Chapter 813.
“My, how terrifying.”
The Young Boy suppressed his alarm, forcing his eyes to blink.
“I anticipated your martial prowess would rise considerably… but I never expected it to reach this level.”
The Young Boy flashed his white teeth in a smile, as if reclaiming his confidence.
“Which is why I must ask—surely you didn’t think I came alone?”
Croak. Croak croak.
Suddenly, a sound like frogs croaking echoed from somewhere, beginning to fill the air.
Croak croak. Croak croak croak.
The sound grew louder with each passing moment.
Soon it was shrieking madly from all directions as if my eardrums would tear.
Whoosh.
At the same moment, around the Abandoned Manor,
glistening shadows erupted from the earth like geysers, revealing themselves one by one.
They wore no garments, their bare skin exposed like shorn beasts.
They had no hair, and even lacked the genitalia that should naturally be present.
They appeared to be grotesque masses of flesh shaped merely in human form.
“Shall we see just how far you’ve progressed?”
As the Young Boy finished speaking,
Croak croak croak.
The warriors—those lumps of meat in human shape—made eerie croaking sounds like frogs.
Whoosh!
They leaped dozens of feet into the sky, then suddenly began plummeting toward Bu Eunseol.
Flash!
Bu Eunseol unleashed a terrifying cross-shaped sword aura ten feet in size toward them.
The Crescent Moon Reflection Technique had unfolded.
Yet the warriors continued to rush at Bu Eunseol through the gaps in the cross aura.
Slash slash slash slash!
As the Muk Hon Sword whirled at superhuman speed,
hundreds of sword auras rained down like a deluge, slicing the warriors’ bodies into hundreds of pieces.
Thud thud thud.
Yet the warriors’ flesh, carved by the sword auras, was hollow like mud, and not a drop of blood spilled.
Because of this, chunks of flesh began piling up thickly around Bu Eunseol.
‘This is.’
Bu Eunseol’s eyes gleamed as I gazed upon the bodies accumulating around me.
‘In Bi In.’
The boy before me might not be from the Gwi Il Gae,
but rather the master of the Eight Immortals Heaven who commands the In Bi In.
‘There’s a possibility.’
The Gwi Il Gae had only ever strived to create masters from the past, never crafting grotesque flesh beings like these.
‘Of course, it could have been created recently.’
Yet Bu Eunseol sensed that the young boy’s methods were less aligned with the Sam Gye
and far more reminiscent of the In Bi In she had encountered countless times before—beings of incomparable strangeness.
‘Whether In Bi In or Sam Gye, he must possess power rivaling that of a high-ranking leader.’
Otherwise, he could not command so many grotesque beings simultaneously.
Shwing, shwing, shwing, shwing!
Each time the Muk Hon Sword moved at blinding speed,
the In Bi In creatures that rushed forward were not merely shattered—they disintegrated into powder and fell to the ground.
Even if thousands more of such grotesque beings were to swarm forth, they could not touch a single hair on Bu Eunseol’s body.
“Hehehehe. Your swordsmanship is quite remarkable.”
Yet the young boy watching from afar wore a sweet smile.
“But you should have realized they were not human.”
Squelch.
In that instant, the flesh fragments piled around Bu Eunseol began to melt like water,
and with a sickening sound,
a massive barrier rose like a curtain across the sky, engulfing Bu Eunseol.
Crash!
Bu Eunseol unleashed sword energy once more to cleave through the barrier, but it was a deception.
The flesh fragments scattered on the ground,
now liquefied, crept up her ankles and had already risen to her chest.
“Ugh.”
As the liquid spread across her limbs, Bu Eunseol found herself unable to move no matter how hard she struggled.
Glug, glug.
The liquid swiftly rose to her neck.
In that moment, sensations both scorching and freezing washed over her.
Simultaneously, emotions both sorrowful and joyful flooded her consciousness.
As the creatures’ liquefied bodies engulfed her,
every sensation and emotion her body and mind could perceive repeated endlessly.
Glug.
Bu Eunseol was now trapped within the viscous liquid.
