#Did you use your head?

The next day.

As Jang Yi-seo predicted, ominous rumors spread throughout the world.

‘Master Won Dam and the Eighteen Arhats were killed in Sacheon!’

‘It’s the work of the Demonic Cult’s Brain Demon!’

‘They pretended to show mercy and let me go, but then secretly chased me down and killed me like an evil spirit!’

‘To destroy the evidence, they burned the body and threw it into the Sacheon River!’

Where on earth do these rumors come from? It’s hard to keep your eyes open and listen.

“These guys! So that guy is a ghost? What are you talking about?”

Mao was so angry that he even got angry while eating. But Zhang Yi, on the other hand, just curled the corners of his mouth.

‘Huh, you noticed?’

Only Jeok A-rin, who was sitting on the floor tied up, realized the meaning of the laughter.

That’s because I found the clue I was looking for in the rumors.

“Were you hiding in Sacheon?”

“… … !”

And the guess was correct.

Jang Yi-seo immediately deduced the location of the Five Evils’ base.

“You’re in Sacheon? What do you mean?”

When Mao asked in confusion, Zhang Yishu explained it nonchalantly.

“There is always an intention behind the rumors that someone spreads. The accident happened on the border between Sacheon and Cheonghae. But the rumors are defining it as something that happened in Sacheon.”

“You’re so sure that it’s in Sacheon just because of that? Isn’t that too much of an assumption?”

Not at all. Jang-seo shook his head and answered.

“It makes sense, since it’s Sacheon.”

“Explain it so I can understand.”

Sacheon is a strategic point for the political faction.

Moreover, it was a place ruled by the spiritual leader, Noh Wang-ya, who recently passed away.

Simply put, it is a place where entry by Sima Oedo is strictly prohibited compared to other places.

The agreement also explicitly states that no swords will be used in Sacheon.

But there is a rumor going around that Master Won Dam died in that Sacheon. And that too by the brain demon of the Demonic Cult.

“then…….”

“Yes. For whatever reason, the Sacheon sects have a reason to intervene. And in Sacheon, there are Cheongseong, Ami, and Dangga.”

These are the so-called Sacheon Sammun (Three Gates of Sichuan).

“Immeasurable Life Buddha… … If even the Four Heavenly Kings intervene, then we will truly not be able to avoid the Great Battle of Jeongma.”

Jang Seo also agreed with Won Dam’s concerns. But that won’t happen.

“Do you know who are gathered at the temporary headquarters of the Murim Alliance?”

“How could His Majesty Jang Dae-hyeop do that… … .”

Won-dam was greatly embarrassed. The fact that a temporary headquarters had been established in the Sacheon branch was something that only a very small number of people within the alliance knew about.

Of course, there was also a rock relief on one of those very few.

‘It’s like that externally, but I understand that a temporary headquarters has been established in Sacheon Branch.’

When Jang Yiseo stared at him without answering, Won Dam answered with a face like he had seen a ghost.

“The military of the Murim Alliance and the Hyojin incident of the Army. And the head of the Tang family, the Heavenly Master, and the Angel Taoist of Cheongseong are here.”

“Umm… … .”

As soon as Won Dam finished speaking, a long sigh escaped Man Se Geuk’s mouth.

A look in his eyes that tells you that his opponent is formidable.

Mao suddenly asked.

“Why? What are they? Are they strong guys?”

“Yes, they are all called Naero from Sacheon.”

Strictly speaking, it is not the Four Heavenly Kingdoms, but the Central Plains. It means that they are well-known throughout the world.

Hyojin Satae was the elder who led the elite warriors of the Amipa, the Bokho Seung, and the head of the Cheonwae Sect, Dang Gi-ryong, and the angel monk, Jang Ryang, were classified as the same level as the Great Master Wondam.

All of these people are worthy of being called leaders.

Jang put down his spoon and spoke firmly.

“From now on, just me and that guy. We’ll move by ourselves.”

“What, just the two of you? That plan is totally out of the question.”

Mao glares at Jeok-A-Rin with unkind eyes. He doesn’t know what kind of tricks he might use if he gets a chance. But there’s nothing he can do.

“The evil spirits are sinister and cautious. If they arouse even the slightest suspicion, they will immediately try to hide, so everyone should stay here.”

“Ugh… …Okay.”

In the end, everyone, including Mao, nodded. There was no other way for now anyway.

“It would be better to give up the thought of doing something foolish in advance.”

“of course.”

Jang Il-seo and Jeok A-rin’s intense gazes met in the air.

So the two of them left Anga.

The destination is Sacheon.

The target is a misfortune.

*

Jang Yi-seo was special to Jeok Ah-rin.

He is the arch-enemy who has repeatedly ruined the great undertaking of the Blood Cult.

A thief who swallowed the Blood Jade, the treasure of the Blood Cult.

He was a nobleman who possessed a spirit called the Blood Demon.

So I thought that finding him was the most important task I could possibly tackle.

So, I was planning to help him out a bit and find out more about him.

however.

“Who are you?”

After leaving Cheonghae, less than a day later, Jeok A-rin was thrown into confusion.

And Jang-seo, who had been admiring her reaction, had a look of satisfaction on his face.

Judging from the expression, it looks like it was made very well.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s not just okay, it’s a completely different person!”

It was just as she said. The original Jang Seo was nowhere to be found, and a middle-aged man carrying a bundle was standing there.

Clearly, we stayed in the same guest house, came up with a bottle of alcohol and were in the same space, and even before I went to bed, that face wasn’t there.

But when I woke up after closing my eyes for an hour or two, I was a completely different person.

“What kind of assistant even makes a face mask?!”

“It’s a trick learned over the shoulder.”

“If I had learned properly, I could have even transformed into an animal.”

