Episode 486. Calling the Typhoon (4)
“I want to meet the headmaster.”
“Have you made up your mind?”
“Yes.”
“Then follow me.”
Kugoong!
The gates of Daejeon opened.
Seo Liang, who was sitting in the chair of Taesa, stood up.
“Are you here?”
“Yes.”
Zhu Qing’s complexion improved imperceptibly in a few days.
Her bent waist was proudly straightened, and her hair, which was not much left, became voluminous in an instant. Her eyes were shining brilliantly, and even her physique seemed to have improved.
Seo Liang smiled.
“I heard that you have troubled the students of the main school for a while, but it’s worth it. Your complexion has improved beyond recognition.”
Zhu Cheng burst into laughter.
The sound of his laughter echoed through Daejeon.
“The food of the South is palatable. I’m sorry for the troubled masters, but thanks to you, I regained my energy.”
“That way.”
After a while, a bottle and two glasses were placed on the table.
“What is this drink?”
“Geumjoncheong.”
“This is a hard-to-find drink. I would have brought it from far away in midfield.”
“It’s not that difficult.”
Xi Liang poured a drink into Zhu Qing’s glass. Zhou Qing also filled Xi Liang’s cup.
“I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve had a drink. Let’s have a drink.”
“I will.”
The two passed their glasses coolly.
“Wow, that’s good. It is very good to be cheap.”
Seo Liang asked as he set down his glass.
“So, have you made up your mind?”
Joo Cheong laughed.
“Actually, I didn’t have anything to say. Even if I didn’t do it anyway, wouldn’t you guys use me?”
“That’s right.”
“In that case, I don’t think it’s bad to spread the wings of life once again.”
Seo Liang nodded.
“Will you accept our school as the state religion?”
“Why ask again when you haven’t given me any other options? It has no choice but to be.”
“Well, he is too.”
“But there is only one thing I want to ask of you.”
“what?”
A serious light appeared on Joo-cheong’s face.
“Are you satisfied with that?”
“what?”
“I will become the state religion of the empire, unify the world and take control of the Murim.
In other words, it can also be called the Underworld of Magic, but after thinking about the story of General Commander, it doesn’t seem like it will simply end there.”
Xu Liang admired Zhu Qing’s discernment.
Ho Yo-seong was a great communicator, befitting a general. He was good at taking out only what he wanted from the opponent without showing his true intentions, whether the opponent was the emperor or not.
However, Zhu Cheng said that he felt something from Ho Yao-seong’s words. Just by looking at it, you could tell that Zhu Cheng was not an ordinary person.
“Do you have any guesses?”
“You seem to have a personality that likes directness. Am I wrong?”
“I like that.”
The sage’s face became expressionless.
“I have no intention of eating the imperial palace, but I do have the intention of becoming a living god.”
“He is a living god… … .”
“The emperor is called the Son of Heaven. Son of Heaven, so everything under Heaven belongs to the Emperor.
But even the emperor has to bow his head to a higher god.”
Zhu Qing’s face hardened.
“Is that what you meant when you said you didn’t care who became emperor?”
“okay.”
It was a terrible ambition.
Of course, he said that he would become the god of Jungwon, not the god of the Mado Murim. That’s what you think of as a true sorcerer.
Zhou Qing, who was glaring at Xi Liang, sighed.
“He’s a tough man to handle.”
“Even my teacher used to say that sometimes. He’s a tough guy to handle.”
“Master… … Are you referring to the rumored Nine Heavenly Demons?”
“Have you heard?”
“No, I can’t hear it. Beyond hearing about it, I actually saw it.”
Xi Liang’s eyes shone.

“Have you seen Master?”
“Wouldn’t you tell me? When was it… … It must have been over thirty years ago. I was able to meet him when I was trying to expand the power of the imperial palace for a long time.”
“Amazing. I’ve never heard of such a thing.”
“Thinking about it, it seems so. Seeing him in person at the time, he wasn’t a talkative person.
He was just a man full of boundless dignity and absolute confidence. It was a one-time encounter with him, but it left an unforgettable impression until his death.”
“Have you had a conversation?”
“I couldn’t share. But I still remember the words he left.”
“What did you say?”
Zhu Cheng said bitterly.
“He’s a good housekeeper.”
“… … .”
“I just said that and he disappeared all of a sudden.”
Seo Liang smiled.
Do you keep your house well? As the owner of the imperial palace, he is an adequate vessel, but it is said that he is not a talented person capable of promoting the world.
It was truly a master-like word.
“If I have to confess, I was shocked at the time. There are many masters who have learned martial arts in the imperial palace.
But, tricking the eyes of so many masters, coming in and leaving behind just one word? This fisherman is rude, and what a great talent he is.”
“… … .”
“I can’t forget, but I tried hard to forget. In the midfield, there are monsters like that running the rampart. He was the one who made me realize that.”
“Right.”
“A few years after that, the imperial palace stopped expanding its power. If I grew bigger, I felt like I would be checked by the Moorim forces.”
“I think I know.”
Zhu Qing’s eyes shone.
“But now, that devil’s apprentice is stepping on the emperor and saying he will become a living god.”
“Are you bitter?”
“No, you can’t be bitter.”
“Are you still thinking of forming an alliance?”
Zhu Qing was lost in thought for a moment.
Xiliang waited for his agony.
After a while, Zhu Cheng said.
“Hey, do you know that?”
“what?”
“In history, there has never been a case where the imperial palace has lost its power to this extent. As soon as they lost their power, a rebellion broke out, a new country was established, and an emperor with a different surname ruled the world.”
