Chapter 236 – Martial Arts District (31)

***

The subjugation of the Moyong family is over.

Some key disciples, including the head of the house, Mo Yong-hui, ran away, but that was all.

A huge family called the Five Greats collapsed overnight.

Right.

“Still, the damage was too great.”

When the Sword King placed a white stone on the board and said, the old beggar clicked his tongue and replied.

“Eh! That’s enough, what more do you want? I finished it before the Apostles moved, so it’s a good thing.”

The Sword King muttered bitterly.

“In the end, one of the pillars of the political faction disappeared. Good..”

The king raised one eyebrow and shouted.

“Get rid of that tasteless expression. Anyway, the male goongs… The young guys have grown up quite well this time, so if you think positively, isn’t it enough!”

The sword king’s expression also relaxed.

“…I think that’s fortunate too. I was proud to see the children who made their name this time. The future of the political faction is bright.”

“I heard that little Eunlim is good at swords. Did you see it?”

“I saw you from afar. Great. Perhaps the next swordsman will be that child.”

Right. Right.

“There was someone who could be used in the fortune teller group…”

The checkerboard is getting full. At the same time, the old beggar’s expression grew crumpled.

He said while thinking about holding a Go egg.

“What is it. Ten thousand, ten thousand… I heard that old festivals also appeared?”

Namgung Moo-hyeok, who had been watching quietly in the corner, spoke cautiously.

“It is said that a woman named Dang Hwa-rin brought Man Cheon Hwa-woo back to life. She even got the nickname Amhwa (暗花).”

“Yeah, mancheonhwawoo! I mean, that’s so amazing. How did she hide a thousand of her secrets in her tiny body? Are you doing this?”

The old beggar snapped his fingers. The go ball, which had internal energy, flew like a flash battle. Towards the center of the checkerboard, which had a complex shape.

Widely.

The Sword King swung his hand. He easily caught the flying go ball as if he had memorized it.

“Drink nonsense. I won.”

“Eh tsk. Don’t do it Go play yourself.”

The old man frowned and looked away.

“You damn bastard! Where did you go and what did you do when those kids were so active! Huh?!”

Namgung Muhyuk, who was kneeling down, flinched. He bowed his head and apologized.

“Ugh… I’m sorry! I became a hostage through foolish behavior and caused great trouble!”

The Sword King, who glanced at his grandson, said.

“When you go back to your family, practice for three years.”

“···Yes! I’m really sorry. We will never let this happen again.”

Said the old beggar, clicking his tongue.

“Anyway, you damn bastard. Ever since I was young, luck is incredibly good. Caught by the Blood Church and then coming back alive. You should know that heaven helped!”

Namgung Muhyuk lowered his head with a depressed face.

“Yes… I’m really sorry.”

“Young guys are full of blood, so they get rid of it. When I was your age…”

Even when the hot tea cooled down, the nagging did not end.

The Sword King sighed.

“In moderation. Since we also missed Mo Yong-hwi, we are not in a position to say anything.”

Surprised, Muhyuk Namgung shouted.

“Oh, no. Didn’t Mo Yonghui run away by sacrificing his family in a mean way?”

“I already knew they had the Ascendant. So it’s all our fault.”

The old beggar shouted at the Sword King’s self-reproach.

“Eh! Who knew they’d have so many Ascendants? As a group, they are attacking the Ascendant and committing suicide. What should we do? It’s fortunate that the punitive force survived intact.”

When Geolwang spat and shouted, Namgung Moo-hyeok was taken aback. It would be a big disappointment if the two of them got into a fight because of him.

I hurriedly changed the subject. There was something I was thinking about.

“Oh, old man! Could you please see if there is something wrong with my heart?”

“…Would you like me to see if there is a problem with your heart?”

“Yes. I have a little bit of work to do.”
“Hmm..”

The Sword King lightly stretched out his hand.

Internal power was fired in the form of a jipoong. Namgung Moo-hyeok circled his body once and came back.

“Is there anything wrong?”

“Haha. Is it too? Fortunately, the.”

“What is it?”

Namgung Moo-hyuk’s face hardened slightly. He felt strangely uncomfortable when he remembered the four-day inspection. He was reluctant just to think of him.

Especially..

The words of Chung Yoo-hwa kept coming back to my mind.

-He’s a really great soldier…

Words of acknowledgment of another man from her lips. The sincere expression on his face was never forgotten. Displeasure crept up.

‘No.’

He shook his head, dispelling useless thoughts.

He said with an awkward smile.

“No big deal. Sorry for bothering you.”

“Hmm.. Muhyuk-ah. It’s okay, so tell me. Do you really want to leave out just because you have something to hide from your family?”

“Ahaha… It’s really nothing. It’s just that the person called the four-day inspection said that my heart was abnormal…”

“Day check?”

The hesitant Sword King stretched out his hand.

“If it is a four-day inspection, isn’t it the equipment that has risen to the Hwagyeong this time? If it’s what he said, he can’t hear it. Muhyuk-ah, come here. I will have to look again.”

I put my hand on his wrist and looked at him seriously. He closed his eyes and concentrated.

“Ummm..”

How much time has passed Suddenly, the sword king’s complexion hardened. He said to the king with his darkened face.

“This is not easy. Could you please look at it?”

“Huh? Isn’t it easy?”

The old beggar, sipping tea, snapped his hand.

“Come and see. I will watch.”
“···Yes.”

It was the same with the King. After concentrating for a while, I stopped. He shook his head and his expression grew more serious.

“Right. It is not easy.”

“Yes?”

Namgoong Moo-hyuk was taken aback. My mouth went dry at the darkened expressions of the elderly.

Besides, if it was Geolwang, he was a being with excellent medical skills to the point of being called Shinui. Still saying it’s not easy?

