Phaaaat!
As the sun set, the white waves rushed in.
Every time he hit the ground, his body flew like a hawk for more than three zhang. A speed that naturally brings to mind the word “flying lightning.”
But it wasn’t anything special, because everyone around him was running at the same speed.
Baekcheon glanced to the side.
Ungeom was running with a blank expression on his face. He didn’t seem to be having any trouble. Baekcheon, who was relieved inside, looked back this time. Everyone was following him without falling behind.
Ohgeom is used to moving at such high speeds, so he isn’t too worried. What he’s worried about is none other than Namgung Do-wi and Im So-byeong.
But, despite the worries, the sickly-looking Lim So-byeong ran with a calm and composed expression. Furthermore, Namgung Do-wi followed him closely without falling behind.
‘That’s amazing.’
Hwasan is a sect that places a lot of importance on the basics. Of course, now I think that Cheongmyeong is not only concerned with the basics, but also with the mobility of the sect… … .
In any case, neither Im So-byeong nor Namgung Do-wi seemed to be greatly inconvenienced by the speed of the volcano that had been built up from the ground up. This is a sight that allows us to guess how high their background is.
‘This is not the time to worry about others.’
Baekcheon’s breathing became slightly faster.
He wouldn’t have a hard time with just this level of lightness. If it were normal, he wouldn’t have changed his expression even if he had maintained a speed half as fast as this.
Still, there was only one reason why Baekcheon felt burdened now.
Red-robed, murderous warriors lined up around the area.
In contrast to the refined momentum of the Jeongpa, these people are running together, surrounding each other as if they were surrounding a volcano, completely revealing their wild nature that seems ready to explode at any moment.
Baekcheon’s face hardened.
I know they don’t have any ill intentions, but I can’t help but feel burdened. They were fighting the volcano with swords not too long ago.
‘Everyone… … ‘
Elite soldiers wearing the white and red robes unique to the Maninbang.
‘Red dog.’
They must have had a different name at first. It must have been a plausible name. But at some point, Kang-ho started calling them Hong-gyeon.
red dog.
Jang Il-so’s dog is loyal only to his master.
It is a derogatory term that mixes fear of Jang Il-so and contempt for those who follow him. However, the people involved were actually happy with the name. And they called themselves Hong-gyeon and showed off their blind loyalty to Jang Il-so.
That is why Kang-ho was afraid of them even though he called them dogs.
Wearing the symbolic white robe, they are always there to protect Jang Il-so and trample on his enemies as his right and left hand.
The red dog is now surrounding the disciples of the volcano.
Sometimes, when an unrefined momentum would fly in, it felt like the hairs on my body would stand on end. It was a completely different energy from the Jeongpa. The sharp wildness was not allowing me to relax for even a moment.
‘Is the Maninbang really this strong?’
Although they are not running at full speed, the members of the Volcano party are proud to say that they are unrivaled in light combat.
However, in Maninbang, the number of red dogs following this speed is over a hundred.
Thanks to my experience dealing with the enemy forces of Maninbang and repelling the group that attacked the volcano, my confidence that I could deal with a single Maninbang at any time was completely shattered.
Baekcheon bit his lips lightly.
‘but.’
This is why Maninbang was able to sit in the position of the leader of the Sa-pae-ryeon. No matter how talented Jang Il-so was, if the power of the supporting forces was lacking, he would never have been able to rise above those great figures.
Taat!
Baekcheon instinctively strengthened his legs as he kicked the ground.
‘These are the enemies.’
I know that for sure. Isn’t that why Baekcheon can’t let down his guard?
But for this moment, these fearsome creatures become their allies, targeting the same enemies.
It was a strange feeling of anxiety and stability, awkwardness and anticipation coexisting. Then, I heard Yoon Jong’s voice.
“Private. When do you think you’ll arrive?”
“It will be soon.”
From Guangdong to Hangzhou is a thousand li. An ordinary person would have to walk every day for ten days to reach this distance, but for these people, it is a distance that can be reached in just half a day.
We’ve been running nonstop from sunrise to sunset, so we’ll probably be entering Hangzhou soon.
“… … Then I guess I’ll see you soon.”
The word referring to the target was missing. However, everyone here knew who Yun Jong was referring to.
The devil’s cult.
Baekcheon, who had those two letters in his head, naturally looked ahead. The leader of the group. The two people running at the very front.
For a moment, I felt like my breath was being taken away.
The backs of Cheongmyeong in black military attire and Jang Il-so in red robes were engraved in Baekcheon’s eyes like a seal.
‘I never thought I’d see those two running side by side in my lifetime.’
No matter what anyone says, the person that the disciples of the volcano can rely on the most is Cheongmyeong. Although he is usually the most untrustworthy person in the world, Cheongmyeong is the most trustworthy person on the battlefield.
And the person that the disciples of the volcano fear the most is Jang Il-so, no matter what anyone says. To the volcano, Jang Il-so is a symbol of hatred and fear at the same time.
These two people are now leading those who follow them side by side.
A sight he had never imagined. No, it was a sight he had no reason to even imagine. So it was natural that Baekcheon felt this terrible sense of alienation.
