Episode 329: Bounty Hunter (2)
The entrance to Na Jin-hyeon’s governnt office was more noisy than ever.
Officials and warriors. Plus, the onlookers. It was hot even in the middle of the night.
There was only one reason.
“That guy is a non-light demon?”
“But why is your face so puffy?”
“Why? “You must have been beaten by Mr. Eumgoe.”
“Are you alive?”
A person covered in blood was sprawled out on the floor.
At that ti, Podu squatted down and started hitting him on the cheek. The intention is to wake him up from his fainting.
It was only after a while that the eyes of the non-glowing demon, swollen like toads, slowly opened.
“Ouch…”
Podu asked, holding his hair.
“Say what is right. “What happened?”
When there was no answer, a middle-aged martial artist standing behind him helped with the questioning.
“What did you do wrong to this bastard?”
The face of the non-light-colored demon was full of resentnt.
He spat out just one word, his face trembling as if he was shaking.
“I…I’m…guilty…”
“What? Guilty of wireless? “Are you saying you were treated like that because you didn’t have money?”
I couldn’t understand what everyone was saying.
When the non-light-colored demon lost consciousness again, Podu looked around and shouted.
“First, tie him up and drag him away.”
This is because interrogation was not possible.
When the police were tying his arms. Soone shouted from behind.
“Governor Wang Hui has arrived!”
As a governor, he was the highest official in charge of the people’s livelihood in Najin County.
Soon, a carriage arrived with the sound of horses neighing.
A plump, middle-aged man wearing official uniform got out of the carriage.
The officials clasped their hands toward him.
“See you, Governor.”
Wang Hui waddled over and asked bluntly.
“Murim’s Eumgoe appeared in this village?”
Podu said, bowing his head in front of him.
“yes. Do you know him?”
“Why do not you know!? “Didn’t you receive the order from the provincial commander?”
“I received it. If you encounter a yin-yang twin monster, cooperate unconditionally, regardless of the reason…”
The provincial commander was Hwang So-cheon, the commander of the Golden Army, and one of the most powerful people in the country. At the sa ti, he was also the captain of the Changryongdae, whose identity was hidden.
He had previously sent such instructions to governnt offices throughout the Central Plains.
After a while, Wang Hui clicked his tongue as he looked at the non-glow ghosts lying on the floor.
“That idiot. After running away for so long, I was caught. “Where has he gone, anyway?”
“He left imdiately after receiving the bounty.”
“Where?”
After hesitating for a mont, Podu extended his index finger toward the sky.
“Climb through the window and into the sky…”
“Is this guy playing with ?”
“It’s true. “Everyone here saw it together.”
When I looked around, other officials were also nodding their heads.
I couldn’t believe it, but Wang Hui couldn’t say anything more about the matter.
Instead, he complained to them.
“You don’t know how much I suffered from the police because you couldn’t catch even one of these guys. “If it wasn’t for Eumgoe, my hair would have blown off.”
“There is no excuse. “We should have arrested him a long ti ago.”
At that ti, Wang Hui, who was looking around, pointed his index finger at the wall of the governnt office.
“Wait a minute… who tore that up? Who dared to damage the wanted leaflets distributed by the imperial family?”
Podu widened his eyes and was embarrassed.
“Huh? “It was just fine until a little while ago.”
Wang Hui placed his hand on his forehead as if he had a headache.
This is because the case was under investigation by the National Investigation Agency of the central governnt office. There was nothing good about this unfortunate situation happening again and again.
At that ti, one of the martial arts people who had been watching silently nearby joined the conversation.
“Are you talking about Fang Miao’s wanted poster for escaping from the imperial palace prison? “The great tyranny of evil has been torn apart.”
At that mont, Wang Hui clapped his hands with a bright expression.
A crisis is an opportunity.
It was a situation where performance could be inflated by reporting the goal of the gold mine, which was the military’s biggest concern, to the upper governnt.
“Anyway, good job everyone. “The brothers from Murim also had a hard ti.”
After speaking, he got into the carriage and imdiately left for sowhere.
And the crowd that had gathered began to leave the place one by one. Because there was nothing more to see.
At that ti, one of the martial artists approached the officials and asked quietly.
“Brothers. But who is Bang Myo?”
“How can you not know that famous guy? “He was the worst assassin, murdering mbers of the royal family during tis of war.”
When it ca to matters related to the imperial family, the area was different from Gangho.
No matter how good a master he was, it was not strange for a martial artist to not know sothing.
“Was he that great?”
“Don’t even talk. Because he was a vicious guy who killed a thousand soldiers by himself when he escaped from prison. “He is also a legendary assassin who is nicknad Dark Soul.”
“But how much was the bounty on that guy?”
The official looked up at the sky and muttered softly.
“This is what was written on the leaflet distributed by the imperial family. “I will award one hundred nyang of silver and the title of Jejeolsa to the official who arrests the weightlifter Fang Myo.”
There were not as many financial rewards as expected. It was only about ten tis the size of a non-light demon.
But the next conditions were extrely unconventional.
“If you are a temperanceist, are you of high rank?”
“Although it is an honorary position, it is an official position of the highest rank. “If soone other than an official catches him, the reward might be different.”
“iced coffee. Thanks for letting know, bro. Lastly, I would like to ask you one more question. “Are you saying that the tomb is here now?”
