I see emperor stats-Chapter 144
strong
Namgung Ilchun called in the later exponents to make a decision.
"First of all, I'm glad you came back safely."
“I have no face, father.”
Namgung-ho, who had brought a bomb, listened with his head down. Other late indexes were also unable to raise their heads, and the reason was as follows.
"her… You said that my older brother lost without using his hands properly?”
"That's right."
Namgung Huang, who had been beaten to death by Julius before, was the older brother of Namgung Ilcheon, who is now leading the Jeongdo Union.
‘Your brother has certain skills, but he has a somewhat impetuous and passionate side. Still, these are the words of young children. … .'
His face was stained with surprise and concern, then he sighed and opened his mouth again.
"after… It can't be helped if the other person is a master of that level, but your hasty actions have put a strain on Sega's reputation.”
“Please punish the child.”
Namgung-ho bent his back so that his head could touch the floor.
Recently, the Namgung family was considered the best among the five major families and was enjoying the greatest prosperity.
However, if it is known that Hwang Namgung, who is one of the best masters among them, was defeated by Saekmokin, whose name is not properly known, his reputation will be greatly damaged.
'But it's a pain in the ass. Listening to what these children say, this is largely due to the fact that they argued first.'
For Namgung Ilcheon, who has a fair and upright personality, something truly troubling happened.
'It's ambiguous to leave it as it is, and there's a fault on this side, but I can't bite it and hang around to restore my honor.'
However, he thought that as the head of the Namgung family, he must take responsibility for this incident. He decided to find out about Julius first.
“First of all, tell me what you felt or what you found out about Daehyeop, which is the color tree.”

after a while
The second person who was called after the latter group was Gu Cheon-geol, who was called Goegae. Because of his high distribution and reputation for being eccentric, Namgung Ilcheon's tone was cautious.
“Have you been well? long time no see."
"joy! Put away your empty words, why did you call this old man?”
Goo Cheon-geol replied in a crooked tone, as if he was in a very bad mood.
'There's no way I'm in a good mood.'
Namgung Ilchun smiled bitterly inside and asked about the unbelievable facts he had heard from the latter.
“When I heard from the children, they said that they had a battle with the Saekmokin and lost, is that true?”
“Why do you ask when you already know? It is exactly as you have been reported.”
Namgung Ilcheon broke out in a cold sweat. But I had to ask what I was going to ask to get the facts.
“When I asked the children, they said that he went under his command as a result of the bet… … .”
As soon as those words came out, Goo Chun-geol's expression completely crumpled.
"you… Did you call to make fun of me?”
“Could that be? Just because it's so unbelievable. haha… … .”
Watching Namgung Ilcheon try to escape the situation with a smile, Goo Chun-geol clicked her tongue.
“Tsk! Then can we go now?”
"Please wait a moment."
When Namgung Ilchun hurriedly stopped him, Goo Chun-geol looked back as if he was annoyed.
"why!"
“What do you think of the Saekmokin? Seeing that senior Noh obediently followed him, he must not be a villain, right?”
"I don't know either!"
thud!
As if it was too much trouble to answer, Gu Chun-geol roughly opened the door.
"ah!"
As he was about to leave, he immediately turned his head as if something had come to his mind.
“I’m giving you advice, save face and don’t do anything unnecessary. You'll only be humiliated like me."
Namgung Ilcheon made eye contact with a cold expression.
“What do you mean by that?”
"If nothing happened, that's it."
thud!
As soon as the door closed, Gu Chen Jie smiled.
“I’ve warned you, but there’s no way that guy who cares about Sega’s honor like the sky will listen to it. Sooner or later there will be something good to see.”
And he didn't even know about Julius' identity yet. Something seemed to come to mind, but there was nothing I could feel.
'That color tree... no damn! Did you say your master's name was Julius? I'm sure I've heard that name somewhere... … .'
Goo Chun-geol tilted his head and returned to his quarters.
