Legend of the Evil Martial God

 

Chapter 167

 

Jeok Wigang smiled at the heartfelt words of gratitude.

 

“Not at all. Thanks to the Sect Leader’s help, I was fortunately able to handle it without being too late. Thanks to that, the peace of the martial world has been preserved, so I should be the one thanking you.”

 

Unjeongsatae was amazed by Jeok Wigang’s character.

 

To think they had driven such a man into a corner, calling him a demonic enemy.

 

She felt so sorry and ashamed that she couldn’t lift her face.

 

Still, she had to apologize.

 

“About our children calling you a demonic enemy…”

 

“It’s fine. I hit them too, so let’s just pretend nothing happened.”

 

“Would you stop by Emei Sect? I’d like to offer you a cup of tea.”

 

“No thank you. If I go there, it’ll just cause another commotion.”

 

“Still, I can’t just send our benefactor away like this. I won’t stand for anyone treating you rudely. So please, at least have a cup of tea before you go. I’m just so grateful that I want to offer you something.”

 

Jeok Wigang scratched his chin at Unjeongsatae’s earnest request.

 

“Alright. Then I’ll impose on your hospitality.”

 

“Oh my! Impose? Please don’t say such things. Emei Sect will always welcome you.”

 

“Do you think the other disciples will feel the same way?”

 

“I will make sure they do.”

 

There was a reason why Unjeongsatae was forcibly bringing Jeok Wigang along.

 

She wanted to tell them and show them.

 

What he had done for Emei Sect.

 

And she hoped everyone would sincerely apologize to Jeok Wigang.

 

She hoped that the wounds Jeok Wigang had received would heal, even a little.

 

If there was any disciple who treated Jeok Wigang rudely, she would expel them from the sect.

 

***

 

Kwa-kwa-kwang-!

 

As they were descending the mountain, explosive sounds could be heard, making Unjeongsatae tense up again.

 

“It seems there’s still something more remaining.”

 

Jeok Wigang, who already knew what the explosive sound was, simply smiled.

 

As they descended while feeling tense, they could see the cause of the explosive sound in the distance.

 

Two people were moving around here and there, cutting down something.

 

Their expressions were full of joy, and at a glance, they clearly weren’t good people.

 

It seemed the spiritual energy of Mount Emei had truly been greatly damaged.

 

Even such ruffians had entered and were causing a ruckus.

 

What on earth were they cutting down like that?

 

Looking closely.

 

“Th-those are ji-jiangshi, aren’t they?”

 

There were still jiangshi remaining.

 

And there were quite a lot of them too.

 

Where did so many jiangshi come from?

 

But the two people were casually cutting down the jiangshi as if they were cutting through straw bundles.

 

“Kahahaha! I’ve already caught twenty! Get ready to call me Older Brother.”

 

“It’s not over yet! Haat! Raging Wind Wave Lightning!”

 

Crackle-.

 

Waves of lightning struck the jiangshi and turned them into charcoal.

 

“Kukukuku. I caught twenty-two.”

 

“Damn bastard! Who told you to use area attacks! If we’re doing that, I could catch all the jiangshi on this mountain in one shot!”

 

“There was no rule saying we had to cut them down one by one.”

 

“Isn’t that obvious?”

 

“Fine. Fine. Then from now on, let’s cut them down one by one.”

 

“Hmph! I’ll let it slide this once!”

 

“Kukuku. Thanks. Let’s start again!”

 

Their actions seemed like those of bad guys, but seeing how they dealt with the jiangshi, they didn’t seem that way.

 

What was even more surprising was how easily they were disposing of the jiangshi.

 

Every time they swung their swords, Un Jeong-sa trembled at the energy she felt.

 

Where did such monster-like masters appear from?

 

It was true that there were many hidden extraordinary people in the Martial World.

 

The problem was that their energy wasn’t particularly good energy.

 

After they finished cutting down all the jiangshi, what would come next?

 

It could be Emei Sect.

 

Fortunately, Jeok Wigang was here now, which was reassuring, but what if Jeok Wigang wasn’t here?

