< Episode 112: Situation (2) >
Chairman of the main body of the Justice League.
There, the leaders of the nine factions and the seven major families, who could be said to be the main axis of the Justice League, were gathered there.
The Murim people called them the “Seventeen Heroes.”
Normally, 20 people, including the leader, vice-lord, and commander-in-chief, would have been expected to attend, but this meeting was attended by only a total of 14 leaders.
The lord, the vice-lord, and the three soldiers were away as they were greeting an envoy from the imperial palace. The head of the Shaolin Temple, who has never been involved in worldly affairs, the head of the Sichuan Dang family, a member of the seven great families, and the Namgung family. In this case, after the death of the head of the family, Namgung Jin, at Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge, a new head of the family had not yet been selected, so he was left out.
In fact, the reason why the Ungju Conference was held was because of several recent events.
In the past, after the Great War, Murim was very quiet for a while.
However, starting with the Shaolin Temple incident, the martial arts world was in turmoil due to one person, so it was no longer possible to just watch it happen.
“Huh. Jeong Jang Moon-in. “Is that true?”
“Amitabha Buddha. It’s true. “Mr. Jeong Myeong, who was dispatched to Yeonggeom Lodge as an investigator, personally confirmed this.”
The expressions on the faces of the kings became serious as they heard the long story of Jeong Han Sang-tae from the Hangsan Sect.
Not surprisingly, they had gathered because the actions of the Heavenly Demon, called the newly appeared Seventh Heaven, were not close to those of King Jeongjong.
However, I couldn’t help but be shocked when I heard that Yeonggeomsanjang, which can be said to be the main axis of Jungdo, and Gucheonmu Jangju, a member of the Seven Heavens, had sworn loyalty to him.
“How could this happen…”
This was not something that could be taken lightly.
The martial artists who could be said to be the pinnacle of the current martial arts world were Chilcheon.
The fact that one of the Seven Heavenly Nations gave in to another Seven Heavenly Kingdom and swore allegiance meant that the three great powers that had been in balance until now were cracking.
furthermore,
“I don’t know what’s going on. “This includes the unknown thief who killed the head of the Namgung family, as well as the strange force that annihilated the disciples of the Cheongseong Sect.”
A situation occurred in which Namgung Jin, the head of the Namgung family, a member of the Palseong family, and a member of the Namgung family lost their lives to a mysterious thief.
Of course, I heard that he was defeated by the newly appeared One of the Seven Heavenly Demons, the Heavenly Demon, but the appearance of such an unknown expert was not very good news in the current situation.
“Look at this.”
Jinsokja, a long-time member of the Cheongseong faction, placed a rubbing on the round table.
There was a mark drawn on it with a line running vertically through the middle of the two teeth.
“Is this the mark?”
Jinsokja nodded to the question of Gu Cheolja, the long-time member of the Volcanic Sect.
“exactly. This is the scar engraved on the disciples in the text. “I don’t know what kind of force the people who left this mark are, but they are not ordinary people.”
“What if I say they are not ordinary people?”
“If my judgment is correct, their bodies were all stabbed with a single sword, but this is not just a single sword.”
“If it’s not just a sword, what is it?”
“It appears to be a swordsmanship technique.”
“what? Igigeeo swordsmanship?”
Speaking of swordsmanship, it was an art that could only be achieved by super experts who had at least overcome the wall and reached the pinnacle of martial arts.
To that extent, it could only be said that a warrior equivalent to at least the Eight Stars had annihilated them.
How many incidents have occurred in this short period of time?
At that time, an old beggar holding a baton with a faint rust color opened his mouth.
“It seems the peace lasted too long.”
He was Hong Won-seok, the ark of openness of his time.
He clicked his tongue and spoke casually. Gu Cheol-ja, a long-time member of the Hwasan faction, spoke as if reprimanding him.
“Red Ark. How can you say that? “Do you mean that someone did something like this to destroy this peace?”
“Since we continued our friendly relationship with the government, there have been small conflicts, but there have been no major incidents like this. Are you seeing this as a simple matter?”
“······.”
At the words of Hong Won-seok, the open ark, Gu Cheol-ja, a member of the Hwasan faction, closed his mouth.
He too had no choice but to agree with this.
If one incident occurred in succession, I could only predict that there would be some kind of conspiracy or scheme.
Then someone opened their mouth.
“But hasn’t one group been quite quiet lately?”
The person who opened his mouth was Peng Il-hyeon, the head of the Hebei Peng family.
