Chapter 347
347fury. North Sea Ice Palace (1)
Palace of the North Sea Ice Palace.
In a place where ordinary people couldn't even enter, a woman was raising her voice..
“Palace owner. I haven't decided yet.?”
The high ceiling of the palace vibrated at the sound of a voice filled with solemn power..
Even the warriors who dared to point out the words and actions of the woman who treated the palace lord like a subordinate could only bite their lips in astonishment at her enormous power..
“It's because I'm so indecisive. A religious delegation will arrive soon. You really don't know that it's actually an ultimatum.?”
Inside the palace, most of the experts in the North Sea Ice Palace and elders representing each family were gathered..
However, the woman who raised her voice now had a special presence among them..
A woman wearing a gorgeous red palace attire instead of the thick fur clothes that warriors in the North Sea commonly wear..
Bingbaekmuhu snow training.
As the previous palace lord of the North Sea Ice Palace, he ascended the throne himself after a bloody civil war..
‘I heard you've gotten stronger since the training session closed. Instead of getting older, you've become younger..’
‘Now who can stop that woman?…….’
‘Is the main palace really falling into the hands of the Seol family??’
There were quite a few warriors in the Beihai Ice Palace who were dissatisfied with her, but no one dared to show it outwardly..
Except for a few people whose natural spirit is like a rock..
“Former palace lord, please lower your voice. None of the warriors here are deaf..”
He's taller than most men, with short hair flowing at the nape of his neck..
A silver-haired, blue-eyed woman reminiscent of a northern general..
Eunhwiryeong, the current Lord of the North Sea Ice Palace, sat on the throne and looked down at Seolsuryun and spoke majestically..
However, the corners of Seol Su-ryun's mouth, looking up at her, drew a soft arc. As if it were laughable.
“Even though I'm not deaf, I still can't understand what's being said, so my voice doesn't naturally get louder.?”
“How can you easily decide on something that depends on the fate of the main palace?.”
“If you miss the right time, you will hit the ground and regret it. You should think about how much benefit the doctrine's proposal will bring to us..”
“The previous palace lord speaks as if the main palace is an organization that follows the orders of the blood religion..”
“Since the current palace lord is so prejudiced against me, it doesn't mean that he can't make the right decision.?”
Former palace lord and current palace lord.
The eyes of the two strongest women in the North Sea Ice Palace clashed fiercely in the air. Neither of them backed down an inch..
However, there were not only two people in the palace..
“The Jungwon martial arts world is steeped in peace. You won't dare stop the warriors in the main palace..”
“The church promised us fertile land in the central plains. This is your chance to escape this harsh land..”
“Considering the support I have received from the school so far, it is difficult to ignore the offer.…….”
Those standing behind Seol Su-ryeon put pressure on Eun Hwi-ryeong..
If they were all masters representing one family, the way they clung to the previous palace lord's side and played with their tongues was reminiscent of treacherous betrayers..
‘Who is the palace lord to them?.’
Eunhwiryeong gritted his teeth quietly..
Twenty years have passed since I took over the position of palace lord from the previous palace lord, Seol Su-ryun..
However, Seolsu-ryun did not give up his power..
Even though she did not officially have the title of Grand Empress of the Grand Palace in the Beihai Ice Palace, she was called the Grand Empress of the Grand Palace and ruled like an upper king..
Eunhwiryeong felt that his position was extremely shabby. I felt miserable.
However, she had a strong personality that never broke even if she was broken..
“Invading the Central Plains Wulin is not an easy decision. Since the fate of the North Sea Ice Palace is at stake, we will make this decision as carefully as possible..”
A chill of ice arose from Eunhwiryeong's entire body, silencing those who were talking noisily..
“This is frustrating!”
A chill rose from Seolsu-ryeon’s body. The cold was so powerful that even the experts of the North Sea Ice Palace, who were accustomed to the cold of the North Sea, shook their shoulders..
Blah blah, blah blah-!
The chill caused by Seol Su-ryeon and Eun Hwi-ryeong collided in the middle, freezing the air. Eunhwiryeong’s eyebrows rose fiercely. She jumped up from her seat..
“……Are you planning on starting a rebellion??”
In the North Sea Ice Palace, the authority of the palace lord is absolute..
After the disappearance of Bing Baek-hwan along with the Bingwol Goddess several decades ago, his authority declined significantly, but many families who still followed tradition remained loyal to the palace lord..
