Episode 148. All eyes of the
Murim Alliance inspection team were focused on Han Ibi.
Everyone’s expressions were a mixture of surprise and suspicion.
Apart from Han Ibi’s gaping mouth, I could see that their minds were busy.
I am ruminating on the story of Tak Buyong.
Numerous rumors were heard during the training of the Murim Alliance…
They created a mess wherever they went…
The destruction of the family…
Woo-hwan stormed into the sect….
And even his original nickname, ‘Jong-ni Murae’!
It felt strange to call it just a series of coincidences.
At that time, Han Ibi shouted.
“That’s ridiculous!”
Tak Buyong said.
“Of course it could be so. All possibilities must be kept open. “You can’t be suspicious until the whole story is revealed.”
Han Ibi said with a frown.
“Why are you doing this if you know?”
“Shouldn’t we be careful again? Anyway, the actions of those demonic cultists are beyond imagination.”
Then he shouted loudly to the soldiers.
“I, Tak Buyong, a member of the independent faction, tell you this. Zhong Li-mei of the Qingcheng Sect was arrested by the Wulin Alliance. However, until his charges are revealed, he must be an ally of our Murim Alliance. So please be careful not to jump to conclusions and persecute him.”
Han Ibi was literally on the verge of bursting into flames.
Isn’t that terrible person named Tak Buyong not even giving him the right time to rebel?
At that time, Vice Leader Tang Qingzheng raised one arm and said.
“Now, serve the guests.”
Then, with a ‘whoosh’ sound, five people appeared from the surrounding cover.
Because it happened so suddenly, all the soldiers seemed surprised.
They were all wearing purple military uniforms, and had a dark yellow picture of a soaring eagle embroidered on their chests.
The ‘Murimmaeng Inspectorate’, nicknamed the so-called Gangho’s Grim Reaper.
The affiliations and identities of those dispatched to various parts of Murim were completely hidden to carry out their missions.
Therefore, a purple cloth, the same color as their clothes, was covered under their eyes.
Among them, the man standing in front spoke to Han Ibi.
“Be arrested.”
Han Ibi said while raising her eyebrows.
“what? “Did you get permission from the government office?”
Then the man spoke in a tone full of laughter.
“Officials do not get involved in the affairs of Mulim at all.”
“Then it’s unauthorized.”
“what?”
“It’s unlicensed. “Who did you get permission to arrest now?”
Then the man said as if he was annoyed.
“This is the order of the Murim Lord. “If you refuse…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the four people standing behind him surrounded Han Ibi.
“…We have no choice but to take him by force.”
Han Ibi shook her head for a moment.
Will you run away?
Are we going to bring out the Great Law of Hongmong and give it a try?
Or will he just be caught obediently?…
‘Hmm… The moment the Hongmong Great Technique is unleashed, the Demonic Cult spy will be the winner… Moreover, once time runs out and his strength runs out, it’s only a matter of time before he gets caught. However, just running away will also significantly reduce your chances of success.’
Ebi Han said.
“great. It’s all a coincidence, but let’s say the other suspicions are. But is there any evidence that I have learned magic?”
The members of the inspection team looked at each other at the unexpected remark.
At that time, Tak Bu-yong spoke to his vice-lord.
“Vice leader. Although Zhong Li-mei is accused of a crime, he is believed to have a right to know. “Do you mind if I tell you?”
Then the vice-lord nodded and said.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Tak Bu-yong nodded once and spoke to Han Yi-bi.
“Zhongli Little Colony.”
Han Yi-bi raised her eyes and looked at Zhuo Bu-yong.
“Of course, there will be ample opportunity for explanation. However… An anonymous member of the Murim League, Dongdo, testified that he had already witnessed the magic attack of the Zhongli Xiaohyeop.”
At that moment, Han Ibi felt dizzy.
At the same time, there was someone who suddenly came to mind.
‘Amipa Baek Mi-hoo… That woman ended up doing something…’
Han Ibi was extremely saddened that she had woken up Baek Mi-hoo, who had fainted at that time.
But on the outside, he pretended like nothing had happened.
“Anonymous… anonymous. I don’t believe in anonymous testimony. “If I’m honest, I should reveal my identity.”
Tak Buyong said with a smile.
“Of course, we will find out when the charges are confirmed. That way it’s fair. However, until then, I will not reveal my identity to protect witnesses. So now, please get arrested.”
With those words as a signal, the members of the inspection team began to approach Han Ibi.
The shape of the string sparkling in the sunlight was unusual.
It was clear that it was a special trap that often appears in martial arts.
Han Yi-bi said while glaring at Zhuo Bu-yong.
“Long text. After all, people don’t change easily.”
However, Takbuyong was still a leisure project.
“This is the first time we’ve met, except for a brief meeting last night. I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”
A man from the inspection team roughly turned Han Ibi’s arm away.
Han Ibi shook her arms in annoyance, but did not protest too much.
I just said this to Tak Buyong.
“The beautiful jade tablets are made up of a pair. “Are you sure that there is only one person in the world who knows the secret?”
Then Tak Buyong’s expression, which had never changed until now, suddenly hardened.
Ebi Han added.
“Murim lord… Hmm. great. It’s not enough that you just ruined the lives of three people, and now you’re trying to destroy the entire Gangho. “Aren’t your dreams disturbing?”
When Han Ibi spoke, the soldiers looked at each other and tilted their heads, not knowing what he meant.
Tak Buyong, who seemed embarrassed for a moment, changed to a calm expression again, clapped his hands and said, ‘Clap.’
“As expected, it’s amazing. amazing. Looking at my wife’s face, I wanted to help Zhongli Xiaohyup until the end… but I just can’t pass this up. “You’re trying to cause harm by spreading groundless rumors…”
Han Ibi said, snorting.
