Chapter: 321

“I can’t hold back any longer! I was going to wait until we finished Father’s funeral, but this has gone over the line!”

Now even his son had died. There were no one who can ease Baek Munsu’s anger who had lost his son. Only blood of vengeance was going to ease him.

“Wise Clan...!!!”

All leaders of the Poison Clan knew that it was Wise clan that was behind reason of Baek Oh’s death. Baek Oh, who decided to refuse to accept that the sixth test changed his mind in just one day after Lady Mu from the Wise Clan visited them.

“You are right! We shall not play puppet to them any longer!”

Baek Chau also shouted angrily. Their anger was now focused solely on the Wise Clan. Munsu looked at each of the leaders and shouted.

“We must cut the head of that woman. Only then, we will have our father and Churku rest in peace!”

That woman, meant Lady Mu. All of them remembered what happened eight days ago. On the first day of Baek Oh’s funeral, Lady Mu visited them. And to the leaders who knew that it was Lady Mu who changed Baek Oh’s mind, Lady Mu taunted them, accusing they weren’t doing anything to avenge Baek Oh on Chun Yeowun. Of course, they couldn’t forgive Chun Yeowun either and it was the midst of a funeral that they didn’t make it any problem, but it had now gone out of the line.

‘You have gone too far, Wise Clan!’

Baek Churku’s sign of death was from internal damage and sword wound left by Right Sword Left Hand from the Wise Clan. And considering the letter sent by Lee Hameng, the suspect was no doubt Chun Muyeon, the prince of the Wise Clan.

“We have to strike them now!”

“I agree. We have to take them out when half of their power is missing.”

All the leaders agreed. With the 1st to 8th leaders out of the cult’s castle right now, five clans aside from the Poison Clan were missing of their half powers.

“Brother. They will think we will be busy with the funeral for Churku. We must not lose this chance.”

“You are right.”

Baek Munwung’s idea was right. Even Baek Munsu thought it was very reasonable. Munsu then ordered for preparing Churku’s funeral and secretly ordered all forces of the Poison Clan to spread around the cult to gather at midnight. They had been weakened severely due to the Lord’s oppression in the past three years, but without the first Elder Mu Jinwon, it was best chance for them to wipe out the Wise Clan.

And at midnight, the time was now two hours past the time when Baek Munsu decided to attack. At the large courtyard of the Wise Clan’s mansion, the courtyard that was as twice large as the Poison Clan’s, was filled with the smell of blood. There were countless bodies all over the place. The Poison Clan’s vengeance had started, but the result was unexpected.

“Kneel!!”

“Ugh!”

Old man with white hair made a middle-aged man fell on his knee. Man wanted to resist, but the powerful energy pressed him down easily. And as torches were lit, the man’s face was revealed. It was Baek Munsu, with both of his shoulders drenched with blood. Munsu couldn’t raise his head up as he scowled in pain.

‘Dammit... how did this happen?’

Baek Munsu gritted his teeth. At the courtyard that was lit up, all bodies had masks over their head. These were warriors from the Poison clan. Among them, were Baek Chau, Baek Munwung, and other leaders. All of them were killed. Munsu was hard to believe on what just happened.

‘Monster...!’

Baek Munsu when he was ready, ambushed the Wise Clan’s mansion immediately. He thought the Wise Clan would not be ready for any ambush from the Poison Clan. But as they snuck into the courtyard and walked in, they couldn’t find anyone. Baek Munsu then realized it was a trap and tried to retreat, but it was too late. Arrows wielding internal energy fired upon warriors of the Poison Clan and killed half of them easily. Right after that, warriors from the Wise Clan appeared and attacked them. Baek Munsu and the other warriors fought valiantly, as they were enraged with anger but the situation turned upside down with the appearance of the old man and woman with a veil over her head.

‘I can’t believe this...!’

Munsu looked up to see the middle-aged woman with a red veil over her face, cleaning her sword of sticky blood. It was Lady Mu, the first wife of the Lord. Munsu thought she was just merely the wife of Chun Yujong, but she killed Baek Chau and Baek Munwung with her own sword. It was an attack of two grandmasters, but they stood no chance. Not many in the cult knew of her true power.

“You... you hid your skill!”

“Oh, so you can still talk? I didn’t hide anything. Nor that I shown to anyone either.”

“You dare...”

But before Munsu can finish, her sword swung, cutting off Munsu’s neck. His head fell to the ground and Mu spat on it.
