Episode 677 Where am I! (2)
There are bound to be uncomfortable positions in the world.
It would be great if we could avoid this, but as we live in the world, there are times when situations arise that we have no choice but to face.
Hyeonjong was just like that now.
‘My stomach hurts.’
It had been a long time since Cheongmyeong felt a tingling sensation in his stomach even though he wasn’t even in front of him.
He quietly looked at those sitting in front of him.
Where normally Hwasan’s disciples would sit around and look at him with reverence, now masters from each sect were sitting there, staring at him intently.
It wasn’t a particularly hostile look, but it was easy to guess that it wasn’t friendly at all.
Gufileilbang and Odaese.
The prestigious families that dominate the current powerhouses.
Of course, King Hyeonjong had already met leading figures from each sect in one place at the World Secret Martial Arts Tournament.
But the position now is different from then.
At that time, he was just a supporter of Hwasan’s disciples among long-time writers who were not particularly interested in him. But now he was in a position where he had to receive all their attention.
If the leaders of the Cheonwoo Alliance had not been protecting him on his left and right, it would not have been easy to accept these heavy gazes so resolutely.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Beopgye, sitting in the center, silently recited his displeasure and looked at King Hyeonjong with profound gaze.
“first… … “Congratulations on the opening of the Cheonwoo Alliance, Lord Maeng.”
He was called a leader rather than a long-time scholar. This meant that Shaolin would recognize Hyeonjong as the leader of the Cheonwoo Alliance and treat him appropriately.
Of course, since things had progressed this far, it was inevitable for Shaolin, but in any case, receiving Shaolin’s notarization meant a lot to Gangho.
“thank you.”
Hyeonjong smiled.
“When the elder says that, I think Bindo feels a little more at ease.”
“ha ha ha.”
The legal world let out a soft laugh.
Perhaps thanks to that laughter, the atmosphere in the hall began to relax slightly.
“Kang Ho’s compatriots are very interested in Cheon Yu Meng.”
“yes.”
“On behalf of Kangho’s comrades, I ask that you please work hard for Kangho’s well-being and peace.”
“Do you want to say this?”
The legal world did not show any particular hostility to Cheonwoo-maeng.
This is because the court is not that hostile to Cheon Woo-maeng in the first place. The court has already decided to recognize and notarize the opening of the Cheonwoomaeng faction through a deal with Cheongmyeong.
furthermore… … .
‘surely… … .’
The legal world was able to clearly understand what the court said before coming here. A slight tension could be felt in the expressions of the masters sitting to his left and right.
In the meantime, the powerful families were scattered like grains of sand and could not form a proper union. And Shaolin, which should be the center, has also largely lost its influence over them.
‘If there was no one to fight against, there would be no reason to unite.’
If they decide that it is not beneficial to listen to Shaolin, it is impossible to control everyone, no matter how great Shaolin is.
From Shaolin’s point of view, which was losing control of the nine factions thanks to its humiliation in the World Cup, it is not at all a bad thing to have an external alliance called the Heavenly League.
of course.
It bothers me that Taoists and Taoists engage in politics like this, but isn’t the world inherently incapable of living in an upright and clean manner?
“Amitabha Buddha.”
Anyway, all of this was something I couldn’t reveal.
“The head of the headquarters also has high expectations for Cheon Woo-maeng. please… … .”
But it was that moment.
“Elder Beopgye seems to be too gentle. “For those who follow the law, this may not be such a big deal, but those who follow the laws of the world cannot get over it so easily.”
People, including the legal community, turned their gaze to where the words came from.
Li Byeok (李碧) of Cheongseong was staring at King Hyeonjong with cold eyes.
His gaze soon left Hyeonjong and focused on Tanggunak.
“If you throw a stone into a lake, it will create ripples. “It is difficult for me to fathom why the Chunwoo Meng would bother to unite and create tension in this peaceful powerhouse.”
“Rather than tension… … .”
“Are you sure that the intention is not to betray the way?”
The last question was not posed to King Hyeonjong or Tanggunak, but to other famous monks.
