Chapter: 424

But that was obvious. Demonic Cult had every cultist to carry medals that proved of themselves who they were and took control of everyone who entered the castle, that made hard for sneaking into the castle with the normal route.

And at the Hall of the Feast, there were hundreds of guards standing guard over one groups. They were guests from the Yulin clan.

“Hmph. I wonder how long will our lockdown will remain.”

Moyong Kang spoke from his seat with a frown. Every guests from the Yulin clan were locked at the Hall of the Feast for the night.

“We have to prove our innocence for the alliance, Moyong. Be patient.”

Poong Chungwun spoke, but he too was frustrated by their state. However, enemies had snuck in through their group so they couldn’t object against the Cult’s decision. They too would have done the same if the situation was the other way around. Jegal Sohi then spoke to both.

“We have told them what we know, so they will make decision soon. I ask you two leaders to be more patient while we wait.”

“Hmph. I understood, Strategist Jegal.”

“Alright.”

All four enemies from this incident entered the castle faking themselves as guards of Jegal Sohi. After getting out of the hypnosis, she remembered everything again.

‘I didn’t expect them to use me like that...’

She was on her way down south, after being designated as a representative of the Yulin clan in regards to the alliance. While on her way to be with two leaders who were staying at Kangsuh Castle, she was ambushed by mysterious enemies. But she remembered until being ambushed, and when she got back to her senses, she was already within the forces of Justice clan, on their parade. What’s more mysterious was that until the moment her hypnosis broke, she recognized four guards as her original guards.

‘I explained this to them...’

But this wasn’t enough to prove their innocence. She had attacked Crown Prince under hypnosis, so this acted against their innocence. Even with her intelligence, she couldn’t find any other way but to wait. And there was one more thing that concerned her most.

‘I moved as a secret mission... only those who knew my mission were those of 17 leaders...’

It was possible that there were spies among 17 leaders of the Yulin clan. That was the only possible way to find her secret rout and ambush her.

‘I have to prove my innocence and return to my clan...!’

But the problem didn’t seem to solve itself quickly. She then looked over to people gathered on the left side of the hall. They were warriors from Yulin clan who were under hypnosis and attacked cultists. And there were also clan leaders from Cultists who were hypnotized also kept separately on the other side.

“Hmmph.”

And there were others who were checking on each group. These were doctors led by Demon Doctor Baek Jongwu, checking on those who were hypnotized.

‘There seems to be no issue.’

And overnight, Baek Jongwu and his doctors couldn’t find anything. They had thought hypnosis had made some kind of trace, but there was nothing that seemed to be out of place.

“Doctor.”

Another doctor who checked on foods from the party came over to Baek Jongwu.

“What did you find?”

“There is no poison on any drinks or foods.”

“I see. As expected.”

Baek Jongwu nodded. There was no trace on the ones that were hypnotized, so he didn’t expect to find anything from the food either. All foods prepared in the palace were already searched and examined carefully beforehand.

‘Crown Prince is wrong.’

The reason for doctors to do this extensive search was because of Chun Yeowun. He had asked the Lord to proceed with searching for any possible substance that might have caused hypnosis. It was Chun Yeowun who found people under hypnosis, so the Lord thought he had a point and ordered the Demon Doctor to go ahead with the investigation. But the result came as a failure.
