◈ Sejak (2)
“Huh. It seems they are determined to turn Murim into a sea of blood. Amitabha Buddha.”
“Infinite Buddha. “How could you plan such a terrible plan without going crazy?”
All of the people here were aware of the seriousness of the situation because they had been living in the martial arts community for a long time.
The moment when Mujin kills Namgung Jincheon, the head of Namgung’s small family and his direct descendant. Namgung Sega and Shaolin would become irreversible enemies of Bul Daecheon.
And if the Namgung family participated in this war, some of the neutral powers that were watching might additionally side with the Namgung family.
“Hmm. But I don’t know why they were aiming for murder while on duty rather than assassination.”
It was Jegal Jin-hee who answered the puzzled question of the Jongnam faction elder.
“It was probably done to deceive us.”
“What do you mean, fooling us too?”
“If Monk Mujin suddenly assassinates Namgung Jincheon, wouldn’t we also think it strange? However, if the murder occurred by mistake while on duty, Shaolin would naturally try to protect Monk Mujin, and in the end, it would inevitably become a group-to-group problem, not an individual problem.”
“Huh.”
While we were all drooling together. The elder of the Sichuan Tang family let out a faint exclamation as if he had realized something.
“Huh. “Perhaps, the gathering of the later indices of each wave this time itself may be intended to cast a spell on the Shaolin Divine Dragon.”
At the words of the Sacheondanga elder, everyone’s eyes were focused on him.
“You said that there is a high probability that the Demonic Cult that has risen this time is also a puppet of those so-called Shincheons, right? In that case, it may be that the movement of the Four Gods or the Demonic Cult itself was intended to bring the Shaolin Divine Dragon into the Murim Alliance and cast a spell on it.”
“It seems like a story with plenty of potential. Amitabha Buddha.”
“One, if Shaolin Godlong or we could have rejected the Murim Alliance’s request for support, right?”
When Elder Palgyeol of Openness refuted this, Zhuge Jinhui answered the question on behalf of the Elder of the Four Heavenly Dang Schools.
“If Monk Mujin or we had not participated in this meeting, we would have planned things differently. “What would have happened if the Reaper Corps had been formed without us and had been meeting regularly?”
“… … “I think friendships were fostered between forces other than us.”
“Not only that, we would have been labeled as unscrupulous people who even turned a blind eye to the actions of the Demonic Cult for personal gain.”
“Huh. I almost got caught up in a scam. “If only the Shaolin Divine Dragon had eaten that Yin-Yang Go.”
At Elder Palgyeol’s words, the eyes of those gathered at the meeting were focused on Mujin.
Yongbongjihoe’s winning prize, Perennial Snow Ginseng, was destroyed rather than eaten because it was unpleasant.
When I first heard the story, it seemed like a crazy person, but when it came to it, I found it really believable.
“yes. And that’s not all. Monk Mujin’s improvisation of pretending to be under a spell rather than ending the situation by destroying the perennial snow ginseng can be seen as the best move. Because of this, he learned the purpose of his enemies and even caught them off guard.”
“That sounds right.”
“Even this is not the end. “Through this incident, we learned that the man named Dokgopae and the old man are Shincheon’s minions, so if we track them down, we might find the body hiding in the Murim Alliance.”
As Zhuge Jinhui logically praised Mujin’s achievements, the people gathered at the meeting looked at Mujin with admiration.
With an expression of admiration for Mujin’s heart.
‘… … ‘Why are you praising me like this?’
I just improvised a bit of acting, but I didn’t expect Mujin to turn me into such a good thing.
“Ha ha ha ha ha. Rather than correcting the Dokgo faction there, I thought it would be better to take advantage of the enemy’s illusion.”
Mujin was not the type of person who would feel embarrassed by receiving a little praise.
“It was a great decision. “Shincheon are skilled at cutting off tails, so it would be better to use them to find a bigger stem rather than targeting Dokgopae.”
“Then, from now on, I guess I’ll have to track every move of Blue Dragon leader Dokgopae and the old shaman.”
“Okay. It’s a pity that I’m Murim blind. “There are almost no beggars within the Murim Alliance.”
Elder Palgyeol of Openness, who was usually in charge of collecting information in the alliance, clicked his tongue as if he was disappointed.
In response to his reaction, Zhuge Jinhui opened his mouth in a calm tone.
