#Mission Start

“welcome!”

The next place Jang Il-seo headed to was a fairly large inn.

Cheonghae Guesthouse, whose name is also easy to remember.

Seonyeong had more people coming and going than living there, so there were relatively many inns and restaurants.

However, there are three reasons why I chose this place.

First, it has an open structure that allows a clear view of the second floor.

Second, high turnover at low prices.

The last third is a densely packed seating structure.

This kind of place was a very useful environment for spies to operate.

Because there is so much coming and going, it is difficult for the shopkeepers to remember the characteristics of their customers, and if there is a big commotion, it is easy for them to escape in a disorderly manner and riot.

“I’m planning to stay quietly for a few days. Do you have any rooms left?”

“Yes! Would you like to go up right away, or would you like to eat first?”

“Let’s eat first.”

“Yes, I understand!”

Jeom So-i guided them to their seats, and Jang-seo relaxed for a moment and focused on eating.

Although it had only been an hour since he arrived here, he could clearly see how much Cheonghae was suffering from the Nengga-gyeong.

‘Half of the guests at the inn are martial artists.’

Heuksabang was cute. Scars engraved like medals, and strong hands with calluses unlike ordinary people. And there was always one blade stuck somewhere on his body.

They must all have heard the rumors of the Neungga-gyeong and come here.

It was a time of chaos, with everything from small fry to big fish constantly rushing in.

‘If I keep going like this, I might end up alone and not being able to do anything. It would be easier if I had some helpers… ‘

For a moment, the young man from the Cheonghae branch I had met earlier flashed through my mind. I was worried that I had not been able to help him.

but.

‘The priority now is to stop the Blood Cult’s conspiracy.’

I had heard about the relationship between the Cheonghae branch and our school over and over again since my days in the counterintelligence unit.

As Doksahori said, they were not born in Cheonsan and were treated with contempt, but whenever their direct superior and branch manager met, they fought.

The story of Myo Chae-kyung, the head of the Biryongdang clan.

I don’t know what the deep story is, but it’s something I can nod my head to even without seeing.

Just thinking about it makes me tired.

widely!

Jang put down his spoon and headed to the guest room on the third floor.

Creak.

And the moment you open the door and step inside.

‘intruder!’

Jang-i sensed a presence inside. It couldn’t have been a mistake.

‘Did you follow me?’

I haven’t done anything to warrant that.

Creak.

I closed the door naturally and stepped inside.

Woohoo!

In the meantime, he quickly made a bet and grabbed the white thunderbolt in his hand.

And the moment I turn the wall and am about to throw it!

“You’re really late.”

A woman wearing a cotton swab sat alone at a table and spoke irritably.

“Who are you?”

“grow.”

She lifted the cotton swab slightly. Then her red lips were visible. Judging from the wrinkles on her forehead, her temper did not seem very good.

“Middle-aged?”

“Are you kidding me?!”

She flinches and nervously rips the cotton swab off, and a green gem catches her eye on her forehead.

“The Lord of the Flying Dragons!”

Myo Chae-kyung. That was her.

“What happened?”

“Put that knife away first. It’s annoying as it is.”

He hid the white thunderbolt in his gauntlet and sat down next to me.

For a moment, I wondered if this was Cheonsan. How could I meet her in the Central Plains?

That too, in a guest room that he had chosen without thinking.

“It’s obvious where people like us are going. What’s so surprising about this?”

I forgot. She was the head of the Biryong Party.

This is a look back at the reason why he chose Cheonghae Guesthouse.

The guest house must have already made contact with them in advance.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been followed like this. I let my guard down. Jang Yi-seo asked inwardly, impressed.

“Judging from your expression, it doesn’t seem like you came because you were happy. Why did you come? Are you trying to capture me as a spy again?”

“You’re saying that now!”

She continued, gritting her teeth.

“You refused to be the vice-principal. I knew you were crazy, but are you in your right mind?”

