Episode 320
The one who lights the sacred fire (2)
Dong-gak’s eyes became bright.
“You’re coming.”
Deukdeuk!
The bird that landed on the window screeched as it looked at Donggak.
An old man carefully took the bird in his hands and pulled out the pipe tied to its ankle.
Dong-gak, who was smoking a heavy cigarette, frowned.
“If you went into Sejak, that damn b*tch, you would quickly hand over even the slightest report.”
You will need to send the information again within the next forty-five days. In the unlikely event that the principle was not followed, the plan was to report it to superiors and have them disciplined.
The old man opened his mouth.
“This is a letter from Chilho of the small pulpit.”
“hmm.”
Currently, there were a total of four contacts residing outside the Murim League.
Each of them works in an iron room, stables, clothing, and food material warehouse, and all of them have top-notch skills.
Among them, the chairperson was Chilho, who had hidden himself in Sogangdan, a food material warehouse. It seemed like the chairperson had contacted me directly to say it was the first report.
Dong-gak said, dusting off the gombangdae.
“What kind of information is this?”
“This is detailed information about the commander of the Murim Alliance’s surviving military unit, the Mortal Army.”
“Is that all?”
“That’s right.”
Dong-gak’s face was noticeably distorted.
“Even though it’s the first report, you’re saying that they only sent information about the leader of the soldiers’ unit and not one of the soldiers?”
It is not unknown that the military commanders of the Myulsa Army and the Tangma Army are called the best late-period leaders in the Central Plains.
But even so, it was only a late index. It is a force that will not work against a true expert.
And as young as they were, they weren’t ones worth worrying about right away.
How could you choose to send only one person like that instead of both? I was dumbfounded by Ki Woo-hee’s handling of the matter.
The old man handed Dong-gak a letter.
“I don’t think it’s information that can be simply ignored.”
“what?”
“That’s quite a lot of information about one person. The content is more serious than I thought. “I think it would be a good idea to read it yourself.”
“hmm?”
Dong-gak looked at the old man with puzzled eyes.
The old man’s face was serious. Despite his appearance as an ordinary slash-and-burn farmer, the old man had an outstanding brain. It wasn’t for nothing that I brought along an old man who hadn’t even learned a single martial arts skill.
Dong-gak received the letter and read it in silence.
After a moment his eyes widened.
“what? “This is the core of the Murim Alliance political struggle?”
The old man’s eyes lit up.
“If you look at the contents of the letter, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the most important figure in the numerous political conflicts that have taken place within the Murim Alliance.”
Dong-gak was dumbfounded.
“Does this make sense? What is the core of the Murim Alliance political struggle? Only in his early twenties?”
“….”
“Isn’t this a smoke screen?”
The old man’s thoughts were similar to those of Donggak.
However, it was impossible to clearly say yes or no about things that one was not sure about.
“Whether it’s a smokescreen or something, the saint probably didn’t send this letter for nothing. “This is too surprising information to just ignore.”
“Hmm.”
“I think the first step is to conduct a detailed investigation into the person named Yeon Ho-jeong.”
Dong-gak frowned.
“I know something about him. Didn’t they say he was a young expert who suddenly rose to prominence after living as an idiot for ten years? “It is said that he took the lead in destroying the Nine Jus Myeongga and even made a remarkable contribution in exterminating the corridors connected to the evil spirit.”
Contrary to his seemingly hasty words and actions, Dong-gak was as intelligent as anyone else. He had a personality like that, but when he got serious, he showed above-average brain power.
This means that he has memorized all major events and important information in the central region. And in recent years, the person who caused the most noise in the Jungwon martial arts was Yeonhojeong, known as the leader of Byeoksan.
“No matter what, it is the core of political strife…”
Dong-gak, who was muttering to himself, asked the old man.
“If we use our power without being revealed, how much information power can we mobilize?”
“It will be much better than the half-baked intelligence group in the Central Powers. And…”
The old man’s eyes sparkled.
