*** ***

After I finished disposing of the body and hiding Cheolhyeolseo, the first place I went was the inn where Mo Yongseo was staying.

This was because it was judged urgent to share the situation with the immediate descendants of the Mo Yong family.

Coincidentally, when I visited Mo Yong-seo, Mo Yong-hwa and Mo Yong-chan-gyeong, who had finished inspecting the mine, were also talking to Mo Yong-seo.

“You decided to have a secret party?”

“Yes. That’s why I came here to visit my uncle.”

I heard about what happened in the mine through Mo Yong-yeon-hwa’s mouth.

Mo Yong-mo believed that the people of Bunta would change their minds after witnessing the actual conditions of the mine.

But who would have thought that the inspection of the mine would really lead to a conflict of opinion between the Bunta state and its affiliates.

I was hoping for such a situation, but I thought it was realistically impossible.

Or is it that the dissatisfaction of collateral circles, which had been building up while keeping it strictly secret, was triggered by this incident?

Maybe it was both.

“How did you figure out their number?”

“…Yes.”

I told a lightly adapted version of the story. It seemed too suspicious that Sanghyeulseo was listening to me, so I changed that part to say that Sanghyeolseo was too tired and unmotivated.

“No way…!”

Of course, the three people showed off their pride.

After hearing the shocking news, Mo Yong-seo held his forehead and was silent for a while.

I might have expected that Bunta was up to something bad, but what Bunta was planning was the worst situation I could have imagined, so I guess I was very shocked.

“…Uncle. Wasn’t this situation already prepared for?”

Mo Yong-seo, who had aged dramatically in less than half an angle, nodded.

“Okay…measures…we have to come up with measures…”

Mo Yong Yeonhwa, who was looking at Mo Yong Seo, turned her head towards me.

“Daehyeop. Thank you for your hard work. And…thank you.”

“..I have things to be thankful for.”

Mo Yong-seo shook his head with a tired expression.

“No. What Yeonhwa said is correct. If you had revealed to the Martial Arts that you were involved in a blood religion, you could have truly become a hero of the Martial Arts. How can I not express my gratitude to you for shaking off that temptation and prioritizing your promise to us?

I smiled bitterly as I saw the three people stand up and start waving.

Reveal the secrets of the blood religion.

The three of us thought that I could choose that option, but in reality, I was not in a position to do so.

If this matter becomes public, the entire situation will be thoroughly investigated.

If that happens, it will be revealed that the Sanghyeulseo is following me, and there will be a detailed investigation into how information was obtained from the Sanghyeolseo.

I also had no way of knowing why the Iron Blood Book listened to me and did not become hostile.

I can only guess that it might be because of my maternal bloodline.

It was obvious what would happen if you declared, ‘Half of my blood belongs to the blood religion’ in front of people whose eyes were red because of the blood religion.

I, too, had hoped that this matter would be resolved relatively quietly at the hands of the Mo Yong family, but since I could not clearly state the reason, I made up an all-purpose excuse.

“It was obvious that if it was made public that Shaanseobunta was involved in a blood religion, there would be bloodshed in Bunta. How could my brother-in-law, Mo Yong-mo, do such a thing even though I fully know that he is innocent?”

“Huh…! You value relationships more than fame…! A true grand alliance!”

…Mo Yong-seo’s eyes, as if he was touched by my words, trembled mercilessly.

“No matter how the current situation turns out, I promise in the name of Mo Yong-seo that the Mo Yong-seo family will be on the side of the Daehyup!”

“…Thank you.”

After unintentionally establishing a strong relationship of trust with the immediate descendants of the Mo Yong family, he began formulating full-scale countermeasures.

“The most moderate solution…will also be a decision.”

Mo Yong-seo nodded at Mo Yong-yeon-hwa’s opinion.

“We must win in the battle… We must shake up the Bunta and weed out those who are truly in cahoots with the clan.”

I also agreed with Mo Yong-seo’s opinion.

It is important to weed out those who are in cahoots with the clan, but if they are defeated in battle, the picture becomes strange.

Because the structure is as if the direct lineage was defeated by the collateral lineage and resorted to unreasonable force.

Collaterals also end up in a position where they have no choice but to take the side of the seniors because they have achieved results.

If you lose in a match, there is a high possibility that things will get messy no matter how things go.

So, if you play a competition, you must win…

“Can you win?”

From my perspective, Bimu’s chances of winning were not high.

First of all, the confrontation between Mo Yong Chan-gyeong and Mo Yong Seok-jil, which can be said to be the ultimate confrontation.

Having seen the two men several times, I could well guess the outcome of this match.

There was a very high chance that Mo Yong Chan-gyeong would lose in the first match.

Martial arts learned by a direct lineage are probably more advanced than martial arts learned by a collateral lineage, but honestly, at the peak level, it is not an overwhelming advantage.

On the other hand, the age gap between the two is clear.

In the first place, Mo Yong Chan-kyung had not yet reached the age of his contract. A two-year age difference is a big gap in an age that can be said to be a growth period.

There is another element of anxiety.

Mo Yong Seok-jil, whom I saw and experienced, had a very strong propensity for pro-buntaju, so he might even be able to learn the percussion technique of the blood religion in a week.

