Chapter 483: Chapter 483

Kurureureung-!

A loud sound was heard.

Even though they were at a considerable distance, the vibration and sound that rang in the ears were also heard by Namgung Cheon who was moving quickly.

That was definitely the hidden Thunder Bombs exploding.

“Amitabha, Amitabha.”

Mu Ho repeatedly chanted Buddhist prayers.

They were the ones who had set the trap there. Thus, they knew well how many Thunder Bombs had exploded. With that amount, even if set off on a battlefield, it could easily kill hundreds.

“They’re fast. Coming out early was the right answer.”

Bi Cheon-ung clicked his tongue.

Setting the trap took a considerable amount of time. If they had arrived just a little bit faster, it would have been difficult to expect a perfect trap.

However, heavenly luck still seemed to be with the Hunan Dan family.

Right as all the installations were finished and they were secretly leaving Gunja Island, it seemed the pursuers entered the inside of the cave.

Though they didn’t know how many people there were or how many died, quite a lot of people must have died, and even if they didn’t die, they wouldn’t be able to avoid heavy injuries.

Of course, if that many Thunder Bombs exploded inside a cave, even an immortal would never be able to survive.

“It seems we’ve put out the urgent fire for now.”

Zhuge Un smiled with a satisfied expression and nodded his head. He seemed quite happy that his trap had worked perfectly.

“Haha, I’m at a loss whether I should be happy or not…….”

Namgung Cheon laughed awkwardly.

Those calling themselves martial artists used Thunder Bombs which were no different from a taboo. Also, wasn’t the Thunder Bomb something that Namgung Cheon also had bad memories of?

Having annihilated the pursuers using that, his feelings were mixed but also somewhat thrilled for no reason.

“Is there any chance of surviving in that cave?”

“You can consider it non-existent. Even if they somehow survived the explosion, the entrance is already blocked and sunk. The entire cave has completely collapsed…….”

“It must have been death by explosion or being crushed to death.”

Sado Hak chuckled.

Whichever it was, it was certain that it was an unappealing death. However, he too was feeling thrilled at the resounding sound.

It was because he felt like he had avenged Ma Jang-gang with this.

“Since we’ve gained some time for now, we will have to make our own preparations.”

“Right, because they don’t look like they will back down like this.”

Those walking towards the place where the Hunan Dan family used to be had eyes full of resolution. Holding the thought in their minds that even if others swarmed in, they would never lose, and they were pledging again that they would never retreat this time.

Their solemnity was revealed even in their expressions.

“Then I will return to the Hao Sect and try to gather information. There might be a message from Family Head Dan, right?”

At that time, Gu Moo-ak took a fist-and-palm salute and spoke.

Although staying with them was the safest thing, there were too many things to find out. Since the most important thing was Dan Woo-hyun’s location and whether he was alive or dead, his will to surely accomplish it even if it meant mobilizing all the Hao Sect disciples could be felt.

“Yes, yes, do that. If anything that could be a clue comes up, you must let us know immediately.”

“Understood.”

At Namgung Cheon’s words, Gu Moo-ak bowed his head and quickly disappeared from sight.

Namgung Cheon had the conviction that since Gu Moo-ak was an existence who knew better than anyone what he had to do, he would never disappoint them.

With a pleasant smile like that, they began to advance towards the site where the Hunan Dan family was.

Kurureung-

Rocks that had fallen and turned over wriggled and pushed down. It looked like something even a single person’s strength could never lift, yet thumping sounds could be heard as if someone was smashing the huge rocks to pieces.

Soon, the moment something heaved.

“Keuak!”

A man revealed his appearance.

His entire body was covered in blood.

With his clothes torn and frayed, he was truly no different from rags. There wasn’t a place from his face to his toes where blood wasn’t flowing, and his face was half torn off to the point that the raw flesh was fully exposed.

“Uwaaaaaaak!”

Gal Hwang screamed loudly.

As his power spread in all directions and swept the surroundings, even huge rocks turned to dust and scattered.

It showed how great the anger Gal Hwang possessed was.

He looked around with his eyes flushed red.

Not a single person besides himself had survived.

At the moment the explosion was about to happen, all his subordinates surrounded Gal Hwang, protecting him by getting engulfed in the flames instead, and when the rocks collapsed, they withstood it with their whole bodies and smashed them.

If they hadn’t been able to do that, Gal Hwang would not have been able to escape death either.

It was an explosion that big and also that terrifying.

Gal Hwang trembled all over.

It wasn’t out of fear of death.

It was that his anger flared up to the top of his head at the thought that trash who hadn’t even reached the Half-Immortal realm had toyed with and mocked him. Grinding his teeth, he took a step forward.

Pasasasasak-!

The moment he stepped, rocks once again turned to dust and disappeared.

However.

“Keugh!”

His entire body was a wreck.

Even if he was standing intact, it didn’t mean he was fine.

Although the shock of the explosion was somewhat faint, its power was strong enough to kill Gal Hwang, and since he had to do his utmost to survive inside the collapsing cave, he had poured out all his energies.

