Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 545

< Return to War, Episode 45 >

Countless people were being escorted by ropes. The number seemed to be a hundred at best, and in addition, the cart covered with cloth was full of what appeared to be corpses.

“What is all that?”

“Didn’t you hear? “Daein Hong said he caught that evil spirit.”

“Ah… a demon? “You mean those guys who were on a rampage?”

“That’s right. But the funny thing is… they were Cheonji-gyo bastards.”

“Cheonjigyo!”

People gasped at the words they heard.

I was surprised to learn that it was humans, not demons, who had committed numerous crimes, including numerous murders and disappearances that had occurred near Uichang, and I could not help but be shocked once again that Cheonjigyo was at the center of it all.

“Hey! Things like dogs! “I thought it was them doing it a long time ago.”

“How on earth can the people of the Cheonjigyo religion commit such a thing while wearing human masks?…” “

I heard that the priestess of the Cheonjiyoyo religion was chosen by heaven… Damn.”

He was spitting, frowning, and swearing here and there. The people living in Uichang had seen and experienced many things so far, so they could not help but tremble at their cruelty.

“Despite this, the number of believers is increasing… tsk tsk.”

A long time ago, when I first heard the name of Cheonjigyo, it was nothing more than a meaningless organization. However, as time passed, it gradually expanded its influence by accepting a large number of believers, and is now in a position comparable to that of the Demonic Cult.

The problem is that, unlike the Demonic Cult that appears on the outside, no one knows where the main church of Cheonjigyo is located.

“Anyway, Daein Hong really did a great job this time!”

“As expected, it’s the best hahaha!”

It was clear that the situation was bleak, but people gave a thumbs up as they looked at Hong Won-chang riding a horse. Now that he has accomplished something that no one has been able to solve for a long time, I wonder how much admiration and reverence he has for him.

Due to this incident, Hong Won-chang’s name value will rise even more.

* * *

“It’s noisy.”

Namgung So-hye smiled as she heard the voices of people outside. Since it is the happy voice of people who have concerns, the person who hears it is bound to feel good as well.

Although Dan Woo-hyeon and the two grandfathers did everything, Hong Won-chang did not do anything, but he managed to wipe out the Cheonji Church Uichang branch.

I felt refreshed inside.

“Why does that guy always get compliments without doing anything? “I feel bad.”

At such a sight, Sadohak clicked his tongue and frowned. As the saying goes, talent belongs to bears and people have money, they were the ones who clearly solved the problem, but people’s awe and interest are towards Hong Won-chang.

I didn’t like it at all.

“never mind. Hong Won-chang must have put in some effort too…”

“No, I’m worried, dude. And how much did you get paid?”

Sadohak glanced at Dan Woohyeon.

I was sitting at my desk counting the money, and the amount seemed excessive. There were tens of nyang worth of vouchers piled up, and there was not enough room for Geumja and Eunja, so they fell to the floor.

“It’s one hundred and fifty nyang. “I received a little more travel expenses.”

Even if it were 150 nyang, which was the amount originally promised, it was quite excessive considering that I received a little more for travel expenses.

There was a reason why Hong Won-chang was in tears as he left this place.

It seemed like more was torn than I thought.

“What are you planning to save up so much money for?”

Namgung-cheon asked, looking at Dan Woo-hyeon who was counting money. Even if you spend a lifetime playing around with the money you already have, it will be overflowing.

Even from the guest houses and the upper level, a huge amount of money comes in every month, so you will have enough money even if you don’t have to work so hard to earn money.

Therefore, I had no idea what Dan Woo-hyeon was thinking.

“Isn’t it better than nothing?”

“That’s right… That’s true, but…”

“It costs a lot of money to feed and raise them abundantly. “Are you sure you don’t know this even though you’ve raised children?”

“Ugh…”

Nam Gung-cheon swallowed a moan and closed his mouth.

Having raised not only his children but also his grandchildren, he knows well that it is better to have money than not to have it.

So I couldn’t think of anything to say to Dan Woo-hyeon.

At that time, the door opened wide and Jang Sam-tae, smiling brightly, entered. For some reason, he seemed to be in a good mood this morning and started packing up the three people’s belongings while humming.

“You look like you’re in a good mood?”

“Oh Lord Jang! Of course it feels good! “Isn’t this weather amazing!”

At Jang Sam-tae’s words, the three people glanced out the window.

Contrary to what he said, the weather was extremely gloomy. It didn’t seem strange if it rained at any time, and the wind was blowing so strongly that a thick layer of dust was blowing around.

No matter where I looked, it didn’t look like good weather.

“…Did yesterday’s matter go well?”

“What… did you go to?”

At that moment, Jang Sam-tae tilted his head as if nothing came to mind. What happened? As he was making that expression, Sadohak clenched his eyebrows.

“You idiot! “They said they were going to catch a demon saint or something!”

“…Ah-ah! “I forgot!”

Jang Sam-tae screamed and jumped up as if he had finally remembered something.

Because I met some unlucky guys last night, I completely forgot about everything else. This is not the way to beat those guys.

“Ah, damn it! damn! “What on earth did you do?”

“Hehe, so what on earth have you been doing?”

“No, what… I went out and some strange guys attacked me…”

“Strange guys?”

