While Cheon Mubaeck was traveling the martial world in Fujian and Zhejiang.

The Righteous Alliance had steadily completed its framework.

Just by the participation of Shaolin and Wudang, the Righteous Alliance was on the right track.

Especially, although it was contradictory, the establishment of the Black Assembly was decisive.

“The Blood Demon Valley guys are a problem, but the Unorthodox Alliance has united.”

“Dokgo Pae of the Great Dragon Gang is a fearsome man. Even the Green Forest and the Yangtze River have fallen into his hands.”

“Although the River King is the leader, perhaps the real leader who controls the Black Assembly is Dokgo Pae.”

“Not only dealing with the demons, but I’m also concerned about where the united Unorthodox Alliance will advance.”

“So the Righteous Alliance must unite more.”

The purpose of the establishment of the Righteous Alliance was just one.

An Orthodox Path sect that opposed the stirring Demonic Path.

That was the reason why the martial artists who had fought in the Righteous-Demonic War, or their descendants, had gathered first.

But with the establishment of the Black Assembly, another enemy had appeared in the martial world.

Especially, the Orthodox Path sects in the provinces where the Unorthodox Alliance’s power was great had a great sense of vigilance.

The Orthodox Path sects that had been in conflict with the Unorthodox Alliance welcomed the appearance of the Righteous Alliance.

“Shaolin and Wudang are participating?”

“The leader is that famous Fighting Ghost, Gwak Yong!”

“Even that sworn enemy, Mount Hua and Jongnam, have joined the alliance?”

“I heard that the Zhuge Clan has also participated?”

Of course, it was a scary thing to face the demons, but at least they needed a greater power to protect their sects and families from the immediate danger of the Unorthodox Alliance.

It was a natural flow for the number of sects and families who wanted to join the Righteous Alliance to increase.

Because of this, the scale of the Righteous Alliance grew and expanded faster than expected.

“First, I think we need to establish the organization.”

The one who had rolled up his sleeves and had stepped up was the head of the Zhuge Clan, Zhuge Yeogang.

He, who had become the general of the Righteous Alliance, reorganized the organization without hesitation.

“Won’t you be busy with the clan’s affairs? If the head leaves the clan…”

Although such concerns came from here and there, Zhuge Yeogang did not care.

“My father is protecting it, so if the demons attack, my father will laugh heartily and smash their heads.”

Zhuge Yeogang moved with enthusiasm.

Although he could not match Zhuge Seon, he was still a bloodline of the Zhuge Clan.

The Righteous Alliance was able to quickly finish its reorganization.

But it was not all smooth. Too many martial artists had gathered, and there was some noise. To be precise, very young martial artists.

“There are many young martial artists from small sects or humble families.”

“They are all friends with a good heart who pursue chivalry and righteousness.”

“The problem is that their spirit is strong, but they are still young.”

Just led by a hot spirit.

Because they had grown up listening to the stories of the heroes of the Righteous-Demonic War that they had heard since they were young.

Young martial artists who threw themselves into the cause of chivalry, righteousness, and justice.

The leaders of the Righteous Alliance who had gathered here were moved by the fact that there were many young people full of spirit, but another problem arose.

That there was a severe gap between them and the current leaders of the Righteous Alliance.

The generation that had directly or indirectly felt the Righteous-Demonic War was the current leadership of the Righteous Alliance.

They had felt and experienced a lot about the demons.

They could never forget the fear of that time when the martial world was invaded, centered on the Heavenly Demon.

So naturally, they had no choice but to be careful and cautious.

The problem was that this behavior seemed quite frustrating to the young martial artists.

“Perhaps it’s because they are friends who are full of vigor.”

“Their spirit is overflowing, but sometimes that becomes a poison. They have only heard stories about the heroes of the Righteous-Demonic War and have only harbored admiration. They have not felt or known the terrible tragedy of that time.”

Funnily enough, a clear generation gap was revealed within the Righteous Alliance.

But he could not suppress them with his rank and age. Their numbers had increased enormously. The proportion of young martial artists who personally entrusted themselves was greater than the sects and families who joined the alliance.

“These are the future of the martial world, and the young people who will become the future of the Orthodox Path.”

“We must lead the Righteous Alliance by comforting these young people well.”

“We need a person who can unite, comfort, and lead the young martial artists.”

The leaders looked at each other’s faces.

The people who had gathered in the Righteous Alliance were splendid.

