Chapter 478. Hey, Wait!

 

 

Won Pyeong-sam spread his Ki Sense as widely as possible.

He moved downstream along the river.

The energy he was searching for was naturally Manhwang’s energy.

Manhwang was divided into eight pieces, called the Eight Fragments of Manhwang.

Eight energies standing opposite to the Primordial Six Divine Techniques torn into six.

Won Pyeong-sam naturally knew what those eight energies were.

Thanks to the teachings personally bestowed by the Demon Lord.

The energy Won Pyeong-sam felt from the remnants of Manhwang left in the Dark Cave.

There was no need to go that far.

Poison Well.

Yeo Hong-gi, the lord of Cheondok Valley, had said.

He called him the Master of Poison Palace.

If it was an energy among Manhwang that dealt with poison.

‘The energy of Tae among Manhwang.’

He was moving really slowly while searching for that energy.

Even after moving for five days.

He hadn’t traveled much distance.

Yeong So-hyang quietly followed behind him.

Today too, Won Pyeong-sam was still walking slowly with concentrated focus.

If he couldn’t sense Tae’s energy.

He had to at least find a place that Tae’s energy would favor.

It was said that fragments of Manhwang favored places that harmonized with their respective energies.

The one who obtained Manhuang Tae might have instinctively sought such a place in a life-or-death situation.

How long had he walked like that.

Won Pyeong-sam stopped walking and looked toward the East Side.

Yeong So-hyang swallowed dry saliva at Master’s sudden movement.

Along with the thought that he had finally found what he was looking for.

Won Pyeong-sam tilted his head while looking toward the East Side.

From far in the East Side.

He felt as if Manhwang’s energy was emanating.

It wasn’t Tae’s energy.

Because it was too far, he couldn’t specify which of the eight fragments it was.

But an energy that seemed to be Manhwang appeared to rise up and then faded away and disappeared.

“Hmm.”

Won Pyeong-sam let out a contemplative sound.

‘How can such a thing happen?’

He hadn’t sensed it wrong.

It was definitely Manhwang’s energy.

But for it to rise up and then fade away.

He stared intently toward the East Side.

‘I should go check that place too.’

Because it was too far away.

It was energy he absolutely couldn’t sense with his abilities.

But he could sense it because it was Manhwang’s energy.

And because it had just risen up.

Won Pyeong-sam turned his gaze again.

The river flowing from the Canyon was still rough and fierce.

It was Rapids that someone swept away could never easily escape from.

Nevertheless, he had to search step by step.

Because Manhwang was that kind of power.

How long had he walked again like that.

Won Pyeong-sam stopped again.

And stared at a patch of Ground.

“What’s wrong?”

This time Yeong So-hyang asked cautiously.

“Though faint, I can sense remnants of Manhwang from that place. It seems energy was gathered here.”

It was still a place where fierce Rapids flowed making loud noises.

Water currents that someone with serious injuries could never escape from with their own strength.

Surely Manhwang’s power had been at work.

It was remnants he could barely find by putting all his effort into Ki Sense.

Once he recognized Manhwang’s remnants, it became easy after that.

Because he could see the path of movement.

Like that.

He slowly moved forward.

Dense Forest appeared.

In the depths.

A terrain where a fairly large Neup was situated with numerous small Cave Chambers gathered around it.

It was a mysterious terrain that couldn’t be created even if someone tried to make it on purpose.

At the same time.

‘This is a place Manhuang Tae would favor.’

He could tell at first sight.

That someone was definitely refining their energy in This Place.

Won Pyeong-sam headed straight toward one of the many caves.

It was a place where Manhwang’s energy could be felt.

“Are you inside?”

Won Pyeong-sam asked in a calm voice from the Entrance.

However, there was no answer from inside.

“I know you’re there.”

At his continued words.

Kwaaaaang!

Tremendous energy poured out from the Cave.

Won Pyeong-sam’s eyes widened as he spread both palms and unleashed Palm Force with full power.

Kwaaaang!

With a loud explosion, the Cave shook.

Thud thud thud.

Stone dust fell.

Won Pyeong-sam remained standing in place.

Yeong So-hyang’s eyes widened.

It was the first time she had properly seen Master’s skills.

‘He’s strong.’

She had known when she felt Master’s Qi Energy.

But actually seeing it like this was different.

“Who are you?”

A voice filled with wariness burst out.

