dark cavity.
A single luminous star softly illuminates a wide space.
What appeared to be a common entrance was blocked by a large rock to prevent anyone from entering.
There were numerous traces of long-term training inside the room, and there was not a single spot that was untouched.
In the middle of the room is an old man in an old robe sitting in meditation.
A hot mist rose up from the body of the old man, who had his eyes closed as if meditating.
Within, the azaleas created a whirlpool of energy by swirling around.
Eventually, the energy rose and became so strong that it took over the entire common space.
-Kwaaang!
The rocks shattered in the wake of the spreading energy.
“Hahahahaha!”
A hearty laugh flowed from the mouth of the old man who had his eyes closed.
Three old men in shaman robes entered the dusty room.
Among the old men, the one with only black hair in the middle took the lottery ticket and said.
“I congratulate you on your achievements in the Muwon-gong. My lord.”
“Your Majesty, I congratulate you.”
The old man nodded to their congratulations and stood up from his seat.
The old Taoist priest opens his eyes.
His left eye was sparkling with gold.
But not only that, the other three Taoists also each had one golden pupil.
The old man called Ambassador spoke to the Taoists.
“The time is finally ripe.”
“Ambassador!”
The three Taoists were deeply moved by his words.
They have been waiting only for this moment.
The old man with the black hair in the middle spoke in an excited voice.
“They say that the Goocheon of the Moon nation tasted the gall bladder for a long time and recalled the humiliation, but would they wait as long as the great general and our Mosanpa? They have waited only for this day.”
“The old man is like that too.”
The old Taoist priest called Ambassador extended his hand.
Then, the old sword that had been rolling around on the floor was sucked into his hand.
-Okay!
The old man holding the sword spoke with a determined voice.
“It’s been about two hundred years since we came to this Kirin Mountain. We have been eating the blood of animals and humans to survive.”
The Taoists groaned as they recalled that moment.
How many miserable years have I spent trying to survive and become strong.
The moment has come to repay those years of suffering.
“The day has finally come when we will take revenge on that bastard Geum Sang-je who betrayed us and used us until the end, and on the martial arts world who drove our Mosan faction into public strife.”
“I have been waiting for the day when His Majesty the Ambassador would achieve greatness in martial arts.”
“You have suffered greatly. If it had not been for the efforts of the priests, I would not have been able to achieve greatness in Muwon-gong. First, I will receive a bloody price from that bastard, Geumsangje.”
The expressions on the three Taoists' faces became strange at the sound of his voice, which was full of determination.
The Taoist called Ambassador asked in puzzlement at their reaction.
“Why are you doing that?”
As soon as he noticed, the Taoist man with only black hair in the middle spoke cautiously.
“Your Excellency, I have something to tell you.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Many things have happened in the five years since His Majesty began his retreat. Especially in the past year.”
“In one year? What happened to make that happen?”
“It seems that the Golden Emperor has really died.”
"…….what?"
At those words from the Taoist master, the expression on the face of the Taoist master, who was called the great master, hardened.
Who is the golden prize winner?
Wasn't he a monster who had obtained Seo Bok's secret method of immortality and reached the highest level of martial arts, albeit incompletely?
He was also the one who used and then abandoned the Mosanpa for a long time.
“How!”
He was a Taoist who practiced martial arts with all his might just to defeat him.
But when I heard that he had died, I couldn't help but feel shocked beyond despair.
“Is that true?”
“I am sure.”
“Are you sure? Who the hell killed that guy?”
“It is said that he died at the hands of a woman named Yeon-saeng, the best master of the imperial family.”
"what?"
The Taoist monk called Daesahyeong was dumbfounded by his words.
It was hard to believe that the monstrous being was killed by a mere female martial artist.
“Aren’t you the descendant of the swordsman he was afraid of?”
Geumsangje was afraid of Geomseon's descendants.

So, he urged the descendants of the Mosanpa to complete Seo Bok's imperfect secret of immortality.
Because of this, countless disciples lost their lives.
The Taoist man, whose hair was black only in the middle, answered.
“…….Yes. It is said that the royal family made a grand announcement about the bastard’s head and praised the achievements of the King’s personal guard, Yeon-saeng. I heard that he was given the rank of Vice Admiral of the Royal Guards while still a woman.”
"under!"
I was honestly blown away.
All the hard work I had done just to kill him became meaningless in an instant.
