Episode 29
I scratched the back of my head and opened my mouth.
“I’m sure you know everything about my actions since I left Guangxi.”
“You may not have done anything yourself. “If the forces behind you acted as previously discussed.”
“I swear, I am not a demon.”
“So, prove it.”
“How on earth are you supposed to prove it? “Is there any law in the world that requires a suspect to prove his or her innocence?”
“Don’t you think the circumstantial evidence is too clear to just dismiss it as a serious case?”
“You are speaking directly from your own mouth. “It’s heart disease.”
“Don’t hang around by the tail of your horse.”
A sigh came out of my mouth.
They probably wouldn’t believe me no matter what I said here.
“Isn’t the bottom line that you can’t trust me?”
“Yes.”
“Then what will you do? “There would be no one else to treat her but me.”
“I’ll have to catch you, detain you, and then negotiate separately with the Demon Cult leader.”
“Didn’t you say you were going to kill me earlier?”
“I would have told you not to hold your tongue and not hang around.”
Any further conversation was meaningless.
It was not that I did not know their position.
But there was no reason for me to sympathize with their situation.
There was even no need to show a cooperative attitude even at the expense of irrationality.
“If you say so, then do so.”
“what?”
“As you said, try to subdue me. “If I can.”
“If you say that, do you think we can’t do it?”
“yes.”
“······?”
The masked man’s eyes were grotesquely distorted.
I stood with my back against the wall with my arms crossed and smiled.
In fact, even though he was smiling on the outside, he was quite angry on the inside.
‘They say you have no regrets.’
I thought it was a good idea to have an escort with me.
If I had come here alone, I would have had to submit to their coercion.
I looked up at the ceiling and muttered.
“You can leave now.”
“i get it.”
Quang!

When the flow cloud body method reaches its polarity, it becomes possible to completely erase the presence of the caster.
There were few new methods that were as useful for tailing and infiltration.
What if the person practicing divine law is an absolute expert?
‘Even if he were a supreme expert, he wouldn’t be able to detect the target’s presence.’
Before coming here, I visited Dokgo Woojin and asked him to escort me to the amjung.
[Haomun?]
[yes. I was contacted by Haomun… I don’t have a good feeling.]
[So are you asking me to secretly follow you and watch over you?]
[yes. I’m sorry that I seem to be dragging you into my student’s personal affairs.]
[never mind. Since I have just learned the White Lightning God Art, I cannot demonstrate my skills, so it is natural for me to feel anxious. I’ll do whatever it takes to escort you.]
[thank you.]
Dokgo Woo-jin, who heard the general situation, readily expressed his intention to agree and decided to follow along, observing the situation from a certain distance.
Quang!
And until now, no one has noticed the existence of Dokgo Woojin.
Even Haomun’s elites are skilled at tailing, infiltration, and hiding.
“what!”
The faces of the people in black stiffened.
They were surprised to learn that someone unknown had been hiding all this time, deceiving their senses.
One side of the ceiling broke and debris fell down into the rainwater.
Then, a man glided through the air like a ghost.
‘······Neunggongheodo (凌空虛道)?’
I couldn’t help but be a little surprised by this.
It was clearly empty space with nothing in it, but the sight of it sliding down smoothly as if it were on an slanted platform was just like a fairy tale in a story.
The man who landed on the ground without a sound looked around and asked.
“Now what should I do?”
“I want you to subdue me without killing me if possible. Everyone here.”
“What about the Haomen Islands outside?”
“You don’t really have to worry about it. They were probably ordered not to react even if there was some commotion inside. “Of course, if something happens and they rush in, please suppress them in the same way.”
“You can’t miss a single person, right?”

“It doesn’t matter if you miss it. Because I’m not trying to exterminate you. Rather, please be careful not to let the patient get into a fight.”
“Of course.”
The man, Dokgo Woojin, began to move.
Haomundo hurriedly stood up and fought back with weapons drawn, but they were no match for the enemy.
Wow!
In the blink of an eye, Dokgo Woojin’s fist got stuck in the solar plexus of the man in black with a splint on his arm.
The pupils of the man in black, whose back was bent like a shrimp, were greatly dilated.
The bido held in both hands fell helplessly and rolled on the floor.
Dokgo Woo-jin, who took possession of the black man’s blood sword and threw it to the floor, immediately aimed for the next target.
“I’m dead!”
A man with a cloth wrapped around his side waved his arms hysterically.
A stealthy yet sharp herbivore flew in, aiming for Dokgo Woojin’s neck and side.
It was a vegetarian meal that I had experienced first-hand at Hwawolru before.
I still remember that it was difficult to deal with because it had a technique that instantly erased the presence of a sword.
Yep!
Of course, it was not a talent that could be used by an absolute expert.
In the blink of an eye, the two blades were cut in half.
At the same time, the man in black fell headfirst to the floor.
Shin Hyeong, who was shaking, soon became happy and relaxed.
“Please subdue me instead of killing me if possible.”
“I just lost consciousness.”
Would a great tiger that jumped into a rabbit hole be like that?
As I watched the people in black falling apart even with light punches, I felt sorry for them.
