Chapter 80 – Chapter 16 (5)

Roaring!

When the moaning was over and the lights were turned on again, Jincheon and Cheon Hyeun were each overpowering the masked man.
And someone appeared on one side of the wall.

“Forgive me for the rudeness, it was to check how well you handle an unexpected surprise attack.”

When the middle-aged man with a literary appearance and atmosphere respectfully bowed his head, Jincheon and Cheon Hyeun confirmed that the weapons of those who attacked them were too blunt, so it was easier to beat them to death than to cut them down, and let them go.

“It’s perfect for filtering out the high-grade smallfish.”
“Those who received high marks for their diligence are trustworthy, but we couldn’t help it because what we needed was not diligence, but skill.”

The munsa added additional explanations, like excuses, because he wanted Jincheon and Cheon Hyeun to tell the other ronin.

“It’s a bit late to introduce you. I’m Son Yura, the branch manager of the Muchang branch of the Nanginhoe. You can think of these clients as a kind of testers to filter out the talented.”

Jincheon felt intuition that the literary master was in charge of hosting talented people who could enter this place, not a rough and unspecified number of ronin at the same time as doing all kinds of paperwork.

“I don’t know if someone else is coming, so let’s go to this place first.”

Son Yu led them to a space beyond the wall that one person could enter.
It was a wall on the outside and a door with a handle on the inside.

Outside, if it was just for show, I could feel the atmosphere of a tidy reception room.

“It’s an honor to meet the new deity, Okmyeonssangryeo. Besides, looking at the ability to defeat them, it’s absolutely not just luck.”
“Pu-Hup…Ke-Hum! K-Hum! It’s called Jincheon.”
“My name is Cheon Hye-woon.”

Hearing the nickname Okmyeonssangryo from others, Jincheon, who was about to explode again, managed to make up her mind and told her her name.

For reference, the reason why Jincheon uses honorific words differently than usual is because the other person treated him politely first, despite the age difference.

He only reacts sensitively to opponents who want to quarrel, but if you treat him normally and politely, he will respond like a normal person.

“I’ll explain it directly. I’m asking for an escort from Jegal Sega to Hanam.
“But if that’s the case, why would we…Ah, come to think of it, this period…”

The moment Cheon Hye-woon realized something and was about to say something, Son Yu nodded her head and replied.

“That’s right. It’s time for the Yongbong branch to be held in the Jeongmu-maeng of Hanam.”

In the political faction, the later index is likened to a dragon and a stick.
That’s why the Yongbong Branch is like a kind of banquet made up of late exponents.
Such a banquet where the later exponents get acquainted with each other, build friendships, and engage in sparring.

In the Yongbong branch, a martial arts competition of late exponents takes place, and if you win here, you can enter the Oryongsambong.

In other words, if you enter here, it is the same as the glory of the family and the munpa.

As the unity of the political factions weakened due to the Jangbo-do incident, the power of the alliance, the Jeongmu-maeng, also weakened.

In other words, conversely, if the Jeongmu-maeng is disbanded, it means that the solidarity of the political faction, the Murim, will completely disappear.

“The world has become very harsh these days, so it’s hard to believe even the same political faction. This is expected, but it seems that the political faction wants to show its intention to unite through the Yongbong Branch without further division.”

In the past, it was a fight between a political faction and a private faction, but now, as in the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, the same political faction and Sa faction are fighting against each other.

Certainly, opening the Yongbong Branch in this situation would have such a meaning.

The Jegal Sega is a huge Munpa.
In other words, it means that there are a lot of munpas with whom they have a relationship, and there are many people who have a grudge among them.

In addition, since even the same political faction is in a state of unbelievable tension, he made a request to protect the future of the Jegal Sega by adding an additional trustworthy ronin with excellent skills along with the escorts.

“Here is the contract. Notices and provisions are written.”

Jincheon received the contract, but to be honest, he was not very attracted to this request.

‘What I want is a large number of things that increase my reputation at once, not an escort like this.’

The amount is 10 gold coins.
Although it is a considerable amount of money to earn with just one escort, Jincheon’s first goal was to promote his reputation.

-Commercial, accept this request.-
-Why?-

At that time, Cheon Hye-woon’s whole tone was delivered to him.

– Hanam is a place that can be said to be the center of the Jungwon Moorim. It is a land with many talented warriors because it is home to the Jeongmu-maeng, which can still be maintained with a long tradition, the Shaolin Temple, which can be said to be the best sect, and the Dok-go family, the strongest Moorim family.

‘Tax alone?’

In Moorim novels, there are numerous generations of families along with the five generations, but I have never heard of the Dokgo family.

‘I guess it’s an independent setting that only exists in this world.’

Although he casually handed over the story of Dokgo family, he could not ignore Cheon Hye-woon’s words.

