Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 34

 

 

 

In an instant, he had obtained the Three Major Assassin Groups of Central Plains.

 

“Can’t you do anything other than assassination work?”

“That is… this is all I know how to do.”

“How about escort work? You seem like you’d be good at that too.”

“Escort work?”

“Yeah. Wealthy families use that kind of service a lot. Or maybe Escort Agencies and Trading Companies would send quite a few requests too?”

“I’ll do as Dae-hyeong wishes.”

“Change the name Ghost Kill Group too. If the name is Ghost Kill Group, who would entrust escort work to you? It sounds like they’re asking you to kill someone.”

“Understood.”

“And find out about the other guys too.”

“Pardon?”

“Why? Do you think you can handle me alone?”

 

Instantly, Jin Muryang shook his head frantically.

 

“If you can handle it alone, I’ll just leave you be.”

“N-no! I’ll do my utmost to find them!”

 

Jeok Wigang chuckled and patted Jin Muryang’s shoulder.

 

“When you find them, tell them. If they run away, they’ll get beaten twice as much.”

“Y-yes, understood.”

 

Jeok Wigang held out his hand.

 

“Pardon?”

“Don’t you have some kind of token? It’ll be troublesome if I go looking for them without a token or something.”

“Ah!”

 

Jin Muryang took out a palm-sized Red Bronze Mirror from his chest and held it out.

 

“This is the Ghost King Token. If you show this, they’ll guide you to me immediately.”

“Where’s the location?”

 

– It’s Gwiwanggok in Gansu.

 

After hearing the location through Sound Transmission, he chuckled and nodded.

 

“Got it. Go on.”

“Yes!”

 

Just as he was about to leave.

 

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

“You need to take that too.”

 

In the direction Jeok Wigang pointed, Sakhongui was still sprawled unconscious.

 

“Isn’t he dead?”

“I controlled my strength.”

“I’ll take him with me.”

“Ah! Right. Who was the one who commissioned us to kill?”

 

At the mention of the client, Jin Muryang’s expression twisted.

Because of that damn bastard, he had met Dae-hyeong.

If he had his way, he wanted to rush to Guyang Family Estate right now and annihilate them, but he held back.

 

“It’s the Chief Steward of Guyang Family. He told us to kill everyone here and rescue Guyang Hu.”

Guyang Hu flinched in surprise when his name came up and watched Jeok Wigang’s reaction.

Seeing that, Jin Muryang frowned.

So it’s that bastard.

The one who made me come to this place.

If he had his way, he wanted to rush out right now and smash his head, but he held back since he was in front of Dae-hyeong.

As soon as Guyang Hu saw Jin Muryang’s cold gaze, he turned his head away.

As soon as he heard who the client was, he spoke to Guyang Hu.

 

“What? Did you properly convey it to your house?”

“Th-that is…”

 

Jeok Wigang narrowed his eyes and asked.

 

“You’re hiding something, aren’t you? Speak.”

 

Guyang Hu squeezed his eyes shut and said.

 

“Th-that is, my Subordinates asked through Sound Transmission if they should come rescue me, so I just nodded. I-I never thought they would kill everyone and only rescue me.”

“Did you really not know?”

“Th-that is… knowing Father’s personality, I thought it was possible.”

 

Jeok Wigang spoke to Milyeong.

 

“It seems like this won’t end with just educating this guy. Bring me all information about Guyang Family.”

“Understood.”

 

Milyeong disappeared instantly after receiving Jeok Wigang’s order.

Watching this, Jin Muryang felt that Dae-hyeong had changed a lot from before.

If before he felt like a rough, unpolished raw gem, now he felt like a well-polished jewel?

He felt more difficult to deal with.

 

“Go on. I’ll visit soon, so make sure you change your business well by then.”

“Y-yes, understood.”

 

Damn it.

What am I going to explain to the other guys?

This is driving me crazy.

Maybe I’ll have to start over from the beginning.

But I have to do it.

If I don’t want to get beaten.

 

Heh-.

 

Jeok Wigang laughed.

Just looking at Jin Muryang’s expression, he could guess what he was thinking right now.

Even acting like that, he wasn’t annoying.

