‘It’s sunny.’
Yeon Woo-jung, the second son-in-law of Hyeonyangmunju Nam Jin-sun, thought as he walked around the manor. Suddenly, I looked at the sky and saw that it was clear without a single cloud. It’s literally Changcheon (蒼天)
– I feel very happy about the scenery where there is nothing to stand in the way of.
‘Everything is going smoothly. It’s so smooth.’
Yeon Woo-jung quietly pursed his lips. A satisfied smile. If things continued like this, it wouldn’t be that difficult to take control of Hyeonyangmun Gate. His one and only son, Yeon-cheong, was born with the most outstanding qualities among the grandchildren of Munju Nam Jin-sun.
Nam Jin-soon favored Yeoncheong to the extent that it was obvious to anyone watching. Unlike her other grandchildren, she often called her aside to talk to her, and she did not hesitate to spend a lot of money when it came to matters related to her children’s affairs. Not only did she purchase the elixir, but she also invited a famous black sand lotus expert to have her bee hair washed. In fact, as soon as Yeon-cheong was born, she was taken care of by Yeon-woo-jung, so the effect of beolmo washing was not that great.
Also, the year Yeoncheong turned ten, a manor with a large training hall was built for him. They say there shouldn’t be any hassle in martial arts training. The manor where Yeon Woo-jung is currently walking was built at that time. In addition, Yeoncheong, who was still young, was given a guard force that he could personally command.
This is a benefit not given to other grandchildren.
And when he was alone with Yeon Woo-jung, Nam Jin-soon revealed his true feelings several times. They say that from now on, it will be Yeonyangcheong that will elevate the name of Hyeonyangmun Gate.
He will probably be officially appointed as Somoonju soon.
Nam Jin-soon’s other sons-in-law had two or three children, but their qualifications were not enough to take on the position of Yeoncheong.
‘Of course.’
Because there is no wise man under a nobleman, Yeon Woo-jung muttered like that. If his true identity were revealed, anyone would think so.
There are not many Yeonga in Moorim. Yeon Woo-jung did not bother to hide his name. Who could imagine? As a son-in-law of Hyeonyangmun, a small and medium-sized sect, a figure from the Heavenly Demon Church, and that too, must have had the bloodline of the sect’s leader.
It was like that.
Although Hyeonyangmunju Nam Jin-sun lied to him that he was just from a Korean-American shaman family, Yeon Woo-jung privately became the nephew of the current Cheonma Shinyo cult leader.
He could be said to be a cousin of Yeon Yeon-hyeok, who was once the head of Sogyo and is now Lord of Makwangcheon. There wasn’t much traffic, though. Nae Yeon-hyeok never treated anyone warmly except his father, the religious leader.
In any case, the most noble bloodline in the Heavenly Demon Church is the Yeonga, so even if half of the blood of Hyeonyangmun’s southern family was mixed, it was expected that Yeoncheong’s martial arts qualifications would far exceed the average.
‘The Sacheon branch will be opening soon.’
Yeon Woo-jung was lost in thought. Interest in this Sacheon branch, hosted by Simhwabang, has greatly increased in many ways. Taeeulmukgeompa, Cheonjinbang, and Mokyeonggung, which were major Sado Bang factions under Heuksabang, fell due to some kind of incident, so there was going to be a fierce fight among the participants over the interests they occupied. And there are rumors going around that the Tang family’s Sogaju, Yeon Yeon-myeong, will also participate.
Perhaps because it is close to Seongdo, here in Hyeonyangchon, you can often hear rumors about Yeon Yeon-myeong.
It turns out that the person who killed the 300 members of the Taeeulmuk Sword Sect and the Tianjinbang was the Sojiazhu of the Tang family.
Someone with a beauty that makes it impossible to take your eyes off someone who has seen them once.
The elders who had controlled the party for over ten years were brought to their knees.
Come to think of it, the massacre that took place near Chengdu not long ago was also said to be the work of Sogaju of the Tang family. It is said that nearly two hundred people were annihilated in just a few breaths using a memorized baptism using a feather needle.
It was quite shocking to even find that Lord Mokyeong Palace’s Jang Tae-cheon was among the dead. This was all the more so since it was known that the Tang family’s Sogaju Yeon Myeong was about 16 years old. Does this mean inaction make sense based on common sense? However, as a section chief, there were too many civilians to witness. I don’t know anything else, but this incident was credible.
