Chapter 267
Episode 267: You’re not in the same class as me.
The next day, the Tongcheongak warrior came running straight to me..
“Here is the information you requested about Cheonhwamun and Soyabang..”
According to him, in order to quickly provide me with information, he opened a temporary branch of Tongcheongak near the Honam region. This is the power of Sogyoju..
I looked at the data presented by the Tongcheongak warrior..
“The scale of Cheonhwamun Gate is considerable..”
I originally thought it was a large sect, but its scale and substance were considerable..
“Yes, it is the best Honam school in name and reality. Four in our school, four in the Apostolic Alliance, and two in the Murim Alliance. We maintain neutrality by interacting at this level..”
In addition to Cheonhwamun, there were other sects that maintained thorough neutrality and increased their power. This was mainly done by large sects like Cheonhwamun..
“What was the project you promoted together with Yeo So-gwang??”
“We're investigating that, but we haven't found out yet. Both Yeo Dan-ju and Cheonhwamun-ju handled things very secretly..”
If it could not be found out through Tongcheon Pavilion's information power, it seemed impossible to find out through external investigation..
“I understand. Please stop the investigation for a moment and look into the succession structure of the two schools. When the current lord of the clan comes down, conduct a detailed investigation into who will inherit the family line and who the successor who would be advantageous to us is..”
“All right.”
After finishing the report, the Tongcheongak attendant returned and I immediately called Jeokyeon..
“The banquet?”
“There is this evening.”
“Select only 50 highly skilled warriors from the Honam region and have them wait near the banquet hall..”
“All right.”
The enemy went out and I looked out the window in silence..
‘While you were doing the perfect deal, the children who were supposed to be the most perfect were becoming the worst..’
* * *
Even today, young men and women from the Musinhoe were drinking, laughing and chatting in the banquet hall..
At their center was Seocheon of Cheonhwamun..
This meeting was maintained entirely by the logic of power. The biggest influence was the family, followed by the individual's martial arts skills..
Seo Qing was a top predator in both cases and was the head of the Martial God Association..
The second-in-command of the Military Council was Seokpung (席豊) of Soyabang..
However, Lee In-ja and Seokpung were drinking in a corner seat, not next to Seo Cheong..
At one time, they got along well as best friends, but recently Seo Cheong's attitude towards him has changed. For some reason, his relationship with Seocheong was strained as he treated him coldly..
“Brother, give me a drink too..”
“you drink it.”
There were many beautiful women around Seocheng, but he had a displeased expression..
Lately, I haven't had any fun drinking or hanging out with girls. I needed something hot and stimulating. Honestly, he felt the desire to kill someone..
A few months ago, there was a fight with the Yonghwabang dancers. At that time, Seo-cheong could not stand it anymore and cut them down. There were three people killed at that time, and that was Seo Qing’s first murder..
They secretly buried the bodies of Seokpung and those who were with them..
It was after that day. It made me want to kill people. I couldn’t forget the thrill of that moment when I stabbed a person. Two more people were later killed..
The first was a middle-aged woman walking down the street at night. He was a man who did not know how to do martial arts, but suddenly he could not control his desire to kill and accidentally cut him down. He searched the woman's arms, made it look like he had been robbed by thieves, and left..
My heart didn't beat as fast as when I first killed him. So a few days later, one more person was killed. This time, it was a low-ranking warrior from the Honam branch of the Heavenly Demon Church. Was it because he killed someone he shouldn't have killed? This time my heart beat faster than it did the first time..
Once I tasted blood, my uncontrollable desire to kill was awakened..
After Seo Cheong emptied his drink, he stood up. As I left the place, I slapped Seokpung. I didn't know if he just bumped into me or if he did it on purpose, but Seokpung felt bad..
Seokpung could tell. Since when did your attitude change like that? It was because of his own mistake. While drunk, he inadvertently brought up the story of the Yonghwabang warriors that Seo Cheong killed. It was a story I brought up lightly while talking about those bastards, but I missed it when I saw Seo Cheong's eyes completely change. shit! The end is getting too long.
Seo Cheong was on his way back after seeing Sophie in the back yard..
It caught my eye to see someone practicing footwork in a corner..
Not long ago, there was a guy who was practicing the same method of footwork. Is the guy who carries alcohol arrogantly practicing martial arts? So I ordered Seokpung and Bimu to destroy it..
Seo Cheong, who was bored and thought it was a good thing, beckoned to those who were with him. They came in droves and exchanged mischievous glances as if they were looking for something to play as they looked at the young man practicing Bobeop..
“hey.”
When Seo Cheong called, the young man who was practicing Bobeop turned around..
When Seo Qing saw him, he was startled. It wasn't the face he thought. I expected a somewhat foolish and innocent face, but it turned out to be a handsome artist. He was a sword dancer.
