Episode 166
Dan Woo-hyeon went forward through the bushes.
The place where he was located was Hyeongsan (衡山), a few days’ drive southwest from Jangsa.
It was also the place where my older brother, a midwife who was once part of the Gupa Ilbang group, existed.
Now that its age has expired, it no longer exists, but it is still a place that remains in the minds of many people.
It was no exaggeration to say that they were the pride of Honam, as they were the Hyeongsan faction that once claimed to be the strongest in Honam.
Although it was not able to recover its power after being destroyed by the Demonic Cult, thanks to that, the communal faction took over the name of the nine factions.
Dan Woo-hyeon stood in front of that shabby place.
I glanced at the half-tilted signboard and turned my gaze toward the door. The shabby door also seems to be in no condition to welcome guests.
After staring at a place that did not have any trace of the former glory of the Hyeongsan Sect for a while, he carefully opened the door and went inside.
Squeak –
The sound of scratching one’s ears was enough to guess the condition.
I wondered if anyone could be in a place like this, but I could definitely feel the presence of people inside. I walked inside without hesitation, one step at a time. I could see the remains of broken and damaged buildings scattered here and there.
Occasionally, blood stains that turned black were also seen.
In that place, Dan Woo-hyeon kept his eyes on a building.
It is the largest place that appears to be the main office.
Most of the other places had collapsed, but that place was in fairly good condition. It was as if someone had been renovating the place, maintaining even a little bit of the dignity of the now-vanished Hyeongsan faction.
Dan Woo-hyeon walked slowly towards that place.
When I passed through the two doors to enter the main office and finally stood in front of it, I saw a blurry human image inside.
The person kneeling was burning incense.
In front of it were numerous memorial tablets.
A strong smell of incense and a memorial tablet.
The memorial tablet undoubtedly belongs to the disciples of the Hyeongsan sect.
So, is that Inyoung also a member of the Hyeongsan faction?
Dan Woo-hyeon made a sign and came inside.
“Who are you?”
The voice of the man kneeling was serious. Although his face was not visible because he was looking at the memorial tablet with his back turned, his voice felt quite young.
The man, who seemed to have just passed this point, firmly grasped the sword that had been neatly placed by his side with one hand.
If it was an enemy, it would be merciless. Dan Woo-hyeon looked at it and opened his mouth.
“I’m looking for Gumuak.”
“…What do you mean?”
“Haomun’s Wenjura, right?”
visor-!
The sword was drawn.
In an instant, the drawn sword flew in front of Dan Woo-hyeon’s nose. It was like a black thunderbolt that flew by with no time to avoid it.
One sword stopped right in front of Dan Woo-hyeon’s head and could not move.
This is because Dan Woo-hyeon’s sword, which had already been extended, easily blocked the lake.
The man’s eyes widened.
‘You can block a sword attack in that split second?’
How can I express this surprise in words, as I was able to destroy a move just by lightly pressing the tip of my sword with the tip of my sword.
“It’s the inner workings of a prestigious political faction. “I heard there was a sect here in Hyeongsan… Are you the last descendant of that sect?” The nervous man couldn’t answer anything.
But that alone was enough for Dan Woo-hyeon.
This is because it was possible to determine the truth of the other person just by looking at the slightly shaking eyes.
“You’re Gu Muak, the lord of Haomen, right?”
“…What business do you have for me?”
Gumuak sighed and withdrew his sword.
The opponent is a master.
He was also a person with skills that could not even be compared to his own. It was only one collision, but I definitely felt the gap.
If the author had his way, he would die without even swinging his sword properly.
In such a situation, swinging a sword with courage was nothing more than a struggle.
The moment Gu Muak realized this, he gave up everything and burst into laughter.
“Buying and selling information?”
“Hao Wen is always like that. That’s how you make a living…”
“But it seems like you didn’t know that there was some information that shouldn’t be touched.” puck-!
Dan Woo-hyeon’s sword swung in an instant and hit him in the stomach. On the surface, it was nothing more than a light tap on the sheath of the sword, but Gumuak’s body flew away with ridiculous ease and ended up in a corner.
Quadadadang-!
The furniture that was fine broke and I fell around.
Gumuak’s face turned blue as he fell down with a groan.
“Cough!”
A small amount of blood poured out of the mouth, suggesting that he had suffered internal injuries.
“It’s been a lot of hard work managing the rogues. “Let me rest now.”
Jump and jump.
Dan Woo-hyeon’s voice was full of power.
I felt the will to kill the opponent at all costs.
Gu Muak, who was lying down and shaking all over, twitched his lips.
I didn’t live so stubbornly to die in a place like this. I forced myself to stand up, steadying my stumbling body.
He raised his sword and aimed it at Dan Woo-hyeon.
Even though they are not even an opponent, a cornered rat can bite even a cat.
I knew it was impossible to even bite, but I wanted to at least swing a knife in the air.
“Haa… who are you?”
“Honam Danga.” Gu Muak frowned. I’ve heard of it before.
Since he also stayed in Honam, there was no way he would not have heard the name of Honam Danga.
We tried to investigate in Haomun several times to find out its identity, but it was a place so thoroughly hidden that nothing came out.
Because they were unable to collect much information, everyone in the information handling area treated the Honamdan family as low-class.
This means that it is a place that only costs a small amount of money at most.
