Chapter 39
“Is the master doing well? I haven’t heard from him at all.”
Dan Woo-sung answered Yoo Jeong-hong’s question honestly.
“There has been no contact. The circumstances are similar to those of the former head of the Murong family.”
Yu Jeong-hong crossed his arms with a grave expression.
“Like Murong Chui? The King of Power’s juniors are usually hard to reach—is that the reason?”
“Yes, it’s been cut off.”
The unspoken words, “forever,” lingered bitterly in his mouth.
Yoo Jeong-hong sank deep into thought before responding thus.
“Then I shall relay this news to the Three Divine Elders, linking it to Junior Murong Chiu. Being wise seniors, they will exercise caution where needed and mobilize their forces to investigate if necessary.”
“Understood.”
Yoo Jeong-hong said with determination.
“We must grow stronger. When the Demon Path emerges, we’ll have no choice but to fight as we did before. It was likely an event before you were even born. I was present at the final battle against the Demon Path.”
“You mean the Battle of the Five Tombs?”
“Though known as the Battle of O-Ryeong, there was another little-known battle that followed. The Three Divine Beings fought over a single Grand Master of the Demon Path. It was the decisive battle of the war. Who could possibly understand the misery felt at that time?”
A deep sense of regret clung to Yoo Jeong-hong’s expression. His pride must have been deeply wounded at the time.
