The word contradiction was the most appropriate way to express Wooho Law’s true feelings.

I want to avenge my uncle by killing Dang Mu-jin, but at the same time, I don’t want to face Dang Mu-jin.

I want to sweep away the Tang family right now, but I don’t have the confidence to go into the Tang family and come out alive again.

Not only the law of friendship, but also the reactions of other unmanned people who entered the Tang family and came out alive were similar. Fear, reluctance. The fighting spirit of the Demonic Cult unmanned people fell to the ground.

If they had faced an overwhelmingly powerful master and half of them had been killed by swords, their morale would not have been so low. In that case, some might have been presumptuous and burned with a sense of victory, while others might have hoped for enlightenment that could only be gained in a battle, or for honor gained through bravery.

But the poison is different.

Poison is neither an object of triumph nor does it give enlightenment.

Not only is it impossible to show courage when facing poison, but it is also not honorable to fall down and tremble while poisoned.

And on top of that, there was the fear of the unknown.

The dead died without knowing why they died, but the survivors also did not know why they survived.

‘Carelessness? Mercy? Or just a prank? Why on earth did you spare my life?’

I can’t figure out anything.

In the end, the Demonic Cult’s warriors tacitly gave up on conquering the Tang family.

The pain of defeat was too bitter to just think of it as a single defeat and move on.

But there was one person who didn’t give up completely: Woo Ho-beop Jo Eul-hyeon.

‘Since I can’t enter the Danggajang, I can’t subdue the Danggajangju Dangmujin. But is it right to waste time like this?’

Jo Eul-hyeon did not give up and thought about it again and again.

There is no better way to organize your thoughts than taking a walk. Jo Eul-Hyeon walked the streets of Seongdo in simple clothes, lost in thought, and listened to people’s stories.

Meanwhile, Jo Eul-hyeon heard a very interesting story on the street.

“Huh? The Tang family left the city?”

“Yeah. These days, there are some martial artists wandering around the castle. I was worried that something bad might happen, so I sent my family out to other places.”

“Ugh···.”

“You too, be careful. Don’t wander around in secluded places and run into any martial artists…”

Luckily, he got a big clue. Jo Eul-hyeon asked the old man who had listened to his story one more question.

“Do you know by any chance where the Tang family went?”

“Well, I don’t know either.”

Now that you’ve discovered the possibility, there’s no need to rush.

Jo Eul-hyeon went around the city and gathered information about the Danggajang. After three days, Jo Eul-hyeon got the information he wanted.

“Oh my. That young man is the nephew of that congressman, Chusam?”

“Yes. I came all the way to Seongdo to find my uncle who taught me medicine, but he wasn’t there. No one told me where he went, and I couldn’t enter the Danggajang…”

“I heard that Chusam also went to Dongjeongho with his family. It hasn’t been long since he left… If we follow him diligently, we might be able to meet him before he reaches Dongjeongho.”

The law of friendship was secretly delighted and went straight to find Gwangyeomra and told him about his plan.

“If you can’t enter the party headquarters, you can take the party headquarters’ family members hostage!”

*

I was shocked when I heard the story of the law of friendship called Gwangyeom.

‘You seemed afraid of the head of the family, but you still haven’t given up? I thought we could just get through this…’

Since this was something that Gwangyeomra did not want, Gwangyeomra secretly persuaded the friendly law.

“No matter how much you hate the head of the family, isn’t it a bit difficult to target Gasol?”

“Troublesome? Whether it’s the Jeongma War or the Jeongsa War, you know how common it is for blood relatives to die.”

“I know, but… you must not abandon the pride of a martial artist.”

“Elder Gwangyeomra. You know why I joined the Demonic Cult. It started when the head of the Tang family killed my uncle. I am qualified to kill the head of the Tang family.”

Unlike other Demonic Cult members who committed a crime and escaped to the Demonic Cult, Woo Ho-beop had never committed a crime of any note.

When his uncle Jo Gwan died and the family’s creative methods were largely lost, instead of accepting the expected downfall, he sought out the Demonic Cult and asked for teachings.

Gwangyeomra said as if he was angry.

“Where does one have the right to kill Gasol? Besides, your uncle was a martial artist.”

“Aren’t half of the family members of a martial artist also martial artists? Furthermore, I heard that the two wives of the Tang patriarch have also learned martial arts, albeit a little.”

Gwangyeomra shook his head.

“Oh my, if that’s the level of a martial artist, then how many people in the world are not martial artists?”

“I heard that the bloodthirsty traveler followed you. That must mean that the head of the family also thought that his family was worthy of attack. So you can attack him.”

The strange logic that since the opponent has prepared, it is okay to attack. Gwangyeomra tried to refute that flimsy argument, but kept his mouth shut. He was worried that it would seem like he was blatantly taking the side of the party leader.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the story of the Friendship Act is not over yet.

“Also, as you know, the leader of the Tang family is not a normal warrior. He is a writer who fights with sorcery, not martial arts. Rather than kneeling before the wicked and enduring the humiliation, it is right to punish the leader of the Tang family even if it means using a slightly deviant method.”

