While the beautiful blue birds stood on a tree branch in the middle of the forest, and the sound of water gave a feeling of comfort, everything seemed good and safe until a terrifying sound approached, born from the womb of destruction. The birds remained standing to make sure of the source of the sound, but when the screaming became clearer, they fled quickly, leaving their beautiful blue feathers floating in the air.
"My God, what happened? What did you do?!"
The five were sitting on the ground, exactly like the second time, but the difference was Lang Biol, who seemed completely uninterested and was staring at the sky. Meanwhile, Cho Zin grabbed Ryong Shin's clothes angrily and began directing words of reprimand that were closer to threats, while Ryong Shin was completely resigned, letting himself sway right and left. Lang Biol continued staring at the sky until Nining Muyon asked him in panic.
"Biol… Biol, are you alright? Hey, Biol!"
Lang Biol ignored him completely, as if he did not exist.
"Why worry about him? Calm down. Maybe he is happy that he is safe and did not die, and that is why he cannot speak."
After Ming Kyun reassured him, Nining Muyon stopped asking whether Lang Biol was alright.
"I thought he was injured somewhere."
The clouds were extremely beautiful. Every time they moved, a cool breeze appeared that made the body shiver from excessive thinking, and the sun appeared to warm the body and calm the mind and soul. His eyes widened, and he began thinking about what had happened fifteen minutes earlier.
When they looked at the wall that had partially collapsed.
"What was that?"
The first one to ask was Ryong Shin, and the first one to answer was Lang Biol.
"Do not worry about that. It is an old cave. Of course part of it will break if it is finally opened."
Ryong Shin was about to respect Lang Biol for trying to reassure him, but that was before he opened his mouth again.
"Hahaha, or maybe it is happy because a handsome young man like me entered it."
"..."
Cho Zin quickly tried to save the situation.
"It is alright. What Biol said is correct… only the first part of it. It is likely because the cave is old, but it is fine. It will not collapse easily, so do not worry."
Everyone was afraid, but with Biol's encouragement and Cho Zin's reassurance, they continued reading.
After three months, I went to the Sun Sect again after finishing the mission. The condition of the sect was the same, in addition to the sect leader's family. Everything was good. I truly wish for the day that comes when I kill that despicable family, but I can endure it for the sake of the sect leader.
Everyone fell silent for a moment. There was something strange about the fact that he would endure it for his sake. Anyone could notice that. So Lang Biol decided to point it out and add his sarcastic touch as well.
"Come on, what is the use of listening to the story of a dead man who seems to be in love with his master?"
For the second time, everyone ignored him. Then Cho Zin pointed his finger at the writing.
"Look at this."
Lang Biol thought it was something unimportant, so he looked lazily, but the moment he did, his eyes widened as he read.
"After that, on a sunny day like any other day, I heard people screaming outside. When I went out, I was shocked by the scene. It was the Black Blood Emperor, Chunma, killing and destroying the sect with tremendous power. Pieces of human bodies were falling everywhere. There was not a single house left intact. I could do nothing but watch. When a woman screamed and asked the Black Blood Emperor why he was doing this, his answer after killing her was that there was a beggar who bumped into him and told him that he was from the Sun Sect. I could not understand the words he said. Did he destroy and kill innocent people just because someone bumped into him? I truly wanted to cry from anger. I could not move from my place because of fear of that powerful and terrifying aura. I saw people screaming and asking me for help, but I could not do anything. But when I remembered the sect leader, I quickly went to search for him, but I did not find him. Even after the Black Blood Emperor left and after he finished destroying the sect completely, I did not find him."
"Could it be that the leader of the Sun Sect died?"
The one who asked this question was Ryong Shin. Lang Biol answered.
"No, he did not die."
Biol's reaction was sharp, as if he knew, although he truly did know before returning in time. The leader of the Sun Sect had helped him a lot and he considered him like an older brother that his mother did not give birth to, even better than his real brothers. But no one in his team knew this, so they thought he might have said it without thinking and reacted with him as well. Cho Zin was the first to respond.
"Yes, you are right about that. The Emperor searched for his body because of the request of the swordsman Lexing again and again, but they did not find anything related to him. After a while, the swordsman Lexing did not talk about the matter again. Perhaps the Emperor threatened him."
Nining Muyon agreed, saying.
"Yes, or perhaps he gave him a high position. I heard that he became the Great Swordsman of the Empire."
Lang Biol smiled playfully and said, "Maybe if we tell the sect leader that we found Lexing's grave, he will give us a reward."
Kyun thought he was serious, so he warned him.
"If anyone discovers it, they will suspect that we took something."
Biol smiled sarcastically and shook his head, saying that he was only joking, not realizing that someone was behind him.
Ryong Shin's beautiful blue eyes were shining as he looked at a golden box. He grabbed it, but the box was firm, as if it did not want anyone to take it out. Shin ignored that and pulled it strongly until he managed to hold it and lift it. Everyone looked at him, but when Lang Biol saw the box, it felt familiar even before he remembered it.
They heard a trembling sound in the cave. The cave was collapsing. Ryong Shin became tense, realizing that he had done something he should not have done. Quickly, everyone realized the same thing. Lang Biol cursed using the name Dancing Sword, which was the name Ryong Shin had been known by in the past. Before they realized it, they found themselves sitting on the grass, trying to catch their breath with difficulty, except for Cho Zin, who was scolding Ryong Shin, and Nining Muyon, who was trying to make sure that Lang Biol was alright.
Lang Biol felt a little sad about the collapse of the cave, but at least he had obtained the manuscript he wanted.
