On the way back from the meeting·

Mujin asked Ambassador Hyunhyun, who had an uncomfortable look on his face.

"Monk of the Outer Temple· Do you have any concerns?"

"Hehehe... It's nothing..."

Ambassador Hyunhyun answered Mujin's question with a monkly smile, but there were still things to worry about.

Around the time that the Mujabae sign room was meeting with the late exponents of other sects. Ambassador Hyun Hyun held talks with the elders of the sect. And what came out of that meeting was enough to disturb his mind.

"He said that he was involved in most of the affairs with the Heavenly Stream. He said he had a deep heart for his age, so maybe it's not a bad idea to know."

Not to mention his brother-in-law and Mujin's Taesajo, Hyun-kwang, Ambassador Hyun-cheon, who was the head of the room, and Ambassador Hyun-hyun, who remembered that Chu Bo-dang-ju also thought highly of Mujin's heart, sent a telegram.

– Did you know that not only Shaolin and Huashan but also the Shaman Army were present at today's meeting?

As expected, even though it was a sudden message, Mujin didn't seem to be embarrassed at all. Far from being embarrassed, he casually sent a telephony.

– Yes· Monk of the Outer Temple· Later exponents of Ami and shamans were also there.

– Today, Elder Hwa Shun of the Huashan Falcon Sword said so. The volcano also wants to be with us. Add to that the Army, and the four gates together.

If you listened to it without knowing the backstory, it would have been a very strange story.

But Mujin knew the situation to some extent. In addition, he was mediocre in his studies, and he had a lot of social experience, so it was not difficult for him to grasp the situation.

– The volcano seems to think that we have joined hands with the shaman Heavenly Stream. I'm sorry· I think it happened because of me.

Ambassador Hyun Hyun had to hide his surprise at Mujin's apology, which understood the whole situation with only his own brief explanation. I couldn't have done anything conspicuous like that as I was walking down the main street and talking in full voice.

– No, it is not· The reason you opened the clinic with the Heavenly Stream was to help sentient beings. Moreover, the shaman's work was also to help the shaman. It's just that they've misinterpreted our intentions.

Despite Ambassador Hyun's words of consolation, Mujin was still in thought.

Of course, he didn't feel guilty for being misunderstood.

"It's a volcano, but why is ARMY there?"

Mujin was just trying to figure out Amifa's intentions. As if there was no room for concern about the volcano's intentions.

That's why the elders and elders of the current volcano in the novel The Apostle Emperor Mu Jin read. The narrators were, in a word, "opportunists."

Unaware of the fact that they were playing into the hands of the Black Curtain, they devoured the honey they handed them and led the destruction of the political faction.

So I had to think of the Volcanic Sect as an enemy and think of the Amifa.

'Amifa is neutral· If I had to say it, I was more of a half-dark faction."

No matter how much the tide was changed by himself, it was strange that Amifa suddenly became a dark faction.

Mujin is the Amifa and Volcanic Sect. And I thought carefully about what the Zhuge family, who would probably soon become entangled with the Black Curtain Force, had something in common.

And it wasn't long before I realized something in common.

"There's a rival faction just around the corner!"

The Zhuge family was sharing Hubei Province with the shamans, Shaanxi Province with the Zhongnan sect, and the Ami family was sharing Sichuan with the Qingcheng sect of the Sichuan Tang family.

Naturally, most of the gatekeepers would not like the situation. Just as there could not be two suns in the world, if there were two or more great gates in a city, they could not get along. Even with that power, we have no choice but to share resources and take them with us.

The dark side must have used such a psychology to approach them.

But there were still questions.

"Still, it was originally the Sichuan Tang family that became a black force in Sichuan, right?"

Originally, the three great powers of Sichuan were just fighting each other. Then, an incident triggers a full-fledged conflict structure.

From there, the black curtain forces extend a helping hand to the Sichuan Tang family, and naturally the Sichuan Tang family joins hands with the black curtain forces.

