Episode 436
Coincidence that Changes the Situation (4)
Many people were gathered in the room.
Yeonhojeong, commander of Uijeonggun, Mo Yong-woo, commander of Tangmagun, and Mukbi, deputy commander of Myulsagun.
Full Sang and, unexpectedly, Sima Hyeon were also there. Yeon Ho-jeong sang it separately.
The leaders of the Murim Alliance’s strongest military unit, the actual figurehead of the Murim Alliance’s intelligence battalion, and the descendants of Eumshin, a legend of the now-collapsed Central Plains assassin world, gathered together.
This was the reason why there was an unusual atmosphere in the room. Now, they are not gathered as close friends, but as people who hold important responsibilities in a group.
“therefore.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had been reading the letter for a while, opened his mouth.
“Are you saying that a major political dispute has broken out within Botaam?”
“exactly.”
Full-sang said with a frown.
“I couldn’t help but be surprised when I saw that letter from the Lord of the Ink Dragon. “I don’t think he is a great person who would lie about something like this, but as always, I conducted an investigation to determine the truth.”
“What were the results?”
“What Lord Inkryongbu said was right.”
“Are you sure?”
“Do you know why I felt empty while investigating this Botha cancer case?”
Full Sang sighed.
“This is because Botaam’s information management was so lax that there was no need for a deliberate investigation. Well, it has to be that way. Botaam is a sect and temple in Geomhu. “Because they were not as active in powerhouse activities as Shaolin, there would not have been a proper intelligence organization.”
“Right.”
“I don’t know how it changed, but Botaam is no longer the sacred temple of Geomhui that it once was.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Mukbi.
“Manager Mook.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Do you know about Bothaam?”
In fact, both Botaam and Gwanilgok were similar in many ways. However, the difference was that Gwanilgok was closer to a religion, and Botaam was closer to a closed sect that practiced martial arts rather than a temple.
Mukbi shook his head.
“I’ve heard the name a few times, but I don’t know the details.”
After joining the Mortal Army, she studied the various groups of the Jungwon martial arts group. Among them, of course, was Bothaam.
At first, I was curious about the fact that it was a sect made up of women, but I soon lost interest. This is because I did not want to waste time selling a faction that was not a strong player.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked Mo Yong-woo.
“What about you?”
“I only know the outlines. In fact, in the case of Botaam, he is very far away from Kangho’s interest. “All I know is that they select the sword masters from generation to generation, and the strength of the sword swordsmen is so great that it is beyond imagination.”
“Right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
‘After all, everyone doesn’t know as much as I do.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s knowledge of Bota-am was similar to the reason why Yangcheon cared about Bota-am.
‘Maybe he’s in his mid-twenties now? ‘He’s probably a similar age to Mukbi than me.’
Botaam selects those who will be candidates for the post of sword from generation to generation and sends them to Gangho.
And Candidate Geum-hu, who came out as strong, thoroughly eliminates evil and builds up good from his own perspective. Naturally, there have been many encounters with the black sword for generations.
In fact, Heukdo is a lawless world that accounts for more than 80% of the brutal martial arts known to the world.
Murder and looting happen like a meal there. This means that hunting down the powerless and weak is everyday life. Knocking back at a black man was a virtue that went beyond the obvious, and even the absolute powerhouse who ran the organization was called an asshole if he trusted his subordinates.
To put it bluntly, Heukdo Murim is a mess. It is a mess with countless wild cats waiting for an opportunity to bite each other.
Candidates for the post of sword have proven themselves through achievements such as taking care of such dark thugs or dismantling their organizations for generations. This is because the easiest place to find the den of evil in the central plains was Heukdo Murim.
However, when Yeon Ho-jeong advanced to Heukdo and established a reputation for blackness, he established Heukje Castle and controlled the Heukdo Martial Forest.
Geomhu wandered around Heukdo Murim and disappeared somewhere.
‘It was strong.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s pupils dilated.
‘She was strong. So much so that even I at the time had a hard time guaranteeing victory.’
He had met the candidate for Geomhu at the time.
He was a candidate for words, but he was an absolute powerhouse whose martial arts skills had already reached perfection. At the time, Yeon Ho-jeong, who had killed Yang Cheon as the successor to the Four Gods and was beginning to be called the best person in the Black Island, was very surprised to see the female swordsman who was so strong that it was difficult to discuss victory without experiencing much chaos.
Yeon Ho-jeong recalled part of the conversation he had with her at the time.
‘It’s you. A man who conquered the chaotic Black Island and began to rule it with strict discipline and laws.’
‘however?’
‘I hope the path you pursue is filled with light. I hope that with your reforms, the Black Island will not follow in the footsteps of the past.’
‘If you’ve said everything you have to say, get out of here. busy.’
‘I know you. Contrary to your appearance, you are a man with a deep heart. It’s a confidence I gained from watching you for months.’
‘noisy.’
‘I hope that the sincerity of changing the Black Island from a world of beasts to a world that smells of humans will be passed on to future generations. Otherwise, the next generation of swordsmen will seek the black path again.’
‘Are you gone yet?’
‘Keep this in mind. The moment your grand plan falls apart, the sword of the sword will aim for the heart of the dark sword again.’
There were various political reasons and countless incidents and accidents, but one of the reasons why large organizations born in the dark island came to an end without lasting even a generation was the existence of Geomhu.
Previous generations of swordsmen started from the bottom of the Black Path, crushed all the organizations connected by the line, and then leisurely returned to Botaam.
‘It was really the same.’
Yeon Ho-jeong did not like the existence of Bota-am and Geom-hu very much.
They had power. And they used that power entirely for their own value.
