Although Wang Kai and Pyeon Sa-gwang did not want to admit it, they thought of Nam Gung-cheon as a genius who surpassed his peers.

But that also has its degrees.

‘Isn’t it true that you have to be a high monk who has reached the peak of martial arts to be able to achieve this?’

– Since you’re in a hurry, why don’t you just grab the medicine right in front of you? –

“No, but why is this… ”

– Write it. I told you to eat it quickly. –

As Namgung-cheon’s gaze becomes fierce, the people who were just watching pick them up one by one with reluctant hands.

Wang Gae, who patted Pyeon Sa-gwang’s side, whispered loudly.

– Brother Pyeon. Doesn’t this somehow feel like that? –

– What is that? –

– Hyunggidan. –

– Hyunggidan? really? Huh. I heard it’s quite expensive. — It’s expensive. It’s so expensive that it’s not even an elixir, so beggars like us wonder if we should try it at least once in our lives. — ha. As expected from our master. Even though he speaks so rudely, he still has an underlying intention. In fact, the reason you tick like that is probably because you’re embarrassed.’

It was only for a moment that a warm atmosphere was created.

“Ahh! Tsk tsk tsk. this… What is this?”

Screams erupted from everywhere.

It is understandable that medicine that is good for the body has been bitter to the mouth since ancient times, but this was far beyond that standard.

More than anything.

“no. Aside from the fact that it doesn’t taste bad, why do I keep hearing a buzzing sound in my ears? “Isn’t this a vitality group?”

It was so bad that even Shim Young, who usually shows little change in expression, had tears in her eyes.

Namgungcheon said.

– Oh, that’s not a vitality group. What you guys ate are called silica worms. –

Wang Kai and others’ faces became as hard as stone after hearing Nangong Cheon’s voice. The reason was because of the meaning given by the word.

Silica.

The sound of bugs chirping.

‘… Then what we ate, was it really a bug?’

Perhaps because of the thought of eating bugs, the bad face becomes even more distorted. Hong Yu-hwa even put her finger in her mouth and started gagging as if she was trying to vomit it out.

Namgung-cheon, who was looking at this pitifully, continued speaking.

– Looking at the reaction, I thought it would have been good to give him real bugs, but unfortunately, they are not real bugs. It has an extraordinary ability to continuously evoke tinnitus, as if it were the sound of insects screeching. That’s why it’s called a ‘silica worm’. –

The companions were left dumbfounded by the sight of Namgung-cheon, who seemed proud without knowing it.

“no. Why on earth are you feeding us that? And that’s before a life-or-death battle.”

Do you not know how important the senses, especially hearing, are when fighting a martial arts battle?

At that very moment, Namgungcheon’s low, gloomy voice, as if he were stuck to the ground, was heard, which was quite different from before.

– There is only one reason why this is necessary. The opponent you will have to fight from now on is welcome. In other words, it’s because they are people who use illusions. –

‘ring… ‘Alcohol?’

The reason we looked at each other was because I honestly didn’t know what they were saying.

Hong Yu-hwa, who has wide knowledge in this area, can only mutter, ‘Is this something like Qi Wen-jin of the Zhuge Dynasty?’

“No, let’s say it’s true. “How does the master know that they will use illusions?”

At Wang Kai’s remarks, the group’s attention once again turned to Nangong Cheon.

‘Achacha! I forgot that. That’s right, it’s nonsense to say it was a genjutsu.’

But this time, there was no need for Nangong Cheon to explain.

“Kkkkkkkk. You, the guy I’ve been waiting for. “We only met today!”

“away! “Go away!”

The eight kings’ military officers stabbed each other as if they had met their lifelong enemies.

Wang Kai and others, who saw the scene before their eyes, could not help but be taken aback.

“this… why… ?”

“I just said it. “I was caught in an illusion.”

“under… But it was fine until just a moment ago! “There wasn’t even a hint.”

Namgung-cheon pointed with his finger to the outside of the guest room.

