Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 6

 

 

 

This was beyond his realm of understanding.

 

“Eat it.”

 

If he didn’t eat it, that fist would come flying again, wouldn’t it?

 

“Ah, I understand.”

 

Milyeong quickly took it and ate it.

 

“If you really want to run away, just kill yourself. I can’t chase you all the way to the Underworld.”

 

How could he say such a thing now…

 

“Here, use this if you need it when you go to the Underworld.”

 

He returned the Poison Blade as well.

Out of resentment and injustice, he would now survive out of sheer stubbornness.

When he made a determined expression, Jeok Wigang grinned.

 

“Yes. Survive like that. Then good days will come.”

 

Really?

Would they come?

Only a bleak future seemed to be drawn out.

 

“Um… then what should I do about the report? They’ll be suspicious if I don’t report.”

“You should do it. Just report it as it is.”

“What?”

“Report everything as it happened, without hiding anything.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. If they get too annoying later, I’ll just go there and turn everything upside down.”

 

Milyeong thought.

With Hao Gate’s full power, couldn’t they capture that monster?

Milyeong’s pupils moved constantly as he observed Jeok Wigang.

Then Jeok Wigang grinned and said.

 

“Why? Are you curious? Whether Hao Gate can capture me or not?”

“N-no, I’m not.”

“Don’t lie. I can see it all in your eyes.”

 

He was quick-witted too.

He was truly a monster with no weaknesses.

 

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I-I have something I’m curious about.”

“What is it?”

“You said you’re eight years old now… what exactly is your level of Martial Arts?”

“Martial Arts level? You’re curious about that?”

“Yes.”

“Second-rate? No, wait. Since I don’t have Internal Energy, am I third-rate?”

“What?”

“I don’t have Internal Energy.”

 

What kind of nonsense was this now?

 

“You don’t have Internal Energy? Then what did I see?”

“That? I just threw a punch.”

“Just throwing a punch has that kind of power?”

“That was me holding back too. If I threw it seriously, it would be a disaster.”

 

Seeing Jeok Wigang speak with a grin, Milyeong was confused whether he was being serious or joking.

 

“I don’t have a dantian. So I can’t gather Internal Energy.”

“What?”

 

Where in the world was there a human without a dantian?

 

“I really don’t have one. So it’s disappointing. I wanted to try using Internal Energy to perform Martial Arts too.”

 

He really had no dantian or Internal Energy, yet possessed such power?

 

“Don’t believe me? Want to check?”

 

Jeok Wigang boldly thrust out his lower abdomen.

That was where the vital points were gathered.

Milyeong understood well why he was thrusting it out so boldly.

 

‘That skin would never be pierced, would it?’

 

Seeing him be so bold, it seemed he really didn’t have a dantian.

 

“N-no. I believe you.”

 

Jeok Wigang grinned.

That smile was somehow frightening.

There was a reason heaven didn’t give him a dantian.

If he had Internal Energy on top of that insane strength?

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

Wouldn’t he just be a walking natural disaster?

Ah, wasn’t he already a natural disaster even now?

Jeok Wigang stretched and walked away while grumbling.

 

“Ah, I need to grow up quickly. Moving around secretly like this is annoying too.”

 

Milyeong thought to himself.

He’s already a monster now, so just how incredible of a monster will he become when he grows up?

One thing was certain.

From now on, the Murim would revolve around that monster.

And many martial artists would despair.

Seeing someone so strong without any internal energy, all their bone-grinding efforts in cultivation would feel meaningless.

Thinking about it made him curious.

The path that monster would walk.

 

“Ah, do you know which way leads to Gwi Pung Gate?”

“Huh? Yes. I know the way.”

“Guide me. I’ve wasted too much time because of you.”

“Ah, understood. Please follow me.”

 

Milyeong hastily deployed his Light Body Technique.

But he couldn’t get a sense of how fast he should go.

 

“Run at full speed.”

“Yes!”

 

Come to think of it, wasn’t this the monster who had instantly caught up to him when he was fleeing at full speed?