 

Her breath caught in her throat.

 

He realized just how lazily he had been living until now.

 

“Hey! Stop fooling around and finish this quickly!”

 

Unjeongsatae was startled by Jeok Wigang’s words.

 

They had tried to pass by quietly, but Jeok Wigang had provoked them.

 

“B-benefactor…”

 

Now those people and the benefactor would fight.

 

That’s what he thought.

 

“Yes! We’ll finish quickly!”

 

Those terrifying people showed obedient behavior and instantly cleared away the remaining jiangshi.

 

They had the power to clear them from the beginning, but had just been playing with the jiangshi.

 

Would people in the world believe this if told?

 

Super-strong warriors playing with jiangshi and someone they obey?

 

Unjeongsatae felt Jeok Wigang was even more amazing than before.

 

And he also realized anew how much mercy Jeok Wigang had shown to Emei Sect.

 

“Did you handle things well?”

 

“Yeah. I went through hardship while you guys were playing around?”

 

“We’re sorry. We finished all the other places and met this guy here, but this guy provoked us first…”

 

“No, I just… since we only needed to clean up here… I thought we’d enjoy it a little…”

 

“You handled the other places properly, right?”

 

“Yes!”

 

“We cleaned them very thoroughly.”

 

“Well done.”

 

The two people smiled happily at Jeok Wigang’s praise.

 

They were Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang.

 

“Where are you going now?”

 

“I was just going to go down, but the abbot said he’d serve tea. It seems we’ll have to stop by Emei Sect.”

 

Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang shook their heads.

 

“Tea? Not even alcohol? Ugh. We’ll just stay here.”

 

Looking at the two people shuddering, he chuckled and said.

 

“I figured as much. Just go back first and tell them to prepare for departure.”

 

“Understood.”

 

As soon as the words ended, the two people disappeared in an instant.

 

He couldn’t even sense their disappearance at all.

 

Unjeongsatae asked out of curiosity.

 

“How strong are those two people?”

 

“Hmm… Well? Both of them are at the Mythical Realm level, so they must be quite strong, right?”

 

“What? My-Mythical Realm level?”

 

Jeok Wigang’s appearance as he calmly nodded was wondrous.

 

The Man who handled two Mythical Realm martial artists like children.

 

It was fortunate.

 

That such a tremendous man was not an evil existence.

 

It was truly fortunate that he was a man who wished for peace in the Martial World.

 

***

 

When they returned to the main mountain, as expected, chaos had erupted.

 

The nuns who had fainted and regained consciousness were looking at Jeok Wigang as if he were their mortal enemy.

 

At this, Unjeongsatae let out a sharp rebuke.

 

“What are you doing right now! How dare you look at the Benefactor who saved Emei from darkness with such eyes! Withdraw them immediately!”

 

Everyone showed surprised expressions at Unjeongsatae’s sharp rebuke.

 

“What do you mean by that? He saved Emei?”

 

“He was our enemy. Didn’t you see? What he did to Emei.”

 

“That was because you attacked first. The Benefactor endured such rudeness silently and showed mercy to you all.”

 

“That’s nonsense! Sect Leader, you are now bewitched by that bastard…”

 

“Silence!”

 

Boom- Boom-.

 

Rumble rumble rumble-.

 

At the roar filled with Internal Power, countless Emei disciples covered their ears in agony.

 

It was a display showing how profound Unjeongsatae’s Internal Power was.

 

The Emei disciples admired Unjeongsatae’s tremendous Internal Energy even while suffering.

 

But they couldn’t understand.

 

Why would someone so strong defend that man?

 

Why exactly was that person a benefactor?

 

Unjeongsatae told them everything that had happened up until now.

 

The disciples of Emei who heard the story showed expressions of disbelief.

 

“You are all alive and well like this because our Benefactor showed mercy in his hands. If our Benefactor had truly harbored evil intentions, Emei would have been annihilated today.”

 

“To think he’s that strong. I can’t believe it.”

