Book 2: Chapter 174: Hae-il (9)

* * *

Zhuge Mi Ryeo, the person said to have the most brilliant brain in the Orthodox faction and the Chief Advisor of the Martial Arts Alliance.

She slammed the message in her hand onto the table.

The message detailed what had happened at Yunnan Castle.

Alliance leader-nim! We cant just let things be!

Mm.

The Alliance leader, someone known for being one of the Orthodox factions strongest when it came to internal ki, clenched his eyes shut.

He groaned before starting to speak.

Do you think that what is written there is true?

One corner of Zhuge Mi Ryeos lips curled up.

Creating a large tsunami to destroy the Yunnan Castle walls and defeat ten thousand jiangshis was the work of one person. Not the Blood Cults Blood Demon or young Blood Demon but two mere young Blood Demon candidates have reached the Profound Realm and young master Kims people easily took them down. Does all of this sound like lies, Alliance leader-nim?

Haaa.

The Alliance leader sighed before shaking his head.

No. It is so absurd that it sounds like the truth. Furthermore, we have no choice but to believe it because Elder Ho, the Cleave Saint, and everybody else reported the same thing.

Alliance leader-nim. We must focus.

Zhuge Mi Ryeos eyes sank low.

When I learned that the Heavenly Demon had reached the middle of the Profound Realm I was worried, but it was not too much.

She was certain that there would be an old expert of past generations secluded away in the Orthodox faction who had also reached the Profound Realm.

There were definitely strong individuals who did not usually reveal themselves.

The Triumvirate. She was certain that this balance would not break.

Furthermore, the Imperial Palaces Fist King has also reached the Profound Realm, so she believed that the balance between the government and the Martial Arts world would be maintained as well.

Just as it has been all this time.

However, young master Kim Hae-ils strength is beyond our wildest imaginations.

These divine abilities that young master Kim, whom they believed to be in the Nature Realm, was showing

These seem less like actions of a person but a god.

Mm.

Alliance leader-nim, what will the commoners think once they see young master Kim-nims divine abilities?

The Alliance leaders face turned serious.

Not just the commoners, what do you think will happen once the Martial artists see young master Kims power?

.

All that is left now is a face to face confrontation with the Blood Cult. Numerous people will see young master Kim use his powers.

.

The Triumvirate. Even if all of the martial artists are broken apart into these three major forces, they all have a single beating heart.

Fear was visible in Zhuge Mi Ryeos eyes.

Power. Even stronger power. Martial artists devote their lives for that. Young master Kim appears in front of such people. Everything he does would seem like a chapter out of a myth. Then naturally, people-

They will worship him.

Yes sir. An overlord ruling the entire Martial Arts world might appear.

The Alliance leader sighed and Zhuge Mi Ryeo continued to speak.

Most importantly, young master Kim-nim has the abilities to do that.

He had everything necessary to seat himself as the overlord of the Martial Arts world.

His own powers.

An aura to dominate the area around him.

Furthermore, his virtuous character.

He was not lacking in any aspect. In fact, none of the people throughout history who, at least for a moment, shook the Martial Arts world and were called small overlords were better than young master Kim.

And the achievements he has made until now is not lacking for worshiping him either.

He purified all of the living jiangshis without caring about which side of the Triumvirate those people were on.

He did it despite coughing up blood himself.

Now, he even rescued the commoners in Yunnan Castle.

The numerous lives he has saved

The entire Yunnan Castle would become the omnipotent supporter of young master Kim.

Furthermore, Yunnan Castle did not have an especially talented sect of clan that held it down. That made it perfect to be young master Kims backing.

Im sure that young master Kim-nim has not planned all of this. He just moved in the most sensible way. He is someone who does not want fame or power.

That is why it is scary.

Yes sir, that is scary.

Fear was even more visible in Zhuge Mi Ryeos eyes.

Doesnt it feel like the world is trying to turn this person, Kim Hae-il, into the god of the Martial Arts world?

The Alliance leader clenched his eyes shut.

However, the Chief Advisor opened her eyes even wider.

