#Public Recruitment (2)

One of the men most likely to become the next cult leader.

He came to Ilsogung.

That too, leading the power.

“Should I break down the door?”

The skinny man who looks like a poisonous snake right behind him is Jo Yang-ak, the assistant.

“Okay. There it is.”

Muhan smiled brightly and nodded forward.

Then, squeak!

The door to the Ilsogung Palace opened and the emotionless, black-haired Salgwi poured out like ink.

And through the path they had made, a man with a noble and flawless appearance like a black rooster walks out.

Grand Duke Cheonmugi. That’s it.

Although it was a meeting between brothers, it was completely different from the meeting between Meng Hui and Mao.

A murderous aura pours out from both sides, as if a dragon and a tiger have met.

After a while, the two princes stood facing each other at the barrier that had been naturally created between them.

The aides stood behind the princes on their right, glaring at each other so that they could come out at any moment.

It was a moment of imminent danger. The tension was running high at that time.

The mouths of the two princes opened.

“If you came here because you wanted to see me, then don’t be so shy and come inside. You’re not so mean as to kick out your brother who came in person.”

“Why would I do that when you would have crawled out on your own if I called you? Besides, I don’t want to set foot in that gloomy and stuffy corner of the house.”

“You must have been impatient. But even so, don’t show it on the surface like you did now. The other person will see this as a weakness and make fun of you.”

“You should go and scold the third or youngest. It looks like he got really screwed this time. It’s really funny how you look like your older brother.”

“Did you see that?”

“Uh. Why? Are you angry? Then try to stick to me.”

Shh …

It was a truly thrilling fight. The air around them was already so sharp that it seemed as if even the fallen leaves would be torn apart, and both sides were wielding weapons in their hands.

At this level, even if just a single coin falls between them, it would be enough to cause a knife attack.

The Duke of Muhan quickly lost his spirit at the sight of the Grand Duke’s infinitely calm appearance.

“Tch. Anyway, I told you, it’s not fun at all.”

He waves his hand back. He tells them to step back and keep the rats out so they can talk.

Then, the Baekgoedan, including the assistant, formed a semicircle at a distance.

“Did you see that? Get out.”

Picking a fight with passing church members is a bonus.

“Step back.”

Cheonmu-gi also watched this and ordered the Ghost Army to return. Then, Heukhwa-wi climbed up onto the wall at once and stood guard with his sword drawn.

Unlike the rough and tumble Baekgwaedan, he appears dignified and majestic.

Of course, from Infinity’s perspective, it’s just a piece of crappy military equipment.

“It’s my house, you idiot.”

“Tell me why you came.”

“Why are you asking when you know? What are you going to do? There’s chaos everywhere.”

Infinity frowns. The reason he came was obvious. The rooms attached all over Cheonsan were the cause.

“A seal of a hundred-year-old man? Isn’t your father’s thinking strange? How can he give that to the youngest? And that bastard has no pride and gives it to the third son? This is just bean powder. Isn’t it?”

“Watch what you say.”

“Did I say something wrong? It’s ridiculous that you took in the youngest child who had no will since long ago, and it’s outrageous that you only favored the third child. Now, are you going to fight openly or what?”

“I will pretend not to have heard of your disloyalty to Father. If you speak one more time, you better be prepared.”

“I know you’re playing the filial piety game while feeling good inside, so what are you going to do now?”

The two of them are originally the most competitive people. They are not on good terms with anyone. However, when the three princesses get involved, things change.

Because there was an implicit agreement that she should clean up first and then the two of them would fight it out.

“You know that the Gwangryongdang is already in turmoil these days because of that bastard, Narak. If you hesitate, you’ll quickly fill up a hundred people. You get that?”

“That’s right, you managed it well, didn’t you? You were born with nothing, so you don’t really have anything to show for it other than the support of the Oryongdang.”

“Is this my fault? When I told you to catch the youngest ones first, you stopped me by saying things like they were the three major families, but aren’t you the one who created this mess?”

“Hmm… … .”

Cheonmugi spat shallowly. It wasn’t a mistake.

The reason he didn’t touch Mao, Meng Hui, or Meng Yuanyuan in the first place was because he had the support of the elders, so he didn’t feel the need to touch Maga and Meng Ga and get embarrassed.

“Okay, then let’s do it this way.”

Cheonmu-gi nodded at the end of his long sword and made a friendly suggestion.

“I will convey my intention to the presbytery, call each of the major leaders separately, and warn them not to attend the recruitment.”

“Will that do?”

“Hmm… … But just in case, how about you go to Samso Palace and send Tyler back if there are any people who come?”

Is that what you wanted to say? Muhanseong replied with a look of disbelief.

“You want me to be the one getting cursed at while everyone is watching?”

“But isn’t it not good for your personality to just sit still and complain?”

Ha. Infinity grinned, showing its teeth. Then, lifting its lion head, it spoke.

“But if I just leave, it’ll be so funny. I’m not stupid. Right?”

You’re not saying you won’t go. Well, that’s what you should do.

Cheonmugi raised the corners of his lips slightly and asked the main point.

“What do you want?”

The mouth of infinity sticks out.

