Episode 680 Where am I! (5)
“Hmm.”
Jang Il-so smiled lightly as he looked at the four leaders approaching him.
This place is a volcano.
And now he was facing the heads of the four world-famous sects right in front of him. Even behind him, the elders of the nine factions and the five generations that rule the world are following behind him.
Anyone who defines themselves as belonging to evil will be in a situation where they cannot help but feel numb.
However, Jang Il-so did not feel any sign of hesitation, let alone nervousness.
His expression and hand gestures were full of leisure, as if this was the front yard of everyone’s room.
When Hyeonjong looked at him like that, a slight strangeness appeared in his eyes.
His lips were slightly distorted as they touched each other. However, his expression made it difficult to guess what he was thinking. Finally, Hyeonjong slowly opened his mouth.
“You… … .”
“… … .”
It was a calm voice, but no matter how much I tried to stop him, the power was immediately drained from Hyeonsang’s body, which didn’t seem to listen.
“There is a lot of snow.”
“… … “Ungeom.”
Hyeonseon’s eyes looked at Ungeom’s face and then turned to his empty sleeves.
Because of those Maninbang bastards, Ungeom lost his arm and was on the brink of death. If it had been just a little bit wrong, he wouldn’t be here right now.
However, such luck is once again dissuading the phenomenon. Feeling like his insides were burning, Hyeon-sang bit his lip and glared at Jang Il-so.
Of course, it was not only the phenomenon that showed hostility toward Jang Il-so.
All of Hwasan’s disciples were glaring at him with their hands on the handles of the swords on their waists. It seems as if he would rush over and cut off Jang Il-so’s head if his name were to fall.
The deadly force spewed out all at once by the determined disciples of Hwasan was enough to scare even the middle school students. However, Jang Il-so, who received the murderous attack with his whole body, reacted angrily.
“You never know.”
He tilted his head and clicked his tongue as if he really didn’t understand what was going on.
“It means that we are the ones who suffered damage in the war against volcanoes. Because of that incident, Maninbang was humiliated to the point where it was embarrassing to even show his face, and Hwasan was on a roll thanks to the reputation he gained back then… … .”
He shook his head.
“I don’t know what’s so objectionable that you’re so angry. Do you have to be this harsh to be called a Taoist? Hmm.”
Hyeonjong slowly took a deep breath.
Every word Jang Il-so said broke his composure. But now he is not just standing here as a volcanologist. He was the leader of the Cheonwoo Alliance.
so… … .
Hyeonjong lifted both hands and stretched them forward.
“See the ark of all people.”
Then Jang Il-so also looked at him and gave him a hand.
“Nice to meet you.”
After a brief greeting, Hyeonjong asked Jang Il-so with a friendly smile.
“It is indeed a long distance from Maninbang to here, so how did you find the volcano?”
Then the corner of Jang Il-so’s mouth suddenly twitched.
“I guess the reason is obvious.”
“… … .”
“Of course, I came here to celebrate the opening of the Cheonwoo Alliance.”
“… … congrats?”
Jang Il-so nodded loudly.
“This Jang Il-so is not a great person, but he prides himself on not being a small person. “When something big like this happens in Gangho, there’s no way not to celebrate!”
“… … .”
“Bring it!”
“yes!”
As soon as Jang Il-so said anything, the warriors of Maninbang, who had been guarding his back as if he were guarding him, came from behind, carrying something.
‘Chest?’
There were three chests in total on their shoulders, and they seemed to be quite large. The middle school students were unable to hide their curiosity and slowly raised their heads to focus their attention.
thud! thud! thud!
The chest, which was large enough for one person, landed on the floor with a loud noise.
“Open.”
“yes!”
As soon as the order was given, the Maninbangdo members opened the lid of the chest and flipped it open.
“oh!”
“Mmm!”
At the same time, moans and exclamations erupted from the mouths of the middle school students.
Treasure.
What first caught their attention was the treasure filled in the chest on the far left.
Dazzling gold and colorful jewels filled the large chest. The amount was so enormous that even the elders of the old group, who prided themselves on finding a treasure, could not hide their embarrassment.
“next.”
“yes!”
Before the shock had even subsided, the second chest opened. Faintly suppressed moans escaped here and there.
“Sigh!”
“Uh, that… … .”
It was full of treasured swords whose sharpness you could guess without even having to pull them out.
‘… … ‘You’re a new recruit!’
‘Oh my god, that’s as much as me.’
‘It is said that the wealth of all people will reach the sky and cover the earth…’ … .’

If we were to consider value alone, the treasure in the first chest might be more valuable. However, for warriors, a treasured sword is something that cannot be valued in monetary terms. Moreover, isn’t the treasured sword something that there is no way to obtain even if you pay a thousand gold?
But to bring such things in such a large chest… … .
Slurp.
Maninbando, standing in front of the chest, lifted the treasured sword placed on top and pulled it out lightly. An exclamation came out of everyone’s mouth at the sight of the day that was revealed.
At first glance, it is not an ordinary treasured sword.
The middle class swallowed their saliva and looked at the third chest. Since the two chests I opened first were so huge, I was curious about what was in the last chest.
Jang Il-so confidently spoke as if he would not betray those expectations.
“Open.”
“yes!”
