How would people react if a tall woman with purple hair walked past three blue-skinned men with creepy expressions?

Here’s the answer.

“The vengeful spirit of the beast that was eaten has come to visit, the vengeful spirit!”

“Namu Amitabha Buddha Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva”

“In the name of the Primordial Heavenly Lord, I command you, monster, to go away!”

People are hiding behind buildings and aiming all sorts of tools at me as if they’re seeing a ghost. The only people I can see are religious people reciting spells…

Since it doesn’t seem to have any effect, I guess it’s not a special spell.

I looked around the town. It wasn’t anything special.

It’s full of mediocre people who are neither good nor bad.

If society were a little more developed, these people would be the ones who truly prey on people, but in this day and age, they are closer to the common people.

At best, they get together and ruin a family?

That’s too little warmth.

If you’re going to do something, it’s better to go to at least a slightly bigger town and do it.

If I recall correctly, it wasn’t that far to the next city. So I just walked past the crowd and headed straight for the next city.

It’s not a village or a town like here, but a place where the administrative power of a government office called a castle reaches to a certain extent.

So I don’t stay in this town, I go straight to the next town.

The three men stopped at the village and started talking about what they were going to do next. Since they were watching in real time anyway, they and I parted ways at this village.

The three of them each return to their respective sects and explain that the leader of the clan stole the treasure and ran away, and they try to demand retribution from the leader of the clan.

He makes a vow full of hatred, saying that he must receive the price of the lives of dead sect members.

It doesn’t look very pretty to me though.

Judging from the fact that he said he wanted to return to his own sect, it seems like he wants to return to a safe place first.

Unfortunately, it would be easier to go and stab him than to go back.

Why would you think you can return to the sect?

His skin turned blue and his hair turned purple.

Up until now, only Cheonma had blue skin, so they wouldn’t be suspected of being a member of the Cheonma Sect or, as they put it, a member of the Demonic Cult just because they have blue skin.

But you might be doubtful as to whether he is really human.

But after they decided to return to the sect, instead of immediately parting ways, they discussed how to return.

And after saying that it would be better to avoid people’s gaze while looking at each other’s skin, we said our goodbyes and each headed into the forest.

I feel regretful that I can’t go kill Jeong Chil-jin, the leader of the O-ak faction, right away, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

Well, if you think about it, Jeong Chil-jin’s status is higher right now. It’s unlikely that anything big will happen if someone who has turned blue comes in and says a few words.

If they say it’s just the devil’s nonsense, there’s a high chance that they’ll end up dying.

Anyway, it wouldn’t be a bad thing for me if they went back to their sect instead of chasing the vice-leader. The further they move, the better.

As people gather, there will be a big flow. I don’t have the brain to figure out where the flow is going, but I know that people will gather.

You can think about it later.

So, as I sort out what I have to do and what I want to do next, I leave the village completely and climb up the long hill.

If you climb up and down this hill, you will see a large city with wide rice fields and stone walls in front of you.

But Kunlun is so far away that it takes a long time to walk there… … .

Let’s go.

***

I arrived in a big city.

But there was a problem.

I was refused entry into the city. They said that it was a place where outsiders like me were not allowed to enter.

Foreigners speak in a manner similar to that of an envoy.

Although it is natural to be wary of strangers, it was unexpected to be turned away by a soldier who clearly appeared to have come out of a coffin.

I’m not interested in this right now, so I guess I’ll have to go around.

However, this is a city that doesn’t have a few buildings or anything, but rather a city based on the faded memories of a man, so it takes a long time to go around.

I turn around and go.

Even outside the city walls, there are slums like tent villages lined up. It’s a place where you never know what might happen if you just go there.

If it weren’t for me.

I walk down an old, dirty alley that has hardly any straight paths.

I thought something would happen right away, but surprisingly, the people around me were just gossiping and getting out of the way, and no one did anything.

Then it’s good for me.

And after a day of walking, when the sun had completely set.

I stopped walking.

I’m hungry, but there’s nothing to eat.

As I was walking around, thinking it would be nice if there was a place selling food in a place like this, I found the faint smell of food.

If you go straight in that direction, you will find a fairly large open space between the buildings.

There are shabby tents pitched around the area, and a few dark bonfires are lit, around which people are sitting, drinking.

And on one side, they sell food that is close to junk food.

“What do you sell?”

“There’s no food here that a martial artist like you would eat… … .”

The woman mumbles and steps back slowly. She is old enough to be called an old woman, but she is not that old in real life. She just lived a rough life and the years have beaten her face.

