Episode 8
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Baek Jin-seo from Yeomwangdan charged forward like a bear. On his shoulders sat Jeon Hye-yun, arrogantly crossing her legs.
“Jin-seo.”
“Yes, big sister.”
“You’re slow.”
Jeon Hye-yun pointed her greatsword at the pair of man and woman running ahead—Im Cheong and Yun Ha-ram from Ghost Spirit Hall.
“Are we going to be slower than those guys?”
“But they’re from Ghost Spirit Hall.”
Ghost Spirit Hall was an organization that specialized in martial arts like lightness skills and stealth techniques, as they gathered information.
“But?”
Jeon Hye-yun mimicked Baek Jin-seo’s way of speaking and grabbed one of his ears.
“Aah! Aaaah!”
Baek Jin-seo’s head tilted back as he was charging straight ahead, causing his direction to veer sideways.
“You fool! When big sister speaks, you should just say ‘yes, yes,’ but you dare to argue?”
This time Jeon Hye-yun smacked the back of Baek Jin-seo’s head with her palm.
“Did I raise you to be like this?”
“Big sister didn’t actually raise me…”
“You little runt, I carried you around and even took care of your meals!”
“Even back then, I was taller than you… Ack! Ah, it hurts! It really hurts, big sister!”
When Jeon Hye-yun pinched and twisted his ear, Baek Jin-seo screamed and hopped around.
Even during all this, Jeon Hye-yun never once lost her balance.
“Stop being dramatic and let’s go. We need to find treasure.”
“Even if we get to the treasure early… Ack!”
Under Jeon Hye-yun’s tyranny, Baek Jin-seo finally surrendered and hurriedly pressed forward.
Whoosh—
Tap tap tap!
Song Mu-hyeon and Ma A-jin from Hyeon-ma Tak Family climbed high up the trees.
“Brother Mu-hyeon, how are we going to move?”
Ma A-jin crossed her arms and glared at Im Cheong and Yun Ha-ram who were in the lead.
“What about you?”
“I asked first, didn’t I?”
When Ma A-jin glared at him, Song Mu-hyeon chuckled.
“There you go being evasive again!”
Song Mu-hyeon’s expression showed no particular change, as if her scolding was familiar to him.
“Aren’t you curious about their skills?”
Ma A-jin showed her competitive spirit like a true martial artist.
“Not particularly.”
In contrast, Song Mu-hyeon shrugged his shoulders, showing little interest.
“But they’re from Yeomwangdan and Ghost Spirit Hall?”
“We’re from Hyeon-ma Tak Family. We may be part of Phoenix Corps now, but don’t forget the teachings of the Tak Family.”
At Song Mu-hyeon’s suddenly serious tone, Ma A-jin pouted her lips.
“You’re always so full of yourself.”
Though she was being sarcastic, it wasn’t entirely wrong.
Song Mu-hyeon had a good reputation within Hyeon-ma Tak Family, unlike Ma A-jin.
He was an upright gentleman with a well-rounded personality and no rough edges, always a senior who spoke correctly.
If he were placed in Gangho, he would appear to be an upright junior disciple of the righteous martial arts faction.
His martial arts skills were also always mentioned when discussing the top junior disciples.
‘Since Song Mu-hyeon judged and decided this.’
Ma A-jin soon withdrew her interest and quietly flew off in another direction following Song Mu-hyeon.
“Gwi-nyeo!”
Yun Ha-ram called to Im Cheong through voice transmission.
“What, scholar?”
“They keep following us?”
“So?”
“Aren’t they planning to take it by force?”
Jeon Hye-yun and Baek Jin-seo were openly following them without even trying to muffle their sounds.
“All ignorant fools who only trust in strength are like that.”
“What should we do?”
“What do you mean what should we do?”
When Im Cheong smiled coldly, the whites of her eyes stood out prominently.
A moment later.
Swoosh—
Im Cheong and Yun Ha-ram simultaneously deployed the Ghost Heaven Formless Art and disappeared like smoke.
Using the darkness cast over the forest as their companion, the two hid themselves even more deeply and secretly.
“Huh?”
Baek Jin-seo, who had been earnestly following Im Cheong and Yun Ha-ram, stopped in his tracks.
“Big sister! The, the two of them disappeared!”
“What?”
Jeon Hye-yun, who had been looking around in case there might be treasure, furrowed her brow and stood up.
“Ha! Look at these guys. Who else but ghosts would use the Ghost Heaven Formless Art?”
A smile spread across Jeon Hye-yun’s lips as if she found it amusing.
“I followed them specifically because they seemed better at finding treasure than me…”
Strength entered her hand gripping the greatsword.
“Big sister, what are you going to do?”
“What am I going to do?”
For the first time since entering the forest, Jeon Hye-yun got down from Baek Jin-seo’s shoulders.
“Hehehehe!”
Energy surged from her entire body. Her neat hair became disheveled and fluttered wildly.
“If there’s nowhere to hide, they’ll have to show themselves.”
Boom!
Jeon Hye-yun struck the ground hard with her greatsword.
The nearby earth shook as it was caught up in the energy.
And the next moment.
