Chapter 706 – Laughter of Martial Arts
Seong-il erases his playful expression and explains his plan to the two in earnest in a serious tone.
“I have something to ask of you two.”
“…What is it?”
Seong-il, who succeeded in cheating the two giants of the Moorim world by demonstrating various powers obtained from other worlds, speaks of the help he wanted from them in earnest.
“Before that, can you promise me one thing?”
Seong-il asks the two people in front of him to never share the secret conversation they had today, regardless of whether they accept the promise or not.
“Is there a reason you should do that?”
When Koo Jin-in asked questioningly, Seong-il said, of course, Murim-maeng. It explains that there are quite a few people who are unknowingly brainwashed into the Great Law of Blood Marriage, regardless of true love.
“By the way, Hyunmudangju is not a traitor.”
“…Are you saying you’re not a traitor?”
Based on the information obtained through gameplay, Seong-il can create a powerful divine object called blood essence by cutting out the bag from his spirit, and forcibly brainwashing it by feeding it to the victim or injecting it into the blood. Explain that it can be
“…You mean that you can simply brainwash the target through the Great Blood Marriage Act, and also make the target unaware that you have been brainwashed?”
“That’s right. The subject has no idea. However, the subject unconsciously repeats strange behavior. For example, he writes down the secrets of the Murimmaeng in the form of a diary without realizing it. Accidentally ‘lost’ the diary containing the secret and forgets the process. Or throw it away.”
“!!!”
Jin Chun-hui hears from Seong-il about Blood God’s formidable mind-controlling ability, and feels a fear he hasn’t felt in a long time since he became one of the top five masters in Moorim.
“Well… Anyway… Before you listen to this story, please be sure to keep a secret even for this matter. There are too many trifles.”
“…Can’t a true man help the Murim people to the extent that he suffered from the Great Law of Blood Marriage?”
Apart from the strict adherence to secrecy, the fact that many people are infected with the law against blood marriage like an epidemic thanks to the steady work of the blood bridge must have come as a shock to Guo Jin-jin, so he asks Seong-il how to solve the law against blood marriage.
“I can do it if I want to, but it’s taking too much time.”
Seong-il strongly emphasizes that the time he can be active in the secular world is only about a month at most.
‘Strictly speaking… The reason is that I can’t find any information about the trio even in the in-game play…’
He doesn’t have to tell the truth straight away, so Seong-il tries to escape the situation by making an excuse that he has a time limit on him.
“The Great Law of Blood Marriage itself is canceled if you kill only the Blood God and the Blood Religion Master. So even if there are victims, in the end the best way is to confront them head-on and remove the Blood God.”
“I see. But why one month?”
“Fine. Are you going to keep the secret or not?”
Seong-il reprimands Jin-in Koo, who keeps turning around and trying to get information from him, and induces him to spit out answers.
“Whoa… I’ll keep it.”
“Okay. Then I’ll tell you why. In fact, as I just lightly explained, I’m giving up my worldly life and intervening in this situation.”
“…Are you saying that a true man would sacrifice his life?!”
At first glance, it sounded like he was going to burn his own life to work, so not only Guo Jin-jin, but also Jin Chun-hui, were surprised by Seong-il’s words and flinched.
“No? I won’t die. It’s just that my life in ‘Jungwon’ will end in the future. As for the practice itself, I can do it as much as I want in ‘other’ worlds like ‘here’.”
At first glance, Seong-il’s words sound like he intends to live in the desolate inner plane forever.
‘Actually, it means that if I get hold of the Blood God and clear this world, there will be nothing to see here…’
Since he has no obligation to tell the two masters the whole truth straight away, Seong-il uses a clever pun to make himself look like a guru who sacrifices everything.
“Um…”
At Seong-il’s explanation, Jin Chun-hwi and Koo Jin-in turn their heads and look at the desolate inner plane world again. A world of pure white that is truly ‘dry’ itself. Having to live in a place like this for the rest of their lives can be like hell in a way, so the two show a solemn appearance, mistaking Seong-il for sacrificing their own joys and sorrows.
