Chapter 221

Chapter 221

“Oh, so that’s the kid.”
Gu Hongcheng’s eyes flashed as he recognized Bu Eunseol at a glance.
“Where is the Green Horror?”
Bu Eun-sul pointed to her waist.
Tied to it was a calabash with a bluish hue. It was the new product of the open sea, Green Horror.
“Why did you call Elder Vaughn here?”
“I think you know better.”
Gu Hongcheng looked at the sky and laughed in disbelief.
“Hahahaha, that’s a lot of confidence!”
He stopped laughing and opened his mouth with a murderous expression.
“In all his life, the old man has never seen a man with a swollen liver like yours.”
“…….”
“He’s a candidate to succeed him, so he must have some skills. No…… maybe he’s got the ability to share the palm with Elder Vaughn.”
Muttering to himself, he looked at Bu Eunseol and smirked.
“But you know nothing of this elder’s character.”
“What do you mean?”
“What would this elder gain by fighting and defeating a pyramid like you?”
Gu Hongcheng sneered and sighed.
“All I’m going to get is the stigma of killing some immature kid.”
Bu Eun-sul only smiled.
“Is that why you’re wearing a bunch of bandos?”
“Hmph. You already knew that.”
Gu Hongcheng raised his hand, and a group of open martial artists in tattered clothes slowly appeared around the fable table.
Gu Hongcheng had Mu Hong, an elder of the Palo who secretly followed him. Delivered the decree to Qin Wentian.
Elder Qin secretly gave orders to mobilize all the rooms under his command to surround the entire Wu Huadian.
“If you had challenged Elder Vaughn fairly…… perhaps you would have had a chance to fight him one-on-one.”
A sun-like flame burned in Gu Hongcheng’s eyes.
“But you have robbed this room of its sacred objects.”
“…….”
“Did you really think you could go one-on-one with Nobu after what you did?”
Taking a deep breath, Gu Hongcheng spoke again in a low voice.
“The Green Horo that Bijou carried is the greatest treasure in this chamber, and anyone who takes it will be attacked by all the Fang Dao.”
The opening states that an enemy who has captured a new item can mobilize multiple ways to use it.
Now that Bu Eun-sul has stolen Wen’s divine artifact, he has an excuse to mobilize Wen’s disciples to attack him.
“Since there is such a rule in this room, no one can point the finger at Elder Bon, even if…… mobilized ten thousand openings instead of one thousand.”
Gu Hongcheng laughed, revealing his yellow teeth.
“Alas, you bounced the wrong abacus.”
“You’re telling me you’ll avoid one-on-one confrontations because you’re afraid of me.”
“Hmph. There’s no point in spreading out your armor.”
Gu Hongcheng sneered.
“You’re only a candidate to succeed Mazen, while Nobu is the body that will be the ark that will carry the entire Fang Province for years to come. How can you possibly compete one-on-one with the young squire of the Madao?”
Bu Eunseol, a candidate to succeed Ma Jeon.
His skills will never be ordinary. Gu Hongcheng, like the old ginger he is, is warding off even the slightest danger.
“If we’ve found the ark, there’s no point in mingling with the dangers.
After obtaining the Green Lake, Gu Hongcheng becomes an open lord in charge of a large number of fiefdoms.
From his perspective, he doesn’t need to risk fighting a simple antiseptic like swollen tongue.
“Disciples in this room, listen!”
Gu Hongcheng exclaimed in a solemn voice.
“I want the author of this chamber’s robbery to be vanquished once and for all.”
Chuck!
Then the open swordsmen on the fable table slammed their long sticks into the ground once, and slowly began to move toward Buunseol.
Jumbled.
The bandits just creeped up on them slowly.
But when a thousand people walked by in a row, it was enough to make a mountain out of a molehill.
“Seriously, you’re trying to avoid a fight?”
“Think whatever you want.”
“You’re afraid of losing.”
Bu Eun-sul, who had smiled coldly, looked at the distant sky and sighed deeply.
“Surely, at your age, if you seek and covet power, in what years will you be able to cultivate the supreme martial arts?”
A flash of recognition flashed across Gu Hongcheng’s eyes.
Bu Eun-sul’s sharp words pierced his lungs.
“Do they think I’m just a power-hungry old man?”
Gu Hongcheng wore a solemn expression.
“This room was once the most powerful in the world. But as time passed, its power declined and its organization became disorganized.”
And he said in exasperation.
