[Episode 94: He’s Back (4)]
Wulin League headquarters building in Wuhan, Hubei Province.
Someone hurriedly entered the Vice Lord’s office located on the 4th floor without knocking on the door.
“Grandfather!”
He was Jinyong, the grandson of Yeolwangpaedo Jingyun.
In the office, someone was already talking alone with Jingyun, the vice leader.
Jinyong, who discovered him, frowned and spoke nervously.
“Lee Jeong-gyeom, why are you here?”
“long time no see.”
A young man waving his hands as if he was annoyed.
He was none other than Lee Jeong-gyeom.
“It’s been so long!”
“Be careful what you say. As of today, Lee Jeong-gyeom of the Infinite Swords Association has returned to the head of the Blue Dragon Party.”
Jin Yong’s words were interrupted by Jin Gyun.
Jinyong complained to his grandfather, Jingyun, that he was embarrassed by this.
“no. Grandfather. “Wasn’t Lee Jeong-gyeom expelled from the main alliance along with the former leader?”
It was as he said.
Baek Hyang-muk, the Infinite First Sword, is a former martial arts leader who was kicked out on charges of learning the Blood Cult leader’s martial art, Hyeolcheon Daeragong.
His disciple Lee Jeong-gyeom was also expelled from the Murim League.
But he had returned to the Murim League.
Seeing Jinyong trying to argue further, Jingyun raised his hand to stop him.
“Grandfather!”
“Where is this place, my grandfather?”
Jinyong swallowed his saliva as Jingyun’s voice became heavier and carefully changed his words.
“…Vice leader.”
Looking at him like that, Lee Jeong-gyeom chuckled.
‘That guy!’
Jinyong was filled with anger, but he was more afraid of his grandfather Jingyun’s anger and could barely suppress it.
Jingyun asked him.
“Meng Hao Danzhu. “What made you ignore the procedures and enter the office on your own?”
Jinyong said that he missed this question.
“Vice leader, did you hear? It is said that the Blood Demon appeared at the Shaolin Temple, defeated the Hundred Eight Arhats, and took Wolak Sword with him!”
“Know.”
“Then isn’t it time to be like this? “I decided that Iljon, one of the two superhumans of the Blood Cult, was dead and the Blood Demon was injured, so the Lord of Jeongcheon led the entire clan’s forces to subdue the Blood Cult, right?”
“so?”
“So? We must withdraw them and defend ourselves immediately. “This is a scheme by the blood religion.”
At Jinyong’s words, Jingyun, the vice-lord and grandfather, looked strangely satisfied.
I thought I was so caught up in my emotions that I couldn’t tell the difference between the front and the back, but I was surprised to see that he was able to read the charter to some extent.
“But the vice-lord must have heard this news before me, so why didn’t he summon the soldiers and instead treat this woman… no, the head of the Blue Dragon clan alone?”
“The military is not from here anyway. I thought you knew it well? Haam.”
Lee Jeong-gyeom stretched out and said.
Jinyong, who was irritated by the guy’s behavior, fired back.
“Return is return, but you keep getting involved in something…”
“Stop!”
The fungus cut it off.
Gyun Gyun got up from his seat, put his back on his back, and approached the Joongwon evangelism paper attached to the wall of his office.
He then pointed out the branches of each martial arts league with his hand and spoke.
“Nearby branches were notified of this situation and instructions were given to gather at the headquarters.”
“You’ve already sent instructions.”
“However, the military force led by Maeng Zhou, who is already moving south, and the Yunnan, Guizhou, Honam, Jiangxi, and Fujian Province branches are in conflict with the blood religion, so this information is not being sent.”
“yes? why?”
Jinyong couldn’t understand this.
Even the injury of the Blood Demon has become unreliable information, and if the Blood Cult’s main headquarters is empty, it will be like being stabbed in the back.
There was no reason to divide the force into two.
Lee Jeong-gyeom said with a grin.
“There is a reason for everything.”
“what?”
“This is an opportunity to determine whose leadership will suit the direction of the current martial arts federation: Lord Jeongcheon, who ignores the majority opinion at the elders’ meeting and enforces subjugation with authority, and Vice Lord, who carefully watches and responds to this situation. .”
“How can you do that?”
“Because Master Sima and the Vice Lord informed me.”
“…….”
I know that my grandfather, Jingyun, kept looking for opportunities.
However, he said he was light and never gave out important information.
However, my heart felt cold for some reason when I thought that I had told various things to Lee Jeong-gyeom, whom I regarded as my enemy.
‘……Did my grandfather join hands with the former leader?’
Jin-gyun’s behavior changed after he became independent with former leader Baek Hyang-mook.
