#Hold on (1)

Hmm… … Mao caressed my chin.

‘Although Maeng-Hwi’s son is a bit timid, he moves as fast as a rat. Of course, in terms of strength and talent, I am superior.’

Honestly, I didn’t think that I was that strong just because I defeated Maeng-Hwi.

‘It’s not that much bigger than me. I guess we can give it a try, right?’

Mao chuckled. After all, didn’t he become stronger?

Originally, when you first start learning something, that’s when you put the most strength into your shoulders.

But Jang Seo’s words that followed soon completely erased this arrogant thought.

“The fact that the author came here… means that Narak has been hit… … .”

The third princess’s assistant, Narak. The former head of the Gwangryongdang.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the group grew as big as lanterns.

“That abyss that sticks behind you like a grim reaper?!”

Jang Yi-seo nods.

“Does that make sense?”

It’s not like that. But it happened right before my eyes. Jang-seo looked at Gu-yu with somewhat hardened eyes. I thought he was strong, but I never thought he would break through the abyss and come back up.

‘Before he was a counselor, Narak was one of the best in the Demonic Cult. But it couldn’t be a coincidence that he was defeated. He was definitely a talented person.’

The appearance of a completely unexpected ambush.

Meanwhile, Guyu looked around, absentmindedly rolling his eyes left and right like a taciturn monster.

「… … .」

Gwapyeong lying in front of Asin with a relaxed face. Hundreds of acupuncture needles on the floor. And soldiers and demonic bastards facing each other.

I knew it without even having to hear it.

They somehow managed to save Gwapyeong by releasing the broad meaning.

‘Were you serious?’

His gaze naturally turned to Jang Yi-seo, who was sitting in front of the brain room.

When you first said you were going to save Gwapyeong, I thought it was a lie to find a broad meaning. But you really saved her. Why?

“They are all from the Demonic Cult.”

Asin reported in a voice full of anger. I already knew that. That’s why I couldn’t understand it anymore.

‘The reason they came here was not in a broad sense, but because of that boy.’

But why the over-evaluation?

His gaze turned to Gwa-pyeong, who was sleeping peacefully. It would be nice if he woke up and spoke frankly, but unfortunately, that is not possible yet.

If that’s the case, there’s only one way left.

“What is the reason for saving Gwapyeong?”

Guyu decided to ask directly.

A deep voice resonating like a cave. Jang-seo opened his mouth without taking his eyes off the seated position.

“He got hurt trying to save me. That’s why I did the same. Also, I didn’t ask Gwangyi to save me. I just made a bet with him. So Gwapyeong doesn’t owe him anything.”

Even if I dragged it out or talked about it, it would only damage the sincerity. So I answered without a moment of hesitation. And when I heard this, Guyu’s eyes naturally narrowed.

‘Is it really because of a debt of life? Trust?!’

Honestly, I was surprised.

The favor of saving one’s life must be repaid even with death. This is the belief of the Huns and the fundamental principle that must be upheld.

But to meet a man of such faith in the North, where there is nothing but corruption and betrayal.

It’s hard to believe. And he’s from a demonic cult.

‘I don’t believe it… … .’

Guyu’s eyes scanned Jang Yiseo’s body thoroughly, down to every single hair. And then he realized.

‘I’m addicted.’

Even though he clenched his fist and tried to hide it, his eyes could not be avoided. His fingernails had turned blue-green. The back of his hand was white because the blood flow was cut off. This means that his arm was poisoned and that he had taken temporary measures.

And if that was a broad act, then my life would probably be in danger right now. In short, I risked my life to save Gwapyeong.

Perhaps sitting still was also meant to delay the spread of the poison.

So, Jang Seo’s words are true.

An act done with only good intentions from beginning to end.

“You saved Gwapyeong… … It was like saving my life. I thank you.”

Guyu stood tall and bowed his head.

When Asin and his soldiers saw this, they were all amazed. This was because there were only a few instances in history where he was so polite.

And to bow your head to a follower of the Demonic Cult, of all people.

One thing that surprised Jang was the same. The gazes looking at him became even darker.

‘Guyu… … is a person who knows how to acknowledge regardless of the order of things. It’s more than I thought.’

I couldn’t help but be surprised in many ways.

A leader of the Xiongnu tribe who independently leads suburban forces.

A strength that can even knock down the abyss.

A coldness and gentleness that bows its head for its family, yet does not hesitate to commit evil deeds.

And his loyal and strong subordinates who believe in him and follow him.

Besides, haven’t we already heard their grievances in a broad sense?

The more I think about it, the more I think he’s a good guy.

No, I was tempted.

‘If it’s interest, it might become a pillar that supports Mao.’

Jang Yiseo’s gaze glanced at Mao.

His position in the Demonic Cult is currently in limbo.

No one would want to come to his arms until he showed his potential, and even if they did come, they would be the only ones who could leave at any time.

It is a situation where everything is at risk and you cannot help but feel uneasy.

But Jang had to make him into a cult leader.

Not just a position in name only, but a solid entity that will move for the Central Plains.

‘Building a small religious position is like building a house. Even if you build it poorly, it will only last for three days. The real thing is to fill the room with ten thousand horses, and Mao stands above their heads as the walls and roof.’

And what was needed for this were pillars.

So that it doesn’t shake even when the storm comes. So that the mines don’t escape.

