Episode 839 The agreement document was still there. (4)
“Did you say Sapaeryeon?”
Hong Dae-gwang nodded vigorously at Hyeonjong’s slightly exasperated voice.
“yes! A long writer. “Sapaeryeon declared the unification of the apostles.”
“All the Apostles….”
A moan came out of Hyeonjong’s mouth as he recited it again.
However, Jo Geol looked back at Yoon Jong with a puzzled face, as if she did not understand the meaning even after hearing those words.
“I… the death penalty.”
“why?”
“What is the unity of the Apostles?”
Yunjong, shocked, turned to look at Jo Geol. Jo Geol, who read the young contempt in that expression, protested as if it was unfair.
“Oh no, I know what it means! “Aren’t you trying to unite Sapa?”
“…okay. “I’m glad you know.”
“No, but hasn’t Safa already been unified? The Shinjuo faction has united as one… Of course, there is Nokrim, but now Nokrim is half affiliated with the Cheonwoo League and has almost completely withdrawn from banditry, so it is difficult to call it a faction….” After hearing that, Hong Dae-gwang headed toward Jo Geol
. He gave me a look and shook his head.
“That is half right and half wrong.”
“yes?”
“It is true that Xinjuopae represents Sapa. However, it cannot be said that Hsinchuopae is everything about Sapa. “Aren’t there many sects in the world?”
“That’s right.”
Galhomun Gate, which Jo Geol organized, was one of the four schools.
“Now, the Sapae-Ryun has declared that it will bring all the SPA under its control.”
“yes? “All of Sapa?”
Only then did Jo Geol understand what Safileiltong meant and was greatly embarrassed.
“Is that okay? No matter what…”
“It’s difficult. “That’s Sapa’s habit in the first place.”
“Habits?”
When Jo Geol asked what he meant by that, Hong Dae-gwang clicked his tongue.
“Think about it. They are Sapa. Sapa! These are people who absolutely hate regulations and rules. Would such people bow their heads before others? Why do you think your faction is being pushed aside by political factions?”
“…Because I’m weak in martial arts?”
“You’re wrong.”
“sure?”
“It’s because we can’t create a big force.”
Baekcheon asked back as if he didn’t understand.
“But isn’t the Shinjuo faction a huge faction comparable to the old faction?”
“That’s right. That’s the limit. Sapa couldn’t get any bigger than that. “When the power was expanded further, if the leader’s control did not reach every corner, there would always be internal strife and divisions.”
“Ah….”
“The Gupa Ilbang and the Odaesae are all sects that have been around for hundreds of years. However, even if the Sa Sect is a large sect, it cannot survive for less than a hundred years. Because over time, it collapses on its own.”
Hong Dae-gwang’s face distorted.
“So think about it. “It is normal for the four factions to be divided even within themselves, so does it make sense to truly submit to a stronger faction?”
Hyeonjong was deep in thought, let out a sigh and opened his mouth.
“Hong Buntaju.”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”
“But as far as I know, the four sects also give in to the strong sects?”
“If you look at the inside story, it’s a little different. “There are sects who line up near the volcano, right?”
“….”
“…Nothing?”
“Uh… uh…”
At that time, Cheongmyeong spoke as if poking his side.
“Oh, we’re in Xi’an now.”
“That’s right! There it is! there is!”
“….”
Hong Dae-gwang felt like he had said something he couldn’t say, so he continued to speak hesitantly, avoiding Hyeonjong’s gaze.
“Yes… that uh…. Anyway, just because there is a sect in line, the upper sect cannot give instructions to the lower sect one by one. “Isn’t that something that cannot be done even to secular families based on the concept of political factions?”
“yes.”
“The reason for lining up is simply to gain advantage. The same goes for Sapa. However, what Sapaeryun is saying now is not to bring the lower-ranking sects into line. The idea is to subjugate them and make them their slaves. The goal is to bring together the many Sapas in the world under the name of Sapae Association. Say it again…”
Hong Dae-gwang said, biting his lip.
“Only Sapae-ryeon will remain in the world. “Sapae-ryeon soon becomes Sapae-ryeon, and Sapae-ryeon soon becomes Sapa.”
“What is that?”
Hyeonjong’s face turned slightly pale. Only now do I understand how tremendous this declaration of unity of the Apostles is.
“Is that possible?”
“Of course it is impossible. If it were possible, there would have been countless people who have attempted such a thing by now. But…”
When Hong Dae-kwang hesitated to speak, Cheongmyeong took over instead.
“It is possible now. That impossible thing.”
“Yes?”
“With the emergence of the Sa-Pae-ryeon, the powerful factions were no longer able to keep each other in check, and the political factions who would step in at the right time and take advantage of the situation were also unable to approach Gangnam.”
“Umm… that’s….”
“Just.”
Cheongmyeong twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed.
“I thought you would be busy organizing the interior… Would you like to come out to the station? The area where the knife was cut probably hasn’t healed yet. Jang Il-so, you bastard…”
In Cheongmyeong’s eyes, the current Jang Il-so is no different from an overeaten pig. No matter how great he is, there is no way he could swallow Su Luo Chae and the Black Demon Treasure Hao Moon whole and still not suffer.
So, I thought it would be a hassle to sort it out for a while, but it went against Cheongmyeong’s expectations.
“What do you think will happen?”
“Mmm.”
Lim So-byeong, receiving Cheong-myeong’s gaze, scratches his chin.
“Actually… this is an extreme number, but it is also a reasonable number. “When there is conflict internally, it is fundamental to create enemies externally.”
