Episode 867 This is a land of volcanoes. (2)
“Okay. “There is no time to rest.”
Hong Dae-gwang sighed deeply.
It was a huge mistake to think that life might become a little easier now that the Hwasan God Dragon, who thinks as if he were breathing, has returned.
As the huge storm in the center disappears, small gusts of wind keep blowing here and there. Each one was nothing special, but it seemed like even ten bodies wouldn’t be enough to handle it all.
Hong Dae-gwang glanced around, taking a quick look around.
‘No?’
Of course, there is no one else here now. It’s a crumbling palace, but anyway, this is Buntaju’s office.
Nevertheless, he kept looking left and right as if something was pricking him, and took out a gourd from under a desk that was about to collapse.
Pook.
I uncorked the bottle and sniffed it with my nose stuck in the bottle.
“Ugh…. I’m killing you.”
Because I was so busy, I didn’t have time to relax and have a drink.
‘When was the last time you smelled alcohol?’
It felt like it had been a month at most. The beggars below all had their eyes wide open, so I noticed that they were taking the time to drink. However, you can’t say you want to drink while working.
So even at times like this…
It was just when Hong Dae-gwang was drooling and was about to bring the bottle to his mouth.
bang!
“Aaaah!”
Hong Dae-gwang, startled by the sound of the door opening violently as if it were breaking, threw the liquor bottle over his head.
“Lord Bunta!”
The beggar who ran inside frantically opened his mouth blankly as he watched the alcohol flowing down Hong Dae-gwang’s head.
“No, what…”
“…That…”
The beggar, who was looking at Hong Dae-gwang with bleary eyes as if he knew what he was doing, immediately flinched and approached him.
“That’s not important now!”
“Aren’t you angry?”
I thought they would fool their eyes and go on a rampage, accusing me of trying to drink while working.
“An enemy spy has arrived from the headquarters!”
“what? “At the headquarters?”
Hong Dae-gwang’s minor concerns were quickly dispelled.
If it is an enemy spy, this is an emergency communication sent by the headquarters through a special dispatch. Although many incidents have occurred in Henan, Hubei, and Shaanxi in recent years, there has never been a single enemy espionage.
“now? Have you arrived now?!”
“Yes Bunta Lord! “Just now!”
Hong Dae-gwang, who sensed that something big had happened, threw himself on the desk and snatched the red book that the little beggar was holding.
I immediately tore off the seal and read the contents inside.
“…this… this?”
Hong Dae-kwang stuttered and opened his eyes wide.
“Iron Ghost? Hoesan Changgui? Manger swordsman? A murder room at a secret door? The old… The Old Yu Party (九幽黨)? Now wait a minute? who? Single marriage blood count? Damn this! “Single marriage?”
Even that wasn’t all.
“Go, go, Gang… Gangseo Chil-sal?!”
All the blood drained from Hong Dae-gwang’s face.
Each and every one of them are names that are so controversial that they are scary. But these people are all gathered in one place and moving around?
“where? wherever?”
The direction of their movement was not indicated in this record.
Just as Hong Dae-gwang, who had become contemplative, was about to yell something, another beggar burst inside.
“Bu Buntaju! It’s an enemy concubine! “The enemy agent has arrived again!”
“Bring it here now!”
Hong Dae-gwang took the newly arrived book and almost tore it open.
“Ugh…”
The moment he saw the very simple words written inside, he even forgot to breathe.
– Go to Shaanxi (Go to Shaanxi).
“…Seoomseo?”
“You’re coming to Shaanxi?”
“why?”
The complexions of the little beggars also began to turn pale.
“This… this is crazy…”
Hong Dae-gwang’s fingertips holding the red book trembled.
I’ve heard every single name. It is also impossible for anyone who deals with information to know that they moved to Gangbuk to escape the vicious scam.
However, the moment Hong Dae-kwang gathered their names and listed them, he keenly felt how complacent he had been with these names.
If they are scattered across the vast area of Gangbuk, there are only a small number. No matter how strong each of them is, it is difficult to exert great power.
But what if they gather in one place?
‘It’s enough to destroy one sect all at once.’
Considering Sapa’s unique and violent nature, the damage may be more than that.
“Why are these damn crazy people coming to Shaanxi!”
Hong Dae-gwang, who shouted as if he were yelling, jumped up from his seat.
Their intentions are not yet known, but given the situation, even a three-year-old child would be able to understand their purpose.
“support? How was the support? “Request support from the headquarters immediately!”
“Bu Buntaju. “The headquarters has the capacity…”
“What kind of bullshit are you talking about!” Does this seem like a normal situation right now? Don’t you think you should put aside everything else and run here! Request support right away! right now!”
“yes!”
As Hong Dae-kwang shouted loudly, one of the beggars who had become meditative ran outside.
Even at that moment, Hong Dae-gwang’s head was spinning furiously.
‘Where is it? Where are you aiming? ‘It’s probably not the whole of Shaanxi!’
Hong Dae-gwang’s blunt fingertips wandered across the desk without knowing where to go.
“What the damn thing can I know…”
The beggar who had run out at that time came back in with a whiter stomach than when he left.
“Bu Buntaju! “The enemy agent has arrived again.”
“what?”
Hong Dae-gwang’s eyes trembled. I’ve never even heard of someone receiving three scrapbooks in one day.
“Go get it!”
Hong Dae-gwang hurriedly opened the notebook he had received.
