Possessing a Murim Clan’s Youngest Son - Chapter 80
Episode 80. The place where the chaotic
martial arts group is located is Henan Province, famous for the opening of the Shaolin Temple and Pocheongcheon.
The place where Qingcheng Mountain is located was Sichuan Province.
Considering the wide central plains, it couldn’t be considered very far, but even if you go by car, it’s still a distance that would take a day or two.
If you ride a horse, it will take at least ten days.
The promised period with the Murim Alliance is one month and a half.
So, including the travel time, it was somewhat generous.
But the problem is people.
This is because it was a gathering of characters who were extremely awkward with each other.
The four men ran down the road with their horses side by side.
The relationship between Han Yi-bi and Jong Li-hyeok was ambiguous, and the relationship between So Eun-ri and Yeo Nan-ju was bleak.
The twisted genealogy also played a role.
Jong Ri-hyeok and Yeo Nan-ju, who can be said to be practically seniors of the Cheongseong faction, were formally one rank lower than Bok Yeon-hwa’s immediate disciples, So Eun-ri and Han Ibi.
Isn’t Jong Ri-hyuk even Han Yi-bi’s older brother?
In this situation, the only person who seemed excited was Yeo Nanju.
Because she had admired Jong Ri-hyuk for a very long time.
Yeo Nan-ju looked excited, as if she were about to go on a trip.
She asked Jong Ri-hyuk various questions whenever she had time, but Jong Ri-hyuk only answered briefly.
So in the end, Yeo Nan-ju had no choice but to keep quiet.
All you can hear is the sound of horses’ hooves.
The boring routine of riding horses all day during the day and staying in a guesthouse at night was repeated.
The romance of travel that Yeo Nan-ju had been looking forward to did not exist here.
Then one day.
Is it halfway through the journey?
It was late in the afternoon when we reached the border of Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces.
I thought the cloudy sky was ominous, but as expected, raindrops as thick as poles began to fall.
Jong Lihyuk frowned.
Although it was not as big as Cheongseongsan Mountain, the border section here was also a formidable mountainous terrain.
If I couldn’t get over the mountain quickly, I would have no choice but to sleep out on the street. If it rained, it could be said to be the worst situation.
Yeo Nanju said.
“Maybe we should go another way?”
Jong Lihyuk said while shaking his head.
“This is the only big road you can take your horse through.”
“Then… wouldn’t it be better to go back?”
Jong Lihyuk thought for a moment and then said.
“We’ve already come too far. If we have to go through this rain anyway, moving forward will be the way to buy time.”
Han Ibi said with a tearful expression on her face.
“So, let’s sleep out in this rain?”
Jong Lihyuk said.
“no. “If it keeps raining like this, it’s impossible to stay homeless.”
At that time, So Eun-ri spoke.
“The horses ran all day today. “If we continue on like this all night on this extremely difficult and muddy road, we will all die from exhaustion.”
Then Jong Li-hyuk nodded as if it made sense, stopped talking, and jumped down.
So the other party members had no choice but to stop talking.
Han Ibi said as she got off the horse in confusion.
“What’s wrong, bro?”
“Sister So is right. “We need to stock up on the horses’ stamina.”
“Eh? “Then let’s walk?”
“okay. “Let’s walk until the rain stops or we find a guesthouse.”
Yeo Nanju said.
“crying. “I’m throwing away all my shoes and clothes.”
Jong Li-hyuk said dryly.
“Then why don’t you go first on horseback?”
Then Yeo Nan-ju let out a ‘tch’ sound and got off the horse with a grunt.
At that moment, the dark forest suddenly ‘flashed’ and became brightly lit.
Gurgling.
Soon after, a loud noise echoed through the forest.
There was thunder.
Han Ibi sighed.
“To add insult to injury… it looks like the rain won’t stop anytime soon.”
Rumble boom.
There was a loud noise again and the sound of the earth shaking was heard.
“Aaaah!”
Yeo Nan-ju, who screamed, spoke with a frightened expression.
“It fell right next to the bar… right next to it.”
Han Ibi said, smiling as if it was fun.
“why? W Sojeo. “It looks like you’ve done something worthy of heavenly punishment, right?”
Then, Yeo Nan-ju crumpled her face and became angry.
“What did you say? You are now… Wow!”
Kwa-kwa-kwang.
When the thunder struck again, Yeo Nan-ju lost her anger without even being able to let go of it.
Han Ibi laughed as if it was fun.
Still, she was a woman I didn’t really like.
It was then.
Jong Ri-hyuk, who was leading the way, stood tall and raised one hand.
It should be a sign to be quiet.
Han Ibi also paused for a moment and stopped laughing.
So Eun-ri asked.
“What’s wrong?”
Jong Ri-hyuk said, putting his finger to his lips.
“I hear a strange noise up front.”
Then the remaining three people also closed their mouths and listened.
It wasn’t that it wasn’t, but I heard something that sounded like metal.
A sharp sound like weapons clashing.
There was actually a sound coming through the rain.
Yeo Nanju said with a worried expression.
“It would be better not to get involved in troublesome matters. “Go back the other way.”
Ebi Han said.
“Didn’t you hear what you said earlier? “They say there is no other way.”
He seemed to have fun teasing Yeo Nan-ju.
Yeo Nan-ju glanced at Han Yi-bi.
At that time, Jong Ri-hyuk tied his horse to a thick tree branch without saying a word.
Then the other three people realized what he meant and started talking in the same way.
Even though horses are smarter than other animals, animals are still animals.
