68.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but it felt like an entire day.
“Urgh!”
The blood clot suddenly came up.
The blackened, dead blood clot fell to the ground and spread in all directions like soft mud.
Seol Changho’s hand that had been patting his back stopped.
After vomiting the blood clot, his chest felt refreshed and he no longer felt any pain.
“Ah, I wasted my internal energy on a worthless guy.”
Seol Changho, who had struck Hwangbo Cheonak’s acupoints, wiped his forehead with his hand and sat down heavily on a rock.
Seol Changho’s entire body was drenched in sweat.
Seol Ryeoseon spoke to such Seol Changho.
“Sit here where it’s flat.”
“I’m fine.”
“Don’t be stubborn and sit down. Don’t suffer unnecessarily later.”
Seol Ryeoseon placed her palm on Seol Changho’s back and shared her internal energy with him.
Only after seeing this did Hwangbo Cheonak realize that Seol Changho had made a great sacrifice for him.
Hwangbo Cheonak asked Seol Mujin in a small voice.
“What was the medicine I took?”
“A medicine that can rapidly increase internal energy but has severe side effects. That’s all I know.”
“Then has all the internal energy I gained disappeared?”
“If that were the case, Changho wouldn’t have suffered so much.”
“The increased internal energy remains?”
“If you’re suspicious, check for yourself.”
Hwangbo Cheonak carefully drew up his internal energy.
Just feeling the power of internal energy spreading from his dantian, he could tell.
That it was much purer and without obstruction compared to before.
“It actually seems better than before?”
“It seems you’ve caught Changho’s fancy.”
“Hey, you guys. That thing…”
To Hwangbo Cheonak who couldn’t easily bring up the topic, Seol Mujin said.
“You must be curious about us, but we can’t tell you everything yet. One thing for certain is that I’m a friend of Hyeonguk and Miss Ryeoseon.”
Seol Mujin patted Hwangbo Cheonak’s shoulder and continued.
“If you do well, I might become friends with you too.”
Watching Seol Mujin turn around, Hwangbo Cheonak felt something surge up from his chest.
In the twenty-odd years he had lived, had he ever had something called a friend?
“I, I’m one year older than you.”
After saying that, he wanted to hit himself on the head.
All he could manage to say was that he was older!
Fortunately, Seol Mujin showed no reaction.
“We can still be friends though.”
Since he had muttered it, Seol Mujin probably hadn’t heard.
***
The only opening in the underground prison was a small hole above the iron door.
The four people had used their internal energy to remove all the poison from the Mountain Air Poison, but no matter how much force they applied, the handcuffs and leg shackles wouldn’t break.
“Haah—!”
“Sigh—!”
Hwangbo Hyeonguk, Seol Ryeoseon, and Sang Chiyeon took turns sighing in despair.
The Hwangbo Family had barely escaped from the dark clouds, but because of them, it was caught in a storm again.
“We should have been more careful.”
Hwangbo Ryeoseon picked up on Hwangbo Hyeonguk’s muttering.
“We cannot become a source of trouble for the family.”
“It’s already too late.”
“I can die for the family.”
Hwangbo Hyeonguk asked in surprise.
“Are you talking about suicide?”
“Because of us, not only the Hwangbo Family but also Seol Podoo could die. In that case, it’s better to die.”
Hwa Yeonshim, who had been leaning against the wall with a relaxed expression, said.
“Be at ease. You’ll be freed soon.”
Hwangbo Ryeoseon asked.
“How?”
“Seol Podoo is here.”
“Seol Podoo will rescue us? No matter how high Seol Podoo’s martial arts are, he can’t face the Five Dragon Sect alone.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course.”
Hwa Yeonshim smiled slightly.
“You don’t even know half of what Seol Podoo is capable of. The Five Dragon Sect that made Seol Podoo their enemy has dug their own grave.”
Hwangbo Hyeonguk also couldn’t understand Hwa Yeonshim’s bold claim.
“Even if hyung’s martial arts are as high as father’s, it’s impossible to bring down the Five Dragon Sect alone.”
“Want to make a bet?”
“A bet?”
“I can stake my life on the fact that Seol Podoo will rescue us.”
Sang Chiyeon said.
“Right now our necks are as good as severed, so there’s nothing we can’t stake.”
“Should I stake a night with Young Master Hyeonguk?”
