Chapter 55 : Anger
Ice Emperor, Seol Cheon-u.
It is the alias of the First North Sea Martial God.
'Why is that appearing here?'
Suddenly, a crazy amount of interest welled up.
"Young Master?"
At that mont, Wi Ji-yeong called .
"Why?"
"Is there so good news?"
"Why?"
"A smile is on your lips……."
'It seems the corners of my mouth went up without realizing.'
I hurriedly composed my expression.
Perhaps curious, Cheon Deung-jin showed even more interest.
'I can't show this right now either…….'
In fact, asking about another person's martial arts is a very rude action in Murim.
However, since it wasn't my martial art and it was obtained as a secret manual, I thought it was understandable to be curious.
"Miss Cheon. May I read it first and let you know?"
"Ah, yes? Will you let know?"
"Yes. Since I didn't obtain it alone, I will learn it first and share it."
"No, it was just curiosity. You don't have to……."
"I have to check to be sure, but since it is a divine art, I will first figure out if it can be learned overlapping with other divine arts. Just knowing the mnemonics will probably help the existing martial arts you have learned; I don't think it will be harmful."
"Are you going to teach us too?"
Tae Un-seo's eyes sparkled.
"Because I think it is a martial art that might be helpful when cooking."
"I will continue to give my loyalty to you, Captain!"
"To be able to learn the martial art of one of the Ten Venerables under the Heavens……."
Baek Mu-yong also looked at with an unbelievable expression.
"Squad Leader Baek, your mouth is going to rip."
"Ahem."
Seeing that appearance, I wondered if martial artists were indeed martial artists.
It seed they had quite a lot of thirst for martial arts.
'Maybe even more so because they are Ice Palace warriors.'
To survive in the North Sea, they are bodies that have no choice but to learn martial arts based on Ice Arts fundantally.
Naturally, they are bound to want to learn other martial arts rather than Ice Arts.
Because learning a martial art one doesn't want and learning a martial art one wants to learn are different things.
'In that sense, Iron Blood Divine Art is.'
[I hope the successor knows first that the Iron Blood Divine Art, created by the Ice Emperor and developed by this Leader, is a martial art for making the body sturdy.]
It was a martial art for health (?).
Examining the mnemonics simply.
(O-sin-jeuk-cheol Gi-gwan-baek-hae)
'My body is soon steel, let qi penetrate through a hundred bones.'
To think it's a martial art that injects true qi into the bones, not the acupoints.
(Man-mul-gae-heo Yu-a-sil-jon)
'All things in the world are vain, only I truly exist.'
It is a story emphasizing that one should not rely on external environnts or material things, but focus only on one's body and essential power.
In other words.
'Since Iron Blood Divine Art itself is just a divine art that makes the body sturdy.'
It would be possible to graft it onto all martial arts.
I started to read the book avidly while running.
***
At that ti when Hyeokryeon Yeom was returning to the Ice Palace with the Small Snow Squad group and Cheon Deung-jin.
A ssage arrived at the Murim Alliance.
"Strategist, a ssage has arrived from Kunlun."
The Strategist of the Murim Alliance, Zhuge Myeong, who was overseeing nurous tasks of the Alliance, received the ssage at his subordinate's report.
"From Kunlun?"
Being adjacent to the Outer Regions, the Kunlun Sect of Qinghai Province was evaluated as a strategic point of Murim, but.
In a peaceful era, it was rely regarded as a weak sect on the frontier even among the Nine Great Sects.
Still, since they sent a ssage, it needed to be checked, so Zhuge Myeong opened the ssage.
[Tragedy occurred at Mount Kunlun's Jade Void Peak. Requesting investigation.]
-Respectfully, Kunlun Sect Leader, Cheong Pung.
Checking it, it was a ssage sent by none other than the Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sect.
A tragedy?
"It says a tragedy occurred in Kunlun, is there any information that ca in?"
"...I will check."
Seeing as such, it seed they didn't know.
"Call the Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Phenona imdiately, and put in a request to the Beggar's Gang."
A tragedy occurring in Kunlun is dangerous.
Zhuge Myeong knew well the fact that through the history of Jianghu, the starting point of all wars was Kunlun.
As the Strategist of the Murim Alliance, his instinct was ringing an alarm that this part should not be missed.
"What about information reported regarding the Demonic Cult and Outer Region Murim?"
"Ah, there was a report received so ti ago that an Ice Palace person from the Demonic Cult caused a disturbance in Kunlun."
"Why didn't you report it!"
"I apologize, it seed necessary to verify the authenticity of the information first."
At the subordinate's report, Zhuge Myeong's expression hardened.
"Grasp the movents of the Demonic Cult and the Ice Palace."
"Regarding the Ice Palace, a report ca in through an anonymous carrier pigeon a while ago."
"I know that."
It was content that the son of the Demonic Cult Leader and the Young Palace Head of the Ice Palace would get engaged.
It was content that could solidify the relationship between the two groups, but it was also a part that most sects and clans did not care much about.
Indeed, the Murim sects and clans were not idle enough to care about affairs of the Outer Regions.
However,
'The timing of the tragedy occurring and the information coming in is too exquisite.'
The cause of the tragedy in Kunlun was also the work committed by that Ice Palace person from the Demonic Cult.
Perhaps taking this engagent ceremony as an opportunity, the Demonic Cult and the Ice Palace might collaborate to attempt an invasion of the Central Plains.
'I have no choice but to report to the Alliance Leader…….'
Currently, the Alliance Leader of the Murim Alliance, one of the Ten Venerables under the Heavens.
The Buddhist Venerable, Grandmaster Hye-gwang, was in a state of closed-door training for cultivation.
