Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 411
Old age (1)
Luoyang, Henan Province.
It is an ancient capital city where many dynasties once made it their capital. It is a place with a splendid history and even now has a lively atmosphere comparable to that of Gaebong, the capital of Hanam.
But now, there was just a bleak and tense atmosphere. It was as if a storm was brewing.
The streets were mostly filled with people carrying swords, swords, spears, and the like. The common people who originally lived in Luoyang were hardly ever seen.
This was because all the martial artists who had resolved to fight against the Cheonmasingyo had gathered here as they invaded the Central Plains.
A huge bar located in the center of Luoyang. The top floor of the five-story bar was a place where you had to spend a lot of money on one night of drinking, but it was a place favored by the wealthy because information was not leaked to the outside.
And right there, the major figures of the Central Plains martial arts world were gathered together and holding a meeting.
“How long are you going to wait here in a lukewarm mood!”
Everyone gathered burst into laughter at the sound of the sheep shepherd’s voice shouting in frustration.
Yang Mu-ja and Hyeong-san-pa had arrived in Luoyang only a few hours ago.
Of all the people gathered here, the one who arrived the latest acted as if he had been waiting the longest.
However, his quick temper was already widely known throughout the world of martial arts, so no one came forward to point it out. In addition, everyone was equally tired of waiting.
Peng Wuyeol, the head of the Habuk Peng family, glanced around and opened his mouth as if he were the leader.
“There are still quite a few who haven’t joined yet, but it seems like we have a certain number of people, so I think it’s time to set out now.”
Considering Pang Mu-yeol’s usual temperament, his tone was somewhat gentle.
Although Yang Muja was famous for his quick temper, Peng Ga’s quick temper was also well-known in the martial arts world.
‘Whew. If it weren’t for my promise with my classmate, I wouldn’t have had to waste time like this.’
As Habukpyeongga was located close to the Forbidden City, it had a deep connection with the government.
Of course, he also knew that the eunuchs held the imperial power tightly in their hands.
When Dongchang, who could be said to be a symbol of eunuch power, came to see him, Peng Muyeol thought that an opportunity had come.
His prediction was not wrong.
– If this matter can be properly concluded, the Emperor intends to entrust Peng Ga with the management of the entire Central Plains martial arts world.
The offer from the eunuch Gong who came to see him felt as sweet as honey.
Using the war with the Cheonmasingyo as an excuse, they weaken the power of the major powers in martial arts.
And the new Murim Alliance was formed, and Habuk Pengga became its leader and managed the Central Plains Murim.
That was the overall gist of what Peng Mu-yeol heard from the eunuch.
Since it was Habukpengga who had already been connected to the government, I didn’t feel any particular aversion to it.
It wasn’t a plan to completely wipe out the martial arts world. At least, the message that Eunuch Gong delivered when he came didn’t include the word ‘wipe out.’
Rather, I thought this.
‘If only I could take this opportunity to clean up all those brats who dared to show off in front of the main family!’
Shaolin and the shamans who are revered by all martial artists and called the Bukdu of Mount Tai. The Namgung family who call themselves the best in the martial arts world and act all high and mighty. The Jegal family who dare to treat them like idiots.
It was an opportunity to become the best force in the martial arts world by getting rid of those who were treated as equals or superiors by being linked to the Gupailbang and the Childaeseaga.
‘It’s a shame that the Mo Yong Se Ga of Liaoning hasn’t arrived yet, but they are inferior to our Habuk Peng Ga anyway, so it won’t be a big problem. That guy, Towang, is a guy who moves alone anyway, so we can deal with him at any time.’
The King of Swords was a master who was treated as a ronin and was the only member of the Twelve Heavenly Lords who did not belong to a political faction.
‘It’s annoying that Gwangdongjinga and Haenampa are quiet, but I can’t waste any more time. The governors are about to make their move, so I have to start a war to kill those here.’
Peng Mu-yeol glanced at the Shaolin abbot, Namgung Jin, and Yang Mu-ja gathered in the conference room and tried to calm his gaze.
Because the moment I let my guard down even a little, I felt like they would look at me like prey.
* * *
Immediately after the meeting held on the top floor of the main hall was over, the Shaolin abbot headed to the manor where the Shaolin monks were gathered.
The head monk approached the quiet pavilion located deepest within the manor and cautiously opened his mouth.
“Your Majesty, we plan to depart tomorrow morning.”
Although he was clearly the most senior member of Shaolin, he was very cautious.
As soon as his report was over, a cry of joy was heard from inside the palace.
– It has been a long wait, Venerable Abbot.
“… I’m sorry, Your Majesty. The demon cultists have dragged in the government and the people of the political faction, so if we fight them alone, the damage will be too great…”
– I know.
