Warrior Grandpa and Supreme Granddaughter

Episode 41: Will I perform the ritual or will I die? (1)

Yujinsan’s steps on the way back were heavy.

After summarizing the granddaughter’s babbling, it was not a power that could be taken lightly. It seemed like a trap had been dug and well prepared.

‘If I had attacked blindly, I would have been in trouble.’

If there was an overwhelming difference in the number of experts as well as the number of heads, there was no need to calculate the result. As expected, it was not an easy situation.

Yu Jin-san, who put his granddaughter to sleep first, quietly came out of the residence.

There is a small pond behind Paedomun’s manor.

On top of the small pavilion built there. A middle-aged man dressed in formal attire was sitting alone and drinking.

His hair sparkled in the moonlight, creating quite a charm.

“Brother, are you here?”

“I didn’t know you would come first. “Have you waited long?”

Baek-gyu grabbed the liquor jar and grinned.

“When you have a drink with the moon reflecting on the pond as your friend, you don’t even notice the passage of time. But now that a more welcome friend has arrived, won’t the fun begin now?”

Yu Jin-san smiled quietly and climbed onto the pavilion.

“I see you’re very drunk when I see you engaging in romantic activities. Didn’t things go well?”

Baekgyu sighed and shook his head.

“As expected, my brother has a wicked sense of humor. “I went alone and ended up in disgrace.”

“Hurry up and tell me what happened.”

“I met the head of Macheonhoe in person. Originally, we didn’t have a very good relationship with each other, but I didn’t know that the damn guy wouldn’t listen to the rest of his words and just shut the door down. “At heart, it’s just…”

The blood bled on his forehead as if his anger didn’t go away.

“Looking at the circumstances, it looks like they were planning to stick to the bloodletting gate.”

“I’m sure it is, considering his cowardly personality. “I guess we’ll have to compete on our own.”

Jinsan Yu crossed his arms and thought for a moment.

There was absolutely no way to reverse the power gap with the current Paedomun alone.

“When I went to the bloodletting gate, I saw that they were fully prepared. “As things stand now, we have no chance of winning, so we must convince the Macheonhoe to fight together.”

“Aren’t you overestimating bloodletting? “There are only so many people, so except for Munju, there won’t be much to see.”

Jinsan Yu sighed as if he was frustrated.

“How can people only think of everything positively? “There was a transcendent expert like you there too.”

With an expressionless face, Baekgyu poured a bowl full of alcohol and handed it to him.

“It must be Munju Cheonsu. “If I fight that bastard one on one, I can win.”

“It looks like we know each other well. Of course, if he accepts the duel, there is no need to worry. “In addition to him, there were three other masters waiting there.”

Baekgyu tilted his head with a puzzled expression.

“Is that really true?”

“My granddaughter sensed it and told me, but I didn’t see it myself.”

Although he was a child the size of an acorn, he had reached the heights of perfection, which are classified as superhumans.

If Hwa-gyeong’s senses sensed it, it would be certain.

Baek-gyu clenched his chin and fell into serious trouble. It was completely unexpected that bloodletting would grow to this extent.

“Hmm…”

“You don’t have enough power to handle it on your own. What’s more, isn’t your wife lying in a hospital bed?”

His wife, Maeng Ryeon-hwa, was Paedomun’s second-in-command.

Even she was incapable of fighting, so no matter how much she flew or crawled on her own, she couldn’t do anything.

“Then what should I do? “If there is a good way, please give me some advice.”

“If we don’t move, the Four Blood Gates will come to catch you first. “The only way is to convince the Macheonhoe before then and fight together with them.”

“How do you persuade people who won’t even talk to you?”

Eugene San picked up the bowl and took a sip of alcohol. Then I stared at the moonlight and drew a picture in my head.

“As you said, if Hoeju is a quick-calculating person, he will try to join the stronger side. “As long as you show that the Paedo Gate is stronger than the Sahyeol Gate, it will be easy for you to get over it.”

“But don’t we have an advantage over bloodletting? “The overall scale is the same, as is the number of experts.”

“There is one way.”

Jinsan Yu explained his plan to everyone.

Baekgyu’s expression changed moment by moment as he listened to his words.

After a while, after hearing the whole explanation, he asked with a puzzled expression.

“Are you saying we should go to Macheonhoe and commit fraud?”

“Is Paedo-moon in a position to go to extremes right now? And since when did Safaans start being so honest?”

“I never had the right to choose a faction from the beginning. “It’s something I inherited from my father.”

“You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. But there is no other way.”

After hesitating for a moment, Baekgyu picked up a bowl full of alcohol and started gulping it down.

After emptying every drop, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and shouted.

“Wow, that’s good! “I will put everything aside and trust only Jinsan.”

