Episode 393
: The carriage was heading up to Sichuan via Guizhou, not Chongqing.
Junggyeong must have already had many corpses lying around from the fight against Hyeolcheon, so they chose Anhang and Gwiju because they did not want to see such things.
The journey wasn’t that tiring.
The road is smooth, the sky is clear, and there are no fighting bandits.
Nokrimdo Island could not be seen because the eighteen houses of Nokrim had already been destroyed and there was a dispute between those seeking power.
But these things are somewhat boring.
Isn’t the fun of a journey something happening and solving it?
The children, who were excited at first, also became glum.
Because it felt so different from what I expected.
After spending a night in the capital city of Guizhou, they started moving again and within three days, they had entered the border between Guizhou and Sacheon.
“You will have to be careful from here on.”
“wherefore?”
Inside the carriage, Zhuge Yun cried out. After crossing Guizhou, we entered the Sichuan border. That means that there is a place where a fight with Hyeolcheon is taking place not far from where they are.
“According to Hao Wen, there is a fight going on three days away from here. “The information is that a group of Blood Heavens are chasing them as they retreat.”
Hao Wen’s information is reliable.
Although we cannot completely trust everything, it seemed to be true that the Jeongdo and Sapa groups were retreating.
“You’re retreating? “Without blocking it?”
Namgungcheon asked. I could not believe that they were retreating when they had to prevent entry into Sacheon. If Hyeolcheon’s successor arrives, it will never be a good day.
“I heard that Zhuge County is there. “You must have something in mind.”
“Huh… But what can I do…”
Zhuge Un smiled bitterly.
I am aware of Namgung-cheon’s concerns to some extent. Additionally, Zhuge Xuan’s thoughts were also in his head. The idea is to retreat, draw them into a good place for a surprise attack, and then crush them right away.
This was one of the solutions that the current Jeongdo people could do. Of course, if the opponent reads the move, he will be counterattacked and it will never be good.
Nevertheless, the fact that this plan was carried out ‘must have been due to the influence of Sacheondangga.’ The Sichuan Tang family is cunning and cunning. Even in this situation, they try to take care of their rights. As a result, he would have put strong pressure on Zhuge County, and his guess was that a plan was eventually made.
“Then what are you doing! Gotta go now! “Go and destroy it!”
Jeok Museong raised his voice and clenched his fists.
They are going to chase after them and catch and kill all of them. There was such a rush of life that it seemed as if not a single person would be left behind. It showed how great his hatred for Hyeolcheon was.
“Children come first.”
At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon muttered.
At the same time, the eyes of four people turned to him.
I know that children come first. But if you listen to those words, doesn’t it sound like you have an intention to get involved in this fight?
What kind of change of heart is this?
Sadohak gave a dumbfounded laugh.
“What are you thinking? “Do you think you’re ready to fight?”
“It’s too loud.” Dan Woo-hyeon sighed as he said those words.
I thought that if I left it alone, it would naturally collide and disappear.
In fact, the reason he cared about the Blood Demon Religion was because of the blood demons, and things like the Hyeolcheon whose head disappeared were not something that Dan Woo-hyeon had in mind.
But it’s so noisy.
Twice in Hubei alone.
Problems erupting here and there, including in Sacheon and Hanam, foreshadowed that they would soon hit Honam.
This also contributed to the decision to go to Sacheon.
Namgungcheon smiled and nodded.
“Wait a moment… I’ll just hold on for a moment. “Then the destination is Sichuan Province.”
Everyone nodded.
However, Mu Chenfeng gave a puzzled look.
“Are you going to fight?”
“okay.”
“You didn’t come to look for Geumwangsu?”
“Both.”
“Umm,” Mu Cheonpung swallowed a groan.
His goal is definitely to become the king of gold.
Catching that bastard could be said to be one of my life’s greatest goals, so I didn’t want to waste time.
Moreover, whether that guy named Hyeolcheon controlled the central region or not was of no interest to him.
No matter who controls this midfield, the noise is the same.
“Then I’ll go catch the golden king beast. Everyone, cheer up.”
Mu Tianfeng spoke casually and smiled.
The thought of seeing his face already made me smile.
However, strange glances were sent here and there.
Mu Chenfeng wondered if he had said something wrong, but no matter how much he thought about it, he could not find anything wrong, so he asked back with a questioning look.
“Why are you doing this?”
“What are you talking about?”
“huh?”
“If you’re here too, we should go together.”
“Huh? “The old man said, ‘Geumwangsu….’”
Mu Cheonpung made a bewildered expression at the sudden remark.
If the purposes are so different, wouldn’t it be better to split them apart to fit the purpose?
“It is said that those who do not work should not eat.”
“huh?”
Mu Chenfeng turned his head at the voice he heard.
Dan Woo-hyeon’s gaze was focused.
I saw him smiling sinisterly.
Feeling somewhat anxious, I shivered without realizing it.
“Nobu worked, but…?”
“You worked to make money. Do you know how much it cost to eat, sleep, and come here?”
“Well… well?”
