Chapter 5: Saeongjima)

“1,000 rolls”

“yes.”

Sweat poured down from Cheon Kwon’s body like a waterfall..

“What kind of people were the Ganja who were deployed in the Seven Swords War??”

“Kunlun Sect, Taishan Sect, Songshan Sect, Hangshan Sect. And they are warriors trusted by the Murim Alliance and Sado Heaven. Murimmaeng 20, Sadocheon 32. A total of fifty-two people..”

“okay. Then what happened to them??”

“……They were all killed by an unknown master..”

“What did you do after that?.”

“I received an order from Cheongi and was sent to the plateau to investigate..”

“tell me what happened.”

“…… We arrived two days before the Seven Swords War and investigated, but we could not find any traces of the Ganja, and the war was over..”

“haha. It's as they say.”

Amcheonhoeju laughed emotionlessly while resting his chin..

Cheon Kwon's body trembled at the sound of laughter..

“Cheon Kwon If you had prevented the blood root system from burning and taken it away, you wouldn't have done anything in the end..”

“Please kill me!”

thud!

Tian Quan's forehead hit the ground..

“no.”

Amcheonhoeju shook his head left and right..

In the darkness where I couldn't see anything, I could only see eyes..

“There is still a lot of work left for you to do. Especially with a body that moves around many places. If we lose excellent talent, future work will be troublesome, so we can't do that..”

“no. please incompetent……”

“So I captured your relative, tortured him, and then killed him..”

“……!”

Cheon Kwon's pupils trembled as he looked down at the floor..

“Don't you like it??”

“No! I am speechless because I am so deeply touched by the Lord’s generosity.!”

“Good thing.”

Amcheonhoeju laughed in the dark.

It was a smile that was closer to a devil than a person..

“Cheongi.”

“yes!”

Cheon-gi, who was prostrating next to Cheon-quan, answered immediately..

“How are your arms?.”

Cheonki's limbs were fine until not long ago, but not anymore..

I lost my left arm and became one-armed..

“Thanks to Lord Hoe's clean cut, there was no bleeding and there was no recovery. I don't even feel any pain now, so this is Cheongi. I am so grateful and grateful for your consideration.!”

It was Cheongi who was responsible for the grave of the evil demon..

And when the tomb of the evil devil was submerged, he put up a blood root scripture instead..

However, the blood root system was burned down, and the war that had been ambitiously prepared ended in just one day..

had to take responsibility.

“Aren’t you the brains of this meeting anyway? So, after much thought, I cut off the arm because I thought it was unnecessary..”

“I am truly grateful that the Lord of the Association thought of me.!”

You might think I'm crazy, but Cheongi was truly grateful for Amcheonhoeju's generosity..

Because I was able to make up for my mistake with just one arm..

“Well then, let’s get to the point and tell me what you think about Joo Seocheon..”

“It's not that I don't have any skills, but I think it's largely due to luck..”

“luck?”

“yes. During the fight that took place on the plateau at that time, Iljang San was exhausted from fighting most of the demonic cultists alone. Above all, they looked down on Joo Seocheon because he was young, and it seems like he was easily defeated due to several complex factors..”

“and?”

“Still, it is not easy to beat the world's greatest masters. Even if you are lucky, you must also have skills. He's not an ordinary guy by any means, so you need to be careful..”

“Is it Gunggui Swordsman for Sadocheon and Maehwajeonggeom for Murim Alliance? I guess Moorim is starting to feel that times are tough, and talented people are popping up everywhere..”

Amcheonhoe is not easily overcome even by its sprouts..

This is especially true if it is a prestigious newspaper like Old File Ilbang..

“Raise the killing rank to level 2 and monitor him. If you have the chance, kill as many as you want..”

“This is the guy who disrupted the main meeting plan with his childish sense of justice. I will never let you go and kill you..”

* * *

“Hell, when I heard the news right after killing that Madhu, I honestly didn't understand what had happened..”

