Chapter 54 Aren’t You Scared

Chapter 54 Aren't You Scared?

Horses traveling along a sun-dappled ridge road.
The fifty or so men pulling more than twenty large carts were the Hongmyo Sangha.
This is how many people were mobilized to bring in the hundreds of chunks of molten iron that Chulryuhun mentioned earlier.
At the head of the procession were Ye Yunlang, a diner at the White House, and Hui Buyong, the owner of the Hong Mausoleum.
On the right side of the ridge road, steep cliffs descended, and the view was unobstructed, and the vista of small and large peaks clustered in the distance could not have been more beautiful.
The leaves were at their peak and colorful, and I wondered if this was what they call “eye candy”.
Ye Yunlang suddenly turned his head and admired the colorful colors in that direction with his eyes.
“You said the color of the four mountains…… is spectacular.”
Hee Booyong, who was sitting next to me, smiled.
“Hoo hoo, isn’t that right, every time I drive by here, I get lost in that picturesque view.”
“In all my years of wandering alone, I’ve rarely been so inspired by nature.”
It was a no-brainer.
I hadn’t had much time to think about it before my encounter with the Iron Flowing Cloud, as I’d been preoccupied with finding the lair of the Inquisitor Ascended Sword Dragon Fahon.
“It’s so beautiful on the outside, but it’s not so beautiful on the inside.”
Ye Yunlang’s eyes widened at Hui Buyong’s meaningful words.
“Hmmm, looks like there’s a bandit band lurking after all.”
“Yeah. I’m telling you now, the quickest shortcut is over there, but I’m purposely going back this way because of that gang. It’s worth the loss of time to get to…….”
“If you’re at the top of the Hong Mausoleum, there’s no reason to avoid them, so why bother?”
It was a bit questionable for Ye Unrang.
The Hongmyo Merchants’ Association is a merchant organization that represents Baekju, along with its arch-rival, the Qingxiong Merchants’ Association.
Not only do they have their own sophisticated military organization, but they also have ties to many of the region’s mu muns, so they can get mercenaries whenever they want.
A group of bandits would have killed themselves as soon as they saw the flag at the top of the Red Mausoleum, so why are they avoiding the rough sheep path first?
But Hee’s answer was unexpected.
“That’s the territory of the Green Alliance.”
Ye Yunlang’s eyes narrowed.
“What, greenery?
The Green Foresters are, in short, a group of bandits.
No, it’s just like any other living thing, right?
Someone who doesn’t know the ins and outs will probably ask that question.
However, with a decade-long history, the Green Forest Alliance has been recognized as a major force within the mighty Murim.
Unlike a typical band of bandits, the Sanchae were made up of eighty percent of the members from the prestigious Great Sect and the Gunso Sect.
The Green Forest Blinds were a group of disaffected individuals who had been kicked out by their respective masters for misbehavior, who had become bandits for a living.
Ye Unrang didn’t know that either.
The power of the Green Forest Alliance, comprised of Martial Sect practitioners, was something that smaller sects could easily ignore.
Furthermore, the Meng’s core forces included many of the most elite Gaojin-class uninhabited islands that represented the Ilmun, which the Enganhan Mumun could not dare to touch.
It’s understandable that Hong Miao Top would be so reluctant to create friction.
But.
The Green Forest Alliance’s base is Aposan in the southern part of the Hubei region, not Honam, which raises another question.
“Did you really extend the age to the green blind?”
Hee Buyong nodded in response to Ye Yunlang’s question.
“As you are well aware, the Green Forest Alliance has been steadily growing in size over the past decade, and about half a year ago, they made their way here, in northern Hunan. They came down the trunk of the mountain range that connects the two regions, and they’ve made a stealthy nest.”
“What if…… drove out the existing bandits and set up an affiliate?”
“That’s right, this cliff you see is the boundary. We estimate the total number of people alive is a little over a hundred.”
“Well, that’s a lot of people for a mountain village. This is Sanhai, a green-eyed warrior…….”
