The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 50
〈 50Tue 〉 Ojang Yongbong Branch (23）
* * *
Two more days had passed since the awards ceremony, but Seohyun still couldn't forget the excitement of the Yongbong branch and was excited..
It had to be that way..
The Yongbong Branch is over, but it is not over..
What was behind all the young masters who would lead the future of the world of power showing off their talents was the desperate struggle of those who did not reach that glorious position..
“bout!”
“Huh!”
All over the streets of Seohyun, people who had once been in the audience were dancing continuously..
Their purpose is one.
Showing off my talents and catching the attention of famous families here..
So, I was invited to become a warrior there..
The commotion at this Yongbong branch was particularly serious..
Originally, there were less than half of the total number of inscriptions still remaining to cover the military, but this time, all of them remain in Seohyeon..
As such, from the perspective of those making a fuss, the golden rope that could save their situation was twice as many as in peacetime..
What can I say about the reason why famous names remain?.
Mukryong Mokriwon.
It was to capture him..
“Mukryong saves many lives..”
“Did you hear that? This is also the island that appeared as Mukryong's first opponent a while ago. I heard he was invited to be the attendant of the Paeng family..”
“Don't you know that? So do you know this? I'm talking about Wang, who had a drink with us two days ago. He said he was invited to the family funeral as an unmanned person..”
“Oh, shit. I'm dying of envy. I also need to find my affiliation quickly..”
“What can I do? I can only hope that Mukryong stays here for at least one more day. Do you know anything? So, will we get a chance while Mukryong remains?.”
Soldiers who had not yet achieved affiliation hoped for.
I hope Mukryong stays in Seohyeon for one more day..
So, may we hold on to the feet of the nobles..
However, despite such expectations, the rumors being heard now were hopeless..
“…There was a rumor that Mukryong would join the Murim Alliance..”
“I'm not sure yet. Isn’t it just a rumor?.”
“But it wasn't a rumor without any credibility. I have a reliable information book, but it says that Mukryong is planning to go to the Murim Alliance with Dokbong and create a new group..”
“What kind of ruthless person would release such information? Even if you know, you have to keep your mouth shut!”
“Well, you should tell me that.….”
Mukryong hopes to join the Murim Alliance..
Seohyun's famous families were always showing signs of confusion at the rumor..
It was obvious.
The Murim League was like a sanctuary that should never be touched by the martial arts faction..
If this rumor is true, the position of the remaining noble families here will become ambiguous..
A sect that reached out to someone who would become a talented person in the Murim League..
This could be seen as an act of challenging the authority of the Murim Alliance, which has been increasing ever since the Blood Death..
The situation has become ambiguous for both nobles and warriors..
Meanwhile, those who caused the commotion were leisurely climbing Hwangsan Mountain and enjoying the arts..
“Sozer! Look over there! Two pine trees twisted together!”
Mok Riwon smiled brightly and pointed in one direction..
Danghwaseo smiled and responded to Mokriwon’s words..
“Yes, they are very friendly trees..”
“Look there too! A pine tree that is particularly larger than those around it! The tree with its back straight seems to be the leader of this place.!”
“It's definitely a pretty tree. Could it be that it's so remote that it won't be discovered? If there was such a pretty tree, there would have been people trying to tear it down..”
We admire the pine trees that fill Hwangsan Mountain, and then take a rest on a flat rock we see every once in a while..
Mokriwon, Danghwaseo, and Jegalsan continued their outing without even paying attention to what was happening outside..
After a while, the three of them climbed to the top of Mt. Hwangsan..
“Oh oh…!”
Mokriwon was thrilled by the revealed scene..
The pine trees sprouting between the rocks are beautiful..
The clouds visible beneath your feet and the panoramic view of Anhui spread out in the distance, show off the remoteness of Mother Nature and tug at your heartstrings..
Is this the world in which immortals live?.
Mok Ri-won shivered slightly, remembering that it was a good thing he came here..
“It's such a beautiful sight.….”
“It's a superb view of all scenic spots..”
There was an answer from Danghwaseo, and there was silence for a moment..
The three people were so moved by the scenery of Huangshan Mountain that they were unable to continue speaking..
It was Zhuge Shan who broke the silence..
He smiled while enjoying the scenery for a while and then spoke secretly to Danghwaseo..
“So, sister. The rumor spread really well..”
“hmm?”
“There's a rumor that you're going to the Murim Alliance. It was spread by your sister..”
