Chapter 582 – King Yan’s Disciple 6 (3)

Even if a huge monster appeared in Zhejiang, there was nothing I could take with me.

Is it just a little money to pay for a meal? Rather, there were many things to prepare at the top of the Han family.

After killing a monster, if I claim a share of the body, I have to bring it to Jeokgye, process it properly, and sell it to make money.

Thinking that it would be nice if my emergency fund were filled like an ant monster, I went to find someone I needed to talk to before I left.

‘It seems like everyone else knew.’

Still, I went to see Zhuge Xian, who was the person I needed to inform first.

It was really easy to find it because it would be in a place where people gathered the most recently.

“Xian, are you here?”

“West~”

“Sian.”

The place where Jegal Seon-ah, So-hye, and Yeon-hwa welcome each other is Yeon-hwa’s room, and the actual owner is Cheong-rin.

My sister-in-law, Baek Mo-ran, also comes to see me often, but I don’t think she’s there anymore because she’s working at a merchant.

“Was the master also there?”

“Okay.”

It was a crowded room with five people, including the teacher who had recently been watching over the baby.

Fortunately, we were able to talk at once, so I immediately told him why I came here.

“I think I need to make a quick trip to Zhejiang. They say a huge monster has appeared, and now it looks like it needs my help.”

Seeing that no one was surprised to hear my story, it seems like everyone heard a little bit of the story from outside.

This is a world where rumors spread really quickly as there is nothing to do.

“It’s been a few days since I heard the story. It looks like the Murim people failed to take it down.”

“I think so. That’s why I’ll be away for a few days. I think I’ll feel relieved if Master is looking after Cheongrin kindly.”

Yeonhwa bit her lip slightly as if it was difficult to hide her smile at my words that seemed to care about Cheongrin.

Still, looking at the corners of his mouth that turn towards his ears, he seems to be in a perfect mood even if he says something insignificant.

“Yes. You are the most delicate child in this family. Please come home.”

“Shall I go with Sohye?”

“I plan to rush to Zhejiang and quickly exterminate him, so if you want to come, you can come with Mr. Han. It’s hard for me to transport that guy alone.”

I think I could do the transportation on my own, but I didn’t want to completely take away the jobs of the craftsmen.

After hearing my story, Zhuge Xian nodded her head as if she understood and pulled Sohye into his arms.

‘I explained that it was a soul, but it seemed like we had become closer.’

She has been letting Shahemos loose recently and often hangs out with Zhuge Suna.

If she is reverse summoned with the feeling of attaining Buddhahood, Jegal Seon-ah may be the saddest.

‘What Han Xian cannot use needs to be sorted out step by step.’

After moving my gaze to Cheongrin, who was still as small as a lump of blood, I left the room.

Now I have to go to Zhejiang.

*

After coming out of the enemy’s barrier built because of the monster, it immediately took off into the sky.

The teacher was reluctant to fly through the flame wheel because it was extremely draining of internal energy, but since my order came back to me late, I wanted to solve it quickly.

Leaving behind a tail of white flame, it headed towards Zhejiang as if flying through the sky, and sprayed flames on the group of monsters, goblins and orcs visible in the middle to clear them out.

‘I can’t fly infinitely unless it’s night.’

While organizing the surroundings, I headed toward Zhejiang and landed when I had about half of my strength left.

There was a little distance left to Hangzhou, so I thought it would be better to run for the rest.

Now, stepping on the wave wheel, we quickly headed to Hangzhou and arrived at our destination at night.

What I saw on the riverside, having filled my inner energy by absorbing mana from the shadows through Yeonyeong Shingung (連影神功), was a huge dragon.

A blue dragon with blue scales similar to the Changryongje, the enemy strongest he had fought since possessing Han Xian, was sleeping in a coil.

We defeated Emperor Changlong in Chengdu, Sichuan, which can be said to be at the western end of the central plains, and now we have to fight against Qinglong in Hangzhou, near the eastern end.

‘Is this possibly Kaena’s influence?’

I once fought against an entity that could be called an oni, and at that time I heard that King Nang had brought him from Japan.

What if these monsters were scattered all over the world, not just in the central region? It’s hard to imagine how damaged other places are.

‘The world is so big.’

I don’t think there’s any reason I need to save every place that isn’t visible, but I was a little concerned about places that couldn’t be seen, perhaps to expand my field of view.

In order to ascend to heaven, you have to cut ties with everything except yourself, but it seems very difficult.

“Hey! Don’t wake me up!”

As I was standing near Qinglong, a man who seemed to be from Hangzhou called me.

The man was holding a torch in his hand, and it seems that the blue dragon does not wake up with that kind of fire.

“I came from outside and was looking from afar. Is that the giant monster that appeared in Hangzhou?”

“Huh? No. Why is Blue Dragon a youkai?”

“Yes?”

“It looks like the news wasn’t properly delivered to the outside world, but instead of Blue Dragon, there is a very large lizard monster that walks on two legs. It’s destroying the village, and Blue Dragon is stopping it.”

