Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return

< Return of the Warlord Chapter 75 >

[Entering the mountain.]

People bowed their heads as they heard someone’s loud voice. From the entrance of the Demonic Cult to the entrance of Heavenly Mountain leading there, not only 100,000 Demonic Cultists but also everyone in the vicinity gathered there.

Only when everyone bowed their heads did the procession begin to move.

The most advanced is Sadohak, and next to him is Gamchun, the current leader of the sect.

Elders and guardians followed behind, and at the very end, a coffin so grand that it was so flashy that it stole all eyes was being moved.

The procession, which started at the entrance to Cheonsan Mountain, was moving along the road towards the entrance to Magyo Bridge.

Move slowly.

The procession’s steps were slow, as if to enjoy the scenery of Mt. Cheonsan, which had changed over a thousand years, and so much of the scenery could be captured.

The same goes for people.

Cheon Mukwang, known as the legend of the Demonic Cult, one of the three thousand,

has returned.

Among those watching the procession, there were many who shed tears of joy and those who could not bear to shout, but cheered with just their eyes and facial expressions.

That’s how much Cheon Mukwang’s return is a great event for the Demonic Cult.

[One bow to the magic path]

I bow to those who walk the path of magic.

Everyone bowed to the ground and made their first bow at the sound of the voice that was soon heard. The scene was unbelievably perfect and devoid of unnecessary elements.

[Madoi Bae (魔道二拜)]

This is the second bow to the dead.

Once again, they bowed and lowered their heads, and there are no words to describe their grandeur. All of them were very restrained movements, as if they were filled with reverence for Cheon Mukwang.

[Entering Magyo]

Soon, I took the road leading to Magyo from the middle of Cheonsan Mountain. Once again, someone’s big words made it known that Cheon Mukwang had entered Cheonsan Demon Cult.

Wow!

As soon as I entered Cheonsanmagyo, I heard loud cheers. These are the shouts of the Demonic Cultists who were only waiting for Cheon Mukwang to enter.

If the road from Cheonsan to the entrance of Magyo was also a funeral to send him away, it now seemed to be a celebration of his return.

The loud roar seemed as if it would rip off all my ears.

But people didn’t pay any attention.

It seemed like all they were thinking about was welcoming him back with thunderous shouts.

* * *

“That’s huge.”

Dan Woo-hyeon, who was watching the scene from afar, smiled without knowing. Sadohak, who was walking at the forefront, also seemed very happy about Cheon Mukwang’s return, although he did not reveal it.

“Now it’s finally time to let go.”

I’ve been thinking about letting it go for a long time, but it wasn’t easy. This is because of the anxiety that one’s relationship with them may be severed.

Even though it was in the past, aren’t they people who were together?

Is this something commonly called affection?

– Even if I die, I will be with Heavenly Mountain forever. That’s my destiny.

– Then I guess I can just die in Cheonsan Mountain.

– no way! When a person dies, does it matter if it is in the mountains or on the streets? If I die first, please bury me in Heaven.

– Then, if I die first, will you bury me?

– Hahaha! Isn’t it obvious? Just say it. I will bury you wherever you want.

– I see… Which one would be better…

Dan Woo-hyeon couldn’t finish answering at that time.

Because there was no place in particular that came to mind.

I had never thought much about death in the first place, and since life ends when I die, what is the use of where I am buried?

But now there is.

Dan Woo-hyeon said the answer he couldn’t answer at the time.

“Honamdanga… It would be nice to be on the cliff where you were buried.”

A place where you can see Honamdanga and Dongdongho Lake.

If you are buried there, there will be no circle for the rest of your life.

Isn’t this a place where you can see how the Dansomi family or their descendants live for generations to come? There is a large pine tree that is said to have been planted by a hermit, and there is a manor that he built with his own hands.

A place where you could see Jang Sam-tae cooking rice, two old men playing baduk, a woman dancing an elegant sword dance, and children playing.

There is no place in the world as good as that place.

Dan Woo-hyeon watched his friend leaving in the distance. The sight of him passing through the center of the Demonic Cult and heading to his ancestors’ graveyard will be Cheon Mukwang’s last appearance.

So he also stood up.

I raised the glass in my hand and toasted him.

“Go to a good place.”

Soon, he brought the bottle to his mouth, took a sip, and poured the rest of the drink on the floor. The sight of it being absorbed into the ground in an instant made me feel like Cheon Moo-gwang, who loves alcohol, was gulping it down.

Dan Woohyun smiled as he looked at it.

* * *

“Oh my, it’s so hard…”

“I’m so tired…”

Jang Sam-tae, Dan So-mi, and Namgung So-hye were lying there with dead blue faces.

It’s already been over seven days.

