Chapter 94
0094 : Dark Heaven Village
Following the figure who identified himself as the Twelfth Righteous Master, I entered Dark Heaven Village. As we walked in, the Twelfth Righteous Master spoke.
“I apologize for the fog. It’s due to the formation.”
True to his words, bridges resembling spider webs connected the cliffs all around, and in the center of the village stood a colossal tree that seemed on the verge of touching the sky. The human presence was almost nonexistent, rendering the scene somewhat eerie.
Though the Twelfth Righteous Master treated me casually, I couldn’t muster the thought to respond in kind. He was an absolute being whom even the King of Goryeo could not address lightly. It felt entirely natural for me to use honorific speech. In fact, he was likely older than me.
Occasionally, passersby greeted the Twelfth Righteous Master. They wore normal clothing instead of costumes, though some of them did don masks.
“Time to repay your debt.”
“I don’t have it.”
“Is that your way of telling me to go to hell?”