Jang Sam-tae nodded to Dan Woo-hyeon’s question.

I still don’t know their name or who they are. However, it was clear that I had been attacked, and thanks to this, I had an opportunity to release what had been building up inside me.

So he took out his anger on them.

It was also the reason why I felt good in the morning.

“Why is that there? “Last time, when I was the only one guarding the carriage, they attacked me…”

“Ah… I heard they chased after me?”

“Yes, that’s right. They swarmed in… and there was a very fierce fight. Hehehe.”

Jang Sam-tae recreated the situation at the time by moving around, swinging his fists and kicking. I deserved to be proud because I won against not just one or two, but twenty guys.

“They are truly pitiful people. No wonder I got beat up by you… Tsk tsk.”

“What did I do?!”

“I was wondering what it would be like to be beaten by a slave.”

“How does he know that I am a servant?”

Jang Sam-tae frowned.

I’m sick and tired of it.

Of course, I know that you don’t really think of him as a slave, but the nasty old man’s grumpy tone is bound to get on my nerves.

But soon he smiled again.

“By the way, I heard you caught the Cheonjigyo or something? So what happened? “Was he there?”

“That… guy?”

“Ah, the Demon Saint! Since I couldn’t catch it, didn’t the old man catch it?! “They said they wiped out the Church of Heaven and Earth!”

Hmm, Sadohak looked back at Namgungcheon.

However, Namgungcheon pretended not to notice and turned his head.

It is true that a branch of Cheonjiism was captured and slaughtered, but how can we know whether there is a demonic saint there? While thinking about that, I didn’t move.

“There was a guy like the leader… but I don’t know if he was a demon saint.”

“So you just passed it on without knowing who it was?”

“See this cheap guy? But does that mean we have to check it one by one?”

“Shouldn’t I be relieved of my injustice?”

“You said you could solve it yourself?”

Jang Sam-tae frowned at Sadohak’s words.

I tried to solve it myself.

But what can I do if I meet a strange guy and things go awry and I forget? Of course, even if I hadn’t met those guys, I didn’t think there was a chance that I would have found that demon saint.

To begin with, I only knew the nickname and didn’t even know the face.

It is not easy to catch.

“Oh shit! “Where on earth should I go and catch this bastard?”

“Hehe, wouldn’t it be not far away? “Don’t be too hasty.”

“No, another guy with a nickname has appeared, but how could he not even show his nose? Don’t you have any pride?”

Namgungcheon and Sadohak nodded.

Would you be quiet if someone were to sell your nickname? no. These are two people who are confident that they will chase after you and beat you up.

So this time, I agreed with Jang Sam-tae’s opinion.

This is because they also wanted to see the skills of the Four Emperors of Heaven and Earth.

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

“You are thinking useless thoughts. Just pack your bags. “The shaman is right around the corner.”

“It’s a useless idea… It’s because you don’t know how inconvenient this is.”

Jang Sam-tae sighed.

When I thought about wearing a hat and driving a carriage again, the road ahead was already daunting. It’s not comfortable at all and I desperately want to take it off, but I can’t because of people’s eyes.

Do you know how annoying it is?

This is all because of that demon saint.

I want to find out somehow and resolve the injustice.

“Then wouldn’t it be quicker to catch the two guys who were yelling at you as evil than that demon saint?”

“yes?”

“huh?”

“Ah…”

At that moment, the three people made blank expressions as if they had realized something, and then they turned to face each other. This situation seemed quite uncomfortable as he cleared his throat and turned his head as if something was awkward.

“Of course I knew. “Big!”

“Hehehe- Is this what you mean? “Is there anyone who doesn’t know that?”

Nam Gung-cheon of the Department of Apostolic Studies broke out in a cold sweat.

Except for Dan Woo-hyeon, they were the most senior and experienced, so they couldn’t say they couldn’t come up with something like that.

“I… I really didn’t know…”

Jang Sam-tae looked at the three people in turn with an expression of surprise. Dan Woo-hyun, who thought of something he had never thought of, and the two Yeong-taeng, who figured it out.

It looks amazing too.

“But… wouldn’t he have been crushed to death in that guest room?”

“Oh, if it’s him, he’s alive.”

At that time, the door squeaked open and Dan So-mi and Namgung So-hye came inside. Both of them were carrying luggage and it seemed like they had already prepared to leave.

However, for Jang Sam-tae, other things took priority over Botjim.

“You’re alive?!”

“Yes, I saw it once or twice. “Right now… I don’t know, but…”

Dansomi tried to avoid looking away and looked at the ground.

I think he’s probably alive… but I can’t guarantee if he’s okay.

Because the last time I saw him, he definitely didn’t look good.

“Look… did you see it? “That human?”

“Following you so persistently… what did he say? “He said he was being deceived by an evil enemy… He was the one who said he would save him.”

Dan So-mi spoke casually and smiled awkwardly. Thinking about that time gave me goosebumps, but since it was already in the past, I held it in and finally opened my mouth.

But for a moment, Dan Woo-hyeon’s expression twisted.

“I see… he’s alive.”

Dan Woo-hyeon muttered in a low voice, as if he didn’t like something, and everyone except Jang Sam-tae, who couldn’t hear it, broke into a cold sweat.
