Episode 664. Who is this touching? (4)
“An ice palace?!”
“You’re really coming.”
The middle school students swallowed their saliva and concentrated on the prose.
The North Sea Ice Palace is one of the new palaces along with the Namman Beast Palace, and is said to reign like a king in the North Sea.
They finally showed up right here, on the volcano, after a long time.
The fact that the North Sea Ice Palace had an enemy in Cheonwoomaeng was already widely known. However, just being together and having the North Sea Ice Palace come here from such a distance had a different feeling of weight.
Eyes of anticipation poured in for a moment, and soon the warriors of the Beihai Ice Palace appeared along the open road to the left and right.
“… … oh.”
“Um, those people at Bingungung… … .”
Everyone could not even breathe loudly and refrained from speaking.
The appearance of the Nanman Beast Palace was shocking, but not daunting. It was just different and interesting.
However, the feeling felt by the warriors of the North Sea Ice Palace was completely different.
‘It’s completely sharp.’
‘They are the famous swordsmen of the North Sea…’ … .’
The swordsmen of the North Sea Ice Palace had a reputation for being as cold and sharp as the cold wind of the North Sea. And the Bingungungists gathered here were personally proving that those words were not false.
The sight of warriors dressed in white robes with cold expressions walking in a perfect line was enough to make me put aside my feelings about the North Sea and start admiring it first.
Even those who doubted whether it was right for Saoeosa Palace to be talked about along with the Gupa Ilbang or the Five Generations because it had been cut off from the central plain for so long, would have no choice but to nod their heads if they saw the current state of Bukhae Ice Palace.
chuck! chuck! chuck! chuck!
The cautious steps continued.
It seemed like they were marching for war rather than people coming for a friendly event. Naturally, tension appeared on the faces of those watching.
but.
“Cheongmyeong dojoniiiiiiiim!”
“Eh?”
The middle school students tilted their heads at the voice that was suddenly heard.
“baby?”
“Why is there a kid over there?”
A boy with a young face jumped out from among the lined-up warriors and entered the mountain gate with all his might.
“Gu, Gungjuniyim! I told you to keep your body… … !”
And a middle-aged man followed behind the boy, looking scared.
‘what?’
Everyone’s eyes turned towards him, confused by the unexpected situation, but the boy didn’t seem to feel the attention of the middle school students.
The boy ran in a straight line and suddenly stopped in front of one person.
“ha… … Wow, wow… … ! Cheongmyeong Dojo!”
“… … .”
Cheongmyeong chuckled as he looked at Seol Sobaek standing in front of him with a very flushed face.
“Do you think you’re a little big?”
“Yes, Dojo!”
“Why did you come all the way here? “You just have to send someone.”
“I stopped him too.”
Han Yi-myung, who followed behind, sighed deeply.
“I said I could come alone, but the palace lord said he wanted to see the volcano in person… … .”
Seol So-baek looked at Han Yi-myeong and said quite seriously.
“How can we discuss the lines of a hundred years or a thousand years without even seeing with our own eyes what kind of clan we are together with?”
Cheongmyeong, who saw this, expressed pure emotion.
“… … “The mouth is alive.”
Very flashy.
“It’s so nice to see you again, Master!”
“Yes, yes. “I had a hard time coming.”
Cheongmyeong grinned and pointed to the back.
“But I guess there’s something else I need to do now?”
“ah! That person… … !”
Seol Sobaek nodded as if he knew. After waiting for a moment for the inspectors behind him to all enter the mountain gate, he took the lead and headed toward King Hyeonjong.
Seeing this, Tang Kunak and Meng Xiao took a step aside. He realized that there would be a need for a place where Bingung and Hwasan could exchange greetings.
Hyeonjong laughed as if he was slightly embarrassed, but Seol Sobaek soon stood in front of him and made a big gesture.
“We meet the lord of the North Sea Ice Palace, Jang Mun-in of the Great Volcanic Sect of Xue Xiaobai!”
“Welcome, palace lord. “I’ve heard a lot about it.”
Hyeonjong looked at Seol Sobaek with warm eyes.
“What hardships you must have had to come this far. “I don’t know how to express my gratitude to the palace lord for coming and honoring the occasion in person.”
