Chapter: 660

'I have to hurry.'

Yeowun was concerned that he might not make it in time. According to the urgent message sent to him two days ago, the unexpected guest was expected to arrive at the Demonic Cult's castle within two days. Yeowun was at a location that would take at least 3 days due to the carriage, so Yeowun had to travel alone.

'My Lord. We'll follow along.'

Two elders volunteered to follow, but Yeowun told them to stay behind and take Gam Rosu with them. Yeowun had to slow down if two elders followed him, so he had to travel alone. Officially, Yeowun was known to be in closed room training, but these guests were those that required Yeowun to come out of said closed room training to greet them.

'Faster!'

Yeowun increased his speed. After traveling through the mountains, when Yeowun was about 10 miles away from the castle, he heard the sound of horse hooves and mild trembling on the ground. He opened his senses and sensed many figures. Yeowun then looked in the direction where soldiers were making a long parade as they moved along.

'Oh?'

Yeowun stopped for a second and stood on a high tree, looking at them. There was a lavish golden carriage in the middle, and the flag that was held high in the front had the seal of the Imperial Palace.

'So, it is from the Imperial Palace.'

Many soldiers were guarding the area. It was a parade of over three thousand people. But Yeowun became curious.

'I heard the government does not meddle with Yulin. But those soldiers learned martial arts.'

There were about 300 soldiers with orange armor guarding the golden carriage. They ranged from top to master level warriors.

'And him..?'

There was one man on a horse in the lead, also with orange armor who had learned martial arts. His level was vastly different from that of his men, as this man was at the superior master level.

'Hmm…. A general at the superior master level?'

It was curious as to how a rare-leveled warrior would be within the Imperial Army. There was a handsome-looking young man with a golden sash standing by him, looking like his lieutenant. He was a bit weaker than the man, but he was at the super master level. These two were very different from the others.

'Nano, zoom in.'

[Zooming in on the target.]

Yeowun's eye zoomed in on those two men. He then found the man to be very dignified and strongly featured. It seemed he must be a general with a very high ranking title.

'This is strange.'

But Yeowun was more concerned about the lieutenant. He had unique feelings that felt like he wasn't from an army, but the son of a wealthy family.

'And who is the man in that carriage that is guarded by such group?'

Yeowun felt one person's presence within the carriage, but the man had no martial art power.

'Well, I will know soon enough.'

After looking at them, Yeowun took steps again to go further south so he can get to the castle faster and prepare to greet these guests.

At the same time toward the northern gate of the castle, cultists were busy preparing to greet the guest coming from the Imperial Palace. A road was covered with silk and the other preparations were being made. On the wall, a man with red silk clothes with butterfly embroidery looked toward the north, as if he was waiting for someone.

"Is he not here yet?"

It was Seventh Elder Huan Yi. He had white make-up on to make him look feminine. He was looking toward north with a concerned look. Someone then climbed up from below. It was Great Guardian Marakim with his unique engraved mask.

"Is Lord not here yet?" Marakim asked and Huan Yi shook his head.

"No. The Imperial Army will soon arrive… this is bad."
