Part 2 Episode 86
before you miss the time
The Church of the Heavenly Demon will strike Kunlun!
Zhao and Hyejin gaped at Jeong Gwang’s sudden words and then barely came to their senses.
It was Zhao who spoke first.
“This is a really big deal. To make matters worse, they even unleashed that vicious evil cult.”
“… … .”
A furrow appeared between Jeong Gwang’s eyebrows.
It’s true that it was vicious, but the word ‘devil’ was annoying.
But Zhao went one step further.
“How much suffering did Kunlun suffer because of that evil enemy of Jincheonma? The line is so long. “I thought it was barely an hour since he died, but how long has it been since he lasted?”
“… … .”
Jeong Gwang’s eyebrows rose.
What did I do?
Still, I was afraid that my subordinates would prey on Kunlun and gain momentum, so I stopped him at the right line!
Are you saying that everything bad that happens in the world is my fault?
Zhao seemed to think so.
“Huh. It is said that Jincheonma is the root of all evil. Has the ghost of the Great Madou come back to life?”
“… … .”
A vein popped out on the temple of the revived person.
So did the fist.
The moment the fist is about to move.
Hye-jin, who interpreted Jeong-gwang’s anger in a different way, opened her mouth.
“It is true that the recluse Danzhu is in danger, but please remain calm. “It’s not the Kunlun it used to be, is it?”
Zhao helped.
“What Hyejin Sojeo said is correct. Kunlun became stronger. You won’t fight alone like you used to. Isn’t the Celestial Dragons Already there? The same goes for the Earth Dragon. The power of the Earth Dragon Order is not great, but the monks and families they belong to cannot stand by and watch.”
Hyejin added.
“Is that all? In Sichuan Province, which is adjacent to Qinghai Province, I will run at it like it is my own business. Party, Army, and even Cheongseong may have the capacity. “I’m glad you kept in mind that this day would come someday and made arrangements in advance.”
Zhao and Hyejin comforted each other at the same time.
“Nothing will happen. “Don’t worry too much.”
“… … .”
Jeong Gwang calmed down his anger.
It was because I could feel the sincerity of the two people.
“Yes, of course.”
As Zheng Guang calmed down, Zhao quickly opened his mouth.
“Sobriety. When did the Demonic Cult invade Kunlun? Where and from whom did you hear that? What was the true identity of Myeonggyoju? Did you kill him? The other remnants… … .”
If nothing else, Zhao was an excellent disciple who inherited the King of Darkness’s intentions.
Jeong Gwang listened to his persistent offensive with one ear and poured it out with the other, organizing his thoughts.
‘I have to hide what I want to hide and reveal what I want to reveal. ‘You shouldn’t give the emperor a chance.’
What will happen when the emperor finds out that the Heavenly Demon God Cult is the head of the Secret Covenant?
The Mongols’ invasion, the Oirat’s pressure, the barbarians’ rebellion, and the pirates’ plunder will all be blamed on the Heavenly Demon Church, and proclamations will be posted all over the world.
Who would like seeing that?
All the people will be clenching their fists and becoming angry.
‘When the atmosphere is ripe… … .’
The emperor will not give orders to Wulin, but will request them.
The emperor is busy stopping foreign enemies, so I think you guys should step up.
I know he’s already helping Daemyung, but isn’t it to protect his interests? Right now, you are the only ones who have the energy.
Isn’t it wrong to say that regardless of the unwritten rule that the government and martial arts do not interfere with each other?
If the emperor refuses even after saying this, the people’s resentment will pour out on Wulin.
‘It’s just as difficult to accept.’
We will have to decide whether it will be a battle between the Heavenly Demon Church and the Heavenly Demon Church, but how big will the damage be?
Whichever of the two it was, the emperor gained and the martial arts suffered a loss.
‘It won’t change just because the emperor dies soon. Even if the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, he has no choice but to do something similar.’
No matter how strong Daemyung is, there is no room for it.
However, you can’t ignore weightlifting even though you clearly know it’s a problem.
In the end, I will have no choice but to ask Moorim for help.
‘We must maintain the balance between government and martial arts. If the martial arts group is going to suffer losses unilaterally, it would be better to make it up to the emperor and inform him and receive support.’
My mind was cleared.
‘The guy who took a part of me and dares to call himself Jincheonma. He just kills him and his superiors and gets it over with as quickly as possible.’
Jeong Gwang fabricated the facts to make them plausible and reported them to Jao and Hyejin.
After ordering him to rest, he changed his clothes and headed to Geoncheong Palace.
As soon as the emperor saw Jeonggwang, he asked directly.
“Are you sure this guy is the leader of the famous religion?”
