Only Noblemtl
520. Hanbin becomes Jiang Taigong (6)
As Hanbin’s eyes lit up, Zanhyeol Ma-chang continued speaking.
“I think revenge will probably come first.”
“Revenge… … .”
“This is a group that tried to harm Soma-kun by binding him with the magic of the new religion.”
“Are you sure?”
Hanbin narrowed his eyes.
At this point, Hanbin thought of one possibility.
It was assumed that there was a person like the Dark Emperor who was trying to overthrow the Ten Great Sages within the Demonic Cult.
At that moment, Hanbin’s head turned violently.
Hanbin narrowed his eyes and looked into space.
It was because the advanced version of the Yongrin Sword Technique was shining.
[Advanced]
[… … ]
[Wisdom: twenty-four]
The number of lilies was decreasing.
Like other knots, the knots of the earth shrink when used.
Hanbin nodded quietly.
Now my thoughts are organized.
At that moment, Zanhyeol Ma-chang spoke.
“That’s for sure. Otherwise, the Cheonsan Blood Wolf that was supposed to be used to treat Soma-kun would not have escaped. And Soma-kun wouldn’t have suffered anything.”
“I’m sorry about the Cheonsanhyeolrang incident.”
“Why is Your Majesty the Envoy sorry about that?”
“I’m sorry about what happened in the Central Plains.”
“If you think about it, it was also the fault of the Bloodthirsty Demon. He couldn’t overcome the magic pain. The other name for the magic pain is Mahi (魔喜).”
“Maheera… … . This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
“You can’t control your emotions because of the extreme pain. Once you get past that point, you reach a point where it’s unclear whether it’s pain or pleasure.”
“So there was a reason for that.”
“The reason we have the nickname of ‘Janhyeol’ is because of that pain. As for Madou, he originally had a rather rough personality. So… … .”
Zanhyeol Ma-chang continued speaking as if he was telling someone else’s story.
His story was quite long.
After hearing the story, Hanbin asked.
“What are you going to do after the church affairs are settled?”
“Once everything is done, we will extend the previously declared seal. Perhaps for a hundred years.”
“A hundred years… … .”
Hanbin looked at Zanhyeol Ma-chang with a meaningful look in his eyes, his voice trailing off.
Hanbin wanted to know his true intentions.
The bloodshot eyes that met his gaze answered.
“It will probably not be even a hundred years before the new religion is restored. We will not hesitate to fight, but we have suffered too much damage to pick a fight with anyone. This is something the leader promised, Cheongunsashin.”
“Why are you telling me so much in detail?”
“Didn’t you save Soma-kun? And I heard you’re the face of the sect.”
“It feels strange.”
“Everyone says that Jeokryongdaehyeop is the pillar of Sapa and Cheongunsashin is the face of Jeongpa.”
“You’re not wrong. I believe you.”
“What do you mean?”
“I will believe what you say. I may not be able to help you, but I will not get in your way.”
Hanbin stroked his beard like a veteran martial artist.
“You have helped me just by saving Soma-kun. We, the members of the Demonic Cult, will repay kindness and resentment tenfold.”
“Ten times… … .”
“Will you also take revenge on the Bloodthirsty Demon?”
Hanbin had to check.
I said earlier that it was the fault of the Bloodthirsty Demon, but the grudge was a different matter.
“That grudge doesn’t exist.”
“… … .”
Hanbin tilted his head.
I couldn’t believe Zanhyeol Ma-chang’s words that resentment didn’t exist.
Didn’t you say with your own mouth a little while ago that you would repay kindness and resentment tenfold?
Zanhyeol Ma-chang continued speaking after seeing Hanbin’s expression.
“The Blood Demon is not dead. He is probably chasing the one remaining Heavenly Mountain Blood Wolf.”
“I heard he died.”
“No. It wasn’t just Soma-kun’s traces that I pursued all the way here. I also found traces of the Blood Demon.”
