Chapter 353



A small village in Jucheon, not far from Qilian Mountain.

Two people wearing bamboo hats and wearing white clothes entered a guesthouse with a signboard that said “Dorim (導林)” and a gray awning flying around.

Naturally, the eyes of the guests in the guesthouse turned to them.

One had a sturdy build and was wearing two crossed swords behind his back, and the other was a boy who looked to be about thirteen or fifteen years old.

The boy spoke excitedly to the sturdy man.

“Wow. Master. “I think we’ve finally entered the midfield.”

“I see.”

“When I passed through Dunhuang or Okmen, I couldn’t tell whether it was the land area or the west area, such as camels, but it was a special feeling.”

“I guess it’s even more so for you.”

The man chuckled as he looked at the excited boy he liked.

The man unwrapped the piece of yellow cloth that was covering his face.

“Whoa.”

The bearded man\'s face was covered in scars, and his aura was so strong that it reminded him of a wild beast, so the guests who were glancing at him all turned their heads.

Everyone was afraid of him, but he was not the guest\'s Jeomsoi.

“Welcome.”

Since you have to do business, who can you judge based on your impressions?

Jeomsoy guided them to an empty seat.

As soon as I sat down, a man with a bushy beard ordered.

“Somyeon and the most harsh drinker in this guesthouse… Why do you have that look on your face again?”

The man asked, frowning at the boy\'s sullen face.

The boy said with sparkling eyes.

“It’s been a while since I stopped by the guesthouse. Master, why don’t you have some real food?”

“Here’s some food.....guy. “I guess I just want to eat meat.”

“lol. “I got caught.”

The man shook his head and changed his order to Jeomsoy.

“If you have duck stew and meat dishes, please serve them.”

“I understand. “Should the shipper bring it back as is?”

“I know.”

After receiving the order, Jeomsoy rushed to the kitchen.

After Jeomsoy left, the boy took out the water bag from his waist and drank it down.

When the man who called me teacher stared at me, he waved his hand and said.

“I stopped by the guest cup, so why not fill it with water?”

“done. “You won’t run out of water anymore anyway, so drink as much as you want.”

“Is that true?”

“Have you seen this teacher talking nonsense?”

The boy smiled brightly and liked it.

A boy born in the desert area of the western region had a habit of always filling his water bag.

Not long after, food came out and the boy ate it with excitement.

After satisfying his hunger to some extent, the boy spoke in a voice full of anticipation.

“It’s been almost a year since you came to Jungwon. Aren’t you happy, Master?”

“That’s where people live anyway.”

“no way. “Isn’t it okay for you to say that?”

The man smiled silently at the affable boy\'s words.

This boy was a valuable talent he met in a desert village in Xinjiang\'s slash-and-burn field.

He had no intention of taking on disciples his entire life, but his thoughts completely changed after meeting this boy.

‘This guy is a talent that will surpass me.\'

He was also called a genius by many martial artists.

Without a proper teacher, he perfected his own martial arts and reigned as one of the eight great masters.

His name is Hyeokcheonman.

In the Jungwon martial arts world, he is called Nangwang (浪王).

How did he, who was the greatest martial artist and active as a ronin in the central plains, travel all the way to the western region?

It was to push oneself to one’s limits.

In his last mission in the midfield, he met another person with natural talent.

As a result, Hyukcheon, who felt the need for training, headed to the West Region.

“The disciple’s excitement cannot subside at the thought of meeting the four hundred people that the Master has been talking about. “I’m really looking forward to it being the best sword in the world.”

“Arthur. “I don’t know that title yet.”

There was only one reason for his return after being stuck in the West for a year.

It was to meet Jin Woon-hwi, a priest who had earned the title of the best sword in the world.

Even though it was tens of thousands of miles away from the West, it did not mean that rumors from the central plains did not come in.

‘The best sword in the world.\'

I couldn\'t help but be surprised when I heard that rumor.

When I last saw him, he was still confident that he was one step ahead.

But what happened in just one year?

Jin Woon-hwi beat out so many masters and earned the title of the best in the world.

‘I\'ll check it myself.\'

I think there must be a reason why the Jungwon martial arts people reverence him so much.

However, the person I am now is also on a different level from a year ago.

The world was wide.

A new type of expert that had not been seen in the central region was abundant in the western region.

Hyukcheon survived there and surpassed his limits.

‘Priests. I hope I don\'t disappoint this executioner.\'

Even though I was thinking that, I couldn\'t help but feel excited because of my unique fighting spirit.

The boy, who was giggling as he looked at his teacher\'s face like this, spoke carefully.

“Master. After stopping by Wushuang City and seeing Sibaek, if you get the chance, can’t you go see Empress of Binghan, Xue Baek?”

“Seolbaek?”

