Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 341

“This is a device that suppresses all senses.”

The Haenam martial artists spoke as if it were obvious.

The place they were about to go was more important than anything to them.

“You should know what it means to block the senses of a martial artist, right?”

Ha Se-min spoke as if he was displeased with Haenam’s attitude.

To block the senses of a martial artist.

That was an act no different from entrusting one’s life.

Swish.

At Ha Se-min’s reaction, the Haenam martial artists surrounded them.

If the Haenam martial artists had known that Ha Se-min was the Black King, they would never have done that.

“It seems there’s no need to show any more courtesy to a mere Eunha martial artist.”

The Haenam martial artists, exuding hostility, spoke.

They thought Lee Rowoon and the others were just simple Eunha martial artists.

It was, in a way, natural.

This place was Haenam, a hostile territory and the heart of the enemy for Eunha.

Who would think that the leadership would send less than ten people to such a place?

“If you don’t cooperate, we’ll make you cooperate by force.”

When dozens of martial artists spoke with killing intent, Ha Se-min finally nodded.

“Do as you please.”

After all, all of this was just a mere act.

Clank.

The Haenam martial artists put something on Lee Rowoon and the others’ wrists.

Then, the noise, the scent, and the sight all stopped.

Of course.

Whoosh.

They were just pretending to be affected.

“Great Sea Sword.”

Thinking that the Eunha martial artists’ senses were completely blocked, they called for Oh Jinkyung.

“I have always respected you.”

“……”

“But if you follow them now, the Sect Leader will not leave the Great Sea Sword alone.”

Concern stemming from respect.

“Run away. Live as if you are dead. I will say that you died at the hands of Eunha.”

The Haenam martial artists were planning to use Lee Rowoon and the others as scapegoats.

“Thank you for your words.”

They were all like juniors to the Great Sea Sword, Oh Jinkyung.

“But it’s something I have to take responsibility for.”

“Great Sea Sword…”

“There will be nothing for you to worry about.”

The martial artists’ faces grew heavy.

“I will correct Haenam. So, you follow what you think is right.”

Their faces looked deeply troubled.

“We will escort you.”

In the end, they took Oh Jinkyung, including Lee Rowoon and the others, somewhere.

* * *

Fragments of the world.

To the residents of Eun, their world was like a sanctuary that they had to protect at all costs.

A place to return to, their history, a world containing everything about them.

In fact, there had been several cases where they had lost their world, and the sects that had lost their world gradually lost all their power and withered away.

That is why the world was an absolute sanctuary that they had to protect.

“I will release the sensory blockade.”

The Haenam martial artists had even blocked their senses to take Lee Rowoon and the others to their world.

“……”

Also, Ha Se-min and the others knew.

That they had been brought into their world meant.

‘They have no intention of sending us back.’

Thinking that, Lee Rowoon’s group looked around.

Lee Rowoon had seen many worlds while visiting them.

Haenam was different.

Splash.

The sea.

The sea could be seen in the distance.

Buildings that blended Eun’s style with the atmosphere of an island came into view.

Also, countless residents were living and breathing there.

“This place is…”

Oh Jinkyung said in a quiet voice.

“It is Haewangseong, which can be called the base of Haenam.”

Haewangseong.

The sanctuary of Haenam that had been passed down from the past.

Upon entering the world, the spirit of the Haenam martial artists, including Oh Jinkyung, changed.

A world gives a boost to martial artists.

The inner energy built up in that world is amplified even more when it is within the world.

Smirk.

The Haenam martial artists showed a smile.

“I heard that Eunha was so strong?”

They had not participated in the war.

But they had heard about the terror of Eunha from the returning defeated soldiers.

“But in the end, it was just your territory.”

A voice filled with even more confidence.

“You will never be able to defeat the Haenam martial artists here in Haewangseong.”

Now, they did not hesitate to reveal their true intentions.

“Great Sea Sword, you can come with us.”

They were taking special care of Oh Jinkyung.

“And you are allowed to stay here for one day.”

“That’s ridiculous.”

Lee Rowoon smiled at them.

“Are you telling us to enjoy the last day?”

The meaning was clear.

“Well, you could say that.”

The Haenam martial artists said.

“Also, take in the sight of Haewangseong. Unlike your shabby world, Haewangseong has a long history and tradition.”

The last time.

And they were telling them to enjoy that time.

Also, to take in the sight of Haewangseong and feel the difference.

The war was over.

But as others had said, this war was not over yet.

“Thank you.”

At Lee Rowoon’s words, the martial artists showed a sneer.

“It’s no use struggling. The Haenam martial artists will be watching your every move here.”

“Suit yourselves.”

“As expected of the Blood Cult.”

They sneered and led Oh Jinkyung away.

Oh Jinkyung briefly made eye contact with Lee Rowoon.

Nod.

The two nodded.

“See you soon.”

With those words, Oh Jinkyung disappeared with the Haenam martial artists.

“Certainly…”

Dang Hwa-young, who was wearing a disguise mask, said.

“We are being watched.”

The energy of the martial artists could be felt through her senses.

There seemed to be at least thirty of them, and their spirit was at least at the Hwagyeong level [a high level of martial arts mastery].

“But…”

Tear.

Dang Hwa-young tore off her disguise mask.

“……!”

The sounds of surprise were felt for a moment.

Tear!

The others also took off their disguise masks, revealing their true appearances.

