The Youngest Member of the Martial Alliance Chapter 161

"Do you see that too?"

The Intelligence Unit Commander said, his voice trembling. To beco a hall master of the Martial Alliance, one must have seen all sorts of terrible things in their life.

Even he, who did not flinch in front of the Poison Lord, felt his heart tremble at the sight of the spiritual beast, the imugi.

Cheon Woojin was also surprised. Of course, it was not fear. He was just surprised that the Black Master's words, not the White Master's, were correct.

It was then.

"How could the Demonic Cult do this to us? We have lived obediently like the snakes you command for the past several decades, but you would annihilate the Poison Valley for disobeying your order just once?"

A voice, plain without any distinguishing features but not unpleasant to hear, was heard.

The gazes of Cheon Woojin and the Intelligence Unit Commander turned to the back of the imugi. A man who had appeared at so point was glaring at the two with one hand on the imugi's body.

"Is that the first valley lord?"

"Yes. I've only seen his face in a painting, but seeing him in person, he really has no distinguishing features."

As the Intelligence Unit Commander had said, the first valley lord had an impression that could be commonly seen in the marketplace. It was strange that such a person was the head of the Poison Valley, one of the three great poison sects in the world.

"Should I kill him?"

Cheon Woojin said so.

At that, the imugi, which had sensed the killing intent, moved its body slightly and blocked the space between the first valley lord and Cheon Woojin. At that sight, the Intelligence Unit Commander took a step back and said.

"It's still a spiritual beast. If it's an imugi, it's a spiritual beast right before becoming a dragon. How can we humans do anything about it?"

"It'll work out sohow, won't it?"

Cheon Woojin shrugged. If you thought about it that way, the Dark Heavenly Son was also called an evil god, but wasn't he sealed by the two masters and Mangija?

No matter how he thought about it, it seed that this imugi was not stronger than the Dark Heavenly Son.

At the two's conversation, the first valley lord's eyes narrowed. He had thought they were guys from the Poison Demon Unit of the Demonic Cult, but he felt a sense of incongruity.

"You guys... you're not from the Demonic Cult, are you?"

The first valley lord was smart. Since he was able to command the spiritual beast, the imugi, as his own hands and feet, his ability was also outstanding.

The first valley lord, who had been lost in thought for a mont, said as if he had realized.

"It's the Martial Alliance."

If it wasn't the Demonic Cult, the only forces that would do this to the Poison Valley were the Martial Alliance and the Black Plaque Star. Both forces had enough justification.

However, there was no reason for the Black Plaque Star to deceive the Poison Lord of the Demonic Cult and act in concert with the Poison Demon Unit.

Cheon Woojin obediently nodded at the first valley lord's deduction and took out his Crane Feather Fan. At that, the first valley lord hurriedly continued.

"I-I have no reason to fight the Martial Alliance. Rather, since I refused when the Demonic Cult ordered to attack the Alliance."

"Many Alliance mbers died at the hands of the fifth valley lord. If the Poison Demon had not stepped forward, more martial artists would have died."

"Poison Demon? Was there a person called the Poison Demon in this era?"

The first valley lord tilted his head. But as Cheon Woojin looked at him as if he had no intention of answering, he soon continued.

"She is not my subordinate. Our Poison Valley has each valley lord having independent authority. It ans that whatever she does has nothing to do with ."

"I see."

Cheon Woojin nodded.

It was a plausible statent in its own way.

"What should we do, Hall Master?"

"It's not a matter for to judge. First, let's take him alive to the Alliance."

"Yes."

Cheon Woojin took a step forward. At that, the imugi made a threatening sound and opened its mouth. Although it was on the verge of rushing in, Cheon Woojin looked at it without blinking an eye.

"Valley Lord, move the imugi. Otherwise, I have no choice but to kill it."

The first valley lord gently stroked the imugi's body. At that, the imugi obediently lowered its body.

The first valley lord looked at the imugi with pitiful eyes for a mont and then said.

"You guys should subdue this child with your acupoint techniques. I can only control the imugi a little, I can't put it to sleep. It's because I don't have internal energy. If I just leave it like this, it might go out of the cave and a dangerous situation might occur."

The first valley lord told them the imugi's acupoints and said to co and subdue it. Cheon Woojin, who had nodded, took one step, two steps towards the imugi.

Soon, when he stood right in front of it and was about to press the acupoints of the frightened imugi, their eyes t.

Sothing huge shot up from the ground.

The Intelligence Unit Commander, who was looking at it, was startled. It was because what had shot up in an instant had swallowed the heads of Cheon Woojin and the imugi whole, and without reducing its montum, it had broken through the cave and gone outside.

Soon, when the huge and long thing had soared for a long ti and disappeared, a hole with an enormous radius was pierced in the ceiling of the cave.

"Wh-what..."

The Intelligence Unit Commander, who was left alone in his place, looked at the first valley lord and the imugi, which had only its body left, with surprised eyes.

