Chapter 294
Did you say that humans who face death gain enlightenment?
Baek Hye-hyang, who came to her senses again, unclogged all the blocked meridians by circulating the energy in her body on her own without the need for help from me or the Blood Demon Sword.
Everyone was amazed at her gradually rising energy.
“Brother Hae, this is.....”
“It’s going through the wall.”
In the boundary between life and death, she was exceeding her limits.
A red haze spewed out from Baek Hye-hyang\'s mind, which had lost even its vitality, creating a whirlwind of energy.
This was a phenomenon that occurred when Hyeolcheon Daeragong reached 8 stars.
After being surprised for a while,
the soaring energy of Hyeolcheon Daeragong subsided and her energy became stable.
Once she stabilized, it wasn\'t long before she opened her closed eyes.
The pale face regained vitality.
“Congratulations! Vice pontiff!”
“Congratulations!”
Everyone sang the song in unison in celebration of Seogalma of the Izon Nanmadoje.
People really don\'t know what to do.
This is how she, who was dying, came back to life and entered the realm of superhumanity, something that only the best warriors of martial arts can achieve.
Baek Hye-hyang looked up at me.
And he spoke playfully in his characteristic teasing voice.
“I was trying to get some rest, but you’re forcing me to hold on.”
“I still have a long way to go. Can you let me rest?”
I also responded jokingly.
Baek Hye-hyang raised her eyebrows at my words.
Everyone\'s faces lit up as if they were happy to see her revived.
Master Haeakcheon said with a smile.
“There is no day as auspicious as today.”
“What Brother Hae said is correct. Hehehe. “This old man has no time left.”
Baek Hye-hyang snorted and said at the words of the two noblemen.
“not there yet. “You two, don’t even dream of retiring until you bring the Wulin Federation to its feet.”
“I don’t know if Brother Seo is like that, but this old man will stay in his position until the children of the two sect leaders and vice sect grow up, so don’t worry. Clue.”
“Three Honorable Men...”
I couldn’t help but be embarrassed by Master Haeakcheon’s words.
What do you mean you are suddenly a baby?
Although I was attracted to Baek Hye-hyang, I had a fiancé, Sima Young.
And it suited her better to achieve something like this rather than being tied down to me.
She was a woman more suited to being called a woman\'s wife than anyone else.
“The pontoon leader has a lot of work to do. Let’s say something like that as a joke…”
“Unhwi.”
She cut me off.
I can\'t believe you call me by your name and not by your religious leader.
When I was puzzled, she stood up and said,
“Do you know what I regretted most before I died?”
“That...”
At that time, Baek Hye-hyang unexpectedly wrapped her arms around my neck and tried to kiss my lips.
Earlier, I was so close to death that I felt weak and accepted it, but not now.
As if in a flash of lightning, I covered her lips with my hand.
“Woo!”
“There are so many eyes watching, but there’s nothing to be ashamed of, right?”
At my words, Baek Hye-hyang roughly shook my hand away and spoke with her tongue licking.
“To be shy.”
‘under!\'
When I came to my senses, I was back to normal.
She was a woman with clear opinions and her own way.
I don\'t care at all what other people think.
Even though people are watching.
“Cluck. “I like being young.”
Master, this is not something to laugh about.
Well, in the first place, it was the teacher who wanted me to be with Baek Hye-hyang or Baek Ryeon-ha in order to deepen the blood of the Baek family.
However, he only kept quiet after connecting with Sima Ying, the wife of Wolak Sword Sima Chak.
Baek Hye-hyang, who was licking her tongue, spoke to me.
“There was only one thing I regretted before I died. “Jin Woon-hwi, not having you.”
For a moment, nothing comes out.
He openly reveals his feelings for me.
I was also attracted to her, but I had already decided to be with Sima Ying, so that\'s where we end.
“I’m sorry for disappointing you, but we…”
“That’s it.”
“.......There’s really nothing you can’t say to the religious leader.”
Even if she becomes the leader of a religious cult, the only person who can treat me like this is Baek Hye-hyang.
Baek Hye-hyang looked straight into my eyes and said.
“Forget about making excuses like marriage or Wolakgeom, just talk about this.”
“what?”
“Are you attracted to me?”
I was speechless at her direct question.
Normally, I could lie right away without even thinking about it.
I could have just said no, but since I was looking into her eyes, the words didn\'t come out easily.
-What\'s wrong with being a cheater and a liar?
Sodamgeom giggled and laughed.
I know.
It\'s also funny to lie about something.
When I thought Baek Hye-hyang might die, my heart broke.
From the first time I saw her, I remembered the hardships and various things we had experienced together in Musou Castle.
I knew it clearly then.
I am just as attracted to this woman as I am to Sima Ying.
“Don’t think about faking it. “I can tell just by looking in your eyes.”
“............”
She is truly a woman who is straight forward in everything.
