Chapter 6
The next day, a group of people left Jinyisangdan..
Zhou Seo-cheon led the group, and Zhuge Succession participated as an advisor..
And twenty people were brought in from Geumui Inspection Gate..
Also, although invisible, ghosts followed along..
“We are going together this time too..”
Choryun grinned..
“Hehehe, master. Don’t we have a lot of experience??”
Choryeon stroked Zhuge Seungye's head as if he was cute and made a mess like a bird's nest..
“Ugh! This ignorant woman is just!”
When Zhuge Emperor got angry as if he was fed up, Chu Lian just laughed and laughed it off..
“Are we really going to invade Jeoknim Eighteen Houses on our own??”
One of the warriors of the Geumui Sword Gate asked anxiously..
“No way.”
Joo Seocheon shook his head and smiled as if to reassure himself..
“Don't worry, there are people who will join you when you go to Chongqing..”
“gulp.”
The increase in people was both reassuring and nerve-wracking..
This means that the scale of the fight is increasing..
Although he was trained by a monster named Mugok and became stronger, Jeokrimsip8chae is still not the name of the next door neighbor..
“It's a shame that guy didn't come along..”
Choryeon glanced toward Shandong and quenched her appetite..
Galpungsobgaek also received some teachings from Mugok when he stayed at the upper level..
When I first saw him, I didn't think much of him..
Since becoming a galpungsaggae, my confidence has increased as much as my martial arts skills..
But when I tried to build up my pride, I experienced hell..
That's when I realized it was another monster..
“Because I have to stay at the top.”
The top of the gold suit is weaker than before..
It's still barely holding on, but it will get worse over time..
Even if that wasn't the case, I was annoyed by the Seungnyangs who sensed the abnormality of the Geumui Sangdan in the upper world and were overstepping their territory..
Someday something difficult will happen, and at that time you will need the power of dance..
So I left it on purpose..
Wireless goes without saying.
It was a very dangerous journey for her who knew nothing about martial arts..
Above all, if she goes, dance will follow..
Even though I earnestly requested it, I could not accompany him..
“Brother, who are we joining??”
“You will know when you go.”
As soon as we arrived in Shandong and heard about the situation, we sent several Jeonseogu to places where they could receive help..
“The death penalty, which has many things to hide, has a knack for surprising people. Yes?”
Luo Sowol laughed and joked..
But the weight of the joke is not small.
Even the eyes weren't smiling.
“Big, big.”
Joo Seocheon cleared his throat and scratched the back of his head..
“Samae, I'm really sorry for leaving you alone..”
A few days ago, after hearing the detailed situation from Sang Sang-ju, as soon as the story was over, I went to visit Nak So-wol and reunited with him..
At that time, Nak So-wol said, 'Isn't it Daehyeop, the Maehwa Jeonggeom, who left me alone and enjoyed the pungryu alone, even though we were supposed to go together on Gangho?' “, she said coldly in a trembling voice..
Afterwards, I was forgiven only after I explained the situation with a reasonable amount of lies about what happened in Jeongju and Shaolin..
As Joo Seo-cheon was scratching his head and not knowing what to do, Nak So-wol chuckled and laughed softly as if it was fun..
“just joke. All my anger has gone away. Originally, I thought he would pout a little more, but then the death penalty is too pitiful..”
Nak So-wol smiled playfully..
Even that smile was so pretty that it made my heart pound a little..
Meanwhile, there were people keeping an eye on the group that left Shandong..
The greatest enemy was the Amcheonhoe..
“This is a contact from Cheon Kwon-seong. It is said that the Maehwa Jeonggeom started from the top of Geumui..”
Cheon-gi, who was just holding a brush, opened his eyes sharply..
“I heard that Maehwa Jeonggeom and the owner of the Geumui Sangdan are quite close, and that is true. Are you struggling after realizing the situation too late?.”
As Ju Seo-cheon predicted, Amcheonhoe tried to get hold of the gold robe in order to attract military funds..
However, even though there were several suggestions, Lee Ui-chae did not even pretend to listen, and the leader was in a very bad mood..
So I decided to take it instead and went on an attack..
“At this point, I will be able to completely eliminate all the things that are interfering with the meeting..”
Maehwajeonggeom, Ju Seocheon!
How could I forget that name?.
He is the one who ruined the long-planned plan by burning the Blood Root Sutra under the pretense of justice..
In my heart, I wanted to catch him and kill him right away that day, but I couldn't do it as I ran into the volcano wave..