“I heard that he clearly died in Yeongdansan… … .”
Of course, I didn’t hear it, I saw it.
Zanhyeol Ma-chang continued speaking as if nothing had happened.
“This is the proof.”
Zanhyeol Ma-chang rolled up his sleeves.
A long red snake was tattooed on his forearm.
Upon closer inspection, I saw that it wasn’t a snake, but a tendon.
Red tendons running down the forearm.
Hanbin said in a low voice.
“It’s a scar of life and death.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I guess he is your sworn brother.”
Hanbin, disguised as the Envoy of Cheongun, stroked his beard again.
Engraving life and death marks was one of the rituals of the Demonic Cult.
Just as Liu Bei made the Peach Garden Oath with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the Demonic Cult members drink alcohol when they become sworn brothers.
However, instead of blood, they put a pair of loneliness called life and death insects into each of their glasses.
Of course, the life-and-death insects they put in their glasses are not poisonous.
However, the color changes depending on the life or death of the opponent.
If either one of them dies, the remaining larvae will turn black.
The pain they feel when they turn black is said to be beyond imagination.
It is said to be the pain of the devil that Zanxue Ma Chang is talking about now.
The signs of life and death are the changes in color and pain that can tell you about death.
The long red tendon located on the forearm is likely a scorpion.
The fact that the color is still red means that the blood demon is still alive.
It has not been confirmed whether Hanbin’s life and death traces can confirm the death of the other party.
In my previous life, I only saw the materials remaining in the Jeongui Maeng Library.
In fact, Hanbin was half in doubt about whether he was alive.
They fell into the river with swords stuck in each other’s stomachs.
It is impossible to survive in that state.
Of course, just because Hanbin is alive, there is no guarantee that he would have died.
Hanbin, who had been lost in thought for a moment, asked.
“Where do you think the Bloodthirsty Demon is now?”
“If you look at the traces, they headed north in search of Cheonsanhyeolrang.”
“If it’s the North… … .”
Hanbin looked somewhere.
Even though this was a closed room, I was able to figure out my bearings thanks to my excellent sense of direction.
The place Hanbin was looking at was where the Bukhae Ice Palace was.
Zanxue Ma Chang said after seeing Han Bin’s expression.
“As you said, it’s towards the North Sea Ice Palace. Perhaps the Cheonsan Blood Wolf, who lost his mate, instinctively headed towards the North Sea Ice Palace.”
“That could be the case. Then, are you going to the Bukhae Ice Palace, Ma-chang?”
“I think that’s what it should be. Just call me Ma-won, Envoy of Cheongun.”
“It’s Ma-won… … .”
“That’s my real name. I think it’s more familiar than my nickname, Zanhyeol Ma-chang, Cheongunsa-shin.”
The bloodthirsty demon Ma-won bowed his head slightly.
Then he glanced at Sogun.
Ma-won, who was looking at So-gun, seemed lost in thought and did not open his mouth for a while.
The little prince didn’t even avoid eye contact.
His eyes sparkled as if he was trying to recall lost memories.
Then Hanbin said.
“If you have any concerns, please tell me.”
“Can I leave Soma-kun in your care?”
“Can I ask why?”
“Somagun, whose spirit body has been broken, is no different from an ordinary citizen who has not learned martial arts. He probably won’t be able to withstand the cold winds of the north.”
“So you’re saying I should take care of it while you come?”
“Yes, please, Your Majesty the Cheongunsa.”
“Good. But!”
Hanbin, who had stopped talking, stroked his beard.
Ma-won said urgently at that sight.
“Go ahead. If there is a condition that I can meet, I will do it even at the cost of my life.”
“There is no need for life.”
After finishing speaking, Hanbin snapped his fingers.
In the blink of an eye, a story appeared.
Then, quite naturally, he opened the bundle containing the writing brush and ink in front of Hanbin.
Hanbin quickly picked up the brush.
