Episode 1420. why? Run away?

Late summer.

Ho Kwang-seong.

Hyeongsan-hyeon.

Around noon.

Twelve shamans came to Hyeongsanhyeon.

This is the Hyeonmudae dispatched by Hocheonmaeng to investigate the disappearance of Taoists and monks in Hyeongsan.

The middle-aged man in the lead, Flying Dragon Sword Feng Shuiun, looked back and said.

“It’s still too early for lunch, so we spread out and gather information. And after one visit (2 hours), we gather at Mirimgak in front. “If there are no questions, we disperse.”

Hyeonmuda is comprised of five groups, each group consisting of twelve players.

Among them, Jae-kyun was the leader of the group.

It has been almost eleven years since he left Seokgyeongjang and went to Gangho.

It was no wonder that his eyes and tone of voice exuded sophistication.

At the leader’s words, the group members broke into pairs and dispersed in all directions.

A young man in his late twenties approached Feng Jae-un.

“Captain. “It’s a hot day, so why not gather information while drinking a cup of iced tea?”

Feng Zhiyun smiled bitterly at Huang Sanyue’s words, even though his intentions were clearly visible.

However, my mind was soon moved by the word information gathering.

Dagwan is a place where people gather, so it was okay to investigate there.

“Look for a tea house.”

“Just leave it to me!”

Hwang Sanwol took the lead with a brisk step.

Feng Zhiyun chuckled and followed behind him.

Although Hwang Sanwol was an outlier, he was the strongest among his subordinates in terms of his martial arts skills.

As such, he considered himself his right-hand man, and despite his fun-loving nature, he was a trustworthy man.

Banyadagwan.

Huang Sanyue, who had quenched her thirst with iced tea, suddenly asked.

“Captain, do you know that?”

“You have to say it to know.”

Bae Jae-woon, who had been diligently looking at the guests at the tea house, answered half-heartedly.

“You say that about 43 years ago, a group of fanatics called the Yumyeong Church shook the world. At that time, some people who broke away from Yumyeong Bridge hid in Hogwangseong… … .”

“If you are talking about Myungwanggyo, it is Gwangmyeong Village in Yeosan County, not here.”

“uh? “Do you understand?”

“Have you forgotten where I’m from?”

“ah!”

An exclamation flowed from Hwang Sanwol’s mouth as he belatedly remembered Seok Kyung-jang.

“Do you also think that the Pluto Church is behind this disappearance?”

“Did you think so too, Captain?”

“I don’t really. “The Great Lord said that in case he didn’t know.”

“ah! The Great Lord has already thought about that. “Then shouldn’t he have increased the number of investigators?”

“We are the advance team. They told me to contact Agyang if I feel suspicious. “I will have Hyunmudae on standby in Agyang.”

The distance from Akyang County to Hyeongsan County is approximately 580 li (about 227 kilometers).

It can be reached in three or four days via the Sanggang River water route.

But Hwang Sanwol grumbled, probably thinking that was too far away.

“What kind of evil sheep would you be if I didn’t make you wait for the funeral?”

The business was located exactly halfway between Agyang and Hyeongsan, a day and a half away.

“I was wondering if there would be a military demonstration in Agyang.”

“You got into a fight with the Confederacy again?”

“I guess so.”

Feng Jae-un finished speaking and drank iced tea.

Perhaps because I am from Namjikrye Castle, I felt strange when I heard about the Confederation.

There are not many people from Namjikrye Castle in Hocheonmaeng.

This is because most of the warriors from Namjikrye Castle committed themselves to the Southern Alliance.

Huang Sanyue glanced at the leader’s complexion and asked.

“But why did you come to the Hocheon Alliance instead of going to the Southern Alliance?”

“Not everyone from Namjikrye Castle goes to the South.”

“But if you had gone to the Southern Alliance, you would have become a leader by now.”

It is no exaggeration to say that Seok Kyeong-jang’s position in the Southern Alliance is absolutely absolute.

If Feng Jae-un had been loyal to the Confederacy for eleven years, he would have been able to become a great lord.

However, the owner of Hocheonmaeng is Chilpaimun.

Because people from the Chilpai family were sharing positions, others had no choice but to slow down in their advancement.

Pyeong-woon just laughed and didn’t say anything.

Now that I think about it, Gong Cheon-baek, the Thunder God, Joo Moo-saeng, the Shingeom Seo-saeng, and Oknyeo-geom Yeo Hye-jin were all Daeju or similar positions.

