Episode 375: First Mission (1)
Asura Cult was one of the three major forces of Heaven that followed Arhats.
If I had the chance to deal with them first, I couldn’t miss it.
“I will think of a way. So, until then, please do not make any moves at the Shaolin Temple.”
This meant not to commit the mistake of going around suspicious temples and ignoring them.
Jeonghye responded by reciting a Buddhist sutra as if she understood.
“Amitabha Buddha. “We will only wait for the Lord’s orders.”
“Thank you. Until then, monk, please select only the temples suspected of being part of the Asura religion.”
Jeonghye responded by placing her palms together once.
Afterwards, as if he had finished what he wanted to say, he turned his back and walked away somewhere.
And Yu Jin-san, who was left alone, folded his arms and was deep in thought.
‘If I do well, I might be able to use this opportunity to break one of Cheonchuk’s wings. But you have to move carefully.’
It was impossible to move hastily.
Isn’t this a terrifying force that even Bodhidharma raised his hands to?
First, I planned to slowly draw up a plan with my granddaughter, solidifying the inner workings of the alliance.
* * *
The creation of Cheonyuhoe and the recruitment of forces were very successful.
The two major political factions are the Shaolin Temple and the Shaman faction. And even Xiaoyo Mountain Lodge in Zhejiang Province and Heukmyo Sect in Shaanxi.
From the first day, prominent forces joined, instantly establishing themselves as a powerful force.
Afterwards, numerous so-called powerful forces flocked to the area.
Among the Gudaemun faction, which had political tendencies, the Jongnam faction and the Dongong faction additionally joined, and in the Odae family, the Namgung family and the Tang family of Sacheon joined.
Needless to say, he had a Safa tendency.
In particular, since all the forces belonging to the Apostolic Alliance wanted to join, it was a headache to select them.
And before we knew it, the recruitment period that had lasted for 10 days was finally coming to an end.
“after. “I think it’s finally been sorted out to some extent.”
After completing the final screening, Jinsan Yu left his seat and stood up.
The head of the family, Yeon Yeon-hee, who was assisting him next to him, asked in a polite manner.
“Thank you for your hard work, Elder Yanggoe. Are you satisfied with the results?”
“It exceeded my expectations. “I was able to finish it well thanks to your help.”
Of the hundreds of sects that wished to join Cheonyuhoe, the percentage approved was less than 10%.
It was a natural result since the plan was to form an elite alliance from the beginning.
And the factions that failed to join the alliance soothed their disappointment by establishing friendly relations.
“Hurry and go to the government office, Elder. The Federation meeting will begin soon.”
“That’s right.”
At the same time as the alliance was formed, it was the first time that representatives of each faction gathered in one place.
Yu Jin-san, who was heading to Cheon Yu-hoe’s government office, felt his heart pounding for some reason.
‘This is just the beginning.’
* * *
There was a subtle tension in the government office of Socheonseong, which boasted its grandeur.
This is because about 50 masters were sitting across from each other at a long table.
Each and every one of them reigned as representatives of various regions of the central plains.
Although they were all men of great power, none of them dared to act rashly in this situation.
“Is everyone here?”
At the head of the table was a girl sitting with her chin resting on her head with sleepy eyes.
The supreme leader of martial arts who has proudly risen to the top of the powerhouse where power dominates everything.
Yooseol was asking, flicking his fingers on the side of the chair.
At that time, Commander-in-Chief Eunhwa-rin, who was standing next to him, slightly lowered his head.
“Yes, Lord Hoe.”
“I’m hungry, so let’s get started. “We should finish it quickly and gather in the banquet hall to have fun.”
There was no reason to delay.
“Is there really a need for the Lord of the Association to come forward? “Please leave the volcano wave to me.”
He was Mukwang, a member of the Shaman faction.
He was also an absolute expert, but compared to the reputation of Plum Sword Zone, he didn’t feel inferior.
Perhaps that’s why Yoo Seol asked with a worried expression.
“Grandpa, will you go and fight in person?”
What if Gwangneung Jinin, the greatest shaman of all time, goes?
According to speculation, he lost to the Plum Blossom Sword Zone in all battles.
At that time, Jang Mun-in of the Shaman faction was startled and waved his hand.
“Is that possible? “I’m just trying to persuade you through conversation.”
If that was the case, there was no reason to refuse.
Yu Seol readily accepted his offer.
“Then let’s do it. “Who else is there?”
Eunhwarin reported what she had figured out in advance.
“In addition to the Plum Blossom Sword Zone, there are many people to be wary of. Representative examples include the Qingcheng First Sword of the Qingcheng Sect and Peng Wusheng, the absolute leader of Hebei Wulin. “How about giving them a chance too?”
“how?”
“We are having you write a pledge not to oppose Cheon Yuhoe in the future.”
Yoo Seol, who rested her chin and pondered for a moment, then spoke as if she was benevolent.
“I’ll give you a month to decide before you get spanked.”
“All right. “Then may I announce the next agenda item?”
“I do.”
Eunhwarin cleared her throat once, looked at the audience again, and spoke.
“From now on, I will announce who has been elected as an executive of the federation. “This is a decision made by the chairman, so if you have any objections, please come forward.”
In fact, this was something that Yu Jin-san and Eun Hwa-rin put their heads together to think about.
This was said only as the authority of the association to prevent dissatisfaction in advance.
The criteria for selection were that distribution and military merit were the top priority, and emphasis was placed on achieving balance by evenly distributing political inclinations to each rank.
First of all, Baekgyu of Paedomun and Maeng Namcheon, the owner of Soyo Mountain Lodge. And Baeksang, the master of the Black Myo Sect, and Tang Socheon of the Sacheondangmun were appointed as the Four Great Guardians of the Cheonyuhoe.
And, including Yu Jin-san, Jeonghye Daesa of the Shaolin Temple and Gwangneung Jin-in of the Shaman sect were appointed as elders of the Cheonyuhoe.
Considering the distribution within Moorim, it was set in a position where it would receive the highest respect.
In addition, eight head of the family were elected and given their respective roles.
And he did not forget to save face by giving honorary positions to all those who were not elected as executives.
After the results were decided, not a single person expressed dissatisfaction.
It was fair to some extent, but more than anything, it was because Yu Seol was raising his eyes in front of him.
* * *
After the union meeting ended, everyone began moving toward the banquet hall.
The most exciting thing was the rumor.
He took the lead and motioned for everyone to come quickly.
“Uhihi. From now on, let’s drink to our heart’s content and have fun together! “We prepared special food in the banquet hall.”
While everyone is walking along, lost in their own thoughts.
Yujinsan was sending a message to someone at the very rear.
– Please wait a moment.
A sharp-looking middle-aged man wearing dark black clothes stopped walking.
“...?”
He was Baeksang, the master of the Black Cat, and was also the best assassin in the Jungwon Murim.
Jinsan Yu waited for the surroundings to become quiet, then approached him and asked in a whisper.
“Can you help me?”
Baeksang looked at Yujinsan with puzzled eyes.
What are you suddenly asking me to help you with?
Of all the masters, that’s especially true for yourself.
“Is this related to Cheon Yuhoe?”
“exactly. Actually, I’m on a secret mission right now and I need your help.”
