Chapter 238 – 238. The Underworld

It took a long time to prepare for the capture of the demonic realm where the yellow dragon resided. From my family returning from work, the leader was also working hard to entice the mountain soldiers.
Although the mountain soldiers are crazy about fighting, Green Forest is still the arena of great power.

He said that he was not the type to see good things second and only see losses unilaterally, so he negotiated again and even paid for the match.

And I was thinking of taking Dokgoja with me on this occasion. Although it is impossible to take Mujin or Hyeonjung because of Dokgo’s secret history, isn’t Dokgoja a key figure deeply involved in this matter?
Since the state is also a flower garden, the minimum conditions that the leader said were being complied with.
So at least give him a choice.

It wasn’t long before I was called to the drinking room.
Dokgoja, slightly sweaty, knocked on the doorstep and entered.

“Excuse me. Danju, what did you call me for?”
“There is a story we talked about while negotiating the compensation for the designation request the other day.

Startle.

Dokgoja frowned at the expression ‘unofficial’. It seemed that he had an instinctive intuition that the leader had given the designation request unofficially.
I mean, it’s a request that’s related to you.

He’s also a master of hwagyeong, so there was nothing strange about his sharp intuition.

“The content is the attack of the Yellow Dragon, the source of eating poison.”
“That’s…!”
“Yes. It’s the origin and starting point of the Yellow Dragon God, which you hate so much. Surprisingly, Lord Maeng also hates the Yellow Dragon God like you. It’s a cursed power that makes family members bleed.”
“Did your father say that?”

A solitary man with an expression of disbelief. I smiled bitterly at him.
As I had heard about the leader several times from post-war singles with an emphasis on returning, I could see that he had prejudices.

It was because the leader I had a direct conversation with wasn’t a person with such a strong inhumane side. Rather, it only seemed that way because there was too much responsibility.

“After talking directly, I realized that you were misunderstanding something. Lord Maeng had no choice but to have the Yellow Dragon Sacred Art.
“Why can’t I help it?”
“The Yellow Dragon is a life-and-death level monster.”
“…”

When he mentioned the state of Hwangryong, he was a dokgoja who shut his mouth and became convinced without the need to persuade him. The appearance of a state that can only be found in the tale of life and death will only feel unrealistic to him, who is still a hwagyeong.

Considering that it takes at least three Hwa-kyungs to deal with one Hyun-kyung, I can’t imagine what it would be like to go beyond that.
Even that is based on the premise of playing ‘opponent’, but the strong people’s evaluation is that you need seven Hwagyeong to predict the odds. If so, how many masters at the level of Hyungyeong are needed to deal with Saengsakyung?

“So… Did you tell me to learn the Golden Dragon Art?”
“Yes. There is no master of the hyeongyeong who would risk his life like straw to catch a great monster on the level of life and death. .”
“But that’s what happened. A faction that has several masters of the hyeongyeong that can be brought in at once.”
“That’s right. That’s our Uicheondan. Starting with me, my two wives, my older sister who will accept more in the future, and Seo Jin-i, the five of them, the guy called Jecheon Daeseong. .”

If it weren’t for a group with a special environment like us, the leader might not have even attempted to attack the Yellow Dragon.
Maybe he secretly challenged the Devil’s Palace alone and died without even knowing the mouse or bird.

I wonder if they just formed a small group of elites aimed at strengthening their forces in preparation for the future, and accidentally became a group that met the purpose of the leader. To be honest, no matter how powerful you are against the great youkai of life and death, it is meaningless if the elite are weak.
Wasn’t that proved by the blue dragon appearing in the North Sea out of nowhere and wiping out nearly half of the elite of Ice Palace?

‘Honestly, if I were the Hyungyeong, I would have refused.’

Beating a life-and-death level great monster with seven prefectures? You could call it crazy. The success in killing the Yellow Dragon in the future was only possible because the blood demon was a master of the life and death world. To be honest, it is my judgment that Hyeon-gyeong alone cannot cross the stage of the world of life and death.
Wouldn’t it be better if about twenty soldiers from the Hyungyeong came and hit Dagul? Or that the enemy of the life-or-death level is a human being, not a great youkai.

