Chapter 201: Tae-ju’s Journey Through Gangho (3)
Dang Yeong-chan was so anxious he felt his blood might dry up.
No matter how much their power had declined, this was still the heart of the Sichuan Dang Clan.
Yet not only had an intruder infiltrated, but he was strutting around inside as if it were his own home.
Like someone who knew exactly where everything was.
“Damn it!”
He even felt humiliated.
How had the Dang Clan fallen to such a state?
They simply couldn’t catch him.
It was a situation that perfectly fit the expression “appearing and disappearing like a ghost.”
When the warriors rushed to chase the bastard who appeared on this side, he would suddenly show himself on that side.
The movement technique the intruder was using.
Swift Red Wind Step combined with Phantom Tail Step.
‘Where did he learn that?’
These were martial arts personally created by his grandfather.
While this was true for all martial arts, movement techniques were especially essential elements for hidden weapon arts. So anyone who was a warrior of the Dang Clan had to learn them without exception.
Someone who knew the Dang Clan’s martial arts.
Incredibly fast.
To that degree, it wouldn’t be wrong to say he had mastered them to perfection.
It wasn’t just that bastard.
The spirit beast that had clearly been a tiny cat but had somehow grown to the size of a tiger.
“Kyaak!”
It was moving freely among the Dang Clan warriors, disrupting their formation.
‘…It really was a spirit beast.’
Even a Snow Mountain Flying Leopard or Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox wouldn’t be to that extent.
It was so fast that it was difficult to hit with hidden weapons.
Even the hidden weapons that managed to strike it just bounced off.
At that moment!
After leaping over rooftops, the bastard was standing on the roof of a pavilion he absolutely must not go to.
“Th-that place?”
It was Shim-cheo where Father was lying.
He had hoped it wouldn’t be so, but in the end, that bastard’s identity was…
‘An assassin.’
Without a doubt.
“N-no!”
At the same time.
Crash!
The intruder broke through the roof with tremendous force and fell below.
“Don’t!”
Tap tap tap tap!
Dang Yeong-chan ran with all his might.
When he entered the building, the Dang Clan’s elders and warriors were packed tightly in the corridor.
However.
‘Why aren’t they going into the room?’
Stop!
He too had no choice but to stop.
The reason the elders and warriors weren’t moving.
Float float float.
Hundreds of hidden weapons floating in the air, blocking their way.
“Ah!”
He used hidden weapons too?
And even made them float in the air.
‘Could this be…’
Manceon Hwau.
Some people think that the technique of hidden weapons falling like rain is Manceon Hwau, but that’s a misunderstanding of Storm Rain Needles.
The true Manceon Hwau was the Dang Clan’s ultimate secret technique of using Toxic Spirit to control tens of thousands of hidden weapons individually like limbs.
Just like right now.
This saying was passed down in Dangmun.
A highly developed Manceon Hwau is no different from a sword that moves by itself.
He had witnessed it just once himself.
When his grandfather was still alive… no, when he was still in the Human Realm.
But to see this here?
The reason the Dang Clan’s elders and warriors stopped in front of the door wasn’t just this.
The intruder’s face, finally seen up close.
“Heh heh.”
“…Hmm.”
“I-I can’t believe it.”
“What in the world?”
“Too… similar.”
“…”
Dang Yeong-chan was confused.
Dang Yeong-ryeong, who had followed behind, was the same.
He had thought the face looked familiar.
‘It can’t be.’
How could it be?
Grandfather had already ascended to immortality.
While they were in such a daze.
Slip.
The cat, which had somehow become small again, entered the room before anyone could stop it.
“Nyaaaa!”
At the same time, it stretched beside the intruder, yawned widely, finished washing its face, then lay down and began sleeping soundly.
It was a really absurd thought to have in this situation, but… it was truly cute.
* * *
Tae-ju blocked those trying to enter the room with hidden weapons.
He immobilized several with pressure point strikes.
‘Now shall I begin the treatment?’
He had given the Jeoseungsaja several packs of cigarettes to keep the breath going for now.
However, he hadn’t treated him yet.
Dang Cheol-hwi was still lying pale from qi deviation.