Mok Ri-won, who had been blank until the day before yesterday, opened his eyes wide at those words..
“So, soger? What does that mean??”
Mok Riwon was surprised..
It was clear that Dang Hwa-seo was moving to avoid her family, but the question that came to mind was that she would announce her destination first..
The question arises because Mokriwon is still unfamiliar with Kangho's physiology..
Danghwaseo answered in a calm tone..
“That's why the rumor was spread. I told you so. No matter how prestigious a martial artist belonging to the Murim League is, they cannot be treated carelessly..”
“Even if that prestigious family is the original family..”
Zhuge Shan grinned..
Jegalsan, who had been moving together and learned a little about their situation, added happily..
“Sister, Mokau. I can join you on that path too.?”
“Are you talking about you??”
Danghwaseo looked surprised as if it was unexpected..
This is also true for Mokriwon..
Because of his nature of wandering around, it was expected that he would not be happy to be tied down somewhere..
Zhuge Shan said jokingly, as if he had expected that reaction..
“It's fun to be with these two people. And I guess I'll have to give up my wandering life now too..”
“That's a very good opinion!”
Mo Liwon said with great joy..
He was actually sad about breaking up with Jegal San, whom he had become attached to..
“So, the three of us are going to the Murim Alliance like this! Burning one's body for righteousness and justice!”
Mok Riwon’s eyes shone like stars..
I was overwhelmed by the thought of myself becoming famous as a martial artist of the Murim Alliance..
However, Danghwaseo’s expression was not good..
‘…No need to disturb me.’
That's because that thought came to my mind without me knowing..
The journey to Murimmaeng will not be short..
She, who had implicitly hoped for an outing with Mok-ri-won in the meantime, could not help but be dissatisfied with Jegal-san..
Danghwaseo won’t know..
Tang Hwaseo's insidiousness influenced the reason why Zhuge Mountain wanted to move together..
‘Still, I have to take care of my younger brother..’
It's a relationship between sworn brothers that happened to be in a relationship, but it's still a relationship that's just proud..
Zhuge Shan did not want to see his innocent agenda being messed up by Tang Huaxu's insidious ways..
“Well, then, please take care of me.!”
When Zhuge Mountain laughed, Mo Liwon also laughed heartily..
Danghwaseo clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and then nodded..
It is undeniable that the more allies you have, the better..
So, the three men and women created a warm atmosphere by promising to travel together at the top of Mt. Hwangsan..
The moment to leave was approaching..
*
Manor of the Namgung family.
In the middle of the training hall, there was a man sitting cross-legged and meditating..
He was a handsome man with a sharp look..
A cold blue energy wave was swirling around him, and all areas it touched were weighed down heavily..
Namgung Jincheon, it was him..
He was thinking about the question that had been inside him ever since the day of the finals..
‘what was the problem.’
Where did it go wrong?.
Namgung Jincheon continued his thoughts..
I reflected on that day's dance, reflected on my own life, and reflected on Mokriwon..
‘if….’
reminds me of home.
‘…If only I had given my all from the first move in that match. If you pressed down before the mukryong could resist,.’
The result would have been different.
Whatever his talent as a swordsman, it is clear that he is superior in his weight class..
‘If only I hadn’t fallen for Mukryong’s provocation..’
If only I had not responded to the provocations of Muk-ryong, who was in complete disrepair, and had pressed him down the whole time..
Even so, the results would have been different..
No, everything would have been different before that..
Namgung Jincheon then thought about himself..
‘I thought it was a blueprint.’
I thought that the path suggested by this royal star was the most perfect path..
No matter the speed, I thought that if I just followed this path, I would be able to reach the highest level..
But what is the reality like?.
‘Wrong.’
The path led by the stars is wrong.
There was no perfection.
There was no supremacy.
The star gave me only one thing.
‘Oman.’
I was arrogant.
I was clueless.
It was unethical.
In the end it was one.
‘I guess I was a frog in the well.’
I decided to admit that fact..
Namgung Jincheon faced a feeling of defeat that was tying his neck..
I reached out and grabbed it..
and twisted.
‘The river is wide.’
As I recall the words of my grandfather, the King of Swords, a wave of energy stirs..
‘The enemy is strong.’
When I thought of Mo Ri-won's sword, the energy wave calmed down..
The pressure disappears from the air waves..
The arrogance of the man who just liked to show off and take pictures has diminished..
Rudeness is reduced.
One is added to the empty space.
