Chapter 4. The Fourth Half of Honglimgoe

The fourth man stood with his legs shoulder-width apart. It was the stance of someone ready to fight. His fighting spirit could also be sensed through the murderous intent mixed in his eyes.

The moment the names Chilmaraga and Ma-Maeng came up, it seemed like he had no other choice but to fight.

During the Chilma Rebellion, Honglim, where the world’s greatest evildoers gathered, was destroyed. This was because Honglim’s evildoers refused to produce the Muhonma Army that Chilma had requested.

There was some resentment towards the Murim Alliance for cold-heartedly ignoring them when they asked for help when Chilma’s attack was expected, but it was nothing compared to Chilma directly attacking Honglim.

It is a well-known fact in the world that Ma-Meng is the descendant of Chil-Ma.

So it is natural that Sabansu, the few surviving members of Hongrim’s evil spirits, would harbor hostility toward the master of Shinma Ryeong, who is the incarnation of Honma Chang.

And that enmity is a fight to the death.

“I didn’t come here to fight…….”

He said this while looking at the quarter moon that revealed its life.

“I suppose so. What good would it do to kill a member of parliament like me? There must be something more you want than killing me, right?”

“Well… that’s right.”

Jeokwol answered with a trembling expression.

The attitude of the majority was clear. They would rather die than grant Ma-Meng’s demands.

“Then we must fight. I cannot do anything to those who claim to be descendants of Chilma.”

“Even if I die?”

“Hehehe, don’t even think about threatening me with death. And if we fight, who knows who will die. I thought something like this would happen at any time. There are many people in the world who need my medical skills. Of course, even a child would know that Ma-Mang’s group would threaten my life. I wouldn’t have prepared for it, right? It’s something I’ve experienced once.”

It means that if a fight breaks out, you will never lose easily.

Jeokwol looked around. There were no people hiding. However, there were several unidentifiable objects scattered around the thatched cottage.

Jars, stone statues, dead trees and animals were also taxidermied, creating a grotesque atmosphere.

“It’s so weird, it’s so weird, it really is.”

Jeokwol muttered to himself.

“You could say that it condenses Hongrim’s power. If you want to experience it, don’t hesitate.”

A quarter of them warned.

Of course, Jeokwol had no desire to experience the death objects created by the Hongrim Demons.

It’s not like they were scary. It’s just that now wasn’t the time to fight. The most urgent task was to somehow persuade Sabansu and take him to the Ice Palace Lord.

This was because Sabansu and Ice Palace could play quite important roles in the grand plan planned by the Immortal King.

“First, please give me a cup of tea.”

The red moon spit out words that were out of place in the tense standoff where one could feel the heat.

“…What do you want to do?”

“Let’s talk about it first.”

“Haha, do you think I can be persuaded?”

“exactly.”

“…….”

The eyes of the overly confident Jeokwol narrowed at Sa-Ha-Na’s words.

This kind of confidence can only be had when you have caught the perfect weakness of your opponent or when you can pay an irresistible price.

And in cases like this, you can’t help but listen to what the other person has to say.

“Will you listen to my story? Or…….”

Kuoo!

In an instant, a powerful whirlwind of true energy appeared around Jeokwol’s body. Then, the fallen leaves around him rose into the air and spun around at a terrifying speed.

Meanwhile, a bright, lightning-like, intense light streamed from Jeokwol’s eyes and passed through Sabansu’s army.

“hmm…….”

A groan escaped from the mouth of the fourth person without his knowledge.

In the world of martial arts, there are absolute masters that cannot be defeated no matter how much preparation is made. However, he could feel the aura of that absolute master from the new demon lord who had come to find him.

“Do you want to fight?”

The red moon asked.

Then, the fourth half thought for a moment and then answered.

“Let me hear your story.”

I couldn’t tell if it was because of fear or some other reason, but for once, the majority chose to talk.

“Good choice.”

The red moon praised the choice of Sabansu.

“Go in.”

The fourth person pointed to his hut and said:

“I don’t have to take care of the herbal medicine pot, do I?”

“Haha, I can just make it again.”

