Lotus (11)
“… … .”
There was silence for a moment.
The expressions of the local nobles who came to find the residence of the Ronin Geomwoonbi changed in different ways.
There were even people who raised their eyebrows as if they doubted their ears, and nodded their heads, saying that it was ridiculous to be so arrogant.
Instead of returning home, there were also masters who showed signs of anger. They looked for the gap in status between ronin and aristocrats.
Everyone lived as a martial arts chieftain, like a mountain god to the people.
They are beings who are naturally accepted in the Shanxi River Lake, no matter what anyone says or how they react.
“Surely you didn’t say that to your mother-in-law? Dust.”
“That’s an over-the-top idea. Rather, isn’t the problem your attitude of responding to the polite words of a nobleman with a monologue? That’s too presumptuous. No matter how strong a ronin is, what can he do alone?”
“You guys can say whatever you want. I came here to share some good words.”
Although there is a gap in the level of martial arts between regional powerhouses, the consciousness of the powerful clans is always awake.
It wasn’t that I ran blindly just because I saw a powerful eruption of waves.
There were countless people who came to see who their opponents were and how they should behave based on their location and temperament.
Inclusion, persuasion, argument, friendship… … .
The faces of the Gongya siblings on one side of the group changed from usual.
Grand Duchess Gong Ye-jeong showed her anxiety by smoothing the sleeves of her neat clothes, and Duke Lee Gong Ya-su lowered his sharp eyes and expressed his admiration.
“The Sword Master has made an enemy. What should I do about this…?”
“But that was Brother Geom’s ki wave just now, right? How could that be possible? It’s so incredibly strong. Even if it’s strong, I didn’t think it would be that strong.”
“Brother Sword?”
“He’s far more skilled than me, and his appearance is also cool. At first glance, he seems to have been raised as a noble child, but he has a strangely rough temperament… Are all ronin like that? I didn’t know there would be someone like that in front of the Lord of the House of Ears!”
“Be quiet. That’s not going to benefit the sword master.”
Gong Ya-jeong calmly rebuked her younger brother.
Her eyes were filled with concern. She wanted to repay the favor by achieving something worthy of the person who had gifted her with martial arts skills.
I didn’t know that something would happen to the blacksmiths, but that my own achievements were the problem.
‘That’s understandable. How can I have a good heart after hearing Gwiiltae’s verbal abuse…?’
Many people saw it at the banquet.
The son of the nobleman revealed his origins in front of the blacksmith.
He said that she was lowly. He said that since she was a guest, she should just listen to the Grand Duchess’s orders.
Hearing such words in a banquet hall with many people present, the arrogant attitude of the homecoming guest could easily come across as overbearing behavior.
That was when.
“Only the leaders remain.”
Jeong Yeon-shin suddenly spoke.
It was a huge mission accomplished through the combined efforts of the black three.
I wanted to go into the groundwork more thoroughly and boldly.
The ground I am stepping on now feels like it is not the land of Gongya Sega, but the debt of Seonryong Jegal Hyeon. In order to end the absolute master of magic and martial arts, ordinary preparation is not enough.
The Shanxi aristocrats who had been leading the way glanced back.
It was right after he had encountered the fearsome energy of the Hyeoncheonmunju Geomunbi. It seemed like no one wanted any innocent victims to emerge from their disciples.
The Gongya siblings, the later incumbents, and several servants retreated in a hurry.
Soon, Jeongyeon Shin opened her lips again.
“Follow me.”
The words that came out were closer to an order. However, it was as if he was wearing clothes that fit his body perfectly.
At the same time, the large body of the Shanxi Gui Jia Zhu flinched violently. It looked like he was extremely angry.
“Let’s see, let’s see, your recklessness is going too far! Do you know who you are talking to like that to?! Just because a mere ronin’s inaction is strong doesn’t mean he can be so reckless!”
His voice was incredibly loud. It seemed to pierce the night air.
The aerodynamics that were buried deep below the navel in the armor stood out, and it was worthy of being the head of a prestigious family that shook the entire castle.
Jeongyeonshin did not answer.
Wow!
As I silently extend my hand, a gust of cool air brushes the threshold.
Immediately afterwards, a set of pitch-black robes was dragged up on its own.
Amidst the sound of the rustling of silk and the rustling of cloth, the character “荒” was occasionally revealed from one sleeve floating in the air.
“Do I still look like a ronin to you?”
Jeong Yeon-shin, holding the hem of her black clothes, asked quietly.
At the same time, two sets of pitch-black clothes appeared behind the Shanxi aristocrats and fluttered loudly.
* * *
The black seniors came upon seeing the youngest’s aura.
New Sword Weapon, Magic Wand, and Blood-Preserving Weapon.
