Chapter 296. That Bastard For Sure

 

 

“A message from your wife has arrived.”

Mun In-baek-song, who received Woomun Ga-yul’s message delivered to the Black Martial Corps, immediately headed to the Alliance Leader’s office.

How long had they been waiting for this news.

Though Mun In-baek-song had appeared suddenly, Gong Ya-jang-cheon asked with an even more urgent expression.

“How did it go? What about Yeon-ah?”

“I came immediately upon receiving it…”

Mun In-baek-song respectfully handed over the sealed letter.

Gong Ya-jang-cheon hurriedly tore open the seal and examined its contents.

Gong Ya-jang-cheon urgently checking the message’s contents with anxious eyes.

“Whew.”

Since the first thing written was that Gongya Hwi-yeon was safe, he let out a sigh of relief.

However, after confirming all the remaining contents, shadows fell across his face.

He silently handed the message to Mun In-baek-song.

Mun In-baek-song, who had examined all the contents of the message received from Gong Ya-jang-cheon, frowned.

“Hmm… Hyeon-hwang…”

Mun In-baek-song with a grave expression.

Gong Ya-jang-cheon’s complexion also darkened.

“If it’s Hyeon-hwang, that would be that bastard, right? As expected?”

“The Mad Monk. That bastard for sure.”

Mun In-baek-song answered with a heavy voice.

“Hah. That bastard came out of Shaolin? Good grief…”

Gong Ya-jang-cheon frowning deeply.

Moreover, his granddaughter was captured by that damned bastard’s hands and his daughter-in-law nearly suffered humiliation.

If it hadn’t been for Ha Mu-baek.

“We really did well to ask Instructor Ha for help.”

At Mun In-baek-song’s words, Gong Ya-jang-cheon nodded.

Indeed, Mun In-baek-song was the Sahae Alliance’s one and only military advisor. His opinions were mostly correct.

“More than that… that bastard Hyeon-hwang dared to tamper with Yeon-ah’s body…”

Gong Ya-jang-cheon tapping the armrest of the Grand Master’s chair.

“Even Instructor Ha says he can’t break it immediately. Truly deserving to be called the Mad Monk.”

“How did that damned bastard get out of Shaolin? Wasn’t he suppressed and confined by Gwanghae Seong-seung? They said they even left a will to ensure he could never go out into the outside world?”

Before the Blood Cult and Demon Cult waged war.

There was a public enemy of Murim who brought chaos to All Under Heaven.

That was the Mad Monk.

A public enemy of Murim from Shaolin who spread his infamy throughout All Under Heaven.

Both orthodox and unorthodox sects trembled before that bastard.

However, his strength was indescribable, so just before the previous Sahae Alliance Leader was about to step forward.

Gwanghae Seong-seung, who was the Shaolin Sect Leader at the time, personally left the mountain gate.

And after a difficult battle, he finally managed to subdue that bastard and take him to Shaolin.

“Should we have killed him back then after all?”

Gong Ya-jang-cheon muttered with a voice full of regret.

At that time, Gong Ya-jang-cheon was still in his younger days.

It was when his opinions didn’t carry as much weight as they do now.

“Don’t you know the reason for that decision?”

Mun In-baek-song said with a dark face.

“Tsk.”

Gong Ya-jang-cheon’s face darkened as he recalled that reason.

That bastard was a monster in the truest sense.

A monster referring to an existence beyond human.

No one could kill that bastard.

They could subdue him but couldn’t kill him.

No matter what powerful energy they used, they couldn’t cut his neck or pierce his heart.

Even trying to destroy his dantian was immovable.

An unknown power was protecting him.

Even in a completely exhausted state.

Only Gwanghae Seong-seung’s martial arts could restrain that bastard.

Added to that were the sealing tools that Shaolin possessed.

So they followed Gwanghae Seong-seung’s opinion, but that monster has come into the world.

“Still, since that bastard couldn’t withstand it and fled, Instructor Ha truly seems to be a monster.”

“Well… he should be able to kill that bastard.”

At Mun In-baek-song’s words, Gong Ya-jang-cheon spoke with a bitter face.

“More than that. How could that bastard come out of Shaolin? He should be perfectly confined?”

“Shaolin must have released him.”

“With Gwanghae Seong-seung’s will in place?”

“The current Sect Leader’s Green Jade Buddha Palm takes priority over everything.”

At Mun In-baek-song’s words, Gong Ya-jang-cheon opened his mouth with a face like he’d been struck.

“So in the end, it’s something that monk Hyeon-gwang did…”

Gong Ya-jang-cheon’s eyes filled with rage and glowed bright blue.

