Episode 119

At that time, Mu-gang was looking through the documents of the Bingbaek Ma-je.

Yeongsu was following Banseoho to the weapons depot.

Youngsoo thought.

‘I wonder if that human, Mugang, is reading the scroll I left behind by now?’

It was an accurate guess.

‘You wouldn’t even dream that it was a counterfeit. It wasn’t a counterfeit in the first place.’

The scroll that was written by controlling the mind of the Ice White Demon Emperor using the spell.

The content was made up by Yeongsu, but the author of the writing was none other than Bingbaek Maje himself.

The contents were counterfeit, but the actual item was genuine.

It didn’t stop there, Youngsoo also put documents that Bingbaek Maje had written in the past into that pocket.

This naturally leads to a comparison between them and this counterfeit.

‘If you compare it like that, you can’t help but think that it’s a counterfeit.’

Yeongsu had thoroughly arranged it so that Mu-gang had no choice but to believe what was written on the scroll.

And what Youngsoo wrote there is-

‘The location of the Blood Jade, and how to obtain it.’

Ogeomsan Mountain, located on the border between the realm of the Demonic Cult and the realm of the Martial Arts Alliance.

The old temple site on that mountain, Hoeryeongsa Temple Site.

The blood jade was sealed inside the stone pagoda at the temple site.

‘Now that you know that the Blood Jade is there, Mu-gang, you have no choice but to go there.’

And you can do it by mobilizing all the troops you can muster.

Because the war must be fought there.

And only then will the Blood Jade reveal itself to the world.

‘Now, even if I stay still, war is bound to break out.’

This lit the fuse.

A fire that will burn down the vast and ugly forest called Murim.

And I will take my share of the blood jade from the ashes that remain.

“They all came.”

Seoho and Yeongsu arrived in front of a small warehouse.

A warehouse with three locks.

Seoho unlocked the door with the keys he received from Mu-gang.

“Okay, let’s go in.”

This is Mugang’s personal armory.

All kinds of swords that Mu-gang had personally collected were displayed in a row.

These are swords that each boast considerable value.

“oh…….”

Come to think of it, I had seen a similar sight right after I came to the Central Plains world.

The room of the Haomenju deputy director.

There, too, all kinds of weapons were on display, just like here.

However, while I was able to take all the weapons I had there, I couldn’t do that here.

Now is the time to choose only one sword and go out.

Then there was no reason to worry.

Because the sword that Youngsoo wanted to choose was decided from the beginning.

Youngsoo continued walking into the warehouse.

“This also looks like an incredible sword… Huh? Are you just going to pass this up?”

No matter what Ban Seo-ho said next to him, Yeong-su continued walking in.

It was in the innermost corner of the black warehouse that Youngsoo was looking for.

An ordinary sword with a blade length of about 1 meter.

Unlike other swords, this one was just roughly propped up in a corner.

The other swords were displayed on wooden stands.

Yeongsu picked up the sword.

The overall appearance of the sword is rough and covered in dust.

As Seo-ho watched Young-soo pick it up, countless question marks crossed his eyes.

“So… would you choose that?”

“Why? Didn’t you say I could take just one?”

“That’s true, but… aren’t there other knives that are much better?”

“No, this is the best.”

Sling-

Youngsoo pulled out his sword.

The condition of the blade was even more spectacular.

It was rusty and had missing teeth, and was covered in some kind of black, unidentifiable sap.

Even that sap-like thing had completely hardened and was not falling off the blade.

Plus, there was an unknown ominous aura emanating from the entire sword.

As a sword, it was a strange object that went beyond 0 points and even dropped to a minus point.

When Ban Seo-ho saw that, he was terrified and said.

“No, no, no, are you really going to choose that?!”

“huh.”

“Don’t you know what a tremendous opportunity this is?!”

“That’s why I’m doing this.”

“Uh… Is that sword, that sword I don’t know about… a very famous sword?”