Next is Moyong Yeonhwa.

As expected of the late Jisoo who represents the Moyong family, he is at the peak of his maturity, but even so, will he be able to deal with the elites who have trained the martial arts of the blood religion?

It was something that could not be judged easily.

Mo Yong-seo could at least say that victory was certain.

Moyongjingaek is the beginning of flower scenery, and Moyongseo is flower scenery that has reached the stage of maturity.

Even if we use that secret technique, it would be a difficult gap to overturn.

Even if Mo Yong-seo were sure to score, one of the two would have to win… but the prospects weren’t particularly good.

“We have to win.”

Moyong Yeonhwa said with a determined expression.

“Winning the match is the only way to minimize damage.”

“I see.”

That was definitely true.

Anyway, there was no other way than to win the battle. It would be the right decision to put aside all unnecessary worries and increase the odds of winning even a little.

“At least once I have seen the martial arts of the blood religion. I wonder if I can be of some help…”

“Thank you for your help.”

one week.

Special training to prepare for the fight with Shamanseo Bunta has begun.

*** ***

“I will teach Chankyung a special move that can turn the game over. Daehyeop helps Yeonhwa’s training.”

“Okay.”

Mo Yong-seo and I took on the roles of Mo Yong-yeon-hwa and Mo Yong-chan-gyeong, respectively.

Mo Yong-seo’s expression showed that he was about to pass on the secret season, even if it was not allowed yet, to his direct descendants, so wouldn’t it be okay to look forward to it?

Anyway, I have to do everything I can.

I also faced Moyong Yeonhwa to teach her about the martial arts of blood religion.

“First, can you show me your skills?”

“Of course.”

Slurp!

Moyong Yeonhwa drew her sword and took a stance.

A characteristic posture that allows you to immediately recognize it as the cardinal method of Paedo Ilhwigeom.

Mo Yong-se.

In fact, the Moyong family, which had its place of residence in Liaoning, was a family so far away from the center of the Central Plains that it should be classified as a new power family based on distance alone.

As such, it adopted a unique martial arts system that was different from the general martial arts of the Jungwon martial arts.

“Do you know about your family’s martial arts skills?”

“Of course. Paedo Ilhwigeom and Banyeonmuwolgeom. Let’s take a look.”

Mo Yong Yeon-hwa nodded and rushed over immediately.

Mo Yong-yeon-hwa’s momentum of closing the distance without hesitation was so subversive that it was hard to believe that she was a slender woman.

A fierce force, as if a tiger was leaping up and attacking me.

An attack containing the essence of Paedo Ilhwigeom fell.

Wow!!

Even after raising the sword to block the first attack, Moyong Yeonhwa’s attacks continued. The sword that came with the force of splitting the top of my head changed its direction and cleverly aimed at my side and shot out like a fang.

Great link.

As expected, I nodded my head inwardly at the succession of lines that continued so neatly that the words “posthumous index of a famous family” naturally popped into my head.

Wow!!

I intentionally allowed a few attacks and received Moyongyeonhwa’s attacks, and then I strongly responded to Moyongyeonhwa’s subsequent attacks.

The flow of the offensive is cut off and my sword extends through the gap.

Moyong Yeonhwa’s eyes lit up when she realized that I was going to go on the offensive, and her posture changed in an instant.

My sword, which was thrown with strong sword power, and Mo Yong Yeon Hwa’s sword collided.

And that moment.

Let’s go!!

My sword deviated from its path and did little more than scratch Mo Yong Yeon Hwa’s sword face.

This was because my sword path was distorted according to the logic of the fire grafting manifested by the Half Smoke Moon Sword.

Instantaneously switching between martial arts with completely different properties and using them as if they were one martial arts.

That was the martial arts pursued by the Mo Yong Sega and at the same time, it was the season of the Mo Yong Sega.

I felt with my body the technique of Moyong Yeonhwa’s Half Smoke Moon Sword, which completely changed the path of my sword, and strengthened my arms by recalling in my mind the traces of the method left in the training hall.

The power of the magic trick, which can be inferred from the traces, was greater than the attack I used just now.

Kwaang!!

“Ugh!”

Mo Yong Yeon-hwa, shocked by my sword strike, stepped back. This was because I was unable to completely resolve the sudden attack of my sword.

“You have to hold on. Since the opponent has learned the martial arts of blood religion, he will try to subdue Yeonhwa and end the fight before any suspicious signs are revealed. To do so, you will probably use a means of triggering the body or energy.”

Mo Yong Yeon-hwa looked at her trembling arm and bit her lip.

In fact, the blow I struck had more power than the traces engraved on the training ground.

It can be said that it is a harsh attack for the current Mo Yong-yeonhwa to receive, but…

Considering that it is a secret art of the blood religion, it would be necessary to be able to sufficiently counter this to gain an advantage over the leading figures.

Mo Yong-yeon-hwa calmed down her trembling right arm by squeezing it with her left arm and then took up the jockey ceremony again.

“Again, please.”

I nodded as I watched Mo Yong Yeon Hwa burning her will.

Because showing fighting spirit was a positive sign.

“Then I will go.”

My sword was aimed at Moyong Yeonhwa again.
