After Gang recognize the old man as Jin Garyeong's grandfather, the Heaven Ravager King mentions that he just happened to stumble into the place and questions how Gang got there. Gang reply that he stumbled into the place as well to which Goo Hwi notes they are in a strange place. Then Hwan Sa uses the Illusion Technique, Divided Soul: Arcane Relay on Gang, explaining that the memories the River Dragon Armour showed the young man were mostly true, but fragments of an incompletely memory that leaves out the crucial details. As such, even Gang's original memories were corrupted resulting in his confusion. Hwan Sa then says that the technique was set to trigger upon activation of the Dan and now he will use it to fill in the gaps in Gang's memory.

The **Bewitching Flowers** (요화단, *Yohwadan*) are a band of "fixers" shrouded in mystery and lead by the Architect of Death, Heuk Lan.

## History

The Bewitching Flowers were comissioned by the Gold Dragon Guild to take care of a man named Nue Dong. They set up traps to take him out but due to unfortunate run-ins with Gang Ryong, they failed both times. Nue Dong was eventually defeated by Ryong.

With their leader Heuk Lan having become infatuated with Gang Ryong, the members of the Bewitching Flowers began keeping tabs on him. Due to this, they inadvertently informed Ryong of the attack on the tavern-at-the-fork by masked men and later rescued the unconscious Ryong after his titanic battle with Ze Wungang and Nameless, nursing him back to health. Even after this, they continued stalking Gang Ryong.

They later followed Gang Ryong all the way to the Sky Gorge Mountain and aided him and Gha Woobok there.

## Overview

It is said that with the Bewitching Flowers, there is no fear of blowback even when they fail. Their method of eliminating their targets is by arranged "accidents". The members wear black garments reminiscent of the stereotypical ninja, including a face mask that covers the bottom part of their face.

## Notes & Trivia

* Their headquarters is hidden in Yellow Dragon Mountain and protected by a barrier.

Taking a moment to relish his new powers, Hyeol comments that he had been suppressing the explosive power all this time fearing he would have been unable to control but now he can use it to his heart's content. After seeing that Gang survived, the Black Dragon King unleashes another explosion and the armour encapsulates Gang and retreats. However, the armour is unable to escape as Hyeol Bi encases it in a sphere of rock. Bringing the sphere closer to him, Hyeol Bi clenches his fist causing the rock to contract, pulverizing it, leaving only the armour left. He then praises the durability of the armour before effortlessly cutting it open and blows it away. Hyeol Bi lifts Gang up with his powers and with the young man at his mercy, sadistically contorts his limbs after asking for his last words.

Hyeol Bi recalls Hwan Sa's words about how if he uses the exploding power from Demonic Resurrection before he can control it perfectly, his body and mind will be destroyed. He then muses about how he is sure Hwan Sa never wished for him to be able to control such power.

Black Lancers

The **Black Lancers**, also known as the **Black** **Nachal** by the barbarians, was the deadliest cavalry regiment in the country serving under the **Grand General's Command** (대장군부, *Daejang-gunbu*), the most powerful military organization in the country, under the direct command of the Emperor.

## History

In the past, fearing that the barbarians will one day invade the Middle Kingdom, the Grand General ordered the Black Lancers to exterminate the Horselords of the borderlands. Under the command of Yongbi, the Black Lancers waged thirty battles leading from the South to the North, and successfully defeated the warriors of the Horselords and their prince which forced the tribe's women, old, and children to sell themselves into slavery to survive.

Despite nearly annihilating the Horselord's forces in the final battle, the Black Lancers perished alongside them in a trap set by the Grand General with the only survivors being Yongbi and Jeok Seong.

## Structure

The Black Lancers were a cavalry regiment serving under the Grand General's command so the Grand General and his chief aide Hwang San were the immediate superiors of the Black Lancers. Serving directly underneath the Grand General was Yongbi who acted as lord commander on the battlefield. Then there were sub-groups such as the White Tiger Squad led by captain Jeok Seong and the Black Dragon Squad led by Gwi Doh.

