Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation
chapter-300

<Choose from the options below.> ▶Head to Shaolin Temple ▷Head to the Wudang Sect ▷Head to the Mount Hua Sect

This is the end.

Seol-Hwi was serious. He had this thought that this was going to be the last choice he made in this life. Of course just one choice was not going to make a huge number of situations worse or better. The current situation was a battle of various forces.

It was because too many people were intertwined for the plan to be changed by one person’s choice.

Seol-Hwi thought of the one person he had met. Taoist, Myung Jin of the Wudang Sect.

He met him because of the Great Virtue Pill, but was it not unexpected meeting them?

<You have selected “Head to the Wudang Sect.”>

So, Seol-Hwi chose the Wudang Sect. The Earth Demon nodded and asked back,

“Right, who will come with you?”

<Choose from the options below.> ▶The Black Demon Warlord and the Black Demon Troops ▷The Bloody Death Warlord and Blood Strong Troops ▷Hidden Truth Corps

…Hidden Truth.

Seol-Hwi looked at the three groups and was troubled. Normally, he would try to pick familiar ones, but right now each troop was different.

The Black Demon Troops and the Blood Strong Troops were the representative forces of the main sect and were the core units of the Earth Demon currently.

In contrast, the Hidden Truth Corps are on the front lines. Although they had the specialized field of search and tracking and a lower level of martial arts than the others.

However, despite all that, Seol-Hwi’s choice did not change.

<You have selected the “Hidden Truth Corps.”>

“Is that fine though?”

The Earth Demon asked anxiously.

The Hidden Truth Corps was originally a unit which had formed and trained. So he was interested, but he knew the level of the troops.

No matter how he looked at it, they were not better troops than the others, and worrying about the mission was expected.

“They’re enough.”

Seol-Hwi answered simply.

The Earth Demon, who was about to say more on it, soon respected the thoughts of Seol-Hwi. When going into a difficult battle, a familiar weapon was best.

The Black Demon Troops and the Blood Strong Troops surely were amazing warriors, but they had never worked with Seol-Hwi before.

Seol-Hwi would be moe comfortable with the Hidden Truth Corps through the self imposed struggle over his ability in important missions.

“Good. Then finally…”

<Who will you choose as your escort?> ▶The Earth Demon’s secret warrior ▷Ack Bi and Cho Ah-ran ▷Elder Baek and some elders

Perhaps because the situation was serious, the warriors keep coming out.

Seol-Hwi looked at their faces and thought for a moment. As expected, they were all people who could be of tremendous help in terms of power, and working with them would be comfortable too.

<You have selected “Ack Bi and Cho Ah-ran.”>

“Then…”

After all the choices were made, the Earth Demon let out this long sigh and took a look around.

He approached him cautiously and said,

“Go right away. Good luck then.”

That was the end. This dazzling light enveloped him and his vision turned dark.

<Estimate of the current troops.>

Seol-Hwi’s eyes slowly shone, and a phrase similar to report came to his sight.

The Hidden Truth Corps is composed of 148 members, Divided into three groups: The Four Emperor Troops: 1 captain, 5 leaders, 44 members The Four Directional Troops: 1 captain, 4 leaders, 43 members The Escort Troops: 1 captain, 4 leaders, 45 members

Apart from that, there was the new head of training, the commander of the troops.

<Who will be appointed as the general?> ▶The Commander ▷The new training head ▷The captain of the Four Emperor Troops ▷The captain of the Four Directional Troops ▷The captain of the Escort Troops

Was it the remaining number of people who were used after the Third Disciple was taken out?

After thinking, Seol-Hwi realized that this meant there was the absence of an important person, because the current commander of the troops was actually him.

Then the vassal must be Heukgu, the commander.

The gaze of Seol-Hwi stayed there for a moment. Then he looked down.

Now, for the person in charge of leading the Hidden Truth Corps, timely judgment was more important than force. Depending on how they moved, they could run into Mount Hua or the End Demon.

Right, we need Seo Ryeong in here.

Seol-Hwi chose the last one.

<Do you want “The captain of the Escort Troops to be appointed as the general"?>

Seeing the words which referred to Seo Ryeong, he agreed. And then his vision shone again.

When he woke up again, he was in an unknown village.

“Wow, this must be a pretty famous place.”

The one who was talking with a happy look was Ack Bi. He had already filled his stomach and drank a glass of alcohol, so his face was already flushed red.

“What kind of restaurant is this, I can eat everything so well?”

The one who had said that was actually Cho Ah-ran. Because of her young looks, those around her were actually taken aback.

‘Did everyone get brought here?’

Seol-Hwi looked around slowly.

There were eight people, including him, seated. In addition to Heukgu, the new training master, and each of the captains, there was also Cho Ah-ran and Ack Bi.

Wondering where the others went, Seol-Hwi sneaked a look at Heukgu.

“The Escort Troops’ members are all scattered around and carrying out their assigned missions. They will gather as soon as the order comes.”

He reported the situation like a real aide.

They were out investigating, so that was good. If they thought about it, the actions of the troops were in line with the current situation.

The troops dispatched this time were larger forces. Therefore, it was even more necessary to split them up, because otherwise it would catch the attention of the people.

“As you may have heard this morning, the information currently available isn’t guaranteed to be reliable,”

Said the new head of training after he cleared his throat. And Seol-Hwi watched him.

“The place of Mount Hua and the End Demon. Wasn’t it easy to know? A bit too easy, so could be a trap, or might be disinformation to confuse us too.”

You found out where he lives? Already?

In fact, the current situation was unfamiliar to Seol-Hwi. Was he not in a situation where he did not even know how many days had passed since the operation started or where he was now?

