Mok Gyeong-un unwrapped the bandages and looked at his upper body reflected in the mirror.There were scars from stab wounds on the left side of his chest and abdomen.‘Scars?’Normally, even considerable wounds wouldn’t leave scars.However, the wounds inflicted by that man’s black sword had turned into scars.It seemed they would likely remain for life.‘Well… can’t be helped.’He had to be satisfied with surviving.Even he thought wounds of that extent would be fatal.But contrary to expectations, he had survived.He was aware that he had exceptional recovery abilities from the beginning, but his tenacity for life was beyond imagination.‘Is this a sign that I shouldn’t go there yet?’Fortunately.If he had to listen to his grandfather’s nagging, he at least wanted to complete his revenge.That way, it would be less unjust.‘Revenge…’Thinking about revenge, he felt he was lucky.Who would have thought there would be someone in the world with the exact same face as him?Thanks to t

‘what the …. is this bastard…?’Not only was his breath being cut off, but a chill ran down his spine.The gaze in Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes, as he was grinning from ear to ear, was strangely spine-chilling.Now he understood why Guard Gam, the captain, had said those words.[I mean he’s not someone who can be easily controlled.]He thought it was just something he said.But actually experiencing it, the boy was clearly different from ordinary people.Even without having learned martial arts, his immense strength and the ominous pressure in his eyes were crushing his mind like pulp.Squeeze!“Ugh…”The force squeezing his throat intensified.He endured it with his internal energy, but he couldn’t hold on any longer.Seeing his eyes burning, it seemed he would soon lose consciousness.At that moment,Swish!The hand gripping his neck loosened.“Cough, cough!”As his blocked airway opened, he coughed as if choking.Amidst that, he was puzzled.‘Why?’Mok Gyeong-un, who had been enjoying it w

“Try what you just mentioned earlier.”“Wh-what are you talking about…?”“You said you could control the demon and get what you want from the Manor Master’s mouth.”Diviner Myo-sin was momentarily dumbfounded.Judging by the atmosphere, he naturally assumed they would tell him to save the Manor Master’s life.But he never expected these words to spill out.‘Ha!’Guard Go Chan was equally speechless.To avoid making an enemy of the Madam, he thought they would somehow make the diviner save the Manor Master’s life. But to think the Madam would make the same request…Go Chan approached Mok Gyeong-un and whispered,“Young master, what exactly are you trying to do?”“You heard him, didn’t you?”“What?”“We can hear what the Madam wants from the Manor Master’s mouth.”At those words, Guard Go Chan frowned and opened his mouth slightly.That wasn’t what he was asking about.“But young master, what will you do after finding that out?”In response, Mok Gyeong-un let out a faint sneer.Instead,

It had been trapped inside a body for a long time.The owner of that body possessed a stronger will and determination than it had anticipated.When it tried to quickly take over the body, the owner blocked the energy flow and cut off his own consciousness.-It’s no use resisting.Seizing the consciousness was only a matter of time.No matter how strong-willed, he was bound to succumb eventually.Once the weakened body and consciousness were captured, this body could be taken over.-It won’t be long now.Everything seemed to be going smoothly.However, an unexpected variable appeared.Just a little longer and it could have broken through the blocked consciousness, but an obstacle arose.-Who are you?Ordinary humans cannot perceive their existence.But this being knew how to control it with strange techniques.-Are you trying to drive me out?Thus, the being began a battle of wills.It was a matter of driving out or taking over.Then, the being was deceived by the one wielding this biz

“Ugh…”The middle-aged man with a scar under his left eye, sitting cross-legged on the floor while eating a sweet, sighed as he looked towards the pavilion leading to the main hall.The pavilion, usually guarded by escort warriors, was empty.‘Is this really okay?’His name was Jang Myeong-in.He held the position of Inner Manor Master, the head of security for the main hall at Yeon Mok Sword Manor.In his youth, he was a renowned expert in martial arts near Xiaoxing, Zhejiang. Nineteen years ago, during a pirate suppression campaign in the Haeyang region, he formed a connection with the Manor Master and joined Yeon Mok Sword Manor.‘Manor Master…’The Manor Master of his younger days was a true hero.Jang Myeong-in admired him and believed everything he did was right.But how did things end up like this?[Inner Manor Master… you don’t really wish for that lowly courtesan’s son to inherit the position of the great Yeon Mok Sword Manor, do you?][That’s…][Think carefully about what’s

