Chapter Index

    “Hahaha, what a pleasant day it is.”

    “That’s right.”

    “I was full of worries because I heard that there were some among the forces in Yunnan who were collaborating with the new religion, but now that the sects and experts representing Yunnan are friendly to the new religion, I am truly at ease! Hahahaha!!”

    “Huh. her. Huh.”

    “ Since I was with Sojeo Lee Seol, I wasn’t worried about the relationship with Amryongmun, but I was actually very worried about Trench House’s actions. But since things worked out so well, isn’t this Hongbok of Wulin? Since Master Munju of Sabokseol will be on the side of Protestantism in peace, it will be a great help in uniting the Yunnan forces.”

    Ak Kyung-cheol’s laughter cracked.

    okay. Are you saying that among the factions led by Yunnan county police officers, only that faction is in danger of leaving?

    I sighed and made a sad expression.

    “Actually, I had a lot of worries before I came to Yunnan. I was wondering what to do if there was a sect that actively cooperated with the blood religion.”

    “Huh, huh…there is no way such a sect exists, but if there was such a sect, how do you think Shingyo would have behaved?”

    I opened my mouth, putting on a bitter expression.

    “It’s a pity, but he must have met a terrible end in order to set an example for his blood cult collaborators. It would have been difficult to leave behind even a cornerstone of a sect.”

    I could feel Ak Kyung-cheol’s neck moving slightly.

    It looks like the saliva is drying up.

    “Hehe, just imagining it is a sad thing. In fact, if they had known that the Heavenly Demon Church would rise up and shake off, would that sect have made that choice? It’s absolutely unfair.”

    “Hahaha! That’s right. Aren’t you so glad that something like that didn’t happen?”

    Oh, I can hear it. I can hear it.

    The sound of scales moving in real time was in Ak Kyung-cheol’s mind.

    As I looked at Ak Gyeong-cheol, who was pounding away at the abacus like hot cakes in his head, I opened my eyes wide and looked around as if I had finally noticed.

    Then he brought his face close to Ak Gyeong-cheol and whispered.

    “Oops, I was so insensitive that I was late to notice.”

    Ak Gyeong-cheol, who was deep in calculations, looked at me with puzzled eyes.

    “It seems that among Lord Moon’s acquaintances, there are some who have joined hands with the blood religion, right?”

    Ak Kyung-cheol opened his eyes wide.

    This was kind of a variation of ‘This is a story about a friend of mine…’

    This is a method of leading a conversation by creating an imaginary friend who does not exist even though it is clearly one’s own story. It was literally blindfolded and blindfolded, but there was no tactic as useful as this in a situation where they were fighting each other.

    “That’s right…! In fact, it could be said that that faction had no choice.”

    “ Cancer. I understand everything. Since there was an atmosphere where one had to choose between the Murim Alliance and the Blood Cult, there may have been some factions that were pushed by that atmosphere and made the wrong choice.”

    As I sighed and nodded, Ak Kyung-cheol’s face lit up. However, Ak Gyeong-cheol’s expression of life soon became awkward because I had a shocked expression on his face.

    “Mmm. Lord Ak Gyeong-cheol feels sorry for that clan, but to be honest, from our perspective, how can we trust that clan? In the end, isn’t it true that he took the lead in cooperating with the blood religion?”

    “Wow, this person is frustrating… As you said, there was a reason for that.”

    Well, after being humiliated by Rano Jingbu, the front yard of the clan was devastated by the commotion that took place in Okgye, and all public support was lost, so should we acknowledge that it is an unavoidable situation to want to make up for that loss somewhere?

    It was an unreasonable thing to say, but instead of snorting, I closed my eyes and crossed my arms, pretending to be deeply troubled.

    “No matter how much you think about it, it would be difficult to turn a blind eye to a sect that joined hands with a sect. However…there are no numbers at all.”

    “What do you mean? I will listen.”

    “If Xingyo is in Yunnan, there is no choice but to make it popular, so we have to make Yunnan popular.”

    Ak Kyung-cheol’s eyes opened wide.

    “If he had a deep relationship with a blood religion, he would have intimate information. I will do my best only if Shingyo provides me with information that can help me attack Yunnan.”

    Ah, I hear it again.

    The sound of Ak Kyung-cheol’s head spinning.

    What is the worst situation from Ak Kyung-cheol’s perspective?

    While the Heavenly Demon God Religion was staying in Yunnan, its connection with the Blood Religion was revealed. If that happens, you will not only be targeted by the Cheonma, but you will also be subject to the combined efforts of the pro-Cheonma forces.

    It is truly a betrayal that you have no choice but to suffer without even being able to stretch out your hands or feet.

    On the other hand, what if the Heavenly Demon God Cult, having received important information from the Blood Cult, leaves Yunnan?

    You can buy time to conceal your connection with the blood religion or avoid a situation where an invincible Heavenly Demon attacks you.

