Revelation Of The Hidden Story (2)

This wasn’t an easy situation.

More than a hundred monks were already surrounding the area, and their numbers were increasing.

At that time, as Yu Jinsan looked for a way out, a young newbie monk pointed his finger and shouted.

“Master, that guy is part of it too!”

It was that meddling kid. As soon as his blood points were released, he was meddling again. He wanted to run over and smack him on the head right away.

Then, a monk glanced between Yu Jinsan and Yu Seol and announced as if he had remembered something.

“You evil beings! You must be the Yin and Yang Monsters!”

Since Shaolin likely had its own information network, it wasn’t surprising that they knew their identities. Nonetheless, in the current situation, such details are unimportant.

“Can you break through?”

Yu Seol hesitated before answering.

“… I can try.”

It was the first time he had seen his granddaughter look so uncertain.

Of course, that was to be expected.

Who could feel confident before the 108 Arhats and their formidable defense circle?

The defense circle formed by the 108 Arhat monks was one of the strongest martial arts techniques, capable of making even the most formidable warrior feel weak.

“It will not be easy. I can distract them while you escape.”

“… Grandpa.”

Just as Yu Jinsan was about to speak, his granddaughter grabbed his clothes and yanked him aside.

“…?”

Yu Jinsan, pushed back a foot by the sudden force, was confused.

Her expression was tense.

What had Yu Seol seen to make her so nervous?

Without thinking, Yu Jinsan turned and felt goosebumps rise.

He had been standing at the entrance to the Repentance Cave just a moment ago. An old man with white hair flowing down was now walking out.

Step.

One step.

And then another.

With each step he took, a terrible demonic qi swirled around him.

The Great Warrior of the Demonic Cult, the Blood Infernal Divine Demon, a Supreme Demon warrior, had managed to break free from his shackles.

“The Blood Infernal Divine Demon has escaped!”

“This cannot be…”

The Arhat monks with deep training didn’t even flinch, but those monks with weaker internal qi showed signs of agitation.

Then, a high-ranking monk stepped forward and shouted.

“Don’t be afraid! No demonic being can escape from here today!”

It was Monk Hye Un, whom they had seen at the training hall.

The Blood Infernal Divine Demon glared at him and gritted his teeth. It seemed like quite a bit of anger had built up in the Repentance Cave.

“… I will kill all of you damned bastards today.”

“You bastard! How dare you make a fuss, knowing what this place is?”

Monk Hye Un had no reason to be afraid. This was the deepest repentance hall in the Shaolin Temple.

There were thousands of monks who had learned martial arts at their temples. Even if the leader of the Demonic Cult, and not just a great guardian, had come, nothing would have changed.

Of course, he knew that too.

Contrary to his fierce appearance, he was whispering to Yu Seol in a low voice.

“Great Warrior. Even though the defense circle is considered to be the best, if the two of us join forces, we can break through it.”

Was it because an expert warrior recognized another expert warrior?

Yu Jinsan looked shocked at this man’s attitude.

The legendary warrior of the Demonic Cult, known as a great warrior, was now proposing cooperation. This was the same man who had been informally talking to Yu Jinsan just a moment ago.

He didn’t like it, but what could he do now? The man wasn’t even looking at him.

“I understand.”

‘You understand?’

He couldn’t believe the little child had agreed without even asking for her grandfather’s permission. It seemed she had made her own calculations.

The situation was a bit absurd, but there was no other way out.

As the atmosphere grew tense, he sent a message to his granddaughter.

-From now on, you are allowed to use the Whirlwind Spear.

At that moment, the force with which Yu Seol held the bamboo stick changed.

Both the Blood Infernal Divine Demon and the Yin Monster crouched, preparing to move.

Did they sense an unusual qi? The barrier formation thickened.

“Let us go, Great Warrior.”

“Yes!”

The two of them, standing side by side, kicked off the ground simultaneously.

Tat! Ta!

The two lightning-like streaks were indeed impressive.

Yu Jinsan sighed and followed behind them.

The two best warriors attacked together at the 108 Arhats.

Their attacks showed no mercy.

Kwakwang! Kwakwang!!

A roar that shook the land sent dozens of Arhat monks flying back.

