Episode 5
Six years
“Son!”
Namgung Sanyeong had two children with Dang Hosan.
The eldest daughter, Dang Gyu-jin, had already shown outstanding talent to the point that she was noticed not only by her family, Dangga-ta, but also by the old faction, and there was no one in Sacheon’s martial arts world who did not know her name, Cheon-yeop Seon-ja.
The second son, Dang Yuchang, is no different. Although he is no match for his sister, he is an outstanding scholar and has already earned the nickname of “Dark Shadow Talent.”
In the Tanggata, the siblings were praised as tiger father and tiger son because they did not tarnish their father’s reputation but rather brought more glory to him.
To Namgung Sanyoung, who had a difficult relationship with her husband who was as rigid as a rock, these are the people she is most proud of.
“How have you been?”
“When on earth did you come out? Did you get what you wanted?”
Before visiting Gaju, Dang Yuchang volunteered to undergo a six-month retreat. This was because he did not want to show his bad side to the dark lord.
“Although it is insufficient, I have succeeded in forming a small shadow energy.”
“Well done, my son! I knew you could do it!”
Namgung Sanyoung hugged Dang Yuchang tightly.
The dark energy becomes as secretive as a shadow once it is spread out, so it is also considered a seasonal energy in Dangga-ta.
But I can’t help but be proud that I was able to pull it off.
After enjoying such a short reunion.
One of Namgung Sanyoung’s eyebrows twitched at the words that Dang Yuchang brought up.
“I heard the story about the bastard. He said some mean things to your mother, didn’t he?”
“… Don’t even bring up that annoying guy’s story. You don’t even know the favor of raising me, and you dare show such an attitude! I won’t stay still-”
“So here’s what I’m saying to you.”
“Hmm?”
“If the guy really has a mastermind behind him, trying to find out now will only result in committing the same mistake as Ta-cho Kyung-sa. So why not?”
A snake will run away if you hit the grass.
“Yes. You are right. If there is someone who is eating the Nine Dragons branch, we must find out the root of it. What do you plan to do?”
“When the head of the household visits the event, I will recommend you to the head of the household.”
“…what?”
Dang Yu-chang covered his lips with the fan he was holding and laughed.
Words he had never thought of. Namgung Sanyoung’s eyes widened on their own.
“Then wouldn’t the backstory be good and raise its head along with it? I don’t know how they’ll use that bastard, though-”
“I’ll give him some medicine to make his skills look good. Of course, he’ll have to show up to get his share recognized… So you’re planning on destroying everything then?”
“Yes, that’s it.”
Namgung Sanyoung read Dang Yuchang’s thoughts and burst into laughter.
“Hohohoho! That’s a really good plan. If that’s true, then no matter what the kid does, he’ll be out of favor with the head of the household and will be kicked out of the family.”
“Yes.”
“But, this could easily become a burden to our Guryong branch. The head of the family might get angry at us for not being able to properly control our children and only causing internal strife.”
“Well, it all depends on how you package it. We were just recommending the illegitimate son out of brotherly love, but if the illegitimate son actually caused the accident, all the blame would be on him.”
Also, in the process, the Tang Yu-chang siblings will be able to stand out and look taller.
“An ‘accident’? What are you going to do about it?”
Dang Yu-chang smiled bitterly at Namgung San-young’s question. It was a smile that resembled his mother’s.
After hearing the detailed plan, Namgung Sanyoung sighed deeply, feeling both satisfied and disappointed.
“Ha! Your sister needs to come to her senses like you. She’s always been upright in other matters, but she can’t be when it comes to that child.”
“That’s because you have such a kind heart. But after going through this, won’t your sister’s thoughts change?”
The eldest, Dang Gyu-jin, was the only one in the Guryong branch who was friendly to Yun-hui. So Namgung San-yeong always felt sorry for him.
Knock knock!
Then, suddenly, the door opened. It was the maid’s room.
“I have something urgent to report, so I am taking the trouble to come here.”
“What happened?”
