View cover
There was a blood history..
Blood Demon Dancheonhwa.
It was a human disaster caused by the ninth leader of the Hyeolcheon Church and a sinner who committed all kinds of heinous evil deeds..
The Murim Alliance took action against his vicious actions..
Gupailbang, the pillar of the martial arts faction, declared that he would cut him down and opened the door to the faction wide open..
The five families said to be the most powerful in the martial arts world, the Five Great Families, mobilized their military force and financial power and set out to find Hyeolcheongyo..
There were those who stood at the forefront of them..
The Four Saints and Six Kings）.
They were the strongest teenage masters in the Baekdo martial arts world, and after using all their might, they beheaded the blood demon over a five-year war..
Suddenly.
A huge and dark battle.
Behind the sound of something being cut, there was a 'pop' falling..
It was the head of the blood demon Dancheonhwa..
“…It's the end.”
The person who was looking at that head said.
An old man with a pure white robe and white hair and beard..
The eyes of those present were drawn to the words spoken by Geomseong (？？？) Mok Seon-oh..
There was devil's blood flowing down the tip of his pure white sword..
It dripped to the floor and had an eerie atmosphere..
However, no one was afraid of it.
Now was the moment when the ugly evil karma ended, so joy was enough for those present..
Meanwhile, Geomseong looked at the side door that was closed tightly behind the fallen blood demon's body..
‘I was trying to protect that place..’
He knew something because he faced the blood demon directly..
Even though the blood demon could have run away, it did not do so..
He was struggling to raise his demonic energy as if he couldn't just give up what was behind his back..
That's why he was able to beat him.
Sword Saint's eyes narrowed..
This was because I was curious about what was in there and why he did such a thing..
Cheolpuk.
As Geomseong stepped on the blood pooled on the floor, the person standing behind him asked:.
“older brother? Where are you going?.”
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with an shabby appearance that anyone could tell was his habitual residence..
But if you were an ordinary beggar, you wouldn't be standing here..
Geolwang (？王） Mile Seok.
He was the one who sat in the ark of openness among the old factions who were called the pillars of the political faction..
“Take a moment to look around and come.”
“Yes? If that's the case, let's go together. My younger brother will personally help you..”
“Thank you too.”
When Geomseong responded jokingly, Geolwang laughed and followed suit..
Passing through Daejeon, stained with the blood of blood demons, through the side gate.
In front of him, the swordsman raised his sword and cut open the door, and only then was something visible inside..
Geomseong’s expression hardened..
“…Oh my!.”
Behind the side door was a newborn baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying on the altar..
The child was soundly asleep, as if he had not woken up despite the chaos..
‘Is this the child of a blood demon?.’
It was the first thought that came to Geomseong’s mind..
It was a thought that came to me under the assumption that even the devil who committed such evil acts would have cherished my child, and it was a thought that soon gave way..
‘…no. What parent in the world would put their child on the altar?.’
This was clearly an altar..
And what was vibrating here was definitely the scent of blood..
Geomseong was able to recall the purpose of this altar without difficulty..
‘Hex(？？）.’
They were probably trying to use this child for some kind of witchcraft..
Geomseong was angry.
And so he approached the altar to save the child..
The moment he reached the altar and held the child in his arms, Geomseong trembled..
“older brother?”
King Geol, who followed late, called him..
Immediately after seeing the child, his expression hardened..
There was only one reason they reacted this way..
That's why the child's eyes were red like blood when he suddenly opened them..
The King of Geolpo muttered lowly..
“celestial life….”
In Joongwon, blood-red eyes meant only one thing..
celestial life.
A ghostly star that throws the world into trouble just by being alive and breathing..
The child was carrying that fate.
“Let's kill.”
the girl king said.
This was said because he governs with openness and because he collects all the information of the Jungwon martial arts group..
“This child may grow up to become another Blood Demon. Let's kill him while he's still a baby..”
The Girl King knew.
So far, what kind of troubles have those who were born with this star of the devil caused in the martial arts world?.
Far away, beyond the Xinjiang River, the three great Heavenly Demons (?.
Seo Woo-jin, who was just a rogue, united the southern martial arts and created a Sapa martial arts group named Heuk Sa-ryeon..
What was the Demon Sword (？？？？？？？？？？ What was Oh Chun like? Born into a famous family (名家）), what he achieved during his lifetime was the evil deed of cutting down 100,000 common people..
“Brother, I have to kill you now..”
Geomseong’s brows furrowed at the Geowang’s fuss..
Although he fully sympathized with Geolwang's words, he still hesitated because this was a newborn child in his arms..
“…You're such a small child..”
“older brother….”
“Look. If you haven't even weaned your baby yet, how can you not even fuss?.”
“Don't be fooled. This is a ghost!”
“Aida before that.”
The King's expression hardened..
In the meantime, Geomseong looked at the child with sad eyes..
“…Aren't you a child who hasn't become anything yet?.”
The Girl King's expression became grim..
“the child will bleed.”
“Was there ever a day when blood did not flow in Murim?.”
“It may not be martial blood.!”
“Couldn’t it be the blood of the devil?.”
“older brother! That child might slaughter thousands of civilians.!”
