Chapter 75. Who Dare to See Ghosts? (4)

Swish-

The rain poured down heavily. It soaked the ground in the field and everyone standing or lying on it.

“Who are you?”

The Nakilgeom Yukjamun glared at Jin Ga-yong, overcome with indescribable emotions.

Jang An Il-geom Ma-sik is dead.

Hyun Bing-ok and Gwak Ja-ui are also dead.

Hongmiwon Wang Gogyeom also seemed to have a murderous mind.

Because now, the only one standing on two legs on the lion’s side was Yukjamun himself, and now he himself will soon be… … .

My blood boiled with anger.

He knew that he could die in this dangerous world. But this wasn’t it. This couldn’t be happening. So Nakilgeom vented his anger and asked for an answer again.

“Tell me. What is your true identity?”

***

The problem was the curvature of the ear.

When Nakilgeom heard that sound, he felt goosebumps and was startled by the coldness that squeezed his heart. So he turned around while protecting his heart with his internal energy, and saw that Jang Anilgeom Masik was already being stabbed by the old man of Shandong.

… … !

In Masik’s case, unlike Nakilgeom, he was in the middle of a fierce battle with the old man of Shandong, so he was hit directly by Guigokseong without any resistance. As a result, he temporarily suffered a heart attack, which soon resulted in him being helplessly attacked by the old man of Shandong’s sword.

However, there were several additional factors that made the two people’s reactions to the same curvature so starkly different.

First of all, Masik was closer than anyone else, and there was a difference in their internal energy methods. Nakilgeom had learned the internal energy of Hyunmunjeongjong, a shamanistic sect, so he had the power to resist evil spirits and protect himself from the evil energy of ghosts, but Masik did not. Also, Masik had betrayed his lord just before and revealed his evil intentions to others, and his mind was in disarray. In other words, he was in a perfect psychological state to be tempted by ghosts.

‘Not good!’

Nakilgeom was shocked and immediately tried to throw himself at Jin Ga-yong, the mastermind behind this incident.

At that moment, Jin Ga-yong pointed his left hand somewhere and snapped his thumb and middle finger. Immediately after, a terrible woman’s scream echoed through the field from the direction his left hand was pointing.

“Kkiya- ahh~”

The degree of crookedness may vary, but it has taken a toll on the soul of everyone without exception.

The intensity was particularly severe for Masik, but if I had to pick the next person who was shocked, it would be Hyeon Bing-ok-su Gwak Ja-ui. Her mind was in utter disarray as she was anxiously staring at him with her eyes wide open and muttering indescribable nonsense. So she stopped walking in the pain of her heart being squeezed, grabbed her heart, and trembled.

However, Ahu, who had this golden opportunity, unlike the old man of Shandong, had no way of taking advantage of it. Although to a different degree, he was also filled with the dark symbol of a thief, and the shock of the evil spirit was considerable.

Anyway, Jin Ga-yong snapped his fingers at Hyun Bing-ok-su, who was unable to move. It was towards her, who was about thirty feet away.

Exactly.

A dark servant arose from the shadows behind Hyun Bing-ok-su.

Swish.

It was the first ghost to respond to Jin Ga-yong’s call. It was like a black fog, and its shape was hard to see, but its two bloodshot eyes were clearly burning and leaking sparks.

The ghost grabbed Hyun Bing-ok-su’s neck with both hands that protruded from its torso and twisted it halfway. Crunch. After forcing her to turn around, it observed the fear in Hyun Bing-ok-su’s eyes with its own bloodshot eyes.

Hyun Bing-ok-su let out a distorted scream like a flood from her broken neck, and the ghost, satisfied, swallowed her head and chewed and crushed it, making a ‘grunt~ grunt~’ sound.

“Shout!”

As if denying what he had seen or trying to shake off the fear that was creeping up on him, Nakilgeom let out a loud roar and flew towards Jin Ga-yong.

When the Songmungo sword of the Nakilgeom stabbed, Jin Ga-yong’s sword, Hwang Sang-hwa, blocked it.

Window~

As the Songmungo sword drew a circle and rolled up, Hwang Sang-tae also turned around and did another round.

At that moment, the left hand of the Nakilgeom suddenly struck Jin Ga-yong’s abdomen. It was the 36-second cotton palm that the shamans were proud of. Then, Jin Ga-yong’s delicate jade hand took the shape of a dragon’s claw and slashed at it.

Chook-

Blood fell out in a spurt along with the sound of silk ripping.

Nakilgeom was surprised and bit Jang, and Shinhyeong was bitten along with him. At that moment, he forcefully shook off the sword he had attached, and an ominous sound whispered in his ear.

“#@~ Aㄹ 유 ㅇ$?”

It was an unknown word. But is that the problem? The problem must have been that someone whispered it to him.

Nakilgeom recalled the terrible incident that had befallen Hyunbingoksu. He turned around in a fit of a fit and slashed his back with the Songmungogeom.

Hung-

There was no one.