Tae-ju took out the highest grade Seondo from Infinite Space.
Then he heard a voice transmission in his ear.
– Oh! A big and solid one indeed.
– Is it alright?
The Jeoseungsaja had settled in and sat on the floor.
Clutching the tobacco cigarettes Tae-ju had given him to his chest.
The fate in the ledger of life and death had already been changed anyway.
He might as well watch and then go.
Tae-ju forcibly opened Dang Cheol-hwi’s tightly closed mouth and squeezed the juice of the highest grade Seondo into it.
The essence of immortal energy is harmony.
Qi deviation occurs because the balance between body and internal energy is disrupted.
If the collapsed balance is corrected, he’ll quickly shake it off and get back up.
While massaging around the esophagus to make the Seondo juice flow down to the stomach.
Squish!
Drip!
One isn’t enough.
One more.
Squish!
Drip!
Even the Jeoseungsaja seems envious.
– Two whole precious Seondo! Getting qi deviation was rather fortunate.
Now it’s time to examine the internal energy.
He grasped Dang Cheol-hwi’s pulse point and moved his Toxic Spirit.
He could feel it.
The immortal energy flowing through his body began to break through the twisted and blocked blood channels and heal them.
‘Should I feed him one more?’
Is there any need to be stingy?
Dok-seon may have severed his worldly ties, but he hadn’t.
Even if he fed Dang Cheol-hwi several Seondo, he wouldn’t feel sorry about it at all.
The Dang Clan people were also silently watching Tae-ju’s actions.
A large peach that came from who knows where.
When he extracted the juice, an enchanting and divine fragrance filled the room.
Gulp.
Someone who couldn’t hold back swallowed their saliva.
A moment later.
“…Mmph.”
A faint moan escaped from his lips.
Color returned to Dang Cheol-hwi’s pale face.
The Jeoseungsaja grinned and said.
– As expected, he recovered cleanly.
– Originally, Seondo is a direct hit for qi deviation.
Emperor Ryu Tae-hyeon of Samhan was the same.
Back then, he got up easily after eating just one defective Seondo.
But Dang Cheol-hwi had eaten three top-grade Seondo.
The energy in his body quickly stabilized.
His eyelids also slowly lifted upward.
And his eyes met with Tae-ju’s.
“Ah!”
He stared endlessly.
He couldn’t take his eyes away.
Memories surfaced simultaneously.
When he was young, just beginning to learn the Five Elements Divine Art.
That person who had personally explained each incantation with a caring expression and guided his inner energy was right before his eyes.
“…Father.”
Tae-ju smiled gently and said.
“Don’t try to get up hastily, sleep a bit more.”
“…Yes.”
Dang Cheol-hwi fell back into sleep.
With steady, regular breathing.
Dang Yeong-chan and Dang Yeong-ryeong, along with the Dang Clan members who had been listening intently to their conversation from outside the room, were shocked.
Now it was certain.
That person is the Absolute Poison Immortal Danggumak, the Grand Family Head.
There was no need to decide who would go first.
They all prostrated themselves on the floor together.
“Grand Family Head!”
They called out to Tae-ju in chorus with tearful voices.
However.
“I’m not Danggumak though?”
“Meow?”
“…I’m really not!”
“Meooow!”
But no one believed him.
The circumstances were too clear.
“Grand Family Heaaad!”
This is maddening.
He had no idea how to explain it.
Ah, forget it.
“Enough!”
“…”
“I am someone unrelated to this mortal world. But since I’ve unexpectedly come to this place… no one besides you all must know.”
The Dang Clan members nodded their heads.
Right.
The Grand Family Head had severed ties with the mortal world and become an Immortal.
Usually, Immortals don’t interfere in human affairs.
However, he couldn’t ignore his descendants’ difficulties, so he seemed to have secretly descended personally.
“We will keep it in mind, Grand Family Head!”
“…Just call me Young Master, please.”
“Yes! Young Master!”
“Now! Let’s deal with those scumbags outside the Dang Family Compound first.”
Suddenly!
Grumble!
Someone must be very hungry, though he doesn’t know who.