These are the pillars of heaven that firmly support the sky.

‘Guyu. If you become one of them, then a third force will be created that will not be swayed by anyone in the Demonic Cult.’

In addition, these people have not even learned proper martial arts. They clearly have the potential to grow even further.

Just thinking about it makes me feel like I’m one step closer to completing my mission.

one.

‘There’s still a lot to be resolved. The Three Elders are waiting outside, keeping watch, and now that they know the location, there’s a high chance they’ll storm Biryongdang. And above all else… … .’

Jang Yiseo narrowed his eyes.

Because I read the momentum in Guyu’s eyes as he raised his head that had been bowed.

This was definitely not a favor.

Complete enemy.

It was a sense of discomfort that was reeked of murder.

Why on earth?

“You can’t survive here.”

Kung! Even from Guyu’s mouth came a thunderous threatening sound.

You clearly said you were grateful just a moment ago, so what kind of contradiction is this?

“Hey, if you’re so kind, you should escort me and show me the way. What kind of a dog is this?”

Mao frowned and stepped forward.

“And I’m telling you because you don’t seem to know, there are a lot of our people outside?”

“I know.”

“Do you know someone like this? I’ve heard a lot about your situation. To be honest, I don’t want to hurt you. So just get out of the way. I won’t take responsibility anymore.”

Unwavering gaze. Mao’s confident and proud demeanor caused Gu Yu’s gaze to waver for a moment.

One, just for a little while.

Not long after, Guyu asked with cold eyes:

“Where is the broad meaning?”

“what……?”

Mao was confused. Where is the broad meaning? I don’t know about that. I just got out of the sandstorm that was coming.

The gaze immediately turned to Jang Il-seo.

“Jang-seo, where is that old man?”

“… … .”

Jang Yiseo was silent. Then Gu Yu turned his gaze to the wall.

Whew! I can hear the rough wind from here.

And there was a lot of sand on the floor that wasn’t usually there. This clearly meant that there was a problem with the brain. That alone was enough to predict it.

“Is he dead?”

“what?!”

Mao was shocked, and Gu Yu continued speaking as if he had expected this from the beginning.

“There are dozens of people in Guryongseong who are addicted. Starting from the tips of the hands and feet, the limbs slowly rot away, eventually reaching the heart and leading to death. Gwangyi called it the poison of immortality.”

“Immortal poison… … .”

A poison that doesn’t kill.

Mao is shaking. Isn’t this hell for both the onlookers and the dying?

“And the only way to cure it is to take his antidote. Once a month. You have to keep taking it periodically.”

“that…….”

“The broad meaning was that he used us. He was locked up, but in fact, we were the ones who were locked up. The fact that he released the unmarried mountain… …was because that was the condition he set.”

“This crazy kid… … .”

A curse came out of Mao’s mouth without his knowledge.

And Jang felt like all the mysteries had finally been solved.

If we clearly have a broad understanding of the issue, why are there still so many sick people? Why can we afford to build a hospital for the unmarried, but not afford to treat them?

That didn’t make sense.

But all of this was the work of a broad evil… … .

“Perhaps the Great One knew. That if he died, I would not let you live.”

Gooooooo!

Guyu’s momentum changed in an instant. Until just now, he had been a giant that could be seen from afar, but now he was a super giant that was far away.

I felt such an overwhelming sense of pressure that I swallowed my saliva.

Mao said in embarrassment.

“Hey! There are enough doctors here to cure a wide range of poisons! If you let us go first, then later… …!”

“The day after tomorrow.”

“what……?”

“The day will come when everyone will have to take the antidote.”

Oh my… …! Despair appeared on the faces of the group.

“You are the benefactors who saved Gwapyeong. However, because of your hasty judgment, we have lost many people. The only price for that is death.”

This is it.

The feeling of discomfort I felt from him who said thank you.

Guyu had sensed everything from the beginning.

That’s all there is to the result.

Shh …

A strong murderous intent erupted among the Iron Horses, including Guyu.

“Starting with you, we will show the power of the Huns to the demonic cultists outside.”

Negotiations break down.

This is literally the worst possible development.

“I think we’ve hit x. What do we do now?”

Mao asks. Meng Hui and Soo also look at him. No matter how you look at it, there is no other answer than fighting until one side dies.

“Jang Il-seo… …?”

But it’s strange.

Jang Yi-seo didn’t have a discouraged expression on his face.

Rather, it was more serious.

“Let me ask you just one thing.”

Then, at the end of the song, he opened his mouth to whisper so that the iron horse couldn’t hear.

“What is it?”

“Do you still want to save it?”

“Hey, you! What are you saving? We’re all going to die right now.”

“But if there is a way.”

“Is that… possible?”

Honestly, I’m not sure. But it’s possible.

“Instead, from now on, we must endure without killing anyone.”

“What. What are you holding on to… … .”

Mao and his party looked at Zhang Yishu with a sense of anxiety. Then, his gaze turned to someone in the distance.

Shh …

A monster standing there dumbly, emitting an incredible sense of oppression.

To the dragon of the battlefield, Guyu.

“This is driving me crazy, seriously!”

Even earthworms have military numbers. But this is way off topic.

How can one stand against the one who broke the abyss?

one…….

“Are you sure you can really save him?”

Mao’s trembling heart was saying something different from what his head was saying.