“It’s famous. It’s a sword that has been passed down as a family heirloom of the Mukjin family.”

“Oh, that assassin family?!”

The Mokjin family, a family of assassins that has now been wiped out and disappeared.

This sword was passed down from generation to generation in the Mukjin family.

During that long time, Mokjinga cut countless people with this sword, but never once did he wipe the blood off of it.

It was for a symbolic reason: ‘to feed blood to the sword.’

As a result, an object boasting such a trashy visual emerged.

The name of this sword is .

In any case, Youngsoo had chosen an object that was unsuitable as a weapon, even if it was not a symbol.

Because Youngsoo knew how to reveal the true value of this sword.

“let’s go.”

“Oh, I understand.”

The two who came out of the warehouse scattered in their own directions.

Yeongsu goes to the dormitory, and Seoho goes to the leader’s office.

* * *

And at that moment, in the leader’s office.

A hastily convened executive meeting was taking place there.

The expressions of the elders of the leadership became serious after hearing Mugang’s words.

“Ogeomsan… Are you really saying that the Demonic Cult will invade through there?”

“Yes.”

“Indeed, it is a key point of invasion. An open road is easy to spot, and a mountain that is too steep is difficult to climb, but Mt. Ogeom is right in the middle.”

All the elders in the leadership agreed with that statement.

“Then, to Ogeomsan… … .”

“Except for a small reserve force, deploy all of Meng’s forces to Ogeomsan.”

“but…….”

“I know that too. It is an extremely dangerous operation. However, if we fail to stop the advance of the Demonic Cult there, the Central Plains will fall completely into their hands.”

“… … .”

“If you only get one chance, you have to give it your all.”

“You are right.”

Moo-gang didn’t say anything about Hyeol-ok.

He also did not mention the source of the information that the Demonic Cult’s forces would pass through Ogeom Mountain.

But everyone there followed Mu-gang’s words without question.

Their trust in Mu-gang was that overwhelming.

These are all people who participated in the First Jeongma War with Mugang.

At that time, Mu-gang took full command and, with a strategy close to magic, inflicted fatal damage on the Demonic Cult and stopped its advance.

Since they had seen its grandeur firsthand, they followed Mu-gang’s instructions without question.

“Okay, now let’s start discussing the details.”

The contents that would determine the direction of this great war began to be secretly discussed around the table.

No one except those gathered here could hear the details of this operation.

This is because even the guards around the office building were all bitten, and the entire wall of the office was filled with soundproofing material.

but…….

Sasak-

There was no way to stop a bug from eavesdropping on all this.

A black, round bug about the size of a ladybug.

It was stuck to the ceiling and was listening to all the conversations that went on here.

“… Let’s conclude today’s meeting here.”

When the meeting was over and all the elders left the building.

The bugs also got mixed in and escaped.

The bug flew across the night sky toward its owner.

The bug soon settled on the tip of one man’s finger.

“You came.”

The man put a bug into his ear.

The bug that entered the man’s ear began to make sounds into his head.

All the secret conversations that took place between Moo-gang and the elders of the leadership.

The man listened to the whole thing calmly and without missing anything.

Insect cult technique.

A spell to control insects.

The man was in charge of using this magic to eavesdrop on all the intimate details of the Murim Alliance and report them to the Ilwol Palace.

Sun and Moon Palace.

That very palace where Cheonma resides.

This man was a spy sent by the Demonic Cult to infiltrate the Murim Alliance.

It was also this man who leaked information that the Murim Alliance was going to invade Bingbaek Palace right before the Bingbaek Palace subjugation battle.

“Concentrate your troops at Ogeomsan Hoeryongsaji, ra… … .”

The man did not readily understand this directive from Mu-gang.

‘The school has not yet come up with a plan to invade Maeng. Of course, they wouldn’t invade through Ogeom Mountain. But what kind of confidence does author Mu-gang have that he is concentrating all his troops on Ogeom Mountain?’

Wait, no way… … .

