“Wooden Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.”
The sound of the moktak and bells echo throughout the mountains.
‘Is this the place?’
The place Jang Yi-seo arrived at after following the leader was surprisingly a temple.
The name is Daebulsa Temple.
Uniquely, there is a carved stone Buddha carved into the cliff in front of the peak, and its size is truly overwhelming.
It’s as big as a person’s toes, so it’s really huge.
Thanks to that, a large crowd of people gathered in front and prayed as if it were a holy place.
A part where it is easy to understand why it is called the Great Buddha.
Anyway, next to the rock-carved Buddha, there was a staircase leading to the top, and when you climbed all the way to the top, the temple finally appeared.
Maybe it’s because it’s on top of a mountain, but there’s a sacred aura about it.
‘But is this the place you came all this way to?’
To be honest, I didn’t quite understand. The leader was clearly a Taoist who had studied in a shamanistic sect. Why would a Taoist figure like him suddenly come to a temple?
Did he convert? Or was he poisoned and heartless? No way. That stubborn gentleman could easily have done that.
He shook his head and headed into the temple.
Then, not long after, familiar faces appeared at the gate.
It’s short-necked pork and yellow croaker.
It looks like the signposts are scattered around the temple. They’ll tell you the destination but not the purpose. Whatever.
‘The security is tight.’
The two men looked at the believers fiercely as if they would not allow anyone suspicious to enter.
Of course, there was no way Jang would recognize him.
He passed between them leisurely. However, Danmok-sal and Hwangbo-byeong did not even glance at him and just looked away.
It was natural. She had already changed her clothes, pulled up her bangs that had been covered, and changed her steps and actions.
In their eyes now, it would be nothing more or less than the first time they saw the offering.
‘Good work, everyone.’
I greeted my classmates with my heart and went inside.
The Daebulsa Temple was much larger than expected, just like the giant Buddha statue at the entrance.
However, it wasn’t that difficult to find where the leader was headed.
‘It’s so sad and wonderful.’
Because the signposts appeared at the intersection as if they had planted a flag to announce their presence there.
As we passed the bell tower and went further inside, we finally saw Jin Ja-ryang and Namgung Shin standing in front of Daeungjeon.
There it is.
But as they try to enter, a monk blocks their way.
“Your Majesty, it is time to prepare for the Dharma service. Please come in half an hour.”
The Dharma service is always held at a set time. Those who entered first were considered to be the last.
Is that what you were aiming for?
I quickly looked around the main shrine. The central gate at the top of the stairs is a place where believers cannot enter or exit.
If the leader has entered, there are side doors on the left and right.
As expected, the figure of the leader coming out through the left door caught my eye.
I bowed to the monk and walked quickly toward the path with the side gate on the right.
And two neatly placed cushions can be seen inside the Daeungjeon beyond the open door.
‘Who did I meet here?!’
I met someone by chance just before I was preparing for a Buddhist service.
Who the hell.
Since the leader went to the left, the opponent would have gone to the right.
I turned my head and looked toward the back door, and saw the back of a man walking away from me.
‘Are you the author?’
I got a feeling the moment I saw him. His gait was refined and stiff. He had definitely learned martial arts, but he was different from a martial artist.
I followed behind him without making any noise.
But the moment I was about to pass through the middle gate.
‘Huh!’
I quickly pressed my body against the wall due to the cool air.
‘what?’
You noticed?! Jang Yi-seo is one of the best at hiding one’s presence in the Demonic Cult.
‘How can you not know?’
I took a deep breath. Then I turned back to look out the door, only to find that he had already disappeared without a trace.
“haha.”
I was hit. I let out a hollow laugh. How could you read my presence from this far away and look back?
“Who the hell are you?”
It’ll be one of two things.
Either a great master with extreme senses, or the greatest spy in history.
Of course, it didn’t seem to be the latter.
“rut…….”
As I went out the back door, there was a clear trace of the carriage that had passed by. There was no way a spy would ride around in a carriage.
ping!
In an instant, the wind spread throughout the mountains.
It’s Cheonma-an.
No matter how fast you go, you’ll have to turn around and go down the mountain path.
