“???”

Mu Jin looked puzzled when he saw them.

All three of them looked like old women.

But she wasn't an old woman of a similar age to Geumsun Shinni.

She looked like a grandmother now, and the three of them looked like they couldn't even move right away, and their faces and the backs of their hands were full of age spots and wrinkles.

He looked like he was the same age as Tangak, who had reached ninety years of age, or even older.

But there were other people who looked even more perplexed than Mujin.

"What is wrong with you?"

She asked with a look of surprise, wondering if she hadn't expected the old women to appear.

And thanks to that question, Mujin was able to find out the identity of the old women.

"The elders of the Amifa who have retired..."

It seemed that the Amifa's Cabinet Members, including Geumseon Shinni, were the former elders who had retired as elders and elders.

In most schools, when a person died in the world, a leader like a monk would naturally retire.

Occasionally they continued their activities with the rank of "elder." Just like the volcanic waves.

While Mujin was examining the old women, Ignoring Zhang Wen's question, they turned to Mu Jin and pretended to know him first.

"Glance · I wonder if you're the famous Shaolin Divine Dragon..."

"I have wondered so much that even our retired ears can hear its name, but it is truly amazing to see it."

"I don't know... Don't you think we did something at that age? Glimpse·"

As if they were out for a drink in the neighborhood, their laid-back attitude made Mujin look embarrassed. Zhuge Muhuan asked them.

"It's been a while. Seniors..."

"Glance · It's been a long time since I've been in the military..."

"Can I take your fact that you're here to retire and join the fight?"

His age may have reduced his physical abilities, but if he had built up his skills to be that age, he would be a formidable master.

Even more so if you're from the elite Ami faction.

Naturally, there was tension on the battlefield, but the reaction of the old women that followed was far beyond everyone's expectations.

"We're not here to fight..."

"I'm here to represent the Amifa and ask for your forgiveness."

After saying this, the old monks knelt down as if bowing to the Buddha statue and put their heads on the floor.

In terms of the lineage, the old monks who are ranked higher than the Amifa Jangmun Jinseon Shinni.

To use the analogy of the Tang family, just like the Tang family, the supreme elder of the sect humiliatedly knelt down and bowed.

"Why are you doing that?"

Jin Shen Xin cried out with a stunned face, but what came back was the old monks' stern answer.

"Zhang Wenyin is just watching..."

"The other disciples should not move a single step..."

After saying this, the old monks were still on their knees, looking in the direction of Shaolin, who had only raised their upper bodies.

Seeing the strange sight of Amifa, Zhuge Muhuan covered his mouth with a fan and said.

"May I ask what this is all about?"

"It's just like I said... Military·"

"I'm here to apologize for the sins of our Amifa..."

"Do you know how many of the Dang's blood relatives died when the Amifa attacked the Tang family?"

At Zhuge Muhuan's point, someone from the Amifa side opened their mouth.

We also seemed to be trying to answer that many people had lost their lives in the war, but in the end, no one could speak.

One of the three old women turned her head to look at the Amifa disciples.

Mujin could only see the back of the old woman's head, but all the nuns who tried to open their mouths fell silent at her gaze.

And the old women, who had interrupted the disciples' useless words, spoke calmly.

"I'm not just asking you to forgive me..."

"We're going to keep ARMY in the house for the next thirty years."

"I don't mean just words... I will announce to the Middle Kingdom what I am going to do, and I will not have any disciples for the next thirty years, and I will not interfere in anything in the Middle Plains."

"Are you saying that you will cut ties with the disciples of the Secular Family?"

"That's right..."

Seal Gate ·

At first glance, it may not seem like a big deal, but Mu Jin, who had been in Wulin for nearly a decade, knew the weight of those words.

Not bringing in disciples meant that the line of the sect would be cut off.

Of course, it won't be completely cut off in thirty years, but what comes after that is the problem.

I no longer interfere in the affairs of the Middle Kingdom. This meant that Amifa would no longer be able to make any money.

Also, when someone asked for help from Amifa, they had to turn it down because it was a "seal."

Eventually, their names were slowly forgotten, and the nuns of the Amifa were forced to live on only the grass and animals of Mount Emei.

