Chapter 62
Episode 62 Everyone gathered at Paedomun (1) After
leaving the residence, Jinsan hurriedly moved towards somewhere.
The whole time I was praying, I couldn’t leave my mind worrying about my granddaughter.
‘Nothing should happen to our Seol…’
Since he was a bright child, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to come back here. While he was lying in a hospital bed, he even traveled far away to practice meditation on his own.
Moreover, didn’t he possess a formidable martial ability that no one could control?
However, my grandfather was constantly worried.
‘after. ‘First of all, I’ll have to solve the urgent matter at hand.’
The place he arrived at was a huge pavilion with a signboard saying Taehwagak.
It was the center of the Paedomun clan and a place where executives of the clan gathered to discuss major and small matters.
A reserve force of about 30 people was now gathered here and waiting.
“Are you here, sir?”
When Yu Jin-san entered, everyone stood up and handed him a gun.
It was a bit awkward to see adults bowing their heads to a child, but no one thought it was strange.
Even though he was a gourmet, the disciples of Paedomun began to rely on him.
“I guess my brother has already left.”
Kwak Hwi, the Commander-in-Chief of Paedomun, who was sitting at the head table, held out the map of Hohyeon on the table.
“Yes, Master Moon rushed to the scene right away. Would you like to take a look at the situation?”
“hmm.”
Yu Jin-san sat in the empty seat and stared at the map with his fingers crossed.
A southern road connected to Jongnamsan Mountain. This was the place where the most intense fighting was expected.
By now, Paedomun, the strongest faction in Hohyeon, and Jongnam faction, one of the Nine Daemun factions, would be deciding the winner.
The roads to the west and north were where small and medium-sized fighters flocked, and Sahyeolmun and Macheonhoe were blocking them.
The soldiers of Sapa who participated in the war as reinforcements were divided and deployed in various places.
“I think the situation is not as bad as I thought. “Thanks to our elders, we have received strong support and the volcanic waves we were most concerned about have disappeared, so we are not at a disadvantage.”
All the disciples nodded as if in agreement.
However, Jinsan Yu’s expression was not bright.
“You can’t let down your guard until it’s over. “Let’s not let go of tension and watch the situation together.”
“Yes, old man.”
The hall was immersed in silence.
The silence continued, and as time passed, a subtle sense of tension arose.
I hope everyone waits for news with their hands sweating. Finally, the first telegram I had been waiting for arrived.
One of the doormen delivering information came into the hall in a huff and shouted.
“Commander!”
There was joy on his face that could not be hidden.
“What happened?”
Everyone looked at him expectantly.
“The situation at the northern entrance guarded by the Four Blood Gates has been resolved.”
“Is that really true?”
“Yes, the political faction has completely retreated. ha ha ha!”
Everyone jumped up from their seats at the unexpected news.
“Waaaa!!”
“haha! “I knew that bloodletting would do it!”
“Look at that. “We’re going to win?”
The disciples of Paedomun who were waiting here could not hide their joy as if the situation had already come to an end.
Only Yu Jin-san was still immersed in deep worry with his clasped hands.
‘Did you say that Munju’s name was Cheonsu? He was a great person.’
About five years ago. The image of him fighting with Baek Gyu was still vivid in my eyes. Even though he lost an arm and was defeated, Cheonsu’s martial arts skills that reached the pinnacle of mastery were unrivaled.
However, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was unclear.
At that time, Commander-in-Chief Kwak Hwi asked with a puzzled expression.
“Is there something wrong? “My complexion is not good.”
“hmm. The Murim Alliance must have known that we were preparing. “Isn’t it strange that things are resolved so easily?”
“It is a pointless concern. If the bloodletting gate supports the remaining two locations, it can now be blocked reliably. “This will be over soon.”
Jinsan Yu sighed as if he was frustrated.
“Since when did Murim, full of intrigue, become a place that only acts according to our thoughts?”
There was no way that the voices of children with small bodies could carry weight. Maybe that’s why Kwak Hwi’s reaction was sour.
“Don’t worry too much, old man. We are not that weak. “With the Huashan faction gone, our only rival in Shaanxi is the Jongnan faction.”
He leaned back in his chair and hoped his concerns were unfounded.
