Book 2: Chapter 173: Hae-il (8)

Book 2: Chapter 173: Hae-il (8)

Cale thought that he should first clean up the area.

There is nobody higher in rank than you here, right?

Y, yeah! There isnt!

Hoya eagerly answered. He ignored Yoons sharp gaze.

I didnt even feel this way while looking at the Blood Demon.

Kim Hae-il. Hoya thought that he would die as soon as this persons gaze landed on him.

These people also knew about the Hunters and the Blue Bloods.

They might be those people.

He recalled the words that his father, a core executive of the Blood Cult, told him.

That person was someone who provided information to Hoya, dreaming of having power in the future.

One of the Hunter houses has perished.

The Black Bloods household. Apparently they were destroyed. A group of people were responsible for it.

He heard that it was difficult for the Hunters to even approach that Xiaolen planet now.

Kim Hae-il. He might be that group.

Although Hoya liked to laugh, he might be even more shrewd than Yoon.

Most important thing is to survive.

He gulped and awkwardly smiled toward young master Kim Hae-il. This expression was planned.

He was purposely showing that he was shaking in fear.

He really was scared.

.

Kim Hae-ils head tilted to one side.

As Hoya was about to get tense Cale nonchalantly commented.

Youre talking so informally to me.

Holy flinched before avoiding his gaze and responding.

I, Im sorry, sir.

Pfft.

He could hear Yoons sneering.

Whats so funny?

Young master Kim asked Yoon and

Im sorry, sir.

Yoon took a deep breath and barely managed to apologize.

However, Hoya could not sneer back at her. Young master Kim Hae-ils aura was too overbearing.

Cale looked away from the now quiet young Blood Demon candidates and addressed someone who walked up.

Please take care of things around here.

Yes, young master-nim.

Chief Eunuch Wi cautiously answered. He let out a deep breath after seeing Cale walk away with his people and the two young Blood Demon candidates.

What a relief.

He was relieved that young master Kim-nim was someone who would leave soon.

This was the first time he had such a thought.

He was truly touched and full of respect for young master Kim until now because of his personality, strength, and accomplishments throughout the Central Plains.

However, after seeing the tsunami he created today Chief Eunuch Wis thoughts had changed.

It is clear that the Imperial family would lose their power if the young master-nim was a person of this world.

The Emperors authority could not be greater than a natural disaster.

He peeked to the side. The Fist King, who was standing a bit away, had a stiff look on his face as well.

He arrived a bit later to Yunnan with a few members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. The first thing he saw had been Cales tsunami.

The Fist Kings complexion was more serious than ever before.

However, he smiled as soon as he made eye contact with Chief Eunuch Wi.

He was probably having the same thought as Chief Eunuch Wi.

Its a relief that young master Kim-nim is someone who will eventually leave.

And

Its also a relief that someone like young master Kim-nim showed up.

Kim Hae-il was a person with no desire for power, fame, or greed.

All he cared about was saving this world.

How great of a relief was that?

I will need to report what happened today.

Chief Eunuch Wi sighed.

His Majesty is wise so Im certain he will not have any useless thoughts.

He was relieved that the Emperor was the current Emperor.

The former Emperor would have been full of fear and jealousy that he would have tried to get rid of young master Kim.

That would have resulted in his death.

Young master Kim might have shown him mercy, but his people, who were stronger than they could have ever imagined, would be merciless and take away his life.

Huuuuuu.

He sighed, looked around, and started speaking.

I guess we have to find that traitor, the Yunnan Castle Lord first.

The Triumvirate. The martial artists of each major force were already taking care of the remnants of the Blood Cult.

Furthermore, some of the mid-level people in charge were approaching Chief Eunuch Wi. It was probably to ask him what to do from here.

Ha.

Chief Eunuch Wi almost laughed in response.

This was so surprising, the more he thought about it.

The Triumvirate. There were no fights despite extremely strong individuals from all three major forces gathered together. They were taking care of things in an efficient and orderly fashion.

This is all thanks to young master Kim-nim.

No, it was because they had already faced his strength.

Forget martial artists, any human would not be able to have any scheming thoughts in front of such a phenomenal sight and would simply feel pride for being able to be a part of this.

Furthermore, for the people who wanted revenge, young master Kim was the future and their hope.

I will follow behind young master Kim.

Yes, Senior.

Once even the Fist King left, Chief Eunuch Wi had the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Eastern Depot, and martial artist move to free the soldiers and administrators imprisoned in Yunnan Castle before taking care of the other issues.

Of course, he did all this after making sure to first send a message to the Imperial Palace about what happened today.

* * *

So-

Cale was leaning on the Yunnan Castle Lords usual seat.

Nobody tried to stop him.

