< Episode 101 Sudden Change (3) >
There was an alluring looking woman massaging someone’s leg while wearing clothes so revealing that her cleavage was visible.
Her name is Ha Chae-rin.
She was the successor to Bisalmun at the time and the one who would inherit the title of Bisal Yeomgaek one of the four great assassins.
Why is she doing this here?
‘Damn it.’
Ha Chae-rin cursed in her mind dozens no hundreds of times.
If she had chosen someone else as the final target of 100 Days 100 Kills (百日 100 Kills) she would have been crowned Munju long ago.
But she failed to live 101 hundred years.
Moreover she had lost all of her memories since her softwood sword.
She still didn’t even know why she happened to be here at the Heaven and Earth Association.
‘…Can she get out of here?’
She was honestly hopeless.
No matter how much she was said to be the successor to the title of the Four Great Salsu this was the Cheonjihoe one of the three great powers that divided the current martial arts world.
And she was a disciple of Huiju the man who ruled this huge force whose legs she was massaging.
‘Should we be content with clinging to her life?’
With her anger and pride this was a situation she could not tolerate.
If this damn bastard wasn’t a disciple of the Lord of Heaven and Earth she would have tried to get out by poisoning assassinating or whatever.
however
“Hmm. “Can’t I knead it properly?”
“Nenet!”
‘Ugh.’
She was honestly scared.
After running away and resisting several times she was slapped by the man’s hands until her facial bones were almost crushed.
After repeating it a few times I became so scared that I would reflexively flinch even if I raised my hand.
Seeing her becoming obedient like this her second Confucius Jang Neung or rather Go Chan who possessed his body grinned and laughed.
It was something I would live to see for a very long time.
Even when I saw her again at her Yeonmok Sword Shop after her retirement I thought everything about her had gone wrong.
But now her position has completely reversed.
The successor who will inherit the title of one of the greatest assassins in the world is now a retired assassin from Bisalmun who is now rubbing his legs and looking at his opinions.
‘Hehehe. It’s just Saeongjima (塞翁之馬).’
As expected I didn’t know what would happen in the world.
Thanks to the owner Mok Gyeong-un it was worthwhile to possess that woman’s body and do all kinds of bad things.
It was a moment when she was satisfying herself by pampering her like that.
-Ugh!
At that moment the space shook a door made of smoke opened and soon someone rushed in.
It was a girl with short hair and a cute appearance wearing a robber’s outfit.
As soon as Gochan saw her he immediately recognized who it was.
“Yeosu-rin?”
Yeosu-rin.
She was a disciple of Haeseon-gak (諧仙閣) Jeokmi Seon-seon (赤眉老仙) and was sent under the orders of her teacher.
She made a contract with Mok Gyeong-un and she was the one who controlled Seo-ok a Wonsal gakju who had become a ghost in her lifetime through the technique of Six Person Necromancy (Six Person Necromancy) and was managing Wonsal Gak.
How did she suddenly appear here even using her magic?
“Are you… hurt?”
Gochan got up in surprise and asked.
She appeared to be injured as her face was pale and blood was smeared on her shoulders and abdomen.
Then she insisted.
“Get back!”
“what?”
At the same time Yeosu Rin hurriedly kicked her Noble Phantasm and spun in a circle with her hand.
Then the door made of smoke quickly closed and disappeared.
When this was completely gone she collapsed onto the floor breathing heavily.
“Haa…haa….”
“no. “What on earth happened to make you look like this?”
“I’m in big trouble.”
“Is it a big deal?”
“I found out that Wonsalgakju had become a living ghost.”
“What? Is that really true? Or rather who on earth caught you?”
Didn’t she say that unless she was at least an expert at the level of a Japanese or something else she wouldn’t be caught?
I was puzzled but Yeo Su-rin answered in a serious voice.
“I don’t know. “It was a monster so great that it destroyed my magic in an instant with just its main force.”
“…I don’t know exactly but you’re saying it’s amazing right?”
“It’s just not that great. perhaps….”
“perhaps?”
“It may be a Bangshin (方神) or a radiant close to it. “How could there be that much radiation here… Ugh.”
