51 – Return

1.

“…Cheon… Cheonhee.”

“Trust me.”

“Ha… ha…”

Eunho felt relieved as his breathing became easier. Now he could breathe even without kissing.

On the other hand, there was a massive sheep-like magic that made the sky dark in front of them.

“…Since I’m in a good mood today, should we stop here?”

“…What…?”

Did Won-eodaechung mishear? He asked back suspiciously. Are they sending us away from here?

Despite thinking hard with his foolish fish-like eyes, Won-eodaechung couldn’t find any reason for Cheonma to spare them.

If they leave them like this, they might be able to enter the abandoned Celestial Realm in its vulnerable state and bring reinforcements.

Even though he didn’t know how strong Cheonma was right now, if Yumra stepped forward…

Although Yumra would probably lose… still, it wasn’t a time to be careless.

She had just said until a moment ago that she didn’t want any new powerful beings added. Why did she change her mind?

– *Paaang!!*

The sheep-magic that soared and swept the ground disappeared behind the clouds.

“That… Is it a luxury of the strong? I can’t understand.”

“That’s not it. Look at the ground.”

“The ground…?”

“It’s getting lower and lower.”

As Cheon-hee had said, the ground that had risen sharply through the Heavenly Horse Imperial Report was gradually fading away.

“Does this… have something to do with sparing us?”

“I knew in my case. I may have less knowledge on dealing with magic than you, but I’m good at sensing energy.”

Cheon-hee held Eun-ho in her arms and spoke while flying.

“The Heavenly Horse Realm couldn’t stand intact even after consuming the Black Dragon Pills.”

“What does that mean?!”

“Maybe it needed time to fully make it its own. The sky above gave us the decisive assurance.”

Clouds of magic that completely blocked the light. The ominous clouds of magic seemed to be moving rapidly toward the center of the continent.

However… it was like swirling smoke made of magic.

“All the strong ones I’ve seen… especially Eun-ho’s grandmother or the Black Dragon Pills. Even when they stay still, their energy rises upward. It was the same for the Heavenly Horse Realm. But after absorbing the Black Dragon Pills, it changed into a form that swirled and rose like smoke. That’s where I got my assurance.”

Won Odadaecheong and Eun-ho were once again impressed by Cheon-hee’s insight.

“Cheon-hee…”

“Eun-ho, are you okay?”

“I’m sorry…”

“Why…?”

“Well, because I almost let Cheon-hee die…”

“I’m fine. The problem is that you almost died.”

Eun-ho smelled Cheon-hee’s fragrance while being pressed against her.

“…”

“Don’t smell it. It’s a nice scent… I feel relieved.”

“But you’re probably sweating after the fight…”

Won Odadaecheong looked at Eun-ho, rubbing his fingers as if envious.

“Why are you staring, fish head?”

“Hmpf. Not now.”

“What?”

“I turned into a human for a moment. I said I wanted to reduce my size. Awakening Blood is amazing. It has been very helpful in protecting you from the Heavenly Horse Realm’s magic.”

“But your rotten fish eyes are still the same.”

“Ugh… Don’t tease me!”

“I’m glad. I was afraid there might be side effects since it was your first time.”

“Hoohoohoo. It seems that the effect of the acupuncture is wearing off, Bansijin. Eunho-gong, take a rest. You must have been through a lot.”

Eunho lowered his head.

“But Cheonhee and Woneodaechung handled most of it.”

“Thanks to Eunho breaking the arm of the Black Dragon’s General, there was an opportunity.”

“If it weren’t for the Heavenly Horse, the Black Dragon’s General would have remained sealed permanently. It seems like there is something special about the ‘Eyes’ of the Demon Sect.”

“Hmm…”

Eunho and his companions descended slowly. Suddenly, they heard a collapsing sound and saw that the ground forcefully raised by the Heavenly Horse was crumbling.

“It looks like the Heavenly Horse has gone beyond its boundary.”

“Yes.”

“Eunho-gong, is your throat alright? You emitted quite… an enormous force.”

“I’m fine. It’s just a bit sore. It’s only what I emit from my body that I consume… It flowed with such overwhelming power that it became unbearable.”

“Looking at that strength, if the Heavenly Horse were to consume your inner energy, it would truly be unstoppable.”

Eunho hesitated before speaking.

“Cheonhee… I know I always act mischievous. I know… Can I act up one more time?”

Cheonhee stared at Eunho intensely, as if she already knew what he was going to ask.

“You’ve always acted up not just for yourself. Since the old days.”

“……..”

“You want to protect your family and friends from the Heavenly Horse, right?”

“..Yes. At least the news that the Heavenly Horse ate the Black Dragon’s General.”

Cheonhee smiled and said,

“It’s alright. I’ve also changed my thoughts through this battle.”

“Why.. why are you looking at me?”

“In a good way. And besides, the Heavenly Horse can deal with me now as well. It will be difficult to defeat me even with its flying speed. Let’s go to the Central Plains.”

“Yes!”

“I’ll also lend you my strength. In any case, if we go to the gate of the Heavenly Realm in this state, we’ll only be killed. Not to mention that it will be an added sin to have opened the gate of the Heavenly Realm while strengthening the Heavenly Horse.”

“Shall we go then?”

Eunho and his group started to fly towards the Central Plains.

2.

“… How dare… bring such humiliation to me…”

Cheonma felt a massive magic power wriggling within his body.