Just like that, the hall was engulfed in silence and the moment had passed again.
Did you say that ominous feelings do not go astray?
“Commander!”
Another telegram arrived.
“…?”
The warrior delivering the news looked somewhat frightened.
Dilated pupils and hands that don’t stop shaking. It was a reaction as if I had witnessed something shocking.
And everyone was shocked by the news that followed.
“…the western access road collapsed and the head of Macheonhoe died.”
Commander-in-Chief Kwak Hwi could not believe his ears, as if he had heard something in vain.
“What? How on earth!?”
“I tried to fight back by using all sorts of tactics, but I was helpless. Without even being able to properly resist him…”
“What do you mean ‘him’? Are you saying that the Macheonhoe’s formation was defeated by just one person? whoever!”
Who on earth could take down a single force by himself? It seemed like no one believed what he said. That is, until the next word continues.
“Mo Yong-seong… It was called Mo Yong-seong.”
Everyone was astonished.
Who is Mo Yong-seong? He went by the nickname ‘Steel-Blooded Swordsman’ and was one of the strongest masters representing the five generations of martial arts.
“What are you talking about?
“Why does Mo Yong-seong appear here!?”
How could a mere scholar who conveys information know that?
Moyongsega is located quite far away from Shaanxi. Had he secretly entered the Shaanxi branch of the Murim League and been waiting there? No one expected him to appear here.
Due to the appearance of the absolute master, everyone was at a loss.
Yu Jin-san, who was worse off, grabbed his bamboo spear and kicked away.
“How long are you going to hesitate? “If this continues, everyone will die!”
Kwak Hwi, who came to his senses after hearing Jinsan Yu’s shouting, urgently gave instructions to his disciples.
“You two, tell this to Lord Mun and Sahyeolmun, and everyone else follows!”
As long as the western access road was cleared, there was no point in fighting scattered.
The main forces of Paedomun and Sahyeolmun will have to gather here and fight. We had to buy time so that they could arrive before Mo Yong-seong.
Those who ran out of Taehwagak started running without hesitation.
Yu Jin-san followed next to Kwak Hwi, who was running at the front, and asked.
“How strong is this guy named Mo Yong-seong?”
“He is one who has reached the realm of peace.”
As expected, it was as expected.
According to what he said, this level of power was out of the question.
He was a person who could not be guaranteed even if Baek Gyu, Munju Cheonsu of the Four Blood Gates, and himself launched a joint attack at the same time.
“Then what do you plan to do?”
“We must fight without backing down. That is our Paedomun method.”
Yu Jin-san shouted at Kwak Hwi’s words with an expression of bewilderment.
“You crazy guy! Are you just going to go and die without any plan?”
“For Paedomoon, the only way is straight ahead.”
There was a solemn determination on his face, as if he had already prepared himself for death.
Is there any sect more ignorant than these in the central plains?
Eugene San had no intention of dying here.
“I have an idea, so just stop for now.”
When Kwak Hwi raised one hand high, everyone’s movements stopped at the same time.
“Do you have the means?”
Eugene San looked around.
Because the announcement had been made to the villagers in advance, there was no one on the streets.
As he examined the structure, a suitable building caught his eye.
Two two-story buildings facing each other.
Although it was not an opponent that an ambush would work on, we had to use everything possible, including terrain features.
“If we engage in close combat with this much power, we won’t be able to waste even a moment. Divide the temples in half and distribute them on the main pavilion. What about memorization?”
“We also carry two raincoats per person.”
“I’ll find a way, so just hang in here for a moment. “If memorization is necessary, avoid close combat as much as possible, whether it’s throwing rocks or tearing off the roof.”
It was the same one way or another anyway.
Kwak Hwi, who had made up his mind, gestured towards the disciples.
“We divide into left and right and ambush. “Move now!”
There wasn’t much time. The warriors of the Paedo Gate kicked off the ground and flew towards the shrines on the left and right.
At that point, it was out of sight where Yujinsan had disappeared to.
Everyone held their breath and waited for the enemies to approach.
After a while, everyone’s pupils shook. This is because I saw a group of people running towards me with scared faces as if they were being chased.
