Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return

Episode 167

Gu Muak groaned and slowly opened his eyes.

What came into my blurry vision was none other than the palace hall of the Hyeongsan faction.

I breathed a sigh of relief as I looked at the place that had become my useful home since I happened to learn the martial arts of the Hyeongsan Sect.

‘I… it was a dream.’

There was no way such a great expert would come looking for him. Unless someone within Haomun betrays something, this could never happen.

Since he was an old man who thought he took care of his subordinates better than anyone else, it never even occurred to him that someone had betrayed him.

“Are you awake?”

“Tick’?!”

I immediately stood up when I heard one word.

For a moment, an excruciating pain rushed from my face where I had been hit. He stumbled greatly, covered his face with one hand, and looked in the direction from which the sound was heard with trembling eyes.

There was a man who had lit a fire in a brazier and was roasting a wild boar he had caught somewhere. He tore off one leg and threw it towards Gumuak.

“Eat.”

“Hehe… Hee hee…

The boar’s leg fell in front of Gumuak

.

Gu Muak, who was surprised because he thought Memorization was coming, glanced at the meat and sighed in relief.

‘Oh, you’re not dead yet? yes?’

Gu Muak watched Dan Woo-hyeon’s thoughts as he took care of the meat. When I saw that human being over there, it seemed like he wasn’t dead.

As I slowly bit into the meat, I realized once again that it was definitely alive.

“I was thinking of just breaking his neck.”

“Huh?!”

At Dan Woo-hyeon’s words, Gu Muak stopped eating the meat and swallowed his breath.

This is because I felt the truth in Dan Woo-hyeon’s words.

“But it seemed like keeping him alive would be useful in many ways.”

“thank you! “This Gumuak will work hard for the rest of its life to be of help to Daehyup in the future.”

“You’re saying the same thing as some guy.”

Dan Woo-hyeon smiled.

As I was looking at this guy, Jang Sam-tae came to mind. That may be why they didn’t kill him.

He wasn’t very good at first, but he became more useful as time went on.

“What is Hao Wen’s level of information?”

“That’s right… it’s within a finger’s reach of midfield…”

I flinched and slowly turned my head. There was no way a martial artist would not know about Hao Wen’s ability to gather information.

Because it was comparable to a place where you can hear first-class sound in terms of martial arts such as Gaejae and Salgak.

“At best?”

“At best? That alone would be great….”

“Where in the central region has the most information?”

“Of course it’s open, isn’t it? Next would be the Ronin… and then there are the merchants… and the assassins…”

“There are a lot of them.”

“Yes…?”

Dan Woo-hyeon, who put a piece of meat in his mouth, looked at Gumuak.

A small smile spread across his lips, even though he was not making any facial expressions. Gu Muak swallowed his saliva at the smile whose meaning he could not understand.

“My thoughts are a little different. “I think Haomun is the place with the most information in the central plain.”

“How could you say such a thing…” Gu Muak flinched and trembled.

“First of all, the proof is that Hao Mun, a group of scoundrels, is operating as an information source. Second, it is natural that there were risky people who have done countless transactions over the years. Despite this, Hao Wen

is still alive and well.”

“That’s it, if you dodge it here and there…

“Thirdly, whether you are a high official or a martial artist,

you can’t escape Hao Wen’s eyes

.” This was the most important part.

Gumuak closed his mouth.

The information power of the ronin who traveled around the central plains was quite remarkable. However, when they had money, they stopped by Kiruna gambling house.

This was the same for anyone, whether it was a high-ranking official or someone else.

Therefore, all kinds of information is collected in Haomun, which manages the kiru and the gambling house.

Thanks to this, we can collect information faster than anywhere else, analyze it, and demonstrate the ability to sell only certain information.

That place is Haomun.

“It seems to me that you guys know secret things that you should never know. That’s why you’re hiding like this.”

“Hahaha….”

‘Oh my… Damn it!’

Gumuak smiled and turned his head.

In fact, he also thought that Hao Wen was the best intelligence organization in the Central Plains.

Even excluding subjective judgments, this is why the Haomun clan owners have lived in complete secrecy for generations.

Just like Gumuak is doing now.

“You said you don’t know about me, but in reality,

you probably know to some extent.” Gumuak closed his mouth as his gaze was like a blade.

It was also a lie to say that I did not know about Honam Danga. I couldn’t say everything, but I already knew most of the facts.

But there was really no useful information about interest.

Is it just that he is strong and that he has solved most of the major incidents that occurred in Akyang, starting with the Black Demon Association?

There was absolutely no information about where it appeared or which sect it was an expert in.

But it’s even more than that.

“For example, is it just that Nangong Cheon and Sadohak are staying?”

“Hahaha…”

I wasn’t sure, but I had some idea about those two people.

Two people who are active under the masks of Gunjageom and Macheongun.

However, due to the lack of accurate information, I was not sure.

That’s why he deliberately sold information about scandalous people.

If they touch Honam Danga, they will be able to find out in detail what is happening there.

