Chapter seven
Shaanxi, Volcano.
The first to confirm the betrayal and siege of the Samak Sword Sect was by far the Hwasan Sect, which was the target of the attack..
“The Three Evil Sword Sect is a betrayal.……”
Jang Moon-in, a young man who has not yet shaken off his boyishness and the youngest in Moorim's history, could not hide his bewildered expression..
“All kinds of things happen in my life..”
Danyaksa and Youngjin laughed as if they agreed with Jeong Hwi-ryeon’s mutterings..
“This is something to laugh about now?”
Myung Soo-ak and Jo Mu-yang glared at me as if they were dumbfounded..
“That's right.”
Shim Ok-ryeon, a swordsman with iron blood, was strict and serious, and agreed with a solemn face and gave a scolding look..
“No, but it's so ridiculous that you'll laugh out loud..”
Jeong Hwi-ryeon nodded as if agreeing with Young-jin’s words..
Jo Mu-yang and Shim Ok-ryeon looked disapproving, but they couldn't say anything more when Jang Mun-in came out..
‘That's amazing. I'm completely caught up.’
Jigeomong and Haksong were secretly impressed..
Jeong Hwi-ryun, a former Jangmun-in and a Jangmun-in who was brought in late by Woo Il-mun, became a Jangmun-in at the age of only 15..
After that, he grew into a great writer that no one can deny..
Although he looked light on the outside, on the inside he had deeper thoughts than anyone else..
He was passionate and sincere in his learning, whether it was martial arts or academics, and was neither conceited nor arrogant..
While absorbing the experience with Elder Hwasan Oh in a humble manner, we also maintained an appropriate relationship with him so as not to appear too low-key and condescending..
Over the past two years, he has put in so much effort that even the Five Elders of Hwasan were speechless, and as befits a person with natural talent, his growth rate has been incredible..
‘I wondered if I was overdoing it because of my teacher's death, but I was worried for no reason. He is truly a natural great man..’
Joo Seo-cheon didn't ask if this was his second chance at life for no reason..
He was a monster that made no sense considering his age..
It's not that Woo Il-moon's death didn't have an impact..
Jeong Hwi-ryun was very saddened by the death of the master he respected more than anyone else, but he thought he could not cry forever..
‘Since I have sworn to continue the long line of scholars, I will lead the Hwasan Sect so that my late master can rest assured..’
I was taught my own merits by the hero I admire, Geomsin..
I learned from Elder Hwasan Oh’s experience and wisdom and developed insight..
I never thought about alcohol or women.
I tried to reduce my eating and sleeping..
Elder Hwasan Oh was able to realize how scary a genius who works hard is through Jeong Hwi-ryeon..
After a while, 'It's a bit weird because I'm so young.' The anxiety went away, and instead, trust took over..
Although I still had a lot to learn, I was able to become a scholar respected by the elders and Hwasan Sect disciples..
“Elder Wijigyeol. How much power do you have to fight??
Except for the younger disciples..”
Jang Mun-in and Hwasan Oh Elder use honorific titles for mutual respect, but do not use extreme honorifics..
However, in the case of Jeong Huiryeon, he was a third-generation disciple and was very young, so he treated Elder Hwasan Oh with more respect..
Elder Hwasan Oh responded to Jeong Hwi-ryeon's words by saying that there was no need for him as he was a long-time scholar even though he was young and a third-generation disciple, but the master himself insisted that it was because it was more convenient, so he had no choice but to listen..
“There are about six hundred people..”
Maehwageomjang, Wijigyeol responded..
“It's small..”
“It's been a fun fight so far……”
Youngjin groaned..
The current era is called the era of war..
It continued to experience various wars, including the Seven Swords War, the Battle of Jeonghyeol, the War of the True Demons, the Samun Rebellion, and the emergence of the Amcheonhoe..
We had to restore our strength by receiving new disciples, but because the situation was not good, it was not as good as before..
“Still, it's still too early to despair.”
Jeong Hwi-ryun stood up and raised his sword..
* * *
Hanam, Murimmaeng.
“No, even the Five Evil Swordsman faction was a betrayal.!”
