Episode 406 I am not god.
The former Gwangmyeongwu Temple blood cult leader was still being chased by the old man. When you think you’ve gotten rid of it, it follows you, and when you think you’ve ostracized it, it suddenly appears.
It was so absurd that I even thought of him as an old man who had only trained light techniques and chases professionally for decades.
The head of the blood religion thought that he would be among the top five in the world in terms of light performance, but strangely enough, the old man was faster. However, the reason he was not caught was because the old man had a tendency not to cause harm to those around him.
So, it was white.
However, there were limits to taking hostages or hiding in downtown areas. Because the old man wasn’t the only one chasing him. If you hid in a busy area, black swords would attack you, and if you hid in a dirty place, beggars would appear and attack you.
So in general, there was nowhere to hide.
Moreover, the old man seemed to be the most patient among them all, waiting without saying a word before continuing to appear. So hostage-taking didn’t work, and hiding quietly somewhere was of no use in the end.
After walking away from the volcano for a long time.
Even as we headed back to the volcano, the chase with the old man was not over. That doesn’t mean we didn’t fight. We fought several times, but the expected result was defeat.
If the level difference had been so stark, the blood cult leader would have died, but that wasn’t the case. Every time I felt like I was going to be defeated, I ran away.
Absurdly, his internal strength is a little lower than that of an old man.
The old man’s swordsmanship was also beyond the famous level and was absurdly strong.
The problem was that the blood cult leader had returned his sword, so he was at a much disadvantage. So, overall, he was outgunned and lacked weapons, so he wasn’t an opponent he could beat.
On the way, he also met a prisoner, but since he was not a Gwangmyeong Usa now, he could not give orders.
The Lord of Blood had given up trying to shake it off and was heading back to the volcano, that is, the manor where Lord Hao Wen and others were.
I had a strange thought.
This is because I thought that the only person in the world who could mediate this fight was Hao Wen-ju.
There wasn’t much to hope for.
It’s like I want to get a sword and fight again.
I did it because it was an opponent I couldn’t beat without a good long sword. I also saw Ilmajo’s army, which seemed to be defeated and retreating, but they passed by each other as if they were strangers.
Only then did the blood cult leader realize his situation.
Although he is the leader of a blood cult, he still has no loyal followers. Although he was from a demonic cult, he is no longer a cultist. He was in a situation where he had to endure the appearance of beggars, including an old man from the white island, and even a lion attacking him when he died.
A complete loner with no friends, colleagues, superiors, or subordinates, and only enemies on every side.
At this time, as soon as the blood cult leader noticed something on the horizon, he raced towards it, raising dust. It was a carriage where you could tell where it was going just by looking at its direction.
‘I found it.’
When I thought about it, there was one more person who could mediate this fight.
An old man’s voice was heard from behind.
“…Are you trying to harm others again? Hostage-taking may have worked for Hao Wen-ju, but it doesn’t work for me. “You must have checked?”
The blood cult leader ran and shouted.
“gaffer. No more hostage taking. If we follow you further, you will find out the date of your ancestral rites. “I warned you.”
The blood cult leader increased his speed and raced towards something he saw on the horizon. I couldn’t see him for a while, but as I ran faster, I was able to gradually catch up.
What the blood cult leader was chasing was a black carriage.
The speed of the carriage was unrealistically fast, but the blood cult leader was even faster than that.
The blood cult leader eventually caught up with the black carriage and ran alongside it for a while.
After running side by side for a while, the awning on the window was lifted, and a man with a dull expression looked at the blood cult leader. The man was silent, so in the end, the blood cult leader spoke first.
“…It’s been a while.”
Ma Qiaoju said with an emotionless expression.
“You live a busy life.”
“I discovered something pretty cool, would you like to hear it?”
“Say it.”
“I am confident that I know quite a few martial arts, but I cannot understand the martial arts of the old man who is chasing me now. Of course, he is from Baekdo. There is a high possibility that it is Murim blind. “It’s different from what I saw a long time ago, but I think he’s a total soldier.”
“however.”
“Think about it. The sect leader always assumed that Lim Sobaek inherited Shingeom’s martial arts skills, but have you verified for yourself? No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I’ll run away like this if I get Lim So-baek. What does that mean? If I were to run away like this, I would have to be a cult leader or an evil beggar. And it seems like he’s the only disciple of the Divine Sword that we haven’t been able to figure out in the end. “What do you think, leader?”
The religious leader said.
“Stop.”
The carriage, which was running furiously, soon stopped.
The head of the blood religion sat cross-legged next to the stopped carriage and looked at the old man who had been following him.