Therefore, no matter how much he was the previous palace lord, he could not openly confront the palace lord. If that happens, the North Sea Ice Palace will be engulfed in civil war again. Seolsu-ryun didn’t want that either..
Seol Su-ryeon calmed down and smiled softly..
“A rebellion. The momentum arose without my knowledge due to my frustration, so the palace lord should not react too sensitively..”
“…….”
In the past, such behavior would not have been tolerated and would have been punished, but Eunhwiryeong did nothing more than glare at the person in a scary manner..
That is how great the power of the Xue family is in the current North Sea Ice Palace..
Seolsu-ryun looked around at those gathered in the palace hall..
As if you were the owner of this place.
“Everyone will remember the day thirty-five years ago, when warriors from the central plains attacked the main palace. The palace lord did not lose his younger brother at that time either.?”
Eunhwiryeong nodded heavily..
“I remember. How can I forget?.”
At that time, several of the Sogungju candidates died..
Eunhwiryeong survived the enemy attack with good luck and became the Sogungju, but her younger brother went missing..
‘Hayeonah…….’
I still vividly remember digging through the snow to find my younger brother's body..
“We have lost many brothers. The main palace, which had been weakened by the civil war, was invaded by abominable warriors from the central plains to seize the treasure..”
The day masked people in black attacked the North Sea Ice Palace.
Seol Su-ryeon, the palace lord at the time, led the elite warriors of Bing Palace and repelled all the invaders..
However, the Beihai Ice Palace suffered great damage, and this became an opportunity for hatred towards the Wulin Dynasty in the central plains..
“Since long ago, the central government has treated us as barbarians. Because we live in a barren land, they considered us uncivilized and inferior to themselves..”
Seol Su-ryun's words aroused the anger of the Bingungung warriors. The eyes of those who lost their relatives in the past were red and bloodshot..
“It's time to get some money from them!”
“We need to show the Central Plains how strong the North Sea warriors are.!”
“Lord of the palace! Please make a decision!”
The main sect that follows the Seol training was well over half of the people in Gungjujeon. It was a burdensome number even for the palace lord..
“……Blood religion is a dangerous group..”
Seol Su-ryun chuckled at those words..
“That's just the evaluation of Joongwon Moorim. We have already received religious support for a long time. But they didn't ask us for anything. I didn't ask for conversion, nor did I ask for martial arts or treasures from the North Sea..”
“…….”
it was all true.
Although most of the funds supported by the blood religion went to the Xue family, the blood religion definitely helped the Beihai Bing Palace overcome difficult times..
“Palace owner. This is the first time the school has asked for something. To be with them as allies when they invade the central plains.!”
A story that will shock people in the Middle East if they find out.
As a single force, it was the Beukhae Ice Palace, which was evaluated as being greater than the Gupa Ilbang or the Five Daesae..
They break the long-standing feud and invade the central plains with the blood religion.?
It was no different from saying that two disasters fell on the martial arts world at the same time..
“The religion promised us the land north of the central plains. A land much more fertile and fertile than the North Sea. If we win, we will no longer have to live in this harsh land. Palace owner. make a decision.”
A meeting to make a final decision on whether or not the North Sea Ice Palace will participate in the war..
The Jujeon faction, including former palace owner Seol Su-ryeon, advocated participation in the war, while the current palace owner Eun Hwi-ryeong took a conservative stance..
“Conversely, if defeated, the main palace will lose everything..”
Seol Su-ryeon clicked her tongue at that frustrating answer. It was a conversation that had already been repeated several times..
“If I had known you were this timid, I wouldn't have given you the title of palace lord.…….”
Cooung!
With a heavy advance, the white-haired old man took a step forward. A frost-like energy flowed through his whole body..
“No matter how much I am the former palace lord, I cannot tolerate any further disrespect.!”
Daejangro Hansongbaek.
As the head of the Han family, he was the person with the greatest speaking power here after the two women..
The reason Seol Su-ryeon had no choice but to hand over the position of palace lord to Eun Hwi-ryeong twenty years ago was because the elders of Bing Palace, who valued tradition, centered on Han Song-baek, exerted pressure. At that time, the power of the Xue family was not as great as it is now..
‘A person who is like a thorn in one's eyes.’