“Hyeon-gwang… If it’s him, that makes sense. If he knew of the Young Lady’s existence. To that bastard, the unorthodox sects would be mortal enemies.”

At Mun In-baek-song’s words, Gong Ya-jang-cheon still spoke with a voice full of anger.

“If a monk has turned his back on the secular world, he should forget secular ties too. The way he’s privately using his power while bound by those ties… To think he used the Green Jade Buddha Palm to release a public enemy of Murim.”

“Destroying demons and eliminating evil, manifesting righteousness. It’s one of the paths Shaolin takes, Alliance Leader.”

“Baek-song, are you from Shaolin? Or the Sahae Alliance?”

“Naturally the Sahae Alliance.”

“Then why are you taking that monk’s side so much?”

“I’m merely speaking according to reason. One must always maintain cold rationality. I am the military advisor of the Great Sahae Alliance.”

Though he spoke this way, his hand hidden in his sleeve was clenched into a fist so tight it was crushing. To the point where his nails dug into his flesh.

“Even so, since the Shaolin Abbot unilaterally released a public enemy of Murim into the world, it seems we should protest to the Jeongcheon Alliance.”

Mun In-baek-song spoke in an ice-cold voice.

 

***

 

Mount Song’s Jungeuk Peak.

A peak next to Sosil Peak where Shaolin Temple was located, it was a steep and treacherous mountain ridge.

“Keheheh. This place is still the same.”

Deep within Jungeuk Peak.

Even there, it was a dark cave in the middle of a steep cliff.

This was Hyeon-hwang’s secret place where he used to hide and learn martial arts.

No one still knew of this place.

Now he just needed to learn the fragment he newly obtained here.

Hyeon-hwang still didn’t know what kind of fragment it was.

Back then too, he had only seen the aura this fragment gave off.

He hadn’t examined it.

When he discovered this, he had not yet fully gathered all the power of chaos and darkness.

And after gathering it all, he was intoxicated by that power and ran wild in Gangho.

Only now was he getting his hands on it to examine it.

He opened the Thousand-Hand Sarira Bodhi Sutra.

It was a Buddhist scripture filled with the obvious words of Buddha Lord.

However, that was only on the surface.

As Hyeon-hwang’s eyes filled with internal energy and began to see the essence.

Hidden characters within the book began to emerge.

And even the dense qi energy that those characters contained.

‘This is… the Void. Is this a fragment about one-tenth in size?’

He immediately grasped the essence.

It was the power of chaos that recognized the essence.

“Ridiculous. Heh heh.”

How could it not be so?

The Shaolin Temple’s Sutra Repository was a sacred place that stored Buddhist scriptures recording Buddha Lord’s words and martial arts containing Buddha Lord’s power.

But look at the primordial fragment pieces that Hyeon-hwang discovered here.

Chaos and darkness, and the Void.

Weren’t these all things that would be on the opposite side of Buddha Lord’s power?

‘Just wait a little. That bastard called Mu-baek.’

Now if he could just read all of this fragment.

Obtain the power of the Void.

And make it completely his own.

Such a guy would be nothing.

The moment a triumphant smile appeared on Hyeon-hwang’s face.

“Kraaaack! Krak! Aack!”

Hyeon-hwang suddenly screamed and rolled on the ground from the intense pain he felt.

Intense pain felt simultaneously in his head, heart, and dantian!

That damn senior brother bastard was chanting an incantation.

“Kraaaaaaaaack!”

Bang! Bang! Kwabang!

Crack crack crack.

Not stopping at just rolling on the ground, he crashed into everything wildly, causing stone dust to fall.

Even so, the pain became more severe.

He tried desperately to resist the restriction technique and pain, but there was no way.

Even when he tried to use the power of chaos and darkness.

He was helpless against the three sealing spheres.

It truly felt like being sealed by opposing forces.

“Kkeuk. Kkeuk. Kkeuk.”

Hyeon-hwang’s face turned deathly pale.

‘Da, damn it. Ho, how already…’

He thought he would be discovered, but it was far too fast.

He thought he would have at least a day’s leeway.

How could it be in just one hour?

The pain showed no signs of diminishing.

Hyeon-gwang was continuously chanting the incantation.

 

Hyeon-gwang, searching for where Hyeon-hwang was hiding, was currently spreading his ki sense as wide as possible while chanting the incantation.

When that guy writhed in pain and had a seizure, his presence would surely be felt.

Hyeon-gwang, who had been chanting the incantation while roaming all over Sosil Peak, shook his head.

He wasn’t on Sosil Peak.

“Then.”

His gaze turned toward Jungeuk Peak.

He planned to search that place first.