“Huh.”
The young boy observing Bu Eunseol submerged in the liquid let out a peculiar exclamation.
“Not even Baek Pal Sung, yet with such ordinary bone structure… to have reached this level of attainment.”
It seemed the boy possessed the ability to perceive the bone structure and physique of those contained within the liquid.
“It is beyond belief.”
The boy muttered softly, as if unable to comprehend.
“I thought she would possess extraordinary bone structure and constitution.”
Having transcended the martial realm achievable by the younger generation and reached the level of one who oversees the Murim itself,
she should have been born with exceptionally superior bone structure.
Even if that were not the case, he was certain there must be something else of great significance.
Yet the sensation transmitted through the liquid was merely this.
My body and spirit had simply been tempered to their absolute limits.
Was I not, in truth, possessed of nothing more than an utterly ordinary physical form?
Shuuuush.
The place where Bu Eunseol had stood had become a colossal mountain of accumulated flesh.
“A waste of time, nothing more.”
From the eyes of the sighing young boy, a sickly yellow radiance emanated.
“No matter how lofty the martial realm one reaches, without strong bones and sinews, it is utterly useless.”
Shuuuush.
From the mountain constructed of flesh, pale smoke began to rise.
Poison Formless—Toxin Without Shape.
What the young boy had unleashed was.
A mysterious poison technique that only masters who had reached the pinnacle of poison mastery could deploy.
The flesh creatures that had assailed Bu Eunseol were.
Not actual humans, but illusory warriors crafted from poison, and thus.
They could be freely transformed between liquid and solid states.
“Having survived countless battles against various masters until now, your Mental World may prove ineffective.”
The young boy smiled broadly.
“But Poison Formless cannot be evaded. Even a poison master who has cultivated poison techniques their entire life cannot withstand it.”
The young boy, employing the method of Poison Formless that transcended the limits of poison mastery,
had created poisons and techniques never before seen in this world, and with them had dissolved Bu Eunseol in a single breath.
Glurrrgh.
The mountain of flesh piled high like a great tower was melting away like water.
No matter how extraordinary one’s martial arts, no matter how supreme one’s martial power,
once trapped within a mountain of poison so potent it could melt iron like water, there was no hope of escape.
Chuuk.
Yet something astonishing occurred.
From the dissolving flesh, a human form began to appear—was it not?
“What?”
The young boy was greatly startled.
“Even if a protective qi barrier were deployed, it should be useless.”
The poison he had created had already adhered to the flesh of Bu Eunseol’s arms and legs.
Therefore, even if a protective qi barrier were manifested in such a state, the dissolution could not be prevented.
Yet how could vital signs be detected?
“No?”
The young boy cried out in alarm.
As the dissolved flesh completely flowed to the ground like liquid, he discovered Bu Eunseol standing perfectly intact before him.
“How is this possible.”
As the young boy murmured,
Shuuk.
Bu Eunseol, having evaporated the toxic liquid clinging to her body, wore a faint smile.
“A poison technique worth employing. I’ve learned something valuable from you.”
“What?”
Only then did the young boy realize that the liquids adhering to Bu Eunseol’s body had transformed into pure water completely devoid of toxicity.
This meant she had either absorbed the poison into her body or neutralized it completely through the subtle art of countering poison with poison.
“Poison Body Mastery.”
The young boy shook his head in disbelief.
“How did you reach such a realm without any trace being detected?”
It was well-known that Bu Eunseol had attained extraordinary martial prowess.
But the fact that she had mastered such a terrifying poison technique was completely unknown.
“No, that can’t be right.”
When one masters poison techniques, a distinctive aura characteristic of poison users emanates outward.
Even upon reaching the pinnacle of poison mastery, one cannot conceal the completion of Poison Body Mastery.
Yet Bu Eunseol bore no traces of having studied poison techniques whatsoever.
“Could it be that you’ve learned the martial arts of the Poison Emperor, one of the Eight Emperors and Three Stars?”
“The Poison Emperor?”
Bu Eunseol laughed softly and spoke.