“What are you talking about again… … . I just made a choice that fit the topic.”

“Hmm, I guess you’re finally coming to your senses.”

What a beautiful thing to say. Jang I-seo turned her head away rudely. However, Myo Chae-kyung was deeply surprised despite her mocking expression.

Why on earth?

Are you saying that we can so easily throw away the opportunity that we all long for?

It’s something that’s even more incomprehensible when you hear it directly.

Of course, others warned her that Jang-seo would be in danger, but she thought differently.

‘The guy who killed the Grand Duke is refusing because he’s scared of these mere rascals? That’s ridiculous!’

She was the one who watched the Archduke go down in the wind right next to him.

I thought there must be another reason.

One, whatever it is.

“You have heard that the Archduke was held responsible for framing you as a spy and was sentenced to a year of imprisonment?”

Of course. I laughed so much with my family back then. I had a stomachache so I went to the bathroom a few times. I nodded and she let out a sigh of anger as she continued to speak.

“I did my best to prove your innocence. But you just threw me out without saying a word to the cult leader about my painstaking efforts.”

“yes.”

He nodded seriously.

“Huh? Are you calling that a word?!”

Honestly, I forgot. But does that matter?

“We’re not that close, are we? Just because we worked together once, why are you making such a big deal out of it?”

“This kid!”

The face of the Biryongdangju turned pale.

“I was suspended indefinitely for arresting you! It’s the same as being removed from the position of party leader! And what good did you do to deserve that… …!”

“It is your duty to act. You have used your status to commit many evil acts. Be thankful that you survived.”

“Shut up! It’s my regret that I can’t tear you to pieces right now!”

“Have you come to vent your anger?”

“profit!”

Myo Chae-kyung tried to suppress her trembling hands and let out a sigh.

Because I didn’t come here to fight him in the first place. In fact, it was the opposite.

“The leader told me to stay by your side and help you.”

Myo Chae-kyung turns her head and blurts out, “I understand now.”

“So in the end, you’re in a degraded state where you’ve been pushed to the edge of a cliff.”

“Seeing you talk like that in front of me, I guess you know a lot about interpersonal relationships.”

“You know me better than anyone else, so why are you saying this again?”

If she could kill with her eyes, she would have done it a hundred times over.

Anyway, the story is about a collaborator and a watchdog.

Not bad.

She was well-versed in information, had bird-like agility in the art of divination, and was also skilled in stealth.

In a foreign land, it is like gaining a thousand troops.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that she is a spy of the Blood Cult, but if that were the case, she would not have helped to overthrow the Archduke.

Moreover, she had no intention of doing it sloppily.

‘He almost became the vice-president. There’s no way another chance won’t come. It wouldn’t be a bad thing to make up for past bad relationships and look good. Hohoho!’

Myo Chae-kyung laughed heartily.

“Okay, let’s do it one more time. But there are things you must keep in mind while you are with me, my lord.”

“What is it?”

“First, don’t have any doubts about my work.”

“i get it.”

“Second. Do not enter this room until I call you.”

“Then what should I call you?”

“I will leave the window open.”

“This isn’t a shit dog. You just look at the window.”

He says that but doesn’t say no.

“What’s next?”

“Please hide your identity as much as possible. That will be sufficient.”

“Ugh, you’re being picky… … . Okay, I get it.”

The negotiations have been concluded.

Jang I-seo and Myo Chae-kyung. The two of them are on the same boat again.

“First, we need to know what the situation is here in Cheonghae.”

The mission begins now.

* * *

The left-handed Baekya was originally from the prestigious Jeonjin Sect in Taoism and was skilled in sorcery.

Not only is it common to use the magic of soul-sucking to cause memory loss, but it is also common to suddenly appear through walls.

Of course, he also personally managed the formation of Manma Bunchong.

The method was simple.

I’ll recite a spell in my room filled with rocks and dip my face in the still water!

