Chapter 191: Secret Heavenly Journey
The Yunxian Sect, staying at a nearby inn to guide Baek Moo-jin, was dumbfounded when Baek Moo-jin appeared alone. The head of the Yunxian Sect extended his hand as if to suggest walking, and said to Baek Moo-jin.
“Master Baek, the others…”
“I have decided to go alone.”
“Hmm… How can you go to the Secret Heaven alone? I understand the Taebaek Sect has already sent word. Though the Secret Heaven has fewer members than most sects or clans, it harbors more unknown masters than any other faction in the martial world. It is the Secret Heaven, after all.”
But Baek Moo-jin’s resolve was firm.
“This matter is for the Lord of Bicheon and I to decide. If I go with the North Heaven Alliance and the other elders, it will literally spark a war. I am not going to wage war.”
“How could the Lord of the Heavenly Abyss possibly face Lord Baek alone? He will certainly send his subordinates… and then.”
The leader of the Yunhyeon Sect sighed as he spoke.
“The second young master is there. His name is Jin-wol, and he holds the position of administrator of the White Path. The reason I don’t want to fight Bicheon directly is precisely because of Jin-wol. I owe him a debt…”
“A second son?”
“Yes. He wasn’t exactly on good terms with the Taebaek Sect or other schools. He was openly disrespected. There’s talk he’s retiring due to illness… but according to Senior Sword Master and Senior Taoist Master, his martial prowess is beyond measure. They say he’s the man who could clash with the Second Young Master over the position of Lord of the Heavens. He always appeared weak before me, but if two kings say so, it must be true. Still, you intend to go alone? If you truly hesitate, it would be better to have the kings or at least Master Gu Yang accompany you. Truthfully, we can only guide the way… We know we lack the skill to intervene in such a fight.”
