Chapter 148
And at midnight, the time was now two hours past the time when Baek Munsu decided to attack . At the large courtyard of the Wise Clan’s mansion, the courtyard that was as twice large as the Poison Clan’s, was filled with the smell of blood . There were countless bodies all over the place . The Poison Clan’s vengeance had started, but the result was unexpected .
“Kneel!!”
“Ugh!”
Old man with white hair made a middle-aged man fell on his knee . Man wanted to resist, but the powerful energy pressed him down easily . And as torches were lit, the man’s face was revealed . It was Baek Munsu, with both of his shoulders drenched with blood . Munsu couldn’t raise his head up as he scowled in pain .
‘Dammit… how did this happen?’
Baek Munsu gritted his teeth . At the courtyard that was lit up, all bodies had masks over their head . These were warriors from the Poison clan . Among them, were Baek Chau, Baek Munwung, and other leaders . All of them were killed . Munsu was hard to believe on what just happened .
‘Monster…!’
Baek Munsu when he was ready, ambushed the Wise Clan’s mansion immediately . He thought the Wise Clan would not be ready for any ambush from the Poison Clan . But as they snuck into the courtyard and walked in, they couldn’t find anyone . Baek Munsu then realized it was a trap and tried to retreat, but it was too late . Arrows wielding internal energy fired upon warriors of the Poison Clan and killed half of them easily . Right after that, warriors from the Wise Clan appeared and attacked them . Baek Munsu and the other warriors fought valiantly, as they were enraged with anger but the situation turned upside down with the appearance of the old man and woman with a veil over her head .
‘I can’t believe this…!’
Munsu looked up to see the middle-aged woman with a red veil over her face, cleaning her sword of sticky blood . It was Lady Mu, the first wife of the Lord . Munsu thought she was just merely the wife of Chun Yujong, but she killed Baek Chau and Baek Munwung with her own sword . It was an attack of two grandmasters, but they stood no chance . Not many in the cult knew of her true power .
“You… you hid your skill!”
“Oh, so you can still talk? I didn’t hide anything . Nor that I shown to anyone either . ”
“You dare…”
But before Munsu can finish, her sword swung, cutting off Munsu’s neck . His head fell to the ground and Mu spat on it .
“I won’t waste any more time talking with you . ”
Lady Mu’s sword then began to burn with the smell of blood boiling . All warriors of the Poison Clan had poison within their blood . As Lady Mu raised white qi over her sword, the blood began to boil and let out purple steam and turned sticky .
“It’s dirty . ”
Mu then cleaned her sword off with a cloth piece and a middle-aged man with a long beard walked up to her .
“Lady Mu, we are finished cleaning off these rats that entered our courtyard . ”
“Good . They always play under my expectations . ”
Lady Mu knew that the Poison Clan was going to ambush them . After receiving the letter that Chun Muyeon was sent to prison for being suspect of killing others, she guessed this will happen .
“I thought I can use them further… what a shame . ”
“But Lady, do you think the Blade Clan will stay quiet?”
Bu Yankang were also claimed to be killed by Chun Muyeon . Lady Mu shook her head .
“Without their elder’s order, they will never come . ”
Unlike the Poison Clan who had lost their elder, the Blade Clan still had their elder alive so they won’t be going to move without their leader’s order . It was different from the Poison Clan who had lost so much .
“Yes, sir . Then we will send someone to the academy tomorrow and retrieve the Prince and Jinyun . ”
With being a suspect of killing another cadet, Chun Muyeon and Jinyun were going to expelled anyway .
“Hmm… No . Let them be . ”
“Huh?”
“Muyeon needs to learn . ”
“But we can’t…”
“I know my kid . He became arrogant and was fell to the enemy’s trick . He needs to learn from this . I wanted to teach him that being on the Lord’s seat isn’t easy, so it’s a good opportunity . ”
The middle-aged man didn’t speak any further as he knew well Lady Mu wasn’t likely to change her decision .
“Yes, ma’am . ”
“But first, we have something to do . ”
“Order anything . ”
“Find out everything about that dirty peasant . Use every of our power to do it . I don’t care what you need . Starting from the Guard Jang, to all cadets who were expelled . Use everything . ”
“Yes, ma’am . ”
And when the middle-aged man disappeared, the old man walked up . He was worried about Lady Mu, who seemed calm, but was actually very unhappy ever since she received the letter from Chief of the Demonic Academy .
“Are you okay?”
“Of course . Hmph . He got on my back this time, so I’ll make him pay . I can’t let him be as he…”
‘He has become too dangerous . ’
She didn’t say the last part out loud . Chun Yeowun had reached the superior level and now shown the ability to make a perfect scheme . She was uncomfortable to accept that she had to deal with the Poison Clan by herself because Yeowun had played tricks on them .
‘…He’s not someone Muyeon can deal with anymore . I have to deal with him myself . ’
Her face was hidden under the red veil, but her eyes glared ominously through it .
