< Episode 93 Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge (3) >
“Yeonwoo!”
Seonghwaryeongju’s granddaughter Yesongah’s eyes turned red.
She had missed Gu Yeon-woo desperately while they were away.
This was the same for Gu Yeon-woo.
“Song!”
The moment he saw her, the tip of his nose felt cold.
He believed that the only way to hide and protect the orb from the imperial palace or various enemies was within the territory of his family, Yeonggeomsanjang.
However, as I was afraid that things would go wrong and I would disappoint her, when I saw this, all kinds of thoughts arose at the same time.
“Song-a… I am······.”
-closely!
Gu Yeon-woo was about to say something when Yesong-ah hugged him tightly.
And then he whispered soothingly.
“are you okay. “It’s okay, so you don’t have to blame yourself.”
“Song-ah…”
Gu Yeon-woo felt a lump in his throat.
Where can I meet a woman like this?
It was such a blessing for me to leave the religion and meet her.
As they were doing so, they heard someone’s voice breaking their silence.
“I know it’s nice to see you, but please take it in stride and ask if I found the orb.”
The owner of the voice was none other than Mok Gyeong-un.
Seeing him like this, Gu Yeon-woo asked cautiously with puzzled eyes.
“Song. “Who is that person?”
In response to that question, Yesongah whispered in his ear,
“It’s him.”
“What do you mean by distinction?”
“Master of the torch.”
‘!!!!!!’
Gu Yeon-woo’s eyes widened at those words.
I felt so intimidated that I guessed that it was not an ordinary person, but I never imagined that the author was the person in the prophecy.
But when I found out who it was, my heart started pounding like crazy.
Although he converted to Baehwagyo, he was secretly skeptical about its existence.
However, I could not suppress the overwhelming feeling that came from experiencing this intimidating feeling and the confident voice of Yesongah, who could practically be said to be the new Holy Spirit Spell.
“Really?”
“that’s right. “He is the one we have been waiting for.”
“Ahhh······.”
“Whoa.”
At that time, Yesongah was startled by the sound of a shallow sigh coming from behind and hurriedly asked him.
“Did you find the orb?”
“no. “It was stolen from my brother, but it’s not here.”
“No?”
“Your brother will know the whereabouts of the orb.”
With those words, Gu Yeon-woo looked at Gu Woong-hwang, the eldest son and owner of Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge, who was slowly gaining strength in a very nervous state.
Seeing his gaze, Gu Woong-hwang parted his lips.
“······Are they your colleagues?”
“Where are you?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Don’t act like a fool. The orb taken from me… “Where on earth did you put it?”
Guunghwang’s eyes narrowed at his question.
A strange bead with a brilliant light.
Yeonwoo clearly called it an orb, and every night he went out to the mountain hut, bowed to the bead, and memorized doctrines about sacred fire and such.
Seeing that such a great expert showed up and looked for it, it was clearly an important item for Baehwagyo.
‘If you try to hand over such items, you never know what will happen to them. And this guy is definitely…’
Gu Xionghuang looked at Gu Yanwu’s face and suddenly remembered something.
Now that I think about it, it was truly unusual.
Isn’t the Justice League already looking for the real culprit who killed Changcheon Swordman Namgung Jin and the elites of the Namgung family?
The reason why his father, Jangju Gu Cheon-mu, was included in the list of suspects even though he was not a thief was because he was the only one with enough inaction to exterminate them.
However, this tremendous intimidation felt from behind was a level of energy that could only be felt from my father.
In response, Goo Woong-hwang opened his mouth with a confident voice.
“······It’s you. “You are the one who killed the head of the Namgung family and its elites.”
He was convinced that the real culprit was the one behind him.
At his words, Gu Yeon-woo snorted and said as if he was taken aback.
“Stop talking nonsense and tell me where the orb is.”
“I can not say.”
“yes?”
“Do you think you would put our family in danger by killing the head of the Namgung family and its elites and then hand over such an important item?”
The whole time he was speaking, the owner, Gu Woong-hwang, was shaking his head.
Just from the intimidating feeling behind him, he vaguely understood that the unknown person was a master who was a level above him.

Of course, if we fought, there was an extremely high chance of losing.
However, if you fight with a world-class expert like this, the repercussions will naturally be significant, and many experts in the Yeonggeom Lodge, including your father, Gu Cheon-mu, will notice.
No, there was no need for other experts.
If only Gu Cheon-mu, the father, noticed, the situation would be resolved.
‘It’s not me who is at a disadvantage.’
It may be dangerous right away, but if you take time, you will have an advantage.
Guunghuang spoke calmly.
“I will talk to you in the back. This is the territory of Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge. “Do you understand what that means?”
“well. “What do you mean?”
‘!?’
One of the owners, Gu Xionghuang, raised an eyebrow.
Is Ija doing this on purpose?
“······This is also the territory of Geukyeong Sword Master Gu Cheonmu, a member of the Six Heavens. “I know that you are a great expert, but you also know how different the existence of Six Heaven is.”
