Return to the Immortal’s Tale Episode 422
The Broken Ones (2)
Kookookookookook!
From behind, Kang Min-hee was chasing after him, and from the side, a snake was sticking out its tongue and making a suspicious-looking suggestion.
I looked at Seo-hyul.
I know this guy well.
A liar who only tells lies no matter what happens.
That was the identity of the person named Seo-hyul.
‘but….’
I just can’t refuse it.
Information about the body of Seohyul.
And the grace period that can be obtained by sending Kang Min-hee outside the light limit.
These were things that could not be ignored.
Things that are too valuable to be dismissed as fraud.
‘I see. The reason why the monster would always cut off Seo-hyul and attack him whenever he opened his mouth was probably because even the monster would be drawn into his intentions if he listened to Seo-hyul’s suggestions.’
I glared at the guy, my voice dripping with laughter.
But since the guy was blind, there was no such thing as a staring contest between me and him.
After thinking for a moment, I nodded.
“Okay. I’ll accept it for now.”
[Thanks for this, Dou.]
“But there is a condition.”
I said, glaring at Seo-hyul.
“First of all, if it’s as you said, we should join forces to bring the monster back to his senses, right? In the process, you should act remotely, out of my sight.”
If that bastard met with my colleagues and brainwashed them with his dirty scheming, I would be furious.
What if your colleagues are turned into Seo-Hyul by Seo-Hyul?
Plop-
Just thinking about it makes my teeth grind.
I couldn’t afford to lose any more of my colleagues so easily.
If something like that happened, I wouldn’t be able to control my anger, I wouldn’t be able to control my reason, and I didn’t even know what I would do next.
‘Perhaps I will lose my mind and just keep reciting the correct Dharma-destroying mantra until the Lord of Mount Tai descends.’
At my words, Seo-hyul smiled and nodded.
[If it is necessary, I will follow. Don’t worry. Anyway, until I find my true self, I will have to rely on my wife and Seo Do-woo unconditionally.]
“… .”
The fact that there are only two choices in the first place means there is no trust between us.
A very dubious and suspicious alliance.
But, in the current situation, it was necessary.
“Okay. Then… I will form an alliance with you, even if it is temporary.”
[Haha, thank you for your hospitality. Seo Do-woo…]
He smiled and nodded happily.
“…by the way….”
[AA AA AA-]
I frowned as I watched Kang Min-hee chasing us.
“In order to reach the monster, it seems like we’ll have to first take out the Virgin Mary. Is there no way?”
We need the help of the monsters to get Kang Min-hee out of the interface.
However, in order to meet and persuade the monster, Na, Seo-hyul, Kim Yeon, and Oh Hye-seo must first separate from Kang Min-hee and join forces.
But Kang Min-hee is chasing me like crazy.
If things continued like this, we wouldn’t even be able to start an alliance or anything.
‘There is a high probability that they are chasing me to catch me and turn me into a demon king, as they sense the aura of death emanating from my body and my power, which is of a semi-permanent level.’
My death aura would have been incredibly noticeable to her, especially as she was such a powerful demon.
‘Unless you get out of the sight of the breaker at once, it will chase you endlessly.’
Since I was at this point, I asked the guy for a plan to test Seo-hyul’s trick.
He seemed to smile and said,
[I have a plan to make enough time to meet with my colleagues. Would you like to hear it?]
“Say it quickly.”
[Go to Geon-Gon-Seong.]
“…you.”
I opened my eyes wide, understanding what Seo-hyul was trying to say.
He smiled and continued his explanation.
[Go to Geon-Gon-Seong, lure it into the Biseon-Dae. That is… drop it under the Gong-Ryeong-Ji. It seems to have no intelligence, so it won’t be hard. The poems in the Void react even more to beings with great energy, so even the Sage-level poems will rush at it one or two times. Of course, the Gong-Ryeong-Ji is an open door, a hole, so it will pop out again right away, but the poems in the Void will buy you time.]
“… Are you saying that everyone in Geon-Gon-Seong should be sent to the womb of the Virgin Mary?”
[hmm….]
Seo-hyul made a worried expression and asked again.
[Isn’t that better? I understand that you are not on good terms with the governor of Geon-Gon Castle, Tae-Su Heon-Won.]
“… .”
Instead of being swayed by Seo-hyul’s words, I glanced at the guy and frowned.
“Stop your wicked tongue and help me. With your power and greed, there’s no way you wouldn’t have caused trouble for all the living beings in Geongonjungyeok. With your power, immediately evacuate everyone in Geongonjungyeok to another place.”

[Huh huh…]
At my words, Seo-hyul smiled brightly and lifted a finger on his shoulder as he spoke.
[It seems that Seo Do-woo can’t help it. But it’s impossible to evacuate ‘everyone’.]
“What the hell is that?”
[Geon-Gon-Seong-Ju Hyeon-Won. That person… That person alone had something dangerous in his consciousness, so I only poured Tak-Hon-Man-Cheon into him and did not brainwash him. So, please persuade him yourself, Do-Woo.]
“… .”
I thought of Heonwon.
[Name] Cheonra inside the royal palace!
‘damn….’
It was already a scary feeling.
I didn’t know exactly what the name meant.
However, even a three-year-old child in my situation would have been able to tell that the name was related to the owner of Taesan.
Perhaps the mountain god’s prophecy could have been Cheonra.
I tried to leave such a dangerous thing to Seo-hyul, but it seemed like I had to face it.
“…i get it.”
I cursed inwardly and flew towards Geon-Gon Castle with Seo-Hyul.
Heonwon is anxious.
Starting with the character for “supervisor” in his eyes, to the Taesan Yeoljeonggong that he has mastered.
