“To add one more thing, I was held hostage by the King of Myeongdo here.”
‘!?’
At that moment, King Son Yun’s expression hardened.
Are you going to reveal with your own mouth everything that could be a fatal weakness and gossip?
What on earth are you thinking?
Even though it is outside the castle, this is also the territory of the Heaven and Earth Council and everyone is a member of the Heaven and Earth Council.
It was a truly foolish choice to reveal this inside the Cheonjihoe, which had been fighting for supremacy over the martial arts faction for a long time and was a close friend, or rather, Cheolcheon’s enemy.
-Roaring!
‘Jeong Pa-in?’
‘Orthodox faction?’
There was a lot of commotion here and there, and the atmosphere quickly heated up.
It was the same for fellow cadets.
Mujangyak and Moharang of Mohwabang, who were forced to swear loyalty to Mokgyeongun, also glared at him with bewildered expressions, as if they couldn’t help but be shocked.
At least they thought that Mok Gyeong-un, even though he was unknown, was from the small and medium-sized broadcasting faction under Cheonjihoe.
But what about political factions?
‘Then I swore allegiance to Jeong Pa-in?’
‘How could this happen…’
The two people’s faces became stained with humiliation in an instant.
‘Oh hoho. He was truly a goal-scoring kid.’
Lord Amjong, who was one of the few people who knew his identity, clicked his tongue inwardly as he looked at Mok Gyeong-un.
Now, Mok Gyeong-un’s true identity was revealed in the middle of enemy territory.
Even if it means being a hostage.
‘For the warriors of the Cheonjihoe, political faction members are enemies that must be rejected.’
This was true for everyone, regardless of age or gender.
In particular, in the case of young later exponents, the hostility was inherited even more strongly because they had received education from their parents or teachers since childhood.
It wouldn’t be strange if four months happened at any moment.
-bang!
“Yeonmok Sword Chief? “Did you say you were the head of Yeonmok Sword of the political faction?”
Sure enough, someone got up from their seat.
He was the great head of Yeomma Dan.
Having lost his father in the fight against the Hwasan faction, he had a great hatred for the political faction.
However, when Mok Gyeong-un’s identity was revealed to be none other than Jeong Pa-in, he reacted violently.
“How could a mere political sect’s slut get into Sihyeolgok, which can be said to be the entrance to the Daecheon Branch! “Kneel!”
-Munch!
The health worker broke the armrest of the chair in one fell swoop.
Then, he used his energy on the broken piece of the armrest, which had a sharp end, and flew it toward Mok Gyeong-un’s thigh.
It was amazing speed.
However, Mok Gyeong-un calmly walked backwards and avoided it.
-Pakak!
A piece of the armrest broke halfway through the stone floor of the square right in front of Mogyeongun.
It seemed like the intention was to pierce Mok Gyeong-un’s leg at this level.
“damage? good night. “If you do this, the Great Master of Enma will personally kneel down for you!”
Bohyeokso, the great leader of Yeommadan, was about to step forward.
At that moment, someone blocked his path.
“Great Lord Enma. “Please stop.”
He was none other than Sihyeolgokju Lee Ji-yeom.
When Lee Ji-yeom blocked the way, Bo Hyeok-so raised his voice with a heated face.
“Master Gok. What on earth is this? How can something like a political faction be here? “You probably didn’t know, right?”
Lee Ji-yeom couldn’t help but feel truly embarrassed by this question.
Since he was possessed by the body of a member of a prestigious political sect, I thought that even he would not reveal the identity of his body without permission.
But I didn’t know they would reveal this so soon.
‘······I’m embarrassed.’
The problem is not only that this was made public, but Hoeju also ordered the identity of the two pastoral brothers who were held hostage to be kept secret.
Since it was a title given to him by the head of the society, it had to be kept.
If you break this in the middle of all the attention, the owner will most likely use this as an excuse to put pressure on you.
‘Should I keep quiet…’
But for the sake of my lord, I must reveal this.
That was the subordinate’s duty.
In response, Lee Ji-yeom tried to reveal that this was Hoeju’s order and that there was an order to keep it secret.
“this is···.”
It was before I even said that.
“It was an order from above that ordered the hostages of Yeonmok Sword to be placed at the gate of Sihyeolgok. So don’t raise any further objections. “The Lord of Enma.”
“Adult King of Myeongdo?”
The person who came forward before Lee Ji-yeom spoke was none other than Myeongdo King Son Yun.
Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes caught a glimpse of Son Yun coming out.
I thought he would show anger because he revealed the weakness that was trying to hold him back, but surprisingly, he was trying to take care of it.
“What kind of order comes from above?”

“I recommend not saying any more than that.”
“······.”
