Thunder God's Reincarnation

Chapter 151

Baek Mu-Gun activated the Thunder Gods Shadow and ran more than four kilometers away from the Heretical Emperor Halls martial artists. When he exhausted all his internal energy, the Thunder God's Descent automatically deactivated. As soon as it did, he felt severely lethargic. He would have gone through indescribable pain if not for the Iron Blood Vajra Body Cultivation Technique fortifying his body and offsetting the pain.

Phew, I tried not to overdo it.

Mu-Gun planned to only kill two or three Absolute-Realm demonic practitioners. He did not intend to go so far as to use the Thunder God's Descent since it incurred debt to the Gods. According to the previous successors of the Heavenly Descent Thunder God Sect, the Thunder Gods Descent mortgaged off the soul of the user in return for borrowing the power of the Thunder God. The more the Thunder God's Descent was used, the more of the users soul was imprisoned by the Thunder God. Although he had no idea what price he had to pay if his soul was fully imprisoned, it certainly would not be anything good.

Therefore, Mu-Gun tried not to use the Thunder God's Descent if possible. However, when he heard the Life-Stealing Demonic Monarchs remarks that he would destroy the Baek Sword Sect, it hit a spot in Mu-Guns head that made him use it without caring about the consequences. As a result, he was able to kill two of the Heavenly Killer Sects demonic monarchs.

Mu-Gun looked around, finding himself currently on the path headed for Fengxin. For now, his priority was to recover. Mu-Gun searched for a place safe enough to perform qi circulation. He found one deep in the woods, covered with thick layers of bushes and trees. It was hard to see from the road, so Mu-Gun took a seat and began to circulate his qi. With Mu-Guns martial prowess, he could stay on alert to the surrounding situation even while circulating his qi. Depending on the situation, he could even stop circulating his qi immediately.

Mu-Gun carefully monitored his surroundings while performing qi circulation. He recovered all his internal energy after two hours.

I wonder what happened to the Heretical Emperor Hall.

The Great Ximen Family and the Sichuan Tang Family sent new informants as they retreated back to safer grounds to avoid the attack from the Heretical Emperor Hall. Hence, by now, they would have confirmed that he had gotten rid of all the Absolute-Realm demonic practitioners within the enemys ranks. Moreover, there was a high possibility that they would immediately transition into an offensive and attack the enemy. On the other hand, the Heretical Emperor Hall, which had lost its martial arts masters and their Patriarch, had to be busy running away from the Ximen-Tang coalition.

Mu-Gun decided to head toward the Sky Flower House in Nanchang for now.

Meanwhile, the Ximen-Tang coalition was shocked beyond belief when they received news from their informants that Mu-Gun, who went to investigate the Heretical Emperor Halls forces, annihilated all five Demonic Monarchs from the Nine Celestial Demons Sect and the Higher Demons who followed them. Double-checking the reliability of the information only confirmed it to be true.

How strong must he be to infiltrate the Heretical Emperor Halls battle camp alone and kill all five Absolute-Realm demonic practitioners from the Nine Celestial Demons Sect and their subordinates? Ximen Ying wondered. He still seemed to be in disbelief.

That is something that is impossible to do unless he is a Supreme-Realm master. No, even a Supreme-Realm master would find it difficult to single-handedly kill five Absolute-Realm demonic practitioners and over ten Upper-Peak-Realm demonic practitioners. To top it all off, he did it in the middle of the enemy camp.

That means Young Patriarch Baek has already reached at least the Supreme Realm, but even if he is the Thunder Gods successor, that should have been impossible. Young Patriarch Baek is only twenty-four years old. Even if he started learning martial arts while he was still in his mothers wombno, even if he started from his previous life, he could not have achieved the Supreme Realm at that age.

Tang Ho-Rim and Ximen Dao looked baffled as they discussed Mu-Guns martial realm.

The Thunder Gods martial arts simply possess strength that cannot be explained by the level of his martial realm. Moreover, I heard that the Thunder Gods successor possesses an ultimate technique that allows him to borrow the power of the Thunder God. If Young Patriarch Baek used it, then that would explain how he annihilated five Absolute-Realm demonic practitioners and their subordinates.

Tang Sa-Dok had more information about the Thunder Gods successor than the other three, so he was roughly able to come to a conjecture about the current situation. His explanation somewhat convinced the other three martial arts masters.

I dont know if it is okay to leave Young Patriarch Baek alone, though, Ximen Ying carefully said.

Are you saying you want to kill him? Ho-Rim frowned.

If the Thunder Gods successor has that much power, then wouldnt it be possible for him to shake the position of the Seven Great Families? The Loyal Heart Alliance led by the Baek Sword Sect is growing rapidly as well. They now possess a great enough power that even the Seven Great Families cannot recklessly mess with. At this rate, the Baek Sword Sects power might even exceed the Seven Great Families, Ximen Ying explained.

That is certainly possible. This incident has taught me that even an Absolute-Realm master is not strong enough to deal with the Thunder Gods successor. It has to be a Supreme-Realm master at the very least, Sa-Dok added.