“There is word that the eldest daughter will be arriving in Guryong County in ten days.”
“Jina? You said you’d come for the event, and it looks like you finally came. Hahaha. But what’s the problem with that?”
“I, but that-”
“Can you elaborate?”
Namgung Sanyoung frowned in anxiety. The head maid’s head lowered.
“I don’t know where you heard it, but I heard that the young lady was very angry after hearing the story of the White War-”
“What?”
Namgung Sanyoung’s twin hearts were raised.
At that moment, she didn’t notice a spider climbing up onto the window.

Shh! Shh shh-
A narrow room in the White Hall. I have been practicing silently here for the past two months without ever going outside.
He moved his body violently.
The momentum was as ferocious as a tiger chasing its prey with all its might and biting its lifeline.
Pavababak!
Bokhoshibap (暴虎十二拍). One of the advanced basic techniques handed down among ronin, it was definitely not easy to train because the entire body, including the fists, palms, fingers, and legs, were treated as if they were weapons.
In fact, screams were bursting out from all over my body.
I was forcing myself to use muscles I wasn’t used to, and the stiff movements caused a lot of strain to my ligaments.
However, there was no martial art better than this one to train a body that had been steadily improving over time in a short period of time.
The result of cleansing the blood vessels and meridians by swallowing the Mangnyeonghwan every day and strengthening the body through extreme muscle training that pushes it to its limits.

but.
-Are you talking about the Cheonma Shingyo? After all, hasn’t it been six years since the Cheonma disappeared?
Actually, I didn’t have time to celebrate this change.
It was because of the past history of Gangho that I learned about through Hyung-sam.
Six years!
It’s been a whole six years.
Since ‘Yeonunhwi’ died.
-That is why I understand that the Cheonmasin Church is currently divided into the Old Demon Sect and a civil war has broken out.
I thought that there might be a gap between the actual flow of time and the success of the Genshin Jeonryun Gyeop.
But I didn’t know the difference would be this big.
It was my mistake to naively think that the difference would only be one or two months at most.
The world had already become completely different from what I knew.
The Shinto religion is in the midst of a civil war, and the Magic Alliance is attempting to establish itself in various ways.
Jungwon is looking for an opportunity to eliminate Cheonsan at this time.
It was a time of chaos.
It wouldn’t be surprising at all if something exploded somewhere at any moment.
That made me anxious.
We need to get out of this Kowloon area as soon as possible.
So, I had this obsession in my head that I had to find out more about the situation of the new religion.
“… No. Not yet.”
But I soon gave up on that idea.
If you make a wrong move as ‘Dang Yun-hwi’ right now, not only will something irreversible happen, but even if it’s urgent, now is the time to exercise self-restraint.
I had to take my time assessing the situation and wait for an opportunity.
Clearly, there must be some people called the Hoi or something involved in the division of the Shinto religion.
“The only possible attempt would be to contact the secret branch. But even this is too risky.”
There will be a secret branch of the Shingyo in Sacheon, so stop by and find out more details.
We might be able to find out the whereabouts of our missing Master.
It was just like this.
The only thing I can try now is.
But I couldn’t be satisfied with this.
Even with that, we might not have been able to find the whereabouts. So we needed more information.
A way to find out high-level information about the Master without being noticed by the meeting.
There was only one way that came to mind.
“Visit to the Dark Lord.”
A visit from a giant who was considered one of the top ten masters in the world along with his master.
Is there any way to make good use of this?
Knock!
“Hoo-”
After unfolding all twelve herbs, a long exhalation came out mixed with a sweet smell.
It seemed like the movements were still very immature.
I went over the points that needed to be corrected and played the game again.
The goal is to complete the Twelve Strikes of the Bomb.
There’s still a long way to go for that.
* * *
How much did you focus on martial arts?
My body became saggy like water-soaked cotton.
Now, he put the remaining Mangnyeonghwan into his mouth, sat cross-legged again, and used the Dokryongsimgyeol.
Now, as if we had become one, my internal energy began to flow along a familiar path.
