Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 161

The Soul and Spirit Physician.

That name was practically an urban legend.

No one had ever confirmed their existence, a name that only floated on people’s lips.

Lee Ro-woon was the same.

“Everyone thinks the Soul and Spirit Physician is just a made-up story.”

It was that much of a far-fetched tale.

The world’s medical technology had already developed to the point where it seemed impossible to advance further.

Gates appeared, and players were born.

Among them, support-type healer players possessed abilities akin to divine miracles of the past.

Of course, not just anyone could do it, but they could reattach severed arms and restore sight to blinded eyes.

The medical technology of the world that had invaded through the opened gates was also remarkable.

Of course, diseases like cancer had not yet been completely conquered, but through this process, the world’s medical technology had advanced.

Even so, the story of the Soul and Spirit Physician was hard to believe.

“Resurrection.”

A word that meant bringing the dead back to life.

“He’s said to be the only one among Eun’s people who can resurrect.”

There was a most famous story.

During the height of the war with Gehenna, there was a rumor that In-hweju, one of the three council leaders of the current council, had died in a fierce battle.

But he reappeared with the ceasefire.

‘The truth was that he had died, and it was the Soul and Spirit Physician who brought him back to life.’

That was the story.

Resurrection was something that could only be called a miracle, even in this advanced world.

No matter how great a healer player was, they had never performed a resurrection.

“Even though there’s a Pope in Einheart.”

It was said that the Holy Pope in Einheart could perform resurrections, but it had not been confirmed.

The legend of the Soul and Spirit Physician.

That wasn’t all.

“Also, In-hweju is said to have broken through his limits with the treatment he received back then.”

It wasn’t just about saving people.

The story was that he could help a martial artist overcome the wall they feared and struggled with the most.

That was why martial artists chased after the Soul and Spirit Physician’s whereabouts and went to great lengths to meet him.

Even so, his true form had not been revealed, so he remained a legend.

“…….”

Dang Hwa-young kept her mouth shut.

“The Soul and Spirit Physician exists.”

It was already a confirmed fact.

“The story of In-hweju is also true.”

Lee Ro-woon had an informant who was more accurate and faster than anyone else.

Hao Mun and the Black Lion King.

-He exists.

That was the story he had confirmed.

And although it had not yet been confirmed, there was a personal deduction from the Black Lion King.

“Is that Soul and Spirit Physician a member of the Dang family?”

That there was a high probability that he was a member of the Dang family.

A long silence followed.

That alone was enough to provide some answer, but finally, Dang Hwa-young opened her mouth and confirmed the truth of the rumors.

“No.”

A denial.

“The Soul and Spirit Physician is not a member of the Dang family.”

“I see.”

Dang Hwa-young’s voice continued as Lee Ro-woon didn’t ask further.

“But he is someone with a deep connection to the Dang family.”

Her eyes sparkled.

What Lee Ro-woon had asked so far.

And her own situation.

Dang Hwa-young was not a foolish woman, though she was sometimes reckless.

After all, she had been raised as the young mistress of the Dang family.

She understood why Lee Ro-woon was asking these questions and what he wanted.

And that was.

‘Thank you, Ro-woon.’

That he was thinking of her.

“Should I call him a Blood Demon? Or Jincheon? Or… Eunha’s…”

“Lee Ro-woon.”

Dang Hwa-young smiled at Lee Ro-woon’s words.

“Lee Ro-woon. It’s good. Whatever it is, I have a request for you, who has gained such great power.”

A conversation not as friends who had a past connection, but as representatives of something.

“I want the Dang family…”

Dang Hwa-young said.

“I want to have the Dang family.”

“Why are you telling me that?”

But the answer that came in a languid tone was different from what Dang Hwa-young had expected.

Even so, Dang Hwa-young was not flustered.

“Because you have the power to do so.”

“…….”

“That’s right.”

Dang Hwa-young spoke, putting a little more strength into her voice.

“The Dang family has artisans who can make divine weapons. No one in Eun can match them. Even if other places can make divine weapons…”

Dang Hwa-young’s eyes also began to shine.

“It would be difficult to make enough weapons to satisfy Eunha, the Blood Cult, and the Black Lion.”

“Hmm.”

“Also, that’s right.”

Dang Hwa-young continued.

“No one in the world can meet the Soul and Spirit Physician just because they want to. Not even the three council leaders, but the Dang family is different.”

The Dang family had a connection that allowed them to meet him.

“I want to have the Dang family. Let me have the Dang family. If you do that…”

Two eyes filled with venom.

“Eunha, Lee Ro-woon, you will gain everything.”

Also.

“Your enemies will lose everything.”

Because the head of the Dang family would support Lee Ro-woon.

“I want to have the Dang family.”

Dang Hwa-young said again.

***

“No, it’s not possible.”

Everyone looked at Ha Se-min at his firm answer.

Even though the gazes were not friendly, Ha Se-min did not back down.

“It’s not possible.”

Who had ever given Ha Se-min such looks before?

Even the leaders of the Nine Great Sects could not show such an attitude towards him.

But now, as they served the same master, it was inevitable.

“Why not?”

It was Kang Eun-ha.

“The Blood Demon’s words are all correct.”

She said, protesting.

“Eunha now has the power not to be inferior to the Nine Great Sects. The Black Lion King also said that we can now try to take on Hainan, if not Mount Hua.”

The Blood Cult’s growth rate was abnormal.

Neither martial artists, players, nor knights could compare.

It grew at a speed close to that of Gehenna’s demons.

Lee Ro-woon’s Blood Demon Art and the Heavenly Demon Art that was with him.

