The Mok Gyeong-un that Underworld Blade King Son Yun remembered was certainly no more than a third-rate martial artist. Of course, that didn't mean he had ever considered him insignificant.
He had learned the sword forms of the Moon Vein, whose lineage had been severed over a hundred years ago, and he also possessed a natural talent for the occult arts. That was why, even though Mok Gyeong-un was from the righteous path's Lotuswood Sword Manor, he had been brought to the Heaven and Earth Society.
While it was important to extract the Moon Vein's sword art from his mind, it was also because he thought Mok Gyeong-un, chosen by the secret manual, might become a great asset to the Heaven and Earth Society. But he felt that all of it had been ruined by a whim of the Heaven and Earth Society's Lord.
[Send him to the Corpse Blood Valley?]
[It is the Lord's command. Do you intend to defy it?]
[But...]
[Enough.]
The reason was unknown. Why had the Lord ordered the two sons of Lotuswood Sword Manor, brought here as hostages, to be sent to the Corpse Blood Valley? He had not even met them face to face.
