Chapter 49

 

I suddenly brushed the collar of my red wedding robes with my fingertips.

 

“Red really suits you well, Master.”

 

Baekah said this as he draped the red robe over me.

 

I missed those eyes that held such warm warmth.

 

‘Baekah, it’s time to take a step for you. So just wait a little longer.’

 

I will pull Baekah up from the cold water where he has sunk.

 

Though I cannot turn back Baekah’s time, at least I can steal away the time of those who took his future.

 

The life added to me is for completing this.

 

So today’s wedding ceremony must absolutely take place.

 

❖ ❖ ❖

 

It was when Yeonriri had finished all preparations and mounted her horse’s saddle to attend the wedding ceremony.

 

“Miss!”

 

The warriors of the Yeon family were running toward her.

 

“What’s the matter?”

 

“The Young Master just departed hurriedly ahead of us. But…”

 

They explained the situation with faces drained white.

 

Though he was wearing red wedding robes, the stench of blood was emanating from him.

 

Yeonriri gripped the reins tightly.

 

[Yeonhopyeong might cause trouble. To protect the Yeon family, you must stop him at all costs.]

 

It was good that she had asked the warriors to quickly inform her if anything happened after receiving Chung-rin’s warning.

 

She had an ominous feeling.

 

“The guards will follow me and depart for Gyojeon.”

 

“Yes!”

 

As Yeonriri spurred her horse’s flanks first and shouted, the warriors also mounted their horses.

 

❖ ❖ ❖

 

‘Chung-rin, Chung-rin…’

 

Yeonhopyeong’s mind was filled with nothing but Chung-rin.

 

The relief he felt immediately after directly killing Yeonhoryeong was only momentary.

 

He felt an intense hunger, and it seemed only Chung-rin could fill this hunger.

 

‘That bastard Maid is targeting Chung-rin…’

 

After falling into qi deviation, his mind demanded only one thing.

 

Death.

 

From the beginning, that was the only answer.

 

Since he had killed his younger brother who was targeting Chung-rin, now it was Maid’s turn.

 

He had to clearly show Chung-rin what happens to those who dare covet what is mine.

 

When his thoughts reached this point, his madly beating heart became quiet and stopped as if it had ceased.

 

It was as if he had transcended the limits of his body.

 

Rather than the energy of the Bloodstone Flower seeping into his blood vessels, it seemed as if it itself was moving his body.

 

He was convinced that if he entrusted his body to this flow, he could achieve what he desired.

 

Before he knew it, he had reached Gyojeon.

 

Not only were there no warriors who should have been guarding the front of Gyojeon, there was no one to be seen.

 

Since Yeonhopyeong believed he was on the right path, he didn’t even think it was strange.

 

He was able to reach Cheonyanggung without any interference.

 

There he saw a disgusting figure.

 

Maid Wicheonso.

 

He was blocking the path to Chung-rin.

 

Perhaps because he was receiving intense sunlight, Wicheonso’s white robes shone brilliantly.

 

When he met those vivid red eyes that were said to have changed from learning the divine arts of the Heavenly Sect, his heart began to race again.

 

He was clearly trying to prevent the wedding with Chung-rin.

 

‘I must kill him.’

 

Only murderous intent dominated Yeonhopyeong.

 

His body was faster than expected.

 

Clang!

 

Sword met sword, creating an intense flash.

 

Blood vessels bulged over the back of his hand.

 

“My… Young Master Yeonhopyeong. Seeing how strong you’ve become in just a few days, you must have encountered some fortune.”

 

The corner of Wicheonso’s mouth twisted upward.

 

Those mocking eyes, that expression didn’t please him.

 

“As expected, is it the Bloodstone Flower? There’s no way such side effects could exist otherwise.”

 

Though Yeonhopyeong didn’t realize it, dark red energy was now flowing around him for anyone to see.

 

Qi deviation.

 

This was a typical side effect of those who hastily absorbed the Bloodstone Flower, evidence that the energy of the Bloodstone Flower was not properly digested and flowing in the wrong direction.

 

As a result, Yeonhopyeong’s mind was consumed by madness composed of desire, anger, and obsession.

 

Of course, he himself was unaware of this.

 

“I am perfectly normal!”

 

Intense killing intent moved Yeonhopyeong’s body.

 

The dark red energy flowing around him was now thick enough to hang like fog.

 

True to one who had fallen into qi deviation, Yeonhopyeong launched sword strikes at Wicheonso without considering the consequences.

 

It was when Wicheonso’s white robes fluttered as he created distance.

 

“Brother Pyeong!”

 

Yeonriri, who had urgently chased after them, kicked off her saddle and launched her body.

 

The warriors of the Yeon family following her all stopped their horses at once behind her.

 

Yeonriri landed between Yeonhopyeong and Wicheonso.

 

“Stop this. This place is Gyojeon.”

 

Yeonriri drew her sword and aimed it at Yeonhopyeong.

