Episode 166. The Master of the Hell Island (1)

Behind the collapsed wall, there was a space large enough for one person to pass through.

Seo Ha-yool rubbed her eyes briefly, thinking she had seen something wrong, and looked again, but there was definitely an empty space there.

“Prince Cheon, this is…….”

“…….”

“Is this really why you swung your sword like that earlier?”

In response to that question, Cheon Myeong-myeong put away his sword as if answering.

Only after he had put his sword back into its scabbard did Cheon Myeong-myeong open his mouth in a low voice.

“Let’s go in.”

With those words, Cheon Myeong-myeong entered the space that had appeared on the wall.

This time again, you are casually ignoring my words.

If it had been the original, Seo Ha-yool would have been angry at Cheon Myeong-myeong’s attitude, but now, Seo Ha-yool was more curious about what was beyond that passage.

Swish-.

Seo Ha-yool followed Cheon Myeong-myeong and passed through the gap in the wall.

When I went inside, the space seemed much wider than it looked from the outside, and it seemed like the road continued all the way inside.

‘Where the hell am I?’

It felt different from the path I’ve taken so far.

In the first place, doesn’t the very fact that there was a passage like this hidden behind the wall give off a suspicious smell?

If you keep going this way, there is something. Seo Ha-yool also instinctively felt that way.

‘Surely not this place… … .’

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Seo Ha-yool.

Up until now, Seo Ha-yul had searched all over the northern region in search of traces of Dosincheonma, but he had never thought to look for traces inside a tunnel like this.

Could it be that this is the reason why he has not found any trace of the Doshincheonma up until now?

If the traces of the Doshincheonma were hidden in these tunnels, he could immediately understand why he had not found anything until now.

Sus-.

The further inside we went, the stronger the beam of light became.

After a while, a wide space appeared at the end of the passage.

On one side, rays of light were streaming out in several directions through a crevice in the rock, and the light seemed to continue as a faint beam along the passage.

“……!”

Seo Ha-yool looked around blankly and was shocked when he discovered something.

Several rays of light streaming from cracks in the rock.

My gaze was drawn to that place for a moment, and upon closer inspection, I saw that someone was sitting there.

‘That’s… … !’

At first glance it looked like a person, but it wasn’t a person.

In the first place, wouldn’t it be strange for someone to be sitting inside a tunnel like this?

To be exact, what was sitting there was not a person, but a dead corpse that no longer had any life.

The corpse was so dried and twisted that it was unrecognizable from its former appearance.

Although he had been a Moknaei for a long time, Seo Ha-yul could tell who Moknaei was at a glance the moment he first saw him.

‘… Dosincheonma.’

It was definitely that guy.

You might wonder how he could be so sure when he didn’t even know her face when she was alive, but Seo Ha-yool didn’t think that way without any basis.

‘I’ve heard that there are many cases where the corpses of warriors with strong internal energy do not decay and are maintained like that even after death.’

Normally, after a person died, the body would rot.

Maintaining a certain degree of circularity in this way was generally impossible without special treatment.

However, in cases where the internal energy is strong, there are cases where residual energy remains in the body even after death and causes the throat to swell like that.

This is especially likely in cool, sunless places like today.

In other words, that person was a master with strong internal energy during his lifetime, and from the perspective of someone who had come all the way here in search of traces of Dosincheonma, I had no choice but to narrow down his identity to one person.

Swish-.

And one more thing. The knife stuck in the floor next to where Moknae was sitting was also one of the pieces of evidence.

‘I heard that the Tao of Dosincheonma is a deep red color… … .’

But the blade of the sword that was visible there now did not look red, but rather plain.

Does that mean that the true identity of that Moknaei is not Dosincheonma?

I thought about that for a moment, but it was also possible that the color had changed because the sword had rusted over time.

No matter how bright it is, if it is not managed for a long time, it will be impossible to maintain its original shape.

It was strange that it was still shining like new, since it had been almost two hundred years since Dosincheonma was alive.

‘…I finally found it.’

