Dad Is the Demonic Cult Leader – Chapter 77

Chapter 77

‘Phew……’

First.

The reason I was safe today is because of my resourcefulness.

In fact, even thinking back, today was a nerve-wracking day.

First of all, I had to deal with numerous guys who had mastered water and poison techniques, and the location was a deck covered in poisonous salt.

Moreover, I was carrying the goods, so I was in a very ‘constrained’ and ‘disadvantageous’ state for fighting.

But I turned that disadvantage into an ‘advantage’.

‘Thank you, poisonous insects.’

It was the ‘Yin-Yang Mago’.

If I hadn’t used the Yin-Yang Mago……

And if Oh Won-jung of the Taewha Guild hadn’t handed me the gloves made of ‘Golden Silkworm Thread’……

‘Ugh……!’

I would have won today, but I would have been poisoned or severely injured.

Fortunately,

“So. Your identities are…… the Sea Sand Sect?”

As soon as I set foot in Sichuan after capturing all the survivors, I was able to take them to a secluded mountain and conduct ‘my own’ interrogation.

“……That’s correct.”

“The Sea Sand Sect……”

Honestly.

The moment the name Sea Sand Sect came out of their mouths, I was quite surprised.

Although the Sea Sand Sect is originally classified as the Black Path, they are a traditional sect, so they wouldn’t normally use such underhanded methods to catch just one person like me……

“Are you guys having a hard time these days?”

“Wh, what are you talking about?”

“I’m asking how hard it must be for the Sea Sand Sect to resort to this kind of theft. At least you guys…… aren’t this much of a gangster, are you?”

Then,

“Jin Mun-ju. You’re saying that because you don’t know…… Ugh…… The Yin-Yang Mago you have is…… Ugh, ugh…… It’s an important…… item to our sect…… To get it, we can’t be picky about the means……”

The old man, whose jaw was shattered and half of his face was caved in, spoke while spitting blood.

“Well…… Even I can see that this Gu poison is vicious. You guys are a sect that uses poison too. You must have been tempted.”

Hearing the old man’s words, I could somewhat understand.

The Sea Sand Sect, like the Sichuan Tang Clan or the Taewha Guild, specializes in poison, so I thought it was possible.

Of course, martial artists like me who don’t use poison wouldn’t understand these guys who go to such lengths for a mere poisonous insect, but humans are beings who would abandon even friends or siblings for profit……

Considering the ruthless nature of Jianghu, what’s there to not understand?

“Hey, old man.”

“What……”

“What’s your identity? You seem like someone important in the Sea Sand Sect.”

“I am…… the elder of the Sea Sand Sect, Oh Ji-myeong.”

“Your name is Oh Ji-myeong?”

“That’s right……”

“You’re really a crazy bastard.”

“???”

“Forget it. Anyway, you tried to assassinate me first, so I’m not guilty even if I kill you all. To be frank, if I bury you all here and keep my mouth shut, there’s no physical evidence, no witnesses, meaning the Sea Sand Sect won’t be able to mess with me in the future.”

“Ugh…… That’s a mistake. We confirmed you through an insider planted in the Taewha Guild…… If we die, that arrow will be directed entirely at you and the Dawn Heaven Sect……”

Kwaang━!

“Kyaaaaaak!”

I……

I cut off Elder Oh Ji-myeong’s words without mercy and punched him in the eye socket.

“You vicious old man are determined to die, huh? Are you threatening me right now?”

“Th, that’s not……”

“Try it.”

“……?”

“Go ahead and do as you please, you thieving bastards.”

“……”

I’m not hot-tempered, but.

At least I’m not someone who’s merciful to those who threaten me with things they can’t even do.

Frankly, I had no intention of letting them live even if the old man and the others begged for their lives.

Even if I left the old man alone, it was clear that he would be crippled for life or die midway.

As for the others, I was planning to destroy their dantian so they couldn’t use martial arts again, and then break their arms or legs……

“I don’t think this will work for you guys. Let’s start with a beating.”

It seems……

These vicious ‘viper’ bastards.

It would be better to make them realize what ‘true education’ really means.

◈ ◈ ◈

I started the torture in earnest, and I tormented the Sea Sand Sect bastards until they said, ‘Please, just kill me, Master!’

First, I shaved their heads, then buried them in the ground with only their heads sticking out. In the process, Elder Oh Ji-myeong died from excessive bleeding……

「From now on, if my mood sours even a little, I’ll release the Yin-Yang Mago on your faces.」

Through threats, I was able to hear from the survivors about the identity of the insider in the Taewha Guild, why the Sea Sand Sect was so obsessed with the Yin-Yang Mago, and what they were trying to achieve with it.

‘As expected, torture is the best. Always thrilling.’

In the process, I realized once again that torture is the fastest way to obtain the truth.

Once again……

The ‘assassin training’ I received in my past life was quite useful in times like these.

Of course, as a trainee back then, I went through hellish days……

But that painful past became the nourishment for my present life, so the saying that you can only see the ‘true face’ of life when you look back at the end really resonated with me.

“Listen carefully.”

“……”

“I’m not a gangster like you. At least I try to keep my word. So, as promised…… I’ll let you live.”

“M, Master. Thank you.”

“There’s nothing to be thankful for. Even if I let you live, I won’t just let you go.”

“Yes!?”

“First, I’ll destroy your dantian and cut off one of your arms. Then I’ll stop the bleeding with Golden Sore Medicine. You won’t die, so I’ll have kept my promise, right?”

“What…… does that……!”

“The survivors will immediately return to the Sea Sand Sect and confess everything. For your information, I’m not afraid of the Sea Sand Sect. I’m the one who raided the Noh Family Assassin’s Guild alone, and I’m the one who didn’t flinch even in front of the Guardian Messengers of the Cult of the Evil Path. Retaliation from the Sea Sand Sect? I don’t care about that, so tell your sect leader exactly that.”

