Episode 310: True Story
Thud! Dozens of dents stretched out like tree roots carving paths through the ground.
This was a clear move that showed why Geomchi was called the Overlord and why he was the most evil sect.
I just grabbed whatever weapons I could find in the air and slashed them indiscriminately. But to this extent.
What's even more surprising is that none of the demons escaped without being hurt.
This means that it is a true jade that can handle enormous internal energy with great precision.
"hmm……."
Geumyasang spat. He had scoffed at the news of the king's arrival and boldly went out alone to greet him, but now he saw that this was no ordinary man. He was unconsciously overwhelmed by the momentum.
"How is it, do you have some faith now?"
When Geomchi asked in a tired tone, Geumyasang bit his lip and slowly nodded.
I don't think someone with that kind of power would come all the way to the front yard of the Demonic Cult and tell lies, and I don't think he's at a level where he can't even tell the difference between the real and the fake.
"Are you saying that the young cult leader really went to see the Sadoryeon?"
"That's right. He said he was the leader."
"hmm……."
The sound of the night sky erupted again. My body trembled. It had a different meaning than before.
The youngest sect leader, Ma Cheon So… … .
How could I forget him? To be precise, his other name weighed heavily on Geumyasang's shoulder.
Black Mars.
Although I didn't witness his power directly, the feeling was greater than what I had seen.
To be exact, the shadow of the mad horse Yalulcheon has not yet been lifted.
That merciless monster who manipulated and oppressed the Presbyterian Church.
But even he had knelt before Ma Cheon-so’s hand… … .
'The young cult leader has returned alive… …. We must spread this news quickly.'
This was a serious problem that could turn a mountain upside down.
The previous leader, Ma Tae-pyeong, disappeared, and even the younger leader died, so Hongraksa was able to easily ascend to the position of leader.
If it becomes known throughout the heavens that he, the legitimate successor, is alive… … .
"Rebellion. The believers will rise up. This is not a problem I can resolve on my own."
Geumyasang's face turned pale.
Geomchi tilted his head and glanced at him.
"Is there a problem?"
“……You should tell him the same thing you told me just now.”
"Him?"
"High Priest Banya. I'm going to him now."
"No, wait. Me too?"
The outstretched hands were rendered colorless as the Golden Night and Demon Cultists immediately turned their backs.
Huh. Geomchi looked back and forth between the people ahead and the Cheonsan Mountain that reached the sky, and let out a hollow laugh.
"Brother, what should I do?"
"I'm going crazy. I told Yeonju I'd be back within ten days. This time, it won't end with an injury. If I do well… I'll be dead."
Jjebuk. Geomchi's steps began.
To the top of the mountain, not the bow.
Even if it's right when it's right, I need to know what I need to know.
"Let's go. To meet the real Demonic Cult."
The mountain range began to shake as the typhoon swept through Cheonsan Mountain.

Shanxi Martial Arts Alliance Rock Carvings
A few days have passed since the martial arts competition ended.
Ma Cheon-so moved his residence from Myeong-gak to Am-gak.
There wasn't much difference from before.
All that's left is that the interior has been replaced by masked, unidentified warriors, and the office has seen a significant increase in orchids.
"I'm still taking care of it. Hehe."
Chun-gae, who entered the office, leaned back and looked around the room twice.
I didn't realize this place was so comfortable. It's cozy, just like Beijing's Geulgae Village.
That's why they say you should make good friends.
"The situation outside."
Ma Cheon-so covered the document he was examining and asked without hesitation.
"First of all, I sent a messenger to the Blue Dragon and Hwalong units to return immediately, and I also lifted the security on the Maeng's entry and exit."
At Chun-gae's brief situation report, Ma Cheon-so lifted his overflowing teacup. It was completely cold and had no steam, indicating he had been intoxicated by his work for quite some time.
"What about the sects?"
"Well, he's quiet. He's not being cooperative. The acting president has changed, and no one's even sent a palanquin. Isn't it obvious? He's probably weighing the pros and cons of being in that position."
Ma Cheon-so rested his chin on his hand and absentmindedly tapped the table.
