Usually, ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍it is operated by the government, but the sects of the martial world also create and use facilities for similar purposes.

For ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍such purposes as disciplining someone who has committed a wrongdoing in the sect or capturing and confining an enemy.

And ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍now, in the prison of the Hegemon Blade Sect….

“Wow. ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍To think I’d even come to a prison in my life. You really have to live long to see everything.”

Patrick looked around as if he found it fascinating.

In fact, it might be hard to believe, but….

“So this is what it feels like to be in prison. This is strange.”

Surprisingly, Patrick had never been imprisoned in both his past and present lives.

This was his first time.

Isn’t that truly surprising?

“It’s cozy, not bad.”

Seeing Patrick like that, the disciples of the Hegemon Blade Sect who were guarding the door in front of the prison trembled.

Patrick looked at those guys and….

“What are you looking at? With your face all swollen like you’ve been beaten somewhere.”

You were the one who beat me, weren’t you?

You….

The disciples of the Hegemon Blade Sect trembled, but they couldn’t say a word back.

It was because they knew what kind of monster the one in front of them was.

Normally, they should have put heavy shackles made of black iron on that prisoner’s hands and feet.

However….

“Get lost. Shoo, shoo!”

Who would dare to put a bell on a tiger’s neck?

“Everyone, retreat.”

“Team Leader. Will it be alright?”

“…If it’s not alright?”

“I’m sorry.”

And so, after the disciples of the Hegemon Blade Sect left and Patrick was left alone in the prison, he thought.

With this, the primary objective has been achieved.

For the time being, I just need to watch the situation and wait for the right time according to that ugly bastard’s plan.

As he thought that….

“I’m craving a drink.”

Who could stop this man?

* * *

The Second Sect Leader of the Hegemon Blade Sect.

Demonic Emperor Great Emperor Mu Gyeol.

He was now sitting in his pavilion, tilting his cup with a heavy expression.

In front of him, two men were sitting.

Hot-Blooded Hegemon Emperor Yu Ho-bang.

Red Brow Godly Demon Jo Se-geuk.

They were the second and third disciples in the ranking of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor, and both were Mu Gyeol’s confidants.

Among them, Yu Ho-bang spoke first.

“Sect Leader. You have had too much to drink.”

“Hoooo…. How can I not drink?”

“……”

Mu Gyeol emptied the newly filled cup in one gulp and then slammed it down on the table.

And with a voice boiling from within, he said.

“What in the world is that? That monster….”

Mu Gyeol realized it right after exchanging a single blow with Patrick.

He realized that there was an absolute gap between him and Patrick.

Even though he was an existence called a great master who had reached the state of the profound realm, the moment he faced Patrick, he had to feel a despairing difference.

Normally, such a vast gap.

Even if his sense of reality was diminished, he wouldn’t have been able to acknowledge it right away.

But Mu Gyeol was different.

Because he had already felt this feeling before.

“To think there was another monster like Master.”

Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor.

A giant who would cast a shadow over Mu Gyeol’s mind for the rest of his life.

Even though he had reached the state of the mature profound realm and declared the revival of the Hegemon Blade Sect, when he thought of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor, it didn’t seem like he could win.

And the moment he saw Patrick, he felt the same feeling.

Even while watching Patrick, who had declared his surrender and was being dragged away defenseless by his subordinates.

Mu Gyeol raised his cup again with a trembling hand and said.

“What do you two think?”

“What do you mean?”

“Can we win?”

“……”

“……”

Yu Ho-bang and Jo Se-geuk couldn’t answer.

Although not to the same extent as Mu Gyeol, they were also supreme masters who commanded the martial world.

They could faintly sense Patrick’s skill.

And above all, the fact that this hegemonic Mu Gyeol was trembling in such fear was itself….

‘Proof that he’s a monster, I guess?’

‘He might really be an existence that has reached a transcendent state comparable to Master.’

In fact, they could only think of Dang Gyegwang and Hwangbo Wicheon, who had challenged that monster, as foolish.

Can we win?

Is that even possible?

At least Mu Gyeol had thrown a punch at Patrick.

But these two had not been able to do anything.

The level of martial study is such that you can see as much as you know.

The moment they faced Patrick, these two found it hard to even breathe.

In the gloomy atmosphere, only the sound of Mu Gyeol emptying his cup could be heard.

And just then….

“Sect Leader, are you inside?”

