Thanks to the rampage of the Demonic Cult, the work in the North Sea was finished very quickly.
Originally, I thought that he would make excuses or manipulate himself here and there to waste time at the Ice Palace, but as soon as he got here, things started happening one after another, so things got taken care of very quickly here.
Of course, there were things that could have taken time in the process, but they were minor and were quickly resolved with Cheonhwa’s ability.
Thanks to this, Cheonhwa was able to obtain the Asura statue she wanted with great ease, and was also able to receive active assistance from Bukhae Ice Palace, one of the four external palaces.
Not only did they receive the best treatment, but they also acquired a large quantity of ice crystals and ice jade that could be sold in the Central Plains for a huge sum of money, and they also acquired a large quantity of ice palace elixirs that were equally expensive, though not very useful.
In the case of elixirs, since they contain ice crystals and ice jade powder, they have extremely negative properties and seem to be of little use in the Central Plains, where there are not many people who master ice magic or similar things, but the reality is different.
Since there are many people who pursue the Qigong of the extreme yang, the elixir that is very popular as a neutralizer and assistant when they take the elixir of the extreme yang is an elixir full of yin energy.
Because of this, Cheonhwa even took advantage of this relationship and situation to open a trade window.
Since they had already acquired the Black Panther fleet, they decided to proceed with trade between the North Sea and the Central Plains.
There were many rare items here that could not be found in the Central Plains, and on the other hand, food was in dire shortage, so if a trading window to exchange them were to open, it would be a piece of cake to make a big profit.
As with the Namman Wild Beast Palace, it will naturally proceed exclusively.
Of course, the location of the top of the black panther was too far for that, but that wasn’t a problem.
All we have to do is create a branch of the Black Panthers on the western side of the island.
There would be many small things to do in the process, but if you go through Haomun, it would be quick.
Whether it’s taking over another existing top or starting a new one with new people.
Thanks to that, Cheonhwa was busy for a while, and in the meantime, Bukgungyeon had a touching reunion with her mother.
We spent the whole night talking, crying, and laughing in the dormitory, so much so that it was hard to even look at Cheonhwa.
That’s why Cheonhwa thought about leaving her behind and returning to the Central Plains alone.
Knowing that old stories and emotions won’t be resolved in just a few days, I thought that moving separately would be one way.
“No. I will go with you. My mother will be here now, so I can visit her whenever I want. So right now, I want to help Gaga.”
However, Bukgungyeon rejected the idea.
I enjoy sharing deep stories with my mother, but I know that I can’t do that forever.
Also, now that your mother won’t disappear like before and neither of your lives will be in danger, you can come visit her again after finishing your work.
Since it came out like that, even Cheonhwa didn’t bother to stop it.
I was already thinking that it was time to move back to the central plains, and now that Bukgungyeon’s military power is among the best among the Three Kings and Five Kings, it will be helpful in many ways.
“Oh, by the way, is there a curly old man with a goatee here? He’s known for his slyness and his terrible personality.”
Cheonhwa, who had just roughly finished preparing to leave, suddenly remembered something and asked the previous Ice Palace Master.
Hamurin was a criminal until recently, so she thought the previous princess would know better than her.
According to the information we found out from Sacheondangga, the master had disappeared towards the grassland and the North Sea.
I don’t know what his intention was, but if he really visited the North Sea, there’s no way he wouldn’t know about the Ice Palace.
It is impossible for that inspirational personality not to have caused friction with the Ice Palace warriors.
“If you mean the one with the goatee… … I think you mean him. Yes. I met him. He stayed here for a while and then left.”
“Huh? That damn… … No, when was that?”
“It seems like it’s been a few months already. He stayed here for about a month and then left, saying he was looking for something.”
Then, surprisingly, she said that she had seen the master.
Not only did he see it, he stayed there for a month and then left.
“You’ve been here for a month? Is this place okay? Did you build a new castle or something in the meantime? … No, no. So where did you go? What are you looking for?”
I wondered how this place could have been intact, but that wasn’t the point.
I wondered where the master was headed and what he was looking for.
“I don’t know the details. I think there was some friction when you first came here, but you haven’t caused any major problems since. We’ve been very attentive to make sure that doesn’t happen again… … We don’t know what you’re looking for, because you didn’t ask us or make any demands on us. I don’t think it was an object in particular. I don’t know where you went, but based on the direction and what you said, it might be towards the chief.”
“Chief? It can’t be an object? Hmm… …!”
She answered sincerely, but there was still no magical answer.
One thing is certain, the Master is looking for something, and he cannot tell whether it is an object, a place, or something else entirely.
Maybe you don’t even know it.
Otherwise, there would be no reason to suddenly stop by the North Sea and then move to the West Sea.
‘It’s not like I’m looking for a place to sleep.’
The letter he left behind when he left clearly said that he was going on a journey to Uhwadengseon, so it was highly likely that it was related to that, but it was difficult for Cheonhwa to immediately judge.
Anyway, it seemed like it would be difficult to follow the master.
Even if he had shown up somewhere in the Central Plains, he could have somehow been caught in the information networks of Dangga, Haomen, and Gaebong and pursued them, but I really thought that we might never see each other again.
‘If that’s the case, then that’s really fortunate.’
Previously, I had been daunted by the thought of recreating the treasures of the Samun, but now I had all but one in my hands.
In a better form than the new things he had seen and played.
So maybe it would have been better not to meet.
