Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 359

Spy (4)

Upon hearing the news that Seo Wan-pyeong had woken up, Ilmok went straight to see him.

“Come in, youngest.”

“Sir, are you feeling better?”

“I’m fine. Also, there are more important things than my body right now, so let’s talk about that first.”

Seo Wan-pyeong, who had said so, rummaged through his black clothes that he had taken off for treatment, took out a letter, and handed it to Ilmok.

“What is this?”

To Ilmok’s question, Seo Wan-pyeong answered.

“This is a secret letter from the leader of the martial arts world, Cheok Pae-myeong, to the imperial family.”

About a month ago.

bang!!

“It’s been several months since I sent someone to the north, so why is there still no news?”

The leader of the martial arts world slammed the table with an angry expression and muttered.

Gongsun Hyun, who had been watching the scene for a while, answered calmly.

“It seems like the Maitreya Buddhists have prepared something.”

“It’s so frustrating, it’s so frustrating. I think it would be better for the leader to go and see for himself.”

“… In the current situation, the grassland area to the northwest is no different from the territory of the Maitreya Sect. How dare you go alone into enemy territory? That is too dangerous a decision.”

“Are you not impressed by the leader you just saw?”

“That’s not true. I’m just saying this as a commander in chief, considering the worst case scenario.”

The leader, who had been glaring at the general for a moment, asked.

“If you do, come up with a solution. You won’t just say something like you sent a messenger like last time, right?”

Not long ago, the Murim Alliance sent messengers to several sects.

That’s right, it was because of the problem with blood relations.

Thanks to Gaebong, Cheongseong, Mudang, and Hwangbo Se-ga going out to find the blood sect, it was inevitable that the source of the information would be revealed to be the Mireukmyeonggyo.

It was a message sent to warn people not to be fooled by the tricks of the Maitreya Buddhism, but nothing came back.

– We’re just preparing for the eventuality.

– Why do you assume that the information is false just because it was passed down by the Maitreya Buddhism?

All I got back was a reply containing this content.

When the leader mentioned the incident at that time, Gongsun Xuan answered very cautiously after a few words.

So quietly that even the guards surrounding the main battle could not hear.

“How about asking for help?”

“Help? Are you saying that I should ask him for help?”

“Yes. With his power, wouldn’t he be able to tear apart the curtain of the Maitreya Buddhism that has spread across the North?”

“… You helped me the last time during the Blood Cult, and now you’re asking for help again. Are you serious?”

Chuck Pae-myeong showed his discomfort openly.

If he kept asking for help, it was obvious that he would become dissatisfied with himself.

Gongsun Xuan also noticed the leader’s thoughts, but had no intention of rejecting the offer.

“Your Majesty, if you ask for help, it may cause some disappointment, but if you fail, then you will gain nothing.”

“… … .”

Cheok Pae-myeong, who had been keeping his mouth shut for a moment, sighed deeply and answered.

“I will have my letter prepared.”

* * *

When the Murim Alliance was digging up the ruins of the Mireukmyungyo.

Seo Wan-pyeong and the other warriors of the Dark Pavilion were traveling all over the Central Plains, chasing traces of the royal family.

Originally, the trail of the pursuit had been lost, but thanks to the information sent by Ilmok, the spark of the pursuit was rekindled.

After re-investigating from Guizhou Province, where the massacre took place, we were able to discover several traces believed to belong to our classmates.

Although it was becoming almost certain that the massacre in Guizhou was the work of his brothers, the Dark Spirit Pavilion was not satisfied and continued to pursue them.

To obtain solid evidence that it was the work of the royal family. And most of all, to find out why they did this. To find out their purpose.

But this time too, without fail, his classmate noticed the pursuit of the Cheonmasingyo and quickly began to cut off their tails.

Once again, the clues to the chase are disappearing.

Seo Wan-pyeong raised a question to Amyeonggakju.

“Your Majesty, no matter how much I think about it, there is something strange.”

