Episode 335
“Hey, did you hear? The Honam Danga….”
“Ah… Yes, I heard that. I don’t know if it’s true, but…”
“No, I was passing by on a boat and the Geumwangbu people were controlling the place. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be true, right?”
“What is Hong Daein doing…”
Aeyang began to get very excited.
Honam Danga is now a place with absolute influence in moving Akyang.
Not only did they receive favorable reviews from the villagers, but they also knew that the work they had done was in fact for the sake of Akyang, so no one was pointing a finger.
Also, thanks to them, good public order has been maintained until now, but if the Honam Danga is controlled by Geumwangbu, it is virtually as if the Honam Danga will disappear.
Moreover, many people were benefiting from the creation of street vendors, but if Honam Danga, which can be said to be the center of it, disappears, who will run it?
There was anxiety on people’s faces.
Amid all the commotion, a girl stopped walking.
Know about it.
I frowned unconsciously as I heard voices coming from all over the place.
Even so, since I was heading towards Honam Danga, I couldn’t help but be taken aback when I heard a completely unexpected story.
“Is that really true?”
Since it was still an unknown story, I looked for an answer.
But no one gave a clear answer. Either they haven’t thoroughly researched this or it’s the first time they’ve heard of it.
Ju Ji-yak sighed. Then he raised his double wick and opened his mouth.
“Find out now. “Everything!”
[Yes!]
Meanwhile, at that time.
Those who suddenly lost their manor were currently living in Haomun An Street, a little away from Aeyang. Because it is surrounded by mountains and is a rugged terrain that requires entering deep into the mountains, people cannot easily find it and it is also difficult to monitor it.
Dan So-mi, who was lying still, had not long since fallen asleep after shedding tears.
Perhaps because of the shock of losing the house she had built with Dan Woo-hyeon overnight, she was crying so hard that her eyes were swollen.
Maehyang, who was nearby, was watching with a worried expression.
“It’s difficult….”
Nam Gung-cheon smiled awkwardly.
The Jinhwan Guest Cup burned down and Hong Won-chang still could not open his eyes. Fortunately, emergency treatment was provided, so there was no danger to his life, but he was in a position where it would be difficult to move for the time being.
Since I couldn’t let him stay here, I sent him home, but it was a bit difficult to expect his help in solving this problem.
Tuk-tuk –
Sadohak was still frowning, wondering what he was dissatisfied with.
Unable to stay still, he held a wooden stick in his hand and repeatedly hit the ground, showing how uncomfortable he was.
“I’m sorry… I never thought I would come out like this…”
Zhuge Un bowed his head in guilt.
I underestimated Yun Gong too much.
I knew very well the extent of the power of the Mangeum Sangdan, but I had no idea that it would come out in such a despicable way.
The problem was that I had too much confidence.
“I don’t mind, but…”
At that time, Sadohak slowly raised his head and looked at everyone.
Not only Namgungcheon Stream, but also Jeokmuseong Fortress and Majang River, and even Gumuak, which is quietly silent in the corner.
If there was a gold or silver crane here, I might have been pissed at its gaze.
That is how cruel the gaze of Apostolic Studies was.
Tingling-tingling-!
The senses of my whole body were oppressed by the force of sadology. It felt like my skin would be torn apart by the energy.
Grumbling –
Zhuge Yun broke into a cold sweat.
“Who will explain this situation when Dan Woo-hyeon comes back?”
Everyone lowered their heads, speechless. My face was covered in cold sweat.
It’s none other than Dan Woohyun.
Since she was as attached to her home as Dansomi, she would definitely not be happy if she found out that she had been kicked out.
“Sorry… I’ll catch them… Gagging!”
At that time, Hao Wenju and Gu Muyue lowered their heads. However, his words did not last long and he was beaten and rolled around on the floor. Blood burst out from his mouth as he coughed harshly.
“What are you doing? Isn’t your job to keep an eye on those who are targeting Honam Danga and give them information? But you didn’t know? “Say that!”
The momentum of apostolate spread like a storm.
The absolute one who rules the Demonic Cult.
When the figure that had never been seen before appeared, everyone held their breath in astonishment.
This is the true form of the person called Demon Emperor.
“Sleep and stop. “What more can I say about what has already happened?”
“Yes, there are times like this and times like that.”
In the end, the only people who could stop him were Jeok Mu-seong and Nam Gung-cheon.
As they spoke and released their momentum, the energy of apostolic science that had spread in all directions was dissipating little by little.
However, the energy of the two men could not completely suppress Sadohak. Just by looking at that alone, it was clear that there was a gap between Apostle Hak and these two people.
“joy!”
In the end, Sadohak raised both hands.
Although it was a situation that made him angry, there was no doubt that he also failed to properly prepare for this situation.
“With this, the Mangeum Sangdan has taken over the entire Aeyang. “The good news is that the golden ring platform didn’t fall?”
Nam Gung-cheon nodded to Jeok Museong’s question.
The Golden Crane was now moving towards the Demonic Bridge.
Now the only thing left was the top of the gold ring, so I had to consider myself lucky that it didn’t collapse.
“So you’re not saying we’re just going to suffer like this, are we?”