Within moments, countless scenes filled my mind. And then one of them struck me.
A running carriage. And a coachman in armor.
‘Government troops?!’
Yes, it’s the government troops with the yellow flag!
For a moment, my brain stopped spinning.
Why did the leader send government troops…?
Why would I meet a military figure in such a remote temple when I am almost dead?
‘What on earth are you up to?’
The confusion is growing. I have to ask, what on earth are you doing?
It was the moment when I was about to pull myself together and head back to the main hall where the leader was.
“Gyaaaah!”
Sharp screams like fangs poured out, signaling the beginning of war.
Hurrruk!
Then, black smoke rose uncontrollably from all directions!
What the heck… … .
In an incomprehensible situation, he jumped up from his seat and flew up onto the roof of the pavilion.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Then, a scene unfolded outside the temple, filled with forest fires.
“What the heck is this… … .”
“Vice-President!”
And just then, a woman flew in like a bird.
“The owner of the tomb?”
It’s her. The leader of the Biryong Party, Myo Chae-kyung.
“What on earth is going on? Why is the Vice-Chairman here… … .”
“That’s what I wanted to ask. How did you get here?”
“Didn’t I tell you? I was going to catch those guys from the detective agency. I heard about it there.”
For a moment, my mind was dizzy.
It wasn’t just a forest fire. Someone started it intentionally!
‘Who gathered the ronin and set fire to the temple? They’re after the leader!’
Jang Yi-seo took a deep breath and sent out another wave of energy.
ping!
Then, the scenery of the temple begins to creep into my mind.
I have to find it. I have to find it.
Further. Further, further!
Ten steps, twenty steps, fifty steps, a hundred steps, a thousand steps!
As Jang Yiseo raised all his senses, the area of Cheonmaan expanded to a radius of several hundred paces.
For the average person, the amount of information pouring in would be enough to cause their brain to explode.
Jang Yi-seo also had blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, as if he was in a crowd.
“Vice-President!”
Even though Myo Chae-kyung was shouting from the side, I couldn’t hear her. Right now, all my attention was focused on finding those guys.
I won’t miss a single ant.
And that moment when your mind turns blank.
‘Found it!’
I thought of the ronin setting fire in the western forest and the man in black heading somewhere.
Interest is the main culprit in this!
The focus of the chapter quickly returns to its original state.
“Catch the ronin in the western forest.”
“What are you going to do, Vice-Chairman?!”
What should I do? Jang-seo tore his sleeves and tied them around his mouth like a mask before saying,
“Aren’t you calling me Jeong Ho-wi?”
Then it’s obvious what to do.
I have to protect it. Somehow.
Pot! It disappeared like a ray of light.
“Jeong Ho-wi? There is no other way.”
Myo Chae-kyung also kicked off her seat and flew away.
*
Papapapat!
Jang Seo, who was running through the temple, no longer needed to use his Thousand Horse Eyes to find his opponent.
Because it was so empty, no matter how hard you tried to hide it, you couldn’t help but feel the presence of people.
Where there is a man in black.
It’s just beyond this wall!
Boom!
As Jang Yi-seo’s sharp sword strikes, the wall explodes with a loud noise and flies away.
Truly tremendous power!
“Ugh!”
As expected, the man in black on the other side of the wall groaned and was pushed back for a while.
Judging by the black robe filled with dust, it looks like he managed to block it.
“Are you from the Blood Cult?”
Jang Yiseon asked as he calmly walked past the broken wall. The man in black swallowed his breath.
‘He’s strong. Who is he?’
I realized in just one move that my opponent was incredibly strong. Who wouldn’t know that?
Not only did it blow away the wall, but the debris was caught in the air wave and struck my entire body like a magic bullet.
If it weren’t for the dragon armor he was wearing inside, there would already be holes in his body.
“You seem to have a lot of questions. I have the same. What’s your plan? If you gathered the ronin, you must have known from the beginning that you would come here.”
“… … !”
“Did you plant a spy? Or have you been watching us for a long time?”
The man in black swallowed his saliva in silence as the questions poured in. Then, when he saw the other person’s eyes sparkle, he thought, “Oh no.”
