Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 131
He had merely thrown a fist attack, yet the mountain disappeared and flat ground was created.
The soldiers who witnessed Jeok Wigang’s absurd divine power froze like stone statues.
Clang-.
Someone’s weapon fell and broke the silence.
At that sound, the soldiers snapped back to their senses and threw their weapons to the ground in shock, as if they had touched something cursed.
“Th-the mountain disappeared!”
“A g-god! That person is a god!”
“Please forgive us! Please forgive us!”
“We truly didn’t know what we were doing! Please forgive us!”
“Please withdraw your anger! O God!”
The generals also lost their fighting spirit and threw down their weapons, dismounting their horses and prostrating themselves.
With this, the rebellion came to an end.
Jeok Wigang commanded the generals.
“Rally the soldiers and tell them all to gather on that plain over there.”
“Yes! Understood!”
Before the generals could even give orders, the soldiers were already running frantically toward the direction Jeok Wigang had pointed.
“The god told us to go that way!”
“Let’s hurry!”
It was like watching fanatics.
Seeing this sight, Jeok Wigang grinned and said.
“As expected, if you eliminate the head, everything gets resolved. I wonder if Hundred Demon Heaven would quiet down too if I got rid of the Heavenly Lord?”
“Rather than that, crushing them with overwhelming power in front of everyone would seem more effective.”
“Hmm… I can’t tell how strong the Heavenly Lord is… There’s no choice. I’ll just have to become stronger.”
Become even stronger from here?
It doesn’t seem necessary though.
“You guys need to get stronger together too. Right?”
“Us too?”
“Of course, you need to get stronger. You said there are tons of guys stronger than you in Hundred Demon Heaven. You’ll need to get stronger to face them.”
Son Gang and Ye Yahyeon looked at each other and spoke.
“Our main strength is poison though? It’ll be hard to get stronger from here.”
Then Jeok Wigang grinned wickedly and said.
“If you die and come back to life, you’re bound to get stronger.”
Shiver-.
What exactly did he mean by dying and coming back to life?
Did he really mean killing them?
Or was he saying he’d put them through training painful enough to make them wish they were dead?
It had to be the latter, right?
But why did they get this chilling feeling that he might actually kill them?
“We don’t have the right to refuse, do we?”
When Son Gang asked cautiously, Jeok Wigang grinned wickedly and said.
“You can refuse.”
“Really? Then I refuse…”
“Whether you refuse or not, I’m going to do it anyway. Well, if you don’t want to die, you’ll find a way to survive somehow. Right?”
This bastard was worse than a demon…
“Straighten your expression.”
“Yes…”
Son Gang hung his head low.
Meanwhile, the soldiers had lined up in perfect rows and columns, with the generals standing rigidly in front of them with strict military bearing.
Moving toward them, he muttered an incantation.
Then he slowly walked upward as if there were invisible stairs in the air.
The generals and soldiers watching this scene looked at Jeok Wigang with expressions of awe.
Soon, he climbed to a height where all the soldiers could see him, then stopped and looked around in all directions.
He could see that all the soldiers were focused on him.
“I am Grand Tutor Jeok Wigang, who has come here by His Majesty’s command to correct your wrongdoings! His benevolent Majesty works day and night to create a world where you can live in peace, so how could you commit such heinous acts!”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, the soldiers shed tears and prostrated themselves on the ground.
“We were wrong!”
“Your Majesty! Please forgive us!”
In an instant, it became a sea of tears.
The room fell silent again at Jeokwi-gang’s thunderous rebuke.
“Crying won’t solve anything! Your tears won’t make the sins you committed against His Majesty disappear!”
“Crying won’t solve anything! Your tears won’t make the crimes you committed against His Majesty disappear!”
“Then what should we do?”
“Then what should we do?”
“Please tell us the way!”
“Please tell me how!”
“There is one way. Return to your daily lives. And live each day thinking of His Majesty’s grace. That is enough!”
“There is only one way. Return to your daily life. And live each day thinking of His Majesty’s grace. That is enough!”
