#Other reasons

【Gyeongcheonchae】

It is a place that reveres the sky. Jang-seo, who entered the heart of Maga, looked around the room with curiosity, starting from the tablet hanging in the room.

Although his appearance may seem like that of a country bumpkin to Milesung, who sits in the throne, Jang Yi-seo is originally a member of the Jeongpa faction.

It was the same during the Cheonmajeon, but how often would one go in and out of the Iljangro’s bedroom while living?

You should watch it as much as you can while you can.

“My name is Jang Seo.”

After enjoying the view, Jang Il-seo took a lottery ticket from about five steps away and offered his greetings.

Then, Miles changed his unpleasant expression and spoke quietly with an indifferent face.

“What is the purpose of asking to see me?”

Why did you call me out and ask to see me right away? It was a question that put the cart before the horse. However, Jang-i-seo did not ask and just smiled.

This is because it means that since you already know everything and have called, don’t delay and get to the main point.

The one who is the leader of the elders in the Demonic Cult. He is already at the peak of his power in battles.

Jang Seo-do answered in a restrained manner.

“Would you like a bloodless ball?”

“… … !”

Milesung’s eyes twisted. Was that all? Was this something he did to relieve the pent-up resentment of his worthless children? How could someone who set out to do something great risk his life over such a trivial matter?

This is truly a pathetic thing.

“Excessive greed always leads to the loss of many things. I guess there is nothing more to say.”

Chukgakryeong. It hasn’t been long since we last spoke, but he is definitely strong. If it doesn’t suit his wishes, he refuses to talk at all. However, the other party was Jang Il-seo.

“Since Muhyeol-gong has mastered Bukmyeongsingong, it will be clear that if he awakens, he will succeed the Maga line.”

“Knowing that, you still want to risk your life. How foolish. Are you saying you want to see the end of Maga?”

“If it is the will of the Maga, the first family of our school, to protect the losers and suppress the winners, then we will see it through to the end.”

A river flows between the eyebrows of Miles. Our school is stingy with the loser and merciful with the winner. This is the same as the fundamentals.

And today’s winner is Mao. Zhang Yi clung to it.

“You’re crossing the line.”

“This is a match that even the leader has been keeping an eye on. If we go all the way, we will see who crosses the line.”

“Are you threatening?”

“I want to make a deal.”

“… … !”

So, the idea is to go to the negotiating table and figure out where each side stands.

The gaze that had been looking down on Miles became slightly more elevated.

“What do you wish for?”

“The Seven Palaces want Maga.”

“you…….”

“Can we talk a little more?”

Miles stroked his beard. And he was sure of it.

‘This guy is the one who changed Mao and established the Seven Little Palaces.’

It means to discuss the future with me while putting Mysin’s life on the scale. This is the insight of a great tree that looks into the future, not the past.

one.

“Is that what Chilsogung means?”

This is not a movement that Mao can digest.

“That’s what I mean.”

As expected, Jang-seo expressed his opinion as he wished.

If it was said to score one point, it would be a huge mistake. This is poison, not honey. Milesung’s expression hardened for a moment.

Because no matter how smart a person is, he will never tolerate a subordinate who abuses his authority.

“How dare you make up your own mind. You are not qualified to be an assistant.”

A dark murderous glare emanated from Miles’ eyes. It was as if he was going to kill me if I did anything wrong.

As expected, it was Iljangro. Looking at him acting so fiercely.

Jang Yi-seo swallowed a bitter smile and answered.

“I guess I have no choice but to get through tomorrow.”

Not now? Miles’ head tilted again.

“You speak as if something will happen tomorrow.”

“Yes, it will happen. It will be none other than the elder himself who will give the order. To destroy the Chilsogung at any cost.”

“… … !”

What is this? He is going to order the Chilsogung to be erased.

“Why do you think so?”

“The Grand Duke will ask for Maga’s loyalty. He must be stamping his feet and heading to Cheon-ga right now. And he will tell you what he wants. Choose one of the two.”

“… … !”

“The elder will be troubled. He will weigh which one is more profitable. One will soon be in favor. Since there are already many interests intertwined with the Grand Duke, he will eventually abandon the Chilsogung.”

