Chapter 58. The Power of a Dragon’s Pearl (2/2)
‘Eh?’
At the same time, his legs lost strength, and the sound around him disappeared completely.
When he started to stumble and fall, Un Hui appeared and grabbed him before he fell on the floor.
“Young master?”
“…….”
Everything was out of focus. Un Hui’s face hardened as he shook Cho Ryu Hyang, but Cho Ryu Hyang failed to regain his senses.
Un Hui’s face began to harden even more. He quickly took Cho Ryu Hyang’s pulse, and found that Cho Ryu Hyang’s pulses were extremely faint.
‘Just what is…….’
Un Hui’s senses were all warning him of danger. Cho Ryu Hyang was in that much danger. Cho Ryu Hyang’s breathing became shallow, and his body was sprawled out like a corpse.
Not only that, Cho Ryu Hyang’s pink face lost its color as the whole body started to turn pale. Un Hui was assaulted with a feeling of agitation.
“Young master! Young master!”
No matter how much he called, Cho Ryu Hyang wouldn’t wake. Un Hui regained his senses after noticing his master’s face turning blue.
He began to move like lightning. He was carrying Cho Ryu Hyang to the medicinal house.

Bam—!
The medicinal house was one of the more important departments in the church. Because of this, the medicinal house was guarded heavily, and the guards stationed there all had considerable strength.
But of course, these people were only strong to normal people. Against a harmonious expert charging at them like a bull, even these guards wouldn’t know what to do.
“Move!”
“Halt!”
After finding a martial artist of immense strength charging at the medicinal house, twenty guards gathered at the gates. Upon seeing this, Un Hui’s eyes grew cold.
“Move, or die.”
“……!”
Un Hui felt extremely hurried at the moment. That was because Cho Ryu Hyang’s breathing kept on getting even shallower.
’There’s no time.’
Was it because of his anxiousness? Un Hui’s body began to emit even more killing intent than usual. The intense killing intent emitted by Un Hui was so strong, that it was enough to make the peak experts guarding the medicinal house almost piss themselves in fear.
‘A harmonious expert!’
The experts at the medicinal house prepared themselves for battle. Even if the enemy was a harmonious expert, they could not run. They had to guard this place with their life.
That was their mission.
‘He’s coming.’
Just when the experts’ faces filled with dread, the gates of the medicinal house opened, and a voice came from the inside of the building.
“Don’t block him. He’s a person I know.”
“Sir!”
“Che, there’s no need to make a fuss about all this. Why did you come here this early in the morning?”
Doctor Sunwu Jo Duk. Thankfully, this man was a person who had met Un Hui several times in the past. Because he could recognise Un Hui’s aura, he could come out in time.
Sunwu Jo Duk frowned when he saw Un Hui approaching him without any explanation or greeting. He could see how anxious Un Hui was.
“Calm down, boy. I can only help you after you tell me why you came here.”
Un Hui just stretched out his arms with something on it. There was a boy who resembled a corpse on his arms.
“It’s the young master.”
Sunwu Jo Duk’s relaxed smile faded when he heard Un Hui’s words.
“What?”
“It’s the young master.”
Sunwu Jo Duk, as if he finally understood what was going on, took Cho Ryu Hyang in his arms. He quickly touched Cho Ryu Hyang’s vein, and his face hardened. Cho Ryu Hyang almost had no pulse.
“…….What the hell were you doing while the young master got to this state?”
“……..”
Un Hui couldn’t say anything. When Sunwu Jo Duk saw this, his body trembled in rage. He looked at Un Hui with a gaze that could kill, and said something in a low voice.
“If something happens to the young master, I’ll kill you ten times over.”
Un Hui looked down with eyes filled with complex feelings. He, too, didn’t know what happened.
But he couldn’t say anything in retort. He was clearly right next to Cho Ryu Hyang, and yet couldn’t do anything to save his master.
‘I’m useless.’
While Un Hui’s eyes filled with self-loathe, Sunwu Jo Duk took out a giant needle. He was using his precious Life-death Golden Needle.
Sunwu Jo Duk quickly pierced Cho Ryu Hyang’s right pinky with that needle.
Puu—!
When he pulled the needle back out, black blood streamed out of Cho Ryu Hyang’s finger. Sunwu Jo Duk observed this as he wiped sweat from his brows.
“…….Someone go alert the Pope.”
“Ah, yes sir.”
Few of the experts at the gate disappeared, as Sunwu Jo Duk quickly carried Cho Ryu Hyang inside the medicinal building.
He then commanded his subordinates to bring several precious medicine as he lay Cho Ryu Hyang down on the bed.
‘I must save him.’
This was a precious heir to the church. They couldn’t lose someone like this in a silly accident like this.
Sunwu Jo Duk grit his teeth, pulled up his sleeves, and lifted the Life-Death Golden Needle. He was prepared to use all the medical skill he gathered over the ages on Cho Ryu Hyang.
