Yellow Dragon Lord, Genius Swordsman
Episode 14
“As expected, a famous sword is a famous sword.”
A pavilion in the Hwangryongseong Fortress.
Dan Sa-hyeok, who was lightly savoring the steaming tea, continued speaking.
“I think it was called the Yeomsakwol. It was a great sword. It absorbed most of the blows that its master was supposed to receive until the end. In the end, it sacrificed itself to save its master.”
“That disgusting guy.”
Oduseok, sitting across from me, frowned and said.
The car was left untouched.
He was someone who preferred alcohol to tarak and tarak to tea since long ago.
“Are you planning to start a war with Namgung Se-ga? No, if you’re not careful, you might end up turning the entire Murim Alliance into your enemy!”
“That won’t happen.”
“How can you say that so confidently? Are you so strong?”
“If we were going to fight, we would have already barged in.”
“……hmm!”
“Well, the reason the branch manager gave wasn’t wrong.”
“Tch. What an unlucky guy.”
Dan Sa-hyeok burst into laughter at the sight of O Du-seok grumbling.
“By the way, have you thought about it?”
“what?”
“You know that, right?”
“… … I haven’t decided yet.”
Odoo Seok crossed his arms and leaned his upper body back.
“It would be comfortable to just sit here and eat the bean curds you guys give me, but… … I am a warrior of the Murim Alliance. I have no intention of abandoning my mission.”
“The source of that mission, the Blood Heavenly Horse, has died.”
“But the Blood Heavenly Sect still remains. The Gwangpungsa who are in league with them, and the leopard-like men who come in after smelling the rotten smell are all over the place.”
Odoo Seok spoke with a very serious expression on his face.
“Our war is not over yet. I have no intention of abandoning it.”
“Those are the words of a branch manager.”
“Tch. You’re pretending to compliment but being sarcastic? You damn son of a bitch. Anyway, whether it’s now or in the past, you can’t find any cuteness in it.”
“I say these words with sincere respect.”
“You talk like you’re respecting me. You, me? A dog passing by would laugh.”
“Haha.”
Dan Sa-hyeok bursts into laughter.
O Du-seok, who had been looking at him with an indifferent expression, blurted out a word in passing.
“I’ll talk to the guys below.”
“hmm?”
“I was going to ask the guys over there if they’d be willing to come over and help you out.”
“Hmm.”
“There are a lot of idiots who look up to you, so there must be quite a few who want to throw away the Murim Alliance and go to Seoan.”
“Is that okay, Branch Manager? The branch’s power will weaken as the number of warriors leaks out.”
“Did the guy who knew that abandon the Murim Alliance and leave?”
“Instead, you defeated the Blood Demon.”
“Tch.”
Oduseok clicks his tongue in discontent.
Since everything Dan Sa-hyeok said was correct, I couldn’t say anything in return, so I ended up just frowning and talking nonsense.
Dan Sa-hyeok could only laugh at the sight of the large, dark-skinned middle-aged man sulking.
The relationship between the two, which at first glance seemed like an ill-fated one, was intertwined in that way.
“By the way, I really ended up eating it, you damn castle.”
“hmm.”
“The entire Wuhuang Hall was blown away… … Well, even though it was a bit large, it was just one of the many halls of the Huanglong Castle.”
“exactly.”
“So what are you planning to do? Are you really going to kick them all out?”
“The Murim Alliance has fulfilled its role, so now it is time to bring it to an end.”
“Huh… … Then what? What are you going to do with an empty castle?”
“Can’t you do anything? This is Huanglongseong, not anywhere else.”
Xi’an, the capital of Shaanxi Province and one of the three major ancient capitals of the Central Plains.
In short, it meant that it was one of the cities with the largest population in the Central Plains.
Even in such a place as Seoan, Hwangryongseong is a building located in the so-called yolk position.
To be frank, it was a manor the size of a palace, so if you wanted to use it, you could use it in any way you wanted.
“If it were me, I would just sell it to some rich guy for a lot of money.”
“The branch manager would say so.”
“I’m not the only one who thinks that way, am I? Have you ever looked around here? Do you know how big this castle is?”
“As for the area, I already confirmed it on the first day I arrived.”
“I told you it’s so wide?”
“It’s so fucking wide.”
“Even if you are a monster, do you think you can check all of that vast space?”
“That’s why you’re trying to use people. People like the branch manager.”
“No matter what you do, I have no intention of helping you.”
“Then there’s nothing we can do.”
Dan Sa-hyeok answers calmly and takes a sip of tea.
Odoo Seok was just frustrated by that lukewarm attitude.
“This is why I hate you.”
“I don’t hate the branch manager that much.”
“Shut up! Hey, anyway, I’ll be back soon, so just know that.”
“Take care, Branch Manager. It was nice meeting you again.”
“joy!”
O Du-seok leaves the pavilion, shaking off the hem of his clothes.
As Dan Sa-hyeok slowly drank the remaining tea, another man approached the pavilion, hesitating.
“Brother, I am Jang Woo-cheol.”
“embrace.”
Dan Sa-hyeok put down his teacup again and looked down at Jang Woo-cheol over the railing.
“What did you do?”
“Of course I did it. I hired a skilled maid.”
“Well done.”
“I, but… … . Is it true what people are gossiping about?”
“okay.”
Dan Sa-hyeok didn’t even ask what he was talking about.
I just calmly accept it.
Jang Woo-cheol’s face automatically turned pale.
“Then, then Hyung-nim really… … .”
“Dan Sa-hyeok, are you here?”
A loud roar that suddenly erupts.
In an instant, dozens of people rushed in and surrounded the pavilion.
“What, what, what?”
“Get out of my way!”
They were trying to push the intruder aside, but Jang Woo-cheol was not pushed away and stretched out.
