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

nShe slammed the message in her hand onto the table.

nThe message detailed what had happened at Yunnan Castle.

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

nMm.

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

nHe groaned before starting to speak.

nDo you think that what is written there is true?

nOne corner of Zhuge Mi Ryeos lips curled up.

nCreating 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?

nHaaa.

nThe Alliance leader sighed before shaking his head.

nNo. 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.

nAlliance leader-nim. We must focus.

nZhuge Mi Ryeos eyes sank low.

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

nShe 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.

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

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

nFurthermore, 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.

nJust as it has been all this time.

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

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

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

nMm.

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

nThe Alliance leaders face turned serious.

nNot just the commoners, what do you think will happen once the Martial artists see young master Kims power?

n.

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

n.

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

nFear was visible in Zhuge Mi Ryeos eyes.

nPower. 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-

nThey will worship him.

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

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

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

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

nHis own powers.

nAn aura to dominate the area around him.

nFurthermore, his virtuous character.

nHe 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.

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

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

nHe did it despite coughing up blood himself.

nNow, he even rescued the commoners in Yunnan Castle.

nThe numerous lives he has saved

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

nFurthermore, 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.

nIm 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.

nThat is why it is scary.

nYes sir, that is scary.

nFear was even more visible in Zhuge Mi Ryeos eyes.

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

nThe Alliance leader clenched his eyes shut.

nHowever, the Chief Advisor opened her eyes even wider.

nHowever, this cannot be.

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

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

nYes.

nHainan. I will go there.

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

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

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

nShe had not considered it to be a big deal, but looking at it now, the Heavenly Demon had used such a laughable excuse to hide his true intentions.

nSince the Heavenly Demon has reached the Profound Realm, he has probably clearly felt young master Kims true powers. And by being by his side-

nHe probably figured out that it was the only way to deal with the situation as best as possible.

nZhuge Mi did not say that part out loud.

nThis was not the time to sit aloof in a high position and observe the changing field. She needed to quickly get to the scene as quickly as possible.

nHistory was being written out there.

nI will leave behind a group to prepare for emergencies but take everybody else to Hainan.

nI will allow it.

nZhuge Mi Ryeo quickly packed up and immediately headed toward Guangdong.

nShe would meet young master Kim in Guangdong before they got on a ship to head out to Hainan island.

nWhile that was going on

nHoo hoo. As expected, my master and his close friends are truly different.

nThe Divergent Coalition leader, Sima Pyeong, was already heading toward Hainan.

nNext to him was the trashy son of his, Sima Jung, and Toonka, well, Noble Warrior Du Kang in this world.

nSima Pyeong had gathered any and all strong individuals of the Divergent Coalition.

nHoo hoo hoo.

nHe was gently chuckling but his gaze was cold.

nHe spoke to his subordinates.

nWe need to kill as many of the Blood Cult as possible. That is the only way for us to survive.

nHis cold voice made the members of the Divergent Coalition cheer.

nMm.

nToonka watched this and scratched his head before not thinking much about it.

nI guess I can properly fight now! Kahahahahahahaha!

nToonka was just happy about that.

n* * *

nCale handed a candied fruit to Raon and asked Chief Eunuch Wi.

nHas a decision been made about what to do?

nThe decision is as you asked, young master-nim.

nChief Eunuch Wi looked at Raon, who suddenly appeared in the air, took the candied fruit, and was eating it all cutely, and then continued to speak.

nWe will stealthily send most of the forces to Hainan while a portion of the forces will openly start moving toward Nanman.

nNanman was a trap by the Blood Cult.

nCales side was planning on making it look as if they fell for this trap.

nThat way, they could hide the martial artists heading toward Hainan for a little longer.

nThe forces heading toward Hainan will be revealed as soon as we get on the ships, but Having them revealed as slowly as possible would be best.

nChief Eunuch Wi nodded at Cales comment before continuing to speak.

nAs for the martial artists residing in Yunnan, they will prepare for a bit and start heading toward Nanman two days from now.

nCale nodded his head.

nThat sounds great. They should know that Yunnan was destroyed as well.

nYes, young master-nim.

nCale looked around.

nThen we should already be at Nanman by the time the other martial artists start heading there.

nA smile appeared on his face.

nWe are heading there right now.

nBy the time the Blood Cultists in Nanman look at the movement of the other martial artists and prepare to respond, Cales group should already be at the Nanman castle.

nA core element of Cales plan this time was to smack them in the back while they were less prepared.

nThe people who received his gaze slightly nodded their heads and responded in agreement.

nIts great to move in small numbers.

nThere were no martial artists with them this time.

nIt was only Cales group.

nOf course, the Pinnacle Demon, Sword Saint, Heavenly Demon, Tang Yu, Sage Demon, and others were going to lead the other martial artists over, but

nIt had been a while since their group had moved on their own.

nHuman! Are we heading off on our own to destroy a castle?

nDestroy it?

nCale shook his head.

nDestroy it? We are just going for a visit.

nA smile appeared on his face.

nHuman, you are smiling like the crown prince again!

nOf course, it wasnt just Cales group who was going.

nHe moved his gaze.

n!

nThe young Blood Demon candidate, Hoya, was shaking as he avoided Cales gaze.

nHis reaction made the other candidate, Yoon, bite down on her lips and lower her head.

nHey Hoya, Yoon. Please take good care of us.

nThe young Blood Demon candidates could not respond.

nKeke.

nCale looked at Choi Jung Soo, who was letting out a weird laugh. Choi Jung Soo slowly avoided his gaze.

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

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

nPaaaat-

nThey naturally used teleportation magic.

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

nAnd-

nIt really is nice because you guys know magic.

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

nWe arrived right away thanks to you.

nCale looked at the bottom of the mountain.

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

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

nIt was more like a large manor than a castle.

nCale smacked the shoulder of the person next to him.

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

nWaa.

nHoya let out a weird noise before answering.

nHis 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.

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

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

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

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

nHis actual name is Baek Ga Eok.

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

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

nNumber 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.

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

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

nIt sounds like he is someone we must capture alive.

nRight?

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

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

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

nSmile.

nHe then smiled.

nWhat is up with him?

nYoons pupils were shaking.

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

nShe had watched as an unconscious Hoya was dragged out.

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

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

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

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

nGulp.

nAs Yoon gulped

nCale spoke warmly in a gentle voice.

nLets 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?

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

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

nHe smiled and introduced Yoon to a few people.

nThose people will very quietly capture Old man Baek alive.

nRon, Sui Khan, and Choi Han.

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

nOkay, Yoon. You can do it?

nYoon couldnt answer so Cale spoke again.

nHey Yoon. Answer.

nYoon opened her mouth.

nI, I can do it

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

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

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