Chapter 455
455fury. Admiral Lee
Go back a little bit in time.
The first time Baeksu-ryong visited the Ghost King was at dawn on the day of the meeting..
“I wonder who is not part of the Mosan faction... … It's extremely gloomy..”
The area around the peak where the Ghost King resides was shrouded in thick fog..
Even though it was not yet dawn, a gloomy and ominous energy flowed from beyond the fog. It was as if he was warning me not to come closer..
The white water dragon stepped into the boundary without hesitation..
Who are you?!
As the clear voice spread, the white fog swirled wildly. It was as if the fog was alive and watching out for intruders. Some crept up on me and tried to stick to my skin..
[It's an unpleasant tactic..]
The Changryongsingeom, which had been wrapped in cloth and slung like a burden on the Baeksuryong's back since coming to Nokrim, gave off a divine energy, and the approaching fog was startled and retreated..
“I don’t have to do this? This kind of fog doesn't penetrate me.”
[If you don't set an example, they will continue to do tricks..]
“That's right.”
Baeksu-ryong chuckled and walked leisurely towards the place where he could feel the presence of the Ghost King..
What is this……!
I felt anger and confusion at the same time in the Ghost King's voice..
The fog that spread across this area was the secret that made the Mosan faction a mystery for hundreds of years..
If you step in too hastily, you will get lost in the fog, see illusions, and go crazy with fear..
Of course, it is incomparably simpler than what was installed around the Mosanpa, but it was not at a level where it could be destroyed so easily..
However, the opponent was too bad. For Baeksu-ryong, who was with the best magician in the world, it was just a little damp fog..
After a while, Baeksu-ryong was able to face the Ghost King sitting on the palanquin and looking down at him..
“……You destroyed my position and came all the way here. You seem to have some talent..”
The Ghost King tried hard to erase the embarrassment from his voice and maintain his dignity, but Baeksu-ryong could see that he was nervous in an unfamiliar situation..
‘It might be easier to handle than you think..’
For a moment, Baeksu-ryong's eyes lit up and he attacked the Ghost King. However, there was no excessive courtesy..
“My name is Meng Longhui. It belongs to Yeomrachae, ruled by monk Nokui..”
“……How dare bandits come to my residence without permission?!”
The Ghost King, who learned the identity of his opponent, radiated ghost energy and glared at Meng Longhui. Purple long guns fluttered wildly, and jiangshi walked out of the fog and surrounded Meng Longhui..
purr…….
purr…….
The sight of the Jiangshi approaching through the fog was a sight that would chill the nerves of even the bravest of warriors, but Meng Ryonghui had a nonchalant expression on his face..
He was calm as if the Jiangshi were not in sight..
“I had something I wanted to share quietly, so I had no choice but to come here even though I knew it was rude..”
“The debtor didn't come in person and I have nothing to talk about with his subordinates.!”
eat.
The corners of Meng Longhui’s mouth rose and a strange smile formed..
“Think of me as a subordinate of the Green Knight.?”
“……What?”
To be sure, the attitude of the man Meng Ryonghui was unusual to think that way..
What kind of bandit could single-handedly destroy the techniques of the Mosan faction? In addition, the energy waves flowing over the body were quite strong..
“you……!”
The Ghost King, who had been examining Meng Longhui for a while, saw something strapped to his back and jumped up from the palanquin he was sitting on..
“You had a treasure! It is also a very precious product.…….”
As the Ghost King's eyes sparkled with greed, the Changryongshingeom trembled as if displeased..
[Why not just drag the author away and threaten him with a knife??]
‘no. First of all, I came here to propose cooperation..’
[I usually do well…….]
‘If words don't make sense, I'll try that..’
Comforting the grumbling Changryongshingeom, Baeksuryong took a step closer. Then the strongmen simultaneously lowered their posture and threatened..
“I suggest it bluntly. Let's hold hands. Please give strength to the green robed monk at today's meeting..”
“under. why do i?”
The Ghost King snorted. However, he secretly showed his greed..
“Wouldn't it be nice if you gave me a gift to wear on my back?…….”
[I wish I could cut off that guy's snout first..]
Baek Soo-ryong shrugged his shoulders and said.
“Do not overlook my treasure. If you get greedy, you will only get angry. Instead, suggest different conditions..”
“other conditions?”
To the ghost king who responded indifferently, Meng Longhui spoke with a meaningful smile..
“First of all, how about two advanced masters who have mastered the magic arts??”
“……What are you talking about??”
“Georyeong Chaeju, Homun Chaeju. The two guys have mastered magic. It came from a blood religion..”
“…….”
As if he had no idea, the Ghost King was silent for a moment..
Meng Longhui continued..