The Hebei Paeng family, which was close to Fengmun, was placed on probation due to its power being greatly affected and its position diminished due to the Western Empress Dowager Incident that occurred in the imperial palace.
“Amitabha Buddha. Paeng, the head of the family. Are you really talking about them?”
Hearing the words of Jeong Han’s situation, everyone naturally thought of one force.
A force that has been particularly quiet recently.
Unlike the Salyeon Alliance (邪連盟), which continued to clash so frequently, it was the Cheonjihoe (天地會), whose leader, Hoeju, was known to be ill.
“exactly. “They are the ones who have not been seen until now, but they are in the imperial palace plotting things with the queen consort at their head.”
“Hmm.”
I nodded as if there was some truth to what he said.
It was Cheonjihoe that was moving quietly as if it was conserving its strength after the civil war.
It could not be ruled out that they had nothing to do with these events.
As if everything was going well, Paeng Il-hyeon, the head of the Paeng family, tried to push it forward.
“If these events are all related to the Heaven and Earth Association, it will be even worse if we just sit back and watch.”
however,
“Isn’t it hard to say that’s true?”
“Hwangbo, the head of the family?”
The person who intervened was Hwang Bo-seong, the head of the Hwangbo family, one of the seven major families.
The Hwangbo family had a particularly bad relationship with the Hebei Paeng family.
Therefore, when he came forward, Paeng Il-hyeon had no choice but to show his discomfort.
“What is so hard to see?”

“Of course, it would be difficult to conclude that the Cheonjihoe is not behind it, but if you try to escalate the situation with personal grudges, that will also become a problem.”
“what!”
-bang!
Paeng Ilhyeon hit the round table hard.
However, despite his anger, most of the kings did not show much reaction.
In fact, some of them even looked like they were laughing.
‘Tsk.’
At this, Paeng Ilhyeon’s impression became distorted.
Not only did he lose half of the Paeng family’s forces due to the incident in which the head of the clan, Paeng Seok-im, attempted to rape Queen Dowager Hwang, but he was also placed on probation to the point where he was close to being punished.
Therefore, his influence was not as big as it used to be.
Paeng Il-hyeon, the head of the family, who thought that he had revealed his own shame, suppressed his anger and said to Hwang Bo-seong, the head of the Hwangbo family.
“······I’m not doing this because of personal grudges. “Hwangbo, the head of the family, aren’t you the one denying what you said before your emotions?”
“I don’t think that’s necessarily true. “The place responsible for sending ganja to Cheonjihoe is not Amcheon, which is managed by the head of the family, Hwangbo.”
“Red Ark?”
Dark spring.
It was an organization known only to a very small number of people within the Justice League.
These are ganjas who were trained in secret, and because they are not officially recognized even by political factions that advocate justice and cooperation, they are not usually talked about.
However, since it was now a convention where only the few kings gathered, the open ark spoke about this openly.
“The fact that the head of the Hwangbo family said that doesn’t mean he has some information about the Cheonjihoe?”
“Some information has come in that I’m not sure is disinformation.”
“Uncertain information? “What do you mean?”
At this question from Hong Ark, the eyes of Hwang Bo-seong, the head of the Hwang Bo-segae family, narrowed.
Not long ago, he received information from an unknown source.
As far as he knows, most of the Dark Heaven agents currently deployed to the Cheonjihoe’s inner city have lost their lives.
However, information came in under a secret code through a secret contact network outside the castle.
However, the problem was that the person who sent this cancer relief contacted Sihyeolgok through the hand of Agent Amcheon, who lost his life.
‘He said he was a hostage captured at Yeonmok Sword.’
Half a year ago, Yeonmok Geomjang, a renowned martial artist, suddenly made a proclamation.
The cause was unknown, but the person who sent the information using a password through this secret communication network revealed himself to be the hostage of the Yeonmok Geomjang.
As this is still being confirmed, the information has not been announced at an official event.
“It was information that there would soon be a major internal conflict in the Cheonjihoe.”
“Big infighting?”
“Could it be that Cheonjihoeju’s illness has worsened?”
“If the unclear information is clear, then yes. In that case, it can be seen that those who are facing internal strife are involved…”
-thud!
It was then.
Everyone’s eyes turned to someone sitting on the right side of the round table.
I saw someone there, clutching his left eye, sweating and frowning.
He was Danmok Inho, the head of the Danmok family, one of the seven major families.
“The head of the Danmok family? Are you okay?”
“My complexion is not good. “The head of the Danmok family.”
In response to their concerns, Danmok In-ho, the head of the Danmok family, immediately waved his hand, then closed one eye as if uncomfortable and spoke.