* * *
The next day, an unexpected guest visited Julius at the residence of the Jegal family.
Julius, who was drinking tea with Jegal Unhyeon, looked at the visitor with an interesting expression.
“Did you say you were looking for me?”
The identity of the visitor was Namgung Ilcheon, who visited with a group of masters.
"That's right. From what I heard, it was said that the family members of the family had caused trouble to Daehyeop. I am here to apologize.”
“I don't care about that anymore. I'm sorry that I used my hand first."
Julius shook his head. He thought he was unlucky at first, but he also got decent subordinates and the results were quite good.
However, Namgung Ilcheon did not seem to have any intention of burying it.
“In Gangho, Eunwon should definitely do it. I apologize on behalf of this family.”
“If you say that, I will accept your apology… … .”
Watching him slightly lower his head, Julius put on a puzzled expression.
'Do you have a good personality? Or he must have a different ulterior motive.'
In the meantime, the people I met on this continent were very proud of their skills.
This tendency was even greater for outstanding masters such as Gu Cheon-geol and Namgung Hwang, so it was quite unfamiliar to see Namgung Ilcheon, who is equivalent to a superhuman in the western continent, meekly admitting his mistakes.
"haha! This friend is naturally good-natured. It seems that the rudeness you have done to your lord is quite disturbing.”
Jegal Unhyeon looked at the exchange between the two with an expression of interest. Namgung Ilcheon asked for help with her coy eyes.
[Unhyeon, please don't stop this from happening, even for the sake of our friendship.]
[I have no intention of stopping it. You can do whatever you want.]
When Jegal Unhyeon smiled as if to reassure him, Namgung Ilchun finally brought up the second business.
“Actually, I came here because I have one thing to ask of Daehyeop besides an apology.”
“What is that?”
He politely put his hands together and embraced Julius.
“The head of the Namgung family. Namgung Ilchun asks for help.”
“Raimu?”
Seeing Julius tilt his head at the unfamiliar word, Jegal Unhyeon explained.
“If you hit the western continent, it means Dalian. Some fighters fight for their lives, but not in this case. Isn't it?”
Namgung Ilcheon also cheered.
“Of course, it is a goodwill dance. He said he came from the West Continent, but he had a desire to see the swordsmanship there for a long time.”
“There is nothing difficult.”
Julius rose from his seat. The very apology of Namgung Ilchun that he saw was undoubtedly sincere. I don't know why he asked for this dance, but I don't think he has any ill feelings towards him.
When he accepted the sword dance, Namgung Ilcheon sighed inwardly. Originally, it was expected that Jegal Unhyeon would be torn apart, but unexpectedly, he readily agreed to the bimu.
"Then I'll take over as the observer on the lord's side."
“This side is where the masters of Sega decide to be the observers.”
Both sides agreed, and the two gathered in an empty lot in the center of the village where Jeong Do-yeon was stationed.
Hearing the rumors about Julius, the masters of the Jeongdo Union flocked to the vacant lot with interesting expressions.
buzz buzz.
“Is the author the master of the rumor? I heard that he has Jegal Sei under his command, but I don't know what the hell happened.”
“I heard that Namgung Ilcheon Daehyeop is stepping up?”
“Then the result would of course be the victory of the Namgung family. It seems that Saekmokin didn’t know him well, so he accepted the dance.”
The gathered Murim people heard rumors about Julius, but most of them predicted the victory of Namgung Ilcheon.
In fact, Gu Cheon-geol is famous as the best master of Shinbeop in Moorim, but in terms of martial arts, he was inferior to the masters of the four major martial arts.
In addition, Namgung Ilcheon was considered the strongest among the four great masters, excluding Baekhakgeomseon, the Murim lord, so this speculation could have been taken for granted.
"i look forward to."
“Please take care of me.”
Seruk.
Namgung Ilchun, who drew his sword with a cautious expression, had the following thoughts.