“Good idea. Time is not on our side, so this is probably not the time to relax. “Let’s leave as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.”

* * *

The next morning.

Eugene San carried his granddaughter and headed to Macheonhoe with Baek Gyu.

The place we arrived at after walking through the eclipse was Hohyeon’s southern manor.

“Is this really going to work? “He’s such a clever guy that he won’t be fooled easily.”

“I feel relieved to hear what you say.”

“What kind of riddle answer is that?”

“Sometimes, the deeper a person is, the more likely he or she is to fall for tricks.”

“Heh heh. “Wow.”

“Anyway, keep that in mind. To win Macheonhoe’s heart, you must not kill anyone. “Use martial arts just enough to discourage them.”

“I’m keeping this in mind, so don’t worry.”

They talked a lot and soon arrived at their destination.

Baek-gyu took a deep breath and looked at the child on Jin-san Yu’s back.

“I only trust you, Seol. “If everything goes well, he’ll buy you lots of snacks.”

Yoo Seol burst out laughing at the meaningful remark. Then he stretched out his hand towards Baekgyu’s head.

Normally he would have avoided the child’s touch, but for some reason he didn’t even move.

“Hi~”

“I’m letting you touch me specially just this time.”

A fern-like hand is stroking Munju’s head. If his subordinates had seen it, they would have fainted.

After a while, Baek-gyu, who had mentally prepared himself, walked toward the main gate of Macheonhoe.

As a famous person in Hohyeon, his face was well known.

Of the two warriors guarding the entrance, the one on the left asked with a puzzled expression.

“What is the Lord of the Paedo Gate doing here?”

Standing tall in the middle of the warriors, he spoke clearly and without blinking.

“I came to take over the Macheon Association.”

The guard samurai craned their necks and asked reflexively, as if in bewilderment.

“yes…?”

I can’t believe we can take over this place with just two people. They looked as if they were hallucinating.

However, Baekgyu’s expression was too serious to be passed off as a joke.

A fleeting moment. His hands were spread wide to the left and right, like a hawk spreading its wings.

A powerful flow of energy. And the warriors were startled by the whirlwind that wrapped around both hands.

I desperately wanted to avoid it, but Baekgyu’s strike came out like lightning and was too fast.

In the blink of an eye, his palm was hitting the warrior’s front chest.

Kuk-kung-!

“Tsk!”

“Wow!”

The warriors who were attacked by surprise were thrown backwards with both feet rising from the ground.

It was at the same time that their backs hit the front door.

Quang-!!

The main gate of Macheonhoe burst open with a loud noise. And there was an uproar inside at the sight of the security guards awkwardly placed in the front yard.

The panicked warriors were crowding around, clutching their weapons, and the sound of whistles continued everywhere.

Eugene San and Baek Gyu calmly walked inside.

“What on earth is this?”

One of the Macheonhoe elders who arrived first shouted with a bewildered expression.

About thirty warriors had already gathered around him, and the number was still increasing.

“From now on, our Paedomun will take over this place. Those who surrender will not be harmed.”

Yeo-il, an elder of Macheonhoe. He tilted his head and whispered a few words to the warriors around him.

Eventually, a few people looked over the fence and came back to whisper.

“No one, Elder. “It looks like the two of you really came.”

Yeo-il laughed as if he was dumbfounded and glared at Baek-gyu.

“Master Baekmun. Why do you come to someone else’s manor this morning and do such crazy things? “Did our Macheonhoe seem so easy-going because they treated us with honor as Munju?”

Although Macheonhoe could not be Paedomun’s opponent, that was only considering its overall strength.

Paedomun, which is kept in check by Sahyeolmun, would not be able to use its power without permission. Therefore, there was nothing to be afraid of from Macheonhoe’s perspective.

Although he was the head of Paedomun, who knew this well, his incomprehensible behavior continued.

“I came here because it was easy. So I won’t say it twice.”

At that moment, Yeo-il sensed something strange.

Even though Baekgyu’s martial arts skills are advanced, there are limits to what he can do alone.

Yet his attitude is so confident. Moreover, the two swords hanging on his waist had not been pulled out.

How dare you take it easy while being provocative like this? It was a very unnatural situation.

“Let’s see if there’s something you believe in. But whatever it is, be prepared to pay the price for provoking us.”

As Yeo-il gave a glance, the warriors surrounded Baek-gyu and Yu-jin-san and blocked their escape route.

Yet they did not blink an eye.

It was then. Isn’t Baek-gyu suddenly bowing his head to the unidentified old man next to him?

“These are my father-in-law.”

It was an old man wearing a bamboo hat that I hadn’t even paid attention to until now.

