Episode 59
Han (恨)
The support troops, including Dang Gyu-jin, quickly ran up the ridge.
“Just a little bit, just a little bit faster!”
“Princess! I understand that you are in a hurry, but even if you are Prince Yunhwi, you cannot go to Dosunghyeon in one day! So please do not rush like this!”
There are six support troops in total.
But we couldn’t ignore them just because their numbers were small.
Because each of them was already the best of the Nine Dragon Branch who shook up the Sichuan martial arts world during their youth.
The members of Jeongpunggak.
They were also people from the old Gwangpungdae.
‘Why on earth are you doing this?’
The person in charge, Dang-ri, did not quite understand why Dang-gyu-jin was pressuring him like this.
He knew full well that the matter was urgent.
I now admit that the driving skills are more impressive than I thought.
But that doesn’t mean it had to be done so quickly.
Although Guryong-hyeon and Dosung-hyeon are close in distance, they boast a rugged mountain path in between that can only be reached by crossing a plateau.
Even those from the Gwangpungdae, who have a wealth of combat experience like them, must be determined to increase their speed of advance.
So, no matter how fast Yun-Hui increased his speed, there was bound to be a limit to how far he could move.
If you get tired and take a rest along the way, or if it gets late and you end up sleeping out, time will pass quickly.
But no matter how much I explained this, Dang Gyu-jin simply dismissed it.
“So, did you find any traces of Hwi-ah’s sleep?”
“that-“
“Rather, it seems like I only found traces of Hwi-ah passing by in a hurry?”
“… … .”
There was nothing to say here.
Because it was true.
Since the route across the plateau was limited, it was easy to find traces of transportation.
But there was no sign of any rest among them.
Rather, there are only traces of taking a breather and moving busily.
I even wondered if I was being chased by someone, but judging from the traces left around me, it didn’t seem to be that case.
To put it simply, everything was a mystery.
It doesn’t make sense that Yun-Hwi, who lacks practical experience, could move so quickly, but traces of this still remained.
What on earth should I say when I see something like this?
‘I saw it correctly. I don’t know the exact reason, but Hwi-ah is in a hurry right now.’
Dang Gyu-jin recalled the back of Un-hui, who had sent himself and Dang-gon to the branch house and was heading to Do-seong-hyeon alone.
He wanted to go to Dosunghyeon as soon as possible.
Like someone being chased by something.
Even the most level-headed person can easily lose focus at times like that and end up in a big accident.
Dang Gyu-jin wanted to prevent that from happening at all costs.
“So, I’ll ask you just a little more.”
“… Yes, I understand.”
In the end, when Dang Gyu-jin bowed his head and asked, Dang-ri had no choice but to agree.
And soon after, Dang Gyu-jin and his party received new news from Jeon Seo-eung, who had been sent from the branch.
―A conflict breaks out between Prince Yunhwi and the Taoist group of the Lion’s Gate, and Prince Yunhwi wins a great victory.
―It has been determined that the Jeongwolhyeonnyeo of Amipa and the Baekgeommolan of Cheonghwasanjang were in that location.
– Need to understand the relevant content.
“Whia met Min Mae and Seon Mae?”
Yoo Su-min and Sima Seon-ui were also close friends with Dang Gyu-jin.
I was even joining a group of Western regional scholars called Shushan Jiaoyan, when I suddenly discovered their names.
But what caught Dangri’s attention was something else.
Why did the Taoist group of the Lion Gate suddenly clash with Confucius Unhwi?
The fact that the Lion King was defeated by the Cheongcheon Sword Emperor was so well-known that the Taoist army could have targeted Sima Xianyi, but it was impossible to understand why he was involved with Prince Yunhui, who was chasing the underbelly of the Demonic Cult.
But one thing was certain.
As Dang Gyu-jin said, Yun-hui had already arrived in Do-seong-hyeon and had recovered enough strength to win the fight there.
‘Perhaps, Prince Yunhui may be even more amazing than I expected… …!’
