Chapter 102 Unexpected Tragedy

Nuhm’s surprise was short-lived, and he shook his head as he remembered a question.
“What does the Arthropod Swordzone covet about the Ghostblade?
It’s a little hard to understand.
The Arthropod Sword Zhen’s sword method, which was included in the Hubei Hexagonal Star, was so domineering and overwhelming that it was feared by all uninitiated people.
Fiery Great Hexblade (Destructive Great Six Sword).
A devastating blade that represents and symbolizes the majesty of the mighty, superlative swordsman, Arthropod Bladezone.
In particular, the last two herbivorous stanzas, Zhiqi and Tianqi, are considered to be the most over-the-top.
If you spread out the ji section, the vast expanse of the earth is split, and if you spread out the cheon section, the high sky is split.
It was a terrifying description that was always talked about.
It was even rumored to be a sword art worthy of top ranking, even if it was not limited to the Hubei region but expanded to the whole heavens.
It’s rare to find a sword-eating martial artist who doesn’t know the name of a courtesy sword.
The current stature of the Arthropod Swordzone is also due to the existence of the Fierce Fleshblade.
One.
The mechanics of the Fierce Fleshblade are fundamentally different from those of the Haunted Sword.
So, as a flaw, I couldn’t help but wonder.
Whereas the main focus of the Fierce Fleshblade is to be powerful and steady, the Haunted Sword is all about quick changes.
Grafting and Coexistence of Yotes?
Well, it’s possible, but it’s more likely that it will halve the power of the Fierce Fleshblade itself.
It was already more different than it was aligned.
Was his curiosity piqued by the advancement of the Heavenly Sword Demon Yin Lun, a superpower in the region, and was he seeking it out to keep it as a kind of collection?
Seo Moonwol, who had already wiped the smile off his face, realized what he meant and asked.
“Inscrutable?”
Then Noom scratches his forehead slightly.
“Yes, that’s right, why would he want to get his hands on a spirit sword with a different grain than the Fiery Greatsword…….”
“Not just different grains. The purpose is different.”
Seo Moonwol’s meaningful words flashed across Nuhm’s eyes.
“You mean you don’t really want the gist of the law, but just to get the booklet?”
“Similar.”
“Yes?”
“What the Arthropod Swordzone really wants is to completely erase all traces of the Thousand Sword Eyes Yin Ring’s life.”
Nu Hm’s pupils rippled once more as he quietly spoke.
“……!”
What it means.
That’s when Moonwol Seo took over.
“More precisely, he wants to take its only legacy, progress, and destroy it himself. So that it can no longer lead to someone else.”
He looked at her with a look of disbelief.
“No, why……?”
“In the past, the Thousand Sword Guards made one big mistake, which earned them the wrath of a certain figure.”
For a moment, Nhuim’s face changed.
“Oh, well, then…….”
It’s because I had a hunch.
Seo Moon-wol confirmed it.
“Back then, it was the Arthropod Sword Spirit that sent the Thousand Sword Demon to the afterlife.”
“……!”
Blemish’s surprised look.
I had some idea, but hearing it out loud was a bit of a shock.
‘I never thought they had some sort of grudge match…….’
The decapitated body of the Heavenly Sword Demon Yin Lun was discovered more than a decade ago, and while the martial arts world has been buzzing with speculation, no one has been able to come to a conclusion as to the identity of the beast.
Moreover, the timing of the Southern Palace’s reign coincided strangely with the events, and the more they argued, the more mysterious the questions became.
By the way.
No one in the world could have predicted that the life of the great Arthropod Sword King of the Northern Hexagon would be taken.
“Master, what kind of secret history exists between the Arthropod Sword Realm and the Heavenly Sword Demon?”
“In his lifetime, the Heavenly Sword Guy was always very lustful, and he had many women in his life.”
“Yes, I’ve heard of it. He was famous for having hot sex every night…….”
The stuttering that clouded his words was palpable.
“Right, that’s the root of the chapter.”
“Yeah. It’s a woman thing.”
“It feels a little hollow.”
“At that time, he went to the Hubei region and wandered around, and he fell in love with a beautiful woman, who happened to be the favorite concubine of the Arthropod Sword King.”
“Hmph, so that’s how things got so twisted. I can pretty much guess what happened after……. Eventually, the Arthropod Sword King found out about it, and he personally tracked down the Heavenly Sword Demon and fought a life-and-death battle with it, and the result was the death of the Heavenly Sword Demon…….”
“Right. We don’t know the details of the fight, but it proves that the Arthropod Swordzone is a force to be reckoned with, even if it was a shady affair.”
“Indeed, the strength of the Arthropod Sword Realm is indeed extraordinary. At that time, the Heavenly Sword Demon was also making a name for himself as a top-ranked powerhouse in the Sect…….”
Seo Moonwol drained his glass and stood still as Nuhm clucked his tongue.
“The power of the Fierce Great Flesh Sword is comparable to many of the Ascended Swords of our family. You shouldn’t be surprised.”
It was an honest compliment.
But there was a hint of pride in his serene gaze, a hint of being out of his league.
We know the flaws.
That they deserve it.
“You are indeed a vicious man. His anger and hatred for the Thousand Sword Demon I killed with my own hands still runs so deep that he’s willing to cut off the threads of progress…… even though it’s been more than a decade. Somehow, Salt Sojourner has passed away with a great tragedy.”
“You understand everything now, right?”
“Yes, Master. The abrupt interruption of the mission is due to his recent exposure to the history of courtesy.”
Nuhm nodded, and Seo Moonwol turned to face him.
