Chapter 419
Episode 419: The Return of the Demon (2)
Yujinsan headed to Socheonseong after a month.
His heart felt very light because he had achieved his desired goal.
‘Has our Seol been feeling this way for a long time?’
The sound of a bird chirping fifty miles away. And even the movement of insects crawling on the floor.
His sensitive senses have developed to the point where he can feel everything in the world.
This was possible because he had mastered the magic arts created by Cheonma, a symbol of power, to the limit.
All Jinsan Yu wanted to do was to go quickly and show off to his granddaughter and friends.
However, it was not possible to head straight to Cheonyuhoe.
‘It’s been such a long time since I went back, but I can’t go empty-handed.’
Before he knew it, his steps were wandering around the market. It was to buy a gift for my granddaughter.
The scene of the market I visited after a long time was quite different from before.
Perhaps thanks to the increase in population, there was nothing missing on the streets.
The long rows of street stalls on the left and right seemed to be selling all kinds of food and goods.
After thinking about it carefully, Jinsan approached the jewelry store.
Then the young-looking owner started soliciting customers with hand gestures.
“Take a look! “Our store sells one-of-a-kind trinkets!”
Here in Socheonseong, no one treats others carelessly just because they look young. Because it was a place full of martial people that ordinary people could not understand.
“Please recommend something the kids will like. A girl about my age would wear it.”
The owner moved both hands quickly and held out a few rings and necklaces.
They were mainly colorful ones.
“How about something like this? “These are popular things among girls these days.”
Jinsan Yu looked at it for a while and thought about it.
Now that I think about it, I have no memory of giving jewelry as a gift to my granddaughter, just receiving it from her. So you have no choice but to know your tastes.
Most of the accessories Yuseol is wearing now are probably obtained as loot. All of them were old items that someone else had worn.
Realizing this, Yu Jin-san regretted the past, where he had only run forward until now.
‘I wonder how my beautiful granddaughter must have resented all the money she spent on not buying her a single gift…’
And yet, she hasn’t complained once.
Rather, that made Yu Jin-san’s heart even more heavy.
But it’s fastest when you think it’s too late.
Jinsan Yu turned on the light in his eyes and carefully examined all the accessories.
And among them, there was one thing that kept catching his eye.
“What about that red bracelet?”
The store owner looked troubled for a moment and then answered with both hands together.
“You really have great insight. “It is the most expensive piece of jewelry here…. It is a bracelet made of red-and-white brass imported from Goryeo.”
Whether it’s Jeokchildo-dong or Geumchildo-dong, what would be a waste if it’s for your one and only granddaughter?
The only question was whether he had that much money.
“How much does it cost?”
“Actually, I haven’t decided yet. “It was just put out for display.”
Jinsan Yu put his hand in his arms and started rummaging around.
What I can get my hands on is two silver coins.
Before leaving Socheonseong, his granddaughter gave him pocket money and it was all Yujinsan’s current possessions.
Thinking that he had done well to save it and not spend it, he handed out two silver coins to the stall owner.
“Can you live with this?”
The store owner’s eyes widened.
This is because two silver coins were a large amount of money, equivalent to three months of sales at a street stall.
“Oh my, sir. This is too much of a deb show. “How much should I give you for this?”
“It’s the first piece of jewelry I gave as a gift to my only precious family member, so it’s worth more than that to me.”
Eugene San placed two silver coins on the stand.
Then he picked up the bracelet and turned his back without hesitation.
Then the owner, whose mouth was on his ear, put his hands together and shouted behind his back.
“thank you so much! I’m sure something good will happen today! “I will pray to Buddha with all my heart!”
A faint smile appeared on Eugene San’s face.
This is because I could feel the sincerity in the owner’s warm shout.
Anyway, now that I had bought a gift for my granddaughter, it was time to return to Cheonyuhoe.
He turned his back and continued walking toward the depths of the castle.
After passing the market and crossing the central street, we finally came to the area of the martial arts people. From this point on, only those related to Cheonyuhoe could enter.
He was one of the three elders of Cheonyuhoe and was a famous person here.
So, I was entering naturally, but the reaction was somehow different from usual.
“…hmm?”
This is because the guards guarding the street did not even look at me, let alone say hello.
If he saw you opening the way, he would definitely recognize you. It was something I could never understand.
‘Look at these guys?’
You don’t even pretend to know an adult. Their reaction was a bit off-putting, but there was no need to blush at all of this.
Yu Jin-san lost his nerve and continued moving forward.
As I was walking deep into the grounds of Cheonyuhoe, I noticed something strange.
Didn’t everyone I saw in passing have the same outfit?
They all looked like they were wearing dark red sutras with bamboo ribs pressed down on them.
Then, I found someone who looked familiar.
‘That guy is a member of the Namgung family who followed our Seol around? ‘You got demoted?’
No matter how much I thought about it, it couldn’t be possible.
Namgung Cheolhu was the third prince of the Namgung family and an absolute master of the Hwagyeong level, the most skilled in martial arts in the family.
A person like that is wearing the same clothes as regular soldiers? According to common sense, this could not have happened.
What on earth happened here while I was away?
The only person in Cheonyuhoe who wore a different outfit was Yujinsan.
