Chapter 289

[Episode 94: He’s Back (3)]

“Killed by...?”

When a completely unexpected name was mentioned, I was momentarily speechless.

Absolutely desperate.

Among the wicked, he is the one whose ears are particularly stinging.

Countless people of all ages and genders died at his hands, and he was called the worst monster, so much so that even small children would stop crying at the mere mention of his name.

There are countless titles for him.

The worst butcher.

A bloody disaster.

Death God.

When everyone talks about this kind of desperation, there is something they say in common.

It is fundamentally evil itself.

-why?

Samachak, a Wolak sword, committed murder for revenge and punishment of evildoers.

Jang Moon-ryang, a demon assassin who killed hundreds of civilians and warriors while losing his mind due to a poison spell.

Aksimpapa Cheolsu-ryun has been targeting young women in order to cure their inability to have children.

The behavior of other evildoers tended to follow certain rules.

However, there is no clear purpose or will in his desperate actions.

-Are you saying there is no purpose?

There is no special purpose.

The only thing that stands out is that he has an aesthetics about murder.

-aesthetics?

One day, he suddenly appeared in a village in the northwest of Guizhou Province, killed all the civilians, cut off their heads, and built a tower.

Another day, he appeared in Shaanxi Province, killed hundreds of people, and created a pool filled with blood in the middle of the village.

-....You're crazy.

It's beyond crazy.

After the sect called Jechangmun, which was famous in Jiangsu Province, was exterminated, all of its eyes were pulled out, skewered, and placed on the main gate.

This isn't just one or two things like this.

-You did this and just left me alone? Isn’t it almost public level?

It's not a level, it's just an achievement.

The Yan Empire set an astronomical amount of money as a bounty for Jesim, and similarly, the Jeongdo Murim government wanted him with a blank slip.

There was even a connection between Gwan and Wulin for five years to catch him.

-But you didn’t catch it?

okay.

Among those who tried to catch him, no one survived.

Even if you try to track it based on the traces it left behind, it's not easy.

In the first place, he commits murder and leaves it behind like a work of art for everyone to see.

-......under.

Sodamgeom stuck out his tongue as if he was shocked.

I find it even more absurd that this incident happened.

‘I can't believe they killed me....'

There was an incident that occurred before it returned.

He single-handedly invaded the Shaman faction and killed Taegeuk swordsman Jongseon Jinin, one of the Eight Great Masters.

I had no idea something like this would happen because history has changed so much since then.

With this, I was sure of one thing. Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

‘Was Jongseon Jinin's purpose in the first place?'

Otherwise, there is no way something like this would have happened in a situation where even the movement lines were different.

It seems inevitable that he killed Jong-seon and Jin-in.

‘shit.'

In that case, there was a high probability that Iljon Unity Gang would also be involved in killing Jongseon Jinin.

I think I can make a full judgment only after hearing the entire context.

“How did that happen?”

Seongwon Cho answered my question.

“According to the information provided by the Wulin Federation, it seems that the incident occurred when Jongseon Jinin, who was stationed at the border of Hunan Province and Guangxi Province to elect a new Wulin leader, was returning to the Wulin Federation with only the Shaman faction’s guard swords.”

“It happened on the way back? But why did Iljon....”

“At that time, I think he attacked the Taegeuk Sword Festival, which was held by a small number of elites at our school.”

ah.

Did you take advantage of that gap?

Even if it were me, I don’t think I would miss that opportunity.

“It was Ilzon who led that small elite.”

“It’s not just that.”

“then?”

“It is said that a blood cult leader wearing a demon mask also appeared. Maybe...”

“Baek Hye-hyang!”

The only person who would wear a demon mask on my behalf and act as the leader of the church was Baek Hye-hyang, the vice leader.

You can send someone down there, but it was really like her.

He probably went out in person to compete with him, one of the eight great masters.

Her inaction in the face of a wall would certainly have helped, but I feel uneasy because I have heard the consequences of what has already happened.

“Are there any other saints who have come forward?”

“Given the mention of a muscular man wearing gauntlets and gaiters made of black iron, it seems that Hwang Kang, a 5-year-old bloodthirsty tyrant, also stepped forward.”

One superman, two supreme masters.

At this level, it was enough to kill Taegeuk Sword Emperor Jongseon Jinin.

“So what happened?”

“It is said that the Taegeuk swordsman and the shaman swordsman who were attacked by those from our school fought a battle. “The swordsmen of the independent faction were also top experts and competed in the swordsmanship, so it was said that it was somewhat tense at first.”

“I wouldn’t have been able to last that long.”

“yes. It is said that Taegeuk Geomje, which was attacked by Hyeolgyoju and Iljon, is starting to fall behind. “It looks like it was quite dangerous.”

“I guess so.”

No matter how superhuman he was, he was attacked by people with similar abilities.

If it continues into a long-term war, it will inevitably be pushed back.

“Then he appeared.”

“...Desperate murder.”

It appeared at the perfect time.

Are you saying that you gave up your pride and stubbornness because of the persuasion of the former leader?

