A Spy’s Demonic Life - Chapter 95

95.

#To the village

I can roughly imagine.

The owner of the house, Myo Chae-kyung, probably sent only a few people, saying it was someone else’s business. However, the person they were dealing with was Guyu, a powerful man who had even eliminated the five generals of the Sanwang family.

It was clear that the pursuit had actually resulted in the victim.

“No, wait. But isn’t that a blessing for us? We could have ended up in trouble if we had kept those dangerous kids.”

Mao sighs in relief and shakes his head.

Well, that’s what happened.

To be honest, from Jang Seo’s perspective, it didn’t really matter whether he killed Biryongdang or not.

Anyway, this is a demonic cult.

He may have to turn his sword on them someday.

But they did something they absolutely should not have done.

‘You shouldn’t have touched Mt. Mihon.’

Mihonsan was a poison that had a negative effect not only on martial artists but also on ordinary people.

As a person who is of the opinion that spreading this is something I absolutely cannot forgive.

‘Why on earth? They certainly didn’t look like the kind of people who would do something like that.’

He didn’t see it himself, he just heard about it, so it could obviously be different from the reality.

But isn’t this too different?

Guyurani is a bandit who joined hands with a slaughterhouse.

“But if it’s to the point where even Biryongdang is affected… … Isn’t it possible that the little one is also in danger?”

The more Mao thinks about it, the more worried he becomes, and his expression becomes worried.

After much thought, Jang Yi-seo made a decision.

“Let’s go and see.”

To meet them in person.

“Really?”

Are they really the kind of people you would go with?

“Why aren’t you answering!”

Or are they people who must be eliminated for the sake of everyone’s well-being?

“Where are you going?! Hey! Jang-seo!”

I’ll have to find out.

– Yeonhwabong, volcano in Shaanxi Province

Mount Hua, one of the five great mountains of Central Plains.

Among them, Yeonhwabong (蓮花峰), at the western end, is said to have had more deaths while climbing than those who climbed it.

Jang Yi-yoon. No, the Hwasan faction that Seon-yu belonged to was located right at the top of this place.

He came here 14 years ago.

That year, he was only five years old.

‘Yoon-ah. You must listen carefully to what the adults say. Okay?’

A brother whose face I can’t even remember now.

It was the day I broke up with him.

‘What about your brother?’

‘Hyung… … will go somewhere for a bit and come back to find Yoon later.’

I didn’t know at the time why my brother’s expression looked so sad.

I just felt sorry for him so I hugged him tightly.

‘when?’

‘Um… when Yoon-i got stronger?’

‘More than my brother?’

‘I’ll come when you’re at your strongest in the place where you’ll be staying.’

‘Then I want to become strong quickly. So I want to live with my brother.’

‘Okay. Let’s do that.’

‘promise.’

‘promise…….’

That day when such a warm breeze blew.

I sent my brother off with a bright smile.

The reason my brother cried at that time was probably because he felt sorry for me being so bright.

“But hyung.”

Seonyu wiped away her tears and muttered in front of the shabby house on the top.

“If you were going to make that promise… … you could have sent me somewhere easier.”

Soon, he lifted his head with a sigh and looked around, and there was a white-haired Taoist monk with sharp eyes, who was over eighty years old, sitting with a bundle on his back.

A living legend of a volcano that feels like a solid mountain.

A tall adult who can be counted on one hand along with the leader of the martial arts world.

If we were to make a promise with my brother, it would be an absolute, untouchable barrier!

Shenzhou Five Absolutes (西劍) Western Sword, Yeojungak.

It was his own tutor.

“Inooooooooooom-!”

The mountains shake at the loud cries of the female musicians, and birds flock together and fly away.

Today is another example of how healthy his skills are.

‘If I keep going like this, I’ll be old and see my brother.’

It’s not such good news for Seonyu.

“Did you dare to disrupt the order of the volcano and still get away with it?”

Originally, Yeojungak was known for being strict like a tiger.

Because there was no mercy even in the palm of his hand, he was also called Seo-ak (Western Evil).

Why else would Jang Moon-in still be flustered when he sees him?

“… … They say that worldly affairs don’t interest you until you reach the summit.”

For Hana Seonyu, even this was now a tiresome routine.

It only takes a day or two to be called.

“Yes, inooooooom!”

Caw, caw. I can hear the loud crows going to their nests in Tasan. If they all leave like this, who will guard the volcano?

“Are you really saying that you still don’t know what you did wrong?”

“yes.”

Seonyu turned his head away and laughed.

It would be something that would make even the most knowledgeable person of the time, or even the most brilliant person, faint in shock.

Even if others didn’t know, it was possible to sail when there were only two people.

Originally, Yeojungak was not the type to give affection easily, and he was extremely picky when it came to his students.

So, even though my immediate disciples, the Hwasan Seven Trues, have become elders, they are still not satisfied.

But Seonyu was different.

‘How did you… … unfold it?’

‘report…….’

A child who was only five years old was imitating the movements of a swordsmanship technique he had learned in his later years, just because he had happened to see it once.

I’m talking about an unfinished sword technique that has never been taught to anyone.

Yeojungak made up her mind then.

This child is the treasure of the volcano who will succeed him.

So, for over ten years, he had me come up and down to his place to help him.

Anyway, Seonyu’s master, Gu Jagi, had lost his danjeon 20 years ago and was unable to perform martial arts. The justification was also appropriate.

And the judgment was right.

Seonyu’s achievements surpassed even those of his own age.

The problem is.

‘The one who is supposed to inherit my enlightenment… … even happens to have my stubbornness.’

