Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 46
Episode 46
A man covered his nose as he passed through a dark place. It was because the thick, foul smell of medicine stung my nose.
When I arrived at the possible cause, I carefully opened the door and looked inside.
Inside is an old man.
The old man looked somewhat haggard, as if he had not been eating properly, his entire body was as thin as an ear in his throat, and his wide-open eyes were staring at only one place, giving him a somewhat bizarre appearance.
“Is everything going well?” “I’m not asking if things are going well.”
“Hehehe, just wait a little longer
. “It’s soon.”
The old man smiled grimly and moved his hands quickly.
I put the medicinal ingredients in a small container filled with water, shook it to mix, and checked the contents.
“Hmph!”
The old man took a deep breath, smelled the scent, and grinned.
“This is it! “This is exactly what I wanted!”
“Haha, it really is a Chu old monster. “I think I understand why the Black City didn’t let you go.”
“Hehehe, that kind of thing is probably good. “Did you find the guy who brought down the Black Demon Association
?”
“No, not yet. At this level, there could be some news, but even if you disguise yourself with that guy’s face, it’s quiet. Maybe he was hiding deep inside, or maybe he was already dead…”
“That can’t be possible! “I can’t believe the guy who destroyed the Black Demon Association is dead!”
Chu Nogoe.
It was called by that name in the black society.
He was in charge of manufacturing elixirs and poisons, and was a person who enjoyed wealth and fame in his own way under the protection of the Black Island Society.
However, it was this man who accepted Nogoe Chu, who had nowhere to go after the fall and division of the Black Demon Association.
With a smile on his face, the man began to comfort Old Man Chu, telling him not to worry.
“Don’t think about anything, just make some medicine for now. We will definitely find him and kill him. Wasn’t that a partnership for that?”
“yes! Is there any other reason why I cooperate with bastards like you? Quickly catch him and bring him to me!” The man frowned.
He had already been publicly declared by the Murim Alliance, and it was he who accepted the old ghost who had no place to go, no home, and no property since the Black Order had collapsed.
But you’re throwing it away?
I felt like tearing the monster’s limbs to pieces right away, but I suppressed it. Because there are still many things that person can gain by being here.
I smiled awkwardly and nodded.
“Did you hear more than that? “I guess the county spirit found opium while suppressing bandits this time.”
“You subdued the bandits? “That damned wise man?”
“Of course, it’s not for sure, and it seems like they’re secretly trying to take it to the king…”
“It must be taken away! Even if it’s a failure, you might get caught in the tail!”
“Do you mean that much?”
“Just as your swordsmanship contains your enlightenment, any medicine or poison contains the essence of the person who created it. “If someone who knows even a little bit about medicine starts investigating, it will only be a matter of time before my existence is discovered.”
The man stroked his chin with a serious expression.
After listening to that old monster, I felt like I shouldn’t just ignore it. Old Man Chu was someone who should never be revealed to the world.
Not only in the Murim League, but also in other places, there were many people chasing him, so if a situation occurred where he was taken away by others or lost his life, there was nothing more the man could gain.
He nodded.
“I understand. “Then let’s solve the following.”
“Everyone who knows about the existence of the drug must be killed. “It must be so certain that there is no one alive in the prefectural office, including the prefectural governor.”
“Don’t worry, Old Man Chu.”
The man grinned and turned his back.
I could do that much
.

“We will go all the way to the royal palace like this! Do you understand?”
“ancient!”
Hearing the loud ringing sound, Hong Won-chang nodded with a satisfied expression.
After the downfall of the Heukdohoe, the way the police officers looked at Hong Won-chang changed.
He was looking at me with eyes full of complete trust and awe.
Hong Won-chang nodded with satisfaction and looked elsewhere.
There were four people wearing police uniforms.
One was a woman, and although she disguised herself as a man to avoid detection, the police officers standing around were glancing at her, as if they could not hide her natural beauty.
Dan Woo-hyeon was standing next to him, along with Kwon Moo-jin and Jang Sam-tae.
Since they were all wearing police uniforms, I felt like I was higher than them.
“Ahem! “You must never leave my side.” Dan Woo-hyeon, who was pointed out, slightly raised his head and looked at Hong Won-chang, who was riding a horse.
‘You guy?’
Hong Won-chang was at a loss for words for a moment and gave me a dumbfounded look, and Hong Won-chang cleared his throat and whispered.
“Dae… Daehyeop, my job is high here. “You have to answer.”
“…I get it.”
“You have to be respectful. “I am a county governor and Daehyeop is just a police officer.” Dan Woohyun thought quietly.
I wonder if this kid is enjoying this situation. Of course, they were the ones who decided to wear police uniforms, but that did not mean they became Hong Won-chang’s subordinates.
