Sign in to edit

Hong Ye-Mong, the Ice Jade Empress of the Fan (빙옥선제 (氷玉扇帝) 홍예몽, Bing-ogseonje Hong-yemong) is a senior member of the old murim, being a part of the Sage Forest, and the leader of the renowned Red Bloods.

In the past, she was one of the Twelve Supreme Masters, being one of the Five Warrior Emperors.[1] During the search for the Golden Castle and Lightning God's Blue Dragon Sword in the Muhae Valley, she went by the name "Sohsoh". Her husband is Yongbi.

Appearance[]

Hong Ye-Mong was an extremely attractive young woman, her beauty was so famous that even those not native to the Middle Kingdom had heard of it. Her wavy black hair was often tied into a long flowing ponytail with strands hanging about. She had full red lips and occasionally wore earrings. Hong Ye-Mong also wore a vast array of cheongsam dresses and robes, and she always carried around her trademark blue bamboo fan. When disguised as Sohsoh, she wore old shabby clothes and had untidy hair which gave her a scruffy appearance. Her face was obscured by large round glasses and a scarf, and she sported short twintails. During this time, she also carried around a massive fan.
Several decades after the war against the Asura Blood Sect, Hong Ye-Mong claims wears makeup to retain a youthful appearance though she does hint it is due to other factors.[2]

Personality[]

Hong Ye-Mong has a strong will and dominant personality befitting her position as mistress of the Red Bloods. While she may seem cold most of the time, Hong Ye-Mong is caring of her organisation and its members. She is also intelligent and cunning, often coming up with schemes. If the situation calls for it, Hong Ye-Mong will personally enter the fray to investigate matters and is completely fearless when it comes to combat.

She has a special relationship with Yongbi, while she is usually serious, his antics always make Hong Ye-Mong lose her cool. Initially in love with Yongbi, she broke her engagement with him after he swindled most of the Red Blood's money. This event has such an impact on her that she will go great lengths to hide traces of their relationship and anyone who mentions even a tiny bit of it will be subjected to her wrath (especially Elder Muk). However, it was revealed that even after all Yongbi had done, she still held feelings for him deep down. She is willing to show forgiveness as she and Yongbi eventually got married but they still occasionally have quarrels.[3]

History[]

At some point in her childhood, Hong Ye-Mong accompanied her father Hong Gi-Moon to the Grand General's Command for a short sojourn where she encountered Yongbi for the first time.[4]

Two years before the story of Yongbi the Invincible, Hong Ye-Mong succeeded as leader of the Red Bloods.[5] Sometime afterwards, Elder Muk arranged a meeting between her and Yongbi.[4]

Approximately one year after Hong Ye-Mong became the leader of the Red Bloods, she and Yongbi got engaged.[6]

Plot[]

Yongbi the Invincible[]

Volume 1[]

After Yongbi was captured by a trap set by the Red Bloods and shackled in their stronghold's dungeon, Hong Ye-Mong rode out from Hobuk castle to greet him. In the dungeon, Hong Ye-Mong appraised his belongings and told Yongbi that it was not even enough to pay the interest on the amount he owed her. She then left to prepare his execution as punishment for having swindled almost all the Red Blood's wealth.

Then Biryong was set freed and Yongbi was allowed to roam unhindered at her orders. Hong Ye-Mong and her aides lured Yongbi into eavesdropping on their conversation by mentioning massive amounts of gold. Their scripted conversation manipulated Yongbi into searching for Yul Mugi and in turn, the Golden Castle. On top of her stronghold, Hong Ye-Mong watched as Yongbi happily swam away, thinking he deceived the Red Bloods with a decoy. She then mentioned that they can just trail him to the Golden Castle without suffering any losses operating out in the open. When her aides questioned if Yongbi is up to the task, Hong Ye-Mong revealed that he was formerly an officer of the Black Lancers, a famous cavalry regiment. Upon being reminded of Yongbi's swindle, she had a fit.

Volume 3[]

When Hong Ye-Mong received the news that Yongbi had exposed the Golden Medallion to the public, she angrily called him a maniac. In the Red Blood's stronghold, Hong Ye-Mong complained about Yongbi's actions as well as Hwan-Ryeong and Mi-Ryeong's (The two agents tailing Yongbi) failure to stop him, while her subordinates cowered in fear of her wrath. Ultimately, Hong Ye-Mong decided to help Yongbi find Yul Mugi as soon as possible by mobilizing most of her agents.

