Episode 398 Intersection of Absurdities (4)
The world is a continuous series of events and accidents.
Of the tens of thousands of incidents that occur every day, not many are known to the world. It may be painful for those involved, but unfortunately, there have been too many similar incidents.
However, a terrible incident occurred here that will be engraved in the history of the Central Plains.
A major incident unprecedented even in the thousands of years of martial arts history, historians
said that it was as shocking an incident as when the martial arts world was briefly immersed in the world of magic a thousand years ago.
People called this incident the ‘Nakjeonghyeolsa (????)’ or the ‘Cheonmabeomjeongdaejeon’ (??????).
After the concept of martial arts was created in the world, countless masters appeared.
It is difficult to count the number of people who are called the best in the world, and there are also people who are praised for being the best in the world.
However, there will be no one more worthy of the title of “the best of all time” than the one absolute person who caused this great war between Nakjeonghyeolsa and Cheonmabeomjeong.
A day 10 days away from the end of the year when heavy snow fell.
The political faction, the Murim League, Uicheon League, was destroyed by one person.
It was correct to say that the horse suffered a blow that was close to extinction in reality.
This is because more than 70% of the masters waiting for Uicheonmaeng lost their lives, and most of the castles within the castle collapsed.
There was only one person.
The result created by a large man wearing a pitch-black dragon robe, as if he was clad in darkness, holding a dazzling sword,
became a truly terrible disaster that hit the martial arts world.
Of course, the Uicheon Alliance did not have all the masters of the Old Daemun faction, the pillars of the martial arts faction, gathered together.
However, under the reign of Emperor Damsa-yeong of Uicheon, the Uicheonmaeng was a group comprised of a large number of masters who were comparable to or even superior to the old faction.
Even if the old faction’s masters do not gather together, the power of the Uicheon Alliance headquarters alone is enough to make it a part of the three strong families.
Seventy of them were evaporated by the power of one man.
This incredible rumor took the world by storm in less than three days.
Moorim’s reaction was absolutely passionate.
The general consensus was that it was clearly just an exaggerated rumor, as to how a single person could destroy the super-large coalition called Uicheon Alliance.
However, it was clear that Uicheonmaeng suffered unprecedented damage.
It was even said that the Heavenly Demon, the one who brought the Uicheon Alliance to that point, disappeared like a mirage, leaving behind only a black dragon pod.
There was also a somewhat absurd rumor that a giant fox monster ascended to heaven with the Heavenly Demon in its mouth.
All kinds of rumors spread like wildfire on the clear trace of truth. The situation was that shocking.
The world was shaken.
The situation in the world, which had been as firm and unwavering as the three legs of a pot, suddenly became unstable. Many people are worried that this could lead to war.
Even before the aftermath of the incident, which was colored with such skepticism, had even subsided.
On the last day of the year, a night of heavy snowfall similar to the day the Uicheon Alliance was destroyed.
A major incident occurred that would later cause people to cry out in fear, called the Gwangma Blood Death.
This refers to an incident in which 1,000 troops of the Demonic Cult led by Yeomramagun, the successor to the Cheonma, whose inaction reached the point of destruction, destroyed all the major bases of the Iron Blood Fortress.
Once the Iron Blooded Uicheon Alliance reached the level, it was bound to create all kinds of branches and bases all over the world.
Through it, you can see the world and secure good information and financial power both qualitatively and quantitatively. As
the size of the headquarters grows, the number of branches inevitably increases.
Yan Lama’s army devastated Anhui and Zhejiang, where the branches of the Daedong Iron Blood Fortress were concentrated, with their invincible troops.
They even pushed into Jiangsu Province, the stronghold of the Iron Blood Province, and completely destroyed their three main units.
It had only been 15 days.
How did they solve the problem of lodging and food? They burned down all of the Anhui branches of the Iron Blood Province, boldly entered Jiangsu, destroyed major bases, and
made a final act of destruction by leisurely escaping through Zhejiang. It only took 15 days.
It was an incredible speed of advance and a power beyond imagination.
Although it could be considered a great feat for the Demonic Murim, it was an absolutely terrible disaster for the victims.
What is especially famous is Yeom Lama’s fierceness shown at the time.
The survivors claimed that the appearance he had shown in the midfield so far, as if he had been used for something, was like a devil.
It was not for nothing that the situation was said to be the bloody death of a mad demon.
The prestige of the Yeomra Demon Army, who went on a rampage at the vanguard of the unit, was worthy of being called the return of another Heavenly Demon.
People who had previously looked down on Yeomramagun’s martial arts skills as being at the level of a nine-sect general could no longer look down on him.
The world was filled with chaos.
People finally realized it. Why were our ancestors so wary of the Heavenly Demon Church?
It was the leader of the cult who devastated the Uicheon League, a coalition of factions and martial arts factions, and it was the leader of the religion who cut off the hands and feet of the Sanghyeolseong and completely blocked their movements.
To say that the damage the two monsters inflicted on the political faction and the sad faction, respectively, was astronomical would not be enough.
In particular, the Yeomrama Army caused thorough destruction by avoiding the absolute masters, but the Gudaecheonma alone dismantled the alliance regardless of the opponent.
This was the power of the Heavenly Demon Church. That was the power they had.
Now I understand why our ancestors smiled bitterly at the Demon Cultist, whom they had never even met, saying that he must be the best person in the world.
Those who believed in the Demonic Cult of Heaven and Demons had such unbelievable power.
Let’s go. A sudden bloody wind blows.
In the confusion between forces that fall and rise again.
The second month of the new year has arrived.

The passing clouds looked vaguely vague.
Standing on a towering mountain peak where the cool wind blew, the old monk was looking up at the sky with deep, deep eyes.
