Chapter 390
Episode 390 Secret Meeting (1)
Yu Jin-san came out of the prison and walked in the direction of Cheon Yu-hoe’s government office.
I got the information I wanted from Asura Cult’s subordinate, but his expression was not very bright.
‘They are truly strange people. ‘He was gaining transcendent power by possessing a spiritual being.’
They said they were a force serving an evil god, but they were crazier than I had imagined.
The more I thought about it, the more absurd it became, but I couldn’t help but believe it. Because I experienced it firsthand while fighting against the Asura religion’s protection at Cheonryongsa Temple.
I felt a strange energy that was somehow similar to that of an extreme demon…
‘Then how strong is the cult leader who carries Asura on his body?’
I was even more anxious because I couldn’t estimate the extent.
Didn’t they say in the past that even the Great Master Bodhidharma could not overpower the leader of the Asura religion?
No matter how conservative you think, he would be a Talma, but he would be an absolute powerhouse that transcends the level of Talma.
At that moment, a question appeared in my mind.
‘Is it really a good idea to bring those scary guys here at this time?’
I thought maybe I was making a mistake right now.
It was a time when I was sighing out of frustration.
A granddaughter’s cry was suddenly heard from somewhere.
“Grandpa~!!”
The top of the tall pavilion on the right.
There, Yuseol stood tall and looked down at this place.
“What are you doing standing there!?”
Taaa-!
In the blink of an eye, my granddaughter’s new model was right in front of me.
“I was looking for you. Where have you been?”
“I’m on my way to prison. “Why did you look for spare money?”
I couldn’t guess what it was for. Because it wasn’t normal behavior.
It seemed urgent, but it didn’t seem like anything major had happened.
At that time, Yoo Seol began to pull his hand as he made a puzzled expression.
“I have somewhere to go with you. “We have to go quickly.”
“What’s going on?”
“They say a guest is here to meet us. “The person I wanted to see.”
To this extent, the number of people the granddaughter would be happy to meet was limited.
Moreover, if he suddenly came to me and asked me to call him, he must be a person of some status.
There was one person I guessed.
‘…Surely she?’
I thought that maybe the person I had been waiting for had come.
You will find out once you get there.
Yu Jin-san gave his granddaughter a chin gesture.
“OK. Okay, so take the lead. “If the owner tells me to go, I have to go.”
“Yes! “Let’s go now.”
The place that Yu Seol guided us to was not the headquarters of Cheon Yuhoe, but on the other side.
The two moved quickly, leaving the civilian area of Socheonseong and headed straight for the castle gate.
The inspection of the castle gate was under the jurisdiction of the Geumgun, and everyone had to be inspected when entering or leaving.
The same goes for the martial arts people, but there was only one person who was an exception.
“Hello, Lord Seong. Are you going out?”
The Geumgun officer guarding the castle gate recognized the story and greeted me.
Yu Seol also seemed to remember his face and raised one hand with a smile on her face.
“It’s been a while, mister. “I’m going somewhere soon.”
The officer slightly lowered his head and then shouted behind his back.
“It is the Lord of the castle! “Let me pass!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the gatekeepers took a step back to the left and right.
Yu Seol narrowed one eye at them as they made eye contact, and then began to attack in earnest.
Paang-!
The place we arrived after escaping Socheonseong was a nearby hill.
It took less than half an hour to get here.
“We’re all here, grandpa. “They say they’re waiting over there.”
Yu Seol’s index finger was pointing to a hermitage visible at the top.
Because it was not that high, it was a distance that could be reached in an instant with light air.
“OK. Let’s go quickly.”
After a while, I arrived at the summit and a hermitage came into view on a flat basin.
And in front of him, two women wearing bamboo gloves were looking this way.
They were wearing white and red robes, respectively, and were holding a sword in one hand.
At that time, the woman in white smiled brightly like a flower in full bloom.
“Seol-ah!”
Hearing the happy voice, Yoo Seol ran over to her and hugged her waist.
“Soso sister!”
“When did you get so big? “Now I’m not much different from you.”
