Episode 87
A bastard like Naburangi
The sixth general of Jeongpunggak, Dang Jianhou, was not at all satisfied with the current Jeongpunggak system.
‘You cheeky brat! Just a little while ago, you couldn’t even look at my face properly and were just scraping the floor. What on earth do you know about that bastard, putting all that strength into your shoulders…!’
He was originally a member of a group that actively supported the Red War, which had Dang Yu-chang in power.
That would be the case, because wasn’t the fruit of the marriage that symbolized the union between the Seopaedangmun and Dongjenamgung none other than Dang Yuchang and Dang Gyujin?
So, whether in name or bloodline, I had no doubt that only Dang Yu-chang, the legitimate heir, could secure a glorious future for the Guryong branch family.
But then suddenly, the bastard’s momentum grew like wildfire and engulfed everything.
Dang Gyu-jin passed over to Yun Hui, and Dang Yu-chang had to leave the branch house in loneliness.
Reconciliation with Dongje Namgung?
From the moment Namgung Sanyoung died, everything was cut off.
Now, there is nothing left but war with them.
‘If the Demonic Cult is going to rise up, shouldn’t we bring Namgung to our side even more? And yet, because of that petty power struggle, we’re kicking out a fellow member of the Central Plains…! It’s like trying to catch a flea and burning down the house.’
But now, there were only a few people left in the Kowloon branch who were concerned about such serious matters.
‘The ones from Gwangpungdae are the biggest problem! Just because they’ve decided on power, they start wagging their tails like dogs at those bastards.’
Since Dang Jianhou was a foreigner, he always looked down on the members of the Gwangpungdae who clung together and made a fuss.
Not long ago, Dang-gon had protested against Yun-hui’s order to completely change the surveillance system of Punghwajeong, and had to suffer humiliation in front of his subordinates, which was an extension of this incident.
Because of that, Dang Jianhou was gnashing his teeth, vowing that he would one day take revenge on those guys from Gwangpungdae.
‘The same goes for Punghwajeong. Everything is going wrong. I’m pushing the branch I’ve dedicated my whole life to into hellfire!’
But after seeing him for a while, he couldn’t bring himself to reveal these feelings.
Those friends were all demoted because they were labeled as ‘pro-Namgung’.
So I planned to hide myself as much as possible and wait for the right time.
‘The bastard is currently running wild and tyrannical like a thug. So, there will be an opening that will show up at some point. We must wait for that moment.’
And to create that gap, Dang Jianhou was actively not following orders.
“Sergeant, is it really okay to do this? This is… disobeying orders.”
The current mission of the Sixth Division after Dang Jianhu is to monitor the area around the night market.
However, after Dang Jianhu passed on most of the work to his subordinates, either carrying out his duties or not.
Given the team leader’s attitude, it was only natural that the team members’ discipline, which had been very tense at first, would gradually become less disciplined.
So, his subordinate, who was concerned about this, cautiously offered his opinion, but Dang Jianhou lightly laughed.
“What do you mean disobeying orders? I’m standing in line in the assigned order, and I’m patrolling along the assigned route?”
“But this is the patrol method before the revision by the head of the small group… bang!”
After talking to him, Dang Jianhu grabbed the back of his neck as he was talking back to his subordinate.
“Who are you, you cheeky brat, ordering me around right now? Isn’t what you’re doing now disobeying your superior’s orders?”
“Ugh, ugh…! I, I just-”
“Who the hell incited you to do something like this? Was it that Dang-gon? Surely you don’t think that a mere operative’s orders take precedence over my orders as your direct superior, do you?”
After seeing him, Dang-Gyeon-Hoo’s eyes sparkled with jealousy.
“Oh, no-”
I felt like I was going to suffocate, so I let go of his collar.
dump!
“If you spit one more time, you will be executed immediately. Do you understand?”
“I will keep that in mind.”
“Then go back to your seat.”
“Joe, your name.”
Dang Jianhou frowned as he watched his subordinates running away naked.
“Wind Knight, Wind Knight, if you think about it, they’re all just empty honors given in the past. Don’t be fooled by those things. Tsk!”
Lately, the popularity of Danggon and the Unhwi he supports has been exploding among young agents.
It seemed that in order to correct even the Sixth Paragraph, I had to start by overhauling that rotten mentality.
There was so much to do.
‘These demonic bastards are much more secretive and vicious than we know? The current system can never stop them? Nonsense!’
Crack!
After seeing him, he ground his teeth.
‘What does a young brat who can’t even afford to be a contract know? Unlike you who just open your mouth, we’ve been running around like crazy to stop the Demonic Cult for the past few years. No, it was me. That’s why I know the most about the Demonic Cult.’
So, the previous defense system, which was completed after all kinds of research, was sufficient.
I had no intention of following the system of Unhwi that threw away safety.
“It was wrong to let an illegitimate child who wasn’t even qualified to run wild in the first place-”
As Dang Jianhou was about to turn around to complain, something cold suddenly came under his chin.
Squeak-
Before Dang Jianhou could do anything, his head fell to the floor.
The ghost that succeeded in the ambush looked down at his corpse coldly and then turned its gaze to the other side.
“Move to the next location.”
“Your name.”
“Your name.”
Frost-bearing ghosts were wandering the night sky.
* * *
‘The air has changed.’
Onma straightened his back as he felt something intuitive while flying through the sky.
‘It seems like the number of warriors in charge of areas 6 and 7 to the southeast of the night market has decreased.’
He moved towards the garden of the Guryong branch house, flapping his wings widely in hopes of finding something.

If the North Sea Bell had moved much earlier than expected, or had begun to plot something else, it was because they expected that there would be some movement from the Fourth Guest House.
But at that moment, an old man who had made a strange promise was coming out of the guest house to drink.