It's an obvious situation. Most sects have direct or indirect connections to Zhuge Liang and others.
But this situation, which suddenly ended, may not be very pleasant.
No, that would be very unpleasant.
Because they are extremely realistic beings, far from ideal.
The reason it is so quiet is probably because of the inscription on the rock.
"Why? Even if it's not a bare ledger, there are more than a few corruptions that could be revealed one by one if you search through them. Why don't you find them all and put them on a warrant?"

Thump. The knocking of the door stopped.
"Cover all but one."
"What should I cover myself with? Are you cold? Can I get a cloth?"
Chun-gae pulled a palm-sized piece of cloth from his bosom. "Is there anywhere I can cover myself with that?"
"The Great Battle of Jeongsa is imminent. The internal turmoil is over. Maintenance is the priority."
"Mommy. Hey, that's not right. Those bastards who stuck with Jegalmun and did everything should be humiliated."
"It's not too late to do it after the fight is over."
"No, then what is one?"
"A place that can serve as a good example."
Chun-gae frowned, his forehead furrowed in dissatisfaction.
It was definitely different.
If it were the old quantum angle, I would have started working without considering the consequences. I don't know whether to call this a good thing or a bad thing.
"I don't know. But, well, since the agent told me to, I have to."
"Don't worry. You'll pay the price anyway."
"That's right… well, more than that, these Sado-ryeon guys are a bit strange. If we look at it according to common sense, they should have passed Seojang, crossed Qinghai, Gansu, Shaanxi, and arrived here in Shanxi, right? But this is a mess."
Chun-gae sat down on the floor and pretended to draw a map of the Central Plains with his hands, then quickly pointed out the locations.
"I'm not sure, but let's say the far right is Shanxi, where the Martial Arts Alliance is. And here in the middle. You're saying the news first came from Zhongnan in Shaanxi? Oh my, it didn't fall from the sky, it's unbelievable. And next on the left is the Gansu clan. So far so good. Let's say so. But then here, all of a sudden! He came back and appeared in front of the Martial Arts Alliance? Does that make sense?"
Go. Because I told you to.
Ma Cheon-so glanced at Chun-gae's fingertips with indifferent eyes.
"This is really strange. I guess I'll have to keep looking into it…."
"Chun-gae."
"huh?"
"Finding the current whereabouts of the Sadolyeon is the priority. How they got here in the past isn't important right now. And if the Death King hid himself and moved in a torn manner, it's entirely possible."
"That's true, but… these Sapha kids I know are naturally boastful. If I were to show it openly, they wouldn't know, but these guys who would act like this…"
Thump! As Chun-gae's suspicions continued, Ma Cheon-so cut him off by slamming the table.
"The Biryongdae and Sabo were defeated by the Murim Alliance. The Jongnam faction, the Gongdong faction, and the Hyeongsan faction were destroyed. Even if Gaebong hadn't joined in, things wouldn't have come to this."
"that……!"
That's right… Chun-gae bowed his head deeply. He had personally confirmed that Gae-bok had sided with Jegalmun and the others. No matter how much he bent his arms, this was not something he could tolerate as a person of integrity.
"Not only to Gaebang, but to all sects. This is a collusion carried out solely by Jegalmun and others for personal gain. It has no connection to other sects."
"Ugh…."
"Also, send half of the power to the Murim Alliance."
"Oh, Halina?!"
My mouth fell open in amazement. Speaking of power, it meant a first-class warrior or higher.
Asking them to send half of them was a drastic measure that was bound to meet with a backlash.
As the saying goes, after the last Jeongsa Daejeon War, we've been struggling for years to rebuild our power. How many places would be willing to send half their people back to their deaths?
"Mommy, if that happens, all the sects will scream and say they're leaving the alliance."
That's probably right. But Ma Cheon-so had no intention of accepting that kind of whining.
"It doesn't matter, just."
"step?"
"The corruption that was buried will come to the surface again."
Huh. This scary kid. Chun-gae stuck out his tongue.
So that's why you needed an example? To show what happens when you don't listen?
