Chapter Index

    *** ***

    After receiving the leader’s letter, I and the relief team quickly returned to the Murim Alliance.

    The road back to the Murim Alliance.

    I could immediately feel how famous my companions and I had become.

    “It’s a rainy carriage!”

    “Noegeomnangin has appeared!”

    This was because every time we passed through the city of Hanam, a cloud of people who recognized the Bicheon carriage gathered there.

    As we got closer to the Murimmaeng, the schedule was delayed due to the increasing crowds, so the relief team and we had to choose to stay in the open instead of staying in guesthouses in the city.

    “Hehehe!”

    And because of such fame, Dang Do-yeon’s joy was sky-high.

    “That’s the rumored raincoach?”

    “It’s the fastest carriage in the world!”

    “Hahaha! Did you hear?”

    This was because the Bicheon carriage was evaluated as the fastest carriage in the world.

    Because of that, only I and my companions felt like dying.

    Dang Do-yeon has always encountered only negative perceptions about Bicheonmacha.

    The compliment that it was the fastest carriage in the world was a compliment that could literally make Dang Do-yeon dance.

    “I want to show them the true speed of a raincoat in front of them!”

    …Dang Do-yeon’s joy was directly related to the speed of the raincoat.

    “Don’t forget that you are with the relief team!”

    “There are a lot of people, so you need to take extra care of safety in preparation for unexpected situations!”

    The popularity of Bicheonmacha turned the road back to the Murimmaeng into a journey of desperately trying to appease Dang Do-yeon, who was grumbling because he wanted to run away at any moment.

    “Kuhuhuhuhu!”

    The Murimmaeng arrived nervously listening to Dang Do-yeon’s laughter, which made her feel as if she was about to burst out laughing, waving her gag at any moment.

    “Welcome.”

    When I arrived at the Murim Alliance, what I immediately encountered was the Murim Lord Yeon Cheon-Baek, who was as devastated as I was, suffering from a nervous breakdown and wondering if he cared about Dang Do-Yeon the whole time.

    Murim lord Yeon Cheon-baek.

    His fatigue seemed considerable, but in a way it was only natural.

    Before the Blood Cult incident, the only activities the Murim League did despite its grandiose name were promoting friendship and holding secret martial arts competitions.

    And Yeon Cheon-baek was the perfect person for such a moderate event.

    Since Yeon Cheon-baek is suddenly in charge of an all-out war against the blood religion that encompasses the entire martial arts world, he will naturally feel pressured in many ways.

    However, this did not mean that Yeon Cheon-baek was untrustworthy.

    It is the Murim Alliance, which is comprised of a variety of clans. Even if the current situation had not been taken into consideration when electing a leader, no one would have been elected as a leader.

    Regardless of his or her inclination, he is a person with sufficient ability to carry out the position of leader.

    “Recapture of Bothamun, thank you for your hard work.”

    “It’s all thanks to the Murim League’s relief team supporting us.”

    “Hehe, words of humility. Since the face is half like this, you can get a good idea of how fierce the battle with the saber-toothed tiger was.”

    …I couldn’t bring myself to say it was because of Dang Do-yeon, so I just slightly lowered my head.

    Maengju, who looked at me with friendly eyes, immediately got to the point.

    “The reason I urgently called you here is to take the offensive against the group of blood cultists.”

    “I’ve heard rumors. How many strongholds of blood religion have been revealed?”

    “That’s right. So, this group is going to investigate one of those bases.”

    Maengju unfolded the map and pointed to a place.

    “We have determined that this is the most suitable location for investigation. This is because among the spirits that have been revealed so far, there is a badger spirit that has poor combat power.”

    It is necessary to attack the stronghold of the blood religion.

    It is an opportunity to kill spirits, and since it is a base, there will be information that can be obtained.

    At the same time, it was also dangerous.

    Since it is the enemy’s base, it must be well prepared for defense.

    “Many experts will be mobilized for this attack.”

    Yeon Cheon-baek must have had that in mind as well and soon expressed his support.

    “The current Murim Alliance is home to renowned masters from each sect. The Shaolin Temple’s eighteen Nahan Master Haeyul, the Shaman’s Taegeuk Swordsman, and other famous monks whose names you can immediately recognize. To ensure a safe investigation, ten Hwa-gyeong experts have decided to join the existing relief team.”

    “Oh.”

    It’s a really big investment.

    In fact, the strength of the rescue team was truly incredible.

    Not only did it include many transcendental masters, but Mo Yong-seo and Feng Yong-daeju were also flower bead masters.

    Twelve Hwagyeong experts were mobilized for this base investigation.

    From the perspective of the factions belonging to the Murim Alliance, it only adds a little strength, but when that small amount of power is gathered into the Murim Alliance, it becomes an overwhelming force.

    This is the fear of the Murim Alliance and the reason why I joined hands with the Murim Alliance.

    “Would you please help me too?”

    “Of course.”

    I nodded without hesitation.

    *** ***

    The appearance of the investigation team was truly spectacular.

    Old file room.

    Shaolin school. Non-partisan. Volcanic waves. Amifa. Cheongseong faction. Cheomsangpa. Kunlun faction. Jongnam faction. Haenam faction. And open.

    Five generations.

    Sacheondanga, Namgung family. Hwang Bose. The Jegal family and the Mo Yong family.

