*** ***

What happened in the Black Forest Islands spread throughout the world.

The Beast King left a warning to the unscrupulous that martial arts is a place ruled by the strong and that they should never forget that they are in martial arts.

Rumor has it that he wiped out the scoundrels of Gumo Seol and the Black Forest Islands with thunder and lightning, and Ho Cheon-an’s Byeol-ho was transformed from the Beast King to the Thunder Master.

This is because the people of the world were desperately hoping for the existence of an absolute leader who would wipe out the remnants of the blood religion that believed in blood monsters and spirits and committed all kinds of cruelty.

Many people hoped that the Thunder Myeong Venerable would bring peace to this martial forest, but not everyone in the world had all their hopes on the Thunder Myeong Venerable.

Quite a few people predicted that the Brain Master would soon become the second Blood Zone.

As if handling multiple spiritual creatures wasn’t enough, now that he has wiped out the blood monsters and even defeated the master of Hyeongyeong, who can stop him if he reveals his ambition to rule the world?

however.

Since then, Venerable Brainy’s actions have turned many pessimists into dumbasses. From Shandong to Hebei and Liaoning. Venerable Thunder Myeong only moved forward silently cleaning up the remnants of the blood religion and did not make any moves to rule the world.

So little by little.

The name of Brain Myeongjonja was becoming the hope of martial arts.

*** ***

A mountain path in the world.

Ho Cheon-an was riding on wandering spirits and heading towards Shanxi.

Miho, who was running faster than a horse, must have been bored with the slow journey, which was like a walk, and kept yawning as she walked, and Seogong fell asleep in Ho Cheonan’s arms.

Ho Cheon-an recalled his past trip while stroking the back of Seo-gong, who was sleeping lazily in his arms.

Seo Yi-ryeong and Cho Yong-sang. And after breaking up with Nam Gung-bin, Ho Cheon-an moved north and went to Shandong. Hebei. And as they went through Cheonjin, they recovered the remnants’ relics and gave eternal rest to the blood monsters.

There are three spiritual objects recovered.

The bat spirit recovered from Shandong chose to be independent rather than join Ho Tian-an on his journey. Even if it were a spirit creature, it would not have been easy to continuously endure light during the day.

Therefore, there were two spirit creatures that joined the journey.

Quirk.

A wild boar named Hwajeo.

Bleep-

It was a falcon spirit creature named Cheoneung.

Ho Cheon-an raised his head and saw that Cheon-eung was flying well, and then yawned out of fatigue.

This was because I quite liked the riding experience of the newly joined Hwajeo.

There was no need to mention Seogong, who had become smaller, or Hwangdan, who was digging in the ground. Seokwoong was uncomfortable because his back moved back and forth and left and right when he moved. Miho’s gait itself was stable, but when Hocheonan was picked up, she got excited and did not stop jumping, which is a fox’s signature behavior, so this is out of the question.

The riding comfort of Mukgeum was not bad, but it was difficult to see ahead due to the horns, which were reminiscent of lush trees.

On the other hand, Hwajeo was large, so the view wasn’t bad, and its movements were smooth compared to its size, so riding on its back felt stable.

Constant movement on a leisurely journey. To overcome fatigue, Ho Cheon-an checked the travel route in his head.

We may not know about the blood monsters wandering the world, but the journey to clear out the remnants of the blood religion that has its home base is just around the corner.

Seoksanhyeolgyo in Shaanxi. And the Mosan Hyeolgyo in Xi’an, which was the real headquarters of the Hyeolgyo.

‘If we just clean up these two places, the Murim Alliance will be able to resolve the remaining clot.’

Ho Cheon-an thought of Seo Yi-ryeong and Jo Yong-sang. Jo Yong-sang has now become a Hyeon-gyeong, and Seo Yi-ryeong will also be able to become a Hyeon-gyeong if he fully understands the principles revealed in the horn of Mukgeum. With those two people, the remnants of the blood religion remaining in the world will be dealt with well.

Squeak?

While Ho Cheon-an was thinking this in his head, Seo-gong stood up awkwardly. Ho Cheon-an patted Seogong’s head and muttered.

“Yes. Looks like a guest has arrived.”

A voice containing inner strength rang in the ears of those hiding in the grass. Soon, three people jumped out of the bushes and fell flat on their faces.