How on earth did he live to become so vicious… … I realized once again that this kid has a plan.
However, this was not the end.
"And from now on, the upper council will be headed by one of the upper councils, not the Murim Alliance. Please convey that as well."
"What the heck…."
If the top takes over, there aren't many candidates. No, there's only one.
With Jegalmun and the others gone, the Manwol Sangdan is like a kite with a broken string, and then the place that will become the undisputed top is… … .
“Daesung Sangdan… Is that place also related to you?”
That's right. It's the Demonic Cult's money manager.
"It's just a place that has a connection with Sacheonhoe."
Chun-gae nodded and muttered as if he had realized something.
"They're going to inherit the Upper Council and eliminate any sects that don't cooperate. The justification for the Jeongsa War is clear, so I can't refuse."
That's correct.
“And… I have a special request.”
"A favor? Oh my! You're the kind of guy who only orders people around, you know how to ask for favors? What do you mean? I'm asking you to do something for me, so I have to do it."
I see if I wanted to see if I wanted to.
Ma Cheon-so licked his lips and muttered with his eyes downcast.
"Do you know where your father is?"
Hmph. Chun-gae's back stiffened.
There's no other reason. It's just that the word "father" carries such weight.
"Your Majesty…?"
The leader, Yang Tae-hong. An absolute being who disappeared after his confrontation with the Sadoryeonju.
"Yeah. I have to meet him."
"Uh, um… that's right. You should see your family now too. You can't not see them forever. But it's a bit much to show up with a face younger than Sohye and say, "I'm your brother" like that… What I'm saying is…! I don't know where you are either…"
"what?"
What do you mean, after all this nonsense? Does it make sense that the Fire Lord of Openness doesn't know the whereabouts of the leader?
It wasn't a lie.
"Yeah. It's not just me who doesn't know this. Even Ark's old man doesn't know. It seems like So-hye doesn't know either. He must have been in such dire straits that he passed away without saying a word."
Ha. I knew he was gone, but I thought he'd at least said something.
All the authors, whether here or there, are fathers… … .
‘Could it be that this time I go back to the past… …?’
Ma Cheon-so suddenly felt a chill down his spine and his body trembled.
One quickly shook his head and erased it like a knife.
"I already destroyed the Seonghwasaru with my own hands when I fought against the nameless. It no longer exists in the present world."
It was certain. Seonghwaryeong was the same. Before committing suicide in Cheonma-dong, he had met Princess Seonghwa and given her the Seonghwaryeong. However, after committing suicide, when he returned to the present, Seonghwaryeong remained in his mind.
This is because when he committed suicide and was reincarnated with only the memories of the two sides, he received the Holy Spirit back from the Holy Spirit Princess.
To put it simply, the mind and memory can travel back in time, but the body and events cannot escape the absolute shackles of time.
"if……."
"Is he dead?" As Ma Cheon-so opened his mouth, covering up his words, Chun-gae waved his hand and answered.
"No. He's alive. He often sends letters to Sohye. I just don't know where he is."
"Who brought the letter? There must be someone who brought it."
"That? A pigeon."
Crazy. You're saying that.
Ma Cheon-so sighed, as if frustrated. He'd finally resolved to meet her, but it was all in vain.
"Is it true that all fathers do is hide…"
"Huh? What?"
"Okay. You can go now."
Ma Cheon-so waved his hands as if he was tired.
Chun-gae shrugged his shoulders and shook his butt.
"I was planning on going anyway. You've given me a lot to do. I'll quickly find out where Apostle Lien is."
There's no rush. We'll be in Cheonghae anyway. We can move when the time is right.
"Oh, and give my regards to Hwi. And take care of Sohye too."
Yang So-hye. Now that I think about it, I feel like I just left it to her and didn't pay enough attention.
As Ma Cheon-so nodded, Chun-gae waved his hand and went outside.
Phew. Left alone, I sighed again.
My head is a mess.
I thought we could meet if we just put our minds to it.
When the road becomes blocked, it feels like a rock is placed inside you.
"Where are you……"
Only bitter monologues remained.