‘Is there something in Ogeomsan?’

Then, it was a problem that could be roughly explained.

but…….

‘What on earth is there at the Hoeryongsa Temple site in Ogeumsan?’

It’s something that the entire Murim Alliance must mobilize its forces for.

If that’s the case, then there must be something correspondingly great in Mt. Ogeum…

‘… Is it blood jade?’

The man knew.

The fact that Mu-gang has been searching for Hyeol-ok with a fire in his eyes since some time ago.

‘Is it really a blood jade…?’

But it felt like it was going too far to make such a leap in logic.

‘… No, let’s not judge. My role is only to report.’

The man summarized what he had overheard on a small note and sealed it in a cylinder.

After that, he took out a pigeon he had specially raised and attached it to a cylinder around his ankle.

“You will know where you are going.”

Foodduk-

The pigeon flew west with a message on its ankle.

Towards the Ilwolgung Palace.

‘So, what’s left to do now… … .’

At that moment, the face of Cheon Yeong-su appeared in the man’s mind.

‘… Yeah, there was that guy.’

The one who captured the Ice Palace and killed the Ice King.

A person whose origins, school of thought, and martial arts skills are unknown.

But that overwhelming skill was real.

‘If a war breaks out between the Meng and the main sect in the future, he will surely become a huge obstacle.’

Of course, from the Demonic Cult’s perspective, the biggest enemy was Mugang.

However, Moo-gang is a master who is difficult to touch right now.

‘… But if it’s someone like Cheon Yeong-su, I can handle it within my capabilities.’

There’s no need to kill him.

All we have to do is weaken them enough to prevent them from properly engaging in this war.

And the man had the means to do so.

Sararak-

The man opened the cap of a bottle of liquor and poured in a spoonful of powder.

The powder was a poison called Yeongdok.

A type of poison whose toxicity is revealed slowly over a long period of time.

It was a poison that was tailored to avoid suspicion if it took a long time for its toxicity to be revealed.

The effect of poison is to destroy the Danjeon.

It was a lethal poison that would not cause death, but would completely destroy the danjeon by the time the full toxicity was revealed.

The man went out carrying a tray containing poisoned liquor and a plate of beef jerky.

The place the man arrived was Cheongho Hall.

The man knocked on Youngsoo’s door.

Youngsoo’s voice was heard from inside.

“who is this?”

“I’m going, Banseoho.”

* * *

Moon.

Seoho said as he placed a drink on the table in Yeongsu’s room.

“This is the wine that Elder Han sent to congratulate you on your achievements.”

“Oh.”

“I hope you have a pleasant evening. I’ll take my leave now… … .”

After putting down his alcohol, Seoho quickly tried to leave the room.

at that time.

“Where are you going? Sit down.”

“yes?”

“What does it taste like if you drink alone? You have a drink too.”

“That, that liquor is absolutely the best! It’s too good for someone like me to drink… … .”

“People don’t choose alcohol, alcohol chooses people. Go get a glass from the cupboard and sit down.”

As he said that, Yeongsu opened the bottle of alcohol and savored its aroma.

Seoho was inwardly embarrassed, but soon calmly went and sat down at the table opposite Yeongsu.

‘It’s okay, I have the antidote to the poison anyway. Just drink a little and go back to detox right away.’

Thinking like that, Seo-ho accepted the drink that Young-soo was pouring.

‘If I drink it, you won’t be suspicious.’

Seoho drank all the alcohol from his glass.

Youngsoo said.

“Eat some jerky too.”

“Oh, yes.”

That moment when Seoho reached out his hand towards the plate of beef jerky.

Sigh.

Yeongsu picked up his chopsticks and hit the back of Seoho’s hand.

The chopsticks pierced the back of his hand and were instantly embedded in the table.

Seoho screamed.

“Kwaaak… … !”

“Did you think I wouldn’t know if you put poison in my alcohol?”

“… … !”

As Youngsu spoke, an eerie smile appeared on his lips.
