Chapter: 1557
He flipped the doll in his hand back and forth, satisfied with his workmanship.
Thump!
Heuk-ho tossed the newly-made doll onto one side of the room.
There were quite a few other dolls in the room, besides the one he just made.
They were all things made by Heuk-ho himself.
There were also talismans carved on the backs of the other dolls.
Those talismans were in no way ordinary.
It was thanks to those talismans that Heuk-ho could control those dolls from a distance.
In his youth, he learned how to use talismans from a Taoist master.
The taoist claimed that he was a member of the Maoshan Sect.1
Nowadays, when people think of Taoist experts, many think of people who belong to martial arts sects such as the Wudang and the Mount Hua sect, but in the past, there were many Taoists who specialized in alchemy2 like the Maoshan sect.��
However, as Taoist sects in the form of religious organizations gained power, Taoists who used alchemy like the Maoshan School naturally declined.
In an attempt to overcome the unreasonable reality, some sects aligned themselves with forces that created confusion in Jianghu, like the Celestial Demon Union. But, this only worsened their collapse, and the way people looked at them grew colder.
Such was the case with the master of the Maoshan sect, who had taught Heuk-ho the art of puppetry. He hid out from the public eye since he was extremely afraid of showing himself out in the open.�
Heuk-ho had no talent in other alchemy related techniques. He only boasted a talent for the art of puppetry. So while he did not understand any other aspects of alchemy, he learned and mastered the art of puppetry like it was his own.�
There were occasional cases like this.
A person whose talent specialized in only one particular area.
Heuk-ho was such a case.
He absorbed the art of puppetry taught to him by the master of the Maoshan sect with frightening ease.
But even if the Taoist master was the one who taught him the art of puppetry, he still insisted that Heuk-ho should refrain from using it too often. His reason being was the possibility of attracting the attention of Jianghu. Alchemy was too unconventional of a skill that could easily lead him to being accused of wrongdoing.
After that, the Taoist master suddenly disappeared, and Heuk-ho became an assassin after meeting another master. He was recognized for his ability and was recruited into the Hundred Wraith Union.�
The combination of his puppetry and assassination skills made him one of the Ten Blood Assassins in the Hundred Wraith Union.�
Until now, he has never failed a mission.
No matter who his target was, they would not survive.
Heuk-ho prided himself as strong.
No client dared to disrespect him, and he never let them down.
But that pride was shattered this time.
Lee Yul treated him like a failure, and even looked at him like he was a problem child.
�You underestimated me too much�
Heul-ho bared his teeth and laughed. JrNovels.com
