Jang Yi-seo shook his head to shake off his impure thoughts. There was nothing to worry about, so why worry about the Demonic Cult? And in front of the kids, at that. Come to your senses.

“Straighten your backs. I didn’t ask to be greeted. More importantly, how on earth did you end up being chased by the Blood Cult?”

Changing the subject, he went to a nearby rock and sat down with a thud. Then Seonyu and Jegalso-mi also came closer and explained the situation.

“I found someone who had been murdered in Sacheon, and I was attacked by masked men at that time. Seonyu Sohyeop stepped in and saved me from the crisis, and I haven’t seen him since. Still, I changed my mask and clothes several times in case I was followed, but how did he know and come looking for me like a ghost… … .”

Zhuge Somi shook his head as if he couldn’t understand. That would be so. If Zhuge Shang was going to appoint him as a deputy chief, then he must already have a vast amount of knowledge of the Zhuge family in his head.

She would have done the best she could.

“He said earlier that he brought something. What was it?”

Ah. When Jegal So-mi looked at Seon-yu, he nodded and took out a book from his bosom and handed it to her.

“This is… … .”

“It is a Buddhist scripture called the Neungga-gyeong. However, it is written in Sanskrit, so I cannot confirm the details. If I were to go back and interpret it, it would take several days at most… … . Great swordsman?”

Jegal So-mi observed Jang Yi-seo’s expression changing rapidly and tilted his head with a questioning look.

What is that expression? Even the way the pupils are swept down from top to bottom makes it look like he’s reading.

And that thought turned out to be exactly right.

“It is definitely a scripture.”

“Sir, no way. You solved it right away?!”

Swish, swish.

Jang-seo read the contents quickly without saying much. The two people who had no choice but to watch this couldn’t close their mouths.

Even Jegal So-mi was the granddaughter of Jegal Sang, the most intelligent person in the world, and a later Ji-su called Ji-hwa. Even if she didn’t know anything else, she was confident in solving something.

But he couldn’t help but be astonished when he saw that Room 103 was flipping through the work that he had to do day and night, sitting down with a book open.

‘This is the best agent in the rock carving… … .’

From his martial arts skills to his brains, he is truly a man who sticks his tongue out. It would have been great if his place of activity had been in the Central Plains… … .

‘What am I thinking right now!’

Jegal So-mi was startled as if her feet had gone numb and shook off her delusions. In the meantime, Jang-seo read through the last page and closed the book with a sigh.

“Do you know what it all means… … ?”

He swallowed hard and asked. If that were true, he would be the best in the Central Plains, not the best in the Rock Carvings.

Jang I-seo answered calmly.

“no.”

“As expected! Huh? Oh, yes. As expected… … Right? Haha… … .”

I didn’t know. Jegal So-mi smiled with a refreshing and sad expression. Seon-yu nodded as if it was natural.

No matter how great he is, how could he decipher all this while sitting down?

The statement that it was not a one-man show was a huge departure from their standards.

‘This Sutra of the Avalokitesvara is clearly the sutra in which the Buddha answers the questions of the great monk Mahayana.’

He is a genius among geniuses, born with a natural talent for longevity.

It is true that all the contents revealed on the surface have been deciphered.

‘But something feels strange. Am I mistaken in thinking that there are some unnecessary characters in the content?’

That’s right. Jang felt something else beyond the content.

“Then… …Can you please turn it back now?”

Jegal So-mi smiled awkwardly and held out her hand. However, Jang-seo did not give him the Neungga-gyeong but put it straight into his pocket.

“Uh, uh… … Room 103?”

A robber? Jegal So-mi is flustered. However, Jang-seo had absolutely no intention of giving it back.

It wasn’t because of my curiosity for detoxification. There was a more serious problem.

“You guys go down north from here right now. Then you can return to the Central Plains.”

“yes?”

“This book is sprinkled with the fragrance of a thousand miles.”

A scent that lasts for a thousand miles! A scented ointment that is said to have a scent that lasts literally a thousand miles.

Ordinary people cannot smell it, but if you take a drug that reacts to it and are trained, you can track it down to within arm’s length.

“That, that’s impossible! If it’s the scent of the rhinoceros, then I can definitely confirm that… … .”

“Because it’s not a book commonly used in politics.”

“then…….”

To be exact, it is a magic incense. No, it is a fragrance extracted from a rare poisonous tree called blood tree, which only grows in some areas of Xinjiang and Xizang.

One of the poisons taken while training in the immortal poison.

“They must be coming here from the Blood Cult by now.”

“That, that kind of thing!”

“Go and tell the headmaster clearly. The Blood Cult has already infiltrated the world. He should never let his guard down because it’s the Murim Alliance.”

“That can’t be true!”

“They’ve been hiding in the Demonic Cult’s brain prison for decades, sharpening their swords. It’ll be easier in the Central Plains.”

“… … !”

Jegal Somi and Seonyu’s eyes widened. Dozens of years? If that’s true, this is an emergency. It might be something that requires an investigation into the entire Murim Alliance.

“I don’t know what they’re after, but it must be related to the original owner of this Neungga-gyeong. Find him.”

“I clearly said Wangya earlier.”

Jang Yi-seo nods at Jegal So-mi’s words. Yes, that’s right. Among the words the blue-haired blood man spoke earlier, there was definitely the word Wang Ye.

I don’t know who exactly you are referring to, but whether they are vassals or princes, there probably won’t be many of them.

“If you dig around him, you’ll definitely find something suspicious. You absolutely have to be careful. They’re dangerous.”

I felt genuine concern from him. It must be the heart of a senior looking after his junior. I really like his simple yet warm sincerity.

“Yes. I will. I will definitely look into it carefully. Then, Your Majesty… … .”