The first valley lord let out a grin.

"You guys are truly foolish. Did this pathetic poisonous snake look like an imugi? If you really face an imugi, a re human should be overwheld by its montum and not even be able to stand on two feet. Well, you'll find out now."

What the Intelligence Unit Commander and Cheon Woojin had thought was an imugi was just a huge snake that the first valley lord was raising. But, he was talking as if there really was an imugi.

"Then..."

Does that an that what had swallowed Cheon Woojin a mont ago and had gone out of the cave was an imugi?

A look of failure was present on the Intelligence Unit Commander's face. If the Hidden Dragon Unit Commander, a master of Heaven Beyond Heaven, had been defeated in such an instant, there was no longer any chance of victory.

It was then.

"Hall Master, please co outside first. It's about to collapse."

The Hidden Dragon Unit Commander's voice was heard from outside the cave.

Before he could even grasp the situation, the ceiling was already collapsing.

The Intelligence Unit Commander hurriedly flew his body and shot a finger wind at the first valley lord. Even if he had to run away, he could not let the guy live. But huge poisonous snakes that had appeared from here and there blocked the first valley lord with their bodies.

The finger wind pierced through five or six poisonous snakes, but in the end, it could not reach the first valley lord.

"...Damn it."

The Intelligence Unit Commander left his regret behind and went out of the cave. If he delayed any longer, there was a high probability that he would be crushed to death by a pile of rocks.

The first valley lord was also disappointed. He had learned of the existence of the imugi through the ancient books of the Poison Valley. He had spent his entire life to awaken and handle that imugi. Now that work was right in front of him, and if he succeeded, he thought he could put both the Demonic Cult and the Martial Alliance under the feet of the Poison Valley.

But, it had suddenly beco like this. He could not yet perfectly control the imugi. He could only make the imugi go crazy by injecting a large amount of deadly poison that he had collected for decades.

.

.

.

The Intelligence Unit Commander who had co out was dazed.

The scene unfolding before his eyes was so strange that he would have thought it was unrealistic even if he had seen it in a dream.

Above the huge canyon of the Poison Valley, the imugi, which looked like a dragon, and Cheon Woojin were facing each other. It just looked like a painting depicting a legend.

Cheon Woojin was feeling a rare interest. Even though such a huge creature was located in that small cave, he had not felt its ki sense at all.

Also, from the huge fangs of the imugi that were touching his Crane Feather Fan, which was covered in a thick strong ki, he felt an indescribable power.

Cheon Woojin, who had firmly planted his feet, was slowly being pushed back, leaving marks on the ground. It was the first ti since he had grown up that he had been pushed back by pure physical strength.

Cheon Woojin montarily folded his Crane Feather Fan and hit the imugi's nose. At the sa ti, he moved his body back, but the imugi rushed in at a trendous speed.

He hit its nose again. Although it contained a power that could smash the head of a transcendent master in one blow, the imugi just shook its head as if it were dizzy for a mont.

In that short gap, Cheon Woojin descended next to the Intelligence Unit Commander. It was because he was doubtful if he could save the Intelligence Unit Commander if the imugi, which had such a great power, suddenly changed its trajectory and attacked him.

"U-Unit Commander. Am I dreaming right now?"

"Why don't you get bitten once? You'll wake up right away."

The Intelligence Unit Commander looked at the imugi's huge mouth and fangs and trembled.

"Don't even say such a thing as a joke. Should we run away for now? It's not sothing a human can face."

Even he, who had reached the transcendent realm, felt his legs constantly giving way, so standing like this was his limit.

Cheon Woojin nodded.

"Yes, let's do that."

"But, my legs won't move."

"..."

Cheon Woojin smacked his lips and looked at the Intelligence Unit Commander. The Intelligence Unit Commander, feeling sorry for no reason, scratched his head.

Soon, the imugi, which had co to its senses, rushed towards the two, and Cheon Woojin grabbed the Intelligence Unit Commander's clothes and kicked the ground.

Although the imugi was fast, Cheon Woojin was a little faster.

Only after putting a considerable distance between them did the Intelligence Unit Commander, who had been freed from the imugi's presence, begin to run on his own feet.

"Hall Master."

"What."

"If we run away like this, whatever is in our path will be destroyed and die."

The Intelligence Unit Commander nodded. If an imugi of that size and power were to pass by a village, that place would no longer be a village, but a field.

"I'll stop it."

"What?"

The startled Intelligence Unit Commander turned his head to the side. But Cheon Woojin, who had been running side by side, had already disappeared.

At the sa ti, a huge explosion erupted from a distance.

A white whirlwind that covered the heavens and the earth and the imugi clashed in the air. It was just like watching a fight between a spiritual beast and an immortal.

Cheon Woojin had gone beyond simple interest and had reached enjoynt. The White Master's ultimate art, the Crane Wind Flash, was not even leaving a single scratch on the imugi's skin.