## Known Members

**High Command**

**Troops**

## Notes & Trivia

* The members of the Black Lancers have "tainted pasts" suggesting that they were criminals.
	+ This is most likely the case considering that Jeok Seong was arrested for murder and subsequently became a member of the Black Lancers. The other members were also taken in by the authorities before being inducted into the regiment.
* In two years, the Black Lancers lost nine Lord Commanders in battle with the two previous ones before Yongbi confirmed to have been killed by their own men.

Eventually, their fight brings them to an underground armory that allows to the Lightning God's Blue Dragon Sword to control chains to attack Yongbi. Crashing into the ground after dodging, Yongbi recalls the Gold Bug's words about how the Lighting God's Blue Dragon Sword can turn a person into the "most powerful invincible warrior under the sun", and smugly mentions that Sanggwan Chaek is no invincible warrior but admits that his ability to recover is worthy of such a claim. Then Sanggwan Chaek releases an enormous amount of ki.

Abyssal Void

**Two Wheel, Dark Wheel Strike Ultimate: Abyssal Void** is an advanced variation of the Divine Heavenly Destruction technique Dark Wheel Strike.

Whilst already using Dark Wheel Strike, the user implements even more ki into the technique, generating an even more violent, more destructively encompassing vortex that is large enough and powerful enough to dwarf and swallow up a technique the power and scale of Welkin Lightning, Demonic Rings: Firmament Incineration. The ferocity of this technique is so powerful that the effects of the powerful vortex still pulls on people who are outside of its immediate range.

Anyone caught within the technique's sphere of resonance is trapped inside a seemingly endless soundless pitch-black void. The user is able to appear and move around freely within their sphere of resonance, enabling them to fight at their best. Conversely, victims trapped inside the sphere of resonance suffer from the stifling effects of the generated ki, causing their body to feel heavier, making breathing harder and making their movements more sluggish. Victims may also suffer from slight disorientation due to a lack of landmarks and surroundings to orient themselves with. It is apparently very difficult to use other ki techniques within the Abyssal Void, even for the user themselves (as it utilises too much ki doing so), but the user can return whatever attacks the Abyssal Void has absorbed using the Abyssal Summoning technique.

**Chapter 120:** AsYongbi and Jeok Seong resumes their battle, one of the Four Yellow Dragons informs Hong Ye-Mong that Elder Muk's condition is improving. Then Yongbi knocks Jeok Seong down and informs the latter that he has no intentions of dying yet. Jeok Seong angrily gets up and attacks but is easily knocked down once more. This time, Jeok Seong questions Yongbi if him being alive makes the latter happy. Struggling to get up, Jeok Seong informs Yongbi of some things that puzzled him. Firstly, Jeok Seong wondered why Yongbi was wandering around the murim as a bounty hunter instead of being a key figure in the Grand General's Command and despite having a fiancee of incredible wealth and influence. When he found out that Yongbi was gathering money for the Horselords, their enemies, he set out to kill his former commander as vengeance for his comrades. Secondly, he wonders why Yongbi now wouldn't kill him despite his ruthlessness in the past. As Jeok Seong is about to reveal the third thing that puzzled him about Yongbi's actions, Yongbi tells Jeok Seong to shut up.

Contemplating, Yongbi voices his displeasure in missing the opportunity to swindle more money from the boy. At that moment, a maid named Aeng Aeng arrives to entertain Yongbi who mistakes her for a harlot and starts undressing himself. Annoyed by Yongbi's actions, Aeng Aeng quickly corrects his misunderstanding.

Elsewhere, Hwangbo Soong, the chief of Geumcheonbo's Hobuk branch, has a discussion with his aide about the boy and the massacre at Geumcheonbo headquarters which caused death of the boy's parents and family retainers. While the boy is taking a bath, Hwangbo searches his clothing but is unable to find what he is looking for. Meanwhile, Biryong is causing havoc in the stables, causing the workers to plead with a very drunk Yongbi to stop him. Yongbi tells the workers to feed Biryong wine and meat instead of fodder which eventually calms Biryong down. Back at the prison, Goo Hwi had managed to subdue the other prisoners and after his pressure points releases, Goo Hwi proceeds to free himself from his shackles.

