Episode 176
If you had asked where the center of the political faction was in the past, people would have said the Murim Alliance.
However, in a situation where the power of the nine factions was weakening, the Eight Great Families, another pillar of the group, escaped from the Murim Alliance.
The place they created is Cheondohoe.
For a long time, only the Murimmaeng was called the center of Jeongdo, but after the creation of the Cheondohoe, such words disappeared.
Now many warriors had other questions.
Will the Cheondohoe or the Murimmaeng be stronger?
Six out of ten took the side of the Cheondohoe.
Although it is not revealed now, the Namgung family that created the Sword Emperor is still alive and well, and if the Mo Yong family and the Zhuge family join soon, it is clear that its power will become even more powerful.
The head of the Cheondohoe was none other than Peng Doung of the Hebei Peng family.
The Tao method of the Hebei Paeng family, which uses a huge sword, was truly difficult and powerful, making it one of the most famous seasons in the Central Plains, and this was also because the current head of the Hebei Paeng family, Paeng Doung, had quite a reputation.
One of the Ten Masters, Maengryeokdo (猛方刀) Paeng Doung.
However, those who knew Pang Doung were laughing inside.
An organization with a short history is bound to have many holes.
Pang Doung had to solve it.
Moreover, I had to hear criticism from many people because he left the Murim League and established an organization and split the martial arts group into two.
Moreover, he did not rise to the position of leader through his own ability.
In reality, the person who should have become the head of the family was the head of the Namgung family or the head of the Sacheondang family.
Therefore, although Peng Doung’s decision to become Hoeju was a decision based on the wishes of many people, it was also a decision made willingly by those who wanted to avoid troublesome work.
Right now, Pang Doung was looking somewhat annoyed.
“Where on earth is this man hiding?”
He sighed and held his eyebrows together.
The greatest purpose of the Cheondohoe.
A person who is absolutely necessary to put the fish on a rock.
He was the head of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Un. But he disappeared and there was no sign of him appearing at all.
Even though Zhuge Emperor placed numerous people in the vicinity to watch over me and secretly followed me to see if there was anyone who knew my whereabouts, I was unable to find my person.
How many months has it been already?
It was like looking for a needle in a sandy beach.
“I think it’s more difficult because we can’t use the information power of openness.” Dangjungak, the head of the Sacheondang family, took a sip of tea and opened his mouth. Until now, it was unclear how important the information power of openness was.
However, it is quite inconvenient because you cannot actually use them.
Although I was looking through not only the information of each family but also the information of the merchants and merchants, I could not find Zhuge Un’s existence, as if he had fallen to the ground or soared into the sky.
“It’s nothing to laugh about, ma’am! “We need to bring him back as soon as possible.”
“What should I do now when I can’t see it no matter how much I look for it?”
“……Tsk.”
Pang Doung frowned.
Dangjungak, the head of the Sacheondanga family, was angry at his barking, but the reason he could not make a loud noise was because of the weight of the name Dangjungak.
Although they are the same Ten Zones, their status is different.
Dangjungak even became close friends with Namgung-un, who was called the best late-day leader, from a young age, and because of that, he was still a person with considerable influence among the family heads.
Because of his position as leader, there were times when he obeyed and complied, but when the evil in the party became this strong, even Pang and Ung naturally became discouraged.
“It would be good if Zhuge Yun came to the Heavenly Capital Association… but if not, it would be unavoidable.”
“That’s right. “There’s no need to be thirsty for him, is there?”
“What is needed is someone who uses their brains. If you look for such people, there will be quite a few of them.”
The other household heads nodded to Dang Jung-ak’s words.
Of course, Pang Do-woong also knows that well.
However, Zhuge Un’s experience and knowledge should not be taken lightly.
There is no way these people don’t know that, but everyone is just watching the party’s evil intentions.
Pang Doung sighed and shook his head.
It was a situation where we had to pray that at least one thing would not be taken away by the Murim Alliance.
Of course, he did not know that the Murim Alliance was also experiencing similar concerns.
If you go north from Jangsa along the waterway of Dongjeong Lake, you will find Agyang.
In the middle of it, there was a small mountain that herbalists often visited, but there was one place there that was not often visited by people.
This is because there was a cave nearby where bears lived.
The bear was famous for its ferocity.
Even some hunters tried to exterminate it but failed to even find the body several times, so now even nearby villagers don’t want to go near it.
But strangely, smoke was coming out of there.
It was undoubtedly a cave where a bear famous for its ferocity lived.
Also, it was not an illusion in the end to hear voices having a strangely loud conversation while hearing the bear’s ferocious howl.
“Haa…”
The woman let out a long sigh and turned on the light.
Once it goes out, it is difficult to relight it, so we are trying to keep the fire alive as much as possible. Not even the smell of meat roasting golden brown over the fire could disturb her thoughts.