The three masters of the Wonpyeongil Sword Mastery gathered in a remote area. It was a thrilling event for the martial arts leaders who lived far away from Hogwang.
In fact, they just kept their mouths shut and watched the three figures.
“Just leave them like that.”
As soon as she sat down in front of the table in the annex with Jeong Yeon-shin and Jin Myeong-jo, she opened her lips. She did so while creating a colorless, dense curtain around them like a curtain.
Aksurim continued speaking.
“It’s done.”
“yes?”
“I think Zhuge Liang found out. No, it’s more correct to say that he had been prepared from the beginning. Bo-hyeol found the means of formation. Around the stage.”
“okay.”

“Aren’t you embarrassed? Seomye, are you angry? Your expression is different than usual.”
“It’s my personal business. Let’s discuss the mission first.”
“Um… okay.”
Aksurim shrugged his shoulders once.
Jin Myeong-jo, who had been somewhat attached to her, trembled slightly when he heard his junior’s words.
That gesture gave Jeongyeonshin some comfort. Senior Shinhyeolgeukma takes care of his juniors’ business as if it were his own.
“The training of Kwon Moo-gong and Jegal Ga-ju is almost invincible. There are martial artists who achieve a significant increase in strength the moment they join forces. It’s because their martial arts skills are well-matched. They are one of those guys. It’s terrifying.”
“I guess we can just leave it alone.”
Jeongyeonshin responded calmly to Aksurim’s words.
There was no other way.
It was said that the formations used by the great masters of sorcery and martial arts were comparable to divine arts.
The purpose of the Jegal family was to separate jade from stone in a martial arts competition.
There must have been things prepared that did not tolerate variables. There was no reason to fight in such a domain of elites.
“Our Seomye, look at your confidence? That’s right! If you want to fight properly, how do you start with martial arts?”
“then…….”
“Bo-hyeol and I will stop that bastard Jegal. Bo-hyeol’s qi is incredibly wide. We’ll be able to buy some time. Well, maybe before you get here… … .”
She winked at him as she trailed off.
“My spear might be piercing his head.”
“All right.”
“What really happened? Tell this older sister everything.”
“Yes, Grandma.”
As the night deepened, a soft conversation was heard.
It was a conversation that would turn the Shanxi martial arts world upside down.
* * *
The sun was high in the sky.
It was a day when transparent sunlight filled the winter air.
“From now on, this place is the cradle of martial arts!”
The rough voice was permeated with energy and spread widely.
The young unmanned aerial competition was over-packed, but the crowd surrounding the stage made it sound plausible.
Center of the stage.
“The many great masters of Shanxi have spoken of fair martial arts! Countless young masters who will broaden the horizon have thrown their hats into the ring. You must witness today’s brilliant martial arts clearly and spread it to the world without fail!”
A middle-aged man in a white robe led the proceedings. A thunderous roar filled the hall.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!
The vast hills of Hengping Mountain in Shanxi Province.
Even though the stage was hastily constructed and the location and schedule changed abruptly, hundreds of people showed up.
Most of them were dressed in a way that would allow them to survive even in a famine. They were adorned with silk clothing, palanquins, carriages, and fine horses.
For those who have, the movements of the powerful families of the martial arts world are the top priority for monitoring.
This was because the favoritism and power rankings among the strong directly affected commercial rights, land, and store ownership.
“The person who will open the gates of this competition is… … .”
The man in the formal attire spoke. At the same time, the awnings surrounding the edge of the stage shook violently.
The powerful families who were young and energetic and wanted to show off their power and fame.
The strong wind blowing through the gap in the mountain caused a great shaking.
It was at that moment that many people in the crowd burst into cheers.
Whoaah! Boom!
The center of the stage was sunken. White light flickered above the golden lines that split the four directions, making a crackling sound.
It was an aerodynamic wave that shattered the waves of agility of the rookies who were swarming in all directions.
As soon as Inyoung, who had suddenly gotten off, straightened her back, gasps of shock echoed from all over the place.
“Your Majesty… …!”
“The King of Kwonmu has arrived!”
“Kwon Moo-gong, the great swordsman…? No way… … .”
“Someday the best! This is Someday the best!”
The crowd that had been listening erupted in cheers, much louder than when they had previously heard the opening declaration of the non-conference.
Those gathered near the stage were shouting so loudly that they covered their ears.
Soon, Unhwa-ryeon opened her mouth.
“I came to avenge my defeat.”
It was a voice that cut through the huge commotion. The level of aerodynamics involved was different.
As silence fell around her, she spoke again.
“There is no trap. The reincarnation of the dragon will not come. I had to go and carry out another operation to prevent the Murim Alliance from looking down on Sanseo. I am the only one here. I say this with all the martial arts skills I have accumulated throughout my life.”
