8.
Because some party members asked questions like, “If I run for two days without resting, can I rest in a better place?”, Gu Jeong-ryong was actually worried that Jin So-un might hear about it.
In any case, as soon as Seunghodang realized that he was being provided with excessive rest and food, he sped up even more.
They replaced the horses with new ones every time, and whenever we left the inn, they filled the horse with plenty of dried meat and water to eat on horseback, so I was able to maintain my speed even with only brief breaks in between.
I had never been on any business trip this fast yet so comfortable.
Because from the very beginning, when they joined the Murim Alliance branch, they were prepared to handle everything themselves, from start to finish.
In that respect, the procession led by Jin So-un is moving more comfortably than any other procession.
Just because you have the full support of the Wang family doesn’t mean it’s easy.
The procession led by Jin So-un moves as if it knows every road in the world inside and out; it runs faster than usual where it needs to be fast, and even takes rest where it needs to slow down.
Moreover, Jin So-un changed the positions of the runners every time, ensuring that no one felt excessively tired.
This is a measure to prevent the fatigue that a person might feel from traveling a long distance by talking.
Gu Jeong-ryong could not easily believe, even after seeing it with his own eyes, that Jin So-un, who was merely in his twenties, was operating at this level. ‘No, to begin with, this is not something a first-year student at the academy should be doing.’ Not only unit operations, but even logistics utilizing his connections.
There isn’t a single ordinary aspect to it.
He looks like a seasoned gang leader, or perhaps a battlefield commander who has weathered every storm.
At this point, curiosity arose.
I wonder what the reason is for someone this outstanding to mobilize all their abilities and head to Sichuan.
There is one thing I would like to ask.
Jin So-un turns around at Gu Jeong-ryong’s question.
You didn’t actually tell me why we have to go so fast, though.
“…….”
“Do we have to go this fast just to stop the event?”
The royal family’s favor?
No matter how close they are, if he has caused this much damage, Jin So-un must have something to give back to the Wang family.
Maeng Ju-won’s order?
This is also the same; it is a matter that moved the head of the Mantong Department. No matter how powerful Meng Zhuyuan is, if the Council of Elders raises an issue in the future, even Jin Xiaoyun will be torn to shreds by that massive storm.
Considering all those factors, the only thing you are pushing ahead with is going to Sacheon to disrupt the Elders’ Council event…
That doesn’t make sense.
On earth is the real reason… … .
“……
It would be good if we could block it.
Gu Jeong-ryong is left breathless at Jin So-un’s words.
Are you really going to stop the event?
Jin So-un’s expression contorts subtly.
In reality, it is a bit more complicated.
I will listen, no matter how complicated it is.
Jin So-un, who had been frowning, looks somewhere ahead.
However, at that moment, a flash of light bursts from his two eyes.
What should I call this?
It’s not exactly living, but something a bit more sticky?
“It’s the kind of atmosphere that would be perfectly suited if the surroundings were dark and exuded by something legless… … ‘Grudge?’ On top of that, he was grinding his teeth; anyone watching would have thought he wasn’t chasing the Elders of the Martial Arts Alliance, but rather the man going after the enemy who killed his parents.”
I mean the unidentified group that the Elder Council went to look for.
Although the actual purpose of the event is to investigate Sacheon, Gu Jeong-ryong is well aware that it is actually an excursion.
I received information that they are a more dangerous group than I thought.
“information?”
Yes, that is why I am going to stop them.
I still don’t understand.
No matter how dangerous a group it may be, aren’t there students from the academy and elders of the Alliance with us? Is there really any reason to go to such lengths?
“According to the information, they say that beings who use dangerous sorcery.”
“Sorcery?”
I’ve never heard anything like that.
If we do not arrive on time, there will be significant damage.
“Wait, wait, wait. I heard about the incident that happened in Sacheon during the regular exams, too. But this is the first time I’ve heard about sorcery. Where did you get that information?”
This is Haomun.
“Haomun? Did you buy it there?”
No. I was passed on to me. I have some connection with that side.
Haomun is a group that competes with the Beggar’s Sect for information across the world.
Considering that the credibility of the Beggar Sect had recently dropped slightly while that of the Hao Sect had risen rapidly, it was not a story entirely without credibility. Although he had heard the word ‘sorcery,’ Gu Jeong-ryong’s doubts were actually fixed elsewhere.
“You have a personal relationship with Haomun? Not a money transaction?”
Jin So-un answered as if it were no big deal.
“yes.”
What kind of sect is Haomun?
“When it comes to money, they are just as ruthless as loan sharks, so to think they received information from such a place without paying. ‘What on earth is this guy’s true identity?’ Gu Jeong-ryong’s curiosity about Jin So-un grew even stronger.” “Just don’t act like an idiot!” If one were to point out one of the Murim Alliance’s chronic problems, it would be their arrogance.
