Chapter 168

I wasnt sure about it, but for him to be actually here.

It was something Seol Young only realized, but he was a bit confused.

Jeok Ryun and Mok Yun were walking around the tower in opposite directions. If they were heading towards the same place, they would have met.

But this was a different thing. It was a world created by them. So the two of them didnt meet for a long time.

To not find each other despite being this close

Hyo Wol sighed in shock.

But it is odd. Why is Leader Mok Yun like that? Unlike Jeok Ryun-rang

Because he isnt an evil spirit. But it wasnt that he stayed with people so he could suck away their life, so he ended up becoming weak over time.

Seol Young answered.

Mok Yuns spiritual body was weak since he had been walking around the tower for two hundred years.

It would have been difficult to find him if Seol Young hadnt had an impulsive thought and gone in the opposite direction.

It is amazing, what is left

Zaha carefully looked at Mok Yuns translucent appearance, as if he would disappear at any moment.

Stop for now.

Yes.

Seol Young approached him.

Following the things he had learned from the Tomb Ghosts, he intervened in Mok Yuns world as if he himself were a ghost.

Leader Mok Yun.

The man looked back at the voice that came suddenly, and this startled everyone.

Mok Yuns energy was so calm, just like his tablet. However, his face was so haggard that they couldnt make out his face, and they could only discern his eyes.

Why?

When they were still puzzled, a black tornado rose around the tower.

Where is Mok Yun?

Sounds of cursing, singing, and mad laughter ran out. They were eating away at Mok Yuns soul.

As he continued to circle the tower, the curses, and evil energy were pushing on him.

Then Seol Young urgently said,

Leader Mok Yun, we need to get you out of here first!

But the moment he got closer, sparks burst between the two of them because of the red line around Seol Youngs neck.

Because that line contained Jeok Ryuns killing intent, Mok Yun, with his weak soul, couldnt endure it.

Zaha glanced at Seol Young and said,

I will ask you one thing, but you arent connected with Jeok Ryuns soul now, right?

Yes.

Right. it was interesting to be afraid to lose your head

He aimed his sword at Seol Youngs neck.

Zahas qi and Jeok Ryuns collided with bursting sounds, and then the red mark around Seol Youngs neck pulled out. Then, strangely, it took on the shape of a lotus in the air.

Jeok Ryun finally couldnt put Seol Young down, and everyone was shocked.

Baek Eon asked,

How did you do that?

Well. Maybe I had come to understand Jeok Ryun-rangs feelings a little bit?

Zaha said while glaring at the red lotus in the air.

I wonder how a normal person can understand the mind of a madman I killed you because I loved you. We tied ourselves in karma so that we would not be separated forever.

He could now see what she was thinking about.

Seol Young asked,

And what could it be?

Isnt the root of madness that suddenly makes you kill people actually fear? You are afraid of someone leaving you. If I kill you, I can make sure you dont leave.

At the same time, his sword pierced the center of the red lotus, creating a golden wave.

[Ack!]

The lotus flower shattered with a sharp scream. Jeok Ryuns powerful attack was broken.

Seol Young felt relieved, as if he had been freed from shackles.

Actually, this is the one I believed in.

The three hyungs expressions also said, As expected and they looked at Zaha with shining eyes.

Song Ok said quickly,

Seol Young, try it again.

Yes.

Seol Young approached Mok Yuns faint soul.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

Leader, I want to help you. Tell us your story. Why have you been circling around this tower for two hundred years

Mok Yun, who was walking, looked back. He was too weak even to get a word out.

However, a haze rose around his spiritual body, as if he had the intention to show something.

Seol Young sent his spiritual power into the haze, and at that moment, the place around them changed.

Countless birds were flying.

[Wolves cannot become sheeps.]

It will be useless.

Seol Young said.

Being confined in his own world for two hundred years, even if we tell him it didnt work. He might have already realized it

Mok Yuns soul trembled He was getting weaker as he used his energy to show his memories.

I will end this for now.

Seol Young quickly cast a reverse spell. This was the method he used when he rescued Dohwa from the dice curse.

After casting it, the space in the spirit world increased.

Instead of forcibly pulling out Mok Yun and shocking his body, it felt right to make the tower move out of track.

Good.

Baek Eon, Song Ok, and Hyo Wol protected Mok Yuns soul.

As he got off the opposite path, Jeok Ryuns voice could be heard.

[Ahhh]

She was repeating the same thing as she was circling around the tower.

She lost her power after Zaha cut down the string, but she was still mad. She was deeply immersed in her own world, so no one could get close to her.

Seol Young looked back at Mok Yun.

Do you see that ahead? It is Jeok Ryun-rang.

However, there was no reaction. Hyo Wol looked at the two of them with a sad face.

Despite being right in front of each other, you cannot see each other. Is there any better way?

A better way

Zaha looked around, and so did Seol Young.

And then it occurred to them.

Not just Seol Young. But everyone had the same thought.

Hwa Un.

Hwa Un lowered his fan and watched everything without saying a word. He had a blank look on his face as if he were unable to understand, but when everyone looked at him, he came to his senses.

What?

Instead of answering, Seol Young asked the others,

Dont Leader Mok Yun and Hwa Un-rang look a bit similar?

Right. I can now see that they have a lot of similarities. Being kind and loving birds

Baek Eon added.

Strangely alike.

Without sharing blood.

The Vermillion Bird Troops also joined in. And feeling a bit embarrassed, Hwa Un opened his fan.

It is an honor to resemble him, and I respect him too

Come over here. We dont have time.

Then they pulled him closer.

Hwa Un-rang, you are our only hope. Make Jeok Ryun-rang see Mok Yuns soul.

How?

Cant we use that bet?

Seol Young said.

Just like how Leader Mok Yun fought her, you will block her with your fan.

Hwa Un looked at Jeok Ryun.

Seeing her still mumbling with her gray hair fluttering, his face turned blank, but he came to his senses as everyone looked at him.

I get it. I will try it out.

As he moved to the tower, Hwa Un called out,

Jeok Ryun-rang.

Jeok Ryun turned her head, and she immediately pounced on him in rage.

At that moment, Hwa Un moved his fan.

He gracefully dodged the attack of the red lotus and dug between the gaps to block her.

?

A strange emotion appeared on her face.

You?

It seemed as if she was asking that, and Hwa Un turned the fan at an odd angle.

It seemed like he was going to hit her, but then he changed his mind and threw an assassins needle in the air.

Jeok Ryun-rang, look there.

The silver needle shot out like snow and pointed in one direction. Mok Yuns faint soul was standing there.

Seol Young asked,

Do you know who that is?

Her gaze went there. At first, her eyes didnt seem to recognize who it was.

But then her gaze was nailed there, and her expression slowly changed. A look of shock flashed in her red eyes.
