Chapter 88

 

 

‘Perfect.’

 

Jung Myeong did not allow himself to be absorbed by the Golden Crown Jade Seal 24 Forms even after obtaining them from the Quanzhen Sect.

Instead, he melted and absorbed the Golden Crown Jade Seal 24 Forms into his foundation, the Three Origin Poison Art.

To abandon the highly perfected martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect and melt them into something like the incomplete Three Origin Poison Art!

Anyone else would have immediately called him insane for such an act.

But at the time, he had no hesitation whatsoever while performing this mad deed.

 

‘That is my path. Even if I learned the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect, this doesn’t change.’

 

This was typical of Jung Myeong, who stubbornly insisted on his own path in any way.

He would break before bending.

He would compromise but still protect himself – that was his nature.

He learned martial arts in that same manner.

 

‘I’ve lived this way since my awakening.’

 

Therefore, even though he had placed himself with the Quanzhen Sect, he never thought of founding his own sect.

He only cherished the connections that came through them.

This was his own line.

Ultimately, he had not done these things seeking others’ understanding.

 

‘I don’t need others’ understanding.’

 

From martial arts to his way of life.

He simply walked his own path.

Having made such attributes his belief and even reached the Super Peak Level, it wasn’t without results.

Thus, the will he gained upon becoming Super Peak Level was precisely Indomitability!

It was an attribute that could represent him – one who never broke or yielded anywhere.

He had demonstrated this enlightenment, whose extent of expansion was unknown, through this battle.

The results he showed were satisfying even to himself.

 

‘Even when using the Three Origin Poison Art, I suffer no internal injuries or disruption of energy.’

 

His swordsmanship had no problems melting other sword techniques either.

The energy he possessed continued to rise without breaking.

The power of all the martial arts he possessed had doubled.

His momentum became fiercer.

His energy surged to a level that could be called explosive.

The sword energy he unleashed became hard as iron, crushing enemies.

This was the result of melting his enlightened will of indomitability into his martial arts.

 

‘Powerful.’

 

Even though he still needed a bit of training to fully absorb and become accustomed to the enlightenment he had gained, he was already at this level.

For having briefly visited the archipelago, this was a great achievement.

However, if there was one thing that left him unsatisfied.

 

“Now, let’s see where those things came from.”

 

It was the identity of those who remained like dregs and threatened Yeo Eun-so’s life.

 

 

* * *

 

 

“Kyaaaaaaak…! Kkeuk…!”

 

Do you know the sound bones make when they break?

When they break cleanly, it ends with a short snapping sound, but when they’re crushed, that sound was hard to hear.

Because it was drowned out by the screams.

However, when that crushing was repeated.

Crack. Craaack. Crunch.

Even amid the screams, the sound of breaking was bound to be heard.

Such was the current state.

 

‘Cruel.’

 

Yeo Eun-so, who had not yet completely shed her Orthodox Sect nature.

To her eyes, the scene Jung Myeong had created inside this Guandi Temple was nothing but brutal.

About ten who survived the battle with Jung Myeong.

They were those who survived after being hit by needles while attempting to flee. They didn’t survive intact.

Having been hit by brutally thrown needles, they became half-paralyzed or suffered internal injuries.

Jung Myeong mercilessly applied the Bone Breaking Technique to such people.

 

“From now on, you’ll need to explain well how you came here and why you came.”

 

Words thrown out quietly.

It was the Bone Breaking Technique applied to carry out those words.

She could only quietly watch the brutal scene that unfolded as a result.

It wasn’t because she was afraid of the cruelty.

It was better for Jung Myeong to handle it alone than for her to interfere.

 

‘…It’s really hard to be of help.’

 

The most she could do was.

 

“Kkeuk…!”

 

Move the corpses to one side after they died.

Amid the brutal scene.

Much was learned.

 

These were all people who had followed her.

Meaning they were people who came from Anhui.

The reason these people came all the way here was one thing.

 

“Do you have the Jangbo Map they’re talking about?”

“There’s no way. The precious treasure I had before was a key for the training grounds, so it might be something similar, but it’s not what they mentioned.”

“That’s certainly the case.”

 

A Jangbo Map that doesn’t even exist.

They came all the way here based on rumors that she brought it.

If they kill her and obtain the Jangbo Map, they could get tremendous secret manuals.

 

‘This is a more effective method than I thought.’

 

The Jangbo Map. Hundreds, even thousands of martial artists go mad and move for that one thing.

For a commotion caused by a single rumor, it can move tremendous numbers of people.

They spread such a rumor.

That method is truly cunning.

 

“The technique of hiding lies within half-truths is quite devious.”

“It’s a method occasionally used by orthodox martial artists.”

“Aren’t you also an orthodox martial artist, Young Lady?”

“Not anymore, right? I’ll be affiliated with the medical clinic.”

“Not with Quanzhen?”

“I think it’s the same either way.”

“Wow. You really got me there.”

“Anyway… this rumor is quite a big problem.”

