Episode 152: It’s all your fault.
“What you said was true.”
These were the first words that Ak In-gok-ju uttered to the young man who was entering the main hall.
The evil song writer released the man and obtained information about the situation at the time, and found out that a young man and a masked figure had met at the Hwangha Inn that day. Yang Cheo-gi’s words were true.
“Why would I lie to the owner? I told the truth.”
“Then does that mean that the martial arts of the Sword Masters were truly capable of dealing with demons?”
“That’s right.”
“Even if he is the blood relative of Cheonma, it is unbelievable.”
“I was the same. I really had no idea that Geommugeuk would be such a master.”
Yang Cheo-gi’s expression hardened as if he was remembering the events of that day. Although it seemed like there was no lie, the evil song owner was still suspicious of Yang Cheo-gi.
It is certainly possible that he helped Geommu-geuk kill all of his subordinates. No, that was more likely than Geommu-geuk killing the demon.
What if it was a conspiracy by the Demonic Cult to take control of the Evil Song?
What if he cut off all his own limbs by putting forth a sheep? What if even the Cheonmyeonghoe was created by the Demonic Cult?
It was natural for him to have such doubts, having lost people as strong as himself in one place.
Of course, there were some parts that were questionable in saying that.
‘Until now, the Demonic Cult had no interest in the Evil Song, so why is it suddenly targeting this song?’
The Evil Valley was always a headache for the Murim Alliance. Therefore, there was no reason for the Demonic Cult to attack the Evil Valley. Furthermore, if the Demonic Cult directly operated the Evil Valley, it would face strong protests and opposition from the Murim Alliance and the Sadomae. But why bother creating a problem? Even the evildoers wouldn’t be loyal to them. Why on earth?
Because he lacked faith in the Yangcheogi, the evil song master came up with all sorts of hypotheses. However, one thing was certain. Just looking at the Yangcheogi made him irritated.
‘If you have other sinister intentions, you will never leave the Evil Ones alive.’
It was then that the subordinate came in and reported hurriedly.
“There are intruders. The entire gang at the village entrance has been defeated.”
I felt like the evil song had finally come.
The shepherd next to him quickly asked.
“How many intruders are there in total?”
“They said there are five people.”
The shepherd tilted his head.
“If it’s a group of swordsmen, there would be at most three, right?”
“Why are you so sure there are three? Couldn’t the Sword Dance have brought more Mines?”
“That’s true.”
The evil song writer was secretly puzzled by Yang Cheo-gi’s reaction.
‘Aren’t we really on the same side? Or are you just pretending not to know?’
Judging from the reaction so far, it feels like they weren’t working together.
Then another subordinate came in urgently.
“The Thousand-Ga gang also fell victim to the invaders.”
“already?”
The Cheon Ga gang was a group of people with high martial arts skills and excellent passing skills. But they’ve already been defeated?
Immediately after, another subordinate ran in.
“All the bugs are dead.”
This time, I was even more surprised. The bugs I was talking about here were the Yangsu gang that lived in the forest. They were really difficult to deal with, hiding in the forest and firing off secret weapons.
The gazes of the sheep herder and the evil song master met. The sheep herder nodded and said.
“I’m sure they are.”
If you think about who the two of them, the Black Sword and the Evil Soma, killed, what will happen when the five of them come?
Before the surprise could even subside, the evil song owner asked first as he watched his subordinates rush in again.
“Who got hurt this time?”
“The Yellow Emperor was defeated by the Good and Evil Church.”
“What? The water demons?”
The evil song master was surprised. They may not be stronger than anyone else, but they were stronger than anyone else in the water.
Yes, they can die. But the problem is that the speed at which they are being pierced is too fast. The speed now is like walking briskly and picking flowers on the road.
At that moment, the evil song master saw that the sheep’s eyes were trembling, and that he was afraid.
“If you want to run away, run away now.”
Without him, they would blame everything on him and try to find a way to survive.
“What are you going to do with the rice wine?”
“I can’t leave this place anyway. The moment I run away, it will give those who want my position an excuse to kill me.”
In the situation where all of his trustworthy subordinates were already dead.
Yang Cheo-gi was conflicted. He really never thought that the Black Swordsman would invade here. And he didn’t know that the evil song would be broken through so easily. If you don’t know the way, you’ll be lost for days at the entrance.
But if he runs away from here now, the evil spirit will never accept him again. His feelings for him are already at their worst.
‘If I want to become the evil master of the song, I have to stop the Geommu-geuk gang today. Only then will the evil people here acknowledge me as the master of the song.’
It would be even better if the evil singer died in the process.
While they were having these different dreams, another subordinate came in.
“All the five soldiers of Chungking are dead.”
