On the day of the Shaanxi branch meeting, disciples are inspecting themselves inside Jongnampa, the opening venue.

    Among them, an old monk with the impression of a Seonpungdogol (仙風道骨) was patting Ki Chunsu on the shoulder and encouraging him.

    “Chunsu. How is your physical condition?”

    “Very good. It’s okay if anyone is your opponent.”

    “Guy. But don’t overdo it or do anything like that. You are Jongnam’s future. It’s okay not to put a lot of effort into trivial things like now.”

    “Of course, Jang Moon-in. Disciple, of course, I will show this time again that Jongnam is the strongest in Shaanxi without putting in too much effort.”

    “Hehe, yes, yes. If it’s spring, that’s possible. cancer. Of course.”

    Jongnam’s master, Taeeulshingeom, Jonggrimyeong is looking at his student with a smile on his face.

    In a friendly atmosphere, the elder Cheonjunggeom Gwangmunhyeop yells at his disciples.

    “Never let down your guard! The sword has no eyes, so you should not underestimate your opponent and work hard until the end to avoid getting hurt and get good results!”

    “Hehe, priest. Don’t be like that. What if I already discourage the children?”

    “Okay, Jang Moon-in.”

    “Yes, yes. It’s a good day, so there will be only good results. Immortal Buddha.”

    Unlike Jang Mun-in, who is reciting Taoho, Gwangmunhyeop’s mouth was smiling, but his eyes were not smiling.

    ‘I decided to participate… Ice Flame Divine Dragon.’

    His eyes sank heavily as he already checked Hyunseong’s name on the list of participants.

    Although Hyeonseong moderately deceived the realm by controlling the release of his internal energy, his keen sense did not let down his guard against him.

    ‘People think that the Ice Flame God Dragon was able to save the ghost spear because the unknown bandit lost strength while fighting the ghost spear, but that will never be the case. No, there is a high probability that the Ice Flame Divine Dragon and the Ghost Spear directly collided, and the winner would have been the Ice Flame Divine Dragon. I don’t know for what reason, but for some reason, I trust that side more.’

    As a result of collecting information about Hyeonseong through open access, Gwangmunhyup was able to draw a conclusion close to the truth.

    ‘Can Chunsu really defeat such an Ice Flame God Dragon?’

    Ki Chun-soo, one of the world’s greatest dragons, is clearly a Gigi. He has received much more support than Geombong, and considering his age, it is true that Geombong is much more talented. But now, at this moment, Ki Chun-soo is at least stronger than Geom-bong at the beginning of the climax. Gwangmunhyeop thought so.

    But what if the Ice Flame Divine Dragon is your opponent?

    Even he, who had heard that he was at the pinnacle and would definitely be ranked among the top 100 masters in the world, was not sure that Ki Chun-soo would definitely win.

    ‘Can not be done. You shouldn’t do that. It’s only been 10 years since we’ve known this joy. I lived under a volcano for such a long time…!”

    He looks at Jongnam’s people.

    The confidence that comes from the confidence that they all belong to the best clan. It was a smile that could not be found even 10 years ago.

    If, just by chance, the Ice Flame God Dragon wins the Shaanxi District Association, will they be able to maintain the same smile as they do now?

    ‘Furthermore, no matter how you look at it, the relationship between Ice Flame Shinryong and Geombong is unusual. It was clearly the eyes of a lover. At least I don’t know about the Ice Flame God Dragon, but I’m sure about the sword pole!’

    He remembered, albeit belatedly, that Jin Hua-ryeong had initially taken an active part in the affairs of Hyeon-seong’s clan. He even went so far as to confront Jang Mun-in of the Hwasan Sect, the head of the Samun clan.

    Considering that Jinhwaryeong usually kept a great distance from other men, I couldn’t help but feel strange.

    ‘If the sword peak tempts the Ice Flame Divine Dragon, the Ice Flame Divine Dragon will naturally fall for it. Because he too is a man. If that happens, the dying volcanic wave will not be revived but will burst into flames.’

    Gwangmunhyeop’s mind, which had already assumed the worst of the worst, finally came to a conclusion about what it had been hesitating about today.

    ‘I will protect it. No one will be able to interfere with this. ‘By any means necessary.’

    Rustling… .

