Chapter 272
Episode 272 Why Us??
There was someone who stopped Jin Ha-gun as he walked to the carriage. It was Jin Ha-ryeong, his younger sister..
“I'm attending a banquet?”
“what's wrong with you?”
“For some reason. I came out to say goodbye to my brother..”
“Why are you doing something you don't do before?.”
Having lost their parents at an early age, the two grew up relying on each other. So there was a lot of love for each other. But this was the first time Jin Ha-ryeong came out to see him off like this..
“Is it because of him in the sword dance??”
“what do you mean?”
“Did you come out because you were worried about him??”
Jinha knew that his younger brother had a connection with sword dance during the last Soryong battle. I also know that my younger brother was able to be safe thanks to the help of the sword dance at that time..
Jin Ha-ryeong couldn't say no, and he couldn't say yes..
If I said I was worried about my brother, my pride would be hurt, and if I said I was worried about the sword dance, I would be misunderstood..
“He is not an easy opponent. Never let down your guard. I'm here to tell you that.”
“I also know how extraordinary he is. Be careful.”
Jin Ha-ryeong grabbed his brother's arm as he was about to get into the carriage..
“When dealing with him, you have to let go of your preconceptions. It's like this because it's Mine. Don't think like this. He's not the kind of person you think he is..”
Jinha didn't know exactly what his younger brother was worried about. Because I've never seen a sword dance before..
“Sword Dance He was too big. If you don't break the momentum now, you won't be able to do anything about it later..”
Jin Ha-ryeong was also listening to the news about the sword dance. The news that came was surprising. I remembered the first time I introduced myself under a pseudonym..
―It's a sword. It is not the character for fate, it is the character for smoke. I will stay like this and then disappear like smoke..
Perhaps, to her, he was not a sword dance, but a sword dance. Because when it was all over, it really disappeared like smoke. That's probably why. The reason why I think of him every now and then. I heard that you have become the head of a small church. I would like to at least say congratulations..
Since there was no way he could know her feelings, Jin Ha considered Geommugeuk to be his enemy..
“I believe. Any malice can be overcome through negotiation. So don't worry.”
Then Jin Ha-ryeong spoke carefully..
“What should I do if that person is the devil??”
Although he is a magician, he is a warrior with a common sense. I didn't know it when I watched the sword dance, but when I thought of him after we parted ways, the word "magic association" suddenly came to mind. This is a magic cooperative that is not bound by old ways or formalities, but always adheres to the things that must be observed, so it is not a stuffy cooperative that refuses to do so because of this or hesitates because of that, but it destroys things without hesitation..
“Could such a person exist? Those things are just words made up by luxury people. Keeping the agreement is not such an easy task. This is something that demons who are crazy about their own pride can never accomplish..”
The carriage carrying Jinha departed. His attendants followed him on horseback..
Jin Ha-ryeong sighed lightly as he watched the scene..
“I meant to throw away those preconceptions..”
She believed in her brother, and she clearly had faith in sword dance..
However, Jinhagun's actions today were a fight for martial supremacy. There was no telling what would happen when ambitions clashed and desires ran wild..
That's why her eyes were full of worry as she looked at the carriage running in the distance. Seeing him worry about something he had never done before, he realized that he had become an adult and that Moorim was moving towards a new era..

“Why us??”
As soon as we met, Hyeolcheondoma asked harshly..
But I could feel it. That Thomas is excited. This was the first time I was called in when I needed the help of the Mazons..
“There is a need to create an atmosphere of fear. You didn't do anything, but it's like there's an emergency in the Honam region..”
Then, Hyeolcheondoma glanced at Gwonma and nodded with an expression that said, “Then you made a good choice.” There are only a few people in the world who can react like that in front of a fighting horse..
“Why do I?”
Of course, the atmosphere of fear was the responsibility of the knight, so this was a blood chopping block..
“The old man is in charge of horror.?”
“what?”
Surprised, Hyeolcheondoma looked back at Gwonma again..
