At the time, the party was busy clearing up the things left behind by Black Sillyeon.
In Cheonghae, an all-out war between Kunlun and the Heavenly Demon Church had already broken out, as predicted by Taeheo and Hyeonso of the Communal Sect.
thud!!
“Disciples of the main sect, do not hesitate to attack the demons!”
A mature guru who stamps his feet vigorously and at the same time utters a voice so profound that it feels as if the surrounding air is shaking. He had hands and a face full of scars, which was not typical of a Taoist, and a muscular physique that was not even covered by a rather large gi.
Kunlun sect’s long text, Ma Xian (魔仙) Qu Yun.
Uncharacteristic for the leader of the Daebangpa faction, who puts effort into cultivating his body in the mountains, his nickname has the word ‘demonic’ attached to it. This was because Kunlun’s martial arts had become so practical and powerful that it was no longer considered Taoist.
Taoist martial arts were usually created to pursue deep principles. Even in simple movements, he tried to contain the law of all things rather than killing power, and through the accumulated enlightenment he learned from martial arts, he tried to reach the Tao (道). Once you realize the principles of martial arts, you will naturally gain power, and for hundreds of years, the masters of the Taoist school, known as the Old School, have made a name for themselves throughout the world by steadily building up martial arts, even if it seems slow.
However, unlike other temples, Kunlun did not have enough time to protect its sprouts so that they could grow sufficiently to become large trees. This is because the Xinjiang Cheonma Shinyo Church is located nearby. A place with unbelievably enormous power in a single wave.
Originally, they were said to have made great contributions when this country was founded. He helped King Taejo overthrow the existing dynasty. But was it Tosagupin? It is currently unknown whether or not it was because of the true circumstances of the Mumin, but Taejo, who established the country and took power, mobilized the imperial army, the Jeongdo Murim faction, and various Murim clans to drive out the Heavenly Demon God Religion to Xinjiang.
Out of resentment at that time, the Church of the Heavenly Demon took aim at the central martial arts group. The ambition to completely destroy the martial arts, destroy the lives of the common people, and eventually destroy this country itself – but that was also a story from hundreds of years ago. As generations passed, the truth became increasingly faint, and the current Heavenly Demon Church is nothing more than a martial arts faction dreaming of advancing into the central plains. The goal is to create a world of magic where those who have mastered magic are not ostracized and the strong are highly revered.
The same goes for the old faction, which has become lighter. The reason for the conflict in the first place has now become blurred, and the only thing that still remains clear is the instructions passed down from the ancestors. Don’t let the devils set foot on this land.
The battle between Jeongdo and Mado has such a long history. So much so that even those who fight forget the reason.
Over time, the balance between the two sides has been shaken but never broken. Until Yoo Gil-jun, the Black Snake Master, turned the nine major waves into six waves.
And in the magic world, a power-saving technique comparable to the black sand spell has appeared.
Ma Gwang Cheonju Yeon Yeon-hyeok left his position as Sogyoju of the Heavenly Demon Church and founded the Demon Gate Clan in the middle of the martial forest in the central plains.
Jeong Do Moorim, whose power had already been greatly weakened by Heuk Sa Yeonju Yoo Gil-jun, was hasty in not being able to touch Ma Gwang-cheon. Because it could have been like inviting the Heavenly Demon Church to the central plain. Moreover, we had to keep in mind Sacheon, which had become Sado World. Heuksa-ryeon did not seem to have the will to further increase her power, but even if she knew what was going on in the water of ten roads, she would not know what was inside the people of one road. There was no guarantee that Yu Gil-jun, who had already annihilated three of the nine factions and completely defeated the Jeongdo forces, would not take advantage of the remaining six factions to attack while they were weakened.
In addition, it was a widely known fact that the level of military power of Sado Bangpa had drastically improved due to the martial arts that Yu Gil-jun had spread while expanding his power. A representative example is Makinhu of the Taeeulmuk Sword Sect – he was originally a lay disciple of the Shaman sect, but when he committed himself to the Heuksaryeon, the shaman sent a Taecheong Swordsman. He said that Maginhu’s martial arts foundation was in shamanism, so as a monk, he should recover his martial arts skills. However, the Taecheong swordsmen, who were no different from the elite of shamans, were killed at the hands of Mak In-hu. This is proof that the martial arts achievements of Maginhu, who learned martial arts bestowed by Heuksaryeonju Yu Gil-jun, were deeper than those of the shaman Bonsan disciples. The shaman did not send anyone after that. Not only was it difficult to accurately estimate Makinhu’s accomplishments, but sending a master capable of killing him could easily offend the Lord of the Black Stars.
In any case, these situations were intertwined, making him the current powerhouse. The landscape changed once again due to the Sacheondanga, but it was still unknown to the world.
Kunlun, as a Bangpa at the forefront of Jeongdo Murim, felt the power of the Heavenly Demon Church becoming stronger more clearly than anyone else. Among the nine sects, this is the place that attracts the most disciples, but also has the most disciples dying. Kunlun did not have the luxury of leisurely pondering logic and waiting for the new sprouts to reach maturity in their martial arts achievements.
Since the safety of the sect and the lives of his students were at stake right now, Kunlun began to refine Jaffa martial arts little by little in a practical way. So that you can kill your enemies and defend yourself even if your achievements are not that deep. There were certainly things that would be lost in the process of such change. However, that doesn’t mean they are more valuable than life — that’s how Kunlun was creating his own path.