Seolhwaryeon glanced at Han Songbaek. But her mouth was still smiling.
“Daejangro. Is my grandson’s chronic illness on the mend??”
“……It's not your concern. This is not a story to be told here..”
A deep sorrow was visible on Han Song-baek's face as he twitched his white eyebrows. Seolhwaryeon did not miss the sight..
‘That old man will fall apart sooner or later..’
He's still stubborn and giving Eunhwiryeong strength, but that won't last long..
Seolga, Eunga, Hanga.
The balance between the three most powerful families in the North Sea had long since collapsed..
Now the power of the Xue family has surpassed that of the Yin family and the Han family combined..
‘They can press it with force at any time, but they are just holding back because they want to preserve the power of the North Sea as much as possible..’
The smile on Seol Su-ryun's mouth as she looked at Eun Hwi-ryeong and Han Song-baek became even deeper..
“This is truly troublesome. If the palace lord and grand elder keep acting like this,…….”
It was time for Seolsu-ryun to put pressure on them again..
“Lord Taesanggung!”
An urgent voice was heard outside the palace, looking for Seolsu-ryeon. Her pretty Ami frowned..
After a while, the door to the palace was opened and the servant of the Seol family came in and knelt down..
“What's going on during the meeting??”
“sorry. I think you should come out and see it for a moment..”
“Can't you see in your eyes what kind of seat this is??”
“that is…….”
Eunhwiryeong warned in a stern voice to the Seolga warrior who was trying to send a message by licking his lips..
“In the palace hall, and especially in front of the palace lord, they exchange the whole message... … . Can I take this as an insult to me??”
Hearing Eun Hwi-ryeong’s cold voice, the Seol family warrior’s face turned pale. Seol Su-ryun said with an annoyed expression..
“It's okay, tell me..”
“A man named Seolryonghwi came to see Lord Taesanggung..”
“……who?”
Seol Su-ryeon tilted her head at the name she heard for the first time..
However, her expression hardened at the following explanation..
“He says he is Seol Shin-woo’s son. It seems to us that the bloodline of the main palace matches..”
“Seol Shin-woo…….”
Seol Su-ryeon remembered her nephew who ran away from the family a long time ago..
The day he lost the successor competition, he was a pathetic and stupid guy who chose to run away at night..
‘That child's son came to visit me? Now come?’
It was embarrassing, but not important enough to stop the meeting..
“First, take him to his family home and tell him to wait. I will check it myself after the meeting is over.…….”
“Well, that’s… … . Now there is an argument with Lord Sogung..”
“It's snowing, that stupid guy!”
For a moment, Seol Su-ryeon showed her will and screamed..
The monk of the Xue family trembled and spoke..
“It seems that when a commotion broke out outside the castle walls, Lord Sogung decided to check it out himself. In the process, an argument arose.…….”
“ha. How long has it been since you had an accident and were placed on probation?…….”
Sogungju Seolmugeol.
As a late exponent of the Seol family, he was famous for his outstanding martial arts talent but his temperament as a martial arts person..
‘The person who claims to be Shinwoo's son could have been seriously injured..’
It was not clear whether he was the nephew's son. Seol Su-ryeon was not a very innocent woman..
However, the conduct of Lord Sogong was an important issue..
Even so, there was a lot of talk about Sogungju’s behavior. Even in her eyes, Seol Mu-geol had an overly free-spirited and arrogant streak..
“……I get it.”
Seol Su-ryun sighed and looked back at Eun Hwi-ryeong and said..
“Palace owner. We'll talk about this again soon..”
Seol Su-ryeon turned around and left the palace hall. Although he did not receive permission from the palace lord, no one could point out his attitude..
“Lord of the palace. Let’s go out too..”
“yes.”
Eunhwiryeong also came out with Han Songbaek..
As the rumor had already spread, many Beihai warriors had already gathered on the castle walls to look outside..
“How can you do that?……!”
“We're not looking at nothing?”
It was a commotion rarely seen in the North Sea Ice Palace. The murmuring voices of the warriors were full of bewilderment. Eunhwiryeong kicked off the ground and jumped high..
whirring!
She quickly got over the crowd and landed on the highest spire of the Ice Palace..
And I saw an unbelievable sight..
“What is this…….”
What she saw was the Beihai Ice Palace’s Sogungju being unilaterally beaten..
