Episode 363: We all made a promise together (2)
Munjong, the Black Snake Light Sword master of the Four Sects, guided the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters and continued to explain the situation.
The first place we arrived at was the flower garden behind the manor.
There, three bodies covered in straw were neatly laid out.
“Take a look.”
When King Munjong removed the straw bales, the bodies were clearly revealed.
Even though it had been a long time since he died, it was in a state of no decay due to special chemical treatment. Except for one place.
All of them had sunken red palm prints on some part of their bodies, and only that part was severely rotted and bruised. It was probably a sign of being hit by a red blood magic attack.
“Haa...”
A sigh came out of Yu Seol’s mouth.
Then, King Munjong noticed and asked carefully.
“Do you know them?”
How can you not know? They were the ones who had laughed and played together at the banquet hall not long ago.
The sight of people clapping their hands and liking their stories is still vivid in my memory.
“They are all my friends. What on earth did these guys do wrong? Why were you murdered?”
King Munjong spoke softly, pointing to the signs on the body.
“As you can see from the traces, the beast’s martial arts would have overwhelmed them. But why did they have to kill herbivores, which consumed a lot of energy...”
He trailed off, as if he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
Jinsan Yu, who was watching from behind, answered on his behalf.
“It was an attempt to test the power of the red blood magic against these people.”
“You’re saying they just... barely killed him for that reason? “My friends?”
Eugene San was able to feel his granddaughter’s emotions, even indirectly.
Anger boiling from deep inside, like lava about to explode.
There was clearly a lot of emotional turmoil.
However, if you want to do great things in the future, you must develop the strength to overcome all trials.
That’s why Yu Jin-san did not avoid answering.
“There are all kinds of crazy people in the world. There are especially many laws in Moorim. So you will see more of this in the future.”
After finishing speaking, Jinsan Yu took a quick look at his granddaughter’s reaction.
Instead of getting angry, his eyes became cold and subdued.
It was as if they were going to tear it to shreds if they caught it.
“I understand.”
The rumor was no longer unreasonable. I just calmly gave a simple answer.
On the contrary, Yu Jin-san felt goosebumps rising from such a calm appearance.
He shook his head and spoke to King Munjong.
“I’d also like to see the situation inside the main building.”
The main building of Gwisalmun was a large two-story building.
King Munjong took the lead toward that place again.
“Please come this way.”
As soon as he entered the palace, Yu Jin-san’s brow furrowed.
It was a sight to see what was going on inside.
There was damage everywhere, including pillars and walls, and there were traces of dried blood on the floor.
“I guess he’s a person who likes murder by nature.”
King Munjong nodded as if he agreed with what he said.
“Whoever the villain was, it seems like he had no purpose other than murder from the beginning. “Nothing was missing and there were no signs of trying to find anything...”
Unlike the outside, we were able to see some traces of herbivory inside.
The cut surface of the pillar was cut cleanly like tofu. And even the cracks in the wall caused by the river.
Yu Jin-san’s expression darkened as he looked at the traces everywhere.
‘Even if you’re not a Red Blood God, you’re not beneath me.’
It seemed clear that the beast was a fearsome expert.
Who on earth committed such atrocities?
“I heard that in addition to the Ghost Gate, several nearby sects also suffered.”
“That’s right. Black Tiger Gate and Jincheonhoe. And even the Four Dragons were wiped out in the same way.”
“They are all the forces of the Apostolic Alliance.”
King Munjong’s eyes flashed life for a moment, but then faded again.
“exactly. No matter how much I think about it, it seems like it was the work of the Murim Alliance, but there is no evidence...”
“Are you sure that Pa-in Jeong has learned the red blood magic? “That terrifying magic attack that was banned even by the Demonic Cult?”
King Munjong nodded without any hesitation.
“It’s entirely possible since they are sneaky bastards who will do anything if they feel disadvantaged. Besides, isn’t it strange that only the red blood divine skill’s secret rank was stolen? “It must have been hidden deep in the Yongdam Tiger Blood’s Jamryonggo.”
