Trash of the Count's Family

The Blood Cult. Chief Eunuch Wi took a deep breath once those words were mentioned.

Cale stopped leaning toward the Sage Demon and leaned back against the chair at that moment.

“There are a few things I am curious about.”

He didn’t wait for the Sage Demon’s response and asked anyway.

“How did you know about the Blood Cult?”

The rumors about the Blood Cult that had started spreading lately from Cale…

The Blood Cult has been existing under the surface, they killed a member of the Namgung Clan, and the Sword Demon is a member of the Blood Cult.

These rumors were spreading like wildfire in the Martial Arts world, but the Sage Demon sounded as if he had known about the Blood Cult prior to that.

“The Heavenly Demon figured out about the Blood Cult. No.”

The Sage Demon shook his head.

“To be more accurate, he recalled it.”

Chief Eunuch Wi looked confused. The Sage Demon noticed and continued to speak.

“It looks like more explanation is needed.”

He touched the teacup and continued to speak.

“The dantian usually mentioned in the Martial Arts world is the lower dantian. It is the one around the belly button. However, there are three total dantians. I’m sure you are all aware of it, but the middle dantian is the heart and the upper dantian is the brain. The Heavenly Demon said that he was able to connect to his upper dantian on his way to reaching the Profound Realm.”

From the Peak Realm to the Transcendent Realm, and then the Unrestrained Realm and the Profound Realm…

Not everybody gained access to their upper dantian or middle dantian by reaching that realm.

The Heavenly Demon was one of the few who connected to his upper dantian.

“The Brain. Once his aura was connected to his upper dantian, he said that he was able to observe his entire body. It is not just internally looking at his body. He is able to be a separate figure observing his external body. That is when he found something.”

The Sage Demon made eye contact with Cale.

“Originally, the Heavenly Demon called this polluted internal ki.

Cale remained quiet.

He noticed this polluted internal ki in his lower dantian and his middle dantian with the heart. He noticed that this aura that was not his started from his heart and was controlling his body.”

“Ah.”

Chief Eunuch Wi let out a short gasp.

He remembered the process of purifying Namgung Tae Wi, the Namgung Clan’s living jiangshi.

‘During the purification of Namgung Tae Wi, I’m certain that his heart was grotesque and had turned black.’

It returned to its original appearance thanks to young master Kim’s purification and he resembled a person once again once young master Kim’s red cover was placed over his heart.

“…The Heavenly Demon’s judgment is quite accurate.’

The analysis the Heavenly Demon had made about his body was identical to what Chief Eunuch Wi had seen until now.

“That is why the Heavenly Demon first tried to recall where he got this polluted internal ki. He then realized that a memory of a period of time in his youth was unclear. He continuously stimulated his upper dantian to recall the memories of that time, and as a result, he was able to get a glimpse of something.”

Cale’s mouth opened.

“What did he see?”

“The sight of a black liquid being pushed into his heart.”

“Mm.”

Chief Eunuch Wi groaned.

“Furthermore, he also remembered hearing the term, Blood Demon.”

The Blood Demon was the leader of the Blood Cult.

“He gave me an order with these two things as the background. He told me to look into the Blood Demon and the Blood Cult.

“Pfft.”

The Sage Demon chuckled.

“Of course, the real Heavenly Demon asked me to do that.”

“Is there a fake Heavenly Demon?”

“Yes, young master-nim. There is. The fake Heavenly Demon continues to tell me to figure out a plan to attack the Central Plains.”

The real Heavenly Demon and the fake Heavenly Demon.

They were the same person but the Sage Demon was able to clearly distinguish between the two.

“That was why I did two things. I created a plan to attack the Central Plains. I also looked into the Blood Cult.”

The Sage Demon was still not drinking the tea and just touching the teacup.

“After about two weeks of doing that, I suddenly started hearing rumors about the Blood Cult coming from the Central Plains.”

His gaze turned toward Cale.

“It was not long after a certain young master Kim-nim appeared.”

The corners of Cale’s lips slowly went up.
