Chapter 522
522fury. Now I know
The head of the family was impaled on a spear and flew away..
The warriors of Yuejia who witnessed the tragedy fell into panic. It didn't matter whether they were young or old, or whether their status was high or low. The same was true for Sogaju..
“Ah, father…….”
Ak Yeon-hwa looked at her father's face with an expression of complete disbelief. The moment of terrible pain remained intact..
As the head of a prestigious shaman family, I have seen quite a few corpses, although it is not common..
But the person who is dead right now in front of you is your father..
Although he had been oppressed all his life, it was even more shocking as if the world had collapsed..
“why are you…….”
Ak Yeon-hwa slowly approached her father with an ecstatic expression on her face. Eyes were pulled out and quite a few teeth were broken. It suggested that there had been severe torture before being killed..
Even though she knew that she shouldn't do that as the owner of a small household, Ak Yeon-hwa couldn't control her body trembling like an aspen tree due to anger and fear..
“……Sister.”
She suddenly came to her senses at the sound of a voice coming from behind and turned around. Ak Yeon-ho was looking at her with a face full of concern..
“Are you okay??”
“……okay.”
Ak Yeon-hwa nodded with a stern face. Although he didn't look okay at all, Yeonho Akh quietly walked away without asking any more questions. His gaze was complex as he glanced at the head of the dead Yue Fei..
“Who on earth is a member of the Ten Zones?…….”
“That corpse is the real King Chang.?”
“What on earth is going on?!”
It wasn't just the musicians of the evil family..
Most of the instructors and students at Cheongryong Academy and Jujak Academy were so shocked that they could not escape..
The head of the Shandong Music family and one of the Ten Masters was murdered. Even after being impaled on his own spear, only his head came back..
It was a time when everyone was just murmuring, not knowing what to do about a shocking incident that shook Kangho..
“What are they doing! Not prepared to fight against enemy attacks!”
Roh’s actions raised awareness among everyone..
‘Those who had been confused by the word 'enemy' suddenly came to their senses. The instructors guided the students, and Yeonhwa ordered the warriors of the Yue family to prepare for battle..
Meanwhile, Baek Su-ryong and King Yeom went straight to the main gate of the branch house. This was the direction the window came from..
Hwiik!
The White Water Dragon, which jumped to a high place, looked down at the mountain and fell asleep..
“blood religion…….”
Dark red waves were washing over the forest..
Doo doo doo doo!
The army of the blood religion is advancing, raising a cloud of dust..
The thick magical energy they gave off caused the bushes to dry up and die, and the mountain animals screamed in fright. Birds flying in the sky fell to the ground, and wild animals were so scared that they hit their heads on rocks..
‘Blood Range, Demon Slayer, Demon Soul…….’
To the eyes of other warriors, they would all be seen in dark red martial uniforms, but Baek Soo-ryong could see slightly different outfits and the characteristics of the martial arts practiced by each unit..
There are only three blood religious forces mobilized here. The number of people numbered in the hundreds. It was a force large enough to devastate an entire region..
“these guys… … . You made a plan.”
White Water Dragon, with a hardened expression, jumped down..
thud!
I stood alone blocking the front door and glared at the enemies coming in. Soon King Yeom came down next to him, flapping his long gun..
“……As you said, it was a blood religion..”
“We need to make as much time as possible here..”
“hour? I was going to burn it all down.?”
Even in the midst of this, Baek Soo-ryong chuckled at King Yeom's joke. He nodded, clutching the red moon tightly..
“Of course, I think the same way..”
However, the blood religion's troops stopped at a certain distance and did not advance any further..
Even until Ak Yeon-hwa and Ak Family's warriors arrived late, there was no significant movement on the part of the blood religion..
“What is this plan? Why don't you attack right away?…….”
It was when King Yeom narrowed his eyes and muttered in a suspicious voice..
Listen to Kangho’s nonsense.!
It was a bright voice that shook the air..
Sounds echoed from all directions, regardless of front, back, left, and right, and just hearing that evil voice was enough to make most warriors tremble..
“Yu, Yukhapjeonseong (六合傳聲))!”