Gongsunshen narrowed her eyebrows and looked at the man getting off the black carriage. The facial expression of the blood cult leader who was about to attack the blood cult leader when he suddenly sat cross-legged was strange, and the atmosphere of the man getting off the carriage was also strange, so I had no choice but to just stop.
“….”
Ma Jiaoju got off the carriage, looked at Gongsunshen, and asked.
“Are you a disciple of the Divine Sword?”
Only then did Gongsunshen realize who the man was. I nodded and then answered.
“He never called me his disciple, but I always thought of him as my master.”
The blood cult leader joined in, laughing.
“Hey old man. “I warned you that if you followed me, I would check your memorial service date.”
The blood cult leader spoke to the man who was once his master.
“You can deal with the Demon Cultist alone. It’s okay if we deal with it together. “Do what’s convenient for you.”
Master Ma ignored these words and then spoke to Gongsunshen.
“I expected it to be Lim Sobaek the whole time, so why have you been hiding all this time?”
Gongsongsim answered.
“It is true that Maengju Lim is also a disciple. Is that all? I am a disciple and others are also disciples. “All of the members were disciples of the Divine Sword.”
The demon cult leader nodded slightly and looked at the blood cult leader.
“Why are you so busy chasing this guy?”
Gongsunshen glared at the Blood Cult Leader and the Demon Cult Leader alternately.
“This is the guy who took women and children hostage in Tongcheonbang. If you learn the wrong martial arts, there is a very high chance that you will fall into martial arts later. It is difficult to imagine how many people will be injured by then. “Are you going to disturb the religious leader?”
Master Ma answered.
“The leader of the previous generation was killed by your master. “You should have come to see me at least once.”
Gongsunshim answered with a puzzled expression.
“For what reason am I coming to see you?”
Ma Gyoju said.
“Wouldn’t that have been better than me showing up to the Murim Alliance?”
He sighed with a look of bewilderment and then spoke.
“It’s absurd. “Anyway, even if you plan to protect me, I will have to kill the blood cult leader.”
The blood cult leader laughed.
“Is it possible?”
Gongsunshen nodded.
“You’re already old. If you fail, you die. Don’t disturb the religious leader. “If I have any remaining energy after killing the blood cult leader, I will challenge you as well.”
At Gongsongshen’s words, Ma Jiaoju smiled softly.
“There is no need for that.”
“….”
Master Ma said to Gongsunshen.
“Let’s go to the volcano. Get in.”
The blood cult leader looked at the demon cult leader with a very surprised expression.
“what?”
Ma Qiaoju seemed to believe that Gongsun Shen would naturally accompany him, so he got on the carriage first and said.
“…It looks like they were trying to stop the blood cult leader from joining the volcano, but I will take them back to the volcano anyway. In that case, you too will have no choice but to follow me. It’s the same no matter which way you go, so get in the carriage. “The leader of the blood cult should come running.”
The blood cult leader shouted.
“what? “I should ride!”
The Demon Cultist completely ignored the Blood Cultist’s words and spoke to Gongsunshen.
“If you have any questions, please ask.”
I couldn’t help but be polite. Master Ma was not a man who would send him off kindly, and running away would not do him any good. As he said, if Gongsun Shim goes to Hwasan with the blood sect leader, Gongsunshim’s own efforts are fruitless.
Gongsunshen had no choice but to get on the carriage and look very closely at the rumored third person and the leader of the Demonic Cult.
The coachman’s voice was heard.
“Master, let’s go.”
As soon as the carriage departed, the leader of the Blood Cult chased after me, swearing something. As the situation progressed strangely, Gong Sunshen became even more puzzled. It was a situation where the blood cult leader thought he could avoid it like this. However, the blood cult leader ended up chasing the carriage.
Master Ma said to Gongsunshen.
“You must have a lot to say.”
Only then did Gongsunshen come to his senses and spoke to Ma Jyoju.
“Something is a little strange, leader.”
“what.”
“I was actually the leader of the Murim Alliance.”
“Know. Politeness.”
“I knew it. “I’ve played my own game of baduk countless times at my desk, but lately Baekdo has always won.”
“In the past?”
“It used to be total destruction. To be honest, the school was superior.”
“Why did that change?”
Gongsunshen rolled back the awning on the rickety carriage and looked at the blood sect leader who was following him. The head of the Blood Cult glared at me with his eyes wide open, so I put the road awning back in place.
Gongsongsim’s words continued.
“Of course, that’s what happened after Hao Wenju intervened in Jianghu. It’s strange. “Haomun is very weak as a group, but the crazy Wenju started wandering around in all directions, and before we knew it, it was like that.”
“however.”
