Chapter 1809 – 1809. Map of the Ascension of Gwangmyeong
I squatted down in front of his corpse, staring at Baekran. Whether it’s a master or a trap, you have to take care of what you need.
‘Heaven is not just money. It’s a treasure that can’t be saved even if you have money.’
Cheonok is a marble containing spiritual energy. It is impossible to absorb it like an elixir, but the heavenly jade is used for magical techniques, crafting, and excellent barriers. It is also used as currency, and its value reaches 100 gold. Things that ordinary people can’t get their hands on even if they wake up from death.
‘And I need this to increase the VIP level of the Cheon Kang-seong system.’
The first thing that came out of the merchant’s bosom was the 11th Bloodjo Mu Gongseo. A martial arts book possessed by witchcraft that is said to be bloody martial arts or something. It was garbage, so he threw it roughly, but Baekran held it in his hand.
“Tithe blood? Is it incompetent?”
“Ah, that.”
Before even saying that there is an enchantment, he opens a martial arts book. And in exactly 5 seconds, the martial arts book was covered.
“If you are unmanned, you have no choice but to catch the bait…. You cleverly dug a trap.”
“Did you recognize it right away?”
“Because I have been greatly affected by witchcraft and witchcraft. Even though I can’t use it, I studied it. Knowing this will make it easier for you not to fall for it. Do you really need this?”
“No, I don’t really need it.”
“Then I will burn it. Even if they exist in this world, they are of no use whatsoever.”
Roaring!
Sammae evolution occurs and burns martial arts books at once. The traces of ashes were blown away by the wind.
“Do you know what the enchantment is in that book and burn it?”
“Brainwashing. It’s the poorest quality among magic spells. Maybe he took control of his unconscious first and was brainwashed. So slowly brainwashing your mind… By the time you realize the strangeness, you have already reached a point where there is no turning back.”
While listening to Baekran’s words, he took out a pouch from the corpse’s bosom. When I opened the pouch, there were 4 heaven jade inside.
‘Are there only four?’
I clicked my tongue in regret. It was surprising that the guy who sold martial arts books had only this much.
I moved aside and headed for another corpse. There were quite a few corpses killed by Baekran. I searched for it, but there were no pockets. So did the other corpses.
“Are these guys all dog hair?”
“Ah, I took their pockets. Is there no sin in wealth? They say it’s more or less good.”
Crinkling my eyebrows, I got up from my seat and glared at Baekran.
“Why didn’t you tell me that earlier?”
“I forgot because it was fun watching you.”
Baekran said with a smile on his lips. It was shameless. But he wasn’t too angry when he saw that pretty face. He generously agreed to move on.
‘It’s not even the ones I killed… Just kill the other guys.’
I brushed off the blood on my hands.
This is a trap. I still don’t know exactly what they’re trying to do by trapping me and Baekran, but the justification is on this side.
‘It’s rather good. Even if you kill and steal, there’s nothing wrong with that.’
Baekran stares at this side. It’s puzzled. He couldn’t read the inside. It’s so suspicious that I wonder if Baekran was the one who devised this trap.
Of course, that’s kind of suspicious. If she really is in charge of this trap, she doesn’t have to go out like this. And she wouldn’t have killed them either.
“Baekran. I have an offer.”
“Something.”
“Let’s turn this trap over and share the elixirs and magic tools and other items. 5 vs 5.”
“Are you thinking of escaping from here?”
“It’s a trap they worked so hard on. I can’t let go easily You probably won’t be able to escape because of the barrier.”
“Right. It’s easy to get in, but it’s a difficult barrier to get out.”
“So what are you going to do with my proposal?”
“I will accept it. But don’t worry too much. They expect us to join forces.”
I nodded.
“Most of them are dumbfounded, but there is a high possibility that there are more warriors like Hong Kang-hu who have reached the five qi.”
“Perhaps there may be absolute adherents who have reached the Three Kingdoms.”
Samjeong (三頂)
The realm of the Munju class of the Daemun faction. In terms of the Demonic Cult and the Murim League, it could be said to be at the elder level.
“That seems like a bit of a leap. Why would an absolute master do such a thing? At that level, you would be treated well wherever you go.”
“Everyone has their own circumstances. Don’t think common sense. Isn’t there a law that absolute adherence is human?”
Right. Even a monster could become an absolute master. And youkai can’t mix with Murim. It’s because it’s rare for youkai to practice martial arts, and now, when emperors rule, it’s the era of humans.
“Do you have any plans?”
“There is nothing. What about you?”
“Let’s just wipe them all together. When an absolute master appears… Kill them together.”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea. Why don’t you think about it some more?”
“… Can’t you think?”
“You said you would become the Heavenly Demon. Could it be because the Heavenly Demon couldn’t come up with a plan like this? Let him roll his head once. I’ll follow your plan if I think it’s moderately okay.”
I made an impression. I didn’t like using my hair. It’s easier to just go and sweep it. I keep thinking that it will be okay if it is with Baekran. Yeom Guseok, who I am currently acting in, will think so too.
