Chapter 575
575fury. I'll give you an answer soon
There was a heavy atmosphere at the banquet hall prepared by the Murim Alliance. Workers carrying food and civil servants walked carefully while observing the surroundings..
“Are the members of the Jeongpa faction really this quiet even when eating??”
However, there were some who did not mind the heavy atmosphere..
The leaders of the Black Domain, including Meng Longhui, and his subordinates were enjoying the dinner without hesitation..
“hey? This is all I drink?”
“We've come a long way, so please give us some more meat.!”
“They say Taoist monks only eat grass. Chan is not feeling well.…….”
In normal times, the Murim Alliance would have been like an enemy camp..
However, the warriors of the black island ate and drank to their heart’s content..
There was no sign of warning that the food might have been poisoned. Rather, everyone loosened their belts and enjoyed a sumptuous dinner as if it were their own home..
“…….”
“…….”
On the other hand, the expressions of the members of the political faction sitting on the other side were stiff. It was hard to find anyone eating properly..
In an atmosphere where one did not know who was the owner and who was the guest, Meng Longhui, who was sipping an expensive bottle of Shaoxing liquor, tilted his head and said..
“Why are they so stiff? Why don’t you eat comfortably?.”
At that moment, all of the martial arts faction members glared at Meng Longhui. Although they didn't say anything, everyone felt the same way..
‘Isn’t this all because of you?!’
The sword of the Qingcheng faction was broken while a large crowd watched..
And it was not an ordinary warrior, but the Qingseong God Sword, said to be the best of the Qingseong Sect, who was defeated overwhelmingly..
‘And that too in one piece…….’
‘I was wondering why Doma So-gwang gave up his position as the leader of the Black Doma.…….’
‘Black Island Lord Meng Longhui. The author might be the new Sapa Jeilin..’
This was the reason why the expressions on the faces of some of the old scholars and famous masters in the martial arts faction who attended the banquet were dark..
Fortunately, no further clashes occurred due to the intervention of the Murim Lord and Buddha, but the reputation of the Qingcheng faction had already fallen to rock bottom..
From today onwards, the title of Cheongseongshingeom will no longer be mentioned in the world's ten greatest swordsmen..
The Qingcheng faction did not even attend the banquet. The reason was that the injuries of Cheongseong Shingeom and the injured elder were serious, but no one believed that at all..
“Thanks to you, the disciples of Cheongseong were seriously injured. Do you think this is a place for the unmanned people of Gufileilbang to have a pleasant meal??”
Even within the political faction, there were warriors with formidable temperament..
When Geomseong glared and fired, Meng Ryonghwi smiled and responded..
“If anyone heard it, they would think I had at least cut off a limb. At best, it's okay to make a fuss about fainting..”
“her! Aren't the servants of Sapa even taught the basic courtesy of using honorifics to elders??”
“I was taught that if an adult or something else starts a fight, I should step on it..”
“This guy…….”
Meng Longhui grinned without saying a word..
The Sword Saint’s eyebrows twitched wildly. Just as he was about to say something, Meng Longhui struck first..
“Cheongseong aside, why didn't the others come? Of course, I thought everyone in the old group would attend..”
“that…….”
Some of the old group did not attend the banquet as a sign of opposition to the Murim lord..
The first meeting to discuss the alliance between political factions and Safa factions..
However, unlike the Heukdo Alliance, the political factions centered around the Murim Alliance were not properly united..
“Tsk. Even if you don't say it, it's obvious.”
When Meng Ryonghui clicked his tongue softly, the Murim Lord blushed like a person who had been caught cheating. The famous monks of the political faction also looked embarrassed..
“I'm disappointed. If this is the case, will we be able to fight if the blood religion invades??”
Meng Longhui looked around and sneered..
Then, he took a gulp of Shaoxing wine and continued speaking with glistening eyes..
“I think I could kill you guys right now..”
At Meng Ryonghui’s mocking provocation, the political faction members jumped up from their seats..
“Your arrogance has gone too far.!”
“Can't you be polite?!”
But no one was hasty to come forward..
It reminded me of the terrible inaction that Meng Longhui showed against the Qingcheng Divine Sword, but it was not only the Black Blade leader Meng Longhui who had to be on guard here..
Sigh.
“Did our leader say something wrong??”
Byeok-an-gwi stood up with bright blue ghosts flowing from his eyes..
