Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 398

Propaganda (6)

A few days before the temple arrived in Nanju.

The main force of the Cheonmasin Sect, which was heading to Shaanxi Province, was largely surrounding Mt. Jongnam.

The leader of the sect, Wi Jin-hak, looked up from the center and briefly glanced at the peak of Jongnam Mountain. He nodded with a serious expression and shouted with all his internal energy.

“It is time to punish the fake Taoists who harass innocent civilians and covet their wealth!!”

The shout filled with magnificent internal energy resonated throughout the Jongnam Mountain area, and the followers of the Cheonmasingyo responded to the command all at once.

“Heavenly Horse has arrived!!”

“Manmaangbok!!!”

The shouts of thousands of unmanned soldiers were transmitted all the way to the gate on the slope of Jongnam Mountain.

In the mountain gate of Jongnampa, a member of the Gupailbang, there were seven hundred people looking down at the soldiers of Cheonmasingyo who were packed tightly below.

Most of them had tense expressions on their faces or a look of regret on their faces.

‘You think I’m crazy and came here to kill myself.’

They were either lay disciples of the Jongnam sect or had direct or indirect connections with the Jongnam sect.

Just like the shamans and Jegal of Honam, Jongnam also boasted a power that could easily reach two thousand if you add up all the people directly or indirectly related to him, including the secular sects and the Pyo-guk.

That could be said to be the power of those who reigned as a prestigious family for hundreds of years.

However, the number of people who came to Jongnampa now was at most about four hundred.

Those who have not yet joined Jongnam Mountain due to the rapid advance of the Cheonmasingyo. And those who were ordered to join but refused, are ungrateful.

In the end, they were in a situation where they had to face the main force of the Cheonmasingyo with only the 300 or so Taoist priests of the Jongnam faction and the 400 or so warriors who had joined so far.

“Shout!!”

“The Great Jongnam faction will not be defeated by a mere demonic cult!”

As the disciples of the secular world began to lose their will to fight, the Taoist priests of the Jongnam faction shouted from all directions.

Among them, the head of the Jongnam faction, Am-gak, who was lucky enough to return alive from Cheonghae, had a very crumpled expression on his face.

‘Those damn volcano bastards.’

Am-gak went to the Hwasanpa and made a proposal. They should defend Jongnamsan together and block the advance of the Demonic Cult.

It was a reasonable suggestion, in the opinion of Am-gak. When crossing from Gansu to Shaanxi, the first place the demon cultists would arrive would be Jongnam.

But the Volcano faction refused.

– While we’re holding out at Jongnamsan, what’s the point if they send a special force to burn down the main body of the volcano? So, how about we defend the volcano together? Since we need to buy time for reinforcements to arrive anyway, wouldn’t it be better to hold out at the rear for a little while?

All I could do was make crazy suggestions like this.

– If we do that, then our Jongnam’s main text will eventually burn!

– If we don’t join forces, we’ll just burn down anyway, right? At least we have to survive to be able to recover.

– If you don’t join, you’ll get burned too!

– Didn’t I tell you that? We need to buy time for the disciples to join us, so let’s do a water battle at our volcano, which is a little further back.

In the end, the negotiations between Hwasan and Jongnam, who had been running on parallel lines, broke down, and Jongnam was left to deal with the Demonic Cult alone.

As Am-gak was getting angry, recalling the negotiations with the Hwasan faction, the roar of the Demonic Cult leader was heard again in his ears.

“I will deal with Jongnam today and go find Hwasan!”

Absurdly, the leader who shouted like that suddenly performed a light technique and rushed forward at the forefront.

That too, in a straight line, towards the main gate of Jongnampa, along the hiking trail that guests use.

I couldn’t help but think of the saying, “The Great Sword is a sham.”

Following the cult leader, some of the unmanned people began to rush down the mountain path, while the majority simply surrounded Jongnam Mountain while shouting.

But the Jongnam faction priests, far from laughing at the sight, crumpled their expressions.

‘shit.’