The growth of the Blood Cult members, who had a solid foundation, was now gaining momentum.

The number of such Blood Cult members was constantly increasing, and the Anti-Demon Faction and Wudang had also joined the trend.

“But if we actually fight Hainan, we can’t guarantee an unconditional victory.”

Kang Eun-ha said.

“It’s almost certain defeat against Mount Hua.”

When Mount Hua moved this time, Ha Se-min judged their chances of winning to be 30%.

It didn’t make sense.

They had already said that their power was not inferior to the Nine Great Sects, yet their chances of winning were so low.

“You said that the reason for that was divine weapons.”

Divine weapons.

“Even though we received them through the Black Lion, they are not comparable to the masterpieces made to match a martial artist’s internal energy. You said that it has a big impact in actual combat.”

It wasn’t just something they had heard.

They had seen it.

“It’s an opportunity to get divine weapons. It’s an opportunity for them to take them away.”

So, Ha Se-min’s opposition was incomprehensible.

“Besides, the Dang family’s medical skills will be a great help.”

Everything was beneficial.

“Why…”

“That’s why.”

Ha Se-min was firm.

“We have too much. And there are too many important parts.”

“…….”

“Do you know what the Dang family’s position is?”

They knew.

“They belong to the Five Great Families, but they also seem to belong to the Nine Great Sects. Conversely, they are neither.”

A special position.

“Why is that?”

Kang Eun-ha was not stupid.

“It’s like an inviolable territory.”

“That’s right. Because their existence is so important, they are respected by both sides and prevented from belonging to either side.”

That was the Dang family.

“But if they side with someone, especially with Eunha?”

The future.

“Mount Hua has given us a grace period. It’s not a desirable term, but it’s true. That grace period will disappear. And that’s not all.”

The story of someone who knew the information was different.

“The Anti-Demon Faction will no longer be able to side with Eunha. They won’t tolerate such an important existence going to the devil’s lackey.”

Not just Mount Hua, not just the demon-hiding den.

“The entire Eun will become our enemy and attack us immediately.”

The worst move.

“Cheong In-woo might have been aiming for this.”

Ha Se-min looked at Dang Hwa-young, who was sitting quietly in a corner of the conference room.

Cheong In-woo must have known that she was here.

He had set up the board to confirm Lee Ro-woon’s identity, and he had also confirmed Dang Hwa-young’s existence, so he might have anticipated this situation.

“Can we fight and win against all of them? Even if we lose everything we’ve built up?”

“Yes.”

A firm answer.

“If that is the Blood Demon’s will.”

Kang Eun-ha’s two eyes were burning.

There was even madness in them.

“…….”

Only then did Ha Se-min understand.

The Blood Cult was definitely different from Hao Mun.

“The life I received from the Blood Demon, the grace I received from the Blood Demon, everything was received from the Blood Demon. Even if I lose all of it, I will have no regrets.”

Yes, these were the kind of people they were.

And.

“Well… it doesn’t seem like it’s my place to interfere, but I agree too.”

Lee Yong-jin, the vice-chief of the Ghostly Sound Valley, said.

“I’ve received a lot from the Black Lion, but I’ve also received a lot from this side… and the errand boy has to repay what he’s received.”

Lee Yong-jin smiled slyly.

Thanks to him, the atmosphere loosened up a bit.

Ha Se-min now looked at Lee Ro-woon.

What would his thoughts be as he watched this series of events?

‘I’m the same.’

He had opposed it, but it was only because he wanted everyone to clearly understand the situation.

The choice was…

“What are you talking about?”

Lee Ro-woon, who had been sitting, got up and said.

“It’s not about whether it’s possible or not, but about how to bring the Dang family in.”

At the languid and unremarkable voice.

Pfft, pfft.

Several people laughed.

Yes.

“He’s that kind of person…”

Ha Se-min said.

His face was relieved.

“Then, for now…”

The smartest of them began to speak.

* * *

There would be enough time before Mount Hua came forward.

That time would probably be.

-Until they were confident that they could defeat me.

Until what they were learning reached a certain level.

If so, there was quite a bit of time.

During that time, Lee Ro-woon had to move.

Originally, this fight was something Lee Ro-woon could have handled alone.

But now it was different.

“If it’s what the master wants.”

If their master was behind them.

“I should probably stay behind the scenes as much as possible.”

The same method.

That was both a courtesy to the master and a part he wanted to show the master.

That he was using what he had learned from them, what he had gained because of them, in this way.

The master might also want that.

“I’m curious.”

Dang Hwa-young asked.

“About that master of yours.”

She was even jealous of the person Lee Ro-woon missed so much.

“Speak comfortably. Don’t follow others unnecessarily.”

“How can I do that? You are now…”

“That’s why I’m telling you not to think about unnecessary things.”

The two of them were talking like that, while Kang Eun-ha was staring at them blankly.

Swoosh.

The limousine moved forward smoothly.

The plan to make Dang Hwa-young the head of the Dang family had already been established.

To carry out that plan, they had to go to where the Dang family was.

“What is Japan like?”

They were heading to Japan.

Dang Hwa-young closed her mouth for a moment at those words.

The words that came out soon were.

“It would be better for you to see it for yourself.”

Lee Yong-jin, who had asked, nodded.

This trip to Japan.

And it was a little different.

Squeak.

The limousine stopped.

Thud.

Following the opening door, Lee Ro-woon’s group got out.

The place where they stopped was an empty runway.

“I told you to look forward to it, right?”

Kang Eun-ha said confidently, pointing ahead.

What was standing there was.

“I bought one.”

A plane that looked brand new.
