◈ Four Gods (2)
next day.
Mujin headed to the third training hall of the Murim Alliance with some of Shaolin’s disciples.
It was a training ground where members of the Blue Dragon, one of the four envoys, were to gather.
The Jujakdan, Hyeonmudan, and Baekhodan were also probably meeting in another training hall by now.
Just as fifteen people came from Shaolin, a similar number from other large Segana sects came to visit the Murim Alliance.
In addition, if you include the warriors of the Murim Alliance and those from small and medium-sized clans, the number was over three hundred, so naturally the four envoys were divided into about eighty people each.
And when he arrived at the training hall assigned to the Blue Dragon, the atmosphere there was just as Mujin had expected.
‘These kids achieve harmony?’
Appropriately for the saying, “We are among each other,” those who gathered at the training hall were clearly divided into factions.
Of course, there should be such a thing as camaraderie, but I felt like half of the soldiers would die in the first battle before that camaraderie could be created.
However, Mujin, who thought that way, also had no sense of contributing to the current situation.
“Mujin Do! I can’t tell you how happy I was when I found out we were in the same group! ha ha ha!”
Led by Cheongsu Dojang, fifteen members flocked toward Mujin who entered the training hall.
No matter who looked at him, Mujin looked like the leader of one of the factions established in the Blue Dragon.
If anyone heard Cheongsu Dojang’s words just now, it could sound like he was flattering Mujin to impress him.
Of course, Mujin knew very well the true meaning of those words.
‘Now that we belong to the same group, I guess that means you can dance with me every day.’
While Mujin shakes his head as if he is disgusted. People dressed in the military uniform of the Jongnam faction approached.
“Instructor Mujin! Long time no see!”
“How have you been, instructor?”
They were the ones who received Marine Corps-style training from Mujin.
The way he greeted Mujin in a very restrained way could have looked like he was flattering Mujin.
In addition, when people from the Tang Dynasty, Zhuge Dynasty, and the Opening Party greeted Mujin, problems arose as expected.
“If anyone were to see it, they would think that the Murimmaeng was in the master bedroom of my house.”
Naturally, Mujin thought that the words were spoken by a person from Hwasan or Jeomchang, but when he looked in the direction from which the sound was heard, an unexpected person was standing there.
‘Oh right. That guy was also a member of the Blue Dragon.’
The man glaring at Mujin was none other than Namgung Jincheon.
Quite a variety of people gathered around Namgung Jincheon.
They were a kind of neutral Segawa faction that did not yet support a specific faction in the old faction.
When I was thinking about what to do while looking at Namgung Jincheon, whose eyes were filled with a burning desire to win.
There were new people entering the training hall.
They were dressed in the martial arts uniform unique to the Murim League, and the middle-aged man who was walking in front of them headed toward the platform in the training hall.
“Nice to meet you. “It’s a shame that he is a Dokgopae who has taken over the position of leader of the Blue Dragon Dan.”
He bowed with both fists in his arms and continued talking while receiving various looks from the eighty men.
People from the medium and small sects thought, ‘That person is our boss.’ It was a facial expression, but there were quite a few uneasy looks among those from the old school or the Five Generations.
They had faces that said, ‘Who are you and what do you care about us?’
“I know you were surprised by Meng’s sudden decision. But there is no need to worry. This leader was merely appointed as leader to serve as a bridgehead between the soldiers of the Maeng and the Blue Dragon. From now on, we plan to select a vice-leader who will lead the Blue Dragon Corps along with the current leader.”
As soon as Dokgopae’s explanation was over, the eyes of those in the training hall began to move busily.
What he meant was that he was going to select the actual leader of the Blue Dragon.
It could be said to be a very important moment for those belonging to the Blue Dragon.
“Then, how are you going to select the vice-captain? Sobriety.”
In response to Namgung Jincheon’s question as he stepped forward, Dokgopae spoke with a soft smile that did not match his stern face.
“In order to lead an armed force, it is also important to understand command and tactics, but since you are all soldiers. “You can’t follow those who are weaker than you, right?”
“Do you mean you will be selected through secret service?”
“That’s right. Namgung Sogaju. In any case, you will be able to improve your command and tactics through meetings with the soldiers and me after being selected as vice-captain.”
