Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 214
Joint (5)
In Pyeongryang-hyeon, Gongdongsan was located close enough to see the mountain itself. Of course, this was the distance based on the central plains.
After moving for about an hour, Ilmok and his group were able to reach the entrance of Gongdongsan Mountain.
They took turns standing guard at the entrance of the mountain, recovering their internal energy through the Un-gi breakfast, and then entered the public mountain.
The group followed the path where people had come and gone, and soon after they began to climb the mountain, they began to feel the mountain’s mystical energy.
Immediately after climbing up the path to the middle of Gongdongsan Mountain.
“I will be back soon.”
Dambin, who was walking in front, said this and then used his stealth ability to hide himself in the darkness.
And after about a day, she came back.
The group began to climb the mountain again following her guidance, and soon a single pillar gate with the words [Gongdongpa] written on it appeared before their eyes.
As if they were calling themselves the shamans of the communal faction, they were sitting firmly on the hillside of the communal mountain.
And in front of that gate, there was a Taoist monk lying on the ground, trying to sleep.
Dam-bin passed the Taoist monk with an indifferent attitude and headed towards the public sect, and the group followed her.
It was only when I passed by the sleeping Taoist monk that I saw the small hole in his body and the blood flowing out.
It could be said that this was the result of Dam-bin processing it first.
“How many people were there?”
Dam-bin answered Ilmok’s question with a wicked smile.
“There were three more left inside, Your Majesty.”
Perhaps those three also went to the afterlife without even knowing that they were dead.
It was a strange thing. There were more than ten halls within the communal sect. Only four. No, it was too big a space for eight people, including the Taoist monks I had seen in Pyeongryang-hyeon, to live in.
However, Ilmok and his group did not feel any particular sense of discomfort.
Because it was very similar to the story I had heard from the Taoist priests who had tortured me in Pyeongnyanghyeon.
They passed the pavilions of the communal sect without delay and entered the bushes behind the communal sect.
After a while of crossing the lush bushes that exuded a mysterious aura, a dead end appeared.
It was a cliff.
Wheeing!
Take a moment to look at the cliff from which the fierce wind blows like a ghostly sound.
Dam-bin flew straight into the air, and as her body began to fall, it disappeared under the cliff.
But despite the terrible consequences, the group did not hesitate and continued to leap towards the cliff.
Pot.
Finally, just after Ichimoku threw himself towards the cliff.
Surprisingly, the cliffs that had filled my entire view had disappeared without a trace. The wind and the gloomy atmosphere that had been creating an inexplicable atmosphere had also disappeared.
The cliffs, the thick bushes, the twists and turns, and the wind. It was all because of the formations created by the swindlers disguised as the Gongpa.
They had hidden the place where they sacrificed people in this way, and on the outside they were pretending to be normal people, disguised as communal sect priests.
“This is where it gets real, so brace yourself.”
As he said that, he looked at the dense bushes spread out before his eyes.
‘How many people have these crazy guys killed?’
Although it was a communal mountain called Yeongsan, it was overflowing with a damp and evil spirit.
Since all of the Hyukryun Seon-a group had graduated from the Magic Academy, they had completed training in the formation method.
To be precise, those who have learned how to deal with the formation.
And they knew the formations very well, having learned them through temporary instructors dispatched from Bagua Jeon.
The fact that entering a place where sorcerers or Taoists have set up a plan is close to suicide.
If there was one bright spot, it was that Ilmok and his group had entered somewhat prepared.
After torturing the four Taoist priests I had subdued and interrogating them using pollen, I obtained information about the formation laid out here.
There had to be a path for the Taoist priests to travel along with the common people they would sacrifice, and Ilmok and his group walked along that path.
Wheeeeeeing.
The most experienced of them all, Dam-bin, was leading the way at the front, while Ilmok was following the group at the rear just in case.
It wasn’t that I was at the rear to delegate dangerous tasks to others.
Since he had the best sense of humor, he would watch over his group from behind and prepare for any eventuality.
“Miss Jeong. Be careful.”
Jeong-Hyeon, who was walking right in front of Ilmok, flinched at Ilmok’s remark and lowered his head.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
“You don’t have to be so nervous. No matter how gloomy and evil the atmosphere is, as long as you don’t deviate from the norm, there won’t be any problems.”
Ilmok said that to appease her, but Jeong-hyeon wasn’t frozen because of the ghosts in this place.
Because it was a dangerous place due to the formation, the group was stuck together and moving, so they were frozen.
‘Well, I’m glad that the last training was helpful.’
The training she recalls was Operation Okmyeon Gongja.
Several times I was surrounded by women while dressed as a man.
Thanks to overcoming several crises from the devil’s possession and the devil’s mind, I was somewhat used to being close to people.
That means, I got used to it enough that my face would turn pale and I would sweat profusely, but I wouldn’t faint.
From then on, Ichimoku stayed at the very back, keeping an eye on the group to make sure they didn’t stray from the path or make a mistake.
“Your Majesty, please concentrate.”
“Seon-ah. Be careful.”
While Ilmok was taking care of his party from the rear.
Dam-bin at the forefront was walking in search of the path of life based on the information the Taoist priests had given him.
Even in the midst of the pressure of walking on thin ice, where one wrong step could lead to being trapped in the formation, she calmly led the group.
The moment she took the last step she had heard from the Taoists.
The dense bushes that had filled the area just a moment ago, and the ghosts and ghostly sounds that had slowly eaten away at my spirit, had disappeared without a trace.
“Hmm? You came back sooner than I thought.”
At that moment, someone spoke to her.
He was one of the disciples of Guigoja.
He mistook Dam-bin for a colleague.
It was partly because she had come this far without being influenced by the formation, but it was mostly because of her attire.
