The great sage, who had been talking nonsense, disappeared into the palace again.

Monster.

No matter how much Yeonjin thought about it, she couldn’t come to any other conclusion.

First of all, he was wearing black clothing.

Originally, it was favored by those going on long journeys because black clothes were not very noticeable even if they got dirty, but it is a typical black-clad person.

What is a black man?

Those who plot a plot as black as the clothes they wear are collectively called ‘people in black’.

“Um… … .”

Yeonjin, who was left alone, fell asleep.

The man in black does not come with a bamboo stick or an old iron sword, but he wears a mask that covers his entire face.

It wasn’t an ordinary mask, but a white mask with holes in the places where the eyes should be.

This alone makes the award reach its peak, so it is clear that Daehobeop is the person who best fits the description of a monster.

As Yeonjin reached that conclusion, Yu Yehyang muttered while rubbing her throbbing forehead.

“Cheongyeon, what is that Mangjong doing here… … .”

The great guardian of the Cheonmasingyo religion, the faceless demon lord Cheongyeon.

Yu Ye-hyang didn’t like Cheongyeon that much. Cheongyeon was ahead in terms of distribution, but Yu Ye-hyang officially held the title of both the junior leader and the deputy leader, so they were comfortable talking to each other.

And as you can see from the fact that Cheongyeon was just talking about herself until just now, she was very talkative.

It’s not just a lot. It’s a fucking lot.

“Is that person’s name Hamza Cheongyeon?”

“Dohoran. He’s a Ddaengjung from Shaolin. No, he’s already been excommunicated and dropped from the monkhood, so the expression Ddaengjung is a bit of a misnomer.”

Yu Ye-hyang replied in an irritated voice.

Cheongyeon was from Shaolin. In this world, Shaolin is a sect of nuns, or nuns.

Shaolin, the realm of Geumnyeo, suddenly became the realm of Geumnam, but just because the world has changed, it does not mean that Shaolin’s traditions and legacy from its founder, Bodhidharma, have disappeared.

Even in this world, Shaolin is still the Bukdu of the martial arts world, and is one of the strongest schools in the martial arts world, filled with aggressive monks who shout to eliminate all enemies.

And Cheongyeon, who was from Shaolin, opened a world of murder, broke the world, and eventually joined the Demonic Cult, becoming the great demon leader who brought fear to the martial arts world with the nickname of the Faceless Demon Lord.

It was a truly epic story, but Yu Ye-hyang didn’t feel the need to tell it all in detail.

“As you just saw, he talks a lot. So, if possible, try not to get involved.”

“Oh… … .”

Yeonjin nodded her head in admiration.

Just a little while ago, I was worried about what would happen if it was discovered that I had learned the Heavenly Demonic Art, but Yu Ye-hyang openly gave me an indulgence.

From now on, even if you avoid Cheongyeon, it means that you will no longer be charged with treason if you sell Yu Ye-hyang’s name.

Yeonjin, who thought like that, brought her face close to Yuyehyang’s ear.

“But how do I do that?”

“… … What do you mean?”

Yeonjin has not yet mastered the art of the Jeon-eum-ip-mil. That is because she was not told that such a technique is useless in the Demonic Cult.

Because of that, he had to lower his voice and whisper to her, but when Yeonjin’s face suddenly got closer and a voice whispered in her ear, only poor Yu Yehyang flinched.

Yeonjin continued talking without paying attention to Yu Ye-hyang, who barely managed to squeeze out her voice to answer.

“That’s right. You’ve already learned it. It wasn’t supposed to work.”

“… … I will take care of it myself, so stay quiet for now.”

The senses of a peerless master are much more sensitive than what ordinary people can imagine.

Perhaps Cheongyeon, who had already disappeared into the palace, might have overheard this conversation, so he did not directly mention the Heavenly Demonic Cultivation.

Only then did Yu Ye-hyang understand what he was talking about. As soon as he finished talking, she hurriedly pulled her tickling ear away and responded.

Certainly, this situation was a variable that even she had not anticipated.

How long has it been since you caused a commotion in Sacheon and Cheongseong and Dangmun started chasing you, and now you’ve dispatched Cheongyeon all the way here?

“… … I didn’t get my tail stepped on anyway, so I did something useless.”

Yu Ye-hyang, who was still touching her earlobes because of the ticklish sensation in her ears, grumbled.

In her view, Cheongseong and Dangmun were just wasting their energy.

To put it simply and bluntly, it means dog training.

If we were to put it more extremely, it would be like the tail of the Dongcheon Sword King muralist.

Why on earth did they release people to search for the perpetrator when they couldn’t even identify him, and why did they only kill the innocent disciples?

The only evidence left at the scene is the traces of a person killed by a simple outburst of thought, without any trace of the principles of ignorance.

That and the marks on the sword of the Muhonkyo sword that Yeonjin used to cut off Aekku’s breath are all the clues.

“Why would you be happy if you get caught with that?”

Yeonjin also stepped forward to say something.

Even to Yeonjin, who had no knowledge of the martial arts world, that old-fashioned search method seemed out of place.

The difficulty level is similar to finding Mr. Wang in Beijing with only the Wang surname.

I wondered if there was any chance of getting caught since it wasn’t even a cutting-edge investigation using the best of modern science from a previous life. To put it bluntly, it wasn’t like they could collect footprints or fingerprints at the scene and use those to find the person.

