Chapter 141

It was when he was writing without rest, moving his brush continuously.

He felt a faint presence. His senses, having reached the Harmony Realm, cried out.

Someone had come.

He immediately put down his brush and drew the sword that had been standing beside him.

“Who goes there!”

At his shout, two men entered through the window.

And the moment he saw those two, Kang Cheol-san’s eyes widened greatly.

“…Could it be… the Mixed Path Demon Flame Palace’s… Black Flame Demon Hand…?”

“Hey, am I some friend of yours or something!”

Startled by that roar, Kang Cheol-san immediately assumed the Embracing Fist posture.

“…I apologize. It was unexpected, so the words came out without my knowing. Please forgive me generously.”

Then he continued speaking again.

“Kang Cheol-san, master of Cheonryeongdang, pays respects to Lord Woo Rin of the Mixed Path Demon Flame Palace.”

Then lightning struck in his mind.

Why had the Sichuan Sect taken no measures? Perhaps that question was wrong.

The rumor that Woo Rin of the Mixed Path Demon Flame Palace had gone missing while meeting Lee Ja-gyeom of Jeok An had reached even here in Sa Ryang.

But what if he hadn’t gone missing, but had temporarily withdrawn due to unavoidable circumstances?

And if the main alliance of the Sichuan Sect had now called the Mixed Path Demon Flame Palace back?

As expected of Kang Cheon-u.

He doesn’t lead a massive organization for nothing.

Thinking this, Kang Cheol-san’s expression brightened instantly.

With the support of the Mixed Path Demon Flame Palace, even that bastard Seol Woon-hwi would have no choice but to stop.

It wasn’t just making an enemy of the Sichuan Sect alone, and with the Martial Alliance already his enemy, would he also make an enemy of the Mixed Path Demon Flame Palace, one of the Four Demonic Outer Sects? This was absolutely not a matter that a mere bastard could decide alone.

He had crossed the line by far.

Now he had to speak up.

You’ve come personally to help Sa Ryang.

It was just when he was about to voice those exact words.

“Kang Cheol-san… Kang Cheol-san, master of Cheonryeongdang!!”

“…Yes… I am… Kang Cheol-san…”

“How dare you conspire with Lee Ja-gyeom to assassinate me?”

“…What?”

“Look at this insolent bastard. I could never have imagined how high the Sichuan Sect’s nose was held, but now I think I understand.”

“What on earth… are you talking about…?”

“Are you making excuses! There were those who attacked me while I was heading to Jeok An! That was you.”

“…What?”

“Didn’t you and Lee Ja-gyeom try to kill me directly! You bastard worse than human vermin!”

Saying this, Woo Rin kicked off from his position and shouted.

“Die!”

This was something that simply couldn’t be explained.

What is this situation?

Why is this person suddenly attacking me…?

No, more than that.

Why… why couldn’t he feel that level of spirit and pressure from Woo Rin, the Black Flame Demon Hand who was said to have reached the Body Establishment Boundary?

It was strange.

He thought so until he saw the tremendous level of demonic transformation that bloomed from Woo Rin’s body.

Returning Fire Flowing Shadow Step.

Black flames erupted from beneath Woo Rin’s feet. They were not soot, but no different from living beings.

In an instant, the study burst into flames.

Whoosh.

Demonic transformation swirled around Woo Rin’s both hands.

Its size was enough to completely hide Woo Rin’s appearance, and it was certain.

Demonic transformation of that size was a technique that only those who had reached at least the Body Establishment Boundary could display.

He didn’t know what was happening or how, but he had to respond for now.

Iron Ridge Nine Profound Arts.

Iron Body Heaven-Human.

Kang Cheol-san’s body changed instantly. His skin became as hard as steel, and golden light flowed from his eyes.

This was the secret technique of Cheonryeongdang’s supreme secret manual, the Iron Ridge Nine Profound Arts.

It was also a martial art that received good evaluation not only from Cheonryeongdang but also from outside, with legends saying that if trained to the extreme, one could achieve diamond-like invulnerability.

“Please… calm down!”

He thrust his shoulder directly toward Woo Rin. He intended to push him back first, but he had underestimated Woo Rin’s technique too much.

Mixed Demon Twin Fire Lotus

The massive demonic transformation wrapped around both hands immediately changed into lotus shapes and struck Kang Cheol-san’s shoulder directly.

Kwaaaaang-!!

“Kkeuk…!”

Before Kang Cheol-san, who had been pushed back, could come to his senses from the pain, he saw it.

Two black lotuses climbing up his shoulder.

He immediately concentrated all his internal energy on his shoulder. Thanks to Iron Body Heaven-Human, it was only burning his aura rather than his flesh, but if he didn’t remove this immediately, he would first lose his right shoulder, and then his upper body.

The moment he cleared away the black lotuses.

A shadow fell before his eyes.

Paaaack-!!

Woo Rin’s foot struck Kang Cheol-san’s nose bridge hard, and he flew straight through the wall.

* * *

At first, it didn’t make sense.

Why Woo Rin of all people?

But he didn’t ask or anything like that.

Woon-hwi’s actions always had reasons in some way or another.

That was faith based on solid trust.

It was Woon-hwi, not someone else.

Woon-hwi had already deeply permeated Han Mu-rin’s heart, so there was no reason to doubt.

However, understanding the actions was a different story.

At this moment, Han Mu-rin finally understood the strategy contained in Woon-hwi’s actions.

The real purpose of Woon-hwi disguising himself as Woo Rin to attack Cheonryeongdang was to plant seeds of distrust between the Martial Alliance and the Sichuan Sect.

Down below, Woon-hwi fought with Kang Cheol-san in Woo Rin’s appearance, shouting loudly.

