How to Live as a Magician in the Martial Arts World Episode 70
Chapter 17 Sacheondangga (2)
* * *
“We can’t just leave the Green Forest Road Alliance alone.”
The Sichuan Tang Dynasty’s ranking system.
Of course, the series was not just a family affair. It was a kind of event that many people from Sacheon gathered to participate in.
‘What happens within the family alone doesn’t become a topic of conversation.’
Even if a fierce battle for ranking takes place in Sacheon Dangga.
If it doesn’t spread outside, the reputation that the martial artists value as much as their lives won’t spread.
However, it would be out of place for the family members to come forward and talk about themselves.
So, Sacheondangga invited people and let them know the results of the ranking battle.
Of course, if it was a really serious ranking battle, it wouldn’t be open to outsiders. But that alone was enough to spread rumors and share the topic.
At the same time, the Sacheon Dangga was using the Seoljeoljeon as a meeting place to decide the direction of the Sacheon martial arts world.
Because Sega has such strong power, it is rare for influential people to gather together.
“I would like to ask the esteemed Lord of Sacheon Dangga. Do you happen to know about the Nokrim Road Alliance that has been on the rise in Sacheon recently?”
‘It’s not good.’
The moment he heard that question, Dang-gon, who was present at the meeting, had a gut feeling.
The person who asked the question would never have a positive view of the Nokrim Road Alliance.
‘I also like the Nokrim Road Alliance.’
By chance, I got to know someone who was deeply involved with the Nokrim Road Alliance.
A person whose gaze is centered in the meeting.
Sacheon Danggaju headed towards the Tang Dynasty’s dark king, Dang Jincheon.
“Of course I know about the Nokrim Road Alliance. I heard it was a new Sacheon force led by Cheolhwabang.”
“The Green Forest Alliance is disrupting the order of Sacheon!”
The middle-aged man who said that was a fairly large corporation head.
‘Come to think of it.’
I once heard that there was quite a bit of controversy between the Sangdang and Nokrim Road Alliance.
It is said that the upper class was caught trying to secretly use the road made by the Nokrim Road Alliance, and as a result, they had to pay a considerable amount of compensation.
If you only listen to this far, it might sound like the top is bad, but that’s not necessarily the case.
In the first place, the country owns the road to Nokrim Road Alliance.
But since the government cannot manage all of those roads, they just let it go.
‘I heard that Haomen is also using a lot of bribes.’
As various interests became intertwined, the position of the Nokrim Road Alliance became quite ambiguous.
The government had no intention of bothering to create trouble or create a group of traitors, because it would cause trouble.
From the perspective of the martial arts forces, they wanted to use it in some way, as long as it did not violate national law.
I’m just passing through, but the Nokrim Road Alliance is a bunch of outlaws after all.
The very act of giving money to such people was an assault on the party’s prestige.
The problem is that there are quite a few people who think like that and rush in, only to get in trouble and get hurt.
When quite a few people tried to agree with the middle-aged man’s words, Danggon stepped forward.
“Isn’t it better not to look at it so negatively?”
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on it.
It was a sharp gaze comparable to that of a person fixated on a secret weapon.
The reason he doesn’t express his dissatisfaction right away is probably because of the green robe that Dang-gon is wearing.
“They didn’t occupy the existing roads in the first place, but rather, they repaired the rough roads and scree roads that were not normally used and made them easier to use. They say they are demanding money, but if you think of it as a fair price and not a bribe, then it’s understandable. Furthermore, the reason the Nokrim Road Alliance is gathering bandits is not for power, but rather the opposite. They say it’s for education.”
“Hmm.”
Those who had been condemning Danggon’s words shut their mouths.
It wasn’t because I had nothing to say in rebuttal.
Because the person who spoke was Danggon.
Danggon is the best swordsman in Sacheondangga and is known as a great swordsman because of his swordsmanship and his regular activities in the Dangga Association.
If you are not a savage, you cannot grasp the tail of the danggon.
And of course, this place wasn’t just filled with people.
“It seems like a slightly off-topic explanation.”
“Hyeon Geon is a true person.”
“The problem is that such a large group is growing in power. They may be paving roads in order to invade somewhere when they become powerful, and they may be gathering bandits and teaching them, but it’s not clear whether they all have the same intentions.”
“What are you talking about?”
“That means that it can change at any time. Since they have the nature of bandits, even if they are quiet now, if their power grows and they gain more strength later, their hidden nature can come out. If that happens to go against the martial arts world, then what else could it be but a disaster?”
“… … .”
Danggon held back a sigh.
Hyun Geon-jin is an elder of the Cheongseongpa.
The fact that the elder made such a statement in Sacheondangga means that the opinions of the Cheongseongpa are no different from those of the elder.
From the beginning, Dang-gon could not have imagined that an old-fashioned sect like Cheongseongpa would easily accept the Nokrim Road Alliance.
“Of course, there is a need to be on guard. However, there is no need to increase the number of enemies over something that has not even happened.”
“Binnie doesn’t seem to like it either.”
“… … .”
Danggon closed his eyes for a moment.
The one who spoke up was none other than the nun Jeong Hye of the Amipa sect.
When I closed my eyes, the dream of Jegal Hyunmong came to mind.
‘Why are there so many enemies… … .’

