Chapter 501
Episode 501 Bulgongdaecheon (不共戴天) (1)
“Lord.”
“….”
“First of all… summoning the Iron Blood Lord….”
“Go out and see.”
“yes? Ah yes! All right.”
Damsayoung, who was left alone, stared intently at the letters and various documents placed on the table.
After a while he sat down.
“…Things are getting interesting.”
Dam Sa-yeong’s expression was difficult to describe in words.
He seemed extremely angry, but also felt sad for some reason. Although I felt like I was full of life, I also felt like there was a bitterness in the air.
“her! “You said you would take a few days off, but I never thought you would do such a mean thing without me knowing.”
I met Seo-ryang.
With that Demonic Cult leader who, without realizing it, is his great enemy.
It seemed like it wasn’t just once or twice. Looking at the posted report, it seemed like they had been in contact with each other several times before this critical situation arose.
He thought of a remittance bag.
The face of a lion king full of confidence and the face of a toothless beast with no self-esteem.
‘That was all a charade?’
Damsayoung couldn’t believe it.
It wasn’t usually difficult to read the inside of a remittance bag. However, if you look back at the situation that was going on and the things that went hand in hand with him, he was not a person who would betray you in any way.
‘A report like this came up…’
Dam Sa-yeong smiled.
‘Does this mean that since I didn’t trust you in the first place, it doesn’t constitute betrayal?’
Not sure about anything. Not yet.
But this is certain.
‘As many as six of the Kangho Ten assassination organizations dispatched troops. At that level, it is safe to say that the organization’s fate was at stake.’
Dam Sa-young’s eyes sparkled.
‘Who’s behind it?’
Dispatching troops exactly at the time when two giants meet?
Although the financial power and influence of attracting as many as six shooting organizations was great, getting the timing right was usually no big deal.
This was impossible without fully understanding the movements of the two giants.
And there was one person who could clearly see the movement.
‘grow.’
However, Dam Sa-yeong never sent Salsu. He wasn’t the type of person to move like that.
‘If not me, then who?’
At that moment, Dam Sa-young’s eyes sparkled.
“Could it be the crown prince?”
The possibility is small.
But it doesn’t exist at all. The crown prince’s occasional boldness often surprised even Dam Sa-yeong, who controlled the martial arts faction.
It could be the crown prince. Influence, financial power, there is nothing that I don’t have.
‘But the texture is different. No matter how reckless a person is,
there is no benefit to using the Iron Blood Castul…’
He doesn’t know much about Moorim, but he’s not stupid either.
There were times when he couldn’t use his smarts due to greed, but he wasn’t the type of person who overused irrational moves that would affect the game.
‘No one benefits. As if someone who had never entered this game had thrown in a new chess piece…’
At that moment, Dam Sa-young’s eyes sparkled.
“…Yeah, that can’t be possible.”
There is no force in Moorim that one does not know about. It was the same with Sae-oe.
“There was. “The one who can reap even the slightest benefit from this unexpected deadly war.”
And who is he?
Shake!
“I am the leader of the Demon Cult.”
“hmm?”
Damsayoung looked back.
The person who opened the side door and came in was a one-armed young man. The expressionless face and deep eyes were so impressive that it was hard to see that he was missing an arm.
A smile spread across Dam Sa-young’s face.
“Are you finished training?”
“That’s right.”
“You’ve grown more. Now, it seems like the power of the Moon Lord has settled in well.”
“It’s thanks to Master’s help.”
“Even if the world’s greatest teachers teach, you won’t grow that quickly without talent and effort. “It’s amazing.”
“thank you.”
“But what did you just say?”
Dan Lihu did not answer immediately.
After cross-checking dozens of documents and letters, he heard one document.
“It is clear that he is the Demon Cultist. To be precise, it was probably a trick on the part of the Demonic Church.”
Dam Sa-young smiled.
“What makes you think that?”
“Look at this.”
The document held by Dan Lihu contained a behavioral analysis of Demonic Cult’s movements over the past year.
“This may have been the first time Ma Jyoju and Song Seongju met. “If we had contacted him several times in the past, he would have been able to kidnap the emperor right away when Iron Blood Castle helped make the iron armor for the imperial palace.”
“Hmm?”
“But if you look at this, the Demonic Church at the time was struggling to stabilize public sentiment in the south. “Other than that there was no movement.”
Damsayoung tilted her head.
“I think that alone would have been busy enough.”
“What matters is the essence. The reason the Demonic Cult went to the trouble of kidnapping the emperor not long ago was because they wanted to legitimize this war.
“The emperor’s existence is greater than capturing the hearts of the people.”
“haha.”
“If I had been in secret with Song Seongju, I could have kidnapped the emperor more easily. And that too several times.
“No matter how busy they are, they are not easy enough to miss such an opportunity.”
“In other words, this is the first meeting between Ma Jiaoju and Song Seongju since their life-and-death battle in Zhejiang?”
“I think so.”
Damsayoung nodded.
After trying so hard to figure out this part, I couldn’t figure it out. The disciple caught it.
Although it is an expedient method, he is a disciple who is close to the Harmony Sutra. Not to mention his martial arts talent, Ilshin’s wit was also top-notch. He was truly a disciple worth saving.
