Episode 329 I’m worried about my wrist because there is no such thing as poisonous weed.
If the purpose wasn’t to revive the Blood Cult, then what was it for?
Sobakta was curious about that.
“Why did he try to get me to do this?”
Not only So Baek-ta, but also Pungcheon-gyoju and Ma-bul had expressions of incomprehension. Their eyes were focused on Jayeon Geommu-geuk.
“Why are you looking at me?”
“Aren’t you our little sect leader who knows all the secrets of all things?”
However, it was just a joke by the leader of the Pungcheon sect, who thought that he would know this, but Geommugeuk saw through it.
“I have a guess.”
He said it was just a guess, but he was actually certain of something.
“It’s because of Shin Woong-cheol-bang.”
While everyone was looking puzzled, So Baek-ta spoke to Geommu-geuk.
“That’s where the school secretly prepares weapons.”
“I know. I’ve already been there with your master. I’ve also discovered that there’s a large workshop underground.”
So Baek-ta’s face turned red. Shin Woong-cheol-bang was also a decisive part of the shameful past.
“It seems that he tried to raise Shinwoongcheolbang to be the best cheolbang in the world through war.”
It was a speculation based on the fact that Shin Woong-cheol-bang actually became Jungwon Jeilcheol-bang before his return.
“The war probably lasted for quite some time. Shin Woong-cheol-bang must have secretly sold weapons to the forces opposing Pungcheon-gyo.”
Because nothing brought as much wealth to the Iron Fist as a long war.
“You can investigate later. If Shin Woong-cheol-bang has made contact with other forces outside of Sae-oe, then my guess will be true.”
So Baek-ta had a feeling that what he said was true. The King of Hwan had been emphasizing thorough preparations for war through Shinungcheolbang the entire time he was trying to instill confidence in him, and had said that he had to be prepared for a long war. In the end, he had been thoroughly used by the man.
“I’m telling you this because we’re talking about Shin Woong-cheol-bang, but there’s one thing left to confirm.”
The leader of the Pungcheon Church guessed what Geommugeuk was trying to confirm and sent a message.
-I’ll do it myself.
The leader of the Pungcheon Church looked into So Baek-ta’s eyes and asked calmly.
“What happened to Elder Sung?”
At first, the leader of the Fengchun cult was skeptical, but now he believed that Sobaekta had not killed him. During this hostage crisis, the leader of the Fengchun cult was able to recall why he had chosen Sobaekta.
So I was sure. Even though he had been deluded by the King of Hwan and had had vain dreams, at least he was not the kind of person who would do something like that.
“What are you talking about? Is there something wrong with Elder Sung?”
“He is currently missing.”
Just by looking at Sobakta’s reaction, you could tell that he didn’t kill Elder Seong.
“No way! Is that his doing it?”
Geommu-geuk was more relieved than the leader of the Fengchun sect. If So Baek-ta had killed him, the leader of the Fengchun sect would not have been able to forgive his disciple.
And no matter what punishment was given to the disciple, the leader of the Pungcheon sect would have suffered an irreparable emotional wound.
Sobakta reproached himself with a gloomy face.
“Ah! If something happened to Elder Sung, it was because of me. If he hadn’t gotten involved in the first place, Elder Sung wouldn’t have left the church. I didn’t even know Elder Sung was missing.”
The leader of the Pungcheon sect comforted his disciple.
“Don’t blame yourself too much, since life and death haven’t been determined yet.”
The four people came out of the King’s residence like that.
As they were about to head to the main temple, a man came and handed them a message. It was a message from Go-wol. The person who decorated the end of this incident was Go-wol.
“The high military has found out where Elder Sung is.”
At those words, not only the leader of Pungcheon Church, but also So Baek-ta was surprised.
“Is that person alive?”
“Yes, he is alive.”
“Where are you?”
The same place was mentioned again in Geommugeuk’s mouth.
“This is Shin Woong-cheol-bang.”
* * *
The leader of the Pungcheon sect, So Baek-ta, and the other Pungcheon sect masters swept away Shin Woong-cheol-bang and safely rescued Elder Seong, who was trapped underground.
In the process, all the masters related to King Huan lost their lives.
Those who worked without knowing anything were not killed, but were all scattered. Just as King Hwan disappeared, Shin Woong Cheol Bang also disappeared from the martial arts world.
While the leader of the Pungcheon sect and So Baek-ta were reunited with Elder Seong, I was wandering around the nameless mountains of Sae-oe with Ma-bul in search of poisonous plants. Now, the Pungcheon sect’s affairs were theirs to resolve.
The medicinal herbs growing in the new world were different from those in the Central Plains.
