Chapter 363
Episode 363: We all made a promise together (2)
Munjong, the Black Snake Light Sword master of the Four Sects, guided the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters and continued to explain the situation.
The first place we arrived at was the flower garden behind the manor.
There, three bodies covered in straw were neatly laid out.
“Take a look.”
When King Munjong removed the straw bales, the bodies were clearly revealed.
Even though it had been a long time since he died, it was in a state of no decay due to special chemical treatment. Except for one place.
All of them had sunken red palm prints on some part of their bodies, and only that part was severely rotted and bruised. It was probably a sign of being hit by a red blood magic attack.
“Haa…”
A sigh came out of Yu Seol’s mouth.
Then, King Munjong noticed and asked carefully.
“Do you know them?”
How can you not know? They were the ones who had laughed and played together at the banquet hall not long ago.
The sight of people clapping their hands and liking their stories is still vivid in my memory.
“They are all my friends. What on earth did these guys do wrong? Why were you murdered?”
King Munjong spoke softly, pointing to the signs on the body.
“As you can see from the traces, the beast’s martial arts would have overwhelmed them. But why did they have to kill herbivores, which consumed a lot of energy…”
He trailed off, as if he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
Jinsan Yu, who was watching from behind, answered on his behalf.
“It was an attempt to test the power of the red blood magic against these people.”
“You’re saying they just… barely killed him for that reason? “My friends?”
Eugene San was able to feel his granddaughter’s emotions, even indirectly.
Anger boiling from deep inside, like lava about to explode.
There was clearly a lot of emotional turmoil.
However, if you want to do great things in the future, you must develop the strength to overcome all trials.
That’s why Yu Jin-san did not avoid answering.
“There are all kinds of crazy people in the world. There are especially many laws in Moorim. So you will see more of this in the future.”
After finishing speaking, Jinsan Yu took a quick look at his granddaughter’s reaction.
Instead of getting angry, his eyes became cold and subdued.
It was as if they were going to tear it to shreds if they caught it.
“I understand.”
The rumor was no longer unreasonable. I just calmly gave a simple answer.
On the contrary, Yu Jin-san felt goosebumps rising from such a calm appearance.
He shook his head and spoke to King Munjong.
“I’d also like to see the situation inside the main building.”
The main building of Gwisalmun was a large two-story building.
King Munjong took the lead toward that place again.
“Please come this way.”
As soon as he entered the palace, Yu Jin-san’s brow furrowed.
It was a sight to see what was going on inside.
There was damage everywhere, including pillars and walls, and there were traces of dried blood on the floor.
“I guess he’s a person who likes murder by nature.”
King Munjong nodded as if he agreed with what he said.
“Whoever the villain was, it seems like he had no purpose other than murder from the beginning. “Nothing was missing and there were no signs of trying to find anything…”
Unlike the outside, we were able to see some traces of herbivory inside.
The cut surface of the pillar was cut cleanly like tofu. And even the cracks in the wall caused by the river.
Yu Jin-san’s expression darkened as he looked at the traces everywhere.
‘Even if you’re not a Red Blood God, you’re not beneath me.’
It seemed clear that the beast was a fearsome expert.
Who on earth committed such atrocities?
“I heard that in addition to the Ghost Gate, several nearby sects also suffered.”
“That’s right. Black Tiger Gate and Jincheonhoe. And even the Four Dragons were wiped out in the same way.”
“They are all the forces of the Apostolic Alliance.”
King Munjong’s eyes flashed life for a moment, but then faded again.
“exactly. No matter how much I think about it, it seems like it was the work of the Murim Alliance, but there is no evidence…”
“Are you sure that Pa-in Jeong has learned the red blood magic? “That terrifying magic attack that was banned even by the Demonic Cult?”
King Munjong nodded without any hesitation.
“It’s entirely possible since they are sneaky bastards who will do anything if they feel disadvantaged. Besides, isn’t it strange that only the red blood divine skill’s secret rank was stolen? “It must have been hidden deep in the Yongdam Tiger Blood’s Jamryonggo.”