“Who would have thought?”

Ha Se-min had a smile on his lips.

“That you would think of taking on Haenam with just ten people.”

And then.

Whoosh!

The martial artists who were watching Lee Rowoon and the others rushed in.

* * *

Oh Jinkyung was being led by the martial artists.

The martial artists no longer tried to persuade Oh Jinkyung.

It was true that there was nowhere to run once they entered Haewangseong, but they were respecting Oh Jinkyung, who had shown his will as a martial artist.

Finally, they arrived at their destination.

“May good fortune be with you.”

The martial artists bowed to Oh Jinkyung and then disappeared.

Oh Jinkyung felt a sense of liberation from the loosened restraints and stretched his whole body.

Creak-!

The doors of the large hall opened naturally.

‘Haewangseong.’

The Haenam martial artists were proud of this place.

But to Oh Jinkyung, the current Haewangseong felt like the ruins of a collapsed Haenam.

What sect builds such a castle and creates a grand hall?

They, who should be devoted to martial arts and training, built a castle and decorated it with gold.

They were no longer martial artists.

They were just pigs consumed by greed.

“Come in.”

At the all-too-familiar voice, Oh Jinkyung took a step forward.

Once, he had entrusted everything to that voice.

Even his own life.

But it was different now.

“Jinkyung, you have come.”

Dragon King Cho San.

He was the Sect Leader of this Haenam and an existence that could be called a king.

* * *

In the large hall, a chair like a throne was placed.

The one sitting there, looking down at Oh Jinkyung with arrogant eyes.

He was Cho San, the Sect Leader of this Haenam and also called the Dragon King.

“I have heard the story.”

Cho San spoke to Oh Jinkyung without revealing his emotions.

“Not only did you suffer a great defeat, but you are also saying ridiculous things.”

“……”

“Are you crazy?”

Cho San’s gaze turned cold.

“You, who were more full of pride for Haenam than anyone else. What on earth made you like this?”

Finally, Oh Jinkyung opened his mouth.

“It is because I have pride in Haenam and love Haenam.”

“Nonsense.”

“Sect Leader, do you remember when we launched a joint attack with Eunha and Hwasan?”

At Oh Jinkyung’s question, Cho San narrowed his eyes even more.

“I remember.”

“At that time, I lost my fellow disciples who were like family. But what did you do then, Sect Leader?”

“Didn’t I protest to Hwasan?”

“You did.”

A bitter smile spread across Oh Jinkyung’s lips.

“But it was just a formality. You accepted the handouts from the Assembly and Hwasan and eventually turned a blind eye, Sect Leader.”

“You insolent fool!”

Cho San, enraged, rose to his feet.

“Is there anything more important than the disciples?”

“Shut up!”

“Are you prepared to wage war against Hwasan?”

Cho San’s whole body trembled.

“The war with Eunha was just something you looked down on, and you started it because they are not the main force of the Assembly. I made it so.”

Swoosh.

The Blue Wave Sword appeared from Cho San’s waist.

To be precise, the Great Blue Wave Sword.

The sword’s blade with its wavy pattern and sharp edge showed how exquisite the Great Blue Wave Sword was.

The sword that symbolized the Sect Leader of Haenam.

He held the sword and aimed it at the Great Sea Sword.

“I was going to listen to your excuses.”

Cho San said, casting a sharp sword aura.

“But it seems there is no need to do so.”

He slowly approached.

“Die. Your death will be the work of Eunha, and in the end, it will be proof that they are the demonic Blood Cult.”

“Sect Leader.”

Oh Jinkyung, who had nothing in his hands and had even left his sword before entering the hall, reached out his hand and said.

“This is what Oh Jinkyung wanted you to know.”

His face changed.

There.

“Blood Demon.”

Lee Rowoon was standing.

* * *

The Eunha martial artists were surrounded by Haenam.

Their identities were Dang Hwa-young and Ha Se-min, among others.

“How reckless.”

They never imagined that the leaders of Eunha would come all the way to Haenam’s base.

If their numbers were large, it would be understandable, but there were only about ten of them.

No matter how skilled they were, it was no different from suicide.

“Are those the ones?”

Also, elderly men slowly revealed themselves.

But their spirit was extraordinary.

“There is no need for the Haewangdae to step forward.”

They were the elders of Haenam, the hidden masters known as the Haewangdae.

“No, no.”

An old man from the Haewangdae said.

“Aren’t they the ones who made fools of our Haenam? Cho San was even begging for help.”

The fact that the Haewangdae had revealed themselves was synonymous with the fact that they were ready to move.

“It’s better that we met like this. Are you remnants of the Blood Cult?”

The old men were smiling.

“Then let’s see your skills.”

The spirit of each one.

Even Ha Se-min and Dang Hwa-young felt chills all over their bodies.

‘They have stepped into the realm of transcendence.’

They rarely left the world.

They were only interested in focusing on martial arts and protecting and guarding the world, and they had transcended the Hyeon Gyeong realm and reached the Saengsa Gyeong realm [two very high levels of martial arts mastery].

‘I could fight them if I used the Blood Demon Energy.’

They were so strong that they could not see the end within that duration.

But then.

Swish.

The one who had been wearing Lee Rowoon’s face threw off his disguise mask.

“I greet the Haewangdae seniors.”

Oh Jinkyung, he greeted them with a fist salute.
