Chapter Index

    *** ***

    After the Battle of Mosan, the martial arts world became peaceful after defeating the remnants of the blood religion.

    A rumor suddenly began to circulate in the martial arts world. The rumor was about the origin of Geum Myeong-wol, one of the heroes of the martial arts world and a member of the group of Noegeomnangin.

    Shanxi claimed that Jin Myeong-yue was from Shanxi.

    Hubei also claimed that Jin Myeong-wol was a Hubei citizen.

    This was not just limited to Shanxi or Hubei.

    Nationwide!

    In fact, people all over the country began to claim that Geum Myeong-wol was a shaman from their region.

    The rumors floating around everywhere were truly diverse. He was the successor to a one-man sect located on a mountain. He was a self-taught practitioner who practiced martial arts. There are rumors that he met Giyeon in a cave and inherited the legendary swordsman’s swordsmanship.

    There was so little known about Geum Myeong-wol that nothing was certain, but the rumors presented by various places as evidence that Geum Myeong-wol was from this region had their own assortment, so it was truly confusing.

    And even though the situation was so confusing, people from all over the world did not waver in their claim that Geum Myeong-wol was from their region.

    The rumors going around all over the place had enough reality, and we had already believed them and accepted Geummyeong as a person from the neighborhood. At best, the rumors were just a bit too valuable, so how could we doubt the pride of the region, ‘our’ Geummyeongwol Daehyup? There is!

    The argument in each region, which was thought to have already been taken down, to catch the last train as the region that produced the martial arts hero, continued to intensify and did not subside at all, so the world’s attention was focused on one place.

    It was the whereabouts of Geum Myeong-wol, who could solve all questions.

    But unfortunately, Noegeomnangin and his companions had completely disappeared since the tour of Dongdong Lake. The people of the world, who had been searching for Geum Myeong-wol’s whereabouts in every possible way, had no choice but to look for others, feeling like they were taking chickens instead of pheasants.

    These people are visited by the world.

    They were the warriors of the Murim League who had been with Noegeomnangin, even if only for a short time.

    Those who were thirsty for information about Geummyeongwol captured the local warriors who belonged to the Murim League and bombarded them with questions, but they were unable to give proper answers.

    I didn’t know much about Geummyeongwol to begin with, and even if I knew something, I couldn’t open my mouth.

    Forcing the identity of the eunja in the martial arts world to be revealed is a dangerous task that could lead to resentment. Who could open his mouth without knowing how far the ripple effect of a single word would spread while the martial arts community was in a state of excitement over Geum Myeong-wol’s origins?

    As the curiosity about Geummyeongwol and the frustration of the people due to the lack of information were building up, a rumor spread throughout the world.

    Mo Yong Seo’s Mo Yong Seo mentioned Geummyeongwol!

    “I also do not know the identity of Geum Myeong-wol Daehyup. However, since the level of martial arts can be clearly stated, Geummyeongwol Daehyup is clearly an expert who is not inferior to Noegeomnangin at all.”

    Martial arts skills on par with those of Noegeomnangin!

    There were endless rumors about his whereabouts, but regardless of the gossip, Noegeomnangin was a warrior who would leave a lasting mark in the history of Murimsa.

    A martial artist who reached the state of hwagyeong in his twenties.

    His status became ambiguous to say he was from the bottom of a ronin, and in the end, his connection with the Heavenly Demon Church was too obvious to say he pioneered the realm of martial arts on his own, but whatever!

    His martial arts skills are on the same level as that of Noegeomnangin, who single-handedly smashed the Gyeongsumun of Akyang, which possessed many transcendental masters along with the Hwagyeong masters, and proved to the world that he was a true Hwagyeong expert and not just a patterned Hwagyeong master!

    Mo Yong-seo’s remarks literally spread all over the place, and the entire martial arts world was excited.

    It was not a rumor that was inaccurate at all, but a remark from someone with public trust, and that remark was enough to raise expectations for Geum Myeong-wol.

    Apart from that, people in the world realized one thing.

    In order to obtain information about Geummyeongwol, it was necessary to contact people who were close to the real Oxwol.

