Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 578

< The Return of the God of War Side Story Episode 78 >

“Wow… I managed to survive without dying.”

Geum Geum-ran, who came out of the guest room, let out a long sigh and slumped his shoulders. Having traveled from Sacheon to here for several months, I would have been greatly shaken mentally if I had not had even a short break like this.

Even though Jang Sam-tae had a tendency to rush, he was able to take a breather whenever he was resting, as he was definitely given a break.

“Do you know anything? I might be able to escape now…”

Jin Tae-gong glanced at Geum Geum-ran.

Jang Sam-tae is alone in the guesthouse and no one else is visible. There was a small hope that I might be able to escape now.

But Jin Geum-ran shook his head.

Running away?

Avoiding the eyes of the Demon Emperor and the Sword Emperor?

No matter how little he knew about martial arts, Geumran knew very well that it was impossible. Jin Tae-gong was probably thinking the same thing, but he seemed unable to give up his expectations.

But in the end, if they don’t send it, it means nothing.

And then Geum Geum-ran glared at Jin Tae-gong with a pointed expression.

“You…don’t all you need is Namgung Sohye?”

“ha ha ha! Of course, Sohye and Sojeo seem to see a fairy, but that doesn’t mean you can abandon her, right?”

Jin Tae-gong let out a short laugh.

However, if you think about his actions so far, you may wonder whether his words are true. Wasn’t Geum Geum-ran always in the background and only chasing after Namgung So-hye?

Perhaps because of Geum Geum-ran’s gaze, which was so cold that the north wind and cold snow blew, Jin Tae-gong could not bear to meet his gaze and awkwardly turned his head.

Seeing that, Geum Geum-ran let out a small sigh.

“By the way, it’s strange that there is no movement in the school.”

“I see… I’m sure they are trying to find the priestess.”

Ban Geum-ran is a being in an absolute position to divide the Church of Heaven and Earth. Although the cult leader’s power is bigger and stronger, the difference is not so great that she can be ignored.

Such a priestess went missing after being attacked by a Tang family, but strangely, no movement was seen at all. Would you say it was quiet as if nothing had happened?

I didn’t understand the prohibited part.

“Maybe…”

“Do you have any guesses?”

“What if the party’s attack… was the work of the religious leader?”

“…?!”

Geum Geum-ran, who was thinking deeply, opened his eyes wide. Why didn’t I think of this until now? No matter how outstanding Sacheondangga is, it would be difficult to easily pinpoint the location of its branch.

This is because, due to the characteristics of the region called Sacheon, it was hidden more completely than in other places.

However, right after she entered there, the Tang family attacked as if they had been waiting for her, and what followed was a chase that was so persistent that it was so long that I was sick of it.

If the goal from the beginning was to be a priestess, it was an understandable situation.

“You… you damn bastard…!”

Geum Geum-ran gritted his teeth and thought of Yuk Cheol-wan’s face. I thought something like this would happen someday, so I tried to increase my power and fight against it.

But to stab a dagger so suddenly?

I knew he was an asshole from the beginning, but I never thought he would be this low.

“If… the priestess’s thoughts are correct… isn’t this a big deal!?”

“Is it a big deal? “It’s just a situation where we have to die.”

Jin Geum-ran smiled bitterly.

The cult leader is probably currently absorbing all of her forces. It is obvious that if it is revealed that he is alive in this situation, something unsmilable will happen.

There is also a possibility that the cult leader’s assassination team may be on the move.

So if you want to live, hide yourself as much as possible…?

“huh?”

“Why… do you do that?”

“Isn’t it okay if I stay with them like this and don’t have to hide?”

“Now that

I think about it…” Geum Geum-ran smiled without even realizing it.

Although the power of Cheonjigyo is strong, it is not as strong as the Demonic Cult. Also, since the martial arts skills of the Four Heavenly Emperors and Elders cannot be compared to the Five Emperors, there is no safer place than this.

Although I don’t like having to do some slave-like things, isn’t the most important thing in the end to be able to live without dying?

“haha! “This is a blessing!”

“That’s right, hoho.”

Geum Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong burst into laughter.

At first, all I wanted to do was run away, but now the best thing to do was to sit down as much as possible and use their strength to survive.

Isn’t it the most important thing for a human being to be able to sleep with both feet stretched out without worrying about death, no matter how hard it is? Therefore, there is no hiding place like this.

“Something… you seem to be in a really good mood, priestess. haha.”

At that time, a chilling voice was heard from behind.

The sounds of the two people laughing suddenly stopped, and they both broke into a cold sweat and swallowed small moans. I instinctively realized that it was a voice I had heard many times somewhere.

Soon, I slowly turned my back and looked towards the direction from which the sound came, and sure enough, I saw a person who was so familiar that I never wanted to encounter him.

“Brother… Elder….”

“Hehehe – it’s been a long time.”

Hyeongungak smiled darkly and slowly began to approach.

* * *

“Oh my, you’re so late.”

Jang Sam-tae, who was drinking alone on the first floor of the inn, looked at the people who were just coming in with bleary eyes and smiled helplessly.

There were three or four liquor bottles lying around around Jang Sam-tae, which gave the impression that he had drank quite a bit.

Dan Woo-hyeon looked at him and shook his head.