When Dang-gon went around praising Yun-hui to the point of spit flying, I thought it was really overflowing with love for his disciple and didn’t think much of it.
It seemed like it wasn’t something that could be taken that easily.
‘It’s not just that he has developed great physical strength to the point where he can overcome difficult terrain without any problems, or that he has clashed with the Taoist forces and emerged victorious. It’s definitely not that he has simply developed his skills.’
The evaluation of Yunhui in Dang-ri’s head has completely changed.
‘You are a natural hunter.’
If he had such an innate sense in actual combat, his hunt for the Demonic Cult’s nemesis would have gone faster than expected.
‘Oh no! I was too complacent. I should have hurried more.’
After discussing with other members, Dang-ri did not sleep out in the open even at dawn and completely crossed the ridge.
And I could spot a carriage coming this way.
‘That’s?’
-Tang.
-Nine Dragons.
It looked hastily made, crudely made and different from the flags they had.

But it was clearly a flag symbolizing the Kowloon branch.
Dang Gyu-jin was also able to reach the carriage with even greater speed along with Dang-ri.
But the coachman sitting on the bench was someone I had never seen before.
‘master!!’
Dang Gyu-jin and his group were all tense.
Because the aura emanating from Ilno was not trivial for someone who was just a coachman.
‘It’s like looking at a volcano.’
Especially when Ilno looked down at him because their eye levels were not aligned, the energy came at him even more intensely.
Inside the pupils, there is no emotion whatsoever.
It was as if he had forcibly suppressed the aura of his vicious nature.
If you touch it, it will burst and eat up the entire area.
Even if you said it was magic, I would believe it.
Chew chew chew!
Dangri and his party all took out their secret weapons and prepared to fight.
He was an author who dared to impersonate the Tang family and the Guryong branch while harboring an ominous aura.
As the saying goes, “A good person does not come, and a bad person comes,” so it cannot be said that there were absolutely good intentions, so I had to figure out what the plan was.
Perhaps it is a splinter of the devil’s cult that is returning after harming Yun Hui.
“Ki-ki-ki-ki! It’s a monster, it’s a monster! The old monster has come back, much stronger! It looks like even we won’t be able to handle it now, huh?”
Dang Gyu-jin instinctively put his hands on his waist, but instead frowned at the words that Cheongsaekgwimyeon had spoken.
Even though he was clearly meeting the author for the first time, Blue Mask was talking to him as if he had met a familiar face.
‘You’re back? What do you mean?’
“Still don’t get it? Hehe. You idiots. The owner of the energy you sensed isn’t that coachman! It’s that bird!”
‘what?’
A falcon larger than a human torso sat on the coachman’s left shoulder.
“Don’t you remember? You can’t not remember. You can’t not know me while you have me. You can’t have dementia from a young age.”
Dang Gyu-jin sharpened his senses in every direction.
That moment.
‘!!!’
Dang Gyu-jin felt a chill run down his spine.
There was an active volcano right there, seething beyond anything I had ever felt before.
It was a monster of such enormous size that it would be incomparable to all the monsters she had defeated over the years if put into one place.
Devil.
Although it only looked like a bird, it seemed more like a monster.
“Hehehe! You’re just realizing it now? You’re so dull! You’re so dull!”
The problem was that the monster’s temperament was familiar.
‘… Could that falcon be the monster that Yun-Hwi subdued in the White War?’
“that’s right!”
‘That’s ridiculous!’
“Why can’t it be possible? It’s right there!”
Even the high tide that Yun Hui had achieved was by no means weak.
But compared to that time, he boasted a different kind of energy.
How on earth could such a short bird evolve so much?
Was there some coincidence?
No, is it even possible to control something like that in the first place?
The monster was literally a monster.
It is called a monster because it is strange and bizarre.
They thrive on the negative thoughts that humans spit out.
So, in the eyes of monsters, humans were nothing more than prey, and Taoist priests always tried to defeat monsters.
