Episode 590
Jin Cheon-hee left for a moment after hearing her words.
Shouts, screams, and self-blame came from beyond the bed.
“Could it be that you commit suicide…?”
Han Bing asked if he was worried.
Jin Cheon-hee shakes his head.
“It’ll probably be okay. maybe.”
How long has it been?
When told to come in, Jin Cheon-hee went inside.
The saint’s long hair had been cut off cleanly.
It looks like he has put his mind in order.
“I will stop your father.”
Jin Cheon-hee asks those words without any sympathy or comfort.
“How are you going to stop the saint?”
What if the saint’s answer is different from the path Jin Cheon-hee wants to take?
‘We have no choice but to go our separate ways.’
That’s probably something that can’t be helped.
“Let’s go to the Holy Land.”
however. The saint gave an answer that Jin Cheon-hee did not expect.
“A holy place?”
What kind of method will come of going to a holy place?
In response to Jin Cheon-hee’s question, the saint explained the reason.
“In the sacred place… there is a secret treasure of our church. If you use it and perform a ritual, you can remove the title of palace lord. The reason my father tried to kill me… was to prevent that. “We must go up to the shrine and finish this job.”
Jin Cheon-hee thought to herself as she saw the saintly woman showing her resolute will.
‘Will the palace owner easily step down just because he performed the sacred ceremony? Or… there might be some secret in the shrine that I don’t know about.’
Jin Cheonhee weighed things in her mind.
Will we believe in the saint’s words, believe in the possibility, and go to the holy place?
Or will Jin Cheon-hee use his own method?
The North Sea Ice Palace, not Hangzhou. If you, a foreigner, jumped in, you would most likely shed a lot of blood.
“Killing my daughter to prevent a ritual that may or may not happen at best?!”
While Jin Cheon-hee was struggling internally. Gongsunyoung was dumbfounded and asked back.
“yes. As a guardian saint, the rituals performed at the sacred site have absolute authority and authority. To prevent that, my father… is probably still looking for me.”
When I say that, my voice trembles low.
This may be because he didn’t want to cry anymore, so he chewed his lip on purpose to make it bleed.
“So, gin incineration liquor. Please help me. “We must go to the Holy Land together.”
Holy place.
The top of Cheonbingsan Mountain.
Is the answer there?
It was then. The moment Hwanggu first listens and reacts.
Quagwagwagwang!
An explosion sounded in the distance.
The door burst open and the innkeeper spoke.
“Saint! I think I got caught. “We’ll do our best to hold on, so run away!”
Jin Cheon-hee made a decision after much deliberation.
I decided to go to the shrine, trusting the judgment of the guardian saint.
Gongsunyoung asked.
“Saint. “Are you able to move around?”
She answered those words.
“sorry. “With my current body…”
“It’s okay.”
Jin Cheonhee spoke calmly.
Wow!
Hwanggu panted and stuck out his tongue.
“Let’s get in.”
The saint stroked Hwanggu’s face with her free hand.
* * *
As I left the inn, what I saw was an appearance that could easily be considered a civil war.
The explosion I heard before leaving the inn seemed to have been a signal.
The warriors of the North Sea Ice Palace swing their swords at each other.
“The palace lord is crazy! The crazy palace lord is no longer qualified to be the palace lord! Follow the saint!”
“Cut off the traitor’s head! “Follow the laws of the Ice Palace!”
“Crazy guys! The palace owner is crazy! “Don’t you understand when you see your brothers and sisters locked up one day for committing a crime and then disappearing?”
It seemed that even the people in the North Sea Ice Palace were already vaguely aware that something was strange.
Well, it was worth it. Because many of the test subjects were people from the North Sea Ice Palace.
“Where are you spreading rumors? “They are prisoners!”
“What does it matter what happens to the sinner?”
They started fighting with each other viciously.
Seeing that cruel sight, Jin Cheon-hee gritted her teeth and the saintess also bit her lip.
She said.
“I understand So Uiseon’s feeling of wanting to intervene, but going up is the most urgent priority.”
Prince Hanbing asked.
“sister. “Can we solve this problem by going to the Holy Land?”
“okay. “If you go to the Holy Land… you can end everything if you go to the Holy Land.”
Jin Cheon-hee was surprisingly quick to organize her mind.
“Anyway, since they were holding swords, the warriors would have been prepared to put their beliefs on the line. The civilians were evacuated, so that was enough. Rather, we hurry.”
Jin Cheonhee thought.
‘Anyway, since you’ve eaten a lot of food, you have to live your own life.’
Now, the longer it is delayed, the more dangerous it becomes for the civilians.
“Then… let’s go!”
As soon as Prince Hanbing took out his sword, the warriors under the palace lord also discovered the group.
“The fallen saint is over there!”
“Hold it… pop!”
however.
Those who were running fell down and fainted from the sudden shock.
Tanjicheontong. Silent bullet.
The bullet that flew in silently put them to sleep.
“Ha-Ryun. Don’t kill people, just subdue them. Because I will too. And the saint.”
Jin Cheonhee said with a serious expression.
“The sooner we get this done, the less sacrifices we’ll have to make, so let’s go.”
The saintess nodded.
* * *
The group ran with all their might.
As I was climbing Mt. Cheonbing, I suddenly looked back and saw that the sky was turning scarlet.
Gongsunyoung said.
“The city! “Drones are burning the city!”
Baekho City is a big city. And part of that city is burning.
Although the entire city was not on fire, at least dozens of homes seemed to be engulfed in flames.
“….”
The saint tightly grasped Hwanggu’s fur with her free hand.