And Yeon Woo-jung was convinced that it was because he had seen an even worse monster.
Makwang Cheonju Yeon Yeon-hyeok.
‘…It was astounding.’
Yeon Woo-jung still can’t forget that day. In the year in which the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church becomes an adult, he or she holds a ceremony to reveal his or her divine status in front of the congregation. The Church of the Heavenly Demon is a place where the logic of strong self-respect dominates. Naturally, the leader of the cult, who was at the top, had to be powerful enough to wield omnipotent power.
The successor, Sojyoju, also had to instill confidence in the believers that he would become the pinnacle of the religion in the future.
Usually, the event ends with defeating a high lord-level person, but arrogantly, the ones Nae Yeon-hyeok called were Jwasa and Woosa, who were said to have the strongest martial arts skills next to the sect leader. At the time, Yeon Woo-jung thought that his older cousin, Yeon-yeon Hyeok, had gone crazy. That’s because Jwasa and Usa were warriors known to have reached peace with their religious leaders. Dealing with one another was like dealing with one another, but it could also have felt like a great humiliation from the perspective of the Left Master and the Right One.
However, the left and right temples came forward with a nervous look on their faces, as if they had expected it. He moved cautiously, as if he were dealing with a master, and the results that were soon revealed were shocking. Even though they joined forces, Jwasa and Usa were greatly pushed back by Nae Yeon-hyeok. They admitted defeat with admiration.
Truly overwhelming inaction!
And the followers of Yeon Jeong-hyeok who emerged at that time were the people who make up Ma Gwang-cheon today.
In any case, from Yeonwoojung’s perspective, the natural name of Sogaju of the Tang family was not such an incomprehensible entity. Killing hundreds of people was not such a big deal considering the characteristics of Tang and martial arts that were suitable for mass murder. It is possible that Jang Tae-cheon, the lord of Mokyeong Palace, was caught off guard.
‘Anyway, Socheong will have that level of inaction by that age.’
Yeonwoojung thought. Although he was his own son, Yeoncheong was born with considerable qualities. Even though he was a child he acquired during his mission, he felt like he was his blood relative. He planned to tell his father’s secret someday. If you learn the great Buddhist teachings, you will be equipped with martial arts skills that can easily overwhelm Tang Dynasty Sogaju.
Yeon Woo-jung had also learned the Great Strength and Heuksa Sword Techniques that Hyeon Yang-mun was proud of. Indeed, it was a martial arts style influenced by Heuksaryeonju, and although it had a simple yet mysterious aspect, its limitations were clear. It is a martial art suitable only for someone from a lowly male family. It cannot keep up with the qualifications of Yeoncheong. Perhaps Yeoncheong will soon master both martial arts skills and feel a thirst for new martial arts skills.
At that time, the intention was to pass on the rising martial arts of Shingyo.
The succession has not yet been ‘officially’ decided, and Hyeon Yang-mun had no chance of participating in the Sacheon branch due to Yeon Cheong’s young age. Perhaps I will participate in the next Sacheon branch.
And at that time, all the Bangpa members who participated in the Sacheon branch will be surprised. To the emergence of a new expert with formidable martial arts skills.
The Sacheon branch was the most efficient means to raise the name of Bangpa and expand its territory. As long as the skills of the participating successors are certain, it will only be a matter of time before they take up important positions in the Black Silhouette.
The mission that Yeon Woo-jung received from Shingyo was to infiltrate one of the Sado Bangpas in Sichuan and become a high-ranking figure of the Black Sassyeon.
The current Heavenly Demon Church truly boasts the strongest power of all time. Of course, this is when Ma Gwang-cheon’s taxes are included.
Thanks to Ma Gwang-cheon, who was powerful throughout the eastern part of the central Wulin region, including Hubei, the Heavenly Demon God Church predicted that if they could do something about Gansu, Shaanxi, and Sichuan, they would be able to create a world of demons.
Now that he had completed some preparations, he was about to begin his move to trample on the Jeongdo martial arts, starting with Kunlun.
However, no matter how much the Heavenly Demon Church was, it was bound to be burdensome to see Sichuan’s black sand lotus.
To be exact, it was the burden I felt toward an individual named Yoo Gil-jun, the Black Snake Runner.
