Episode 156. It’ll be one of the two.
Guryong Inn.
The next morning.
Bloody Death King Cheonsusan came to the inn in person with a two-wheeled carriage.
When he found Yeonjeokha and his group resting in the restaurant, he quickly approached them and bowed his head.
Just looking at this, it is exactly as Yeonjeokha said yesterday.
“Sir, we are a little late because we had to refill the carriage. You can use it whenever you want.”
“Oh, thank you. Thank you for your hard work. Cheon Chae-ju, in the past… … . No.”
I was about to ask if he was from Yeonjeokjeok, but I held back.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“No, it’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”
“Yes, I would appreciate it if you would remember my loyalty.”
“Yes, I’ll definitely remember that. By the way, I heard that the Justice Alliance offered a bounty on Cheon Chae-ju’s head?”
“Haha, the amount is so low that I’m embarrassed to even mention it. I have a long way to go before I can keep up with others.”
“Really? Don’t ask others to do good things for no reason. Take good care of your head.”
“Yes, thank you for your concern.”
Even though his business was over, Cheonsusan stood by Yeonjeokha’s side like a servant.
Only after Yeonjeok-ha, who was secretly worried, motioned for him to leave did he leave the inn.
Jin Seol-ha muttered as he watched the back of Cheonsu Mountain receding into the distance.
“Wow! I guess it’s because I heard Prince Yeon’s words that I feel like I’m really a Jeomsoi. If I go back to the Jeongju branch and say something like this, no one will believe me.”
“By the way, since the ten anaerobic horsemen have returned, can we rest easy for the time being?”
As he spoke, Yoo Geun-sik glanced at Namgung Yeon.
“Now that we know the purpose and destination of the enemy from the famous church, it will be one of two things. Either we wait for the enemy with the intention of killing them, or we let go of the Nokrim.”
A heavy silence followed her answer.
If you prepare to kill Yeonjeokha, other people will also be in danger.
After a moment, Namgung Yeon continued speaking.
“But they have no time to prepare for the next destination, Donghosuchae. If they prepare anything, it will probably be Daebyeolsanchae.”
Namgungcheon of Cheongung Sword nodded.
“That’s right. It takes about three to four days by boat from here to the Donghosuchae where the water is, so even if the Donghosuchae water supply owner knows about it, he has no time to prepare. If the famous church wants to take revenge on the ten horse soldiers, the place to do so will be Daebyeolsanchae.”
“Namgung Daehyeop, won’t Yu Myeong-gyo just let go of Dongho Suchae and Daebyeol Sanchae?”
Yoo Geun-sik seemed to want that to happen.
It is natural that the ten-headed horsemen’s martial arts skills are so outstanding that they feel threatened for their lives.
“I wish that were the case for me too.”
But Namgungcheon’s expression was dark.
Considering the evil deeds of the famous religion, it seems unlikely that they will just step down like this.

Namjikryeoseong.
Soho, south of Hapbi.
Anaerobic reduction.
Four people gathered and sat in the office of Lee Mae-hwa, the head of the household and the leader of the Baekdu Horse Army. Lee Mae-hwa, Yang So-ran, the chief guardian, Doksim Gwi-rang, Hyeol-geom, and Ok-bul.
As soon as Yang So-ran finished speaking, Lee Mae-hwa spoke with a dumbfounded expression.
“So the general patrolman Yeonjeokha’s weaponry is similar to Baekdu Ma-gun? He’s only twenty years old?”
Blood Sword, who had been observing the situation, added a word.
“He was young, but he was truly a cruel man. Jang Gang-il-goe was laughing and talking when he was suddenly attacked by the man and died. Judging from the fact that the Pacheonma Army put such a man in the position of general patrolman, he must have been determined.”
Lee Mae-hwa turned her gaze to Yang So-ran.
“Did Yeonjeokha really say that? That the chief debt collector ordered the famous bridge in Nokrim to be reorganized.”
“Yes, he definitely said that. It seemed like he had no grudge against the Ten Horsemen. Judging from the fact that he said that the Ten Horsemen attacked him and he had no choice but to kill them.”
