Part 23 Verification

“Where are those demonic cult bastards…?!”

“Here…! There is a hero who will destroy the Demonic Cult again…!”

From cramped, shabby accommodations to the streets.

A huge number of warriors were voluntarily pouring out into the pouring rain.

“under…!”

Taecheong Jinren, an elder of the Wudang sect and also known as the strange immortal of Wudang Mountain, burst into laughter.

“I was worried that the Archduke would suffer a major blow when something like this happened at the Yongbongjihoe (Dragon and Phoenix Association), but I feel like a fool.”

“That’s right.”

Next to him was the Supreme Elder of the Hwasan Sect, Sword Lord.

“Looking at this, rather-.”

The shaman’s Taecheongjinin accepted his words.

“-The saying ‘Turning a disaster into a blessing’ comes to mind.”

Many people visited Luoyang to see the Yongbong Branch.

Of course, most of them were people who had nothing to do with internal energy.

At the same time, Luoyang is currently…

It may have been the city with the highest density of warriors in all of Central China.

“And besides… .”

The shaman’s Taecheongjinin lifted the hat he was wearing to block the rain and looked to one side.

“I didn’t know that children would be such a great help….”

If the role is that of young and nimble disciples roaming the streets of Luoyang and bringing out those who are scared and stuck in their quarters.

“Just point towards where the signal firecrackers explode…!”

“Luoyang, the Central Plains, needs the help of heroes…!”

The role of the numerous young disciples who came to Luoyang to participate in the Yongbongjihoe (Dragon and Phoenix Society) was to stimulate the sense of chivalry and desire for honor among the warriors who poured into the streets.

“Even the slums need the support of heroes…!”

“Heroes of the Central Kingdom…! Please stand up against injustice…!”

This is an earnest appeal from cute and bright children wearing pretty raincoats of volcanoes and shamans.

“Leave it to us…!”

“You demonic bastards, come out…!”

With just a few words and a heartfelt appeal, you can mobilize countless supporters in real time.

Those young drones now.

Perhaps, he was exerting greater power than anyone else in this place.

“And look over there. It’s Taecheongjin.”

“under…!”

Another burst of laughter escaped Taecheongjinin’s mouth as he looked in the direction pointed by the Hwasanpa’s swordsman.

“Tell the heroes…!”

Through the window of what appeared to be a nice two-story tavern at the intersection, a warrior from the Luoyang Swordsmanship School was shouting out his inner strength.

“We, the Luoyang Swordsmanship Family, promise to give a great reward to the heroes who have performed the best today…! This is the promise of Grand Duke Yeon So-Hyeon, the chairman of the Luoyang Swordsmanship Family Council…!”

A reward from the best family in the world.

He even said that it was a promise from the Grand Duke Yeon So-hyeon.

“Uhhhhhh…!”

“Let’s go…! Everyone, follow me…!”

It was deadly effective in blinding the eyes of the unmanned.

“… Really, it was the Luoyang Swordsmen who were doing the remaining business.”

“This is the effect of sending just one warrior per street… .”

The volcano’s swordsman and the shaman’s Taecheongjinin shrugged their shoulders at the same time.

“It’s terrifyingly efficient-.”

“-That’s exactly what the Archduke is like.”

They looked at the streets of Luoyang where lights were gradually starting to come on here and there even as heavy rain poured down.

Despite the pouring rain and the ominous atmosphere that filled the streets.

“Waaa …

The heat that pierced through all of that was hotter than any other Yongbongjihoe match.

“… As if. Doesn’t it feel like the real festival has finally begun, Taecheongjinin?”

“It’s amazing that a situation that could have been remembered as the worst Yongbongjihoe has been turned around like this….”

The swordsman of the volcano and the shaman of the Taecheongjin also stuck out their tongues.

“Down with the demonic cult…!”

“Down with the demonic cult…!”

and.

The cries of those young warriors, their enthusiasm, had something that set the hearts of the highest-ranking old warriors in the Central Plains on fire.

