Episode 399 The Cross of Absurdity (5)
“Lord Moon.”
“Are you here?”
“How have you been?”
“I’m busy, I used to be like that too. “There’s no need to kneel down and the bed is soft, so what’s not to like?”
“If you feel like you are chewing grains of sand even when you are presented with a variety of delicacies, and if you feel like lying on the dirt floor even when you are lying on a silk bed, then how can that be called a comfortable life?”
“Haha, while I haven’t seen you, your taste has increased.”
“Lord Moon has also become much brighter. Fortunately, the.”
“Actually, you are right. “It was hard to endure without laughing like this.”
“I didn’t really need to say that.”
“sorry. “It’s all our fault.”
“There are subordinates who suffer because of an ugly leader, but there is no leader who suffers because of hard-working subordinates.
“I know very well that you have suffered more than me.”
“no.”
“It’s okay. It’s been a while since we met, so don’t ruin the mood by talking like this.”
“yes.”
“So what happened to what I asked you to find out?”
“I looked into everything, but….”
“There are some things I’m not sure about.”
“That’s right. “I am not sure about two of the orders given by Lord Mun.”
“Then let’s listen to that first.”
“First of all, the whereabouts of Lord Uicheon.”
“Report.”
“At the time, the Uicheon Alliance leader who was at the main camp of the Uicheon Alliance suddenly disappeared.
If he was dead, there should be a body, and if he was alive, the alliance should be taken care of, but he disappeared like a ghost.
Even the remaining intelligence corps of the Uicheon Alliance tried to find traces, but there was no trace. “There was no trace.”
“That’s right. That’s why there was a lot of talk about whether Lord Uicheon followed the Cheonma and evaporated without leaving a single piece of flesh behind in the Cheonma’s attack.”
“That’s right. But after investigating, it turns out that Lord Uicheon was not attacked by the Heavenly Demon.”
“Are you sure?”
“That part is clear. “The testimony of the Murimmaeng outer fortress guards is consistent.”
“What about testimony?”
“It is said that when Cheonma disappeared leaving behind only Gonryongpo, Lord Uicheon was standing in front of him.”
“Standing?”
“That’s right. They say it didn’t seem like they shared hands.”
“Hmm.”
“But his whereabouts after that have not been found. Of course, if an expert of that level makes a move, the question is who would be able to chase him down…” “The question is,
is there really a need for him to disappear so suddenly?”
“That’s right. That’s why I wonder. There’s a high probability that he’s alive, but I don’t know where he is or why he disappeared without saying a word if he’s still alive.”
“That’s right.”
“yes. “I think we need to do more research on this.”
“That’s right. What about the second one?”
“The silence of the Iron Blood Lord.”
“……I thought that was probably the case.”
“Yes. Lord of the Iron Blood Castle, Suraje Sanggeumbaek, is a strong and strong man. He is respected by the Safa people for his unique and generous nature. He is
even evaluated as having more masters who took under his command due to his personality than his martial skills. “It’s a remittance bag.”
“yes.”
“He doesn’t have any reaction to this situation? That’s absolutely impossible.
Song Sang-baek is extravagant yet moderately worldly and has a strong sense of pride. As a Safaan, he hates anything that looks weak, even to death.”
“Yes, that’s why I gave the order. “
If he were to find out why the Lord of the Iron Blood Castle was silent, he would have had to prepare for a war to destroy the demonic cult that cut off his hands and feet, or
at the very least, condemn him through public opinion.”
“I wondered about that too. “I thought that the first person to move in the central plains, which had become a crucible of chaos due to the Nakjeong Hyeolsa and the Gwangma Hyeolsa, would be the Lord of the Iron Blood Castle.”
“You’re still silent. And you can’t figure out why?”
“Yes. But that tells me one thing.”
“Sanghyeongseong is exactly what it means: Geum Baek is plotting something.”
“That’s right. Although the main text and the Iron Blood Castle do not have a friendly relationship, they have occasionally provided mutual assistance.
So, this time we tried to contact them through the back alleys, but the exchange of documents from all information organizations related to them was controlled.”
“hmm.”
“This is just my opinion… but is it possible that the Iron Blood Lord is scared?”
“Are you scared?”
“That’s right. The Demon Cultist of the time, or rather the now-vanished Heavenly Demon of the previous era, achieved an incredible feat on his own.
The incident of Nakjeong Hyeolsa will probably be recorded in history as an unprecedented blood slayer.”
“…….”
“Moreover, the Western Sogyo also showed that it is not lacking at all as the successor to the Heavenly Demon.
Although it lost its leader, the power of the Demonic Cult of the time is unprecedentedly strong. Moreover, the Iron Blooded Cult is strong. The Lord of Seong saw the divine power of the Heavenly Demon right in front of his eyes…”
“That can’t be possible.”
“……”
“As I said, Song Zhengbaek is a person who is generous but also has a strong sense of pride. I also know what aspects of myself work well with the Safa people under my command.
No matter how scared he is, he still holds his breath and watches the situation unfold? “There’s no way that would happen.”
“According to what Moonju said, even if he was really scared, he would have acted more aggressively just to let people know that he wasn’t scared.”
“yes. In the end, both Uicheon Lord and Iron Blood Lord are showing moves that go beyond common sense.”
“That’s right.”
“This is the first time I’ve ever been this vague.
“I can’t imagine how the world will turn in the future as the two giants who control the Jungwon Moorim are making incomprehensible moves.”
“Lord Moon.”
“You tell me.”
“If the situation had turned out like this… You would have returned to Him now when the Uicheon Alliance had collapsed…”
“No.”