“Hey, you demon cultists. They’re surrounding us right now outside the guest house. Doesn’t that shape somehow look like the form of a true form?”

“Come to think of it… “I feel like my body has become much heavier than before?”

“Of course. “Because we too were under the influence of Jinbeop.”

“Then aren’t we in big trouble now?”

While people’s shocked reactions continued, Pyeonsagwang looked somewhat aggrieved.

“Didn’t Confucius give you something called a chimney earlier? If I ate that… .”

Pyun Sa-gwang spoke slurred, but people seemed to roughly understand the omitted words.

‘Well, somehow, if it tastes that great, it seems like there should be a similar return in return.’

Nangong Cheon looked pitifully at his companions and said.

“huh. “If I hadn’t been fed the silica worms, I wouldn’t have just felt heavy, but I would have lost my mind like that, right?”

“that… Yes, that is true. So what now? ah. right! Mr. Sagongja. You predicted this situation, right? “Right?”

“It’s not even a prediction… .”

To be honest, it would be more accurate to say that I hit it because I was lucky.

At first, I thought Joo Young-myeong was stupid and ruined the country, but when I met him in person, it wasn’t that bad. Then, when openness collapsed and the nine factions shrank due to the assassination of the Eight Kings’ mother, I thought about which force benefited the most, and it was the Heavenly Demon Church.

After taking that into account.

‘I thought there was a high possibility that among the demonic cults, the phantom demons that destroy the mind were involved.’

Once we looked into the suspicions, it was surprisingly easy to identify the culprit.

A very familiar scent was coming from the guy named Joo Young-myeong.

‘It was a good thing that I had prepared a lot of medicinal herbs and made silica worms in advance to prepare for any unexpected situation.’

“Soldiers, immediately imprison Yeom Sa-ho, who is guilty of high treason. “I will behead you myself!”

At that moment, I caught sight of Joo Young-myeong next to me, shouting so loudly that the thick veins on his neck stood up.

‘Tsk. Joo Young-myeong is equally unable to come to his senses.’

Still, I think we should consider ourselves fortunate that they are not causing trouble with knives like they did.

Nangong Cheon took out a silica worm and quickly shoved it into Zhou Yingmyeong’s mouth and said.

“majesty. “Would you please take this and come to your senses?”

“Ugh… What, what? “Why is there a strange sound in my ears?”

“It tastes a bit good, but it keeps me sane. “It paralyzes hearing and prevents the illusion from working properly.”

In fact, this siliceous insect was created after the righteous faction was severely punished by the phantom demon group during the Demonic War as a way to repair a barn after losing a cow, but I never thought I would use it.

“… “This was a disgraceful act.”

Fortunately, after a while, Joo Young-myeong’s eyes returned to their usual gun-like spirit after a while.

“There’s nothing to blame yourself too much for. “Honestly, anyone would end up like that if something happened to them.”

“So, that pill I just ate… .”

“yes. It is true that it is like a medicine that helps you come to your senses. “It doesn’t taste too bad, though.”

“Then come on! “Hurry and hand over that pill to my warriors.”

“doesn’t exist. “Because it was the last time you ate it.”

To be honest, I just ground up some medicinal herbs and made a few for emergency use.

I had no idea that the kids from the Hwanma side were already acting so openly.

“doesn’t exist? then… What about my military officers? “Do you mean that my innocent military officers have to die like this?”

“But there is no reason to despair.”

If the Hwanma himself had intervened in this, he would have been completely helpless and hopeless, but as long as it was just his subordinates, everything would have worked out.

‘The strategy they deployed was armillary sphere.’

Unlike Hwancheon Mirijin, which is a representative phantom illusion, the purpose of Hwancheon Mirijin is to subjugate a person trapped in a phantom.

In other words, it makes you a puppet of the caster.

That is also the reason why the political faction was extremely afraid of the Madorungga, represented by the Hwanma, at the beginning of the Demonic War.

