#Reason for sending to Cheonghae
When I turned my head to the side, the same words appeared in the other room.
【Heaven】
The dragon of the battlefield, Guyu, also endured the pain of hell and earned his qualifications!
‘To get two or a thousand qualifications at once… … That guy is no ordinary talent.’
Obtaining the qualification of a thousand is impossible unless you have exceptional qualities.
The left-hand man hid his excitement and watched the two people’s movements.
Stage 3 was a truly splendid yet peaceful space, unlike the previous ones which were aggressive.
From the ceiling to the walls, pillars, and even the floor, it was full of ornate patterns and decorations, and at the end was a stone statue of a Taesa sitting on a platform.
It felt like a king’s tomb, or a room containing a treasure chest.
But what was important was not that, but the inscription written in front of the stone statue.
【Yeoma (炎魔) Painter】
A master of the previous generation and the original master of the Changryongdo wielded by Mao.
It was the Manma Bunchong that brought Mao to him.
And after a while, smoke began to rise from the statue and it slowly transformed into a giant spirit.
“What is this… … .”
A bizarre phenomenon just to look at.
But this is just the beginning.
Phew!
In an instant, the smoke seeped into Mao’s body!
“Kahak!”
With a scream, my body stiffened, my back straightened, and my eyes rolled back.
And the martial arts of the Demon King are engraved in my mind without any hesitation.
But the 100 days given here also had their limits.
It is up to each individual to decide whether to make it their own or not.
‘Good luck, Chil-gong-ja.’
The left-hander smiled faintly and disappeared.

– Hello, Seonyeong Cheonghae Guesthouse.
Rumors that a Neungga-gyeong had appeared in Cheonghae began to circulate about ten days ago.
‘The one who ran away with the Neungga-gyeong is hiding in Seonyeong!’
Although the story had no clear basis or source, trust gained momentum as the details of the story were made public.
“Yongmohwa?”
“This is the one who harmed Wang Ya and ran away.”
Myo Chae-kyung spread out the paper that was lying on the table. And there it was… … .
‘It’s me!’
To be exact, there was Jang Seo, who was angry at the owner of the mountain lodge. And he had a very mean smile on his face.
‘You little punk, you crazy… … .’
Anyone can see that her actions are atrocious.
“When Yongmohwa appeared, martial artists from all over the Central Plains flocked to the area. Among them was Sadoyeon.”
“You’re talking about the Black Death Room.”
“You know so well.”
Because we’ve already met before.
‘It’s the poisonous snake of the black sand room.’
Those who are as cruel and cunning as their notoriety.
“It seems that only a few people have come to investigate now, but there is talk that the Ark will come out in person soon. It seems that the Murim Alliance has delegated everything to Shaolin, but would other guys do that? They would hide their identities and come like dogs or cows.”
It’s a very possible story. Moreover, if Jegal So-mi had seen this portrait, the rumor would have been even more credible.
In the end, the more time we waste, the more people will gather… … .
“But is there a way to find the Neungga-gyeong?”
Myo Chae-kyung’s words brought me to my senses and I focused straight on my thoughts.
“No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t look easy. Isn’t this no different from looking for a lost sword in the vast ocean?”
You could see it that way. But Jang-seo shook his head inwardly.
First of all, she asked the wrong question.
“There is no need to look for the Nenggajing.”
“what……?!”
Because I’m the one who took it. Of course, I can’t say that.
“The Blood Cult is behind this incident.”
Drive the situation with some truth.
“Oh, that’s ridiculous!”
“I told you earlier. Don’t doubt it.”
“No, that’s too sudden!”
“Don’t you remember? What I said at Biryongdang.”
“Yeah… … . You said you were chasing the Blood Cult.”
Myo Chae-kyung nodded and fell into thought. In fact, it wasn’t a lie. It goes without saying that the Blood Cult was behind it.
“The Neungga-gyeong was a lie to begin with. They are using it as an excuse to plot something.”
“How on earth do you… … .”
“It doesn’t matter how I knew. You just need to think about whether the Lord will take my hand, take the blood sect’s collar, and return home in glory. Or whether I will return to my hometown and live a life of repentance.”
Myo Chae-kyung’s face changed rapidly. It must have been a mixture of countless thoughts and emotions.
It didn’t take long for one to come up with an answer.
‘This crazy dog has bitten the blood sect this time!’
So, whether it’s the bloodline or the bloodline father, the result is the same.
‘They’ll get smashed too. Just like the Archduke Nana!’
The corners of Myo Chae-kyung’s mouth went up. Then she spoke confidently.
“If I, the Lord of the Biryong Clan, don’t catch the Blood Cult, who will?”
“I thought about it carefully.”
“But isn’t it the same that the Blood Cult and the Neungga-gyeong are both well hidden? If there’s any clue, we’ll have to find it… … .”
That’s right. Let me say it again, I’ve already bitten those bastards.
From the moment I saw this portrait.
“Enemy.”
“hmm?”
“Look for a black-haired beauty who wields a long spear. She’s about two years old. She’s tall for a woman. She’s a little over five and a half feet (165cm), and she probably came to Cheonghae recently. She probably didn’t come alone, so look for Juru or Jangwon, which have recently changed hands.”
Myo Chae-kyung suddenly came to her senses at the words she heard.
With this much detailed information, it’s not that difficult if you just take the time.
“You’d better be careful, the owner is not someone you can deal with.”
“Is that what you mean?”
Myo Chae-kyung grabbed my chin and nodded. Then, as if remembering something, her eyes sparkled and she spoke.