The dreamy Zhuge Liang responded.
‘I’m being treated unfairly. I didn’t do anything!’
‘I don’t mean doing nothing. I’ve done a lot.’
If it was really Zhuge Xuanmong, I felt a bit sad because I thought he would have said that regardless of whether it was true or not.
“Why?”
“Binni doesn’t really know much about the Nokrim Road Alliance. However, there are some strange rumors going around about one of the key figures of the Nokrim Road Alliance.”
Danggon heard the voice of Zhuge Xuanmong in his fantasy again.
‘That’s why you said that the nickname ‘Muhujaerim’ wasn’t good.’
Only then did Danggon seem to be able to understand a little of what Zhuge Xuanmong was saying.
“I heard that he uses sorcery to cause strange phenomena, and he even bewitches people. For example, I heard that he bewitched young masters who still had little experience in the martial arts world, and he even bewitched a lay disciple from Cheongseong and made him the disciple of the Nokrim Road Alliance. How can we trust an organization that has such a person?”
Amipa.
As a sect belonging to the old school, it is a sect that dislikes anything that deviates from the norm.
Even one of the names of the swordsmanship contains the word “exorcism,” so what more can I say?
“He is not a person who deceives others. There were just some misunderstandings.”
“… … I can’t believe it.”
It was not Jeong-Hye who answered the question.
“I heard an unbelievable rumor when I came to the family. One of the later leaders of the Sacheondang family was obsessed with a man named Muhou Jaerim and was always following him around. There was such a person. I thought he must be a really lacking person, but it turned out that he was my younger brother.”
“… … Cheong-ah.”
“Hwaryeong isn’t that kind of kid. She may be a bit rough with her words, but she’s a very sharp-tongued kid with strong opinions. So… … she must have experienced something out of the ordinary.”
Dokbong, Dangcheong-ah.
A promising prospect who is at the forefront of the later index of Sacheondangga and has already reached the peak of his power and become one of the representative martial artists of the Tang family.
He was a perfect martial artist who was currently affiliated with the Murim Alliance and had killed numerous demons. He was no longer a latecomer, but a rising star.
She was spouting out flowery arguments, half-excited.
– My younger brother is very kind, upright, and smart.
– It’s absurd that a younger brother like that would be hanging out with a suspicious person like Muhujaerim.
– Of course, the person called Muhujaerim committed something using some evil sorcery.
Dang-gon had a headache.
“Cheong-ah. That’s not true.”
“Did you also get poisoned by that man, uncle? How dare you defend such a man!”
“Poison stinger? Hey, you… … .”
“stop.”
Dang Jin-cheon raised his hand.
Indeed, the Sacheondang family leader had the dignity of a local leader. With just those words, the meeting that had been as noisy as a market became quiet.
“It’s a bit early to make a conclusion right now, so how about we decide on this topic after the series is safely concluded?”
Everyone nodded at Dang Jin-cheon’s words.
Although the excitement grew unintentionally, it was not a good thing for excitement to gather over other things ahead of the Tang family event.
After that, the meeting proceeded in a somewhat friendly manner.
The topic came up again as the night deepened and people started leaving one by one, leaving only the singers of Sacheondangga.
“Brother. About what we were talking about earlier.”
Dang-gon, who felt that he had a chance, spoke to Dang Jin-cheon.
That Jegal Hyunmong is not as suspicious as rumored. And.
“He is very talented. He will definitely be of help to our family.”
As he said that, Dang-gon told of something that happened a while ago.
It’s not an uninhabited island, but it’s a place that has passed the test.
Establishing a defense system in the village to drive out poison, finding water veins and filling wells, etc.
‘It’s hard to believe even as I say it.’
This was especially true because Dang Jin-cheon’s reaction was insignificant.
“In my view, Jegal Hyunmong is no ordinary person. So, allying with the Nokrim Road Alliance is definitely not a good choice.”
“No.”
Dang Jin-cheon shook his head.
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be more reasonable for Sacheondangga to cut ties with the Nokrim Road Alliance?”
“… … .”
Only then did Danggon realize why Dang Jincheon had not given a definitive answer during the meeting just now.
‘You even thought about that?’
Tang Jin-cheon’s personality was in contrast to his own.
Cold and cool.
With that kind of personality, he probably wouldn’t have believed the rumors about Zhuge Xuanmong at face value.
After stalling for time until the end and measuring as much as possible, they must have tried to make a decision that would be most beneficial to Sacheondangga.
However, Danggon somehow couldn’t quite picture the future where Jegal Hyunmong became a member of the Sacheondang family.
It can be quite the opposite, as it can easily lead to mistakes.
Doesn’t the Sacheon Party create its worst enemy?
I felt that kind of anxiety.
‘We have to figure out a way.’
While the ranking battle is taking place, there is a way to reverse this public opinion.

And at the same time.
“Your Majesty, it is morning here.”
“Your Majesty, I will prepare lunch and refreshments for you. Is there anything inconvenient?”
“As you said, I brought a few books from Jangseogak that you might want to read.”
“Dinner has been prepared as a main dish.”
Jegal Hyunmong was amazed by the mysterious phenomenon of having food, clothing, and shelter taken care of without moving a single step in the room.
‘I want to live here for the rest of my life.’
This idea will probably not change for some time.