It is a bland answer considering the appearance of Sabansu, who has been diligently preparing medicine for several hours now.

“But still, I can’t burn it.”

Since the majority did not want to burn the medicines on the brazier, they held the handles with muslin cloth and lowered the medicine pots one by one to the ground.

Then he shook his hands and walked towards the thatched hut.

Daughter!

The fourth person dropped the teacup they were holding.

Fortunately, the tea did not spill because it was right above the table. But even if the tea had spilled, most people would not have paid attention.

The words spoken in a soft voice, as if the red moon was writing on a telescope, shook the minds of the majority.

“Are you asking me to believe those words?”

A quarter of them asked back.

“It is up to the management and labor to believe or not. But…….”

widely!

Jeokwol lifted his sword and placed it on the table.

Then, the tea that had not spilled even when the cup fell sprang out of the cup and soaked the desk.

Jeokwol’s intention was simple: if you don’t believe his words and reject his proposal, he will never spare you.

“…….”

Sabansu looked heavily at the Red Moon Sword that was on the table.

“I have no personal feelings toward Nosa. However, this matter is so important that anyone who hears this story must unconditionally participate in it. There is no neutrality.”

Jeokwol’s tone was quiet, but more powerful than any threat.

It was not hard for Saban to realize that the man who had told him a terrible secret unknown to the world would not hesitate to use his sword if he did not follow his will.

No, I felt the other person’s life force with my whole body.

It is not a murderous intent that arises out of hostility. It is a murderous intent that arises out of necessity. In such a case, the opponent will kill you without hesitation.

“Huh… You’re saying that you have to believe it unconditionally.”

“Belief is not enough. You must help me.”

The red moon said.

“…What kind of help do you need?”

A quarter of them asked.

It seems like they roughly trust Jeokwol’s words.

Then Jeokwol’s expression softened.

“First, please meet the princess of the Ice Palace.”

“If you’re talking about the princess of the Ice Palace… are you talking about the sleeping Sulwha Heewon?”

A quarter of them frowned.

Seolhwa Heewon, who was one of the Seven Horses when Honglim was destroyed, did not actively use the sword, but she was one of the Seven Horses anyway.

“No. I’m talking about the current Ice Palace Lord.”

“With the ice sword’s first snow…?”

“exactly.”

“Is she going to meet me?”

“That was the condition for her to help me with my work.”

Jeokwol spoke frankly.

“Why……?”

“Do you know what a paradise flower is?”

Jeokwol had nothing to hide from Sabansu. He was betting on Sabansu.

It was a fight for his life. He planned to cut him down if he could not make Sabansu completely his own.

It could be because he entered the Ma-Mang and became poisoned while living as a new demon.

But to get a quarter of the people, you have to be honest, and if that honesty doesn’t get you a quarter of the people, you have to kill them.

It was a choice that had nothing to do with his entry into the Ma-Mang.

So, for now, I was telling Sabansu all the facts without hiding anything.

“Paradise…! Are you looking for it? The Ice Palace?”

“I think so.”

“Um… That means you’re going to revive Seolhwa Heewon……”

Sabansu could guess why Binggung was looking for him just by hearing that he was looking for Paradise Flower. He must have been an excellent doctor.

“Can you find it?”

“I know roughly where to look for it, but it’s not my job to find it or not.”

“Even that much would be enough to satisfy the Ice Palace.”

The red moon answered.

Then, a quarter of them tilted their heads.

“But it’s strange. Why are you now trying to find the Paradise Flower and wake up Seolhwa Heewon? It’s been quiet for the past twenty years.”

“I recently found out that you can wake her up with the Paradise Flower. And… waking her up isn’t an easy decision to make. Also, something seems to have happened at the Ice Palace recently. I absolutely have to wake her up….”

Jeokwol told me what he had found out.

Then the majority nodded and said.

“In fact, the Ice Palace belongs to the Magic Circle, but it’s hard to call it a Magic Circle, and even if Seolhwa Heewon awakens, the world won’t fall into chaos. To be blunt, he belongs to the Seven Demons, but he doesn’t have the same evil nature as the Seven Demons… If that story is true, it will be helpful in dealing with them.”

