Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 175
is the most likely.
The Chief Steward looked at Cheonhyanghwa.
She was completely smitten.
There was a limit to stopping Cheonhyanghwa.
In that case.
‘I have no choice but to find out that guy’s true identity.’
First, I need to make him stay here as long as possible.
“Miss. If that bast… gentleman dislikes you being at Chwihwaru, I’ll arrange a different residence for you instead of this place.”
“A residence? I don’t want that.”
“Why not? Since he said he dislikes you being here, wouldn’t it be fine to move to another residence? Please consider our situation too, Miss. If you leave like this, we’ll be in serious trouble.”
“Sigh… Alright. Now that I think about it, I was only thinking of myself.”
“Haha! You’ve made a wise decision. That bast…, that gentleman… will understand when he hears about our situation.”
He almost let a curse slip out, but held it back.
“Alright. Then I’ll go tell my lord and come back.”
My lord.
Had they already become close enough to use such an intimate term?
At least he had bought some time.
The Chief Steward vowed that during this time, he would definitely uncover that guy’s identity, expose his dirty plans, and save the Miss.

“Ooh.”
Jeok Wigang was admiring the clothes that Baek Ryeongso had made.
“Amazing. How can you make something so intricate?”
Excited by Jeok Wigang’s praise, Baek Ryeongso laughed heartily and said.
“Hahaha! Dae-hyeong. This is nothing at all. If I put my mind to it, I can make a hundred sets like this in a day.”
“Can you make such wonderful forms even with cotton cloth?”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Baek Ryeongso patted his chest confidently and spoke with assurance.
“Of course! If it goes through my hands, even a straw mat becomes art”
“Really?”
“What kind of clothes do you want? Just tell me!”
Baek Ryeongso was in a good mood.
Because he had finally connected with the woman he had longed for so much.
It was all because Jeok Wigang had appeared.
Before, he had hated and disliked Jeok Wigang so much, but not anymore.
Jeok Wigang was his benefactor.
Now he didn’t even think about running away, and he wasn’t afraid of Jeok Wigang like in the past.
“Just ordinary clothes that common people can easily wear. I want to make and sell cheap but pretty-looking clothes.”
“If that’s what you want, you don’t need to worry. I can mass-produce them.”
“How?”
“Well. This is top secret… but since you’re Dae-hyeong, I’ll show you specially.”
“What about us?”
At Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang’s words, Baek Ryeongso grinned and nodded his head.
“Of course you can. Follow me.”
***
The place they followed Baek Ryeongso into was underground.
Unknown devices were spread throughout the underground area, with threads connected to each device.
“What is this?”
“It’s the Heavenly Net Loom.”
“Heavenly Net Loom?”
“It’s named that because it can weave cloth as vast as the sky.”
“Amazing.”
“Hahaha! This is my life’s greatest masterpiece!”
“How does it operate?”
“For now, only I can operate it. I calculate the form of the clothes I want to make here, put it into the formation, and inject internal energy.”
The excited Baek Ryeongso injected energy into the loom.
Clatter-.
The Cheonra Weaving Machine began to tremble.
Clatter- Clatter-.
The wheels turned, and the threads spread through the air moved as if alive, being sucked into the Cheonra Weaving Machine.
At first, gently and slowly.
Then gradually faster as they were drawn into the Cheonra Weaving Machine.
The threads crossed, twisted, and unraveled as they began to take the form of clothing.
Click- Click-.
Finally, a complete piece of clothing was gently spread out on top of the Cheonra Weaving Machine.
Clatter-.
When the finished clothing emerged, Baek Ryeongso took it out and handed it to Jeok Wigang.
It was soft.
“Amazing. What’s the principle behind it?”
“What’s at the center here is the core of this Cheonra Weaving Machine. It receives True Energy from there and circulates it throughout the entire machine like a heart circulating blood. If you look here, there’s a disc engraved with the Eight Trigrams that controls the tension and speed.”
Baek Ryeongso explained enthusiastically while Jeok Wigang listened intently.
Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang yawned and weren’t even listening.
Baek Ryeongso explained excitedly.
“This Cheonra Weaving Machine, created by combining True Energy, Formation Methods, and mechanisms, is my masterpiece.”
“Impressive.”
“Hahaha! Right?”
Baek Ryeongso laughed as if he was truly pleased.
Seeing this, Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang looked at him with incredulous expressions.
Even when that guy mastered his martial arts, he wasn’t this happy.
To think he’d be this delighted just from making a machine that creates clothes.
He must have been destined to make clothes from birth.
“How much would it cost to make with cotton fabric?”
“At most, it would cost one-tenth of what’s sold in the market.”
“That cheaply?”
“Yes.”
“If we just sell the clothes you make, our trading company would dominate the entire market, wouldn’t it?”
“Hahaha! Of course! That’s why all the trading companies wanting to enter the Central Plains market are desperately trying to recruit me!”
“I can see why. Well then, let’s make a contract.”
“Are you really going to contract with me?”
“Huh? Why? Don’t want to do it?”
“No. It’s not that, but a contract between Dae-hyeong and me… Never mind.”
“Never mind? You’re just going to do it?”
“Yes. Since you mentioned a contract… it somehow makes me feel more disappointed.”
“Disappointed?”
“Yes. It feels like there’s distance between me and Dae-hyeong… like we’ve become strangers.”
“And that guy ran away to avoid me?”
“That’s how it was back then, but it’s strange… Now that we’ve met again, this feels better.”
Jeok Wigang chuckled at Baek Ryeongso’s words.
“Flattering me to avoid getting hit…”
“Flattery? This is my sincere feeling…”
“I know. Thank you.”
At Jeok Wigang’s heartfelt words, all the emotions Baek Ryeongso had been harboring toward Jeok Wigang melted away like snow.
He rubbed his nose and spoke.
“Dae-hyeong has really changed a lot. Even saying thank you and all.”
“Huh? Didn’t I say it before?”
When he looked at Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang and asked, both shook their heads.
“Really?”
“Yes. Instead of saying thank you, you’d throw a fist first.”
“Did I? Back then you guys rebelled a lot.”
Baek Ryeongso smiled quietly and said.
“Perhaps… back then was a time when there was more evil. But living and getting along with the world seems to have made those things disappear.”
Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang also nodded.
They had the same thought.
Jeok Wigang said.
“I’m sorry too. Back then… it was a time when I had a lot of anger toward the world. From now on… let’s get along well.”
Baek Ryeongso smiled silently.
Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang also quietly bowed their heads.
“Now the only one left is Mujin?”
“That guy will really be hard to find.”
“That’s right. He said he’d set up a Martial Arts School and teach kids.”
Jeok Wigang chuckled softly.
“Do you think the Martial Arts School that guy sets up will really be ordinary? As they say, a talented person stands out like an awl in a bag. He’s definitely gaining fame somewhere.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Ye Yahyeon and Jin Muryang looked at Baek Ryeongso and nodded.
“You’re right about that. This guy tried his best to hide himself too, but he still ended up gaining fame like this.”
Baek Ryeongso chuckled softly.
“It seems like it’s fate that we can’t be separated from Dae-hyeong. That guy Mujin should hurry up and meet Dae-hyeong so he can live a comfortable life.”
“Hey, when you say it like that, it sounds like he’ll die if he meets me.”
“Does it? Hahaha!”
While they were laughing and chatting like this.
Sounds of movement came from inside the room.
“Ah!”
He had forgotten about them.
“Those guys seem to have woken up.”
“I’m curious who ordered them. Let’s hear what they have to say.”
“What if they won’t talk?”
“I’m here, aren’t I.”
When Jin Muryang grinned wickedly, Baek Ryeongso chuckled and said.
“I had forgotten about that. How reassuring.”
“Let’s go.”
***
“Ugh! My head.”
The Warriors who regained consciousness clutched their heads in pain and got up from where they lay.