The friendly law called Gwangyeom was burdensome.

Isn’t it difficult to clearly explain the current situation and control it?

It was also a problem that the Friendship Law was trusted by the leader. If you said one wrong word here, you could be suspected by not only the Friendship Law but also the leader.

That is why I brought up the fundamental story of Gwangyeomra.

“What the leader instructed us to do was to root out the Sachon Province sect and take control of the entire Sachon Province. Our current situation may feel a bit frustrating, but if you look closely, we have achieved quite a bit.”

“What do you mean?”

“We have already wiped out the Cheongseongpa and Amipa, and driven the remnants into the Tang family. It would be foolish to abandon everything we have achieved so far and move to Dongting Lake to capture the Tang family.”

“I will take only a few people. If that doesn’t work, I will go alone. I will capture the family of the head of the party and make the head of the party kneel.”

The law of friendship spoke like this and looked at Gwangyeomra with eyes filled with determination.

“···.”

There is no good reason to block the friendly law.

Moreover, I was worried that if we let the friendly law continue to be talked about like this, even the pure left-wing law would be tainted by the friendly law.

The Left Guardian Law did not forget the favor of Dang Mu-jin, so he did not attack the Dang Family Leader rashly, but only assisted Gwangyeom-ra. It should be seen that he is on the side of the leader, not Dang Mu-jin.

If the time comes for the Left Guardian to choose between the Party Leader and the Leader, he will choose the Leader without hesitation.

Gwangyeomra thought about it like that and then was startled.

‘No… What am I thinking? I’m not on Dangmujin’s side either.’

I tried to make a rope to prepare for an emergency, but the roles were almost reversed. In the end, Gwangyeomra was unable to stop the friendly law and nodded slightly.

“···Okay. Go. Take care.”

“Yes. I’ll just pick a few of my men and go.”

The friendly law confidently turned and walked away.

Gwangyeomra was lost in thought as he watched the back of the friendly law.

Can the Friendship Act really catch the party leader?

‘···It is possible. The achievement of the Friendship Law is not far behind that of the Left Friendship Law. On the other hand, I heard that the achievement of the Blood Friendship Law stopped at the beginning of the peak, so the probability of being able to stop the Friendship Law is low.’

The Danggajeo family members will not be able to anticipate that the Friendly Law will be chasing them, so they will not be able to hide from the Friendly Law. Now that this has happened, it is only a matter of time before the Danggajeo family members are caught by the Friendly Law and returned.

If Gasol is caught, will Dang Mu-jin readily give up his head?

I couldn’t tell. But if I had to think about it, I thought it was more likely not to be true. After all, people tend to value their own lives the most.

So who will be held responsible for the surviving party leaders?

‘I don’t think I can avoid responsibility either.’

Besides, it was a shame to blow up the connections I had worked so hard to build like this.

‘I can’t let go of the rope I’ve finally caught.’

Just then, a suitable method occurred to me.

A way to avoid Dang Mu-jin’s wrath without letting Woo Ho-beop know that you are colluding with him.

The idea of ​​lightening was immediately put into action.

*

Dang Mu-jin stayed inside the Dang family, preparing for a possible second attack by the Demonic Cult warriors.

However, the Demonic Cult warriors showed no sign of attacking.

The tension in the expressions of the riot police also faded.

I relaxed because I thought the Demonic Cult members wouldn’t invade, and even if they did, I relaxed because I thought Dangmujin would repel them with his amazing skills.

The gazes of the political party leaders looking at the opposition party’s leader were filled with trust and faith.

‘If you have the right person, anything will work out.’

One night, after several days of such subtle peace, a rather loud spring rain fell in the city.

Dang Mu-jin listened to the sound of unseasonable spring rain, and then he felt a faint presence near the Dang family.

It is rare for an author to kill the sound and roam the streets of the city at night, even around the Danggajang area.

‘···Namgung Myung?’

Dang Mujin went outside and headed towards the place where he felt a presence. There, instead of Namgung Myung, was Gwangyeomra, drenched in rain. Dang Mujin was not particularly nervous.

“Gwangyeomra. Why are you hanging around the Danggajang area?”

Then, Gwangyeomra grumbled while shaking off the raindrops.

“You’re dull. I waited for you near the Danggajang yesterday and the night before.”

“You waited for me? Why?”

“Let’s cut to the chase. I heard that your family took refuge in Dongjeongho. Is that true?”

Dang Mu-jin’s eyes became sharp.

“How do you know that?”

“I didn’t find out, that friendly law guy found out while he was shooting around the saints. Shouldn’t you have kept your mouths shut a bit?”

Dang Mu-jin felt as if he had been hit in the back of the head.

···Were you complacent?

No. It wasn’t a matter of complacency. How could we possibly control the church when dozens of people were leaving in droves?

Kwangyeomra clicked his tongue.