“… This is not the time for us either.”

As the Hwasanpa Sword Master fiddled with his heavy sword, the shaman Taecheongjinin responded by already drawing his sword.

“No matter how much the Yangtze River pushes the water in front, can’t we already lose to those little guys?”

however.

“Are you the swordsman of the volcano and the shaman’s Taecheongjinin…?”

They could not help but stop at the sight of a woman surrounded by heavily armed guards as if ready to go to war.

“I am the swordsman of the volcano.”

“It’s Taecheongjinin. What’s going on?”

No matter how many troops there were, these two people did not flinch.

Moreover, I did not sense any hostility from them.

“I finally found it.”

The woman stepped forward and pulled back the head of her raincoat that had been covering her face.

Her blindfold was the first thing revealed by the oil lamps of her escort troops.

It was a blindfold embroidered with a crescent moon pattern.

“I am Se-ah, the head of the Hyunwolgak (弦月閣), an intelligence organization directly serving my lord Yeon So-hyeon.”

Sea, the owner of the Hyeonwol Pavilion.

They both knew something about her beforehand.

“It’s Hyeonwolgak… .”

“Hehehe, I thought that with all of the information bases of the Luoyang Sword Family being attacked simultaneously, all contact with the Archduke would be cut off.”

“Don’t you know his personality?”

Se-ah Hyun-wol said with a sly smile and shrugged her shoulders.

“Our Hyeonwolgak is the Archduke’s personal emergency contact network in case of an emergency.”

It’s better to be prepared than to be in danger.

Yeon So-hyeon had even prepared to operate Hyunwolgak as a personal emergency communication network in case of an emergency.

“Ha… , they said he was the Swordless Emperor.”

Even without a sword, he can do whatever he wants.

“I don’t know who came up with that name, but isn’t it incredibly accurate?”

Leaving Taecheongjin behind, who was laughing as if he couldn’t believe it, Hwasan’s swordsman asked Hyeonwolgakju Se-ah.

“Hyeonwolgakju. What part would you like the two of us to take charge of, His Highness?”

Even Taecheongjinin, who was joking, looked at her with a serious expression.

that.

At their attitude, Se-ah Hyeonwol’s eyes widened slightly.

“… You are more cooperative than I expected.”

Even though they were completely defeated by Yeon So-hyeon in the North, weren’t they two enemies?

“That Archduke is more than worthy of it.”

“furthermore….”

At the words of the Hwasanpa Swordsman, the shaman Taecheongjinin smiled with a mischievous expression.

“Not only will you make us the new Jangmunin (掌門人), but you will also restore the glory of the shaman and the volcano. If necessary, we will lick the soles of their feet.”

“…okay.”

Se-ah Hyeon-wol, who had put aside her concerns about them, opened her mouth and relayed Yeon-seo-hyeon’s demands.

“My lord, I wish you two to stay here and do nothing.”

“… … ?!”

“… … ?!”

Something, did I mishear because of the sound of the heavy rain?

Although many of the unmanned people who came to Luoyang because of the Yongbong branch are being kicked out onto the streets.

Isn’t it still uncertain how deep the power of the Demonic Cult that has penetrated deep into this huge city is?

“What do you mean…?”

“You’re telling us not to do anything…?”

Of course, Se-ah Hyun-wol said to the two people who did not understand Yeon-seon-hyeon’s instructions.

“Currently, we suspect that there is a person among the enemies who possesses the power of clairvoyance.”

“Thousand-year vision…, you say?”

Although more explanation was needed, Sea nodded and quickly got to the point.

“And your lord, I would like to check the limits of that clairvoyance now.”

“Thousand-year-old’s…?”

“margin…?”

* * *

“Master of the house…!”

The figures of the Jegal family screamed at the influx of information.

“A huge number of drones are pouring out into the streets of Luoyang…!”

“Even prominent figures are taking to the streets due to the instigation of the Volcano faction and the Shaman faction…!”