“Brain, meet the Brain Master!”

I’m sorry for disturbing “’s path!”

“Hehe, it’s okay.”

Ho Cheon-an spoke calmly, but the people hiding in the grass could not relax at all. A fox that looks as if its upper body will disappear if it opens its mouth wide and takes a bite. A huge bear that looks like it can cut a human in two with just one claw. Who can relax when there is a wild boar in front of them that looks like it will destroy a village when it gets angry?

“ too, please help! Elderly man!”

“A group of blood cultists from a nearby village are staying!”

The three people swallowed dry saliva and watched Hocheonan’s reaction.

I had already heard rumors that the Thunder Myeong Venerable was eradicating the hordes of blood sects, but I was not sure to which village in the countryside the Thunder Myeong Venerable, who was an expert on the world and wielded numerous spiritual powers, would extend his helping hand.

However, despite the tension between the three people, Ho Cheon-an calmly nodded.

In areas where there were no blood religions with spiritual entities, remnants with blood clots were bound to run rampant, but Hocheonan had no choice.

I might have accidentally sensed the presence of a blood group while moving, but I couldn’t figure out the remnants of the blood cult that had deliberately lurked.

However, things changed when Cheon-eung caught up with him on his trip.

Those who witnessed Cheon-eung realized that the rumored Thunder Master was passing nearby and began to come to ask for help.

That was why Hocheonan slowed down his travel.

If he maintains his previous speed, which is faster than the speed at which a horse runs, not even a decent number of warriors, let alone a criminal, will be able to chase Ho Cheon-an.

“Let’s go.”

*** ***

The three people who came to Hocheonan swallowed their dry saliva.

It only took a very short time for Hocheonan to dispose of the remnants of the vicious blood religion that had occupied the village.

It was a time that included dozens of warriors and a blood monster that had broken wooden fences like corn and chewed swords and swords like snacks and quietly fell to the floor.

“Thank you! Elderly man!”

“Are there any remnants of the blood cult remaining nearby?”

“It was all the guys here!”

The village people continued to bend their backs. Ho Cheon-an, who felt burdened by the gaze that looked up to him as if he were a god, spoke with his black lips pressed down.

“Then I guess I’ll just leave. Are there any other problems?”

“Yes? But…let’s go and eat at least one meal. We will raise your upper leg so that it breaks!”

“I will only accept it with gratitude. If there is no problem with money, I would like to leave.”

As the villagers looked at each other and did not speak, Ho Cheon-an, who decided that there was no problem, nodded and walked away.

It was that time.

“Um, hey…do you know the nicknames Banwoldo or Whale Sword?”

Ho Cheon-an’s feet stopped abruptly at the villager’s question.

“…What did you say just now?”

The young man’s face turned white as he spoke to Ho Cheon-an’s violent reaction.

“Sin, sorry! It is said that the elders of the village are familiar with the old man of the Brain Master…! I said I would know for sure if I said my nickname… but I made a mistake!”

“Where are they now?”

“Ah, I will guide you.”

Ho Cheon-an’s heart was beating violently as he walked behind the frightened young man.

Hocheonan was unable to prevent the conflict between the Sichuan faction and the Yunnan faction, and the Sichuan factions that invaded Sichuan province tried to secure the Sichuan people, who were the basis of the cause put forward by the Sadō Alliance.

In order to avoid being captured by the Four Sects of the Sadōryun, the Sichuan Rangin threw away even the Black Lip and truly hid in the darkness, so Hocheonan also had no way of knowing whether they were alive or dead.

‘Was he alive…!’

The young man guided Ho Cheon-an to two houses connected by a single wall, and Ho Cheon-an held his breath as he looked at them in surprise. Although they were seeing each other for the first time, the faces of Jeong-sam and Yeo Jin-sang were melted into their faces.

“Where are the elderly?”

“Ma, you are basking in the sun in the yard.”

At those words, Ho Cheon-an could not wait for guidance from the homeowners and walked into the yard. Ho Cheon-an’s face distorted as he looked at the faces of the two people sitting in the rocking chairs placed side by side.

“It was alive, it was there.”

“You bastard, then did you think we would die?”

“It’s still a hundred years too early to die. You bastard!”

Banwoldo Jeongsam.

Whale Sword Yeo Jin-sang.

The two white-haired people greeted Ho Cheon-an with smiles.

