Inside Hyehwa Hall, the residence of Lady Seok.Lady Seok sat with her chin resting elegantly on her clasped hands, looking at a woman with doubtful eyes.The woman had a truly peculiar aura about her.At most, she looked to be twenty-two or twenty-three years old, quite young.However, perhaps because one of her eyes was white, she exuded a somewhat heavy and unapproachable atmosphere.‘If not for that unpleasant white eye, she would have quite enchanted many men.’The white eye was considerably irritating.The gua

This was Mok Eun-pyeong’s residence.-Slurp!Mok Eun-pyeong, who had finished his breakfast, was elegantly sipping Silver Needle(s) of the Jun Mountain, a famous tea from Hunan province.A guard named Jeon Yang-pyeong, who had reached the level of a first-rate master, carefully spoke to him.“Young master.”“What is it?”“But judging from Guard Gam’s reaction earlier, it didn’t seem like a lie. Do you really think he was deceiving you as a last resort?”-Tak!Mok Eun-pyeong put down his teacup and answered briefly.“No. It’s half and half. Guard Gam must have had something he didn’t know about either. Even if it was a last resort, would he do something that would raise suspicion in just a day? No matter how much of a fool Mok Gyeong-un is, he must have hidden at least one secret weapon.”“What? Then how……”“Didn’t I say I would only give him two hours and take his life if he couldn’t find Jo Il-sang?”“Yes. Didn’t you want Guard Gam that much?”Mok Eun-pyeong had always wanted to make

“The dagger and internal energy are yours.”‘!?’Guard Gam’s eyes trembled at Mok Gyeong-un’s words.The dagger embedded in the center of his chest.The internal energy contained within the dagger was his own?Then, did this fellow forcibly take his internal energy and utilize it?‘…… Impossible.’Internal energy has its own unique properties.Even if one takes another’s internal energy, transformed by various schools and sects, it would practically be poison.Even if internal energy is passed down between master and disciple of the same sect, there is no way to directly utilize it without refining it into one’s own through breathing techniques.Yet, he used it?‘Just what is this bastard’s true identity?’He was definitely not an ordinary civilian.Guard Gam thought he could control him since he was a death row inmate and not a martial artist.However, that was a miscalculation.This fellow possessed strange abilities that he was unaware of.He even manipulated the bizarre[1].‘A mis

‘shit. At this rate, I won’t be able to keep my life.’Guard Go Chan was heading towards Hyehwa Hall, the residence of the madam.In the end, he couldn’t sleep well.No, it would be strange to fall asleep after hearing that.Although Go Chan couldn’t confront Mok Gyeong-un about why he did it, he was at a loss as to what to do about it.‘That crazy bastard. I clearly told him to just send him away.’He never thought Mok Gyeong-un would kill Jo Il-sang, the second young master’s guard warrior.He thought he would at least have that much discernment.what the …. is he thinking?‘If that bastard Mok Eun-pyeong finds out that his guard warrior was killed, there will surely be trouble.’Not just trouble.Knowing his personality, he might try to retaliate against Mok Gyeong-un right away.Although he can’t kill him since the Manor Master is still alive, he might break his limbs or try to kill his guard in the same way.‘This is driving me crazy.’Go Chan felt a headache coming on.No, why d

-Can you feel it? That’s the subtle principle of the Ritual of Binding. It can pull and attach anything. Even qi is no exception.“Qi?”Is that the internal energy that martial artists talk about?Cheong-ryeong looked at Mok Gyeong-un with an incredulous expression.-Don’t tell me you didn’t even know about this?In response to her reaction, Mok Gyeong-un shrugged his shoulders.Until just a short while ago, he had been living without even knowing what martial arts were.‘So this is what it was.’However, feeling this was definitely a first for him.But why did it feel like it wasn’t the first time he had felt it?There was a time when his grandfather had gently rubbed his back and stomach when he was first poisoned by the noxious herbs.‘…It was warm like this back then too.’It wasn’t just that his palms were warm, but his insides felt warm just like now.Could it be that his grandfather had also cultivated this internal energy?A small doubt arose.Just then, the warm energy, no, t

The connected red thread.It signified that They were connected.A servant ghost.The Green ghost being, who had become a monster employed by a master, was screaming and throwing a fit, unable to contain how unfair and absurd this situation was.It even threatened Mok Gyeong-un, unable to overcome its anger.However,-Ack!-Ugh! shit!The Green ghost being had been strangling Mok Gyeong-un’s neck, but suddenly let go in a panic.Wondering why it did that, he noticed red handprints appearing on the Green ghost being’s pale neck.‘Could it be?’Upon seeing this, Mok Gyeong-un realized one thing.Although he didn’t know the exact reason, it seemed that a servant ghost shared the harm inflicted on its master.‘So that’s why.’It made sense why the Demonic Monk had black spots appearing all over its body.It was because the damage the Green ghost being had taken from the blood droplet attacks had also affected the Demonic Monk.‘I see.’He now understood why servant ghost followed their ma
