Chapter 70 : Master
The North Sea Ice Palace Lord, Seol Baek-ho, looked back at the General Manager, Seol Su-hyeok.
“Do you think the kids are traveling well?”
“They would be doing well, right?”
“Why are you curious about that?”
Hong Ye-hwa entered the Palace Lord's Hall.
“Why? Do you miss your daughter already?”
“That is true but…….”
“It hasn't even been a fortnight since they left.”
“I just an it would be nice if they sent even a carrier pigeon.”
“I hope you didn't make strange demands to the kids by any chance.”
Strange demands?
He never had the thought of making demands.
Co to think of it, there was no need to make demands necessarily to Hyeokryeon Yeom and Seol Ye-rin.
“Hehe.”
“That expression… it seems you are thinking of doing sothing again.”
Hong Ye-hwa could notice imdiately.
“Husband. If you find sothing by chance, you must share it with , okay?”
Flinch.
“O-Of course.”
Although he said that to the Ice Queen, Hong Ye-hwa.
He was already sending a telepathic ssage to Seol Su-hyeok on the other side.
-Dispatch a master of concealnt who can chase Hyeokryeon Yeom and Seol Ye-rin.
-…Are you serious?
-I am serious.
General Manager, Seol Su-hyeok, sighed.
If this news enters the Young Palace Head's ears…….
‘I don't know.’
If told to do it, he has to do it.
***
At that ti, Demonic Cult.
“It is a rumor spreading in the Central Plains recently.”
-The North Sea Ice Palace Young Palace Head and the Demonic Cult Young Cult Leader are scheduled to marry.
“What does that an?”
At the report of the Thunderbolt Demon Clan Young Clan Head, Byeok Tae-san, the Demonic Cult Leader's first son.
The Eldest Young Master, Hyeokryeon Geuk, frowned.
“It seems the rumor is being exaggerated.”
“So, you an… there are many who think Hyeokryeon Yeom will beco the Young Cult Leader of the Demonic Cult now?”
“No, rather than that, it seems there are many who mistake the Third Young Master for the Young Cult Leader.”
“……Didn't you say the Yayul Clan Head returned after seeing the engagent ceremony?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
“Did he not have any separate words?”
“Yes, there are none. It seems he only conveyed that he is doing well.”
Hyeokryeon Geuk tilted his head.
He could not believe at all that Yayul Cheon-ung t the Third Young Master and returned without saying anything.
“Can that be?”
The Clan Heads of the Five Great Demon Clans were those who did their best to pull down the Cult Leader's son sohow.
Only then can the Hyeokryeon Demon Clan be suppressed and a Cult Leader be born from another Demon Clan.
“I have no choice but to think Hyeokryeon Yeom did sothing with the Hell Poison Demon.”
“I will have to et Yayul Jin.”
He was wondering how the scoundrel Hyeokryeon Yeom was living indeed.
“Hyeokryeon Mu too. Yayul Cheon-ung too.”
Those who t Hyeokryeon Yeom and returned were changing a little bit sohow.
“Is his wedding date set?”
“Not yet.”
“I will have to deal with him starting from that day. What about Hyeokryeon Mu?”
“That is… they say he went out to the Central Plains.”
“What?”
“They said Hyeokryeon Yeom and the North Sea Ice Palace Young Palace Head set out on a sightseeing tour of the Central Plains now.”
“Is that so?”
Then there is no need to wait.
“Send so kids to the Central Plains.”
“…Would it be okay to send them from the Thunderbolt Demon Clan?”
“Yeah. Blow them all up.”
“…How will we handle the aftermath?”
“I will ascend to the position of Young Cult Leader sooner or later. Then it's fine, right?”
“Yes, Young Cult Leader.”
The Thunderbolt Demon Clan Young Clan Head, Byeok Tae-san, took a clasped hands posture.
***
Hyeokryeon Yeom, who beca a target of many people without even realizing it, was currently finishing preparations to leave Yulin Inn.
“Let's go now.”
The owner of Yulin Inn, Yu So-dong, issued an eviction order to the Mount Hua thugs.
“…Really?”
“Yes, I didn't think Senior Brothers would help like this.”
Thanks to that, Yulin Inn was filled to capacity for the first ti since it was established.