“I… what is the great swordsman… …?”
It was when the writer in charge of the secret meeting approached her cautiously.
Gong Ya-ga-ju, who had been sitting under the sunshade, jumped up in a desperate manner and grabbed the man in the scholar’s uniform by the back of his neck.
Phew.
The backlash from the nerves of the mind created a short gust of wind. The short hair of Unhwaryeon, which fell below the nape of her neck, swayed blackly.
“The Gongya family.”
“What a great hero.”
“I am grateful to you for your help in Shanxi. I received a lot of help from you when I came to a foreign land.”
“I was glad to be able to broaden my horizons.”
“If possible, avoid getting entangled with the ghosts. It would be best not to have a deep relationship with the Bokryong Hwansaeng. When Mu-maek reaches out for help from outside, he loses his own soul… I realized it too late.”
“… … .”
“A mediocre sect like Gongya should bow down and walk alone. If you try to imitate those who dominate the world of martial arts, your legs will be torn apart. For example, someone like that.”
Unhwaryeon slightly turned her body and gestured forward.
Sabak.
A black figure walks gracefully up onto the stage.
He was a tall man, on the border between boy and young man, and was wearing an indescribable robe.
She was the one who had to welcome him.
“You are the Hyeoncheonmunju. You are said to have reached the level of a master despite being a young ronin.”
“Are you saying that the Great Swordsman has ever been defeated by the author?”
“I saw you sharing a handshake the other day. At first glance, it looked like you were on the same level… … .”
The murmurs surrounding the area grew louder.
But the masters stood facing each other without paying any attention to anything.
The Lord of Gongya, who had been looking at the Lord of Hyeoncheonmun, Geomunbi, and Jeongyeonshin with complicated eyes, retreated leading the man in the literary uniform.
“Zhuge Liang isn’t coming?”
Jeong Yeon-shin asked.
Unhwaryeon nodded.
“Yes. It’s because I didn’t tell you about him. The current Bokryong Hwansaeng has laid his own paths for every path he takes. He’s prepared to defeat anyone who comes from Ip Hwang Seong, so he’s not bound by any schedule. That’s what it means to be a truly transcendent master. You must keep this in mind.”
“… How could you not guess me when your family members ran away?”
“They died without anyone knowing. It seems to be the work of the May 18 Massacre… But now is not the time for me to talk about it. I don’t know anything about it either.”
The one who was always mentioned when talking about winning the Non-Wood Tournament was the Salhyeop sect.
Jeong Yeon-shin, who had been silent for a moment, asked again.
“What is your purpose?”
“I wanted to stop. The reincarnation of the dragon had lost its dignity. What I was in love with was a Confucian scholar who had lost his wife and was in deep sorrow, not an absolute ruler who had thrown away his life for a cause.”
Unhwaryeon’s calm voice swept across the stage, carried by the winter wind.
I felt regret. It was accompanied by a dry, tingling sensation that seemed to be gnawing at my skin.
‘You’re serious.’
Even without necessarily calculating it in terms of upper body temperature, it came that way.
Now, it wasn’t her but her surroundings that were of concern. There were many powerful people who took ronin lightly.
Those Shanxi bastards who have dozens of disciples under their wing and treat them like dozens of swords.
There were many strangers. They were the carnivores of Kangho. They came here directly without visiting Gongya Se-ga.
‘Insignificant dust.’
I felt their presence from the eye level of the dragon’s fan.
Do you think that the interests of a famine are more important than the honor of a warrior? The waves swaying under the canopy are impatient because they cannot help Unhwaryeon.
The dust that had eaten the elixir in its mouth felt like it would sting if it got into my nose.
It was a rare position for someone not to have connections to the Zhuge Liang family.
I was worried that my movements might be restricted, but now is the time to find freedom through status. So that no one can dare to interfere.
Swish.
Jeongyeon Shin put her left hand, which extended from the gap in her sleeveless top, on her right arm.
I could feel the soft texture. It was the hem of the cloth wrapped around my arm.
Taaak!
He grabbed it and tore it off. The sensation in his palm was shattered by the waves and quickly shortened.
At the same time, the noises that had been making noises everywhere began to die down one by one. Only a very small number of people were there. The majority of them were getting up from their seats.
“What? What’s going on?”
“The rough emperor is sleeping!”
“That! That… … !”
“Magwangikju Jeongyeonshin.”
Pieces of silk fabric are scattered about, sparkling with a uniquely smooth texture.
As the white lights scattered in small pieces, Jeongyeonshin licked her lips while being bathed in the halo of light.
“I accept Kwon Mu-gong’s challenge.”
