Episode 445
The arrangements left by the predecessor of Wolhwajang for the successor no longer existed in the world.
Because the demon ship quickly arrived at Haenam Island and destroyed all traces of it.
‘Maybe there is not just one trace of Wolhwajang that Ma Seon erased.’
If you think about it, it was a strange thing.
Quite a long time has passed since the battle in Banghyeon (房縣) ended.
Why did the religious leader dispatch Ma Seon to Haenam Island only after winter was over?
Neither the military nor the seasons could be an impediment to the movement of powerful individuals.
‘Maybe this isn’t the first place.’
Wolhwajang was a very powerful family in the past.
Although he was not included in the Five Great Powers, he still had a high reputation as the martial power that dominated Hanam (河南).
If compared to modern times, it could be said to have been in a similar position to Botaam (普陀庵) or Guangdong Jinga (廣東陳家).
Of course, the symbol of Hanam at that time was Shaolin Temple, but it was known that Wolhwajang had a greater influence on the local residents.
There was no way that traces of a family of that size would remain only in Haenam Island.
‘Even if it wasn’t just an arrangement left for a later person, there would be many places directly or indirectly related to Wolhwajang.’
The group with the most information and data about Wolhwajang was the Magyo.
It wouldn’t have been that difficult to select places where traces of the family were expected to remain.
If I were the leader of the Demon Cult, I would have given instructions to Demon Lord like this.
Tour the selected locations and erase all traces.
‘by the way.’
It’s not just another character, but Maseon is moving away from the headquarters.
It was a very unusual thing.
Maseon’s role within the school was, in some ways, more important than that of the religious leader.
The general manager who manages and supervises the production of magic elixirs and other elixirs.
In fact, the person responsible for the foundation of the Demonic Cult was Ma Seon.
Because of his status, it was rare for Ma Seon to go out on missions.
Even in his past life, the number of times he moved outside of his headquarters was so small that he could only count it on one hand.
‘You can’t believe you’re ordering a person like that to roam around the territory of the martial arts sect. It seems that the Demon Cult leader is also suffering from a manpower shortage.’
If it was natural, it was natural.
The leader of the world, the best expert in the world, was also a person after all.
Unless you have multiple bodies, there is bound to be a limit to the number of things you can respond to.
Vampire Demon Emperor, Blood Flower Witch, White Bone Demon Emperor, Bungcheon Demon Emperor.
Four of the eight great demons died.
If we add the Heavenly Evil Lord to that, it could be said that half of the Demonic Cult’s highest level of power has evaporated.
If you remove the sect leader, the only remaining absolute masters are the Hundred-Faced Death God, the Surama Emperor, the Iron Armored God, and the Demon Son.
‘But the other eight great demons are in charge of the battlefield.’
In the end, the only person to whom the job could be entrusted was Ma Seon.
There was also a reason why I was convinced that the identity of the passenger who visited Bidong was Maseon.
‘If only I had arrived in Haenam Island a little earlier.’
If only I had been lucky enough to catch the horse ship.
It would have been able to inflict enormous damage on the Demonic Cult.
Even though I knew it was a meaningless assumption, I couldn’t help but feel regret.
I stretched and headed to the dressing room.
Five days have already passed since we arrived in Haenam Island.
The Flame Soul Sword, which seemed like it would never recover, was gradually showing signs of improvement.
‘It looks a lot better on the outside.’
Entering my private room, I pulled a chair to the edge of the bed and sat down.
Most of the blood vessels that had strangely protruded above the skin had disappeared.
Even his pale face turned red.
Of course, it was still a stage where we couldn’t feel at ease.
The most dangerous part, the head, was somehow solved, but the body was still in complete disrepair.
‘You have to stay focused until the end.’
I collected the regurgitated bets and put them in the Danjeon, so things would be fine for a while.
If you neglect your work for even a day, there is a high possibility that you will run wild again.
After completing the pulse, the patient’s upper body was raised and his hand was placed on the Myeongmunhyeol (斀穴).
The brain energy needle traveled through the blood vessels, burning waste and turbid energy.
By the time I finished the long and tedious work, three hours had already passed.
‘Huh?’
I carefully placed the Flame Soul Sword on the bed and looked slightly surprised.
Flame Soul Sword’s eyelids seemed to tremble, and then both eyes opened.
I expected it would take at least seven days to regain consciousness.
I never thought I would wake up now that even half of the remnants of Simma had not been removed.
“······You.”
A very cracked voice.
My neck seemed to be very damaged because I had been lying in a hospital bed for a long time.
I picked up a bowl of water and, unable to continue my conversation, supported the clinking Flame Soul Sword’s head and helped him quench his thirst.
The neck of the Flame Soul Sword moved up and down repeatedly.
After clearing the dishes.

I introduced myself as I wrapped my arms around the sagging Flame Soul Sword.
“My name is Yeonsoon, the head of the Cheonangambu of the Murim League.”
“Yeonsoun? “Dragon King?”
“They are called by that nickname.”
“Why are you here?”
“I visited Haenampa after receiving a request to treat the elder.”
“Right. “Is it because of that that I survived?”
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Flame Soul Sword’s mouth.
He didn’t look happy that his life had been saved.
A reaction that was far from what was expected.
I narrowed my eyes and watched what he was saying.