    Gwangmunhyeop carefully and secretly touched the pockets in his arms and made a promise to himself.

    * * *

    “Wow… . I never thought there would come a day in my life when I would get to see the inside of Jongnampa. Even after seeing it, I still can’t believe it. ”

    “Jongnam is a provincial capital and the area where the warriors stay are completely separate, aren’t they? I’m a conduit too. I’ve been there a few times… Wow… .”

    Hwang Woong and Pyo Woong, who came to Jongnampa with me, are looking around and looking at the buildings with their mouths wide open. Anyone who sees it will think they are outsiders and not me.

    At first, I tried to go alone. However, Hwaryeong and Hwangwoong strongly opposed it.

    – What does that mean! How can the head of one clan travel alone!

    – That’s right! Everyone will look at you funny if you say that the head of the sect that visited the opening ceremony, even Hwaryongmun, Hwasan faction, and Jongnam faction, is officially active and goes alone!

    Certainly, this kind of sensibility seems to me that I have not yet moved away from modern times. I’m not going with Hwaryeong, and honestly, it’s several times more convenient and better to just go alone than to go with these guys.

    ‘But whether I like it or not, in the end, these are the people I have accepted here.’

    This is probably similar to the responsibility of those who gather and lead people.

    “Who are those people? The level of external attack of the person who took the lead is unusual… .”

    “I think I know! Recently, I heard that a new expert named Bingyeom Shinryong broke up a sect in Hwaeumhyeon!”

    “What? Ice Flame Divine Dragon? What’s with the big name? Have you achieved any great achievements?”

    While leading them, I can hear people around me whispering in this direction.

    “If it’s great, it’s great. It is said that he defeated the bandit who defeated Ghost Spear Geum Ju-hoon Daehyup and saved Ghost Spear Daehyup.”

    “Oooh… . Is that really amazing? It means that you can at least become a peak expert. But then, is it a good age to participate? ? Is it the peak in and around Irip? It’s at the level of the five dragons and three peaks! Or did you just come to see someone from your own sect participating?”

    Rumors about me had spread a little, and even people who met me for the first time seemed to know my general information.

    Of course, there were not only good words.

    “How do you believe that? Look at the faces of the guys over there right now. Doesn’t it look like a third-rate black sword?”

    “Me, me! I know that guy. He was clearly the leader of the Black Island faction called the Heuksa faction… . Did you say it was a sword of strength, perhaps?”

    “What kind of strength does this guy have when his hair is all gone?

    Hahaha!”

    “He said he would collect the bandits and guide them and use them… . In fact, wasn’t he in the same league as those bandits? After attacking the ghost window, he made it look like he had saved it.”

    “Oh, that makes sense, right?”

    “And I think the name of that sect is probably Haedongsa Newspaper. Thaw. I feel bad because I feel like I’m talking about the Dongi people.”

    Those who recognize Hwang Woong, who was a black swordsman, gossip about him, and some even criticize me and my sect’s name.

    Hwang Woong’s face turned red, including his ears, when he heard those words, but he couldn’t help it. The people who say things like that are probably at a similar level to Hwang Woong, and they probably belong to some decent sect.

    “Sorry, Moonju. because of me… .”

    He must have thought that I was being criticized because of him, so he bowed his head and apologized to me.

    Well, with nothing special. From the beginning, I was prepared for that level and made it work.

    “Don’t worry about it. You just have to do what I tell you to do well. That’s enough.”

    “Lord Moon… !”

    Don’t look touched. I’m saying that because I’m really not interested.

    Still, I am grateful that they take care of the clan’s business as if it were their own. Although it is my own karma.

    And the gossip about me, my group, and the Haedongsa Newspaper was quickly stopped by another person.

    “Who spreads such nonsense about yourself!”

    “What is it? That one… Huh! Yu, ghost spear!”

    A spearman with one eye covered by an eyepatch and smelling of blood stands in front of the man.

    Ghost window… No, it was Han Chang-moon, who is presumed to be an official of the Cheonma Shingyo, or Demonic Cult.

    “That’s gold! That wasn’t my intention to criticize Geumdaehyup… !”

    “Swearing about your benefactor, and even swearing in relation to yourself, is the ultimate insult to me. Is Cheonggeommun’s treatment of benefactors much different from mine?”

