126 126. The Wolf and the oracle

The giant Wolf was coiled around the Kut mountain at the center of the plains, feeling the cold wind on its fur. It closed its eyes and felt itself forming a deeper connection with the dao. It was reaching out to someone.

At the same time, a man was sitting in the lotus position. He didn't let it show, but he was panicking. Among the trillions of auspicious karmic ties, there were three ominous ones. They were stubborn, too. They didn't go away, no matter what he did.

One was Kang Bo. That was to be expected. Somewhere down the line, the Karmic sage had lost his grip on Kang Bo's personality. Human personalities are greatly influenced by the events around them. By influencing events in someone's life, one could influence their personality. An unknown force influenced Kang Bo. That, in turn, thwarted the Karmic Sage's influence over Kang Bo's personality.
