“How did this… … .”

The angel and Hyojin satae stood up staggeringly. Then, Danggiryong approached with a look of disbelief.

“The Heavenly Horse… … has appeared. He has taken the Brain Horse. Ugh!”

Dang-Gang-Ryung groaned in pain and fell to his knees, as if he had already broken more than one bone.

Heavenly horse.

The leader slowly raised his head and looked at the sky without being surprised.

I already knew.

From the moment we climbed Seolbosan Mountain, the sky was extremely ominous, and evil spirits were constantly appearing everywhere.

And Cheonma would have known too.

That you are here.

You must have felt the sharp sword sanctuary.

The two people were looking at each other like that.

‘Go and tell them that if they want another war, I will fight them again.’

For them, who had already reached the peak, the distance was enough for them to feel each other’s presence.

So, the prefect felt this avalanche was a warning from Cheonma to him.

A stern warning not to chase after the brain horse again. It was so heartbreaking and regrettable.

It’s as if they themselves kicked away the child who recognized the true value of Cheonmado.

It sounds like you’re saying that the child you missed will now be raised well by the Demonic Cult.

“The leader… … .”

Everyone looked at him blankly with questioning eyes.

Then, the prefecture gave an order in a trembling voice at the end of the drum.

“The heavenly net stops here.”

“… … !”

He made a decision.

“It was not the brain but the blood cult that killed the soldiers.”

It was a new answer that was neither Zhuge Shang’s side nor Shen Sheng’s side.

“Th, what is that… …!”

“The brain demon only came to capture the blood sect.”

All the people in Sammun opened their mouths like dogs chasing a chicken.

The brain demon that I’ve been chasing with my life on the line has nothing to do with the soldier’s death.

“No, no matter what, didn’t Shinsung and the Four Great Diamonds suffer? We can’t let this go!”

Hyojin Saetae shouted in a panic. But that was even more meaningless.

“I don’t want him to be punished in Shaolin.”

“yes?”

The masters of Sammun collapsed, their spirits gone.

And then Hyun-Cheong finished speaking and quickly turned around.

‘I hope you are doing well… … .’

Wishing well to No. 103, who has left the party.

* * *

A few days passed.

Jang I-seo and his party met at Seolbo Mountain after many twists and turns.

“The genius returns-!”

After hearing Mao’s cries, he returned safely to Qinghai.

We’ve only just finished our journey, but the world has changed a lot in the meantime.

First, Shin Seung and Won Dam Daesa, who were thought to have died, announced their survival to the world.

Despite numerous questions, the two remained silent and closed their doors.

Just one. He said that he only left this one comment when asked if he had any intention of competing again.

‘The brain… … is someone we can never defeat.’

It would have been better if they had been talking about killing him. Now, there is no need to argue about it, he has become the greatest henchman of all time.

Other news followed one after another.

【Bio that reveals that the military deaths that occurred in Sacheon were caused by an unidentified woman and had absolutely no connection to the Demonic Cult.】

Surprisingly, it was the Murim Alliance that put up the room.

“You little punks! You pushed someone into a corner and now you’re saying it was a misunderstanding? You must be scared of your father and wagging your tail! Heh!”

Mao spoke confidently, but Zhang Li shook his head inwardly.

The rock carving Zhuge Liang that he knew was not a great man who could break the devil’s stubbornness.

‘The divine being has moved.’

The only thing that can stop Zhuge Sang’s rampage is, of course, Shen Zhou Wujie.

Thanks to this, the Jeongpa was able to escape from the mortal enemy that he had to kill without fail.

But that won’t last long. Once things calm down, Zhuge Shang will definitely take action to avoid any trouble.

Whether they send an assassin or reveal my identity to the world, if there are no expectations, there will be no disappointment. I didn’t care.

After all, all that was left for me after running for over a dozen years was an empty field.

I was more concerned about the unidentified woman who killed the soldier.

‘Enemy… … .’

She was clear. The Murim Alliance announced that she was involved in Wang Ye’s death and the Neungga-gyeong incident.

There was also a commotion with government troops at the city gate, so it would have been a perfect backdrop for an incident.

Moreover, it wasn’t a wrong statement.

It would be a perfect plan to eliminate the blood cult military and then blame the same blood cult for their sins.

But is it because I was betrayed, or because I received help?

I wasn’t feeling very good.

There was another thing that made me feel similar.

A child who came to see me alone with tearful eyes after hearing everything from his grandfather.

‘I’m sorry… … . I’m really sorry.’

The relief of the rock carving of Jegal So-mi.

It was her. She seemed to know everything.

That expression was so sad that I couldn’t even get angry.

There is only one thing I can say.

‘Go back.’

‘Room 103… … .’

‘Go and wait. Until I decide what to do with you.’

Jegal So-mi hid against the wall and cried for a while before going back.

As expected, it’s not a very pleasant thing.

“Ohhohoho! But wasn’t this trip to the Central Plains a true martial arts expedition that heralded the era of the Brain Demon? No one will be able to take you lightly anymore. You’re great, Jang Yiseo.”

“My lord, I congratulate you.”

Congratulations! The branch manager, executives, and all the members of the Cheonghae branch all took prizes and congratulated them.

Is this something to laugh about? Is this something to cry about?

I don’t know, really.

Anyway, that’s how the journey in Cheonghae ended.

Much gained, much lost.

“Are you going now?”

