Chapter 127 : Wokou, and Agibaldo
Gu Hui was surprised.
A divine object from beyond the body with the ability to turn back time….
To think such a thing existed.
Cheonheo continued.
"About 1300 years ago, there was a great being called King Dongmyeongseong. He was a great man, enough to found a country. The Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure is a divine object he created, possessing the miraculous ability to turn back time to the morning of the day one dies."
Е ňů m â..і̄ d
"So if you fail to kill Bulgasal, you can turn back time to that morning and challenge it again."
"That's right. That's why the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure is absolutely necessary. It's a fight we could fail."

"Then is the number of times you can go back to the past infinite?"
"No, it is not. According to the old books left in the Changbai Sect, the ability cannot be used infinitely. It is unknown how many times the past can be turned back. It's possible that the fellow who currently has the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure might have already used up all its power... Then we would have no choice but to just fight Bulgasal as we are."
"I see."
"I plan to head out to meet that junior fellow tomorrow morning."
We ḃn ӧ v̈ е̄ĺ Ĕ n̆u̇m a
"I understand. Then, where is the destination?"
"It is Mount Hwangsan, located in the southern part of Goryeo."
Through letters, Cheonheo had been in contact with his sworn brother who possessed the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure.
A while ago, his sworn brother had sent a letter saying he was heading to the entrance of Mount Hwangsan to subjugate the Wokou pirates.

Since he knew the location, he planned to head there directly.

The entrance of Mount Hwangsan.
Numerous barracks were set up in the area, and soldiers stood guard around them.
Inside a barracks located in the very center.
A middle-aged man in black armor was sighing.
He was Yi Seong-gye, the strongest general of Goryeo and the master of the elite private army unit called the Gabyeolcho.
The reason he was stationed here with the Gabyeolcho was to subjugate the Wokou pirates under the order of the royal court.

Yi Seong-gye was currently in a hopeless situation.
Currently, the Wokou pirates had set up camp on the top of a hill on Mount Hyeongsan. Their numbers reached about 12,000.
In comparison, the Gabyeolcho had only 5,000 troops. However, the Gabyeolcho possessed powerful martial arts, so they were not afraid.
Yi Seong-gye advanced his army towards the Wokou with confidence.
But the result was a major defeat.
They used the rough terrain to their advantage and crushed the Gabyeolcho.

Especially the leader of the Wokou, Agibaldo, possessed formidable martial arts. The soldiers of the Gabyeolcho died helplessly at his demonic spear skills.
Although defeated, Yi Seong-gye did not give up. It was because he had the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure, a gift from his sworn brothers.

In fact, thanks to this Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure, he had been able to avoid death for the past ten years and had won many battles.
If he died, time would return to the beginning of the hour of Chen (7:00 AM) on that day.
Thanks to this ability, even though he had been defeated and died in the battle of Mount Hwangsan, he could continue to challenge without dying.
He was now facing his 8th battle against the same enemy.
Еń u̇ḿ a..їd
"Haaah… how can I subjugate them…."
He suddenly missed his sworn brothers who had given him the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure, telling him it would help protect the country. If those men, with their mysterious immortal-like powers, were to help, the Wokou pirates could be easily defeated….
But there was no way they would step in for such a matter. They only stepped in to eliminate beings like evil spirits or demonic creatures.
In the first place, there was no reason for them to appear here.

Yi Seong-gye's sigh deepened.

After three days, Gu Hui and the Five Immortals of Changbai arrived at the entrance of Mount Hwangsan.
The Gabyeolcho army was stationed there.
The soldiers who discovered Gu Hui's party blew their whistles.
Thousands of soldiers surrounded Gu Hui's party with their spears raised.
At that time, a general of huge build standing among the soldiers asked.
"Who are you? Reveal your identities."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
He was asking for their identities, wondering if they were from the royal court.
Among the Five Immortals of Changbai, Cheonheo answered.
"I am Cheonheo. I have come to meet my sworn brother, Seong-gye. He will know if you tell him the Five Immortals of Changbai have come."
The general's gaze changed.
He had heard about them from his lord.
About the Five Immortals of Changbai, who possessed mysterious, immortal-like abilities.

To think those old men were them….
The general shouted to the soldiers.

