Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 82
Episode 82:
Something is strange.
Hu Hu-ryeong frowned as he thought about that. Those who had to be kicked out of the manor by Hyeonseung and Yoo Yak-jung were still there, and those who were supposed to be paid to do the work did not seem to have disappeared.
At first, I thought he must have gone somewhere for a few days, but since I haven’t heard from him in over 10 days, I wondered if something had happened for four months.
‘Why did it become like this?’
Hu Hu-ryeong suddenly thought about his actions so far.
The reason he came to Akyang was to find the secret treasure of God Mu. In order to confirm what had only been rumored, the area around Dongdong Lake had to be thoroughly searched, which necessitated the need for a manor.
Was it necessary?
no.
In fact, if we had started by setting up a tent nearby, enough time had passed that we would have already figured something out.
Still, what didn’t you do?
It’s pride.
What is a manor?
The confident and shameless behavior of that guy named Jangju was annoying, so at first it was simply an intention to harass him.
But as this was gradually not going as planned, I began to focus only on that task without realizing it and started gnashing my teeth at them.
In the meantime, even Yuyakjung disappeared.
“What… Lord Moon!”
While I was frowning and thinking that, I suddenly heard a voice. Surprised, Hu Hu-ryeong naturally looked away and opened his mouth.
“What’s going on?”
“There was a big problem. Ah, a corpse was found at the foot of the cliff of Akroksan Mountain…”
“Because?”
“It’s called Yu-glazing!” “What…what!”
“The body has now been collected and taken to the government office. “It has already decayed beyond recognition, but judging by the clothes it is wearing and its nameplate, it is certain!”
Surprised, Hu Hu-ryeong opened his eyes wide.
Seeing him speak with such confidence, it seemed like there was no doubt about it. Why did he suddenly die and become a corpse?
Hu Hu-ryeong, who had been thinking that far, gritted his teeth.
‘They…!’
It’s definitely them.
The day after they said they would leave the manor, they were still staying at the manor and Yu Yak-jung had disappeared. Of course, there will be only them.
This is how things got complicated again.
Hu Hu-ryeong suddenly stood up, got ready, and headed to the government office.
‘You idiots! ‘You disturbed the beehive like this.’
It is truly a pity that Yu Yao-jung died.
However, an opportunity arose to strike down those who had turned his plans into a bubble one after another.
Now that there was no Hyeonryeong, if they could instigate them even a little, taking the manor would not have been a problem.
When I arrived at the government office, the area was already extremely cluttered.
Many people gathered around and were busy chatting. Some police officers were sitting down in a corner with pale faces, vomiting, as if they had seen something they shouldn’t have seen.
When Hu Hu-ryeong tried to enter the government office, the police blocked his path.
“What brought you here?”
“I heard that Hyunseung died. Is that true?”
“…That’s right.”
After staring at Hu Hu-ryeong for a moment, Pojol soon realized Hu Hu-ryeong’s identity. This means that he is the gatekeeper of Punggeommun Gate who used to go with Hyeonseung.
For a moment, the police officer’s gaze became grim.
“I know who killed him.”
“What are you talking about? “Hyunseung committed suicide.”
“what? What nonsense are you talking about! Suicide? “How could a sane person do something like that!”
“It has already been concluded.”
“I can’t believe it has come to a conclusion! There is definitely someone who killed Hyunseung!”
“Oh well. “Do you have any evidence as to whether he killed him or not?” “We think we’re having fun. “I’m busy so let’s go quickly.”
Hu Hu-ryeong blushed profusely. At best, he is a police officer. At best, you are just an opponent that you can beat at any time you put your mind to it. This police officer in front of you probably knows who he is, but his tone and actions are uninhibited.
Hu Hu-ryeong’s face became grim as he thought it was an act of ignoring the Wind Sword Gate.
“Who am I?”
“What was the fuss about?”
After trying to threaten the police officer, Jaryeong frowned and turned his head when he suddenly heard a sound. There was a vaguely familiar person there, and as I searched through my memories, I immediately recognized who it was.
‘Hyeongyeong!’
Hu Hu-ryeong briefly made eye contact with Hong Won-chang as he entered the government office.
He didn’t have sharp eyes, nor was he particularly strong in martial arts.
He’s just an ordinary person, but what is this strange feeling he feels the moment he looks at him?
“Oh my gosh, are you here? “No, this guy keeps talking nonsense, saying he found out who killed Hyunseung.”
“Hoo? Are you the culprit who killed Hyunseung? Who is that? “I want to know too.”
Hong Won-chang looked at Hu Hu-ryeong with an expression that said it was an interesting story.
There wasn’t even any hostility in those gazes, but Hu Hu-ryeong felt strangely pressured.
Hu Hu-ryeong frowned invisibly and opened his mouth.
“Do you know that there is a manor west of Dongjeong Lake?”
“Of course.”
“The people there are the culprits.”
Hearing those words, Hong Won-chang groaned for a moment. Even the police officers nearby had expressions of bewilderment, and Hu Hu-ryeong knew the reason better than anyone else.
This means that the person behind the manor is this Hyeonryeong.
