Book 2: Chapter 117: I know who you are (4)
The Alliance leader looked at the teacup in his hand.
Clack.
The teacup stopped shaking.
He had not even realized that his hand was shaking.
What is going on?
He could see the reflection of his face in the tea.
His eyes were wide open and he had cold sweat on his forehead.
His face was feeling anxiety, no, fear at this situation he had never faced before.
Yes, he, the Alliance leader, was currently scared.
Just what exactly-
He needed time to comprehend what just happened to him.
Of course, it didnt matter that the time for it was short.
Just a few seconds That instant was enough.
First
This young master Kim
We cant have you treating your guests like this.
When he had heard that, he thought that even this young master Kim could not hide that snobby disposition of the Imperial family members.
At the same time, it made him confused as to how the Namgung Clan, people who were said to be almost as snobby as the Imperial family, especially the stubborn Sword Saint, bowed toward this guy.
It was at that moment.
An intense aura had suffocated him.
There wasnt a way to describe it.
He had been enjoying using his internal ki to scope out the other person's level ever since he gained a significant amount of internal ki.New novel chapters are published on
During those times, the other person sometimes used their internal ki to resist him.
However, nobody was able to defeat his internal ki.
OF course, he had never had a chance to test it out with the Heavenly Demon or the Divergent Coalition's leader, but even the Sword Saint was not at his level when it came to just the level of internal ki.
Later on, those so-called experts started stealthily avoiding his internal ki tests. Their pride would be hurt whenever they faced it.
That was why the Alliance leader only continued the test with his subordinates and the young rising stars.
There was no easier way to figure out a person's plate.
As Chief Advisor Zhuge Mi Ryeo mentioned, this was his ill-mannered hobby.
But this was not at the level of a hobby.
Ko Seh Bum had subconsciously channeled his internal ki to resist against that strong aura.
However, his internal ki was unable to grasp it.
That aura was not internal ki.
He could tell because he was an internal ki expert.
That strong aura was the movement of something like the air that fills this room.
Nature, an aura filled with the power of nature, had suppressed him. It was demanding that he immediately lower his head.
However, the Alliance leader lived up to his name as the leader and barely managed to keep his head from bowing.
Haaa-
He was able to finally figure out who was using this aura like internal ki as a deep sigh left his mouth.
Unfortunately, he was unable to continue his thoughts.
The strong aura that had been suffocating became even stronger and dominated him.
Clack.
The moment his hand that was holding the teacup started shaking Ko Seh Bum was able to come back to his senses.
He finally learned what it felt like to be dominated by someone.
At the same time, he realized that those tests he had been conducting with internal ki truly were a terrible hobby of an extremely ill-mannered person.
The real thing was different.
No matter how strong people got, they could not stop an approaching storm.
Even the Emperor could not get rid of a storm pulling up the wheats filling up the autumn fields.
I-
In front of young master Kim, I am simply like a stalk of wheat being broken by a storm.
However, young master Kim's aura was different from a storm.
It did not cause a strong wind, make a sharp noise, or make everything around them loud.
It just silently
Suppressed everything.
Alliance leader-nim.
He heard a lighthearted voice through the silence.
As if he was the sun shining down from the clear sky after a storm
Young master Kim Hae-il started speaking.
How long will you keep a guest standing?
Ko Seh Bum felt his lips going dry and tried to use his tongue to wet them. However, he realized that the inside of his mouth was completely dry as well and could not do anything.
I need to look.
He needed to look at young master Kim.
But why was that so scary to do?
Ko Seh Bum had become the Alliance leader despite not being from a large clan or school. He was a genius among geniuses.
However, he was just a person in the secular world who had never faced a heaven above the heavens before.
Huuuuuu.
He let out a deep sigh.
He then took a sip of tea. The tea was no longer hot, but he was thankful for it.
He put the teacup down.
I made a mistake.
Young master Kim. He had made quite a serious mistake about this person.
To send his internal ki out toward such a strong individual
He was embarrassed and thought that he was quite foolish.
That must be why this person sent him a warning.
Do you know why I came here?
The Alliance leader could not answer that question.
He did not know why young master Kim was visiting the Martial Arts Alliance.
