Chapter 129

Shen Yue didn’t answer right away, and he turned away.
“It’s clear that you made the offer because you cared about his outstanding qualities.”
Bu Eunsul stared at Shen Yue wordlessly.
His eyes were as sharp as the tip of a sharp sword, with a gleam in them that could pierce the lungs.
But Shen Yue’s eyes were filled with emotion, like looking at a lover.
“I see, now I get it.”
There was something about Shen Yue that Bu Eun-sul didn’t understand.
How is it that he, a mere disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddhas, had a prayer that rivaled his own?
“What do you mean?”
“Who you are.”
A smile similar to Shen Yue’s hung from the corners of Bu Eun-sul’s mouth.
“A disciple of the Manchu Party, or perhaps a member of the Dark Heavenly Battalion, perhaps even a disciple of the…… Elder Warrior School.”
Instantly, Shen Yue’s smile faded.
But it was only for a moment, and before he knew it, he was grinning even wider.
“I don’t know.”
Folding his eyes like a half-moon, Shen Yue said naturally.
“No matter what I do, no matter where I am, I’m still a faithful disciple of Vaughan.”
Meanwhile, Bu Eun-sul and Shen Yue arrived in front of a small hall.
Through the open gates, I could see a beautiful flower garden and a small pond.
Shen Yue looked toward the tall pinnacles rising to the south.
“Not only is the scenery beautiful here, but it’s also not too far from the Holy Demon Pavilion, where the Demon Emperor resides.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
“We have assistants on the inside, so feel free to ask them to do whatever you need, and…….”
Shen Yue said in a calm but somewhat cold voice.
“This will be the last favor that the old man will do for you.”
In short, it was powered by the red roof, the original pole.
Realizing what Shen Yue meant, Bu Eunsul nodded with a bitter smile.
“Tell the old man thank you. I’ll rest well.”
“I see.”
Shen Yue clasped her hands together and quietly walked away.
As she watched him walk away, she suddenly realized two things.
He’s a manipulative figure who keeps everyone around him under his thumb like a pawn.
And that he will get what he wants by any means necessary.

The next day, Mazen delivered a somewhat ridiculous schedule.
The message was that a banquet would be held for the ten warriors who had visited the temple.
The banquet was meant to be a social gathering of the Ten Warriors.
Moreover, since the people from the warlord’s side didn’t attend the banquet, there was no need to force them to go. Unsurprisingly, Bu Eunseol did not attend.
Same ten warriors, but they fought each other to the death in the Infernal City.
Other than Seo Jin-ha, who fought back, he didn’t have too many good feelings.
Just like the Yuyun dragon we saw the other day.
“Is this another test?
A sinking feeling of discomfort bubbles up from the depths of your chest.
If you’re just dealing with the Grandmaster, there’s no reason to summon the Ten Warriors to a joust. You’ll just need to deliver the names to the factions.
And yet you invite them to your palace, give them shelter, and serve them a banquet?
If so, then it’s all presided over by someone, and it’s a well-orchestrated plan.
“I guess I’d rather be a part of Mazen.
Buunseol shook her head as she remembered Seo Jinha.
He was one of the first to enter the Thousand Year Olds, and perhaps one of the first to throw off the shackles of the Ten Horsemen.
“Probably not here.
Given Seo’s personality, if he was there before, he wouldn’t be looking for him.
“The Lord of the Rising Sun is on his way.
Nangyagak’s heavenly lord, who was recruited by Mazen to become its current lord.
He is a man of great skill and wisdom, having helped Bu Eunseol in the White Knight’s test.
If they had, they would have offered a lot of advice and help in this situation.
‘Maybe the Mazen were expecting something like this…….’
In the meantime, the sun has set and night has fallen.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by a low, sibilant voice.
“Mu Mu of the Red Star Party asks for Confucius.”
“Come in.”
At Bu Eunseol’s words, the door opened and a martial artist with a crimson sword bowed.
“I’m Zhang Yu, a disciple of the Red Star Party.”
