Chapter 284
284fury. It's not me who should hang on
“ask for a seat?”
The leader, who looked dumbfounded for a moment, soon brightened..
He understood Baek Soo-ryong’s words to mean, ‘I will commit myself to the Murim Alliance.’.
“ha ha ha! An expert like you is always welcome! I will provide as much as I can.!”
The leader burst into laughter and his tiger-like eyes brightened as if a plan had suddenly occurred to him..
“When you get back, pack your bags. It would be a good idea for you to tour the Five University Halls with me. It will be a good example for other academic institutions as well..”
The Blue Dragon Credit Union, whose recent reputation is no less than that of the Ten Zones of the Murim, commits itself to the Murim Alliance.?
It was clear that the leader would play a big role in moving public opinion as he wanted..
However, it did not take long for the leader to realize that his thoughts were a big mistake..
“Are you packing your bags? What about Cheongryong Academic Center??”
“I will become a member of the Murim League in the future, so what does the Blue Dragon School have to do with it? We'll provide accommodation for you, so all you have to do is come..”
Baek Soo-ryong looked at the leader with an expression that asked, “What kind of dog is eating grass?”.
“Why did you suddenly quit your good job??”
“……If you don't quit, the Murim Alliance will?”
While the leader looked like he couldn't understand, Baek Soo-ryong shook his head and said..
“There seems to be a misunderstanding, but I didn't mean to quit the Blue Dragon Academy and devote myself to the Murim Alliance..”
“then?”
“It meant that we would also take a leap of faith in the Murim Alliance. If I were to be honest, I would say it's a concurrent job..”
“……Concurrent job?”
I could see blood forming on the master's thick neck..
But Baek Soo-ryong did not stop what he was trying to say..
This was because he understood that it was best to be as honest as possible with the leader..
“If possible, give me a position with great power and no responsibility. I'm so busy with work at the Blue Dragon Academy that I won't be able to go often anyway..”
The leader looked at Baek Soo-ryong as if there was such a thing as this..
“Are you kidding me??”
“I am completely sincere from beginning to end..”
Yes, it seemed like a problem..
It seemed so sincere that even as a leader who is usually hot-headed, I was confused as to whether it was right to get angry here..
I have seen many different species in the Murim Alliance, but this was my first time seeing a type like the White Water Dragon with hair..
‘Isn’t this guy scared of me??’
No matter how strong your martial arts skills are, you are clearly inferior... … . The more we talked, the more I felt like I was being stopped..
‘I can't play with his tongue anymore..’
The leader, with a hardened expression, spoke coldly..
“There is no shame in being shameless. You said you were going to continue working as an instructor at the Blue Dragon Academy, but are you asking for a key position in the Murim Alliance??”
“The Murim League is not at a loss either..”
Kwasik!
The table, already split in half, was stepped on and turned to dust. The leader bowed his huge body close to the white water dragon and growled..
“It seems like you're being picky and believing in your petty martial arts skills and reputation. From now on, you will have to be careful with every word..”
The formidable force that bloomed from the leader's body seemed to be constricting his entire body, but Baek Su-ryong calmly accepted the leader's gaze..
“Let me explain. Why is the Murim League not a loss? Rather, how much benefit can you get?.”
I could have made a compendium of blood cult martial arts right away and given it to the Murim Alliance..
Of course, I have no intention of doing something like that outright, as I am sure it will raise suspicions..
Besides that, there were many things Baek Su-ryong could do..
“First, I know a lot of advanced information about blood religion..”
“information?”
At that moment, the leader's mouth twisted and a sneer appeared..
What I meant was that you know more than me, the Murim lord..
However, at Baek Soo-ryong’s next word, the smile disappeared from the leader’s mouth..
“Do you know about the existence of an apostle??”
“how do you do that……!”
The leader's tiger-like eyes grew even bigger..
Information about the apostle is treated as a top secret even within the Murim Alliance..
It was information that Baek Su-ryong could never know and should not know..
“You will need to properly explain how you got that information..”
In the Lord's eyes, beyond surprise, even a hint of life was reflected..
If Baeksu-ryong couldn't answer properly, he was ready to attack at any moment..
Of course, Baek Soo-ryong had the perfect answer prepared..
“This is information I found out by interrogating a blood religion elder who was killed by the Namgung family some time ago..”
The leader's spirit calmed down a bit. However, his expression still showed that his doubts had not completely disappeared. He narrowed his eyes and asked.
“Why didn't you report it to me right away??”
“Do I have any obligation to report??”
“cheeky…….”
To be precise, it was because the Murim League could not be trusted..
Because I didn't know where the members of the Murim Alliance were hiding, and I didn't know how far they were rotting..
But now things are different.
It was also an opportunity for Baek Soo-ryong to face the Murim Lord alone in an environment where there was no one around..