“I hear you’re the eleventh living member of the Greenwood Clan, though it’s not official.”
“Somehow, I don’t think Chae Joo is an unusual person.”
“He’s from a big family, even a very old and prestigious family.”
Ye Yunlang had an idea as soon as he heard it.
“Nine Great Schools?”
The nine great schools he was referring to were the nine most prestigious schools of the Chung Sect with a long history and tradition.
“He was technically a member of the Huashan sect.”
Located in Chapter, Shaanxi province, Huashan School is a holy place of Taoist martial arts, a place where the term “prestigious” is not at all unwarranted.
No.
All of the old schools were like that.
The Shaolin Temple in Chapter, the Mudang School on Mount Song, the Mudang School on Mount Mudang, the Ami School on Mount Ami, the Huangshan School on Mount Huangshan, and so on, all of them were the best holy places representing the martial arts of Buddhism and Taoism.
While the Seven Great Families are generally synonymous with secular prestigious families, the Old Families are synonymous with religious prestigious families.
‘If you’re a member of the Chapter sect…… then you’re basically a swordsman who’s good with a sword.’
Ye Yunlang mutters to himself and nods his head slightly.
It didn’t surprise me that the boss over there was a huge, prestigious Volcanic Sect.
He was already a Shaolin monk from the Shaolin Temple, the center of the Green Forest Alliance and the pinnacle of the old school.
“How is he doing?”
“Have you heard of the star sign Han Mae Sword?”
Han Mae Sword, Hee Bu Yong said, was one of the first-rate swordsmen the Chapter Sect had produced.
“I’ve heard rumors a couple of times in the past, that he’s an elite swordsman of the Chapter Sect, wielding a sword herb as fierce and cold as the Chapter plum blossoms in winter…… You mean he’s the leader of that place?”
“Yes.”
“I didn’t know he was excommunicated, a first-rate swordsman of the Chapter.”
“It’s said that there are other prestigious schools besides the Old School. In Han Mae Sword’s case, he was fed up with the strict discipline of the clan and left on his own. This is also not officially known. To be honest, I’m more afraid of the Meng Zhu behind Han Mae Sword than I am of Han Mae Sword, and that’s why we don’t want to cause unnecessary friction.”
“Here is…….”
Ye Unrang agreed.
It is said that the water level of the Wugong in Qixil Green Forest Mengzhu is comparable to that of the Honam Five Day Festival here.
He glanced to the side and asked.
“By the way, where is that living thing sitting?”
He pointed his slender index finger at a peak in the distance.
“Over there, no, no, no. Not there, over there, see that little round peak?”
Ye Yunlang ran his fingertips along the peak of the mountain and smiled faintly.
I suddenly remembered the iron currents.
“Hmm, what would you have done?
Suddenly, there was a loud bang and an echo, and I saw something rising from a distant peak.
The dust name.
That wasn’t the end of the story.
Bang, bang…… bang…… bang…… bang……!
A series of heavy echoes traveled the distance, pounding the eardrums of the men of the Red Mausoleum Transport.
At the same time, a massive dust storm rose over the peak.
Ye Yunlang and Hui Buyong, who were staring at them, were so stunned that they were dumbfounded.
“Are you sure that’s the Sanchae you were talking about…… over there?”
“Ah…… yes…… obviously…….”
They muttered to each other, unable to take their eyes off the peak.
That cancer alone looks like a large-scale attack by a mysterious force on the Greenwoods.
Ye Yunlang narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth again.
“A man named Han Mae-gum…… who looks like a Chapter with all its leaves ripped off…….”
Hee-Buyong nodded and said.
“Uh, anyway…… good thing you got back on the road, we could have gotten swept up in that…….”
Immediately, they both had the same thought.
Which faction’s lunatic is responsible for that raid? No, you’re not afraid of the Greenwoodsmen?
* * *
“Moo…… scary!
A man in his thirties, standing alone in the yard in the middle of the ruins, looked horrified.