Kwaang!
Pang Gunpyeong slammed his fist with the force of smashing the table..
It ended up shaking because I didn't put any effort into it..
The upper echelons of the Murim Alliance were more shaken than anyone else by the betrayal of the Five Evil Blades, and especially the Three Evils..
Speaking of the Five Evil Swords faction, it was a prestigious political faction, and it was also an alliance of sword factions with the influence of the old faction and the five generations..
“We were too complacent..”
Woobaek groaned..
“I thought that even if it was a small or medium-sized sect or a major sect, only a few would betray.……”
Hwanggyeon made a groaning sound..
Currently, the majority of those who betrayed reform or revolution throughout the Jungwon Murim were only Ha Ha..
In other words, it means that it was a weak force like a small or medium-sized faction..
In the case of a prestigious political faction, it was only a small number, like Poison Dragon and Tang Myeong-In, and the entire faction did not betray..
But something like that happened this time.
It felt like I got hit in the back of the head with a hammer..
“haha……”
Hye-no laughed as if she was dumbfounded..
“How far will the prestige of political factions fall?……”
The Gyeongin incident rolled the prayer beads with a bitter smile..
The current Murim League has the greatest number of talented people in history..
Produced many heroes, including Geomsin..
However, that doesn't make any sense, the traitor was also significant..
I don't know how many times the political factions have threatened to be torn apart..
It was a total mess.
“I trusted the Five Evil Swords faction and dispatched them.!”
Gong Chu clicked his tongue and shook his head left and right..
In the case of identifying and eradicating the subversive forces in Shaanxi, there was little power left to move because everything was trusted and entrusted to the Five Evil Sword Sect..
Even if he moved now, it was doubtful whether he would be able to reach the volcano in time to help..
“Trust that has been maintained for a long time is being broken down by the current generation.……”
A sigh flowed from Ungwang’s mouth..
No one expected the betrayal of the Five Evil Sword Sect..
If you say it's not too much trust, it's more than suspicion, it's megalomania..
As mentioned, the Five Evil Sword Sect was a prestigious political faction boasting a long history, and it was like a community of destiny with the Murim Alliance..
I couldn't help but feel absurd as it was not an internal faction of the political faction but joined hands with hostile forces..
All I could say was 'I'm crazy'.
“Soldier, what should I do with this??”
Attention was focused on Commander Cheon and Zhuge Sang..
“The good news among the misfortunes was that the Hyeongsan Sect did not betray and the Jongnam Sect in the nearby area quickly dispatched disciples..”
“Phew! The key is how long the volcanic wave will survive..”
“Isn’t Hwasan’s Jang Mun-in too young?.”
“Although there is a martial arts elite and plum sword sword……”
Worry and anxiety continued everywhere..
“Probably by now, the Five Evil Sword Sect, or rather the Three Evil Sword Sect, has finished suppressing the Hyeongsan Sect and has started to move..”
I was shocked when I heard the news of the volcanic wave's attack, but fortunately the volcanic gate was not broken..
Far from being broken, it was still just gathered nearby..
It was to suppress the disciples who had been sent in advance from the Hwasan faction to meet them, and the Hyeongsan faction that did not join..
Thanks to this, the news was able to be delivered throughout the Murim League to the Shenyang branch and Joo Seocheon..
It may be called a siege, but since a disciple of the Hwasan Sect was attacked by the Three Evil Swords Sect, the expression ‘attack’ was also appropriate..
* * *
The full power of the Three Evil Sword Sect, Icheon climbs the volcano..
Considering the power of the Wulin forces, it was by no means a small number..
There were about 600 to 700 people per group..
For reference, the Samak Sword Sect chose to attack head-on..
“I will no longer avoid the volcano, nor will I succumb to it..”
Chu Ye Sae-sang looked up with burning eyes..
Although the Samakgeompa turned around due to various accumulated complaints such as inferiority complex and jealousy, they still placed importance on the reputation of the Jeongpa people..
As long as I was leading the disciples under the excuse of reform, I couldn't commit an outright cowardly act..
“Huh, it's me. Does a man who betrayed his political faction have any face left??”
