Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 89
“It seems that child has been selling weapons in Heavenly Martial City for quite some time?”
“No, it hasn’t been long.”
“Then?”
“I heard he’ll be leaving soon. So there isn’t much time left.”
“W-wait. More importantly, is Cheongongro just staying quiet about this? If Cheonjang Gong finds out about this, he’ll be incredibly upset and cause a huge fuss, won’t he?”
“Cheonjang Gong knows the child too. I heard he makes weapons in Cheonjang Gong’s forge.”
“Huh…”
“Your divine spear too?”
“That’s right. I heard he’s a genius recognized by Cheonjang Gong.”
“Then isn’t he Cheonjang Gong’s disciple?”
“It doesn’t seem like it.”
“Then introduce me to him.”
“Me too!”
Mumyeong Star quietly nodded his head.
“You should say something.”
He sighed while looking at Mumyeong Star shaking his head.
“Geez. So frustrating. Everyone follow me. I’ve arranged a meeting place.”
“Good!”
“Let’s go quickly!”
At the place they followed Gu Yahuk to, a drinking table was set up and Jeok Wigang was standing there.
“Welcome.”
At Jeok Wigang’s greeting, Heukbu Star, Jin Seokmyeong asked Gu Yahuk.
“Is that the child?”
“That’s right.”
“Huh. He looks like a scholar.”
“If you judge by appearance, you’ll get into big trouble later.”
“Why? Is he strong despite his looks?”
“That’s right.”
“Oh? Really?”
“Let’s talk about that gradually and sit down first. The person who invited us will feel awkward.”
“Hmm! Shall we?”
He sat down and greeted Jeok Wigang.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Heukbu Star, Jin Seokmyeong.”
“I’m Byeokgung Star Im Muhyeon.”
“…”
Mumyeong Star sat down quietly.
Gu Yahuk said.
“This guy is Mumyeong Star and I don’t know his name. He doesn’t speak, so you’ll have to understand.”
Jeok Wigang nodded and said.
“Yes. First, shall we eat?”
“No, I’d like to see the weapons first.”
“Right.”
Urgency could be seen in the three people’s eyes.
If they hadn’t seen Gu Yahuk’s divine spear, they wouldn’t have shown such behavior.
“Let’s do that then.”
Jeok Wigang placed three boxes in front of each of them.
“Please open them.”
Click-.
When they opened the boxes, weapons with brilliant forms were inside.
Jin Seokmyeong lifted the axe from the box and exclaimed in admiration.
“What is this? Such a perfect axe! I love the color too!”
Im Muhyeon lifted the bow and tried drawing the string.
Twang twang-.
“Hehehe. This is driving me crazy. Such a feel in my hands. I’m dying to shoot it right away.”
Finally, Mumyeong Star looked at the dagger and opened his eyes wide in amazement.
“Do you all like them?”
“Wow, perfect.”
“I’ve finally found a weapon that’s perfect for me.”
“This really only costs five hundred gold taels?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll buy it right away.”
“Me too!”
The two people quickly pulled out their receipts and handed them to Jeok Wigang, worried that he might raise the price.
“Thank you. You are now the owners of those weapons.”
“Hehehe!”
With a delighted face, he kept stroking his weapon.
Only one person, Mumyeong Star, stroked her dagger with a serious expression, then looked at Jeok Wigang with a cold gaze.
Killing intent was even swirling in her expression.
“What? Why are you releasing killing intent?”
Gu Yahuk stepped in front of Mumyeong Star in confusion.
At that moment.
Mumyeong Star grabbed her dagger and rushed toward Jeok Wigang.
Swoosh—.
She disappeared like smoke and instantly thrust her sword right in front of Jeok Wigang’s eyes.
No, she tried to stab, but was blocked.
The dagger was caught between Jeok Wigang’s fingers.
Mumyeong Star looked at the fingers holding the dagger with trembling pupils.
The others also looked at Jeok Wigang in shock.
“What is this?”
Mumyeong Star didn’t answer and tried to pull out the dagger.
But Jeok Wigang had no intention of letting go.