‘We have to make them aware of it first.’
You would know that this person is an expert close to the level of a great master.
This is how broad the spirit of a world-class expert like my father is.
Premature overflow must be prevented.
“So, I would advise against it. “It’s not too late…”
It was before he finished speaking.
“If you want to test how well I can kill the members of Yeonggeom Lodge before your father makes his move, you can talk more.”
‘Anit?’
Guunghwang’s eyes trembled.
The opponent came out rather strong.
Normally, one would be conscious of the strongest opponent, but the one who was behind him was rather faithful to his own purpose.
‘Family servants…’
If Lee decides to do so, almost half of his family will be sacrificed even before his father steps forward.
He was that dangerous.
My instincts are so strong that they dissuade me from fighting.
What should I do?
Should I go out stronger?
But Mok Kyung-un shook his complicated state of mind.
“The choice is simple. If Bo-ju and Gu Yeon-woo are handed over, it will end quietly, otherwise Yeonggeom Lodge will see a lot of blood, right?”
-Wow!
Gu Xionghuang gritted his teeth.
How did these guys come into this place called the Holy Land of the Sword and threaten them?
Anger gradually grows stronger than reason.
There was a high probability that things would turn out as he said, but if that were the case, the real culprit who killed the guests of the Namgung family would be missed, and his father would continue to be in the crosshairs.
In that case, wouldn’t it be possible to solve the problem if he risked his life and held on for just a moment with the determination of Donggwijin?
Goo Woong-hwang, who had made up his mind, soon created a half-hearted reaction with his best attack power.
-Paaaaang!
At the same time, a sharp energy rushed from his entire body along with tremendous wind pressure.
Guunghwang’s number was simple,
After countering the fact that the opponent is occupying the back with anti-elasticity,
-Sreung!
The goal was to kill the guy with a sharp sword using a sharp sword technique.
Gu Xionghuang’s sword, which came out of its scabbard, rushed quickly and exquisitely towards Mo Qingyun’s eyebrows.
It was a sword path that could only be achieved with thousands or tens of thousands of practices.
however,
-Chaeang! Sigh!
His sword bounced upward in a futile manner and pierced the ceiling, and Mok Kyung-un’s sword tip touched the nape of his neck with a sharp force.
Gu Xionghuang’s expression distorted.
‘······I was mistaken.’
He thought that if his father came, the situation would be resolved.
But with this sword, I was convinced.
This person was already a monster comparable to his father, Six Heaven.
What’s even more surprising is,
‘You’re so young…’
The contract had not yet been signed, I had never heard of Mihyeong’s appearance or features, and it was my first time seeing her face.
What on earth is it?
How is this person not known to the martial arts community?
He was perplexed, but Mok Kyung-un smiled and said to him.
“You shook hands. That’s sad.”
With those words, Mo Gyeong-un’s assistant suddenly grabbed his head.
-Park!
Thinking it was Geumnasu’s tactic, he hurriedly tried to throw his hand away.
-Wow!
‘Ugh!’
At that moment, he felt a finger digging into his skull along with a cracking sound, and a scream was about to burst out of Gu Woong-Hwang’s mouth as he was overcome with tremendous pain.
Of course, the scream turned into a cough after Mok Kyung-un switched the index paper to the blade of his hand and hit his uvula.
-Park!
“Kkeekkeekkeek!”
Mok Gyeong-un smiled bitterly at the distressed man and whispered in his ear.
“If only you had given me the orb, you have taken care of something that would have ended quietly, so let’s test how strong your will is.”
– Creepy!
That whisper was like the devil opening the gates of hell.
* * *
Nongeomdang (論劍黨) at Yeonggeomsanjang is a place where many swordsmen gather to discuss swords.
The swordsmen gathered here were renowned in the martial arts world and all had deep knowledge of the sword.
Since it was a place where such excellent swordsmen gathered to discuss swordsmanship, the level of swordsmanship was beyond what most swordsmen can handle.
As for the Jeongmyeong situation of the Hangshan faction, although he was a master of the sword who had reached the pinnacle of excellence, he could not help but hold out his tongue while listening to the debate they were having.
‘Amitabha Buddha. If it weren’t for the Justice League, I’d like to stay here and discuss the case for a few months.’
Any swordsman who wields a sword would think the same way as her.
But she had work to do.
The goal was to find the culprit who killed the Namgung family’s head and other elite members of the Namgung family.
-Jump, jump, jump!
Jeong Myeong Sae-tae was walking through the cave passage with Mo Yong-hak, the eldest son of the Mo Yong family, and Gu Woong-seong, the second son of the former Zhou lord.
This was because Ji-oe and Gok-o were located beyond the Nongeomdang building.
I visited quite a few places at Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge for investigation, but this was my first time.
This passage was located behind a small waterfall in the back garden of Nongeomdang, and at first glance, it was not a place you could find.