As I stared at her waiting for an answer, I took a long breath and nodded.
“I’m attracted. But...”
“That’s enough. “That answer is enough.”
“what?”
The backstory is more important, but what is enough?
Baek Hye-hyang spoke to me in a voice so excited that my lips twitched.
“Whether we split it in half or share the same bed is a matter between him and me, so you’re out.”
‘!?\'
What did I just hear?
Split it in half?
Suddenly, my head feels dizzy.
I was embarrassed, but my teacher, Haeak-cheon, tapped me on the shoulder and laughed cheerfully as if I was happy.
“Khahahahaha.”
..........It\'s not my problem, is it?
Anyway, now that Baek Hye-hyang is alive, we have to deal with the remaining political faction members of the Murim League branch.
Since they entered Mount Ling, which can be said to be the sanctuary of our church, we must definitely punish them.
In addition to those who climbed this mountain range, battles were also taking place on the opposite mountain range.
Since there are no high-ranking experts, the situation will be less favorable than here.
“All of you, go to the opposite mountain range and support the believers of our church.”
At my words, Master showed his yellow teeth and spoke.
“There’s no need to worry about the other side. “Cult leader.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m not used to being a left player, but there’s a person there who was the best player in our school.”
‘!!!\'
no way?
For a moment, a shiver ran down my spine.
After hearing the news from Cho Seong-won, I assumed that ‘he’ had naturally died.
-Sreung!
I pulled out my sword and threw it towards the mountain range on the other side.
Rather than going in person, I wanted to check it with Sodamgeom’s perspective.
Not long after flying, Sodamgeom\'s vision was shared in his head.
There, a completely unexpected being was swinging a sword in the left hand and leading the religious leaders to fight against the political faction members.
‘Ahhh!\'
Seeing him alive warmed my heart.
* * *
North of Guangxi Province.
Between Yeongbok-hyeon and Yangsan-hyeon, the main army of the Eight Thousand Murim League was moving south.
As a latecomer, they arrived here after coming down non-stop for two days in a hurry to join the advance team.
Now, if we hurry for about three days, we can reach Ryeongsan Mountain.
However, the faces of Baek Wi-hyang and other elders who were leading them from the front were filled with anticipation.
This was understandable because they thought the war would be almost over by the time they arrived.
In the advance team was the martial leader Musangdo Jeongcheon.
Among the superhumans, he was one of the top five masters.
On the other hand, Iljon Pahyeolgeomje Lee Dan-gang, who can be said to be the highest leader of the blood religion, was killed by a murderous assassin, and the fate of the blood religion leader was also unclear.
It was a situation where there was no choice but to assert victory.
“I went down with such force for no reason, but isn’t the war over?”
The lords of other sects nodded as if they agreed with the words of Gojin, the ark of the floating room, said to be the largest sect in Anhui Province.
The war probably broke out yesterday or today.
I didn\'t think it would take that long since it was a war between the martial arts people and not a battle between the military.
“It’s a shame. “I thought this province would be drenched in the blood of blood cultists for the first time in twenty years, but it seems like they’re just cleaning up the little people.”
“Well, it’s not a good thing to reduce the damage to latecomers.”
“ha ha ha. “That is correct.”
The advance team was the strength of the Murim Federation headquarters.
If the war could be ended without suffering damage from this force, it could be considered a great achievement.
If that happens, you will even have a justification to push back against the vice-leaders and existing executives who were against this war.
But not everyone was excited.
“Don’t let your guard down. The opponent is a blood religion. “You never know what variables will arise.”
“Huh. “Jo Daehyeop.”
He was Jo Cheong-un, a member of the Hyeongsan Ilgeom, who participated in the war as a representative of the Hyeongsan faction.
He is a latecomer and has a martial arts ability that can be counted among the top three veterans in the martial arts league\'s headquarters.
Some executives could not hide their disapproval at his words, which created an excited atmosphere.
Baek Wi-hyang, the three soldiers leading the army, spoke in a triumphant voice.
“Jo Daehyeop’s words are correct. However, could this Baek Mo and Lord Maeng have planned such a sloppy strategy? “By now, a messenger announcing victory will have arrived.”
“Soldier Baek’s words make sense. Weren\'t you careful enough to devise a strategy to deceive us all? “For this subjugation war, let’s trust the leader and the white army.”
Paeng Sa-yong, the 6th elder of the Murim League and the head of the Hebei Paeng family, spoke up.
Baek Wi-hyang, a member of the Three Armed Forces, shrugged his shoulders at his words of help.
Hyeongsan Ilgeom Jo Cheong-un sighed and said.
“Military. What would you do if, by chance, the power of the blood religion were to evacuate Mount Ling?”
“That won’t happen.”
“I haven’t seen all of the Jeon Seo-gu sent from Hana Opening. “The Hundred and Eight Arhats of Shaolin have fallen to the Blood Demon.”