And as it is revealed later in the novel, the incident itself was an incident prepared by the forces of the Black Curtain in the first place.

Therefore, Mujin planned to head to Sichuan as soon as the Wulin Games were over. In order to prevent such an incident from happening.

Of course, I didn't leave with Shaolin's permission. Mujin had been planning a great escape, and he had sorted out the things that needed to be resolved after the escape.

"If you do this, you're going to get twisted from the start..."

Suddenly, my head started hurting.

I understood the "purpose" of joining Amifa because of the conflict in Sichuan, but the incident hadn't happened yet, and I was tired in many ways.

"No, this isn't the only problem..."

Mujin thought of something and asked Ambassador Hyun again.

– Monk of the Outer Temple· Did you accept the volcano's offer?

– You know that the volcano is distorting, so how can you accept it? However, when I tried to clear up the misunderstanding, he didn't seem to believe me, so I went back to Shaolin and talked to the head of the room, and he replied that he would contact me.

Mujin thought for a moment at Ambassador Hyunhyun's answer.

'Mmmm· It's a shame, but I'm also glad I did."

If he had teamed up with the Volcano Army, he might have had a connection with the Black Curtain Force, making it easier for him to investigate. But on the other hand, things could have been more complicated.

However, since he had already given an answer, he couldn't intervene, so he decided to just move on and focus on other things.

– What was the reaction of the other gatekeepers?

– The shaman knew it was a misunderstanding, so he didn't care, but Amifa seemed a little complicated. I heard that the elders of the Five Great Families showed up to the Zhuge family last night for a meeting.

It wasn't until I heard Ambassador Hyun's answer that I understood why ARMY had taken a more active role.

If the Five Great Families hold talks and form an alliance, the power of the Sichuan Tang Family will become stronger. It seemed that ARMY, too, wanted allies to counter him.

"The meeting of the five major families... Is this also an incident from the original novel?'

Up until this point, it was unknown to Mujin, but in the beginning, the Five Great Families would often hold talks.

However, the talks that led to talk of an "alliance" between the five generations were originally a thing of the distant future.

The future was hastened by the Zhuge family, who thought that the Shaolin shaman Tianliu had taken his hand.

What Mu Jin had done to capture the Heavenly Stream and the Shaman was transforming into the flapping of the wings of a tiny butterfly.

* * *

After returning to the inn, Mujin thought about it for a while, but he realized that his conclusion hadn't changed much.

"Yesterday's meeting with the Five Generations said that the Amifa was in a hurry, but nothing has happened in Sichuan yet. Whether it's porridge or rice, once the Wulin Tournament is over, I'll head straight to Sichuan."

Leaving a delusion alone without any additional information doesn't make any difference.

So Mujin went to bed with a relaxed mind for the next day's Dragon Seal Branch Qualifiers.

And Mu Jin woke up and headed for Wulin Meng with the rest of the trio of Muja boats.

The guiding person was a disciple of Shaolin who lived in the Wulin League.

Shaolin didn't get involved in outside affairs much, but in any case, he still had a small number of disciples in the Wulin League, the center of the alliance.

In fact, whenever they participated in the Wulin Conference, the dormitories used by the Shaolin disciples were also managed by those who were dispatched to the Wulin League.

Thanks to the guidance of the great disciple who resides in the Wulin League, the Mujiabai Sign Room was able to arrive at the entrance of the Wulin League with great ease.

Perhaps because of the high level of interest in the Dragon Seal Association, the entrance to the Wulin League was indeed crowded.

But I didn't have to wait in front of it.

"Huh? Can we go in first?"

"Hahaha· You've already completed your application by taking the examination on the first day, so going through the screening right away will help you get things done."

Mujin shook his head as if he understood the explanation of Hyemil, the great disciple who was guiding them. It seemed that the registration had been done in advance as there was a great disciple stationed in the Wulin League.