    Among the nine families, one master of flower painting from each region joined, excluding Jeomchang and Gaejeong, and among the five major families, one master of flower painting from the Namgung family and the Hwangbo family joined.

    Daeju Pung Yeong and Mo Yong-seo, who were previously together.

    And if you include Hyeok Kirin, who was originally a member of the Jeomchang faction, all the Hwagyeong masters of the Gupa Ilbang and the Five Daes families, excluding the Open and Zhuge families, were all part of the survey team.

    It was a staff composition that was truly heart-warming.

    As if I wasn’t the only one whose heart was pounding, the morale of the investigation team skyrocketed after the Hwagyeong experts joined.

    The group also seemed excited.

    Now that I have been able to see the moves performed by the famous Gupailbang and Hwagyeong masters of the Five Dynasties, it is only natural for me as a warrior to be excited.

    “ Wow, really, since there were 13 Hwakyung masters gathered together, the energy around them was strangely distorted, and it was truly a sight I had never seen before?”

    “Hehe, it would have been more spectacular if the ambassador had joined.”

    “It is enough for me to be in the raincoat with Seogong.”

    Hyeok Kirin smiled and stroked Seo Gong, who was lying limp on his lap.

    Seogong, who had been on a carriage ever since joining the Murim League, seemed to have adapted to carriage life and was hanging out like a glutinous rice cake, wagging his tail.

    He’s a smart guy, so he might have realized that there was nothing good going on outside.

    “Anyway, I feel reassured. Actually, when dealing with the saber-toothed tiger, other people did their best, but I felt a little uneasy.”

    At Yeo Il-ye’s remarks, my companions and I also nodded.

    To be honest, there were many quite dangerous moments when the blood people rushed at each other like a lion. There were more than one attack that was narrowly blocked by the roof tiles of the Great Lord of Pungyeong.

    On the other hand, this raid team was able to not only completely block the attacks of blood people, but also receive help in the decisive battle with spirits, so I couldn’t help but feel at ease.

    I leaned back against the backrest and closed my eyes.

    Sometimes you have to have an easy journey.

    *** ***

    Many angles. Many angles.

    The investigation team was all traveling by carriage.

    Among the masters belonging to the investigation team, there were many who could be recognized just by looking at their faces, so moving by light or on horseback was the same as notifying the blood cult that they were about to attack.

    Mo Yong Yeon-hwa looked at the non-cheon carriage belonging to the middle row, leaving her body to the shaking of the carriage.

    Now that even its appearance has become famous, the exterior has been newly decorated and has become unfamiliar, but what is important to Moyong Yeonhwa is not the appearance of the raincoat, but the people riding inside it.

    Hocheonan.

    Moyong Yeonhwa’s feelings became complicated when she remembered Hocheonan.

    When in Botamun.

    I thought this anxious feeling that was pounding in my heart right now was worry.

    The Five Marches defeated the saber-toothed tiger by a narrow margin, and Ho Cheon-an thought that if the Five Marches continued to run like this, they would be in danger someday.

    What should I do if Hocheonan and his companions get seriously injured?

    Wouldn’t it be better for the safety of the Hocheonan Grand Association if I joined and expanded the training camp?

    With that thought in mind, I hovered around Ho Cheon-an and his group.

    And after seeing the investigation team’s face, Mo Yong-yeon-hwa realized that there was no need to worry about Ho Cheon-an’s safety in the future.

    Is there no martial arts team or expert in the Murim League?

    As if to prove this, the Murim Alliance safely protected the five marches carried out by Ho Cheon-an and his party, and also attached many fire fighters to deal with the spirits together.

    So, I thought I wouldn’t be upset anymore.

    I had no idea how my heart was hurting so much.

    Moyong Yeonhwa pressed her chest.

    Nevertheless, the pain in my heart showed no signs of being relieved, so I just smiled bitterly.

    ‘What on earth do I want to do?’

    Haven’t you been working hard to finish the work of Shaanseobunta, even putting your relationship with Hocheonan on the back burner?

    However, I made up my mind, but when I met Ho Cheon-an and received the title of Yook Sung-jin, who could be with Ho Cheon-an, there was no way to control my agitated mind.

    Moyong Yeonhwa looked back at the people who were riding in the same carriage. Most of the people riding the carriage were from Shaanxi Bunta.

    Applicants who want to restore the family’s honor that was ruined by their mistakes and their own actions.

    “So, when raising the mine beams, they must be raised in a certain order to properly support the mine shaft.”

    “I see.”

    After listening to the conversation between Mo Yong Seok-jil and Mo Yong-mo, who could feel the will to rebuild Shaanseobunta, Mo Yong-yeon-hwa consoled herself.

    The Hyeolgyo is in the midst of acting like a demon and spreading evil spirits throughout the martial arts world. And at the center of dealing with the blood religion was Ho Cheon-an, and Mo Yong Yeon-hwa herself had to help Ho Cheon-an and block the blood religion’s ambitions.

    It was time to do our best for the reconstruction of Shaanseobunta and for the well-being of the martial arts group.

    In a time like this, where is romance even possible?

    ‘Okay, when it’s all over…then…’.

    Mo Yong-mo and Mo Yong-seok-jil, who had stopped talking at some point, were looking at Mo Yong-yeon-hwa, but Mo-yong Yeon-hwa, who was too busy controlling her own mind, did not notice their gaze and was only looking at the sky.
