Chapter 101.The Move of The Four Powers
It was early morning.
No Jin Nyung stood up from his spot ashe stretched his tired body.
Ashe stretched, he took a look atCho Ryu Hyang right next to him.
He seems to have slept more thanbefore?
Cho Ryu Hyang usually woke up ata regular time every day.
He would wake up oncehe got enough sleep forhimself.
Butsomething was different today.
Is he tired?
No Jin Nyung didnt think much of it atfirst.
He only felt thatsomething was wrong whenhis master didnt wake up evenafternoon.
Rumble-
Around the time whenthe No Jin Nyungs stomach began to rumble,
No Jin Nyung, whodidnt really know what to do, ended up turning a little mechanism above Cho Ryu Hyangs bed.
Huu-
With a small shake, some invisible presence thathad blocked No Jin Nyung beforehand disappeared..
No Jin Nyung carefully walked right beside Cho Ryu Hyangs bed, andturned the mechanism back to its original spot.
Whoosh-
A hot wind surrounded the general area, andformed a circular barrier around Cho Ryu Hyang.
It was a sort of a defensive formation Cho Ryu Hyang set up beforesleeping.
I never get tired of seeing this.
The first time the heir showed him this formation, No Jin Nyung was surprised out of his mind.
There was a way to separate the inside andthe outside completely, just by fiddling with a simple mechanism?
Moreover, not evenhe, a harmonious expert, was able to sense the formation.
Only whenhe focused his senses to the utmost was he able to sense thatsomething was there.
Ifan outsider unknowingly went in, he would be trapped inside an invisible prison.
Well
No Jin Nyung frowned oncehe deactivated the formation andneared the bed.
He could see thatthe heirs face was slightly contorted.
Eh? Is he having a nightmare?
Should he wake him up?
Orshould he let him sleep?
Ashe contemplated onwhat he should do, a small moan escaped Cho Ryu Hyangs lips.
Mmm.
Cho Ryu Hyang seemed extremely painful.
No Jin Nyung decided to stop thinking, andjust wake up his master.
However.
Chichichi-
Uee?
No Jin Nyung moved back, andshook off the electricity thatcoiled up his arm.
Chuaa-!
Electricity dissipated into the air, causing No Jin Nyungs hair to stand, butNo Jin Nyung was unable to pay attention to that.
A living person outputting electricity?
Was this something thatevenmade sense?
No Jin Nyung was extremely shocked, buthe had no time to dwell onhis surprise. A warning bell was going off inhis mind.
Lim bro, you there?
[What the heck was that?]
No Jin Nyung looked somewhere outside the defensive formation ashe heard the question from the leader of the Maras Wind Division.
Looks like something happened to the heir. Well need a doctor.
AssoonasNo Jin Nyung finished his sentence, a Lim Hak Gyum emerged from the darkness.
I sent my subordinate. The doctor should be here soon. May I go inas well?
Shoot, wait a second.
No Jin Nyung disabled the formation, andlet Lim Hak Gyum come in.
You should take a look aswell, Lim bro. Im dumb, soI cant really see whats wrong here..
Lim Hak Gyum nodded ashe listened to No Jin Nyung talk to him asifhe was some old man next door.
He had felt this multiple times before, butthis No Jin Nyung was extremely immature, contrary to his power.
Becauseof that, he had been distrustful of the man before, butit seemed thathis worries were needless.
No Jin Nyungs face was filled with fear anddesperation right now.
The man honestly was worried of Cho Ryu Hyang.
Lim Hak Gyum made a serious face, andput his hand onCho Ryu Hyang.
Then..
Chichichi-
Lim Hak Gyum got struck by the electricity andgot repelled back.
Butbecausehe had been protecting himself beforehand, the damage he took inwas less thanNo Jin Nyungs.
Mm.
The electricity was stronger thanhe had expected.
Lim Hak Gyum quickly used his inner energy to dissipate the electricity inhis body.