The lid of the chest was opened roughly. Then an indescribable clear scent penetrated the noses of the middle school students. From that alone, everyone knew what the contents of the chest were.
‘It’s an elixir!’
‘That’s all… … .’
Dry needles go away.
These are items of unimaginable value. If it weren’t for the Maninbando that surrounded that chest, some of them might have already run out there. A greed that could not be hidden was shining in the eyes of the middle school students. My heart started pounding uncontrollably.
“It is a gift to the Cheonwoomaeng faction.”
Jang Il-so looked at Hyeonjong with a relaxed smile.
However, King Hyeonjong looked at the wealth shown by Jang Il-so and sighed quietly as if he was troubled.
“I appreciate the ark’s intention, but it seems a bit excessive for a gift from a sect.”
“charge?”
Jang Il-so twitched the corner of his mouth as if he had heard something funny.
“Lord. “I am Jang Il-so.”
“… … .”
“A gift like this is not too much for me at all. Rather, it is not enough to express my thoughts about Cheonwoo-maeng.”
It was not that important how Hyeonjong accepted those words. The most important thing was that this scene struck the middle school students very strongly.
“furthermore… … .”
Jang Il-so smiled wryly and looked at the elders of the five generations and the nine families standing behind King Hyeonjong.
“Congratulations that only come out of words are not true congratulations. If you truly want to celebrate, you have to give up something that is regrettable. “Isn’t that natural?”
Empty! Empty! Empty!
As soon as Jang Il-so finished speaking, the chest lids closed again. The Maninbandos pushed the closed chest right in front of King Hyeonjong.
“What do you think? “Is this enough to convey how sincere my congratulations on the opening of the Cheonwoo Meng faction are?”
Hyeonjong looked at Jang Il-so in silence.
Jang Il-so burst into laughter at that unwavering gaze. Then she spoke softly.
“Look, leader. “Isn’t it funny?”
“… … .”
“Even though Maninbang suffered great damage due to the volcano, they came all the way here and presented us with gifts. However, Jang Mun-in of Hwasan, who benefited greatly from the guest, cannot forget his personal grudge and rejects the guest.”
At Jang Il-so’s words, the faces of Hwasan disciples were cruelly distorted.
“Still, as the leader of the Cheonwoo Alliance, you will be able to embrace the factions under your command.”
“You bastard!”
Cheongmyeong shouted, unable to contain his boiling anger. Even Baekcheon, who would normally have been the first to dissuade him, remained silent this time. No, he grabbed his sword again, spewing out an unprecedentedly cold, deadly force.
Jang Il-so’s mouth curved even further.
It was blatant ridicule.
The word Anhamuin is probably used in situations like this. Although he said he came to celebrate, his tone and actions were met with mockery and ridicule.
The reason why such wanton behavior seems truly justified is because Lee Ja-ja is Jang Il-so.
‘… … big.’
Baekcheon chewed his lips. From just a moment ago, it felt like my whole body was being crushed.
Baekcheon does not know how cruel or strong the author is.
However, I was able to fully feel the immense pressure that I had never experienced before. Just by standing there, Jang Il-so weighed down and listened to the countless people gathered here.
It was truly an overwhelming presence.
‘… … That’s defeat.’
There have been quite a few people who have intimidated Hwasan’s disciples with their names and reputations. However, Jang Il-so was clearly the first person to take my breath away with just his presence.
‘Even the Bishop of the Demonic Cult can’t compete with his presence alone… … .’
My hands were shaking. Baekcheon slightly shifted his gaze and saw Cheongmyeong’s back standing one step in front of him.
His back didn’t even move.
What is Cheongmyeong thinking now?
At that time, Jang Il-so spoke again.
“I came to see how great Huashan and Chen Yu-meng are, but all I see is disappointment. Ha, I lost interest.”
He slowly looked around at the people holding their breath, only casting a wary glance. The only ones who didn’t have the courage to look at Jang Il-so were the only ones who dared.
“I’m going back.”
It was at that time that Jang Il-so snorted and was about to turn and walk away.
“Congratulations… … .”
“… … .”
Hearing a soft voice grab him from behind, Jang Il-so kept his body still and turned his head slightly to stare at Hyeonjong.
“It won’t be with your mouth as the Ark said.”
“Hoo?”
It was a calm voice without the slightest emotional disturbance.
Although he is said to be a scholar of volcanoes, until recently he was merely a scholar of a third-rate sect. The fact that such a person was looking directly at him like this caught Jang Il-so’s interest.
“So, I would like to ask.”
“… … .”
“What do you want to see, Commander?”
Hyeonjong’s eyes, sunken like a deep lake, and Jang Il-so’s eyes, burning like wildfire, intertwined in the air.
“… … “Not bad.”
Jang Il-so nodded loudly.
Then he turned to King Hyeonjong and spread his arms as if he was delighted. There was a jingling sound of the trinkets hanging against each other.
“Did you ask me what I wanted?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm. What you want… … .”
A meaningful smile appeared on Jang Il-so’s lips.
“How about something like this?”
“… … ?”
“All of us… … .”
The alluring red lips parted slightly.
“If I said that I wanted to become Cheonwoo Meng’s brother, what would you do?”
An eerie energy and chilling silence descended on the volcano, as if a sharp blade had been held to its throat.
