#The original enemy of Chilsogung

What on earth were you trying to say? But instead of questioning, you nodded. Anyway, one of the people who saved my life in Kowloon Castle.

He is more trustworthy than the demonic cult’s minions.

“Then just close your eyes.”

It was absurd. But I decided to believe it, so I closed my eyes tightly.

“Did you close it? Okay.”

Then Soo got up from his seat and approached the cabinet in the corner. Then, with a squeak, he opened it and said,

“I got my hands on this one this time. I brought it because it looked so familiar. And to my horror, there’s another one inside that looks exactly the same. And that’s… .”

“Were you Baek Oh-mun?”

“Eww!”

Soo-oh fell down in shock at the sound of the voice right behind him. A white-beaked crow mask fell down on his head!

“Hey! Close your eyes!”

“You didn’t say until when. More than that… … .”

Jang-seo looked at the mask on the floor and the clothes inside the store as if it was absurd and asked.

“What on earth is going on? This mask and this outfit. Even these black and white coins. Anyone can tell it’s Baek-O-Mun.”

“Hey, that’s it! Wow, this is crazy. Is there really no trust between us? You’re going to stab me in the back of the head like this?”

“The answer first.”

“What are you asking? I’ve seen it all. That’s right. Baek Oh-mun. The crow cleaner.”

It was shocking. It was even more shocking because it was my first time seeing the true nature of a crow.

“Then what is the Bulmungaekjan? Is it a stomach?”

“I’m going crazy. Hey, customer. If you keep asking me questions like that, you’re putting yourself in danger. Are you doing this because you don’t know? Why are you doing this when you know me? Should I tell you everything too?”

“I’m asking as a friend.”

The words that came out of the blue, buddy. So-oh was speechless.

It feels even stranger because it’s the first time I’ve heard that in my life. This rotten guy…

Soo-oh crumpled his face and spoke as if he was dying.

“… … This is just my hobby. Don’t ask any more questions.”

“Okay.”

Jang Yiseo raises both hands and changes his expression of surprise. Soo-oh’s face becomes even more wrinkled. Anyway, he’s a thick-skinned bastard.

“Okay. Look at this. This mask. It’s the same.”

Soo-oh held out two red masks. They looked just like demons.

“This was weird from the start. Of course, there are perverts who like to wear stuff like this, but this was different. At least I thought I would never wear it alone.”

“If I’m not alone… … .”

“Don’t be surprised.”

Whoosh! Soo-oh turned over the mask. Then he saw that there were numbers engraved on the back.

【Seven, eight】

“You see. There are numbers. So what? There are more? But I found this at the place where the broad trail was cut off. Strangely, there was a tree stuck there like a tombstone, so I dug it up. And this is what I found?”

“Then, did Sado-cheol have the other one?”

“Wow, genius! That’s right. At that time, you killed Sado-cheol… … .”

uh?

“It was you, after all. My person in charge.”

“Ugh, euaaaah!”

A second scream from Soo echoed through the room. This one was a bit longer than before.

*

“Are you okay?”

His continued screams caused his subordinates to swarm him.

Soo weakly gestured for him to step away, as if all his energy had been drained from him.

And after taking a deep breath for a while, we talked again.

“How on earth do you know?”

“Come to think of it, their voices and physiques are similar.”

“That’s all?”

No, that’s not it.

“I took a picture.”

“Are you kidding me?”

“I didn’t take the picture to look at you, I took the picture to look at Sado-cheol.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I saw someone using the same martial arts as Sado-cheol when we were attacked by assassins a while ago.”

I recalled my days in Jangho.

‘It’s Galmuncheon. Others call me Sahongeomgwi.’

The magic that distorted the surrounding space with red tendons standing out. Sado-cheol had clearly implemented this as well.

It was so strange and unfamiliar that I thought it might be the magic of the Blood Cult… … .

“Anyway, the tip is… … . That’s right. This thing with the number eight (八) written on it was the one that Sado-cheol had. At that time, you asked me to find out about his martial arts, so I examined the body. Strangely enough, each hole was filled with blood.”

“What does that mean… … ?!”

“Yes. You said that you used not only your internal energy but also your blood as a catalyst for your luck. I didn’t know what it was back then. But after hearing what you said today… … .”

“Blood sect.”

“That’s right. It was a magical technique of the Blood Cult that was forbidden in the Demonic Cult.”

For a moment, silence flowed between the two.

This was because it was too big and dangerous a fact to accept all at once.

It was obvious. Where was this place?

It is more closed than any other place in the Central Plains, and if it is a blood sect, it is a devilish sect that grinds its teeth.

But the fact that the blood sect has taken root here to this extent means, in other words, that things are more serious elsewhere.

“What are you going to do?”

Soo-oh asked, breaking the silence.

“You look for the light outside. I’ll look inside.”

“Is there a way?”

Jang Yiseo nodded. It seems that the opportunity to take revenge has come sooner than expected.

I walked out, carrying the mask in my arms.

“store?”

“Now that we know that the Blood Cult is roaming around, we can’t just leave it alone.”

Blood Cult or Demonic Cult. From a political standpoint, both are evil, but if I had to choose a side, I would choose the Demonic Cult without hesitation, as I have lived with it up until now.

“Oh, and.”

Jang Seo-ga, standing in front of the door, looked back and said.

“It’s better to wear a mask.”

“Hey! What’s wrong with my face? And if you go somewhere and talk about me, you’ll really be a jerk and a brat… …. Hyung Jang! Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“Go.”