As a clan with a long tradition, Jongnampa had set up formations all over the mountain to punish uninvited guests.

But if they advanced along the mountain trail in a single line like that, that formation would be useless.

Even upon closer inspection, it was clear that they were not just advancing along the hiking trail.

Among the demon cultists surrounding Jongnam Mountain, several sorcerers stepped forward and began chanting spells.

It was certain that they were trying to find the formation laid out in Jongnam Mountain and destroy it one by one.

The Jongnam faction priests turned their heads after watching the movements of the demon cultists at the foot of the mountain for a moment, and their expressions turned as if they were startled.

This was because the leader of the Demonic Cult, who had been rushing in from the front, had already reached the middle of the mountain.

“What are you guys doing!!”

“Get in line! They’re coming from only one direction!”

“Just block them at the entrance!!”

At the shouts of the elders and the monks, the disciples of the Jongnam faction quickly took their places, and the lay disciples also tried hard to push away ominous thoughts and prepared for battle.

And the moment when the leader of the Demonic Cult came within ten meters of the main gate of the Jongnam Sect.

“Hit it!!”

As soon as the rock carving master shouted, those waiting at the entrance all swung their weapons.

Whether they were all at the peak of their power or not, the sword energy and sword spirits they wielded flew towards Wei Jin-hak.

At the sight of dozens of sword energies flying in, a smile appeared on Wei Jin-hak’s lips.

“How ridiculous!”

At the same time, Wei Jin-hak pulled out the Heavenly Demon Sword that he had at his side, and an ominous black flame rose up from the sword.

Whoosh whoosh.

As Wi Jin-hak swung the Cheonma Sword, the black smoke attached to the sword flew towards the front.

At the sight that followed, the Jongnam faction’s warriors who had been wielding their weapons looked half-astonished.

The black energy they shot would melt away like a mirage and disappear as soon as it touched the black fire.

Whoosh whoosh.

The black magic that still had some power left in it finally reached the Jongnam faction’s main gate, and an explosion occurred with a huge noise.

bang!!

The front door blew open in an instant, and those waiting around the entrance were caught in the blast and were thrown all over the place or suffered serious internal injuries.

“Hahahaha!”

Following this, the leader of the Demonic Cult ascended into the Jongnam Sect scriptures, trampling through the air as if he was ascending through the cloud of dust created by the explosion.

“I will show mercy to those who lay down their weapons and surrender, so do not waste your life!”

The sight of him floating in the air, shouting while maintaining his stance, was a sight that inspired awe in both friend and foe.

“Profit! Shut up!!”

One of the Jongnampa Taoists, who came to his senses late, shouted urgently, performed a lightness attack, and flew towards Wei Jin-hak, who was floating in the air.

The Taoist raised his innate energy and swung his sword while forcibly forming strong energy.

Crunch!

However, the Taoist ended up being split in two by the Heavenly Demon Sword along with the sword he was swinging.

Before he knew it, Wei Jin-hak’s Heavenly Demon Sword was once again burning with black flames.

While the Jongnam faction’s warriors looked up to Wei Jin-hak’s amazing martial arts skills.

“Hit!”

Following Wei Jin-hak, the masters of the Cheonmasin Sect who had climbed the mountain path passed through the gate that had burst open one by one and began to enter the Jongnam Sect’s scriptures.

“Do not spare even a single one of the evil-doing Jongnam Taoists! If the innocent people who were taken by Jongnam would lay down their weapons and surrender right now, I will grant them mercy!”

Even as Wei Jin-hak was floating in the air and shouting again, screams continued to ring out from all directions.

In the first place, those who broke the formation at the bottom of the mountain and slowly climbed up were nothing more than a countermeasure to catch those who were hiding or running away.

Wei Jin-hak, who chose a head-on approach, only had a small number of elite personnel to minimize damage.

