‘Jeongcheonmaeng!’
Cheongyun thought as she returned to being a shaman without any income. The ambition of the Soga of the Tang family is great. It seemed like it wasn’t enough to raise up a declining family all at once, and he was planning to put them on a rock. Are you thinking of making the land of Sacheon the gathering place of the new Jeongdo forces?
It was said that a new organization would be formed modeled after the old Hubei Wuhan Murim League. The name Jeongcheonmaeng (正天盟) was mentioned, perhaps in consideration of Ma Gwang-cheon (産魔廣天), which means expanding the sky of magic. It’s not a bad name. Isn’t there a saying that new wine should be put in a new bottle? There seemed to be no need to insist on the name Murimmaeng.
If the Jeongcheon League is established in Sichuan as Yeon Man-myeong thinks, the party will gain a defense that is incomparable to anything else. Just like Hubuk did before, it will become a sacred place for the martial arts. And, unlike the Hubuk Murim Alliance, which only gathered strength when necessary, Yeon Won-Myeong said that he planned to permanently maintain the power of the forces gathered in the Jeongcheon Alliance.
In order to do so, the Jeongcheon League had to become a separate organization that could grow from a foundation and exercise power independently, rather than simply being a collection of political forces.
At this time when Ma Gwang-cheon stirs,
The case for forming the Jeongcheon Alliance had both justification and practicality. The power of Majwangcheon extends throughout the Jeongdo Murim region, including Hubuk. Not only that, but the few remaining factions of the Sapa were rioting here and there in a desperate attempt to secure their territory, so the only quiet land where they could unite the power of the martial arts was Sacheon.
And after the nine factions became the six factions, the mountain Daebang factions representing the Jeongdo faction prioritized the safety of Japa, as Yeon Myeong said, but it does not mean that each faction did not make attempts to gather strength. The fact that the power of magic was growing by the minute was clearly a threat that could be felt with the skin.
However, even though their positions were different, they were very different. Due to their geographical location, Kunlun and Gong viewed the Heavenly Demon Church as more threatening than Ma Guangtian, and did not want to share power without resolving the instability factors. At that time, Sichuan’s Black Sand Lotus was alive and well.
It was equally difficult to coordinate opinions among the remaining four factions. The shamans based in Hubei, where Ma Gwang-cheon was located, naturally wanted to gather the power of the political faction in Hubei, and Hwasan and Jong-nam in Shaanxi were in the position of eliminating the magic power in their respective territories. At the time, Hwasan and Jongnam’s Jangmun were not on good terms because they grew up comparing themselves to each other since their childhood. No, it is not enough to say that we do not get along well. It would have to be said to be a bad relationship. Whenever Hwasan and Jongnam had a friendly meeting, the two would break each other’s bones and intentionally inflict internal injuries on the other’s executioners, and the people who suffered those injuries were now elders of each faction. The very idea of joining forces seemed intimidating. As always, the Shaolin of Hanam were passive in using force or killing people.
Even among the six factions, they can’t muster their middle ground, so there’s no way they can talk to the Nangong family or the Hebei government. Time passed by without the forces being able to unite, but Ma Gwang-cheon finally began to move in earnest. Perhaps Yu Gil-jun’s death and the destruction of Heuksaryeon had an influence. The existence of the huge apostolic power that was located in Sacheon seems to have been an object of caution not only for Jeongdo but also for the demons.
The most urgent thing was the shaman located in Hubei along with Ma Gwang-cheon. Moreover, Geomjon Song Cheong even encountered Yeon Yeon-hyeok, Lord of the World of Light, during the era of the extinction of the Zhuge Dynasty. Even ten years ago, Jeon Yeon-hyeok was one of the strongest men in the world. He was about the same number as the Sword King Namgung Jangcheon. It was an achievement that made no sense considering that Nae Yeon-hyeok was not yet Lee Rip (30 years old) at the time. To what extent is the effectiveness of the mind method so that it is not inferior to the amount of internal power that Namgung Jangcheon must have diligently accumulated over several decades? Also, now that more than ten years had passed, the shaman sent people to each sect to seek help again due to concerns about how far Jeon Yeon-hyeok’s achievements had reached. Cheongyun was sent to the Tang family,
‘It might actually be a good thing!’
Cheongyun thought as she walked briskly. If a party that had no particular relationship with the six factions and had shown enough power to overthrow the Heuksaryeon came forward and proposed the formation of the Jeongcheon Alliance, there would not have been much opposition from the other factions. In particular, the owner of Soga, Yeon Myeong, said that he would attack Demon Bridge first. He said that he would first help Kunlun and Gong to form the Jeongcheon Alliance in the form of a union, and then consolidate the power of the Jeongdo forces in earnest. If the Demonic Cult is destroyed and Kunlun and Gong, and in the future, even shamans join the Jeongcheon Alliance, other factions will also join hands. There will be no choice but to add. This may be because it is to utilize the power of the political forces gathered in Sichuan, but it will be an organization that has clearly carried out the goal of eradicating Sima’s group more clearly than anyone else.
And this is just a justification.
What about Sili? Cheongyun realized that the road to and from Dangga was smooth. None of the Sado breakwaters that had flourished so much were visible. It seemed that the common people were no longer suffering from the tyranny of the Murim forces, and it was possible to feel everywhere that the dignity of the imperial family and government was alive and well. It is said that the Tang family wiped out the remaining Sado Bangpa in Sacheon in one fell swoop immediately after overthrowing the Heuksaryeon. It is said that only a very small number of those survived and escaped. Indeed, that seemed to be true.