Now that I think about it, I heard that it was a female master who became one of the new Paldae masters.

A lot has changed in just one year.

Even when he was in the central plains, Hong Il-jeom was the only one among the adepts who was Aksimpa and Cheolsu-ryeon.

But now, two outstanding female experts, including the Sword and Blood Witch and the Ice Han Empress, have been born.

“And out of all these people, why did you want to see Empress Binghan?”

“I heard that Empress Binghan is as pretty and mysterious as a fairy. Aren’t you curious, Master?”

Hyeok-man sighed and laughed at the disciple\'s words.

Maybe it was because I was just starting to meet the opposite sex, but I didn\'t expect people to show interest in my appearance first.

“Aren’t you looking at a tree that is too high from the beginning?”

To Hyukcheon\'s playful question, the boy answered as if he was embarrassed.

“Rather than that, I think a woman of that caliber would be a good match for Master...”

“What?”

Hyeokcheon burst into laughter at the boy’s words.

Who would have thought that she was just interested in it because of the rumor that it was beautiful?

I felt honored that my student thought of me.

‘So this is how you raise disciples.\'

I felt satisfied.

“Master, aren’t you interested?”

“I don’t know.”

He devoted his entire life to life as a ronin and martial arts.

Although he had lived his life without being interested in women, as his disciple said, if it was a woman like that, he would not have been a bad person.

‘A peerless beauty and a peerless expert...\'

If you were to have an heir from such a woman, wouldn\'t an outstanding child be born?

When I thought about it, it didn\'t seem that bad.

“hmm.”

As my student said, I was thinking that it would be good to meet a woman of that caliber at least once.

“Welcome!”

Another guest came into the guesthouse.

It was a group of warriors wearing gray military uniforms, and unusually, they did not come for a meal or lodging, but rather ordered a large amount of food to be taken out.

‘hmm.\'

And while they waited, they talked in quiet voices in the corner.

Most of them were useless stories, but among them, there was one topic that caught Hyukman\'s attention.

“But will you really be there?”

“It would be certain if the information provided by Musou Castle is correct.”

“no. “For what reason did you go to the Three Major Bans?”

‘Ban three strikes?\'

Hyukcheon\'s eyes narrowed at the words that came out of their mouths.

The three forbidden places literally meant three places that should not be entered.

Fenglin Valley (封林谷) in Shaanxi Province,

Guiam Grottoes (鬼巖石窟) in Sichuan Province,

and Hyolorin (血露林), which is said to be hidden in the canyon of Qilin Mountain not far from here, were among the three places.

Hyeokcheon listened even more intently to the interesting story.

They spoke in a whisper, but Hyeok-man, who possessed profound inner strength, could hear them clearly.

“They say there’s something to get from Bloodrorim, but I don’t know the details.”

“Tsk tsk. Anyway, that\'s true. How can it be in a place called the Three Great Forbidden...”

“But even so, it’s called the best sword in the world, so what’s wrong with it?”

‘what?\'

Hyeok-man couldn\'t help but be surprised at their words.

He was the one who thought that Jin Woon-hwi would be in the peerless castle.

However, if what they say is true, isn\'t Jin Woon-hwi currently in Hyeolrorim, one of the three major prohibitions?

‘If the star name is clear, he must be a priest. ‘Who are they?\'

I don\'t know what kind of organization it was, but I knew about the priest.

If you listen to the conversation a little more, you will be able to guess.

“I guess so. Rather, I may have to be more prepared to be caught by their hands.”

‘Who are you holding on to?\'

“It looks like both of you are definitely going to end this.”

“......It’s scary to even think about it.”

“Even if it were the best sword in the world, it wouldn’t be able to do much this time.”

“You have to be prepared.”

As their conversation unfolded, Hyukcheon’s expression became serious.

“Master?”

The boy, puzzled by this, called him.

Hyeok-man pretended to be quiet and listened.

However, when they saw sacks of packaged food coming out of the kitchen, they stopped their conversation and carried them on their backs and went out of the guest room.

At this, Hyeok-man hurriedly stood up and said.

“Get up.”

“How?”

“It looks like your four hundred people are in danger.”

“yes?”

“We must hurry after them.”

The boy, surprised by his teacher\'s fuss, hurriedly bundled up his luggage.

* * *

The two priests who came out of the guesthouse quickly chased down the warriors who had bought food.

Fortunately, the warriors\' martial skills did not allow them to notice that the priest was pursuing them.

[Who are the people who are targeting Master Sabaek?]

[Well. I don\'t know that either.] What

is certain is that, according to their conversation, it seemed like they had made every preparation to catch the priest Jin Unhwi.

No matter how high your martial arts skills were, being careless was prohibited in martial arts.

If you follow them, you will find out how they can push the priest into a corner.

About half an hour has passed since I started tracking like that.

