Chapter 406
406fury. To the future of Cheongryong Academic Center
A tense standoff ensued in an increasingly hostile atmosphere..
“Are you really saying you won’t step aside?!”
“Not possible.”
Kang So-cheon, as the head of the Gangseo branch of the Murim Alliance, wanted to go into the Cheongryong Hall to check the situation inside, and Baek Mu-heun had absolutely no intention of letting him in..
In addition, Baeksu-ryong's close friends, open swords, Gaengsaengmun, and even Gwan joined in and blocked the front gate, with more than a dozen people blocking the warriors of the Murim Alliance..
“……A final warning. If you don't get out of the way, I won't end it with words anymore..”
Kang So-cheon warned in a low, firm voice..
At first, it was just a scuffle, but Kang So-cheon began to have doubts as they desperately tried to stop him..
‘What are you trying to hide??’
No matter how strong the reputation of the Blue Dragon Credit Union was, it was difficult to understand that they would block the person in charge of the Murim League branch..
‘You're not even yourself, but an agent.?’
It is absolutely impossible to meekly retreat like this..
Kang So-cheon gave orders to his subordinates with a stern expression..
“This was enough for me to endure it. Bring out all those who challenge the authority of the Murim Alliance. I will personally meet with Blue Dragon Credit Union and ask about this matter.!”
““yes!””
More than half of the warriors blocking the main gate were people who had just come to their senses after being struck by the magic of a thousand years. If a fight broke out, the outcome was obvious..
But none of them stepped aside. He opened his eyes fiercely and moved his trembling limbs, showing his determination to engage in a fierce battle with the approaching warriors of the Murim Alliance..
“Interest until the end……!”
Kang So-cheon exploded with an angry expression..
In the end, the moment when the drones of both sides are about to collide.
“Can this old man say a few words??”
Noh Gun-sang, who had remained silent and had not intervened in this situation until now, walked out with a heavy expression..
Cheongryonghakkwanju.
It is no exaggeration to say that he has a stronger say than anyone else in this position..
However, when Noh Gun-sang, who had been quietly observing the situation for some reason, stepped forward, the Cheongryong Academy instructors breathed a sigh of relief..
However, Baek Mu-heun was looking at Noh with an anxious expression..
‘It's a big deal. Considering the manager's reaction earlier,…….’
There was no doubt that Noh Gun-sang had doubts in his mind right now..
The moment the energy in the form of a red dragon soared into the sky inside the Blue Dragon Hall, I felt fear that I could not hide from Noh Gun-sang..
-Well, that energy is his... … ! why here……!
Baek Mu-heun clearly heard what Noh Gun-sang was muttering. Therefore, I could guess that he was now in great confusion and suspicion..
‘If you notice that it is the energy of Reverse Heavenly Art,…….’
Rather, he could have sided with the Murim Alliance and told them to open the main gate right away..
To confirm the reality of the energy felt within me..
Is it just the Nogun statue?.
Although there may be differences in degree, doubts will be rising in many people’s minds..
Kuuk…….
As Baek Mu-heun tightly closed the hilt of his sword, Lu Gun-sang opened his mouth..
“……I will take full responsibility for today, so can you just leave??”
Baek Mu-heun's hands relaxed, and the expressions of the instructors watching behind him brightened..
However, Kang So-cheon looked at his senior from Moorim with a disappointed expression..
“Are you saying that what you are saying is the same as them? I don't know what the Blue Dragon Credit Union is thinking, but they will never ignore this matter.…….”
“I ordered it.”
The eyes of everyone listening, including Kang So-cheon, widened..
“……yes?”
“I said I did it..”
“What are you saying all of a sudden?!”
Noh's shaking eyes had suddenly changed to resolute..
“I instructed Master Baek Soo-ryong to torture Cheon-sal, obtain information about the blood religion, and then kill him as cruelly as possible..”
“……What a ridiculous lie…….”
“It's not a lie.”
Noh Gun-sang looked around at the people looking at him with a shocked face..
“A thousand years old is an enemy who killed my close friend in the past. When I heard that he appeared here, I decided that I would kill him..”
At Noh Gunsang's sudden confession, everyone lowered their weapons and looked at him with blank expressions..
“But I wasn't strong enough to take revenge with my own hands. Therefore, I instructed Master Baek Soo-ryong to interrogate him as harshly as possible and then kill him. That's why I can't open the door.”
“…….”
Everyone was speechless and couldn't say anything..
‘This doesn't make sense.’
‘Why do such a thing?’
‘No way, the governor…….’
All sorts of words were lingering in my mouth, but before they could come out, Noh Gun-sang spoke quickly..
“I know. As a member of a political faction, this is something you shouldn’t do. No matter how blinded he was by revenge, he would commission a murder not with his own hands but with someone else's hands. What is different from Salsu, whom I have hated so much... … I don't know either.”
The expression on Noh Gun-sang's face when he confessed his mistake was so bitter and serious that I thought it was a lie..
In fact, some of the warriors had a look of disappointment on their faces..
“Senior! What are you talking about??”
Kang So-cheon shouted with a distorted expression..
Thousand-armed Avalokitesvara was a martial arts saint respected by many..
He couldn't understand why he supported the Blue Dragon Credit Union even while putting his own reputation in the mud..
“I'm just telling the truth.”
After saying that, Noh Gun-sang looked at the instructors at Cheongryong Academy..