Hyun-am boldly interrupted the abbot’s words and gave an order in Hye-gwang-sim-eo.
– Monk Bangjang, the smell of incense is vibrating. It doesn’t seem appropriate for a monk of Shaolin, so please wash yourself thoroughly today and calm your mind.
“…I will follow your orders, my lord.”
After paying homage to the class president, the class president headed to the bathroom to wash away the smell of alcohol and urine from the drinking establishment.
And early in the morning the next day.
Creak.
The door to the hall that had been closed for several days opened, and a emaciated old monk appeared, his face reduced to nothing but bones.
“Amitabha. Please wait a moment. After cleaning up all the evils that are disturbing the Central Plains, I will respond to the invitation of Shakyamuni Buddha.”
The old monk, who had been praying to the sky with a voice that sounded like scraping iron, stepped out into the world.

Longzhong Mountain, Hubei Province.
Gajujeon, located in the heart of Jegal Se-ga’s estate.
There, key figures from each force gathered and held a meeting.
“News has arrived that the martial artists who gathered in Hanam have begun to move south.”
At King Geul’s words, the shaman’s long-sleeved shirt opened its mouth with a look of regret.
“It’s a shame that if we had just a few more days, we could have dragged them all the way to the East.”
Both Wudang Mountain, where the Wudang faction was located, and Longzhong Mountain, where the Zhuge family was located, were in the northwest of Hubei Province. Geographically, they could be said to be strategic points bordering Shaanxi and Henan.
However, Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province, was located in the southeast near Dongting Lake.
Because they were geographically quite far apart, the power of the Zhuge family and the Wudang clan in the northwestern part of Hubei Province was considerable.
Therefore, it was not difficult to persuade the martial artists and officials in the northwest, but it was almost impossible to persuade the officials in the southeast, including Muhan.
When the shaman Jang Moon-in pointed out that part, Jegalmun shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent expression and opened his mouth.
“If you regret the past, you will miss the things that are right in front of you. First, it would be better to discuss the things that are right now.”
In response to Zhuge Liang’s words, the left hermit of the Heavenly Demon Sect asked:
“Then, how does Your Majesty the King plan to deal with it?”
“Of course it’s Mercury. The enemy’s power is stronger, so there’s no need to step forward and suffer losses, right?”
At Zhuge Liang’s words acknowledging their inferiority, Yan Jiahui and Helian Qiangang’s expressions hardened.
“Even though the four of us joined, are you saying we are at a disadvantage?”
To Yan Jiahui’s question, which he could not hold back, Zhuge Liang nodded without hesitation.
“Since you joined us, I thought of taking Mercury. If there had been no reinforcements or a lack of them from the new religion, I would have taken the troops I had absorbed from Hubei and retreated to Shaanxi without hesitation.”
As a demon cult member who worshipped nothing and was not afraid of fighting the enemy, this was an attitude that was simply incomprehensible.
“Huh. How can you be so scared without even trying to fight?”
To Hyeokryeoncheon Gang’s question, Zhuge Liang answered immediately.
“You can compare them without having to fight them. If, as Taegeuk Sword Master said, that old monk of Shaolin is a monster on par with Cheonhyeol Gangsi, then even if you four attack together, you won’t be able to handle it.”
The moment when Yan Jiahui and Heklian Cheonjiang blushed and were about to say something in response to Zhuge Liang’s blunt words.
The left and right officers, who had been quietly watching the conversation, stepped forward.
“Please stop.”
“We came here to help them, not to manipulate them to our liking.”
At the words of the two old men who were the representatives of the cult leader, Yan Jiahui and Heklian Tianjiang finally held back their anger and kept their mouths shut.
While the atmosphere of discomfort was lingering in Gajujeon, Jegalmun opened his mouth again as if nothing had happened.
“The main force of the Heavenly Demon Sect has already taken control of Shaanxi Province to a certain extent, so we plan to request reinforcements and hold out here at Longzhong Mountain until they join us.”
“It’s true that we’re at a disadvantage in terms of power, but is it okay for us to hold out here?”
This time, it wasn’t Hyukryeoncheon-gang or Yan Ga-hui who asked the question. It was Woo-sa who asked the question on their behalf.
Jegalmun responded with a rare, confident smile to the question that was asked with genuine curiosity rather than sarcasm.
“This is the mountain where our Zhuge family has lived for hundreds of years. Do you think our ancestors, who loved to use their brains, could have just left this mountain alone for hundreds of years?”
It was said that countless formations and organ formations were set up all over the mountain.
“I can’t guarantee victory, but I think we’ll be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive from Shaanxi.”
