Because at the very moment the Bright Cult had been exposed to Tibet’s full-scale invasion led by the Potala Palace, the Bright Cult’s main forces had happened to be absent.

It had been precisely when both the Cult Leader and the Vice Cult Leader had led the Bright Cult’s primary forces outside in order to suppress the chaos within the Eighteen Demonic Sects.

So after hesitating, he had rushed there.

Perhaps because his hesitation had lasted too long, by the time the Dark Hidden One arrived, the Bright Cult’s Main Fortress had already suffered countless deaths, and the fortress itself stood on the brink of collapse.

Just as the Dark Hidden One was about to intervene, he returned.

Someone far stronger than the Vice Cult Leader he remembered.

His presence had been so majestic that the Dark Hidden One’s chest trembled and tears nearly welled in his eyes.

He could not bring himself to step before him.

It was while hesitating and turning away that he discovered Profound Demon and the Ice Heaven Blade King among the retreating Tibetan martial artists, captured as prisoners.

The Ice Heaven Blade King was one matter, but he could not simply allow Profound Demon to be dragged away like that.

At the very least, they shared that much connection.

That was why he infiltrated the Tibetan martial artists and rescued the two.

The problem was that neither of those rescued was in a normal state.

Nor could he bring such people back to his own residence. It might send the wrong signal to those who followed him.

Thus he left them at Crescent Moon Spring, a place where human footsteps rarely reached.

Hoping he might make use of them later when he returned to his true appearance.

Of course, that time kept getting pushed further and further away.

Emerging from his recollection, the Dark Hidden One spoke in a heavy voice.

“Leave them be. Returning that way may not be bad either.”

“But did you not leave them there because you intended to use them elsewhere?”

“That was true, but this does not seem so bad either.”

Sensing a weariness in his lord’s voice unlike anything he had felt before, Maengseong cautiously asked,

“Has something happened?”

“The fact that you ask such a question must mean I appear shaken.”

“M-My apologies, my lord.”

The Dark Hidden One turned toward the bowing Maengseong and smiled warmly.

“There is no reason for you to apologize for my failings. Waiting has simply become harder these days.”

“Shall I procure mountain ginseng from the Eastern Lands again, as before?”

“No need. This is not caused by a lack of vitality.”

“My lord…….”

The Dark Hidden One smiled faintly once more at the worried Maengseong before asking,

“By the way, is Remnant Hand still not found?”

“My apologies.”

The Dark Hidden One shook his head at Maengseong’s apology.

“This is not Remnant Hand’s fault. As you yourself once said, if he truly wishes to hide, finding him is difficult. I merely ask because it is regrettable.”

“It seems he has hidden himself so thoroughly that we cannot grasp even the slightest trace.”

“That would be natural. If he truly intended to hide, this is exactly how it should be. Recall Remnant Hand now.”

“But it still feels too early to give up…….”

“Much time has already passed. His injuries should have mostly healed by now. There is no need to create problems by revealing that we are pursuing him.”

“Understood. I shall send word for him to return immediately.”

“Good. And I think I may visit Jiuzhaigou soon.”

At the Dark Hidden One’s words, Maengseong’s expression hardened.

“M-My apologies. I failed to prepare in advance.”

“It is not something you need concern yourself with. I merely wished to inform you beforehand so that chaos does not arise should I suddenly disappear.”

“Will you remain there long?”

“Who knows. Perhaps around fifteen days, like before.”

“Understood. I shall wait accordingly.”

At Maengseong’s reply, the Dark Hidden One merely nodded silently as he turned back toward the window.

Maengseong watched his lord’s back for a moment before his figure blurred and vanished.

He did not wish to disturb his lord’s contemplation any further.

Left alone, the Dark Hidden One’s small shoulders looked unbearably heavy.

The moment the Guardian Venerable’s Message Hawk arrived at the Bright Cult, Yul Han burst out.