*** ***

“Look. Sons and daughters and grandchildren!”

“I raised my children better than that guy!”

Ho Cheon-an realized that the time had passed in an instant. Because Jeongsam and Yeo Jinsang’s sons and daughters were already grown and raising children. Ho Cheon-an smiled happily as he looked at the children who couldn’t stand the bird and ran around, and then the children who hid behind their parents’ legs.

The child hiding behind the door looking in this direction must be one of Jeong-sam and Yeo Jin-sang’s grandchildren.

“They all look just like you.”

“Hehehe! yes? They are all handsome and handsome just like me!”

These guys are still the same. Thinking like that, Ho Cheon-an laughed. I kept laughing, wondering why they were so happy to welcome me as I was before.

After biting the person, the three filled their glasses.

“Kia. Yes, after defeating Jeong-cheol, there was no news as to whether he was dead or alive. Did he do something to become the best expert in the world?”

“Well, what you’re doing is obvious.”

Ho Cheon-an smiled bitterly at the two people’s beatings.

“You know what I’m up to. How have you guys been doing?”

“It’s an obvious story. I just escaped from Sichuan Province before all the chaos broke out, took off my black lip, and became just a ronin. But why was Sacheon so brutal? The wandering warriors couldn’t snoop around to earn a living, so they headed to Shaanxi.”

“But suddenly, starting from Shaanxi, the blood religion began to gain power? I heard a rumor that they were capturing people and turning them into monsters, and I heard that there were house-sized spirits stalking the martial arts sects, so I felt like I had to run away. So, all the way to Shanxi, I ended up stuck in this mountainous valley.”

“…I see.”

It was a simple summary, but Ho Cheon-an could guess the hardships the two people were going through. There must have been many twists and turns in the process of escaping from Sacheon to avoid being pursued by the Sadyoryun, the process of hiding his identity and settling down in Shaanxi, and the process of abandoning his home in Shaanxi, which he had worked hard to establish, to avoid the blood religion, and settling here.

Jeongsam and Yeo Jinsang looked at Hocheonan’s eyes filled with confusion and burst into laughter.

“Why are you looking at me like that? You have the worst life here, child!”

“What?”

“Tsk tsk. Looking at that wretched brat, I guess she couldn’t even get married, let alone have children. What will I do if I expose my name to the whole martial arts world? I became an old man as an old bachelor!”

Quick.

In fact, a thick tendon popped out from Ho Cheon-an’s forehead due to the timely attack.

“…These rotten bastards? What can children who will die of old age today or tomorrow say about a topic that is still at its peak?”

“At that age, isn’t he just an old man wandering around without a home? a little! Live knowing you’re embarrassed!”

“I’m the guy! uh? He is a master of thunder!”

“vs. brain. number of people. zone. Now.”

“Wow. zone. me. radish. seop. Everything!”

these guys

Squeak.

Xu Gong, who was lying down at the feet of Hu Tian-an, raised his head and looked at Hu Tian-an. There were veins on his forehead and his face was red. For some reason, it felt to Seo Gong that Ho Cheon-an was happy.

In that case, you should just enjoy it.

Seogong thought so and buried his head again.

*** ***

Ho Cheon-an decided to stay at the couple’s house for a few days.

“Hey Mr. Jang! What did you say when you said you were friends with Brain Master?”

“Sin, sorry! Elderly man!”

“We do it! Eat and drink with Brain Master! And drink! Don’t even ask for it! Done! ”

And I immediately regretted it.

This was because the two men went around giving advice to villagers who did not believe them under the pretext of giving them a tour of the village.

Ho Cheon-an was even more embarrassed by the shameful appearance of his classmates no matter where and when he showed them.

“Hahaha! I feel so refreshed!”

“You should have seen it too! When I told them that I would never pass by this village because I am friends with them during the blood cult countermeasures meeting, they just looked at us like we were crazy?”

“….sigh.”

Ho Tian-an just shook his head. The two people who were giggling at that sight soon took a deep breath. Ho Cheon-an smiled bitterly at that sight. Although the level was low, the two people, who were strong warriors, could not overcome the passage of time and felt that they had become exhausted just by walking around the neighborhood.

Wow!!

Squeak!

Doo-dah-dada!