If the reason for attacking him wasn’t justified, he wouldn’t let it slide.
“I asked what reason you had for attacking me.”
Jeok Wigang’s eyes turned frighteningly cold.
But Mumyeong Star didn’t answer and still glared at Jeok Wigang as if to kill him, releasing killing intent.
Then she let go of the dagger, threw her body backward, and launched numerous hidden weapons.
Clatter—.
Various types of hidden weapons flashed with light as they flew toward Jeok Wigang.
Thwack thwack thwack—.
Jeok Wigang caught all the hidden weapons flying toward him and threw them right back at Mumyeong Star.
Whoosh—.
The hidden weapons returned with a terrifying sound completely different from before.
Mumyeong Star was horrified and desperately twisted her body to dodge.
Having barely avoided the hidden weapons, Mumyeong Star turned her head to look at Jeok Wigang.
A fist appeared before her eyes.
“Kyaah!”
Stop—.
Jeok Wigang’s fist stopped right in front of Mumyeong Star’s nose.
Whoosh—.
The powerful fist wind blew away the cloth covering Mumyeong Star’s face.
“A woman?”
With the cloth gone, Mumyeong Star was revealed to be a middle-aged woman.
She glared at Jeok Wigang with cold eyes.
“Why did you attack me?”
“That dagger… did you make it?”
“Yes.”
“Where did you learn how to make daggers?”
“Why are you curious about that?”
“That dagger… contains the techniques of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods. Are you… a successor of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods?”
At the mention of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods, Im Muhyeon and Jin Seokmyeong simultaneously looked at Jeok Wigang with frightening eyes.
Both of them could turn hostile at any moment depending on Jeok Wigang’s answer.
“I did learn from someone. But I don’t know if that person was one of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods.”
“Lies! You’re currently trying to bewitch us with these weapons under orders from the Four Heavenly Demon Gods! You said you’ve been selling items to the Eight Heavenly Martial Stars and the leadership, right? It was all planned! And you! You’re incredibly strong! Ridiculously strong!”
Im Muhyeon and Jin Seokmyeong nodded at Mumyeong Star’s words.
Hadn’t they just watched the confrontation between Mumyeong Star and Jeok Wigang up close?
Rather, Mumyeong Star, one of the Eight Heavenly Martial Stars, had been pushed back.
That made it even more suspicious.
Skills that didn’t fall behind the Eight Heavenly Martial Stars at all, plus divine artifacts that one might see once in a lifetime.
Moreover, those divine artifacts were perfect as if custom-made for them.
At this point, suspicion became certainty, and Jeok Wigang instantly became a spy sent by the Four Heavenly Demon Gods to bring down Heavenly Martial City.
The three showed hostility and prepared to attack Jeok Wigang at any moment.
“Gu Yahuk! What are you doing? Are you hesitating because you’re reluctant to give up the spear you received from that bastard?”
At that, Gu Yahuk stood between the three people and Jeok Wigang.
“What? Are you really wavering? Just because of one spear?”
“That person is not a spy.”
“What?”
“‘That person’? Are you crazy?”
Jeok Wigang tilted his head for a moment, then understood and sighed.
It seemed Grandfather had revealed his identity.
At this rate, all the people of Heavenly Martial City would know.
“That person is the Castle Lord’s own grandson.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
“Among the grandsons we know, there’s no one like that.”
“Are you perhaps bewitched?”
“Yes. The Youngest Young Master.”
The three people hesitated at the words “Youngest Young Master.”
“That person from Jin Mu Sect?”
“Yes. He is that person’s eldest son.”
The three people had already released their hostility and looked at Jeok Wigang.
“Is that really true?”
Jeok Wigang let out a quiet sigh and nodded his head.
“Yes.”
“Huh.”
Mumyeong Star asked.
“Then where did you learn the method to make these weapons?”
“From someone I don’t know. I’ve been interested in blacksmithing since I was young, and I happened to meet someone who taught me the technique.”
“And you don’t know who that person is?”
Jeok Wigang nodded his head.