“I eat it without being picky. Oh, you didn’t have money.”

Now that I think about it, I didn’t carry any money or anything.

“Would you use coins in a place like this? There are rats and scorpions, so it would be better to go somewhere else if possible.”

“Scorpions. Spiders are also edible.”

If you don’t have money, you can just make gold.

Of course, it would be a disaster for this person, but what can I do? I can create an opportunity to make a fuss while eating.

He picked up a stone that had fallen on the road and crushed reality into gold.

Snap.

A faint crack appears in the air.

I guess it’s okay to pay with gold in the future too.

I just handed it to the woman.

“It’s gold.”

“Is that you, sir?”

The woman is startled and grabs the gold, touching it as if she is in a trance, with an expression on her face as if she is wondering if this is real. Then the chattering sound of the people drinking around her disappears.

Without a sound, countless people’s eyes are focused here.

“No, I’m not a god.”

I took some food that I could eat moderately and ate it. The human body needs calories. It may be a little lacking in nutrition, but if you eat a lot, you can easily fill up the calories you need right away.

“Would you like to drink a bottle of alcohol?”

“No. I don’t need alcohol. This is water, right?”

As I was eating the food in front of me while looking at the woman nodding her head, a person slowly approached me.

“Hey, listen. If you’re going to give me that much gold, wouldn’t you be kind to us too? Huh?”

Most of them are short and skinny. However, there are also people of some size who have protruding bellies, perhaps due to nutritional imbalances.

“Do you want gold?”

“Yeah!”

So I picked up a rock from the floor and placed it in his hand.

Whisper, bang.

“Are you kidding me!”

A man glares at you and sticks his face in while throwing a rock. Intimidation behavior is similar everywhere.

Well, this world doesn’t really care about gold.

So I turned his limbs into gold.

Damn.

There are dark cracks all over the place. I can’t change it anymore because it’ll break if I go any further, but this is enough.

“Ugh, euaaah!”

“This is the gold that mankind wanted.”

The man fell to the floor screaming. He had no choice but to move his arms and legs to help him balance, now that they had turned to gold.

I decided to stir up some confusion here.

Pure gold is softer than you think.

So I grabbed the fallen man’s finger and twisted it away.

It’s a piece of pure gold. I threw it in the middle of the place where most people were gathered. The people around me screamed as if they were possessed and ran towards me, saying that it was mine.

Looking at that, I say this.

“There’s a lot of gold here, why are you fighting over it?”

yes.

The face of the man whose limbs were now golden has turned pale. This is because the gazes of the people around him have become extremely sharp.

In these times and places, human life is of little value.

By the way, there is gold that is good for mining?

Soon, a person will be torn to pieces like prey being torn to pieces by a pack of wolves.

I greeted the shopkeeper and left the scene of chaos, covered in blood and gold. Then I approached the man who was dying with his limbs torn off.

His eyes were white and he was bleeding so much that he was on the verge of death.

“The gold is yours, why should someone else take it? I will help those who need it to have it.”

It’s easy to understand, but it’s actually something that only people who treat people like fools do.

But how many people can think clearly in a situation mixed with such madness?

“I’ll give myself to you, but later, when you’ve finished everything, I’ll take everything you have. How about that?”

And then he immediately recited the contract.

Even if the consciousness is not straight, this contract is embedded in the person.

The man signed up right away, and a man emerged with skin that cracked like porcelain and turned blue. Of course, he had new arms and legs.

He looks up at me with a face filled with fear and awe. He seems to be afraid of what I might do. But his consciousness has already matured enough.

So I said this.

“Okay, do what you want.”

After saying that, I left him alone and left the place.

After a while.

You can hear a mix of sounds, including a man yelling from behind to give you his gold, a man refusing to let it be taken from him, and a man rushing to snatch the gold from the man refusing.

I hope to survive long enough for the blue guy to be revealed to the world, with a moderate amount of chaos.

Until we catch up with those who have returned to their respective sects.

Hwaruruk

Eventually, a fire broke out behind them. If a big fire breaks out in a place like this, it should be put out immediately, but who would care if there was an easy-to-understand commodity like gold in front of them?

What if you put out a fire and the gold is stolen?

Or what if I could take this opportunity to steal the gold?

Someone else will do it, not me.

Someone will turn off the lights.

That will fuel the fire until it becomes impossible to put it out. Then, those inside the walls will have to come out too.

Even if fire can’t get over the walls, poisonous gases are another matter, right?

Tap tap tap.

I walk towards Kunlun Mountain.