Sadohak’s eyes turned to Zhuge Yun.
The responsibility for not doing this properly lies with Zhuge Un. It was good to make money by creating street vendors, but it was a mistake to not understand their intentions in advance.
The one who knew it best was Zhuge Un.
“of course. “My pride won’t allow me to just let things go like this.”
Zhuge Yun calmly nodded.
Although it was a situation where everything was lost, it did not mean that everything was just lost. Mangeum Trading Company is also the one who gave the excuse.
Even if we cut the line called Hong Won-chang, won’t there be another power like that?
If he believes so, Yun Gong has not yet properly grasped the power of Honam Danga.
Zhuge Un quietly stood up from his seat.
This time, he was planning to corner Yun Gong and eat him for sure.
His eyes shone colder than ever.

“Oh my…”
“Ha ha ha…”
Jang Sam-tae and Namgung So-hye, who were sitting down in an unknown place, were panting and frowning. How many days did the cat-and-mouse chase continue?
Jang Sam-tae, who was on his way to find Dan Woo-hyeon, was unable to escape the Honam region due to Namgung So-hye’s sword, and was just circling around.
I don’t know where this place is, but it didn’t seem to be far from Akyang.
“Oh, stop chasing me!”
“That’s why I can’t go any further!”
“Hey c’mon! “What kind of woman is this squishy?”
“Who are you talking about?”
Namgung Sohye raised her sword. It was clear that if he didn’t correct it, he would cut it down with a single sword.
Although his skills have improved somewhat, he is not enough to beat Namgung So-hye, so Jang Sam-tae frowns and keeps his mouth shut.
“Ugh, I shouldn’t have said anything… Why are you chasing me and making a fuss, why don’t I just leave it alone?”
“But how do you know where Confucius went and follow him!”
At those words, Jang Sam-tae made a pious expression. As if it was natural, he quietly closed his eyes and looked in awe like a believer in God.
“He and I are connected heart to heart. “Wherever he goes, I will go; wherever I go, I will follow him.”
“This is crazy…”
Namgung Sohye shook her head with a dumbfounded expression.
Even if a person goes crazy, he or she is definitely crazy.
Lately, I haven’t been able to eat properly and I’ve been working hard, so I felt like I was completely out of my mind.
“No, it’s real?”
“Yes, yes, yes. Then, it won’t matter if I go back to Sega because that’s where he is.”
“…it has no meaning anymore since you are not there.”
“Damn it…”
Namgung Sohye momentarily covered her mouth.
By nature, he had a gentle personality and did not swear, but as he dealt with Jang Sam-tae, harsh words came out without him realizing it.
Namgung Sohye blushed bright red.
Jang Sam-tae looks at her like that, haha! I laughed.
“You are becoming like us now.”
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
Namgung Sohye let out a loud noise and frowned. However, I felt like I was becoming more and more like Jang Sam-tae and the others, and a feeling of uneasiness crept in without me even realizing it.
Namgung Sohye crossed her eyebrows as if she had a headache. It’s a feeling that can’t be described.
The moment you are about to say something with an annoyed expression.
Namgung So-hye and Jang Sam-tae’s heads quickly turned.
Dagdaukdaukdaukdaukdaukdaukdauk!
The sound of horses’ hooves was heard in the distance.
It was not the sound of one or two people moving, but of many people moving on horseback. Also, the ground was shaking, so the number of people was not more than a few people.
Jang Sam-tae and Namgung So-hye held their breath and hid themselves as the sound was so strong that it made them wonder if a war had broken out somewhere.
Military or not, it was best to avoid encountering such groups as much as possible.
Not long after looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a considerable number of people moving around.
Those wearing iron armor.
The sight of it moving forward, filled with ghostly energy, was terrifying to those who watched it.
Although they wore iron armor, they did not appear to be soldiers because they did not hold any flags.
Rumble-!
They started moving all at once toward one place.
The bizarre appearance and felt force made even Namgung Sohye feel intimidated.
“Ghosts….”
Namgung So-hye immediately noticed their identity.
There were beings wearing iron armor in the Demonic Cult, but they always had the emblem symbolizing the Demonic Cult engraved on their black armored chests.
Of course, they also had patterns engraved on them.
They were not demonic cults, but had images of vicious ghosts on their chests, and not only had swords strapped to their waists, but also weapons that were hard to find in the martial arts, such as long spears and bows.
This was similar to the ghost I had only heard about through rumors.
“That’s a tattoo? “Are you talking about the place that is rumored to be the hidden power of the Mangeum Sangdan?”
Namgung Sohye nodded slightly.
It was rumored that the ghost was one of the powers that protected the Mangeum Sangdan, but it was not clear whether it actually existed or not.
Namgung Sohye’s mouth trembled.
As I watched their backs passing by, I was overcome by an inexplicable feeling of anxiety. Finally, she muttered with a firm expression as if she had decided on something.
“Let’s… chase after them.” Namgung So-hye quickly grabbed Jang Sam-tae by the neck as he tried to run away.
Jang Sam-tae, who couldn’t even make a sound, struggled in her grasp.
Return to War
