he had used when saving Cheon Suhye before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been told he could use it a total of three times, so there were two times left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baek Yoonjun of that time seemed to have become a completely different person, even to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a state, he might be able to find a better idea than his current thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As that thought came to him, Baek Yoonjun engaged the bolt of his heart without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An intangible bolt firmly locked Baek Yoonjun's mind-image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After engaging the bolt of his heart, Baek Yoonjun could understand why the man of that time had said he could use the bolt three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's tattered.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the bolt did not actually exist, Baek Yoonjun could tell that the bolt engaged in his heart was more tattered than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'First, let's do what needs to be done.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baek Yoonjun with the engaged bolt felt all the idle thoughts and emotions in his head being washed away and quietly turned his eyes towards the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Fire... the situation is different, but it's not that different from when I turned Sister Suhye back into a person.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baek Yoonjun with the engaged bolt, unlike usual, calmly brought his hand to the hilt of the Black Iron Dark Night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the useless idle thoughts and worries that always came to mind had been washed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More quietly than ever before, the Black Iron Dark Night was slowly drawn from its scabbard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What needs to be cut is not the visible fire, but the concept of fire itself.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time as the Heart Sword and Baek Yoonjun completely became one, the Black Iron Dark Night that had come out of its scabbard flashed for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no fierce wind, no flashing brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as if the word 'fire' had been erased from the world, the fierce demon of fire disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the place where the flames had disappeared, there was not even the smoke that was a trace of combustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire around him, all of it, disappeared in an instant, as if its existence itself was not tolerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fire...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's gone...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silence flowed for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the martial artists of the alliance, the monks, and the beggars could only stare blankly at the traces of the fire that had disappeared like a mirage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of an impossible, incomprehensible event, a person's thoughts were bound to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'As expected, it's the same as before.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baek Yoonjun who had caused such a thing, however, nonchalantly sheathed the Black Iron Dark Night and moved his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no one who dared to block such a Baek Yoonjun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baek Yoonjun walked through the middle of the battlefield as if he were taking a walk and arrived at the main gate a moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no big reason why he had moved his feet in that direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that a gentle breeze with a nostalgic feeling was blowing slowly towards the main gate, so he had just moved his feet along with the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Namgung Jehyun stared blankly at Shaolin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What on earth is happening?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until just now, people had been flying in the sky like birds, and after that, the flames that had been burning Shaolin had disappeared in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of a phenomenon he could not understand at all, he could only stare blankly at the main gate of Shaolin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, at the main gate that Namgung Jehyun was staring at blankly, a man appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man with white hair, in a white robe, with a jet-black sword at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a man with an appearance that imitated the White-Robed Sword Immortal of the past, which could often be seen in the marketplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Namgung Jehyun could not take his eyes off the man's appearance, from which he could not even feel any internal energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He's not a martial artist. Then is he just a worthless commoner? No, that's not it either.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the man's appearance, from which he could not feel anything, Namgung Jehyun's head became crazily confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no internal energy, and he could not see any trace of having learned martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he looked like a worthless commoner, it didn't seem that was it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Is he even a person?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had to express that being, which didn't even seem to be a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wind.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Namgung Jehyun felt the man in front of him was the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No? What am I thinking?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Namgung Jehyun realized that he had been lost in thought for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold sweat ran down the back of his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He's a dangerous person. I don't know why, but he's a dangerous being. I have to move first!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a thought that if he did nothing, it would be irreversible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Namgung Jehyun tried to forcibly move his unmoving legs, and at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you do it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in white, who had been far away, was standing in front of Namgung Jehyun as if it were natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'When on earth!?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the impossible event, Namgung Jehyun blinked his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the moment he blinked his eyes, the surrounding scenery had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until just now, he had clearly been at the main gate of Shaolin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The sky?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, around him, only a vast sky was spread out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this strange...?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belatedly, Namgung Jehyun scanned his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a blue sky was spread out vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keuk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time as he realized he was in the sky, a heavy pain rose in his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When on earth...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling of a question was only for a very short moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Namgung Jehyun fell down in an instant and rolled ungracefully on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keoheuk! Keuk!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the midst of the confusion of what on earth had happened, Namgung Jehyun, who had barely collected his senses, quickly scanned his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... place is below Mount Song...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had clearly been near the main gate of Shaolin, for some reason, he was now below Mount Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place was one thing, but the heavy pain he felt in his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'When on earth was I hit?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Namgung Jehyun could finally deduce his own situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how he thought about it, the only conclusion was that he had been hit by the white-haired man from before and had flown all the way here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't seen it, and he hadn't felt it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Under the influence of the Wu Hou's Eight Gates Formation Diagram, except for the martial artists of the alliance, internal energy should have been sealed, so how?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As that thought came to him, Namgung Jehyun felt the hair on his whole body stand on end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!