Seop Deung seemed as if it was absurd, and sarcastically mocked the Three Evil Sword Sect..
The disciples of the Three Evil Sword Sect trembled, but did not react..
I felt bad because it felt like I was making excuses..
It was that moment.
coo goo goo.
“uh?”
“What, what??”
I was going up towards the front door..
Suddenly, the mountain began to shake as if its body was trembling..
“also… … Was there.”
Taesanpageom muttered..
“It's just as Cheonki said..”
Cho Ye-sae's eyebrows trembled..
“Dragon! He is the remnant of Zhuge's succession.!”
Ilpalguro’s voice rang loudly..
Joo Seo-cheon thought that after Kang-ho's appearance, it became increasingly difficult to return to the Hwasan Sect, so he had to prepare for an attack if he left his post..
So what was put forward is the institution..
“Volcanic waves are probably equipped with organs..”
I am not a soldier in the dark who will miss that..
The Zhuge Succession's name was also listed at the top of the Amcheonhoe's killing department..
He warned the Oakgum Sect that since he was close to Ju Seo-cheon, the Hwasan Sect would definitely have an organization installed there..
“joy!”
Ilpalguro snorted and walked up the hill..
The disciples of the Songshan sect followed suit..
“No matter how much it is recognized, it is ultimately just a leftover talent that only works for a ragtag group of people.!”
All in all, he had great pride in being a monk..
“It doesn't work against the famous Samak Swordsman, a martial arts elite.!”
The betrayal of the political faction, Murim, was also due to treatment that did not match one's pride..
He was very dissatisfied with the current martial arts world..
“I will clearly show that the Shaolin and Hwasan factions are also descended from the Songshan faction..”
The dissatisfaction of the Songshan faction was not limited to the Huashan faction..
Although it was not a sword sect, there was also a Shaolin temple in the nearby area..
That was the reason why I pathologically disliked the old faction, not the volcanic faction..
Seongsanpa, who was in the lead, ignored the shaking of the mountain and climbed up..
Clap.
“……!”
The disciple of Songshan Sect, who was at the forefront, stopped in shock..
The moment my foot stepped forward hit the ground, I heard the sound of something clicking..
The sensation I felt in the soles of my feet was ominous..
pabababat!
Ominousness turned into reality.
A sword suddenly shot up from beneath my feet, threatening my body..
“No way!”
Ilpalguro noticed it like a ghost and stretched out his sword..
nettle!
The body of the sword reflects sunlight and sparkles..
The sword drew a straight line and emitted a flash of light..
Jjaeng!
At the moment when the sword was about to be inserted into the crotch of the disciple of the Songshan School in front, Ilpalguro unleashed the Ilchi Sword Technique..
The sword blade, which rose with force from beneath the feet, split easily and fell without even reaching the target..
“Journal search method!”
“Indeed, it is Moonju.!”
“It's blindingly fast.!”
The Five Evil Sword Sect is not an imaginary name..
Aside from his personality, his skills are outstanding..
Admiration poured in from all over..
All of a sudden, he snorted at the compliments from those around him and turned his head back as if asking what was going on..
“Heh, didn’t I tell you? It's just a leftover talent……”
Paaat!
As if to ridicule those words, a sword rose again in front of Seongsan's door pillar..
but it wasn't one.
It was a mountain beyond a mountain, no, it was a sword beyond a sword..
Fububububu!
Dozens or hundreds of swords rise from the ground..
Pushing out trees and grass to take their place.
“Wow!”
“Ouch!”
It was the beginning of hell.
A chaos unfolds in the volcano..
A miserable scream came from the mouth of the Three Evil Sword Sect..
The martial arts achievement of the Samak Sword School is high on average..
However, the reason I couldn't avoid it was because the swords were placed too tightly..
If you dodge backwards, you will be pierced by the sword behind you..
Most of the vanguard of the Three Evil Sword Sect were caught up in Geomsan (劍山)..
Flesh was pierced and blood mist was scattered..
There were also terrible screams..
It was the scream of those who could not die..
“Ugh……”
“oh my god!”
Tired voices came from the center and rear..
“Zhuge succession!”
