Googoo googung.
The huge yet heavy iron gate of Seonyeong slowly opens its mouth.
With a hand gesture from a moment ago, the great sorcerer, who was looking at the back of the enemies who had escaped the left and right sieges and headed towards the castle gate, parted his lips.
“Don’t you think I let it go too easily?”
“Maybe, maybe. but… … .”
The blood lord responded softly and added, gesturing at the towering castle wall.
“If we had fought straight away like this, the damage on our side would have been significant.”
The great sorcerer also agreed with that statement to some extent.
Cheonghae Castle, which belongs to the frontier among the frontiers, has been a front line prepared against possible invasion by foreign enemies since a long time ago.
Perhaps that’s why the stone wall, made of huge rocks, was incomparably harder than the central plain, and silver arrowheads were already flashing on top of it.
In addition, there is also a forest of countless spear knives visible beyond the gates of Seonyeong, which are slowly starting to open.
“The more desperate he was, the more desperately he would have struggled. “They also have teeth to bite things.”
Even a lowly rat will rush at a cat if it thinks the situation is urgent, so how can they be even more appalled?
Moreover, there are as many as seven transcendental masters.
No, if you include the mysterious person named Daein, who never came down from the castle walls, there are a total of eight.
In addition, there were Cheonghae Murim people and government troops who gathered in Seonyeong early without any significant losses, so Hyeolju’s judgment was not all that wrong.
Of course, in the Grand Wizard’s opinion, there was another reason that was most decisive for making this decision.
‘I wasn’t sure. ‘I have complete confidence that I will be able to capture Jin Tae-kyung according to his will, or perhaps even victory.’
However, the great sorcerer did not bother to say out loud the thoughts that lingered in his mind.
To her, the blood lord was a group of people she could not like at all, but even in this situation, there was no need to mess with his reversal of sharing the same master and goal.
At the same time, on the other hand, there was a partial nod to the judgment of Hyeolju, who obediently sent back Jin Tae-kyung and other transcendental masters.
“Well, it’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do. “Because I was not the first to be entrusted with the work of Cheonghae Castle by him.”
“It’s a big deal. “I can’t believe those words came out of your mouth.”
“I tend to distinguish between public life and life. “I also fully felt that it would not be an easy battle.”
There are levels even in the state of transcendence.
And in that sense, the seven transcendental masters they had surrounded just moments ago were beings far beyond the ordinary level.
Although there are parts that are slightly overshadowed by Jin Tae-kyung’s performance, it would not be strange to say that Cheongpung, the volcano god dragon, is the best of all time when it comes to innate martial talent.
Hyeon Cheon Jin-in and Cheong Heo-ja lead the two venerable Taoist branches of Gonggong and Kunlun.
Gungseong and Salseong, who do not even need any special modifiers, are the King of Fire, Jeokcheongang, who is comparable to them.
Lastly, Jin Tae-kyung, the fire god dragon who has proven through his past actions that his very existence is no different from a variable.
Looking at those overwhelming yet splendid faces, even the presence of the almost immortal black ghosts almost became blurry.
“If a battle had occurred, at least they would not have been able to avoid extinction, regardless of our safety.”
The great wizard added, pointing to the dark spirits standing silently.
“Of course, one has already melted without leaving any form.”
The blow that Jeokcheongang used with all his might was powerful. Enough to destroy even some of her defensive magic.
“In addition, if Salseong and Gungseong intervene, it would be needless to say. Moreover, Jin Tae-kyung… … “There is something that even I cannot understand.”
In the world of martial arts, the logic of power is honest.
It was natural for the strong to oppress the weak, and for the weak to be trampled by the strong.
However, according to what the great sorcerer observed, there was only one person, Jin Tae-kyung, who deviated further from that logic than anyone else.
Although he received help from those around him every time he faced a life-or-death crisis, defeating the four Demon Lords and Demon Lord was not a simple coincidence.
So much so that I can understand why they are called the chosen ones.
“I guess that’s why. “The specialness of that child is what makes him so obsessed.”
Hearing the great sorcerer’s voice containing even a faint exclamation, the blood master’s mouth twisted.
‘Obsession. It’s obsession… … .’
With a thought in his heart, he looked at the castle gate that was slowly closing.
To be exact, the back of Jin Tae-kyung disappearing between the castle gates.