At Jo Cheong-un’s words, Woo Bok-chang, the head of Paejeolmun, smiled and said.
“no. Do you really believe that? “Are you saying that Shaolin’s Hundred and Eight Nahan Jin collapsed in one go, like a blood demon lord or something?”
His words were received by Gojin, the ark of the floating room.
“Even if the current leader steps forward, it is impossible. “I don’t understand how an open source could send such absurd information.”
Everyone nodded at those words.
When everyone heard this news, they were more shocked than surprised.
It was because it was too unrealistic.
It would have made no sense to say that the Hundred and Eight Na Hanjin collapsed while competing against dozens of Chosik.
“Aren’t you distrusting information too much?”
Eon Gwang-woon, the head of the Jinju family, quietly listened and then intervened.
He also believed that the information sent this time by the government was exaggerated, but he judged that sending such a telegram was showing equivalent inaction.
At this, Baek Wi-hyang, the Commander of the Three Armies, smiled and said.
“This is nothing more than a scheme by the blood religion. In the current situation, they lack the resources to wage war. Of course we will have to disperse our forces.”
Zhao Qingyun frowned and asked.
“So you’re saying that the person who invaded the Shaolin Temple wasn’t the sect leader?”
“That is the soldier’s judgment. We have already confirmed several times through the officials sent to the clinic that the head of the blood cult is in critical condition due to wounds suffered by the sword. He appears in Shaolin? “It’s absurd…”
It was a moment like that.
Someone shouted, pointing ahead.
“Military. Look over there.”
From a distance, I saw someone running towards me with a light attack.
The person who was getting closer had a small sign on his back and was dressed in martial arts league clothing, which seemed to be a messenger.
Everyone could not hide their wonder.
Soldier Baek Yu-hyang raised his hand and stopped the advance.
“Look. The soldier I saw didn\'t say anything. “The news of victory will come soon.”
“ha ha ha. “The concerns of the Cho Daehyup have become meaningless.”
They firmly believed that a messenger had arrived to announce victory.
However, everyone could not help but frown at the behavior of the messenger who soon arrived.
‘what?\'
The messenger\'s clothes were completely covered in blood.
Baek Wi-hyang, a soldier who felt something strange, asked.
“What the hell is going on?”
In response to that question, the messenger took a deep breath and spoke.
“Military! “The leader has passed away.”
‘!!!\'
Everyone could not help but be taken aback by the completely unexpected report from the messenger.
“The lord is passing away?”
“What on earth is this…”
Most of the people, except for a few, were confident that the advance team would win.
However, the sad news that the leader had died arrived.
Baek Wi-hyang, a soldier who was so excited that his blood boiled, got off his horse, approached the messenger, and urged him.
“What nonsense is that! “Who can harm a leader?”
“It’s a blood demon. The best masters of the branch and the leader were killed by the blood demon.”
“Nonsense.”
The shock was so great that soldier Baek Yu-hyang lost strength in his legs and stumbled.
I was confident of victory in this war.
Didn\'t the leader Musangdo Jeongcheon, who was overwhelming in terms of power and could be said to be the best expert, personally step up as a starter?
The faltering military Baek Yu-hyang denied reality.
“That can’t be possible. If you say that the blood demon\'s inaction surpassed the leader, how can something like that happen? There\'s something wrong with you...” At
that time, the messenger took out a bundle of something he was wearing on his back.
It was a red, wet bundle.
“this?”
“I brought it here because I thought you wouldn’t believe it.”
“What are you bringing?”
“The leader Musang is also the supply and demand of Jeongcheon.”
“what?”
The messenger unpacked the bundle, revealing a severed head with its eyes wide open and its tongue hanging out.
At this sight, all the leaders of the martial arts factions at the forefront of the martial arts league were astonished.
Who would have known that we would see the supply and demand of Mu-sang-do Jeong-cheon right before our eyes?
“Mae...lord...”
Soldier Baek Yu-hyang was so confused.
Meanwhile, he was curious.
‘How can this guy supply and demand the leader?\'
The leader raised his head from his position and looked at the messenger.
The face of a messenger who escaped from Sura and came to report the situation of the war was very clean, without a single wound.
Unlike the bloody clothes.
- Creepy!
At that moment, military officer Baek Yu-hyang had goosebumps all over her body.
‘This guy...now?\'
His eyes were smiling as if he was enjoying this reaction.
-Sreung!
Without even having time to think, soldier Baek Yu-hyang trusted his own judgment and drew his sword and aimed it at the messenger\'s neck.
However, before the sword could reach the throat, it was caught by the messenger\'s index and middle fingers.
-window!
‘Anit?\'
It was extremely embarrassing.
For a messenger to grab his own sword.
“You...who are you?”
In response to his question, the messenger raised his eyebrows and said.
“This must be the person who cut off the head, right?”
