Chapter 49 – Invasion of the Demonic Cult (02)

Magic Church.

It has the name of Jeokilcheonmajeilseunggyo (寂日天魔第一昇敎), and since they themselves call it a devil religion without hesitation anyway, it is generally called a devil religion.

In the past, as the Sun, Moon, Blood and Heavenly Mara God Religion, they used evil magic that came from the West and corrupted ordinary martial artists with it, absorbing internal energy mixed with a lot of impurities and becoming stronger faster than the martial arts of ordinary righteous schools. Instead, they were people with no future, who had a hard time becoming a master and who had no choice but to run wild as time went by.

However, no matter how much radish is revered, it is divided into a faction that increases strength by sacrificing humans, pulling out hearts, and squeezing people’s blood until they die in the dictionary definition of the word, and a faction that simply practices martial arts without distinction, leading to civil war. As a result, it was divided into the Jeokilcheonma Jeilseunggyo, that is, the Demonic Cult and the Hyeolwolmara Cult.

And it is normal for the name of Blood Moon Mara Church to feel somewhat familiar.

The Black Moon Party, which created the Black Moon Blood Moon Mara Heart Ball, was their new name.

In the end, they created an organization called the Black Moon Party based on the doctrine of blood religion, a martial art created using techniques that corrupt the original pure energy and take away reason, and if you dig into their roots, you will find that they are blood religion.

‘Rather than the political faction, the demonic cult and the blood cult are enemies, killing each other and killing each other.’

Is it like fighting a close relative rather than a distant enemy?

Of course, it may be because they are worse than others, just like the roots, and unable to kill each other, so it’s a frustrating situation.

Because this was truly an emergency, we ran to the stable that had cooperated with the Murim League and rode a horse until the middle, then abandoned the horse and ran over the mountain using Gyeongsinjutsu, then got a horse from the next village and moved as far as we could, and when we reached the mountain, we ran. Running towards Gyeongshinsul.

“Wooow!”

Jeonryong… No, Cheongsang, a disciple of the Kunlun Sect who was no longer a Five Dragon, was lying face down on the street retching, and even though he deliberately bought and ate a simple Byeokgokdan for breakfast, he was vomiting gastric juices.

“Huh… Huh… Huh… Gasp…!”

‘I’d like to let you rest here if possible, but…’

When the nausea was over, I had to run until my stomach turned again.

No matter what kind of famous horse you ride, you will not be able to keep up with the master’s skill of running on your own two feet when crossing a mountain instead of a road.

No matter how much a top expert he was, he could not maintain his speed for a longer period of time than a horse. However, he could overcome rough terrain that a horse could not reach and run the shortest distance. As a result, the only way to get there faster than a horse was to run with great skill. There was none.

‘Instead, it is difficult for me to die…’

The Kunlun Sect was a sect that was like a breakwater that protected the Central Plains from the Demon Cult.

Thanks to this, while other Gu factions gave a significant amount of donations to the Murim Alliance or sent their disciples to work for the Murim Alliance, the Kunlun Sect instead accepted donations and sent warriors to lodgings near Kunlun Mountain to use them as reserve forces. Sometimes it happens.

It is located at the forefront of the anti-Makyo front line and is in such an important position that even the Murim Alliance provides support.

‘Have other reinforcements arrived at Kunlun Sect?’

No matter how large the Kunlun faction is among the nine factions, no single faction can stop the invasion of the Demonic Cult.

The Murim Alliance immediately summoned warriors belonging to the surrounding political factions and even invited the masters of the neutral or four factions, saying that they would compete among the Central Plains rather than against the demonic cults attacking from outside, so the demonic cults had no choice but to break their invasion ambitions in the vicinity of the Kunlun faction.

Furthermore, from the Demonic Cult’s point of view, there is no way to rule over the entire population of the Central Plains by annihilating and breaking through the Kunlun faction, and since they do not increase their power by sacrificing civilians like they did when they were influenced by the Blood Cult in the past, the Demon Cult and the Blood Cult After separation, there were not many active invasions of the central plains.

The followers of the Demonic Cult and the disciples of the Kunlun Sect sometimes got into fights and there were cases where someone died, but they just pretended to do it to each other and let it go. A full-scale invasion?

“Fuuu……”

Is it because the Murim Alliance and the Demonic Cult each have strength left?

They need to join forces just before they are destroyed, but as I blocked the Four Heavenly Blood Demons with minimal damage, made two executives of the Black Moon Party withdraw from the Jade Face Heavenly Sword, and killed Mo Zisheng, did the number of people to attack the Demonic Cult decrease?

So, because the Murim Alliance and the Demonic Cult were conserving each other’s power, an invasion by the Demonic Cult occurred that would not have occurred in the original work due to lack of power?

‘Damn it! Now I have no idea what’s going on!’

“Student, let’s go now!”

Cheongsang, who had vomited out everything he had inside, stood next to me with sweat pouring down his face. I knew that he had reached his limit, but I couldn’t stop by making a weak noise.

I vomited a few times in between and took a short break when Cheongsang fainted, so I was able to arrive at the village at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, where the Kunlun Sect was located, much faster than I expected.

Pusssssuk!

Of course, it appeared along a mountain path, not a road.

“Ugh, who the hell are you!”

