[ To the Heavenly Demon God (1) ]
Namgung family The general was surprised to see Namgung Jeongcheon returning to Sega.
“My lord!”
Namgung Jeongcheon appeared to have injuries all over his body. His black military uniform was torn in several places, and his face was as pale as a sick person.
“My lord! “How is this happening?”
“Don’t make a fuss, just bring Geumchang medicine.”
The general personally applied Geumchang medicine to Namgung Jeongcheon’s body and bandaged it.
When the treatment was roughly finished, Namgung Jeongcheon opened his mouth heavily.
“The ambush failed.”
Although he had expected this to some extent since Nangong Jeongcheon returned like this, the general could not understand how he could fail.
“The master himself went there? Moreover, there were fifty masters…”
“Pacheongeomje. ” This guy was hiding his skills. “He is…much stronger than me.”
“Yes?!”
The commander’s eyes widened.
Who is Changcheon Shingeom Namgung Jeongcheon?
Except for Cheonha Samjeol, which is now almost a legend, he was a master of the highest level, ranked among the top ten in martial arts.
‘But does this mean that the blue baby of the royal family is stronger than the lord?’
This is ridiculous.
But there was evidence before my eyes. His master, Namgung Jeongcheon, returned like a defeated soldier.
“In that case, now…”
Gulp. The commander-in-chief swallowed his saliva and found it difficult to continue his conversation.
Pacheon Geomje knew clearly who the person who had ambushed him was.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be possible for him to storm into the Namgung family soon?
This is the fearsome master who turned the world’s top ten masters into this state and annihilated fifty elite masters.
‘But seeing as they didn’t come after me right away…’
the Commander-in-Chief said with hope.
“Is Pacheongeomje also seriously injured? In that case, mobilize the warriors right now…”
Nangung Jeongcheon shook his head with a dark expression.
“The guy is fine. “He killed all the warriors I took and sent only me alive.”
“yes? “Why…”
Nangong Jeongcheon said through gritted teeth.
“…We decided to negotiate.”
“What if you say it’s a tongue-in-cheek negotiation?”
The Commander-in-Chief asked with an anxious face. Nangong Jeongcheon said, closing his eyes as if in shame.
“We decided to fully support all resources in the reconstruction of Geomhwangmun, transfer some of the business premises of the main family, and dispatch warriors from the main family to Geomhwangmun for 20 years.
“My lord! “That can’t be possible!”
The commander’s face turned red.
From what I heard, it seems that Geomhwangmun is planning to treat the Namgung family like a servant.
Even when Heukdo’s breakwater goes under another breakwater, these absurd conditions are not imposed.
‘How could the Daenamgung family…’
However, Namgung Jeongcheon’s will already seemed firm.
“Pacheon Geomje can destroy the main family if he wants to. He… is truly a monster.”
Nangong Jeongcheon’s eyes were filled with fear. It was conveyed more vividly because it was sincere, not acting.
“Master?”
A question appeared on the Commander-in-Chief’s face when he saw that.
The general served Namgung Jeongcheon by his side longer than anyone else.
Therefore, I knew all about Namgung Jeongcheon’s personality and habits.
‘Are you the kind of person who can be so easily intimidated by someone and give everything to the other person?’
And Namgung Jeongcheon also noticed that the general was suspicious of him.
To be precise, Bi-young, who was wearing Namgung Jeong-cheon’s shell, noticed it.
‘this. If you’re not careful, the Commander-in-Chief will notice.’
Bi-yeong also knew Namgung Jeong-cheon better than anyone else and secretly knew the general.
Therefore, Bi-young was the perfect person to play Namgung Jeong-cheon.
Biyoung immediately gritted her teeth like an angry Namgung Jeongcheon and spoke.
“Of course, now is the only time I bow to him. Now is the time to be patient. “One day, I will kill him with my own hands.”
“Ah… yes. of course.”
The commander-in-chief looked a little relieved at those words. Well then. There was no way the lord, who had even destroyed the Geomwangmun, would be discouraged by a single child.
“We have to endure it for now. “Just like 15 years ago when we cut off the head of Merchant Namgung after a long period of patience, we need time this time too.”
“yes! “My lord!”
Of course, Bi-young had no plans to kill Dae-in.
Although the Commander-in-Chief doesn’t know that.
“Then let’s go out now. “I want to rest.”
“Jonmyeong!”
The Commander-in-Chief left the room. Biyoung waited until his presence completely disappeared and then knelt down against one wall.
