One of the two letters that Cheonhwa sent when he left the Moorim Alliance was addressed to Towang and Salgwi.
It contained instructions for them to go to Shaanxi and spy on the leaders of the Murim Alliance.
In the case of Salgwi, even though he was lying flat on his face, he decided to only listen to orders related to ‘murder’ because of his identity as the King of Murder, so he ordered him to spy on them, kill anyone who confirmed that they had information different from the events of that day or anything else they were hiding, and steal information or evidence.
The king is promoting a cooperative relationship, and since this is one of his specialties, a few lines of soothing words could have solved it.
Even so, it was a job to monitor the leaders of the Murim Alliance, kill them, and take something from their hands.
There was a possibility of failure, and I also considered the possibility that it would be difficult to implement because there would be no room to do anything.
That’s why I sent another letter to Haomen.
There are ways to get information without having to monitor them directly.
He instructed them to find out the information he wanted by looking into their movements, the words and actions of their close associates, and the movements of the Murim Alliance after he left.
“First of all, it is the Demonic Cult… … .”
And after a while, the information received from Haomen was not about what Tianhua had ordered.
Results of the first survey.
Haomen delivered the results of his own investigation into the events of that day.
The truth of that day was confirmed and combined with everyone in the village and everyone who left the village in the past dozen years.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t much different from what the Shaolin master had said.
There was a bit more to it, in that Cheonhwa’s father, who seemed to have completed the Asura statue just before the incident, realized the evil spirit’s power and sent a letter directly to the Shaolin abbot asking for protection before sending the news to the Demonic Cult.
The Shaolin abbot, upon confirming this, personally asked for cooperation from those around him, dispatched unmanned personnel, and placed them in Cheonhwa’s manor to protect him.
However, it was impossible to stop the mines with the hastily gathered troops.
It was written that shortly after the Mines attacked the manor, all the warriors who had gathered to protect the manor were slaughtered, and some of them tried to get Cheonhwa’s father to safety, but failed and were eventually killed.
And the Shaolin abbot at that time is the current Shaolin abbot.
Perhaps the reason I felt sorry for Cheonhwa and told her the whole story first was because I felt sorry for not being able to protect her at that time.
‘First of all, they’re the devil’s cult guys.’
To be sure, even after receiving the letter, Cheonhwa did not withdraw the instructions he had given to Towang and Salgwi, and continued to ask Haomen to find out more, but this revealed his enemy for the time being.
The devil’s cult.
Those who are aiming for this Asura statue are the true enemies of the parents.
Also, they were the enemies that Cheonhwa had to defeat now.
It was difficult to find mercy in those hands.
“Once you sweep everything away, the head will pop out.”
Of course, it was difficult to see even individual soldiers as enemies.
Among the upper class who want Asura’s statue, there must be a real villain.
But I don’t know who it is, and I don’t really need to know.
Because they’re all going to have to be wiped out anyway.
If you do that, the big bosses will come out, and if you beat them up one by one, your grudge will naturally be avenged.
At least it was clear who ordered all that.
Heavenly horse.
The master of the Cheonmasingyo religion and the one who most greatly desires the statue of Asura.
It was a firm fact that he had to end the guy who gave all those orders with his own hands.
“Welcome, Your Majesty! I have been waiting for you!”
The martial artists of the Martial Arts Alliance eagerly welcomed Cheonhwa, who had left the Shaanxi Martial Arts Alliance and arrived at the Guizhou front.
Whether you like the character Cheonhwa or not, it is a welcome development that a new master of Hwagyeong has appeared, even with the nickname of King, at a time when there is a shortage of masters.
Moreover, they were half-abandoned.
The Sapa warriors who made Guizhou their base, the masters dispatched from another martial arts alliance headquarters in Honam, and even the mediocre ones and the Jeongsajigan or ronin among the Jeongpa warriors.
Since these people were gathered together to block the Demonic Cult’s martial arts forces, the situation did not look very good at first glance.
Most of them had already been in several battles and were either injured or wounded, and their martial arts skills were so varied that it felt like they were a ragtag group.
“What about the ghost and the tou-gwi?”
“They are on the battlefield. Upon hearing that the Evil King is coming, both of them expressed their intention to relinquish command here, so from now on, we will follow the Evil King’s command.”
The ones who had previously led them were Jeon Gwi and Toogwi.
It was only natural that the two of them had the highest level of martial arts, but there were also problems that weren’t problems because of that.
Jeon Gwi was a ronin, and he was good at leading ronin, so he showed outstanding skills in group battles, but the problem was that he was a ronin.
Although his fame and accomplishments were acknowledged by everyone, there were quite a few who felt uncomfortable taking orders from a despised money-ghost, or ronin.
Their fighting style, which is not a duel of martial arts but a fight, is clearly effective against the Demonic Cult, but there were those who opposed this, saying that it was not a fight by an unmanned force, as they seemed to focus on things like ambushes, poison, secret weapons, and traps using organs.
That’s why Jeon Gwi’s plans were inevitably disrupted several times, and the resulting damage was again his fault.
It was the fault of those who did not follow orders properly, but they are being blamed.