“Hmm! Did you say that the ship that Jang Gang-il-goe blew up was a ship that went on forever?”
“yes.”
“If that’s the case, they must be heading to Donghosuchae by now. Since Janggangsuchae is the southernmost, the owners of Gwangpungchae and Samdosanchae in the north must all be dead.”
“It seemed like that was the way he spoke.”
“I guess Donghosuchae and Daebyeolsanchae are the only ones left. Haa! It’s already too late to contact Donghosuchae. So that means Daebyeolsanchae is the only one left… … .”
“Are you thinking of taking revenge on Yeonjeokha?”
“It won’t be an easy task. If that guy is Baekdu Demon Lord, then we’ll need help from other sects. We’ll also have to consider whether Pacheon Demon Lord will tolerate his death.”
“But if we stay still, the Pacheonma Army will look down on Yumyeonggyo.”
Yang So-ran wanted to kill her rival if nothing else.
At first it was Baek-san’s revenge, but now it was a matter of pride.
My heart still races when I think of his last words.
-Hey, old man. The monks you killed were the kind of people who deserved to die like that? Where are you pretending to be a hero? You keep nagging at me, and it won’t do you any good, so let’s let you go. The reason I’m holding back now is because I don’t want to become the same as you. What do you know?
The young man treated her like an old woman selling things in a convenience store.
I had never heard anything like that before I became a sibduma soldier.
What more can I say now that I have become a Sipduma soldier and have gained unparalleled internal energy!
Lee Mae-hwa nodded.
She also didn’t want to be tied down to just one person.
“It’s possible that Pacheonma-gun sent Yeonjeokha to see how we’ll react. If that’s the case, we should respond accordingly. That is, if we don’t want to be called an idiot.”
“If you allow… … .”
Power entered Yang So-ran’s eyes.
“There isn’t enough time to drag in all the other churches. Daebyeolsanchae is in the territory of the Milky Way. The Milky Way Lord, Cheok Jin-gyeong, is a man of strong pride, so he won’t just give up on Daebyeolsanchae. I’ll send a messenger to the Milky Way, so will you help me out once more?”
“What a hassle. It’s not worth it. If the Lord told me not to go, I was going to ask him to let me go.”
“Did Yeonjeokha owe you a favor?”
“That bastard hurled unspeakable abuse at me in Gangjujin.”
“Oh, that happened. To do something like that to the most poisonous demon in the world. I’m going to die. If I kill Yeonjeokha and take my hands off Sanchae, the Pacheonma Army will probably just try to cover it up.”
“How many cavalrymen do you plan to send?”
“There are three of us, three in the galaxy, so wouldn’t that be six?”
Lee Mae-hwa glanced at Yang So-ran.
I am checking her reaction after meeting Yeonjeokha in person.
If it wasn’t enough, I was willing to send more.
But Yang So-ran thought that with that number, it was worth a try.
“That’s enough.”
Six of the twelve horsemen are almost as powerful as a famous religious sect.
At that level, it would be enough to deal with Yeonjeokha, Gucheonnodo, Simtong, and even an unidentified woman.

Photophobia.
Infinite Bridge Village.
Around noon.
A carriage of two men disembarked from the boat and slowly entered the village.
It was the carriage that Yeonjeokha and his party rode in.
The carriage stopped in front of a spot in the village of bridges.
Namgungcheon, who was sitting next to the horse, lightly flew down.
People passing by on the street were amazed by his extraordinary magic and kept glancing at him.
The beauty of Namgung Yeon and Jin Seol-ha, who got out of the carriage next, stopped the steps of people passing by.
Yeonjeokha and his party entered the restaurant, ignoring the rudely persistent stares of the people.
The streets that had stopped for a moment due to the appearance of Namgung Yeon and Jin Seol-ha became busy again.
“Come on in!”
Just then, one of the group of people who had been watching Yeonjeokha came running towards them at a brisk pace.
“There is a vacancy on this floor. I will take it.”
