Episode 371: Because it’s for the country (2)
Hwang So-cheon asked about the Heavenly Chuns that the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters had defeated.
Although he knew some of the information, he reacted with great surprise to some of it.
“We were also aware of the warrior dragon of Haereung Island and the leader of Baekhwahyeolgyo. But Jang Mun-in of the Joint Sect was the King of Sagye of Heaven...”
In the meantime, Changryongdae had also been making ceaseless efforts to find him.
You haven’t achieved anything so far, but you were killed by the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters? Hwang So-cheon looked very happy.
At that time, he smiled and said as if the rumor was no big deal.
“how is it. “Is this worth investing in us?”
“It’s definitely true. Thanks to you, I have less worries, but I must not let down my guard.”
“why? “I heard there’s another spy?”
Huang Xiaotian slowly shook his head with a worried look on his face.
“The plan they have been preparing has gone awry, so they might be planning something else.”
“What are you worried about? “We captured three of the Four Heavenly Kings of Soreumsa Temple.”
“Who said they were the only ones in Heaven? “It is true that Soreoeumsa, the ascetic temple of Arhat, is the center, but there are many forces there as well.”
Yu Jin-san, who was watching silently, looked interested.
All he knew was that a long time ago, the Shao Ling Yin Temple brought all the remaining forces of the Heavenly Empire to their knees.
Now was the time to find out more.
“Tell me what you know about them.”
“Excluding the Shaoreumsa, there are three forces that we need to keep a close eye on. Asura religion, which worships the evil god, and Thunder Shrine, which worships the god of thunder. And there is Daramin Buddhism that rebels against Arhat.”
As the captain of the Changryongdae, who had been preparing for the invasion of Cheonchuk for a long time, Hwang So-cheon knew a lot.
“What do you think their power is?”
“I don’t know exactly, but each one of them will be stronger than the current Murim Alliance.”
No matter how weakened the power of the Murim Alliance is, is it so bad that not even a single force of the Heavenly Empire can defeat it? It was amazing.
“Then why did those scary bastards leave this place alone until now?”
“I never told you before. What the Arhat wants is to rule the whole world. The Asura Cult and the Thunder God are taking over other kingdoms under the orders of Arhat.”
Jinsan Yu crossed his arms with a serious expression.
‘This is not an easy problem to think about. I can’t believe their power was so great...’
So, the sword lord who left for Cheonchuk couldn’t help but feel anxious.
At that time, Yu Seol, who had been quietly listening, came forward and asked Hwang So-cheon.
“Isn’t it enough to just kill Arhat? “A coward who hides and only gives orders.”
“He considers himself a noble being, so he rarely moves. “If he goes out himself...”
“Do you think I’ll lose?”
Hwang So-cheon shook his head with a serious expression.
“Abandon the idea of dealing with him alone. It may be hard to believe, but Arhat is a monster that has lived for over three hundred years.”
At that moment, Yu Seol’s eyes widened like a surprised rabbit.
“So, three hundred years old?”
I couldn’t even imagine what it would look like. As a rough estimate, it was twenty-five times more than he was.
“exactly. “He is the one who unified the Heavenly Empire a long time ago.”
However, no matter who the opponent was, Yu Seol had no fear.
Rather, my fighting spirit burned even more.
“You have to know the long and the short. “Fighting isn’t about age, right?”
Huang Xiaotian seemed to be thinking about something for a moment and then spoke cautiously.
“Recently, a person named Geomhu has been giving us information. “Maybe if you talk to her, you’ll change your mind.”
“Sister Soso? How can we meet?”
Hwang So-cheon also slowly shook his head as if he didn’t know how.
“He’s such a newbie that we have no way of contacting him first.”
This was bound to be the case as he was a busy figure moving back and forth between heaven and midfield.
However, one day, he will come to Cheonyuhoe together with the recently retired Master Sado.
‘In the meantime, I’ll have to decorate the house pretty.’
Yu Seol wanted to revitalize the Cheon Yuhoe headquarters as soon as possible.
It was a sanctuary that I had long-awaited, but it was empty and lonely just looking at it.