"Lower your spears!"
The soldiers lowered their spears, and the general bowed respectfully and said politely.
"I have heard about the elders from the general in the past. I am Yi Ji-ran, a direct subordinate of General Yi Seong-gye."
Yi Ji-ran.
Е̊n.ú m̃а
He was one of the generals under Yi Seong-gye.
He possessed the strongest martial arts among the generals.
He had a close, brotherly relationship with Yi Seong-gye.
Cheonheo replied.

"A pleasure to meet you."
"Please wait a moment."

Yi Ji-ran, having said so, headed to the barracks where Yi Seong-gye was.
A short while later, Yi Ji-ran returned to the field, and next to him was Yi Seong-gye.
Yi Ji-ran asked Yi Seong-gye.
"Brother, are those the Five Immortals of Changbai you spoke of?"
Yi Seong-gye's eyes widened upon confirming the Five Immortals of Changbai.
"E-Elders…!"

The Five Immortals of Changbai's faces lit up.
"Hehe, it's been a long time, Seong-gye."
Yi Seong-gye, who had dismissed the soldiers to the sides, approached the Five Immortals of Changbai.
"What brings you elders all the way here?"
"Hmm… we came because we have a favor to ask of you."
"What kind of favor is it…? Ah, please follow me first. I will escort you to the barracks."
Ėn̈ů mä.i̇ ď
"Alright."
The Five Immortals of Changbai and Gu Hui followed Yi Seong-gye.

Soon, the party entered the barracks.
Heukgu and Jo Manhong were made to wait outside the barracks. And Gu Hui sat on one side of the barracks, waiting silently.
Cheonheo and the Five Immortals of Changbai continued the conversation.
"What kind of favor is it that the elders have come all this way in person?"
E̊n̆ŭ m̊ȧ
Cheonheo replied with an awkward expression.
"Ahem, it's… about the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure I gave you as a gift before… I'm sorry, but could you give it back to us?"
The Five Immortals of Changbai thought it was an embarrassing and shameless request.
It was the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure they had given to Seong-gye to help him protect the country. They felt sorry for asking for it back.

Yi Seong-gye could not hide his bewilderment.
To ask for the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure back….
Ěň u m а._іd̊
The reason he had been able to survive the battles with the Wokou until now was precisely because of the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure.
Without the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure now, it was a certain defeat against the 12,000 Wokou pirates camped on Mount Hwangsan.
Yi Seong-gye, who had composed his bewildered feelings, asked.
"W-why are you asking for it back…?"
"As you know, we are in the business of eliminating evil spirits and demonic creatures that disturb the world. However, the demonic creature we have to face this time has a power that cannot be compared to the demonic creatures we have faced so far. Even the previous sect master of our sect did not come out alive… If that demonic creature breaks the sealing barrier and comes out… the world will surely turn into a living hell. Perhaps the world might even have to face its end… To face it, we absolutely need the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure…."
"……."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Yi Seong-gye had nothing to say.
Protecting the country against the Wokou was very important.
But no matter how important this matter was.
It would not be more serious than the disaster the Five Immortals of Changbai spoke of.
If it was a demonic creature that the Five Immortals of Changbai said was that strong, it must be a matter incomparably more serious than the Wokou pirates.
So Yi Seong-gye could not bring himself to refuse the request of the Five Immortals of Changbai.

"……."
"I'm sorry… I'm asking you like this…."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"...I understand…. It was an item I received from the elders anyway. Thanks to the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure, I have been saved countless times until now. I am grateful for that alone. It would be greedy to try to possess the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure any longer."
"……."
"But before that, may I ask for one favor?"
"What is it?"
Е̌n ů ṁа́
"Currently, a force of 12,000 Wokou pirates is camped on the mountain ridge 7 li away. Borrowing the power of the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure, I have fought the Wokou eight times, but I have been defeated consecutively…. If we cannot stop them, countless villages in Goryeo will be plundered, and numerous residents will be killed…. So I would like to request help from the elders. Please lend your strength to subjugating the Wokou pirates…."
The Five Immortals of Changbai had troubled expressions.
The Changbai Sect had a rule that forbade killing, except for demonic creatures and evil spirits. No matter if they were Wokou pirates, they could not punish them directly.
"Because of the Changbai Sect's rules, we cannot kill…."