A hateful name flowed from Song Shanwenzhu’s mouth..
In all, he was angry at the pain of losing his disciples..
The price of pride was terrible..
The experts somehow survived, but those with mediocre skills did not..
There was damage to all three evil sword factions, but the Seongsan faction, where most of its members belonged to the vanguard, suffered especially great damage..
“Volcanic wave, you cowardly bastards! Aren’t you embarrassed?!”
Shouts from all over the world rang loudly..
“Instead of fighting fair and square, you hide behind and watch.!”
The world's greatest expert and master of flower techniques shouted at the top of his voice..
The voice was so loud that it echoed throughout the volcano..
“As Seongsanmunju said,!”
Taesanpageom also came to the front as if he agreed..
He also shouted upwards with a distorted face..
“Are you even scared?! volcanic wave!”
Just now, about 200 people lost their lives or were seriously injured to the point where they could not continue the battle due to the Sword Mountain..
The anger of the Three Evil Sword Sects echoed across the mountain, but there was no reply..
Only moans came out occasionally..
“Did you see it?!”
Popping!
Chu Ye Sae gritted his teeth and stretched out his hands in pride..
“This is a volcanic wave!”
It was a perfect opportunity to disparage the volcanic wave..
“Afraid that the proud sword of volcanoes will be destroyed by the sword of the three evils, it hides itself in a mere engine and crouching down.!
It's been a long time since I gave up being fair and square.!”
The attention of the left was focused on the situation of Cho Ye..
“To believe and follow these people as the leaders of the Five Evil Sword Sect, it is truly a shame.!
This fight is a reform and a revolution to correct what is wrong.!”
“Wow!”
volcano, midslope.
“Those……”
A disciple of the Hwasan Sect, famous for its swords, but a young man without a sword tied to his belt, frowned and muttered..
“I'll go down right away and pick them up……”
“Bang Cheol-sam, be patient..”
Maehwageomsu, Jang Seo-eun sighed and calmed down Bang Cheol-sam..
“Even though they keep saying things like that, I have to endure it.?”
Bang Cheol-sam asked in a dissatisfied voice..
“It’s just as Cheolsam said..”
Just like Jang Seo-eun, Maehwa Geomsu and Jang Hong pout their lips as if they are dissatisfied..
He also didn't look good.
“Please lower your voice. I'm going to get caught like this.”
The Fourteen Swordsmen Association, Gu Feng sighed and warned the three..
For reconnaissance, I brought in a talented person comparable to the three great disciples among the four great disciples, but the composition was a mistake..
He was excellent at martial arts, but his temper wasn't very good..
I thought about bringing someone else, but the enemy, the Three Evil Swordsman, is also not normal, so if you are exposed, you will most likely be caught..
So, in order to increase the escape rate even a little, I brought in disciples who were hot-tempered but had certain skills..
“but……”
Bang Cheol-sam tried to protest as if he was dissatisfied..
“Could it be that you were ignoring Jang Mun-in and Seo-cheon’s warnings??”
“Ugh!”
Jang Hong and Bang Cheol-sam kept their mouths shut..
Bang Cheol-sam's reaction was especially worth seeing..
Even my complexion turned pale..
“Joe, I'll be quiet..”
Bang Cheol-sam has a bad relationship with Joo Seo-cheon..
About eight years ago, it happened at the Lotus Sword Association..
Like all male disciples at the time, he had feelings for Luo So-wol, and was jealous of Ju Seo-cheon, who was the only close friend of Luo So-wol..
More than anything, it was annoying because it was so noticeable..
I thought it was right to be a match against the Yeonhwageomhoe, so I resorted to somewhat, or rather harsh, methods..
But the result was defeat.
That too was a blow.
Afterwards, Bang Cheol-sam was shocked and devoted himself to training, and his personality of being an uneasy person was somewhat corrected over time..
It would be a lie if I said I didn't dream of revenge, but Joo Seo-cheon became so ridiculously awesome that I gave up a long time ago..
After that, I lived in fear, wondering if Joo Seocheon might remember what happened eight years ago and say something..