“What?”
Seeing Hwangbo Hyeonguk’s face turn red, Hwa Yeonshim laughed heartily.
“I’m joking. Even if I were to spend a night with someone, it wouldn’t be with Young Master Hyeonguk.”
Hwangbo Ryeoseon narrowed her eyes.
“Then don’t tell me…”
“I can dream, can’t I? Since it’s something that will never happen. What would be good for the bet?”
Sang Chiyeon said.
“Since it’s just hope, how about something like granting a wish?”
“That’s good. We’re dead people who came back to life, so what can’t we do? Right?”
Hwangbo Ryeoseon nodded.
“Fine. But this seems like an unfavorable bet for me? If we die, there’s no wish or anything.”
Hwa Yeonshim winked one eye.
“I’m definitely going to win.”
Thanks to her bold claim, everyone felt a little more at ease.
“Wearing cold handcuffs for a long time is bad for the skin.”
Hwa Yeonshim’s worry was only about that much.
***
Hwangbo Cheonak, who had arrived at a place where the Five Dragon Sect could be seen in the distance, collapsed right there.
It was a miracle that he had come this far at this speed.
“Urgh—!”
He ended up vomiting, but since he hadn’t eaten anything, only bitter water came up.
However, Seol Mujin and the triplets had relaxed expressions as if they had come out for a neighborhood stroll.
Seol Mujin looked at Oryongbang from the mountaintop and asked the triplets.
“What should we do?”
Seol Ryeoseon said.
“You should make the plan, oppa.”
“Then I’ll go in from the front, so you guys rescue the captured people.”
“Seeing how quickly you answered, you already made the plan on the way here.”
“It’s a simple matter.”
Hwangbo Cheonak, who had been spitting bitter water for a while, was dumbfounded.
‘That’s simple?’
Seol Mujin would fight alone while the triplets rescued the hostages!
But then Seol Mujin’s gaze turned to Hwangbo Cheonak.
“You’re ready too, right?”
‘Huh? For what?’
Seol Mujin nodded slightly.
“Let’s go.”
‘Where?’
Hwangbo Cheonak felt like he was being dragged along even though he wasn’t tied with rope.
Hwangbo Cheonak hurriedly matched shoulders with Seol Mujin and asked.
“If the plan I just heard is correct, you’re going to fight alone while the kids rescue the hostages, right?”
“Why alone?”
“Then?”
Seol Mujin’s answer came with an ominous feeling.
“You and me, the two of us.”
“Me, me too?”
“Then what were you planning to do?”
“That’s true.”
He couldn’t just stand outside cheering while Seol Mujin fought.
Seeing Hwangbo Cheonak all tense, Seol Mujin chuckled.
“You killed two sect leaders at Yeonji-ru, didn’t you?”
“That was only possible because it was a surprise attack.”
“No matter how much of a surprise attack it was, if your martial arts were weak, how could you kill two masters who rank in the top ten of Oryongbang?”
“Well, that’s true, but.”
“You can never become strong without fighting. If you don’t become strong, you can’t avenge your mother either.”
Those words from Seol Mujin ignited a fire in Hwangbo Cheonak’s chest.
To avenge his mother, he would have to cross countless lines of death.
If he retreated at the level of Oryongbang, he shouldn’t even speak of revenge.
“Let’s go! The two of us should sweep away something like Oryongbang!”
Watching Hwangbo Cheonak take the lead, Seol Mantong smiled sinisterly.
“He’s perfect to boss around. Hehehe…”
Seol Ryeoseon nodded.
“He’s perfect as a servant.”
At a distance where Oryongbang, which had been palm-sized, looked about the size of a small house, the triplets disappeared.
Before leaving, Seol Ryeoseon reminded Seol Mujin.
“Oppa, no matter how confident you are, don’t overdo it.”
“Alright. You guys be careful too. But let me be clear, the Oryongbang leader is mine.”
He couldn’t leave the bastard who tried to burn down Yeonji-ru to someone else.
After the triplets disappeared, Hwangbo Cheonak asked.
“How are we going to infiltrate?”
“We have to go in through that main gate.”
“Just walk in?”
“We need to draw attention to make the rescue easier.”
In Hwangbo Cheonak’s mind, an image of himself fighting like crazy was drawn.
As if only he was drawing that picture, no fear could be seen on Seol Mujin’s face.