In response to the question of the approaching Manseok, Jang Yi-seo hesitated and nodded softly.

The weather is nice. The sky is blue and the distant scenery is clear. Enough to leave no regrets.

Anyway, if it’s not Cheonsan, I have nowhere to go now.

“I will only trust the branch manager.”

“Haha, until the day my lord calls me, I will sharpen my sword with a desperate heart.”

That’s a joke.

“Who are you trying to catch?”

“Anyone, anytime. If my lord calls, I will run and behead them.”

Jang Yiseo opened his eyes wide in surprise. This wasn’t a joke. He felt his sincere loyalty.

When I glanced behind me, I saw that all the soldiers of the Cheonghae branch had their chins pulled in and their shoulders straightened.

The will to do anything.

The notoriety of being a brainwashing machine must have been a valuable gift to them.

To some, he might have been a target for death… … .

“The role of the special inspector general ends here. You don’t have to follow him anymore.”

“How can that be? As long as I live, there is only one supreme being, my lord.”

“Was it perhaps because the Heavenly Demon just left like that that you were upset?”

“you’re welcome.”

Manseok smiled sinisterly.

Because I received a telegram when I met Cheonma briefly a few days ago.

[The wall has finally been broken.]

It was just one word, but it moved me to tears.

I could also realize it from the look in his eyes as he looked at Jang Yi-seo with admiration.

He cherished her more than anyone else, and the reason he sent her to Cheonghae was to allow them to meet each other.

So now the only one who must be loyal for the rest of his life is Jang Il-seo.

“By the way, if you leave this time, when will I see you again? I’m already starting to regret it.”

Manseok sighed and smiled.

It was their job to swear allegiance and to wait until they were slowly forgotten.

But.

“Branch Manager.”

“Please speak.”

“Why don’t you stop waiting and start dreaming about becoming a branch manager?”

Jang Yiseo said with a smile. It wasn’t something he said in passing.

“Are you talking about my dream?”

Is there such a thing? Or is there not? Manseokuk tilted his head with his eyes closed. How old am I, and how can this be a ticklish dream?

The warriors of the Cheonghae branch also all have strange expressions.

One thing was visible in Jang-seo’s eyes.

“Don’t you care about Cheonghae more than anyone else? So, I’m telling you to develop it so that it won’t be swayed by the Blood Cult, the Murim Alliance, or the Sadoryeon. So that it won’t be called a lawless zone.”

“… … !”

“Build a garrison and bring in warriors. Work together with the people here. And who knows? It won’t be a wasteland where people just stay and leave, but a famous place where everyone wants to live.”

“My lord… … .”

“Don’t worry, I’ll give you the funds. Even if you collect them, there’s nowhere to use them over there. So do your best. Use the summoning group I send from Shaolin to nurture talented people.”

Manseok’s face was distorted to an indescribable redness. The same goes for the executives.

I never imagined that you would say something like that for them.

I thought it resembled a celestial horse, but it didn’t.

He was not a servant, but a bearer.

I mean that too, seriously.

How can one not fall in love with this?

“I will definitely… …make Cheonghae the best land in the Central Plains.”

The four men bowed down with all their loyalty.

And I promised.

I will return again someday. No, I will grind my bones for the master of Cheonghae.

Now was the moment when a solid relationship was formed that no one could test their loyalty.

“I’m sorry to break the mood, but could you take me to Cheonsan instead of here?”

And then. Man-kwang came running and knelt down on his knees and begged.

“I want to go and experience for myself how powerful Cheonsan is. If you just accept it, I will do anything!”

Judging by the corners of Manseok’s lips going up, it seems like they’ve finished talking.

“Will it be difficult since I live in the suburbs…?”

As Man-Gwang asked cautiously, Mao, who was standing behind him, frowned and blurted out.

“If the suburbs were the problem, Chilsogung would have closed a long time ago.”

“yes?”

“Come on, Inma.”

“Yes, yes!”

Man-kwang got up and ran out, smiling brightly.

And Jang Il-seo said as he looked through the Cheonghae branch.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay. Let’s go!”

“Ohhoho!”

“yes!”

I don’t know when I’ll be back, but until then please…

‘Take care, Yuna.’

Go back.

To Cheonsan.

Now, I am a Jang Seo, not a spy.

– Shaolin Temple in Sungsan, Hanam.

“They say he went to Cheonsan. Immeasurable Life Buddha.”

Meanwhile, at a temple far from Cheonghae, there were those who sent them off in spirit, even though they could not be present.

Monks wearing neat red robes.

These are the monks and Wondam of Shaolin Temple.

Shin Seung, who had been praying for several days in front of the magnificent rocks lined up in a straight line, finally stopped and stood up from his seat.

His eyes were filled with bitterness and regret.

I desperately wanted to run and grab him right away, but I couldn’t.

Now we already know what the Murim Alliance, which should have protected and embraced him, did.

How could I face him again without any remorse?

“… … The investigator will definitely return at some point. Let us wait patiently, with courage in our hearts, for that time to come.”

“Yes, Master.”

The two of them thought about Jang Yi-seo who was heading to Cheonsan and started practicing meditation again.

And Shin Seung made a deep pledge.

I will definitely bring him back to my bosom.

‘Your Majesty… … .’

It was the moment when the seeds that Jang I-seo had sown crossed the Cheonghae Sea and settled deeply in Sungsan.