“Why did you try to assassinate me! Did you look down on the Mixed Path Demon Flame Palace! How dare you try to sow discord between us and the Ten Thousand Year Snow Palace? Huh? Did you think I would die to the likes of you or Lee Ja-gyeom!?”

All of this was a clever scheme.

Through Woon-hwi’s acting, a new ‘truth’ was being created.

Specifically, the story that Lee Ja-gyeom had tried to assassinate Woo Rin of the Mixed Path Demon Flame Palace to frame the Ten Thousand Year Snow Palace, but had failed.

If this truth spread, distrust between the Martial Alliance and the Sichuan Sect would deepen, and the Mixed Path Demon Flame Palace would also be drawn into this conflict.

Naturally, no matter how much the Martial Alliance denied it, suspicion would continue.

What about Han Mu-rin’s appearance as he stood with Woo Rin now?

He looked exactly like a martial artist belonging to the Martial Alliance.

People like Kang Cheon-u or Gun Mu-gyeol would have hidden shadows, and if someone claimed that shadow was involved, how could they explain it?

That’s what agitation is like.

To refute one statement requires dozens or hundreds of words and evidence.

Han Mu-rin swallowed in amazement.

As Woon-hwi had said, ‘expanding the front lines is what fools do,’ and now he was making his enemies do exactly that.

What was even more amazing was Woon-hwi’s appearance.

That martial art where black lotuses bloomed was both complex and powerful.

Showing such skill would make Woon-hwi’s lies even more convincing.

“…A genius?”

Han Mu-rin was genuinely amazed.

* * *

Woon-hwi, no, Woo Rin made his judgment.

This was enough.

He couldn’t continue acting like a martial artist who had reached the Body Establishment Boundary.

After all, his true realm was Samhwachujeong.

He had stuffed himself with all kinds of spirit pills including the Divine Ginseng Pill and used Heo Hyeon Energy to make it appear so, but now even that was over.

This much was sufficient for the process of turning falsehood into truth.

He sent a telepathic message to Han Mu-rin.

-Watch carefully. True demonic transformation means being able to melt anything.

He spread both hands wide.

Mixed Demon Fire Dance.

Purple flames explosively erupted from Woo Rin’s body. They soon danced in the air as if alive, then shot toward Kang Cheol-san like an arrow.

“Stop… Stop this!! There must be some misunderstanding… Huk-!”

Perhaps the speed was faster than expected, as Kang Cheol-san fled in terror, but he couldn’t predict what came next.

Woo Rin kicked off from his position.

Returning Fire Flowing Shadow Step.

Black flames erupted wherever he stepped.

Woo Rin, who had instantly moved toward Kang Cheol-san, threw his fist.

Black Fire Three Forms.

Flame Meeting Brushing Heaven.

The demonic fire fist, swirling like a whirlwind, struck Kang Cheol-san’s solar plexus hard.

Kwaaaaang-!!

“Kuhuk….”

Kang Cheol-san, who had been pushed back and collapsed on the ground, lifted his head with difficulty.

“…Are you… insane?”

There wasn’t a moment’s hesitation.

Thud-!

Woo Rin’s foot, swung in an instant, burst Kang Cheol-san’s head.

Woo Rin turned his head.

Only silence filled Cheonryeongdang.

“You bastards remember this too. Whether the wrath of Hondo Maryeom Palace extends to you or stops with this fool will depend on how you act from now on. Understand?!”

“Yes… Yes…!”

Woo Rin turned his head.

Then he performed the Embracing Fist toward the person who appeared to be from the ‘Martial Alliance.’

“I’m grateful for the great hero’s help. Now three remain.”

To say it again, Han Mu-rin was truly a man with quick wits.

Silently.

So very naturally, he lightly nodded his head in that place.

If not now, when would he ever hear Woon-hwi call him a great hero?

Inwardly, it wasn’t unpleasant.

* * *

No one could stop him.

Woo Rin next went to meet Jang Un-hong, the sect leader of Apwhadomunhwa.

But, whether it was truly good fortune, in that place were also Lee Pung-woon, sect leader of Cheonggeom Gate, and Hwang Maeng, sect leader of Baekho Gate.

The leaders of the three gates among the One Hall Three Gates, which could be called the ruling forces of Sa Ryang, were gathered together.

Why they were gathered was obvious.

“Great Hero Woo Rin…! Please calm down. This is truly a great misunderstanding. Right now we are executing a plan to pressure Seol Woon-hwi of the Ten Thousand Year Snow Palace. This even has the Martial Alliance’s help… Who on earth told you what to make you have such a misunderstanding!”

As soon as Jang Un-hong finished speaking, Lee Pung-woon of Cheonggeom Gate pointed his finger at Yu Hwa beside Woo Rin.

“That bastard! That bastard there. That bastard is impersonating the Martial Alliance right now.”

Hwang Maeng of Baekho Gate picked up those words.

“That’s right. Right now Great Hero Woo Rin is being deceived by that bastard. Hey! What the hell is your name? What kind of bastard are you to sow discord between the Martial Alliance and Hondo Maryeom Palace!”

Then Yu Hwa chuckled.

“…Laughing? This bastard… It’s you. Yes… It’s you! To trap us in a snare…!”

Hwang Maeng couldn’t continue his words.

Demonic fire surged around him. Woo Rin was charging. The terrified Hwang Maeng tried to draw his sword and kick off backward, but unfortunately, Woo Rin was faster.

Thud-!

Hwang Maeng’s head exploded just like that.

Behind him were only the traces of Returning Fire Flowing Shadow Step.

In just one move, he had instantly taken the head of a Samhwachujeong master.

Woo Rin turned his head.
