#It’s not something to like

– Rock carving of the Hubei branch of the Murim Alliance.

The moment when Cheonsan Mountain is in an uproar because of Jang Seo.

Even in the rock carvings, there was a lot of talk about him.

“Say it again. The one who took the Neungga-gyeong… … is it really number 103?!”

Jegal Sang, who had just returned from the Murim Alliance, could not hide his confusion.

An emergency alert was declared in the martial arts league to find the person who murdered the old king and stole the original method.

But that guy was number 103!

“Yes. But that doesn’t mean he killed the old man.”

“then…….”

“Blood Cult. That’s what they did.”

“… … !”

Zhuge Shang was struck by the shocking sound. Then, Zhuge Somi quickly explained what had happened to him.

On the way to meet No. 103, he picked up the Neungga-gyeong, and soon realized that the fragrance of the Thousand-mile fragrance had spread, and No. 103 himself became the bait of the Blood Cult.

Zhuge Shang’s expression became increasingly shocked, and his lips became tightly shut.

If everything is true, then the death of the old king is only the beginning.

“No. 103 was a cruel man, but he was righteous and knew sacrifice. If it weren’t for him, Seonyu Sohyeop and I wouldn’t be alive.”

That must have been the case. Seonyu was No. 103’s younger brother. She would have jumped into a pit of fire to save him.

It was a stroke of genius to send it together with Jegal So-mi.

“They say that the Blood Cult has been hiding in the Demonic Cult for decades. It must have spread to the Murim Alliance as well.”

It was a terrible thing to even imagine. Zhuge Shang tightly shut his eyes, then opened them and finally opened his mouth.

“Who knows more about this?”

“It’s just me and Seonyu Sohyeop. I can’t trust anyone, so I kept quiet until the Lord came.”

“You must keep quiet from now on. You must not tell anyone.”

A shocking story. Are you asking me about the Blood Cult?

“yes.”

But even Jegal So-mi answered as if it was natural. It was natural. This does not mean that he would condone the blood cult.

On the contrary.

From now on, you shouldn’t trust anyone and you should dig more carefully and secretly.

It was obvious that if we stirred things up without any confirmation, we would end up losing trust in each other and falling into chaos.

‘This is going to be a very difficult day.’

Zhuge Liang felt bitter.

Now I understand why the weather was so gloomy.

It wasn’t the Demonic Cult that was the problem, it was the Blood Cult.

“Have you seen the 103rd Neungga-gyeong?”

“Yes. But I only skimmed through it. Of course, I wouldn’t have known that it was the original method. It wasn’t easy for me to decipher it on the spot.”

Could that really be true? Zhuge Shang swallowed a bitter smile.

‘The child would have read it all on the spot. And he would have realized that it was something out of the ordinary.’

But he didn’t say anything longer.

The monster that even the elders, who are revered by all, were astonished at is number 103.

Even if I list anecdotes about him, it will only increase the sense of emptiness.

Anyway, thank goodness.

Since he must have known that it was valuable, he would have done whatever it took to secure the Neungga-gyeong.

For the Blood Cult, it was a very terrible variable to face.

‘Haha, if it’s that kid, it won’t be easy even if the opponent is a blood relative.’

A smile that could not be hidden spread across Zhuge Liang’s lips.

‘No. 103… … You must work hard for the martial arts world. Please protect the Neungga-gyeong until the end.’

As always, I feel sorry for the reality that I am only using.

But there was something he didn’t know: No. 103 had already long ago taken the Neungga-gyeong and made it his own.

It is also becoming a giant that cannot be handled easily.

In short, the fact that Jang Seo is a terrible variable is the same for both of them.

“From now on, our rock carving will uncover the truth about the Blood Cult. It will be a difficult path. Can you make it?!”

To Zhuge Shang’s question mixed with determination, Zhuge So-mi felt her heart pounding and answered powerfully.

“yes!”

“Good! From now on, secretly track down No. 103. Be sure to move with Seonyu. That child will protect you.”

Jegal So-mi grabbed the lottery ticket with force and went outside.

Today, too, it was a rock carving that worked hard for the world.

– Mahaesan Biryongdang.

Everyone froze, holding their breath.

Jang I-seo is the vice-principal.

“Wow, that’s ridiculous… … .”