‘He behaves according to my intention.’
Seong-il, who had grasped the feelings of the two masters in real time, pretended to be a solemn guru and waved his hands as if to reassure them.
“Okay! Anyway, if I practice quietly here, I’ll be able to get a chance to become a top performer like Master. Then I’ll be freed from this place.”
“…What if I can’t get to the top of the fable?”
“Then it must be dead. Are you saying something obvious?”
“…”
Jin Chun-hwi remains silent without saying anything, as if something touched Seong-il’s easy-going way of calmly passing through the whole situation.
‘Good. I got a sympathy ticket from the two of them, so I guess I’ll seek help soon…’
Seong-il, who has succeeded in shaking the hearts of the two giants, Moorim Jeong-do, quickly plays the pre-recorded video of the dungeon work in augmented reality.
Tick-tock-tock…!!
However, the appearance of the staged scene is very different from the previous works. Instead of G.E.C.R, alter egos resembling Seong-il appear holding various wands and breaking rocks or setting up magic circles on the spot.
‘And this as a clear view…’
And Seong-il demonstrates the video that only he can see, as if it were reproduced to the outside world through a lighted sky.
“…!!”
And the mouths of the two giants who saw the scene start to open wide in surprise.
“This…?”
“Right now, Bindo is creating a burial mound in Xi’an that looks quite plausible by transforming himself into an alter ego. After you return to reality, secretly spread the fake news that the blood body is sealed in the burial mound I made.”
“…Why do you have to gossip about that?!”
Guo Jin-in, who does not understand what it has to do with making a fake burial mound and subduing the blood god, asks Seong-il why.
“Hmm… You remember that I commented on the Blood Religion Lord as an ‘apostle’ a while ago, right?”
“Ah, yes. I remember.”
Seong-il calmly explains the setting of the game to Jin-in Koo and Chun-hwi Jin. The person who was born 30 years ago when the split soul of the blood god fuses with a fetus is the blood leader, and of course, he was a follower of the blood god, so it explains that he established a blood bridge and caused a blood attack in Jungwon.
“However, since he was born by birth, he underestimated the power of the Jungwon Murim, a gathering of mortals. Thanks to this, the Blood Religion was thoroughly subjugated by the enraged Jung and Demon Alliance.”
Seong-il tells him that the blood leader who was subjugated because of that realized the potential of the Jungwon Murim and worked in secret. For that process, he explains that he secretly infiltrated the Demonic Cult, killed the Magical Cult’s total protection law, and stole his appearance.
“Then, he provoked the Demon Cultist to cause a great battle. On the surface, it seemed like the Demonic Cultist coveted the Seal of the Blood God, but the truth is a bit different. It happened because the Blood Cultist borrowed the power of the Blood God and made him fall into madness.”
Anyway, due to that incident, the Demonic Cult was completely destroyed, and the Blood Religion Master explained to the two that he easily took over the Demonic Cult, where most of the core leaders died.
“That’s how he ate an entire Murim faction that could be useful for a comeback with the fisherman’s gimmick. Murim Jeong-do was already careless that the Demonic Cult, whose core leadership had all died, would not regain power within hundreds of years.”
“…”
Seong-il explains to the two that the blood priest has been doing all sorts of tricks in the dark, taking his past failures as a mirror.
“… He forcibly conceived the young master of the Demonic Cult, who is a member of the Celestial Sound, and then tried to use the fetus to free his blood body from the seal.”
“Was the young master a deaf person?!”
“Yes. Although it is short-lived, the quality of martial arts itself is the strongest.
It is explained that the fetus conceived by the heavenly sound can contain the spirit of the blood god, so the blood god planned to descend into the world by using her body as a sacrifice.
“…Then the first thing to do is to get rid of the young master.”