“There are two people I just can’t get my head around. Munju and Gyojuyo. According to my table-head Baduk, the power of the religious leaders is now being pushed back a lot by the coalition. The spirit of the Black Islands that were hostile to the Murim Alliance has subsided significantly. Lord Jecheon actually developed a friendship with him. From what I heard, they even saved an open ark once. Is that it? Even the students who always tried to keep the world dominated by one powerful organization by creating a rift between the Demon and Baekdo, developed a certain level of friendship with Munju. This means that even if the Church does its best, it will not be easy to take down the Baekdo or the Murim Alliance. “There is a high possibility that even the powers that be on the sidelines will side with Munju.”
Ma Gyoju rested his chin and nodded once. I understood, so please tell me more, so I continued to speak politely.
“…As things turn out like this, it’s even more difficult for me to understand these two people. Even if you just stay still, it’s difficult to come to Madoucheonha, but Munju is in a situation where he has challenged you. You accepted it again and are going to the volcano. How am I supposed to understand this?”
The religious leader said.
“What is so difficult to understand?”
“Listen. Even though Munju is a man who has become stronger faster than ever before in the history of the Gangho, I don’t think he will beat you, the leader. It’s a reckless challenge. This is the first one that is hard to understand. The second is you. If you go to the volcano like this, you too will be in a dangerous situation. Although you may be superior in terms of personal strength, you can benefit from the combined efforts of other experts. That’s why I don’t understand the actions of these two people at all. One person challenges a fight with a high probability of losing, and even after the other wins, he or she is put in an environment where he or she may not be able to return alive… Aren’t we heading towards a volcano like this?”
The cult leader nodded.
“You look at it calmly from a third party perspective. You may think it’s strange, but in the end it will all be strange to outsiders. Some experts have already been sent to Huashan. They also sent a man named Ilmazo who was in hiding. They also sent a new speaker who revealed the money. Did a fair fight take place as you Baekdo claimed? Or would dirty fights have broken out, just like the hypocrisy you often see? Look at it and decide. I also don’t know about the Hapgong that you point out. Even if a dozen people, including Cheonak, were to attack me as a group….”
“….”
The leader looked at Gongsongsim.
“How many of you are alive?”
“hmm.”
“If I drag most of the masters, both white and black, to hell. Even then, in the battle between Baekdo and Doctrine, will one side be able to prevail? does not exist. “As long as I’m there, we’ve never lost power.”
Gongsunshen felt intimidated, but still wanted to win with words, so she said this.
“Still, Lin Xiaobaek remains.”
I made a move as if I was playing desk-headed baduk, and the head of the school accepted it.
“I also left the Archduke behind, and the two of us have already been together once. The Archduke says it’s a draw, but he’s a guy with a lot of pride, so he doesn’t believe it. “But he’s younger than Lim Sobaek, so he’ll catch up quickly.”
Gongsunshim pondered the sect leader’s words and swallowed her saliva without realizing it.
For some reason, it seemed like the cult leader would pay the exact same price if the magic masters died in a mean manner or in a life-or-death situation at the plum funeral in Hwasan. To lighten the mood, I implicitly asked what the religious leader thought.
“What do you think of Moonju, who dares to challenge the leader so recklessly? “In recent times, no man has challenged the leader of the cult like this.”
“General, how would I know? I am not god. However, Moonju is stronger than you think. “Perhaps the time you met and the time I saw it are a bit different.”
“exactly? “It was a while ago, though.”
The religious leader pointed his finger while listening to the sound of the blood religious leader following like a messenger from outside.
“Even compared to that guy, he’s not a weak guy.”
Gongsunshen’s eyes, who had been chasing the blood cult leader until now, widened.
“what?”
As far as Gongsunsim knew, it was because he saw him as weaker than himself and even weaker than the blood sect leader. Surprisingly, the blood cult leader who had been following the whole conversation and had overheard it, joined in the conversation.
“…He is not weaker than me. “He is a very pathetic person.”
This time, Gongsunshen asked the blood cult leader outside.
“Why are you such a bastard?”
Unexpected words flowed from the mouth of the blood cult leader.
“I taught him a martial art, and while I was trying to learn it, a spirit demon came. “I don’t think he taught me falsely… but if he’s that stupid, I think he taught me correctly on purpose.”
Gongsunshen didn’t really understand what the Blood Cultist was saying, so he looked at the Ma Cultist. So, if you interpret the words, it means that while Hao Wenju was trying to learn proper martial arts by teaching him, Simma came to the blood cult lord.
It made no sense.
Ma Jiao then twirled his temples with his fingers. Gongsunshen cleared his throat because he thought he was telling him not to deal with him because he was crazy.
“Hmm….”
