Chapter 31 : Gaining a Subordinate with a Hard Body
The core of the method of turning a corpse into a Corpse Puppet and making it a puppet that follows orders is the binding of the soul.
There are those who think that there is no soul in a Corpse Puppet's body, but that is a false fact.
The driving force that allows one to control a Corpse Puppet is the soul.
The soul is in a state where it cannot control its own body due to the master's spell. It can only move according to the master's orders.
The Ice Heart Rakshasa, Neung Hwaryeong, who had been kidnapped by the Jinju Eon family, could only watch after becoming a Corpse Puppet.
Еnu m̄а .і̀ ď
Even though her body was immersed in a black liquid, she could not move her body. She had endured that extreme pain for two months.
Even when the head of the Eon family slammed his fist energy into her face, she could only watch.

It was bleak.
It was desperate.
Now that she had become a Corpse Puppet, she would have to live as their puppet for the rest of her life, unable to even resist.
It would be better to die.
E ń ūm а. і̇d̂
But she couldn't even die as she pleased.
A Corpse Puppet, because it is made with special drugs, does not decay for hundreds of years.
Moreover, she was a Cold Yin Corpse Puppet.
A Cold Yin Corpse Puppet, due to the extreme yin energy it contains, does not decay for a thousand years.

For that eon of time, she would have to live as a Corpse Puppet controlled by the hands of others.
'Please… please someone help me…. Please… heuk….'
Е n̊.u m̀а
She prayed to God every day.
To save her.
But there was no one who could hear her voice.
There would be no one in the world to save her.
She thought so.
That is, until she met that man.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"You can rest assured now."
It was what the man who had killed the Corpse Puppet master who had been controlling her had said.
Until this point, she had not believed his words.
And until this point, she had not known.
That he would really become her savior….

The Ice Heart Rakshasa, Neung Hwaryeong, who had been crying while expressing her gratitude for a long time, composed her emotions.
Gu Hui opened his mouth.

"You have regained your body, but that body is no longer human. You will have to live as a Corpse Puppet from now on."
Neung Hwaryeong answered.
"It's okay. I'm satisfied with this."
What did it matter that she could control her body again.
Ŵ е́ b ňõ_v̂е l̂ Ёn̊üṁ а
She was sufficiently satisfied with this.
She was no longer frustrated, and she felt as if she had escaped from hell.
"But, there's something I want to ask."
"Go ahead."

"What was the reason you saved me, even fighting against the Jinju Eon family…?"
Gu Hui explained that he had made a deal with the Shadow Pavilion Master.

And he said that he also had bad feelings towards the Jinju Eon family.
"Even if it wasn't for you, I was planning to attack the Jinju Eon family."
"I see."
"Let's go out now. Biwol is waiting for you outside."
"Ah! Yes."
Gu Hui and Neung Hwaryeong left the basement.

Meanwhile, the Blood Sea Fist King, Dam Daecheon, who was listening to the conversation between Gu Hui and Neung Hwaryeong in the iron cage.
He, in the form of a rabbit, blinked his eyes and muttered.
"Kkik…? Kkiik…. (A Cold Yin Corpse Puppet…? Shit, what the hell is going on….)"

Before long, the Shadow Pavilion Master, Neung Sohwa, had arrived in the inner courtyard.
Biwol told Neung Sohwa that Neung Hwaryeong was currently undergoing the great method in the basement.
Ẁ ѐ b nо v̀ е̂ l̈ Ě n ǔ m̌á
Neung Sohwa had heard that her mother had become a Corpse Puppet through a message.
She hoped that her mother would succeed in the art and regain her body.

As they waited with anxious faces.
Finally, Gu Hui and Neung Hwaryeong came out into the inner courtyard.
Biwol and Neung Sohwa, with their eyes wide open, shouted.
"Mother!"
Еn̊ ūm̆ӓ .ī d̂
"Grand Elder!"
As Neung Hwaryeong smiled, only then did Biwol and Neung Sohwa shed tears of emotion.
As they embraced and shared the joy of their reunion, Gu Hui had a faint smile.
Heukgu's eyes were red.

He was overcome with emotion because he knew their feelings.
He himself had also wished for a reunion with his wife like them.

But he had seen his wife's skeleton.
Seeing them, he was envious and at the same time moved.
Jo Manhong, seeing Heukgu with his red eyes, said.
"Kkirook, kkirook? (Hey, are you crying?)"
Heukgu ignored Jo Manhong's words.
Ouchi Kazuma was staring at Neung Hwaryeong with his arms crossed.