As if waiting for something.
‘… You’re waiting?’
Onma opened his eyes wide at the sudden ominous feeling.
Even though it was a distance that was absolutely impossible for the human eye to reach, the middle-aged man suddenly turned his head towards the sky where Onma was.
And he laughed.
『Kkkkkkkk, you’re that guy! You’re the freak who left the embrace of this valley and clung to those guys like a bat, bothering them with every little thing!』
‘Twelve Dark Demons!!’
Judging from the magical power contained in the sound, it was clear that he was a more skilled sorcerer than Baekgolmangsa.
“Now it’s time to come back to our arms.”
Onma flapped his wings in a hurry to send a spirit to Unhwi, but before that, a cold trajectory pierced through the air.
Phew!
After a while, each bird fell helplessly to the ground.
* * *
Only a quiet silence flows along the alley.
I couldn’t even hear the sound of a cicada.
Hwaaaaak!
Dang Gyu-jin and Yoo Su-min quickly expanded their horizons.
‘doesn’t exist!’
But no sign of life was detected in the surroundings.
Even the many cottages beyond the wall were deserted.
This means that all the houses around here are empty.
or not.
All of them ‘became’ empty houses.
Chaechaechaeng!
The moment the three men drew their swords with stern faces, a cold snow wind suddenly blew down from the sky.
Tata dadadang-
The sharp light of the sword flashed through the snow wind.
The three barely managed to throw away all the knives.
Knock, knock!
Soon, the snow wind flew up far away and settled on each wall.
It soon turned into a group of shamans who gave off a cold gaze and atmosphere like the snow woman, a monster that lives in snowy regions.
“As expected of the future leader of Sacheon Murim, I didn’t know he would be able to stop the Ice Lightning.”
And among these merchants, a man appeared.
He had an ordinary face, but he had an extraordinary aura.
The faces of the three people hardened.
“Magic…!!”
“You have a very good sense of smell.”
The man, Gu Min-chae, smiled coldly.
Since ancient times, the Cheonmasingyo religion has called the old sects full of Taoism and Buddhism heretics, meaning that they have abandoned the teachings of God.
I smelled the scent of Taoism coming from Dang Gyu-jin.
“But… you don’t seem that flustered. I guess the Kowloon branch already noticed that we were here?”
Yoo Su-min and Sima Yeon-i’s gaze quickly turned towards Dang Gyu-jin.
Because the two people were completely unaware of this fact.
But Dang Gyu-jin had no time to explain anything to them.
He just holds the Cheonggang sword in silence.
‘Guryonghyeon was clearly under tight surveillance by the Jeongpunggak warriors. And yet, the fact that they showed up-‘
This means that all the agents around here have already been affected.
‘I have to tell Whia right away!’
But the surrounding area was already surrounded by demons, and there seemed to be no way to escape.
The biggest problem of all was that the aura given off by Ku Min-chae, who appeared to be their leader, was by no means insignificant.
It was as if the magic was boiling and ready to explode at any moment.
‘At least a top-notch expert!’
It was a bleak situation.
Even though the three of them were considered to be the best martial artists in the Sacheon martial arts world, they were still only minor peaks compared to Gu Min-chae.
“Well, I guess it doesn’t matter. I have business with you for a completely different reason.”
Gu Min-chae laughed.
And then it disappeared.
“!?”
Dang Gyu-jin hurriedly turned his head to find Gu Min-chae, but before he knew it, he was standing leisurely in front of Yoo Su-min.
“Amipa’s anti-demon sword is troublesome in many ways. So, should we put that sword away first?”
There was no time for Yoo Su-min to do anything.
Even before she could unleash her inner energy, Gu Min-chae’s palm was already hitting her chest.
Phew!
Yoo Su-min stumbled backwards while spitting up blood. His face turned pale.
“Min Mae!!”
“Min-ah!”
Tang Gyu-jin and Sima Xian swung their swords toward Gu Min-chae while screaming. The sword energy flashed sharply.
“Nonsense.”
However, Gu Min-chae lightly snorted and showed off her amazing ability by holding one hand behind her back and wielding two swords at the same time with the other hand.
Tata dadadang!
Hwaaak-
Then, he spread his palms wide and sprayed the powder.
It was the Ice Soul God Palm, the predecessor of the Bukhae Bell, that the Bukhae Shrine boasted about.
Phew!
Shattered ice particles scattered.
Tang Gyu-jin and Sima Xian’s entire bodies were covered in frost.
As cold air penetrated the meridians, the internal energy movement stopped.
My joints were frozen and I couldn’t move.
The food addiction has been triggered.
“The daughter of the Guryong branch family and the famous daughter of Cheongcheon Sword Master, these two should be enough.”
Gu Min-chae smiled coldly and grabbed the bag behind her back.
‘this-‘
Dang Gyu-jin screamed inwardly when he realized what Gu Min-chae was after, but his frozen mouth did not open.
Gu Min-chae spoke to Yoo Su-min, who had collapsed and was bleeding.
“You go to the Kowloon branch and tell them. If you want these hostages back, tell them to come out, Yun-Hwi.”
“!!”
Before Yoo Su-min could even yell at her to stop talking nonsense, Gu Min-chae took Dang Gyu-jin and Sima Seon-ui with her and disappeared completely.
The demon also disappeared following him.
A place where only cold air flows.
“Ah, no… … !!”
Yoo Su-min’s breath wavered anxiously in the air.
* * *
“… Sister, are you sure this is the right thing to do?”
“You worked hard. You did well, didn’t you?”
“I’m worried they might get suspicious.”
“Don’t worry, we didn’t get caught. You saw the pre-sale, right? Those guys were so arrogant that they didn’t even care about us.”
“Well, that’s fortunate.”
“So let’s just wait now. Until the people come.”