A familiar voice came from outside.

“Come in.”

The person who entered with Mu Gyeol’s permission was a man with handsome features like a young nobleman and dressed like a scholar.

White Face Death Lord Yu Seop.

The seventh disciple of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor and the last to join the Hall Heads of the Hegemon Blade Sect.

He came inside and said.

“You seem to have many worries.”

“……”

Mu Gyeol didn’t answer.

Unlike his confidants Yu Ho-bang and Jo Se-geuk, Yu Seop was a person to whom he found it difficult to reveal his inner thoughts.

No, more than that….

‘I can’t tell what this snake-like bastard is thinking.’

Mu Gyeol was secretly wary of Yu Seop.

In terms of martial arts level, he might be superior, but that guy was somehow unsettling.

Yu Seop, whether he knew Mu Gyeol’s mind or not, continued to speak.

“As you may have felt, that one… is probably an existence of the same kind as Master.”

“…So?”

“We have no way to face him with our current strength. The senior brothers must also know this well.”

He changed his words from Sect Leader to senior brothers and also sought the agreement of Yu Ho-bang and Jo Se-geuk next to him.

If even one person had objected to Yu Seop’s words, he could have been punished for undermining the Sect Leader’s authority, but….

“……”

“……”

No one objected.

They also agreed.

Yu Seop read their atmosphere and said.

“There is only one way to overcome this crisis and achieve the hegemony of the Hegemon Blade Sect. We must find the Fourth Senior Brother as soon as possible.”

At that, the hand of Mu Gyeol, who had been continuously filling and emptying his cup, stopped.

And Yu Ho-bang, who was next to him, said.

“Haven’t we been looking for him all this time? So what’s with the sudden new words?”

“Is that really so?”

“What?”

“I’m asking if we have truly been searching for the Fourth Senior Brother with all our hearts.”

“……”

Yu Seop looked at the three with sharp eyes and said.

“In fact, until now, it didn’t matter if the Fourth Senior Brother was there or not. Since there was no one in the current martial world who could stop the Eldest Senior Brother, unifying the martial world was a piece of cake just by gathering the forces of the Hegemon Blade Sect.”

“That was true.”

Mu Gyeol answered for the first time.

His junior brother and the fourth disciple of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor.

Poisonous Hand Ghost Doctor Gongson Sang.

The reason for trying to find him was due to his personal greed to obtain hegemony more easily.

But to be honest….

“I did think it wouldn’t matter if he wasn’t there.”

Yu Ho-bang and Jo Se-geuk also let out a small sigh and nodded as if in agreement.

“I think I did think that it would be nice if he were here, but it would be possible even without him.”

“Hmmm….”

To them, Yu Seop said in a firm voice.

“I also agreed with the senior brothers’ thoughts. But not anymore. To face that monster, the existence of the Fourth Senior Brother is absolutely necessary.”

“……”

“We must find the Fourth Senior Brother and perform the grand art so that the Eldest Senior Brother can become the true successor of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor. That is the only way for us to defeat that monster and maintain our hegemony.”

Mu Gyeol, who had heard Yu Seop’s remonstrance, nodded and said.

“Yes. You are right.”

“Thank you for listening to this younger brother’s humble opi—”

“However!”

Mu Gyeol cut him off sharply and glared at Yu Seop, saying.

“Even if we start searching with all our hearts from now on, there is no telling when we will find Gongson Sang.”

“Hmm….”

“Honestly, if that guy is determined to hide, I don’t think we can find him no matter how much money and manpower we use.”

“The Eldest Senior Brother is right.”

“Then tell me the method. A smart guy like you wouldn’t just say something foolish like, ‘we just have to do our best,’ would you?”

Mu Gyeol was in a state where he would smash his head the moment he said such foolish things.

But Yu Seop smiled at him and said.

“I do have a humble thought.”

“Let’s hear it.”

“Yes. That is….”

Yu Seop laid out his strategy.

After hearing all of it, Mu Gyeol stroked his chin and said.

“Hooo….”

Beside him, who was admiring, Yu Ho-bang and Jo Se-geuk said.

“Sect Leader. It doesn’t sound bad to me.”

“It’s a plan of reality and illusion, and if we do it well, we can catch two rabbits at once.”

At their words, Mu Gyeol also said as if in agreement.

“Good. Let the seventh be responsible and proceed.”