Sang Myeong-jin spoke out his thoughts while smoothing his beard..

“No matter how much stamina and internal power you have exhausted, you can still beat a sword fighter in a head-to-head fight. It's really amazing.”

“no. This was possible thanks to a fluke..”

Joo Seocheon bowed his waist and answered politely..

“Luck is also a skill. That alone is impossible for a world-class expert. He boasts and no one will say anything, he's really humble. The future of volcanic waves is bright.”

Even Jang Mun-in of the Kunlun Sect could not have imagined that Zhou Seocheon would act like this..

“I would like to talk to you more, but I am not in a position to do so..”

Since I was a long-time writer, I couldn't stay away from the group for a long time..

A considerable amount of time has passed since the investigation of the evil demon's tomb..

When Sadochian and the Demonic Cult withdrew and the Seven Swords War officially ended, Shangmyeongjinin immediately returned to the Kunlun Sect..

The representative reporter for the Seven Swords War was Namgung Jaeyoung..

“An order came from the Murim Alliance..”

Namgung Jaeyoung called Joo Seocheon and Danghye..

“Hefei, an order to return was sent to the headquarters of the Murim Alliance. Not only me but also the two of you.”

“Is it for explanation??”

Danghye asked as if she had expected it..

“okay. Because neither Sangmyeongjin nor I know the details of what happened in front of Hyeolgeungyeong..”

“Let's do that..”

It was something I expected before I went to war..

I decided to follow without saying anything..

“Captain Joo. what should we do?”

The warriors of the Sacheon Dang family were planning to follow Tang Hye without asking, but the Geumui inspection was a bit different..

“Go back and explain everything about the war to the merchant..”

“I understand. See you later then..”

Geumuigeommun departed first and headed to Shandong, while the rest of the party accompanied Namgung Jaeyoung and left for the Murim Alliance..

It's not that far from Shanxi to Hefei, but I was exhausted from the Seven Swords War, so it was difficult to walk on my own two legs..

So during the trip, I found a horse and ran..

But it wasn't an urgent situation, so I wasn't in a hurry..

“They say Maehwajeonggeom’s martial arts skills are actually amazing.?”

“okay. I heard it directly from my disciples of the Five Evil Sword Sect..”

In the meantime, wherever I went, I received unfavorable looks..

He was only criticized for cowardly defeating Dokbong and hiding under her skirt..

However, when he played an active role in the Seven Sword War and was given the nickname Maehwajeonggeom, all views changed..

“In that case, I guess I won fairly in my battle with Dokbong..”

“Cancer, of course.”

“Come to think of it, wasn't Joo Dae-hyeop from Yeonhwagak? Isn't it a bit strange that it was in a place where only the talented people of the volcano faction gathered in the first place, and it was so bad? I expected it.”

“As soon as you heard that Plum Blossom Jeonggeom was participating in the war, didn't you swear that you, a childish child who knew nothing, were so excited that you wanted to die??”

“Big, big!”

For reference, the only members of the Return to the Return were the Namgung family and the Sacheondang family..

The remaining factions that participated in the Seven Great Powers remained in the battlefield and either organized themselves or returned to their headquarters like the Kunlun faction..

“Hehehe!”

Joo Seocheon is a master..

If you focus just a little bit on your hearing, you can hear everything, no matter how small the voice is..

Of course, I listened to all the reviews about myself without missing anything..

Since it was highly rated, a smile naturally came to my face..

It's not enough to be called a hero yet, but this was enough..

Even in my past life, I have never heard such an evaluation..

Above all, it felt even better to be recognized this much even though I was still young..

“Do you know that your face feels really bad right now? It's so creepy, I'm getting goosebumps on my arms..”

Dang-hye clicked her tongue when she saw Joo Seo-cheon looking happy..

