Chapter 94: Senior Brother, Dam Hyun (2)

Chapter 94: Senior Brother, Dam Hyun (2)

The name Dam Hyun called it by was Cheongho, which meant blue fox.

Her body was covered in blue, beautiful fur that glistened. However, moving around in a spirit form consumed a lot of spiritual energy. Last time, she used all her spiritual energy for the Three-Element Sacred Flower, a sort of gamble. Because of this, these days she spent more time sleeping than being awake.

But now, despite being awake, she didnt move.

This was because people who saw the wooden puppet move were either screaming in terror or trying to exorcise it. Of course, oddballs like the Forest Lord or Dam Hyun, who knew her situation, were different.

She had never expected this situation.

To meet Yi-gang here, of all places.

The despicable human who had snatched the root of the Three-Element Sacred Flower right before her.

Your name was Cheongho.

The moment she heard those words, she got goosebumps all over. The human in front of her was clearly seeing her form.

It was true, even Dam Hyun couldnt see her when she was in her spirit form, but Yi-gang could see her clearly even then.

What? You can see it! Dam Hyun exclaimed in surprise.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Cheongho was also very tense. If it was discovered that she had escaped the prison and was knocking children unconscious

The Taoists who came to interrogate him in Repentance Cave recently were completely fooled. They couldnt find any evidence and withdrew.

Ah, thats right.

Fortunately, Yi-gang was vague in his response instead of being specific.

At that moment of relief for Cheongho.

Yi-gang suddenly touched her belly.

Kiyak!

Dont touch her!

Dam Hyun shouted angrily, but it was futile.

Cheongho, feeling ticklish, jolted her body abruptly.

Wow!

Gasp!

Yu Su-rin and Jin Ri-yeon were both surprised and amazed.

Everyones attention turned to Cheongho, standing on two legs.

The puppet is moving!

Could this be that fox yokai!

It was a natural reaction. Dam Hyun wanted to hide Cheongho in his arms quickly, but he couldnt do so due to being pressed on the pressure point.

What are you doing, you wicked bastard!

Cheongho glared at Yi-gang, grinding her teeth.

You bastard, not only did you steal all the herb, but you also continue to torment me!

Cheongho showered Yi-gang with curses. It was her way of releasing all the pent-up anger she had accumulated.

Since there was no Soul Echo Board, it was unlikely that anyone could hear her words. Pouring out insults did give her some relief.

Yi-gang stared blankly at Cheongho and then muttered, So, you can speak this time.

Cheonghos legs gave out, and she collapsed.

Yi-gang could even hear Cheonghos voice. He couldnt understand it; last time, he surely couldnt hear her.

Ah, surely because you ate my root!

I ate it, but nothing really changed.

What? Such a waste on a fool who doesnt know its effects. The Three-Element Sacred Flower is, you see Huh?

Cheongho was startled mid-sentence. Yi-gang hadnt made a sound, yet she could understand his words.

It seems I can converse with you in the same way as with my ancestor.

Youre speaking? You can hear Cheonghos words!

Unable to hold back, Dam Hyun intervened. To an outsider, the conversation between Yi-gang and Cheongho seemed completely silent.

Yi-gang looked back and forth between Dam Hyun and Cheongho.

Who knows.

Who knows? Right, theres no way you can. Only those with a kind heart can see Cheongho. And hearing her voice is out of the question

Dam Hyun seemed to be visibly relieved. It appeared certain that he couldnt hear the words of the fox yokai.

Cheongho, feeling reassured, made a request.

Yeah, just stay quiet!

I can hear it. The voice of this fox.

You bad bastard!

No matter how much the fox cursed, it didnt affect Yi-gang.

He spoke to a shocked Dam Hyun.

Wh-what is she saying?

Shes asking Senior Brother to help me.

Cheongho is?



Who even made such distinctions? There are good yokai and evil spiritual beings.

So, you mean the fox is a good one.

Cheongho is a good child.

Dam Hyun said this with a pleased smile. He seemed unaware that the fox had been outside electrocuting children.

It couldnt be helped. And its an absolute secret.

So be it.

Yi-gang lost interest. It didnt matter to him as long as Dam Hyun was actively helping.

Dam Hyun stood up.

Its dry enough now, lets go inside.

They had been drying a large piece of paper outside the library. It was made of several sheets glued together with paste.

Yi-gang neatly rolled up the well-glued paper.

Why do we need this paper?

Ill explain, said Dam Hyun while munching on some sweets.

He had long been deprived of sweets and demanded them.

Sweet, so sweet.

Muttering so, he avidly chewed on the sweets, looking rather unsatisfied.

However, Yu Jeong-shin insisted that Dam Hyun was essential. Why though? Yi-gangs question was soon answered.

The problem started with the formation, Dam Hyun declared while crunching on the sweets.

Yu Jeong-shin quietly looked up at Dam Hyun.

Dam Hyun picked up a large brush and poked dots on the spread paper.

This is

Yang Spirit Lesser Heaven Formation, isnt it? It seems you have based the formation on that, right, Master?

Thats right. The Immortal Divine Swords spiritual energy is extraordinary, so I had to use such a formation.

Surprisingly, the dots he marked on the paper represented the symbols of the Nine Palaces, which constituted the formation of this place. Simply put, they were the central points.

Golden Needle Phantom expressed admiration. He also had knowledge about formations.

Wow. The formation was altered for Yi-gangs treatment, and youve grasped even that without missing a detail.

Although Golden Needle Phantom was just praising, Dam Hyuns expression turned cold.

Of course, I had to understand the changes thats where the problem is.

What is with this brat? Look at the way he talks.

Dont interrupt and just listen.

Golden Needle Phantom wasnt an easy-going person either. However, he softened his stance upon seeing Yu Jeong-shins earnest expression.

Dam Hyun had a natural talent for Qi Men Dun Jia and spirituals.

It makes sense to construct the formation centered around the Yang spirit. But

He brushed a point on the paper.

The spot where Yi-gang would lie, a pathway through which the Immortal Divine Swords spiritual energy would flow to Yi-gang.

The goal isnt simply to ascend the soul. Rather like this, with the soul at the center of Nine Palaces. Following the motion of the constellations

Dam Hyun continued his explanation, seemingly entranced.

His brush moved across the paper as if alive.

There was strength in the movement of his thin forearm, almost like a dance. His explanation was uninterrupted.

Yu Jeong-shin looked pleased yet bitter, while Golden Needle Phantom and Yi-gang were simply in awe.

Yu Jeong-shin interrupted Dam Hyun, who was explaining with fervor, Wait, so the reason for our failure last time was

Thats obvious.

Dam Hyun, about to chew on some more sweets, realized he had already finished them. He then stabbed the stick he was holding into the center of the paper.

We should have used Water Qi and Fire Qi to separate the soul. The problem starts with the mix of incense. Its too late to make it again, so we must replenish Water Qi in another way.

Dam Hyun stood up and approached the Heavenly God Candlestick. Only six candles with fire were left.

He boldly picked up one candle and approached the Immortal Divine Sword.

Yi-gang and his group followed Dam Hyun.

The hun is ready to ascend, but the po is still bound to the earth. Look.

The Immortal Divine Sword, staring blankly into space, appeared unresponsive to any commotion around him.

It was the moment Dam Hyun held up the candle from the Heavenly God Candlestick.

Swoosh

The gaze of the Immortal Divine Sword shifted downward, towards the candle.

Now is the last chance for the spirit to attain enlightenment, while it still retains some consciousness.

Dam Hyun declared confidently.

This time, we can truly succeed.

At that moment, everyone thought so.
