Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 648
Episode 648. I’m thinking of making a temporary alliance
.
Cheonjibong Soyo Palace.
If Soyojeong is the residence of the Venerable Taeeul, Soyogung is where he conducts his official duties.
Yeonjeokha was ushered into the meeting room and sat across from Venerable Taeeul.
The other three gentlemen were nowhere to be seen, perhaps because he had called alone.
‘I bet you don’t know that I’ve been to Cheonjijong, right?’
It could have happened if Venerable Taeeul had had someone secretly watch over it.
Suddenly, my mind became complicated.
There is nothing to say even if it is treated as a minor for entering and exiting the Chunji sect during the war with the Chunji sect.
‘What will I say if I ask why you went?’
As Yeonjeokha diligently shook his head, Venerable Taeeul smiled and said,
“Long time no see. How have you been?”
“yes.”
I don’t like empty words that are connected.
Of course, in response, he did not ask about the current situation of Venerable Taeeul.
More than anything, I wasn’t curious about it, and I could see now that I was healthy.
Naturally, the conversation cut off.
The person who continued the awkward conversation befitting the caller was the Venerable Taeeul.
“Do you like the Three Crowns?”
“Yes, compared to the small septum, it is the heavenly palace.”
“I’m glad you like it. There seems to be a lot of talk about you being in the Triple Crown. I can send you there if you want.”
“are you okay. You have to move it, there it is.”
“is it.”
Venerable Taeeul looked at Yeonjeokha with a confused face.
It would have been nice to say that I liked the Samgwanjeong Pavilion, but there it was.
For some reason, it sounded like he would just use the triple crown because it would be fifty steps and hundred steps anyway.
“If you like the Three Crowns, I won’t recommend it any more. By the way, the reason I called you today is to entrust you with one thing.”
He stroked his throbbing chest.
I was relieved to hear that I wasn’t asking about my visit to Cheonjijong.
“What is it?”
“I don’t know how far you know, but right after the unexplored region was closed, the Cheontae Bell was struck at the Cheonroe Bell. Right now, we are confronting the masters of the Tiantai sect over Baeknyeonha of Wansanju.”
“Ah…”
I had already heard from Namgung-yeon, but he didn’t show it.
“A few days ago, Venerable Hanam of the Tianlei sect sent a messenger to ask for a temporary alliance. It must be a burden to fight the Tiantai sect with us behind their backs.”
I just listened silently.
When I heard that it was the Chun-roe Bell, a face of heartache came to mind.
Venerable Taeeul asked him, who was lost in his thoughts.
“…what do you think?”
“yes?”
Yeonjeokha, who couldn’t hear properly because he was thinking about something else, asked again.
“I asked which side do you think would win, the Tianlai sect or the Tiantai sect?”
“I don’t know.”
“is it? You and I are predicting the victory of the Thunder Bell. Since he was confident, he must have invaded Wansanju, where the head mountain of the Tiantai sect is located. Isn’t it?”
“Ah yes.”
Yeonjeokha did not refute.
It is because it is usually the one who strikes first that is stronger.
“But we are paying attention to what Tian Lei Zong said was ‘temporary’. That means you can hang out with us later.”
I shook my head in a row.
‘So what?’
He did not know why Venerable Taeeul was telling him such an important story.
What do you want from yourself listening to the sound of cold rice in Samgwanjeong Pavilion?
“So far, our enemies have been all kinds of things. To be precise, I was in a position to defend against the invasion of heaven and earth. But the Savior’s reality is changing moment by moment. The enemy is not the world and the world, and it seems that we are no longer able to hold back.”
Intense light poured out of the eyes of Venerable Taeeul, who had been submerged for a moment.
The serial enemies suddenly reminded me of Pacheonma-gun Seongmuhae, the green brisket.
Right now, Venerable Taeeul’s eyes resembled those of the Demon Lord Pacheon.
If it had been a calm lake before, now it was like a stormy sea.
‘So you’re saying you can hit the Thunder Bell or the Thunder Bell?’