Now the evil song master was not surprised. If this was not all a prank planned by his subordinates to surprise him, then this was a disaster flying at a terrifying speed.
Hatred for the sheep began to well up in his heart.
‘It’s all your fault.’
If you hadn’t messed with the evil Soma in the first place, saying you wanted revenge, this wouldn’t have happened.
‘I will kill you no matter what.’
The evil songwriter knew very well that holding such a deep grudge against someone would not be good for him in the end.
But I just couldn’t stand the sheep. Even if I regretted this decision, I vowed to kill the sheep.
The evil song master said to his subordinates.

“Tell Seokno to drain their internal energy as much as possible.”
“yes!”
The luggage ran out.
“Seokno is the last bastion. If he breaks through, it will be just you and me.”
“Let’s hope he can drain their power as much as possible.”
If Seokno did his job, maybe things would work out.
* * *
The yard was empty.
I said, looking around.
“Something feels creepy?”
Indeed, my feeling was correct.
The moment we walked across the yard to the building with the main hall.
Ssssssssut.
The surroundings have changed.
Before we knew it, we were standing in a new space, surrounded by hundreds of stone statues. They were statues of warriors holding swords, daggers, and spears.
“It’s an illusion!”
The demons became nervous at my shout. If you don’t know the destruction method, there’s nothing more difficult than this. This is also why the Murim Alliance feared the Demon Lord of the Sub-Soul the most.
“Everyone, be careful.”
At the warning of the Bloodthirsty Horseman, we stood in a circle with our backs to each other.
The statues began to move. They were supposed to be very slow, but they were faster than I thought. It was so strange and scary to see something that should have been slow rushing towards me so quickly.
Bam!
The fight began with the evil Soma’s magic explosion destroying the stone statue that was rushing towards him.
The stone statue was cut by Ilhwageomjon’s sword energy. In order to save internal energy, he could not strike the stone block with his sword. Since it was such a famous sword, he could deal with a few stone statues that way, but if he fought this many stone statues, the sword would be damaged. So Ilhwageomjon had no choice but to use his sword energy.
Blood Heavenly Sword was in a similar situation. It was better than a sword because it was a great sword, but he still couldn’t break the stone statues with this precious great sword. In the end, he also used swords and wind to break the stone statues.
The same was true for the evil soma. Since the stone statues moved with holes in them, I had to use the Demonic Light Explosion, which consumed more internal energy, to destroy them.
Since the drunken horses couldn’t be beaten with blood, they had to use long-distance tactics to deal with them.
They were truly opponents that consumed a tremendous amount of internal energy, and they kept swarming me.
Since I couldn’t just waste my energy like this, I avoided the statues’ attacks and looked around. With my eyes filled with blood and eyes trained with the divine eye technique, I could clearly see the destruction method.
But nowhere in this space was there any sign of the bluish light indicating the destruction method.
‘There is, there definitely is.’
Because there has never been an illusion without a method of destruction.
I quickly moved between the statues using the Shadow and Flash abilities, and began to search for a method of destruction.
At one point, while I was wandering among the stone statues.
‘found!’
There was a bluish glow on the back of the stone statue.
It was truly an illusion that hid the destruction method well, as it was among hundreds of stone statues that were attacking.
Jeeeeeeek!
Without hesitation, I tore through the bluish light with my black magic sword, splitting it in half.
Beyond the light, an old man stood there, astonished and surprised.
Phew!
The moment my sword plunged into the old man’s heart, the illusion he had cast was broken.
We were standing in the yard where we had entered earlier after being released from the illusion. When they saw the old man fall down after being stabbed by my sword, the demons realized that I had found a way to break the illusion.
Chwima was excited and said that his younger brother was the best, and Ilhwageomjon looked very surprised.
On the other hand, Blood Heavenly Demon wasn’t that surprised because he knew that I killed the Demon Lord.
Finally, the evil Soma looked at me and smiled meaningfully.
“Lee Gongja has reached the realm of invincibility.”
There were other demons, so I didn’t mention the Sub-Hon Demon Lord, but if there were only two of them, I would have said this. Shameless Duke, are you still going to say that you didn’t kill the Sub-Hon Demon Lord?
I walked briskly to the building.
“Okay, let’s go in.”
He broke down the door to the main hall and went inside with the demons.
* * *
Kwaaang!
As he watched those who came in, breaking down the door of the main hall, the evil song leader thought that a heavenly demon was coming.
If not, how could Seok-no’s illusion be broken so quickly? Even he himself would have to endure until Seok-no’s internal energy was depleted in order to escape Seok-no’s illusion.
But the one who came in wasn’t Cheonma. As if Yang Cheogi’s words were true, the young man Geommu-geuk walked in first.
