[Undine. Can’t I use too much force? Understand?]

[Hehe, don’t worry, Ifrit. It’s been a while since I felt excited about the opportunity to use my strength. I wasn’t excited at all.]

hmm… Judging by the fact that the ice surrounding the sword is trembling slightly more, Undine seems to be quite excited, too.

But only I can notice these subtle changes.

“Wow—!”

“Rain, it’s the ice flame energy of the Ice Flame God Dragon!!”

“I heard that each and every one of those energies is truly amazing… ! I think it’s more than just the evolution of absolute masters.”

The attention of the people around me instantly focused on me again.

After attracting people’s attention with an appropriate performance, I slightly bowed my head to everyone.

“Everyone, thank you for coming to the opening ceremony of this county model. I’d like to apologize in advance for not being able to properly greet everyone because I had something to attend to for a moment. I will further apologize for this while greeting everyone during the opening ceremony. But first, we have to hold the opening ceremony.”

After hearing my words, Hwang Woong seemed to come to his senses and shouted at the servants.

“Bring the prepared signboard! Come on!”

At the sound of the shout, several people rushed over, and soon came whimpering and carrying a signboard with nothing written on it.

People were puzzled when they saw the signboard, which was quite far away from me, but I didn’t mind.

“While training in the distant Changbai Mountains of Jilin, my teacher was impressed by the Four Gods Paintings drawn in Haedong and created a martial art that deals with the energy of nature. Therefore, in accordance with the Master’s will, I established a sect here in Shaanxi!”

Grrr!!!

With one long swing of the sword, the energy of fire chars the plaque black and engraves the words.

Chijiikeik—!

And the energy of the water, which was released a little later, quelled the fire before it could spread to the signboard, and created a beautiful letter in an instant.

“Wowaaaa—!!”

“As expected, the Ice Flame Divine Dragon! This is ridiculous news!”

“But what did you write about Moonpai’s name…? Huh… !”

“What’s wrong? What kind of name is it… uh… ?”

The smoke caused by fire and ice cleared, and the handwriting I had been practicing was revealed to the world.

Haedongsa Newspaper (海東四神門).

“Haedongsa Newspaper! I hereby declare that the name of my sect is Haedongsa Shinmun, and that from now on, starting with this Seomseo, I will exalt this name throughout the entire martial arts world!!”

““… … !””

In the midfield, everyone is buzzing at the unfamiliar name.

“Defrost? Shaanxi is very far from the sea, right? Why are you suddenly adding the word ‘haedong’?”

“You know! Korean ginseng acquired exclusively by Liaoning’s Moyong Sega! In addition to the bird that is famous for its origin… !”

“Ah, this is where those barbarians from Dongi or something like that live? But suddenly… ?”

“Is the Ice Flame God Dragon really a barbarian?”

“Seo, no way! The pronunciation is completely from the Shaanxi region. He also said that he was born and raised in Shaanxi.”

“Then you were talking about Master’s origins? Anyway, I don’t think it’s a good idea to use words related to barbarians in Shaanxi, where the spirit of China is strong… .”

To be honest, I thought there was no need to defrost it. I was wondering if I was turning off aggro for no reason. As I lived there, I realized that this world did not view other countries as favorably as the China I knew.

People around them are now confused and don’t seem to know how to react.

But I didn’t want to change the name of the clan.

‘The Chinese are losing face. ‘I can’t stand this.’

The guys who came here and forced themselves on me. And even the communists who used to do stupid things in my dimension in the past. I don’t have any good memories of being involved with things like neutralization and other things.

The blood of Gukppong, who had been sleeping without my knowledge, is in China… It wasn’t, but somewhere similar to China, they whispered to me to shout out Gukbbong, and I followed that inner voice.

It may seem like I’m condescending to someone else’s name, but I decided not to worry about it.

‘Who’s going to say anything if you show off by saving the midfielder?’

Mr. Maehwageomseon. Since we are looking for a midfielder, it would be okay to show some condescension to the country, right?

