Lord?

At the words which came from Young Jeons mouth, Oh Muyang was shocked.

The person who he swore allegiance to is Muil.

Then what was this? And

Lord?

He had always called Muil, the one to be the lord. But now he was referring to this unknown man as Lord?

Oh Muyangs face turned angry.

Young Jeon what are you trying to play at here?

I apologize. It is as you heard though.

What?

Was this guy joking?

The person to be the Lord was abandoned and someone unheard of turned up and is now his new Lord? What happened?

He couldnt imagine what could have happened.

The middle aged man here didnt even give out more internal energy than a first rate warrior. And still, because of someone like this, he changed allegiance?

Srng!

Oh Muyang pulled out his sword and aimed it at the neck of the middle-aged man.

Are you turning your back on him for this guy?

Young Jeon didnt answer. Seeing him like that, Oh Muyang said to the middle aged man,

What did you do?

The middle-aged man just said,

I did nothing.

!?

Oh Muyang frowned.

It was due to the young voice he heard. It was a voice which didnt suit his appearance. But the voice seemed familiar.

It wasnt a voice he had heard often, but one of the voices he had heard rather recently.

I wondered who ordered this, but this is a face I saw before.

A face you saw?

Yes, I guess the reason you took Master Sa Muheo wasnt because he was a criminal then?

At those words Oh Muyangs eyes fluttered.

Only the officials of the academy knew that Sa Muheo, who had been in the academy for a while, was now being treated as a criminal to get him out.

At that, Oh Muyangs eyes widened.

You! No!

Only then did it hit him whose voice this could have belonged to.

Mumu!

He figured out who he was.

Although their meeting was brief in the academy, he remembered it because of this innocent tone.

And then the face was

Human skin mask.

He was sure.

When he saw the mask, he saw subtle differences in color near the face and the neck.

It seemed so high quality that it was hard to recognize unless one looked closely.

And when he found out the identity, he realized it.

Ha!

This wasnt the Southern Blade of the Emperor.

He thought it was strange for the man to suddenly come and help the True King when his whereabouts were unknown.

But when it came to Mumu, everything he heard just made sense now.

The guy must have been the one who protected his brother Yu Jin-sung and the princess too.

So the rumors are true?

Gulp!

Oh Muyang gulped without realizing.

He didnt fully believe the story around Mumu.

Even if he defeated Sa Muheo, and Kang Mui who was said to be someone in line to be a Lord, the Four Great Warriors are on a whole different level than them.

Rumors came that a student had defeated two of those monsters.

And now it seemed like the rumors were not false. If he is the one who protected the True King and his daughter, then surely he managed to bring them all here safely.

Kuk.

For this reason, he asked that Yu Jin-sung be captured, it was a precaution.

Rather, it turned out wrong. The only good thing here was that his neck was exposed.

I still have a chance.

No matter how strong he was, if the neck was penetrated, then he wouldnt be able to survive.

Oh Muyang concentrated his energy into his sword, and Mumu said,

Did you ask for my brother to be kidnapped because of me?

In the place where Young Jeon decided to stab him in the back, why did he have to lie?

Yes.

You admitted it right away.

It is a tough thing. I never thought that our plans would be shaken just because of you.

He was aware of the fact that all the plans in the academy went wrong because of Mumu. But that wasnt enough, and he continued to intervene.

In a way, he is more annoying than those Four Great Warriors who are their source of revenge.

It is daring that he chose to come all the way to this place which can be the same as an enemy camp. Well this will be your grave!

Shhh!

A blue energy rose on the sword of Oh Muyang. At the same time, the sword aimed at the neck penetrated.

Pak!

Huh?

The sword with enhanced energy didnt cut the throat. Rather the blade showed signs of breaking.

Crack!

Oh Muyang was dumbfounded at the sight of pieces of his sword falling down.

He realized he was careless.

But that wasnt it.

Was it because he didnt see Mumu even try to block it?

