Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 137
At The Man’s words, the three Gate Masters spoke with expressions of disbelief.
“What? Are you mocking us right now?”
“Mocking you? I’m speaking with complete sincerity.”
“Shut up! If you’re determined to receive punishment… Fine! Let’s do this!”
Swoosh-.
As the Cheonggang Gate Master drew his sword, hundreds of warriors behind him also drew their swords in unison.
“I’ll give you one last chance. If you promise to leave This Place by tomorrow, I’ll quietly withdraw today.”
“It’s too late.”
“What?”
“The moment you drew your sword, our children moved. If you don’t want to die, don’t move.”
“What are you talking about…”
He couldn’t finish his words.
Because he felt a cold and chilling sensation on his neck.
When he looked down slightly, a sharp dagger was already aimed at his throat.
“Shh.”
Someone whispered in his ear.
Shiver-.
Goosebumps rose on his skin.
When on earth?
When he turned his eyes to the side, all the warriors who had come to This Place were already subdued.
“Now then, pick out only the useful ones and bring them over here.”
At those words, the Howigate warriors grinned and examined the warriors they were threatening.
“This one seems useful?”
“This one’s not bad either.”
“Come on, move forward. Otherwise your head will fly off.”
A gentle voice and actions that were anything but.
In an instant, the ranks were divided.
A formation of useful martial artists and one of those who were not.
“Now, the useful ones here will undergo systematic guard training and become members of the Guard Gate. Anyone who doesn’t like this idea, raise your hand.”
There was no one who would raise their hand.
The moment they raised their hand, they could feel sharp killing intent from all directions that seemed like their necks would fly off.
Everyone kept their heads deeply bowed and only watched for signs.
“You all agree to becoming guard warriors, right?”
There was no answer.
“What’s going on? No answer?”
As soon as those words ended, screams of agony began to be heard from all directions.
“Kyaaaah!”
“Kheuk!”
“Ueoeoek!”
Warriors shedding tears and snot from pain.
“We’ll do anything!”
“Please, please!”
Warriors pleading desperately.
“I’ll give you one more chance. You all agree to becoming guard warriors, right?”
“Yes!”
A resounding answer.
Only then did he nod as if satisfied.
“What should we do with those guys?”
The martial artists classified as not useful were visible.
“Put them to menial work. We’ve been complaining about being short-handed anyway.”
“Understood.”
The Gate Masters of Cheonggang Gate and Hwageom Gate could only watch in a daze as their subordinates were dragged away miserably.
The Administrator who had first come out to greet them smiled and gave a cupped fist salute.
“We received the gift well. As a token of gratitude, we’ll spare your lives.”
Gulp-.
“Th, thank you.”
The Administrator smiled and spoke to the three terrified Gate Masters.
“We won’t be seeing each other again after today, right?”
“Y, yes.”
“I, I’m planning to close my sect immediately and go back to my hometown to farm.”
“Farming. That’s a good idea. Well then, I’m busy so I won’t see you off far. Take care on your way.”
“Th, thank you.”
“It seems you understand well, so let me confirm once more before sending you off.”
After the Administrator turned and returned to the Escort Gate, the Warriors who had been pointing daggers spoke quietly.
“You understood well, right?”
The Gate Masters nodded their heads.
“You need to answer.”
“Ah, we understood!”
“Good.”
As the cold feeling at their throats disappeared, the three Gate Masters frantically escaped from that place, drenched in cold sweat.
***
The Gate Masters of Blue River Sect, Fire Sword Sect, and Iron Mountain Sect ran frantically and finally caught their breath at a place far from the Escort Gate.
When the Escort Gate was no longer visible, their fearful emotions subsided and shame rose up.
“Damn it!”
Tears even flowed down due to the overwhelming shame and wounded pride.
The three people stood with their backs to each other in silence, trying to compose their emotions.
“How should we repay this humiliation…”
“We were too hasty. We should have conducted proper investigation before going.”
“What will you do now? All our elite forces were taken by those damn bastards, and when we return, only the dregs remain. I’m worried. Whether we can rebuild and lead our sects with them.”
Everyone let out a sigh.
Then the Fire Sword Gate Master spoke as if something had occurred to him.
“I have a good idea.”
“What is it?”
“We’ll drive a wedge between Jin Mu Sect and the Guard Gate, making the two forces clash.”
“Jin Mu Sect, you say?”
“That’s right. If we go to Jin Mu Sect and tell them of our grievances, Jin Mugun will surely step forward. Given how arrogant those Guard Gate bastards looked, they’ll surely pull the same stunt on Jin Mugun as they did to us.”
“Oh!”
“Then Jin Mugun won’t stand for it, and a fight will break out between the two forces. In the meantime, we can extract our people.”
“Will those who already left return to us?”
“They didn’t go because they wanted to—they were forced to go. Of course they’ll come back when we call them, won’t they?”
“Right! Considering how much we’ve done for those guys. They’ll definitely return.”
“If we tell our people to join forces with Jin Mu Sect and attack the Guard Gate, those bastards will fall into great confusion.”
“That’s truly a good idea. Let’s go to Jin Mu Sect right away.”
***
Jin Mugun Jeok Rihyeon was receiving guests who had suddenly come to see him.
“You’ve established a sect in Yullyang County? Welcome.”
“Thank you for welcoming us. Though we call it a sect, you can think of it as a company that handles escort services and cargo transport.”
Cargo transport, they say.
He had been needing escorts anyway, and the Guard Gate appeared at just the right time.
‘Did Wi Gang pull some strings?’
Such a sect appearing as if they’d been waiting made him think such thoughts.