‘How long…’
The woman glanced to the side.
I saw a middle-aged man lying down and snoring.
The clothes he was wearing were tattered, and because of the cold weather, he was wearing the skins of animals he had hunted here and there.
His beard had not been trimmed for so long that it was so bushy that he looked like a bandit.
‘I’m really going crazy.’
I looked at it and held my throbbing head.
However, it was not a situation where one could say anything after seeing the middle-aged man’s appearance. Because her condition also made no sense.
The high-quality silk was worn and torn and was no better than a rag.
The skin was so damaged that dead skin cells were forming and there were obvious signs of cracking and bleeding here and there.
From a woman’s perspective, this life is truly difficult.
I don’t even know how many months I’ve been like this.
Since she always slept in a nice bed in a nice house, she had never been in a situation as difficult as this.
Why did this happen?
‘This is all because of him…’ The woman let out a long sigh.
The face of the man who made Zhuge Un like this did not disappear from my mind.
Zhuge Un stayed here and did not move so that he could have a relationship with the man at any time.
Of course, I know he has other reasons.
This is probably to prevent the Murim Alliance or the Cheondohoe people from finding him, and that is probably the biggest reason why he continues to live such a secluded life.
But….
‘You can live like that alone! ‘Why me…’
The woman, or rather, Jegal Yeon, secretly blamed her father for making her suffer. The person those people needed was no one else but Zhuge Un.
In that case, all you have to do is disappear alone and live like this.
But why do they not capture and send away their innocent daughter?
‘Don’t you get bored when you’re alone hahaha!’
That ridiculous reason is still stuck in my head and hasn’t gone away. For the first time that day, I wanted to grab my father by the collar.
I tried to pull out the knife but ended up failing.
sincerely!
Byak-!
She broke the tree branch she was holding without realizing it.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I felt.
I looked at my father who was sleeping while holding on to a broken tree branch. Then the snoring stopped and the voice came out.
“do not worry. “This life won’t last very long.”
Zhuge Un, who had been sleeping, stood up.
There was some fear in the way he looked at his daughter.
This is because I felt alive while I was sleeping.
It’s also a killing that pierces my entire body.
Zhuge Yun’s gaze glanced at the broken tree branch.
“Do you know how many times I’ve heard that already?”
“Someone will come here soon. “It really is.”
“Who is that? Who is that?”
“Kukkum…!’’
Zhuge Un turned his head with a clouded gaze.
He saw the Geomwang in the person named Dan Woo-hyeon.
Of course, I knew that I could feel the shadow of the dead Geomwang and that it was not him.
But I felt like I wanted to be by his side and watch.
So, the chosen one stayed nearby and planned to show him his abilities by showing up and helping him when he needed it.
But a lot has happened over the past few months.
But even when I tried to help, they just solved it.
I don’t even have time to use my head.
I heard that people wearing strange masks appeared and solved the problem.
Of course, it was only fragmentary information, but it was enough to know that there were unusual people around Dan Woo-hyeon.
‘One of them is probably the demonic figure we saw last time.’
Just thinking about it made me break into a cold sweat.
The fact that there was another person like that was terrifying enough to make me cringe.
That’s why I wanted to be with Dan Woo-hyeon even more.
‘Maybe if it’s him…’
When he finds the person who killed the Geomwang, wouldn’t he be able to take revenge on him? I even imagined it.
That’s why Zhuge Un couldn’t stop watching Dan Woo-hyeon here.
But on the contrary, Zhuge Yan raised his double wick.
“But you can’t stay here forever, right? What about Sega? “Are you going to pass it all on to someone else?”
“That’s…”
“Now that the Geomwang is gone, have you fallen in love with that person named Woohyeon? “It’s really creepy…”
Zhuge Yan rubbed his arms as if he was truly getting goosebumps.
I remembered the first time my father saw Geomhwang.
I followed him for several years, and I remember Geomhwang showing disapproval because he followed me all the way to Haewooso.
There was no memory so embarrassing in Zhuge Yan’s life.
Even though he was my father, I was scared sometimes.
There were times when I wondered if that personality was directed towards me.
She was hoping that someone would fix that personality.
The moment of taking a long sigh.
Footsteps were heard not far away.
The two people’s heads turned toward the sound. There was no way someone would come to a place like this unless they had intention or certainty.
Even the sound of footsteps heard was not just one.
There seemed to be three or four people, maybe more.
Zhuge Yun looked at them with a stern expression.
The moment when the images of those slowly approaching become clear.
Slurp-!
The sound of a sword being drawn was heard.
“Jegalun… I’m truly sorry that we met like this.”
At the sudden remark, Zhuge Un smiled awkwardly and picked up the sword he had placed on one side.
The opponent’s momentum is sure to kill.
I couldn’t die gracefully.
“This is your grave today.”