    Those who are more familiar with Geum Myeong-wol than Moyong-mo may share information about Geum Myeong-wol!

    The place where the eyes of the world and the martial arts people, who were thirsty for clues that could lead to uncovering the identity of Geum Myeong-wol, a mystery that had not been properly revealed, would be directed was determined.

    Socheonma Wi Seo-ryeon is said to have a close personal relationship with Noegeomnangin and his companions!

    And Dang Do-yeon and Dang So-yeol, who have been riding the Bicheon carriage with Noegeomnangin and Geum Myeongwol for a long time!

    After playing to its heart’s content with the Tang clan, the Bicheon carriage travels around the world at the request of Wei Seo-ryeon and the Murim Maeng.

    Since both had sufficient conditions for public access, people literally gathered like clouds at the gambling house that Wei Seo-ryeon visited and the place where the raincoat stopped.

    “I want to hear the story about Geummyeongwol Daehyup!”

    “Please say something!”

    And the two people who had already received Ho Cheon-an’s letter were fully prepared to welcome the world.

    It was quite an unfortunate story for people in the world.

    *** ***

    Myeongjeongru is a tower in Shaanxi and is famous for hosting large-scale gambling events.

    Because it was a famous tower in Shaanxi, it was always a place where quite a few people came and went, but today, Myeongjeongru was so crowded that it could not even be compared to peacetime.

    They were all gathered together to meet one person.

    “You were the ones who came here because they wanted to hear the story about Geummyeongwol.”

    Wei Seo-ryeon made Myeongjeongru quiet with just the presence of the Black Dragon and the Heavenly Demon wrapped around her body.

    “However, the real woman’s story is expensive. Only those who win against me deserve to hear the story.”

    Wei Seo-ryeon looked at the people trembling in the black dragon flag and stretched out one index finger.

    “I don’t plan on getting along with everyone, so I’ll put a chestnut on the forehead of whoever loses.”

    The faces of those in the gambling hall turned pale due to Wei Seo-ryeon’s threats.

    Cheonma’s night!

    How scary is this that a super expert who can defeat people just by using his energy would hit them on the head himself!

    It was literally like telling them to risk their lives to obtain information.

    “Okay, is there a challenger?”

    At the question asked by Wi Seo-ryeon, who was leisurely leaning on a chair while occupying one of the gambling tables, an even more terrible silence filled the already quiet Myeongjeongru.

    Although they were willing to travel a long way to come to Myeongjeongru to get information about Geummyeongwol from Wei Seoryeon, they were not prepared to gamble with their lives.

    For a long time, everyone just kept an eye on Wei Seo-ryeon.

    The first challenger appeared, breaking the silent crowd.

    “Ho, dear, what is your name?”

    “Sa, it’s called Samgwang.”

    “Good. Samkwang. I will allow you to be my opponent.”

    Two people sitting across from each other at the gambling table.

    Samgwang calmed his mind by recalling the rumors about Wei Seo-ryeon that he had collected so far. The fact that Wi Seo-ryeon enjoys gambling is famous news that everyone in the central region knows. Of course, there were many rumors related to him, and after collecting and analyzing those rumors closely, we found that Wei Seo-ryeon was not a so-called hexagonal gambler where everything was stable.

    It may not be an easy opponent, but he was able to find enough gaps to exploit, so if he persistently dug into those areas, he could win at least one game.

    ‘This is definitely a gamble worth taking!’

    Samgwang portrayed himself as having defeated Wei Seo-ryeon and obtained information about Geum Myeong-wol.

    He will become so famous that there will be no one in the world who does not know the name Samgwang. Thinking back on that sweet reward, Samgwang shook off the pressure from the Black Dragon and Wei Seolyeon and strengthened his eyes.

    “I will challenge you with a goal card!”

    Samgwang took on the challenge with the ambition to make his name known throughout the world. The match between Samgwang and Wi Seo-ryeon could be summed up in one word from Wi Seo-ryeon.

    “It’s boring.”

    A truly overwhelming defeat!

    “This can’t be happening….”

    Samgwang looked in despair at his stake, which had been transferred to Wi Seo-ryeon’s property without leaving a single penny.