At that time, Gu Hui, who had been listening, stepped forward.
"If we just subjugate the Wokou pirates, you will hand over the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure?"
W е b nо̌ v́ е l̃ Ên û mă
Yi Seong-gye's gaze turned to Gu Hui.
Yi Seong-gye had thought of Gu Hui as merely an attendant who served the Five Immortals of Changbai until now.
But he was puzzled that he suddenly cut into the conversation.
Cheonheo said.
"Ah, I was in a hurry and couldn't introduce him. This young man is the disciple of my sworn brother, who was the sect master of the Cheonmu Sect, which has a connection with the Changbai Sect. He is accompanying us to lend his strength in eliminating the demonic creature."
"Ah, I see. A pleasure to meet you. I am Yi Seong-gye."

Gu Hui cupped his fists at Yi Seong-gye's greeting.
"I am Gu Hui."
Yi Seong-gye took off the necklace around his neck. A blue bead was embedded in the necklace's ornament.
Yi Seong-gye said.
"I will give you the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure now. Asking you to subjugate the Wokou is not a proposal… it's a request…."
Gu Hui replied.

"Alright. In that case, I will help in subjugating the Wokou."
Cheonheo asked with wide eyes.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"You will…?"
"Seniors, please rest. I will take care of it and come back."
Gu Hui was stepping forward for the sake of the Five Immortals of Changbai, who could not kill humans.
If he subjugated the Wokou and obtained the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure, it was a very profitable deal.
W е bṅ о v̈ е l̄ Е́ ń u m̊а̀
Cheonheo said.
"Hmm… alright. I'll ask you to do it."
Yi Seong-gye, who was listening, was bewildered.
He had expected the Five Immortals of Changbai to step forward themselves….

Honestly, that man named Gu Hui did not seem trustworthy.
He looked to be only in his early twenties….
W ėḃ nо v̊е̌l̀ Е̊ n̂ ùm̀а
Cheonheo, who had read Yi Seong-gye's anxious gaze, said.
"Don't worry. With Hui, that fellow's skills, subjugating the Wokou pirates is no problem."
"...I understand."
"And you keep the Heaven-Defying Precious Treasure. I feel too sorry to receive it yet. Give it to me after you've subjugated the Wokou."
"If that makes you feel more at ease… I will do so. Thank you, elders, and Young Master Gu."
Gu Hui said.

"In that case, please gather the troops right now."
"...? Could it be… you mean to attack the Wokou now?"
"I will be going out for a while. Just gather the troops. When I return, let's move together then."
Yi Seong-gye was at a loss for words.
He was suggesting they attack the Wokou right now, without any strategy.
And what was this about going out?
Wеb̃n̊ о̃v е̇ l̊ Е̌ n̆u m̊ ӓ
Where was he going at a time like this?
He couldn't understand Gu Hui's actions at all.

But since the Five Immortals of Changbai told him to trust Gu Hui, he had no choice but to trust him.
"Alright…."
Gu Hui left the barracks.

Е̂ n̂ u ma .і̃ d̈
Gu Hui could have wiped out all the Wokou pirates by himself, but he didn't.
He thought there was no need to exert himself unnecessarily, and he thought the soldiers should fight for themselves to some extent.
He planned to act merely as a helper to aid in the battle.
Gu Hui entered a deserted forest.

Gu Hui activated the Spirit Command Art.
[Insects, all of you, gather to me.]
Ẇ е̊ b̈n̈ о́ v̆ е̂ l Ӗ_n̄ u̇ m а̂
The range of the Spirit Command Art was a radius of 100 zhang. The countless insects existing within that range gathered to where Gu Hui was in an instant.
- Swaswaswaswasa!! Swaswaswaswasa!
The undergrowth shook continuously, and countless kinds of mountain insects gathered by Gu Hui's side. The sky was filled with flying insects.
In no time, the surrounding area was filled with insects. Their numbers exceeded hundreds of millions.
Most of the insects gathered now had weak poison. The insects with poison strong enough to kill a person were a very small minority.
Compared to the poisonous insects in the southern lands, they were very weak.

In the southern lands, he had gathered poisonous insects and killed all the warriors of the Five Great Poison Sects.
Thinking of that time, it was a little disappointing, but this much was no problem now.
Because his purpose was not to kill the Wokou with insects, but to give the Gabyeolcho an advantageous fight.
Gu Hui immediately moved his steps. An army of insects followed behind him.
- Urrr… Swaswaswasa…!
A short while later, Gu Hui arrived at the Gabyeolcho's military camp.