Once you make up your mind, you won’t back down even if a knife is put to your throat.

“Seon-gwang is your older brother. He is ten years younger than you. But how can you disobey your brother who is like heaven to you? Did I teach you like that?!”

“The executioner asked me to spar, and I just agreed.”

“I told you not to show off your skills recklessly! How can you say that when you knocked me out with a single blow!”

“Didn’t the Grand Master say that when defeating a strong opponent, you must be sure of it at the start… .”

Exactly! The girl picked it up and hit Seonyu’s head with a branch.

I hit him and thought, “Oops!” because I hit him too hard.

It’s a small branch that will snap if you force it, but if Yeojungak holds it, it becomes the best sword in the world.

Blood is flowing from my forehead.

“… … Do it.”

But Seonyu remained expressionless and didn’t groan even once.

It’s really not your typical stubbornness.

“Did you not know that you were acting up and demanding to be let down?”

“… … If you know, please let me know. I need to find my brother.”

“What does that have to do with your brother?”

“How can I find it if I’m stuck in this cramped peak? I wonder if I should go out and wander around the four corners all night long.”

Ha, I’m so frustrated.

“Didn’t your brother promise you that you would become the strongest here? He said he would come find you. Then you should think about making an effort to make it happen!”

“Then please go quickly!”

“Going? Where?”

Seonyu stabbed the sky with his index finger as if rebuking him.

They’re telling me to die.

“This, this is a monstrous bastard!”

“Then what should we do? There is no way to win until you ascend the throne. No, is there anyone in this land who can defeat the Grand Master?”

“Ahem… … .”

At Seonyu’s surprising question, Yeojungak quickly turned around and stroked his beard.

A being that can defeat me… … .

He then asked in a serious tone.

“Do you want to know?”

“no?”

“I’ll tell you the weather.”

“No, I’m not curious… … .”

“There is no one on this earth who can defeat me.”

Boom! I didn’t want to know, but it was really shocking.

Doesn’t that mean you’re the best in the world?

“But how can I win!”

Seonyu is possessed by evil and screams.

But there were several meanings contained here.

‘The Heavenly Horse and Lotus Sutra. Even the Eastern Monk of Shaolin and the Zhongli Seong among the Five Elements could defeat me.’

but.

‘No one can completely beat me.’

If you fight the Heavenly Horse, you will lose nine times but win once. If you fight the Lotus or the Meng Zhou, you will win three or four times.

But in ten matches, there was no one who won all ten.

If I had to pick one, it would be just one person… … .

The image of someone she had encountered a long time ago vaguely appeared in Yeojungak’s mind.

He was a man of integrity, but he did not walk the walk.

“Since it has come to this, it would be better to close the dantian… … .”

“Be quiet! Go to the Murim Alliance immediately.”

“yes……?”

“Don’t even think about returning to the temple for three years, and serve the Central Plains. That is the price you must pay.”

Seonyu opened her eyes like a rabbit at Yeojungak’s unexpected order.

What that means is… …you’re saying that you’ll let us come down from the volcano while leaving the enemy there.

“Is that true… … ?”

“I’ve finished talking to Jang Moon-in. I don’t want to see you, so leave now.”

“There’s no need to say anything else. I’m going, really?”

“Shall I step down?”

“no!”

Seonyu bowed deeply and ran out. Then, when he had gone down a long way and was now in sight, he shouted at the top of his lungs.

“Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you so much!”

“joy.”

The girl laughed and turned around.

It was refreshing and bittersweet.

We’ve been together for over a dozen years. How can you run away like that?

But I understood.

Seonyu is nineteen years old.

An age to wander the world and see and feel countless things.

I also met many competitors around that time and grew up with them.

“I find myself thinking of you a lot today.”

Yeojungak looked down at the distant mountains and drew a picture of an old friend.

Now, he has been erased forever from the Central Plains.

The only being he thought he could never defeat in his entire life.

‘Shadowless… … .’

That’s his name.

“Become strong, Seonyu. And… …become the sword of the volcano.”

It was a day at the volcano.

* * *

Early the next morning.

Mao and Zhang Li had arrived at the wrong place.

And that too at the entrance of a village with no connections.

“Are you sure this is really here?”

“If it is as I heard.”

“under.”

Mao scratched his head and looked around his messy surroundings.

“Now, take your pick. The famous swords of the century are all here!”

“Have a glass of cool soju before you go!”

“A map containing precious treasures costs one nyang!”

A town where the noise of merchants is loud from the morning and the crowds are swarming.

That’s the place where all kinds of junk comes in without being filtered.

Jiphachon (collective village).

It was the village where the Bulmun-gaek-jan was located.

“Anyway, just try to catch this little brat.”

Mao was acting up for no reason. I heard the general story from Meng Yuanyuan last night.

Why did Maeng Hui come here alone, chasing after Cheolmajeok?

‘I wanted to be with you guys.’

You stupid kid. Then just say so. Why did you come here for no reason? You might as well run away.

Mao grumbled to himself. Of course, he knew it was forced. If that was the case, why did he want to escape from Mengjia in the first place?

If his life is one of abandonment, then his life is one of being trapped in a cage.

“Where should we go now? Let’s find out quickly and go. I’m so sleepy.”

Contrary to Mao’s annoyed words, he snorted and burned with determination. Zhang Yi showed a faint, invisible smile.

‘You look worried. It’s not a bad feeling.’

To care for someone means to be getting closer to that degree.

As Zhang Yishu smiled and strode out, Mao followed him.

And soon we arrived at a place full of pigeons in cages, both inside and out.

It is a pigeon kennel (a place where pigeons are raised).
