Don’t get lost in the dark (3)
We shared the joy of victory and reunion.
The people who had the greatest joy of victory were by far the Byeok clan’s inspector and Song Jajang’s warriors.
Compared to the relatively elite Black Panthers, this fight was much more dangerous for Byeok Clan and Song Jiajang warriors. So, of course, the joy of winning was great.
Experienced people like Seo-jung had experienced many battles, but among the younger swordsmen, there were many who were experiencing battle for the first time. They will probably brag about this fight to their new juniors for a long time.
My father and Song Woo-kyung also gained experience dealing with great masters such as Jeok-yo and Blood Sword Master. It must have been the first time in both of their lives that they had achieved that level of expertise.
My father said to me with an emotional expression.
“Thanks to you, I survived.”
“No, father.”
“I didn’t know you could use Igigeo Kenjutsu. In fact, I still can’t believe it.”
“Thanks to my teacher’s great teachings, I was able to reach the level of swordsmanship.”
Then Song Woo-kyung intervened and said.
“How can swordsmanship be achieved with only the power of the person who teaches it? Above all, it is because your martial arts skills are outstanding.”
My father nodded at Song Woo-kyung’s praise. In any other case, I would have humbly said that the poor kid was lucky, but this was different.
“I’m so proud.”
“thank you.”
As military officers, it was natural for my father and Song Woo-kyung to be thrilled. This is because swordsmanship was the last level that an ordinary warrior could think of.
My mother, who was watching this with pride, came up to me and hugged me tightly.
“Good luck, my son.”
I hugged my mother tightly without saying a word.
What need I say?
If we shared the joy of victory like this, there was also the overwhelming joy of reunion. Baekpyo met his wife and son for the first time in a long time. Even when Mr. Byeok was interrogated, he postponed reuniting with his family.
“father!”
Myeong-i felt strange seeing his father’s mood change so much. But when Baekpyo opened his arms, he ran and fell into his father’s arms. Baekpyo was thrilled to see his son growing up so much.
In front of him, his wife, Jeong Young, smiled at him.
Baekpyo’s heart was pounding.
“honey.”
Because he always steadfastly protected me from behind, I was able to live freely according to my own ideals and will. She was so grateful to her.
Baekpyo walked over with long strides and hugged her tightly.
“Thank you.”
Tears flowed from Jeongyoung’s eyes.
What more do they need to say?
Baekpyo hugged his wife and son tightly.
He thought about the people he had to protect behind his back while fighting against the West Bulpae. There were the last two most precious people to protect.
I was watching it. Baekpyo even postponed reuniting with his family to protect me. He is the one who protects me, but I am the one who has to protect Baekpyo and his family.
Must become stronger. Because only strong people can protect everyone.
Then someone held my hand.
When I turned around, I saw Song Hwa-rin standing side by side, holding my hand tightly.
“I’m glad everyone is safe.”
“okay.”
Everyone was silent. Sometimes, when the joy is so great, there is no need for words.

“It seems like a blood seller was hit.”
Upon hearing the report from the Dark Vision, the Dark Vision’s expression completely hardened.
“You feel like you got hit?”
“We have completely lost touch with her.”
In Gangho, and especially in such a large organization, the loss of news from those who went out to kill someone mostly meant one thing. It was annihilated.
“Didn’t the blood seller say that he had summoned all his subordinates this time?”
“That’s right. I know that they took Danwol, Jeokyo, Hyeolru, Seobulpae, and even Li Baek’s blood sword.”
“You got hit somewhere?”
“yes.”
The dark subject’s expression changed every moment. Disbelief, bewilderment, anger and fear emerged one after another.
“It’s truly a nightmare come true.”
When Yasi closed after two days, I thought that maybe this was expected.
However, I had faith that a blood seller would be able to handle this matter well.
The object of darkness sighed and stood up. I walked to the window and opened it wide, but my heart felt increasingly tight.
“Who on earth are we dealing with?”
“According to the blood seller’s report, wasn’t it said to be the Byeokridan of the Shandong Byeok Clan Gate?”