Iljucheon, Ijucheon, Samjucheon… … .
As I continued to practice this exercise several times, I was able to expel all the turbid air and fatigue from my body.
After doing this, I was able to maintain some level of stamina without having to eat separately.
Of course, contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t like I didn’t eat anything at all.
When I opened my eyes after finishing my exercise, a swarm of spiders was laying down a wall of rocks in front of me.
“What the heck, this again? I told you to bring me something else! I’m dying from thirst. Do you really want to follow your friends?”
When I frowned, the giant spider was startled.
“Hey, the kitchen security is really tight these days! If you want to sneak it in, the best way would be to get it from the closed training center! Trust me, Young Master!”
Actually, I didn’t make all the elders into ghosts.
Among them, those who were originally weak-willed and easy to exploit, or those who had no choice but to participate in the meeting’s intimidation, were put aside and used in this way to their advantage.
Even if you plant it on spiders or ants, they become excellent deliverymen who secretly deliver food and water to you.
In addition, he finds out the internal situation of the branch and brings it to you.
“Ugh, this is really disgusting. Is there any new news? Where did Dark Zone come from?”
When I asked him while chewing on the tasteless wallflower, he nodded his head wildly as if there was a giant spider.
“Huh… Yujang? Yucheong?”
“It must be Dang Yoo-chang.”
After a few months of living as spiders, it seems like even their intelligence has deteriorated.
“Oh, right! That’s the name! Anyway, my son, who is called Dang Yoo-chang or something, has finished his training at the closed facility and returned.”
“It was time to come. If everything goes according to plan, there won’t be much time left until the visit to the dark zone. Surely that’s not all?”
“Oh, no! I think that guy is probably plotting something with the Lady against the Young Leader.”
“A conspiracy?”
I was intrigued and gestured for him to speak quickly.
Only then did the giant spider start to tell everything he had seen and heard in a cheerful voice.
“Are you trying to pick me up at the event? Do you think there’s someone behind me?”
“That’s right!”
“The kids are sitting down to write a novel.”
I couldn’t help but laugh, but it certainly wasn’t strange for them to come to that conclusion.
The idiot who had been treated so well until now is now talking back with a startled expression on his face, so he must think that there is some reason to trust him.
Do you think that the leader of the Cheonmasingyo cult has possessed you?
That is originally a rational judgment.
“What are you going to do now, Young Master? You’re not the type of person to just sit back and let it happen.”
“If you use it well, you might be able to draw some decent pictures.”
There is nothing easier than using a conspiracy that has been completely exposed to hit someone in the back of the head.
“Recommendation, recommendation.”
But soon my mind became calm.
“Well, I don’t think there’s a need to do anything special?”
“Huh, huh? What does that mean?”
“Do I have to explain everything to you?”
“Oh, no! I was just asking out of curiosity, so don’t worry about it. Ha, hahaha!”
My fickle, unpredictable behavior must be as painful to him as going back and forth between hot and cold water.
Even if you use them to your advantage, you have to step on them like this every now and then so that they realize their place in the company. Those people called Sima Oedo are the kind of people who are fundamentally driven to hit people in the back of the head.
Anyway, my conclusion was the same.
There was no need to do anything right now.
Didn’t you recommend me to Amzon on your own?
Could it be that I, a small-time demon, was trying to avoid being noticed by the Dark Lord?
If I did something, it was enough to keep beating the drum and secretly setting the table so that they wouldn’t change their minds.
I thought it would be better to use this opportunity to get selected for the special forces.
After that, you can either undergo extreme training and pretend to be dead to change your identity, or you can become the disciple of the Dark Lord and gain access to the heart of the Central Plains martial arts world.
Then, it will be easier to access advanced information, and it will be much easier to find the missing master.
There was so much that could be done.
So there is only one thing I have to do right now.
All you need to do is get your body back in peak condition within a few days.
I’m ready to train again.
“…vicious.”
The giant spider shook its head as if it was tired.
The reincarnation demon temple
