Chapter 29

Episode 29

I scratched the back of my head and opened my mouth.

“I’m sure you know everything about my actions since I left Guangxi.”

“You may not have done anything yourself. “If the forces behind you acted as previously discussed.”

“I swear, I am not a demon.”

“So, prove it.”

“How on earth are you supposed to prove it? “Is there any law in the world that requires a suspect to prove his or her innocence?”

“Don’t you think the circumstantial evidence is too clear to just dismiss it as a serious case?”

“You are speaking directly from your own mouth. “It’s heart disease.”

“Don’t hang around by the tail of your horse.”

A sigh came out of my mouth.

They probably wouldn’t believe me no matter what I said here.

“Isn’t the bottom line that you can’t trust me?”

“Yes.”

“Then what will you do? “There would be no one else to treat her but me.”

“I’ll have to catch you, detain you, and then negotiate separately with the Demon Cult leader.”

“Didn’t you say you were going to kill me earlier?”

“I would have told you not to hold your tongue and not hang around.”

Any further conversation was meaningless.

It was not that I did not know their position.

But there was no reason for me to sympathize with their situation.

There was even no need to show a cooperative attitude even at the expense of irrationality.

“If you say so, then do so.”

“what?”

“As you said, try to subdue me. “If I can.”

“If you say that, do you think we can’t do it?”

“yes.”

“......?”

The masked man’s eyes were grotesquely distorted.

I stood with my back against the wall with my arms crossed and smiled.

In fact, even though he was smiling on the outside, he was quite angry on the inside.

‘They say you have no regrets.’

I thought it was a good idea to have an escort with me.

If I had come here alone, I would have had to submit to their coercion.

I looked up at the ceiling and muttered.

“You can leave now.”

“i get it.”

Quang!

When the flow cloud body method reaches its polarity, it becomes possible to completely erase the presence of the caster.

There were few new methods that were as useful for tailing and infiltration.

What if the person practicing divine law is an absolute expert?

‘Even if he were a supreme expert, he wouldn’t be able to detect the target’s presence.’

Before coming here, I visited Dokgo Woojin and asked him to escort me to the amjung.

[Haomun?]

[Yes. I’ve been contacted by Haomun... I don’t have a good feeling.]

[So you’re asking me to secretly follow you and watch over you?]

[Yes. I’m sorry for dragging you into my student’s personal affairs.]

[Don’t worry about it. Since I have just learned the White Lightning God Art, I cannot demonstrate my skills, so it is natural for me to feel anxious. I will provide as much escort as I can.]

[Thank you.]

After hearing the general situation, Dokgo Woojin readily expressed his intention to accept and decided to follow along, observing the situation from a certain distance.

Quang!

And until now, no one has noticed the existence of Dokgo Woojin.

Even Haomun’s elites are well-versed in tailing, infiltration, and hiding.

“what!”

The faces of the people in black stiffened.

They were surprised to learn that someone unknown had been hiding all this time, deceiving their senses.

One side of the ceiling broke and debris fell down into the rainwater.

Then, a man glided through the air like a ghost.

‘......Neung-empty road?’

I couldn’t help but be a little surprised by this.

It was clearly empty space with nothing in it, but the sight of it sliding down smoothly as if it were on an slanted platform was just like a fairy tale in a story.

The man who landed on the ground without a sound looked around and asked.

In Moorim, strength is everything.

If I hadn’t felt anxious and asked Dokgo Woojin for help, things wouldn’t have turned out as easily as they did now.

I don’t know, but I’m sure you’ve gone through quite a bit of hardship.

Thinking like that made me even more excited.

“Don’t just say what you have to say.”

Finally, the black man’s eyes rolled back.

I shook my fist with a tired expression.

The tenacity of not letting out a single scream even before collapsing with foam at the mouth was worthy of recognition.

‘In the meantime, none of them have any changes in their expressions. No, is it true that I erased my expression?’

The rest of the people in black stared at the stunned man with emotionless faces.

The angry look that had been interrogating me until just now was nowhere to be seen.

‘Even that was a made-up feeling.’

I got a little goosebumps.

Humans are inherently strong against the weak and weak against the strong.

There are many people who can be calm when they are in the position of a predator.

But what about the other way around?

‘It’s a bit scary at this point.’

When the people in black showed their force, they all erased their expressions from their faces as if they had made a promise.

Since they were in the position of the prey, they actually hid their emotions.

It was by no means a natural reaction.

He had probably been trained since childhood to prepare for situations like the present.

‘Tsk, I don’t like it.’

Still, it would have been a warning.

I said, wiping the blood off my hands.

“When you return later, please tell Lord Moon this. “I will leave this matter as a debt.”

The situation was different from when the fight took place at Hwawollu.

At that time, I provoked them and led them to attack.

On the other hand, responsibility for this incident lay entirely with Hao Wen.

I was in a position where I had been falsely accused.

I couldn’t sleep because I felt so unfair without receiving compensation.

“.......”

There was no answer.

It wasn’t something I said hoping for an answer.

‘Of course, collecting the debt is only possible when the misunderstanding is resolved.’

I sat down on the chair again and looked down at the bed.

The way to resolve the misunderstanding was simple.

All I had to do was to completely cure the woman in front of me.

If they weren’t stupid, they would have known.

What is the Demon Cult’s aim?

The sect leader wants to demand something from Hao Wen by holding Hao Wen Zhou’s favorite disciple hostage.

But what if I heal her before the negotiations even get underway?

‘I show through my actions that the Demon Cult’s goals and my goals do not coincide.’

I picked up a book lying on the edge of the bed.

The words written on the cover caught my eye.

Taeeul Shin Gong (太乙神功).

It was a name that felt familiar to me.

One of the five martial arts books written by Ma Jyoju.

I turned the pages and skimmed through the contents.

A smile was drawn on my face as the content matched what I remembered.

‘where.’

After putting down the book, I grabbed the arm of the woman, who looked like a skinny old tree, and checked her pulse.

He closed his eyes and breathed in his energy to check the condition of the woman’s body.

‘But the blood vessels haven’t died yet.’

I nodded once and used my index finger to point out several acupuncture points.

Then the woman, whose shoulders were shaking, lifted her eyelids with difficulty.

“What are you doing!”

A cry of exasperation erupted from behind me, but I didn’t care.

This method of forcing the patient to become conscious came with quite a few side effects, but now was not the time to worry about such trivial matters.

Because mental illness cannot be overcome unless it is supported by the patient’s own will.

I looked straight into the woman’s eyes and said.

“I won’t be able to stay awake for very long, so I’ll tell you straight.”

“.......”

“From now on, I will lead the way. If you want to live, just keep praying. Don’t give up or lose consciousness along the way.”