Of course, that couldn’t be seen as a bad thing. People’s personalities vary greatly, and individual freedom may be more important than the suffering of others. Yeon Ho-jeong did not deny it.
However, it was difficult to agree with their behavior.

Punish evil and accumulate good? Prove it and establish it as a symbol?
It’s the same thing. Once you have set your hand on punishing evil, you must see the end of it. The reason is that it is good, not evil, that suffers more when handled clumsily.
This was the reason why a clumsy charlatan was considered worse than an indifferent person. The so-called Geomhu candidates only saw the evil in front of them and did not consider at all what kind of oppression the evil scattered behind them would inflict on the common people.
Even there, it’s personal freedom? From Yeonhojeong’s point of view, this was a rash of words. It was not a matter of discussing freedom, but was merely the selfish self-satisfaction of those who did not know responsibility.
So, Yeon Ho-jeong did not like Bota-am.
It is said that they are now caught up in political strife and are in disarray.
‘Something happened.’
Yeon Ho-jeong thought of Geom-hu once again.
A female swordsman with deep eyes who confidently declared that she would aim her sword at evil in front of her during the time of the Emperor of Darkness.
‘The look in his eyes at that time was real. At least he wasn’t a talented person who could have come from a faction that collapsed due to political strife.’
Regardless of how Yeon Ho-jeong viewed them, at least the Geomhu at that time maintained their untainted innocence.
He was a person and had eyes that were difficult to come from a group embroiled in political strife. Although it was a hasty thought, Yeon Ho-jeong sensed that the current situation of Bota-am was completely different from the Bota-am she knew in the past.
“It’s just my opinion.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“There must be a reason why Botaam got to that point.”
Full-sang nodded.
“I think so too. In fact, tradition has the power to evaporate any disturbance without a word. Isn’t there a single greedy person in the hundreds of years of Botaam’s history? Nevertheless, the reason why Botaam was able to enjoy its current reputation is because their history and tradition had enough power to suppress greed and ambition.”
“I agree.”
“In other words, as the Great Leader said, something must have happened to them. Additionally, I thought so too, so I dug deeper.”
“result?”
“It didn’t come out.”
Full Sang sighed.
“I don’t know. “Why did they get to that point?”
“Right.”
If you can’t find out through open research, there’s no need to worry about that anymore.
Then it was time to look into the present.
“Boss Yang said this in a letter. He said that one of the three tribes of Botaam came to visit him. “He said that if I lend him the power of the Mukryongbu, we will be able to maintain a good relationship in the future.”
“exactly.”
“No matter how much he is a politician, he is really rotten.”
Regardless of what kind of person Yang Chen was, he was the head of the Black Island League. This means that he is the chairman of the Heukdo martial arts group that Bota-am has touched for generations.
You went to a person like that and asked him to help you? I could see how damaged Bothaam was now.
“and.”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“Shall we take on a part of Botaam, destroy Botaam, and share their power?”
Full-sang scratched his head. Heoyeon’s dandruff has fallen.
“I really think this is something worthy of the head of the Black Island Alliance. “You don’t miss an opportunity.”
“No. “If he were the leader of the Black Island Alliance, he would have tried to deceive us and swallow up Botaam’s power entirely.”
“I thought that too, but Yang Chen is not an ordinary person either. “You probably thought that clumsy lies wouldn’t work.”
“Things like that happen, too.”
Full-sang’s eyes lit up.
“Buju Mukryong sent this letter to Daesu, not the main body of the Murim Alliance. Since Dae-su is a member of the Murim Alliance, I am sure that this letter is destined for the Murim Alliance, but what does it mean that it was sent to Dae-su first and not to the main group?”
“….”
“I understand. “Why did he send a letter to Dae-su?”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Full Sang.
Full-sang quenched his appetite.
“That guy knows too. “The influence of algebra.”
“It’s influence.”
“I didn’t say anything because I was embarrassed, but it’s not enough to say that what Dae-su has solved so far is an achievement.”
“That’s an overestimation.”
“That’s an accurate assessment. And the Lord of the Inkryongbu would also know that well. Aside from everything else, Dae-su has a history of playing with the Inkryong Buju. “How many people in the world at that time would be able to deceive the mighty of Holy Heaven?”
“….”
“The Lord of the Ink Dragon is keeping an eye on Daesu.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked down at the letter in silence.
Full Sang asked.
“What do you plan to do?”
“What should I do? “I have to inform the Murim Alliance.”
“That’s natural, but the problem lies beyond where we are.”
A subtle tension appeared on Full Sang’s face.
“If you don’t get the answer you want from us, I don’t know what Yang Chen will do.”
Hunan and Guangdong provinces are close by. Furthermore, in the area south of the Yangtze River, the influence of the Black Island Murim was stronger than that of the White Island Murim.
Moreover, it is Yangcheon. If he decides to move, both Yeonhojeong and Uijeonggun will receive a fatal blow.
‘It’s an invitation and a threat, and it’s also a threat and generosity.’
Yeon Ho-jeong narrowed his eyes.
‘The series of processes was so smooth. I’m sure it wasn’t your fault, Yangcheon, right? ‘It’s what brought Bothaam to that point.’
It was then.
“hmm?”
Full-sang’s face, which had been perking up his ears, suddenly distorted. He heard a message from his subordinate.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked.
“What’s going on?”
“…The situation is taking an amazing turn.”
“…?”
Full-sang stood up from his seat.
“One of Bothaam’s inspectors contacted me through the door.”
“….”
“Please think about how to respond until you come back.”
As soon as Full-sang left, Yeon-ho-jeong sighed, feeling down.
“Manager Mook.”
“Yes, Master.”
“I’ll have to call Dingjung over.”