The Arhat Hall Master of Shaolin, the Monk Muso, the Guardian Sword of Mount Hua, Cheonghyeonjin, and the Mount Hua First Sword, Gukbo.

From Jongnam, the Jongnam Wind Sword, Jeon Hyeon, who had once again taken the position of an elder.

From the Beggars’ Sect, the Shaanxi branch leader, Yukgeolgae, who had previously contacted Cheon Mubaeck at Mount Hua.

From the Wudang Sect, the great elder, Yucheong, who was the junior of the new sect leader, Venerable Jincheong.

From the Zhuge Clan, the head of the clan, Zhuge Yeogang, and the leader, the Fighting Ghost, Gwak Yong.

These were the current leaders of the Righteous Alliance.

Although they were all great people, they were not suitable to unite the young martial artists.

“How about the Fighting Ghost?”

“He is the son of the Fighting God, and his skills are also considered the best among the later generation.”

“The Fighting Ghost, Gwak Cheonhu, where is that friend now?”

“Hmm. I heard he’s at the Azure Star Escort Agency.”

“The Azure Star Escort Agency? Why there? Isn’t that the Heavenly Dragon Sword Hero’s escort agency?”

“He’s working as a guest escort.”

“…Why?”

“I don’t know. Well, I heard that he’s head over heels for the Heavenly Dragon Sword Hero’s sister, but, well, I doubt it. With the reputation of the Fighting Ghost, and the son of that Fighting God.”

“Keuheumheum!”

Gwak Yong cleared his throat and cut off the conversation.

“I’m grateful that my comrades think highly of my lacking son, but that guy is not enough.”

Gwak Yong firmly opposed.

If his son took the position of commanding the young warriors, it would be no different from taking control of the Righteous Alliance. Because the leader was Gwak Yong, and his son would be in charge of the young warriors. But Gwak Yong did not care.

“He’s a foolish guy who only knows how to fight. He’s not a vessel to unite and lead the young brats.”

It was the sharpest and most cold-headed evaluation that a father could make.

As Gwak Yong opposed, other people came out.

For example, Jongnam’s Jeon Hyeon and Mount Hua’s Gukbo, who were present here, were also mentioned.

“I am not a vessel to handle that role.”

Jeon Hyeon waved his hand, saying that it was a role he could not handle, and Gukbo was also a person who was a little disappointing.

“How about the great young master of the Nangong Clan?”

“He’s an excellent person.”

The one who came out next was the great young master of the Nangong Clan, who was considered the best among the later generation.

Especially, Cheonghyeonjin of Mount Hua, who had experience of cooperating with the Nangong Clan in Anhui Province to chase the Bidaras, expressed a positive opinion.

But.

“The problem is that the Nangong Clan has not officially joined the Righteous Alliance.”

“He is the hegemon of Anhui, and that great Sword Saint is the head of the Nangong Clan.”

“He must be confident. He will be confident that he can take control of Anhui and drive out the Blood Demon Valley.”

Zhuge Yeogang narrowed his brows.

The Ten Great Masters of the world.

The Sword Saint, who was considered the first among them.

Some even said that he was a master who could be compared to the Sword Saint, the disciple of the Azure Sky Sword God.

“Then the great young master of the Nangong Clan would also be difficult…”

“Well. We can’t just suppress those young friends who are full of vigor.”

“Rather, their opposition to us will only intensify and a conflict will arise.”

“Wait a minute. Isn’t there just one person?”

“…?”

At Cheonghyeonjin’s words, everyone’s attention was focused.

“Where do you think the spirit of those young martial artists, who have abandoned their sects and families and have come to fight the demons with just their bare hands, came from?”

“Well…”

“Ah!”

“The Heavenly Dragon Sword Hero!”

That was right.

The reason why so many young martial artists full of vigor had gathered.

“Because he is a symbol. A symbol that has appeared in the current martial world.”

At the Monk Muso’s heavy words, various emotions swirled among the crowd.

That’s right. To the young martial artists who had gathered here, the Heavenly Dragon Sword Hero was such a being.

Appearing like a comet alone, tracking and annihilating the demons that even all the giant sects could not touch.

Achieving chivalry and righteousness while traveling the martial world with just one sword.

It was no different from a myth created from the background of a small escort agency, not a giant sect or family.

“Then…”

Zhuge Yeogang said with a slightly displeased look.

“Let’s bring Young Master Cheon.”