“If you ally with us, I will promise you the corpses of Georyeongchaeju and Homunchaeju. Not right away, but I will hand it to you after the Green Knight takes control of the Green Forest Alliance..”
“…….”
“Is there any reason to hesitate? There is probably no better ingredient to make a jiangshi than a master who has learned magic..”
At those words, the Ghost King asked back in a surprised voice..
“It's not something a single bandit would know, but how could you know??”
Meng Longhui’s words were accurate..
A warrior who has mastered the magic technique generally has a deep resentment, and the body itself that has practiced the magic technique has a good compatibility with the poison used to create jiangshi..
In other words, if you are an expert at the level of Georyeong Chaeju and Homun Chaeju, it can be said to be the highest quality material for making Gangshi..
The Ghost King seemed to think for a moment, but then nodded..
“indeed. It's a fairly interesting story. But that's it.”
As he lightly waved his hand, the surrounding fog became thicker, and noises began to be heard from all directions..
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-
The Jiangshi began to twist their bodies and narrow the siege..
The Ghost King chuckled and looked at Meng Longhui. The eyes behind the jade mask were shining with murder..
“It's a worse proposition than killing you on the spot and taking the reward you have..”
Baek Su-ryong sighed softly as he looked at the approaching Gangsi..
“Anyway, if you speak kindly, they won't listen..”
And like a thunderbolt, he pulled out his sword and cut down the nearest Jiangshi..
Sigh.!
Jiang Shi, split into two pieces from head to groin, booms left and right! and fell down. It happened in an instant..
“……You have the right to stand in front of this throne..”
The Ghost King immediately forced the Jiangshi to retreat..
Although he pretended to be calm, he did not properly see Meng Longhui draw his sword..
If that attack was directed at you... … . The jiangshi holding the palanquin quietly retreated back without noticing it..
“If you fight with me, you will lose a lot. If you don't mind losing all the jiangshi you have, try anywhere..”
Baeksu- ryong looked up at the Ghost King in a rough posture with a sword draped over his shoulder. Before I knew it, his tone of voice had also changed..
“I suggest it again. I will hand over the two Chaeju who have learned magic arts to the Mosan faction. Not right away, but when the monk of the green robes takes control of the green forest, then he can take it and make it into a jiangshi or boil it and eat it. Also, let’s form an alliance with us and strike a blood relationship..”
“……That alone is not enough.”
Although he was surprised by Meng Longhui's inaction, the Ghost King was not an easy person either..
It is certainly not easy to save the body of a peak master who has mastered magic, but it was not to the point where he suddenly changed alliances and went against the blood cult..
But if there is more to it than that…….
Meng Longhui chuckled as if he had read his thoughts..
“Of course, I have to give you more. Did you think we came here to negotiate with just two gangshi??”
“……Try saying it again.”
“Of all the spoils that will come after the end of the war with the Blood Cult, how about handing over to you all the magic techniques, amulets, spiritual magic, and Dafa??”
“that……!”
The Ghost King swallowed his dry saliva..
In the past, blood religion was famous for its magical techniques and all kinds of fraudulent methods..
Didn't the previous blood demons have a reputation as the best magicians in the world?.
The reason why the Ghost King tried to join the faction in the first place was because he feared that if they made an effort on their side, they would lose out..
‘but…….’
There is no comparison between getting the scraps that fall next to a blood religion and destroying a blood religion and taking the spoils..
But there was one major problem.
The Ghost King looked at Meng Longhui with suspicious eyes..
“Are you qualified to promise me that??”
After the war with the Blood Cult was over, there would be a debate over how to handle it, so the question was whether you had the ability to receive what was promised to the Ghost King on the spot..
Meng Longhui nodded indifferently..
“of course. I can promise. There is also a way to steal it in advance..”
“How can I believe you?”
Meng Ryonghwi laughed and brought the Changryongsin Sword that was on his back to the front..
Although the cloth wrapped around the scabbard was not undone, it was possible to guess just how great a treasure it was just from the fact that it contained spiritual energy..
“I promise to put it on my shoes.!”
Wow!-!
The divine light flowing from the Changryong Divine Sword enveloped the Baeksuryong’s entire body..
Words spoken on a treasure trove have spirituality. If a promise is broken or abandoned, the treasure no longer lends its power to its owner..
It is common knowledge about revenge and a story that every magician knows..
Of course, this did not apply to Changryong Shingeom..
[……Now you are scamming me by selling me out..]
‘It's really better than handing over the techniques of the Blood Cult. And you said you don't like that kid.’
[That's right, but…….]
Even during the conversation, the Changryong Shingeom gave off a divine energy. The Ghost King couldn't help but be amazed at the sight..
“how is it? Isn't this enough to satisfy your appetite??”
