Chapter 142
Episode 142 The answer lies with you.
Chu Saeng, the master of Wolpungmun, was struggling to hold back his boiling anger..
“Don't worry too much. Several clans in Honam have pledged to cooperate with us..”
It was these words that made him angry. He was even more angry because it came from the mouth of Seok-hyung, whom he trusted..
“cooperation? how? Let me be specific. How many people will you send and when and where will you send them??”
Seokhyung couldn’t answer. They only responded that they would help, but no faction stepped forward in such a specific way. Although it was kept secret, there were already rumors that the Demonic Cult was involved..
“Imagine we are in their shoes. Do you think they would have sent you to deal with the demonic bastards? They may act worried on the outside, but they'll be busy locking down my house..”
Chusaeng suddenly stood up. Seok-hyung stopped him because he looked like he was about to break something..
“Please fix it.”
“How do I hold back when I'm angry? You demon cult bastards! I'll chew you alive.!”
Boom!
Chusaeng fired his sword and punched a hole in the wall. After the incident occurred, more than twenty holes were already created in the wall. If you block it, it will break through again, and if you block it, it will break through again..
Chu Saeng was so angry and mortified. Chimi couldn't hold back her anger. And at the root of all those emotions was fear..
I'm afraid he'll come back.
Chu Sheng couldn't sleep at night, and his nerves were extremely sensitive..
“Let’s ask for help from the Murim Alliance right now..”
The Wolpungmun was originally a Jeongsajigan sect and was not affiliated with the Murim Alliance or the Sado Alliance..
“If you do that, you will be swayed by the Murim Alliance in the future. If they solve this problem, they will use that as an excuse to obey the Murim Alliance unconditionally, and even if they don't solve it, they will use this or that as an excuse to subjugate us to the Murim Alliance..”
Members of the Murim Alliance must pay a certain amount of money to the Murim Alliance each year. It was the same for the Heavenly Demon Church and the Apostolic Alliance. Instead, when a problem arose, I was able to get help..
Money is money, but Chu Saeng did not want to belong to a political faction..
It was right then. Someone told him exactly what was on his mind..
“You don't want to fall under people who are constantly taking money from you without doing anything for you. Isn't that so??”
Chusaeng and Seokhyeong looked back in surprise. At some point, a young man came into the main hall..
Seokhyeong blocked the space between Munju and the man and drew his sword..
“Who are you??”
The two were nervous about the fact that they didn't know until someone came in like this..
Then the young man said.
“I came from Protestantism..”
I was the one who shocked them both..
I could have announced from the entrance and come in, but I didn't. Now, Wolpungmun Gate was in a hectic situation, crowded with numerous warriors from the entrance to the inside..
“Please understand. I didn't like crowds, so I came in quietly..”
Chusaeng pushed Seokhyeong back. If I had made up my mind to attack them, I would have acknowledged that they would already be dead..
“I am Chusaeng, the lord of Wolpungmun Gate..”
Having lost his father at an early age, he was one of the youngest heads of the sect in Hunan Province, and was in his late twenties..
I didn't reveal my identity to him..
“This time, I came out to deal with an incident that occurred in Gwipa. Due to circumstances, I cannot reveal your identity, but you may recognize this.?”
We showed them a new plaque with an evil spirit symbolizing our school engraved on it..
Of course, Chusaeng was suspicious first..
“The sacred tablet can be counterfeit, so you can't rely on that alone..”
“How could someone so suspicious be deceived by these guys??”
“Don't talk too much!”
When Seokhyung took a step forward, I stretched out my hand..
Shoot ahhh.
The demonic energy released from me tightened Seokhyeong’s body..
He couldn't move his body and screamed out loud. His face turned red as he choked..
“Sometimes, skills can replace status, right??”
As the demonic energy took over the surroundings, Chusheng spoke urgently..
“stop! I lost several of my subordinates this time, and I can't lose them again. Please let that person go..”
As I withdrew my magical energy, Seokhyeong was able to move while out of breath. He glared at me with fearful eyes, but was still blocking his way to protect Chu Sheng..