Geopolitically, Soyojong is surrounded by Cheonroejong and Cheontaejong.
Therefore, in order to move anywhere, you had to go through the Cheonroejong or the Cheontaejong.
just as expected?
“The current reality is that if you don’t eat, you’ll be eaten. The ultimate goal of the sects is astronomy. As long as we have a heavenly gate, it means that we can become prey for other species as well as the Cheonji species.”
At those words, he nodded his head.
Regardless of whether Soyojong was strong or weak, it was the right decision.
“That’s why we’re thinking of forming a temporary alliance as well.”
“Ah, what about the Thunder Bell?”
Since it was the proposal of the Chun-roe sect and they were superior to the Chun-rae sect, I thought it would be the Chun-rae sect.
However, the answer of the Venerable Taeeul was different.
“No, I am thinking of the Tiantai sect. It is difficult for the Soyojong to deal with the Chun-roe sect, but the Tiantai sect is worth dealing with.”
“….”
I didn’t say Katabuta, who was connected.
In fact, it didn’t matter which one So-yo-jong held hands with first. After all, his goal was to unite the nine sects.
“I want you to meet the Tiantai sect and convey my will.”
“Me?”
Yeonjeokha opened her eyes wide and looked at the Venerable Taeeul.
I don’t know what kind of weighty proposal this is to myself who is still dark in the affairs of the clan.
“The existing gentlemen are too well known. If the other gentlemen go to Wansanju, they might notice the Tianlei Bell. So, you, whose face is not known yet, are the best candidates.”
“Grunt! Then can I just go and tell them?”
“I was going to write a separate letter, but there is a risk of loss, so please tell me verbally and find out what they want.”
“I don’t know about these things, but shouldn’t there be a specific story about what to do with Yeongcheonju if the Bell of Heaven collapses?”
Then, Venerable Taeeul smiled.
“If the Tiantai sect takes possession of Yeongcheonju, we will end up in isolation. Even in the Tiantai sect, you know that we will not yield. If Cheontaejong insists on having Yeongcheonju until the end, we will have to fight them again. That’s why it’s a temporary alliance.”
“Ah… but what happened to the Sabeolju Buddhist priest? I heard that you joined hands with them, but they didn’t help us soyojong jinnin in the unexplored region.”
“They say that the fight between the sects was complicated and fierce unlike in the past, so they gave up. Our cooperative relationship with them ended with the closure of the unexplored region.”
“Anyway, you’re no longer an ally of the Soyo species?”
“Strictly speaking, none of the sects of the Savior have ever been allies of the Soyo sect. It was a casual relationship that would end if either party took their hands off the court servant.”
“Can we consider the temporary alliance with the Tiantai sect as an extension of that?”
Yeonjeokha looked at the Venerable Taeeul with meaningful eyes.
It’s an alliance, so I thought that the faction was united, but it seems that’s not the case.
“Right. If we were to compare the Savior’s clan to an animal, it would be a tiger. There’s never any crowding. That’s why Chen Lei-zong said it was ‘temporary’.”
It was only then that I was able to understand the basic mindset of the clans of the clans.
Top predators like tigers don’t need to pack.
The position of the sect in Kuju was just like that.
Now, the tigers who stayed in their territory are running amok due to the destruction of the sanctuary.
Thanks to that, he and Namgung-yeon got a chance to return to Gangho, so it’s something to be thankful for.
“When can I leave?”
“The sooner the better, so let’s go now.”
“yes.”
After bowing to the Venerable Taeeul, he immediately returned to Samgwanjeong.
Gwaneumbong Samgwanjeong Pavilion.
Before leaving for Wansanju, Yeonjeokha called his one and only disciple Byeonghyu Bangbangsa.
Byeonghyu Bangsa looked at the backpack placed next to the table and asked.
“Are you going out again?”
“Oh, so it happened. This time, I decided to go on an errand for the Venerable Taeeul.”
“No, Venerable Taeeul treats Emperor Yeon with cold food, but why is he ordering him to run errands?”
