The World's Greatest Troublemaker

It's something I don't know at all.

The White Butterfly Fairy looked at Mok Wigun with a surprised expression.

"How strange. You don't know about that incident."

"It must have been too long ago. I've never heard of it."

"Well. I guess children these days could be like that."

The White Butterfly Fairy surprisingly said she was over eighty years old. Although she looked to be in her twenties or thirties.

"It's a story I've also heard, but there has never been such an incident in the history of the martial world."

About a hundred years ago, when the war between the righteous and demonic factions was in full swing, strange things suddenly happened here and there. Buildings disappeared in their entirety, and people also disappeared. There were also cases where treasures disappeared without a trace.

"They say masters also suddenly died."

The ground shook, and mountains collapsed. The course of the water changed. No one cared about the war between the righteous and demonic factions. What's the use of that when you don't know when you'll die? Everyone lived in hiding, worrying about what would happen next.

"And there was a problem here too. The barrier was broken. And outsiders came in."

She said the people of the Folding Snow Valley had treated the outsiders well. But the treasure was the problem. They had harmed the people of the Folding Snow Valley and had run away with the treasure. Among them was also the martial arts manual that had been passed down in the Folding Snow Valley.

"If it weren't for that person's help, everyone would have died."

"If it's the fire carp's ability..."

"It's a pity. If only the martial arts that disappeared then had remained, it would have been very different from now."

The current military power of the Folding Snow Valley is by no means low. Because it is full of first-rate masters. Even when he had looked around briefly earlier, there were hundreds of people who were at the level of a first-rate master.

"If the martial arts had remained, even Shaolin or Wudang would have been no match."

"Of course. It's not just any martial art. It's the martial art of the immortal who made the barrier here."

She said the barrier here was made a very long time ago. The immortal had been wandering the world and had discovered this place, and he had made the barrier, saying that if this place was revealed to the world, there would be great chaos. And he had brought about a hundred people to protect it and had taught them martial arts.

"The martial art of an immortal."

"It's all because of human greed. And it's because the barrier was destroyed!"

Since there were such circumstances, it was not unreasonable for them to be hostile to people.

"But isn't it frustrating to just stay inside the barrier here?"

"You know my age, yet why do you treat me like that?"

Mok Wigun chuckled.

"I'm also old. I can do that enough, so let's move on."

The White Butterfly Fairy had a disbelieving expression. But isn't she the same if you just look at her appearance?

"Well, seeing you with that person, you don't seem to be an ordinary human..."

"This place is good, but I don't think I could live here for the rest of my life."

It's a place like the Peach Blossom Spring or paradise. Strange flowers and plants and beautiful scenery. But what if you had to live only here?

"This place is the safest. I think it's best to live inside here."

The White Butterfly Fairy's thoughts were firm. And in reality, she was thinking so.

"But what about other people?"

"They are the same. If you go outside, you'll only see dirty things. The most untrustworthy thing is a person."

It's true to some extent. But Mok Wigun had seen the reactions of the people here when he had looked around earlier. They were very curious about Mok Wigun and Pyon Juksu. He had also heard them talking about their curiosity about the outside world.

"We are living peacefully and happily inside here. So don't think of doing anything foolish."

"I wonder. I think other people's thoughts are different."

People had gathered around where they were talking. Perhaps because of the White Butterfly Fairy, they couldn't come close, but they were curious about this side.

"I don't think it's good to force it on other people unconditionally."

"It's for them. There's nothing good about going outside."

"There's no absolute. Thoughts can be different. And I admit that the outside is dangerous. But there are also good things."

Although Mok Wigun spoke in a way that she could understand, the White Butterfly Fairy didn't even try to listen.

"They say you only get more stubborn as you get older, and that seems to be true."

It's different, not wrong. What is right and what is wrong? There is no such thing. There are just things that each person wants.

Mok Wigun gestured to the people who were watching. To come this way. At that, one person approached, fidgeting. Mok Wigun asked him.

"Are you curious about the outside world?"

He answered while looking at the White Butterfly Fairy's expression.

"If possible, I'd like to go outside and see. Not just go out for a moment, but go out and live..."

"Absurd!"

The White Butterfly Fairy burst into anger.

"Didn't I tell you repeatedly that you shouldn't go out from here?"

"I know that. But I'm just curious..."

There are many people who have never been outside the barrier in their entire lives. Why wouldn't they be curious? But since the White Butterfly Fairy was so strongly opposed, everyone was holding their breath. At that, Seomun Daecheol, who was watching, walked out from among them.

"Fairy. You can't keep people locked up forever. You know that. How happy the people here were when the manor was built."

The first thing Seomun Daecheol did after meeting the White Butterfly Fairy, surrendering, and deciding to cooperate was to build a manor. Even when building it, they had said they would go and build it themselves. Although it was hard labor, it was that enjoyable to go outside the barrier.

When choosing the people to stay at the manor, it was even more of a mess. To the point where they would even get into a fistfight, saying they would go. The people's desire to go out into the outside world was already on the verge of exploding.

