Chapter: 2085
At Gu Ja-hwang�s response, Hwang Ak-chu�s expression became serious.

He had been with Cheol Dae-jin on the battlefield for quite some time. As such, he knew better than anyone else just how excellent his martial arts were and how cunning he was.�

Although they held a similar position, Cheol Dae-jin possessed a martial prowess a few levels higher than his and was therefore entrusted with external tasks.

�Things will just be a little delayed. Don�t worry too much. Dae-jin is not someone who would easily be defeated.��

�Is that so?�

�He�s like a demon. You can trust him.�

\�Hmm!�

At Hwang Ak-chu�s words, Gu Ja-hwang�s expression eased a little.

Although his martial arts weren�t exceptional, Hwang Ak-chu had a knack for making people feel at ease. He also had excellent leadership skills, so Gu Ja-hwang assigned him to manage internal affairs while Cheol Dae-jin handled external matters.

Gu Ja-hwang asked,

�How is he doing?�

�Who?�

�The hunchback.�

�He�s tenacious.�

�Is he still holding on?�

�Yes! He did not buckle even after taking the Demonic Soul-Exchange Poison.�2

�What a tough one.�

�I�ve never seen such a tenacious person before.�

The Demonic Soul-Exchange Poison is a poison created using a secret recipe from the Western Region.�

Once ingested, it would corrupt the person�s mind, causing them to lose all reason and become obedient to another person�s orders.�

Most people immediately succumb upon ingesting the Demonic Soul-Exchange Poison, but So Gyeoksan has resisted for several months already. Gu Ja-hwang had never seen anyone with such mental fortitude before, which intrigued him even more.

If he could get So Gyeoksan to surrender and obey him, he would undoubtedly become a great asset.

�You�ve been burning the Demonic Soul-Exchange incense too, haven�t you?�

�Yes!�

�Keep it lit. He must be nearing his limit now.�

�Understood.�

Hwang Ak-chu nodded.

It was rare for Gu Ja-hwang to use both the Demonic Soul-Exchange Poison and incense at the same time. This just showed how much he coveted So Gyeoksan and the other people imprisoned in the same area.�

The problem was that they had strong mental strength and had been resisting until now, but their limits were not far off.

It was then. JrNovels.com