“Did you drink here without dressing up and going out?”

“Haha… Hahaha! Where do you go out? This Jang Sam-tae! “There is only one plum fragrant!”

At that moment, Nam Gung-cheon and Sadohak showed dumbfounded expressions. Everyone could see that he was dressed up to go out. Since he was wearing a completely different outfit than usual and even had his hair oiled, it seemed like he was probably trying to go to a good place.

But maybe the reason I didn’t go was.

“It looks like you were caught off guard.”

“Hehehe, Maehyang is so special.”

I felt like I knew without having to hear the story.

Seeing the guy who likes to go out and have fun sitting alone and drinking even though he was alone for the first time in a long time, it was clear that Maehyang had prepared a secret trick to block his actions.

“It looks like it’s on the top of your head.”

“Haha! Jangju, please get a drink too! “I’m dressing up like this and pouring drinks for you, so you should take it!”

Since I used my energy to drink alcohol without getting drunk, it is natural for my eyes to roll. Jang Sam-tae wiped the glass he drank cleanly with his collar and immediately filled the glass to the brim.

For a moment, Dan Woo-hyeon’s expression darkened.

He seemed to be thinking for a moment about whether he should drink it or not, but then he looked at the two old men’s gaze and let out a small sigh.

“okay.”

“Kya! This is how our Lord is! Isn’t he the greatest man of all time? “Even though he’s lived for a thousand years, he’s still fine, unlike those two skeletal old men!”

At that moment, Dan Woo-hyeon, who was holding the glass to his mouth, stopped.

Also, the two old men who were watching from the side looked at Jang Sam-tae with dumbfounded expressions, but he himself seemed to be unaware of anything because he was already unconscious.

“Ac! “I can’t even go out and drink as much as I want!”

“Huh… heh, this guy has really gone crazy.”

“no way! Old man… Wow! This Jang Sam-tae is fine! “I drank a little, but I’m fine!”

Jang Sam-tae was confident.

I admit I drank a lot, but it didn’t make me black out. I clearly remember who the people in front of me are, but where did I get drunk?

It’s just that your eyes are spinning a little.

“But where did you two go?”

At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon looked around and found Jin Tae-gong and Geum Geum-ran. Since the three of them went together, I thought they would be together, but it looks like they drank alone until they were speechless.

“Woof! I… I told him to grab some money and come out. Ugh, if you suffer from hard labor every day, voila! You should at least give them time to rest. Isn’t it? Lord Jang?”

“…okay?”

“yes! you’re right! So, I’m asking Jang Sam-tae to take some time to rest! “Why are you always so upset that you can’t catch me?”

Jang Sam-tae, who was drunk, still seemed to have no idea who he was talking about or what he was saying. I just said that whatever came out of my mouth was just words and it poured out without going through my head.

Rather, it was Dan Woo-hyeon and the two old men who were embarrassed by the situation.

I thought there would be a lot of things accumulated, but I didn’t expect the words to come out so violently.

“Then… they might have escaped.”

“to? “Are they… running away…?”

“Yeah, I can’t see it.”

At that time, Dan Woo-hyeon looked at Jang Sam-tae with a grin on his face. The fact that he didn’t come back until the bottle was rolling around means that there is a high possibility that he has already run away.

Because quite a lot of time has passed.

“Bwa…!”

And the moment he heard those words, Jang Sam-tae did not move, as if time had stopped. He just quietly looked at Dan Woo-hyeon’s face, and then his eyes widened.

Ran away…?

“You… ran away!?”

Saaaaagh –

At that moment, pure white steam began to rise from Jang Sam-tae’s face. This is something that often happens to people who quickly use their inner energy to get drunk.

Jang Sam-tae, who was slowly beginning to come back to his senses, looked straight at Dan Woo-hyeon, then quietly rolled his eyes and faced the two old men beside him.

“Hi?!”

“Hehe… Are you finally coming to your senses?”

“Seeing as you drank so much alone, I guess you like alcohol. Come on, sit down here. “I will let you drink as much as you want.”

Sadohak and Namgungcheon suddenly stood up, grabbed Jang Samtae, and forced him to sit down. Soon, he called the guest housekeeper and had him bring a large jar of alcohol to the container.

Suddenly, a large jar of alcohol appeared, and Sadohak, who had thrown away the small drinking glasses, scooped the liquor into a large bowl using a ladle.

“You can’t go anywhere until you drink it all.”

“Uh… old man… just a moment. No, my successors… ran away…”

“Hehehe – alcohol is more important than that right now. Come on, take a sip. “If even one drop remains, your fingers will turn to dust.”

“Wha?!”

“Isn’t it nice to have these two bones as drinking partners?”

Sadohak, who was shoulder to shoulder with Jang Sam-tae, gave him strength.

It seemed to imply that no matter what happens, you cannot stand up until you finish drinking. Perhaps that also included going to see Sophie.

Jang Sam-tae looked at Dan Woo-hyeon with a thoughtful expression.

Despite his earnest eyes asking for help, Dan Woo-hyeon calmly looked away and sighed.

“Drink, drink! This time, take a deep breath.”

“Kkkeok? “Save me…?!”

I couldn’t hear Jang Sam-tae’s distressed voice.