Should I touch this man’s head to see if he’s talking nonsense? I had a thought.

If what the man says is true, is he really lucky that he didn’t swing his fist as soon as he saw the blue dragon?

“I’d like to hear your story a little more, is that okay?”

“Well… I’ll give it to you if you buy me a drink.”

“Let’s go. I have to eat too.”

I left the sleeping blue dragon and walked down the street at night, following a man I had never seen before.

*

I showed Eunja to the guesthouse just before closing and ordered some food and drinks.

The man with me started eating with a smile on his face, and he enjoyed it too, since he couldn’t eat anything except breakfast.

After I had filled my stomach to a certain extent, I asked the man who was drinking.

“Would you mind telling me a story about youkai?”

“Ah. That’s right. That’s right. So the first thing that appeared was a two-legged lizard monster. It was spewing fire from its mouth and all the houses around the beach were burning down.”

He nodded, imagining roughly what he looked like.

“As the guy that appeared on the beach pushed straight inland, the fearless Murim people came out first, but because they were so big, there was no response. When the Murim people were defeated, they started sending soldiers from the gwan. Even though they used arrows and artillery as if they were going to war, the two came out. “It’s no wonder that the martial arts people can’t use indigo when they can’t block foot lizards.”

“We were being pushed back like that and then a blue dragon appeared?”

“That’s right. When the two-legged lizard spewed fire, the sky split and the blue dragon came down. I’ve already dealt with the two-legged lizard twice? So, I can only say that he is the blue dragon who protected Hangzhou.”

Said the man, whose face was red from the intoxication.

He felt like he had spent a lot of money to hear a story like this, but in any case, ‘The Heavens Torn’ was worth thinking about.

It was difficult to believe that the Nine-Tailed Fox naturally acquired the power of the Shinigami Beast handled by Kaena.

I think it would be correct to say that he gained power by subduing the Death Beast in his class, but there is also a possibility that that blue dragon is the blue dragon that provided power to Kaena.

‘I need to wake you up and talk to you, but can you talk?’

“Did that blue dragon say anything?”

“Speech? How can a spirit creature like that speak? Unless the two-legged lizard comes, it rests or sleeps over there.”

Since I didn’t seem to have any more information to get from the man, I ordered a lot and stayed with him until he finished drinking the rest of the food, especially the alcohol.

When I ordered food, I rented a room, so I went up to the room, leaving the drunk man with his face on the table.

The owner of the inn looked at me with a bit of resentment as I left the drunk guy alone and went up. You sold a lot, right?

“If you can’t speak, you should have a soul-to-heart conversation.”

I put on my military uniform and came out of the room.

Feeling like a vigilante, as the night fell, the number of people wandering around the Blue Dragon increased, but it was impossible to spot me.

After completely approaching the blue dragon, I lightly tapped its body with a fist filled with soul energy.

*

We have arrived in a pure white world that can be said to be the world of the soul.

Seeing that we could access the spirit world so easily, it seemed like there was quite a difference in class between the two of us.

When I saw the blue dragon from afar, I thought that if I had attacked it without mercy, I would have won in an instant.

In the pure white world, I found a child curled up and not responding when I got close.

However, since I felt like I had experienced something like this before, I called Wozniel, the person involved.

Divine Craft.

Wozniel, who appeared from the spirit world, bowed his head slightly to me first.

“Master.”

“That’s not normal, right?”

“Yes. I feel like I am lacking something. It seems similar to me before I was awakened.”

He put his hand on the blue hair of the motionless guy with his head between his knees and breathed a little bit of divinity.

As the silver divinity enveloped the blue dragon, the blue dragon slowly raised its head.

And then the guy who made eye contact with me opened his mouth.

“It’s not you’m looking for.”

“Are you looking for Kaena?”

“Kaena… Kaena… How do you know?”

At that moment, I felt the blue dragon harboring strong hostility toward me.

“What did you do to your mother?”

As soon as I received the necessary information, I immediately recovered the divinity that had been scattered on the blue dragon’s head.

I escaped from the spirit world, feeling the strong hostility towards me quickly diluting.

*

(If you are unlucky with this, you may have to deal with all the Death Beasts.)

(However, its power is very insufficient compared to its master.)

(Huh? What do you mean, Death Beast?)

Shahemos, who overheard the conversation through the soul, asked us.

(It seems like things that appear to be Kaena’s children have appeared in this world. Among them, the blue dragon was in Hangzhou.)

(Wouldn’t it be okay to just kill him?)

Shahemos, like a devil, suggested a very efficient method.

(First, the problem is that I showed myself fighting for people. I just became unable to kill them.)

(That’s a bit troublesome for the owner who’s pretending to be nice. Then, how about cutting it down at night? It’s still night, right?)

(After I kill the two-legged lizard monster tomorrow and check the blue dragon’s movements… If it’s right to kill it, it will move like that.)

I woke up and looked around to make sure the blue dragon wasn’t making a fuss, and then returned to my guesthouse.
