< The Return of the God of War Side Story Episode 87 >
The strange feeling of anxiety does not go away easily.
Yuk Cheol-wan, who pushed forward no matter what happened, was sitting on the throne feeling something strange. In front of him, two men were bowing their heads, and these were the two remaining Four Emperors of the Cult of Heaven and Earth.
The momentum is no less than that of all of them.
Although he was prostrating, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the energy naturally flowing out of him was comparable to that of the Ten Lords, and from his deeply bowed appearance, one could sense an absolute loyalty that others did not have.
They are the absolute power that leads Cheonjigyo and can be said to be Yuk Cheol-wan’s closest associates.
“Is Seongju alive?”
“I can barely breathe. Because he told me to do so…”
Hwang Do-jin, one of the Four Emperors, opened his mouth.
He is always by Jeok Museong’s side, guarding him as if he were helping him, but in reality, he is waiting for the day when he will die at any time according to Yuk Cheol-wan’s orders.
“Okay, okay, you shouldn’t die yet. A little more… the power of Safa must come to me.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“…There won’t be any piercing of the blood vessels, right?”
“You can let it go. “We have confirmed several times that it is a poison that can only be found in Nanman and for which there is no antidote or cure.”
“Okay…”
Hearing Hwang Do-jin’s words, Yuk Cheol-wan sighed in relief and relaxed his shoulders. Since you can trust what he says, not anyone else, I think this creeping anxiety is also unfounded.
“And…”
“Yes!”
At that time, Yuk Cheolwan’s eyes turned and at the same time, the voice of the man who was prostrating next to him was heard. He is also one of the Four Emperors of Cheonjigyo.
Not only is he tall and bulky, but his entire body looks as solid as a rock. His eyes were also so sharp that it seemed like no one would meet his eyes if he walked down the street.
million ryang.
When it comes to fists and strength, the second thing is that it is said to be sad.
Excluding the cult leader Yuk Cheol-Wan, he is a person with excellent martial arts skills who is thought to be the strongest person in the Cult of Heaven and Earth.
“What happened?”
“Recently, their movements have been detected, and they say they have entered Shanxi.”
“Shanxi? “You mean here?”
“yes!”
Can we truly say this is a coincidence?
From Honam to Hubei, Xijiang, Tianshan, and now Shanxi. It slowly approached from the tail, to the body, and now to the head, as if it were someone chasing Heaven and Earth.
No matter where or how you look at it, you cannot say that this is a coincidence. Then, it occurred to me that the ominous feeling I still felt might have been caused by them.
Yuk Cheol-wan, lost in thought for a moment, turned his gaze to look at Hwang Do-jin.
“What about the Honam side?”
“…No contact.”
“Huh…”
A sigh escaped Yuk Cheol-wan’s mouth as he closed his eyes tightly. It’s not only that they came to Shanxi, but there is no contact from those who were sent to Honam?
I realized that this was the true nature of that ominousness.
“Can you move Emperor Wu?”
“If it is the order of the religious leader… I will definitely carry it out.”
Hwang Do-jin knows.
Sapa’s cunning.
In this situation, where even the leaders of the Imperial City are already playing into the hands of the Cult of Heaven and Earth, no one will be able to refuse the orders of the cult leader.
They bowed their heads before the Church of Heaven and Earth in order to gain strength and power, and with the poison they obtained through that, they brought down the Red Army and gained their current power.
If this fact is revealed, the Safa people will never remain silent, so there is no way to escape from the shadow of Cheonjigyo.
“Move Emperor Wu, capture them, and bring them back. Also, you must not miss even one small item from them and bring it with you.”
“number of people!”
Yuk Cheol-wan, who watched the two people disappear, unconsciously clenched his fists and took a breath. The ominous feeling creeping up does not go away.
What on earth is going on?
It was an ominous feeling that I had never felt even before, even though I had acquired the secret rank of the King of the Great Law and learned it all the way up to this point.
* * *
“Wow, there are so many people.”
Jang Sam-tae, who was walking along the streets of Chengdu, looked around and stuck out his tongue. It is natural that Seongdo has more people and buildings than other places, but recently, only small villages have visited and they have not been able to get used to the crowds.
Plus, most of them look scary.
There are people who look like bandits and there are people who look like weasels.
Most of the people who pretended not to like me, could be said to be the central city of Sapa, where people with bad tempers gather.
It felt like I might get stabbed if I made eye contact incorrectly.
But what kind of party is this?
Although she is wearing a hat and covering herself with cotton, Namgung So-hye’s naturally exposed appearance tends to attract people’s attention, and since there are even elderly people wearing strange masks, even children passing by stop and look at her.
Everyone’s eyes were on them.
“It’s burdensome….”
“Hehe – don’t feel bad about it. “Isn’t this an unavoidable situation?”
Namgungcheon tried to smile.
That too is equally burdensome.
Moreover, isn’t this place a sacred place of Sapa, like Maqiao? If you make a mistake, the whole Sapa people will come at you with swords.
“I think that’s the guesthouse.”
At that time, Jang Sam-tae looked at a guest and his eyes sparkled. A large guesthouse standing tall in the middle of the street. Even at first glance, I have a strong feeling that it is a bit expensive.