Jang Sam-tae had to go into the Demon Cult every day to cook food, and Namgung So-hye had to carry the food while being checked and glared at by the Demon Cult members.

Lastly, Dan So-mi was led by Sadohak and had to go around saying hello to high-ranking members of the Demonic Cult, so she was exhausted both physically and mentally.

In particular, while Jang Sam-tae and Namgung So-hye could now relax, Dan So-mi, who was led by Sadohak to meet various people, could not.

“I… Sozer.”

“yes?”

A man appeared out of nowhere and slowly approached me with an awkward expression. He quickly handed me the bouquet of flowers that I had hidden behind my back.

“My name is Shim Man-seok, Elder Shim’s son!”

“Ah… yes, it’s Dansomi.”

“It was love at first sight from the first time I saw it!”

“Right… really?”

Dan So-mi took a step back, breaking into a cold sweat. When I glanced at the back, I saw a bunch of flowers and all kinds of expensive accessories piled up there.

Dansomi was going through a more difficult time of her own as elders, guardians, and other famous people, including their children or themselves, came and wooed her.

This is all because of apostolate.

Since she was introduced as her granddaughter and all, those who want to gain her power are trying to win Dansomi’s favor in any way possible.

If you want to become the next religious leader, a background in apostolic studies is very important.

Dan So-mi, who smiled so awkwardly, had to sweat again while dealing with the man for a short period of time. If it had been Namgung So-hye, she would have waved her hand and sent her away as if it were natural, but that’s because she couldn’t be that cruel.

“I… I want to go back…”

Soon after the man left, Dan So-mi, lying face down on the table, was in tears. Dansomi no longer likes seeing a man she doesn’t know come and court her, or even smiling awkwardly when she meets a stranger.

I want to leave here right away.

I was just filled with those thoughts.

“Get ready to leave quickly.”

And at that moment, Dan Woo-hyeon’s voice was heard, as if he had read Dan So-mi’s mind. Dan So-mi, who had been exhausted, suddenly got up from her seat and her eyes sparkled brightly.

The sound of being told to prepare has never felt this good.

“really? Are you leaving now?”

“So, you can’t stay here forever.”

Actually, I stayed longer than I thought.

It was partly because the funeral took so long, but partly because Sadohak waited a little while to sort out the rest. So it took longer than expected.

But the waiting ends here.

The journey ahead is so far that it cannot even be compared to the past.

“I’ll pack my bags and come right away!”

“okay.”

Dansomi hurriedly headed to her room. Although my luggage has increased several times compared to when I first came here, it won’t be that much if I take only what I need.

“Hehe- are we finally going now? “I’ve waited a long time.”

Eventually, as if he had already guessed it, Namgung-cheon appeared with luggage. There was great anticipation on his face because he had seen Cheon Mukwang’s funeral.

King Namgung is preparing just as well.

Also, since I hadn’t seen my family for a long time, I was excited to see them.

This is the same for Namgoong Sohye…

“Ah… It’s annoying… When will we get there…”

Namgoong Sohye sighed with a slightly reluctant expression. If you think about the journey from Honam to Shaman to Cheonsan, it was truly tiresome.

But what if you go from Tianshan to Anhui again?

Just thinking about it makes me sick.

What else will happen?

I was sure that it was definitely not a flower path.

“Aren’t you happy to go home?”

“Home? “It must be hell.”

“…but he still has a father and brother.”

“You don’t have to look. Let’s just go back to Honam….”

“….”

“….”

Nangong-cheon broke into a cold sweat.

As I looked at my granddaughter’s blurry eyes, I felt as if my soul had been shattered. How can a person become like that in such a short period of time?

I felt like I knew how much mental suffering I had been through.

“Nothing will happen.”

At that time, I heard Dan Woo-hyeon’s voice.

Namgung Sohye flinched and trembled, but looked at him with an expression of distrust and shook her head.

It is more realistic to believe that dogs don’t poop than to believe Dan Woo-hyeon’s words, ‘Nothing will happen.’

But I still can’t not go.

It would be more convenient for an accident to occur in a carriage than in Cheonsan.

under. She smiled and stood up.

“Then… I’ll go pack my bags.”

“okay.”

Dan Woo-hyeon swallowed a groan as he watched her back as she walked languidly. Both Dan So-mi and Namgung So-hye looked like people who had put something down.

“Hehe- By the way, what do you plan to do?”

“What do you mean?”

“The last one.”

Dan Woohyun smiled.

The one person who disappeared from the demonic group is the head of the Budan. He ran away with a book handed to him by Gu Ja-gok.

A lot of time has already passed, so I don’t even know how far I’ve gone. If you want to chase him, you can probably chase him, but Dan Woo-hyeon doesn’t seem to be particularly paying attention.

“You will find it. “Sooner or later.”