But Seol-Hwi did not bother to ask. During an important mission, if the commander suddenly asks how many days had passed or what they were doing, even the lowest ranking subordinates would feel uneasy.

Rather, it seemed like if he stayed still, the people gathered would tell him the current situation one after another.

“This, Jang Man-gu has a lot of mines, so it has a lot of people floating in and out. So it would be easy to fool the eyes of those around, which makes it a perfect place for us to make a move. I hope we can get some more information while staying here, how does that sound?”

The captain of the Four Emperor Troops asked.

If it is Jang Man-gu… the Ten Districts. It isn’t too far from Mount Wudang.

Thanks to that, he naturally knew where they would be.

“Currently, there seems to be no movement from the First Disciple, Mount Hua, or even Wudang. I don’t even know what they are planning,”

The Four Directions Troops’ captain informed them.

“Well, something is odd. I see all the guys who seem like they would run away right then. I am sure that the End Demon is after something,”

Added Ack Bi after he took a drink from his glass.

“Well, it isn’t like that isn’t possible. Even the Wudang Sect doesn’t have anything to say about this yet,”

Added Cho Ah-ran and Ack Bi turned to Seo Ryeong, and asked,

“What did the Lower District say?”

Seol-Hwi chose her as the general for this. Seo Ryeong spoke like she had been waiting for the question.

“I see that everyone has caught their breath. It is an unmistakable fact that they are pointing their spears at Wudang.”

“Why? Is there any surety that it is Wudang? Sometimes people aim at the other side for a fake move and then attack elsewhere, like Shaolin? Can it not be that?”

Seol-Hwi asked again as if to confirm. Seo Ryeong responded,

“To say that, Shaolin’s actions have caught my eye so far. Even if one tried to find out the number of warriors from the previous generation who practiced face to face in training, it is hard to know.”

“I guess so.”

Seol-Hwi nodded.

The Shaolin were a martial arts sect, but at the same time, it was a temple too. For Buddhist monks, promoting themselves was not a virtue. For that reason, other ones in the Nine Great Sects boasted about their sect leaders and what their strongest troops were, but it was just Shaolin who did not reveal such things.

They were such people. Vanity and the desire to show off should be avoided as Buddhist disciples.

As a result, when it comes to Shaolin, this thousand year old temple, things which were not so funny happened at times.

The Evil Factions had boldly invaded the Shaolin’s mountain, and considering the current Shaolin abbot and his warriors, they were a step below.

The upper disciples and the former generations who thought they were dead suddenly appeared and smashed the evil factions.

“Hmm.”

Shaolin was such a place. Even for the Beggars Union who gathered all the information in Kangho, they could not get much about Shaolin or about how many of their former warriors still resided in Shaolin.

As a result, even the End Demon and Mount Hua would not dare to plan against Shaolin.

“So it is Wudang.”

On the other hand, Wudang would be easier to attack. Unlike Shaolin, who was closed off which made it hard to obtain information on them, Wudang’s power was well known. However, the Wudang Sect was a place on par with Shaolin. It would be burdensome once they attacked.

“What do we do now?”

When Seo Ryeong asked, Seol-Hwi looked at her and asked back,

“What do you think?”

“…Uh?”

“Have you thought about how we should move at a time like this?”

Seol-Hwi had been curious since before.

Seo Ryeong, she had often given directions close to the level of having foresight. Was it not for that reason that she was appointed as the person in charge of the commander role?

“I think…”

Sneaking a glance at the window, she continued,

“I think we need to use the Demonic Arts and take down the private places closeby.”

“…What!?”

“Huh!”

“Ah…*

This made all the eyes gather around her. It was totally unexpected, and in a way, it was a bold choice too.

“Currently, all of this is happening because Mount Hua has the initiative. We only moved after receiving a report later on how they moved. That is why it is hard to get ahead of them.”

“Hmmm.”

“And the reason why Mount Hua is making a name for itself is because they were able to take down the members of the sect who were under the End Demon. What will happen if it turns out that those results were actually an alliance with the Demonic Sect?”

She got up and moved around the table as she talked.

“There will be a change in the thoughts of people who have regarded Mount Hua as the number one of Kangho. The Demonic Sect is trying to occupy the Central Plains, and they will not let their harsh nature go unnoticed. They will rise up like bees.”

“What does that have to do with the massacres of the land and people?”

Cho Ah-ran asked. At first glance, there seemed no correlation.

“The Central Plains will not believe that the Mount Hua Sect is cooperating with the Demonic Sect no matter what. Because they have already been handling them in the past, it would be groundless rumors for them.”

“…Right.”

“So the massacre will come in a different way. If we use the demonic arts to kill them, it will be difficult to dismiss the groundless rumors. A large investigation will be initiated at the Murim Alliance level, and then the forces of the End Demon and Mount Hua will get caught. If they don’t, their actions will be greatly restricted.”

It makes sense. No, it is actually good.

Now the interest of the people in the land will be on Mount Hua, because in the current situation, the closest sect to the first sect in the world—

The Shaolin, the spirit of strong. It was not known if their thoughts would change, but it would definitely not be Wudang.

These days, the number of supporters calling for Mount Hua to replace the Wudang Sect has increased a lot. In such a time, if Mount Hua working with the Demonic Sect comes out?

Their thoughts would change. As expected, there will be people who change their attitude in saying that Wudang deserved to be there.

However, it only took a little while to destroy the lands and properties, and that would lead to a loss of lives too. So while everyone was thinking—

“I guess I have to meet him in person.”

Seol-Hwi opened his eyes, and everyone’s eyes focused on him.

“Meeting?”

“Uh?”

“…?”

In this situation where it was the calm before the storm—

“Who are you talking about?”

To Ack Bi’s question, Seol-Hwi gave a short answer,

“Sect Leader of the Wudang Sect.”
