Chapter 467

Episode 467

“Are you out of your mind?”

“How long have I been asleep?”

“You were unconscious for about half a day.”

My accommodation.

Baekhyun Dojang, a man who struggled to raise his upper body, bowed his head and politely hugged me.

“Thank you for your help.”

“I’m glad you’re safe.”

“I never thought I would be saved by the Great Council.”

“I was worried we might be late, but I’m glad we arrived on time. “It must be that the Divine Name of Heaven and Earth protected Sohyeop.”

I said things I had no intention of saying and pointed out the pulse of Baekhyun’s dojo.

After moving the unconscious man to a dormitory, they injected condensed white lightning energy into his body to burn off all the poison.

He would probably be able to recover his health in just seven days of purification.

If I had helped him sooner in the first place, he wouldn’t have gotten poisoned.

“So how did you end up being falsely accused of being a demon and being chased?”

“It would be a bit long to explain the situation.”

“it’s okay. Please tell me everything. “I will listen carefully.”

“Actually...”

To briefly summarize Baekhyun Dojang’s explanation, it was as follows.

Five days ago, while he was returning to the temple after completing his work as a guard for the top tier, he met the chieftain of the chieftain.

The two people quickly became close friends as there were no empty seats in the restaurant, and the owner, who was sad about breaking up, invited Baekhyun Dojang to his house to rest for a few days.

Baekhyeon Dojang, who accepted the favor and visited the additional store, discovered an unexpected item there.

A famous sword used by the founders of the Hyeonsamun sect.

A few decades ago, as the power and scale of the green forest expanded, there was a time when the entire Jiangxi region suffered from measles.

Hyeonsamun was one of the martial forces that took the lead against bandits at the time.

However, at that time, the lost treasure of the clan suddenly popped out of the chief’s secret vault.

“At first, I tried to go to the chieftain of Chuga and ask him to hand over the sacred object. “I thought that if I paid enough price, the Lord of Chu would accept it.”

“From what you say, it seems like things didn’t work out the way you wanted.”

“yes. “After hearing that the owner of the property and I had been in and out of Vigo, the owner of the additional property began to show incomprehensible behavior.”

“What do you mean by incomprehensible behavior?”

“They issued a probation order for Sogaju and a banning order for me. “I was taken aback when the person who had treated me with a kind smile until the day before suddenly changed.”

I felt like I knew roughly how things were going.

Most likely, Chu Jangju obtained the treasures of Xuan Samun through dishonest channels.

In the worst case scenario, it was said that the cover-up was hastily started because they thought they might be questioned by the Presbytery.

The thief said his feet were numb, and it was just that.

“I tried to solve it somehow through conversation, but there was no way because he wouldn’t meet me at all. In the end, we had no choice but to take drastic measures.”

“extremes?”

“Actually, the rumors floating around are half true.”

“Are you sure you were trying to steal?”

“yes. What they tried to steal wasn’t Chief Chu’s family heirloom, and in the end it ended up being an attempt...” “I

don’t understand. Why did you do such a dangerous thing? “If only I had conveyed the news to the shrine, I would have been able to request its return at the sect level.”

“I wanted to do that too, but there were circumstances that prevented me from doing so.”

“......?”

“I have learned that the Chu Jangju is taking steps to sell the treasure of the text to Heuk City.”

This is what they call a terribly twisted situation.

As Baekhyun’s dojo, he could not help but feel a sense of crisis.

The problem was that there was no benefit from delaying the schedule any longer.

Originally, I should have set out on my journey to Anhui early in the morning, but I was already delayed for half a day waiting for Baekhyun Dojang to wake up.

‘...There’s nothing you can do. ‘Should I just give it a day or so to do this?’

I sighed softly and got up from my seat.

I felt like I had to be busy today to get everything done within one day.

* * *

Kwaaaaang!

With a light gesture, the chief’s front door shattered.

The warriors guarding the entrance ran out screaming.

Baekhyun Dojang’s mouth widened as he watched the scene from behind.

Even though it was something he had asked for, he had an expression on his face that said he had not expected that he would immediately use force like this.

‘There is no time to collect information step by step and prove the crime committed.’

It would have taken a considerable amount of time and effort to punish the Additional Chief in a standard way.

However, I had no intention of putting that much effort into this project.

Punishment first and proof later.

It would not be too late to postpone exposing the additional head’s mistakes to the world until after the manor had been thoroughly raided and evidence collected.

Is it okay to arbitrarily omit procedures like this?

Do you have the ability to do it?

I knew very well that what I was doing now had many potential problems.

But it didn’t matter.

Because I am confident that I can ignore a little noise.

To put it bluntly, my social status was much higher than that of the Chuga Jangju.

Even if the additional chief makes a formal protest against the mang in the future, it will not be that difficult to ignore it.

‘The only problem is that we don’t know how government officials who have a close relationship with the Chief Minister will react.’

I wasn’t too worried about that part either.

They won’t be able to unilaterally take the Chief Prosecutor’s side once the circumstances are revealed.

‘If you think the problem is going to get bigger, just send a letter to Seomun House.’

The warriors who flocked to me, drawn by the noise, drew their swords and stood guard against me.

Since it was not a military family or a family with great power like the Seomun family, the number of people was not very large.

I walked without stopping, as if ignoring their presence.

“Who are you?”

The warriors did not dare to attack me, so they took a step back and maintained a certain distance from me.

As I approached the three-story pavilion located in the center of the manor, a middle-aged man with a goatee greeted me with a frown on his face.

“Are you the head of the additional district?”

“I see. “Are you the Dragon King?”

“yes. “My name is Yeon-woon, the head of the Cheonangambu of the Murim League.”

The rumor that I had taken in a wanted man with a huge bounty on him had already spread widely throughout the area.

It was not surprising that the chieftain recognized my identity at a glance.

“I’m sure you can guess why we came here.”

“Well I don’t know.”

“I have some business to do inside the building, so could you please get out of the way?”

“Are you saying that right now? “This is my home.”

“I’m rushing the schedule, so I can’t give you much grace.”

“I guess this is why there are people who criticize the martial arts people and call them robbers. “Do you think your request is justified?”

“I’d like to ask you that question back to you. “Was it justifiable for Lord Jang to kill Baekhyeon Dojang here by accusing him of being a devil?”

“.......”