“Th-that’s all?”
“I-is that all?”
“That’s right. From now on, you will face a new world different from before. That world will be one where everyone except His Majesty the Emperor is equal. There will be no distinction of status, and it will be a world where anyone can do what they want to do.”
“That’s right. From now on, you will face a new world different from what you’ve known until now. That world will be one where everyone is equal, except for His Imperial Majesty. There will be no distinction of social status, and it will be a world where anyone can do what they want to do.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, the soldiers showed expressions of disbelief.
Could such a dreamlike world really come to pass?
Someone asked.
“We truly didn’t know His Majesty wanted to create such a world.”
“If we had known, we wouldn’t have followed those damned bastards to war!”
“How can we wash away this sin!”
“Yes. I know. That’s why I said you have no sin. But forgiveness comes only once. If such things happen again in the future, there will be no forgiveness, so spread the word to the people.”
“Yes!”
“Now, go back. To where your families are.”
At the Red Guard’s command, hundreds of thousands of soldiers simultaneously prostrated themselves on the ground and shouted.
“Emperor His Majesty! Long live! Long live! Long live forever!”
“Your Imperial Majesty! Long live! Long live! Long live forever!”
Through their mouths, the Emperor’s character would spread throughout the Central Plains.
People would think that an incomparably great sage ruler had appeared in the world, and would try to protect the Emperor by any means.
People will think that a great and unparalleled wise ruler has appeared in the world, and they will try to protect the emperor at all costs.
“It seems my work is finally finished.”
“You won’t need to worry about the Imperial Family anymore.”
“It seems my work is finally done.”
Baekma Heaven won’t be able to shake things recklessly either.”
“It seems the imperial family no longer needs to worry.”
“Right. Since I created Dongchang and Seochang to keep each other in check, neither side will be able to gain dominance.”
“Even the White Horse Heaven won’t be able to shake it recklessly.”
“There’s also the Imperial Guard.”
“That’s right. Since we created the East and West factions to keep each other in check, neither side will be able to gain too much power.”
“There are also the Imperial Guards.”
“I’m here too.”
The most terrifying existence was right here.
Jeok Wigang muttered as he watched the troops scatter in all directions.
“Everyone’s going home. Let’s go too.”
“Yes.”
***
Honam Jin Mu Sect.
Even while Jeok Wigang was away, the Jin Mu Sect continued to grow steadily.
And lately, Jin Mugun Jeok Rihyeon had one particular concern.
It was finding a spouse for the young Gate Master, Jeok Wiun.
The reason for his concern was precisely because of Jeok Wigang.
With the eldest son still around, arranging marriage for the second son first felt somehow uncomfortable.
But he couldn’t leave the successor who would lead the Jin Mu Sect unmarried forever either.
He needed to find him a spouse as soon as possible to continue the family line.
“This rascal said he was going to take the civil service exam, but there’s been no word. He should at least send news about whether he passed or failed.”
He wanted to discuss such important matters with Jeok Wigang, but with no news at all, he was worried.
That clever boy would surely give him some answer if he shared these concerns.
The complete silence was worrying.
With Taecheon by his side, nothing major should happen, but still, if an enemy stronger than Taecheon tried to harm him, he could be in danger.
He worried like this because he still didn’t know how strong Jeok Wigang had become.
If he had known, would he have slept peacefully?
Probably not even then.
That’s what a parent’s heart is like.
“Heartless boy. Does he even know I’m worrying about him?”
Why did he miss Jeok Wigang so much today in particular?
Jeok Rihyeon could only sigh.
“Were you here?”
At Yu Hwayeon’s voice, Jeok Rihyeon smiled and welcomed her.
“What brings you here?”
“You seemed unable to sleep last night, so I brought you some honey tea.”
“Thank you. Indeed, only my wife thinks of me like this.”
“You’re… worried about Wi Gang, aren’t you?”
“Sigh. Why hasn’t this boy sent any news…”
“They say no news is good news.”
“Even so, he should at least let us know whether he passed or failed.”
