The advance of the Demonic Cult.
As the news stirred up a commotion in the Murim Alliance, Cheonhwa arrived at the Seomseo headquarters with Bukgungyeon, Noeryeong, and Moo-oh.
Since Honam, another main force, was under threat, the Safa warriors belonging to the former Black Alliance, who had gathered here thinking they would attack Shaanxi, were confused and couldn’t hide their bewilderment, but the leadership was unable to come up with any alternatives or guidelines.
That’s understandable, since they too have not been properly maintained yet.
Key figures of the Jeongcheon Alliance and the Heukdo Alliance.
As the two factions merged into one, they also became one, but no matter how much they reorganized the structure, each person’s position is not clear, and they are not satisfied with the roles and authority that come with that position, so even in this urgent situation, they have not been able to come up with a proper response because they have been fighting over their rice bowls.
So, the confusion could only have worsened, but the reason it was able to hold on was because of the leaders.
Even though they were busy looking out for their own interests, everyone had to acknowledge their power.
In particular, Gyeongcheon Heukje remained in Honam to prepare for such a situation, but since the overlord came to Shaanxi instead, there was dissatisfaction, but it did not lead to serious division.
Even among the Sapa people, there were those who did not like the overlord, but since he was the center of the Sapa warriors gathered here, they were able to raise their voices without being intimidated by the Jeongpa warriors, and since the power, influence, and morale of the Jeongpa warriors were greatly reduced by the battles of Cheonghae and Sacheon, they were able to shout and walk around proudly.
On the other hand, the discontent of the Jeongpa warriors, who had to join forces with the Sapa warriors whom they hated, was also growing considerably, but since the popular masters such as Taegeuk Sword Master, the leader of Jeongcheon, and Shaolin Master were considerate of them, they were not blown up or had a major fight with the Sapa.
“You came.”
“Welcome. I’ve been waiting for you.”
Cheonhwa, who entered the main office of the Murim Alliance through such anxiety and confusion, was guided straight to the leader’s headquarters.
There, the faces of the Jeongpa and Sapa, which even Cheonhwa had seen, were first placed.
‘Didn’t the leader say it was still early?’
But the throne of the Meng Zhou Dynasty was empty.
This is because, although they have agreed to form the Murim Alliance, they have not yet elected the person with absolute power and authority called the Murim Alliance Leader.
A hundred years ago, the power of the Jeongpa was much stronger, and other forces such as the Sapa assisted and strengthened it, so the head of the Hwasanpa took the position of the leader of the martial arts world, but this time, the situation was different.
The power of the Jeongpa is still at a level that cannot be ignored, so it cannot be said that the power of the Sapa is greater, but on the other hand, the power of the Sapa is not weak enough for the Jeongpa to do as they please, so it does not allow the Jeongpa people to easily sit in the position of the leader of the martial arts world.
However, it was not likely that the Jeongpa would readily accept Saphain becoming the leader of the Murim faction.
Nevertheless, agreement was possible.
The Shaolin abbot, a respected figure who transcends both politics and private life, ascends to the position of the leader of the martial arts world.
But he refused.
It was because of something he said himself at the martial arts competition a while ago.
He proposed the creation of the Murim Alliance, but declared that he would not run for the position of leader, so he will keep his word.
‘It might be better.’
Because of this, the election of the leader was initially broken up, but in fact, if they had decided to push ahead, the ruling party could have taken over.
The three most powerful warriors in the current martial arts world.
Because two of the three belong to the same political party.
So, if the two of them worked together and pushed forward, they could bring the position of the leader of the martial arts world to the Jeongpa side.
But that wasn’t the case.
Taegeuk Sword Master, who was also the leader of Jeongcheon, was not a person who was very greedy, perhaps because he was a shaman and Taoist priest, and Maehwa Sword Master of Hwasanpa also did not covet the position of leader, as he had done before.
In the past, it was to continue the will of Cheongheo Dojang, which was the leader during the Jeongma War.