‘Isa… … is reading my reaction.’
Instead of answering, the man in black drew his sword. He judged that listening to this man’s words would be a crisis in itself.
“You’re quicker than you look. You’ve learned well.”
Jang Yi-seo raised his eyebrows as if he was surprised.
He is a former top agent of the Secret Service. Usually, after living as a spy for a long time, one reaches a level where one can figure out the truth of the other person without even hearing the answer.
This is called inquiry.
It literally means that if you just ask, they will know everything.
Those who have not learned this will be fooled and deceived in an instant, but the fact that you have immediately realized this and blocked it shows that you have insight in this field.
“I don’t think it’s a murder case. Is it a spy organization?”
The black-clad man’s face hardened. Damn it. At this rate, every single one of them will be caught.
Pot!
The man in black frowned and shot out like a ray of light. And then he drew out his sword without hesitation.
Suwaaaaak!
“But that’s not a very good choice. You should have run away instead of attacking.”
Jang Yi-seo’s eyes harden and he quickly dodges, leaving an afterimage to the side.
And a light pat on the chest.
Phew!
The man in black was pushed back with a thud. He quickly raised his head.
‘doesn’t exist?’
It’s nowhere to be seen. That was natural. It’s already been taken.
Kang!
The man in black blocks Jang Yi-seo’s swing with his reverse sword. He quickly turns around and cuts the back!
Crunch! Did you cut it?
No. It’s a collar.
Papapapapak!
From then on, the union between Jang Seo and the man was smooth.
Jang Yi-seo was secretly surprised.
Of course, he had the situation in his hand to check the level, but he was quite skilled for a shabby tactic called chemical engineering.
‘It’s pretty good. I guess it’s not like it would be inferior to Jin Ja-ryang or Namgung Shin.’
Judging from his cheerful breathing, he still looks quite young. Where on earth is the end of the blood sect? I felt a mixture of admiration and concern at his stamina.
That’s why.
‘I can’t let you live any longer.’
Gooooo!
A vicious murderous aura began to pour out from within Jang Yi-seo’s body, as if a jar that should not have been opened had shattered into pieces.
“… … !”
It is a demon-killing feat.
The aura of a great devil fills both of his eyes, and before he knows it, dark clouds are gathering in the once clear sky.
‘Who the hell is the author…!’
And the man in black who felt this was shocked. He was going to die. He was going to die the moment he was hit. A sense of endless defeat seeped into his bones.
This isn’t just strong! Where on earth did this monster suddenly appear?
That moment when you feel embarrassed by a situation that you can’t understand at all.
Kwakwakwakwang-!
As soon as the earthquake struck, a huge roar echoed from the entrance to the temple.
At that moment, Jang Yi-seo’s head turned.
Pot! The man in black turned around like lightning and ran out.
“This time, it’s an escape. But it’s too late. If you wanted to do it, you should have done it earlier.”
Jang Yi-seo simply extended his sword towards the back of the man in black, who was just disappearing away.
Then, a merciless black blade shot out from his palm like lightning.
Wedge!
This is the Black Thunder that I received as a gift from Cheonma and am using for the first time!
puck!
“Huh?!”
A man in black who falls down with a crash after being stabbed in the back.
“Come back soon.”
Jang Yi-seo absentmindedly blurted out one word and disappeared like lightning.
“ugh…….”
The man in black, left alone, groaned. The pain made his limbs tremble. He barely turned his body and exhaled.
It flew in, aiming straight for the spine.
If it weren’t for the tiger armor, I would have become paralyzed or would have been so paralyzed that I wouldn’t be able to move.
It was a miraculous survival.
A cruel hand that is impossible to imagine being carried out by a human being.
This is someone I never want to meet again.
“Who the hell are you… … ?”
I don’t know. But it feels strangely familiar. Strangely, it keeps lingering in my mind.
I shook my head. My thoughts were gone. That wasn’t what mattered right now. I had to get out of here quickly before he came back.
That’s exactly what the once called Doho Seonyu had to do!
Seonyu, the disciple of the volcano.
No, Jang Yi-yoon staggered and left the place.
It was a meeting between brothers that had already been three years.
