Episode 91. The Courage to Say No

+ + +

Everyone’s attention was focused on Seo-ryun, who stood up calmly.

Namgung Hui glanced around and then responded.

“Please give me your opinion.”

The room was quiet.

There were also those who were genuinely curious about Seo-ryun’s opinion.

On the other hand, there were those who responded by saying, “If you want to say something, say it.”

However, Seo-ryun was neither discouraged nor hesitated.

“War should always be a last resort.”

There was movement here and there at Seo-ryun’s words.

The mouth was tightly shut, but the Adam’s apple moved slightly.

It was a telegram.

Nevertheless, Seo-ryun continued speaking confidently.

“I’ll tell you frankly. My family has already fought against the Demonic Cult’s armed forces. It was the Muryeong Squad.”

“Slaughterhouse?”

“Aren’t you the tracking team of the Demonic Cult?”

“Honamseo is a small town! Don’t lie!”

The reactions varied.

Those who are purely surprised.

Those who nod their heads silently.

And those who couldn’t believe it were divided into those who dismissed it as nonsense.

But Seo-ryun ignored it.

“I also encountered the Flame God Demon. I was safe thanks to the help of the adults of the volcano, but I could clearly feel the power of the Demonic Cult.”

Seo-ryun greeted the two great disciples of the Hwasan faction and spoke.

The disciples of the volcano responded with a bow.

Maybe that’s why.

This time there was no denying it.

“The current Demonic Cult is stronger than ever. Even if we pool our strength, we cannot guarantee victory or defeat.”

“Seo Sogaju, are you ignoring us now?”

“I’m telling you not to underestimate your enemy, Lord Hwangbo Soga.”

The ones who showed their discomfort to Seo-ryun were Kwon-ryong and Hwang-bo-tan.

But rather than being discouraged, Seo-ryun gave advice.

A young man who saw this with interest stood up and asked.

“It is a basic principle of military strategy that defending a castle is easier than besieging it. A siege requires three times as much force as a defense. But it seems that is not all.”

“It is as Master Zhuge Xiaoga said. In the past, the Sun and Moon Sect of Cheonsan fell before the martial arts world of the Central Plains, but isn’t the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains unwavering?”

The story that Seo-ryun brought out was a story about history.

There were two demonic cults in the history of martial arts.

The Sun and Moon Sect, an evil cult based in Tianshan, Xinjiang.

And after that, the Cheonma Shingyo was established with the appearance of the first Cheonma.

The two were completely different.

‘It’s wrong to treat them the same way as those guys.’

If the Ilwol Shinkyo was a new religion that had completely left the Central Plains, the current demonic religion, Cheonma Shinkyo, was a part of the Central Plains martial arts world.

Moreover, after the fall of the Sun and Moon Sect, the blood sect that had continued its lineage completely disappeared into history at the hands of the first Heavenly Demon.

The two also had a kind of hostile relationship.

In other words, the Central Plains martial arts world had to view them as completely different forces, even though they were all called the Demonic Cult.

‘The Sun and Moon Sect aimed to destroy the world, but we… no, the Cheonmasingyo aims to transform the world.’

Of course, there was no way that the martial artists of the Jeongpa would accept Seo Ryang’s views.

Because those who follow the right path could not possibly accept the devil’s way, which fanatically pursues power and promotes a religion that worships humans as gods.

Also, to the current Seo-Ryang, the Cheonma Shingyo was a demonic cult and an enemy.

‘Hmm, it’s none of my business.’

Seo-Ryang was momentarily confused about his identity when he heard the words “Ilwol Shin-Gyo.”

Of course, no one noticed Seo-ryang’s thoughts.

Jegal Yun and Seo Ryun continued to talk.

“That’s right. Over the past several hundred years, our party has attempted to conquer Hundred Thousand Mountains countless times, but has failed.”

“I would like to ask everyone present. Do you think the current situation is better than back then?”

“…….”

No one answered.

Because it wasn’t.

The Jeongpa Murim has always been stronger than the Demonic Cult, and has always driven the Demonic Cult out.

