The people around him, including Jeon Gwang, fell silent at the word bait.

okay. It’s bait.

I think the move from Origin Yuga was clearly to extort the design, an event item, to obtain half of the Heavenly Demon God’s Power.

Otherwise, why would it come out of nowhere in the original Confucianism?

Even in the Demonic Cult, the closest thing to the next sect leader is the Origin Confucian Church, and it was judged that the reason they gave up their advantageous position and moved was because there was that much to gain.

And, the only thing that would make Yu Jang-mok, the head of the original Confucian family, drool, is the remaining half of the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique.

If he gets it, Yu Jangmok will not only have the Demonic Cult but also the world in his hands.

In such a situation, to attack Island Hwaseong, I would have to do nothing but Jeon Gwang, a few demonic cultists whose names I don’t know, and the Blood Demon Gangshi. Attacking with only a few six giants and a hastily constructed Jiangshi unit?

There were a lot of them, but even considering the power of the original Yuga, they were not that great of a force.

So we can only assume that they are bait, and that the real thing is somewhere else.

The other place is probably…

“Hong Seong-moon?!”

When Hongryeon was shocked, I nodded. I patted Hongryeon on the back as I saw her panicking and not knowing what to do.

“There is a swordsman on Mt. Hongseong.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“What about the inside of the island castle?”

“There is the Munwoljeong branch and the Murim Alliance.”

I responded calmly to Seongju’s urgent question. And, if it’s not possible, Namgung-cheon, who is currently in the sauna for a while in the bath, will also come out.

No, not just them.

The reason I made the guesthouse bigger and promoted it all over the world was not only to obtain information, but also to encourage warriors to visit often.

Demonic religion is a feat of martial arts in the world.

If such people appear, there will be some who run away, but there will definitely be those who fight without hesitation.

And the warriors who run away will try to save the civilians of Island Hwaseong and run away rather than just running away.

In other words, the more warriors come, the closer they get to my plan to protect Seomhwaseong Fortress.

“Teacher Yu…”

“So for now, let’s focus on the enemy in front of us.”

Of course, it was called bait, but that number, the Blood Demon Gangsi, and the electric light could not be ignored.

If the gate is breached, they will attack the people inside the castle, and Seomhwaseong Castle will literally become a river.

“Hongryeon. Can you fight?”

“Uh. Yes.”

Although the camp was set up at Hongseong Mountain, if Yu Jang-mok was a well-chosen elite, he would be able to go all the way to Hongseong Gate. Just like the Iron Blood Emperor did before.

Of course, unlike back then, Hong Seong-moon’s defenses are in good condition, so there is no problem, but it is still true that there are concerns.

I patted Sayun’s head as she kept glancing towards Hongseongsan Mountain.

“Are you worried?”

“Uh… Yes.”

“Do you not trust your teachers and sisters?”

“It can’t be!”

“Then it is done. I hope you don’t forget what you have to do.”

“…Okay. Sayoon. What you have to do is.”

-Ssss!!

An arrow flying through the wind. Is he a soldier who became a jiangshi? When the old, rusty arrow he shot aimed at me, Sayun instinctively moved his sword to deflect it and then showed his teeth.

“How dare you!!”

“Okay. You must keep June. You are the last resort. So…”

Hongryeon looked around. Gangsters, six giants, monsters.

It was approaching towards Seomhwaseong Fortress.

Hongryeon, who saw the warriors holding their weapons nervously at their approach, continued speaking in a calm tone.

“…Take Yuwol and stay back.”

“I understand. Ambassador’s residence. Still, the Ambassador, please be careful.”

“Haha.”

Hongryeon burst out laughing at Sayun’s worried voice.

“Who do you think I am?”

Hongryeon, who said that, looked at the advancing enemies and shouted.

“Murim Alliance! And the warriors who came to Seomhwaseong!!”

Hongryeon steps forward.

When Kang Ja, Hong Seong-moon’s great disciple and who had recently become a superhuman, steps forward, his morale immediately soars.

“Those guys. Shouldn’t we just leave it at that?!”

“Ohhh!!”

Red energy rising from Hongryeon’s body. People who saw Hongseong Shingong soaring to the limit raised their weapons and cheered.

“Let’s go!! Seongju, please provide rear support!”

“Leave it to me!! everyone!! Ready for battle!!”

“Wow!!”

The soldiers on the walls raised their bows and oars according to the instructions of the castle lord. The jiangshi won’t die with one or two arrows, but at least they can block the approach of monsters.

If that alone helps the warriors, that’s enough.

“I’ll make everything into Gangshi!!”

Jeon Gwang shouted, foaming at the mouth.

“Haaap!!”

Hongryeon jumped off the castle wall and grabbed the Yonghwan Sword.

-Wheee!!!

The Wind Blows.

Just like before when the dragon appeared in the Dragon Temple, a strong wind began to blow through Hongryeon’s body and the great sword she was holding with both hands.

I couldn’t help but be surprised when I saw that.

Wow… I knew that Hongryeon’s talent was great, but she can already use the power of the dragon in the Dragon Hwan Sword?

The dragon sword and dragon sword are weapons that can use the power of the dragon. However, it takes a lot of skill to use it properly, but I never thought I could use it already.

Hongryeondo’s genius is definitely a genius…

I was impressed, and as if responding, Hongryeon quickly swung the Dragon Hwan Sword.

-Kuuuch!!

