Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 26
“Why keep such a bastard alive? Just kill him.”
“Father said that if possible, keeping someone alive and making them into a proper person is what a true hero does.”
“So?”
“I should follow Father’s words.”
“What about my words, being that father’s father? Will you follow my words too?”
“Grandfather would tell me to kill him anyway.”
“Right? Why leave a seed of evil? A seed of evil is forever a seed of evil. The nature doesn’t change.”
“That guy isn’t as bad as you think. If he were truly evil, I would have blown him away the moment I saw him.”
“How would you know that? It’s not like you’ve experienced dealing with him.”
“I can see it. How evil a person is.”
“What? How can you see such a thing?”
“I can see it. That guy can be sufficiently reformed. If he’s reformed and becomes a disciple of Jin Mu Sect, he’ll be a great asset in the future.”
“Won’t you give him to this old man as a gift? Then I’ll give up on that guy.”
“You should speak properly. It’s not giving up, it’s that you can’t touch him at all.”
“That’s true, but I won’t bother you anymore asking for that guy. Otherwise, you’ll keep bothering me at all hours, won’t you?”
The world’s Heavenly Martial Emperor was throwing a tantrum.
“No way. I’m going to make him into a warrior of Jin Mu Sect.”
“Then let’s have that guy choose. How about it?”
At Jeok Mugun’s earnest gaze, Jeok Wigang chuckled.
Since Grandfather was saying this much, Jeok Wigang couldn’t keep refusing.
“Sigh. I lose. Do as you wish.”
Telling him to decide who would take him?
It was absurd.
“What are you doing? Hurry up and choose?”
“Huh? Well… I need to know who you are to make a choice.”
“Didn’t I introduce myself?”
“No.”
“I am Heavenly Martial Emperor Jeok Mugun.”
“What?”
“This bastard? Is this young fool deaf? I said I’m Heavenly Martial Emperor Jeok Mugun. Making me say it twice?”
“H-Heavenly Martial Emperor? That, that Heavenly Martial Emperor of Heavenly Martial City? The world’s greatest Heavenly Martial Emperor?”
“That’s right. I am indeed the world’s greatest… was.”
He was about to say cheerfully that he was the world’s greatest, but changed his words while glancing at Jeok Wigang.
“Grandfather is still the world’s greatest.”
“Enough! You brat. When I can’t even beat you, what face do I have to go around saying such things?”
Truly a monster.
To think even the Heavenly Martial Emperor couldn’t win.
When they were talking while reading each other’s mood, he roughly guessed that the elder couldn’t beat that monster either, but who would have thought that elder reading the mood was the Heavenly Martial Emperor.
“I’m just going to live quietly and leisurely, I tell you.”
“Didn’t you say you’d make Jin Mu Sect the world’s greatest sect?”
“Younger Brother should do that. I’m only thinking of supporting from behind.”
“Does that work as you wish? Crisis can come at any time.”
“If there are forces that threaten Jin Mu Sect, I’ll erase them. Then there won’t be any crisis, right?”
He spoke with a grin, but it sent chills down one’s spine.
“I-Is that so? Then there shouldn’t be any problems.”
Jeok Mugun was already starting to feel sorry for the forces that would oppose Jin Mu Sect in the future.
Would they know that the moment they touched Jin Mu Sect, a natural disaster would befall them?
Well, their circumstances are their circumstances.
Jeok Mugun smiled and spoke to the Blood Mist Death God.
“If you follow me, I’ll make sure you get a position in Heavenly Martial City. How about it?”
“In Heavenly Martial City?”
“Yes. Doesn’t that tempt you? If you want, I’ll give you spirit medicine too.”
The Blood Mist Death God glanced at Jeok Wigang.
Jeok Wigang shrugged his shoulders and said.
“I have nothing to give. Choose wisely for yourself.”
Heavenly Martial City, huh.
Or staying by the side of the strongest monster and watching his exploits.
After thinking briefly, he prostrated before Jeok Wigang.
“I will serve you as my lord.”
Jeok Wigang smiled victoriously.
