The mountain collapsed.
It was a mountain, but it was also a castle.
Because it is a place where they dug into the mountain and built a huge castle inside and underground.
In an unknown time in the past, a secret tomb built by a eunuch who had greater power and authority than the emperor collapsed completely.
Those who were buried inside naturally all died, and fortunately, the number of those who went deep inside was not that many.
After it started to collapse, there was some time before it completely collapsed, so many of the people who had fallen at the entrance were rescued.
However, two of those who reached the deepest part never came out.
They were Towang, one of the Three Kings and Three Ghosts and one of the eleven greatest martial arts masters in the martial arts world, and Akryong, a rising master of Jeongsajigane who swept the Later Ranks Competition and was considered to be a Later Ranks Master, but whose martial arts skills were already above the average of the hundred greatest martial arts masters in the martial arts world.
Bingbong Bukgungyeon and Iron Lion Majin requested a search, insisting that they were still inside and must be alive, but of course, it was not accepted.
In the first place, the two were in a relationship of mutual respect, and they did not have a close relationship with either the Jeongcheon Alliance or the Heukdo Alliance. It was a separate matter that many people would feel relieved or benefit from their disappearance.
Because the entire mountain had collapsed and they were located deep underground in the center, it required a huge budget, manpower, and time to get there.
Even if the budget could be recovered through the enormous wealth sleeping within it, there was not enough time.
Even if they dug that far, there was no way of knowing how many months or years it would take, so even if they lived right away, they were as good as dead, and because the time was short, there was not enough manpower to dig it out.
Digging a tunnel without collapsing requires considerable expertise, and there are many other places that require either unmanned or regular workers.
Because it was a time of chaos.
Because the Jeongcheon Alliance and the Heukdo Alliance were officially announcing their launch and building their own castles.
Therefore, it was impossible to excavate it by investing sufficient time, budget, and manpower, regardless of who was alive inside, or how much wealth, treasure, or secrets were left behind.
At least for now.
Of course, they kept quiet about what kind of secrets Margin and Bukgungyeon had, but it would be the same if the secrets of the peerless world were really left inside.
If the mountain collapsed and the person was buried underneath, even if it was a long-preserved treasure, it would have been damaged and difficult to recognize.
A peerless secret weapon is something that anyone would want, but nothing is more dangerous than a damaged secret weapon.
Because even if just one phrase or one syllable is misspelled or misinterpreted, you can gain the power of magic instead of world-class martial arts.
Because of this, the Jang Bo-do incident that had caused a stir in the martial arts world quickly faded from people’s attention.
Someday, when the martial arts world finds stability again and a single absolute power is born, the excavation work will be done, and everyone who gathered there was made to leave.
“Eun-gong… … No. If it’s him, he’s definitely alive. Right? Right?”
“It was something close to a natural disaster, but… … Honestly, I don’t think that monster of a guy will die.”
“No!”
“Kkiyut! Bye!!”
It’s been a week since the mountain collapsed.
Although they still couldn’t give up the belief that Cheonhwa would be alive, Majin and Bukgungyeon, who had stayed by their side until the end, each went their own way.
“I won’t be able to hear any complaints the next time we meet.”
Margin embarked on a journey of training to fully understand the realm of the Black Iron Man that he had realized during his fight with the Demon King.
“I also need to train more properly. I can’t continue to be a burden. And coincidentally… I also have a good teacher.”
Bukgungyeon was planning to return to his family and practice his own training.
It would be difficult to close the temple as we don’t know when Cheonhwa will reappear, but she currently does not need to close the temple.
It is most important to awaken on your own, but it is also important to have a teacher who can teach you the fastest and most certain way to that awakening.
– What, Master! We’re just in a business relationship. Don’t forget your promise!
It was the eunuch who had tried to take her body away.
Most of his soul was restored to Buddhahood, but a part of his soul that first entered Bukgungyeon’s body remained.
However, it was only a memory and an idea, and had no power.
It was impossible to take Bukgungyeon’s body in that state, and even if left alone, it would fade over time and disappear on its own, so it was only annoying and not dangerous.