‘leader. Although he doesn't have a very likable personality, his resentment toward the blood religion is real. We need to make the most of this opportunity.’
At that time, the leader snorted and said.
“The main position is the Murim lord. What you know is what I already know.”
“Did you know that the person who led the blood death of the Namgung family was Ilsado??”
“……of course.”
Who do you act in front of??
When I looked at him, it was clear that he didn't know..
The smile on Baek Soo-ryong’s mouth deepened..
“You're not good at lying. In the past 20 years, I know of no case in which the Murim Alliance has captured anyone above the level of an elder of the blood religion..”
“…….”
Maengju appears to have a straightforward and aggressive personality, but he is by no means a dull person..
He acknowledged the importance of Baek Soo-ryong's information..
“But that alone is not enough to demand a key position in the Murim Alliance..”
Of course there was more.
“Second, I can make a ceremony to destroy blood religion martial arts. I can say without a doubt that I am better than you..”
Just because you are strong in martial arts does not necessarily mean you are good at teaching martial arts..
In the same sense, just because you are strong in martial arts does not mean you are good at analyzing other people's martial arts..
Especially when it came to making a banquet meal, Baek Soo-ryong was proud that he was better than the Ten Lords of Wulin..
‘There are over hundreds of martial arts techniques that I have read and analyzed in my past life..’
Even if it was a martial art of a blood religion, he could write a series of expulsion ceremonies just by giving him a piece of paper..
“You can make a ceremony to destroy blood religion martial arts? Even if that were possible... … How will you prove it??”
“I already have something made.”
The leader was silent for a moment and then opened his mouth..
“…… I have no power to be surprised anymore. Where on earth did you get the Blood Cult martial arts skills? Did they also kill and steal a blood religious elder??”
That might be a good excuse, but Baek Soo-ryong gave a more plausible reason..
“King Namgung’s family is buried. Did you hear what was down there in the well??”
“……I heard it from the head of the Namgung family..”
The private affairs of the Namgung family that King Changcheongeom had been hiding.
That fact was still only shared with the leaders of Moorim..
Baek Soo-ryong nodded with a heavy expression..
“There, I found several volumes of martial arts secrets left behind by dead blood cultists. After seeing that, I made a pahoe meal..”
“……I've never heard anything like that from the head of the Namgung family.?”
“of course. Because I didn't say anything..”
“Are you saying you stole my salary?.”
Baek Soo-ryong chuckled at the leader’s absurd sarcasm..
“From whom? Dead blood cult? Or the Namgungse who annihilated them?”
“…….”
The leader, who couldn't even get his money's worth, kept his mouth shut..
“If you accept my offer, I will hand over the food and the Pahoesik I made to the Murim Alliance..”
It was a lie to say that I got a secret from the well under the Namgung family tomb..
But even though it was cheap, I could make it as much as I wanted..
Because there are hundreds of martial arts skills in Baeksu-ryong’s mind. It wasn't difficult to decorate it to look appropriately old..
‘In this way, little by little, we will promote the martial arts of the blood religion and its destruction ceremony..’
Knowing the enemy's martial arts skills in advance was similar to tying one of the enemy's hands behind his back before fighting..
“If you show me the blood religion martial arts you obtained from Maeng in addition to what I have, I will make a banquet ceremony for those as well. In the future, the blood that the Murim League will shed will be reduced by half..”
“……I have no choice but to admit this..”
Maengju sighed and muttered..
Baek Soo-ryong, who thought the persuasion was almost over, smiled and said.
“My status is to be a martial arts general..”
Murimmaeng martial arts general.
Position in charge of training of Murim Alliance warriors.
That authority was equivalent to that of the only five members of the Murim League..
“Because he’s a total criminal… … . There will be a lot of backlash..”
“You have that much power, right?.”
Even considering the reputation of the Blue Dragon Credit Union, his martial arts skills, and the fact that he was an instructor at the Five University Hall, it was inevitable that a lot of talk would come out here and there..
“Meng’s warriors are rough. It's different from teaching kids in a school..”
Baek Su-ryong chuckled..
“You don't have to worry about that. I'm used to dealing with rough guys..”
“Umm…….”
Yayulhwang was seriously thinking with his arms crossed..
The hand proposed by Baek Soo-ryong was very attractive..
High- level information obtained by interrogating the elders of the blood religion and the destruction of the martial arts skills of the blood religion.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he would help us win the war..
‘But why am I so uncomfortable??’
After much thought, Maengju figured out the reason for the discomfort..
He uncrossed his arms and stood up..
The sense of being a world expert was the identity of an unknown anxiety..
“How will you prove that you are not a member of the blood religion??”
The leader glared at the white water dragon with tiger-like eyes..
He was ready to pierce Baek Soo-ryong’s inner thoughts with just his eyes..
‘You're questioning my identity.’