“Indeed.”

 

When the rumors were compiled, they were sinister.

 

[Snow Plum Sword Yeo Eun-so, who was targeting Goshan Sect’s treasure, has the Jangbo Map. To open that Jangbo Map, she also stole Goshan Sect’s treasure.]

 

The source was none other than the Goshan Sect Leader.

 

‘Perhaps the Goshan Sect Leader actually said such things.’

 

They made good use of her situation of being in conflict with Goshan Sect.

This method of melting lies into truth!

It was quite effective.

If time passes like this, the matter will grow even bigger.

Right now it’s just one attack.

But if more time passes, the martial artists of Hangzhou might attack Yeo Eun-so who supposedly has the Jangbo Map.

No, it’s certain.

By then, things will grow to an unmanageable degree.

 

‘Even now, more people than expected have been set in motion, haven’t they?’

 

The trouble is troublesome, but.

The level felt from that move is remarkable.

Seeing how they spread rumors to make things big, they’re even bold.

Cunning yet bold.

Having these two contradictory traits itself makes it an inevitable great move.

 

‘Goshan Sect that chased Yeo Eun-so. They say their sect leader is the source of the rumor, but this isn’t something they could pull off at best.’

 

Could Goshan have pulled off such a move? Not at all.

Though Goshan Sect has established itself in Anhui and achieved considerable prosperity.

This isn’t something a mere small to medium sect would pull off.

 

‘Then it’s someone higher than them?’

 

Higher than Goshan Sect in Anhui.

There was a place that naturally came to mind.

 

“Could it be Namgung?”

“Namgung, you say.”

 

Namgung, the ruler of Anhui Province!

They become the most suspicious.

For them, moving the Goshan Sect Leader would be easy.

There are even stories that they actually learned martial arts from Namgung.

The possibility is highest.

However, Jung Myeong shook his head at this.

 

“It probably isn’t. There are many things that don’t make sense if we say it’s Namgung, aren’t there?”

“That’s right. Those who possess the Emperor Sword Form wouldn’t need to covet our Quanzhen’s secret arts.”

“Exactly. There’s no reason they couldn’t possess the martial arts that Black Point has either.”

“Hmm… that’s also true.”

“Yes. It’s reality. Besides, moving now to take over one training ground is also strange, isn’t it?”

“Then there must be another reason.”

“That’s right.”

 

However, it was difficult to easily agree.

This isn’t something Namgung would move for.

 

‘I don’t see what they’d gain by moving.’

 

Also, if they’re the ones Jung Myeong vaguely knows.

They wouldn’t choose such a method.

They could have used a cleaner method than this.

 

‘If it were Namgung, they would have secretly moved Baekyang Escort Agency in Hangzhou. They’re not the type to cause trouble this way.’

 

So Namgung is excluded for now.

The problem is that even excluding them, there are still concerning aspects.

 

“Graaah… huff… kill me. Kill me! Quickly!”

 

The leader who brought those well-trained individuals.

That person who endures despite the terrible pain inflicted through the Bone Breaking Technique is the problem.

It seems that person knows something.

Some information that the dead subordinates didn’t know.

 

‘There’s definitely something he’s hiding.’

 

But he absolutely refuses to open his mouth.

Using internal energy to enhance his nerves.

Through that, multiplying the pain of the Bone Breaking Technique, driving him to the brink of death, yet he endures.

The more he did so, the stronger his conviction grew.

The conviction that there was something.

So Jung Myeong continued to inflict pain on him.

 

“Kuhh… huh…”

 

Finally, the limit approached.

The physical limit of the Leader’s body had come.

Perhaps sensing that his death was approaching.

 

“Hehe… hehehehe… hehehe.”

 

Rather than fearing his own death, the opponent showed a smile.

Looking directly at Jung Myeong, he tried to show his venom until the very end.

Truly a vicious one.

 

‘Ha, must I let him go without any results?’

 

How could that be satisfying?

The audacity to spread rumors about the Jangbo Map circulating.

The meticulousness and vastness to train such a person, whoever they might be.

Just learning about these things was indeed gaining significant information.

But it was regrettable not to obtain concrete information.

Not wanting to let this fellow go with such regret.

Jung Myeong immediately devised a scheme.

 

“Now I understand. You bastard, you belong to a place connected to Jeonjin, don’t you?”

 

Half suspicion. Half wishful thinking.

Jung Myeong threw out one last move until the very end.

Perhaps due to letting his guard down at the last moment before death.

 

“!!!!”

 

The opponent’s eyes trembled violently, as if hit right on the mark.

That was a signal. A signal that Jung Myeong had made a correct deduction and achieved results.

Along with that signal.

 

“…”

 

The opponent lost his strength and met his death.

Watching the hand fall helplessly to the floor, Jung Myeong thought.

 

‘This is getting complicated.’

 

Without his knowledge, something was happening.

Jung Myeong’s nerves became greatly on edge as he grasped the situation.
