< Episode 106: Ritual of the Three Vessels (2) >
Jang Neungak Hui Zhou’s second disciple shouted loudly.
“The heir of Wolmaek is here!”
The shouting was almost over.
The road opened in two directions from the crowd other than the Grand Duke Nayuliang and the forces of the ley line and someone appeared.
Everyone’s eyes turned there at once.
“Who is he?”
“I’m the disciple that the Lord of Amjong said he received.”
“That guy is clearly a political faction hostage….”
There was a stir at the sudden appearance of Mok Gyeong-un here and there.
It was a moment that no one expected.
“How?”
Mo Yak who was next to Grand Duke Lu Liang could not hide his embarrassment.
How did this happen?
Didn’t Yulmyeong the messenger from the Presbyterian War boast that he would deal with Mokgyeongun with all the power he could muster?
But how did the author get here?
Moreover if you look at his clothes or appearance there is not even a trace of injury.
no way?
‘Is that possible?’
No matter how many walls you overcome does it make sense to face such a force without even a scratch?
Mo Yak looked up at Na Yu-ryang next to him and said.
“Ball… Ah?”
For a moment she was speechless.
She had seen me Yulyang in an uncomfortable state quite a few times but this was the first time she had seen her face frozen like this.
Na Yu-ryang’s gaze towards Mok Gyeong-un had extremely complex emotions.
As she suspected Na Yu-ryang was in a state of inner discomfort at the fact that Mok Kyung-un had appeared here safely.
But there was something that bothered him more than that.
‘Wolmaek?’
What does this mean Wolmaek?
The Wolmaek he knew were called a clan that was impossible to revive because not only was the entire clan wiped out over a hundred years ago but even the remaining secret books were cursed and the number of people who touched them lost their lives in countless numbers.
But now why did that guy Jang Neung-ak introduce Mo Kyung-un as Wolmaek’s successor?
‘What is your intention?’
Although he was quick to judge the situation and had deep insight he could not understand this situation at all.
Mok Gyeong-un said he was strong but he was not the main character here.
His role was to help the second-born Jang Neung-ak or the youngest Wi So-yeon so that one of them could defeat him and become a candidate for succession.
But now that guy Jang Neungak was doing it in reverse.
Do you really want to say that Mo Kyung-un is Wolmaek’s successor?
“Wolmac?”
Yang Jeong the head of the land vein frowned.
This was something that had not been discussed at all with Hoeju in advance.
No in the first place the moon vein was a vein that disappeared a long time ago so it is out of the question.
‘It’s beautiful.’
Even though he was a man he had a truly handsome face.
Her face was so beautiful that if she dressed it up well she could look like a woman but what on earth does that young Sojongjae mean by saying he is Wolmaek’s successor?
Among Hui Zhou’s disciples Jang Neungak is known to be good at trickery.
But I don’t really know the intention.
He would rather have come forward to participate in the ceremony of the three veins as the successor to the Heavenly Vessel. Why did he bring in a third person claiming to be the successor to the disappeared Wolverine?
‘Hoeju.’
In the end Yang Jeong the head of the ley line raised his head and looked at Hoeju with eyes that he could not understand.
Is it true that a situation like this was included in your plan?
Or is it an unexpected situation that even you could not have predicted?
‘….’
At that time Yang Jeong’s eyes narrowed.
Naturally there was a stir here and there when he was told that he was Wolmaek’s successor but in reality Hoeju’s expression did not change much.
Looking at his reaction it seems as if he had predicted this situation to some extent?
‘Did you know?’
Of course that wasn’t exactly the case.
Hoeju was also impressed by the sight of Mok Gyeong-un stepping forward as Wolmaek’s successor.
However unlike others the reason he was not very surprised was because he knew from the beginning that a hostage of the political faction named Mok Gyeong-un had taken over Wolmaek’s dynasty and it was he who prevented this information from being made public.
‘That’s unfortunate.’
But he showed himself.
That too at a time when the Sammaek ritual was about to be performed.
At this Huaiju clicked his tongue.
Maybe it was a set procedure.
“Hoeju.”
At that time Vice Lord Meng Xiaoqian approached and said as if he was embarrassed pointing with his eyes at Mo Qingyun who had appeared from the crowd.
“What should I do? “I don’t know how he found out about this but it seems like Confucius Jang Neung-ak did it arbitrarily so we stopped him from coming forward…”
“Leave it alone.”
“yes?”
“There is no way that a will imbued with ghosts would let this good opportunity pass by.”
‘A will imbued with a ghost?’
What does this mean again?
