Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 79

 

 

 

The bed was instantly dyed red with blood flowing from Gongsun Cheongi’s body.

As the guard warriors tried to approach in surprise, the Captain of Guards stretched out his hand to stop them.

 

“Don’t go! This seems to be the most crucial moment.”

 

At those words, the guard warriors clenched their fists tightly and gritted their teeth.

The fingernails of the guard warriors who clenched their fists dug into their flesh, causing blood to flow down their palms.

 

Crack crack crack-.

Crunch-.

 

Tremendous sounds came from Gongsun Cheongi’s violently trembling body, then he suddenly opened his eyes wide.

 

“Gasp!”

 

He exhaled all the breath he had been holding, then looked up at the ceiling with an expression filled with joy.

Gongsun Cheongi’s body, which had been turning blue, instantly regained its color, and a warm heat that had never been felt before emanated from his body.

Seeing this, the guard warriors realized.

That the illness of Gongsun Cheongi, whom they served, had been cured.

 

“Haa!”

 

Jeok Wigang also exhaled the breath he had been holding all at once and removed his hands from Gongsun Cheongi’s body.

 

“It’s finished. You can get up now.”

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, Gongsun Cheongi slowly rose from his position.

On his face was a complex mix of indescribable emotions.

Gongsun Cheongi, who had risen from his position, began touching his body here and there with trembling hands.

 

“It’s, it’s not cold… It’s warm… No, it’s hot.”

 

He embraced his own body as if moved, then immediately sat down and began to shed tears.

 

“It’s not cold! My, my body is hot! I’m overflowing with strength!”

 

The tears flowing from Gongsun Cheongi’s eyes grew thicker and thicker.

 

“Sob sob sob! It, it doesn’t hurt either… I’m not even short of breath…”

 

How long had he waited for this moment.

He had probably resigned himself to dying without ever experiencing this.

He had let go of everything and was only waiting for the day he would die.

But a miracle had occurred.

Gongsun Cheongi prostrated himself on the ground and wept.

 

“Waaaaaah!”

 

All the resentment that had built up.

The suffering.

As if trying to wash away all the fear.

The guard warriors also turned their heads and wiped away their flowing tears.

After crying like that for a while, Gongsun Cheongi rose from his position with a refreshed expression and looked at Jeok Wigang.

 

“Thank you! You are the benefactor of my life! From now on, I will do anything for you.”

“I gave you new life and you’ll live for me?”

“Because it’s the life you gave me.”

“Forget it. You have something else you want to do.”

“Huh?”

“Your ability. Your talent. You wanted to spread that to the world, didn’t you?”

“How did you know?”

“I’m sorry. Actually, I knew about you. It’s also true that I approached you on purpose. I heard information that you frequently came to that pavilion, so I deliberately positioned myself there and waited.”

 

Gongsun Cheongi nodded his head.

 

“I thought so.”

“Did you notice?”

“Yes.”

“Did you really trust me?”

“Yes. Your eyes weren’t the eyes of someone who came to kill me, but the eyes of someone who came to save me.”

 

At Gongsun Cheongi’s words, Jeok Wigang chuckled.

 

“No matter what you say, the fact that you’re my life’s benefactor doesn’t change. No, I’m even more grateful. You went through all this troublesome acting just to save me, didn’t you?”

“Then let me make just one request.”

“Alright. Say anything. I’ll do everything I can.”

“Young Master!”

 

The guard warriors urgently stopped Gongsun Cheongi.

 

“Why?”

“He is indeed the benefactor who saved Young Master’s life, but isn’t saying you’ll do anything too much?”

“He’s my life’s benefactor. I would have died anyway if it weren’t for Kang Wi.”

“But…”

 

Gongsun Cheongi ignored the guards and looked at Jeok Wigang.

 

“Tell me. What is it that you want?”

“Become the Military Advisor of Heavenly Martial City.”

“Huh?”

 

At the completely unexpected request, Gongsun Cheongi momentarily showed a bewildered expression.

 

“What do you mean? The Military Advisor of Heavenly Martial City is currently my father.”

 

At that, Jeok Wigang shook his head.

