Cheonhwa, who had obtained everything he could from Jinju Gwang, immediately set off again.
The destination was the main building of Nokrim.
I had to check something, so I stopped by the village in the middle and sent a letter to Haomen. After that, I used all my energy to perform lightness exercises and was able to reach the bottom of the mountain where the main building of the Nokrim was located.
“Wait, how do I get into this?”
But there was a problem.
I got to the bottom of the mountain, but I didn’t think about how to get to the main building.
Should I summon the devil?
Or should I reveal myself to the green forest guards at the foot of the mountain and ask for guidance?
“Hmm. This is annoying.”
Both looked fine, but there was a problem.
He only gave instructions to Salgwi, but it is unknown whether he really came here and guarded the Nokrim General Corps or whether he is still here.
Also, since there has been a lot of commotion, the Nokrim Islanders will be very sensitive.
Even if I reveal myself, will they really guide me obediently?
I couldn’t figure that out, but the subsequent procedures also felt cumbersome.
“Well, it’s something I have to do anyway.”
In the end, Cheonhwa decided to think simply.
He thought that he didn’t need anyone’s permission to climb the mountain.
They act like they own this mountain, but that’s all, and in the end, to get what they want, they needed to show their power, so they started climbing the mountain right away.
“What kind of guy is this!”
“Stop it!!”
“No way, again?!”
Frontal assault.
The reaction was immediate.
After being attacked once, the Nokrimdos, who had been maintaining strict security, came out and tried to stop him or kill him.
The mood was quite ominous, as if he was very angry.
“Get out of here. I have business with your boss.”
But Cheonhwa ignored it.
There was no reason to kill them, and there was no need to waste time.
As he stomped forward, those blocking him fell over, and he was spitting out blood, perhaps from internal injuries.
He didn’t intend to kill me, but he needed to show the difference in strength, so he shook off some of the pressure and climbed the mountain, and soon all kinds of organs greeted him.
It was a sophisticated and clever countermeasure that was not typical of bandits.
“It’s annoying.”
But it wasn’t hard to neutralize that either.
When Cheonhwa lightly flicked the wind chime, the organs became scrap metal, and the formations were scattered and lost their utility.
It only took a moment or so for all the devices that had protected the forest for so long, and which the cowardly current chief lender had strengthened, to be completely neutralized.
Even that was almost the same as the time it took to climb the mountain.
“Oh, my lord. We’ve got a big problem. Some kind of monster is heading straight for here… …!”
BANG!!
“Ugh!!!”
As soon as Cheonhwa started to climb the mountain, they immediately began to use lightness and climbed the mountain.
He tried to inform the general of the attack and prepare for it, but surprisingly, the first news arrived at the same time as Cheonhwa arrived at the main building.
It was not only because Cheonhwa climbed the mountain so recklessly, but also because he had to temporarily disable or avoid devices that even bandits had to be careful of, and then climbed up right away.
Thud thud thud-
People poured down with him like rain.
Unable to withstand the force of the explosion, it soared high into the sky and then fell down in front of them.
“Who’s the boss here? Oh, is that the boss you call him?”
“What kind of guy are you?”
The one walking out slowly is Cheonhwa.
Although the appearance seemed like that of a heavenly being, the plan of the Green Forest’s chieftain did not waver one bit.
Is this really the answer that rules over all the green forests in the Central Plains?
‘Then there’s no choice… … .’
However, Cheonhwa had no intention of encouraging the bastard or of going back with difficulty, leaving behind a good means of communication, such as a club.
The moment they lifted the Ice Spirit Medicine and started talking, two people’s voices came out at the same time.
“I know there’s someone here… …!”
“You’re here, brother!”
It was the voice of Gu Sang-man and Sal-gwi, who were trying to mention someone else’s name in the living room while I was the owner of the Nokrim.
However, Salgwi’s voice was a little lower than that.
