Chapter 11
The Jungwon martial arts group was shaken by the demonic movement..
“Good thing.”
The Apostle Heavenly Father was relieved..
Now that the force was reduced by half, I was very worried about what might happen if the political faction or the Madoise attacked..
But fortunately, it fought on its own even if I left it alone..
“What a fisherman!.”
In reality, it was the political faction and Madouise that were fighting, but it was Sadocheon that benefited..
The Great War of Blood and Blood broke out, but at the same time the forces of the blood religion were defeated, the Ten Chairs of the Supreme Heaven were reduced to the Eight Seas of the Supreme Heaven..
Upon hearing the news that Hyeolma and Geomseon had become friends, Apostle Cheonju burst out in joy in his office..
I couldn't stop laughing when I heard that Maqiao would soon invade the central plains..
“Heaven helps Sadocheon..”
I almost lost everything because of my stupid son's mistake..
Luckily, I had a luxury like today..
“Sun Tzu's Art of War says that not everything can be solved by war alone, but that's literally true..”
It meant winning without fighting, meaning solving the problem by means other than war..
I have never been more positive than today.
In fact, he won without fighting any of the forces that divided the martial arts world..
Regardless of whether you win or lose, you will suffer great damage, so it was better to accumulate strength before that..
The Sado Heavenly Lord watched over the war while leisurely and reliably recovering the Sado Heaven, which had been split in half..
“Ten thousand demonic cultists are advancing toward Cheonghae, and the main forces of the Murim Alliance are also flocking to Cheonghae..
Cancer, that’s how it should be. If we overdo it and don't stop the invasion of the Demonic Cult, it will be a big problem..
It's a bit unfortunate that I can't eat a piece of land during this golden opportunity... … Well, it doesn't matter.”
Most political factions moved to prevent the invasion of the Demonic Cult..
However, perhaps because he was concerned about Sado-cheon's backlash, he stationed the minimum number of defensive troops..
Of course, if you wanted to, you could take Gwiju or other lands..
But it wasn't really worth it.
It would have been better to reorganize, increase strength, and then win with all might after the Great War..
“But what is the Namyang Lake Act??”
Even the apostles and heavenly lords did not understand the actions of Namyanghobeop..
In fact, the Demonic Cult must be busy preparing for the Great Demon War, but a person named Four Great Guardians came all the way to Shanxi alone..
No, he may have been hiding in Shanxi originally..
But I was curious why I was in Shanxi..
More than anything, I was concerned about the nonsense about not fighting..
Meanwhile, the Murim League also focuses on the movement of this Namyang protection method..
“The emergence of the Namyangho Law is not without its share of suspicious aspects, but it is a good opportunity..”
Zhuge Sang visited Nangong Weiwu and said,.
“We are in a situation where a political war is just around the corner..
Although it is impossible to capture a Shaolin monk, just killing him is beneficial..
You can raise the morale of your allies to the maximum..”
As a demonic cult, it doesn't really matter if anyone dies unless it's the cult leader, so morale will remain the same, but the Murim Alliance is different..
There is no need to say what kind of reaction you will have if it becomes known that you have disposed of the enemy's Four Great Protection Acts and leaders before they even begin..
“When I heard it, I heard that a Shinseung would step forward, but is there really a need for the support of the Murim Alliance??”
The Shaolin Temple requested that it be entrusted entirely to the revenge of its enemy, Bang Bul-tong..
It was not a decision to withdraw all the power needed for the Battle of Jeongma, but it was decided to respect it due to the nature of the martial arts group that places importance on relationships with beneficiaries..
Shanxi was right in front of Henan, so there was no problem..
“As you said, the Shaolin Temple will be stepping forward on a large scale, so there is no need for much support from us..
A sword dragon and a poisonous dragon are enough..”
“ah!”
Nangong Weiwu let out an exclamation..
“Is Poison Dragon planning to turn against the hero of the political faction and work hard to subdue the Great Madou, thereby relieving the now concentrated suspicion??”
“That's right. If the suspicion towards Poison Dragon deepens any further, it will interfere with his ability to function as a dark spirit..”
“Indeed, it is best..”
Namyanghobeop, Bangbultong.
Forty years ago, it was decided to kill the Great Madou, known as the Tekken Demon..
The destination was Shanxi, the last sighting site..
The Murim Alliance only sent minimal support as they were concentrating on the invasion of the Demonic Cult..
Letters were sent to small and medium-sized sects in northeastern regions such as Shanxi, Hebei, Liaoning, and Shandong..
All other forces were sent to Cheonghae..
“Because it’s a no-brainer……”
Ju Seocheon muttered as he left Hefei..
“It looks like he hasn't appeared in Jungwon since his activities 40 years ago..”
Luo Sowol smiled slightly and explained from the side..
After finishing speaking, I made eye contact and asked, ‘What do you think? 'You understand it well, right?' And it was cute that she smiled a little cheekily..
When I asked him how he knew about it, he told me that he taught me everything about the liver and gallbladder..
‘It's scary, Shaanxi's most beautiful girl.!’
The openness of answering as if possessed passed through my mind..
‘It's not a name I don't know.……’
Since he was an enemy of the Shaolin Temple and was a member of the Four Great Protection Laws, he was bound to have a high level of notoriety..
In my previous life, I was also a member of the Great Madou..
However, I don't know much about its whereabouts..
Isn’t this an old Madou who was active at the same time as Hyeja distribution?.
Even at a rough estimate, I'm seventy years old. There is no way to know.
In this case, it is set to the minimum, so it may be more..
According to the original history, he would have died during the Magic War or shortly after it ended..
Of course, there is no history of suddenly appearing alone near Shanxi and being surrounded by political factions..
