Chapter 333

Episode 333:

I expected it to some extent.

Maybe the Demon Cultist knows that I have returned.

Nevertheless, I felt embarrassed when the person in question directly asked me questions to confirm.

‘I didn’t know you’d ask this out loud.’

The source of the oracle bone discovered in the deep part of Bidong is Magyo.

To be exact, it was a temple that only the religious leader could enter.

『What can I do in this life... I can’t protect...』

『Respect...my mother, my dear sister...even my lover.』

『To the past. Stone... This time, we must save everyone....’

Words written in Muyeongsintu’s handwriting that seem to hint at a return.

The thief who stole it also knew the value of the item, but there is no way that the original owner, the leader of the previous generation, did not know that.

The demonic cult leader of the time must have also heard stories about divine objects from his teacher.

Usually, secrets of that kind are passed down from generation to generation.

Additionally, there were many aspects of the actions I had shown that could not be explained without the assumption that I ‘know the future.’

In a way, it was natural for the religious leader to be convinced that I was a regressor.

‘First of all, I know a few things for sure.’

I learned something new.

Things that were ambiguous became clear.

The oracle bone that Muyeongshintu stole is a sacred item of the Demonic Cult.

And the reason I returned was because the power of the divine being was revealed.

‘There are still many things I don’t understand.’

After calming my agitated mind, I tried to pretend to have a relaxed expression and spoke.

-I don’t think there’s any reason to give an answer.

-There is no need to hide it. I’m not asking because I don’t know anything. It’s just a courtesy check.

-If you answer my questions first, I may be able to give you the answer you want.

-Are you daring to bargain with me?

-There is no reason why I, who am not even a witch, should be treated like a subordinate by the cult leader.

-Even if you are like that in your current life, you must have been a demonic cultist in your past life.

-.......

-good night. I will admit that you have the nerve to show such an attitude even though you know me well. What are you curious about?

-Is the sound ghost alive?

I thought it was strange.

This is because Ak Yeo-ryeong, who had mastered the Cheonjicheongjuk (千里地聽術), did not join the fight against the White Bone Demon Emperor until the end.

The fact that the religious leader appeared here meant that one axis of the siege had been breached.

What if there was an evil spirit in that direction?

The worst assumptions crossed my mind.

As I suppressed my nervousness and waited for an answer, Master Ma spoke in a humorous voice.

-You can rest assured. Because I’m not dead yet. Because I was also pressed for time, I wasn’t able to finish it clearly.

-......Does that mean she was seriously injured?

-If you’re lucky, you might be able to survive.

I chewed my lips and strengthened my hand holding the sword.

She was said to be the weakest of the Ten Heavenly Emperors.

Even if the White Rangdae had supported him, there was no way he would have been able to fight on equal footing with the Demon Cultist.

-Now it’s my turn to ask a question. I’ll ask again. Did you return to the past using our school’s new items?

-That’s right.

-Looking at the way I treated patients who fell into mental illness, it seems like you were my disciple in a past life. Is that correct?

-you’re right. I was selected as the fifth disciple.

-Why did you betray the religion and turn to the side of the Baekdo martial arts group?

-I don’t think it’s right to say that I betrayed you. To begin with, I have never felt a sense of belonging or affection for an organization called the Demonic Cult.

-Why did you join the church?

-He was taken by demons from Oewon disguised as slave dealers and thrown into Jamma-dong.

-Right. I roughly understood it.

Master Ma rubbed his chin and nodded.

The reason I obediently answered his questions was simple.

Most of the time, the other person will probably guess it anyway.

The leaves of the trees fell from the trees and the plants on the ground withered.

The warriors of the Hwangbo family, who were slowly moving and forming a siege, were frightened and took a step back.

-Where should we take a look at the skills of those who are suitable?

Coooooo!

The moment Master Ma took a step, a loud noise erupted and the entire mountain shook.

It was a force that could not be compared to the advance that Hwang Bo-gak stepped on a moment ago.

-Please don’t disappoint me.

* * *

I muttered as I leapt backwards to avoid the hand that suddenly invaded the gap.

‘Anyway, things in this world never get resolved easily.’

They said it was the mountain beyond the mountain.

After defeating the White Bone Demon Emperor, it was time to face the Demon Cultist.

It was not difficult to guess how the cult leader arrived here.

The reason he appeared on the front lines in Hebeuk was probably to focus the attention of the Baekdo Martial People there.

While the world’s attention was focused on the battlefield, he must have moved across Hanam alone.

‘There are degrees of boldness.’

The goal from the beginning would have been to rescue the White Bone Demon Emperor and Sima Xuhuan.

Because the method was so unconventional, no one noticed his intention.

How could anyone have predicted or prepared for something like this when the ruler of the Demonic Cult came up with a plan to enter the realm of the Shaolin Temple alone?

It was a strategy that only Ma Cyoju, the greatest expert in the world, could come up with and execute.

‘I was wondering why he suddenly appeared on the battlefield.’

It wouldn’t have been that difficult to find the locations of the White Bone Demon Emperor and Sima Xuhuan.

The martial artists who flocked to build Cheonnajimang would have served as a milestone.

‘It seems like it was quite urgent.’

The inaction of the Demonic Cult, which was shrouded in mystery, was revealed to the world.

From the Demonic Cult’s perspective, the loss was not small.

Looking at it another way, it also meant that Ma Jyoju highly regarded the value of Sima Segaju.

‘Dividing people into small pieces became toxic.’

The monster that could not be defeated even if the entire chase team rushed at it was the Demon Cultist.

I didn’t think that the number of people gathered in the vacant lot would be enough to deal with him.

Casualties were already pouring in.

Even though he and Hwang Bo-gak were working together, Ma Gyo-ju looked relaxed.

He didn’t even look tired, let alone hurt.

Kwaaaaang!

The barrage sent by the Demon Lord shattered a rock one foot tall.

I narrowly avoided it and muttered with my eyes shining sharply.

‘It’s not just a bad situation.’

At first glance, it seemed like a crisis, but if you look at it another way, it was also a golden opportunity to kill the Demon Cultist.

Cheonnajimang was currently spread out in this area.

If the martial arts people who sensed the unexpected situation and forced a war of attrition, even if they were the best expert in the world, they would not be able to withstand it.

‘Until then, as long as I somehow keep the cult leader tied up here!’

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

A torrential downpour of rain fell.

It was a technique that Hwang Bo-gak liked to use, and he knew its power well because he had experienced it firsthand.

Surprisingly, Master Ma fought back by walking through it.

Whoops!

Hwang Bo-gak hit something invisible and flew through the air.

It seemed like he was quite shocked, as he let out a suppressed moan.

“I’m disappointed.”

Ma Cyoju’s low muttering.

Ku-kwa-kwang!

An explosion occurred out of nowhere and engulfed me where I was standing.

The ground was deeply dug up and a cloud of dust rose up.

Hehe!

I came out of the pit, spitting blood and phlegm, and fell into a sob.

Even though I was prepared in advance by wearing self-defense gear, I was unable to completely relieve the shock.

‘...Can I hold on?’
