During Hwang Bo Hyo Sun’s time in the Ma Gyo sect, the person she interacted with the most was Young Ho Kyung. They were of similar age and gender, and Young Ho Kyung had the power to control any frivolous thoughts that Hwang Bo Hyo Sun might have had.
The two women were interested in each other. One was the granddaughter of the Mu Rim Sect’s leader, and the other was the daughter of the Ma Gyo sect’s leader. As representatives of the righteous and evil sides, respectively, it was strange that they had any interest in each other.
“Hwang Bo’s female disciples don’t rest from their martial arts training even here.”
Young Ho Kyung said, looking at the sword that moved like a shooting star, following the trajectory of the Milky Way Sword Technique.
It was impolite to openly watch Hwang Bo’s training in the art of household appliances, but Hwang Bo Hyo Sun was an enemy of the sect.
It was an inevitable situation where she couldn’t take her eyes off her.
“To follow my grandfather’s footsteps, I have no choice but to train.”
Even the ten-day training of the genius swordsman Hwang Bo Un Geom, who would be highly regarded even in the Mu Rim Sect, was not an easy task.
The waves of starlight that rushed from all directions narrowed down to a virtual target and gradually subsided.
Hwang Bo Hyo Sun, who was sweating and breathing heavily, turned her gaze to Young Ho Kyung, who was watching her.
“Little Sect Leader.”
“…Why?”
“What happened in Pangga, was it really…”
“It wasn’t what our sect intended. It was a sudden action by some groups. The sect leader would have said the same thing, right?”
Young Ho Kyung answered immediately, before the repeated question and answer became too much.
She didn’t expect the sect leader to apologize fully, but it was a fact.
But Hwang Bo Hyo Sun couldn’t understand.
‘Why?’
What she felt here was that the environment was extremely poor.
Even if she were the Ma Gyo sect leader, she would have invaded the central plain even if it meant the disciples would suffer.
Yet, now that the thief had fallen, they were not invading the central plain but apologizing calmly?
“Little Sect Leader, I’m sorry to interrupt our conversation, but the sect leader is looking for you.”
“Oh, I’ll see her soon.”
Just as Young Ho Kyung was about to ask what the sudden action of some groups meant and what she saw on the scene, someone sent by the sect leader came to take Young Ho Kyung away.
“Let’s go together.”
Hwang Bo Hyo Sun could only be outside because Young Ho Kyung accompanied her. As long as Young Ho Kyung had to leave, Hwang Bo Hyo Sun had to return to Yeongbingak, the guest quarters.
Hwang Bo Hyo Sun, who was trying to resume the conversation that had been cut off, soon felt that it was meaningless.
In the end, the person she was dealing with was the next leader of the Ma Gyo sect. There were limits to resolving things through conversation.
‘I need to find out what she’s hiding…!’
When Young Ho Kyung entered the leader’s room, there were nine elders lined up for the first time in a while.
There was one characteristic of the elders who were in charge of the big and small affairs of the sect and gathered around the leader.
That was, they gathered in front of the leader not to receive orders from the leader, but when they had something to say to the leader.
‘Now is the time to talk about the Blood Demon.’
It was no longer interesting to be interested in the moment of the martial arts.
“Little Sect Leader, come here.”
Following the leader’s call, Young Ho Kyung looked at the faces of the elders standing next to the leader.
There was the first elder who was absolutely loyal to the leader, the seven elders who followed him, and the nine elders who expressed reverence towards the leader but held opposing views.
“Now that everyone is here, speak up. What do you want to ask me?”
The leader looked around and spoke, and the first elder, Hwang Du Myung, bowed his head and spoke.
“Leader, do you know about the recent incident where the Black Demon Sect fought against a guest who was in the leader’s room?”
“I know. I was watching from the side.”
“I heard that the person looks very similar to the one known as Kang Ho… I came to ask if the leader knows anything about it.”
This was unexpected. The first elder seemed to have grasped the Blood Demon priest’s impression faster than expected.
“If the person I know is really him, I want to confirm with the leader what it means that he is in the gang and known as a member of the righteous faction… Is that okay?”
“Hmm…”
The leader touched her chin and looked at the first elder.
“Before that, there’s something I need to tell you.”
“…What is it?”
“The incident that your subordinates caused in Pangga in the north… The sect has admitted to being negligent in management and has decided to apologize.”
“What?”
The first elder looked like he had misheard something.
“Leader, what are you talking about!”
“Yes, an apology! Hasn’t the sect done everything it could by executing those who acted unilaterally?”
Even as the elders of the main sect gathered and made a loud noise, the first elder kept his mouth shut and just watched the leader.
“Quiet down.”
The words of the elders, who were chattering like merchants, stopped abruptly. It was as if their words were being cut off from their mouths.
“I know what you all want. You want to suck the blood out of the righteous faction. Depending on the situation, the main sect is ready to engage in a full-scale war with them.”
“…”
“But that’s something I, as the leader, must decide for the future of the main sect. If you don’t deny the principle of the strongman of the main sect, then you can’t say I’m wrong.”