However, since they joined the club three years earlier than he did, it was difficult to attribute it to the Chilpai family’s halo.

When Feng Shuyun’s reaction was not positive, Huang Sanyue continued speaking.

“Honestly, if you are inactive, aren’t you at the level of a great leader? The other leaders in Hyunmuda are all similar to me. “In a way, the leader is blocking my path.”

“so? “Are you asking for the position of leader?”

“That’s what it says. “I am happy to have a strong leader.”

At that time, two people came in, and when they saw Feng Shiyun and Huang Sanyue, they quickly went back.

They were members of the Hyunmudae team.

Huang Sanyue giggled and said.

“Uh-huh! Where. Go somewhere else. “The leader and I are investigating here.”

“Well said. Go ask the owner. “Have you heard any rumors about missing people?”

“Now? “Can’t we rest a little more?”

“It’s hot. Do you want to look through the market bins?”

“no. “I’ll be back soon.”

Hwang Sanwol got up from his seat and walked briskly to the cash register near the entrance.

He came back after a while and said:

“Isn’t this a joke? As far as I heard from the owner, there are about 15 of them. “If you combine the missing people from Namchang and Uichun, there will be over 30 people.”

“There are also those in Namchang and Uichun?”

Feng Shuiun’s face hardened.

If you go a little further northeast from Namchang and Uichun, you will reach Yeosan County, where Myeongwanggyo took root about 40 years ago.

“Yes, that’s right?”

“But why is only Mt. Hyeongsan known?”

“It’s probably because of the Hyeongsan faction.”

“Hmm.”

Jae-kyun was immediately convinced.

The Hyeongsan sect is one of the Taoist sects belonging to the Hocheon Meng.

The Taoist monks of the Hyeongsan Sect went missing and requested help from the Hocheon Alliance.

But soon I became annoyed.

“Even so, the Hyeongsan faction should have explained the inside story. “We only knew what happened at Hyeongsan Mountain.”

“Please request support from Agyang.”

“First of all, collecting information from team members comes first. “It’s not too late to ask for support later.”

Feng Shuiun refused.

I couldn’t ask for support just by listening to what the tea house owner said.

Whether it was an investigation or a request for support, it had to be done after compiling the information brought by the team members.

After a while, Feng Shiyun and Huang Sanyue left the tea house to conduct a full-scale investigation.

Mirimgak.

The members of Hyunmudae gathered together one by one.

Since it was a little past meal time, Feng Jae-woon ordered his meal first.

After a brief meal, a report was made by the team members on the spot.

The content was not much different from what the owner of the tea house said.

Huang Sanwol spoke to Feng Shuiun, who was wondering whether he should ask for support or not.

“Captain.”

“why?”

“First, go to the Hyeongsan faction and listen to what they have to say.”

“… … .”

“We must let the Hyeongsan faction know that our Hyunmudae has arrived so that Hocheonmaeng’s side will stand up.”

“oh! “Are you good at thinking like that?”

Feng Zhiyun looked at Huang Sanyue with new eyes.

Perhaps because he came from the Mugeuk clan, one of the Chilpai clan, he seemed to have excellent management skills for his age.

“It’s not just my head that works well.”

Huang Sanyue shrugged her shoulders as she spoke.

Jaekyoon smiled at the childlike appearance and stood up.

“I’m going to the Hyeongsan faction.”

***

Hyeongsan.

It was around dusk when the Hyeonmudae group that left Mirimgak arrived at the entrance of Hyeongsan Mountain.

Hwang Sanwol, who had been climbing the mountain for a while, came close to the leader and spoke in a whisper.

“Captain, this is a little strange.”

“know.”

Jae-kyun looked at the forest with sharp eyes.

It’s too quiet.

It feels as if the entire Hyeongsan Mountain is a cemetery.

There was no movement of mountain animals or even the common cries of mountain birds.

It’s so quiet that even the burning red sunset feels ominous.

As I climbed halfway up the mountain, I could see the mountain gate of Hyeongsanpa in the distance.

Feeling cold, Jae-kyun left his team members and ran away like the wind.

He stopped in front of the body of a Taoist monk from the Xingshan Sect under the mountain gate.

There are countless knife marks on its torso, as if it had been in a fierce battle.

A little distance away from the body was a hand tightly grasping the handle of a sword separated from the forearm.

Hwang Sanwol came running at some point and urgently called out to him.