“Why not just let me die?”
“yes?”
“I vaguely remember what I did when I fell into mania.”
“······?”
“Judging by your expression, it seems you didn’t hear me. Well, given his personality, he probably wouldn’t have told the details to outsiders.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“The students of Ewha University, who had a bright future ahead of them, lost their lives as warriors because of me. “There are three of them too.”
I couldn’t find anything to say in response and kept my mouth shut.
I thought I could understand why the Flame Soul Sword looked so pessimistic.
On the first day of arriving in Haenam Island, what Haenam Munju said to me passed through my mind.
[······A lot has happened. Should I say that it is a blessing in disguise that there were no deaths?]
It wasn’t really that Haenammunju lied to me.
They just didn’t tell me the details.
The master of fireworks became so mad that he went on a rampage, and there was no way he could subdue the target without causing any damage.
He may not have been able to fully display his skills as he had lost his sense of reason, but even so, for the warriors of the lowest level, what happened at that time would have been like a disaster.
‘Even if there were no deaths miraculously, there would have been many injured.’
As an adult recluse, I can’t help but feel guilty.
Of course, this was the situation with the Flame Soul Sword.
It had nothing to do with me.
To be honest, I didn’t feel very good.
After having worked so hard to keep him alive, he’s complaining that he shouldn’t have just left him to die.
I had the urge to stab the patient’s uvula and throw it away.
“Elder.”
“······.”
“I will tell you at the risk of being rude. Don’t shirk responsibility.”
The Flame Soul Sword looks back at me with a helpless gaze.
Seeing him digging into a tunnel by himself without even saying a word of thanks, I thought I could understand why he was so obsessed.
“Just because a senior dies doesn’t mean that Ewha students who lost their dantian will be able to recover their health. Isn’t it?”
“Then what do you mean I should do?”
“What can I do? The patient must take care of his or her body first. “Once you live, don’t you have to atone or do something?”
“······Atonement.”
“Wouldn’t you have rather let me die? Never say something like that in front of other Haenam believers. “Unless you are trying to trample on the hard work and effort of the disciples who traveled all the way to Honam to save their predecessors.”
“You have a knack for stating the truth in a sharp way. “Are you naturally like that?”
“Is that possible? “In fact, if you don’t have manners, I’m a corpse.”
Flame Soul Sword’s expression softened a little at the meaningless joke.
I didn’t really like the personality of the Flame Soul Sword person, but I decided that this situation itself might be good for me.
The purpose of my visit to Haenam Island was to attract the warriors of the Haenam faction to the battlefield.
In fact, after Flame Soul Sword woke up, I had a lot of worries about how to persuade him.
The best plan I came up with was to bring Namgung Geum to persuade him, but it was hard to think that Yeomsoungeom would easily accept a matter where the fate of the sect was at stake with just that.
However, I was able to get a hint of persuasion through the conversation I had with Flame Soul Sword a little while ago.
‘I have something to offer in return.’
It was now possible to offer an attractive price that the Flame Soul Sword could never refuse.
As I closed my eyes and looked down at the Flame Soul Sword lost in thought, I blurted out.
“There is a way for disciples who have lost their dantian to regain their martial arts skills.”
“what?”
Flame Soul Sword suddenly opened his eyes and tried to get up.
I moved my hands like lightning and captured his blood vessels.
Flame Soul Sword, whose limbs were as stiff as logs, protested with his eyes, asking me what I was doing.
‘If you’re a patient, you should lie down quietly like a patient. Why bother moving?’
Clicking my tongue in my heart, I held his hand and felt his pulse.
I was concerned that the sudden movement might have stimulated the bet.
“I know you’re surprised, but please calm down first. “If you do it wrong, the best treatment can turn into a sandfish.”
“Rather than that, please tell me what you just said in a little more detail.”
“I don’t like it.”
“······?”
“Looking at the elder’s appearance now, I feel anxious, so I can’t do it. If you want to hear the story, get your health back first.”
Not immediately revealing what you had was a basic part of negotiation.
The more I tease the other person, the more advantageous I can gain.
This was the price I would offer to Yeomhongeom, who had recovered some of his health later.
Jeongmyeong-gong (正明功).
One of the martial arts skills obtained by attacking Muyeongsintu’s Bi-dong.
Reviving a broken Danjeon was realistically impossible.
However, it was possible to practice Qigong (氣功) even without dantian (氣功) if it was Donggong (movement) rather than Left Gong (坐功).
Even though it would be difficult to completely regain the lost ground, at least the reaction to losing the dantian could be resolved.
Depending on your talent and effort, you may be able to grow to the level of an elite warrior.
‘In fact, Seogunak and Buyeokun managed to achieve a high level.’
It was a Flame Soul Sword that suffered from the guilt of having taken away the future of his students with his own hands.
Can he really turn down the opportunity to correct his mistakes?
‘As long as Namgung Geum is next to me and adds some air.’
I didn’t know that I could achieve my goal easier than I thought.
I drew an arc around the corner of my mouth and released the points that were restricting the limbs of the Flame Soul Sword.
“Hey, isn’t this your first meeting with me today?”
“Of course.”
“But why is your voice so sharp?”
“Why would you do it?”
“······.”
“Just stay calm and focus on your recovery. “Please don’t criticize me for having worked so hard to save the elder.”