When swallowing dry saliva. The King of Gul clicked his tongue.

“Explain in detail. What did he say?”

“That…He said he suddenly smelled blood from his heart.”

“The smell of blood? Did you just notice it just by looking at it? This?”

The King’s face crumpled. Namgung Moo-hyeok, who had been watching her, nodded her head.

“Yes.. It is true.”

The Sword King and the Geol King exchanged glances. Their expressions darkened.

The old beggar shook his head and said as if he was dumbfounded.

“The little guy is great. It was already beyond my senses.”

Muhyuk Namgung, startled, shouted involuntarily.

“No, that is nonsense! How old are you?”

“He is a great young man. It might catch up sooner or later.”

Even the sword king exclaimed in admiration, and Namgung Muhyuk’s expression crumpled.

He couldn’t help but keep his mouth shut.

The king said with a smile.

“Keuhehe… Moo-hyeok said you were jealous. You will live long and see.”

“You are jealous! No!”

The Sword King shook his head.

“Moo Hyuk. It is natural to be jealous of someone who is superior to a human being. It’s not wrong, admit it and accept it. If you forcefully look away, it will cause trouble.”

“Thank you for your teaching.”

Namgoong Moo-hyeok shut his mouth. He wasn’t jealous. No, he was jealous, but something was subtly different.

Could it be because of the dream I had last time? Strangely, just looking at the daily inspection made me feel bad.

Instinctive annoyance. It was a feeling close to anxiety. But I couldn’t exactly explain.

The old beggar laughed and flicked his hand.

“Okay, let’s see the heart again. Shouldn’t this be settled first?”

“···Yes.”

Geolwang placed his palm on Namgung Muhyuk’s chest.

“It will hurt a little, so bear with it.”

Ugh!

The hot energy that rose like a flame permeated my heart.

“Turn it off..!?”

Namgoong Muhyuk widened his eyes. Unknowingly, I clenched my molars. Both of his hands were trembling.

It was worse than expected. My breath stopped, as if my heart had been torn to pieces.

“Big..”

He forcibly swallowed the blood that was rising up.

The short time felt excruciatingly long.

Chi profit…

Soon the room was full of burnt smell. It was because of the good spirits that arose from the hands of the king of geol.

How much time has passed

By the time Namgung Moo-hyeok’s mind was clouded by the pain that his bare skin was ripening.

The old beggar removed his palm.

“Cool..! Ugh.. Turn off, is it over..?”

The King didn’t answer. He just muttered with a darkened complexion.

“Oh, it’s worse than I thought…”

The old man, who had been thinking for a while, continued.

“Something like worms has settled in your heart. Maybe it’s the Blood Cult’s trick. The problem is that the worm is almost at one with the heart and there is no way to do it.”

“Yes? Isn’t that just killing me?”

The King shook his head slowly.

“…When I touched the insect, it glowed. Before killing the worm, the heart will first be torn to pieces. It is not easy..”

“That, what is that…”

“I’ll figure out what to do. Live as usual for the time being. Don’t let the Blood Religion find out about the bugs.”

***

At that time, the secret agent Cheongbong.

Upon arriving at the training room, Siwoo sat cross-legged.

Receive rewards for participating in the subjugation team, etc. He had work left to do in Liaoning, but he briefly returned to Qingfeng County.

‘It is more important to take care of the state.’

Regarding the compensation, he asked Cheong Yu-hwa and the famous elders of the fortune-telling group.

He closed his eyes and brought the palms of his hands to his chest. He was thinking of recalling the sensation of being on a flower bed.

Ugh!

As I uttered my will, the energy around me shook.

A natural guide full of heaven and earth. The massive Cheonjiwongi gathered in a spiral.

It was easier than I thought. A feeling once imprinted on it is not easily forgotten.

‘I’m glad.’

Whoops!

The energy gathered endlessly was compressed into a single point. It turned into a blue ball and vibrated.

It was the strong ring that Myo Il-hae used.

‘Shall I try it?’

I took out an iron ingot the size of a human torso from my inventory. It was an alloy so hard that even large monsters could not break it easily.

The blue orb between the palms moved slowly.

The moment he controlled the steel ball and brought it into contact with the iron ingot.

Psseuk.

It penetrated silently. The touched part disappeared as if it had been destroyed. He looked at the iron ingot with a hole in it and nodded.

It was a satisfying power.

‘Should I throw it?’

Kanghwan’s true power comes when the compressed energy explodes. It was literally a bomb made of steel.

I waved my hand while looking at the beads floating in the air. Even so, I couldn’t blow it up indoors.

The scattered energy slowly returned to its natural state.

‘This is done.’

The sense of dealing with nature seemed to be something I would slowly get used to.

Next, it was time to control the sensitive five senses and organs.

I closed my eyes as if meditating.

I used to have sensitive senses thanks to the Chloride Secret Technique, but as I climbed the Hwagyeong, it became stronger, to the point where it was hard to control.

How much time has passed

“Whoa..”

When I opened my eyes, I saw a clearer world.

I could feel the Cheongwol Seonja walking around outside the training room. I was hiding my presence, perhaps to avoid interfering, but it was clearly visible.

Her expression brightened as she approached the door.

Click.

“Ah..! Are you out?”

Like a dog waiting for its owner. She came running and hugged him.

She raised her head as she rubbed her cheek against her chest. She stared here and there on her face, she said.

“Seobang-nim, is there really no uncomfortable place? I’m worried that the level has risen so quickly…”

“Are you okay. Now that it’s stable, all you have to do is practice. Would you like to join us?”

“Soo, training..?”

Her thighs tightened. Heat began to form in her eyes.

I could smell the sweet scent of breast milk somewhere.