On a ship, the Red Bloods received reports from their squads that were combing the area around Mount Gwe-Heung in search of Yul Mugi. Hong Ye-Mong and her aides examined the sketches of boys but to their frustration, none of them were of Yul Mugi. As Hong Ye-Mong left to rest, she was informed that one of the Red Blood's squads had gone silent near Gwidok Valley, a place located a hundred li southeast of Mount Gwe-Heung. Hong Ye-Mong immediately recognised the significance of this situation. Then going to that squad's location, Hong Ye-Mong and her subordinates inspected the bodies of the agents Cruel Moon Archdemon had killed three days earlier. Because of the extreme decay of the corpses, they came to the conclusion that it could only be the work of a Demonic Technique.

Volume 4[]

Later, at the outskirts of a village, Hong Ye-Mong and the rest of her agents stumbled across the extremely decayed corpses of Hyeok-Rin and the other agent strewn between two trees. Hong Ye-Mong then walked through the desolate village, and stumbled across a luxurious shoe belonging to Yul Mugi. At that, she noticed an enormous presence radiating from a building and Hong Ye-Mong boldly approached it. Entering the building, she found Cruel Moon Archdemon sitting inside with Yul Mugi in his arms. He then complimented Hong Ye-Mong on her beauty while the zombie villagers hung from the ceiling like bats. Hong Ye-Mong then noticed blood dripping down and the hordes of zombie villagers dropped down from the ceiling to attack her. For a moment, it seemed that their attack was successful but Hong Ye-Mong unleashed a powerful technique, generating a tornado that hurled the villagers away and smashed the building she was in.

Hong Ye-Mong's ferocious technique completely decimated the area around her and broke Cruel Moon Archdemon's terrifying Great Soul Summoning Technique, freeing the villagers' bodies from his control. Then they dueled with Hong Ye-Mong overwhelming the Prelate as she relentlessly unleashed her Eight Thunderous Fans and Storm Apricot Blossom Fan techniques. She also snatched Yul Mugi from Cruel Moon Archdemon's clutches in the process. Battered and angered, Cruel Moon Archdemon uttered that he would not hold back any longer and performed a powerful technique, firing a barrage of wolf-like shaped energy blasts at Hong Ye-Mong. She effortlessly deflected Cruel Moon Archdemon's attack with a whirlwind while the latter looked on in shock acknowledging her strength. Then Hong ye-Mong used the Heavenly Wind Fan, one of the Red Blood's deadliest techniques, completely levelling the village.

After determining that Cruel Moon Archdemon is dead, Hong Ye-Mong hurries to get Yul Mugi some medical attention. However, as she turns to leave, the skull of Cruel Moon Archdemon's corpse warps, revealing it to be an entirely different person. Elder Muk examined the corpse of Cruel Moon Archdemon's clone and identified that the distortion of the skull was due to the Phantasmal Demonic Bone Reaver technique. At that, Hong Ye-Mong ordered to have every agent deployed in the web of pursuit to close in on the village. However, commander Zhang fearfully revealed to her that the web of pursuit was disbanded and that the agents were already gathered at the village.

Unable to determine the locations of the Asura Blood Sect members, Hong Ye-Mong ordered the Red Bloods to withdraw, and to investigate the disappearance of the squad led by Woo Goldae. Hong Ye-Mong came to a revelation and questioned commander Zhang on the location of Yongbi and after he told her that Yongbi was at the Cheonwoong Faction's Hweyang villa, Hong Ye-Mong expressed worry as it was one of the potential locations the Asura Blood Sect members could be heading to. She suddenly realized that the user of the Phantasmal Soul Technique would be able to easily extract the Golden Castle's location from Yul Mugi's mind and with that information, the Asura Blood Sect members would be after the Golden Medallion next. She then gave orders to send word to Mi-Ryeong and Hwan-Ryeong to extricate Yongbi immediately. With Yongbi as the topic at hand, Elder Muk revealed that Yongi and Hong Ye-Mong got engaged a year ago and rumors spread among the agents much to Hong Ye-Mong's chagrin.

Later on the Red Blood's ship, Elder Muk approached Hong Ye-Mong and told her not to worry about her "dear husband". Hong Ye-Mong angrily responded by sending him flying, noting that she was concerned about the Golden Medallion, not Yongbi.

