Chapter 119 (1/2)

“Come here.” Byeok Tae-san murmured while looking down at the huge manor on a fairly high hill. This was a manor built a little far from Uichang.

From the hill, he could see the inside of the manor, but strangely, no one was walking around. No, he didn’t see anyone.

“Is it true?”

It didn’t make sense to say that no one roamed around such a large manor. Moreover, it was a manor with no filthy corners in sight due to such thorough management. The reality there was hidden by the truth. It wasn’t just an inference from what it looked like.

The unique power of Jinbeop was faintly felt. Perhaps the closer one was to get, the more certain it would be. The structure of the manor was very simple. There were no high angles, and there were no large gymnasiums or ponds. There was just a fence inside the manor that separated the inner garden, and there was only one small building in the inner garden. However, that wouldn’t be the real thing about the manor.

Byeok Tae-san descended from the hill and slowly approached the manor. His senses slowly spread around the manor.

It was a really great trick. Byeok Tae-san’s senses couldn’t break through the truth and continued to bounce off. It seemed that he had to go inside the manor to check it properly. He then headed towards the manor without hesitation, thus arriving at the front door. He got so close he still couldn’t send his senses into the manor.

All he had to do was scan the outside of the manor. There was no one outside the manor. Since it was a manor built on a deserted field, no one came to this place or passed by at all. And Byeok Tae-san knew that it was not easy to find Lee Jang-won. The existence of this manor was also obscured by the jinbeop laid around it.

Byeok Tae-san was able to see this manor because his senses were really special. This was because he believed in the power of Jinbeop too much, there was no one guarding the front door.

Of course, the door was locked. Byeok Tae-san gently pushed the door with his hand. The latch on the door snapped open and the door opened gently. Through the open door, black darkness could be seen. It was as if a curtain of darkness had covered the entrance. It was surprising that Byeok Tae-san was able to block his own senses to such an extent.

However, he wasn’t afraid. He reached out to the darkness and felt a strange flow of energy. When he shoved his hand into him, the sensation that started with his hand suddenly expanded.

Byeok Tae-san sank into the darkness. The inside of the manor was completely different from the one seen from the top of the hill. There were a lot of temples, and a low fence surrounded each of them. The jinbeop that blocked the senses was also working inside, but the jinbeop could no longer limit the senses of Byeok Tae-san.

Once inside, the resistance of the energy that dispersed the senses had significantly weakened. Of course, that was also possible because it was Byeok Tae-san. If he were anyone else, he would have been very frustrated.

Byeok Tae-san strode inside. However, all the halls were empty. He had no one to walk around.

Byeok Tae-san tilted his head. This was against common sense. How much money, time, and effort must have gone into building such a huge manor? In addition, the level of Jinbeop installed in this manor was enormous. It was not comparable to Hyeoncheonjin, but when he tried to think of a better way than this right now, nothing came to mind other than Hyeoncheonjin.

No matter how externally it was, it would not be easy to block the senses of Byeok Tae-san. Jinbeop here did just that. In order to properly spread the jinbeop like this, at least a phantom would have to go out.

However, how could one build such a manor and throw it away like this? With that thought in mind, Byeok Tae-san went further inside. The more he went inside, the stronger the smell of blood.

It wasn’t just the smell of blood. It was the smell of blood in the spirit power. Anyone other than Byeok Tae-san would not have been able to smell the blood at all. It was not an odor that could be sensed with the sense of smell. It was a smell that could only be smelled by mobilizing other senses that were not present in the body.

“It’s awful.” Byeok Tae-san muttered like that and shook his head. How many people’s blood would it take to get this smell of blood?

The smell of blood in the spiritual power meant that the essence of blood was extracted and put into the spiritual power. Seeing the smell of blood so thick, blood must have been drawn from a huge number of people.

“But there really is no one who smells like this.” That meant that the reverb was this much. So how awful was it?

Byeok Tae-san went further inside. However, no matter how far he went in, he didn’t feel any popularity at all. This great manor was empty. Where the hell did you all go? This manor was the place where Go Jun-kwang came whenever he had to report something, received instructions, or asked for a favor.

It was the dregs of memories that Go Jun-kwang’s experiences were buried in the soul and then flowed out as he was burned by the Jeung-Hon Magong. The strongest thought in Go Jun-kwang’s memory was the dark, long hallway, and the black gourd that filled the walls of the large room at the end of the hallway.

What Byeok Tae-san was looking for was a hall with a hallway that was that long. Most of the halls were not very large, so it was unlikely that there would be such a hallway. Byeok Tae-san headed to a place where the smell of blood was thick.

Perhaps he was there? As he went along, he arrived in front of a huge hall. Byeok Tae-san, who entered the hall, could see the long hallway in Go Junkwang’s memory. It was a dark and gloomy hallway. The whole of the manor was covered with a technique that obscured the senses, but this engraving was worse than that. There seemed to be a large room at the end of the hallway, but he couldn’t seem to sense it.

Byeok Tae-san’s lips rose slightly. “It’s fun.”

At this, Byeok Tae-san entered the hallway. and walked briskly. As he entered the room at the end of the hallway, there was a man standing there. Byeok Tae-san looked around without even looking at the person. There were shelves all over the walls on all sides, and bottles of bottles were lined up on the shelves.

He frowned as he glanced at the goa bottle that filled the walls on all sides.

“Tree?” They were all gourds carved out of wood. In Ko Jun-kwang’s memory, it was clearly a black gourd.

“Well, it doesn’t matter.” Byeok Tae-san turned his gaze again and looked at his man standing in the middle of the room. He was a young man.

Judging by his age, he must have been in his mid-twenties. The strange thing was the eyes. He had red eyes, but no pupils. It was as if a red glass ball had been pierced instead of an eyeball. It looked very sinister, and it was bizarre.

“The smell of blood is very vibrating.” The room was filled with the smell of blood. However, the smell of blood was also a reverberation. There was no one here who smelled real blood. The man just stood still even when Byeok Tae-san said that.

At this, he looked at the man silently and then tilted his head slightly. “I’m sure he’s alive….”

The man was obviously alive. But for some reason, he didn’t seem like an ordinary living person. It wasn’t half-hearted. And he wasn’t the kind of person who had the soul of another person attached to him like the mad-blooded Samma. Contrary to those things, the soul bag was seated correctly. He was a man with his own soul in his own body.

Still, something was strange. He felt a very serious sense of incongruity, and it was hard to grasp the identity of the sense of incongruity. Byeok Tae-san’s eyes lit up with curiosity. “Tell me something. What are you?”

At this, the man’s red eyes twirled round and round. He couldn’t confirm it with his own eyes, but it was clear that he turned his gaze towards Byeok Tae-san.
