Becoming the Swordmaster Rank Young Lord of the Sichuan Tang Family Chapter 301

Episode 300. Yoo Seol-ryeon

“Things are going really well.”

A captivating voice echoes through the room.

A woman wearing a thin and see-through nightgown that resembles the wings of a dragonfly stops reading a letter and gestures to a young man who is gently massaging her leg. He tells her to leave.

“My, my lady… …!”

The boy who received the wink was startled and trembled. It was understandable. Liu Xuelian, the demon master of the Fujian Liu family, would kill anyone she didn’t like without mercy. It was not widely known to the public, but it was a popular story among the Dongnams working in the Liu family. Liu Xuelian had even told him to knead harder twice just before. It was not unreasonable for the boy to guess that she was upset.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Okay, I was wrong. Please, have mercy just this once… … .”

“I think there was a misunderstanding.”

Yu Seol-ryeon laughed and muttered, “Don’t cry, I won’t kill you.”

“I have not yet tasted you, so why should I waste my life? I just want to avoid the hustle and bustle, so go away in peace.”

“… … Yes, yes!”

The boy’s voice was thick with relief, perhaps because his life had been saved. His life had never been in danger to begin with.

“Still, you’d better keep the fear you felt today in your heart. If you don’t live up to my expectations in a few days, then your neck will really fall off.”

“I’ll keep that in mind… … !”

The boy took a step back with a somewhat solemn expression on his face.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen a face I like, so I can’t kill it without having fun.’

Yu Seol-ryeon smiled slightly and thought as she admired Dong-nam’s face. It seemed like I wouldn’t get tired of this guy until the moon waxed and waned three or four times.

‘……by the way.’

Yu Seol-ryeon sat up straight, and opened the letter again, leaving the clothes flowing down her shoulders. There were several letters piled on top of each other, and each had a different handwriting, indicating that they were written by different people. Could they have been sent simultaneously from different regions?

She looked back at the sentences she had just read.

━ Urgent news. The thousand-year-old Shaolin sect has been destroyed. Many of the great monks who had been living in seclusion in Myeonbyeok-dong have come running, but they have all been defeated by the swordsmanship of the Heavenly Lord. As a special note, the identity of the person who killed the Shaolin abbot has been revealed. It is Eunryeong (銀鈴), who has been secretly serving as the Heavenly Lord’s receiver, and his martial arts skills are estimated to be of the highest level of demonic (極魔).

━ Urgent news. It is said that Shaanxi Huahua’s Yangdongji plan, which was carried out along with the advance of the Lord of Heaven, has completely failed. With the support of the extreme horse master Geumryeong, who was revealed to be the Lord of Heaven’s signal, they succeeded in driving Jongnam to the brink of destruction, but in the end, they seem to have lost both Geomjong and Geomjeol. There is a rumor that Hwasan Geomhwa intervened during the process, but this is not certain. It is said that Yeomwangmado and Talmyeongkwonma arrived at Hwasan after hearing of the Lord of Heaven’s victory, but they had already fled with the residents of nearby Hwaeumhyeon. A fight broke out with the Hwasun side’s Hwagyeong masters who were waiting. At this time, both Plum Blossom Lord Okyang and Yeomwangmado Bukgunghyeon lost their left arms. The details are unknown, but it seems that they decided to retreat due to the joining of Hwasan Jangmun Geomhwa and Jongnam Jangmun Geomjong. As a special event, a new Hwagyeong master appeared in Hwasan. His nickname is Hwasanjamryong, and his pen name is Cheongmyeong.

━ Urgent report. Guo Jia of Guizhou has dispatched troops. A thousand cavalry troops. It seems that the main force of the Jeongcheon Alliance has withdrawn and is planning to attack the empty land of Sacheon. As a special feature, Taechangma Guncheonak and Mado Lee Gongja Gwak Yeon are in the lead. It seems that they are planning to make a great achievement in the Jeongma Battle. Also, a man wearing a silver mask on his half face has been discovered. His identity is unknown.

━ Urgent report. The main force of the Jeongcheon Alliance has begun to move south from Hubei Jushan. Towards Guizhou. The Mudang has also retreated and joined in, moving together. The whereabouts of the Jeongcheon Alliance leader, Dang Myeong-myeong, Mudang Sword Master Song Cheong, and other Hwagyeong masters from the Jeongdo side are unknown.

“under.”

Fujian Confucian scholar Yu Xuelian, the great lady of the magic circle, let out a short breath as if she was excited.