And then he suddenly remembered what he said a moment ago.
‘Do you think the fishing rod hanging by the lake knows its owner’s mind?’
That wasn’t just something he said to Jin Tae-kyung.
It was a self-deprecatory question to ask oneself, and an earnest complaint addressed to the Lord who was not present.
‘Why is that guy the only one who is special to you? ‘Why on earth?’
At this moment, the person Hyeolju wanted to kill the most was not Maejonghak or Jeokcheongang, who had taken his arm away.
It was Jin Tae-kyung.
A young boy who grew into a huge tree in just over two years.
However, even though he now had deep roots and thick branches instead of bright yellow sprouts that could be trampled with a single step, his master did not allow his servants to cut down the trees.
‘Lord God. It is difficult for this foolish servant to guess what you truly want.’
fishing rod.
A fishing rod that can be replaced even if it breaks due to the force of a large fish biting the bait.
It was a time when the three words he uttered out of his own will and the meaning they contained weighed on Hyeolju’s heart especially heavily.
Buuuu!
With the sound of horns ringing out for a long time, the Podalapgung army gradually slowed down and stopped about twenty miles away.
And among the hundreds of elephants standing tall like iron towers, the largest and most ornately decorated, thirteen elephants stepped forward.
Boom, boom!
A huge shadow falls over the face of Hyeolju, who slowly raises his head.
Someone’s voice fell over the heads of the elephants that had reached the front of the blood vessel, emitting a heavy roar.
“It’s been a long time, Siju.”
It’s a slurred Chinese language that would have made anyone from the Middle East laugh out loud if they heard it.
However, the immense power and majesty in that voice was something that only a great master of a certain sect could possess, and it even contained vivid anger.

“But.”
Papad!
Thirteen new types falling to the ground with a rough sound.
At the center of it all was an old monk with a slim stature and bony joints, like a dried, twisted old tree.
“Unless the poor monk is mistaken, I think this is a situation that requires a sufficiently persuasive explanation.”
The palace lord of Podalap Palace, who ruled Sejang like a kingdom, or an old monk called Daleurama (達賴喇嘛) in their own long-standing custom, gazed at the blood master with brilliant eyes.
“Why did you let them go like that? “No matter how old Binseung was, his eyes had become blurry, but even from a distance, they were clearly unusual people.”
Hyeolju, waking up from his thoughts, turned his head and stared at the gate, which was already closed.
And he smiled kindly at Daleurama, who came with a considerable force.
“As expected, you are the lord of the palace. “You saw it correctly.”
However, despite the rare kind attitude of the blood lord, Daleurama did not smile at all.
The decisive reason why he, the head of an extremely closed religious group, responded to Amcheon’s proposal decades ago and established an alliance.
One of the biggest reasons why the chief of Podalap Palace gathered all his strength and came to Cheonghae was because it was here.
“I’m asking this out of an old woman’s will.”
Daleurama continued speaking in a tone so cold that there was not the slightest hint of indistinctness.
“Among the enemies sent back by the Lord a little while ago, were there also those that the poor monk was looking for?”
It was that moment.
The great sorcerer’s lips are sweet beyond the tightly woven silver-white cotton thread.
-I’m just saying this just in case… … do not forget. At least until we achieve our goal, Podalap Palace is a fairly useful weapon.
Before he could answer, the archmancer who had reached into his ear one step ahead of him tried to dissuade him, and the blood lord twitched the corner of his mouth without realizing it.
‘Our purpose, huh?’
That word, which would normally have been overlooked, was somehow laughable now.
Her and himself.
To some people, it’s just a fishing rod that can be replaced at any time.
‘My purpose has been one from the beginning. ‘To assist Him with all my body and mind, and to help Him reign as the Lord and Parent of the universe.’
But why?
Why on earth?
Does it seem absurd that his master, the great God, wants only one young man and not the vast world?
“under.”
I couldn’t hold it in until the end and burst out laughing.
Seeing that kind of bloodshed, Dalleuma’s eyes sank even deeper.
“I haven’t heard an answer yet.”
The blood leader responded in a humorous voice.
“Well, you’ve already guessed that, haven’t you?”
“Is that true?”
“you’re right. Fire King Jeokcheongang. And Jin Tae-kyung, the fire god dragon. Among them were the servants of Yeolhwamun, whom the palace lord had been searching for so long. Ah, now that I think about it… … .”