As soon as Jeon Gwi heard the news that Cheon Hwa was coming, he was fed up with them and handed over command to him, leading the Ronin to a different front.
On the other hand, the appearance of the two-legged thief was extremely unmanned.
His martial arts skills were also outstanding, and his overwhelming martial arts skills made the hearts of many warriors flutter, but because of his fighting style that was like a ghost, the damage to those who followed him was bound to be great.
It was because I was not the type of person who enjoyed safe fights in the first place, so I mainly fought battles of annihilation where either the enemy died or I died.
That’s why he also had fewer followers, and when he heard the news of Cheonhwa, he jumped to another front with only a small number of troops following him.
‘You passed it on well.’
Those who greeted him tried to package it all up, but Cheonhwa was not swayed because he had already obtained information from Haomun.
I figured out what they were up to and I also realized that they were just dumping all this annoying and useless stuff on me.
“What about the movement of the Demonic Cult?”
“After the initial violent attack, we are now stabilizing the occupied territory and only causing small-scale skirmishes. It may be because Jeon-gwi and To-gwi are fighting each other, but it is strangely quiet.”
Then, Cheonhwa, who had figured out the movements of the Demonic Cult, nodded his head.
The gathering place of the Murim Alliance was Gwiyang, the capital of Gwiju.
Below them, to the southwest, the two-legged cavalry were moving and fighting, and to the north, the two-legged cavalry were pushing back the minions together with the ronin, but they were also crouching, so the front line was in a fixed state.
Of course, the situation will change drastically the moment the Demonic Cult makes up their mind and takes action, but for now, they are in a relaxed state.
Because of that, Cheonhwa wanted to meet the two at least once, but she changed her mind.
There’s no need to do that since we’re not going to be socializing anyway.
‘If you keep pushing them away, you’ll eventually meet them.’
Anyway, if we sweep away the demonic bastards and push them back towards Sacheon, we will eventually face them.
“Do you have a list of useful people? Bring it.”
“Ah! Yes. First, we need to meet everyone and build a bond… … .”
When I said that I would first figure out the available powers, the guy smiled and smacked his lips.
It seems like he took it as a call to get everyone together for a drink and get to know each other better.
But of course, Cheonhwa had no such intention.
They’re not the kind of people you’ll see for a long time, and what’s the point of getting to know their faces when they’re weak?
“Okay. Tell everyone to get into combat readiness. We’ll advance immediately.”
“Yes. Yes?!”
If you survive the whole rampage, you might be remembered.
That would also be a story of when he showed something impressive.
“We’ll strike first. I don’t know what they’re preparing, but there’s no reason for us to wait.”
Cheonhwa immediately gave the order to deploy.
Even though the Demonic Cult is hesitating and catching its breath, it is a wartime situation, so small preparations can be made quickly.
Then, strike before the enemies are ready.
There’s nothing to be afraid of, but is there really any need to waste time by being slow? It’s not like I lack the strength.
It may have been like that before, but it was different now that he was here.
“Are you saying we should attack first?”
“Then you want to wait until you get hit? Don’t make me say it again and again, just tell everyone to gather right now. I’ll take the lead.”
Also, such a bold decision could be a way to confuse the enemy’s spies.
Cheonhwa took advantage of it.
While gathering all those who could be of help, he mobilized the Murim Alliance’s information network and Haomun to detect suspicious movements.
Because Haomen was everywhere.
Here too, in the areas currently occupied by the Demonic Cult.
Since they are not unmanned, Haomen’s information network should be able to work unless they wipe out everyone.
Opening up means slaughtering or subduing all the beggars, but Haomen are everywhere, including coachmen, boatmen, porters, servants, merchants, gisaengs, and parasites.
Although it may not be easy for information to come out, small pieces of information are still occasionally being passed on to Haomun.
‘It’s annoying, so I’ll just sweep it all away at once.’
Moreover, he decided to step forward himself, not anyone else.
Even if you don’t know yourself well, the power of the name Demon King is something that can never be ignored.
Because it also meant a master who had reached the state of Hwagyeong.
If such a master were to personally go out, the damage would be great, regardless of what the Demonic Cult had prepared and what it had prepared for.
Especially since they are also moving the Yin Gong army, it is impossible not to know the power of Yin Gong in group battles.
In that case, urgent information would surely be delivered to them, and if they could understand it, they would be able to catch the liver.
It would have been enough to just sweep them all away, whether or not they had livers, but since there was no need to carry a sword behind him, Cheonhwa planned to clean up properly this time.
“Let’s go, it’s a sortie.”
As soon as preparations were complete, the entire Murim Alliance force, led by Cheonhwa, began to head towards the Demonic Cult’s occupied territory.
Local wars have occurred frequently up until now, but this was the first time that the Murim Alliance had taken the initiative so suddenly, so everyone seemed tense, but the four people at the forefront, no, the two people and the two spirits, were relaxed.
This is because they know that unless the Heavenly Horse appears in person, it is impossible to stop them or the steps of the Heavenly Flower.
So, the evil king’s army started its unconventional course from the beginning.
The counterattack of the Murim Alliance has begun.
