Becoming the Swordmaster Rank Young Lord of the Sichuan Tang Family Chapter 89

< Episode 88 >

When dawn comes quietly.

There were people lining up in the calm air. They were ready to leave, and they all wore clean military uniforms and had a cool, dawn-like energy. They seemed like talented people who would be treated well in any room.

They were a military unit directly under the Tang Family Presbyterian Church. In front of each military unit, Geonjeongdae, Dokgeomdae, and Amryangdae, figures who appeared to be great leaders stood expressionless, and in front of them, Elder Lee Dang Myeong-shin, President Dang Ji-ryong, and Five Elders Tang Myeong-hu were talking quietly.

“…How do you plan on deciding your course? Wouldn’t it be very risky to head straight north towards the East? I heard that the one in charge of this Sacheon branch is the Simhwabang.”

“I guess it was decided on the Simhwa Room in the end. In fact, it is said that the Taeeulmuk Sword Sect and the Cheonjinbang were on the verge of destruction due to Sogaju… Anyway, what Elder Lee said is correct. The Simhwa Room is located northeast of the main house, so it is best to avoid it as much as possible. It would be a good idea, because even now, descendants of Sado Bangpa are flocking there from all over Sacheon.”

“Elder Lee, to the president. Is there a need to be so concerned? With this much power, he could easily defeat one or two of the most powerful factions. It seems like the Taoist master of the communal faction over there is an expert at a level that is hard to fathom.”

“Elder Oh. Those attending the Four Heavenly Branch Meeting are only the younger descendants of each faction, but the troops escorting to the Simhwa Room, the opening venue, will be elites from each faction. Among them, there may be someone who has received the Shin Gongjeolhak from the Heuksa Reunju. “Of course, since Sogaju has decided to attend the Sacheon branch, he will not openly touch us, but it would be better to minimize the possibility of friction.”

“Then how about we just move to the deep room under the pretense of escorting Sogaju? I don’t think we will be cautious as we have a good cause.”

“It’s not a bad idea, but the size of the troops is excessive, so it could end up irritating the apostolic forces, including Simhwabang. Moreover, they may not be on guard until they arrive at Simhwabang, but it’s strange that they don’t return to their home. There will be people who feel it.”

“Also, since it is a big event in Sichuan, it is possible that someone from the Black Silhouettes will come out. It is unlikely that the Black Silhouettes will come out in person, but if even one or two of his sworn brothers show up….”

“…I understand. I think it would be better to avoid it. Then, even if it takes some time, I should move east and then north.”

“That’s right. It’s like going back a little further, but if you keep your guard up diligently, you can save a lot of time. In fact, you can think of it as arriving faster because you can prevent unnecessary friction.”

“Is there any reason to arrive early?”

“A person named Hyeonso of the Communal Sect requested this. It looks like we are behind schedule more than expected, so I would like you to hurry up. Perhaps Kunlun may already be waging an all-out war with the Demonic Cult.”

“It’s a Demonic Cult… I never thought I’d be fighting against them in my old age. Even though my main mission is to support the rear and deal with the remnants, I’m really reluctant.”

“I have no choice. The matriarch has given a solemn command, so I have no choice but to follow it.”

“…I honestly doubt that the head of the family is using this opportunity to get rid of us with the help of the Demonic Cult. Not only we, but also the armed forces belonging to the Presbyterian Church will be a thorn in our side.”

“That won’t be true. If they were really going to get rid of us, there would be no way that the Lord of Soga would have given us the Tang Gosip poison. Even if it was a Japanese-German intangible famous mountain, didn’t he also give us the poisonous Salzo Flower? As you know, Saljo Flower has reached the level of hwagyeong. It’s a poison that can kill even an expert. Even if something goes wrong and you encounter the Demon Cult Master, there’s a way to survive. The only thing that’s puzzling is why the authority over the intangible famous mountain and killing birds was left to the boss. But…”

“..Even if you look at me with those eyes. I don’t know either. It would be much better for two elders who are deeply versed in dragon poisoning to take charge rather than me, who is just a sword tooth.”