“hmm.”
“Hmm.”
A groaning sound escaped from the mouths of the other Myeongsuks.
Cheongseong is a sect located in Sacheon. A prestigious temple that is closer to Sacheondanga than any other place in the world.
Of course, the relationship between the Sacheondang family and Cheongseong is not like that of Hwasan and Jongnam, where they gnash their teeth and draw swords just by encountering each other, but it is even stranger if the sects located close to each other are good to begin with.
If the distance is close, the areas overlap, so interests must be shared and competition must be held for the same things. You may be able to maintain a reasonably good relationship at first, but as time goes by, it is inevitable that resentment will remain.
That’s why the hearing wall reacts so sensitively.
“Who can say anything about like-minded people coming together to form an alliance? But it’s hard to just celebrate when you don’t know what he’s going to do.”
Hyeonjong frowned slightly at the overly direct language.
“Cheonwoomaeng is by no means a place that pursues defeat. What you think will not happen.”
“if!”
Lee Byeok looked straight at Hyeonjong.
“Are you saying that even if a problem arises between the main text and the Four Heavenly Tang Families and they end up pointing swords at each other, Hwasan will not intervene in the matter?”
“… … .”
“I ask if you are saying that regardless of right or wrong, the affairs of the clan will remain the affairs of the clan. “The Cheonwoo-meng I saw doesn’t seem like that?”

Hyeonjong closed his mouth and closed his eyes, as if momentarily speechless. After calming his mind for a moment, he opened his eyes again and smiled gently.
“The reason why Cheonwoomaeng’s sects can become brothers is because they believe that each other will not do anything unreasonable. If the factions belonging to the Cheonwoo Maeng do something they should not do, the Cheonwoo Maeng will take the initiative to stop it.”
“… … .”
“For brothers do not support what is wrong, but rather prevent what is wrong.”
Everyone nodded as if that was correct.
However, it did not seem to be a sufficient answer to Lee Byeok.
“Of course it is. However, none of the people here think that Tianyu Meng would have problems from the start. “The problem lies next.”
When Hyeonjong looks at him as if wondering what that means, Lee Byeok snorts and says.
“When even a child holds a knife in his hand, he wants to swing it. Do you really think that the clans that have the powerful backing of Cheonwoo-maeng will live quietly like they are now?”
“… … .”
“Of course you will be self-reliant at first. But eventually, you’ll want to wield that power. Are you really sure that Tian Yu-meng will not cause trouble even then?”
Those gathered here looked at this wall with strange eyes.
Anyway, this is a place to celebrate the opening of a faction. Even if you are dissatisfied or have a problem, it is against etiquette to say it openly in this place.
However, no one in particular came out to dissuade Lee Byeok. Because everyone wanted to hear the answer to this.
Just as Hyeonjong was about to say something as he faced Lee Byeok’s cold eyes, Tanggunak, who had been quietly guarding his side, slowly opened his mouth.
“Elder Lee Byeok, there is no need to worry.”
“… … “What do you mean?”
Tanggunak’s mouth was strangely twisted.
“What Cheongseong is worried about is the Sacheon Party. “Isn’t that right?”
“… … .”
Lee Byeok closed his mouth tightly.
If you ask this directly, it is not easy to answer. In the first place, Cheongseong does not have much of an advantage over Sichuan Tangga. However, the Sichuan Tang family even took advantage of the power of Cheon Yu-maeng… … .
Tang Gunak’s blade-like eyes pierced him.
“Is there any need to even borrow the hand of Tian Yu-meng when the Tang family is dealing with Qingcheng? “I think you overestimate yourself.”
“Well, well… … .”
Lee Byeok’s face turned red.
Of course, he is an elder of Qingcheng, and Tang Kun-Yeok is the head of the Tang family. But even so, this was a remark that crossed the line.
“Say too much!”
“Are you talking too much?”
Tang Gunak smiled coldly, showing his teeth.