If you do it well, you could get valuable jackpot information.

If Namgungcheon and Apostolic Studies are fully implemented, the value of that information will be beyond imagination.

The peak of the Sa faction and the leader of the political faction known to be dead.

If Moorim were to know that the two were living in one place, the impact would be enormous.

“You’re amazing, Daehyeop. “I cannot hide my surprise.”

Gu Muak realized that he could no longer hide his true feelings.

After contemplating his expression, he bowed and looked at Dan Woo-hyeon. Although I was still afraid, the person in front of me was worthy of being polite.

“So, I would like to hear the reason why you spared this Gumuak’s head without slitting it

.”

“I need to get some information.”

“Information… do you mean?”

“okay. “Is there any other reason why I should keep you alive?”

Gu Muak swallowed a groan at Dan Woo-hyeon’s words.

“What information do you need?”

“Information about the red-haired man and those associated with Manhu Liang.”

“I don’t know about the redhead, but if it’s Manhu Liang, it’s quite expensive, right?”

“Is it worth your life?”

For a moment, I felt a tingling pain that pierced my entire body.

Gumuak took a breath and looked away.

Cold sweat ran down his forehead.

‘It’s not a joke?’

The Mangeum Sangdan were those who were in a position where they could not be tampered with.

There are rumors that even the imperial family is very special when it comes to dealing with the Mangeum Sangdan, and even information about the owner of the Mangeum Sangdan, Man Hou Liang?

Moreover….

‘What is the red-haired man?’

He didn’t even say who he was or what his name was, but just said he had red hair.

In the first place, it was questionable whether there was even a person with such strange hair in the midfield.

Gumuak, whose head was a mess, swallowed a groan.

I couldn’t even guess what on earth this person was trying to do with that information.

“Again, think of it as the price of your life.”

After saying those words, Dan Woo-hyeon stood up.

I walked away without even listening to the answer.

The figure that showed its back had many loopholes, as if it could be killed if it attacked.

Hana Gumuak shook his head.

The moment you rush in, you will be the one whose head falls off.

As I sighed loudly, the voice of Dan Woo-hyeon, who had disappeared before my eyes, rang in my ears.

-Well thought out.

I got goosebumps all over my body.

* * *

“Huh huh… those crazy bastards!”

After leaving Cheonsan Mountain, Jang Sam-tae and Majang Kang leaned against a tree, out of breath. I’m going crazy because I haven’t eaten or slept in days.

The pursuing corps of the Demonic Cult was rapidly narrowing the siege net as if they were not going to miss them.

Both of them had wounds all over their bodies and their appearance was so miserable that

they were devastated.

Jang Sam-tae was grateful for his quick feet.

Without this, I would have died dozens of times more.

“It’s going to turn, really! How long are you going to chase me?”

“I do not know either. Is it better than that? “I think you lost some blood?”

“Can you do it?”

As I said, it was not the time to worry about others.

Jang Sam-tae, who was of a lower level than Majang-gang, had fewer injuries than him because he mainly ran away, but Majang-gang, who faced the attackers from the front, was not surprised if he fell at any time.

Although he is said to be one of the top 100 martial arts masters, it was not at all easy to deal with dozens of them, each of whom had skills that were at the top level.

“If you go a little further, there is a waterway. “If you ride it and move, you will be able to outrun it.”

“Damn it! I will never die! Even if I die, I will die next to Somi, damn it!”

Jang Sam-tae clenched his fists.

I didn’t muster up all my strength to run away to die in a place like this.

Slurp-!

At that time, I suddenly heard the sound of something passing by.

The two people suddenly lowered themselves and closed their mouths.

It seemed like the pursuers had already followed close by.

Jang Sam-tae took a deep breath and looked at the Majang River.

I could see the strength fading from his eyes as he was panting heavily.

It was so extreme that it would actually be difficult to even keep your eyes open.

Jang Sam-tae took out a dagger from his pocket.

‘Think carefully! ‘If you just use what you’ve learned so far, you can survive!’

What taught him were Dan Woo-hyeon, Nam Gung-cheon, and Sadohak. It was a martial art taught by people called Cheon Oecheon, so dying in vain in a place like this would be like putting a stain on their faces.

“Do you see any traces?”

“It got cut off on this side

…”

A voice came from somewhere nearby.

The figure seen through the bushes was undoubtedly a demonic cult.

They were just looking around for signs of someone they didn’t expect was lurking around them.

Their hope was that they wouldn’t bump into each other, but looking at their movement path, they would definitely come to where they were.

Moreover, if a fight broke out when Majang River was in bad condition, it would be the same as killing him.

‘Damn it! ‘Why do I have to go through this?’

He grunted and twirled the dagger in his hand.

You must never miss it.

Catch it right away.

The tension doubled over him as he had to deal with two guys at once.

Sigh—!

With the sound of the bushes splitting again and the sound of their voices getting closer, Jang Sam-tae jumped.

Suddenly!
