How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 37
Chapter 9. The Lion of the Martial Arts Alliance (1)
All of Galsa-ryang’s items, including the magic book and the Black Water Demon Spirit, were stored in Daeryongpyo-guk.
There were several reasons for this.
First, the Nokrim Road Alliance was not a very suitable place to store anything.
No one would want to keep something precious in a place that is surrounded by current and former bandits.
Second, there was not enough distance, time, and people to go to the Murim Alliance. Jegal Hyunmong was sick at the time, so they had no choice but to move to Seongdo.
Third, it was ambiguous whether to entrust the storage to the later index or other sects of the saints.
Rather than a problem of dividing the ball, it’s because no sect would be willing to take on the magic book.
Moreover, if you leave it in the wrong place and it disappears, that is also a problem.
Fourth, I couldn’t leave it at Jegal Hyunmong’s house.
Even though it was surrounded by a mirijin, Jegal Hyunmong’s house was still an ordinary house. It was definitely not a suitable place to store the magic book.
So, they ended up storing the supplies in the unused warehouse of Daeryongpyoguk.
Of course, it wasn’t just kept.
Lim Jun-gyu himself took responsibility and conducted thorough security, and Jegal Hyeon-mong, despite his tired body, used Mirijin and Hwanmongjin to set up a formation inside the warehouse.
Considering that it is a small warehouse, it has been renovated to some extent and the structure has been twisted here and there to make it difficult to find the magic book.
“Someone started a fire. It wasn’t a big fire, it was just a superficial fire that went out… … A lot of people were coming and going to put it out.”
“The formation must have been broken.”
“Yes. After the fire was put out and we checked, the magic book was gone. Perhaps one of the people who put out the fire was the culprit.”
Of course, the system is not omnipotent.
It could cause an infinite number of phenomena, but conversely, the law could be broken in an infinite number of ways.
If countless people came in and messed around, it was bound to break.
“That’s a big deal.”
“Is that so?”
Zhuge Jun nodded.
“No matter how unexpected this may be, the Murim Alliance will never sit idly by and let this happen. They will put pressure on us through this incident.”
“You didn’t lose the magic book, but someone stole it?”
“It is up to the Murim Alliance to decide whether it is intentional or not. If I can take the reins of the Nokrim Road Alliance this time, it would be the best.”
Even Jegal Hyunmong was convinced by this simple fact.
While hanging out with the later index members, he heard various stories. And Jegal Hyunmong also learned that the Nokrim Road Alliance was receiving more attention from the martial arts world than he had thought.
‘If I had known this would happen, I would have let Im Jun-gyu be kidnapped.’
It was truly a pity.
Perhaps, if Im Jun-gyu had been sent as Ma Jin-gwang’s disciple back then, wouldn’t the situation that Jegal Hyeon-mong is going through now have been avoided?
Thinking about it, I got really angry.
“Anyway, I understand. Then we should hurry and find it before the messenger of the Murim Alliance arrives.”
“That’s true… … .”
Lim Jun-gyu hesitated and stopped speaking, and Jegal Hyunmong smiled at him.
“Has the messenger from the Murim Alliance arrived?”
“… … How did you know?”
Jegal Hyunmong felt his back being pulled.
The heavens are heartless, how could it be that a messenger from the Murim Alliance arrived at the very moment the Magic Book disappeared?
“Who is it? Didn’t you say who the inspector is?”
At that moment, Samarin opened the door and came in and asked Im Jun-gyu.
“Yes, Miss Sima. She was called Cheon Yeo-hyang.
“Plum blossom light… … No, plum blossom fairy?”
Samarin’s brow furrowed.
Zhuge Xuanmong now also knew something about Samarin.
She was quite sensitive and nervous. She had a habit of frowning when something she didn’t like happened, although she seemed to try to suppress it.
“Do you know him?”
“Personally, we don’t know each other. But we know each other pretty well.”
As he spoke, Samarin sat down on the porch.
“Do you know how the Murim Alliance is structured?”
“Yes. Didn’t you say that it is centered around the old school, with the Buddhist schools forming the center, and various sects supporting it?”
“Although it is called the Old School, in fact, there are not only very strong sects. Cheon Yeo-hyang’s Hwasan Sect is one of them.”
“Are you talking about the Volcano faction?”
“How much do you know, Volcano Clan?”
“All I know is that it’s in a volcano.”
Samarin nodded.
“The Volcano Sect is literally the Volcano Sect. It’s more like a union formed by the many Taoists who gathered in Hwasan and who are known for their martial arts. I know that their roots are similar, and the exchange of martial arts is so natural that they’re almost like one sect… … Anyway, she belongs to the Plum Blossom Sect of the Hwasan Sect.”
“Are you talking about the plum blossom faction?”
“Yes. Plum Blossom Clan. A group of strange people who want to make plum blossoms bloom on a volcano.”
Samarin gave a shallow laugh as he said that.
It didn’t make sense to her.
The volcano itself was a flower, so why did plum blossoms suddenly appear out of nowhere?
“There was something like this before. They said that they were going to turn the Volcano Sect into a plum orchard, and they were going to use lightness techniques in all directions and scatter the seeds of the plum trees here and there. They were also able to shake off the pursuit of all the Taoist schools except for the Plum Blossom Sect of the Volcano Sect… … .”