In response to Son Yun’s warning, Yeomma Daeju Bohyukso remained silent.
If it was an order from the top executive, the Five Kings, he had crossed the line where he could come forward and say something.
“All right.”
Son Yoon stepped back and sat down with his answer.
Seeing this, Sihyeolgokju Lee Ji-yeom breathed a sigh of relief and sent a look of gratitude to Myeongdo King Son Yun.
Thanks to him being the first to step forward as an order from his superiors, he was able to escape a difficult situation.
However, despite the master’s unexpected behavior, seeing him take action to take care of things like that made him seem like he really wanted to be his disciple.
Being held hostage by a political faction as a disciple could cause dissatisfaction, but it was amazing to see that he was willing to take that risk.
‘but.’
If he didn’t know that there was a master in that body, he would have been a warrior whom even he would have coveted.
But that was right then.
“I find it hard to understand.”
The owner of the uncomfortable voice was none other than Choeumgokju Hang Yeo-ryang.
Just a moment ago, she was anxious to have Mok Gyeong-un, but now she was glaring at him with eyes full of hostility.
Son Yun said to her.
“What is so difficult to understand?”
“Even if we can’t help it because it’s an order from above, if we hadn’t known this fact, it means that one of us would have been taken hostage by the political faction as a disciple.”
At her words, the two great leaders nodded as if they were thinking the same thing.
Even if it is a command that comes from above, it is a hostage to political factions.
If I had accepted someone from a hateful political sect as my disciple without knowing anything, wouldn’t I have suffered the full repercussions later?
“······There is some truth to what ultrasonography says. “Brother Son and Sihyeolgokju know this, but how can they not even tell you?”
Won Byeong-hak, the king of power, also complained.
Judging by the change in his tone, he also seemed to have become reluctant after learning of Mok Gyeong-un’s origins.
In a way, this was a natural reaction.
At that time, Hang Yeo-ryang, the master of Choeum-gok, raised the corner of his mouth and said.
“iced coffee. “Now I understand.”
“Do you understand now?”
“yes. If the higher-ups told you to send a hostage of a political faction to Sihyeolgok, isn’t the original purpose for something else? “Everyone knows what kind of place Sihyeolgok is.”
“······.”
Others looked at her in sympathy.
Once you entered Sihyeolgok, it was difficult to get out alive.
If a hostage of a political faction was sent to such a place, it was not to give them a chance, but rather to tell them not to come out alive.
“Maybe the higher-ups intended it that way, but it wasn’t unexpected?”
“Don’t cross the line. Choeumgokju.”
Even though it was said to be an order from her superiors, King Son Yoon warned her in a sharp voice as she continued to complain.
Then, Hang Yeoliang chuckled, put his hands together and bowed slightly,
“yes yes. How can a small person rebel against his superiors? However, I have no desire to accept as a disciple or subordinate Jeong Pa-in, who killed my sister and is the eternal enemy of this council. hani···.”
-Grrrrrrrrr!
Choyingokju Hang Yeoliang turned his chair back and sat down.
The figure seemed to be demonstrating its own dissatisfaction.
But this wasn’t the end.
-Grrrrrrrrr!
As if they were sympathizing with her, the Yeomma Dan’s Daeju Bohyeokso and the Red Blood Dane’s Dae Soman also turned their chairs.
But it wasn’t just them.
-Grrrrrrr!
‘······The King of Strength.’
King Won Byeong-hak also turned his chair back.
Their appearance showed that they had a firm will to absolutely reject anyone from a political faction, even if it was an order from their superiors.
Considering their future position within the association, their actions were understandable.
“Cluck cluck.”
Mo Yu-cheon is coughing as softly as possible.
Perhaps by luck, he woke up a little while ago and his thoughts became complicated due to the heavy atmosphere.
‘It’s the same with these people.’
It wasn’t just people from political factions who were like this.
The warriors of Sapana Cheonjihoe also hated the political faction.
Actually, I didn’t know that this was natural.
Haven’t they been fighting and killing each other, rejecting each other for a long time?
‘···same.’
Maybe that’s why my heart feels heavy, but at the same time, I understand…
‘no. ‘I understand them?’
Why did you think like this?
Mo Yu-cheon denied thinking this to himself.
Then he looked at Mo Qingyun.
That guy was unexpected.
I never thought he would reveal his identity so proudly.
‘Still, it’s fundamentally a political faction.’
I really don’t know if I know it or not.
How many times have I been disappointed by that guy?
I thought he was a devil suited to this place, not a political faction.
However, the story would be different if he were to defend his honor as a political person and as the commander of Yeonmok Sword to the end.
‘If you do that, I too will risk my life to help…’
It was right then.
