The World's Greatest Troublemaker

Chapter 67

With a thud, the body of the Banryong Fortress master collapsed to the ground. His head fell next to his body with a plop.

"I can't believe it."

Hwangbo Jun muttered. Hwangbo Jun was also a child of a prestigious family. He had seen countless masters. The leader of the Seokmun Sect and the master of the Banryong Fortress were clearly peak masters. But they were being played with.

"They say there are as many unknown masters in the world as there are grains of sand."

While Hwangbo Jun was admiring, the situation was as good as over. The two strongest masters had died without being able to use their strength properly. There was nothing left but to die if they stayed.

"Ugh-ah-ah!"

The bandits and the Seokmun Sect minions scattered in all directions and began to flee. The Light Wind Unit threw themselves forward, chasing and cutting down the guys.

"Leave them be."

They couldn't catch them all anyway. But the members seemed to be disappointed. They didn't like the fact that they had just let go of the guys who didn't need to be kept alive.

"Wouldn't it have been better to catch as many as possible?"

"We can't catch them all anyway. We don't know what kind of situation we'll fall into while chasing them."

And there was another reason.

"The guys who ran away have to be there for the story to spread."

If only a few guys ran away, they would try to hide, but since quite a large number had run away, he said the rumor would spread quickly. At that, Hwangbo Jun said.

"Ah! If the rumor spreads, they won't be able to do such things here."

Hwangbo Jun was impressed. If it was the Seokmun Sect and the Banryong Fortress, they were places with considerable power in this vicinity. But those two places were shattered?

Even if there was a place that was thinking of doing the same thing, they would fold. Because it wasn't a big enough profit to risk death.

"As expected, the great hero's thoughts are different. To think of preventing such a thing from happening even if it means letting a few go."

But that wasn't what Mok Wigun was thinking.

'No... I was hoping our rumor would spread.'

He had hoped that the skills of himself, Pyon Juksu, and the Light Wind Unit would become known. Now that they were independent, they had to properly show their skills. That's why he had come here. Since so many masters had gathered, where was a better stage than this to properly show their skills?

The start was satisfactory. It was a real battle practice for the Light Wind Unit, and a rumor would spread that they had defeated a peak master. But the Hwangbo siblings made a request.

"Would it be alright if we accompanied you?"

"I also ask. If we go with you, there won't be any dangerous things, will there?"

This time, Mugwang also made a request. But Mok Wigun refused flatly without even thinking.

"Impossible! It's safe now, so go back."

The Hwangbo siblings still clung on.

"We also have a reason why we must go."

"What's the reason?"

"We need the inner core of the thousand-year-old fire carp."

Mok Wigun snorted.

"You're going to get the thousand-year-old fire carp with your skills? Don't even dream of it."

Among the people who had gone in now, there would be hundreds who were stronger than the Hwangbo siblings. Besides, they weren't with any special power. But they were still going to go in and get the inner core of the thousand-year-old fire carp?

"It's absolutely impossible unless the heavens help and heavenly luck follows. So go back."

"My father was hit by a cold poison while fighting an unidentified master, so we absolutely need the inner core of the thousand-year-old fire carp."

Mok Wigun sighed. Hearing the story, he was a guy who had grown up sheltered in a prestigious family.

"Impossible. If you go in further, you'll die. The fight that happened here today will be nothing compared to it."

But Hwangbo Jun did not break his stubbornness.

"It's my father's business, so I can't just stand by. Please just let us follow."

"What can you do by following, that you keep saying you'll follow?"

Hwangbo Jun hesitated for a moment and then answered.

"I don't think I can bear it if something happens to my father when I haven't done anything."

Then he looked at Mok Wigun and said with a desperate expression.

"I will do my best and leave the result to the heavens. So please just let us follow."

An atmosphere where he would become a really bad guy if he refused here. The Light Wind Unit members were already looking at the Hwangbo siblings with pity. Gu Mungoe was looking at Mok Wigun with an expression that said, 'Let's go together.'

But when Mok Wigun's expression remained the same, Mugwang made a sly suggestion.

"Wouldn't it be a bit difficult for both of you?"

In effect, it meant to take only Hwangbo Jun. At that, Hwangbo Jun said.

"You go back. You at least have to be by father's side."

"I can't just send you, brother. I'm going too."

Hwangbo Ryeong argued for the reason she had to go.

"Although my martial arts are weak, I know more about spiritual creatures and spiritual herbs than anyone else. So I will be of great help."

They were children who had already experienced how dangerous it was. But still, the siblings were fighting, saying they would go into the jaws of death for their father. Mok Wigun, who couldn't watch it anymore, said.

"You're all acting crazy."

Everyone was flustered by the sudden harsh words. There was even someone who made an expression that said, 'Isn't that too much?'

"What if you both die then? Do you think your parents will be happy?"

When Mok Wigun shouted, everyone became quiet. What parent in the world would want their child to die? As Mok Wigun was thinking that, he remembered that there were exceptions.

'Anyway, this damn Mok family!'

Just thinking about it made his anger surge. So Mok Wigun was about to refuse for sure. But suddenly, Pyon Juksu stopped him.

"Let's take them."

"Why?"

Pyon Juksu glanced at Hwangbo Ryeong and then whispered.

"She says she knows spiritual creatures and spiritual herbs well. Let's talk to her on the way. Who knows? It might be helpful in making potions."

Mok Wigun looked at Pyon Juksu and asked.

"Is that really the only reason?"

"Of course. What do I have to do with them? It's because my research isn't going well these days."