“If the owner moves, we will be able to find out in quite a bit of detail, although not as much as when we open it.”
Dong-gak shook his head.
“Changwi (廠衛) is not allowed. The current imperial palace is a palace of demons worse than the martial arts world. “It will take at least two or three years to achieve complete control, or at most ten years.”
“As expected, it’s impossible.”
Dong-gak clicked his tongue.
“It’s a pity that you passed away. If we had handled Yang Chen properly, we would have already been able to get the Ink Dragon in our hands. “If he had done that, he would have been much more familiar with the martial arts situation.”
I heard that Yangcheon’s movements have been unusual recently. Looking at the situation as it unfolded, he said that he seemed to have guessed Saeum’s intention.
‘Saeum will have no choice but to move more cautiously.’
If you fight with strength versus strength, how can something like Mukryongbu be an opponent of Saeum?
However, there was not only the Mukryongbu in the martial arts world. The Murim Alliance is a gigantic force that cannot even be compared to the Mukryongbu, and it is not even known how many hidden veteran experts there are in the nine factions and the six generations.
In other words, the Samgyo did not fully understand the power of the Jungwon Wurim.

If we wage an all-out war, we can expect victory, but the damage to our troops will also be devastating. It would have been better not to fight in the first place than to achieve such an awkward victory.
The old man spoke cautiously.
“Then…”
“Do you have any good ideas?”
“How about getting help from the Gwanghyeol (狂血) side?”
Dong-gak’s eyes deepened.
“Light blood doesn’t work either. No, it’s much more dangerous than getting help from Changwi.”
“As expected.”
Gwanghyeolgyo (狂血敎).
It is difficult to discuss the superiority of the power of the three religions. If power does not mean only force, then the power of the three religions is clearly equal and each has its own distinct strengths.
Among them, Gwanghyeolgyo can be said to be the most violent and rough group among the three religious groups. In a way, it can be said to be the sect that most strongly inherited the blood of the blood god who was defeated by the martial god of the central plains 300 years ago.
“Gwanghyeol is the den of beasts. Our Shinhwa and Saeum became humans with the nature of the devil, but they are not blood-blooded. “They are still the same devils as they were 300 years ago.”
“….”
“The group that must think to the end even in the worst of the worst situations is Gwanghyeol. Of course, this is just my opinion.”
The old man nodded.
“You said you still have room, so let’s try to approach it a little more slowly. “Even if it takes some time, we will investigate as carefully as possible.”
“Yeah, that’s better.”
The old man closed the letter.
“After transcription, we will send it to the next base.”
“I know.”
The old man took out a fine pen and quickly wrote a letter.
Surprisingly, even the handwriting was identical without a single error. It was an informant’s writing method that blocked the writer’s information remaining in the handwriting.
The old man whistled.
Beep!
The old man’s whistling sound was very strange. It was so small that you couldn’t hear it unless you listened closely, but if you listened closely, it was a strangely sharp sound.
Food deuk.
After a while, a black crow sat by the window.
The crow had a bronze beak and red eyes. At first glance, it was no ordinary crow.
When the old man hung the letter on the crow’s leg, the crow flew up with might.
Food! Sigh!
For a moment, Dong-gak’s eyes flashed.
Shake!
As soon as the crow took off, Dong-gak opened the door and ran out, looking around.
The old man looked at him curiously.
“How can you do that, leader?”
“….”
“Captain?”
“…Well, I guess not.”
Dong-gak frowned.
“I guess it was just the wind.”
I heard something strange. I ran out right away just in case, but I didn’t feel like I was popular.
“I guess I was sensitive.”
His senses were as sensitive as those of an animal. Even the hiding of most assassins can be discovered five chapters in advance.
There was no way there was someone.
Donggak closed the door and entered Mook.
“I will guard this place, so please learn more about Yeonhojeong.”
“All right.”