But at the same time… … .
‘If I say this, people might say I’m crazy.’
Baekcheon glanced back, as if worried that the other disciples might have heard his thoughts.
‘Seeing those two together, it doesn’t seem like they’ll lose at all.’
Perhaps the other disciples of the volcano are thinking similarly?
At that moment, Jang Il-so’s loose voice was heard.
“You seem quite nervous, Volcanic Swordsman.”

Cheongmyeong did not respond to Jang Il-so’s words. He simply kept his gaze fixed forward and ran. However, Jang Il-so smiled slyly as if he had expected such a reaction.
“Don’t be so nervous. There won’t be much work for you to do. You just have to finish it when the time is right. If I ask too much of a kid like you, I’ll look like a loser.”
At that moment, Cheongmyeong raised the corners of his mouth as he watched Jang Il-so running beside him. It was a smile so clear that even Baekcheon, who was running behind him, could see it.
“Hmm?”
Jang Il-so asked with a strange expression.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Keep going.”
“huh?”
“You’d better babble while you can, because soon the composure will disappear from that face.”
“… … Huh?”
Jang Il-so looked at Cheongmyeong with interest.
“Do you think I am underestimating their power?”
“No. A guy like you wouldn’t do something that stupid.”
“however?”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes darkened.
“You will find out.”
“… … .”
“I’m saying that there are things in the world that cannot be measured in calculations.”
Cheongmyeong didn’t bother to explain.
I just turned my head to check on the group following me.
Baekcheon, Yui Seol, Yun Jong, Jo Geol, and Dang So So.
The only ones who changed their expressions at Cheongmyeong’s words were those who had experienced the devil’s cult in the North Sea. They would know. What meaning was contained in Cheongmyeong’s words.
“Because you’ll probably see things you’ve never imagined.”
As Cheongmyeong spoke sharply, Jang Il-so looked at him with strange eyes.
“that…….”
The corners of Jang Il-so’s mouth gradually curled upward.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
As Jang Il-so made a light gesture, Ho Ga-myeong, who was running not far away, quickly followed him. Jang Il-so gave a few instructions in a small voice.
Hogamyeong nodded quickly and slowed down to join Honggyun behind him.
Cheongmyeong watched the process with a strange look in his eyes.
Jang Il-so must have felt her gaze, so he smiled faintly and looked at Cheongmyeong.
“Why? What are you curious about?”
“… …What instructions did you give?”
“Just like you said, I just told you not to be surprised at whatever sight you see.”
“… … .”
“I don’t know if what you’re saying is right or wrong, but not preparing for what you can prepare for is something that only the most ignorant people in the world would do. Since you insist on giving me advice, why wouldn’t I accept it?”
Cheongmyeong let out a hollow laugh.
In the past, even those within the same political party could not take his advice at face value. But this Sapha guy is taking his words seriously.
For this guy, there is no distinction between right and wrong. There is only a distinction between what can be used and what cannot be used.
That thought occurred to me again.
Cheongmyeong and Cheonma are beings who have transcended the laws of the world. If such people had not appeared, what would have become of this world?
Perhaps it was just playing around in this guy’s hands?
From that perspective, the one who may have suffered the greatest loss due to the two entities, Cheonma and Cheongmyeong, may be none other than Jang Il-so.
“Strangely… …what an unpleasant gaze.”
Jang Il-so twisted his red lips. His ornaments kept making loud noises.
“Don’t look at me like that. It makes you want to gouge out your eyes.”
“That crazy guy.”
The words were fierce, but the voice was terribly gentle. Cheongmyeong turned his head away with a disgusted expression.
No matter who Jang Il-so is, it can’t be helped that we are not compatible by nature. This is the first time I’m joining hands with him.
It was just then.
“excuse me!”
Baekcheon raised his voice as if he had discovered something. Cheongmyeong’s gaze instinctively turned forward.
“… … .”
At the same time, his busy feet started to slow down.
It gradually slowed down, then became a fast pace, then a slow pace, and finally came to a complete stop.
All of them who were running like the wind stopped in their tracks.
No one opened their mouths. Not even a breath could be heard.
Everyone just watched the scene unfold before their eyes, holding their breath.
All I can see is… …the ground, and a corpse.
The ground, soaked in blood and dried and blackened, was filled with gruesome corpses.
They know. They have fought countless battles, so they can tell just by the sights they have left behind. This is not a trace of war. Those who kill each other, fight with rage, and resist never leave traces like this.
This is… … just a place where massacre has swept through.
“Ugh!”
Tang Soso covered her mouth and bent her back. Yu Iseol, who was next to her, grabbed her shoulder tightly.
“how…….”
Corpses are strewn endlessly.
I couldn’t even imagine how a person could do something like this. No human in their right mind would kill even a single ant like this endlessly.
Damn it.
At that moment, Jang Il-so took a step forward.
“this…….”
Standing before the land stained with death, he slowly licked his red lips. A cruel smile spread across his face, which was completely stained with ghosts.
“It’s the Demonic Cult.”
A deep murderous look began to form in his pale eyes.