“Taking pride in such an unremarkable poison.”
It was sincere.
No matter how formidable the young boy’s poison was, it could not compare to the venom of the Poison Dragon.
Therefore, when the young boy’s toxic qi entered her body, Bu Eunseol naturally accepted it.
Just as she had done countless times before.
She simply converted it back into the form of true qi and stored it.
Moreover, Bu Eunseol’s body already contained the venom of the Poison Dragon and the toxin of the Wind Divine Palace stored as inner elixirs.
Thus she could neutralize any poison, and no toxin could ever damage her flesh.
“Well, well, I made a mistake today.”
The young boy smiled wryly and shook his head.
“I shouldn’t have relied solely on poison… Perhaps we’ll meet again.”
His body gradually faded into a transparent state and began to disappear.
The young boy was openly attempting to flee.
No matter how much Bu Eunseol’s martial prowess had increased, he was confident she could not stop his escape.
But he did not know.
Not only had Bu Eunseol’s martial prowess developed brilliantly, but she had also obtained the Wind Cloud Divine Qi.
Whoosh.
A sudden gust of wind from nowhere caused the young boy’s fading form to regain its color.
With singular determination not to let him escape, she unleashed her power.
The Wind Cloud Divine Qi naturally merged with the Crystal Divine Qi, and in an instant, it burrowed into the young boy’s body.
Sealing the qi within his frame.
“This is…”
The young boy gazed in astonishment at the transparent qi that had invaded his body.
“Can you use sorcery as well?”
Had I relied solely on the Windcloud Divine Technique, the young boy would have immediately sensed that power.
But the Crystal Divine Technique was the most natural force among all divine techniques.
When it merged with the Windcloud Divine Technique, it unfolded like an arcane sorcery that even the young boy could not detect.
“This is truly remarkable. To think the Nangya Pavilion Master taught such things.”
At those words, Bu Eunseol’s eyebrows rose sharply.
‘The Pavilion Master is versed in sorcery?’
Ak Moo Ryung was known only as a scholar of martial arts, with no history of employing sorcery.
Yet hearing the young boy’s words, he spoke as though Ak Moo Ryung were deeply versed in such techniques.
“I surrender. I cannot break free from this.”
The young boy looked down at his body and shrugged his shoulders.
“Because it contains the power of Parsa, I simply cannot shake it off.”
A flash.
In that instant, a brilliant gleam crossed Bu Eunseol’s eyes.
The young boy had just unleashed a terrifying poison technique potent enough to intoxicate all of Tianxia in a single breath.
Yet bound by this divine technique, his body could not move an inch.
‘So that was it.’
Only then did Bu Eunseol realize the young boy had not properly cultivated poison techniques.
Rather, he had stored poison within his body to deploy the formless poison-severing method.
And she could now unravel the secret of that peculiar physique that could not be cut even when slashed.
“Where is my grandfather’s corpse?”
“You’ve misunderstood something. Unfortunately, I am not actually a member of Gwi Il Gae….”
But those words never finished.
The Muk Hon Sword flashed brilliantly, instantly severing half his neck.
“There will be no pain, and no blood will flow.”
As Bu Eunseol gazed at the dangling neck of the young boy, a crimson blood-light radiated from her eyes.
“Unlike Sang Je, you do not possess a separate complete body. You must have connected that toy-like flesh with parts of your original form.”
The young boy had deployed a poison technique.
One that far transcended the realm of entering fire and exiting form, reaching an incomprehensible height.
It possessed absolute power that even masters of the Mujuk Realm could not withstand.
Yet it could not resist the power of this divine technique at all?
That meant this toy-like flesh was.
The poison itself that enabled the deployment of the formless poison-severing method, directly connected to the original body.
But this divine technique had burrowed into his body and severed that connection point.
Despite possessing a terrifying ability and a physique steeped in extreme toxins, he could not even flee and was captured.
“You are truly a great adversary. You have truly become a formidable foe.”
The young boy clapped in apparent amazement as Bu Eunseol grasped his secret.