“who are you?”
For someone who only carries alcohol, he had a certain dignity and elegance. Indeed, the reaction was not that of a working person..
“Who are you then??”
When I asked about the sword dance, laughter erupted from everyone around me. He looked like he was already looking forward to what would happen to the opponent who got on Seo Cheong's nerves..
“Do you have strong self-esteem? Well, pride is life for a warrior..”
Seo Cheong mentioned pride. It was always his method. If you light a fire with pride, the other person will always jump in like a moth to a fire. As it is now, the more eyes there are, the better it goes..
“Since I came out like a man, I should show off my skills. How about some bimu??”
“With whom? with you?”
Then laughter erupted from those around them again. This is because there was no one among Honam's late-stage indexes who could beat Seocheong..
“It's not the right level for me.”
Seo Cheong gave Seok Poong a look for you to deal with..
Then Seokpung’s expression hardened. Just like last time and this time too.
Would you be in the same class as a kid like that? But the reason you have to deal with a guy like that is because you want to blatantly ignore him in front of people..
“I did it last time, so this time…….”
“you do it!”
Seo Qing coldly cut him off. Because there were many eyes watching, Seokpung’s pride was hurt. But I had to endure it. It was not because of skill, but because of the power of Cheonhwamun..
At that time, Geommugeuk asked Seokpung..
“then who are you?”
“It's a stone storm from Soyabang..”
Then I was exaggeratedly impressed by the sword dance performance..
“oh! I heard that Soya Bang's successor is an excellent technician. In terms of skill, he is the best review index in Honam! It was you! It's an honor!”
Seokpung was taken aback by the unexpected reaction. It's been a long time since I've been praised by someone like this in front of everyone. Especially recently, more and more.
Then, Geomugeuk tilted his head and muttered to himself..
“Oh, isn't it? It's the best skill in the Honam region, but there's no way it can listen to other people's orders.?”
For a moment, Seokpung’s expression hardened. Whether he was saying it sincerely or intentionally making fun of himself, it was something that properly provoked him..
This time, Geomugeuk spoke to Seo Cheong..
“You are amazing. He took Soyabang's successor as his subordinate. who are you?”
Seokpung's face turned red as the praise that had come to him was suddenly transferred to Seo Cheong. Seeing Seochung smiling brightly made me even more angry..
“Shut up! Are you talking so carelessly about what you know??”
The exact moment when Seokpung was about to rush at Geommugeuk..
“If you attack me like this, it's like admitting that you are really that person's subordinate..”
Seokpung suddenly stopped moving..
Sword Dance began to shake him. Now it was Seokpung who jumped into the burning bonfire with pride..
Geommugeuk looked around and said.
“I guess that's really true. Everyone looks at you as that friend's subordinate.?”
Seokpung looked around..
It was a situation where someone should have stepped forward and said that they were friends, not superior-subordinate, but everyone was so concerned about Seo Cheong that they couldn't say that..
Rather, Seochung came forward..
“Why are you being swayed by this guy’s estrangement??”
I was more annoyed by Seo Cheong, who tried to stop me by using the expression, “Seokpung is being swayed.” What followed was even more annoying.
“Let's stop throwing tantrums like a girl and start dancing with that weird guy..”
They do this on purpose, knowing full well how angry these words make people..
At that time, Geommugeuk asked Seokpung..
“But if you really fight, you'll beat that guy.?”
“!”
This was something I desperately wanted someone to ask, and it was also a question that could never be answered..
“I'm holding back because Soyabang is weaker than Cheonhwamun.?”
It was true. I was confident that if I got it right, I would beat Seocheong. Seokpung had a better physique, and I never thought he was inferior in martial arts..
There was silence there for a moment. After a while, it was Seo Cheong who broke the silence..
“Why don't you say no?”
But Seokpung said nothing..
Seo Qing’s eyes became cold..
“I won't say anything until the end.?”
Seokpung still said nothing..
Absurd words flowed from Seo Cheong’s mouth..
“Look at this guy, he really thinks like that.?”
In fact, it wasn't that Seokpung didn't speak right now, it was that he couldn't speak..
My mouth didn't drop. It was strange. It was clearly not that Ahyeol had been suppressed, but it felt like some invisible force was pressing down on his chin and the top of his head from below and above. I thought it was because I was so angry at Seo Cheong..
Seocheng grabbed him by the collar..
“I really thought so?”
puck!
Seokpung’s jaw turned to Seo Cheong’s fist. In an instant, the power that had been holding me down disappeared..
“Well, it's not that.…….”
puck! puck!
The fist hit Seokpung’s face repeatedly. Seokpung, who had no idea that they were going to hit him, was furious to the end..
Dodging the fourth punch, Seokpung also threw a punch..
puck!
