Chapter 427. This Disciple Will Serve You
“Wh, who…?!?”
Yeong So-hyang was startled.
An outsider in this place.
Her surprise was brief.
She quickly pulled her body back and drew up all her internal energy.
Her hands turned red.
Evidence that she was operating the Blood Sea Ghost Death Palm.
Won Pyeong-sam chuckled at the sight.
“You’ve learned quite well on your own.”
At the same time, his hands also turned red.
At that sight, Yeong So-hyang was startled and opened her eyes wide.
She had no choice.
Since she was cultivating the Blood Sea Ghost Death Palm, she could tell.
That was the Blood Sea Ghost Death Palm.
‘H, how…’
How could a middle-aged man who suddenly appeared use the strongest martial arts of the destroyed Blood Sea Sect?
The middle-aged man’s hands continued to turn red.
As if claiming his level was different from Yeong So-hyang’s, they gradually turned bright red.
Soon they became almost translucent.
“Th, that’s…”
Yeong So-hyang’s eyes shook violently.
She had no choice.
The secret manual clearly described it.
If one mastered the Blood Sea Ghost Death Palm to ultimate achievement, both hands would reach a translucent red color.
And.
If one surpassed ultimate achievement.
While Yeong So-hyang was recalling the next part.
Won Pyeong-sam’s hands continued to change.
Both hands returned to ordinary flesh color.
However.
All his fingernails were emitting a bright red light.
A bright red light redder than blood.
‘It, it becomes like that…’
The Blood Sea Ghost Death Palm that surpassed ultimate achievement and entered a new realm.
That was truly the Blood Sea Sect’s strongest ultimate technique and the true Blood Sea Ghost Death Palm.
Yeong So-hyang looked on with disbelieving eyes, as if her mind was bewitched.
“Well then, shall we check what your actual level is?”
When Won Pyeong-sam lightly waved his hand, red palm force flew toward Yeong So-hyang.
Startled, she thrust both hands forward with all her might.
The palm force from both hands intertwined and spiraled outward.
Kwang!
With a tremendous explosion, everything around shook.
Dust fell pattering down.
Yeong So-hyang staggered backward.
Won Pyeong-sam still stood in place with a leisurely expression.
“Not bad.”
It was his honest feeling.
To have learned the corrupted Blood Sea Ghost Death Palm to this extent with only a secret manual showed she had that much talent.
Yeong So-hyang gritted her teeth.
A mysterious stranger of unknown identity.
Though he was a master beyond her imagination.
The leader of Haomun’s Main Headquarters couldn’t be defeated like this in this place.
She drew up her internal energy with full power.
At that moment.
“Stop it. Grand Princess.”
The voice of Sect Leader Bae Un-san reached her ears.
At his familiar voice, Yeong So-hyang paused momentarily.
Bae Un-san revealed himself.
He explained the general situation to her.
That he was a mysterious master from Saeoe, originally the Family Head of the family that possessed the Blood Sea Ghost Death Palm.
That in exchange for teaching the Blood Sea Ghost Death Palm and one martial art, Haomun had agreed to find eight pieces of information he wanted.
Yeong So-hyang still looked back and forth between the two men with a bewildered face.
How could such a master suddenly drop from the sky?
Could this man face Ha Mu-baek, that monster?
Such a thought suddenly occurred to her.
So she observed Won Pyeong-sam carefully.
She tried to sense the qi aura he was emitting.
But with her level, she couldn’t tell.
She couldn’t gauge either Ha Mu-baek or Won Pyeong-sam.
“Then Mother is…”
Yeong So-hyang asked with a trembling voice.
“If Great Person Won’s words are true, the Great Lady will recover her martial arts.”
Bae Un-san referred to Ye Cho-ah as Great Lady.
Originally he would have liked to call her Grand Sect Leader, but he couldn’t do so.
Because of the Sahae Alliance.
She was a sect leader they had deposed.
If Haomun were to call such a sect leader Grand Sect Leader again.
Would they really stay quiet?
Thinking of Ye Cho-ah confined by the Sahae Alliance, he couldn’t do so.
“Let me take a look.”
Won Pyeong-sam immediately grasped the pulse point of the still bewildered Yeong So-hyang.
And he slowly examined her interior.
It was to confirm what level of bone structure she had.
