Chapter 290. Did She Say Mother?!?
Bang! Kwakwabang! Kuang!
Tremendous explosions burst out in all directions.
The sky shook and the ground trembled.
All four arrows were broken and scattered on the ground.
Hyeon-hwang’s torn robes were ripped here and there.
He glared at Woomun Ga-yul.
In the meantime, she had arrived and was beside Gongya Hwi-yeon.
“M-M-Mother…”
Gongya Hwi-yeon called out to Woomun Ga-yul with a trembling voice.
Woomun Ga-yul quietly embraced her daughter once, then glared at Hyeon-hwang.
‘How can such a monster exist in this world…’
The last war.
She had fought countless demons from the Blood Cult and Demon Cult, but there had been no monster that reached such a level.
“Oh ho. So you’re the mother. Very pretty indeed. Kheuheuheul.”
Gongya Hwi-yeon’s face was that of an ordinary man.
However, Woomun Ga-yul who had appeared shooting arrows was different.
Though she looked haggard from running without rest on the long journey.
Her beauty was not concealed.
Her beauty that was once counted among the Six Flowers of Gangho now had mature charm added to it, reaching the peak of beauty.
Gulp.
Hyeon-hwang examined Woomun Ga-yul thoroughly and unconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Energy throughout his body unconsciously arose and stirred.
A feeling of strength gathering below his waist, making it stiff.
“Good. Very good. Keulkeulkeul. I was told not to touch that wench. But the mother is even more to my taste!”
Gongya Hwi-yeon’s face turned deathly pale upon hearing those words.
“Mother! You must flee quickly! Urgh. Uurgh.”
Gongya Hwi-yeon, greatly alarmed, tried to get up but couldn’t move at all.
Hyeon-hwang was still restraining Gongya Hwi-yeon.
“Noisy. You stay over there for a while. I’ll take you after I enjoy some pleasure. A peerless beauty has appeared that can’t be compared to some gisaeng from Deungbong County. Kheuheuheuheu.”
With a light wave of his hand, Gongya Hwi-yeon’s body floated up and flew away.
Woomun Ga-yul frowned and glared at Hyeon-hwang.
A monster that still held her daughter in his grasp.
Moreover, he was looking at her with such eyes.
To safely rescue her daughter, she ultimately had to deal with that monster somehow.
‘I must do it.’
Woomun Ga-yul drew up internal energy from her dantian.
Her right hand grasped an arrow.
***
“Ha Mu-baek appeared in Anjing?”
This was news delivered from Haomun.
At Gong Ya-jang-cheon’s question, Mun In-baek-song confirmed.
“Yes.”
“Then…”
“The probability that Young Lady is in Anjing is high.”
Since that person was choosing to stay in a specific location.
The possibility was great.
“Huh. How…”
His granddaughter’s current situation was difficult to find even for Ha Mu-baek.
Yet he had tracked her down.
It was amazing.
“He’s such a monster after all…”
“Did you send news to Ga-yul?”
“We cannot determine Madam’s current location…”
At Mun In-baek-song’s answer, Gong Ya-jang-cheon nodded.
It was correct.
It was difficult to know where and how she was moving.
She would have gone to Moklan Mountain.
But her movements after that were unknown.
“Anjing… Anjing…”
“It seems they plan to return here via waterway.”
A map was already spread out.
Mun In-baek-song pointed to one place on the map.
Nanchang in Jiangxi Province.
“They probably intend to disembark here.”
“Then immediately…”
“As soon as the news came in, I sent people to Nanchang and Anjing as destinations.”
Not Muchang.
For places like Nanchang in Jiangxi Province and Anjing in Anhui Province.
They could barely manage to move Sahae Alliance’s military forces.
Though Anhui Province had the Namgung Family Estate in Hefei.
There was information that the Namgung family’s internal situation was currently chaotic.
Gong Ya-jang-cheon tapped the Grand Master’s Chair.
“Will it be alright?”
“Since Madam has stepped forward and Ha Mu-baek has also set out to find Young Lady. Unless there are any particular variables, there should be no problems.”
