Part 2 Episode 242
I am me
Zhao repeated to himself what he had heard a moment ago.
‘I think everyone misunderstands. I’m just me.’
Why did he say this?
Danju was not a person who talked for nothing.
There must be a good reason.
A thick wrinkle appeared on Zhao’s forehead.
‘I’m just me. Wait, what kind of person was Danju?’
Let’s put aside for now the bloody names the demons were talking about and the scary facts they mean.
I thought back to when I first met Danju.
‘When I was working in Sima Lian, I was caught watching him at the Cheolhyeoljang under the order of Sang So-yun.’
His martial arts skills that allowed him to recognize stealth techniques were amazing, but there was something else that was even more amazing.
Even though he was confident that he had been in a rough place, he was praised as a man who did not even moan while subjecting him to extreme tortures that were unimaginable.
Shouldn’t you scream or spout if you release the pain you’ve pointed out?
Zhao’s whole body trembled slightly without realizing it.
‘Ugh. How can a person do that? There was no separate devil.’
It would have been nice if it ended there.
They used strange magic to disturb her mind and tormented her by feeding her poison so painful that it would have been better for her to die.
Moreover, it turns out that it is not just poison, but a chronic poison.
If you come this far and still hold on, you’re not human.
In the end, he had no choice but to give in to his cruel and ruthless nature, where demons from all over the world would come running to him, prostrate themselves, and ask for his teachings.
‘but… … .’
When I gave up everything, everything changed.
“What is your nickname?”
“This is Zhao.”
“What is a crow? A crow. “I will change it to Gak-eung (角鷹).”
“thank you. “From now on, my nickname is Gak-eung.”
“What happens if you change your nickname? “You have to develop your skills first.”
“… … “What do you mean?”
“I will teach you so that you can be called Gak-eung. So you have to work hard.”
These were not empty words.
They have elixirs and martial arts skills that would make a warrior attack with their eyes lit up, and even excellent weapons.
Danju gave constantly, as if he was pumping water out of a sewage basin.
Naturally, your skills will improve and your personality will change little by little.
That’s all.
I followed him around and met a lot of good people.
Thanks to that, I was able to feel a lot of things and practice good deeds, even if only in small ways. As a result, he earned the undeserved nickname Da Seolbeom Hyeop (多舌凡俠).
And when he reached Liaoning Province after a bloody battle with Sima Lian and Qian Kun in Hunan Province.
Danju introduced Zhao to Grand Duke Mo Yongsangxian as Gak Ning.
They kept their promise to allow it to be called that way.
‘Even if I repeat the cycle of reincarnation described in Buddhism endlessly, will I be able to meet a benefactor like this again?’
Danju’s grace continued to pour in.
By allowing his master to die gracefully in the imperial palace, he erased the shadow of his master that he thought he would never be able to escape.
In addition, he was able to inherit the martial arts and wealth of Yeonginmun (影人門), so he was able to rise to a much higher level than before.
Zhao shook his head inwardly.
‘The more I look back, the more I have received. ‘How can I repay this favor?’
No matter how much I think about it, the only thing I can do is to serve him as my lord and be loyal to him.
Danju refused even that.
In the past, when he secretly escaped from the Murim League camp and began his journey under the heavens, he recited a passage from Poet Lee Baek’s book “Friends’ Hwesuk” to make it clear that they were close friends, not master-servant relationships.
‘The devil… … ended a long time ago. A benefactor and close friend… … .’
Yes, Danju was that kind of person.
Whatever his true nature, it was like that to Zhao.
As I solved one problem, the next problem came to mind.
‘I’ve said everything I have to say. What are you going to do now?’
What should I do?
As always, Danju let me know when the time was right.
Why did he bring only himself out of so many?
‘That’s because I trust it that much.’
Zhao’s eyes were red with indescribable gratitude and overwhelming pride.
‘this. You can’t cry. If that were the case, ‘Are you crying? ‘You look like you’re crying?’ ‘He’ll make fun of you.’
I controlled my mind and looked straight at Jeonggwang.
“I only served Danju for a day or two. “Where Danju is, that is where I am.”
By the time these words are over.
There was a faint smile on Zhao’s lips.
Jeong Gwang also smiled happily.
“I knew you would. As expected, it’s Zao-like.”
“Are you saying it’s me?”

“Don’t you know what I’m talking about?”
“… … .”
Of course I don’t know so I’m asking.
Thick wrinkles appeared on Zhao’s forehead again.
‘What is it about me?’
Former Safain?
Daeseolbeomhyeop? Okay? Blood ancestry?
Or the spirit gate owner?