Volume 5[]

After the event at the Hweyang Villa, Hwan-Ryeong and Mi-Ryeong led Elder Muk and Hong Ye-Mong to a cave where Biryong was hiding the unconscious Yongbi. Then on the Red Blood's ship, Yongbi goes berserk from his nightmare as servants tried to hold him down. Seeing this scene, Hong Ye-Mong questioned Elder Muk on his competence as a healer and the latter reassured her. When he alluded to her and Yongbi's relationship, Hong Ye-Mong sent him flying off the ship.

Volume 6[]

Disguised as Sohsoh, a member of the Bihak Sect, Hong Ye-Mong was earning money through bull-riding with Biryong as the bull and the prize. Biryong proved too strong and bested four challengers, nearly killing them. Then a man named FlatFish took up the challenge while Yongbi also arrived. Biryong goes berserk but was unable to shake FlatFish off while Yongbi became acquainted with Sohsoh. Seeing Yongbi, Biryong flipped over and crushed FlatFish before treading over to greet his master lovingly. Then using their disguises, they get Yongbi to collaborate with them in finding the Golden Castle.

Yongbi requested that the number of people accompanying him be kept to a minimum and the elderly man readily agreed, adding that they would only send one person to accompany him, a highly skilled agent named Sohsoh. Later at the Bihak Sect's base, Yongbi approached and greeted Yul Mugi. Yongbi gave the young boy the Golden Medallion however Yul Mugi was aware that the former wanted something in return. Their conversation played out just as Yongbi predicted and Yul Mugi readily agreed to accompany Yongbi's group in their search for the Golden Castle.

Yul Mugi then divulged the metaphorical description to Yongbi and Sohsoh, adding that he knew what it refered to. Sohsoh told him that if he told her the terrain features, she would have the geographical location found by night time. Later at sunset, Sohsoh approached a ship where the other Bihak Sect members were waiting. Inside, a large amount of agents were combing through maps in search of the Golden Castle's location. Then she goes to take a bath. Later, Elder Muk informed Hong Ye-Mong that they had found the location the Golden Castle was in.

In the morning, disguised as the Bihak Sect, the Red Bloods supplied Yongbi with wine and dried meat. Then they rode off, beginning the journey to the Golden Castle.

As Yongbi's group traveled, they encountered an old man and a young lady. The old man flicked Yongbi a single nyang for a ride and Yongbi refused. However, Yongbi changed his mind and allowed the old man to accompany him after being given a large sum of money, much to Sohsoh's chagrin. As they traveled, Hyeon Jae-Yang offered Yongbi enormous amounts of money to reveal information about himself and his entourage to which Yongbi readily accepted due to his extreme lust for money. He even goes as far as revealing the metaphorical description of the Golden Castle's location. At that, Sohsoh ousts Hyeon Jae-Yang as the Cheonwoong Faction's master and attempted to drive him out. Then, Hyeon Jae-Yang revealed that he knew the location that the metaphorical description described having been there before, adding that it was used by natives who lived around the Muhae Valley when they describe that area. In addition, Hyeon Jae-Yang mentioned that Sanggwan Chaek knew the location as well to Yongbi and Sohsoh's concern.

Volume 7[]

Their party then entered and travelled through the Muhae Valley. Some time later, Yongbi was jolted awake by his nightmare and wandered off to check on the decoy he set up. As he relieved himself, he told Sohsoh, who was spying on him, to wake everyone up and to set off. In their ensuing conversation, it is revealed that he intended to keep his promise of marrying Hong Ye-Mong, and she seemed to return those feelings.

Volume 8[]

Later, an earthquake rang out across the Valley, and they abandoned the cart to seek refuge among the trees.

As they waited out the earthquake, Sohsoh noticed a signal from the Red Bloods and wandered off. Sohsoh and the Red Bloods agents conversed and commanded them to hide before Hyeon Jae-Yang arrived. Hyeon Jae-Yang approached Sohsoh and revealed that he overheard their conversation and now knew that she was actually the mistress of the Red Bloods. After Hyeon Jae-Yang accused her of being dubious, Sohsoh fired back by revealing that Sanggwan Chaek was the one responsible for bringing the demonists to the Middle Kingdom to begin with.

Volume 9[]

Hyeon Jae-Yang responded to Hong Ye-Mong's accusation of Sanggwan Chaek's involvement with the Asura Blood Sect with anger, adding that he would find the truth. He then promised retribution if Hong Ye-Mong was lying and she welcomed it. When Hyeon Jae-Yang left, Hong Ye-Mong ordered her agents to scatter and then wept over her earlier confrontation.