Even the Cult Leader, who learned the contents of the message only after Iron Demon came running while shouting in joy, could not hide his delighted expression.

The contents carried by the Message Hawk were enough to warrant such reactions.

<We have received a report that individuals presumed to be Profound Demon and the Ice Heaven Blade King have been discovered at Crescent Moon Spring in Gansu.>

“I wish to follow him. Please permit it, Cult Leader.”

At Iron Demon’s request, the Cult Leader shook his head.

“Hani already went. At the Vice Cult Leader’s speed, even Iron Demon won’t compare. By the time you arrive, the Vice Cult Leader will probably already be returning with them. So stop thinking about following and summon Poison Demon instead.”

“Poison Demon?”

“Yes. It said Profound Demon suffered grave injuries the last time he was seen, so he’ll be useful.”

Only then did Iron Demon recall that both of Profound Demon’s hands had been severed, and with a hardened face he hurriedly moved.

He intended to inform Poison Demon and prepare him.

Iron Demon’s abrupt departure without even offering a farewell violated proper etiquette, yet the Cult Leader said nothing.

Because he knew the surviving Five Demons had been suffering mentally just as much as Yul Han during all this time.

The Blood Sword Unit Commander watched the Cult Leader with a gentle gaze.

The Cult Leader probably did not realize it.

In the past, Iron Demon would have been dragged back and beaten half to death.

The former Cult Leader had not been someone tolerant of such behavior.

The Blood Sword Unit Commander did not dislike how the Cult Leader had changed.

A superior who understood his subordinates had quite a respectable side to him.

‘Perhaps I should reflect on myself as well.’

Seeing the Cult Leader’s conduct made the Blood Sword Unit Commander reflect upon how he himself treated the members beneath him in the Blood Sword Unit.

---

Half a Gak.

That was the amount of time that had passed since Yul Han departed from the Bright Cult.

Within that brief span, Yul Han appeared at Crescent Moon Spring in Gansu.

Anyone who witnessed it would have called it impossible, yet Yul Han’s mind was occupied by no such matters.

What greeted him as he hurried toward Crescent Moon Pavilion was Dodam, the Missionary Officer responsible for the Dunhuang region.

“V-V-Vice Cult Leader!”

To the believers, if the Cult Leader was the heavens above, then the Vice Cult Leader was the earth that embraced them.

There were no believers who did not know that the Bright Cult’s current methods of missionary work and its newfound emphasis on believers all originated from the Vice Cult Leader.

At every assembly officiated by the Guardian Venerable, praises of the Vice Cult Leader were never omitted.

And perhaps because of that influence, even the Instructors responsible for missionary work in each region always made sure to praise the Vice Cult Leader during every gathering.

Furthermore, people might not know the Cult Leader’s face, but there was no way they would not recognize the Vice Cult Leader’s.

Portraits of the Vice Cult Leader had spread throughout the Jianghu and eventually even throughout ordinary society.

Interestingly enough, among the common folk there had emerged a belief that carrying a portrait of the Vice Cult Leader protected one from suffering violence at the hands of Jianghu martial artists.

That tendency had deepened after merchants who had fallen victim to bandits were released safely simply because they possessed portraits of the Vice Cult Leader.

Of course, their valuables were stolen, but at least they escaped without losing their lives or suffering injury.

Then again, even bandits probably felt uneasy about killing people carrying portraits of the Vice Cult Leader.

As such rumors piled up, stories had now spread claiming the portraits could even ward off tiger attacks and smallpox.

That was why Dodam recognized the Vice Cult Leader instantly despite never meeting him before.

Quite a few believers under his care possessed portraits of the Vice Cult Leader themselves.

Of course, from Yul Han’s perspective, the situation was somewhat different.

He had no idea who this person recognizing him was.

After all, it was someone he had clearly never seen before.

“Who……?”

“I am Dodam, Missionary Officer in charge of the Dunhuang Cult District.”

