#It smells

“That’s how I can survive. That’s how I can endure. I just did my best to endure.”

After his long story, Jang-seo was speechless for a long time.

It felt like everything I knew about Daejoo had been completely shattered.

Could there be a more spy-like life than this?

“Don’t look at me like that. I just can’t fall in love with you like you do.”

A shallow sigh escapes. Jang Yiseo nods. They were too far apart to understand in the first place.

“Let me ask you one thing. Then was it also Cheonma’s will that you followed the rock carving’s orders?”

“Hehe, you still don’t know much about Cheonma?”

“What does that mean?”

“He doesn’t care where I belong or what I do. He just wants me to do what he tells me to do.”

Indeed, the one who knew that the Brain King had impure intentions and yet brazenly allowed him to live was none other than Cheonma.

There is no way he would have been involved in even the slightest conspiracy.

“The only order that Cheonma gave me was to infiltrate the Blood Cult and find one person.”

“Who.”

“Han Moo-young.”

“… … !”

“That was the condition for him to turn a blind eye to my identity.”

Why… … .

“Don’t ask any more. I don’t know anything more than that.”

My mind is a little confused. So, was the death penalty still looking for the master?

Since when.

No, more than that.

“So you found it?”

“Haha, if that were the case, would I be stuck here? I didn’t even hear it. Well, I didn’t even dare look for it.”

A sigh escaped. And then he met Gyeomsaik’s eyes.

Let’s calm our surprised hearts and see reality.

Such calm eyes.

He could have kept his mouth shut if he wanted to. He wouldn’t have admitted it without a reason.

He asked with a changed expression.

“What do you wish for?”

“Haha, that’s what a crazy dog ​​is like. It’s amazing how he understands everything.”

“Stop talking nonsense.”

“Get me out of here.”

A sound that automatically causes a frown.

“I will leave Cheonsan quietly. Isn’t that something you can do now?”

It’s a coincidence. When I questioned him about his true identity and found out, he admitted it as if he had been waiting for it and revealed his purpose.

Suddenly, I remembered what Gyeomsaik said when I first came in.

‘Kuuuuu. It’s only been three years. For people like us, waiting is as familiar as breathing. Sit down.’

no way.

“Was it me who waited for three years?”

“Because I thought you’d smell me and come looking for me. You’re a crazy dog, aren’t you?”

“Now that I look at it, it seems like leaving the mask in Anga was intentional.”

This is truly mind-blowing.

“But why were you surprised?”

When I asked him out of embarrassment, he answered with a bitter smile.

“On the one hand, I hoped you wouldn’t notice.”

Damn it. But you still wanted to be a major player. You’re being too greedy.

“I’m sorry I lied to you. But my feelings when I was with you were sincere.”

“That won’t make any difference.”

“I guess so… … .”

There is a bitter look on Gyeomsaik’s face. It is useless.

“Tell me what you know. I’ll tell you whether or not you’ll let me go when it’s worth it.”

“Hehe, you seem like a cold person.”

“Have you forgotten? We are not people who are moved by fate or romance. When you die, we will take care of the funeral.”

Gyeomsaik took a deep breath and nodded.

Anyway, Jang Seo is the one holding the sword. What can I do? I have to follow him.

“I’ve been a member of the Blood Cult for a long time, but I’ve never seen their true colors. That’s only natural. The Evil God’s Palju that I belong to wasn’t a Blood Cult to begin with.”

I know that.

“Even when we meet, we wear masks so we don’t know each other’s identities. Of course, we can guess them as we talk. So I guessed that Ohyung was part of the Murim Alliance… … . I didn’t know he was a soldier.”

“It sounds like you have nothing to trade.”

“It’s a bit hasty. Let me ask you something. Was the King of the Mountains the one with the most evil spirits?”

His eyes narrowed. He said he didn’t know anything. Where did he hear that?

“that’s right.”

“I see. Considering that he was the least active, I guess he must be the evil one.”

Exactly. Gyeomsaik shrugged his shoulders and answered as he looked at me questioningly.