If it could be tamed, then it could no longer be called a monster.
Because it can no longer incite fear. It will end in failure.
But that wasn’t it.
Not only did it have the nature of a monster, but it also had the nature of a demon that surpassed it.
Look at it now.
Just by looking down here, doesn’t it make Dang Gyu-jin and Dang-ri’s group so nervous?
Dangri stepped forward and shouted.
“Why are you hanging the flag of your hometown? Where is Prince Unhwi?”
“Your Majesty-”
The coachman’s mouth, which had been as thick as a tree, opened very slowly.
My lord?
It was at that time that the same question was lingering in the minds of the group.
widely!
Suddenly the carriage door opened wide and someone slowly walked out.
‘Un… Hui Gongja?’
‘however-‘
‘Is this really Confucius?’
‘That’s true, but clearly-‘
‘I don’t think so.’
It was Yunhwi.
But it wasn’t Yunhwi.
A gait in which the torso is extended.
I was so full of energy.
But somehow, an indescribable pressure made the surrounding air heavy.
Hwaaaaak!
“!!”
“!!”
“!!”
The magical energy that Onma had been radiating disappeared as if it were a lie, and Unhwi’s energy filled the place.
My breath was suddenly caught in my throat.
Dang Gyu-jin, Dang Ri-do, and the other members of Jeongpunggak were also speechless at this moment.
Yun-Hwi, whom I’ve met for the past two months, has always been confident.
He was always smiling and had no hesitation in doing anything.
So, everyone I met always received some invisible power from Unhwi.
But not now.
It felt like it would burn to the bone the moment I touched it.
Both body and soul.
A blazing flame that looked as if it would explode at any moment.
But since they couldn’t find a proper place to explode, Dang Gyu-jin and his party felt like their lives were in danger just by standing nearby.
What on earth must a person go through to develop such a murderous spirit?
There was no other evil spirit so full of malice.
“My, my lord?”
Ilno also felt so unfamiliar with this kind of behavior that his voice trembled without him realizing it.
Onma’s eyes also trembled slightly in shock.
I clearly thought you were interrogating Baek-san in a playful atmosphere of longing for ghosts just a moment ago, so what on earth happened?
Onma then noticed the ghosts jumping out onto the carriage roof in a panic and asked urgently.
“What the hell is going on!?”
“It seems like something happened while you were interrogating the demon!”
“What’s going on?”
“We haven’t heard the details either! It seems like the demon has been saying bad things about the Mythical Species!!”
“this-“
Onma felt sorry.
‘It seems like all the anger you’ve been suppressing has exploded!’
Although he didn’t show it on the outside, he knew very well how much resentment Yun-hui had for the six-year hiatus.
But it seemed that Baek-san had inevitably provoked it.
What should I do with this anger?
It was at that time that Onmado was wandering around, not knowing what to do.
Damn it!
“…Princess?”
“What are you going to do?”
Suddenly, Dang Gyu-jin started walking towards Un-hui.
Dang-ri and his party, On-ma and the ghosts, and Il-no were all in confusion.
It seemed like Dang Gyu-jin would be devoured by the murderous intent that Yun Hui was spewing out.
However, Dang Gyu-jin threw the sword he was holding in his hand onto the floor with an indifferent expression.
‘You look sad.’
Dang Gyu-jin got a different impression from Yun Hui than from other people.
Why wouldn’t Unhwi be afraid of her now?
But strangely, I felt more sorry than that.
I didn’t even know why myself.
Perhaps the shadows beneath those murderous eyes had shaken her heart.
Because in her eyes now, Yun-Hwi looked like a wandering wolf covered in wounds.
So she wanted to soothe Yun-hui’s wounds even a little.
Her thought was that if she could relieve even a little of the resentment that had built up in her heart, things would get a little better.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Dang Gyu-jin quietly hugged Yun-hui.
Yun-Hwi stood still for a long time.