To put it nicely, you could say that I am overflowing with confidence.
True to their nature of having had no rivals for five hundred years, carelessness is ingrained in their bodies like a habit, anytime and anywhere.
If you think about how severe the damage was in the past life, it was because the manpower was scattered in all directions as if investing in a dispersed manner, which is why the Shisan Blood Sect was able to easily defeat them one by one.
I thought that since they hadn’t been able to recruit members of the Baekdohoe and the Twelve Peaks compared to their previous life, they wouldn’t do such a foolish thing.
I couldn’t help but let out a long sigh upon seeing the message delivered through Haomun.
– The academy students enter Chengdu, Sichuan. Divided into five groups, they begin moving.
As expected, those guys did not disappoint me and were carrying out the mistakes of their past lives exactly as they were.
“Senior Brother, are you alright?”
In response to Eunho’s question, I handed him the letter and said.
It seems like it’s already too late.
Eunho also hardens his face, as if realizing the seriousness of Jeonseo’s situation.
“Where are Jaehwa and Seolran?”
“They said they couldn’t figure out where both the Chengdu branch and Haomen were.”
I tried to figure out where at least Moyong Jaehwa and Eun Seol-ran were, but this rootless organization, which had only solid roots, did not even leave records of how it divided its personnel.
It is obvious that they just gathered in small groups with their close friends as they pleased.
And they probably filled the vacant spots with students forcibly conscripted from the academy.
This is total trash.
I agree.
Even a group of ronin would not act so baselessly.
Moreover, why is the speed so fast?
Eunho scratched out the most frustrating part.
These gentlemen, who can’t predict a thing about their opponent, are brimming with confidence, so they move without hesitation.
It is similar to a past life.
Those who, even in their previous lives, had advanced straight to Padang via Mt. Emei, turned into corpses one after another.
Is there no possibility that those mortal culprits might appear late?
I, too, would have no other wish if that were the case.
The incident that took place during the regular time was originally for the sake of the current incident.
A hunter who sets a trap and waits does not delay when the prey approaches. ‘Please, stay in the back group…’ The only thing I can do is hope that at least Eun Seol-ran and Mo Yong-jae-hwa are in the back group.
“No matter how fast we ran, there was a high probability we wouldn’t be able to catch up to the speed at which the lead group reached Padang. ‘Please! Don’t be a fool and run ahead!’ I whipped the whip down again and again, filling it with a desperate wish.” #“They say Mount Emei is the most famous scenic spot in the world. Haha.”
At Myeonghyeon’s hollow words, the young man attending him handed him tea brought from the Emei Sect and said.
“Among the Eight Scenic Views of Emei, it is said that one must visit the three places of Seongjeongmangyeong, Nabongcheongun, and Ssanggyocheongeum. How about taking this opportunity to broaden the horizons of the academy students, Elder?”
Master Myeonghyeon frowned at his disciple’s words.
Did we come here just to play?
“We have come to expose those who dared to ignore the Murim Alliance’s stern warning and disrupt the official session.”
The disciple quickly bowed his head.
“I apologize. Your disciple failed to understand the profound meaning and spoke rashly.”
As the disciple spoke as if he were about to throw away his life at any moment, Master Hye-seong spoke mercifully.
“Although the matter is urgent, given that the journey to Sacheon was not easy, wouldn’t it be better to broaden the children’s horizons after the work is finished? Is it not also the duty of our ancestors to show them the vastness of the world?”
Master Myeonghyeon nodded at Ambassador Hyeseong’s words.
Actually, the matter in Sacheon was not that urgent.
If it were that urgent, they would have finished the investigation immediately after the regular exam, even if it meant turning Sacheon upside down.
The reason things have become urgent now is that the situation has changed.
Suspicion that Yuwolmun, formerly the secular martial arts sect of Jeomchangpa, committed crimes in Honam by impersonating the Demonic Cult.
On top of that, the fact that even Jeomchang’s disciple had joined in made Jeomchang anxious.
At a time like this, wouldn’t the best topic to divert people’s attention be Tangma Myeolsa?
Considering that successive emperors launched northward advances and conquests whenever their regimes were shaken, there is no method as guaranteed to succeed as this.
“Above all, the extermination of demons is the top priority given to our Murim Alliance. Do not forget today’s teachings.”
At Master Myeonghyeon’s words, the disciples bow their heads at once.
Master Myeonghyeon was quite pleased to see this.
Ambassador Hye-seong, watching the scene from the side, smiled. ‘It must be hell.’ There must have been a reason why Myeong-hyeon had intensified his investigation into Sacheon.
His dark intentions are clearly visible.
Nevertheless, the reason I played along with his tune was that no matter how hard he struggled, he would eventually lose the position of guild leader, so I set the stage for him.
