Chapter 218

**Season 2, Chapter 132:** Yongbi questions Gang Ryong if he ever heard of the Sagely Arts and describes it as a way to meditate and train themselves. He further explains that Ilgak forced everyone to learn them but admits he is only at the point where he can tell the Dan is a mystic object, to which Gang says that the Sagely Arts sound cool. Yongbi mentions that he senses two Dans from Gang and questions him if he is Okcheonbi. Gang declares that he really is himself and reveals that Okcheonbi doesn't exist anymore, killed by him. He further explains to the puzzled Yongbi that his battle with Okcheonbi wasn't just a fight to the death but a fight to rip away from each other the essence of their very being to destroy them. He adds that if Okcheonbi wasn't distracted by an attack from the back at the last moment, the fight could have gone either way but Gang then back-tracks immediately, announcing that the results wouldn't have changed anyways. After Yongbi asked him about what he is up to, Gang says he's in the middle of a search before using the River Dragon Armour to pull Gha Woobok's body out of the ground which is wrapped in the roots of trees. Yongbi asks Gang about the body and the latter reveals that according to those (the members of the Bewitching Flowers) around him, he suddenly disappeared after being laid down nearby.

At that, Yongbi recognize Gha Woobok as Yangso's student and a user of the Life Drain Technique. Gang Ryong then takes Woobok's hand and detects movement (which appears to be the Life Drain Technique activating) to which Yongbi yells at him to get away. However, Gang tells Yongbi to stay back and starts giving Woobok the energy of both Dans, reviving him.

Some time later, Yongbi converse with a recovering Goo Hwi and assures his comrade that they found no trace of Okcehonbi even after searching for days. Goo Hwi then questions if the Okcheonbi they saw there was even the person they knew, revealing that he felt more like Okcheonbi's regret than himself. He then theorizes that Okcheonbi died from their fight long ago and the thing they fought was only the raw regret in the form of the Asura Demon Lord. Yongbi immediately shoots down Goo Hwi's theory and mentions that his comrade is grossing him out, questioning if he developed feelings after almost coming back from the dead. He then notes that it doesn't matter anymore since their fight is now over before concluding that it felt more like the old times when Okcheonbi was playing puppet games with them. Goo Hwi then inquires on the whereabouts of the Dan to which Yongbi says it is in the hands of the person who can destroy it in the most ideal matter. At that, Goo Hwi hilariously accuses Yongbi of planning on selling it causing the latter to lash out at him.

Meanwhile, Song Yerin and Gang Ryong watches Gha Woobok happily reunite with his family while the Bewitching Flowers secretly observe from a distance, wondering why he is alive. Gang then turn and bows to them from a distance. Elsewhere, a recovered Soh Jinhong checks out his reattached arm while Doh Gyeom embraces his sister outside. At another location, the Baekma Valley sees the four members of the Sage Forest off.

Then one year passes...
