Episode 363 The worst thing I can think of was
that the head of Nasanbang arrived at Jecheonmaeng directly in the same clothes he had left after eating at the butcher shop. After receiving guidance, he entered the main hall and found the executives of the Jecheon Alliance looking at him. Everyone was well dressed, many people looked nice, and the weapons looked good too.
Although Jugwal was a bit intimidated, he waited without showing his emotions as much as possible.
“….”
A man asked Joo Gwan.
“Are you planning to speak only when the lord comes?”
Joo Gwal nodded.
“exactly.”
“It will be out soon, so just wait a moment.”
Jugwan didn’t bring a chair or invite him to sit down, so he just sat on the floor.
After crossing my arms, I waited for the Lord of Heaven.
There were executives who were openly glaring at me, but I just closed my eyes for a moment without paying any attention.
‘You bastards don’t even give me water…’
As soon as Jugwal heard the sound of footsteps, he got up and looked at the Jecheon lord walking towards him. The man was much larger than rumored. Because he was a living legend in the dark island, he naturally felt intimidated, unlike when he was with executives.
The Lord of Jecheon asked as he sat down at the Taesa Temple.
“…Hao Wenju has something to say?”
Jugwal answered.
“That’s right. It is an honor to meet you, Lord Maeng. “He is said to be the head of Nasanbang.”
Lord Jecheon nodded.
“It’s the same last name. “It looks like you came a long way. Did you drink any water?”
“it’s okay.”
Lord Jecheon held out his hand.
“Give me water first.”
“yes.”
After drinking the water brought by his subordinate, Ju Gwal looked at the Lord of Jecheon.
“I will speak in order, Lord.”
“Say it.”
“My two younger brothers belonging to Nasanbang, those belonging to Daeheungbang, and those belonging to Samwonbang, who were in competition with us, were all killed by a man named Gwangmyeongwusa.”
“Gwangmyeong Woosa?”
“Yes, Daeheungbang and Samwonbang are sects on the route north from where I am. I went into Samwonbang and met a man named Gwangmyeong Usa. He looked like he was out of his mind, probably practicing magic. First of all, my eyes were red. He said he was the leader of a blood religion and encouraged me to join the religion. “I refused and swung my sword once before losing consciousness, but I woke up after being slapped by Hao Wen-ju.”
Lord Jecheon nodded.
“Continue.”
“Hao Wenju was accompanying three people, and they said they were chasing Guangmingwu Master. Munju said that the entire Black Island in the Dongcheonwon area could be killed by Gwangmyeongwusa, so he told me to contact Lord Maeng.”
Lord Jecheon asked.
“I don’t think Hao Wen-ju would have said something so innocent. What did you say? accurately.”
Jugwal answered again.
“I’m sorry, but Hao Wenjue’s words were too disrespectful, so I omitted them.”
“I already know it’s disrespectful. “Tell me what you said.”
“yes.”
Jugwal took a deep breath and then answered.
“…First of all, that Munju guy had this conversation with the scary party. Who would win if the eldest brother Jecheon Lord and Wu Sarang fight? I don’t know. Hao Wenzhou answers. I think I know. I’ve tried both. “I think Gwangmyeong Woosa is a bit stronger.”
Lord Jecheon looked at Zhou Gwan with a surprised expression.
“….”
Joo Gwan continued.
“But the Lord of Jecheon is not a man who will fight alone. Because it’s a group of wolves. Anyway, Jugwal, please tell the Jecheon Alliance. In this way, all the black people here will also die. Gwangmyeong Woosa is now openly massacring while touring Heukdo Island. The guy who is said to be the best in the Black Island turns a blind eye to this massacre? Are you crazy? If he ignores me even after I tell him the news, tell him to give up the title of number one… He slapped me in the face as if he was offended. Master Maeng….”
Zhou Gwal held out his left cheek. There was still a faint trace of the palm.
Joo Gwal spread his fingers one by one and said.
“When I woke up after fainting, he told me to contact Lord Jecheon once… I think he knew that I was Lord Lord’s subordinate. “I was hit by two guns.”
Lord Jecheon looked at Jugwan.
“I’ve never had a subordinate like you.”
“That’s right.”
Lord Jecheon looked at the executives. As soon as the executives heard Joo Gwan’s words, their faces turned bright red. Zhou Gwal had a habit of scratching his throat with his fingers after telling a lie, and now his throat was very red. However, neither Jugwan himself nor Lord Jecheon could know at the moment that he had this habit.
A man muttered.
“…Your words and actions are still disrespectful.”
“He’s really that kind of guy.”
Lord Jecheon said.