“If it was a disaster, they would have filled that spot right away the moment I disappeared.”

“A bad omen?”

“He is the leader of the Evil Gods and Eight Pillars. He is the most sinister and dangerous of all. He is also strong enough that even the Black Blood cannot treat him lightly.”

Black Blood. This is where Red Arin belonged. A group of assassins that clean up those with problems.

“If the Sanwang family has planned something in here, it will all be a misfortune.”

That’s what they’re saying, preparing for war.

“Who is he?”

“I don’t know.”

A meaningless conversation. I stood up from my seat with a frown.

Then a soft voice flowed from behind.

“But know this one thing.”

This is your last chance.

“The spy hiding in the castle is not just a soldier.”

“what……?”

“Ilheung is a person of that level. He is also a very big shot who wishes to become the master of the martial arts world.”

“… … !”

“Look to the leader. The answer you seek will surely be within his grasp.”

When I look back, I see Gyeomsaik smiling confidently.

“… … I will release you after confirming the facts.”

“Haha, waiting is always a familiar thing. Have a nice day, Vice-Chief.”

You fucking idiot.

Jang Yi-seo came out of the brain prison and immediately ordered Myo Chae-kyung to investigate.

Have there been any unusual events around the leader in the past three years? Have any new forces emerged?

And before the sun had set, she ran to Chilsogung, where she was talking to her family, and delivered the news.

“As the vice-president said, there were some strange things.”

Damn it. I was hoping that wasn’t the case.

“It seems that something has happened to the leader.”

“… … !”

Everyone’s eyes widened, including Jang Yi-seo’s. Then Myo Chae-kyung took out a letter and handed it over.

“Look.”

As I receive the letter and open it, unfamiliar news comes into view.

【The leader of the martial arts world has returned to his hometown of Gwiju. It has been confirmed that he is preparing to step down soon.】

Resignation? I was so shocked that I gasped in shock.

“I didn’t know about it because it was special information that only the head of the household could see, but it seems like it has been talked about for a while now.”

Why on earth? No, of course it could be. He is already a first generation figure of confusion looking at the lips.

Considering that Cheonma-in and Sado-ryeon-ju are the second generation of the war, it is clear that the generation should have changed a long time ago.

but.

‘I thought it would last forever as long as Yeonju and Sa-hyeong existed.’

Honestly, it felt like a third of the finished painting was cut off.

This may be due to the symbolic meaning of the three absolute powers having already achieved balance and concluded a peace agreement for decades.

But he is retiring.

This is tantamount to heralding a great upheaval in the peaceful world of martial arts.

“I’m not sure, but… … .”

Myo Chae-kyung trails off.

“It is said that the leader has been staying in seclusion and stepping back from the front lines for the past three years. The same goes for the Shinju Ohjeols, who are also from the same first generation. Perhaps they had been preparing since then.”

If it was 3 years ago… …. Are you talking about after the death of the soldier?

“I don’t know if it’s because of that, but coincidentally, at that time, a group called the Oryunhoe appeared and is said to be having the greatest influence in the Central Plains.”

The Five-Round Society.

Originally, it was a casual social gathering started by a noble family, but in a short period of time, it grew rapidly in influence.

Since it is an unofficial gathering, its true nature is unclear, but it is common practice these days that it is difficult to operate even a small sect without their permission.

“Hey, no way. Like that.”

When Soo-oh shook his head, saying that it couldn’t be true, Myo-chae-kyung took a shallow breath and answered.

“Look. These are the sects that have disappeared or fallen into decline without a sound in three years. The one thing they all have in common is that they are all not included in the Oryunhoe.”

The documents Myo Chae-kyung put down had the names of numerous sects written on them.

There are as many as thirty of them.

Jang-seo asked softly, his voice heavy.

“Are you saying that you left it alone in the old file room?”

“As you know, the Gupaeilbang is far from the secular world. However, the Oryunhoe is different. It covers all areas, starting from the top and all the way to the imperial officials.”