The fourth half spoke. It was a story about the absolute three thousand.

Judging from his speech, he already seemed like someone who had joined forces with Jeokwol to fight the Absolute Three Thousand.

“Would you like to go together?”

“Let’s do that.”

A quarter of them answered coolly.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you… but why did you change your face?”

“……!”

Jeokwol was speechless for a moment at the sudden question.

He never thought that half of the people would know that he had done something bad.

When Jeokwol looked at him in confusion, Sabansu smiled and said.

“Did you really think you could fool half of Honglimgoe’s eyes? Let’s see… I’ll hear the details of the face-changing situation later. However, it seems like the change needs to be done in a few places.”

“What is that……?”

“You probably haven’t been discovered until now because you’ve been covering your face. If you come face to face with a master of medicine like me, you’ll definitely be discovered. So I’ll make your face even more perfect while I’m gone. So that no one will notice the change.”

“Whew… I guess it was my luck that I met you, Nosa.”

“If you took a risk, shouldn’t the reward be worth it? By the way, are you ready to deal with those crazy guys?”

The majority showed hostility towards the Absolute Three Thousand. It was understandable, because if they had caused the Chilma Rebellion, the Absolute Three Thousand could not be free from the destruction of Hongrim.

“I’m making my own plans and preparing. That’s why I need the help of both sides…….”

“Okay, good. I’ll help out too.”

“Thank you.”

“But… who are you?”

It’s an odd question to ask after discussing risking your life to fight someone together.

Who are you?

Originally, this question should have been the beginning of the story. However, Jeokwol had told everything so far, but he still had not told one thing: his true identity.

Because that was the secret he had to keep until the very end.

But now it’s time to reveal your identity.

Jeokwol stood up from his seat and politely showed the lottery ticket to Sabansu.

“I, the disciple of the Twelve Heavenly Gates and the immortal Nawang, greet you, Master Jeokwol!”

The red moon was going back down the path it had come from.

Just like when he came, Hwan-dong and Ma-young-cheon were by his side.

The other horsemen were waiting for the red moon at the bottom of the mountain.

But Ma Young-cheon’s expression was strange. He kept looking back and looking at the thatched cottage where half of Honglimgwae lived.

His actions could not have gone unnoticed by Jeokwol.

“Why do I still have regrets?”

Jeokwol asked Mayoung Cheon.

“Are you… going to leave him like this?”

“Because I got what I got.”

The red moon answered.

“But didn’t the Ice Palace Lord want to bring him?”

“To be exact, there was something he wanted to hear from me. I was the one conveying it to him.”

Ma Young-cheon swallowed hard as he was about to ask what that was. It might have been too forward-looking of a question for someone of his status.

As if he had guessed what was on his mind, Jeokwol answered a question he hadn’t even asked.

“I can’t tell you what that is. It’s a promise between me and the Ice Palace Lord. Anyway, since I’ve obtained the basis for dealing with the Ice Palace Lord, there’s no need to take him with me if he insists on staying.”

“But he is a useful person. If you take him on…….”

“Haha, I know one thing about him and don’t know two.”

“……?”

Ma Young-cheon asked silently what he didn’t know.

“He is the kind of person who would give me what I want even if it meant losing his life if he didn’t like it. He survived when Chil-ma annihilated Hong-rim. People like that don’t usually fear death. They also harbor deep resentment toward Chil-ma. But who am I? I am the successor of one of Chil-ma. Do you think he would obediently do what I tell him to do?”

“Well… of course it would be difficult.”

Ma Young-cheon answered.

“It’s not that it’s difficult, it’s that it’s impossible. That’s why I wanted to hear just one thing from him. In fact, it wasn’t something he would risk his life to protect. So the deal was made. He would continue to live his life with his back to the world, and I wouldn’t bother him.”

“If he complied with those conditions, then what the Ice Palace Lord wanted wasn’t really that important.”

“Well, the importance of anything varies from person to person. Anyway, let’s quickly return to Ma-mang. There’s no time to be lazy anymore. The Murim Alliance Justice Squad of Kuro will be approaching Baekma Mountain within a month.”