“By the way, the leader has something to tell you.”
Cheonma? What? When I ask with my eyes, she takes out a letter from her bosom and hands it to me.
“What is this?”
“Read it.”
“As of today, the Cheonghae branch of our school… … delegates full authority to Special Inspector Jang Seo?!”
“Ohhoho!”
Cheonghae branch. Why are they giving it to me…?
When Jang Yi-seo was so shocked that he couldn’t even close his mouth, Myo Chae-kyung turned her head away as if to say something else.
“Well, it’ll be hard to do it alone, so I guess he’s telling me to use it appropriately. Don’t worry. If you handle it well, it’ll be quite useful. Of course, I couldn’t handle it. The branch manager is a crazy guy with no sense of hierarchy.”
“You say that… … .”
“anyway!”
Thud. A book was thrown onto the table.
“The details are roughly written there, so read them. It’s been a while since I’ve been to Cheonghae, so I’ll have to go out and inspect. I’ll check on the situation and come back, so call me when you’re ready.”
“No, wait a minute… … .”
Myo Chae-kyung disappeared out of the room as quickly as she could.
“under…….”
Jang, who was left alone, looked at the books on the table and sighed deeply.
What the hell is this? Why are you giving me the people that even the Biryong Party Lord couldn’t handle? I’m already so busy!
He held the books as if possessed, opened them, and read them one by one.
The Demonic Cult’s Cheonghae Branch.
The Paegeommun (覇劍門) gate in Seonyeong-si.
Hwang Jung-Hyeon’s Dotap Temple.
Gwangcheonru (光天樓) of Cheonghae Lake.
Hojohyeon’s Hangubang (項羽?).
Originally, they were just a third-rate breakwater in Cheonghae, but one day, Cheonma suddenly appeared and taught them martial arts.
Strictly speaking, he guided rather than taught, but that alone was an incredible coincidence.
Thanks to this, they became stronger day by day, and their loyalty to Cheonma became extremely high.
But that was exactly the problem.
When the war ended and Cheonma returned to Cheonsan, the high-minded man stopped following anyone’s orders.
In addition, because he was from the suburbs, he was shunned by his hometown, and these days, even contact has disappeared.
It has become a real headache that is unmanageable and doesn’t listen to anyone.
After reading it, I feel even more dumbfounded.
‘What do you want me to do?’
Jang Il-seo closed the book and was lost in thought.
You told me to find the Neungga-gyeong, but isn’t this just a series of useless things?
‘Cheonma. What on earth are you thinking?’
His world was utterly difficult to understand.
* * *
– Mahaesan Cheonmajeon.
A white-haired man looking up at the night sky.
Although he only has an indifferent expression, he is truly the unapproachable Cheonma Jinwookwang.
“Your Majesty, it seems that Jang Yi-seo has arrived safely in Seonyeong.”
Usa Heukya, standing behind, reported politely. Then he slightly raised his head.
‘Are you laughing?’
The corners of Cheonma’s mouth slightly rose. Usado smiled inwardly as well.
As soon as Jin Woo-gwang ascended to the throne as Cheonma, he purged most of them, so Black Night and White Night, who were figures from the previous generation, came to serve him.
That period alone was a whopping forty years.
But the only time he’s laughed this often was recently. Jang-seo. Only when the story about him came up.
“But is it okay to leave it like this? There are many martial artists gathered in Cheonghae right now. Isn’t this a situation where a sword fight could break out at any moment? A war of attrition could even break out?”
Usado also knew the general story.
Even though it was a time of peace, this was no different from throwing Jang Il-seo into the middle of enemy territory.
But.
“So it makes sense.”
What is this? Cheonma continued, filled with anticipation.
“Cheonghae is the land of our school.”
“Nominally, yes… … It was managed by the Cheonghae branch until the peace treaty.”
“That’s right. But the peace has lasted so long that the world seems to have forgotten about him.”
“then…….”
“I can’t just sit by and watch a child who came under my orders behave in such a ridiculous manner.”
Usagi’s spine was chilled.
“If you do that, the Neungga-gyeong will… … .”
“What good would it do me to know the martial arts of that old monk?”
Usagi’s mouth fell open.
“Then the reason you sent Jang I-seo was to pacify Cheonghae?!”
“If you can’t even calm the storm raging before your eyes, then you’re not qualified to do it.”
Cheonma laughs. Woosa is shocked. He’s been fooled! Cheonma had no intention of listening to Jang I-seo’s request to withdraw his position as vice-principal.
Quite the opposite!
‘You have thrown Jang Il-seo into the testing ground again. You have told him to calm the crisis and come back even greater!’
Only then did Usagi realize Cheonma’s true intentions and come to his senses.
Now I understand.
It was for the same reason that he entrusted the Cheonghae branch to Jang Il-seo.
‘He was not recognized in Cheonsan, but he returned after gaining power and fame in the suburbs… … .’
Then what will happen?
At that time, he would no longer be a mere rookie from a supporting position, but would become a big shot with his own power.
The birth of a truly young, green hemp seed.
If it were truly successful, it would only be a matter of time before its status on campus skyrocketed.
‘But that’s only if it succeeds. What if it fails?’
A chill ran down my spine.
‘Moreover, the Cheonghae branch is not the kind of people who would listen to someone delegating full authority?!’
Usagi shook his head with a bewildered expression.
I really can’t understand what the heavenly god of ten thousand horses is thinking.
But one thing was certain.
‘If Jang Yi-seo returns successfully, there will be a storm in Cheonsan.’
It was a day in Usagi where expectations and worries about his future were already high.
