Evil Hegemon Martial God

Chapter 113

“Every time this happens, it truly becomes sorrowful.”

Doyecheon said.

The opponent before his eyes merely remained silent.

“….”

Quiet silence enveloped the surroundings.

Inside a pavilion within Sadocheon, Doyecheon was having a private meeting with someone.

However, the opponent whose face was hidden in shadows neither opened their mouth easily nor showed any reaction.

“It seems Heukpaesong and the Martial Arts Alliance have noticed the situation in our heaven. The way those rat bastards are busily moving around, all of Changsha is so noisy we can’t live.”

“Bucheonju.”

The silence of the inner chamber, where only Doyecheon’s voice had been heard, was broken.

Execution Squad Leader Hu Seong was glaring at Doyecheon with eyes that had sunk cold as ice.

“What remarkable intelligence gathering ability? If the situation were reversed, we would have found out much later.”

“Leave.”

Hu Seong’s order to depart.

But that didn’t simply mean to exit this room.

“Isn’t it sad? How could this not be a sad matter?”

“I told you to leave, Bucheonju.”

However, Doyecheon didn’t even pretend to listen and merely continued what he had to say.

In Hu Seong’s eyes, rage like wildfire was already dwelling.

Just suppressing and enduring his anger now was nearly exhausting Hu Seong’s patience.

‘…But I must endure.’

The pavilion where they were located was positioned not far from Maengjujeon.

And Bucheonju Doyecheon had shown no movement for the past two days.

But at the same time as dawn broke, he led his faction and advanced to this place.

That’s why Hu Seong had created this private meeting.

While leaving a final warning that he absolutely could not set foot in Maengjujeon.

It was advice to exercise restraint and not leave anything to regret.

“Maengjujeon is the largest and most magnificent of all buildings in our heaven. Do you know why?”

“….”

“It’s because it’s where Cheon-ju resides and conducts affairs. The reason it’s in the deepest place and the most spacious is also for that reason.”

The core of Sadocheon was undoubtedly Sadocheonju, Dokgo Cheon.

Therefore, Maengjujeon boasted the largest scale for the purpose of defense to protect Cheon-ju rather than splendor.

“The wall-like barriers surrounding Maengjujeon as the center. Even the four gates of east, west, south, and north.”

Doyecheon pointed out the structures built to defend against intruders one by one.

As if all of this would fall into his grasp immediately.

“Despite the unprecedented emergency situation where Sadocheon’s Cheon-ju has fallen, it seems your Execution Squad failed to fulfill its role, so we also investigated for the past two days.”

“….”

“What do you think that conclusion was?”

“Bucheonju!!”

Hu Seong burst out in an angry roar.

Hearing the furious voice, Doyecheon rather smiled bitterly.

“After the incident occurred, there are no traces of the culprit escaping outside the four gates. That means.”

Doyecheon’s voice rose as if stretching.

As if he intended to decorate the climax of this stage himself.

“An insider’s doing. Could there be any other possibility besides this?”

Doyecheon looked directly at Hu Seong with a chilling smile.

“I’m sorry, but we cannot trust you.”

“How dare you!”

Hu Seong clenched his teeth tightly.

Right now, Doyecheon was trying to use the defenses meant to protect the castle lord in reverse to frame the Execution Squad as the culprit.

“I must personally meet with Cheon-ju.”

“…!!”

Hu Seong didn’t answer, but Doyecheon continued what he had to say as if he expected this.

“In half a hour, I’ll come to visit directly.”

Doyecheon rose from his seat after finishing those words.

Until the sound of footsteps echoing through the inner chamber grew distant, Hu Seong kept his eyes tightly shut.

Finally, when Doyecheon left and silence completely settled, Hu Seong also rose from his seat.

“Danzu!”

At the same time, a subordinate who had been waiting outside approached.

A resolute will could be seen on Hu Seong’s face.

“Send a signal to everyone.”

“…!”

Now everyone had to know.

The bloody internal strife that was about to unfold.

“When half an hour passes.”

Hu Seong announced the predetermined future with a rigidly hardened face and voice.

“They will advance toward Maengjujeon.”

* * *

Even if you called it a bolt from the blue in the middle of the night rather than worldly affairs, this would have some degree.

This was the sentiment shared by all warriors and common people of Sadocheon today.

“No, what is this about? Suddenly Cheon-ju was ambushed….”

“It wasn’t an ordinary ambush, so his life hangs by a thread?”

“He’s that critically ill?”

Sadocheonju had fallen into critical condition.

He was said to be hovering between life and death from an unexpected ambush.

Shocking news that was absolutely unbelievable was spreading.

“Do you believe that? What kind of person is Saja Dohuang!”

“That’s right. Living and living, we hear all kinds of strange rumors.”

Everyone waved their hands dismissively, saying it was nonsense.

Saja Dohuang Dokgo Cheon.

Did it make sense that Sadocheon’s absolute ruler had fallen?

Just when everyone was denying it as nonsense.

“Wh-what is this?”

“Why is Bucheonju suddenly?”

Doyecheon began to move.

Leading thousands of warriors who followed him.

The sight of him boldly heading toward Sadocheon’s grounds along Changsha’s main street.

Naturally, this wasn’t something that would happen on an ordinary day, and because of the previous rumors, everyone began to flee in panic.

