Hao Mundo then placed a chair in the underground thunderbolt. In addition to this, he worked hard to clean the surroundings.
Seung Do-heung looked at the scene and frowned. “What else are you? And what are you doing?”
When he looked closely, the movement was unusual. He was by no means an ordinary worker. In addition to this, he didn’t seem like a skeptic for some reason.
Seung Do-heung slowly became anxious. Perhaps he thought that the person who had come to rescue him may not have come from the society. However, Seung Do-heung shook his head.
‘No. It definitely smelled of chujong incense earlier.’
It also smelled of chujong incense that he had formulated himself. It meant that he had come all the way here. In order to obtain that follower, one must be related to the Cheonma Shintoism.
‘But you said that you didn’t come from school, so of course you should have come out of the society. It’s okay.’
When asked if he came from school, answering no seemed to be a kind of code. If it wasn’t for the meeting, he wouldn’t have known that. As Seung Do-heung was thinking like that, someone came down.
When he checked, it was the same guy who came out of the meeting. After making a name for himself, he left only the words to stay and left.
Byeok Tae-san glanced at Seung Do-heung, then walked to the chair and sat down. Byeok Tae-san, who sat on a chair with a grate between them, and Seung Do-heung, who sat on the floor, faced each other.
“Hey, why don’t you just release me now? Can he tell me who he is serving? From now on, I am directly under the old man. You can definitely push me later.”
“Are you old?” Byeok Tae-san was really curious about who Seung Do-heung was talking about.
“Yes, old man. The old man you know and I know.”
At this, Byeok Tae-san frowned. He was a little bit annoyed when he kept talking round and round without speaking clearly. Seung Do-heung was more concerned about Haomundo standing behind Byeok Tae-san.
As Seung Do-heung’s gaze continued to glance at him, Byeok Tae-san said to Hao Mundo.
“Go up. No one comes down until I go up.”
“Yes. What do you do with the things you brought from there?”
“Ah, that… Arrange it properly. Then, make a copy and keep the manuscript with you, and deliver the original to the Heukcheolbang.”
“Yes. I will.”
Hao Mundo bowed his head politely and quickly climbed up. Then, Seung Do-heung’s expression softened a little.
“Now it makes sense. I was careful because he didn’t seem to be from our meeting. I hope you understand.”
At this, Byeok Tae-san laughed bitterly. Now that guy was definitely doing something wrong. “I’m usually not good at torture, but when I do, I don’t show it to anyone.”
When he said that in a tone that was so unfeeling, it was far more eerie and frightening than speaking with emotion. “Oh, it’s torture. Why are you here? Ooh, aren’t they on the same boat as us?”
Byeok Tae-san didn’t even care about Seung Do-heung’s words or reaction. “Shall we talk about the meeting first?”
Seung Do-heung’s expression hardened. “Can we have a meeting? you deceived me Heh, so you’re already caught up? I was so careful.”
“Have I never cheated on you?”
“Didn’t I say I’m not a religious person!”
“Of course not.”
He didn’t know if it was the other way around. Byeok Tae-san looked at Seung Do-heung silently. “If you are not a religious person, how could you write a follower?”
Byeok Tae-san got up from his seat. “I’m going to have to go through torture as well. It will be much more convenient if you start by pulling out the soul bag once.”
Seung Do-heung interpreted the words of choosing the soul as that it would be painful enough to cause the soul to go out. Seung Do-heung’s complexion turned pale.
He thought he had to throw one at a time, so he said quickly. “It’s called a reunion meeting.”
Seung Do-heung didn’t think that much was a big deal, simply because it was just a name, and for some reason, an ominous feeling that he should not be subjected to torture continued to pierce his brain.
“A reunion party?”
Byeok Tae-san muttered like that and tilted his head slightly. “Is your name too explicit?”
He frowned and sat down on his chair again. Then, he tapped his armrest with his finger. Seung Do-heung looked at Byeok Tae-san. The name was explicit, so what did it mean to be explicit?
The atmosphere was getting heavier. Seung Do-heung was under pressure to the point that it was difficult to breathe.
Byeok Tae-san’s expression was serious. The reason why Byeok Tae-san had a serious expression was that he remembered the situation when he died. When Byeok Tae-san, who was at that time, died, he melted all of the leadership that had taken a place in the Cheonma Protestant Church with blood.