Was it because he had grown fond of him?

After being beaten and suffering like that, he should have given up, but he doesn’t know how to quit.

That’s what makes it interesting.

I want to see the other guys quickly too.

Jin Muryang, who was about to leave, stopped as if something had occurred to him.

 

“Ah! Dae-hyeong. I don’t know where the other guys are, but I know what they’re doing.”

“How do you know that?”

“Before we parted ways, we talked about what each of us would do.”

“Really?”

“Kang Mujin said he would open a martial arts school.”

“That suits him.”

 

Now that he thought about it, it suited him very well.

There was no sense of incongruity at all.

 

“Ye Yahyeon said he would open an inn.”

 

That also suited him well.

Jin Muryang suited being an assassin.

Then the remaining one.

What would Baek Ryeongso do?

Judging by his appearance, he seemed like he’d be doing rough work.

Like butchering.

Or collecting unpaid debts.

 

“Baek Ryeongso said he would open a clothing store.”

“Huh?”

 

Jeok Wigang momentarily wondered if he had heard wrong and rubbed his ears.

 

“What did you say? What is he doing?”

“A clothing store.”

“A butcher shop named clothing store?”

“No. A clothing store that makes and sells clothes.”

“Who makes the clothes?”

 

Jin Muryang nodded his head.

 

“No way? You can’t be serious.”

“That’s right.”

“Come on. That’s ridiculous.”

“Think about it. Our clothes and Dae-hyeong’s clothes, he mended and made all of them.”

 

Now that he thought about it, that was true.

Thinking of him making clothes with those pot lid-like hands gave him goosebumps.

 

“Well… Baek Ryeongso should be easy to find. How many people in the Central Plains would be making clothes with that kind of appearance.”

“You shouldn’t be so sure. I’m not the only one who learned the Thousand Faces Bone Shrinking Art.”

“What? You all learned it?”

“Yes.”

“You were quite thorough, weren’t you?”

 

Jin Muryang bowed his head.

Taecheon and Chu Sohwan, who had been listening from behind, were sensing something strange about the conversation.

Listening to their conversation, it felt like there were four people who had all run away to escape Jeok Wigang.

Even using martial arts called the Thousand Faces Bone Shrinking Art to avoid being caught.

Did they know in advance that their lord would be reincarnated?

No matter how much he thought about it, it didn’t seem like reincarnation.

It definitely wasn’t the Rejuvenation Technique either.

Because there was no internal energy at all.

It was confusing.

 

“Alright, I understand. I’ll look for them too.”

“Yes. I’ll also do my best to find them.”

 

I can’t be the only one suffering.

 

“Then I’ll be going.”

“Yeah. See you again.”

“Yes! Dae-hyeong.”

 

After finishing his greeting, he took the still-dazed Soul-Cutting Ghost and disappeared.

Jeok Wigang stroked his chin.

 

“What should I do with the Guyang Family…”

 

Jeok Wigang asked while looking at Guyang Hu.

Guyang Hu trembled and bowed his head at Jeok Wigang’s gaze.

Hadn’t he just seen it?

The leader of the most notorious assassin organization in the Central Plains had become his subordinate and left.

 

 

 

“They refused the commission?”

“That’s right.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. They returned the full commission fee along with the penalty.”

“These crazy assassin bastards! If they took the money, they should do the job! How hard can it be to just cut down those few guys!”

“It seems there are experts mixed in, making it difficult.”

“Damn it! Then put in a request somewhere else!”

“I’ve already put one in, but I don’t know if they’ll accept the commission.”

“Still put it in! Raise the amount too! Tell them to massacre them all by any means necessary! And emphasize that Hu must absolutely not be harmed.”

“Understood.”

“What happened with the Ganghui Trading Company matter?”

“They won’t listen to reason. I tried both persuasion and threats, but they refuse to give up the salt monopoly rights.”

“Then you should have gone and caused a ruckus!”

“The Ganghui Trading Company has better public sentiment than our family. I don’t think there’s any need to deliberately provoke the already unfavorable public opinion.”

“Then suggest a method! A method! You incompetent fool!”

 

He spoke to the fuming Guyang Family Head.