“Damn it!”
“Catch that guy!”
Several people in black rushed towards me.
It seemed like they were thinking of solving the situation by taking hostages.
“Wow.”
The same goes for the evil ghost, and the people in black in front of me.
I don’t know what kind of confidence you have to show your back in front of an absolute expert.
Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!
Dokgo Woojin snapped his fingers in succession, and all of their movements suddenly stopped.
I tried to tap the forehead of the skinny man in black who came right next to me with my index finger.
Then the man in black rolled his eyes and tore down the new model.
It seemed that the acupuncture points had been suppressed by the wind.
It took less than half an hour for the fight to end.
I pushed the people in black who had been suppressed and were scattered around the room to a corner, and pulled a chair in front of the bed and sat down.
The man with the arm splint must have regained consciousness before he knew it and shouted with a distorted face.
“How dare you do something like this and get away with it?”
“You were the one who crossed the line first.”
“gibberish!”
“They arbitrarily misunderstood, called me out, and threatened me. “What on earth are you telling me to do?”
“Soon, what happened here will be relayed to Lord Mun.”
“I guess so.”
“You’d better be careful. No matter where you are or what you do, the executioners in the text will be looking for your life!”
“······.”
I sighed heavily and got up from the chair.
“People.”
He snapped his wrist and stood in front of the man in black.
And then I raised my fist.
Sigh! Wow! Sigh!
The merciless beating began.
There was no need to increase my strength.
The man in black, whose blood blade was suppressed, was unable to resist and was hit by my punches and kicks.
“When I say something, please listen.”
The sound of a light beating rang out continuously.
The sensation of my flesh being crushed and my bones breaking reached my fingertips.
I was able to reflect on it again and again.
In Moorim, power is everything.
If I hadn’t felt anxious and asked Dokgo Woojin for help, things wouldn’t have turned out as easily as they did now.
I don’t know, but I’m sure you’ve gone through quite a bit of hardship.
Thinking like that made me even more excited.
“Just say it, don’t say it.”
Finally, the black man’s eyes rolled back.
I shook my fist with a tired expression.
The tenacity of not letting out a single scream even before collapsing with foam at the mouth was worthy of recognition.
‘In the meantime, none of them have any changes in their expressions. No, is it true that I erased my expression?’
The rest of the people in black stared at the stunned man with emotionless faces.
The angry look that had been interrogating me until just now was nowhere to be seen.
‘Even that was a made-up feeling.’
I got a little goosebumps.
Humans are inherently strong against the weak and weak against the strong.
There are many people who can be calm when they are in the position of a predator.
But what about the other way around?
‘It’s a bit scary at this point.’
When the people in black showed their force, they all erased their expressions from their faces as if they had made a promise.
Since they were in the position of the prey, they actually hid their emotions.
It was by no means a natural reaction.
He had probably been trained since childhood to prepare for situations like the present.
‘Tsk, I don’t like it.’
Still, it would have been a warning.
I said, wiping the blood off my hands.
“When you return later, please tell Lord Moon this. “I will leave this matter as a debt.”
The situation was different from when the fight took place at Hwawollu.
At that time, I made a provocation and induced an attack.
On the other hand, responsibility for this incident lay entirely with Hao Wen.
I was in a position where I had been falsely accused.
I couldn’t sleep because I felt so unfair without receiving compensation.
“······.”
There was no answer.
It wasn’t something I said hoping for an answer.
‘Of course, collecting the debt is only possible when the misunderstanding is resolved.’
I sat down on the chair again and looked down at the bed.
The way to resolve the misunderstanding was simple.
All I had to do was to completely cure the woman in front of me.
If they weren’t stupid, they would have known.
What is the Demon Cult’s aim?
The sect leader wants to demand something from Hao Wen by holding Hao Wen Zhou’s favorite disciple hostage.
But what if I heal her before the negotiations even get underway?
‘I show through my actions that the Demon Cult’s goals and my goals do not coincide.’
I picked up a book lying on the edge of the bed.
The words written on the cover caught my eye.
Taeeul Shin Gong (太乙神功).
It was a name that felt familiar to me.
One of the five martial arts books written by Ma Jyoju.
I turned the pages and skimmed through the contents.
A smile was drawn on my face as the content matched what I remembered.
‘where.’
After putting down the book, I grabbed the woman’s arm, which looked like a skinny old tree, and checked her pulse.
He closed his eyes and breathed in his energy to check the condition of the woman’s body.
‘But the blood vessels haven’t died yet.’
I nodded once and used my index finger to point out several acupuncture points.
Then the woman, whose shoulders were shaking, lifted her eyelids with difficulty.
“What are you doing!”
A cry of exasperation erupted from behind me, but I didn’t care.
This method of forcing the patient to become conscious came with quite a few side effects, but now was not the time to worry about such trivial matters.
Because mental illness cannot be overcome unless it is supported by the patient’s own will.
I looked straight into the woman’s eyes and said.
“I won’t be able to stay awake for very long, so I’ll tell you straight.”
“······.”
“From now on, I will lead the way. If you want to live, just pray. “You must not give up or lose consciousness midway.”