We have the Seven Saints, renowned as the living legends of murim, so why do you see a problem with this? More importantly, it is not right to have a power struggle while the Nine Celestial Demons Sect, a common enemy, is right in front of our eyes, Ho-Rim rebutted, indicating that he was not happy with Ximen Ying and Sa-Dok, who were being wary of Baek Mu-Gun and the Baek Sword Sect.

Everyone, calm down. This matter is not up to us to decide anyway. Lets discuss the matters regarding Young Patriarch Baek through the Seven Saints Summit. For now, lets focus on solving the problem we have at hand. Ximen Dao quickly cleared up the atmosphere, which was seemingly about to go south at any given moment.

The other three masters also agreed with Ximen Dao. Hence, they discussed the issue that involved the Heretical Emperor Hall instead.

Thanks to Young Patriarch Baek, the Heretical Emperor Hall has lost all their Absolute-Realm martial arts masters. It would be a piece of cake to deal with them now. Naturally, we should chase them down and wipe them all out, Ximen Ying insisted on annihilation.

I agree.

I agree as well.

Everyone seems to feel the same way, so let us not delay any longer.

With all four executives agreeing to chase down the Heretical Emperor Hall, they immediately took action.

Meanwhile, Mu-Gun arrived at the Sky Flower House in Nanchang. Upon entering the establishment, So Yeon-Hwa quickly headed out and confirmed that Mu-Gun was safe. Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? Yeon-Hwa asked worryingly.

You must have been very worried.

Why are you so reckless? Why did you take such a risk when even the Great Ximen Family and the Sichuan Tang Family decided to do nothing? Yeon-Hwa snapped after confirming that Mu-Gun was safe.

Her anger made Mu-Gun realize how worried she was about him.

Only I could do this. I came back safely anyway, didnt I? Stop being angry already.

Youre lucky nothing happened to you. There is no guarantee that you will still be safe next time. From now on, dont take matters into your hands so recklessly and prioritize your safety and well-being first, Yeon-Hwa said, her expression slowly calming down.

If someone sees us, they would think that you are my wife.

What do you mean your wife? Cant I worry about you as a friend? Yeon-Hwa replied with a slightly flustered look.

Mu-Gun chuckled at the sight.

How can you laugh in this situation? Yeon-Hwa stared at Mu-Gun in bafflement.

It was certainly reckless, but thanks to that, I was able to kill five Absolute-Realm demonic practitioners from the Nine Celestial Demons Sect. Isnt that something worth laughing at?

Look at you boasting.

Mu-Gun shrugged, then asked, How are you?

Im doing fine.

Thats a relief. Anyway, get ready to leave because we will depart as soon as Im done with my meeting with the Sky Flower House Master.

Got it.

Mu-Gun left Yeon-Hwa on her own and visited Sky Flower House Master Jin Hwa-Youngs residence.

I am glad to see that you are safe and sound.

Thank you. What happened to the remaining martial artists of the Heretical Emperor Hall?

When the Great Ximen Family and the Sichuan Tang Family started giving chase, they immediately chose to run away, Hwa-Young reported.

Which way did they flee?

The five martial platoons are fleeing in different directions.

What did the Great Ximen Family and the Sichuan Tang Family choose to do?

They first took over the Heretical Emperor Halls headquarters, then split up to chase after the remnants of the Heretical Emperor Hall, Hwa-Young explained.

They plan to chase all five martial platoons? Mu-Gun asked.

No, they are currently giving chase to just three.

It seems their plan is based on the number of their Absolute-Realm masters. One of them will probably stay at the Heretical Emperor Halls headquarters, Mu-Gun easily guessed.

Thats right. Nevertheless, eliminating three martial platoons will be enough to destroy the Heretical Emperor Hall. They have already lost their headquarters, after all.

I dont think I will have to do anything else, then.

You have already done something that others could never do, Young Master Baek. If the Great Ximen Family and the Sichuan Tang Family have a conscience, they should take care of the rest, Hwa-Young said firmly.

Do you happen to know anything about the situation at the other evil sects? Mu-Gun asked.

They are probably in a similar situation. The other three Great Evil Clans have fled, and the five Great Families are giving chase. However, they will likely only chase after them for a short while before retreating, Hwa-Young informed Mu-Gun.

This matter will probably be wrapped up once they have taken over the headquarters of the other three Great Evil Clans.

Thats right. There is no reason for the five Great Families to go out of their way to chase after them.

Got it. I am greatly indebted to you for today and yesterday. I will not forget the help I received from you, Mu-Gun thanked Hwa-Young.

Are you heading back to the Baek Sword Sect?

I have finished what I came to do, so I should head back. Can I ask you for a small favor before I go back? please tell the Great Ximen Family and the Sichuan Tang Family that I have gone back ahead of them, Mu-Gun requested.

Ill do that.

Lets meet again when chance permits.

