Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return

< Return to War, Episode 48 >

There was a large village near Mt. Wudang. It was a simple village a long time ago, but it has grown since the name of the Shaman faction began to become known, and is now the largest village in the vicinity.

The villagers there are all said to be simple and generous. However, since most of the villagers had connections with shamans in the past, and there are also a significant number of people who have lived in that way for generations, it would not be an exaggeration to say that half of the villagers are basically learning martial arts.

Therefore, no one easily causes a disturbance here.

This is because if you do something pointless in front of the villagers who are heavily influenced by the shaman, one of the pillars that is right down to your bones, you may not even be able to get your bones back together.

A rumor was secretly spreading in the village, which could naturally be said to be the scariest place for enemies threatening Jeongdo.

“what? “Demon Saint?”

“That’s right. “They were definitely people from the Church of Heaven and Earth.”

Someone’s words from the guesthouse aroused the curiosity of those eating.

Naturally, my gaze turned towards them.

“There is a carriage parked near Mt. Wudang… From the looks of it, it looks like they are going to attack the shaman soon…”

At that moment, the people’s expressions turned cold.

Rumors have already spread widely that Ma Seongja has entered Hubei. So it seemed that not many people thought that what those men said was a lie.

“Is that true!?”

“If it’s true, isn’t it time to sit still!”

Warriors with swords stood up everywhere.

Cheonjigyo is currently the enemy of Jeongdo Murim.

The fact that they are running around so freely is something that hurts their pride, but since they are said to be staying near Mt. Wudang to attack the shaman faction rather than anywhere else, it is something that cannot be ignored by warriors who have a deep sense of color to their bones.

People who were eating stood up one by one.

There was a spark of life in their eyes.

“Ugh… If I had come by the main road, it would have taken me a month to travel…”

Jang Sam-tae, who is living on the street, clicked his tongue as he recalled the time it took to get from Honam to Shaman.

Due to an unfortunate incident, there was a significant delay, and this was serious in that it was not just a day or two.

Hasn’t it been almost two months?

When I thought about the path I had to take in the future, it seemed distant.

“Take your time and think. Hehehehe – I gave up from the beginning.”

Namgungcheon smiled as he picked up a piece of rabbit meat he had hunted. In the first place, was there ever an accident that didn’t occur while Dan Woo-hyeon was walking?

In that sense, I thought this journey would not be easy either.

The delay of nearly a month is not a big deal.

“What on earth is this Church of Heaven and Earth that they’re such a bastard? I really wish they couldn’t crack down on things like that….”

“From what I heard, it’s an organization that has been operating in secret for a long time. But what hasn’t been revealed is that there are so many big and small things happening in the meantime… That’s right.”

Namgung Sohye shook her head.

It was when the Honam Danga completely stopped its activities that Cheonjigyo began to appear in earnest. It’s said to have been there before, but isn’t it obvious why it wasn’t revealed?

Other incidents and accidents were completely buried as the people of Danwoohyeon and Honamdanga were wandering around the central plains and throwing things away.

And with everything in order, he took advantage of that opportunity to grow his power and expand his influence.

In a way, Honam Danga is not without responsibility.

“Haha, yes, it is a religious group.”

“Hehe – isn’t the devil a religious group if you think about it?”

“How dare this bastard compare! “Are you from the same demonic cult as those guys?”

“I think it’s because they are similar. No, I just thought of it! Hehehehe, don’t get upset.”

Nam Gung-cheon smiled brightly and stroked his beard. Although he is telling me not to get angry, his eyes are clearly belittling the Demonic Cult.

We’ve been together for ten years and it hasn’t changed.

Namgung Sohye clenched her eyebrows.

I flinched at the momentum that spread so quickly.

I thought it would be more relaxing to watch a fight between a tiger and a bear.

“Whether it’s a demonic sect, a righteous sect, or a pseudo-sect, in the eyes of our Lord, they are all the same, so what do you care?”

At that time, Jang Sam-tae picked his nose and opened his mouth.

In his view, there seemed to be an underlying perception that no matter how great Moorim was, it was not as good as Dan Woo-hyeon. So, even though the two old men were talking about who was better and who was worse, it was just funny.

Pow!

“Kwaaah?! Nose… Nose! “Blood!”

“Why do you keep saying useless things, you bastard?”

“Hehe – do you want to see blood on your face, not your nose?”

Jang Sam-tae sat down, clutching his bleeding nose. It doesn’t seem like I said anything wrong, so why are you beating me up for doing something so wrong?

“Oh my gosh, I’m dying…!”

“Are you okay, uncle?”

“Oh… it’s a blessing to be self-employed.”

Namgung Sohye let out a small sigh.

Namgungcheon and Apostolic Studies are already deeply stained with what is called Jeongpan and Magyo. If you say Dan Woo-hyeon is the best in front of someone like that, it’s natural that you’ll get hit.

Isn’t Jang Sam-tae even in the same position as a disciple of Apostolic Studies?

