Chapter 79 – Interlude – Moorim Meng
Jeongcheon Seomun.
He was born as the legitimate eldest son of the Seomun family, and was originally a man who was appointed to the position of the next family head.
But when he came to terms, he suddenly declared giving up Gaju.
Instead of being the head of one of the most prestigious families in the world, what he chose was a sword.
In this way, Seomunjeongcheon refused to even marry and continued training in order to reach the pinnacle of the sword.
Seomun Jeong-cheon, who was originally proud of his outstanding talent, finally earned the great name of the best sword under heaven on his back after half a hundred years.
Following the leader of the Seomun family, he was promoted to the position of Murim lord after Dokgopae stepped down.
As a martial artist who trained only with the sword all his life, Seomun Jeongcheon’s bamboo-like personality was famous throughout the Moorim.
Everyone inside the conference hall waited for Seomun Jeongcheon’s next words.
“Bio conveying sincere gratitude to those who gathered despite the hastily convened meeting. First, let’s take a moment of silence for the victims.”
People inside the conference hall, led by Seomun Jeongcheon, closed their eyes and silently bowed. After the silent ceremony, Seomun Jeongcheon opened his mouth. A voice filled with inner strength resonated in the conference room.
“I think everyone has seen the materials that were distributed in advance. Other than that, it’s really disastrous. In the realm of the obvious White Island Murim League. To think that more than 1,000 people were extorted and sacrificed for biological experiments. As the chieftain of the White Sword Murim League, I feel a deep sense of responsibility.”
Looking at Seomun Jeongcheon, who gave a speech with a heavy expression, everyone’s expressions hardened moment by moment.
“It seems the lord won’t just pass by.”
“Well, the evidence is…”
Whispering around, I glanced at the gate. At the continued speeches of Seomun Jeongcheon and the repeated whispers of the people, the man in Nokpo’s complexion turned reddish-purple.
“I will tell you directly. There are only two groups involved in this case. A religious group called Blood Religion, and the gate. This leader feels a deep sense of responsibility, and promises a thorough investigation into the case by organizing an investigation team directly under the leader. Any questions?”
Boom- The nokpo man immediately jumped out of his seat and got up.
“This is our voice. In Maeng, I am in charge of the comic group, 萬花團. Can I say a few words?”
“Tell me.”
Preface Zhengcheng nodded her head.
“I tried to be patient, but isn’t everyone going too far? To believe only the words of the Demonic Cult and slander our party! Among members of the same political faction. I swear to heaven that I have tried to pursue righteousness and harmony!”
“Heung, what is righteousness and cooperation? The one who just said the extermination of the main text.”
Immediately, the man at Cheolryeongmun snorted and muttered. He could hear the sound of hissing around him, but he tried to ignore it and continued talking with a blushing face.
“Just hearing about it, it seems as if the religious group called Blood Religion and our party were in some kind of collusion! I’ve heard that it’s a fact that was discovered by an unheard-of Demonic Cult called the Red Dragon Corps, can you believe it? I do not believe that information is reliable!”
“I will correct one thing.”
Seomun Jeongcheon intervened in the middle.
“Correction?”
The sound of the party furrowed his brow.
“The Jeokryongdae is the direct armed force created by the second disciple of the Heavenly Demon, Cheonweigang. It cannot be regarded as a simple unheard-of group.”
“Do you think I don’t even know that? I was going to say something to the lord about mine. I heard that the second disciple is a cadet at Jungwon Martial Arts Academy? The academy, which is supposed to nurture the spirit of the right faction, is visited by evil enemies of the Demonic Cult! This is nothing but impossible!”
“…Doesn’t this seem like the right time to discuss that? Whoever said it, the evidence is clear. Look at them.”
On the huge display in front, the faces and identities of the people captivated by the Church of the Heavenly Demon appeared. An old man in a green robe and people who looked like researchers were reflected on the screen.
“Are you saying that the party has nothing to do with it?”
“That old man is from the Tang Dynasty. However, he is the one who went missing due to dementia a long time ago. We are also surprised.”
“I don’t think the head of Sichuan was unaware of such a large-scale facility, judging by this leader. That place is right in front of Sacheondangmun.”
“I’m not saying that the cult called Blood Religion is that powerful! Enough to avoid our eyes!”
The eyes of the audience softened a little at the dignified Danganeum attitude. Certainly, it wasn’t entirely convincing.
In particular, in the case of the Daemunpa, they nodded their heads more because they received a report on the vampire incident and recognized the danger of blood bridging.
“Of course, the head of the clan wants to believe in the innocence of the party. But, can’t you just skip it? It is enough to clarify everything through investigation.”
