The Northern Sea Ice Palace’s Martial God Son-in-Law Chapter 77 : Chapter 77

Chapter 77 : Dragon's Pond and Tiger's Den

Han Seol-bi, who was watching the battle, covered her mouth.

'G-Ghost.'

She didn't know Hyeokryeon Yeom handled the sword that well.

In the Ice Palace, he seed to handle flas mainly rather than using a sword.

Because he had an Extre Yang Body, the flas he could handle were close to sorcery.

However.

'This ti, rather than setting fire, he cut everything down with the sword.'

Thanks to that, Mount Hua did not burn.

The worry was Han Seol-bi's great miscalculation.

Zhongnan succumbed just like that.

Then.

"What is going on here!"

Martial artists wearing the martial arts uniforms of Mount Hua poured down in a swarm.

Very tily, at that.

"What has Zhongnan... done at Mount Hua!"

At the voice of the Mount Hua Sect expert ringing loudly, Han Seol-bi's expression stiffened.

"It seems Zhongnan was trying to catch us."

"Ha, we have committed a great discourtesy to the benefactors of Mount Hua. We apologize."

"...An Elder of Mount Hua apologizing to the Ice Palace?"

The martial artists of Zhongnan watching that scene witnessed with their own two eyes that the facts they knew until now and Mount Hua's attitude were different.

"We will leave the rest to you."

"Yes. We will talk well to Zhongnan."

"Yes, then. Move out!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Hyeokryeon Yeom, who was called Captain, moved leading the carriage.

The Young Palace Head Seol Ye-rin and the people aboard the carriage did not even show their faces outside the carriage until the end.

'Are they... going just like that?'

Han Seol-bi began to follow the carriage while still in a concealed state.

Mount Hua was being covered with the sll of burning and the scent of blood.

***

"It was easier than I thought."

As I boarded the carriage, Seol Ye-rin spoke with an expression that said the excitent had died down.

"Did you want to step forward?"

"It's good to be helpful, after all."

"Did Miss Cheon want that too?"

"......Yes."

"What about you, Elder?"

"Are you trying to make an old man like work too?"

"It was a joke."

There was no need for the Divine Physician to step forward anyway.

"By the way, you were stronger than I thought."

"Did you see?"

"With such a rampage going on, I couldn't help but see."

I looked back at Seol Ye-rin.

"Did you see?"

"Yes, I saw it for the first ti. That side of the Third Young Master."

I scratched my head.

I didn't reveal demonic qi.

Even so, the madness part must have been completely different from when I fought in the Ice Palace.

In my past life, when I learned demonic arts in the Demonic Cult, I fought while pouring out demonic qi.

If I did that here now, it would be like announcing 'I am a demonic practitioner,' so I restrained myself.

Instead, I spewed out Extre Yang Qi, and it certainly helped in combat.

"It's a bit embarrassing."

"No, it was the best."

"I think that's enough praise, rather than that, why don't you tell us where we are going now?"

At the Divine Physician's grumbling, I answered.

"We plan to cross over to Hubei right away like this. We kept our promise with Mount Hua."

Now it was Mount Hua's turn to keep their promise.

"Will they support the Ice Palace?"

"They will."

Whether it was the Sect Leader or Baek San, they would know that if they didn't repay the favor, I would set fire to Mount Hua.

"Then are we going to Hubei now?"

"Yeah, I'm thinking of going down to Hunan via Hubei."

"I understand."

"It's another long carriage ride."

"This ti, I'll try to arrive a bit faster."

The mont I muttered that.

Creak-

Another carriage blocked the path our carriage was going down.

"What's going on?"

"Young Master... I think you should co out and see."

When I went outside at Wi Ji-yeong's call.

"Save..."

A fallen man was reaching out along with a carriage.

***

Deung Ga-so, an escort of the Geumgang Escort Agency who was setting out on an escort mission from Shaanxi to Hubei, was moved by the party who gave him water and even gave him a ride in their carriage.

"We are helping you since we are on our way to Hubei anyway."

"Thank, thank you."

"Where did all the porters and escorts go, and you are left alone?"

Grind-

Deung Ga-so, who ground his teeth for a mont at the words of the man who helped him, answered.

"The introduction is late. I am Deung Ga-so, an escort of the Geumgang Escort Agency."

"Ah, yes. I am Hyeokryeon Yeom."

"I am a physician."

"I am Cheon Deung-jin."

"I am Seol Ye-rin."

"Yes, nice to et you."

While talking with Seol Ye-rin, I asked Deung Ga-so.

"How did you end up in that state?"

Deung Ga-so told his story.

He had escort goods to deliver to Mount Hua, and masked n rushed in targeting those goods.

"You an the ones who targeted the escort goods at Mount Hua were masked n?"

"Yes. Their swords were so fast, it was hard to escape alive."

"Did you protect the escort goods?"

Shake shake.

"I couldn't protect them."

"Did Zhongnan take them?"

"No, there was soone else targeting the escort goods."

"If there was soone else..."

"It was incredible speed. While the porters and other escorts were being killed by the masked n, he snatched the goods and ran away."

"Then you wouldn't even know what the escort goods were?"

"Yes. Since I don't know well where they sent it to Mount Hua from either... for now, I am thankful just to be alive."

"Where are you going?"

"The Geumgang Escort Agency is an escort agency under the Murim Alliance."

At those words, my expression stiffened.