Instead of being the grandfather he knew, he was becoming a snobbish asshole, as if he had been in politics for a long time.
Jinyong, who had nothing more to say, became somewhat discouraged and spoke.
“All right. Then I will go away…”
“No. It’s a good thing. “At this time, we are planning to reorganize and change the position of the head of the party.”
“yes?”
* * *
The heads and deputy heads of all parties remaining within the castle were summoned.
Accordingly, Namgung Ga-hee, the head of the Phoenix Party, and So Yeong-yeong, the head of the Phoenix Party, who had just returned from their mission, were also heading to the venue.
“You really don’t give me any time to rest. spirit medium.”
“Yes. “If you keep pampering me like these days, I’ll want to take a vacation.”
“Anyway, why are you calling all the parties? Could it be that the remaining strength of the main faction will also be conscripted to suppress the blood religion?”
“That’s…”
“Well, that won’t happen, right?”
So Yeong-young smiled bitterly at those words of Nangung Ga-hee.
Even so, I was embarrassed after hearing that the Hyeongsan faction, a group of recluses, was also participating in the suppression of blood religion.
The leader of the blood religion was her older brother, So Unhwi.
If the blood religion led by my brother and my own asceticism clash, I don’t know whose side I should take.
I knew something like this would happen one day, but it was too fast.
‘Brother… are you okay?’
I don’t know where my damn brother has disappeared to make things like this.
A few months ago, a person named Cho Seong-won, the new ark of Opening, came to me and asked me about my brother’s whereabouts.
Because of that, she began to suspect that something was wrong with her brother.
As my brother’s whereabouts as a swordsman became unknown, that gradually turned into certainty.
In the meantime, I was so worried when I heard that the leader of the blood cult had been seriously injured by a blood demon that I wanted to secretly visit him, but Seong-won Cho informed me that he was not a real blood demon.
They said it would be the vice principal.
So Yeong-yeong questioned him about what happened to her brother.
They even threatened to reveal his identity if necessary.
Seongwon Cho informed this.
My brother has been gone for over seven months.
‘…….tooth.’
They were family, and I miss them so much now that they have disappeared again.
He was an older brother who was more precious than my damn biological father or my stepfather whose face I didn’t even know.
As I was walking along the main road to the convention center, I ran into someone at a fork in the road.
“Head of the Moyong family?”
One of Nangong Gahee’s eyebrows rose.
There was a woman with a rather fierce appearance, wearing a white and yellow suit.
She was Mo Yong-hye, the head of Maehyangdang, another all-female party that competed with Bonghwangdang.
She was also the younger sister of Mo Yong-su, the head of Hwangryongdang.
Mo Yong-hye also came over with a gloomy look on her face as if she had spotted them.
“It looks like the mission is over.”
“yes. “I was nervous for no reason because I had failed at Maehyangdang, but it wasn’t a very difficult mission.”
Mo Yong-hye’s expression turned cold at Namgoong Ga-hee’s sly words.
Since these two parties clash so often, this kind of war of nerves did not last just a day or two.
Mo Yong-hye, who was trembling with her lips as if she was upset about getting hit once, changed her goal.
He turned his head towards Su Yingying and said.
“Bonghuang Bubuju. That’s too bad.”
“yes?”
“Do you know why we are calling all parties now?”
“They said they would use this opportunity to reorganize the party efficiently and select a leader to lead the young martial arts people.”
“What’s disappointing about that?”
I knew this story because it had been mentioned many times.
I knew that this could happen after the new leader and vice-lord were elected.
Mo Yong-hye smiled brightly and said.
“If Sogeomseon, Budangju’s older brother, is safe, he could at least become the head of the clan instead of the deputy leader who flew away, but that won’t happen.”
“you!”
At those words, So Youngyoung could not hold back her anger for a moment.
Even so, strange rumors were spread because her brother, who had been recommended for the position of vice-lord, never showed up.
So Yeong-yeong was convinced that the epicenter of the rumor was Maehyangdang.
“Hold on to the psychic!”
Namgoong Gahee dissuaded her.
If there is a fight between the heads of the clan or the vice-lords within the clan, the one who acted first will be disciplined.
Mo Yong-hye knew that, so she deliberately guided him.
‘Unlucky.’
She and her older brother, Mo Yong-su, who clung to power, were both from the same tribe.
So Yeong-yeong, who came to his senses after Namgoong Ga-hee’s dissuasion, finally calmed down his anger.
“You don’t even have guts.”
Behind Namgoong Gahee, who was drying her off, Mo Yonghye deliberately added medicine.
