However, he did not have much time to think about the spy from the Blood Cult.

“Young master-nim-!”

The Left Guard, who had approached him at some point, had a desperate look on his face while looking at Cale. He didn’t even have the time to wonder how such an expression could come from such a stoic face.

Cale immediately opened his mouth.

“Figure out who it is!”

The people around him looked confused but Cale heard Raon’s voice in his mind.

– I got it, human!

Cale listened to Raon as he gave the Sage Demon an order.

“Move everybody back!”

“Kruuuuuu-”

The Heavenly Demon was staggering and releasing even more black smoke as that happened.

“Yes sir!”

The Sage Demon understood that Cale was telling him to move people away from the dead mana smoke. He had already recognized that issue as well.

“Everybody move back! And please cover your mouths!”

“Chief Advisor, what is going on?”

An uptight looking old woman walked over with a giant scowl on her face. It was the Pavilion Master of the Law and Etiquette Pavilion.

“Pavilion Master Gong-nim, let us discuss this later.”

Pavilion Master Gong scowled after seeing that the Sage Demon’s usual warm look was replaced with sternness. However, she slammed the cane in her hand on the ground.

Tang-!

The clear sound echoed throughout the pavilion.

Pavilion Master Gong started speaking once everybody’s attention was on her.

“The rule for a situation like this is to follow the Chief Advisor’s orders! Why are you all acting so disordered?!”

She then walked out of the pavilion first and stood at a spot a bit away.

Her movement was so mysterious that it made it possible to fathom the level of her martial arts.

The other Pavilion Masters, the Leaders of the Eight Battalions, and the four candidates all used their own methods to withdraw from the pavilion and formed a ring around it.

The Sage Demon saw this and slightly smiled toward Pavilion Master Gong who snorted and avoided his gaze.

However, she did send him a sound transmission.

– Is the Heavenly Demon in critical condition?

As expected, Pavilion Master Gong cherished the Heavenly Demon.

To the Sage Demon who could sense that…

– I do not know what is going on, but I will need a thorough explanation about this! This is extremely against all etiquette!

He slightly frowned after hearing her nagging.

However, he did not have time to listen to her.

“Ugggh-”

The Heavenly Demon was different.

He was groaning worse than normal.

It was a bit different from what the Sage Demon had seen until now.

The Heavenly Demon’s whole body was shaking and black smoke was even coming out of his closed eyes.

‘Had he been hiding this the whole time?’

The Sage Demon had not been able to see the Heavenly Demon inside the pavilion because of the formations and the black smoke.

He subconsciously started feeling anxious.

It was at that moment.

“What are you doing?”

He heard a slightly feisty voice.

“Excuse me?”

He made eye contact with young master Kim.

“Please step back.”

He said that to the Sage Demon and the Guards before grabbing the Heavenly Demon’s arm.

“Are you not going? It’s going to be very bad if you breathe in this black smoke.”

The Sage Demon wanted to say that he would still be by the Heavenly Demon’s side. However, he snapped back to his senses after feeling the aura coming from young master Kim.

It was a pressure that made him feel a decent level of anxiety and suffocation. He returned to his senses after facing that aura.

“…I leave it to you, young master-nim.”

The Sage Demon then withdrew to where the others were standing.

The Left and Right Guards bowed after sensing young master Kim’s aura slowly getting stronger.

“We will be a bit closer.”

“Please do not worry as we will avoid the smoke.”

The Right Guard and Left Guard responded one after the other before withdrawing to a point halfway between the pavilion and the people. They raised their aura as if to prevent people from approaching.

As the whispers disappeared because of their vicious auras….

Cale finally felt that the area around the Pavilion was quiet and started speaking.

“Can you hear me?”

The moment he asked that, the Heavenly Demon, who had not been pushing aside Cale’s hand, barely managed to open his eyes.

The areas of his eyes that should have been white were full of black blood veins.

Cale looked into those eyes and nonchalantly commented.

“Keep a firm control over your mind. I will make the black smoke subside.”