 

Meanwhile, the warriors of the Yeon family fell into confusion, not knowing what to do as they looked at the Young Master who was emanating an obviously ominous energy.

 

Yeonhopyeong’s hand holding the sword trembled.

 

“Get out of the way right now!”

 

Yeonhopyeong’s eyes were burning red.

 

“Our Yeon family cannot follow the will of a traitor!”

 

When Yeonriri shouted as if making a declaration, the warriors of the Yeomhwa Family also followed her and raised their respective weapons.

 

Swoosh!

 

Swords were all aimed at Yeonhopyeong at once.

 

“These bastards…!”

 

Sparks flew from Yeonhopyeong’s eyes.

 

Seeing the warriors who dared oppose him, their Young Master, surging emotions welled up.

 

‘I’ll kill everyone who blocks my path!’

 

Yeonhopyeong’s qi deviation had worsened to the point where even the whites of his eyes began to be stained blood red.

 

Clang!

 

Yeonhopyeong quickly charged toward Wicheonso.

 

He pushed aside three warriors of the Yeomhwa Family and swung his sword at Yeonriri.

 

Yeonriri calmly deployed the secret techniques of the Fire Demon Arts.

 

The flames that Yeonhopyeong’s sword thrust out collided with the flames that Yeonriri scattered in mid-air.

 

Along with the sound of blades clashing, Yeonriri’s blade slid over Yeonhopyeong’s blade.

 

She was trying to deflect the sword somehow to stop Yeonhopyeong.

 

However, as heavy sword strikes continued endlessly, Yeonriri was gradually pushed back.

 

Yeonriri’s brow furrowed deeply.

 

The flames that Yeonhopyeong shot out engulfed her.

 

He intended to burn away all those who blocked his path.

 

The madness covered by the fiery energy of the Bloodstone Flower desired Yeonriri’s death.

 

However, only a shadow remained where she had been standing.

 

When the fire demon rushed forward, Yeonriri had deployed her sword barrier and twisted her body.

 

If she had been a moment later, she might have died. Cold sweat trickled down the side of her face.

 

Common sense methods don’t work against Yeonhopyeong, who has fallen into qi deviation.

 

Yeonriri stepped forward with her right foot, thinking of her next move.

 

Swoosh!

 

Flames scattered from the tip of Yeonriri’s sword, but they were soon swallowed by Yeonhopyeong’s red energy.

 

“Riri.”

 

An ominous energy rippled from Yeonhopyeong’s mouth. His face had turned pale, perhaps due to his twisted qi and blood.

 

Yet his strength was still as powerful as a giant’s.

 

“Don’t block my path.”

 

Along with a warning thick with killing intent, heavy sword strikes like iron poured down relentlessly. Yeonriri barely managed to block them. Her elbow tingled.

 

“Urgh…!”

 

One step, then another.

 

The footsteps being pushed backward were clearly imprinted on the stone floor.

 

Still, Yeonriri did not let go of her sword.

 

“As a believer, I cannot tolerate apostates! Even if you’re blood family, I will stop you.”

 

Blood flowed from her clenched lips and desperate cries burst forth, but Yeonhopyeong’s sword strikes did not stop.

 

Yeonriri’s sword drew brilliant trajectories as she poured out all her strength.

 

Clang!

 

The moment sword met sword, with a sharp friction sound, Yeonriri’s blade cracked.

 

The crack in the blade spread instantly, then broke pathetically in half.

 

Yeonhopyeong’s fire demon technique violently attacked the now defenseless Yeonriri. Her eyes shook with terror.

 

Then.

 

A cold wind cut through the flames.

 

White robes stepped forward in front of Yeonriri.

 

It was Third Prince Wicheonso.

 

“Miss Yeom, please step back.”

 

The leisurely smile disappeared from Wicheonso’s face, and only a cold light remained in his eyes.

 

Yeonhopyeong, wrapped in red energy, burst into laughter like a shriek.

 

“Finally moving at last, Magyen!”

 

Blood energy tangled within his body as crimson heat haze rose around him.

 

Wicheonso pointed his sword at Yeonhopyeong without batting an eye.

 

“Yeonhopyeong, where did you obtain the Bloodstone Flower?”

 

A voice completely devoid of laughter pierced Yeonhopyeong’s ears.

 

“Shut up!”

 

With a ear-splitting cry, Yeonhopyeong’s sword rushed toward Wicheonso.

 

Crash!

 

The stone floor where Yeonhopyeong stepped caved in deeply, and his sword strike imbued with fire demon energy flew like an explosion.

 

“Do you think you can kill me?!”

 

Along with Yeonhopyeong’s rough breathing, red flames covered all directions.

 

Wicheonso, standing at the center of those flames, did not retreat even slightly.

 

“As Third Prince of Cheonmugyo, I will execute you for betraying the laws of Cheonmu.”

 

His voice was calm, and his fingertips moved smoothly, tracing the techniques of Cheonwolgong.
