Chapter Index

    *** ***

    The moment Dokgo Yeongcheon heard Hocheonan’s request, he could not help but be shocked.

    In order to diminish Geum Myeong-wol’s popularity, please spread the rumor that Geum Myeong-wol is the Hyuk Kirin of the Jeom Chang faction.

    A vicious idea that even the leader of Sapa could not help but be horrified by!

    Are Ho Cheon-an and Hyuk Kirin normal? He was a person who could be said to be a close friend who worked with him to subdue bandits in Sichuan Province and even went to the imperial court together for his actions.

    So what is your relationship with the Jeomchang faction? At the time, it was not well known what Ho Cheon-an did in the Jeomchang sect, but from that point on, his martial arts skills, which had been stagnant, rose explosively, so it was not difficult to infer that he had been practicing martial arts in some way in the Jeomchang sect.

    But just because Haw So-wol is so popular, Hyeok-ki-rin and the Jeom-chang faction came up with a plan that could put them in trouble and tried to implement it?

    To Dokgo Yeongcheon, who could not even dream that Hwang Sowol was Hyeok Kirin, he could not help but feel that Ho Cheonan was a devil wearing a sword.

    How can I casually sacrifice two close friends and a clan for my own benefit?

    This devilish bastard will definitely try to devour the Dark Dragon Gate in the future!

    Dokgo Yeongcheon made that decision and slightly changed his plan.

    And Dokgo Yeongcheon’s slightly twisted plan became a bomb and fell to the world.

    Geum Myeong-wol is actually Hyeok Kirin of the Jeomchang faction.

    Geummyeongwol appeared after Hyeokkirin disappeared. The fact that they are part of the group of Ho Cheon-an, who is from Sacheon. The main evidence was that Hyeok Kirin and Geum Myeong-wol were so similar in appearance and height that it was safe to assume they were the same person, and the persuasiveness was doubled when the word ‘Amryongmun’ was subtly added on top of that.

    This was because it was too much to say that this rumor was a conspiracy made up to keep the Jeomchang faction or Hwang Sowol in check. If these rumors were truly unfounded, it would have been enough justification for Hwang So-wol or the Jeom Chang Sect to declare war against the Dark Dragon Gate.

    Since this rumor is true, the Dark Dragon Gate will ultimately be the winner if the truth is revealed, so the Dark Dragon Gate spread this rumor.

    The world judged this and accepted this rumor as a fait accompli.

    Up to this point, things have gone exactly as Dokgo Yeongcheon intended.

    The reaction of those in the world who thought the rumor was true went in a completely different direction than Dokgo Yeongcheon expected.

    In the end, they are disappointed to learn that Geum Myeong-wol is not from their area.

    Young people cry out that Geum Myeong-wol will never be a woman.

    Old men and Confucian scholars scold the great disciple of the Jeomchang sect, one of the leading factions of the nine factions, asking what kind of misdeeds he is doing.

    The women persuade the confused women that it would be better if Geum Myeong-wol were male.

    And despite all the rumors, there are children who still run around the alleys holding Seogong dolls, saying that Seogong is cute.

    In fact, as soon as the words Hyeok-ki-rin or Geummyeong-wol were mentioned, the place immediately became an arena where opinions arose, so it was no exaggeration to say that the world was literally on fire.

    Since the world’s reaction was so violent that Dokgo Youngcheon could not even have expected it, the person who sparked the rumor was bound to be different from what Dokgo Youngcheon expected.

    According to Dokgo Yeong-cheon’s prediction, the people behind the rumors should have been Hyeok Kirin and Geum Myeong-wol, who should appear later, but instead of waiting for an explanation from Hyuk Kirin and Geum Myeong-wol, who do not know where they are, the public stepped forward to reveal the truth themselves. And went out.

    He went to see Wi Seo-ryeon and Dang Do-yeon, who were talking about Geum Myeong-wol’s daily life.