“No, there’s no need to do that. I also took that child. He’ll be fine with Muhak. When this terrible situation is over, I’ll release it into the world.”
“Yes?! Why?! Isn’t she the blood of the evil Demonic Cult!!”
From Guo Jin-in’s point of view, the Demonic Cult was always a dangerous cult that had to be subdued, so he responded with a shocked tone when he heard Seong-il’s words.
“Is that so? I don’t know?”
Seong-il replies as if thoroughly ridiculing Koo Jin-in’s words. He replies that Jung, Sa, and Ma are not important to him, the only important thing is to be true to an existence that shouldn’t exist in the world like a blood god.
“To you, they are Jeongpani, Sappani, and Demonic Cult. From my point of view, they are just ordinary grassroots people.”
Seong-il strongly appeals that he does not want to lay his hands on people of the world as much as possible.
“Let the people of the world take care of themselves. Do you understand? I will only be true to my blood. Don’t postpone your trivial favors to me!!”
“Um…”
It is well known through all sorts of tales that Shinseon does not want to participate in worldly affairs, so the two cannot easily deny the reaction that is close to a match on the holy day.
‘Eunwol is like one of my confidantes, so if I say she’s crazy, am I going to hand her over to you guys?’
Although he had completely different thoughts inside, Seong-il explained what the ‘worldly’ people had to do with a calm expression, unlike his black inner thoughts.
“The important thing is this. Even if I do believe in Blood God… Blood Religion Master. No, as long as the Apostle of Blood God is alive, he can be resurrected at any time.”
“Yeah?!”
Seong-il also explains that since the blood god split the spirit to escape from the seal, it is the blood god, so in the worst case, there is a way to resurrect through him.
“Even in this case, there is an advantage that if you can save a large amount of vengeful spirits and blood, you can resurrect more easily.”
“…Then why didn’t he resurrect through an apostle?”
Even though there is an easier way, Jin-in Koo does not understand the behavior of the blood god who dares to resurrect through the main body, so he asks Seong-il for the reason.
“It’s simple. Anyway, half of an apostle’s soul belongs to a human. Therefore, if they are resurrected through an apostle, in that case, half of them will not be blood bodies. Could there be a problem with their purity?”
Seong-il puts up a strategy book on the augmented reality and explains the contents to the two in a calm tone.
“Not only that, but there are also side effects of not being immortal as before because you are resurrected based on the body of a mortal. Well, even if you die, you can find a new victim’s body and resurrect… It will also gain immortality, just like the body.”
“Hmm…”
“However, since it is a burden even from the point of view of the Blood God that such and such restrictions arise, he wants to be resurrected as possible and block those variables.”
Realizing the seriousness of the situation after hearing Sung-il’s lengthy explanation, Jin-in Koo and Chun-hwi Jin contemplate something in silence with firm expressions.
‘Good good. It’s acting perfectly the way I intended. Shall we drive a wedge now?’
“Exactly!! That’s why I’m asking you guys to spread rumors of a fake swarm.”
Seong-Il secretly spreads rumors and induces the Blood Religion Master to become a fake Bunbong, and then says that he wants the Moorim Meng to remove him with all their might.
“In the meantime, I will directly carry out the Blood God without the interference of the blood cult. If we can do that, we will be able to completely eliminate the aftermath by removing the blood cult and the blood cult.”
“…But, will the blood priest be deceived by the fake division?”
As Seong-il said, Jin Cheon-hwi asks Seong-il if the blood cult leader is an alter ego of the blood god, then he will be able to fully relate to the main body.
“Yes. It’s possible. Because the blood priest can only know where the blood god is ‘approximately’.”
Due to the relationship between the ancestral investigator and the divine monk Mu-yang, who put all their heart and soul into sealing the blood body in a secret place, even though the blood lord is an alter ego of the blood god, he can only roughly sense the location of the main body. He tells us that he does not know the exact location.
“And the crucial thing is that the true seal of the blood god is only about 300 li away from the fake burial mound!
