Chapter Index

    Lee So-ok raised incense.

    A dignified appearance befitting the damsel of a prestigious family.

    Namgung Hwa-ran, who was waiting behind him, smiled.

    “What did you wish for?”

    “Of course, it’s not like the family is safe.”

    Lee So-ok also had a faint smile on her face.

    “Who are you?”

    “I hope everything you do goes well.”

    “It will definitely happen.”

    It was a perfectly normal question and answer, but something crucial was intentionally left out of Namgung Hwaran’s words.

    -I wish you success in everything you do.

    Namgung Hwaran was praying like that the entire time she was burning incense.

    It’s not something that someone ordered.

    Her mind was reshaped like that.

    But on the outside, no one noticed.

    “Then, let’s stop the descent.”

    “Yes, mother.”

    The mother and daughter went down again from the Seokpa Shrine Tomb.

    How far did it go down like that?

    Suddenly, Lee So-ok’s eyes opened sharply again.

    -Blood count, stomach.

    -Yes, ma’am.

    Blood Beast Papa, who was following behind, stretched his finger into the air.

    A thread-like red energy momentarily flashed from the finger.

    Hyeolseomji (血閃指).

    It was the German-language technique of the Blood Sustaining Sect.

    In the past, it turned the heads of quite a few people into a mess.

    This time, the bloodshot was fired at a bird, not a human.

    pigeon.

    Sigh!

    The pigeon couldn’t even scream and fell to its death instantly.

    “Huh?”

    Namgung Hwaran looks back as if he felt something.

    However, there was only blue sky in the empty space where her gaze reached.

    Because the pigeon that had already fallen was snatched away by the bloodsucker in an instant.

    “Why are you doing that?”

    “No, I think it’s an illusion.”

    “It’s pointless.”

    Lee So-ok smiled.

    However, an electric sound was coming to her ears.

    -It’s not Jeon Seo-gu, ma’am.

    A report from Blood Suppam.

    Lee So-ok’s eyes became thinking.

    ‘Was it overthinking?’

    The incense burner sisters who had a bit of trouble earlier.

    I thought they might contact someone.

    But it wasn’t.

    Only then did Lee So-ok clear his doubts.

    “Let’s not worry about anything and just go down.”

    “Yes, mother.”

    So the mother and daughter started walking again.

    ***

    It wasn’t the sky.

    It was land.

    The Black Book, Haomun’s spiritual relic.

    The black book was going down the mountain faster than anyone else.

    towards someone.

    ***

    “Three. They say there are no other special signs.”

    Bang So-un said as he opened and read the letter that Heuk-seo asked.

    It was a letter sent by slaves at Seokpasinmyo.

    Muyeongbido and Galsahyeon.

    They dressed up their faces to look completely different from their usual faces and had them disguise themselves as incense burners at the Seokpa Shrine Tomb.

    I added one more number there.

    The shapeless Dan of strangeness.

    It was a special medicinal herb that could hide one’s energy.

    A drug that can help even a peak expert hide his energy like a normal person.

    In certain circumstances, it could be said to be a fraudulent drug.

    This is because you can spy on other people’s energy to your heart’s content without your own energy being discovered.

    “Hehe, that’s good. Don’t you think it would be okay to hold a major ceremony today?”

    Jang Il laughed.

    If the only bodyguard was that old man named Gojukpapa, it would have been fine.

    How great would that old man be?

    “It is prohibited to make hasty calls. Cross-validation is necessary.”

    However, Bang Xiaoyun still maintained caution.

    There is a possibility that Muyeongbido and Galsahyeon may have missed something.

    “Haha, I understand, young master. What you said is probably right.”

    Jang Il nodded his head loudly.

    He clearly understood what Bang So-un said.

    “But you have to prepare.”

    Bang Soun put something in Heukseo’s mouth.

    The black book quickly ran back towards the mountain.

    “Let’s go too.”

    “Yes, master.”

    their steps.

    The steps were heading towards Jangsaengru.

    ***

    Jangsaengru.

    As it is a high-class restaurant, there were no customers who seemed of low quality.

    Everyone ordered expensive tea and was chatting quietly while drinking tea in a quiet atmosphere.

    Among them, of course, were Bang So-un, Jang Il, and Yeon Su-rin.

    At one window, he was sipping tea, pretending to be an ordinary customer.

    How much time has passed like that?

    -coming.

    An electric sound rang in Bang So-un’s ears.

    It was the sound of Yeonsu-rin.

    Bang So-un adjusted his posture and sat down.

    “Haha, I think the taste of tea on Chuseok is very special, sister.”

    He was speaking like an ordinary customer.

    “I think so too, little brother.”

    Yeon Su-rin smiled.

    A relationship that was the opposite of usual.

    But in people’s eyes, this was right.

    No matter how incredibly beautiful she is, Yeon Soo-rin, a married woman with a child, is in her 30s and still has no way of looking like Bang So-un’s younger sister.

    While we were having a friendly conversation, a new guest came into Jangsaengru.

