Episode 1099. The entire Central Plains is a volcano? (4)
“Master… … .”
The law swallowed dry saliva and opened its mouth cautiously.
“It is not that I do not know what the Master is saying, but… … .”
The sharp gaze of the court pierced through the legal world.
The law of the universe felt the urge to close his mouth for a moment, bit his lips tightly, but soon opened his mouth again. You shouldn’t delay your advice because you’re afraid. If you do, everything will really go wrong.
“If the headmaster… … was really concerned about the situation, wouldn’t it have been right to have discussed it seriously when the volcano’s long text came? Blaming them after everything is over… … .”
“argument?”
A cold voice flowing from the mouth of the court interrupted the conversation in the legal world.
“Who should I discuss this with?”
“The volcano’s current state and… … .”
“Is that the scarecrow and the horse?”
The legal world closed its eyes tightly.
No matter what happens, you should never call the leader of another sect a puppet. It would be a great humiliation to even a small or medium-sized sect, so how much worse would it be to a sect the size of a volcano?
The court is also not unaware of this fact. As befitting the supreme position of the head of Shaolin, the court has been extremely careful with its words and actions.
But in recent times, the courts have become increasingly irrational when it comes to volcano-related matters.
‘no…….’
A strange light appeared in the eyes of the Dharma Realm.
Would the person he knew, the court, really use such expressions toward someone out of simple hostility? … … Really?
‘What am I thinking!’
The law world quickly erased the doubts that had arisen in his mind. It was something that was simply unimaginable. How could the head of Shaolin, Beopjeong, feel competitive with Hyeonjong, who was merely the head of Hwasan?
At that moment the court was struck down.
“Hyeonjong, what is the point of discussing with him? Are you saying this because you don’t know who is the one who makes the really important decisions in Hwasan?”
“……that…….”
“Hyeonjong may not know. If he is the only good person, he may not be able to guess what Hwasan’s going to Gangnam means and how that evil tyrant will use them. One!”
The court struck it down.
“That Volcanic Swordsman! Do you really think he headed to Gangnam because he couldn’t foresee this whole situation?”
The legal community shut its mouth like a clam. The courts laughed openly.
“That’s impossible. How could that author, who seems to have ten snakes in his stomach, not know about this plot? He knew it all along and still did it! Even though he knew it!”
Even the legal community could not find the courage to refute these words.
Considering the abilities of the Volcanic Swordsman he has witnessed so far, it would be stranger if he could not have predicted all of this.
“Those who talk endlessly about negotiation and the common people, unable to endure their short-lived sense of justice, have finally driven all the common people of Gangnam into hell! This is the chance to finally destroy that clique and liberate Gangnam! This is how they used that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
The courtroom’s face turned bright red. The image of the orphaned old monk who had been pursuing lawlessness just a moment ago was now nowhere to be found.
“They are wicked! They are wicked! I can see their intentions clearly! If I just endured a little bit of humiliation, if I just endured a little bit of criticism and waited, peace could be brought to the world! Is this how you ruin it? Is that the way of the volcano?”
It was a fury like frost.
“furthermore!”
The court’s hands, which were holding the hem of the lyric, trembled.
“Why did you have to collude with those Sapa guys to do something like this?”
“… … .”
“If Hwasan had not joined hands with Jang Il-so and done all this on his own, I would have been angry at them for being foolish, but I would not have doubted their sincerity! But! How am I supposed to accept the fact that those who claim to be loyal fought alongside the stooges of the Sapa? The spirits of those who died in Heukryongchae and Namgung who died in Maehwado are still wandering the nine heavens! Join hands with Sapae-ryeon?”
The court spoke as if spitting fire. The wrath was so intense that the body of the legal world trembled on its own.
But what followed was not an angry roar, but a hollow laugh.
“Huh… … . Heh heh heh… … .”
The court suddenly burst into laughter and shook its head.
“It’s hard… … It’s just hard.”
“… … Manager.”
“Those who don’t know anything will now praise the volcano. And they will also praise Jang Il-so. They will say that he protected the Central Plains against that terrible cult. And they will criticize us. Where the hell were we?”
The legal community was silent.
If we only look at the circumstances that have been revealed, it is not a wrong statement. Isn’t it true that Shaolin did nothing during the Hangzhou Rebellion?
No, to put it bluntly, the legal world was confused as to what role Shaolin had played in the recent series of incidents that shook the martial arts world.
Aren’t you always taking a step back and waiting for the situation to ripen, only to have your opponents stolen by Sapae-ryeon or Hwasan?
The law world opened its mouth in a serious tone.
“… … Master. I think… … considering the weight of the name ‘Demonic Cult,’ I think we shouldn’t have waited this long.”
The court silently looked at the legal world.
A voice that sounded like a lament leaked out from the mouth of the court that had been oppressing the legal community with such heavy silence for a long time.
“Do you think so too?”
“That’s not it… … .”
The courtroom was cut off by a low voice.
“That’s why I had to wait even longer.”
“… … Yes? That’s… … .”
“Don’t you know?”
The court said, glaring at the legal community.
“If the volcano was truly worried about the Demonic Cult, if it was alert to them, it should have joined hands with us instead of hastily rushing to Gangnam. No, to put it more bluntly, it should have bowed its head to us!”