If it were normal tis, he would absolutely not have contacted him, but this situation seed to be a matter requiring urgency.
"Information regarding Saphaeryeon seems necessary too."
"Regarding that matter, I think you can ask the Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Phenona."
"Strategist, the Pavilion Master has arrived."
Rattle-
The door opened and the Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Phenona, the intelligence agency of the Murim Alliance that collects all information of all things in the world.
Mok Gyeong-un entered the office.
"You called."
"Pavilion Master, I would like you to tell the latest information regarding Saphaeryeon."
Mok Gyeong-un marveled at the Strategist's words demanding Saphaeryeon's information as soon as he entered.
"I was going to report just that, but it seems the Strategist knew in advance."
"Mm?"
"It is news that the forr Saphaeryeon Leader's treasure map has appeared. We have obtained information that currently, a person with the alias Book Hiding Guest has fled to Qinghai Province holding the treasure map."
"...The forr Saphaeryeon Leader's treasure map?"
Zhuge Myeong looked alternately at Mok Gyeong-un's information and the ssage flew in from Kunlun, then crumpled the ssage.
Because he roughly realized what the situation of the current Murim Alliance was.
"...Pavilion Master Mok. Request the latest information regarding the Demonic Cult, Ice Palace, and Saphaeryeon from the Beggar's Gang Boss right now, and summon all mbers of the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Phenona."
"Yes? What is the matter?"
At that stupid counter-question, Zhuge Myeong slamd the desk with his fist.
Bang!
"The Pavilion Master is the most unaware of how slow the Murim Alliance's information is right now! It says a tragedy has already occurred in Kunlun, so why are you reporting about the treasure map only now!"
"I, I apologize."
"Send carrier pigeons to Kunlun imdiately to tell them to keep this matter quiet, and block information through the informants of the Beggar's Gang! The matter of Kunlun must absolutely not leak out!"
Like that, what happened in Kunlun began to be transford into a secret history.
However,
Due to the Kunlun Secret History, a wind of change blew into the Murim Alliance.
***
One month.
Calculating by dates, thirty days.
She waited with her neck stretched out for thirty days.
"Young Palace Head. Are you okay?"
Eun Bin asked the Young Palace Head, Seol Ye-rin.
"I, I'm okay."
"There are only a few days left now. Didn't you decide to hold the engagent ceremony as soon as the Small Snow Squad Captain returns!"
Seol Ye-rin was assuming the horse stance.
Han So-yeong's explanation was that blood, sweat, and tears were needed to show the prettiest appearance at the engagent ceremony.
Drip- drip-
Already for one hour, Seol Ye-rin was proceeding with the horse stance while sweating profusely.
"...He is coming within a few days, right?"
"He will. Isn't that right, Vice Captain?"
"Of course."
Eun Bin stroked his bald head and recalled Hyeokryeon Yeom.
He was a man who kept the words he spat out without fail.
"Arriving, he will arrive on ti. But bigger than that is……."
"Is there sothing big?"
"Most preparations are finished, but the most important thing is not prepared."
At the words 'most important thing', Seol Ye-rin's eyes sparkled.
"What is that?"
"Nuptial Wine."
"Ah."
Although not holding a wedding, holding an engagent ceremony itself is promising a future.
From ancient tis, between those promising marriages, there was a custom of the couple sharing and drinking wine contained in the sa cup.
"There is no decent wine. Usually, sothing like this is for the groom's side to procure."
"He will procure it."
Eun Bin started packaging the Small Snow Squad Captain while breaking into a cold sweat.
Because he saw Seol Ye-rin's eyes sparkling.
'Will he... really prepare it?'
This needed to be conveyed sohow.
"First, I just wish he would co quickly. Making a person wait like this."
"The news of return was conveyed through Squad Leader Baek a while ago. It is said he is coming to the Ice Palace with the Young Palace Head of Potala Palace. Probably, it must be tiring for him to co using movent arts diligently."
The mont they were talking like that,
Bang!
Soone ran into the Young Palace Head's Hall.
"Young Palace Head! The Small Snow Squad Captain has arrived!"
At the guard's one word, the Young Palace Head, Seol Ye-rin's legs gave out and she flopped down.
"Get up, Young Palace Head. You have to go out and see."
Han So-yeong extended her hand gently towards Seol Ye-rin.
Nodding her head, Seol Ye-rin tried to raise her body quickly.
However, her trembling legs did not move according to her will.
"I will help you up."
Receiving support from Eun Bin and Han So-yeong, Seol Ye-rin moved toward the main gate of the Ice Palace.
-Grrr.
Tamya peeked its head out from Seol Ye-rin's collar.
It seed to have reacted to the fact that its master had returned.
'Hyeokryeon Yeom.'
At the fact that she could see him if she went just a little further, Seol Ye-rin's heart started pounding.
Thump- thump-
"I see them over there."
"Even Wi Ji-yeong, Baek Mu-yong, and Tae Un-seo, seeing them all sitting down, it seems their legs aren't moving because they used movent arts for a long ti."
"What about the Third Young Master?"
"He is standing."
As they got a little closer, the figures of three people were visible.
One person was General Manager Seol Su-hyeok.
Another person was the Small Snow Squad Captain, Hyeokryeon Yeom, whom she had waited for a month,
And another person was.
"Are you okay?"
She saw snow splashing on Hyeokryeon Yeom's hair.
The person brushing off the snow splashed on his hair,
That person must be the Young Palace Head of Potala Palace, Cheon Deung-jin.
She clearly heard he was a man.
Snap-
'Why, am I getting angry?'
