Return of God (2)
“Dolbang, Chilgeommun, Bukyangmun… … .”
The names of the clans came out one after another from the subordinate soldiers’ mouths. These were the names of sects that had recently been exterminated.
“The bodies were all in a state where the blood and moisture had dried out.”
From the moment he first received the report until now, Galsaryang’s expression was completely frozen.
I knew who did it. It was Cheon So-seon that Byeokridan was chasing. After Li Dan went missing, he was openly committing his killings.
The Murim Alliance tried hard to catch them, but it was not easy to track their whereabouts as they kept coming and going.
It was hard to find, but catching it was even harder.
Even if he had figured out his whereabouts, dealing with Cheon So-seon was such a master that it would not have been easy to deal with him.
To kill him, at least fifty elite members of the Order of Destroyers would have to be mobilized. Of course, there was Baekpyo on this side, but Cheon So-seon was one of the three most powerful men in the world. Moreover, he may have a hand-to-hand ability that surpasses that of Cheon So-seon.
The situation that Gal Sa-ryang is most worried about is Baek-pyo and Cheon So-seon’s plan to form a two-party alliance.
In particular, Baekpyo was gritting his teeth to prevent Cheon So-seon’s atrocities, so if he met him, he would rush in to kill him at any cost.
One way or another, Galsaryang’s worries could not help but deepen.
The soldier who was reporting carefully brought up another issue.
“Stories related to the Lord are emerging around the Senate.”
Gal Sa-ryang’s expression suddenly hardened. This is because there is no way that good words could have come out of the Senate, which has always been at odds with the leader.
“What is the story?”
The subordinate hesitated to report and then cautiously opened his mouth.
“I am of the opinion that a new leader should be elected.”
Boom!
Gal Sa-ryang hit the desk.
“Damn old men! The fate of the leader has not yet been confirmed, so what is a new leader? “Have we collectively become senile?”
Anyway, they were old people who were of no help in life.
“Who is the instigator? Is it Seobok?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Even when Byeokridan was appointed as the leader this time, he took the lead in opposing it. Afterwards, when Byeok Ri Dan was the leader, he could not even make a loud sound, but as his disappearance became prolonged, he began to slowly make improvements. What is this treacherous and cowardly way of living?
“It appears that about a dozen senators have agreed with him.”
“You trust those pathetic old people and pull a trick like this?”
Since he still controlled all other armed groups except the Senate, it was not difficult to suppress the Senate.
The problem was its appearance. In the current situation where the leader is missing, it would seem like infighting would lead to internal strife for him to attack the Senate. Therefore, from Maeng’s perspective, it was a burdensome situation in many ways.
The reason Seobok did this was because he knew this very well. However, in this situation, he had to make sure to address the internal divisions.
“Currently, who is the person in the Senate who has the worst relationship with Seo Bok? “Is it still a sheep?”
“Yes, that’s right. “I don’t have a good relationship with Yang Ho-jung of Hanam Xinchang.”
The fact that the two became dog lovers was not something new.
“Make an appointment with him secretly.”
“all right.”
“And make an excuse to tie Seobok together.”
“yes. All right.”
After making Yang Ho-jung truly one of our own, we plan to attack Seo-bok at once. If he is pushed hard for rebellion, even the elders who supported him will not be able to come forward and make a fuss. If you give strength to Yang Ho-jung, he will take care of things on his own.
“And the emergency level of Meng is raised to White Tiger Level.”
White Tiger was just below Blue Dragon. The Blue Dragon Spirit is an emergency issued when preparations for war begin, so in reality, it is the highest level of emergency.
As the subordinate soldiers retreated, Gal Sa-ryang looked at the large map hanging on the wall. There were dozens of flags planted on the map. This was where the exterminated family was located, and the flag was gradually coming down from the north to the south.
The amount of brown rice was known. The final destination of that flag is the Murim Alliance headquarters.
‘Lord, where on earth are you?’
* * *
The moment I opened the door the old man had opened and entered, someone grabbed my wrist and ran as if he had been waiting for me.
“Let’s run!”
I ran with him in a hurry.
Papa pa pa pa paak!
Dozens of strands of steel flew into the spot where I was. The door through which the person entered was cut off by the river and disappeared, and the place was also instantly devastated.
Quack quack quack!
It was not a power of ordinary power. In terms of strength, it was a strong performance performed by quite a few experts.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A series of terrifying attacks chased after us. They were different from the previous ones, but it wasn’t just one or two attacks, and their power was also unusual.
“Now, over there!”
I jumped straight off the cliff with the man.
Boom!
The edge of the cliff we jumped off from was shattered by the river.
I was obediently following the will of the man leading me. I felt that he was kind to me, so I just did as he asked. I didn’t know who he was, but that didn’t mean I could be on the side of those who wanted to kill me.
I felt the energy flying behind my back. Their attack did not give up until the end.
The man shouted as he was falling at an alarming speed.
“Over there!”
I could see the entrance to the cave on the opposite wall below.
I used a light attack and flew the new type into the cave. Fortunately, my physical condition remained the same. My strength and memory were the same.