Volume 10[]

The Red Bloods agents informed Hong Ye-Mong of the presence of a large number of elite Murim Alliance agents. With this information, Hong Ye-Mong mused about the Murim Alliance's goals and intentions. Ultimately, Hong Ye-Mong ordered a full retreat. Then, the Four Yellow Dragons arrived and presented the heavily injured Elder Muk to her, noting that they were attending Yongbi's wounds when he suddenly went berserk and unconsciously cut down Elder Muk.

Volume 11[]

Hong Ye-Mong ordered the Red Bloods to retreat and evacuate Elder Muk while she goes deal with some business in the Muhae Valley. Before being evacuated, Elder Muk told Hong Ye-Mong to forgive Yongbi for slashing him.

Somewhere underground, Hong Ye-Mong secretly followed Cruel Moon Archdemon and his subordinates. As the Asura Blood Sect members rushed through the underground passages, Cruel Moon Archdemon suddenly stopped and turned around, telling someone to come out of hiding. His subordinates destroyed a stone pillar, revealing that they were being trailed by Hong Ye-Mong. Hong Ye-Mong fought with the demonists and after killing two of them, she goaded the prelate to enter the fight. The Asura Blood Sect members swarmed her but she easily repeled two of them and evaded the others with a flip. In the air, Hong Ye-Mong switched targets and dived toward Cruel Moon Archdemon. The prelate countered her strike but got knocked back due to Hong Ye-Mong's superior physical strength. As Hong Ye-Mong moved in for another blow, the Asura Blood Sect members rushed to their prelate's aide. They were repelled once more but this gave Cruel Moon Archdemon enough time to charge up an attack. Cruel Moon Archdemon unleashed a powerful technique at Hong Ye-Mong but to the shock of all, she blocked the attack unscathed. In retaliation, Hong Ye-Mong used a special technique.

When the dust settled, Cruel Moon Archdemon emerged from the rubble with only slight injuries as he was able to block the attack. Yongbi made his presence known to the Prelate, who expressed shock that Yongbi was still alive. Yongbi was momentarily distracted by Hong Ye-Mong's presence and Cruel Moon Archdemon used this opportunity to unleash a ki blast and run away. However, Yongbi noticed and blocked the sneak attack in time and chased after the Prelate. To everyone's surprise, Hong Ye-Mong knocked Yongbi back with one of her techniques.

Volume 12[]

Hong Ye-Mong asked Yul Mugi if he was hurt and after the latter declared that he was fine, Hong Ye-Mong ordered the boy and two horses to stay far away. Yongbi emerged from the rubble and upon seeing Hong Ye-Mong, realized that she was disguised as Sohsoh all along. Right after, Hong Ye-Mong relentlessly assaulted Yongbi while the latter desperately tried to block the attacks. She paused the attacks briefly to question Yongbi on why he attacked Elder Muk. Because Yongbi was unconscious when it happened, he gave her no answer, causing Hong Ye-Mong to continue her assault, and then obliterated him with her Shocking Lightning Rampage technique. As Yul Mugi angrily questioned Hong Ye-Mong on her motive for killing a comrade, Yongbi hanging onto a stalactite, revealed that he was still alive. Dropping down, Yongbi noted that there must be a misunderstanding and took Yul Mugi hostage to stop Hong Ye-Mong from attacking. Suddenly, Jeok Seong arrived and approached them.

Hong Ye-Mong intercepted Jeok Seong noting that she still had business with Yongbi. Stepping in front of her, Yongbi told her to let him fight his former comrade, but she refused. Eventually, they came to an agreement that if Elder Muk died, Yongbi would head down to the Red Bloods and pay with his life. Then the former comrades turned foes clashed.

Volume 13[]

One of the Four Yellow Dragons informed Hong Ye-Mong that Elder Muk's condition was improving.

With Yongbi revealing the truth about what happened during his time with the Black Lancers, Jeok Seong was unable to accept the truth and ran off, throwing a tantrum in the process. Yongbi and Biryong followed shortly after but not before Hong Ye-Mong reminded Yongbi to give himself up to the Red Bloods after he was finished with his business.