CRASH!
The forest shook from her wild sword rampage.
As a storm swept through the quiet mountain forest, thickets were torn apart and trees snapped. Large and small stones flew around like projectiles.
“B-big sister!”
Startled, Baek Jin-seo urgently tried to stop Jeon Hye-yun.
“At this rate, even the treasure will disappear! Please calm down!”
“If it disappears, then it disappears. If I can’t have it, then no one else can either.”
Jeon Hye-yun’s logic was simple.
If I can’t take it, I’ll destroy it.
“Where did you hide?”
Jeon Hye-yun looked around while holding her greatsword. Her sharp gaze was searching for Im Cheong and Yun Ha-ram.
Bang!
Only the innocent forest gradually turned into chaos under Jeon Hye-yun’s greatsword.
“Wow! How can someone be so brutish!”
Ma A-jin, who had been watching from a distance, clicked her tongue.
She was astounded by Jeon Hye-yun’s behavior of suddenly slashing up the forest.
“That little thing has quite the nasty temper. She’s going to get herself in serious trouble someday.”
“She may be short, but she’s older than you.”
“How does big brother know that? Did you investigate her beforehand?”
When Ma A-jin turned around, Song Mu-hyeon stroked his chin and chuckled.
“It’s more like I looked into her. She’s a woman with quite a reputation.”
“She has quite a reputation?”
“Yes, like someone else I know.”
“…Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Well… I wonder why?”
“Ah, so who is she!”
At Ma A-jin’s irritation, Song Mu-hyeon held up three fingers.
“The Three Great Witches of the Main School.”
It wasn’t an official title.
It was simply an unofficial designation for three female masters with such notorious reputations among the later generation disciples of Maegyo that they had to be avoided at all costs.
Song Mu-hyeon’s finger pointed first at Ma A-jin.
“The crazy bitch of this area is me, the Mad Woman of Hyeon-ma Tak Family, Ma A-jin.”
Since Ma A-jin already knew she was called the Mad Woman, she couldn’t argue back.
She could only glare at Song Mu-hyeon with narrowed eyes.
Song Mu-hyeon, who was prepared to flee if the Mad Woman went on a rampage, confirmed she hadn’t reached her breaking point yet and hurriedly continued his explanation.
“Is this blood yours or mine? The Blood Woman of Yeom-wang Unit, Jeon Hye-yun.”
“Blood Woman? Her?”
“I told you she’s older than you.”
“Who’s the remaining one?”
“Are you human or ghost? The Ghost Woman of Ghost Spirit Hall, Im Cheong.”
When Song Mu-hyeon mentioned Im Cheong, who was somewhere around, Ma A-jin snorted and sharply turned her head.
“Hmph! Three Great Witches my ass!”
Though she pretended to be indifferent on the outside, what showed in Ma A-jin’s eyes was clear curiosity.
“The Three Great Witches have coincidentally all gathered under First Miss, and on top of that, the Leader’s nickname is Divine Wind Witch…! Ugh! How scary, so scary!”
Song Mu-hyeon exaggeratedly trembled and rubbed his arms.
Kwaaaaang!
The forest was destroyed once again by the sword wind created by the great sword.
Crack!
Crash!
Trees snapped, rocks burst, and the ground was turned upside down.
Even amidst all this, Yun Ha-ram’s expression remained calm.
A giant tree fell over his head, and stone fragments grazed past his face, but he didn’t even blink.
His immovable mind was remarkable, as if he had become a stone Buddha.
“Hehe, hehehehe.”
The problem was Im Cheong.
Im Cheong’s eyes, covered in dirt, moss, and wood fragments, were not normal.
Swoooosh—
She secretly approached Jeon Hye-yun through the shadows.
‘So it has come to this.’
Yun Ha-ram briefly considered stopping Im Cheong, but soon dismissed the thought.
Im Cheong was near Jeon Hye-yun, and not far away, Ma A-jin was looking down at this place from atop a tree.
Ghost Woman, Blood Woman, Mad Woman.
True to his Ghost Spirit Hall origins, he was well aware of the Three Great Witches of the Main School.
With three witches notorious for their terrible personalities gathered in one place, a massive fight breaking out was a foregone conclusion.
‘I should go look for treasure instead.’
Yun Ha-ram quickly moved away from Im Cheong and Jeon Hye-yun and released his Ghostly Formless Technique.
“…!”
Then, whether by chance or fate, he came face to face with Song Mu-hyeon.
Both simultaneously raised their hands to show they had no intention of fighting.
‘You too?’
‘You too?’
Confirming they were of the same mind, Yun Ha-ram and Song Mu-hyeon nodded and were about to split off in opposite directions to search for treasure when—
Kwaang!
A tremendous explosion erupted.
Then the screams of two women rang in their ears.
“Kyaah!”
“Kyaaaak!”
It was the signal that Im Cheong and Jeon Hye-yun had entered full-scale combat.
But then.
“You bitches! If you’re going to fight, fight quietly among yourselves. Why are you sending debris flying at innocent me too, damn it?”
As expected, the Mad Woman joined the fight between the Ghost Woman and Blood Woman.