* * *
From then on, Zhuge Liang taught the formations of the various organ formations in the Longzhong Mountains.
In addition, there were discussions about how to divide the forces of the Zhuge family and the shamans and the Gaebong in various parts of Yongzhongshan. In addition, there were discussions about who would deal with the enemy’s main strongmen and detailed tactics.
After the meeting broke down, the four masters of the Demonic Cult headed to the field that Jegal Se-ga had given them.
“Tsk. I really don’t like acting like a coward.”
The left and right guardian deity also nodded in agreement with Yeom Ga-hwi’s words.
“If the author were leading the main body of our new religion, we would have opposed it as well.”
“But isn’t this their territory and their family and disciples? So, wouldn’t it be the direction you want to go if you give them what they want?”
Hyukryun Cheon-gang and Yeom Ga-hui also showed expressions of understanding at the two old men’s words.
Because they were only reinforcements.
They were just there to make up for the lack of absolute masters in this area.
The four of them, having somehow gathered their thoughts, each went their separate ways.
Perhaps because they were treated as VIPs, the estate they were given had several pavilions built for each of them to use.
And as the sun was setting, the Left Envoy visited the Right Envoy’s pavilion. He was holding a bottle of wine and a glass in one hand.
“Hehehe. Isn’t alcohol taboo?”
“Isn’t the reason why the Heavenly Demon created that rule because of the children who have not yet entered the world of magic?”
“Heh heh heh.”
Soon after, the two of them shared a drink while looking down at the scenery of Yongzhong Mountain where the sun was beginning to set.
“It’s really strange that I’m experiencing something I only dreamed of.”
“That’s true.”
They had dreamed of this situation all their lives, enjoying the scenery of the Central Plains and leisurely enjoying a drink.
Because the recovery of the Central Plains was the long-held wish of the Demonic Cultists.
“I’m just sad that the Heavenly Demon can’t be with us.”
Left and right. Those two were originally from the previous generation’s Cheonmain Hyukryun Ilhwi.
They were veteran masters who had been appointed as Left and Right Masters for several decades, and were already approaching their 100th year of age.
However, this does not mean that he was dissatisfied with the current leader, Wi Jin-hak.
Because Wei Jin-hak, who was the grand prince, was leading the religion according to the will of his predecessors.
“So shouldn’t we enjoy this scenery even more? If we ever get to go to the place where Cheonma is, shouldn’t we tell him about the scenery we saw?”
“Hehehe. Then let’s somehow survive until the day the world of magic opens. I have to tell everyone how many large trees have grown on the foundation that the Heavenly Demon laid.”
“You may do so. Just as the Supreme Being did, I am always ready to become the foundation for the world of magic.”
“Hey, you. Do you think I’m not like that?”
The two old men, who had been together for decades, drank and bickered like young people, despite their age.
For nearly a hundred years, it seemed as if he was trying to erase the void left by the being he had believed in and followed for half of those years.
* * *
A few days later.
An army of ten thousand men approached Mount Yongzhong.
Shaolin and the Habukpaeak. Namgung Se-ga and Hyeongsan-pa. And their secular disciples, as well as the martial arts factions directly and indirectly related to them.
In addition, there are small and medium-sized firefighters from all over the Central Plains who have decided to join them.
Just looking at the numbers, it was already at a point where it looked more like an army than a martial arts world.
Just after getting somewhat close to Yongzhongshan.
Peng Ga-ju Peng Mu-yeol stepped forward as if he were the leader.
Then his expression crumpled.
It was because, on the Shaolin side next door, an old man with a similar appearance stepped forward.
The old man had been moving quietly with the Shaolin monks all the way here, so he was not noticed.
‘Is that old man crazy?’
He looked at the old man with a displeased expression for a moment. Suddenly, the old man turned his head and looked at Peng Muyeol.
Although the old monk didn’t show any special aura, the moment their eyes met, cold sweat ran down Peng Mu-yeol’s back.
There was nothing in the old monk’s eyes. They were so deep that it felt like being sucked into a bottomless pit without any light.
Peng Mu-yeol swallowed dry saliva and realized it belatedly.
The fact that I had stepped back without even realizing it.
It was because of the warning sent by his body that had reached a high state. A warning that if he approached that old monk, he could die.
As Peng Mu-yeol retreated, the old monk nodded his head slightly.
It was like treating a well-behaved puppy.
The old monk, who had quickly lost interest in Pang Mu-yeol, took a few more steps forward.
A terrible wave of energy began to flow out from the body of the old monk who had stepped forward alone.
The old monk’s lungs swelled as if all of his flesh was going to be torn apart, and then a roar that resonated throughout the entire Yongzhong Mountain erupted.