“If you want the Black Blade to be polite, the Jung Sect Murim will have to be polite first. It was you who invited the guests and pointed the sword at them.!”
Detective Nokui gave a sharp rebuke to the prominent members of the political faction in a firm voice..
“……Everyone, if you don't want to get a hole in your head, sit back down.?”
Chu Honggungwi frowned and glanced at the members of the political faction who had stood up. With one hand, he lightly swept the bow down next to him..
Byeok-an-gwi, Green-robed monk, Chuhongung-gwi.
The spirit secretly exuded by the masters, who are renowned as the masters of Sapa, made the atmosphere of the banquet hall tense..
Not only that, the warriors of the Black Island who had been eating and drinking comfortably just a moment ago also stopped eating and raised their hands to their weapons. As soon as an order was given, the stabbings were ready to begin..
Gulp…….
The sound of someone swallowing dry saliva resonated particularly loudly..
It was a time when the warriors of the political faction and the Sa faction, divided on both sides, glared at each other, causing extreme tension..
At that moment, from a corner of the banquet hall, a curious man's voice that did not fit this atmosphere was heard..
“Whoa. This is the esophagus used in the kitchen of the Murim League.?”
“Yes, yes! That's right.”
“The center of gravity is a little low. Do you usually hold and use it like this??”
“Rather, like this…….”
“Can you give me a demonstration??”
“Hold it like this and use it. To a warrior, it seems like insignificant workmanship, but…….”
“What does that mean? Is there anyone who handles a sword as delicately as the masters?.”
The Murim leader answers while sweating profusely, and the man catches him and asks him about various uses of the esophagus..
He did not feel any prayer, as if he had not learned martial arts, but in fact, because of that, he was showing a presence no less than that of the Black Blade lord Meng Ryonghui..
‘cutting board……!’
Everyone, including the long-time writers of the old file room, had no choice but to be aware of the man's existence..
Doma So-gwang.
It was the name of the world's greatest province and the former Lord of the Black Devils..
‘Why can't I feel any internal energy from the cutting board??’
‘Could it be that he has reached a higher level and achieved a perfect rebuttal?.’
‘Just one person named Meng Longhui will turn the world into chaos.…….’
Although So Ji-gwang did nothing, his very existence posed a greater threat than anyone else to the famous masters of the political faction..
“Hmm…….”
“no way…….”
Even worldly experts like Buddha, Sword Saint, and Master of Cheonmuhak tilted their heads as they looked at So Ji-gwang. They also couldn't be sure unless they checked for themselves..
It was a time when the famous scholars of the political faction were building up misunderstandings with heavy hearts..
“Amitabha Buddha. Conflicting here will do more harm than good to both sides, so let's stop..”
It was a Buddha statue. He stepped forward to mediate the conflict on behalf of the Murim lord, who had been silent from earlier with a gloomy expression..
The Buddha who quietly recited the Buddhist prayers spoke to Meng Longhui..
“It is undoubtedly true that Siju's hand was excessive in dealing with Cheongseong Shingeom. However, since you continue to use such extreme words and actions, is it really true that you hope for a smooth alliance??”
Meng Longhui responded with a snort..
“If it had been a real fight, he would have cut off his head, but only knocked him unconscious. I think I actually showed mercy.?”
“Do it in moderation. There is a limit to how much I can accept your sarcasm..”
Geomseong warned in a harsh voice, but Meng Ryonghwi was still an expert. It seemed as if he was deliberately mocking the factional faction..
“What if I don’t accept it? Wouldn't it be possible to at least hold chopsticks if you had at least one remaining arm??”
“This guy is really good……!”
It was Cheonmuhakgwanju who stopped the swordsman who was about to explode. He interrupted Sword Saint and said to Meng Longhui:.
“Lord of the Black Island. You clearly did everything you could to fight the inferiors rather than yourself and humiliated them in front of everyone. I can't believe there wasn't malice in those hands..”
The expressions of the masters of the nine factions were momentarily distorted strangely at the words that clearly described the Cheongseongsingeom as a subordinate, but the head of Cheonmuhak didn't care and walked out and stood in front of Meng Ronghui..
The corners of the Cheonmuhakgwanju's mouth, with his eyes filled with fierceness, slightly turned up..