    Two village women and an old woman.

    Of course, it was Namgung Hwa’s group.

    They were guided to an empty seat.

    Coincidentally, it was a location that was clearly visible from the seats of Bang So-un and his group.

    ‘You’re lucky.’

    Thinking like that, Bang So-yun decided to wait.

    Until Yeon Su-rin figures out something.

    But at that moment.

    ‘hmm?’

    An eerie feeling came over Bang So-un, and he barely managed to hide his shaken expression.

    Is the “ shape okay?”

    A performance that put all my effort into it.

    But my mind was spinning in a complicated way.

    ‘What was that just now? no way?’

    It feels like a sharp gaze is piercing me.

    It’s not an illusion.

    Bang So-un trusted his intuition more than anything else.

    A sensation that is somewhat different from that of a martial arts expert, as if felt directly in one’s head.

    That feeling was conveying.

    A feeling of something unusual.

    And that feeling was clearly felt by Namgung Hwa and his group.

    It’s probably that suspicious old man called Gojukpapa.

    “Of course you’re fine, brother-in-law.”

    Jang Il, disguised as Ja-hyung, answered.

    “I’m glad. I heard there is a lot of work these days.”

    “Hehe, this guy is born with physical strength.”

    “Haha, that’s right.”

    Natural conversation.

    But in the meantime, Bang So-yun wrote some words on the table with his finger for just a moment.

    Caution.

    Bang So-un’s delivery method is not enough to spread the whole sound.

    Jang Il and Yeon Su-rin clearly confirmed this.

    -All right.

    -Yes, brother.

    The electric sounds came almost one after another.

    Still, something didn’t happen.

    It means that the other person did not properly notice something.

    It may have just been a habitual boundary.

    ‘They say that as you get older, you become more suspicious.’

    Bang Soun’s guard relaxed a little.

    There was no problem unless I noticed something.

    Meanwhile, it seemed that Yeon Su-rin had finished scouting.

    -There is nothing that feels different other than the three people.

    The same report as the slaves at Seokpasinmyo.

    Bang Soun confirmed one more thing.

    “My grandmother is looking for my sister a lot these days.”

    Grandmother.

    The word was the promised word.

    Gojukpapa is the one to be most wary of.

    It meant her.

    “Is that so? I guess I’ll have to visit you soon.”

    -The exact inaction cannot be guessed. It seems like he’s hiding his energy.

    Yeon Su-rin delivered a different answer through her voice.

    “That’s good news.”

    Bang So-un was lost in thought as he roughly answered with his mouth.

    ‘That’s right.’

    As expected, it is the same report as the slaves of Seokpashinmyo.

    The method of hiding one’s energy was not limited to a mysterious special drug.

    That is especially effective, but there were quite a few other methods.

    There were martial artists who specialized in hiding energy, other drugs, and even techniques to completely seal the dantian.

    It takes a huge toll on the body, so the only people who really use the last method are the martial arts criminals who must hide their identities.

    Anyway, I had a rough guess.

    Still, I had to check one last time.

    ‘We have to make them show off their martial arts skills.’

    Even if you hide your energy completely, it will inevitably be revealed the moment you use martial arts.

    This means that it cannot help but be accurately understood at that moment.

    There was a plan prepared for that.

    ‘Heh, it’s just about preparing horses for disposable use.’

    The preparations that Bang So-woon asked Jang-il to do.

    That was the preparation for this.

    The material prepared was a third-rate female warrior, who in martial arts was no different from a grain of sand on the floor.

    Even if they are third-rate, they can easily suppress a lowly street scum.

    Location.

    Bang So-un’s hands quickly wrote the letters.

    Jang Il saw it clearly.

    -yes.

    Jang Il answered in full voice.

    Then he sent a message outside.

    To tell the exact location of the target to the puppet I made a few days ago.

    Now all you have to do is wait.

    May the disposable puppet horse snatch one of the vagabonds of the street.

    Slurp.

    Bang So-un leisurely drinking tea.

    How long has it been like that?

    Suddenly, an angry cry was heard from outside.

    “This damn bastard? You groped my ass with your hand, you son of a bitch!”

    “What nonsense! Catching a live person, bitch?”

    “This son of a bitch until the end?”

    The sound of arguing.

    And soon.

    “Huh?! Uhhhh?!”

    Kujak!

    “Ugh!”

    A man the size of a horse flew through the air, screaming.

    They had already smashed the window of Jangsaengru and were coming inside.

    A struggling body.

    However, the body fell uncontrollably onto the table where Lee So-ok was.

    And exactly in the direction where Lee So-ok is.

    ‘Hmph, there’s no guard who won’t step in when his master is injured.’

    An order was given in advance to Namgung Hwaran not to use his hands.

    In the end, the only ones who can move are me and that old man.

    However, Lee So-ok has no martial arts skills.

    It means that that suspicious old man has no choice but to use his hands.

    ‘Show me your finances quickly, old man.’

    Bang Soun smiled inwardly.