Yi Seong-gye had gathered the 5,000 soldiers in an open space and was waiting.
The eyes of Yi Seong-gye and the soldiers widened as if they would pop out.

"Wh-what is that…?"
"Huk…."
"What am I seeing right now…?"
Everyone doubted their eyes.
Ёn̈u m̈ а. і̆ d̀
A black cloud was rolling in behind Gu Hui. The sky was also dyed black. They were a legion of insects.
Yi Seong-gye and the soldiers were completely overwhelmed by the majesty of the insect legion.
Gu Hui passed them and said to Yi Seong-gye.
"Let's go."

Strangely, the insects did not scatter and just followed behind Gu Hui. Like loyal subordinates.
A short while later, following Yi Seong-gye and the Gabyeolcho, Gu Hui arrived at the destination.

On the steep hill, the Wokou pirates had set up camp.
The Wokou who discovered the Gabyeolcho blew their whistles.
- Piiik!!
The Wokou group prepared for battle.
Gu Hui sent his will to the insect legion.
[Wipe them all out.]

Gu Hui's killing intent was directed towards the Wokou, and the insect legion, which had perceived it, advanced rapidly towards the Wokou.
A swarm of flying insects, clustered like a black cloud, stuck to the bodies of the Wokou pirates.
- Tatadadadadadadadak!!
Countless swarms of bees and mosquitoes drove their stingers into the bodies of the Wokou pirates.
- Pupupuk! Pupupupupuk!
"Aaargh!!"

And swarms of poisonous centipedes, cockroaches, spiders, fire ants, and so on, thousands of species of insect swarms that crawled on the ground, climbed up the Wokou's feet and covered their bodies in an instant.

"Kkeuaaaah!"
"Hiiik!"
The terrified Wokou pirates. They were in a state of confusion, constantly shaking their bodies.
Yi Seong-gye and the Gabyeolcho had blank expressions. Gu Hui, who was performing such a divine feat, did not look like a human.

It would have to be a mountain spirit to be possible.
Gu Hui said to Yi Seong-gye.
"Now you and your soldiers finish it."
"Ah, alright."

Yi Seong-gye, who had composed his surprised feelings, hastily commanded his soldiers.
"Advance!!"
Е n um̂ а́ . і̄ d̆
The 5,000 soldiers charged towards the Wokou. Then they began to slaughter the Wokou.
- Chwaak! Sseogeok! Ssukeong!
The Wokou pirates were going mad.
It was not easy to get rid of the swarms of insects on their bodies, and the enemy was even attacking.
Because they were busy getting rid of the insects, the Wokou pirates could not even properly counterattack.
For that reason, Yi Seong-gye's soldiers could easily kill the Wokou pirates.

Meanwhile, Gu Hui spotted a Wokou general. He had a small build but was very fast.
That general secretly reached close to Yi Seong-gye.
Yi Seong-gye's eyes widened.
"A-Agibaldo!"
Agibaldo was the leader who led the Wokou.
Yi Seong-gye hastily drew his bow.

But Agibaldo, who had already reached close range, was thrusting his spear.
- Shwak!

Yi Seong-gye sensed his death.
Just as the tip of the spear was about to touch Yi Seong-gye's chest.
- Swaek!!
Suddenly, a sound of tearing air was heard, and in no time, Gu Hui had arrived next to Yi Seong-gye.

And Gu Hui's hand, dyed in a dark blue color, snatched the spearhead.
- Teop!
Agibaldo's pupils trembled.
To catch the extended spearhead with his hand…!

He tried to pull the spear out, but the man's grip was so strong that he couldn't pull it out.
Agibaldo let go of the spear shaft and grabbed the hilt of the sword hanging from his waist. He intended to quickly draw his sword and split the man's head.

But he could not carry out his action to the end.
Because Gu Hui's blade was drawn faster than him.
- Shik! Sseogeok!!
A vertical blood line appeared on Agibaldo's body. That blood line widened, and like a parting sea, his body was split in two.
Yi Seong-gye was so astonished he couldn't close his mouth.
'T-to bisect Agibaldo in a single blow… heh….'

Yi Seong-gye could now understand.
Why the Five Immortals of Changbai had trusted Gu Hui so much….