The reason is that the guy who approached me stealthily as if he was already there, perhaps to avoid being caught for coming late, bowed his head almost to the ground as he greeted me.
“A, a great swordsman? How can you… … with someone like that…!”
At that sight, Gu Sang-man’s eyes widened.
Given the circumstances, it would be right for him to bow his head, but it doesn’t make sense.
Because he was a murderer.
He was one of the three kings of Samjeo and a master of Hwagyeong.
Although he is superior in power and status, his personal reputation and martial arts skills are far superior to his own, and he is the best assassin in the martial arts world.
No matter how strong that person may seem, the sight of him bowing down to that young man felt unrealistic.
“Tch. Why is that guy named Salsu so slow?”
“Hehe. Sorry. I got a little injured while doing what you told me to do… … .”
Either way, Cheonhwa and Salgwi were having a pretty lively conversation.
Salgui, who had been eating, had a weak appearance as he scratched his head, his mouth covered in oil, but in fact, his injuries were not that serious.
A bit of a scratch by the standards of a martial artist?
But it was a wound that was incurred while dealing with an elder-level member of the Demonic Cult.
It’s like dealing with such a great master with only a few bruises.
That master, who called himself younger brother, was lying flat on his stomach.
And then I glanced back and just stared at the idea.
As if to ask what you are doing without even thinking about it.
“I’m sorry. I was so blind that I couldn’t recognize you!!”
Kuung!!
Only then did the idea of Guk-man grasp the situation and put his head into it.
He confessed his sins, hitting his head so hard that the ground shook.
That cleared up the hierarchy.
The eyes of the subordinates? Face?
There’s no way I’d pack something like that.
Although they live more oblivious to others’ opinions than anyone else, they are the ones who walk a tightrope while being more observant of others’ opinions than anyone else.
That cleared things up.
The three went into the inner quarters and chatted for a while, and were able to hear an explanation of what had happened.
It’s not complicated.
One day, Salgui suddenly came to visit, and only Gusang, who confirmed that he was not a fake, treated him very kindly.
I didn’t know that something like an attack would happen, but if I didn’t want to get my throat cut without anyone knowing, I had no choice.
After that, there was an attack by the Demonic Cult, and Salgwi came out first and cleared them out.
In the process, there was a lot of damage to the Nokrimchae, but they were able to repel them safely because Salgui took care of the elder-level mines that were difficult to even handle.
The only regret is that they were not able to completely annihilate or subdue them all.
Those who were captured committed suicide or made desperate resistance by lighting firecrackers, and some escaped during the commotion.
Since then, only Gusan has treated Salgwi more sincerely and has reached the present.
That’s why the body of the scorpion looked a little swollen.
“That… was it because of that? I have to give it to you. I will give it to you!”
But since I knew that it was Cheonhwa who sent him, in a sense, he was a benefactor greater than Salgwi.
At Cheonhwa’s request, Gusanman immediately handed over the sealed Asura statue he had in his possession, and also revealed all the information he had about the person who gave it to him.
It was a pity that it wasn’t much different from what Jinjukwang knew, but it was a harvest just to be able to obtain the Asura statue.
“Brother. So what should I do now?”
And that meant that Salgwi didn’t have to stay here any longer.
The original order given by Cheonhwa was to kill all those who were aiming for the plan until Cheonhwa arrived.
“You? You stay here.”
“Yes? But… … .”
However, contrary to his expectations that he would be given another job to repay the price of his life, Cheonhwa told him to stay here.
Although Gusanman treated him with the utmost hospitality so that he didn’t feel particularly uncomfortable, Salgui started to look a little uncomfortable, perhaps because her throat was starting to itch, but Cheonhwa was firm.
“They won’t give up. They’ll come back here. They’ll think they still have this. So be the bait.”
“Huh? Bait… … right?”
Because they are after the Asura merchants, they will not give up after just one failure.
That’s why Cheonhwa planned to use Nokrim and Salgwi as bait.