“If your cousin buys land, you will feel sick to your stomach, but it will be even more heartbreaking if someone else has made a name for you in the war. Shouldn’t the large-hearted Daehyup be patient??”

Joo Seocheon did not stop smiling..

“Should I really tell you the pain of having your intestines torn apart??”

‘I shouldn't eat with this woman for a while.!’

Normally you have to eat alone!

Kangho Moorim How can you easily trust anyone in this scary world?.

This is especially true because the martial arts faction is black on the inside..

‘I never thought a day like this would come to me!’

A look of kindness or envy and jealousy.

All of these were feelings I had never experienced in my past life, and the latter in particular was a feeling I had had several times..

I didn't mind swearing or indifference because I had received it in my past life, but this was my first time experiencing something like this..

To put it bluntly, I felt good..

I can now walk around with my chest out and my nose up high..

“It's the Murim League... … I can see someone I'm happy with..”

“earth dragon?”

“How did know?”

Joo Seocheon was surprised..

“When I did some research on you,.”

“What is the party’s grudge?……”

It was clear that he had been investigating here and there to get revenge..

“Come to think of it, you too will be quite hectic when you arrive at the Murim Alliance..”

Oryongsambong, the best review index of Jeongpa Moorim, is not, above all, a woman’s meal from a famous family..

It was clear that they would be busy with exchanges..

Tang Hye is a very sharp-tongued person, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know etiquette..

I do it all the way to the limit..

In fact, he did not say a word to the warriors of Geumuigeommun and maintained honorific language..

Usually, if it touched his pride or he didn't like it, he would break the seal and spit out harsh words..

“Murim Alliance……”

Danghye closed her eyes as if she was in trouble..

Joo Seo-cheon was worried when he saw Dang-hye like that..

‘I'm sure the Murim League isn't wondering how I can put poison that will tear my intestines into my food.?’

* * *

Hapbi, Murimmaeng.

The first thing I saw was a grand gate..

As if it wasn't the headquarters of the Murim Alliance for nothing, the scale was grand..

Not only the gate but also the walls along the side were unusual..

It was so long that there was no end in sight..

And I saw a line of people stretching as long as the fence..

As it is the heart of the martial arts faction, there were a lot of visitors..

Normally, we would have had to wait in this long line, but since we were a group, there was no need..

There is Namgung Paegum, the son of the Murim lord, and Ilbong among the five dragons..

Of course, I was able to get in by ignoring the line in front of me..

…… 

As soon as Joo Seocheon saw the gate, he closed his mouth..

I didn't say anything, I just looked around as if watching..

‘This is what the Murim Alliance was like before the war. ……’

It wasn't the first Murim League..

I have visited a few times in my past life, but it was all after the era of war..

The first time I visited the Murim League was when there was a brief period of peace after the end of the Civil War..

In my memories, the Murim Alliance had already been devastated by the civil war..

It is said that half of it was restored when the war ended, but at that time, he was already the Elder of Hwasan..

I was busy rebuilding the Hwasan Sect, so there was no way I could leisurely go to the Murim League headquarters..

‘peace……’

I still couldn't believe that the Seven Swords War ended so easily..

Originally, it should have led to a civil war..

‘blocked.’

The Seven Swords War was a turning point toward the future..

The future will change greatly depending on what happens at this turning point..

Jeongsa Daejeon has always been important in the history of martial arts..

However, the Seven Swords War itself ended in one day and the war did not take place..

‘No one knows how this stem will change.’

The original Seven Swords War alone must have had over 10,000 victims..

Numerous personnel have been deployed to the ongoing investigation..

It was natural since it was the combined number of the Murim League, Sadocheon, and the Demonic Cult..

But people who should have died survived.

They will live and influence the future.

What would happen next was now unpredictable..

Arrived at Murimmaeng and was assigned a VIP room..

And the first person to visit the room was not a servant or maid, but someone I had not seen face to face in years..

“State small cooperative. It's been a really long time.”