“What’s going on.”
“The order has been given to summon the ten warriors to the Dao Ming Hall.”
“Is this the beginning.
Bu Eun-sul stood up and nodded.
Finally, the one who presides over all of this summoned the Ten Warriors.
* * *
Following the man outside, Bu Eunseol headed to the western outskirts of the city rather than the center, where the main buildings were located.
There stood a seven-story hut with a blackened exterior.
The pavilion, with its majestic size and towering height, resembled a giant sword with a double-edged saw blade.
“Why are you in such a hurry?”
Bu Eun-sul asked as she watched Zhang Yu lead the way at a brisk pace.
“Am I the last one in?”
“That’s right. I was informed belatedly that you’ve been assigned a separate location for the Deputy Commissar…….”
“I see.”
Bu Eun-sul was furious.
The fact that they had been assigned to a special location due to Red Bing’s generosity did not seem to have been conveyed to the common samurai.
“You can go in this way.”
Once inside the hall, Zhang Yu opened the inner door. Bu Eunsul nodded and stepped inside.
As you walk through the door, you see a huge battlefield.
Inside the great hall, crystal-clear pillars stood tall, and the walls and ceiling were studded with brightly lit lanterns.
And at the foot of the altar stood seven warriors. These were the Ten Warriors.
“Seven people?
Puzzlement shone in her eyes.
Mazen had planned twelve warriors. Two of them were chosen to be his direct subordinates.
However, only fourteen survive, thanks to the intervention of Hyuk Ryun Neng to save Bu Eun Seol.
The two martial artists who became the direct subordinates of the Secret Shadow Pavilion. And if we exclude Seo Jin-ha, who became a member of the Thousand Killing Squad…….
Eleven people should have come, including Buunseol.
‘You said you didn’t pick the Ten Horsemen at the Hua Yu checkpoint.
Even taking that into account, there should have been ten people.
“It’s either one or the other.
His pupils sharpened, as if he were scattering blades.
‘Either you have been embraced by the Council of Elders, or you have been accepted as a true disciple, as has each of these.
It doesn’t matter what the situation is.
I’m sure they’d like to see the Great Beast wiped out anyway.
“Swollen Tongue.”
At that moment, a young man with a white whip at his waist approached Bu Eun-sul, the corners of his mouth twitching upward. It was Yu Yunlong.
“You refused to go through the Hua Wu checkpoint and entered Nangya Gak…… and were abandoned like a dog there.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It is said that all those who have not arrived here have the favor of the Ten Doors. Or that some have entered unrecognized, directly from the Demon King.”
Nangyagak’s offer to designate Buunseol as his successor.
He rejected all of the offers from the Elder Lord Red Bung to become a martial artist under the Mazen, choosing to come here on his own.
However, Yu Yunlong was unaware of this, and was sneering at Bu Eunseol.
“You’ve been smug all through hell, and now you’re just waiting for the right time to be boiled like a hound dog.”
When he didn’t even reply, Yu Yunlong grew even more impatient.
“So what if the Führer sent you to the backwoods to save your life? After all, you’re a…….”
“That’s loud.”
Suddenly, a man with a short spear on his back appeared between Buunsul and Yuunlong.
His complexion was pale, his body was thin, and his eyes had a bluish glow to them.
It was the Ying Ho, the ten horsemen of the command text.
“Yuyun Dragon. Are you saying this because you are pessimistic about your situation?”
“What?”
“It is not only those who have been forced to come here, like you.”
Yu Yunlong’s eyes flashed with sparks as Yi Hao coldly replied.
“What?”
He did as he was told and grabbed the white cloth at his waist.
“English, you’re…….”
“But I don’t know if this makes any sense.”
A man in a light green robe with strange patterns emblazoned across his body stepped between Yu Yunlong and Yi Hao.
It was the ten horsemen of the extreme fierceness, the Seokwoo Line.
“It’s a process. We’re ten warriors, after all, and you’re sneaking them into our halls like thieves, and then leaving us in this hall without explanation…….”