'The opponent won't be easy, but I have to show an overwhelming figure as much as possible.'
Even though he had no ill feelings towards Julius, it was because of Sega's honor that he had come to ask for help.
Sega loses face when rumors spread that Namgung Hwang, the elder brother of the family head, was defeated without even trying his hand.
In Moorim, honor is a very sensitive matter, and if Julius was old or a well-known figure, he could have passed it over, but rumors of a strong man were not so easy.
To the unknown Julius, it was a serious problem that the Namgoong family could be evaluated as inferior.
In order to prevent such rumors from spreading, it was necessary for Sega's best master, Ilcheon Namgung, to defeat Julius in this battle.
'I'm sorry for Unhyeon's friend, but I must win this fight.'
Namgung Ilcheon was determined. Perhaps Jegal Unhyeon agreed, believing that he would finish the fight in an appropriate way even if he saw his friend himself, but as long as he had responsibilities as a family head, he thought of dealing with Julius as best he could.
.

.

.

“Tsk! That friend must have thought roughly like this... Rather, I feel sorry for you.”
Jegal Unhyeon was constantly holding back laughter even as he clicked his tongue.
“Then shall we begin?”
As soon as Julius drew his sword and aimed it at the 1,000 male bowmen, the sword dance began.
"bout!"
Namgung Ilchun had the intention of dealing with Julius with all his might, so he took out his secret technique from the first move.
Paperweight!
His sword glowed blue and sparks began to fly. This was the reason why he was nicknamed the Thunder Dragon.
Nuada's destruction was only in the form of a white thunderbolt, and had nothing to do with lightning, but Namgung Ilcheon's secret skill could change the real energy injected into the sword into a form of blue current.
Kurleung!
Namgung Ilcheon, who had turned into a blue thunderbolt, mercilessly struck down the sword at Julius. The moment the two swords collided, a roaring sound resounded like thunder.
Cacan!
"this!"
“Back off!”
They did not know that Namgung Ilcheon would launch such a terrifying attack from the beginning, so the Murim people who had gathered retreated to avoid the aftermath. Their thoughts on leaving were the same.
'I can't even find the bones of that man of color anymore?'
However, the result was the exact opposite of their expectations.
Quaang!
“Hut!”
"Unbelievable… … .”
Rather, it was Namgung Ilcheon who was thrown out of the clash. He staggered back a few steps.
“Kuk!”
Like a seasoned master, he quickly regains his posture. His face became even more serious because he had never expected that he would be repulsed so feebly by Julius, a fresh blue young man.
Julius blocked his attack with a single swing of his sword in place and knocked him out with a follow-up attack.
Namgung Ilcheon jumped at Julius again with a firm expression.
'I was wrong. But I can't just withdraw like this.'
Wow!
This time, dozens of bolts of lightning aimed at Julius' whole body.
The power contained in each single bolt of lightning was truly astounding, and even if it brushed against a nearby tree or ground, that part would be burnt black.
Onlookers took only a few steps back at first, but were soon forced to distance themselves as the aftermath of the clash grew.
However, the complexion of Namgung Ilcheon, who was pouring out such a terrible attack, was not very good.
Most of the onlookers couldn't even discern their movements, but they couldn't help but be embarrassed to see Julius counter the attack.
“Huh… … .”
“To think that young Saekmokin is making Namgung Daehyeop so much trouble.”
If Namgung Ilcheon was a thunderbolt, then Julius was an iron wall. He knocks out all the lightning that shoots at terrifying speed.
The onlookers didn't know much, but because of that, the complexion of Namgung Ilcheon, who was pouring fierce attacks, was gradually turning dark.
It was a match that seemed tense at first glance, but at some point their movement stopped.
visor!
Namgung Ilcheon, who took advantage of the recoil from the clash of the swords to widen the distance, stood still for a moment with a pale expression. Onlookers stare at him with curious eyes.