 

“Th-then how about we put in an additional request to the assassin organization to eliminate the Ganghui Trading Company Leader and his family? If only those guys disappear, we can sufficiently persuade the rest.”

“Oh! That’s a good idea. See? You can do it when you think.”

“Thank you.”

“Execute it immediately.”

“Understood.”

 

 

 

Ganghui Trading Company Leader Yu Munchang and Jeok Wigang were having a meal together.

 

“Hehehe. So, are the preparations for the provincial examination going well?”

“Thanks to your consideration, I’m doing well. Thank you.”

“What thanks between us? Your success is my joy.”

“If I pass the provincial examination, it will all be thanks to Uncle.”

“Hahaha! How is that my doing? It’s because you’re outstanding. Isn’t that right?”

“You flatter me, Uncle.”

“You’ll do well.”

 

Yu Munchang’s touch as he patted his shoulder was filled with affection.

That feeling made Jeok Wigang smile.

After peacefully eating dinner like that, the two moved to a pavilion overlooking the pond.

They were drinking tea and having various conversations.

Suddenly, something quickly shot out from the pond and flew toward Yu Munchang and Jeok Wigang.

Jeok Wigang’s hand moved like lightning to catch whatever was flying toward Yu Munchang and himself.

The speed was so fast that Yu Munchang didn’t even know Jeok Wigang had moved.

However, the tremendous speed created wind.

 

Whoosh-.

 

“A sudden gust of wind is blowing.”

“Indeed. I thought there wasn’t a breath of wind, but it’s quite fickle.”

“Still, it wasn’t bad. I was feeling a bit hot anyway. Thanks to that, it was refreshing.”

 

While conversing with Yu Munchang, he quickly opened his hand under the table.

It was a thin steel needle.

An assassin?

He immediately threw the steel needle back in the direction it came from.

 

Phing-.

 

Oh no.

If they die, the corpse will float up.

He hadn’t thought of that.

That’s when it happened.

 

“I’ll go relieve myself for a moment.”

 

Seeing Yu Munchang get up from his seat at the perfect timing, he breathed a sigh of relief.

 

“Yes. Please go ahead, Uncle.”

 

As Yu Munchang happened to get up and head to the bathroom, Jeok Wigang licked the liquid on his palm from when he caught the steel needle with his tongue.

 

‘Poison.’

 

And a deadly poison at that.

Someone is targeting Yu Munchang.

Uncle has never held grudges against anyone though?

Could it be that the Guyang Family bastards are trying to harm people related to me?

 

“Chu Sohwan.”

 

Chu Sohwan appeared before Jeok Wigang and prostrated himself.

 

“Yes!”

“Go protect Uncle. If there are any bastards trying to harm Uncle, kill them all.”

“Yes!”

 

As soon as the order was given, Chu Sohwan’s figure disappeared in an instant.

A moment later.

Two corpses floating up on the water.

 

“Milyeong. Clean it up.”

 

Milyeong appeared again, grabbed the corpses, and jumped over the wall.

Jeok Wigang’s expression had turned cold.

Sensing the sudden killing intent, Taecheon rushed over urgently.

Taecheon saw Jeok Wigang’s completely hardened expression.

 

“What’s wrong, Young Master?”

“Assassins. They’re targeting Uncle.”

 

At the mention of assassins, he raised his battle aura and instantly switched to a defensive stance.

 

“If it’s assassins, could they be sent by the Guyang Family?”

“Most likely.”

“They’re persistent bastards.”

“Since the Ghost Kill Group failed, it seems they put in a request elsewhere.”

“Are there more assassins?”

 

Jeok Wigang concentrated and used his scent detection.

Then he opened his eyes and spoke.

 

“I can smell the distinctive scent of assassins. There seem to be at least thirty of them.”

“They’re really determined.”

“Fortunately, aside from the two in the pond, it seems they haven’t entered the trading company yet. They’re surrounding the perimeter of the trading company from outside.”

“I’ll take the north side.”

 

Just then, Milyeong returned.

 

“Go with Milyeong.”

“Understood.”

 

After confirming the two were moving toward the north, he immediately launched his body outside.