“Then why did you call this person??”
“We need smart people too..”
“This guy!”
Before Hyecheon Doma got angry, he rushed to hug me..
“Elderly! I missed you.”
In fact, the person in charge of the face was Kwon Ma, and the person in charge of spicy ginger was Hyeolcheon Doma..
Hyeolcheondoma avoided what I was trying to hug using footwork..
“When I came to Honam, I was completely humiliated! How I hoped you two would come.!”
“You must have done well. Who were you harassing??”
“You're mistaken.!”
After chatting with Hyeolcheon Doma in such a noisy manner, I greeted Gwonma this time..
“Master, I wanted to see you..”
Gwonma said bluntly.
“What help do you need??”
Even if you said, ‘I really want to conquer the martial arts world!’, he was a persuasion horse who would just say, ‘Let’s go!’ without another word. It was that reassuring. That's why the joy I felt in that bluntness felt even better..
It's so good to see you again, Master..
It really felt like I had gained a thousand soldiers and ten thousand demons with the arrival of Hyeolcheon Doma and Gwonma..
“Well, now that you two are here, let’s have a fight with the whole of Moorim.?”
I explained the current situation to the two people..
“……Now that the Apostolic Alliance has arrived, we have enough justification to move..”
“I guess the Apostolic Alliance has already decided which faction to absorb..”
As expected, the experienced Hyeolcheon Doma understood the core of this collaboration without even having to say it..
“also! I am an elderly person.”
Because there was a clear division between the factions that supported the Apostolic Alliance and those that supported our church. There was no need to argue with Bisain about this part..
“The Apostolic Alliance?”
“We are currently absorbing the factions..”
Then Gwonma suddenly stood up and said:.
“Let's go too. No need to waste time.”
If you just show Gwonma's face, this matter is already over..
* * *
A banquet was prepared at Cheonhwamun Gate..
The banquet was held at night and was staffed by trustworthy military personnel..
Seo Cheong was excited at the thought of meeting the person who would become the Murim lord..
‘Since you said the successor is young, I will have to try to persuade him. It's okay to use this opportunity to advance into the Murim League..’
Don’t you have experience hanging out with and leading the young late-stage exponents of the Honam region? The young guys were confident they could handle it well..
On the other hand, Seo Baek-jung was just staring at the entrance nervously..
The time had passed, but none of the Bangpa leaders who followed Cheonhwamun had come. If Jinhagun came before them, it would be a disaster..
Seo Baek-jung became anxious and scolded his confidant, Yu Maeng..
“Why didn't anyone come??”
How can you know the reason??
When he hesitated and could not answer, Seo Baek-jung asked as if interrogating him..
“Was it true that I gave the message properly??”
“you're right.”
“Could it be that the date was given incorrectly??”
“no. What is this matter that you have neglected to convey??”
“If you do, why don't you come? Go ahead and check it out..”
“yes.”
Even after sending Yu Maeng away, Seo Baek-jung was restless. I had a bad feeling about something. It's normal to come earlier than the scheduled time, even if it's just for yourself..
At that time, a subordinate came running and reported..
“The Lord of Destruction has arrived.”
Seo Baek-jung was surprised at those words. Jinha arrived earlier than the scheduled time..
The door opened and the warriors of the Destruction Demon Corps swarmed in and took control of the surroundings..
Seo Cheong, who was watching, was surprised. When the first Demon Demon Warrior entered, I thought he was the Demon Demon Demon Lord. The spirit of the warriors of the Destruction Demon Army was unusual enough to create such an illusion..
When the eyes of the Destroying Demon Army warrior standing nearby made eye contact, Seo Cheong turned his head first. It was incomparable to the late exponents I hung out with..
Soon after, Jinhagun entered there. As a great master, his prayers were different from those of the mortal warriors. Jin Ha-gun had a certain dignity that was difficult to treat lightly..