He might end up having to search all of the vast Songshan Mountain.

Because of that damn junior brother.

He should have just done what he was told.

As Hyeon-gwang entered Jungeuk Peak, the incantation continued to flow from his mouth.

How much time had passed since entering Jungeuk Peak?

‘Found him.’

The presence of that junior brother bastard clearly felt through his ki sense.

Hyeon-gwang immediately ran toward that location.

A sheer cliff.

Hyeon-gwang threw his body toward the dark cave in the middle of it.

The dark cave was quite deep.

Thud! Thud! Bang! Bang!

The sound of violently crashing into walls echoed through the dark cave.

He was slamming his body against the walls in pain.

Hyeon-gwang drew up all the internal energy in his body.

First, he had to subdue that guy.

Clank.

The iron chains he brought made a small sound as they struck each other.

Arriving at the end of the deep dark cave.

“Keuk. Kkeuk. Kkeuk.”

Hyeon-hwang, who had been crashing his body against the walls on all sides, was foaming at the mouth and looked like he might die at any moment.

Hyeon-gwang was not fooled by that appearance.

Swoooosh!

The iron chains in his hands pierced Hyeon-hwang’s shoulders and struck his vital points.

Only after completely restricting him like this.

Did Hyeon-gwang stop the incantation.

The endless screams stopped.

However, Hyeon-hwang could not regain his senses.

He had no choice.

Hyeon-gwang had been chanting the incantation for a full hour.

Rather, it was surprising and amazing that it took only one hour to search the vast Sosil Peak, cross over to Jungeuk Peak, and discover this place.

However, from Hyeon-hwang’s perspective, he had endured hellish pain for a full hour.

Since being sealed by the three sealing spheres.

He had never suffered from the incantation’s pain for such a long time.

This was the first time.

That’s why Hyeon-hwang was completely out of his mind.

Only after about this much time had passed.

Did focus begin to return to Hyeon-hwang’s eyes.

“Keu, kkeuk…”

After a small groan flowed out.

Hyeon-hwang looked around.

He realized he was restricted in exactly the same way as when he was confined in the Repentance Cave.

“You came quite quickly.”

Hyeon-hwang spoke while looking at Hyeon-gwang in front of him with resentful eyes.

“Because you’re the only bastard who could commit such an act.”

Hyeon-hwang fell into thought for a moment at Hyeon-gwang’s answer.

“Heh heh heh heh.”

Soon he let out a laugh of disbelief.

Right.

That senior brother bastard was correct.

If he caused such trouble, he would be the first to be suspected.

Others might not know, but that senior brother bastard would definitely suspect him.

To think so simply that he just needed to avoid showing his face.

His head seemed to have hardened with vengeful thoughts about that bastard called Mu-baek.

In the end, Mu-baek.

It’s all because of that bastard.

“Damn it. This is fucked.”

Profanity flowed from Hyeon-hwang’s mouth.

Hyeon-gwang glared at such Hyeon-hwang with cold eyes.

“What about the girl?”

The woman who was clearly a blood relative of the Four Seas Alliance Leader.

He had sent him to capture her.

Yet after stealing Buddhist scriptures from the Sutra Repository, he was here doing this.

When Yeon-jin reported meeting this bastard, he thought the mission was being carried out properly.

Was it a ploy to deceive his eyes?

Indeed, he shouldn’t have trusted this bastard.

Blinded by greed, he had made a grave mistake.

He should lock this bastard in Repentance Cave again. Before rumors spread throughout Gangho.

As he thought this.

“I lost her.”

Hyeon-hwang’s answer reached Hyeon-gwang’s ears.

An answer he hadn’t anticipated either.

Lost her?

So he went near Moklan Mountain, encountered that child, lost her, then returned to Songshan Mountain to cause this trouble?

Why on earth?

No, and this bastard lost her?

How?

Such questions arose on Hyeon-gwang’s face.

 

***

 

Ha Mu-baek ran and ran.

Now it was six hours to Shaolin.

Not much remained.

He stopped here briefly to rest.

No matter how skilled Ha Mu-baek was, it seemed he needed to recover to perfect condition to completely subdue and destroy that bastard.

There would be no more carelessness.

After briefly stopping to complete his energy circulation, Ha Mu-baek ran toward Shaolin again.

‘Wait just a little longer. Hyeon-hwang, Hyeon-gwang.’

He would hold them accountable for what they had done.

Gongya Hwi-yeon’s safety was at stake.

Previously, she was just a cadet of the Maengryong Corps.

But not now.

She was none other than the daughter of Woomun Ga-yul, his benefactor.

Now it was no different from Ha Mu-baek’s own affair.