The Sword King of Changcheon also suspected the White Water Dragon, but could not find out anything until the end..
Now, the level of martial arts has risen further than before..
Baek Soo-ryong stood up from his seat and looked straight at the leader..
“If I were a member of the royal family, why would I have helped the Namgung family? Even if they had just left it alone, the martial arts world would have fallen into great confusion, and the blood religion would have had a huge advantage by now..”
From the moment he heard that the Murim Lord was coming, Baek Su-ryong prepared the perfect story to persuade the Murim Lord..
There were no loopholes in this story..
“……okay. If it was Sejak, there is no reason to save the Namgung family..”
The leader also nodded calmly. But that expression was subtle.
The leader, who was silent for a moment, spoke.
“I tend to trust my senses more than anything, and I feel… … you are not a cultist.”
Baek Soo-ryong sighed in relief..
“Of course not.”
“Sore…….”
A spark flashed again in the eyes of the leader who thought he was free from doubt..
“I mean, it doesn't seem like it has anything to do with blood religion..”
“what…….”
For a moment, Baek Soo-ryong stiffened his body in fear that made his fur stand on end..
This is not just a threat.
It feels like a house-sized Daeho baring its teeth right in front of you..
Based on the answer that followed, the leader must have been seriously planning to attack him..
“I will ask you one last question. What do you have to do with blood religion??”
“I am…….”
It was the moment when Baek Su-ryong was glaring straight at the leader and was about to open his mouth..
“Leader! Stop nitpicking.”
The door burst open and Noh Gun-sang came into the reception room. After that, Zhuge Sojin, the general of the Murim League, was also seen..
“……Senior. Long time no see.”
The leader gained momentum and took control..
It was a courtesy to a senior who had fought the last war against the blood religion..
Noh Gun-sang approached with his brows furrowed..
“I heard it on the way. Do you suspect that Mr. Baek is a member of a blood religion??”
“It's not like Sejak. But there are some doubts…….”
Noh Gun-sang stepped in between the two, blocked Baek Soo-ryong’s path and said:.
“I will guarantee it on my honor. Teacher Baek is a person who has nothing to do with blood religion..”
This put the leader in a difficult situation..
He glared at Zhuge Sozhen, the general of the military, for no reason..
This is why I told you to take as much time as possible..
“……I also agree that the Blue Dragon Credit Union is not the work of a blood religion. but…….”
At that moment, Baek Su-ryong’s sharp voice interrupted the leader’s words..
“I didn't say this earlier.”
Everyone's eyes were on Baek Soo-ryong..
“Thirdly, it is the ability to move other five major points of view..”
Baek Soo-ryong took out a token of gratitude from his bosom and waved it in front of the leader..
“This is the Four Heavenly Danga, this is King Yeom’s gratitude card..”
“……!!”
The Baekho School was located in Sacheon. It was inseparable from the Tang family, the loser of Sichuan..
And Emperor Yan was the head of the Suzaku Academy and a veteran of a higher rank than Lu Jun-sang..
Having two rewards cards meant being able to move two academic institutions..
‘How can I get those two tokens of appreciation?……!’
Commander-in-Chief Zhuge Shao-jin's eyes widened..
Who would have thought that the Hundred Water Dragons had the power to move two of the Five Great Halls?!
Because it is polite not to reveal the existence of the reward plaque, everyone who saw Baek Soo-ryong receiving the reward plaque at the time kept quiet..
Therefore, this fact was not known to the Murim Alliance until now..
Baek Soo-ryong, who happened to make eye contact with Zhuge So-jin, smiled and said..
“The Namgung family did not give it to me. Since you can only use the thank you card once, just let me know if you need help at any time..”
Although it suffered great damage from the blood religion, the Namgung family was still the family that produced the most instructors..
In other words, Baek Soo-ryong could use the reward card to disrupt the Murim Alliance's event..
“Lord Maeng. Do you still think you have the advantage??”
Baek Su-ryong did not laugh anymore. His expression was as cold as ice..
“The one who should be begging for an alliance now is not me, but the leader..”
“…….”
The leader's expression turned bright red..
But I couldn't be angry.
It was clearly he who committed the rudeness first, and it was fortunate that Noh Gun-sang saw that scene..
Baek Soo-ryong had a reason to be angry..
There is also a reason to ask for something more..
“My thoughts have changed. Please give me the vacant deputy leader position, not the martial arts commander..”
“nonsense!”
“It's impossible!”
The leader and general shouted at the same time no..
But it was none of Baek Su-ryong’s business..
“If you don't like it, leave it alone.”
Baek Soo-ryong laughed and went outside..
Kwaang!
While Maeng Ju and General Gun looked at the closed door with a vain expression, No Gunsang shrugged his shoulders and said to Maeng Ju..
“That's right?”
The leader became mute after eating honey..