Originally, Seo Cheong's plan was to approach with a sly look and say, 'Let's do well together in the future, young dancers, right?' and then 'I'll guide you to a nice place.' But Seo Cheong lowered his head, unable to make eye contact..
An old man came in following Jinha..
He was wearing a pure white robe and holding a sword to his chest, and the atmosphere was as if a immortal had descended upon him..
A presence that truly overwhelms everyone, Seo Baek-jung recognized who he was at a glance..
‘It is a swordsman.!’
I had seen him before, albeit from a distance. He was surrounded by countless masters and received a warm welcome. He was truly a peerless master whose prayers were never forgotten once seen..
Geomseon Lee Hak-shin (李學信)).
He was an absolute leader of the political faction and one of the best swordsmen in the martial arts world. He was also a friend of Jin Paecheon, the martial arts leader. Jin Pae-cheon asked him to assist his grandson in his trip to Honam..
Seo Baek-jung ran out to greet Jin Ha-gun..
“Welcome, great lord..”
“Nice to meet you, Moonju..”
“Thanks to your help this time, my son was able to be safe. I will not forget this grace.”
Jinha just nodded and said nothing about it. Instead, I introduced Lee Hak-shin to him..
“This time, Mr. Geomseon especially went out together..”
Seo Baek-jung’s waist went down to the point where it touched the floor..
“It is an honor for the family to meet Mr. Geomseon..”
“Nice to meet you.”
The swordsman greeted him with just those words. He did not like the idea of absorbing Cheonhwamun. Because it was accepting those who had not walked the correct path until now for political reasons. Although it was against his beliefs, he came forward to do a favor for his friend..
“Now, please sit down here..”
Jinha sat at the head table, and Geomseon stood a little away. In terms of distribution, he should have sat at the head of the table, but this time, he focused solely on protecting Jinha. Since that part was already discussed with Jinha, Jinha focused on the purpose of today's visit..
The soldiers of the Myeolma Dae pierced the alcohol and food prepared in the banquet hall with silver needles to check whether they were poisoned..
“No one has come yet.”
Seo Baek-jung was stung by Jin-ha’s words. Originally, everyone should have come and waited, but something unthinkable happened..
Seo Baek-jung calmly poured the drink and said,.
“I called them a little late because I wanted to spend time alone with the great lord..”
Then he turned the topic to showing off his power..
“There are over thirty sects that follow this text. If they are all absorbed, the Murim League will be able to seize hegemony over Honam..”
It may seem like we should take a low-key approach by saving our son, but that was not the nature of this incident. He was still the one holding the sword hilt..
The saving of the son should be interpreted this way. How necessary was Cheonhwamun that it would have risked conflict with the Demonic Cult to intervene? Moreover, is only Cheonhwamun being absorbed? About 30 breakwaters along Cheonhwamun are also provided as a bonus..
‘You have to steer the negotiation to your advantage..’
Jinha, on the other hand, was reticent to say anything. The other person is like a snail who has been through all sorts of hardships. When dealing with such a person, you should be sparing in your words and only say what is absolutely necessary. If you talk too much, an experienced opponent will find your weaknesses in it..
“As you might guess, most of them are followers of the Heavenly Demon Church and the Apostolic Alliance. In order to absorb them into the Murim Alliance, the Great Lord will have to show great power..”
Jinha was determined to change their minds. If you don't get them, using your own authority will be half the success..
“Even if you want to show your strength, you won't come..”
When Jinha said it with a smile, Seobaekjung also took it as a joke..
“It seems that he is afraid to dare to meet the Great Lord of Destruction..”
Afterwards, Seo Baek-jung tried to bide his time by saying various things, but no matter how long he waited, they did not appear..
Seo Baek-jung was exhausted and his hands were shaking. He was taking the gamble of his life by risking his family, but the people who were supposed to show up were not showing up. something happened.
At first, Jinha thought that Seobaekjung was fighting. But soon I sensed something was wrong. Meanwhile, the door to the banquet hall finally opened..
“came!”