So I waited for him to come back to power, and the time has finally come..
“I prepared it, but my sword is a bit lacking..”
Tianqi frowned as if he didn't like it..
Not long ago, the Amcheonhoe lost its leader and faced the worst situation of an information vacuum..
That's why I'm not usually busy.
I tried to fill the empty space of Cheonjeon by reducing my sleep..
There are a lot of things to do first and foremost..
In the past, it was shameful that everything was ruined by burning the blood root system, but it wasn't enough to put a lot of effort into..
Cheon-gi is a person who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters..
I knew what to prioritize.
Although my preparation was flawless due to my meticulous personality, I still felt a bit anxious and had many regrets..
However, it was a part that had to be conceded no matter how much care was taken..
“Recently, I heard that they even delivered the Prajna Divine Technique to Shaolin, right? You are making all kinds of slander, from number one to ten. You've had a lot of talent since you were young, but you're also blessed with luck..”
Cheongi clicked his tongue and strengthened the hand holding the bot..
However, that expression seemed somehow uncomfortable..
‘Is this really a coincidence??’
Even if I try to move on, I can't shake the feeling that I went to a back yard and didn't wipe my behind..
My heart kept wandering.
Uncertainty gave rise to doubt, and thoughts continued to linger, but reason appeared and criticized me, saying I had no time for this..
I think I can come up with something if I think about it a little, but I can't proceed because the main thing of Amcheonhoe comes to mind..
I hated this feeling of my chest being clogged, but Cheonki shook his head as if trying to shake off distracting thoughts while licking his lips..
Ju Seocheon passed through Shandong and Henan and arrived at Shaanxi..
Although we saw a volcano, we did not stop by and headed straight south, arriving at Angang in front of Chongqing..
When I grabbed the guest and took off my clothes, the door opened and a visitor came..
“Jang Hong’s brother-in-law, Jang Seo-eun’s sister-in-law!”
Nak So-wol widened his eyes as if he was surprised..
Standing at the end of the line of sight were swordsmen with plum blossoms drawn on their sleeves..
Among them, the man and woman in front looked familiar..
They were Jang Hong and Jang Seo-eun, who were from Yeonhwagak in the past and later appeared in Kangho before the two..
After that, disciples of the Hwasan Sect followed suit..
“Priests!”
Jang Hong came dressed brightly..
“Long time no see, death. I'm glad you look healthy..”
“I'm glad you look healthy..”
The youthful appearance of the past was nowhere to be found..
Jang Hong, who now exuded manliness, grinned..
As various things were involved, Joo Seo-cheon was comfortable being alone both before and now, so unlike other people, he did not visit the members of the Hwasan faction..
There were many other things to do, so I didn't have a chance to meet people I knew..
In fact, this is my first time seeing it in Gangho..
Previously, I saw it at Hwasan during the return from the Seven Swords War..
“This guy didn't try to hog the Naksamae.?”
Jang Hong asked in a soft voice while poking his side, and I could get a glimpse of Jang Hong in the past through his eyes..
Liveliness and a bit of playfulness still remain..
“Don't make a big deal out of it, death penalty. Rather, I heard that this time, it was confirmed that the plum blossom inspection was conducted together with the sister-in-law..”
“okay. I was lucky.”
The crowd looked surprised at the name Maehwageomsu..
The warriors of Geumui Sword Gate who were nearby even gasped..
‘Elite Swordsman of the Volcanic Sect!’
How can you not know its name?.
If there are Arhats in Shaolin, there are Maehwageomsu in Hwasan..
That name, which was only allowed to twenty-four people, was a weight that even the previous masters could not easily accept..
People then tapped their knees as if they remembered something from the names Jang Hong and Jang Seo-on..
‘Jang Hong, Maehyeopgeom (梅俠劍), Jang Seo-eun (Jade Plum Flower)!’
Maehwajeonggeom is not the only late index in Hwasan..
Because he became such a hot topic, the names of his other disciples were buried for a while, but of course, there were also disciples who had already made a name for themselves..
Jang Hong and Jang Seo-eun were in it..
Even before the Seven Swords War, he made a name for himself by hanging out with the descendants of the famous great sect..
He also visited Guizhou, where he had previously visited, and made sufficient contributions to fight against Sima Yudu..
Both of them have been trained since they were young, and both of them worked hard while being stimulated by the monstrous priest..
As a result, by the time he appeared in Kangho, he had become one of the few late-stage exponents..
Although it was not included in the Oryongsambong peaks, its name is well known..