He said he was not aware of it, but if you think about it, he had to take the side of the Demonic Cult.

“By the way… the wind is very… strange.”

“Hehe, after following the head of the family like that, are you also doing wind taryeong?”

At that moment, Namgung Sohye blushed in anger.

Because I never imagined that such words would come out at this moment.

“What… what did you say… I just said it because it felt like the wind was blowing strangely?”

“Tsk tsk, how long are you going to follow that Danga guy around? “Isn’t it time to get married?”

Namgung Sohye frowned at Sadohak’s words while snorting. Who is marrying whom now?

“Elderly, let’s go first. long time! “You should have gone before.”

“A risk! “I am married to martial arts.”

“Yes, that’s amazing.”

“Are you arguing with me now?!”

“You really are arguing with me?!”

Namgung Sohye never backs down when faced with something called Sadohak. Her body flinched at the mere force of a light spray, but instead of giving in, she continued to glare and spread as much force as she could.

It feels like if I touch him just a little bit more, he will fearlessly swing his sword at Sadohak.

“Don’t worry about that! “My sister will definitely marry my father.”

At that time, Dansomi stepped in between the two with a grin. I don’t know if it was because they felt like there was going to be a real uproar or if they were just saying it to defuse the situation, but the two people’s eyes widened at Dansomi’s words.

Namgoong Sohye is especially spectacular.

He blushed even more red than before and lowered his head.

It looked as if it might explode at any moment.

“I am…! “I will make it happen!”

“Your father will eat a lot of money.”

Sadohak laughed as if that was completely negative. It’s funny that he’s getting married, but what about Namgung So-hye, who followed him around for ten years and didn’t even get any income?

Every dog passing by will laugh.

“But… I’m a little like that too.”

“Hehe-what do you mean?”

“The wind is a little uneasy… Anyway, there’s something a little strange about it.”

“…!”

The two old men, who had paid no attention when Namgung So-hye spoke, widened their eyes when Dan So-mi spit out the same words.

He must have realized something soon and let out a groan.

“Is it because of those guys from earlier?”

“Hehe, I guess I should have caught him.”

Nam Gung-cheon shook his head and stood up. Then, he searched through his belongings and put on a mask, and his appearance was absolutely identical to that of the Gunja Sword of the past.

“Oh my… I told you to catch him earlier.”

Sadohak similarly expressed his dissatisfaction by putting on a mask. Although there were quite a few of them, it would have been better to save them with a little effort than to cause trouble.

Soon, a sound started coming from not far away.

One by one, what sounded small at first slowly got closer, and everyone watching raised their eyes wide.

“What is this? How many people are there?”

“Approximately… I think it’s about four to five hundred…”

If you feel the presence slowly approaching, it’s roughly that number.

There will be some masters who are at the top and some who are not, but this overwhelming number was so daunting that it cannot be put into words.

Of course, only for two people.

“Holy shit! Why doesn’t something like this happen!?”

“What should I do? “There are too many…”

Jang Sam-tae gritted his teeth and shouted, but Namgung So-hye seemed stunned by the overwhelming number. Although I have quite a bit of experience with one-on-many, it was my first time dealing with such a large number.

Even Dansomi is by his side now.

“Cheonjigyo bastards! “I will kill them all!”

“Not a single one will be missed!”

Eventually, everyone’s eyes turned to Jang Sam-tae as they heard a loud shout. It was because, seeing as they were talking about Cheonjigyo and all, it seemed clear that they had come to target that guy.

“It’s not my fault?!”

“noisy. “If I hadn’t heard that you were a villain or something, things wouldn’t have happened like this.”

Jang Sam-tae was speechless due to the sharp words of Sadohak. I felt bad for being falsely accused, but when he said that he was responsible for this whole situation, I felt like I was dying for no reason.

At that time, Namgung-cheon looked around.

“Hmm… Let’s take refuge in the mountains first.”

Namgungcheon made a decision quickly.

There is no need to back down, but since the opponent has a misunderstanding about this, it is not a good idea to attack them blindly.

It is best to avoid it as much as possible.

This is the minority and that is the majority.

Also, since Wudang Mountain itself is very rough and the road itself is very rough, it will not be easy to even chase after it. Therefore, it will be easy to destroy them individually and reduce damage to a minimum.

“I wonder if even shamans will come forward if things go on like this.”

“Hehehe – I hope you can endure that much…”

Namgungcheon looked at the approaching people with a wide smile. There will be ronin there, and there will also be people related to shamans.

Because that kind of energy is vaguely felt.

However, there are also those who have a strong relationship between them. I can’t count the number exactly because it’s not just one or two, but it’s definitely a large number.

If a shaman were to intervene in this situation, there would be no such mess. Maybe even if they kill each other, it won’t even be noticed.

“I was just kidding, huh-”

Nam Gung-cheon shook his head and smiled bitterly.

I thought that perhaps blood rain might pour down on Mt. Wudang today.