‘There is no end’
Masun Goun thought as he watched the Demon Cultists rushing in like the tide with shouts. The scale is different from the local wars that have taken place so far. It can even be seen that there are proper Demonic Cult military units here and there, rather than just chaff. Is it because I was pressured by that momentum? The agitation of young students who have not yet experienced a few battles is noticeable. Actually, he himself was afraid when he first encountered the demon cultists. This energy, which comes from the demonic energy that demonic cultists exude, had a tendency to make people feel intimidated just by coming into contact with it unless their cultivation was deep enough.
‘How many more people will die!’
Qu Yun glanced at his disciples with a somber expression. If he fights without any strength left, the sacrifices of his disciples will be extremely small. But he couldn’t do that. This is because he knows that there are many strong people who have not yet been sent away from the Demonic Cult. He may have used too much of his strength against random people and was unable to handle an enemy that really needed all his strength. Perhaps the Demonic Cult is aware of this fact and is leading them to a war of attrition like this.
‘Support should come quickly from the community.’
Together with Kunlun, they had been confronting demonic religions for a long time – unlike Kunlun, they developed martial arts in the direction of maximizing the supernormal abilities of Pasha. It was the communal martial arts that exerted overwhelming power against those who had mastered the magic arts. In particular, the magic sword method, which can be said to be the essence, was famous even among the magicians. Their arrival would definitely be of great help.
Until then, I have to hold on somehow – with that promise, Gokun flew up. No matter how much he had to conserve his strength, he had no intention of just watching his disciples die. You have to do what you can. It is efficient to make a preemptive attack to suppress the momentum and boost the spirit of the disciples.
Gokun, who was soaring with the hem of his uniform fluttering, took steps in the air. Surprisingly, every time he takes a step, the new model sways back and forth and rises.
Cloud Dragon Great Eight Forms – It was a sacred method of the Kunlun school, so named because it looked like a dragon playing in the clouds. It was also one of the few divine laws in the world that made staying in the air possible.
Gokun, who reached the sky in eight steps, truly had the appearance of a immortal.
‘Samcheongok heart strength’
As he repeats this to himself, a huge blue energy appears on both of Gokun’s arms. It is a pure history that has been diligently built up over several decades based on the Samcheongsin Gong (三淸神功). Gokun did not necessarily condense his energy. This is because we know that the Samcheong Jade Heart Tension is strong and martial arts, and cannot be blocked anyway unless one has reached the realm of peace. Rather, it is right to aim for mass destruction by striking directly over a wide area, even if the power is slightly halved.
I felt like the blue energy was getting a little lighter.
Qu Yun poured out the energy from his arms onto the ground beneath his feet,
Coming soon! A sound that seemed to shake the heavens and earth erupted. There were over 100 casualties all at once. Confusion and screams overwhelm the Heavenly Demon Church. The Kunlun faction figures do not miss that moment and rush in with shouts. Both sides clash with such ferocious force that, if not for the uniforms they are wearing, you would not know which one is the Heavenly Demon God Church.
Thus, the Bangpa war between the Heavenly Demon Church and Kunlun began in earnest.
****
Meanwhile.
The support forces of the Communist Party and the Sichuan Party were quickly crossing the Cheonghae.
Taeheo and Hyeonso received a long order to take three Tang forces and go to war as soon as they arrived at Dongpa. There was a letter from Kunlun requesting help again, saying that it seemed like an all-out war with the Demonic Cult would break out at any moment.
The other elders of the Tang family thought so because the situation was urgent, but Elder Lee Tang Myeong-shin thought that things were not going as planned. His original plan was to escape with Geonjeongdae before reaching the Gongpa faction. He was going to turn his back on the family anyway, so there was no need for him to help the group.
He thought that in the future, he would be pushed out of the family and exploited in this way, and even the little power he had left would be completely lost. If that was going to happen, I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to leave my family first and find a new home. Sacheon is a sado-cheon, and the family is surrounded by apostolic factions under the Black Lion, so they wouldn’t even be able to dream of tracking him down. Tang Ji-hye, the head of the family, and Yeon Myeong, the head of the small family, had both become powerful enough to be difficult to surpass, so after much deliberation, Tang Myeong-shin decided to turn his back on the family.
However, escaping was not as easy as expected. First of all, Taeheo’s senses were so sensitive that it was almost impossible to escape his gaze, and once he arrived at Dongpa, he had to go on a campaign without any time to spare.
Although Tae Heo said that the Tang family would be in charge of providing rear support and eliminating the remnants, Tang Ming Xin did not fully trust his words. This is because they know that depending on how the Bangpa War progresses, their duties will inevitably change. I don’t know if it’s the first time, but if the war situation turns out to be inferior, of course they could be placed on the front line. If you fight against demons like that, you could lose your life.
‘It will never go your way!’
Tang Mingxin’s eyes shone fiercely as he muttered to himself. Although he was a man of a martial arts family, he had been pursuing the sweetness of power for a long time under the protection of the Black Silent, but his mind was gradually becoming distorted due to his repulsion against Sogaju’s natural name.
It gave off a dangerous smell that suggested something was about to happen, but the people around it were barely able to detect the smell, as if their sense of smell had already been paralyzed.
Just focus on running.