No matter how crazy he was, he wouldn’t have been able to find them and kill them. They rushed to Byeok Tae-san first. Of course, it was also a bit odd, but it was then…
The Transcendental Society was a gathering of those who wanted to change the sky. In addition to this, there was Cheonma Shinkyo, the only thing that meant heaven was Cheonma. Or it was the Cheonma God itself.
Byeok Tae-san looked at Seung Do-heung with cool eyes. “It was you.”
Seung Do-heung’s heart seemed to sink in an instant.
“Wow, what, what do you mean?” He trembled, not realizing that his tone had suddenly changed.
“The thing that killed the devil.” Seung Do-heung was startled. And he slapped his hand fiercely.
“No! Absolutely not! It’s a misunderstanding! misunderstanding!”
“A misunderstanding? Is it a misunderstanding even with the name “Hwancheonhoe”?”
“No, so it’s a plan, doesn’t anyone make it plausible? We’ve only made plans and haven’t really tried anything right yet! And that wasn’t our plan! It’s real!”
“Looking at the atmosphere around, it’s clear that Hwanma has intervened… I see that you are also a jinbeop master, so the old man you were talking about is a phantom horse?”
Seung Do-heung, who had heard it up to there, stopped. And he looked at Byeok Tae-san with a very suspicious expression. “Really… Aren’t you really from the meeting?”
Byeok Tae-san’s eyes became cold again. Seung Do-heung, shocked to see this, once again clapped his hand with a sense of desperation.
“No! I lied! I believe! No, I already believe it!”
At this, Byeok Tae-san leaned back on the chair, put his elbows on his armrests, and lightly rested his chin with the back of his hand, crossing his legs.
“Explain.” Seung Do-heung confided everything he knew. Still, he was perplexed at times because he did not understand why he was pouring out stories without hiding anything.
And so, the Hwancheonhoe was not a meeting to establish a new Heavenly Demon, but a meeting to change the Church of Heavenly Demon.
Therefore, there was no plan to form a separate force from the Cheonma Shinkyo. It was just a meeting to solidify its position in the Cheonma Shintokyo.
It was still in the stage of refining the plan, and there were at least two to three years left until implementation. However, things got twisted because the angel died suddenly.
“Actually, I was very embarrassed. If the elderly Hwanma had not contacted me right before the outbreak of Hwanma, I probably would not have been able to understand the situation yet.”
Byeok Tae-san watched Seung Do-heung carefully while he was explaining. By examining the soul, one could see which of his words had a higher weight, lie or truth.
“What did the ghost say?”
“Something happened, so please take care of yourself for the time being… You said you would call me back later.”
“So, the devil must have died too, I will take the opportunity and seize the real power, this is it.”
Seung Do-heung did not have an answer. No, he couldn’t. Even if he thought about it himself, it seemed that Hwanma had such an intention. Once he got it all out, he felt refreshed.
Seung Do-heung carefully asked Byeok Tae-san.
“But… May I ask who you are?” It wouldn’t be a normal one, simply because it was not common for people to just call Hwanma as a friend. No matter how poor the martial arts and position of Hwanma within the Shinto Church of Heaven, his name was an elder.
He didn’t know if it was done in a place with friends, but being able to do that in front of a Hwanma’s direct subordinate meant that it was a position worthy of it. However, no matter how much he thought about it, he could not think of anyone in a high position at such a young age.
Of course, he didn’t have all the acquaintances with the head of the church because they were much more active outside, but their ears were always open. Curiosity had been properly mixed in Seung Do-heung’s eyes.
“It’s Byeok Tae=san.” Seung Do-heung tilted his head at Tae-san’s words.
He didn’t know anyone he knew by the name of Byeok Tae-san. Then, Hao Mundo’s voice was heard from above.
“Confucius, I have something to tell you!”
His voice seemed urgent. “Come down.”
Hao Mundo hurriedly came down and said to Byeok Tae-san.
“Someone is looking at Seung Do-heung’s house.”
Byeok Tae-san’s lips rose slightly. In addition to this, he looked at Seung Do-heung, whose expression hardened slightly.
Byeok Tae-san then asked Hao Mundo. “How many are there?”
“Three men entered the house. However, there are many more who appear to be allies around. We have identified up to twelve people.”