“The overdue amount is over 200 nyang, and the travel expenses alone are 100 nyang.”
“What… what are you talking about! “There’s no way it cost that much money!”
“The price is what the seller originally asked for.”
Sadohak was nearby, picking his nose and helping.
Mu Tianfeng looked at Nangong Tian with a devastated expression. This is because I thought that since these people were normal and decent people, they would say the right things and do the right things.
His eyes were full of a look for help.
“Well… that’s right. “Don’t they say that the one who was tricked is a fool and the one who was harmed is an asshole?”
“What do you mean you were deceived?! “I wasn’t deceived in anything!”
“If you don’t want to pay right away, do the work.”
“Hundreds of millions…
“Pay back with your body.”
Mu Tianfeng hugged his body. Then he looked at Woohyun Dan with an anxious gaze and frowned.
I realized that this was not what he meant. I couldn’t help but sigh, scratching my head with a puzzled expression.
The expressions on the faces of those in the carriage seemed as if they were looking at someone disgusted.
“Oh, I understand, I understand!”
In the end, it was Mu Chenfeng who raised both hands.
At that time, Jang Sam-tae’s voice was heard outside.
“Lord Jang-! The day is slowly getting closer, but… I think I will have to sleep out around here.”
Jang Sam-tae muttered with an expression of disapproval.
As the day went on, there was clouds everywhere, as if it was about to rain. Since this place was devoid of even traces of people, it had an eerie atmosphere as if it were haunted.
I didn’t want to sleep in a place like this, but it didn’t seem like there was a village nearby.
Then I heard Dansomi’s voice.
“oh-! excuse me! “There’s a village over there!”
Even though it was in the back carriage, it was loud enough to naturally pierce everyone’s ears. Dan Woo-hyeon looked out the window and looked for the place Dan So-mi had mentioned.
“There is.”
I could see it in his eyes too.
It wasn’t that big, but there was definitely a village. But it didn’t seem like many people were living there.
“Let’s go there first.”
Danwoohyeon was also a village I didn’t like, but it was better than sleeping on the street, so I slowly started moving towards there.
The village was smaller than I thought.
The people living there seemed to be no older than twenty at most, and there wasn’t a single place that looked like a good house.
Of course, even though it was a small town, there was a place to buy and sell things, but what was strange was that not only the guest houses but also places to buy and sell goods were not open.
In the end, they had to rent someone else’s house to stay, so Kwon Moo-jin and Ma Jang-gang went ahead and knocked on the door of the largest house.
“Oh my, I am so sorry. “We don’t accept outsiders…”
“Is that so? “I would be grateful if you could tell me where this number of people can stay.”
Kwon Moo-jin asked cautiously.
But the old man had a reluctant expression on his face.
As he said, it was obvious that people were wary of outsiders.
Did something happen? Kwon Moo-jin
could not bear to ask the question because the old man
spoke first .
“I guess there’s nothing we can do because we have children. But the atmosphere will be a bit disturbing… since it is a place where people have died.”
“A place where someone died…?”
“That’s right. “But it’s still clean and spacious, so you should be able to spend the night.”
Kwon Moo-jin glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon.
He nodded casually.
“It’s okay to stay there.”
“Hmm… Let’s go straight along this road. Just around the corner, there is a large manor built. Of course, most of it burned and sank…

“Thank you.”
Kwon Moo-jin bowed his head and turned his back.
Soon the door closed with a bang. Judging by the sound of the door being locked, it seemed that he had an extreme dislike for outsiders.
The companions frowned as they looked at the whole situation, but had to move without saying anything. It was because they felt gazes pouring in on them from all directions.
“I feel like some kind of animal.”
“Me too, hehe.”
At Dan Woo-hyeon’s words, Nam Gung-cheon also nodded. I didn’t feel very good because people were staring at me from all over the place.
They were ordinary people who didn’t even know martial arts.
If that wasn’t the case, someone would come forward and talk, but those people who were looking at me with fear didn’t even think about coming out.
So we moved along the road for about a corner.
As if what the old man had said was not a lie, a large manor appeared in front of them.
“You probably mean that place.”
“It looks like someone started the fire…?”
Burnt souls were evident. The faces of the children hiding behind Namgung Sohye’s back turned blue.
Are you saying I have to spend the night in a place like this?
Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps to the point of making me sick.
This was the same for Zhuge Yan and Namgung Sohye.
“Why don’t we all go somewhere else? “I would rather be homeless.”
“It will rain soon. “I don’t think homelessness is a good option.”
Dan Woohyun spoke and stood in front of the gate.
I looked at the sign hanging crookedly.
Antler Gate (度角門).
“Was it a sect? “Do you know anyone?”
Namgungcheon looked at the signboard and asked.
Although I thought I knew about countless sects, this was my first time hearing of the Nokgak sect.
This was the same for Jeokmuseong and Apostolic Studies.
There was no need to mention Mu Tianfeng.
“It looks like it doesn’t exist… How could a sect in a place like this have collapsed so drastically?”
As they opened the screeching gate and entered inside, their eyes were caught by signs of destruction and destruction here and there.