“Even though it was an act, please forgive me for insulting my lord.”
Slurp.
A great man appeared from the darkness. He had been listening to their conversation from the beginning.
“Hmm.”
Biyoung trembled at that brief reaction.
Biyoung was afraid of Daein.
The man who trapped and killed the cunning and cruel Namgung Jeongcheon. Moreover, he presents himself as a fake and tries to swallow up the Namgung family entirely.
‘Are you offended my lord? After all, I shouldn’t have cursed…’
In Biyoung’s eyes, it seemed like Daein was not human. Fear fueled my imagination.
‘I might have to give up at least one arm. No, since my arm is visible, I’ll have to cut it in an area that can’t be seen. Then, Gogan….’
While Biyoung was sweating coldly and immersed in a terrifying imagination, Daein was just thinking.
“Do you think the Commander-in-Chief was easily fooled?”
“…yes. “There was no sign of suspicion.”
Biyoung nodded desperately.
As long as the general can be deceived well, there will be no one in the Namgung family who will doubt the identity of Namgung Jeongcheon.
“If a problem arises, we can remove the governor… but if we do that, the problem may become more bothersome.”
At least not now.
“By the way…”
Biyoung hesitated, looking at Daein’s gaze. Daein nodded, asking me to speak.
“My martial arts level is only at its peak. “You can lie now using internal injuries as an excuse, but you can’t lie forever.”
His appearance and voice were easily disguised by a doppelganger mask given by Daein, but Mu-gong could not do that.
The real martial arts skills of Namgung Jeongcheon and Biyeong are literally the difference between heaven and earth.
Biyoung was by no means a weak martial artist, but he was not at the level of being a top ten martial arts expert.
“Especially when a war between political and evil forces takes place and you go to battle… there is a very high chance of getting caught.”
When you reach the top ten martial arts masters, you will have to go to an important battlefield, and if you can’t use your strength then, no matter how similar your face is, it is of no use.
In the end, a martial artist proves himself through martial arts.
“I don’t have to worry about the war between demons and demons.”
Daein spoke to Biyeong indifferently.
“There will be no political war. Even if it does happen, it will end before it becomes a full-scale war.”
“yes? How…”
“You don’t know much about that.”
Biyoung fell flat on the floor at the cold look in her master’s eyes – which is actually a pain to explain.
“sorry! “I’m being presumptuous by asking a question… Please kill me.”
Daein tilted his head at the sight of Biyoung hitting her head on the floor.
‘Did he eat something wrong?’
I feel like I’ve been breaking out in a cold sweat since a while ago, and even though it’s not cold, my body is shaking.
It seems that there were still some side effects from removing loneliness earlier.
‘Well, it will get better as time goes by. In reality, being moderately sore will help with acting.’
Daein thought about it that way and decided to move on. The great man said.
“Namgung Jeongcheon wore a light coin mask during training last night. “They say they can’t use martial arts for a while using that excuse.”
“Jonmyeong!”
“And starting tomorrow…”
Daein gave various instructions to Biyoung about what to do next.
“Oh, and the Demonic Cult’s troops will be dispatched faster than the Murim Alliance expected. “Prepare in advance.”
“yes? How could my lord…”
“There is a way to know everything.”
“I’m sorry! Another useless question….”
“…….”
The more Biyoung listened to the story, the less it felt like Daein was a person.
How can you know about the demonic cult that is a thousand miles away?
‘Could it be that the lord is a monster disguised as a human?’
In this way, Biyoung’s fear and awe grew steadily as time went by.
‘I will never dream of betrayal until I die.’
In this way, the entire Namgung family came into the hands of a great man.
***
The next day.
The Murim Alliance was in an uproar from the morning.
“How dare those demonic cults-!”
Murim lord Ya Yulgi personally visited the guesthouse where Daein and his party were staying. He opened his ring eyes and checked the scene.
As if showing a vicious fight, the rooms were broken in various places, and blood caked on the walls and floor gave off the scent of blood. The bodies were gathered to one side.
“Are you sure it’s the work of demonic bastards?”
Gongson Ilgi, the head of Biryongdang, answered Yayulgi’s question. Deputy owner Cheongwoon was also at the scene.
“The scriptures of the Demonic Cult were found on the corpse. You see, they don’t separate the scriptures from their bodies.”
From the beginning, Namgung Jeongcheon planned to frame this attack as the work of the Heavenly Demon Church, so there was ample evidence that the masked men were the Heavenly Demon Church.
“Where is Pacheon Geomje?”