“My priest, Yan Yu Sheng, was no better than this elder, nor were Mu Gong and Zimo. But because he was chosen by his predecessor, he became an ark, and as a result, this room has been on a downward spiral ever since!”
Taking a deep breath, Gu Hongcheng bit her lip.
“And Luo Feng, who became the next Ark, had no ambition, only selling information to other sects to keep his faction close.”
He let out a harsh breath, as if remembering the years that had passed.
“If Elder Bon had been on the ark long ago and handled the affairs of the Fang Clan…… the Fang Clan would have gone beyond Shaolin and become the greatest in the world.”
In fact, Gu Hongcheng loves openness more than anyone. That’s why he wants it to be a strong defense.
However, despite being the largest power in the entire realm, he grew tired of the Murim’s behavior of selling information and resented them.
“Even at your age, you don’t know how a breakwater works.”
“What?”
“I don’t know why openness has survived as long as it has, when there are so many ways to do it.”
Buunsun made a low snorting sound.
“Wherever large numbers of people gather, things inevitably rot.”
He looked at Gu Hongcheng with a cold gaze.
“Instead of building up power, openness is a survival strategy that involves symbiosis with the downstream world and exchanging information networks.”
For a moment, Gu Hongcheng’s expression stiffened slightly.
Bu Eun-sul’s words were the same ones he had heard from Sang-woon, his ark in his youth.
“Hmm, what do you think you know about the room you saw?”
He shook his head as if to clear the thought from his mind.
“We don’t need to talk anymore.”
Chug-chug-chug.
Before I knew it, the open road was about a dozen sheets away from the snow.
Then he called out once more in a loud voice to the Open Doors.
“Deal with the author once and for all and take back the green light in this room!”
No matter how great a martial artist Bu Eun-sul is, he cannot defeat a thousand fang daoists.
And if Gu Hongcheng is secretly involved? Death will be the only thing left for Bu Eunseul.
Purr.
That’s when a strange thing happened.
The last of the thousand or so bandos quickly rushed forward.
But instead of attacking Buunseol, they turned and stopped to escort him.
“No?”
Seeing that, Gu Hongcheng rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Why would the disciples of Openness side with a Maoist figure, Bu Eun-sul?
Chubbun.
Then the ranks of the assembled fencers opened, and a beggar with a tattered cloth on his head walked out, carrying a long stick.
Eek.
He pulled back the cloth covering his face, revealing a clean-cut, middle-aged man in the sunlight.
It was the current ark of the opening, the sea wind.
“Sea breeze, you…….”
Gu Hongcheng’s eyes widened in surprise.
“How did you get here?”
“…….”
“You can’t be serious, he’s going to side with the squire!”
“The Taoist Elder.”
Sea Wind said with a deep sigh.
“The author is holding a greenhorse, a novelty that this room has been looking for for a long time.”
“So? The elder you’ve just seen has cast the Girl King Decree and surrounded the author.”
“If force was used, the author said he would immediately break the greenhouse.”
Gu Hongcheng was dumbfounded.
It was only then that he realized that Bu Eun-sul had been in secret contact with the sea wind before coming to Wuhua University.
“Did you get in with him?”
“It wasn’t a tip-off, but the author himself came to this room not long ago. He offered to give me the Nokhoro intact if I would allow him to fight Elder Tai Shang alone.”
“So. You’re going to betray Elder Vaughn on his word?”
“How can you be afraid of confronting the author, since there is no way you can be defeated by him?”
Gu Hongcheng chuckled as he pressed down the depths of his heart.
“Afraid? Hahahaha!”
By now, Bu Eunseol had already negotiated with the sea breeze over the green lake path he had found.
He hid it tightly and moved stealthily to the Fables, intermingling it with the other methods he had employed.
“If you try to push him with a lot of force, he’ll immediately break the greenhouse and run away.”
“…….”
“But if Elder Taisang faces him alone, won’t he be able to retrieve the long-sought divine artifact safely?”
“Sea breeze!”
Gu Hongcheng exclaimed in anger.
“You’re using Ning Horo as an excuse to betray this chamber!”
“The Taoist Elder.”
Sea Wind said with a wistful expression.
“The position of the Taoist elder is not to move the forces in this room, but to remind us when we are on the wrong path.”
He sighed deeply and spoke again.
“Then why do you want me to make a plaque that doesn’t even exist, called the Girl Queen’s Plaque, and take a hand in the affairs of the Chamber, and lead this Chamber?”
“You speak, but you don’t listen!”
Gu Hongcheng exclaimed.
“This chamber must grow stronger in the future! But you are living in complacency, using the excuse of being beggars!”
