Chapter 347 – Chapter 70 (2)

Her bsaldae, which attacked Hong Seol-rin’s back, grabbed the sword she wielded as her reverse for some reason and tried to stab her again.

Awesome!

At that time, Seo Yu-ran, who came out through the black and red smoke from the explosion, cut off the wrist of the non-soldier holding the short sword.

Despite being hit by an explosion at close range, she was in very good shape.

She instinctively sensed a sense of danger and spread the shield of her sword to block the impact of the explosion.

“Aww!!”

Hong Seol-rin, whose clothes were torn on her back, pushed her chin up with the palm of her hand and hit her chin with the help of Seo Yu-ran’s arc.

Push!

The blow caused her to fall helplessly as her less severed neck was ripped upwards.

“Ha… Ha… Ah…”

She didn’t move to the point of being greatly exhausted, but Hong Seol-lin, who took a deep breath from her sense of danger and fear that she had been struck by a sword with strong poison that killed the warriors of Northern Heavenly Palace instantly, pulled her arm back and covered her area that had been attacked. Touched

Inside the torn clothes, the black chain clothes were maintained in good shape.

“Huh…”

Hong Seol-lin, who had confirmed with her hand that the shape of her chain clothes had not been broken, let out a sigh of relief as she slashed her own spear, which had not been blown away by the impact of her explosion thanks to being lodged in the ground. Recovered.

Doo doo doo doo—

At that time, she was able to spot a group of warriors running with torches from the direction of the northern palace.

“These bastards! How dare you attack from the northern celestial palace!”
“I’ll kill everyone!”
“Whoa, reinforcements!”
“Live!”

The warriors of Bukcheongung, who confirmed that they were reinforcements, turned bright.

‘Damn it! If only it wasn’t for that bitch!’

The executive of the Pacheonhoe, who was conducting in hiding, glared at Seo Yu-ran.

Although her support came faster than she had planned, she could have completed her mission earlier and quietly disappeared carrying the corpses of Lim Ha-yeon and Cheon Hye-un if it weren’t for her.

‘The mission failed, but we must inform the information of the hidden goddess. The information brought by those who collaborated with the Namgung family was an underestimated report.’

Because she has no emotions or fear, she is a hidden goddess who has destroyed the pincer attack of the hwagyeong-level, which makes even the masters of the Hwagyeong level stumped.

Those who collaborated with Namgung Sega explained in detail the strength of her hidden priestess, but she showed overwhelming strength beyond their explanation.

Here, the officer who commanded the nonsaldae felt fear.

‘Comrades at the meeting cannot lie. If so, it means that the hidden skill was deeper than what they found out… !’

Thinking that her existence would bring great dark clouds to Pacheonhoe in the future, he gave instructions to the rest of the non-slaughter team members to scatter and evade the chase and return to the designated place, or to self-destruct with the enemy if they were caught by the enemy, then quietly disappeared.

“Scattered!”
“Split and catch!”
“Follow me!”

The warriors of Bukcheongung on horseback dispersed and were divided to pursue the fleeing Bishaldae.

Subsequently, support warriors from Bukcheongung, who did not ride horses, began to organize the situation, and Lim Ha-yeon and Cheon Hye-woon breathed a sigh of relief when they realized that they had finally escaped the crisis.

“Sullin-ah! Are you okay!?”
“Are you okay.”

When Hong Seol-rin lifted her top so that only her back was exposed, the short-sleeved chain clothing protecting her upper body revealed its shape.

Then, she lifted the chain and checked the area where it had been attacked.

Thanks to the chains, only traces of being hit by something dull were left without being cut by the sword.

“I lived thanks to this. At first, I asked Jincheon how he wore something like this as a military commander, but I was stupid.”

If it wasn’t for this chain coat, he would have died spewing out bubbles of blood.

Seol-Lin Hong expressed her gratitude to Jin-Cheon, who insisted on wearing it until she left, but her complex and subtle smile came to mind as she remembered her foolishness of refusing to the end.

“Hey, Seol-Lin Hong.”
“…Yes.”

At that time, Lim Ha-yeon approached Hong Seol-lin.

Although they have different values, Lim Ha-yeon, who has only Jincheon Bay as the world’s best value, did not like Hong Seol-rin, who put Hong Ji-jang on the same line as Jin-cheon.

