Episode 1086. What sin did I commit in my past life? (1)
“You’re back already?”
“That’s right!”
“So, you mean you’ve already defeated that demonic cult? It hasn’t even been four days since you set out?”
Dang Su-myeong asked back with a dumbfounded expression.
The fear that comes from the name of the Demonic Cult is deeply engraved in the bones. Who doesn’t know about the fierce war that took place a hundred years ago? It would be the same for all martial artists.
Although it is not often said out loud because it is secretly taboo to even mention it, it is no exaggeration to say that there is no martial artist who does not know that the Demonic Cult is a terrifying and fearsome entity.
But how could I not be surprised that they defeated those people and returned in just four days?
“Can that be possible?”
“Hey, is it really true that all the demonic cult members have gathered here? It must have been just an advance party.”
“No, you bastard. Are you saying that because I don’t know? Even if they’re the vanguard, they’re still the Demonic Cult. Don’t you know what the Demonic Cult is?”
“……but.”
Tang Wenhui nodded when he heard that. Even if it was just an advance party, the Demonic Cult was still a Demonic Cult. Moreover, considering that the advance party had scorched Hangzhou, it was impossible to simply underestimate them as an advance party.
“Why else would a bastard like Sagal ask for help? Rumor has it that even that great lord suffered greatly from the demonic cult.”
“Surely not to that extent… … .”
“Oh, man! Would I be talking nonsense? This is news from the open air.”
“Is that true?”
“Of course!”
The leader spoke firmly and then slowly shook his head.
“But… … Even though I borrowed the power of the Sapa guys, I came back after taking care of those guys in just four days… … Who the hell is that Volcanic Sword Association… … .”
“Isn’t that just the power of the Volcanic Sword Association? The Ogeom and other Volcanic members who went with them also helped out.”
“Yeah, yeah. That’s true.”
A look of pride appeared on the faces of the people talking, knowingly or unknowingly.
The original martial artists cannot just enjoy watching the activities of other sects. The fact that other sects are gaining influence means that the influence of the advisor is relatively weakened.
But there was not a hint of displeasure on the faces of the Tang dynasty members discussing the volcano’s activities.
“Surely, your lord’s foresight is truly amazing.”
“That’s right. Who would have thought that volcano would become like this?”
“Not only the elders, but most people were against it. To be honest, who would have thought of uniting with Hwasan at that time? We were the best Sachondang in the world, and they were all ruined sects.”
Everyone was amazed.
In the days when Hwasan was incomparably inferior to the present, Tangjunak formed an equal alliance with Hwasan. Since the authority of the head of the family was so strong in the Sacheondang family, and the Senate that actively opposed it had been disbanded, no one could openly oppose it. However, how much discontent must they have had inside?
But I never thought that choice would turn out like this.
“At that time, our lord was the only one in the world who truly understood the true value of volcanoes.”
“Ah! Then aren’t you our master?”
A look of pride naturally appeared on the faces of the people in the Tang Dynasty.
At least for the Tang family, the volcano is not just a stranger or an outsider. Isn’t it the place where they have maintained a relationship and supported the volcano since it was not recognized by the world, and isn’t it their only blood alliance?
As the volcano’s status increased, the greatness of the Tang family was highlighted, so there was no reason not to be happy.
“This will once again elevate the status of the volcano.”
“What kind of obvious talk is that? It’s not just Hwasan! The status of Cheonwoomyeong and Dangga will also rise once again.”
Tang Wen-hyeok laughed out loud.
“Thinking about those old bastards, especially that bald Shaolin guy, turning their stomachs upside down, makes me feel like a decade-old hangover has subsided.”
“Yes, yes!”
The gathered people burst into loud laughter.
Since long ago, there was no good feeling toward the Shaolin and Gupailbang. It was natural that the Tang family was in conflict with the Qing Dynasty, which supported the Gupailbang, due to the regional characteristics. The ill feelings reached the peak due to the Maehwado incident, so this kind of reaction was more than enough.
“But… … Where are our heroes who came back after doing such great things? I heard that Miss Soso also came back?”
“Tsk tsk. You’re talking about something so obvious. Of course, you’re receiving congratulations from your superiors by now.”
“I guess so?”
“Is this an ordinary thing? It’s not just any other place, it’s the Demonic Cult. And it’s not like you crossed the enemy’s camp, Gangnam, and returned after making a great achievement? It’s an achievement that deserves praise all day long, and praise for seven days and nights!”
“Kuuuuu. I’m jealous. I wish I could be praised by the Lord, too.”
“You’ll never have to do that again in your life, so don’t waste your time and be careful not to get cursed at.”
“what?”
The atmosphere was very lively. It wasn’t a feat they had personally accomplished, but it was enough to ignite their pride as members of the Cheonwoo Alliance. As soon as they heard the news, everyone gathered in small groups and began to praise the Hwasan Sword Association’s Cheongmyeong and those who supported him.
I have no doubt that they will receive the praise they deserve for this colossal feat.
* * *
And that moment.
“Listen carefully.”
“… … .”
“I told you to listen straight.”
The heroes of Hwasan, who had achieved the incredible feat of entering Gangnam, the den of the evil cult, without sparing themselves and massacring the civilians, and escaping from that murderous Gangnam without any sacrifices… … were lined up, kneeling, with both arms raised.
Baekcheon, who had been silently bowing his head, slowly raised his gaze and glanced at Hyeonjong, who was sitting at the head of the table. Seeing the veins bulging out like a blue snake on his forehead, Baekcheon quietly lowered his eyes again.
“I… … live and live… … .”
“… … .”