‘Hm? Th, this is…?’
And he was startled.
It was because she was born with completely unexpected bone structure.
‘Definitely the Vermillion Bird Blood Spirit Body! H, how…?’
Won Pyeong-sam was truly surprised.
The Vermillion Bird Blood Spirit Body.
Who would have thought he’d discover such an ancient constitution in a place like this.
It was like finding an ancient treasure inside a box he had picked up without any thought.
The Vermillion Bird Blood Spirit Body.
The Blood Cult simply knew it as a constitution with resistance to the curse of Destruction Art.
That’s why Blood Cult’s Sip-ro Do Mun-wi had tried to make Yeong So-hyang learn the Divine Annihilation Arts.
But if that was truly all there was to it, Won Pyeong-sam wouldn’t have been so shocked.
Regarding the Vermillion Bird Blood Spirit Body, his faction called Heaven clearly knew additional facts.
Won Pyeong-sam removed his hand from her pulse point and stepped back.
Then he looked back at Bae Un-san.
“I’d like to change the conditions of our deal. Would that be possible?”
“What do you mean by that…?”
At Won Pyeong-sam’s sudden words, Bae Un-san asked with bewildered eyes.
“Having those two investigated will be sufficient. Instead.”
“Instead…?”
“I’ll take this child as my disciple.”
At those words, Bae Un-san was shocked.
Taking her as Won Pyeong-sam’s disciple meant she would have to enter that mysterious faction of unknown location.
She who was Haomun’s Grand Princess and designated as the next Sect Leader.
“That’s absolutely impossible.”
Bae Un-san hastily refused.
“How strong are you?”
At that moment.
Yeong So-hyang looked at Won Pyeong-sam and asked.
“Hm? How strong am I?”
Won Pyeong-sam chuckled as if it was absurd.
At least since entering the Central Plains, he had never sensed anyone stronger than himself.
Yet such a ridiculous question.
“Probably stronger than you could ever imagine.”
“What level would that be?”
She continued with bold questions.
“Strong enough to easily cut through and escape from something like the cold iron prison you made?”
Though Yeong So-hyang also knew what the cold iron prison was.
She couldn’t grasp what level it would take to easily cut through it.
So she looked at Bae Un-san.
“At minimum, the peak of the Transcendent level.”
That much would be needed to attempt an escape.
Hadn’t the one who created the mechanism said so?
“Then are you stronger than Ha Mu-baek or the Four Seas Alliance Leader? Even stronger than the Blood Cult?”
Those she held grudges against flowed out one after another.
“I don’t know who they are. So I can’t answer that. However, my level is several stages higher than that peak of Transcendent you mentioned. I don’t know what standards you use to divide levels. But I passed through the realm of Transcending Demons long ago.”
Transcending Demons .
In demonic arts, it was the realm of casting off the influence of demonic energy.
A realm no different from the Enlightenment realm spoken of by orthodox sects.
He was saying he had passed through that realm long ago.
That’s why Bae Un-san’s eyes trembled violently.
Because he knew that Transcending Demons was a realm called by the Demon Cult.
‘These people are connected to the Demon Cult in some way.’
He had noticed when they emanated demonic energy, when they sought the Demon Cult.
But hearing that realm directly.
Made it feel more real.
Still, the reason he had made a deal with them was because it was a deal.
Haomun was an unorthodox sect anyway.
Therefore, they could also accept requests from those with demonic energy.
Since the Demon Cult had already been destroyed.
However.
Having someone from Haomun enter as a disciple into a faction with demonic arts was a different matter.
It was beyond just researching annihilation arts.
Whether Blood Cult or Demon Cult.
They were enemies of the Central Plains’ Murim.
“What realm is Transcending Demons?”
Yeong So-hyang asked Bae Un-san.
“It’s a realm similar to the orthodox sects’ Enlightenment realm.”
Bae Un-san answered honestly.
Yeong So-hyang looked at Won Pyeong-sam with shocked eyes.
This middle-aged man.
Was a master at a similar realm to the Blood Cult Leader, Demon Cult Leader, or Jeongcheon Alliance Leader?
“If I become your disciple, how quickly and how strong can I become?”
Yeong So-hyang asked, looking at Won Pyeong-sam again.