This is the reason why the Oryunhoe was able to take over the martial arts world in a short period of time.

No matter how much they practice the Way and recite Buddhist scriptures, they need practical help to run an organization.

The Olympic Committee immediately took advantage of this.

Since the most basic necessities of life, food, clothing and shelter, are controlled, there is no way to endure.

Moreover, since they are a group of people with the same level of friendship, it is not something that can be controlled harshly.

“Doesn’t it smell?”

I’m going. And it’s very poisonous.

If Ilheung is a big shot like that, there is a high probability that he is the leader of the Oryunhoe.

They cleverly took control while the leader was tired.

“What should we do?”

Dokma Sasuk, who had been listening silently, asks.

Jang-i sat silently, lost in thought.

If the leader of the martial arts world announces his resignation, what will happen then?

If Ilheung takes control of the Murim Alliance, the Central Plains will be finished.

This is something that absolutely cannot be left alone. We must do everything we can to prevent the leader from stepping down.

Finally, Jang Seo’s decision was made.

“I must meet the leader myself.”

“What?!”

It’s been a little over a month since I became vice-principal.

It’s been three years since I’ve been to Gangho.

* * *

– Hualin County, Guizhou, Central Plains.

A small village full of green mountains and bushes, warm all year round.

A master has appeared in this huge manor that has been empty for a long time.

He is none other than the leader of the martial arts world, Hyeoncheong.

He welcomed his precious friend who came to visit him for the first time after returning from exile.

On the surface, he may look like a regular trespasser, but looking at the ten red knots on his waist, he can’t be that serious.

“Is it true that you are stepping down from your position as leader? Are you in your right mind?!”

He shows up after years and starts getting angry at the leader. No, he’s the only one who can get angry.

A person on the 5th day of the 1st lunar month.

It was Bukgae Chui Jie Lun, the leader of the open world.

“First, sit down. Why are you in such a hurry when we just met?”

Hyun-Cheong smiled happily as he guided them to their seats, even though he was glad to have such a friend.

On the other hand, Chui Jie Lun felt even more irritated by her indecisive appearance.

I wonder what kind of mood I was in when I came running all the way to Yeomnal. I thought I was going to burst.

Ttorr.

But I didn’t know that speed and just followed the car and sat down.

“Listen.”

“Okay!”

It just makes me even angrier. Bukgae turns his head around. It means he’s been stabbed hard. Hyuncheong raised the corners of his mouth at this.

Even within the Shinju Five Elements Society, Qu Jie Lun and Zhuge Shang were special to him.

There was a sense of awkwardness between the Seogeom Yeojungak and the Jeilgeom because the competition for the title had been fierce since the days of the late Jisoo.

Shin Seung was hard to get close to because he was a tough guy to everyone and didn’t socialize with.

On the other hand, the three of them liked drinking together and had a strong sense of justice, so they were best friends who had bonded early on.

But the fact that he came to me so angry… … .

‘I guess you went there and apologized again.’

It was obvious. The leaders went to the poor Bukgae to appeal to him because he did not change his mind about resigning.

“Why on earth did you make that decision?! At least give me an excuse.”

A deep sigh escaped Hyuncheong’s mouth.

I’ve heard this question asked hundreds of times, but I’ve never really answered it.

If it were anyone else, I would have kicked them out right away without saying anything.

but.

“Let me ask you one thing. Did you come here to stop me or to listen to my story?”

“Hey! How can someone like you, who came all the way to this remote place, listen to what I say?”

All you need to know is the reason. The prefect reluctantly nodded and opened his mouth as if looking at a distant mountain.

“… … I think I’m tired now.”

The North Dog swallowed the sound.

Even if it was me or Zhuge Liang, the leader, Seogeom, and Shinseung who avoided the mortal curse of aging.

If we really want to be specific, we are in a position where we are waiting for a place in the heavenly world to open up.

So it’s definitely not the case that the body is tired.

“Is it because of what happened that day?”

Hyun-cheong’s eyes flinched at the bold remark.