The Taoist called Ambassador raised his voice in an angry tone.
“Why are you revealing this fact now?”
“……It was an important closing, and even if the Emperor of the Golden Palace died, our long-cherished wish would not end there, right?”
“Ahhh.”
At the words of the priest, a faint sigh escaped from the mouth of the man called the great master.
That was right.
Even if Geum Sang-je died, it was the beginning of revenge.
In order to resolve their grudge, they had to sort out their relationships not only with the Geumsangje but also with other Taoist monks and martial artists who had been at odds with them.
“Priest, you are right. That Geumsangje is just another mountain that he passes through. He is not everything.”
“That’s right. And in a way, it could be heaven helping us.”
“Heaven help me?”
“If that cunning Geumsangje is afraid of us rising again, there’s no telling what he might do.”
“Yeah. That guy might do that.”
Didn't you spend your whole life hiding in fear of the descendants of the swordsman?
If it were him, he might hide himself even more and plot a scheme, being wary of them who have been preparing thoroughly with all their might.
Then suddenly I changed my mind and realized that his life was really strange.
'The author who so desired eternal life……'
Who would have thought it would end up this vain?
When he failed to find out Seo Bok's secret technique, he tried to destroy the Mosan faction simply because he knew about it.
Looking at things like this, it seems like there is such a thing as karma.
'hmm.'
I became curious about that woman named Yeon-saeng.
Just how strong and clever would it take for an ordinary woman of martial arts to kill a serpent like the Golden Emperor who had lived for hundreds of years?
The Taoist man, lost in thought for a moment, said:
“If I kill that woman named Yeon-saeng, I will be able to bring down the morale of the entire martial arts world and the royal family.”
If you kill the golden emperor, you can practically say that you are close to the top.
Anyway, the descendants of the Sword Master disappeared hundreds of years ago and have not even been seen, so they may have passed away or become Uhwadengseon long ago.
“Nothing is as effective as killing the peak.”
To him, the Taoist man with only black hair in the middle shook his head and said.
“Your Majesty. She is also considered the best in the martial arts world, but the current pinnacle of the martial arts world is someone else.”
"what?"
The Taoist called Ambassador frowned.
Is there anyone stronger than the woman who killed Geum Sang-je?
“Who is it?”
“I am Jin Yun-Hwi, the best swordsman in the world.”
“The best sword in the world?”
Just by hearing his nickname, you could tell that he was at the top of the martial arts world.
It was surprising that after the Sword Mastery, there was no one in the martial arts world who was called the best in the world.
“A lot has changed since it closed.”
“He is a descendant of the Sword Master.”
"what?"
The face of the Taoist monk known as Daesahyeong distorted terribly at the mention of being a descendant of Geomseon.
For the Mosan faction, even the Sword Master was no different from their enemy.
However, the descendant of that swordsman is alive and well and reigns at the top of the current martial arts world, so the will to fight is rekindled.
“The descendant of the Sword Master is alive? Hahahahahahahaha!”
A Taoist called the ambassador who explodes madness.
The Taoist man, who had black hair only in the middle, spoke carefully to him.
“One death penalty. You can’t let your guard down. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the death penalty that has achieved greatness in Muwon-gong is the greatest in the past and present, but there are rumors that he killed Jiaolong.”
“Kill the dragon? Are you talking about that fallen spirit?”
“Yes. We also had a hard time believing it when we heard it, but many people were watching…”
It was that very moment.
-Kurrrrrr!
"laugh!"
“A common?”
The entire space shook as if an earthquake had occurred due to the massive energy emanating from the Taoist monk known as the Ambassador.
“What’s the point of killing the dragon?”
-Gooooooo!
It was so incredible that I felt sick and dizzy.
“Do you think I can’t do that?”
'This is an internal energy that is beyond the realm of humans.'
'You are truly an ambassador!'
After confirming the power of this type of ambassador, any remaining anxiety completely disappeared.
Even if they killed the spiritual being, the dragon, they thought that their own great-great-grandfather would be able to do the same.
'If we have the ambassador and the bloodthirsty ones, we can achieve the sect's goal!'
Bloodstain is the result of research to discover the secrets of the secret arts.
They are nothing more than artificially created monsters.
They become stronger by drinking blood, and their strength is comparable to that of first-class masters even without learning martial arts.
'The scariest thing about a vampire is its proliferation.'
