Episode 165: Usa Jangho-kun (5)
Ma Cheon-so raised his hand and bit the black ghost bird.
Even if you rush in, you’ll end up dead.
Usagi said with the gaze of a predator.
“Little Leader. If you want to catch a tiger, you have to kill it by tearing its head off right away. If you try to fool me with letters and such, and if you continue to procrastinate like this… … you will be eaten.”
“I remember. Usama taught me that a long time ago.”
“Then you know what will happen now. Since I haven’t reached here, I won’t be able to clearly ask for my sins, and since there’s no one around to see, I just need the young cult leader to disappear. Where is the Iron Blood Demon? If you hand him over, I’ll let you go in peace without any pain.”
“Kuuuuu… … Haha! I’m so scared my legs are numb. Alright. Let’s do that. I’ll hand over the Iron-Blooded Horse.”
When Ma Cheon-so answered too readily, Woo Sa tilted his head.
One, the corners of his lips immediately rose.
Once you face yourself, there is no way out.
How many people can stand against a thousand mountains? It is different from soldiers who fight only with their heads and no strength.
There is no way the young leader wouldn’t know this.
That’s probably why he gave up.
“Where is Yun Mu-wan?”
“Let’s see… … They must be heading to Manmadong by now. Since the danjeon has been destroyed, it won’t be possible to last long if you go in.”
“what……?”
“You know, I don’t know martial arts, so it might be too late for me to bring you. What are you doing? Why don’t you go? Haha!”
“So… … Kyo… … Ju-!”
Usaga flew in, screaming.
A fierce blow is fired, tearing through the wind.
“Protect the young sect leader!”
Bisek shouted, but it was already too late.
The moment when Usagi’s fist was about to crush Macheonso’s face.
“Jeong Hee-ryeon.”
Paaang! At Ma Cheon So’s soft voice, Ilkwon’s momentum disappeared, leaving behind only a gust of wind.
This was also possible because he was a master of extreme magic.
If he had been just a single expert, Ma Cheon-so would have already become an unrecognizable corpse.
However, a leisurely smile spread across Ma Cheon-so’s lips.
“How did you get that name… … .”
“And you said Sojun. They say a respectable person goes to bed first. I guess Woosado was lonely too. He even hid his children.”
Usaga grabbed Macheonso by the collar and pulled him tightly.
And he said with a face like a yaksha.
“How do you know Hee-ryeon? Tell me the truth before I rip your mouth off!”
“Kuuuu, hahaha! Usagi, Usagi, Usagi… …! It’s not funny because you’re so stupid.”
“Inooooohh… …!”
“Do you think you caught me? Do you think you won?”
“what……?”
Usagi let go of his hand without realizing it, as he was struck by the eerie murderous intent.
Ma Cheon-so grabbed my collar and shook it, spat, and winked at Black Ghost.
Squeak.
Then the main gate of the Dogyeolwon opened, and the tragedy inside was revealed at a glance.
“Ah… … Ahh… … .”
Corpses overflowing. Blood spurting out.
The main building was torn and broken.
In the Dokyeolwon, a hellish picture was spread out.
Ma Cheon-so approached him, who was at a loss, with a sly smile, put her hand on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear.
“I have not forgotten Usagi’s teachings. How are you? Are you satisfied?”
“iced coffee…….”
“You have lived your whole life for the sake of the religion, so what is this, childish? Is this all you did to catch me, joining hands with the Presbyterian Church and spreading false rumors?”
“That… that is… that is… .”
“I wonder what my father would say if he saw this. Since when did your judgment become so clouded? I’m disappointed.”
“Ah, no… … . This is all for the sake of the Ming school… … .”
“Shut up and remember clearly, Usa. If you don’t kill the tiger in one go, it will just get eaten, but if you touch me, Macheonso… … not only the one who touched me, but everyone around him will be chewed up. Be it honor, family, or anything else. That’s the lesson I teach you, Usa. Haha!”
Usaga sat down with a thud, looking at the main building.
The ledgers that had filled his bookshelf disappeared completely, and the men he had brought with him died miserably.
If the generals were heading to Gwangmyeong Palace, it would be their own lives that would be put to death.
No, I’d rather die.
The gaze that the leader Ma Tae-pyeong would look at with all his emotions gone.
A situation will arise where you won’t even be able to protest.
I hated it so much that I wanted to tear my whole body apart.
Now I understand.
It’s not that we caught the cult leader, it’s that the cult leader was waiting for us.
He was the one who had to get down on his knees and beg.
If you want to save at least a little bit of your honor and the lives of your family.
“Hee-ryeon… … So-jun… … is he alive… …?”
“Not yet.”
“What do you want me to do… … ?”

At his desolate tone, Ma Cheon-so withdrew her smile and gave him a gaze colder than frost.
And he said bluntly.
“In accordance with one’s duty. In accordance with one’s conduct… … .”
Then he grabbed Usagi’s hair and pulled him towards him. Then he said with a predatory grin:
“Beginning.”
“Sigh… …. Heh heh heh heh heh!”
A melody of lament mixed with rage that reached its peak poured out.
Usa Jangho-kun.
As one of the five members of Gwangmyeong, he ascended from Cheonsan to the heights of ten thousand people.
He dreamed of a shining return, but what he got was a trip to the abyss.
By the leader of the sect, Ma Cheon So.
* * *
A day passed.
All the ledgers that had been obtained were organized and sent to Gwangmyeong Palace, and Jeong Hee-ryeon was imprisoned in Manma-dong together with Cheolhyeolsu-ma. And her son was taken from Salgung according to the teachings.
It was a predictable ending. The evil spirits screamed that they shouldn’t kill, but I turned a deaf ear to it.