‘This is because Hanam is the center of the Jungwon Murim. Then there must be just as many Murim people, and among them there may be females I like.’

He and Cheon Hye-woon’s skills are excellent, and they are getting stronger as time goes by, so they will be able to play an active part in Hanam Moorim.
And also looking for his own female.

For reference, Cheon Hye-un believed that developing his skills was important as well as his reputation as a Moorim person, so he encouraged Jin-cheon to build up his skills by dealing with numerous warriors.

Even though she was forced to live a life of an unemployed person again, it was possible because the habit of helping her husband became a daily routine.

Motivated, Jincheon confirmed the contents and accepted the request with a nod of his head.

“At this rate, I accept requests. Oh, but this side is still a neckerchief, is that okay?”
“It will take a while for me too, but once you have overpowered the examiners from the Jegal family… And if your husband vouches for it, I think it will be enough.”

‘My husband said~ Kyaa~~♡”

Cheon Hye-wun smiled pleasantly at her line of Son Yoo, who used a title only available to men and women in her marital relationship.

In this way, she became an escort for Jincheon and Zhuge Sega and decided to go to Henan.
And, this trip became an opportunity to meet two men who would have the greatest influence on Moorimsa in the future.

*        *

Any cave.

“Collapse the 4th line of defense!”
“This is the last line of defense! Everyone prepare!”
“Everyone, don’t back down! Show us the spirit of our Pacheonhoe!”

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
The weather of Pacheonhoe? Do not be ridiculous!
What a fucking mood for those who used to gossip!

I cursed like this, but my body was filled with Pacheonhoe from the top of my head to my toes.

Miraculous medicine, martial arts, all received from Pacheonhoe.
I can say that I have nothing of my own.

Kwajik!

The thick iron gate shakes greatly at the strong impact.

Kwajijik!

Then, an even stronger impact knocked on the iron door, and one of the doors tilted.

Wow!

As the iron gate collapsed in the third attack, countless warriors from the sect, the Sapa, and the Demonic Cult rushed in.

“Evil Pacheonhoe bastards! I, the Murim lord Baek Gang-cheon, have come to condemn you guys!”
“Wowaaaaa!!”

Seeing the tall handsome man standing in front of me, I lost my fighting spirit at the sound of a majestic yet powerful voice that made me want to kneel at any moment.

On the other hand, the soldiers of Jeongsama behind him shouted with their morale rising even more.

Murim lord Baek Kang-cheon.
At a young age, he is the strongest warrior in Murim and the leader of the ‘Murim Alliance’, which unites the Righteous Sect, Safa, and Demonic Cult.

He was a positional being who raised the beacon of a counterattack against Pacheonhoe after uniting those who could not unite as one.

“Kill the Murim lord!”
“If we only kill the Murim lord, we can win!”

High-ranking executives of the Pacheonhoe raised their voices and shouted to kill Baek Gang-man, the Murim lord.

I burst out laughing at their cries.
If we kill Baek Gang-cheon, we win?
The whole Pacheon meeting has already collapsed?
What’s left of the Pacheonhoe are us and the Pacheonhoeju behind us?

Even if we are lucky enough to kill Baek Kang-cheon, even if they push in without any tactics, we’re done?

However, I couldn’t laugh at the orders of the officers.
Because that was the last thing I could do.

“Charge!!”
“Die!”
“Aaaaa!”

At the shouts of the officers, the warriors of the Pacheonhoe rushed at them with a spirit close to screaming.
They know it too.
Even if we win or lose, we die.
That Pacheonhoe is already over.

I rushed in with the feeling that I would make a last-ditch effort.
At that time, a warrior of a certain sect rushed towards me.

“Jegaljin! To join the Pacheonhoe while inheriting the lineage of the Jegal family! Aren’t you ashamed to see your ancestors!”

Yeah no shame

Chew!

“Keuk!”

I showed my presence by slashing the warrior who ran towards me with the martial arts and sword I received from the Pacheonhoe.

“There is Zhuge Jin!”
“Amryong Jegaljin! Die!”
“You bastard is the disgrace of the faction!”

The political faction guys who recognized me spit out curses and attacked like crazy.

Can-can-can-can! Chow! Hooked!

If I was going to die anyway, I wanted to use all my strength and die.

Even thinking about it, I am amazed that I was able to fight so well.
However, in other places, all situations have already been closed.

“Keuheouk!”
“Bae… Baekgang… Cheon…! If it wasn’t just you…!”
“Even if I die… I will curse you…!”

Baek Kang-cheon stepped forward and executed all the executives.

After that, the remaining Pacheonhoe warriors died one by one, and when I eventually came to my senses, both of my arms were cut off and I was on my knees.