‘You can’t help but be afraid of the worst beings who make a disciple kill his master, make his own brother kill his own brother, and make it impossible for him to trust anyone, not even himself.’

Meanwhile, Wang Gae, who heard Namgung Cheon’s words, gave a thumbs up as if he knew that would happen.

“yes! There’s no way the heavenly Chang Tian Hori didn’t think of a countermeasure!”

“Changcheon Hori?”

Toward Joo Young-myeong, who was tilting his head as if he did not understand at first glance, Wang Kai spoke excitedly as if he were Nangong Cheon.

“majesty. The name Hori is a nickname given to someone who uses their brains well. “Nangongcheon is young, but he is smarter than anyone else, so you can rest assured.”

“Oooh. “I said I could feel the wisdom in that boy’s words, and I guess that’s true.”

Hong Yu-hwa, who heard the conversation between the two, was so dumbfounded that she shook her head.

‘Hyeongi. This is a truly ridiculous compliment to Mr. Sagongja. You wouldn’t know it if you had a thin head.’

But it is also true that in situations like this, expectations are high.

Of course, the most trustworthy of these was Hyeopgeoligae Uihonggwang, but he was surrounded by a group of about a dozen people, and the inaction of the dozen people surrounding him seemed to be not easy at all.

Namgungcheon said.

“Of course there are measures.”

“Oh oh. also. You are so intelligent that you are called Changcheonho. Come on, come on! “Tell me.”

Namgung-cheon said, receiving eyes full of anticipation.

“The measures are quite simple when you find out later.”

The companions suddenly became anxious.

‘Is it really worth risking your future on this guy?’

“Hey, Sangongja? Shall we think about it step by step again?”

“Ahaha. okay. “We were a little hasty.”

At the moment when Hong Yu-hwa and others were about to stop him, a thunderous roar burst from Namgung-cheon’s mouth.

“hey! “There are still people here who haven’t fallen victim to alcoholism!”

“Hey! “What are you doing now?”

“There is no better and more certain solution than Bae Soo-jin. “If you fight with the determination to die, you will win!”

Everyone, including Wang Kai, smiled.

‘huh. We are about to die. I don’t know anything else, but the effect is certain.’

Enemies suddenly flock like a pack of dogs.

The problem is that you will be cut to pieces by that blue blade.

Zhou Yingmyeong said, glaring fiercely at Wang Kai.

“Didn’t you just say that Nangong Cheon is quite smart?”

“majesty… “Even if I can’t kill anyone else, I will definitely kill that bastard Namgung-cheon and go to hell.”

* * *

“It is my honor to meet Hyeopgeogae Daehyup, whom I have always admired.”

“joy! “You will hear all kinds of strange things from the magician’s squire!”

Ui Hong-gwang responded coldly to Leung-jeong’s words, but in reality, his insides were rotting away.

‘Each of the dozen people was at their peak! ‘Where did these people come from?’

A crowd of about 100 people that seemed to be well over their peak.

Of course, that aspect was surprising, but it was nothing compared to the inaction of the dozen or so people surrounding him.

Moreover, the bigger problem is that a strange instrument that is strangling one’s spirit is pressing hard on one’s heart.

“As expected, even the armillary sphere is weak in front of the world-famous Hyeopgeogae.”

Uihonggwang paused.

‘Horncheon Mirijin? ‘I remember hearing this somewhere.’

“west… no way!”

“Hmm. As expected, Hyeopgeolgae recognized me.”

Uihonggwang lamented.

‘Why did I forget!’

Isn’t this the cursed art that a previous elder made me sit on his knee and warned me that hundreds of years ago there was a useless art that turned people into puppets?

“It can’t be! That was put into practice a long time ago… .”

“That’s how it’s known. Then, Uihonggwang can personally experience whether this armillary sphere is correct or not.”

Ui Hong-gwang, facing Lung-jeong’s shining eyes, realized.

‘Could it be that today, instead of targeting the Eight Kings, they were targeting me?’