    Is Geum Myeong-wol really Hyuk Kirin and a man?

    Blind-eyed young people who could never accept that fact flocked from all over the world, and Bicheonmacha and Wiseoryeon were literally devastated.

    To be more precise, it was only Wei Seo-ryeon who was caught in the wrongdoing.

    “Hey, let’s jump out.”

    “Hahahaha! It’s a chase with the world! This might be fun too!”

    All the raincoach had to do was run away from people.

    “Truth or death!”

    “Tell me! Tell me Geum Myeong-wol is a woman!”

    “…Such crazy.”

    On the other hand, Wei Seo-ryeon had no choice but to close her eyes and run away from the men who were rushing at her.

    Even if it only took one or two people, it was impossible to defeat all the countless people who were attacking.

    Wei Seolyeon, who had red eyes that could not be hidden even if she tried to hide her identity, and a black dragon that could be felt from a hundred miles away, was impossible to hide, so there was only one method that Wei Seolyeon could choose.

    “I will be indebted to you for a while.”

    Just run away to the Dark Dragon Gate.

    “The rumors going around the world may not be completely unfounded. No, even if it’s untrue, I’m in a difficult situation because of your sect, so you won’t have any complaints, right?”

    “…is it possible? I will treat you as an honored guest at the Dark Dragon Gate.”

    When Wi Seo-ryeon, who had been glaring at him with displeased eyes, disappeared, Dok-go Yeong-cheon closed his eyes tightly and let out a long sigh.

    “Wasn’t it messing with Ho Cheon-an’s plan…”

    Socheonma Wiseoryeon.

    Wei Seo-ryeon may seem like a simple person who just wanders around the world, shooting chestnuts and gambling, but in reality, he is such a type of person, but at the same time, he is practically the number one figure of the Heavenly Demon Church.

    Cheonma Wijicheon pioneered the previously unexplored realm of empty space in Mosan Daejeon.

    So, what should Wijicheon do now that the big event called the Mosan War is over?

    Governing the Heavenly Demon Church? Expansion as a midfielder?

    Of course, such things are important, but the current Wi Ji-cheon had work to do.

    Wi Ji-cheon’s greatest task was to pass on to future generations the previously unexplored state he had pioneered. If we can weave that level into the framework of martial arts, we will be able to make the glory that only one generation can enjoy into an eternal one.

    And if such martial arts were truly compiled, those who would benefit from them were already decided.

    Socheonma Wiseoryeon.

    Socheonma Wi Seo-ryeon will possess that divine skill, and based on that divine skill, she will lead the Cheonma Divine Religion in its heyday. Dokgo Yeongcheon could not have predicted what kind of actions such a Heavenly Demon Church would take, but one thing was certain: it was an object with which one must unconditionally become close friends.

    However, since he ruined Wei Seo-ryeon’s gambling adventure and left a bad impression… it was only a loss for Dok-go Yeong-cheon, who carried out this incident in order to build relationships with the Heavenly Demon Church.

    The second-in-command and future first-in-command of the Church of the Heavenly Demon has become a firm target, so what is the use of Ho Cheon-an’s introduction?

    Dokgo Yeongcheon sighed and wondered how to resolve the matter.

    In order for Socheonma Wi Seo-ryeon to go on a gambling trip again, he had to wait until Geum Myeong-wol’s identity was completely revealed or Geum Myeong-wol’s popularity cooled. The longer the wait, the worse the impression Wei Seo-ryeon had on the Dark Dragon Gate would get, so the current situation had to end quickly.

    The problem was that there was no means to sort out the current situation.

    Because he had signed a contract with Hocheonan, he couldn’t announce that the rumors spread by Dark Dragon were fake.

    ‘It would be nice if the Jeomchang faction could sort things out… but that’s probably not possible.’

    Even during the reign of Hyeokgyo, the Jeomchang faction did not release Hyeokgirin’s closure. But should we bring out Hyuk Kirin in this incident, which is at best just a rumor?