He was in such a miserable condition that it was difficult to even walk right now.

“Just you wait…… sons of bitches……!”

Gal Hwang ground his teeth loudly.

How long had it been since he was mocked like this?

Also, had he ever left such people alive?

Never.

Vowing that he would definitely kill them, he suppressed his soaring killing intent. Right now, he needed to get out of this place as quickly as possible and check his physical condition.

The moment he recovered his body.

He would tear them to shreds without leaving a single one behind.

No matter who they were.

* * *

“Phew, it’s enormous…….”

Those who were holding the ruined Hunan Dan family in their eyes unwittingly shook their heads and let out sighs. The high walls had collapsed and could not properly fulfill their role, and the pavilions that were their home were entirely sunken and hideously scattered around.

Just clearing all these things away seemed like it would take a considerable amount of time.

While everyone was looking at that sight and thinking about how to clear it up, Dan So-mi, who had been sending blank stares, suddenly ran with her eyes shining vividly.

“So-mi!”

Surprised, Namgung So-hye ran towards Dan So-mi.

However, unconcerned, the child stretched out her two small hands and lifted a stone block.

The moment that sight was engraved in her eyes, Namgung So-hye stopped her steps.

She just couldn’t bring herself to stop Dan So-mi.

While she stared intently wondering what she was doing, Dan So-mi started carrying the stone blocks in her hands out of the yard.

As if trying to clean up that place that had become ruins.

Looking at the young child’s actions, the aching feeling in her heart didn’t disappear.

Gwon Mu-jin scratched his head vigorously.

“The kid is better than us.”

He unwittingly showed a bitter smile.

It was a situation where they didn’t even have a clue where or how to touch things, but Dan So-mi moved first and was trying to do anything.

Even though she herself must know her physical condition wasn’t good, there was absolutely no sign of hesitation.

That was why they realized it one by one.

One had to do something.

One had to move.

If one didn’t move, nothing could be done.

At that time, a bang sound was heard.

When they turned their heads in surprise, Sado Hak, who had moved at some point, threw a punch at the collapsed wall. The thick wall became dust in an instant.

“What are you all doing? We have to break it down first. So we can pile it up again, right?”

If it wasn’t demolished, nothing could be done.

Also, if it wasn’t cleared, new buildings could not be raised.

It was ultimately the same as saying to move, so Namgung Cheon unwittingly smiled.

“I thought no one except Family Head Dan would use martial arts like this…… but this old man is about to do the same thing…….”

Namgung Cheon shook his head from side to side and lightly stretched out a hand.

The half-collapsed outbuilding came tumbling down with a ‘Kwang!’ sound.

Since it had already changed into something so ruined that it couldn’t be repaired and used, it was a situation where everything had to be broken down. Thus, everyone unconsciously began to move with a smile.

Dan So-mi diligently cleared out stones, and the five elders moved around smashing the remaining debris.

Gwon Mu-jin rolled up his sleeves and started clearing out the debris scattered on the floor, and Muho assisted Dan So-mi as he moved around, quickly organizing the surroundings.

“Amazing. Truly amazing, really…….”

“Indeed.”

Zhuge Un looked at that sight and shook his head. Even though they were in a situation where they could run away, they didn’t do so, and they weren’t even leaving the rebuilding of this place to others either.

Wondering if they had the thought of building it themselves with their own hands, they began to create a foundation by moving one by one on their own.

“This time I will build my room a little bigger!”

“I will build it like that too. No, I think it would be nice to have a garden outside the window. Haha.”

Sado Hak and Namgung Cheon drew pictures in their heads as if competing with each other.

How did they want to build it. What shape did they want to make. Although they had the thought of building it exactly the same, wasn’t human greed endless?

If they were going to build it anew anyway, they would make it better and grander.

“Father! I will help too!”

At that time, a voice was heard from afar.

Namgung Cheon, who had been clearing up, turned his head and looked there. Upon confirming the appearance of his approaching son, he subconsciously brought a hand to his face.

He realized he wasn’t wearing a mask.

Namgung Cheon gave a hearty laugh and shook his head.

“Alright, you rascals. Let’s see if we can build it well.”

“Haha, just leave everything to me!”

As Namgung Yong approached and rolled up his sleeves, Namgung Cheon smiled brighter than ever. Without wearing a mask, his face was being revealed completely to the people of the Namgung family, so his feelings became strangely peculiar for no reason.

That was the same for Sado Hak as well.

The Black Oxen who had revealed themselves at some point were standing behind him.

Sado Hak, who had been smashing the wall, looked intently before opening his mouth.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going to move?”

“A-As you command!”

The Black Ox squad members, who had simply intended to stand guard beside him, broke into a cold sweat and moved quickly.

“…….”

Dan So-mi took in all those sights in her eyes.

At the sight of everyone stepping forward and trying to rebuild the Hunan Dan family, she unconsciously showed a bright smile.