Calling him the seventh instead of by his name was a sign of a very small amount of trust and favor.

It was a favor as light as a speck of dust that would be blown away by the wind, but Yu Seop….

“I will complete this mission by dedicating my life.”

He knelt down and touched his forehead to the floor, showing an attitude as if he would carry it out with a life-or-death resolve.

Mu Gyeol smiled with satisfaction and looked at the back of Yu Seop’s head.

Therefore….

‘The first gate has been passed.’

He could not see what kind of expression Yu Seop was making now.

* * *

Yu Seop let out a sigh and headed for the prison of the Hegemon Blade Sect.

His steps were much heavier than when he was heading to the Sect Leader’s room where Mu Gyeol was waiting.

But he couldn’t help it.

‘To catch a tiger, you must go into the tiger’s den.’

He steeled his heart and headed for the prison.

When he reached the entrance, the gatekeepers were guarding the entrance with stern expressions.

“Is the prisoner inside?”

“Yes. That is correct.”

“Open the gate. I will go inside.”

“I’m sorry, Hall Head. Without the Sect Leader’s instructions….”

Yu Seop showed the jade tablet he had received directly from Mu Gyeol to the gatekeeper who was speaking.

“The Sect Leader has delegated full authority to me.”

“Ah…. Yes? Yes!”

“Open it immediately.”

“Yes. Understood.”

The gatekeepers who received Yu Seop’s order answered hastily and then began to open the prison gate.

The prison of the Hegemon Blade Sect was indeed built with great security.

After passing through three iron gates weighing over 100 guan.

“Please wait a moment.”

The guards touched and operated the mechanism device next to them.

Only after disarming the installed mechanism formation….

“You may go inside.”

He was able to enter the prison of the Hegemon Blade Sect.

Having arrived in this way, Yu Seop could finally see.

“Keeuuu…. As expected, Jiannanchun is the best in Sichuan.”

A prisoner drunk on alcohol.

‘What is this?’

Yu Seop was momentarily dumbfounded.

A prisoner who should be in shackles in prison was like this?

There were liquor bottles rolling on the floor and dishes from who knows where, with steam rising from them….

“You guys….”

When Yu Seop glared at the guards, they immediately prostrated themselves.

“We don’t know. How did this happen….”

“Does that make sense?”

“It’s true.”

“Please spare us.”

When Yu Seop pressed them, revealing his killing intent, the guards also spoke desperately.

Just then, from inside the prison….

THWACK!

Something flew and hit Yu Seop squarely on the back of his head.

“Ugh….”

He looked to see what had hit him on the back of his head and fallen….

‘A chicken bone?’

It was clearly the bone of a gnawed-on chicken leg.

And from inside the prison….

“You Unorthodox Alliance bastard, where are you releasing your killing intent while an elder is enjoying his drink? I’ll just smash you to pieces!”

Yu Seop flared up for a moment, but he couldn’t do anything.

If his thoughts were correct, to that existence, he was no different from an ant crawling at its feet.

What meaning would an ant’s anger and resentment have to a giant?

No meaning at all.

‘I must endure it for now.’

He raised both hands and made a fist-and-palm salute, saying.

“I am Yu Seop, the seventh disciple of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor and also serving as the Hall Head of the Hegemon Blade Sect. In the martial world, I am called the White Face Death Lord.”

At the polite self-introduction, Patrick glanced at him and said.

“So you’re also a disciple of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor?”

“That is correct.”

“Come here.”

Patrick beckoned with his finger.

Even at that humiliating gesture, as if calling a neighborhood dog, Yu Seop obediently complied.

And Patrick, with the prison bars between them, looked at Yu Seop intently and….

“I don’t know.”

“……”

“Tsk, Sona is good at this kind of thing.”

“……”

“As they say, even dog poop is nowhere to be found when you need it for medicine. Why isn’t she coming?”

And Patrick, grumbling, sat down again and enjoyed his alcohol and food.

And Yu Seop….

“I came here because I have something to tell you.”

“Don’t. Being asked questions while drinking is the fifty-fourth thing I hate.”

“Understood. Then I will wait.”

“Huh?”

And Yu Seop, as if he were a servant waiting for his superior, knelt outside the prison and waited calmly.

Patrick, looking at Yu Seop, scratched his head and said.

“Damn it…. If you come out like that, it makes me look like the bad guy, doesn’t it?”

Because that’s the truth.