He was the deputy commander of the Murim League, who would later be called Cheongunsa..

“It’s been a long time since I last saw you, Deputy Commander..”

Joo Seocheon was surprised and quickly greeted me..

‘Indeed, Confucius Miok! What kind of confidence should I live with from now on? I feel doubtful about my appearance.!’

According to my memory, I was seven years older than Zhuge Sang, so I am now twenty-five years old..

Of course, just because it's been a while since I last saw you, I didn't notice any increase in wrinkles, but on the contrary, I looked even better than before..

“There's no need to be so rigid when it's just the two of you..”

Zhuge Shang smiled softly..

I wondered how many people would have fallen in love with that smile..

‘by the way… … You really grew up well on your own..’

As the future changes, there are things to be careful about.

A representative example is taking care to ensure that major figures in history do not die..

For example, if Zhuge Sang or Zhuge Suran dies before our eyes, there is no future for the martial arts faction..

So, in my own way, I was paying attention to the two people..

However, it was only about life or death..

No matter how I tried to help, there was still nothing I could do..

The person in charge was so outstanding that even if there were obstacles, he was able to resolve them on his own, and there was a lot of support from Sega itself..

Above all, the network is not average either..

He was already friendly with the main figures of the Murim League..

It would be helpful, but it would only be in the era of war, so I was worried about how I could help..

Above all, there was one reason why I couldn't help you easily..

‘If you use your mouth incorrectly, you could be suspected..’

Zhuge Shang did not have any memories of the past, but he used to predict the future based on information and guesses..

I didn't try to kill Zhuge Sang at the Amcheonhoe for nothing..

That's how dangerous his brain was to the enemy..

If you made a joke by saying that you would help Zhuge Sang, you could have been questioned or aroused unnecessary suspicion..

“When I lost you with Seung-gye on the Yangtze River, I still can't erase that incident from my mind..”

“sorry. I should have sought succession and joined right away.……”

“No, on the contrary, I am in a position to be grateful… … I'll have to be sparing with my words on this one. I guess I'm not in a position to talk for that long..”

Zhuge Sang smiled bitterly with a regretful face..

Even though he is a deputy military officer, he is not free..

On the other hand, since it was being taken over by the military, I was busier and had no time to spare..

There was a mountain of stories to tell..

How have you been? Have you met Jang Hong or Jang Seo-eun?.

I also wanted to ask how Zhuge Heir is doing..

However, the time did not last very long, and it was time to leave the room to make up for the disappointment..

“Well then, take a good rest today and see you tomorrow..”

* * *

“Namgungpaegeom and Maehwajeonggeom have arrived at the Murim Alliance..”

“hmm.”

Apostle Heaven scratched his chin..

It's already been a week since the Seven Swords War ended..

When I first heard the results, I was more embarrassed than angry..

I was annoyed that I had lost sight of the Blood Root Mirror right in front of me, but I couldn't believe that a brat from the Hwasan Sect had killed that bastard..

“What on earth is this guy doing??”

Jang Hwa-il was a person whom Sado Heavenly Lord trusted..

Here, trust was in terms of ability..

Not only is he good at martial arts, but he is also good at leadership and intelligence..

He was an expert who was meticulous and never let his guard down..

If you got hit by Taeheo Jeomja, Yeomhwasalma, or Namgung Paegeom, you wouldn't know..

But I was embarrassed because I was attacked by some strange guy..

“Only eighteen? A talented person has emerged from the Volcanic Sect..”

I couldn't believe it when I got older..

I researched it several times and found that age to be correct..

“Talent is not average.”

Apostle Heaven's eyes narrowed..

“I guess I should put a bounty on it for future reference..”

It's definitely great, but I didn't think it was worth worrying about..

“If you're tired from fighting with so many stupid demons, you shouldn't have let down your guard..”

Apostle Heaven's carelessness was a factor in defeat..

It must have been because the other person was young and unknown..