‘······I didn’t ask you to tell me, but I can’t believe you didn’t tell me about this place.’
Mo Yong-hak clicked his tongue inwardly.
Even if former Jangju’s work space is like that, shouldn’t he have told me about this place?
He felt slightly uncomfortable at this and eventually opened his mouth.
“During the several days of investigation, this was the first time I realized that there was such a secret space at Yeonggeom Lodge. If I had known in advance, it would have been good for a smooth investigation. Ha ha ha ha ha.”
Unlike the boastful laughter, the content was to pinch teeth.
In response to his words, Gu Woongseong, the second son of the former chieftain, bowed and said,
“I’m sorry. Just like Nongeomdang, the area behind this is also a place where customers need to concentrate for exams and training, so please understand that we were not able to tell you about it.”
Mo Yong-hak clicked his tongue when he answered as well as he could.
I would like to say one more thing about this.
“any······.”
“Amitabha Buddha. But what is behind it that makes it a place that requires customers to concentrate?”
Jeongmyeong’s situation interrupted him.
This was her prescription as she was concerned that if she continued to leave it alone, the atmosphere would become uncomfortable.
“Hmm.”
Mo Yong-hak, who realized her intention, seemed to realize his mistake and closed his mouth.
Ko Seong-woong responded with a smile.
“Because there is a test left behind by my father, or rather, the Lord.”
“What is that?”
“You will find out if you go to Geogok.”
“Geogeok?”
“iced coffee. yes. “At some point, the guests started calling that place Geomgok (劍谷).”
“It’s Geomgok…. That’s cool. “Anyway, since you say that, apart from meeting my seniors, I want to see you soon.”
“Your expectations will be rewarded.”
Gu Seong-woong said in a voice full of pride.
Then Jeongmyeong frowned and asked.
“But is that glow-in-the-dark wine in the pocket of your belt?”
“yes? “What is that?”
“Light is leaking through the pocket.”
Seong-woong Seong was puzzled by those words and looked at his waist.
However, as Jeongmyeong said, a faint but light was leaking from the pocket.
‘what?’
At this, Gu Seong-woong’s expression became strange.
This pouch was given to him by his older brother, Guunghwang.
Inside the pocket was what Gu Yeon-woo called an orb.
[This is why he can’t come to his senses. I have to put it in the furnace right away and melt it down.]
[Do you want to get rid of it?]
[What can I do by leaving this behind?]
[Of course it is. It’s right to get rid of it, at least for the sake of the youngest. If so, can I take a look and melt it?]
[Would you like to take a look?]
[yes. It’s unique in that it’s neither jade nor iron, so I’m just going to look at what it is and try to melt it.]
[hmm······. i get it. Examine it carefully and remove it.]
[All right.]
Of course, I received it out of pure curiosity, but the real reason I received it from my brother was because it was something Gu Yeon-woo treasured and I was sure it would be quite useful.
But what on earth is this?
Why does something that isn’t even a luminous light emit this kind of light?
I think we need to take a closer look at what it really is.
He was puzzled, but did not show it and smiled and said to Jeong Myeong-sae.
“ha ha ha. You have a sharp eye. “It’s luminous liquor.”
“As expected. “I see light coming out of my pocket, so I don’t need a torch.”
“yes. I often use it for that purpose. ah! “Outside the aisle.”
A bright light was visible at a bend in the passage.
As a result, their nerves went from their pockets to there.
As they exited the passage, a huge cliff unfolded before their eyes.
An exclamation naturally flowed from the mouths of Jeong Myeong-sae and Mo Yong-hak at the sight of the cliff, which was almost spectacular.
But soon their eyes turned somewhere.
It was a cliff and a large monument about three feet high erected right in front of the cliff.
I could see about twenty men sitting in front of the monument.
‘what?’
They were all staring intently at the large tombstone, and I couldn’t figure out why they were doing that.
“What are you all doing over there?”
When asked about the Jeongmyeong incident, Ko Seong-woong shrugged his shoulders and said.
“It is a test for the Lord and to receive his teachings.”
“A test and a teaching?”
They looked puzzled and approached.
As he was moving forward, Mo Yong-hak saw something engraved on the tombstone.
[劍道劍極]
It was written in writing: Kendo Geomgeuk (劍道劍極).
There was nothing else but him, so why were so many people sitting in front of him staring intently at that?
I found this strange and tried to say something to Jeongmyeong.
“situation······!?”
Before I knew it, Jeong Myeong-sang was seen stopping and staring at the writing on the tombstone with shocked eyes.
“situation?”
He called once more, but Jeong Myeong-sae seemed to not hear his call, and did not take his eyes off the monument at all.
So I tried to call her again,
“Leave it alone.”
Gu Seong-woong dissuaded this in a low voice.
“Leave me alone?”
“Mr. Jeongmyeong is being tested by Lord Jang.”
“yes?”
This is a test?
What’s wrong with this?
