Chapter 99 – 100. The Turbulent Midfield
-The Demonic Cult is in motion!
People who heard this news for the first time often cursed at it, saying it was nonsense.
When was the Demonic Cult?
They must have suffered devastating damage at the hands of Lee Jae-won, the absolute warrior called the lord of heaven and the first person in the world twenty years ago.
The Great Emperor of the Heavenly Demon was turned into blood on the spot and countless demons were also plucked on the spot.
Many Murim people watched.
So they could be assertive.
I mean, it’s just nonsense.
However, they could not ignore the rumors that followed.
The starting point of the Demonic Cult was the Sichuan Tang Gate.
The Dangmen suffered devastating damage due to the demonic cult’s attack, and rumors that many people were going back and forth between life and death were a bonus.
The people couldn’t help but be astonished.
Where the hell is Sichuan Tang Gate?
Isn’t it one of the most prestigious families that are said to be the first generation in Jungwon beyond the first in Sichuan?
It was Sacheondangmun that was experiencing a booming period due to the strongest and most powerful family head among the six generations of Jungwon.
But, did you think that Sichuan Tang Gate suffered devastating damage from the demonic cult’s attack?
It was unbelievable,
The head of the household, Dokwang Dang Jin-cheol, was a master who had reached the Hwagyeong stage, and only the master masters under his command were over thirty.
The climax of the master was added.
Excluding the Cheonmu-maeng, it was truly absurd that a place that prided itself on being the strongest among single powers was destroyed in a matter of hours.
However, the details of the situation that were heard one after another and the party’s move to reduce businesses coincided, and the majority of people knew that the rumor was true.
According to rumors, all the masters of the three families died, and Dangaju also reached the point of going back and forth between life and death.
Upon hearing the rumors, many people’s eyes twinkled.
There is no one who can protect the party family that has countless elixirs, countless savings, and countless wealth.
Numerous Murim people started heading to Danga to get Konggo water.
He thought that if he was lucky, he could get his hands on the treasure of the Tang family.
The Tang family, which had been devastated by the Demonic Cult, began to gather in the wind again.
*************
Hearing the news of the damage to the Tang family, the chieftain of Qingcheng, Chik Songja, smiled very satisfied.
It was a party song that I still regarded as a thorn in my eyes.
However, to hear that such a Dangga suffered near-destruction damage from the Demonic Cult made me want to dance at least.
Of course, it was not something I would have thought of as a leader of the Cheongseong faction, one of the great political faction forces called the Gupabang.
But the consignor didn’t care.
Of course, the existence of the Demonic Cult was at stake, but he didn’t worry.
According to rumors, it was said that he was robbed of an empty house while the main power of the Tang family was out.
It was an insanely stupid idea.
It means that the warriors who will protect the most important family are away.
Their mistake brought about the worst result of destruction.
If it were them, they wouldn’t have made such a mistake.
It was Danga that was stupid.
Jeoksongja’s interest was somewhere other than the Demonic Cult.
It was the devastating damage to the Tang family.
How much damage has been caused by the existence of the Tang family?
The Qingsheng Sect was a sect located on Qingsheng Mountain, located in the northwest of Chengdu, Sichuan Province.
Basically, most of the operating expenses of the sect are met by receiving requests from the sect itself, receiving regular donations from the sectarian disciples after accepting them, or running a business directly.
In particular, the quality and quantity of donations vary depending on the number of secular disciples, and in the case of business operations, secular disciples are often used.
From the point of view of the munpa operation, it is preferred to increase the number of secular disciples rather than the bonsan disciples who do not make money.
In general, entering a secular family is simply learning the martial arts of a Munpa in a narrow sense, but in a broader sense, it is in line with the saying that you pay money and enter the shadow of a Munpa.
It is to pay money and buy the value of their name.
This is because the daemun faction’s sokga military corps will be more popular than the general military ranks, and the guild under the protection of the daemun faction is more likely to receive trust than the general guild.
So, if you usually put a disciple in the middle of the day
In the case of shopping districts, there were many cases where they became secular disciples of the munpa, who corresponded to the local residents of the provinces where major businesses were located.
However, in the case of Cheongseongpa located in Sacheon,
The number of secular disciples was on the low side, at the level of half and half.
As for the reason, other giant powers in Sacheon were the problem.
There were not only Qingsong factions in Sacheon.
In Mt. Amisan, located not far away, there was another old school called Amipa, and in Sichuan Province, there was Sacheondangga, one of the six Moorim clans.
Geographically, it is a very unfavorable location.
In the end, the operation of the Munpa was a battle for the numbers of the secular disciples.
The more secular disciples there were, the richer and stronger the clan became, and the fewer there were, the poorer and weaker it became.
