Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 451

Chung In-woo had met his master several times, and in that place, the top talents of Eun were receiving martial arts training from him.

However, no one knew exactly where that place was.

-It was like a cave.

To be precise.

-It could be called a secret cave.

Chung In-woo had described the scenery of the place he had entered to Lee Ro-woon.

But the most important thing was.

-I….

Chung In-woo.

-I am certain that place is Shaolin.

He had found traces of Shaolin.

A deep underground.

Chung In-woo, who was training the fusion of the Plum Blossom Sword Technique and the Blood Demon Art alone, had a moment of enlightenment and completed a perfect swordsmanship that had never existed before.

At that time, a mark was left on the wall of the secret cave that seemed unbreakable, and what Chung In-woo saw was.

-Buddhist scriptures.

It was a scripture.

Shaolin’s scriptures.

Beyond the slightly revealed wall, there were densely written scriptures.

-There is a stake in Shaolin.

Also.

-There is a gatekeeper.

That was.

“Muwang.”

Muwang, Shin Yeo-wool.

Shin Yeo-wool was in Shaolin.

“The legendary Shinma [a demonic being].”

Chung In-woo said.

The history of Shinma was not well-known in Eun, but some truth was known to those who had decided to embrace the demonic path.

The sole king who once ruled all of Eun.

The origin of all martial arts, and the most powerful absolute being in the history of Eun.

“In the end, he was also called a demon, and everyone was wary of him.”

Chung In-woo reminisced about his meeting with his master.

“But.”

Chung In-woo’s eyes changed.

Without playfulness or a sinister feeling, they were the clear eyes of a martial artist.

“He was a martial artist that one could not help but respect.”

Respect.

“Shaolin’s Blood Monk, the Beggars’ Sect’s Mugae….”

The listed individuals were the promising talents of Eun.

However, they were also targets of avoidance due to their eccentricity and arrogance.

Such people gathered in one place.

Also, they were told to receive martial arts training without serving the one revered as a demon as their master.

“From the start, wouldn’t numerous problems be expected?”

They had gathered martial artists who were full of vigor, no, burning with a fighting spirit.

Also, they were people who thought of themselves as the best in Eun and did not acknowledge anyone.

They gather and receive someone’s teachings.

Even if it was an order from their leader, it would be strange if problems did not arise.

Chuckling.

Chung In-woo laughed.

“You don’t ask what happened.”

Words directed at Lee Ro-woon.

“You must already know the result.”

Leaning against the window, Chung In-woo said.

“No one, no one caused any problems.”

Not a single one.

“They just faced him. That was all.”

Chung In-woo closed his eyes.

As if the moment was still vivid, goosebumps rose on Chung In-woo’s exposed skin.

“The essence of martial arts itself.”

Chung In-woo opened his eyes again.

“He was Muwang.”

A person who made even the unyielding and the eccentric kneel just by facing him.

A person who was sacred just by his existence and made one think that was martial arts.

Shinma.

And he was Lee Ro-woon’s master.

He was in Shaolin.

“But, haven’t you been looking for Muwang so desperately?”

Chung In-woo asked.

Rather, if Muwang was in Shaolin, there should be nothing to hold him back.

Lee Ro-woon had always claimed to be Muwang’s master, and Muwang had not denied that fact.

Master and disciple.

In this Eun, although not everyone, perhaps the relationship closer than blood ties was that of master and disciple.

“What….”

Only now did Chung In-woo get to the point.

“What are you hesitating about?”

Chung In-woo had noticed that this was Lee Ro-woon’s concern.

“…….”

Lee Ro-woon was still silent, not answering.

“Why should I tell you that?”

Chung In-woo chuckled at Lee Ro-woon’s words, who finally opened his mouth.

“Well, I guess so.”

Although they were now working together, until recently, they were trying to kill each other.

Moreover, Chung In-woo was already a traitor who had betrayed Hwasan once.

“But….”

Lee Ro-woon said.

“Perhaps I can tell you because it’s you.”

He paused.

“When I last met my master, he said.”

Chung In-woo looked at Lee Ro-woon with a heavy face.

“If we meet again….”

The day they declared they would find their masters.

The words their masters had said to them.

-We will have to kill each other.

“We will have to kill each other.”

“……!”

Also, Lee Ro-woon said.

“So….”

Lee Ro-woon slowly approached Chung In-woo.

Lee Ro-woon, who was slightly taller, seemed to be looking down at Chung In-woo.

“What do you think?”

His eyes flickered red.

Chung In-woo realized that he had been overwhelmed by Lee Ro-woon without realizing it.

But realizing it didn’t change anything.

His body wouldn’t move.

“Wh-what….”

He barely managed to utter a word.

The answer to that came.

“Who do you think will win?”

It was a genuine question without a hint of jest.

* * *

“Even the Black Moon doesn’t know the exact location of Shaolin?”

“The area of Henan Province where Mount Song is located is difficult for even the Black Moon to access properly. Shaolin is even more closed off and has the ability to do so.”

The Black Moon was not free to enter Shaolin’s territory.

“However, their defenses and preparations are by no means negligible.”

No.

“It would be best to consider them the highest.”

Considering all of Eun, Shaolin’s defenses would be the most thorough.

“You mean you don’t even know the internal situation.”

“That’s right.”

Still, the good thing was.

“Shaolin is not defending to prevent external intrusion.”

Lee Shin-woo, with his blue eyes shining.

It was his existence.

Lee Shin-woo, who had become the new owner of the Gaeshin Library, was connected to the Gaeshin Library and was reading its information.

“They have set up such a barrier to prevent what is inside from escaping.”

Of course, it could not be said to be perfect.

