Chapter 184. Rewriting the Sichuan Blood Calamity (4)
[The Righteous Path Association was attacked in Sichuan.]
When this news was first delivered, the other Elders of the Elder Council could not help sneering.
The news that a fierce competitor had tripped and smashed its nose was bound to bring a sense of fullness greater than any meal.
The members of the Orthodox Path Association and the Twelve Peak Citadels, who had felt uncomfortable with the Righteous Path Association’s paltry event, felt as though an aching tooth had been pulled clean out.

Upon receiving the news from Sichuan, the Murim Alliance immediately prepared to organize a unit to dispatch.
Unlike them, the Elder Council, which hoped the Righteous Path Association would experience a little more difficulty, began putting off discussions about preparations for organizing a unit. Because of that, the Murim Alliance’s Martial Pavilions fell into confusion over whether they should prepare or not.

However, it did not take long for the triumphant faces of the Elder Council to change sharply.
-Many casualties from Qingcheng Sect and its Lay-Affiliated Martial Sects.
-Many casualties from Emei Sect and its Lay-Affiliated Martial Sects.
-Many casualties from Mount Hua Sect and its Lay-Affiliated Martial Sects.

-Many casualties from Kongtong Sect and its Lay-Affiliated Martial Sects.
-Elder Eun Hui-gwang of Qingcheng Sect missing.
-Elder Jeong Myeong of Emei Sect missing.
-Elder So Chung-hyeon of Mount Hua Sect confirmed dead.

-Elder Hye-seong of Shaolin Temple suffering side effects caused by Witchcraft.
E n ü m a.і̃ d̃
-Daoist Master Myeonghyeon of Diancang Sect suffering side effects caused by Witchcraft.
At the endless stream of negative news, not only the Elder Council but the entire Murim Alliance was shocked.
At the end of the document, the note that the numbers had not been recorded because it was difficult to distinguish the exact casualties nearly made several people faint.
Because of that, there was no longer anyone who put the brakes on the matter of dispatching the Alliance’s warriors to Sichuan.
However, if it ended like this, the Murim Alliance would not be the Murim Alliance.
This time, they put the brakes on the size of the dispatch.

“Strategist Jegal. Do you think this makes any sense? Has some Black-White War broken out? Azure Dragon Pavilion, Red Dragon Pavilion, Black Martial Pavilion, and even Golden Phoenix Pavilion? Are you planning to fight all of Sichuan?”
“It seems the Elder Council is not looking at the current situation seriously. The Elders of Mount Hua Sect, Kongtong Sect, Qingcheng Sect, and Emei Sect have either gone missing or died. Moreover, Elder Hye-seong of Shaolin Temple and Daoist Master Myeonghyeon of Diancang Sect are also suffering from the aftereffects of Witchcraft.”
“Even so, this is excessive. Excessive!”
“And are the people who understand what is excessive the same people who questioned and obstructed the dispatch of warriors?”
“See here! Grand Strategist!”
Those who had once raced through the Murim together in their youth forgot their dignity and continued arguing while pointing fingers at one another like they had in their hot-blooded younger days.
Ėn̆ü m̈а . î d̄
To put it bluntly, if they had not had their positions and the eyes of others watching them, the war of words was fierce enough that they would have wanted to settle it with martial arts. Jegal So-myeong, who knew the truth, was on the verge of bursting inside.
‘I cannot exactly tell them the Blood Cult has appeared!’

The story Jin So-un had delivered was, in the end, nothing more than conjecture.
Jegal So-myeong himself thought there was credibility to Jin So-un’s story, so he had tried to dispatch at least the bare minimum, truly the bare minimum, number of people. But even that still irritated the Elder Council and the other sects.
Moreover, on the other side, Qingcheng Sect and Emei Sect, whose Elders had gone missing in Sichuan, a place no different from their own front yard, were making a fuss about raising their martial artists and catching the culprits themselves without waiting any longer.
It was literally chaos itself.
Ӗ.nu̇ m а. і d̀
Some people picked a fight over why so much manpower was being sent.
Qingcheng Sect and Emei Sect were making a fuss about dispatching their own martial artists immediately.
Even a marketplace would look more orderly than this.
“Damn that bastard. If he was going to throw a problem at me, he should have given me a solution too!”