“If that happens, all eighty people here will fight?”
In response to Namgung Jincheon’s question, Dokgopae shook his head and said.
“Those who are interested in the position of vice-captain, please come forward. Wouldn’t it be okay to stick with only those you are confident in? ha ha ha.”
Following Dokgopae’s explanation, Namgung Jincheon stepped forward without any hesitation.
And Namgung Jincheon, who stopped in front of the podium, turned back and looked at Mujin.
The look in his eyes was that he wanted me to come out and join him right now.
At his provocative gaze, Mujin chuckled and tried to move forward.
No, even if Namgung Jincheon had not provoked him, he was planning to take over the vice-captain position.
It wasn’t because of the conversation with the Murim Lord I met yesterday.
In fact, rather than admiring the Murim Lord’s heart, Mujin had that thought in mind during yesterday’s conversation.
‘hmm. Isn’t Wijihak related to Shincheon? Maybe I’m being used by the general military.’
Mujin’s goal is to stop Shincheon.
He had no intention of becoming a hero of a political faction or becoming a Murim lord following in Wijihak’s footsteps.
Nevertheless, the reason why Mujin was aiming for the vice-captain position was simple.
‘It is much more advantageous to become a vice leader than to be a regular member.’
Dokgopae said. The vice-captain participates in military meetings with Dokgopae.
Perhaps in the process, it was possible to find Shincheon’s minions hiding in the Murim Alliance.
Plus.
‘I already told you to open up relationships with the neutral factions because this is what happened.’
Right after checking the poster yesterday.
Persons in charge from the Shaolin and Zhuge Dynasties, the Tang Dynasty, the Zhongnan faction, and the Opening Party gathered together and held a meeting.
And the idea that came out of the meeting was to take advantage of this situation.

Since each faction was scattered anyway, it would be better to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit neutral factions.
It would be difficult for the neutral side to approach them when they were all together, so it was better to approach them when they were scattered like now.
From that perspective, the position of vice-captain seemed useful in many ways.
However, before Mujin steps forward. There was someone who took the first step.
“Infinite Buddha. I also wanted to compete with Namgung Do at least once in swords. ha ha ha.”
While saying that, the Cheongsu seal stepped forward and held out his sword with a bright face.
Namgung Jincheon also willingly drew his sword and accepted the fight.
“It’s the shaman’s blue water. “It would be perfect for a warm-up before competing with the author.”
Despite Namgung Jincheon’s words that seemed to ignore him, Cheongsu Dojang only smiled faintly.
It was as if he was looking forward to the duel that would begin from now on.
Perhaps because he didn’t like that smile, Namgung Jincheon took the lead.
‘Hmm. Maybe it’s because I didn’t eat onmyanggo, but it’s definitely increased compared to three years ago?’
Namgung Jincheon, who appears in Part 2 of the novel, has stopped growing at a certain level.
After taking Perennial Seolsam and being brainwashed by Yin-Yang Go, there was a problem in achieving enlightenment.
However, the Changgung martial arts swordsmanship that Namgung Jincheon is now practicing has definitely become heavier than it was three years ago.
Namgung Jincheon was not the only one with improved skills.
Sreuk.
With a sound so soft that it is hard to believe that the swords collided, the sword wielded by Cheongsu Dojang wraps around Namgung Jincheon’s sword.
And according to the flow of Taegeuk produced by the Cheongsu Dojang, the mighty power on Namgung Jincheon’s sword was quickly dispersed.
Namgung Jincheon didn’t care and tried to swing the sword again, but Cheongsu Dojang’s Taegeuk sword technique was different from that of an ordinary shaman.
Immediately after disrupting the opponent’s sword path. The sword of Cheongsu Dojang, which suddenly transformed into a straight line from Taegeuk, sharply cuts into Namgung Jincheon’s acupoint.
Suddenly!
Namgung Jincheon’s clothes were cut off by the Cheongsu Dojang’s Songmun Sword as he hurriedly used a step technique due to an unexpected movement.
“You guy. “It’s a clumsy swordsmanship unbecoming of a shaman’s master.”