As the three people were catching their breath, the children and Seogong came running into the yard all together. The children rushed to catch Seogong’s tail, and Seogong toyed with the children by moving his tail here and there and moving his body all over the place.

“Seeing! Catch it!”

“Evil! Too fast!”

The children tried to catch Seogong’s tail by flying up to their bodies, but Seogong would never allow his tail. In the end, all the children fell into the yard, and Seogong, who was watching, raised his face toward the sky, expressed victory, and ran away again.

The children, who were highly intoxicated, jumped up and followed suit.

Jeongsam smiled at that sight.

“This little guy is such a mean thing.”

“Even if they are that small, they will easily beat you guys.”

“Good. This guy.”

Ho Cheon-an, who was having a meaningless conversation, found a child hiding behind a wall watching the child chasing Seogong. Did he notice Ho Cheon-an’s gaze? The child who was hiding behind the wall quickly hid himself.

“Who is that girl?”

“Ah…this is a child who is under our care for a while.”

“How are you?”

“Isn’t this a world like this.”

Is this a child with a story? Ho Cheon-an just nodded. Since the world was in such chaos, it was not surprising that there were children separated from their parents.

“You are doing good things and making a living.”

“It may seem funny to you, but even if you become a climax expert, it’s worth living for! I’m just helping because I can afford it.”

Ho Cheon-an looked at the two embarrassed people and laughed.

Meanwhile, Seogong, who had left all the children behind, returned with his head held high. Ho Cheon-an looked at Seo-gong sitting next to him and smiled and patted his head.

It was then.

The child who had been hiding earlier stuck his head out. The child, who was looking at Seo-gong with his head stiffly raised, approached hesitantly, as if he barely had the courage to do so.

Ho Cheon-an noticed and stepped back to make it easier for the approaching child to touch Seo-gong.

Perhaps encouraged by Hocheonan’s actions, the child approached Seogong and slowly stretched out his hand. The hand stopped just a little away from Seo Gong.

“Tail, tail…I want to touch it.”

Snap!

Now a person who knows manners has finally appeared!

Seogong nodded haughtily and placed the tail on the child’s hand. As soon as the tail was in his hand, the child’s face brightened.

“Hehe, in the end, Navin succeeded in being the first in our family to touch a spirit object.”

“Yes. How did you think like that?”

Navin blushed and responded to the outpouring of praise.

“Well, I just…looked smart, so I thought they would listen if I asked…”

“That’s great.”

Ho Cheon-an also smiled and praised Navin before holding his hand. The way he kept fiddling with his tail without taking his eyes off his soft fur was because he was prepared to just play with his tail all day if left like this.

“Wow!”

As soon as his hand touched the soft fur, Naveen’s face lit up with happiness.

“Oh! Navin is touching a spirit!”

“Me too! I want to touch you too!”

“You can’t do that! I have to ask for it!”

The children who stopped at Navin’s words soon asked Seogong one by one, and Seogong did not discriminate among the children, nodding his head and allowing them to touch their bodies.

Seo-gong is surrounded by countless children and turns into glutinous rice cake, and Jeong-sam and Yeo Jin-sang look at Seo-gong and the children. And the children’s parents burst out laughing.

Ho Cheon-an’s face, hidden behind black lips, was frozen and just looked at Navin.

*** ***

After lunch, Jeongsam, who was drinking grain tea instead of alcohol, hit Hocheonan.

“Hey you guy, did you chew poop while eating? Your expression from earlier didn’t make any sense.”

“Why are you doing that? Talk to me!”

Ho Cheon-an hesitated for a moment in response to the two quick-witted people and then opened his mouth.

“That kid named Naveen.”

“What.”

“I just held your hand for a moment, but I thought it was a desperate situation.”

Jeong Sam and Yeo Jin Sang. The two people’s eyes met and they soon sighed.

“You said I was a child with a story earlier, right? In fact, Naveen was wandering around with his mother. Then, by chance, they reached this village, and Naveen’s mother died, unable to control her weakened body.”

“Such…”

“After that, we kept him at our house, but even though we fed him well, he was very weak. I thought it was just a family history. Yeah…I’m not surprised if Navin has arrhythmia.”

Was he a child who had lost his parents? It was when Ho Cheon-an sighed as he remembered Navin’s face.

“Are you planning on having that child?”

“What?”

“You should take on at least some disciples now.”

A completely unexpected proposal came in.
