Episode 13
The place where people gathered was in front of the cliff.
‘It’s true.’
Yeon Yeom-myeong recognized the cliff as soon as he saw it. Although I was not well versed in the true method, I had experienced the things my master had set up for training several times in my past life. There were many different types of formations, but most of them confused the senses. For the most part, it was just an illusion, but the master said that practitioners who had reached a truly advanced level could artificially distort the energy that makes up all things and actually manifest the desired phenomenon. That’s what he went through too.
Especially with such a blatantly foreign aura, it was impossible not to know the existence of Jinbeop.
Of course, that only applied to natural people, and for others, there was only a very slight difference. Even among the warriors of the King of Darkness and King of Dok, only a few could feel the difference.
“wait a moment. “You will be able to rest soon.”
A warrior who appeared to be a member of the Dark King said. At those words, the boys and girls who participated in the competition looked suspicious. How on earth do you rest?
Finally, even though we reached the seventh point, it looks like we won’t be moving any further. So this means that this is the destination, but even though I looked everywhere, I couldn’t find any place to rest. One side was blocked by a tall cliff. Moreover, even the sunset was getting darker.
“I guess you’re right. “I see there really is a true method.”
Chiljo Boy Dang Ijeon whispered. I remembered what Tang Yu-ri said. She had speculated that a certain amount of money had flowed into the Zhuge family, so she might have set up a secret system.
“We’ll see. “Maybe not.”
Tang Yuli shrugged his shoulders and said. But she soon muttered in a voice full of doubt, as if even she wasn’t sure of herself. It seems so surprising, but is there really a strategy?
“What if you say that? “What do you think of Yan Ming?”
Tang Mi-ryeo, whose complexion was still pale, gave Tang Yu-ri a little scolding and asked the boy. Although Yeon-myeong barely spoke during the move, the seven boys and girls implicitly came to rely on him. This is because Yeon Myeong exudes a composure and boldness that is not appropriate for her age. Just like an adult.
“It will open soon.”
“what?”
Seven groups of boys and girls simultaneously expressed doubts about the obvious statement. Since it is open, does that mean there is a true law? How did you detect that? How did you know it would open soon?
However, before I had time to ask Yeon Myeong specifically, changes began to occur in the scene before my eyes.
Saaaaaaa⎯
It was on the side of the cliff that the change occurred. The shape of the cliff suddenly began to disintegrate, turning into watery fog of the same color. The boys and girls were rubbing their eyes or pinching their cheeks, as if they couldn’t believe what they were seeing with their own eyes.
‘I guess it can only be operated from the inside.’
I guessed the name of course. Otherwise, there was no way I would have waited helplessly even after all seven groups arrived. Considering the safety of the competition participants, it was a good method. Of course, this method would not work for those who were stronger than a certain level.
After some time passed, seven figures appeared on the other side of the water mist. one of them said.
“Please enter a password.”
“Death to death.”
“Confirmed. “Please come in at least one group.”
As soon as the Dokwangdae warrior, who appeared to be leading the group, finished speaking, the fog on one side cleared. There was a man dressed as a student standing inside, and the warrior of Dokwangdae, who saw his face, nodded and spoke to the group of boys.
“You guys follow the author.”
“All right.”
The group of boys also nodded and answered, then carefully crossed through the fog and approached the man dressed as a student. After confirming that all the boys had crossed over, the man mumbled something and turned around, and the fog that had cleared filled the place again. Soon, beyond the fog, a group of human figures turned white and disappeared.
What remains are six figures.
“This group, please enter a password.”
“Three trillion passwords….”
“The company is….”…….
Same way as Joe.
One by one, each group entered a password and walked into the cleared fog.
‘You put quite a bit of thought into it.’
Yeon Myeong thought as he watched what was happening in front of his eyes. The strategy that unfolded was not simply one. Several formations were complexly intertwined, and each formation seemed to be handled by the men standing behind the fog.
It seemed like some groups would be able to get out even if variables such as the formation being broken occurred. And each group seemed to be given a separate training space.
The last remaining person, Inyoung, spoke.
“Please enter the password for the seventh group.”
“The king of dark poison.”
“Confirmed. “I hope the seven groups come in.”
The fog clears in the same way. What appeared was a middle-aged man holding a sword.
“Good luck.”
The Queen of Darkness, who brought the seven groups here, gave a well-wishes. Yeon-myeong nodded slightly with a calm face, and Tang Yi-jeon, Tang Yu-li, and Tang Mi-ryeo put their hands together to say hello and walked away.
“Then, let’s go.”
The man holding the sergeant took the lead and muttered something unintelligible. Soon, fog filled the back of the seven group members, including Yeon Myeong, and darkness came for an instant.
Yeon Myeong realized that he had completely entered the true law. Feeling completely disconnected from the outside world.
“You probably have a lot of questions.”
In the darkness, only the man walking ahead was clearly visible.
“Just follow behind me. Yeongsik of the Tang family. “My name is Zhuge Changsin, who has been put in charge of the Seven Dynasties of Gyeonggyeong.”
“Jegalse…!”
Tang Yi Zhen muttered in a slightly surprised tone. This time, Tang Yu-ri’s guess was correct. Didn’t they say that the Zhuge family’s military might be in place?
“You still call me Sega. Thank you. First of all, I should first tell you why I, a member of the Zhuge family, became involved in the Tang family’s competition for Sojiajou. Unlike back home, it is not easy to accumulate wealth. “It is difficult to just protect the territory right now.”
