#The question is wrong

Blood sect. Jo Yang-ak’s eyes popped out, and Ji Dae-ho’s mouth fell open.

“Where did you get such nonsense!”

“You must have forgotten, but I’m from the counterintelligence unit. If I’m a spy, I’m a very stubborn person. I can’t believe there’s no evidence. Think about it. How can the criminals of Doraok come out and call themselves assassins? Didn’t you feel something strange when you met them?”

“That, that’s just… … a certain… … skill unique to our school… … .”

What about skill? Since committing evil deeds is a daily occurrence for both of us, I guess they tolerated it and let it slide.

One, that is your downfall.

“You’re wrong. Doraok is the stronghold of the Blood Cult.”

“That’s ridiculous!”

“What did you give them in exchange for getting rid of me?”

“What are we giving them? We just turned a blind eye to what they’re doing… .”

“I guess you did give it.”

“No, that’s… … .”

“Then the deal is done. That’s what it’s like to be a spy. Sometimes you get hit without knowing, and sometimes you can’t overcome the moment. But that’s just a bitter monologue about the past. The important thing is that you’ve already made a deal with the Blood Cult. Whether you knew it or not.”

As soon as Jang Yi-seo finished speaking, Yuk Jang-ro Ma-ui opened his eyes wide and glared.

At this, Jo Yang-ak thought with a cold sweat.

‘It’s done.’

It doesn’t really matter whether Doraok is a blood cult member or not. But Jang Yi-seo’s remarks were truly dangerous.

Anyway, since Doraok’s atrocities have been exposed, they will be suppressed soon. But what if Jang-seo sprinkles salt called Blood Cult on it?

‘Iso Palace is annihilated!’

Jo Yang-ak shouted urgently.

“I really didn’t know. I didn’t know anything. Isn’t it all their problem!”

Yeah. That seems to be the case, so that’s a relief. It doesn’t seem like the devil’s reach has reached Isogung yet.

“But why didn’t you report it to your superiors? They had a problem, as you said. But you ignored it.”

Jang Yiseo asked with an extremely cold expression. At this, Jo Yang-ak stuttered with a dumbfounded face.

“That, that’s… … !”

“It must be because of greed. That’s why the Blood Cult came looking for you. They accepted their offer and judged you to be the one who could hide the secret elixir. They saw you as the same as them.”

“No… … . We are different!”

“Different? But you made a deal with the Blood Cult and hid them.”

“No! No! That can’t be true. Those guys… … .”

It was then that Jo Yang-ak thought as he looked at Jang Yi-seo, who was smiling calmly in front of him.

No matter what he says, he cannot escape the trap he has set… … .

‘This guy isn’t just evil… … he’s a demon.’

An evil spirit that will destroy the castle tower that he and his colleagues have painstakingly built.

A feeling of emptiness washed over me.

‘This guy… must be killed.’

The shadow of a grim reaper appeared on Jo Yang-ak’s face.

If things continue like this, I will die a dog’s death. No, perhaps I will meet an end worse than death.

That is something that cannot be done even if you die.

‘That bastard must be killed right here and now and his mouth must be shut. Absolutely!’

Jo Yang-ak’s eyes quickly looked left and right.

The distance between Jang Seo and me is only three steps.

At this rate, we can eliminate the bastard before the Horongdangju and Yukjangro get involved.

One hit is all it takes.

Just one hit.

And that is… …now!

“Die-!”

Pot! As soon as a pure white aura appeared in Jo Yang-ak’s hand, it shot forward like a poisonous snake.

A fatal move that will only kill you!

At this, Horongdangju and Asin were startled, and Yukjangro’s eyes opened wide.

And the chapter is… … .

“There’s something I never said. The real reason I survived in Jangho is… .”

He looked at the flying Jo Yang-ak indifferently and said this.

“It’s because you misunderstood me.”

Wedge!

The claws of Jo Yang-ak aiming for the heart!

At that moment, Jang Yi-seo’s new body flashed and disappeared, then he entered her arms and struck her lower jaw with a single blow.

Bam!

“Ugh!”

Bam! My body flips over and the back of my head hits the floor.

That moment when you feel dizzy from the incomprehensible developments that are more painful than anything else.

puck!

“Kahak!”

A dagger shot out like lightning and pierced the side of Jo Yang-ak’s head as he became excited.

“Uh, how… … ?”

“I also find this more convenient than talking.”

Choaaaak! The white thunder was sucked back into Jang Yiseo’s fingertips. Jo Yang-ak looked at him with eyes full of distrust.

“you…….”

I was completely wrong from the beginning. The failure of the Sword and Nose Slaughter was not due to other variables.

just…….

It was just much stronger than Jang Seo had thought.

From the beginning, he was a master who was difficult to guarantee victory even if he was properly attacked, let alone a surprise attack.

I just realized this simple thing.

“I will make a suggestion now.”

“Jang I-seo… … .”

“It’s a very good offer that allows us to coexist, so I won’t refuse.”

“Wh, what… … .”

“Give me everything you know about Doraok.”

“… … !”

A look of extreme fear appeared on Jo Yang-ak’s face.

It’s like looking at a natural enemy that you can never defeat no matter what you do. It’ll probably take a long time to get out of here.

A very, very long time.

*

Before we knew it, even the moon was covered by clouds.

When the situation calmed down, Jang Yi-seo, Ji Dae-ho, Ma-ui, and Jo Yang-ak sat facing each other in the east, west, south, and north. Asin stepped back behind Jang Yi-seo.

“What happened in Doraok?”

“Before that… …Can I say something first?”

“Do it.”

You’re still being informal to the end. What an arrogant bastard. Jo Yang-ak sighed deeply and opened his mouth.

