Chapter 221: What Was Left Behind (2)
Long ago, when I was forced to attend the sect leaders’ meeting after being dealt with by Garip, the deputy leader of the Outer Sect.
Master Taicheng and Master Bukgung, who had come to see me, once had this conversation.
‘Long time no see. How is Master Chunbu?’
‘It’s been over ten years since he entered Mount Daeseol, and I’ve heard nothing, but I imagine he’s fine.’
“True, few in the world could handle him. Anyway, might I borrow this fellow?”
‘Since the Great Purity Immortal of the Pierced Eye requires it, I must naturally offer it.’
A master recognized by the Great Purity Immortal, known as the Nine Dragons’ First Sword.
Even then, I wondered who he was, but soon forgot.
I figured asking wouldn’t get me an answer anyway, and back then, I was determined to leave Nine Dragons City the moment I saved up my target amount.
And it was much later that I heard the story about the former king.
‘I’m telling you. That beggar was begging before the master, but when the master stepped out and said a few words, he just turned and left.’
‘No way, that makes sense? What kind of people are those Ten-Horse Clan bastards….’
‘I was curious too, so I asked the Sixth Martial Hero. Well, that beggar fellow—you know, the one called the War King?’
The male and female of the Ten Demon Clan who lured Jin Geuk, the head of Geumryongdang, and even targeted Han Jung.
But Hanjung remained unscathed.
It was the War King, who was in Hanzhong at the time, who forced the Ten Demon Alliance’s forces, led by the Twin-Sword Demon Zhao Guang, to retreat.