Meanwhile, the boy reveals to Hwangbo that he gave the medallion to Yongbi which resulted in Hwangbo gathering his guards to retrieve the medallion from him. While Yongbi is sleeping, a guard cuts him in half and Hwangbo searches Yongbi's clothes but to his surprise, finds only women's underwear. Yongbi then slyly reveals to Aeng Aeng that he is still alive.

With Jinhong rudely refusing their offer, they leave, giving him some food, but mention they will be back. As they leave, Jinhong recalls the words the people of the village and wonders who he and his retainer really were.

A few days later, the two men return to find the food uneaten and Jinhong in an exhausted state. Asking Jinhong if he had reconsidered their offer, he replies if they knew what he wanted and they mention Jinhong's retainer. They then reveal some of the information they knew about the mysterious old man and tell Jinhong to come to the Baekma Valley when ready as it would be the last time they come. As they left, they mentioned that a "monster" was searching for him and that he was not someone Jinhong could handle. Remembering he had unfinished business, Jinhong got to his feet and left.

Elsewhere, Gang finishes a delivery and is heading home when he spots Soh Jinhong. Launching himself at the swordsman, he tells him he wasn't getting away this time.

Chapter 124 (Yongbi)

**Chapter 124:** In the meeting with a chieftain, the Gold Bug trades a large chest of gold for ownership of one thousand slaves. After participating in a banquet thrown by the nomadic tribe, the Gold Bug and Gongson Seung goes to observe a tribe from atop a cliff. Gongson Seung questions if the tribe are the 'thirty thousand lives' that Yongbi is supporting and the Gold Bug confirms it is. In their ensuing conversation, it is also revealed that even though Yongbi is sending money to help the tribe, he is not doing it out of regret for slaughtering their families in the past. Yongbi does not care how the Gold Bug spends the money and or if it actually helps them or not, all he cares is that the money is being sent to the tribes. Then the Gold Bug and Gongson Seung muses about how Yongbi was able to escape Yogok Gorge despite being separated from Biryong. The Gold Bug speculates that the reason Yongbi is helping the Horselords tribe is because their Prince was the one who saved Yongbi's life.

In a flashback, Yongbi rushes to Yogok Gorge only to be met with the gruesome bodies of his men and the Horselords rolling in the roaring flames. He eventually encounters the Prince who tells him that the war is over and that he should not have come to the gorge. Then an explosion engulfs them both.

Later, Yongbi wakes up in a tent as the Prince of the Horselords sit nearby drinking. Yongbi notices that the Prince has lost his right leg.

Chapter 114 (Yongbi)

**Chapter 114:** Sanggwan Chaek relentlessly slashes at Ilgak but the monk evades every single one thanks to his amazing agility and reflexes. Knowing that he cannot retrieve the sword just by dodging, Ilgak takes off his Mala to use as a weapon and prepares to fight. In the ensuing clash, Ilgak attempts to block a slash with his mala but the sword cuts straight through it. Ilgak dodges the slash and sends Sanggwan Chaek flying with two kicks to the head and then in one swift move, launches the beads from his severed mala, riddling Sanggwan Chaek with holes. With Sanggwan Chaek seemingly dead, Ilgak goes over to retrieve the sword but finds it fused to the former's hand. Sanggwan Chaek (possessed) gets up and his body pushes the mala beads out of his flesh. Ilgak manages to evade the ensuing slashes, noting that the power behind them has increased. After mentioning that Sanggwan Chaek looks no longer human, Ilgak exudes an immense amount of ki and counters with a secret technique, releasing a massive explosion.

The Prelate starts generating ki and questions Goo Hwi on details of his survival.

At this revelation, Goo Hwi angrily releases his ki and prepares to fight the Prelate.