“I don’t know what basis you have for saying that Doraok is a blood cult, but it’s a misunderstanding. It’s definitely not true.”

“I still haven’t come to my senses.”

When Jang Yi-seo narrowed his eyes and glared at him, he raised his hand and answered.

“Oh, I see. Ask. I’ll answer.”

“What happened in Doraok?”

“What happened? You asked the wrong question.”

“what?”

“Doraok has not changed.”

What I can’t understand is that nothing has changed. Even now, criminals are walking the streets.

“He just changed.”

As Jang Yiseo looked at him, Jo Yang-ak swallowed hard and continued speaking softly.

“A king was born in Doraok.”

A king.

“Everyone called him the Prison King.”

“Are you saying that someone has taken over Doraok?”

“No one from our school interferes with the order of Doraok in the first place. If there is someone who rules there, shouldn’t he be called a king?”

It was such an absurd story. However, Ji Dae-ho added that he could relate to some of it.

“Doraok is a prison without guards. They don’t care what happens between them. Falling into Doraok… … means giving up all rights as a human being on Earth.”

To put it simply, since they are not human, they do not need to be controlled by humans.

To be honest, Jang didn’t know much about the inside of Doraok. Once you go in, there’s almost nothing that comes out, and there’s no need to know anything about it.

“If there is no control… … . isn’t it possible that they might plot a rebellion?”

“They can rank themselves like beasts… … but treason is something they can’t even dream of.”

“Why?”

“When someone who has reached a higher level than the peak enters, the Danjeon is sealed directly in the Heavenly Demon Hall.”

Cheonmajeon! So that’s why I felt safe.

Then I understand.

When the Cheonmajeon appears, it means that the Lion of Light is appearing.

“It is impossible to break the seal unless you reach the level of the Lion of Light, or unless a master of that level releases it for you. That means you will never be able to use your internal energy again.”

My head nodded involuntarily.

If you are a light lion, you are a black night and a white night. They are all absolute beings who have reached the highest level. In terms of the Jeongpa, it means that only a master of Hwagyeong who has reached the state of enlightenment can do it.

“However, Galmuncheon and Geomno Ssangsal had clearly regained their internal energy.”

“I wonder that too.”

Ji Dae-ho also tilted his head. And then the three naturally turned their gaze to Jo Yang-ak.

Then he reluctantly opens his mouth.

“Pardoners. Those who regained their power were called pardoners.”

“That means… … .”

“That’s right, it’s not Doraok that has changed. It’s the Brain King. He has changed.”

So, does that mean that the Brain King has reached the highest level of the Demon King in Doraok?! That’s ridiculous. How can one reach the state of a divine being while their internal energy is forbidden?

As everyone was shocked, Jo Yang-ak just laughed and said.

“I clearly said earlier. Doraok cannot be a blood cult. Why? Brain Jade King is the prisoner who has been imprisoned there the longest. How can he be a blood cult? Does that make sense?”

“then…….”

“Cheon-ak-su-ra Un-gwang. He is the Brain Jade King.”

If he was Cheon-ak-sura, he was the master of the Sa brothers. And he had already been imprisoned in Dora-ok for over forty years. It was too long to be considered a servant of the Blood Cult.

“Okay. So what are they trying to do? They probably aren’t just joining hands with you to get some fresh air.”

“How would I know that? If we had sensed something strange, we wouldn’t have just stood by and watched. But they definitely went back to Doraeok quietly.”

“You don’t have any guesses?”

“I don’t know. Well, I guess I mostly traveled to the west.”

“west?”

When Jang Yiseo asked again, Ji Daeho and Ma Yi opened their mouths at the same time.

“So you were planning an escape.”

“You’re thinking of getting out, huh?”

A plausible inference. The west leads to a vast wilderness, making it difficult to pursue. Also, there are many rough terrains, so the number of guards is small compared to other places.

“Is that all you know?”

“That’s all I know. If you want to know more, go and find out for yourself.”

Jo Yang-ak stands up from his seat. Ma-ui and Ji Dae-ho follow suit, standing up as if on guard.

Jang Yi-seo waved his hand as if it was okay.

“Keep quiet about what happened today, Mr. Lee.”

“Huh, why should I listen to you any longer? And don’t let go of your words.”

“I’m saying this for your own good. If Doraok finds out that you opened your mouth and collapsed, will the Duke of Ikong stay still?”

Jo Yang-ak’s snake eyes widened. There was no way to refute it. Dora-ok was a hidden sword prepared by Lee Gong-ja.

If I ever find out that it was because of me that I was ruined… … .

‘Joe, if you do well, you will be rewarded. But you should also think about the opposite. I won’t tolerate it twice. You know better than anyone what I mean.’

I can’t even guarantee my life. I asked with my teeth trembling in indignation.

“Are you threatening me now?”

“Threats? It’s about helping each other. When you get back, tell me this. I think it would be a good idea to form an alliance with Chilsogung.”

“You’re going to toy with me until the end!”

“That can’t be. You know that. The competition between those who stand behind is meaningless. If they both agree, it’s nothing more than removing a big wall. You already know the power of Chilsogung.”

“… … Are you saying we should get rid of the Archduke?”

Jo Yang-ak’s two eyes shook. Wasn’t that what he had said to him earlier?

The only difference is that the roles of A and B have been switched and the subject and object have been reversed.

“Think carefully. We’re already in the same boat. What’s the wisest and most profitable way to go? Be sure to keep in touch with me in the future.”

Jang Yiseo laughs like an evil spirit. Jo Yangak looks up at the sky with vain eyes.

Is it an illusion that today feels so dark and distant?

It was a day of complete defeat.
