Episode 71 – The Emperor’s Proposal (1)

The heavenly net that spreads throughout the entire Murim Alliance.

And so this terrible and huge murderous aura rushes towards me.

‘······It’s the golden throne.’

I could tell right away.

Of course, it could have been a hasty judgment. So, the people rushing in now might not be the Golden Guard.

However, as you reach the realm of transformation, your senses become more sharp.

The momentum felt by each and every one of them was unusual. Each and every one of them was almost at the peak of their power, and this momentum was not limited to a few, but to dozens.

This can only be explained by the phrase “brocade guard” in the world.

To be exact, our rewarder, Ju Gwan-cheon.

There was no other way than Jukwancheon.

There was no one in the whole world who could do this except Ju Gwan Cheon.

It seemed as though the events of this Yongbongjihoe had reached the royal family.

Of course, the Yongbongjihoe was a competition that the royal family was interested in, but it was only at the level of ‘interest’.

But the leader of the Demonic Cult, Akjihak.

It seemed that since he was involved, it could not simply be dismissed as a matter of martial arts.

······It was a mistake.

I had to think about it.

I had to keep in mind that this bounty hunter might try to kill me.

But it was already too late, and of course I could never receive the reward. I shouldn’t have received it. What good could I do with a reward when I was in a situation where I needed a lot of merit?

Even this time, the level of reward seemed quite extraordinary.

It was the main character who suddenly spread out his net of heaven and earth. He didn’t even give me a chance to escape.

The last time I ran away from your sight, you learned a lesson and even Jukwancheon ‘grew’.

And I couldn’t figure out how many rewards they had prepared······ why they suddenly started unfolding the net of heaven and earth.

‘I have to run away.’

So I had to run away.

Of course, it was almost impossible to escape the net of heaven and earth.

Even if he reached the realm of Hwagyeong (化境), he could not escape the net of the world spread by the Jinuiwi. How could someone like Deng Gwanghyeok, the leader of the martial arts world and one of the ten best masters in the world, be able to do it?

but.

‘It’s worth a try.’

It was worth a try.

If it had been only ten days ago, I would have probably been caught without a fight. But now, it was worth a try.

This iron monster’s body method.

I learned the secret technique of Lee Cheol-Gwae, which no one can match even in the celestial world.

It was a net of hell spread by the monsters called Geumuiwi, ​​but it seemed like it could be done somehow.

While I was thinking about it, the warriors of the Golden Guard came within a stone’s throw. Even at this moment, they were still rapidly approaching.

‘Let’s run away.’

I threw my body into the air as if I was being scattered.

* * *

The Chilryongsambonghoe (七龍三鳳會) is a gathering of the reviewers of the Gupaebang.

But now it was no longer the Chilryongsambonghoe, but the ‘Yukryongsambonghoe’, because none other than the shaman’s later index, Yang Jong-cheon, had withdrawn.

Yang Jong-cheon refused to bow down to Cheong-un and left Chilryongsambonghoe.

I tried to persuade him to reconsider since we had feelings for each other before. However, Yang Jong-cheon ended up leaving Chilryongsambonghoe.

It was a pity······but that doesn’t mean there was anyone who followed Yang Jong-cheon.

So, those who became the Six Dragons and Three Peaks Society hurriedly moved their bodies to go and visit Cheongun when they heard the news that he had awakened.

However, I didn’t go there right away. I was delayed because I was thinking of a gift that Cheongwoon would like, and then I was delayed again because I was thinking of a good excuse to meet Cheongwoon, which was to ‘visit him in the hospital.’

In this way, the Six Dragons and Three Bongs each packed their gifts and headed to the Uiwang Hall of the Murim Alliance where Cheongun was.

As he was the later index of the Gupailbang, he had free access to the Murim Alliance, but not to the extent of the Uiwangdang where Cheongun was.

“I will go and check with the Grand Master.”

The warrior belonging to the Murim Alliance who had been guarding Uiwangdang disappeared, and since there was nothing to do while waiting, the Six Dragons and Three Bongs talked for a while about what they had prepared.

The first was the later index of Kunlun, Jonalin.

Jonarin opened the small box slightly and showed the small beads inside.

“I prepared the Cheongsongsindan (Green Pine God Elixir).”

Then the other reviewers looked very surprised.

