Episode 424
Wu Jiajin scratched his bald head and muttered.
“It’s a big deal. “I have to go back and fulfill my role as an examiner, but my weapon is gone.”
“I have a famous sword. “I’ll lend it to you for a while.”
“Is it a curved sword?”
“Unfortunately, it is a straight sword.”
Two bright swords acquired after defeating the Red Ghost Twin Swords in Zhejiang.
One of them was given to Pang Mun-hwan, commander of the Hyeonmu unit, and the remaining one remained in hand.
Since I didn’t have any special use for it, it would be okay to borrow it for a while.
“Until the newly ordered weapon is completed, I will have to use a weapon that doesn’t fit my hand.”
“Have you already ordered a new weapon?”
“yes. I knew from a long time ago that the weapon’s lifespan had come to an end. “I previously took the armor and placed an order at the blacksmith shop that was entrusted to the government.”
In other words, Wu Ga-jin expected to some extent the outcome of his defeat, but accepted the match with Geomhu.
Should I call this arrogant or foolish?
“But it’s pointless to ask now, but why is Geomhu here?”
“You have decided to join the Cheonan Kambu in the near future.”
“Is that true?”
Wu Jiajin’s eyes widened.
Is it because I learned that the day to compete with Yeo Hwayeon again is closer than I thought?
A fierce smile formed on his lips.
“Please keep the fact that you saw Senior Geomhoo here a secret for the time being.”
“May I ask why?”
“Senior Geomhu, there is something you need to do. “I’ll tell you more details later.”
“All right.”
Woo Ga-jin glances sideways in the direction where Geomhu is and leaves the training ground.
I approached Geomhu, who was straightening his disheveled clothes, and spoke to him.
“Are you satisfied?”
“I am satisfied. “Thank you for creating this place.”
“It’s time to get to work.”
“You said that all you had to do was find the disciple of the White-Faced Reaper who had gone into hiding disguised as an applicant, right?”
“yes.”
“My head hurts already. “How can we find the masters of camouflage who even deceived the Sword King senior’s senses?”
“Actually, he may not have gone into hiding. “We are only carrying out a search operation as a preventive measure.”
“On the other hand, is there a possibility that not just one, but several people have sneaked in?”
“That possibility is not out of the question.”
I nodded with a bitter smile.
There are two officially confirmed disciples of the White Faced Reaper.
Perhaps there were more people besides the two who followed the progress of the Hundred-Faced Reaper.
“However, even if multiple people infiltrated, I don’t think the number will exceed two.”
“Why?”
“It’s simple. “It makes no sense realistically for the Baek-faced Reaper to have raised three masters of the flower world.”
I knew that I was a demonic cultist in my past life.
The Baek-faced Envoy was dispatched to other places whenever he had time to carry out missions given by the religious leader.
As he had to be away from time to time, it was impossible for him to have time to teach his students seriously.
‘The Hundred-Faced Reaper’s position is different from that of the Demon Cultist. ‘He didn’t officially take over, and he wouldn’t have been able to seek cooperation from Maseondang to provide large-scale support to his disciples.’
It was surprising that even in such a harsh environment, two masters of Hwagyeong were raised.
The absolute expert who pioneered his own path was definitely different no matter what.
“Of course, it’s just a guess, so don’t take it blindly.”
“Of course.”
“Take this.”
If martial arts were just convenient, all martial arts people would have learned them.
The pupil had one fatal side effect.
It gradually takes away the practitioner’s eyesight.
This could be said to be natural as it is a martial arts technique that causes excessive stimulation to the sensitive optic nerve.
Although there is great variation in the time at which each person becomes completely blind, the ultimate goal of becoming blind at some point is the same.
‘The reality is that most practitioners become blind before they reach the state.’
Because of this, the pupil was classified as a Geumgong (禁功) in Baekdo Martial Arts.
There were no such restrictions in Sapa or Demonicism, but martial arts were avoided in every way.
It was a martial art that only those who literally lived for today without thinking about the future would learn.
Of course, learning the pupils did not mean that the identity of the infiltrator could be recognized at a glance.
You might not know if you have seen the original owner of the disguise used by the infiltrator in the past.
‘Still, it will make things a few times easier.’
Because it will be easier to select candidates.
The problem was where to find a trainee for the pupil.
As mentioned earlier, in Baekdo martial arts, pupil was classified as Geumgong and training was prohibited.
Even if you search the Sapa martial arts territory, it was not easy to find a pupil who had reached a certain level.
So I submitted a request to Hao Mun.
If there is a suitable person, please let me know.
The person who was introduced in this way was Byeok Ri-so.
Although he introduced himself as a ronin to Geomhu, Byeokriso’s recluse was actually a Cheonghyeoldomun (淸血刀門).
A large apostolic sect active in Guizhou.
[What brings you here again?]
[Please lend me one of your disciples.]
For a month, I was banned from entering the temple under a probation order.
I secretly headed to Guizhou and visited Cheonghyeoldomun.
He then requested the Blue Blood Blade Master Hyeoljeokdo to give him a disciple.
Naturally, Cheonghyeoldomunju reacted with absurdity.
[......I know that the treaty I made with you has already expired and is no longer in effect.]
[Of course, I don’t know that. The request I am making now is separate from that.]
[Then you know what kind of answer I will give here.] [
This is not a request I am making with my mouth open.]
[Right now, the Cheonghyeoldomun does not have the time to send disciples out. . One of the reasons why we can’t afford it is because your subordinates are trying to bring people from our family and settle down in Gwiju.]
Unlike before, the Blood Red Island was hostile to me.
The attitude of the Guizhou Samjeol (貴州三切) lined up behind him was not very favorable.
I asked casually, as if I was expecting such a reaction.
[Are you talking about Samasege?]
[You know what you’re asking?]
[If possible, I hope we can build a friendly relationship with each other.]
[Do you think that’s possible?]
[There’s nothing we can’t do, right? Cheonghyeoldomun is a sect and the Samase family is a family. It would not be impossible to minimize the overlap of interests.]
[You are leaving out the fundamental problem. The Cheonghyeoldomun is the Apostolic style. The Samase family is a white sword family. You probably don’t know that they are incompatible like water and oil, right?] [
Then, what would it be like for the Blue Blood Clan to become the Baekdo Clan at this point?]
[What?]
[Why are you so surprised? It’s not like there are no precedents. Anyway, since the point of the story is blurred, I will talk about this part again later.]
In conclusion, borrowing Byeokriso cost a whopping 100 gold coins.
It was too expensive for the price of saving one person, but considering that the transaction partner was Cheonghyeoldomun, not an individual, it could be said that it was not a bad expense.
‘It is also the price of leaving behind a link to keep in touch with the Cheonghyeoldomun from now on.’
On purpose, I first proposed an amount that would make Cheonghyeoldomunju feel burdensome, but was not too excessive.
This was the background to Byeok Ri-so standing in front of Geom-hoo.
It was obvious that there would be an uproar if a disciple of the Sado School was brought into the Murim League, so when it was necessary to introduce oneself, I was instructed to just say that he was a ronin.
‘Shall we begin the task of hunting down infiltrators in earnest?’