That’s why she didn’t have a good relationship with Hong Seol-rin, so she opened her mouth questioning her pupils.

“From now on, instead of a spear, I’ll carry something like a raincoat. What if I throw a spear in a hurry like an idiot?”

Im Ha-yeon, who spoke as if giving a pinchan, did not even listen to the answer and headed toward the crowded place to be escorted by the warriors.

“Please understand. Lim is doing this because she is ashamed to say thank you honestly.”

Cheon Hye-woon smiled at Lim Ha-yeon’s behavior and made her excuse instead.

The two recognized that when Im Ha-yeon was in danger, he threw the spear without hesitation.

Of course, he knew that he was wearing a chain suit made by Jincheon, but the assailant could have attacked the neck or head, and in the worst case, the chain suit couldn’t withstand the impact.

No, even if that were the case, turning your back and throwing a spear while fighting a poisoned assailant who would collapse in a bubble of blood at the slightest touch was something that could not be done with determination.

Whether it was because of worrying about the child in her belly or whatever, Lim Ha-yeon, who had received such a rescue, could not easily raise her face, even if she was sorry.

“No, I didn’t handle it properly in the first place. I should have decapitated it, but I made a mistake with too much force.”

However, Hong Seol-rin, she felt guilty that she did not properly treat Hong Seol-rin.

One obvious fact is that Im Ha-yeon’s stiff face, which had always treated Hong Seol-lin with a businesslike or disapproving expression, naturally relaxed.

Although the boundary between the two has not completely collapsed, it is clear that today’s incident has begun to tear it down.

While the three women, who felt relieved after surviving the enemy attack, were now relieved, Seo Yu-ran was alone with a serious expression on her face.

‘These guys didn’t scream even when they were injured close to death. And if it had been me before I attained enlightenment, I would have struggled greatly.’

If she wasn’t herself, she would have annihilated everyone here.
If you look at it this way, it may seem too arrogant, but it is an obvious fact.

‘There’s that explosion. There are some that are so powerful that I would have been shocked if I hadn’t hit the sword screen…’

The self-destruct attack by the two attackers using internal air had a power that could not be ignored.

In fact, Jincheon was greatly shocked by the non-slaughter team member’s self-destruct attack and faced a situation where he could not use all his strength.

‘They showed no emotion until the moment they self-destructed.’

However, what Seo Yu-ran was wary of was not the power of the self-destruct attack, but their eyes, which did not show any emotion even after they self-destructed.

Even if their arms were cut off or their heads were cut in half, the image of the nonsaldae rushing to complete the mission without screaming was more terrifying than the image of the demonic cult’s venomous servants.

‘Who the hell made these monsters… !’

Obviously, to create such an existence, training would have been conducted while applying an act close to torture to destroy personality.

I still don’t know their identities, but I can tell you this one thing.

‘I don’t know who it is, but I’ll definitely find out. And I’ll make sure you pay the price for creating these monsters!’

Seo Yu-ran, who could never tolerate beings who break people’s hearts and turn them into monsters before he started arguing with the political faction Sapa, vowed to find out who created these monsters.

“Huh…”

When Namgoongje returned after a long absence, seeing the situation of her hometown, she unknowingly made her sigh.

Hearing the news that her son Namgung Ju-hak died for unknown reasons and that his grandson, Namgung Sang-hyeon, suddenly became the family head, he hurriedly returned to Sega.

Namgung family, which was always brilliant and noisy, became very quiet and shady.

This was the aftermath caused by the fact that Namgung Ju-hak died along with the loyalists who followed him regardless of what he did.

Due to the sudden death of the family head and the disappearance of the loyalists, the ambitious blood relatives and collaterals began to devour the property of the Namgung family.

With the disappearance of loyalists and less education as a family head, Sanghyeon Namgung was unable to cope with betrayal from within.

In the end, when he came to his senses, half of the Namgung family had already disappeared, and the Namgung family was having the worst day in history as the surrounding clans took away the rights they had.

However, the dark era of the Namgung family was over.

Shocked by the fact that he was on the same level as the young Jincheon, Namgungje, who had been training alone, arrived at Sega after hearing the news, albeit belatedly.

“How can people fall so much…”

Originally, in the Namgung family, servants wandering around and warriors filling the gymnasium had to exist.