At that time, Hwang So-cheon looked in the direction where the opening was and said.
“If I have nothing more to say, I will leave now. “I need to have an audience with His Majesty and negotiate.”
There was one thing I needed to check before sending him away.
Yu Jin-san asked him vaguely.
“How long will I have to wait for the results to come out?”
“There is no need to wait. “It’s as if the result has already been decided.”
How can you be so confident?
It was a matter of giving in to the martial arts people and even providing them with funds.
No matter how great Hwang So-cheon’s power is, there will be officials who oppose it.
I didn’t understand how the results could already be confirmed.
And the moment I received the armor, its true value was clearly revealed.
To maximize convenience, it was thin and flexible, and the weight was barely felt.
On the inside, the phrase ‘Sakyagiri Gap’ was engraved elegantly.
“Wow~ It’s so soft.”
“Try it on just once.”
Yoo Seol took the giraffe armor and placed it on the upper body of the grandfather who was watching from behind.
“Is it a little big...?”
It sure looked big, but that didn’t matter.
Seok Mun-hyeok gave an additional explanation.
“Being a new soldier of the world, he naturally possesses the life of a divine beast. “Giraffe Gap will transform itself to suit the wearer’s body.”
You will have to try it on first to find out.
Jinsan Yu was suddenly led by his granddaughter to try on the armor.
Naturally, it looked baggy, as if the boy had borrowed his father’s clothes.
But even for a moment.
Kuuuk-!
I felt a tightening sensation throughout my body and my giraffe began to react.
After a while, it fit exactly to the size of my upper body like a custom-made suit.
The armor self-contracts to fit the wearer’s body shape.
Yu Jin-san, who was moving his body, was truly impressed.
“The fit is so great that you don’t even know you’re wearing armor. Plus, it’s thin and soft, so I think it’s enough to wear under a suit.”
“It will be so. But the most important thing about armor is its protective ability. Please also test its performance.”
Even so, I was very curious about Mt. Yujin.
He took a stance and gave a glance to his granddaughter.
“Go ahead and give it a try.”
A fleeting moment. The Yonghwachang, filled with spear energy, grazed Yujinsan’s armor and passed by.
Skunk-!
A dazzling flash of light flashed from the silver armor of the affected area.
And that was it.
The armor showed off as if nothing had happened.
“how is it?”
“Not Changgi, but Changjiang.”
The milky white energy that formed on the Yonghwachang began to take on a blue tint.
It was Changgang (槍罡), the most powerful energy that humans can emit.
“Don’t move because it’s dangerous.”
Skunk-!
As expected, there wasn’t even a scratch on the part of the armor where the spear was in contact.
The giraffe’s scales are probably doing their job.
“This is truly amazing. “If you wear this, even if you want to die, you won’t be able to.”
“I know. “I think it’s really great armor.”
At that time, Seok Mun-hyeok, who was quietly watching, suggested another experiment.
“Robbery is not everything. Try a direct hit.”
Yu Jin-san was about to open his mouth to say something.
Yu Seol’s palm moved like a flash and struck his abdomen.
Kuung-!
“Ugh!”
Yu Jin-san was unable to prepare for his granddaughter’s surprise attack and was hit directly.
It was a heavy attack that made him take two steps back.
But that was it. He looked puzzled, as if he hadn’t been hit very hard.
“...what?”
“Are you okay? What happened?”
At that moment, Yu Jin-san felt something and spoke in a surprised tone.
“I can’t believe it. “The armor absorbed the shock and sucked up my internal strength in return.”
It was truly an amazing ability.
This means that this ability will continue as long as the internal power does not decrease.
It really seemed like it could be said to be the best armor in the world.
Yu Seol also became curious about the limits of armor.
“Then can you block my Wind Profound Fist?”
Yu Jin-san shouted urgently as he saw his granddaughter clenching her fists.
“That’s not allowed!”
I don’t know anything else, but I didn’t have the confidence to endure the Wind Profound Fist.
At that time, he laughed and said as if the rumor was a joke.
“Hi-Hi. “Take it off quickly. I want to try it on too.”