“Captain!”

“Don’t make a fuss.”

“… … .”

Only then did Huang Sanyue keep her mouth shut and stand shoulder to shoulder with Fei Yun.

“Can you see it?”

“yes. “The Hyeongsan faction was attacked, right?”

“Don’t be absurd, just look at the body. The fact that there are so many knife marks on the body means that the level of martial arts of the attackers was not that great, right? I need to find out what happened to the Hyeongsan faction. “I tell everyone to be alert because we might encounter the enemy.”

“yes.”

Huang Sanyue quickly returned to the group without asking twice.

Soon after, the Hyunmudae group passed the Hyeongsanpa mountain gate and ran upward.

As I approached Hyeongsanpa, I heard the sound of blades clashing.

This means that the fight is not over yet.

At that moment, Fukun Woon put his strength into both feet and struck faster.

“Uuuuuu—!”

At the same time, a sense of place that shook the mountain came out of Feng Jae-un’s mouth.

It is generally known that the great lords of the Hocheon Alliance are stronger than the Chilpaimun Elders.

Feng Shuun is only a general, but Wu Wei is evaluated as a great master.

But if you listen to his sense of place now, you can see how harsh that evaluation is.

The faces of the members of Hyunmudae, including Hwang San-wol, turned bright colors.

Bae Jae-woon, who arrived at Hyeongsan Sect first, quickly surveyed the situation.

The place where the fight took place was in the front yard of Taechungjeon.

About a dozen Taoists from the Hyeongsan Sect formed a square to fight the attackers.

Looking at the fallen Taoists around me, it seemed like they were the last survivors.

The fight stopped for a moment due to the appearance of Feng Shuiun.

The elderly man who had been encouraging his subordinates from behind stepped forward.

“Who the hell are you? “If you are not a disciple of the Xingshan Sect, leave quietly.”

Fei Yun glanced at the elderly man and the group of men and women behind him.

There are about 50 people fighting directly with the disciples of the Hyeongsan Sect, and there are also about 10 people watching.

It was a hopeless situation considering that the onlookers were the leaders commanding the fifty or so people.

‘But leave quietly?’

Doesn’t that mean it doesn’t matter if the identity of the attackers is known?

Jae-kyun looked at the leadership.

But even after 11 years of being a strongman, I still had no idea who it was.

‘It won’t be the Confederacy. If the force was strong enough to annihilate the Hyeongsan faction, it would have been known… … .’

Their ages range from middle-aged to elderly, but there is no way to tell if they are all first-timers from Murim.

Everything from the facial features to the clothing and weapons are unfamiliar.

“I am the leader of the Hocheonmaeng Hyunmudae, the flying dragon sword Jae-kyun! “Who are you?”

By the time Bae Jae-un finished speaking, the members of the group who had joined took their seats to his left and right.

The elderly man frowned as the number of uninvited guests increased.

He didn’t look scared after hearing Ho Cheon-maeng’s name, but rather felt like it was bothering him.

The elderly man turned towards the leaders.

It seemed like he was asking what to do.

When Feng Shiyun was about to ask again, one of the Taoist monks of the Hengshan Sect who was under siege shouted.

“They are Pluto bastards! “They must have gone crazy, so much so that they even dared to invade the Xingshan Sect and try to capture the Taoist!”

At that moment, the leaders of the Pluto Church all rushed towards Baekjeun and Hyunmudae.

The satire is ‘Hmph!’ With a cynicism in his voice, he pulled out his sword and attacked Pyoyo Bridge.

In a fight, initial momentum is important.

He believed that with his best effort, he would never be overshadowed by the dozen or so leaders of Hyunmudae.

As soon as he encountered the leading enemy, Feng Jae-woon displayed his dragon martial arts skills from the beginning.

The idea is to quickly reduce the number of enemies and reduce the burden on subordinates.

But what is this?

Chachachang—!

Yongmucheon’s sword path was blocked by the red-faced man’s rough sword.

This is the first time since I left Seokgyeongjang that the nine world tax laws have been blocked from the beginning.

It is not due to the sophistication of the method.

The power of the man’s Tao was stronger than any martial arts master he had ever met.

I feel like I crossed swords with my father.

Surprised, Feng Jae-un hurriedly retreated back.

King Tianshan, one of the eight kings of the Pluto religion, and Yukjagang, the red-faced ear, followed him like a shadow and grinned.

“why? Run away?”
