Chapter 10 “You don’t have to shout. I can hear you perfectly well.” Jegal Cheonseong, who had come out to greet them, frowned and replied curtly. “Haha! You’re over sixty now, yet you’re still as rude as ever!” Namgung Cheon laughed cheerfully, as though he were accustomed to it. His tone was light, but his tiger-like features, massive build, and long beard gave weight to even such casual words. But Jegal Cheonseong, his longtime friend, paid no attention to any of…-

Chapter 9 A week had passed since then. The reply from the current Murim Alliance Leader, Namgung Cheon, came quickly. As soon as Jegal Cheonseong's letter arrived, he sent back a reply saying that they would meet three days later. Three days from Anhui to Hubei. 'At that speed, he'd have to drive his horse quite hard.' It wasn't difficult to understand why. The current Murim Alliance Leader and Chief Strategist, Namgung Cheon, and Jegal Cheonseong. The two had been childhood friends,…

Chapter 8 That evening, Muheun arrived in front of the Family Head’s Hall to receive his promised reward. Before entering, Muheun was about to announce his presence, but Zhuge Cheonseong was faster. “Muheun, is that you?” For the Family Head of the Zhuge Family, Zhuge Cheonseong, noticing the presence of his own son was easier than anything. Muheun gave a slight nod beyond the door. At Zhuge Cheonseong’s level, whether Muheun was on the other side of the door or already inside,…

Chapter 7 Mok Cheong-u stood there in stunned silence. It was partly because his body was restrained, but the greater shock had come from what had happened to his mind. …How did it come to this? This was never how it was supposed to happen. He should already have found the hundred-year-old He Shou Wu he had buried and displayed it at the gathering. He should have revealed to the entire martial world that the Zhuge Family had stolen the Hubei Mok Family’s heirloom and begun preparing to…

Chapter 6 Mok Cheong-u asked in an agitated voice. “How did you get that?! How did you… you?” “How did I get it? That’s not quite the right question, is it?” Muheun wore a mocking smile. “You should be asking how it came to be here. The way you put it makes it sound as though you already knew it was here.” At Muheun’s pointed remark, Mok Cheong-u let out a gasp and covered his mouth with his hand. He was practically advertising with his entire body just how terrible he…

Chapter 5 “Yes, yes? H-How did you…? No, what do you mean…?” Ran looked as though she had no idea what she was even saying. “I suppose I asked the question in the wrong order. I should have asked what you meant first.” “Ah! Th-That is…” Ran realized her slip of the tongue and let out a sigh. “I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you… The Mok Family told me to keep it secret because they needed time to prepare…” “Prepare? What sort of preparation?” “Well, um……

Chapter 4 Jegal Cheonseong was taken aback. ‘Did my youngest son always have this kind of spirit?’ His youngest had spent a long time confined to his room because of his illness. Perhaps because of that, he had always seemed to believe that his very existence was a burden to others, and as the years passed, he had grown increasingly timid and frail. This was the first time Cheonseong had ever seen him speak with such confidence. And on top of that, he was claiming that there was a spy…

Chapter 3 Muhun thought that, by his own standards, he had accumulated enough knowledge and insight to hold his head high. Yet he had never heard anywhere that a scent could actually be seen. Much less a scent that appeared as a golden mist. And it wasn't merely the smell of earth. It was unmistakably an appetizing, mouthwatering aroma. Looking at the ground from which that golden smoke was rising, Muhun almost felt as though he could dig into it and uncover a feast of delicacies. Indeed, there…

Chapter 2 Heavenly Secrets Heavenly Secrets (天機). Quite literally, the secrets of Heaven. It sounds like something extraordinary, but in reality, it is simply another branch of learning. It involves using Astronomy (天文)—reading the movements of the stars—to predict the near future. With a basic knowledge of things such as Qimen Dunjia, the Book of Changes (I Ching), and astrology, anyone could attempt it. It was not easy, of course, but with enough mastery, one could even divine the…

Chapter 1 3,649 days since the war began. And even after that, another ten shijin and two gak had passed. There was only one shijin and two gak left until exactly ten years had passed. “Haah… When I think of it that way… cough!” It really had been a long time. The old man spat out black blood and smiled bitterly. Fifty-eight. It was certainly not a young age. Yet the old man looked far older than his actual years. Time had always been unfair to this old man, Zhuge…
