Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 118

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Muscle Twisting Poison? If it’s a poison that twists muscles, shouldn’t they have kept twisting even when they fainted earlier?”

 

“If there’s no movement, it doesn’t react. Earlier, because they fainted, there was no movement so it didn’t react, but it seems to have started reacting when we touched them.”

 

“Ugh. So that’s why it reacted more severely when I touched them?”

 

“It seems so.”

 

 

 

The Captain who was examining the Eunuchs’ condition shook his head.

 

 

 

“They don’t seem to be in any condition to answer. Isn’t there an antidote for this?”

 

“There is, but since the poison has already spread to the muscles, even if we inject it, they’ll maintain this state for the whole day.”

 

“Fine. It seems we’ve taken this Jeok Wigang fellow too lightly. It looks like we need to know information about Jeok Wigang, so find out about him in detail.”

 

“Understood.”

 

“Sigh. Ever since That Guy entered, the Royal Palace seems to have gotten noisier.”

 

“It was shocking when I heard that the Hanlin Academy Scholars resigned as a group.”

 

“Because of that, aren’t the officials from the Six Ministries also leaving one after another, damn it. What’s the point of touching the Hanlin Academy? This is why you shouldn’t put a country bumpkin on the Emperor’s throne. It’s just made things more complicated.”

 

“Even if we become the real power in the Imperial Palace, it’ll be a headache. Where are we going to fill all those working positions again?”

 

“What can we do. Damn it! We’ll have to offer better conditions to the Hanlin Academy, blast it. Thanks to this, we have to share portions we didn’t need to give. Damn Jeok Wigang.”

 

“We must definitely catch him and tear him limb from limb.”

 

“He doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person. Didn’t he cleanly handle the Northern Border affairs and come back? We thought too lightly of him. Now that we know he’s no pushover, we should prepare accordingly.”

 

“Understood. I’ll definitely collect information about him.”

 

“Right. Find out everything. What That Guy eats, how many times a day he relieves himself, everything.”

 

“Yes!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The talents selected by Jeok Wigang gathered in one place.

 

Everyone was bewildered, not knowing what this was about, asking each other if they knew anything, but no one knew.

 

Then one person spoke.

 

 

 

“Looking at the faces of the people who came here, I recognize quite a few. From what I can see, calling us here doesn’t seem to be for ordinary business.”

 

 

 

Another person also replied to him.

 

 

 

“I think the same. The people gathered here are all talents of Hao Gate without exception. Gathering such people in one place means there’s something big happening.”

 

“I’m really curious what that big thing might be.”

 

 

 

While everyone was murmuring and speculating, someone opened the door and entered.

 

 

 

“Is this the place?”

 

 

 

People were surprised to see the person entering while muttering.

 

 

 

“Isn’t, isn’t that person Ghost Calculator?”

 

“Is that person the Ghost Calculator who’s called the god of calculations?”

 

“No way, they even called Ghost Calculator? What on earth is this about?”

 

 

 

The Arena became more chaotic with Ghost Calculator’s appearance.

 

 

 

“Why is this place so noisy? Won’t you be quiet?”

 

 

 

When they turned their heads at someone’s shout, one person who had been lying quietly in the corner was shouting with an expression full of irritation.

 

 

 

“Gasp! It’s Insimdo Yu Muncheol!”

 

“They even called that human scum?”

 

 

 

One person pushed through the surprised people and came out to calm the Arena.

 

 

 

“Hahaha! Everyone seems excited, so let’s calm down first. Gathering only talents like this surely means Hao Gate has some big event, and we’ve been selected as the main players of that event, haven’t we?”

 

“It’s Snow Sword!”

 

“Even Snow Sword came!”

 

 

 

When people recognized him, he spoke with a pleased smile.

 

 

 

“Hahaha. I don’t know where to put myself when you recognize this unworthy person like this. Everyone here is more excellent than me. You’re all people who have lived earnestly in your own lives. But now we’ve gathered here without knowing why. Are you afraid of this current situation?”

 

“No.”

