Episode 381
Even the survivors of Dongcheon, who had been forcibly united by the palace, joined, and the alliance of as many as five Dongcheons took a step toward Cheonsan.
A long line filled the mountains and streams, and countless footsteps rang loudly.
Everywhere they passed, people cheered and shouted for victory, but Jinmu could not erase the dirty feeling.
A hero who saved the people from trouble that struck the Demonic Cult.
It was a compliment I didn’t want.
Things like that made with the lives of others.
In a heavy heart, Jinmu swung an Ilwhee in an annoyed mind.
Aww!
“Keugh!”
Gal Seong-hyeok, who was walking at the head of the ranks at the sudden blow, grabbed his head and turned his head away.
“what? why?”
“….”
Jinmu was right behind him, his eyebrows curled and his eyes wide open.
“Aren’t you walking fast? Do you think this is going to suck?”
“….”
At last, seeing Jinmu rolling up his arms, Gal Seong-hyeok quietly laid his eyes on him and turned his head and walked.
Seonghyeok Gal, the master of magic.
He who reigned like a god by the side of Bukridocheon… Tied to a rope…
Guiding the damn road.
I’m going to go to the gwando anyway.
Seonghyeok Gal grumbled inwardly, fearing that Jinmu might hear it, and kicked a stone rolling on the ground.
“Get out.”
“…?”
“It is slow. Shouldn’t the leader walk a little faster?”
Shih! Barbababak!
A beating immediately flew at the muttered word.
A man with a strange bone.
The beating that flew in so quickly that Jinmu’s words were now so familiar that he felt chills every time his name was called.
How did it come to be like this? Where did the little goddess who came with me go?
Gal Seong-hyeok was so saddened by the fact that he had to walk as fast as he could while his whole body was aching from being beaten so badly.
Come on, these guys will walk quickly. No, don’t run at all.
I will arrive at Cheonsan as soon as possible and condemn you guys.
If Cheonsan doesn’t help, he will mobilize his own family and kill everyone in the ranks now.
Gal Seong-hyeok flashed blue eyes and sped up his steps.
“Get out.”
“…!”
“fast. I can’t follow you from behind.”
Shiiyi babababak!
…Shit.
It’s really sad.
If everything is gone…
It’s been two days since Gal Seong-hyeok started guiding unnecessary directions due to Jinmu’s coercion.
My feet were all swollen from walking five hundred li while my inner energy was forbidden, and my legs were sore as if they were about to break.
Doo doo doo.
It was just when they crossed Oromokje in the northern part of Odongcheon.
In the distance, I saw a group of horses running, creating a cloud of dust.
no way? of origin?
Gal Seong-hyeok’s hope-filled eyes sparkled with longing.
It’s getting clearer and clearer.
The letters on that flag fluttering above the galloping horse… Oh? Dongcheon Oh?
“Who is the federation lord?”
“….”
Gal Seong-hyeok, who had his hopes trampled on, drooped his shoulders, but Hwang-sin and the children blocked Jin-mu’s way, shining their eyes fiercely.
“What’s going on in Odongcheon?”
“I want to see the Federation Lord.”
When the giant soldier who had answered loudly shouted, Hwangshin turned his head slightly.
“What are you?”
“… Alliance please?”
“How am I?”
At the words of Jinmu, who arrogantly looked down from atop the horse, the large soldier hurriedly got off the horse and knelt down.
“I am Cheon Il Guk, leading Ma Poong County in Odongcheon. I have received a message from Danwu Kang.”
“Danwu River?”
When Jinmu tilted his head at the words of Cheon Il Guk, Neung Seo Hyun quickly replied to help him understand.
“The Twelve East Heavenly Lords. It is said to be the strongest among Dongcheonju.”
“Hmm.”
Come to think of it, I heard it when I first came to Xinjiang.
A master at the 11th rank of the Demonic Sect.
Was it the person who came closest to Cheonsan?
Seeing that the soldier from Odongcheon said that he had come under his orders, it seems that he was already attached there.
“But what does he have to say?”
“Danwu Kang said he would wait for the Lord of the Alliance at the boundary of Dongcheon.”
“Let’s fight at the boundary point?”
“no. He wants to talk.”
“…”
What a funny guy.
Then my guy is going to come himself, so why are you sending a subordinate?
My guy is not some kind of Bukri Docheon.
Anyway, whatever it is, it doesn’t matter.
Passing through the Odongcheon and passing through the Twelvedongcheon, it is Cheonsan.
No matter what they did, if they stood in his way, he would have to destroy them.
“good. Let’s meet.”
“I will guide you.”
“For some reason, we have a guide who is quite useful.”
“Directions…?”
As Cheon Il Guk’s eyes shifted to Jinmu, who gave him a glance, Gal Seong-hyeok twisted his face and turned his head.
What if you find out?
There is no such thing as a dog side.
The iron fingernails that used to spread the tide had been pulled out, saying that Jinmu was unlucky, and the sweat mixed with the powder made his face dirty.
“Old man… is that right? You seem to know the way well.”
thank god. I didn’t recognize it.
“Gal Seong-hyuk.”
“Go… yes?”
“My name is Seonghyuk Gal. my guide. The Demonic Sixth Guy.”
“….”
Damn what else do you need to reveal?
The expression of Cheon Il Guk, who had already carefully examined Gal Seong-hyeok, was beyond absurd and approached surprise.
“Where is the location?”
“It’s a new source.”
“It’s a Shinwon…”
Jinmu laughed when he heard the name of the place where Danwoo River is located.
Isn’t that an exquisite name indeed?
new source new source.
Where everything changes and starts anew.
“Good. Isn’t that a good name for a meeting? depart.”
Jinmu nodded and smiled and looked at Seonghyuk Gal, who struggled with embarrassment.