“You don’t have to worry. “There are only a handful of people within the Murim Alliance who can plan something like this.”
“Why is that so? “Jegal Sogaju.”
“If our reasoning is correct, they must have intentionally made Monk Mujin and Namgung Jincheon belong to the same Blue Dragon Order. It is probably for the same reason that Dokgopae was appointed as the leader of the Blue Dragon. In the end, it means that there is a person with enough power at the table to make plans and decide on the organization of personnel called the Shinigami Corps.”
“Hmm. “If you think about it, it seems that hiding loneliness in the winning prize of the Yongbong Branch is something that not just anyone can do.”
“yes. The only person who can do something like this is the Murim lord Wei Ji-hak or the general general Zhuge Wu-hwan. Or, the only ones left are the closest people who can directly influence their decisions.”
In response to her explanation, Elder Bajie of Openness scratched his head and said.
“Then, I guess we can find the one among them that the Dokgo group is secretly in contact with.”
“yes. But it’s true that we don’t have time. “After the next meeting, it will be revealed that Monk Mujin was acting.”
* * *
We decided to keep quiet about everything that came out of today’s meeting.
Shincheon’s minions were hiding everywhere, but even if it was the leadership, there might have been at least one among the lower-level disciples.
No, even if there was no Sejak among the disciples, if they were talking among themselves, someone else might hear the conversation.
And Mujin left the meeting.
“Write it. Phew.”
He was devoted to his iron work without any hesitation. When the mind was complicated, iron was the best.
Today, I conducted self-training for about an hour, and as an instructor, I taught the Blue Dragon members about bodyweight exercises.
‘Bodyweight exercises don’t do any good to your muscles.’
Mujin was in such a state that he couldn’t live without a piece of iron worth hundreds of pounds.
Meanwhile.
At a time when Mujin was busy exercising.
“Seup. Phew.”
Similar breathing sounds could be heard in the Namgung family’s manor.
The person making that sound was none other than Namgung Jincheon.
“Did it move like this?”
During self-training, he had memorized all the movements that Mujin had taught the Blue Dragon members by secretly spying on them.
The reason was simple. Mujin’s mighty power that overwhelms him. I was wondering if this external attack training method might be the epicenter of that monstrous power.
If there’s just a problem, we’ll call Mujin together and say, ‘Instructor!’ My pride wouldn’t allow me to call him and train with him.
Just like that, Namgung Jincheon was immersed in training today, burning his desire to win against Mujin.

“Seup. Phew.”
Without even knowing that there are people trying to take advantage of his life.
* * *
The next morning.
Mujin, Zhuge Jinhui, and Mugung headed to the Murim Alliance earlier than the others.
Since the three were selected as vice-captains of each group, they were to participate in the military council of the Murim Alliance.
In particular, Mugung, who did not participate in yesterday’s meeting, seemed to have no idea what was going on and felt heavy on his shoulders.
“Why does a monk like gamtu so much?”
“W-what are you talking about? “You like gamtu.”
It was just funny to see him trying so hard to pretend it wasn’t the case.
“Yeah, well, it’s better than having Muyul become the leader.”
“Sniff. Anyway, isn’t it a bit too much to compare him to Priest Muhyul?”
The two of them had a trivial conversation, and for a moment, Jegal Jinhee walked away with a faint smile.
The three people’s steps naturally came to a halt due to the strong sense of life being conveyed.
Looking in the direction where I felt the life, I saw a swordsman called Jeomchang Jeil Gijae. Ilhwi Dojang was glaring at them as if they were going to kill them.
“Tsk.”
Mujin recognized the other person and clicked his tongue lightly.
Since that guy became the vice-captain of the main operation group, it seemed likely that we would continue to see each other at military conferences and leadership meetings in the future.
Anyone who has experienced it will know that being constantly entangled with a person who blatantly dislikes you is tiring in many ways.
‘It would be easier if I could just fight and get rid of it.’
Since I couldn’t kill the guy who was on my side and had been brought in in the middle of the Murim Alliance, I felt like my spirit would be eaten away for no reason.
Mugung and Zhuge Jinxi must have come to a similar conclusion, as all three sighed at the same time and walked forward again.
And Ilhwi Dojang, a few steps behind them, headed towards the hall where the military conference was being held, just like them.
However, perhaps because they came a little early, there were quite a few empty seats when they arrived.
