Episode 405 Casting a new shadow (5)
“It’s been a while since I’ve been here.”
After entering Panmajeong, Seoryang looked around.
‘It’s such an amazing place.’
Everything was pure white.
Like before, the surrounding scenery had not changed. From the ground where I stood on my feet to the endless sky, everything I could see was white.
‘Is it natural since there is no axis of battle?’
I had heard a bit from Lee Cheon-sang about how Panmajeong was created.
And yesterday, I also heard from Mudam what it takes to become the owner of Panmajeong.
“There is so much to do.”
The official coronation of the religious leader has not yet taken place.
However, as a religious leader, there was as much work to do as Mount Tai. It was natural to analyze the stability of the school or the situation in the central government, and there were also abilities and knowledge that a religious leader should have.
I wanted to take things slowly, one by one, but there were many issues that needed to be dealt with urgently. One of them was Panmajeong.
“Dongpil.”
“Did you call me, leader?”
Ma Dong-pil, who bowed his head respectfully, looked very innocent, unlike usual.
Not only his hair but also his beard were neatly trimmed, and his attire was old-fashioned yet practical as befits the religious leader’s closest guard.
“What is Daehobeop doing now?”
“I received a report that he headed to the Hobeop this morning. “The defense court will be under renovation for some time.”
“It will take some time.”
“That’s expected.”
“Then I guess I’ll have to take care of it myself.”
Seoyang took out a thin book from his arms.
On the surface of the book, the five characters ‘Yujindohyeonggyeol (????)’ were written in grand strokes.
‘There are still many things in the world that I don’t know about.’
Yujin Dohyeonggyeol was a kind of road connecting Gyoju and Panmajeong.
It was a type of Neigongsimbeop in that luck (??) was essential.
However, in the sense that it turns this place into a fantasy world desired by the religious leader, it was also a type of drinking family magic.
It is a combination of martial arts and techniques. Since the world created by imitating the old bamboo forest is connected to people, it can be seen as the same as the relationship between the old bamboo forest and the forest.
‘Connecting people to an artificially created world of fantasy… I wouldn’t be able to even attempt it without at least the magic power of the old Yuma supply.’
Although they are said to be invincible and immortal, the laws of the world do not allow them to be independent.
There will always be a natural enemy, so even the best in the world cannot last forever.
The only person who went against the path of heaven was Lee Cheon-sang.
Because he devastated the world with his overwhelming force and no natural enemy.
Since there was no one on earth who could stand against him, heaven directly took him away, so it can be said that he misunderstood the world in a true sense.
However, it is different in Panmajeong.
When connected to Panmajeong, those who enter it fall under the influence of the cult leader. In other words, Panmajeong is solely the domain of the owner of the Heavenly Demon Church.
In other words, it was clear that Cheonma was invincible within the local area called Panmajeong.
It can be said to be like a principle that cannot be changed, even by a master of magic or a practitioner of Taoist Buddhism who has mastered the laws of the world.
‘Perhaps one of the reasons why Master was able to withstand Heaven’s call for over ten years was precisely because of this Panmajeong.’
That was the reason why Seo-ryang came to Panmajeong in the first place to find Mu-dam.
‘If I make Panmajeong my own, things will become easier.’
Panmajeong belongs solely to the religious leader. It can also be seen as one of the symbols of the religious leader.
No matter how much they talk about legitimacy, it is safe to say that there are very few people who will argue with the religious leader who has already suppressed Panmajeong.
“Guard outside the door. “Don’t let anyone in.”
“Yes, leader.”
So Seoryang was left alone in Panmajeong.
He sat down on the bare floor, stretched out the Yujindo Hyeonggyeol, and began to recite the nine verses.

“You’re already in?”
“That’s right.”
A slight tension appeared on Mudam’s face.
“Is it true that you will make Panmajeong your own by yourself?”
Ma Dong-pil blinked.
“What do you mean?”
“hmm?”
“Ah, for some reason, after listening to Daehobeopnim’s words, it seems that linking with Panmajeong is quite difficult…”
“Of course it is.”
Before Ma Dong-pil became Seoryang’s personal guard, Mu Dam was Ma Dong-pil’s direct superior.
However, now the position is different, and Mudam does not treat Ma Dong-pil like a subordinate like before.
Even though it didn’t seem like it, he knew how to be meticulous about such things.
“Panmajeong has been with the history of our school. That place is solely the domain of the religious leader.
Furthermore, it is such a difficult method that anyone other than the strongest of the Protestant Church would not even dare to attempt to handle it.”
“Picky……?”
“So, when the generation changed, the previous Daehobeop helped the new cult leader to establish a connection to Panmajeong.
Of course, the main character was the cult leader, and the Daehobeop only sorted out small errors or fragments of power that may have arisen in the process.”
Ma Dong-pil’s face became serious.
“Are you saying it’s impossible for the leader to do it alone?”
“Not really. If you have the strength to subdue Panmajeong alone and your understanding of both martial arts and techniques is extremely excellent, you can link it with just one person. One…”
A look of worry appeared on Mudam’s face.
It was surprising considering that he was always blunt.
“Of all the religious leaders of the past, there are no more than five who have linked up with Panmajeong and, to put it somewhat radically, have suppressed them.”
“……”
“Maybe it can be seen as natural. No matter how much you reign as a god, there are a lot of things you have to take care of as a religious leader.