“So it is true that you killed Jang In.”
And then he continued.
“Is the only information you desire from me about your grandfather’s remains?”
“….”
“Honestly, I don’t know. Even if you kill me.”
His expression remained composed.
“You’d understand better than anyone that torturing me is pointless. In that case, wouldn’t it be better to obtain the information you desire instead?”
Even if this boy’s shell is part of my true self.
It wouldn’t affect my life in any meaningful way.
No matter how much you torture me, there’s no information to extract.
“What do you say? Are you interested?”
The boy was proposing an exchange—he would provide information in return for his freedom.
“Where is my grandfather’s corpse?”
“I already told you. I’m not affiliated with Gwi Il Gae.”
The boy spoke with absolute confidence.
“Ask me something else instead.”
“You’re saying you’ll tell me everything you know?”
“How could I? I’d rather lose a small part of my body than do that.”
The boy’s eyes narrowed into crescents.
“Information about In Bi In.”
The boy spoke with unwavering resolve.
“I’ll reveal those secrets to you.”
Remarkably, the boy was claiming his true affiliation wasn’t Gwi Il Gae, but the Eight Immortals Heaven.
“How can I know if what you’re saying is true or false?”
“It can be verified through the Mental World. Whether it’s truth or deception.”
When someone constructs a Mental World.
Within it, they become an invincible existence, or can even defy the laws of nature itself.
However, those trapped within the Mental World.
Can glimpse things like the caster’s memories there.
The boy was proposing to prove the truth of his words through this method.
“However, I cannot reveal information that would destroy In Bi In’s power. For example, the Main Base, or the identity of Cheon Ju.”
Essentially, he refused to disclose any information that could topple the In Bi In organization.
Bu Eunseol regarded the boy for a moment.
His cheerful smile made it seem as though he viewed all of this as mere play.
‘Good.’
Bu Eunseol, having devised some stratagem, nodded in agreement.
“What is your affiliation?”
“This shell belongs to In Bi In. Naturally, I’m affiliated with In Bi In.”
This implied that the true self, not merely the shell, might not belong to In Bi In.
However, since the boy had agreed to reveal only information about In Bi In, Bu Eunseol did not press the matter.
“What is In Bi In’s purpose?”
“An excellent question.”
The boy smiled faintly.
“He’s providing a temporary vessel for him to inhabit.”
The voice rang out clear and bright.
“Since he undergoes endless reincarnation, if he were to maintain a child’s body indefinitely, he would be killed in no time at all.”
“Reincarnation, you say….”
“Exactly. The Murim call him Jin Ma.”
Bu Eunseol’s eyes wavered like ripples on water.
So Jin Ma’s reincarnation while retaining his memories was not mere fantasy after all.
“Then he hasn’t been sealed?”
“He has been sealed. His spirit is scattered in all directions, unable to find his original body.”
“Then why create a temporary one?”
The young boy laughed brightly.
“There’s another method to create his complete body. So In Bi In is merely crafting a temporary vessel for now.”
In other words, In Bi In’s objective was to create a temporary body for Jin Ma to inhabit before he obtained his true form.
“Is that why you sent Gwi Ah and Evil Spirits into the Murim? To research bodies?”
“Correct. Even if it’s temporary, a special constitution is necessary. That’s the only way the great technique will work.”
The young boy shook his head.
“Of course, it doesn’t always succeed… so they’re endlessly researching the bodies of the strong, creating similar forms in the process.”
Bu Eunseol felt a strange thought stirring.
Everything explained so far was remarkably
similar to what Gui Il Gae was doing, was it not?
“Are Gui Il Gae and In Bi In one and the same?”
“That couldn’t be.”
The young boy shook his head.
“But they are in a cooperative relationship. Gui Il Gae inherited the great technique of the Baek Ri Family… and In Bi In is likewise a cradle of Demonic Path techniques, so their natures align.”
“Two opposing forces joined together in research.”
“That’s the gist of it.”
Bu Eunseol wore an expression of incomprehension.
“How can opposing forces possibly unite?”