‘Oh my goodness. After quickly summarizing what kind of person Danju is, why am I… … ah!’
As I realized while thinking about it a while ago, a person is not explained by things like clan affiliation, nickname, or status.
‘What am I? ‘What did Danju see in me that made him call me like me?’
My thoughts deepened.
Zhao naturally sat cross-legged and gently closed his eyes.
‘As for me, I was born as the eldest son of three sons and daughters in Jeongan-hyeon, Gwiju Province, and at the age of eleven, I entered Pacheonbang, a branch of the Four Heukmaeng… … .’
How long has it been since I looked back on my life in detail like this and sank deep within myself?
Zhao’s whole body was engulfed in soft light.
He attained enlightenment and fell into a trance.
Jeong Gwang was so dumbfounded that he watched, scratching his head, and then offered advice to his companions who were still prostrating.
“Stop getting up.”
Everyone quickly stood up and bowed politely.
Seomrang did the same, but he couldn’t control his curiosity and asked in a voice that sounded like a gnat.
“I’ve been spying on you since you were lying down. Uncle Blood, you’re in a trance, right?”
“huh.”
“also. “What did you two say?”
No one could hear the conversation they had because Jeong Gwang blocked it with his inner energy.
Jeong Gwang looked around roughly.
“well. “It wasn’t a big deal, but suddenly he did that.”
In short, I was caught.
Seomrang was so jealous that he sighed loudly and quickly covered his mouth with both hands.
When Jeong Gwang looked at him with a look on his face asking what he was doing, Seomrang whispered softly.
“Mr. Hyeoljo is lucky enough to break through the wall, so you shouldn’t make a fuss.”
“What else can I say?”
Jeong Gwang chuckled.
“I’m not hearing anything, so it’s okay.”
“Damn it. “You should tell me earlier.”
Gwanyeop, who was silently sitting next to him, wiggled his eyebrows.
If you didn’t know the identity of the Supreme Being like before, how could you get over this kind of rudeness?
He glared at Seomrang coldly and sent a warning message.
-Master Su, didn’t you see it earlier? Who do you dare offend? Be polite.
“… … !”
Seomrang realized his mistake and shrank his neck.
Jeong Gwang somehow noticed what was happening and waved his hand.
“it’s okay. “Treat it like before.”
Seomrang’s neck straightened in an instant.
“lol. Yes? Is that comfortable? After all, great people are great people.”
“It would be more comfortable for you.”
Seomrang looked the other way with a shy face and then looked at Zhao.
“Now that it is all over, you have gained enlightenment. “What are you going to use it for?”
Jeong Gwang made a puzzled expression.
“What are you talking about? The world is large and there are many fights. “You never know when and where something will happen, but it’s a good thing.”
Seomrang expressed his regret.
“Great person… … No, Jincheon… … Damn it. Hi! Oh, you know? He swore at me. Well, the Heavenly God is… … .”
“As a great person.”
“… … What are you saying, Daein? “If you stay in Xinjiang, you won’t have to fight with anyone.”
“Let’s clean up after ourselves first.”
Jeong Gwang looked around at the fighting demons and shouted.
“What are you all doing? “Why don’t you get up quickly?”
“… … !”
Whose order are you to reject?
The magicians stood up quickly like masters.
Jeong Gwang smiled softly and explained to those who did not dare to make eye contact.
“haha. do not misunderstand. “I am Jinhon.”
Please shake off that prestige and not misunderstand.
No one believed it.
They all prostrated themselves in fear, wondering if they were doing this to find fault.
“Long live, long live long… … .”
“I told you to stand up. “Are you all deaf?”
Is that possible?
Everyone quickly stood up and shouted.
“no!”
“It’s good that the church members also misunderstood. “If it were true, you would be quite uncomfortable.”
The faces of the demons turned white.
“Absolutely not!”
“is it so? “Is it just one person?”
Jeong Gwang scanned them with his eyes and pointed out one person.
“Master Taocheol, what did you say earlier?”
“… … !”
The thin old man who led the Taocheoldae, one of the four evil forces, was in a daze and stuttered.
“My heavenly god. Cows, cow people are just… … .”
“You said it couldn’t happen and shouldn’t happen.”
“Keuheuk!”
Dao Zhe’s face turned black and dead.
Other demons were similar.
My whole body was shaking and I cried out inwardly.
‘You heard that even while fighting the cult leader!’
‘After all! Even if you become a Celestial God, it’s still the same!’
Still, they got better.
The person caught in the back collapsed and hit his head on the floor.
“please! please! “Please just kill this useless, unscrupulous bastard!”