“No, Jang Mun-in!”
Seol So-baek raised his head and shouted bravely.
“Compared to the blessings that the volcano has given to the North Sea, coming here in person cannot be said to be an ordeal.”
Seol So-baek paused for a moment and glanced back at Han Yi-myeong.
Then Han Yi-myung slightly nodded as if the moment was right.
“first… … .”
After catching his breath, Seol Sobaek spoke clearly.
“The North Sea has benefited greatly from volcanoes. Thanks to Jang Mun-in sending the Hwasan Five Swords to the North Sea, we were able to end the troubles in the North Sea and save the people. “The courage of Hwasan, who gave up all his food to help the people of the North Sea, is still talked about in the North Sea!”
When Cheongmyeong saw Han Yimyeong flinch slightly, he held back a slightly subtle smile.

‘I ordered it.’
That guy, that… … . Oh my, this.
“and!”
As if he had not finished speaking yet, Seol So-baek shouted in a slightly awkward voice. Those who know Seolsobaek well may have noticed the awkwardness, but most people here had no way of knowing what was strange as it was their first time seeing Seolsobaek.
“More than anything, the North Sea will never forget that it was with the help of the volcano that it was able to stop the plot of the cursed Demonic Cult.”
Then the people listening around looked at each other with blank faces.
“Why are demonic cults here?”
Demonic religion.
Even if I didn’t know what else was being said, I could clearly hear those words. It was a statement that could not be missed by anyone who lives with enemies in a powerful world.
“A demonic bridge appeared in the North Sea?”
“Are you saying that the volcano helped Binggung block the Demonic Cult?”
“That demonic religion?”
“Well, it must be the remnants.”
“No, no! Even if it were just the remnants, wasn’t it an incredible feat to have stopped the Demonic Cult? But why wasn’t that fact known to the central government?”
“… … That is because the people of the North Sea have not entered the Central Plains and have not interacted with the Central Plains people until now. Even if I tried to say it, I wouldn’t have had a chance.”
“So you’re saying that even after doing such an incredible thing, Hwasan hasn’t shown any disdain until now?”
“Ma, does that make sense?”
Everyone looked at Hyeonjong and Seol Sobaek alternately with dumbfounded eyes.
It was a statement that was difficult to believe.
However, even though he was a boy who had not yet become an adult, there was no way the lord of the North Sea Ice Palace would lie in front of so many people.
Moreover, isn’t the dignity that Seolsobaek lacks made up for by Han Yi-myeong and the swordsmen of the North Sea Ice Palace with blade-like force?
“No matter how much it is said that it is the duty of a Taoist to not show off, oh my god… … . “You accomplished something like that and didn’t say a word.”
“If Binggungju hadn’t told me directly, wouldn’t I have known about it in the future?”
“amazing. “It’s really amazing.”
Seol So-baek’s shoulders felt strong as he heard the voices of the middle school students whispering.
“The North Sea is unstoppable. The North Sea never forgets grace. Everyone in the North Sea will take this to heart and repay the volcano’s kindness.”
When Seol Sobaek tried to bow his head again, Hyeonjong reached out and grabbed his hand. And he smiled warmly.
“I heard… … .”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in.”
“I heard that the disciples and the people of Bingunggung became close friends. “Isn’t that right?”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in. We dare to call ourselves friends of volcanoes.”
Hyeonjong nodded.
“Then it’s all in vain. “What meaning does the word grace have between those who sincerely believe and are in fellowship?”
“A long writer… … .”
“Welcome. “You’ve really come to the right place.”
Seol Sobaek, who was looking at Hyeonjong with slightly bewildered eyes, soon smiled. Hyeonjong led him gently.
“Please eat inside.” “I think we have a lot of stories to share.”
When Seol So-baek glanced back, Han Yi-myeong nodded.
“Please come back, my lord. “Please leave the outside work to me.”
“Then please, Commander-in-Chief.”
“This way.”
King Hyeonjong, Tang Gunak, Meng Xiao, and Xue Xiaobaek exchanged pleasantries and walked toward Jang Mun-in’s residence.
