The residence of the head of the Cheonjihoe located at the headquarters of the Cheonjihoe.
“Cluck cluck…..”
At the sound of coughing coming from beyond his feet Vice President Mong Seocheon stuck out his tongue.
My cough was getting worse and I felt like I wanted to call a doctor.
However Hoeju seemed strangely unwilling to receive treatment.
Rather than seeking treatment he continued to obsess over Baehwagyo’s Holy Fire Command Spell and I couldn’t figure out why he was like that.
Will he really be able to improve her condition by bringing her back?
‘I have to recover somehow.’
Huaiju did not even have any children and he only had three disciples.
He would have had a reason to solidify the succession structure if he had children but before he knew it the faction had split into three and the war of nerves was growing.
especially
‘The Archduke’s actions are unusual.’
Grand Duke Na Yu-liang had been moving without hesitation ever since he came out of the closed building.
He is visiting the sects that are maintaining a neutral position and subjugating them all and it looks like he will soon clash with the second Jang Neung-ak and the youngest the So-yeon Union.
No they could already be fighting somewhere out of sight.
Well up to this point it was somewhat understandable.
‘Anyway a successor has to be decided.’
Otherwise the infighting will continue to prolong and it will be detrimental to the association in the future.
but
“Hoeju… There is talk of contact with Archduke Nayuliang at the Presbyterian Exhibition. Even if it were the case with other sects they…”
“Cluck cluck. I guess the time is ripe after all.”
“yes?”
What do you mean the time is ripe?
As I was wondering Hoeju’s voice continued beyond my feet.
“It probably means that I won’t go through this office anymore.”
“No does that make sense? Anyway how can retired elders get involved in the affairs of the congregation?”
“Leave it alone. After all they only move at His command.”
“Hoeju… Could it be him?”
“Who could it be?”
Vice-lord Mong Seo-cheon frowned at the leader’s question.
I think I know who the person Hoeju is talking about is.
But hasn’t he been dead for a long time?
But how about the Presbyterian Exhibition….
“Besides are they there yet?”
At that time Hoeju asked.
“If it were them…”
“If you escaped the opening safely you should be getting closer to the main gate by now.”
‘iced coffee!’
Only then did Vice Lord Mong Seocheon understand who the Lord Lord was talking about.
“Even so Jeon Seo-gu has arrived from Muyak.”
“How is it going?”
“They succeeded in escaping safely but because they were being pursued in the Imperial Capital they said they would deviate from the original route and come via Guizhou Province to elude them.”
“Guizhou… Are you coming from the west? Cough cluck.”
“I guess so. “Even if not I have something else to report urgently.”
“emergency?”
“Yes because of this the movements of the Justice Alliance are unusual.”
Vice President Mong Seocheon handed over the prepared report to the feet surrounding the bed.
A strange look appeared in Hoeju’s eyes as he accepted this and slowly examined it.
“Seventh Heaven?”
* * *
The owner Koo Woong-hwang who personally guided Mo Gyeong-un’s subordinates to one of the empty rooms of Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge greeted them politely and then came out.
“Then get some rest.”
It was only after he was far away from the guesthouse that an inspector from Yeonggeom Lodge who was assisting him carefully opened his mouth saying he did not understand.
“I… the owner. Was it really necessary to guide you in person? “Why don’t you just leave it to us?”
To his words the owner Koo Woong-hwang answered with a sigh and a smile.
“If it were up to you to do it you would have done it. However no matter what the result since we have come under the Duke of Zhou shouldn’t we check what kind of people are under him?”
“iced coffee. Was that your intention? “I didn’t understand the owner’s intention.”
“Is there any intention? “It’s okay don’t worry.”
“But how was it?”
“What do you mean?”
“The subordinates of the Duke of Heavenly Demon. Belonging…. I was a bit surprised. “Isn’t that apostate monk Jae-jae-jeong a member of the Samgwang (三狂)?”
“okay. “It seemed like that.”
The owner Koo Woong-hwang also couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw the apostate monk’s money.
But what surprised him even more was not the financial investment.
No matter how much I looked I could not guess the inaction of the person wearing the mask with that unique pattern and the person holding the boss.
Because of this he was able to guess that they were experts above him.
‘They are not ordinary people at all.’
They were like that but so were the apostate Monks and the two who looked the youngest.
Both have reached the realm of transcendence.
How is it that all of his subordinates are so different from each other?
These people alone are already capable of wiping out one or two small and medium-sized factions in one night.
It was to the point where I wondered how his name and reputation had not become known even though he had such great people under his wing.
This time it was no exaggeration to say that his father Gu Cheonmu and Yeonggeomsanzang who were members of the Six Heavens were under his control and that his power had actually doubled.
What on earth is my lord trying to do with this incredible power?
I became more and more curious.
* * *
Inside the guesthouse.
When the owner of Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge who had guided them retreated and his presence disappeared Seopchun said as if he was shocked.
“Am I dreaming now?”
In response to his question Meng Wuyak also shook his head with a somewhat blank expression.
He too was equally surprised.
When I first heard that the owner of Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge was Cheonma Jugong I wondered what this was all about.
But everyone couldn’t help but be shocked by what he said.
[We Yeonggeomsan Lodge have sworn to serve Cheonma as our lord.]
‘!!!!!!’
This was the same for Guyangso the head of the Paldoksa (八毒蛇杖) who is living a new life wearing a mask and a human skin mask that does not usually express his emotions.