Namgung Ilchun, who withdrew, stared at Julius with a complicated expression for a while. She then thrust her sword into her resigned face.
sreuk
“… … !?”
Unbelievable sounds came out of his mouth as he took the gun again without the onlookers being surprised.
“This is my defeat. Thank you for taking care of the situation.”
“Your workmanship was also excellent.”
Julius also took the example of a knight by raising his sword in the style of the West Continent.
buzz buzz.
“How did this happen? Namgung Daehyeop admitting defeat?”
“Even though Saemokin defended it well, it was a tight-looking dance, right?”
The onlookers were momentarily confused. It was such a shock that Namgoong Ilcheon admitted her defeat.
“… … .”
However, Namgung Ilcheon started to turn around and head towards the place of silence.
Namgung-ho, who followed him, hurriedly asked a question as if he could not hold back his curiosity.
“Father, how did this result come about?”
“Whoa… How did the previous match look?”
Namgung Ilchun let out a long sigh and did not answer, instead questioning. Namgung-ho opened her mouth with a puzzled expression.
“I couldn’t even see the movements of the two of you with my humble skills, but it looked close.”
“… … .”
Hearing this, Namgung Ilchun remained silent for a while before finally opening his mouth.
“If the author swung his sword with the intention of killing me, I would no longer be a person of this world.”
"yes?"
Namgung-ho was also at a loss for words at that shocking answer.
"haha… Unhyeon, is that friend too mischievous that he chose me as a stepping stone to spread his lord's reputation?"
Namgung Ilchun muttered to himself weakly and started to walk again.
* * *
Meanwhile, Jegal Unhyeon greeted Julius with a smile.
“Thank you for your hard work, lord.”
“They say it’s just sparring, did you trick me?”
Julius frowned. Namgung Ilchun's attack just before was too serious to be seen as sparring. It's a pity that the opponent backed off meekly.
But Jegal Unhyeon was still smiling.
“That friend of Ilcheon is not a person with an aftertaste. I thought that if I confirmed the master's skills, he would resign. And wasn't it an opportunity to roughly gauge the skills of the masters of the eastern continent?"
“Haha, after showing off a few times, he quickly admitted defeat.”
Julius nodded as if he believed his words to be true. Just now, he seemed to be only defending himself, but he only showed a little bit of momentum to open space cutting to Namgung Ilcheon from time to time.
Of course, if it had actually been unfolded, he would have been cut into two halves without knowing why, but since it was done for threats, he continued to swing his sword feeling unknown horror.
However, after repeating that three or four times, he realized that Julius had given up his attack even though he could have killed him, and conceded defeat.
And it seems that Jegal Unhyeon had other thoughts.
“And the fact that I used that friend as a scapegoat is related to my next move.”
"What's next?"
Jegal Unhyeon nodded his head with a serious expression.
“Moorim basically respects the strong. It's called the strong character zone. Although I can guarantee the status of the lord, it is necessary for the lord himself to establish a reputation as a strong man in order to exert influence in Moorim.”
“Hoo… … .”
In the future, Julius will be included in the Jeongdo Union and must go to find the legacy. But to get a say in the crowd, you need a reputation to match.
"So you're saying that I should make a name for myself as a Murim person on this continent?"
"you're right. It is a necessary part to deal with the Demonic Cult. Of course, it's difficult to have a grudge. In that sense, Ilcheon is a perfect fit.”
Julius put on an expression of surprise.
“It's good for me, but is it okay for my friends?”
“Then you will understand. He knows that dealing with the Demonic Cult is going to be difficult right now.”
Namgung Ilcheon, the vice-head of Jeong Do-maeng and one of the four great masters, was a very suitable person to build such a reputation.
But above all, his fair character was the decisive reason for this fight.
Understanding all the circumstances, Julius finally smiled.
“If Murim is such a place, it wouldn’t be bad to create a force here.”
