Episode 48
Do Seong-hyeon’s night sky
A middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the lottery ticket.
“You are a master of the Tang family! I apologize for not being able to recognize you sooner! I would like to offer my apologies on behalf of the Lion Family!”
He appeared to be the leader of the gang.
It was only later that I realized that he was a Dang Ga-in after seeing the secret technique I had used.
No matter how much the Lion’s Gate was the ruler of Guizhou’s martial arts world, how much the Cheonghwasanjang was the sword master’s school, and how much the Amipa was the holy land of Buddhism and boasted a long history, in the end, they could not help but lose their luster under the name of the Sacheondangga.
Chodoyang also came to his senses belatedly and bowed his head.
“Forgive me-”
“Just answer the question I’m asking. Do you still intend to block my way?”
“Oh, how could you, how could you, how could you commit such rudeness!?”
Chodoyang’s head sank deeper.
“Instead, if you could teach me the name of the Lord-”
Cho Do-yang’s words did not last long.
Whirlyrick!
Because before that, I had already disappeared.
“What, what the-”
Chodoyang muttered with a still blank expression on his face.
A heavy silence fell.
I feel like I’ve been possessed by a goblin.
The corpses that had fallen to their deaths in a horrible manner seemed to tell of the hell that had just unfolded.
* * *
“This is it!!”
As soon as I entered the market, I started to walk quickly.
I ended up wasting my time because of those guys who were like lion king or something.
I had to move faster.
First, he used sorcery to erase all the flesh and blood that had defiled his body, and he tried to eliminate his presence as much as possible to avoid being recognized by people.
One by one, the presence of those presumed to be believers began to be detected.
But it seemed like time would be running out if I tried to run there right away.
It seemed like I would have to work my way back, taking out the pursuers one by one.
Like salmon swimming upstream.
slowly.
But for sure.
“How much is this?”
“It’s five nyang, Your Majesty.”
I bought a mask from a stand I saw on the way.
A red lion mask boasting a fairly large size.
The mane was so long that it covered his shoulders.
This should be enough to cover your face.
Swish!
I stepped onto the dark path and slowly melted into the bustle of the crowd and the silence of the night, entering an alleyway where there were no people.
He put a lion mask on his face, tied it behind his back to keep it from falling off, and pulled out an evil spirit’s cloak and wrapped it around his body.
As purple tears flowed out from the corners of his eyes, he looked like a lion ghost.
Kkaaa!
At the same time, a sinister and ominous wind flows out.
“A demon wearing a black mask… …!”
“It seems like you’ve returned to your old cult leader.”
Before I knew it, the ghosts that had come near me all had faces filled with fear.
In their eyes, it would appear as the reincarnation of ‘Yeonunhwi’, who had covered the new religion with the shadow of death.
Thump thump thump thump!
As the evil spirits’ sword and dantian resonate, the internal energy and magical power gradually expand in size.
Phew!
I lightly kicked the ground and jumped about 10 feet (about 30 meters) high using the technique of a flying kick.
But I didn’t hear any sound, let alone any movement.
It was thanks to the addition of Eunhyeongsul, one of the sorcery techniques, to the Dark Spirit.
Now the market street, completely covered in darkness, lay beneath my feet.
The purple eyes inside the lion’s mask headed towards one place.
“This is it! This is it!”
Where the nearest ghost is.
There was a detective flying at high speed over the roof.
The Angmasinhwajong passing by the market… I didn’t like the way it looked at my followers as if they were prey.
―Right now, at this moment, the prey is not my people over there, but you, the traitors. Where do you dare to make such a face?
Swish!
I quickly drew a parabolic arc and fell behind the guy.
The guy who was getting up from his seat to chase the believers again fell to the ground before he could even realize I was approaching.
Squeak-
Phew!
He crushed its head by stomping on it, then used his true fire technique to burn its entire body and move to where the next ghost was.

Right today.
The night sky here would be mine alone.

‘Hoohoohoo! So now I can finally become a spirit inspector!!’
Inspector Gwi-Jun smiled as he watched the apostate’s running speed slowing down.
It has been five days since the order was given to capture the believers of the Angmasinhwa sect, who were expelled from the Shinkyo due to the civil war, who appeared in Dosunghyeon.
They were really persistent, way too persistent.
It was as if he was trying to show how he had survived the fierce pursuit of the new religion, as if he had been on the verge of being caught but had not been caught yet.
It’s the same now.
The three apostates scattered in different directions, each trying to shake off their pursuers.
And then he kept disappearing, and I had to waste my time wandering around this narrow street all day.
But that was over now.
After a long chase, he finally lost all his stamina and was caught.
『The target has climbed over the right fence. The owl, move to the left at the second intersection, and the owl, move to the roof of the third thatched house. We will pounce on them right there.』
Then, as soon as he confirmed that the apostate he had been targeting had finally moved to the desired location, he sent out a signal.
The followers of the Angmasinhwajong are those who boast absolute loyalty to the Heavenly Demon and the deceased Little Heavenly Demon.
Because of that, even though he was captured with difficulty, interrogation was not easy, but if he used the solitude technique he had developed recently, he could easily get him to open his mouth.
