Chapter 529
< The Return of the God of War Side Story Episode 29 >
Check it out.
Didn’t you?
“….”
“Ah….”
Namgung So-hye, who was looking around, was speechless. Also, the people who were with them all seemed to do the same, looking around and sighing deeply.
There is a village that Jang Sam-tae visited.
However, the buildings were burned down, and the surrounding area had knife marks here and there, reminiscent of a battlefield.
Several bodies were even seen lying around.
Namgung So-hye hurriedly stood to block Dan So-mi’s view, but strangely enough, Dan Woo-hyeon calmly opened his mouth, as if he had no intention of making this situation invisible.
“It’s the work of the martial arts people.”
“Huh… Looks like the fight got pretty big. “Have we been attacked?”
Namgungcheon looked at the traces around him one by one and recreated the situation in his head. Someone has launched an attack on a small village and people have taken up swords to stop it.
“huh?”
“It seems it wasn’t an ordinary village.”
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled and shook his head. Those who died were all martial people. Those who attacked and those who were attacked.
But it could never be an ordinary village, right?
There are many things that stand in the way of everyone in the village being able to perform martial arts. So you never think of being attacked by thieves or bandits.
“Hehe, that’s right. “It’s a sword mark, a trace… There’s no one who hasn’t learned martial arts.”
“No, that’s fine, so let’s find a place to rest. Let’s go, okay?”
Jang Sam-tae looked back at Dan Woo-hyeon and Nam Gung-cheon, who were walking around with interesting expressions as if they were investigators digging into a case, and let out a long sigh.
Just a little more and the sun will set.
Since the village where we originally planned to stay has been devastated, we must drive the wagon again and head to the next village to avoid being left homeless.
But he doesn’t want to listen at all.
I’m sick of being homeless now.
“Look! “This is a place where you can’t just come in!”
At that time, someone came rushing in, making a loud noise. They appeared to be students of a certain sect, as they were wearing blue uniforms and had the word ‘Geommun’ embroidered on their chests.
He hurried over and watched the companions with a wary expression, and Nam Gung-cheon, who had been looking around, stepped forward with a Buddha’s smile on his lips.
“Hehehe, I’m sorry. “I came here to spend the night, but it ended up like this… I was looking around for a while.”
“Get out now! “I don’t want to be misunderstood!”
The man was so confident that he raised his sword and raised his voice loudly. It seemed as if he was expressing that he would have no choice but to draw his sword if he did not listen to his words.
Jang Sam-tae, who was shocked by the sight, tried to step forward, but Namgung So-hye stopped him and shook her head as if to tell him to watch.
“Okay, okay… but what happened?”
“It’s not something you need to know!”
“Hehe, I’m just curious about the old man, so can you tell me?”
Nam Gung-cheon smiled, gently stroking his pure white beard. Perhaps because of his appearance and energy, which would not be surprising even if he were a immortal, the man’s expression suddenly relaxed.
But soon, as if he was facing reality, he quickly shook his head and placed his hand on the sword.
“If you don’t leave immediately, I will have to leave! “Don’t regret it!”
“Hehehe, is that really necessary?”
“This place is managed by prosecutors! Since the matter is serious, I am telling you to go without damaging the scene of the incident any further. Do you understand?!”
The man was confident.
I don’t know what brought them to this place, but trying to damage the site is absolutely unacceptable.
This is because important traces may disappear.
So the man violently pulled out his sword and pointed it at Namgungcheon.
“Hehehehe-”
* * *
“Shut it off….”
The man lying down could not come to his senses.
I thought all I had to do was pull out my sword, aim it at my opponent, and say threatening words with a full-on expression. Since they were a swordsman who had no rivals in this area, they felt like they were the best.
however?
The moment I lightly drew my sword, I lay down.
Suddenly, a huge shock and pain came to my abdomen, and I fell to the floor and lay down before I could come to my senses. I had no idea what was going on.
“Hey you bastard. “I can’t believe you used your hands on a guy like that…”
“Hehe, he returned the threat with a threat. “You use your hands?”
Nam Gung-cheon sat down in front of the man with a bright smile. As if she felt sorry for him while he was moaning, she slowly reached out her hand and pulled up his hair with a kind smile.
“Kwaeok…!”
“Hehehe – do you know what this old man just asked? Or should I ask one more time?”
“Ah… I know… I know…!”
“haha. Yes, yes, I’m glad. “I thought you had to twist at least one finger to open your mouth.”
Creepy-!
The man trembled and hurriedly hid his wrists at a word that gave goosebumps to the point of making his spine tingle. Even though the words had just flowed out of my mouth, I felt as if my hands had already been shattered.
How could someone who looks like someone you would believe to be a descendant of immortals do something like this? The man vowed that even if he died, he would never trust immortals.
“Ha… Grandfather…”
Even Nangong Xiaohye covered her face with both hands at the sight.
The Emperor of the World… beating up people.