Just in case, four of her companions, including her, were wearing the clothes stolen from the Taoist priests.
Of course, I couldn’t wear clothes that were worn by others, not even clothes that were splattered with blood.
The Taoist priest, who momentarily mistook Dam-bin for a colleague because of the ambitious view, immediately frowned.
It was only later that I noticed that the aura I gave off was different from that of my fellow Taoist priests.
“What the heck….”
The Taoist tried to say something, perhaps to call his colleagues.
“Ugh… .”
Before the bastard could finish speaking, the black thread that Dam-bin had shot pierced the Taoist monk’s throat and heart.
A refreshing smile appeared on Dam-bin’s face as he quickly dealt with the Taoist monk.
“Whew. This way is more comfortable.”
Even for an experienced person like her, leading the group within the formation was a burden.
It might have been more suited to her to assassinate someone like this.
After dealing with the Taoist guarding the entrance, she quickly left the area, and the rest of the group began to leave the formation one by one.
The last one to escape was Ilmok, who quickly figured out the situation after discovering the Taoist priest lying on the ground with a thread in front of him.
“If we delay any longer, they might sense us, so we’ll attack right away.”
As they passed the corpse that Dambin had disposed of, they soon witnessed a strange sight.
An altar-like structure with strange patterns engraved on it was located in the center, and around the altar were gathered about fifteen Taoist priests.
While the Taoist priests went to Pyeongnyang-hyeon to seek out sacrifices, they were preparing to perform a human sacrifice here.
Among them, Ichimoku’s eyes turned cold as he discovered a monk holding a sharp sword in the center of the altar.
‘That guy is a ghost.’
The master and leader of the Taoist priests who committed evil deeds here.
The goblin also frowned when he saw Ilmok and his party.
“Tch. What a pity. The flies are already showing up.”
The Taoist priest who said this pointed to Ilmok and his group with the sword he used for human sacrifice and gave an order.
“Clean it up.”
As soon as his instructions were given, the Taoist priests began to make hand signs or take out talismans or Buddhist implements from their sleeves.
Pot!
At the same time, Ilmok and his group launched light attacks at the Taoist priests and dug in.
As Ilmok swung his sword into the air, the sword energy held in his sword cut through the air and flew towards the Taoist monk at the very front.
Then, the great Taoist priest, with a startled expression, held out the talisman and recited a spell. The talisman unfolded stiffly and something amazing formed.
bang!
Immediately afterwards, the sword and the shield clashed, and the two energies canceled out.
Wedge!
And then, an arrow shot by Jeong-Hyeon passed by his comrades and headed towards the Taoist monk.
Zzz!
The arrow was lodged right in the forehead of the Taoist monk who had created the illusion.
“Ugh… .”
Immediately after the Taoist monk at the very front lost his life in vain.
“Die!”
Along with the cries of the angry Taoist priests, various spells were unleashed targeting Ilmok and his party.
A bundle of talismans with crimson writing on them flew in like birds of fire, and when he swung his crimson-dyed staff, lightning bolts shot out.
With their strange sorcery, Ichimoku created a sword energy and swung his sword greatly to form a sword curtain.
Jin Ha-yeon, who was running beside him, also held a pair of swords in his hands and swung them in a large circle, forming an ice wall.
“Whoaaaa!”
In the case of Guyangmun, he displayed a refreshing swordsmanship and successively cut down the phoenixes flying towards him.
The three who rushed towards the Taoists from the front managed to block most of the spells, but some of the spells flew past them and towards the rear.
It was aimed at Jeong-Hyeon, who had just shot an arrow and killed a Taoist priest.
“Haat!”
However, Hyukryun Seon-ah and Ju Seo-yeon, who were waiting around Jeong-hyeon, quickly swung their swords and spears to block the attack.
Wedge!
Meanwhile, Jeong-Hyeon, who was taking stock of his bow again, shot an arrow that pierced the heart of another Taoist monk.
In addition to that.
Crunch.
The black thread that Dam-bin had shot had already pierced through another Taoist monk’s bloodline.
Thanks to the protection of Jeong-hyeon and Dam-bin, Ilmok, Jin Ha-yeon, and Guyang-moon were able to attack the Taoists with much greater ease.
Kwajik!
At the sight of his disciples falling to their deaths one after another right before his eyes, Guigoja frowned again.
It was not a face that mourned the death of his disciples.
‘Tsk. They were useful guys.’
All I felt was the inconvenience of having to train a new slave to do the chores for me.
“The incompetent rascals are finally leaving after serving their last useful purpose.”
While the disciples were falling to their deaths, the goblin who was muttering something incomprehensible threw out the sacrificial sword he was holding in his hand.
Towards the heart of the disciple who was beside him.
Crunch.
The disciple fell down with a face full of doubt at the unexpected blow from behind.
The blood that gushed out from his pierced heart began to soak the center of the altar.
Then, the goblin chanted a spell while sticking the sacrificial sword stained with the disciple’s blood into the center of the altar.
“Wage and salary regulations!”
At the same time, the altar began to absorb the blood on the sword and the blood gushing from the disciple’s heart.
Guigoja. He has been secretly creating a formation for emergencies, even deceiving his disciples.
It was not yet fully completed, so it was a formation that could not be activated with just the blood of one disciple, but he did not care.
Anyway, the disciple who was bleeding right now wasn’t the only one he stabbed.
The blood that gushed out from the bodies of the disciples who fell to the ground after being attacked by Ilmok and his party was also sucked into the gaps in the altar’s engravings.
No, the altar sucked blood greedily as if it were a living being.
“crazy.”
The moment I saw that bizarre sight, Ichimoku let out a curse without realizing it.
Kwaaaaahhhh!!
A huge, ominous aura of crimson color filled the surroundings and engulfed them.