“What? They gave me a boat so I’ll just take it and come?”
“… … .”
“You tore apart the water tank and set it on fire to cook rice?”
Hyeonjong’s eyes flashed with life-giving light.
Of course, the Hyeonjong here was not the Hyeonjong who couldn’t sleep because of his disciples’ worries and was always doing whatever he wanted.

When he heard that a burnt-out pirate ship had been discovered, seemingly after a fierce battle, he ran a thousand li up the river to Nanjing, only to hear that the men he was worried about had arrived in Jiujiang on the pirate ship and were having a drinking party, so he ran another thousand li and finally arrived in Jiujiang.
“Heh heh… … . Heh. Heh heh heh… … .”
Hyeonjong, who had been laughing as if it was absurd, suddenly rolled his eyes and ran towards me.
“Are you guys human babies?”
“Catch him!”
“Stop it!”
At the same time that Hyeonjong flew, Dang Gun-ak and Hyeon-sang, who had been tensely watching from the side, quickly flew away. Hyeonjong, who was caught by them and dangling, kept kicking the air.
“I thought the remaining children would be burned and rotten inside! What? You came on a ferry? You ripped open the boat because you were hungry? You guys are worse than these sappers!”
“Calm down, my lord!”
“Oh my, Jang Moon-in! Please be patient! After all, aren’t these kids coming back after achieving great things?”
“Ball? Goooooong? What the hell! What? Earning merit? What good is earning merit? You’re not a human being! A human being!”
Hyun-jong’s feet, stretched out with all his might, repeatedly brushed right in front of Baek-cheon’s face. The wind pressure struck Baek-cheon’s pale face.
But he couldn’t even bring himself to turn his head back and just avoided eye contact.
‘I didn’t know… … .’
Who would have thought that King Hyeonjong would not wait in Guangji but wander around the Yangtze River? I thought that if I went to Guangji and put in a pipe in advance, there wouldn’t be any problem.
Little did they know that while they were returning home warmly warmed by the fire, the enraged Hyeonjong would go up the river.
“No, uh… … If you’re hungry, you can eat something… … .”
“Shut up, you punk!”
“Be quiet!”
“Beak!”
“Don’t open your mouth! Don’t ever open your mouth! I’ll kill you, for real!”
Ogeom was startled and fired a barrage of fire at Cheongmyeong.
“No, did I say something wrong?”
“Shut up!”
Cheongmyeong, who had been hit with words, pouted.
Unlike Cheongmyeong, the other five swords had nothing to say even if they had ten mouths.
Think about it. I heard that a child who insisted on playing in the water while he was not supposed to go to the river had fallen into the water. I ran right away and searched for him all day, but then I heard that the child was playing peacefully at home. How would the parents feel? Wouldn’t they have been rotten to the core?
‘Even if I were you, I would first beat your back until it was tattered.’
‘Jang Moon-in is truly a Taoist. He is saving us.’
Hyun-jong looked back at Un-geom with eyes filled with life.
“And you! You little shit! You!”
The sword’s head bowed even lower.
“I sent you with me because I was worried something like this would happen! What? You’re eating death together there? Did it go down your throat? That’s it?”
Ungeom’s forehead was almost touching the ground. Looking at his back, which looked like a snail digging into its shell, Ohgeom couldn’t hold back his tears.
‘Private school.’
‘I’m sorry, Private.’
‘Oh my gosh… … .’
Yun Geum also has a mouth. However, it has now completely lost its use for speaking. If he had stopped by the waterside for a moment and put in a pipe while leisurely going up the river, things would not have turned out like this. By missing that one simple thing, he caused Jang Moon-in and other disciples to travel back and forth to Nanjing.
When I think about how anxious they must have been while running at full speed to Nanjing… … .
“sorry…….”
“Oh my, my fate! How can three generations… … .”
In order to prevent accidents, I mixed up the Yunja pears, Baekja pears, and Cheongja pears and sent them. However, the three ended up doing the same thing. At this point, shouldn’t we seriously consider whether there is a devil in the sect?
Of course, there are some things that Ungeom feels wronged about. However, the reason he can’t open his mouth is because there are people here who are even more wronged than him.
“That’s not what the Sogaju does either!”
“yes?”
Namgung Do-wi opened his eyes wide as he was hit by a spark that suddenly flew in. He had been sitting in the corner and was kneeling as if he was supposed to.
“If those guys are doing something crazy, shouldn’t you stop them first! Even so, how can someone like Sogaju of the Namgung family do something like those bastards?”
Namgung Do-wi’s eyes grew a little wider.
“Me, me?”
“Yes!”
“These people?”
“that…….”
“Me?”
“… … .”
“Me?”
The soul left Hyeonjong’s face. Just by looking at his reaction, it seemed like he could understand what Namgung Do-wi had seen and experienced.
And then, Cheongmyeong opened his mouth as if he couldn’t understand the situation at all.
“No, I told you to just wait and not worry, and that you would be fine on your own. Jang Moon-in, you’ve gotten older now. Don’t worry too much for nothing.”
“… … .”
“Anyway, everyone came back safely, so that’s good. Right?”
At that moment, everyone there saw it.
King Hyeonjong’s face, which had been blankly staring at Cheongmyeong, gradually changed, and soon became distorted like an evil spirit.
It was definitely a sight that the disciples of the volcano had never seen before. It was also a moment when the word ‘escape’ came to mind strongly.
“Eww! You little bastards!”
Hyun-jong, who had finally burst out, threw away the Tanggunak and Hyeon-sang who had grabbed his arm and ran towards Oh-geom.
Long after that… …Hyunsang recalled seeing Asura there.