“He chooses me.”
“Hmph.”
Jeok Mugun looked at the Blood Mist Death God with a regretful expression.
But soon his expression relaxed.
After all, hadn’t he become a subordinate of his own bloodline?
That was enough.
Now his curiosity turned to the book that Jeok Wigang had brought.
He was curious about what was written in it.
“May I read it?”
“Yes.”
Jeok Mugun flipped through several books, then spoke in an incomprehensible voice.
“Really? It’s just full of curses.”
“Right?”
“What kind of guys are they? Are they perverts?”
“I wonder.”
“No. Making us let our guard down like this might be their purpose. There must be some secret hidden.”
“For that, it’s too scribbled. Don’t you feel anger in the handwriting?”
“That’s true… So it’s really just curses written down?”
“Yes.”
“If this is real, what kind of being is this Dae-hyeong written here that the Four Heavenly Demon Gods fear him so much? To write curses with this level of resentment means he’s strong enough that they can’t even openly rebel in front of him.”
Feeling awkward, Jeok Wigang turned his gaze elsewhere and said.
“I suppose so.”
“Come to think of it, this book is an important clue.”
“What?”
“Doesn’t this mean there’s an even more evil bastard who makes the Four Heavenly Demon Gods tremble? There was a reason the Four Heavenly Demon Gods disappeared. They’re planning to return together with this Dae-hyeong bastard.”
“I-Is that so?”
“That’s right. They’ll probably return stronger. I need to prepare countermeasures immediately when I get back.”
Jeok Mugun had a serious expression.
Jeok Wigang felt unnecessarily sorry.
“You should prepare too. No matter how strong you are, you can’t protect everyone. Prepare to protect your family just in case.”
“Yes. Don’t worry.”
Jeok Mugun took out a Night Bright Crystal engraved with the character for Heaven from his bosom and handed it to Jeok Wigang.
“What is this?”
“It’s the Cheonmu Castle Lord’s divine token.”
“Why are you giving this to me?”
“You brat. Don’t you ever plan to visit your grandfather’s house? When you come and show this, they’ll guide you to me.”
“I understand. Are you leaving now?”
“Yes. May I take one of these books with me?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll send a separate letter to your father.”
“Yes. Please do that.”
“You must come visit. You must.”
“Yes. I’ll visit once after finishing the provincial examination.”
Jeok Mugun smiled broadly at Jeok Wigang’s promise.
“Good. I’ll be waiting.”
“Are you leaving now?”
“I need to go and prepare.”
“Just let me know when those bastards appear. I’ll go and deal with them.”
Jeok Mugun chuckled and said.
“You brat, I’m the Heavenly Martial Emperor. I can handle that much. If it gets really difficult, I’ll ask for help then.”
“Yes. Grandfather.”
“Good. It was nice meeting you.”
“Me too.”
“When you visit, this grandfather will treat you to lots of delicious food.”
“I’ll definitely have to go.”
“Do you drink alcohol?”
“Not yet.”
“Then this grandfather will teach you the Way of Alcohol too.”
“That sounds good.”
“Then see you again.”
“Yes.”
After finishing his farewell, he spoke to Taecheon and the Blood Mist Death God.
“Take good care of my grandson.”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
Leaving those words, he disappeared in an instant.
After looking at the spot where Jeok Mugun had been for a moment, he chuckled and said to his companions.
“Let’s go too.”
“Yes!”
Changsha, the capital of Honam Province.
Countless people were busily moving through the streets, each attending to their own business.
A group leisurely entering on an ox cart.
It was Jeok Wigang’s group.
About two weeks remained until the provincial examination.
They planned to stay here during that time and enjoy the big city.
They moved to their accommodation while sightseeing the streets lined with tall halls.
Originally they planned to stay at an inn, but since father had a sworn brother in Changsha, they decided to stay there temporarily.
Actually, it was father’s intention.
Partly to check if his son was doing well in Changsha, and partly because he could feel at ease if he stayed at his sworn brother’s house, so he deliberately made the request.
