“Hmm, you’ll do well, right? You’re both called kings and nobles.”
Cheonhwa, who had finished preparing to catch the demon cultists, left the green forest without waiting for the king.
It might not be a bad idea to just tune in and watch them grumble, but they had a long way to go.
The only good thing is that the route was not bad.
If you go all the way north to get to Seomseo, where the Jeongcheon Alliance’s headquarters is located, Bukgung Sega is also in Seomseo.
You can complete the two places you were aiming for in a row.
That said, there were many other places to check out as well.
Cheonhwa hurried his steps and was able to visit the headquarters of the Jeongcheon Alliance located in Xi’an.
Originally, he had planned to first stop by Bukgung Se-gae to check on Bukgung Yeon’s safety, but the reason he didn’t do that was because while he was on the move, Mayeryeong sent word that Bukgung Se-gae had successfully defended against the attack and that Bukgung Yeon was also safe.
“It’s impossible!”
“Huh?”
“It doesn’t matter if you are a demon, an evil king, or an evil emperor. However, you cannot meet the leader just by coming here and making a request without any agreement!”
However, problems arose right from the entrance.
The gatekeeper of the Jeongcheon Alliance cut off his request to meet the leader with a single stroke.
From his perspective, he was simply carrying out his assigned duties faithfully, and although his answer was based on principle, Cheonhwa could not help but be dissatisfied.
“Okay, then tell me the story.”
“Okay, I understand. However, that will also be delivered step by step according to internal procedures, so come back in about a month!”
“… … A month? Are you kidding me?”
Still, I asked him to step back and tell me the story, but that too was blocked.
It has been accepted to be exact, but if things go according to plan, it will take almost a month just to get the story across.
It was basically telling him not to meet her, but Cheonhwa, who was at a loss, looked at him.
Is it because he is a really strong person, or is there another intention?
I’m curious.
‘There’s something.’
And concluded:
This attitude and treatment towards yourself right now was not your own idea. That would be the case, no matter how much the principle is, there are exceptions.
This is especially true for those who are experts at the level of Cheonhwa and have made their name among the Three Kings and Five Kings.
Just by showing up, it would have been normal to report it to the higher-ups, and it wasn’t something that a mere gatekeeper could judge.
But you stubbornly stick to your principles?
No attempt to report to higher ups?
This means that it has already been talked about.
He couldn’t tell who was doing it or why, but he felt like he was being ordered to do it.
“That is the principle of blind faith. So if you have anything to say, say it and go back!”
It is quite possible to feel fear in front of a strong person like Cheonhwa, but there is bound to be a difference in the trembling when acting according to firm belief and will and when not.
“That’s right. I guess it’s safe to say that that’s Jeongcheonmaeng’s position, right?”
“That, that’s right. So… … .”
That’s why I had no intention of taking my anger out on the poor gatekeeper.
But I couldn’t go back like this.
It’s not a matter of face.
It was to serve as a warning to those within the Jeongcheon Alliance who dared to intervene.
Those guys will persistently try to exploit even the slightest weakness or concession.
So, you shouldn’t give them an excuse from the beginning.
“Then let’s just say you came in!”
“What, what?! What the heck is that… …!”
So Cheonhwa gave a simple answer.
Let’s say you barged in, not visited.
Actually, in some sense, it wasn’t wrong.
As the owner of the Black Panther Group, I was indignant at the Jeongcheon Alliance for trying to take away my business and came to seek compensation.
That’s not particularly strange, is it?
However, the opponent is Jeongcheonmaeng, the loser of Bukmurim who controls half of the central plains.
Of course, this was no problem for Cheonhwa at all.
‘Okay, then let’s see how it turns out.’
I don’t mind taking on the entire Jeongcheon Alliance.
However, there was a high possibility that it would not reach that point.
Because it is burdensome in Jeongcheonmaeng, not Cheonhwa.
If I could definitely kill him here, what if I chose to confront Cheonhwa and failed, and Cheonhwa escaped from here and relied on the Black Alliance?
It was obvious that it would be a huge burden on Jeongcheonmaeng.
Even if it was only known that he had reached or was close to the peak of his power, it could already be said that he had a value greater than several armed forces, and even if he chose to confront Jeongcheonmaeng alone, if he used the characteristics of the Yin Gong to repeatedly hit and run away, it would be very likely that he would accumulate damage rather than catch him.
Considering his level, he could have wiped out not only lower-level warriors but also first-class and higher-level warriors.
Even if you just assume it to be at the peak level, it was like that.
Also, even if they succeeded in killing Cheonhwa here, it would be expected that there would be enormous damage in the process, so even if they caused a riot, it would not be easy to hastily try to suppress them with force.
Even so, the fact that he did something like this was because he thought that no one would do something like that, but Cheonhwa was a person who went beyond the boundaries of common sense.
Not only was their force beyond common sense, but their calculations were also on top of their heads, so they could commit such crazy acts without hesitation.
“Then let’s go in. You don’t have to tell anyone inside. You have no choice but to know by now.”
“Hey, stop… … !”
BANG!!!
As soon as Cheonhwa kicked, the huge main gate, which was more than three meters high, was easily pushed open.
Although it didn’t lead to destruction because the force was adjusted appropriately, the sight of the huge door, which had to be pushed hard by several guards to open slightly, suddenly opening was enough to attract the attention of everyone inside.
Cheonhwa walked lightly, receiving all of those gazes.
However, his footsteps were imbued with a mysterious lightness technique, and with each light step he took, his body was pushed forward several feet.
“Uh, uh… … ?”
“what?!”
“Is that okay?”
