Chapter 242
##242fury. Benefactor of the Namgung family
A firestorm erupted in the Namgung family.!
A fire burned down half of the palace overnight, and an unknown force attacked the Namgung family in the night, causing damage that was close to extinction.!
When the rumor first started to spread, even the wealthy people who talked about it did not want to believe it if it was someone else's story..
“what? Namgung family?”
“This is the most absurd rumor I've heard recently..”
“Tsk tsk. Even if you're bluffing, you should do it in moderation.…….”
The Namgung family is renowned as the best family in the world..
In the current martial arts world, the only forces comparable to the Namgung family were the historic Shaolin, Shaman, and Hwasan..
However, the Namgung family was almost destroyed by mysterious forces overnight.?
It was a story that would make even the snoring dogs who went to the local military officer snort..
however…….
“Ah, well. I heard the Namgung family closed the gate? I've been doing business with the Namgung family for 20 years, and this is the first time something like this has happened.!”
“……Is it true??”
“That's not all. I looked at it from a distance and there were signs that the actual pavilion had been burned and destroyed..”
“Well, I guess the fire was real..”
Testimonies from merchants passing through Namgung House and nearby residents began to fan the ominous rumors..
“It's frustrating! It doesn't seem like I'm dissatisfied, so it's a problem.!”
“Hey, watch your mouth. In Anhui Province, he carelessly mentioned the name of the Nangong family, and later tried to strike the king.…….”
“I mean it smelled like blood..”
“what?”
The merchant who started the story looked around and lowered his voice..
“It is said that the smell of blood could be felt from ten miles away... … . There must be something wrong with me.”
“Gulp…….”
It was instantaneous for the rumor to grow in size..
The Namgung family was a huge force that had influence beyond Anhui Province and throughout the entire martial arts world..
There were more than dozens of merchants who came and went to Namgung House every day, and hundreds if you include the warriors and workers..
The fact that there was a problem with the Namgung family was not something that could be hidden even if one wanted to..
Before a day had passed, more serious rumors began to spread one by one..
It is said that all the lawmakers from Anhui Province were summoned to the Nangong family..
According to what the lawmakers said, half of the warriors in the Namgung family were dead or injured, and the remaining half were also crazy..
The iron blood sword Namgungcheon Daehyeop was attacked and lost an eye, and the Changcheon Sword King went into seclusion due to serious internal injuries.…….
Pleural effusion may be related to blood clots…….
food deukdeuk!
food deukdeuk!
Hundreds of warblers flew into the sky.
Ga Gye and Hao Wen moved quickly..
The trouble that occurred in the Namgung family was completely unexpected even by the powers with the world's best intelligence network..
This fact was soon conveyed to the Murim Alliance as well..
“The Namgung family was attacked? What does this mean?!”
Kwaang!
A table made of ebony wood was split in one blow..
After hearing the urgent news, the Murim lord could not control his anger and broke the table. In his hand, which was as big as a pot lid, he held a torn report..
The Murim Lord's voice dripped with murder as he read certain parts of the torn report..
“Those religious bastards are evil beasts.…….”
King Gwon (拳王) Yayulhwang.
As a member of the Ten Zones of Murim, he was a man who considered it his destiny to eradicate the remaining forces of the blood religion..
“Send an investigation team immediately. No, I'm going right now.!”
A woman who was quite small compared to him blocked the giant King Kwon's path as he was about to leave his office..
“Calm down, Lord. It has not yet been revealed as the work of a blood cult..”
“Who would commit such a thing if not a blood religion?!”
“We have already dispatched an investigation team. The Whirlwind Sword should have arrived at Nangong Family House by now. If the leader moves like this, confusion will only increase..”
“Okay!”
King Quan, whose clenched fists were shaking, finally sat down after being dissuaded by Zhuge Sozhen, the general of the military..
King Namgung of the blood religion attacks.
If true, it was a major incident that put the entire Murim Alliance on alert..
“Those religious bastards who have been hiding like rats are revealing themselves again..”
Grumbling.
King Gwon gritted his teeth and muttered..
Fifty years ago, he lost both his teacher and his brother-in-law in the war against the Blood Cult..
The war was eventually won, but all that was left for the man was his resentment and desire for revenge against his clan..
Yayulwang was a man who became a king based on such emotions and rose to the position of the Murim lord..
King Quan, who intuitively judged that this was the work of a blood cult, reprimanded Zhuge Sozhen..
“Total military. Weren't you keeping track of their movements? Why did I miss this kind of movement??”
“sorry.”
I could have made dozens of excuses..
However, Zhuge Shaojin, the commander-in-chief, quietly lowered his head..
King Kwon, who glared at her for a moment, eventually sighed..
“What can I do by telling you more about the past? It is important to respond in the future.”
“yes.”
“They're back in power, so we have to get ready..”
“If you say ready…….”