“As you can see, this is the first time since the Zhejiang Incident that Yeomra appeared in the world right after ascending to the top of the religious leader.”
“yes.”
“Yeomra is a more unconventional figure than anyone else. When it comes to really important work, they don’t send people and do things on their own. “It was like that in the past during my elementary school days.”
“Well it certainly was.”
“But I don’t think he came to the midfield because of his meeting with Song Seong-ju. If he had decided to make contact with Song Seongju, he would not have gone north openly.
“He must have come up hidden somehow, whether by putting on makeup or riding a boat.”
Damsayoung’s eyes sparkled.
“You are right.”
“yes. In other words, I think it is highly likely that this meeting with Song Seongju was an impromptu meeting. If Song Seong-ju’s personality is the same, it is worth accepting the Demon Cultist’s request to meet with him.”
“What about the sprinkler organization?”
“That’s right. As it is an impromptu meeting, very few people know this fact. “We, the Iron Blood Castle and…”
“The Demon Cult.”
“yes. There is no way the Iron Blood Lord could have summoned the Killer, so it is definitely a Demonic Cult.
This shooting war is one of the strategies carried out by the Demonic Church. “It must have been used as a catalyst to sow doubt in Song Seongju’s mind.”
It was an amazing insight.
Is it because I got enough rest? Or is it because his martial arts skills have grown and his resourcefulness has also grown to the next level?
Dan Lihu had an almost accurate insight into the current trends of the country.
“The problem is this. Although he is an unconventional character, he rarely appears in the world.
“There must be a reason why he came out into the world without avoiding the public eye.”
“Reason… Yes, there must be a reason.”
“And there is only one reason for that at the moment.”
The eyes of both people shone.
“It’s a royal seal.”
“It’s a royal seal.”
Damsayoung frowned.
“We are closely examining whether troops were dispatched to seize the royal seal. However, no abnormal trends have been observed so far.”
“There is a high probability that they have sent experts skilled in stealth techniques. Still, the moment they cross the Yangtze River, they will not be able to avoid our information network.”
“You can be confident about that. But…”
“I know what Master Ye is thinking.”
A cold expression appeared on Dan Lihu’s indifferent face.
“There is a risk of being stabbed in the face.”
“Yes.”
It was always like that. The Demonic Cult always caught us off guard. There was never a single time when common sense acted as predicted.
This is true even if you just look at Ma Gyoju’s move to the central region. No matter how important the royal seal was, it was difficult to understand that the religious leader would go out into the world in person.
Things that are difficult to understand are taken for granted. So it was a difficult organization to deal with.
“It’s not strange no matter what they do. However, they would not have sent a raiding team as blatantly as the religious leader did.”
“I agree. “Because that’s not unconventional, it’s stupid.”
“yes.”
“Unconventional… Unconventional. “What kind of unconventional strategy are they going to use to seize the royal seal?”
It was then.
“Lord. “It’s urgent!”
The eyes of both people shone.
“Please come in.”
The Lord of Heaven and Earth hurriedly opened the door and came in.
“The Namgung family is on the move.”
“Namgoong?”
“That’s right.”
There was surprise on Dam Sa-young’s face. Dan Lihu also seemed unexpected.
“It is said that seven members of the Namgung family got into a fight with the Iron Blooded Military Team and all died.”
“What?!”
Anhui bordered the territory of Iron Blood Castle. They are trying not to bump into each other, but if they do, they can easily bump into each other.
“Because?”
“Currently, the Nangong family has delivered an official protest document to the Iron Blood Castle.
“Seeing as he sent out official letters throughout Anhui and attracted the clans he had ties with, it appears that he actually had war in mind.”
I had no idea something like this would happen.
With the power of the Namgung family, it is difficult to handle the iron-blooded castle. However, the main forces of Iron Blood Castle were maintaining the front line in the middle of the central plain.
In such a situation, the power of the Namgung family would be enough to attack the Iron Blood Fortress.
In addition, the Namgung family has the best sword in the central region of the time. If he joins us, we could cause more damage than we can imagine.
“And…”
“Is there any other information?”
“It’s not accurate information, but it’s somewhat unexpected…”
Dan Lihu asked before Damsayoung.
“Don’t hesitate and tell me right away.”
“Oh yeah! “It is said that people suspected of being soldiers from Binggung came in through Okmungwan in Gansu.”
Dam Sa-young and Dan Li-hu looked at each other.
After staring at each other for a while, Dam Sa-young was the first to open her mouth.
“Which do you think you are?”
“I think it’s most likely an ice palace.”
“My thoughts are the same.”
“Nangong En is the person who helped kidnap the emperor. “If you help with something like that this time, the lives of the entire family will be in danger.”
Damsayoung picked up a letter scattered on the table.
“Among the Demon Cultist’s party, there is a person suspected of being the Ice Palace’s Small Palace Lord.”
“There is a high probability that it is a guide, but I cannot be sure. “Maybe he’s a hostage.”
Dam Sa-yeong gave an order to the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
“Concentrate the northwest intelligence network on Okmunguan right now! “Let’s closely investigate those presumed to be Binggung!”
“All right!”
“And if it is certain that they belong to the Ice Palace…”
Dam Sa-young had a terrifying murderous intent on her face.
“After I find the royal seal, I will summon the Lord of Heavenly Dragon Palace.”