However, this cannot be.

She had avoided conflicts as much as possible while in the Chief Advisor position. The reason behind it was simple.

The Martial Arts world cannot be at the mercy of a single person.

Yes.

Hainan. I will go there.

She looked at the wall with a map of the Central Plains.

Sima Pyeong is probably also urgently gathering his subordinates to head toward Hainan as well. The Heavenly Demon was truly wise.

He had given a laughable reason of going on a tour of the Martial Arts world to follow young master Kim.

Cale, Choi Han, Raon, Ron, Beacrox, Choi, and Sui Khan

Everybody other than Toonka and Durst, who had to stay behind because of all the retching, stealthily headed toward Nanman.

Paaaat-

They naturally used teleportation magic.

Why would they need to use less efficient means when nobody from the Central Plains was with them?

And-

It really is nice because you guys know magic.

The Blue Bloods did not use magic, but they were quite knowledgeable about it.

We arrived right away thanks to you.

Cale looked at the bottom of the mountain.

The lush forest that was covered in a slightly humid and hot air

They could see a man-made barren wasteland with a castle through the trees.

It was more like a large manor than a castle.

Cale smacked the shoulder of the person next to him.

Hoya. What kind of person is old man Baek again?

Waa.

Hoya let out a weird noise before answering.

His enunciation and speech was clear despite the fact that he was shaking. This seemed as if he was trying to do things right as he was wary of Cale.

Old man Baek is the heir of a family who has been in charge of creating the jiangshis for generations. He has an eccentric temperament-

No, no, not things like that. You said that he doesnt like to have people around him?

Yes, yes sir! He does not like people! He cherishes basically everything except people! He only keeps jiangshis by his side, sir!

Old man Baek, the person who knew how to purify jiangshis.

His actual name is Baek Ga Eok.

Choi Han, who had been silent, walked up and asked.

Is it different from the jiangshi purification method that Number 7 knows, Cale-nim?

Number 7, whom they had caught back in Xiaolen Planet, also knew a way to purify the jiangshis created from dead mana. It was just that the method he knew took a very long time.

Yeah, he said that Old man Baeks method is much easier and can purify a large number at once.

Choi Hans expression brightened up. He spoke in a calm voice.

It sounds like he is someone we must capture alive.

Right?

I will make sure to capture him alive, Cale-nim.

Cale thought that the words Choi Han was saying with the bright expression on his face were very pure but oddly vicious.

He just thought he was mistaking it and looked toward Yoon, who was warily looking at him.

Smile.

He then smiled.

What is up with him?

Yoons pupils were shaking.

Hoya orabuni didnt even bow in front of the Blood Demon! But even he is completely scared of this person!

She had watched as an unconscious Hoya was dragged out.

She also became scared and did not dare to avoid Cales gaze.

I heard from Hoya. Yoon, you created the formation guarding that manor?

Cale spoke so warmly toward her. He then patted Yoons shoulder.

Hey Yoon. You can create a small entrance for us to sneak in, right? Something like that is easy for you, right?

Gulp.

As Yoon gulped

Cale spoke warmly in a gentle voice.

Lets make it easy for all of us. Hmm? Lets not waste our strength. We just need to quietly go in and capture Old man Baek. Very easy, isnt it?

Cale wanted to quickly take care of things in the Central Plains and then return to Roan.

Wasting time in Nanman was something that this future slacker hopeful, who missed home, did not want to do.

He smiled and introduced Yoon to a few people.

Those people will very quietly capture Old man Baek alive.

Ron, Sui Khan, and Choi Han.

Cale pointed at the three of them, one after the other, before smiling toward Yoon.

Okay, Yoon. You can do it?

Yoon couldnt answer so Cale spoke again.

Hey Yoon. Answer.

Yoon opened her mouth.

I, I can do it

A few moments later, she was shaking as she made a hole in the formation that she had created.

This building that was the size of a castle Cales group entered into this extremely large manor.

Their stealthy steps headed toward where Old man Baek, the master of this manor, could be found.