If his two masters had seen this guy when they were alive, they would have surely been delighted and would have fought for days and nights.

Cheon Woojin, after fighting a huge battle for a mont and observing the imugi, decided to settle the match.

As he put away his Crane Feather Fan, the white whirlwind that had been fighting fiercely with the imugi subsided. Cheon Woojin stood still in his place and watched the imugi.

The imugi rushed in with its mouth wide open, as if to swallow such a Cheon Woojin in one bite.

The Intelligence Unit Commander's voice was heard urgently from behind.

"You crazy bastard!"

The Intelligence Unit Commander drew his sword and was approaching Cheon Woojin. It seed he had misunderstood that he was trying to sacrifice himself or sothing.

As Cheon Woojin lightly extended his hand, a formless energy poured out and sent the Intelligence Unit Commander flying back again.

The Intelligence Unit Commander, who had fluttered away like a paper doll, looked at Cheon Woojin with serious eyes.

- There's no chance of winning outside.

Leaving those words behind.

Cheon Woojin was really swallowed whole by the imugi.

.

.

.

The imugi that had swallowed Cheon Woojin coiled up and half-fell asleep.

No matter how much of a spiritual beast an imugi was, to digest a master of Heaven Beyond Heaven, one had to prepare with determination.

The imugi had lived its life by eating other spiritual beasts. It had trained for hundreds of years to beco a dragon.

To such an imugi, Cheon Woojin, who had an enormous amount of energy, would have been a high-quality al.

Of course, sothing else was happening inside.

"It's not as dark as I thought."

Cheon Woojin walked calmly, looking around the inside of the imugi's body. It was so huge that it could be considered a cave located in a large mountain.

Green, sticky stomach acid poured out from all directions.

The Poison Valley and the Poison Demon Unit. No, it was a deadly poison that even the Poisonous Hand and the Poison King could not imitate.

Nevertheless, Cheon Woojin was calm. The stomach acid could not affect Cheon Woojin at all. It was because he had already reached the perfect realm of being immune to all poisons.

Cheon Woojin spread his Crane Feather Fan. The inside was certainly much softer and more tender than the scales on the outside. He was confident that he could tear this inside apart with the Crane Wind Flash.

But he didn't feel like it. The mont right before he was eaten by the imugi. For so reason, the imugi's gaze had felt very sad.

The imugi was a spiritual beast.

Judging by its size and the energy it had, it must have lived for at least hundreds of years.

If it were an inherently evil being, could it have survived on the ground for that long?

Even the Dark Heavenly Son had been constantly attacked by those who despised and feared his evil, and in the end, he had even been sealed.

Moreover, if the imugi had lived by committing evil deeds, the martial artists who had made the world tremble in the history of hundreds of years, or... although unrealistic, the immortals would not have left it alone.

"Well, if there's an imugi, there's no law that says there can't be an immortal."

Thinking so, instead of fanning his Crane Feather Fan, he walked for a mont. As he got deeper into the body, he felt a rather fierce and huge power.

It seed to be the source of the imugi's spiritual power. From there, a constant pulsation like a heart was spreading.

Soon, Cheon Woojin stood in front of a bead that was presud to be the imugi's spiritual core. From the bead, which was the size of a human head, a blue and black energy was gathered.

He could tell as soon as he saw it. The blue was the imugi's spiritual power, and the black was the poison ki that the first valley lord had injected for decades.

"He did a terrible thing to a spiritual beast that can't speak."

Although he had expected the imugi to have lived for at least a few hundred years, his thoughts changed after seeing the inner core.

At least a thousand years. The imugi's spiritual power was that huge and dense. It was a being that would not have been strange if it had beco a dragon long ago, so ordinary poison would not have worked.

The poison that the first valley lord had used was very unique. It was a poison, but it was not a poison. It seed to naturally lt into the imugi's spiritual power.

'Is it a secret tradition passed down in the Poison Valley?'

Whatever it was, it didn't matter.

Cheon Woojin placed his palm on the inner core without hesitation.

At that, an enormous repulsive force was felt. An ordinary martial artist would have had their arm explode as soon as they touched it.

Even Cheon Woojin let out a hmm sound and furrowed his brow slightly.

"Be still. It's all for your own good."

The imugi, as if startled, twisted its body wildly. Thanks to that, the stomach acid poured out even more fiercely.

However, the stomach acid could not even reach within one zhang of Cheon Woojin. He was deliberately pushing it away by operating his ki. It was because his clothes were not immune to all poisons, so it would be embarrassing if they lted.

Cheon Woojin began to control the spiritual power in the inner core with the internal energy he had injected through his palm. The principle was similar to when he had treated the Poison King's dentia.

Naturally, the imugi resisted wildly. It was fiercely resisting so as not to lose control of its energy.

But although the imugi might have more simple energy, the ability to handle energy could not be surpassed by a beast over a human.

Of course, the opponent was not just a beast, but a spiritual beast, but this side was also not just a human, but Cheon Woojin.