It was because they promoted the inn together with the people of the Seol Clan.
The Mount Hua thugs spoke their sincerity after hearing Yu So-dong's words.
“We are sorry.”
The Mount Hua thugs were apologizing for harassing Yu So-dong in the anti.
“…Are you serious?”
The Mount Hua thugs, who had never done anything like an apology until being expelled, apologized.
Yu So-dong could not believe it at all.
“Working together, we could know how hard the work you do is.”
“…I also know how hard it was for the Senior Brothers in the anti. That was why I gave money as requested without saying much.”
Although Yu So-dong did not say it in the anti, he knew well that Mount Hua was in a difficult situation.
Like any prestigious Orthodox sect, since it is a place where people live, the Mount Hua Sect also needs money.
That money is tightly managed by donations and receiving a little offering while protecting shops in the surrounding area.
However, from a certain mont, shops relying on Mount Hua decreased, and even offerings were decreasing.
In the midst of that…….
‘Since he had his own matters too.’
Yu So-dong recalled the ti he was expelled.
Because of his action, Mount Hua inevitably faced difficulties for a while, and the grudges and resentnt of the Senior Brothers who would have suffered that damage intact were understandable.
Un-sang hesitated for a mont at Yu So-dong's words and spoke.
“I hope you know that the reason we ca all the way here was not simply because of money.”
“When we return to Mount Hua, I will talk about your reinstatent once.”
Yu So-dong shook his head.
“It is fine.”
The current life was not bad either.
The reason Yu So-dong was expelled leads to one conclusion if looking only at the result.
Although there are various reasons and circumstances, eventually it was because of money.
Because he had no money to pay back to Mount Hua, because he didn't even have a chance to lead a daily life.
A really grateful point is that his qi center and limb ridians were not cut even while being expelled.
“It is enough if I live my life, and Senior Brothers live Senior Brothers' lives.”
“Oh my. They are completely beating the drum and playing the hourglass drum among themselves.”
Wi Ji-yeong sighed while watching the Mount Hua thugs conversing with each other with her chin resting on her hand.
Watching their appearance, I smirked at Wi Ji-yeong's words and said.
“Well, wouldn't everyone have their own circumstances? Let's leave slowly now too.”
Other people were in a state of having boarded the carriage.
A situation where we just need to depart now.
-Kulkul, co to think of it, I think you said there would be no fights a few days ago.
-You should call it a raid, Master!
Raid?
Shook-
Martial artists shot into Yulin Inn.
Masked n drawing swords and swinging them with the intention of killing everyone in sight.
Even at the sudden raid, I was not flustered.
“Fla Butterfly.”
First of all, I burned the masks of the masked n.
“Kuaaak!”
At the scream, those who boarded the carriage got off.
“We will handle the enemies nearby!”
Along with the faces revealed as the masks and the front of the black clothes burned, the hem of the uniform worn inside the black clothes entered my sight.
If it is that attire…….
“Zhongnan?”
Zhongnan Sect?
I made a puzzled expression.
Why would the Zhongnan Sect attack here?
At that ti, the voices of the Mount Hua thugs were heard.
“S-Stop it!”
When I looked back at the place where the sound ca from, the inn was being destroyed.
I looked around the surroundings and started to grasp the situation quickly.
First, the martial artists of the Zhongnan Sect were destroying the inn while fighting with the Mount Hua thugs.
Second, I looked in the direction of Seol Ye-rin, Cheon Deung-jin, and the Divine Physician were.
If they were targeting us, they would have definitely targeted one of the three.
No one rushed at them.
If so.
‘Is the purpose really destroying the inn?’
What is this inn?
-Kulkul, isn't it an easy problem? A problem solved if we look back at the path we ca.
At the Sword Venerable's words, I looked back at the direction we ca.
Ah, I understood.
The site of this inn was occupying the only passage leading to the north.
It was truly an auspicious site that could be called a natural fortress.
The two sects dominating Shaanxi are the Zhongnan Sect and the Mount Hua Sect.
There was all this reason for Zhongnan attacking Mount Hua.
“Senior Brother Un-sang!”
Slice-
Zhongnan's sword attacks Mount Hua.
I called in the Small Snow Squad.
“Help them.”
“Yes, Captain.”
I wonder if it is right to save Mount Hua from Zhongnan's raiding party but.