“What do you say about people?”
Jeong Gwang consoled the governor with a warm voice.
“We can’t see blood again on a nice day like this.”
“… … !”
It was not a good day at all, but Tao Zhe’s face lit up.
But it was only for a moment.
“You are very excited. Relax and cool your head in purgatory. “Life is precious.”
“… … !”
Taocheoldaeju put his head on the floor and opened his eyes wide.
‘Would you rather have two limbs cut off or thrown into that infamous prison cell? It’s a judgment call! Even if you die, don’t fight back and die!’
But it was a fleeting delusion.
What happened to those who did such foolish things in the past?
Moreover, the opponent was not Jincheon Ma at that time.
He returned with the sacred fire of the Heavenly God and looked down upon the world.
‘iced coffee… … .’
Taocheoldaeju shed tears and sighed.
‘They say it will descend when the world falls into a ricochet. The heavens seem to have quickly grown tired of it, so they come down and plunge the world into a ricochet.’
Before Jeong Gwang could speak, the warriors of the Hogyodang (護敎堂) approached the criminal.
Taocheoldaeju did not resist.
Even while the demon blood was being suppressed, he praised the virtue of the Heavenly God.
“God of heaven! thank you! “I will cherish this grace in my heart for the rest of my life!”
Jeong Gwang ordered briefly.
“It’s noisy, so please be careful.”
“Jonmyeong!”
The warriors of Hogyodang responded vigorously and dragged Tao Cheol Daeju away.
Jeong Gwang gave the following command:
“Master Ye Giju (禮旗主). “I’d like to ask you a favor.”
From the six flags, the administrative organizations of the Church of the Heavenly Demon, the head of the Yegi, who was in charge of various events and diplomacy, urgently emerged.
These were the two sides that participated in the finals of the battle for life and death.
“A small person cannot handle the request! “Please order me anything!”
“Then I will tell you anything without hesitation.”
Both sides’ faces became pale.
And I was completely astonished by Jeong Gwang’s next words.
“It’s unfortunate that the leader passed away, so we should comfort his soul, right? cancer. As a family, of course we have to do that.”
What’s wrong with killing someone by directly stepping on them?
But the mouth moved differently.
“That is a very reasonable statement.”
“So please gather the heads of the Seven Great Families as quickly as possible. Goirukdanga is represented by the Soga lord, and the Ageuk Soyeonga also has the lord here, so these two families are excluded.”
“… … !”
Are you trying to gather them all in one place and exterminate them?
“As quickly as possible” may mean arriving right away.
‘How wide is Xinjiang? How?’
However, the person who gave the order was a great man.
Both sides spoke frankly, recalling valuable experiences from the past.
“I’m so sorry to hear this, but no matter how quickly we get together… … .”
“Why don’t you move faster during that time?”
“Jonmyeong!”
Everything went smoothly.
Jeong Gwang gave several demons tasks and dismissed them all.
Then, the Ajuk So Yeon Gaju Yeonhyeokso, who remained until the end, cautiously expressed their gratitude.
“Thank you for taking care of Soin’s father.”
Jeong Gwang grinned.
“But since you are the leader of the cult, you should be treated with the respect you deserve.”
Yeonhyukso stared at Jeonggwang with complicated eyes, bowed politely, and disappeared.
Seomrang, who had been quiet until then, bombarded Jeong Gwang with questions.
“But why did you suddenly reveal your true identity? “I think the mindset was, ‘Let’s just do it passionately.’”
“Oh oh.”
Seomrang’s shoulders rose to the sky.
“Right? “I knew that would happen.”
“How can you fool me like that?”
“… … yes?”
In order to kill Yeon Hwi-jun, he had no choice but to reveal his true identity.
However, it was too much to show that it was the second coming of the Heavenly God by even using nature guardians.
‘But it had to be that way.’
Seomrang’s guess wasn’t entirely wrong.
‘It’s better to have too much than not enough.’
Even after leaving this place, I had to make sure that the demons did not have any foolish thoughts.
If the ‘belief’ that has been passed down through the myth of the Heavenly God and the ‘fear’ of Jincheonma are combined, no one will harbor unnecessary greed.
‘But if there’s a guy who does something stupid, just beat him up.’
Jeong Gwang organized his thoughts and spoke calmly.
“What’s the point of revealing your true identity? “I am who I am.”
“No, but… … .”
“Noisy.”
Sigh!
“Ahh!”
Jeong Gwang fed honey chestnuts to Seomrang’s head and looked at Zhao, who was at the peak of enlightenment.
And he gave a request to the group.
“You’ll be busy for a while, so get some rest today.”
