Chapter 375
Episode 375: First Mission (1)
Asura Cult was one of the three major forces of Heaven that followed Arhats.
If I had the chance to deal with them first, I couldn’t miss it.
“I will think of a way. So, until then, please do not make any moves at the Shaolin Temple.”
This meant not to commit the mistake of going around suspicious temples and ignoring them.
Jeonghye responded by reciting a Buddhist sutra as if she understood.
“Amitabha Buddha. “We will only wait for the Lord’s orders.”
“Thank you. Until then, monk, please select only the temples suspected of being part of the Asura religion.”
Jeonghye responded by placing her palms together once.
Afterwards, as if he had finished what he wanted to say, he turned his back and walked away somewhere.
And Yu Jin-san, who was left alone, folded his arms and was deep in thought.
‘If I do well, I might be able to use this opportunity to break one of Cheonchuk’s wings. But you have to move carefully.’
It was impossible to move hastily.
Isn’t this a terrifying force that even Bodhidharma raised his hands to?
First, I planned to slowly draw up a plan with my granddaughter, solidifying the inner workings of the alliance.
* * *
The creation of Cheonyuhoe and the recruitment of forces were very successful.
The two major political factions are the Shaolin Temple and the Shaman faction. And even Xiaoyo Mountain Lodge in Zhejiang Province and Heukmyo Sect in Shaanxi.
From the first day, prominent forces joined, instantly establishing themselves as a powerful force.
Afterwards, numerous so-called powerful forces flocked to the area.
Among the Gudaemun faction, which had political tendencies, the Jongnam faction and the Dongong faction additionally joined, and in the Odae family, the Namgung family and the Tang family of Sacheon joined.
Needless to say, he had a Safa tendency.
In particular, since all the forces belonging to the Apostolic Alliance wanted to join, it was a headache to select them.
And before we knew it, the recruitment period that had lasted for 10 days was finally coming to an end.
“after. “I think it’s finally been sorted out to some extent.”
After completing the final screening, Jinsan Yu left his seat and stood up.
The head of the family, Yeon Yeon-hee, who was assisting him next to him, asked in a polite manner.
“Thank you for your hard work, Elder Yanggoe. Are you satisfied with the results?”
“It exceeded my expectations. “I was able to finish it well thanks to your help.”
Of the hundreds of sects that wished to join Cheonyuhoe, the percentage approved was less than 10%.
It was a natural result since the plan was to form an elite alliance from the beginning.
And the factions that failed to join the alliance soothed their disappointment by establishing friendly relations.
“Hurry and go to the government office, Elder. The Federation meeting will begin soon.”
“That’s right.”
At the same time as the alliance was formed, it was the first time that representatives of each faction gathered in one place.
Yu Jin-san, who was heading to Cheon Yu-hoe’s government office, felt his heart pounding for some reason.
‘This is just the beginning.’
* * *
There was a subtle tension in the government office of Socheonseong, which boasted its grandeur.
This is because about 50 masters were sitting across from each other at a long table.
Each and every one of them reigned as representatives of various regions of the central plains.
Although they were all men of great power, none of them dared to act rashly in this situation.
“Is everyone here?”
At the head of the table was a girl sitting with her chin resting on her head with sleepy eyes.
The supreme leader of martial arts who has proudly risen to the top of the powerhouse where power dominates everything.
Yooseol was asking, flicking his fingers on the side of the chair.
At that time, Commander-in-Chief Eunhwa-rin, who was standing next to him, slightly lowered his head.
“Yes, Lord Hoe.”
“I’m hungry, so let’s get started. “We should finish it quickly and gather in the banquet hall to have fun.”
There was no reason to delay.
Eunhwarin looked around the audience and spoke clearly.
“You must have received individual information regarding the bylaws and operation of Cheonyuhoe. “If anyone disagrees, you can leave now.”
The bylaws of Cheonyuhoe were created by appropriately mixing the standards of the Murim Alliance and the Apostolic Alliance.
The first of these is that the orders of the Lord of the Lord are absolute.
Since everyone was well aware of the horror of the evil monster, no one would rebel.
The second was that it did not set standards between political factions and factions, and internal disputes were never allowed.
This was to prevent forces with different tendencies from fighting.
In addition, various provisions were delivered, including things that should not be done and things that must be observed.
“….”
After confirming that no one raised an objection, Eun Hwa-rin began talking about the agenda.
“As you know, we have come together to fight against a powerful enemy called Tianchu. Since this is a matter of survival, please put aside all your ideologies from now on.”
At that time, Yoo Seol, who was sitting at the head table, nodded and added.
“that’s right. So everyone, stop fighting and get along well. “Okay?”
Everyone answered in silence.
With so many prominent experts sitting around him, it must have been burdensome to even open his mouth due to the pressure of the momentum.
However, no matter where you go, there is bound to be at least one person who likes to step forward.
“Amitabha Buddha. “You are right.”
It was Jeonghye, the head of Shaolin Temple.
He was also one of the most notable senior experts in Cheonyuhoe. Perhaps that’s why his remarks had weight.
As the atmosphere warmed up, Eun Hwa-rin brought out the main topic she had prepared.
“With a powerful enemy in front of us, the first thing we will do is eliminate internal dangers. To put it simply, these are forces that could potentially become enemies.”
In the Central Plains, forces hostile to Cheon Yuhoe could not be tolerated.
This was because there was a risk of getting stabbed in the back while fighting Cheonchuk.
At that time, an absolute expert from Sadohyun asked with a puzzled expression.
“Who would want to fight against us without going crazy?”
