Plot[]
Yongbi the Invincible[]
Volume 5[]
As Goo Hwi and members of the Cheonwoong Faction at the Hweyang Villa prepared to clash, the High Elder appeared and struck Goo Hwi in the chest with a powerful palm strike. After being knocked back, Goo Hwi inquired the High Elder on why he withdrew his power despite having the opportunity to strike a fatal blow on him. The High Elder cleared Goo Hwi's name of setting the Villa on fire and allowed him to leave. The High Elder then revealed to the other faction members that Gwan was wounded by a demonic technique and that a monk carrying the High Lord's edict took his broken body to safety at the faction's headquarters.
Then returning to the headquarters, he found the faction in chaos as the members tried to find the monk who had disappeared before going to check up on Gwan with the other Great Elders. The High Elder examined Gwan and found out that the rapid decay of Gwan's body had stopped and the flow of his ki was returning. Then the High Elder told the faction members to stop searching for Ilgak, the monk who carried the High Lord's edict and was a talented healer, adding that they will never find him as he had mastered a stealth movement skill, allowing Ilgak to go anywhere undetected. Later, all ten Great elders sat around a table and discussed the events that had happened and Goo Hwi's role in it. The High Elder then revealed that the hand he used to strike Goo Hwi had been scarred, adding that Goo Hwi had grown far stronger than they have anticipated. Using his authority, the High Elder sent a search squad after the demonists, Sanggwan Chaek, and Yongbi to investigate the incident.