“Euk!”

“Kuak!”

Although it seemed like they had the upper hand at first, the Arhat monks didn’t go down easily.

Other Arhat monks began to appear behind them. There was no way to dodge the numerous attacks coming from all directions.

In an instant, the bamboo stick in Yu Seol’s hand split into numerous shards, blocking the attack.

Kwakwakwang!

Behind the Yin Monster, the Blood Infernal Divine Demon, continued his attack as if he had been waiting for this moment. His hands, engulfed in red demonic qi, struck two Arhat monks mercilessly.

Swish!

“Kuak!”

“Ack!”

His movement didn’t stop there; waves of qi flowed down his body.

Rebound Enhanced Qi. A curtain of qi spread like a wave and pushed back the Arhat monks, who were closing in.

Kwakwang!!

“Now is the time, Great Warrior!”

With the man’s urgent cry, Yu Seol switched from offense to defense and charged forward.

Tat! Ta!

Yu Seol mercilessly exploited the gap in the faltering Arhat’s defenses. Her small body and swift movements made her resemble a goblin.

Yu Jinsan, observing the scene from behind, was impressed.

‘Continuous Wind Advance?’

It was the 16th form of the Whirlwind technique, a maneuver he himself had not mastered.

The sight of her shaking the bamboo stick in both hands was startling.

The Arhats continued to block their path but to no avail. They fell like autumn leaves in the wind.

Tuk! Kuak! Kuak!!

“Kuak!”

“Ack!”

Finally, the formation began to crack.

The Bloody Infernal Divine Demon did not let this opportunity slip by.

Gritting his teeth, he joined Yu Seol in a frenzied rush of attacks.

His movements were desperate; he couldn’t afford to delay any longer.

Kwakwakwakwang!!

Their goal was not to destroy the formation but to escape from it. Overexertion was unnecessary.

When a gap appeared among the 108 Arhats, the three of them dashed through without hesitation.

Tatatat!

After many twists and turns, they made it out of the yard, but the chase wasn’t over yet.

“Don’t let them escape! Hurry and catch those demonic beings!”

“Woahhhh!!”

Hundreds of monks had already assembled outside.

Their numbers seemed endless, converging from all directions.

The Bloody Infernal Divine Demon and the Yin Monster fought valiantly as they plowed through the monks.

At that moment, Yu Jinsan, who had been trailing behind, suddenly changed direction and kicked off the ground.

Tat!

He soared into the air and kicked a small monk situated among the Arhat monks.

Kuak!

“Ahh!”

The boy, struck in the side, clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground in agony.

He was the one who had interfered with them and had also exposed their identities.

“Euk, that cheeky bastard!”

Yu Jinsan, having achieved his intended goal, quickly moved behind his granddaughter without looking back.

A full-scale attack was about to begin.

“Myung Ho!”

Monk Hye Un, leading the monks from afar, called out to someone and asked,

“Yes, Great Monk!”

“Where are the Four Great Golden Strengths?”

The Four Great Golden Strengths were the four monks with the strongest martial arts among the Arhats. It was known that their techniques could overpower any warrior.

“They’ve been meditating in the Dharma Cave for about 10 days now.”

“Rush over and call them!”

“But I cannot summon them without the Abbot’s permission…”

Monk Hye Un was losing his patience.

“Do you think this is the time to be asking something like that?”

“I don’t know, but they are people who never break the rules under any circumstances.”

Hye Un continued to disapprove and expressed his discontent.

“…Amitabha.”

“I don’t think there is any need to worry. But just in case, I asked Master Hye Kwang to guard the entrance of the temple.”

Master Hye Kwang was one of the ten famous warriors and was considered the greatest when it came to martial arts in the Shaolin Temple.

Hye Un asked with a doubtful expression,

“Did Hye Kwang really move? The Sahyung that doesn’t even budge despite the Abbot’s request?”

“Right. As you know, the Master is currently practicing his meditation, so I didn’t get a clear answer, just a nod.”

“You did well. I feel a little better now.”

“Yes, now those demonic ones will never get out.”

Meanwhile, the three people who had escaped through the 108 Arhat monks were running ahead in panic and fear.