“Amryong, Zhuge Jin. A traitor who destroyed the Kimunjin that protected Jegal Sei, and plunged Jegal Sega into extinction.”
“Immediately! Immediately! Immediately!”
“Kill! Kill!”
“I, the Murim lord, will eradicate you on behalf of the rightist faction Murim.”

As if judging me, the appearance of Baek Kang-cheon raising his sword while receiving cheers and support from countless warriors was like a hero, and I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

I wanted to be a hero like you too!
I didn’t want to go to a place like Pacheonhoe!
But! But they were ignored because they were dirty blood!

No one has reached out a hand to save me!
I didn’t even tell you martial arts! No one gave me a chance!
There’s nothing you can do! I wanted to be strong too!
Be strong like you! I wanted to become a hero of Moorim!

However, my cry did not come out of my mouth.
It was because Baek Gangcheon’s sword was descending with the momentum to cut off my head before that.
At the same time, I felt a kaleidoscope.

An illegitimate son born by the family head of the Jegal family who committed adultery.
That’s me
Therefore, even the servants of the Jegal family were treated worse, and they were not able to learn the martial arts of the Zhuge family.
I spent the years of being the weak, ignored by everyone and harassed by everyone.

In the meantime, a place called Pacheonhoe approached me.
If you do their favor, they will give you martial arts and elixir.
Wanting to gain strength, I nodded my head without hesitation.

However, what they wanted was damage to Kimundunjin, which protects the home of the Zhuge family.

Kimundunjin is very strong against external attacks, but has a weakness of being very vulnerable to internal attacks.

At first, I was surprised by the request, but I, mad with hatred for Jegal Sega, happily accepted the offer.

It seems like self-praise, but I think I was smart and talented.

I predicted the location of Kimundunjin and undermined the method of formation, and quickly acquired the martial arts I received from Pacheonhoe and quickly rose to the ranks of a first-class master.

What was left of me who did such a thing was the hatred and hatred of Jegalse, the nickname ‘Dark Dragon’ who betrayed the political faction, and the political faction Murim people.

And when the sword came down to my head, I widened my eyes, saying that at least I wouldn’t die like a coward.

Kwajijik!

The moment I felt the pain of the blade cutting my hair, I heard a tremendous sound and the world stopped.

No description or joke, really the world has stopped.
The warriors who were cheering enthusiastically opened their mouths wide and did not blink an eye.
Except for one person, the Murim lord Baek Kang-cheon.

“What? Power outage? Did lightning strike?”

Baek Kang-chun looked around and scratched his head in irritation.

“I’m glad I didn’t suddenly black out, though, thanks to the auxiliary power.”

I wanted to ask him what the hell he was talking about.
But, as well as everyone else, I had to listen to him talking to himself because nothing could move.

“It’s about time to contact the seller… Well, since it’s an all-clear save, we can move on as it is.”

After those words, Baek Gang-cheon disappeared, and at the same time, the world began to collapse.

What!? What the hell is going on!
Please someone explain!

My cries couldn’t get out of my hardened body, and my memory was cut off as I watched people disintegrate.

What I vaguely remember is that I was trapped in a space that I couldn’t get out of on my own, and then bang! It is said that consciousness returned with a feeling of floating with the sound.

“Uh?”

When I opened my eyes, I could see a familiar ceiling and a room with a familiar atmosphere.

“Are you awake?”

At the same time, the servant of Jegal Sega, who always looked at me like a bug, opened his mouth as if it was annoying.

“Ac. If you wake up, get out of bed quickly! You’re squirming dirty!”

This… What the hell is going on… ?

I got out of bed while listening to the servant’s curse.
When I betrayed the Pacheonhoe, you brutally killed that guy while destroying the Jegal Sega and gave it to him as dog food?

I came to my senses, prepared to be treated like a madman, and asked for the current year.

And what a shocking fact I found out.
I’m back 10 years ago.

Instinctively, the world stopped, Baek Kang-cheon, who moved alone, speaking incomprehensible words.

Convinced that there is Baekgangcheon at the center of all of this, I studied the world carefully for three years, learning the martial arts I had learned during the Pacheonhoe.

Returning to the past, what surprised me the most was that Baek Gang-cheon did not exist.

It is normal for Baegangcheon to be known as the best late index in Moorim at this time.
In particular, he is regarded as the strongest candidate for the championship of the upcoming Yongfong Branch, and the entire midfield must talk about his name.

But no one knows Baekgangcheon.
It completely ceased to exist.
Why? Why? Wherefore?

I still don’t know the answer to this question.
However, one thing was clear.
Baek Kang-cheon’s talents! If I have them… !

A second chance came to me.
This time, I will not be the dark dragon of Pacheonhoe, but I will become the strongest warrior that no one in Moorim can ignore!

In an instant, I recalled the image of Baegangcheon, which was about to cut down on me, and changed my plan.

He is not the strongest martial artist.
Hero.
I will be a hero