Even if it wasn’t what he was looking for, Mabul would look at new herbs carefully. Just like the Poison King had organized them, he would draw herbs on paper and write down their characteristics.
I thought that he really liked this job, but on the other hand, I thought that he might have become obsessed with collecting herbs to protect himself because he felt that he couldn’t stand it if he didn’t devote himself to something. I don’t know what he’s thinking.
“Is this by any chance this herb?”
Mabul came to check on me after I shouted.
“It’s the same. I finally found it! Your Majesty, just wait! I’ll go back with the herbs I found! Not with the demon lord, but with the herbs I found!”
Since Mabul had memorized all the herbs in the picture, I was the one who compared them with the paper. Mabul compared the poisonous herbs in the paper I was holding with the poisonous herbs I had found.
“It looks similar, but this is not it.”
“Jealousy, interference, it doesn’t work. Stay away from the poisonous weed!”
“It should have five mouths, but this one has six? Look here. Didn’t it say so? It’s said that six-leafed ones are common.”
“Even this commonly found thing is hard to find! Isn’t it so hard to find? It’s been an hour already and I haven’t found a single one.”
“If it was that easy to find, I wouldn’t have asked.”
“Oh my, my back.”
Mabul bent down again and examined the grass as he spoke.
“What a joke. That back was fine even after being beaten with the Iron Blood Slash Technique.”
“Is a working waist and a fighting waist the same? I can’t find it anymore! I can’t!”

The sword dance was lying on the rock.
“It’s a good thing for adults to do their work.”
“It’s nice to look up at the sky from here. Let’s lie down for a while.”
The clouds passing by were peaceful. This brief moment of rest felt so precious. Of course, I couldn’t rest alone while Mabul was working.
He jumped up and placed papers with poisonous plants drawn on them around him.
“I’ve never seen anything like this in my entire life. This is the Poison King trying to trick us! I bet my wrists are on the line because there’s no such thing as poisonous plants.”
At that moment, as if it were a lie, Ma-Bul flashed the poisonous plant.
“Found it!”
When comparing the poisonous plant that Mabul brought with the one depicted in the painting, they were identical.
“It really happened.”
“Which wrist is it?”
“I will have to make a bet with Ma-bul-nim after I become indestructible.”
Mabul placed the poisonous plant on the rock and ran to dig it up again.
“I bought one, so take a break and buy it!”
Mabul pretended not to hear what I said and looked around diligently.
I sat on the rock and watched him silently as he dug up herbs. Now that I think about it, Mabul was always busy with his short legs. Whether it was when he was trying to make his brother his successor or now that he was digging up poisonous herbs. He was a naturally diligent person.
“Found it again!”
Mabul dug up another poisonous plant. It was also the poisonous plant on paper.
“You planned it, right? You hid the poison here in the first place, didn’t you? You planned it with the intention of hitting my wrist!”
I was really amazed at how they were so good at finding poisonous plants.
“Isn’t that why the Poison King asked me to do this?”
This time, he stopped me from going out to find her again and forced me to rest.
Ma-bul pretended to be defeated and shook off the dirt on his hands before sitting on a rock to rest for a while.
“It was really helpful that you came with us this time.”
“I was just acting as a screen.”
“It was the screen that protected our lives.”
After a moment, Ma-Bul asked.
“Look here, Young Master.”
“yes.”
“Who are behind this incident?”
When Mabul spoke to Sobakta earlier, he heard that the sect had heard that the grandson of the leader of the Murim Alliance had been attacked by the Demon Lord.
“There is some kind of organization that is trying to take root in the major organizations of the martial arts world. We don’t know what kind of organization it is yet.”
“Does the leader know too?”
Go-wol was sharing all the information with Tongcheon-gak. Naturally, he knew that some kind of organization was active.
“The General knows, so I’m sure my father knows too.”
Then Mabul nodded with a relaxed expression. This must be the belief of the demons in their father.
“They are the ones who brought in the true successor of the Blood Cult illusion technique. Be careful in the future.”
“Are you worried about me?”
“If you guard your school well, won’t I be able to live this kind of life?”
After a short break, he shouted at Mabul, who was out looking for poisonous plants again.
“Please let me find just one root! Then I can go and shout loudly! Please!”
Mabul pretended not to hear and went deeper, bending down.

When I returned from digging for poison, Sobakta was waiting for the sword dance performance at the Gyojujeon.
“I have come to you because I have something to tell you, Young Master.”
When he returned safely to the elder, he had a bright expression. When I compared him to when I first met him, he felt so different that I could almost say he was a different person. This must be his true self.
Sobakta slowly looked around the temple.