King Kwon’s eyes shone like a beast. It looked like he had been waiting for this moment.
“We have to prepare for war.”
“…….”
In the martial arts world that had been peaceful for a long time, winds of upheaval began to blow..
* * *
One hundred elite warriors of the Murim League sprinted with open arms..
They were warriors dispatched from the Anhui branch of the Murim Alliance, which was closest to the Namgung family..
“Hurry up!”
The man leading them from the front was a person named Zenfenggeom, and he was a mature and peak expert..
Even as he put everything aside and rushed to the Nangung family, Xuanfenggeom had a question..
‘Attacking the Namgung family? What kind of people are?’
It's Namgungse, not any other place..
A family that enjoys tremendous power and is known by everyone as being the best in the world..
Xuanfenggeom was a native of Anhui Province and knew the power of the Nangong family better than anyone else..
That's why I couldn't believe that the Namgung family was attacked..
‘Is it really a blood religion? No, even if it is a blood religion…….’
The fight would have ended with an overwhelming victory for the Namgung family..
However, after a while, when the appearance of the Nangung family began to appear, the Whirlwind Sword had no choice but to change its mind..
“This can't be happening…….”
Buildings burned and destroyed.
The closer I got, the more I saw traces of a fierce battle..
Although most of it had been washed away by the overnight rain, the fishy scent of blood still lingered here and there..
“oh my god…….”
“What happened all night…….”
“Is this really the Namgung family??”
The members who followed all looked surprised..
At that time, one of the members shouted with a face as if he had seen a ghost..
“Yes, Sani!”
Behind the devastated Namgungse, the completely ruined Cheonju Mountain could be seen..
“Did a landslide occur??”
Although he was also a master of the Whirlwind Sword who had reached his peak, he could not even imagine that such a scene could have been created by human power..
In any case, it was clear that something major had happened to the Namgung family..
“Everyone, take heart.!”
“honorary name!”
There was tension on the faces of the Murim members at the warning of the Whirlwind Sword..
As a hundred warriors approached, there was a reaction from the Namgung family as well..
“Who are you?!”
About a hundred warriors poured out from Namgung House and the examination was completed in an instant..
Chaechaejang!
Everyone looks full of life.
Seonpunggeom shouted after confirming that they were the warriors of the Namgung family..
“We are not enemies! These are the troops of the Murim Alliance who came to help the Namgung family.!”
Fortunately, there was someone on the side of the Namgung family who recognized the Zen Wind Sword..
One of the elders of the Namgung family came out with a haggard face..
“You must have been a member of the Whirlwind Sword Grand Association..”
“Are we too late? As soon as I heard the news, I came running.…….”
“……Please go inside first. I will leave a message for you right away..”
Seonpunggeom and the members of the Murim Alliance followed the elder and headed inside..
The inside of Namgungse was more miserable than what it looked like from the outside..
The smell of blood and medicine was everywhere, and the sounds of the wounded moaning and sobbing over the loss of their families were constant..
‘Is this really the Namgung family??’
The elder of the Nangung family spoke to the whirlwind sword that followed with a shocked face..
“Please wait in the annex for a moment. Please understand that it may be difficult to properly welcome guests..”
“What on earth happened??”
“……It would be better for you to hear it directly from the matriarch rather than from me..”
Fortunately, it didn't take too long, and the Whirlwind Sword was able to meet the Iron Blood Sword Nangong Cheon..
“The Great Whirlwind Sword. It's been a while.”
“Lord of the house…….”
Whirlwind Sword was momentarily speechless due to shock..
He realized what the bandage on one of Namgung-cheon's eyes meant..
‘The head of the Namgung family lost one eye. How fierce was the fight?…….’
It wasn't just that.
The haggard face like a corpse and the shadows under the eyes suggested that Nam Gung-cheon's internal injuries were much more serious than expected..
Nangong Cheon smiled bitterly and said,.
“I wasn't able to serve the guest a cup of tea because I was in a hurry. I'm sorry.”
“You are welcome. If there is anything we can help with, please let us know without hesitation..”
“Thank you just for your words..”
Without wasting time, Whirlwind Sword got straight to the point..
“The head of the family. Can you tell me what happened last night? Was the pleural effusion revealed??”
Namgungcheon paused for a moment and answered with difficulty..
“……Last night, we were attacked by a blood cult..”
“Blood religion! Are you saying the rumors were true?!”
Whirlwind Sword forgot his manners in front of Namgung Sega and jumped up from his seat..
Blood religion?!
Did the evil cult that was destroyed by the Murim Alliance attack fifty years ago really reappear?!
This was a major incident that shook the martial arts world..
Whirlwind Sword checked once more..
“Was the enemy really a blood religion??”
“The Black Yama Emperor, the Surama Sword, has led a group of blood cultists to attack the main house..”
“Those big demons were the leaders of a blood religion... … . Could you please tell me in more detail??”
