Chapter 269 The Bastard

Eunibi’s pupils rippled slightly.
That was unexpected.
It’s a metaphor for the first and only god, Cheonma.
How did they figure it out?
One question, then a guess.
“Ah!
The two women had a hunch.
Earlier, Gunmuak and Chul Ryu-hyeon exchanged a full-mouth kiss.
Perhaps that’s when you realized something.
Or not.
“Iron Currents.”
Gunmuak continued with the name.
“He taught me.”
A fleeting thought, like the sound of the wind in your ears.
This is the conversation we had earlier.
-Ironcloud, one last question.
-Tell me.
-Where is the parallel you mentioned?
-The place where I realized I’m a taoist?
-Yes.
-Is it just curiosity?
-Yes. I’d love to go there.
-Dried up. That’s what it’s been called since ancient times.
-Dryden Tatum…….
-Tianma and Dharma exchanged martial arts there, and it is recorded in the ancient texts of Tianmaoism as Mabulmildam.
-Oh, right, you did.
-Well, in honor of this meeting, I’ll give you the exact location. The place is…….
Gunmuak cleared his mind and spoke in a low but clear voice.
“According to what Chul Ryuhon said, it would be difficult to get in and out.”
“What?”
“Why?”
“It’s a very strong supernatural connection.”
“Ah…….”
The two women let out a short gasp.
“But I can’t lose either.”
Gunmuak glanced behind him with those words.
“So, we will definitely look into it. Do you understand?”
Eun-ibi and Ya-baek-ji lock eyes, and she nods her head in agreement.
“Yes.”
I did.
I figured out what it meant.
If this body can’t do what the Iron Curtain did, I don’t know what can.
So how can we fight back against him in the future?
That’s exactly what Gunmuak meant.
‘Iron currents are often the biggest variable and the biggest enemy of the school’s progress…….’
Muttering to himself, Ya Baiji’s eyes fell silent.
“But there’s one more thing that’s bothering me.
His thoughts quickly turn to a conversation with Yeom Sang-ah.
-I had some pretty amazing things happen to me while you were away for a few days.
-Oh, yeah, I can’t help but wonder.
-He has a secret helper, which I didn’t realize.
-Secret Helpers……? I didn’t realize there was such a thing…….?
-What if we turned that around?
-Huh? That means…….
-When I’m at the top of the Church, I’ll need allies outside of the Asuramite Church, right?
-Would you do business with them if you didn’t know who they were?
-Yes, because for them, it only changes who they’re dealing with, and besides, if they find out that Confucius is on my side…….
-Hoo…… sounds like a good idea.
-We’ll have to wait and see what happens…… Then it’s never too late to think about it.
-Yes. Miss.
Ya Baiji looked at Gunmuak, who soon took the lead, and said lazily.
“It’s a shame that things turned out the way they did, and I wish I had known about it before…….”
“You mean that secretive group of helpers?”
“Yes…….”
“Let bygones be bygones, and regrets be regrets.”
“I see.”
“That’s another reason. Chu Liuhui taught me to go to Gontai Yandam.”
“……?”
“One who secretly aided Ah Lun Nan, whose men are said to have appeared at the Jian Gong Tie Yan Dam.”
At the same time, Yabaekji and Eunibi’s complexions changed.
“……!”
That’s when Gunmuak stopped crying.
The two women following closely behind also slowed their movements and stood tall.
The lips of the silent turncoat open.
“That’s what Chullehorn said, too. He said he found the contact today. Anyway, he says he killed them all and got rid of them. It can’t be true, but I doubt he’s gotten very far.”
Eunibee and Ya Baekji then expressed some concern.
“Something doesn’t add up. Could it be that they have a similar level of seniority to this school?”
“If you’re a powerhouse or more than a powerhouse…….”
At that moment, Gunmuak’s impassive expression turned grim.
“Don’t worry about it ahead of time. They don’t know what we’re capable of.”
As soon as that was said.
Tsk, tsk, tsk……
From the left hand of the military drum corps, a shadowy ajirang rose up and played a stringed instrument.
The iron scabbard in his hand then quickly melted.
The relics of the former Archbishop of the Heavenly Demon Church, the Great Heavenly Demon King, eight hundred years ago.
It was an amazing feat of skill.
I’m guessing it’s not even a hot Chapter.
It was a phenomenal power of samadhi evolution.
Eunibi, who felt Gunmuak’s terrifying prayers, was shaken.
The mood of the forest has completely changed.
A lifeless space.
There is a deathly silence.
The wind has died down.
That’s it.
I can’t even hear the birds singing.
As if submerged in deep, deep darkness…….
No.
The lush, natural landscape seems lifeless in the face of the dark, demonic breath.
If it weren’t for the snow, you’d think time had stopped.
The intangible prayer that Gunmuak emanated was terrifying.
The scabbard has long since melted away into a mushy mass of iron.
Soon, the energized Gunmuak declared.
“No matter how much power you have, if you stamp with the skill of the throne, it will be enough. There will be no more humiliation. At least…… as long as I am Archbishop.”
Then the two women shuddered with a strange shiver.
“Yes. You are quite right, Archbishop.”
“We believe in it, too.”
Gunmuak ordered, turning back to the road.
“We will reach the border of the region by the end of the day.”
The three of them raced down the road again, heading southwest.
Meanwhile, Gunmuak replayed the conversation with Chul Ryu-hyeon in his mind.
-Arun Nanda had a secret circle of helpers. Today, we got a glimpse inside its head.
-I have heard the story. I don’t know the exact nature of it.
-those, not normal.
-Did you find anything else?
-Only in fragments. It wasn’t them, or Mado anyway.
-Hmm…… But why is he bringing that up all of a sudden?
-I had a hunch.
-Premonition?
-Yes, maybe we’ll end up holding hands.
-……!
A faint smile crossed Gunmuak’s lips.
“Hold hands? We?
Well, that’s not going to happen.
Because my heart is like an iron stream.
If you’re one step ahead of them, I’m going to tear them to shreds…….
It was a no-brainer.
The civility group will get in the way of Tianmiao’s future endeavors.
You have one goal in mind.
The glorious namelessness of being a thousand horses in this age, and the power that comes with it.
So if anyone stands in my way, I will kill them.
As the master of the star sign, the Emperor of the Extreme Heavens is an overwhelming force.
The deep voice of the Iron Currents rising once again.
-I’m glad it’s not about them.
Gunmuak’s smile became clearer.
“So are you.