Hyeolju added, pointing with a straight finger at the feet of Daleurama, who was standing with a stiff face.
“I think I was right where you are standing now. Of course, this is all just a matter of time ago.”
“… … !”
“… … !”
For an instant, the surrounding air shook.
It was the energy radiated by Daleurama and the Twelve Secret Monks, who were made up of only the most powerful men in Podalap Palace.
“Are you saying they sent me back that easily? Binseung, no, even though you know how much we hate Yeolhwamun?”
A voice as dry as a heat-killing desert suddenly flowed from Daleurama’s lips.
At this moment, the ruler of the vast Xuzhang Wulin was truly angry.
Yeolhwamun.
The cursed name that everyone at Podalap Palace knows, an unforgettable name.
These are the beings who transformed Podalapgung, a Buddhist sect that was evaluated as being more aggressive than necessary, into a religious nation with powerful military power.
“You dare break your promise, what on earth is this?”
“This is so… … .”
With Hadae now becoming more natural, Hyeolju chuckled at the sight of Daleurama glaring at him with a frost-like force.
“Don’t worry, I remember it clearly. “The tearful story that is two hundred years old, and the strong promise we made to each other.”
“what?”
That was when Dalleuma opened her eyes at the indifferent answer. Hyeolju added in a soft voice.
“But, unlike me, the palace lord seems to have completely forgotten.”
“I forgot. “What is that?”
“You know best. “How much help I received from him to create what is now Podalap Palace.”
“that.”
Seeing Daleurama biting her lip, unable to continue speaking for a moment, Hyeolju clicked his tongue slightly.
“As I said before, I always keep my promises. “If the palace lord greatly contributes to capturing Jin Tae-gyeong, I will give you ample compensation, not to mention a new recruit for that old man.”
Daleurama was silent for a moment and then opened his lips heavily.
“How can you believe that?”
“Why can’t you believe it?”
“He believes. But you let them go right before the poor man’s eyes. “Even though it was a golden opportunity.”
A sneer appeared on the corner of Hyeolju’s mouth.
It was not because I was displeased with the disbelief Dalleuma was showing, but because I found it laughable that he truly thought that way.
Although it is said that there was full support from Amcheon, even taking this into account, Podalap Palace’s achievements to date are clearly strong.
Needless to say, the inaction of Daleurama, the best expert among them, is also ineffective. Even if he were to fight against one of the Ten Kings excluding Jeokcheongang, he would never be inferior.
however.
‘That’s just it. you are.’
It is not a question of whether inaction is superior or inferior.
It is a problem of the inner vessel and the person itself.
Therefore, unlike the great wizard who already knows what the blood lord expected and released them and does not say anything, Daleurama feels sorry for missing the big catch right in front of him.
“You still don’t know?”
“What on earth… … ?”
“I just wanted to make sure everything was clear. “Without even the slightest gap to escape.”
Daleurama, who was about to say something, suddenly realized something and opened her eyes wide.
“no way?”
The blood lord nodded silently.
If his prediction is correct, it will be around today.
Hundreds of ships led by the Yangtze River Meng finally entered the tributary of the Yellow River leading to the Cheonghae, and the Noklim Meng made contact with them along with the ten thousand believers who had previously joined them.
“One day, two days at the most. In that, this battle will end.”
A total of 30,000 additional troops cut through the steep currents to reach the Cheonghae and close even the slightest gap.
That was the final key to a clear victory in this battle.
It also gave Jin Tae-kyung something to think about for a day.
promise?
I had no intention of protecting it from the beginning, but deep down, I hoped that Jin Tae-kyung would not do something stupid like severing his limbs.
Only then.
Jin Tae-kyung has to be prepared to fight to the death in order to have a justification for killing him.
‘God, forgive me. Even if you don’t want it, my actions are motivated only by loyalty.’
As if confessing his own sins, Hyeolju, deeply buried in his heart, slowly opened his lips.
“therefore… … .”
He turned to Daleurama, who was looking at him with a much brighter complexion than before.
“Keep your mouth shut. “The moment you treat me poorly again, I will tear your jaws out.”
“… … !”
Looking at Daleurama, who froze for a moment, Hyeolju laughed maniacally.
Being treated like a fishing rod by someone once was enough.