“……You guy. You are definitely not a bandit or anything..”
The Ghost King noticed that Meng Longhui's identity was not Green Forest Island..
But it didn't matter.
In any case, we just need to get the benefits we both need..
“good night. let me cooperate with you.”
A chuckle came out from behind the ghost king's jade mask as he made his decision..
That was the story that happened this morning.
* * *
“Ugh…….”
“Ugh…….”
Georyeong Chaeju and Homun Chaeju had collapsed in a terrible state, barely breathing..
The Ghost King checked the condition of the two and clicked his tongue..
“I could barely breathe. If I live long enough, it will only last a year..”
“Now that I have learned magic, my body will recover soon. It may shorten your lifespan, but that's none of my business..”
“Well, I don't see any good in these guys living long..”
Because of the magic he had used just a moment ago, the Ghost King spoke to the White Water Dragon in a tired voice..
“My work is done, so you must keep your promise..”
“of course. It's a promise I made on my sacred item..”
The Ghost King didn't doubt his words and got back on the palanquin. Soon the figure of the palanquin carrying him disappeared into the darkness..
“……It's up to me to clean up after myself..”
After the Ghost King left, Baeksu-ryong cleaned up the place..
The bandits who had fainted were gathered together and blood transfusion was administered again. It won't happen until a few more o'clock.
Then he sat down Homun Chaeju and Georyeong Chaeju and asked,.
“What do you need to do next??”
The two lenders answered with blank, open eyes..
“Returning to the living quarters, he declares that he will recognize the monk of the green robes as his leader.…….”
“Loyalty to the green robed monk... … . Never betray……”
Brainwashed two Chaeju with the Ghost King's techniques and drugs..
He said that he was in the early stages of brainwashing, so he speaks in a clumsy manner, but by the time the sun rises, he will even forget that he was brainwashed..
“Forget me and everything about meeting the Ghost King. Do you understand??”
The two Chaeju nodded with blank, open eyes..
White Water Dragon left them alone and turned around..
I was thinking of going back to the monk's residence..
[……it wasn't a good idea.]
Baek Soo-ryong responded indifferently to Changryong Shingeom’s words of concern..
“I couldn't help it. In this situation, you should at least use the method of decontamination..”
He brainwashed people with magic and committed terrible violence..
No matter how terrible the other person was, he could not deny that his own actions were also wrong..
So much so that it reminds me of my past life..
Baek Soo-ryong muttered with a bitter expression..
“I still had to do it.”
[……Everyone can't live their lives doing only the right thing..]
“What's going on? Give me all the comfort.”
My complicated mind became a little more at ease thanks to the comfort of Changryong Shingeom..
Baek Soo-ryong, who was walking with a smile, suddenly stopped..
He stiffened his expression and stared ahead..
Sigh. Sigh.
A man was sitting on a rock, sharpening his blade on a grinding stone..
He looks so sincere and sincere that he can be said to be a craftsman who has sharpened his blade all his life..
Since he seemed so engrossed that it was difficult to even speak to him, Baek Soo-ryong waited for a while for him to finish his work..
“The hands were pretty cruel..”
The Black Snake Lord spoke in a low voice while shining his face on the blade. The horrifyingly sharp blade caught the moonlight. The blade glowed subtly dark red, no matter what it was made of..
“……why are you here?”
At Meng Longhui’s words, the Heuksaryeonju smiled slightly. He was still looking back and forth at the blade. It seemed like they were checking to see if the blades were evenly sharpened..
“You're not surprised to see me. I was very careful to hide my presence... … . hmm. That's enough..”
Heuk Salyeonju nodded as if satisfied with the result and finally raised his head and looked at Meng Longhui..
“It looks like it knows I've been watching.”
“…….”
As Meng Ryonghui’s expression hardened, Black Snake Literally slowly stood up. For a moment, darkness seemed to spread around him..
“It's fun. The reason why he pretended to be embarrassed when he wasn't, the reason why he hid his martial skills and pushed the green robed monk, and what deal he made with the Ghost King... … . Meng Ryonghui. It's a name I've never heard of, but it feels strangely familiar. Is it possibly related to Meng Hao-eok??”
“…….”
Baek Su-ryong did not answer..
Heuksaryeonju’s words were not a question, but a conversation to himself..
He had already come to his own conclusion and only came here to confirm..
‘You're stronger than you think.’
Feeling like the hair on your whole body is standing on end.
There was a monster in front of me that could not even be compared to those I had faced just moments ago..
“Do you know what I'm most curious about??”
“……What is it?”
Black Snake Laughed happily under the moonlight.
“Of course it's your method..”
The moment the dark red trail split the darkness, the white water dragon also pulled out his sword and swung at the same time..