Fuck!
“Kuk!”
“What are you doing! Can’t you hear me go? Shall I pierce your ears? Let’s go…”
“Go! song!”
As soon as the name of Kakchul was about to be called, Seonghyeok Gal took a quick step and the ranks began to move again.
Cheon Il Guk blankly looked at the back of the leader.
To think that Gal Seong-hyeok, one of the masters of magic, was acting as a guide with such a miserable appearance….
In the meantime, it was clear that he had been beaten because his body was blue all over.
The person who is called the alternate federation master…
Maybe those gathered at Shinwon are thinking the wrong way.
Trying to negotiate with a monster like that who beat Gal Seong-hyeok without hesitation….
* * *
One five eleven twelve.
Shinwon, the place where Dongcheon meets four places.
It was a city that was no different from the eastern corner of the road to Cheonsan.
When the Confederate Union was formed, Danwu Kang sent Yeon Panjang to Nam Dongcheon to gather their will into one place.
And from now on, you have to negotiate with him.
If he accepts their will, he will become an ally, otherwise he will block the road to Cheonsan.
“Will the Heavenly Father be all right?”
“….”
It was Janghwang, the Ten Dong Heavenly Lord, who rules the left side of the Heavenly Mountains, who raised a voice mixed with concern. Not only that one, but the rest of the dongcheonju also didn’t look good.
“Rumor has it that the monster who attacked Lee Dong-cheon is doing great. As a result of research, it is said that the former Dongcheonju 100,000 grains could not last even ten seconds. He’s the one who killed that person…”
“That’s right. Haven’t you all heard? The owners of Dongcheon, the four places that tried to negotiate with him, were unable to kill him despite a pincer attack.”
“On the contrary, he died.”
When the owners of Paldongcheon and Gudongcheon added their words, Danwookang’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Fools.
When we agreed to do it together, they were very happy about it.
But there was no need to pretend that I didn’t like it.
It is said that Danwu Kang has the strongest martial arts among the Twelve Heavenly Lords, but it is only true among the Eastern Heavenly Lords.
If Jinmu is as strong as rumors say, he and his 12,000,000 people cannot stop it.
It will either be dominated or trampled upon.
So, when Jinmu killed four lords of Dongcheon and formed an alliance in the south, Danwoogang hurriedly summoned lords of Dongcheon in the west and united their forces.
In the meantime, there was a bloody death by Lee Dong-cheon, but because Cheon-san was silent, they also watched the development of the situation.
One of them would die anyway, so I thought it wouldn’t be too late to decide then.
The war is back in Confederate hands and now he’s coming.
“Don’t worry.”
“….”
“If he is as strong as the rumors, wouldn’t it be much better for us? We will be able to step on the heavenly mountain together.”
“Yes, but will he accept our deal?”
“I will have no choice but to do it. The power we possess is the power of the Seven East Heavens. Lee Dong-cheon’s power is not much, so all they have is four. And the only Dongcheonju is Neungseohyun and the puppets, aren’t they?”
“…”
“From now on, they will have to deal with Cheonsan, so we cannot ignore our power.”
“It should be so…”
Danwu Kang’s expression gave him a bit of relief, but his concerns remained.
“I will be negotiating with him, so other people just need to keep silent and give me strength.”
“Okay. We will only believe in God.”
“Ah, yes, you should do that. Well, he says he’s crossed the border, so he’ll be there soon. Let’s all stay alert.”
“yes!”
While the lords of Dongcheon were resolving with Danwoogang at the center, vibrations were felt from quite a distance.
“Looks like he’s almost here. Let’s all get dressed and go outside.”
Danwu Kang took the lead, followed by the three Dongcheon Lords, heading out of the hall.
In the distance, a huge column was approaching, winding like a snake through the valley.
slow and slow.
And soon, the leader arrived at the beginning of Shinwon.
Cheon Il Guk, who had gone to greet the union leader, was stopped and stampeding his feet as he tried to approach.
He seemed to have something to say, but he was too far away to see his expression.
However, as I got closer, the appearance I saw was very strange.
An old man who was tied to a rope in front of him and trudged along, then collapsed to his knees when the horse stopped.
Like the few tribes living in the mountains, they were camouflaged with white stripes, and dark blue bruises were all over their faces under the tangled hair.
Are you a prisoner?
However, the clothes the old man was wearing were somehow familiar.
It was torn and soiled here and there, so it looked ugly, but it must have been seen somewhere.
Unlike the other Dongcheonju who looked at the approaching Jinmu, Danwoogang could not take his eyes off the strange-looking old man.
At that time, a handsome man held out a bag of water, and a gloomy old man took the bag as if it were being snatched away, and then burst into water and poured it into his face.
Then the time peeled off little by little and the face began to be revealed little by little.
That face… I’m sure…
“Puha! I’m going to live for a while now.”
The moment the old man turned his head with a bright smile as if he had found a spring in the desert, Danwu Kang’s eyes widened as if they would tear.
Oh no, why is that nobleman?
Are you saying that you are over there dressed like that and tied to a rope?
If he didn’t look at it wrong, he must have been Gal Seong-hyeok…
Why?
“You said you wanted to see me?”
In the meantime, Jinmu, who rode up on a horse, asked while looking down at Danwu River and Dongcheonju.
The lords of Dongchun sent eyes of trust toward Danwu-gang and cheered passionately in their hearts.
Danwu-gang, who was shocked by Gal Seong-hyeok’s appearance, couldn’t come to his senses.
“Ah that… that…”
“What? Didn’t you have something you wanted to say?”
“Ah, that’s…”
Shit, seeing Gal Seong-hyeok like that, I couldn’t stand out confidently.
For some reason, the ominous feeling that the negotiations will not go as planned comes over.
