Chapter 204: Direct Delivery

Hwangcheon-gye Eophwagung.

The interior had become chaotic due to the Immortals’ unreasonable protest.

There were more Immortals than Saja, Chasa, and Pangwan combined.

Clone monkeys could be seen scattered here and there as well.

The scale of the protesters couldn’t be ignored.

All of them wore headbands reading ‘Unity and Struggle’ on their foreheads.

“Yama King should…”

When Danju Seonin, who makes talismans, led the chant.

“Wake up! Wake up!”

The Immortals waved one hand and shouted.

“Send us to Gangho Murim…”

“Please send us! Please send us!”

For Yama and the other Hwangcheon-gye administrators, this was maddening.

Immortals occupying Eophwagung and holding a demonstration.

Was this influx of Earth culture a positive or negative function?

They wanted to tie them all up and throw them into hell, but it wasn’t easy.

One or two would be manageable, but when they banded together like this, they were difficult to handle.

Moreover, that Swordsman bastard had even brought Jecheon Daeseong, who had become his soul mate.

Well, if they had truly done something wrong, he was prepared to accept it.

But wasn’t this clearly unreasonable by anyone’s standards?

“Trading with Kim Tae-ju through the gate is no different from smuggling.”

“That’s right. Earth goods should only be distributed through Dok-seon’s Shared Warehouse.”

“Reveal the details of Jeoseungsaja dispatches and the types and quantities of goods received as tribute.”

“How many went where? You must have sent them down through loopholes. Did you bring back any souls?”

“Hwangcheon-gye is running quite well.”

“If you send us to the Human Realm too, we’ll turn a blind eye.”

Yama showed no concern on his face.

He calmly took out a cigarette and lit it.

“So what?”

The Immortals spoke as if they were dumbfounded.

“This is outrageous?”

“No, why is he so brazen? Smoking tribute cigarettes so openly.”

“He conducts his own investigations and makes his own judgments, so he has nothing to fear.”

“Since it’s come to this, let’s go with a hearing.”

“How about creating the Hwangsu Office? The Hwangcheon-gye High-ranking Public Official Crime Investigation Office.”

“That’s right. There should at least be a oversight agency.”

Yama honestly thought it wasn’t even worth responding to.

How could he send this many Immortals to the Human Realm?

They knew it wasn’t possible either.

That’s why they didn’t go to Cheon-gye and came to the easier target, Hwangcheon-gye.

They had a history of similar protests that tormented Taesang Nogoon before.

Protesting was also a form of entertainment for them.

Those crazy Immortal bastards just wanted to imitate what they saw in movies and TV.

‘Speaking of which, it’s about time.’

Yama had prepared a countermeasure.

Fight fire with fire.

Catch Immortals with Immortals.

Suddenly!

Step by step, someone entered Eophwagung.

The other Immortals were startled.

“Huh?”

“Who told him?”

“He must be busy with construction.”

“…Cowardly! Yama!”

It was Dok-seon.

“Phew.”

As soon as he arrived, he let out a deep sigh.

“Do you all have your wits about you or not?”

Flinch!

The Immortals lowered their heads and avoided eye contact.

“If you have nothing to do, come to the apartment construction site and do concrete formwork, or go to the steel workshop and draw rebar, or if you can’t do that, at least carry bricks.”

Swordsman quietly untied the Unity and Struggle headband from his forehead.

Danggumak frowned and spoke sarcastically.

“Why are you taking that off? It suits you well, keep wearing it.”

“…Ah, no, I only put it on because my forehead was sweating.”

“If you led the protest, you should take responsibility to the end…”

“Led? Danju Seonin over there is the ringleader.”

Danju Seonin, who was branded as the ringleader, frantically waved his hands in denial.

“I, I was just pushed into it? They said I was the only Immortal who would step forward because I have a loud, booming voice.”

“Who said that?”

“…Gonryun Seonin.”

Dok-seon looked at Gonryun Seonin and demanded an explanation.

“Ah, no, Ju-seon said if he gently tickled and praised Danju Seonin, he would step forward… Really! He fell for just one cocktail.”

Of course, Ju-seon (Wine Immortal) also firmly denied it.

“Actually, there’s someone else behind this. It’s Swordsman. He ordered it. He said since Kim Tae-ju, that golden goblin, gives whatever we ask for, it was a chance to save coins… Let’s tour the Human Realm and have a grand time.”

Round and round, it came back to Swordsman.

“Swordsman, do you have nothing to say?”

“Actually, this monkey here…”

“When did I! Who was it that dragged me here!”

“Shh!”

He knew it would come to this.

There’s a saying in the Immortal Realm: when something happens, first find out where Swordsman is.

It means that all incidents and accidents originate from Swordsman.

“The dark mastermind of the Immortal Realm, Swordsman – it suits you. Why don’t you change your immortal name to Black Immortal while you’re at it?”

“Hmm, I, I think there’s a misunderstanding.”

“Tsk tsk, where did all that passion go when you used to build Seongyae Road alone?”

“…”

Danggumak also questioned Jecheon Daeseong.