From that question, Won Pyeong-sam could tell she too was consumed with resentment for strong power.
“One year. In one year, you can reach the realm of Transcending Demons.”
So he told her honestly.
Something possible only because it was her.
At those words, Bae Un-san was shocked.
“That’s impossible!”
He had no choice but to shout that.
If someone promised to make you reach the Enlightenment realm in just one year, whether in orthodox or unorthodox sects.
They’d be treated as a madman.
Won Pyeong-sam nodded.
“It is impossible. You’re right. But you can do it. If your innate Vermillion Bird Blood Spirit Body learns the great martial arts of Heaven.”
Bae Un-san was shocked once again.
Because he knew the great martial arts of Heaven that Won Pyeong-sam spoke of referred to demonic arts.
He had to stop this.
Haomun’s Grand Princess entering as a disciple into a faction related to the Demon Cult and learning demonic arts.
It might truly lead to Haomun’s destruction.
No, Haomun couldn’t be destroyed, but instead would scatter so thoroughly that traces would be hard to find.
“G-Grand Princess!”
Just as Bae Un-san was about to shout something.
Yeong So-hyang performed the disciple’s bow toward Won Pyeong-sam.
“Disciple Yeong So-hyang greets Master.”
“Good. Yes. Hahaha.”
At that sight, Won Pyeong-sam burst into delighted laughter.
Bae Un-san watched the scene with a soul-drained face.
Because now it couldn’t be stopped.
After finishing the disciple’s bow, Yeong So-hyang stood up and looked at Bae Un-san.
“I’m sorry, Sect Leader. Please expel me from Haomun. And officially convey that fact to the Four Seas Alliance as well.”
When Yeong So-hyang heard the realm called Transcending Demons.
She had intuited that Won Pyeong-sam was connected to demonic arts.
Yet the reason she decided to become his disciple.
Was just one thing.
Power.
Strength.
To obtain that.
Hadn’t she experienced all too painfully what happens to the weak in Gangho’s Murim last time?
“G-Grand Princess…”
Yeong So-hyang shook her head at Bae Un-san’s words.
“I am no longer the Grand Princess of Haomun. I am merely Master’s disciple.”
With that, she took out the Blood Sea Ghost Death Palm secret manual from her bosom and respectfully handed it to Bae Un-san.
This too was something Haomun had received from the Sahae Alliance.
So it had to be returned to Haomun.
Bae Un-san took the secret manual and gazed quietly at Yeong So-hyang.
“Hmm. I understand.”
“I always keep my promises. No, since you’ve allowed me to gain such an excellent disciple, I’ll give you even more. Hahaha.”
“This disciple will serve you.”
Yeong So-hyang bowed respectfully at the waist, and the two soon left Yegaru Pavilion.
***
Several days passed.
During that time, quite a few more cadets entered the Sword Qi Realm.
Cho Mu-ha was now also able to use sword qi naturally.
Ha Mu-baek had said he would have everyone enter the Sword Qi Realm.
But upon examination, this was the limit.
For now, no more cadets seemed capable of entering the Sword Qi Realm.
If there had been more time, perhaps.
But now there really wasn’t much time left.
The advanced Dongtu Festival was not far away.
Still, by next year, the remaining cadets would probably be able to barely emit sword qi.
The training matches stopped.
As Ha Mu-baek climbed onto the platform, the instructors also stepped back.
The cadets lined up in formation.
“You’ve followed along quite well.”
Ha Mu-baek smiled slightly.
“Then now it’s time to gradually wrap up this tedious training, don’t you think?”
The cadets stirred at Ha Mu-baek’s words.
Because of the word “wrap up.”
Only now did they recall the purpose of their training.
Why they had drunk that terrible medicinal brew and repeatedly endured terribly difficult training matches with instructors.
It was to face the jiangshi.
They had defeated the Death Jiangshi.
But the Poison Jiangshi and Blood Jiangshi they couldn’t defeat.
To fight and defeat those cursed demons.
Ha Mu-baek lightly flicked his finger.
Then.
Two Poison Jiangshi flew out from the supply wagon whose existence they had forgotten.
These two had been defeated by the Seventh Group cadets.
“First, you’ll face them without sword qi.”
Following Ha Mu-baek’s instruction, the Maengryong Corps cadets formed their formation.