“You still don’t know where Lord Uicheon is or what his plans are.
It’s a situation where we haven’t even confirmed whether he’s alive or dead, but if you return to him as if you’ve been waiting for him at a time like this, Lord Uicheon will once again deal a huge blow to the text.”
“He has lost most of his foundation. Now he will not have the strength or the spirit to touch the text.”
“Don’t jump to conclusions. The Uicheon leader I saw next to me was a person who could exert tremendous influence on the world even if the entire Uicheon League evaporated.
Besides, he still has seven sects with him, excluding Shaolin and Shaman.”
“That’s true.”
“It was not the troops of the Uicheon Alliance that blocked the main gate, but the Chilpa.
Their power is still strong. Moreover, if the Lord Uicheon returns, he will most likely return after making many preparations.
For his sake, I will remain attached to the Lord Uicheon until then. “I like it.”
“Do you think it will take long?”
“well. I guess that time isn’t that far away. “Until then, you’ll have to work hard.”
“of course.”
“It’s been a while since I last saw you, but even walls have ears. I’ll contact you again later. See you then.”
“Yes, Master Moon. Until we see you next time, please take care of your health.”
“You too.”
Slurp.
As soon as the man disappeared, the person called Munju sighed.
“It’s really difficult at a time when we need to move quickly.”

Red Pine took a deep breath.
“The air is definitely different.” The cold
was at its peak in the north. With spring just around the corner, General Dong was exerting his last strength, driving down the cold wind and
heavy snow. However, as we entered the Honam region, the cold definitely became less severe.
The further south you go, the better the climate becomes . The temperature is getting warmer and the humidity is rising.
Although the level of invulnerability to cold weather has long since been surpassed, I still feel better after coming to a warm place on a winter day.
But…’
Red pine looked at the distant peak.
‘True. It’s so hideous.’
Hyeongsan Mountain in the Honam region was a famous mountain among the famous mountains, considered one of the Five Mountains of the Middle East.
From such a famous mountain, an energy of brutality beyond imagination was radiating out.
This energy, which is difficult to feel even for ordinary people or even experts, is already similar to that of a martial artist. It was filled with extremely high-density energy that only a master who transcended consciousness could emit.
Not only that. Although it
was hard to see because of the deadly force of Cheonoecheon, hundreds of masters around him were emitting tremendous magical energy.
However , The magical energy of so many masters was just obscured by the energy radiating from one absolute person.
Red Pine’s eyes deepened.
‘You’ve become much stronger than before. And…’
It became sinister.
This overwhelming energy wave Living with nothingness, emotions such as sadness and madness were swirling around.
And it felt like all of those emotions were tightly blocked by a ray of reason.
‘It must be worth it.’
Red Pine’s body sighed and disappeared on the spot.
His divine method of folding and moving through space was the divine technique of geumgang immovability (????), which is said to be the best divine law of Shaolin.
In the martial arts martial arts world, it is called Demon Emperor’s Limbo (????) It is evaluated as the best new method of the political faction that can only compete with the ?).
The speed of movement of Red Pine, which had mastered such a new method to its peak, was hard to believe even with the naked eye.
Tu! Tuuuung!
After passing several peaks in an instant, finally. A red pine stood in front of a peak where evil energy was swirling.
It was then.
Huh.
I could feel a strong ray of anticipation between the rocks far below the peak.
He was an amazing expert. The anticipation of a teenage expert was as strong as that of a ruinous expert. It was radiating the majesty of a magic sword boasting of its power.
‘Is it a demon?’
Jeoksong’s guess was correct.
The demon who seemed to be walking at a steady pace, but soon arrived beyond the 10th chapter, was an old swordsman with a physique like an iron tower. The
old swordsman, Iron Sword Majon, bowed his head.
“See you, Jeoksong, iron sword.”
“Nice to meet you. “It is an iron sword that you are said to be most familiar with in kendo (??) among the Magon.”
“That is too much praise.”
He is blunt.
Even though the paths he walks are different, it is difficult to find someone who does not respect the name of Jeongmu Ssangshin. Not only the Safa people but also the masters of the Demonic Martial Forest also respect Jeongwussangshin. Nevertheless, the
face of the Iron Sword Demon shows respect for others. It was hard to see.
‘It’s like a well-edged sword. It’s rough yet upright, so the title of iron sword really suits it.’
Red Pine opened his mouth,
“Please guide me.”
“Follow your junior.”
The Iron Sword Mazon turned and climbed the peak.
Red Pine followed behind him and looked around.
Demons were waiting all over the peak. Instead of being lined up, they seemed to be dispersed and watching over the entire mountain.
Red Pine asked . .
“What about Seo So-gyo? I heard you fought a big battle. Are you feeling okay?”
There was no answer back.
Red Pine was not embarrassed. It was easy to guess that they were in the worst mood without even thinking about it.
After walking for a long time in silence, the two reached the top.
The Iron Sword Mazon turned around.
“The leader is over there.”
Teacher?
There was surprise in Red Pine’s eyes.
“A religious leader? Seo Sogyo……”
“Just one thing.”
The Iron Sword Mazon turned around and glared at Red Pine.
Thousands of precious swords seem to be shot like arrows from the blue eyes.
Although he was only a few levels below him, Red Pine felt his heart grow cold as he looked at the Iron Sword Mazon’s eyes.
“If you disturb the leader or cause even the slightest harm to him, you will not be able to return home alive today.”
“…..”
“Enough.”
The Iron Sword Mazon went back down the path he had walked up.
Confusion appeared on Red Pine’s face as he watched him walking away.
“……A religious leader?”