So Yingying quietly pointed at her with his index finger and pretended to slit her throat with his thumb.
‘!?’
It was So Yeong-yeong who could never live with what happened.
This time, Mo Yong-hye’s face turned red due to So Young-young’s hand movements.
“Where can I find something so small?”
“Who could say that a fox-like bitch with raised eye tails is so skinny!”
“fox? “You bastard!”
Just then, someone appeared and urged them.
“What kind of disgrace is this for the leaders of the later generations, who cannot even join forces in this situation where blood demons have appeared in the Shaolin Temple?”
He was the Plum Blossom Baekgeom Hoyang Jinin of the Hwasan Sect.
As the second elder of the Murim League, he was in charge of managing the leaders of the party.
Mo Yong-hye, including Namgoong Ga-hee, were embarrassed by his appearance and showed their courtesy.
“See you Elder.”
However, there was only one person who did not show courtesy.
She was none other than So Yeong-yeong.
Hoyang Jinin looked at her with a puzzled look as she did not show courtesy.
Then Su Yingying urgently asked.
“What did you just say? “Elder.”
“What are you saying? It is said that a blood demon appeared at Shaolin Temple.”
“Is that true?”
Neither she nor Nangong Jiahi, who had just returned to duty, heard this news.
Mo Yonghye did not miss this opportunity and said with a sneer.
“It is said that a blood demon appeared at the Shaolin Temple, overthrew the Hundred and Eight Arhats, and took away the Yueak Sword, one of the five great evildoers. The Phoenix Party was so insensitive that they did not even know about it… What is it? “Are you smiling now?”
Mo Yong-hye was dumbfounded.
It was meant to be a compliment, but So Yeong-yeong’s face turned red and she was smiling.
“Young Hawk?”
It was a situation where everyone could not help but wonder.
As if he didn’t mind this, So Youngyoung couldn’t hide his excitement.
‘Damn brother. If you’re alive, shouldn’t you have told me first that you’re alive!’
* * *
Contrary to the order given to cut off information, the whole world of openness rushed in with the full power of the martial arts federation led by leader Mu Sang-do Jeong Cheon.
“Oh my… So does this mean it’s a diversionary policy?”
The head of the Hebei Paeng family, Paeng Sa-yong, the sixth elder of the Wulin League who was the first to confirm this, could not hide his embarrassment.
They had already left Hyeongsan and crossed Hyeongyang.
If we rushed, it was possible to join the forces of the five branches encamped on the border of Guangxi Province within four days.
This was a matter to be decided through a hasty meeting.
If the rise of the blood cult leader is false and this is a diversion, the headquarters of the Wulin Federation is in danger.
“It’s a big deal. Lord!”
Elder Paeng Sa-yong, who hurried into the main barracks, asked in puzzlement.
“Where is your leader?”
“Why do you do that? “Elder Pang.”
Baek Wi-hyang, the third soldier of the Murim League, was sitting at the head table where the leader should have been.
Now that I think about it, while heading south from Hyeongsan, Maengju Mu-sang and Jeong-cheon were nowhere to be seen.
“The lord must also know.”
“If it is an urgent matter, please let me know first.”
In the end, Elder Paeng Sa-yong informed him of the situation in Jeonseo-gu.
At this, military officer Baek Yu-hyang muttered as if he could not understand.
“That can’t be possible, right?”
“How could that be? This is an issue so urgent that we need to discuss military withdrawal. “Please tell me quickly where the leader is.”
“The leader is not here.”
“You’re not here? “What on earth do you mean?”
Elder Paeng Sa-Yong thought this was absurd.
What does it mean that the leader of this large martial arts army is away?
To him who was perplexed, Baek Wi-hyang pointed to the Joongwon Jeonjeon on the table in the barracks.
Paeng Yong-sa, who saw this, frowned and said.
“no? The entire force of the five branches has now entered Guangxi Province? “Nothing about this has been discussed in advance….”
“Of course it hasn’t been discussed. It’s because we don’t want it to be known to the headquarters or the outside world.”
“What is that?”
In response to his question, military officer Baek Wi-hyang pointed to the area near Muui-hyeon and said,
“The leader has already joined forces from five branches that have moved south to Muui County.”
Elder Paeng Sa-Yong’s eyes widened.
If this were true, it was something that even the blood religion could not have expected.
“If it succeeds, it will be a huge blow, but the military… What are you going to do if the vital power of the blood demons and blood religion is not in Lingsan?”
“That can’t be possible.”
“Why are you so sure?”
Military officer Bai Yuxiang looked at the frustrated elder Peng Wujin and said with a meaningful smile.
“The blood demon is definitely dying from the sword.”
