165.

It didn’t matter what Seol Mujin’s status was.

Seol Mujin, who killed his only blood relative and beloved younger brother, would be killed no matter what.

“Keep the Cheongseng Seventy-Two Stars ready to deploy at any time.”

“What? Are you planning to mobilize the Cheongseng Seventy-Two Stars for this matter?”

Just like Shaolin’s One Hundred Eight Arhats or Huashan’s Thirty-Six Plum Blossom Swords, the Qingcheng Sect had also created the Cheongseng Seventy-Two Stars.

They selected seventy-two disciples with the most outstanding martial arts and qualities among the second-generation disciples and trained them for the past seven years.

It was Yang Chang-sun’s masterpiece to make the Qingcheng Sect comparable to Shaolin, Mudang, and Huashan Sect.

“If we don’t use the Cheongseng Seventy-Two Stars during the Qingcheng Sect’s crisis, when would we use them?”

Knowing that no words would get through to Yang Chang-sun right now, Baek Chungseok kept his mouth shut.

So Baek Chungseok left the sect leader’s room after saying, “I will prepare the Cheongseng Seventy-Two Stars.”

But the place he headed to was deep within the Qingcheng Sect where the Grand Elders resided, Yeonyun Pavilion.

There were currently two Grand Elders who were one generation higher than the current sect leader and elders.

There were more seniors with higher generations than the sect leader, but they had all gone into seclusion or left for the world for various reasons.

The two people called the Twin Grand Elders within the Qingcheng Sect spent most of their day playing Go.

“Come on, let me take back that move!”

“Where in the world is there Go where you can take back moves!”

“You took back a move yesterday too!”

“You? Did you just address your senior brother as ‘you’?”

“We’re both getting old together, what’s with the senior brother… And I’m two years older!”

“In Cheongseong, generation matters more than age!”

“They say the years of Cheongseong pass people by!”

Since this was a frequent commotion, Baek Chungseok didn’t mind and spoke from in front of the room.

“Uncle Masters. This is disciple Baek Chungseok.”

As soon as his voice came out, the inside suddenly became quiet.

Baek Chungseok announced his arrival again.

There was still no answer.

“I know you’re inside. Disciple will enter.”

As Baek Chungseok was about to grab the door, a loud shout burst from inside.

“You brat! Where are you trying to enter without the owner’s permission!”

“We have no business with you, so get lost!”

The Twin Grand Elders hated meeting people except for the servants who attended to them.

“This is a matter concerning the survival of the Qingcheng Sect.”

“Huh? What grand event could be happening?”

“Sounds like he’s threatening to open the door?”

“That guy isn’t one to talk nonsense, is he?”

He’s not one to talk nonsense. He’s a dog who listens well to the sect leader.”

A bitter smile crossed Baek Chungseok’s lips.

No one spoke as harshly as that, but many people within the Qingcheng Sect thought Baek Chungseok was the sect leader’s confidant.

Baek Chungseok didn’t bother to deny it either.

He had acted like a tongue in the mouth because he believed Yang Chang-sun’s actions were for the Qingcheng Sect.

If Yang Chang-sun harmed the Qingcheng Sect, he would never follow those orders.

Like this Seol Mujin incident.

So despite Yang Chang-sun’s orders, instead of assembling the Cheongseng Seventy-Two Stars, he came to find the Twin Grand Elders.

“If I bark like a dog, will you open the door?”

As soon as those words fell, the door opened and the Twin Grand Elders came outside.

One person was well over six feet tall and the other was a short five-footer.

Myeong Jangryeon and Myeong Huseong.

They were such close senior and junior brothers and shared the same surname, so they were called the Cheongseong Twin Myeongs in Murim.

When they were making their name in Murim, they were truly the greatest masters of the Qingcheng Sect.

They argued that their martial arts were superior to each other, but they never fought seriously.

Growling at each other was just entertainment for the two of them.

When Myeong Jangryeon sat his bottom on a decorative stone in the courtyard, Myeong Huseong stood beside him.

Their sitting and standing heights were roughly similar.

Myeong Jangryeon asked.

“What do you mean the survival of Cheongseong is at stake?”

Baek Chungseok briefly explained the matters related to Seol Mujin.

Since he didn’t know all the inside details either, the explanation had to be simple.