‘It's a little disappointing that I couldn't get my hands on the hemoscope, but it's okay..

Because everyone suffered damage anyway.”

The number of victims was similar..

There was no damage from the Murimmaeng expert, but it's not something to feel that bad about..

‘It looks like it's going to be quiet for a while, so I guess I'll take advantage of this opportunity to clean up the poop that the Pokseomdomun and Myogageommun made. .”

Apostle Heaven was still struggling with two schools of thought..

* * *

Demon religion is a religion that worships power and is a martial arts force..

This ‘power’ is the ideology and source of the Demonic Cult..

Weakness is sin.

strength!

The idea of ​​the power of the Demonic Cult was very extreme and misguided..

It wasn’t for nothing that the name had “Demon” in it..

If you are strong, any sin is forgiven.

No, ‘sin’ itself was not established..

I don't care if I violate someone.

I don't care if I kill someone.

I don't care if I steal someone's property.

In any case, there was no blaming the powerful..

In the Demonic Cult, it was as natural as breathing for the strong to take away or destroy the weak..

The simple, ignorant, vicious, and crazy idea of ​​this power has continued for quite a long time and has been maintained to this day..

And the strongest person in this demonic cult could soon reign as the ruler..

Personality and manners are not a problem at all..

If you're strong, it's enough.

In the Demonic Cult, the strong person is called the cult leader or the Heavenly Demon..

Xinjiang, Hundred Thousand Mountains.

At the top of the ninety-nine stairs covered with a carpet so soft that it reached up to the ankles, men and women without any clothes on were entangled together and letting out animal cries..

“So, are you saying that in the end, Maehwajeonggeom destroyed the blood root system without leaving a trace??”

“That's right!”

The biggest victim of the Seven Swords War was the Demonic Cult..

About a thousand demonic warriors who participated in the war were nearly annihilated..

But it didn't mean there were no survivors..

Some survived and returned to Demonic Cult to report..

They described in detail what they had seen and heard on the plateau..

“I guess he was crazy about wanting to die..”

And unlike Sado Cheon, the Demonic Cult sincerely wanted the blood root system..

I tried to increase my power by obtaining the magical power of ascension..

Losing or taking damage sucks, but it's okay..

All you have to do is put in your power again and get the blood root microscope..

But that important blood root is gone..

It didn't just disappear so that its whereabouts could not be known, it burned down..

“kill it.”

The Demonic Cult began to chase Joo Seocheon..

* * *

In a political faction, honor and even dishonor are very important..

If a sect commits an act that brings disrepute, it must take care of its own actions, no matter what happens..

If not, that clan will remain in disgrace forever and will continue to be mentioned until future generations..

That's what Shaolin Temple is like now..

Shaolin Temple gave birth to the disgrace of being a blood monk, and had to take responsibility for this and end the situation..

However, in the end, it was not resolved because the blood monk was missed, and as a result, it is still mentioned today, four hundred years later..

It is a long-held wish that the Shaolin Temple could not solve..

Meanwhile, blood rhizome appeared four hundred years later..

Although he missed out on becoming a blood monk, the appearance of a nobleman who could leave behind a legacy was a genius opportunity to fulfill his long-held wish..

However, due to various reasons, he was unable to participate in the war, and instead received an agreement from the Murim League to take over the military..

“Phew……”

But Joo Seocheon incinerated it on the way..

This was not something that could be overcome as easily as one might think..

The Shaolin Temple has lost a chance to fulfill its long-cherished wish, or perhaps the last..

The Murim League was also in a difficult situation because of this..

“That's the situation now.”

Sword Saint, Nangong Weimu groaned..

The same was true for other leaders..

Everyone just looked troubled..

“Oh, I didn't call you to blame you, so don't worry. Because your actions aren't all bad..”

Nangong Weiwu smiled kindly, his eyes covered by pure white eyebrows curved like a crescent moon..