“Try it, Daehyeop. ‘yes. The answer is, ‘I understand.’”
Hong Won-chang, who caught Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes, was smiling like a child playing a mischievous prank.
Just as I was about to open my mouth with a helpless smile on my face, Jang Sam-tae came to my side.
“Damn it, it’s oily resin. “Go and act as king somewhere else.”
“What… what?!”
“what? Did I say something wrong? “How can you be respectful when you can’t even say something like that on a regular basis?”
Hong Won-chang suddenly opened his eyes and glared at Jang Sam-tae. However, Jang Sam-tae, who had already been accused of being the culprit by Hong Won-chang, did not lose and had a snowball fight.
Clap clap!
Then I heard someone clapping.
As I slowly turned my head, I saw Dan Woo-hyeon clapping.
“You are still useful.”
“yes?”
“no. “I feel like something has become refreshing thanks to you, so don’t worry about it.”
Jang Sam-tae, who couldn’t understand why, couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Hong Won-chang did the same, but in the end he had no choice but to turn his head.
Because many police officers were keeping an eye on Hong Won-chang.
“depart!”
Nam Gung So-hye was lost in thought as she looked at the police officers ahead of her. A rumor was spread that the opium obtained by capturing bandits was being transported to the royal palace.
And only a very small number of people, a total of ten people, moved.
The number of real police officers leaving together did not exceed five at most, and excluding Hong Won-chang, the remaining ones were Dan Woo-hyeon, Jang Sam-tae, Kwon Moo-jin, and Namgung So-hye.
Since they were tightly disguised, there was enough room for an attack.
‘Are they really going to come with something like this?’
At best it was opium.
From the point of view of making it, it would have been unpleasant for evidence to go to the imperial family, but I was worried whether it was an item worth recovering enough to take the risk of attacking the prefecture.
Of course, I thought Dan Woo-hyeon would definitely come.
-When something is made, the characteristics of the person who created it are revealed. If we take this to the King’s Office for investigation, the identity of who it is will be revealed right away, right?
‘That’s why Zhuge Liang tried to find opium like that.’
Namgung So-hye nodded in agreement with Dan Woo-hyeon’s message. Because Zhuge Liang was also intent on finding opium from the beginning.
In the end, nothing was saved.
Namgung So-hye glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon.
‘What on earth does this person do?’ They are very good at looking ahead and moving.
Should I say that my brain is extraordinary? However, it wasn’t that his martial arts skills were weak.
The last time I saw him, his ability was so high that Namgung Sohye could not even imagine.
Just look at how he treated Madokjin like a child.
‘But my personality is a bit…’
A somewhat cold and sharp attitude.
Even his manner of speaking reached the height of arrogance, and he acted as if he had nothing above him.
At the same time, I took great care of one member of my family.
Although he acted nonchalantly, he was unknowingly taking care of Jang Sam-tae and Kwon Moo-jin, and it is no exaggeration to say that he was very indifferent to Dan So-mi.
If you look at it that way, I don’t think it’s very arrogant.
‘I really don’t know what’s going on.’
Namgung Sohye shook her head.
No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know what that person was thinking.
She let out a short sigh and shifted her gaze elsewhere.
Rustling-!
Then I heard a strange sound.
Dan Woo-hyeon, who was going ahead, smiled leisurely and Kwon Moo-jin stopped talking.
at the same time.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk-!
Arrows flew across the sky.
“It’s the enemy!”
One of the police officers shouted loudly.
Hwii ing!
Puk puk puk puk!
Everyone had grim expressions on their faces as they wondered how many people would die due to the terrible sound of arrows being struck.
However, no one died and everyone was standing there unharmed.
The arrows turned the surrounding area into a wasteland, but due to the sudden wind, they were unable to hit anyone.
However, everyone was relieved and no one seemed to think anything was strange.
It was such a natural wind.
Sasasak-!
At the same time, masked people appeared one by one.
There seemed to be more than thirty people in number, and they all seemed to have learned martial arts.
“You guys! “Do you know who I am and dare to do such a shameless thing!”
“Question-and-answer dance (question-and-answer dance).”
Hong Won-chang glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon.
Just as Dan Woo-hyeon had expected, they showed up. And they immediately drew their swords.
“Murder!”
Sasasak-!
As soon as the order was given, the enemies moved and charged without hesitation. The life flowing from their bodies was unusual, as if they had no intention of leaving even a single person alive.
“Then try capturing him alive.”
Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes turned to Kwon Moo-jin and Jang Sam-tae.
Since the two people knew very well what that meant, they roughly jumped out of their seats and rushed towards the masked men.
A melee began.