“So that’s why the sect is called Guard Gate?”
“That’s right. I heard that Jin Mu Sect also has a trading company. If you need our people, please call on us anytime. Since we’re neighbors, we’ll serve you at a reasonable price.”
“Hahaha! We were just troubled by a shortage of escorts. You didn’t come knowing all this, did you?”
“No. We just established the sect, so we’ve been too busy to think of anything else. If you tell us how many you need, we’ll calculate the cost and send them to you.”
“For now, we need thirty escorts immediately.”
“Thirty people? You must really be in a hurry.”
“That’s right. We need to depart for cargo transport toward the fortress, but we’re short on people and were about to give up and postpone departure.”
“Then since this is our first deal, we’ll do it for half price.”
“Half price? Really?”
“We’re doing it as a gesture of goodwill for future business.”
“Hahaha. Excellent.”
“Please take care of us from now on.”
“We should be the ones asking you to take care of us.”
It was while they were exchanging warm greetings with each other.
A subordinate quietly entered and whispered to Jeok Rihyeon.
“The Gate Masters of Cheonggang Gate, Hwa Sword Gate, and Iron Mountain Gate have come to visit.”
“Why would they suddenly come?”
“I don’t know. They’re urgently looking for the Gate Master.”
“Urgently?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm.”
What could it be?
Seeing them all come rushing here like this, it must be something serious.
“I’m sorry. Something urgent has come up, so may I go take care of some business?”
“Of course. Please go take care of your business comfortably.”
“I’ll treat you to a drink when I return, so please rest comfortably.”
“Yes. I’ll be waiting.”
As Jeok Rihyeon went outside, he earnestly instructed his subordinates.
“He’s an honored guest, so don’t be discourteous.”
“Yes!”
After Jeok Rihyeon left like that, the person sitting alone in the Reception Hall.
That was none other than Jin Muryang.
Then the door opened and someone entered.
Thinking that someone from Jin Mu Sect had come with something to serve him, he didn’t turn his gaze.
But then.
“So it really was you?”
When he turned his head at the familiar voice, Jeok Wigang was there.
“Dae-hyeong?”
“I felt your energy so I came to check just in case, and I was right.”
Jeok Wigang slowly walked over and sat across from him.
“Were you already here?”
“Oh. Why are you so late?”
“I apologize. It took time because we were integrating with Nameless Hall into one.”
“With Nameless Hall?”
“Yes. Since we’re all family now anyway, I thought it would be much more efficient to reform as one rather than doing it separately. Fortunately, the Nameless Hall Master had the same idea, so we merged the two forces into one. I’ll take the position of Gate Master and Un-gyeol will serve as Vice Gate Master.”
“Well done. Is that why you’re late?”
“Yes. Building the sect facilities also took longer than expected. I apologize.”
“Well, you had a valid reason, so it’s fine.”
“Thank you. I brought the thousand-year ginseng.”
“You can deliver it to him later.”
“Yes.”
“But what were you talking about?”
“Ah! He said he couldn’t conduct escort missions because he lacks escorts, so we agreed to provide escort services.”
“That’s good. I was actually going to contact you about that matter anyway. What did you decide about the payment?”
“Since it’s our first deal and to commemorate becoming neighbors, we agreed to only charge half.”
“Well done.”
“But is it alright to accept payment?”
“You should accept it. Otherwise, knowing Father’s personality, he would absolutely refuse to do business. Take it and use it to supplement your operations.”
“Thank you.”
“But only assign reliable people.”
“Yes! I’ll compose it with only our elite members.”
Jin Muryang smiled along with Jeok Wigang, who looked satisfied.
“Oh, Ye Yahyeon is here.”
“What?”
“Don’t be so surprised.”
“Where did you find That Guy?”
“He was in the Imperial Palace. He’s an Imperial Guard Commander.”
“That Guy is?”
“Yeah. He thought I’d never be able to find him if he was in the Imperial Palace. He probably never imagined I’d achieve success and fame.”
Who could have predicted that?
The Jeok Wigang they knew was someone who hated going to the Outside World more than anyone.
Ye Yahyeon didn’t make the wrong choice.
He was just unlucky.
“Stay for dinner. There are more people I want to introduce you to.”
“What? More people to introduce?”
“There’s someone who wants to meet you more than anyone.”
“Me?”
“Yes. Our Grandfather.”
“T-The Heavenly Martial Emperor is here?”
“Yeah.”
“Does Ye Yahyeon know about this?”
“He knows. He even had quite a fight with Grandfather.”
I stared blankly at Jeok Wigang at the mention of fighting with Jeok Mugun.
Then I came to my senses and asked about Ye Yahyeon’s safety.
“Hah… That Guy… he’s still alive, right?”
“Of course. They cleared up all their past bad feelings and became friends.”
“Became friends…”
I couldn’t believe it.
He was someone who had vowed to kill us with his own hands when they met again.
More importantly, the Heavenly Martial Emperor himself probably didn’t like us very much either.
The reason they became friends was probably because of Jeok Wigang’s existence, wasn’t it?
“But where did Father go?”
“Oh, he said a guest came and hurried out.”
“A guest?”
He tilted his head and then listened in some direction.
“Hmm. It seems like it’s a story related to you.”
“What? I haven’t done any significant activities yet.”
“It seems the other sects in Yullyang County are being wary of the Escort Gate.”
“That could be the case. Then they must have come to the Jin Mu Sect to keep us in check.”
“Hmm. I’ll have to hear the details directly. Let’s go together.”
“Me too?”
“Yeah. You’re the Gate Master of the Escort Gate. You should handle it directly.”
“Understood.”