In any case, Seo Ha-yul was certain that the true identity of that Moknae-i was Dosincheonma.

Who would have thought that I would find traces of Dosincheonma in a place like this?

Seo Ha-yool’s eyes seemed to fill with excitement as he thought that he might be able to obtain the martial arts of the Heavenly Demon that he had longed for so long.

‘But how on earth did Prince Cheon find this place?’

I had forgotten because I was so excited for a moment, but it was not me who had come here, but Cheon Myeong-myeong.

Moreover, it seemed as if Cheon Myeong-myeong’s actions were certain that something would be here, making it difficult to call it a coincidence.

How on earth did Cheon Myeong-myeong get the remains of Dosincheonma… Seo Ha-yool turned her head towards Cheon Myeong-myeong as if to ask him about it again.

“……?”

But Cheon Myeong-myeong was not seen there.

Where the hell did you go while I was distracted by the neck pain?

Seo Ha-yool hurriedly looked around to find Cheon Myeong-myeong, and was able to find Cheon Myeong-myeong walking right away.

“…A thousand princes?”

Cheon Myeong-Myeong was approaching Moknae-i.

He stopped walking in front of where Moknae was sitting, then suddenly knelt down and began to bow.

A bow made with sincerity as if to one’s ancestors.

After one bow, Cheon Myeong-myeong continued to bow for the second time.

‘Is that… a second bow?’

I felt that way just by looking at Cheon Myeong-myeong’s appearance, except that there was no altar in front of him.

But why does Cheon Myeong Myeong practice cultivation towards Do Shin Cheon Ma’s Mok Nae Yi?

In the first place, Cheon Myeong-myeong probably didn’t know that Mok-nae-i’s true identity was Do-shin-cheon-ma… … . Naturally, Seo Ha-yul didn’t know the reason.

Swish-.

After bowing twice, Cheon Myeong-myeong stood up straight.

Within a few minutes, the steps began to move again.

Cheon Myeong-myeong approached Mok-nae-i and reached out his hand to the sword that was stuck next to him.

“It’s been a long time since we last met.”

“…….”

“The name of that sword is the Flame Demon Sword. It is my closest friend and family.”

Before long, a Gumado had appeared next to Cheon Myeong-myeong.

A deep longing felt in the gaze looking at the Tao.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yeomma-do was a precious existence to Guma-do that cannot be described in words, as they had been through life and death together.

“Yamado is calling you.”

As Gumado said, Cheon Myeong-myeong came here at the call of Yeomma-do.

Just like when he met the Wind Demon Sword in Madobigo, Cheon Myeong-myeong felt an inexplicable attraction and came here.

That would mean that Yeomma-do would soon call Cheonmyeongmyeong.

In response to the call, Cheon Myeong-Myeong grabbed the Yeomma-Do.

Swish-.

Although he had been stuck in one place for a long time, Cheon Myeong-Myeong easily pulled out the Yeomma-Do in one go.

Cheon Myeong-myeong silently watches the Yeomma-do held in his left hand.

After so long, the sword looked very rusty, but Cheon Myeong-myeong felt very familiar with the sword, as if he had used it many times, just like when he first held the Wind Demon Sword.

“From now on, I want you to be a friend and family member of Yeomma Island.”

“…….”

“It seems that even Yeomma Island is very happy.”

Gumado was saying the same thing that Seodaemun said when he first held the Wind Demon Sword in his hands.

A subtle echo that can be felt even in Yeomma Island.

Cheon Myeong-myeong quietly nodded his head to Gumado’s words.

Sreung-.

At that moment, a sharp metallic sound was heard in Cheon Myeong-myeong’s ears.

The sound came from behind.

Cheon Myeong-myeong slowly turned his head towards that place while holding the Yeomma-do.

“Put that path down.”

The sharp metallic sound was caused by Seo Ha-yool pulling out his sword.

Seo Ha-yool was already pointing his sword at Cheon Myeong-myeong and was warning him in a sharp voice.

“Your Majesty the Heavenly Prince knows why I came to the North, right?”

“…….”