“Gui Il Gae calls themselves the Three Realms, but they’re completely mad.”
The young boy laughed.
“They desire complete annihilation.”
“The same as Jin Ma’s purpose?”
The young boy shook his head.
“Not at all. He has existed since the beginning and possesses eternal life, or so they say. But what meaning would there be in destroying the Murim?”
“In Bi In has some completely different, insane doctrine unlike any other Incheon. Why do they kill the innocent under such pretense?”
“You can’t really call them innocent. They’re being reborn stronger, after all.”
The young boy grinned widely.
A flash of light passed through Bu Eunseol’s eyes as she listened silently.
‘This one is an outsider.’
From the young boy’s answers so far, two facts had become apparent.
First, this Young Boy was not of legitimate Inbiyin bloodline.
The Inbiyin killed weak humans to allow them to be born strong, and through suffering, they burned away the karmic debts of the flesh—such was their absurd doctrine.
Yet they held it sacred with unwavering conviction, believing in it with absolute certainty.
However, the Young Boy showed no reverence for their doctrine, nor did his demeanor suggest deep trust in its principles.
Second, he referred to Jin Ma without hesitation as “he”—a casual designation.
When figures like Gwon In spoke of Jin Ma with the respectful circumlocution “that one,” even if this Young Boy were truly the Heavenly Lord of Inbiyin—
he could not refer to Jin Ma so casually.
This meant the Young Boy was not truly Inbiyin, but rather someone from another faction cooperating with them.
The probability was overwhelmingly high.
Bu Eunseol posed a question that would instantly clarify this point.
“Are you also a member of the Covenant?”
“Oh, you received an invitation?”
The Young Boy let out an exclamation of admiration.
“How fortunate. At your age, you must be the first to receive the Covenant.”
‘So that’s it.’
Whoever was controlling the Young Boy’s true body was not only considerably aged but also a martial artist enrolled in the Covenant.
Because the Blue-Robed Elder had stated that no one of his own age had ever obtained the Covenant.
And the Covenant was only granted to martial artists who had become powerful.
In other words, this Young Boy was not truly Inbiyin but a martial artist, either impersonating them for some reason
or certainly cooperating with the Inbiyin as an ally.
‘I’ll expose the truth.’
Ultimately, the Young Boy had not answered honestly, but Bu Eunseol did not press him on it.
Instead, she had deliberately accepted his proposal to uncover his true identity.
“Very well.”
A faint hum.
Bu Eunseol nodded and immediately released the foreign qi she had embedded in his body.
“Go.”
The Young Boy tilted his head in bewilderment.
“Is that all your questions?”
Truthfully, his answers had contained almost no crucial information.
He had expected the real interrogation to begin now, yet it was already over?
“As long as the condition remains that I won’t destroy your organization, there’s nothing more to ask.”
Bu Eunseol’s eyes grew infinitely cold.
“You’ll only cling to vague answers and deepen the confusion.”
The longer the conversation continued,
the more the Young Boy obscured even the facts I already knew.
If all truth could not be revealed,
further dialogue was meaningless.
“There’s nothing to say when you understand that much.”
The Young Boy had never intended to give Bu Eunseol proper information.
I had made it clear that I would not reveal the location of the main base or the identity of the leader.
My intention was merely to speak truthfully in response to his questions through clever rhetoric, while deepening his confusion.
“In fact, one can tell only the truth and still create confusion in many ways.”
The Young Boy used Bu Eunseol’s questions as bait.
He was actually devising a plan to compound the confusion in her mind instead.
“Ma Cheon Je primarily employs such methods. Isn’t that right?”
Bu Eunseol’s eyes narrowed as she grasped something.
“In truth, it mattered little to you whether your body was destroyed or not. You merely feigned fear and claimed you would answer my questions.”
“Precisely.”
The Young Boy shrugged his shoulders.
“But even now that you’ve realized this, you have no intention of breaking your word, do you?”
Bu Eunseol glared at the Young Boy.
And she nodded as though resigned to her fate.
“I will release you as promised. Go.”