Jeong Gwang looked into the wooden box placed in front of the emperor.
The salt-soaked head of Myeonggyoju was found there.
“yes.”
“On what basis?”
“Didn’t Kang Cheon-ho give you the sacred tablet that this person had? “You’ll know when you see it.”

The emperor slightly shook the gold plate he was holding in his hand.
The sunlight reflected on the Maitreya Buddha carved on the front made it shine strangely.
“I’m just looking for records. If you see what you are sure of, it must be right. Good work. But… … .”
The emperor stared at Zheng Guang and continued speaking.
“The torture was pretty severe. “Why did he spit it out?”
“I also told Kang Cheon-ho about that.”
The emperor’s gaze sharpened.
“The cost was so high that he committed suicide after holding on? “I can’t believe your skills are barely that good.”
“hmm. I thought His Majesty would be in trouble if I mentioned it for no reason, so I was just going to pass by… … .”
“That’s up to Jim to decide.”
Jeong Gwang sighed softly.
“there’s nothing we can do. “The head of Milyak was Myeonggyo.”
“Those guys? With what force?”
“It is said that the former religious leader who was disgraced by King Taejo had a lot of hidden wealth.”
“… … .”
“With those, I approached the Taesa of Oirat and the Mo Yonghoe of the Moyong family and gave them strength. “It is also used to hire assassins and move barbarians and pirates.”
The emperor, who had been listening with an uncomfortable expression, nodded.
“So, if you just get rid of the people you listed, the secret pact will end.”
“I thought so too. “It is said that there is another force like barbarians or pirates that moved through secret agreements.”
The emperor’s eyes lit up.
“What kind of guys are they?”
“Church of the Heavenly Demon.”
“… … !”
“As expected, you’re surprised. “I was surprised too.”
The emperor glared at Zheng Guang and frowned.
“It looks like a new cult leader has appeared. Are those horsemen targeting the midfield?”
“It’s a little different. It is said that Myeonggyo is a branch that split off from the Heavenly Demon Church. When we tortured them some more, they confessed that they were apostates and not from a tribe.”
“… … Interesting. “Keep talking.”
“It is said that the Master of the Myeong Church was intentionally leaving traces of the Myeong Church to the Heavenly Demon Church. It means come and catch it. “First of all, we made it look like there was a secret bunta in Cheonghae Castle, and we built one in other castles as well, and it was expected that the Church of the Heavenly Demon would visit us soon.”
“… … “Where is Bunta?”
Jeong Gwang looked regretful.
“He kept saying he wouldn’t tell me even if he died, but then he really died.”
“… … Do you really think the demons would do that?”
“I heard that religious believers treat apostates like weightlifters. I don’t think I’ll leave it alone. “It could be that they are trying to use that as an excuse to take a few steps forward in the midfield.”
“Those famous religious people were playing with their lives?”
“They say that if you can shake Daemyung, that’s how much he’ll make you happy.”
As the emperor’s face hardened, Jeong Gwang comforted him.
“We killed the religious leader and the masters, so the skills of those who remain won’t be that great. “It will disappear naturally over time.”
Deep furrow-like wrinkles appeared on the emperor’s forehead.
Everything Jeong Gwang said made sense.
‘As this guy said, there’s nothing to worry about about the remnants, but the demonic cult is the problem. ‘Hasn’t he experienced the power of cults?
Just as King Taejo used Myeonggyo to establish Daemyung, something like that could have happened again.
‘The cult spreads quickly. You must never let him come into the midfield. We have to stop it at Cheonghae Castle. However, there is no time to send reinforcements.’
Can those crazy squires be stopped with just the troops in Cheonghae Fortress?
We need to be on guard not only in Xinjiang, but also in Xijiang, right?
I wasn’t sure.
The records left about the Church of the Heavenly Demon were truly terrible.
‘It would be nice if we could use the martial arts robbers… … wait. Isn’t this guy’s recluse Kunlun who fought until he was almost wiped out every time the Demonic Cult called on him?’
The emperor felt his heart relax a little.
“After all, it’s Cheonghae Castle. Kunlun will shed blood again. “It would be best to quickly ask the Murim Alliance for help.”
Jeong Gwang’s answer was unexpected.
“Muryangsubul.” “Shedding blood in vain must stop.”
“… … “What?”
“Do you have to interfere in other people’s household chores to use it? “I have something to gain.”
“… … “You get it?”
Jeong Gwang calmly explained.
“So far, Kunlun has been shedding blood to stop them, but what has been gained? Taoists are also human, so they have to eat something.”
“Are you saying you’ll make way for me?”
“That’s not true. Even though they fight, they don’t get seriously hurt. “That would be perfect.”