Seo Cheong didn't know that Seokpung would counterattack, so he was blown away and fell. Seo Cheong fell to the floor and opened his eyes wide..
“How dare you! you turned?”
The person who was more surprised and embarrassed was Seokpung. My fist went flying without my knowledge. This time too, an invisible force was at work, and Seokpung thought that the anger he had been holding in had exploded..
Seokpung shouted..
“You bastard! Stop ignoring people!”
The words I had been holding back until now came out..
Seo Cheong got up from his seat and cried out for murder..
“It looks like our Master Mason has been dissatisfied a lot..”
Seokpung was feeling fear and relief at the same time. But gradually the fear began to grow..
‘shit! You crazy guy! What on earth have you done??’
I knew very well how cruel Seo Cheong was. Because of the eyes that are watching, he will rush in to put an end to it..
It was then. A signal reached him..
―Shall I help you??
The person who sent the message was Geommugeuk..
Seokpung had completely forgotten about his existence. Now that I think about it, this happened today because of that guy. Ironically, he was watching this situation with his arms crossed..
―That guy will cripple you under the pretext of fighting. With the method you often use.
―what are you?
―Don't you want help? Then you can either say it or not.
Seocheong moved around and created space..
“Master Seok, I am applying for the position of secretary. Surely you won't avoid it like a coward??”
Seokpung’s heart was in a hurry..
―How do you help??
―Reveal the evil deeds committed by Seocheong! Then let me help you.
―Then you're really going to kill me..
―It's still the same now?
Seokpung felt the murderous spirit blooming in Seo Cheong’s eyes. I really thought that I might kill myself. He's a guy who lives and dies by his pride, and he got beaten up in front of people. This guy needs to cut off at least one limb..
On the other hand, it was a problem even if I killed or injured him while fighting. Because if you mess with the heirs of Cheonhwamun, they won't just stay there..
Seokpung, cornered in a desperate situation, looked at the sword dance. It started because of that guy, but no one was paying attention. He was like a devil. Maybe that's why I believed it..
When Seo-cheong approached, Seok-pung spoke loudly..
“Not long ago, you killed the Yonghwabang warriors you had a fight with and buried their bodies..”
For a moment, silence fell over the place. So far, things have been interesting, but now things are getting serious..
Seokpung shouted again..
“They stabbed and killed passers-by on the road, and even killed Mine..”
All the things I told you when we were best friends were pouring out..
Seo Qing looked around and said, deciding that he would definitely kill Shi Feng..
“No one believes that nonsense?”
There was only heavy silence there. Some people who made eye contact with Seocheng smiled awkwardly and said.
“Of course I don't believe it!”
“I don't believe it.”
Seocheng was elated. Even if you believe it, no one would dare say what happened today..
At that time, a word echoed through the banquet hall..
“i believe.”
The person who spoke was Geommugeuk. Everyone's eyes were on the sword dance performance..
The corners of Seo Qing’s mouth curled up..
“Okay, let’s say you believe that bullshit. So what are you going to do??”
Geommugeuk smiled and said in response to Seo Cheong’s question..
“Something like this?”
Geommugeuk pointed to the door and snapped his fingers..
Then the door began to open slowly..
Mei profit.
The first person to enter was Jeokyeon..
The escort soldiers came in after them, and after them, fifty men from the Honam region came in one after another..
“What are these guys?”
Those who were close tried to stop them, but were beaten mercilessly by the enemy and their guards and sent away..
Someone recognized the symbol on Jeokyeon's chest..
“It's a demonic religion! They are mine people!”
Everyone froze at his shout..
Only then did everyone see the demon symbol engraved on the other person's chest..
Screams erupted from everywhere. From the one who was shaking, to the one who got down on his knees, to the one who got caught trying to escape through the window, to the one who hid under the table. It was truly a crucible of confusion..
Even the provincial office was surprised..
‘They are really mine people!’
Even though he was a no-nonsense person, he wasn't at the level of shouting in front of the Demon Church..
Geommugeuk said to his subordinates.
“Now that Seok-pung has revealed all the crimes, put Seo-cheong in prison and start the investigation..”
Seo Cheong reflexively shouted..
“Whoever you like! You bastard!”
Then Jeokyeon revealed his cold demonic energy and shouted..
“Be careful what you say! He is the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church.!”
Seo Cheong was startled by those words. Seokpung and the others were also shocked..
Someone quickly knelt down and everyone else also knelt down..
“Please save me!”
Everyone shouted for help..
Amidst the clamor, Seo-cheong stood blankly and muttered with a bewildered expression on his face..
“……Are you the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church? why? Why did you come here??”
Geommugeuk slowly walked towards him and said.
“It's not the right class, but should we do a special dance??”