There seemed to be a lot of people coming and going and the food seemed to be quite tasty.
Just thinking about it made my mouth water.
“You look okay.”
Even in Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes, it doesn’t look bad.
However, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, perhaps because he felt that it was expensive. There is nothing worse than spending a lot of money on eating and sleeping.
“Let’s go now!”
At that time, Dan So-mi took the initiative and led Dan Woo-hyeon by the arm. It feels more comfortable to be in a guesthouse than to be stared at in the middle of the street.
Moreover, Geum Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong were at the back, looking around with their faces covered, so they wanted to go to a place where people could not see them as quickly as possible.
“Haha! “Then I’ll go in first and make room for you!”
Jang Sam-tae’s excited expression was infinitely bright.
Since I only visited small villages, I didn’t remember eating good food. So, when we arrive at Seongdo after a long time, we will prepare a plentiful table and drink good drinks.
Then, if you’re lucky, you might be able to quietly go out alone.
I even bought new clothes to make up for my previous failure, so I went inside, determined to go to a good place this time.
“Hehe, I’m really excited.”
“What kind of plan is this again?…”
Namgung So-hye looked at the door of the room where Jang Sam-tae entered with an expression of complete disbelief. Whenever that person comes out with that kind of feeling, an accident always happens.
I thought it might be like that this time too.
at that time.
The door burst open.
“Ahhh…!”
Jang Sam-tae finally appeared, trembling with a dead expression on his face. Perhaps it was because they looked as if they had seen a ghost, but no one could hide their curiosity.
“Aaaahhh-!”
“Hey?! Where are you going?”
And at that moment, he started running away with a bloodless face as if he had gone crazy, and the speed was so fast that not even Namgung So-hye could chase after him.
“What… what on earth?”
“Hehe, I guess I’ve finally come to my senses.”
Nangong Cheon and Nangong Xiaohye looked at the place where Jang Samtae had disappeared, with expressions of incomprehension. It was thought that he would return soon, but there was hardly any news of Jang Sam-tae who disappeared.
And then.
“ah?!”
Dansomi’s short exclamation was heard.
When everyone’s eyes naturally turned towards the entrance of the guest house, only then did people realize why Jang Sam-tae had run away in such a hurry.
“Maehyang-nim?!”
The person standing at the entrance with his arms crossed is definitely Maehyang. His expression was not only cold, but also as if he had a ghostly spirit.
Nam Gung-cheon and Sadohak fell silent, and Dan Woo-hyeon secretly turned his head. At the end of his gaze was Kwon Moo-jin, smiling awkwardly.
“ha ha ha. Oh, it’s been a while, matriarch.”
“…You managed to come here.”
“Because I am confident that you will be here. “I have some things to say…”
“Really?”
Dan Woohyun nodded lightly and moved.
Mae-hyang, who was still glaring at the people with her arms crossed, flinched unconsciously as Dan Woo-hyeon got closer and moved to the side.
I wanted to say something loudly, but it wasn’t easy.
“This… human…!”
“Mae Sojeo… Isn’t it time to give up?”
As Namgung Sohye, who soon followed behind, sighed, Maehyang’s sharp gaze fell on her. Namgung So-hye shrugged her shoulders, as if the woman’s cold eyes were scary even for the same woman.
“really-! Isn’t that too much? “You can’t believe you left home while I was gone…!”
“Hehe, I can’t believe I left home… I was just on a pleasure trip.”
“That’s right, we were also surprised that Confucius suddenly spoke.”
Mae-hyang held on to Dan Woo-hyeon and vomited out the words she couldn’t say. Nam Gung-cheon and Sadohak cleared their throats, perhaps feeling awkward, and quietly entered the guesthouse, followed by Geum Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong.
And at that moment, Maehyang’s eyes turned sharply towards Namgung Sohye again.
“Who are those people?”
“Oh, that’s… These are people who come in as guests because they have work to do.”
scrounger? Are you a foodie?
Maehyang slowly turned her head and looked at the two people going inside. In particular, when he looks at Geum Geum-ran, his eyes are like those of a wild beast, which is because he suspects that he may be in some kind of relationship with Jang Sam-tae.
“Ahaha, it’s not like that, don’t worry, sister. Rather, let’s go in! “I’m so hungry right now…”
At that time, it was none other than Dan So-mi who sneaked in between Namgung So-hye and Mae-hyang. It was a common occurrence at home for him to constantly lose his temper and push Namgoong Sohye out, and whenever that happened, he naturally stepped in and intervened between the two.
“Yeah… that’s how it should be…”
Maehyang couldn’t continue speaking.
I wanted to pour out what was inside me a little more, but I couldn’t keep complaining that Dansomi was hungry.
The moment the three people entered the guest room again.
Dan So-mi, who was in the middle, noticed someone and raised her eyes wide.
“Ah… uncle?!”
What she sees is Bi Cheon-woong, who has the same blunt expression as Dan Woo-hyeon. As he drank tea, he made eye contact with Dan So-mi, and a slight smile appeared on his face, which usually did not change.
“…You’ve grown a lot.”
“Wow! long time no see!”
Soon, Dan So-mi jumped into Bi Cheon-woong’s arms.
Kwasik!
And at that moment, the table where Dan Woo-hyeon was sitting cracked.
