#The King is Back
The moment when Chilsogung was strengthening his resolute will.
The Ghost Demon Army’s Hwansa was facing an unbelievable reality in the Ilsogung Black Garden.
“Your, Your Highness.”
The focus was loose, as if seeing something, with the appearance of a person with a sore throat.
“Ugh… … .”
Even incomprehensible speech, like babbling.
In just one day, his master returned mad.
The reason was obvious.
“Jang I-seo… … .”
It happened to him. I should have told him somehow to be careful.
I should have followed you no matter what happened.
It was his own hesitation that brought this about.
Bam.
His teeth were gnashing, his eyes were bloodshot and tears of repentance poured out.
“Ugh… … .”
The man next to him reported with his head buried in his chest as if he was ashamed.
“When I received the report from Chilsogung, it was already a great defeat and the King of the Mountains had disappeared.”
“Disappear? Are you saying that you ran away and left the Archduke behind?”
“That’s right.”
Kwaaaaah!
The ghostly demons’ desperate roar echoes.
“Paganseooooooooooo-!”
What on earth can I do with this anger? I left my master behind and ran off to save myself.
“But I heard a strange story.”
The ghost horse turned its head with its blood vessels bursting in its eyes.
“It’s hard to even put into words… … .”
“Speak!”
“The head of the Sanwang family was a member of the Blood Cult, and the Grand Duke knew this and joined hands with them… … .”
“Who would dare to say such nonsense!”
Shhhhhhh!
As the overwhelming murderous aura emanated from the ghost demon’s body, Su-ha fell flat on his face, his breath caught in his throat.
But I had to say what I had to say.
“It is said that there are already many people in Wolha Village who have witnessed the Grand Duke unleash the Blood Cult’s magic.”
“Shut up!”
Kwaaaaang! Finally, an unstoppable force burst out from the Ghost Demon’s hand.
The seat next to the prostrate subordinate is sunken in. If he had been hit, he would have died instantly.
But I couldn’t bring myself to get rid of my luggage.
It’s not because my heart is weak.
Contrary to his words and actions, countless images of the Archduke that he had not understood until now flashed through his mind.
When I was training in martial arts, he would always make me his guard, but he didn’t let me come even a single step closer.
The surrounding area was filled with new people who were not church members.
For three years, believers from Ilsogung Palace disappeared without a sound.
If all of this is because of joining hands with the Blood Cult… … .
‘No. No. No! The Archduke would never do that. Those who would tear you to pieces are framing you. They are trying to ruin your honor in order to take the Archduke’s empty seat!’
The Ghost Army erased the countless doubts that had been floating around in his mind. Then, he asked with his teeth clenched.
“Where is Jang-seo now?”
“I heard you’re heading to Cheonmajeon today.”
“Call the Black Bomb Guard.”
“… … !”
Su-ha raised his head. If it’s the Black Lightning, then it’s the ones that the Ghost Demon Army was secretly raising to take over the honor of the past Black Lightning.
If there’s anything different from before, it’s just one thing.
It is said that he has mastered the dangerous magic art of explosion death, which is so taboo.
As the name suggests, it was a magical attack that caused one to explode and destroy the opponent.
There is only one reason to call them.
“I will kill him. I will kill him even if it costs me my life. If I cannot kill him, I will at least destroy those around him.”
The Ghost Army’s bloody uprising has begun.
* * *
– Wolha Village Chilsogung.
While a dangerous secret plot was unfolding at Ilsogung Palace, Jang Yiseo was preparing to return to Cheonmajeon.
“Are we just going to keep going like this?”
Mao barged into the room, sat down on a chair, and asked with a questioning face, holding the Spear Dragon Sword.
“yes.”
“Not doing anything?”
“yes.”
“under!”
What on earth is their plan? Mao sighed deeply in frustration.
“I will straighten out the mountains.”
Yes, that’s right.
“But what if we just let it go like this? We need to wipe out the guys under the Cheonmugi so they can’t do anything else. They’re so clever.”
Look at him. He nodded while looking at Mao with narrowed eyes.
“surely…….”
“what.”
“You’ve grown a lot.”
“Hey, Jang-seo!”
Pick smiled and said not to worry.
“Don’t worry. The school is called the school for nothing. If you try to force it back, it won’t listen even more.”
“No, but what if we just go like this? What if we get attacked on the way?”
That’s fine as it is. After adjusting his clothes, he smiled and went out.
“Hey, Jang-seo!”
As I headed towards the main gate, I saw my family waiting.
“I’ll be back soon.”
I gave them a quick greeting and started on my way.
“Let’s go together!”
In the end, Mao and Qi Wuwei volunteered to be his escorts and joined him.
“Let’s go back now.”
“Are you really just going to go?”
“Are you going?”
“You stepped in shit.”
I tried asking him questions in an attempt to somehow stop him, but he remained unmoved.
‘How on earth are you going to fix this?’
Isn’t that true?
This is the Demonic Cult. It is a world of greedy, ambitious minds.
If we continue to act so carelessly, who knows what someone might do next.
But, the rumor spread throughout the neighborhood that he was going to Cheonmajeon, and time passed peacefully for four months.
This is absolutely mind-boggling and mind-blowing!
But the distrust was short-lived.
As soon as he passed the first gate, Mao began to realize that something was going strange.
“Hehehe, you’re here, Vice-Chief.”
Golden Dragon Lord Golden Turtle Man-geum-su.
He was waiting with his men, dressed in dignified attire.
He even prepared a fancy dress suit and a large black horse for Jang I-seo.
“I will gratefully accept it.”
Even Jang Seo-do, as if he had expected it, mounted his horse with his windbreaker over his shoulder.