“That’s strange. Please speak more clearly, Bu-gak-ju.”

Seo Wan-pyeong, who was now called Bugakju instead of Confucius because Cheonma had ascended to heaven, answered.

“The imperial family’s purpose. Since they carried out the massacre disguised as the Blood Cult’s doing, there are only two possibilities, right? Either the imperial family carried out the massacre to practice some strange sorcery like the Blood Cult and disguised it as the Blood Cult’s doing. Or, they moved to help the Murim Alliance.”

Perhaps because he has been active in the Dark Pavilion for a long time and has experienced many secret missions, and has now become a veteran, Seo Wan-pyeong has acquired quite a keen eye.

“I agree with the remarks of the bujo-ju. Isn’t that why they are digging around like this to make their purpose clear?”

At the end of the dark corner, Seo Wan-pyeong made a suggestion.

“Since my classmates have already started cutting off their tails, if we continue like this, we might end up losing them like last time. So, how about taking a gamble?”

“A gambler?”

The dark shadow that had been asking that question noticed something and looked at Seo Wan-pyeong with a surprised expression.

“Are you saying we should monitor the Murim Alliance?”

“Yes.”

“It’s dangerous. The Murim Alliance is already frantically trying to find the faults of the Mireukmyungyo. What would happen if we were to get caught hanging around the Alliance?”

“So, this time I will step forward myself so as not to get caught.”

“… … .”

Amyeonggakju looked at Seo Wanpyeong with his mouth shut.

After overcoming the last coin possession, Seo Wan-pyeong, who had developed one step further, was showing a trustworthy expression.

The dark shadows on his pale face remained, the aftereffects of suffering from long-term delusions and insomnia, but his eyes were sharp.

After thinking for a moment, the dark shadow knight nodded.

“If you do, let’s do it together. Isn’t the Murim Alliance’s territory too big for you to watch over alone?”

In that way, the dark shadow split into two and began to move.

Most of the Dark Shadows’ unmanned units simply followed their classmates’ trail.

Amyeonggakju and Seo Wanpyeong, and only the minimum number of people to support them, escaped separately and headed to Dongjeongho.

They continued to monitor the area around the Murim Alliance.

I didn’t dare to venture as far as the vicinity of the main battlefield.

The leader of the clans, Cheokpaemyeong, was one of the best in the entire Central Plains, so if you got close to him, you risked being caught in the act.

I spent about a month watching over the vicinity of the Murim Alliance.

One night, when even the moonlight had disappeared, a shadow was seen escaping through the darkness during the late hours of the night.

It was a move that required considerable skill in stealth, but Seo Wan-pyeong did not miss the shadow.

– I’ll chase after you.

After sending a message to the shadow, Seo Wanpyeong chased after the shadow.

I took a moment to approach him, gradually narrowing the gap between us.

The moment Seo Wan-pyeong stopped walking due to an eerie feeling.

Crunch.

A sharp blade flew right next to him.

For Seo Wan-pyeong, who had not even sensed the possibility of a sword being pulled out, it was a moment that gave him goosebumps.

“Tsk. It was a bug.”

The shadow that had pulled out its sword and swung it in an instant clicked its tongue and started walking again.

Where the pottery had passed, the corpse of a bug split in two was writhing.

Seo Wan-pyeong barely managed to escape the crisis, but he did not give up the chase.

I could tell intuitively that something very important was about to happen.

‘I never thought the leader would move himself.’

Seo Wan-pyeong realized that the person he was chasing was the leader of the martial arts world, Cheok Pae-myeong.

To avoid the same danger as before, Seo Wan-pyeong chased the leader while keeping a little more distance.

Although his stealth skills were one or two levels lower than that of the assassin Seo Wan-pyeong, his strength and aura were far superior to his.

‘… I don’t remember ever hearing that the leader learned the art of hiding.’

With that thought in mind, I chased the leader for a while, keeping as much distance as possible.

The leader stopped in front of a small shrine built somewhere on a low hill.