    “Si, excuse me, Daehyeop! Please forgive me!”

    “Be careful with that mouth. If you insult my benefactor, Ice Flame God Dragon, one more time, I will have no choice but to regard you as a member of the Demonic Cult and punish you.”

    “Hee, heeik–!”

    The guy who had been swearing triumphantly just now quickly ran far away, probably wanting to get out of sight.

    Geum Joo-hoon, or rather Han Chang-moon, snorted at the guy once, then swung his hand at me and lowered his head.

    “I want to meet my benefactor. It’s been a while, Hyun Sohyeop.”

    – Heavenly Demon’s Second Coming, Manmaangbok! Han Chang-moon, a lower-ranking believer, meets a higher-ranking believer.

    The words conveyed through the phone were a little different, so I, who had not yet gotten used to them, took care to greet him.

    “It’s been a while, Ghost Spear Daehyup. How have you been?”

    “I am sorry for not being able to attend the opening ceremony. Because of personal reasons.”

    “It’s okay. Anyway, it’s not like we’ll just see it once and end it.”

    “That’s right, hehehe! That’s very nice to hear! Hahahaha!!”

    – If there is anything you need from this junior member, please give us an order at any time. You can give orders through your external status, or through your church.

    Hearing the voice and the sound at the same time made me a little crazy because it felt like I was talking to two people at the same time.

    Still, I kept it because I thought it might come in handy someday.

    ‘If it’s a demonic religion, it’s where the Heavenly Demon who killed the Plum Swordsman was located.’

    Although it is quiet now, considering that espionage agents such as Han Chang-moon have been dispatched, its power does not seem to be at a level that can be ignored.

    Therefore, I tried to obtain information about the Demonic Cult through Han Chang-mun and keep a close eye on them.

    While I was paying attention to the door, a familiar but unwelcome voice tickled my ears.

    “Hehe. In the end, I ended up coming to this Shaanxi branch, the current small cooperative. It seems like he obviously said it wasn’t a good decision. Tsk.”

    “… … .”

    When I turned my eyes, there was Baek Cheol-hyeon, the master of the Hwaryongmun Gate, and his son, Baek Do-hyeon.

    Baek Cheol-hyeon sat down and clicked his tongue openly, as if he didn’t like me, and Baek Do-hyeon couldn’t even make eye contact with me, probably because he still remembered the spicy taste of that day.

    Anyway, I really don’t like it. Treating me like a subordinate.

    “And you brought the dark people all the way here. What on earth were you thinking…”

    “I would have clearly told you not to call me a small-minded person, but perhaps I have become deaf due to my age. Hwaryongmunju? Or do you have dementia?”

    “What, what?! What now! Is it true? Hwaryongmunju?! dementia!! Yes, how dare you talk to me like that! Because I lived in the mountains, I even forgot the top and bottom!!!”

    “They are members of the same sect, so what do you think? If you think about it, my teacher’s distribution seems to be roughly the same as your father’s, but I thought it would be right to change my mind now. What kind of joke is this?”

    “This guy is really… !”

    I took out Moorim’s cheat key called distribution.

    The funny thing about this is that, no matter how old you are, if you are a disciple of a martial artist who was active a long time ago or something like that, you may be treated with respect by other older people.

    ‘Then what would this person know if I lied to my virtual master?’

    I already had the concept of being the disciple of a hypothetical hermit. If you want to deny me, you would have to ask me about my identity the day I met you, but now that I can’t, I can just ignore it even if you ask me that. Otherwise, you’ll lose face.

    “Well, then reveal Master’s identity right away! So, if we look at the distribution clearly… !”

    “Unfortunately, Munju has already sworn an oath. Master’s true identity, I will keep it in my heart until his name resounds throughout the entire martial arts world. Haha.”

    “I, IiIik—! For the same reason… !”

    It’s the same as “, right? Did you just say that my oath was the same? Do you mind if I test for myself to see if Lord Hwaryongmunju has the right to speak like that?”

    “This guy is really—!”

    Crackle!

    When Hwaryongmunju saw me, the sound of teeth grinding clearly resonated between us. Just by looking at his face, you could see that he was so angry that it wouldn’t be surprising if he pulled out a knife at any moment.
