Murim Login Chapter 1088

I have overcome many crises so far.

Even just inside the gate, he has faced countless life-and-death moments, so it is no exaggeration to say that he is as good as any other Noh Kang-ho in terms of experience alone.

So I know it very well.

In times like these, we need to judge the situation more calmly.

And now, four days have passed since I arrived in Xining, I have finally reached a conclusion through cool-headed judgment and additional information.

“Mujin.”

“yes. “Just give orders.”

Hyuk Mu-jin looked at me with burning eyes and pounded his chest.

“There is this Hyuk Moo-jin, the leader’s dependable right-hand man.”

I opened my mouth to this shabby little toe-like guy.

“I guess I’m screwed.”

“yes?”

“I feel like I’m screwed.” really.”

“… … “Are you serious?”

My bright eyes turned cold as if cold water had been poured on them, but I had no choice but to answer calmly.

“uh. completely.”

“No, you didn’t say that until a few days ago.”

“It did. Initially.”

But the situation is very different from then.

The Yangtze River Waterway Alliance and the Green Forest Alliance.

It wasn’t enough that he got stabbed in the back by two gangs of thieves, and even the chief’s Podalap Palace joined hands with Amcheon.

The launch of Podalap Palace at such an exquisite time also meant that support from Sichuan could no longer be expected.

And the midfield.

“Now that the military ships of the great powers that guarded the tributaries of the Yangtze River have been annihilated, it is as if the waterways of the Central Plains have completely fallen into their hands for the time being.”

I wanted to deny it, but it was a reality that I could no longer deny.

The rumor that the enemies of the Yangtze River Alliance, led by the King of the Sea, Palyun, had achieved a huge victory against the great country had already been confirmed to be true by Jeon Seo-eung, who arrived the night before.

“Even though we suffered a crushing defeat this time, aren’t there still many military ships remaining? “The power of a great country is not this much, and how wide is the Yangtze River?”

What Hyuk Moo-jin said is correct.

Is it a great game for no reason?

Although he suffered severe damage in this battle with the Yangtze River Alliance, if he completely lost control of the Yangtze River to this extent, he would not have been able to claim to be the master of the world in the first place.

But the important thing is.

“hour. Time is the issue. “Isn’t that right?”

A familiar voice suddenly interrupted.

Before I knew it, Gungseong appeared from behind Jeokcheongang and received word.

“The time given to them will be more fatal to us than anything else.”

right.

Regardless of whether it is the Three-Il-Tian-Ha or the Hwa-Mu-Il-Hong, there is no way to immediately stop the current Yangtze River Waterway Alliance.

By the time a great country uses its national authority to commandeer any ships it can find and gather its naval forces scattered across the world, it will be too late for everything.

By then, Cheonghae Castle, or rather Seonyeong, would have been completely surrounded from both front and back.

“So, how many of those damn thieves have gathered together?”

I answered Jeokcheon River’s question.

“The estimate so far is around thirty thousand.”

“Huh, they’re coming at us like a pack of dogs. After all, the only thing these Black Island bastards can boast about is their number of heads.”

“It would have been better if there had been more people. “If the head disappears, it will fall apart on its own.”

As is the case everywhere, Heukdo and Sapa are groups where the importance of the central point is particularly notable.

This is because their essence is to repeat the process of uniting and gathering together, relying on the individual who is the center and head of the group based on powerful force and tolerance. 

Sea King Paryun.

And Taegunak, King of Green Forest.

If only the two supreme masters who symbolized the Black Island were eliminated, the combined forces of the Yangtze River Alliance and the Green Forest Alliance might not have been such a difficult opponent.

Of course, this is only when no new uninvited guests appear.

“Yes, Amcheon. “I told you they had joined.”

“yes. That’s a lot of work. “It’s one-third of our total strength.”

After hearing my answer, Jeokcheongang whetted his appetite.

“You put the leash on very tightly. “Don’t dare set your teeth on the owner.”

“That’s why it’s more of a problem. “No matter what happens now, Paryun and Taegunak will attack us.”

“I guess so. “Those cowards who have confirmed the existence of a strange hex that they had only heard about will become more and more frustrated.”

As many as ten thousand enemies came out.

And that too in the middle of midfield.

The existence of Lee Dong-jin (移動陳) in the Jungwon martial arts group has always been a source of concern, but whether those concerns become reality is a completely different matter.

And it seems that this was a problem that even famous factions such as the Zhuge Dynasty and the Shaman faction could not ignore.

Even they, who were no different from the losers of Hubei Wulin, did not dare to confront them head on and chose to avoid them.

Among them, I heard that the Zhuge Dynasty even left the family home that had been rooted for hundreds of years and took refuge in Mt. Wudang.

‘It’s not that I don’t understand it because it’s relatively weak compared to other prestigious factions, but… … Was that really the best choice?’

I suddenly thought of Zhuge Feng, the head of the Zhuge family.

It wasn’t a relationship that lasted very long, but from what I observed while staying in Hubei, he was a decent person.

Like a rock in a rough current, he was free-spirited, but had unwavering perseverance and the ability to support it was outstanding.

And above all, he was also a man who was worthy of being called Daehyeop (大俠), without any shortcomings.

‘But why?’

I want to ask.

Not in their minds like now, but in front of them.

The nine factions, the five generations, and the heads and heads of numerous political factions.

One flag that they all raised together. Murim Alliance.

I wanted to look straight into the eyes of those who did not hesitate to call themselves true believers and ask this question.

Is this the right path that you were so proud of?