And he said, 'Where would it be dangerous if we go with them? I'll take responsibility for their safety.' It seemed he really wanted to go together.

"Alright. If you need it."

Mok Wigun turned around and said to the Hwangbo siblings.

"Alright. Your heart of thinking so devotedly of your father is praiseworthy, so I will allow you to accompany us."

"Thank you, great hero."

The Hwangbo siblings were greatly delighted and were about to bow, but Mok Wigun stopped them.

"Instead, you must follow my words unconditionally."

"I understand. I will follow the great hero's instructions while we are on Mount Xiaohua."

And so, two more people were added, and the party became twelve.

* * *

Mok Wigun's party did not move in a hurry. They moved slowly, training in the middle. To the point where it was confusing whether they had come to get the thousand-year-old fire carp or to train.

"Young master. About how my body stretched out earlier."

Gu Mungoe asked Mok Wigun.

"Did you also use that method?"

"Of course. Why, is it not working well?"

"The attack seems to be working, but the footwork and lightness skill are not working well."

Mok Wigun told him to perform it once in front of him. And after seeing him do it, he immediately knew what the problem was.

"You're trying to put all your strength into your legs, do you think that will work?"

"It's footwork, so where else would I put my strength if not my legs?"

There was definitely a problem because he hadn't trained properly from the basics. Mok Wigun picked up a tree branch. And he told Gu Mungoe to take a stance.

"Alright. Listen carefully."

He poked here and there on his waist, thighs, and feet with the tree branch.

"The strength is transmitted in this order. Try moving."

Gu Mungoe, who had actually moved, nodded his head.

"Yes. The strength is going in along the places you poked, young master."

"The strength doesn't just go to the lower body."

And this time, he poked here and there on his back, shoulders, and arms. And he told him to move in the same way.

"Ah. The strength is going into my upper body too."

"Yes. Just because it's footwork doesn't mean you only move your legs. The whole body moves organically. Then how should the internal energy move?"

Mok Wigun said that the problem had occurred because Gu Mungoe was only sending his internal energy to his legs. And he told him the path for the internal energy to move from the dantian to the lower and upper body.

"This is the internal energy operation method for the footwork you use. Try it."

Gu Mungoe tried it as he was told.

Swoosh!

Although it wasn't an incredible movement that left an afterimage like Mok Wigun's, it showed a movement that was much faster than before.

"Oh. It works. Young master. It works!"

"From now on, think carefully about what the problem is and what the solution is, and also discuss it with the other members."

"I understand, young master."

Gu Mungoe, as if it was strange, performed the footwork over and over. The other guys also received various advice from Mok Wigun. They also discussed it among themselves.

When he thought they had practiced enough, he moved to another place. It was because he needed a slightly wider space to practice the formation.

"The Hwangbo siblings will see everything, is that okay?"

"They've already seen everything, so what? And they won't know even if they see it, so you don't have to worry."

Mok Wigun first told the members the precautions.

"You still don't know how to use internal energy. You've only learned the basics. As for the formation, it's as if you don't know it at all. You only know the very basics of the basics."

So they must not overdo it. It was okay earlier because the opponent was too weak, but it could have been dangerous. As he said that, he told them the things they had to be careful about.

Hwangbo Jun, who heard the sound from afar, couldn't help but let out a hollow laugh. It was definitely an incredible formation, but to say it was the basics of the basics. Hwangbo Jun asked his sister.

"How did you see the formation earlier?"

"You mean the formation that the seven of them performed, right?"

"Yes. I'm curious how you saw it with your insight."

Hwangbo Ryeong was knowledgeable in knowledge and theory. She also knew formations quite well. Perhaps because of that, she had grasped more than her older brother, Hwangbo Jun.

"Although there are seven of them, they are not following the mystery of the seven stars, but the mysteries of the four symbols and the three talents were mixed."

"Oh? I'm not that familiar with formations, but this is the first time I've heard of such a kind."

"I also saw it for the first time. So at first, I wondered if I had seen it wrong."

Hwangbo Ryeong said it was a very difficult and complex formation. But she said that since she felt a dizzying sensation, she wondered if it was a formation devised by a very famous person.

"But they say what they performed earlier was the basis of the formation. I don't know if I should believe this."

If that was the basis, how strong would the properly performed formation be? In fact, if just the formation they had seen earlier became known to the world, it would cause a big stir.

"Anyway, seeing how Elder Mugwang lowers himself like that, he's no ordinary person."

"That's right. But he said he can't tell us his identity until he tells us himself."

"There must be some story. Anyway, let's just be glad that we're accompanying good people."

The Hwangbo siblings thought that since they had caught an unexpected piece of luck, they might be able to get the inner core of the thousand-year-old fire carp if they did well.

* * *

The Folding Snow Valley. It was named that because butterflies fell like snow.

"Achoo!"

Gu Mungoe sneezed and then sniffled. It was nice to see from afar, but the whole place was a mess of butterfly wing powder. A few of them kept coughing.

"Don't rub your eyes. If you do it wrong, you could go blind."

Mok Wigun said to wash their eyes with water if they were itchy. There was plenty of water. Because they had filled every leather pouch to the brim.

"What kind of people have set foot in the Folding Snow Valley? This is not a place that just anyone can enter!"

Suddenly, a voice was heard, but it was impossible to tell where it was coming from. Mok Wigun gestured to Pyon Juksu with his eyes. It was a signal to fight once, as Pyon Juksu had kept saying to leave Seomun Daecheol to him.

Pyon Juksu stepped forward and said.

"Are you the child they call Seomun Daecheol?"