“Raise your inner energy and protect your energy and blood.!”
Yukhapjeonseong (六合傳聲) was an art that was known to be able to be performed not only by reaching a high level but also by possessing tremendous internal strength. However, the opponent showed no signs of difficulty at all even though he was spreading it widely..
“It's such a wide range of battles.…….”
“What is the extent of the inner strength?…….”
It was time for the astonished warriors to look around at the blood religion's troops with exhausted expressions..
A sturdy old man wearing blood-red robe took a few steps forward and spoke..
Nobu is the leader of the Blood Demon Church and the Immortal Amazon..
King Yeom and King Noh reacted at the same time. They glared at the Immortal Amazon with distorted expressions, as if recalling an old nightmare..
“I thought it was a voice I had heard before.…….”
“It's Heavenly Chu's regret that I couldn't burn that old monster to death in the past.!”
Clue. There are some familiar faces. Those who were just kids fifty years ago have become old men..
The voice that was full of joy seemed to look down on the other person..
It was as if they were mocking the political faction of the Murim people who had been intoxicated with victory and peace for the past several decades..
I have one suggestion for you. So I gave him a special gift..
“gift?”
Didn't you already receive it? I sent it to you with a good thread on the window. Oh my, did it break unrecognizably while flying??
Realizing what the Immortal Amazon's 'gift' meant, the warriors of the evil family became angry and burst into flames..
“Innoom!”
“You are the head of the family!”
“I will kill you!”
However, at the same time as anger, the warriors of the evil family felt fear at the enemy who killed the head of the family. This was even more so because he was the head of the family who reigned as the absolute leader of the family..
Clue. This school wants one thing. Blue Dragon Credit Union. If you give him up, we'll just leave here..
“Are you telling me to believe such nonsense?!”
Grumbling!
The large fireball created by the Flame King flew towards the Immortal Amazon..
However, before it could reach the Immortal Amazon, it was scattered without a trace by the sharp swords and firestorms that flew from all directions..
For a moment, Baek Soo-ryong’s expression hardened..
‘There are at least three experts of elder level or higher..’
Baek Soo-ryong was not the only one who felt that the opponent's strength was formidable. The expressions of King Yeom and King Noh were as hard as stone..
The immortal mazon asked leisurely, as if he was enjoying such a reaction..
If so, is there another way? If our school starts attacking, everyone will die, but it seems like the lives of young warriors who haven't yet blossomed aren't a waste of money..
“…….”
The Ak family's branch was a natural fortress located in a canyon surrounded by cliffs..
It's good for defending against enemies, but on the other hand, the only way to get out is to break through from the front..
I will make a promise on Nobu's honor..
After deliberately pausing for a moment, the Immortal Amazon made his last suggestion..
If we send the Blue Dragon Credit Union before the sun sets, our school will take him with us and retreat. However, if you do not accept our school’s mercy in the end,…….
The inner strength and liveliness contained in Yukhapjeonseong have become more intense. A loud and ominous voice echoed throughout the family home. It was almost like a pitchfork..
Nothing in it will survive, not even a single ant baby.!
When the Immortal Mazon finished speaking and retreated, the blood cult army also retreated and camped for about a dozen lengths..
“…….”
“…….”
There was a heavy silence in the family's home for a while..
“at last…….”
The one who broke the silence was one of the Ak family's warriors. He looked at Baek Su-ryong with a gaze filled with resentment..
“Isn’t it because of the Blue Dragon Credit Union that religious people came here??”
Baek Soo-ryong didn't say anything..
The people around him, including Ak Yeon-ho, were angry on his behalf..
“What does that mean now? This is your fault!”
“Are you saying what I said was wrong? If you think about it, didn't the head of the family suffer misfortune because of the Blue Dragon Credit Union? And how dare you adopt……!”
It wasn't just one person. The warriors of the evil family, who had similar thoughts, looked at Baeksu-ryong with hostile gaze and began to murmur..
“If it happened because of you, you deserve to take responsibility..”
“Why should we all be in danger because of one Blue Dragon Credit Union member??”