“Okay! Borrowing this position, I declare clearly. Inspection? Feel free to do it. Instead, I will not stand still if there are those who slander our party on their own without grounds! I hope you all keep that in mind.”
Dangsaeum exchanged glances with someone nearby and sat down.
“I will make sure that the party’s position is well reflected. I will take the next question.”
Immediately, a person raised his hand. Preamble Jeongcheon nodded, and his middle-aged man stood up and gave him a hug.
“Respected Moorim-dong, everyone. It is called Hwang Bo-myeong of the Hwangbo family. In Gangho, it is called Paam Kwon (破巖拳). There is something that worries me, so I want to ask the lord about something.”
“Tell me.”
“The Mangadan master said that the second disciple of the Demonic Sect attends the academy, is that correct?”
“It’s a little vague whether he was a disciple from the beginning or whether it was recently revealed. It is true that he is a cadet.”
“Huh… How could you allow that? I am truly sorry. It would not be enough even if a soldier devoted to Baekdo was put in its place. The Demonic Cult, and that’s also the second disciple of the cult leader!”
Hwang Bo-myeong had a miserable expression on his face and clenched one of his fists tightly.
“It’s been a long time since the Heavenly Demon Church entered into non-aggression with the Murim Alliance. Also, the military god who founded the academy didn’t want to distinguish between Jeongsama. Pa-Am Kwon is also from the academy, so you must know it well, right?”
“Cancer, I know. So I have nothing more to say. How could I just watch the mongrel of the Demonic Cult become my junior? Isn’t that right, everyone?”
The noise around me grew louder and louder. Hwang Bo-myeong continued his words with a triumphant face.
“I wonder if everyone thinks the same as me. This is an official agenda…”
The moment Jeongcheon opened her eyes and opened her mouth.
“Stop.”
The old man who had been quietly gazing at the conference hall from the farthest back so far stood up. Even though the voice was not very loud, it resonated vividly with everyone inside the conference hall like Hye Kwang Sim.
“Who will be accepted as cadets and who will be sent out. That’s my only right You cannot force me.”
The little giant stood up and smiled softly. There was a heavy silence for a moment at the calm words of the president of the Jungwon Military Academy and the current best man in the world.
The president of the Jungwon Military Academy did not have the right to vote in the Moorim League, but had the right to attend and speak at major meetings of the League.
Of course, Dokgopae also had the position of former leader, so most of them just quietly attended and returned to the academy.
This time was an exception.
“And my decision is that cadet Kim Moo-gong is well qualified to attend the academy. The second disciple of the Heavenly Demon. What does that mean? The theme of the destruction of the hometown and the endless retreat. Are you still obsessed with Jeongsama?”
Kung – Hwang Bo-myeong hurriedly lowered his head at the momentum that Dok-go-pae secretly spewed out. Just like the phrase ‘invincible warlord’, Dokgopae was never gentle in everything.
Invincible God of War. It was a nickname given to him because he had never lost a single battle in thousands of battlefields since he was young. The original nature of Dokgopae was close to that of King Paewang, but far from King Hyeonwang.
“Like Danju, I will make a declaration. As long as I am the president, there will be no distinction between sama and sama in the academy. And nobody! Even if that cadet is from the Heavenly Demonic Church, I will never tolerate touching my cadet. Don’t even think about going behind the scenes. I’m saying this in the name of my invincible predecessor, so don’t take it lightly.”
Unlike before, no one thought to throw up at Dokgopae’s words. Dokgopae cleared his throat once, looking at the inside of the meeting hall, where only silence flowed.
“Hmm, one more thing to say. This year’s martial arts festival is scheduled to expand in scale. If you really want to show off the prestige of the Baekdo faction, don’t force yourself here, but cheer for the later exponents so that you can prove it with martial arts in the martial arts festival. Isn’t that the attitude of a true warrior?”
Everyone’s eyes changed when the topic of Musinje came out. The hum grew louder. The Musinje, held at the academy in commemoration of the martial god’s rise to the top, was one of the most famous festivals in the world.
In particular, in the Bimu Competition, the flower of the Goddess of War, the late Jisoo aim at the radish, and those who show excellent skills receive the title of Yongbong.
In other words, it was also called Yongbong Branch.
“I… President. I don’t understand exactly what you mean by zooming in.”
“This time, only political factions won’t participate in the Goddess of God Festival.”
“You mean…?”
“It hasn’t been discussed yet, but if the world as well as the Heavenly Demon Church want to participate, we won’t rule it out. Do you understand?”
When the story of the Heavenly Demon God came out, the whole place became noisy.
That’s why Dokgopae’s words were unconventional.