“That’s right. I have already received word that the Justice Corps led by Baek Wan, the leader of the Bukdusanmun, has reached the vicinity of Chang’an.”

“Okay. Let’s hurry up. Let’s have a game.”

Jeokwol said with an expression as if everything was going well.

And on the night that the Red Moon passed by, half of the Hongrimgwae’s followers also quietly left their quarters.

* * *

Baekmasan Sangcheon Valley was still covered in cloud-like fog.

Although it had been several months since he had returned, it felt like an unfamiliar place to Jeokwol.

Even while he was away from Sangcheon Valley, he would often receive news of Ma-Meng through Ma Hae-Mi-Do and continued his life as the new Lord of the Demon Realm. However, just by leaving Sangcheon Valley, which was Ma-Meng’s den, the aura of tyranny that had been secretly lingering within him had largely disappeared for Jeokwol.

But when I returned to the den of the devil, I felt the spirits of the devil that had subsided rise again.

‘So this is why people are weak beings. The body’s energy changes depending on the place… ‘

Jeokwol smiled bitterly as he felt the aura of domination stirring.

“Your Majesty!”

At the entrance to the path on top of the cliff leading to Sangcheon Valley, Ma Hae-o-gaek Ju-bul and Ma Yeong-i-jo’s leader Cheon-yong welcomed Jeok-wol.

“Is everything okay?”

Jeokwol asked without even responding to the greeting.

“Everyone is tense as the advance of the Murim Alliance is drawing near.”

“I guess so. Did everyone come back?”

Jeokwol nodded and asked.

He asked about the retreat of the Maho Army and Ma-ryong Army, who had gone out into the world of martial arts to launch a surprise attack on the Murim Alliance.

“Yes. They all returned five days ago. Since then, the leaders of each clan have been discussing future plans with the leader every day.”

The Lord answered.

“Thank goodness, everyone is prepared.”

“Power is somewhat reduced.”

The decrease in power means that some of the demons of the Demon Alliance have fled to the outside world to avoid the full-scale attack of the Murim Alliance.

“Really? How much?”

“Not that many. Also, all the masters of the major sects are still there, so I don’t think there will be a major impact.”

The Lord Buddha spoke, adding his own judgment.

“That’s fortunate.”

“Would you like to go straight to the main battle?”

The Lord asked.

Then the red moon shook its head.

“I’m going to Cheonohro.”

“If it’s Cheonoroshi……?”

Joo-Bul asked with a puzzled expression.

“I’ll go see the Ice Palace Princess first. I brought her a pretty nice gift.”

Then Ju-bul looked behind Jeok-wol and said with a suspicious expression.

“I don’t think he’s here….”

This is said about half of the Honglimgwae.

Ju-bul was one of the few people who knew that the Ice Palace Lord was searching for Hong-rim-gwae’s four quarters through Jeok-wol.

“Because it was something that didn’t require anyone to come.”

“Was it something like that?”

Not needing people means that what the Ice Palace wants is not Sabansu, but something that Sabansu has.

It was a matter of not knowing until then.

“Well, you don’t need to know the details. Just go to Cheonoro.”

Jeokwol turned his gaze away from Jubul and looked at Mayoung Leejo’s leader Cheon Yong and said.

Now that he has returned to Sangcheon Valley, the escort of Jeokwol is assigned to Mayeong Ijo Cheon Yong, not Muyeong Oh Ma.

“I will serve you.”

Cheon-Yong answered.

Then he stood in front of the red moon and began to open the way.

The princess of the Ice Palace, Seolgeom Cho Seol-ro, was looking into the darkness from the Ice Palace residence of Cheon-o-ro, one of the five ridges of Baekmasan Mountain, the base of Ma-meng.

The news had already arrived.

One of the people who followed the new demon lord informed them of the new demon lord’s visit. However, it was not known whether the new demon lord had actually brought the person she wanted.

However, what makes her excited is that as soon as the new leader of the guild returns to the guild, he comes looking for her instead of the leader.

