Episode 217:
The shock the demonic cultists received would be immeasurable.
Sadohak, who came back alive and well, struck a harsh blow at the elders and guardians, and the Black Wind God Demon, who had filled the Demonic Cult with fear and ruled it for a short time, died without leaving a trace.
At the center of the incident was an unknown expert in the Department of Apostolate.
“You must never let this leak out! “Find out the spies, kill them all, and if there is anyone who talks about this incident, be honest with them!”
An emergency was immediately put into effect and the entire Demonic Bridge was placed under control. No one could get out, not even Jeon Seo-gu.
If there was anyone suspected of being a spy, they would hit their head without mercy, and if there was any sign of information leaking out, they would arrest and imprison anyone.
Then Dan Woo-hyeon and his companions left Cheonsan with a carriage and were returning to Honam.
Since it was a journey to deal with the Black Wind God Demon, they had to return as soon as that goal was accomplished.
The carriage stopped when it arrived at Oromokje, which can be said to be the center of Xinjiang.
After staying there for a night, when they were about to move again, Dan Woo-hyeon did not get on the carriage and instead looked at the others.
“I have somewhere to go for a while.”
“huh? “Weren’t we going together?” Namgungcheon tilted his head at the unexpected remark. Everyone, including Dansomi, looked surprised.
“Go back first.”
“Aren’t you going together?”
Dan So-mi grabbed Dan Woo-hyeon’s sleeve and looked up with anxious eyes.
Although there were many people by her side, Somi was anxious about being separated from Dan Woo-hyeon.
It was even more so because Apostle Hak was also away.
Sadohak, who destroyed the Demonic Cult but did not want it to go extinct, remained in the Demonic Cult and said he would return after completing the cleanup.
So-mi was a little downcast, but when she heard that Dan Woo-hyeon was going separately, her anxiety inevitably grew.
Dan Woohyun hugged Somi like that.
“do not worry. “I will follow you soon.”
“Are you coming soon?”
“okay.”
Upon hearing the answer, Dan So-mi smiled brightly.
Until now, Dan Woo-hyun has never lied to So-mi.
That’s why I have no choice but to believe it.
However, Namgungcheon felt very dissatisfied.
“How about we go together?”
“No, alone is enough.”
I frowned when I heard that I was alone.
Dan Woo-hyeon’s expression showed no emotion at all, so it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
But it didn’t seem like he was just going to cruise alone.
At best, if that was the reason, there was no way we wouldn’t go together.
“Hey… then shall I go with you? You’re alone and lonely. “I might even need someone to run errands for me.”
Namgung So-hye slowly raised her hand and gave an embarrassed look.
Dan Woo-hyeon quietly looked at Namgung So-hye and smiled.
“Hmm, then I’d rather take that guy with me
.”
Jang Sam-tae was startled by the unexpected words.
I tried to frown as if I absolutely hated it, but Dan Woo-hyeon just stared at me without saying a word.
Under the unspoken pressure, Jang Sam-tae turned his head to avoid his gaze and made excuses.
“Well… Now that I think about it, when I get back, I have to buy Somi new clothes… I have to cook her a delicious meal… Oh, I think I have to do some housecleaning… There’s a lot of work to do. under.
under. under.”
Namgung So-hye sighed at the sight of him desperately expressing his unwillingness to follow.
I felt like I was better than that person, but I didn’t like it because I felt like I was falling behind.
She puffed out her cheeks and hugged Dansomi.
“Bye!”
He snorted and went into the carriage.
Namgung-cheon spoke in embarrassment as dissatisfied sounds continued to flow from inside the carriage.
“I’m sorry. “I’m still immature…”
“I don’t care. Rather, get ready, Samtae.”
“Eh? Are you really going? “Aren’t you going back to Honam?”
“no.”
“…Are you going far?”
“It must be far. More than I thought. So, I think it would be a good idea to go there with the feeling of a cruise.”
Jang Sam-tae was out of breath as he saw Dan Woo-hyeon smiling brightly.
I couldn’t believe it because it was coming from the mouth of a human being and not someone else.
Moreover, the most important question remained.
“…Can I die?”
“Don’t worry too much. Jang Sam-tae was pounding his chest even though he hadn’t finished speaking since he was taking him away to run errands.
That kind of thing is not difficult.
“Haha, if that’s the case… I’m going to kill Jang-sam Tae-jangju…”
“But I guess I can’t guarantee your life.”
“…I can’t resist. “Hmm!”
Dan Woo-hyeon quietly looked at Jang Sam-tae.
Jang Sam-tae also looked at Dan Woo-hyeon.
Even though they were sweating coldly, they showed their determination that they would never back down this time and started a snowball fight for a while.
However, Dan Woo-hyeon secretly pretends to raise his hand.
“Hehehe, but of course I have to follow! ah! Whose command does this Samtae refuse? Isn’t that right, you two?”
“Hehehe.”
Namgungcheon let out a long sigh.
It seemed like he was not happy with Jang Sam-tae’s extremely cowardly appearance.
However, when it comes to the people who stand by Dan Woo-hyeon, there is no one better than Jang Sam-tae.
“May I ask where you are going?”
“Let’s just call it a resolution of the past.”
“Hmm… I’m really curious, but it’s a shame I can’t follow along…”
Namgungcheon let out a small sigh.
It was extremely disappointing because it was also an opportunity to learn about Dan Woo-hyeon’s past.