He must have finally come to his senses amidst the commotion, and Mae Geukryeom and Namgungsu were also looking at him with stern expressions..
Noh Gun-sang smiled at them..
It was a smile that meant please don't intervene..
“How can a person like this be qualified to be the head of a government? At the end of this year, I will step down from my position as head of the Blue Dragon School. We need time to find a suitable successor and handover, so please be patient with this old man for a few more months..”
“……!!”
The instructors widened their eyes in surprise. The same was true for other people who were listening to Noh Gun-sang’s words..
“Lord!”
“What are you talking about?!”
“No! So suddenly……!”
Noh raised his hand to silence the instructors..
“You've already made up your mind, so don't say anything..”
After speaking firmly, Lu Jun-sang turned to Kang So-cheon again..
“Despite my shame, I will ask you once more. Please leave for today..”
“…….”
Whether that's true or not.
The great senior of the martial arts group was asking for a favor even at the cost of damaging his own reputation..
Putting more pressure on Kang So-cheon was a huge burden..
at last.
“……All right. I'll go back like this today. However, please tell Blue Dragon Credit Union to come find me..”
“Thank you.”
Kang So-cheon and the martial arts people he led left, and the beggars of open space also took notice and left..
After Cheoldu and Cheongcheon returned with Gaengsaengmun and Gwan's troops, only the instructors remained around Noh Gunsang..
Only then did everyone spit out their accumulated words..
“Lord!”
“Why lie like that…….”
“You didn't have to do that.!”
None of the instructors believed what Roh said..
Everyone knew that he was just biding his time for Baek Soo-ryong..
“Heh heh. It's true that I felt that way, but.”
Noh smiled and looked around at the instructors..
He knew that suspicion was growing in their hearts..
How can you not know.
I felt it more than anyone else..
‘The ominous energy rising within was clearly... … It was the martial arts of a blood demon..’
I was confident because I had experienced it myself in the past..
But I couldn't bring myself to say it out loud..
One hasty word could bring about a great disaster at the Blue Dragon Academy..
‘I hope it's because I'm getting old that I'm wrong..’
But the questions continued one after another..
The only people left in there are Cheonsal and Hundred Water Dragons..
In that case, it would be correct to think that Cheonsal learned the martial arts of blood demons.…….
Why do I suddenly have this thought?.
‘If it's not something you've learned for a thousand years,?’
Noh put the thoughts in his head deep inside. And he spoke to the instructors who were looking at him with worried expressions..
“don't doubt.”
Unable to dispel the suspicion himself, Noh Gun-sang told others so..
“Teacher Baek Soo-ryong's request may be puzzling, but isn't he a very eccentric friend? There is no way I would do anything that would harm the Blue Dragon Academy..”
Because he was the head of the Blue Dragon School..
Fortunately, Noh Gun-sang's words seemed to calm the instructors, and everyone nodded with a sigh of relief..
However, some hesitated and asked as if they still had something to say..
“What does it mean to step down from the position of governor?…….”
“No, you're kidding.?”
Noh grinned and raised his head and looked at the sky..
After a truly long night, dawn was already breaking..
“It's an idea I've had for a long time. In the future of Blue Dragon Science Museum, I don't think I will be needed anymore..”
“…….”
“…….”
Silence fell. However, Noh Gun-sang smiled and spoke with a relaxed expression, as if he had let go of a heavy burden..
“The Blue Dragon Academy will become stronger. Let’s all work hard together in the future..”
Everyone nodded with complicated expressions..
Except for Mae Geuk-ryeom, most of the instructors at Cheongryong Academy were military men around the age of Roh Gun-sang's children or grandchildren..
To them, even though Noh Gunsang was not a very capable governor, he was an adult who always put their minds at ease..
‘So that he doesn't have to hide any more secrets..’
And then, the front door opened..
Mei profit.
“……Have you been waiting a long time??”
Baek Soo-ryong trudged out looking exhausted..
The clothes were soaked in blood, but most of it was the blood of a thousand years old. On the outside, Baek Soo-ryong didn't seem to be seriously injured..
“older brother!”
“Water dragon!”
Family members and classmates rushed to check on Baek Soo-ryong’s body. Baeksu-ryong was startled by the touch here and there..
“Yunan-eun…….”
Baek Soo-ryong smiled lightly, probably relieved after checking Nam Gung-su standing on one side and the disciples who were not yet conscious..
“Everyone is safe..”
And he opened his mouth, feeling many eyes looking at him..
“What happened inside…….”
At that time, Mr. Roh came over and tapped him on the shoulder..
“No need to explain.”
“……yes?”
“You saved many people. What more do I need to say??”
“…….”
“We've taken care of the little things, let's take a break and talk later..”
“yes. All right.”
Baek Soo-ryong, who laughed weakly, finally felt his tension dissipate..
“Then... … I'll rest.”
In the past few days, Baek Su-ryong could barely sleep..
In addition, the fatigue from using the blood demon's fingers to perform the technique hit me all at once, and my consciousness faded away in an instant..
flutter.
“Water dragon!”
Baek Mu-heun held his son who was falling. After taking a pulse for a moment, he sighed softly..
“I must have been very tired..”
He said he was just exhausted and that there didn't seem to be any major problems with his body. At those words, Mae Geuk-ryeom's heart sank..
Just like that, the night at Cheongryong Academy, which was longer than ever before, passed..