If he wanted, he could seal that too, but Bukgungyeon didn’t do that.
While waiting for Cheonhwa, I talked to him a lot, and I agreed to receive martial arts instruction from him in exchange for granting his request.
All else aside, his skills were real.
He also learned the same martial arts of the Iceborne series as himself, and he could also handle the Ice Spirit Master, so if he listened to him appropriately, he could become the best teacher.
It was a choice I made because I absolutely needed his help in order to become stronger and no longer be a burden to Cheonhwa.
“Also, I need to spread the news of the mines’ appearance.”
Additionally, it was necessary to inform the main family or the Jeongcheon Alliance about the mines.
It seemed that some of those who had been hit by the mine had survived before them, but even though several days had passed, it did not seem like rumors about the mine had spread widely.
It is unclear whether the injury is serious or unknown, or who is in control.
But this was definitely something that needed to be made known to everyone.
Just because someone has a monopoly on it doesn’t mean it’s good information.
The mere fact that the mines had appeared, and the news of the Demonic Cult’s rise, would cause great chaos in the martial arts world, but it was clear that there would be a big difference between being prepared and welcoming them and being attacked without being prepared.
There may be spies of the Demonic Cult hiding in the Jeongcheon Alliance or the Heukdo Alliance, but they are not people who can be secretly ferreted out anyway.
The fact that they have been fooling everyone up until now means that they are acting to a level that is difficult to be certain of before revealing their true colors, so it would be better to declare the rise of the Demonic Cult to the world and have them take heed.
“I’ll take care of the Black Alliance. I have work to do.”
That’s why Bukgungyeon and Majin decided to tell Jeongcheonmaeng and Heukdomaeng about this fact and parted ways.
I thought that if Cheonhwa returned, he would probably head to Maga Cheolbang, so I thought about waiting there, but there was no guarantee, and it was also very important to report the activities of the Demonic Cult.
So, everyone went their separate ways.
About three weeks later.
A full month after the collapse, something in the collapsed mountain began to shake.
***
Bustling bustling
Pang!!
On a mountainside in Jangbo-do, where even surveillance has become lax.
The ground shook as if it was shaking, and then the ground burst open and two figures appeared.
It was as if they had sprung from the ground, taken a deep breath of the outside air, and exhaled a thick breath.
It was Cheonhwa and Tuwang who were said to have been crushed to death in the mountain.
“Haha! As expected, the outside air is nice.”
“… … A vicious bastard. A bad bastard. A bastard who doesn’t even know how to respect elders.”
However, unlike Cheonhwa, who was puffing out her chest and acting cheerfully, Towang glared at him with a haggard look.
It was a stark contrast to the appearance of Cheonhwa, who looked quite healthy.
“Sir, I thought you only knew how to ruin the fields like a mole, but you’re also good at digging the ground.”
“You rascal. I’m the king of fighting. Do you think digging this land is worth it?”
“What about the King of Fighters? He’s just a little faster with his hands. Anyway, you’ve worked hard. Thanks to you, I got out comfortably. I thought I had to blow everything up.”
“… … A guy who is strong but ignorant.”
Anyone who looked at it could tell that one side was having a hard time, but the reality was a little different.
Because it could be said that Cheonhwa’s contribution was absolutely essential for them to survive and live within it.
Shuddering at the absurdity of those words, the king reflected on the events of the past month.
At the moment of collapse, it was Cheonhwa who saved him.
As if he hadn’t left them there to die together, when he flicked the gold, a huge explosion and impact blew away the collapsing ceiling, and during that blank moment that felt like an eternity, they were able to create a hole for themselves to crawl into again and hide.
Rocks and earth were pushed in on them, squeezing them, but surprisingly, as he continued to play, the space around them was maintained as if by a self-defense weapon.
To be exact, everything that approached within a certain radius was crushed.
Of course, even so, it was a bleak situation.
If it had continued like that, it was obvious that he would suffocate to death without being able to hold out for even half an hour.
Even if he spread out the Great Way of the Ghost and minimized his breathing, it was difficult to endure Han Shijin in such a desperate situation that Cheonhwa struck gold again.