To lure them back in and act as bait to come after them.
“but…….”
Salgui, who understood the intention, made an uncomfortable expression again.
I know I can’t refuse, but it’s burdensome because it’s the other person.
Since he failed once, he would take out a more certain pattern, and next time it might not end with a minor wound.
It was at that level because it was at its peak, and it was fortunate that he was able to cut off the windpipe before it could unleash its magic. He knew that if the bastard had attacked with all his might, disregarding his life, it wouldn’t have been easy for him either.
What if someone stronger does so?
What if you knew you could live here and prepared well?
To be honest, it was hard to guarantee.
Because it’s Mine, and no one else.
“Don’t worry. You don’t have to kill them all this time. I told you. It’s bait. You have to let the fish bite to make it work.”
But Cheonhwa’s thoughts were different.
If you don’t need to kill them, then the ability of the killer is more than enough if you just deal with them moderately.
“You can just pretend to take it easy and then step back. Then follow them. Check where they’re going and who they’re meeting, and if you have any other Asura statues, bring them to me.”
“Excuse me, I’m not very good at tracking or hiding… … .”
Cheonhwa told them what to do, and only Gusang cautiously expressed his concern.
He said that he was the head of the Green Forest and not a murderer, so he was not good at stealth.
Not only that, but since he uses brute force and aggression as his weapons, he is also large and has a striking appearance.
So I told him that he might get caught by them, and Cheonhwa just smiled as if that wasn’t a problem either.
“Don’t worry. Someone else will chase them down.”
“Ahem. Brother. I’m confident in stealth and concealment, but stealing is a different story. Unless I kill them all… … .”
Salgui was late in expressing his opinion, but it was also expected.
So, I already prepared another pattern.
“When did I say you were alone? An assistant will be here soon. You can work together to proceed. He is in a similar position to you.”
“Huh? No way… … ?”
“Yes. The old man called the King of Fighters will come.”
“But the King of Fighters is dead… … Surely, that’s not true?”
“I know we’re not on good terms, but let’s cooperate this time. If we keep bickering and ruin things… … You understand?”
It’s the king of fights.
He had been chasing after the guy who seemed to be a traitor from the Demonic Cult at the top of the Black Panther, and had separated from Cheonhwa and gathered information of his own.
Although they spent quite some time without any gain, as they moved as a guerrilla organization and acted like ordinary people, when Cheonhwa arrived in Akyang, they managed to obtain some information and contact Cheonhwa.
At that time, Cheonhwa called him here, and considering the distance, it was expected that he would arrive here within a day or two.
The King and the Murderer.
These two would be the perfect combination to track down the cultists.
“Okay. Okay, I understand. As long as that old man doesn’t cause trouble.”
Even if you say it like that, it will still fit well.
If you don’t want to be beaten to death by Cheonhwa or die.
“And the bait is… … this.”
“… … ?”
Cheonhwa, who had revealed all of his plans, put together the most important and final piece of the plan.
This is the bait they’re after.
It was none other than the statue of Asura.
“Will you hand it over to me?”
“No. Why are you giving mine to them? Look carefully. It’s not what’s inside, it’s what’s outside.”
To be exact, it was a rubbing of the Asura statue that was sealing it.
If you make a statue of a similar shape and cover it with a rubbing of the Asura statue, they will be fooled.
Of course, it can’t be made roughly, since they can feel it with their fingertips or check it by slightly breaking the seal.
There was also the problem that simply carving an Asura statue could destroy the creator’s spirit. But that was no problem to Cheonhwa at all.
Because you are the one who will create it.
The Asura statue gave him quite an unpleasant feeling, but that was it.
If it were me, I could do it.
When it comes to statues, I tried my hand at making them when I was young.
“Let’s hope that a big fish is caught.”
Cheonhwa found a suitable tree, bit everyone, and immediately started carving, and was soon able to complete what he wanted.
Now all that’s left to do is fish them out.