“Excellent. The Muk Hon Ryeong Ju truly possesses the integrity I’ve heard of.”
The Young Boy extended his thumb in approval.
“Then we shall meet again next time.”
Whoosh.
In an instant, he unfolded a mysterious divine technique akin to sorcery and vanished from sight.
“….”
Bu Eunseol stared coldly at the spot where the Young Boy had disappeared, a chill smile crossing her lips.
“I said I would release him, but I never said I wouldn’t pursue him immediately.”
The great masters of Murim guard their words as though they were precious gold, and consider breaking them a disgrace.
Especially Bu Eunseol, whose words and actions were always consistent—the Young Boy would trust this absolutely.
But since I had not promised not to pursue him, I could confidently chase after him.
“Of course, he believed that even if I pursued him, I could never catch his tail, which is why he didn’t extract such a promise from me.”
The Young Boy was confident.
If Bu Eunseol merely released the seal on the power within his body.
Even with relentless pursuit, he was certain he could shake off any trace in an instant.
Because on Yeong Pa Island as well, he had vanished so instantaneously that Bu Eunseol couldn’t even pursue him.
“In the past, I might have lost him.”
But there was one fact the Young Boy could never have known.
That Bu Eunseol possessed three of the Sasin techniques—divine abilities of the highest order.
And that one of them was the Wind Cloud Divine Technique, capable of sensing the flow of wind infinitely.
“But now, I will absolutely not let him escape.”
Whoooosh.
As I unleashed the Wind Cloud Divine Technique, a faint breeze stirred, and my body became completely transparent.
Because the Wind Cloud Divine Technique was a power infinitely close to nature itself, merely drawing upon it.
I became perfectly one with the surrounding landscape, as though executing the concealment arts of the extreme realm.
Crack!
Bu Eunseol unfolded her divine technique and swiftly moved in the direction the young boy had vanished.
Whether it was sorcery, divine technique, or shapeshifting—it mattered not.
Whether he transformed into a wooden stick or a fly, the boy would have cut through the air as he moved.
Moreover, only a short time had passed since his departure.
Thus, I could immediately detect that flow and pursue him.
Tssss, tssss, tssss, tssss.
Bu Eunseol, now rendered transparent, was rapidly tracking the path the young boy had taken.
The Extreme Speed Shadowless Technique was fundamentally a divine movement art akin to concealment magic, making it difficult for ordinary senses to even detect traces of divine technique deployment.
Yet when combined with Wind Cloud Divine Qi and unfolded, not only did her form become completely transparent.
Even as she deployed divine technique, her presence vanished perfectly, as if she had unleashed the Ghost Eating Great Method.
Tssss, tssss, tssss, tssss.
How long had she been unfolding divine technique?
By then, the sun was already setting.
The young boy’s divine technique was truly like light itself, barely allowing Bu Eunseol to keep pace.
‘How very cautious.’
To prepare against even the slimmest possibility of being tracked.
He had arranged individuals with superior divine techniques and similar body sizes to obscure his trail.
This was a simple, archaic method that intelligence organizations with spider-web-like information networks would never employ.
Yet in a situation like this, it proved remarkably effective.
Had she not tracked him using Wind Cloud Divine Qi?
No matter how superior one’s pursuit techniques or how formidable one’s intelligence network,
one would never have accurately grasped the boy’s movements.
‘Whatever his identity, one thing is certain—he is no contemporary youth.’
Judging solely by the young boy’s escape methods, these were absolutely not techniques employed by modern practitioners.
His true body must surely be a seasoned warrior of considerable experience and age.
A faint blue light flickered.
Bu Eunseol precisely grasped the traces of the boy’s movement and continued her relentless pursuit.
And finally, on the fourth day.
Bu Eunseol discovered the true main base to which the young boy belonged.
Because there, his trail ended, and there was no further movement.
‘This place is….’
Bu Eunseol, gazing upon the massive and ornate entrance, drew a deep breath.
Ma Do Je Il Geom Mun.
The place where the young boy had concealed himself was none other than the Hwawoo Sword Sect.