“I don’t want the Thousand Sword Ears’ superiority to cause friction with the Arthropod Swordzone.”
“That’s right, the Arthropod Swordzone, and the Sword Seal Gate he leads, are not to be trifled with, as they contain many of the top masters in the region.”
“Besides, we’re…… not supposed to be seen by the world yet.”
With that, Seo Moonwol poured himself another drink.
Then the voice of Nuhm, whose eyes shone, dropped even lower.
“If what the Iron Streamer said is true, then we’re naturally the next target of the Arthropod Swordzone.”
“It was real.”
“Old?”
“He executed the herbivorous ear spinning wheel that the previous Heavenly Sword Guy had enjoyed so much in his previous life to near perfection.”
“heh…… such…….”
“Not to be trifled with. Even a yachtsman with a sword can be like that.”
“Oh, did Ammyungjeonju…… end up getting screwed over?”
“Breathed his last.”
“……!”
As Nuhum’s complexion hardened, Seo briefly explained what had happened.
“My goodness…… it’s a mystery to me that Chul Ryu-Heon’s talent is so extraordinary.”
“It was pretty good, but the ammunition was not as good as I thought it would be.”
“Hana Mingyue Gumshoe is the equivalent of Honam Five Day Festival…….”
“As good as, but that word has its limits. It means that there is room for improvement compared to the benchmark, but not to match it…….”
You’re right.
Because to be good enough means to be just below the best.
In other words, the lowly swordmaster, who was called Mingfu Swordmaster, was only under the Honorary Five, and could not stand shoulder to shoulder with the five.
“Hana arthropods are different. It’s not as powerful as the Ammyung Jeon.”
“Yes, he’s a true North Star.”
Once again, Seomunwol smiles thinly.
“That’s what makes it so exciting.”
“His strange qualities seem to have intrigued you quite a bit.”
“Huh, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t.”
“I’ll let the words fall into his ears soon enough, and tell him that Chu Liuhui has memorized all the phrases of the Spirit Sword Technique and ripped up the booklet, and he’ll probably react immediately.”
Xu Wenyue emptied another glass full of liquor and shook his hand lightly.
“Arthur, this is not the time.”
“……?”
“It means there’s no need to rush. Let’s just drop one small clue and wait for it to happen. Let it happen stealthily.”
“Why bother, it’s not like you’re going to be doing it yourself anyway, so you might as well get on with it…….”
“I have priorities for the time being. I just want to get that done and then I’ll be comfortable with the news of his passing.”
“Have you been given any other new assignments?”
“What.”
“What if it’s……?”
“Closing the Pipe.”
“……!”
“I plan to start as soon as I get back home. And…….”
Xu Wenyue’s eyes soon lingered on Nu Hm’s face.
“You will be with me.”
“Old? I was…….”
“I’m sure it’s made him feel even more compelled to rise to the top.”
Seo’s point is well taken, and he admits his flaws.
“Yes…… that is.”
“So tell your father, so that he may hear it without judgment. Know that.”
“If anything, it might interfere with your closure training. Frankly, my talents are best utilized in…….”
“Enough. Stop worrying about a series of accomplishments. I will give you my full support, including elixirs, with the authority I have, and all you have to do is to live up to my expectations by practicing your closure cultivation.”
Seo’s words struck a chord with Noohum.
“Thank you. I’ll make sure it pays off.”
“I expect.”
“Ah…… suddenly I’m a little worried about something, what if Chul Ryu Hyeon, who is so talented, is also improving so fast? His performance today was so monstrous…….”
“Unless he gains a Transmogrification-level enlightenment while we’re in the middle of our Closed Pavilion training, we’ll never defeat the Arthropod Swordzone.”
“Yes, Hagiya…… I won’t bother with that anymore. By the way, are there any other communications regarding this mission abort now?”
Seo Moonwol was silent for a moment, sipping at his glass, then spoke.
“None.”
I didn’t say much.
In fact, the most important reason is not the presence of the arthropod sword, but the clue about the martial sword…….
-As you know, you can’t just awaken the divine power of the Martial Sword, so you need to master its power as quickly as possible if you want to become its wielder and walk the path of dominance.
With Yeom Sang-ah’s words echoing in his head, Seo Moon-wol poured the drink down his throat and muttered to himself.
“If I ever truly find the whereabouts of the Martial Sword, I will be the one to claim it.
The accomplishment of this closing retreat is paramount to that goal.
One month for short, three months for long.
His eyes were filled with a feverish gleam, as if he was already looking forward to going in and out of the ward.
* * *
In a large yard on the grounds of the White House gates, I see six huge bathtubs filled with water.
Chul Ryu-hyeon suddenly appeared in front of everyone in the audience, including Ip Hwan and Ko Moo-gak.
“Is everyone here?”
“Yes!”
The power source replied with a loud bark, followed by Chul’s impassive voice.
“Bath initiation, undressing.”
Then you threw off your clothes and became naked, without me knowing what to do.
Then.
Chul Ryuhon looks off to one side, his voice blunt.
“Why are you guys naked?”
A gaze toward a group of naked laborers.
The messenger received the words with a puzzled look on his face.
“What? Bar, did you just tell me to take it all off…… weren’t we supposed to be taking a bath together?”
He looks puzzled.
I hadn’t heard what was going on because I had been instructed to fill it up with water as soon as the iron currents came.
“You think this is just a bath?”
With those words, Iron Liu Heng glanced down at the navel of the workers and frowned.
“Put that away. It’s dirty.”
At the same time, the workers all giggled.
Eek, ours is dirty and theirs isn’t!