If this kind of life continued for thirty years, it would take an enormous amount of time to raise the prestige of the Amifa back to the level it has now.

Of course, as the matter was a matter, the Golden Sun God cried out with a big face.

"Uncles! That's what it says."

"Gal!!"

Before she could finish speaking, the old women burst into tears.

As expected, his body was dwarfed and weak, but the inner strength of the Buddha that he had cultivated over the years was nothing short of magnificent.

In an instant, the old women who had made him shut up spoke in a gentle tone, unlike what they had said to him.

"I'm not just asking you to forgive me because I'm going to do a confession..."

"If you wish, we can lay down our lives in addition to the gates."

"It's all our fault, and we should end it with our lives."

"We are here because we were foolish."

"I should have stopped him from doing the same when he was motivated by the Tang family making money and expanding his power..."

"But I couldn't... We are already retired, so how can those who have retired discuss the affairs of the Munsect with the elders and elders?"

"I know this is also an excuse. It took too much blood to realize it, so it's too late."

"That's why I'm asking you to kneel down like this..."

"We have only a few days left to live, but can the lives of the three of us and the thirty years of Amifa put an end to this cycle of evil?"

After speaking, the old monks again bowed to the floor, tearing their foreheads apart.

“····”

Mujin looked at them with a speechless face.

Elderly people who were vicious or eccentric would fight to their heart's content, but it was not easy for Mu Jin to attack the old people who looked so bad.

When the anger that had risen at the Jin Sun Xinni's red flag subsided, Mu Jin calmly gathered his thoughts.

'Yes... If I'm going to be able to get through the gate, I'd rather than fight."

Come to think of it, in the first place, the main enemy of Mujin and the Shaolin Alliance was Shincheon... Amifa was just taken advantage of by them.

Of course, I was harmed by those guys who took advantage of me, but...

"If you refuse that offer and fight, even if you win, you will definitely suffer damage."

It wasn't the body of the gods, and I felt that it was a loss in many ways to lose my metallurgical power fighting against those who were being used by them.

There are still many enemies to fight.

And Zhuge Muhuan was also thinking about this.

It wasn't because of the sad appearance of the old monks. Zhuge Muhuan wasn't a human being who was swayed by such a figure...

This was because, as Mujin had recalled, it would be more advantageous to conserve power than to fight and kill all of the Amifa disciples.

However, Zhuge Muhuan hid his true intentions and opened his mouth.

"I don't know about Shaolin and the shaman, but can the Tang family really forgive Ami's tyranny now? If you want to ask for forgiveness, you must make the restitution you deserve."

In a word, they were calling for war reparations.

"I'll do as much as I want..."

"What is the use of offerings to those who are now going to the gate and walk the Buddhist way, cut off from the world?"

"Let all offerings be made except for the Buddha statue to honor the Buddha."

At the direction of the three old monks, the disciples of the Amifa could neither do this nor that, but they looked at the long-standing monk Jinsun Shinni.

And for a moment, he fell into deep trouble. With a faint sigh, he opened his mouth.

"Follow the instructions of the masters..."

After that, it was a flurry of events.

The Amifa disciples began to go in and out of the mountain gates, bringing out various offerings.

Looking at the gold and silver treasures that had begun to pile up in front of the mountain gate, Zhuge Muhuan covered his face with a fan to hide his satisfied expression.

It wasn't just because they had stolen money.

Now they have no wealth left, so after thirty years. There was no foundation for breaking the seal and starting the strong game again.

In an environment where you can't even do a lot of heavy paper, you have to learn martial arts and perform Buddhist gong.

Thirty years from now, few people would want to stay in the Amifa unless they were truly committed to the Buddha.

That's right· There will be only those who are like those old monks who are now confessing their sins to themselves.

Immediately after all the war reparations were paid. One of the old monks spoke up.

"If you do, cut our throats and finish this job..."

It was Mujin who answered her words.

"You don't have to sacrifice your life."

Mujin felt strange about their attitude.

"Still, a prestigious name is a prestigious one, so this is it..."

Even if they are seduced by the gods and walk the path of depravity, there are still a few people who are upright.