The sight was so natural, as if he was coming and going from his own home, that even those watching couldn’t respond properly.
Even though I was quickly passing through the interior of the fortress, where even the use of light aircraft was restricted unless it was an emergency, I would often just blink and stare blankly.
“Tch, intruder!!!”
No one was able to stop him until the gatekeeper standing at the entrance shouted with all his might.
“Stop!!”
“What the… … instrument?”
“Could it be, an evil spirit?!”
Only then did the warriors of Jeongcheonmaeng come to their senses and fly to block him, but naturally, none of them succeeded in blocking him.
The moment I thought I had blocked it and flew away, Cheonhwa was already far behind.
It was because the level of the unmanned units was low because it was on the outskirts of the main building, but it was also because the speed of the heavenly flower was overwhelming.
The only odd thing is that it doesn’t seem that fast until you try to block it directly.
As if he had intentionally shown his face, even the lower-ranking warriors could clearly see his appearance.
So someone noticed the instruments he had.
It wasn’t that difficult since the only people in the current martial arts world who had and played such instruments were evil spirits and heavenly spirits.
Ding! Ding! Ding!!
Whatever it was, it didn’t really matter.
The only thing that matters is that they are invaders who have invaded the Jeongcheon Alliance.
The entire headquarters of the Jeongcheon Alliance went into alert mode with the sound of a bell notifying an intruder.
All the drones stopped what they were doing, jumped out, and started running towards where the commotion was happening.
The level of martial arts didn’t matter.
Even if they are third-rate warriors with low skill, if they can band together and buy time, then soon the masters will appear.
Although the Jeongcheon Alliance was only recently formed, perhaps because of the greater cause of the alliance, the Jeongcheon Alliance’s warriors displayed surprising loyalty, throwing themselves to block Cheonhwa’s path and trying to grab his ankles.
Of course, it was something that had no chance of success.
“Hmm. Over there?”
Cheonhwa pushed forward, pushing past those who kept rushing at him, but without knowing the main structure of the Jeongcheon Alliance, it was not easy to get to where he wanted to go.
I don’t know if the leader is revealing his prayers, but it’s common for the most skilled ones to act like commoners in normal times.
But fortunately, thanks to those who came rushing in and stood up for defense, I was able to roughly estimate the direction.
Although there were people gathering towards Cheonhwa, there were also quite a few who had already taken their places and were waiting to block Cheonhwa from going somewhere.
Maybe that’s the path leading to the Mengju War.
Cheonhwa, who had found the direction like that, flew without delay, and most people were unable to catch them or follow them.
Because if he really set his mind to it, he would have a hard time keeping up with even the most skilled swordsman in the Central Plains.
Even so, it was annoying enough, so I used the divine wind to create a whirlwind behind me to hinder me, making it even harder to chase after Cheonhwa.
That’s why those waiting at the front had no choice but to resist with all their might.
“Stop!”
“Get in formation!”
They each held their weapons and stood tensely, blocking him like an iron wall, but Cheonhwa simply stomped his feet hard and hit the ground.
Kuuuung!
The tremors that spread through the ground shook the entire area.
If it had simply shaken the ground and upset their posture, it would not have had much of an effect on those called masters, but the earthquake caused by Cheonhwa itself contained enormous power.
“Whoa?!”
“Get out of here!!”
It also popped out of the ground like a sharp awl.
Some people had their soles pierced by the rising energy that stabbed the Yongcheon point, while others hurriedly jumped into the air and swung their internal energy with all their might to protect the soles of their feet.
However, even if they avoided injury, the formation was in a terrible state.
Cheonhwa did not make an attempt to finish them off, but just passed them by. Although he tried to limp after them, he was unable to keep up.
Even those who successfully defended themselves by gathering their internal energy in the soles of their feet were unable to properly perform lightness attacks because their legs were paralyzed and trembled due to the powerful lightning rising from the ground.
In that way, several of the armed forces that Jeongcheonmaeng had boasted about gave way in vain.
Still, Cheonhwa only made it halfway to the Mengjujeon.
Because the size of the main office was that large.
I thought the Black Alliance headquarters was quite large and grand, but this place is easily twice that size.
“hmm?”
But ultimately, it’s just a matter of time.
The Heavenly Flower continued to advance without stopping, destroying or blowing away those who tried to block it.
The resistance gradually grew stronger, but he was not his opponent.
Wedge-
Then, a secret energy with considerable internal energy attacked him.
Dozens of dark energy, not just one, were scattered across space, not just one point, with subtle timing differences that made them difficult to block or repel, so this time Cheonhwa had no choice but to block them by waving her arms instead of dodging them.
Pava ba bang!!!
However, there was no need to take out the instrument.
Because when the heavenly incense sticks attached to the sleeves emitted the power of sound, the cancer cells flew away and scattered.
However, in the meantime, a group of people blocked his path, and Cheonhwa’s steps stopped for the first time since he passed through the main gate of Jeongcheonmaeng.
“……gaga?”
As if it was a good idea, Cheonhwa looked at those who were blocking him.
They are very young and unmanned.
But the energy I felt from them was at an extreme level.
And one of them, the green-clad girl who had shot a secret weapon at Cheonhwa, spat out an unknown word at him.
Cheonhwa opened his mouth a beat late at the sight of the girl with a small body and a tightly packed chest that seemed even more terrifying than the terrifying dark technique that seemed to be able to pierce through rocks.
“who?”
Have you ever seen a child like that?
The face looks familiar, and the expression “Gaga” seems familiar, where have I heard it before?
He asked her identity with a look of complete incomprehension.
