Episode 394
“Wow… everything is broken.”
These were the words Dansomi uttered when she first saw that place.
Judging from the remnants scattered here and there, it was clear that a fairly large building had been built, but it was all collapsed except for one place.
It also appeared to be a stable.
Burnt marks were evident, and faded blood stains were visible everywhere.
Namgung Sohye, Jegal Yeon, and Mae Hyang hurriedly took the children and headed to the stables.
I don’t want to show these traces.
If I had known it would be this bad, it might have been better to just sleep out in the rain. Isn’t sleeping in a carriage another option?
Namgung Sohye had a dissatisfied expression on her face.
“It’s extermination.”
Sadohak and Jeokmuseong looked around and told such a story.
The traces around suggested that all the people here had died. No one seemed to have escaped, and there were no signs of resistance.
They would not have even guessed that they were dying.
“He is a tremendous expert. “It could either be similar to mine or just a piece of paper different.”
Mu Tianfeng muttered in understanding.
Although many traces have been erased, if we only look at and interpret the things that have not disappeared, he will undoubtedly be a person of the same caliber as Ohwang.
Why did such a person kill people in a place like this?
I couldn’t understand.
“It’s Salhwang.”
At that time, Zhuge Un muttered.
I’ve seen something like this in the past. A sect that was exterminated without even being able to resist or even know that they were dying.
The Murim Alliance, which was investigating the traces, concluded that the opponent was Salhwang and gave up all pursuit.
It is not good to bump into Salhwang. It’s the same no matter who you are.
They say they are active on the outside and will look for a way to catch them, but in the case of Salhwang Bicheonwoong, they are so secretive and fog-like that it is very difficult to follow their movements.
I couldn’t even tell how many people would be sacrificed.
Therefore, Nam Gung-cheon and Zhuge Un decided to cover up the incident with the consent of the old file room and the eight major families.
“Hmm… I guess it’s true.”
Namgungcheon also discovered several traces similar to the traces of salhwang he had seen in the past. Just looking at it was enough to let me know that it was Bicheonwoong’s actions, so there was no need to think about anything else.
“Who is Bicheonwoong?”
“Don’t you know Salhwang Bicheonwoong?” “Ah… that strange guy?”
Mu Tianfeng made a bewildered expression.
Twenty years ago.
Even back then, he was a young guy with the name Ohwang. Considering his age, this was something that could never have happened, but considering how he rose to the rank of Five Emperors, there was nothing particularly strange about it.
The person who was called Salhwang at the time twenty years ago.
This is because the person who controlled the darkness and was revered by the assassins was not a hero of the devil.
“It was huge. “The rumor spread widely.”
“Hey, me and these two saw him right in front of us.”
That happened before Mu Tianfeng robbed the imperial family.
Leaders of foreign powers, including Jeong Sima, gathered together in Shanxi and talked about the Wulin competition. The reason was to stop fighting for a long time and join hands to train younger students.
This happened in a situation where those who agreed to this were gathered together.
Bicheonwoong appeared out of nowhere and cut off the heads of the two leaders of Saeoe and Namman, including Binggungju of the North Sea. Also, there was a person there who was called Salhwang at the time, and he too was unable to even resist and his head dropped.
Bicheonwoong disappeared from the spot and no one was able to catch him.
So many people say this. The best among the five emperors is undoubtedly Sadohak and Namgungcheon, but if they make a sneak attack, they may be defeated by Salhwang Bicheonwoong.
“At that time, even Jeongsama and Sae-oe… a huge number of pursuers followed behind, but only a small number of those who returned alive.”
“I remember. After that, no matter what happened, no one tried to get involved with Bicheonwoong.”
Sadohak made a dumbfounded expression and spat out words in vain.
An unbelievably large number of people died to think that they were killed by at most one assassin. The Demonic Cult was also one of the organizations that suffered the blow, so how could it not have been embarrassing?
It was also the moment when the pride of the Heavenly Demon Cult was crushed.
“We suffered a lot because of that. “Didn’t they call all of them, including Jeongmasae, and try to kill them all at once?”
Jeok Mu-seong frowned.
In the end, as important people were assassinated in the front yard of Emperor Whangseong, it was natural that the arrow would fall on Sapa.
So Sapa had to hold his breath for a while.
We had to appease those who tried to attack us at any moment, and we also had to reserve greater strength in preparation for any possible situation.
“Because Sapa was weak at that time. “There was no such thing as the Five Emperors.”
Sadohak picked his ears and looked at Jeokmuseong.
In the end, he was given the name of Five Emperors, but it was a nickname that came about accidentally when Mu Cheonpung was captured by Sadohak.
It was never something that Jeok Mu-seong himself achieved.
Knowing that gaze, Jeok Mu-seong frowned.
“Anyway, the fact that he is a great expert remains unchanged.”
“How could someone like that do something like this….”
“Hmph, what can these bastards do? “It must have been done for money.”
“But you personally went out of your way to annihilate a sect like this? “Isn’t that even funnier?” The assassins always move with money.
Salhwang Bicheonwoong will be no exception.
However, what is strange is that he himself, rather than Salhwang’s subordinates, started a sect of this scale. It was difficult to believe that this was the action of the head of a huge organization called Salgak.
Even if the client had hoped that Bicheonwoong would come forward in person, how could he possibly pay such a huge amount of money? The person who could move that amount of money would probably be in the top five places in the world.
