Cheonhwa’s expression after he got his hands on the piece of Asura statue that his father had entrusted to him was naturally not good.
It was also because I confirmed that someone had dug up my parents’ grave and abused the bodies inside, and this was the root of all the incidents.
But even if you resent them now, your dead parents won’t come back to life.
Cheonhwa steeled his resolve and went back down the mountain with an eerie look in his eyes and expression.
Immediately, I found a nearby Haomen branch.
“Find out. I don’t care how much it costs or how long it takes. You don’t even have to catch him. Just find out who did it, who was involved, and I’ll take care of it.”
It was already over a dozen years ago.
It was such a long time ago that it was strange for Cheonhwa to remember it so clearly, so there were probably more people who didn’t remember it, and those who did know were likely dead or had left the village.
“Okay, I’ll figure it out, no matter what.”
So, it would be difficult for even a decent intelligence organization to find out, but these were Haomen.
Those who gather information from the very bottom.
In that sense, they would be able to figure this out better than any other organization in the Central Plains.
Even if those who can be considered the masterminds of the incident use any means, such as threats, persuasion, or murder, to silence the mouths of those involved, they cannot stop the gossip of those who do not even treat them like human beings.
If you have a lot of money, you tend to spend it, if you are scared, you tend to become less active, and if you have support, you tend to be more active.
Each of those small changes in behavior would gradually become a big piece of information.
That’s why Haomen also showed himself.
Since Cheonhwa was already a very big customer and ally of Haomun, he had no choice but to show a firm will to find out.
“Branch Manager. Wait a minute… … .”
“What’s going on? Can’t you see that I’m with an important guest right now?”
“I’m sorry, but I thought you should know. It’s something that concerns you as well.”
“Tell me.”
So, when he had finished requesting that he gather all the information related to the incident that day, and also that he had finished requesting that he track down the people who had committed the heinous act of digging up his parents’ grave, Haomun-do hurriedly entered the room, checking the expressions of the branch manager and Cheonhwa.
I whispered to the branch manager with a slightly troubled expression.
Of course, Cheonhwa heard everything as if they were talking right next to her.
– All those who secretly followed the evil spirit Daehyeop committed suicide. I didn’t even try to subdue them separately, but as soon as I confirmed that this side had noticed… … .
“Ahem… … Grandmaster. There’s something you should know. Those who were secretly following and watching Grandmaster just now committed suicide. I don’t know why they didn’t try to escape or disguise themselves, but things have gotten a little awkward. But don’t worry. I’ll definitely find out their identities and whereabouts so I can track them down.”
There was news that those who had been secretly following him before he visited his parents’ grave committed suicide as soon as they were discovered.
They may have just been people following him and keeping an eye on him, but the circumstances, timing, and location were coincidental, so he put them there to follow him and keep track of them, but they all committed suicide before he could even step forward.
It wasn’t Haomen’s fault.
It was so strange that it was hard to understand why he chose to commit suicide when he was discovered by Haomun, who was not even a heavenly flower.
But Cheonhwa was neither disappointed nor embarrassed.
The fact that they responded so extremely means that it had something to do with this matter.
That means there is someone in the village who remembers what happened back then, or the people he sent.
He must have made that choice because he knew that he couldn’t commit suicide even if he wanted to, so it only turned his suspicion into certainty.
“Top. Check the top. There must be another real owner of the top that occupied my old house site.”
“Yes? Oh, yes! I’ll check it out right away. Go and get all the data! Give orders to your informants! The reconnaissance team will now thoroughly monitor the village and its surroundings!”
Therefore, Cheonhwa immediately requested the branch manager to investigate the situation.
Could it be that the upper floor, which was built on the site of his old home, was located by chance?
Normally, places where such a bloody disaster occurred are considered ominous and tend to remain in ruins for quite some time, and it would be normal for the upper class to be more sensitive to such things.
There were also survivors.
Even if no one had seen him, since his body had not been found, it would not take more than a few years of neglect to be properly recognized as an ownerless land.
But then the name changed quickly and the top came in?
It was bound to be a winner.
Coincidentally, the number of people following him increased right after he revealed that he was the one who lived in that manor a long time ago.
‘If you’re a top that handles a lot of stuff, it shouldn’t be a problem even if you search for something in a hurry.’
That’s why Cheonhwa guessed that there would be a real owner at the top.
I suspected that someone had intentionally erected the tower there, perhaps to find a piece of the Asura statue that might be hidden somewhere in the house.
If you’re a boss who handles and organizes a lot of stuff, it wouldn’t be strange at all if you searched through the manor every day and found something.
So, if we reveal the real owner, we can catch him.
I believed that if it was Haomen, he would definitely be able to do it.
“We’ll let you know as soon as we have something. We’ve reserved a place for you, so get some rest until then. If you’re thinking of leaving, just tell us your destination and direction and we’ll send you news as soon as we have something.”
“Let’s wait for now.”
Now that Haomen has moved, all that’s left to do is wait.
Something could come out of it in a short period of time, but since it happened a long time ago, it could take quite some time, but perhaps because her heart was in it, Cheonhwa didn’t really feel like resting.
However, I needed to organize my thoughts, so I stayed there and thought about various things.
‘The Demonic Cult has six, I have six, and the last one is on the Jeongcheonmaeng side.’
