Clang clang clang!!
“Kkeueuk!!”
Muk Gye-rye, thrown back by Oh Ryong’s surprise attack, glared at Cheonbeom, who was staring blankly, and felt a surge of anger.
“To plot such a scheme!”
Muk Gye-rye was protected by Hyeon-gak Bul-goe [Mystic Tortoise Protective Armor], so she wasn’t injured yet.
“Scheme? That’s harsh. Didn’t we place a Geumje [sacred oath] on each other’s bodies before ascending to Gyewolseon [Moon Reflection Platform]?”
A Geumje not to harm each other.
“Then what is this, Oh Ryong!”
“You wound me. My daughter is just a little hungry and has become ferocious, so please don’t be too angry.”
Oh Ryong was Tamhwa, Cheonbeom’s adopted daughter.
He had said he wouldn’t harm her, but he never said he would block Tamhwa’s attack in that room.
“Keueuk, Head of the sect Mu! Are you just going to watch!”
“It’s an unexpected situation, so I don’t know what to do. I’m also under the Geumje like you.”
Muk Gye-rye bit her lip and exuded a thick energy.
The Hyeon-gak Bul-goe that surrounded her blocked all directions in the form of a circle.
It was like a green ball.
However, Oh Ryong’s teeth were so sharp and her biting force was so strong that it was uncertain how long she could withstand it.
“Cheon Su-seon [Celestial Water Immortal]. I know you’re angry, but doing this won’t calm the situation. The elders and disciples of the Hyeonmu Sect [Mystic Tortoise Sect] waiting outside will step in.”
“That’s also true.”
Cheonbeom said to Tamhwa, who was trying to break Gyewolseon and chew on the ball made of Hyeon-gak Bul-goe.
“Swallow it.”
Gulp.
Then Tamhwa swallowed the head of the sect Muk, who was wrapped in Hyeon-gak Bul-goe, in one gulp.
“Ah, no! What are you doing!”
“Didn’t Head of the sect Mu see it too? Head of the sect Muk is not in her right mind right now. It would be good for her to go into my daughter’s stomach for a while and cool her head.”
“Didn’t you say that Oh Ryong is your daughter? Even if your daughter is in the body of Oh Ryong, she is at the level of Sangseon [Superior Immortal], and Head of the sect Muk is Hyangseon [Fragrant Immortal], so what if she breaks through her stomach and comes out!”
At the words of the head of the sect Mu, Cheonbeom waved his hand dismissively.
“My daughter is not that weak.”
Tamhwa, who has eaten all kinds of divine powers and can even use space divine power.
Tamhwa’s stomach is made of several spaces. It’s because she ate Wan-gong [a mythical being with spatial abilities].
So she can’t get out easily.
‘Muk Gye-rye’s divine power is Hyeon-gak Bul-goe, a Bonseon law [Fundamental Immortal Law] that combines offense and defense.’
However, even if it’s a combination of offense and defense, it’s not a law tool with excellent killing power.
Furthermore, to escape from Tamhwa’s vast stomach, she must be able to create a huge explosion using Taecheonoe Yangsingong [Grand Celestial Outer Yang Divine Art] like Cheonbeom.
Even if she could do that, Tamhwa’s divine power is not limited to that.
She can also melt and kill her with a huge amount of poison that will kill her instantly with just one breath.
No matter how much of a Hyangseon she is, if Tamhwa truly intends to kill her, it will be difficult to save her life.
‘I want to get rid of her like this, but I can’t help it.’
Beom stroked Tamhwa’s nose.
“Come here.”
Then Tamhwa’s form turned into black smoke and poured down on Cheonbeom.
Tamhwa transformed into Wiju Hoyeon Armor [Cosmic Blaze Armor] and was worn by Beom.
He closed his eyes as if concentrating for a moment, and felt the energy of the head of the sect Muk in Tamhwa’s stomach.
‘Is it like this?’
The head of the sect Muk was buried in a huge amount of poison and was tightly bound by chains containing all of Tamhwa’s divine powers.
It was a Geumsoe [Golden Lock] that combined Geumjangsa [Golden Binding Thread], various divine powers, and this time, Geumbaknyeongsa [Golden Foil Spirit Thread].