Yul Han immediately seized the deeply bowing Dodam’s hands.

“You have worked hard. I should praise you and meet the believers, but I came because I heard something of utmost importance…….”

“Ah! If you mean those people, please come this way.”

The place Dodam guided Yul Han toward was not the shed, but inside the guesthouse itself.

Following Dodam with trembling eyes, Yul Han stepped into the guesthouse, only for his steps to halt.

They were there.

The very people he had searched for like a madman.

“Profound Demon, Ice Heaven Blade King…….”

At Yul Han’s voice, thick with emotion, the two sitting vacantly among the others slowly turned their heads.

But their hollow eyes held no trace of awareness.

Only the desolate aura of those who had already abandoned the will to live remained within them.

And soon, their gazes drifted away once more.

It was as though they did not recognize Yul Han at all.

As Yul Han stood there in shock, Dodam hurriedly explained,

“We summoned a physician from Dunhuang to examine them, and he said they have lost their internal energy completely and are also suffering from memory loss. We received herbal prescriptions and have been giving them medicine, but there has been no improvement yet…….”

Dodam’s voice trailed away.

Because Yul Han had suddenly strode forward and embraced both Profound Demon and the Ice Heaven Blade King tightly.

“How did you end up like this…… no, no. It’s enough. As long as you are alive, that is enough. Everything else can be regained. Yes, I will help you regain it. I promise. I, I definitely will…….”

Seeing tears finally stream down the Vice Cult Leader’s cheeks, Dodam’s eyes widened.

He had constantly heard from the Instructors that the Vice Cult Leader was broad-minded and deep-hearted, yet the Vice Cult Leader spoken of in worldly rumors was a terrifying figure.

Someone who could split mountains and seas apart with a single strike.

Why else would his title be Salyejin Tianhuang?

Yet such a man was now shedding tears at the sight of his subordinates found in such terrible conditions.

At the sight, not only Dodam but all the believers within the guesthouse looked utterly astonished.

The Vice Cult Leader departed.

Despite clearly being pressed for time, he spent considerable effort personally visiting and comforting every believer staying at Crescent Moon Pavilion, meeting the eyes of the children and answering their questions before finally leaving.

Rather than some mighty martial artist renowned throughout the Jianghu, he resembled a kindhearted young man from the neighboring village.

Though his expression remained cold and his eyes fierce like a tiger’s, every word and action revealed the kind of person he truly was.

Perhaps because of that, the children who initially only watched him cautiously were waving and shouting, “Bye-bye, big brother!” by the time he departed.

After the Vice Cult Leader left, two heavy gold pieces remained behind.

It was everything Yul Han had been carrying.

Even that money had been carefully saved coin by coin so he could one day buy Namgung Hee-yeon a pretty ornament.

To the impoverished Bright Cult believers of Dunhuang, it was wealth worth a thousand gold.

It became yet another reason for praise toward the Vice Cult Leader to grow even greater.

The moment Yul Han returned with Profound Demon and the Ice Heaven Blade King, the waiting Poison Demon immediately transferred them to the Medical Unit.

He intended to conduct thorough examinations and treatment.

Only half a day after they were moved to the Medical Unit, a precise diagnosis emerged.

“It is true that they completely lost their internal energy, and it is also true they suffer from memory loss. The physician diagnosed them correctly. However, the prescriptions they had been given before could only slow the deterioration, not cure them, so I changed the prescription.”

At Poison Demon’s words, Yul Han spoke.

“I trust Poison Demon to handle the prescriptions appropriately. The issue is why they ended up like this.”

“It is unclear, but it appears someone tampered with them.”

“Tampered with them?”

“We discovered numerous traces of injuries different from those observed when our side last found them. Most likely…….”

Poison Demon halted there.

Yul Han immediately stepped closer.

It was a silent demand for him to continue quickly.

And so Poison Demon resumed his explanation.