Most people nodded as if they agreed with what he said.
The Apostolic Alliance was already a sub-federation under the influence of the Cheonyuhoe, and the Murim Alliance was also showing signs of division.
At this point, who would want to fight against Cheon Yuhoe, led by the supreme leader of martial arts?
However, there were also people who had different thoughts.
It was Elder Hyeon-ho who attended as a representative of the Jongnam faction.
“You’re going to try to fight it because it’s crazy. If you are the Plum Blossom Swordmaster of the Hwasan Sect, you are a great man.”
The Jongnam faction, located in the same island, did not get along well with the Hwasan faction.
This is because they were pressured by their power and never saw the light of day.
And it was not only the Jongnam faction that looked at the Hwasan faction unfavorably.
Baekgyu of Paedomun, located in the same island, was also full of complaints against them.
“That makes sense. To put it nicely, he is a Geomjon, but if you get to know him, he is an unprecedented crazy person and will never give in.”
At that time, Eunhwarin explained the situation to Yuseol, who was sitting at the head table.
“Maehwageomjon is also mentioned as the next leader of the Murim Alliance. “It is said that he possesses invincible swordsmanship and has never been defeated.”
There are only rumors and no one knows how strong his martial arts skills are.
There were all kinds of speculations.
The reason was that among those who had mixed swords with him, there was no one alive.
“I think I know who it is. “You’re the grandfather who was wearing the Taoist attire with the plum blossom engraved on it at the convention, right?”
“you’re right.”
The day I had a duel with the Murim Lord.
Among the many martial artists who came there, he was a strong enough figure to remain in Yu Seol’s memory.
After a moment of silence.
Hoeju’s mouth opened softly.
“Tell them I’ll be visiting soon.”
Those words were a declaration of war from the supreme leader of the martial arts to the Hwasan faction.
It was a time when the audience was agitated by the unstoppable spirit of Hoeju.
An old monk who was watching silently from one side spoke softly.
“Is there really a need for the Lord of the Association to come forward? “Please leave the volcano wave to me.”
He was Mukwang, a member of the Shaman faction.
He was also an absolute expert, but compared to the reputation of Plum Sword Zone, he didn’t feel inferior.
Perhaps that’s why Yoo Seol asked with a worried expression.
“Grandpa, will you go and fight in person?”
What if Gwangneung Jinin, the greatest shaman of all time, goes?
According to speculation, he lost to the Plum Blossom Sword Zone in all battles.
At that time, Jang Mun-in of the Shaman faction was startled and waved his hand.
“Is that possible? “I’m just trying to persuade you through conversation.”
If that was the case, there was no reason to refuse.
Yu Seol readily accepted his offer.
“Then let’s do it. “Who else is there?”
Eunhwarin reported what she had figured out in advance.
“In addition to the Plum Blossom Sword Zone, there are many people to be wary of. Representative examples include the Qingcheng First Sword of the Qingcheng Sect and Peng Wusheng, the absolute leader of Hebei Wulin. “How about giving them a chance too?”
“how?”
“We are having you write a pledge not to oppose Cheon Yuhoe in the future.”
Yoo Seol, who rested her chin and pondered for a moment, then spoke as if she was benevolent.
“I’ll give you a month to decide before you get spanked.”
“All right. “Then may I announce the next agenda item?”
“I do.”
Eunhwarin cleared her throat once, looked at the audience again, and spoke.
“From now on, I will announce who has been elected as an executive of the federation. “This is a decision made by the chairman, so if you have any objections, please come forward.”
In fact, this was something that Yu Jin-san and Eun Hwa-rin put their heads together to think about.
This was said only as the authority of the association to prevent dissatisfaction in advance.
The criteria for selection were that distribution and military merit were the top priority, and emphasis was placed on achieving balance by evenly distributing political inclinations to each rank.
First of all, Baekgyu of Paedomun and Maeng Namcheon, the owner of Soyo Mountain Lodge. And Baeksang, the master of the Black Myo Sect, and Tang Socheon of the Sacheondangmun were appointed as the Four Great Guardians of the Cheonyuhoe.
And, including Yu Jin-san, Jeonghye Daesa of the Shaolin Temple and Gwangneung Jin-in of the Shaman sect were appointed as elders of the Cheonyuhoe.
Considering the distribution within Moorim, it was set in a position where it would receive the highest respect.
In addition, eight head of the family were elected and given their respective roles.
And he did not forget to save face by giving honorary positions to all those who were not elected as executives.
After the results were decided, not a single person expressed dissatisfaction.
It was fair to some extent, but more than anything, it was because Yu Seol was raising his eyes in front of him.
* * *
After the union meeting ended, everyone began moving toward the banquet hall.
The most exciting thing was the rumor.
He took the lead and motioned for everyone to come quickly.
“Uhihi. From now on, let’s drink to our heart’s content and have fun together! “We prepared special food in the banquet hall.”
While everyone is walking along, lost in their own thoughts.
Yujinsan was sending a message to someone at the very rear.
– Please wait a moment.
A sharp-looking middle-aged man wearing dark black clothes stopped walking.
“…?”
He was Baeksang, the master of the Black Cat, and was also the best assassin in the Jungwon Murim.
Jinsan Yu waited for the surroundings to become quiet, then approached him and asked in a whisper.
“Can you help me?”
Baeksang looked at Yujinsan with puzzled eyes.
What are you suddenly asking me to help you with?
Of all the masters, that’s especially true for yourself.
“Is this related to Cheon Yuhoe?”
“exactly. Actually, I’m on a secret mission right now and I need your help.”
