82.

“Why is she in a place like this?”

His brow furrowed.

Though he had regained some of his former confidence through several months of leisurely travels in the martial world, the most shocking encounter of his life could not be easily forgotten.

Above all, having practiced the Ghost Path at Donghu, he had felt the gap in talent between himself and Dori even more acutely.

Though he hadn’t witnessed that woman’s training process, he’d heard that breaking through the Ghost Path happened not long after she came to the Eon Family.

Yet the ghostly energy he’d felt from Dori in the training hall that day was tremendous enough to rival his own.

Pure quantity of energy, not even martial arts.

In terms of that energy quantity, he who had faithfully accumulated energy for seventeen years had been caught up to by a girl of the same age in barely a month.

-Of course, this was because Dori was a cheating possessor. Unlike the Eon Family’s martial artists who had to completely rebuild their ghostly energy after breaking through the Ghost Path, Dori had used Pacheon Nakroe’s demonic energy to blast a highway through the Ghost Path, completing optimal foundation building.

However, for a boy who didn’t know such facts, it could only be a world-shattering shock.

Anyway.

“…What on earth is that condition?”

Eon Muhyeok’s tone, which had initially been merely uncomfortable irritation, became colored with bewilderment.

The Hyeolgangsi’s condition was far from normal.

Loss of right arm and left foot.

The right leg was bent in the reverse direction of the joint, and the purple robe embroidered with butterflies that symbolized the Sichuan Tang Family was naturally gone. Only the innermost white undergarment that had somehow not been swept away by water clung to her body.

If she were human, it would be a truly shocking sight.

However, even for a gangsi, such an undignified appearance couldn’t be pleasant to look at.

Eon Muhyeok, who had been educated since childhood to respect gangsi and corpses until his ears were worn out, felt instinctive revulsion.

“I thought Lady Peng cherished you quite a bit. Was she the type of woman to treat precious objects this way?”

The bond between Dori and the Hyeolgangsi from the Tang Family was much more affectionate than that between typical gangsi masters and their precious objects.

This was because she treated her more like a close friend rather than a subordinate precious object.

No matter how excellent a master’s character, few recognize precious objects as another independent entity. Though this was partly due to Dangsoso’s exceptional completeness, thanks to this, Dori’s evaluation within the Eon Family had risen another level.

The world’s one and only special beautiful girl Hyeolgangsi.

A peerless beauty and young lady of the Five Great Families who treasured her.

This was a winning combination.

Eon Muhyeok at that time had felt inferior even to such personal aspects of Dori. At the same time, he thought her even more remarkable.

But to neglect her own precious object in such a mess. Surely she could watch over where her precious object was through their connection. Why would she do such a thing-

“…Where is Lady Peng?”

A moment of ominous thought flashed through his mind.

Eon Muhyeok looked down at the fallen Dangsoso with a deliberately calm attitude.

Thud.

Dangsoso, who had been lying face down, turned her body over at Eon Muhyeok’s continued words.

It was exactly the same position as Dori rolling around in the main hall of the Eon Family day after day. Though only one of her four limbs – her left arm – was intact.

“I didn’t know she would act so irresponsibly.”

“…”

“Even animal corpses should be treated with proper courtesy. I’ll let it pass, but the Tang Family who entrusted your corpse might raise issues.”

“…”

“Is she nearby?”

Dangsoso didn’t answer a single word to the series of questions.

But that was enough.

Seeing her face, Eon Muhyeok opened and closed his mouth in shock.

In between, a surprisingly cold voice was heard.

“Regarding my master.”

It was a clear voice that wasn’t hoarse at all despite her wretched condition.

Naturally.

Having one’s voice become hoarse depending on condition is a privilege of the living. Gangsi, being corpses, maintain homeostasis at all times even if their bodies are broken and limbs severed.

“Don’t speak carelessly.”

Having snapped like that, Dangsoso fell silent again.

Eon Muhyeok looked down at such a Dangsoso and hesitated, then soon grabbed her shoulder and helped her sit up.

