Chapter 352
352fury. my purpose is
I killed Ma Jung-cheon..
‘I can't take the risk of leaving alive the person who saw the Reverse Heavenly Art..’
He was the leader of Bimagak, who was in frequent contact with the main branch of the Blood Cult. It is impossible to deceive for a long time anyway. It was best to kill him after getting the necessary information..
Baeksu-ryong completely incinerated Ma Jung-cheon's body and returned to Seoljia. The faces he had become familiar with in the past few days seemed to know him as if they were happy to see him..
However, Seolryonghui's eyes as he looked at the warriors of the Seol family were colder than before..
‘There isn't much time. Let's go quickly.’
In three days at the most, Seolsu-ryun will realize that Ma Jung-cheon is gone. Before that, you need to meet the palace lord, inform him of the truth, and persuade him to sing a sermon..
[But why did you come back to Seolga? Didn't you say you were going to meet the palace lord??]
‘There's no way I'll meet you if I just go looking for you. I'm sure Seolsu-ryun will think it's strange too..’
Baek Soo-ryong knew that the people Seol Su-ryun attached were watching him the whole time he was in the Seol family..
When meeting Ma Jung-cheon, he was ostracized in advance, but even that fact would have been reported to Seol Su-ryun..
‘Seol Su-ryun must have heard that I was away to avoid surveillance. I don't know if I met Ma Jung-cheon..’
Likewise, if you visit the North Sea Ice Palace Lord, the fact will be reported to Seol Su-ryeon within a moment..
Perhaps even the entire conversation that took place on that occasion will be relayed..
‘There's no way they wouldn't have put someone next to the palace lord..’
This is quite possible with Seolsu-ryeon’s power in the North Sea. It was impossible to meet the palace lord without her knowing..
[If so, how can I contact the palace lord??]
The road leading to Seolsu-ryeon’s room. Baek Soo-ryong lightly tapped the blade of the Changryong God Sword as he walked..
‘I know it when I see it.’
The guards of the Seol family guarding the front door of the room stopped Seolryonghwi..
“stop.”
“Confucius. what's going on.”
There was no wariness on their faces. However, it was so late that I felt embarrassed..
‘Those who have learned magic.’
Those who guard Seolsu-ryeon have learned magic arts.?
How should I interpret this?.
Baeksu- ryong swallowed his boiling anger and took the gun with an indifferent expression. Even simple movements exuded elegance..
“Please tell your great-aunt that Seolryonghwi has come to visit..”
No matter how much Seolryonghwi inherited from the Seol family, it was rude to carelessly visit the family's highest eldest at night..
However, he came to Seolsuryun without any hesitation..
And as expected, Seol Su-ryeon allowed Seol Ryong-hwi to visit as if he had been waiting for it..
“Please come in.”
When I went inside, I saw a gorgeous interior..
Seolryonghui's room was fancy enough, but it was nothing compared to this place..
There was nothing in the room that looked precious, and it was filled with jewels to the point of extravagance..
I haven't seen the Beihai Ice Palace's palace hall yet, but it was clear that it wouldn't be as extravagant as this one..
“I meet my great-aunt and grandmother..”
Seolsu-ryeon was half-lying on a wide, soft bed. The only thing on my body was a thin silk robe..
Even though she was the adult of the family, it wasn't something she would do in front of a grown man, but she didn't seem to mind much..
“You came just as I was about to go to bed, so don't blame my attire..”
“If I came to see you too late, I will come back tomorrow..”
“no. I'm bored at the moment, so I'd like to chat with you..”
Seol Su-ryeon asked Gombangdae..
Whoop-. White smoke swirled around her like a fog..
“I hear your story everywhere these days. It's all just praise.”
“Fortunately, it seems like the elders of the family viewed it favorably..”
“It seems like the younger members of the family like you more.?”
“Young people are always interested in new things..”
Seol Soo-ryun's smile deepened at the calm yet sly answer..
“If anyone heard it, they would think you were around seventy. I'm so confused that I'm talking to someone my age..”
The teacup on the table floated and flew towards Seolryonghwi..
The state of skillful empty space.
Seolryonghui quietly accepted the teacup. After taking a sip of tea, I opened my mouth..
“It seems like everyone is very interested in the competition between me and Mugeolyi to succeed him. I saw my great-aunt's attention..”
“I noticed?”
“Regardless of my ability, my great-aunt's choice is the most important..”
What no one dares to say to Seol Su-ryeon.
However, Seolryonghui did not blink an eye and looked straight at Seolsuryeon and said,.
Seolsu-ryeon found that fact very interesting..
‘Is it because I still don't know my place in the North Sea, or is it because I have the noble temperament of a dragon by nature?.’
