52.

 

“Achoo!”

 

“…”

 

“Achoo! Cough! Hack! Hack! Achoo!”

 

Dangsoso sighed as she watched me sneeze and cough repeatedly.

 

“Hair dryer! Heater! Heat packs! Come out!”

 

“It would have been nice if Lady Peng’s nature was temperature like Master Ju.”

 

“Ugh.”

 

As Dangsoso said.

 

I had entered the late stage of Chojejung, but I was still far from controlling the temperature of my internal energy.

 

Viscosity. Lightning. Demonic energy.

 

The existing Little Heavenly Demon 3-piece set I had was just slightly enhanced.

 

Meanwhile, the nature Dangsoso possessed was poison, befitting a direct descendant of the Dang Family.

 

She could convert the internal energy gathered in her dantian into deadly poison, which was certainly a powerful attribute.

 

“Achoo!”

 

But it was completely useless in this situation.

 

I complained while shivering.

 

“Isn’t there a cave somewhere?”

 

“There’s no way such a thing would—”

 

Dangsoso, who had firmly dismissed my whining, hesitated.

 

“There is one?”

 

“Huh? Oh!”

 

My gaze turned in the same direction as Dangsoso’s.

 

Soon after.

 

“I found a cave!”

 

Dangsoso and I, shouting louder than a ginseng hunter who found wild ginseng, rushed into the cave in a hurry.

 

It was called a cave, but it was more like a hollowed-out rock, so we had to stick close together to barely hide our bodies.

 

Still, this was something.

 

Hidden under the rock, I took off Ju Sohui’s outer robe and wrung out the water.

 

“You’re splashing water.”

 

“Hey, Soso, you’re a gangsi so you’re not cold. The living person needs to survive.”

 

“How annoying.”

 

While I was at it, I decided to take off all my undergarments too.

 

“What are you doing right now?”

 

“Taking off clothes? You take yours off too, Soso.”

 

“Out here?”

 

“Wet clothes are cold and heavy.”

 

After thinking for a moment, Dangsoso said.

 

“That makes sense. Let’s take them off right away.”

 

As expected, my companion gangsi.

 

“Come to think of it, there’s no one watching anyway, so it should be fine to undress a bit.”

 

“That’s true~”

 

Having stripped down to our underwear, we wrung out the moisture from our clothes and spread them on the wall.

 

Since everything around was humid anyway, they’d still be damp, but it was better than being soaked and heavy with water.

 

And no matter what, we still wore our underwear even though it was soggy.

 

Being completely naked would be unsanitary.

 

“If we get infected, there’s no doctor.”

 

“I’m a corpse, so I don’t get sick.”

 

Dangsoso, who started being smug, pressed completely against me.

 

Cold.

 

It was too narrow to tell her to move away.

 

“Come to think of it.”

 

While I was nodding off despite the cold, Dangsoso suddenly spoke up.

 

“I’ve been to the Jinling Mountain Range quite a few times before.”

 

“Really? When?”

 

“As you can see, the mountain terrain is originally deep and treacherous, making it perfect for Sapa or Blood Sect groups to hide. The Immortal Witch’s secret vault was somewhere around here too.”

 

Unless someone had already looted it.

 

Dangsoso shrugged as she added that.

 

“But it’s probably unlikely. Honestly, even for the Blood Sect, if you get lost in a place like this, there’s no answer.”

 

“You don’t know the location either?”

 

“I think it was roughly in a cave around here. I just remembered and mentioned it.”

 

An interesting story.

 

Due to her cruelty, she couldn’t be included among the Ten Great Masters of the Martial World, but the publicly known Immortal Witch was a master of Talma level.

 

Talma meant at least mid-stage Hyeongyeong, making her equal to Cheonma among the Cheonha Ojeol. If she had fought one-on-one with Ju Sohui, the winner would probably have been the Immortal Witch.

 

‘A secret vault of such a peerless master.’

 

It would definitely be demonic arts, but it was quite tempting.

 

Moreover, the Immortal Witch was a master of gangsi arts surpassing Eon Yeonhyeok.

 

There would likely be plenty of opportunities in the secret vault, like elixirs to enhance Dangsoso or improve my internal energy.

 

“Try to remember in detail! Please?”

 

“Well. It’s been over seven years since I last came here. Hmm.”

 

Dangsoso fell into thought.

 

‘Wait, hold on.’

 

Seven years?

 

She came here seven years ago?

 

‘…Then Dangsoso was already in gangsi state seven years ago?’

 

Dangsoso’s apparent age was mid-teens, but that was only her appearance at the time of death.

 

A gangsi is a corpse.

 

Since they don’t age, no matter how much time passes, their face remains the same.

 

“Wait… Soso, then you’re over twenty-two years old?”

 

“I’m thinking right now, so be quiet. I’m a corpse, so my memory is bad.”

