Chapter 111 The Roots of Reason

The impresario, who had been pontificating on his hands and knees, gulped down a few gulps from the bottle, his throat burning, and sighed again.
“Uh-oh…….”
I don’t know how many times this has happened today.
You’re going to burn my neck.
You’re probably burning up inside.
“Oh, I’m going to drink all the hollandaise.”
He suddenly saw the stern face of Namgung Sanglin across from him and smirked.
“Huh. I see you’ve turned as white as a sheet.”
“Ah…….”
Nan Gongsanglin’s face immediately changed color.
Boudonam poured himself a drink from two empty glasses and nodded as if he understood.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now that I’ve explained it to you in such detail, you can’t believe it anymore. Cancer, surprise is a natural reaction.”
“Ah, yes. Now, that’s a surprise.”
Namgung Sanglin, who answered so casually, felt drunk and drained his glass coldly.
‘I can’t believe I’m hearing about him this way…….’
I can’t pretend to know.
The crazy horse that Budonam mentioned was named Xinfeng, and the crazy bastard was the current young master of the White House Gate, Chuliu Heng…….
“I’m stumped.
As they say.
His current destination is the Baekbak Sword Gate, and he never expected that the gatekeeper, Cheol Ryuhyeon, would be the one to turn the prosthetic body over.
Namgungsanglin asks, coyly.
“Well, sir, do you have any other guesses?”
Just to see if we have any clues as to the identity of the Iron Stream.
“Woohoo…… is gone, so my example is dead.”
The mopey, muttering to himself, finished the story.
“He mangled him alive and then demanded money with that cavalier air, and I was convinced again. I knew it was him, the man rumored to be riding around on a crazy horse extorting bandits.”…….”
Namgung Sanglin couldn’t help but smile inwardly.
‘Huh, to hear that rumor…… is an odd man out, though that was my first impression.’
Meanwhile, Budonam continues to talk.
“When I first heard the rumors, I didn’t think he was a master. When I first heard the rumors, I didn’t think he was a master, as I’m sure everyone did, but when I finally came face-to-face with him, …… my hair stood on end, and I felt like I was in the afterlife, alone in a field of dead bodies, but I was helpless to resist him.”
Namgung Sanglin asked in a somewhat questioning tone.
“What? So you just gave it all away?”
Even if Chu Liuhui’s strength was beyond his years, Budonan was also a first-rate swordsman of considerable renown.
As an elite swordsman of the Chapter Sect, he is said to be able to wield sword herbs as fierce and cold as plum blossoms in winter, earning him the nickname Han Mae Sword…….
So I assumed there would be at least some sort of outburst.
But the way he just said it makes it sound like he did everything Chul Ryuhon told him to do.
“Kwak! I’m going to be honest with you, …… I was a little scared at the time, no, a lot scared. So…… asked me for money, so I brought out a box with my own riches. I felt like I was possessed, and all I could think about was getting the hell out of here.”
“Hmm…… not a bad idea.”
Nangong Shanglin’s expression immediately changed as if she had just said those words out loud.
“Huh? What, you’re saying……? You have a point?”
When Budonan shook his head, Nan Gongsanglin quickly held out his hands.
“Old? Oh, no, I mean, what I mean is that…… coping can happen if you’re extremely nervous because something unexpected happened, so don’t be too ashamed of yourself.”
“Oh, I’m…… again, hmmm, right, it’s not just because I’m an asshole, is it?”
“I mean, it would have been the same if it was me, you know, some faceless, unheard-of masters barging in and wreaking havoc.”
“Foot, you really know how to comfort people, that’s nice to hear, but I’m sure you’ll have nightmares for a while. What can you do, it’s already happened…….”
Boudonam took another drink and continued.
“Although I was frightened at the time, I didn’t put up any resistance until the end. As you know, the attribute of the Plum Rain Spirit Sword I’ve mastered is the swift sword technique, so it’s quite easy to use it for surprise in certain situations… although it’s taboo in the Chapter Sect to use it like that.”
“Uh, so did you get a chance to take over at the end?”
Nan Gongsanglin immediately realized, and Budonam shook his head slightly.
“I was going to cut him off at the knees. The second he turned around with the box, I’d be on him. And then that fucking crazy asshole…….”
His face crumples in an unsightly way as he speaks.
“……Ah, well, I was trying to sneak a peek, but I fell for his shallow tricks. Wow, man, I’ve never seen a guy pull that shit before.”
“What’s that……?”
“An asshole flying through the sky?”
“……?”
“He suddenly looked at the air and said something like that, which made me look up in surprise, and I saw a dog’s horn flying through the air……!”
“…….”
“Then he caught me by surprise and punched me hard in the jaw, and just as I was floating up, he blocked the sword wind…… and it was over. I ended up on the ground and blacked out.”
“Ah…….”
Nangong Shanglin didn’t know what to say.
It’s just too bad.
Meanwhile, Budonam let out a heavy roar as he replayed the moment in his mind.
“Big……! I clearly heard what he said right before he blacked out. He’s a fool, and he insulted me the whole time.”