Then a miracle happened.
There was a thin hole right above their heads.
It was a breathing hole.
In a situation where it was difficult to even guess whether the outside would come out until digging a few hundred more chapters, the sound caused by Cheonhwa began to rise through tiny cracks, supplying air to breathe.
So if he had wanted to get out, he could have gotten out in a day, not a month.
But it was also Cheonhwa’s will not to do so.
As he said when he first decided to stay here, there is no reason to leave unless you take the treasures with you.
Even though the elixirs, goods, and weapons were already buried under a huge amount of sand, he did not give up.
No, I had no intention of doing that.
After that, it was a series of amazing things again.
The moment the huge amount of dirt and rocks touched his hand and the instrument, they crumbled and disappeared.
It wasn’t to the extent of turning to dust.
It was as if it had completely disappeared.
Of course, that wasn’t possible, but maybe the trick he used was something more than that.
Because the properties of the broken soil and rocks have changed.
As it was pushed out, it became more solid, and as much space was created as it was pushed out. After repeating this hundreds or thousands of times, a fairly large space was created that could be moved around.
Cheonhwa didn’t stop there, but gradually expanded the scope and began to excavate the buried treasures by estimating their locations.
And finally, at least everything that was in its last place was found and recovered.
In the meantime, quite some time had passed, and food was almost a problem as Mu-o had taken all the food he had, but this ignorant guy easily solved it.
The young grasses that formed the field.
Each and every one of those elixirs, valuable as gold to a human being, was picked out and eaten as if plucking a radish.
Even though the amount was significant, he really had to be crazy.
Thanks to that, I was able to obtain an elixir and gain a chance that wasn’t a chance, but thanks to that, I was able to recover my internal strength and energy, and I gained a stronger internal strength than before, but I never had the slightest thought of running away or attacking him.
Not only was I already beaten up pretty badly, but I also witnessed the immense and bizarre power of a natural disaster that no one knew existed.
I was able to throw away the stupid idea that I might be able to try it once my prosthetic arm was fixed and my internal energy and strength were restored.
“Ahem. Keep in mind. I’ll say it again, I’m not completely defeated by you yet.”
“Then let’s reconnect now.”
“Oh! A gentleman must know how to wait for the right time. I will restore my prosthetic hand… … Ahem. When the time is right, I will teach you a lesson, so wait for that time.”
As the last remaining king, he refused to admit defeat because of his pride, but his heart had already been broken for a long time.
Of course, I had no intention of fixing the prosthetic hand or replacing it with a spare prosthetic hand.
If you don’t fight, it’s not like you lost.
That’s why he said there was no need to be respectful to the thief, and he just ignored the careless words he was saying to himself.
“What kind of gentleman is a thief? Anyway, carry them well. If you drop even one… … There’s no need to wait, that day will be the day of the funeral, so do as you please.”
Some of the various elixirs and weapons that were found in this way were now resting on the King’s shoulders.
There are still many more treasures buried down there, but it would be difficult for anyone to find them.
While the King was digging the tunnel, Cheonhwa followed him and filled it with dirt to make it more solid.
It wasn’t easy to go back and forth and take out more treasures right away, so I packed up only the most valuable and valuable items and left, promising to come back later when I was ready.
“Huh! I’m the king of fighting. Do you think I would make such a rookie mistake? And this is just retribution for what happened inside, so our debt is now gone!”
The fact that the King of Fighters was acting as a porter would have been terrifying to other martial artists, but there was nothing they could do.
Because fists are closer than reason and morality.
The tomb king is trying hard to emphasize that it is only a reward for saving him from within.
“Hey, I have to do the math properly. I guess the reward will be when the old man hands over the treasures he’s collected.”
“… … Again, that’s just getting you there. If the passengers have already been there, there’s nothing I can do.”
“Okay, let’s go. Before those bastards get their hands on what’s mine.”
So, the two people who came back into the world after about a month headed somewhere other than Magacheolbang.
Still not knowing what kind of storms that move, the meeting between the two, would cause in the world of martial arts.