Cheonmugi collapsed to the ground and lost his mind.

“So, what is Jang-seo doing?!”

“Umm… … .”

“Did I just mishear that? You said, ‘Father, Vice-Chief.’”

Mao and Guyu. And Ma Yi is also surprised.

Well, who wouldn’t be surprised?

‘Jang Il-seo is the vice-chairman?! Is that what you call it now?’

Myo Chae-kyung’s eyes almost popped out.

‘As expected, Socheonma was right! Now, he will properly reveal the true plan for succession.’

There were also some swordsmen who cheered as if it was natural. However, the destination of their thoughts was the same for all of them.

‘There will be a great disaster at our school.’

A new change has come to the power structure that has existed until now.

“The vice-principal should come to Cheonma Hall.”

In this way, the Heavenly Horse soared high into the sky, leaving behind only confusion.

“May the Heavenly Demon Lord be blessed!”

“May the Heavenly Demon Lord be blessed!”

The execution ceremony is over.

‘I, a spy… … am the vice-chairman?!’

Leaving behind only a lingering feeling of shock.

*

After Cheonma left, Jang-seo hurriedly left the execution grounds.

The road there was so noisy that it was deafening.

“Jang-seo, are you going to do that? Vice-Chief.”

Naturally, the topic was the gift that Cheonma left behind, not the gift.

Mao clung to us like a baby bird the whole way, chattering away.

“Don’t be a vice-religious leader.”

“why.”

“It’s like you’re getting higher than me… … . I don’t like that… … .”

“Is that so? And don’t be shy about saying such dictator-like things.”

“At this point, it’s not a rise in status, it’s a reincarnation of status!”

It was just as Mao said. It was literally like being reborn.

If things continued like this, the elders and the clan leaders would have to bow to Jang Yi-seo, and the successors would also have to show respect to him unless they were the minor sect leaders.

Becoming the true and de facto second-in-command of the Demonic Cult.

“Eww! My stomach hurts! Why are you going up further!”

“You’re talking strangely again.”

“Be honest with me. You approached me with this intention from the beginning. Huh?”

If that were the case, would I have gone to you? I pressed my index finger on my temple. Then Mao suddenly seemed to be in deep thought and blurted out.

“No. You just be the vice-principal!”

“Why again?”

“You are my assistant while being the vice-principal. Then, I am your master, so I am higher.”

“What kind of logic is that… … .”

“Hahahaha! My assistant is the vice-chairman from today onwards!”

Mao runs out excitedly. At times like this, I really envy his innocence.

“Still, I’m glad you’re safe.”

“Anyway, it’s fortunate that the accusation of being a spy has been cleared.”

When I turn my head, Guyu and Ma-ui approach me. Looking at their expressions, I can still see the look of surprise on their faces, as if they had been watching me for ten years.

“I’m sorry for startling you. I’m sorry, brother.”

When I offered them both an apple, Guyu patted my shoulder instead of answering, and Ma-ui shook her head and answered.

“That bastard Yeop-Hwang was running wild even more than me. I even rowed the boat myself, saying that I had to go rescue him right away.”

Ma-ui glanced behind him. He saw Bu-gak-ju Yeop-gwang walking with the doctors next to Chil-mu-wi.

Everyone was pretending to be indifferent as if nothing had happened, but if Cheonma hadn’t appeared and intervened, they would not have been able to avoid execution.

I helped the spy by aiming my bow and sword at him.

In short, he risked his life to protect me. I can’t help but feel a pang in my heart.

“But what on earth happened? Now that I think about it, it seems like you’ve gotten stronger.”

When you reach the peak of your climax, sometimes your energy overflows and leaks out without you even realizing it.

That’s what happened just now. I was so angry that I couldn’t control myself. The two people saw through it right away.

“Well, it just happened that way.”

Jang-seo made a bet and answered vaguely as usual.

“Okay. As long as you’re safe, that’s fine.”

It was not something that had happened just for a day or two for the two of them, so they thought it would be like that.

“I’m more worried about the future.”

The magician’s face was filled with deep sorrow because of the problem that was right in front of him.

It was the position of vice-principal.

Jang made a bombshell statement.

“I intend to ask Heavenly Demon to take back my orders.”

Both of their eyes widened. Are you serious? You are serious.