After hearing the whole story, Myeong Huseong let out an elderly sigh.

“So we’ve become enemies with a government official?”

“Not just any government official, but a Geumeuiwi who receives the Third Prince’s favor. And he’s also a master of martial arts.”

“How high could a government official’s martial arts be?”

Myeong Huseong responded to Myeong Jangryeon’s words.

“There are many masters in the government that can’t be ignored.”

“That’s the military.”

“Military or government, same thing.”

“Are military and government the same?”

The two bickered again over trivial matters.

Baek Chungseok waited for their argument to end.

If he interfered carelessly, the arrows would surely turn toward him and he’d suffer.

Myeong Huseong asked Baek Chungseok.

“So the sect leader wants to mobilize all of Cheongseong to avenge his personal enemy?”

“He’s planning to deploy the Cheongseng Seventy-Two Stars.”

“The kids the sect leader raised? Are they useful?”

“They wouldn’t be embarrassing anywhere. They’re disciples that Cheongseong put all its effort into raising.”

“I thought the meals had gotten worse, turns out all the money was spent on those kids.”

Since thirty percent of the Qingcheng Sect’s annual budget went to the Cheongseng Seventy-Two Stars, Myeong Jangryeon’s words weren’t wrong.

“Why did you, who does whatever the sect leader tells you, come to find us?”

To Myeong Huseong’s question, Baek Chungseok answered with an extremely serious face.

“Do you two Uncle Masters think it’s right for the Qingcheng Sect to fight Seol Mujin?”

“Why ask us that? It’s for you to decide. We’re has-beens.”

“Cheongseong’s fate hangs in the balance, and you’re really going to just stand by with your arms crossed?”

“Do you think Cheongseong will collapse over something like this?”

Myeong Jangryeon picked up where Myeong Huseong left off.

“How could there not have been conflicts with the government in Qingcheng Sect’s history? We’ve overcome them each time and will overcome this time too.”

“The past and now are completely different. In this chaotic time, if we become enemies with the government, we’ll be swept away by the waves like a sandcastle on a beach.”

“Aren’t you the dog who listens well to the sect leader? Did you have a brain to think such things too?”

“You can call me whatever you like. Just please don’t turn away from the Qingcheng Sect.”

“What power do we has-beens have?”

“The elders still follow you two Grand Elders, don’t they?”

Though the Twin Grand Elders spent their days like idle gentlemen without any assigned duties, their influence remained.

Even now they were the greatest masters of the Qingcheng Sect, and the disciples they taught occupied important positions in the Qingcheng Sect.

Myeong Huseong narrowed his eyes and asked.

“Your words now mean you’ll go against the sect leader’s will, do you really mean to do so?”

“If we try to avenge according to senior brother sect leader’s will, it’s clear as day that the Qingcheng Sect will be in danger, so how can I just watch?”

“Rebellion…”

“That expression is a bit…”

“If this isn’t rebellion, what is it? Aren’t your words now saying we should pull Chang-sun down from the sect leader position?”

At Myeong Jangryeon’s words, Baek Chungseok waved his hands in denial.

“I’ve never thought that far! I’m just saying we should wisely get through the Seol Mujin incident!”

“I know the sect leader a little, and he will never give up revenge.”

Yang Chang-sun was a person who would never bend once he set his mind to something.

His stubbornly strong will, fierce to the point of being relentless, had elevated him to the position of sect leader of the Qingcheng Sect.

“If the elders and hall masters speak with one voice, wouldn’t sect leader senior brother also bend his stubbornness?”

Myeong Jangryeon asked.

“So you want us to take the lead and rebel against the sect leader?”

“Please try to persuade the others. Talking to sect leader senior brother would probably be like playing music to a cow.”

“What will you do if the sect leader doesn’t change his mind?”

“We can only hope he will.”

Myeong Jangryeon and Myeong Huseong looked at each other.

Having been together for so many years, they could read each other’s hearts just by looking into each other’s eyes.

“Hah—! I was planning to finish my life leisurely like a scholar playing go, but what kind of hardship is this in my old age?”

At Myeong Huseong’s grumbling, Myeong Jangryeon scolded him.

“It’s just running around for a day or two and flapping your gums, what hardship is that?”