    Hyuk Kirin may be the subject of gossip from the world, but in the end, it is just a rumor that will disappear once Hyuk Kirin breaks out of the closed doors and reveals himself to the world.

    Moreover, when Hyeok Kirin broke out of the closed house, he would be able to capture the world’s attention, so it was a situation that could not be seen as only bad news from the point of view of the fortuneteller group.

    Dokgo Yeongcheon’s thoughts, pondering various numbers, eventually came to an end with a sigh.

    “I can’t help it. The only way to appease Socheonma is to invite gamblers until the rumors calm down…”

    In the end, Dokgo Yeongcheon, who had come to the conclusion that he had no choice but to buy time, was about to call his subordinates and give them instructions to round up all the gamblers in Yunnan.

    “Lord Moon! We’re in big trouble!”

    What is this again?

    Even so, his feelings were extremely complicated, but when the subordinate appeared making a fuss, Dokgo Yeongcheon frowned.

    “What is it? Did something happen to Socheonma?”

    “There is a new rumor going around about Geummyeongwol!”

    “What?”

    And the rumor was twisted in another direction? Dokgo Yeongcheon suddenly felt like his head was pounding.

    “Okay, tell me.”

    “It is said that the identity of Geummyeongwol is Sunan Gamchalgeosa, who appeared in Agyang!”

    “…What?”

    “When there was a conflict between So Yeon-hwa, a member of Noegeomnanginin’s group, and the Governor of Honam, the Sunan Gamchal-eosa who punished the Governor of Honam is none other than Geum Myeong-wol!”

    “Ah…”

    Dokgo Yeongcheon was shocked by his subordinate’s successive reports, as if he had been hit on the head.

    Geum Myeong-wol is currently being misunderstood as a man and a member of the Jeomchang group.

    Geum Myeong-wol continued to remain a mystery person without revealing his status as a monk or martial artist.

    Even if he came from a sect with original sin or inherited the martial arts of someone with flaws, he prevented the spread of blood religion and made achievements that would be enough to wash away any past.

    However, even though there was a huge uproar in the world, Jin Myeong-wol did not reveal his identity.

    Dokgo Yeongcheon realized why Geum Myeongwol was hiding her identity.

    ‘Geum Myeong-wol was a person who held a government position…!’

    Gwan and Moorim have an incompatible relationship. A military person who holds a coffin is shunned by the martial arts community, and it is difficult for the martial arts personnel to get along with someone who holds a government position.

    However, what would happen if it were revealed that a person who held a government position was deeply involved in the history of the martial arts to the point of being called a hero of the martial arts?

    It was clear that it would be a major obstacle to his future career as a government official, and under such circumstances, it made sense to go to great lengths to hide his identity.

    Dokgo Yeong-cheon’s thoughts continued to expand as he was convinced that Geum Myeong-wol was a member of the government.

    So, what government position does Geum Myeong-wol hold?

    Geum Myeong-wol worked as a Sunan gamchaleosa in Akyang. However, if Geum Myeong-wol was really Sunan Gamchal-eosa, why did he follow Ho Cheon-an?

    Taking that into account, there was only one conclusion that could be drawn.

    There was a different reason for joining Ho Cheon-an, and Geum Myeong-wol briefly used Dochalwon’s Sunangam Cheoleosa authority in Agyang. In order to immediately exercise that level of power, one must be in a position to receive full cooperation from the Geumwiui Committee, the higher-level organization of the Dochalwon, the alumni, or the imperial family.

    In other words, it meant that Geum Myeong-wol was a truly powerful person who had a great influence on the imperial institution, which even killed flying birds.

    “It’s ruined…”

    And Dokgo Yeongcheon was in a situation where he was greatly screwed by Geum Myeongwol, who was such a powerful person, by modifying Hocheonan’s plan.

    Grumble!

    Cold sweat began to flow from Dokgo Yeongcheon’s forehead.