That most likely meant that he brought her a gift soon.

“Whew… Did you really find him?”

Cho Seol-ro let out a long sigh.

It was a sight you couldn’t see normally. She always had an expression as cold as ice. So even the people in Ma-Mang couldn’t even imagine joking with her.

“There’s no time. If I don’t bring him back this time, I think I’ll have to go back to the palace. Phew… If that happens, it’ll be the end of Mado. It’ll look like I’m running away right before the Great Battle of Jeongsa. Well… When has the Ice Palace ever been a proper Magic Palace? The Ice Palace is just an Ice Palace, not a Magic Palace or a proper Palace.”

Cho Seol-ro muttered softly as if trying to ease his tense mind.

This is also an appearance that does not suit her, who is usually quiet.

Just then a cautious voice was heard from outside the door.

“Your Majesty!”

“Are you here?”

Cho Seol-ro asked back.

“Yes.”

“Please bring it.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

After the person outside the door answered, silence fell again.

Cho Seol-ro got up from her seat, took a deep breath, walked towards the door, and opened it wide.

As usual, Jeokwol followed Hwandong and approached Choseolro’s room. The door to Choseolro was already wide open.

“Welcome.”

On the first day of the lunar year, I went outside the door and greeted the red moon.

“Your Majesty, it’s been a while!”

Jeokwol gave a light smile to Choseolro.

The moment he saw that smile, the tension disappeared from Chosulro’s face. He intuitively knew that things had gone well.

“This way…….”

Cho Seol-ro guided Jeok-wol more politely to the large study table placed in the center of his living quarters.

“Only my brother will remain and everyone else will wait outside! The princess too……”

The red moon looked at the snow road and demanded that people hand it over.

“Let’s do that.”

Cho Seol-ro answered and nodded while looking at the Ice Palace masters.

Then, the Ice Palace masters and the demons who followed Red Moon all disappeared outside the door.

Knock knock!

As Jeokwol sat down first, Chosul-ro closed the door and sat across from Jeokwol.

“Brother, are you sitting down too?”

When Jeokwol spoke while looking at Hwandong, Hwandong shook his head and answered.

“No, Lady Muyeong. I want to watch the mice play.”

Hwan-dong looked up at the ceiling and made a strange sound.

Then, Jeokwol looked at Choseol-ro indifferently.

A moment of confusion appeared on Chosulro’s face.

“I have placed people on the roof because I think there are people watching the palace’s movements. It seems like they didn’t hear the order to retreat. Everyone, please retreat.”

Cho Seol-ro raised her voice slightly and spoke looking at the ceiling.

Then, after a while, Hwan-dong sat down next to Jeok-wol with a gloomy expression.

“All the rats are gone, Lady Muyeong. It was fun…….”

“It’s time for everyone to go to sleep.”

The red moon answered.

Then Cho Seol-ro said with a serious expression.

“What a scary person. This guy called Hyungnim…….”

Cho Seol-ro’s gaze is turned towards Hwan-dong.

However, Hwan-dong seemed to have no interest in Cho-seol-ro at all. He just looked around Cho-seol-ro’s residence with a blank expression.

“You’re a scary person. When you get angry.”

The red moon answered.

“I thought no one would notice…….”

Cho Seol-ro spoke sincerely. It was a story about the guard warriors on the roof.

Then Jeokwol said with a serious expression.

“If we look at martial arts alone… he will compete with the best in the world.”

“To that extent…….”

“If the Ice Palace Lord sees you fight properly, he will feel fear. I guarantee it.”

Cho Seol-ro no longer questioned Jeokwol’s confidence. Instead, he spoke in an envious tone.

“You’re lucky to have someone like that by your side.”

“That’s right. It’s the greatest luck to me.”

“The other people who follow the Lord seem to be great too. Oh! And not just Mahamil.”

I’m talking about the Ma Youngs.

“You could say it’s all thanks to Master.”

This means that the Ma Youngs are the people of Honma Chang.

“Everyone is like that. The disciple becomes strong through the legacy of his master… and after a few generations, a powerful sect is born in the martial arts world.”