Ma-won’s eyes widened.
Because the brush strokes looked like using a sword.
Hanbin’s brush tip showed no mercy.
It looked like the tip of the brush was trampling over the Korean paper.
While Ma-won was admiring it, Han-bin put down his brush.
widely.
Hanbin quietly held out the paper towards Mawon.
Ma-won was truly impressed by his handwriting.
Ma-won’s eyes, which had been appreciating the handwriting, grew wide to their limit.
He opened his mouth without realizing it.
Ma-won’s lips trembled as he let out a sigh.
“Is this the condition?”
“That’s right. If you can listen to this, I’ll take care of Soma-kun.”
“What the hell are you… … .”
Ma-won trailed off.
* * *
Two hours later.
They were enjoying the scenery in a pavilion about twenty li away from Gunjahyeon.
The name of this pavilion is Manhyangjeong.
It was a pavilion built by Geummirang of Manhyanggak.
Because it was located in a rather rugged terrain, there was no reason for pedestrians to stop by Manhyanggak.
There was a steep cliff behind, and a bamboo forest in front.
The occasional howl of a wolf seemed completely out of place in the neat pavilion.
The little prince couldn’t figure out why Hanbin had come here.
It seemed as if he was trying to tell time by quietly looking up at the sky.
It was clear that someone had arranged to meet him here.
But I couldn’t tell who I was waiting for.
Hanbin looked at Sogun.
“Don’t you regret it?”
“Just as Mr. Ma-won said, it seems safe here. If only you are okay with it… … .”
The little prince trailed off.
Hanbin nodded without any expression.
What on earth were they talking about?
At Manhyanggak, before signing Hanbin’s contract, Ma Won, the bloodthirsty demon, asked So-gun for his final thoughts.
Sogundo also said that he would stay by Hanbin’s side.
Then So-gun also signed the contract.
Hanbin saw Mawon’s bewildered appearance at that moment.
It is said that in the hierarchy of the Demonic Cult, the Sogun is right below the leader.
When Ma-won signs, any request he cannot grant can be replaced with his life, but when So-gun signs, he cannot do anything.
Hanbin asked again.
“When you say I don’t regret it, you mean I don’t regret signing it?”
“I have no memory of responsibility.”
The little boy laughed heartily.
Looking back now, he was just a child.
Hanbin stroked his chin and thought for a moment.
Because he looked happier now that he had not recovered from his mental illness.
At that moment, Seolhwa, who was standing next to him, grabbed Sogun’s cheek.
“I’m glad you didn’t leave.”
“Oh, sis. Don’t pull. It’ll stretch your skin.”
“You are still okay.”
“Sister Cheonghwa taught me that I need to be careful from now on.”
The little prince pointed to Cheonghwa.
Cheonghwa was biting into a rice cake with a happy expression.
That was when.
A terrifying force surged from inside the bamboo forest.
The momentum is getting closer.
Although there was no sound, an eerie wind could be heard blowing through the bamboo forest and reaching the pavilion.
At that momentum, everyone except Hanbin pulled out their weapons.
Sling.
Hanbin took a step forward and stopped them.
“Everyone calm down and step back.”
At Hanbin’s words, Seolhwa, Cheonghwa, and Sogun quickly took their places behind Hanbin.
As he got closer to Hanbin, his momentum noticeably subsided.
A new model is coming soon.
Seolhwa, who was at the back, cried out in surprise.
“Yin-Yang Twin Horses!”
At that sight, Hanbin put his index finger to his lips.
“fizzle.”
Seol-hwa, who was about to leap forward, lost her balance.
Seol-hwa, who was staggering, was caught by So-gun and Cheong-hwa.
It was a story that never lost its composure.
When she panicked, even Cheonghwa and Sogun’s expressions hardened.
Everyone looked at each other nervously.
The opponent was the Yin-Yang Twin Demon, the Yin-Ma Blood Girl.
