Chapter 388 – Return (2)At the same time,

In Young Master Na Yul-ryang’s estate within the inner sanctum of Heaven and Earth Society.

Young Master Na Yul-ryang, sitting comfortably leaning against the head seat, downed a cup of alcohol in one gulp and then tossed it to the floor.

-Crash!

As the cup shattered, the corners of Na Yul-ryang’s mouth curled up.

Seeing this, his confidant Mo Yak chuckled and said,

“Are you that pleased?”

“Of course I am.”

After his seclusion, he had

The only concern was that Mok Gyeong-un was a master of the Transformation Realm.

Having already seen him contend with the Society Leader, he knew that his skills had surpassed his own, which was why he had resorted to using his trump card.

Whether this would work on Mok Gyeong-un or not was uncertain, but he had to attempt to escape with the Holy Fire Priestess in this moment.

-Flinch!

Shadow Clan Leader Hwan Ya-seon, who was about to swiftly move towards the carriage, unconsciously hesitated.

This was due to the vast true qi filling the surroundings.

‘What kind of true qi is this?’

The energy was so strong that it made his whole body break out in goosebumps.

It was at that very moment.

-Whoosh!

The gray mist, which had been so thick it obscured the surrounding view, suddenly began to move rapidly.

It was creating a single flow.

That flow,

‘Could it be?’

Shadow Clan Leader Hwan Ya-seon lifted his head.

The mist that had spread widely and was moving was gradually narrowing upwards, forming a vortex.

Seeing this, Hwan Ya-seon was dumbfounded.

The vast true qi filling the surroundings was trapping the mist, making it swirl and sending it upwards.

Eventually, the gray mist that had been swirling and surging upwards completely disappeared.

‘This can’t be…’

To be able to dispel the poisonous mist with true qi alone.

This was something he had never anticipated.

Who on earth could it be?

Only those at the level of the Eight Stars or above among the Five Kings could handle true qi to this extent, right?

No, this should only be possible for someone like the Society Leader.

In his field of vision, he saw Mok Gyeong-un extending his hand and slightly raising his index finger.

The true qi flowing from the tip of his finger was nothing short of awe-inspiring.

‘!?’

Shadow Clan Leader Hwan Ya-seon’s eyes widened.

Was it that child Mok Gyeong-un who did this?

He unconsciously swallowed, his mouth having gone dry without him realizing.

He knew that the speed of his martial arts development was incredibly fast, surpassing his expectations.

But this was beyond the realm of expectations.

What on earth had happened during the few months he was away on the confidential mission?

-Crack! Crack!

Hwan Ya-seon, who had been too shocked to speak, turned his head at the sound coming from beside him.

There, his confidant and bodyguard Byeok was not only moving his stiffened body, but,

-Hiss!

A black liquid, presumed to be poison, could be seen flowing from the tips of his ten fingers.

‘What? Is he… expelling the poison from his body?’

And in such a short moment?

Although Byeok’s martial arts were excellent, having been personally trained by him, he couldn’t have responded this quickly after being suddenly exposed to the poisonous mist.

What on earth was happening?

As he was bewildered,

-Creeeeak!

The carriage door opened.

Someone came down, leaning on a cane, and the moment Hwan Ya-seon saw this person, various complex emotions clouded his eyes.

‘The Holy Fire Priestess.’

He had wondered if the day would ever come when he would see her again after she was imprisoned in the underground prison of the imperial palace.

Yet here he was, seeing her again like this.

Even in the midst of crisis, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion.

-Grind!

What should he do?

No matter how joyous this reunion was, he couldn’t hand her over to the Heaven and Earth Society here.

Even at the cost of his own life, he had to take her outside the organization, but…

It was then.

“Clan Leader Ya-seon.”

She called out to him.

He wanted to immediately call out to the Holy Fire Priestess and pay his respects, but fearing there might be eyes and ears from the intelligence department sent by the Society Leader’s side, he couldn’t hastily respond.

As Hwan Ya-seon was about to gesture to her not to speak, the Holy Fire Priestess uttered words he never expected.

“Immediately lower your body and pay respects to that person.”

“What are you saying…”

“The person before your eyes is the true master of the Holy Fire.”

‘!!!!!!’
