Episode 54
I returned as ordered.
I parted ways with Kunlun Sanno right there.
It was to escape from Do Seong-hyeon before the surveillance net of Domabukhaejong appeared.
However, Ilno decided to stay by their side to keep in touch with them.
On the way back to Kowloon County.
Only then did Il-no look surprised when he saw my face after taking off the lion mask.
“Little sage, that face is-”
“You probably know why I don’t show my face anymore, right?”
I, too, have slowly returned to my normal way of speaking, rather than the stern tone of a cult leader.
Ilno nodded with a stern face.
“Didn’t you choose the Tang Gate as the nest for the revival of this species? It would be best if only a few people knew about this fact.”
If Ino and Samno get caught by them while they’re returning, things will go wrong.
I planned to tell the vampire demon the truth later.
“I am deeply moved that you show your face to a worthless believer like me.”
“Be careful with your speech in the garden.”
“What should I call you?”
“master?”
“Oh, how dare Soma-”
“Be careful with your vocabulary. If you say anything like Soma inside, it’s all screwed up.”
“I will correct it.”
“Don’t be so polite.”
Ilno rolled his eyes while sweating profusely.
In the Angmasinhwajong sect, the sect leader is seen as the incarnation of a being who is both a divine king and a great demon god.
So, it would be psychologically unacceptable to treat me, the successor who will become the new incarnation, so easily.
But this is the Central Plains, and many changes had to be made in order to revive the Mythical Species in the future.
A change in Ilno’s attitude was essential.
“Then… shall I call you lord? No, I will.”
“Yeah. It’s comfortable and nice.”
However, the title of lord was also a worldly term, so it seemed quite awkward.
It was quite enjoyable to watch his awkward expression from the side.
“If anyone asks how we met, I’ll say that we coincidentally helped each other out while fighting the Black Bone Valley Mines and we hit it off-”
It was at that time that we kissed each other appropriately.
Kieeeek!
Suddenly a loud noise of birds was heard from the sky.
Ilno and I both looked up at the sky.
“What a strange bird is coming this way!”
The hawk attempted to dive this way.
It was a falcon that gave off such an ominous aura that it was almost eerie.
Ilno instinctively tried to stand in front of me, but I reached out and stopped him.
“It’s okay.”
“Haona-”
“We are allies.”
“??”
Ilno tilted his head.
But I smiled and held out my right arm.
Then the falcon landed quite naturally on my arm and spread its wings wide.
“I have returned after completing all my missions according to the orders of the Young Leader!!”
It’s nice to see a face like this after a long time.
main.
It was warm.
Kieeeek!
“Oh, you’re finally back.”
“It’s completely different. Did it eat a lot of monsters and become like that?”
Even the ghosts welcomed Onma happily, but could not hide their jealousy at his greatly changed appearance.
This guy, his complexion has really changed completely.
He was at least twice as big as when he left.
“Aren’t you too fat?”
“How could that be! It’s because you’re growing! Because you’re growing! Everything will turn into bones and flesh… no, it’ll turn into muscle!!”
I like the growing period.
Anyway, are you saying it’s true that you came back after binge eating?
Why are you being so naughty?
I shook my head.
But on the other hand, I also had that thought.
Following the skeletal remains, even the ranches were completely scorched.
I bet the Black Bone Ghosts are really pissed off by now.
“And I have something to report to you separately.”
“report?”

“I found it while raiding several ranches.”
Onma’s chest heaved and then suddenly vomited something out.
I looked closely to see what it was.
A jewel that sparkles red.
Then it seemed like something was shining inside.
For a moment my face hardened.
“What is this?”
* * *
“Where the hell is that guy?”
Gu Min-chae frowned as she quickly looked around.
After sending Baek-san away, he was chasing the Onma that appeared in this area.
It was because of an urgent order that arrived through Ma Cheon-eung’s contact network while tracking down the remnants of the Angmasinhwajong.
―There is news that the monster that has been plundering the ranches of Heukgolguigok has finally returned to Sacheon. They say that it is an unidentified force that resides in Dangmun, so you must find out its identity, so bring it to me.
The person who sent the order was none other than his father, the Lord of the North Sea.
The Northern Sea Lord usually gave orders to his subordinates and relayed them, and rarely created orders himself.
But the fact that he sent it like this means that it is an important matter.
As for Gu Min-chae, it was unpleasant to have to leave the prey that had been chased right before his eyes to someone else, but it was not an action that could be taken to ignore the orders of the Northern Sea Lord.
The problem, however, was that there was little information about the monster they were trying to chase.
It is said to be a monster-like bird that is as big as a person’s upper body and has enough stamina to fly a thousand miles easily once it starts flying… How on earth do you find it?
There are more than one or two flying creatures that resemble falcons, and if they have the stamina to fly a thousand miles, their flight speed must be very fast.
This meant that it was difficult to confirm with the eyesight of a single human being.
Of course, the Lord of the Northern Sea was not so kind-hearted as to consider the circumstances of his subordinates, so that responsibility fell solely to Gu Min-chae.
And Gu Min-chae passed on his share of the burden to his subordinates.
Fortunately, the Red Bone Evil Cry from Heukgolguigok was good at tracking down monsters, so they were able to pinpoint their general location.
“Kkkkkkkkkk, why are you in such a hurry? We’re almost there. All the students of our Guigok have a black spirit called Heukmajeong (黑魔精), so they absolutely cannot avoid my lustful cries.”
Among the twelve black ghosts of Heukgolgwigok, Jeokgolsagok boasted the most unique history.
If Baekgolmangsa shook the spirit bell to control the zombies, Jeokgolsagok charmed people and controlled the zombies by making a crying sound.
