215.

#Finally caught!

– A fishing village near Cheonsan.

Meanwhile, at that moment, the Chwiseonru was turned upside down.

The person in question, Jang Yi-seo, was sitting leisurely in the guest room, wearing a black hat, and looking out at the river as wide as the sea.

If Hongran or Sahae-ryeong had seen this, they would have breathed fire from their eyes.

Of course, Jang-seo, who knew nothing about this, calmly ordered drinks.

“Master. Please give me a bottle of soju.”

Next, place two round silver coins issued in the Western Regions on top of each other diagonally.

“… … .”

The owner who approached me silently took this and put down a bottle of Baekju. There was no side dish either. It was too much for the price of alcohol.

If it were Jang Seo, he would have been very excited, but this time his expression was filled with anticipation. That was also the reason he came here despite his busy schedule.

Strictly speaking, it is not alcohol, but a rolled-up black cloth used as a stopper.

It was an information magazine that provided the latest news from the Central Plains in clear Braille.

‘Wang Ye died and Ling Jia Jing appeared. If Yun Yi and Jegal So Mi returned safely to the rock carving, there will definitely be some news.’

Jang took out a piece of cloth, spread it out, and swept it with a black paper towel. Then his expression changed.

There is news. There is news, but… … .

‘It’s all about the supernatural!’

1. The original mind method left behind by Dharma was not the Sutra of Washing the Muscles and Following the Flow, but the Sutra of the Nengkaga.

2. Nam Seung personally went out to investigate on behalf of Shaolin.

3. The Apostolic Corps and the Imperial Family are also keeping an eye on it.

This was a much bigger situation than I expected. Of course, it was understandable because it was such a big issue… … .

‘This is excessive. If even the Sado-ryeon is moving, then the entire martial arts world has found out. Unless someone spread it on purpose… … .’

Besides, the last fourth part really bothered me.

4. Someone harmed Wang Ye and ran away with the Nengga Gyeong.

The Neungga-gyeong was something that Jegal So-mi and Jang Yi-yun had obtained by chance and inherited.

But if you just look at the content, I am a traitor who harmed Wang Ya.

There’s no way this could have been spread from a rock carving.

‘It was spread by the Blood Sect. Furthermore, Jegal So-mi did not know that the Nengga-gyeong was the original mind method.’

The only ones who knew that were himself, Wang Ye, and the blood cult that had harmed Wang Ye.

Also, the fact that the rumor spread like this despite the rock carvings having been moved directly is proof that their influence in the Central Plains is beyond imagination.

“hmm…….”

I couldn’t help but spit out a sigh at the gloomy reality of the Central Plains. It was fortunate that the Neungga-gyeong had been burned.

Just how far have they spread? Even the calm river now feels like the calm before a storm. It feels like all this peace will disappear at any moment into the hands of the Blood Cult.

You absolutely can’t leave it like that.

I started thinking back from the beginning, one by one, in order to approach them.

‘Cheonaksu said that he was the first of the eight evil spirits of the eight pillars of evil spirits. That means that his disciple, Sadocheol, succeeded him. Why?’

It was a problem that could be considered trivial, but Jang-seo had doubts.

Usually, handing over a position happens when someone retires or dies.

But it didn’t fit anywhere in Cheonaksu.

‘Sado-cheol and Saho-jeong were criminals who entered Doraok at a young age. Thanks to that, although it was an uncommon occurrence, they were scheduled to be released from prison.’

If so, there is one reason we can infer.

The need for someone who could operate outside of Doraok was separate from it.

For whom? The answer was simple.

‘Blood Cult… … . He is an apostate from the evil cult called Cheonaksu. Perhaps one of his missions was to create other apostates like me.’

Ttorr. Jang Yi-seo nodded while following the light. Once he got his thoughts going, everything went smoothly.

‘Jeok-A-Rin showed off her appearance confidently without wearing a mask. She even felt proud of being a member of the Blood Cult. On the other hand, Hwang-Sin-Pal-Ju wore a mask and did not show his teeth. Why?’

Because I have two identities.

‘If Sado-cheol is the Eight Evils, Gwang-ui is the Seven Evils. And he was also an apostate who came from the Demonic Cult but crossed over to the Blood Cult.’

In summary, the Hyukshin Palju were not members of the Blood Cult from the beginning. There was a high probability that they were members who later switched to the Blood Cult.

A spy in a high position, at that!

furthermore.

‘Even though Sado-cheol directly dealt with the unmarried mountain that Gwang-ui had created, he did not save him. Gwang-ui also did not seem to have him in mind. This means that although they were both evil spirits, they did not know each other’s true identities at all.’

I wet my throat with alcohol because it was so stuffy. The more I know about them, the more distant they seem.

One thing that needs to be done has become even clearer.

‘We must find the evil spirits first. As long as they are hiding, the world will be endlessly played with.’

Thump! He put down his glass and stood up.

*

I came out of the guest house, put on my black hat, and headed to a place that was about half an hour up Cheonsan Mountain from Eohae Village.

A place where a rock towers over what appears to be a cave entrance.

Most people might not even know that this place exists because it is overgrown with bushes and not particularly frequented, but it is quite familiar to those in the counterintelligence unit.

This was the rat hole that led to the devil’s cult.

Drrrrrr!

After waiting for about 30 minutes, the rock began to move sideways little by little as if it had legs attached to it, and the cave opened up.

“You’re late, Captain.”

And then a familiar voice was heard from inside.

“Black gourd.”

It was the black giant, Heukgeo, who worked in the same group as me when I was in the counterintelligence unit.

A guy who is excellent at getting things done if you give him a reasonable price. He is currently in charge of the third division.

I had asked him in advance for help in getting out of Cheonsan.

He snickered and entered the cave.