“I have loyal followers like you. Losing them would really feel like my heart was being ripped out of me. The same goes for Chu Mun-ju here, so you two should not act rashly..”
I said this to Seokhyeong, but in fact, I also said it to Chusaeng. Chu-saeng, who was quick to notice, sent Seok-hyeong away..
“you stay out.”
“yes.”
Seeing them leaving obediently in this situation seems to have sent a message. Since the two of them alone couldn't deal with me anyway, it was probably an order to go out and gather all the masters of the Moon Wind Gate..
Even if there were only two left, Chusaeng was proud..
“What is your intention when you do something wrong and now you are going to fix it??”
“It's not a fix, it's an investigation. Because what happened before wasn't our fault..”
Chu Sheng snorted. He was victimized by Cheonmyeonghoe, who impersonated the Mazon of our school, and he completely believed that we had done it..
Similar incidents have occurred several times recently, but not all factions in the central plains were aware of this fact yet..
In other words, it was a time when Cheonmyeonghoe did not surface in earnest..
“Please tell me what happened. If I had come to hurt you, I would be arguing like this right now.?”
Chusaeng's words must have resonated with him, and he finally opened up about the past incident..
“Some time ago, someone came to me saying that he had left the Protestant church..”
“Who did you say??”
“He was a very evil soma..”
I knew they were impersonating Mazon, but I didn't know that the target was Extreme Soma..
I couldn't help but laugh. If you really get caught by a very evil soma, why do you have to pretend to be someone else but a very evil soma??
“what does it look like?”
“I came wearing a white mask.”
but. Since he is wearing a mask, the easiest Mazon to impersonate would be Extreme Soma..
“I believed him because he was wearing a mask.?”
Then Chusaeng said with confidence:.
“He was a truly evil soma..”
“Why do you believe that??”
For a moment, Chu Sheng was overcome with anger..
“He killed the masters of the text in an instant. His face was punctured by the wind, and his body was torn into pieces by his magic. Among those who died, there was a master who is listed among the three in the text. If he's not a diabolical soma, then who is he??”
It seems to have even imitated the Demonic Gwangbokjang and Hyeolangji, the poisonous magic arts of Extreme Evil Soma. Since the situation was like this, Chu Saeng had no choice but to believe..
“After killing those who tried to protect me and turning them into a sea of blood, Extreme Evil Soma forced us to obey the Demonic Cult and swear allegiance..”
He committed unnecessary killings just to scare his opponents. That act alone is such an evil that he deserves death..
“And do you know what else he did? It would be less absurd if he at least massacred us. I would have thought that I was going to die due to unlucky fate..”
“What did he do??”
“They took my money when I left. He told me to give up all the money I can now. All the money in the main text was stolen. What are you doing on the subject of stealing?!”
It was a situation where I could understand no matter what swearing was said afterwards..
“How much money did you take??”
“It'll be around 62,000 nyang..”
Only now could I understand Chu Sheng’s anger. I also found out why there were so many holes in the wall..
“If I had lost the fight for some other reason, it wouldn't have been so unfair. Obey the Demonic Cult? Don't be funny! That was an excuse, and he killed my men like that to take the money. Do you see what I mean? My men died just for money! It would be better to ask for money from the beginning.!”
He couldn't stand it anymore and started yelling..
“Aaaah! I'm so angry I can't stand it. I will not be disfellowshipped..”
From what Chusaeng said, I thought he must have been a cheerful and happy person. If things continue like this, we will never be able to go back to that time. The families, friends, and survivors of those who died. The number of victims is not yet known.
“Right now, Chu Wenju is so angry that he can't use his strengths..”
“What are my strengths?!”
I took the paper out of my pocket and read it..
“Yuepungmunju Chusaeng, he has a clear mind and good judgment. Has strong pride and is hot-tempered.”
“That's an assessment made by some guy.?”
“Our school’s Tongcheongak Honam Jidanjuyo. Would you like to meet me sometime??”
Chusaeng looked at me with eyes wondering whether I should believe this or not, and then blamed himself in a weak tone..
