Chapter 20: A Disaster About to Happen

****

Chen Won Ryuh was shaken from her defeat and Cheon Mujin's threat. She initially thought it was a bluff, but she felt something inside her energy core moving around chaotically.

She focused on that and saw a murky gray substance floating around her energy, like dirty water in a pristine lake.

She considered her options. First, asking someone for help, but she knew that would be impossible. Cheon Mujin had demonstrated his power during the fight, and she knew there was more to it. Moreover, the poison inside her could kill her, and if what Cheon Mujin said was true, he was her only hope.

Second, fighting Cheon Mujin, which was impossible, and third, surrendering to his demand.

She was slowly being drawn into despair. Not only did she lose, but she was also put in a dilemma, a poisonous dilemma.

Seeing that there was nothing she could do, she made the most logical conclusion, which was complying with his demands, even though it was the hardest for her, given her pride.

She had grown up within the Sound Clan, one of the Six Clans that ruled the Sky Demon Order, aside from the Lord. Her ego was sky-high, yet here she was, subjected to such humiliation, and from her own brother, nonetheless.

Group 9 Quarters: Midnight.

Almost everyone was out celebrating their victory. Though their victory was largely due to Cheon Mujin, it was still worth celebrating.

"I'm going back to my quarters to rest. You guys enjoy the night," Cheon Mujin said to his group members, to which they responded with a vigorous nod.

"Mado!" He nodded at them and returned to his headquarters, where he saw a young woman with red hair waiting for him with a piercing glare of anger.

"You're really eager, aren't you?" Cheon Mujin jokingly said, to which she growled in response.

"What do you want from me?" She growled in anger.

Even though she was defeated and poisoned, she was still the heir of the Sound Clan, one of the Six clans that overlorded the Sky Demon Order.

"Come inside first," Cheon Mujin said with a smile.

Cheon Won Ryuh helplessly complied and entered his private quarters. Upon entering, Cheon Mujin took a seat and looked at her with his disturbing, string-like eyes. Despite having the upper hand, Cheon Mujin still felt annoyed due to Cheon Won Ryuh's determined and arrogant gaze.

So he dropped a bomb on her.

"I will explain first what poison I used so that you can understand the seriousness of your situation."

"The poison I used is a personal concoction I named Energy Removal Poison. It's a poison that, if not cured early, can destroy the energy core of a martial artist."

When Cheon Mujin dropped the bomb, Cheon Won Ryuh's persistent glare was replaced by fear.

If there is one thing that a martial artist fears the most, it's having their energy removed.

Neigong/internal energy/qi is the most essential part of being a martial artist. Remove it from them, and they're no longer a martial artist. It is their magnum opus, their bloodline, and lifeline. There is nothing more despairing for a martial artist than having their energy core destroyed.

But Cheon Won Ryuh thought it was impossible for Cheon Mujin to create such a poison.

It's a poison so advanced and so mythical that there is no way Cheon Mujin can create it, or so she thinks.

"It seems you don't believe me much," chuckled Cheon Mujin, then he snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, Cheon Won Ryuh felt intense pain, as if thousands of sharp insects were running around chaotically inside her stomach. She fell to the floor, writhing in pain, her hands clawing the floor.

Cheon Mujin waved his hands, erecting an energy barrier to prevent any sound from escaping his quarters.

"Arrghhhhh!" She screamed.

Seeing her reaction of pain, Cheon Mujin snapped his fingers again, stopping the onslaught of agony.

Then suddenly, she gasped in shock. Her face paled, and her hands trembled alongside her lips from disbelief.

"No! No! No! Nooo!!! Please!!" She screamed in despair. Her reaction was intense because her internal energy had been halved.

Cheon Mujin asked with a playful smile while chuckling, "Is that enough proof?"

Cheon Won Ryuh looked at him with sunken eyes and asked, "What do you want from me? What have I done against you?" She asked with a mix of anger, despair, and pain.

Looking at her pitiful figure kneeling on the ground, Cheon Mujin smiled in satisfaction and grabbed her face, swaying it left and right, observing her beautiful face. Then he said, "Do you really want to hear my demands?" Cheon Won Ryuh, not wanting to feel the despair she felt earlier, nodded her head pitifully.

"Pleasure me."
