Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 585

< The Return of the God of War Side Story Episode 85 >

“The Church of Heaven and Earth…? Have you ever heard of it?”

Bicheonwoong nodded at Kwon Mujin’s words.

Unlike the other five emperors, Bicheonwoong is still active in the martial arts world, so there are many things he picks up here and there.

So I naturally had no choice but to hear about Cheonjigyo, but that doesn’t mean I know the details. This is because if you are not the client or the person being requested in the first place, there is not much interest.

All I know is….

“…there are some who call it Gwangjonggyo (狂宗敎).”

“And… Gwangjong?”

The moment Kwon Moo-jin heard the story, he broke into a cold sweat.

Despite the name Cheonjigyo, the fact that they were given the nickname Gwangjong means that their evil deeds are no different from those of crazy people.

“Why… the unit price in a place like that?”

“…It must be something related to the head of the family.”

“Ah-”

At Bicheonwoong’s words, Kwon Moojin nodded and sighed.

Well then.

Isn’t it strange that those people went out and didn’t have anything to do with it? I thought that perhaps all of this was a natural process.

I shook my head without realizing it.

I knew it would be a difficult journey ever since those two strange guys arrived, but why get involved with these crazy guys?

It would be nothing short of a blessing for the current martial arts group, but it would be a disaster for the Church of Heaven and Earth. On the contrary, something very annoying happened from the perspective of Dan Woo-hyeon, the head of the family.

Kwon Moo-jin was already reminded of the two excited old men and the face of Dan Woo-hyeon, who had a calm expression but eyes filled with annoyance.

“Ugh… I wonder what will happen… More than that, what should I do with this guy?”

Kwon Moo-jin glanced at the prisoner who was covered in blood. It’s really pitiful to see him trembling, as if he doesn’t even have the strength to open his mouth anymore.

He looked like he would be ready to ask any questions, but he already knew the whole situation and there was nothing more worth asking.

However, since they tried to attack Danga, they can’t just leave it alone, so should they hand it over to the government?

The moment you think like that.

Flutter-!

Bicheonwoong’s blade flew out of nowhere and pierced the man’s forehead.

“omg?!”

“…? “Why are you doing that?”

“Oh no… no.”

Kwon Moo-jin, contemplating the tragedy that unfolded before his eyes, shook his head. I knew that Bicheonwoong was this kind of person, but I was surprised because I had never seen him so cruel when I was in Danga.

“…The base is said to be Shanxi.”

“I’m sure the matriarch must have gone that way too.”

Soon, as Bi Cheon-woong shared the information he obtained through torture, Kwon Moo-jin thought about Dan Woo-hyeon’s personality and figured out their movements.

If it is to the point of attacking Danga, it means that it has become a very deep-rooted evil relationship, and no matter how annoying Danwoohyeon is, it is natural to try to root it out for the sake of the future.

“what? So does that mean I can see my husband if I go to Shanxi?”

At that time, Maehyang slowly opened the door and came inside.

He soon looked at the body in front of him and raised his eyes wide, but then slowly took a deep breath as if he was trying to calm his mind and looked at Kwon Moo-jin.

It seemed like whether or not she would be able to meet her husband, Jang Sam-tae, was more important to her than the bodies lying around.

“Oh, maybe not? But the road to get there…”

“You mean, even if you stay here, you could be attacked by strange guys. If that’s the case, it would be better to go see your husband. “It will be much safer.”

Kwon Moo-jin sighed at that one word.

It is not an easy journey from Honam to Shanxi. I thought it would not be an easy decision to make since I had to move to such a place with two children.

But it seems like Maehyang has already made his decision.

Even if I tried to stop him, he wouldn’t listen and I couldn’t leave him alone, so in the end, there could only be one answer.

Maehyang smiled brightly.

“Then I’ll pack my bags and bring the kids.”

“Oh no, wait a minute…!”

Kwon Moo-jin tried to dissuade her in any way possible, but Mae-hyang just ignored it and headed towards her residence with light steps.

Even though Jang Sam-tae had greatly offended Mae-hyang by leaving his luggage without a word, the fact that he was her only husband in the world still remained the same, and Mae-hyang’s steps to pack her bags to see him seemed very light.

Kwon Moo-jin looked away with a bitter smile on his face.

“Uh… what about the old man…?”

“…If you go, you can see Somi, right?”

“Of course… I can see it, right?”

“….”

Bicheonwoong was lost in thought for a moment.

He stopped by occasionally, but this time he didn’t come back for quite some time. It’s already been five years, so I was curious how Dansomi has changed.

If it wasn’t for this opportunity, I didn’t know when I would come back again, so I thought it would be a wise choice to at least see him face to face.

So the thought didn’t last long.

“Let’s go together.”

“All right.”

Eventually, Kwon Moo-jin breathed a sigh of relief at Bi Cheon-woong’s words. It is not easy to protect Maehyang and her two children alone while traveling to Shanxi.

It’s not that you can’t do it, but a small mistake can turn into a huge disaster, so if Bicheonwoong is with you, there will be nothing more reassuring than this.