He was the owner of the place and an elite swordsman of the old Chapter sect.
One reason for his pale complexion at the moment was a young man standing leisurely not far ahead, his face expressionless.
Who.
The bastard who beat up twenty of his men and dragged them away, and then mangled them alive.
Gulp.
Swallowing dryly, Boodonam sneaked a glance at the floor around him.
Bandits sprawled out as if they were corpses.
Except for the forty who went out to work, all the fifty or so who stayed here fainted and collapsed.
What’s even crazier.
‘crazy…….’
I realized that half of the courtesy people were the crazy asshole in front of me, and the other half were the crazy horse next to him.
That’s when the young man spoke up.
“Money.”
Short and bold.
The young man’s identity was Chulyu Hyun.
Flinching, the bum stammered.
“All right, I’ll…… you right now.”
At the twitching of the iron currents, Boudonam quickly rummaged through the pile of debris to one side and pulled out a box of some sort.
“Here…….”
He tilted his Red Sword toward the ground and stepped toward the chest.
dulcuddle
He lifted the lid of the box, looked inside, and said.
“Is this all you got, the famous green blindness?”
This is a way of saying that the amount is less than you initially expected.
“Actually, Bon Meng has only been here for half a year, so I’m not sure if she’s been active…….”
“Then why aren’t you fighting, you’re a swordsman from the Chapter.”
Chulleuhyeon asked, closing the lid, and Budonam hesitated for a moment, then exclaimed in a shaky voice, “I’m sorry.
“Well, I’m scared!”
“That’s honest. Good, next time you’ll have more.”
“…….”
What, you’re coming back for the money?
“This asshole…… is looking at me too favorably.
Yeah, I was a little intimidated.
We saw your skill in taking down the minions earlier.
But unlike your frightened self, you already have the next number ready in your head.
‘Did you think that this body that has learned the Chapter’s sword would retreat gracefully? The opportunity to strike at an opening must come. I’ll settle the score in a single blow!
Among the many famous sword arts within the Chapter, the one he had mastered in the past was the Plum Blossom Secret Sword, which utilizes the art of swordplay as its core.
In fact, that series of swords is very effective when it comes to ambushing your opponent from behind.
Of course, such behavior was considered taboo by the Chapter.
So I got kicked out.
Ever since I learned to be polite, I’ve been a fan of dastardly rear-guard ambushes, a crime that has brought disrepute to the name of the old school.
The lid slammed shut, and the fellow’s eyes lit up.
“Okay, the moment he turns around, I’m going to be able to get to……!
Suddenly, Chulhyeon looked up with a “Huh?” look on his face.
“An asshole flying through the sky?”
Even Budonam’s head snapped up like, ‘What?
Bam-!
The body of the bankrupt man who had been struck in the jaw by Iron Ripple’s fist floated into thin air.
“That fools me.”
Immediately afterward, the Red Sword unleashed a sword wind that drew colorful lines like fluttering flower petals.
Shushu shu shu ― Pupupupuung – !
The powerful sword force swept him away, sending him flying into the distance, landing with a thud.
“Off…… heh…… did you just say that was…… Meihua Seven-Rank Sword……?”
The gleam of disbelief in a pair of half-closed eyes.
It’s no illusion.
It was the Chapter Sect’s Sectmaster Plum Blossom Sevenfold Sword, which I had seen many times when I was at the Temple.
While the hollow attributes were different, the swordplay itself was clearly the same as the movement.
“How did that guy get to……?
Mr. Budonam’s short question ended in a huff.
“This is how ambush works.”
Muttering to himself, Chuliu Hsin tied the money box to Xin Feng’s back.
‘I’ve been meaning to visit the Green Forest at some point, but this is just the right time.
Everything you do is part of your plan.
It’s just a difference in order.
Resting his ass on the saddle, he squeezed the reins and said.
“Okay, let’s go find the poop knife.”
At the same time, they cut a straight line through the dense forest like a fresh wind blowing a new path.
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-quack-quack-quack-quack-quack-!