“….”
This time it wasn’t the same temple as before.
map.
A bright red straight line is drawn on a small map that briefly depicts the central region.
The ominous line that started in Luoyang spread westward. As he followed the line with his eyes, the line suddenly broke in the middle, but Hong Dae-gwang’s gaze moved to the left where the line was heading and then to the left.
The moment he finally saw the name of a city at the end, a helpless groan escaped Hong Dae-gwang’s mouth.
“…West Coast.”
Cold sweat flowed from my forehead like rain.
Perhaps this news is natural.
Because it’s so obvious what they’re after. I don’t think that many people would have gathered together and taken a walk to Seomseo. Whether their goal is wealth or mayhem, their first target will inevitably be Xi’an, Shaanxi’s largest city.
“Oh, no.”
If Jongnam and Hwasan were both in good health, Safa factions would not dare invade Xian. Xi’an is a city with Jongnam and Hwasan to the south and east.
But now, both factions are in a state of disrepair. In other words, the current Shaanxi is Muju Gongsan, with no proper Daemun faction.
In the meantime, what if they invade Xi’an and commit massacre?
“why! Why you crazy people! why!”
All kinds of swear words came out of Hong Dae-gwang’s mouth.
“Lord Bubunta! How do I do this?”
“….”
Hong Dae-gwang, who was staring into space with his fist clenched, gritted his teeth and said.
“Request support from the headquarters! And request support from Shaolin right now! right now!”
“You mean without going through the headquarters?”
“There is no time for that! At the same time as making a request to the headquarters, send a message straight to Shaolin as well!”
“yes!”
“Aso (兒昭)!”
“yes!”
“Run to Jongnam immediately! Tell the Jongnam guys to unblock the seal and come out! hurry!”
“It’s just one place, Bobonmun Gate…!”
“Now is not the time to argue about that! “Go and knock on the door!”
“yes!”
“Wu Ming (吳明)!”
“yes!”
“Go to Hwayoungmun in Xi’an right now! Inform them of the situation and tell them to unite the factions in Xi’an! These guys are different from the Ten Thousand Gangs that invaded Xi’an before! “Don’t let even one person set foot in Xi’an!”
“All right!”
“You should send a war message to the sects around Xi’an right now! Tell everyone to go to Xi’an! “We must support the sects of Xi’an!”
“yes!”
“in action! Right Now!”
“yes!”
Hong Dae-gwang chewed his lips until they bled.
As much as he wants to run out and run around right away, he has to contact the headquarters here. Without Hwasan and Jongnam, the sects around Xi’an would never be able to stop them, so support from Shaolin or Opening is desperately needed.
‘please please!’
In fact, it is already too late.
The distance from Luoyang to this place is only 500 miles, a distance that would be easily covered in half a day by a warrior at the peak of his life. Even if Shaolin leaves right now, there is no way they can reach Xi’an before them.
That means we have to block them with only our current strength and buy time until Shaolin arrives.
‘Please, just a little faster!’
Hong Dae-gwang got up from his seat and ran outside.
I flung open the door, went out, tilted my head up, and the volcano came into view. The peak was obscured by clouds.
He looked at the scene painfully for a moment, then bit his lip and busily turned around again.
* * *
A red-hot fire is sweeping everything around.
It is not a common sight to see an entire village burning down. Even if the people here are people who don’t care about what’s going on.
The sight of the black smoke emitted from the red fire rising up into the sky and spreading out was as if the scene of hell had been brought to this world.
Black smoke red flames.
And…
blood much thicker and redder than the flames drenches the ground.
“Off…”
The convulsing person who was lying face down in the pool of blood forced his trembling head up.
“Punishment… heavenly punishment… heavenly punishment…”
“Tsk, tsk.”
Gal Cheon-rip chuckled as he looked at the old man glaring at him with bitter eyes.
“You have already received your heavenly punishment, old man. So it must be in a place like this.”
“…Hwahashan calls you….”
Phuuk.
Galcheonrip’s sword pierced the old man’s body and hit the ground.
The old man, who was convulsing, fell limp and dead. Galcheonrip, who pulled out the sword, muttered with a disapproving look on his face.
“The guys in this town are very volcanic. “This guy, that guy, volcano volcano.”
What is strange is that the name that comes out of their mouths is Hwasan, not Jongnam.
‘It’s truly bizarre.’
No matter how Hwasan’s reputation has improved, Seomseo is no different from a land ruled by Jongnam. Why does the name of Hwasan and not Jongnam always appear in their mouths?
“Well, I guess it’s okay.”
Galcheonrip raised his head and looked at the burning village.
And I also clearly caught the sight of the Sapa guys standing in front of them, spewing out their fierce murderous spirit.
The moment he saw the blood soaking their hands, a helpless smile appeared on Gal Cheon-rip’s lips.
‘It’s slowly getting dangerous.’
He licked his lips slowly with his tongue. The bitterness of life that everyone shed made even him tremble.
The evil nature that has been suppressed for a long time is gradually coming out.
Just as a drinker who has endured alcohol for a long time drinks to the point of insanity the day he drinks again, those who have endured slaughter for a while have tasted blood, and no one will be able to stop them today.
“large.”
“know. “Don’t move.”
Galcheonrip’s eyes turned to the west.
“Before we arrive in Xi’an, we will clear out a couple more villages.”
By then, a truly crazy army will have been created.
The army that will drench that big city in blood.