In the shadows of the shrine, to whom no one knew who it was dedicated, someone rose up.

The leader handed a letter to the one who appeared from the shadows.

Without saying anything else, the man turned around and disappeared into the shadows.

Only after he left did the leader turn around and head towards the Murim Alliance.

Seo Wan-pyeong, who had been observing the scene from afar, took a step forward only after the leader had completely disappeared.

Chasing after the person who received the letter from the leader.

‘shit.’

Chasing him wasn’t an easy task.

While waiting for the leader to leave, he had also moved quite a distance, and there was hardly any trace of him, as if he was skilled at such things.

Several days of chasing the person who left with the letter, following traces so subtle they were barely recognizable.

After much hardship, Seo Wan-pyeong finally succeeded in catching up with him.

As Seo Wan-pyeong had expected, the man was indeed a eunuch.

only.

“Who are you?”

The problem was that he noticed Seo Wan-pyeong approaching him before he could launch a surprise attack.

Perhaps it was because he was given the mission to secretly contact the leader of the martial arts world. He seemed to be a person of considerable skill even among his classmates.

An ambitious moment. The two men faced each other in the dark forest, spaced about a foot apart.

Perhaps because they both learned martial arts specializing in stealth, the fight between the two proceeded quite calmly.

I walked carefully through the forest, taking small steps.

A moment when each other’s view is blocked by trees or bushes.

visor!

Sparks flew as secretly thrown weapons clashed, and a sword swung by someone who suddenly attacked was blocked, making a metallic sound.

May the silent battle of assassins continue, where even the slightest mistake can mean the difference between life and death.

Seo Wan-pyeong took advantage of the darkness of the forest once again and swung his sword at his classmate.

visor!

The moment when the two swords clashed, sparks flew and a metallic sound was heard.

“!!!”

Seo Wan-pyeong felt an inexplicable eerieness.

He couldn’t figure out why. The classmate he was dealing with wasn’t in a position to fight back.

However, Seo Wan-pyeong, who trusted his experience and his intuition, flew without hesitation.

Crunch.

Then a chilling, cutting sound rang out.

Seo Wan-pyeong didn’t even groan despite the wound on his side, but quickly moved his left hand to grab the acupuncture point.

Seo Wan-pyeong, who quickly stopped the bleeding from the wound on his side, saw a man appearing from the darkness.

‘when?’

Seo Wan-pyeong didn’t even notice that the author had approached him. Even though he was fighting with his classmate, the fact that he didn’t notice until the author attacked him was a very problematic issue.

‘He’s a master several levels above me.’

Seo Wan-pyeong swallowed and looked at his two classmates.

The fellow classmate who had been fighting Seo Wan-pyeong turned to the right and began to block Seo Wan-pyeong’s retreat, and the fellow classmate who had been attacking by surprise came closer step by step and pressured Seo Wan-pyeong.

‘…Is this where I will die?’

The situation was overwhelmingly unfavorable. Seo Wan-pyeong clenched his teeth and pushed away the gloomy thoughts that came to his mind.

‘At least, take one with you.’

The moment Seo Wan-pyeong thought of Dong Gwi-ejin.

Pot.

The classmate who was approaching from the front quickly penetrated Seo Wan-pyeong using Lee Hyeong-hwan’s method.

He swung his sword straight, yet quickly and stealthily towards Seo Wan-pyeong.

visor!

In order to block the sudden incoming dark energy, I had to quickly turn the sword.

In order not to miss the opportunity, Seo Wan-pyeong quickly unleashed the Muyeongsipsasu at Dong-chang, but Dong-chang easily dodged the attack by taking a step back with a ghost-like technique.

At the same time, someone appeared from the direction the secret weapon had come from.

– Bugoju, I’ll let you deal with this guy, so in the meantime, you go get what you need.

He was the leader of the Cheonmasingyo Amyeonggak and Seo Wanpyeong’s superior, the Amyeonggakju.