“It is not excessive for a mere elder, who is not even an elder of the Qing Province, to question the leader of the Heavenly Wu Alliance. Is what I am saying to the elder of the Qing Province excessive?”
A sword-like force emanated from Tanggunak’s body, which momentarily stiffened his face.
“Answer me.”
“Well, that’s… … .”
Lee Byeok closes his mouth.
It is not important to judge whether the logic of party/military evil is right or wrong. What was important was the fact that the poison king Tanggunak was now openly showing his hostility towards him.
Even if it was before the Cheonwoo League was formed, Lee Byeok is a person who would not dare to be an opponent of the Tang military evil. But now, how can he keep his eyes straight in the face of Party and military malice?
“Believing in prestige and wielding power?”
A sneer appeared on Tang Gunak’s lips.
“That should be said about you, not us. “If I didn’t have the prestige of being an old-timer, would I dare say something like that here?”
“Matriarch. “Your words are too much.”
As the lesser legal world began to mediate, Tang Gunak glared at everyone and said,
“Listen carefully. Hyeonjong Jinin is a scholar of volcanoes and the leader of Cheonwoomaeng. “To speak carelessly to the Lord is to ignore the Heavenly Father, and furthermore, to ignore the Four Heavenly Dang Family, the Southern Man Beast Palace, and the North Sea Ice Palace.”
I didn’t particularly raise my voice.
But that low, heavy voice seemed more threatening than any shout.
“If something like this happens in front of me one more time, the Sichuan Tang family will never sit idly by and watch it happen.”
“That is correct.”
Maeng So, who was watching the situation, crossed his arms and glared at Myeong Sook.
The intimidating feeling emanating from its mountain-like size strongly oppressed everyone in the room.
“I don’t know anything about the laws of the Central Plains. One thing I know is that the leader is not someone like you who would dare treat him carelessly. On the other hand, don’t forget that the lord is protecting you. “If the leader had not been here, I would have already done something.”
If Tanggunak’s words were advice, these words were closer to a threat.
But no one could easily object to those words.
‘That idiot gave me a justification.’
‘Absolutely foolish!’
It was Lee Byeok who broke the rules first.
So there is no one to blame if they let go of manners like this. Lee Byeok’s face turns dark as he realizes that fact.
“North Sea Ice Palace is also not a place where you can walk around Paedo. But in the North Sea, there is no way to verbally scold someone who is rude.”
Seol Sobaek said calmly.
“If you really want to know what’s too much, we can tell you.”
In fact, in terms of inaction, Seol Sobaek is not strong.
Therefore, he could not show intimidation like Tang Jun-ak or Meng Xiao.
But is there any place in the world that would dare to ignore the Northern Sea Ice Palace behind him?
As the three factions began to protect King Hyeonjong in earnest, the atmosphere instantly became desolate.
“Amitabha Buddha.”
The legal world gave a low cry of disapproval.
“I will apologize to the leader on his behalf. Please forgive our rudeness.”
“How rude. “How could that be rude?”
When King Hyeonjong slightly stretched his arms to the left and right, the energy of Tang military music and Maengso that had been intimidating the middle school officials disappeared in an instant.
Instead, King Hyeonjong’s gentle and refreshing energy gently enveloped the middle school officials.
“It’s an obvious question to ask. Bindo also knows very well the anxiety you will feel due to the opening of the Cheonwoomaeng faction.”
Hyeonjong smiled.
“But what you think will not happen. Trust the frequency.”
The legal world quietly nodded.
“I believe it. “I ask you once again to lead Cheonwoo Meng well.”
“I will.”
Looking at the two people bowing their heads to each other, Tang Gunak slightly curled the corner of his mouth.
‘The ship has been captured.’
This event was meaningful enough just because it gave the perception that Cheon Woo-maeng would never give in to the pressure of the nine factions and the five major families.
Of course, their expressions are not very good, but… … .
‘Now all I have to do is finish it well.’
However, at this time, I did not know anything about Tanggunak.
The fact that something he had never thought of, or no one else in the world could have imagined, was now approaching the volcano.
