Chapter 210

**Season 2, Chapter 124:** As Gang Ryong stand over Hwan Sa's body which is crushed by debris, a tremor rings throughout the area and the floor beneath him erupts. Dropping down below, he then squeezes through a nearby crevice, interrupting the Sage Forest elder's confrontation with Okcheonbi. Shocked by his sudden appearance, Yongbi questioned Gang on why he was there and the young man replies that he was looking for a way out. Goo Hwi tells Gang that they don't have time to deal with him at the moment and asks him to hold off for now. Yongbi is confused about the situation (not knowing what went down between the two) and Gang apologizes profusely to Goo Hwi, noting that there has been a misunderstanding on his end. Suddenly, Goo Hwi screams at the young man to dodge and an attack subsequently strikes Gang, sending him crashing into a wall. Okcheonbi declares that none shall interrupt their battle and goads Yongbi to use the special technique he broke Hyeol Bi's Dan with. Then to everyone's shock, Gang emerges from the debris seemingly unharmed. Okcheonbi stares at Gang, recognizing him as the person Hwan Sa chose to implant the Dan and wonders if his hypnosis is broken since the young man isn't fighting with the elders. Responding to Okcheonbi, Gang reveals that Hwan Sa is dead and that he is welcome to avenge his ally. At that, Okcheonbi wonders if he was unable to detect Hwan Sa's death because illusionist naturally have ki that is difficult to detect or due his concentration on dealing with the two elders. He then admonishes Hwan Sa for talking big about being able to deal with Gang Ryong with his own power.

Meanwhile, Yongbi hits Gang Ryong on the head and tells him not to intervene as Okcheonbi is their prey. Staring at his opponents, Okcheonbi muses about Gang being the possessor of the Dan and the true disciple of the Heavenly Destroyer , and realizes that when Hwan Sa claimed he was looking for more allies, he was actually making a move to keep the Grand Prelate in check. Okcheonbi then declares that removing the young man now wouldn't be a bad move since he will only get in his way in the future. Yongbi announces that Gang has nothing to do with him and tells him to focus on the elders instead. The Grand Prelate chuckles and reveals that he was the one who encouraged Hwan Sa to kill his master and that at first, he wanted to have Dokgo Ryong as his ally but when he realized that Dokgo Ryong's reasons for seeking the Sage Forest and his reasons were in conflict, he decided to remove him. He further explains that it wasn't easy to convince Hwan Sa since the disciple was afraid of his master. Yongbi catches Gang's attention and tells the young man to not listen to his words since it's one of the most common tricks in his play book before urging Gang to leave the fight to them. Okcheonbi starts gathering ki and angrily announces that none in his Thousand Circle Formation will leave alive and that he is tired of waiting, before unleashing his Asura Blood Demonic Technique, Demon Orb: Light of Annihilation! As Okcheonbi's fearsome technique radiates towards his opponents, Gang jumps in front and blocks it, shocking the two elders. Gang Ryong then notes that if the Asura Demon Lord wanted to face him, he could just have used Hwan Sa's death as an excuse but now he will face the consequences for revealing the truth about him convincing Hwan Sa to betray his master. In response, Okcheonbi says that he only said what had happened.