Namgungcheon nodded and in a calm voice began to explain what happened to the Namgung family last night..
Most of the time, he told the truth, but he kept quiet about the Namgung family's warriors who suddenly turned into devils and went on a rampage..
‘You can't hide it forever, but not right now..’
After Manma Meng Honjin disappeared, they all came back to their senses..
But they were shocked when they realized what they had done. Some of them even committed suicide..
As the head of the family, Namgung-cheon could not allow the Murim Alliance to disrupt his family in the name of investigation..
The Namgung family needed time to heal their wounds..
And the other story alone was enough to scare the man from the Murim Alliance..
“……The Sword King of Changcheon passed away due to injuries suffered by the Black Yama Emperor..”
“!!”
There are times when I'm so surprised that I can't speak at all..
That was the current state of the Whirlwind Sword. After holding his breath for a moment, he barely asked back..
“……Is it true??”
“Look like I'm the kind of person who would mention my father's death for fun.?”
Looking at Nangong Tian's cold eyes, Xuan Feng Jian broke into a cold sweat and made an excuse..
“Sorry, sorry. That's not what I meant. So what happened to the Black Yamaje? Could it be that he uses Dongguijin’s methods?…….”
“He ran away..”
“…….”
Whirlwind Sword's complexion turned pale..
The Sword King of Changcheon died and the Black Mountain Emperor escaped alive..
It was an incident that would cast doubt on the authority of the Ten Lords of the Murim, which had been believed to be absolute..
Not only that.
Blood religion reappeared, and its power was strong enough to drive the Namgung family to the brink of extinction..
Although it is only an attack by the Namgung family now, the factions and masters of the Sa faction who have been holding their breath for decades may appear one by one..
‘Moorim will undergo a cataclysmic change..’
Whirlwind Sword became dizzy just imagining the chaos that would occur in the future..
At the same time, I had a few questions.
Although he was a reinforcement troop sent by the Murim Alliance, he was also tasked with investigating this incident in detail..
“I would like to ask you a few more questions. As I came, I noticed that there weren't many corpses that looked like blood cultists.…….”
At that moment, Nam Gong-cheon clearly drew a line..
“That's all I can tell you.”
“Lord of the house…….”
“Thank you for coming all the way to help my family. But as you can see, my family cannot afford to accommodate guests..”
I told you everything I wanted to say, so I asked you to leave now..
“Well, I'm sorry, but…….”
Seonpunggeom asked if the Murim Alliance could independently investigate what happened in the Namgung family..
This time, Nam Gong-cheon shook his head..
“It's impossible. The main house will be closed to outsiders for a while. I'm sorry, but please leave now..”
It was a clear congratulatory message..
Xuanfengjian looked troubled, but Nangongtian's attitude was firm..
In the end, the Whirlwind Sword sighed and took a step back..
“All right.”
Prince Namgung, who had suffered a great misfortune, could not wander around without permission..
Although it was said to have suffered great damage from an attack by a blood cult, this was still the Namgung family..
“We will be waiting nearby, so if you need help from the Murim Alliance, please call us at any time..”
“Thank you from my heart.”
Just confirming that the blood religion was involved in this matter made the Whirlwind Sword's shoulders heavy..
‘There must be a lot to write in the report..’
Whirlwind Sword got up from his seat and took the gun..
“Then I'll just leave..”
The moment Xuan Feng Jian turned around and was about to leave, Nangong Tian called him from behind..
“one more thing.”
Whirlwind Sword turned around again and asked with a puzzled expression..
“Anything more to say……?”
“I would like to tell you about the benefactor of the Namgung family..”
“A benefactor?”
Nam Gung-cheon nodded and remembered a man..
The benefactor who handed Namgungsu the magic spirit spirit, defeated the elder of the blood religion, and helped the blood relatives who had become demons to come back to their senses by lifting the Manma Dream Soul Jin..
……He is also the person who took off his father's mask and revealed the ugly truth hidden in the Namgung family..
At first, I resented him, wishing I didn't know anything, but now I just felt grateful..
“Without his help, it would have been difficult for the original family to avoid extinction..”
“yes?!”
The startled Whirlwind Sword widened its eyes..
He was the benefactor who saved the Namgung family from extinction.?
Was someone among the Ten Zones of Murim staying at the Namgung family??
However, the star name that came out of Nangong Cheon's mouth was something that the Whirlwind Sword could not have imagined..
“Cheongryong Credit Union.”
“yes? Who is it?”
“Baek Soo-ryong, the new instructor at Cheongryong Academic Center..”
While the Whirlwind Sword is still tilting its head, wondering if it was wrong.
Iron Blood Sword Nam Gung-cheon spoke with a solemn expression as if making a declaration..
“The entire Namgung family received the saving grace of Cheongryong Credit Union..”
“!!”
It was the moment when the reputation of Cheongryong Credit Union resounded throughout the world through the words of Namgung Segaju..