“Is that what you think, Jinah?”

“If you find a criminal whose face you don’t even know with just a stab wound, you should be summoned to the palace as a special recruit. And now, give him a nickname like ‘the world’s best killer’.”

Yeonjin shrugged her shoulders.

Since Yu Ye-hyang asserted that there was no one around, there were no witnesses passing by either.

How can we find the culprit when we can’t even identify him?

“Don’t let your guard down!”

but.

The intruder who appeared again kicked open the door and came out.

He was still wearing black clothing, but this time he had taken off his pure white mask.

Masters with great martial arts skills undergo a complete transformation and tend to have an appearance that does not match their age.

For example, the muralist is actually over a hundred years old, but his outward appearance is at best just a little old.

The great law that appeared with a shout, Cheongyeon was the same.

“That kind of carelessness invites trouble! The small cult leader, and Yeonjin, you too! Isn’t this your first time in the martial arts world? Anything can happen in the martial arts world!”

Cheongyeon shouted with her arms crossed.

And in Cheongyeon’s case, if you only look at her age, she looked younger than Yeonjin. At most, she was probably around Jihak.

Even though he was not yet of age, his appearance made it seem like he had grown up a little faster than his face.

And a rare scene was created where he shouted while wearing that kind of appearance.

“There are no witnesses or evidence, so how can you find them? It’s noisy, so lower your voice.”

Of course, the response that came back was not good.

When Yu Ye-hyang dismissed her with an annoyed expression, Cheong-yeon spoke with bright eyes that matched her age.

“Little Leader, are you confident?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“What are you saying they did to get you on their tail? And let’s assume that the Cheongseongpa Malko bastards are chasing you to the death while swinging their specialty, the Cheongunjeokha Sword Technique, and then the Tangmun bastards suddenly appear out of nowhere, unleash their secret weapon, and spray poison.”

“… … Keep going.”

“Then, are you confident that you can escape from that situation and protect that friend Yeonjin? It wouldn’t be that hard for you to escape! But, can you protect that friend while hanging a load or something and keeping it safe? That’s what I’m saying!”

“Me?”

Yeonjin quietly raised her finger and pointed at herself.

And he tilted his head.

Whether Yeonjin, who had suddenly become a burden or a lump, tilted her head or not, Cheongyeon continued to speak passionately.

“I’m quite interested in the story of men and women! I can tell just by looking at you that you have feelings for that guy, but can you protect the person you like when he’s a burden? If you don’t have the confidence to do that, then refrain from talking! There are no absolutes in this world!”

Cheongyeon stopped talking at that point and made a proud expression. Then she closed her eyes tightly.

Even she thought it was a pretty cool thing to say that there are no absolutes in this world.

If you have awakened them to this extent, it is time for the leader, who was impressed by your passionate speech, to change his mind and offer an apology.

But the reaction she expected did not come.

The moment I opened my eyes, which I had closed, wondering what was happening.

“You’re really talking about going all the way with your girlfriend today. I know that, you damn fool. Since you were in school, your girlfriend didn’t like you.”

Yu Ye-hyang’s face was red and her body was trembling.

Her pure white skin turned red, driven by emotions that could be either shame or anger at having her love story discovered by someone else.

And yet, his hands shone bright white.

No, it was not just pure white; it was shining blue and transparent like a winter lake, a characteristic that only appears in the minority magic of the twelve constellations.

“Wait! Why are you taking your anger out on me! I’m a bit quick-witted, so I just saw it and guessed! And didn’t you flinch when that guy whispered in your ear just now!”

Cheongyeon was unusually skilled at swordsmanship, despite being from a Shaolin monk family who focused on external martial arts.

In other words, now that he has not carried a sword, he is clearly inferior to Yu Ye-hyang, who is well-versed in not only the martial arts but also the martial arts and swordsmanship.

To fight a small group of demons with your bare hands without even a single sword is an absurdity that is no different from using a sword.

I hastily fiddled with my waistband to try to survive, but there was nothing to grab onto.

As soon as her once bright eyes turned to resentment, Yu Ye-hyang turned cold and cold.

“Shut up.”

A blue light was quickly shining into the aggrieved eyes.

In a desperate attempt to survive, Cheongyeon evaded with a desperate effort to achieve great success, but Yu Yehyang, as if she had predicted it, took the initiative and scattered her hand-held swords.

And Yeonjin, who had just assumed that Cheongyeon was a monster.

“We really shouldn’t get involved.”

I couldn’t help but admire Cheongyeon’s attitude of picking out the right ones and throwing them away.

As a great guardian of the Cheonmasingyo sect, he was not very dignified for a peerless master ranked within the top 20 in the school.

If you ask if it lacks dignity, it doesn’t seem like it would be like that at all.

Perhaps his martial arts skills and intuition have completely changed.

Yeonjin muttered as she thought about it and shook her head.

“… … I should unpack my luggage.”

Yeonjin turned around.

Yeonjin gave up watching Cheongyeon unfold her wings, forgetting all sense of dignity and respect.

It was a sight that seemed like it would shatter my illusions about these so-called peerless masters if I watched it any longer.

“Where are you going! Stop the little cult leader, please! I would listen to you! No, little cult leader! Little cult leader! Listen to me!”

Leaving Cheongyeon’s urgent and pitiful voice behind, Yeonjin walked away, unpacking her luggage.