‘… I look at you with so much embarrassment What does he expect from me?’
Anyway, it seemed like he was expecting something, so he had to come up with a plan. I roll my head that doesn’t turn. What I can do, what they have, the current situation.
‘There is no pursuit of them. If they knew our location, they would have sent in their power to deal with it. Even if they don’t pursue it, do you think things will eventually go their way?’
When I shook my head, I felt frustrated. I took out a can of Coke and forgot. The sweet carbonation relieved the stuffiness a little.
“… It smells sweet. Is it a bottle made of iron? Um, I guess not… It’s a bottle of unusual material. That… Is it Coke? Could it be that you’re being mean and drinking alone?”
“One thousand jade in one.”
“It is expensive. But if I miss it, I have a feeling that I won’t be able to eat it again…. Ugh.”
After thinking about her for a long time, she took out her space box from her bosom. I handed him a Coke ahead of him. She had no intention of acting like her bully against her.
“It is a joke. Just eat.”
“I will drink well.”
She looked at a can of Coke, then opened the can and drank a Coke, just like I did earlier. A smile is drawn on her lips.
I said, stepping on an empty can.
“Disguise.”
“Yes?”
“They disguise themselves and hide in the market. We’re not the only ones caught in this trap. He hides himself and finds and kills the owner of the Yuun Chamber. Or negotiate. Negotiation is, of course, the last option. Killing the merchant or robbing his pocket.”
“It is much better than all-out war. I’m talking about saving energy. What are you going to do with your disguise?”
I took out the bast face and clothes from the space box.
“I’ll lend it to you if you need it.”
“It’s okay. I have it too.”
Bast cotton and clothes were also found in Baekran’s space box. The bast face she had looked much better than mine.
“You carry something like that?”
Is it a salsu raised in the real imperial family?
“What are you so surprised about? Aren’t you carrying it too?”
She had nothing to refute. From her point of view, I might look more like a weirdo. Because they have steak, cola, and strange food. When I played the mafia game in earnest, I was at a disadvantage, so I skipped it.
We disguised ourselves away from each other and out of sight.
The disguised Baekran completely hid her original dazzling beauty. He was disguised as an ordinary male warrior. The workmanship was so subtle that it was difficult to tell them apart even with my own eyes.
“Awesome. It’s not something I’ve done once or twice.”
“That’s what I’m going to say. Looking at that perfect disguise, it looks like you’ve done a lot of stealth too.”
“There is still more to do.”
There is a saying in Gangho to be careful of children and the elderly. He means to be vigilant and not to judge others based on their appearance. And skilled strongmen don’t judge opponents based on their appearance.
‘I have to hide my energy.’
Baekran and I have five qi. Realizing the properties of qi and controlling it in earnest. It’s normal to hide your energy.

“Father!”
Kanghu Hong turned her head to the sound of her son’s voice calling her name. Hong Je-yu looks at herself with her fists clenched as if impatient.
“Why?”
Hong Kang-hu asked even though he knew the answer.
“Baekran! We must catch her as soon as possible!”
“After. Calm down. Once in the market, you can’t go out. The trap had already caught the woman by the leg. Don’t you know too?”
“If I get caught too late, I won’t have time to enjoy her! Besides, her other goons might covet her! Father!”
“Wait. You can’t miss work because of your greed. Do not forget that the prey continues to flow in even now.”
Hong Kang-hu let out a sigh. Hong Je-yu fell for Baek-ran, a woman from the imperial family. She deserved it and she did. Baekran’s beauty is superior to that of the beauties she has seen in her entire life. Even though her white hair was sinister, she couldn’t hide her beauty.
‘Even so, she’s too much for women. My training is lacking.’
His son, Hong Je-yu, is a warrior who has risen to the realm of elixir. He is not good enough to be called a genius, but he has no talent. However, he is not mature because he has been training for less than his realm. He has an immature side because he can’t even take a proper risk.
‘I know that just being cheap isn’t good enough. However….’
Hong Je-yu was too cautious. If he is neglected even a little, he seems to be screaming and dying.
‘At least I’ll be able to feel completely at ease when I go up to Ogikyung.’
And he himself rises to the realm of the Three Kingdoms.
“… Father. I’ve been thinking about it, and I’m going to have to look after my children too, right?”
Hong Kang-hu narrowed her eyebrows at once.
“I hope that woman… ?”
“Baekran is her beauty and talent. Don’t you have both? She deserves to be my wife!”
“Can not be done! She feeds that woman! There are no exceptions as things are already in progress! Jeyu, the world is wide. There are plenty of women like that, so throw away her dangerous greed! Got it? Answer me!”
After Hong Kang, Ho ruler Hong Zeyu replied reluctantly, narrowing his shoulders.
“… All right.”
Hong Kang-hu carefully patted her son on the shoulder.
“Don’t be discouraged. There are many better women than her in this world.”
“Yes.”
The eyes of Hong Je-yu, who lowered his head, shone dangerously.