‘How can this be…’Physician Noh couldn’t hide his astonishment as he checked the pulse.Just this morning, it seemed as if the Manor Master’s pulse would stop at any moment.But now, there was vitality as his pulse beat.In just a few hours.‘His complexion has improved too.’The symptoms of unknown cause had all disappeared.Although he had weakened somewhat from lying unconscious in bed for a long time, there was a high possibility of recovery if he recuperated well.However,‘The problem is his consciousness.’The Manor Master had been unconscious for quite a while.Because he hadn’t regained consciousness, the Yeon Mok Sword Manor was in turmoil over the issue of succession.Since he was recovering, there was a high probability of him waking up, but it was uncertain when that would be.If something were to happen to him before then…‘…’At that moment, a sharp female voice reached his ears.“How is he?”Physician Noh slowly raised his head.The voice belonged to the first wife, L

-Bang!Upon returning to her residence, Hyehwa Hall, the First Madam Lady Seok kicked a chair violently.The chair, infused with internal energy, split in half.Her face flushed red, she panted heavily.“How dare he!”Even when she was in the infirmary, she had tried her best to suppress her anger.But now that things had turned out like this, it was difficult to contain her rage.“Madam, please calm down.”Hoang, the escort warrior, cautiously tried to dissuade Lady Seok.In response, she spoke in an irritated voice.“Calm down? Do I look like I can calm down right now? I finally found and brought a skilled diviner, but instead, that outrageous fellow got his hands on the seal… Argh!”“Madam!”Lady Seok grabbed the back of her neck.As her blood pressure rose, she closed her eyes, perhaps feeling dizzy.In fact, even though she kept the second son, the most cunning among the Mok family’s children, and the youngest son, whom the Manor Master favored, in check, she had paid no attentio

The second young master, Mok Eun-pyeong, had grand ambitions.From a young age, he not only mastered the sword techniques of the Yeon Mok Sword Manor, but also the fist techniques of the Hwe Beichang family, his mother Lady Jang’s maternal family, demonstrating his exceptional martial arts talent.Therefore, he was confident that he would naturally become the next leader of the Yeon Mok Sword Manor.The eldest legitimate son, Mok Yeong-ho, was greedy and indulged in Desires, lacking the qualities of a successor, so Mok Eun-pyeong believed that the order of succession would naturally fall to him.However, that was a miscalculation.‘Mok Yu-cheon.’The leader’s favor was with him, the youngest son.It was understandable, as he possessed innate martial arts talent, mastering all the martial arts of the Yeon Mok Sword Manor at the mere age of fourteen and reaching the level of a first-rate expert.As Mok Yu-cheon stood out, the leader kept delaying the decision on the succession.Mok Eun-

The Demonic Monk, a wandering spirit and a monster, bowed with fear and reverence.As he showed this unexpected reaction, Mok Gyeong-un looked at the book inside the wooden box with curious eyes.A bizarre book made of human skin.Why was the Demonic Monk reacting like this upon seeing this book surrounded by a rosary?Unconsciously, Mok Gyeong-un reached out his hand towards the book inside the wooden box.And the moment his fingertips touched it,-Thump!‘!?’Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes narrowed.‘…A heartbeat?’In an instant.In a fleeting moment, he felt a heartbeat.It was as clear as a beating heart.However, this heartbeat paradoxically did not occur because it was alive.Rather, it was closer to death.-Thump! Thump!The heartbeat seemed to be getting stronger.‘…’Mok Gyeong-un, who had been staring intently at the book, closed the lid of the wooden box.A strong attraction arose.He wanted to remove the rosary and see what was inside, but it seemed difficult to do so at the moment.

“Wh-what the …. did you do to my body?”In response to his question, Mok Gyeong-un smiled brightly and said,“Who knows? What could I have done?”-Shudder!His mouth was clearly smiling.But his eyes, like those of a dead person, didn’t move at all.Seeing this, Jo Il-sang felt a chill for the first time in his life.‘Is this fellow… really that Mok Gyeong-un?’The Mok Gyeong-un he knew was, without exaggeration, the most pathetic among the brothers of the Mok family.But he never expected to see him like this.The atmosphere was completely different.It felt like he was facing a being that was on a different level, not an ordinary human.At that moment, Mok Gyeong-un approached him and spoke.“You seem to be trembling a lot. Well… don’t worry. If it were the usual method, I would have started by cutting somewhere, but now I’ve used Dispersion Powder.”“Dispersion Powder?”In response to Jo Il-sang’s question, Mok Gyeong-un pointed upwards with his finger and said,“This is a really g
