“Then take a look.”
“Don’t forget.”
The middle-aged man stood up and looked down at the court with cold eyes. However, rather than getting angry, the court simply smiled.
“I will watch how you respond. If your actions do not match your skillful tongue, all the privileges granted to you thus far will be revoked. No!”
The middle-aged man rebuked him in a voice that was extremely stern.
“You will pay dearly for the treatment you have received so far. Do you understand what I mean, Ambassador?”
“Of course.”
Although the court answered seriously, the middle-aged man looked not so pleased.
“Do not forget that the Emperor is angry.”
“… … .”
“I hope that old age doesn’t come to you. A useless martial artist is worse than a thug.”
“… … Amitabha.”
The middle-aged man who had been glaring at the judge with a displeased look turned around as he stood up from his seat and closed his eyes.
thud!
The door slammed shut. Only then did a deep sigh escape the courtroom.
Squeak.
After a while, the door opened carefully again and the Dharma world came in with a stern face.
“Room manager.”
“Come and sit down.”
“yes.”
The law opened its mouth as soon as it sat down.
“What do you say?”
“That’s obvious. The palace is taking this situation seriously and is demanding that we eliminate the cult group immediately.”
“… … .”
“If we fail to do so, they will hold us responsible.”
“that…….”
As the legal community sighed in amazement, the courtroom snickered. It was a mockery that was somehow unbecoming of a Buddhist.
“The palace is always like this.”
In principle, the country should not tolerate groups of people who are sects. However, in reality, no specific sanctions were imposed on sects such as Shaolin or shamans.
Because of the principle of inviolability of official duties?
No way.
Externally, they say that the government and the martial arts world do not intervene with each other, but that is impossible. That is just an excuse made up by the government to not intervene in martial arts.
The fundamental reason is that the existence of the Gangho Murim is helpful to them.
When a country is established, it seems that the breath of the imperial palace will reach every part of its territory, but in reality, it is not so. If such a thing were really possible, how would rebellions occur and how would warlords exist?
Moreover, the influence of the current imperial palace is extremely limited south of the Yangtze River and is not perfect north of the Yangtze River. In particular, in terms of security, the government alone has its limitations.
So, from the government’s perspective, the existence of Kangho is not such a bad thing. At least, those who claim to be loyal maintain a certain level of security in the areas where their sect exists.
but…….
“At times like this, I sometimes envy that Sapaeryeon.”
“Hey, boss. What is that… … .”
“Isn’t that so?”
The courtroom laughed lightly.
“The ones who created this situation were the Sapaenyeon, and the ones who actually did this were the Demonic Cult, and yet they’re threatening us, who are innocent, with the responsibility?”
The legal community hesitated for a moment at the court’s words and then sighed.
The relationship between the government and the martial arts world is always like this. When there is no problem, they treat you like a lawless thug, and when a problem arises, they hold you responsible for everything.
But it is not Sapa. In the first place, Sapa does not have a stronghold as clearly as the Jeongpa. They are like poisonous mushrooms that bloom in places where the light of the coffin does not reach.
The vast Yangtze River, where the navy cannot control everything. The deep mountains that are difficult for humans to reach. And the Gangnam area where there is an administrative vacuum.
In all these places, the Sapa has grown in power, unlike the Zheng faction, which is located close to Beijing and cannot escape the influence of the Guan.
“If it’s urgent, wouldn’t it be possible to send the royal guard directly?”
“They say the movement in the north is unusual.”
“ah…….”
“So it seems that the situation is not one where we can move the Imperial Guard. On the contrary, it seems that even the Imperial Guards around Beijing are being supplemented to the north. In the meantime, we can’t pay attention to the other side of the Yangtze River.”
The legal community nodded as if they understood the situation.
They say that all troubles come at once, and it seems that the circumstances just happened to coincide with this.
“So that’s why you put a stop to it.”
“I guess so.”
The court smiled bitterly. But the legal community still seemed unconvinced.
“If you were going to be so sensitive to Kang-ho’s situation, shouldn’t you have helped when Sa-pae-ryeon first started? If you had, the situation wouldn’t have gotten to this point.”
“The Sapaeryeon and the Demonic Cult seen from the palace are completely different.”
“… … .”
“No matter how great the Sapaeyeon are, they are people who operate within the laws of martial arts. Even if Jang Il-so were to unite martial arts, would he dare aim for the throne?”
The court that asked the question shook its head.
“No matter how ambitious Jang Il-so is, such a thing is impossible. It’s different from the world of martial arts, where power alone can dominate. Ruling a country is not something that people like us can do.”
“Yes, sir.”
“But what about the Demonic Cult?”
The court sighed with a stern face.

“The case is different for the Demonic Cult. They do not distinguish between the common people and the Emperor. Neither the laws of the Saga nor the policies of the Imperial Palace work. The Imperial Palace must have already experienced this fact painfully a hundred years ago.”
“Well… … .”
Unlike the Gangho who treat past events as past events, the Imperial Palace records all events thoroughly. The records of the rise of the Demonic Cult a hundred years ago will also remain vivid.
“That’s why you’re reacting so strongly.”
The legal community nodded as if they now understood the situation.
“What are you going to do about it?”
“Even so, not yet.”
The court shook its head.
“If we are pushed across the river by them, we will have to bear the full brunt of the damage. Do you think they will care about the damage we have suffered?”
“But if you disobey the palace orders, things could get worse.”
The court smiled broadly.
“Don’t worry. The author must have made a mistake because he was in a hurry.”
“Did you say it was a mistake?”
