The World's Greatest Troublemaker

Chapter 85

He had experienced it firsthand while dealing with the single-horned great serpent. This wouldn't do.

"How much do you think is possible?"

"It's impossible to get better all at once."

Pyon Juksu answered in a tone that said, 'Why are you asking when you already know?'

"It's only possible because this place is overflowing with precious medicinal herbs."

What Mok Wigun was trying to do was bone marrow washing. To be precise, it was the preparatory stage for bone marrow washing.

What is bone marrow washing? It means to remove all the waste from the body and completely change the constitution. To transform into a completely different person. To do that, the first thing was to make the body into a state where that was possible.

"After today, if we do it about two more times, the preparations will be finished."

The thought of bone marrow washing was also possible because Pyon Juksu was there. Pyon Juksu had suddenly thought of something while checking the barrier here. It was a method of using the energy of a spiritual medicine and a barrier similar to a magic circle.

Mok Wigun and Pyon Juksu had discussed it together and had come to the conclusion that it was more than possible. So they were trying it now.

"But it's going to be incredibly painful. Brace yourself."

"I'm used to pain."

"It will be much more painful than when you made the temporary dantian."

"It's fine. If I can just fix my dantian, I can endure any pain."

Life was pain. He had tasted all kinds of pain while fighting the Demon King. It was a wonder that he had survived with his sanity intact even after going through all that.

Pyon Juksu installed a small barrier around Mok Wigun. And after finishing all the preparations, he said.

"Alright. Then let's begin."

"I'm ready."

Pyon Juksu activated the barrier. At that, a hazy fog-like thing formed around Mok Wigun. And the sound heard from inside.

"Ugh-euh-euhk!"

A sound that leaked out of his mouth due to pain. And so, the preparatory work for bone marrow washing proceeded, and from inside the barrier, groans of pain were heard without ceasing.

* * *

"Everyone, keep this in mind. You must treat Young Master Mok and Physician Pyon as you would treat me."

"We understand. Fairy."

The White Butterfly Fairy was talking to the people who were going to go out. Inside the barrier, the White Butterfly Fairy was no different from a god. It was impossible to disobey her words.

"At least those two are beings who keep their promises. If there is anyone you can trust in this world, it will be those two."

The White Butterfly Fairy, as if she was reluctant to send them out, couldn't finish her words. It was like the heart of a grandmother sending out her young grandchildren?

She stood up from her seat when she saw Mok Wigun.

"You seem to have changed a little in a few days."

The White Butterfly Fairy said as she looked Mok Wigun up and down.

"It must be your imagination."

"No. Something has definitely changed."

The White Butterfly Fairy, since her qi sense was excellent, seemed to have noticed even a small change. But it was not yet a stage to say that it had changed greatly. Unless it was after he had done the bone marrow washing.

"Then let's move."

Finally, after finishing all the work on Mount Xiaohua, they were on their way back to Chang'an. At first, ten people had come, but on their way back, the number of people had exceeded a hundred.

There were still people left at the entrance of Mount Xiaohua. Although many had left, the remaining people suddenly shouted in horror.

"No. What's that?"

People rushed out to see. What they were looking at was a huge horn.

"It's a horn."

"What kind of horn is that big?"

"Could that be the horn of the single-horned great serpent?"

Everyone was murmuring. Mok Wigun had placed the horn of the single-horned great serpent at the very front of the party. He had loaded the horn on a cart, and since it was such a huge horn, it stood out.

At first, people just watched from a distance, but perhaps because they couldn't stand their curiosity, they slyly approached and asked.

"Is that the horn of the single-horned great serpent?"

"That's right. We caught it. Young Master Mok Wigun and the Light Wind Unit."

Gu Mungoe chattered excitedly.

"Besides that, there's also the leg of the human-faced spider. On the cart right behind."

"Wow. That's also enormous."

At first, they only saw the horn, but then they also became interested in what was in the next cart. Since they were such strange things, everyone couldn't help but watch as if they were possessed.

"They say that's the leg of the human-faced spider. It seems bigger than me."

"And the one next to it is the skin of the single-horned great serpent. Wow, the skin is piled up like a mountain."

It had taken a long time to skin the single-hored great serpent. Since its body was so large, even after giving some to Shaolin, there was not enough space to load it on two carts, even when piled up like a mountain.

The Light Wind Unit members walked with their shoulders held high, as if they were victorious generals. It had been a really long time since they had walked like this, receiving the gazes of all the people, and envious gazes at that.

"It wasn't even this much during the old Light Wind Unit days, was it?"

When Dan Bulseok spoke, Hwang Gyesu answered. His tone was slightly excited, unlike his usual self.

"What are you talking about? It's over with just that one horn. Who wouldn't be amazed to see that?"

As everyone looked at them with envious eyes, the people of the Folding Snow Valley also felt good, and their steps were light.

"Hurry up. We have to arrive at Mount Yakwang before the sun sets."

At those words, the people quickened their pace a little. But all the people who were at the entrance of Mount Xiaohua followed Mok Wigun's party. As if they were all possessed by the horn of the single-horned great serpent.

* * *

"What do you mean by that? They all died?"

The Chang'an magistrate shouted.

"Does that make sense? All those masters died without a single one being able to escape?"

"That's... that's right."

The magistrate collapsed into his seat and grabbed the back of his neck.