Even the grandson's somewhat arrogant appearance seemed to Seol Su-ryun as the spirit of a young man..
Seolryonghui was clearly the ideal successor she thought of..
It fits so perfectly that it's suspicious..
A strange smile appeared on Seol Su-ryun’s lips..
“Your words and actions are bold and arrogant. But at the same time, I'm glad. A man must have that level of ambition..”
It's not that I lack ability..
Seol Su-ryun thought so and drank the warm liquor. It was one of the greatest luxuries she could enjoy in the North Sea, but for her it was just everyday life..
“So, did you come to me at this time to ask me to order you a oxbow drink??”
“I have one favor to ask of you..”
“Please…….”
For a moment, Seolsu-ryeon’s eyes narrowed..
Because I didn’t know the words “please” would come out of that mouth..
‘I guess they really didn't come in droves to ask for the position of lord of the oxbow.?’
If even a word with a similar meaning were to come out, Seolryonghwi would be very disappointed..
“Try it.”
However, Seolryonghui's request was something she had never thought of..
“I would like to meet the palace lord..”
“……Silver command?”
For the first time, Seol Su-ryun’s brows wrinkled..
The two had not been on good terms since the time when Eun Hwi-ryeong was the lord of the palace..
I had no choice but to admit it because he was the owner of the small palace chosen according to the tradition of the North Sea Ice Palace, but it was because he was not the successor that Seol Su-ryeon wanted..
‘Even if the children of the main family had followed Eunhwiryeong's qualities even half of the time, the main family would have become the masters of the North Sea by now..’
Overwhelming talent that leaves no room for disagreement.
At that time, all the children of the Seol family who received support from Seol Su-ryun lost their light in front of Eun Hwi-ryeong..
Since handing over the position of palace lord twenty years ago, Eunhwiryeong has been nothing but an obstacle that interferes with Seolsu-ryeon's will at every turn. Even with only a handful of forces now..
‘That girl reminds me of Eun Yerin. Excellent talent and cocky personality. Pretending to be noble with only a handful of power is also difficult..’
Even though they don't look that much alike, Eun Hwi-ryeong resembles Eun Ye-rin..
Is it because I can feel the unique nobility of the Eun family? So, Seol Su-ryeon has not liked Eunga since long ago..
However, Seolryonghwi was saying that he wanted to meet the palace lord. I didn't understand very well.
“Why do you want to meet Eunhwiryeong??”
“As a warrior in the North Sea, shouldn't I pay my respects to the palace lord? I think it's already quite late.”
“I know that's not your purpose.”
For the first time, Seol Su-ryun's voice was cold. The surrounding temperature seemed to drop in an instant..
Damn it…….
Frost formed on the tea. Seolryonghui put down the teacup he was holding on the table and said..
“I'm thinking of asking the palace lord what he thinks of the current lord of the palace. I would like to show you in person whether you are willing to change if there is a better candidate..”
Seol Soo-ryun’s face was strangely distorted..
A subtle expression that is neither smiling nor angry..
“You will persuade Eunhwiryeong... … . Did you mean this??”
“yes.”
Seol Soo-ryeon could no longer hold back her laughter as she watched Jong-son showing his ambition with a calm expression..
“Ahahahaha!”
He raised his head high and let out a loud laugh, causing the furniture in the room to shake as if an earthquake had occurred..
After a while, Seol Su-ryeon finally stopped laughing and said,.
“It's like you've planned something today to avoid my eyes.?”
“…….”
“Hmm. That's right. I guessed it half way and stabbed it..”
snow training.
As expected, she was a formidable woman..
Baek Soo-ryong did not bother to hide his embarrassment. He said in a calm voice.
“……I thought you might know.”
“Don't ask me what your plan is. Since your efforts are insignificant, you should pretend not to notice that much..”
“…….”
Seol Su-ryeon, who saw Seol Ryong-hui's cracked expression, smiled like a winner..
“It's really fun. This means that we will expand our influence in the North Sea. Do you think you can become a oxbow lord on your own without my choice??”
“I'm just doing my best.”
Seol Su-ryun got up from the bed. She glided closer and stroked Seolryonghwi's cheek with her fingertips..
Whoop-. The smoke coming out of the gombangdae colored the space between the two people hazy..
“The more I look at it, the more it reminds me of my childhood..”
“……Compared to my great-aunt, I am still far behind..”
“It would be difficult if you tried to compare yourself to me already. You can't make the blood of your family static, right??”
He smiled strangely, and an eerie, cool energy wave swept over his skin. The fur on my whole body stood up..
‘This woman. Your natural nature is Sapaho..’