While ignoring Hwaryeong’s slightly puzzled expression, I finished the opening ceremony by greeting people with an impressive start.

* * *

“Damn it! To see Dong-i’s name in the middle of Jungwon!”

“That’s right, death penalty. I went there because I wanted to find out what kind of guy was newly making a name for himself in Shaanxi, but he turned out to be someone who had a barbarian master. I’m dying because it’s such a waste of time. Really.”

After the opening ceremony of Hyeonseong’s Haedongsa Newspaper, the murmurings of Jongnam’s disciples returning to their own sect fill the night sky.

Although they usually prepare a place to sleep when welcoming guests, Jongnam’s people left right away.

Even though it was rude to ignore the consideration for the guests, Hyeonseong just smiled and saw them off. And that made them even more dissatisfied.

“But definitely… One martial arts skill stood out. It was gorgeous, it was gorgeous. It’s not for nothing that it’s called the Ice Flame Divine Dragon… .”

“Uh-huh! I can’t believe your eyes are being deceived by such poor catching techniques! Plus, it’s a dragon! Isn’t the title of ‘Ryong’ only suitable for a great brother who has been officially given the title of ‘Ryong’ by the Dragonbong Branch of the Murim Alliance? Yes, this guy is out of his mind, so if he goes back to the main text, he will need some serious training!”

“Sin, sorry, death penalty! Ambassador type! I’m talking nonsense… !”

“… Huh.”

For Ki Chun-su, all of this was bound to be uncomfortable.

‘How dare that guy make fun of Jin Mae…? . I can’t forgive… !’

At the time of the Yongbong branch, he fell in love with Jinhwaryeong as soon as he saw it at a glance, even though he had not even signed a contract. Even though my age was already beyond the limit, it didn’t matter even if my level of martial arts was similar to mine.

‘I am a disciple of the volcano sect, which is going bankrupt anyway. Then, wouldn’t it be right for Kang Hao to accept a woman who was a great disciple of the Hwasan Sect as the next Jangmun of Shaanxi’s leading sect, the Jongnan Sect? ‘It’s completely different from the slave girls of the Black Island who used to indulge their sexual desires as a way to kill time.’

He had no intention of giving in to his desires.

From then on, Ki Chun-soo consistently expressed interest in Jin Hua-ryeong and pretended to be friendly with him. Even though I consistently refused, his flirtatious behavior continued. No, on the contrary, the illusion became worse.

‘It could be because you feel distant because you haven’t seen each other for a long time. A woman can have that kind of attitude, right? But I can’t forgive myself for being around that damn top. Education will definitely be needed in the future.’

It was Cheonjunggeom and Gwangmunhyeop who brought the world’s first dragon, who was in delusion, back to reality.

“Chunsu.”

“Ah, yes. Elder Il.”

“In your opinion, what are the skills of the guy you saw today?”

“Do you mean the Ice Flame Divine Dragon?”

“Yes. When this guy engraves the letters on the signboard without any skill, do you think you can do it?”

In response to Gwangmunhyeop’s question, Ki Chun-su recalled the scene at that time.

‘It’s certainly not easy to write with only a sword. First of all, I can do it too. The problem is the distance… .’

Even in his memory, the distance between the plaque and Hyeonseong was quite large. Engraving letters on a plaque from such a long distance meant that both swordsmanship and martial arts had reached a profound level. That’s why everyone was surprised by this.

“ … Definitely, I think I need to practice for a few days to show something like that.”

“Right? The Ice Flame Divine Dragon is by no means an easy opponent. I can do it without difficulty, but right now, you are the person I have to face at this Shaanxi Review Index Exchange Meeting. To be honest, you might struggle quite a bit.”

“Yes? No, what does that mean? He is the head of a sect! How could Moon-ju come to late Ji-soo’s exchange meeting!”

“Aren’t you two years old? There are some guys who come out even if they go beyond Irip, and there’s no reason why they can’t come out. You are so old.”

“… Pfft.”

Leaving Ki Chun-soo’s angry voice behind, Gwangmun-hyeop remembered Hyeon-seong’s casual response to his own warning.