“Tsk. Anyway, the friendly law left, saying it would take your family hostage. I came here to tell you that.”

Kwangyeomra coolly pushed forward with the plan for the Friendship Act.

Since I wasn’t even close to the law of friendship, I didn’t feel any pangs of conscience.

“When did you leave?”

“The day before yesterday. I’ve been waiting to see you since the day the Friendship Act disappeared. Anyway, I did everything I could, so you figure out the rest.”

“···I get it.”

The moment Dang Mu-jin said that and was about to return to the Danggajang, Gwangyeom-ra called out to Dang Mu-jin.

“Hey. Is that the end?”

“Why again?”

“Inma. Shouldn’t you at least say thank you?”

I couldn’t remember it right away because I was so busy, but every word of Gwangyeomra’s story was correct.

Didn’t Gwangyeom betray the Demonic Cult he had been a part of for a long time for Dang Mujin? He even went as far as waiting for Dang Mujin like a rat soaking wet from the rain.

The party leader bowed politely.

“···Thank you. I will repay you someday.”

“Okay. Go back quickly.”

After finishing his story, Gwangyeomra quietly left the place, fearing being caught by the other demonic cult members.

Dang Mu-jin thought as he returned to the party hall.

‘Considering the circumstances, it seems that the story of the Light Flame is not a lie. Even if it is a lie, it is a subject that cannot be helped but be deceived.’

‘Well, there’s no way the Demonic Cult members would back down so easily. It’s realistic to think they’re plotting something else.’

Now, what Dangmujin has to do is to suppress the friendly forces heading to Dongjeongho.

So who should go to Dongjeongho?

Thinking rationally, Dang Mu-jin should have remained in the Dang family. Dang Mu-jin was the eldest in the Dang family, and Dok-gong was at his most powerful when he was able to hold on to one position.

The party staff that stays in the party hall can literally perform the roles of dozens of people.

‘Then should I send Hong Geol-gae or Wi Jin-nan-hyang?’

Although Honggeolgae has good compatibility with the Friendship Law, it doesn’t seem like Honggeolgae will be able to stop the Friendship Law in a situation where many people are entangled and fighting.

It seemed like it might be possible to go to Weijinanhyang, but it wasn’t certain.

Dang Mu-jin thought for a moment and then shook his head.

‘No. This is a problem I have to address.’

Ultimately, in moments like these, you have no choice but to step forward yourself.

Dang Mu-jin is the eldest and head of the Dang family.

It makes no sense to just sit quietly in the waiting room and wait for the family members to return safely.

Dang Mu-jin made up his mind.

‘Move directly.’

After Dang Mu-jin packed the necessary items, he told Gong Ling-ja, Hyang Baek-sa-tae, and Wi Jin-nan-hyang the whole story.

The situation between the prince and the prince’s family became unstable.

It was clear to anyone that the greatest force protecting the party was the party leader.

However, it was not easy to stop the party leaders.

Nowadays, there are almost no people in the Tang family who can be called the head of the Tang family.

Isn’t it impossible to ask someone to protect the Cheongseongpa and Amipa while abandoning their family and staying in the Danggajang without a family?

Finally, Wei Zhennanxiang opened her mouth.

“Have a nice trip.”

Dang Mu-jin asked back.

“Is that okay?

“Anyway, if you stay at Danggajang, you’ll be anxious and won’t be able to sleep. But I can’t tell you to take your time. Hurry up and go.”

Anyway, my mind was half-made up.

Dang Mu-jin did not hesitate, but bowed to Wei Zhennanxiang and the two elders and went out.

The rain became a little heavier. Dang Mu-jin came out wearing a tightly woven bamboo hat and a straw hat.

And then he found Inyoung standing next to the main gate of the Tang family.

Hong Geol-gae, soaked in rain, spoke to Dang Mu-jin.

“let’s go.”

“Wouldn’t it be better for you to stay in the party?”

“Speak sense. Haven’t you seen me pushing the friendly law?”

“I had to see it. But the owner of the house···”

“While you were packing the do-rongi and the bamboo sticks, I spoke to Elder Wijinanhyang. Don’t worry and go.”

When Hong Geol-gae said he would go with me, my heart instantly felt at ease.

Dang Mu-jin gained confidence. The confidence that nothing would happen.

But Dang Mu-jin became worried in a different direction.

“But if you leave here, people won’t look kindly on you.”

Hong Geul-gae chuckled.

“There’s no opening here, so there’s no reason to feel bad about the ark leaving. Besides, if you’re going to get cursed at, is it the Cheonryeong dog Hong-gyeon who gets cursed at or the Gyucho dog Hong-ju-san?”

Dang Mu-jin also laughed. It was Hong Geul-gae’s typical answer, which seemed responsible but also somewhat irresponsible.

“Okay. Let’s go quickly.”

Dang Mu-jin and Hong Geol-gae passed the main gate of the Dang family and walked out into the rain.

The raindrops in the city grew heavier and heavier, until finally only the sound of the rain could be heard.