And then the journey begins again.
The surprise was just beginning.
“Oh ho ho! You’re really late.”
At the second gate, Myochaegyeong and Biryongdang joined.
“We’re here.”
From the third checkpoint onwards, small forces including the counterintelligence unit followed suit.
“What the hell is going on here?”
Mao finally realized that something was wrong.
Jang Il-seo was just heading to Cheonma-jeon.
But instead of attacking, many people came out to greet him and assist Jang Yi-seo.
And finally when we arrived at Cheonsanchae.
Waaaa …
They were greeted by the shouts of the believers, who were filled to the brim like a dot.
‘This was it.’
Only then did Mao realize.
What does it mean when Jang-seo says it’s okay?
He knew it from the beginning.
The moment the Heavenly Weapon collapsed, there was no one left in Cheonsan who could oppose him.
Three years ago, he proved his abilities to everyone, and three years later, he brought down Cheonmugi in one day.
A proactive move.
Who would dare to take up a sword against him?
This place was a den of demons inhabited by crazy demons, but it was also a cult of the powerful who truly obeyed their power.
So this was the return of the king.
It was an official announcement that the King of Heaven, the Brain King Jang Seo, had returned.
So, all I had to do was say one word, “I’m heading to Cheonmajeon.”
Then you will crawl out and swear obedience to him.
‘amazing……!’
And Mao felt a great thrill when he saw Zhang Li’s majestic back.
I felt the scent of an adult I should emulate, something I had never felt from my father or my older brother.
This was a new feeling.
The splendid and thrilling feeling called longing.
Of course, Mao wasn’t the only one who gained great insight after seeing this scene in Zhang Xu.
“Huh, why… … ?!”
The Ghost Demon Army’s Hwansa, who was leading the Black Storm Troops and preparing for a surprise attack.
He was in there too.
He had to hide among the believers and wait for a surprise attack, and watch Jang Yi-seo’s majesty with a blank stare.
“What should we do?”
He came to his senses again and tried to give orders at the urging of his subordinate who felt the urgency belatedly, but… … .
“I’ve waited a long time, Vice-Chief.”
He was eventually forced to keep his mouth shut by the seven absolute beings waiting for him at the entrance to Cheonsanchae.
The two twin horses of the Seven Elders, Yangyo and Yangyu.
Samajun, the poisonous snake of the six elders.
Ohjangro Palmaek Gwanggyo.
The president is a ghost and a dreamer.
The third elder, Shin Chang-ma-gwi, Maeng Cheol-yong.
Elder Lee, Masan Cheonosan.
Iljang-ro, Bukmyeongma-gun, Maileong.
“It’s late.”
It was them. The Seven Great Elders who had been hiding for three years. They broke the seal and came out.
He was even wearing the pi-pung-ui (traditional Korean attire) that he would wear when meeting the Heavenly Demon.
What does this mean?
“Your Excellency!”
Jang Il-seo shouted urgently as he watched his subordinate leave.
But he truly realized it.
I believed in the Grand Duke. I thought that the sun of the mountain was only his.
Jang Yi-seo thought that they were just a group of evil people trying to push out the Grand Duke.
But it wasn’t.
What happened to the Archduke was by no means an accident.
There was no reason for Jang Yi-seo to frame the Grand Duke.
They were just the setting moon, and Jang-seo was the rising sun after winter.
That was all.
Now, they have become a great being that no one dares to look down on.
‘Since when.’
I don’t know. 3 years ago? No, maybe it was like that from the beginning.
I was just blind and couldn’t see.
I captured his last appearance with trembling eyes.
and.
“… … I will return to the Grand Duke.”
The ghost horse turned around.
Then I decided. I would never appear in the world again until the moment I died.
He decided to live in seclusion, assisting only the Grand Duke for the rest of his life.
‘Jang I-seo. It’s your time now.’
And so the Ghost Army disappeared into the back alleys of history.
Proving that the era of the Thousand Weapons has ended.
and.
“Jang I-seo! Jang I-seo!”
With the names of the believers.
The era of Vice-Chairman Jang Seo has begun.
*
Jang I-seo entered Cheonma-jeon.
The believers remembered today as a historic day.
The sight of the Seven Elders and the heads of the clans, as well as all the other leaders, bowing their heads together, was truly a wonder in itself.
And that’s not all.
It was truly spectacular when Guyu and Chilmuwi stopped in front of Horongdang and Cheonma Daeju came out to greet them and escorted them.
With just one move, Cheonsan proved that it was now the possession of the vice-minister.
And this is natural.
“You have successfully completed the mission given to you by the cult leader.”
Proof of having passed the Heavenly Horse Test.
“Take it. You deserve it.”
Jang Yi-seo opened the black jade box that Woo Sa had given him and took out the rings and ornaments inside. He also put on the pitch-black armour.
Cheonma-hwan, which can enter and use anywhere in Cheonma-jeon, and Cheonma-ryeong, which controls the direct subordinate units.
And the one I was most looking forward to.
‘Black thunder.’
This is a black thunderbolt that the executioner made in honor of his master.
Certainly, unlike the plain and simple Baekryeo, the engraved patterns were delicate and splendid, reflecting the nature of Cheonma.
“Haha, do you like it?”
I nodded honestly to the question from the person standing next to me.
I like it.
I feel like I want to do some brainwashing right now and shoot it anywhere.
I also liked the appearance.
When I think about living as a spy, I think it would have been better if it was a secretive white thunderbolt, but after taking off the mask, this is better.
“I will guide you to the office.”
“Let’s do that.”
I walked lightly, feeling greatly improved.