“I felt that the Master was taken aback when he first saw this place. He must have been surprised because I had completely rebuilt this place. In fact, I had intended to do that. That was when I hated the Master so much. But I still have no intention of changing this cult leader story. The old cult leader story, to be honest, was very old-fashioned.”
He properly accepted his master’s admonition to live for himself.
“I plan to work hard and live here.”
“I believe that the leader will do well.”
“Thank you so much for helping me this time. I will definitely repay your kindness next time I get the chance.”
“I did it for your master. You don’t need to thank me.”
“That makes me even more grateful.”
It wasn’t just Geommugeuk who got closer to the leader of the Pungcheon cult through this incident.
“In that sense, I would like to give a gift to the young cult leader.”
When Sobakta manipulated the Taesaui, the walls on all sides rose and divine beings appeared.
“Choose one of the sacred items from our school.”
“Are you serious?”
“exactly.”
How could the new water be a big deal? It saved my life and even restored my relationship with my master.
However, the Geommugeuk thought that this new water from Sobaekta was unexpected.
“Can I really choose?”
“Of course. But not the thunder bell.”
“I know that much. But does Master know?”
“Why? Do I need to get permission from my master?”
“No, that’s not true. Don’t regret it. I’m not the type of person to turn down a gift.”
“Choose what you want before I change my mind.”
Geommu-geuk looked around the new water. First, he went to the Yin-Raizong and greeted the evil spirits.
‘I’m leaving soon, so I won’t be able to see you guys anymore.’
Just like the demons of the Nine-Handed Demon Sect, the demons of the Sound Dragon Sect now felt like friends.
‘I’ll come back with Gowol next time.’
Geommugeuk looked at the new objects one by one. In fact, they were all new objects that he had seen before when he received the Blood God Corps or the Extreme Heavenly Swordsman from the Pungcheon Sect Leader.
If I had to choose from other divine items, the first thing that caught my eye would be the Blood Dragon God Robe, a protective robe that wraps around you like a wind jacket and has the effect of making you immune to swords. If not, there is also the Fire Burning Elixir, which is less effective than the Blood God Dan but can greatly increase your internal energy.
Geommugeuk walked slowly and looked around the new water once more.
As I walked around the wall of the main shrine, I felt a slight vibration in my chest.
yes!
Surprisingly, the watch I had placed in my arms vibrated slightly. This was the first time it had reacted like this since I had received it.
The sword dance could tell. The scepter had reacted to the new object in front of it. To check exactly, he moved away for a bit and then came back. This time, too, it vibrated slightly in front of the new object.
The new substance that the watch reacted to was a black iron ball slightly smaller than a fist.
“What kind of divine water is this?”
“It’s called Heukjeong (black eyes) because it looks like black pupils.”
“What do you use it for?”
“I don’t know. It’s something that has been passed down in our school for a long time.”
I had seen it before, but I just passed it by.
Only when the two objects were close together could one tell that they were related.
What if this black magic could unlock the secrets of the secret path?
Then it was understandable why the secret had not been revealed until now. Among the previous leaders of the Heavenly Demon Sect, there must have been no one who had come near Heukjeong with a secret weapon.
My heart was pounding with anticipation that I might be able to unlock the secrets of the secret path.
“I’ll choose this.”
“Are you sure that’s okay? The previous leaders did a lot of research on it, but they concluded that it was nothing more than a metal ball.”
“But it was still in the new water position, wasn’t it? That’s why it seems like a more amazing guy.”
“I didn’t know you would interpret it that way.”
“I’ll do this.”
Geommugeuk took the black sword in his hand. Then, as if confirming that this was right, the iron rail in his arms vibrated once more.
“Thank you for your precious gift.”
Geommu-geuk accepted this as fate. He got the iron rail, he got to see Sae-oe, and he also got a gift from him. If he hadn’t saved him, he wouldn’t have gotten Heuk-jeong.
At that time, the leader of the Pungcheon sect entered the place.
“What is that?”
Geommugeuk quickly put Heukjeong in his arms.
“No way? You didn’t steal the holy water from my disciple, did you?”
“I didn’t open it, the cult leader gave it to me as a gift.”
“Whoever wants it!”
“Aside from the leader who stepped down, the current leader here can do whatever he wants!”
Geommugeuk said as he quickly flew away.
“From now on, when you curse at me, this will be included!”
As expected, the leader of the Pungcheon sect immediately shouted.
“Stop! You shameless cult leader who eats up all the priests’ livers!”
Of course, Geommugeuk went out to the religious battle without looking back.
The expression on the face of the leader of the Pungcheon sect, who had been raising his voice with his disciple, softened.
“Thank you for listening to my request.”