“The other gentlemen are sending me because their faces are too well known.”
“How is it that the faces of the people floating above the clouds are known?”
“When you eat and sleep, you go down to the ground.”
“How do I feel cheap? I was put in a triple crown and suddenly I was running errands.”
“If a servant of Soyojong goes, he should go. Can you tell me?”
“What are you going for?”
“If you know, you will get hurt.”
“Ah yes. Then I’ll stop paying attention. Have a good trip.”
“If someone finds me, they say that I descended the mountain on an errand for the Venerable Taeeul.”
“When are you coming back?”
“It won’t take as long as last time. Ten days at the latest?”
“No one will be looking for it, but if someone asks, I will answer that.”
“Okay then go.”
When Yeon Jeok-ha stood up with his travel bag, Byeong-hyu Bangsa also hurriedly got up from his seat.
“Are you going right away?”
“It’s because it’s a race against time.”
I didn’t tell the story to the sister-in-law Byeong-hyu.
Since it was directly related to Soyojong’s participation in the war, he was careful as much as possible.
After a while, Yeonjeokha, who went out to the yard, flew to the west sky using the fortune-telling technique.
***
Wansanju.
Kang Dong-seong.
Doripo.
At noon.
Doripo in the middle of the day was quiet, unlike usual when it was noisy.
There were many people on the street, but everyone said only what was necessary and kept their mouths shut.
Even when I accidentally said the necessary words, I was careful not to get caught.
These are all changes that occurred after the masters of the Chun-roe sect invaded and took over the port of Doripo.
While trying to cross the Baeknyeonha River using Unjongsul, he changed direction to Doripo.
It is to meet Simtong and understand the atmosphere of the Tianlei sect.
I wondered if the Chun Lai sect was sympathetic to the Soyo sect enough to offer a temporary alliance.
After watching for about half an hour (1 hour) from a place where the lodgings of the masters of the Chun Lei sect could be seen clearly, heartache appeared.
In the midst of dating, he sent a telegram to Shimtong, who was having lunch.
-After eating, come out to the riverside of Baekriha.
Heartache paused, perhaps surprised by the sudden electrical sound, then nodded.
Baekriha Riverside.
Seeing Yeonjeokha, Shimtong spoke first.
“Seeing that you are much more devoted than before, you must have obtained the sword spirit?”
“You didn’t get Old Sim, did you?”
“Yes, I suffered until death and came out empty-handed.”
“Where did you come out alive? They say that I’m dead enough to paint this time.”
“I’m trying to think like that, but where is human greed like that? Seeing them fly away after gaining the sword spirit makes my stomach churn…”
In fact, Simtong was one of the most popular people until he entered the mystical realm.
However, after suffering from a loss in the unexplored world, he was now far from people’s expectations.
For the true men, the sword spirit is the criterion for determining success or failure.
Simtong, who did not obtain the sword spirit, was just one of the ordinary true men.
I didn’t say much because I could fully understand his passion and defeat.
“But what are you doing?”
“Why do you hate me? Are you dissatisfied?”
“It can’t be. I’m wondering what happened to you in the fight between the Tianlai sect and the Tiantai sect.”
“I came to ask you something.”
“Ask me. I will tell you everything to the best of my knowledge.”
“Three days ago, I met So-Yong Jong, and he said strange things. Didn’t the Tian Lei sect ask for a temporary alliance? That’s why I came to check the atmosphere of the Thunder Bell. What do you think of the soyojong in the Chun Lai sect? Are you really in the mood to form an alliance with the Soyojong, whether it’s temporary or whatever?”
“What would a true man like me know? There is a story I heard from the master.”
“What?”
“A great master appeared in Soyojong, but let’s start by figuring out the facts.”
“So what about allies?”
“To start with finding out the facts is to say that I don’t want to fight with the Soyojong. Maybe that’s why no one is complaining about the Soyojong.”
It is said that the proposal of the alliance is true.
It was difficult to understand the decision of the Venerable Taeeul.
Why do you dare to go after the Chun Lei sect who offered an alliance?