“Didn’t you say that all the royal troops were being sent north? Even if we disobey their orders just a little, they won’t be able to do anything to us for a while.”
“ah…….”
“If you just resolve it quickly, there will be no need to keep asking questions about the current situation, so there is no need to rush and be swayed unnecessarily.”
The law nodded silently. But there was something faintly bothering him inside.
Regardless of whether it is possible or not, if the palace is sending such an urgent request, shouldn’t it be my duty as a citizen to comply with its wishes?
But I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud.
“How are things going?”
“They still seem to be staying in Hangzhou. They will probably start moving elsewhere soon.”
The mind of the law-abiding world that answered was truly heavy.
It is a welcome development that the Demonic Cult’s movements are slower than expected, but conversely, this means that they are thoroughly destroying the city of Hangzhou.
When I thought about how many people had fallen victim to their clutches, I couldn’t sleep at night, and when I ate, it felt like I was chewing sand.
“Even the Sapaeyeon must be having a hard time thinking about it.”
A small smile appeared on the corner of the court’s mouth. The smile that appeared in the court in this situation seemed very unfamiliar to the eyes of the legal community.
“Master. How is the support from other sects going?”
“I will probably hear from you soon.”
“Isn’t it too late! Of all places, this is the Demonic Cult! Why are you wasting your time like this?”
“Isn’t there a distance? Even if we prepare and send rescue right now, it can’t be helped that it will take time.”
The face of the law gradually hardened.
Isn’t the court’s response so different from when I asked for support because of the Saphaeryeon incident a while ago?
‘By any chance… … .’
The law world quickly erased the wild imagination that came to mind. This was not something he dared to think about.
The court smiled faintly as it looked at him.
“You have a lot on your mind.”
“No, sir. I just… … .”
“The legal world.”
“Yes, sir.”
“It’s blissful not to know.”
“… … .”
“But sometimes there are facts that cannot be ignored. The duty of those who understand first is to inform those who are ignoring what should not be ignored of the harsh reality.”
The legal community, unable to understand the court’s words, remained silent. The court continued its explanation.
“The reason why Shaolin’s status is not what it used to be is very simple. People no longer need Shaolin.”
“… … Headmaster?”
“When you have a powerful enemy, you need followers. But when you have no enemies, you start thinking of your own gain.”
The voices in the courtroom were calm and composed.
“Soon, all the people of the world will understand. Who has been protecting the peace of this world and the spirit of the righteous faction? When that time comes, they will know why Shaolin is called Shaolin.”
“Ha, but, Manager… … . If that happens… … .”
“It’s something that needs to be taken care of.”
The court silently chanted the injunction.
“The role of those guarding the walls that are in contact with the enemy is not to stop the enemy. It is to risk their lives to report the enemy’s invasion. This is to prevent greater damage.”
“that…….”
The court spoke firmly.
“How can that sacrifice not be noble? It is the same. Sometimes, there are things that must be endured in order to prevent greater damage.”
The legal world bowed its head.
“Why do you say this to me?”
“Because it’s something you need to know.”
The eyes of the court looking at him were cold.
“Taking responsibility is sometimes harsh. It’s because you can’t do it with just a straight mind. Even if others don’t know, you must understand this fact.”
Instead of answering, the law clenched its lips. Today, the court seemed like someone he didn’t know. It looked so different.
“The Imperial Palace will eventually have no choice but to depend on us. Not just the Imperial Palace. The old faction, even that Sapa faction. And… … .”
The eyes of the court shone coldly.
But at that moment, the mouth of the Dharma world opened.
“One, Master. Didn’t you say that the palace remembers the history of a hundred years ago?”
“… … Is that a problem?”
“If… … they truly felt the danger of the Demonic Cult, wouldn’t they seek out Hwasan instead of Shaolin?”
The faces of the court hardened in an instant.
“What the… … .”
The world of law, feeling his wrath, bowed its head.
“Are the volcanoes of today the same as the volcanoes of the past?”
“I’m sorry, sir.”
“this…….”
The court, whose lips were tightly shut, suppressed its anger and opened its mouth. Its voice became slightly agitated.
“What is Cheon Woo-myeong doing now?”
“There is no particular movement.”
“That’s right… … That’s right. They can’t help it. Their agreement is something they shout only after they’ve finally calculated that it’s safe.”
A cold cynicism appeared at the corner of the court’s mouth.
But at that moment, the law of the land that had been observing opened its mouth quietly.
“But that… … .”
“but?”
“… … It’s not a confirmed story, but there’s a story that about ten people, including the Hwasan Sword Association, crossed the river last night. The facts haven’t been confirmed yet, but… … .”
bang!
The world of law, which had been talking nonsense, suddenly looked startled and raised its head.
The table that had been placed in front of the courtroom was shattered into pieces and scattered all over the place.
“Hey, boss.”
“Who did you say it was?”
“That, that… … .”
“Who did you say you were!”
“Volcanic Sword Association. This is the Volcanic Sword Association. Including him, there are about ten people… … .”
“Check again. Now!”
“… … .”
“What are you doing standing there? Can’t you hear what I’m saying?”
“Yes, yes! Master! I will check it right now!”
The legal community was startled and quickly ran out.
The court, which was glaring at his back with menacing eyes, bit its lips until they bled.
‘Volcanic Sword.’
The court also knows that this is an overreaction. What can a dozen or so people do in this situation?
But… … The moment I heard the four letters ‘Hwasan Sword Association’, an indescribable sense of anxiety surged.
“… … You crossed the river?”
A cold air flowed from the eyes of the court.
The fallen prayer beads lay scattered on the cold floor, cooling down.