“Well, it’s not like we’re going to create a sect or anything…….”

Jeokwol said as if he was not interested.

“Did you find him?”

Cho Seol-ro abruptly changed the subject. It seemed that he had decided that the introduction was sufficient.

“I found it.”

“But you didn’t bring it.”

Cho Seol-ro said with a mixture of disappointment and skepticism.

“He refused to come.”

“If that’s the case… our deal would be in jeopardy. But I don’t understand. You didn’t bring him because he refused to come….”

No one can understand that the figures of the magic world, especially the new demon lord who actually controls the magic world, were unable to forcibly bring in even one member of the assembly.

“Well, since I heard what was needed, there was no need to bring someone who said no.”

“then……?”

Cho Seol-ro looked at the red moon with sparkling eyes.

This is an uncommon sight.

Jeokwol looked at Choseolro like that and took out a small piece of parchment from his bosom and handed it to Choseolro.

Cho Seol-ro quickly picked up the parchment. Then, he looked at the red moon once and then turned his gaze to the parchment.

“They said it might still be there. They also said that they marked the location roughly, but it was up to the Ice Palace to find it.”

Jeokwol said as he looked at Choseolro, who was lost in the parchment.

“Where is this place?”

“Baekduyo.”

“Baekdu… It’s not that far from the Ice Palace.”

“Do you plan on going yourself, Your Majesty?”

Jeokwol asked seriously.

“Of course… Ah!”

Suddenly, Cho Seol-ro let out a sigh. He quickly realized that it wasn’t as simple a problem as he had thought.

“You may want to go yourself, but there are two problems.”

Jeokwol spoke calmly and coolly.

“One problem is certain. If I leave the Demonic Cult now, I will be branded as an eternal traitor to the Demonic Cult.”

Cho Seol-ro said calmly.

“Can you handle it?”

The Mado are not a group that demands loyalty or sacrifices that will determine the survival of the sect. They are a group that moves according to profit and, when necessary, forces sacrifices from other comrades in order to survive.

However, the Ice Palace is a sect that is difficult to move according to such magical behavior. To that extent, the Ice Palace is a sect that has left a big mark on the history of martial arts.

Even though he was a magician, the honor of the Ice Palace, which was no less than that of a prestigious school, could be reduced to a cowardly one with a single choice.

“I can handle a little criticism. However… the problem is that I can’t keep my promise to the Lord.”

Cho Seol-ro said.

“Of course, that is also a problem. In fact, I am in dire need of the princess’s help right now.”

For a moment, Cho Seol-ro’s eyes wavered.

It seemed that he was more concerned about not being able to meet Jeokwol’s expectations than about betraying Ma-Meng.

“Are you planning to catch me?”

“No. I have no intention of capturing the princess because of my circumstances. It’s a shame, but I’m more worried about something else.”

“Is there anything else I should be concerned about?”

“Wouldn’t the princess’s movements attract people’s attention?”

“Well… ah.”

Once again, Cho Seol-ro sighed as if he realized something.

The parchment that Jeokwol brought had a picture of a place where paradise flowers were. Cho Seol-ro, who was excited by this fact, was losing his composure unlike usual.

So, a very simple problem, she was overlooking the problems that would arise if she left Ma-Mang and went to Baekdu instead of going to the Ice Palace.

If there is anyone watching her movements, her path to Baekdu will be fully known.

Furthermore, if they found out that the purpose was to achieve paradise, the martial arts world might even postpone the Jeongsa Daejeon and hundreds of top masters might chase after the Ice Palace Master in search of paradise.

In the world of martial arts, the value of records that could instantly improve one’s martial arts skills was fearsome.

“I guess… I’ll have to send someone else.”

“Is there anyone you can trust?”

The red moon asked.

“It may not be as easy as going myself, but there are people I can trust.”

“Then that’s fortunate.”

The red moon said.

Then, Cho Seol-ro thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“And I think it would be best if I never left this place.”

“But wouldn’t it be better to return to the Ice Palace first? After obtaining the Paradise Flower, shouldn’t the Princess be there to treat the previous Ice Palace Lord?”