“It is more advantageous to shorten the time with the help of the Great Protection Act than to subdue Panmajeong alone.”
“okay.”
“But even so, it is still difficult. In fact, some of the past religious leaders attempted to do it on their own, but most of them failed.”
“The leader will be different.”
“I think so too. I’m just saying this because I’m worried. Among those who failed, there were the Five Great Heavenly Demons.”
Ma Dong-pil’s eyes widened.
In the history of the Heavenly Demon Church, there are only nine people, including the former religious leader, who have received the title of Heavenly Demon. There were ten people, including the religious leaders of the time.
How many religious leaders have been produced in Protestantism, which has a thousand-year history? Among them, there are only ten of them, so it is difficult to receive the title of Heavenly Demon.
However, one of only ten Heavenly Demons in history failed.
‘What on earth is Panmajeong?’
Ma Dong-pil, who was quietly looking at the door, shook his head.
“Even if you fail, there’s no problem, right?”
“Hmm?”
“I don’t think so, but even if you can’t subdue Panmajeong, if you get help from Great Protector again…” “
Of course, that’s true. You can do that after your body is completely healed.”
“yes?”
“It is a difficult strategy that changes the logic at will of the person involved. If it fails, there is a high possibility of severe internal injuries.”
“…..!”
Only then did Ma Dong-pil notice the look of worry on Mu Dam’s face.
“The sect leader has already received the title of Heavenly Demon from the previous sect leader. There is no doubt about its strength, but the problem is time.”
“Time…”
“When I looked around the situation on campus so far, I saw that the church members were very excited.
Everyone was like that, regardless of whether they were introverts or extroverts.
Not to mention the leadership . “If you lie down with internal injuries in a situation where you can’t even rent a room, let alone get a seat…”
“The situation is only going to get worse.”
“That’s right.”
Ma Dong-pil thought of Gwangmazon.
No matter what his intentions were, he clearly crossed the line in Daejeon. But no one could stop Gwangmazon or yell at him. Because
he was a senator? That was absolutely not the case.
‘There was no justification. ‘
I saw the last of the previous cult leader and he himself told me to become the cult leader. However, there is no way to actually prove it.
Why didn’t Ho Yaoseong send Guangmazon to the punishment hall even after seeing such an outrageous scene?
An atmosphere of fear. Although it may be possible to break the opponent’s momentum for a while by creating a sect, it is difficult to suppress someone who is at the level of a light demon until he is truly recognized as the leader of the
sect
. ”
“yes?”
“Doesn’t this mean that we should use the Heavenly Demon Army to oppress the Mazon and inform the school of the religious leader’s rights?”
“you’re right.”
“That cannot be done. There is a risk that the act itself will be seen as a sign that the religious leader is striving for rights that he himself does not have.
If that happens, the Senate will also use radical methods that it cannot use at the moment.”
“Are you saying it’s a drastic method?”
Tension appeared on Mudam’s face.
“Treason.”
Tsutsutsu.
Extreme murderousness rose from Ma Dong-pil’s body.
“Are they trying to plot treason?”
“No. Rather, there is a risk that the religious leader will be labeled a traitor.”
“..!!”
“Of course, it would be difficult to actually do that.
But they are old dragons who have been crouching for decades and have never swung their claws. I don’t know what I’ll do to burn the last flame of my life.
“okay.”
Mudam sighed as if he was frustrated.
“It’s all my fault. I was so shocked by the death of the former leader that I couldn’t look around the church properly.
If I had seen that disrespectful move in advance, the situation wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Ma Dong-pil also sighed,
“This has already passed, so I think it’s right to start worrying about how to deal with it in the future.”
“You’re right. But that one mistake continues to haunt me.”
Mudam tapped Ma Dongpil’s shoulder.
“I and the general military will do our best to stabilize the situation on campus until the leader comes out.
You don’t think anything and just guard this place. The defense court will also send one and two groups to the entire Demon God Palace. “I will order you to escort .”
“thank you.”
“Good luck.”
But the situation was moving much faster and more violently than they thought.
“There are rumors like that going around?”
“Yes.”
“Where did the rumor start?”
said Tian Fei, Huyaocheng’s most trusted confidant.
“It is difficult to pinpoint. But it is certain that the rumor started from the inner city, not the outer city.”
Frost appeared on Hu Yaocheng’s face.
“Is it the Senate?”
It was a truly swift move. I thought we would watch the situation unfold and respond slowly, but this does not mean that we should start from scratch.
Cheonbi said in a worried voice.
“There are actually people who are doubting the legitimacy of the religious leader. no see.”
“I guess so. One way or another, our school is an organization with a strong religious flavor.
Faith in God is strong enough to drive away even the Death God, but on the other hand, when that faith is shaken, it can be shattered by even a single needle.
Because that’s what faith is.”
“I really don’t understand. No matter how much they don’t like the religious leader, they are loyalists who have supported the Protestant religion until now.
How can they start a division like this….”
“You’ll know that when you see it.”
Ho Yaoseong stood up from his seat.
“I would like to ask you to organize the documents at the secret palace.”
“Where are you going?”
“Hwanhee Wonju.”
“yes? Hwanhee Wonjoo?”
Hu Yaosheng smiled coldly.
“As you know, I am a person who knows how to match the rhythm. Since I punched you rudely first, I need to get out of here as well.”