“Your guess is harsh. Even if that were true, how could Maga destroy Chilsogung? That in itself would be treason.”

“That’s right. But from that moment on, you’ll want to erase everything related to the Seven Palaces. If it’s Maga, it’s possible. As you’ll soon find out, we don’t want anyone around us to get hurt.”

“her…….”

Milesong let out a gasp for the first time. I thought he was just some cunning guy who was always abusing his authority…

‘I am that guy.’

At this level, you can’t help but stick your tongue out.

“Are you saying that you will sacrifice your firstborn’s life as a shield?”

“There is a lot that I owe you in the future. You deserve an apology. You deserve to be held accountable.”

“It sounds like you’re definitely going to kill me.”

“If you can’t come to your senses until the end, then that’s what it’ll be like.”

“Do you think that’s a deal?”

When Miles snorted, Jang Yi-seo replied with an expression that said, “Of course.”

“Elder, Chilsogung is no longer a ruined palace on the verge of collapse. It is a place worthy of being the leader of the sect. Do you think this is not enough?”

“… … .”

“The first family of our school is the one who will be the next head of our school.”

A truly dangerous statement. But it is equally exciting.

The owner of this church comes from Mark… … .

How magnificent and sweet it is!

To be honest, my heart was greatly shaken. Even my eyelashes fluttered.

It certainly wasn’t an impossible story.

Guyu showed the world that he had reached the pinnacle of excellence, Zhang Li was incredibly intelligent, and Mao… … .

‘You broke my prejudice and showed me potential.’

Certainly, expectations can’t help but arise. But… … .

“My intention remains unchanged.”

“That means… … .”

“I’m saying that Maga will never support Chilsogung. Also, if the Grand Duke demands proof, I will have to comply.”

It was a bolt from the blue. A shadow fell over Jang Il-seo’s face.

“Can I ask why?”

“Isn’t it still just a possibility?”

“… … !”

“The first one was defeated because he reached the state of complete unity. It wasn’t due to his true skills.”

I knew it… … . Well, the opponent was an elder. I was too complacent. There was no way he wouldn’t know that I knew it too.

“It’s a matter of time. It won’t be long before it goes up.”

“I guess so.”

At that moment, Jang Yi-seo felt a strange sense of discomfort in Miles’ expression.

“There is another reason.”

As I opened my mouth in resignation, Milesung nodded with his eyes as if he was not going to hide his feelings.

What on earth is the reason?

I agree with the saying that you can’t bet everything just by looking at one-sided possibilities.

There will be a future promised by the Archduke, and there will be investments made so far. It would be a hasty decision to overturn everything today.

But now he didn’t even seem to have any intention of worrying.

There is a possibility that a minor cult leader may appear in Mark. If there is even a single possibility, it is something that cannot be cut off like a knife.

But why… … .

The moment when my eyes met with those of Miles, who had been staring at me intently.

‘no way……!’

Jang Yi-seo suddenly realized the truth behind this sense of discomfort he had been feeling.

What is it aimed at? What kind of emotion is it?

that…….

“Is it because of me?”

It was shocking, but it was hostility towards myself. Why…?

“I only believe what I see.”

“What are you talking about… … .”

“You have raised up the Chilsogung Palace that everyone else had given up on.”

“Why is that… … .”

“That’s the problem. The ingenuity to make the impossible possible, the unbelievable skill to defeat the Heavenly Swordsman, and the lack of background that doesn’t match that.”

“… … !”

“There is only one case where this contradiction becomes reality.”

Miles shouted with a cold air.

“Who sent you?”

Gooooooo-!

A heavy aura emanates from him that seems to suck everything out.

“… … !”

Woohoo!

And in response, the bets inside my body began to boil.

Oh my… … this is a disaster.

* * *

Meanwhile, at that time.

The first one to come out of Maga was riding a carriage and heading to Cheon-ga as Jang-seo had predicted.

“Umm… … .”

But unlike the expressionless Cheonmugi, the Ghost Demon Army kept moving its lips as if it was worried.

It was because of what Muhanseong said before leaving.

‘Muhyeolgong became great in Bukmyeongsingong, and Mao became a dragon. Then, Iljangro, the father of those two sons. Is he angry?’

No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like today’s event only served to strengthen Maga’s unity.