Mo Kyung-un shouted in a loud voice that everyone could hear.
“I, Mok Gyeong-un, was born as a member of the political faction, but as I grew up, I despised their hypocrisy and rottenness, judging everything in black and white, as if everything was evil to some extent.”
‘!?’
For a moment, Mo Yu-cheon was dumbfounded.
What did this kid say just now?
Just a moment ago, when I woke up, I wondered if I had misunderstood what Mok Kyung-un said about this guy.
But now they are criticizing political factions.
-Roaring!
Everyone’s attention turned to Mok Gyeong-un again.
As if not paying attention to their gaze, Mok Gyeong-un continued his shouting.
“Because of that, I have admired the heroes of the Cheonjihoe since I was young. “The reason I revealed my identity to the heroes of the Cheonjihoe is to break up with my past self.”
‘This guy can’t believe it?’
Son Yun, the King of Myeongdo, frowned at his words.
I think I know what this clever guy is trying to do.
And just as he had guessed, Mok Gyeong-un bowed his head and shouted to everyone while bowing.
“I promise to the gods of heaven and earth. I, Mok Gyeong-un, will sever ties with my family, the Yeonmok Swordmaster, and further with the political faction. And I will become a member of the Heaven and Earth Association and fight against those abominations!”
A voice echoing through the square.
As a result, the square became agitated again.
Even when their identity was revealed, they were indignant at the fact that Jeong Pa-in was in Sihyeolgok, but who would have guessed that he would declare his conversion so quickly?
The head of the female clan covered his mouth and laughed softly.
‘I was wondering what they would do by revealing their weaknesses through their mouths, but they changed their minds.’
This wasn’t what he expected either.
He is the son of the Yeonmokgeomjang, who can be said to be a prestigious shaman of the political faction, and is also an outstanding martial artist.
Usually, guys like that have strong beliefs and often never give up, but this guy was a completely different type of person.
‘He’s such a fun kid.’
Amjongju’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Mo Gyeong-un.
It didn’t feel like I was just turning to escape this moment and save my life.
So what on earth is he thinking?
‘There must be something to this kid.’
I wondered what it was.
At that time, Mok Kyung-un spoke in a voice that only executives could hear.
“Now there won’t be a problem with your origin, right?”
King Myeongdo Son Yun, who was staring at him with an expression of astonishment at these words, immediately burst into laughter.
“Hahahahahahahahaha.”
This is my first time seeing a guy like this in my life.
After receiving him as a disciple, he tried to train him well, abandon his political faction, and turn him into a talented member of the Cheonjihoe.
But I joined with my own feet, no, with my own mouth.
Even at the Yeonmok Swordsman, they thought he was bold, but he was really a guy who had no idea where he would go.
Son Yun looked at the executives behind him and said.
“I guess it’s hard to argue with people based on their origins anymore.”
“······.”
The executives who were turning their chairs in response to his words could not respond.
They have already shown their will to ostracize people based on their origins, but how much worse it would be if they changed their attitude because of their declaration of conversion.
Seeing them, Son Yun thought that it was actually good.
‘You will eventually come to my side.’
He showed himself supporting Mok Gyeong-un until the end.
If my guy had any sense of grace and sense of their hostility, he would have realized that there was only one option.
Son Yun stretched out his hand towards Mo Gyeong-un and opened his mouth.
at that time,
“Oh ho ho. Now, is it just me who has to bid?”
‘!?’
King Son Yun frowned and turned his head at the unique tickling voice.
He was the only one who didn’t turn his chair around.
He was the leader of cancer.
‘Ahhh.’
That’s right, he was still there.
But there was nothing to worry about.
The only person who could be kept in check was Won Byeong-hak, the King of Violent Power, and he kicked the luck that came with his own feet.
Then, the head of the clan said to Mok Gyeong-un.
“Well, you won’t be attracted to me, who has learned the Tao, even if I teach you the Tao method… However, talking about the advantages of the position would be a new effort compared to the King of Myeongdo, so I guess this is all that you can be tempted to do.”
‘this?’
What are you trying to do to seduce Mok Gyeong-un?
I was puzzled, but the head of Amjong smiled and said.
“It looks like you have sharpened your sword, but you don’t have a good sword. “Isn’t that right?”
“······Yes, but.”
There was no particular desire for a famous sword.
I didn’t even know the famous sword well.
“Good. “If you are a swordsman, you must have a sword that matches your reputation.”
Sun Yun’s eyes narrowed.
Why do you say such things because you have such a great sword?
However, the next words that came out of Amjongju’s mouth suddenly stirred up the surroundings.
“If you agree to join me, I will give you the Akjeukgeom, one of the rare magic swords.”
‘!!!!!!!!!!’
-Roaring!