That is understandable, as Cheongsongshindan (靑松神丹) is a medicinal elixir made by melting the emotional energy of Kunlun Mountain, and is the representative elixir of Kunlun.

Jonathan was confident that there was no better gift than this that he had managed to obtain from Jang Moon-in with great difficulty.

With that, Jonalin’s face became proud.

And then, thinking that I could immediately capture Cheongwoon’s heart, my heart started pounding nervously again.

“Young lady and I had similar thoughts.”

Just then, the volcano’s aftereffects were heard, and Maemulyeong’s words.

“I have prepared the Purple Cloud God’s Elixir.”

Jonarin’s blue eyes widened.

Jahashindan (紫霞神丹) was a medicinal elixir made by melting the emotional energy of a volcano, and was a representative elixir of a volcano.

It was a gift that was in no way inferior to the Cheongsongsindan (靑松神丹) prepared by Jonarin.

And it wasn’t just Maemulyeong.

“I heard that the sword that the Great Swordsman Hwalong cherished was broken, so I prepared the West Summer Sword.”

“I also heard the same news, so I prepared the Seven Pure Swords…”

“Haha, everyone had similar thoughts. I also prepared the Mokgang Sword.”

In turn, they were Gongdong’s Seongunyeop, Jeomchang’s Hwamugyeol, and Jongnam’s Song Gwigwang.

Everyone prepared gifts that could be considered treasures of each sect.

Furthermore, Shaolin, Ami, Gaebong, and Haenam were all preparing treasures of each school, so that they could all be combined.

However, no matter how high the ‘review index’ of the old file room was, the treasures of the sect were not easy to obtain.

It is even more impossible to give it to someone other than oneself or one’s disciples.

So the sect didn’t know that it was a gift to Cheongun. They had obtained it under the pretense of using it for themselves.

So, it was an ‘apology’ to Cheongun for being presumptuous, a ‘request’ to teach him even a little, and at the same time, a ‘repayment’ for the kindness he received from Cheongun.

The Six Dragons and Three Bongs held the gifts in both hands and waited for Cheongun’s answer.

however······.

“It seems to take a little time···.”

“Is that so?”

“Are you still feeling unwell?”

Cheongun’s reply was delayed. The man who had said he would check with Cheongun had not returned for some reason.

Could it be that they have issued an evacuation order?

Are they not even allowing me to visit them in the hospital?

It was at that time that the faces of the Six Dragons and Three Peaks were covered in darkness.

“······uh?”

Beyond the gaze of Jonarin, who happened to turn his head.

I saw a man slowly moving his body out.

He was keeping his presence as low as an assassin could possibly be, a masterful art of stealth that would have been completely unrecognizable if my gaze had not been drawn in that direction.

He was ‘running away’ somewhere, making no sound.

Then suddenly his eyes met with Jonalin’s, and Jonalin was able to recognize his identity right away as soon as she looked straight into his face.

Cheongun.

“big-!”

It was at that moment that Jonarin was about to shout with a blush on her face.

Suddenly, Cheongun’s new form disappeared from sight, and then a firm hand covered Jonarin’s mouth.

Before Jonarin’s eyes, which had opened wide like lanterns, a blue cloud had suddenly appeared.

But······I didn’t see it even for a single moment.

Even though we were quite far away, I couldn’t perceive even for a single moment the moment Cheongun approached.

‘Uh, how······?’

Jonarin couldn’t understand anything. It would be more accurate to say that he didn’t even have the presence of mind to understand. It seemed that he was quite anxious, because Cheongwoon hugged Jonarin tightly and covered his mouth.

“I’m sorry all of a sudden, my lady.”

And so, the voice of Cheongun is heard as if whispering in my ear.

The voice was so sweet that Jonarin’s face immediately turned red and he couldn’t think of anything.

“uh······?”

“Huh?”

The faces of the later index members who had belatedly figured out the situation rose to their minds. They too had not been able to detect even a single movement or sign of Cheongwoon.

“fizzle!”

Suddenly, Cheongwoon put his index finger to his lips and silenced them. Everyone was immediately overwhelmed by Cheongwoon’s spirit and shut their mouths tightly.

“I’ll explain later, but if anyone comes looking for me, could you please tell them you never saw me?”

···Nod. Nod.

“If you understand, please nod your head.”

Jonarin considered not answering and just staying in that embrace. However, he felt like it would be embarrassing for Cheongwoon, so he ended up nodding slightly.