“I heard. If you’re a current member of Oryongdang, you get a scholarship just for participating. If I’m going to appease the kids and send them back, I need to give them something, right? I’m not the kind of person who gets support from a wealthy family like some.”

“So give me the money? Are you a thief?”

“It’s only natural that you have to pay a price if you want to employ a servant. If you want to employ someone like me, you’d have to raid at least one granary. Hand over one of the merchants run by Cheon-ga.”

Cheonmugi’s eyes grew cold. His expression was clearly the same as before, but his eyes looked different. That’s because he thought it was a proposal that didn’t make sense.

one.

“Hmm.”

Cheonmugi quickly gritted his teeth and spat with an indifferent expression. Then he quickly nodded and readily accepted it.

“As an older brother, there is no reason not to take care of my younger brother who is lacking.”

Cheonmugi gave in. Instead, it was Muhanseong who was embarrassed.

‘What the heck? You’re allowing this so easily? This kid. You must have been really impatient.’

If that weren’t the case, there’s no way a proposal made out of the blue would be accepted so easily.

“However, if we pass over the upper level managed by Cheon Ga, the timing will be coincidental and it may seem a bit odd… … I will ask my Ma Elder separately.”

“Magarden, Cheongarden. I understand. Do as you please. As the younger sibling, you have received an allowance, so you must do whatever your older brother tells you to do. Leave the Samso Palace to me. I won’t let even a single ant enter.”

Infinite’s good intentions were clearly revealed as he pounded his chest.

At this, Cheonmugi made a calm face and mocked him inwardly.

‘You’re really foolish. You, who have nothing, have risen to that position not because you were particularly outstanding. It’s because you never compromised with the older generation and went your own way. To foolish people, your simplicity and ignorance are sometimes disguised as tyranny.’

But he took Mark’s money and persecuted the youngest member of the family?

Then what will happen?

It would be a good prey for the nitpickers.

And for some, the facade of science and engineering will be stripped away, leaving only disappointment behind.

You don’t have to break it. Just making one is worth it.

“Please give my regards to the third one.”

“I don’t know if he’ll take it, but I’ll give it a try.”

Both people laugh at the same time. The deal is done.

Now, no matter what happens, the recruitment of the Samso Palace will never be successful.

“Oh, the youngest. If you just let it go this time, he’ll become a bad child.”

Infinity turned around and stopped dead in its tracks, grinning and saying:

“I’ll make sure to persuade you appropriately.”

What are you talking about? You’re talking nicely about catching the kid.

Infinity set out again. His destination was the Samsogung Palace in the Heavenly Realm.

I’ll probably be spending some quality time with my sister for a while.

and…….

“Tell all the lords to come to Ilsogung.”

“Jeonmyeong!”

Cheonmugi also returned to Jangwon.

With a winner’s smile on his lips.

‘Sahae-ryeong. Whatever you plan will not go as planned. Absolutely not.’

But there was one thing that even the Heavenly Weapon who was controlling the situation behind the scenes didn’t know…

This situation itself was ultimately planned by Jang Seo, and he was now happily jumping into it.

* * *

– Wolha Village Chilsogung.

Several days have passed since I returned to Chilsogung.

Jang-seo sat cross-legged and meditated for the first time in a long while, before the sun rose and the blue light was softly shining.

The air feels like morning dew outside the open window, a refreshing breeze blowing gently.

My mind feels at peace. It feels like even the wrinkles on my face are disappearing.

It was so satisfying that the saying, “Leaving home is hardship” came to mind.

In fact, it was the first time I had been able to meditate so comfortably since my meeting with Cheonma.

Because as soon as I got back, I was busy trying to weave together the Thousand Weapons.

Today was a rare day when I had some free time.

And Jang Seo-yeon secretly waited for this moment.

The reason was clear.

A natural fate that he never thought he would be able to change while he was alive.

This was because he had succeeded in blocking one of the nine holes in his danjeon.

‘Now that magic is no longer leaking out, it is safe to say that the risk of dying for no reason has completely disappeared.’

It was truly an incredible coincidence.

Who would have thought that the relationship that started when I entered Cheonmajeon by chance would bring about such a miracle?

Moreover.

‘There are still impurities in my blood, but I am definitely at the beginning of climax.’

This was the greatest achievement.

Breaking through the wall of first-classness that was thought to be impossible to overcome and reaching the peak.

How amazing is this?

Simply put, if the first-class was a warrior who was good at using a sword, then the pinnacle was the realm of monsters who could unleash powers beyond human power.

Depending on how you handle it, there is a world-shaking difference.

Up until now, things that were difficult to properly unfold because the body could not keep up even if the head understood them have become possible.

of course…….

‘You won’t be able to advance beyond the beginner level until you block more holes. Your internal energy won’t accumulate any further.’

One more thing I wanted here was greed. Even now, I barely managed to block it by receiving pure magic energy from Cheonma as if it were a miracle.

Moreover, since the energy of the Heavenly Horse only followed one path, it was impossible to split it into two and send it.

In short, it means that the battle against the old system is over. It means that there is no way to become stronger.

And this must have been the same thought for Cheonmado.

‘You have seen my limits. That is why I taught you the Heavenly Demonic Art even though you are not my official successor. After all, I am not a threat to the Demonic Cult.’