At that time, Cheongheo Dojang was known as the leader of the martial arts world and the one who stopped Cheonma, but after the Jeongma War ended and he returned to the Hwasan faction, he became a person who lived in seclusion and devoted the rest of his life to studying martial arts with the sole purpose of advancing Jaha Shingong and the Hwasan faction’s martial arts.
The Plum Blossom Sword Master, who inherited his legacy, also expressed his intention to become a single sword and focus solely on blocking the Demonic Cult, rather than a commander like the leader, since they had failed once.
As a result, many people were puzzled as to why he, the leader of the Murim Alliance that had blocked the advance of the Demonic Cult, had failed. However, since his will was so firm, it was something that could not be forced upon him.
On the other hand, in the case of Gyeongcheon Black Emperor, he was not a person who had no desire for the position of leader, but the restraint was too severe.
Although four of the five great factions of the Gupaebang have already fallen, their power and influence remain intact, and they actively oppose Saphain ascending to the throne.
That’s why the current leader of the Murim Alliance was vacant.
It was a situation where the leaders of the Jeongcheon Alliance and the Heukdo Alliance discussed and reached agreements to make decisions while maintaining a sort of consensus, and it was also the case that many people were facing Cheonhwa because of that.
“Let’s get to the point without wasting any more time. Where is the statue?”
Since each of them is the leader of a huge martial arts force, the prayers they uttered were unusual.
Although they weren’t all the best in their respective factions, they were strong enough to be considered top-tier, and there were even several masters of the Hwagyeong class among them, so the pressure on Cheonhwa and his party was bound to be no joke.
But that’s it.
Even if it was only at the beginning of the climax, or rather the very beginning of the super climax, it would have been inevitable to feel considerable pressure and be intimidated, but there was no such person among them.
“No way~!”
Just by looking at the way Muo yawned, you could tell they had failed to seize the initiative.
“You really are a hothead. Here you are.”
Wheeze-
They must have felt it too, because the King threw the sealed Asura statue at Cheonhwa, who was casually demanding the Asura statue as if he was doing something annoying.
It wasn’t just thrown for you to receive.
Because it was thrown by a martial artist of the Hwagyeong class with all his profound internal energy.
The tyrant had a calm expression on his face without showing it, but at the peak level, it was difficult to receive it without taking damage.
“… … !”
Cheonhwa immediately noticed it and accepted it with a slight frown.
Without even using the sound, with my bare hands.
“Hmm, it looks like it’s genuine.”
As soon as he received it, he immediately opened the seal as if he didn’t even need to relieve his energy.
What I got was the torso of the Asura statue.
As a Cheonhwa, I looked at them lightly and turned around to look at them, because they were quite interesting.
Some looked as if they had expected this, while others looked as if they couldn’t hide their bewilderment.
Because it was proven by the move just before.
The fact that the heavenly flower has reached the state of Hwagyeong.
“Then shall we listen to the story?”
That’s why Cheonhwa didn’t bother to hide herself.
There was no reason for that, since some of these people here were enemies of my parents, or maybe they were all enemies.
Although Kyungcheon Heukje and a few others are missing, this is enough to say that it is the entirety of the current Central Plains martial arts world, so I want to make sure of it.
There was a need to show who was above, who they were facing.
Slowly, slowly
Cheonhwa, who had received the Asura statue he had been waiting for, stepped forward.
Ignoring the numerous masters who filled the arena, I walked towards somewhere.
“what……!”
It wasn’t hard to see what was at the end of his gaze as he walked in a straight line.
The throne of the leader.
The heavenly flower is rising in the place where only the leader can sit.
It was embarrassing, but I couldn’t help but ask for his help.
That’s why I tried to stop Cheonhwa and make him kneel by emitting an invisible energy and momentum, but of course, that was impossible.
Even if they don’t necessarily spread the word, their power and momentum, which are not even power, cannot make Cheonhwa hesitate even for a moment.
dump
In the end, Cheonhwa sat on the throne of the leader.
While everyone was unable to hide their bewilderment because they could not figure out his intentions, Cheonhwa’s mouth opened first.