Volume 15[]

As one of the volcanos in the Muhae Valley started to erupt, Hong Ye-Mong was seen leaving alongside Arong, Yul Mugi, and a member of the Red Bloods.

At the Red Bloods' headquarters, Elder Muk recovered from his injuries sustained in the Muhae Valley and Hong Ye-Mong rushed over to hug him. Later at night, they conversed about how they haven't found a trace of Yongbi and that means he was still alive. Hong Ye-Mong solemnly pondered about Yongbi but then Elder Muk made a perverted joke and she angrily sent him flying into the sky.

Some time later, she and Elder Muk visited Lee Serin for information on Yongbi's whereabouts.

Between the events of Yongbi the Invincible and Gosu (The Master)...

Hong Ye-Mong was involved in the Old Murim Alliance's war against the Demonic Cult. The war eventually ended with a pyrrhic Victory for the alliance and the annihilation of the Asura Blood Sect. She then settled down in the Sage Forest. Shortly after this war, she, Goo Hwi and Yongbi fought against and permanently injured Sa Paecheon,[7] which eventually lead to Sa Paecheon's consecutive defeats against those affiliated with the Heavenly Destruction Sect.

Gosu (The Master)[]

Season 2 Introduction[]

Having housed him briefly, Hong Ye-Mong and the other senior members saw Gang Ryong off as the young gosu left to head back to Yellow Dragon Mountain. Yongbi questioned if Gang paid for room and board and she told him to shut up.

Revived Heavenly Destruction Sect[]

At the orders of Goo Hwi and Yongbi, she intervened before the Pro-Heavenly Destruction Alliance could clash with the Baekma Valley, and Murim Alliance remnants led by Doh Gyeom. Hong Ye-Mong arrived and threateningly ordered everyone to cease fighting in the name of the Sage Forest. Visibly unsettled by this revelation, Yang Samin the leader of the Pro-Heavenly Destruction Sect Alliance capitulated and bowed before Ye-Mong with the rest of the leaders quickly following. With Yang Samin asking why Ye-Mong told them to stand down, the latter explained that the Sage Forest held the Revived Heavenly Destruction Sect at fault and that they would not harm any of the sects of the Middle Kingdom if they stood down. At that, the Pro-Heavenly Destruction Sect Alliance turned back.

Then going to the tavern-at-the-fork, Hong Ye-Mong enjoyed the food with Jin Garyeong. Later, Yongbi oversaw the test to see who would be the champions for their side in their upcoming battle. Ilgak came in to ask what would happen if none pass the test, but Hong Ye-Mong assured him that they had three champions already. Ilgak then complimented Ye-Mong's beauty and questioned why only she and Yongbi don't seem to age. However, she kept the method a secret, noting it wasn't something a celibate could do. Some time later, Ye-Mong was having a meal at the tavern when messengers arrived and urged her to return as Goo Hwi and Yongbi left for the Sky Gorge Mountain.

Early in the morning at the tavern-in-the-fork, Song Chohyang and Yerin were talking about going to the Sky Gorge Mountain when Hong Ye-Mong suddenly dropped in for a cup of tea and after hearing of their plight, offered to take Yerin there. On their way there, Hong Ye-Mong and Song Yerin's ride to the Sky Gorge Mountain came to a halt when they find the road they were taking destroyed. The cart driver informed Hong Ye-Mong that they would need to find another path, claiming it would take at least half a day to go around. Then Hong Ye-Mong told the driver to do so but Yerin chimed in, saying that she would get off and make it there on her own. When Hong Ye-Mong asked how the young lady planned to get to their destination, Yerin replied that she would traverse the cliffs and assured Hong Ye-Mong that she would choose the least steep route if the Ice Jade Empress of the Fan tagged along. Interrupting Yerin, Hong Ye-Mong complimented Yerin's eyes, personality, and kind heart and likened it to her younger sister's (Hong Ye-Mong has a younger half-sister named Hong Yerin), as well as noting that they have the same name. Hong Ye-Mong then said that she would take Yerin to their destination by riding the wind.

