Episode 429: Our Only Hope (1)
“He patrols around Dunhuang every morning, but he has never been this late.”
Hwang So-cheon could not give a clear answer to the Yin-Yang pair who asked about the whereabouts of Geom-hoo.
Then Yoo Seol asked with an ominous expression.
“Maybe something happened to your sister?”
“We just hope it’s just rain.”
“Ha....”
You go out in the morning and there is no news until evening? There was no reason for her to be away for this long.
Yu Jin-san spoke calmly to calm his worried granddaughter.
“I think Grandpa will be back soon, so let’s wait a little bit. “I took Darong with me, so nothing bad will happen.”
Darong’s speed was so fast that it could not be compared to anything else in the world.
Therefore, according to common sense, being surrounded by enemies could not have happened.
“I guess so?”
It was then. Beyond the horizon, I could see a sandstorm waving like a haze.
At the same time, I felt something approaching this place at great speed.
“it serves him right. “I think I came at the right time, so let’s go.”
If a tiger as large as an elephant came here, there was a risk that Dunhuang residents sheltering here would faint from shock.
Therefore, the yin-yang pair went forward together with Hwang So-cheon towards the place where the sword master was approaching.
Tat-!!
The distance became closer in an instant, and they met about 300 miles away from the lakeside.
“Where have you been, sister? “I was worried because it was gone.”
Geomhu jumped down from Darong’s back and approached with a smile on his face.
For some reason, she seemed to be in a very good mood.
At first glance, it seemed to bring some good news.
“Thank you, Seol-ah. I think we can relax now. “It’s all over.”
“What are you talking about? “You know how many bad guys there are in Dunhuang right now.”
Soso shook his head and comforted Yu Seol’s shoulder.
“Now they are all retreating to heaven. “My sister is on her way to check it out.”
Jinsan Yu reacted calmly, as if he had guessed it to some extent.
However, Hwang So-cheon, the commander of the Geumgun Army and leader of the Changryongdae, appeared very surprised.
“What do you mean by that all of a sudden? “They’re retreating?”
“It’s because there was a disruption in supplies. “It’s all thanks to the activities of the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters here.”
“Is that true!?”
Huang Xiaotian, who had been lying in a hospital bed with his subordinates for several days, did not know the details.
Soso summarized and recited the merits of the Yin-Yang pair.
“yes. Most of Dunhuang’s logistics depots are on fire and everyone is exhausted from the continuous raids. Moreover, since follow-up supplies did not arrive, it was probably an inevitable choice.”
Moreover, since this is a barren desert, there would be limitations in procuring it through looting from the surrounding area.
Hwang So-cheon seemed to be relieved of his tension and sighed in relief.
At the same time, an awkward smile appeared on his face.
“haha. Such a miraculous thing...”
At that time, Yoo Seol whispered something into the grandfather’s ear.
“Have you ever seen Grandpa?”
“What do you mean?”
“That guy’s smiling. “I thought I was an emotionless person.”
“That’s right. “There’s a lot going on.”
As the commander-in-chief of the military and the leader of the Changryongdae, he was a person who carried a heavy burden on his shoulders.
Maybe that’s why he was a person who was more insensitive to emotions than anyone else.
It was very awkward for him to smile like that.
“Thank you for your hard work. “I will definitely report the performance of the two of you to Your Majesty.”
There was no way he would like it if the conquering army that left under his orders returned again. It might have been something that would have made him very angry.
“Aren’t Arhats going to come with them when they invade again?”
“Maybe so. So, my sister and her colleagues are planning to attack Arhat in Heaven.”
“Five people?”
“huh. But... I’m not confident that I can win even if I do that. Still, you should try.”
I couldn’t understand the rumor.
How strong is Arhat that even if such experts fight together, they cannot guarantee victory or defeat?
“Shall I help you too?”
“No, just in case something goes wrong... Seol, please complete the Unwritten Lion God’s Work in the meantime. “Maybe that’s our only hope.”
She had made the same request before.
However, until now, Yu Seol had not dared to do so because he did not have time to leave.
“I know, sister. That’s why I came here. “Let’s make time to practice.”
“So you planned this whole situation?”
Yu Seol shrugged his shoulders with a smile on his face.
“Well, you could say that.”
At that moment, Soso, who had a serious face, burst out laughing.
“When did you grow up so confident? “Now Seol is much better than you.”
“Hehehe. “Trust me and leave everything to me.”
“Good good. “Then will you please take care of Darong until we see each other again?”
It seemed like it would be a burden to take a prominent divine beast to heaven.
There was no reason to reject the rumor.
“huh. “Why don’t you hang out with me for a bit before you leave?”
It seemed like it was a shame to part ways like this.
Soso looked at Yu Seol’s sideways glance at the lakeside and immediately realized what he wanted.
“Ho Ho. “How did you know that you like playing in the water?”
The two began walking happily toward the blue lakeside, shining like jewels.
Meanwhile, leaving those two behind, Yujinsan and Hwanghwacheon were walking across the lonely desert land.
In the quiet silence, Yu Jin-san was the first to open his mouth.
“I’ve been thinking a lot about it. “What should we do with Changryongdae, who was involved in the extinction of our Confucian head?...”
Changryongdae was also a force involved in the extinction of our family.
Although the Murim Lord’s plan was the fundamental cause, they were also not without responsibility.
However, the Changryongdae had put off revenge for a while until they stopped the invasion of their common enemy, Cheonchuk.
“As I said last time, I regret what happened to the head of the Yu family. “I can’t forgive you, but I want to sincerely apologize.”
Yu Jin-san slowly nodded his head in response to the expected answer.
“I know everything. “There was no choice in your life from the beginning.”
“What do you mean?”
“The day our family was destroyed. “If my granddaughter had been kidnapped by the Changryongdae, what do you think would have happened by now?”
“He probably became a member of the Changryongdae and was kidnapping someone else. “Just like us...”
The practice of such inheritance was currently broken. This was because the yin-yang twin monsters had stolen all the children of the next rider.
“What a strange fate. Our family too. And all of you.”
“Does that mean you will forgive us?”
Yu Jin-san, after gathering his thoughts for a moment, answered with a meaningful look on his face.
“I don’t feel like it, but I don’t think I will blame Changryongdae any more. “Not because you are pretty, but because of our granddaughter.”
By executing the Murim lord who was ultimately responsible, the family’s financial support, which was a burden on his mind, had already been thrown away. That is why we were able to make this decision.
At that time, Hwang So-cheon’s eyes gazed intently at the setting sun beyond the horizon.
For some reason, the corners of his eyes seemed moist.
“...I have always envied the ordinary life. “In my next life, I want to be born as your grandson.”
At that moment, Jinsan Yu swallowed the air as if he was speechless.
This guy who I thought was serious also knows how to joke.
He was contemplating whether to say a word, but soon shook his head.