“Judging by their expressions, these are faces that know what this is, so this will be easy to talk about. From now on, you will have to tell me everything about this statue. Everything related to the incident you committed to obtain this statue over ten years ago. That is the final condition for my help. If what I say from now on contains even the slightest lie, anyone, or everyone here, will be held responsible and will pay the price.
It was a warning and a notice.
He spoke rudely and outrageously to the best of the martial arts world, the true masters of the world of justice and morality.
“Responsibility? Price? Do you dare to say that you can deal with everyone here, or rather, this body?”
Naturally, the reaction happened immediately.
The overlord, one of the five kings and a master of the flower world, is growling as if he will come out at any moment, raising his momentum to the max.
Whether it was because he had sat on the throne of the leader that even he could not sit on, or because he did not like the way people talked as if they were looking down on him, if he said one more wrong word here, he seemed ready to make a life-or-death decision, regardless of whether it was cooperation or not.
“Please check.”
At that moment, the entire space trembled in fear.
Not only them, but the atmosphere and the nature that fills it are trembling with fear as if screaming.
If you can’t feel it, you can’t be called a master.
Among those gathered here, there was no one who was below the level of a fully matured super-peak, so now there was no one who did not notice the level of the Heavenly Flower.
“this guy……!”
“What is this… … ?”
“A thousand… … mas… … ?”
Even the great king who had reached the same level of skill could not emerge.
I’m afraid. I’m afraid that I’ll suffer humiliation and be defeated miserably, let alone win.
What Cheonhwa emitted was not only energy, but also a great deal of murderous intent and hostility, so much so that some people even thought of Cheonma’s name.
How could anyone but the Heavenly Horse possess such strength and murderous intent?
Moreover, since it was Cheonhwa who suddenly appeared in the martial arts world as if he had fallen from the sky, I was genuinely suspicious.
“Ahem… … !”
At the same time, the gaze turned towards the door.
Because the hostility and murderous intent were so strong, the subconscious began to search for a way out, assuming that it would actually confront him.
However, Bukgungyeon was standing there with Noeryeong and Muoh.
Everyone could see it because they also didn’t hide their own energy.
The existence of two spirits with a power that is beyond that of a fully mature peak, and the power of Bukgungyeon who has reached the realm of a fully mature flower that rivals the three emperors.
If you really try to break through there, will you be able to get through?
It was natural to think of the word crowd.
Even the tyrant king with his aggressive and tyrannical personality just bit his lips and trembled while holding his sword tightly.
“Can I tell you something?”
At that moment, someone stepped forward towards Cheonhwa.
He spoke gently and politely, completely absorbing the waves of hostility and murderous intent that seemed to pour out and ripple through his entire body the moment he moved.
He was the Shaolin monk.
He was the one who gave up the position of the leader of the martial arts world, but he was the one who willingly sacrificed his body for the martial arts world and to save the people suffering from the invasion of the Demonic Cult, and he was the one who was sitting here.
“Let’s do it.”
He was a Shaolin abbot who was respected by both the public and private sectors, both martial artists and ordinary people.
That’s why Cheonhwa also responded with a slightly softened voice.
However, he was not completely relieved because the fact that he was doing this meant that he was also involved in the matter.
Still giving him a chance with a sharp voice, the Shaolin abbot asked Cheonhwa back without showing any sign of discomfort.
“Before that, may I ask you what your connection to this matter is?”
I wanted to snap at him, saying, “What are you going to do with that if you know?” But I held back, suspecting that he might try to lie if he found out.
I made a quick decision.
Even if he were the Shaolin monk, he wouldn’t be able to make me recognize the lie as truth, so I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to let him know.
If you lie, it means you have something to hide.
That means there must be a reason why it has to be hidden.
That’s why I explained it in one short word.
“Survivor.”
“Amitabha… … The child who disappeared gave me alms. Good. I will tell you everything you want to know.”
Then the Shaolin master immediately understood the meaning.
That also meant that he was deeply involved in the events of that time, but there was no trace of falsehood in his statement that he would tell everything.
That’s why Cheonhwa also listened with a slightly pounding heart.
I was able to hear the truth about that day that I didn’t know about.