 

“Military Advisor of Cheonmu Castle, your father has passed away.”

“What?”

 

Gongsun Cheongi looked at Jeok Wigang with wide eyes as if he couldn’t believe it.

The other guards also looked on with shocked expressions.

 

“Wh-what are you saying? Father has… passed away? I’ve never heard such news.”

“It’s true. Cheonmu Castle is currently in chaos due to the Military Advisor’s absence.”

“What happened?”

 

Jeok Wigang told Gongsun Cheongi everything that had happened.

 

“Baekma Heaven… Those bastards humiliated Father and… disguised themselves as Father, pretending to be him?”

“Yes.”

“What about Father’s body?”

“We couldn’t find it. There wasn’t time to ask.”

“You killed them.”

“Yes.”

“Thank you…”

“I only did what needed to be done.”

 

Gongsun Cheongi clenched his fists tightly.

 

“Baekma Heaven… I want to take revenge on those bastards…”

“I’ll give you a chance for revenge. Become the Military Advisor of Cheonmu Castle.”

 

Gongsun Cheongi looked at Jeok Wigang and asked.

 

“Who are you? The name Wigang is probably fake too, right?”

“That… I’ll tell you later.”

“You’re… connected to the Castle Lord, aren’t you?”

 

Jeok Wigang chuckled softly.

He didn’t deny it.

 

“You’re not among the people I know. Then you must be a third party not in Cheonmu Castle, yet connected to the Castle Lord.”

 

Jeok Wigang quietly listened to Gongsun Cheongi’s words.

 

“If you’re not in Cheonmu Castle but connected to the Castle Lord, there’s one person. The current Gate Master of Jin Mu Sect and the youngest son of the Cheonmu Castle Lord. He’s said to have two sons, and judging by age, you must be Jin Mugun’s eldest son and the Cheonmu Castle Lord’s grandson, right?”

 

Jeok Wigang smiled broadly.

 

“Your abilities are… outstanding enough for even the Castle Lord to covet. Perhaps he might want to seat you as Castle Lord?”

 

As expected, he had read people correctly.

Even when Gongsun Cheongi was suffering from Nine Yin Severed Meridians, there was a reason he earned the trust of those around him.

With him as he is now, he would reorganize the chaotic Cheonmu Castle in a short time and transform it into an increasingly solid fortress as days passed.

Now he wouldn’t need to worry about Cheonmu Castle and could focus on other matters.

Seeing Jeok Wigang’s expression, Gongsun Cheongi felt that all his predictions were correct.

However, judging that Jeok Wigang had reasons for hiding, he shook his head and said.

 

“It’s just my guess. Sigh…”

“I’ll tell you the truth later.”

“Alright.”

“Let’s go home for now.”

“I’ll tell them at home myself.”

Jeok Wigang nodded.

 

 

 

The Family Head of the Gongsun Family, Gongsun Cheonbaek, was looking at Gongsun Cheongi who had come to his office with a surprised expression.

 

“You… how did this happen?”

“Family Head, I’m completely healed.”

“Hey, when we’re alone, call me older brother.”

“Yes, Older Brother.”

 

Gongsun Cheonbaek approached Gongsun Cheongi.

Since their father was busy with Cheonmu Castle affairs from childhood, he had taken care of Gongsun Cheongi and raised him like a son.

So he was closer to a son than a younger brother.

Gongsun Cheonbaek asked with a trembling voice.

 

“What did you just say?”

“Exactly what I told you.”

“So what do you mean? You’re completely healed? What’s healed?”

“You know what my illness is, Older Brother.”

“I know. That’s why I’m asking, isn’t it? Even the Heavenly Doctor shook his head and left… and now you say you’re completely healed…”

“That’s right. The Nine Yin Severed Meridians has been completely cured.”

 

Gongsun Cheonbaek looked at Gongsun Cheongi with an unbelieving expression.

Then he hurriedly began touching various parts of Gongsun Cheongi’s body.

From Gongsun Cheongi’s body, which had always felt cold and chilly, he could feel warm heat.

 

“Th-this can’t be… It’s, it’s really true! Your illness has really been healed!”