As Zhuge Changxin said, the situation of the Zhuge family was not very good. After the battle with Ma Guangtian, all the key masters died and the Zhuge family was also in decline. In particular, in order to revive the family, they even used up their family fortune to purchase elixirs and devoted great effort to training the next generation, but the core essence was already lost in battle. For this reason, there was no expert who could turn the situation around.
Furthermore, Zhuge Dynasty’s martial arts was largely related to Jinbeop, and materials that could be said to contain related sentiments were also burned or stolen by Ma Gwang-cheon’s masters.
In such a situation, the number of Sado and Mao clans attacking the now easy-going Zhuge family increased one by one, and it was difficult for the Zhuge family to even protect Yangyang near Yongzhong Mountain in Hubei Province, their home base.
“My family has received considerable financial support from your family over the years. It’s something I’m thankful for. “If it weren’t for that, the main family would have collapsed long ago.”
Zhuge Changxin’s words were not empty words. Even if a family was made up of blood relatives, it would take a huge amount of wealth to maintain the samurai family. This meant that for one person to practice martial arts all day long, someone had to take full responsibility for his or her livelihood. While the foundation of the Zhuge family was being eaten away day by day, the support of the Tang family must have been like a rain in a drought.
“So, for this homecoming event, as a way of repaying the favor, my family supported seven people, including me. This is to protect you safely by mobilizing the family’s most powerful force, the Seven Swordsmen, and to evaluate you fairly as an outsider. Of course, we will also help you practice using Jinbeop.”
As I walked while listening to Zhuge Changxin’s story, a completely new landscape suddenly appeared. A small manor had appeared before my eyes. Of course, the seven boys and girls, excluding Myeong, thought for a moment that it was an illusion, but the closer they got, the more realistic Jangwon’s presence became, so they had no choice but to believe that she was real.
“As you might guess, each of the seven groups will train under the same conditions and in a different space. “The reason each group is given a separate training space is so that they cannot check each other’s achievements.”
‘That’s fun.’
Yeon Myeong immediately saw the intention. Three years of training. How anxious must they be because they cannot check the achievements of other groups in the meantime? In fact, both the most accomplished and the least successful students will have no choice but to continue training for three years.

“You must have been tired, so please get some rest first. “Other people will explain the details.”
At the same time as those words were said, there were people coming out of the manor. They were ten warriors dressed in black. One of them gave Zhuge Changxin a light hand. There seemed to be some respect in his own way.
“Thank you for your hard work. “Jegal unmanned.”
“no. I just went for a walk and came back. Anyway, I am looking forward to the future of Dangga. All 28 people in the seven groups were extraordinary. “It is enviable for our family to see so many brilliant late-stage indexes.”
“…high praise.”
Even though he said that, the man who gave the fist was not in a bad mood, so his mouth drew a line. Zhuge Changxin slightly nodded his head, lightly fanned himself and disappeared somewhere, and his man looked at the seven birds and said:
“Follow me. “I’ll show you a place to rest.”
Tang Yi-jeon, Tang Yu-ri, and Tang Mi-ryeo, including Yeon-myeong, followed him into the manor. The men in black were all radiating sharp energy, and Won Yeom-myeong felt that each of them had skills comparable to that of Tang Ji-hyeok, the king of poison. Of course, the skill of a Danga warrior could not be measured by mere momentum.
Anyway, each group of seven was assigned one room. It was quite big and comfortable. Is it because he is a potential small family owner that he is treated well? The man who guided the boys and girls who were thinking that way said with a meaningful expression.
“It would be good to get some proper rest for today. “I’ll have to stay somewhere else starting tomorrow.”
****
A day has passed.
The seven groups of boys and girls who woke up at Myoshi (05-07 am) had to gather in one place as soon as they finished eating the provided meal.
“I don’t know if you rested well. “You can think of it as starting today as the competition for the head family and small family owners begins in earnest.”
The man in black said that and looked at the seven boys and girls. Everyone looked nervous, but only one boy had a relaxed expression on his face. It may have been his first time leaving his family and being thrown into an unfamiliar environment, but he showed no signs of agitation. I can’t help but draw attention.
‘You’ll see. ‘Do you have the skills to show off your composure?’
The man soon took his eyes off Yeon Myeong and continued speaking.
“First, let’s decide on your titles.”
“…What do you mean by title?”
Dang Yi-jeon asked with a puzzled expression. Why bother when you have a name?
“This is to ensure fairness. Among you, there will certainly be blood relatives of people who hold important positions in the family, and there will also be people who have no connections at all. Moreover, we are also members of the party family. If you look at relationships, there must be some kind of connection with you. “It is to exclude that.”
It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand. In fact, people like Tang Yeong-ryeong, Tang Mun-chan, and Tang Jeong-il, who are the granddaughters of the three elders, Tang Seok-hyung, participated in this Sogaju competition. It may have been due to a war of nerves among the elders, but efforts to ensure fairness in the competition were visible here and there. As a matter of course, it wasn’t a bad thing.
“You are No. 25, you are No. 26, you are No. 27, you are… No. 28.”
The man pointed to each one and numbered them. Tang Yu-ri and Tang Mi-ryeo were numbered 25 and 26 respectively, Dang Ijeon became number 27, and finally, Yeon-myeong became number 28.
“Next, we need to know who we are.”
At the words of the man in black, the other men lined up took a step closer. Tang Yi-jeon, Tang Yu-li, and Tang Mi-ryeo’s eyes sparkled. I wanted to ask from the beginning, but I couldn’t because of the extremely strict atmosphere. Naturally, it was obvious that they were from the same party based on their temperament, but the other members of the Seven Group were unable to understand the men in black in that way. As for family members, there were only people I swear I’ve never seen before.
After a moment of silence, the man in black slowly opened his mouth.
“…we are sinners.”