Meanwhile, there were some who arrived earlier than Mujin’s group, and Dokgopae was among them.
“Vice-captain. I guess you came pretty early. “Please sit down here.”
It was Dokgopae beckoning towards Mujin. Looking in front of where he was sitting, there was a piece of paper with the words [Blue Dragon] written on it.
It seemed that there were separate seats reserved for the leader and vice-leader of the Shinigami Corps.
Zhuge Jinxi and Mugung also quickly went to the seats where the white tiger and Hyeonmu symbols were written and sat down.
And as time passed, all the empty seats were filled.
“The Lord and Commander-in-Chief eat it.”
Finally, Wei Jihak and Zhuge Wuhuan appeared.
‘There is a high probability that it is either one of those two or a close associate of those two.’
Mujin organized his thoughts in his head, being careful not to be noticed by the Dokgo group sitting right next to him.
Meanwhile. Zhuge Wuhuan stepped in front of the map and tapped the map with his stick and spoke.
“Then, let me briefly explain the Reaper’s first mission. First of all, this is where traces of those suspected of being part of the Demonic Cult Forces appeared. It is near Sidalmok Basin in Cheonghae. The Kunlun Sect is currently in charge of preliminary investigation, and our Murim Alliance and Envoy Corps are scheduled to depart in two days. “If the traces really belong to the Demonic Cult military force, and if they still remain in Cheonghae, there will probably be an exchange of fire.”
Zhuge Wuhuan began to explain what each group must prepare for the remaining two days.
And the route scheduled to travel to Cheonghae after departure. When I finally arrived in Cheonghae. He continued his explanation of when he encountered the Demonic Cult.
“As for the engagement with the Demonic Cult, since the investigation has not yet been completed, I will conclude by briefly explaining the larger framework.”
Mu-jin listened intently to Zhuge Mu-hwan’s explanation in suspense, hoping that something suspicious would come out in it, but there was nothing of note.
‘Tsk. ‘These are obvious stories.’
While Mujin clicks his tongue inwardly, feeling disappointed. The military conference was thought to have ended in vain.
“ah. Also, I have special instructions for the Blue Dragon, so would you please stay for a moment?”
After the meeting, Zhuge Mu-hwan caught Mu-jin and Dok-go-pae as they got up.
“hmm. “It is time for the members to gather in the training hall, so I think we should leave the leadership to the vice leader.”
“If you do that, only the Dokgopae leader can remain.”
After hearing Zhuge Mu-hwan’s answer, he spoke to Dok Go-pae Mu-jin.
“Please lead the training like you did yesterday. “Vice-captain.”
“yes. “Captain.”
Mujin answered, trying hard to control his gaze, and left the conference room.
* * *
When Mujin arrived at the training hall alone, about forty people, including disciples of the Jongnam faction, welcomed Mujin.
“Instructor!”
Mujin smiled lightly at the sight of Hellin insisting on teaching him how to exercise and then said.
“Well, since we trained our lower body yesterday, let’s try to build our arms and chest today.”
While trying to ignore Namgung Jincheon’s intense gaze.
‘Stop staring. Hey.’
Namgung Jincheon memorized Mujin’s training methods by sight and then returned to his lodgings in the evening to practice.
‘It’s not like that crazy guy wanted to die.’
It was a difficult look in many ways for Mujin, who received Shincheon’s instructions to kill that guy.
at that time. As if they had finished their conversation with Zhuge Mu-hwan, Dok Go-pae was seen entering the training hall.
“Hmm… … .”
He glanced at the sights of the training hall and opened his mouth.
“Now that I think about it, the meeting to select the vice-captain was completed in just three rounds, so there might be some dissatisfied members. “If there is anyone who is interested in the position of vice-leader, you may apply for the position of deputy leader Shaolin Shinryong.”
As soon as Dokgopae finished speaking, Namgung Jincheon’s eyes, which were already glaring hotly at Mujin, began to burn even more.
Dokgopae, who did not miss the sight, added his words and at the same time sent a message to Mujin.
“I will also give a chance to the Cheongsu Dojang and Nangung Sogaju, who were defeated yesterday.”
– If Namgung Jincheon steps forward this time, do what he said yesterday.
Although he didn’t show it on the outside, Mujin felt like he was burning inside.
I thought there would be an end to this for at least a few days, but I never thought it would happen so quickly.