“Well, Master… … The Cheonwoo Alliance is no longer a small alliance.”
“What does that mean?”
The court gritted its teeth.

“Who are those people in the Cheonwoo Alliance you mentioned?”
“that…….”
“The Sacheondang family, who were ostracized by the Jeongpa clan. The Namgung clan, who lost their power and had nowhere to go! And the Saewe clan, who were not even treated as people of the Central Plains, and the Hwasan clan, who were kicked out of the Gupailbang!”
“… … .”
“Is there really a sect that exerts great influence in the martial arts world?”
“… … That’s not true.”
“Everyone is only seeing the surface! Everyone!”
thud!
He hit the floor as if the court was frustrated.
“Did Jongnam bow his head to Hwasan because Hwasan defeated Jongnam?”
“… … .”
“Did the shaman give up her position to the volcano because the volcano defeated the shaman?”
“No, sir.”
“That is the limitation of the sect called Hwasan, and the limitation of the alliance called Cheonwoomaeng. No matter how active they are and how much they expand their presence, do you think the prestigious families of the proud Gupailbang would want to join Hwasan?”
The legal world could not bring itself to answer these words.
Can you imagine Shaolin bowing its head to the volcano and joining the Tianwu Alliance right now?
No, that can never happen.
Other old file rooms are probably thinking similarly. If they were open and didn’t care about face or pride, then maybe it would be different.
“… … It’s not that I am the head of Shaolin, so we should unite around Shaolin. Do you know why Shaolin becomes the center whenever there is chaos in the martial arts world?”
“that…….”
“They only step back when dealing with Shaolin! Needless to say, if Namgung Hwang were alive, would he have given up his position as the leader of the Five Great Clans and joined the Cheonwoo Alliance?”
“… … .”
“The Heavenly Warriors Alliance cannot unite the martial arts world. That is why the Heavenly Warriors Alliance gathers only those they can easily obtain in order to expand their power. Even though they know that such actions are causing a clear division in the Central Plains!”
The shoulders of the court trembled with anger.
“Do you understand what I mean?”
“… … Yes, Master.”
The legal world nods its head without realizing it.
There was nothing wrong with what the court said.
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t picture the Cheonwoo Alliance subjugating the prestigious Gubailbang clan, the existing powerhouse of the Central Plains. In the end, the stronger the Cheonwoo Alliance becomes, the more clearly Gangbuk will be divided into two forces: the Cheonwoo Alliance and the Gubailbang clan.
Moreover, aren’t those two forces already building up deep ill feelings toward each other?
Even without using Shaolin as an example, the relationship between Hwasan and Gupaebang was not good from the beginning. The problem that should have been resolved long ago was buried here, and the wound is now festering and rotting away.
“Do you think they don’t know that?”
“… … .”
“Will there really be a place for Gupa Il-bang in the Cheonwoo League they envision?”
“that…….”
“But how long must I show mercy to them? How long must I think of them as people I must embrace? Even the Buddha did not show mercy to Mara. So how long must I, who dare not reach that profound meaning, endure?”
There was a murderous look in the eyes of the court.
The first person to recognize the potential of the volcano and support them was the court. And the volcano lived up to his expectations beyond his expectations. That is why he sent Hye-yeon, who was naturally timid and weak, to them to learn their fighting spirit.
Although they sometimes acted in ways that I did not like, those who are capable should be allowed to indulge themselves to some degree. That is why I tried to deal with them by waiting rather than condemning them.
but…….
‘I can no longer sit idly by and watch their indulgence.’
If Buddhism had tried to solve everything with mercy, there would have been no such thing as the sword of precepts to punish those who break the precepts.
Rotten shoots must be cut off.
Otherwise, even the other healthy sprouts will rot. The rotten sprout called Volcano has already created numerous diseases. If the division continues like this, not only will the Demonic Cult collapse, but even the Sa-pae-ryeon will not be able to handle it right away.
“… … without even realizing that I was playing around.”
The court bit his lip hard. Eventually, blood began to flow out of his lips.
“I should have heard that then.”
“Master?”
“no.”
The court shook its head.
“If we let go like this, it will become uncontrollable. Call for an opening. We must investigate the part where Cheon Woo-maeng joined hands with Sa-pae-ryeon.”
“Is this the time?”
When Beop-gye asked in surprise, the court simply glared at him with cold eyes without saying a word. In the end, Beop-gye got up from his seat and bowed his head.
“I will do so.”
“Hurry up.”
“yes!”
The legal world rushed out.
The court, left alone, slowly turned its head and stared at the burning lamp. Even though there was not a single breath of wind in the room, the lamp kept shaking. It was as if his inner thoughts were being revealed.
“Volcano… … Volcano Sword Association Cheongmyeong.”
Thud.
The court, which had clenched its fist as if it was going to burst, let out a long breath. Then, as if trying to calm its mind, it reached out and lightly grabbed the moktak that had fallen to the floor.
Damn it.
At that moment, the wooden gong covered with his hands split open.
The court stared blankly at the broken gong. After a long time of not being able to take their eyes off him, a hollow laugh escaped from his mouth.
“Huh… … . Heh heh.”
The lamp flickered more violently.
“Heh heh heh heh heh. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh!”
In a room where no one approached, only the old monk’s feeble laughter leaked out endlessly.