Milyeong pushed aside his idle thoughts and launched his body toward Gwi Pung Gate with all his might.

He had been running like that for quite a while when he heard a voice right beside him.

 

“At this rate, when will we arrive?”

 

Along with those words.

 

“You just point the direction with your finger.”

“Huh? What do you mean…”

 

Whoooosh-.

 

Before he could finish speaking, tremendous wind pressure rushed into his face.

It was painful, as if the skin on his face would be peeled off.

 

“Won’t you point the direction properly?”

 

Milyeong barely endured the tremendous wind pressure and pointed the direction with his finger.

His fingertip shook wildly.

How far had they gone?

The wind pressure suddenly disappeared.

 

“Is it over there?”

 

No way?

They arrived already?

It’s a distance that would take half a si-jin even if he ran at full power?

When Milyeong looked down, he could really see Gwi Pung Gate.

Literally just a few blinks of the eyes, and Milyeong was dumbfounded.

 

“That’s right.”

“Really? Be quiet for a moment.”

“Yes.”

 

What was he trying to do?

Jeok Wigang brought his hand to his ear and cupped his palm around it.

It seemed like an action to listen better.

Could he really hear conversations from Gwi Pung Gate that far away by doing that?

By distance, it seemed to be roughly a hundred jang (about 300m)?

For now, he watched quietly without even making a breathing sound.

 

“Hmm. Nothing much interesting.”

“Huh?”

“The guy called sect leader and the guy called strategist are having a conversation, but it’s just trivial talk.”

“You can hear their conversation from that distance?”

“Yeah. I can hear it if I concentrate.”

 

Milyeong looked at Jeok Wigang with a blank expression.

This was going too far.

No dantian, no internal energy, yet there was nothing he couldn’t do.

 

“Hmm…”

 

After listening a bit more, he shook his head and showed irritation.

 

“Damn it! The two of them are sitting there telling dirty jokes. I went through all this trouble to come here in the middle of the night…”

 

Trouble?

When?

After arriving with just a few blinks of the eyes?

However, Milyeong stayed quiet.

If he spoke carelessly and made him uncomfortable, he might get hit again.

 

“What should I do? Should I just barge in and ask? Whether they’re plotting to attack Jin Mu Sect? It seems like I could just capture and kill the sect leader.”

“Huh? What about the martial artists of Gwi Pung Gate?”

“Huh? Do I need to worry about them too? Isn’t it usually enough to just catch the leader?”

“The martial artists of Gwi Pung Gate would never clear the way for you.”

“Is that so? Then should I blow them all away? It’s bothersome to move though.”

 

Milyeong showed an absurd look at Jeok Wigang’s words.

To find it bothersome to face all of Gwi Pung Gate.

 

“Gwi Pung Gate may have Demonic Faction roots, but it’s a sect that doesn’t do anything greatly against morality.”

“But those guys might attack Jin Mu Sect.”

“Huh? Attack Jin Mu Sect? They wouldn’t do that unless they were insane.”

“Huh? What do you mean by that?”

“I mean, who would dare touch the youngest son of the Cheonmu Castle Lord, the greatest under heaven?”

 

What is this about now?

 

“What are you talking about? I’m asking about Jin Mu Sect, so why does Heavenly Martial City come up?”

“Jin Mugun is the youngest son of the Cheonmu Castle Lord.”

“What?”

“Didn’t you know?”

“I didn’t know… No one ever told me.”

“Then when you asked me to list the sects that don’t get along well with Jin Mu Sect… was it to deal with sects that might attack Jin Mu Sect?”

“Yes. It was to eliminate any buds that might threaten the sect.”

“That won’t be necessary. Even without you doing so, there’s no sect in this area bold enough to touch Jin Mu Sect.”

“Then… who exactly were the ones who destroyed our sect?”

“What? Destroyed? It’s perfectly fine right now. Did you have a dream or something?”

“…”

 

Jeok Wigang felt something was strange.

Come to think of it, if history had flowed as it should, something should have happened by now at this age.

