Chapter 128
Chapter 128. The Black Flame Dragon Who Takes Opportunities Away (3)
The members of the Righteous Path Association, who had staked everything on Jin So-un’s failure, were busy running around in every direction to hold back the people trying to break away because of this incident.
Even before this, those who had been alienated because of their participation in the Soul-Destroying Formation event had already left, and now even more people were showing signs of leaving.
The fact that not a single disciple of the Nine Sects and One Gang had entered the Soul-Destroying Formation in this incident caused even greater anger.
“We thought that if we followed the Righteous Path Association, we would naturally receive the same treatment as them. But that was not the case.”

“I did not expect the same treatment. In any case, we are not on the level of the Nine Sects and One Gang. Still, was it not too much for them to stand by with folded hands in front of dying Academy students?”
“The Righteous Path Association does not take responsibility for our advancement, let alone our lives.”

Because of this, Daoist Master Myeonghyeon and the other elders belonging to the Righteous Path Association were busy crossing the threshold of Murim Academy until it wore down, instead of the threshold of the Elder Hall, meeting with Academy students.
The disciples of the Nine Sects and One Gang were the greatest beneficiaries of the Righteous Path Association, and they were in a position to lead the Righteous Path Association, so there was no wavering among them.
However, from the standpoint that those who followed the Righteous Path Association made up seventy percent of the Righteous Path Association, this wavering among the Academy students could easily lead to a shrinking of their faction.
Moreover, if the events that happened this time became known to the Academy students’ sects or families, they would have to endure the anger of sects that had uprooted even their pillars to send their disciples to the Academy.
Ẅ_е̃ b̀ ñòv̄ê l̊ Е.n̆u̇ m ā
They had emptied their entire fortunes and barely managed to send one child to the Academy, only for that child to nearly be used and discarded as a consumable?
It would not be strange if they declared that advancement and all that crap could go to hell and that they were leaving the Righteous Path Association immediately.
Of course, if someone from the Righteous Path Association had held the Academy Representative position, they would not have cared in the slightest about such internal noise.
Power naturally had the force to draw people in, so even if someone left out of dissatisfaction, someone else would fill that vacancy.

But the representative position had been occupied by some fellow of unknown roadside origin, and the Nine Sects and One Gang had shown the pathetic sight of violating Academy rules and secretly trying to learn the Soul-Destroying Formation. Because of that, they were on the verge of losing even their symbolism as the representative of the Murim Alliance.
That did not mean the Orthodox Path Association and the Twelve Peak Citadels saw this matter from a completely third-party position and thought only of it as a chance to recruit those breaking away from the Righteous Path Association.

Human thoughts were all more or less the same, and the narrow-mindedness of those who had power was all similar.
They had been planning to enter the Soul-Destroying Formation after the Righteous Path Association, so they were merely watching the situation from one step back, breathing a sigh of relief after seeing a friend get beaten for showing off first.
In any case, the one struck by the greatest thunderbolt in this incident was the Righteous Path Association.
Daoist Master Myeonghyeon was moving so hard that his mouth was running dry, all to somehow clean up the shit the Academy students had taken.
“Your expulsion from the Academy has already been decided, and it cannot be overturned. However, the Righteous Path Association will certainly provide sufficient compensation for this incident.”
Even though Daoist Master Myeonghyeon, who belonged to the Murim Alliance’s highest authority and currently sat in the seat of the Righteous Path Association’s chairman, was speaking, the survivors’ reactions were lukewarm.

It was quite different from their usual attitude, when they would have sold even their parents, grandfathers, and their in-laws’ eighth cousins just to show that they had some connection to him and somehow enter his notice.
“But is your expulsion truly only your fault? Was not the person who caused the accident through an unreasonable event schedule and a narrow selection of participants largely responsible from the start?”
“…….”
“This is clearly a case where the greater sin lies with the one who did something that an Academy Representative absolutely must never do. Is it not?”
“……What should we do?”
At the sight of the survivor seeming to hold back his anger tightly, Daoist Master Myeonghyeon’s face slowly relaxed.
Е̄nů m̂ а̀.. і̀d
“Naturally, we must make him pay properly for his sin. Through this incident, we will replace the Academy Representative and select a new Academy Representative.”
Having thought he had brought the Righteous Path Association under control, Daoist Master Myeonghyeon did not stop there.

He was fundamentally someone who understood politics, and his next move was extremely political.
“Hoho, for the head of the Righteous Path Association to come all the way to this humble place, I do not know where to put myself.”
“Leaving aside the Orthodox Path Association and the Righteous Path Association, are we not already one body united by ‘chivalrous righteousness’? What does it matter who belongs where?”
Hearing Daoist Master Myeonghyeon’s detestable words, the head of the Orthodox Path Association mocked him inwardly and nodded.

“Now then, what do you want?”
“I know there are movements taking advantage of the Righteous Path Association’s current confusion to recruit members of the Righteous Path Association.”
“If we are one body to begin with, does it matter if we move our residence slightly?”
“Did we not agree to call this ‘a lack of moral duty’?”

“I am not sure. Was it not your side that often recruited sects under the Orthodox Path Association in the first place?”
“Even if our influence weakens now, are you confident the Orthodox Path Association can seize full authority?”
En̆ ŭ m ă.і̄d
“…….”
At Myeonghyeon’s piercing remark, the head of the Orthodox Path Association closed his mouth.
“I believe our present crisis is instead an opportunity.”
“……What do you want?”
“We must abolish that absurd event and remove the Academy Representative.”
“If you mean the Soul-Destroying Formation, many within the Alliance are also interested in it. We cannot abolish an event that the Grand Strategist personally allocated a budget for as we please.”