The warrior dispatched by the Murim Alliance, who was guarding the surroundings in preparation for an invasion by the Demonic Cult, spotted us and tried to pull out his spear, but Cheongsang stepped in front of me and took out a tangled nameplate from his arms.

“Woo…Go, don’t attack! The Kunlun Sect’s…Guuuk…!”

Cheongsang could not stand it and was vomiting again. After being forced to march for several days without proper rest, his body could not withstand it.

‘If he were an ordinary person and not a peak expert, his heart would have burst and he would have died’

Bukbuk.

I was not able to wash properly for several days, so I had a dark beard, and Seol-ah was covered in dust and looked like a dirty wild cat instead of a pure white millennial snow leopard.

No matter how far one has reached the pinnacle of excellence, one is bound to become haggard after riding a mountain path for more than ten days.

Even Seol-a, a mountain-dwelling animal, has turned into a scraggly animal and looks just like a wild cat.

“Hmm… Let’s see…”

The man who looked at the plaque dropped by Cheongsang did not live until he confirmed that we were not enemies.

“I really am. How can people be this scum… Are they disciples of openness?”

Ha. Now that I think about it, I’m sure Sikbong will laugh at me a lot if he sees me like this. As a top disciple of Gaejeong, she was dressed up neatly except when we first met, but Cheongsang and I arrived in this messed-up manner.

“Ugh… Aren’t we late?”

Looking at Cheongsang who was nauseous, the warrior handed him the leather water bottle he was carrying.

“First of all, quench your thirst. Did you take a wrong turn? Judging by their behavior and the time they arrived, they seem to have been in the same Cheonghae area, so why did they run in such a hurry?”

They would be shocked to hear that we departed from Yakgok near Hubei, but they wouldn’t believe us anyway, so we just left them to be mistaken.

“The nameplate of the Kunlun sect? Are you sure? I don’t know what to say, but the Demonic Cultists should also steal the nameplate of the Kunlun disciples and check it properly… No!”

“Wow…”

“Cheongsang-ah! When did you come back? Why is she such a waste?”

Disciples of the Kunlun Sect who found Cheongsang nauseous hurriedly helped him up and took him to the main sect. Since I was not a member of the Kunlun Sect, I guided him to the lodgings where the warriors summoned nearby lived until Cheongsang came to his senses and called me. Received.

“Once you arrive, you can rest. The Demonic Cult’s forces have not arrived yet.”

‘Are we in too much of a hurry?’

I ran like crazy after receiving Jeon Seo-gu, but it arrived earlier than expected.

It is better than arriving in a situation where the Kunlun faction is on fire due to the invasion of the Demonic Cult.

I wanted to wash first before going into the dorm, so I asked people and headed to the well.

“Gyorororon……”

I first put Seol-A, who was stuck around my neck, in clean water, and there he shivered and shook off the dust on his body.

When I saw Seol-ah, who looked clean just by getting into the water, as if she had a dust-proof coating, I heated the water with my inner body and washed myself in warm water, but I was only covered in dust and cobwebs from the forest, and my skin was covered in sticky residue from the wastes flowing out. It wasn’t like that, so I was able to keep my body clean with just a little bit of moisture.

‘The transformed body is really convenient.’

There was no need to spend the whole day washing and cleaning, so all I had to do was ask others to change my clothes and have a lucky breakfast to replenish my lost energy.

“Kyoung!”

Seol-ah, now clean, came up between my knees, making a refreshing cry. Thanks to that, I began to have a good luck breakfast, absorbing the clean cold air overflowing from Seol-ah’s body.

“……Phew.”

With Seol-ah’s help, I left about 20% of the danjeon empty and filled the rest, but in fact, the danjeon was like a stomach.

Just as a person’s body breaks down when he overeats to the point where there is no empty space in his stomach, if Danjeon is filled with more internal power than necessary, the blood vessels are damaged and problems with internal power operation arise.

Unless it is an emergency, leaving a certain amount of free space is helpful for internal power management.

“Your body is perfect. Should I just wait now…?”

While waiting for the demonic forces to arrive, it was time to slowly understand the terrain near Kunlun Mountain and head to the downtown area of the village to buy food for Seol-ah.

Except for the Kunlun faction, there were no special facilities, and even the Kunlun faction was a Taoist sect and had a negative stance on luxury and consumption, so there were no special items to be seen compared to the size.

‘Not much to see… Huh?’

“Purr purr……”

Seol-ah, who was quietly hanging around my neck with her tail, began to emit a warning cry from her neck.

While stroking the back of Seol-ah, who was on guard with a small sound that only I could hear, I thought about the beings that the thousand-year snow leopard would raise its teeth and guard against, one by one.

‘Marasimgong’

The Black Moon Party guys are really diligent.

“And the fact that they are this excited doesn’t mean that one or two assassins have been dispatched. It means that there are executives or a number of Black Moon Party bastards running amok.”

As Seol-ah naturally turns her body in the direction she continues to glare at, Seol-ah’s whining sound becomes louder.

If you carelessly leave your seat in a situation like the one right before war, you will be treated like a spy by the Demonic Cult.

‘If you don’t get caught, that’s it’

He quickly left the lodgings before the other Murim Alliance warriors noticed.