“I could cut down tens of thousands of villains..”
The conversation did not narrow down..
Geomseong simply pitied the child who had not yet become anything, and Jiewang warned him of the troubles that would follow..
If we continue like this, there will be a stabbing situation..
Only then did Geomseong raise his head, face Jiewang directly and ask:.
“It's a hanging.”
“….”
“What did we come all this way for??”
The Girl King answered with both fists clenched..
“…I came to catch the blood demon. And I did it.”
“What did you do that for?.”
“what? Of course not! peace! You came here for the cooperative (?)!”
“Then don't ask.”
Geomseong frowned sadly..
Then he asked in a quiet voice..
“Just because it may be dangerous, is it illegal to cut a child who has not yet become anything??”
rattly.
The Geolwang’s movements stopped..
The eyes widened greatly, but then frowned miserably..
Geomseong’s words continued..
“Is that the only reason we take up swords? Peace is the goal. This is a process. However, if you are dishonest in the process to achieve your goal, can you call it a conspiracy??”
It was sophistry.
For the sake of peace, it was natural to make this kind of sacrifice..
However, Jiewang could not refute.
there was no other reason.
That's because the one standing in front of him and speaking out loud like this is none other than the Sword Saint..
Sword Saint (？？) Mok Seon Oh.
This is because he is the one who sits on the highest throne among the six kings of the four natures, and at the same time, he is a great knight respected by the martial arts faction..
Unable to overlook injustice, always thinking about negotiation, and never backing down in the face of danger, Jiewang could not bear to refute the situation when the person he regarded as his brother spoke these words..
“It's a hanging. I can't do that..”
The Sword Saint's gaze turned towards the child..
The child, who was only looking at Geomseong despite the shouting, began to laugh when his eyes met..
When Geomseong stretched out his hand, he began to tightly grasp his index finger..
The Girl King looked at that..
What appeared on his face was worry and sadness..
How much time had passed? After pondering for a long time, the King finally slumped his shoulders and said:.
“…You are truly a coward, brother..”
The words uttered with a fit of laughter were an unquestionable surrender..
Geomseong smiled softly..
“Thank you. For listening to my stubbornness.”
“What do you plan to do?.”
“i will raise it.”
The Jie King’s head tilted..
“My brother.?”
“Yes, since I was stubborn to save it, shouldn’t I raise it with my own hands?.”
The child was still holding the Sword Saint's finger..
Then he brought it to his mouth and started sucking it..
Geomseong burst out laughing..
“…I will punish this child. I will raise you like that so that you can live a life of resistance to your destiny..”
“Well, I can’t stop you, brother..”
The Girl King shook his head..
The way he spoke was blunt, but that didn't mean he was in a bad mood..
No, it would be correct to say the opposite..
He was feeling refreshed inside..
Seeing him looking at the child who would become a ghost with such hope, the King of Geol was once again reminded of the reason why he had come to regard him as his older brother..
‘Even if you are talking nonsense, you must somehow keep your words..’
The weight of the name Geomseong in the Jungwon martial arts world was equal to the weight of the cooperative acts he had performed..
That's why I inadvertently look forward to it..
perhaps.
Indeed, maybe Geomseong will raise that child to be a thief rather than a demon..
“Mokriwon(？？？）.”
“yes?”
“That would be a good name for the child. My last name is Mok(?), and my first name uses the characters ri(?) to rule and yuwon(?). I hope that I will grow up to be a child who can control the root within me well and control myself..”
Geomseong raised his head and looked at Jiewang..
There was a very handsome smile on his face..
“How are you??”
The Girl King looked at the child..
A pale child with blood-red eyes.
The red color of those eyes will gradually fade as they grow..
Also, unless the child is drunk with blood, it will not be revealed again..
If the child grew up according to his name, he would never see red in those eyes again..
“…That sounds like a good name..”
The King of Geol smiled and answered like that..
And then he spoke in a slightly subdued tone..
“You succeeded in persuading me. I trust my brother, so I have no choice but to follow him. But….”
The Geulwang pointed out the door with his chin..
“How are you going to convince those out there??”
The question was about other masters in Daejeon outside the gate..
Geomseong smiled and answered as if he was troubled..
“I hope you understand.”
“Those Cheads? I think it's absolutely impossible. No one else knows, but the King of Poison will never allow it. The Tang family has sacrificed too much in this war..”
“Isn't that a crime to ask this child about?.”
“At least he won't think so..”
The mood became sharp again..
Sword Saint's worries deepened, and King Jie waited silently..
The answer that followed at the end was the same as before..
“It would be right to ask permission from them too..”
“older brother….”
“Isn't it impossible to deceive them with my greed?.”
Geomseong came down from the altar with a smile..
Now there was a child in his arms..
“Let's go.”
Geomseong went out the door..
Those who were waiting for Geomseong with the Blood Demon's body in front of them had different expressions on their faces as they saw him holding him in his arms and listened to the words he spoke..
The conversation that took place in Daejeon that day was not recorded..
There is only one thing that Joongwon Moorim knows.
The only thing that happened was that on the day Blood Demon died, the brightest star of the martial arts faction voluntarily gave up its name..