He looked down.

Hainan is your base and Nanman is a trap?

Y, yes sir!

Hoya urgently responded.

His hands and feet were bound and he was currently kneeling, looking up at Cale.

It was the same for Yoon next to him.

Cale did not have any of the Dominating Aura surrounding him right now but the two of them did not dare to relax.

I guess thats not an aura they can easily forget.

The Dominating Aura said that it was an aura that might even make gods cower.

Maybe the Blood Demon could, but a young Blood Demon, and just candidates for that position at that, would not be able to handle it.

I have something to talk about with this kid. We have a lot to do, so wouldnt it be great to divide and conquer?

The Sword Saint and Pinnacle Demon flinched after seeing that Cale and the Heavenly Demon spoke so informally to each other.

The Heavenly Demon didnt care and looked at Hoya and Cale before nodding his head.

Then let us do that.

Ron and the martial artists soon left and only Cale, his people, and Hoya were left.

.

Hoya could not hide his anxious gaze and looked around.

What is going on?

Why did he have me stay here?

It would have been better to get out of here like Yoon got to do.

He wanted to get far away from this young master Kim.

Hey.

He heard a warm voice at that moment.

Dont be nervous. Lets just chat a bit.

Cales attitude became gentle.

Do you want some tea? I hope I didnt scare you too much earlier.

He even had a smile on his face as he got up from the chair and alighted the steps. He then plopped down in front of Hoya.

He looked at Hoya as he continued to speak.

I had them all leave so that we could chat peacefully. I mean it.

Gulp. Hoya gulped but he relaxed a bit.

It was at that moment.

Based on what happened earlier, it doesnt look like the other candidate figured it out. But you seem to have.

Excuse me?

Smile.

Cale started to smile.

He had a bright smile on his face as he asked Hoya.

You know who I am, dont you?

Hoyas pupils started shaking.

Cales smile became even wider.

I guess you know about Xiaolen.

Even Hoyas lips started shaking.

What is your name?

HoHoya.

Yes, Hoya.

Pat pat. Cale patted his shoulder. He did so with a bright smile on his face.

Of course, he used a bit of the Dominating Aura.

It was as he had done earlier.

Based on what I know, the Blood Cult is supposedly choosing a priestess right now. Apparently they can only choose a young Blood Demon after the priestess has been chosen.

Pat pat.

The way Cale was patting his shoulder seemed somewhat warm and friendly.

But Hoya. How is it that a young Blood Demon candidate like you is running wild in the Central Plains like this?

Pat pat.

What is going on with the Blood Cult right now? Hmm?

Hoyas pupils were shaking nonstop.

They were like boats lost at sea after being swept away by the waves.

Hoya. Can you please tell me?

Cale used a bit more of the Dominating Aura and warmly whispered.

It would be great for both of us to know these things. Right?

Hoyas body was shaking.

* * *

Organizing the information

Choi Jung Soo looked at Cale and continued to speak.

The priestess has been selected, and the Divine Oracle that the priestess gave said that the person who has the most accomplishments in the destruction of the Central Plains will become the young Blood Demon?

Cale nodded his head.

And the Blood Cult will have its first celebration for the newly selected priestess? The people holding core positions in the Blood Cult will gather at Hainan for that?

Thats right.

Choi Jung Soo watched Cale calmly nod his head and was silent for a bit before speaking again.

Hey Rok Soo, umm

What is it?

You can even make people faint with your aura now?

Cale clenched his mouth shut.

He looked away from Hoya, who was unconscious and drooling.

Of course, Cale had not planned on making him faint.

Young master-nim.

Ron returned at that moment.

I think we can clean up Nanman, grab the person in charge of the jiangshi creation, and then head for Hainan.

They needed to clean up Nanman to settle the jiangshi issue.

Even if they could just create a situation where Cale didnt need to personally purify the jiangshis, that would be extremely beneficial.

Human, we will smash the Nanman Castle, smash the Blood Cult in Hainan and then we can go home! How exciting! I guess we can go home in about ten nights?

Probably? Maybe a little longer than that.

Cleaning up Nanman should take a few days at most.

They would then go through Guangxi and Guangdong into Hainan to immediately strike the Blood Cult.

That should not take too long.

Cale was organizing the plans for the future when the Sky Eating Water whispered.

The ocean?

He naturally ignored that voice.

Waves tsunami?

Yes, just ignore.

Ah, Im getting so excited

Fuck.

Ignoring her was the answer.

The eight black water drops on Cales clavicles

Six had turned white and the seventh one had been turning grey.

Only one remained black.

However, the seventh water drop that was grey had returned to black.

Six white water drops and two black water drops.

Of course, Cale had no idea about this.