“What about the world’s criticism?”
Jeong Gwang asked back with an absurd expression.
“You wanted Kunlun to blame the world. What is the world blaming Kunlun for doing?”
“… … .”
The emperor had nothing to say.
Doesn’t that sound right?
But can I just leave like this?
The emperor’s eyes burned strongly.
“I will order the Murim Alliance to help Kunlun.”
“It is already happening and it will continue to happen. But so are they. “There is a lot of blood shed fighting against Sima Lian, but I will not throw my life away like straw to stop the Heavenly Demon Religion.”
“… … .”
The emperor frowned and then burst into laughter.
“Hahaha!”
Byeongpiltaegam, who was pushing his internal energy into him, was amazed.
“your majesty! “You can’t do this!”
“do!”
The emperor took a few breaths and smiled faintly.
It was a thin, life-threatening smile.
“You keep your mouth shut and let Jim urge you on, and then you reject Jim’s offer so you can get something bigger. “I felt it before, but you know how to negotiate.”
“After hearing all the praise, I don’t know what to do.”
“A cheeky guy. “Tell me what you want.”
“Will you listen to anything?”
“Only what benefits Jim and Daemyung.”
From the beginning, Jeong Gwang had no intention of asking for something unreasonable.
“The Murim Alliance is sending reinforcements to Cheonghae Castle. As your Majesty well knows, the text is poor.”
“I will let you use Cheonghae City’s provisions and weapons, as well as other things you need.”
“I won’t be hungry after wearing Your Majesty’s grace.”
“It’s okay to make noise. next.”
“Wouldn’t it be very sad if you left home to do something good, but when you returned home, thieves had robbed you and your livelihood was destitute?”
“I will issue an order to each castle to protect the families and clans belonging to the Murim Alliance for the time being. It would be okay to say that I am doing something that is helpful to Daemyung. If there is an individual or group that violates this and causes harm, it will be defined as a violation and will be destroyed.”
Although these were unconventional measures, they were not impossible.
Although Cheonghae City’s supplies were a waste, they would disappear anyway if the Heavenly Demon Church could not be stopped.
It was easier to protect the families and clans belonging to the Murim Alliance. All you had to do was send out a few officers and issue an imperial decree.
However, I had to pretend that it was a very difficult task.
“It’s a difficult time. “It’s difficult anymore.”
“I guess so. I understand.”
Jeong Gwang shook his head and added.
“Will the Emperor also understand?”
“… … “What do you mean?”
“It is impossible to destroy the Heavenly Demon Church. “Even if we can only demote the religious leader and a few people in high places, it is a great achievement.”
The emperor was lost in thought for a moment.
‘It means that there will be a self-destructive war over the position of leader for a while. Jincheonma, just as a new religious leader appeared almost twenty years after the death of the source of all evil.’
Even if there were lies mixed in among what Jeong Gwang had said so far, it wasn’t a bad thing.
Anyway, isn’t it the Murim Alliance and the Demonic Cult that are shedding blood?
If the concentration succeeds, I don’t know how long it will take, but a lot of blood will be shed among the demonic cultists.
This will give the Crown Prince time to solidify his reputation.
It was a good business where the Murim Alliance received help from the imperial family and the imperial family received help from the Murim Alliance.
“That’s enough.”
Jeong Gwang adjusted his clothes and shouted loudly.
“Long live, long live, Your Majesty the Emperor. “I would like to ask you to provide a document.”
“… … You have to write an edict anyway. Okay, get out now. hurry.”
“yes. good bye.”
Jeong Gwang greeted him with sincerity.
First of all, didn’t the Heavenly Demon Church gain a base to send reinforcements before it attacked Kunlun?
‘It was said that if the assassination of the emperor was successful and King Jogan ascended to the throne, he would have King Jogan prolong the fight against the Mongols and then head to Kunlun.’
Now that the assassination has failed, the plan has been scrapped.
Jeong Gwang thought of a new Heavenly Demon God cult leader.
‘He hates variables. ‘I’m not going to hit Kunlun right away.’
But it will hit eventually.
Because he was a greedy guy.
‘I’ll kill you before that.’
I got everything I needed from the emperor. Is there any need for more?
‘I’ll stop by Panga tomorrow. Let’s finish things with Princess Yeongpyeong and King Jogan the day after tomorrow. ‘I’m also preparing to enter the imperial palace.’
Just when Jeonggwang was about to turn around.
The emperor spoke in passing.
“Attend the morning assembly that will be held in three days.”
“yes? “It’s really uncomfortable.”
The emperor’s eyes sank deeply.
“I will abdicate. “Before the time is lost.”