They too could not help but be surprised by the words of the owner Gu Woong-hwang.
That would have been true if Yeonggeomsanjang had been an ordinary sect but although they were craftsmen they had a great influence on the martial arts of the Jungwon martial arts.
Moreover isn’t their leader Gu Tianmu Jangju a member of the Six Heavens who can be said to be the pinnacle of the current martial arts world?
Such an enormous being swore loyalty to their master Mok Gyeong-un.
In fact I couldn’t believe it when I heard it.
“…It seems like we are serving someone much greater than we expected. “Isn’t that true for everyone?”
“….”
Everyone nodded silently at Nie Chun’s words.
That’s how much this incident caused a huge shock to them.
Even the events that occurred at Shaolin Temple and Sacheondang Family could be said to be amazing but if this incident spreads to Wulin the impact will be tremendous.
A place with great influence on the current martial arts world such as Yeonggeomsanjang came under the lord’s control.
“I think we underestimated our lord.”
At that time Meng Wuyue who was just listening to Nie Chun’s words parted his lips.
“Underestimated?”
“okay.”
“Can you still say something like that after watching so much?”
“…come out. Of course until now I thought the master’s goal was simply to become Huaiju’s fourth disciple.”
“….”
At these words Nie Chun’s eyes also became strange.
This was because he also realized what Meng Wuyak meant when he said this.
The reason he decided to follow Mok Gyeong-un was partly because of his inaction and great courage but also because he thought he was the next Hoeju.
But it happened just as Mengwuyak said.
It was truly an underestimation.
The master’s vessel was not something they could carelessly evaluate.
Who would have imagined that someone from the Six Heavens who was on the same level as Huizhou would be subdued?
The lord was already no longer a vessel that Hoeju could embrace.
He was a great general in and of himself.
At that time Jae-jeong Jeong an apostate monk who was sipping liquor from a gourd intervened.
“Wow. Was that the only reason you guys followed your master until now? Fuhahahaha. “Who becomes whose disciple?”
He was laughing like he was having fun.
At his attitude Seop-chun scratched his head and said feeling somewhat aggrieved.
“You’re saying this because you don’t know. “If you knew how quickly my master has become stronger you wouldn’t even say that.”
Of course he was a monster when he left the show but not to this extent.
Not only did he overcome the walls of the wall to become an expert in the realm of the realm but he even subjugated the six thousand people under his control.
‘Monster…. Yes. This is a real monster.’
Marahyeon who was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed in silence also stuck out her tongue.
When he first met Mok Gyeong-un he had no idea that his capabilities would grow so rapidly.
Even when he left the imperial palace wasn’t even another member of the Six Heavens the Namjin warrior King of Northern Waves Gooseongbaek tired of joining forces with the six heavenly warriors So Yerin and the nine blood religions?
But now it is on par with the peak Yukcheon.
“under.”
Has anyone in the history of martial arts become stronger so quickly?
It would have been understandable if it had happened over the past few years but it was even more unbelievable that it had happened in just a couple of months.
Then Seopchun said.
“But it’s a bit disappointing.”
“What do you mean?”
“Though he used the pseudonym Cheonma (天魔) because of the imperial palace’s pursuit imagine that my lord became famous under his real name.”
“Your real name?”
“okay. If the lord in the name of Mo Gyeong-un overthrew the Shaolin Hundred and Eight Arhats placed the Four Heavenly Dang Houses in exile for as little as 60 years and subjugated the Yeonggeom Mountains then the position of Huaiju can already be considered confirmed based on that reputation alone. “But I don’t know why he doesn’t want to tell this to the society.”
Meng Wuyao snorted at Nie Chun’s words.
“Are you really saying that because you don’t know?”
“what?”
“Whoa…. You really don’t know. Well I just know how to wield it. “You don’t even know how to move your head so there’s no way your thoughts can go that far.”
“…Then would you who are so smart tell me your master’s intentions?”
“Even if you don’t intend to there is no need for you to reveal the fact that you are the Heavenly Demon.”
“There’s no need to reveal it?”
“okay. If your lord reveals this do you think he will only keep the archduke and his second and third princes in check? no. The main army is a new force recruited from outside. Moreover he comes from a political faction.”
“ah….”
“If you are recognized solely for your talent but find out that your talent is beyond your control how do you think you will fare in the competition?”
At these words Nie Chun spoke in a cold voice.
“It could go beyond checks and even prevent him from re-entering the council.”
“I understand now.”
Mokgyun has already reached a level where he can directly compete with Huizhou.
If he tried to enter he would have no choice but to be subject to all checks and at worst he could be ostracized let alone allowed in.
“It’s not that I’m that thoughtless. But it’s interesting that you analyze it so coolly.”
“….”
“Even though you were reluctantly loyal to your lord your identity stems from being the successor to Vice President Mong Seo-cheon the right hand man of Hoeju.”
At Nie Chun’s words Meng Wuyak’s eyes sparkled with interest.
I thought he was just a simple guy but it seems like he was keeping an eye on himself for his lord.
Did he think he could betray at any time?
Of course I can understand.
Even if he were himself he would have been constantly suspicious if he had come under the umbrella in this way.
But not now.
“I did. But it’s different now.”
“Different?”
“…okay. “For now he is someone who wants to see how far his master goes.”
The corners of Seopchun’s mouth rose at his words.
“This is my first time. “It means that our thoughts coincided.”