I would unintentionally reveal my true skills to the leader, but it was strange that the leader did not know that the father-in-law, the Heavenly Demon, knew about it. If it’s at the level of a leader level, it would be nice to reveal my status.
Because I confirmed the other day that I’m not such a bad person.

“Anyway, I was asked to bring a group of pros and cons, armed with more than hwagyeong. To be honest, I wanted to take only my girls, but it’s meaningful to you. Personally, it’s very dangerous, so I recommend not taking you, but I’m your doctor. I want to respect you.”

After he laughed, he said in a funny voice.

“You have accomplished greatness as Geumgang Cheongoegong by yourself. Just by looking at that willpower alone, I think there’s a good chance you’ll do something close to a miracle. So I’d like to leave it up to you. What should I do?”
“I…”

Dokgoja closes his eyes and is immersed in contemplation. His hand, which inadvertently climbed onto his sword wave, gripped him tightly. Perhaps because he was a swordsman, the guy who unconsciously held the sword was a master called the swordsman of this generation.
It took quite a long time for the guy who put his grip on the back of his hand to the point where the tendons tingled.

After waiting patiently and calmly, the guy who opened his eyes before he knew it had clear eyes as if he had opened his eyes to something.

“Have you made your decision?”
“I’m going. I’ll go to Huanglong with my father and cut off Sega’s karma.”
“Okay. Then, let’s recruit you from the number of people for this raid. It’s not long before we start raiding, so while drinking elixirs, increase your inner strength.”
“I don’t think my internal energy will increase to the extent that I can feel it if I drink the elixir of yawning now…”
“Who said they feed on vulgar things like yawning?”
“Well?”

I should take this opportunity to show him some of my treasured items.
I got up from my seat and gestured to follow him with my chin.

“I’ll show you something nice. You’ll be surprised if you see it too.”

Take Dokgoja and leave Shinhyeopgwan. Then, I head to the black plum house, which is my family’s house, a short distance away, to be exact, to the building next to it, the warehouse.

Dokgoja’s eyes widen when he first sets foot in the warehouse of the Black Mae Hall, not the warehouse of the Sinhyup Hall.

The colorful elixir and inner hem shine brilliantly in the transparent storage box processed with magic. In addition, various weapons made from by-products of monsters were giving off an unusual atmosphere.
I feel like I’m staring at you, probably because there are a few that contain the evil thoughts of a youkai.

“This place?”
“The place where my family kept the rewards of the Devil’s Land that I personally found and solved.”
“…We didn’t know about it because it wasn’t collected through the Uicheondan.”
“That’s right. Honestly, didn’t you think it was strange that the prefecture-level personnel were often away, though not often?”
“Not really? Because I believed that you weren’t a person like that.”

I tried to be moved by those words.

“All of the Uicheon members once said at a drinking party that they could trust you as long as it wasn’t for the women’s problem. I think so too.
“…Cibalroms. When did I ever commit an affair? Why can’t you believe it because of women?”

I’ve never stolen someone else’s woman, so why is there such a reputation? I was sincerely sorry.

However, Dokgoja, who heard my complaint, raised one eyebrow and spoke to me in a bloody voice.

“Don’t say that anywhere. You can’t be criticized just for taking all these beauties to yourself. Probably half of the strong men are desperately hoping for you to die.”
“…I admit that.”

To be honest, four of my women are masters who have reached the status quo. It is obvious how my behavior, which seems to have taken over all female high school students, will be seen in the eyes of the same male students.
So, as a man, I decided to understand that kind of life.

“So, what brought me here?”
“Dokgogu Sword is definitely a powerful sword, but it is a super-killing sword for humans. .It’s best to rise to a higher level, but right now it’s close to impossible.”
“So you’re saying we’ll give you elixirs and weapons?”
“That’s right. First of all, you have to have a lot of inner strength to prepare a stepping stone to the next level. A powerful weapon is a great help to a master.”

Actually, I thought I could just borrow a good weapon.

The moment I saw the look in the eyes of the guy who made up his mind, my thoughts changed. You could say it was intuition, or it was good to see it as a master’s future foresight based on the judgment of the five senses.

For some reason, I thought that he, who was only a Hwagyeong, would fight the Yellow Dragon.
He had already guessed with certainty that such was his fate.
