Chapter 233

Episode 233 One step toward a new world (5)

“Master. “Master Xiao Jiao requests an audience with you.”

“Come on in.”

Coogugung.

The door opened and Seoryang entered Daejeon.

Lee Cheon-sang was still the same. The sight of him sitting by the window, not in the royal palace, pouring himself a drink, was filled with a unique languor.

“Are you here?”

“yes. uh? “Isn’t it six thousand heart pearls?”

“It’s bamboo leaf sake.”

“It smells good.”

“Would you like a drink?”

“Good.”

Seo-ryang, who sat across from Lee Cheon-sang, politely accepted the glass.

After refreshingly emptying his glass, Seo-ryang opened his mouth.

“I’m here at this hour, so it’s not for me to say anything, but when are you going to sleep?”

“Only when necessary.”

“okay.”

Lee Cheon-sang filled Seo-ryang’s cup again.

“Good job.”

“yes?”

“The coronation. Of course, it wasn’t something that could be called a coronation.”

“People did the hard work. “I didn’t do anything.”

Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

He didn’t bother to ask why he came. I don’t know if they think the person they are visiting will tell them on their own or if they are not interested.

Xu Liang said.

“I’m on my way back after stopping by the military department.”

“Right.”

“I even went into the operation room.”

“It’s not a fun place.”

Lee Cheon-sang was not surprised to hear that Seo-ryang had entered the military department’s operations room. This is because it is a place that any small religious leader can enter at any time.

“The general said he got some interesting information and showed it to me.”

Seo-ryang took out the letter from his pocket and placed it in front of Lee Cheon-sang’s cup.

Lee Cheon-sang, holding the glass, glanced at the letter and emptied the glass.

“Volcanoes are also trouble.”

“Iknow, right.”

“It’s always been like that.”

“yes? “A volcano?”

“I’m not talking about a volcano.”

Lee Cheon-sang placed the glass and raised the corners of his mouth.

“The Lord of Uicheon.”

At that moment, Seo-ryang’s eyes became even more intense.

Lee Cheon-sang spoke calmly.

“Did you say it was your dream to eliminate the Uicheon Blindness and the Iron Blood Fortress?”

“That’s right.”

“I will tell you now that you have become the leader of the Little Church. “What do I think of them and how do they live in the world?”

“I will listen carefully.”

This time, Seoryang filled Lee Cheon-sang’s cup.

“Thirty years ago, when I passively changed foreign policy, the Old School Ilbang and the Five Generations were quite strong factions.”

Although it was said that it was quite reasonable, the person who said it was Lee Cheon-sang. Those words themselves were no different from acknowledging them.

“But as time passed, they gradually became different from before. The power of the clan became stronger through active martial arts exchanges, but the strong ties and leisure of the past have disappeared.

Do you know why?”

“…Is that because of Lord Uicheon?”

“Yes.”

Lee Cheon-sang raised his glass and said.

“The Lord of Uicheon is a snake. A thousand-year-old poisonous snake among poisonous snakes. “This guy is as cunning as an Imoogi and as clever as a nine-tailed fox.”

I agreed. At least Lee Cheon-sang compared Lord Uicheon to a poisonous snake, but in Seo-ryang’s eyes, he was nothing more than a piece of trash tainted by evil.

The problem is that the political power of that piece of trash is so great that it can be counted among the hands of the midfielder.

“He corrupted the heads of the sects who were supposed to be symbols of righteousness.”

“…?”

“You seem curious. How you corrupted them.”

“yes. Even if you are rotten, to become the leader of the nine factions and the five generations, you need to have a tolerable amount of martial arts…”

“The method by which Lord Uicheon corrupted them was not through witchcraft or anything like that.”

“yes?”

Lee Cheon-sang smiled.

“I corrupted them with a weapon that was ten times worse than magic and a hundred times more effective than witchcraft.”

“Is there such a thing?”

“craving.”

“…!”

“Lord Uicheon made them feel what desire is and what power is. “You poisoned a clean well.”

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

“how…?”

“Didn’t you tell me? Lord Uicheon is a poisonous snake.

“He knew that in order to control the Nine-Fail-Il-Bang and the Five Generations, he had to first destroy their minds in order to make them lick the soles of his feet.”

“No, what I wanted to ask was not the reason, but the method. How is that possible?”

“There is one very easy way.”

“yes?”

“It’s a competition.”

“…ah!”

Lee Cheon-sang looked directly at Seo-ryang.

“Competition among well-established organizations creates a virtuous cycle. But competition in organizations that fail to do so creates a vicious cycle.”

“….”

“This guy tore the gap between the nine factions and the five generations.”

Simply put, the nine sects are religions and the five major sects are powerful schools.

Each sect that needed to keep the mind and body of its practitioners healthy in order to follow the teachings of Taoism and Buddhism came up with something called curing techniques.

That curing technique could be said to be the starting point that allowed the current Gupa to be called the Gupa.

After several generations, the old faction created the pinnacle of martial arts based on health techniques and was soon able to stand tall as a pillar of the Jungwon martial arts world.

The five generations were different. They were not ascetics. As they were worldly forces different from the old faction, each wanted to stand at the top.

Fighters full of fighting spirit who fought and fought again to achieve their current position. They were the five generations.

“The nine factions and the five generations are the same, but they are different. Although they are called the pillars of the martial arts faction, they are organizations that can be divided if they are divided.”

“okay.”

“The Lord of Uicheon took control of the martial arts faction like that. It caused the division of its own accord by throwing away the germ of desire through competition.