“Hi-Hi. I miss you.”
Her identity was none other than Geomhu Soso, the strongest warrior of the previous martial arts.
And the woman next to him was Yeong-young, who had suddenly left her position as the leader of the Apostles.
They were also welcome faces for Jinsan Yu.
After a happy ending, the four sat facing each other at an outdoor table.
When the atmosphere settled down to a certain degree, Geomhu put his hands together and spoke towards Yujinsan.
“Thank you, old man. “Thanks to your hard work, I was able to let go of the hour.”
She omitted the details, but Yu Jin-san understood right away.
This is probably a thank you for all the hard work behind the scenes to help her granddaughter become a queen.
And this was also what she asked for.
“Say anything. “What did I do?”
“no. Everything is the result of Seol’s powerlessness plus the elder’s wisdom. “Now that the Jungwon Murim has finally been unified, we can focus on stopping only enemies other than Sae.”
“There are too many forces that have not joined yet to conclude that there is unity.”
Numerous forces rushed to gather at Cheonyuhoe, but not all.
Isn’t it a situation where some of the Old Daemun faction and several members of the Murim family are watching?
Currently, they were given a grace period to wait for the results.
“Now that the Shaolin Temple and the Shaman Sect have joined, it is only a matter of time. In the end, everyone will want to be with Chen Yuhoe.”
Eugene San’s thoughts were not much different.
It is impossible to even compare the power difference between Cheon Yuhoe, who has several world-class experts, and the Murimmaeng, which is only a shell.
It would be highly unlikely that they would try to confront each other while ignoring the overwhelming difference.
He subtly asked Soso what he was curious about.
“But why didn’t you try to unify the martial arts kingdom? “You must have had the ability to do that.”
Like her granddaughter, she was also an expert born with a unique constitution called seonumji body.
He was also the one who created the one-eyed Murim lord Hwaryeong incident and had a history of defeating numerous absolute masters.
So, this was something I was always curious about.
At that time, a faint smile appeared on Soso’s face.
“What do you think would have happened if I had been the head of Cheon Yuhoe? “Would it be possible for so many forces to come rushing in and help me like they do now?”
“Hmm…”
Yu Jin-san couldn’t answer easily.
The problem was that Geomhu had too many enemies. I wonder if the political faction would have made such an uproar when the golden powder tax ceremony was held.
That may be the reason why she did not come to Socheonseong and proposed a secret meeting.
If she had founded Cheonyuhoe, political factions might have come together to destroy it.
“True supremacy recognized by all cannot be achieved through force alone. “I don’t have the ability to win people’s hearts like Seol.”
Yu Jin-san nodded his head as if he understood what she meant and asked for the main point.
“Anyway, why did you come to see us?”
“These days, the movement of the heavenly axis is unusual. “It seems that Arhat is angry because three of the Four Heavenly Kings were killed in the central plains.”
The Four Heavenly Kings of Soreumsa Temple are Arhat’s subordinates.
King Pyo-gong, who worked under the name of Warrior Dragon on Haereung Island, and King Mir, the leader of Baekhwahyeolgyo. And even King Sagye, who disguised himself as Jang Mun-in of the communal faction.
They had planned to conquer the central plains in commemoration of Arhat’s important year of birth.
‘It would be reasonable for Arhat to be angry. I lost three capable subordinates and even my plan went awry.’
If so, his retaliation will continue from now on.
Yu Jin-san asked with a nervous face.
“Do you think Arahat will come here in person?”
Wasn’t the plan to somehow bring out Asuragyo first and break its wings?
It was certain that if Arhat moved, the worst disaster would occur.
Fortunately, she shook her head sideways.
“An Arahat is someone who has already transcended life and death and is revered as noble and divine. He feels ashamed to come forward in person. So we’re probably going to use the next best thing.”
The leader of Changnyongdae also said that the Arhat was over 300 years old.
I was curious about what it meant to transcend life and death, but it was something to think about later.
“…What if it’s the next best thing?”
“The Asura Cult and the Thunder God who had gone on a far-off expedition recently returned to Heaven. One of the two forces might come to conquer this place.”
