The reason Cheonhwa went there wasn’t just because it seemed fun or because Haomen asked her to.
Because there were a few more things written in the letter that Mayeryeong hurriedly sent that would catch his attention.
‘The King of Fighters… … ‘
First of all, the king of fighting.
He was a member of the Samjeowangsamgui and a descendant of the one-man succession sect called Tuwangmun, which was not affiliated with a large sect. He was not as outstanding in martial arts as those who shared his name.
The evaluation of Towang was that, if we only look at the level of martial arts, there are many other masters who are better than him even though they are not on that list.
However, the reason he was able to receive the title of King was because he was also called Shintu.
He is the heir to the name of Shinto, known for being able to steal anything in the world if he puts his mind to it.
There are stories that he stole the empress’s underwear, stories that he stole the Shaolin Great Seal, and stories that he stole the blood essence of the blood demon during the Blood Demon Rebellion, thereby lowering his overwhelming martial arts skills to a level that the martial arts world could compete with. He is such a mysterious and fearsome figure.
Moreover, the name was not something that was attached to an individual and disappeared, but something that was passed down.
Since the title of Shinto was passed down through generations according to the principle of one-man succession, few people even knew whether he was a man or a woman, old or young, and this mystery put him in the position of the King of Fighters, even though he himself preferred to be called Shinto.
It was known that Wuwei was weak, but if he tried to use his elusiveness and stealth for assassination, there wouldn’t be many who could deal with him.
That’s why he was secretly in competition with Salgwi, who similarly called himself the king of assassins, but in the atmosphere of the martial arts world where assassins are looked down on and rejected, he, who is actually the pinnacle of assassins, was given the nickname of Gui instead of King and was classified as one of the three ghosts.
He was at the center of this incident.
It was Tuwang who found someone’s hidden grave with a map.
‘You said you stole the Great Seal.’
And the king of the two had a history of stealing the Great Ring.
It was paid as a deposit to the Blood Palace Sect for killing Cheonhwa.
This means that there is a high probability that the king was involved in that incident in some way.
Whether sold, stolen, or held in hand.
If he could figure out that link, he’d be one step closer to finding out who they were, and if he wasn’t a collector of the world’s rarest treasures, he might even know the whereabouts of the things he seeks.
Maybe you already have it collected.
‘He also said that there were enough treasures in his warehouse to buy several entire castles.’
Even if we could catch him and rob him, that wouldn’t be so bad.
Although no one has actually seen it, it is said that treasures that could buy the world are sleeping in Shinto’s warehouse.
“I was wondering what this old man was doing, and here he is.”
That alone was enough reason to come here to find the King, but there was other information that caught my eye.
Wire mesh margin.
It was a story about Margin, who had briefly separated after the martial arts competition ended.
The one who has the Jangbodo is the king of tug-of-war.
If it were the original King of Fighters, he would have secretly found the places marked on the map and stolen everything, so it would be normal for those places not to be known.
But the reason the location on the Jangbodo map he found was revealed was also related to the margin.
According to the information written by Mayeryeong, the location was revealed when Tougwi and Majin, who were chasing Towang, clashed and noticed the existence of Jang Bodo.
“It’s called a tug-of-war.”
A fight.
He was also a member of the Three Kings and Three Ghosts.
Unlike Towang (偸王), who was known as one of the Three Kings and Three Ghosts with his mysterious and mysterious magic and stealth skills, Toogwi (鬪鬼) was someone who took his place with pure force.
Because, as the name suggests, he was a fighting ghost.
He was a man who only pursued strength and would rush in regardless of status, distribution, or martial arts level if he was strong. In the end, he defeated his opponents, so many people were reluctant to confront him?
Because of that, he chased after the king of fighting, aiming for Jang Bo-do, where the secret of martial arts that would make the world go round was sleeping.
Because what he was after was not just strength, but pure strength.
If we were to judge only by merit, it would have been natural to value Toogwi higher than Towang, so it seems that Towang chose to run away rather than fight Toogwi who was chasing him.
“That’s pretty grand.”
That’s why the two rarely clashed, but the reason it was possible was none other than the iron lion margin.
Although not as much as Tougwi, Margin was also once a person who engaged in rough and tumble fighting to the point of being crazy about fighting.
Moreover, he was discovering new possibilities for the development of the Iron Man Invincible Sword through his encounter with Cheonhwa, and was pushing himself to his limits again, so he challenged Tougwi to a fight.