In other words, he was in the state of being the best person in the world, in a state of great power. However, when I used light attack, my internal energy was consumed significantly more than usual.
Whirring.
I flew lightly through the air and landed at the cave entrance.

“It’s done. They can’t chase us all the way to this cave. “It’s a kind of safe zone.”
“Who on earth are they…” … .”
The next moment I was speechless. I finally saw the face of the man who came with me.
The man looked at me and said.
“It’s a familiar face, right?”
I nodded slowly.
“It will probably look like the face of the person you hate the most at this moment.”
The man’s face was none other than Cheon Ha-jin’s face.
It was Cheon Ha-jin, in other words, my face during the time of the Murim Lord. A face filled with the arrogance of being the best in the world and the pride of sacrificing for the sake of the world. I was stubborn and extremely frustrated. That’s what I hated the most about myself.
The man added.
“At the same time, he is someone I miss a lot.”
“You miss me?”
“I can feel your love and hate in this face. “Whose face is this?”
He doesn’t seem to know who his face has turned into unless he looks at it.
“Me from the past.”
“okay.”
The man nodded as if he understood everything.
“who are you?”
“I am your guide for this exam. You can just shorten it and call it ‘An’, or you can call it guide or guide.”
Actually, it was my face. What does the title have to do with anything? He might not even be human.
“The test is rough.”
What kind of test would be attacked right after it starts, along with the test guide? Just by looking at this one thing, I could understand the nature of this test. I also got an idea of how difficult it would be to pass.
“Who are those who attacked us?”
“This is the Black Demon Army.”
The next obvious question.
“Then is there also a white horse?”
Then the guide gave an incomprehensible answer.
“They are also the White Horse Army.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means that if you become a demon, all the demons here will be loyal to you.”
“Then killing them would mean killing my future subordinates.”
“Yes, but you don’t have to worry at all. When they die, they are reborn again. They are beings who repeat endless reincarnation until a demon is born. As soon as you die, you are immediately reborn as a dark demon. It is their fate.”
In other words, it also meant that there was no use in killing him.
“Where is this place?”
“It’s a place called the Demon World. “Even in the Demonic Sutra, there is a place where there is a entrance to the gods.”
“How can I finish this test?”
“Please follow me.”
He took me and took me into the cave.
There were colorful murals on the walls of the cave. The history of the demon world and the battles between the demon gods in the beginning were portrayed very clearly.
I paused for a moment at the picture of the three gods intertwined and fighting.
There was also a dark god that I killed. Of course, it was completely different from what I had dealt with. Because I dealt with a dark god residing in the body of a dark target.
The three gods in the picture are symbolic beings. Dark gods, blood gods, and demon gods are all evil gods that dwell in humans. It was an evil created by humans, an evil grown by humans.
The man waited for me. He, in the form of Cheon Ha-jin, gave me a really strange feeling.
Because I was guiding myself.
Maybe it was as if he was making it clear that all of this was his choice.
After following him for a while, we came into a large space. It was similar to the beautiful cave in Seonhakbidong, but it felt a little darker and more barren.
There was a clear pond in the middle of it, and a field spread out around the pond. Flowers and trees were growing in the fields.
“As I said before, this cave is the only place where demonic forces cannot enter. Therefore, it is the only place where you can rest. In particular, if you go into that pond, you can heal your body’s wounds. It is a place called Sosaengyeon (甦生淵), where all external and internal injuries are healed. “If you fail the challenge and can come back, try to recover in the resuscitation kite.”
“How strong are the Demon Lords?”
“It’s very strong. “If you compare yourself to human experts, you will be in big trouble.”
It seemed like I would have to fight in person to know exactly how strong it was.
Again he took me deeper.
There was an entrance on the other side of the cave. Looking from the edge of the cliff, I could see a castle very far away. I looked at the castle in the distance. It looked so big even though it was so far away, it was truly a huge castle.
Between this cliff and that castle, there were various terrains that seemed like obstacles. There were forests, swamps, villages, and mazes.
“The test is simple. “You will pass if you reach the top of the castle.”
“Can’t we just fly from here?”
“I can’t do that. Can you see the starting point over there?”
There was a small door that could be seen as where it began.
“From the moment you enter that door, you cannot use light attack. No, you can use it. However, the moment you use light energy, you need tens of times more internal energy than usual, and as the duration increases, the internal energy consumption increases several times again. In the end, you won’t get far before you run out of strength and end up in big trouble.”
You may not know, but there will definitely be incredibly strong things waiting for you on the way there.
“When can I take this test?”
“You can do it right now. If you can’t fight, come back here and try again. If you go back through the starting point, the test will start again from the beginning. “The demons that were killed will also be reborn as they were.”
In other words, the moment you entered and exited through that entrance, everything started again from the beginning.
“You must not force yourself to come back carelessly. If you try to come back, you could end up in more danger. Conversely, you should not overdo it because you feel it would be a waste to proceed. Please use your best judgment.”
The man explained the crucial reason as if warning me.
“Don’t forget. “If you die here, you really die.”