However, that magi was not complete. It was a conglomeration of a large amount of magic and a decent amount of vitality, mixed with a small amount of spiritual energy.

Because the magi was about five times more abundant than magic, it somehow managed to take on the form of a magi.

Four random elements mixed together in an obvious manner were enough to disrupt the interior of the celestial horse.

From Noble mtl dot com

“Although there was an onyx-eyed child and a annihilating night chariot in front of us…”

The onyx-eyed child known as Eunho was truly a treasure trove.

Not to mention the strong follower, Annihilating Night Chariot, who came along as a hostage. Eunho, who produced a crystallization of independent spiritual energy, was on par with the Dark Dragon.

The condition of the celestial horse was not good enough to send that away right before their eyes.

It seemed like the apocalypse could happen any moment.

“This celestial horse cannot perish in the chaos of the apocalypse… That is absolutely impossible.”

In that case, he would become the scum of the world.

The celestial horse thought to himself.

“We need some time for a brief respite.”

A magi that was so difficult to handle, even with its own form of magic, as the origins of this appearance.

For the current her, time was definitely needed.

“Tsk…”

Taking a breath and calming his spirit, the celestial horse.

The gi is similar to human blood, in a way that it can be seen as a form of modern world blood transfusion.

If it’s not of the same nature, the body will reject it. Even more so if the types are completely different.

But at least, the gi could be forced into the body through energy cultivation.

Still, it was somewhat similar.

“About a week. Will it last that long?”

The celestial horse licked its lips at the unexpectedly delayed time.

3.

Without recovering their bodies, Eunho and his group flew through the sky and arrived in Juongwon.

After arriving at Juongwon, they found none other than Murim’s commandery.

As they couldn’t find Eunho’s grandmother through rumors in the vast Juongwon, they decided to inquire directly about her whereabouts.

“Worst-case scenario, if your grandmother has gone to the edge of the continent to find you.”

“…Cheonhee, don’t say ominous things.”

When they arrived at the place where the martial arts leader was, Han Arin and the Martial Arts Leader, Weisohyun, were there.

“Gongja!”

“We knew each other, right?! Hm…?!”

Meangju, who realized the power of Cheonhee and Won-eo Daecheong belatedly, entered a defensive stance. On the other hand, Hana Rin just thought, “Since Yacha is next to me, she must be a comrade,” and rushed over.

“Arin. Long time no see.”

“You came back faster than I thought. Thankfully.”

“What’s going on?”

“Ah…no, it’s just because I like it…”

“Ah…ahem…”

In the eerie atmosphere, Cheonhee frowned and Won-eo Daecheong rolled her eyes, exchanging glances.

Meangju also tilted his head in confusion in the strange atmosphere.

“I feel like your grandson has a connection to this extraordinary expert…no, a relationship with semisins.” Eunho went straight to the point to deliver the news.

Although Eunho couldn’t see ahead, he could tell from the atmosphere that it became bleak as soon as he heard the news.

“The fact that Black Dragon’s corpse falls into Cheonma’s hands…is an unavoidable part. If the experts of the Central Plains go to the edge of the continent for one Cheonma… the experts of the Makyo will set the Central Plains on fire… Anyway, don’t worry. Our Muryeom League will take care of this matter.”

“Do you know where grandma is?”

Hana Rin spoke instead of Cheonhee.

“Yoo Adokjon is at this address. Namgung Yeonha is also there, so go and meet them.”

“If Arin comes with me, that would be great.”

“Then, excuse me. We’ll postpone Dae-ryeon for later, Meangju.”

Dae-ryeon? Hana Rin and Meangju…they were both Transcendent Grade.

Although I asked last time, I was curious.

When Eunho looked at her strangely, Hana Rin denied it with an irritated expression.

“Uh…I didn’t ask to go first. Meangju asked first. He said let’s foster friendship…”

“hehehe. I didn’t say anything~”

“Arin, your hair color is peculiar. It’s like a character from the sky.”

Arin asked, perplexed by the peculiar comment.

Come to think of it, they mentioned a fight with Cheonma, but the introduction about Won-eo Daecheong was a bit lacking.

Now that I listen, she must look like a blind woman in human form.

“Your red hair also stands out, but who are you?”

Finally, Won-eo Daecheong proudly spoke, raising her shoulders.

“I am called Won-eo Daecheong! I am one of the pure-hearted semisins born in Yonggung. I am a goddess of festivals~!”

Beating an unknown drum, Jeon Sarang sweated profusely while watching the original Green celebrating.

Meanwhile, at Pangga’s training center.

“….. It’s been three weeks. It’s been three weeks.”

“Sigh … Sir. Isn’t closed-door training supposed to be done annually? You shouldn’t be so worried about Pangyahwa, who has only gone through a superficial level of kung fu.”

Pangyahwa’s father, Lee Cheong-oh, was sitting still, wearing an anxious expression. He asked Pang-oryong, Pangyahwa’s mother.

“That’s true, dear .. But our daughter is going to closed-door training for the first time … Moreover, we won’t be able to see her for a year. …”

“A time of separation …”

At that moment, a loud voice exclaimed.

“Lord! The eldest daughter, Pangyahwa, has returned!”

“What?! She’s already back!”

“How fortunate!”

As the couple reacted differently, Chief Sejong was momentarily flustered.

Pangyahwa was back.

“Pangyahwa, what have you done?”

“……..training.”

Becoming unrecognizably stronger.
