Book 2: Chapter 96: Blood! (1)

Again.

Chief Eunuch Wi closed his mouth after feeling Cales aura again.

This was also true for Elder Ho, who was facing that aura directly.

Seriously, this guy-

What kind of life must he have lived in order to release such an aura?

Would this be how it feels to meet the Emperor?

First.

Cale started to speak at that moment.

He was relaxed, unlike someone who dropped quite a bomb with his statements.

He spoke calmly.

First, please bring Sword Saint to me.

Elder Ho's eyes opened wide.

T, the Sword Saint?

Yes sir.

Elder Ho closed his mouth after seeing Cales gaze, which seemed to be asking if there was an issue.

There is a living jiangshi within the Namgung Clan but he wants me to bring the Sword Saint here right now?

How does that make any sense?

Umm, young master-nim Does the Sword Saint know about the l, living jiangshi?

He does not.

The Sword Saint did not know anything.

That extremely close-minded old man is going to find out about living jiangshis here?

Elder Ho's mind became chaotic.

If things went wrong, this place would turn into chaos.

He subconsciously started to speak.

Young master-nim, I should first report up-

Yeah. Let's inform the Martial Arts Alliance leader first.

It was obvious that the Sword Saint would deny the information about living jiangshis and the Blood Cult.

However, the Sword Saint would have no choice if the Martial Arts Alliance got involved.

It was at that moment.

Up?

Cale frowned.

He then casually commented.

"Who is above me?

His respectful speech instantly turned informal.

However, Elder Ho did not realize that.

Eek.

A new aura instantly filled the room as if the pressure until now had just been a joke.

Elder Ho felt as if he would be dominated by that pressure.

He clasped his shaking hands together and barely managed to raise his head to look at Cale.

Cale looked down at him as he spoke.

Chief Eunuch Wi.

However, he called out to Chief Eunuch Wi and not Elder Ho.

Yes, young master-nim.

"Who is above me?

Chief Eunuch Wi gulped.

This formidable pressure This aura

Someone who is above this young master in front of him

T, there are none, sir.

There was nobody.

He was not someone from this world ruled by the Emperor.

In fact, he might not even be human.

A mysterious existence

He was a messenger.

Your majesty-

Chief Eunuch Wi thought of the Emperors face, but he could not place the Emperor above Cale.

Cale was not someone who lived on the Emperors land and could leave at any moment.

There is nobody?

Elder Ho's eyes opened wide.

There is nobody above him?

How is that possible?

Wasn't this person a member of the Imperial family?

Doesnt everybody who lives here hold the Emperor above them?

Is this guy lying right now?

No.

Thats not possible.

He said he is Chief Eunuch Wi. He said he was the Chief Eunuch!

He was not certain about Noble Warrior Wi's identity, but the title of Chief Eunuch Wi made it clear that he was a member of the Eastern Depot.

The Eastern Depot's loyalty toward the Emperor was greater than any other organization.

Different from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Eastern Depot was an organization that you could only survive in with a high degree of loyalty.

But a member of the Eastern Depot just said that the Emperor is not above young master Kim.

In that case, who the hell was this person?

What was his identity?

He held a golden plaque that was only given to members of the Imperial bloodline.

Furthermore, his martial arts was at a level where even he, an Elder, felt suffocated by his aura alone.

In addition, he had a special ability and knew about the Blood Cult, something that even the Martial Arts Alliance did not notice.

Nothing, I really can't see anything about this person.

He could not even fathom a single thing about this person.

Sometimes, not knowing would bring an even greater sense of fear.

Maybe even more than the Blood Cult-

This guy might be even more fearsome of an existence.

Elder Ho had that thought for a moment.

It was at that moment.

Ah.

He gasped.

That suffocating aura had instantly disappeared.

The change had not even taken a few seconds.

Elder-nim, please think about it easily.

This person who could change the mood so easily

That person patted Elder Ho's shoulder as he spoke.

Please bring the Sword Saint. And once the conversation with the Sword Saint is over, immediately inform the Martial Arts Alliance, no, only inform the Gang Leader of the Beggars' Gang. We dont know if there is a spy from the Blood Cult within the Martial Arts Alliance. Do you understand?

There was only one answer Elder Ho could give.

Yes, young master-nim.

Pat pat.

Cale gently moved the hand away and smiled.

"This is great. Im glad we could come to an understanding.

Elder Ho just nodded his head without being able to look into Cales eyes.

I will be right back, sir.

He subconsciously bowed deeply and spoke to Cale as if he was a superior, and headed out the door.

He heard Cale's voice behind his back.

Ah.

His voice was still relaxed.

By the way, please do not tell the Sword Saint anything in advance. You need to bring him here without him knowing anything.

Y, yes sir!

Chhh.

Elder Ho opened the door.

He made eye contact with Noble Warrior Moan, who was standing in the hallway. That man smiled benignly.