    And from Ak Kyeong-cheol’s point of view, if we were to turn the circuit of hope, a variable that could solve the current problem might arise in the process of fighting between the Blood Cult and the Heavenly Demon Cult.

    Well, in exchange, the relationship with the blood religion will be completely severed… but wouldn’t it be better to avoid the danger of being killed right away?

    Ak Kyung-cheol opened his mouth in a subdued tone, as if he had reached the same conclusion as I expected.

    “Actually, there is information that an acquaintance of mine gave me…”

    “I will listen.”

    Ak Gyeong-cheol’s actions of putting his lips close to my ear were a bit uncomfortable, as it was not enough to subtly reveal that the information was quite important, but I endured it while thinking about the information I was about to receive.

    “I heard that the headquarters of the blood religion is Xi’an.”

    What Ak Kyung-cheol said was nothing short of surprising.

    “The blood religion has been holding hands with the Mosan faction for a long time.”

    also.

    Ak Kyung-cheol said he believed it.

    *** ***

    The Heavenly Demon Church suddenly appeared in Wulin.

    Everyone in the world was paying close attention to the actions of the Heavenly Demon Church.

    What will happen in Yunnan, where the Heavenly Demon Church is headed?

    Most people expected bloody and bloody events. In the end, the Heavenly Demon Church’s actions were intended to subdue Yunnan.

    However, the news delivered from Yunnan was completely different from what people expected.

    Many of the sects in Yunnan, led by Trench Hodang and Amryongmun, made friendly declarations toward the Heavenly Demon Church, and no horrendous bloodshed occurred, and rumors about the actions shown by the Heavenly Demon and the status of Wei Ji-cheon, who overwhelmingly overpowered the military officer of Xuan-gyeong, were not heard. It spread widely.

    The world began to shake at the news.

    The Sa sect factions that supported blood religion first began to disintegrate.

    Most of the Safa factions that supported the Blood Religion were those who wanted to eliminate the thorny faction of the political faction with the spiritual legacy of the Blood Religion on their backs.

    Will Sapa get criticized for being faithless for no reason?

    Most of them joined hands with the Blood Cult just because they wanted to jump on the bandwagon and take easy profits, so they backed off without hesitation the moment the enemy’s capabilities called the Heavenly Demon Cult were proven.

    As the support of the blood religion was shaken by the actions of the Heavenly Demon Church, the one that felt the most relieved was the Murim Alliance.

    “Reinforcements from Hebei Panga were canceled.”

    “It is said that the counterattack by the advancing forces in Guangdong was also successful.”

    “It is said that the wolf spirit of Shandong has disappeared.”

    The faces of the Murim League’s schemers were wide open as good news rained down from all directions. Yeon Cheon-baek, who looked at the faces of those treacherous men, recalled Ho Cheon-an’s letter that he had received yesterday.

    ‘There is a stronghold of the Blood Cult in Xi’an, and the Mosan faction has joined hands with the Blood Cult for a long time…’

    Why did the Mosan faction, a historic political faction, join hands with Hyeokyo?

    The word traitor weighed on Yeon Cheon-baek’s heart.

    Yeon Cheon Baek also had some doubts.

    Even though a considerable amount of time had passed since the power of the Blood Cult began to stir, the stronghold of the Blood Cult had not been identified.

    Unless someone from among the factions that joined the Murim Alliance intentionally concealed information, it was impossible to even catch the tail.

    Yeon Cheon-baek thought as he looked at the treacherous tricksters and warriors. Since the stronghold of the blood religion was revealed, it was necessary to launch an all-out attack, but if that happened, the fact that the Mosan faction had betrayed the Murim Alliance would be revealed to the Murim Alliance factions.

    Of course, the Mosan faction will vehemently deny it, and while the Blood Cult will find out that their stronghold has been discovered, the power of the Murim Alliance will not be easily gathered.

    This was because the opinions of each faction were bound to be divided in a situation where the Mosan faction was attacked without accurate proof that the Mosan faction was a traitor.

    “As the leader, I will command you.”

    That’s why Yeon Cheon-baek made a decision.

    “We will launch an all-out offensive against the spirits currently spread throughout the world.”

    The eyes of the strategists focused on Yeon Cheon-baek.

    “Give instructions to the entire Murim League faction. I’m telling you to tightly tie down the spirits that are spread all over the place.”

    “Yes!”

    If you can’t be the main gong, shouldn’t you at least help the main gong? Yeon Cheon-baek decided that the best the current Murim Alliance could do was to prevent the blood religion, which was feeling threatened, from summoning spirits to its base.

    Looking at Maengjujeon, which suddenly became bustling, Yeon Cheon-baek thought of Ho Cheon-an. They were moving with the Heavenly Demon Church and were probably moving toward Xi’an at this moment.

    ‘In the end, I’ll have no choice but to bet on you.’

    I hope you win.

    Yeon Cheon-baek took up the brush and prayed for good fortune.

    There was a mountain of work he had to do in order to capture spirits from all over the world.