“You seem to be getting along perfectly with Swordsman lately. Abandoning your business too.”

“Oc, occasionally rest is necessary…”

“Shall I let you rest comfortably then?”

“Wh, what?”

“Since your delivery business is a monopoly, there’s been talk about it here and there. Mi-ho Seon-ja from Hwansu Realm said she wants to try the delivery business too, so I was thinking of allowing it.”

“Uh oh…”

Jecheon Daeseong grabbed Danggumak’s pant leg and pleaded.

“I, I was short-sighted. I’ll never look elsewhere again and be a sound businessman…”

That’s when it happened.

Whirrrr!

The sound of a gate opening could be heard from somewhere.

Crackle, crack! Crackle!

Chains made of light bound Danggumak.

“Huh?”

“…Oh!”

“Wh-what is this phenomenon?”

A phenomenon that occurs when the same soul exists together in close proximity.

Then that means?

“…Hero Tae-ju?”

“Tsk, I’m one step too late.”

“Ah, you should have come just a little later.”

“Of all places, it had to be where Dok-seon is.”

“Still, should we try asking for something?”

“Don’t you see Dok-seon glaring at us?”

“Grr!”

Tae-ju wore an awkward expression hearing the disappointed grumbling of the Immortals.

He thought they’d be happy to see him.

Though he could guess what the situation was.

The Jeoseungsaja who came out after him.

Grabbing the hair of some human wearing red robes.

“What’s that bastard supposed to be?”

“Must be a sinner. He’s being dragged by his hair by a Saja.”

“…But he’s alive?”

“That’s right, why did they bring him here alive?”

Crackle, crack! Crackle!

The chains of light went back and forth between Tae-ju and Danggumak.

They pulled each other with fierce force, but neither moved an inch.

“Those two can’t even be dragged away anymore.”

“Well, it wouldn’t matter if they stuck together from now on.”

“Oh my! It would be terrible if they merged.”

Tae-ju and Danggumak’s eyes met.

Even more.

‘Hmm?’

‘Oh!’

Their soul connection was established simultaneously.

The memories and experiences they had gone through began to be shared.

Earth’s affairs, the Immortal Realm’s affairs, the martial world’s affairs, and so on.

A fact realized in the process.

The explosion from the side effects of soul merging – it seemed like it could be overcome if done well.

In other words, Danggumak and himself becoming one without an explosion.

Danggumak would feel the same way.

They could definitely do it.

The two becoming one, that is.

If they really became one?

They would gain tremendous power.

Since they would absorb all the power each possessed, plus the explosive energy, and become one.

‘So this was possible.’

What if multiple identical souls existed in the multiverse?

And if they smoothly merged into a single soul?

‘It might be the path to becoming a god.’

But the problem is…

‘Who becomes the main one?’

Would Tae-ju become the center and absorb Danggumak, or would Danggumak become the center and absorb Tae-ju?

‘…Ridiculous.’

Is there any need to worry about this?

He wasn’t going to do it anyway.

‘Merging my ass!’

Even if their souls were the same, they should remain as independent beings.

Dok-seon Danggumak seemed to think the same.

He just smiled wickedly and shook his head left and right.

Anyway.

“Welcome. Who knew the Dragon Orb and Dragon Heart had such abilities.”

“Indeed.”

“…Thank you for looking after the Dang Clan.”

“That’s my job.”

Since their souls were connected, there was no need to ask for details.

“Go to the Immortal Realm first. Baekcheonin will be in Seon-gye World.”

“Hahaha, yes, I should see his face after so long.”

Namgung Hun, whose hair was being grabbed by the Saja, couldn’t come to his senses.

What was this sight right now?

‘Th-there are two Danggumaks?’

Young Danggumak, old Danggumak.

Which was the real Danggumak? It seemed like the older one.

Actually, that wasn’t the only surprising thing.

They were also present at this place.

The Immortals with the elegant and dignified demeanor that Namgung Hun had always imagined.

‘Which one among them is the Swordsman?’

Tae-ju glanced at Namgung Hun, then crossed through the door leading to the Immortal Realm.

The Immortals also slowly moved toward the door to follow Tae-ju.

“Ahem! Shall we get going?”

“We’ve left the multiplex empty for too long.”

“Oh right! Did I turn off the air conditioner when I left?”

“Oh! I got a delivery arrival message. I should go receive it.”

However.

“Everyone stop. Shouldn’t we tie up loose ends before leaving?”

Dok-seon stopped them with a firm attitude.

“Everyone apologize to Yama King.”

Naturally, the Immortals rebelled.

“The ringleader has been revealed.”

“Right. It was the Swordsman, the Swordsman.”

“We’re not guilty.”

“If only the Swordsman hadn’t instigated us…”

“Take responsibility, Swordsman!”

However, the Swordsman played dumb with an expression of not knowing what they meant.

“When did I instigate anything? Do you have proof?”

Namgung Hun’s eyes sparkled.

Swordsman? Really the Swordsman?

‘Then that person is…’

He was moved.

He had met the person he had dreamed of.