“Then I will come prepared too.”

After nodding and saying hello, Kwon Moo-jin left and Bi Cheon-woong was left alone. As he quietly looked around the barn, a motionless body caught his eye.

“….”

Should I clean it up?

Normally, other people like Jang Sam-tae or Kwon Moo-jin would do the job, but Jang Sam-tae is not there and Kwon Moo-jin will be busy packing his luggage.

However, Bi Cheon-woong knew that if Dan Woo-hyeon returned, he would not be able to take care of the body if he left it here, so he began to clean up the body as if he had no choice.

It must be cleaned up thoroughly without leaving even a trace.

Unless you want to die.

* * *

Shanxi has been a noisy place since ancient times.

The four factions gathered their strength to drive out Jeong Do and build a new castle of their own, which was the Emperor Wulseong Fortress. Since it was a place created by the absolute leaders of Sapa in name and reality, the people of Sapa thought that entering the Imperial Palace was the greatest honor.

The innermost part of the castle is so deep that people cannot easily access it, and it is a secret space that will not leak out no matter what happens.

“Cluck cluck!”

In that place, an old man coughed and vomited blood.

His pale, dead complexion made me feel that his condition was not very good, and his body with no flesh visible, so much so that his bones were exposed, made me realize that he had not even had a proper meal.

The old man’s condition seemed so serious that it felt amazing that he was even alive.

“Please eat.”

At that time, the door opened and a man appeared.

In one hand, he was holding a small bowl of water, which appeared to have been taken for an old man who was coughing continuously.

However, the old man who glanced at the water bowl stretched out his hand and threw the water bowl away, paying no heed to the sincerity of the man who had fetched the water.

Clink-!

The man sighed as the bowl shattered with a loud sound.

“He does not want you to die. So… you should buy it.”

“…You damn bastards! How dare you attack this enemy… Cough, cluck!”

“….”

He was once a member of the Five Emperors, the pillar of the Four Sects, and had a misguided view of the world. Jeok Mu-seong gritted his teeth and expressed his anger with a fiery expression.

I was eroded by an unknown poison without knowing why, and the blood vessels in my entire body were blocked. What eventually happened was that those who had trusted him so much threw away their loyalty and imprisoned him in the name of healing, and took away all his strength and authority by controlling the Imperial Palace as they pleased.

“I… I will never leave you alone…”

“…”

The man sneered and turned his back on the master he had served in the past. Jeok Moo-seong, who has been eroded by the poison prepared by ‘them’, cannot use a single ounce of air power due to the blood flow in his entire body being blocked.

Also, it is no exaggeration to say that only the bones remain. Isn’t he just an old man whose body looks like it will break if you even touch it?

“You’ve done a lot so far… Now please give up your seat, Seongju.”

“Keuuk! This guy…!”

Commander Gwan Tae-hyung sneered as he looked at Jeok Mu-seong, who was spouting out his anger.

Sapa, which has been trapped in the shadow of redness for too long, is experiencing no development.

It’s not moving forward.

But now Sapa will be different.

They are not the people of the past who were ignored and despised by political factions and demonic religions. A new force will step into the midfield once again with new strength.

“The lord of the castle will never be able to escape from here on his own two feet.”

“this guy…!”

And at his words, Jeok Mu-seong clenched his fist. Since he had lost a lot of energy, it must have been difficult for him to exert himself like this, but even so, he looked at him as if he was letting out all the anger he had built up.

Soon, Gwan Tae-hyeong went outside, and Jeok Moo-seong, who had been staring at the place for a while, sighed as if spitting out the anger built up inside him.

Immediately, I closed my eyes tightly and got into position to perform the Ungong. It is because of the hope that if we can somehow break through the blood path, we can punish those bastards.

However, although I can feel the inner power in the dantian, it does not budge. Even though I’ve been doing this for several years, the reason I can’t even pierce a single blood clot is that the poison someone used is probably not ordinary.

In the end, Jeok Mu-seong, who had been trying to move his inner energy somehow during the one-hour examination, sighed again and slowly opened his eyes.

“This is outrageous….”

Who would have thought that the world would become like this?

If I had known that I would be abandoned like this, I would not have left Honam Danga. Or, he should have brought Kwon Moo-jin in and kept him by his side at all costs.

Because there is no one I can trust more than him.

Jeok Museong lamented his choice and sighed deeply.

What are those two guys doing now?

Are two people still bickering at Go?

When I thought of those two guys, I frowned without realizing it.

“Huh… Heh….”

What kind of expression would they make if they found out about this situation? The expressions of Nam Gung-cheon and Sadohak were automatically pictured in my mind.

They will laugh at it and make fun of it as if it is ridiculous.

Thinking about that made me even more angry than before.

I can never show them like this.

Jeok Mu-seong sat cross-legged again with difficulty.

“No matter what happens to me… I won’t let them see me like this.”

Jeok Mu-seong gritted his teeth, showing even stronger anger and fighting spirit than the anger he had expressed a moment ago.