But now, the situation is that the Demonic Cult is stronger.

It wasn’t better than before, it was worse.

“It’s not a matter to get emotional about. My family is also angry at the Demonic Cult. However, I’m just holding back in order to get revenge.”

“Haha, Lord Seo Soga-ju’s words remind me of the proverb that a gentleman’s revenge is never too late, even if it takes ten years.”

Following Seo-ryun’s words, Jegal-yun added a word in a leisurely voice.

Then Seo-ryun added a word.

“Isn’t this gathering of the Later Index the place for those who shoulder the future of the martial arts world? I have no doubt in your sincerity.”

That was a really well-crafted statement.

While conveying the message that we should not be swayed by emotions and should look straight at the situation.

He said that he believed in their concern for the well-being of the martial arts world.

It was a way to properly convey what I wanted to say without making enemies.

‘I guess I won’t be the one to step forward.’

Seo Ryang leaned back comfortably on his chair as if he had known this would happen.

‘I felt it in Haenam Island last time, but Seo Sogaju is also eye-catching.’

‘Amitabha, you have the talent to lead people.’

‘Well, it seems like the youngest Confucius isn’t the only talented person in Honam Seoga… … .’

Namgung Hui and others were impressed by Seo Ryun’s logic and speaking skills.

In fact, it was just a discussion of reality, but it explained it well.

And it was amazing to have the courage to say no in a place like this.

But not everyone was like that.

“I would like to ask the Dangyeong of the Tang family, the Seo Sogaju.”

“Please speak.”

The eldest daughter and the second daughter of the Sacheondang family.

The Poisonous Dragon, one of the five dragons.

She opened her mouth for the first time.

“Then what should our reviewers do? I hope it’s not just about building up strength.”

“You are right. Would you please listen to my brief thoughts?”

But Seo-ryun had already thought about it and there was no stopping him.

As soon as Dokryong nodded, Seoryun began to list the methods.

“First, we need to strengthen and broaden our solidarity.”

“solidarity?”

“What do you want me to strengthen compared to now?”

The word solidarity caused a stir in the room.

But Seo-ryun continued to speak.

“Just as you invited my family to this place, the Jeongsaji clan should also be able to join us. They also share the same desire to fight against the Demonic Cult.”

“Listen, this place is originally for those who follow the path.”

“That’s right. The only reason you’re here is because the leader invited you. There’s no other meaning to it.”

This time the backlash was intense.

But at that moment, Hye-un and Cheong-hak stepped forward at the same time.

“Amitabha, the Hinayana thinks the same. What meaning would there be in stopping the spread of evil?”

“What is the degree? Should we discriminate based on the degree to which we walk?”

These were the two most influential and highest distributed words in the room.

Even if they had complaints, there were no fools who would show it outwardly.

“Thank you both.”

“No, Lord Seol-ryun.”

“Let’s move on to the second one. It’s a continuation of the first one. Please support the sects of the Jeongsaji clan, and in the meantime, please strengthen the power to suppress the Demonic Cult once again.”

Seo-ryun made the following suggestion without blinking an eye.

Of course, this time too, a loud noise came out.

“Support? In the middle of a love affair?”

“Isn’t this telling us to set up a shield and hide behind it?”

But no one showed their discomfort so openly as before.

He was just a quiet, obedient child.

Still, Seo-ryun didn’t care at all.

This was the third time.

“Lastly, please persuade the adults of the Jeongpa clan to help Madochilga.”

That was crazy talk.

Even if you’re crazy, that’s a really crazy thing to say.

Asking Jeongdoin to help the magician was something he shouldn’t have done.

As expected.

“Shut up!”

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about now!”

“Because I said listen, listen!”

Even Hye-un and Cheong-hak each muttered about being bad and bad, and closed their ears.

Namgung Hwi and Jegal Yun also sighed.

But then, Seo-ryun shouted.

“I don’t mean to really train with them! I mean to use them to shake up and destroy the unity of the Demonic Cult!”

Seo Ryang, who was about to get up, put his butt back on the chair.

I was worried for a moment, but his brother handled it as if he had expected it all.

Just like his old self.