The Qingsheng faction was impoverished and was on the decline.
This is all because of the Sichuan Tang Gate.
Basically, the reason why the disciples of the secular family enter the school is to make connections in business rather than to learn martial arts.
Because of this, he entered the secular family of the most powerful clan in the region.
But what if the business doesn’t work well in that province?
You will not need to go inside.
The current situation in Qingcheng was exactly that.
Currently, Sichuan Tangmen is strong enough to exceed the first in Sichuan and the first in central plains, and it has operated numerous businesses.
That is why no one dares to open a business in Sichuan.
This is because Sichuan was the main business of the Tang family.
This naturally led to poverty in Qingcheng.
No matter how much one recruits internal discipleship, people do not gather.
There were many students aiming for no operation, but they did not make money.
Since Amifa was the only sect made up of only women, it was rather better than Cheongseong.
This is because many women from prestigious families knocked on Amipah’s door.
But hearing was different.
Being hit by the Party and being hit by the Amifah, it is inevitable that they will naturally become poor.
But the party is ruined,
That’s almost to the point of extinction.
How can you feel bad
Haha”
Jeoksongja forgot his body language and just burst out laughing.
It was pleasant.
I began to feel fleetingly happy.
How heartbreaking it must have been to see disciples wearing uniforms that had been patched up.
I had to feed meat to grow muscles, but how painful it was to feed Byeokgokdan because I had no money.
Rain leaked in the old palace, but I didn’t have enough money to repair it, so how long has it been since I left it alone?
Now, the time of sorrow and suffering due to lack of money is over.
Hehesaid it’s been 10 years, and after exactly 10 years, he falls down.”
The concubine started to let out a sinister laugh.
All in his head was the idea of engulfing the Tang family business.
“Are there any crabs!!!”
Jeoksongja, who was sitting in the office, shouted outside.
“Calling a Munpa meeting right now!”
A pervasive smile hung over the face of the screaming Red Song.
That night, Jeoksongja went to the Tang family through a school meeting and summoned the people to take over the business, and the first and second disciples, including the elder, went down to the Tang gate.
Their faces were filled with strange heat.
***********
There is a steep mountain in Amisan in Sichuan Province, and among them, there is a temple called Bokhosa on the main peak, Geumjeongbong, where the prestigious Amipa, who is in charge of one axis of the Gupabang, is located.
Amipa was a Buddhist sect that had a peculiar custom of accepting only women as literati.
In a word, it can be said that it is a forbidden zone.
For this reason, many Murim family members who wanted to have a relationship with them preferred to have their women enter as Amipa’s internal discipleship, and Amipa welcomed this and did not hesitate to accept it as an internal family disciple.
Thanks to this, Amipa became a sect with a uniquely large number of female secular disciples among the Gupa, and was able to raise enough funds to run the sect with the donations they send every year.
But in the case of the female
It was rare to open a military rank or form an upper rank, so it had the disadvantage of having to cover the operating expenses of the munpa only with donations.
This is because even in Sega or the upper class, when women are sent for health care or networking purposes, they are rarely sent for business purposes.
That is why the Amipa, although not as poor as the Qingsongpa, had no foothold to grow.
Of course, there is a way to run a business, but Sichuan was already monopolized by a large number of businesses called Tangmen.
Amifah hadn’t even dared to start or run a business.
Guwolsinni, the long-time leader of Amifa, was always dissatisfied and worried about it.
Compared to the Cheongseongpa, the circumstances are better, but they are missing an opportunity to grow.
By a huge tiger named Danga who occupies Sichuan.
However, rumors came to her that her party had suffered damage close to destruction.
At first, he denied it, saying it couldn’t be the case, but soon it turned out that the rumor was true.
Guwolshinni was able to get pleasure.
Twenty years ago, the power composition of Tang, Cheongseong, and Army was in an even situation.
However, the situation took a completely different turn when a girl from the Tang family became the wife of Lee Jae-won, an absolute military leader.
It wasn’t long before he took the hegemony of Sacheon, and in the 10th year, he rose to the top as the first in central plains.
As a result, the Qingsong faction and the Ami faction, which shared the area with the Sichuan Tangmen, suffered a significant blow.
Of course, the biggest hit was the Cheongseongpa, which overlapped businesses, but Amipa also suffered considerable damage.
The number of secular disciples who came in began to decrease gradually, and most of the businesses they were running were taken away by the Tang family.
Unlike the Buddhist Ami faction and the Talented Qingseong faction, Dangmoon developed an outright earning of money, and did not hesitate to do cruel things for profit.
The Qingshengpa and Amifa had no choice but to watch it while sucking their fingers, and walked the path of decline.
However, I couldn’t help but be happy that the Tang family suffered damage close to extinction.