Is the reason why we failed to stop the traitors heading west what you are talking about?

Wow.

At that time, the sound of bones resounded from the fist that had gained strength. Jeokcheongang, who was staring at me with calm eyes, suddenly opened his mouth.

“You can be cowardly in the face of crisis. “Anyone.”

“I know.”

I added quietly.

Thinking back to the past that still remains like a scar to this day.

“Because I was like that too.”

“It sounds like you mean you won’t do it again.”

“I promised. To myself.”

“You probably feel this keenly, but just based on what has been revealed so far, their power is beyond imagination. “If Seonyeong is surrounded like this, it will be a very difficult battle for us.”

Gungseong, who had been quietly observing the situation, also nodded, as if agreeing with those words.

They were two people who had reached a level that no warrior could even dream of, but their current situation was so bad that even they could think of the word defeat.

“Nobu said it earlier. “Anyone can become cowardly in the face of crisis.”

Jeokcheongang’s profound gaze is directed at me. A quiet voice followed.

“If the situation is like now, even if we plan to do it later, no one in the world will be able to point a finger at you.”

Plan for the future.

Hyuk Mu-jin’s eyes widened as he realized the meaning contained in that short word, and the palace remained silent.

And I am.

“I guess so. “Maybe, no, definitely.”

Looking straight at the Jeokcheon River, he continued speaking.

“If I plan something later… … No, even if I run away, they have no right to insult me.”

“Even if that’s the case, it doesn’t matter. “If there is someone who criticizes you, Nobu himself will pull out that bastard’s tongue and turn the fingers of the punter into ash.”

“I know that too.”

“however?”

“I will stay. “Here.”

Jeokcheongang’s brow furrowed at my calm answer.

“Why?”

“If we leave like this, Cheonghae will be over. “The countless civilians staying in Seonyeong will not even be given time to escape.”

“If we are imprisoned here, then not Cheonghae but the entire world may fall into their hands.”

This is by no means overconfidence or exaggeration.

The Three Stars and the Ten Kings are the symbols of the martial arts world and the most powerful force.

It’s a shame, but so am I, who has already become a symbol.

In addition, a power vacuum directly leads to defeat.

Jeokcheongang continued to speak like a sigh toward me who was silent.

“The world has already turned a blind eye. Gupailbang, Odaesega, and Murimmaeng turned their backs. “Do you mean to say that I still have to make such a foolish choice?”

It was that moment.

I opened my tightly closed lips.

“Even so, I have to do it.”

“what?”

“No, everyone is ignoring us and turning their backs on us, so we have to do it even more.”

Jade is beautiful even at the moment it shatters.

The light emitted as it splits into dozens of pieces is more brilliant than ever.

That is prison.

That’s why it’s a prison sentence.

Because it was so brilliant that we forgot the word destruction.

Because even though it is broken, it is not dirty.

“Have you ever seen jade covered in dirt and dust?”

I continued speaking in a slow but clear voice to Jeokcheongang, who was looking at me with wide-open eyes.

“I don’t have any. But I know. “Jade that has already become dirty will lose its value, even if only for a moment.”

Of course, even if that is the case, the essence of jade does not disappear.

Even if it looks like dirt, there is light hidden inside.

But no one will touch it after seeing the dirt covering its beautiful surface.

One day, a torrent of rain did not wash away the jade. 

Unless someone who remembers jade’s true form finds it and carefully cleans it.

so.

“It is better to be broken than to be defiled.”

“… … !”

“… … !”

“… … !”

Feeling the trembling air, I let out the breath I had been holding.

okay. This is correct.

Even if the end is death, it must not lose its original brilliant light.

We have to make sure everyone remembers. It must make you realize the most important thing that you have forgotten for a while due to the excuse of the cause and the anxiety of losing it.

The prison called justice.

And I will do my best to protect it.

It will not be broken or defiled.

There is still so much left to do before we can reach that glorious final moment.

Because the biggest and hardest wall that casts a shadow remains in the world.

‘Lord of heaven.’

It was at that time that the meaning of those two letters, which had become so close, resonated in my heart.

In the heavily subdued air, Jeokcheon-gang, who was deep in thought with his head down, suddenly parted his lips.

“Have you ever seen a jade covered in dirt and dust?”

He muttered to himself and raised his head. 

Although his body had become younger, a familiar face was reflected in his aged eyes filled with age.

“Yes, I saw it. “I remember it very clearly.”

He looks at me.

The deeply sunken eyes that remind me of that day not so long ago shine.

“That’s when I realized. “What a brilliant light the bloody and weak lump of blood in front of my eyes holds.”

“… … !”

“Nobu said so. If there are people who curse or point fingers at you, I will personally punish them. But do you know?”

The wrinkles between the eyebrows deepen. 

Before I knew it, he had a bright smile on his face, and slowly stretched out his hand and placed his hand on my shoulder.

“If you had made the same choice as them, Nobu would never have forgiven you.”

Gungseong opened his mouth with a gentle smile.

“Unfortunately, that won’t happen. “I have too good a disciple for that.”

Laughter came out without me knowing.

Yes, I guess so.

Because the Jeokcheongang I know was that kind of person from the beginning.

First of all, he would go to the people who were insulting his one and only student, step on them, and then use his remaining strength to beat up the foolish student.

“I guess you should use that power somewhere else.”

Jeokcheongang laughed out loud at my words and responded.

“I think so. “I squeezed all the strength I had from breastfeeding.”

And those words became reality in less than half a day.