“So, the demonic cult’s Gwangmyeongwusa is a little crazy. “What you mean is that you call yourself the leader of a blood religion and mainly massacre the leaders of the Black Island region.”
“Yes, Master. “I was completely covered in blood.”
“I understand the situation. “But how are you alive?”
“I’m not sure about that either. I guess I thought it was funny because I spoke a bit harshly when I said I would refuse to join the school. For the first time in a while, I smiled and said that I would save him. It smelled like burning blood, as if it had been eaten while covered in blood. “I think I saved him because I felt satisfied because I had achieved something.”
The Jecheon lord glared at Ju Gwal for a moment.
Hao Wen-ju’s words rang in my ears again, and I needed some time to control my anger.
“Did you swing your sword at Gwangmyeong Usa first?”
“yes.”
“Why did you do such a reckless thing?”
Jugwal answered.
“Because my brothers suffered.”
“I can’t see the knife.”
Ju Gwal pulled out the butcher knife from the back of his back and showed it to the leader of Jecheon. Lord Jecheon said.
“Are you in the slaughter industry?”
“yes.”
Lord Jecheon sighed briefly and spoke to his subordinate.
“Bring me a piece of black iron from my training center.”
“Yes, Lord Maeng.”
Lord Jecheon said to Ju Gwal.
“I have something to tell you.”
“Please command. Lord Maeng.”
“If you go out from the main gate of Meng and cross Jeonghe Mountain, you will come to Jusan County.”
“I know.”
“If you go to Zhushan County, there is a place called Hwanggu Bridge. Those on or under the bridge are beggars belonging to the open world. “Don’t tell the story to a young beggar, but rather to an older beggar if possible.”
“yes.”
“Just tell me everything you know. “Can you do it?”
Jugwal answered.
“Ah, is it allied with openness?”
“That is up to the openness to decide. However, if we go north along the route you mentioned, there is a risk that the branch of openness will also be damaged. “If something happens, an old beggar will pop out, and if I’m unlucky, I’ll get hit on the head when I’m old.”
“Well…it can’t be like that. “What kind of beggar dares?”
“Wusa seems to have gone crazy while learning magic, but even if he wasn’t crazy, he is one of the strongest men in the Demonic Cult. It’s like seeing a crazy magic master that I only heard about in old fairy tales. “The sooner you stop it, the less damage it will do.”
“All right. “Then I will leave right away.”
“wait.”
When the subordinate who had been to the training ground came back with a black straight sword, the Lord of Jecheon said:
“Give it to Jugwal.”
With a puzzled expression, Ju Gwal received a sword with a black glow.
Lord Jecheon said.
“This is a black iron sword that I often used at the training center.”
Jugwal answered with a puzzled expression.
“Why are you doing this to me?”
Lord Jecheon said.
“Did you swing the butcher knife with the intention of defeating Gwangmyeong Woosa?”
“That’s not it.”
“But why did you do that?”
“As I told you, my younger brothers suffered…”
Lord Jecheon nodded.
“It’s a gift for that cut. You write it. “It’s better than a butcher knife.”
“All right. thank you.”
Lord Jecheon said.
“I will send my subordinates to Nasan Room, Daeheung Room, and Samwon Room to take care of things. Since you are running around as a messenger, we need additional people to block Gwangmyeongwoosa’s path or report the situation. Do you agree?”
“Yes, Lord Maeng.”
“Let’s just go.”
Joo Gwal lowered the tip of Heukcheoldo’s sword and then struck a gun while holding the sword.
“I will go. Lord Maeng. “I will use my sword well.”
“Take a look.”
“yes.”
When Ju Gwal disappeared, Lord Jecheon looked at the executives.
“Officers….”
“Yes, Master.”
The Lord of Jecheon was about to say something and asked with a slight smile that he seemed to be at a loss as well.
“If Gwangmyeong Woosa and I fight, who will win?”
“hmm.”
“Hmm.”
Surprisingly, there was no answer from the executives. This was because they did not know Gwangmyeong Woosa’s skills and there were no people who would answer such questions with flattery. So, it meant that I didn’t know the meaning of silence.
As the executives all fell silent, the Lord of Jecheon nodded.
“…Find it. “I’m curious too.”
“I follow your orders.”
“Some of you should start by looking for Hao Wen-ju and ask if there is anything that Zhou Wen-ju doesn’t know.”
“yes.”
The Lord of Jecheon arose from Taesa Temple.
“I will also prepare to go out.”
While the Jecheon lord was moving, an executive asked cautiously.
“Lord, shall we also convey the news to the Murim Alliance?”