Though her body’s curves were fully revealed due to the wet undergarment, he felt no particular emotion. No matter how accustomed he was to gangsi, he wasn’t the type to feel bashfulness in front of corpses.

“At least cover yourself with this.”

Eon Muhyeok, who was taking off his robe to hand it over, paused.

Thinking about it, it would be quite difficult to receive and put on a robe with one arm.

He threaded the robe through Dangsoso’s intact left arm and covered the empty right shoulder with the fabric.

Even so, he still couldn’t believe it.

‘That woman really died?’

It didn’t make sense logically.

Of course, they say anything can happen in the martial world.

Including Dangsoso, that’s two Chojejung masters.

Moreover, the two were master and precious object, so they operated on a different level from ordinary partners. If luck and circumstances favored them, they had a high probability of gaining the upper hand in a fight against an early Huajing master.

For Dangsoso to become this tattered and Lady Peng to go missing in such circumstances.

Just what level of monster would they have had to encounter?

The martial world where orthodox faction families were more powerful than ever.

No matter how much of a Sapa faction, it would be difficult to easily touch Lady Peng who looked exactly like the Sword Master. Unless they were evil bastards like the Blood Sect or Makyō who acted recklessly without thought for tomorrow. Really-

Eon Muhyeok, who had intentionally cut off his thoughts, lifted up Dangsoso.

“Let me go.”

“I’m just trying to move you to a proper place.”

“I said let go.”

Immediately tremendous resistance followed.

At first glance, it was a much larger man and a small-framed girl, but the actual gap was between a mid-stage Jeoljeong boy and a late-stage Chojejung gangsi.

Naturally, Eon Muhyeok lost his grip on Dangsoso. She who had rolled around on the ground without batting an eye raised her upper body again.

Dangsoso’s condition after rolling around on the wet sand was beyond words.

Her originally long hair was cut crookedly at neck level.

Even when she was at the Eon Family, he never could have imagined that cold-faced gangsi would end up crawling on the ground in such a state.

Eon Muhyeok voiced the unbelievable doubt he couldn’t help but have.

“Is she dead?”

“…”

“She’s not dead, right? Lady Peng’s achievements are overwhelming even compared to non-peers. Unless it was a mid-to-late stage Geukma demon-“

“I don’t know!”

At Eon Muhyeok’s continued questions, Dangsoso covered one ear and shouted.

She couldn’t cover the other side because she had no arm.

A gangsi’s physical recovery depends entirely on the master’s internal energy.

Dori, who sucked in natural true energy like a vast ocean with Northern Enlightenment Skill, was the best lunch box for Dangsoso. With that lunch box now gone, there was no way to restore her missing parts.

Dangsoso buried her head and shouted.

“I don’t know! I said I don’t know! Whether Lady Peng is alive or not, I can’t tell either! I, I…!”

Rough breathing flowed from Dangsoso’s mouth after she said that much.

It wasn’t real breathing but merely a flow of air. Since gangsi have no respiratory organs, air that enters the mouth simply flows out again in its original atmospheric state.

Huff, huff.

Dangsoso, who had breathed air in and out of her mouth, soon stopped her heaving shoulders. This was unconscious fake breathing. She who normally didn’t breathe showed reflexive reactions like when she was human whenever she became greatly excited.

Dangsoso realized this trait of hers for the first time.

She had never been like this when with Cheonryun Sinmago. The same was true for when she was the real ‘Dangsoso’ that she couldn’t remember well.

There was only one person who had given her such intense memories of life.

She stood up unsteadily, gripping the rock. She wrapped energy around her missing left foot to create a temporary prosthetic.

Step.

…Squelch.

Footsteps with different weight were carved into the wet sand. Eon Muhyeok looked at the gangsi walking away with her back turned and asked in confusion.

“Where are you planning to go?”

“Who knows.”

A cynical tone returned.

Fine mud fell from Dangsoso’s hair as she turned her back.

“I don’t know either, stuff like that.”