Nowadays, whenever Joo Seo-cheon's nickname or name is mentioned, he bows his neck and appears in a low posture..
“Okay, now we have to prepare for the next one..”
Gu Feng muttered as he looked down the mountain..
* * *
The movements of the Samak Sword Sect, which was hit hard by the machine dragon's organ, Geomsan, became cautious..
There was no majestic appearance..
The three lords each selected a few elites and sent them forward first..
This was due to the dismantlement of institutions that may have been installed..
They kept their distance from the advance team, keeping in mind that they would be attacked all at once like Geomsan..
“It is an institution!”
“Activate!”
“scattered!”
Although the climbing speed was more than doubled, safety also increased and damage was minimized..
I learned how to deal with it by going through various organizations..
“It's frustrating.”
Since there was no change in the battlefield, it was inevitable that it would be boring..
I wanted to break through the mountain right now and smash the main gate of the volcanic faction, but I couldn't because of the danger..
The Three Evil Swordsmen are by no means fools..
I got angry at first because of my pride, but there was no way I would repeat that mistake..
“There won't be much time given to you..”
Finally, when the sun began to set, Cheon Seon-seong's Seven Star Soldiers came and conveyed Cheon-gi's words..
He warned that they would have to climb to the top of the volcano and conquer it before the troops dispatched from the Jongnam faction arrived..
“We know that much. go away.”
Taesanpageom seemed to have been hurt by his pride and kicked out the Seven Star Soldiers in an unpleasant voice..
The Three Evil Sword Sect formed an alliance with the Amcheonhoe out of necessity, but in fact, the relationship was not as smooth as the Jeoklim Sixteen Chae..
“Ha, but I guess you don't like the Amcheonhoe that is plotting something behind your back just because it's a political faction.?”
Seopdeung sarcastically scratched his insides..
“Shut up.”
When Chu Yesha waved his hand, the disciples of the Hyangsan Sect came and silenced Nie Teng..
“take a break around here……”
Wow!!
As soon as Cho Ye-sang's words were finished, a roar erupted as if dozens or hundreds of thunders had sounded at the same time..
“What's going on?!”
Taesanpageom was startled and jumped up..
“What's ahead?!”
Ilpalguro shouted and asked at the front line..
“Oh no! It's behind!”
Something happened that no one expected.
“no way……”
Cho Ye-sang's face turned black and died..
That was unexpected.
Quad deuk!
A sudden change occurred in the rearguard of the Samak Sword Sect..
The cause was a plum tree that had deep roots to prevent it from rolling down the hillside..
A hole suddenly opened in the trunk of a tree that had not moved for at least a hundred years..
“Bow down!”
The cry of Choye incident rang out sharply..
pababababat!
A storm of swords arose..
I thought it was as if the Tang Dynasty's highest season, Mancheonhwa Rain (滿天花雨), had unfolded..
From the plum tree, different types of memorization filled the sky, no, the mountain..
As the trees were crowded together, the number was not in the three or four digits..
There were really too many to count..
If it was coming from above, you could hide under the branches of a tree, but since it was fired from the trunk, there was no answer..
What was really scary was that it was pouring in all directions, not just one direction..
‘got hit!’
Cho Ye-sae bit his lip and swung his sword..
The light reflecting the sunset was like the color of blood..
Chae chae chaeng!
I block the swords pouring forward..
I was able to block it somehow, but the problem was that my students lacked internal strength..
“Wow!!”
“Ouch!”
“evil!”
The gates of hell have opened.
‘I thought all the institutions were dismantled, but……!’
It was a negative effect due to previous calculations that only paid attention to space..
Also, I didn't worry about it because I thought it was safe after I had already passed or where I was now..
that was the problem.
In the first place, there are very few people in the current martial arts organization who have institutional knowledge..
Even in the Zhuge Dynasty, where institutions were the specialty of the political sect, there was only the Zhuge Succession, so there was no doubt about other places..
It was possible to receive help from Cheon Gi-seong of Amcheonhoe, but the Samakgeompa refused due to pride, which led to this result..
“Kiryoooooong!”
Studies that were ignored as foolish.
That study… … Attacked those who ignored them.