“Hahahahaha! You’re picking on Myshin!”

Before I knew it, the entire view of Manma Tomb was visible at a glance.

Of course, if the parties inside look up at the ceiling, the face of a giant white night will be glaring at them, causing a fight.

Fortunately, however, the fog was thick and no such unfortunate incident occurred.

‘You passed the first stage with a smile. As expected of the Seven Princes.’

The monk smiled happily as he looked at the corpses lying on the floor.

Among them, I was startled when I saw the bloodless body lying in rags at Mao’s feet, but it was a fake anyway.

Moreover, the first stage of the test was only a taste.

This section simply checks basic qualifications.

The real thing is step 2.

“What, what! Where did everyone go! Guyu! Gwapyeong! Guys!”

At one point, the fog around Manma Fortress became so thick that it was impossible to see even an inch ahead, and when the fog cleared after a while, only darkness remained.

Of course, that’s from the perspective of the parties involved.

In the foreground seen from the left, only Mao and Gu You had moved to the second stage, while the rest remained on the first stage.

This means that their qualifications are only at the level of level 1, human.

Of course, considering his skills, it was a great achievement to break through this.

Gugugugu!

And in front of the Seven Martial Arts, including Gwapyeong and Asin, a huge rock rose from the ground, and inside it were countless writings and martial arts techniques.

‘Five-body Wind Magic?! These guys are lucky.’

The left-handed man recognized the martial arts at a glance and was greatly impressed.

Ochepungsin-sul is considered to be one of the best martial arts of the human race. It is not a martial art based on internal energy, but rather a Taoist martial art that utilizes external energy and magic.

For Chilmuwi, who originally had no internal energy, this was no different from giving him wings.

‘If you learn this within 100 days, the fame of Chilmuwi will spread even more in the future.’

It was a verdict worthy of the Manma Bunchong, which has been passed down through the generations by the best sorcerers of the Demonic Cult for hundreds of years.

‘As expected, those two are the ones who have advanced to the second stage.’

Soon the left-wing’s gaze turned to the side.

There were Guyu and Mao, each standing alone in the darkness.

“So from now on I’m alone?”

Needless to say, Mao also quickly figured out his situation.

“Let’s all become stronger and meet again.”

Then he smiled faintly and looked around twice.

Finding our way to the next location wasn’t difficult.

A ray of light shines from behind as if telling you to come here.

That must be the next checkpoint.

As we walked without hesitation, a bright void soon appeared beyond the light.

The moment you step inside.

bang!

The back door closed and the world became dark again.

Whew Whew Whew!

Then, with a loud noise, three letters made of light appeared in random order in front of me and then began to disappear.

Mao muttered with a frown.

“Heaven and Earth Eight? Eight worlds?!”

It is heaven, earth and man.

This was the second stage of the test, also known as the Eight Great Hells.

The final grade is determined by the degree of pain tolerance.

And the hell that fell upon Mao was… … .

Great heat hell!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Red flames shot up from all directions, engulfing Mao in an instant.

“Kuaaaah!”

The screams poured out. At this, the left-hander also frowned as if he himself was burning.

The law is an illusion, but because of that, the pain is greater than reality.

Because there is no end to the degree.

So the pain Mao must be feeling right now is definitely… … !

“It’s hot.”

Hot, hot?! The sergeant’s eyes widened. He looked closely and saw Mao lying on the floor with his arms propped up, yawning.

‘This is the power of the Heaven and Earth…!’

The left-hander had no choice but to nod with his mouth wide open. The Great Hell was nothing more than a hot spring to him.

Hurrruk!

Finally, the flames completely disappeared, leaving only one majestic phrase in front.

【Heaven】

Finally, Mao entered the third stage of the examination and gained the qualification to receive the highest level of martial arts.

‘As a successor, it is only natural that I should be able to do this much.’

The left-hand man looked at this with a proud gaze. But it didn’t end there.

‘Oh, what?!’