A master like this was hiding in a place like that?
Although he cannot perfectly gauge the other person’s abilities, seeing that he treats himself like a child, it is assumed that he has already escaped the status of the Ten Masters and has risen to the level of the Seven Saints.
“Isn’t it too much to sell common information that doesn’t make money?”
“Didn’t I tell you? “There are some places you shouldn’t touch.”
“I didn’t know!”
“Now that I know, it’s okay.” Gu Muak’s expression, which had been smiling in a hollow smile, hardened.
No matter what I say, it doesn’t work.
The opponent has already come to kill Hao Wen’s Wen Ju.
Now that I felt it clearly, the only thing I had to think about was a plan to overcome this situation.
But is that even possible?
There was nothing I could do with words.
The same was true for skill.
So, shall we remove the poison remaining in our arms?
No, the moment your hand goes into your sleeve,
your entire body will become an egg and turn into a piece of meat.
With that sense of crisis, my mind grew colder and colder.
The other person’s eyes seemed to be looking at a dead person, not a living person.
In that case, there was only one thing Gumuak could do.
He adjusted his grip on the sword and took a deep breath.
From the moment he learned martial arts, Hansoo vowed never to use them.
If even this failed, there was no more hope.
Gumuak gritted his teeth and roughly slammed his sword down on the floor.
For a moment, his solemn spirit was greatly shaken by the wind.
Soon, Gumuak came.
“Please save me!” begged for his life.
Dan Woo-hyeon looked at Gu Muak with blank eyes for a moment.
It was the first time in his life that he begged for his life so earnestly. The shock was considerable because even Jang Sam-tae, who did not know how to do martial arts properly, did not do this.
“Is a warrior begging for his life?”
“You mean unmanned? Daehyeop I am the owner of Haomun. “If you are a business that buys and sells information, it is absurd to say that it is unmanned.” “Really! If you were to catch a hundred Wulin people in the central plains and ask them if Hao Wen was a martial artist, they would all shake their heads. So, as the head of that place, I am not a military person!”
He made an excuse and let out a groveling laugh.
Although he looked similar to Jang Sam-tae, he was somehow different.
“I heard that the Hyeongsan faction is a prestigious political faction…”
“The Hyeongsan faction? It was a martial arts skill from Hyeongsan that I picked up by chance and became familiar with, and I came here because of that fate. “If I were a member of the Xingshan sect, I wouldn’t have entered Haomun.”
If you think about it, it was correct.
Although it is said to have collapsed, the Hyeongsan Sect was a prestigious political sect.
The last descendant of a place like that is the leader of the Haomun gangsters?
If he had learned martial arts properly and went to the Murim Alliance, he would have been treated worse than Haomun and would have had the opportunity to make a name for himself or establish a new sect.
A sigh escaped Dan Woo-hyeon’s mouth.
“This is my first time seeing someone like you again.”
“This is my first time meeting someone like Daehyeop.”
That’s right, thanks to Hao Wen’s intelligence, he has been avoiding all those who appear to be experts. There was no way a master like this would suddenly appear in front of us one day, and since the martial arts people had a tendency to avoid Hao Mun, it was rare for them to meet him.
Gu Muak’s eyes flashed as he saw Dan Woohyun slightly hesitant.
“Sit here, Daehyeop! “I will at least bring you a cup of tea.”
I straightened the overturned table and wiped off the dust with my clothes. I brought a chair that looked good and pushed it around, so it was like watching Jeomsoy.
“When I was young, I was the best seller in the neighborhood.” Dan Woo-hyeon was even more speechless at Gu Muak’s shamelessness.
I thought that if Jang Sam-tae were here, they would be a very good pair.
I claimed that I was not an unmanned person, but the head of an organization showed himself like this?
I almost wanted to show this to the Haomundos.
But before I knew it, the sense of living disappeared.
Dan Woo-hyeon sat on the chair without any problem.
“Hehe, just wait a moment and I’ll serve you some delicious tea.”
“There’s a car in a place like this?”
“No, who am I? This is Haomun Wenju! Even if you live in such a remote place, you will have everything to eat, wear, and use. That’s why I became the leader!”
“…Right.”
When Dan Woo-hyeon nodded in understanding, Gu Mu-ak smiled and walked out, saying he would bring tea.
The place his feet were headed was the kitchen.
Although it was quite a distance from the main office where Dan Woo-hyeon was located, he walked faster, perhaps trying to get in the car as quickly as possible.
Finally, the moment we arrived at the kitchen.
Gumuak turned his back.
There was a distance of dozens of pages between us and the main office.
‘Let’s jump!’
Gumaak ran quickly.
There was no way there would be a car in a place like this.
‘I’m glad he’s stupid.’
The smile on Gumuak’s face did not disappear from the joy of making fun of the other person.
Now I was planning to get out of here as quickly as possible and hide in a place no one would know.
And I will catch the guy who revealed his location to that guy and separate his flesh and bones.
The moment when you feel like revenge. Crack!
“Oops!”
The sight before my eyes turned black from the sudden shock.
Gumuak fell to the floor without even being able to scream properly.
My mind was gradually sucked into darkness. Finally, just before I lost consciousness, I heard Dan Woo-hyeon’s laughable voice.
“There was a guy just like you. Next time, think a little more before running away.”
‘Damn it….’