Yeo Ha-ryun, who was looking at it, asked.
“So what are you going to do? Are you going back? “Saint.”
“…Why are you asking that? “Magic religion.”
At those words, Yeo Ha-ryun spoke in a voice without laughter.
“I asked because I was curious. “If it weren’t for the blood mission, I would have easily become the next North Sea Ice Palace Lord.”
“…A saintess cannot become the Lord of the North Sea Ice Palace. “It only disqualifies those who are not qualified.”
“Right. “Then what is the answer?”
Yeo Ha-ryun looked at the saint and asked.
It’s probably pure curiosity asked by someone who has died and killed countless times to become the Heavenly Demon.
Even Jin Cheon-hee couldn’t stop this.
It is unknown what will happen when Yeo Ha-ryun becomes the Heavenly Demon.
Of course, there is something I saw in the Supreme Heavenly Demon. But even so, now I know.
‘The Supreme Heavenly Demon’s Yeoharyun and the current Yeoharyun are different.’
Even if the beginning is the same, isn’t the path ultimately taken different?
Let’s stop judging people based on novels.
Jin Cheonhee thought.
Finally, the saint spoke.
“…I’m not going back.”
“Why?”
“Because if I get back from here, I won’t be able to stop my father.”
“Right.”
Yeo Ha-ryun nodded and headed forward first.
“So what is the correct answer?”
“There is no such thing. “I’m just curious about the results of your answer.”
“…North Sea Ice Palace Lord… no, my father.”
“Since he is with the Blood Mission, he will be killed. “Because that is the name of our doctrine.”
“….”
Yeo Ha-ryun looks back. The bright red eyes were just like pomegranates.
“You don’t like it?”
The saint did not answer.
Instead, he just urges Hwang-gu’s head to be swept away.

While heading to Cheonbingsan Mountain, there were no unmanned personnel or pursuers.
Because of this, the party is halfway up Mt. Cheon Ice Mountain.
We were able to arrive at the entrance to the sacred site.
If you were an ordinary person who had not learned inner skills, you would have needed a long preparation and a lot of luggage to climb.
Just as climbing Mount Everest requires a lot of preparation.
However, the people here are among the best warriors in the world.
Because of this, we were able to arrive here in a short period of time.
There was thick fog in front of me, but I couldn’t see an inch ahead.
‘This… is a matchless strategy.’
She got off the hwanggu.
“for a moment. “You have to do a special ritual.”
Oh, I said so.
A story came to mind that the power of a saint was needed to open the Cheonbingsang shrine.
First, the saint took off her shoes and stood barefoot on the snow.
He cut his finger and bled, and the blood splattered into his eyes.
Whoosh –
something flows out around her.
The snow in the snowy field began to turn red in an instant.
‘It’s similar to Wanong’s magic.’
Jin Cheon-hee saw this phenomenon and realized that it was not something simple.
A completely different kind of power flows out from the energy of ordinary martial artists.
As Jin Cheon-hee, who learned witchcraft and even uses some of it, this is the first time she feels power!
‘It seems… the Guardian Church is not just a religion.’
While Jin Cheon-hee was looking at him like that. She started dancing the sword dance.
Even though she has no arms, she dances slowly but gracefully.
Daae-Aeng –
Strangely enough, the bell rang. I didn’t see any facilities nearby where people could live, let alone species.
As if responding to that, her sword also made a sound.
When the dance ended, the saint stumbled and fell.
Gongsonyoung caught her like that.
“Saint!”
“It’s tiring trying to do it with just one arm. However… now that the ritual has been completed, part of the battle will begin soon.”
just as expected.
As the saint
said, I felt like the fog was definitely getting lighter.
“Now the elders in the shrine will see the clouds and know that I am coming.”
She looked down at her arms.
“…normally, I would have spoken in advance and lifted the stance, but since this is a situation like this, I think you will understand.”
Although she is a saint, she is also a swordsman who has mastered the art of ice white magic.
There was no way I wouldn’t have regrets about my severed arm.
The sword dance just looked more tired than usual as he was trying to do everything with one arm.
There wasn’t much Jin Cheon-hee could do.
She is a patient, but she is a saint in charge of the North Sea Ice Palace.
There was no time to cry.
In order to stop the mad palace lord, all you have to do is shake off your wandering thoughts and move forward.
“Please tell me if the pain gets worse.”
“It’s still okay. “It’s bearable.”
After saying that, he grabbed Gongsunyoung’s arm tightly and lifted himself up.
“Is it okay if I wait like this for a while? Be polite.”
“Of course it’s okay.”
The saintess nodded at Gongsunyoung’s words.
I followed the light fog and went inside.
Before entering, Jin Cheonhee was somehow looking into the distance.
“What’s going on?”
Jin Cheon-hee responded to those words.
“no. “I just looked down the mountain.”
“….”
Even though the sacred site was open, a saintess guided the path at intervals as if there were hidden traps….
As I followed along like that, when I looked back, I saw a cliff a thousand miles away.
‘and. ‘If you take one wrong step, you’ll be trapped under the iceberg.’
How much longer did I walk like that?
We reached the top of Cheonbingsan Mountain.
“Do you feel strangely tight in your chest?”
Jin Cheon-hee nodded at Gong Son-young’s words.
“Because the altitude is already very high. “There are clouds beneath your feet.”
When I looked down, the forest, icebergs, and village all looked like toys.
The saint looked back.
“It’s like all of this is a dream. Priests. “I wish it was just a nightmare.”
She looks blankly at the burned village.
“I should have stopped it earlier, but I didn’t have the courage. If I had, would it have been different?”