“Does the method matter when it comes to destroying evil and promoting good? Someone has to get their hands dirty so that everyone can be purified.”

Despite Seo-ryun’s continued words, the room did not become quiet at all.

“I can’t stand this nonsense any longer! Be quiet now!”

“Know your manners! You may not know because you are in love, but it is wrong to say that!”

Although most of them were swearing, there were also many who pointed out things politely.

Eventually, when the room became unnecessarily noisy, Namgung Hwi stepped forward.

“Please stop!”

“…….”

“Your Majesty, please sit down.”

“All right.”

The room quickly became quiet.

Seo-ryun also sat down.

“Please take a short break. We will resume in a moment.”

The result of Seo-ryun’s groundbreaking words was, as expected, confusion.

+ + +

The room was still noisy.

Many people sent sharp gazes towards Seo-ryun and Seo-ryang.

There were also some who swore as if to tell me to listen.

But the two of them didn’t really care.

“Brother. You spoke realistically, but please refrain from mentioning such sensitive matters, didn’t you?”

“But I thought it would be better to talk.”

“It might be different for the Grand General or the Gon-o Shingae Elder, but it was a difficult proposal for them to accept.”

It was just as Seo Ryang said.

It was difficult to get one’s hands dirty with those who had not yet experienced the storm.

Moreover, there were many people in this place who were very thorough in their approach.

“It looks like I’ve stirred up a hornet’s nest for no reason.”

“No, it was just one stitch missing.”

“You’re going to tie the knot?”

“Yes, I will try.”

Seo Ryang’s words were filled with confidence.

That’s why Seo-ryun was even more curious.

Because I had no idea what my younger brother would say to convince them.

At this, Seo Ryang smiled faintly and sent a message.

[Brother, when you touch someone, you have to touch them very deeply.]

[What does that mean?]

[They will touch the people and histories they respect so much.]

[You’re crazy.]

[I’m in my right mind.]

Seo-ryun also noticed Seo-ryang’s method.

In a way, it was simple.

This means that Jeong Do-in is going to touch on the corruption of the authors.

[What on earth are you trying to do, who are you trying to mess with?]

[There was a time when Jeongdo and Mado combined their powers.]

Seo-ryang’s words meant that he was provoking the leader of the martial arts world, the great general, the heads of the famous clans, and the elders.

Seo-ryun, who was trying to dissuade him, was stopped by Namgung Hwi’s shout that the meeting was about to begin again.

And so the meeting resumed.

“Seoryang of Honam Seoga. I would like to say a few words.”

Seo Ryang came forward.

Naturally, everyone’s attention was focused on it.

Friendly people, including Namgung Hui, showed signs of worry.

“I don’t understand because I’m still young. The adults here have already been with the devil.”

“…….”

“Is that all? Not only are you with us, but there are many people who are like friends with the mines.”

If Seo-ryun had lit the fuse of the wall bomb, it was not just the detonator that had been lit.

It was just at the level of blowing up straight away.

“That, that’s not because of the Great Mongol Resistance! Isn’t that out of line!”

“Then is it wrong now?”

“…….”

No one answered.

At this, Seo-ryun smiled in vain and shook his head.

As you say.

As my brother said, the awkward situation was resolved neatly.

Rather, it was the other person who felt uncomfortable.

“Doesn’t the just cause of upholding justice and the practical benefit of bringing peace to all people go together? Why do you say it is out of line?”

“that…….”

“I know. You probably think it’s wrong. The elders of the party probably thought so at first, too.”

“…….”

“But they saw a greater cause and walked that path. Was that out of line?”

Sighs came out here and there.

There was no way to refute it.

Doing so would be no different from insulting the elders of the Buddhist order.

Also, it was because the level of Seo Ryang’s speech was no different from theirs.

Seo Ryang took a deep breath and scanned the room.

And then he made his final remarks.

“I, Seo-ryang. I beg you earnestly. Please consider it carefully.”

The right path.

Not to everyone’s extent, but to a degree that everyone can understand.

That was the extent of what Seo-ryang had proposed for Seo-ryun.