Should I say she’s worthy of being the head of the Hyeonmu Sect?
Even though she was falling into the sea of poison, the head of the sect Muk was alive.
Hyeon-gak Bul-goe must be a great Bonseon law.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to withstand the poison and Geumsoe.
Hyeon-gak Bul-goe had already transformed into a huge Hyeonmu [Mystic Tortoise] to protect her.
It’s a divine power worthy of the head of the Hyeonmu Sect.
‘Even so, there’s no way out, so she’ll die in a hundred years.’
Her energy is not eternal, so if she stays like that for a hundred years, Hyeon-gak Bul-goe will melt or her energy will run out and she will die.
“Wiju Hoyeon Armor….”
The eyes of the head of the sect Mu flickered as if he recognized the Wiju Hoyeon Armor.
Cheonbeom glanced at him and pulled out Tamhwa’s Geumsoe in all directions.
The Geumsoe, resembling black chains, pierced the floor and ceiling of Gyewolseon and spread out like a spider web.
After that, black poison flowed out from the grasp of spring, and a small bead floated up.
“Hyeon-gak Bul-goe! It’s the head of the sect Muk!”
As the small bead gradually grew larger, the hexagon of Hyeon-gak Bul-goe transformed into a clear form.
If he had his way, he would have just left her alone, but outside, the disciples of the Hyeonmu Sect and the Munmu Seons [Martial Dance Immortals] were confronting each other.
The number was the number, and the number of Hyangseons was far greater on that side, so if he killed her like this, a lot of blood would be shed.
Chwarrreuk.
Each and every Hyeon-gak Bul-gwa poured down. The color was a little damaged, but it didn’t seem to be a big problem.
However, the complexion of the head of the sect Muk inside turned a little pale.
“You…!”
“My daughter must have mistaken you for food. I apologize.”
The head of the sect Muk was speechless at his brazen appearance.
Besides, she couldn’t move.
Black iron chains surrounded her on all sides.
And the poison that was slowly rising and the changing scenery.
She had long been immersed in Cheonbeom’s illusion.
“You! Are you trying to kill me!”
“You wound me. I have no interest in the head of the sect Muk’s thick neck. I just unfolded the illusion to calm you down for a while.”
It was absurd.
He said he was calming her down, but he had spread Geumsoe all around and was ready to kill her if things went wrong.
“Where is my daughter!”
“I don’t know the head of the sect Muk’s daughter. But you ignore me and my subordinate Suseons [Water Immortals], so I couldn’t just stand by. If I had really captured your daughter, I wouldn’t have pulled you out of Tamhwa’s stomach.”
Tamhwa is regretting that she couldn’t catch and eat her.
“Head of the sect Muk, I also agree with Cheon Su-seon’s words. Your daughter may have disappeared, but you’re going too far.”
With the head of the sect Mu joining in, she closed her mouth tightly, unlike before when she was full of vigor.
She must have realized that the situation had changed.
It was a surprise attack, but it was even more so because she had been inside Oh Ryong’s stomach for a while.
“If I hadn’t taken you out, Head of the sect Muk, you would never have been able to escape. My daughter’s poison is still묻어있지 on Hyeon-gak Bul-goe, isn’t it?”
If you don’t wash it off soon, it will affect Bonseon law.
It’s a poison that’s not good to keep for long.
“Then my daughter….”
“She’s not here. Head of the sect Muk also knows it. You’ve already spread your Shinshik [Divine Sense] and looked around, but you don’t know. I’ve already searched Cheon Su-seon’s room with Shinshik. There was nothing alive there. There was something suspicious, but I didn’t feel the unique energy of the Hyeonmu Sect.”
“If there’s something suspicious….”
But the head of the sect Muk still didn’t let go of the string of hope.
Beom sighed and stretched out his hand.
Then a small Geumdon [Golden Pig] statue flew into his hand and was caught.
“I just imprisoned my Wonshin [Original Spirit] inside this for a reason.”
As he moved his lips, the appearance of the Wonshin trapped inside was faintly reflected on the Geumdon statue. As the contained energy flowed out, the heads of the sects’ doubts were dispelled.