 

Tears welled up in Gongsun Cheonbaek’s eyes.

 

“Yes. How were you healed?”

“My friend healed me.”

“Friend?”

 

Gongsun Cheongi had no friends.

 

“I made a friend recently. That friend cured my illness. I wanted to introduce him to you, Older Brother, so I brought him.”

“Is that so? Qu-quickly bring him in!”

 

As the door opened and Jeok Wigang entered, Gongsun Cheonbaek slowly examined his appearance.

 

“Older Brother.”

“Ah! How rude of me! Since I heard you were the one who healed my younger brother, I found myself studying you closely without realizing it. If I’ve offended you, I apologize.”

 

As Gongsun Cheonbaek apologized with a cupped fist salute, Jeok Wigang smiled and responded with his own cupped fist salute.

 

“Not at all. I completely understand.”

“Thank you so much for healing my younger brother! From now on, the Gongsun Family will treat you as a benefactor of our clan.”

“You don’t need to do that. I simply healed a sick friend. I didn’t expect anything in return.”

“Huh…”

 

There wasn’t a trace of falsehood in Jeok Wigang’s expression.

A deep smile formed on Gongsun Cheonbaek’s lips.

He had worried that his brother might die alone without ever making a single friend in his lifetime, but to think he had made such a wonderful friend.

Something made him curious.

 

“Did you learn medical arts? I’m curious how you healed my younger brother.”

“It wasn’t medical arts but magic arts that I used for healing.”

“Magic arts?”

 

Jeok Wigang explained the process of treating Gongsun Cheongi in detail.

After hearing the entire process, Gongsun Cheonbaek was amazed.

 

“Huh! Such incredible magic arts! From what I know, using two or more magic arts simultaneously isn’t an easy task… But from what I’m hearing now, you used four or more at once.”

“It was a gamble for me too.”

 

Gongsun Cheonbaek was shocked.

Having knowledge of magic arts, he knew that using four magic arts simultaneously was impossible.

However, there was no falsehood in Jeok Wigang’s words, and the fact that his younger brother’s Nine Yin Severed Meridians had disappeared also supported his claim.

What was strange, though, was that it felt somehow different from the ordinary magic arts he knew.

Since he didn’t know every magic art in the world, he just let it pass.

Whatever it was, thanks to it, his younger brother had recovered, hadn’t he?

He had been heartbroken watching his younger brother wither away day by day.

Now his health would improve and he would even get married.

 

“Hahahaha!”

 

When he got married, there would be nephews too.

The thought of seeing nephews made him laugh spontaneously.

 

“Older Brother?”

“I laughed thinking that I’ll be able to see nephews too. I should hurry and find you a marriage partner.”

“Older Brother!”

“Hahahaha! What’s wrong? Are you embarrassed?”

 

Seeing Gongsun Cheonbaek laughing with genuine joy, Gongsun Cheongi also chuckled.

It was the first time he had seen his older brother laugh like that.

Soon he would have to deliver bad news, but he let him enjoy this moment for now.

 

 

 

Gongsun Cheongi carefully asked Gongsun Cheonbaek.

 

“Have you been hearing news about Father?”

“I have been. He seems incredibly busy these days without a moment to spare. I don’t know what keeps him so busy when the world has stabilized. Recently, he hasn’t even been replying to the letters I send.”

 

At the mention of no replies, Gongsun Cheongi’s expression hardened.

Gongsun Cheonbaek spoke in a gentle voice.

 

“Why? Are you worried that something might have happened to Father? Don’t worry. You know well where Father is, don’t you? Heavenly Martial City. And he’s the Military Advisor of Heavenly Martial City at that. There’s no one who would dare touch Father, so you don’t need to worry.”

 

Gongsun Cheonbaek comforted Gongsun Cheongi.

Having to deliver bad news to such an older brother, the words wouldn’t come out easily.

 

“Older Brother… Father is no longer in Heavenly Martial City.”

 

At Gongsun Cheongi’s words, Gongsun Cheonbaek tilted his head.

 

“What do you mean? Where did he go? And how do you know this?”