Cheongwoon’s hand that had been covering Jonarin’s mouth slowly moved away.

It was at that moment that Jonarin slowly raised his head with a feeling of regret.

“······uh?”

Cheongun’s figure had disappeared without a trace. Just a moment ago, he had been within breathtaking distance, but in that instant, Cheongun had disappeared.

Even if a ghost were to sing a song, it would be impossible for him to sing a song like this.

“More than before···.”

“You say you’ve grown more?”

Now, Cheongun’s level and realm were completely invisible.

······But now that I think about it, it seems like Cheongwoon’s level and realm were not visible before either.

It was just then.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard and the main gate of Uiwangdang opened roughly.

I had that thought for a moment.

Suddenly, a large number of unmanned personnel poured in through the roughly opened main gate of Uiwangdang. A large number of unmanned personnel also poured in through the windows.

The unmanned forces came rushing in from all directions and surrounded the entire royal palace in an instant.

“······!”

“······!”

All of the Six Dragons and Three Peaks looked with their eyes wide open.

Not only did the incident occur without any time to respond, but the dozens of unmanned people who were now surrounding Uiwangdang… the clothes they were wearing… were not ordinary.

A martial arts uniform with a ‘yellow dragon’ embroidered on gold silk.

There was only one person in the world who could wear such clothes.

“That, the Golden Guard···!!!”

Brocade Guards.

The royal family’s special forces, the so-called ‘Emperor’s Guard’, were now surrounding the entire royal palace.

And a man walks confidently across the center.

Glossy skin and luxurious clothing.

Anyone who sees it can tell that I am a high-ranking official! A dignified appearance.

I don’t know who it was, but I could tell right away that this high-ranking official was no ordinary high-ranking official. Furthermore, seeing that the brocade guards had stepped forward, I could see that this high-ranking official was in line with the emperor’s will.

That may be why the Six Dragons and Three Bongs had become stiff, but the high-ranking official ignored them and glanced around the entire Uiwangdang.

Then, all of a sudden, his expression turned sour and he frowned.

“I knew this would happen, so I spread my nets in advance······.”

He suddenly looked at the Six Dragons and Three Peaks and said.

“Where did Cheongun run away to?”

Everyone in the Six Dragons and Three Peaks Society had a questioning look on their faces. It was understandable, why were they suddenly looking for Cheongwoon?

What do you mean by ‘run away’?

“If you do not tell the truth, you will all be punished for treason!!”

Suddenly, the faces of all of the Six Dragons and Three Peaks turned pale. Their wide-open eyes began to express shock.

treason······?

Could it be that Cheongun committed a crime of treason?

No matter how loyal the clan is, if they are caught in a rebellion, they will not be able to avoid the punishment of destruction. Therefore, it was right to tell everything that they knew immediately.

But none of the Six Dragons and Three Peaks opened their mouths.

It wasn’t just because Cheongun had asked him not to reveal his whereabouts.

“Me, us too···.”

“I couldn’t see where it went······.”

If you know where it went, you can tell the truth or not.

I saw Cheongun run away ‘somewhere’. But I didn’t see ‘where’ he went.

I couldn’t see or perceive even for a single moment.

“These guys! Do you really think they’ll come to their senses if you punish them as accomplices to treason?”

But it seemed that the high-ranking official thought that the Six Dragons and Three Phoenixes were hiding Cheongun.

The warriors in the golden armor approached slowly, exuding a chilling aura.

“I really do!!”

“Please believe me!”

“We really don’t know!”

······It was truly an unfair Six-Dragon Three-Bong Society.

* * *

The ‘body method’ learned from Lee Cheol-goe, the founder of openness, was truly a ‘divine method’.

Of course, if my judgment and actions had been just a little bit later, I would have been caught.

However, it is no exaggeration to call it a ‘divine law’ that he broke away from the Cheonrajimang, the Cheonrajimang spread by none other than ‘Geumuiwi’, which is called the world’s best law.

Anyway, I managed to escape from Cheonrajimang. And I planned to run away to Gangseo Province.

‘I have to teach the kids in the old file room, but…’

There was nothing I could do right now.

The old file room review index could have taught them at any time. But if they were caught by Ju Gwan-cheon now, that would be the end, the end.

You have to live first to plan for the future.

