Childhood Friend of the Zenith – 338 (Part 1)



338 (Part 1)

”'<Chapter 339: If You Listen. (2)

It was not difficult for the Black Night Palace Head to find his target.

At most it would be a peak.

If not it was a place filled with those who would have remained at a second-rate level from the first-rate.

Fortunately the sword master or the Blue Sea’s One Sword would be handled by Taeju or the Dark King.

What he had to do was simply find the poison master and bring him back.

The black energy prepared by Taeju.

Gradually covered the formations laid out on Mount Tai forming a single space.

‘What is that power?’

The Black Night Palace Head expressed his doubts as he watched the energy gradually covering the sky.

It seemed similar to the energy he possessed.

Yet it was distinctly different from the authority granted by the ‘heavens.’

‘That power seems to be dealing with something.’

Since the place where the work was being done was Henan.

It was a location where the Murim Alliance and Shaolin were nearby.

This was a rather dangerous situation as recklessly acting could lead to them storming in.

He judged it to be quite risky.

Taeju had told him not to worry about it.

After all.

What was unfolding now that formation-like thing.

Seemed to be resolving the process.

‘Then what remains is.’

Binding the instructors spread out in all directions.

This part was to be handled by Taeju’s subordinates.

The Black Night Palace Head once known as the Samaoje felt it was a very unpleasant and heavy energy.

‘The Black Dragon Society….’

Martial artists from unorthodox sects who had already been treated as dead and vanished into the past.

In fact they were the storm swordsmen of that time.

He had heard that they were all killed by the current Sword Sovereign.

For some reason both Taeju and the martial artists of the current Black Dragon Society had survived.

As the Black Night Palace Head gazed at that.

‘No need to worry.’

He quietly turned his head.

What he needed to focus on now was not that.

He simply needed to handle the task quickly.

And return to the heavens.

That was his only goal.

It was a request from Taeju to whom he had entrusted his body.

Having heard that even the Dark King would participate.

He had moved accordingly.

Of course there was a bit of curiosity.

He knew to some extent about Taeju’s purpose.

But he was somewhat curious about why he wanted the poison master of the Tang Clan.

He hadn’t directly asked though.

Before long the black formations filled the sky.

“Let’s depart.”

Someone next to the Palace Head spoke.

Hearing those words the Palace Head frowned.

“Do not dare to command me.”

With a click of his tongue.

The Palace Head leaped down from the cliff into the thicket below.

Soon after he spread his senses.

The energy released by the martial artist who reached the area nearly covered the entire mountain.

It was a rough energy.

If the sword master or the Blue Sea’s One Sword had been here they would have noticed immediately.

One.

They were not here.

Even if they were.

It was not a situation where they could easily move.

Recalling that the Palace Head gradually expanded his senses.

‘Found it.’

As expected he was able to find his target without much difficulty.

Amidst the trees he spotted a head of dark green hair.

The subtle poison contained within the body indicated that this girl was of the Tang Clan lineage.

The level was not particularly high.

It was at a level that the Palace Head could kill in the blink of an eye if he set his mind to it.

The body of the Black Night Palace Head rode the wind transforming into the form of energy and disappearing.

Reaching the target was instantaneous.

Before extending his hand.

He thought once more.

‘Did I say to bring her back unharmed?’

He seemed to recall saying that as long as she was alive it would be fine.

Just in case….

‘First.’

The presence of the late-stage Ji Soo moving alongside the poison master was bothersome.

From her attire and the energy contained within her body he could tell.

She seemed to be a descendant of the Peng family.

There were a few individuals he needed to be cautious about handling.

But it seemed that girl was not among them.

In that case.

It would be better to kill her and take her comfortably.

In the unfolding situation.

While the Tang Clan girl was looking around with her eyes.

The Palace Head quietly gathered his energy and sharpened it.

With the intent to strike her head and kill her instantly.

Kiiing.

The energy that began to rotate.

At the Palace Head’s gesture.

….

…

!

..

Without hesitation it was shot towards Peng Ah-hee.