Is that kid Mok Gyeong-un saying this because he has learned the secret level of the cursed Wolmaek that no one has learned before?
I was puzzled by Hoeju’s incomprehensible words.
At that time the voice of Grand Duke Na Yu-ryang resonated loudly in the square in front of the headquarters.
“Na Yulyang the successor to Cheonmaek’s martial arts wants to participate in the ceremony of the three maeks.”
The audience could not help but be amazed by his resonant voice.
It is said that the inaction of Grand Duke Na Yulyang was comparable to that of the Eight Stars among the five kings and it was indeed a famous legend.
Na Yul-ryang who indirectly revealed what level he had reached with his genuine energy in his voice put his hands together and gave a bow to Yang Jeong the head of the ley line.
This clearly showed the will to perform the Sammaek ritual.
‘You are indeed an archduke. okay. It has to come out like that.’
Yang Jeong the head of the Ji-maek family also gave the Po-gwon ji-rye.
From the time he spoke with Lord Hoe in advance he had guessed that Grand Duke Na Yu-ryang would not easily give up his right to succession.
If so it was actually good.
Rather than just blindly handing over the right of succession to the head of the family it was much more beneficial for him to have the next successor participate in the Sammaek ritual on his own.
But on the other hand
“I acknowledge the participation of Confucius Nayuliang of the Cheonmaek but on what grounds can you convince me that the young Sojongje is the successor of the Wolmaek?”
In response to his question Mok Gyeong-un quietly put his hand to the sword of the evil sword at his waist.
Mok Gyeong-un spoke in a loud voice as he held the sword in his hand.
-at las. It’s time.
-okay. rebirth.
The young man’s voice trembled as he answered.
She was the one who had been waiting for this moment.
A hundred years ago she was robbed of everything she had by Big Heon the head of the Cheonmae family and became her vengeful spirit.
As the first and last head of the Cheonjiwolhoe (天地月會) she intended to regain her honor and everything she had lost.
And now was the beginning.
-Sreung!
Mok Gyeong-un pulled out the magic sword Akje.
-Ooooooooo!
The moment the sword was drawn the evil spirit’s unique voice erupted sending shivers down the spine of those watching.
“Is that the evil sword?”
“The energy flowing from the sword is truly magical.”
“Even so it is a famous sword. The anticipation I feel from the sword is not normal.
Those with a high reputation as swordsmen in the Cheonjihoe showed interest in seeing the magic sword.
As a swordsman no matter how magical the sword was there was no one who would not be captivated by the sword made by the best craftsman Gu Ya-ja.
-Sigh!
Mok Gyeong-un soon took the initiative.
Then he slowly drew a path with his sword.
Everyone who saw the trajectory thought of the full moon floating in the night sky.
The path was so clean that some people who saw it automatically opened their mouths.
This was especially true for swordsmen with high military status.
The moment they saw this trajectory slowly drawn by Mo Gyeong-un they couldn’t help but gasp.
It was a very simple path but it was so perfect that no gaps or gaps were visible.
‘also….’
Cheongnyeong also watched this and couldn’t help but admire her.
Even when he first showed his swordsmanship of Wolmaek Mok Gyeong-un embodied it as his own at a glance.
But it was just a simple movement.
Mok Gyeong-un who properly uses herbivores rather than abbreviations has already surpassed his own by a long way in terms of his swordsmanship.
On the contrary I was just thankful that it had become even more perfect in Mok Gyeong-un’s hands.
-Wow!
Exclamations of exclamation flowed from all over the place as Mok Gyeong-un continued to hear the sword.
“This can’t be right.”
“How can Geomcho be so beautiful?”
“This geomcho…”
Those who were looking at this with admiration could not help but be surprised.
As expected the swordsmanship used by Mok Gyeong-un was similar to Cheonmaek’s swordsmanship but it was clearly different from it.
‘…It must be Wolmaek’s swordsmanship.’
Yang Jeong the head of the ley line also had no choice but to internally admit this.
The three veins derived from one root had a structure that was bound to be similar to herbivorous even if the texture of the sword was different but the swordsik that Mok Gyeong-un was now performing was so outstanding in its conception that it could make even people who saw it for the first time think of the moon.
hereto
“stop!”
Yang Jeong the head of the ley line shouted at them to stop.
In the middle of unfolding half of the sword Mo Kyung-un stopped and looked at him.
Then Yang Jeong put his hands together and made a bow and said.
“There is no denying that he is the successor to Yue Mac’s martial arts. “I Yang Jeong recognize you as Wolmaek’s successor.”
-Roaring!