“Are you saying you will refuse the position of Vice-President? Why?”

Guyu asks as if he doesn’t understand.

Is there any reason to refuse the position of one person underground and ten thousand people above?

“I thought about it carefully.”

But surprisingly, Ma-ui nodded and agreed. Then Gu-yu asked again.

“Wouldn’t it be good to become a vice-president?”

Okay, but there are reasons why you shouldn’t do it.

Should I make Mao a cult leader? No, that would be easier than when he was an aide.

The answer to this question came from two handsome men instead of Jang Seo.

The ones who came with us were Horongdangju Ji Dae-ho and Geumryongdangju Man Geum-su.

“No matter how hungry you are, if you eat anything, you’ll get sick.”

“That’s right. What if it’s a rice cake that’s much bigger than me… … I’d be crushed to death before I could even eat it.”

It was as the two people said. Jang Seo also nodded and added.

“To be blunt, it’s not something to be happy about. No, on the contrary, it’s a very dangerous situation.”

“… … !”

What is a vice principal?

Literally, if there is no leader, there is no leader. This means that he is the second-in-command of the Demonic Cult in name and reality.

Even the vacancy that Jin Woo-kwang had never given up. To put it simply, things were going well even without the vice-chairman.

But what if Jang Yi-seo, who is not even a second-grade student and has not even reached the peak of his power, sits as the vice-chairman of the Demonic Cult?

‘There will be merciless sword fights.’

And that almost happened a little while ago at the execution grounds.

After the Heavenly Horse flew away irresponsibly, the Ghost Horse Army chanted in an awkward and heavy silence.

‘How dare you… … .’

Then he started to unleash his suppressed murderous intent. Naturally, the target was Jang Seo. To him, who was a man to the core, the aftermath was not important.

‘As an elder, I command you to disband immediately! Disband!’

If Ma-ui had not acted skillfully at that time, and Ji-dae-ho, Man-geum-su, and Beon-cheon Geom-gaek had not come forward, a sword fight would have definitely occurred.

‘The expressions on Sa Hae-ryeong and Lee Gong-ja’s faces were different than usual.’

Those eyes that stared at me with a very excited expression. Just thinking about it made my spine tingle.

“Was it like that?”

Guyu nodded as if he finally understood. This was a political dispute.

“If you become the vice-regent like this, many people will target you in the future. The elders won’t just sit back and watch either.”

The atmosphere became solemn at the words of the magician.

That’s right.

The more certain the hierarchy is, the less likely it is to welcome change.

Until now, the power structure of the Demonic Cult was clear.

The clan leaders and elders strengthened their internal affairs, and the successors competed for the position of junior leader.

The point is that the unexpected category isn’t that big.

But the story changes the moment the vice-religious leader Jang Seo appears.

Jang Yi-seo would have the authority to intervene in the affairs of the head of the clan and the elders, and the successors would feel that Jang Yi-seo, who was of a similar age, was an obstacle.

Something whose very existence is bound to be nerve-wracking.

Then what will happen to Jang Seo, who has no power or influence?

‘Either I get eaten up or I get used and then I disappear.’

That’s right. This is why the position of vice-president cannot be all that good.

Even now, the reason why Ma-ui, Dok-san-gak, Ji-dae-ho, and Man-geum-su are accompanying each other is for Jang-i-seo’s safety.

Because someone might suddenly attack you.

“Hahahaha! Still, at least for a moment, our Jang Bo-jo has achieved great success. Congratulations, Vice-Chief.”

Ji Dae-ho took the lottery ticket and played a prank. Man-geum-su also laughed heartily and took the ticket.

“Are there any jokes in this situation?”

When Jang Seo-do made a face, everyone burst into laughter.

Anyway, it’s something I can just go to Cheonma and fix right now. There’s just one thing I’m worried about…

‘The way Cheonma smiled as he left was just like the way he used to give me homework in the past.’

That kind of vicious look that seems to enjoy playing.

‘Surely not… … .’

He spoke, shaking off the distracting thoughts in his head.

“Let’s go. To Cheonmajeon.”

I need to meet Cheonma soon.

Jang-seo quickened his pace.

And Mao, who had walked far ahead, wiped his smiling face and looked up at the sky with an incomprehensible expression.

Like a person who has made a resolution.