“Put that path down and fall slowly. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to attack the Heavenly Prince.”

Cheon Myeong-myeong could immediately understand why Seo Ha-yul was showing hostility toward him.

From Seo Ha-yool’s perspective, she wouldn’t want to lose even a single thing that Gumado left behind.

In a way, it could be said that the ownership of Yeomma Island lies with Seo Ha-yul and the revolutionary army.

“What’s with that girl? Why is she telling me to put down my sword?”

At that time, Kumado spoke in a calm tone.

Even though Seo Ha-yool was the daughter of the leader of the Cheonmasingyo cult, from Gumado’s perspective, he wanted to hand over the Yeommado to his disciple, Cheon Myeong-myeong.

But how dare you threaten Cheon Myeong-myeong while pointing a sword at him?

It was only natural that Kumado would find that sight unpleasant.

“Master, I will take care of this.”

“…….”

“Don’t worry, I won’t hand over the Yeomma Island.”

“…Okay, if it gets taken away from you, be prepared.”

Kumado answers in a playful tone.

As Cheon Myeong-myeong nodded with a faint smile, Gumado quickly disappeared from sight.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t give you this sword.”

“…….”

“The person who originally owned this Tao wants it for me rather than you.”

What he said was true, but to Seo Ha-yool, it couldn’t help but sound like a joke.

Even in this situation, you’re just joking around lightly.

Seo Ha-yool raised her sword spirit with her eyes sharper than before.

“Cheon Gongja is a benefactor who saved my life twice. That’s why I didn’t want to fight like this.”

“…….”

“But the current Cheonma Shingyo needs the power to fight more than anything else. For that, I will fight the Heavenly Prince even if it means abandoning morality.”

“I have no intention of talking about morality here either.”

Swish-.

“The winner becomes the master of this path.”

“…….”

“In the unmanned world, there is no cleaner way than this.”

“…thank you.”

Seo Ha-yool expressed her gratitude in a quiet voice.

From Cheon Myeong-myeong’s perspective, isn’t this a situation where the sword is being pointed at the person who saved his life?

It must have been quite upsetting, but Seo Ha-yool was grateful that he spoke to her so coolly.

Woof-.

Cheon Myeong-myeong led the way as if he was going to battle on Yeomma Road.

An energy that instantly surrounds the sword.

Even if he had been armed with a sword, it would be difficult to fight with that old sword… … Seo Ha-yool had that thought for a moment, but he quickly realized that he was in no position to worry about Cheon Myeong-myeong.

‘…I have to give it my all.’

I already knew Cheon Myeong Myeong’s strength.

Even if he gave it his all, the chances of winning were extremely low, but Seo Ha-yool still couldn’t give up on this fight.

No matter what happens, you must take Dosincheonma’s martial arts with you.

Seo Ha-yool tried to move while strengthening her resolve inwardly.

Hwarurur-.

That was when.

Seo Ha-yool noticed the change that had occurred in Yeomma Island and her body froze for a moment.

‘That’s… … .’

The energy that has been rippling through the Taoist temple of Yeomma Island.

A deep red energy had settled there, as if the sword had been set on fire.

Whoosh-.

Cheon Myeong-myeong swung his Yeomma-do lightly in that state.

Then, the energy scattered violently into the air, and as if a sword had just been tempered, the pottery became quiet and the sword blade hidden within it became clearly visible.

“……!”

Seo Ha-yool couldn’t help but be shocked when he discovered the revealed Taoist god.

Clearly, the sword that Cheon Myeong-myeong had been holding was just an old, rusty sword, but now, as if it had never been like that, a shine flowed from the blade as if it had just been forged.

Moreover, that red sword blade looks like it contains a blazing flame.

When the Tao of Doshincheonma, which he had only heard of in stories, actually appeared before his eyes, Seo Ha-yul was extremely surprised and his mouth fell open.

“Prince Cheon……. What the heck are you…….”

Doshincheonma. Gumado.

Looking at the sight of Cheon Myeong-myeong holding the Yeomma-do, Seo Ha-yul felt as if he had manifested himself.