Gochan hurriedly helped Yeosu Rin up as she was about to fall.
Then she asked him.
“Confucius of wood… What about Confucius of wood?”
“Not yet.”
Gochan shook his head and answered.
He also didn’t know exactly where Mo Kyung-un was or when he would return.
The young man suddenly informed me of the purpose of his absence but that was all.
“Can’t we find Confucius?”
“…What are you doing to those who made it to the opening?”
Of course since he is a food spirit and has a connection he can find it if he decides to but now the distance is so far away that he cannot pinpoint its exact location.
One thing was certain: the fact that the food spirit himself was fine meant that Mok Gyeong-un was also fine.
“Ah that’s a big deal. “If he had the level of martial arts skills he would definitely try to track him down.”
Gochan asked in response to her concerns.
“In reverse? Are you saying that the master might be in danger?”
Yeo Su-rin answered Go Chan’s question with a meaningful voice.
“…If the other person is truly a radiant who has reached the level of a deity not only the woodworker but all of us may be in danger.”
* * *
15 days after that
Meanwhile within the Cheonjihoe a period of rapid change was unfolding.
The biggest incident occurred three days ago when rumors spread that Hoeju who had been in bed was in such bad condition that he even lost consciousness.
Normally if such a rumor showed signs of spreading Hoeju’s direct team and intelligence unit would quickly move to block it in advance.
But this time was different.
There were too many people who witnessed the assemblyman coming and going from time to time at the Naeseong headquarters where Hoeju’s residence was located.
Even though he was in a hospital bed he was not even visited by doctors.
However if the situation was such that a member of the National Assembly was coming and going the details of the meeting may have reached its worst.
This rumor spread quickly throughout the society and as a result the inside of the society was rapidly becoming chaotic.
Those who had remained firmly neutral until now were also moving.
Since this happened in a situation where the successor was not clearly decided this internal movement may have been a natural progression.
In this situation like the illness of the head of the society there was an incident that caused an uproar within the society knowingly or unknowingly.
It was the anger of King Pabu Ho Taekang.
As expected an incident occurred in which his son Ho Jong-hyuk the great leader of the Bucheoldan was murdered.
The son of King Pabu who was none other than a member of the Five Kings the highest executive of the council and a member of the Palseong the highest priest of the current martial arts world died.
Naturally the inside of the meeting was bound to turn upside down.
But another problem arose here.
It was already a big case but the likely culprit was none other than Woo Ho-rang the great disciple of Myeongdo King Son Yun.
The cause of death left on the body of Ho Jong-hyuk was a trace of the Super Ascension method.
And that Taoheun was none other than Myeongil Dobeop the German literary feast of Myeongdo King Son Yun.
King Ho Taekang who confirmed this without the slightest hesitation pointed out Woo Horang a disciple of Myeongdo King Son Yun as the culprit.
[It is not King Myeongdo himself. If it were him he would have cut this kid down within three seconds. Then the only person who can kill this child is him.]
He was considered a Wu Tiger a member of the same Five Tigers.
It wasn’t a lobe gland or anything like that.
He couldn’t kill his own child with such inaction.
Convinced that Woo Horang was the culprit King Pabu Ho Tae-gang went straight to Myeongdo King Son Yun to kill Woo Horang which resulted in a violent clash between the two.
If Huizu’s two disciples Jang Neung-ak and Wi So-yeon had not intervened King Hao Taekang would have come to an end.
[Please believe me. I am truly innocent.]
Of course it was great that Woo Ho-rang who was pointed out as the culprit also came forward and gave an explanation to him.
Ho Tae-gang came to kill him out of anger but when he regained his composure he too was shocked by the death of his child Ho Jong-hyuk.
Obviously that Dao Heun was a master of the Myeong Il Dao Law but there was certainly no justification or reason for Woo Tiger to kill him.
It might have been known before the eldest child Jang Neung-ak and the youngest Wi So-yeon formed an alliance but not now.
furthermore
‘…It’s completely intentional.’
The act of leaving marks itself was full of impure intentions.