When he was eight years old, wasn’t he already living as an orphan?

But nothing had happened, and he wasn’t an orphan either.

With a suspicion in mind, he carefully asked.

 

“What’s the current era name?”

“It’s Hongryeok.”

“What? Hongryeok? Not Manmu?”

 

Manmu was the era name from when he was young.

 

“No… Emperor Manmu died twelve years ago, and now Emperor Hongryeok is the new emperor.”

 

Jeok Wigang stood there with a shocked expression.

Because he had turned into a baby, he thought he had returned to the past.

But that wasn’t it.

He had been living in complete delusion.

How did this happen?

He looked back at the situation before meeting his parents.

At the end, he had consumed the Thousand Day Intoxication and Heaven-Defying Body Restoration Pill that his younger brothers gave him.

Could it be?

Looking at Milyeong, he asked.

 

“Do you know about the Heaven-Defying Body Restoration Pill?”

“I know of it. Isn’t it a mysterious Spirit Pill that supposedly reverses one’s lifetime and turns them into a child? According to rumors, it returns you to the body of a newborn baby… Honestly, it’s absurd talk. How could a single antidote pill turn a dying old man into a child… It’s nonsense.”

 

It’s not a rumor.

Didn’t he take it himself?

Reverses one’s lifetime?

So that’s why he became a newborn?

Then why did his younger brothers make him take such a thing?

To run away again?

Because if he became a baby, he wouldn’t be able to chase after them?

Indeed, it was inconvenient to move when he was a baby.

Even if he had spotted his fleeing younger brothers, he wouldn’t have been able to chase them properly.

As if that wasn’t enough, they even put him to sleep.

He laughed at the absurdity.

He felt foolish for believing he had regressed.

It was probably because he happened to wake up in his mother’s arms that made the confusion worse.

But one thing was certain.

His parents’ love was genuine.

Even though he wasn’t their biological son, his parents gave him even more love than they would a real son.

It was the same now.

No matter what anyone in the world says, they are my parents.

His younger brothers may have done it to escape, but as a result, they had given him an enormous gift.

Hmm… should he forgive them?

Thinking it over, they were ungrateful bastards.

How well had he treated them, yet they ran away.

Still, since they gave him such a big gift, he should only punish them a little.

Jeok Wigang concentrated and sniffed the air.

However, he couldn’t smell his younger brothers’ scent.

They seemed to have erased their smell using some other method.

Among his younger brothers, there was one who was exceptionally good at alchemy.

That guy probably made an antidote pill that could erase scents.

Or they had gone so far away that he couldn’t smell them.

Indeed, finding them by scent had its limitations.

Jeok Wigang looked at Milyeong again and asked.

 

“Then do you know about the Four Heavenly Demon Gods?”

“What person from the Central Plains doesn’t know about the Four Heavenly Demon Gods?”

“Really? I’ve never heard of them.”

“That’s because everyone keeps quiet about it. The term ‘Four Heavenly Demon Gods’ is practically taboo in the Murim.”

“Are they strong?”

“They’re strong. When those guys were active, four-tenths of the Murim forces were wiped out. If the Heavenly Martial Emperor hadn’t stopped them, it’s terrifying to think what would have happened to the current Murim.”

“The Heavenly Martial Emperor…”

“He is your biological grandfather, Young Master.”

“Really? Why exactly did our father leave Heavenly Martial City?”

“It was because of your mother. The Heavenly Martial Emperor opposed the marriage, but Jin Mugun chose your mother. So he was cast out and became the son-in-law of Jin Mu Sect, which only had a daughter, and inherited the sect. Still, since it was the sect his son had entered, I understand the Heavenly Martial Emperor provided considerable support. Thanks to that, the sect was able to grow twice as large as Jin Mu Sect’s size at that time.”

 

There may have been backing, but his father had also put in that much effort.

He knew this well because he had heard and seen everything.

After hearing it all, he understood why the youngest son of the Cheonmu Castle Lord became the sect leader of Jin Mu Sect.