The day is not far off when the position of sect leader will return to Shaolin once again.
Due to public opinion that the Wudang and Shaolin sects were monopolizing the leadership position, the position was temporarily entrusted to someone, but the entire Jeongdohoe was shaken to its core.
Now it is time for the original owner to reclaim it and restore the spirit of the Jianghu.
One slightly regrettable aspect is that the situation in Akyang calmed down quite quickly.
The Black Dao factions, including the Mukhyeolbang and Heukbugung who had been concealing their power, turned Akyang upside down and severed the roots of Jeomchang, and Shaolin was about to enter, but for some reason, the guys who seemed ready to wage a full-scale war suddenly stopped in their tracks.
I was so curious about the inside story that I had an investigation done.
Have you looked into Akyang?
Next to him, Il-gak answered.
“Yes. Both the leader and deputy leader of the Mukhyeolbang have died, causing the sect to fall apart. Thanks to this, it seems the situation in Akyang has subsided somewhat.”
“Mukhyeolbang?”
“How do you mean?”
Ilgak parted his lips.
This is because it was difficult for him to judge whether it was right to talk about this or not.
“Hurry up and tell me what you’re doing?”
At Hye-seong’s sharp rebuke, he slowly continued speaking.
It is said that Representative Jin So-un, who stood at Yujangmun, single-handedly raided Mukhyeolbang and killed the leader.
“her?”
“After that, it is said that Yu Jang-mun and Mukhyeolbang engaged in a ‘Duel of Martial Arts,’ and Representative Jin So-un even beheaded the deputy leader of Mukhyeolbang. As a result of this, Mukhyeolbang ceased its warfare, and subsequently, no one among the other Black Dao sects waged war any further.”
“What!”
Hyeseong opened his eyes wide.
“That bastard Jin So-un…? No, let’s assume that is the case, but how did even the other sects stop the war?”
“I… couldn’t find out the details about that.”
Since the size of the scripture is fixed, there is bound to be a limit to the information that can be conveyed.
Even so, it makes no sense to say that the situation in Akyang was quelled merely by the collapse of Mukhyeolbang.
Hyeseong immediately got a feeling.
It is clear that that fellow is involved.
That there is something related to Jin So-woon in the backstory he is unaware of.
And I got goosebumps all over my body.
Raid the leader of the Mukhyeolbang or take on the deputy leader?
Even the elite disciples of this mountain are fully capable of doing this.
However, it is impossible to control the chaos with just that one move.
“You’re a scary guy.”
“yes?”
To say that one controls chaos means to know chaos well.
This means that it could cause confusion.
“I said he was an unusual kid.”
Clearly, regarding the situation in Akyang, the Five Evils among the Eight Evils
He also participated in the war.
Even Hye-seong himself is not confident that he can end the war between the two sides in such a situation.
But to think a guy who just entered the academy managed to pull that off.
“Demon
I see.
At Hye-seong’s words, Gak’s face stiffened.
Who he is
Because I knew it was called Ra.
“Gak-ah.”
“Yes, Venerable Monk.”
“If I become the head of the association this time, I will appoint you to the position of academic hall representative.”
Therefore, you must surely that demon
You must break it off so that it never grows again. Do you understand?
Even though Il-gak heard Ambassador Hye-seong say that he would return the position he had so desperately wanted, his heart felt heavy for some reason.
And when asked such a difficult question to answer, he blurted out what he always said.
“Amitabha Buddha…….”
At the same time.
Moyong Jaehwa, having climbed to Geumjeongbong Peak on Mt. Emei, gasped for breath as if he were about to die.
“Gasp, gasp, ble-damn it…….”
It was Moyong Jaehwa who moved nearly three times as much as others because he constantly served as the vanguard, simply because he was carrying a bow instead of a sword.
“Is Young Master Murong alright?”
Eun Seol-ran, looking at Mo Yong-jae-hwa with pity, reached out and emitted a cold aura.
“You said there’s nothing on that damn Mt. Emei, so why did you go out of your way to come up here?”
Moyong Jaehwa, who had already identified Mount Emei and moved forward first.
However, I had just climbed Mt. Ami back up at the signal to return.
Eun Seol-ran, who had been hesitating at Mo Yong-jae-hwa’s question, answered cautiously.
“Well… since we’re the leading group, shouldn’t we absorb some of the energy…?”
Moyong Jaehwa couldn’t believe his ears. He must have heard something wrong…
“I just heard it, too. That if I went after absorbing the energy of Mt. Emei, things would go well…”
You told the person who went down the mountain first to come back up just because of that?
Moyong Jaehwa felt the urge to unleash a Thunderclap Arrow at the peak where the elders and their disciples were standing right then and there. ‘If only I had finished it, I would have fired it. Seriously!’