“My schedule got a little messed up. Nothing much… … .”

“I’m sorry, Captain.”

dump.

“Black gourd!”

A large doll in the darkness falls forward. I run to examine its body and see that its feet are bare, its entire body is covered in wounds, and the path it has taken is stained with blood.

‘pitfall?!’

And the moment Jang Seo sensed the problem.

Shhh!

A sharp and pointed murderous intent struck me from behind.

It’s an ambush!

Let’s twist our bodies to dodge. Pfft pfft! Three dark stones are stuck in the ground one after another.

Let’s grab a stone on the ground and get up.

Wheaaaaaaaaa!

A blast of wind blew in from the side, accompanied by a noise like a slash.

Kwajik!

When he hit it with a rock, it turned to dust and scattered, and Jang-seo immediately counterattacked with his sword.

phut!

But only the air bursts out. The opponent has already disappeared.

‘master……!’

Then, another surprise attack followed from behind.

Papapapak!

And a close combat unfolds in the darkness.

The situation was similar to the first one.

The enemy attacked by surprise, occupying all sides, but Jang-seo blocked them like a ghost and launched a counterattack.

And after dozens of hits, their fists and swords struck each other simultaneously.

puck!

“Ugh… … !”

“hmm…….”

The two people stepped back, spitting out a sound at the same time. Only then was Jang-seo able to face the other person for the first time.

And I couldn’t help but be astonished.

“Tosa… … ?!”

If there is a mad dog in the counterintelligence unit, there is a Tosa dog in the salhon unit.

This is a legend that has been passed down in this faction of the Demonic Cult about two people.

Because each of them excelled in their respective fields.

Moreover, since there were many missions that they carried out together, there were times when they competed with each other and cooperated with each other.

Of course, time has passed and our status has changed.

“You’re probably the only one who still calls me that, you crazy dog.”

A person with a cool complexion and an extremely cold impression. A person who suits deep darkness better than anyone else.

“That must be true. Now that you’ve become a successful public servant.”

Han, the Emperor of the Shadow Sword.

That was it.

Jang-seo looked at the fallen black man and asked with cold eyes.

“Is this the Archduke’s order?”

He didn’t go to engineering school. It’s already public knowledge that he’s the Grand Duke’s man.

He is not so foolish as to be polite to someone who has stabbed him in the back.

“You should speak straight. You were the one who left Cheonsan without permission.”

“No. I didn’t know before I left, but I know for sure now. Ever since I came back from Maga, it felt like a lynx was spying on me. That was you. You’re just like that dark and cold thing. You were after me from the beginning.”

“… … .”

The Doberman. No, the Sakongja wiggled his eyebrows.

I didn’t really want to deny what he said. There were just a lot of things I didn’t understand.

‘It’s definitely not the crazy dog ​​it used to be.’

He is one of the few who recognized the value of Jang Seo a long time ago.

So, he became an aide, or he amassed countless fortunes in the past, or he repeatedly fed the Grand Duke.

I didn’t find any of it strange.

why?

Because he has the brains and guts to do that. But that is only in the mental realm.

‘I never thought it was real when I was observing it from a distance, hiding in the crowd. But the mad dog really felt my presence.’

This wasn’t something that could be done simply by being quick-witted.

When it comes to stealth, he is one of the four best in the school, along with Salhon Daeju, Bangcheop Daeju, and Biryong Dangju.

Moreover… … .

I lowered my head and looked at my wrist, and the bone ached.

‘I didn’t give it my all, but I fought with him for dozens of rounds. If it were the past, I wouldn’t know, but how on earth… . . . ‘

This was the part I didn’t understand the most.

I was stronger in the past, but back then I was just at the beginning of my peak, so considering variables and my ability to improvise, I could say that I was on par with him, who was first-class.

But now?

Salyeongdoje. Wasn’t he reborn as a supreme master who was given the nickname of Emperor by Cheonma?

“Let me ask you one thing.”

Sreung! After a moment of silence, Han took out a horizontal sword from his waistband.

This is the divine ghost-slaying sword I received from Cheonma.

“How did you, a mere leader, become so strong?”

Ha! Jang Yi-seo let out a breath as if he found it ridiculous.

“Isn’t it so absurd to hear that story from you, the one who was the instigator?”

“Are you trying to say that you are like me? I was taught directly by the Heavenly Demon.”

Oh, me too. He even stood guard.

Of course, you can’t say that. Besides, it’s true that he’s gotten much stronger since then.

Jang didn’t show it, but if we have to talk about the current state, it’s the end of the peak.

Considering the hidden divine power of the Namcheonneungga-gyeong, the brain power, and the potential of the blood demon, his end was now immeasurable.

“That’s it. Whatever your true identity is, you won’t be able to get out alive this time.”

The servant took a silent step. Jang-seo also responded by slowing down his pace.

“Can you handle it?”

What an arrogant statement. But the Duke knows Zhang Yishu.

How many people have lost their limbs after laughing at what a mad dog says?

one.

“Even if the Chilsogung breaks the egg and flies, it is still a small bird in a cage in front of the Grand Duke. Give up your vain expectations.”

“You really think so? Then you’d better start the investigation again from the beginning. Since you haven’t found out anything properly.”

“Barking won’t help. This time, no one will be able to get you out.”

“Is that really so?”

“Follow me. Otherwise… … .”

Shudder! Jang I-seo, who had been stepping back, stopped walking and turned his head back.

Then, from a distance, I caught sight of warriors standing in formation, wearing pure white robes and with the character for flying written in gold.

“Biryongdang?!”

And a woman approaches them, bursting into an unpleasant laugh as she passes them by.

“Ohhohohoho! Finally caught!”

“Myochae-gyeong… … .”

The leader of the Biryongdang clan, Myo Chae-kyung.

She appeared.