She would probably meet her death without even being able to react properly.

At that moment he thought.

“Ah-hee!”

‘What?’

An unexpected event occurred.

The poison master whom he thought would not notice suddenly moved to shield the late-stage Ji Soo beside her.

Pik!

Thanks to the Black Night Palace Head hastily twisting his hand to change direction he fortunately prevented the target from dying.

“Y-You!”

“Ugh…”

The poison master had severely injured her arm.

In the sudden turn of events Peng Ah-hee was filled with panic.

Yet stopping the bleeding was the priority.

Watching that the Black Night Palace Head.

Thud.

Materialized before Dang So-yeol.

“Girl.”

At the low voice that rang out.

Peng Ah-hee flinched and turned her gaze to the Black Night Palace Head.

“How did you notice? At your level you shouldn’t have been able to tell.”

At the Palace Head’s question Dang So-yeol turned her head to look at him.

“…W-Who are you…?”

“That is something you do not need to know.”

Her eyes were filled with fear.

She seemed to have immediately realized the gap between herself and the Black Night Palace Head.

The Black Night Palace Head was quite curious.

How did she notice his presence?

It was a crude level that should have barely reached the first-rate.

“Are you the poison master of the Tang Clan?”

At the Palace Head’s question Dang So-yeol swallowed hard.

“I won’t ask twice.”

As silence fell the Palace Head once again formed energy with his fingertips.

This time he aimed at Peng Ah-hee believing it would be more effective.

Seeing that Peng Ah-hee trembled slightly.

Then in a hurry Dang So-yeol answered.

“You already… know don’t you? Why is Senior Ji Go-han doing this to us?”

“Is it because you are of a prestigious family? You’ve coated your mouth with sweet words.”

Senior Ji Go-han.

As was common with orthodox sect members she had a sharp tongue.

That was why he found it even more displeasing.

Tap.

As if there was no more to be said.

The Black Night Palace Head took a step closer to Dang So-yeol.

In response Peng Ah-hee clung to Dang So-yeol trying to protect her.

It was a futile resistance.

“There isn’t much time so I would prefer if you didn’t resist. I detest troublesome things.”

“…”

As black thorns reappeared around the Palace Head.

This time Peng Ah-hee embraced Dang So-yeol as if she were preparing to face a great deity.

It was truly a hot friendship.

After all if they were to die they would soon grow cold.

As the Black Night Palace Head pushed Peng Ah-hee aside.

Just as he was about to take Dang So-yeol and disappear.

Suddenly.

He stopped in his tracks.

He cast his gaze across the thicket.

“It’s a familiar energy.”

He sensed that a guest was approaching.

How did they notice him? He had tried to conceal his energy to avoid being disturbed.

He could feel someone approaching quickly.

A clear thunderous energy.

‘There are two of them.’

The Black Night Palace Head shot the thorns he had prepared for Peng Ah-hee towards the direction where he sensed the energy.

Pyu pyu pyu!

As the thorns flew swiftly to target the opponent.

One of the approaching figures threw down a person and swung a sword to deflect the thorns.

‘Oh.’

That was not a bad judgment.

Moreover it seemed they possessed a level to support such a judgment.

A more condensed energy took shape and flew in.

The moment the heavy energy penetrated.

Kwadduk-!

A fierce sound echoed as the energies collided.

In that fleeting moment the energies clashed and created a rupture.

Screech-!

The energies split and dissipated.

He had severed the energy of the martial artist who had reached the area.

‘Impressive.’

It was a heartfelt compliment.

Soon the owner of the thunderous energy appeared beyond the thicket.

• •• As expected.

Upon confirming the face the Black Night Palace Head spoke.

“I said it was a familiar energy. So it’s the blood of the Sword King.”

The child of the Sword King of that time.

Moreover it was a girl he had seen once before.

“It seems you have business with me.”

The woman who appeared.

Tied her white hair tightly and pointed her sword at the Black Night Palace Head.

She glanced at Dang So-yeol who was leaning against a rock gasping for breath.”’
