Episode 29
I guess you’re scared
“Eww!”
The white bone man screamed and tore the letter he was holding in his hand.
The disciples behaved sensibly so as not to get on his bad side. Even the noisy classmates became quiet.
But even so, his already welling up anger showed no signs of calming down.
Urgent messages calling for help were now coming from beyond Sichuan Province, as well as Gansu and Qinghai Provinces.
Is it because it is a strange bird that can easily fly thousands of miles in a day if it sets its mind to it?
The secret ranch that the Black Bone Cult had prepared in secret to avoid the attention of the past cult leader was now being destroyed, as well as the Bunta.
The guy was getting stronger at a rapid pace with each passing day.
Perhaps it was because he had completely awakened as a demon by eating all the students.
In the past, when I met the masters of Guigok, I would at least pretend to avoid them, but now I was ignoring them and breaking their heads.
Because of that, a warning was issued from the main temple in Cheonsan.
-How on earth are you handling things!
The torn letter in his hand a moment ago was the one sent by Gokju.
“What the heck! What the heck did you do to be able to evolve Gojo into the main character…? What kind of guys are there!”
Given the circumstances, it was clear that the masterminds behind this were the people behind Dang Yun-hui.
The problem was that we didn’t know anything about them.
It is clear that this is a great force led by Yong-i, leaving no traces.
Although I would have liked to take action right away and grab Yun-Hwi by the scruff of the neck, it was difficult to move rashly now that the date of the event was approaching.
In the end, it means that we have no choice but to sit back and watch as the damage continues.
Although the owner of the restaurant informed them that he would take care of it, Baekgolmangsa thought that even that would not be easy.
And perhaps the blame will all fall on him.
“What on earth is going on?”
Namgung Sanyoung, who had been looking at the skeleton net, now had an anxious expression on his face.
Wasn’t Baekgolmangsa always confident no matter what happened?
But for the first time, he shows signs of agitation.
For her, who had to kill Yun-Hwi somehow, every day was filled with anxiety.
“If you took that much money, shouldn’t you have done something right!? You couldn’t even catch that little kid and kill him, so you’re making things worse… … Ugh!”
Namgung Sanyoung’s criticism did not last long.
Suddenly, the white hand of the skeleton grabbed her collar.
“shut up.”
“You… are you okay even after doing this… …!”
“You see those students outside? If I tear you to pieces and feed you to them, won’t anyone know you’re here?”
“!!”
“So you’d better shut up. Before I tear your tongue out.”
“… … .”
When have you ever experienced such humiliation?
Namgung Sanyoung’s eyes shook violently.
The evil aura emanating from the White Bone Net was suffocating her.
‘Magi!!’
But what made her more anxious than the sense of impending suffocation was another kind of energy hidden within the ghost.
Namgung Sanyoung had only known Baekgolmangsa as a skilled shaman despite his strange appearance, and had never guessed that he was a member of the Demonic Cult.
That’s understandable, because the person who introduced Baekgolmangsa was none other than her parents’ family, Namgung Se-ga!
‘Then… Namgung Se-ga joined hands with the Demonic Cult-‘
It was the moment when her thoughts were about to disappear into her blank consciousness.
widely!
Baekgolmangsa let go of the hand that was holding Namgung Sanyoung.
“Ugh, ugh-”
Namgung Sanyoung looked at Baekgolmangsa with fearful eyes, barely able to catch his breath.
Demonic religion!
Seeing the strongest being in the Sae-oe clan, the supreme being of the Sa-pa clan, and the fear of the Central Plains martial arts world for a long time right before my eyes made my stomach churn.
As a person from the Central Plains, I had a duty to somehow inform those around me that the Mines, who had been trapped in Cheonsan for the past six years, were trying to emerge from their lair again.
As I looked back on my past life, which had served as their bridgehead, I was afraid of the public criticism that would come back to me later.
Above all, it was clear that this would block the future of their children for a long time.
Even though Dang Gyu-jin declared his separation, she was his own daughter.
Even though Dang Yoo-chang had been broken once, he still had a long way to go.
This fact had to be kept secret no matter what. Absolutely!
“Your face has finally become a bit more docile. This is why I say that you have to use a whip to control the beasts of the Central Plains.”
A strange light flowed from the Baekgolmangsa’s eyes.
“Hey, Lord Money.”
“…Why are you doing that?”
“We’ve been getting along pretty well so far, haven’t we?”
“… … .”
“But I think we need to try it again. What do you think?”
“What are you talking about-”
“The second one.”
“!”

