The King of Fighters is dead!
The evil dragon has inherited everything from the king!
The evil dragon defeated two of the greatest martial arts masters at the same time!
The news of the appearance of Cheonhwa, who was thought to be dead, spread throughout the Central Plains in an instant.
Ordinary rumors spread slowly from village to village, city to city, castle to castle, by word of mouth, but important news worthy of being a topic of conversation spreads dozens of times faster through faster messengers, such as messengers.
This was especially true when they went through information groups such as Gaepoong or Haomen or when they held more important information that they could use.
They intentionally and directly reveal small pieces of information in order to sell or exploit more detailed information.
“It’s just a rumor… … It’s true that there will be fewer cases of small-timers getting involved. There are those who will have to taste it themselves to see if it’s shit or not before they admit it.”
The news of Cheonhwa’s return, or resurrection, was the same.
Because Haomen had made up his mind to spread the news, the news quickly reached every corner of the Central Plains.
At the same time, public opinion arose that Cheonhwa should be re-evaluated.
Of course, it was Haomen who led the action behind the scenes.
As Cheonhwa’s reputation increases, it will be difficult to treat him carelessly.
Because it would give the Jeongcheon Alliance and the Heukdo Alliance a justification to do so.
That is why at first, there was talk that Cheonhwa’s name should be placed in the empty spot among the three kings and three ghosts.
However, there were still many unproven aspects and the power was lacking.
The reason he was given the title of king without any special power was because of the special nature of the king. Normally, he could only receive the title if he had the power to support and enthrone the king.
Therefore, it was impossible to give the title of King to Cheonhwa, who had neither earned it through martial arts nor subdued him by force.
But at the same time, the heavenly flower has become too big to be given the nickname ‘Ryong’, which still means a late index.
Its power had already long surpassed that of the latter index, and its actions were as bold and strange as those of the absolute being, so there was no disagreement that it needed a new nickname and position that suited it.
That’s why the nobles started calling him by a special nickname instead of the king’s nickname.
“It’s a bit of a shame. You could have earned the nickname of the Demon King.”
devil.
It was the moment when the Three Kings and Three Ghosts changed into the Three Kings and Three Ghosts.
Even though the incident with the thief was not known, that was enough.
In the first place, the nickname Gui was not given based on pure force, but was given to those with unique backgrounds and characteristics, just like the King of Fighters.
In that case, since the King of Two is dead, it would be right for the King of Five to also change into the King of Four.
But it stayed the same.
The retention of the name of the Five Kings was not due to a disbelief in the death of the Two Kings, but rather the expectation that someone would take his place.
There were quite a few people who were not included in the list of the Three Kings, the Five Kings, or the Four Ghosts, but were always waiting to take their place.
Among them, there were some characters whose names should have been included, or whose names could have been changed immediately, so the result was a reflection of the expectation to find new characters rather than changing the Five Kings to the Four Kings.
However, it has not been decided who will receive the new royal nickname.
There were many opinions and arguments even among the nobles, and it was something that those who wanted to ascend to the throne had to prove themselves.
Whether it’s Sapha or Jeongpa.
“I don’t care. Whether it’s me or the king. If it’s an evil spirit, then it’s another matter.”
So, if Cheonhwa showed proper power, he could aim for the throne again.
Even though he may lack power, if he is strong enough to defeat others on his own, he will be evaluated as having no weaknesses.
If he wanted, Haomen could become Cheonhwa’s supporter.
But naturally, Cheonhwa wasn’t very interested in nicknames that sounded like puns.
Whether it was a dragon, a king, or a goddess, in the end, they were all names that could not properly express their power.
I don’t care if it’s called something like the only evil god above it. But if not, I don’t care what it’s called.
If someone attacks you, just knock them down.
It’s just meaningless, like being given a name, since it doesn’t suit my personality to move just to get that nickname or to be recognized by someone.
“Are you leaving now?”
That’s why I left Hao-mun to his own devices, such as wordplay and trivial public opinion formation, and focused on my own work.
In the Nanman Beast Palace, he examined everything that Mengpa had sent, and then classified only the few he needed and gave them a value.
I estimated the market price through Mayeryeong and added 70% to it to put up a price tag.
Even though he was humiliated and withdrew, he would not be able to avoid coming back after seeing this much of the spirit and inner strength.
So I added 70% instead of 50%.
Since they started the operation first, shouldn’t we respond in kind?
No matter what excuses you may make, it was the seller who decided the price.
Therefore, Cheonhwa broke the agreement that he would add 30% to the basic price and 50% if he could not bring what he wanted, and set the price at 50% and 70% higher than the market price respectively.
Considering the enormous value of each of them, even 10% would be an amount that would be difficult for the average person to imagine, but the reason for raising the price so boldly is simple.
‘So, you’re not going to buy it?’
From their perspective, they cannot help but buy this, for they value even a single root of the herb.
Although they are gathering all kinds of things to increase internal energy, such as elixirs, herbs, and internal medicine from all over the Central Plains, their quantity and effectiveness are woefully inadequate.
So, to this extent, it would be almost like a monopoly supply.
In the case of large sects, they may create their own spiritual charters, but they will never share them with everyone.
“I intend to do that. I should go and make them pay properly.”
“Please… … take care of them. They must be just like a temple of fortune. I wish I could move together to help, but I feel sorry that I can only support them with words.”
“No. I appreciate you even taking the time to look at this place. And even if you have the chance, it would be better to go alone. If anything happens, everything will fall apart.”