Didn’t they already exterminate three of the nine sects during the time when they were the Heuksa Sect, not the Heuksaeryeon? It was quite famous that even though Ami and Jang Mun-in of Jeomchang worked together, they were cruelly defeated. From the perspective of Kunlun, who was only a member of the nine factions, and the Heavenly Demon Church, which had been fighting for a long time, Yu Gil-jun’s power was truly immeasurable. Of course, the inaction of the Kunlun faction’s general, Ma Xuan, was far superior to that of other nine factions’ generals, but…
In addition, the Heuksa Reunju was born with the qualities of a great master, and he strengthened his power by giving military awards to his subordinates from time to time. The apostolic forces, which had originally been overwhelming in number, now have armed forces. Naturally, the Heavenly Demon Church wanted to avoid clashes with the Black Sillyas as much as possible. Even if a magician and an apostle collide, the only thing that will be good is the degree of power.
As time passed, what the Church of Heavenly Demons noticed was that Yoo Gil-jun, the master of Black Death, had no worthy successor. Although she had an adopted daughter, Yoo Yeon-hee, it did not seem like she had passed on her martial arts skills to her.
So, what happens after Yoo Gil-jun’s death?
Even if the central point is lost, it will not easily collapse. Even though it was limited to four thousand countries, the apostles who achieved it with great difficulty will not give up on the world. However, unless a truly outstanding figure appeared, the Heuksaryeon could not operate like the current system. Most likely, the leadership will gather opinions and jointly run the Black Silk Alliance.
What the Heavenly Demon Church was aiming for was the position of its leader. Rather than trying to recruit people, he was planning to crush Protestants. Because Heuksaryeonju Yu Giljun was still young, there was still a lot of time left to plan his death.
Although the person assigned to the mission was not a direct descendant of the religious leader, the fact that he was a relative of the religious leader gave an idea of the seriousness of the mission. And since Hyeonyangmun’s circumstances were judged to be the easiest to infiltrate, Yeon Woo-jung became Nam Jin-sun’s second son-in-law.
Also, although no one at Hyeonyangmun was aware of it, Hyeonyangchon was under the protection of the Heavenly Demon Church, knowingly or unknowingly. It was exceptionally more prosperous than other villages around the capital, and the surrounding clans, which could have been threatening, disappeared without a sound. Among the civilians living in Hyeonyangchon, there were quite a few religious believers who kept their identities hidden. An entire military unit that was good at hiding was waiting for orders from Yeon Woo-jung and secretly escorting Yeon-cheong.
‘It’s almost time for Socheong to come.’
Yeon Woo-jung muttered, remembering his son’s face. A guy who seems to have been taken straight from his own childhood. He had an arrogant disposition, perhaps because he was raised with respect from a young age, but Yeon Woo-jung did not consider it a major flaw.
Those who excel at inaction tend to be self-righteous. Because my accumulated military education is superior to others. Since the young Yeoncheong is showing superior achievements than his half-siblings, it is natural for him to develop a certain degree of pride and arrogance. I didn’t want to teach my son how to be humble in a small town like this, since I could later teach him that there is a sky above the sky.
at that time.
“A great man. A great man…!”
There was someone running in a huff. A very urgent tone.
Yeonwoo-jung’s new brother stretched out like a stick of taffy and stopped right in front of the running man.
“What’s going on?”
Yeon Woo-jung’s face became a little stiff. He instinctively sensed that something had happened. His man was the one whom Yeon Woo-jung appointed as a servant to her son, Yeon-cheong. The fact that he returned alone meant that something had happened to Yeoncheong.
‘No way. Cheonwoldae must be guarding the area near Socheong.’

Cheonwoldae was one of the elite military units of the Heavenly Demon Church. They were all warriors who were able to hide even their magical energy, a trait that was revealed when they learned magic. Just ten of them would be able to wipe out most small to medium-sized sects overnight. Thirty Cheonwoldae people are guarding Yeoncheong.
• • • •
The servant man finally caught his breath and opened his mouth.
“Young Master Socheong is being harassed by some Jukrip people…!”
As soon as the word ‘一’ was spoken in the blacksmith shop, Yeon Woo-jung’s new form became blurred, a huge wind blew, and the sound of the manor’s main gate being blown open was heard.
Soon, shadows appeared from all over the manor and chased after Yeon Woo-jung. They were nearly seventy members of the Cheonwoldae Church of the Heavenly Demon Church.
The servant man with a bewildered expression was the only one standing there.