Instead, Jin Ga-yong, who had suddenly come over, pointed a dot at him with his current situation. A quick move that happened in a split second. The result was deep and heavy.

The sunset sword wavered.

Jin Ga-yong charged, and Nak-il-geom belatedly concentrated and fought back, but the blow he had already allowed was painful. Nak-il-geom tried to counterattack while being driven back, but Jin Ga-yong did not give him any excuse. The planned sequence. After more than ten seconds, Nak-il-geom finally had no choice but to allow Jin Ga-yong to strike with a second strike, a third strike, and a third strike.

Pok. Pok. Pok.

So the moment Jin Ga-yong put away his sword, the Nak-il sword still stood, but it was no longer alive.

***

“Who am I?”

The rain poured down more and more heavily, and Jin Ga-yong questioned while getting hit by the rain. His face was extremely cold.

Even though I was trying to embrace it and die, it was they who called it out… … .

I understand. Humans see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe. That’s why when their faith is broken, they even start to doubt what they saw.

“A ghost’s mask. It’s the mask you guys put on me.”

As Jin Ga-yong spoke, rain poured down like a torrent, drowning out the sounds of all things in the universe. So, there was no way of knowing whether the fallen Nak-il-geom had heard him.

Swaaaah-

The Yeonman Plain was filled only with the sound of pouring rain.

***

The shield was so hazy that it was difficult to identify objects. It was because the island was triple-layered and everything was stripped away. Thanks to this, I was able to avoid fatal wounds while being pushed back by the Sunset Sword’s barrage of attacks, but now I was at my limit.

Someone approached him from behind that shelter, and even in his confusion, he could tell it was her.

“Are you done?”

“Yes. It’s all thanks to you.”

“Then… um!”

The hot air flowed inside. Jin Ga-yong felt the pulse and let his inner energy flow. The powerful air supported Bi-ho’s disorganized eight meridians and flowed into his dantian, filling them up like watering cracked and dry fields.

Ugh.

Biho vomited out dead blood. The suffocating weight on his chest was relieved, and a warm warmth spread throughout his body. Thanks to this, his body rapidly became tired, and he became even more confused as to whether this was a dream or reality.

Suddenly, Biho realized that Jin Ga-yong wanted to leave like this. So, even while he was wavering, he wanted to ask urgently.

But what do you ask?

You knew from the beginning that she was going to leave, right?

‘And yet… I’m not mentally ready yet, so you’re asking me to stay with you for just a few days? Hmm, yes. I had a gold hairpin. You said you had something for me, so just for a few days… … .’

At that moment, Jin Ga-yong’s hand went into Bi-ho’s arms and when it came out, he was holding a gold hairpin.

“Tell her that she is grateful and that she will treasure this as a farewell gift. And I will also treasure it as a good memory.”

“Uh… where are you going?”

“Just wherever your feet take you?”

“Maybe someday… … .”

“Yeah. Maybe someday.”

“… … !”

Biho lost consciousness with a feeling of being lost. Jin Ga-yong had left, and so the last thing Biho remembered was the sound of rain pouring down as if it was a curse telling him to let go.

Swish-

***

The results of the duel on the secondary plains have been announced.

A landslide victory for Jin Ga-yong!

Kwak Nan-hoe personally came forward and expressed regret and said that he would accept the result. He also promised to faithfully carry out the agreement made before the duel.

1. I will not take any retaliatory action against anyone on Jin Ga-yong’s side in relation to this incident.

1. I will restore the honor of the Yeosan Jo family and track down and punish those who slandered them.

1. If the descendants of the Jo family try to establish a base in Yeosan again, Sajabang will take the lead in providing assistance.

Since all of these promises were notarized by three factions of the Gudaemun faction, the Hwasan faction, the Jongnam faction, and the Cheongseong faction, no one could doubt the intentions of the Sajabang.

In that sense, it was a clean finish.

But the price that the Lion King had to pay for doing so was not small. Its reputation was damaged, its status was shaken, and in reality, it cost a huge amount of money to compensate for the damage. It was so staggering.

But this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Don’t they say that a crisis is always an opportunity?

Sanye Kwak Nan-hoe took the lead and demonstrated outstanding work performance. In the process of handling the work, he not only stamped his face on the powerful figures in the political and commercial world, but also completely eliminated the shadow of Hoyeon-sang that had been lingering in the Sajabang. Furthermore, he was also able to clean up a considerable portion of the subversive movements within the Mujin Alliance.

Wouldn’t that be a good excuse to dance the sword dance?

At the same time, she announced the names of those who remained on the list of the Chumyeondae, and announced a new wind of blood. To this end, she even showed her cunning by drawing in the military power of the Mujin Alliance. This was because the names on the list were so vicious that public opinion was favorable to them.

Not only that. She was able to politically entangle the Hwasanpa, Jongnampa, and Cheongseongpa factions, which she claimed to be under the watchful eye of, and even had the talent to make these three factions appear to be her supporters.