“If only you had thought and acted a little more……”

Pang Junpyeong, the elder of the Hebei Peng family, muttered as if he were complaining..

“her! I can't believe I'm being asked to think and act by that stone head! Honey, if I were you, I would kill myself right now.!”

Hwang Gyeon, the elder of openness, said:.

I couldn't tell if he was joking or serious..

Pang Gunpyeong, who was next to him, turned his gaze and glared at Hwang Gyeon as if he were going to kill him, but Hwang Gyeon shrugged his shoulders and pretended not to notice..

“Indeed, I understand what the situation is..”

Joo Seocheon shook his head up and down..

Shortly after the Murim League meeting began, I was called as a witness and I explained it as it was..

Of course, this is about what happened after the Seven Swords War began..

I didn't say anything about ganja before that..

The story itself was nothing special..

It’s not like Juseo Bay was in the plateau that day..

This was something that had already been reported several times by other people..

If there is a difference, it is up to the person in charge to explain it..

The reason the leaders of the Murim League called Ju Seo-cheon was partly for procedural reasons, but it was also to explain what happened with the Shaolin Temple..

“Joo Seocheon.”

Next to Nangong Weimu, an old man with a scholar-like style called to him..

“Yes, soldier..”

Military, Zhuge Zhonghu.

Not only did he teach Vice Commander Zhuge Sang, but he is also the grandfather..

He was originally planning to hand over the position of head of the family to Zhuge Un and then go into hiding, but at the request of a close friend, he took charge of the military..

He was one of the few veteran generals who had been active for two generations, including the Sword Saint and Nangong Weimu..

“If you don't mind, I want to strangle you. Is that okay??”

In fact, it was Zhuge Zhongho who opposed the participation of the Shaolin Temple in the war..

From that perspective, Joo Seo-cheon seemed to be the main culprit who ruined everything..

As soon as I saw it, my stomach twisted and I went crazy..

“Take it easy, my friend..”

Nangong Weiwu stopped Zhuge Zhonghu with a bitter smile..

“Hey, I suffered through old age because I had the wrong friend, and now this guy who is as old as my grandson is trying to kill me! Do you know how long it takes once they open their mouths??”

Zhuge Zhonghu grabbed the back of his neck and lost his temper..

“Soldier, you need to fix it. Aren’t you in good health??”

Joo Seocheon was truly worried about Zhuge Zhongho..

‘There isn't much left left of this inspiration.……’

The reason Zhuge Sang joined the military before he was even 30 was due to his ability, but it was also due to Zhuge Zhonghu's age..

According to memory, Zhuge Zhonghu died not long after the start of the Great War..

At best, it was two years..

“Won't you leave this job to me??”

“Baby. I think you've made a big mistake, and we didn't call you to solve this..”

Hwang Gyeon chuckled as if it was absurd..

Looking at the way one corner of his mouth turned up, it was clearly a sneer..

“First of all, there are procedures that require you to receive a report from the person in charge, and because it was your fault, it was screwed up, so explain it to the Hwasan Sect and try to do something about the Shaolin Temple's upset..”

“Elder Hwang, have you forgotten that you are currently in a meeting? I hope you will be more considerate of those around you and be careful..”

The elder of the Ami faction, Gyeonginsae (敬仁師太) narrowed his eyebrows and said..

Hwang Gyeon grumbled and apologized..

“I have an idea.”

“thought? A guy with an idea burns the blood root system.?”

Zhuge Liang was furious..

He was ready to rush at any moment..

“Dude, please calm down. Still, shouldn't we listen to the story? Tsk tsk.”

Nangong Weiwu clicked his tongue as if he couldn’t stop him..

“Whoo, whoo……”

Zhuge Zhonghu took a deep breath and calmed down his anger..

When I was able to calm down a bit, I opened my mouth and spoke in a low voice..

“Okay, tell me..”

“But it's a bit hard to say here..”

“I'm going to kill you!”