But now, a handful of servants were moving with heavy expressions, and the gymnasium was filled with only dust.

“Hmm?”

At that time, warriors dressed in the clothes of the Namgung family appeared.

The problem is, judging from their gait and weapons, they are not the people of the Namgung family.

“Meet Namgungje, the Sword King.”
“Who are you? Aren’t you from the Namgung family?”
“We are the ronin hired by the family lord. The lord is currently at the training ground.”
“The ronin? How come the ronin are wearing the clothes of the Namgung family?”
“Since we are hired, we cannot answer that far.”
“Kuhhmm.”

Namgungje even understood that he hired the ronin.

However, no matter how urgent the situation is, it’s like that. How can you put the women in the clothes of the Namgung family?

How could he pass the proof of being a member of the Namgung family so easily!

‘No matter how inexperienced you are, there is a name called Namgungse… !’

With the thought that he should help his grandson by his side, he headed to the training ground the ronin had told him about.

“Haha!”

Hung Hung Hung!

There, they were able to find Sanghyeon Namgung, who was practicing the swordsmanship of the Namgung family, but was spraying sword grass full of murderous intentions rather than Namgung’s heaviness.

“Sanghyun-ah!”
“…Are you here, Grandpa?”

Namgung Sang-hyeon, who was arrogant in the past but harbored Namgung’s energy, seemed to have gone through all sorts of hardships due to betrayal by his blood relatives, but the eyes of Sanghyeon Namgung were stricken with reality.

“I don’t know why the crane died, but now is not the time to be sad. Let’s correct the wrong things one by one.”

Namgoong Je was saddened by the death of her son, but now it was her first priority to right the wrongs for her husband rather than waste her years in her grief.

“That’s right. What ‘I’ need right now is not a period of mourning, but realistic help.”

Surely, she must have suffered a lot under the weight of betrayal of her blood relatives and family members, and her arrogant expression, which was full of blood and self-confidence, had completely disappeared.

“You’ve suffered a lot…”

Namgungje couldn’t find the face of the grandson he had seen in the past, so Namgungje approached Namgung Sanghyeon and hugged him.

“Now that I’m here, don’t worry. For now…”

Hooked!

“Ouch!?”

At that moment, Namgung Je felt the pain in her stomach and hurriedly left Namgung Sang Hyun.

“Uh… Uh… How… Stand…?”
“If it were me in the past, I would have gone through this ordeal together with my grandfather.”

Namgung Sanghyeon threw away the dagger that stabbed her Namgungje and opened her mouth with a cold expression.

Sasasasak–

At the same time, people in suspicious costumes appeared.

“But now I can’t. Namgung Chungha, because she insulted her father for not having embraced that filthy traitor.”
“What… What… Are you… Talking about…!”

Namgoongje resisted the poisonous aura buried at the tip of her sword, but did not know what her substitute grandson was saying.

“Do you know who killed your father? He died at the hands of the bitch you cared so much for!”
“!!”
“Hey! The contract will be fulfilled!?”

Namgung Sanghyeon ignored Namgungje, who was being consumed by poison, and opened his mouth to the leaders of those who surrounded and narrowed him down.

“Don’t worry. As long as Namgungje’s corpse is secured, we will start supporting you right away.”

It was only then that Namgungje realized what the situation was.

Sonja made a deal with someone unknown.

And, the target of the transaction is your own body.

“This… This… This bastard!!”
“Unfold the siege!”
“Kuaaaaa!”

Enraged with anger, Namgungje displayed great strength despite being poisoned, but those who besieged him were trained to catch Namgungje.

In addition, it did not take long for Namgungje to kill him as the poison was activated as he turned his inner energy.

‘Keukkeuk. The corpse of Namgungje, the Sword King. If you make Jiangshi with this, the power of Pacheonhoe will increase greatly! And…’

The head of the raiders smiled at Namgung Sang-hyeon, who sold his grandfather and came under the influence of the Pacheonhoe.

‘I can now control the Namgung family, the prestigious family of the political faction!’

Now, when Pacheonhoe rises, Namgung family will provide all sorts of high-quality information as traitors to the political faction.

The political faction would know that there was a traitor among them, but the Namgung family, famous for being a prestigious political faction, would not even imagine that traitor.