Jegal So-mi couldn’t continue speaking for longer because he saw Jang Yi-seo’s determined will in his expression.

It means that you yourself will become bait for your enemies.

“… … It was nice to meet you.”

The two felt an inexplicable resonance in Jang Seo’s smiling, concise greeting.

In particular, Seonyu almost burst into tears for some reason. It was so bad that she would have had a hard time holding it back if she hadn’t tried hard to turn her head away.

‘why?’

I asked myself this question several times because I didn’t understand it. But I never found a clear answer.

‘brother…….’

My brother just came to mind vaguely. And I thought it was because I missed him.

It’s a vague feeling of sympathy, thinking that somewhere out there, my older brother might be living like that, having received a mission.

“May I ask for the great swordsman’s honor? I hope to repay your kindness someday.”

“Seonyu Sohyeop! That would be a great insult to the agent… …!”

Just as Jegal So-mi was about to cover Seon-yu’s mouth, Jang I-seo smiled and patted her shoulder, saying, “It’s okay.”

“Next time. I’ll tell you next time we meet again.”

“……All right.”

Seonyu nodded. And looking at his younger brother like that, Jang Yi-seo hid his tingling heart.

‘I don’t know when that will be, but when that day comes after I finish my mission… … I will definitely greet you first. Thank you for growing up well, Yuna.’

Right now, I’m not in a position to even show you my face properly, but someday, I’ll definitely smile warmly and hug you.

“Thank you for coming. Before those guys came… … .”

That’s when. Beep! A long horn sounded from the lower room.

Then the sound of footsteps can be heard haphazardly.

The faces of all three people turn white.

They are the guys.

The moment Jang Il-seo was about to shout urgently for him to go away.

“you……?”

The two of them planted their feet firmly on the ground and threw the lottery tickets at Jang Yi-seo with all their heart.

“I hope that one day we will meet again in the Central Plains.”

“I will not forget your kindness today. Please come to the volcano sometime.”

Until the very end… … Jang-i stopped his hasty actions and looked at the two closely. Then, he took a shallow breath and grabbed the lottery ticket.

And then he smiled affectionately and said:

“See you later.”

Said.

and…….

Dismissed!

He disappeared like lightning towards where the enemies were coming from.

“Kwak-!”

“Ugh!”

Then, screams that erupted without pause shook the mountain landscape.

It’s a market.

He encountered the enemies to save us.

The two of them bit their lips and flew north.

‘I hope you are safe.’

One day, Room 103 suddenly appeared in our hearts like a fiery arrow.

Drawing him.

*

Meanwhile, Jang-seo, who had entered the forest, killed the three masked men in one breath and quickly surveyed the enemy camp.

‘They were the advance team earlier, but these guys are the real deal!’

You can tell at a glance that the number of people gathered is different.

There are about fifty blood people wearing red masks, and their leader is… … .

“Where is the hundred-faced ghost?”

Suddenly, a captivating voice was heard, and then, bang! A dazzling beam of light struck the side.

Jang was pushed back about ten steps, hit his back against a tree, and fell to one knee.

“this…….”

The pain was so severe that my entire body felt numb. If I hadn’t turned my body and reflexively swung the dagger to block it, I would have died instantly.

Such tremendous power and speed.

Even the dagger I had blocked completely shattered and turned into dust. The guy who had been by my side for a long time disappeared without even saying goodbye.

“Oh, you blocked it?”

When I raised my head, I saw a woman holding a black spear upside down in the opposite hand.

Even if you give me an age estimate, I’m still 30 years old.

She is a beautiful woman with distinct features and black hair tied up in a way that is unusual for a blood cult. She is wearing a black martial arts uniform that is not hidden even when covered up.

If Sa Hae-ryeong had a beauty that hid her great strength, this woman simply had beauty within her strength.

Similar but completely different feeling.

“Are you a blood cult member too?”

“Haha, she’s a black-blooded enemy. In our school, she’s also called the Spear Ghost. Sometimes, she’s called Kirin-ah, but that’s not very good. She’s too masculine.”

Looking at how loosely you talk, you’re definitely not an ordinary person. Maybe pretending to be ordinary makes you look even crazier.

‘But the skills are real.’

It was still so numb that I couldn’t clench my fist. It was a tremendous force. In other words, it was a master who had long ago surpassed the limits of men and women.

As I looked around nervously, I saw that the masked men had already surrounded me.

“Oh, don’t be so cautious. The people in our school have no manners and are quick to show blood, but I’m different.”

“It looks like that.”

“Really? This is the first time I’ve heard someone say something like that… … Maybe our conversation will go well.”

“That’s not it. I’d rather roll around with a shit-covered dog than with those Blood Cult guys. I’m getting hives.”

“Haha, what’s wrong with us? We’re all going to share the same blood anyway. If you didn’t like that, you should have put down your sword and picked up a pickaxe.”

“It’s not what you heard, but why you heard it that matters. You guys are the kind of guys who would kill anyone with a pickaxe.”

“You know us better than we thought? I like you.”

It’s clear that he’s crazy, too. After all, is there anything normal in the Blood Cult? My shaking hands calmed down. I clenched my fists again and thought.

By now, Jegal So-mi and Yun-i would have also escaped.

As we were thinking about running away, the enemy sensed something and slowly approached us, curling the corners of his mouth.

“I’ve been in a good mood for a long time, and I’d like to have a long conversation with you, but as you know, I’m on a mission. Let me ask you again. Where is Baek-myeon-gwi?”

“How could I… … ”

The moment Jang I-seo turns his head and takes a step back.

Kwaaaaang! With a loud noise, the large tree right in front of my eyes was torn apart.

Even that was just the beginning, after that, a dozen or so trees were pierced one after another for a long distance.

Kookookookookung!

Trees that can’t keep their balance and fall over.

‘What is this… …!’