So, it means that in this vast land of Sacheon, there is not a single proper Bangpa or shamanic family except Tang family. Even now, in other provinces, the righteous, the evil, and the evil are fighting to take over a small piece of land.
I’m fighting.
If the situation in Sacheon, which is no different from Muju Gongsan, becomes known, everyone will try to advance into Sacheon. Right away, Cheongyun himself was wondering whether it would be a good idea to have some of the shaman sects who were fighting hard in Hubuk move to Sacheon.
It was as obvious as seeing fire that if Jeong Cheonmaeng was properly established in Sacheon, he would enjoy enormous benefits. First of all, it seemed like it would receive full support from the party from its inception.
Looking back, it wasn’t that I had no income.
He saw the situation in Sacheon with his own eyes and learned of the Party’s intentions faster than any other Bangpa. Of course, the reason Yeon Myeong told him the details of what was to come was probably in order to convey to the six factions his proposal for the formation of the Jeongcheon Alliance. But thanks to you, I was confident. They say they should take as much of Jeongcheonmaeng’s shares as possible compared to other places. I had an intuition that this would determine the future success of the independent faction.
In fact, the power of shamans is no longer what it used to be. Was it when the Taecheong swordsmen, the pride of the shamans, were defeated by Mak In-hu, a member of the Taeeulmuk swordsman faction who came from a secular family and committed himself to the Heuksaryeon? It has continued to decline after decline. The influence that had spread throughout Hubei had long since faded after the appearance of Ma Gwang-cheon, and only Geomjon was the pride of the last remaining shaman.
That might be why. The reason Song Cheong, the master of the swordsman, retreated in front of Ma Gwang Cheon Ju Yeon Yeon-hyeok must have been because he knew that if he fell, the shaman would be finished. Cheong-yun felt bitter for no reason. Suddenly, Yeon Myeong’s words linger in my ears.
—What degree do you think?
It was a statement that made me reflect on many things.
The scenery I see turns red. This is because the sun, setting far away, bleeds blood.
The phrase ‘No red flowers for ten days’ comes to mind.
Three of the old factions that have existed for hundreds of years have disappeared. It wouldn’t be surprising if a few more disappeared in these difficult times.
As he walked and walked, Cheongyun could only hope that the recluse would remain healthy in the future.
Once you have made a decision, you need to move.
Yeon Myeong immediately discussed the matter of founding the Jeong Cheon Alliance with his mother, the head of the family.
“Do as you wish.”
As always, Dokbong Dang Ji-hye had full confidence in her only son. There were times when I felt sad that she had grown so much in such a short period of time, but there were also many times when I felt like she was just as dependable. She just thought that as soon as she came to terms with it, she could take over as the head of the family.
So it was.
“So, I would like to appoint my mother to the position of leader.”
“no”
On rare occasions, words of refusal came out of Tang Ji-hye’s mouth.
“This mother has no intention of sitting in that position. It’s burdensome, and as you said, it’s a collection of factional forces that can’t be compared to the old Murim Alliance, so how can I lead it? Just managing the family as it is now is too much. .”
“Mother. It is a very important issue to decide where the first leader will take charge. The standard established and the discipline established at the beginning will continue. Through the Jeongcheon Alliance, I hope to achieve the unification of Jeongdo forces and firmly defend my family and the land of Sacheon. .”
Everything was for a normal life. The swordsman himself and his mother and other precious people. So that even Gasol, who promised stability, can live in harmony.
So, I would like to ask you to reconsider.
“Then, wouldn’t it be okay for you to do Yeonmyeong? Lord Jeongcheon.”
“…Soja is now seventeen.”
Yeon Myeong said with an uneasy expression. It’s not that he didn’t consider ascending to the top of the leader himself. However, no matter how much he thought about it, he was too young to lead such a concentrated force. There will be quite a bit of opposition, and in order to facilitate the formation of the Jeongcheon Alliance, wouldn’t it be right for the party’s mother, Tang Ji-hye, who is the head of the party, to take on the position of leader?
However, Tang Ji-hye seemed to have different thoughts.
“You already have so much ability, so what does age have to do with it? Think of the Black Snake Literary Spray and the Magic Light Spray. “When they became the leaders of a huge power, they were less than two years old.”
“…I didn’t even sign the terms.”
“The context is like that. Moreover, since you, who defeated the Black Snake Lord, are so young, wouldn’t it be a symbol of the bright future of Jeongdo Murim? Moreover, it would be more pleasant for the mother and other young wives to have a peerless young man like you take the lead rather than men with black or gray beards. It will become a topic of conversation among the public.”
Dang Ji-hye mutters, “Whose son is this? He’s so handsome.” A playfulness appears on Dang Ji-hye’s face.
Yeon Myeong was speechless when he caught the stubbornness hidden behind the playfulness. It seemed unlikely that her mother would change her mind. Soldiers who have reached the realm of peace tend to show a stubborn side. This was because he had unwavering confidence in his own thoughts.
The exclusive property of the strong who have reached the realm of peace – strength is the crystallization of tenacity so terrifying that it can eventually be realized in reality, so self-confidence is essential. That is why many of the masters had an eccentric temperament.
“More than anything, Yeonming is what you planned, so if you want to carry out that plan, it would be better for you to become the leader yourself.”
“…All right.”
Who said that no parent can beat his child?
‘I’m here.’
Yeon Myeong muttered inwardly and thought about the future. There was no intention of giving up the position of the first Jeongcheon lord to another Bangpa or Sega. This is why we need to lay the foundation for a new degree. In the end, as his mother said, he has no choice but to become the leader himself.
‘Well, if I don’t suit, I can just pull out my sword.’
This was the mindset of Geomsin, who just turned 17 years old.