Byeok Tae-san then asked, frowned at him. “Did you tidy up that house?”
“It was neatly organized. You probably won’t find anything. The pit was filled like a ditch.”
Byeok Tae-san nodded as if he did well.
“Don’t crash for nothing, just watch. And see if there are more.”
“Yes. I will instruct you that way.”
As Hao Mundo went out again, Byeok Tae-san looked at Seung Do-heung. “How did you get stuck here?”
Seung Do-heung’s expression wrinkled. “I was caught trying to pull myself out.”
Although his name was not widely known, Seung Do-heung had established himself as a jinbeop street known only by those who knew him by showing his considerable skills little by little.
And then, it became poison. He approached the unknown because he thought it was good to recruit or use it. After that, he had to roll like a dog under the military and Go Jun-gwang.
“They are very naughty guys. I was mainly teaching Jinbeop to those brought in by Go Jun-kwang.”
In addition to this, he sometimes installed Jinbeop at the same time. It was Seung Do-heung who installed Jinbeop in Heukcheolbang. “You are clumsy.”
Seung Do-heung forgot about his situation and was furious at the word clumsy.
“No, what are you talking about? My skills were recognized by the elderly Hwanma.”
At this, Byeok Tae-san laughed bitterly. “Hwanma is originally praised generously. Hwanma bows his head to those who are truly recognizable.”
“Yes? what the… Oh no.” He almost would have said what kind of crazy thing you are talking about. Seung Do Heung Eun et al.
Feeling the cold sweat dripping out of the stem, he carefully looked at Byeok Tae-san.
“I don’t know much about Jinbeop, but I have quite a few eyes to see.”
“Ha, I can’t show this in my head, and it’s frustrating.” Seung Do-heung said, tapping his chest with an unjust expression.
Byeok Tae-san smiled meaningfully at Seung Do-heung. Could one say that, even if they knew they could really get their head out of it?
“Anyway, how many people are there if it’s a reunion party or something?”
“That, well. So far… I do not know.” Byeok Tae-san laughed bitterly.
“Then think about it. I’ll give you some time. A colleague will be here soon, so let’s discuss it.”
Byeok Tae-san got up from his seat and went outside. Seung Do-heung could not hide his bewildered expression as he looked at Mt. Byeok Tae-san.
“Hey, Confucius? What if you just go like this? Go, Confucius?” Byeok Tae-san went upstairs without answering.
“Ah… Do you think this is really wrong?” Seung Do-heung continued to ponder and ponder in his head what the true identity of Tae-san, might be.
* * *
Seung Do-heung looked at the people coming down the stairs with astonished eyes. He opened his mouth involuntarily. They were colleagues who belonged to the Transcendental Society. It was clear that he had come to receive the signal he had sent.
A total of twenty-two people came. “What did you want to change with these clumsy things?”
It had only been three hours since Byeok Tae-san went out. But would it make sense to say that twenty-two colleagues were arrested? Besides, they were by no means clumsy as Byeok Tae-san said.
They were somewhat inferior to the other warriors of Cheonma Shinkyo, but they were strong enough. However, it had all been captivated. Seung Do-heung looked blankly at Tae-san.
The door to the thunderbolt that had been locked suddenly creaked open. Seung Do-heung’s eyes grew as bright as a firecracker.
“Go in.”
As soon as Byeok Tae-san’s words fell, everyone went into the brainstorm. Still, when twenty-two more people entered the cemetery, which was not very spacious, everyone had no choice but to sit close to each other.
“Then let’s discuss it.”
Byeok Tae-san left only those words and climbed up again. Seung Do-heung looked at such a wall, Tae-san, with absurd eyes, then turned his head to see his teammates who had been caught.
There were faces he knew and faces he didn’t know. As soon as Seung Do-heung was about to ask how he got caught like this, someone else spoke up first.
“What the hell is that person?” Seung Do-heung shut his mouth and looked at him.
“I couldn’t even use my hands and I was beaten. He suddenly lost consciousness, and when he opened his eyes, he saw several men carrying me. As you can see, the interior is all blocked.”
Hearing this, Seung Do-heung looked around at the others. He was all nodding his head. It meant that he suffered the same.
“Hey, uh…”
At this point, he felt possessed by a demon.