Since it happened inside the association it was something that had to be kept hidden so that no one would know who the culprit was.
Because of this King Pabu Ho Taekang returned obediently.
No exactly
[In return I will receive the index finger of my right hand.]
In the end he cut off one of Woo Ho-rang’s fingers and took it with him.
Son Yun the King of Myeongdo tried to stop this by going on a rampage but he could not help it when King Ho Tae-gang a member of the Palseong family made up his mind.
No Woohorang himself cut off his finger so the fight was bound to end in a lull.
However due to this King Ho Tae-gang and King Myeong-do Son Yun completely turned their backs on the king and the aftermath led to the breakup of the alliance between Jang Neung-ak and Wi So-yeon.
* * *
Gi Ok-ryeon the eldest daughter of Yangam Gokju Gi-hae who can be said to be a close associate of So-yeon above her spoke to her in a somewhat sad tone.
“…It’s good to cheat. Miss did you really need to cut off the index finger of Great Master Wu’s right hand? “For a thief the index finger is…”
“You have to be satisfied with this. Okryeon.”
“one….”
“Originally I should have cut about my arm. But King Pabu held back his anger and made concessions.”
“You controlled your anger?”
“okay. If it was what the enemy intended they should have done at least that much. Only then…”
“Because the person who caused this situation will be deceived?”
“that’s right. However King Fabu didn’t like the idea of falling for the enemy’s trick and he thought it was too much to cut off the arm of Great Master Wu even though he wasn’t the real culprit so he ended up like this.”
“…okay.”
Gi Ok-ryeon sighed.
She clearly understood but she felt sorry for her because she loved Woo Ho-rang.
In order to reveal who the enemy was he cut off Brother Wu’s index finger and even acted to break the alliance.
“Will the criminal act as we intended?”
“I don’t know. As I said before if you cut off at least an arm and showed that King Myeongdo and King Pabu fought fiercely to the point where someone got hurt I’m not sure if the Great Brother would be fooled to this extent.”
The person they all considered to be the real culprit was the archduke Na Yu-ryang.
In the fight between King Pabu and King Myeongdo he was the only one who benefited the most.
Therefore they resolved the issue through dialogue but to some extent they cut off Woo Horang’s finger for show and officially broke off the alliance.
“Prince Nayuliang will also contact King Pabu right?”
“Maybe so.”
Even though he was angry at the loss of his child it was King Ho Tae-gang who was unable to take revenge and had to be satisfied with just one finger.
Of course Na Yuliang had to contact him.
That way it will be easier to bring them under your control.
If the Grand Duke contacted him in that way King Pabu Ho Taekang planned to go under him and implement a hard-and-fast strategy.
but
‘…The variable is that Master’s illness has deepened.’
Suddenly the Archduke who had been active ever since the rumor that his master was in critical condition stopped moving.
And that was almost three days.
It was unbecoming of an archduke.
He assumed that being so clever as he was he would be able to figure out their plan but being this quiet made him uneasy.
If Master really dies at a time like this the situation will get out of hand.
“ha….”
Wei So-yeon let out a deep sigh.
frustrated.
What would he have done if he had been there?
If I had him at a time like this I would have been reassured and comforted no matter what happened but it was extremely bitter.
Where on earth has he disappeared to?
According to what I was told by Vice President it looks like he was away for a confidential mission but it is taking too long.
What kind of mission is he on?
I was worried that something might happen outside of the club.
‘Cultivation….’
That was when she was missing her neck tillage inside her.
At that time someone hurriedly knocked on the door.
-Thump thump!
“miss!”
It was the voice of Yang Il the fire chief of Chohae Sword Bang.
Wei So-yeon seemed anxious at the urgent sound of his voice and frowned as she spoke.
“Please come in.”
At this Yang Il opened the door and came in calming his rough breathing as he came in a hurry.
But even though he came in a hurry his expression wasn’t that bad.
I was puzzled by this but Yang Il said:
“miss. “Mok-gyeong or rather Mok-gongja has appeared.”
‘!!!!!!’
She seemed to have forgotten her dignity as she sat there holding her teacup and without even realizing it she jumped up from her seat.