The letters her eyes sent from all over the world were full of surprising content.

‘… … Really destroying Shaolin?’

First of all, the victory at Sungsan in Hanam was astonishing.

To be honest, she didn’t like the expedition of the Magwang Heavenly Lord this time. Yeon Jung-hyeok – I know that he is the leader of the Cheonma Sect, born with the Heavenly Martial Arts Body, and has only reached the extreme state of the devil in his youth, and that he has recently been practicing in the closed-door training and his martial arts have become perfect. But how can he fight again when it’s only been a few days since he destroyed the Anhui Namgung Family?

As the Anhui land where the Nanggong family disappeared was newly incorporated into the territory of the Demon Way, the influence of the Fujian Confucian family extended to Zhejiang and even some parts of Jiangsu beyond that. Yu Seol-yeon, who knew from experience how much tribute could be collected from a single province, was satisfied with that. He did not want to take any more risks. He only hoped that the righteous demon would continue the confrontation like this.

However, Yeon Jung-hyeok, as if he had not suffered any injuries in the battle with King Namgung Jangcheon, moved as soon as the inviolability of the official duties was declared, and as if it were natural, he even destroyed Shaolin.

If you were to ask the demons roaming the Central Plains which wave was the most threatening, they would most likely pick Shaolin. Even the demons with the most profound accomplishments were often unable to keep up with the Buddhist martial arts that possessed the power to destroy demons.

Such Shaolin disappeared━This was a major event that even Yoo Seol-ryeon, who had been skeptical about the prediction that a world of magic would one day come, changed his mind.

But if that were all, she wouldn’t have smiled triumphantly at this moment. The fact that the Jeongma War ended with the victory of the magic side meant that there would be a fight between the magic princes for the next Magic Heavenly Lord—the new supreme ruler of the Central Plains magic world.

‘… … Unlike the painter and the Gwak family, I thought that there would be no opportunity for the main family located in the rear.’

Yu Seol-ryeon recalled the contents of the letter. The Shaanxi Hwa clan had made a serious mistake. They should have destroyed Jongnam and Hwasan, but they lost them all. What was especially surprising was that even after going all the way to Geumnyeong, they had not reduced even one of the Hwagyeong masters. She had heard from Bingseolpapa how great a master Geumnyeong was.

━No matter how hard this old man tries, all he can do is take one of his arms off. Hehe.

Because of her origins, Bingseolpapa was able to use the Hanbingjang (寒氷掌) that ordinary martial artists would not even dare to face, and having lived for a long time, she possessed an unfathomable amount of internal strength. The person who guaranteed her defeat, let alone victory, was Geumryeong.

‘The fact that Jongnam was pushed to the brink of destruction is proof that Geumryeong was not pushed back by force, but rather by some kind of scheme. The rumor that Hwasangeomhwa was involved is certainly credible.’

Yu Seol-ryeon thought. Up until now, the Shaanxi painter had been playing the role of the vanguard of Ma Guang-cheon and had accumulated considerable achievements, but this time, the mistake was too big. Until the blunder was clearly revealed. According to her judgment, the Demon Archduke Hwa Moo-ryong would no longer be considered as the next Ma Guang-cheon Lord.

‘No. Maybe I’ll lose all the prestige I enjoyed as a member of the Magical Family.’

It was entirely possible.

Shaanxi painter

Guo family of Guizhou

Fujian Liu Family

Today, the three families known as the Five Great Clans and the Three Houses of Magic have grown solely due to the power of the Heavenly Lord of Magic, Yeon Jung-hyeok. Therefore, it is right to say that they could fall at any time if they go against his will.

‘The only thing left is Guo Jia.’

Yu Seol-ryeon’s lips curve as she examines the letter again. This is because Gwi-ju also noticed that the situation was going strangely.

‘Eun-ryeong moved quickly. It seems that he ran as soon as he took the life of the Shaolin abbot. He must have had the order of the Lord of Heaven. Is this the Yangdongji strategy again? If he were to attack Sacheon, the leader of the Jeongcheon Alliance in Juksan, Hubei, would probably be shaken. Although he is the best in martial arts, he is still young, so he must be worried about his mother’s life. If the Jeongcheon Alliance retreats from Hubei, it will be much easier to reclaim the Shaanxi region as the new territory of the Demonic Way. He must have also intended to easily eliminate the shamans.’