Geommugeuk said while looking at the sheep.
“In the current situation, the only place you can safely hide is the Cheonmasin Church. Oh, that won’t work. You messed with us.”
The shepherd didn’t answer.
The gaze of the swordsman turned towards the evil musician.
“Are you a villain?”
“Yes, I am the evil one.”
“I am the swordsman of the Cheonmasingyo sect, Lee Gongja.”
“I have heard of your reputation.”
The evil song master tried hard to act calm, but he was starting to feel uneasy as the god of death walked towards him step by step.
The gaze of the evil song master turned to the four demons standing behind the sword dance.
“The precious people of the new religion have come. Welcome.”
As if he were treating invited guests, the evil song master greeted them with a sly smile and a round of applause.
But your Mazone just stared at him coldly.
The evil song master spoke softly to Geommugeuk again.
“Did the lunatics in this song do a great disservice to the scholar?”
“You tried to suck my energy and break my skull with a chain. If that’s considered rude, then I guess I should be rude today.”
“You are the one who will become the best in the martial arts world in the future. Don’t act like those pathetic people in this song.”
The evil song writer tried his best to look good to Geommugeuk.
With the sword dance and the demons standing in a single line before my eyes, I didn’t even have the will to fight. Even if the dead demons, iron chains, blood rogues, blood wolves, paradise fairy, and hell god were all here, it would be impossible for Yang Cheo-gi and I to fight the five in front of us right now.
Geommugeuk looked at the evil song master and asked.
“Why did you do that?”
Then, the evil song master looked at Yang Cheo-gi as if it was not his intention at all and asked the same question.
“Why did you do that?”
The shepherd looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.
“What do you want to do now?”
“It was your doing, so you should explain it.”
The villain’s struggle to survive began with distancing himself from the Yangcheogi.
When the group of swordsmen came in, Yang Cheo-gi’s reaction was clearly that he was not in league with them. So, the evil song master had only one option. He had to abandon Yang Cheo-gi. They had come to kill Yang Cheo-gi.
The shepherd snorted.
“Do you think the authors will let you live with such tricks?”
Geommugeuk answered Yangcheogi’s words.
“I will spare you. I know that this incident was entirely the work of that old lady. If you, Gokju, will cooperate in capturing Cheonmyeonghoeju, I will not harm you.”
The evil song’s heart fluttered with the hope that he could live.
‘These guys really weren’t on the same side!’
When the evil spirits saw the song, the sheep herdsman shouted.
“Don’t believe it! This is a trick to divide us!”
In contrast to the urgent Yang Cheo Ki, Geommu Geuk was calm.
“Why would you split them up when you can kill both of them? Four of the Palmazones from our school have come here in person. Do you think this is a joke?”
The evil composer did not hesitate.
“I’ll help you. I know a clue that can help you find the Thousand-Minded Mansion!”
They said they’d spare my life if I cooperated, so what room for hesitation is there?
Yang Cheo-gi’s heart sank coldly when he realized that his mind had already changed.
The moment the evil song master turned around, he realized that he would never be able to leave this place alive.
“You pathetic, foolish idiot! That’s why you can’t escape this dirty place!”
“Shut up! This is all your fault. I don’t want to hear any excuses. Just go back to hell!”
The idiot let out a cold sigh as he spat out the words. Even if he had revealed information about the Cheonmyeonghoeju, it would have been difficult for him to survive because of what he had done to kill Geommu-geuk and the evil Soma.
‘I guess I’ll end up using this.’
Yang Cheo-gi raised his internal energy for the final secret technique that he had never used before, or rather, could never use.
Seeing the red aura in his eyes, the evil Soma warned.
“Everyone, be careful! This is the forbidden secret technique of the main text, Donggwi Eojin Technique!”
As the evil soma had said, the martial art that Yang Cheo-gi was going to use was the Cheongwangjeoksal (天光卽殺術), a double-crossing technique that would kill both the opponent and himself. It was the final secret technique that would kill only one person and then die together.
“If your internal energy is lower than the author’s, you will never be able to stop him!”
The gaze of Yang Cheo-gi, who never missed a beat when it came to internal energy, was directed at each and every person here.
Who will you kill and die for? The mastermind behind this incident, the evil Soma? The Bloodthirsty Doma who showed up late that day and ruined things? The Swordmaster who prevented the revenge from being carried out in the first place? Or that idiot Gokju?
I really wanted to take all four of them if I could, but the Thousand Light Killing Technique could only be used on one person.
The sheep’s eyes turned red as if they would burst at any moment and he shouted loudly.
“Who will go with me?”
That moment when heavy silence flowed!
Geommugeuk raised his hand.
“Me!”