It was truly an outrageous statement.
Even if Cheonma, the leader of the Demonic Cult, were present, it was questionable whether he would be able to say something like that.
The Black Alliance and the Jeongcheon Alliance, which he declared he would visit, are the two places where the greatest power in the current martial arts world is concentrated.
It was a veritable battlefield where not only was the force enormous, but the strongest fighters in the martial arts world had gathered, so Cheonhwa’s words meant that he could turn the world into his enemy at any time.
It was something that was so absurd that it was ridiculous, and if it was sincere, it should have been stopped at all costs, but Mayeryeong didn’t do that.
Because he knows that no matter what he says, he can’t stop Cheonhwa.
Also, because I had a vague intuition that it might be possible if it were Cheonhwa.
“We wish you good luck. If you need our help, please come to us anytime.”
That’s why, even after reading Cheonhwa’s intentions, he had no intention of breaking off his cooperative relationship with him.
It may be because Haomun is not welcomed by either Jeongcheonmyeong or Heukdomyeong, but if I were the Haomun leader, I would want to gamble on him because I felt a mysterious power from him.
That’s why I put all my effort into helping him.
Not only did she cheer him on on his journey, but she also personally took care of and managed everything he needed under her own authority, and she took the initiative to make sure he didn’t create anything that would be bothersome to him.
For example, news about Margin and Bukgungyeon.
Knowing that Cheonhwa was considering waiting for a while in case they heard news of Cheonhwa and gathered here again, he first located their location and informed them of Cheonhwa’s news.
According to their decision, they gave instructions to use Haomen’s information power to relay or directly guide Cheonhwa’s current location, and conversely, they gave instructions to immediately inform Cheonhwa of what they said or their situation.
In addition, he devoted all his efforts to finding the location of materials for making the divine spirits of the Heavenly Sound Gate that Cheonhwa had requested.
The returned Cheonhwa gave a revised list, saying that some of them were no longer needed, so they could focus their scattered efforts even more.
Perhaps it wouldn’t take long for the information network, which had been idle due to the opening of the Jeongcheon Alliance and the Heukcheon Bigak of the Heukdo Alliance, to be activated to the maximum and to search through all the information, so that at least some of their whereabouts could be known.
She even personally obtained permission from Hao Wenzhou.
“What are you talking about? See you next time!”
So Cheonhwa left the top of the black plate again.
If they were to attack the upper ranks again, I would turn around and come back, but that wouldn’t happen, and if there was a chance, I would chase after them and destroy their base, so it seemed like it would be quite some time before I would come back.
‘The atmosphere has changed again.’
After leaving the top of the black panther, Cheonhwa headed straight towards her destination.
The first target is the headquarters of the Black Alliance located in Honam.
There’s really no particular reason. Maybe it’s because the route is convenient and the distance is close?
Since I had to visit both Jeongcheonmaeng and Heukdomaeng anyway, and was planning to visit Jangjiangsurochae as well, a good route would be to go from Honam to Hubei and then to Shaanxi.
Honam and Seomse.
The headquarters of the Black Demon Alliance and the Jeongcheon Alliance were established there. As a result, some people were already dividing the central plains into South Murim and North Murim.
When Honam and Hubei were divided along the border, there were many political forces in the north, such as the Gupailbang Odaesega, and that is why the Jeongcheon Alliance also established itself there.
It’s not that there are no political factions in the South, but at least there are no places that boast overwhelming power and authority like the Gupaeilbang or Odaesega.
Thanks to this, the structure of the political and social factions, which seemed difficult to separate, was surprisingly easily organized.
The sects belonging to the political faction located in the south were at best mid-level, so they could not even dream of expanding their power, and they focused all their efforts on maintaining it, or even went so far as to admit early on that their faction would enter a dark or mature period and enter a closed sect.
What about the smaller and weaker sects?
Even that was difficult to attempt, so they threw away their pride and moved to the black sea, abandoned their old bases, slowly withered away, or tried to buy time and find a breakthrough by closing down, going into hiding, not performing military duties, joining the military, and searching for a chance.
In fact, such phenomena were occurring similarly not only in the political faction but also in the opposition faction, but the political faction was more affected and suffered a weakening and reduction in power.
As there were many places that had been quietly growing and receiving massive support through the method of being a disciple of the common people, many felt betrayed or disappointed when they were unable to help during a crisis.
The power itself may have disappeared.
That’s why the Nammurim, where Sapa was in power and the Black Alliance was established, was bound to be even more chaotic.
That was also why there were so many people following Cheonhwa, who started to move without being able to hide his small amount of internal energy and presence.
Even if they had no intention of doing anything to him, they would be happy if they could just follow him to one of the King’s hideouts or get a piece of whatever he had left behind after he swept it all away.
But that was a naive thought that could be made without knowing Cheonhwa. Of course, Cheonhwa was not a great man who would leave behind even a single crumb of silver.
‘Wait a minute… … Now that I think about it, it could be useful.’
Shaking them off, making them so they wouldn’t even dare to follow him, was easier for Cheonhwa than turning over his hand, but Cheonhwa hesitated for a moment before changing his mind.
Since we’ve gathered all this information, wouldn’t it be right to use it?
Cheonhwa smiled sinisterly without anyone knowing, as she thought of a way to use them.
Still leisurely, without anyone noticing, he sat on the roof of the carriage and played the flute, and many unmanned people began to follow him, secretly and as if possessed, in their own way.
Not knowing that what lay ahead might be hell.