 

“Oh, r-right.”

 

Surely Dangsoso wasn’t over thirty like Yeonhwa.

 

As I shrank back slightly and waited with rolling eyes, Dangsoso reached out to feel the rock crevice we were leaning against.

 

Feeling around.

 

Moving her fingers along the crack, Dangsoso raised an eyebrow.

 

“Surprising.”

 

“Why?”

 

“The rock cave we found seems to be the Immortal Witch’s landmark.”

 

Swoosh.

 

Taking my hand, she explained.

 

“If you feel here, it’s drawing small patterns with a certain regularity. This is a mark the Immortal Witch used to favor.”

 

“Gasp, it’s real.”

 

There really was something there.

 

I felt around diligently as Dangsoso guided me and marveled.

 

“Even for a secret vault, if the owner is away for several years, it becomes quite difficult to find the way. So she created a map that only she could understand at regular intervals throughout the entire mountain range.”

 

Having said that, she puffed out her chest with a very proud expression.

 

“Ahem.”

 

“As expected of my companion gangsi! Our Soso is the best! Soso is amazing! I love Soso! I love Soso! My favorite Soso!”

 

“…”

 

Dangsoso kept her gaze fixed on a distant place with her usual pale face.

 

She seems a bit embarrassed now that I’ve set up the stage and praised her.

 

Anyway, she’s cute.

 

I tightly hugged Dangsoso who was staring blankly into the air.

 

“Since we’re lost anyway, let’s look for the secret vault when the rain stops! There might be clues about your past.”

 

“We might not find it.”

 

“Then that would be unfortunate.”

 

I’ve experienced being stranded on mountain paths many times anyway.

 

“But it’s good that we’re two instead of alone! We have someone to talk to. Hehe.”

 

What’s the most frightening thing about being stranded in the mountains?

 

For ordinary people, it would be survival, but for martial arts masters, it’s loneliness.

 

Try wandering the mountains alone for two whole months with no one to talk to.

 

I’m not joking – a person goes insane.

 

‘I’m lucky to have a companion Gangsi!’

 

She’s really so pretty I could die.

 

When I started rubbing against her frantically, Dangsoso was startled and threw a fit.

 

“Move away a bit.”

 

“Then do you want to go outside the cave, Soso? I can’t catch a cold.”

 

“I’ll just stay attached.”

 

“Yeah!”

 

The fifteenth night of being stranded comes to an end.

 

Finally, the sixteenth morning.

 

“The weather has cleared?”

 

The thunder, lightning, and heavy rain that had fallen during the night had stopped at some point.

 

Even though it had cleared, the muddy soil and fog covering the entire mountain range remained.

 

“Hmm.”

 

Meanwhile, Soso, who had woken up first, was dressed in her damp clothes and standing in front of the cave.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

I also hastily put on my clothes (damp) that were hanging in the rock crevices.

 

Ju Sohui’s wave-patterned robe was quite heavy, probably because it wasn’t fully dry.

 

“Yesterday I didn’t notice because the heavy rain blocked my vision, but I definitely feel a sense of déjà vu in this area.”

 

“Oh.”

 

So it really is around here?

 

My eyes sparkled.

 

“Finally, I’m getting a fortuitous encounter too!”

 

“What are you talking about when you’ve monopolized every fortuitous encounter in your life?”

 

“That’s true.”

 

Dangsoso right in front of me was also a tremendous fortuitous encounter.

 

I had quickly taken the lifework left behind by a transcendent master who had overcome demonic transformation.

 

“But I want more!”

 

Dangsoso cleanly ignored my greed and began examining the small cave.

 

Looking around.

 

Feeling around.

 

After continuing her strange searching behavior, she took a step back.

 

“Lady Peng.”

 

“Yeah?”

 

“This seems like an entrance.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Could that be possible?

 

While I was uncertain, I soon recalled the entrance to the Bloodline Mausoleum.

 

The Bloodline Mausoleum also looked like just an ordinary cliff from the outside. But inside was truly a massive mechanical formation.

 

In that case.

 

“Should I break it?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Click.

 

I stepped one foot back and placed my hand on the sword hilt.

 

Then.

 

Heavenly Demon Divine Thunder Sword Technique, Chapter 1.

 

Drawing the blade.

 

I drew my sword and simultaneously cut the cave’s inner wall. If beyond this cave was just ordinary rock, in the worst case, there could be a landslide.

 

But it wasn’t.

 

“Wow…!”

 

Beyond the pile of rocks that crumbled helplessly, a deep pit was revealed.

 

Wind blew from the bottomless black hole.

 

It was proof that air was circulating.

 

Whoosh.

 

Dangsoso and I naturally made eye contact without anyone saying anything.

 

“Should we jump?”

 

“Without even knowing how deep it is?”

 

I sheathed my sword again.

 

“Let’s do it right now.”