“done. “It’s far away, so the situation will end on the way.”
“All right.”
* * *
I took the ink sword out of my pocket and smashed it into the table.
I was looking out onto the street after ordering food from a seat outside the guesthouse. Suddenly, when I stabbed the ink sword, the demon spoke.
“what’s the matter?”
I looked at Mo Jia Feisu.
“It would be perfect for the current situation to call Yunhyangmunju Yeounbyeok, but there is no way to call it. Even if I call you, the distance is too far.”
The demon nodded.
“right. You said that person had a grudge against Usa. “Master, do you know what the grudge is?”
The Sword Demon answered.
“Was Yunyangmun the Mohist who gifted us this dagger?”
“yes.”
The Sword Demon thought for a moment and then answered.
“When a religious leader enters a closed training camp, there are times when he does not come out for about a year. Even if Usa goes outside to look around and secretly carries out the same massacre as he is doing now, there is no way to know. Moreover, when I return to the school, the Murim League cannot approach me, so I think it is a bad relationship that arose then.”
I looked at the sword demon.
“….”
So, I had a strange feeling when I was looking at the Sword Demon today. So, Usa was now walking down the path that Sword Demon hated and was most wary of.
The Sword Demon took out the ink sword from his arms and slammed it into the table.
“Let’s solve it ourselves. There’s no need to call backup when we can’t find it either. However, because of Usa’s skills, there is no need for us to spread out and search.”
In the end, the Demon Demon and the Color Demon also took out their ink swords and slammed them into the table.
There were really no crazy people who were sticking four daggers into the table at the north, south, east, and west.
Jeomsoy, who was bringing food, was startled and looked at us.
“….”
I called Jeomsoy with my hand.
“Never mind. Put it down.”
“Oh yeah.”
Strangely enough, the number of guests in the guesthouse gradually decreased. Some people who were eating hurriedly got up, and some guests got up right after sitting down.
I didn’t really care.
This is because there was a small chance that he would unluckily become involved in a fight while he was with us. As the guests kept leaving, Jeomsoi was crying.
I made eye contact with Jeomsoy and spoke while eating.
“I’ll eat quickly and leave.”
“yes.”
The sword demon who was eating asked me in a quiet tone.
“Thirdly, is there a reason why you only go this way for several days without checking for the Black Island forces?”
I took a drink and then nodded.
“I thought about it more and more as I came, and I realized that there is a sect massacre about once every three or four days… I can’t tell the direction from beginning to end, but if you calculate it from the time the corpses occurred, it’s true. “Once they massacre, they seem to stay locked up somewhere for a day or two and eat their luck.”
I said this while looking around the ordinary street and the rows of guesthouses.
“Probably, Ungi Breakfast is held in an ordinary place without experts. “You should feel at ease.”
I was thinking about something and said this.
“I don’t think I’ll be able to find it in the end… I have this feeling.”
“which?”
“Wouldn’t Usa call us first? In a situation where you are ready.”
The demon said.
“No matter how strong he gets, can he handle the four of us?”
I didn’t answer the demon’s words. This is because there are actually many ways to handle it. Right now, Gwangmyeong Woosa is going crazy, to say the least. I was secretly hoping that the worst would not come to pass because I was not afraid of any means or methods.
About this worst case scenario.
It was not even shared with the four major evildoers.
First of all, it’s my guess, and I hope it ends up being just a guess.
So, to sum it up briefly….
Gwangmyeong Woosa was able to take hostage because he knew my tendencies. And if a Gwangmyeong Woosa-level expert takes hostage, there is really no way for me to do it.
This means that Gwangmyeong Woosa has no choice but to do whatever he wants.
And I know what Gwangmyeong Woosa wants.
…grow.
This is the worst I can think of. So I didn’t want to act like a crazy person and chase after him. On the contrary, when he had a chance to calm down and rest, he believed in the four evils and focused on fortune-telling while chasing after Gwangmyeong Usa.
The Saekma put the stew on a small plate next to me and placed it in front of the Geomma.
“Master, please eat.”
The Sword Demon answered.
“I ordered a third meal, but why did you bring so much?”
“I have no appetite.”
“When did you say that?”
“Look at that expression.”
I was looking at the sword demon, the demon demon, and the demon demon eating, and I started laughing as if the wind had been knocked out of me. Suddenly, I thought about this while drinking.
I wish Gwangmyeong Woosa had just one piece of conscience left.
If that happens, I have no intention of avoiding it even if Gwangmyeong Woosa asks me for a one-on-one meeting.
This is because Kang Ho-in’s problems can be resolved among Kang Ho-in alone.