“…After we eat first.”
“Please wait just a moment. We’ll prepare a feast right away.”
“I brought something to eat. Tell all the Dang Clan members to gather at the training ground.”
“But, but there are many people…”
“It’s fine. Let’s have a chicken party. One chicken per person should be enough.”
“…What? Chi, chicken?”
Then.
– Kim Tae-ju, perhaps my portion too…?
– I’ll even get you cola.
The Jeoseungsaja gave a thumbs up.
Tae-ju also secretly raised his hand for a thumbs up!
“Meow!”
Ibaek-i also raised his front paw up!
But can this guy see the Jeoseungsaja too?
Well!
He did eat so much Seondo.
* * *
Hwangcheon-gye.
The Earth sinners who came up because of Tae-ju – Hu Dong-pyeong, Tsuchida, Kimura – their souls completed a simple trial and fell to Hell.
Now, for decades at the shortest, or hundreds to thousands of years at the longest, they will endlessly suffer and pay for their sins.
As their turbid souls undergo repeated washing and bleaching, even their memories of past lives will completely disappear, and then they will enter the path of reincarnation again.
For now, only souls directly connected to Hero Tae-ju will come up, but later on, it’s obvious they’ll pour in like a flood.
Is he an ordinary person?
Isn’t he the most influential figure on Earth?
Hwangcheon-gye also accepted the situation.
Yama and the Saja and Chasa began work on expanding Hell.
At the same time, they had to entice souls scheduled for reincarnation and recruit them as Jeoseungsaja.
‘Anyway, I must have relieved stress with that stroll through the Demon Realm, shall I go take a look around?’
Yama proceeded to the Heavenly Realm apartment construction site.
Both to have a conversation with Dok-seon and to see with his own eyes how far the construction had progressed.
Hell prisoners and Heavenly Deities working diligently under the command of construction supervisor Gwi-gok.
The foundation work was finished and now they were working on building up the floors.
It had already exceeded 8 floors.
And 10 buildings were going up simultaneously.
10,000 Heavenly Deities and 10,000 Hell sinners selected from those whose waters of sin had almost completely drained.
Not only the numbers, but since they were construction workers who surpassed human strength, the construction progress was very fast.
They didn’t even need cranes or construction equipment.
Since most work could be done with strength alone.
“Put in the black iron rebar densely. Chicken is good boneless, but would it work if the apartment where Cheonin will live is boneless?”
“Hey, don’t finish that part yet. I haven’t drawn the shock absorption and noise prevention formation yet. Will you take responsibility if there’s noise between floors?”
“Quickly, quickly! Don’t think about resting, aren’t you wearing safety helmets? Do you need those? When you have heads harder than concrete.”
“Come on, let’s put in just a little more effort. Today’s snack is bulgogi shrimp pizza delivered from Earth and a cold can of cider each.”
At this rate, the exterior construction would be finished in a few days, right?
Once interior construction, windows, furniture and appliances were brought in, immediate occupancy would be possible.
Yama also watched the sales preview.
The sophisticated Earth apartments were much better to live in than the dreary Eophwagung.
As he stared blankly at the construction site, Dok-seon approached him.
“Your Majesty.”
“Oh, Dok-seon, you’re working hard.”
“Haha, Your Majesty is working much harder. The Earth sinners are…?”
“Naturally in Hell.”
“I can only apologize. Because of me and Tae-ju…”
Honestly, he felt sorry.
It was an undeniable fact that they were the cause of Earth’s sinners coming up to Hwangcheon.
“That’s not it. It has nothing to do with you two.”
“What do you mean…?”
Yama answered Danggumak who asked cautiously.
“How could the workings of heaven and earth be changed by the power of just a few people? The soul connection and sharing of objects too, a greater law was at work.”
“You mean?”
“It must have been necessary. The need to connect dimensions through souls as a medium.”
Well then.
He didn’t need to worry about it.
Suddenly!
Someone running frantically from far away.
“Your Majesty! Your Maaajesty! Your Maaaajesty!”
“…”
It’s Kang Rim again.
“Haah…”
Yama let out a deep sigh.
‘Damn bastard!’