Regardless of anything else, I had to repay Yu So-dong.
Because it was the owner of Yulin Inn who helped us rest fully for two days.
Whoosh-
Flas burn.
The shot flas started burning the martial artists of Zhongnan.
I told Seol Ye-rin not to use Ice Art.
It was because it seed many troubleso things would occur if people knew a martial artist of the Ice Palace entered the Central Plains.
“The flas…….”
Flas rise.
Those wearing black masks suffer burning.
“Change the target! Unfold the sword formation!”
The problem is,
Slice-
When Tae Un-seo holding a kitchen knife swung his arm, the limbs of the masked n were cut off.
Shushuk!
The dagger shot by Wi Ji-yeong pierced the necks of the masked n.
Kwang!
The giant sword blows away the masked n.
“…….”
Yu So-dong's expression gradually hardened.
It was because Yulin Inn was being destroyed as if almost half-destroyed.
***
Zhongnan's Elder Byeok Ra-jung could not understand the current situation at all.
He just intended to occupy a re inn.
‘He only knew that Mount Hua's third-generation disciples visited.’
He really didn't even think about the story that there are martial artists among the guests.
Furthermore,
‘Every single one is a master!’
Plus, whether there is a guy who learned sorcery, guys whose bodies caught fire and collapsed existed here and there.
“Damn it!”
Realizing that they would be annihilated at this rate, he unfolded the Heavenly River Thirty-Six Swords.
Those three cut down Zhongnan's disciples.
He swung his sword towards the man swinging a giant sword.
Heavenly River Surging Waves!
The surging sword strikes began to hit the giant sword multiple tis.
“Keuheup!”
Baek Mu-yong, surprised by that montum, retreated.
“Escort Baek!”
Wi Ji-yeong saw that and threw daggers in succession, but,
Whoosh!
Byeok Ra-jung, who blew away all the daggers with sword wind, approached Wi Ji-yeong.
Speed befitting a Zhongnan Elder.
In a situation where Wi Ji-yeong's neck is in danger at this rate.
Clang!
Grating-
‘Kitchen knife?’
Byeok Ra-jung's sword was blocked by a kitchen knife.
The kitchen knife of the man whose Ghost Eyes were shimring,
Woong-
Could not handle the enhanced qi rising from the sword.
Crack!
As the kitchen knife crumbled down as it was, Tae Un-seo made a futile expression.
“Die-”
At that ti,
Flutter-
A butterfly sat on the sword.
‘What-’
Kwang!
Instantly, the sword exploded, and Byeok Ra-jung quickly retreated backward.
It was because a man wearing black martial arts uniform stepped in front of the three people.
It is the man who unfolded sorcery creating flas.
“…It doesn't seem like martial arts a re guest would unfold though.”
“You guys doing that don't seem like people who would cover their faces with masks and raid an inn like this?”
Byeok Ra-jung examined the venue.
The inn was already in a ss, and the Mount Hua Sect martial artists were retreating while bleeding.
Zhongnan's martial artists were also confronting behind Byeok Ra-jung.
‘The purpose is achieved.’
The inn collapsed, but there are too many eyewitnesses who witnessed this situation.
Even since he used Zhongnan's sword.
‘He must silence the witnesses.’
Otherwise, this news will be conveyed not only to Mount Hua but to the entire Murim.
Above all, it is a matter Mount Hua must not know.
He did not know if a fight might occur again between Zhongnan and Mount Hua, whose relationship is not good anyway.
“That look, it is a look that says you have to kill us all but things seem to have gone wrong.”
“Mount Hua… will not take this lightly!”
Un-sang, the leader of the Mount Hua thugs who was struggling to survive, shouted seeing the masked n.
“…You are hastening your death.”
The battle that was in a lull restarts with one word from Byeok Ra-jung.
A situation still nurically superior.
If only he handled the man using sorcery, Byeok Ra-jung judged he could win this battle.
At that ti,
Crackle-
“Keueok!”
“C-Cold.”
“I-It is freezing!”
The disciples started screaming from behind.
“Are you… not finished yet?”
In an instant, over dozens of people all turned into ice statues.
“A master… using Ice Art?”
Seol Ye-rin, tired of waiting in the carriage, intruded into the inn.