And it didn't seem necessary to kill them. Well, it was also because of emotional reluctance.

When they descended Mount Emei, which they had climbed in anticipation of the battle, Shaolin and the shaman disciples were carrying various pieces of baggage on their shoulders.

I thought I was going to bring the bodies of the wounded and the dead, but what I ended up bringing with me was a huge amount of gold and silver treasures.

"Fufufu · It was a good decision. Shaolin Divine Dragon·"

On the way down Mt. Emei· Suddenly, Zhuge Muhuan spoke to him.

"What do you mean?"

"Keeping the old women alive. If they had killed the thugs in the end, the surviving disciples of Amifa would have dreamed of revenge thirty years later. Most of the foundations have been destroyed, but revenge is terrifying. But as long as they are alive, they will edify the Amifa."

Mu Jin smiled at Zhuge Muhuan's praise. I didn't really calculate that much...

"What are you going to do now?"

Zhuge Muhuan laughed wickedly at Mu Jin's question.

"Fufufu · Now that you've succeeded in sealing Amifa without any damage, you have more options. Originally, I was going to go to the south bay after closing the store, but I think it would be better to split the troops in two and send them directly to the south bay."

"If you do, I'll join the ranks of the southerners."

"Hmmm· I'm going to have to think about the composition of my forces."

Ignoring Zhuge Muhuan, who began to gently shake his fan as if he was lost in thought, Mu Jin turned his head in the direction of the other man.

"If you can warm up while you're on the way to the south, you'll be able to recover."

From here, it would take ten days to travel past Yunnan Province to the place where the Guyang Shell is located, even at the speed of the master's movement.

For Mu Jin, who fought the battle with Meng Zhu Wei Zhiqi and fought again yesterday before his body was fully recovered, it could be said that he had bought time for his body to recover.

Well, as soon as we get there, we're going to have to go to war.

"Still, it won't be as hard as it was when I faced Wizihak."

It was Mujin who came up with such positive thoughts.

* * *

A few days ago·

Located in Xinjiang, the heart of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountain, which is said to be the general mountain of the current Ma Qiao.

There, an elderly man prostrated himself at a young man.

Perhaps some of the followers of the Demon Cult would have thought it strange if they saw it.

The prostrate old man was a Master of Light who enjoyed the power of all people in the Demon Cult.

No, Chen Ma had been absent for more than a decade, and in fact, he was an old man who could be said to be the leader of the Demon Cult.

"Did you come here for a fisherman? Lord Lesser God·"

The young man replied to the question of the Throne of Light.

"I am the master of the world in the future, so where is there I not to go to the world?"

The Luminous Throne only sighed inwardly.

There were so many things that could be refuted, for there was no telling what woes would come from making fun of them unnecessarily.

It wasn't just that he was afraid of the rank of the Lesser Heavens.

He hadn't yet perfected his martial arts like Chen Zhu, but his martial arts had already surpassed his own.

That made me even more afraid. It's not even finished, but it's already "that martial art" that can reach that level.

Take a moment to look down at the Throne of Light, who is prostrating his head without answering.

The young man, who was called Xiao Tianju, spoke again with a look of disapproval.

"I've heard that you're sending troops to the South to deal with apostates..."

"That's right..."

"That's good. I'll join them."

“???”

With an expression of incomprehension, the Master of Light looked up, and Xiao Tianzhu smiled fishy and answered the question.

"Recently, the affairs of Inju have gone awry, and the supply of elixirs has been disrupted. If I were still a child, I would wait, but now that I am a grown man, shouldn't I raise my hand instead of waiting?"

“··· Do you mean to say that you will get the elixir from the South Bay?"

"Yes... I personally found out that even though the Five Great Masters died stupidly, they did a pretty thorough investigation. I've found a number of elixirs that seem to be quite useful."

Wu Daeju was a man who used the name Huang Gon and had been traveling back and forth between Yunnan and Nanman for many years before he was killed by the Shaolin Divine Dragon.

Among the preparations was the work of the "elixir" of the Little God.

"So, while you go to the south to take the elixir, I will personally help you with the affairs of the Great Lord. Hahahahaha·"

Xiao Tianzhu let out a blood-soaked laugh.