If there was such an unusual case, there is no way I wouldn't know about it..
‘Really, why did you show up alone??’
I couldn't understand why he was walking around alone in the territory of political factions when the invasion of the central plains was just around the corner..
‘This is why I hate these crazy people.’
No knowledge of the future works at all.
If history had proceeded as it had in the past, we could have predicted the future at least a little, but it is not now that things have completely changed..
Insane people who don't know where they'll end up can't see everything from start to finish..
“Thanks to Nomadoo, it feels good to get some fresh air for the first time in a while..”
The party leader spoke carefreely..
But I couldn't say anything.
It was just sad to think about the sacrifices he made for his family..
“……”
Tang Hye looked at her brother with complicated feelings..
I remembered the conversation we had before leaving Hefei..
‘There is no such thing as pride in Tangga anymore..
Those who remain are nothing but losers who have resigned themselves to reality..’
It was ironic.
It is unfortunate that the Tang family, which ranks second in terms of pride in the martial arts faction, no longer has any pride left..
No, maybe that's why I have such strong pride..
It may be that they claim to be a necessary evil on behalf of the hypocrites of the political faction and want to be compensated for the sacrifices they make..
‘therefore……’
Danghye was unable to continue his next words..
But I felt some will from her..
There was always venom in her eyes..
I felt like I had some idea of where that poison came from..
Instead, Joo Seo-cheon asked Tang Hye if the people in the Tang family knew about her feelings..
‘That can't be possible.’
Tang Hye's back looked lonely..
Maybe Danghye is not as harsh a person as you think..
I had that thought..
‘A family that takes away freedom and forces sacrifice for power..
Knowing that it is wrong and hating it, but not being able to say anything to the person who is actually making the sacrifice, is like saying that what you have done so far is meaningless and wrong..’
What kind of end did Danghye face in her previous life??
Would he have resisted the fate of the Tang family to the end?.
Or did you have no choice but to accept it?.
I had that question.
In Shanxi, there are Henan to the south, Hebei to the east, Shanxi to the west, and the Mongols to the top..
Hengshan was located in Shanxi, and the faction was mainly made up of people from the Hengshan faction and the Hebei Peng family..
However, it was difficult to call it the sphere of influence of a political faction..
Perhaps because the northern barbarians were just around the corner, the influence of the government military was so strong that the activities of the Murim faction were limited..
Not only did thieves not come near, but even the warlike warriors were careful not to cause unnecessary accidents..
It may not have been a province, but the government military was sensitive because it was the northernmost province where fights with the Mongols occurred frequently..
And it was in that place that the massacre of the Great Madou took place..
The government military also vaguely heard the rumors, but stayed quiet because they said they would take care of Madu, which the people were afraid of..
Above all, didn't you say that the Shaolin monk came forward?.
I thought it would be taken care of and moved on..
Shanxi, Taiyuan Branch.
“what?”
Branch Manager Taewon's face hardened..
He asked back as if reaffirming the news that Open Island had delivered..
“say it again.”
“Near Hong County, a unit of Demonic Cult was discovered..
The size is about fifty people. It is said that they are all elites who reach the peak..”
“What kind of bullshit is that now?!”
Branch Manager Taewon's face turned earthy..
“Why are these people who should have headed to Cheonghae here?!”
Masters of the Demonic Cult have appeared.
That's about fifty people..
With this number, Shanxi will be devastated in an instant..
Shanxi is actually the furthest from the Central Plains front line..
As the influence of the government army was great, fights did not occur often anyway, so it was the last place in the Murim region..
There was no way it could have been a proper force, and the forces of the political faction in the surrounding area had already left for Cheonghae..
‘No way, Operation Yangdong?’
An ominous thought occurred to me..
However, Branch Manager Taewon immediately denied it by shaking his head left and right..
‘No matter how crazy the Demon cultist is, there is no way they would attack through sensitive Shanxi with the Mongols just around the corner from Beijing..’
There were more questions.
‘Above all, even if you are an expert, what can you do with only about 50 people? It's not like a diversionary operation..’
I racked my brain, but I couldn't come up with an answer..
‘Are you trying to join Bangbultong??’
Tekken Demon or Namyang Defense Technique..
There must be a reason why the Four Great Protection Laws of the Demonic Cult appeared alone..
The same was true for the fifty or so masters of the Demonic Cult..
It was too coincidental to be coincidental..
I thought that something unknown was involved..
“I have to send Jeon Seo-gu, no, Jeon Seo-eung.!”
Taewon Branch Manager shouted urgently..
Beep!
A clear sky without a single cloud. A hawk with a letter tied to its ankle flew through the vast expanse of the palace and arrived at a certain person..
“……Things are going strange.”
Joo Seocheon frowned..
“What on earth is going on??”
Naksowol was also lost in thought..
“The number is too small to be considered a diversionary operation..”
Mong-gak muttered as if it was strange..
“I agree. What on earth is a headache??”
Damhyang was also wondering, rolling his head back and forth..
For a scout, Bangbultong is too big..
I couldn't understand why the Four Great Lakes Act appeared alone..
In such a situation, a unit of the Demonic Cult appeared..
As Mong Gak said, it was too little to think of it as a diversionary operation..
“I think the atmosphere is unusual..
I guess I need to speed up..”
Since Ju Seo-cheon and his party departed from Anhui, they were later than the Shaolin Temple that departed from Hanam, which was closer..
However, because there were fewer people, the movement was faster..
Although the consumption of internal energy must have been quite large, the group, feeling something strange, expanded their light attack to the extreme and headed toward Taewon..
‘if……’
Joo Seocheon thought of one possibility..