Shhh!

At that moment, something similar to smoke rose from the body of Mumu and the muscles around the neck began to turn thick and black.

T-this?

It is tough to keep it going for long.

Mumu was practicing on how to control his muscles with the bands. His heart pounded fast as the blood circulated around, and he could strengthen his muscles.

Creepy!

He didnt realize it until then just how tremendous the sense of intimidation was.

Damn it!

Oh Muyang was sure.

The fact that even if he struggled, nothing can be done was known.

So his choice was a simple one.

Pat!

Throw away the broken sword at Mumu like an assassins weapon. Since this is a palace, if there is an uproar, the Imperial Palace, the hidden troops, the East Spear troops, the West Spear troops, and the Uniformed Guards will move.

And no matter how strong he was, the power of the Imperial Palace could not be ignored. That is why even after infiltrating the troops, the Eight Evil families couldnt take control of the palace.

But

Where are you going?

Pak!

He couldnt even walk a single step before his head was grabbed.

Huh?

Mumu lifted the head he was holding onto, shocking Oh Muyang as he tried to shake off the hand of Mumu.

Papapat!

His kicks had no effect on Mumu. Rather, it was on the level of itching him, so he flicked the stomach of Oh Muyang.

Puak!

Kuak!

As soon as the stomach was hit, he felt like puking.

It looked like a light flick, but he could taste the blood inside his mouth, shocking him once again.

This guy didnt even try his best, he just flicked his fingers.

M-monstrous brat.

He thought this child was on the same level as the Four Great Warriors, but this was more than expected.

Oh Muyang had spread internal energy inside, but it didnt do anything.

Is this really the power of the one on the side of the Forces of Justice?

He didnt know how such a monster like this appeared on their side.

Oh Muyang stared at Mumu.

Even if he tried not to, he had ended up comparing Mumu to the one he swore loyalty to. They might have qualifications to lead, but Mui and Muil will have to kneel in front of this one.

This one had the most incomparable talent when compared to them. Especially

Muil

He had a special body constitution that most people of Murim wished for.

His blessed body made Muil seem like a monster.

Was it said that a monsters opponent is a monster?

It seemed like only Muil could handle Mumu,

Before that I need to inform him.

Oh Muyang gritted his teeth.

He tried not to do much, but the only way to deal with him would be with Deadly Blood Demonic Arts, which makes the entire body stronger for half an hour.

It was a technique which shouldnt be used, and when used no one can counter it

Swish! Crack!

Oh Muyang began to make the energy in the body flow back, and he tried to make a run in a mess.

Puak!

At that moment, Mumu flicked in his stomach again.

Kuaaak!

Once again, Oh Muyangs back bent in pain with the internal organs twisting and stopping the technique.

No use, so dont bother using it.

What?

Looks like you tried to make the eyes go red.

!?

Oh Muyang was shocked. Did this guy come across someone using this? He didnt expect him to know and stop it.

Ugh

He wanted to shout and make a mess by calling attention to them, but the voice wouldnt come out. Mumu said to him in an emotionless tone,

Are you Muoh?

What?

Oh Muyangs eyes widened at this.

His real name was Yang Muoh.

He was blocked by a talent which he couldnt overcome and gave up on being a Lord, but he too was one of the five people holding a jade plaque.

Cough cough, w-who are you? How do you know?

Even in the Eight Evil families, the ones who knew it were the Demon Blood Clan and the Heavenly Killing Valley.

So how did he come to know about this?

While he was shocked there came a familiar chuckle.

Puah.

Turning to the direction of it, he saw Kang Mui.

Mui?

Yang Muoh was more confused to see Kang Mui with restraints on his wrists and ankles. He thought Kang Mui was detained in the academy building, so why is he here?

He was puzzled, but Kang Mui waved his index finger to the side with a smile.

Clench!

He was speechless but he knew what it meant.

Give up. It will get easier.