So Namgung Hun took advantage of the moment when the Jeoseungsaja’s grip weakened and shook free, then.

“Swordsman! I, I wanted to meet you. I have been admiring you.”

He firmly grasped the Swordsman’s hand.

“…Who?”

“My name is Namgung Hun. I come from the Namgung Family that has practiced swordsmanship for generations, and I use Changgung Muae Sword and Emperor Sword Form as my main martial arts.”

“Oh! You say you practice the sword?”

“Yes, though I’m ashamed, I’m striving to become your successor, Swordsman.”

“Hahaha, if you use a sword, then you’re indeed my successor.”

The Swordsman seemed to be showing off to the Immortals.

His expression said, ‘Look, this is the kind of person I am!’

But if it’s the Namgung Family?

“Then you must know Dok-seon who just ascended. He was called Jeoldaedokma in the mortal world.”

“Ha! You mean that bastard? He’s a cunning fellow who uses poison and hidden weapons. Such a person isn’t even a martial artist. I truly don’t know how he ascended. Even now, seeing him arrogantly frame you, Swordsman, with his schemes…”

What?

Why is this bastard acting like this?

The Swordsman was flustered.

And the Immortals wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

“Wow! So the sinner from hell was the Swordsman’s successor.”

“I knew this would happen. Those who take pride in wielding swords are all like that.”

“Huh! I too achieved enlightenment through the sword at Mount Mudang, but I have no such successor.”

“Don’t slander people who use swords. Do you think they’re all like the Swordsman?”

“That bastard seems to know Dok-seon. How about it? Do you know him well?”

Dok-seon spoke bluntly.

“Of course I know! The clothes he’s wearing are treasures I left behind. Tsk tsk, he shamelessly stole them. Because of that, my child almost died, and he even schemed to destroy the Dang Clan in the mortal world.”

Danggumak knew all the facts through his soul connection with Tae-ju.

“That! That! That… wicked bastard.”

“He’s completely filled with inferiority complex and jealousy.”

“Indeed, physiognomy is science.”

“He resembles the Swordsman. Is he a connection made in the mortal world?”

“Probably so.”

“Why don’t you take him as a disciple while you’re at it.”

The startled Swordsman immediately shook off Namgung Hun’s hand and rushed to Danggumak.

It was truly a major crisis.

If he wasn’t careful, he might get entangled with that bastard.

It seems like his family and Dok-seon’s family were enemies in the mortal world.

This could lead to big trouble.

What if he gets banned from the multiplex or forcibly suspended from using the shopping mall?

“Dok-seon! I, I believe you know this is all a misunderstanding. I have no connection whatsoever with that bastard.”

“Hmm, to call it a misunderstanding, the circumstances are…”

“No! How do you see me! Please believe in my, my, my innocence.”

Namgung Hun was simply dumbfounded at this sight.

This was the Swordsman he had dreamed of meeting.

The master of swords.

The god of swordsmanship.

Any martial artist who uses a sword would think similarly to himself.

But that great Swordsman was taking such a lowly posture toward that demon bastard?

He was struggling so pathetically that it was unbearable to watch.

‘What on earth is…?’

This shouldn’t be happening.

The Swordsman in his heart wasn’t such a person.

So he cried out desperately.

“Swordsman! Please don’t do that. How can you bow your head to that vicious poison…”

Instantly!

Swoosh!

The Swordsman flew forward.

He planned to at least slap him to shut that bastard’s mouth first.

He was very urgent.

If this continued, he would inevitably become part of the same group as this sinner from hell.

So he put in excessive force.

The Swordsman, the strongest in the Immortal Realm, who matched the power of Jecheon Daeseong and possessed the martial prowess to cut down even dragon-god level dragons from other realms in one strike.

“Shut up! You bastard!”

Thwack!

No matter how much Namgung Hun had risen to the ranks of the greatest masters in the Human Realm, the Swordsman’s slap delivered with all his might was bound to be fatal.

Craaack!

Crunch!

“Keeek!”

His neck bones broke from a single slap.

Namgung Hun collapsed, letting out a single scream.

“Hmm.”

Was the force too strong?

The Swordsman scratched his head, then immediately stripped the red robe from Namgung Hun’s body and offered it to Dok-seon.

“Here…”

“….”

Right at that moment!

Whoosh!

Namgung Hun’s soul emerged from the corpse.

The Immortals admired this sight.

“He was dragged to hell while alive and had his soul extracted immediately.”

“Is that what they call direct delivery?”

“Direct delivery… that doesn’t seem quite right. It’s not like he’s some fish from a farm.”

“Anyway, Yama King, is the Swordsman going to hell?”

Yama King spoke with a regretful expression.

“Unfortunately, it’s not a trip to hell. I too would love to throw the Swordsman into hell… but that bastard was a sinner anyway, destined to die here.”

The Immortals also looked disappointed.

“What a pity.”

“We could have seen the first Immortal to be dragged to hell.”

“Well, there will be another opportunity next time.”

Glare!

The Swordsman fiercely glared at the Immortals.