Even when they finally disappeared, the middle class could not escape their shock.
However, that was only possible because they came here without any particular purpose. Those who climbed the volcano with a purpose were each whispering with stern faces.
“Elder. “The bond between Hwasan and the Saoemun faction appears to be stronger than expected.”
“… … I see.”
Paengak, with a hardened face, looked towards the long door.
Cheonwoomaeng is a very deformed place.
Hwasan, which was an old palace, and Sacheondanga, a member of the five major families, and the new palaces, Namman Yasugung and Bukhae Ice Palace.
Even though Gupailbang and Odaesae cannot be said to be bad friends, their relationship is a bit awkward. And it wouldn’t be strange to say that he and Saeoeosagung are close friends.
However, the sects belonging to those three forces gathered together and formed an alliance.
‘I thought the trade route connecting Yunnan, Central Plains, and the North Sea was the center of this alliance.’
Money can be a devil too. If there is enormous benefit, there is no reason why even enemies cannot join hands.
So, I thought the formation of Cheonwoomaeng was also an extension of that.
However, those who observed the current situation had to completely revise their thoughts.
“The party didn’t put up Hwasan as a scarecrow. “The center of the Tianyou Meng was really Hwasan, not Tangga.”
This was a bigger deal than I thought.
Those who come together for profit turn away without hesitation the moment there is no longer any profit to be made. However, those who come together out of loyalty do not ignore each other’s difficulties.
“Put a flue in the text. “I think I need to let you know about this situation.”
“yes!”
Paengak, who gave the instructions, quietly listened. The middle school students who had suddenly come to their senses were raising their voices about this incident.
“So, according to what the Beast Palace Lord said, isn’t it true that the Plum Blossom Sword Zone of Huashan saved Yunnan in the past?”
“no way. Is that possible? “How can Yunnan people know something that we don’t even know about?”
“Have you seen this stupid thing! So, for something I’m not sure about, the lord of the Nanman Beast Palace bowed his head so politely to the master of the volcanoes?”
“… … “Isn’t this just for show?”
“The Nanman Beast Palace bows down to the volcano just to create something to see? “There’s nothing the Beast Palace can’t do compared to a volcano!”
“Well, that’s true, but… … .”
“The Beast Palace is a clan that did not forget their grudge even while they were starving to death. So, didn’t they cut off trade with the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years? That such a sect discusses lies and bows its head in front of others simply for profit? “Don’t say nonsense!”
“… … So that means all that is true. “Then what kind of person was that Plum Blossom Sword?”
Someone was busy talking about Plum Sword Zone.
“What a demonic religion… … . “Oh my god, are there still remnants of the Demonic Cult left?”
“I don’t know about Jungwon, but if it’s the North Sea, it’s worth it. “Isn’t the North Sea famous for its large land area?”
“Even if it’s a remnant, it’s a demon school! It’s a huge achievement to have taken care of the remnants of the Demonic Cult! “But you’ve been keeping your mouth shut all this time?”
“Isn’t it a volcano! “The place where they subdued Nokrim’s main villa and distributed all of its wealth to the people around it is Hwasan.”
“Hehehe… … . Is this a consultation? “In this world?”
Paengak, who had heard all the rumblings, let out a quiet sigh.
‘I guess word will spread like wildfire.’
Neither the Beast Palace’s words nor the Ice Palace’s words fail to attract people’s attention.
Those who have gathered here are the leading figures of each sect or those who are so interested in the history of Gangho that they have come to a place where they do not need to come.
Now that these people have all heard it, how big will the impact be?
‘If it was created for this situation… … .’
Paengak’s eyes were sharply focused on the long door.
‘Hwasan is truly a scarier sect than you might think… … . No, I have to say that Cheonwoomaeng is a scarier place than I thought.’
We had no choice but to completely revise our evaluation of Cheonwoomaeng.
“Giggles.”
“… … .”
But all of a sudden, Paengak turned his head at the sound of laughter that did not fit the situation.
The volcano god dragon was giggling with an extremely evil face.
“This is why people have to live good lives. “Giggle, giggle.”
“… … .”
For some reason, it was a strange feeling that made me feel bad.