Those whose blood is sucked by a vampire become vampires themselves.
They were the origin of these.
That's why even the newly emerging bloodlines moved according to their orders.
We have secured over three thousand bloodthirsty demons so far, and if we release them into the Central Plains, they will multiply in an instant.
If that happens, bloody revenge will begin.
It was a moment when I was about to get excited with anticipation.
-Tata tata tak!
I heard someone running.
He was a bloodthirsty demon with yellow eyes and sharp teeth.
“Ugh… something… bad.”
Although they were beast-like bloodthirsty creatures, some of them had a clear sense of self.
These were the ones who controlled other demons through them.
The Taoist, whose hair was black only in the middle, asked with a puzzled look.
“What is going on?”
“The enemy…has…invaded….and is advancing…while killing…our…own…kin.”
“What? The enemy is invading?”
At the bloodthirsty man's words, the Taoists all looked at the great master.
He was the leader since he broke through the barrier.
The Taoist called the Ambassador flew the new type first, and the other three Taoist followed him.
“Who broke in?”
An ordinary person would be overwhelmed by the demon's momentum and unable to move.
However, if you are going all the way to this place called the Three Great Forbidden Zone and killing blood demons to advance, you are not an ordinary expert.
The Taoist, whose hair was black only in the middle, said:
“No matter how strong you are, you can’t handle all three thousand demons. If it’s been a while since you invaded, you might have become another demon by now…”
He didn't even finish his words,
The sight they saw as they came out of the room left the brothers speechless.
'!?'
I couldn't believe it even after seeing it.
All those bloodthirsty demons have collapsed with their heads exploded.
I was speechless at the massive amount of blood and brain matter soaking the floor.
At best, there were only about thirty vampires left alive.
But even that,
-Papapapapapak!
His head exploded and he died.
The regenerative powers of demons were different from those of humans, but their heads were their weak point.
They're slaughtering them as if they knew it.
“What the heck is that guy…..”
They saw a young man walking across this place, his eyes stained with blood.
Blood is splattering everywhere, but the young man, whose clothes are not stained with blood, has a calm expression on his face, as if he had just gone out for a walk.
'That appearance….could it be?'
At that moment, the eyes of the black-haired Taoist monk grew wide.
Among the Taoists, he was the only one who traveled outside of Hyulorim to obtain information from the outside world.
The moment I saw the young man's tall appearance and figure, I was immediately reminded of someone.
“The best sword in the world!”
The brothers were shocked at his words.
If it's Jin Yun-hwi, the best swordsman in the world, isn't he the man considered the pinnacle of the current martial arts world and the one who killed the dragon they were talking about just a moment ago?
“Are you saying that the author of the death sentence is a descendant of that swordsman?”
“If the rumors are true, then it is certain.”
“……This is unbelievable strength. How can the demons be so helpless?”
It took a really long time to acquire this many bloodthirsty creatures.
But it was becoming so vain.
Just a moment ago, the head of the last vampire exploded, killing every single one of the vampires I could see.
No. Only one survived.
It was a bloodthirsty man who came to report to them.
The bloodthirsty man was standing behind them, looking at the scene before his eyes with a face full of fear.
'…….That's a monster.'
The masters of Mosanpa could not hide their tension.
The descendants of the Sword Master were even more monstrous than they had imagined.
Their only hope was their own ambassador.
“Your Majesty. You can deal with him…”
“That’s pretty good. Yes. At that level, you should be able to deal with the highest level of the master swordsman.”
“Ahhhh!”
“As expected, it’s the ambassador!”
Their eyes filled with hope at the words of the ambassador who still had not lost his arrogance and confidence.
I was confident that even if he was a descendant of a monstrous swordsman, he would never be pushed back by the ambassador.
He spoke to the priests with a surge of courage.
“Just watch. His end.”
-Pot!
As soon as he finished speaking, their lines rushed towards him with incredible momentum.
They didn't take their eyes off him.
Another fight to determine the supremacy of the martial arts world is about to begin.
It was the moment I thought of it.
-Whack!
The head of the great general who had been rushing towards Jin Yun-hwi, the best swordsman in the world, was blown away.
It happened in an instant.
'!!!'
-Roll, roll!
The head of an ambassador rolling on the floor.
The three Taoists who were the only ones to survive from the Mosanpa clan could not close their mouths, their eyes wide as if they were going to burst.