“What would you do if you were bright and had good judgment? I just suffered like this helplessly..”
“Still, I have to take revenge.?”
Chusaeng's eyes tightened at the word revenge..
“I will do it, I will definitely do it.”
There was a time when I felt the same way..
Revenge even when you sleep, revenge when you eat, revenge even when you see someone. A time when I couldn't live a normal life because all I could think about was how to get revenge..
The same was true for Chusaeng. He is an enemy that cannot be dealt with by normal means..
But fortunately, just like I met Seojin, he met me..
“I will help you with your revenge..”
Chusaeng went to the table and drank the cold tea from the kettle..
“It's really not your fault?”
“Don’t you feel something strange too? If the evil Soma was really after your money, would he have taken only 62,000 nyang? All the roots of the pillars must have been pulled out..”
“If it was just some kind of entertainment?”
“If you enjoy entertainment like this, you will die at the hands of the Heavenly Demon Lord. Let's say it was entertainment. If that were the case, who would be alive here??”
“To be honest, I found it strange too. So I thought Extreme Soma was crazy..”
If you stare at the white wall like that, you'll go crazy someday..
“It's still fine. Because we met not long ago.”
Chusaeng was startled when he heard that I had met a very evil soma. But because of the skills I showed, they didn't think I was bluffing..
“Are you saying that the evil Soma is really at your school??”
For a moment, I hesitated to answer. When I left, Extreme Soma wasn't in the Wicked Song..
“There was.”
The reason I answered like this wasn't because I didn't want to argue with Chu Sheng. This is because I am confident that it is not an evil act. My father says you can never know the inside of a person, but there are still things you can know. No matter how evil Soma is, he is not the kind of person who would do something like this..
“If he is a fake, then everyone in your church is also a fake..”
I wondered how strong he must have been to even say something like this..
I walked slowly and looked around the main hall. I thought about the situation at that time. Killing the warriors at Wolpungmun Gate and stealing money.
Why on earth did they do this? For money? Or to draw us in? We must find clues about them in this incomprehensible case..
“Good. Let's say it's fake, as you say. Why on earth did that fake guy do this? Are you trying to create a conflict with the Murim League? To start a war?”
“If that were the case, it would have touched the political faction belonging to the Murim Alliance..”
“Then what's going on??”
“That's why I came. To find out what's going on.”
Chusaeng stared at me for a moment, then opened the door and went out. Outside, Seokhyeong and dozens of Wolpungmun warriors were camped out..
Chusaeng went out alone and spoke to Seokhyeong..
“Please finish all your servants, clean the guest room, and hand it over. I'll be treating you as a guest of honor for a while..”
“all right.”
Seokhyung looked happy. They called together the warriors, but they seem to have decided that they couldn't handle me..
Chu Saeng came back inside..
“The thought that you might be in the same company as him never leaves my head. Still, I plan to trust you. Do you know why? Because I have to grasp at straws now..”
Then suddenly I looked up at the ceiling and shouted.
“father! grandfather! Please help me! Please don't let me be harassed anymore! Please take a close look at the text! Please save your minions.!”
Seeing as he was destined to meet me, his ancestors are already helping him enough..
He shouted loudly and revealed his true feelings. I lowered my voice so that the subordinates outside could not hear..
“I was ruined because you came. If he is a fake Extreme Soma like you said, then I can't stop seeking revenge. If it were a true demonic religion, it would have been able to give up because it had no choice. Because of you, I have stepped onto a bridge I can never return to. I have to cross this endless bridge for the rest of my life.!”
“I will help you cross that bridge.”
In the past, I arrived late and left here without being able to properly investigate because I was in a hurry..
In those days, I didn't see my father, and I didn't see Ian. It was a time when I didn't look at others and only looked at myself, so of course I didn't look at Chusaeng either..
“There are many sects in Murim, so there must be a reason why I chose yours. Why you? He is young, bright, hot-tempered, and has strong pride. What else do you have other than what's written on this paper??”
I walked up to him, looked him in the face and said,.
“There must be a reason why they chose you. Please give an answer quickly.!”