Daein’s group was being investigated a little away from the guesthouse. As Yayulgi approached, Daein took the gun.
“See you, Lord.”
“I heard there was an attack at dawn. “Are you hurt anywhere?”
The great man showed several light wounds on his forearms. Of course, it was done intentionally.
“Thank goodness we were all awake.”
“There is no way those demonic cultists would have come to the center of the Murim Alliance and attacked in vain. What prevented it was not luck, but your skill. Ah. “They picked the wrong opponent!”
After floating the great man for a while in front of many people, Yayulgi again asked various questions.
“Didn’t they say something?”
“We’ve been attacking you for a long time.”
“Who was captured alive?”
“I was so anxious that I couldn’t pay attention. “Some committed suicide as their injuries worsened.”
“It’s a shame… Who is the victim? “Are you the only ones in the room?”
“After advancing to the Yongbongbimu finals, we rented the entire guesthouse. “Yesterday, we asked the owner’s understanding and had a quiet drink among us.”
“Not a single person has died, so it is truly a miracle of heaven and earth.”
Yayulgi believed everything the great man said without much doubt.
Since the circumstances clearly showed that the winner of Yongbongbimu was attacked by the Demonic Cult, the investigation proceeded with examining the corpses and questioning the surrounding area.
However, on one side, the heads of the five major families were exchanging messages with anxious faces.
[Namgoong matriarch! What happened to this!]
[Didn’t you say you would definitely handle it!]
[I asked why the warriors didn’t return…]
[What are you going to do now!]
The four heads of the family simultaneously poured out a message to Namgung Jeongcheon. Of course, they could not have imagined that the contents of Namgungjeongcheon would have changed.
[Calm down. I will explain everything.]
With a pale face, Biyoung repeated what she had shared with the Commander-in-Chief yesterday and added a little more.
[I told Pacheon Geomje that it was only the warriors of the Namgung family who attacked Geomwangmun. So there will be no need to attack other families.]
Biyeong first reassured the other heads of the five families.
The family heads were shocked to hear that Pacheon Geomje was an expert beyond imagination, but seemed relieved to hear that no harm would come to them.
Biyoung laughed inwardly at their appearance.
‘You idiots. Do you think the lord will leave you alone?’
Biyoung was worried all night without being able to sleep at all.
His master was a man with a deeper and more cunning mind than anyone else in the world.
‘My lord is the one who will unify the martial arts kingdom. He will place both the Murim League and the Demonic League under his feet and command the world.’
This was the conclusion that Biyoung reached after thinking about it all night and developing fear and reverence for people.
In addition, he had a new goal.
‘From today, I will become Namgung Jeongcheon and stand at the forefront of my master’s unification of martial arts.’
Even if I misunderstood, I misunderstood for a long time. It was like drinking kimchi soup without even thinking about the person who would give it rice cake.
Daein was just thinking of setting up a guild branch in Murim.
If Namgung Jeongcheon dies right away, things will get worse, so he hired a double agent.
However, Bi-young thought that all of this was a plan that Dae-in had been preparing for a long time. He quietly clenched his fists and made a promise.
‘First, we must devour the five major families one by one to create a foundation for our lord to unify the martial arts.’
Although Daein did not give any similar orders, Biyeong, like a capable subordinate, decided to act without being told to do so.
A few years later, a huge force with an unidentified background appears in the martial arts world, but
that is a much later story and
“Hey!!”
I saw a human horse running from afar, raising a cloud of dust. Both of them looked like they had been running non-stop for a long time.
“Urgent! “This is an urgent report from Xinjiang!”
Yayulgi stepped forward with a stiff expression on his face.
“Xinjiang? “Is this the work of the Demonic Cult?”
A warrior riding a horse jumped off the horse, spread his wings like he was flying, and prostrated himself in front of Yayulgi.
“Huh, huh…”
As if out of breath, the warrior took a moment to catch his breath. Yayulgi became impatient and urged him on.
“What a rush! “What on earth is going on?”
The warrior presented the letter he brought to Meng Zhou. Maengju broke the seal of the letter, opened it, and read it in one go.
After a while, Yayulgi’s expression became scary.
“The demonic cults are already….”
The others did not understand the situation yet, so they only looked at the leader’s eyes.
But Daein knew what was going on.
‘It looks like things are slowly moving over there too.’
Daein talked to Lily on the phone every night and was receiving information about the Heavenly Demon Church.
[That’s what my grandfather said. He left for the Murim after a week.]
Similar content would have been written in the letter the Murim lord received.