Seo Baek-jung shouted with a happy face and looked towards the door. I hoped everyone would rush in, but one person entered through the open door..
At that moment when everyone's attention was focused, the Destruction Demon Corps flew out to protect Jinhagun and block him..
Chaeng.
They all drew their swords in unison..
The person who entered without hiding his fraud was Bisain..
The Four Apostles also drew their swords and stepped forward..
The Death Demon Squadron and the Four Apostles faced each other, pointing their swords at each other..
Behind Visan, Goeak and Gwangseom entered. The expressions of the warriors of the Destruction Demon Corps hardened. At first glance, it was obvious that they were masters who surpassed their skills, and the morale they exuded was so intense that it took my breath away..
That was right then..
Hwiiiiiii!
A ray of refreshing energy blew like the wind and pushed away the encroaching morale. It was a prayer uttered by Geomseon. As the fraud was pushed back, the expressions of the warriors of the Destruction Demon Army became relaxed..
Then, Goeak and Gwangseom further increased their strength and unleashed their morale. Geomseon was not pushed back by the two offensives..
As an invisible fight broke out between them, a tense atmosphere instantly arose, and the moment someone accidentally dropped the dagger, a blood battle could break out..
When the atmosphere was getting increasingly hostile, Bisain turned around and spoke politely to Goeak and Gwangseom..
“Right now I have to talk to the lord over there for a while, so why don't you address the seniors' concerns a little later??”
Then, the morale emitted by the monster and Gwangseom disappeared. Whether they wanted to or not, they definitely followed the orders of the Little Lord. The swordsman also retrieved his prayer and glared at the two Safa experts. They knew very well who each other was. The eyes exchanged this conversation..
―He's still alive.?
―There is so much evil in the world that there is no time to die..
But since they brought precious people with them, there were no more emotional fights..
Bisain stepped forward and said:.
“I am Bisain, the minor leader of the Apostolic Alliance..”
When he revealed his identity, the atmosphere in the hall froze..
In particular, Seo Baek-jung trembled with fear. A person who should never appear has appeared..
And I finally knew. Why don't the leaders come?.
‘They all turned around!’
Seocheng retreated far away at the appearance of Bisain and prepared to run away at any time..
Jinha stepped forward and greeted me..
“I am Jinha, the ruler of the Murim League..”
It was the first meeting between the two. They looked at each other as if searching. Later, when he became the Murim Lord and the Sado Lord, he would become his lifelong enemy..
“How did you become an uninvited guest?.”
Bisain gently accepted Jinha’s reprimand..
“So I came here to ask. Why did the invitation that was supposed to come to us go there? I think it was a mistake.”
“Unfortunately for you, it wasn't a mistake. Because Lord Seo Munju has already decided to join forces with the Murim Alliance..”
Then Bisain looked at Seo Baekjung and asked:.
“Is that true??”
How dare Seo Baek-jung say such a thing??
Jinha stepped forward to replace him who was in trouble..
“Look, what are you doing in someone else’s territory??”
There was a lot of tension between the two people..
Jinha had no intention of backing down even an inch. It was the same for Bisain as well..
Both the Demon Demon Squadron and the Thirteen Apostles were tense. It was a situation where great sacrifices could have been made if a melee broke out..
That was right then..
Meeeee profit.
The door slowly opened and a new person appeared..
Everyone's eyes turned towards that place..
Seo Baek-jung was startled. The mere appearance of Bisain was a disaster, but someone who should never have arrived has arrived again..
Geommugeuk entered inside, full of demonic energy..
All twelve escorts followed him in..
The Annihilation Corps and the Thirteen Apostles that were confronting each other were divided in half and also faced the Cheonmajeon Guard..
After the sword dance, Hyeolcheon Doma and Gwonma followed behind..
Geomseon, Goeak, and Gwangseom were also startled by the appearance of the two mazons. We knew each other.
Geommugeuk spoke coldly as he instantly covered the place with demonic energy..
“Speaking of districts, let’s be clear. This is our area..”