They were loyalists of the few remaining patriarchs, Zhuge Nanjun (諸葛藍?).

But now, they were nothing more than beings that were eating away at the concentration and mental strength of Gaju Jegal Namgun.

“My lord…!”

“My lord, please come up with a plan…!”

A pain that feels like your head is burning white.

“shut up…!”

Kwaaaaang…!

As Gaju Jegal Nam-gun’s emotions grew intense, the ‘resurrected one’ screamed and slammed the wall.

“Shut up…! I saw it all, so shut up…!”

His screams, which sounded like dozens of voices overlapping, were also eerie.

“Kururur…!”

Everyone was shocked to death by the sight of their comrades flowing down the wall with their heads blown off by the resurrected one’s fist.

“… … .”

“… … .”

And they keep their mouths shut.

The smell of blood and sulfur filled my nostrils, almost numbing them.

The sight of the ‘offered’ sacrifices filling the floor made me realize once again that this was not a nightmare.

“What the heck, why on earth…?”

And in the middle of it all.

Their leader, soaked in the blood of the sacrificial offerings, was muttering while holding his head.

“Why are you looking at me…?”

As he grabbed my hair with both hands, my scalp was torn and blood flowed out.

“Why can’t I see anything? Why aren’t their main characters doing anything…?!”

* * *

“This is the first.”

Yeon So-hyeon raised one finger.

“This is my experiment and hypothesis to test the limits of the enemy’s clairvoyance.”

“Are you talking about excluding key figures from the scene…?”

Yeon So-hyeon nodded in response to the question from the head of the household, Hak-un-hyeong.

“exactly.”

“How can we exclude the main characters-, ah…!”

As if he had realized something, Wonju Hakunhyung stroked his chin and recalled his memories.

“…the first attack from the underground aqueduct.”

“I see.”

As the head of the external affairs office, Hakunhyeong, spoke of the first attack, the head of the internal affairs office also nodded.

“Although they performed a miraculous feat of avoiding all of the security nets of the sect of fairyland that the enemy had prepared together, they were eventually blocked at each entrance.”

“Yes, it was. It was.”

Oewonju Hakunhyung slowly but surely approached the answer.

“It wasn’t a single master who stopped the enemy, but a large number of ordinary people. And that was-!”

The Chief of Staff of the National Intelligence Service took the remark.

“It was a future that Clairvoyant either failed to see properly or missed. It was a failure.”

“That’s right. As expected from two people, they are very precise.”

Yeon So-hyeon smiled.

“And so, based on that incident, I first came up with a hypothesis.”

Feeling everyone’s eyes on her, Yeon So-hyeon put her hypothesis into words.

“Maybe. His clairvoyance is not reading all the possibilities that could unfold in the future, but rather seeing the present in one glance.”

“What do you mean…?”

“He may be able to see everything, but he can’t see everything ‘at once’. That’s what I said before-”

“-The failure of the underground waterway supports this.”

“exactly.”

Yeon So-hyeon nodded and asked.

“So how does he find and confirm what he needs right now among all of those things?”

The answer came from both the external director, Hakunhyung, and the internal director.

“… It would be quickest to confirm the key figures on our side.”

“It acts like a buoy or lighthouse on the sea.”

As soon as they finished speaking, everyone in the household looked at Yeon So-hyeon with bewildered expressions.

“Well, just to the extent. As I said from the beginning, this is the first hypothesis and an experiment… .”

Yeon So-hyeon snickered.

“Well, I guess it’s been proven to some extent, seeing as how slow the response is to a large number of drones spreading out in all directions in unpredictable forms without proper control.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Silence fell throughout the house.

“But that cult obviously won’t end here. No, it won’t. Surely, it hasn’t even begun yet, right?”

Only Yeon So-hyeon’s soft laughter echoed throughout the wide space.

“Okay, okay. What’s next?”

From the pure, creepy anticipation mixed with that laughter.

“Show me everything.”

Everyone could clearly feel a small part of the great madness that Yeon So-hyeon possessed.