“I didn't know you two would come..”
Although they asked for help from the volcano, I expected them to be the youngest of the four great disciples..
Of course, this matter is close to personal..
Since Joo Seo-cheon hung out with Geumui Sangdan without worrying about what was going on around him, that connection can be found out with just a little research..
No, without even looking into it, isn't there a rumor that Jeoklim 18chae is currently aiming for the gold medal?.
If they contact you in that situation and say they will subjugate Jeokrimdo, it is clear what your intention is even without looking at it..
It's not like the Jeoknim 18 Houses are harassing the powerless people..
So I didn't have high expectations because it wasn't an appropriate justification for sending support..
“I thought it was around 10 people at most.……”
There were twenty people including Jang Hong and Jang Seo-eun..
“Because I owe Jeokrim.”
“okay. Have you forgotten the memories from when you were at Yeonhwagak??”
In the past, when I first appeared in Kangho.
After successfully completing the mission in Guizhou, on the way back to Huashan, he was attacked by pirates on the Yangtze River..
And on that day, Ju Seocheon was caught in a torrent and went missing, and the Hwasan faction thought they had lost their young disciple..
Fortunately, Ju Seo-cheon returned later, but at the time, Hwasan gritted his teeth and held a grudge against Jeok-rim..
He's angry about the attacks, but isn't he a student who hasn't even reached adulthood? He's from Yeonhwagak, a talent institution that prides itself on it..
“Still, I didn't know you would send me a plum blossom inspection..”
“haha. Anyway, the main priest is used to being floated for a long time. Although I was selected, it is not yet a plum exam..”
“If I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have come out..”
You can't look down on the Jeoklim 18-chae, but it's still not at a level that makes you send out the plum blossom swordsman..
“I'm sorry if you were disappointed because I was an expert swordsman..”
“Could that be possible?.”
Joo Seo-cheon was thankful that Jang Hong and Jang Seo-eun came..
I was happy not only because of his strong martial arts skills, but also because he was happy to be with his brother, who was close to him in the Hwasan Sect..
Aren't you always alone in your past life?.
It was a good feeling to be with the executioner of a recluse like this..
Meanwhile, while Joo Seo-cheon was enjoying his reunion with his executioners, Jeokjeopsip8chae also heard the news..
“Geumui Sword Gate sends a punitive force?”
There is no way you don't know the name since you are in the middle of stealing a gold suit..
Aren't you fighting with them, trying to plunder in various places?.
But in the meantime, I saw a name that caught my attention more..
“Ju Seocheon and Zhuge Succession……”
There's no way you don't know that name. Isn't he the one who caused the Huashan faction and the Zhuge family to lose?.
About seven years ago, the Murim League and Sadocheon fought over territory in Gwiju..
As for the result, it was a complete victory for the Murim Alliance..
Although the damage was not fatal, Apostle Heaven's pride was greatly hurt by the fact that it was a 'complete defeat'..
Sado Heavenly Lord, who did not want to suffer like this, trapped the Hwasan Sect and the Zhuge Sect, who were the leading figures at the time..
At that time, the group's return trip was along the Yangtze River, so Surimguchae was the perfect place, so I left it to them..
But even that didn't work out the way I wanted..
Who would have thought that the Fourteen Swordsmen would defeat the Taoist Spearmen at the Yangtze River?.
“I should have killed him then.!”
Later, I heard that he miraculously survived, but I didn't really care about such a child..
However, as time passed and he heard the name Plum Blossom Jeonggeom again, Jeokrimsip8chae became nervous..
It's not like anywhere else, it's a nine-way fight. If a disciple of Hwasan holds a grudge and becomes a master, you can't just ignore it..
“Huh, why make such a fuss??”
“Even if you call yourself a hero, you are ultimately just a kid. I heard that the number is small..”
“Unless it's a mountain or a river, there's nothing to be afraid of when they come to stick their head in the tiger's mouth.!”
“Maybe they're trying to make kids who are outside come back by making them cautious..”
What the top tier of gold has is not normal..
Even if you steal just one, you will get enough money to complain about it for a while..
The creditors did not want to give up this money..
If you get scared for no reason and bring in your subordinates, it will be even more damaging..
“Just respond with the remaining kids.!”
“If you get scared and hide from just one person, how can you be called a man with a dick??”
“cancer! yes! who are we!”
“Isn’t it Jeokrimdo Island that rules the mountains and rivers?!”
“ha ha ha! then! Hello! Skip the alcohol and women!”