 

“Hahaha! If you’re not afraid, then enjoy it. All the talents of Hao Gate have gathered, so surely nothing bad will happen, right?”

 

 

 

People nodded at Snow Sword’s words.

 

 

 

“Hmph! I’m busy to death and they make me come all the way here. What fool built this building like this? Ugh!”

 

 

 

A person looking at the building structure with displeasure.

 

 

 

“Heavenly Craftsman!”

 

“You all have quite a lot of things you’re hiding, don’t you?”

 

“Gasp! It’s, it’s Black White Heart!”

 

 

 

With Black White Heart’s appearance, people all stepped back in a rush.

 

 

 

“All five of Hao Gate’s Five Craftsmen have gathered!”

 

“What on earth is this about?”

 

 

 

Looking around at those who were afraid, Black White Heart spoke.

 

 

 

“Getting scared. Don’t worry. I won’t eat you.”

 

 

 

As the Arena stirred again with Black White Heart’s appearance, Snow Sword frowned.

 

 

 

“I worked hard to soothe them and you’re disrupting that? Knowing that everyone fears you, do you have to reveal it like that?”

 

“I have to show that I’ve arrived. Don’t I? You’re the one who should shut that mouth of yours. Aren’t you tired? Chattering like that all day long?”

 

 

 

While Snow Sword and Black White Heart were bickering, someone else entered, and it instantly became quiet as everyone bowed their heads in unison.

 

 

 

“We greet the Gate Master!”

 

 

 

It was Hao Gate Master.

 

 

 

“Everyone worked hard coming all the way here.”

 

“This isn’t the Hao Gate Main Base, so why did you tell us to gather here?”

 

 

 

At Snow Sword’s question, Hao Gate Master nodded and said.

 

 

 

“You must all be curious about that. But it’s not my place to explain. Someone else will provide the explanation.”

 

“Someone else, you say? Who?”

 

“It’s the Supreme Gate Master.”

 

 

 

At the mention of Supreme Gate Master, people began murmuring.

 

 

 

“Are we finally going to meet the Supreme Gate Master we’ve only heard about?”

 

“That’s right. Insimdo, Ghost Calculator, Snow Sword, Black White Heart, Heavenly Craftsman, come forward.”

 

 

 

The five people tilted their heads curiously as their names were called and stepped forward.

 

 

 

“You follow me, and the rest wait a little longer.”

 

“Where are we going?”

 

 

 

When Snow Sword asked, Hao Gate Master answered.

 

 

 

“The Supreme Gate Master wants to see you first. Follow me.”

 

“Hahaha! What an honor this is. Let’s go quickly.”

 

 

 

Only Snow Sword urged them forward with an expectant expression, while the others followed behind with indifferent looks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I’ve brought them.”

 

 

 

The Five Craftsmen of Hao Gate showed surprised expressions at seeing Hao Gate Master’s respectful demeanor for the first time.

 

Snow Sword was gritting his teeth, trying to contain his excitement.

 

 

 

“Come in.”

 

 

 

A young voice.

 

When the door opened and they entered, there were two people wearing official robes – one sitting naturally in the seat of honor, and one standing to the side with a blade at his waist like a guard.

 

Snow Sword immediately recognized what that blade was.

 

 

 

“Suchun Sword! Golden Guards!”

 

 

 

He shouted loudly without realizing it and quickly covered his mouth.

 

The two people in official robes were Jeok Wigang and Ye Yahyeon.

 

At Snow Sword’s outburst, Ye Yahyeon frowned and brought his index finger to his lips.

 

Snow Sword nodded and stepped back.

 

 

 

“Lord. I apologize. This fellow tends to talk too much.”

 

“It’s fine. That can happen.”

 

 

 

He patted Hao Gate Master reassuringly and stood up from his seat to speak.

 

 

 

“Nice to meet you. I am Jeok Wigang.”

 

 

 

Seeing the Five Craftsmen standing there blankly at Jeok Wigang’s greeting, Hao Gate Master spoke in an angry voice.

 

 

 

“Why are you just standing there like that! He is the owner of Hao Gate!”

 

 

 

At those words, Insimdo spoke in a displeased tone.