“They were all bullied by a shabby bastard from a remote village in Shandong?”
“I guess that’s not all. Where do we live with my face?”
“He’s a guy who hid his identity?”
“Or it could be Jamryong who will overthrow Kangho.”
The problem was that it was not just Byeokridan. Cheon So-seon and Cheon Wang-gun had disappeared. These two men were also men of formidable skill.
Moreover, the Murim lord, Majeolgun, was aiming to find and eliminate the forces behind it. After he became a target of darkness, the worst crisis is unfolding.
“What would you like to do?”
When the object of darkness made no reply, the object of darkness spoke.
“There is only one way. We must step forward ourselves. You must ask the Dark Ten Merchants to produce the most trustworthy experts.”

What the Dark Vision said was true.
But then, even if things are done properly, you will no longer be in a position of darkness. Let alone becoming the next target of darkness, he had to resign from his current position.
‘shit.’
That was something I wanted to avoid. Since they have been in the dark for a long time, the new dark target will do whatever it takes to get rid of them as they are a thorn in their eyes.
The dark ideal persuaded the dark object again.
“The survival of the underworld depends on it.”
But what good is that when you’re dead?
The dark ideal knew the inner thoughts of the dark target better than anyone else. How much he clings to the position of a dark target.
That’s why I wanted to stop it. If things continue like this, everything will really fall apart. That was something he didn’t want either.
The dark target just stared out the window, still unable to make a decision.
＊＊＊
We left Shandong and returned to Hubei.
In a situation where my identity was exposed, there was no need to insist on the answer at the Byeok clan checkpoint. There was a need to fight more flexibly.
I sent my mother and Jeongyoung to a safe house on the island.
Since it was a place that no one knew about, it was absolutely safe if you stayed there.
This time, the blood sellers immediately invaded Shandong targeting our family. It would be terrible what would have happened if I hadn’t come here knowing in advance.
I asked Song Hwa-rin to ensure my mother’s safety.
“Please take care of your mother.”
Song Hwarin obediently accepted my request.
“Okay, I’ll take good care of you.”
The two became very close after having a fight with their mother a while back. Of course, even if that hadn’t happened, she wouldn’t have refused my request.
She wasn’t what she used to be. She fully realized how dangerous the enemies we were dealing with this time were, and how foolish it was to put personal feelings first when dealing with Kang-ho’s affairs.
Of course, there were things that bothered me. Because Baekryun and Lim Yeonjeong were there. Plus my mother and Song Hwarin. It was literally a moment when all the women around me came together.
After sending them to the island, Gal Sa-ryang and I started a new task.
First, a new safe house was prepared far away from Wuhan. This was a kind of strategic base to fight enemies.
It had to be difficult to break in and easy to escape, and there was one place that was just right geographically. It was there that the military office closed due to financial difficulties.
I bought it right away. If we had a small number of people, we could buy a small manor, but now there were too many people to accommodate.
For a place that could accommodate a large number of military personnel without being revealed to the outside world, a military officer was the perfect place.
This time too, under the command of Gal Sa-ryang, a dark giant was installed outside the military office. Since I saw the effectiveness of the formation method this time, I planned to install the third formation method perfectly.
While the camp was being installed on the outside, new construction was underway on the inside. They began building a building that could accommodate all people.
No money was spared for construction. Because he used his own manpower, there were no rumors about it outside.
The Black Panther Corps soldiers who were deployed to set up the Jinbeop and the swordsmen who were assigned to the internal construction knew all about it. How important is this right now? Thanks to this, the work progressed very quickly.
＊＊＊
I was sitting cross-legged in the private training room used by the head of the military attaché.
Other people might think I was eating fortune-telling, but I was meeting the Heavenly Demon by creating a Heavenly Qi Heart Hwan-gong.
In the meantime, I was so busy rearranging the interior and decorating the safe house that I couldn’t have a proper conversation with Cheonma.
Then, it was only today that the two met face to face.