“Did you say Dang Yun-hui? Ha! Looking at it this way, your name is exactly the same as that author! What bad luck! Anyway, you want to tear that guy to pieces too, don’t you?”
Namgung Sanyoung bit her lips tightly. Her hands holding the hem of her skirt also became tense.
“But now I have to tear that guy apart, right? That’s why I want to say, ‘Let’s get along again.’”
Namgung Sanyoung was trembling with fear, but his mind was spinning quickly.
‘Based on how things have gone so far, it’s clear that Un-Hwi, that bastard’s mastermind, is much bigger than I expected. Just looking at the fact that the assassin sent by this Mine failed, that’s also true.’
What Namgung Sanyoung feared the most at the moment was the fact that Unhwi’s mastermind would find out their true identities.
If he did that, his political life would be over.
Even if you don’t figure it out right away, if you keep investigating you’ll find out soon enough.
So before that, we had to completely erase the operation and background as they said.
‘I’m already a symbol. Since it’s clear that my parents have joined hands with the Demonic Cult, I have to get on board and run until the end.’
If I don’t get the position of head of the household after the position of head of the household, my life will end in failure.
Namgung Sanyoung’s two eyes sparkled with a strange madness.
“… How can I get along well?”
The corners of Baekgolmangsa’s lips twisted.
This is it.
Now that he had joined the devil’s hand, Namgung Sanyoung had nowhere to return.
“that-“
The white bone net slowly began to move.
* * *
When I returned after commissioning the production of the sword fan, Dang Gyu-jin was waiting for me.
“What’s the matter, Sister?”
“I have something to ask you.”
Dang Gyu-jin’s face was filled with deep fatigue and depth.
But there was a ghostly aura hidden there that flashed even sharper than that.
The mask is gradually being revealed.
“Your face is so serious, you look like someone going to war.”
“It seems that the power of the Heaven and Earth Diary is in disarray, so I think he must be very angry.”
What could have made this kind woman so angry?
When I nodded as if telling him to speak quickly, Dang Gyu-jin slowly opened his mouth.
“How much do you remember from your childhood?”
childhood?
It was a bit of a tricky question.
So, I have no choice but to surround it with something.
“It hardly ever comes out.”
“… If it’s because it’s painful to remember.”
“What does the past matter?”
Dang Gyu-jin’s eyes widened slightly.
“I just need to do well from now on. The future is much more important to me.”
“!!”
Dang Gyu-jin’s eyes widened slightly. His pupils shook.
Then she nodded heavily as if she had made up her mind about something and got up from her seat.
Iron Man!
The sword hanging from his waist shook.
The Cheonggang Sword (淸鋼劍) that only the best swordsmen representing the Cheongseong faction can possess.
She is now standing here as a prosecutor of Cheongseongpa, not as a member of the Sacheondang family.
“… That’s right. Okay. Thanks.”
Dang Gyu-jin laughed brightly.
“I have something to do, so I’ll be out of here for a bit. If anyone asks, just tell them so. I’ll be back before the master arrives.”
Dang Gyu-jin disappeared quietly without listening to my answer.
“I think there was something I wanted to say to the young cult leader. What was it?”
“well.”
I quietly looked in the direction where Dang Gyu-jin disappeared.
I guess you were worried about something related to the conflict that arose between me and Namgung Sanyoung?
It felt like there was something.
‘You, follow me quietly.’
“I will follow your orders!!”
The ghost took possession of a sparrow that happened to be sitting on a nearby tree and flew up powerfully.
Please don’t let anything happen to you.
With that thought, I turned my body the other way.
* * *
It seemed like there were a lot of customers today.
In the Baeksangjeon, Hyeongsam was trembling in the yard.
“Oh, Confucius, it’s inside-”
“An uninvited guest has arrived.”
When I turned my senses inward to wonder what was going on, I sensed a familiar atmosphere.
“I, I! Huan-muchin! How safe is this place-“
“You sent an assassin and it didn’t work out well, so you must have come here on a tightrope?”
“Well, if rumors spread that you’re a member of the political faction and have joined hands with the sorcerers of Heukgolgok, wouldn’t your life soon be ruined? It seems like you came here to test the cult leader.”
‘I think so too.’
A laugh came out on its own.
Isn’t this blatant proof that you are the mastermind behind the assassins?
“Stop running around like a dirty dog and bring me a cup of tea. Just one cup. Not two.”
Why would you waste a drink on someone who is about to go to the afterlife?
“… Are you okay?”
“What if it’s not okay?”
“Oh, no!”