Guwolsinni immediately called a Munpa meeting on that road.
Upon entering the meeting room, numerous elders and disciples were gathered and chatting.
Their faces were full of strange heat.
They also know.
I mean the destruction of the Tang family.
“Quiet!”
Guwolsinni raised her voice as she saw them.
I know you’re excited, but now is the time to have a meeting.
“I think everyone knows the rumors related to the Tang family. They suffered a near-destructive blow from the invasion of the Demonic Cult, right?”
“That’s right. Jangmunin”
The elder next to her answered.
“First of all, regarding this matter, the Cheonmu-maeng side promised to dispatch Baekho-dang as a support unit. At least, you won’t be helpless like the Tang family.”
From Lee Jae-won’s point of view, who loves women, Amipa, who nurtures strong and colorful women, was a fleeting and precious existence.
Therefore, at their request, he declared that he would send a major force called Baekhodang.
The elders of Amipah, who did not know his intentions, admired him.
“As expected, Lord Lord is merciful.”
“You know how serious the situation is.”
“Looks like you’ve had a good time now. It’s Baekhodang.”
A smile appeared on the lips of the elders and disciples.
It was because he thought that all of this was because of his own way of life.
“So, putting aside the issue of the Demonic Cult, I’m going to talk about a more national story from the perspective of the Clan. Three Elders, how many businesses have we lost to the Monarchy over the past 20 years?”
“Twenty-two to be exact.”
The three elders got up from her seat and answered her.
“I’m going to use this opportunity to get back all the businesses that were stolen. What do the elders think?”
“I agree!”
“I agree!”
“I agree!”
Numerous elders agreed with Kuwolsinni’s words.
Stealing a business means that the clan will become stronger, so how can you hate it?
“Anyway, the Tang family can’t afford to manage the business right now. It’s strict, but wouldn’t it be better to hand it over to the original owner than to be taken away?”
“You’re right!”
“I agree. Jang Moon-in”
Guwolshinni smiled very satisfied with their reaction.
Even though they held it tight, they were also warriors of the Munpa.
The desire to increase power and the desire to become even more powerful must be the same.
“Okay. Then, I’m summoning the negotiators to go down to the party right away.”
“I’ll go. Jang Moon-in”
At that time, the elder five, who had a rugged body for a woman, stepped forward and spoke.
Among her elders, she had a reputation for being especially strong in martial arts.
“The five elders are reliable. I also recommend the five elders.”
“The five elders should be able to bring the business easily.”
All of her enthusiastically cheered her on.
It was said to be negotiations, but the inside story was extortion under the guise of threats.
In that sense, the five elders with strong martial arts would be perfect.
“Elder Five, do you have someone to take with you?”
Guwolshinni asked her.
She had already nominated the elder five as the person in charge of this negotiation.
She will find no one better suited to her bargain than she is.
“I am going to take ten disciples of the first and twenty disciples of the second.”
It was very good.
That would be enough armed demonstration.
“Okay. Next, let’s talk about selling the business.”
They have already started talking about the business as if it were theirs.
Laughter bloomed in the meeting room, and everyone was able to leave the meeting room with a flushed expression.
And the next day, many of her disciples, including the elder Oh, headed for the Tang Gate.
There was a strange heat on their faces.
************
“Hmm, the bloodbow squad and the goblin squad were all wiped out…”
A man in black said while stroking his chin.
“Yes, but in the aftermath, the Tang family also suffered near extinction damage.”
A middle-aged man next to him took his words.
“It’s not extinction.”
“I’ll erase it right away.”
The man spoke urgently.
“It’s okay, if you take that much damage anyway, it will collapse on its own.”
“But…”
“On the outside, it pretends to be fair, but on the inside, it is not the political faction that is more sinister than anyone else. The Tang family will be destroyed by the political faction.”
The man spoke confidently.
He was a man who knew better than anyone about the nature of political factions.
Even if you don’t lift a hand, the Tang family will perish.
“By the way, what happened to the dogs of the North Sea?”
“I announced the news of the resurrection of the master, but there is no message.”
“Have you changed ships?”
“Nothing has been confirmed yet.”
“It’s fun.”
At the middle-aged man’s words, the man raised an eyebrow.
It seemed that he had slept for too long.
The dog doesn’t know its owner.
“Try contacting them a few more times and if they don’t listen, send the Sword Demon.”
Burrr
The middle-aged man trembled.
It was because just hearing the name Sword Demon made me feel fear.
If the heavenly horse made people feel awe, the sword horse made them feel fear.
“All right.”
The middle-aged person stood up after bowing deeply to her.
‘I hope you make the right choice. Ice Palace Lord.’
And inwardly, he prayed for the peace of the North Sea Ice Palace.