What do you think, Lim bro? Whyis he sleeping forso long? Is he just tired? Evenso, I never heard of anyone shooting electricity whilesleeping, sowhats going on?
Lim Hak Gyum, instead of responding, carefully dissipated the electricity inside him. He let out a deep breath, andresponded.
There was a time whenthe heir became like this inthe past. Buthe didnt show such a violent reaction like this.
No Jin Nyung became confused whenLim Hak Gyum spoke uncertainly.
Was this beforeI was there?
Yes.
How did he wake up then?
He woke up a few days afterthe Pope took a look athim.
Really? Then we just have to wait? Thats simple.
No Jin Nyung smiled, asifhe was happy with the unexpectedly simple method to cure his master.
ButLim Hak Gyum shook his head.
We cant be sure. Afterall, the pope himself was there.
Do we have to get the pope here then?
Thats quite difficult aswell. Theres still a month tillhe would come.
Hm.
No Jin Nyung began to stroke his chin with a frown.
He was beginning to do something thatdidnt suit him atall, whichwas to think.
Lim Hak Gyum made a difficult face aswell.
The current situation outside wasnt very good.
Just the fact alone thatthe Alliance andthe Black Moon Guild got into an alliance was problematic.
But.
Unexpectedly enough, the heir was quite calm about this.
It was almost asifhe had expected this.
ButLim Hak Gyum knew thatthe heir did not know anything about this.
Right then.
Vuun vun vun-
A purple energy began to flow from the heirs body.
Whats this?
WhenNo Jin Nyung took a look atwhat was inside, he found a set of bracelets thatemitted a strange light.
They were bracelets thatCho Ryu Hyang received onthe way to Sichuan, the bracelets thatserved to repress the Shura Environment.
This bracelet was currently trembling whilst emitting a purple light.
The heir really has a lot of strange toys.
No Jin Nyung looked atthe bracelet with an interested face, then turned to Lim Hak Gyum.
He didnt know what to do.
Bang-!
Right then, Un Hui opened the door ran inwith a pale face.
Without saying a word, he ran towards Cho Ryu Hyang, andchecked ifhis master was doing alright.
Why are you here?
No Jin Nyung looked atUn Hui distastefully.
Un Hui didnt respond, andlooked over Cho Ryu Hyang.
I heard something happened to the master from the doctor.
Man, word flies fast. Butwhat happened to the doctor?
Hes coming. What happened?
Cho Ryu Hyangs sweating body andhis frown clearly indicated thathe was ina lot of pain. ButUn Hui couldnt figure out what was wrong.
Therefore, Un Hui stretched his hand out.
Chichichi-
Un Hui flinched back the moment he touched Cho Ryu Hyangs forehead.
He frowned ashe felt the electricity flowed inside him, buthe quickly redirected it all into the wall next to him.
Just what is.
Uhehehehe! I knew thatwould happen to you.
Un Hui frowned, andquickly turned away to Lim Hak Gyum whenNo Jin Nyung laughed athim.
This guy really was useless.
What happened?
I dont know. Butone thing I know forsure is thatnot evendoctors would know much about this.
The doctor rushed inas Un Huis face began to contort.
Un Hui took a look atthe doctor fora second, hesitated fora second, then turned to Lim Hak Gyum with a downcast face.
Lim Hak Gyum seemed to have thought the same thing, andjust nodded lightly.
I, I will take a look, then.
..
The doctor became confused fora second becauseof the silence inthe room, buteventually went onto try to see what was wrong with Cho Ryu Hyang.
And
Chichichi-!
Ahhh!
Un Hui grabbed the doctor asthe man flew away, andquickly let the electricity out.
Are you alright?
Hak, hak!
The doctor looked atCho Ryu Hyang, andthen atUn Hui several times with a surprised face.
Apologies, butplease understand. We just wanted to see ifyou were able to do anything.
No Jin Nyung sighed ashe watched the doctor nod dumbly.
Lets just leave him be. We cant do anything.