“U, understood.”

“And……”

“……”

“I’ll begin.”

“Wh, what do you mean!”

“I told you.”

“???”

“I’m going to destroy your dantian and cut off your arms.”

◈ ◈ ◈

Two days later━

I spoke harshly, but……

I’m not a bloodthirsty psychopath or someone that cruel, so……

Instead of actually cutting off the arms of the surviving Sea Sand Sect remnants, I ended the punishment by just snapping their arms.

Well, I didn’t just break them, I completely shattered their joints, so unless a divine doctor like Master Dongbyeok treats them, they’ll be one-armed for life, but that’s their fate……

“Phew……”

Anyway.

After a tumultuous three-day journey, I finally arrived in Chengdu, Sichuan.

To be honest, even I’m shocked that I arrived in Chengdu from Chang’an in just three days.

I can confidently say that there’s no ‘escort agency’ or sect in the world that can match this transportation speed.

No……

It’s not that it doesn’t exist, it just can’t exist.

In that sense, the transportation fee (3 gold ingots) I offered to the Taewha Guild is a cheap price, and the Taewha Guild made the best choice by entrusting the Dawn Heaven Sect with the transportation of the goods.

Anyway……

After arriving in Chengdu, I immediately went to the ‘Tang Clan’.

Actually, I was hungry after starving for days, and since I had come all the way to Sichuan, I thought I’d enjoy a drink and some Sichuan cuisine while being treated as a VIP at the Tang Clan rather than eating at a restaurant, so I went there on an empty stomach……

“I’ve come from the Dawn Heaven Sect in Chang’an. Is the Clan Head available?”

At my question, the gatekeeper,

“You punk! What kind of stray dog dares to ask for the Clan Head?”

He showed a ‘manner’ that was undoubtedly arrogant, uneducated, and that of a lowlife.

‘Far from being treated as a VIP and getting Sichuan food……’

It would be fortunate if I didn’t get grabbed by the collar, d*mn it.

“Hey. Why are you talking like that? I said I’m from the Dawn Heaven Sect, the Dawn Heaven Sect. Huh?”

I almost slapped the rude gatekeeper’s face but managed to hold back and speak.

No matter how reckless I am, I can’t beat up the Tang Clan’s gatekeeper in broad daylight in Chengdu.

First of all, the ‘Tang Clan’ is on a different level than the guys I’ve dealt with so far…… They are a prestigious family called one of the Eight Great Families.

“What? The Dawn Heaven Sect??”

“Yes, the Dawn Heaven Sect. Don’t you know the Dawn Heaven Sect?”

Perhaps……

They don’t know, do they?

Still, our Dawn Heaven Sect, for the past six months, huh?

We’ve built up such a great reputation.

Even if it’s a different region, Sichuan, not the Shaanxi region, they must have heard the rumors, right?

“Tsk tsk. What a crazy bastard is acting up. These days, something called the Dawn Heaven Sect or the Great Heaven Sect is quite famous. But even if you’re really from the Dawn Heaven Sect, you dare to meet the Clan Head? You punk. I don’t know what you’re up to, but you have to be reasonable with your bluff. What’s this? Meet the Clan Head? You crazy……”

I,

Kwaang━!

In the end, today as well, I caused trouble……

“Kyaaaaaaaaak!”

I ended up doing it.

“If you make me say another word, I’ll really gouge your eyes out.”

Murmur murmur━

Is it because I hit someone in broad daylight……

Or is it because the person I hit happened to be the gatekeeper at the main gate?

All the passersby passing by the Tang Clan were staring at me with terrified eyes, and I felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

“Ah ah. I’m not a bad person, so please continue on your way, everyone.”

◈ ◈ ◈

“I’m truly sorry, Jin Mun-ju.”

“……”

“I’ll apologize on behalf of the main family, so please calm your anger. Actually…… A few days ago, the Clan Head encountered assassins while training alone. Because of that, security has been tightened, and these days, strange people who claim they want to see the Clan Head have been coming. I admit it was a mistake on our part. I’m really sorry.”

I’m not someone who gets offended easily, but once I do, it lasts quite a while, and I hold grudges.

That’s why I glared at the other person with a sullen expression, and it turned out to be the Clan Head’s granddaughter, Tang So-so.

“Mun-ju. I’m sor……”

“First……”

“Yes?”

“I haven’t slept, eaten, or even relieved myself for days while transporting the Taewha Guild’s goods. So I think I need to eat right away, and I also need to wash up, and I want to change my clothes.”

“Ah……”

Once again……

When I entered the guest quarters and looked in the mirror.

I couldn’t help but be appalled.

Not only had I been running through rough mountain roads day and night for three days, but I had also fought in a pile of salty, poisonous salt, making me look exactly like a beggar from the Beggars’ Sect.

Only then could I understand the gatekeeper’s actions in treating me like a scoundrel.

“I’ll prepare it for you, Mun-ju.”

Fortunately, Tang So-so was polite, and I was planning to wash up first, then deliver the goods and explain the situation.

“Thank you. And Miss.”

“Yes?”

“Is the Clan Head not here? I want to deliver the important goods directly to him. That’s what the Taewha Guild requested as well.”

“Ah…… My grandfather…… won’t be back until tomorrow.”

“I guess he’s away on a trip?”

“Yes.”

“Alright. Then I’ll have to stay for a day. I’ll go wash up first.”

“Yes.”

“Please prepare some food while I’m washing up. And I’d appreciate it if you could also prepare some new clothes.”

“Yes? Yes……”

“For your information, I have a refined hobby of only wearing silk clothes of the highest quality, so I’d appreciate it if you could consider that as well.”

“???”