“Where is this place?”
They looked around warily at the unfamiliar location.
“That fabric shop… did we get beaten by them?”
“I don’t know. I don’t even remember what happened.”
“I remember going to the fabric shop, but after that, I have no memory.”
“For now, let’s get out of here and think about it.”
“Right.”
The warriors got up from their seats and tried to leave the place.
Creak-.
The door opened and Baek Ryeongso and Jin Muryang entered.
Jeok Wigang and Ye Yahyeon followed behind them.
Jeok Wigang and Ye Yahyeon sat on chairs to one side and watched.
Wondering what this situation was about, the warriors looked around and spotted Baek Ryeongso, then jumped up from their seats and glared at him with expressions full of wariness.
“This is ridiculous. Are you in any position to give me such looks? You should be bowing your heads in apology, and even that wouldn’t be enough.”
The massive aura emanating from Baek Ryeongso’s body filled the warriors with despair.
It was certain.
The one who had suppressed them before they could even respond was the fabric shop owner.
To think they had attacked such an incredible master.
It was truly like day-old puppies charging at a tiger without knowing how fearsome it was.
“W-we were wrong.”
“W-we just came to buy clothes.”
As soon as the words about coming to buy clothes ended, they felt cold metal against their necks.
Looking down slightly, they saw a wickedly sharp dagger pointed at their throats.
“H-hiiik!”
When on earth?
“Lying won’t be good for your health. Who sent you?”
“Th-that is…”
“I have one amazing specialty. Do you know what it is?”
They didn’t particularly want to know.
“Torture. You’ve heard of Bone Breaking Muscle Tearing, right?”
The warrior nodded his head.
“Have you ever experienced that?”
He shook his head vigorously.
“Then would you like to experience that first?”
The speed of his head shaking doubled.
“Come on. Let’s just have a little taste. I think it’ll make our conversation go smoother.”
“N-no! Please, ask us anything!”
“That’s right! We don’t have loyalty, keeping secrets, or any of that nonsense!”
“Really?”
“Yes! We’re from the Demonic Faction! You know the Demonic Faction, right? We don’t have loyalty or anything like that!”
“Well, this is disappointing. No, answering so easily makes me unable to trust you.”
“I-it’s true! Why don’t you ask us first, and if you don’t like our answers, then you can give us a little taste?”
“Should I?”
“Yes!”
While answering, he nodded his head so hard it looked like it might break.
“Good. Hey, ask them. They say they’ll answer.”
Baek Ryeongso chuckled and bent down to match eye level with the kneeling warriors.
“Who ordered you?”
“The magistrate of Baekri County!”
“Why did that guy do it?”
“The magistrate’s son was humiliated by the fabric shop owner and requested us to retaliate!”
“Ah! That incompetent fool?”
“We don’t know if he’s incompetent or not!”
Baek Ryeongso nodded.
“Seems like they answered correctly. If it’s that incompetent fool, he’d definitely do something like this and more.”
“Really? Then should we just let the kids go?”
“Should we?”
“Aren’t you curious about anything else? Like their family situations.”
“Why would I be curious about that?”
“What if we just let them go and these guys come back in a group seeking revenge?”
“Why? Are you scared?”
“As if I’d be scared.”
“If they come back seeking revenge, wouldn’t you guys actually prefer that?”
“That’s true.”
Baek Ryeongso asked the warriors.
“Where are you from?”
At Baek Ryeongso’s question, Jin Muryang could be seen watching from behind with an expectant expression.
“Blood Thunder Gate!”
“Ah, that sect on Gaemun Mountain?”
“That’s right!”
At Baek Ryeongso’s words, Jin Muryang asked.
“Do you know that sect?”
“People from there have come a few times asking me to make clothes.”
“Is it a famous place?”
“Well, it’s a place that wields some power around here.”
Jin Muryang grumbled with a disappointed expression.
“Damn it! Why do you only tell the truth? I was hoping to hear some bone-breaking sounds today.”