'A Corpse Puppet… how interesting. There are truly many interesting things in the Central Plains.'
In fact, when he had first seen that Corpse Puppet woman, Kazuma had felt that she was a considerable master.
Kazuma said to Gu Hui, who was standing next to him.
"My lord, I felt it from the first day I saw her, but that woman also seems to be a considerable master."
Gu Hui nodded.
"She's strong. You can't pierce her body with your sword aura."
Е́ nu mа̌
Kazuma's eyes twitched.
"No way. You're joking too much, my lord."
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"I'm not joking."
To cut Neung Hwaryeong's body, one would have to use a blade aura imbued with the enlightenment of at least the Transformation Stage.
Kazuma's fighting spirit soared as he looked at Neung Hwaryeong.
He wanted to fight her.
Ẽn̂u m ӓ
But he had to restrain himself.
In Dongyeong, it is considered a shame for a swordsman to attack a woman.
It might not matter in the Central Plains, but he, a martial artist from Dongyeong, could never fight against a woman.
'It's a pity, but it can't be helped….'

The Shadow Pavilion Master, Neung Sohwa, who had finished talking with her mother, approached Gu Hui.
She, who had suddenly prostrated herself, said to Gu Hui.
Wê b n̄ оv́ ël̈ Е nu̇ mа̄
"Thank you so much for saving my mother. I will keep my promise. From now on, I will serve you as my lord. I pledge my loyalty. The Shadow Pavilion will only follow the lord's orders from now on."
Since Gu Hui had saved Neung Hwaryeong, she was fulfilling her promise for that.
Gu Hui nodded.
"Yes. I'll be in your care from now on."
Gu Hui had finally obtained the Shadow Pavilion.

The next day.
The Shadow Pavilion Master, Neung Sohwa, prepared to leave.
Gu Hui and his comrades came out to the inner courtyard to see them off.
Biwol said that since her work was finished, she would return to the Shadow Pavilion with the pavilion master.
Now she had to return to her original place.
Biwol stroked Jo Manhong's and Heukgu's heads once each.

"You all have to stay healthy."
"Kkirook, kkiroorook… kkirook. (This woman is speaking informally until the end…. I told you to fix your habit of stroking heads…. Ahem, you stay healthy too.)"

Although he grumbled, Jo Manhong had a sad heart.
He had become very close with Biwol while living with her.
Heukgu said.
"Kuik, kuik. (Goodbye, young lady. It was fun thanks to you.)"
È n̂ û_ṁ а̄. і̃ d
Biwol's gaze turned to Gu Hui.
"Thank you for everything, young master."
"Don't mention it. Come and visit often."
"Yes!"

The Shadow Pavilion Master, Neung Sohwa, said to Gu Hui.
"Then we will be going, my lord."
Wе bn̄ о̂v е̇ l̀ Е n u̇ m̈ а̂
"Yes. From now on, I will contact you through Manhong."
"Understood."
Neung Sohwa started walking with Biwol.
But, the Ice Heart Rakshasa, Neung Hwaryeong, was not following.
Neung Sohwa said to Neung Hwaryeong.
"Mother?"

Neung Hwaryeong, who had been silent, said in a serious tone.
"I am not returning to the Shadow Pavilion. I plan to stay here and assist my benefactor."
"Yes…? What do you mean by that…."
"When I was in a state where I couldn't do anything with my own will, I made a vow to myself. That if someone saved me from that hell, I would assist and follow them for the rest of my life. I plan to keep that promise."
If it weren't for Gu Hui, she would have had to live as a puppet of countless martial artists for a thousand years.
Thanks to Gu Hui, she had become a free body that could move her body again, so she was trying to repay that kindness.
Ӗnû m̂ а.íd
Neung Hwaryeong had already made up her mind to follow Gu Hui.
Gu Hui blinked his eyes at the unexpected situation.

He had not expected Neung Hwaryeong to volunteer to be his subordinate.
Neung Hwaryeong prostrated herself on the ground and said.
"Benefactor, I formally request. Please accept me as your subordinate."
The corners of Gu Hui's lips went up.
Е̄n̊u̇ m å.і̂ d̂_
If he gained her as a comrade, it would be a great help to his future endeavors.
It would also be easier to give orders to the Shadow Pavilion.
Because there are times when direct action is needed.
Gu Hui said.

"I'll be in your care from now on."
A bright smile appeared on Neung Hwaryeong's lips.

"I pledge my loyalty."
Neung Sohwa was a little sad that she could not return to the Shadow Pavilion with her mother.
Still, she planned to respect her mother's wishes.
She felt she could trust and entrust her mother to Gu Hui.
Neung Sohwa, who had said goodbye to her mother, returned to the Shadow Pavilion with Biwol.
Thus, Gu Hui had gained the Ice Heart Rakshasa, Neung Hwaryeong, as a subordinate.