“As the lord of the Punggeommun Gate that protects Aeyang, I do not plan to sit idly by and ignore this matter. “It seems like the prefect doesn’t understand the situation properly, so… I’m going to
report this to the king ?”
Hu Hu-ryeong secretly pressured Hong Wen-chang.
At most, it is just a prefecture of Akyang. No matter how much they are loved by the king and the imperial family, if they say things like this, they have to be abandoned for the sake of the future.
Hu Hu-ryeong looked at Hong Wenchang with a triumphant face.
So what should we do now? If you go to the manor with the police like this, I might forgive you.
The moment Hu Hu-ryeong was thinking that.
Hong Won-chang cleared his throat and slowly approached him. Hu Hu-ryeong, who had enough martial arts ability to respond no matter what anyone did, kept an eye on Hong Won-chang, who was approaching without notice.
“I heard everything about what happened. Some very interesting things happened. But listen carefully.”
Hong Won-chang muttered softly and brought his mouth close to Hu Hu-ryeong’s ear. Soon, something completely unexpected came out of his mouth.
“I am the one holding the sword hilt, not you. If you want to live comfortably, get out of Jang Won’s business. “It’s not a place that someone like you can go over.”
At that moment, Hu Hu-ryeong’s face turned red.
However, Hong Won-chang paid no heed and straightened up and struck Hu Hu-ryeong on the shoulder. Hu Hu-ryeong gritted his teeth at the sight of him appearing to treat a subordinate.
Looking at Hong Won-chang, who had already turned his back and entered the government building, Hu Zia-
ryeong also roughly turned his back.
His words still linger in my ears and have not disappeared.
‘Why is Jang Won protecting me like that!’
I have never experienced anything like this before. Although his name was not widely known when he was in Hubei, it was not in a position that the county ordinance could ignore.
Because of that, this current situation was very shameful for him.
If so, I have no choice but to show it.
How great is the power of this Wind Sword Gate.
That the blood shed while ruling this evil yang was never a lie.
He also promised that he would make people realize that it was not the wise man who held the sword hilt, but the latter himself.
Hu Hu-ryeong gritted his teeth and looked away, and the disciple next to him lowered his head.
“Gather the children together. “Today, that manor will be torn to pieces, not a single cornerstone left.”
“All right.”
Sasasasak-!
A group of people quickly moved towards the manor.
It was unusual to see all of them holding swords in their hands and exuding excitement.
Those who are originally martial artists, and those from political factions belonging to the Murim Alliance, consider it taboo to touch those who do not know martial arts.
But are taboos really that important?
This is how the powerful subdue the weak. It is a human instinct that has been passed down for a very long time, and that is why people make such efforts to have power.
Also, isn’t it funny to have power but not use it?
“see. “Don’t leave a single one alive!”
“yes!”
The disciples nodded at Munju Hu Hu-ryeong’s command.
It wasn’t the first time they killed someone. That’s why they expertly headed to the manor.
As the place got closer, their vitality soared like an explosion.
Finally, it was time to climb over the fence and dig inside.
Plop!
A rock flew out of nowhere and hit a man on the head. His beaten body fell in vain.
Although he groaned as if he wasn’t dead, it didn’t seem like he would be able to hold the sword again.
Those who tried to climb over the fence stopped in an unexpected situation.
Soon, there was another ‘pop!’ from inside. A harsh sound was heard, followed by a small groan and then silence.
“Hey, didn’t I tell you I was coming?”
“Huh, this is…”
Just then, a voice was heard, but the direction was not inside the wall, but behind them.
Rocks are flying inside the wall and there are people behind it?
Hu Hu-ryeong looked embarrassed.
“Who are you guys?”
“That’s what this side has to say. “Please tell me why I wear a mask and climb over the wall of someone’s house in the middle of the night like this.”
Hu Hu-ryeong quietly looked at the old man who spoke.
Judging by his voice, he was definitely an old man. The hand that was slightly visible in the moonlight was full of wrinkles.
I thought it was probably the old man wearing a hat that I saw at the manor last time.
However, the old man was wearing a mask, as if he did not want to show his face. It was a mask that resembled a gunja sword or something that is popular among children these days.
“He’s an old man with strange hobbies.”
“You’re not an old man.”
“what?”
Hu Hu-ryeong was taken aback by the unexpected words.
Not only the voice, but also the wrinkles on his hands and the pure white beard that was revealed through the mask were definitely those of an old man.
However, when Hu Hu-ryeong said that he was not an old man, he looked absurd for a moment.
An old man with only the hem of his clothes flapping as if he had no arm took a step forward, holding a sword.
Hu Hu-ryeong looked at old man Namgung-cheon with the gaze of a crazy person.
As if he had read Hu Hu-ryeong’s intentions, the old man slowly lifted the sword in his hand and opened his mouth.
“This old man… is called Gunjageom.”
At that one word, Hu Hu-ryeong and his disciples burst into laughter.
The nickname ‘Gunjageom’ was used a lot in the past, but no one used it at some point.
This is because it became an object of admiration for children after it was used as a nickname for a character in a story.
Hu Hu-ryeong twisted his expression and muttered.
“You look like a senile old man.”