Jinsan Yu smiled and said as if the tension had eased.
“If that’s the case, it’s actually good news. Even if not, I was planning to attract one of the two.”
Coincidentally, the core strength of the martial arts group is gathered in a place called Cheonyuhoe.
It occurred to me that it would not be a task to end one of the forces of the Heavenly Axis.
But for some reason, Soso’s expression was dark the whole time.
“What were you preparing?”
“Actually, there was an incident some time ago where we hunted down and attacked a group of Asura cult members.”
Eugene San began to explain to her what had happened.
From what I heard from Director Jeonghye to the events that led to the attack on Cheonryongsa Temple.
Then, they captured the prisoners, interrogated them, and even told them everything they were plotting.
After listening to the whole story, Soso spoke with a serious expression.
“The leader of the Asura religion is a man called the Emperor of Mysterious Law, and he is not an easy person. “Maybe Cheon Yu-hoe…”
Yu Jin-san guessed why she trailed off, and all composure disappeared from her face.
“Are you saying that our Cheon Yu-hoe could get hit in the opposite direction?”
Instead of answering, she looked to the side.
Then he looked at Yu Seol, whose eyes were shining quietly, and said.
“Seol-ah. “Would you like to relax with me after a long time?”
What a sparring match.
It seemed like the intention was to gauge Yu Seol’s martial arts skills.
“Yes, good!”
Yu Seol never avoids a fight, no matter who the opponent is. Even if it’s a light sparring.
The two settled down in a nearby vacant lot and began attacking each other with their weapons in hand.
As the two prepared for the fight, Yu Jin-san and Yeong-yeong watched quietly from one side.
“What do you think?”
In response to Yu Jin-san’s question, Yeong-yeong, who was a disciple training leader, spoke softly.
“Soso has never been defeated before. But that goes for you too. Moreover, since both of them are Seonum delay…”
It was truly a sparring where it was impossible to predict victory or defeat.
And before I knew it, the fight between the two had begun.
As it was not a fight to defeat the opponent, neither party put much effort into their weapons.
It’s just a competition between herbivory and technique.
So, although there was no breathtaking tension, I couldn’t miss any scene.
Kang-! Kakaan-! Kakakang-!!
“I don’t know why that couplet looks so beautiful to my eyes.”
The mixed words and Soso’s movements seemed like heavenly dancers dancing.
Youngyoung could not take his eyes off me and continued to admire me.
“Yes, it’s really great. “I can feel tens of thousands of changes in each movement, so I feel like I am gaining enlightenment just by watching.”
Jinsan Yu had watched those two spar before.
At the time, it ended without a winner or a loss, but something was different this time.
Geomhu seemed to be moving more actively.
Kaang-!!
Two weapons flew up with a powerful single shot.
At the same time, the two lost their weapons and began fighting with their bare hands.
It looked like the sparring would continue a little longer.
Jin-san Yu fixed his gaze on the two and asked Yeong-yeong softly.
“Do you not regret leaving the Apostolic Association?”
The Apostolic Alliance was a union of four schools of thought that Yeong-yeong cultivated throughout his life.
It was quite disappointing that he left and Cheon Yu-hoe absorbed the place.
But she shook her head as if she had nothing to think about.
“I feel rather relieved. “I have no regrets because I saw the leader die in front of my eyes.”
“Anyway, we are taking good care of the brothers of the Apostolic Training who were with you. So don’t worry.”
At that moment, a smile bloomed on Yeongyeong’s face, revealed beneath the bamboo ribs.
“Brothers? They are very reprehensible people. “Because they were people who liked Eumkai more than me, the Four Masters.”
It was then. The smiles suddenly evaporated from the faces of the two people who were smiling.
This is because the movements of Geomhu and Yuseol stopped at the same time.
Paang-!
A gust of wind blew late, but no sound of impact was heard.
Now the game has been decided.
And Yu Jin-san and Yeong-young, who were looking at the results, saw it clearly.
Yu Seol’s fist is in contact with So So’s abdomen.