“There is a need to clarify responsibility…….”
Looking at that appearance, Baeksuryong was able to understand the Immortal Mazon’s intentions..
‘You were targeting our internal strife from the beginning..’
The reason the Blood Cult did not attack right away was because this was a natural fortress..
If the Cheongryong School, the Jujak School, and the Shandong Music Group begin to work together to hold out, they will be able to block a large number of enemies even with insufficient power..
So, before starting a full-scale attack, infighting was encouraged to occur. So that it collapses from within.
“Have you seen these frustrating writers? Do you really not know that it is the blood cult's intention to divide us?!”
King Yan was furious, but once he lost his temper, the warriors of the Yue family could not easily regain their composure..
“under! You are taking sides by saying that you are working at the same Odaekwan. We lost our matriarch!”
“Are you believing what the blood cultists say because you have no one to trust??”
“The warrior made a promise on his own honor. Can we dismiss it as a lie simply because it is a religious cult??”
“Huh! So foolish…….”
On one side, the martial artists of the music school, and on the other side, the instructors of Cheongryong and Jujakhakgwan engaged in a tense war of words..
Music lost its focus overnight..
The head of the family who was supposed to lead them died, and most of the major figures, such as the governor, the head of the outer party, and the head of the inner party, remained in their home family in Shandong..
There were henchmen whom the head of the family brought from the family, but most of them the head of the family took away last night and did not return. Everyone would have died along with the head of the family. Because most of those who would lead disappeared, the division was not easily calmed down..
The few remaining people were either in a daze or with blood in their necks, insisting that Blue Dragon Credit Union should be kicked out..
“You have to send it to Blue Dragon Credit Union.!”
“don't talk nonsense!”
As the chatter continued, the warriors divided on both sides sharpened their teeth at each other, and the chaos grew out of control. As our troops were divided, overall morale was declining. The students were anxious and watching..
It was then.
“……I will ask the Blue Dragon Credit Union. I saw something coming out of the matriarch's mouth earlier. what is that?”
Ak Yeon-hwa, who had been quiet for a while, approached Baek Soo-ryong and asked. Those eyes were cold, as if they were interrogating a criminal..
“……This is it. The story I just heard from the Immortal Amazon is written exactly as it is..”
Baek Soo-ryong handed the crumpled letter to Ak Yeon-hwa..
Ak Yeon-hwa's expression as she read the contents quickly did not look good. she asked, pointing to the blood smeared under the print..
“This is... … what is?”
Underneath the statement that he would resign if the Blue Dragon Credit Union was released, something that looked like scrawled text that was hard to read was written..
Baek Soo-ryong shook his head and said he didn’t know..
“well. The blood probably spread while I was writing. Or it spread while it was in your mouth..”
“…….”
As Ak Yeon-hwa gritted her teeth and looked at the letter written in her father's blood, the voices in the Ak family calling for Cheongryong Shinhyeop to be kicked out grew louder..
Baek Su-ryong looked at the evil family's warriors who wanted to kick him out at any moment..
‘As it is, things are going as the Immortal Amazon intended. Rather than allow infighting to occur…….’
Even if the power was reduced, it might have been better to suppress the evil family's warriors first..
Even though at least one more warrior was needed before the fight against the blood cult, it was a situation where they had no choice but to resort to desperate measures. Because an unreliable ally is more dangerous than an enemy.
‘First, I have to subdue Sogaju..’
It was the moment when Baek Soo-ryong, who had made up his mind, secretly increased his strength..
“Aren't you ashamed?!”
It was a voice without any inner strength..
Nevertheless, what caught everyone's attention was that the voice was more desperate than anyone else here..
A man was walking with a limp. Using the spear held in one hand as a cane, he walked towards the place where the warriors were gathered, leading his uncomfortable body..
“father!”
Ak Yeon-ho, who was startled, ran over and tried to help Ak Jin-heon..
“Get out of the way.”
However, Ak Jin-heon resolutely refused his son's help and walked alone. Staring at each of the family's warriors with harsh eyes,.
“Uncle Jinheon?”