Including the leader of the sect, Wi Jin-hak, his subordinates, Eunwi-gak-ju, the left and right guardian deity, Hyeokryeon-se-ga-ju, Hyeokryeon-cheon-gang, Guyang-se-ga-ju, Guyang-pae, the leader of the Magic Gate, Yan Ga-hui, his disciple and dark shadow sect leader, Seo Wan-pyeong, and Hwangbo-se-ga-ju, Hwangbo-ak, etc.

Since they were all masters who were equally renowned, it was like releasing a wolf among sheep.

No, it was more like a tiger had been released beyond the wolf.

Screams of violence and bloodshed can be heard from all sides. For a moment, bloodshed can be felt.

As more than a hundred people fell dead in just one day, those who had joined to help Jongnam began to put down their weapons with frightened faces.

“Please, save me!”

“Please, just give me my life….”

At the sight of them kneeling down and begging for mercy, the expression on the rock carving’s face crumpled without mercy.

“How dare these ungrateful bastards not know Jongnam’s kindness!!”

But the screams of the rock-carved sage could not continue.

“So you’re the eldest son of Jongnam!”

As if he had found his prey, Wei Jin-hak continued to walk in the air and flew straight towards the rock carving Jin-in.

“Hey, stop it!”

“Protect the long-sleeved ones!!”

The surprised Taoist priests of Jongnampa blocked the way to protect the rock carving jinin.

Crunch!

No one dared to block the sword of Wei Jin-hak.

As his disciples fell to the ground one after another, the rock-carved Jinin turned around with a frightened expression and began to run away.

“You abandoned your disciples and ran away! And you say you are the head of the clan!!”

Instead, Wei Jin-hak shouted in anger and threw down the Heavenly Demon Sword.

The rock carving jinin rolled on the ground without even thinking about his pride and narrowly avoided the Heavenly Demon Sword.

But the sigh of relief was short-lived.

The Heavenly Demon Sword, which had passed the Rock Carving Jinjin, changed direction in the air and flew towards the Rock Carving Jinjin again.

Before I knew it, the Heavenly Demon Sword floating in the air was once again burning with black flames.

The rock carving jinin hurriedly swung his sword to block the Heavenly Demon Sword, but the Heavenly Demon Sword, along with the old Taoist’s sword, ended up piercing his heart.

As the eldest member of the Jongnam faction met his end in vain, a cold silence fell over the Jongnam faction’s scriptures for a moment.

“Lord, kill me!”

“Now, we must avenge Jang Moon-in!”

Several of the Jongnam faction’s Taoist priests rushed toward Wi Jin-hak with evil expressions on their faces, but most of the warriors remaining in the Jongnam faction all threw down their weapons, knelt down, and surrendered.

Crunch.

Even those who had been making their last stand soon turned into blood and sighs.

Ilmok carefully read the contents of the letter.

To summarize briefly, it was about taking care of Jongnam and Hwasan in one day. They took care of Jongnam around lunchtime, then advanced to Hwasan and took care of Hwasan around dawn.

No matter how much both Hwasan and Jongnam were weakened by losing many of their elites in the previous battle, it was a victory that was so easy that it was almost absurd.

But Ichimoku wasn’t particularly surprised.

‘I originally had the entire Central Plains martial arts world in mind, so it’s just two sects.’

Rather, the response of Hwasan and Jongnam was just ridiculous. Who would have thought that they would each split up and try to block the Cheonmasingyo, which the various sects had barely managed to defeat by joining forces?

‘The problem is what happens after this.’

If you only think about the war with the martial artists, it was a great achievement, but if you think about the royal family, the real story starts now.

Before the imperial order reached each local government office, Shaanxi Province had to be taken over as quickly as possible.

Just as Ilmok himself took control of Gansu Province by recruiting the left and right provincial governors and provincial commanders.

If the co-optation failed, it had to be resolved quickly. In the worst case, there was a risk of facing enemies from both inside and outside at the same time.

And it could be said that the mission of the remaining troops in the rear was to suppress the danger inside as much as possible.

“Please bring the left artillery officer and the commander.”

For this purpose, Ichimoku had prepared several plans.