“Hmm. Is that so…? Anyway, I don’t think there’s much to worry about.”

The three looked at each other and nodded. There was trust between them that came from a certain sense of kinship. Therefore, even when they saw Elder Lee Tang Mingxin’s eyes sparkle strangely, the other two elders did not pay much attention.

Meanwhile.

Among the ranks of the Geonjeongdae directly under Elder Lee, there was someone who was quietly letting go of his anger. He was trying not to reveal the fact that he was holding a grudge, and was looking at Jeon Jeon-myeong, who was talking with the members of the communal faction, with as calm a gaze as possible.

‘Son of a bitch.’

Tang Mun-chan cursed as if he was just chewing on his mind. Did he say that a place makes a person? Now, it was completely Sogaju’s natural name. Aren’t they standing shoulder to shoulder with the figures of the communal faction who are playing a part in the six factions?

As I look at it, I feel angry again. Isn’t this what he dreamed of becoming, the late Jisoo of a famous family? He felt as if his place had been taken away. He was hit by a murderer and one of his arms was damaged, so the future is now unattainable for him.

‘I will definitely take revenge…!’

A venom appeared in Tang Wen-chan’s eyes for a moment and then disappeared. So fast that no one notices. He knew full well that Yeon Myeong was a master beyond imagination. If he couldn’t control his boiling heart and let it out, he could get himself offended or do something wrong.

It’s not time yet. A gentleman’s revenge will not last even ten years. I control my mind by repeating this.

There is one problem. How can he, who is nothing but an idiot, get revenge on Yeon Myeong?

‘…I’ll have to fix my arm first. ‘Having the opportunity to contact the Demonic Cult is nothing short of heavenly luck.’

Anyway, I decided to turn my back on my family. Tang Wen-chan, whose resentment towards Yeon-myeong was deep in his bones, had no intention of meekly following his family’s orders. Even the Demonic Cult was considered a subject of negotiation. What if you move between Gong and Kunlun to help the Demonic Cult…?

From what I heard, the martial arts of the Demonic Way were so unusual that there were many things that were beyond the scope of human beings. It is said that there is a martial arts method that allows one to have regenerative powers beyond human limits, so perhaps there is a way to fix the arm.

Or, the so-called magician of the time said that he could even reattach a severed arm. There was a rumor that he had mastered the medical arts of Yeokcheon, but it was said that he only listened to the orders of the Demonic Cultist. He wondered if he could ask for treatment.

Unaware that there were people scheming at close range, Yeon Myeong was leisurely exchanging final greetings with members of the communal faction.

“Then, please be careful.”

“I have truly been indebted to you all this time, Lord Soga. Thanks to your care, I was able to quickly control the internal affairs of the Four Baek Dynasty. I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of Jangmun for making the courageous decision to help in defeating the demonic religion. ”

“I am indebted to you.”

Hyeonso and Taeheo bowed slightly. A deep sense of goodwill was evident in their gestures. It was natural. For them, it was truly a moment of desperation when they were saved. Of course, if Taeheo had taken action despite the worsening of internal affairs, he would not have been harmed by the Sapa thugs, but if that had happened, the power of the Gongongpa faction would have been irreparably weakened. In the battle against the Demonic Cult, the presence of an absolute expert like Taeheo was invaluable, but he was almost neutralized in vain. It is correct to say that it is a desperate situation.

Taeheo still felt uneasy about Yeonjeomyeong. It definitely felt like it was a far lower level of inaction, but for some reason, there was something that reminded me of the Black Snake Run. Since this was just a feeling, Taeheo didn’t bother to show it. He roughly figured out that it might be because he had learned independent techniques rather than general martial arts, so he just passed it on.

“No. It was something that had to be done. Military support to the faction is also provided in exchange for compensation. I hope that both parties’ agreements are well implemented.”

Yeon Myeong waved his hand and emphasized once again. There is a price to pay for cooperation between the party and the community.