Wouldn’t the act of holding up the hair of a fallen person be considered apostolic behavior? Who would look at that person and say that he is the pillar of the political faction, the Emperor of Swords?
I couldn’t raise my face because of embarrassment.
“Is it okay if I ask another question before I can open my mouth?”
“Ah… no. “I will tell you.”
“That’s right, cancer. “Don’t give the old man a hard time.”
The man nodded vigorously.
Namgungcheon’s grip on the hair tightened. It’s as if he’s threatening to never let you go if you lie.
That’s why the man opened his mouth in a hurry.
“This was a branch school of the Cheonji Church… so this is where our prosecutors subdued it…”
“Cheonji Church? “Are you talking about those guys who are working secretly in the midfield these days?”
A force that dug into the gap between the two political factions.
That is the place called Cheonjigyo.
It is said that they worked secretly in the dark and gained power in an instant, and no one even knows exactly how many members there are or how many branches have been established.
Therefore, not only the Cheondohoe but also the Murim Alliance are making desperate efforts to catch them.
“They are the ones who turn an entire village into a branch… That’s interesting. But from the looks of it… I guess we succeeded in destroying it, but we didn’t achieve our goal.”
Dan Woo-hyeon quickly grasped the situation and opened his mouth. If everything has been resolved, there will be no need to leave anyone behind to preserve the site.
They didn’t even remove the body.
This means that there is still more to investigate.
“Eh… Yes, I tried to catch the evil Chu Zuohan, one of the Four Heavenly Emperors of the Cult of Heaven and Earth, but… I missed it.”
“Malignant? What a strange nickname. “Hehehe.”
“Ah, being called a villain is just another nickname given by men… The real one is called a demon saint.”
“Hoo demon saint? “Interesting.”
“No, more than that… What are the Four Emperors? The Four Emperors…”
Namgung Sohye trembled as she held both shoulders. If you are called one of the Four Emperors or the Five Emperors, you will not want to join the martial arts team.
Namgung Sohye glanced at Namgung Cheon and Sadohak.
I shook my head without realizing it.
“Anyway, are you left alone looking for traces to catch him?”
“Yes yes. “I’m the best at that kind of thing… Other disciples are probably searching the area.”
The man expressed that there were other colleagues around him and prepared for any possible situation. Did he mean to ask for his life because he had a friend?
But they didn’t pay any attention to that.
“But the Demon Saint… Where have I ever heard of the Demon Saint?”
“Ah… me too.”
At that time, Jang Sam-tae and Namgung So-hye shook their heads.
Since they are the two people who go to Akyang or business the most, information about Jungwon Murim comes in faster than other people in Sega.
Demon Saint is also one of those parts.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh, I guess he was given that name because he was able to dazzle those women right away?”
“you’re right. I heard that too. “The moment I heard it, I thought… he was a guy with enviable abilities.”
Jang Sam-tae clenched his fists, recalling the rumors he had heard from the author. Isn’t this an ability that anyone born as a man would envy?
I wondered why I wasn’t born with something like that.
“Deceive women?”
“yes! They seduce women and take them around to make them their believers. And they use those women to manipulate men and thus create new believers.”
“He is truly an evil enemy to men. Now I understand why they call him a villain. haha.”
Dan Woo-hyeon smiled as if he had heard quite an interesting story. If this is true, isn’t he no different from an enemy to all the men in the central office?
“But if something like this happens, shouldn’t the Murim Alliance or the Cheondohoe take action? “I don’t think it’s something a small or medium-sized sect would do, right?”
At that time, Sadohak asked with a strange expression.
It is an attack on a branch of a secret organization called Cheonjigyo. Of course, the Murim Alliance, which is called the pillar of the Jungwon Murim, or the Cheondohoe, which follows it, should have stepped forward.
It was virtually impossible to go directly to a place you had never heard of or seen before.
“That… that… even during our inspection… Master Moon’s mistress was harassed and left the house. So…”
“Hahaha-”
Jang Sam-tae burst out laughing.
I wondered if the crackdown had been so bad, but I thought it was worth being angry as a man. Also, while I was angry at the man who deceived the woman, I thought that he was the one who left his wife and took a concubine.
The man in charge of the inspection blushed brightly and lowered his head, probably knowing that he was embarrassed as well.
“Hehe, anyway, I’m glad I survived. But from now on, if something like this happens, ask for the help of the Murim Alliance or the Cheondohoe. “I got lucky this time.”
The man nodded.
Even so, there were quite a lot of casualties. I was confident that I had some skills, but my opponent’s skills were higher than I expected, and more than ten people were killed.
The words “I was lucky” that came out of Namgung-cheon’s mouth are words that can never be heard in vain.
“Well, anyway, let’s let this person go now… and we…”
At that time, Namgung Sohye slowly stepped forward and opened her mouth. There is no need to constantly talk about evil enemies, the Church of Heaven and Earth, etc. to catch them, so it is all useless.
For now, just.
“Let’s find a place to stay. Haa….”
I was annoyed that I had to sleep on the street again.