Even though he knew that there was a considerable gap between him, who was only a hundred-time master of Sapa, and the demon who belonged to the Three Kings and Three Ghosts.
In this way, Majin forgot his fear of defeat and death and challenged Togwi to battle, and in the aftermath of the clash between Majin and Togwi, the formation that had been hiding the tomb collapsed, revealing its true nature to the world.
After that, the king of the fight escaped first, and the two who were chasing him disappeared, as did the demon who was chasing him again.
“At this point, I don’t think it’s a waste of time.”
The location is Hanam Province where they are located.
If it was near Cheonjungsan, it was a bit off the original path, but it wasn’t too far off.
That also piqued Cheonhwa’s interest.
Since such grand figures have already entered, if it were too far away, everything would have already been over by the time you arrived and you might have come up empty-handed, but now is the time to get a spoon in.
Moreover, it has been about ten days since it was revealed, but no one has escaped yet, and instead, more people are gathering.
Even if one of them escapes, there are so many people guarding the entrance that they cannot take anything out, so it is a situation no different from a temple of fortune.
Of course, since he didn’t think that they could stop him, Cheonhwa thought that it would buy him a lot of time rather than being dangerous.
At least so that we can confirm the face of the man called the Towang and subdue him.
“Eun-gong. We’ll be here soon.”
For that reason, Cheonhwa quickened her pace.
Although he didn’t necessarily use his new technique, he was able to quickly close the distance and reach the mountain that was the center of attention by using the tireless stamina of Mu-o and the strength that stretched out a few feet with each kick.
“Stop!”
The location written on the letter was approximate, but it wasn’t too difficult to find.
Since there were quite a few martial artists heading there, you could just chase after the ones that looked reasonable.
Since they also knew that it was impossible for them to monopolize everything anyway, they did not try to shake off or subdue Cheonhwa and his party in advance, and since many people had figured out their true identity through their behavior and composition, they did not try to make any rash moves.
“This is a restricted area! No one is allowed to enter!”
“How can you do that when there is no owner! Please let us in too!!”
The place we arrived at was already like the market floor.
A large number of drones had gathered from all over the place and were taking their places, and there was a scuffle between those who had just arrived and were trying to get in and those who were trying to stop them.
“If you really want to enter, reveal your identity and affiliation! But just know that if you take even one step further, you will be expelled from the ‘Maeng’!”
“A hawk, a hawk? What the… …!”
“This is what the Jeongcheon Alliance and the Heukdo Alliance agreed on! Many people have already been sacrificed due to their reckless greed. Those who are prepared to do so, regardless of which side they belong to, should come forward!”
But the squabble didn’t last long.
This is because most of the people blocking the road shouted and flinched.
The Jeongcheon Alliance and the Heukdo Alliance.
That was why the two alliances agreed to control this place.
It was something that had not even been mentioned in Mayeryeong’s letter, and it seemed like it had been decided and announced while they were here.
“Are they going to do it among themselves?”
There are very few places in the current martial arts world that are not affiliated with one of the two groups, so it was essentially like making it impossible for anyone to enter.
“Hey! They’re not coming in!”
“Explain how this happened!”
As evidenced by that, despite the threats, there were definitely people who gathered together and went inside.
Some people tried to pressure those who were blocking them by bringing up this point, but they did not panic or back down at all as if they already knew about this, and continued to shout.
“They are authorized personnel! Only experts permitted by the two alliances are allowed to enter this place!”
This means that there are only those who are permitted to enter.
Of course, they are the five great families of the Gupailbang and other prestigious families of similar caliber, as well as the major factions that have considerable influence among the Safa factions.
It was clear that they intended to do it among themselves, but ironically, those who confirmed their identity could not argue any further and backed down.
There are many complaints, but since we know their true identity, we cannot act rashly.
Because they can’t become experts like me.
It was an unwritten rule in the martial arts world that there was no separate owner for the chance, but they were trying to decide on an owner for the chance among themselves under the pretext of reducing sacrifices.
“Hmm, what should I do?”
Because of that, the people who had gathered around slowly looked around and dispersed again.
Since I came this far, I couldn’t give up easily, so I sat down nearby like everyone else.
I guess he’ll have to wait and see who comes out with the treasure.
If your opponent is weak or injured, you can just attack them without any hesitation.
Being kicked out of the clan is dangerous, and the danger of getting your hands on a treasure that you don’t deserve is obvious, but if there’s even a slight possibility of protecting and hiding it, then the martial artists will do anything.