"No. It's dangerous. I can't stand by and watch my family suffer in the outside world."

Mok Wigun, who had been listening to their conversation quietly, slyly intervened.

"Then how about this?"

Mok Wigun said he would take the people.

"If the people here wander around by themselves, there will be problems, but it will be much better if they are under me."

He can't say that nothing will happen. But it will be safer than any other method.

"That's good. If it's this group, wouldn't we be able to trust and entrust them to some extent?"

"Entrust them to this person?"

The White Butterfly Fairy seemed to be very troubled. Perhaps she had also realized to some extent that she couldn't keep people locked up forever. At that, the man who had said he wanted to go out knelt down and said.

"Please allow it."

At that, a few more people came and did the same thing.

"Please allow it. Fairy."

The White Butterfly Fairy looked at them with a pitiful expression.

"Do you want to go out that much?"

"Yes. Fairy. I'm dying of curiosity about the outside world."

She sighed as if she couldn't help it.

"Alright. Then those who will follow this person, get ready. You, figure out how many and who, and let me know."

"Really? Fairy?"

The man in his early thirties, who had first said he wanted to go out, stood up and said. He was smiling brightly, and his expression was as if he had the whole world.

"You damn brat. You seem so happy to leave my side."

"Ah... no, that's..."

He was flustered and stuttered. But the White Butterfly Fairy smiled as if she knew everything and said.

"I'm allowing it because this person said he would protect you. If not for that, I would never have allowed it."

After saying that, she turned her head towards Mok Wigun and said.

"Please take good care of them. Can you take good care of them?"

"Of course! I'll take responsibility and take care of them."

The White Butterfly Fairy, as if she was still not at ease, asked again.

"Taking responsibility is not that simple. You know that, right?"

"Of course. Why wouldn't I know that?"

He had led countless people and had fought a war for a very long time. He knew better than anyone else what it meant to take responsibility for someone.

"I know the weight well, so you don't have to worry. Instead, these people must unconditionally follow my words."

"If you don't make them do anything strange, they will follow your words. I will make sure to tell them that."

"And if I think it's not right or if they want to, I will send them back here at any time."

She was satisfied with those words. As it was decided, the work proceeded quickly. They received applications for people who would go out with Mok Wigun, and more people applied than he had thought.

About a hundred people said they would follow Mok Wigun. And most of them were men in their twenties and thirties. And almost all of them knew how to do martial arts. Mok Wigun suddenly gained about a hundred martial artists.

"Whew. There are more than I thought."

Pyon Juksu, who had stopped fixing the barrier, came and watched.

"I was planning to recruit Light Wind Unit members anyway, so it's a good thing."

"Are their skills good?"

"Most are above first-rate. There are also a few at the peak."

Pyon Juksu's eyes widened as if he was surprised.

"Isn't that much stronger than the Wind Squad?"

Is the Wind Squad the problem? It would not be much inferior even when compared to the entire power of the Mok family. That was when comparing only the seven Light Wind Unit members and the hundred people who would go with them, excluding Mok Wigun and Pyon Juksu.

"Now it feels like something. It felt empty because the number was too small before."

"This is just the beginning."

Mok Wigun thought that the foundation had just been laid.

* * *

"There's a little more work to do here, so get ready."

"I understand. Young master."

The man who had approached when Mok Wigun had gestured. Ho Jewon answered. He was a master who had reached the peak, and he was very active. So when he was given a task, he would think about the parts that were not mentioned and take care of them. Thanks to that, it was very easy to work.

Mok Wigun gave Ho Jewon such instructions and then went to where the party was waiting.

"Really?"

"Really?"

The Hwangbo siblings were startled and happy at the words that he would give them a spiritual elixir.

"Since I got two, I'll give you one."

Mok Wigun showed the fire carp's inner core and the fruit of the thousand-year-old flower spirit grass. They were both overwhelmed with emotion, and Hwangbo Ryeong even had tears in her eyes.

"The Hwangbo family will pay you back properly."

"Rather than just buying and selling, I'd like it if Hwangbo Ryeong could help me for a while."

Mok Wigun said two things.

"Since you seem to have a lot of knowledge about spiritual elixirs and medicinal herbs, I'd like you to help Physician Pyon a little."

"Yes. I'd like that too."

Hwangbo Jun also nodded his head. Because he had seen for himself that Hwangbo Ryeong had been continuously talking with Physician Pyon about spiritual creatures, spiritual elixirs, and medicinal herbs on their way here.

"And I'd like you to help with the manor's work. I think there will be a lot of work because the scale is going to get a little bigger."

"Leave that to me too. I also did a lot of office work when I was at the family."

She said that since she also had experience at the family, she would definitely be of help. She also said that since she was receiving a spiritual elixir that would cure her father, she could do that much.

"Alright. Then you two stay here for a while, and the Light Wind Unit, follow me."

"Yes. Young master."

The seven Light Wind Unit members followed Mok Wigun and moved.

"But where are we going now?"

Dan Bulseok asked. Mok Wigun said in a tone as if it was nothing.

"We're going to catch a human-faced spider."