“Is it okay to just continue like this?”

“What are you going to do by staying here after everything is over?”

“Honestly, my doubts are not going away. Isn’t the truth of betrayal that the arm bends inward?”

“If Elder Il had been obsessed with bloodlines, he would not have come to us in the first place.”

“However, the Chilsogung Palace that was shown today was sufficiently threatening.”

The Archduke grits his teeth. Yes, that’s right. He doesn’t want to admit it, but Chilsogung has clearly changed.

To ignore something you saw with your own eyes and still do the same as before is something only a naive fool would do.

“So I will ask Mark to prove to me that he is of the same mind as us….”

“You are right.”

The Ghost Demon Lord smiled. Of course, the Archduke wouldn’t just let it go. He only smiled for a moment. His expression darkened again.

“But… … Jang-seo… … . That damn bastard is bothering me.”

When Jang Yi-seo’s name came out, the eyes of Cheon Mu-gi were filled with the murderous intent of a hungry venomous snake.

If I had to pick the kid in the world I would most like to kill right now, it would definitely be Jang Seo.

That means he has become something very special.

‘I have a clever plan to blow away the seal of Baek In-jang.’

A baby maggot that cleverly crawls in like a loach and wiggles its beak.

And then you dare bring in the baby? What’s wrong with Mysin?

‘At least I will be fair and square in front of the Grand Duke.’

Wrong. That guy is a born devil who can never be fair.

“That guy will die the most painful death in the world.”

“Yes. That’s a fair point. But I wonder if he’s up to something right now… … .”

“A story? Are you talking to the elder?”

“Yes… … . I am sorry, but I have never seen anyone as cunning and skillful as that guy. Isn’t it suspicious that he defeated the swordsman of the Heavenly Sword? If he wasn’t bribed in advance… … .”

To be honest, if it were in the past, I would have just brushed it off as nonsense. Who is the swordsman of the Heavenly Sword? He is the second-in-command of the Maga. How could they have rigged the match with him?

but.

‘Jang I-seo, if it’s him, he’s capable of doing that. If he dared to deceive me, how difficult would it be for him to become the Heavenly Swordsman?’

Bam. If it’s the Jang Seo you know now, then it’s definitely possible.

But even if I didn’t know about other people, if the other person was Iljangro Milesung, I had nothing to worry about.

“Haha, don’t worry. The elder will never trust that guy.”

“Why are you so sure?”

“Do you know where the people in the school’s teaching staff hang out the most?”

Why are you suddenly asking that question…?

“Well, isn’t it Mahaesan where Oryongdang and Cheonmajeon are located?”

“Wrong. It’s Maga’s Gyeongcheonchae.”

“… … !”

“Our father, the leader, does not discuss minor matters in the Cheonma Hall. He only deals with major matters. He leaves all minor matters to Maga.”

“hmm…….”

That’s right. That’s why he was called the Iljangro Milesung, the one-man underground, ten-man underground, or the prime minister of the Demonic Cult.

“There are many people who come and go to Maga’s Gyeongcheonchae. From laymen to those who hold teaching positions. Of course, we can’t leave out moles among them.”

“When you say moles… … are you talking about spies?”

“Yes. I want to go to Cheonmajeon, but I can’t bring myself to do it, so I have no choice but to aim for Gyeongcheonchae.”

I didn’t know there was such a thing. It could be. After the Jeongsa-ma peace treaty, the number of spies has increased significantly. But.

“What does that have to do with not trusting Jang-seo? Are you saying that he is a spy or something?”

The Archduke said with a sly smile.

“That can’t be. If that devil isn’t a member of the church, then who is? Think about it. How many spies has Elder Iljang been watching? And Jang Yi-seo, who was born outside the church, turned Chilsogung upside down and defeated the second-in-command, the swordsman of Beoncheon. Can you trust him?”

The Ghost Demon Army suddenly came to its senses. This is it! The reason why he was able to leave Maga without any regrets or worries.

“Haha, so even if Jang Yi-seo runs wild, there’s nothing he can do. That would be another matter if someone trustworthy could vouch for his identity. Hahahaha!”

The Archduke’s laughter rang out for a long time.

Only then did the Ghost Army breathe a sigh of relief.