“So, are you a fisherman or Cheongseung?”
The old monk did not look back. It was because I knew who was visiting.
“I’m looking at the sky.”
“People often look up at the sky when they want to forget something. “But it’s not like you’re at a point where you can’t even forget as you wish, so I guess there’s something disturbing.”
“haha.”
“Surely you are not destined to become a Buddha. How can you enter nirvana if you have so many sufferings?”
“Although I did not see the blood myself, Shaolin’s disciples committed countless murders with the connivance of me and the master. How could I hope to enter nirvana?”
“It was the enemy.”
“They say the blood of the enemy is blue.”
“It wasn’t inevitable, but it was definitely necessary.”
“It may have been necessary, but it shouldn’t have been excessive.”
“It seems clear that I can’t even dream of climbing a mountain liner. Seeing as I don’t think what we did was too much.”
“I don’t think it was too much. But it was something that had the potential to become too much.”
“That’s another interesting thing to say. There was a chance it could become excessive?”
“That’s right. But before we could see any more blood, the devil incarnate from heaven drank all the blood and went up.”
“…….”
“How can I forget him, even if a year or ten years have passed? No matter what the intention was, it is clear that I owe him my debt as a practitioner.”
Hyeon-cheon sighed.
He could fully understand his friend’s feelings. No, he might have been more agonized and sad than that. Even
if he is a deeply enlightened Taoist who has lived for a century, people are still people. Hyeon-cheon said that he had achieved such great heights in his later years. I had never even imagined that I would be engulfed in confusion.
But he accepted the confusion and shook it off.
But it seemed that that friend had not yet shaken it off. Seeing him so sad, he said,
“He was born as a human and went to heaven, but he also went to heaven. “I rejected the Way of Heaven and chose to live a human life again.”
“Ah yes.”
“There is no such thing as reverse heaven. But I don’t know why I’m so bothered by his last choice.”
“Like you said, it’s probably because I owe you money.”
The old monk, Jeoksong, turned around.
His distraught face looked much older than it had been a month ago.
“I was planning to make him a bowl of good takju later.”
“I couldn’t keep my promise.”
“It’s the guy’s fault for breaking up his promise and flying away. “He even left with a huge debt.”
“What a troublesome guy.”
Red Pine sighed deeply.
“So, what brought you here?”
It seemed like he was trying hard to change his mind.
Hyuncheon understood that red pine. In my heart, I felt even more distressed and hoped to get rid of it quickly, but that was entirely Red Pine’s responsibility.
“A lot of information has been accumulated at the Banjeonghoe. I didn’t want to interfere with your training, but I still need to know what I need to know.”
“You too are a hoeju.”
“It’s only half. You and me. Aren’t the two of us in charge because we’re old people who don’t have enough skills?”
Jeoksong chuckled at Hyuncheon’s joke.
“I’m sorry. You are the only one who suffered a lot because of this poor person. So, what do I need to know?”
Hyeon-cheon took out a letter from his pocket. It looked like five or six pages.
“I’ve summarized it briefly. It describes the current situation in the Jungwon. There have been a lot of things that have happened in the meantime, but for now, this is all you need to know. “That’s it.”
“Thank you.”
“Thank goodness, I’m the only friend left for an old man who wouldn’t be surprised if he died right now, and that’s about it.”
“Okay, okay. I’ll wash away my worries quickly.”
Hyeoncheon burst out in laughter without
realizing it. In the meantime, he said that he would wash away his troubles and come back. It certainly seemed like Banjeonghoe was closer to a group of ascetics than a group of warriors.
Although it had an excessively combative tendency for a group of ascetics.
“I am writing to you . “I have something else to say besides telling you.”
“You tell me.”
“I’m going to tell you two things. I won’t take too long.”
“Thank you.”
“First things first.”
Hyeoncheon’s eyes sparkled. It was the moment when he went from an impressive old swordsman to the best swordsman in the Central Plains.
“The behavior of the outside world is unusual.”
“Besides the birds?”
“That’s right. Not only the North Sea Ice Palace, but also the Heavenly Dragon Palace and the Sword Palace are moving. Among the Saeoeosa Palaces, all of them except the Yasu Palace are heading toward the central plain.”
Red Pine’s face hardened.
“In these times?”
“That’s right. That’s not all. It’s still not moving, but the imperial intelligence group is snooping around the martial arts groups. Of course, the movement is said to be extremely secret.”
“Imperial? Intelligence?!”
“That’s right. It’s difficult to convey this part in a letter, so I came to tell you in person.”
“her! Not only the new martial arts group but also the imperial intelligence group is moving… What is this all of a sudden?”
“I don’t know. It doesn’t even look like Seondo’s new eye. “It’s not the world I want to see,”
Hyeoncheon sighed.
“The main camp of the Uicheon Alliance has collapsed and the hands and feet of the Sanghyeolseong Fortress are tied.
Most of the nine factions that turned away from the Dam leader have returned to the mountains and are waiting, and the Sanghyeolseong Fortress has not made any movement either. “There is no one.
In the meantime, not only Sae and the martial arts are not enough, but even the imperial family is moving. It is truly unusual.”
“Even if not, is another cold wind about to blow in the chaotic midfield?…”
“I don’t know. The good news is that their movements are not that fast.”
Red Pine sighed.
“The world of Saba is a series of ricochets, so we have no choice but to hope that it’s not a big deal.”
Hyuncheon took a deep breath.
“We’ll have to wait and see what happens to the world. And I have second news for you. To be precise, I am urging you to make a choice.”
“You’re urging me to make a choice? What does that mean?”
“I got a call from Protestantism.”
“……!”
“Seo So-gyo wants to see you.”