Finally, Usagi… … .
“No, but Master Sogyo. What kind of nerve did you have? What were you going to do if Usagi spread some weeds? If you just hit him, he’ll go away in an instant.”
What should I do?
I chuckled and glanced at the black flames flickering behind me.
As if he didn’t have any particular expectations from the beginning, Yaryul Tak quickly changed the subject.
“By the way, why didn’t you kill Usagi? You said you were going to kill them all.”
“well.”
As Yul-tak said, Woo-sa was not killed.
Now that everything he has done so far has been denied, living will be a greater pain than dying.
“But that gentleman… … . He even got down on his knees and cried like a baby. I guess he couldn’t help it in front of his own child… … .”
Yul-tak trailed off with a sullen tone. Perhaps it was because he was reminded of his father, Princess Hyeolmu.
“Is that only because of infidelity?”
“sure?”
I chuckled and recalled yesterday.
Usagi cried like a child and fell into despair.
But I didn’t think it was just because of blood.
After crying for a long time, he muttered these words with his pupils open.
‘I… … I… … .’
Perhaps it was only then that he came face to face with his own miserable reality that he had wanted to ignore.
But there were still questions.
Even though Usagi wasn’t a very smart person, he just ignored the signs that were holding him back so nonchalantly.
Besides, the things he has done are incredibly childish.
The distribution was that small, and the person’s judgment wasn’t that clouded…
“Anyway, Master, are you going back to Somyeong Palace now?”
Yaultak’s words brought me out of my trance and brought me to my senses.
Sigh. Well, Usagi is just a loser who passed by on my path. There’s no need to worry about it or hold it in.
Now the future is up to the father.
I said calmly.
“There is still one left.”
“Again?”
“Where all stories begin.”
“No way.”
“Yes. It’s the Palace of Hwanhee. Next is there.”
There was no direct connection to the ledger, but it was clear that all the slander began there under tacit consent.
“Oh! That beautiful woman is as numerous as grains of sand! Hehehehe… … . Huh? But, you can’t go in there if you’re younger than 20 years old, right?”
“Oh? That’s good. Then you should go to the Somyeong Palace. It’s not good to be away from home for too long.”
“yes?”
He tapped Yaryutak on the shoulder and went outside.
“Ah… … Let go? But, Master So-ji. Surely you won’t kill anyone there, right? It won’t be possible on Myeong-haru. It will absolutely not be possible there. If you break even the rules… … .”
“Haha! Am I a slayer? If there’s no reason, then there’s no reason.”
“Yes… … .”
Yaryutak scratched his head and answered.
I smiled lightly as if to tell her not to worry too much.
Of course, unless there is a reason to do so.

Myunggyo Wolbong Myungharu
Words speak faster than feet.
Could there be a better word for this day, also known as the Palace of Hwanhee?
Myeongharu was a day when major events happening all over Cheonsan were sucked in and gathered together in less than a day.
So, if you ask where all the rumors come from, nine times out of ten, it leads directly to this place.
Some people took issue with this and tried to make an example of it by punishing those who were talking nonsense within the group.
‘No one can harm anyone within the palace without the princess’s command. This is the absolute law of the palace of joy.’
I was met with a backlash from the Biryeongdae that came down straight from the upper floor.
Because of this, Myeongharu had no hesitation in sharing stories.
However, this was all intended by the Palace of Hwanhee.
As the storytellers listened to the stories and brought them up to the upper floors, they weighed the pros and cons of the information, and the more valuable the information was, the higher it went.
It wasn’t much different from the upper floor where the nominees stayed.
There was always new news in the skirts of the gisaengs leaving the room.
If the news was judged to be so serious that it reached the seventh floor, then the Biryeongdae would directly determine the truth and use it when necessary.
This was the true power of the Palace of Hwanhee.
And today, too, new news was blossoming on the first floor where unrefined foul language was exchanged.
*“Have you heard? I heard from my brother-in-law that some people wearing black uniforms showed up at Wolbong not long ago. Their eyes were so fierce, they were terrified… … .”
“Isn’t your brother-in-law the biggest coward in the world? The whole world knows this, so why are you saying this all over again? Hahaha! Didn’t you just get startled by the crow?”
A raucous laughter erupted, and the first person to speak turned his head away as if he was frustrated.
Then he continued speaking with a serious face.
“That’s not it! The expression was real. And he went to where the Iron Blood Demon is staying… … Hasn’t there been less news about him lately? There must be something going on. I have a feeling.”
“Okay, next.”
As I looked around, the topic of conversation was suddenly about Maehyang’s skirt width.
He gulped down a glass of alcohol in a sullen mood and spoke irritably.
“This time, your expression was real? You were so scared that you couldn’t even make eye contact properly… … .”
“Stop it and have a drink. Even if it’s true, what’s the big deal? Did someone die?”
“No, that’s not it… … .”
“Haha! Then bring him over here! I’ll show you my true abilities on this railroad!”
When I hear it, it’s not wrong, but for some reason, my stomach keeps turning.
More than words, I couldn’t forget the look in my brother-in-law’s eyes.
The true horror of feeling death.
As a warrior under the command of Paljangro, it had been ten years since I had seen and experienced everything.
Those eyes are definitely real.
At the moment when I was about to open my mouth again, feeling frustrated.
“You can’t just go in here… … Ugh!”
Outside, Jeomsoi’s urgent screams were heard.
And then.
Ss …
As darkness spread, a series of groups entered the dark room with an ominous air.
Black-clad warriors with black hats and black lips, with a murderous look on their faces.
And the nobleman standing in the middle.
“uh……?”
“Really… … you’re here… … .”
It was the small sect leader Ma Cheon So and the Black Ghost Bird.