* * *
The punitive force that joined the Huashan Sect disciples at Angang went straight south and arrived in the northern mountains of Chongqing..
For reference, in the meantime, I encountered some thieves on the street, but I easily dealt with them without any effort..
“All I can see is a forest..”
Zhuge Liang made a tired expression..
As I thought about the road ahead, I felt like I wanted to go home..
Green Forest Island was not located here for nothing..
Chongqing is mostly comprised of mountains and forests. This is especially true in the North.
As the day grew dark and the punitive force settled down in a suitable place and was about to undress, a presence was felt..
“everyone!”
Chu Lian took the lead, and the warriors of the Jinyi Sword Gate guarded the surroundings centered on the Zhuge succession..
The disciples of the volcano also opened their eyes fiercely and gave out sword-like force..
The speed at which he reacted as soon as he felt his presence was unusual..
“it's okay.”
When Joo Seo-cheon raised his hand to stop him, a middle-aged man with an unusual appearance walked out from the bushes..
“oh! Gluttony!”
Joo Seocheon saw that face and greeted him as if he was happy to see him..
“You're still rude, Joo Seocheon! Who is gluttonous?!”
Dae-sik, or rather Won Dae-sik's face turned bright red..
“Does your brother know someone??”
Luo Xiaoyue asked, tilting her head to the side..
Then Won Dae-sik’s expression changed in an instant..
Since ancient times, people have been kind to beautiful women..
“It is said that he is Won Dae-sik, a warrior of the Tang family. Although it is not enough, I am protecting Lady Dokbong by her side..”
“poisonous bee!”
The punitive force widened their eyes as if they were surprised..
“The lady is waiting, Joo Seocheon.”
Won Dae-sik frowned and gestured with his chin as if telling me to follow him..
The punitive force packed their luggage again and followed behind..
“Death penalty, you asked the party for help.?”
Nak So-wol stood next to him and asked curiously..
The group that followed behind them also pricked up their ears and focused..
Wouldn’t it be reassuring if the Tang family, one of the five major powers, joins?.
“That's not right.”
“Then perhaps……”
“poisonous bee.”
“bongchu!”
When the sad star came out, I felt like I wanted to hold my heart..
I will definitely remove that nickname later..
“Priest, I believe you didn’t call me because you wanted to be stabbed in the middle of a subjugation. It's really okay?”
Jang Seo-eun asked quietly..
I was worried that Won Dae-sik might hear..
The anecdote about the nickname Bongchu is very famous..
People knew about the relationship between Joo Seo-cheon and Tang Hye..
However, what I knew was a little wrong..
Most people believe that Tang Hye harbors a deep grudge against Ju Seocheon after losing a bet..
Any martial artist knows how scary it can be if the Tang family harbors resentment..
Even if they were from the same political party, it was the same..
Jang Seo-eun and the group were worried about that..
“it's okay. I made peace with Dokbong. She is quite close to her..”
Joo Seocheon pounded his chest and boasted..
“Welcome, Jucheon.”
It's Ju Seocheon.
“I forgot the name because I haven't seen it in a while. Joo Cheol-seo.
As an apology, will you take the poison I prepared for you? I couldn't sleep because I was looking forward to seeing you rolling around on the floor, holding on to your melted stomach. Because I’m confident this time.”
“……?”
When the punitive force first saw Dokbong, they were mesmerized by its off-white color..
Even the fact that it was poisonous was an attraction..
It's not for nothing that men take risks and challenge the odds..
The beauty of the phoenix was amazing.
‘Good thing I followed along..’
‘Hey, I'm really going crazy.!’
Just being with Nak So-wol makes me anxious, can't sleep, and makes my heart tremble, but to think that Dang-hye is also with her..
Even if you can't say a word in conversation, if you travel with them, there will be a line of envious men lined up..
“Let's stop talking and get to the point..”
Joo Seocheon turned his head towards the place where Nokrim Sanchae was located..
“Preparation?”
“Don't worry, I arrived four days ago and finished it..”
“good.”
Joo Seocheon smiled in satisfaction and relayed the strategy to the punitive force..
“In front of this is Daehochae (大虎塞), one of the Green Forest Quarters. We will attack when the sun rises..”
“Captain, you should have told me in advance. I'm ready to fight, but I still need to prepare for a strategy..”
There is a big difference between fighting without knowing and knowing..
If there is no strategy, you will be anxious, and if there is, it is better to tell in advance. that helps.
Even though we got here, we were a little late because we had to coordinate our opinions..
“It's not that difficult so don't worry.”