However, he could not easily answer that he did not know.
He is a member of the Imperial family and in the Nature Realm.
Ko Seh Bum finally snapped to his senses.
He was starting to understand the situation.
Young master Kim was not a lowly collateral line member of the Imperial family who was no threat to the Emperor; he was the Imperial family's hidden sword.
His forehead filled with cold sweats for a different reason once he figured that out.
Zhuge Mi Ryeo was heading toward Ko Seh Bum and Cale.
Ko Seh Bum noticed and opened his mouth.
I do not, sir.
He was speaking formally now but nobody talked about that.
He should be quite old since he has reached the Nature Realm.
Ko Seh Bum thought Cale was a hidden reclusive expert who was from an older generation.
Yes. I'm sure you dont. I asked Elder Ho-nim to not tell you much.
May we hear the reason now, sir?
Zhuge Mi Ryeo cautiously asked.
Cale looked toward her.
Zhuge Mi Ryeo flinched at his nonchalant gaze. His eyes reminded her of windows that could look into anything.
Chief Advisor-nim.
Yes, young master-nim.
May I conduct a test first?
Test.
That word made both Zhuge Mi Ryeo and the Alliance leader scowl a bit.
Their test must have angered this expert in front of them.
Yes. Our side caused the issue so I should step up.
Zhuge Mi Ryeo made up her mind and responded.
Yes sir. We are ready for any test you may give us.
Chief Eunuch Wi and the Fist King quietly gasped in admiration at her calm tone.
Although her martial arts abilities were the lowest in the room, her mind was calm even as she stood in front of someone in the Nature Realm.
As people had their thoughts about Zhuge Mi Ryeo
Cale nonchalantly commented.
The Blood Demon is a motherfucking son of a bitch. The damn bastard deserves to be pummeled to death.
.
Zhuge Mi Ryeo was silent for a moment.
Excuse me?
She then blankly asked back.
Cale didn't care and continued in a serious voice.
Please repeat what I just said.
Cale was thinking that the Chief Advisor was not a spy from the Blood Cult. However, with Zhuge Eun So being a living jiangshi, he needed to confirm things with the people of the Zhuge Clan at least once.
"Ah, did you forget? Let me say it again.
Cale said the sentences for the blankly standing Zhuge Mi Ryeo one more time.
The Blood Demon is a motherfucking son of a bitch. The damn bastard deserves to be pummeled to death. He is a trashy bastard. Easy, isnt it? Please say it.
"Excuse me?
Zhuge Mi Ryeo asked once again, the Alliance leader looked anxious, and Elder Ho looked as if he didnt know what to do, when
Alliance leader-nim!
Someone urgently entered the fifth floor.
As Cale looked toward the person who seemed to have quite a high position
Young master-nim, that person is the Mount Hua Sects Kang Ko Hee, the leader of the Justice Corps, one of the Martial Arts Alliance's core troops.
Chief Eunuch Wi informed him about the person through sound transmission.
Kang Ko Hee. She looked at Cales group and flinched but continued speaking.
The Embroidered Uniform Guard is heading toward the Martial Arts Alliance! What could be going on? Why are they suddenly here-
Her voice slowly trailed off.
The Chief Advisor, Alliance leader, and Elder Ho The people she was familiar with were all looking at the same person.
Cale received their gazes and looked out the window.
Warriors in red were approaching the gates of the Martial Arts Alliance.
They were the members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Cale looked stupefied.
Human! So many of them are coming!
I know, right?
The red clothes of the Embroidered Uniform Guard members fluttered in the wind as they walked past the Wuhan gate and fiercely approached the Martial Arts Alliance.
Ahem.
Cale subconsciously commented after seeing all of the gazes on him.
I think they are here to see me.
He then awkwardly smiled.
Of course, he urged Zhuge Mi Ryeo once more.
Please do it.
The moment Zhuge Mi Ryeo said all those things about the Blood Demon was when Cale shared the reason for his visit.
The Blood Cult, living jiangshis, the Great War of the Triumvirate Everything was shared with the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance and his right arm.
That was the moment the Embroidered Uniform Guard stopped in front of the gate to the Martial Arts Alliance and announced that they were there to escort Cale.