Ak Yeon-hwa looked at Ak Jin-heon with a puzzled expression..
It was my first time seeing him with such an angry face, but seeing him holding a weapon as he had not learned any decent martial arts made me worry..
However, there was one thing that the Yue family's Su family overlooked..
The spirit and courage of a warrior are separate from the highs and lows of martial achievements..
“Those who harmed the head of the family are out there, so why are you blaming it somewhere else?!”
At Ak Jin-heon's words, the music masters who had been talking just a moment ago fell silent. Even Mu-in, who was most passionately criticizing the Blue Dragon Credit Union, averted his gaze when he made eye contact with Ak Jin-heon..
Ak Jin-heon stopped in his seat, calmed his rough breathing and asked again..
“Please answer. The people who sent the family's supply as a gift are mocking and threatening the family, so why are they trying to kick out the guests without any intention of fighting? Where on earth has the pride of martial arts gone?!”
“…….”
“Or could it be that he was frightened by the enemies who killed the head of the family??”
Ak Jin-heon was the oldest of the Gasols with the Ak surname remaining in the branch family. Although there were those who were dissatisfied with his words, they could not be ignored outright in an official setting..
Ak Jin-heon looked around at the family’s warriors and continued speaking. It was a voice that was suppressing anger..
“I was injured when I was fifteen and was no longer able to practice martial arts..”
“After installing the spear, I learned the job from the commander-in-chief. Do you know where the spear you hold, the clothes you wear, and the food you eat every day come from and how much it costs??”
Memoirs of a man who has been silently doing work that most warriors do not care about for decades, and who has lived to help his family in other ways..
“It may seem insignificant to you, but taking care of the family like this is my job. But I!”
Ak Jin-heon straightened his shoulders, which had been bent after a long period of chores, and spoke confidently..
“I have never once forgotten that I am a master of Shandong music. Even though I have a body that is shameful to be called a warrior, my spirit is not as bad as yours..”
Even those who had opened their lips to refute something bowed their heads in shame..
“Even if I die, I will die proudly as a warrior of the evil family. I will never live as a coward.”
Ak Jin-heon grasped the spear he had been using as a staff with all his might and started walking past So Ga-ju. The face of the man heading towards the enemy camp showed a determination to die..
thud! thud! thud!
The small sound of hitting the floor resonated louder than any other advance..
Ak Jin-heon walked out the front door like that. No one could catch him with those scary eyes..
Not knowing what to do, Ak Yeon-ho followed his adoptive father's lead and eventually blocked his way..
“father. please calm down!”
“Get out of the way. Since it won't help in the fight anyway, it will be the first spear to break among the evil family's spears..”
“Why should my father do that! I might actually die.!”
Ak Jin-heon said firmly as he looked at his son who was screaming with a face that looked like he was going to cry at any moment..
“Yeonho. Did you think Abby was a coward who was afraid of dying? Unless you're ignoring me, get out of the way.”
No one could stop that stubbornness.
There was only one person who could stop him here. Everyone's eyes were on Sojiazhu..
“……Hometown.”
Ak Yeon-hwa opened her mouth with a cracked voice. She looked at the back of the old spearman limping towards the enemy lines for a moment. The complex expression gradually became more determined..
Cooung-!
Ak Yeon-hwa, who stabbed the floor with her spear, shouted with all her might. The loud voice reached the blood cult army outside..
“We will fight against the evil beasts that harmed the head of the family. All the spearmen of the evil family, lift up your spears.!”
There were still uninhabited people who were dissatisfied, uninhabited people who were afraid of blood religion, and there were uninhabited people who cursed Ak Jin-heon in their hearts..
However, it was a decision made by the So family in a situation where the head of the family was dead. Even if you couldn't understand it, following it was an instinct engraved in the blood of the Murim family..
““I obey orders!””
The warriors of the evil family simultaneously raised their spears to the sky. The sunlight hit the window blade and broke at the same time, its momentum seemed to pierce the sky..
“……Now I know they are like the musicians of the evil family..”
It was only after Ak Jin-heon saw that that his anger calmed down..