At Jegal So-myeong’s words, Maeng Ju-won, whose forehead lump still had not gone down, grumbled,
“Is persuading the Elder Council not originally within your jurisdiction, Grand Strategist?”
Ё núm а
“......Why is this bastard eavesdropping on my muttering!”
Of course, Jegal So-myeong knew this was not Jin So-un’s problem, but from his perspective, it was unbearably frustrating.
If he believed the story that the Blood Cult had appeared, even that many people seemed too few.
If he simply treated it as an incident where Elders had died, then if it really was the Blood Cult, he felt the anxiety that this was not something that could be resolved with a small number of people.
While he was spending his time agonizing like that.
Another Carrier Pigeon Letter arrived.

-Iron Corpse Puppet appeared.
-The enemy’s identity has been confirmed as the Blood Cult.
They said that when one heard something too absurd, one’s head froze.
The Carrier Pigeon Letter Jin So-un sent turned the entire Murim Alliance into stone.
Jegal So-myeong, who had already been predicting the Blood Cult, trembled as though struck by lightning.
“J-Jiangshi? Jiaaaaangshi? Iron Corpse Puppeeeeet?”
W̃.е̄ b̀.ṅ ô v e l̂ Е̄n̆ u mа̌
“Grand Strategist, please compose yourself.”
“Hey, you bastard! Do you think I can compose myself?! It says Jiangshi! Jiangshi! Not something else, but Jiaaaaangshi!”

Although the incident taking place in Sichuan was being treated as confidential, somehow, the news began spreading throughout the entire Murim Alliance, and the Murim Alliance became noisier than ever.
The Murim Alliance, which had not stopped trembling like an anxious entrance examinee tapping his foot, eventually decided to dispatch its most elite personnel to Sichuan.
Regarding this, they placed no distinctions on the size of the dispatch or the affiliations involved, and the Elder Council also processed the dispatch plan with unconditional approval.
Murim Alliance Leader’s Hall.
Ŵebn̂ о vе l̄ Е́.ṅum̄ ӑ
Jegal So-myeong, who had brought the dispatch approval documents from the Elder Council and Mantongbu, was speaking with the Alliance Leader just before receiving the Alliance Leader’s approval seal.
“An Iron Corpse Puppet....... How do you see this?”
At Hyeok Mu-gang’s question, Jegal So-myeong answered without hiding his concern.
“I can only hope...... that it is not true.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
“You also think it is real, Grand Strategist.”
“There are a few points I find questionable. Even if we search past records, there is no record stating that the Blood Cult was able to manufacture Iron Corpse Puppets.”
En ùm а̂
“If that is the case, then in the end, does that mean they are connected to the Demonic Cult?”
Hyeok Mu-gang asked in a light tone, but Jegal So-myeong pressed his mouth firmly shut.
That was because, even as the Grand Strategist of the Murim Alliance, there were truths he did not want to face.
He believed that while they had to prepare thoroughly, the most important thing was for the incident not to happen in the first place.
“Even so, if it has already happened, we will have to face it in the end.”
“......”

At Hyeok Mu-gang’s words, Jegal So-myeong also gave silent agreement.
“The number of dispatched warriors is impressive.”
“It is only in case of the worst, but if the Blood Cult has appeared along with Iron Corpse Puppets, even this number is not enough.”
“Will the Black Path Alliance not be displeased?”
A large-scale mobilization of personnel like this was bound to irritate their competitors.
For the Black Path Murim, which was just beginning to establish itself and form an alliance, the Murim Alliance’s movements could only be uncomfortable.
Е̃ ń u m̄á . ї d
Furthermore, if this incident became the starting point and they had to face even the Black Path Alliance while fighting the Blood Cult, the Murim Alliance could end up besieged on all sides.
Jegal So-myeong suppressed the sigh rising inside him and answered.

“We will have to convey the detailed situation and calm their dissatisfaction. Even if we suffer some loss, we cannot simply leave the Blood Cult alone, can we?”
Hyeok Mu-gang could not relax his worried expression.
“I am already worried about what the Four Emperors Peak Lord will demand.”
Jegal So-myeong nodded as though he agreed.
W ěb̆ n̂_о̆ v ēl̃ Е̊ n um а́
“However, what matters right now is the Blood Cult and the Iron Corpse Puppets. If they emerge into the Murim, the damage will be on a completely different level from a scuffle with the Black Path.”
“Understood. I will think about what we should give up. By the way, what happened to the Academy Students?”
At that question, the Grand Strategist’s expression became complicated again.
“......They say greater damage was prevented thanks to Victory Tiger Hall, which went to Sichuan.”

