A middle-aged man with a fierce appearance.He was Sang Ung-baek, the outer manor master of Yeon Mok Sword Manor.Known as the “Merciless Fist” in northern Anhui Province, he was a master of martial arts and had been the most loyal subordinate of the second generation since the time the manor was founded by the Mok clan.Unlike the inner hall master Jang Myeong-in, who had entered the manor trusting the manor master, Sang Ung-baek was known for his strong convictions even among the retainers.As such, Lady Seok couldn’t win him over.He was a central figure in Yeon Mok Sword Manor and held significant influence among the retainers.Therefore, she had no choice but to be cautious around Sang Ung-baek.“It’s true, Outer Manor Master. No matter what, why would I order harm to be done to that child?”“Hmm. Is that so?”Despite her explanation, Outer Manor Master Sang Ung-baek showed a reaction of disbelief.This infuriated Lady Seok inwardly.Not only had things become complicated due to

Unlike the vengeful spirits that lack a physical body and thus cannot be touched or perceived, some of the entities in Imaemangnyang possess tangible forms.Having a physical form means they can literally be touched.However, even so, the bodies of Imaemangnyang entities, being an amalgamation of negative spiritual energy, are inherently toxic to living humans. As such, even trained diviners find it difficult to handle them with bare hands.Surprisingly, Mok Gyeong-un caught the armadillo with his bare hands.‘Is he unaffected?’As a diviner who employs the armadillo as a spirit servant, Sak couldn’t help but be perplexed.

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
