Chapter 169 Summary (4)
Roar…!
As the formation dissolved and the distorted terrain returned to normal, a tremendous roar swept across the entire volcano.
Man Tong-ja, who surely thought someone would come seeking this as an omen of disaster, frowned deeply.
“Gu Yang-jeok, you bastard!”
He was already irritated from having to hide and evade the Taoist, so why did he have to break the formation?
Mantongja’s foot, filled with rage, pounded the ground with a thud.
“You bastard! Can’t you answer me!”
“……”
Even as Mantongja raged, Gu Yangjeok stared blankly at the spot where the illusion had been.
If an absolute being existed, would it feel like this?
Just facing it was unpleasant.
Part of him was also terrified, seeing the martial arts he’d built up over time being trampled underfoot.
If only it had been an illusion… his gut screamed.
Don’t fight. End it with words.
But hadn’t the illusion said this?
“You, who know nothing of me, dare borrow my power to return to the past? How ridiculous.”
The question he had buried in the dirt and never dug up again overwhelmed Gu Yangjeok once more.
What on earth was the reason he had returned to the past?
If it wasn’t the talisman of the Ten Thousand Treasures, then what was it?
It was impossible for the Great Heavenly Water to have achieved the return to the past that the Ten Thousand Treasures had declared impossible. So he had simply thought it happened for some inexplicable reason.
But now it seemed that wasn’t the case.