If you hear even a horse neighing, trouble could happen.
Jong Lihyuk said.
“I will go ahead and see what the situation is.”
So Eun-ri said.
“no. “It could be more dangerous if we are separated from each other.”
Yeo Nanju helped.
“is it so. “It’s scarier when you’re alone.”
Then Jong Ri-hyuk rubbed his chin where the raindrops were dripping, thought about it, and said.
“Okay. Instead, you must not make any sound.”
Yeo Nanju answered.
“Of course.”
Jong Ri-hyuk took the lead first.
So Eun-ri and Yeo Nan-ju also organized their actions, lowered their popularity, and began to follow him.
It was a nimble movement.
Han Ibi thought.
‘If you look at them, they are just young people who look immature, but when you look at them like this, they still seem a bit like martial arts people.’
At the same time, he also manifested Zongli Pyopyohang and quickly followed them.
I wonder if it took about ten pages.
Jong Li-hyuk suddenly stopped walking and hid himself under a tall bush.
All the women also hid in appropriate locations.
Yeo Nan-ju was frowning as she looked at her bottoms that had become muddy….
Han I-bi also hid behind a huge tree and looked ahead.
His pupils got bigger.
There were more people there than expected.
If you add up the people lying on the floor, dead or alive, the number was much higher.
It looks like a fight broke out.
It seems to have been sorted out a bit now, so there was no more stabbing.
Then I heard someone talking.
The man wore a pointed hat and was very short. There were three or four men behind him.
“Oh my… if we kill them all like this, what are we going to do next?”
Then someone else said:
He was a very large man, the complete opposite of a small man, and appeared to be quite muscular.
His head was at least two or three heads taller than the others. He also had four or five people with him.
And between them, a middle-aged man is standing holding something that looks like a chest.
Looking at that outfit, it’s typical…
‘It looks like a sign.’
Han Ibi thought.
And then I took another quick look at the people who had fallen on the ground.
Their clothes were also the same as those of middle-aged people.
It seemed like they were probably local people.
At that moment the giant spoke.
“What? I don’t know what you’re talking about. “Why are you trying to kill us and then pass it on to us?”
Then the middle-aged man with the pointy hat snorted and said.
“joy. “That trashy behavior is still the same.”
Then the giant laughed and said.
“Whatever, it doesn’t matter. In any case, this Bangmasan Mountain is under the jurisdiction of your Zhou Longchai.”
Judging from their conversation, I thought they were probably a group of bandits called Nokrim.
However, Han Ibi had no idea what they were talking about.
Moreover, as described in many martial arts novels, these Green Foresters tend to focus on compromising and collecting tolls rather than blatantly attacking the territory as they do now.
It was then.
The middle-aged man holding the chest shook his body like the wind and did a light attack.
It happened so quickly that both groups seemed to be caught off guard.
However, that direction happened to be in the direction where Han Ibi and her group were located.
‘Shit.’
Han Ibi muttered in her mind without realizing it.
Things were going wrong.
I tried to recall the memory several times, but there was no episode like this in ‘Dream of the Dead.’
This is complete shit!
‘Shit. Why on earth did it become like this!!’
Han Ibi felt like she wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.
Just as the man holding the chest mustered all his strength to break through the area where Han Ibi and his group were hiding…
ping ping ping.
I heard something.
Han Ibi saw that it was an object that looked like a commendation.
At that moment, I looked to see who had fired it, and it turned out that some of the bandits had fired it using a device that looked like a ‘gun’.
So, it could be said that it was a kind of memorization, but that its power was maximized through equipment.
The commendation was pressing down on the man at high speed, repelling the pouring rain.
However, the light behavior of the man who was running away was also unusual.
He dodged two throwing stars and caught the third with his sword.
Jang.
With a sound, the throwing star fell into a nearby tree.
Ping ping ping.
However, before I could come to my senses, three shurikens struck me again.
The middle-aged man was not ready yet.
Still, the man reaches out his hand reflexively.
land land.
With a sound, the two stars fell to the floor.
But…
“Ugh!”
A moan mixed with pain.
Finally, a dagger got stuck in the middle-aged man’s left heel.
Naturally, he sat down.
But the spot was right next to the big tree where Han Ibi was hiding.
‘Damn it… why come this way?’
At that time, the giant bandit who was chasing him spoke.
“Cheonshinwoo (千晨雨). How can it be said that the head of the great Yeoseonpyoguk (輿先鏢局) is thinking of getting out of the way? Hehehe. “I’m really worried that rumors will spread throughout the world.”
Then a middle-aged man named Cheon Shin-woo groaned and said.
“Ugh. How dare you… think who commissioned the work…”
said the giant.
“Dunno. I don’t even want to know. Well, don’t you know that this floor is like that anyway? Well, we just have to be good at killing insects. Ugh.”
At the same time, groups of bandits were pouring in that direction.
Han Ibi, who was right next to him, as well as his companions hiding nearby, were all nervous and their spirits were rising.
It was then.
The dark vision suddenly became brighter.
You don’t have to bring up the science lessons you learned when you were young. You’ll know soon….
Gurgling.
The sound of thunder shook the earth.
And right next to Yeonanju.
“Ahh!”
Her screams rang out.
A moment of silence.
Only then did the bandits realize that there was someone other than themselves.
It was then.
A small, skinny man was seen approaching the fallen Cheon Shin-woo with the speed of lightning.
It was a man standing quietly in the giant’s camp.
With his swift attack, he instantly snatched the chest that Cheon Shin-woo was carrying.