Maybe through him, the master of Taishan could monitor me in real time.
But that’s why you should know more about him.
I came to find out about the current status of Heonwon.
And according to Seohyul’s plan, he headed to Geongonseong to tie up Kang Minhee’s hands.
* * *
Kookookookookook!
It must have been about half a day of flying.
In the distance, Geongonjungyeok was visible.
‘It’s gotten faster again.’
Previously, it would have taken several days for even a Taesu-level speed to reach the Geon-Gon-Jung-Yeok from the human realm.
But now that it has become a semi-automatic machine.
By combining all the techniques including the art of contraction, the art of flying, the art of gliding, and the art of flying with a sword, he was able to travel from the human realm to the realm of Heaven and Earth in just half a day.
of course….
‘The same goes for Kang Min-hee.’
Kang Min-hee followed me in a straight line, accepting the spirits of all the races in the straight line, granting them power and making them her own.
Kang Min-hee had not yet absorbed as many vengeful spirits as when she was in the human territory, but her size continued to grow steadily.
Gugugugugu!
Is it just about size?
I felt the speed increasing, albeit little by little.
I walked faster and faster towards Geon-Gon-Seong, glancing at the dark storm chasing me from behind.
The result of going crazy for half a day, with the goal of arriving at Geon-Gon Castle just a little bit faster than Kang Min-Hee.
I was able to get to Geon-Gon-Seong a little faster than her.
‘In about an hour, Kang Min-hee will come rushing in.’
The meeting with Heonwon had to be over in an instant.
Whioooooo-
Could it be because everyone fled due to Seohyul’s sudden death?
The city of Geon-Gon was quiet.
But I am in the center of Geon-Gon-Seong.
I squinted my eyes, feeling the strong presence there.
Even though Seohyul’s many disciples tried to persuade Heonwon, he kept his position.
Boohoo!
Oh my god!
At my gesture, a vast sword energy arose, splitting the castle wall and plunging into the place where the royal guard was.
Kookookookookook!
As the castle of Geon-Gon collapsed, I looked down at the place where the royal palace of Heon-Won was located.
He was dressed exactly the same as when we met last time.
A worn-out appearance, with the same purple robe as before, hair sticking out of the hat, and an unkempt topknot.
But there was one thing different from before.
Swish-
He looked up at me.
I looked down at him and clicked my tongue.
“… How did it come to be like this, Geon-Gon-Seong-Ju?”
Heonwon’s eyes had lost their light, unlike before.
The brightly shining symbol of the character “監” had completely lost its light, and only darkness remained.
It seemed to have something to do with the owner of Taishan being captured by the light.
It was as if he had completely lost his vision and was unable to focus on me.
However, since the combined machines had a conscious area even when they lost their eyesight, he recognized me even though he seemed to be looking at me with blank eyes.
“… I don’t know. My eyes suddenly lost their light a while ago. I don’t know why.”
“Haven’t you heard from your subordinates? A terrible monster will soon be coming to Geon-Gon Castle.”
But Heonwon smiled and said.
“What do you want me to do? If it’s stronger than me, I die. If I’m stronger than it, I catch it.”
“You can never catch it. Get out of here quickly.”
“…hate.”
He smiled bitterly with gloomy eyes.
“Anyway, you and those guys named Geum Myeong-hun failed to properly protect the Geumsincheonroemun… From the moment that Geumsincheonroemun disappeared from the human realm, I honestly didn’t feel like I had any reason to live any longer. That’s right… I’ve lived long enough. The Taegeukgi Daewonman and above secretly know that this world will end in 10,000 years… There’s no reason to live anyway, and since everything will end in 10,000 years, what’s the point of living any longer?”
He turned his head and said.
“I will sit here and recuperate, and watch over you to see if a miracle happens and the disciples of the Geumsincheonryomun come up. If the only thing I came here to tell you is to evacuate, then just get out of here. I really don’t want to face you…”
“… .”
I looked down at him for a while.
and.
“Phew… .”
I went down to the front of the temple.
“I can’t stand listening to it again and again.”
I growled and grabbed Heonwon by the collar.
“The Geumsincheonroe clan was destroyed, it was because of me or Jeon Myeong-hun, I can’t feel a reason to live… You only pick out things that really annoy me.”
“Can’t you let it go?”
“We only have a moment, but I think that’ll be enough. For the next moment, I’ll fix your rotten mind… If you feel the pain of near-death, you’ll have the will to live.”
“Phehheh… You little brat who’s not even ten thousand years old… Do you even understand the pain of loss…?”
He looked down at me with a bitter smile.
“You seem to think that you were lucky enough to become a combined machine within 500 years due to your outstanding talent. Do you think you are the main character of the world? Do you dare to preach to me, thinking that you know all the misfortunes and pains of the world? Don’t be mistaken! You are just a brat who has not even lived a tenth of my life! The pain you have experienced is nothing compared to the pain I know!”
“… .”
Kkugu, kkugugugugu!
Gradually, the weight of the debt began to grow heavier.
The momentum of the guy I was holding onto started to rise.
“Just leave me alone. I’ll do whatever I want, whether I die or not.”
“… This guy should have lost his tongue, not his eyes.”
I glared at Heonwon with a cold glare and let go of his collar.
“I’ve changed my mind a little. You will truly experience pain that will make even death seem like mercy.”
“You little bastard, back then when I wasn’t in good shape, I was able to say that my skills were….”
Heonwon reached out to me while pulling up the hot offering of Taesan.
The next moment, I literally smashed the bastard’s Taesanyeoljeonggong, then grabbed his face and beat him up.
The entire Geon-Gon Castle was shattered in one blow.