It wasn't for nothing that we joined hands with the blood religion..
If he had been born in a blood religion, he would definitely have become a great madou..
Even now, it doesn't seem much different from that..
“It's good to be bold, but keep one thing in mind. No matter where you go in the North Sea, you can't avoid my eyes..”
“……I'll keep that in mind.”
A warning to know that no matter how much you run amok, it's ultimately in the palm of your hand..
But in other words, it was also a story that you can run as wild as you want in the palm of your hand..
Seol Su-ryeon smiled happily and said,.
“Let me make a place for you. Try to persuade Eunhwiryeong with your abilities. If you can really do something like that…….”
A dangerous-looking smile appeared on Seol Su-ryun's mouth..
“The tradition of the North Sea Ice Palace may be broken once again..”
“……thank you.”
“I'm tired. I'll message you again tomorrow, so take your leave for today..”
Seolryonghui, who took the gun, slowly retreated backwards..
However, the moment he turned around as he left the Seol Su-ryun room, a cool smile appeared on the corner of his straight-faced lips..
‘You may think I'm in the palm of your hand now, but soon that palm will be torn apart..’
The next day, Baeksu-ryong was able to meet the lord of the North Sea Ice Palace..
* * *
Palace of the North Sea Ice Palace.
Although it feels old and dated compared to Seolsu-ryun's room, the atmosphere was so solemn that it made you feel like your shoulders were shaking, and it was fitting for the most noble person in the North Sea..
Eunhwiryeong, sitting on the throne, looked down with stern eyes..
“Seol Shin-woo's son, Seol Ryong-hwi, meets the master of the North Sea..”
A young man kneeling on one knee as per the etiquette of the North Sea Ice Palace..
I have heard the latest rumors..
I had even seen him crushing Xue Wujie with my own eyes, so I already knew that his martial arts skills were extraordinary..
“He wanted to meet me?”
Han Songbaek was also sitting next to her..
Seolryonghui raised his head and saw the two people..
But isn't the impression quite different from what I heard??
The sight of the man laughing strangely was even cheeky..
“It's a good thing you two are together now..”
“It went well?”
“I also wanted to meet Elder Han Songbaek. I have something to discuss with you two..”
Han Songbaek twitched his white eyebrows at the strangely shameless tone of voice..
“It's a discussion. Say something..”
“Would you please take a bite around??”
Inside the palace, there were guards guarding the palace..
It wasn't strange if there were people with Seolsu-ryun in it, so he asked for them all to be inherited..
“cheeky! You're so arrogant that someone might think you're from the Xue family.!”
Grand Elder Han Songbaek responded to Seolryonghui’s request..
Eunhwiryeong stopped him from revealing even his subtle ways of life..
“Let me give it a listen. keep everyone out.”
The guards retreated at the palace lord's order..
Some people looked embarrassed for a moment, and Baek Su-ryong memorized all of their faces..
“What is your purpose? The former palace lord persuaded me to join hands with the blood religion? Or are you saying assassinate me??”
Sssssssssssssssssssssssshhhh-
A terrifying coldness flowed from Eunhwiryeong’s body. A frost-like majesty emanated from her body as if she had made a plan..
“Tell me. If your goal is to insult me, you will not be able to leave here safely, no matter how much you are favored by the previous palace lord..”
The force generated by her body weighed down the space. Pure white frost formed on Seolryonghwi’s clothes..
‘The palace lord's martial prowess exceeds expectations..’
The North Sea Ice Palace has long been compared to Gupailbang in the central plains..
In other words, the palace lord's martial arts skills should be seen as being at the level of a master of the nine factions..
However, a smile appeared on Seolryonghwi's face as he took the brunt of that momentum..
“I need to clear up the misunderstanding first..”
Seolryonghui slowly rolled up his sleeves in front of the two people..
“what did you do…….”
The eyes of Eun Hwi-ryeong and Han Song-baek, who were quietly watching the scene, slowly opened..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
A pair of bracelets vibrating on both of Seolryonghui’s wrists..
How could they not recognize the sacred objects of the Beihai Ice Palace?.
“Bingbaekhwan!”
“how to do it……!”
The two people looked at Bingbaekhuan with mesmerized expressions..
Is this a new thing from the North Sea that disappeared 60 years ago suddenly appearing like this?.
Seolryonghui stood up and said.
“Did you ask what my purpose was??”
The corners of the eyes, which had been raised sharply, went down, and the corners of the mouth, which had been straight, rose slightly. That alone changed my impression greatly..
Baek Su-ryong looked straight at Master Eun-sabu’s descendants and said..
“My goal is to kill Seolsu-ryun and return the North Sea Ice Palace to its original state..”