“Who are you that dares to disturb my brother’s rest!”
At first, he just happened to follow Dan Sa-hyeok, but after his life was saved once, he truly came to serve him as a brother.
However, Dan Sa-hyeok didn’t seem to care.
Anyway, when Jang Woo-cheol came out with a murderous look on his face, the intruders’ attitudes softened slightly.
“We have come here simply to speak to the Great Swordsman Dan Sa-hyeok, the Lord of the Yellow Dragon Castle.”
“Words? What words! And what kind of people in the world come here in such a loud voice just to speak?”
“Okay, let me talk.”
A sound coming from the pavilion.
As Jang Woo-cheol clicked his tongue and stepped back, the person who appeared to be the ringleader bowed in front of the stairs.
“My name is Guo Dao-ying from Yichang Gate in Hubei Province. He is known by the nickname ‘Thunder God’s One Sword’.”
“Huh, the nickname is a bit too flashy.”
Jang Woo-cheol mutters softly.
Even though I lowered my voice, there was no way it wouldn’t be heard.
Kwak Do-young tried to ignore it and continued speaking.
“I am deeply impressed by the devastating blow that Master Dan Sa-hyeok delivered to the old forces of the Murim Alliance this time. I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of all the emerging martial artists.”
“What do you mean by representing something?”
“… … .”
“Ahem.”
“… … I came here with my comrades to help the new martial arts alliance that the Great Swordsman Dan is leading.”
“Please accept us, we will work hard to break our bones!”
“Please accept it!”
A thunderous shout.
Either way, Dan Sa-hyeok just tilted his teacup.
He had already finished drinking his own glass, so he was savoring the glass that Odu Seok had left behind.
It was an attitude of complete disinterest in what Kwak Do-young had to say.
“Dan Sa-hyeok Dae-hyeop?”
“You guys are mistaken about something.”
Jang Woo-cheol stepped forward and said in front of Kwak Do-young.
“Who the hell did that?”
“……what?”
“Who said that our brother would create a new martial arts alliance or something?”
“Who are you who asks that?”
“I am Jang Woo-cheol, a second-class warrior belonging to the headquarters of the Murim Alliance.”
Kwak Do-young’s face instantly distorted at Jang Woo-cheol’s self-introduction.
“Our Yi Chang Moon is one of the top twenty strongest sects in the Murim Alliance. Are you saying that a mere second-ranking warrior is interfering with it?”
“Who was the first to interrupt our brother?”
Jang Woo-cheol proudly claims to be Dan Sa-hyeok’s younger brother.
Since Dan Sa-hyeok also didn’t have much to say, it was difficult for Kwak Do-young to come out strong.
“… … I heard that Master Dan Daehyeop was trying to establish a new order in the Murim Alliance, so I came to help.”
“You probably came here to pick up the fallen beans and eat them, not to help.”
“What, what did you say?”
“Haven’t you seen the proclamation my brother handed down?”
“Are you talking about that eviction thing?”
“Yes. Do you know what that means?”
“… … .”
“When you give me time, I’ll tell you to leave the room!”
Jang Woo-cheol raised his head.
“And it’s been almost ten days since it was spread. Has the Yi Chang Moon of the Murim Alliance, the 20 Gangs, finished preparing to leave?”
“Well, we will help the Dan Sa Hyuk Dae Hyeop… … .”
“That’s what you say, brother? What should we do?”
Jang Woo-cheol asks, looking toward the top of the pavilion.
Soon a soft voice was heard.
“The eviction will be carried out as scheduled. There will be no exceptions for the existing sects and families belonging to the Murim Alliance.”
“Accept us, Dan Daehyeop!”
Kwak Do-young shouted.
“If you don’t, even the Great Swordsman will regret it!”
“Why are you trying to rush in like Namgung Se-ga?”
Jang Woo-cheol, who was always by my side until the end.
Kwak Do-young’s face turned pale as he suppressed the urge to hit him.
When he, barely holding back, tried to look up at the pavilion again.
“omg!”
Dan Sa-hyeok, who had come down before I knew it, was standing right in front of me.
“Tongue, bro!”
Jang Woo-cheol also looks shocked.
Of course, it was natural since none of them reacted even slightly to Dan Sa-hyeok’s movements.
“I said there are no exceptions.”
Dan Sa-hyeok said.
“There will be no such thing as a new martial arts alliance. All the factions and sects here will be eliminated.”
“All, all, all, all!”
“You said you would help me?”
“That, that’s right… … .”
Kwak Do-young responds with anticipation inside.
Dan Sa-hyeok spoke calmly to him.
“It’s helpful if you don’t make a fuss and just leave on time.”
“… … !”
“Thank you for your hard work. We will begin the forced eviction process in two days, so please leave before then.”
“Single sword!”
Kwak Do-young shouted, but Dan Sa-hyeok simply ignored him and walked away.
Jang Woo-cheol thought about teasing them one more time, but stopped when he saw their faces turning pale.
Because I thought I was really going to end up stabbing someone.
“Tongue, bro!”
As I hurriedly followed Dan Sa-hyeok, he blurted out a word.
“Let’s meet now.”
“yes?”
“The attendant you hired. I need to check if he’s skilled.”
“ah.”
“It took several days to find this person, so I’m sure he’s skilled, right?”
It was a few days ago that Namgung Woon and Dan Sa Hyeok had a showdown.
In fact, it was Jang Woo-cheol who rescued Suk-soo right after that, but it took more time for him to meet Dan Sa-hyeok.
That is why the aftermath of the confrontation between the two was so enormous.
‘But my brother only cares about Sook-soo’s cooking skills.’
Should I say it’s great or insensitive?
Jang Woo-cheol thought to himself that it was probably both.