As Biho said, it was not a bad choice at all, as Gwak Nan-hoe spread his wings that had been curled up for a long time.

***

What would have happened to Jin Ga-yong’s side, who had won the duel?

That day, Jin Ga-yong said goodbye to Bi-ho and left first. He did not say a word to his colleagues, but simply offered a lottery ticket as a courtesy.

So I thought it was okay for others to be a little confused. The Jin Ga-yong they knew was originally a difficult and strange being, especially his last appearance. However, Hyung Woo-saeng was very upset. So in the end, Bi-ho, who couldn’t stand it any longer, consoled him like a child. How? When Bi-ho swore at him, calling him a “heartless bastard,” Hyung Woo-saeng initially agreed, but soon took Jin Ga-yong’s side and got angry. He said that he understood his feelings. Bi-ho said that he understood.

The next day, Hyungwoo-saeng left a letter for Biho and went to the third son of the Jo family, Ko Dan-oh, who lives in the Hwasanpa clan. He said that he would stay with Ko Dan-oh for a while and when spring comes, he would go to the Ice Mountain to find So Myeong-rang.

And the next day, Byeok-ja and Cheong-woo, who had somewhat recovered, set off. Before Byeok-ja left, he asked Bi-ho. Would you like to go to Cheongseongsan with him now? Bi-ho asked for his understanding. He said that he would visit soon, but for now, he had something to do here. Byeok-ja nodded and said.

“If there’s something to do, then I should do it. I don’t know what it is, but since I’m already doing it, I might as well have fun.”

“yes?”

“Instead, wherever you play, take care of yourself and always remember that you have a place you promised to return to. Isn’t Cheongseong now your second home?”

“Ah… yes! I will do that.”

Cheongseong said that Biho was not a burden but a home. Biho was simply grateful to the wall that told him so.

The next day, the old man Shandong, Ho Yehwa, and Yun Deoksin also left. They seemed to have become quite close friends because they had been hanging out together for so long. So, they must have saved up some money, and they decided to go to the old man’s hometown, Shandong Province, and start a small business together.

Yes, Biho saw that with Yun Deok-sin’s keen eye, Ho Ye-hwa’s words, and the old man’s determination, he would never starve to death no matter where he went.

“I’ll come and play soon.”

“Huh. Don’t think about coming anytime soon, and come when you’re ready to show it to Nobu. I’ll be furious if the heir to my business ends up being so sloppy.”

“Hehehe, okay.”

“Remember! Whether it’s Cheongseong or Nabal, no matter what anyone says, you are the successor to my way. Got it?”

“Of course. My inspiration is like my master!”

The old man of Shandong was relieved to see Biho talking so naturally and without even licking his lips. He had been worried because Biho seemed quite depressed after the duel, but seeing that shameless attitude made him think that he would adapt well and live well wherever he went.

So everyone except Ah-hu left.

In this way, they came running without caring for their own safety at the news of someone else’s danger, and naturally dispersed when the work was over. In the process, they experienced life-or-death danger, but no one made a big deal of it, nor did they make it a special point of pride.

Why would that be?

“They are the real knights.”

Biho muttered while remembering those who had passed away. Then, he glanced at Ahu who was standing next to him and said, “You too,” which made Ahu, who had not heard the previous words, look puzzled.

“what?”

“There is something like that.”

“Huh. By the way, should we go now?”

“Okay. I guess I should go.”

The remaining two men soon followed their promise and set out on their way.

***

Ten days later, Geumok Seonja died.

And there were several other minor deaths besides hers, but they did not attract much attention and were buried in obscurity.

***

Suddenly.

The door to the tavern opened, and a man who had just entered looked around for a moment, then found his group and sat down at the seat opposite them. Then, as if he was thirsty, he took a sip of the alcohol on the table without saying a word.

The first passenger who arrived clicked his tongue and asked when he saw the sight.

“Did things go well?”

“As always.”

“Hmm, so it’s all over now?”

“About?”

The man said, wiping his lips with his sleeve, and the passenger asked with a frown.

“What? Is there more left?”

“What are you talking about? The most important and fun thing is left.”

“Huh, what is that?”

“Treasure hunt. Thank you for waiting, sir. Are you leaving tomorrow?”

“… … !”

The man spoke with a smile and the passenger smiled.

I heard he was quite capable, so I took on the task with great determination. But then he said he had some personal business to attend to first. What could I do? He had been chasing after that guy for almost two weeks, and like today, he would just sit around and wait for his guy. It was so frustrating. But now that he’s finished with me, how could I not be happy?

The man asked the passengers who liked it with a somewhat serious(?) expression while filling their empty glasses with alcohol. He did it to make sure.

“By the way, are you buying this drink today?”

“Damn it. When did I not shoot? You say that every day… Tsk. Okay. Be thankful that you met Jaeshin today, and eat and drink to your heart’s content.”

When the formalities were over, the two men clinked their glasses in joy, one in anticipation of becoming rich, the other in celebration of the pleasure of this one drink.