Even the Yuyun Dragon, who had been rampaging with excitement, stopped.
This was the common thought of the ten warriors gathered here.
If not a golden welcome, at least a treatment befitting a man of the Madomites.
You’re treating them like vendors who go out to sell their wares, except that you’ve given them a banquet every month or so.
Kurrrrrr.
Just then, the door opened with the sound of a stone rolling off the wall near the altar.
And a man in black slowly emerged from it.
“……!”
For a moment, there was a stifling silence in the room.
The keening prayer that rose from the black man’s body swept across the battlefield.
“Strong.
Bu Eun-sul’s eyes widened slightly as she looked at the man in black who had suddenly appeared.
Not only is the prayer that rises from his whole body powerful, but he is pouring out sharp flesh like thorns from his whole body.
It was clear that he was a cold-blooded butcher who would not hesitate to end hundreds or thousands of lives.
Eek.
The black man spoke in a low voice, standing on an altar set up above the battlefield.
“It’s a stirrup.”
The cooler air condensed the daejeon in an instant.
One of the three great battalions of demonic warriors, the Killing Squadrons, has suddenly become the leader of the world’s most feared killing machine.
“It’s not a marriage proposal.
Unlike the others, who were horrified, Bu Eun-sul inwardly shook her head.
He realized that it wasn’t the Great Marriage Master who had summoned the ten warriors to the demon hall and executed the entire plan.
“There must be someone else.
“I’ll keep it short.”
Then, Deng Lun swept his gaze over the ten horsemen of the Great War and said, “I’m not going to let you down.
“From this day forward, you are to go out into the strongholds and, by any means necessary, destroy the Cause.”
It was a short command.
There was silence for a moment, and then Deng Lun spoke again.
“Feel free to ask questions.”
Then Yu Yunlong, who had been looking disgruntled the whole time, spoke up and asked.
“I’d like to ask why they had to bring all ten warlords here, when they could have just handed it to the factions and been done with it.”
It’s more of a statement than a question.
In hell, he wouldn’t have dared to say this even if his liver was swollen.
But for now, they are all ten martial artists who have mastered the discipline of the Ten Doors.
Even if you’re the most fearsome master of your craft, you have a place and a right to say what you want to say.
“I called you to this battle for two reasons. The first is that I wanted to assign you to a cause based on your rank.”
Ding Lun stopped talking as he looked at Yu Yunlong, a strange smile on his face.
“Except for one, they were all on a high, so the plan was canceled.”
At those words, all of the Ten Demon Warriors except Bu Eunseol’s eyes lit up.
-Someone’s been watching us again, like on a map of hell.
But there was one who dazzled in a different way. It was Yu Yunlong.
When Deng Ling said ‘except for one’, his gaze was locked on Yu Yunlong.
-You are the weakest.
The stirrups were saying
Feeling humiliated, Yu Yunlong bit his lip.
But his opponent was the Demon King of the Heavens and Earth. No one dared to strike out against him.
“I know you guys are frustrated. Give it time and you can build a little more martial arts.”
Ding Lun said.
“But that’s true of the great masters as well. They have long since become co-warriors of the Martial Alliance and honed their martial arts.”
He glanced down once more, then spoke.
“The gaps are not going to close quickly. In fact, over time, they may even get stronger.”
Deng Lun was right to a certain extent. Humans don’t improve with time.
It’s just that we haven’t given it the time to develop.
“Can I ask you a question?”
This time, Seokwoo stepped forward.
“I’ve heard that not only the Great Master, but also the members of your Immortal Soul Squadron have been criticized by the heavens, so why was it necessary to train us to kill the Great Master?”
“That’s the second reason I called you.”
“What’s that…….”
“Listen up, the ten warriors who have slain the most Cause Lords are…….”
As he swept his gaze over everyone in the arena, Deng Lun spoke a shocking word.
“……would be a good candidate to succeed the Great Emperor!”
