The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

Episode 354

The entire Twelve Twelve started to shake.

The defeat of Sadongcheonju Neungseohyun and Dongcheonju four.

Even so, Cheonsan remained silent.

The fact that they should have already moved, but only wait and see, is only possible with the religious leader’s connivance.

In other words, it was enough to support that the religious leader accepted the challenge of a rare warrior named Mujin to the throne.

A change in flow led directly to action.

Along with the unprecedented event of unification of the Twelve East Heavens, Mujin, a middle-ranking man, began to be recognized as an official competitor of Northern Lidocheon, who was called the strongest in the history of the Demonic Cult.

Since this was not a matter of loyalty, but a matter of survival, it caused Dongcheonju to seriously worry and start weighing.

The undeniable loser Bukri Docheon and the rising powerhouse Mujin.

Whose side should I be on?

What is left to the victors is boundless shouts, but no one dared to draw conclusions because they knew that the losers would not even have their names engraved on their tombstones other than the traitor’s stigma.

In the meantime, some have already secretly dispatched a negotiating team to Sadongcheon to obtain favorable conditions, while others have been watching the situation and paying keen attention to the movements of Cheonsan.

And in the northern Idongcheon, a completely different movement began to emerge.

A man’s attack.

A monster named Han Seung.

His move, which was neither fast nor slow, literally turned Lee Dong-cheon into a mess.

Along with Neungseo-hyeon Danwu-gang, Dongdongcheonju Baek Cheon-lip, known as the strongest among the owners of the Twelve Dongcheons, could not stand it any longer and pulled out his sword.

Thousands of soldiers under Lee Dong-chun brutally attacked the attacking enemies.

and they appeared

Reapers who covered their faces with black clothes and long cloths with no patterns engraved on them.

The black swords, as black as their clothes, were ruthless, and the warrior who led them, the black sword Samado, was harsh enough to be strong.

Everywhere he went, blood formed the road, and corpses were scattered everywhere, feeding the wild beasts.

Baek Cheon-lip, who decided to retreat after swallowing Bunru while watching his subordinates collapse in disarray, encountered Han Seung, a cruel beast waiting for prey at the corner of the road.

And torn to shreds.

The result that no one could have predicted threw chaos into the maelstrom of war that struck again in the Demonic Cult.

Two men approaching the seat of power.

One side was promised praise and loyalty wherever it went, and merged forces without hesitation.

Rather, the latter was more like a demonic cult, but those who had already experienced change cheered for the former in their hearts.

And Bukri Docheon and Cheonsan, who were fully aware of all this situation, just looked down as if they were watching the fight between the two.

* * *

Broken walls, ruins of collapsed palaces, blood scattered everywhere and flesh left by unrecovered bodies.

The horrors of the battlefield scattered all over the place made the observers feel fear.

A group of unmanned men, who must have come from outside, hacked the inside of Lee Dong-cheon, which had lost its vitality, with ferocious sharpness, and the residents locked the door tightly and held their breath, hoping that the current situation would pass quickly.

Fire.

The bronze brazier was burning with acrid smoke, brightly illuminating the front yard of Lee Dong-cheon’s main building.

The strange thing was the firewood put in to make a fire in the brazier.

It is filled with something and burns, but its identity is ambiguous.

It slowly shriveled black in the flames, resembling a four-legged beast.

“next!”

At someone’s cry, a soldier dragged something that had dried up like an old tree.

swish

What is thrown into the furnace with all its might is a corpse that has lost its vitality and has dried up and hardened.

The brazier lit up the surroundings using the bodies of the brutally dead as fuel.

In that gruesome scene, numerous warriors of Lee Dongcheon were tied to ropes and knelt down, trembling in fear.

Where they were looking, a man was sitting with his body buried in a soft chair.

And one of the captives is caught and dragged out by the grip of the black-robed god of death.

“Buy and save me.”

It is too pathetic to be called a Demonic Cultist who has lived on the border between death and life.

He struggled not to be dragged away, but his inner strength was suppressed, so he did not have the ability to withstand the power of the god of death.

And he knelt down in front of the man who was sitting on the chair.

“Oh, no! Please…”

But it’s just a meaningless struggle.

Quadduk!

The moment the straight man’s hand grabbed his head, the warrior’s body twisted into a grotesque shape with a horrifying noise.

Unable to even scream as his chin was held in his hand, the unmanned man’s eyes lost their vitality and turned grayish white, and his body began to dry up and become brittle like an old man on the brink of death.

“Sueup…”

He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, like a gourmet enjoying a well-prepared meal, and suddenly frowned.

“It’s full of useless things.”

The maddening black eyes of the man, full of displeasure, were too dull and dark to be called human.

He, who made even the demon cultists fearful, was like a devil who had come out of the world to play.

Hanseung, a man who gradually began to fall into demonic nature while absorbing the vitality of the living.

As time passed, he was gradually going mad.

Hunger intervals were becoming faster, and as a result, slaughter was carried out at a faster rate than eating.

He didn’t cover anything anymore.

They preyed on children, adults, and unmanned people alike.

To him, humans were not creatures of his kind, but merely prey to feed himself.

The appearance of Lee Dong-cheon now was also not irrelevant to him.

The warriors of the palace are sacrificing their enemies in order to survive.

“It’s a big deal. The name of the Grand Palace can no longer be restricted.”

Two elderly people looking at Hanseung from a little far away.

Noh Guk-tae, Lee Gung-joo, and Sang-pyeong Sang-pyeong, the Naegung-ju.

However, unlike Noh Guk-tae, who looked at Hanseung with mixed eyes, Sang-pyeong’s expression was calm enough to feel cold.