The whereabouts of all thirteen pieces of the Asura statue have been revealed.
It was funny that he had the same number of pieces as the Demonic Cult that desperately wanted to get them back, but he didn’t let his guard down because it was mostly luck.
However, I was worried about how to use it to entice the Demonic Cult and the Heavenly Demon.
I also became curious about the strength and actions of those who had already started extracting martial arts from pieces of other parts that I had not obtained.
The Asura Destruction Sword and the Asura Heavenly Calamity Water that seemed to have been obtained from the Asura Statue’s arm were certainly strong.
Because the secret of the wave was properly absorbed, even if it was not fully realized and spread out, it was a dangerous martial art that even the masters of Hwagyeong could have a hard time with if a proper master learned it.
Is that the end? They’ve collected six pieces in total?
And, if they were to create a complete Asura statue and learn the Asura Pacheonmu contained within it, what kind of power would they be able to unleash?
Honestly, I wanted to try it once.
I even thought about just handing the pieces of the Asura statue over to Cheonma and letting him learn it, and then having a go at it.
Of course, he wouldn’t actually do that, but at first glance and even if you inferred from some of the information, it certainly seemed like a peerless martial art that could compete with the Cheonum Shingong, so it was true that he was curious and had a competitive spirit.
“Chief, urgent news! We’re in big trouble!”
“What again… …! What is that? Bring it here quickly!”
As Cheonhwa was lost in thought and the branch manager was watching him closely, Haomen Do once again rushed into the room in a noisy manner.
Thanks to that, the branch manager, who was about to reprimand his subordinate as if he had been caught, noticed the letter with the Cheon-geup mark in his hand and quickly snatched it away.
Because the sign of a thousand levels means a huge event that will have an impact on the entire Central Plains.
Although the levels of Heaven, Earth, and Man are managed by dividing them, in reality, payments and grades only appear very occasionally, and most of the information is not even included in the grades, so the appearance of the Heavenly Grade Mark could not help but make everyone nervous.
“omg!”
As soon as he opened it and checked it, a gasp burst out from the branch manager’s mouth.
The shocking incident was briefly written in it.
“What’s going on? Oh, is it a secret?”
“That, that’s… … no. See for yourself.”
When Cheonhwa turned his head slightly to ask about his fuss, the branch manager, whose face had turned pale, handed the letter to Cheonhwa with trembling hands.
It was a piece of information of the highest level, but there was no sign of trying to hide it, perhaps because of the relationship with Cheonhwa, or because it was a big event that would be known anyway.
“……uh?”
And Cheonhwa, who checked the contents of the letter, had a blank expression for a moment.
Because the content contained within it was that shocking.
“The Sword King is dead? That old man?”
– The Sword King dies. The killer is Ilwolmado.
The Sword King is dead.
And to someone who isn’t a Cheonma.
The implications and implications of this were bound to be truly enormous.
The Three Kings and Five Emperors.
Those with that name are practically the pinnacle of the Central Plains martial arts world, and among them, the Sword King is a figure who is considered to be able to compete with the Three Emperors, who are the most powerful of the Five Kings.
A person like that was killed by someone who wasn’t even a Heavenly Horse, but an elder-level person?
Of course, it may have been an unreasonable and unfair fight where neither side was at their best, but even so, it was shocking.
For the masters who had reached the top of the world, the number of unmanned players below the peak level was of no concern.
That’s why excuses like “I lost strength in advance” don’t work.
The Sword King was defeated by the Sun and Moon Demon King.
This meant that other kings and demons who were considered weaker than him would also have a hard time standing up to the Sun and Moon Demon, and even if there were a few more masters like him in the Demonic Cult, even those belonging to the Three Emperors could be killed.
To this man, who is not even a celestial horse.
‘It’s surprising that he’s even mastered a part of the Asura Pacheonmu. He wasn’t the type of old man who would be easily defeated by anyone.’
So then, just how strong is Cheonma?
It was the same a hundred years ago.
It is said that Cheongheo Dojang, the leader of the Hwasan faction, used Jahashin Gong to block Cheonma, but even at the time, objective assessments indicated that it would be impossible to defeat Cheonma with just that one force.
There were many comments saying that it would be fortunate if he could do Donggwi Eojin. Even after fully displaying Jaha Shin Gong.
To that extent, Cheonma’s martial arts were special and unparalleled.
Even if all the other elders combined their strength, they would not be able to match the strength of a single Cheonma.
If that were the case now, even if it were only a little bit better than the Sun and Moon Demon Sword, it could still be a desperate situation.
The Central Plains martial arts world was going to be defeated and subjugated by the Demonic Cult.
Therefore, the contents of this letter were sure to have a great impact not only on the Jeongcheon Alliance but also on the Black Sword Alliance and the entire Central Plains.
It was not a story that could be stopped even if tried, so it was clear that the Central Plains would fall into chaos and the momentum of the entire Central Plains military would be greatly reduced.
There was a possibility that they would be completely defeated by the Demonic Cult.
No, it was high.
If ordinary warriors who think, “If even the Sword King couldn’t stop it, how can we?” start to back away, it won’t be a problem with the enemy’s elite swordsmen, but it will be difficult to even stop the advance of the mercenaries.
Thus, the death of the Sword King quickly began to upset the balance of the battlefield.