Yes. Until we meet again, I will pray for your good fortune in battle.

Thank you.

Mu-Gun bid Hwa-Young farewell and left her room. Not long after, he left the Sky Flower House with Yeon-Hwa, who was waiting for him outside, and headed straight to Shaoxing instead of Wenzhou since the Baek Sword Sect had completed their migration. Wenzhou was no longer the home of the Baek Sword Sect.

The two planned to go to Shaoxing together, and from there, Yeon-Hwa planned to return to the Putuo Sword Sect by sea. The two had broken up and were no longer in a relationship, so it could have been awkward for them to accompany each other. However, there was no sign of that because they thought of each other as close friends.

Although he occasionally felt a romantic desire for her, Mu-Gun stopped having any lingering feelings for Yeon-Hwa ever since he heard about her decision. Yeon-Hwa also firmly settled her relationship status with Mu-Gun, so they werent awkward with each other.

In consideration of Yeon-Hwas condition, Mu-Gun leisurely traveled. Fortunately, thanks to the Gold Sore Ointment that Mu-Gun received from the Medicine King Family, Yeon-Hwas wound quickly recovered, allowing them to pick up the pace of their journey.

* * *

Four days after they left Nanchang, Mu-Gun and Yeon-Hwa passed by the road that led to Dexing.

Wait!

While they were on their way, Mu-Gun suddenly stopped Yeon-Hwa.

Whats wrong? Yeon-Hwa asked out of curiosity.

Stop hiding and come out. Mu-Gun looked at the forest next to the government road and said.

From Mu-Guns expression, Yeon-Hwa came to the conclusion that someone was hiding in the forest. Sure enough, a middle-aged man dressed in black walked out of the forest.

The Specter Sect Patriarch.

Mu-Gun immediately recognized that the middle-aged man was the Specter Slayer King, the Specter Sects Patriarch as well as one of the Three Great Slayer Kings. Just in case, he checked if the other two Slayer Kings were present, but he did not detect other energy sources.

It is courageous of you to appear in front of me on your own, Mu-Gun said firmly.

I did not come here to fight. I just want to confirm something, the Specter Slayer King said.

I have no intention of ever forgiving those who pointed a sword at people I cherish, Mu-Gun said as he unleashed a burst of qi.

Ugh, how do you know the Specter Sects martial arts? the Specter Slayer King asked, barely able to withstand Mu-Guns qi.

You risked your life just to confirm that?

This matter is important to our sect. How do you know our sects martial arts?

I only learned what the previous Thunder Gods successor left behind.

The previous Thunder Gods successor left it behind? the Specter Slayer King asked in doubt. He appeared to be full of questions.

The fact that the Thunder Gods successor left behind the Specter Sects martial arts as part of his legacy made no sense at all.

That is all I can tell you. Is there anything else you want to confirm?

Was the Heavenly Spectral Assassin Sword Art among the Specter Sects martial arts that the previous Thunder Gods successor left behind?

The Heavenly Spectral Assassin Sword Art was the strongest martial art in the Specter Sect, but it had long since been lost. Interestingly enough, Mu-Guns previous reincarnation was involved in the incident that caused the loss of the Heavenly Spectral Assassin Sword Art.

During his third reincarnation, Mu-Gun lived the life of Mu Young, an assassin of the Specter Sect. One of their best assassins, Mu Young was favored by that eras Specter Sect Patriarch. He also properly followed the Specter Sect Patriarchs leadership, considering him a father figure. However, he chanced upon a shocking truth that changed everything. He found out that the Specter Sect Patriarch assassinated Mu Youngs parents.

The reason the Specter Sect Patriarch spared Mu Young and took him in as a disciple was not out of guilt. Rather, it was because the physique Mu Young was born with was too good to waste. Hence, the Specter Sect Patriarch attempted to revive the glory of the Specter Sect by taking Mu Young as a disciple and raising him to become the greatest assassin.

Finding out that truth after many twists and turns, Mu-Young felt an indescribable sense of betrayal. Vowing to take revenge, he spent a long time scheming and plotting, then executed his plan when it was finally close to perfection. However, the Specter Sect Patriarchs martial prowess far surpassed his expectations. In the end, as a last resort, he sacrificed his own life and perished with the Specter Sect Patriarch.

Only the Specter Sect Patriarch could learn the Heavenly Spectral Assassin Sword Art, and it was passed down only through verbal teachings. Hence, when the Specter Sect Patriarch of Mu Youngs era, the only successor of the Heavenly Spectral Assassin Sword Art, died, the martial legacy of the Heavenly Spectral Assassin Sword Art inevitably vanished.

The Specter Sect made every effort to restore the Heavenly Spectral Assassin Sword Art, but they failed every time they tried. When the current Specter Sect Patriarch, the Specter Slayer King, saw Mu-Gun executing the Dark Specter Stealth Art to a degree that was close to perfection, he took the risk and appeared in front of Mu-Gun, thinking that he might know of the Heavenly Spectral Assassin Sword Art.