“She’s really not here….”
The head of the sect Muk finally erased her doubts and slumped down, her body drained of strength.
“Head of the sect Muk, she may not be in Gyewolseon, but she may be somewhere else. Mugeoljong [Silent Sword Sect] will also help, so cheer up.”
Then the head of the sect Muk got up with difficulty and teared up.
“She’s not anywhere. I can’t find any trace of her anywhere. No one has ever seen her. Where and how should I find her!!”
“Have you used Chusul [Tracking Art]?”
“I’ve already used it, but I used Chusul with that child’s belongings….”
It was useless.
Either it was sealed with a strong Geumgu [Golden Seal].
Or….
‘She’s dead.’
It was one of the two.
Tsk.
Cheonbeom waved his hand and erased the illusion and collected the Geumsoe.
There was no threatening enemy in front of him.
There was only a mother who had lost her child.
“If you’ve seen everything, please leave now.”
A clear eviction order.
But because of that, Muk Gye-rye came to her senses and knelt down.
“Cheon Su-seon, please help me.”
Cheonbeom’s face frowned.
“You’ve caused this mess and you’re asking me to help you.”
“I know it’s shameless. But don’t you know how a parent’s heart will crumble when they have a child!”
That’s true.
If Tamhwa had disappeared like that, Beom might have searched for her like crazy.
But she wouldn’t have been so unable to distinguish things and cause trouble.
“Why me?”
“You faced the head of the Hyeonmu Sect with just the body of Hwanshin [Illusionary Body]. If I was still in Oh Ryong’s stomach, I wouldn’t have been able to avoid death. Besides, I’ve been hearing about Cheon Su-seon for the past hundred years. Her personality is her personality, and her insight is said to be thick.”
So you want me to find your daughter with that insight?
That’s absurd.
Cheonbeom, who hates troublesome things and doesn’t want to get involved in such bizarre things, but her last words kept lingering in his head.
“Anything?”
“Yes, I’ll give you anything!”
Then Cheonbeom calmly looked at the head of the sect Muk.
“I’m not interested in necks. But there are things I want. If you promise to give it to me, I’ll put in a little effort to find the head of the sect Muk’s daughter.”
“What is it? I’ll give you anything I can give you!”
Cheonbeom walked over and picked up a piece of Hyeon-gak Bul-goe that had fallen around her.
“I want Hyeon-gak Bul-goe.”
“Cheon Su-seon, that’s…!”
The head of the sect Mu was startled and stopped him.
Wanting Hyeon-gak Bul-goe is no different from asking for the Hyeonmu Sect’s secret.
No matter how precious her child is, she would never give up Hyeon-gak Bul-goe, which has been passed down from generation to generation in the sect and represents the Hyeonmu Sect.
Even if it’s just a piece!
“I’ll do that. Is that really all you need?”
“Head of the sect Muk!”
The head of the sect Mu shouted in surprise, but there was no lie in Muk Gye-rye’s eyes.
“That’s enough.”
He grabs the head of the sect Muk’s hand and raises her up.
It’s a slender woman’s hand.
It was also the hand of a mother who had lost her child.
‘Hyeon-gak Bul-goe might be of great help in completing Hwahyeoljiche [Blood Transformation Wisdom].’
It is a Bonseon law that has firmly withstood Tamhwa’s poison.
If he can figure out the composition law, he might be able to stabilize the unstable Hwahyeol and complete Hwahyeoljiche.
“Can you find her?”
“Well. I can’t give you a definite answer, but there’s a place I can guess.”
Cheonbeom, who hasn’t even gone outside Hyeonmu Fortress for the past hundred years.
Looking at Hyeonmu Fortress from a third party’s point of view, it was truly strange.
Cheonbeom has no memory of seeing a child while living in Hyeonmu Fortress for a hundred years.
Even if he saw them, they would disappear after a few years.
If they weren’t born with precious blood, they would disappear as if it were natural.
Originally, he wasn’t going to interfere whether they disappeared or not.
But the story has changed.
The disappeared children and the disappeared daughter of the head of the Hyeonmu Sect.
‘There’s no choice but to be related.’