The Gaeshin Library had suffered a great shock in the fight with Lee Ro-woon, and as a result, it was destroyed and damaged.

Also, as Lee Shin-woo’s awakening and power were released, much of the Gaeshin Library’s information was lost.

“What did they imprison?”

A question.

And.

“Sealed Demon.”

It was the answer.

“I know they have imprisoned a demon.”

“So that demon….”

“To be precise, I don’t know either. But numerous demons are lingering there, and Shaolin has set up such a barrier to seal those demons.”

Lee Shin-woo said.

“The reason why Shaolin does not engage in external activities, and the reason why Shaolin receives the position and treatment of a council leader even though they do not contribute to Eun, is because of that….”

Sealed Demon.

They had sealed a demon.

“Blood Demon Lord.”

“Jincheon.”

Now the arrow was turned to Lee Ro-woon.

Whatever it was, the one with the decision-making power was Lee Ro-woon.

“What do you think?”

Lee Ro-woon slowly rested his chin on his hand at the question directed at him.

‘Sealed Demon.’

What it could be, and what else could be there.

And why Shaolin had imprisoned it.

What the stake was, and who the gatekeeper was.

“…….”

Slowly lowering his eyelids.

It was then.

Swoosh.

Lee Ro-woon’s eyes, which had been getting smaller, slowly began to widen.

“……?”

The executives who were in the meeting were puzzled by his sudden appearance, but only for a moment.

Beep, beep.

Someone’s cell phone rang.

“I’m sorry.”

It was a mistake caused by being distracted during the meeting that had been going on for days.

Just as he was about to quickly check his phone and turn it off.

Drrrrrrr.

The smartphone vibration sound was heard from all directions.

“……?”

Not one, not two.

Drdrdrdr!

The executives’ smartphones were vibrating violently.

“Please wait, I’ll check it.”

Those who noticed the strangeness asked for understanding and checked their smartphones.

Tat tat tat!

A commotion was heard from outside.

Bang!

The door opened roughly.

“What’s going on!”

A commotion in this place where the meeting was in full swing, and even Lee Ro-woon was present.

At that, some executives expressed their discomfort and tried to scold them.

But the one who had rushed in was someone special.

A martial uniform redder than blood, a blood character drawn on the chest. The area around it was painted in gold.

“Blood Sword Captain!”

Blood Sword Captain, Jung Chi-soo.

If it was him, it was understandable that he would cause such a commotion.

He was more concerned about Lee Ro-woon’s safety than anyone else, and the fact that he had caused such a commotion meant that it was a very important matter.

“I report to the Blood Demon Lord!”

Jung Chi-soo quickly knelt on one knee and shouted while taking a bow.

And at that time.

Swoosh.

Ha Se-min was also taking out his smartphone and checking it.

At the same time, his gaze was directed towards Lee Ro-woon.

It seemed that Lee Ro-woon already knew.

“It’s Shaolin.”

“It’s Shaolin!”

The voice echoed.

“Shaolin has left Mount Song….”

What was echoing now was a warning.

“They say they have arrived at Hwasan!”

* * *

Shaolin had been extremely restrained in its external activities until now.

They had never sent their internal personnel outside unless it was for a war with Einheart or a major event for the peace of Eun.

Lee Ro-woon had also seen Shaolin a few times.

Near Wudang.

Also.

-Blood Monk.

The Blood Monk he had encountered in Einheart.

But that was all.

Lee Ro-woon also knew very little about Shaolin.

That Shaolin.

“Shaolin has moved.”

Finally, they had moved.

Breaking their seclusion, they had left Mount Song, and.

“Their forces are said to number one thousand.”

One thousand martial artists.

Even if they were just mediocre people, it was a force that could not be ignored.

But if those one thousand were not just mediocre third-rate or second-rate martial artists, but Shaolin’s martial artists.

Goooh!

It was enough to reverse the air and flow.

A force capable of confronting a nation.

No, perhaps a force capable of confronting something even greater.

Gooooooo!

The flow of air actually changed.

“How….”

Ha Se-min said as if he couldn’t believe it.

The Black Moon was monitoring all the borders of South Korea.

As it was the place where the headquarters of Eunha was located, they were thoroughly prepared and listened to all the news.

No, in the first place, they were monitoring all of the Nine Great Sects.

Even if they didn’t know the inside of Shaolin, if Shaolin had left the gate….

“…….”

Ha Se-min would have received the report and tracked them.

But.

Drrrrk.

The smartphone was still ringing.

Numerous reports were being delivered every moment.

Shaolin had moved.

And Shaolin.

Squeak!

They had arrived at Hwasan.

The car that had been speeding quickly came to a stop.

What was visible through the front window were numerous cars that had stopped.

“……!”

And in the distance, smoke was rising.

Not anywhere else….

‘Hwasan.’

From the huge tower of Hwasan, which had now become a landmark of South Korea.

“Jincheon.”

Ha Se-min called out to Lee Ro-woon.

The smartphone was lit up.

Numerous letters appeared and disappeared repeatedly.

And at that time.

Kwaaang!

A huge explosion was heard.

“Uh oh!”

The voices of people were heard from outside the slightly lowered window.

“Uh oh oh!”

An explosion occurred in the Hwasan tower.

“Shaolin….”

Ha Se-min said in a tone as if he couldn’t believe it.

“Shaolin.”

Lee Ro-woon slowly opened the car door.

A Blood Sword member and a knight rushed over and held the door for him.

“They have declared war on Hwasan.”

Lee Ro-woon came out and stood.

No, everyone came out and looked at the scene.

“And now Shaolin is attacking Hwasan.”

Kwaaang!

Another explosion echoed.