There seems to be something going on, but it was difficult to know just from the information I heard.

Still, I think you would know this if you became the vice-lord.

“Is the vice-lord’s faction the one who insisted on finding the right place to kill?”

“yes. As you said, the group that supported the Taegeuk Sword System joined the side of the Yeolwangpaedo, which became the vice-leader, so the Murim Alliance is now divided into two factions.”

In any case, the Moorim Federation that is now moving south to our school is at half strength.

And the new leader, Musangdo, is led by Jeongcheon.

Fortunately, Yeongyoung was not involved in this war, but even without looking, it was clear how he would react if damage occurred to the Hyeongsan faction.

‘It's an all-out war...'

One way or another, conflict with the Hyeongsan faction was a foregone conclusion.

In this situation, it is impossible for them not to be harmed.

It's really embarrassing.

“Then, is the vice-lord’s side currently tracking down the assassin?”

“It seems so. “But there is almost no progress.”

“That’s a good thing.”

“yes?”

Even from the perspective of the martial arts league or the shaman faction, a person with a passion for murder may be an enemy, but I also can never forgive the person who killed Iljon.

“If you find him in the open, let me know first, not the Wulin Federation.”

“.......The intelligence group of the Open and Martial Alliance is already tracking him, but he has disappeared. “There is not the slightest trace.”

Did he just achieve his goal and disappear?

It's the same as back then.

Even before his return, he was said to have disappeared for eight years, but he suddenly appeared, killed the Taegeuk Sword Emperor, and then disappeared again.

It was several years later that it reappeared.

Until then, I had no intention of leaving him alive.

I can't touch my person and let him breathe comfortably.

“...Lord...May you live.....”

“Ah.”

I was holding on to the life I couldn't control.

Since it was right in front of me, I guess it was difficult to handle Jo Seong-won's life.

-But they said they couldn't find anyone. How are you going to find that crazy guy? Are you saying that even if the imperial family or the martial arts league tried to search for it, they couldn't catch it? Any clues?

‘......doesn't exist.'

-Did you know anything before returning?

does not exist.

One day, the murderous Jesim suddenly appeared in the martial arts world as if it had suddenly fallen from the sky.

I don't know if it's because he's careful or if it's just the way it is, but he doesn't have any personal relationships with anyone, so he has no connection whatsoever.

There's almost no one I see that I haven't killed...

Ah!

-what's the matter?

There is just one.

-what is that?

It was something that even embarrassed Haeakcheon, his teacher.

The god of all things possessed the sword of murder and cruelty.

-uh! Is that right? Even that crazy old man was very embarrassed when he saw that.

okay.

Master is not afraid of any strong person.

Even when the ten kings saw Jingyun up close, their fighting spirit burned.

But I still remember the look in his eyes the moment he saw the badge of devotion.

At that time, I too was just surprised.

But now that I think about it, the fact that God of All Things had that guy's card meant that he had a connection with him.

“Cho Seong-won.”

“yes.”

“Find righteousness in all things.”

“Why are you suddenly so faithful in everything?”

“......Find it first.”

In response to his question, I thought about telling him that the God of all things has a sword of absolute determination, but I didn't say that.

Since we are utilizing open human resources, it seems necessary to prevent even the slightest information leakage.

-But will the God of all things tell you? When I saw you before, it seemed like you were quite stubborn.

As Sodamgeom said, he has faith in everything as a lawmaker.

He also told me that he would never tell anyone anything about the patient's personal information.

However, there was one way to get him to open his mouth.

-what is that?

The death penalty tablet of faithfulness in all things that my maternal grandfather had.

Mansa Godui wanted to know the whereabouts of the death penalty, so he said he would grant any request if he brought the badge with him.

Originally, my maternal grandfather tried to restore the Danjeon with the help of Mansa Shinui, but his whereabouts became unknown, so he eventually taught him the Zen Cheonsinbeop method to practice the middle and middle Jeon.

I will tell my grandfather about the situation and borrow the badge.

“Then what are you going to do, my lord? First of all, isn’t work at our school urgent?”

Of course it is.

Because the power of the Murim Federation is moving south toward our school.

“I have to go to the main school right away. Before that...have you heard anything related to the Shaolin Temple?”

The reason I ask this is simple.

If rumors had spread about what happened at Shaolin Temple, he would have known about my fate, but he didn't know yet.

“Shaolin Temple? Shaolin is largely uninvolved in worldly affairs.”

As expected, they were still unaware of what had happened at the Shaolin Temple.

There may be one of two reasons.

Either they are doing their best to prevent what happened at Shaolin Temple from spreading out for the sake of their reputation, or they arrived here faster than Jeon Seo-gu because they flew straight to here by sword flight.

It didn't matter what it was.

“Immediately report this information to the headquarters of the Murim Federation and the forces moving south.”

“What do you mean?”

“The Hundred and Eight Arhats of Shaolin Temple were destroyed by the leader of the blood religion.”

“Yes?”

As soon as those words came out, Jo Seong-won was astonished.
