Trash of the Count's Family

The path to the inn was quite peaceful.

At least Cale thought that way.

However, the two groups that came with him felt differently.

‘What kind of martial arts is that?’

‘Wind gathers around his ankles?’

The young martial artists continued to look toward Cale while thinking about the ‘wind’ that had gathered around their ankles.

It seemed not right to call it martial arts.

It didn’t feel as if any form of walking, nor foot technique, existed within it.

However, they had moved quite quickly.

‘It definitely seems like a foot technique.’

Monk Jeong Hye attentively looked at Cale’s back.

“The preparations are completed, young master Kim.”

The old man named Wi commented and young master Kim stood up before raising his hand.

Something that resembled black smoke then spread out with him at the center, causing whirlwinds to appear around the ankles of some of his guards.

They had appeared around young master Kim’s ankles as well.

‘It is not death arts.’

He had slightly flinched at first after seeing that black aura.

However, a sense of evil could not be felt from that aura at all.

People who were only at low levels of martial arts might get suspicious after seeing the color, but nobody here had martial arts at such low levels.

In fact, as a Buddhist, he had felt it.

‘…It was clean.’

That refreshing aura made him think of Buddhism or Taoism.

The aura felt as clear as if it was carrying the essence of the Orthodox faction.

Furthermore, that black aura had only appeared for a moment but made him think of nature.

‘That young master Kim’s power seems purer than anybody else’s.’

It resembled the dignified nature.

Jeong Hye peeked to the side.

‘This guy must know that as well for him to remain calm like this.’

The person who had thrown a dagger toward Cale’s group in the beginning…

He was a member of the Martial Arts Alliance. He had not revealed his identity to Cale nor Jeong Hye’s group.

‘Elder Ho seems to know who it is though.’

Only someone at the level of the Beggars’ Gang’s Elder could know the identity of this dagger-using person.

However, Jeong Hye was not very curious about this person’s identity.

What he was curious about was…

‘Young master Kim.’

The martial arts of this person and his people.

This was probably true for not just him but for all of the rising stars here with them.

‘What the hell are their martial arts?’

However, one of the rising stars…

The Kunlun Sect’s daoshi Un Seon… She slowly lowered her head to look down at her palm.

Her hand was covered in sweat.

She stealthily looked toward Dokgo Chang and Elder Ho. Elder Ho was smiling brightly while walking next to the Fist King and young master Kim, but…

Dokgo Chang was silent with the Dokgo Clan’s young clan leader trailing behind him.

‘He knows.’

Unlike the Dokgo young clan leader, and the other rising stars who were curious… Dokgo Chang knew.

He knew the identity of the aura this young master Kim had released.

‘It is nature.’

The power he used was nature itself.

There had not been a single speck of internal ki within it.

Un Seon recalled when he had used the power.

All of the power had started around him.

However, he did not even use a little bit of the internal ki that should be inside his body.

What would that mean?

‘Little Seon. What is beyond the Unrestrained Realm?’

‘It is the Profound Realm.’

‘Yes, the Profound Realm places experts at a different level. Even the title of expert might not be enough for them as they are able to control powers beyond that of humans.’

‘Yes, master.’

‘Then do you know what is beyond the Profound Realm?’

‘…I know it to be the Nature Realm. But master… Isn’t that realm just a myth?’

‘No. The Nature Realm does exist. The Sword Emperor is suspected of being in the Nature Realm.’

Un Seon had once met someone who had taken a small step into the Profound Realm while she was with her master.

Her master had whispered to her.