In fact, there was one suspicious person in Yu Jin-san’s mind.
An expert with a cruel personality who is stronger than himself but is gifted with the aura of an assassin.
But no matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t make sense, so I just kept it in.
“But who would do something like that? “If it is discovered that you have mastered magic, you will become a common enemy of the government.”
“Anyway, you have to keep your mind and body in top condition. “If you need anything, just tell me.”
“yea, I got it.”
Eugenesan had nothing to do other than wait.
Aside from the occasional snack or snack for my granddaughter, all I did was sit by the window in my guest room and get some fresh air all day.
On this day, I was just looking outside in silence.
“Baby, what’s wrong?”
Jinsan Yu was confused.
Before I knew it, my granddaughter came behind me and started massaging my shoulders.
“Just stay still.”
The granddaughter’s massage technique was so effective that it was comparable to an elixir.
All the stagnant blood in my body was pierced, and even my mental fatigue was completely washed away.
But for now, we need to save even the smallest amount of strength.
“It’s okay, so don’t waste your energy on unnecessary things.”
“no. “Grandpa, you can’t sleep these days.”
It was true. Lately, I haven’t been able to sleep properly at all.
Was it because he was facing a fight with his enemy? Whenever I closed my eyes, the faces of those who died first came to mind and I couldn’t fall asleep deeply.
“how did you know?”
“Why don’t I know~ I groan whenever I close my eyes. “My grandpa, you’ve worked so hard all this time.”
“...Are you having a hard time?”
Yoo Seol, who was massaging his shoulders, whispered softly into the grandfather’s ear.
“Thank you for raising me all these years. “Have you had a hard time alone?”
When did my only granddaughter grow up so much?
I never thought the day would come when I would hear these words.
Yu Jin-san’s heart was moved by an unknown emotion.
“What are you talking about. “It wasn’t hard at all, baby...”
“I’ll let you sleep well now. “We will defeat the Murim lord and relieve our grandfather of his resentment.”
“....”
Yu Jin-san couldn’t say anything more.
If I did that, I felt like my granddaughter would catch me crying behind my back.
Then how much more will you make fun of yourself?
But it was not a rumor that could not be noticed.
“Grandpa, are you crying?”
Instead of answering, Yu Jin-san stood up quietly.
Then he muttered as he trudged towards the door of the guest room.
“...These guys are fighting loudly and making a fuss when my granddaughter should be meditating. “I’ll come back after the expenses are resolved, so just wait a little bit.”
Suddenly-!
This was a two-story guesthouse with the upper floor serving as a guest room.
Eugene San opened the door to the guest room and first wiped away tears with his sleeve.
Then he stood on the railing and looked down.
Two groups of martial artists were continuing to argue, swearing at each other.
“Can everyone please lower their voices a little bit? “Screaming like that gets in the way of meditating.”
It was a voice mixed with profound inner power.
It was a quiet voice, but it silenced all the commotion in the room at once.
The martial arts people, who were so energetic as if they were about to draw their weapons, suddenly became quiet.
Naturally, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the railing on this floor, and Yu Jin-san, embarrassed, cleared his throat.
“Hmm! What are you looking at so intently? Then, everyone have a good time.”
It was at that time when Jin-san Yu was about to turn his back.
The martial people who recognized his face began to whisper.
“Isn’t this the Yang Kai Daehyeop!?”
“I guess that’s right?”
“Then you can’t say that the Great Necromancer is in that room?”
That was the beginning.
The commotion began to get louder, as if the guesthouse was about to collapse.
“Wow!!”
“Baek Gwang-ho from Sichuan meets the yin-yang twin monsters!”
“Please give Anhui Province the honor of offering a drink to Chu Yun!”
“I came from Guangdong Province for ten days and nights to see Yin Kai.”
I had a terrible headache.
How can I shut them all up?
But that doesn’t mean he can’t hit his granddaughter’s supporters.
After hesitating for a moment, the door to the room behind me opened.
And Yoo Seol peeked out his face through the crack in the door and smiled.
“Hehe~ It’s the last day, let’s play together.”