If he met that petty old man again, he didn’t know what excuses and threats he would come up with to extort money from him.
‘I’ll show my face for the last time.’
But on the other hand, it is true that I feel a little bit sad.
Although I only have memories of suffering under my master, it is true that he is like a father to me, who took me in and raised me as an orphan.
“Okay. See you later then! What… … someday?”
Cheonhwa, who had obtained everything he could from the North Sea, loaded his luggage on Mu-o’s back and started his journey to the Central Plains again.
“All hands! Towards the benefactor of the North Sea. Draw your swords!”
Oh my!
Behind the departing Cheonhwa party, countless North Sea warriors rushed out and raised their swords high.
He expressed his gratitude to the benefactor who returned the eternal iceberg, which can be said to be the source of the ice palace in the North Sea.
“Kkuu!”
Even the truly evil Mannyeon Geumgu raised his short arms and stood next to Hamurin.
It was revealed that he was the culprit who stole the Eternal Ice Crystal, but as expected, he was not punished as he had been the guardian deity of the North Sea for many years.
Instead, he made a promise to never steal the Eternal Ice Crystal again, and he decided to stay in the holy land for a while like a guardian deity to protect the Eternal Ice Crystal, in order to recover his body and shell that were injured while flying to save Cheonhwa.
“Gaga. Maybe I should stop by Master on my way back… … .”
Although Cheonhwa and his party had quickly left the North Sea, it was still too early to reach the Central Plains.
In order to keep the promise made on the way here, I visited Seolsanpa with Bukgungyeon, and spent a few more days talking and discussing the group as requested by Geomhu.
It was mainly a time when Bukgungyeon would nag her master, Geomhu, about things that happened in Bukhae.
‘Well, this much should be fine. The Demonic Cult has sent that much power to the North Sea, so there should be time.’
Thanks to that, he lost some of the time he had saved, but Cheonhwa wasn’t that impatient.
Because the Demonic Cult appeared in the North Sea.
It wasn’t just a random attempt to explore or steal the Asura statue, but an attempt was made to send three of the best masters of the Hwagyeong to wipe out the Ice Palace itself.
It is not difficult for one master of Hwagyeong to take down a major sect.
The fact that three of those masters were being consumed at the same time meant that the activities of the Demonic Cult were bound to be greatly hindered.
It is unknown how much power the Demonic Cult has accumulated over the years, but if they have three masters of the Hwagyeong, it would be an incredible force even for them.
It was clear that it would be difficult to plan anything big without them, and even if they succeeded, it was a long way to the North Sea, so it was clear that they would be doing small things in the background in the meantime.
They must be even more nervous and intimidated because they have lost contact with those who should be delivering news of success.
So maybe the Ice Palace will be targeted again and they will be in danger, but there will be not enough time to send new masters.
There may not have been enough power to send.
That’s why Cheonhwa spent her time at Seolsanpa in peace.
After giving Bukgungyeon three days to think about and organize some ideas to start back in the Central Plains, he passed through the grasslands again and entered the Central Plains.
“As expected, Master is amazing!”
As a side note, during those three days, I observed the changes in Bukgungyeon and discussed the group with Cheonhwa and the eunuchs, and Geomhu’s martial arts also progressed.
Although the sword was already in the early stages of ripening, it has now reached a firm state of ripeness.
It was fate, it was talent.
During the process, Cheonhwa learned for the first time that the eunuch’s name was Cai Lun, but it was a trivial matter.
It didn’t even take half an hour for him to hear that before he started calling me by a different name.
“Huh? Why is the atmosphere like this?”
That’s how I arrived back in Jungwon.
Fortunately, there were no attacks or frictions on the grassland this time, so Cheonhwa sensed something strange in the air at the border of Shaanxi, where he arrived without much trouble.
He had a rough idea of the atmosphere there before, as it was a rough place when he left for the meadows, but the people who had been busy and moving around lively in preparation for winter had completely changed.
“Master. Is something wrong here? People don’t look so happy.”
Since he was planning to take a rest here, Cheonhwa unpacked his luggage at the inn and asked the innkeeper a question. He received a slightly embarrassing answer.
“It looks like you’ve been out and about and are coming back. The atmosphere in the Central Plains has been like this lately. It’s because the Demonic Cult has invaded. With the demons running wild all over the Central Plains, everyone is hiding. You never know where a strange demon might pop out and wreak havoc. Because of this, we’re going to die. Since there’s no one to roam around, business isn’t going well… … .”
The rise of the Demonic Cult.
Something that I thought would naturally be postponed happened.
It seemed that the three or so masters of the flower market that had been sent to the North Sea were enough, and they came to the forefront declaring the return of Kwon To-Jeong.
Because of this, several villages and sects near Cheonghae and Sipmandaesan, known to have a demonic cult, were devastated, and the Jeongcheon Alliance and Heukdo Alliance were put on emergency alert.
While declaring war against the Demonic Cult by gathering the power of each alliance, they were also focusing their efforts on eradicating the demons that were popping up all over the Central Plains, just like the guest house said.
In the midst of all this, the Demonic Cult once again caused trouble.
“… … Kunlun? The Kunlun of the Nine-Tailed Faction, was destroyed?”
Kunlun School.
The place known as a sect of immortals based in Cheonghae, similar to the Demonic Cult, and a member of the Gupailbang, has fallen.
The disaster of annihilation left only a few survivors.