“iced coffee. Recently, I injured my eye during training. “Please understand.”
“Huh. “If you’re tired, why don’t you take a break…”
“It’s no big deal. “I also brought some interesting information, so how about we discuss it?”
“What do you mean, interesting information?”
As everyone focused on him, Danmok In-ho, the head of the Danmok family, raised the corners of his mouth and spoke meaningfully.
“The information that the Seventh Heaven, which can be said to be the core of this agenda, started a civil war in the Heaven and Earth Council.”
‘!?’
* * *
Same time.
A VIP pavilion to receive envoys from the imperial palace.
Something completely unexpected was happening there.
A high-ranking official who had come as a messenger was lying on the floor with his head cut off, and two masters were clashing their swords fiercely.
A middle-aged man who was wielding a sword with his bare hands widened the distance and pointed his left sword finger at his opponent.
Then, a sword with an unusual appearance that had fallen on the floor spontaneously rose up and stretched out, creating a sharp sword.
-Shoot!
The opponent caught the hilt of the sword flying like this with a clever trick.
Even though blue flames fly out due to the strong energy, the sword does not fall.
-Pachichichi!
The middle-aged man who saw this had a strange look in his eyes and could not help but be surprised.
‘You’re saying you’re going to grab Geomgang with a clever trick?’
This could be said to be an incredible skill that could not be easily performed even by someone who had overcome the wall.
The identity of the middle-aged man was Jeong Hyeon-moon, the leader of the Justice Alliance.
In front of Jeong Hyeon-moon, the man who held the sword with his swordsmanship laughed and said.
“Is this the famous Ilhwi (一輝)?”
It was a treasured sword made by Gu Cheon-mu, head of Yeonggeom Lodge.
Jeong Hyeon-moon, the leader of the Justice League, who was looking at the man who was shaking his head, opened his mouth in a voice full of doubt.
“······You are not Sowihyeon.”
“What are you talking about? “If I’m not Sowi-hyeon, then who is Soo-wi-hyeon?”
The identity of the man who mocked Jeong Hyeon-moon as if teasing him was Gwae-hyeon, the vice-leader of the Jeongjeong-maeng, Manji-geom (滿志逆劍).
Looking at him like this, leader Jeong Hyeon-moon internally denied it.
It wasn’t either.
There was no way that Suyanghyeon, who had been with him for a long time, or rather his younger brother, who was his sworn brother, would suddenly and arbitrarily kill an envoy from the imperial palace.
And no matter how much he was a person of the Eight Saints, his inaction rose too rapidly.
Lord Jeong Hyeon-mun glanced at the Zhuge soldier lying behind him with his right leg cut off, and raised his spirit even more.
If they were not quickly suppressed, the lives of all soldiers might be in danger.
* * *
Now that the war was over, members of the community were clearing up the bodies and prisoners that overflowed in the square, and the wounded were quickly moved to the doctor’s office.
All the executives, except those who were injured in the battle on the first floor of the main building, where the signboard of Cheonjihoe was broken, were gathered.
The leader, Mok Gyeong-un, was sitting on the throne of Daejeon, and right in front of him, on the upper left, were Gu Cheon-mu, the head of Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge, as well as his confidants brought in from outside, including the masked Mara-hyeon, Bokmawonja Jae-jeong, and Nyeop-chun and Mong Mu-yak. .
And on the right side, King Pabu Hotaegang, King Seomdog Baek Saha, Amjongju Hwanyaseon, and Sihyeolgokju Lee Ji-yeom were located.
In the middle of these executives and in front of Mok Gyeong-un’s gaze, there was a grizzled, alluring and beautiful woman standing tall.
She was none other than First World Chunqiu, who could be said to be the top executive of the secret society.
Despite surrendering and becoming a prisoner, Chunchu was looking at Mo Qingyun with a leisurely smile.
It was none other than her who opened her mouth first.
“I thought you were in a hurry, but I guess you’re not?”
She had some idea of the true purpose Mokgan was aiming for in this Cheonjihoe war.
So I thought the man in front of me must be quite nervous.
So I tried to use this as an excuse to lead the negotiation, but what was that relaxed appearance that I didn’t know why?
Of course, the reason was simple.
It was because of the voice that was ringing loudly in Mok Gyeong-un’s head.
-master······. This is Gochan. master? master? Can you really not hear me? I am possessed by Wei So-yeon and So-jeo’s body, but I cannot dare to escape. master? No, f*ck it, it’s only when there’s an amulet on the coffin, but now, if you can’t hear even though the coffin lid is open, are your ears rotten? what?