But Namgung-cheon also had work to do.
His eyes narrowed.
“Then let’s just go… I’ll follow you right away.”
Sadohak was looking at the scene of the collapsed demonic religion.
Countless demonic cultists were kneeling around him, but the reason they didn’t even give him a glance may have been because he also had a sense of guilt.
This happened because he was away.
Of course, if I hadn’t emptied it, there was a higher possibility that I would have died.
The martial arts skills of the Black Wind God Demon who was fighting Dan Woo-hyeon far exceeded his expectations.
If we got it right, we would be able to compete for fifty or so, but I realized that anything more than that would be impossible.
“It’s bittersweet.”
“You… have no shame!”
The surviving high-ranking officials placed their heads on the ground. Would they feel terrible because it happened because of their poor judgment?
Cheonmagak, which disappeared without a trace, seemed to represent the broken heart of Sadohak.
“How are you feeling, brother? From now on, I will make this place yours
hahaha!”
I remembered a time so long ago that I don’t even remember how long ago it was.
Dongbang-gu.
He had a really funny name, but his skills were one of the best in the midfield.
That’s why I believed in it, and that’s why we were together.
Sadohak smiled as he remembered his only friend who was now dead and gone.
‘The place you showed me is no longer there.’
Cheonmagak disappeared and the surrounding area was literally like a wilderness.
Even if a new building is built, it will not have the same feeling as in the past.
‘It’s a place I don’t want to leave and come back to again. ‘Because it’s the place where I killed you.’
Sadohak, who had been thinking about it up to that point, chuckled.
Still, what is the reason for remaining here?
There was just one.
Dongbanggu loved this Demonic Cult more than anyone else.
It was impossible to leave and let such a demonic religion collapse.
Even if it is because of the love for humans called Eastern Europe that Apostolate has.
“Let’s get this sorted out quickly, you guys!”
There is no reason to stay here any longer… but
I was planning on leaving after at least laying a foundation.
Sadohak looked towards the east with faint eyes and smiled.
***
Dan Woo-hyeon and Jang Sam-tae, who were traveling on horseback, were moving at high speed toward Gansu.
It felt like his back and buttocks were going to explode from the non-stop running, but Jang Sam-tae couldn’t bring himself to complain.
‘Boo… it’s uncomfortable.’
It was incredibly uncomfortable.
It was even better when I traveled with Majang River.
Even if he was strong, he was not as strong as Dan Woo-hyeon, and he knew that he could escape as long as he used his quick feet.
But the person with him now was none other than Dan Woo-hyeon.
Quick feet?
It doesn’t even work.
I felt like I would be devastated if I said even one wrong word, and because of that, I had no choice but to follow behind without even being able to complain even though I was in pain.
Jang Sam-tae was very uncomfortable with this situation.
So I ran and asked.
“Um… Lord Jang, where on earth are you going?”
I thought it would be nice to have it as close as possible. I had a strong desire to end this uncomfortable journey as quickly as possible.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was a little ahead, glanced back.
He smiled strangely, as if he knew Jang Sam-tae’s feelings.
“Do you know where the largest sacred mountain in Jungwon is?”
“Isn’t it Jungwon Oak? Cheonsan is no less than that…”
Is Danwoohyeon looking for Yeongsan? Among the famous mountains in the central plains, the closest one was the volcano in Shaanxi.
‘How close is it?’
That moment when you think about that and make a big face.
“Such a place would be closer to a famous mountain than a sacred mountain. “It is not a sacred mountain simply because it has thick forests and good terrain.”
“Eh? Everyone knows it’s Yeongsan, but…?”
Jang Sam-tae looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with a strange gaze.
Jungwon Oak was a representative sacred mountain that everyone knew about. Numerous legends have been passed down since ancient times, and there were also rumors that spirit creatures live here and there.
But it’s not Yeongsan?
‘What are you talking about, man?’
Jang Sam-tae could not hide his doubts.
“The place called Jungwon Oak and Cheonsan Mountain are also places where spiritual energy gathers, so it is not strange if they are called Yeongsan. However, since the entire mountain is not surrounded by spiritual energy, it cannot be called a true spiritual mountain.”
“What kind of thing is that… Eup….”
He reacted nervously to the incomprehensible words, but when Dan Woo-hyeon’s harsh gaze caught his attention, he quickly covered his mouth.
“Hehe… Hehe…”
Jang Sam-tae sighed in relief and lowered his head.
I could still feel Dan Woo-hyeon’s harsh gaze.
“Anyway, the place we are going is that spiritual mountain.”
“…Where is that spirit mountain?”
That was the biggest problem.
I wish it was as close as possible, but why do I feel uneasy for some reason?
“It’s all about Changbai Mountain.”
“Hey-!”
As soon as he heard the word Changbai Mountain, Jang Sam-tae grabbed the reins and started running blindly toward the south.
“it’s crazy?! “How do you get there?” He ran quickly and ran away. It seemed like he intended to return to Honam immediately.
If I catch up with the carriage, I will be able to hold on to the hem of Somi’s skirt.
Are you alone with Dan Woo-hyeon in a place that doesn’t take a day or two, but takes several months?
That was the same as telling me to die.
I seemed to have forgotten about the pain in my back and buttocks and just ran on. It seemed like he was trying his best to get as far away from Dan Woohyun as possible.
At that moment, something strange flew towards the back of Jang Sam-tae’s head.
puck!
“Quite!”