 

“You can’t believe it? He’s the one who suppressed all of you without killing a single person. No one in Emei could stop his footsteps. Do you still refuse to believe even after this?”

 

Now that they heard it, that was true.

 

They had been too excited at the time to properly assess the situation, but he had indeed entered Emei boldly and carried out what he intended to do without the slightest hesitation.

 

“What are you all doing! Now that you know the truth, go immediately and apologize to our Benefactor for your wrongs!”

 

At Unjeongsatae’s words, everyone hesitated and was about to move when one person stepped forward.

 

“I cannot do it! This is a forbidden area for men! Isn’t it true that The Man clearly did wrong first! I absolutely cannot apologize!”

 

“Is that so? You absolutely cannot apologize?”

 

“Yes!”

 

“Fine. I understand. From today, you are no longer a disciple of Emei. Pack your Luggage immediately and descend the Mountain.”

 

“What?”

 

“It’s an order! What are you all doing! Someone who is not even a disciple of Emei is wearing Emei’s Clothes. Strip them off immediately and throw her out below the mountain gate!”

 

“A-Abbot!”

 

The nun was flustered.

 

“Can you not hear my words!”

 

At that, the other nuns began to move.

 

She cried and wailed, saying she was wrong only then, but it was too late.

 

Unjeongsatae did not withdraw her command to the very end.

 

Making an example of one to warn a hundred.

 

“If there are still disciples who have no intention of apologizing, step forward.”

 

No one stepped forward.

 

“Then apologize to our Benefactor with all your heart.”

 

Hundreds of Emei Sect nuns bowed their waists in unison and apologized to Jeok Wigang.

 

The Emei Sect Elders had heard about this fact beforehand, so they followed the other disciples and apologized to Jeok Wigang without any complaints.

 

When the disciples of Emei properly apologized, only then did a smile form on Unjeongsatae’s lips.

 

Now it seemed she could put down some of the burden in her heart even when the Benefactor left.

 

The debt of gratitude she still had to repay was like a mountain, but she decided to gradually repay it step by step.

 

***

 

“What is this?”

 

Swords placed before Unjeongsatae and the elders of Emei Sect.

 

He had said he was going somewhere briefly, and now he had returned carrying these swords.

 

“I noticed your swords were worn, so this is a gift from me.”

 

“What? No, no! We already owe you a debt as high as a mountain, we cannot accept more favors!”

 

Unjeongsatae was startled and waved his hands frantically.

 

To this, Jeok Wigang smiled and said.

 

“I made them with special care so that evil energy cannot penetrate them. No malicious aura will be able to overcome the energy of these swords.”

 

From what he heard, these didn’t seem like ordinary swords.

 

“Please try touching one.”

 

At Jeok Wigang’s suggestion, Unjeongsatae hesitated before picking up a sword.

 

Chang-.

 

With a clear sound, the sword blade shone so brightly it was dazzling to the eyes.

 

Above all, the way it fit perfectly in his hand felt like it was part of his body.

 

Even just holding the sword, he felt power surging through his entire body.

 

An impulse to go out immediately and swing this sword wildly welled up, but he endured it with superhuman patience.

 

Then he realized.

 

Was he really offering to give away such a fine sword just like that?

 

Thinking it was absurd, he sheathed the sword again and returned it to Jeok Wigang.

 

Though his desire to possess it was earnest, as a Buddhist, he must not harbor such greed.

 

To cast off this desire, Unjeongsatae thought he would need to perform three thousand prostrations tonight.

 

Wait, he definitely said he made them, didn’t he?

 

No way.

 

Surely not.

 

He must have misheard.

 

Unjeongsatae asked.

 

“This… surely Benefactor didn’t make this yourself?”

 

“That’s correct. It’s a small hobby of mine.”

 

“What? A hobby? Are you saying you made this famous sword as a hobby?”

 

“It’s nothing remarkable.”

 

Nothing remarkable?

 

It was such an incredible sword that even he, who had lived his entire life without greed, felt desire for the first time.

 

What on earth couldn’t it do?