There were many who used the Blood Cult’s Grabbing. Rather, they were much more skilled than most places.

Isn’t the Blood Sect good at both sorcery and organ cultivation, and good at all things?

However, the cotton batting made by Jang Il-seo was by no means something that could be made over the shoulder.

If you think about it, the reason I was deceived in the Kunlun Mountains was the same. Even then, it was so precise that I thought it was a real face.

‘There’s no way this won’t fool you!’

Even his eyes seemed to have become a bit cloudy and his speech seemed to have become slightly slurred.

‘Let’s see some acting.’

Is this the job of a rascal’s assistant? In fact, it would be more believable if it were a traveling theater troupe.

And that wasn’t all that was strange.

“What are you doing? Why are you fishing? Isn’t it urgent? No, wait. Why are you putting poison in the fish you caught?!”

As soon as he entered Sacheon, he went straight to the river and started poisoning the fish he caught with his nails.

Then, he put it in a container and left it in a place where no light could reach it.

The fish’s eyes, wide open, looked so sad.

And he cut off the rotten scales of the rotten fish with a small knife, and ground them and ground them into powder.

Finally, he spread it out on some crumpled yellow paper, shook it off, folded it up again, and put it in his bosom.

When I asked what on earth they were doing, the answer I got was even more shocking.

“This is a gift for Oh-Hyung.”

Crazy guy.

‘It’s definitely our department. We passed.’

The more I looked at Jang Il-seo from the side, the more suspicious she seemed, but I liked her.

Anyway, his bizarre behavior didn’t last long.

Ohungdo must have been in a hurry, because he got angry as soon as he stopped by the inn in Sacheon Village.

“Someone told me to pass this on!”

When I opened the letter that the young Jeomsoi had handed me, there was a concise sentence written in red.

【Yangjiang River Tailing Gorge】

It’s an invitation. Oh-Hyung has decided on a place to meet. Jeok-A-Rin smiled as she handed over the letter.

“I’m not the type of person to meet you in a place like this. What, did you smell something?”

That could be the case. It would be quite questionable that he would have left for the wilderness without even leaving a body behind.

“Is it okay for me to just go without any preparation? He’s such a sinister person.”

“If I can’t catch the five evil spirits, isn’t that a good thing for you?”

“Well, that’s true.”

“Then go.”

Jeok A-rin shrugged her shoulders. To be honest, she didn’t quite understand. What would happen if the two of them went there without a plan?

Of course, there’s no guarantee that he’ll come alone. Moreover, he might betray himself.

‘Jang I-seo. Aren’t you underestimating Oh-hyuk too much? It’s also a problem if you’re overconfident.’

But the situation he was in wasn’t so bad.

You’ll be relying on me that much.

It’s only natural to hum along the way.

And as expected, when they arrived at Taereunghyeop, the variable that Ohyung had prepared greeted the two.

“Haha, you used your head a lot… … ?”

A boat floating in the middle of the vast Yangtze River.

In Naruto, a man who appeared to be one of the Five Evils’ subordinates blocked the road.

“He said that he would not meet you in person today, but would convey the message through me as his agent.”

A black mask and a bamboo sword. An ordinary sword without any markings that make it difficult to identify one’s identity.

And judging from the disrespectful attitude towards the enemy… … .

‘I do not belong to the blood sect.’

And Jeok-A-Rin, perhaps feeling hurt inside, smiled and showed off her cool demeanor.

“They made me do this hard work and I’m not getting treated well. It makes me want to kill them all.”

Shhhhhhhhhh!

The murderous intent spread and Soo-ha staggered backwards. It was clear that he was not at the level to be feared in the first place.

But he spoke firmly, as if he had no intention of giving in.

“I need to make sure that things are handled properly first. Please tell me where the body is. I believe you will understand, as this is for the success of the undertaking.”

The younger brother turned around without answering and glanced at Jang Yi-seo. He asked what he should do.

I was lost in thought for a moment.

I could kill this guy right now and jump onto that ship. It wouldn’t be that hard.

but.

ping!

『Heavenly Demon Eye』

Jang Yi-seo looked around silently.

The energy of the Heavenly Horse spreads in all directions.

As it reached its peak, the range it extended itself to became of a different dimension.

The invisible circle of energy soon spread out to a radius of one hundred paces.

Then, sounds of life begin to be heard from the forest on the side.

A warrior hiding silently. And a horse tied up not far away.

Jang-seo realized the situation right away.

‘That ship is a trap. There is no evil there. I am trying to check the reaction and identify the enemy first.’

As she said, Oh-Hyung’s head was covered.

We were extremely cautious about the enemy who suddenly disappeared into the wilderness.

If you try to get rid of the men in front of you and force them onto that ship, the men in the forest will ride away on horseback.

Then the evil spirit will try to hide in even deeper darkness.

Also, even if you interrogate those who do not give in despite being drenched in cold sweat due to the enemy’s will, there is no way they will tell the truth.

‘Haha, Jang-seo. What should we do now?’

This is a truly awkward situation.

But at that moment, Jang Yi-seo took out a crumpled sheet of yellow paper from his bosom.

‘That’s… … ?’

It was clearly sprinkled with rotten fish scale powder. A gift for the Five Hundred Demons!

When Jang Yi-seo handed it to her, Jeok Ah-rin accepted it with a puzzled look and opened it.

And then my eyes widened.

‘Degree chart?!’

It’s clear. It’s a monk’s identity card issued by the royal family.

This is a badge that all formal monks must have, as those without it are called private monks and are not recognized as monks.

That too is none other than the Sadaegumgang Wondam.

In short, it is clear evidence that Won Dam was killed!

‘What the heck, did you know that this would happen?’