‘hasn't shown anything yet.’
The words Mok Ri-won said on the off-stage, the emotions contained in those words, the spirit.
The spirit of winning increases.
Namgung Jincheon opened his eyes..
The cold blue wall was emitting a light that had never been seen before..
“It's time.”
Namgung Jincheon stood up..
And then I left the training hall and headed to the main house of the manor..
Those who encountered Namgung Jincheon on the street lowered their heads in surprise at his different expression from before..
At the main house, which he arrived at with all the reverence of those present, Namgung Jincheon faced the sword king Namgunghyeok..
“The business is.”
Namgung Jincheon knelt down..
“I want to learn.”
For the first time in my life, I said those words..
Namgoonghyuk raised his eyebrows and asked as if he was interested..
“what?”
“sword.”
Namgung Jincheon looked at his grandfather..
The Absolute One who was once considered the best swordsman in this world was there..
“I want to learn the King's Sword.”
The sword dragon Namgung Jincheon asked to learn..
to bring the snake to its knees.
To become the greatest frog.
To get to the position you deserve.
“Please tell me the type of emperor sword (？王？？).”
Only then did he step out of the well of arrogance..
*
Who are the people who control this central plutocracy?.
If you asked that question to a person in the middle of nowhere, the answer would be 100..
The top of the world (？下)？？）.
The answer was the undisputed top team in the midfield, having never stepped down from the top spot in nearly 15 years..
There was no business that the Heavenly Sangdan did not reach out to..
Also, there was no place left untouched..
The same goes for the Yongbong branch here in Anhui..
There was clearly a place where their touch touched the brilliantly held festival of martial arts people..
A huge branch of the top of the world that can be reached by horseback for about two days from Seohyeon..
There was a monk who entered the manor who supported this Yongbong branch..
It was Seonryong Hyeon-gong, a man with an impressive emptiness and a weak appearance..
As soon as the branch guards spotted him, they lowered their heads..
Hyeon-gong accepted them as a matter of course and headed toward the main house..
Suddenly.
When the door to the main house was opened, there was a terrible scent wafting out..
It was a scent so strong that it made me dizzy the moment I smelled it, and it was also a scent that made me feel hot inside for some reason..
For a moment, Hyeonggong’s brow furrowed..
This was because I already knew that the scent coming from this room was caused by drugs..
It only takes a moment to let out your frustration.
Hyeon-gong calmed his expression and wrapped a ki wave around his body..
And headed deep into the main house..
“…Did you come?.”
A voice like the howl of an animal echoed in the space..
At that moment, Duke Hyeon knelt down and bowed his head..
There was a man there.
Hair that is messy and tangled.
Naked with no clothes to be found.
And even the hazy, open eyes.
The man said as he looked down at Hyeon-gong with the naked women around him..
“Did you find it??”
“yes.”
“name is?”
“This is Mokriwon. In this episode, he was given the nickname Mukryong (???).”
It's Mokriwon..
The man who mumbled that looked blankly at the ceiling..
“Selling is also good..”
Hyeonggong just bowed his head..
don't ask anything.
That is because it is the most basic etiquette that Hyeon-gong has learned since he was a newborn..
The man continued to purse his lips and mumble something..
He continued to do so for a long time, as if he was lost in thought..
And only at the end did I open my mouth..
“…I guess I have to move slowly..”
The man raised his hand and placed it on the head of the woman who was hugging her waist..
Phuwak!
The woman's head exploded.
Even though blood was pouring down like a fountain and chunks of meat were decorating the space, no one present paid any attention..
It was natural.
Except for the man and Hyeon-gong, all the women are courtesans somewhere..
Those who did not know that they were martial arts had already lost their sense of humor due to the drugs that filled the room..
“Get ready.”
The man swept his head and wiped away the blood..
Then his eyes, which had been hidden between his hair until the day before yesterday, were revealed..
The pupil, which was dark red and cloudy, resembled dried blood for some reason..
“I need to get the stolen star back.”
Hearing the man's muttering, Hyeonggong put his forehead on the floor..
Immediately afterwards, the midfielder shouted in a loud voice that had never been raised before..
“Heavenly Demon Reign, Manmaangbok!”
There was awe in his voice..
“I accept the orders of the Lord Sogyo..”
Hyeongong finally felt that his long wait was over..
Now everything will change.
Those who have been mired in peace since the bloody death will once again realize what kind of place this powerhouse is..
Murim will return to its origins (?).
peace is over.