“Would it end with just that? We’ll have to take all the sect leader’s ranting.”

“They say you live long if you get cursed at.”

“Do you want to live long?”

“Yeah.”

“Then live until you’re smearing shit on walls.”

Baek Chungseok spoke.

“I’ll contact the other elders.”

Thus, the Qingcheng Sect moved busily beneath the surface.

But no matter how secretly they proceeded, they couldn’t completely fool the eyes of Yang Chang-sun, the sect leader.

“Brother Baek is harboring different thoughts?”

Jo Heetae, the hall master of Baekryeon Hall, habitually looked left and right as he spoke.

“He’s meeting with various elders and hall masters, putting the Twin Supreme Elders at the forefront.”

“For what purpose?”

“To stop your plan to take revenge on Seol Mujin, sect leader.”

“What? He wants to interfere with my revenge? Brother Baek does?”

Yang Chang-sun shook his head.

“That can’t be. How could Brother Baek betray me? That’s impossible.”

He couldn’t even imagine Baek Chungseok’s betrayal.

“The logic is that if we confront Seol Mujin, the Qingcheng Sect might be destroyed, but how could that make sense? How could the Qingcheng Sect crumble before a mere government official?”

“Baek Chungseok said that?”

“Yes.”

“How dare Brother Baek betray me? Where is that bastard now!”

“Until an hour ago, he was at Hwaryon Hall where Elder Suseok resides.”

Yang Chang-sun immediately set off for Hwaryon Hall.

While the inside of the Qingcheng Sect was on the verge of explosion, the scenery remained peaceful as always.

Flowers bloomed as splendidly as ever, and butterflies and birds flew about in all directions.

Yang Chang-sun, boiling with anger, couldn’t even see such beautiful scenery.

Following his beloved younger brother’s death, now the betrayal of his most trusted brother!

“Huh?”

Jo Heetae, who was walking beside him, made a surprised sound, and Yang Chang-sun stopped walking.

Baek Chungseok appeared, stepping on the stepping stones laid between the grass.

On his left and right were the Twin Supreme Elders, Myeong Jangryeon and Myeong Huseong.

Baek Chungseok, startled upon seeing Yang Chang-sun, gave a brief greeting.

Seeing Jo Heetae beside Yang Chang-sun, he probably had some idea of the situation.

“I was just about to go find the sect leader, and here we meet by chance.”

Myeong Jangryeon stepped forward and said so.

Other major sects showed respect to their sect leaders no matter how high their rank, but the Twin Supreme Elders had no such etiquette.

“For what business have the two Supreme Elders come out for a stroll?”

“Because someone keeps crying that the Qingcheng Sect will be destroyed.”

“Such ridiculous nonsense…”

Myeong Huseong cut off Yang Chang-sun’s words.

“But it really might be destroyed. After looking into it, this fellow called Seol Mujin is very dangerous.”

“This is not a matter for you two retired elders to concern yourselves with.”

“Though we’ve withdrawn from Qingcheng Sect affairs, the Qingcheng Sect is still our sect.”

“I am the sect leader of that sect, and I make all the decisions!”

“We cannot tolerate using the Qingcheng Sect as a tool for personal revenge.”

“How is this a personal matter? A government figure has invaded the Qingcheng Sect!”

“He killed your younger brother.”

“He killed the younger brother and nephew of the Qingcheng Sect’s leader! How is that not humiliating the Qingcheng Sect?”

Just then, a disciple came running frantically.

“Sect leader! Seol Mujin has come!”

Everyone present was shocked.

“Seol Mujin came here on his own feet?”

“Yes. He came with the young masters of the Namgung Family, Jegal Family, and Hwangbo Family.”

Baek Chungseok spoke.

“They said Seol Mujin has a special relationship with the Odaesega, and that information seems to be correct.”

Yang Chang-sun spoke in a thick voice through gritted teeth.

“How dare he come to the Qingcheng Sect himself. How much must he look down on our Qingcheng Sect.”

Yang Chang-sun said to Jo Heetae beside him.

“Prepare the Cheongseng Seventy-Two Stars.”

“Understood.”

Watching Jo Heetae dash away, Baek Chungseok asked.

“Sect leader senior brother. Are you really planning to fight Seol Mujin?”