Jang-seo waved his hand and left, and So-o saw him off with a sigh.

***

Late at night.

Jang Yi-seo, who returned to Chilsogung, immediately called a meeting in the annex office.

Yongtaene was not able to take his place, so Mao, Ma-ui, Guyu, Hong-ran, Gwa-pyeong, and Asin took their places.

“What’s going on here at night? I’m green tea today. I’ve been swinging a knife all day.”

He must be exhausted. Mao on the top seat was drenched in sweat, but his appearance didn’t seem so awkward anymore.

I don’t know about anything else, but it’s about overcoming laziness in training.

“You, you’re not going to pick a fight like you did when you were a kid, are you? If that’s the case, tell me in advance. Where are you? Manggaya? Are you Cheonga?!”

“Am I some kind of warlord? I pick fights here and there.”

“Then that’s great. Otherwise, what is it?”

“I think we need to prepare for war.”

“Tch! Were you a warmonger?”

Although I was exaggerating and threatening, I needed to be prepared for that level of danger. The opponent was not Cheon Ga or Maeng Ga, but Hyul Gyo.

“Listen carefully to what I say from now on. It seems that there is a blood cult hiding in our school.”

“What, what did you say?!”

Jang explained to everyone who was shocked.

The Gwangyi we met at Guryongseong was actually an apostate who had defected to the Blood Cult that we were chasing at Doksan Pavilion, and this time, someone had taken him away.

“Gongsunjeol… … . So that guy is alive after all.”

As he nodded, the demon slammed the snake staff he was holding in both hands down onto the ground.

Then, whoa! A damp air wafts out.

But that wasn’t the only thing that was making me angry.

“The broad meaning is alive.”

It was no less than Gwapyeong and Asindo, including Guyu.

To the Huns, it is an enemy that cannot be quelled even if they are torn to pieces a hundred times.

Especially, didn’t Gwapyeong lose even his own younger brother?

I wanted to eradicate everything related to it without leaving a single grain of rice behind.

Hongran, as well, had roots in Jeongdo, and her feelings toward the Blood Cult were the worst.

There’s only one thing left.

“hmm…….”

Mao alone. The atmosphere became heavy with his sleep, and silence settled in.

Anyway, he is the owner of this place.

Now, it is a time when he has finally defeated Maga and must fly higher. However, it may be extremely rude to him to chase after the Blood Cult out of personal resentment and emotions.

But.

“What are you worrying about? You are the bastard who drove Zhang Yi and the Huns to the brink of death. You touched my family, so how can I, as your master, just let you go? You should destroy you completely.”

Everyone chuckled as Mao shouted out in a cheerful and enthusiastic tone.

With this, everyone’s hearts became one.

Broadly. And blood sect.

From now on, they are the archenemy of Chilsogung.

“But where do we find these kids?”

“We decided to take care of the rest at Bulmunkaekjan.”

“So all I have to do is wait?”

“That’s the case for now. The problem is the remnants of the Blood Cult hiding in the main church. It must have been with their help that I was able to steal the broad mind.”

“Evidence that it is hidden.”

Thump. Jang-i silently placed the two masks down on the round table.

A mask that is evil and grotesque just by looking at it.

Mao picked it up with a serious expression and held it up to my face, saying:

“What is this… … . It’s pretty cool?”

Where are you going? Who would call you a demon cult master? Your tastes are really good.

“One was found where the sword had disappeared, and the other was what Sado-cheol had.”

“Wait a minute. Sado-cheol? He’s missing right now!”

Mao is not usually like that, but there are times when he is unnecessarily sharp.

“The problem starts from now on.”

“What? Why aren’t you answering my question?”

The story continued.

Jang Yiseo said that he was attacked in Jangho, and that the assassin had used the same magic attack on Sado Cheol in the past.

“No, wait. How do you know about the Sadocheol martial arts?”

Needlessly sharp.

“That’s not the important thing.”

What the hell is important then! Mao shouts with his mouth wide open, but everyone’s interest is no longer that.

Hongran nodded and continued speaking.

“If the Sado-cheol revealed through the Blood Cult used martial arts like an assassin… … . You’re saying that he might have formed a force within the cult.”

As expected, Hongran. She understands it right away.

“It’s not certain yet. But it’s enough to find out.”

“How could this happen… … .”

As the demon sighed, Mao suddenly got up and shouted.

“That was it! All the puzzles solved!”

“What, all of a sudden?”

“If the Blood Cult had established a power within this place, the answer is simple. It was very close!”

“yes?”

“Think about it. On the way from Doksan-gak to Maga, an assassin was after you. And Sado-cheol is an assassin who has been taking care of Maishin since long ago. What does this mean?”

“What does that mean?”

“Don’t you get it yet? What these two have in common!”

“no way.”

“Mark! Mark was a blood cult member!”

“What are you talking about!”

“Now everything is falling into place. The reason why Mysin couldn’t eat me was because Mysin was the leader of the Blood Cult! So… … Mysin is the leader!”

Someone, stop him. And if what you say is true, you will be put to death. Don’t you know that apostates destroy three generations?

“Don’t make a fuss. It’s not Maga.”

“Then where is it?”

“The most promising place right now is… … .”

It was at that time that I was trying to express my thoughts in a silent atmosphere.

“Brother, the Seven Princes! There’s a fire! There’s a fire in the village right now… … . There’s a fire! Huhu!”

Outside, the pitiful voice of a catfish echoed.