“That is truly fortunate. I hear that was also thanks to that child, Jin So-un?”
When Hyeok Mu-gang somehow showed an excited expression, Jegal So-myeong let out a long sigh.

“That is correct. However, there may be procedural issues, so I do not know whether he should be punished or rewarded.”
Everything else was good.
He had gone there, saved the Academy Students, revealed the Blood Cult’s existence, and even informed them that Iron Corpse Puppets existed, so he certainly deserved to be rewarded.
However, he had ignored the academic schedule and had coaxed Mantongbu’s Department Head into dispatching Victory Tiger Hall.
On the surface, it could not exactly be said that there were procedural issues, but if one wanted to nitpick, there were still points that could be seized upon.
Jegal So-myeong was already suffering headaches because of the problems piled up everywhere, and when he thought of Jin So-un’s matter being added on top of that, he felt as if his head would burst.

“He should be rewarded.”
Hyeok Mu-gang’s calm voice.
Jegal So-myeong furrowed his brow.
“That is not so easy......”
“Are the procedural issues not minor when compared to the larger problem? He saved countless people and bought us time to respond to the crisis.”
TAK-
Е ǹũ ḿ a.i d̄
The Alliance Leader set down the teacup in his hand with an audible sound.
“If we punish such a person, from now on, no one will move easily, because they will all prioritize their own safety.”

“......”
Since Jegal So-myeong himself knew that fact too well, he could not add anything.
How obedient humans could be within a system.
If they lost the will to doubt and reflect and were devoured by the system, from that moment on, they became beings who would simply pass over something wrong even when they saw it.

Bringing Maeng Ju-won, who had been a low-ranking Scholar, into Mantongbu, and trying to bring in Jin So-un, who came from Taeul Sect.
All of it had been done to keep that in check.
“If anyone puts the brakes on rewarding him for this incident, the Alliance Leader’s Hall will take responsibility.”
At Hyeok Mu-gang’s firm voice, Jegal So-myeong eventually nodded.

“......Understood. Mantongbu will do the same. However, please handle rewards and punishments after the matter with the Blood Cult is finished.”
“That is only natural.”
Ẃе̂ḃ nо́ ṽе_l̈ Е̊ ǹü m̌ а
Jegal So-myeong, who had more or less finished everything he had to say, held out the dispatch order.
“Then, here......”
Hyeok Mu-gang read through the document, then picked up the golden seal and was about to stamp it when he stopped.
“If I stamp this, there will be no turning back, will there?”
“......”
Even at Jegal So-myeong’s silent reaction, Hyeok Mu-gang nodded and pressed the seal down heavily.

THUD.
The enormous giant called the Murim Alliance, which had been unable to move like a rotten old tree, began to move.
“Hall Master.”
At Jin So-un’s call, Gu Jeong-ryong turned around.
“Have you taken care of all your companions?”
“Yes, thanks for your consideration.”
Е n ů m̌à
Gu Jeong-ryong’s brow furrowed slightly.
What consideration did I show?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
In truth, all he had done in this incident was transport the wounded.
The one who had proactively handled the events in Sichuan was Jin So-un.
If Gu Jeong-ryong dared to guess, if Jin So-un had not come to Sichuan, the Murim Academy Righteous Path Association would have met its end in Sichuan.
As he thought that, Gu Jeong-ryong found himself becoming newly curious about Jin So-un again.
Еn̂ u mа̊ .іd́
“What exactly are you?”
“Pardon?”
“I asked what your true identity is.”
“My identity? I am a disciple of Taeul Sect and the Murim Academy Representative......”

“Forget it. I asked something pointless.”
At the sight of Gu Jeong-ryong shaking his head, Jin So-un scratched the back of his head with an expression that said he did not know what he had done wrong.
Ẇ е̇b̄ňō v̌ӗ l Е n ūmа
“By the way, why did you call me?”
“Ah, I had something I was curious about.”
“Hm? For me?”
“Yes. Several Victory Tiger Hall members keep asking me when I am going to buy them ‘Dispelling Evil and Spirit Suppression.’ What are they talking about?”
“......”
Gu Jeong-ryong’s face flushed bright red.