Jeomsoi took the lead and guided us to this floor.
Even though it was lunchtime, Yeonjeokha and his party were lucky enough to get seats by the window.
Yoo Geun-sik muttered as he looked around.
“I see a few martial artists. They seem to be from the upper class.”
Jeomsoi, who had been standing aside and waiting for orders, spoke softly.
“Yes, these are the Cheon Geum Mun. I heard that this is a place where the Cheon Geum Mun agrees to send guards to the Taiping Shang Fang.”
“Cheongeommun?”
Yu Geun-sik was from Jeongju and did not know about the Infinite Heavenly Sword.
It was the same for everyone else, so everyone just looked at Jeomsoi’s mouth.
“Yes, it is a sect that knows everything from infinity.”
“Is this the Jeongdo sect?”
“That’s right.”
“Are you a member of the Justice Alliance?”
“I don’t belong to the Justice Alliance yet.”
Jeomsoi and Sochil smiled shyly.
Cheon Geum Mun was not a sect large enough to join the Justice Alliance. Contrary to what I just said, it was a ‘sect known throughout the universe.’
Fortunately, Yoo Geun-sik didn’t dig any further.
Since he was in the Justice Alliance and knew the circumstances of the weaker sect better than anyone else, he gave it to them.
Cheongeommun Munju Hwalingeom Yu Jinwon spoke to his great disciple Yoo Eui-min sitting next to him.
“Go find out why the people of Taipingshang are late and come back. Since the meeting is already late, tell this teacher to come when he gets the time.”
“yes.”
Yoo Eui-min hurried downstairs.
Eugene Won kept glancing toward the stairs as Taepyeongsangbang, who was supposed to sign the contract, was late.
His daughter, Yoo So-woon, who couldn’t stand to watch, said something.
“Father, I was afraid you wouldn’t come. The Ark of the Pacific Ocean is not a person who lies. You know that very well. Just wait patiently.”
“It’s been a long time since we promised, and I haven’t seen your nose, so that’s not it.”
“I guess something happened on the way here. The boss is very busy these days.”
“Well, that’s good, but I’ve heard that Chilsangmun has been doing strange things lately.”
“Don’t worry about Chilsangmun. Taepingsangbang wants to sign a contract with us, so what are you worried about?”
Chilsangmun was a sect of Jeongsaji in the same area as Cheongeommun.
They also put a lot of effort into the Taipingshangbang for a long time, but Taipingshangbang’s ark ultimately chose the Cheongeommun.
The number of disciples and the power of the school were far greater in the Chilsangmun than in the Cheongeommun. However, merchants were reluctant to work with the Chilsangmun members because of their fierce temperaments.
On the contrary, the weak Cheongeom sect was popular among merchants because it was gentle.
Yoo Ui-min returned about 20 minutes later.
His expression was grim as he climbed the stairs.
Yoo Jin-won, who saw Yoo Eui-min’s face, couldn’t hold it in any longer and jumped up from his seat.
“What happened when you left? Did you find out why Taipingshangbang was late?”
“That’s the Chilsangmun… … .”
“Why them?”
Yoo Eui-min said with a puzzled expression.
“They say they are bringing the Ark of Peace. It looks like they will be coming here soon with the Ark.”
“Ugh! It turns out Chilsangmun ended up interfering in the end. I heard that they were going to force the contract. I didn’t think they would actually do something like that.”
“Brother, why are the Chilsangmun taking the Ark of the Taipingsangbang? What right do they have?”
“Ha! He’s going to show us for himself that he has no power to protect the commercial rights of Taipingshangbang. He’s going to publicly take care of us and take the contract.”
“No, are there really such crazy people? Forcibly taking away a contract like that? Isn’t that just robbery? Even if the morality of the martial arts world has fallen to the ground, isn’t that wrong? How could they do something like that when they’re not even the Green Forest?”
Yoo So-woon raised his voice.
How can they do such a shameless thing in broad daylight, relying only on their own strength?
I was so upset and angry that tears welled up in my eyes before I knew it.
Wuxia,