"How on earth did you do your job? Didn't I tell you to be so careful and just inflict damage?"

"Didn't everyone know that and leave? But..."

He had clearly known well and had left, and he had heard that the operation was proceeding smoothly. But at some point, the news was cut off, so he had sent people to investigate. And today, he had received a report on the reason.

"They say a single-horned great serpent and a human-faced spider appeared, and a huge number of martial artists died. I think they were swept away by that and died."

It was the result the magistrate had wanted. That many of the martial artists in this vicinity would die and their power would weaken. Because that had been achieved. But it's good when his own subordinates are completely alive.

The magistrate sighed and held his head. His head was throbbing. The one who was reporting looked at his expression and then spoke.

"It seems the Mok family suffered the greatest blow. The family head, Mok Sonkwang, had one of his arms cut off and is now missing..."

The protector, Jin Jaryun, was also hit by the poison of the human-faced spider. In that state, he had fought while using his internal energy unreasonably, and his condition had worsened, so he was not normal. Many of the Wind Squad and Biryong Unit had also died.

Although the Red Tiger Squad had withdrawn in advance and was intact, it was a place that was a step below the Wind Squad and the Biryong Unit. So it could be seen as less than a quarter of the original power of the Mok family. Besides, all the masters had either died, been injured, or gone missing. So in fact, it had to be seen as ruined.

"The Baek family also had most of the Iron Sword Squad die, and Bang So-eung's qi and blood were twisted while fighting the single-horned great serpent."

So he had to focus on treatment for a while, and even if he was treated, it was unclear whether he could be cured. Although the Baek family head and his sons had survived safely, the strongest master of the Baek family was Bang So-eung. Without him, the Baek family would not be able to enjoy the same power as before.

"Stop. Stop! It's a relief that those guys turned out like that, but what's the use of all that? All my subordinates are dead."

"How about you ask for help?"

"Where am I supposed to ask for help? Do you think masters just fall from the sky?"

The one who was reporting said cautiously.

"How about you talk to the general's residence?"

"To my maternal family?"

The magistrate's maternal family, the Seol General's Residence, was one of the top in terms of military power. Of course, they also had many masters, and there were also many masters who were connected through acquaintances.

"Talk to my maternal family..."

The magistrate's expression became a little better. It was because he was expecting that if he talked to the general's residence, he would be able to receive at least ten or more masters. Although he would have to pay a considerable price.

"Now the other places have become terribly weak. So even if we just supplement with some masters, we can take control of this area."

"That's right. They say the Huashan Sect, which was helping the Baek family, has also all gone back. Sa Hongmyeong died, and Taeseokgwan was also said to have received a considerable shock."

"Even the Huashan Sect? Very good. Very good!"

Then it meant that all the powers that would be a hindrance to him in this vicinity had disappeared.

"But... they say Mok Wigun is coming back, saying he caught the single-horned great serpent and the human-faced spider."

"What? How did that guy catch those monsters?"

But he was coming back with the horn and skin of the single-horned great serpent and the leg of the human-faced spider loaded on a cart.

"I don't know if he caught it, but I think he's related to the person who caught it."

"If he caught it, it would be Seomun Daecheol."

"But there's a rumor that the Shaolin monks saw it. That Mok Wigun and the Light Wind Unit caught the monsters..."

But the magistrate was not worried. There were not many of them. Although numbers are not everything, there is a limit to what a small number of people can do.

"But magistrate. They say he is moving with over a hundred people."

"What? Where did so many people suddenly come from?"

"I don't know that. Seeing that they came down from the mountain together, it seems he has gathered the martial artists who had gone there..."

The Chang'an magistrate grabbed his head again. He had thought the problem was somewhat solved, but a troublesome guy had popped up. Mok Wigun was an unpredictable guy. He was a person who could be more of a problem than the Mok family or the Baek family.

"First, find out a little more about what happened. Mok Wigun. Investigate everything around that guy! And also who the guys who are coming with him are!"

While the magistrate was making a fuss like that, Mok Wigun's party arrived at the detached villa on Mount Yakwang. Since it was a very large place, all the hundred-odd people could enter.

While everyone was resting like that, Mok Wigun headed to the Mok family. It was because there was something to tie up. But when he arrived at the Mok family, what he encountered was Lady Jin, who was sighing and wandering around the garden.

"What are you doing here?"

Lady Jin said. She was dejected, unlike her usual self. Her usual appearance of being quiet but always full of confidence was nowhere to be seen.

"I came because I have something to talk about. There's something to finish regarding the merchant group."

"Oh? Go and see."

Lady Jin, who seemed to have aged a lot since he had last seen her. Mok Wigun saw a maid supporting Lady Jin as he was on his way to Lady Jang.

"The Jin family is also finished."

It would depend on how much Jin Jaryun recovered, but even if he returned to his original state, he could not go back to the past. But what could he do? That was fate.

Mok Wigun headed to Lady Jang's residence.

"Come in."

Lady Jang's expression was strange. The Red Tiger Squad had suffered no damage, and her son, Mok Wipyong, was also safe. But she had heard the story. That in exchange for telling Mok Wipyong the plan, he had agreed to make a concession on the merchant group issue.

"I was waiting for you."

"You must have heard the story."

Lady Jang said she had heard everything from her son. But she added a strange thing.

"I have to go to the government office. There's a problem."