‘Because someone might be hiding here..’
The reason I didn't tell you about support wasn't out of spite or to surprise you..
If it becomes known that the Tang family, especially Dokbong, is participating in the war, the vigilance of Amcheonhoe and Jeokrimsip8chae will become more severe..
Isn’t it best to strike when you are off guard?.
It doesn't matter if you go on a rampage, but there's no reason to create unnecessary alarm before you reveal yourself..
‘It starts now.’
Wangpal was a gangster who often threw punches on the street..
The profits mainly came from the people's pockets..
However, it was only for a short time, and unluckily, it touched the family of a government official..
Afterwards, he ran out as if he was afraid of being chased, and Wangpal, who had been wandering around, entrusted himself to Daehochae..
But that life was not very satisfying..
Wangpal was a bit of a puncher, but people like that were common even in the mountains..
It wasn’t green for nothing..
Even though two years have already passed, Wang Pal has only just left the terminal stage, and the treatment was so-so..
Even if he tried to rape the women he had kidnapped, it was impossible due to his low status, and he did not have much money or alcohol at his disposal..
“Damn, how long do I have to spend like this?!”
Wangpal complained while muttering thick curse words..
“Hee, hee hee!”
The people crouching behind the iron bars trembled at Wang Pal's shout..
I feel sorry for them hugging each other and shaking..
“Crrrrr!”
An uncomfortable crying sound was heard from a corner of the prison..
At the sound of those cries, the people in prison were terrified, shaking their bodies like aspen trees..
“How long will I have to take care of this beast?.”
Tigers are raised in Daehochae..
It's not just one or two, it's fifteen..
That's why the food you eat is not normal..
Just looking for this food made the bandits' spines bend..
I couldn't even think about it with small to medium-sized wild vegetables, but I somehow managed to get Daehochae, which is a green forest vegetable..
“I should take advantage of the moments when no one is around and complain as much as I want. If I did it normally, I would be thrown out as food, right? Tsk!”
Daehochaeju likes to throw people at tigers that have a taste for human flesh and watch..
“Whoops-!”
Could it be thunder falling?.
It was powerful enough to make you think that way..
The sound alone makes my body stiffen..
“Sigh Sigh……”
Cries of fear are heard from the prison..
“Shit! You're hungry again and you're in trouble!”
Wangpal frowned and got irritated..
It's already been a year since I started this job..
If you hear it, it's fake..
Even though I couldn't talk to the tiger, I could still make out some of its roars..
“Let’s see, which guy should I choose?……”
Although he is the lowest of Daehochae, to the kidnapped people, Wangpal is the King of Yeomna who holds the line..
“Ugh, huh!”
“Wow!!”
The people inside the prison clung to the walls and crouched as much as possible as if they had seen a ghost..
“Are these crazy? Why is there so much fuss today??”
When it's time to throw food,
I don't want to be noticed, so instead of making noise, I usually become quiet..
Kwasik!
“uh?”
Wangpal's eyes got so big that they seemed like they were going to pop out..
At that moment, my vision rotated halfway..
The body drew a horizontal line as if lying on the floor..
However, the body did not fall to the floor but was floating in the air..
I tried to figure out what was going on, but I let out a groan as the terrible pain assaulted me from my waist..
Kwazijic!
“Shut up, turn off!”
The immense strength of the jaw puts pressure on the lower back..
The fangs pierced the skin and devoured the intestines..
When he tried to struggle, the tiger's heavy front paws crushed his bones, breaking them..
Wow! Crackling!
A frighteningly eerie sound filled the interior of the prison..
It was an instant that Wangpal became a piece of meat..
People hugged each other, mouths shut, and bodies trembled..
Crrrrr!
A tiger with a bloody mouth raised its head..
Those eyes, which overwhelm the surroundings, shine fiercely with hunger..
The tiger stared intently into the iron cage full of food..
I know very well where that narrow and unpleasant place is..
Isn’t this where you’ve been imprisoned?.
I was struggling to get away.
But I couldn't get out.
Even if there is food to fill my stomach, I cannot take it out..
It's a pity, but I have no choice but to move on to another place..
Isn’t there food outside anyway?.
After stuffing the faceless human into his mouth, he headed upward..
“Jungneung~I
1, 1-, .
“Hmm!”
“Okay!”
When the tiger retreated, people belatedly started crying as if they were relieved..
But even for a moment. I closed my mouth again as the ceiling lit up and a shadow jumped out..
“Do not worry. I'm here to save you..”