 

 

 

“Well. I’ve never acknowledged that, have I?”

 

 

 

At Insimdo’s words, Ghost Calculator, Black White Heart, and Heavenly Craftsman nodded.

 

 

 

“That’s right. We’ve never acknowledged it either. Just because Gate Master serves him as owner doesn’t mean all of Hao Gate must follow him.”

 

“We follow Hao Gate, not Gate Master.”

 

“When did you ever give us so much as a word of notice? You arbitrarily appointed a new owner and just informed us, and now you say he’s the owner? We cannot acknowledge this.”

 

 

 

Sharp attitudes.

 

Snow Sword stepped forward in response.

 

 

 

“Hahaha. Well now. I apologize. Everyone is quite disappointed that Supreme Gate Master was installed without a word. I would be grateful if you could understand this with your generous magnanimity.”

 

 

 

At Snow Sword’s words, Jeok Wigang nodded.

 

 

 

“Yes. I understand that feeling. If someone I didn’t acknowledge suddenly became the owner of Hao Gate, I would be dissatisfied too. Good. I’ll earn your acknowledgment. What must I do for you to acknowledge me?”

 

 

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, Heavenly Craftsman snorted and said.

 

 

 

“I cannot acknowledge anyone who isn’t better at construction than me.”

 

 

 

At that, Hao Gate Master flared up.

 

 

 

“What? So you weren’t acknowledging me either?”

 

“Now you understand? I’m just staying because I like Hao Gate, but I’ve never once served you as my lord.”

 

 

 

Ghost Calculator said.

 

 

 

“I also don’t want to serve someone weaker at calculations than me as my lord. To earn my acknowledgment, you must be faster at calculations than me.”

 

 

 

Black White Heart said.

 

 

 

“I don’t need all that. As long as that person’s energy is something I can acknowledge.”

 

 

 

Insimdo waved his hands dismissively.

 

 

 

“I have no intention of acknowledging anyone, and no desire to associate with officials. I don’t know what this matter is about, but leave me out of it.”

 

 

 

With those words, Insimdo tried to leave.

 

At that moment, Jeok Wigang’s voice was heard.

 

 

 

“When you were young, your parents were falsely accused and no one helped them, and because of that, your parents still can’t move properly even now, right?”

 

 

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, Insimdo whipped around and glared at Jeok Wigang with a frightening expression.

 

 

 

“Did you investigate me?”

 

“I didn’t investigate. I’m speaking based on information provided by Hao Gate.”

 

“That’s right. If you read information about me, you’d know how much I hate government officials.”

 

“Don’t be like that. I’ll give you an opportunity.”

 

“What kind of opportunity?”

 

“An opportunity to clear your parents’ false accusations.”

 

“Ha! It’s too late. Even if the false accusations are cleared, it’s not like my parents’ bodies will return to normal.”

 

“What if I make them return to normal?”

 

 

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, Insimdo’s expression became fierce and menacing.

 

 

 

“Are you mocking me now? Or do I look like a fool to you? I’ve called all the renowned physicians. Every single one said it was impossible. So don’t even think about planting false hope. It won’t work on me.”

 

“Why do you think it won’t work? It might be possible. And we should clear your parents’ grievances and show them their son’s magnificent appearance too.”

 

“Just how exactly will you clear their grievances? Those people have higher status and more possessions than me. No matter how much I struggle, I can’t defeat them.”

 

“You just need to become like them. Don’t you think?”

 

“Do you think that’s possible?”

 

“I’m telling you I’ll give you the opportunity.”

 

“Haah…”

 

 

 

Insimdo slumped down to the ground.

 

 

 

“Fine. I’ll listen. Just what kind of opportunity are you talking about?”

 

 

 

At that, Jeok Wigang smiled coldly and said.

 

 

 

“Are you acknowledging me?”

 

“Acknowledge? Hahaha. No, I’m just saying I’ll listen.”

 

“Then if I cure your parents, will you acknowledge me?”

 

“Just acknowledgment? I’ll serve you as my lord.”

 

“Good. Then let’s start with one person.”