Even though Young Ho Kyung wasn’t directly facing the leader’s momentum from behind, he could still feel the weight of the leader’s momentum.
“I’ve let it go until now because I sympathized with what you all wanted, but I won’t allow you to do things behind my back anymore. Especially you, Elder.”
“Yes, Leader.”
“Don’t think I don’t know that your subordinates follow you very well.”
At the leader’s warning that she knew that the incident in Pangga was the Elder’s doing, the Elder bowed his head with a pale expression.
Young Ho Kyung nodded his head as he saw the leader, who had been negligent until now, actively pressuring the elders.
“Now, since I’m done talking, let’s answer the Elder’s question. You saw him. He is the recently emerged saint in Kang Ho, Son Ryong Kang Yun.”
Suspicious of the leader’s behavior, Young Ho Kyung wondered if the leader had prepared for this situation.
“Huh, is he the one you sent to the Central Forest, Leader?”
“You never give up, do you? Elder, don’t try to twist my intentions like that. Don’t you know that I already told you that?”
“…”
“He has nothing to do with me. But his master is closely related to me.”
“If you say his master…?”
“It’s almost time for him to arrive… Ah, it seems he has arrived.”
The martial arts level of the people here is at least at the peak intermediate level.
There was no reason why they couldn’t feel the energy of the two people approaching Daejeon.
“No… that person is…!”
As soon as some people confirmed the face of one of the two people who passed through the door, they couldn’t help but let out a groan of astonishment.
“Blood Demon…!”
I didn’t know what to do under my master’s gaze.
It’s a simple story. As a result of the martial arts, many people in the Ma Gyo sect became interested in our identity.
Eventually, our identity will be revealed over time, and when they find out that the Blood Demon is in their headquarters, they will be shocked.
It’s better to take the initiative and introduce ourselves when we gather people.
“You’ve done something, so show your face at least once,” said the leader of the Ma Gyo sect. As the leader, she didn’t have much control over the elder, but she had sensed that he was having an affair with Chae Soo. She was threatening the elder to show his face to avoid rumors spreading about him raping a married woman in someone else’s house.
“Your, your blood demon… It’s you…!”
The elder was looking at the priest with wide eyes, and I was out of his sight.
But I still remembered how this bastard had made Yang Ha Jung suffer.
“I don’t know who you are, but nice to meet you. I am the ‘colored’ Blood Demon, Lee Ja Sung.”
The priest deliberately emphasized the word ‘colored’ as she stood in the midst of the elders’ gazes.
Then the leader opened her mouth and introduced us.
“I haven’t introduced them to you yet, but these two have been staying in the leader’s quarters as guests.”
She emphasized the leader’s quarters, probably to emphasize that it was a personal invitation from the leader’s family.
But one of the elders, who was almost at the bottom of the elders, didn’t seem to understand her words and stepped forward like thunder.
“So, Blood Demon Dae Hyeop is coming to our sect…”
“Eighth elder, step back.”
The leader spoke mercilessly. The eighth elder was almost at the bottom of the elders.
‘I know why he’s at the bottom.’
“I didn’t call these two. The female leader personally invited them.”
To be precise, I was the one who was invited, and the priest followed me because he was worried about me.
“But I’ll make it clear. Even if the Blood Demon intends to join us, we will try to avoid a full-scale war as much as possible.”
“Leader, what does that mean…?”
Young Ho Kyung opened his mouth in astonishment. It seemed that the lady had a different idea than the others.
While they were talking among themselves with the guests, I stood there awkwardly and sent a message to the priest.
[Priest, when are we leaving?]
[If it weren’t for you, we would have left when they started talking, you idiot.]
I became a little smaller at the priest’s words. Yes, I am a sinner.
Some said that if there was an overwhelming force, it would be right to attack.
Some fought a big fight, saying that if they couldn’t maintain their rule for a long time, they might as well avoid a full-scale war.
‘Oh, so that’s why they’re holding back?’
Officially, the two factions had an equal number of absolute masters, but in reality, the Sa Pa faction was far superior.
One of the six masters of the Jeong Pa faction was unable to participate due to injury.
On the other hand, the Sa Pa faction had six absolute masters, including Young Ho Kyung, while the Jeong Pa faction had only five, excluding one who was injured.
Moreover, even if we only consider the people that the Ma Gyo sect possessed, they had three absolute masters. So, in the beginning, they could have easily attacked us unilaterally. I wondered why they were holding back, but now I understood that there was a reason for it.
As I was nodding my head in agreement, my eyes met with the eighth elder, who had been asking earlier if the leader was going to sacrifice herself to the Ma Gyo sect.
“Oh, oh ho, did you say Kang So Hyup? Why don’t you tell us what you think? What do you think is the right thing to do here?”
What the hell, why are you dragging outsiders into this conversation?
I thought someone would give the eighth elder a warning, especially the leader, but no one stopped him, and the leader just looked at me with an interested gaze and opened her mouth.
“I see. Let’s hear your opinion. What do you think our sect should do?”
And as soon as she finished speaking, she whispered something under her breath.
“Room… four. Room four sex?”
So, if I didn’t answer here, I would be screwed with a sex scandal. What a fucking bastard.