Mun In-baek-song did not yet know.
That Shaolin’s abbot Hyeon-gwang had already set a terrible variable in motion.
***
Bang!
Kwabang!
Kwakwakwakwabang!
Explosions that continued to burst.
These were explosions created by the collision of arrows and fists.
Woomun Ga-yul moved quickly and continuously shot arrows.
Silent Sound.
Destructive Force.
Heaven Kill.
Each arrow contained different internal energy.
She fired using both Destructive Force Heaven Kill technique and Silent Sound Heaven Kill technique.
Hyeon-hwang wildly swung both fists.
The unpleasant gray-colored Gang Qi.
That Gang Qi shattered all the arrows Woomun Ga-yul had shot.
Even though they were filled with Dark Gang.
‘I should have properly prepared the arrows…’
There was a limit to how much Gang Qi could be contained in ordinary arrows.
Even shooting them filled to their limit, they were blocked every time.
If only she had properly crafted steel arrows made by a master craftsman.
Then she could truly shoot them filled with maximum Gang Qi.
Hyeon-hwang, swinging both fists, was gradually moving to close the distance with Woomun Ga-yul.
Woomun Ga-yul was using her Lightness Skill to the maximum, maintaining distance while shooting arrows.
But she couldn’t stop Hyeon-hwang’s steadily advancing steps.
The arrows were gradually decreasing.
Gongya Hwi-yeon watched her mother with eyes full of worry.
Only about ten arrows remained.
“Mother!! I’m fine, so just leave! He can’t do anything to me!!”
She had already heard it directly from Hyeon-hwang’s mouth. That he couldn’t touch her.
But he had said her mother was different.
She couldn’t let her mother suffer humiliation at the hands of that monster monk.
So she shouted with all her might until her throat felt like bursting.
However, Woomun Ga-yul only continued glaring at Hyeon-hwang while shooting her bow.
Eight arrows remained.
“How noisy. Shut up.”
Hyeon-hwang deflected two arrows and sent Finger Wind toward Gongya Hwi-yeon.
Finger Wind that pressed her pressure points directly.
Gongya Hwi-yeon tried to continue screaming desperately, but her tongue stiffened and no voice came out.
She glared at Hyeon-hwang with eyes filled with venomous hatred.
Meanwhile, the arrows decreased to seven again.
Woomun Ga-yul briefly touched the sword at her waist.
This sword was also an ordinary long sword.
Could she really face that monster with this?
As time passed, she was increasingly realizing.
That she could not defeat that monster.
Her goal was to take her daughter and escape.
But even that seemed distant.
“Kekeke. Now seven remain. After that, let’s share Cloud and Rain Pleasure with this master. Though I may not look it, this master uses quite a bit of strength. Kukuku.”
Hyeon-hwang kicked off the ground.
He closed the distance with Woomun Ga-yul in an instant and swung his hand.
Woomun Ga-yul withdrew her body at maximum speed in that moment.
Hyeon-hwang’s hand swept through empty air.
“Oh ho. Quite fast.”
Hyeon-hwang’s eyes flashed.
“Interesting. Interesting. Yes, women should have this kind of flavor too. Hehehe.”
Pyung.
Another arrow was shot.
‘He’s faster than me.’
From this single exchange, Woomun Ga-yul also realized her opponent’s Lightness Skill speed.
Even withdrawing would be difficult.
Woomun Ga-yul glanced at her daughter.
Still in a restrained state.
Then.
What would happen if she drew this old monster far away?
No matter how much of a monster he was, he couldn’t maintain restraints across a great distance.
Now six arrows remained.
Woomun Ga-yul bit her lips tightly and finally made her decision.
[When the restraints are released, run toward Anjing with all your strength.]
Gongya Hwi-yeon’s eyes widened at her mother’s sudden Sound Transmission.
What did those words mean?
What was she trying to do by saying such things?
Woomun Ga-yul.
Placed her last hope in that unknown master named Ha Mu-baek.
That master who was moving to find her daughter.
Tyrannical God-Destroying Heaven-Killing Arrow.