I carefully left the royal palace, using the body techniques I had learned from Lee Cheol-goe.

-I know everything that’s here! If you don’t come out right now, you will be punished severely for treason against His Majesty!!

Then, a loud shout from Ju Gwan-cheon was heard.

But that doesn’t work anymore.

Just as Ju Gwan-cheon grew, I also grew. If it is not noticeable, then later on you can make excuses that you did not know.

I covered my ears and left the royal palace.

-Do you really intend to disobey His Majesty’s orders? Do you think you’ll be able to leave this place alive?!

Still, Ju Gwan-cheon’s voice pierced my ears and came through clearly.

It was to the point where I wondered how someone who had never even studied martial arts could shout something like that.

······But wait a minute.

Was there something strange about what you heard?

If it were an ordinary Ju Gwan Cheon, he would have shouted, ‘Come out quickly, so that I can receive His Majesty the Emperor’s reward!’ But now he was saying, ‘Are you really not going to follow His Majesty’s orders!’

Rewards and honors.

When I think about it······it wasn’t that different.

I tried to shake off the thoughts and started moving again.

And that was when it happened.

-Are you really planning to make His Majesty’s procession in vain?!!!

‘·········what?’

For a moment, I thought I had misheard. No, really. I really thought I had ‘misheard’. I thought that maybe Ju Gwan-cheon had ‘misheard’ the emperor’s reward.

That would be the case, the emperor’s procession… right?

That means.

-Bring His Majesty the Emperor here!!!!

Suddenly, a huge scream resonated throughout the entire Murim Alliance. My body and mind suddenly froze.

So what I saw were warriors in black silk robes.

Dongchang (Dongchang).

The Dongchang was the imperial secret service agency and the emperor’s personal guard, similar to the Jinguiwi.

The level of military power was not much different from that of the Jinuiwi, ​​with one difference being that its branch spread out much wider than that of the Jinuiwi, ​​and because of this, it also had higher power than the Jinuiwi.

In any case, they too were monsters that existed only for the emperor······.

I could see ‘one person’ standing in the center of the crowd of classmates.

A majesty that overwhelms the audience with just its presence.

I had never seen the face of the Emperor, that is, the dragon-like appearance of the Emperor, since I was born. But I knew at once that he was the Emperor.

A crown with long legs strung with beads hanging from the front and back.

A yellow dragon robe (黃龍抱) ornately decorated with yellow silk.

There is only one person in this world who can wear clothes like that.

There was only one true emperor, the Son of Heaven.

······It was real.

The emperor himself was actually marching.

The emperor entered the royal palace slowly. Then he looked around, found the frozen Yukryongsambonghoe, and spoke.

“Who among you is Cheongun?”

The faces and expressions of the Six Dragons and Three Phoenixes were nothing short of spectacular.

The face, so shocked that it seemed as if one were seeing a devil like no other in the world, and the body, frozen as a stone statue, was so motionless that one might have thought it was dead.

There was no way he could answer the emperor’s question.

Then, the mood of the classmates and the royal guard became unusual. Only then did they come to their senses and hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects to the emperor.

Following this, Ju Gwan-cheon stepped forward and answered on their behalf.

“Your Majesty, there is no one among them who is of good character.”

“Hmm? Then where is this guy named Cheongun?”

“It seems that I am not feeling well and am therefore taking a long time to act. I will be out soon, so please be generous and considerate.”

“Ah, you said you came back from the dead.”

The emperor nodded as if he understood the excuse that Ju Gwan-cheon gave.

I didn’t know whether to be grateful or what to do.

“Cheongun, you rascal!!! How long are you planning to make His Majesty wait!!!”

Ju Gwan-cheon shouted in great rage. Following that, the chilling aura of the Geumui-wi and Dong-chang that had been heading towards the Yukryongsambonghoe spread throughout the entire Uiwangdang.

······There was no way to escape.

If I wanted to run away, I could, but I couldn’t run away. Even if I tried, I couldn’t.

This was truly a no-brainer.

Seriously······ It was Jukwancheon who foresaw all the possibilities.

He was foreseeing every possible scenario, from killing me to rewarding me.

So, the best and the greatest number was set······.

“Hahahaha! Cheongun, you punk! Hide over there-! No, you’re finally coming out!”

I had no choice but to reveal myself as if I were a great sinner.