“Although he commands Salgak, Salhwang is famous for traveling alone. “Maybe that’s why… but it’s still strange.”
“It’s good anyway. It’s going to rain while we’re chatting. “Gather dry wood, make a fire, and get ready for bed.”
Even though Dan Woo-hyeon looked around, he didn’t feel much interest. It was quite natural for people to die in this martial arts world, and it was not something that would necessarily upset anyone.
Dan Woo-hyeon walked to the stable and stopped.
He quickly turned his head and his eyes scanned the surroundings.
Taegongjin sighed as he put away his sword.
There was blood everywhere and the surrounding area turned into a bloody scene as if it had been hit by a cannonball. It was so horrific that it was hard to believe that it was something that two people had done.
It was the same for Taegongjin.
Traces of cuts and tears all over the body.
It looks devastated, as if you can tell that there was a fierce battle.
He cried and vomited a bowl of blood.
“Oh my…”
Tae Gong-jin’s eyes were full of sadness.
What would have happened if it had been pushed as is?
Most likely, one of the two would have died.
But Tae Gong-jin knows who died. It seemed like Cheon Mukwang was trying his best, but unlike Tae Gong Jin, who was hiding his last moves, he gave his all.
The person who became a corpse was undoubtedly Tae Gong-jin himself.
Tae Gong-jin, with a bitter smile, very naturally turned his gaze and looked in one direction.
He must have realized that someone was coming.
“In the end, you missed it again.”
“Hehehe, are you coming now? “It’s quite late…”
I looked at the woman with slightly trembling eyes.
Nam Joo-ryeon.
The woman with the white sword looked around and sighed heavily. This is because Cheon Mukwang disappeared without a trace even though such a fierce battle took place.
It would have been nice if there were at least blood stains… There were blood stains here and there, meaning they were from a fight, and it was impossible to tell the direction in which they disappeared.
Nam Joo-ryeon walked towards the injured Tae Gong-jin, applied Geumchang medicine and wrapped the wound with a cloth.
“Don’t say that. The only thing that happened was that it came as quickly as possible… The problem was that I found out too late.”
Nam Joo-ryeon couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
Cheon Mukwang is definitely a strong person capable of leading the new Eight Immortals. However, he cannot fight with an upper hand against both Nam Joo-ryeon and Tae Gong-jin.
That’s why I was planning to see a conclusion here today, but I realized it too late and missed the opportunity.
Nam Joo-ryeon let out a small sigh.
“It’s not the time to only focus on Cheon Mu-kwang…”
“All those in the shadow of Cheon Mu-gwang have started their activities. “It will probably emerge from the shadows soon.”
“Hehehe, they’re creeping out one by one.”
“You already expected this, right?”
“The timing is a little bad…” Tae Gong-jin stood up and sighed.
The world is going crazy because of bloodshed. The Jeongdo Murim was destroyed, and the Demonic Church side was not looking very good either. The Eight Immortals who are said to protect the Jungwon martial forest are preoccupied with other things, so who is protecting this martial forest?
Tae Gong-jin sighed.
“In the end, what Emperor Cheonmu wants is our lives and the lives of the gods of war. Even if you stay still, it will crawl out on its own…”
“Then isn’t it too late?…”
“That’s right.”
Tae Gong-jin smiled bitterly.
Even now, the Eight Immortals are chasing those who are in the shadow of Emperor Tian Wu. However, unlike them who are becoming stronger while hiding their appearance, the current Eight Immortals are focusing their efforts on tracking them, so the correct answer would be to stay where they are.
I could never say it was a good situation.
“Did the fox escape safely?”
“I don’t know where it went, but it was a long way… It went well. “Do you have any guesses?”
Nam Joo-ryeon sighed and shook her head.
That fox shouldn’t fall into their hands.
The power that the nine-tailed fox possesses is beyond imagination. The moment it falls into the hands of Emperor Tianwu, he may himself reach the realm of being like a god.
“The Emperor of Heaven is also the Emperor of Heaven, but it seems that he is also targeting Chen Wu-gwang…”
“Aiming? “Is Emperor Tian Wu letting that happen?”
“I don’t know if I know it or not…
I don’t know what Emperor Tian Wu is thinking, so no matter what I think, I can’t come up with an answer.
All they could do was leave it to their imaginations and make guesses.
“Then I hope you escaped safely. It was too late for us to chase after him…”
Nam Joo-ryeon ate her mouth with regret.
If he had protected Cheon Mukwang or the fox, he would have achieved one of his goals, but it is a great regret that both of them flew away.
“Don’t be too discouraged. “There will be another opportunity someday.”
“is it so. Thinking about it only makes me feel bad… so let’s move on. “Everyone will be waiting so eagerly.”
“Is everyone gathered together?”
“sure. “I think Ryu Hwa found something.”
Taegongjin trembled at the mention of Ryuhwagun. But eventually, he nodded as if he understood something.
“I see… He’s still a very resourceful person…”
“It should be a good story.”
Taegongjin moved slowly and followed Namjuryun.
Tae Gong-jin, who was staring at her ahead for a moment, looked at something behind her.
Even though it was clear that nothing was visible and no one was there, he looked at me as if he was looking at something.
He turned his gaze again and clicked his tongue softly.