Once again flew toward Hyeon-hwang.
At that moment.
Woomun Ga-yul turned and ran.
“Huh?”
He tried to chase after her sudden escape in haste.
But the Tyrannical God-Destroying Heaven-Killing Arrow pursued Hyeon-hwang.
“Tch. How troublesome.”
The moment he struck the arrow with a fist filled with Gang Qi.
KWAKWAKWAKWAKWANG!
A tremendous explosion rang out.
Thunder crashed and the earth shook.
This time, it was truly an arrow filled with Gang Qi to the point of bursting.
The aftershock reached all the way to Anjing.
This was the very aftershock that made Ha Mu-baek notice the disturbance outside Anjing.
Woomun Ga-yul ran with all her strength.
To draw that monster as far away from her daughter as possible.
She didn’t care what happened to herself.
She had to prevent her daughter from becoming Shaolin Temple’s hostage.
However.
Who would have thought such a monster existed in Shaolin Temple?
Moreover, in Shaolin Temple that despised evil arts, a monk with such ominous energy.
Hyeon-hwang, having dealt with the arrow aimed at him, kicked off the ground.
“Kahaha. It seems you’re embarrassed to share Cloud and Rain Pleasure with this master in front of your daughter. Though it’s nothing to worry about.”
Hyeon-hwang chased after the fleeing Woomun Ga-yul, shouting in a booming voice.
If Hyeon-hwang had just held onto Gongya Hwi-yeon, Woomun Ga-yul could never have escaped.
Such is the heart of a mother who came to save her daughter.
But Hyeon-hwang couldn’t understand such feelings.
More than anything, his eyes were currently blinded by lust.
How long had it been since he escaped Repentance Cave and came out into the world?
Yet because of that damned Abbot Senior Brother, he had only been chasing women.
Now that it had built up to this extent.
A beauty who could drive him mad had appeared before his eyes.
Though he spoke that way, Woomun Ga-yul was the most beautiful woman Hyeon-hwang had ever seen.
So his eyes went mad and his reason became paralyzed.
What now dominated his reason was not the brain in his head, but the thing between his legs.
As the two people disappeared like that.
Not long after.
Gongya Hwi-yeon felt her body could move.
She quickly got up.
She tried to run toward the direction where Mother had disappeared.
Mother had told her to flee to Anjing.
But she couldn’t do that.
Her reason told her she should, that only then would Mother’s sacrifice have meaning.
But her heart felt differently.
Even though she wouldn’t be of any help.
She had to chase after and help Mother.
She rolled up the sleeves of both arms.
The Seven Color Seal Transformation emitting a brilliant light.
She had to release this first.
“….”
She tried to speak but no sound came out.
Her pressure points were still sealed.
‘I shouldn’t have abandoned the Four-One Thunder Bow….’
If she had that.
Mother wouldn’t have been pushed back like this by that monster monk.
That’s what she thought.
“What happened here?”
Then.
A voice suddenly heard.
That voice.
Was a voice of salvation to her.
She turned her head toward where the voice came from and there he was.
The Number One Under Heaven.
Tears flowed down again from Gongya Hwi-yeon’s eyes as she smiled brightly.
“…. ….”
She urgently tried to explain the current situation.
But only her mouth moved.
No sound came out at all.
Ha Mu-baek looked at Gongya Hwi-yeon with a hardened face.
He thought she would have already arrived in Anjing or would arrive there today at the latest.
But he hadn’t expected her to be in such a state at all.
‘I was complacent….’
Ha Mu-baek’s insides boiled with anger.
A little over one year and three months since coming to Gyoryong Hall.
The comfort of that time had created changes in Ha Mu-baek’s attitude.
And the result was now.
‘I thought it was impossible for the Shaolin monks to catch up.’
So he had concentrated his ki sense on Anjing.
Finding her with ki sense after changing her appearance and restricting her internal energy with Seven Color Seal Transformation.
Was truly like finding a single grain of golden rice in a desert.
There were limits to expanding the range.
What he had expanded to the limit was the entire city of Anjing.
Anjing was definitely not a small city.