“Why are you being like this today? You know Wi Gang’s personality well. Do you miss him that much?”
“Of course. Missing your own child is the same feeling for any parent.”
Yu Hwayeon smiled.
Then she looked in the same direction and murmured.
“I miss him so much too. I wonder if our son is eating properly.”
“That rascal. Making even his mother worry. When he comes back, I’ll spank him.”
Yu Hwayeon covered her mouth and laughed at Jeok Rihyeon’s deliberately stern expression as he made threats.
Though he spoke like that, he had never once hit Jeok Wigang.
That’s when it happened.
“Will my bottom survive today? Father?”
Jeok Rihyeon’s head whipped around at the suddenly heard beloved voice.
Before his eyes stood his son, Jeok Wigang, whom he had missed so dearly.
“You… you… Is it really Wi Gang?”
“Yes. I, Jeok Wigang, have finally returned home.”
“Wi Gang! My son! Let me hug you!”
Jeok Rihyeon even used his Light Body Technique to rush over to hug his son, embracing him carefully lest he get hurt.
Feeling his father’s heart, his own heart warmed.
Home really is the best.
Jeok Wigang had heard his parents’ entire conversation before entering.
“I’m sorry for making you worry. I tried to contact you, but I was too busy to think straight.”
“Did something happen? You’re not hurt anywhere, are you?”
Behind Jeok Rihyeon, who was examining Jeok Wigang from all angles, Yu Hwayeon’s voice was heard.
“How long are you going to keep him all to yourself? I want to hug our son too.”
“Ah? Sorry.”
As Jeok Rihyeon stepped aside, Yu Hwayeon spread her arms.
“Come here, my son.”
At Yu Hwayeon’s words, Jeok Rigang approached and hugged him tightly.
“I’m back. Mother.”
“Yes. Welcome home. My son.”
As expected, our house is the best.
Jeok Wigang realized this once again in his mother’s warmth.
Jeok Rihyeon spotted Taecheon and spoke.
“You’ve worked hard training with Wigang all this time. Rest well for a while.”
“No sir. I’m comfortable by Young Master’s side.”
“Do as you wish. But who are those people?”
Jeok Rihyeon’s eyes fell on Son Gang, Ye Yahyeon, and Chu Sohwan.
“These are people who became my subordinates during this journey. Pay your respects to my parents.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, the three people bowed respectfully.
“Greetings. My name is Son Gang.”
“I am Ye Yahyeon.”
“I am Chu Sohwan.”
To this, Jeok Rihyeon smiled and said.
“To think you have such connections with our son, how delightful this is. We shouldn’t just stand here, we should properly welcome our guests. Wife.”
“Yes. Today I should show off my skills after such a long time. I’ll also make our son’s favorite food.”
At the mention of favorite food, Jeok Wigang’s eyes sparkled.
“Please make a lot. I really missed Mother’s cooking.”
Pleased by Jeok Wigang’s enthusiastic reaction, she smiled and nodded.
“Yes. I’ll make sure our son can eat to his heart’s content, so wait for it.”
“Yes. Mother!”
The three people couldn’t adapt to seeing Jeok Wigang so incredibly obedient.
A side they had never seen before.
Now they understood why Jeok Wigang had moved so decisively in the Imperial Palace for his family.
If something were to happen to this family?
Then the world would truly meet a demon.
A demon that could destroy the world.
Gulp-.
With that thought, he truly realized how dangerous a place the Jin Mu Sect was.
He also realized that they could only survive by protecting this place.
If they failed to protect it, that wrath would reach them first.
“But Father. Are you going to arrange Wiun’s marriage?”
“Of course. He’s the heir in name, so wouldn’t it look odd for him to remain alone?”
“That’s true.”
“Don’t you have any thoughts about it?”
“No. I don’t particularly have any thoughts about it.”
“Still, you’re the eldest son of our house, so wouldn’t it be good to set an example? Wasn’t there any young lady who caught your eye while you went to take the civil examination?”
“No.”
“Ah! How did the civil examination go?”