How many times was this now?
All sources of stress started from that bastard’s fuss.
“Get lost! Scram! You bastard!”
“…What?”
“Don’t say anything! If you open your mouth, I’ll throw you into the Hell of Loose Tongues!”
“What, what did I do?”
He wanted to sew up his mouth, but he couldn’t do that with Dok-seon nearby.
“…Fine, babble away. If it’s nothing important, be prepared.”
“Well, the fate of the dead has been twisted.”
“Huh? Twisted?”
“A Saja went down to collect a soul, but someone intervened and he just came back.”
“Really?”
This was also a case that occurred occasionally.
Among humans, there were quite many who had supernatural powers that could even change predetermined fate.
Usually those who harbored the energy of Hwangcheon or the sprouts of good roots, Yama had experienced this many times.
“That’s nothing! Is there nothing else?”
“Of course there’s more.”
“You little bastard…”
Cunning bastard Kang Rim.
His speaking style was always like this.
He wouldn’t tell the core of the matter from the beginning and would slip it to the back.
Then later he’d drop the bombshell and secretly enjoy watching the other person’s surprised expression.
“Tell me the main point first, if you don’t want to die.”
“Uh, well, the person who intervened in fate was…”
“Hurry up and speak!”
“It’s Hero Tae-ju.”
“…What?”
Yama was shocked.
What was this about now?
Why was Tae-ju’s name suddenly mentioned?
“Did that Saja by any chance go to Earth?”
“Not at all. He went to Gangho. To the Sichuan Dang Clan.”
Dang Clan?
Danggumak, who was listening nearby, was also surprised.
“No, then you’re saying Tae-ju is at the Dang Clan?”
“Yes!”
What kind of situation was this?
Gangho!
If it were ascension to immortality, that would be one thing.
Kang Rim continued his explanation.
Starting from how current Gangho was operating.
One side of Danggumak’s chest ached.
To think the Dang Clan was in such a situation.
Even if he had ascended to immortality, blood ties were still blood ties.
Actually, such situations often occurred to newly ascended immortals.
Because worldly connections were tenacious and persistent.
If it hadn’t been Tae-ju, he might have gone down himself.
“Anyway, Dang Cheol-hwi’s fate has changed.”
Yama received Kang Rim’s words with an air of indifference.
“Changed? This was always meant to be his destiny.”
“I think so too.”
As if remembering something, Kang Rim grinned mischievously.
“Hehe, do you know what Dang Cheol-hwi said to Kim Tae-ju the moment he opened his eyes?”
“What did he say?”
“Father. He called him Father.”
“That’s understandable.”
Danggumak didn’t seem bothered by it either.
“He is his father. Tae-ju gave birth to me, and I am Tae-ju.”
“Is that so?”
Yama tilted his head for a moment.
Then he started sniffing around.
“What’s this now? Why do I smell tobacco wafting around here?”
“Eh, that’s probably just your imagination. Haha.”
“No, I definitely smell it.”
“…I don’t smell anything?”
Yama stared intently at Kang Rim.
“Bring it out.”
“…What?”
“I said bring it out! Do you want to get beaten first, or just hand it over?”
With trembling hands, Kang Rim pulled out a pack of tobacco cigarettes from his chest.
“Oh!”
Smooth, filtered tobacco cigarettes with a nice aftertaste.
A very precious and hard-to-obtain treasure.
The Shopping Mall used to sell filtered tobacco cigarettes in the early days, but not anymore.
Only liquid electronic cigarettes are allowed now.
Except for certain areas, all of Seon-gye World, the Multiplex, and Cheon-gye are designated no-smoking zones.
“Is this all you have?”
“…”
“Why aren’t you answering? You have more, don’t you?”
“…”
“Ha! Look at this bastard?”
Kang Rim remained silent.
Jeoseungsaja had brought 3 packs of tobacco.
2 packs were forcibly confiscated from those.
So while one was taken, he still had 1 more pack.
He couldn’t fool Yama King’s watchful eyes.
If he said he had more, it would be taken away again, and if he said he didn’t, his lie would be exposed.
Kang Rim absolutely refused to open his mouth.