A house in a hundred states.
Boom!
The messenger opened the gate and stepped into the garden.
“Mother, Mother, where are you? I’m here!”
Then a person ran out of the front building not far away.
“Ah……, sleep!”
The old woman’s voice trembles with emotion.
She was the mother of the Tathagata.
“Mother!”
“Welcome home, sleepyhead!”
The lioness fell to the grass in a heap, shaken by the sight of her face.
“Mother…… breathes…… greetings…… is late.”
Hearing his sobs, her own eyes welled up with tears.
“Hey, …… is up. Come on, get up. You’ll get dirt on your clothes. Come on, come on, let’s go inside.”
“Yes, Mother…….”
And with that, the hat entered a room in the quaint courtyard.
“Mother, it’s nice to have such a spacious house. Are you comfortable?”
“So comfortable. I still can’t believe I got to do this in my lifetime…….”
“I just heard today that you’re here.”
“I’m new here, too, and it’s all thanks to you, Iron Gate, and my son, who’s finally come to his senses, and I’m glad to see your face…….”
“So you’ve heard the story about me.”
“Yes, I’ve heard. He’s retired from banditry and has been initiated into the Mundo of the White Sword Gate…….”
“Yes, Mother…… was a stroke of luck.”
“I have indeed met an old man, and it seems that you have a good heart. In the meantime, this mother…….”
As usual, she couldn’t finish her sentence due to the emotions rising in her heart.
After swallowing back the tears, the messenger grinned and stood up.
“Mother, you can rest easy now. Don’t worry about me, I’ll try to be a good son from now on.”
“Thanks for the kind words. So, how’s your work going? I heard you recently started practicing martial arts…….”
He nodded vigorously, then pulled out a citation and smiled broadly.
“Amyo, amyo, look at this, I’ve been doing great for a few days, I even got a commendation, and here, here, you see the seal of the Kwan family?”
But then, her face hardened.
“Kwan’s citation is called……?”
“Yes, Mother.”
“What did you do?”
“We’ll take down the seven living bodies and punish the two evil-doing Mumuns…….”
“How?”
Tae Sajah flinched at the accusatory tone of Zahyo Jeong’s voice and replied.
“What? Well, by force…….”
“You wretch! I thought you were a good dog, but now you’re a bad excuse for a human being!”
Chapter was startled by Qin Hyo-jung’s sudden order.
“Uh, Mother, what do you mean by that?”
“Where are you trying to deceive this mother!”
“What do you mean, cheat?”
“Even my unlearned body can recognize that you’ve been studying the martial arts for so long that you’re being honored with a major!”
“No, G, it’s real……!”
“Shut up! Forging official documents and lying to me, how ridiculous this mother is…… Oh, I can’t live up to my name, I can’t live up to my name! As the old saying goes, once a delinquent, always a delinquent…….”
“Mother, calm down, it’s all true, it’s just that when I see blood, I have a spontaneous ‘hah, hah’ sound that makes me feel stronger…….”
“Ha, ha, ha! I should have taught you a lesson long ago by beating you! If you truly consider me your mother, you’d better get back on your feet!”
In one of his hands, he holds a spinning wheel.
Suddenly, the voice of the Seppankyo flashed through his mind.
-Come, hurry up and go. Your mother will embrace you with open arms, a son who has repented of his mistakes and made amends…….
‘Fuck! Wrong! You’re wrong! You’re not going to embrace me with open arms, I look like I’m about to get my ass kicked!

That night.
A group of people set foot in a forest in the middle of a ten thousand foot mountain after dark.
There were thirty or forty warriors, each with their own weapons.
And.
Standing alone atop the cliff, Inyoung stared at the group in silence.
Like it’s a dark night but you can see all the way down there.
He turned out to be a middle-aged man of about nine feet tall.
A smooth, unshaven jaw, a sharp brow, a pair of pupils tinted a dull grayish-white, and skin too white to show any hint of blood.
It was lifeless.
It’s like a walking invoice, a prayer.
The middle-aged man smirked and emitted a creepy voice.
“Hoo hoo. You’ve come, you wealthy moths of the river.”