‘He is a martial arts guy, but he also has a deep heart. If he’s in Jongnam’s shadow, he might be of some use, but he’s a volcanic faction… ‘Tsk.’

The sight of Hyeonseong reminded him of the volcanic waves from more than 10 years ago.

At that time, the volcano was in full bloom, spreading the scent of plum blossoms throughout the central plains.

The heyday of the Hwasan faction, with many masters, led by Maehwageomseon, who was at the forefront of the Ten Commandments of Woonae, was the dark age of the Jongnam faction. At that time, Jongnam could not even raise his head properly in Shaanxi. Because Gwangmunhyeop went through such times, the current time can be said to be a very precious time.

And he wanted to make this precious time last forever even after he died.

‘I don’t like it. I really don’t like it… . Just a little more and we can completely erase the volcanic waves.’

He remembered the secret agreement between Jong-nam and Jang Mun-in of the Hwasan faction.

– I am not very interested in the continuation of the Volcanic Sect, which has never done anything for me in the past. If Jongnam promises to support us instead of Hwasan in the future, we will hand over martial arts and various confidential information to Hwasan and eventually disband the sect, haha. So, if you don’t mind, why don’t we talk about it in detail?

At first I thought it was some kind of joke. Even if he had no interest in the sect, how could a person named Jang Mun-in think of selling his sect? This is something that could not even be imagined with the common sense of Gwangmunhyup.

However, after seeing Mucheng surpass Hwasan’s martial arts skills little by little, his thoughts also had to change.

The hardliners, led by Gwangmunhyeop, claimed that this was an opportunity to completely eliminate the Hwasan faction and for Jongnam to become the leader of the Shaomseo Murim forever, so they joined hands with Mucheong with the connivance of Jang Mun-in and others from the Jongnam faction.

Jongnam supported Mucheong with money and influence, and Mucheong knowingly or unknowingly weakened Hwasan’s power and sold its assets to outsiders to embezzle his own wealth.

For Gwangmunhyup, everything was going well.

Until Hyeonseong appears.

‘Now the process has truly come to an end… . If Hwasan shows a bad side again this time, all we have to do is confirm the decline of the sect, have it go through the process of disbanding, and Jongnam absorb and manage the Taoist part… .’

No matter how difficult it was, it had only just become terms and had reached the beginning of its climax. Even though he had outstanding talent without a proper teacher, Ki Chun-soo, who surpassed Lee Rip, was also a late Jisoo, known as Jongnam’s Kigi, and was now a little stronger than her. There are limits to struggling alone, and if she emphasized that she was a woman and a lay disciple, the shine of the name Geombong would also fade.

But what if the head of an emerging sect that emphasized ties to volcanoes proves that Shaanxi has a promising future? So what if the volcano’s power is still alive and well?

‘This guy is already making a name for himself by saving ghost spears. If we don’t break the wings here, we will have trouble swallowing the volcanic waves.’

Or maybe the seat of Shaanxi First Gate… .

Gwangmunhyeop, who felt anxious for a moment, decided to take action to erase the thoughts in his head.

“Chunsu. Do you often keep in touch with your family?”

“Yes. I just posted my greetings a few days ago.”

“That’s good. Would you like to contact your family again soon? This is in relation to training to adapt to industrial poisoning.”

“Yes? What is that all of a sudden… .”

“Hehe, there is such a thing. When it comes to medicine, Infinite Family may not be as good as Sacheondang Family, but it is a family that belongs to the top class.”

Gwangmunhyup recalled Ki Chun-soo’s original home. In terms of Sangong poison, Infinite Giga, which is as famous as Sacheon Dangga, has conducted various studies to prevent the members of the Murim Alliance from falling victim to Sangong poison.

‘It’s just this one time. If we get through this one time, our Jongnam will rule Shaanxi forever… . No, from Shaanxi to the entire central plain… !’

Cheonjunggeom and Gwangmunhyeop were unknown until now.

What will be the result of the ambition of a Jongnampa veteran who has not forgotten the humiliation he once suffered under the volcano? .