Since ancient times, crying has been a sound made during a funeral.
It was a guidebook to help the newly dead pass over to the afterlife without wandering around the underworld. It also signified the subtle boundary between this world and the afterlife.
And these characteristics usually appear in monsters.
Jeokgol Sagok wanted to use this characteristic of the song to chase after Ju(?).
He was very displeased with Gu Min-chae, who kept asking him why he hadn’t found the Lord yet.
‘Huh! Those who don’t even know anything about witchcraft are always talking big and demanding that I get results quickly.’
Although he was upset at being ignored by an author who didn’t even get his father’s approval, he still focused on the work at hand.
In order to repair even a little of the damage that Gwigok had suffered, it was imperative to find the Lord.
Moreover, although it had not yet been reported to the North Sea, he had taken the most cherished treasure from Heukgolguigok.
‘We have to hurry and retrieve it before he finds out! Otherwise, we’ll arouse the suspicion of the North Sea Clan.’
The two eyes of Jeokgolsa Valley shone ominously.
Gooooo!
At that moment, the sound waves that had been spread out in all directions returned.
Attention, your presence has been detected.
“Over there!”
Pfft!
But the place we arrived at was completely unexpected.
“…What do you want to do?”
“This, this is-”
Jeokgol Sagok was also at a loss for words for a moment.
The whole area was covered in ice.
A phenomenon that occurs when the mine of the North Sea species uses the Ice White God skill.
There had been a fierce battle, as the ice was broken in many places and there were sword marks everywhere.
The problem was that, in addition to the cautionary note, there was a very familiar scent lingering here.
“Baeksan… was here?”
It was the wave of Baeksan.
To Gu Min-chae, Baek-san was a teacher, but in reality, he was like a father who supported her mentally in place of the Bukhae Jongju.
Of course, there was no way I wouldn’t notice the traces he left behind.
There were even traces of the Shiksim Bingdok being activated.
Shiksim Bingdok is not yet a completed martial art, and requires a considerable amount of internal energy to activate.
To put it simply, it was like a bee sting.
The fact that he wrote that means that his life was in danger… The problem was that Baek-san was nowhere to be seen.
There was no body.
“Aren’t you going to ask what happened!!”
At Guminchae’s anger, Jeokgolsagok stepped back, sweat dripping down his face.
‘I don’t know what to do even if I look at it!!’
Before I knew it, Gu Min-chae was pulling out the road with a murderous look in her eyes.
Srrrrung!
Sword of Stealing.
It was one of the three greatest horsemen that Domabukhaejong was proud of, and it was his beloved soldier who gave Guminchae the nickname of Chilchotalmyeong (七秒奪命).
The aura on the blade looked particularly dreary, like an ice rink.
It’s dangerous!
Jeokgolsa-gok’s mind was spinning quickly as he felt a sense of crisis.
“If you don’t answer properly, you’ll die here-”
“Ooh, this is the Guryong branch!!”
“what?”
When the sharp blade of the sword touched the nape of his neck, Jeokgolsa-gok reflexively muttered something.
“The monster we were chasing, the ‘Ju’, was originally sent by Gojo to assassinate the son of the Nine Dragons, but was mutated and created by him for some unknown reason!”
“Guryongbun-ga?”
“Yes, that’s right!”
The sting that was digging into the back of my neck stopped.
Blood flowed down the veins of his skin.
“Tell me more.”
“We, we have been trying to infiltrate the Guryong branch house with Bae and Baekgolmangsa as our vanguard, and we have been working with Namgung Se-ga for a while now-”
“If you’re just going to talk about things that everyone already knows-”
“No! This is where it gets important!”
“what?”
“In order to successfully infiltrate, I had been trying to gain the favor of the owner of the Guryong branch, a writer named Namgung Sanyoung, and he asked me to assassinate his illegitimate son.”
It was clearly a topic I brought up to buy time, but as I continued to talk about it, my jumbled thoughts began to get organized little by little.
“But the prosecutor who had been involved in the assassination died for unknown reasons, and Gojo suddenly mutated into a major cult and started raiding our ranches.”
“You don’t know why?”
“Yes! That’s right! The White Bone Net is investigating, but as you know, it hasn’t fully infiltrated the Nine Dragons branch yet-”
“Everyone knows that the Tang family’s insular nature is well known.”
“That, that’s why it’s taking so much time. Baekgolmangsa is pressuring Namgung Sanyoung, but the problem is that there is no organization that can be assumed to be behind that bastard.”
Jeokgolsaegok confessed everything he had been told by Baekgolmangsa.
The fact that the illegitimate child was treated as a child abandoned by the Kowloon branch family until just a few months ago.
But suddenly, people started to change and started to disrupt Heukgolguigok’s plans little by little.
At this point, even Gu Min-chae couldn’t help but realize that something was going wrong.
“…There’s something fishy about that bastard or something.”
“Yes! There must be someone behind this!”
Gu Min-chae’s eyes became cold and sank.
‘Baeksan clearly went chasing the remnants of the Shinwhajong and disappeared. However, the path he took is consistent with that of the bastard who seems to have controlled the monster called Ju… Could this really be a coincidence?’
There is only one conclusion that can be drawn here.
―The unidentified mastermind behind this may be connected in some way to the Angmasinhwajong.
“!!!”
As she thought about it this way, Gu Min-chae also had a strong instinct that she could no longer take this lightly.
“That bastard, what’s his name?”
“My name is Dang Yun-Hwi.”
“…what?”
“It’s called Dang Yun-hwi-”
Unhwi.
The moment she heard those two letters, Gu Min-chae’s eyes turned cold.
Reincarnation Demon Temple