Lets quickly get out of here.

Lets get out of this inn for now.

That was the thought that came to Elder Ho's mind.

Although he was acting as if this annoyed him, it felt like he had no choice but to do as he was told.

What is the reason?

Of course, Elder Ho did not know the reason. The Sword Saint had not told him.

That trash-like bastard!

The Sword Saint was internally grinding his teeth.

That punk Yoo Hak needs to be sent to closed door cultivation or something when we get back!

Namgung Tae Wi had told him about the incident Namgung Yoo Hak had caused in the inn after provoking the Dokgo Clan.

Namgung Yoo Hak claimed that he did no wrong, but a troublemaker at home would also be a troublemaker outside.

He messed with someone from the Imperial family?!

If Namgung Yoo Hak had not disrespected a member of the Imperial family, the Sword Saint would have no reason to go see this young master Kim.

Honestly speaking, he had considered ignoring Elder Ho when he showed up.

But I need to confirm the level of his martial arts.

Young master Kims level of martial arts that Namgung Yoo Hak told him about

Something seemed off about it.

Even the Carnage Demon had supposedly been quite shocked.

Tsk.

This was the reason that the Sword Saint could not stop walking, despite continuously clicking his tongue.

They shouldnt have let that punk Yoo Hak do whatever he wants growing up!

His son, the current patriarch of the Namgung Clan That bastard had let Namgung Yoo Hak do whatever he wanted because he was the youngest child.

I will need to set him straight!

How come such a trash came out of the Namgung bloodline?!

Rage filled the Sword Saints eyes.

However, his steps were not heavy as he walked toward the guest house.

I will just need to apologize.

Apologizing enough to not mess with the pride of the dignified Imperial family member would be enough.

Furthermore, it did not seem like that side wanted an excessive apology or compensation either.

That is probably why they want to see me alone.

They probably considered the Sword Saint's face and prepared a separate place to chat.

At least he knows the basics.

A slightly twisted smile appeared on his face.

Ah, you are here, sir.

Ron, who was standing outside the guest house, greeted Elder Ho.

Hello, Senior Sword Saint.

The Sword Saint peeked at Ron, who gently greeted him, and slightly nodded his head.

Why is this old man accepting a greeting so well like this? This is not like him.

Elder Ho was just confused by the situation because he didnt know of the incident with Namgung Yoo Hak.

Please come in.

Ron pushed the door open.

Clunk.

The young master-nim is inside.

It was at that moment.

Oooooong oooooong

There was a large fluctuation.

Elder Ho, the Sword Saint

The two of their eyes opened wide.

They were unable to hide their shocks as they looked toward something.

At that moment

Baaaaang!

There was a loud explosion.

The left wall of the guest house crumbled.

This aura-!

The Sword Saint's complexion instantly changed.

He moved toward the location of the noise.

How could there be such a strong aura!

The large aura that had appeared with the fluctuation just now

One of the guest house's walls had crumbled after that aura was felt.

It was extremely pure and noble.

This was definitely someone's internal ki.

Who has such a pure internal ki?

That aura was even stronger than the Sword Saints own aura.

He gulped.

As a top expert of the Orthodox faction and one of the leaders of the current generation, the Sword Saint could not help but walk faster after feeling an aura strong enough to suppress him.

.

Beyond the crumbled wall

The dust clouds were starting to settle.

And beyond that

He could slowly start to see inside.

There was an old man standing there.

That old man was looking down at his hands.

It was this guy.

The Sword Saint could tell that this old man was the one who had broken the wall.

You-

The Sword Saint's heart started beating fast.

Experts recognized other experts.

He had never seen this old mans face before.

However, he was certain that this was an expert of the past generation or an eccentric living in hiding.

Who are you?

Are you talking to me?

The Fist King brushed his hands off and calmly responded.

He didn't seem like someone who just broke a wall.

No, he seemed quite calm unlike someone who had just gotten beyond a wall and reached a new level in his martial arts.

Mok Hyeon.

Mok Hyeon?

The Sword Saint was not familiar with this name.

No.

He remembered it.

When he was young

Before he even entered the Martial Arts world

That was the name of the top expert who could freely roam around the Martial Arts world.

Fist King Mok Hyeon!

The Sword Saint's eyes opened wide.

The Fist King was with the Imperial family!

And his realm is beyond my own!

It was at that moment.

Why would you break the wall? The owner of the inn is going to be very upset.

He heard someone elses voice.

The Sword Saint looked toward the sound of the voice.

Young master Kim.

It was that person.

The Sword Saint then saw it.

He also heard it.

Young master Kim.

Fist King Mok Hyeon bowed.

Thank you for the lesson.

He saw the Fist King thank young master Kim with full sincerity.

He looked like someone who was speaking to his master or an extremely senior person in the Martial Arts world.