“Huh, why did you do that?”
“I don’t know. Anyway, it’s a strange place, and Plum Blossom Master is one of the great members of the Plum Blossom Sect. He’s so crazy about plums that he always carries around a wooden sword made of plum wood.”
‘Ah. He is definitely a strange person.’

Zhuge Xuanmong could not help but nod his head at Sima Lin’s comment.
“But why do you say that’s a problem? It’s certainly unusual, but what does that have to do with the present… ?”
“Because they are people who live in their own world. Do you think that people who are crazy about plum blossoms and want to make plum blossoms bloom on a mountain of rocks would listen to what other people say?”
“aha.”
Jegal Hyunmong let out a soft sigh at those words.
“And the rumors aren’t that good either. You never know when or how it might come out, and once she decides to act, she definitely does it. No matter what kind of trouble it might cause. Would you believe that there’s a special task force in the Murim Alliance just to clean up after her? And the worst is… … .”
“What’s the worst?”
“She is a master of the peak.”
“That’s really the worst.”
Jegal Hyunmong couldn’t help but nod his head.
If someone doesn’t listen to others, has strange beliefs, and is also strong in martial arts, then there’s no way to describe them other than the worst.
“It’s true. There’s a record of me joining a sect that was in league with Mine and destroying that sect. As a result, it’s true that Mine was there, but if it hadn’t been for that, it could have developed into something quite serious.”
When even Zhuge Jun waved his hand and said so, Zhuge Xuanmong was convinced by the reactions of the later strategists.
“Well, I see. Then… … I guess it would be a good idea to prepare a little bit.”
After saying that, Jegal Hyunmong went into his room for a moment and then came out.
I wrote something down, dried the ink with magical heat, and handed the letter over to Zhuge Jun.
“Brother, what is this…?”
“Oh, just in case. I understand the general situation. Let’s go.”
It didn’t take long for the Great Dragon to arrive.
Because it was Jegal Hyunmong’s workplace in the first place.
‘But this is the first time I’ve felt this unfamiliar.’
The first thing I saw upon arrival was a group of strangers surrounding the inside and outside of Daeryongpyo-guk, controlling entry and exit.
His expression is stiff, and the aura he exudes is extremely stern.
They were low-ranking warriors of the Murim Alliance.
“fu*k, it’s our flag.”
Lim Jun-gyu clicked his tongue, not liking the sight, but it really couldn’t be helped.
Lim Jun-gyu, who had calmed his mind by saying something, stepped forward and spoke.
“I brought it!”
“hmm.”
The warriors of the Murim Alliance looked at the people and nodded.
“Hakchang-ui. Yun Geon. Tall. Your appearance matches the description. Are you the famous Jegal Seonsaeng these days?”
“Is that you?”
Jegal Jun was embarrassed when he was suddenly pointed out. Then Jegal Hyunmong nodded.
“Yes.”
“… … .”
Many people looked at Jegal Hyunmong as he responded without changing his expression.
Even Zhuge Jun was included in that gaze.
“Okay. Then you come in alone. Inspector Chun wanted a private meeting.”
“Why?”
“Well, I only want to hear from the person involved.”
A clear voice flowed out from within.
While the warriors of the Murim Alliance hurriedly straightened their postures, the gates of the Great Dragon Kingdom opened.
What appeared inside was a long-haired female Taoist priestess wearing a white robe.
He was holding a wooden sword on his back and a real sword in one hand, and he gave off an air of being far removed from the secular world.
Although she didn’t say a word about herself, everyone there instinctively knew that she was Cheon Yeo-hyang.
“I heard that the one who actually took the lead in finding and capturing this mine was not you, but a man named Jegal Hyunmong. Isn’t that right?”
“Wouldn’t it be possible because everyone had the strength?”
“Yes, no. I heard that the later index members didn’t even see Mine’s face, and just followed her around until they received protection from the Nokrim Road Alliance.”
Although the expression was very provocative, the content itself was correct, so the later index members were unable to speak even though they had mouths.
“Isn’t that right, Zhuge Jun Xiaoxia?”
“… … Yes. It’s an honor to meet you. Cheon Yeo-hyeop.”
“Yes. Nice to meet you. Then you must be the famous Jegal Hyunmong in the martial arts world these days. Why did you lie like that just now?”
As Cheon Yeo-hyang spoke, her eyes narrowed sharply.
That’s all, I felt a sharp pressure.
An eerie feeling, as if standing on the brink of destruction.
Feeling that, Jegal Hyunmong opened his mouth.
“I didn’t lie.”
“What! Just now… …!”
“If we talk about Master Zhuge who has recently become famous in the martial arts world, then it must be one of the three great generals of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Jun Sohyeop, right?”
“… … .”
If you keep doing that, you might get stabbed once?
No, maybe one sword isn’t enough.
Even though he was angry at Cheon Yeo-hyang’s words, Samarin couldn’t help but think that way.
Even Cheon Yeo-hyang looked dumbfounded.
“Hmm. You’re quite an interesting person, as I’ve heard. Anyway, I like you. Master Jegal, who is relatively less famous in the martial arts world. I have business with you. Now that we’ve met, let me ask you something.”
Cheon Yeo-hyang asked with a smile.
“I came to get the magic book, but it’s not there. Is it really gone?”