Judging from the fact that he has hair, he is probably not a warrior from Hohyeon. They appeared to be warriors with a Sapa faction who had participated in the war as reinforcements.
As they got closer, Kwak Hwi, who was hiding on top of the pavilion, shouted and asked.
“Look! “What happened?”
The samurai warriors of Sapa looked across the palace hall and then ran.
Hohyeon’s warriors were of no psychological help to them as they were terrified.
“Mo Yongseong is coming!”
“The Macheonhoe has been wiped out, so run away if you want to live!”
Kwak Hwi did not have the confidence to persuade them, who were already demoralized, to fight together.
He shouted behind them.
“All the Safa people of Hohyeon will gather at Paedomun’s manor, so go there!”
I didn’t know if they would join or disappear, but it wasn’t important. They were in a situation where they couldn’t look one inch ahead.
After a while, something huge began to be felt from the direction where the Safaers had appeared.
A blurry shade that gradually becomes clearer. It was clearly a human image, but it looked like a giant.
‘…Mo Yong-seong.’
He had the neat appearance of a gentleman and was wearing a white robe with a white crane embroidered on it.
One step. And one more step.
The sight of him approaching with his sword diagonally was enough to give me goosebumps.
I felt pressure as if a huge mountain was approaching.
And about a hundred warriors of the right faction were following behind him.
‘It’s wrong to survive today.’
Kwak Hwi looked nervous and motioned for his subordinates to wait.
Mo Yong-seong, who was approaching, stopped exactly at the point where Paedo-mun was ambushed.
He slowly raised his head and began to look over the pavilion.
Deep eyes full of murder and disgust.
Those who made eye contact with him had their hearts pounding.
“Things like trash.”
He was looking at the Safa people with disgust.
Commander-in-Chief Kwak Hwi became increasingly desperate.
If things continue like this, his subordinates will lose the will to attack. Kwak Hwi threw the rain sword first and shouted.
“Throw!!”
As if they had been waiting, memorized messages began to fly in from left and right of Mo Yongseong.
Paaa-! Papapot-!
The sword he was holding seemed to have expanded into dozens.
The memorabilia blocked by the blade bounced off one after another, emitting a cheerful sound.
Tung-! Tong-! Boom!
Not a single one could even graze his collar.
From the beginning, I did not expect the attack to work. It was just to buy a little more time.
Memorization was quickly exhausted and Mo Yong-seong’s counterattack began as if he had been waiting.
The sight of him kicking off the ground and rising high into the sky was full of composure.
The warriors of Paedomun tried to fight back with courage, but it was no effort.
Kwaang-! Sigh-! Phew!
The sight of him moving from place to place in the palace, killing people, was terrifying.
Everywhere he passed, without fail, a warrior from Paedomun fell down like a reed.
Six people were about to fall.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from somewhere.
“Stop!!”
A child’s voice echoing loudly.
The incredible inner strength contained within stimulated Mo Yong-seong’s interest.
“…?”
Everyone turned their gaze towards the source of the sound.
Surprisingly, it was near the rear of the faction’s ranks.
“If you don’t stop, I’ll kill you!”
Surprisingly, a child who looked to be about eight years old was suppressing one of the warriors of the Murim Alliance.
While everyone was paying attention, it was Yujinsan who quietly approached and took action. This was possible because he had trained his inner skills using the spiritual methods of the righteous sect.
At that time, someone who recognized his expression reflexively shouted.
“Yin-Yang Twin Monsters!?”
Mo Yongseong’s brow twitched at the mention of the yin-yang twin monster.
He jumped off the roof of the palace and slowly approached Mt. Yujin.
Yu Jin-san was not nervous even though Mo Yong-seong was approaching. This is because he knew the habits of political factions better than anyone else.
‘The higher a person rises, the more obsessed he or she is with fame.’
There was no way that Mo Yong-seong, who was revered by political faction members, would ignore the hostages and launch an attack. Because there were too many eyes watching for that to happen.
As expected, he stopped about a dozen distance away.
“You are a bastard. You are as cunning as the rumors say.”
Yu Jin-san snorted and pressed the blade of his spear against the kneeling man’s neck.
“To deal with cunning guys, you have to become more cunning.”