“Well, he must be too.”
“In other words, it is because the forces of Murim occupied the midfield that they were able to maintain at least the bloodline of the emperor.”
“That’s an interesting point of view. It is quite miserable.”
“I will speak with that misery.”
There was sincerity in Jucheong’s voice.
“Leave the imperial palace alone.”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t care if you become a god or not. Actually, I don’t have the power to stop it.”
“so?”
“At least, I want you to acknowledge the rights of the imperial palace. In my next generation, the next emperors will worship the cult leader as a god, but I want the Heavenly Demon Church to not appoint an emperor.”
Seo Liang smiled.
Joo-cheong continued.
“Even if the Murim faction is backed up anyway, it’s difficult for the imperial palace to find its own success like it used to be.
My son seems to have joined hands with those rude people without even knowing it, but the world is not so easy.”
“It sure seems like you have greed that overflows for the one who gives your son.”
“Right. I called him a son to you, but I don’t consider a man who committed immorality to be a son.
And as for me, I don’t have the strength to create another enemy in a situation where there is no wife and palace.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ll take the adopted son. The quantum of ability.”
Xie Liang’s face lit up with interest.
“Adopted… … .”
“I don’t have any blood in my blood, but I’m thinking of finding someone who can pass on my surname.”
“Why did you think that?”
“Once broken, bloodlines sooner or later die. If I find the one who will be my adopted son, I will make sure that he too will not bequeath the next Emperor to his own children.”
“… … Hoo?”
The governor said calmly.
“A person who inherits the great line must have that kind of ability. There is no such thing as noble blood in this world. Blood doesn’t build the dignity of the imperial palace.”
“… … .”
“A person without ability is not qualified to be an emperor. The important thing is the ability to embrace the world and the spirit of sacrifice.
There are many people born and raised in the world, so the possibility is open to everyone.”
Xie Liang asked in a puzzled tone.
“Are you really going to do that?”
“Do you think my ancestors built this empire?”
“… … .”
“My ancestors were nothing more than plundering the original empire. great mind? Patriotism? There was no such grand reason.
They just usurped the throne by force and built a new imperial palace.”
“… … .”
“After I’ve been through this, I can only hope that such a miserable emperor will never be born again.”
Zhou Cheng laughed bitterly.
“Is this an ideal plan? but i think this is right you said Even if that is impossible, you have to pursue it.”
“… … It did.”
“You are truly a man to learn from. How long will I live if I live?
For the rest of my life, I’m just doing my best right here to regain the authority of the imperial palace and keep this country going.”
Xi Liang’s eyes shone.
“Is that why you asked me not to get involved in the transfer of the throne?”
“Yes. Actually, don’t you know? God is not a ruling being. He’s just a dominating being. Isn’t that why you said it doesn’t matter who the emperor becomes?”
That’s right. That’s right, but it’s also wrong. It’s because it’s hard to be seen as a true magician if you approach it that way.
But, think at the same time.
‘It’s your responsibility… … .’
God has no responsibility. just reign
All responsibility lies with the emperor. Actually, if you think like that, it can be a bit embarrassing, but it can be a comfortable path.
‘The hard way and the easy way. The way to exist as a true magician and a god.’
difficult. It’s a hard problem.
Jucheng took a direct hit to that difficult problem.
“Do you want to be an emperor or a god?”
Xu Liang, who was staring blankly at Zhu Qing, replied with a smile.
“I just want to remain as a god and give the world to the demons of my school.”
Joo-cheong laughed blankly.
“It means you want to pick out the good ones and eat them.”
“I tend to be picky eaters.”
Seo Liang rose from his seat.
“I understand what you mean. What do you want, what do you pursue?”
He leaned against the window and crossed his arms.
“However, I wonder if it would be okay to worry about this problem after sweeping away those idiots who are disturbing the midfield.
Even if we wipe them out right away, the world will be in chaos for a while.”
“A plan is necessary to quell the chaos.”
“That plan, Cheonha Il Tongji system was completed.”
Said with a smile.
“Selecting an emperor based on ability, not blood? It’s a bit like a dream, but I think your heartfelt goal is worth cheering for.”
“… … .”
“After we stabilize the world, let’s discuss this matter again. I think this part needs more discussion.”
“You are right.”
“Is this an alliance?”
Zhou Cheng rose from his seat.
“I wish you well in the future.”
“Me too.”
The headquarters of the Madou Murim, the Heavenly Demon Church.
The headquarters of the empire, the imperial palace.
Finally, the heads of the two factions joined hands. It was an alliance of giants for the unification of the world.
“By the way, since we’ve become allies, I’d like to have a big drinking party, but I don’t have time for that.”
“I think so too.”
“There is something I want to ask you.”
Jucheong asked as if he knew.
“Are you talking about the Seal of the Seal?”
Seo Liang’s eyes lit up.
“okay. I was in a hurry to bring you, so I couldn’t afford to bring the seal, but as long as the seal is over there… … .”
“It won’t be there either.”
“ok?”
Zhu Cheng said calmly.
“If that group of traitors had the seal, would they have stayed quiet all this time? Wouldn’t you have gathered more forces and tried to attack this side right away?”
It was a great insight. He lived as a weak emperor all his life, but his eyes reached all over the world.
“then?”
“My son did not change that much in an instant. I was slowly tinged with desire. It was me who felt the change the fastest and most definitely.”
Seo Liang’s eyes lit up.
“Did you steal the seal?”
“I put it in a place only I know.”
“Where is it?”
“That is… … .”
Joo Cheong said tremblingly.
“Can you guys take another boat ride?”