    Wei Seo-ryeon’s gambling skills are completely different from the rumors!

    The gambling skills of Wei Seo-ryeon before visiting the Tang family and Wei Seo-ryeon leaving the Tang family and starting to travel around the world are truly worlds apart. However, the challenger who attempted to analyze Wei Xiorian’s strength based only on rumors prior to his visit to the party was, of course, bound to lose miserably.

    “Ah…”

    Samgwang, who was completely unaware of this fact, could only let out an exclamation of fear as he saw the thin fingers approaching.

    Sigh!

    The challenger’s ambition to make a name for himself as a martial artist by defeating Socheonma Wi Seo-ryeon through gambling and revealing the identity of Geum Myeong-wol, the center of attention and mystery, sank with the night.

    The crowd, who watched the two men’s match with bated breath, had no choice but to sigh.

    This was because it was clearly revealed that obtaining information from Wei Seo-ryeon through a gambling match was not an easy task.

    ‘This place is dirty…’

    ‘I can only hope that those who chased the raincoat will get information about Geummyeongwol…’

    The crowd at Myeongjeongru gave up on getting information from Wei Seolyeon and expected information from Geummyeongwol to come from Bicheonmacha.

    The situation was not so good for the person who went to Bicheon Carriage.

    *** ***

    While Wi Seo-ryeon was physically defeating numerous gambling challengers, the crowds that flocked toward Bicheonmacha, not Wi Seo-ryeon, were also having a hard time.

    Doo doo doo doo!!!

    The mobility of the raincoat is at a level where there is no need to talk about it.

    Catching up with a raincoat moving faster than the mouth that could spread the news of the raincoat was a task in itself.

    Those who had worked hard to catch up or overtake the Bicheon carriage flocked to the Bicheon carriage, and the first thing they could meet was Tang Do-gyeong.

    Tang Do-gyeong, who completely lost his fighting spirit and became a good-natured young man, treated people from all over the world kindly with a smiling face, but unfortunately, he was not the person who gave them the answers they wanted.

    “Sorry. Dear Dongdo people, I also don’t know anything about Geum Myeong-wol Sojeo.”

    Since Tang Tao-gyeong, who was relatively easy to deal with, could not give an answer, people had no choice but to approach the martial arts heroes Tang Do-yeon and Tang So-yeol.

    “Dang Soyeol Sojeo, I want to ask…”

    “Let’s go.”

    “No, I haven’t even said anything yet…”

    “Fuck off.”

    How can the crooked party spirit in the world deal properly with the crowd? Because his martial arts level is low, he cannot draw a real sword, and yet there is no one who can demand treatment based on the party’s fire, distribution, and reputation for preventing the rebellion of the blood religion.

    So the crowd had no choice but to rush towards Dang Do-yeon, who was on the raincoat, crying and eating mustard.

    “Please say something!”

    “Hahahaha! Of course! How about getting on a raincoat and having a chat!”

    Dang Do-yeon says you have to get on the raincoat to start talking!

    “Good!”

    Those who were curious about the news about Geummyeongwol were excited and got on the carriage. In the end, what was the reason why they ran day and night after the raincoat? Part of the reason was that I was curious about Geum Myeong-wol’s identity, but more than that, I wanted to get my hands on the epic story of obtaining information about Geum Myeong-wol directly.

    But not only can you find out the identity of Geum Myeong-wol, but you can also ride the Bicheon Carriage, the fastest carriage in the world and a weapon that played a remarkable role during the War of Blood Religion?

    The story of the saga was literally doubled, so the crowd raced to get on the horse-drawn carriage.

    Bicheonmacha was literally full in the blink of an eye!

    The crowd looked enviously at the passengers on the raincoat, and the passengers laughed and enjoyed their gazes.

    “Hey!”

    Doo doo doo doo doo!!!

    That is, until the Bicheonmacha showed explosive acceleration.

    “W-what…!”

    “Ugh! Dandoyeon Sojeo! Please slow down!”

    “Hahahaha! What are you talking about? Normally, a raincoat carriage runs at this speed!”

