Chapter 67
0067 : Demon Subduing Hall
It took about half a day to reach the village near Luoyang where Cheon U-jin lives. Originally, it would have taken about three days by horse, but I was able to significantly shorten the distance by capturing Mangnyang and crossing the mountains.
Mangnyang lay behind me, gasping and catching his breath after the rapid journey.
“Ugh… huff… what in the world is happening…”
“I apologize, but I need to save every moment I can.”
“Ah… I’m starting to calm down. But who exactly are you? You seem to know something about my master.”
“Please wait a moment.”
Instead of explaining, I went to the nearby Pine Forest to bury Cheonam Biseo. Since there were no pursuers like the Golden Eagle Guard this time and I knew I could leave quickly, I aimed to avoid any unnecessary conflict with Cheon U-jin. When I returned, I told Mangnyang,
“I feel sorry for springing this on you so suddenly. However, once we stop Ma Lei’s disaster, I promise to explain everything.”