[Master, it must be there.]

While chasing them on the tree, they found a carriage and a group of warriors.

Like an attendant, they were closely guarding the carriage.

He looked at Hyukcheon Bay and frowned.

[Why are you doing that?]

[Hmm. There is a master in the carriage who has overcome a wall.]

[A master who has overcome a wall?]

In addition, it seems that there is also a master who has reached his peak.

However, there was also a subtle presence of another person.

I think my judgment was right.

If they had been missed like this, priest Jin Woon-hwi might have received an unexpected blow to the head.

‘Thank goodness.\'

Still, he was the only priest.

I couldn\'t let him be in danger.

If he was who he was now, he was confident that he could deal with all of them, including those in the carriage.

‘It will be a good experience for him.\'

Hyeok-man believed that there was nothing more valuable than the experience of taking risks.

You can\'t grow if you hold on to it as if protecting it.

[Follow me.]

[Yes!]

-Pot!

Hyeok-man fired the new weapon first, and the boy followed.

When they suddenly appeared, the warriors guarding the carriage all drew their swords.

-visor! visor!

“Who are you?”

The warriors urged in voices full of caution.

In response, Hyeok-man shouted with all his energy.

“Who would dare target my priest?”

“Ugh!”

“Ear back!”

The powerful voice was like a lion\'s roe, and the warriors covered their ears in pain.

When they were unable to move, Hyukcheon shouted again.

“Get out of the carriage right now.”

Not long after that shout, a sound was heard from inside the carriage.

“Priests? “What are you talking about now?”

‘female?\'

The voice coming from the carriage was that of a woman.

Moreover, just looking at the power in his voice, he was clearly an expert who could overcome barriers.

I became even more curious about its identity.

-Sreung!

Without hesitation, Hyukcheon pulled out one of his treasured swords, Eunrang, and swung it towards the carriage.

-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

At that moment, the sword strike stretched forward with a sharp anticipation.

A blow strong enough to split the ground was likely to split the carriage in half at any moment.

Then someone jumped out of the carriage.

-Paang!

A red flag in the shape of a half moon was drawn in the air, and soon the flag targeting the carriage was cut in half and scattered.

Hyeok-man frowned at the sight of the woman with blood-red hair fluttering.

‘Who is that woman?\'

I\'m sure I\'ve heard of it.

It was similar to the appearance of Baek Hye-hyang, the head of the new blood cult, the Sword and Blood Witch.

At that time, someone else appeared in the carriage, and the boy, a student, was startled and shouted.

“Master Shi. “This is Empress Binghan!”

A peerless beauty comes out with her long silver hair swept away.

She was Seolbaek, the Empress of Binghan.

An exclamation flowed from the mouth of the boy who saw Seolbaek, whom he had longed to see so much.

On the other hand, Hyukcheon couldn\'t help but be surprised.

‘Have we overcome the wall of superhumanity?\'

I was opening my energy as much as possible, but I couldn\'t properly sense the energy of that silver-haired woman, Snow White.

This meant that he had almost the same capabilities as himself.

So, I didn\'t notice what was in the carriage.

“Master, why are these people.....”

Hyeok-cheon also couldn’t hide his wonder at the disciple’s words.

He never expected that the female masters who had become one of the eight great masters and the five great villains in the current martial arts world would be targeting their priests.

Moreover, as far as he knew, Baek Hye-hyang was the vice leader of a blood religion.

Are you trying to betray me?

Hyeok-man shouted at this.

“Why are you targeting my priest?”

At his words, Baek Hye-hyang shouted in a nervous voice.

“What are you talking about earlier? “Who is your priest who says such things...”

At that time, the grizzled old man Seogalma, who got out of the carriage, spoke.

“Cult leader. “I think that guy is a bitch.”

“Nangwang? Could it be Hyukcheonman?”

It was Seogalma who recognized him at once by his appearance.

Baek Hye-hyang\'s eyes sparkled at his words.

The fact that Nangwang Hyeok-cheon was Jin Woon-hwi\'s brother-in-law, was already widely known in the martial arts community.

At that time, Hyeok-man shouted at them.

“I already heard from the people I sent to the guest house that you are trying to end things with my priest. What the hell…” It

was that moment.

Baek Hye-hyang narrowed the distance by throwing a new weapon at him.

It was not only her, but also Seolbaek.

King Hyeok-cheon, who judged that he was faced with two unrivaled experts at once, pushed his disciple away with his true energy and shouted.

“Avoid.”

If it was just one person, there was no way to protect them while dealing with these two.

But something unexpected happened.

The two women who thought they were going to attack soon stopped in front of them, took arms, and said this at the same time.

“Master!”

‘!?\'

For a moment, King Hyukcheon had no idea what the situation was.

Why do they call themselves Mr. Uncle?
