Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 356

-Kunlun.

They were one of the Nine Great Sects, and in terms of martial prowess, they were considered among the top of the Nine Great Sects.

However, the name Kunlun felt unfamiliar to most people.

This was because they had almost never revealed themselves to the outside world or made their name known.

Therefore, Kunlun was often regarded as a mystery itself.

However, there were times when they did appear.

-Disaster.

It was when disaster-level monsters appeared.

At that time, Kunlun would appear and join forces to defeat the disaster, and once the disaster was defeated, they would disappear as if they had never been there.

‘Kunlun.’

Such an unexpected name had popped up.

-Kunlun is a sect belonging to the Anti-Demon faction.

The Pro-Demon faction, which believes in accepting demons and using their power.

The Anti-Demon faction, which believes in eradicating demons and never accepting them.

Therefore.

-Although they are currently one of the Nine Great Sects, they are also a sect that has essentially severed ties with the Hui [a large martial arts alliance].

They were people who were so extremely wary and hateful of demons that they cut ties with the Hui, which was tainted by demons.

-That’s what the past records say.

Kunlun was always a place that poured all its efforts into eradicating demons.

Located on the border of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains where the Heavenly Demon Cult was, they were always at the forefront, slaying the demon heads whenever a righteous-demonic war broke out.

-I don’t know why they kidnapped the Unknowns.

That was also according to the information Ha Se-min had brought.

-Although Kunlun is said to be isolated from the world, they do have exchanges with the outside world for necessary supplies.

At that time, members of the Black Market disguised themselves as ordinary merchants and settled in Kunlun.

According to them.

-Currently, Kunlun is the most egalitarian place in Asia for players, martial artists, and ordinary people.

Ha Se-min said that there was almost no discrimination against players.

However, he also said that information about Kunlun was extremely scarce.

“Secretly, Kunlun Taoists had entered South Korea.”

That was when.

“It was right after Eunha declared the Blood Cult.”

It was after revealing that Eunha’s predecessor and origin was the Blood Cult.

“They probably wanted to confirm the reality of the Blood Cult.”

Yi Rown nodded in agreement.

“But they didn’t move, and instead, they moved after the Unknowns appeared.”

Tracking and observation.

The rest was as they already knew.

The Kunlun Taoists, having discovered the Unknowns’ base, secretly attacked and kidnapped them.

“Who helped them?”

Kunlun was not a sect with strong influence.

They might be unknown in their own territory, but since their relationship with the Hui was severed, there would have been several problems with them moving secretly.

The fact that they were not caught by Ha Se-min’s intelligence network meant that there was a helper assisting them.

“It’s the Nine Dragons Gate.”

The Nine Dragons Gate.

It was a name everyone present knew.

Although not one of the Nine Great Sects, it was a sect with a huge influence in Asia.

They belonged to no one and roamed freely, and they had helped Kunlun.

“It smells fishy.”

The Nine Dragons Gate was located in Guangzhou.

It was near Wudang.

Click.

The locked door was opened by the Blood Cult warriors.

The place they were in was the Blood King’s Castle.

“Let’s go.”

Yi Rown crossed the door first.

The ones who would be deployed in this operation.

Ha Se-min, Oh Jin-kyung, and Choi Ye-seul crossed the threshold together.

The place they arrived at was.

“It’s been a while, benefactor.”

Wudang.

* * *

Wudang, one of the Nine Great Sects and a Taoist sect, was known for locking its doors and not interfering in worldly affairs, just like Kunlun.

However, at some point, they had opened their doors, which had been close to being sealed, and began to actively intervene in worldly affairs.

Currently, there were even disciples who were recognized for their achievements and necessity within the Hui, holding important positions.

Such Wudang was.

“It’s been a while, benefactor.”

Through a series of past events, they had become subordinate to Yi Rown.

“……!”

“Huk.”

Oh Jin-kyung’s eyes widened, and Choi Ye-seul gasped.

They knew they had crossed a door, but.

“This is….”

“Wudang!”

They had not expected to head to Wudang.

Also, it was not easy to understand.

Why was there a door leading to Wudang in the world of the Blood Cult?

And also.

“It’s nice to meet you for the first time.”

A handsome young man with a divine aura.

He recited a Taoist greeting towards Oh Jin-kyung and Choi Ye-seul.

“I am Cheonjong, the sect leader of Wudang.”

“……!”

The sect leader of Wudang had come to greet them?

“You are….”

Cheonjong’s eyes turned to Oh Jin-kyung.

“You must be the Great Sword Hero.”

Since the names of Haemujae and Haewang were not yet known, Cheonjong guessed Oh Jin-kyung’s identity.

“It’s nice to meet you. I am Oh Jin-kyung, the sect leader of Hainan.”

Oh Jin-kyung also bowed to Cheonjong with courtesy.

The reason they were even more surprised.

“The benefactor has arrived.”

It was because of the numerous disciples lined up behind Cheonjong.

They were exuding a powerful aura.

They were the disciples of Wudang, the sect known as the best swordsmen in the Jianghu [the martial arts world].

“Greet him.”

“We greet the benefactor!”

The sight of numerous disciples simultaneously bowing with clasped hands was truly a spectacle.

“You look better.”

Yi Rown looked at Cheonjong as if he was not interested in any of it.

He was the one who carried two souls in one body.

“It’s thanks to you.”

With Yi Rown’s help, he had prevented the deterioration.

“I have good news, sect leader.”

At Yi Rown’s words, a light flickered in Cheonjong’s eyes.

“The Soul-Returning Divine Doctor is in my possession.”

“Heh heh. Is that really, truly the truth?”

“Does it sound like a joke?”