In fact, there was one suspicious person in Yu Jin-san’s mind.
An expert with a cruel personality who is stronger than himself but is gifted with the aura of an assassin.
But no matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t make sense, so I just kept it in.
“But who would do something like that? “If it is discovered that you have mastered magic, you will become a common enemy of the government.”
“How do I know that? “Anyway, I think what Yang Kai Dahyeop says makes sense.”
Eugene San, who was contemplating his thoughts for a moment, looked around.
This was because the granddaughter was standing blankly without saying a word.
The place where Yoo Seol’s eyes were fixed was on the wall, which was the center of the interior.
There, a slip worth 100 silver coins was neatly displayed. The surrounding decoration was very impressive, as if it were an heirloom.
‘Those demons were treating the money Seol gave them like it was a treasure.’
The grandfather remained silent for a moment, as if in remembrance of the deceased.
When the surroundings became quiet, King Munjong approached Yoo Seol and asked her secretly.
“Would you like me to take out the slip and hand it to you? If you need anything, just tell me.”
Yu Seol immediately shook his head once.
“no. Please ride with me during the funeral. “So that I can eat well and go with my old money.”
“All right. “I will definitely do that.”
“Thank you, mister.”
At that time, King Munjong looked closely and asked as if he had something to say.
“By the way, Daehyup. “The showdown with the Murim Lord is just around the corner, so is it okay for you to stay here like this?”
“I haven’t forgotten. “I’m just waiting for that day too.”
“Please be careful. “That bitch will be stuck in a dead end and there won’t be anything to see.”
It was a public fact.
Originally, as an expert representing the political faction, she should have been taking the steps to subjugate the Sa faction and become supreme.
That was certainly the case until the Yin-Yang twin monsters appeared in Wulin.
But what is her situation now? Prestige had fallen to the ground and the Murim Alliance was shaking.
“If there is nothing to see, there is no need to have eyeballs.”
King Munjong nodded and responded to the muttering of rumors.
“Then please pluck out the other eye as well. “It is said that the old man still cannot come to his senses and is grinding his teeth against the yin-yang twin monsters.”
Yu Seol remained silent for a moment, looking at the slip on the wall.
Only after a while did he quietly say something meaningful.
“I guess I should get a beating.”
Munjong tilted his head, feeling some unexplainable tension.
This is because I was confused about who the person Eumgoi was talking about was.
“…yes?”
“It’s the anniversary of the oath. “You should get a beating from me.”
“iced coffee. Of course it should be. It will definitely happen that way. Now, shall we show you other places as well?”
Jinsan Yu, who was looking around, answered him on behalf of his granddaughter.
“I wish I could have checked this much. “We have to go get ready soon, so I’ll just go.”
King Munjong looked at Yujinsan and Yuseol alternately and clasped both hands together.
“Then I will see you both in Muyang County.”
* * *
The location of the duel was Muyang County, south of Hanam.
Joson sat down in a guesthouse not far from there.
I planned to rest here enough and then move on at the right time.
And as time passed, that point came one day closer.
‘You’ve already come this far.’
Jinsan Yu was sitting on a chair in the guest room, staring endlessly out the window.
It was a long and difficult journey.
All the processes I had gone through so far passed by like a flash of light.
The memories of traveling across Gangho with my granddaughter and overcoming countless hardships and incidents seemed like it was just yesterday.
And now it was time to put an end to that eventful journey.
bang-! Kwakwang-!!
There were swearing and fighting sounds outside the room.
Jinsan Yu sighed and shook his head.
‘Here we go again.’
Not only this place, but all the guesthouses in Hanam were crowded recently.
Crowds of people came from all over to see the duel between Eum-gae and the Murim Lord.
As expected, the mass migration of the Murim people began.
With so many different types of martial arts people gathered together, there was bound to be endless noise.
“baby. “Didn’t Haebi ask you to go to a quiet mountain?”
Right now, Yoo Seol was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the back with his eyes closed.
For a master who has reached the level of a superhuman, mental training through meditation is most important.