Yu Seol-ryeon had a guess as to why the troops of Guizhou Guojia had advanced to Sacheon. However, according to the letter, the main force of the Jeongcheon Alliance was moving south to Guizhou, not Sacheon, and the shaman had also thrown away his pride and retreated to join them.

‘Why are you heading to Guizhou?’

There was no way the information was wrong. Even during wartime, supplies would come and go. People belonging to the Manjin Trading Company were spread all over the Central Plains. And Fujian Yuga had long maintained close ties with the Manjin Trading Company, so they could use their information network without restrictions. The contents of the letter had already been cross-checked by several people and sent to her.

“ah.”

Suddenly, Yu Seol-ryeon seemed to realize something and let out a sound. Then, she quickly fell into thought.

‘… … The Jeongcheon Alliance may also be unfolding a two-pronged strategy. The Hwagyeong masters, including the leader, Yu Sangmyeong, may be returning to Sacheon, and the remaining troops may be planning to attack Guizhou.’

It was not hard to understand that the shamans who had been firmly holding their ground in Hubei, where Magwangcheon was located, retreated. Didn’t Zhongnan and Huashan in Shaanxi already set a precedent by abandoning their headquarters and fleeing? The current six factions are not the Daebang factions that displayed unapproachable power like the old factions. Most of them are only concerned about the safety of their own factions.

“Kwak Hwa-young.”

Did she hear the news from Shaanxi? – Yu Seol-ryeon muttered softly. No matter how much she thought about it, it seemed unlikely that Guo Hua-ying would already know about the Shaanxi painter’s mistake and that Grand Duke Hua Wu-ryong had completely fallen from the position of successor to Magwangcheonju. Guo Jia of Guizhou was also the ruler of a province, so he would be well aware of the surrounding situation, but it would take some time for him to learn about what had happened in Shaanxi. Of course, since Yin Ling, who had personally taken the life of the Shaolin abbot, had visited Guo Jia, he would have heard about the victory of Tianzhou and the destruction of Shaolin.

‘You must be anxious. The Jeongma War, which I thought would be a long-term war, will end quickly, and I’m worried that my son will be pushed to the back burner forever.’

In that case, there was only one decision she had to make – Yoo Seol-ryeon was certain. Kwak Hwa-young would be willing to take a ‘little’ risk for her son’s achievements.

The main force of the Zhengtian Alliance, which is currently moving south from Hubei Jushan, is a large force of two thousand men. It is a level that Guojia of Guizhou cannot handle without returning the troops heading to Sichuan, but surprisingly, Guo Huayoung is likely to think that it is not something that he cannot deal with. After all, the Wanjin Shangdan is located right below in Guangxi, and some of the Fujian Yuga troops are waiting in Honam right next door. They probably think that they can simply extend their hands.

‘Even if I don’t know my family, I don’t think the Man Geum Sang Dan would refuse a request for troop support.’

Yoo Seol-ryeon smiled with a sense of repentance. Up until now, Man-geum-sang-dan had never refused a request from the Madosamga. Even if it was a large sum of money or an unreasonable request, most of it was accepted.

so that.

Kwak Hwa-young would never have imagined it. Fujian Yuga and Man-geum Sangdan – How could he not receive any help from both sides?

‘The best would be for Gwak Yeon, the Duke of Yi, to die in Sacheon, but that is something we cannot do anything about… … We must definitely erase Gwak Ga. With the help of Jeongcheonmaeng.’

The eyes of Yoo Seol-ryeon, who was planning a murder plot, flashed fiercely.

‘If I do well, the son I give birth to may one day ascend to the position of Magwangcheonju.’

It was entirely possible.

It is assumed that Grand Duke Hua Moo-ryong has already fallen behind in the line of succession, and if Duke Gwak Yeon dies or is seriously injured, then – no, I think it doesn’t have to be that bad. If he loses the support base of the Guizhou Gwak family, what can he do on his own?

‘I need to see the sky.’

The belatedly ambitious mother felt a thrill for a while as she thought about some future that would come true.

After a while.

Dongnam, who had retreated once, received a call from the Fujian Yu family’s great wife, Yu Seol-ryeon, and entered her bedroom once again.

About an hour had passed.

The boy who entered with a determined expression like a general heading to the battlefield was able to walk out safely with an expression that was a mixture of relief, a sense of relief, and a hint of doubt.

━I like it. At least your lifespan will be longer than that b*tch Kwak Hwa-young, so don’t worry.

I kept repeating the unknown words that Yoo Seol-ryeon had said.