“That is why I am saying we should join forces.”
“…….”
“I also know very well that the Orthodox Path Association is displeased with the current Academy Representative. If we miss this opportunity, not only the Righteous Path Association, but also the Orthodox Path Association will be unable to take the Academy Representative position for this class.”
Jin So-un, who was practically the person responsible for the incident, had not yet awakened, but Myeonghyeon instead took this as an opportunity and pushed for a Disciplinary Committee.
“Daoist Master Myeonghyeon, the Academy Representative has not even awakened yet. Why are you already holding a Disciplinary Committee?”
“Did the Academy Representative not already publicly declare that he had nothing to do with this incident? Even if he awakens, is there a need to hear his opinion? Moreover, does this incident not correspond to a violation of Alliance Law? If it is not handled swiftly, internal confusion will intensify.”
E̊ ṅ.u m̈ а. і d̀
Daoist Master Myeonghyeon’s true intentions were obvious. However, thanks to Daoist Master Myeonghyeon and most of the elders of the Elder Hall going in and out of the Execution Pavilion every day and obstructing matters, a Disciplinary Committee was eventually held less than two days after the incident.
The committee members, filled with the influence of the Righteous Path Association, followed the script Daoist Master Myeonghyeon had written and tried to extend the problem of the incident not only to the survivors who had violated Alliance Law, but also to Jin So-un, who was responsible for the event.

At that absurd situation, Jegal So-myeong tried to dissolve the committee, but he stopped when words came from the survivors’ mouths.
“This incident is purely our own fault for violating Alliance Law out of personal greed.”
“Hm?”
Daoist Master Myeonghyeon, who was attending the committee, sensed something strange and tried to say something, but the survivors did not give him an opening and continued speaking.
Ẃ е̌b̆ n о̀ v е l̆ Е nu m̊ а
“The Academy Representative risked his life and leaped into the Soul-Destroying Formation for us, even though we tried to steal his secret. I would like to take this opportunity to offer him my thanks once again.”
Something about the situation was going strangely, but the survivors, as if united in heart, were saying things completely different from Daoist Master Myeonghyeon’s intentions.
“……Do you not feel any resentment toward the Academy Representative, who planned this incident and put you all in danger?”
A committee member planted by Daoist Master Myeonghyeon tried to lead the answer, but the survivors were firm.

“While several days passed inside the Soul-Destroying Formation, the Academy Representative could not eat even a single Fasting Pill because of us. Resentment toward someone like that? I have not lived an entirely moral life, but I am certainly not a Human-Faced Beast with the Heart of a Monster.”
“That is right!”

“If we insist on finding the cause of this incident, it would be the executives of the Righteous Path Association among the Academy students.
If they had not pushed us from behind, we would never have done something so dangerous.”
At the survivors’ words, the commotion in the hall intensified.
Not only the committee members, but even Daoist Master Myeonghyeon, who had planned and coordinated the matter, had an expression that showed he had no idea how to handle this confusion.
‘Could that expression back then have been?’
Myeonghyeon remembered the expression they had worn when he tried to persuade the survivors, as though they were suppressing their anger.

‘It was directed at me, not that bastard Jin So-un?’
“Academy students, do not speak about matters unrelated to this incident!”
The committee issued a threat, but those words instead touched the survivors’ reverse scales.
“We heard everything. They say not one person from the Righteous Path Association tried to step forward for us! I could understand the Academy students, but I never expected even the elders of the Elder Hall to act that way.”
“Be quiet! Quiet! Be quiet!”
“How much has our sect offered to you all this time? Yet you pushed us into a death ground, and when the crucial moment came, you pretended not to know us!”
Ёnûḿ ā
The survivors now shouted recklessly, as if they had nothing more to fear.
“Although our Dual Sword Sect may be a humble sect compared to the Nine Sects and One Gang, never again! Never again will we believe anything the Nine Sects and One Gang says.”

“If I had known it would be like this, I would have faithfully followed the Academy Representative from the beginning. At least he risked his life for us!”
“Be quiet! Discipline, we will impose discipline.”
What fear would Academy students already decided for expulsion have of mere disciplinary action? It only had the effect of pouring firewood into a brazier.
“My grandfather is greatly enraged by this incident.”

“Our sect will not forget this either…….”
Daoist Master Myeonghyeon could only stare foolishly at the Disciplinary Committee that had become a complete mess.
After sleeping for several days straight, when I opened my eyes, my body felt lighter than before.
I did not know who had changed my clothes, but they had been replaced with new ones, and instead of the stale smell of sweat, a soft, fresh scent came from my body.

‘Surely they did not wash me while I was asleep?’
Even after I opened my eyes, the surroundings were so quiet that I wondered whether I had awakened in the middle of the night.

That was because I had expected at least the Gold-Silver-Copper Brothers to be taking turns guarding my side, or Lady Namgung, Lady Seong Mo-ran, and the others to be nursing me beside me and then scold me at length once they saw me wake up.
However—
Chirp— chirp—
Outside the window, warm sunlight was shining down, and mountain birds were moving about diligently.
Did they go to class?
Thinking that perhaps they had not been able to stay by my side because of something like that, I tried to erase the feeling of disappointment and was about to raise my body.

“!”
When I saw a familiar back, my body flinched.
‘Why is that person here again?’
In my previous life, he had been someone whose face had been hard to see even once from afar, yet in this life, after the Iron Sword Sect, this was already my second private meeting with him.
Moreover, both times were under similar circumstances, making me feel a sense of déjà vu.
“Have you awakened?”
Еń um̊ а́ .іd
I quickly turned my head and pretended to be asleep.
Then he spoke as if muttering to himself.

“For an Academy Representative, who is practically a member of the Murim Alliance, to lie down in front of the Grand Strategist is truly irreverent. What punishment should I give?”