He would have to see what kind of role Neung Hwaryeong would play in the future.

Misi-jeong.
Gu Hui planned to do the work he had been putting off for a while.
He had heard from Biwol and Kazuma.
That the Haomun knew a lot about him and his comrades.
Еn̄ úm а. іd
The reason Kazuma could find him was also because of the Haomun.
They must know that he was the one who had annihilated the Jinju Eon family.

Gu Hui planned to go to the Haomun and warn them.
He planned to make it so that others could not view the information about him and his comrades.
In the martial world, there is a saying to hide 30% of one's strength.
In other words, if many people know about you, it can become a weakness.
W е b̊ n̄ о̊ v e l̆ Ӗ ǹ u m̆ a
Gu Hui, who had left the estate on Heukgu, arrived at the Haomun's Mugang County branch.
[Paradise Old Bookstore]
He had heard through Biwol that this was the Haomun's Mugang County branch.
Just as Gu Hui, who had tied Heukgu up in front of the building, was about to open the door and go inside.

A man in his twenties walked out as the door opened.
A sturdy build. Dark skin. Thick eyebrows. A square face. Eyes full of confidence.
W̊ еb̀ no v ӗ l Е̊nu m̊ a
The man passed by Gu Hui.
Gu Hui suddenly thought that the huge man's face looked familiar.
'Who was it…? I feel like I've seen that face somewhere….'
Gu Hui, who was staring at the receding huge man for a moment, finally opened the door and went inside.
A bell rang, and the clerk at the counter greeted him.
"Welcome. Did you come to look at books?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"I know this is the Haomun. Where is the branch manager?"
"Ah, what business do you have?"
Most customers who visit the Haomun have purposes such as information sharing, wandering martial artist brokerage, and manpower employment.
He had thought this customer would be one of them, but the answer that came was unexpected.
"I came to warn you."
"Yes…? What kind of warning are you talking about?"
Èǹ_û_m̌ а̃
"I will talk to the branch manager."
Saying so, Gu Hui headed for the hallway. He opened the door and went inside.

Inside the room sat the Mugang County branch manager, Seo Wonchun.
Seo Wonchun flinched. He had immediately recognized Gu Hui's identity.
Because he had already seen his face from a description.
Seo Wonchun, who had composed his surprised feelings, said with a calm expression.
Е̌ ǹ ûm а. і̇ d
"Hehe, I am the Mugang County branch manager of the Haomun, Seo Wonchun. Nice to meet you. Please sit on the chair."
Gu Hui sat on the chair.
"What brings you here?"
"Don't you know who I am?"

"Well. I don't know…."
"I think you do."

"I really don't know what you're talking about…."
"The estate located at the entrance of Daewun Mountain. I am the owner of that place. If I say this, you might know."
Seo Wonchun tilted his head with a look of complete ignorance.
"Who on earth are you to be saying that…."
A dark blue energy was imbued in Gu Hui's right fist. The fist aura was brought down, and the stone desk was shattered.
Seo Wonchun's pupils trembled. He swallowed hard.

"Wh-why are you doing this…?"
In the next moment, Gu Hui's fist aura struck the side wall.
The stone wall crumbled. Dust filled the courtyard.
Gu Hui said softly to Seo Wonchun.
"Next time, it will be your face. I'll ask again. Do you not know me?"
Seo Wonchun's eyes trembled. He answered in a fearful tone.

"How much do you know about me?"

"I-I know that you, great hero, annihilated the Dragon Spring Gang and the Jinju Eon family…."
"Has the Haomun ever passed on information about me to others?"
"I have passed on information about you, great hero, to a man from Dongyeong…. But I do not know to whom the higher-ups have passed on information about you, great hero."
"Then tell the Haomun Master. To incinerate all information about me and not to disclose it to anyone in the future. Tell him that if he violates this, he will regret it."

"I-I understand."
Gu Hui, who had finished the conversation, left the bookstore.
Seo Wonchun, left alone, let out a sigh of relief.
"Phew… I-I almost died…."

The clerk came running.
"A-are you alright, branch manager?"

"I'm fine. But this is a big problem. We might have to close down…."
Seo Wonchun had a bitter expression.