Nan Gongsanglin continued to drink and muttered to himself.
“You’re lucky the iron gatekeeper didn’t identify himself.
But I’m worried about the cleanup.
Of course, the Green Forest Alliance’s personnel were showing off their newly expanded territory, and since they were the first to touch it, they had a justifiable cause to act.
One approach was radical.
They didn’t just tinker with it, they burned it alive.
I don’t think Chuliuhun is unaware of the prestige of the Paju Green Forest Alliance in Apo Mountain in the southern tip of Hubei Province, which borders this area, but I don’t know how they made such a big deal out of it.
Did you really think you could keep your identity a secret?
No, the behavior is too obvious for that.
There are few words that have the power of a godsend.
When the next Fudonam arrives at the Green Forest Alliance and reports to me, I know that Meng Zhu, whose color is the Hubei Sextant, will not remain silent.
If they realize that Chul Ryu-hyeon is the new gatekeeper at the White House, they’re going to try to establish some form of civility.
I figured it was only a matter of time before they found out.
While it’s true that the Green Foresters aren’t the kind of people who would start an all-out war recklessly, the power disparity between the two factions is so great that it’s entirely possible they could make some sort of unreasonable demand…….
“Does the iron gate have a secret plan?
Yes, just like the last time they raided Tang Langmu, they pulled off a trick reminiscent of Bing Ma Gong, but I wonder if they have a solution for this one.
I can’t figure out what’s going on inside of him anyway.
He emptied his glass, ordered another bottle of Chapter, and made a meaningful two-faced face.
“But, ah…… what I’m most puzzled about is how the bastard knew and spoke the language of Chapter.”
Nangong Shanglin’s eyes widened at the unexpected sound.
“Yes?”
“Plum Blossom Sword.”
“……!”
“The way the swordstyle was cast, following the rapid movement of the blade, was exactly like that.”
Then Nan Gongsanglin asked in surprise.
“Brother, are you mistaking……?”
“No. When I was in the Chapter Mountain Sect, I saw the Plum Blossom Seven Profound Sword many times, and although the…… inner attributes were different, the sword technique itself was clearly the same.”
As Budonam asserted with conviction, Nan Gongsanglin felt a little dazed.
”Oh my god, that’s a high-level sword art within the Chapter Sect, and I thought it could only be mastered by a swordsman who has attained the sixth rank or higher……! Well, you’re right, there’s no way you could be mistaken.”
You stayed in the Chapter until you grew into a mature swordsman.
He’s even a mid-level swordsman who’s qualified as a master swordsman, so he’s probably more familiar with the techniques, techniques, and techniques.
Suddenly, Nangong Shanglin felt a strange shiver run down his spine as he was left with a question he couldn’t quite understand.
”An Iron Moon Lord who isn’t even a disciple of the Chapter Sect knows how to wield the Plum Blossom Seven Profound Sword, then what you said then was……!”
Chul Ryu-Heon said this without batting an eye.
It is possible to reconstruct the Namgung Sega, as well as the rest of the major swordsmanship that was practiced.
At this point, I have a hunch that it’s not entirely impossible.
If I had my way, I’d go to the White House checkpoint to see his true colors and abilities.
May the Bumblebee pour himself a drink again, and rant and rave.
“I don’t know if this path I’ve chosen is the right one. I’m not unhappy with my life as a blind man, but…… phew.”
Then Namgung Sanglin cautiously picked up the phone.
“Brother, I know this is presumptuous, but…… why don’t you go to Chapter sometime and ask for re-initiation, I know you still have some love for the place, honestly.”
The implication was that he hadn’t committed a felony and been excommunicated in the first place, so if he came back to the church at the right time, they would take that into account to some extent.
Boudonam paused for a moment in thought, then spoke in a muffled voice.
“Love…… would be a more accurate description. When I was a disciple of the Chapter Sect, the only person who stood by my side was Master……, but even he has lost his power.”
Soon, his throat was dry with alcohol, and he sank back in his chair, his eyes dark.
“The Chapter’s old noble plum has withered away, and the talk is good, but they’re all steeped in worldly habits and squabbling; and now, now, let’s say no more of our Chapter, for I’ve got enough trouble with the business of this Meng right now.”
“Yes, I see, no wonder your head is hurting, your hard-earned sanctuary has crumbled to dust…….”
“Oh, that’s not what I meant, I was referring to the inherent problems with Bon Meng.”
“Yes?”
“The root of why Bon Meng was trying to expand the world a bit too much.”
“You must have a story I don’t know about.”
Nodding, the tramp clinked his glass and said.
“Well, it’s the probate.”
“……!”
Nangong Shanglin’s eyes flickered slightly.
The seal, the name of the all-too-famous Safa Mumun.
In addition.
The stars and full names of the characters there are familiar to few, even to those who have no enemies in the Murim.
Arthropods are small.
A supreme powerhouse with a devastating, devastating swordplay and a reputation to match.
‘Arthropod Swordzone is a tangled figure who does no good. What’s going on between the Green Forest Meng and the Sealing Gate……?’