The surroundings were shaken by his cries.
Although he was accepted as a disciple of the Amjongju there were many people in the society who still regarded Mok Gyeong-un as a pawn of the political faction.
I couldn’t help but be surprised that he was recognized as the successor to the Wolmaek by one of the three veins the Jimaek.
In the midst of this Yang Jeong’s lieutenant the head of the ley line whispered.
“Even if it is recognized as a Wolmaek why did you stop it? house owner.”
“Is there any point in defeating an opponent who has shown all his strength and his entire base before even performing the ritual of the three maeks?”
“No matter how much it is…”
“stop. “Of course it is meaningful to beat a perfect opponent.”
This was the reason why Yang Jeong the head of the ley line stopped Mo Gyeong-un from spreading his sword in the middle.
It wasn’t by ignoring him or being quick to admit it.
I just wanted equal conditions to the point where I was at a loss for words.
Seeing him like this Moyak let out a sigh.
‘I hoped the ley lineage head would not acknowledge it.’
There was nothing left to do.
No he may have already known that Hoeju who had said in the first place that he should bring out the consciousness of the three veins first and give other veins a chance also turned a blind eye to the appearance of Mok Gyeong-un.
-closely!
Moyak bit his lip and looked at Prince Na Yuliang.
Even before Mo Gyeong-un appeared the only hope was to participate in the ritual of the three veins and suppress the head of the three veins.
But the situation took a turn for the worst.
No matter how much he cheered for his lord Na Yulyang he could not predict his victory because he had already experienced Mok Gyeong-un’s monstrous inaction.
however
-closely!
Grand Duke Na Yulyang’s fists seemed to be gaining strength.
Even his eyes were still full of fighting spirit.
Moyak saw this and felt embarrassed for a moment.
The master did not give up but I thought it was a battle I had no chance of winning so I almost advised him to retreat.
Then there was only one thing he had to do:
It was to create a situation in which Na Yulyang had an advantage even if only slightly.
“Please stop for a moment!”
Moyak came forward and shouted.
At this all eyes turned to her.
The sight of her with her hair down and her breasts sticking out widened the eyes of some of her or members of the Yulryang faction who knew her as her man.
Either way she shouted regardless.
“The Lord said that we should give other veins a chance through the ritual of the three veins but no matter how much we say that this is absurd.”
“Is this nonsense?”
Yang Jeong the head of the ley line raised one of her eyebrows.
She herself acknowledged him as the successor to Wolmaek so why is this girl interfering like this?
Yang Jeong said in a cold voice.
“It’s not for young Soger to get involved.”
“I apologize for causing you any inconvenience. “Even if you are going to perform the Sammaek ceremony I think you need to meet the minimum qualifications.”
“Minimum qualifications? What are you talking about? “More than this…”
“The ceremony of Sammaek is not simply for discussing martial arts. This is the place to decide the head of this meeting. “If you decide that such a position is simply due to inaction how can you lead the society?”
“What do you want to say?”
“Even if he was a martial artist of the Moon Vessel unlike the head of the Yangjeong family who leads the Ji Vessel or Confucius Nayulryang of the Cheon Veil whom I serve he is a pawn of the original political faction.”
“….”
At her words Yang Jeong also looked at her with his mouth shut as if he had lost interest.
Moyak did not miss her opportunity and continued what she was saying.
“Of course it is said that Lord Amjong one of the three sects received him as a disciple but if a person who was a hostage of a political faction without a proper foundation in this association were to participate in the Sammaek ceremony and become a successor just because he inherited the Wolmaek who would it be? Will you follow it properly?”
-Roaring!
Moyak’s words caused a stir everywhere.
This was because there were many people who agreed with what she said.
Regardless of his succession to Wolmaek or his inaction Mok Gyeong-un was an outsider and was held hostage.
What foundation does such a person have to lead the Heaven and Earth Association?
‘it’s okay.’
As her reaction gradually spread she let out an inner joy.
If he were to do nothing the most advantageous thing would be tree cultivation but leading an organization was not a matter of just that alone.
‘You have to push hard.’
This was an opportunity to prevent Mok Gyeong-un from participating in Sammaek’s ritual.
It was right then.
“Hehehe. “It’s really interesting that you say that Nobu’s disciples lack a foundation.”
‘!?’
Everyone’s eyes turned to a voice filled with genuine energy.
A middle-aged man who appeared to be in his late forties was standing there with his back to him.
The moment they saw him everyone was amazed.
Even so there was one person who recently went beyond the wall and whose transformation spread throughout the organization.
The King of Seomdok died.