“Now what? Since you opened the door to negotiations with the cult leader, shouldn’t we conquer Dongchun?”

“I guess so.”

“Well, if this job goes well, it might cause a great battle between the demons and make the palace’s long-cherished wish come true….

Noh Guk-tae complained in a frustrated tone.

“It is unavoidable. It’s all his choice.”

“…”

“It worked better.”

Noh Guk-tae turned his head and looked at Sang-pyeong’s cold words.

What did you mean?

“When he reaches full demonic nature one day, he will be nothing more than a beast.”

Noh Guk-tae’s face distorted as he read something from Sang-pyeong’s heartless expression.

“Can you stand and sleep?”

“If it’s an animal that can’t be caged, let it go.”

“Are you going to put him to death!”

“I didn’t say that. Life or death will depend on his abilities. It’s just…”

“….”

“If his death becomes the foundation for our long-cherished wish to come true, then I’m willing to push him out.”

Noh Guk-tae’s eyes gazing at Gwangjangpyeong shook violently like a boat in a storm.

“Look, this is a dangerous idea. He is the only blood relative of the lord of the great palace and the lord of the small palace, whose succession is just around the corner.”

“…the only blood relative. Wrong. In addition to the lord of the small palace, the children of the lord of the great palace are still alive. Palm-kun, most of them died because of that damn bastard’s conspiracy, but… one person remains. Even though he was imprisoned, he has qualities worthy of the position of the lord of the palace.”

“…”

Noh Guk-tae, realizing what he was saying, widened his eyes.

“Pyeong! Did you mean to do this from the beginning?”

“…”

Sang-sang-pyeong did not answer.

It wasn’t from the beginning.

It was from the time I saw the true face of Han Seung, who absorbed the vitality with Suction Magic after being demoted due to Palm Army’s scheme.

Palm-kun, who made only children around the age of 10 and children with seven eumeun veins to attract him so that he would not fall into demonic nature.

But that’s just the wind.

Having already learned the taste, he could not bear the slightest hunger.

He lost his value as a lord.

Or perhaps, he was not qualified as the successor because he was chosen as the successor with the help of Palm Army, not by his own strength in the first place.

The change in the correlation evaluation was from then on.

When the lord of the great palace no longer listened to his repeated words, he abandoned the lord of the great palace in his heart.

That’s why, with the inner palace in hand, he reached out to Hanseung.

Turning him into a beast and using him for his own ends, and using his death to let a new master rule the midfield.

That was the new cause he had chosen.

“It is a very risky idea. stop right now I know that you were somehow involved in the death of King Palm by using Moo-young. But it’s not the sogungju. If you do something wrong, you will face the wrath of the Grand Palace Master.”

“I was just facilitating the situation. And the reason Palme-kun died was because of her lack of skill, not because of me.”

“….”

“And Hanseung… is on the road to self-destruction. It’s like a yoke.”

“….”

Tam (貪) An ancient legend.

Known as the ninth son of the dragon, it was a beast that, mad with greed, ate everything in the world and eventually ate his own body, destroying himself.

“National state. We’ve been fighting for a long time together to fulfill our longing. Even when I enshrined the Grand Palace, I knew everything would go as I wished. I thought I would establish the Han dynasty again in this land.”

I feel sorry for Sang Sang-pyeong’s voice.

their cause.

To take revenge on behalf of their king who died due to the betrayal of the Ju clan in the past, and to stop the Ju clan’s seed and establish a new royal family.

But they were always chased.

The descendants of the Zhou clan have been relentlessly pursuing under the name of conquest, and many people have died in the process.

“But what happened? The Three Palaces and the Imperial Palace collapsed, and even her comrade, Lady Yeo, died. The current palace is getting worse and worse. We must move before it is too late.”

“But…”

“The Grand Palace Master is already a lump of stubbornness, and there’s nothing next. This is your last chance.”

“Pyeong!”

“The target of our loyalty is neither the lord of the great bow nor the lord of the small bow. Let’s think of that one thing we dreamed of in the first place. We should put an end to everything in our generation and hand it over to someone who can lead our people, not a greedy beast.”

Noh Guk-tae felt uneasy at the sight of Sang-pyeong Sang-pyeong laughing and patting him on the shoulder and walking toward Han-seung.

It’s so precarious.

Pyung Why are you….

Leaving behind Noh Guk-tae’s worried gaze, Sang-pyeong Sang-pyeong smiled pretentiously as he approached Han-seung.

“Lord of the Little Palace.”

“Something?”

“Aren’t these enough to satisfy your hunger?”

“…?”

“Now that you have the Idongcheon in your hands, let’s start heading south.”

“Southern?”

“yes. It is difficult to save a child anymore in Idongcheon. But there are still many children in the south. Perhaps we can save the child of the Chil Yin Silver Mac?”

Han Seung’s eyes twinkle at Sang Pyeong’s words.

Greed stemming from a dark demonic nature.

“He leads the Demonic Cult and conquers the central plains to become the owner. It is to stand shoulder to shoulder with the lord of the palace.”

Shang Ping continued to urge Han Seung’s heart.

Let his greed, which is already full, grow beyond control.

“That’s right. You don’t have to stay in one place for too long.”

“You are right.”

“Sang Gwan-pyeong, your words are always sweet.”

“Nothing… It’s just my loyalty to the Sogung Lord.”

“Okay. Prepare to go.”

“I take orders.”

Shang Ping’s eyes shone fiercely as he respectfully bowed his head.

Everyone calls it the incarnation of the dragon that merged Sadongcheon and became the conqueror of the south.

We will meet soon.

A fight between dragon and greed.

In the end, the palace will take steps towards the cause by using the two as a stepping stone.