“I won’t live to my natural lifespan traveling with you.”
They walked steadily toward Oryongbang’s main gate.
No matter how much of a black path organization it was, a large sect like Oryongbang would have a constant stream of visitors.
But that day, the area in front of the main gate was completely empty.
Seol Mujin whispered to Hwangbo Cheonak.
“It seems Oryongbang knows you killed the two sect leaders.”
“Why do you think that?”
“Unless Oryongbang was in a state of emergency, there’s no reason they wouldn’t receive guests.”
“Those bastards got really scared because of me.”
As they approached, one of the two Bang Do guarding the main gate, the one standing on the right, said.
“Oryongbang does not permit visits from outsiders for the time being, so please return.”
“Tell them that Seol Mujin, the head porter from Jinan, has come.”
“Tell them Hwangbo Cheonak came with him too!”
The two startled Bang Do rushed inside, and after a moment, one of them returned.
“Pl-please wait here for a moment.”
The hand gripping the sword at his waist seemed to be trembling.
Shortly after, Chief Administrator Wang Doseok appeared leading a dozen or so Bang Do.
Wang Doseok’s gaze settled on Hwangbo Cheonak before Seol Mujin.
“So it really is you, bastard.”
“Surprised?”
“Have you gone insane?”
“Probably.”
Only after seeing Wang Doseok did it truly hit him that he had stuck his head into a tiger’s mouth.
“I came to meet the sect leader.”
Wang Doseok’s gaze shifted to Seol Mujin.
“Are you really Seol Mujin, the head porter of Jinan?”
The thought ‘Isn’t he too young?’ was clearly written on his face.
“Either guide us to the sect leader, or let’s fight right now. I’m busy, so decide quickly.”
Wang Doseok, who had been looking at Seol Mujin with an incredulous expression, turned around.
“Follow me.”
The place Wang Doseok guided Seol Mujin and Hwangbo Cheonak to was a massive training ground.
Around the training ground, countless Bang Do had already gathered.
Even as they crossed the training ground, the number of Bang Do rapidly increased.
At a number easily exceeding a thousand, Hwangbo Cheonak whispered to Seol Mujin.
“We’re really going to fight this many people?”
“They’re just a ragtag bunch.”
Right, a ragtag bunch. A ragtag bunch that learned martial arts.
Finally, from atop six steps, sect leader Won Baeguk appeared.
Won Baeguk held a crescent blade, a unique weapon, in his hand, and behind him, ten sect leaders were arranged like a folding screen.
In front was Won Baeguk, one of Shandong Province’s five great masters, and around them, thousands of enemies surrounded the situation.
When entering Oryongbang, he had thought ‘surely not, surely not.’
He believed that Seol Mujin was acting so confidently because he had some method.
But they had finally ended up in this situation.
Even in this picture, the only anxious person was Hwangbo Cheonak.
‘This guy Seol Mujin definitely has a heart made of iron or no heart at all.’
Otherwise, there was no way he could have such a relaxed expression.
“Hwangbo Cheonak.”
Won Baeguk called out suddenly.
“Yes? Oh, no. What?”
Since things had come to this, he couldn’t show such an unsightly appearance.
Won Baeguk frowned and asked.
“Did you really kill the Kwon and Wang clan heads who went with you?”
“It wasn’t that difficult.”
Bang!
When he struck the floor with the handle of his vertically positioned crescent blade, the granite cracked open.
Hwangbo Cheonak’s shoulders flinched and he almost stepped back.
“A bastard like you killed those two? That can’t be. That can’t be right.”
Hwangbo Cheonak tensed his lower abdomen and spoke.
“What’s so great about mere clan heads!”
“How dare this bastard insult my dead subordinates!”
“So what are you going to do about it?”
Seol Mujin was inwardly flustered.
The Triplets needed time to rescue the hostages, but if Won Baeguk exploded here, the fight would start too quickly.
“Hey, calm down.”
Even though Seol Mujin pulled at his sleeve, Hwangbo Cheonak only shouted louder.
“Calm down? What’s there to calm down about!”
In the end, Seol Mujin struck the back of Hwangbo Cheonak’s head.
With a thud, Hwangbo Cheonak swayed forward.
Seol Mujin hurriedly cupped his hands toward Won Baeguk.
“This friend got too excited and was rude to Bang-ju.”