Afterwards, he overheated the madness of the two divided groups and played the role of a mediator in the middle.”

“….”

“No matter how crazy the competition was, it did not ruin the power of hundreds of years of dedication to the martial arts faction. “They realized that the situation was not right.”

“I guess so. Only after you’re not an idiot….”

“Wrong. “They were fools and at that moment they became corrupted.”

“yes?”

“If we truly thought that the situation was not right, we should have gathered our strength and driven out the Uicheon lord. But they ended up making the worst choice.”

Lee Cheon-sang filled his glass again. Today I drank alcohol very quickly.

“They started putting pressure on the evil orchestrator to be on their side.”

Xiliang exclaimed.

Although he acted as Damsayeong’s puppet, he did not know the details of how he managed the situation. But after listening to it like this, I understand.

Dam Sa-yeong made the fifteen sects that were overflowing with sects identical to his own.

“The cunning of Lord Uicheon shone there. He did whatever they wanted. If I had to bow my head, I would have bowed. If I had to kneel, I would have kneeled.

As a puppet leader, I gave them everything they wanted.”

Lee Cheon-sang smiled.

“I can’t say it was the best, but it was a strategy that deserves to be evaluated as excellent.

In the end, the nine factions and the five generations were completely separated, only being bound together by the superficial name of Uicheonmaeng.”

“And it was at that moment that Lord Uicheon revealed his magic.”

“Accurate. I increased my presence between the two groups and drew attention to me.

“It showed off a presence that was enough to not offend the nerves of both groups, but was powerful enough to be used with them.”

“….”

“There the two groups made their second mistake. “It was a completely different mistake from the first mistake, from which there was room for awakening, and it was a plunge into a swamp from which there was no escape.”

“What kind of mistake was it?”

“An order containing the intentions of each clan was sent to the leader of Uicheon, who was supported by small and medium-sized clans.”

“…!”

“The order was full of seals stamped as sacred items by the masters of each sect.”

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“It’s like handing over their lifeline.”

“Yes. It may have been their intention to put pressure on the leader… but I don’t know why they didn’t think that it would be the worst move to tie their necks.

“It may have been because of the scent of desire sprouting in the field of competition, but even considering that, it was such a foolish thing to do.”

Lee Cheon-sang pointed to Seo-ryang’s cup with his chin. Seo-ryang hurriedly emptied his glass, thinking it was a mistake.

Then he filled Seoryang’s cup again.

“The Lord of Uicheon received many of those orders. As the years went by, the orders he received were enough to fill a room.”

“This is the start of the attack.”

“I saw it well. Lord Uicheon brought it out in front of the representatives of the small and medium-sized factions and admitted his mistake. And I appealed for another chance.”

“It’s amazing.”

“It was a bold strategy. The small and medium-sized factions learned of the misdeeds of their leader, but were unable to impeach him. I didn’t have the strength to do that.

Rather, I had to comfort the leader. “Because the only person who would listen to them was Maengju.”

“Hmm…”

“But some guys thought about using that wealth to wield a powerful weapon.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“When they were about to wield the leader, the leader would have already taken control of the Nine Sects and the Five Great Families.”

“Yes. “In the tightrope walk between the strong and the weak, Lord Uicheon was finally able to obtain everything he wanted.”

Hearing this gives me goosebumps again.

The mind, which was more insidious than martial arts, was more insidious than strategy, and the insane drive that put it into practice was more frightening than the mind.

Uicheon lord Damsayeong.

Also known as Uicheonmuje (????), his true nature was a devil himself so vicious that the Heavenly Demon Religion seemed cute.

“It was also a time when his martial arts skills increased explosively. As his power grew stronger and he possessed money and information in one hand, he began to take all kinds of elixirs in the world.”

“I don’t think martial artists will become stronger by taking a lot of elixirs.”

“Of course it is. However, it is possible to lower the difficulty of an iron wall to the level of a stone wall. “I can guarantee that the current Uicheon Lord’s martial arts skills will compete for the highest level even among the top ten masters.”

Lee Cheon-sang looked at Seo-ryang carefully.

“Furthermore, he will definitely be stronger than you and the Mazons we are now.”

Xu Liang grinned.

There was no jealousy or desire to win in that murderous smile. There was only the pure will to kill.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Lee Cheon-sang chuckled.

‘Even though I’m completely tainted by the devil, I can’t give up the habit.’

Does not matter. If you have already entered the devil’s arms, you will be able to maintain your dignity even in the worst situation.

No one knows whether it is dignity before victory or dignity before death.

“Compared to him, Iron Blood Seongju is a nobleman. He may have won the title of castle lord based on political strife, but at least he has a friendly side.

Of course, it will be easier to attack than Uicheon Lord.”

“I don’t skimp on eating food just because it’s delicious.”

Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

“Is the reason you came to see me because of what happened in Shaanxi?”

“That’s right.”

Lee Cheon-sang did not ask what he was going to do there.

“I’m here to ask for permission.”

“Yes.”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t give you permission.”

Xu Liang stared at Li Cheon Sang without answering.

Lee Cheon-sang smiled.

“You have a cheeky look.”

“Isn’t it the leader of the Little Church?”

“Your teacher is the sect leader.”

“Yes, I know.”

Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.

“You resemble me only in the useless parts.”

He got up from his seat.

“Follow me.”

“yes. “But where are you going?”

Lee Cheon-sang glanced at Seo-ryang.

“Whether it’s installed in the central region or outside of Sae-eup, shouldn’t you at least bring something to prove that you’re my disciple?”