I left Hyung-sam behind and went into the hall, running towards the kitchen naked.
As expected, Namgung Sanyoung was waiting inside.
As if he was looking around my room, he carefully inspected everything.
“As you can see, there is nothing to take?”
“I thought it would stink a little after a teenage boy was locked up in there for two months, but it looks like they’ve been ventilating pretty well.”
“Unlike others, I don’t hold back.”
Namgung Sanyoung frowned and glared at me as if he was displeased, but I snorted instead.
So what?
What are you going to do if you stare at me like that?
Namgung Sanyoung and I had a staring contest for a while before he sat down. No, he tried to sit down.
“Sit here. Let’s talk- Gyaaaaak!”
Namgung Sanyoung ended up comically rolling on the floor because the chair she was trying to sit on suddenly got pushed back.
Poltergeist phenomenon.
I had the ghost move the chair secretly.
‘good job.’
“If it is the order of the cult leader, I can go into the shit pit with a smile! I would be grateful if Soma would just remember my three-letter name-“
“Next time, let me do it! Let me do it!!”
The competition among the ghosts for loyalty since the birth of the Lord has been truly tearful.
“you!!”
“Oh. You told me to sit up straight and look straight?”
Namgung Sanyoung jumped up and started swearing at me, but he couldn’t get any angrier because he couldn’t find any evidence that I had done that.
“Whew! Seriously. How come you’ve been so sullen since two months ago! I didn’t teach you to be like that. First, sit down. I have something to discuss-”
Squeak!
“Hey! You again-”
“I was really just sitting here? Didn’t you see?”
Squeak!
“… Please do something about this-”
Squeak!
“Ahhhhhhh! This damn chair is for real!!”
Namgung Sanyoung failed every time he tried to sit on a chair.
The chair kept moving, so he eventually tried to sit down by pushing down on it with force, but as expected, the chair refused to let Namgung Sanyoung sit on it.
It’s the same even if you change to a different chair.
In the end, Namgung Sanyoung kicked the leg of the poor chair while shouting.
Looking at that sight, it felt like watching a Peking opera.
“Oh. That’s too bad. There were so many things I wanted to talk about with my mother. I guess the chair is possessed by a ghost.”
“That woman doesn’t seem to know that once the leader of the sect harbors a grudge, he becomes angry even over the smallest things.”
“Oh my, tsk tsk! Interfering with every little thing like that and driving people dry is the specialty of the cult leader. It’s useless to get angry over that. He’s just getting started.”
Namgung Sanyoung glared at me, trembling, and then barely managed to suppress his anger before opening his mouth.
“Good. I don’t know what trick you’re using, but it seems like you don’t want to talk to me in detail, so I’ll keep it short and leave.”
I nodded with a sly smile, as if to say that I would listen carefully and choose carefully.
Brrrr!
I could see her hands gripping the back of the chair with great strength.
After all, there’s nothing more fun than scratching at someone’s insides, right? Hehe.
“Let’s stop this pointless emotional waste.”
Namgung Sanyoung’s two eyes sank deeply.
“As you know, the position of the next head of the Guryong branch family will never go to you. Gyu-jin is considered one of the best talents in Cheongseongpa, and even though Yoo-chang lost to you in a duel, he still has Namgung’s family as his maternal family. If Namgung takes off his shoes and steps forward, no matter how much you fly and how far you go, people won’t pay attention to you. So-”
“Do you want me to just give up and step back?”
“Yes. If there is anything you need to be independent, tell me. I will support you in every way, both materially and spiritually. If you tell me to bow my head, I will bow my head. If you tell me to kneel, I will kneel. So please-”
If you just look at these words, it seems like Namgung Sanyoung is actually expressing his intention to surrender to me.
It is an emotional appeal to ask that the future of the children not be blocked.
The old ‘Dangunhwi’ would have been a great success.
But it was clear to my eyes.
Her sinister intentions.
“How dare you have a battle of wits with the young sect leader. You idiot-“
More than anything, I couldn’t forget the bitter look on Dang Gyu-jin’s face at the end.
Eventually, I couldn’t hold back my laughter any longer.
Fit.
A sly smile escaped between my lips.
It was a joke.
“I was wondering what kind of nonsense you were going to say, but you really are talking like this?”
“!?”
Namgung Sanyoung was startled and raised his head.
“you-“
“I guess you’re afraid that the news of your joining hands with the demonic cult will reach the Lord’s ears?”
“!!!”
It seems like he’s going to join hands with Baekgolmangsa to make me let my guard down and then stab me in the back.
Who cares?