Hong Ye-Mong and Song Yerin arrived at the Sky Gorge Mountain and looking through the eyes of a Revived Heavenly Destruction Sect warrior, Hwan Sa mentioned that the three heads of the Sage Forest was now present due to the arrival of the Ice Jade Empress of the Fan and that she was someone he wanted to eliminate. However, he became extremely worried after noticing Yerin and commanded his minions to remove her from the mountain. Hong Ye-Mong commented that the warriors were exuding murderous intent right away and that the old trio had a fun time but didn't finish cleaning up everything. Hong Ye-Mong noticed Song Yerin walking off and asked her where she was going. Yerin thanked the Ice Jade Empress of the Fan for bringing her there and said that she was going to go find Gang Ryong. Hong Ye-Mong mused about how she was only planning to drop the young lady off at the mountain and leave, but now decided that she couldn't just leave Yerin alone in such a dangerous place. At the same time, three warriors attacked Hong Ye-Mong but were casually blown away. Then as Yerin looked down the hole created by Gang Ryong's attack, Hong Ye-Mong approached her, wondering if she was trying to get down there. Yerin told Hong Ye-Mong that it was dangerous and she should head back but the latter assured Yerin there was no problem. Then the ground around them suddenly crumbled

As Song Yerin and Hong Ye-Mong both fall down the hole in the Sky Gorge Mountain, the latter used the wind to help them descend safely and in the process, she catched a brief glimpse of Ilgak, and Jin Garyeong with her two unconscious comrades. On the ground, Yerin informed Hong Ye-Mong that she found Gang Ryong and then greeted the young man, mentioning that the guardian spirit she put on him kept giving her bad news. Unable to reply, Gang struggled to deal with a headache and Yerin became aware of Hwan Sa's presence. Yerin used her Dragon Sight (, Yong-an) to expel Hwan Sa from Gang and as the Spirit Lord was being ripped away, he commanded the River Dragon Armour to prevent Gang from connecting with the Dragon Sight. The armour encapsulated the young man and tried to escape but Hong Ye-Mong forcibly halted it before mentioning that she didn't expect to see the armour again in that place. She then said that it doesn't look like it was here to fight and wondered if it was trying to run away. The armour tried to escape once more but the Ice Jade Empress of the Fan sliced it in half without harming the wearer and before it can encapsulate the young man again, unraveled the armour from him using her fan before smashing it against a wall nearby. Facing the armour down, Hong Ye-Mong noted that she needed to give Yerin and Gang some time together so she would play with it for a bit. Song Yerin then consoled Gang as he struggled to deal with pain in his head while Hong Ye-Mong watched them.

After Okcheonbi used his Thousand Circle Formation, Hong Ye-Mong unleashed a barrier of ki that could withstand the effects of the resonance. Hong Ye-Mong said that Yerin was not a fighter, and was lenient on Ilgak but criticized Jin Garyeong for not training her inner ki more. Jin Garyeong politely respond that she suffered internal injures from facing a monstrous opponent. Hong Ye-Mong refused to accept Garyeong's excuse, and mentioneds that everyone says their opponent was monstrous before asking the young lady a rhetorical question about being a member of the Murim. Garyeong tried to reason that her opponent really was an immensely powerful man but the Ice Jade Empress of the Fan cut her off, saying that she need to train her internal ki in the future. Hong Ye-Mong then revealed that even she couldn't keep up the barrier for long in that state.

After Goo Hwi used his powerful Heaven Explosive Extermination technique on Okcheonbi, a vast area of the Sky Gorge Mountain was destroyed, and he collapsed with blood spurting out of him. Then Hong Ye-Mong arrived with the rest of the party in tow. Upon seeing the long-haired Gang Ryong from a distance, Yongbi struck him with a powerful attack thinking it was Okcheonbi. Hong Ye-Mong took note of Yongbi's ill appearance and questioned if it was due to his heart again to which the latter responded that he was fine after taking a rest. Then Gang got up only to be hit by a whirlwind unleashed by Hong Ye-Mong. She then sighed, noting that the two old men were unable to to take care of one man and wondered what they were doing all this time. After seeing Gang get up again in the distance, Yongbi told his wife that their opponent isn't someone to be taken lightly. The Ice Jade Empress of the Fan said that it did look like the two old men had some trouble and prepared to attack once more. However, Song Yerin interrupted them and openly questioned if the person they were facing was Gang Ryong, shocking everyone present.

Later at their camp that night, Dang Gan returned with his search party and informed Hong Ye-Mong that they could not find any trace of Okcheonbi but noted that they may have missed a few locations so they would send out everyone to do a second pass at daybreak tomorrow. He also added that everyone who went to the Sky Gorge Mountain arrived safely. He then brought up Yongbi's name to which Hong Ye-Mong said he went out for a stroll real quick.