“This room has long been used to socialize with the people and bring them news of the Murim.”
Sea Wind said with a pleading look.
“But if you suddenly pursue the path, how is this room any different from the Maido school?”
“What the hell, Mado!”
“Elder Tao!”
As the argument heated up, so did the sea breeze.
“The position of an Elder is one in which one must advise on the affairs of the court!”
Taking a deep breath, he shouted again.
“From the fact that you’re running some of the intelligence forces in this room and some of the fliers in Palo in the first place…… is wrong!”
For a while, the fable table was silent.
Gu Hongcheng asked in a calm voice, as if he had regained his composure.
“So. What are you going to do about it?”
“Isn’t it true that the old ark has acquired an illness of the heart, so he hasn’t put out a batting cage, nor has he appointed a successor?”
Sea Wind said in a firm voice.
“But now that we have a green ark that’s the equivalent of a pogo stick, we’re going to elect a new ark.”
“Heh, heh, heh, that’s what I was going to do after all.”
Gu Hongcheng smiled wryly.
It’s only now that I realize that this was all a trap of false promises and that I’ve fallen into an irreversible situation.
“So this elder can’t be the ark after all.”
If you wake up from the dead, there’s no way Boon Snow is going to give you the greenhorse.
In the end, all of his plans to become an ark by obtaining a divine object that surpasses the Tagubong are doomed.
“It’s all a bit of a dream.”
We’ve fought so hard to make openness more powerful.
The times had not been kind to him.
Eventually, the sea breeze that brought us to Nokhoro will become the next ark.
“We kept our promise.”
Then the sea breeze spoke to Buunsul.
“Now you, too, keep your word.”
If Gu Hongcheng and Bu Eunseol were to fight, the Green Horoscope at his waist might be shattered.
At the words of the sea wind, Bu Eunsun didn’t hesitate to pull out the green halberd from her waistband and throw it at him.
Chuck.
The sea breeze that took in Nokhoro asked with a thin smile.
“Aren’t you afraid that he won’t honor his promise? I could take this and attack him.”
“You’re not the ark’s lumberjack, either.”
“What do you mean?”
“If openness has been corrupted to that extent, I welcome it.”
Bu Eun-sul said, her eyes never wavering.
“If you’re willing to break your promises without hesitation, it won’t be long before …… becomes a second-rate sect that won’t even be able to enter the old pavilion.”
Haifeng blushed as he realized what he had said.
By saying these things, you have undermined the majesty of openness, which you have revered and honored.
“I’m sorry, I slipped up.”
Haifeng clasped his hands together and said with a serious expression.
“Even you, a man of the Mado, trust in the reputation of this chamber, but…… was not something to say in jest.”
Then I stepped back and said.
“As promised, this room will not be involved in this confrontation.”
And the sea winds cried out, holding up the green arrow.
“Listen, disciples in this room, immediately retreat ten li outside!”
Bu Eun-sul and Gu Hong-cheng will now face off against each other.
What if they surrounded him? It would distract him and drain his energy.
Not only that, but someone might interrupt you at a crucial moment.
Bu Eunseol made this demand of Haefeng in the first place so that they could have a fair fight.
“I’ll be back at sunset.”
At Haifeng’s words, Buunsun nodded slightly.
He slowly stepped in front of Gu Hongcheng.
“Let’s get to work.”
But Gu Hongcheng’s gaze was fixed not on the fluffy snow, but on the green lake in the hands of the turning sea wind.
As he gazed into the jade-gleaming green lake, his eyes flashed with a mixture of anger and resignation.
A decades-long dream was thwarted right before my eyes.
The result was a microscopic fracture in his psyche.
‘This is where you even handed over the green lakes to the sea wind!
Being distracted when you’re about to fight is like fighting a battle with a steel ball tied to your feet.
Gu Hongcheng realized that Bu Eun-sul had deliberately handed the green horseshoe to Haifeng before the confrontation, causing him great frustration and damage to his psyche.
“Good. I’ll deal with him.”
Gu Hongcheng swallowed his bursting anger and said.
It doesn’t matter what state of mind they’re in. Just kill them and that’s it.
As he strode toward them, Jingyi’s azirang soared into the sky.
Even if you’re the most skilled of the Seven Deadly Sins, you’re still the most skilled.
True to its reputation, it had a lot of momentum.
“That was it.
Looking at Gu Hongcheng’s tangible Qin Qi, Bu Eunsul clenched her fists.
At last, the bout with the girl king had begun.