“How should I know that? “There are only rumors that the last victim occurred in Shaanxi.”

anwhile, the three people who departed from Peedo Gate were moving toward Seongsan.
Yujinsan Yanggoe and Baekgyu, the ruler of Paedomun. In addition, there is the apostate monk Jeonghye. It was an unlikely combination, but the three got along surprisingly well.
Wasn’t there a ti in the past when they launched a joint attack against a monster from heaven?
We spent half a day traveling without any special events.
It wasn’t until it got dark that we settled down on an unknown mountain. It was to rest.
Jeonghye was mindlessly eating beef jerky, and Baekgyu was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed.
And Yu Jin-san was looking at the moonlight and reminiscing about soone.
‘What is our Seol doing right now? There shouldn’t be any trouble.’
Yu Jin-san was only worried about his granddaughter whether she was asleep or awake.
What on earth are you doing here without even saying a word? I have nowhere to go alone.
He himself could not be criticized as he had not co down from the mountain for three months.
At that ti, I heard Baekgyu’s voice next to .
“Don’t worry too much. “I’ll just have fun and not co back when the ti cos.”
“You read my thoughts like a ghost.”
“haha. Am I spending a day or two with you? By the way, I heard that my nephew is going to fight against the Murim Lord.”
“That’s right. “There’s already a rumor going around the neighborhood.”
A faint smile appeared on Baekgyu’s face.
“It’s Kangho’s biggest topic, who doesn’t know? “Maybe when that day cos, a huge crowd will co.”
“hmm. “What does your brother think of that confrontation?”
“Wouldn’t it be the battle of generals that determines victory or defeat in a war? “The outco will determine the fate of the governnt.”
“What you said is right. If Seol Yi defeats the leader in front of everyone, the Murim Alliance, an alliance of political factions, will no longer be able to maintain itself. “You will be shaken from your roots.”
Baekgyu narrowed his small eyes even more and asked.
“What on earth are you planning?”
Yujiksan quietly let out a word.
“Murim unity.”
“Fuha! “Are you really going to rule the martial arts world in the na of Yin Kai?”
“Well, the process may be important, but if you look at the result, it’s not wrong.”
“haha. Anyway, I’m definitely on your side and Seol’s side. “Paedomoon will be with you until the end, so you can do whatever you want.”
“Thank you. “It won’t be easy, but I’ll try my best.”
Baekgyu nodded and said.
“By the way, there is a rumor going around that the Murim Lord has also entered closed-gwan training. “It seems like the upcoming confrontation is a matter of life and death, so you’d better not let your guard down.”
“I understand. “Let’s rest here today and leave tomorrow when the sun rises.”
At that mont, Jeonghye, who was eating beef jerky, jumped up from her seat.
“No, we have to leave now!!”
He seed to be in a hurry.
Baek-gyu spoke as if scolding him.
“monk. To fight properly, we also need to have enough luck. Moreover, considering his moving speed, there is still plenty of ti.”
But Baek-gyu’s words did not even reach Jeong-hye’s ears.
Even though he went out of his mind, his desire to protect Shaolin Temple did not seem to change.
Finally, he grabbed Jinsan’s arm while he was sitting and started pulling.
“Wake up quickly, bro! “We have to go to Songshan now!!”
Yu Jin-san also had no choice but to reluctantly leave and get up.
“after. “This is going to be really cool.”
* * *
A painting room in Shunyang Village, southern Shaanxi Province.
Baek Yo-ran, the goddess of the mind’s eye, was sitting alone in her office, drinking tea.
At that ti, a woman’s voice was heard from the door.
“Ark. “A guest has arrived.”
“You’re a guest. who?”
“This is the shady monster I visited last ti.”
Baek Yo-ran tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
Why did Eum-gae suddenly co to see ? I couldn’t guess the reason, but there was also no reason to avoid it.
“Ask them to co in. “They also bring you a glass of warm milk.”
“Yes, Ark.”
After a while, the door opened and a familiar girl appeared.
A pretty face with a pinkish suit. In his left hand, he was holding a bladeless red spear, and in his right hand, he was clutching a bundle.
“Why did our pretty little girl co to visit her grandmother?”
“I want to ask you sothing.”
“OK. Co on, sit down and talk.”
Yu Seol sat down across from her and asked in a trembling voice.
“grandma. “Did you… do it with my grandpa last ti?”
“What are you doing? “Ask so that you can understand.”
Yu Seol blushed and slightly lowered her head.
“Po… I an kiss.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Baekyoran started laughing.
“Huh. Yes I did! “He’s such a child that I don’t even feel it.”
“Oh what should I do….”
“Gasp. What should I do? What should I do? So, hurry up and tell your grandfather to take responsibility for .”
Yu Seol pursed his lips and remained silent for a mont.
It seed like he was organizing his thoughts in his own way.
After a while, he placed a small bundle on the table and asked.
“Please calculate this first. Are you going to buy it expensively?”
When I unpacked the bag, it was full of valuable trinkets and jewels.
“You’ve collected a lot. “Where did you get all this from?”
“This is the loot I’ve collected so far.”
“hmm. It will take so ti to calculate, right? “I guess I’ll have to wait a bit.”
Yu Seol nodded and took out sothing else from her pocket.
It was a wanted flyer with soone’s face drawn on it.
“grandma. But do you know where he is? “Have you heard any news?”