Their way of thinking is that if they can attain enlightenment in the New World after living in seclusion for decades and then return to the martial arts world, then no matter what hardships they face, it will be worth it.
Even though the front was so empty, Cheonhwa was also unable to move rashly.
If I were alone, I would have either ignored them and gone in, or destroyed everything and gone forward.
But Bukgungyeon was there.
Her family, the Bukgung Sega, was currently affiliated with the Jeongcheon Alliance, and if they went in with her, they could be expelled from the Jeongcheon Alliance as they had threatened, or else they could suffer great disadvantages, so she hesitated a little.
“miss.”
At that moment, someone who recognized them approached them.
Cheonhwa’s expression also relaxed slightly as the pattern on the hem of his clothes was clear, indicating that he was a member of the Bukgung family.
If the Bukgung Sega sent someone, then if they were qualified to enter as a member of the Jeongcheon Alliance, things would be simple.
Cheonhwa, since he is a person who does not belong to any alliance and is the head of Cheonummun, their unreasonable threats did not work, and if Bukgungyeon also gains the qualifications to enter as a member of Bukgungsegae, the problem will be easily solved.
Of course, in that case, there may be a problem where you have to join them.
“Sir. It’s been a while.”
“I’m so glad to see you’re feeling well. I’d love to have a longer conversation with you, but… … the circumstances don’t allow for that. Please accept this.”
Bukgungyeon recognized the man and greeted him warmly. The man took note of her and took out a letter from his bosom.
However, it was a little suspicious that he was not looking at Cheonhwa’s eyes, but at the eyes of those blocking his way.
“This is… … .”
Because he felt that sense of alienation, Bukgungyeon quickly opened the letter.
And when she looked back at him with slightly surprised eyes, he nodded quietly as if he already knew the contents of the letter and answered her with a worried look.
“The lord of the house said he was sorry. He said that the family was not strong enough to properly protect the young lady.”
“No. It’s enough that you trust me. It’s all because of me too.”
The contents of that letter were quite shocking.
She was temporarily expelled from Bukgung Sega.
As she had suggested and promised to Cheonhwa herself, she made it known that she would treat her as Cheonhwa’s concubine, not as the daughter of the Bukgung family, for one year.
It was not something I was telling her alone, but something I was publishing to the world.
Sending a force here and protecting her from any storm would have been a method I wouldn’t have chosen if I had the power to do so, but for now, with my lack of power and influence, it was an inevitable choice and a big decision.
The moment she announces to the world that she has become the concubine of Cheonhwa, she will receive countless backbiting and stares.
It is clear that there are countless people who do not view the role of the sage as simply that of the sage.
Even though he knew that he would have to endure such speculation, accusations, and insults, Bukgung Se-ga made that choice, and it seems that he judged that it would in turn protect Bukgung Yeon.
That would mean that she values her will and life more than the family’s honor.
“Please tell my father that I’m sorry and thank you.”
Bukgungyeon’s eyes turned slightly red as he understood the meaning.
I expressed my sincere gratitude and looked back at Cheonhwa.
He handed over the letter and made his intentions clear once again.
“Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry about me anymore. Do as you wish. I will follow.”
“Hmm. Well, then.”
Cheonhwa, who accepted the meaning, did not hesitate any longer.
Instead of making grand statements, he just plucked the strings lightly.
Cheonumshinkong
Jinhyeon’s chapter
Full sound
He fired sound waves toward the 99 entrances that were revealed before him, and felt the sound moving away and dissipating.
“Over there.”
The moment Cheonhwa spoke words that no one could understand, Bukgungyeon quickly climbed onto Muoh’s back.
The moment he grabbed Cheonhwa’s waist, Muoh kicked the ground and flew up as if he was excited.
“No!”
Wheeze-
Kuung!!
He easily overcame the barriers of humanity that had blocked him and landed on the ground with his heavy body and tremendous strength.
“Cough! Cough!”
“What now… … !”
A huge cloud of dust rose with it.
Not only that, but the sitting Mu-o scratched his hind legs as if he was playing a prank, deliberately stirring up dust.
“let’s go!”
While everyone’s eyes were blocked, Moo-oh, who had been sharing thoughts with Cheon-hwa, moved forward like a waterfall toward one of the 99 entrances.
Even though he took steps with his heavy body, he left no traces behind, as if he were performing a strange ritual, and disappeared inside, leaving only an afterimage where he had been.