Then, we might be able to find out the whereabouts of the long-lost Shingeomcheonma… …!
‘Then with that achievement, I will be freed from this miserable slavery! I will become a black demon!’
It was at that time that I had such a swollen heart.
“What? Why is no one answering?”
Gwi-jun frowned when he didn’t get an answer from the other two prosecutors.
Even though they originally had no camaraderie between them and were busy ignoring each other, shouldn’t they at least answer properly on such an important mission?
『If you understand, then at least say so! You damn things! Then we will know whether the operation will be carried out properly or not!!』
The crowds are slowly thinning out, so it’s time to start attacking the apostates.
『Sky owl, answer me! Owl, what are you doing?』
The target was gradually moving away from that point.
“hey!!”
Finally, Gwi-jun couldn’t hold it in any longer and screamed.
but.
『… … .』
『… … .』
Returning is still just silence.
Stop!
At this point, Gwi-jun also began to feel something ominous.
The steps chasing the apostate stopped.
“What? Did everyone get a headache?”
As expected, there was no answer.
Srrrrung!
Gwi-jun quickly pulled out the greatsword hanging from his back and looked around.
Spread the spirit wave.
If there were any colleagues around, their spirit waves would be detected.
But there was nothing.
As if it had suddenly evaporated.
Gulp!
In that moment, cold sweat ran down Gwi-jun’s cheek.
‘When on earth did it happen?’
His companions, who had the secret words owl and owl, were also gliders who had been inspectors for at least several decades.
It means that the force they have is first-class.
Even if a skilled expert came forward, it would not be possible to eliminate him this easily.
No, even if that were possible, it made no sense that he wouldn’t sense it.
Because all the swordsmen of Heukgolgwigok are connected by a spiritual bond called the Evil Spirit Wave.
They could not disobey the orders of the higher-ranking shamans or sorcerers, and there was a psychic connection between them, making it possible for them to understand each other’s psychology and state in real time.
So, even if there is some kind of surprise attack, it will be naturally transmitted to other private investigators.
But you didn’t know that until now?
‘It would be impossible unless the attacker was a superior sorcerer than the master-‘
“Why? Were you surprised when you suddenly got no response from your colleagues?”
‘!!’
Gwi-jun straightened his back.
I took a quick look around.
But there is only darkness and silence flowing.
“What on earth are you looking at? You came here on your own two feet to a place where there’s no one, so what on earth are you looking for?”
A voice mixed with laughter.
‘I am being watched.’
Gwi-jun swallowed dry saliva.
No matter how widely I spread my energy and spirit, nothing was detected.
On the other hand, it was clear that the enemy was watching his every move from somewhere.
Moreover, the message that was being delivered to him was not a simple transmission.
Command discord.
He was speaking directly to the spiritual bond that connected the consciousness of the four inspectors!
‘You infiltrated the command center! How on earth did you…?’
My mouth is completely dry.
Is it possible that he is a superior sorcerer than the White Bone Sword Master?
I wondered if there was such a being in the Angmasinhwajong sect, but no one came to mind.
If there is, then how much of a mastermind behind the recent troubles caused by the Baekgolmangsa is the Guryongbun family?
But what on earth does he have to do with the Angmasinhwajong?
‘Wait, really?’
For a moment, Guijun suddenly had the thought that the Angmasinhwajong clan knew about the new religion’s plan and had joined forces with the Nine Dragon Branch clan’s Lee Gongja to sabotage it.
『That’s a very interesting view. I guess you could think in that direction. It would be good if you used it well.』
The laughter in his voice grew louder.
『Well, if you really think about it, it doesn’t seem that different.』
Then, Gwi-jun had to stop his thoughts in the middle.
‘Even my thoughts… are being read.’
“You just realized it now? You’re too slow. That’s why I was nagging you to improve your technique a long time ago.”
‘Supplement to the recipe?’
There were very few people who could dare to say anything to the black bone ghost’s sorcery.
In the past ten years, there has only been one.
If so, then surely-
“Cow, cow, cow, cow leader-”
“You’re so slow at making decisions. Your other friends noticed it so quickly.”
This time the voice came from the back of my head, not my psychic.
Gwi-jun hurriedly turned his body around.
On the roof of an empty thatched cottage.
Two purple will-o’-the-wisps rose up and slowly revealed their shapes.
A man was sitting on a roof with his back to the full moon, looking down.
A red lion mask covering the face.
A black robe that completely covers the body.
The shining purple eyes and the sinister ashen aura spreading around.
Kkaaaah!
The sound of his voice echoed widely, as if announcing his arrival.
The moonlight of the full moon behind me looked especially gloomy today.
“!!!”
The emergence of a cult leader who was previously thought to be dead.
Gwi-jun’s body became stiff.
He instinctively tried to lie face down on the floor.
But strangely, I felt no strength in my body.
As if my limbs were tied together with invisible thread.
‘S, Seriously, Sa, Sa, the commander’s wave decision even took control of my body-‘
“Did you miss me so much that you thought you were going crazy?”
A voice still mixed with laughter flowed out from beyond the lion’s head.
“I made it so that I could come up from hell like this.”
But strangely enough.
The ear-whispering tone in that voice kept sending shivers down my spine.
Kkaaaah!