“Are you the Master of Poison Palace?”

Won Pyeong-sam asked calmly.

“I asked who you are!”

From deep inside the cave, a powerful aura could be felt rising again.

“Won Pyeong-sam. I have come from the great Heaven seeking the aura of Manhwang.”

Flinch.

The aura could be felt wavering.

He had reacted to the word Manhwang.

‘As expected, he knows the power he possesses.’

It had to be so.

At Manhwang’s candle in Heaven.

Manhwang’s flame had been lit.

That meant he had properly awakened Manhwang’s power.

“Have you met Narak?”

“Wh, who are you?”

It was the same question, but different from before.

His voice was trembling as it came out.

“I’m going in.”

Step. Step.

Won Pyeong-sam walked into the cave.

At his confident appearance, Yeong So-hyang carefully followed behind.

 

***

 

It was time for dawn to break.

Considering winter’s late sunrise.

It was now fully morning.

Flame Evil Hwa Yu-gun was holding a thousand-li black hawk sent from Ryeon.

It was one that had flown at full speed and just landed in his hand.

“What’s going on?”

Since it was clearly an urgent report among urgent reports.

Hwa Yu-gun, filled with curiosity, opened the message tube from the thousand-li black hawk’s leg and took out the letter.

The contents written were.

“Hmm…”

Hwa Yu-gun let out a groan.

“The situation has ended, so return immediately?”

Hwa Yu-gun’s gaze turned to the opposite side.

Where countless barracks and the Jeongcheon Alliance’s flags were fluttering.

The enemy’s camp.

They had been facing each other and only engaging in battles of will until now.

Now the situation was over.

“How disappointing.”

He was sincere.

After the Great Murim War ended.

There hadn’t been any notable battles.

He had been feeling bored without realizing it.

Yeom-sa (Flame Evil).

There was a reason why ‘Evil’ was included in his title.

“That level would have been worth trying though.”

He smacked his lips.

He had been crouching only because he received orders not to attack first under any circumstances.

More precisely, he had been gently provoking the enemies.

To make them attack first.

The bottom of their patience was gradually being revealed.

But now to return.

“Since they say the matter in Sanwol Demon Forest is finished, I should go.”

Hwa Yu-gun muttered to himself.

Though he enjoyed battle, he wasn’t someone with a stupid head.

Rather, he was smart.

More precisely, he was cunning.

That’s why.

Mun In-baek-song had recommended him.

Both when sending people to Haomun and when entrusting this front line to him.

‘The incident in Sanwol Demon Forest seemed quite serious, but it was resolved this quickly…’

Hwa Yu-gun turned his gaze but couldn’t shake off the doubts in his head.

This expedition was truly a great decision from the Sahae Alliance’s standpoint.

Based on the expectation that the Jeongcheon Alliance’s forces would be divided for a while due to the incident in Sanwol Demon Forest.

But.

For that matter to be resolved so quickly.

“Could it be that guy?”

Hwa Yu-gun suddenly thought of a certain man and muttered.

During the Great Murim War.

On battlefields where unexpected results occurred, that bastard Ha Mu-baek was always there.

“I should wrap up quickly and leave.”

Thinking of that guy made his regret completely disappear.

If he lingered here for no reason.

And that guy who settled Sanwol Demon Forest appeared at this front line?

He didn’t even want to think about it.

 

***

 

The sun rose.

So Hwi-ung came out of the barracks.

The place he headed to was where they had collected the corpses the day before.

He examined each of their faces one by one.

These people.

It was decided that they would all be transported to the Alliance.

To pressure those bastards, Yang Bi-chang’s testimony alone was insufficient.

Such clear evidence was needed.

It was Gongsun Dan-gyeong’s opinion.

Since they were disciples from various sects.

It was perfect for pressuring the Righteous Path Alliance.

Not just pressuring Gongdong Sect and Yeonja Mirror.

“Mu-heun.”

“Yes.”

“We need to make some preparations.”

“Understood.”

Moving this amount of corpses was no ordinary task.

They also had to arrange transportation.

They had to plan the main road.

Plus countermeasures against decay.

So Hwi-ung cast his gaze toward Han Seol-bing.

Recalling how she had frozen the Myeolcheon Gangsi, asking Ha Mu-baek would be the most reliable method, but.

That bastard wasn’t the type to grant such requests.

It seemed better to ask Han Seol-bing, who used ice arts.