“No. That would only arouse suspicion. In fact, the fact that I am trying to find the Paradise Flower and awaken Master is a secret that only a few people in the Ice Palace know.”

“Huh… What on earth is going on in the Ice Palace?”

It is a question that breaks the taboo of martial arts.

Asking about the secrets of other sects so directly was no different from provocation.

But Jeokwol couldn’t help but ask.

I couldn’t understand why a powerful martial arts master like Dae-Jeong Binggungju was being so cautious.

There was no reason to hide the effort to awaken the previous princess. The existence of the Paradise Flower had to be kept a secret.

Although Jeokwol’s question was rude, Binggungju Choseolro did not get angry. Choseolro had already obtained the position of Paradise Flower through Jeokwol. It seemed that he thought this level of rudeness was natural.

“Since you have given me such a great gift, I will explain my circumstances. I don’t think I am the type of person to relay the message to anyone else.”

“Thank you for thinking so.”

The red moon bowed its head slightly.

“Your Majesty the Grand Princess has a disciple. He is my private tutor, and his name is Han Cheon-geom Mogul.”

“Hancheon Sword Mogul… I haven’t heard of his name before, so he must not have been active in the martial arts world?”

“That’s right. Even during the Seven Horse Rebellion, I didn’t come out to the world of martial arts. The reason was that I committed a big mistake and was punished by my master to be exiled for thirty years. But that thirty-year period will soon end. If he comes out after his exile, I can’t predict what he will do.”

“Well… but first of all, worrying about the person who is trapped….”

It was something incomprehensible.

If you were that worried, they might not have let you out of the closed room.

It is a basic principle for anyone running a large sect, regardless of whether it is a political or religious one, to nip the danger in the bud. It was not something to be bound by the promise of a thirty-year closure.

“It’s not that simple. In fact, there are people in the palace who follow him. They are people that I, as the princess, have difficulty controlling. And in their eyes, I don’t seem to be suitable as a princess. That’s why I’m thinking of making him the princess when Sa-suk comes out of retirement.”

“Can’t we get rid of them?”

“If you try too hard, you can eliminate them. To be honest, I’m preparing for that. But if that happens, the Ice Palace will have to be prepared to lose more than five percent of its power. No, there might not be many survivors. That’s why we need you, Master. If you wake up, the Ice Palace can buy time, and while you’re here, I can become the complete princess of the Ice Palace. Of course, if you’re still alive, even my secret will not dare to think otherwise.”

Cho Seol-ro ended the story with a gloomy expression.

Perhaps she felt ashamed of having exposed the corruption of the Ice Palace and of not yet becoming the perfect princess of the Ice Palace.

“So they shouldn’t know about the existence of the paradise flower?”

“That’s right. In fact, they don’t even know where Master is sleeping. In this situation, if I go back to the Ice Palace and go to Master’s dormant residence, who knows what they might do.”

“Phew… But having to leave all that work to someone else….”

Sending someone to Baekdu to find the paradise flower and finding the paradise flower and awakening the wish of the fairy tale are two different things.

Even a small mistake could have cost him the paradise and killed Hee-won.

“Don’t worry. There are people who can do that job for you. Of course, I can’t tell you who they are right now. This job is…….”

At that moment, Jeokwol raised his hand.

“Okay. I don’t want to hear that much either. It’s not a good thing to know too much about other people’s business.”

“Thank you for thinking so.”

“Anyway, if you stay here, it will be a great help to me.”

“But how do you plan on stopping the Murim Alliance’s offensive?”

“Well… isn’t that something the leader of the Ma-Meng should be worried about, not me?”

Cho Seol-ro smiled brightly at Jeokwol’s question.

“Is there anyone who doesn’t know that the affairs of the Ma-Meng are decided by the new Ma-Ryeong-Ju, not the leader?”

“Yes. In fact, I would like to ask for your help in that matter. Since you have told me the secrets of the Ice Palace, I think I can trust you now. So I would like to ask for your help in my secret fight.”

Jeokwol looked at Choseolro, whose face was full of questions, and spoke politely.