Gu Hui, who had come out, walked down the street with Heukgu.
Just as he was about to return home, Gu Hui's ears suddenly caught the sound of metal and tearing flesh.
It was a sound coming from the alley on the right.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Just from the sound, Gu Hui could feel that they were considerable masters.
'Why have such masters appeared in Mugang County?'
To find out who they were, Gu Hui entered the alley.
In the alley, a huge man who looked to be in his late twenties was fighting against thirty martial artists in red martial robes.
Ten corpses were sprawled on the ground.
He could tell that they had been killed by the huge man.
W ĕ b̄ n оv̄ ѐ l Е̂ ǹ_u m̀а̇
The huge man was the one he had met at the entrance of the Haomun earlier.
He was deploying a fist art, and its level had reached the peak.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But his opponent was also not to be trifled with.
The martial artists in red martial robes were composed of first-class and super first-class masters, and especially the one who seemed to be the leader had the skill of a peak master.
The huge man's body was covered in blood. There were cuts all over his body. It seemed he had injured his ankle, and it was even hard for him to walk. His breath was ragged.
"Heok… heok… come on… come on, you bastards!"
W e_b̈ n о.v̈ е̄ľ Е́ǹum а̂
The enemy warriors, who had launched themselves again, poured their killing moves.
The huge man's fists were continuously poured out.
Gu Hui, who was watching calmly. A strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Seeing that build, appearance, and the deployment of the fist art, a forgotten memory suddenly came back to him.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'The Green Forest Martial King, Ma Gonghyo. It's definitely his appearance when he was young.'
Ma Gonghyo was a person he had a connection with in his past life.
W̆ e b̄ n̄ о̆ v̌ е l Еn ŭ m а̌
He was also a benefactor to Gu Hui.
It had been 30 years since he had met Ma Gonghyo.
Ma Gonghyo's current age would be around 80.
If Ma Gonghyo had not become young again, that huge man must be his son.
Gu Hui guessed so.
'I can't let Senior Ma's son die.'

The huge man was in a precarious state.
If he was left as he was, it was clear that he would eventually lose his life at the hands of those bastards.
Gu Hui imbued his voice with internal energy and said.
[Stop.]
The flinching warriors. They stopped their movements. All of their gazes turned to Gu Hui.
Towards the red-robed men, Gu Hui said.

"Who are you to be persecuting one person like that? Isn't that too much?"
Gu Hui tried to reason with them with words.

The gazes of the red-robed men turned to the leader in the rear.
They were waiting for the leader's order on what to do.
The leader glared at Gu Hui and asked.
"Who are you?"
Ĕ nǔm а̀
"A passerby."
"Is that so? You must be crazy to want to die. Alright, I'll kill you too. Take care of him."
There was no more conversation.
At the leader's order, the warriors rushed at Gu Hui.

Gu Hui's gaze changed.
This changes things.

He had given them a chance because there was no reason to fight them.
If they wanted to be his enemy, he had no intention of showing mercy.
In an instant, Gu Hui's blade was drawn with extreme speed.
A chilling sound of tearing air, and the afterimage of a dark blue blade aura formed like a spider's web in the air.
The bodies of the 29 rushing men were cut into dozens of pieces, and blood spurted profusely.
The dismembered corpses rolled on the ground.

A tragedy that had happened in the blink of an eye.
The injured huge man's eyes widened as if they would pop out.
The leader of the red-robed men was horrified, his mouth wide open.
'C-crazy….'
The leader, who had judged that he was an opponent he could never win against, launched himself and attempted to flee.
The moment his feet kicked off the ground.

Something grabbed both of his ankles and pulled him down.
What had grabbed his ankles was a hardened blood whip.

Gu Hui had activated the Blood Spirit Art.
The surprised leader confirmed the blood whip wrapped around his ankles.
"Wh-what is this…?"
As the wind pressure rose, Gu Hui's figure had already reached the leader.

The leader's eyes widened.
The blade aura, which had fallen vertically, split the leader's body in two.
Blood spurted, and the severed corpse sprawled on the ground.
Gu Hui's blade entered its scabbard.

"So you should have gone when I was being nice."

The thirty red-robed men who had become souls.
Towards them, who were flustered, Gu Hui cast the Power of Soul Extinction.
Their Soul Origin Energy was all sucked into Gu Hui's body, and the souls were annihilated.
The huge man, left alone, had a dazed expression as he scanned the corpses.
He had so easily turned the thirty warriors who had made him struggle into lonely souls.
Does this make sense…?

The huge man was engulfed in a huge shock.
Gu Hui asked in a calm tone.
"Are you alright?"
"I-I'm fine…. Thank you for helping… ugh…."
The staggering huge man. He was dizzy from losing too much blood. Furthermore, he was in a state where it was even hard to stand due to his injuries.
Gu Hui called Heukgu.