Passing through the crowd that had gathered at the entrance of the Wulin League, they arrived at the entrance of the Wulin League's theater hall.

Originally, it was a place for the training of warriors belonging to the Wulin League, but now it is used for the preliminary examination of the Dragon Seal Branch Association.

"Only those who are examined are allowed to enter the screening room, so I will try to get them out after the screening."

"Yes· Uncle Sam."

After greeting Hyemil, Mujabae entered the theater.

It seems that Shaolin was not the only one who had applied early, and there were already several young samurai waiting in line for the examination.

However, instead of checking their faces one by one, Mujin only checked the screening site in the distance of the crowd.

'Hmmm· I was curious because the novel didn't have a first qualifier, but it's pretty simple, isn't it?'

When I looked at the people who were taking the examination first, I saw that they were taking the test of lifting a large piece of metal.

Mu Gong and Mu Yul Mu Qing also followed Mu Jin and looked at it, and soon they shared their impressions.

"Sounds too easy, doesn't it?"

"I think it's the first round of screening. Eternal execution?"

"Heheh... It's going to be fun!"

Mujin let out a squeaky sound at the confident appearance of the trio.

"Hmm? Sounds pretty difficult to me, doesn't it?"

At that, the trio tilted their heads in puzzlement and asked.

"That?"

"Doesn't that seem a bit difficult to do without it? Well, I can do it, but you guys look a little close..."

“··· Aren't you sure you have to use your inner air to get through?"

"A· No way· If you're going to use internal attacks, who can't get through that? I would have passed that when I was fourteen."

“····”

Mu Gong and Mu Qing looked at Mu Jin with a stunned expression. Mu Yul was deceived by Mu Jin's words, "Is that so?"

Looking at their faces, Mu Jin smiled as if he had an interesting idea.

"Why? Do you think you can't make it through without it?"

Mu Jin snorted at Mu Jin's question.

"Sniff..."

Mu Yul was as sunny as ever.

"So we're all going to compete to see who has the highest score!? It's going to be fun!!"

Mu Kyung has been refuting logically in his own way.

"And what if I fail the first round of screening? I'm sure I'll be haunted by Sajo for a month."

Thinking of Hye-kwan, Mu-kyung shuddered. But that didn't stop him from backing down.

"Okay· Then, let's do it without the internal attack for the time being, and if you're worried that it might fall, let's use the internal attack on your own. Instead, the guy who used the ball gets penalized, and the guy who holds on for no reason and gets eliminated ... You've tarnished the recluse's name, and a great punishment awaits you, right?"

In the end, a strange bet was made at Mujin's insistence.

* * *

On the other hand·

Among the countless Hu Ji Qiu in the hall where the first round of the Dragon Seal Branch Preliminary Round was being held, there was one who looked at the Shaolin disciples with a particularly bright eye.

"Sister Zhuge · Where are you staring at me?"

Tang Xiao Mi asked Zhuge Jinxi, who spotted Mu Jin's appearance in the distance.

"It's nothing..."

"Mmmm... Over there... Oh boy! You're looking at the Shaolin Temple!"

Regardless of whether Zhuge Jinhui replied or not, Tang Xiaomi, who was looking at the place where her gaze had been directed, said with a bashful smile.

"If I do well in this competition, I will be able to witness the famous Seventy Kinds of Performance!"

Tang Xiao Mi said that she was looking forward to it, and Zhuge Jinhui replied with a strange expression.

"I don't know..."

Zhuge Jinxi wasn't particularly interested in Shaolin's seventy sects. The late master of Shaolin that she knows has not mastered the Seventy Kinds of Discipline.

In response to the subtle answer, Tang Xiomi looked in the direction of the Shaolin disciples again.

And not only Tang Xiaomi, but most of the people in the theater were secretly concerned about the Shaolin disciples.

It was an opportunity to gauge the level of the Millennium Shaolin, which is called the Taishan Beidou of Wulin.