A huge wind becomes a storm and sweeps away the approaching army of jiangshi and monsters. Hongryeon, who had blown away a third of the army with a single blow, looked at me with a tired look and a grin.

Flying dragon faction.

I applauded Hongryeon, who had succeeded in using the skill that can be used by obtaining the dragon-hwan sword and accumulating proficiency. She shrugged her shoulders and swung the dragon-hwan sword to cut down the attacking demonic cultist.

If you use the Flying Dragon sect three times, you can blow away that entire army, but since the Flying Dragon sect has a cooldown, there is nothing you can do.

But it’s still okay.

“Haaa!!”

That red-haired beauty who led the martial arts people, military officers, and soldiers was clearly a powerhouse in the realm of superhumans.

***

“Ouch…”

After taking Chae-ryeon out, Chae-jin led her to a manor not far from the guesthouse. As soon as he entered the newly established Munwoljeong Seomhwaseong branch, Chaejin immediately started nagging.

“Hey. You keep clinging to Yuwol these days. Are you doing that on purpose?”

“It’s obvious. How can I resist this opportunity to make fun of my sister?”

“This?!”

It was when Chaejin, who was in tears, was about to hit her head.

“…What.”

Chae-ryeon, who had closed her eyes tightly thinking she was about to have a sweet night, tilted her head. what? Why don’t you hit me? Is this a time lag attack?

When she opened her eyes in confusion, she saw Chaejin’s expression hardened.

“What’s wrong?”

“No. I feel a bit…”

It was then.

-Deee!! Damn!!

An ominous bell rings. It was the bell that was rung in the coffin when something happened in Seomhwaseong Fortress.

Why am I hearing this all of a sudden?

When they got up from their seats in panic, the door burst open and the Wolgwangdae member who followed Chae-ryeon shouted urgently.

“Branch leader! It’s a big deal!”

“What is it?”

“There is an attack from the Demonic Cult outside the castle…!”

Suddenly a demonic religion?

Chae-ryeon was embarrassed, and Chae-jin bit her lip.

Why is the Demonic Cult suddenly attacking this place?

Of course, Seomhwaseong’s popularity has been rapidly spreading recently. Since it is almost becoming a sacred place for political factions, it is bound to be an annoyance to the Demonic Church.

But even so, there was little benefit to the Demonic Cult by attacking this place.

On the surface.

Chae-jin and Chae-ryeon thought at the same time.

“…No way.”

“…I guess so.”

The reason why the Demonic Cult will target this place.

There would be only one reason to attack Island Hwaseong, where as many as four superhumans were staying.

A design to find half of the Heavenly Demon’s Magic.

It would be aimed at that and attacked.

There are as many as four superhumans.

There are Hongseongmundos and Moonwoljeong’s Wolgwangdae.

In addition, because Yuwol continued to promote the guesthouse and even provided consultations, quite a few martial artists came to visit.

Although they say that they cannot receive additional support because the Murim Alliance and the government have recently been attacking them in response to the movements of the Demonic Cult.

Anyway, this place is no different from a cave for the Demonic Cult.

But hitting this place?

“Are those guys ice gods?!”

Chae-ryeon was shocked. No matter how crazy they say the demon cultists are, isn’t this too much?

“Wolgwangdae! Let everyone prepare for battle!”

“Yes!!”

Moonlight crew quickly follows instructions. Chae-jin, who saw them moving, took the Dragon Hyeong-do.

“He said that he didn’t know what the Demonic Cult would do to get half of the Heavenly Demon God’s power. And, I also told you what I should do if something like this happens.”

“Wow… You expected and prepared for something like this? My brother-in-law is definitely not an ordinary person…”

Whether Chae-ryeon was impressed or not, Chae-jin confidently went out. Chae-ryeon, who followed her with Sura-do, was puzzled as she saw Chae-jin heading somewhere other than the guesthouse.

“Where are you going?”

“Hong Seong-moon.”

“Not a guest cup?”

“Because there’s a scary old man in the bathhouse. If you want to keep using your membership, we will take care of it for you.”

Although he spoke leisurely, Chaejin’s voice contained tension.

After clearing her throat a few times and struggling to regain her composure, she told the Wolgwangdae members and Chae-ryeon to stop by there and go around Seomhwachon to protect the evacuees.

Because this is also what he ordered.

When she saw Chae-ryun glance at her and move with the Moonlight Team members, she headed to Hongseongsan Mountain alone.

Hongryun and Sayun were obviously with Yuwol earlier.

As such, the safety of June could be entrusted to us.

Hongryeon was his rival, and even though he was his enemy, he could trust her because of that.

That’s why she hurriedly walked towards Hongseongmun Gate.

You have your own work to do.

She had not forgotten what Yuwol said.

If the Demonic Cult knew that they had the Heavenly Demon Divine Art’s design, they would definitely attack.

However, the island’s defenses are solid, so they will sneak in as quickly as possible, launch a surprise attack, and then try to seize it.

Also, the Demonic Cult knows that he will not keep the design since it is the same as having no power.

So, if the Demon Cult attacks, everyone except those who are with them must stop their surprise attack at Hongseongmun Gate.

It was true that I was worried about Yuwol, but I still couldn’t ignore his instructions and his trust.

That is why she quickly and secretly climbed Mt. Hongseong.

‘under. also…’

He laughed coldly upon discovering the enemies radiating an unpleasant level of magic and morale, confronting the Hongseongmundo led by the Sword Saint.