[I should also say thank you to Duke Cheon Gi-sim Hwan.]
[I’m saying this now, but what would you have done if that blood seller hadn’t been dragged into Cheongisimhwangong?]
[Then you must have found another way.]
[You’re good at making comfortable noises.]
[ha ha ha. Anyway, you succeeded, right?]
I still vividly remember the moment when the blood seller came to the same place. At that time, the Heavenly Demon screamed, but now that she thinks about it, she must be quite humble and embarrassed.
[You must know this clearly. Since the opponent was someone who used hexes, I was able to lure him into Cheongisimhwangong.]
[Isn’t it because Cheonkisimhwan-gong is a magic-gong?]
[yes.]
It was because of the compatibility between magic and sailors. Fundamentally, swordsmanship is weaker than magic swords, and the martial arts used by the blood seller was a witchcraft that reached its peak to the point where it could literally be said to be the end of witchcraft. On the other hand, this is the Heavenly Demon’s magic attack, which can be said to be the pinnacle of magic technology. That compatibility worked properly.
[Use with caution from now on.]
[of course! It’s not just your life that’s at stake.]
[Well, from my family to my subordinates… … .]
[not! Me. This means that my life is also with you!]
[haha.]
Of course, I knew that was what he meant. I just wanted to make fun of it after seeing it for so long. In this respect, Cheonma accepted my prank very well.
[Let’s have a drink.]
[I already prepared it. For our Cheonma who likes alcohol.]
I brought the bottle of alcohol that I had prepared nearby.
Although Cheonma was happy to see the drink, she also rolled her eyes.
[If you just look at me, you are quite ignoring me. When dealing with me, it’s not like a heavenly devil… … What can I say?]
[Treat me like a friend?]
[okay. That’s right. You bastard, am I your friend?]
[It’s good, right? If we stay like friends.]
[crazy! I’m not a friend!]
The Heavenly Demon made a fuss, but why would he hate it so much? I feel so happy because I feel like I have a friend with whom I can share my deepest feelings.
[If I teach you the demon spirit skills, they will ignore me even more, right?]
[Do you have any plans to pass it on?]
[You agreed to do it. The Heavenly Demon never breaks his promises.]
[Thank goodness.]
At that time, surprising words came out of the Cheonma’s mouth.
[I will teach you the magic of the demon spirit.]
There was sincerity in his eyes and expression.
I really want to do it. I thought I would pass it on someday, but I didn’t think it would be now. It’s a quicker decision than I expected.
[Why did you make that decision?]
[This time, I thought you were too weak to be able to do it.]
I chuckled as if I was dumbfounded. Well, I even made you scream.
[let’s go.]
[Let’s go? Where?]
[To learn the magic of the demon spirit.]
I could tell. Demonic spirit training is not something that can be learned simply through nine skills. It seems that you can only learn it by going to a specific place.
[How long does it take?]
[I can not know. It could be over quickly, or it could take months, years, or a lifetime.]
In fact, leaving now was a burden. A new safe house was being built here in Hubei, and it was unclear what the forces behind the loss of the blood seller would plan again.
[why? no?]
[No way? let’s go.]
If it doesn’t work today, it won’t work tomorrow either. When an opportunity arises, you must rush to seize it. If you put it off there is no end.
I feel. The demon spirit is fatefully connected to me. It was a feeling I had felt since I first heard about the demon spirit from Cheonma.
[Instead, let’s go once the primary formation of the dark giant is created. You’ll wait that long, right?]
[Sure.]
On the day that Mirozin was completed, I left the rest of the work to Gal Saryang and Baek Pyo and left the military building.
[Hey, say you won’t come back again and leave! What kind of peace is this at our age? Let’s just tell you guys to take care of it and go out and play with me. Let’s have a drink with beautiful women in a place with a nice view!]
Will that day ever come? It’s a future that even I’m curious about.
Well, anyway, now is the time to go learn the demon spirit.
[So where is the destination?]
Then the Heavenly Demon answered briefly.
[Fujian Province, Wuyishan.]
martial arts,