“Young Master Cheon will be busy with his work…”

“This matter is also about countering the Blood Demon Valley. If it’s Young Master Cheon, he won’t refuse. In the first place, the reason why we have gathered here is all thanks to Young Master Cheon’s actions, isn’t it?”

As Zhuge Yeogang summarized, the crowd nodded their heads.

Because no matter how you looked at it, it was so.

Especially, Zhuge Yeogang was convinced. That only Cheon Mubaeck was possible now.

The Righteous Alliance had been obtaining information about the Blood Demon Valley through the Beggars’ Sect, but rather than the Blood Demon Valley, Cheon Mubaeck’s actions had come in more, and in more detail.

Even Zhuge Yeogang, who considered Cheon Mubaeck to be suspicious, had no choice but to admit.

As a symbol of the Righteous Alliance, and as a symbol of the Orthodox Path martial world.

“Then let’s contact them through the Beggars’ Sect.”

The matter was settled like that.

…or so Zhuge Yeogang thought, but he was mistaken.

“I’ll go.”

“…Why?”

At the boldness of Zhuge Seola, who had recently come to the Righteous Alliance, Zhuge Yeogang was at a loss for words.

“Because it’s important, right?”

“It is important, but… it’s just to deliver a message. There’s no problem even if we go through the Beggars’ Sect.”

“Do you think Young Master Cheon will accept if we just say it?”

“Young Master Cheon?”

Somehow, Zhuge Yeogang did not like that title. Because he felt a sense of intimacy from the title.

Zhuge Seola did not care and put her hands on her waist.

“He might refuse. Because his work is so important and he’s busy.”

“He might refuse? Then?”

“A person who can persuade him has to go.”

“…And that’s you?”

“Of course.”

It was not a wrong statement…

Zhuge Yeogang, unlike the others, was a person who had realized that there was a suspicious side to Cheon Mubaeck. He had received the impression that he was not just a person who followed justice, chivalry, and righteousness as people said, but a person who calculated his profits and losses thoroughly and moved.

Then, as Zhuge Seola had said, he might refuse, so there was a need to persuade him.

To persuade him, he had to be a person with that much weight, or at least a person with a deep acquaintance…

“Umm. No.”

“Why, dad!”

“Tsk. No.”

“Hmph. I’ve already gotten permission from the leader, you know?”

“What?”

Zhuge Yeogang’s eyes widened. Zhuge Seola shrugged her shoulders.

“I also got permission from my mother. The other adults also gave their permission. Then I’ll be going.”

“No…”

Zhuge Yeogang’s head became stiff.

* * *

“…So that’s why you came. Is that what you mean?”

Cheon Mubaeck looked at Zhuge Seola’s smiling face.

“Yes!”

Her tone was high, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

A green and red light mixed harmoniously beyond her face.

She was in a very excited state.

Cheon Mubaeck shrugged his shoulders and said.

“So you’re asking me to handle the young martial artists of the Righteous Alliance, is that it?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Well, that’s not a difficult task…”

Cheon Mubaeck also did not like the idea of young martial artists getting swept up in their spirit and dying.

“But I have something to do right now, so I’ll take care of that first and then go to Chongqing myself.”

“I heard. You’re going to Shandong?”

“How did you know?”

“The Sword Empress told me.”

“Well, I have a lot of things to do. Please tell the leader of the Righteous Alliance that I’ll go after I finish my work.”

“…”

Zhuge Seola did not answer. She seemed to have something to say, as she was mumbling something. Zhuge Seola fidgeted with her fingers and said carefully.

“Well… delivering that kind of thing is something that will be known through the Beggars’ Sect, so I don’t have to go back…”

“…?”

“So, well…”

A blushing face.

No, it was not that a red light was spreading beyond her face, but her face was actually blushing.

As Cheon Mubaeck stared at her, Zhuge Seola hesitated and could not continue her words.

Cheon Mubaeck, who had been staring for a long time, suddenly asked, as if a thought had struck him.

“Ah, Young Lady, are you perhaps also proficient in Confucianism?”

“Confucianism? Of course. The Zhuge Clan learns and masters all the studies of the Central Plains.”

Cheon Mubaeck nodded his head. At the sudden words, a question suddenly arose in Zhuge Seola’s mind, but at Cheon Mubaeck’s following words, the question flew far away.

“Then, would you like to go to Shandong with me? Young Lady?”

“…!”

Zhuge Seola’s face was captured in Cheon Mubaeck’s view.

‘…Is her face red, or is that emotion red?’

It was really red. Very.