Although it had no presence, it didn’t look threatening at all since it was carrying a child on its back.

But from now on, things have changed.

Who is Baek Gyu? The owner of Paedomun is a difficult opponent.

‘…Father-in-law?’

It was about this time that Yeo-il’s eyes were filled with questions.

The child on his back seemed to be whispering something into the old man’s ear.

At that moment, the old man’s index finger pointed to a hall somewhere on the left.

“The guy hiding there and watching! “Can’t you come out right away?”

The warriors of Macheonhoe, including Yeo-il, were shocked at the same time. This is because he accurately identified the location of Hoeju.

For those who have reached their peak, it is difficult to sense their presence because their energy is stored inside. Nevertheless, finding his location meant that he was an expert at a higher level than that.

Suddenly-!

Someone wearing a red robe was walking out with a nervous expression.

He seemed to be exploring Mount Yujin with a face full of tension.

Yeo-il urgently sent a message to him.

– This is not an average bet. Do you know someone?

– How would they know it was me? It’s astounding that Baek-gyu has been hiding such a craftsman until now.

– Looking at his age, he seems to be an expert who was active in the previous era. It doesn’t feel good, so don’t be hasty and give it a try.

After thinking for a moment, the head of Macheonhoe sent an order to someone by telegram.

The warrior who received the signal began to rush towards the old man with his bare hands.

Taaa-!

Unusual body movements. At first glance, he was a master with first-class skills.

Finally, his hand was about to snatch the old man’s collar.

For a split second, the eyes of everyone watching were wide open as if they were torn apart. This is because his new form suddenly rose into the air.

“Ugh!”

The sight of someone floating in the air and unable to control their body as if they had been snatched by an invisible ghost was very strange.

“What is that?”

“A fierce attack?

“I can’t believe it…”

Everyone fell into confusion at what they were seeing for the first time.

But the surprise didn’t end there.

One of the old man’s hands reached out towards him. At that moment, his intestines caught fire as if he had been waiting for it.

The child on his back was stretching out his cute hand, but no one was paying attention.

At that time, the head of Macheonhoe, who was watching the scene with a mesmerized face, muttered as if possessed by something.

“The evolution of samadhi….”

The evolution of samadhi (三昧眞fire). It is a method of creating flames using energy. Although this in itself does not have much power, it is meaningful in that it is a technique that can only be used when one’s inner strength reaches the level of success.

The Macheonhoe warrior was frightened as he was hanging in the air and his clothes were on fire.

“Please save me.”

At that time, Jin-san Yu stretched out his hand and ripped off his burning intestines.

Buaaaagh-!

Fortunately, he overcame the crisis without any serious injuries, but his clothes were torn to shreds like a beggar.

But what is the importance of shame in this situation? Having barely survived, he ran away in his underwear.

“This is the only time I will take care of the situation. “If you want to test Nobu again, come prepared to burn your soul.”

Nearly a hundred warriors gathered around, but no one spoke.

In deep silence, Yeo-il sent a message to Hoe-ju.

– It is clear that he is an absolute master who has achieved great success. Even if everyone in the bloodletting department rushes in, they won’t be able to defeat that old man, so I don’t think it would be a wise choice to stick with him.

Even without the elder’s advice, he had already completed the calculation.

Zhang Liang, the owner of Macheonhoe, took a deep breath and spoke softly.

“I speak in the name of Lord Jang Liang. From now on, our Macheonhoe will officially support Paedomun. “The enemies of Paedomun are no different from the enemies of our Macheonhoe.”

It was a clear declaration of surrender.

Baekgyu’s expression instantly brightened at his words.

“Good idea. I’ve always wanted to be like brothers with my younger brother Zhang Liang. Now let’s forget everything about the past and live well from now on.”

After speaking, he tried to approach Zhang Liang, but Yu Jin-san raised his left hand and blocked him.

“That’s not enough.”

Huaiju Zhang Liang asked him with a puzzled expression.

“You don’t trust us. “Do you want me to make you a token?”

Jinsan Yu shook his head horizontally. This is because even a token was not enough.

The power he showed here was a deception by sending a telegram to his granddaughter.

Therefore, if the fraud is revealed, Macheonhoe will undoubtedly reverse its course. It was necessary to put in place safety measures to make such an attempt impossible.

“If you really have the will to join us, you should show it with your actions.”

“What action are you talking about…?”

Instead of answering, Jinsan Yu stared at Baekgyu’s shiny head.

Then Jangryang noticed something and opened his mouth as if it were absurd.

“…No way?”

His ominous premonition was not wrong.

Jinsan Yu nodded and confirmed it once again.

“No one is exempt. Choose whether you will all be killed by Nobu or go through the ceremony and become brothers with us.”