Therefore, even though he was the most noticeable, no one pretended to know him.
I had to go to him quickly and find out.
“Hey, head of the Namgung family!”
At Yu Jin-san’s shout, Namgung Cheol-hu’s eyes turned to him for a moment.
“…?”
However, it was only for a moment that the two made eye contact.
He turned his head again and continued in the same direction as if he hadn’t seen anyone. And at a very fast pace.
To be so completely ignored? Eugene San slowly began to feel uncomfortable.
“No, these are real.”
I wanted to grab him and ask him why, but today was a special day, so I decided to hold off.
After a while, I silently headed to the office where my granddaughter would be.
A whistle suddenly began to sound from afar.
Beep-!!
About 200 pieces had fallen from here.
Could it be that something happened at Cheonyuhoe?
Even though it was a very far away place, I could clearly feel the presence of warriors rushing there. This was possible because the body’s sensing ability had reached the level of a half-body.
Jin-san Yu, who was contemplating whether to go there, soon shook his head.
‘What kind of accident can an accident occur in this place where martial arts masters are gathered?’
You can’t pay attention to everything that happens in the world.
The road he was walking on was quiet because all the nearby crew members were rushing there.
Now, if you pass through the corner of the pavilion in front of you and go a little further, you will arrive at your destination.
I could have flown in a month, but there was no need to rush.
It was when I continued to walk through the alley where no one was around.
Suddenly his head tilted.
‘What is this again?’
A little while ago, an unknown unpleasant energy was trying to infiltrate his body.
It was an alien cold that I had never felt before.
However, such strange energy was blocked by the self-defense power and was automatically extinguished.
If that energy had not been blocked, the body would have become stiff and movement would have been restricted.
That would mean that someone unfriendly is intentionally doing this mean thing.
‘Some kind of unpleasant guy…’
I looked around secretly, but I couldn’t find anyone around.
Eugene San continued walking along his path with a calm expression, pretending not to know anything.
It was when I was passing by the small empty pavilions.
Suddenly, the alien cold that was shooting at me suddenly became stronger.
Shoot!
A chill swirled around me as if it were constricting my entire body.
Eugene San was not affected at all, but he stopped walking and pretended to stumble.
And that moment.
His eyes widened momentarily.
This is because his own shadow, reflected on the wall of the palace, suddenly became longer and longer.
“…?”
Yu Jin-san, who was confused, checked the river that was glowing red in the shadows.
It was a brutal and quick sneak attack that would have caused great panic in the past.
But it was different now. It felt slow enough to be able to avoid it with ease.
Wow!
In the blink of an eye, Jinsan Yu’s hand was gripping someone’s wrist.
In that hand, a sword with a short blade was visible. Ridiculously, he attempted to assassinate himself.
Yu Jin-san, who was already in a bad mood, tightened his grip with an expression that said he was in a good mood.
“If you see an adult, you should say hello. Are you trying to stab me?”
After finishing speaking, he yanked his left hand, and an unidentified monster emerged from the shadows.
“Ugh!”
The man who was caught by the wrist was wearing the same clothes as the other members of the Cheonyuhoe.
He struggled to shake off his wrist, but couldn’t budge. This is because the difference in strength between them was so overwhelming.
Yu Jin-san pulled his arm even further and slapped him.
slam-!
The skin on his face, revealed by the flying bamboo shoots, was half peeled off. He must have been disguising his face using some sort of magic trick.
Upon closer inspection, the newly revealed skin was dark and had an exotic shape.
Yu Jin-san immediately realized where he was coming from.
“The Cheonchuk guy is running wild all the way here. “It’s so fucked up.”
Yu Jin-san could not have imagined that the assassin in front of him was Nadani, the best assassin in heaven.
He was so surprised that he was caught by the wrist, rolling his eyes here and there and trying to figure out how to run away.
There was no reason to drag it out for a long time.
For more detailed information, you can drag him over and interrogate him.
“If you don’t want to die instantly, hold your stomach tight.”
Jinsan Yu tilted his center of gravity to the right and clenched his fists.
Then, a light bluer than a jewel enveloped the fist and a haze rose.
Wooooow-!
It was a phenomenon that occurred only when at least one or more internal energies were concentrated. Representative examples include Amipa’s Bulgwangilseonji and Pungsimgwon completed by his granddaughter.
Meanwhile, Nadani struggled to escape from Eugene San, but it was already too late.
The first herbivorous annihilating heavenly power fist (滅天强拳).
In the blink of an eye, Yu Jin-san’s fist was plunged into his abdomen with a loud noise.
Wow-!!
Blood poured out of Nadani’s mouth.
The creature stumbled as if his legs were giving out and he was about to collapse, and the whites of his eyes were half exposed.
The trouble that had been bothering everyone so much was neutralized in just one move.
“…ugh.”
Yu Jin-san, who was looking at him as he stumbled as if he might fall, momentarily turned his head to the left.
Because something was flying there at incredible speed.
“Grandpa!!”
It was clearly the granddaughter I had missed so much.
But for some reason, my eyebrows were furrowed. What on earth had happened all this time?
“Baby…”
Yuseol quickly approached and grabbed the assassin by the head.
“You come here.”