No, it was a huge city.
It was a city that had been the capital of Anhui Province before Hefei.
The Namgung Family had established themselves in Hefei and as they prospered, the capital moved to Hefei, but until then the capital had been Anjing.
Still a large and prosperous city.
Just casting ki sense over this entire place was an enormous task.
Yet Ha Mu-baek had even concentrated on finding Gongya Hwi-yeon in that state.
‘I was careless… my senses have dulled.’
Still, it was a painful mistake.
The qi energy he had felt from this place.
He never imagined there would be such a person among the Shaolin Temple monks.
No, he still doubted whether that person was really a monk from Shaolin Temple.
Right now.
The only ones who would chase Gongya Hwi-yeon were Shaolin monks.
‘Unless Master Hyeon-gwang came out personally….’
It was an absurd level of qi energy.
In front of Ha Mu-baek who was emanating a terrifying aura from self-reproach, Gongya Hwi-yeon kept moving her mouth.
She had to let him know her situation.
She was desperate.
Only then did Ha Mu-baek properly recognize Gongya Hwi-yeon’s condition.
“Were your pressure points sealed?”
The man standing before Gongya Hwi-yeon.
Ha Mu-baek.
He was truly nothing less than a ray of radiance in the darkness, a savior to Gongya Hwi-yeon.
Ha Mu-baek briefly examined Gongya Hwi-yeon’s neck and lightly tapped her pressure point.
Soon sound came from her mouth.
“Th-there was a monster-like monk at Shaolin. Called Hyeon-hwang….”
At those words, Ha Mu-baek frowned.
There was no such dharma name among the Hyeon generation he knew.
In the end, a variable he didn’t know, hadn’t anticipated, had intervened.
He had been complacent, so very complacent.
“So Mother is… huh? Th-that’s….”
As Gongya Hwi-yeon was urgently explaining, her eyes caught sight of the bow slung across Ha Mu-baek’s shoulder.
It wasn’t the form she knew.
But she clearly recognized the qi energy it emanated.
Wasn’t it her beloved weapon?
Of course, the qi energy it emanated now was much greater than when she had possessed it.
“You said Mother?!? Right now?”
Ha Mu-baek was equally surprised.
Because Gongya Hwi-yeon had said Mother.
The person he suspected to be his benefactor was Gongya Hwi-yeon’s mother.
“Gwancheon Sahwagung?”
Gongya Hwi-yeon nodded at Ha Mu-baek’s question.
“Release the restriction and stay in Anjing. There are no Shaolin monks there.”
Ha Mu-baek left those words and kicked off the ground.
He knew where to go.
The two qi energies that had been clashing here were moving.
However, since he had detected Gongya Hwi-yeon’s qi energy from this place.
He had stayed briefly.
Ha Mu-baek ran with full power.
Lightning Ten Thousand Li Movement.
He truly ran with every ounce of strength he had.
‘Damn it….’
Ha Mu-baek ran while cursing himself with every profanity.
He had no choice.
Due to his complacent carelessness, not only had Gongya Hwi-yeon nearly been captured.
Now even her benefactor was in danger.
The person fleeing was probably Gwancheon Sahwagung.
Because he could sense the aura of evil arts.
The one chasing behind would be that Shaolin monk called Hyeon-hwang.
But that aura.
‘It’s strangely familiar.’
How could such an ominous and sinister aura be familiar?
Though it was incomprehensible.
What mattered now wasn’t that.
The distance between the two was steadily shrinking.
‘Please!’
Ha Mu-baek moved even faster, desperately hoping he could arrive in time.
***
“Kuhaha! Is this place good enough!”
A small forest.
Here.
Woomun Ga-yul had been almost caught by Hyeon-hwang.
‘Please hold on.’
Woomun Ga-yul nocked all four remaining arrows on the bowstring.
Then she poured her internal energy into the bow and arrows.
Kukukukuku-kwakwakwakwa!
Four arrows flying at once.
Tyrannical God-Destroying Heaven-Killing Arrow.
All four flew simultaneously, targeting Hyeon-hwang.