When Namgung Jincheon asked while glaring sharply, Cheongsu Dojang responded with a smile that oozed charm.
“So, Namgung Do-nim’s sword seems to be much lighter than the Namgung family sword I heard from Taesajo? Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Cheongsu Dojang was not being sarcastic, but was just expressing what he felt.
“You’re talking so carelessly about having a pierced snout.”
Namgung Jincheon, with blood on his forehead, curled his sword and held it, radiating energy.
What can I say about the dance that followed?
‘It’s a dragon and tiger.’
Mujin smiled happily as the two continued their fierce duel.
Of course, he was not happy about Namgung Jincheon’s growth.
‘In the novel, he was second-in-command for 10,000 years.’
Cheongsu Dojang, which had barely any importance, was now fighting with Namgung Jincheon.
Namgung Jincheon became stronger than he appeared in the novel.
Namgung Jincheon, who has blood on his forehead, closes his mouth, and swings his sword as if he is going to kill.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!! You can swing a little harder!”
The two continued laughing endlessly, laughing as if they were dying of joy.
“Hwaaaaaap!!”
Namgung Jincheon, who could no longer bear it, raised his sword to perform the Emperor Sword style.
At the same time, a huge energy wave spreads in all directions, entangling the Qing Shui seal, and all the sword energy is accumulating on Nangong Jincheon’s sword.
The sword energy accumulates to become a sword, and before the sword accumulates again to create a sword.
“We can’t leave it like that!”
Cheongsu Dojang, who succeeded in sending away Namgung Jincheon’s energy waves, was crushed by Namgung Jincheon and unleashed a straight killing sword again.
Namgung Jincheon hurriedly swung the swordsman, who was unable to master the sword.
bang!!
After the dust that had risen from the heavy drinking had cleared, the Cheongsu seal, with his eyes filled with laughter, was standing unharmed with a smile on his face.
And the moment when the two men are about to clash again.
“stop!”
Dokgopae, who was watching the bimu, announced the end of the bimu.
“If things continue like this, one of the two will have to die. Since there are people who haven’t participated in the competition yet, how about holding a draw first and letting the others participate? “If there is no one who can defeat Cheongsu Dojang and Nangong Sogaju until the end, then I will let the two dance again to the end.”
However, even after Dokgopae finished speaking, no one dared to come forward.
Because they watched the two dance together, everyone clearly felt that their level was lacking.
Of all the dogs, the ones with the most shit-chewing faces are the anti-Shaolin Alliance people. The volcano, the fortune telling, and the faces of Cheongseong and Amipah were all worth seeing.
– Shouldn’t at least one person step forward?
– The formation is wrong. I don’t know if it would be better if the Ambassador was in the Blue Dragon Order, but I think it would be a little difficult for us.
– In this way, I think it would be better to hope that Namgung Jincheon wins.
They exchanged messages and prayed for Namgung Jincheon’s victory.
Since Namgung Jincheon was on the neutral side anyway, it would have been better to approach with the idea of attracting the neutral side.
But there was one thing they overlooked.
In fact, Namgung Jincheon, whom they were expecting, was staring intently at somewhere.
It wasn’t just Namgung Jincheon. Cheongsu, who was dancing with him, was also looking in the same direction with a face full of anticipation.
Is it because their gazes were explicit?
The eyes of those who were wondering if anyone would step forward after seeing that huge dance, naturally followed the two.
And where everyone’s eyes were focused, Mujin stood.
Only then did they remember.
The fact that we both lost to Mujin at the Yongbong branch three years ago.
However, if you think about it the other way around, it was a meeting that had been held for as long as three years.
Meanwhile, the skills of Cheongsu Dojang and Namgung Jincheon had improved several levels.
‘Really, will Shaolin Dragon be able to defeat those two?’
‘Aren’t those two actually stronger now?’
It is a fight in which the position of the best political faction leader can be reversed, or Shaolin Shinryong can solidify his position.
In the gaze of everyone’s mixed expectations, excitement, concerns, and anxiety.
“Tsk.”
Mujin clicked his tongue lightly and stepped forward, thinking about such thoughts.
‘But Cheongsu. Aren’t you on the same side as me?’
For some reason, Mujin felt like he was going out to fight.
