Chapter 42 — Dropped into Murim with an Instant Kill Skill

Chapter 42

Following the battle, Yi Yubaek explains to Yeon So-wol that Eun-yeong ruptured her Eight Extraordinary Vessels using an assassin's art to release innate true qi, granting her immense power at the cost of certain death. Yeon So-wol observes Eun-yeong’s lifeless, flushed form. Mo Cheong covers her with his robe to protect her from the heat and places a dried flower petal on her chest, admitting he was just beginning to develop feelings for her. Yi Yubaek then covers Eun-yeong with his own robe, wipes her face, and prepares to transport her to Cheongun Pavilion. Yeon So-wol, Mo Cheong, Kang Mu-hyeok, and Seon Je-hun follow Yi Yubaek as he requests transport. Along the way, they encounter Hang In-woo and the White Dragon Gang. Yi Yubaek confirms he killed all Black Path fighters, including Seo Mu-ryang. Hang In-woo expresses concern for Yi Yubaek’s internal injuries, offering medicine, but Yi Yubaek dismisses him after confirming the Elder Brother is safe. Hang In-woo departs to visit his friend, while Yi Yubaek leads the group toward Cheongun Pavilion. Upon arrival, public opinion in Shinheung County is celebratory due to the eradication of the Black Path, which has improved safety and commerce. Rumors spread that Yi Yubaek’s actions pave the way for the subjugation of Heavenly Road Mountain. Meanwhile, Yeon So-wol’s martial skills improve rapidly under Yi Yubaek’s supervision, and his memories of killing and death begin to fade into emptiness. While returning from errands, Yeon So-wol encounters gossipers discussing Cho-ran’s impending marriage as a concubine to a wealthy man named Wang. They reveal she can no longer bear children and that Wang promised memorial rites for her deceased sister in exchange for her agreement. Yeon So-wol confronts the gossipers, intimidating them into fleeing. He proceeds into the quiet Cheongun Pavilion, where Cho-ran sits alone in white and red, wearing a red sachet. He asks if she needs help, but she claims she is fine, asserting that such arrangements are normal. As Yeon So-wol withdraws, he overhears her faint murmur and reflects on a poem, feeling a profound sense of sorrow and confusion as he walks away alone.