“The tea tastes good.”
“Hehe, right?”
Zhuge Wenhu said with a cheerful face.
“I’ve tried countless teas, but my daughter’s tea is the best.”
“Sniff, then stop by my residence often. “Even if I want to make you a cup of tea, it’s hard to see you.”
“Hey, what can I do if I’m busy with work? “Aren’t you also having trouble sleeping because of the training of the Army of Death?”
Zhuge Yan smiled.
“Fortunately, it was all over as of yesterday. Now, it moves organically on its own without having to set the location or time.”
“already?”
“yes.”
Zhuge Wenhu was surprised.
“Didn’t you clearly say a while ago that you would teach part of the true method of disassembling the Heavenly Gate Gate, Four Sasang Wind Clouds, and Daeragu Palace?”
“that’s right.”
“Each of those formations is a famous formation that is difficult to use in actual combat even after three years of training. It takes more than five years of training to unfold freely. “No matter how easy it was to teach you, are you saying that you can already move on your own without the Jinju?”
Zhuge Yan shrugged his shoulders.
“Perhaps because they learned from a famous school, their understanding was good. Moreover, they are good at fighting as one body, so if you look at the learning time, they are several times faster than the martial arts scholars from their home family.”
“Huh!”
“Besides, it’s not a complete strategy. It takes too long to learn it properly anyway, and it’s impossible because it’s a secret from the original family. “This much is enough.”
“Since you can say that, please make sure to invite this father when you demonstrate later. “I’d like to take a look.”
“Good.”
Seeing his daughter’s confident smile, Zhuge Liang also had great expectations. This is because I know very well how perfectionistic my daughter is in this regard.
So, the father and daughter had a conversation for the first time in a long time.
“Sir.”
Zhuge Zhen was surprised. Because it was a familiar voice.
Zhuge Wenhu said calmly.
“Please come in.”
The door opened and Yeon Ho-jeong came in.
Zhuge Yan narrowed his eyes.
“What are you doing at this hour?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled once and spoke to Zhuge Mun-ho.
“We found everything.”
Zhuge Wenhu’s eyes lit up.
“Is it a myth?”
“That’s right.”
“How many places?”
“There are four places in total.”
“There are a lot.”
“I guess that means they care that much.”
“You wouldn’t have been caught, right?”
“On the way back, I checked it three times in reverse order. “I didn’t notice.”
“It’s truly amazing.”
Zhuge Wenhu took out a document from the desk and handed it to Yeon Ho-jeong.
“These are people I have selected in my own way. Since this is a serious issue, most people have no choice but to come home.”
“It doesn’t matter as long as you have the ability.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked through the documents, and Zhuge Mun-ho was lost in thought with his hands clasped together.
In the middle, Zhuge Yan narrowed his eyes.
“What kind of conversation is this?”
“hmm?”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking through the list, looked at Zhuge Mun-ho and said.
“Soldier. “One person is missing.”
“Who are you talking about?”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed to Zhuge Zhen.
“Hey.”
Zhuge Yan frowned.
“What is the situation?”
Zhuge Wenhu quenched his appetite.
“Isn’t Zinc your subordinate anyway? “I didn’t bother putting you on the list because I thought it would take care of itself.”
“okay. All right.”
“…hehehe, please don’t be too harsh.”
“Do I have to die? “Your abilities are outstanding.”
Zhuge Zhenyan suddenly burst out in laughter.
“What are you talking about!!”
“You should build a watchtower with me.”
“…huh? Watchtower? What watchtower? But why am I building a watchtower?”
“You’re noisy, man.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grabbed Jegal Yeon’s back and lifted her up.
Zhuge Yan just blinked at something so absurd. The two feet floating in the air looked strangely pitiful.
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile.
“Then have a hard time.”
Zhuge Wenhu cleared his throat and waved his hand.
“Always be careful.”
Jegal Yeon shouted.
“What are you doing?!”