The main street was emptied in an instant, and the common people hid in their rooms, trembling.

Even if they were country folk who didn’t know the martial world, they couldn’t help but understand this atmosphere.

That civil war had broken out in Sadocheon.

Step, step-

The center of the main street, the figure leading at the very front was naturally Doyecheon.

He was Bucheonju, the person who had become the center of this entire faction.

Following behind him were the leaders of two of the Five Clans.

Namely, Jichaldan leader, Gwiyeongbisal Ham Baek and Jipgaekdan leader Yeombaegwi Hwang Jin-rang.

Behind them, four of the Ten Heavenly Commanders.

Gwanghon-dae, Cheonho-dae, Gwimong-dae, and Taesan-dae followed.

They exuded a menacing aura just from being seen.

And rightfully so.

Especially the Gwanghon-dae, who were veterans that had fought through countless battlefields alongside Doyecheon since his youth.

And the Cheonho-dae was the second-ranked combat unit among the Ten Heavenly Commanders.

One strange point was that Ham Mu-hyul, who was the Cheonho-daeju and Ham Baek’s son, was nowhere to be seen.

But there was no time to think about such subsequent situations and trivial questions.

“This is absolutely not a rebellion as they claim!”

Doyecheon raised his voice loudly before entering the main headquarters of Sadocheon.

It was to clarify the reason for the rebellion—no, the uprising.

“We have risen to rescue Cheon-ju from the hands of those beasts!”

Doyecheon shouted that they had stepped forward to protect Dokgo Cheon.

The gist was simple.

Regarding the recent series of incidents, Doyecheon had sought to meet with Cheon-ju.

He had to put an end to the false rumors that Cheon-ju was in critical condition.

“But the Jip-beop Dan-ju only repeats like a parrot that Cheon-ju has been poisoned and is too critical to meet!”

“Cheon-ju, who is Sapa Jeil-in, has already reached the realm of immunity to all poisons, as is well known in Gangho! They are deceiving us with such preposterous words!”

It was clearly Doyecheon’s lie, but there was a response.

Because the evidence was too clear.

The idea that Doyecheon, who had immunity to all poisons, was poisoned was absurd.

However, Hu Seong couldn’t reveal the true nature of the curse poison.

If he spoke of an unfamiliar technique that no one would know, it could only increase suspicion even more.

“Then what is the truth! I believe that Hu Seong’s refusal to let us into the Maengjujeon is not for Cheon-ju’s sake! It’s to hide the fatal mistake they made by failing to properly protect him!”

Knowing such facts, Doyecheon further distorted the truth.

“I will definitely meet him directly and confirm what state Cheon-ju is in! No one will be able to stop our advance!”

“Uwaaaah!”

As soon as Doyecheon finished speaking, his subordinate warriors responded with cheers.

The watching warriors and civilians also nodded their heads.

They thought Doyecheon’s claims seemed plausible.

For the warriors belonging to Hu Seong and Dokgo Cheon’s faction, this appeared as the worst possible outcome.

“…Danzu-nim. Saryong-daeju and the Saryong-dae have sent word that they will maintain neutrality.”

“Huu, in the end.”

The neutral forces within Sadocheon had been shaken.

While there was circumstantial evidence that Doyecheon was the one who ambushed Dokgo Cheon, there was no physical proof.

In such a situation, when Doyecheon twisted the circumstances and distorted the truth, they ended up being played.

“Danzu-nim, among the Hucheon-wei as well, many have expressed their intention not to participate in this incident…”

“The overall military strength of our defensive forces is insufficient compared to the enemy…”

Those who fell for Bucheonju’s schemes and harbored suspicions about Hu Seong and his forces increased.

They soon defected or declared neutrality, and this burden fell entirely on Hu Seong.

Fortunately, General Maeng-po, Grand Administrator Jeung Yubeom, and others had confirmed themselves as allies.

If even they hadn’t been there, they would have faced a truly unimaginably terrible worst-case scenario.

‘Even so, we’re still at a disadvantage in overall military strength.’

This was an unchanging fact, so Hu Seong did his best to rack his brains to overcome this crisis.

But no matter how much he thought about it, there was only one method.

“Mobilize all forces to thoroughly defend the four gates! Don’t let even a single ant into the Maengjujeon!”

Hu Seong commanded resolutely.

Even in this situation, he had no intention of retreating.

That was Hu Seong’s loyalty.

* * *

Maengjujeon, West Gate encampment.

Gulp.

Go Bok-gil unconsciously swallowed his dry saliva.

The sound of swallowing echoed around him.

It was because of the flag fluttering in the distance.

Gwanghon (Mad Soul)

An elite unit that could be said to have been personally trained by Doyecheon.

Of all places, they had to come here, to the West Gate!

Go Bok-gil repeatedly took deep breaths, trying to calm his trembling hands.

Then he turned his head and spoke to the colleague who was in charge of defending the West Gate with him.

“Jang Daeju-nim.”

Jang Bo-heom of Doksi Peak met his eyes.

Right, this man is also one of the Ten Heavenly Lords, so he must surely have a secret move.

Go Bok-gil spoke a word to gain confidence.

“We can stop them, right?”

“…Well. I’m not really sure either.”

“Eh?”