Hyeonso clicked his tongue and quickly answered.

“…Don’t worry. As soon as we arrive at the main sect, we will obtain a long permission for the promised payment and send it to you via personal mail. Of course, since this has been approved by the Four Baek, permission will naturally be granted.”

“All right.”

“However, since it is a small amount of money, we are planning to mobilize disciples from the main sect to prepare for any unexpected situation, but since we are facing a confrontation with the Demonic Cult, it will be a little difficult to send mid-level disciples…”

“Don’t worry about that. If you let me know first where and when to meet, I will meet you at my home on time.”

“Thank you, Sogaju. And the black sand lotus as well…”

Hyeonso trailed off. I wanted to make a final request, but it was a very sensitive topic.

Tang family leader Yeon Yeon-myeong decided to deliberately attend the Sacheon branch and cause confusion. This is to ensure that the factions under the Black Lions do not pay any attention to what is happening above. In particular, for the community, which had to dispatch most of its elite troops to fight against the Demon Cult, the most worrying thing was that the Four Heavenly Apostles were attacking the empty headquarters. In some ways, wouldn’t this be more serious than military support?

“The news will probably reach you faster than you can go on the campaign trail. Don’t worry about that either.”

“I will believe it.”

As Yeon Myeong spoke confidently, Hyeon So also nodded with great relief. In many ways, I thought that this trip to Sacheon was a great gain.

Lastly, Hyeonso and Taeheo bowed to the head of the family, Dokbong Dang Jihye, and joined the ranks. Then, the eyes of everyone gathered in the hall naturally turned to Tang Ji-hye. It was her turn to have the order to march come out of her mouth.

“Everyone.”

A voice that is both pleasant to listen to and powerful resonates clearly. This is because it contains deep inner strength. Everyone in the room listened intently, realizing once again that Dang Ji-hye, who had ascended to the position of head of the family, was as talented as she was beautiful.

“As can be seen from the family rules, the main family has always placed great importance on faithfulness. Since we have agreed to assist, we will go on this expedition with the thought that we will share good fortune with the community.”

Dang Ji-hye speaks in a commanding tone unlike usual.

If it is the Gagyu of the Tang family, it will definitely say that.

Double the grace, and multiply the resentment tenfold.

From ancient times, it was a saying that showed how cruel the people of the Sacheondang family were, but on the other hand, it also meant how much they valued faithfulness.

At the meaningful words of Tang Ji-hye, the head of the Tang family, the corners of the eyes of Elder Lee Tang Myeong-shin and several members of Geonjeongdae twitched slightly, but their calm complexions soon recovered. If the head of the family knew about their plan, there would be no way he would have sent them away like this.

Well then, I wish you good luck. After quietly joining hands and bowing to Tang Ji-hye’s words, the people began to walk without breaking up the ranks. They were quiet steps suited to the calm early morning air. As soon as you leave the front gate, you will open your guard and run.

After they all disappeared, a small wind rose in the empty space.

“Yeonming Ah.”

“Yes, mother.”

“It’s windy.”

“Is it Wind Cloud? This mother plans to support you no matter what life you lead, but she also just wants to be with you for a long time. I hope you don’t push yourself too hard.”

“Don’t worry. Who am I?”

Who is Dokbong’s son? Dang Ji-hye laughed as she answered that way. From some point on, whenever she expressed her concerns, her only son expressed his confidence in this way.

Yeon Myeong smiled and thought. I guess you’re worried about getting involved with the Black Silhouette. However, it was a necessary process in order to live a normal life with her mother. She also made a promise to the Gasols that cattle were her main occupation.

Heuksaryeonju Yoo Gil-jun did not have much of a housemaster. I had a strong desire to win, or rather, a little bit of curiosity, but…

I just felt the need to sort out the forces under the Black Silhouettes that had become powerful. By taking advantage of the Sacheon Branch and the status of Hujisu. I didn’t think the Black Snake Lord would move that much.

However, as always, things in this world do not go as planned.