"Then the place Geumgang Escort Agency is going to now is..."

"The destination is the Murim Alliance. Thank you so much for giving a ride. Ah, by any chance, where is your destination?"

At the escort Deung Ga-so's question, I answered briefly.

"...Dongting Lake. We are on our way to Yueyang Tower."

"Dongting Lake, that's nice. But there is no mark on the carriage? May I ask which sect or clan you are from?"

Deung Ga-so expected them to be martial artists of Mount Hua naturally since it was a carriage coming down from Mount Hua, but after seeing the faces of the people riding in the carriage, he tilted his head.

"Uh..."

"Hmm..."

As Seol Ye-rin and Cheon Deung-jin hesitated, I brought it up.

"It is a carriage from the Ice Palace."

"...Yes?"

"I am saying this carriage Escort Deung is riding right now is a carriage of the Ice Palace."

"If it's the Ice Palace... are you talking about the North Sea Ice Palace I know?"

"Yes, that's correct."

Deung Ga-so, who looked at us with unbelievable eyes for a mont, recognized reality and asked us.

"Um... have I been kidnapped?"

He barked up the wrong tree properly.

***

'Geumgang Escort Agency.'

I didn't expect to hear the na of an escort agency I heard in the past here.

A na I can't forget because it's familiar.

An incident that beca such a hot topic that rumors even reached the Demonic Cult.

'The incident where the Divine Thief stole the escort goods requested by the Ten Venerables under the Heavens.'

After that, it is an incident I knew because the Divine Thief defected to the Demonic Cult carrying the escort goods.

I knew the identity of the escort goods that even the escort Deung Ga-so didn't know.

'The Diamond Gauntlet of the Fighting Venerable.'

I don't know why the Diamond Gauntlet was being delivered to Mount Hua.

However, it is certain that it is the Diamond Gauntlet, a divine object used by the Fighting Venerable, who was one of the Ten Venerables under the Heavens.

I saw with my own eyes the Fist Demon of the Demonic Cult wearing that Diamond Gauntlet.

'In other words, it hasn't been long since the Divine Thief stole the Diamond Gauntlet.'

This was practically an opportunity.

First, I told Deung Ga-so what happened at Mount Hua.

Hearing the story, Deung Ga-so perked up his ears.

"Then is the Ice Palace in the sa boat as Mount Hua?"

"Well, you could say so."

"That... is it true that the Ice Palace is trading with the Moyong Clan rchant Guild?"

"If you are talking about the Cold Iron, that is correct."

"If it is alright, could you perhaps use us as well?"

Asking to use an escort agency that had their escort goods snatched like this? One couldn't help but think that imdiately.

"That... even if we look like this, if it's Geumgang Escort Agency, not only Hubei, but many people from other regions also use..."

Perhaps because it showed on my face, Deung Ga-so added.

His voice becos as small as a rat's tail.

It ans he lacks confidence.

"Then may I use it right away?"

"Yes? Do you an right now?"

"Yes, I would appreciate it if you consider it as putting in a request in advance."

At this point, Deung Ga-so beca more curious.

About what kind of request the Ice Palace would put in.

"What request is it?"

"Elder, do you have any paper to write on?"

"Here it is."

Paper ca out from Cheon Deung-jin.

"Ah, thank you."

Scritch scritch scritch-

I, who wrote down a few characters, folded the paper and held it out to Deung Ga-so.

"You just need to deliver this to the Escort Agency Leader."

"Yes?"

"Didn't you say it's an escort goods transport request? By any chance, can you not deliver letters?"

"Ah, it's not that, but."

He is crazy curious.

However, he couldn't ask about the escort goods.

"Thank you for using us."

Deung Ga-so could only say that.

Because delivering the news that he failed the escort goods transport to the Escort Agency Leader was the first priority for now.

"Captain."

When I was talking with Deung Ga-so.

"Hm?"

"I think you should co out and see."

"Why?"

Baek Mu-yong called from outside.

"How should we go from here?"

When I ca out of the carriage.

The Yangtze River filled my view.

***

Yangtze River Waterway Keep.

They are water bandits who use the vast waterways of the Yangtze River as their base.

Among them, the Black Dragon Keep, which controlled the border of Shaanxi and Hubei, was looking for a rchant ship with eyes targeting prey today as well.

"Boss, why did the Chief Boss tell us to check the rchant ships coming into Hubei?"

"Well. Did he perhaps obtain so information?"

"Isn't it that treasures are crossing over to Hubei?"

The Boss of the Black Dragon Keep, Cruel Blade Kang Su-seon, knew well that the harvest when the Chief Boss's order fell was higher than other tis.

"Do you see any rchant ships?"

"Hmm? Boss, look over there. A carriage is visible on the riverbank!"

"A carriage?"

The Black Dragon Keep Boss's eyes flashed.

"Oh, won are also visible!"

The subordinates who checked the faces of the people who got off the carriage and were sightseeing the Yangtze River cheered.

Just in ti, there was no crest on the carriage either.

"They seem to be beauties!"

"Everyone calm down, to them, we will also look like a rchant ship. We are friendly enough."

"Heheh, they will board not knowing this is a dragon's pond and tiger's den, right?"

"Oho, as expected, a learned guy is different. The knowledgeable youngest, try wagging your tongue again!"

"Yes, Boss!"

The water bandits of the Black Dragon Keep began to approach the riverbank with smiles all over their faces.