    The passengers’ complexions turned pale.

    Normal operation? What is this speed now?

    I was safe thanks to the carriage’s structure and seats that absorb shock to an unusual degree, but if I was riding in a regular carriage, I’ve already experienced enough kickbacks that would have broken my tailbone. Is this the norm?

    “Umm…this is a raincoat…”

    “What’s different about the best in the world…”

    The passengers felt a strong sense of crisis, but they forced themselves to act calm and bravado. This was because the gazes of others who had been envious of them riding the raincoat just moments ago were still lingering in their minds.

    Isn’t this a raincoat that others couldn’t ride even if they wanted to?

    Passengers wanted the experience of riding a raincoat to be special and fantastic. Only then will the saga of riding a raincoat become more valuable. Such a wish overcame fear and led to denial of reality.

    “By the way, Sojeo, now that the carriage has departed, can you hear the story about Geummyeongwol Daehyup?”

    “That’s right, I’m dying to know what region Geummyeongwol Daehyup is from.”

    Passengers quickly responded to the story someone brought up.

    “Hahaha, the Bicheon carriage is not just a fast carriage. It has many special features that other carriages do not have. Wouldn’t it be possible to say that you have ridden a raincoat only after experiencing those functions to some extent? The story progresses leisurely after that.”

    Other functions.

    Although the passengers felt unusually threatened just by the running of the raincoat, they tried to smile at the news of a special feature that increased the value of the saga.

    “Hoo! That’s right!”

    “Hahaha! These are special features unique to Bicheonmacha! I’m going to open my eyes today!”

    “That’s right! I’m really looking forward to it!”

    But their bravado did not last long.

    Doo doo doo doo doo!!!

    This was because the raincoat began to climb the hill at explosive speed. Passengers who had been trying to pretend to be calm and anxious and hoping that the speed would slow down could no longer endure the speed, and started screaming.

    “Sojeo! Sozer! You need to slow down!”

    “If you keep doing this, it will fly away!”

    Passengers pounding on the car body in fear. Dang Do-yeon smiled refreshingly at the raw reactions of the passengers.

    Thanks to Hocheonan, it was good to drive a Bicheon carriage and travel around the world to your heart’s content, but there was still something regrettable about it, and that was that as the coachman of the Bicheon carriage, he was not able to receive many passengers.

    But now there is no reason to feel that regret.

    There will be a lot of passengers wanting news about Geummyeongwol in the future!

    “Hahahaha!!!”

    The raincoat flew into the sky with Dang Do-yeon’s refreshing smile, clearing away even the slightest regret left in her heart.

    Ugh!!!

    “Aaaaa!!”

    “Kyaaa!!”

    “Hahahaha!!!”

    The raincoat flew by, the passengers screamed, and Dang Do-yeon laughed.

    “Put it down!”

    “Please help me!”

    “My, I was wrong!”

    “Huh! Mommy!!”

    A room that has become a place of loathing itself! Dang Do-yeon asked as he slowed down the speed of the raincoat to the shouts coming from behind.

    “If you get off now, you won’t be able to hear the story about Geum Myeong-wol Sojeo, is that okay?”

    “I’m coming down! Right now!!”

    “Please be patient. Now that you have experienced the aerial attitude control function, which is the basic function of a raincoat, all you have to do is the pivot function that allows you to run at high speed on rough terrain full of obstacles, and the rapid inertia control function using a chain oar…”

    “Please help me!”

    Clap!

    Dang Do-yeon had no choice but to stop the Bicheon carriage, and as soon as the Bicheon carriage stopped, the passengers rushed out and ran away.

    Dang Do-yeon quenched his appetite while watching the backs of passengers running away with trembling legs. Since I already had passengers on board, I wanted to hear the evaluation of various new features…

    Even though she felt regret for a moment, a smile soon appeared on Dang Do-yeon’s face.

    This was because I remembered that as soon as I returned to my guest room, there would be people waiting to become passengers.

    “Hahahaha! ruler! Let’s go back!”

    Doo doo doo doo!

    It was one day when the two people who took Geum Myeong-wol’s information hostage started going on a rampage.