The Bloody Infernal Divine Demon, in charge of the left, grabbed the neck of the monk who was trying to attack.

Euk!

“Great Warrior, why are you taking matters into your own hands in such a long-winded way? It should be alright if you just grab their necks like this and then break them.”

Crack!

And the body went limp, which he then threw aside.

It seemed he was dissatisfied with Yu Seol, who was trying hard not to deliver a critical hit.

Tsk!

Yu Seol struck another monk on the side and then licked her lips.

“Such a pity.”

The Bloody Infernal Divine Demon snorted as if taken aback by how she fought off the monks in large numbers without seriously injuring them.

“Looking at you, you seem to be a famous demonic being. Does it make sense for you to feel sorry for these monks? Are you losing your mind after undergoing Body Reformation?”

“I didn’t undergo Body Reformation. I am still 8 years old.”

The Bloody Infernal Divine Demon couldn’t believe those words; no, he didn’t even try to.

“Judging from your martial arts skills, you seem to be about the same age as me. So why joke abou tit?”

“…It’s not a joke, though.”

The reason they were able to talk was that they now had more room. As they got closer to the temple entrance, the number of attackers significantly decreased.

But such a sight only made Yu Jinsan grow anxious.

After a while, it was time to step into the narrow street between the palace buildings.

“Stop!”

The moment he shouted, Yu Seol halted her movements.

The Bloody Infernal Divine Demon glared at them with a look of disapproval.

“We are only at a short distance from the main gate, so why stop now!”

The man who treated his granddaughter with respect was being too condescending to him. But Yu Jinsan didn’t care. He simply tried to speak his mind.

“Something doesn’t feel right, so it’s better to take another direction.”

“You’re saying there’s another way out?”

Yu Jinsan recalled what he had heard from Pung Ho. This meant that when the alarm bells rang in the temple, the entrance would be blocked. And now, enough time had passed for that to happen.

So, even if he thought about it, there was no way the main gate could be used now.

“There is another road not far from the Repentance Cave.”

He couldn’t believe they had come this far only to return to that place. And the Bloody Infernal Divine Demon responded with a shocked look.

“You are insane! I have no intention of heading back there now.”

“Then we will have to split up from here.”

The Bloody Infernal Divine Demon gave Yu Seol another shocked look. He probably wanted to convince her or leave with her.

But his expectations quickly collapsed.

“I always go where my grandpa goes!”

“Gr-great Warrior…?”

There was no time to waste.

Yu Jinsan left him behind and grabbed his granddaughter’s hand. The moment he looked back, he was certain.

There were a few monks blocking the way in front, but the situation at the rear was different.

The monks were following them, trying to chase them down. So many Arhat monks stood on the temple roofs, all just watching.

“There is no other road there. Think again.”

Yu Jinsan shook his head.

Conversely, he could have tried to persuade him, but he didn’t want to. This man constantly spoke informally to Yu Jinsan.

“I wish you luck then.”

The Bloody Infernal Divine Demon gave up and looked at the two running with pitiful eyes before turning away.

A situation where he could no longer afford to delay.

“Grandpa, just follow me.”

The number of monks blocking their path had reached close to 100.

It was a bit too much to let his granddaughter take on this task without the help of the Bloody Infernal Divine Demon.

“No, you don’t have to do that.”

“Uh?”

“Didn’t your grandpa tell you? If there is no way, then we just need to make one.”

Yu Jinsan pulled his right hand to his shoulder.

The Yu Family’s Palm Arts, the Heaven and Earth Palm Art, 8th form.

His wide-open palm struck the pavilion wall.

Kwaang!!!

A huge cloud of dust rose with a sound, and the debris scattered from it, creating a passage through the wall.

It wasn’t a large hole, but it was enough for a child to move through.

“Let’s go!”

Yu Jinsan and his granddaughter passed through the newly made hole in the wall, while the monks, who were tightening their siege, looked on in shock.

Of course, they were bound to be.

This was a place forbidden to anyone entering without permission, and those who dared had their limbs severed.

It was a sacred place where Shaolin’s martial arts were stored—the Buddhist Text Library.

“Whoa, Grandpa, look at the number of books here!”