But what kind of meditation is this in such a noisy place?
Nevertheless, Yu Seol insisted on staying at a guesthouse.
“There’s nothing to eat in the mountains. “I fight well when I eat a lot of delicious food.”
I couldn’t refute my granddaughter’s words.
What can you do if you say you are like that?
“Anyway, you have to keep your mind and body in top condition. “If you need anything, just tell me.”
“yea, I got it.”
Eugenesan had nothing to do other than wait.
Aside from the occasional snack or snack for my granddaughter, all I did was sit by the window in my guest room and get some fresh air all day.
On this day, I was just looking outside in silence.
“Baby, what’s wrong?”
Jinsan Yu was confused.
Before I knew it, my granddaughter came behind me and started massaging my shoulders.
“Just stay still.”
The granddaughter’s massage technique was so effective that it was comparable to an elixir.
All the stagnant blood in my body was pierced, and even my mental fatigue was completely washed away.
But for now, we need to save even the smallest amount of strength.
“It’s okay, so don’t waste your energy on unnecessary things.”
“no. “Grandpa, you can’t sleep these days.”
It was true. Lately, I haven’t been able to sleep properly at all.
Was it because he was facing a fight with his enemy? Whenever I closed my eyes, the faces of those who died first came to mind and I couldn’t fall asleep deeply.
“how did you know?”
“Why don’t I know~ I groan whenever I close my eyes. “My grandpa, you’ve worked so hard all this time.”
“…Are you having a hard time?”
Yoo Seol, who was massaging his shoulders, whispered softly into the grandfather’s ear.
“Thank you for raising me all these years. “Have you had a hard time alone?”
When did my only granddaughter grow up so much?
I never thought the day would come when I would hear these words.
Yu Jin-san’s heart was moved by an unknown emotion.
“What are you talking about. “It wasn’t hard at all, baby…”
“I’ll let you sleep well now. “We will defeat the Murim lord and relieve our grandfather of his resentment.”
“….”
Yu Jin-san couldn’t say anything more.
If I did that, I felt like my granddaughter would catch me crying behind my back.
Then how much more will you make fun of yourself?
But it was not a rumor that could not be noticed.
“Grandpa, are you crying?”
Instead of answering, Yu Jin-san stood up quietly.
Then he muttered as he trudged towards the door of the guest room.
“…These guys are fighting loudly and making a fuss when my granddaughter should be meditating. “I’ll come back after the expenses are resolved, so just wait a little bit.”
Suddenly-!
This was a two-story guesthouse with the upper floor serving as a guest room.
Eugene San opened the door to the guest room and first wiped away tears with his sleeve.
Then he stood on the railing and looked down.
Two groups of martial artists were continuing to argue, swearing at each other.
“Can everyone please lower their voices a little bit? “Screaming like that gets in the way of meditating.”
It was a voice mixed with profound inner power.
It was a quiet voice, but it silenced all the commotion in the room at once.
The martial arts people, who were so energetic as if they were about to draw their weapons, suddenly became quiet.
Naturally, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the railing on this floor, and Yu Jin-san, embarrassed, cleared his throat.
“Hmm! What are you looking at so intently? Then, everyone have a good time.”
It was at that time when Jin-san Yu was about to turn his back.
The martial people who recognized his face began to whisper.
“Isn’t this the Yang Kai Daehyeop!?”
“I guess that’s right?”
“Then you can’t say that the Great Necromancer is in that room?”
That was the beginning.
The commotion began to get louder, as if the guesthouse was about to collapse.
“Wow!!”
“Baek Gwang-ho from Sichuan meets the yin-yang twin monsters!”
“Please give Anhui Province the honor of offering a drink to Chu Yun!”
“I came from Guangdong Province for ten days and nights to see Yin Kai.”
I had a terrible headache.
How can I shut them all up?
But that doesn’t mean he can’t hit his granddaughter’s supporters.
After hesitating for a moment, the door to the room behind me opened.
And Yoo Seol peeked out his face through the crack in the door and smiled.
“Hehe~ It’s the last day, let’s play together.”
