The Ghost Thief of Storms and Clouds, Mu Myeong.
A name and title that shook Zhongyuan about forty to fifty years ago.
No one knew the thiefâs gender.
No one knew their identity.
No one knew where they were from.
Nor was it known why they did what they did.
Yet, despite this veil of mystery, they engraved their name into the annals of Zhongyuan with unforgettable infamy.
That was the Ghost Thief of Storms and Clouds, Mu Myeong.
Otherwise known as the Ghostly Bandit.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe title sounds fancy, but in the end, they were just a thief.â
Wherever there was a treasure, if the Ghost Thief desired it, they would steal it.
Even the entire Martial Alliance had once mobilized to capture them, but to no avail.
They left behind no traces, no clues as to how they operated.
Were they a master of speed and stealth? A genius at disguise?
No one could say.
It was this elusiveness that earned them the title of Ghost Thief, and their anonymity the name Mu Myeong, meaning Nameless.
Additionally...
âThey were a lunatic who robbed every prestigious family out there.â
The Four Great Noble Houses, the Nine Great Sectsâif it was a treasure worth stealing, they took it.
They even managed to sneak into the Martial Alliance and steal their prized possessions.
âBut the most absurd partâ¦â
The main reason the Ghost Thief became so famous was not just their skill but their peculiar methods, exemplified by this current situation with Wudang.
âThey always sent a warning letter first.â
They would announce their intentions ahead of time, declaring when and where they would strike.
And then, true to their word, they would succeed without fail.
âWhat kind of thief sends a warning and then actually does it?â
But that was exactly what they did. Without a single failure, the Ghost Thief executed their heists and succeeded every time.
Thatâs why they became a legend.
They were simply too good at thievery, and thatâs what made them famous.
What cemented their place in history, however, was something even more shocking.
âThey returned every treasure they ever stole.â
The Ghost Thief handed over all fifteen treasures they had stolen back to the Martial Alliance.
For those who had been robbed, it was both baffling and infuriating.
They had painstakingly stolen the treasures, only to return them all?
âAnd the reason they gave for doing so was the best part.â
Woo Bongchwi had lost his mind.
There was a compelling reason for him to act this way.
Woo Bongchwi was not actually the Ghost Thief.