“I’m just telling you the truth?”
Tak Buyong spoke loudly.
“As expected, the devil’s tricks are beyond imagination!”
“Jang Moon-in is truly beyond imagination. “No matter what you imagine, you will see more.”
At that time, the vice-lord spoke.
“Long text. “I will stop arresting you now.”
Tak Buyong said.
“All right.”
At the same time, members of the inspection team pulled Han Ibi.
He shouted loudly as he trotted after them.
“Don’t be too surprised if I die unexpectedly within a few days! “It is impossible for the leader of the Shaman faction to have done that.”
* * *
At the front, a young disciple of the Shaman sect was leading the way.
Contrary to expectations, he and the members of the Murim Alliance inspection team were actually going deeper into Mt. Wudang.
Han Ibi said with a smile.
“Why are you arresting me? But are you really planning to join forces with the shamans and go to a deserted place to kill them?”
Then, the man who was walking ahead alone, probably because he had the highest position, spat and said.
“I hate bastards like you the most. “It’s especially annoying just looking at the renegade Demonic Cult sects.”
Han Ibi said with a straight face.
“No, didn’t you hear Tak’s long story earlier? “You should not carelessly suspect the suspect.”
“Crazy guy. “Is there a criminal who wants to arrest me?”
“Uh huh… This guy is very prejudiced. Bye.”
“okay. “Talk loudly while you can.”
“So are you saying they will kill you or not?”
“Tsk. Don’t talk nonsense. “Do you think the Murim Alliance is a barbarian group like your demonic cult?”
The reason why Han Ibi was chatting like that was actually to check the strength of the rope that bound her.
However, I was not sure whether the binding rope could be easily broken with a spirit material made of Cheonjamsa.
Han Ibi thought.
‘There aren’t many opportunities, so let’s use Hongmongdaebeop only at critical moments.’
It was around the time when I walked further.
A disciple of the shaman sect who was walking silently in front spoke politely.
“This is the place.”
Han Ibi and the inspection team members looked at that place at the same time.
A strange landscape with two huge rocks leaning against each other at an angle.
Surprisingly, in the space between them, there was an iron door that was difficult to even guess how it was put in place.
Ebi Han said.
“and! You’re really talented. “How did they put that in?”
The inspection team man said.
“Please open.”
“yes.”
The shaman’s disciple took out a bundle of keys from his belt and with familiar skill opened the iron door in the slanted rock.
Sigh.
Finally, the iron door opened with an unpleasant noise.
A disciple of the Shaman sect entered there first.
Then, the inspection team members also went inside, taking Han Ibi with them.
“oh! “It’s a cave!”
Han Ibi’s voice rang out loud.
The poor-quality, blurry night light barely illuminated the interior.
The man from the inspection team spoke to the non-partisan disciple.
“Hmm… Is this a prison for shamans?”
The shaman disciple said.
“Well, it’s similar. In fact, it is a place where disciples of shamans who have committed sins practice face wall.”
At that time, Han Ibi said.
“Oh no, ignore it. “How could the head wall training center be blocked off with iron bars like this?”
The shaman disciple said in tears.
“An iron gate was installed after an unfortunate accident about 50 years ago. “Don’t talk nonsense without knowing the situation!”
Han Ibi spoke in a tone of disinterest.
“yes. yes. “Is there any possibility?”
At that time, the man from the inspection team asked.
“Is the prison empty?”
The shaman disciple seemed to hesitate for a moment, then slightly raised one eyebrow and spoke.
“That’s right. “It’s empty.”
The inspection team man said.
“As the shaman’s long story said, it’s perfect for locking him up overnight.”
Ebi Han said.
“ah! “I am deeply touched that you have treated me with such hospitality.”
Still, I thought to myself.
‘Oh oh! Headwall training center. This is a cliché that appears extremely often in martial arts novels! ‘Perhaps it is possible to salvage a worn-out martial law left by a fable-like shaman sect’s predecessor!’
Han Ibi forgot about the current situation and looked around with excitement.
At that time, a disciple of the shaman sect spoke.
“I don’t think I need to go any further.”
The man on the inspection team nodded in agreement and then said to Han Ibi.
“Don’t think about useless things. “It won’t look good.”
“If I’m not here, do I have anywhere else to go?”
“joy. “I’ll see if I can still talk nonsense like that even when I go to the Murimmaeng Prison.”
He took a step closer and spoke almost in a whisper.
“I will miss this place for the rest of my life.”
Han Yi Fe frowned exaggeratedly and said.
“Oh my! “Be scared!”
At that time, the members of the inspection team roughly removed the hand that was holding Han Ibi.
The head of the inspection team said.
“Ugh. See you tomorrow. “It’s dark so you’ll sleep well.”
“yes. “I see.”
At that time, Han Ibi shouted at the members of the inspection team and the young disciple of the Shaman faction who turned around.
“for a moment!”
When the members of the inspection team turned around, Han Ibi said.
“Should I release this and go?”
However, the inspection team members easily ignored them…
Then Han Ibi shouted irritably.
“what is this! How can I eat if my arms are tied like this? “How can I get to the back yard again?”
The inspection team members leisurely walk away.
Han Ibi shouted.
“Anyway, please be good at locking the door outside.”
After the inspection team members disappeared, there was a deep silence.
Silence like death.
The only sound I could hear was the trickling of underground water.
Han Ibi muttered.
“ruler! “Although my arms are a bit uncomfortable, let’s get started now!”
Han Ibi began to diligently examine the wall of the shaman’s training center.
“Hmm. I guess there’s something there…”
At that time, a very familiar sound pierced my ears.
Tiriring.