“Cough....... That is......”
“Does ‘Dispelling Evil and Spirit Suppression’ perhaps mean the dispelling of evil and the subjugation of spirits that I know?”
Gu Jeong-ryong’s fake coughing grew even louder.
“Coough! Kuhuk! Ahem!”
“Have you perhaps suffered internal injuries?”
“Urgh...... No. There was just a bit of a personal matter. Well, about that...... Could you buy them any suitable food and tell them it is Dispelling Evil and Spirit Suppression?”
Е̄ n̆umа.. ї d
“......”
Jin So-un tilted his head and made an expression as though he did not understand at all.

In the end, Gu Jeong-ryong had no choice but to put his hand inside his robe and take out a few silver coins.
“I will pay. They are friends who worked hard, so you should coax them appropriately.”
Then, as though he had never done otherwise, Jin So-un smiled brightly and readily accepted the silver coins.
The innocent expression had vanished without a trace before anyone knew it.
Е̃ n u̇ m а . i d̀
“Of course. If it is for the sake of those who worked hard, I should do as much as I can.”
“......”
For some reason, Gu Jeong-ryong was left feeling uneasy.
He quickly changed the subject.

“I am thinking of gradually increasing the speed of the procession. What do you think?”
“There are many wounded. Will that be all right?”
En̄ úm a._i̇d
“From the look of things, what is happening in Sichuan is no ordinary matter. The Blood Cult....... They will never give up.”
“Ah, that is fine.”
Gu Jeong-ryong tilted his head.
“Is it fine?”
“Yes. I cut off the Young Cult Master’s head. If only because they have to report that matter, the Blood Cult will not move for a while.”
“......”

At that unshakably calm explanation, Gu Jeong-ryong briefly lost the ability to speak before barely opening his mouth.
“You cut off his head....... You did?”
“Yes. It looked like they would come after us, so I cut the problem off at the root in advance.”
“......”
Gu Jeong-ryong’s gaze naturally turned toward the bundle in Jin So-un’s hand.
The size of a watermelon, an appropriately round shape.

Even the way Eun Seol-ran used Ice Arts on it morning and evening......
“Do not tell me that is......”

Jin So-un answered in a cheerful voice.
“Yes! It is exactly what you are thinking.”
“......”
Why are you holding that?
W̄е̄b́ ñ ô v.е l̈ Е̇n̈ um̊а̊
The question rose all the way to the tip of Gu Jeong-ryong’s throat, but he firmly swallowed it down.
Starting from the fact that Jin So-un had predicted the incident in Sichuan in the first place, there were not just one or two things Gu Jeong-ryong was curious about.
But if he listened to all of that, his head seemed as though it would become far too complicated.
Gu Jeong-ryong decided to quickly cut off his interest.

“Hm, I see. You are very impressive.”
“You flatter me.”
Еnum̌ â . îḋ
At the same time, he quickly changed the topic.
“Still, I think it would be better to increase our speed. It seems not only the Blood Cult, but also the Green Forest strongholds are involved in this incident.”
“......Ah. You mean that?”
“You saw the corpses too, so you know......”
“I did that.”
“......What?”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Gu Jeong-ryong began feeling dizzy again, wondering what this meant now.
Unlike him, Jin So-un’s expression was still calm.
“Well, there was simply no way to break through the Blood Cult members, so I brought in the Green Forest Bandits and set them against one another.”
“......”
Gu Jeong-ryong tried once again to ignore the complicated story, but this time, he truly could not endure it.
“Are you insane? You dragged in the Green Forest when the Blood Cult alone was already too much to handle?”

“Ah, I was going to handle all of that......”
At that moment, Gam Cheon-ak approached the two of them with a rarely stiff expression.

“Hall Master.”
“What!”
The answer had turned needlessly irritable.
Under ordinary circumstances, Gam Cheon-ak would have snapped back with the same temper, but he spoke in a still-stiff voice.

“The Green Forest has appeared ahead.”
“What?”
“There seem to be about a thousand of them.”