Ganghui Trading Company.
That was the name of the place where they would stay for a while.
In Changsha, it was a trading company with considerable reputation and fame for helping those in need, praised by the people.
“Young Master, it seems we’ve arrived.”
“Really?”
Jeok Wigang got up from the cart and looked toward the Ganghui Trading Company.
“Father really. What was he so worried about that he even made this request.”
“All parents’ hearts are the same, aren’t they? Besides, the Gate Master doesn’t know how strong you are, Young Master, so he must be even more worried.”
“Is that so? Grandfather found out, so should I just reveal my identity to father too?”
“Then his worries would be greatly reduced, wouldn’t they?”
“Hmm. When I return this time, I should show father my strength. That way he’ll worry less.”
Jeok Wigang shook his head from side to side as he got down from the cart and walked toward the main gate of Ganghui Trading Company.
Taecheon and the Blood Mist Death God followed behind him.
“How may I help you?”
At the warrior guarding the gate’s question, Jeok Wigang gave a cupped fist salute and spoke.
“I am Jeok Wigang from Jin Mu Sect.”
“Ah! I heard about you. The Trading Company Leader has been waiting, saying you would probably arrive around today. Please follow me.”
“Thank you.”
Following the warrior inside, they came upon an elegant garden.
In the center of the garden, at a pavilion, a middle-aged man with a magnificently grown beard was drinking tea.
“Gate Master. A guest has arrived from Jin Mu Sect.”
At the warrior’s report, the middle-aged man put down his tea and sprang up from his seat.
Jeok Wigang stepped forward and greeted him with a cupped fist salute.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you. I am Jeok Wigang, the eldest son of Jin Mu Sect.”
“Hahaha! I’ve been waiting. Come, come. I am Yu Munchang, the Trading Company Leader of Ganghui Trading Company.”
“Thank you for welcoming me so warmly.”
“What are you saying? Your father and I are sworn brothers. If you’re Jeok Rihyeon’s son, you’re like my own son.”
At Yu Munchang’s words, Jeok Wigang smiled and spoke boldly.
“As I understand it, you’re older than Father, so I’ll call you Uncle. Please also think of me as your son and treat me comfortably.”
“Hahaha! Yes! I shall do that. You must have had a hard time traveling such a long way? Come, come, I’ll show you to a place to rest first, so rest and let’s meet for dinner.”
“Thank you for your consideration, Uncle.”
“What are you saying? It’s only natural. I deliberately prepared a quiet separate building, so it should be good for preparing for the civil service examination too.”
“I will definitely repay this kindness later.”
“What hurtful words you speak! Never say such hurtful things again from now on.”
“Yes, Uncle.”
“Hehehe. That’s right. You there.”
“Yes!”
“This is an honored guest. You must treat him well as if he were our own family.”
“Understood, Gate Master.”
“Guide him to the separate building and provide him with every convenience.”
“Yes!”
“Now, just follow those children.”
“Yes. Then I’ll see you at dinner.”
“Hehehe. Yes. See you then.”
Upon arriving at the accommodation, Jeok Wigang was amazed.
They had truly given him a quiet and secluded place as accommodation.
It had even been newly renovated, with everything in near-new condition, and the room was so clean that not a speck of dust could be seen.
A desk, brush, inkstone, and other items had been prepared in the finest quality so he could concentrate on his studies.
“This is really too much.”
Jeok Wigang smiled.
“He’s truly a good person.”
Thanks to Father, he had formed a good connection.
He missed Father.
He unpacked his luggage and lay down on the bed, and it was so comfortable.
So much so that he wanted to take it home with him.
Taecheon and the Blood Mist Death God also unpacked their luggage in the adjacent room and moved to Jeok Wigang’s room.
“By the way, what’s your name? Now that I think about it, we haven’t even introduced ourselves properly, have we?”
“My humble name is Chu Sowan, my lord.”
“My name is Jeok Wigang. Let’s get along well from now on.”
“Loyalty!”
“Wait a moment. How should we establish the hierarchy?”