“That weapon manufacturing method is the one used by Paecheon Shin Ma among the Four Heavenly Demon Gods.”
“How do you know that so well?”
“Because I was that Paecheon Shin Ma’s lover.”
Jeok Wigang was startled.
‘What? He had a lover?’
The other people were also shocked.
“Pa, Paecheon Shin Ma was your lover?”
“Yes. I met him without knowing who he was. I thought he was just an ordinary blacksmith.”
“Huh…”
“Watching him make things brought peace to my heart. So I know well. His methods.”
Then she carefully examined the dagger.
“The way these wave patterns are created on the dagger comes from that person’s unique casting method.”
Then she looked at Jeok Wigang and said.
“Young Master, it seems you were also deceived by that person. As an apology, I’ll buy this dagger.”
Jeok Wigang scratched his chin.
When she first attacked him, he was really angry, but the misunderstanding had been cleared up.
“Please do.”
“But this dagger… it’s made perfectly for me. How did you know information about me?”
“I learned it through Grandfather.”
“The Castle Lord? He gave you my information?”
“Yes.”
“He’s not the type to do that.”
“We made a deal.”
“A deal?”
“He said he’d consider the successor position if I gave him information.”
My goodness.
The successor position of Heavenly Martial City is a position everyone covets.
But he made a deal with that?
Wait, saying he gave information means the Castle Lord wanted it more desperately.
Everyone looked at Jeok Wigang with surprised faces when Gu Yahuk cleared his throat and said.
“Ahem! I fully understand the Castle Lord’s heart. I would have done the same as the Castle Lord.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“There’s no one other than this person who suits being the next Castle Lord of Heavenly Martial City.”
“What?”
“Strength so great that even I cannot defeat him, plus an excellent mind. Along with mysterious magic arts and proficiency in formations, and he’s handsome too. Most importantly, he’s the Castle Lord’s own grandson, so his bloodline is certain.”
“Even you couldn’t defeat him? Are you saying you actually fought with Young Master?”
Gu Yahuk avoided eye contact.
“You did fight, didn’t you?”
The three people simultaneously looked at Jeok Wigang.
Unlike before, with burdensome gazes.
“Young Master is that strong?”
“When I saw his movements earlier, I did think he wasn’t an ordinary person.”
“He’s the one who blocked my surprise attack like it was nothing.”
At Mumyeong Star’s words, the other two people nodded.
Jin Seokmyeong picked up his axe and said.
“Could you show us as well?”
“Surely you’re not going to show him but not show us, right?”
“You can’t discriminate against customers.”
At the three people’s words, Jeok Wigang chuckled.
“Then all three of you come at once.”
“Ha!”
“Your confidence is excessive.”
“Judge for yourselves whether it’s excessive or not. Come on.”
The three people looked at each other and then nodded.
And at the same time, they rushed toward Jeok Wigang.
After Jeok Wigang left, four people sat at the remaining drinking table and drank alcohol.
The faces of the three people, excluding Gu Yahuk, were swollen and they groaned in pain with every movement.
“Ow! I’m dying.”
“There’s not a single place that doesn’t hurt.”
“I knew he was strong, but not that strong. Even with the three of us attacking, we couldn’t land a single hit.”
“We couldn’t even touch his collar. We just got beaten one-sidedly.”
“He didn’t show any mercy even though I’m a woman.”
“Now we can finally talk. I nearly died of frustration because you wouldn’t speak all this time.”
“I was doing silent meditation to calm my anger.”
“Is your silent meditation over?”
“Yes.”
“By the way, just how strong is the Young Master?”
Gu Yahuk spoke.
“When he fought me, he used First Star Level power. When he fought you guys, it didn’t seem much different.”
“What? You think he only used First Star Level when fighting all three of us?”
“Right. He must have used much more than when he fought you.”
“Whether it’s First Star or Second Star doesn’t matter. The Young Master made us like this without even trying hard.”
“Now I understand why the Castle Lord tried to make a deal with the Young Master, even going so far as to hand over our information.”
“He needs justification to make him his successor somehow.”