At least the Alliance Leader’s influence worked on her.

“Vice Commander Han Seol-bing.”

“Yes, Alliance Leader.”

“When these corpses are collected in coffins, please freeze them with your ice arts. So they stay frozen as long as possible.”

“Ah…! Understood.”

Han Seol-bing, who realized the decision about the corpses from So Hwi-ung’s instructions, answered.

Ha Mu-baek frowned.

“We should just burn all those things…”

“Burning down the Blood Cult’s hideout completely was enough. You don’t know how much Strategist Gongsun regretted it when he heard that news.”

So Hwi-ung hadn’t expected to feel emotion from handwriting.

Since Gongsun Dan-gyeong’s regret and irritation could be felt from his writing when he mentioned that part.

“What’s the big deal about burning down some place like that…”

“It is a big deal. Who knows what kind of information and documents were there.”

At So Hwi-ung’s answer.

Ha Mu-baek.

“How much could there be in a place where they lived hiding like moles.”

He grumbled like that.

At the time, he was swept up in anger and couldn’t think properly.

But hearing it now, it made sense.

The thought occurred to him that there might have been information about remaining remnants outside.

“Next time, think about our Strategist Gongsun in such situations, Mu-baek.”

So Hwi-ung, observing Ha Mu-baek’s expression, chuckled and said.

“I’ll consider it.”

He didn’t refuse.

 

While the two were conversing.

Dam Mu-heun moved quickly.

Leaving only three Hocheon Corps members behind to guard the Alliance Leader.

He mobilized the Bongma Corps, Maengryong Corps, and even the Gyoryong Hall cadets who had come out for practical training.

When Ha Mu-baek’s gaze fell there.

“Hey, wait a minute!”

He called out to stop Dam Mu-heun.

“Yes? What’s the matter?”

“You. What are you doing?”

“I’m carrying out the Alliance Leader’s orders.”

“That’s what I’m saying, but why are you taking our kids?”

Ha Mu-baek’s gaze was directed at the Maengryong Corps.

“Well…”

He was about to answer that it was natural since he was carrying out the Alliance Leader’s orders.

But Dam Mu-heun stopped speaking.

It was a sight, a scene he had witnessed before.

During the height of the war.

Right.

When an elder from one of the Orthodox Alliance sects tried to order around Hocheon Corps members.

Ha Mu-baek had stepped forward like this then too.

It wasn’t even for personal use at the time.

It was for Alliance business.

Yet Ha Mu-baek still stepped forward.

What are you doing with our kids.

When told it was Alliance business, he said deciding what to do with the kids was the Dan-ju’s job.

Even if the Alliance Leader came, it wouldn’t be allowed.

That’s what he had said.

Actually, it was nonsensical.

The Hocheon Corps’ position itself was directly under the Alliance Leader, yet saying even the Alliance Leader couldn’t do it.

Dam Mu-heun, recalling that incident, looked at Ha Mu-baek with an expression full of disappointment and said.

“Wow. Dan-ju. Now that you’ve become Corps Leader, I’m not ‘our kids’ but ‘your kids.’ Only the Maengryong Corps are ‘our kids,’ is that it?”

Ha Mu-baek chuckled at Dam Mu-heun’s grumbling.

“You know well. But our kid is helping you guys.”

He pointed to Han Seol-bing as he said this.

The Alliance Leader had definitely asked her to freeze the corpses with ice arts.

Dam Mu-heun glanced at Han Seol-bing.

Looked back at Ha Mu-baek.

Even glanced at the Alliance Leader.

“Phew.”

He let out a deep sigh.

“Maengryong Corps, fall back over there.”

He gave that order.

Making such a statement beside So Hwi-ung meant

he wouldn’t even mind the Alliance Leader’s reaction.

So Hwi-ung didn’t particularly stop him either.

The new Maengryong Corps immediately moved toward Ha Mu-baek.

The existing Maengryong Corps read the situation.

They had heard that Ha Mu-baek was the Corps Leader.

But hadn’t they always moved together with the Bongma Corps until now?

Suddenly faced with this situation, they didn’t know what to do.

“Are you guys Bongma Corps instead of Maengryong Corps? Come here!”

At Ha Mu-baek’s firm words, Yu Gwi-gwang slowly moved, and only then did the rest of the Maengryong Corps move to where Ha Mu-baek was.