At Yi Rown’s words, Cheonjong’s eyes narrowed.

“It’s soon.”

It was soon that he could awaken the Soul-Returning Divine Doctor and do what he needed to do.

“Then, is that the reason you came all the way here?”

“If that were the case, I would have called.”

The disciples had already stepped back.

Under Cheonjong’s guidance, the group entered the sect leader’s room.

On the way, they could see the Haegumji [a place where swords are left], where anyone who was not a Wudang disciple had to lay down their swords, but it did not apply to Yi Rown’s group.

They were already in the same world, the same residents, and serving the same lord.

“What era is it now?”

At Yi Rown’s words, Cheonjong smiled.

“I am still not used to mechanical devices.”

“You can just have your disciples do it.”

The two of them chatted like friends as they walked.

At that sight, Choi Ye-seul felt her heart pounding.

She knew that Yi Rown was amazing.

He was the leader of the Blood Cult, and he had Oh Jin-kyung under his command.

She knew that he had devoured the Philippines and subjugated Jeomchang.

But.

‘Wudang, of all places.’

They were like Kunlun, who had not revealed themselves to the world, but Choi Ye-seul had heard countless times about how strong and important Wudang was.

Yet, such Wudang was showing respect and was subordinate to Yi Rown.

‘Just how….’

How much more was hidden?

And if it was this person.

‘He might really be able to save….’

Her comrades, and beyond that, countless people.

“But what brings you here?”

Cheonjong sat in the sect leader’s room and spoke to Yi Rown.

“I don’t think you came here just to talk about obtaining the Soul-Returning Divine Doctor or what has happened so far.”

At Cheonjong’s voice, which was filled with a divine aura.

“Kunlun.”

Yi Rown replied.

“Everything about Kunlun.”

And.

“I’ll borrow Wudang’s name.”

* * *

The area where Kunlun was located was Yunnan Province.

It was right next to Guangzhou, where Wudang was located.

Also, Kunlun and Wudang, who had a long history together, would have many things in common.

-Kunlun is….

Cheonjong told them everything he knew about Kunlun.

And at the end.

-They are a stronger sect than you think.

A warning followed.

-Wudang may be called the best swordsmen in the Jianghu, but that is when looking at the overall level.

Cheonjong said.

-It is believed that Kunlun is the one that possesses the strongest masters.

The power of Kunlun.

-Also, they….

Cheonjong said.

-They are working with Emei.

Emei Sect, another one of the Nine Great Sects.

It was a sect made up only of female Taoists.

The story was that the two had been working together to achieve their goals since long ago.

There were many other stories about Kunlun.

“Kunlun must not know the truth.”

From the fact that they were caught taking the Unknowns, to the fact that they were being tracked by them.

They must not be caught knowing any of it.

“If they find out, the kidnapped ones will be in danger.”

It was something that those who had not shown themselves had stepped forward to do.

In the worst-case scenario, they could hide even more to erase all traces, or they could dispose of the kidnapped Unknowns.

They could open any door with force, but.

“So….”

Yi Rown said, putting on his Taoist hat crookedly.

“We’ll have to disguise ourselves.”

They had become one group.

They were the ones who had drawn the Taegeuk symbol on their chests.

But they were not Wudang.

-Taegeuk Gate.

They were part of the procession of the Taegeuk Gate, a subordinate secular sect and guild of Wudang.

The first place they aimed for was the Nine Dragons Gate.

They did not belong to any faction, but they were spreading their influence far and wide.

They were located in Guangzhou, which was Wudang’s territory, and naturally, they had a close relationship with Wudang’s secular sect.

“We have arrived.”

Hang Yeo-il, the head of the Taegeuk Gate, spoke carefully to Yi Rown.

-He is Wudang’s benefactor.

Hang Yeo-il, a fervent supporter of Wudang, had been summoned by Cheonjong and met him.

Even if he was the head of a secular sect, it was not easy to see the sect leader.

Especially Cheonjong, the sect leader of Wudang, did not show himself often and had his disciples handle matters, but Hang Yeo-il had met him in person and talked to him.

-Please do not commit any discourtesy.

At that meeting, Hang Yeo-il had made a resolution.

No matter what, he would handle this matter perfectly.

“This place is….”

Hang Yeo-il pointed to the huge manor in front of them.

“It is the Nine Dragons Gate, the Nine Dragons Guild.”

A large manor that could be called a castle.

The name Nine Dragons Gate was engraved on the signboard.

“It’s my first time coming here in person, but it’s amazing.”

Ha Se-min said, as if he was impressed.

“If you look at their power, they seem to be comparable to the Nine Great Sects.”

Ha Se-min had also quickly looked up information about the Nine Dragons Gate.

However, the Nine Dragons Gate he actually saw felt larger and more powerful than what the Black Market had organized.

Goooh.

The aura felt from the Nine Dragons Gate’s manor.

He could vaguely sense the number and extent of it.

Even at this moment, the procession going in and out of the Nine Dragons Gate’s manor was endless.

“Let’s go in.”

At Yi Rown’s words, the group nodded and began to move forward.

Chuk!

Warriors blocked their path.

They were the warriors of the Nine Dragons Gate.

They were wearing clothes with nine wriggling dragons and exuding a strong aura, and they looked at Hang Yeo-il.

“Great Hero Hang, it’s been a while.”

“It has been a while.”

Hang Yeo-il said without showing any particular strangeness.

“We should naturally open the door for Great Hero Hang, but we also have our circumstances.”

“Of course.”

“Are the people behind you all disciples of the Taegeuk Gate?”

The warriors of the Nine Dragons Gate looked at Yi Rown’s group.