“If you want to show off your martial arts skills, I'd like to deal with you. Why not go outside and compete in martial arts with me??”
Everyone looked surprised at the proposal of the Cheonmu Hakkwanju..
Lord Cheonmuhak, one of the Ten Lords, first proposed a fight to the Lord of the Black Island..
If the two's meeting was successful, a new Tenjon could be born or one of them could be defeated, depending on the outcome..
A thin smile appeared on Meng Longhui’s lips..
“……That would be fun too?”
However, the match between the two world-class experts did not end in success..
“I won't allow it..”
It was a firm voice. The Murim lord who had been silent until then finally came forward..
“This place is not for the purpose of highlighting the merits of martial arts, but for the alliance between the Murim Alliance and the Black Island Alliance. You all know that I will stop any further fighting in my name.!”
As if he would never tolerate this, the Murim Lord blocked the space between the two men with his fiercely raised eyes..
The Lord of Cheonmuhak looked at the Murim Lord with a regretful expression, but instead of remaining stubborn until the end, he obediently nodded and retreated..
“……It's a pity, but there will be another chance someday..”
When the head of the Heavenly Arms School withdrew first, the Murim Lord turned his head and said to Meng Longhui:.
“Lord of the Black Island. I know that your temperament is unstoppable and honest. However, if you are sincere in coming to form an alliance, use caution..”
“Self-weight? Don’t you think you’ve already endured a lot??”
Meng Ryonghui, who showed his teeth eerily, began to radiate murderous energy..
Sssssssut…….
An incredible murderous spirit spread out and covered the banquet hall..
It was not simply a matter of state. It was a natural way to live. Or, it was a fierce and violent life that was honed while surviving in a hellish environment..
Among the masters of the righteous faction, there were not many who had experienced living to this degree. Unable to control my trembling limbs without realizing it, I looked shocked..
Meng Longhui said in a somber voice..
“If I had wanted to, I could have cut off Cheongseong Shingeom's head and killed Cheongseong Jang Mun-in on the spot. Nevertheless, I showed mercy and what? Self-respect? why should i do that?”
However, despite living such a terrible life, there was not the slightest change in the Murim Lord's expression..
Emperor Yayul was a veteran who had experienced wars with clans in the past, and was also someone who had been preparing for war for a long time..
The steadfastness of the spirit was different from those who were accustomed to the peaceful martial arts world..
“Tell the black man what he wants. If you're going to keep messing around, all I can say is to get out of the way..”
Speculation was also seething in Yayulhwang’s eyes..
A fire seemed to be burning in the eyes of the King of Kwon, who had continued to tolerate the provocations of the Black Island leader and the behavior of the old faction that behaved as it pleased..
“It was supposed to come out like this a long time ago.”
eat.
At that moment, like a lie, Meng Longhui’s murderous spirit subsided. A thin smile appeared on his lips..
“I came to form an alliance with the martial arts faction, not with the martial arts group that is not even half as good. So whatever it is, make it one first..”
“……!”
The Murim lord quietly gritted his teeth, and the Buddha behind him quietly chanted a Buddhist chant. The long-time writers and myung-sooks of the old file room showed different reactions..
“If you don't even do that, you won't even be able to defeat the Black Order, let alone the Blood Cult..”
After finishing what he had to say, Meng Longhui turned around..
“let's go.”
Following the leader of the Black Domain, the leadership of the Black Domain and the warriors of the Black Domain all left the banquet hall..
“……I'll give you an answer soon.”
The Murim Lord muttered lowly to the back. I could hear the resolute determination in that voice..
‘I guess this is enough to make me come to my senses..’
With the appearance of the black sword, the martial arts faction will become very nervous..
Competitors too strong to act arbitrarily for their own benefit any longer..
From the Murim Alliance's point of view, it will be an excuse to take control of the old faction..
A thin smile appeared on Meng Longhui’s lips as he left the banquet hall..
* * *
that night.
Maeng Ryong-hwi, who stayed at the accommodation provided by the Murim League, received a visit from an expected guest..
“……Lord of the Black Island. Can we talk to you for a moment??”
Namgungsu opened his mouth with a calm expression..
Even though I confirmed that there was no one around, I requested an interview with the utmost courtesy in line with the other person's current status..
To this, Meng Longhui responded briefly..
“I don't like it.”
The sound of teeth grinding rang out eerily..