“Yes.”
“If internal reorganization continues like this, there will eventually be a power struggle among the Sapae-ryeon, but if they turn their blades outwards, whether they are strong or weak, they will not be able to bite each other in the meantime. “Maybe that’s what Jang Il-so is aiming for.”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes sink.
“I guess that’s not all.”
“yes?”
“Unity of Apostles. “This war is none other than a war carried out in the name of SPA.”
“…Isn’t that obvious?”
“In other words, those who are subjugated are also subjugated in the name of Sapaeryeon.”
“ah!”
Lim So-byeong flinched as if he had missed it.
“okay. “That’s it…”
Hyunjong, unable to follow their conversation, asked with a stern expression.
“Cheongmyeong. “What does that mean?”
“When the Xinjuo faction subjugates the four sects in each other’s territory, the subjugated four sects come under the control of each sect. However, if you subjugate them in the name of Sapae-ryeon, they will follow the orders of Sapae-ryeon. So….”
“…Are you saying that it will become the power of Jang Il-so, the master of the Sakae League? “Everyone coming under your command from now on?”
“That’s accurate.”
Cheongmyeong smiled, showing his teeth.
“A crazy person is doing the exact same thing.”
There are stages in everything in this world. The reason you need to take that step is because the side effects that occur if you ignore it are significant.
We have just achieved the form of a union, but are we enriching ourselves while abandoning internal maintenance? And leading the other factions of the Shinjuo faction that cannot be considered to have completely surrendered to him yet?
This is no different from a blatant provocation directed at the other leaders of the Shinjuo faction.
Baekcheon asks with a stern face.
“Of course there will be a backlash, right?”
“You must have the confidence to press the button. “If it succeeds, the benefits are certain.”
No matter how great the sect belonging to the Shinjuo Sect is, if it attracts all the other sects, its power will not be taken lightly. No, at least their number would be more than enough to overwhelm the Shinjuo faction.
If that happens, even the Black Dragon King, Heavenly Face Master, and Mangeum Daebu will not dare to approach Jang Il-so.
“What if I fail?”
“I’m going to die.”
Cheongmyeong giggled and laughed.
“You will die the most gruesome death without leaving a single piece of flesh behind. “He probably knows.”
All small and medium-sized factions that protest are trampled and subjugated. In the meantime, he must keep in check the other leaders of the Shinjuo faction who may try to stab him in the back at any moment.
This is an incredibly dangerous tightrope walk.
However, now that the lingering effects of war have not yet subsided, Jang Il-so has declared that he will walk that tightrope.
“What do you think? What do you think the odds of success are?”
Cheongmyeong frowns at Baekcheon’s question.
“…Sah Hal. No, it’s a three-discount price… maybe it’s a two-discount price.”
“Do this?”
At that level, it is more like gambling than an area of winning.
“Even though it’s a market place?”
Baekcheon unconsciously made a remark that exalted Jang Ilso, but there was no need to correct his words.
“I’m giving you this penalty because it’s going to be a long day. “If it were any other Sapa guy, he would have already had his head cut off and become dog food.”
On the contrary, Cheongmyeong evaluated Jang Il-so more highly.
“Then…”
Baekcheon swallowed dry saliva and opened his mouth. I was debating whether I should ask this until the moment I opened my mouth, but I just couldn’t bear it.
“…If Jang Il-so succeeds despite the slim odds. So, what happens if we come to unification?”
“What if I succeed?”
“Okay, if you succeed.”
Cheongmyeong twisted the corner of his mouth with a dark face.
“On the outside, it may look like the Sapae-ryeon has unified Sado, but in reality, it will be like the Maninbang has swallowed up the Sapa. In other words….”
“….”
“An unprecedented apostle sect that has never appeared before will be born.”
Goosebumps ran down Baekcheon’s back.
“And Jang Il-so will become the only person to lead the greatest faction of the Four Faction factions of all time. “This has never happened before in the history of Gangho.”
A dead silence fell in the hall.
It was such a huge statement that I had no idea how to react.
Cheongmyeong’s low laughter rang out through the silence.
People look at Cheongmyeong with blank faces.
“A crazy person just does crazy things. “If you’re not going to get everything, it doesn’t matter if you get torn to pieces, right?”
Just for this moment, Jang Il-so would have endured it again and again.
That Jangil cow has now started to move.
If so, it will never stop until it devours the entire world or burns it down. Even if he swallows too much and his stomach bursts and dies, even if he himself burns to death in the fire he started himself!
Because that’s the way people like Jang Il-so live.
Meanwhile, Baekcheon’s face, looking at Cheongmyeong, was infinitely stiff.
Everyone was weighed down by the weight of Jang Il-so’s actions, but only Cheongmyeong seemed happy.
Maybe it’s just an illusion, but…
“I’m curious too.”
At that time, Cheongmyeong said with a bizarre smile.
“Is Jang Il-so really a vessel capable of keeping the entire Sapa under his command, or is he just an idiot who will explode and vomit after eating something he can’t even swallow?”
Cheongmyeong’s gaze turned towards the door. To be exact, it was headed to some place beyond.
Until now, the world seemed to be waiting for Cheongmyeong to make a move. But now the world has started to come upon Cheongmyeong.
‘This is how it’s fun.’
Cheongmyeong clenched his fists.
“But… no matter what, the result is the same. “I will prove to you that the mistakes you made are irreversible.”
He fixed his gaze towards the south and smiled, showing his teeth.
And maybe.
Someone far away, out of sight, might be looking at us and smiling right now.
