Chapter 311 - Dead man tells no tales (4) Chapter 311: Dead man tells no tales (4) She seemed to be furious beyond reason. Most people would be too afraid to even speak to Chun Yeowun after seeing what he had done, but she didn’t seem to care. ‘I-is she really mad?’ Hu Bong became dumbfounded while Yeowun narrowed his eyes. Gam Miyan’s reaction was beyond logical explanation so even Yeowun became curious. Hing Wunja clearly said under the truth serum that the Godly Doctor’s granddaughter had been kidnapped. ‘Why is she siding with those pirates when she was kidnapped?’ That’s when Nano answered his thoughts. [This seems to match the case of Stockholm Syndrome.] ‘Stockholm Syndrome?’ [It is a symptom where one finds sympathy with the aggressor in a mental and spiritual way. If it becomes excessive, it sometimes evolves into the feeling of affection such as love.] ‘What? I didn’t even imagine such a thing would exist.’ It was still hard to believe even after hearing it. But for the man who was tied on the tree, he was actually entertained by what was happening. He knew the state of Gam Miyan already because this was reported multiple times. ‘So, it was true that the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor became very close with the First Mate of the Yongho Family… haha.’ This was actually why Gam Miyan helped the man set up traps. She didn’t help just because she had to save her baby. For her, the Yongho family was actually her family and friends. A year in captivity had changed her very drastically. ‘There were sacrifices but this seems to be good. She will not try to help them.’ Was it going as the man expected? Gam Miyan glared at Yeowun and the others with vengeful eyes. “You came because my grandmother asked you to? Then I’m sure you’re after my grandmother to make her treat someone. Isn’t that it? Isn’t that what you came here for?’ Gam Miyan was smart. She wasn’t all correct with her guesses, but it still was similar. Of course, the only thing was that her grandmother promised to serve the Lord of Demonic Cult in return. “Calm down. We are here because your grandmother really wanted to rescue you. We heard you were kidnapped and that captain threatened us with the baby. How would we know that you became friends with them?” Yang Danwa spoke to solve the issue, but there was no way the woman would change her mind when she thought she had lost everything. Gam Miyan shouted, “Bah! Nonsense! Even if that’s true, you still killed my people. You won’t get anything from me!” “Hmph. That wasn’t our intention. I told you we didn’t know.” “Is it fine because you didn’t know? Let me tell you clearly. I will not help you get whatever you are trying to get!” “What? What are you talking about?” Hu Bong, who had been looking at her dumbfoundedly, frowned and asked. Gam Miyan then shouted as if she was cursing all of them. “I will not go to my grandmother. If you take me by force, I will tell her that she must not help any of you! I will do whatever it takes to do that! You will feel my pain when you lose your loved one that you are trying to save!” She declared that she would get in the way by using all she had. She was being ungrateful of being saved. This was not expected at all. ‘Hahaha! This is interesting. You have the granddaughter but she will not comply, she will just be a nuisance to your plan! You all will not get anything!’ The man became excited while he was pretending to still be asleep. It looked like Yeowun’s group was going to have a hard time as they now had to find a way to bring this nuisance back. They had to take her, but she was going to be far from help. ‘You are paying the price for making me like this.’ And that’s when he heard Hu Bong speak. “…What a shame. You think we are some weaklings from the Forces of Justice? And you’ll regret when you realize what our Lord will choose to do.” “Lord?” Gam Miyan’s eyes became large from Hu Bong’s swords. The man also became shocked. There was only one who was addressed as a ‘Lord’ in the entire Yulin. ‘Lord… wait. Is that…’ Chun Yeowun then looked down at Gam Miyan coldly and spoke, “Do you think you are the only one who feels the pain of losing loved ones?” “T-that’s…!” “I don’t care if you loved those who kidnapped you, nor do I care if you are sad because they died.” Gam Miyan was at a loss for words. This wasn’t the reaction she anticipated. “And you said you will get in our way no matter what it takes?” “O-of course! You killed my husband so I…” But she couldn’t continue, as all of the people looking at her looked cold and emotionless. Yeowun shook his head. “We will take you back no matter what you say.” Gam Miyan then narrowed her eyes. “Hah! That won’t be any use! I will tell grandmother to…” “You won’t.” “W-what? Of course I will tell her…” “You won’t, if you are dead.” “?!” Gam Miyan became shocked. The man who was pretending to be passed out also became shocked. “Elder Yang, what do you say?” “Well, it is common for hostages to die in huge fights. We’d be lucky to even find the remains. The Godly Doctor will be sad… but we have no choice.” Gam Miyan became grim at Yang Danwa’s words. Their way of thinking and the action these people took do was different from normal people or people from the Forces of Justice. “W-wait… are you g-going to kill me? A-are you out of your mind!? You are here to save me!” “I saved you because you had a use.” “A use?!” “You are no use if you are not the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor. But you just threw away your only value.” “W-what!!” People usually changed their thoughts when their lives were in danger. Her senses that didn’t work while in fury now returned. But it was too late. Yeowun talked to her in low voice, as if he was whispering. “It’s fortunate that your baby is asleep.” Gam Miyan then became pale at the voice. “Y-you dev…” But Yeowun swung his hand before she could finish, and her neck turned around because of the powerful force of energy. “UGH!” And with a gasp, Gam Miyan’s neckbone was destroyed and died. She was angered, but she paid the price of not choosing someone to mess with wisely by death. ‘What!’ The man became shocked. ‘T-these people are mad! They really killed her!’ He didn’t imagine that they would kill the granddaughter, the only possible piece that would make Godly Doctor work without hesitation, even in front of a baby. That’s when he heard someone walking over to him. The man who came up to him grabbed his neck. He opened his eyes and saw Yeowun looking at him. “Do you think I wouldn’t know you were pretending to sleep?” “!!!!” The man became shocked. There was no way Yeowun would not notice the different breathing patterns after the man woke up. “Now, it’s your turn.” Chapter 312 - A successor (1) Chapter 312: A successor (1) A dark night with only a few torches that lit up the area… someone appeared at the Yongho Family village that was surrounded by the forest near the Yellow River. The sound of small but constant footsteps proved that the visitor was a martial artist. But this man had very distinctive looks. He had two very large swords behind his back that were wrapped in a crisscross pattern on his back, with a tiger on his shoulder. He entered the Yongho Family village with a dead tiger. As he got into the village, his face revealed under the torch. He had crumpled hair with clothing made from animal leather, and he was in his mid 20s. “Hmm?” He became surprised when he walked into the village. ‘This is strange. I’m sure it’s about time for the pirates to return and rest.’ He only felt about 50 people around the village, and all of them seemed to be either women or children. ‘Well, it’s none of my business.’ Whatever the case, his job was to see ‘her’, not the other pirates, so it didn’t matter. The young man walked straight to a place within the village as if he had visited this place many times. He was going toward a large shack, larger than any of the other shacks inside the village. As he neared the shack, he stopped as he felt something weird. He then went toward the area inside the fence where the jars were gathered. “Huh?” There was the dead body of pirate that was folded over behind a large jar. The death was caused by the neck that had been snapped. ‘Was he folded so he could hide behind?’ The young man then realized something wasn’t right. He dropped the tiger on the ground and banged on the shack. The shack had to have ‘her’ and her husband but he couldn’t feel anyone inside. He couldn’t even feel the nanny who always resided inside the shack. ‘Ugh. I need that damn medicine…’ He glanced around and walked into one of the rooms inside the shack. It looked like a medicine room, so he checked to see if there was the medicine he needed there. But all medicinal herbs were in their original state with no sign of any mixtures. ‘Ugh. There’s nothing here.’ He then left the shack and went somewhere else. It was to ask someone for what was going on, as he felt the human presence nearby. With a bang on the door, a middle-aged woman came out, woken up from her sleep. “Ugh, who the hell is banging on the door at night… uh?” She became shocked to see the young man. It seemed like the woman knew this man very well. She asked in shaking voice, seemingly afraid of him. “W-why are you here at my shack? Aren’t you here to see Lady G… Oh!” She then realized Gam Miyan wasn’t at her home. That was probably why this young man came over to her instead. “Where is she?” “Y-you are talking about Lady Gam, right?” “Yeah.” The woman told him that Gam Miyan was in the middle of the river by battleships. The young man thanked her for telling him that and disappeared. When he disappeared, the woman became relieved and fell to the ground and mumbled. “Whew… that was scary. I hope we move our village fast.” It was always scary to see this young man, as everyone was afraid that this young man might make that monstrous man appear. At the same time, in the middle of the mountain right in front of the riverbed where battleships sank nearby, the questioning was being held on the man who was hung up on the large tree with missing arms. The man’s eyes were numb and he was mumbling something. “…And that… makes up the Brotherhood…” “Hmm.” Chun Yeowun and his members were listening to him. Yang Danwa touched his chin and spoke. “I didn’t imagine the Forces of Justice would have such extremists among them.” Hu Bong answered as he was dumbfounded. “These people are crazy. I understand a world of justice and all, but killing everyone related to the Forces of Evil and the cult to even distant relatives? It’s insane.” Blue Sky Brotherhood. A secret organization within the Forces of Justice had the goal of making a blue sky. It was revealed that this organization was created with powerful figures of the Forces of Justice gathering together. All of these individuals were extremists within the faction. The man under the truth serum revealed everything about the Brotherhood’s purpose and how it was created. “They are under a delusion!” Hu Bong shouted angrily as he had been angry ever since he heard their motives. As mentioned, the goal of Blue Sky Brotherhood was to kill everyone who did not side with their justice. They didn’t care about how they achieved their goal, only if they got to it. This wasn’t what the Forces of Justice originally sought out to be. “They have no right to speak of themselves as the Forces of Justice.” Bakgi spoke with a frown. That method of thinking that sacrifice was more in line with what the Forces of Evil might do. ‘The president and the five officers…’ The organization had a leader called the president, five officers, and other powerful warriors. Five officers were called masters. Yeowun continued with the question. “Are the five officers ranked?” With Yeowun snapping his finger, the man, who was revealed as one of the masters, spoke. “No… besides … the president… we are all… equal.” The master didn’t look all that healthy. The reason why he was talking slowly was because he was under a heavy dose of the truth serum. ‘His internal power is destroyed, but he’s still a superior master level warrior. His mental strength is powerful.’ The master resisted the truth serum strongly at first. He couldn’t think straight after the injection but he still resisted. This made Yeowun add more truth serum, but it made the man almost hallucinate. ‘I have to make it quick.’ His eyes were half-closed, so it didn’t seem like Yeowun had a lot of time. “Tell me all the names of the officers.” This was vital information, as this information would allow Yeowun to be prepared in the future. The master flinched at the question and began to resist. Yeowun snapped his fingers again and the master began to speak. “N…Namking family’s leader… Namking Keng…” Chapter 313 - A successor (2) Chapter 313: A successor (2) ‘Namking Keng!’ Yang Danwa became shocked. The Namking family was the strongest family among the top five families of Yulin. Namking Keng was the house leader, one of strongest within the Nine Strong, and he was close to rising as one of the top five warriors in the close future. “M..Mudan clan’s… Hing Wunja…” “Ah.” They knew Hing Wunja was related, and it was confirmed that he was actually an officer. The Mudan clan was one of strongest, along with the Sorim and Flower Mountain clans among the nine clans. “Tang Philson of Sachun…” “…I expected as much from them.” The Sachun family of the five families was one of the most aggressive people among the Forces of Justice. They walked the path of justice, but they still used poison and various traps. Tang Philson, a second rank in the family, lost his daughter in the war between justice and evil, so he hated the Forces of Evil with his heart. He wasn’t one of the Strong Nine, but he was known for his ability to use poison. “And… and… Uaaaarg…” The master then began to moan. Veins were popping up over his forehead, resulting in a severe headache. [An overdose of truth serum seems to be affecting the target’s brain.] Yeowun frowned at Nano’s words. That was correct, but it also seemed that this man was fighting the further spilling of information. “Ggggrrr….” The man’s eyes rolled backward, showing the whites only. He trembled as he mumbled. “I…I am Feng… Muwar… of Habuk family…” This was the man’s true identity. He was from the Habuk family, known for their blood skill, and second in rank within the family. He was one of the Strong Nine. “Ar….ggg…” [The target’s breathing is becoming weaker.] “Dammit!” Yeowun sent in his internal energy into Feng Muwar’s body so he could stay alive. But Feng Muwar without his internal damage was like a broken jar. ‘I have to hear who’s the president!’ Feng Muwar’s trembling began to die down, and Yeowun shook his dying body. “Hey! Who’s the president?!” Yeowun snapped his fingers at Feng Muwar’s ears. But he was almost dead. “Rrrrggg…” Yeowun shook the body with one hand and snapped his fingers by the ear again and again. “Presid…ent… only… speaks to… Namking…” Feng Muwar died before he could finish his words. His injury was severe so he couldn’t withstand the amount of dosage of truth serum. Yang Danwa placed his hand on the chest to check and shook his head. “He’s dead, my lord.” But they had enough information needed. “…Was he saying that Namking Keng should know who the president is?” “It seems likely, my Lord. But finding it out from him would be hard.” Yeowun nodded to Yang Danwa’s reply. Yeowun had learned a lot about Yulin after he became the Lord. Namking Keng was one of the 17 leaders of the Yulin clan. He was the third leader, while the 4th through 17th leaders were at the same level, those 3rd and above were ones that had true power over the entire Forces of Justice faction. Namking Keng was the Commander of the Demon Hunters, one of the two armies within the faction. The Demon Hunter army was literally created to fight against the Demonic Cult, and Namking Keng was its commander. He was the man who could order over 30 thousand warriors at his disposal. “This is going to be hard. At least we have vital information we ne…” But before Yang Danwa could finish, Yeowun turned his head around to a direction toward the river. It was a bit later than Yeowun, but Yang Danwa also noticed something and turned toward the river. [My Lord. There’s someone there… he seems to be quite powerful. I guess he’s from Blue Sky Brotherhood.] […Seems so.] Yang Danwa placed his finger by his mouth to signal Bakgi or Hu Bong to stay silent. They nodded and became silent but it was too late. The enemy didn’t sense Yeowun or Yang Danwa, but he had sensed Hu Bong and Bakgi. Yang Danwa warned and the two of them readied with tense expressions. Soon, they heard the sound of something coming through bushes. The man appeared soon enough. He had two giant swords on his back with crumpled hair. “Huh? Six?” The young man’s face became weird. He thought he had sensed only two, but there were four more people, including two dead ones. ‘Oh no!’ He then glanced at Gam Miyan on the ground. She wasn’t breathing and didn’t even move with her skin going pale. She was dead. “Dammit!” The young man became infuriated and glared at Yeowun and the others. “Did you kill her?!” He then charged while pulling out his greatsword and went straight to Bakgi, who was closest to Gam Miyan’s body. ‘It’s huge!’ The sword was really huge, about 2 meters. The young man struck down his sword from above and Yang Danwa charged in to defend. Yang Danwa’s palm was surrounded by blue force qi. The greatsword also wielded blue force qi, but Yang Danwa was stronger with his energy, so the young man was thrown to the back. He flipped in the air and dropped to the ground and frowned. “Dammit. I wanted to take out the weak one first.” “Weak?!” Bakgi became grim at the words as he was just talked down to. [Captain Bakgi, he’s stronger than you.] [What?] Yang Danwa told Bakgi to stand down. He knew Bakgi would not be killed at once, but he felt uncertain danger from the man and had to jump in. The young man spat and pulled out another greatsword from his back. “Dammit. I don’t want to do this.” It looked astounding to see him holding up two giant swords in his hand easily. There were very few who used dual swords within Yulin, as most warriors only concentrated on one weapon. Yang Danwa began to think. ‘I heard somewhere… about the one who uses two great swords… where did I…’ “Two great swords… two… OH! I know! Martial Double Sword!” “Oh great…” The young man frowned at Yang Danwa’s shout. Chapter 314 - A successor (3) Chapter 314: A successor (3) Top five warriors of Yulin. The martial artists of Yulin began calling the five strongest warriors of the entire Yulin and addressed them as such. It wasn’t sure why the number limited to five, but these five figures became like tradition in Yulin’s history. North Justice, South Demon, East Challenger, West Strong, and Middle Double. North Justice Blade, Yi Mok. South Demon Lord, Chun Yujong. East Challenger God, Ark Wui. West Strong King, Hang Yen. Martial Dual Sword, Wang Jing. North Justice Blade Yi Mok was the leader of the Yulin clan, and the clan leader of the Justice clan. Justice clan wasn’t one of the Nine Great Clans, but historically they had many of the strongest warriors in the Forces of justice. As for South Demon Lord, it originally addressed Chun Inji, but after defeating Alliance of Forces of Evil at Sawon Plains battle, Chun Yujong succeeded the name. Hang Yen the West Strong King had earned the title after fighting amongst warriors of the Forces of Evil to rise on top, who was powerful but also very keen on tricks and traps. All three people above were the leaders of the three large factions that controlled the entire Yulin. The other two were ones that weren’t related to the three factions. They only achieved titles through martial arts. East Challenger God Ark Wui was a very mysterious man that no one knew much about him. The only thing known about him was that he had become one of the top warriors without any weapons, so he earned the title Challenger God. But Wang Jing was the opposite. His name was so famous that everyone in Yulin had heard about him. ‘Isn’t he the one responsible for the birth of the 18 River Families?’ Chun Yeowun thought of this when Yang Danwa said the name. This didn’t mean that Wang Jing was the one who created the 18 River Families. Originally there was a time when the Yellow River was infested with pirates. At the time, the name of pirates were 30 River Families, with over 10 thousand pirates controlling the entire Yellow River. ‘The man who killed over three thousand pirates singlehandedly.’ That was the Martial Dual Sword, Wang Jing. He was actually one of Jiang Hu Ten Strong (Now Nine Strong). After losing his wife in a certain incident, he became enraged and massacred over 3 thousand pirates, downsizing the pirate organization into half. This made Forces of Evil target him, and Wang Jing was also labeled as a murder from the Forces of Justice for killing so many, and disappeared. ‘This is bad…’ The young man looked troubled. He didn’t think someone would recognize the name just by him using two swords. ‘Father was right.’ His father always told him that he should never use two swords unless his life was in danger. He heard that his father had disappeared from Yulin for a long time, so if that man recognized him, then it showed that the man had experience in Yulin. ‘What should I do?’ The young man realized that the middle-aged man was stronger than him. He was angry each time he glanced at Gam Miyan’s body, but it seemed like there was no choice. ‘Oh well. Let’s escape.’ He then tried to turn away when someone charged up to him and kicked him. With over tens of kicks coming at him, the young man used his greatsword to defend it. “Huh? You are…” The young man became confused. It was the man with a scar on his face, which the young man thought to be weakest. They seemed to be around the same age, but this man was weaker. “Who told you you can just run away?” Bakgi shouted as he kicked through. He then lowered his body to kick under him, as the greatsword would be hard to defend from below. But the young man struck down another greatsword that was held up to defend. Powerful energy shook his sword as Bakgi’s feet struck it. Bakgi was pushed back and the young man became interested as it was unexpected that Bakgi would be this strong. “…Interesting.” Bakgi frowned as all of his attacks were blocked again. Yeowun smiled. ‘It’s the Bakgi I once knew.’ This Bakgi was just like when Yeowun first saw him at the Demonic Academy. They had been against many strong enemies recently so Bakgi couldn’t show his aggressive and competitive side. ‘I have underestimated him. Maybe I should let Captain Bakgi try this time.’ Yang Danwa also decided to let the fight be. The young man was at the end stage of the super master level, while Bakgi was established, a full stage lower. But the fight between martial artists didn’t always mean it was about power levels. Sometimes, experience and will changed the outcome. ‘Swords are large but he uses it without any issue. Then I have to make him show some openings.’ Bakgi was thinking about how to attack this young man. ‘Ugh.’ But the young man was disappointed. He actually wanted to fight this similarly-aged warrior who seemed to be a good match, but he was concerned about the two others who he couldn’t sense. One of them even recognized the Dual Martial Swords. He shouted at Bakgi. “Hey, Kicker.” “What did you call me?!” “I’m not afraid of you. But I’m busy, so I have to go, okay?” The young man then created sword force qi over his two swords and jumped up. ‘What?’ Bakgi quickly tried to jump in to stop him, but the young man slammed the ground. And with two greatswords banging into the ground, dust clouds kicked up, sending rock debris and sands all over. The young man then turned to escape from the scene. ‘I have to tell my father that there’s someone who recognize… huh?!’ The young man became shocked when he saw another man with long hair standing in the direction he was going to run. It was Chun Yeowun. “You heard what he said. We can’t let you go.” “Dammit!” The young man quickly brought his two greatswords and unleashed a sword formation. Yeowun then reached out his hand against the two great words coming at him. “You think you can block my swords?!” He tried to cut down Yeowun at once with the powerful energy. But… “W-what?! It won’t move!” He couldn’t move even an inch with Yeowun holding the sword with his hand. ‘H-he’s like my father!’ Chapter 315 - A successor (4) Chapter 315: A successor (4) It felt like if he was throwing an egg at a great stone. Throwing an egg to destroy the stone only resulted in broken eggs. Yeowun then brought up his other hand and placed it over the young man’s forehead and rolled his finger to grab it by the thumb. And that looked like… “Finger snap?” “Yeah.” “AAAARGh!” The young man was thrown way to the back, spinning three times in the air before he dropped. He tried to stand up, but he had a concussion and fell down. Yeowun placed his hand over at his stomach to destroy his internal energy, but Yang Danwa quickly stopped him. “My lord! Please stop!” Yeowun stopped and Yang Danwa continued. “This man might not be related to the Blue Sky Brotherhood?” “What makes you think that?” “You may have heard. Martial Dual Sword was shunned by both the Forces of Evil and Justice and disappeared.” Yeowun narrowed his eyes. He knew this too, but Martial Dual Sword’s action that led to his disappearance seemed quite close to what Blue Sky Brotherhood was trying to do now. But as he wasn’t one of the Forces of Justice, it was likely that Yang Danwa had a point. “Let’s ask him who he is and why he’s here.” If he was related to Blue Sky Brotherhood or the Forces of Evil, there was no need to keep him alive. Especially when he saw Feng Muwar and Gam Miyan’s bodies. Yeowun placed a blood point seal on him. “I’ll question him this time, My Lord.” Yeowun was threatening whenever he questioned people, so Yang Danwa decided to do it this time around. Soon, the young man woke up. “Uh… huh?!” He looked down at the rope that tied him. It was drenched in blood, probably the same rope used to hang the dead he saw on the tree. He wasn’t sure why he was being tied around, and he soon realized what happened after feeling the pain on his forehead. “I… I passed out to a finger snap?!” The young man reddened from embarrassment as he realized this. He always heard his father saying he was probably strongest around his age, so he was very proud of it, but he didn’t expect he would pass out from a finger snap made by a man around his age. ‘I was knocked out cold by someone my age, Father.’ And he heard Yang Danwa speaking to him. “Are you awake?” “OH!!” He tried to bring up the energy, but he couldn’t. It seemed all of his body had become numb. “W-what is going on?!” “We sealed your blood point.” “Oh… ugh.” So, he was captured while he passed out. After realizing he was helplessly captured among the enemies, he began to think. After thinking it through for a short moment, he spoke out strongly. “What are you going to do with me? Are you trying to kill me? I wasn’t going to say this but… please don’t kill me!” “…Are you not ashamed to say that?” Yang Danwa became dumbfounded. It was hard to believe that this was the same man who attacked them without hesitation. Yang Danwa had to find out who he was, and why he attacked them or came here. “We could have killed you, but we wanted to ask you who you were first so that we wouldn’t kill an innocent person.” “OH?” The young man realized his answer could cost his life. He had to say the right answers to stay alive. After a short silence, he smiled awkwardly and spoke. “Ask me anything. I will answer everything you want to know if I know the answer that is.” “…” Yang Danwa thought to himself that this young man wasn’t from Blue Sky Brotherhood, nor any others. Most of the warriors at his level of power who were from any organization would choose to die rather than spill information, but he insisted on asking him. “Tell me your name first.” The young man hesitated for a second and spoke. “I’m Bunwang.” “Bunwang?” Yang Danwa frowned as he looked at the man. If this man was the son of Martial Dual Sword just like he expected, he should have used the Wang family name in front. ‘Is he an apprentice?’ That was another possibility. But if he only spoke his name, it was certain that he wanted to hide his background at least. Yang Danwa continued, “Why did you attack us?” Yang Danwa knew that Bunwang attacked them after looking at Gam Miyan’s dead body. Bunwang then glanced at the dead Gam Miyan again and spoke grimly. “…I attacked because she was dead.” It was as expected. Yang Danwa then waived toward the back and Hu Bong walked up to him. He had a sleeping baby in his arms. Bunwang mumbled as he looked at the baby. “That baby…” “So, you knew. It’s Gam Miyan’s son.” Bunwang knew this very well as he had visited Gam Miyan’s shack multiple times already. Yang Danwa spoke with a disappointed voice. “We wanted to save her and her baby, but we failed because of that man.” Yang Danwa then pointed at Feng Muwar’s body. Bunwang frowned at the horrible state the body was in. “You came to save them? What are you talking about?” “We were asked by Gam Miyan’s grandmother to come to rescue her and her baby. But we were trapped so we couldn’t save her.” ‘Wow.’ Yang Danwa shook his head in disappointment and Hu Bong became astonished at Yang Danwa lying so well. They were here to save them, but Gam Miyan was killed by them intentionally. ‘Elder Yang’s good at this.’ Bunwang seemed to be fooled and his eyes shook. He seemed to be thinking that he misunderstood these people. “…Did you really come because of her grandmother?” “Bunwang. It’s us who have you captured. Why would we lie to you?” Yang Danwa laughed and Bunwang became dumbfounded. He regretted attacking them and getting captured when they were not related to Gam Miyan’s death. Bunwang spoke apologetically. “…I misunderstood your intention. I am sorry.” “It’s okay. But why did you come to find Gam Miyan?” Yang Danwa asked. Bunwang replied bitterly. “I needed medicine.” “Medicine?” Yang Danwa became curious. Unlike his guess that Bunwang had some connection to Gam Miyan, Bunwang was actually here to meet a doctor. Yang Danwa then realized that the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor was probably well-trained in medicine and treatment. But Hu Bong shook his head and mumbled, “I’ll see how it goes. You’re a drug addict, aren’t you?” “W-what?!” Bunwang became dumbfounded as he looked back at Hu Bong. Chapter 316 - Cold blood blockage (1) Chapter 316: Cold blood blockage (1) Opium was once made from opium poppy which was spread among the Jianghu and became a problem. The Emperor directly ordered to stop the production of this opium but it was still widely consumed behind the scenes. Those who were addicted to this were labeled as drug addicts. It was natural for Bunwang to become dumbfounded. Yang Danwa shook his head and told Hu Bong to stay out of their conversation. “So, what was the medicine for?” “My… sister is sick.” Bunwang hesitated for second and briefly explained his reasons. “Sister?” “Yes. My sister has a disease that no other doctors can mend, but the medicine made by that woman worked quite well.” If what Bunwang said was true, Gam Miyan was surely trained in medical practice. If she was already medically talented, and if she wasn’t killed by Yeowun, maybe she might have become the future Godly Doctor. “I see. I guess you have the right to be angry when you saw her dead, then.” Yang Danwa spoke understandingly, but he was still eyeing Bunwang suspiciously. This was because Bunwang said he would say everything, but he wasn’t going into the details. ‘He’s hiding all the specific details.’ Of course, there was no torture or threats involved, so maybe this was because Bunwang was relaxed. That’s when Yeowun who had been watching silently walked over. ‘Ugh.’ Bunwang found himself becoming afraid of the man who made him pass out with a simple finger snap. Yeowun seemed to be even younger than him, but the power was enormous, as if Bunwang was in front of his father. ‘Maybe he just looks younger because of body reconstruction.’ He heard that when one that reached the end stage of the superior master level, they would go through body reconstruction to look younger. His father almost swore that no one ever reached the end stage of the super master level warrior other than Bungwang. ‘Yeah. That must be it. He should be way older than he looks.’ Bunwang felt a little better after thinking of it that way. Chun Yeowun then walked up to him and looked down coldly as he spoke. “You misunderstood us.” “What?” “You think we want a friendly chat? Answer correctly if you want to live. If you skip all the details again, I’ll destroy your internal energy and feed you to wild animals.” “Ugh! Isn’t that too… okay.” Chun Yeowun then got back and retreated to his seat and watched Yang Danwa. His threat actually worked. ‘Dammit. That guy is cold-hearted.’ With Yeowun’s cold threat that had no sign of any jokes, Bunwang had to go into the detail he hid at first. He felt like he would die if he didn’t. “…Actually, my sister is in a serious state.” “What disease does your sister have?” “Other people just call it blood blockage, but that woman doctor told me it’s Cold Blood Blockage.” “Cold Blood Blockage?” Yang Danwa became shocked. He seemed genuinely shocked, so Yeowun did not know about the name, became curious and asked Nano, ‘Nano, do you know what that is?’ [There is no recorded data regarding said name of illness.] Nano did not know. Of course, even blood blockage wasn’t what was known in the future. Blood blockage was a disease where the yin side of qi in the body was too strong and it blocked the blood circulation, where many young girls of Yulin suffered. But the Cold Blood Blockage was similar and also quite different. [Elder Yang. Do you know what that is?] Yeowun asked and Yang Danwa explained what he knew. Cold Blood Blockage was a legendary disease known to be uncurable even in Yulin. The person who suffered from the disease was said to acquire an infinite amount of yin qi. But this was also sort of a qi where a patient was said to be allowed to contain an infinite amount of internal energy full of yin qi. It looked good on paper, but the human body had to balance the yin and Yan. With only yin taking over the body, it directly impacted the lifespan. It was known that the person who suffered from the disease would die before the age of 20 due to severe side effects of broken balance. [That’s interesting.] [I have never heard of the disease existing in real life until today.] Yang Danwa heard this was a legend, but if the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor identified it as such, then it wasn’t to be ignored. Bunwang became grim after explaining his sister’s state. ‘I used all of the medicine I had… and her seizure is increasing. What should I do now?’ The reason why Bunwang came here was to get the medicine from Gam Miyan. He then remembered Yang Danwa saying they were here to rescue Gam Miyan because of her grandmother asking them to rescue her. Bunwang asked carefully, “Uh… is the grandmother of that woman also a doctor?” Yang Danwa narrowed his eyes. It wasn’t because he asked the identity of Gam Miyan’s grandmother. It was because of the fact that the man, seemingly the successor of Martial Dual Sword Wang Jing, was in need of an exceptional doctor. [My Lord. Did you hear what he said?] […Maybe we can use it to our advantage.] [Yes.] Chun Yeowun was also thinking of similar things as Yang Danwa. Sister of Bunwang must have a relationship with Wang Jing, so if they helped her, it might be likely that they can be friends with Wang Jing. And even if Bunwang wasn’t Wang Jing’s successor, it looked good enough to befriend such a powerful warrior. Yeowun nodded and Yang Danwa spoke to him. “Yes. Actually she is a better doctor than Gam Miyan ever was. Gam Miyan herself learned from her grandmother.” “Oh! I-is that true!?” Bunwang became excited. This was the good news that he could ever hope for. Bunwang became excited and asked, “I-if it’s not too much, can I ask her to take a look at my…” That’s when a chilling presence of energy unleashed, making everyone around to feel a large explosion fill the entire mountain. All of them turned northwest. “N-no!” Chapter 317 - Cold blood blockage (2) Chapter 317: Cold blood blockage (2) Bunwang, who was tied on the tree, frowned. His internal energy was sealed from circulating, but this unique chilly feeling was familiar. It was the sign of his sister going berserk. ‘No way. It’s only been four hours!’ It hadn’t been that long since Bunwang gave her the last dose of medicine. He thought it would last at least a day, but it was frustrating that he felt the energy which proved that her state was going worse. ‘It’s close.’ Yeowun narrowed his eyes. “M-master! What is this energy?” Yang Danwa became shocked. The energy was coming from the northwest, near a mountain hill. It was close, but it was still astounding to feel such cold energy clearly coming towards them. Bunwang shouted frantically. “I-it’s my sister!” “Sister?” “She’s going berserk!” “This energy is coming from your sister?” Yang Danwa became grim. He heard the legend that the one who suffered from Cold Blood Blockage would have an infinite amount of yin qi, but this was more than he imagined. He didn’t think that the energy would be so vast that they could feel it clearly from such a distance. “I have to go take my sister down, or it will become dangerous. Please let me know.” “H-hmm… I guess this amount of energy is surely dangerous for her.” ‘…’ Bunwang couldn’t correct Yang Danwa, the danger wasn’t only directly from his sister in this case. He couldn’t even imagine what his sister would do if she went full berserk. That’s when Yeowun unsealed Bunwang. Bunwang’s internal energy began to circulate and revolve around and Bunwang, ripping the rope that tied him apart. Yeowun ordered, “Take the lead.” “Okay.” Bunwang nodded and charged out toward the direction, while Yeowun and Bakgi followed. Yeowun ordered Yang Danwa and Hu Bong to stay behind with the baby. After moving through the mountain for about three miles, they soon arrived at the place. It was late spring, with trees turning green but the area around was like a harsh winter. Everything was cold and all the bushes turned white from being frozen. All the leaves froze up and dropped to the ground, only to be shattered and even the branches were frozen solid. This area of this coldness was only growing toward the west. Toward the center, Yeowun and his group ran straight in. “Hah…” Bakgi was astounded each time he let out his breath when it turned white. This was quite astonishing as they were far out from winter. And the coldness only grew stronger as they walked toward the center. They would have died from the coldness if they didn’t control their temperature through internal energy. Soon, they were at the center of the coldness. “Ah…” Yeowun moaned silently as he found a beautiful woman at the center of the coldness, with long silver hair and pale white skin even whiter than Chun Yeowun. The unique beauty even felt mysterious in some way. The woman was moving somewhere with her eyes not focusing correctly. And what was more surprising was… ‘The energy is vast.’ The energy that revolved around her was so powerful that the air around was freezing. And it froze up debris that was floating as it followed her path. The ground that she walked past was frozen white, creating a path of white frost as she walked through. “Yogun!!!!” Bunwang shouted toward the silver-haired woman. Her sister’s name was Yogun. But the woman seemed like she couldn’t hear and kept on walking. “She’s gone mad. I’ll have to seal her down so I can block the energy flow.” “Wait…” Yeowun felt something was off and tried to stop Bunwang, but Bunwang had already started running toward his sister. Bunwang already stopped her sister from going berserk multiple times. But the amount of power unleashed this time was much greater. ‘I-it’s too cold!’ He was protecting his body by using all of his energy, but it was still too cold. “Yogun! It’s me! Wake up!” Buwang called out to her at close range, but Yogun kept on walking. ‘Ugh.’ Bunwang then walked past the ice debris floating around her and tried to seal her down. ‘I’m sorry. I’ll have to put you to sleep for a moment.’ He felt his skin being cut off from the ice debris that he walked past. After going through all that, he reached out to his sister to put her down. “UHG!” Yogun suddenly turned against Bunwang and looked straight at him. Her eyes had turned white. She was his sister, but it was still a scary sight. “Y-Yogun!” Yogun then grabbed Bunwang’s wrist. At that moment, powerful yin energy began to seep into Bunwang and his wrist began to freeze up. “Aaaaargh! Y-Yogun! Stop!! Stop it!” He tried to bring up internal energy to defend, but nothing worked. Bunwang shouted at his sister to stop, but she didn’t listen. ‘D-dammit! I have no choice!’ Bunwang figured he might freeze to death, so sent internal energy into his foot to kick her away. He still couldn’t use his greatsword against his sister. But his choice was wrong. His kick did not reach Yogun as a barrier formed with ice stopped his kick. “W-what?!” Yogun reached out toward Bunwang and held his other shoulder. Cold energy seeped into his shoulder and Bunwang became terrified. “Y-Yogun! Aaaaaaaargh!” The sharp pain of his body freezing up made Bunwang scream. Yogun went berserk and didn’t seem to recognize her brother. At this rate, Bunwang was going to die at hands of his own sister. It was then. Someone broke through ice debris surrounding her and came down from the air. Yogun’s whitened eyes turned against the person. “You should stop here.” It was Chun Yeowun. Yogun took her hands off from Bunwang’s wrist and swung at Yeowun. But Yeowun easily snatched her hand. Yogun tried to send cold energy down to Yeowun to attack. “W-watch out!” Bunwang shouted. However, Yogun seemed to be shocked when the powerful energy was blocking her energy from entering the body. Her wrist that was grabbed even became hot. “I told you to stop.” Yeowun spoke and quickly thrust his palm at her chest. Chapter 318 - Cold blood blockage (3) Chapter 318: Cold blood blockage (3) Yeowun’s left hand reached toward Yogun’s chest to seal her down. But when his hand almost reached her chest, white frost gathered up and created an ice barrier around her. Yeowun narrowed his eyes. ‘This is interesting.’ Yeowun stopped and sent energy into his hand to penetrate through the ice barrier at once. But Yogun then let go of Bunwang in that short moment and swung her hand against Yeowun. This time, it wasn’t done to freeze him directly. With his hand swinging through the air, cold air stormed up and pushed Bunwang and Chun Yeowun toward the back. “Aaaaargh!” Bunwang, who almost had two of his arms frozen, couldn’t balance himself and was thrown back. Bakgi ran toward him and grabbed him before he fell. “Ugh!” Bakgi did grab him, but the energy still pushed both of them way back. ‘This is powerful energy.’ Bakgi knew the power was strong just by looking at the air churning around, but this was beyond his imagination. He had to drag it out almost 20 steps to stop. “T-thank you.” Bunwang showed his gratitude. Bakgi then realized Bunwang was very straight in the way he expressed his emotions. “Ugh…!” Bunwang then looked down at his frozen arms. He protected them with his internal energy, but the skin was completely frozen. Bakgi looked at Bunwang in pain and silently sent his energy into the frozen body part to help him increase his temperature. “You’re a good man.” Bakgi raised his eyebrow at Bunwang’s complement and answered, “Stop jabbering and concentrate on sending out the energy.” “Y-yeah. But we have no time to waste. It will be worse if we don’t stop my sister.” His sister went berserk once before, but his father was here, so it was possible to seal her down before her yin qi was completely exposed. But now, his father was not here. ‘Replenishing her yang through medicine is only temporary. You need to solve it with a definite solution or she will soon go berserk.’ Gam Miyan warned so, saying that she wasn’t good enough to heal his sister. Gam Miyan said only the Godly Doctor would be able to heal her, so his father had been traveling through the lands of Yulin for over an year. Yet he couldn’t find her yet. Of course, his father had to hide his identity so it only made things harder. “I didn’t think it would be this bad.” This amount of energy was beyond what Bunwang could ever be prepared for, and required his father to solve it. But that’s when he saw something amazing. “W-what?’ Chun Yeowun, who Bunwang thought would have been thrown back, was only pushed back five steps and was using his white blade to defend the cold energy. ‘I expected him to be strong but…’ This was more than he thought. He didn’t think it to be that way, but he kept comparing Yeowun to his father. Bakgi mumbled, “If he can’t stop it, then we are in trouble. But I doubt that will be the case.” Bakgi couldn’t imagine Chun Yeowun losing ever since they met. Even if he was against Cold Blood Blockage, Bakgi believed that there Chun Yeowun could lose to no one. ‘So he considers that man like how I consider my father.’ Bunwang saw the strong trust and concentrated on himself to send out the cold energy. As Yeowun continued to withstand the cold energy, Yogun’s white eyes began to turn transparent. Then the air around her began to grow more violent and created white frost all over the place. The frost that only surrounded her now began to increase in radius. Yeowun frowned. ‘Is her energy really infinite?’ It was hard to believe that her energy was only growing even when it was already so powerful. Yogun then reached out toward the air. The frost gathered up in the air and became hundreds of ice particles. “Ugh..” Yeowun’s grimness turned to surprise. Yogun was showing terrifying skills; it was hard to believe that she was just going mad. “W…what is that?” Bakgi and Bunwang also became shocked. They weren’t sure if they were actually looking at a normal person. Yeowun was now trapped within the ice particles that circled him. ‘How can he protect himself from that?’ Bunwang thought about himself being inside and concluded that he would die if he was in there. That’s when Yogun gestured grabbing her hand and hundreds of ice immediately came down on Yeowun. “N-NO!” Bakgi shouted with shock. But it was too late. Hundreds of ice flew from all sides, trying to skew Yeowun. But Yeowun’s choice of action was very simple. ‘Nano, activate Augmented Reality. Show me the pathway of all ice particles coming in.’ [Activating Augmented Reality on user’s sight.] Nano’s voice rang through his head and Yeowun saw augmented reality being activated over his eyes. [Calculating the direction of all projectiles and projecting.] White light began to beam through the ice particles and soon created red lines of the ice particles’ movements. ‘I see it.’ With each direction being drawn, Yeowun was able to see the way out, whereas it wasn’t visible with naked eyes. Yeowun jumped out and charged through. Becoming a supreme level warrior made him very fast, and he saw ice particles coming at him slowly in his eyes. Yeowun swung his White Dragon Blade to destroy the ice particles on the way. He couldn’t stand still to protect himself from every ice particle, so he chose to charge forward and only defend against those coming from the front and the sides. His choice was correct. All the ice particles were shattered away as soon as they touched the blade. Yeowun charged through ice prison coming down upon him. “I-it’s amazing!” Bunwang shouted with astonishment. He didn’t think Yeowun would try to charge through like that. It was a bold move. As Yeowun shot past it, he was relieved that his guess was correct. ‘The ice particles do not have energy in them.’ Chapter 319 - Cold blood blockage (4) Chapter 319: Cold blood blockage (4) The way it worked looked like Air Sword, but it was different. Yogun was just forming ice through her vast energy and threw at him. This would have been different if all of that ice wielded energy. Yogun’s eyes shook as she noticed Yeowun coming straight toward her. She reached out with her another hand and gestured as if she raised it. Then the ground began to shake and a large ice wall was pulled up from the ground. “I-I can’t believe it!” Yogun’s powers that she used while her silver hair fluttered was astonishing. It looked like she was an ice witch. But this skill actually worked against her. Her sight was blocked and all ice particles that went after Yeowun stopped it. ‘This is the chance.’ Yeowun then swung his White Dragon Blade toward the ice wall. Blue force qi easily cut down the ice wall and made it fall to the ground. Yeowun then shot past through the wall. “?!” “You’re late!” Yogun tried to increase powerful energy to defend, but Yeowun’s hand was faster this time. His left hand struck her chest’s blood point. With the blood point stopping the flow of energy, the coldness began to subside. ‘What kind of yin qi can be this strong?’ Yeowun never used more than fifty percent of his energy even when he sealed a superior master level warrior. But he had to use 70% and he still couldn’t stop all of her energy. Her body still finched and Yeowun increased his energy to 90% so that she would pass out. That’s when Yogun’s eyelids closed and she passed out. Yeowun sighed in relief. “Whew…” He finally calmed her down. Bakgi and Bunwang quickly came up to them and Bunwang spoke excitedly. “I didn’t think you would really put her down! It’s amazing!” He was ready to see his sister going berserk until his father returned, but he was worried that she might die before his father came. It was fortunate that she was stopped before she used all of her energy. ‘He’s not in good shape either.’ Bunwang’s right arm was moving awkwardly. Bakgi helped him recover by sending energy, but Bunwang’s skin now turned purple, so it seemed that treatment was necessary. But Yogun was in worse shape. With the flow of yin qi being blocked, her veins were expanding. This meant her yin qi was still going berserk within her. Yeowun spoke to Bakgi. “We have to move down to the outpost quickly.” It was likely that the seal would be broken if she was left like this. Bakgi nodded and Yeowun picked up Yogun over his shoulder. Her yin qi was still coming out, so it was too dangerous for Bakgi to hold her. “Uh, what are you going to do with my sister?” “I’m taking her to Gam Miyan’s grandmother.” “Oh! B-but even if her grandmother is a good doctor, I don’t think she can treat my sister in that state…” Bunwang spoke worryingly. It seemed she now needed proper treatment as all other things just looked like a temporary solution. Yeowun then spoke to Bunwang. “Well, if the Godly Doctor cannot heal her, then she’s done. We have to hurry, so stay close.” “W-what? The Godly Doctor?!” Yeowun then jumped out. Bunwang was dumbfounded and Bakgi spoke to him. “…Gam Miyan was the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor.” “What?!” Buwang became shocked. The Godly Doctor that he and his father had searched for long time was actually Gam Miyan’s grandmother. He was also dumbfounded that Gam Miyan never told him that fact, even when he went to her multiple times for the medicine. ‘She should’ve told me earlier!’ The reason why Gam Miyan did not tell them this was because it was Gam Miyan’s medicine that stopped Bunwang’s father from trying to wipe out the Yongho Family. “There’s no time to be shocked. Let’s go.” Bakgi spoke and ran and Bunwang followed them. He had to save his sister first. As soon as Yeowun got back to the others at the mountain, they went down to the docks. They just needed to cross the Yellow River and go south toward the Demonic Cult’s outpost at the northern end of the Honam Region. The Godly Doctor Gam Rosu, Mun Ku, and Hou Sangwha must have been waiting there. It was a dark night they probably couldn’t get a boat, but luckily they were able to find a boat that went across the river. After crossing the river, they all moved through the stepping skill and soon arrived at the outpost of the Demonic Cult. “Greetings, my Lord! Glory to the Demonic Cult!!” “Glory to the Demonic Cult!!” It was now early morning, but Yeowun’s visit had every cultist of the outpost coming out and bowing down toward their Lord. Hundreds of cultists bowing down made their entrance grand. ‘L-lord of the Demonic Cult?!’ Bunwang became shocked. He did become curious when Yeowun moved into the Honam Region which was controlled by the Demonic Cult, and even went straight into their outpost. He didn’t imagine that Yeowun was the Lord of the Demonic Cult itself. ‘I knew it. He must have gone through body reconstruction.’ The misunderstanding only grew stronger. Yogun wasn’t in good shape so Yeowun quickly asked where the Godly Doctor was at. “She’s at the guesthouse right now. This way please.” One of the cultists guided them through the outpost and Yeowun followed. He then talked to Yang Danwa and Bakgi. “You two wait in another building with the baby and the body.” “I see. Understood, my lord.” “Yes, my lord.” They had to treat Yogun first, so there was no time to explain what happened at the Yongho Family’s village to Gam Rosu yet. Yeowun made Yang Danwa and Bakgi wait outside so that it could be dealt with later. “Oh, there they are.” The cultist pointed at the building patio where Gam Rosu, Mun Ku, and Hou Sangwha were eating breakfast. Mun Ku and Hou Sangwha were protecting her closely at all times. “Oh! My lord!” Mun Ku was glad to see Yeowun appearing in morning and got up immediately and ran down. “Huh?” She then noticed the silver-haired beautiful woman Yogun. She frowned and asked, “…W-who is that?!” Chapter 320 - Cold blood blockage (5) Chapter 320: Cold blood blockage (5) There was a distinct scent to every person, whether it was coming from the skin or the clothes. It was something that could only be recognized by others. As such, qi also had a unique kind of feeling that warriors who were trained in internal energy could feel its difference. Its sense to sense such energy increased one became more powerful. Warriors at the supreme master level interacted with the energy of the environment so it was possible to sense the trace of qi, and the cold yin qi made a trace across the Yellow River. There was one man who was running through with enormous speed. He had curly long hair and a short beard. His face was filled with wrinkles. He was running through while having his hands gathered at the back, but his body did lose balance as he ran through. ‘Southwest.’ The trace of qi was going in that direction. He was running through, but he couldn’t yet get to the culprit who kidnapped his children. ‘Whoever it is, I will never forgive you. I will have you pay the price of taking my children!’ His eyes were cold but he was boiling from the inside. When Wang Jing returned from his travel, he found his hideout destroyed with ice all over the place, and he realized his daughter had gone berserk and was stopped by an unknown warrior and became concerned. ‘…That place.’ He then saw a large mansion in his eyes. On the gate, it read the ‘Demonic Cult’ on it. The cold trace continued into the outpost of the Demonic Cult. The man grimaced. ‘They were behind it!’ It was unexpected, but he didn’t care. There was no one he feared in this world anyway, so he charged toward the outpost. At the same time, Gam Rosu was tending to Yogun, the beautiful silverhaired woman. “Hmm…” Gam Rosu had to stop eating her breakfast and tend to her patient as Yeowun said it was urgent. Her veins were expanding and cold air emanated from her, showing that Yogun wasn’t in good shape. ‘…” Mun Ku didn’t look all that well either. She asked Yeowun who she was, but Yeowun just said Yogun was in danger and quickly asked the Godly Doctor to watch over her. Mun Ku was now building up the imagination within her. Yogun was the most beautiful woman that Mun Ku had ever seen in her life, so she couldn’t just consider her a patient. ‘Why did the lord bring her here?’ She was very curious and concerned. It was Hu Bong who answered her questions instead. Hu Bong realized Mun Ku was worried about a mysterious beautiful silver-haired woman and explained what happened. […So he brought her here to have them become friendly with us.] [Oh! I see. Whew… yeah, haha. I knew he wouldn’t be like that and all… hehe.] She brightened up when he told her. The Yeowun she knew was never was tempted by the beauty of a woman. It was embarrassing that she became jealous. [Ah!] But what Hu Bong said later made Mun Ku grim again. [It’s not certain yet, but I read from some book… that Cold Blood Blockage will need the opposite energy, or a man with strong yang energy to keep the balance.] [Keep balance? Yang?] [You know… like how a man and woman find love… and the man’s burning st…] ‘?!’ [What?!] Mun Ku’s face reddened as if she would explode and told Hu Bong to stop. Hu Bong always had all kinds of weird knowledge. It that seemed Hu Bong was actually teasing her as he was smiling. ‘He was playing with me! Ugh.’ “Hah…” Gam Rosu sighed. The air around Yogun was harshly cold. After enduring such coldness, Gam Rosu finished tending to her and spoke. “Cold Blood Blockage…” The Godly Doctor knew right away what the disease was. “…I never thought I would witness this disease ever again my life.” It seemed like it wasn’t her first time tending to a patient with said disease. Bunwang asked worriedly, “Is it bad?” “I don’t know who did this, but someone created a medicine to replenish her yang qi. That prolonged her life. Honestly, it’s hard to live past 20 with this disease.” ‘Your granddaughter made that.’ The one who made the medicine was Gam Miyan, but Bunwang did not say it. Yeowun told him to stay silent about most of the things he knew if Buwang wanted to get help. “What you just said… did you heal someone with this disease before?” Gam Rosu became hesitant at Yeowun’s question and shook her head. “What?! What are you talking about?” Bunwang trusted that the Godly Doctor, the best doctor in Yulin, would be able to heal his sister. But Gam Rosu’s reaction seemed very untrustworthy. Bunwang raised his voice and Gam Rosu explained, “Hey, young man. Listen to me til the end.” “?” “I first came across this disease 30 years ago. I knew how this could be healed at the time, of course.” “You know how to heal it?” “Do you think I wouldn’t know? It’s just that this disease can be passed down in martial artists who train in internal energy, so that’s why it’s hard.” 30 years ago, Gam Rosu met a woman with Cold Blood Blockage. Her hair turned silver with her yin qi going mad, so Gam Rosu studied hard and finally found out how to deal with it. But this method required more than just medical practice. It required internal energy that was equally powerful in yang qi to penetrate the blocked blood circulation within it. “Do you think it’s easy to find ones with such yang qi that can deal with an infinite amount of yin qi?” “So, you couldn’t find one?” “…I actually did.” The Godly Doctor used all of her connections to find a powerful warrior, the leader of Sorim, Monk Gu Hur to help. Gu Hur was a respected monk of all martial artists from the Forces of Justice who valued life over all things and accepted to help. “W-why did you fail then?” “Monk Gu Hur had powerful yang qi within him. But it was the woman’s body that couldn’t endure it.” When Gu Hur’s powerful energy penetrated through the nine blockages within the woman’s body, powerful yang qi began to affect her body adversely. “So, she died with all of her veins exploding through the energy. It wasn’t the monk’s fault, but he resigned from leadership after blaming himself.” “Huh? I think I heard about that incident.” Mun Ku heard this when she was young from her grandfather Mun Yun. The incident of Monk Gu Hur, one of the top five warriors and leader of Sorim, resigning from the leadership and disappearing from Yulin was huge news. “It was the first time I could not save someone in my long years of medical practice.” There was no use even for the Godly Doctor. If she was a martial artist and knew about internal energy, she would have noticed the problem but this was first for her, so she couldn’t save the person’s life. “Then what you thought of is wrong. You don’t know how to heal her.” Bunwang spoke and Gam Rosu shook her head. “I can’t call myself doctor if I didn’t study on what I failed to cure once. I found out the problem with my treatment later.”