Un Hui nodded with a complicated face.
The moment he recovered, his master got ina bad condition.
Atthat moment, he noticed the bracelets inNo Jin Nyungs hand.
Why do you have that?
This? You know what it is?
IfUn Hui remembered correctly, these bracelets were given to Cho Ryu Hyang by Gongson Ahri.
Wasnt it the thing thatthe Pope wanted to hand over?
What seemed to be a normal bracelet inthe past was nowletting out a purple light.
It was almost asifit was asking to be used.
Come to think of it, the Pope wears a similar set of bracelets aswell.
The bracelets definitely must do something, seeing thateventhe Pope wears it.
Afterthinking fora moment, Un Hui snatched away the bracelets from No Jin Nyung.
There is something thatI would like to ask you, chief Lim Hak Gyum.
Speak.
How is the current situation outside?
Lim Hak Gyum frowned.
Not good.
Lim Hak Gyum refrained himself from saying it wouldnt be strange ifthey made their move.
He realized thathe could accidentally jinx it.
Is it fine forthe master to be staying like this fora long period of time?
Lim Hak Gyum shook his head.
It wouldnt be strange atall ifthe four powers attacked now.
There was no way forthem to be able to fend off the attacks from the four powers.
It looked like misfortunes liked to pile up together.
[Chief, theres trouble!]
Lim hak Gyum frowned atthe urgent voice from his subordinate.
What happened?
[The four powers are moving. Theyre making their way here right now.]
What?
What kind of a coincidence was this?
Lim Hak Gyum made a dumb face.
Un Hui looked athim with a cold gaze.
Things dont seem to be going well.
..Yes. The four powers made their move.
WhenLim Hak Gyum shot out the words with a disgusted face, Un Hui calmly opened his mouth.
Is there a way to stop them?
Lim Hak Gyum shook his head.
It looked like the Heir had a special plan inmind, butI didnt get anything from him just yet.
This was troublesome.
Like this, they would have to give up onestablishing the Sichuan branch.
Butdoing thatwould be extremely bad.
Just leaving behind all the things they put into making this branch was a problem initself, butthen the one thing thatmattered evenmore thanthatwas their pride.
Their pride would be severely damaged ifthe four powers were allowed to take this place.
Their enemies were probably coming becausethey knew that, andbecauseof that, there was no way they could retreat.
They had to protect this place with their life.
WhileLim Hak Gyum thought this, Un Hui turned to Lim Hak Gyums subordinate.
Where is the enemy?
[..]
Whenthe subordinate looked atLim Hak Gyum with a troubled face, Un Hui turned to Lim Hak Gyum aswell.
You can tell him.
OnceLim Hak Gyum gave his permission, the subordinate opened his mouth.
[They passed Jizhu, andare heading here right now. It would take them about half a day to get here.]
Un Hui became confused.
The way the subordinate worded the sentence was a little strange.
Are they moving together?
[Yes. The four powers are moving asa single group.]
!
Lim Hak Gyum andUn Hui were surprised out of their minds.
They knew the four powers would ally together, butthey didnt think the powers would make it this obvious.
Theyre going all out.
Un Huis face turned evencolder.
Would you help me wake up the master?
How?
Chiruru-
Un Hui held up the bracelets, andspoke.
It would work with this.
He was almost certain thatthis would work.
He just remembered what Gongson Chun Gi said about these bracelets inthe past.
He said it was a tool thatcould be used to prevent ones powers from going berserk.
Right now, there was some kind of a power thatwas going berserk inCho Ryu Hyang.
They just had to suppress thatpower.
Are you confident?
Un Hui nodded.
He stretched out his hands, andgrabbed Cho Ryu Hyangs arm.
Pachichichi-!
A huge amount of electricity went up Un Huis arm.
Un Huis arms were screaming with pain, buthe didnt evenflinch.
He just became calmer thanever, andput onthe bracelets onCho Ryu Hyangs arm.
And.
Forthe first time, something changed.
