Yellow Dragon Lord, Genius Swordsman
Episode 15
“It’s okay. It tastes good.”
A bowl filled with steaming hot meat dumplings.
The old monk shrugged his shoulders at Dan Sa-hyeok’s words, who had picked up a few pieces.
“It’s hard for dumplings to be tasteless.”
“Even so, it’s not easy to achieve this kind of texture. It was delicious.”
“So, are you hired?”
“Of course. Please take care of me in the future.”
Despite Dan Sa-hyeok’s cheerful answer, the old maid showed an uneasy reaction.
“But by the way, Jang Woo-cheol, have you heard anything from that guy?”
“What about the story?”
“My origins are a bit… … .”
When Dan Sa-hyeok turned his head, Jang Woo-cheol made an “Oh no” expression.
“Uh, um. Brother, that gentleman… … cooked for me at the Blood Demon Gate a while ago.”
“What is the Blood Demon Gate?”
“It’s a sect that was once popular in Honam Province. But that… … .”
“Just to the point.”
“It’s Sapa.”
Dan Sa-hyeok looked back at the old monk.
The old monk swallowed dry saliva without realizing it as he was suddenly met with another round of gazes.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Really?”
“I’m not the type of person to talk nonsense like this. Especially when I’m not even a disciple but just a disciple.”
Only then did the old monk’s expression soften.
“Thank you. It was something I had no choice but to do to make a living, but somehow that label followed me here to Seoan.”
“Because people naturally enjoy pointing fingers because they feel morally superior.”
“Moral, what? Thanks anyway, young man.”
“Oh, Master Jin. Be polite to our older brother.”
“You get it.”
Dan Sa-hyeok, who had been briefly attacking Jang Woo-cheol, looked at Jin Sook-soo quietly.
“You don’t have to feel uncomfortable, just be good at cooking.”
“The more I see you, the more I like your employer. I understand. If only the ingredients are properly supplied, I will provide you with the best cuisine.”
“In some cases, we may have to feed dozens of people a day. Is that okay?”
“There will be no problem as long as you can provide me with the necessary assistance.”
“That’s good. Then I’ll help you save more people.”
It was Dan Sa-hyeok who ended up hiring Jin Sook-soo.
And time passed and two days passed.
The eviction period that Dan Sa-hyeok had announced has finally ended.
“How many sects and factions are there that haven’t left their rooms?”
Jang Woo-cheol swallowed dry saliva at Dan Sa-hyeok’s question.
“That’s right, brother. Almost… …it seems like most of them didn’t go out.”
“I see.”
It was a surprisingly refreshing reaction from Dan Sa-hyeok.
Jang Woo-cheol had thought that he would give her a few more days or at least try to have a conversation, but his expectations were completely wrong.
“Then we should kick them out.”
“Huh? Me, hyung?”
Dan Sa-hyeok heads out without answering.
Jang Woo-cheol, who had followed along breathlessly, spoke carefully.
“Brother, that… … what do you mean by kicking them out? How do you mean by kicking them out?”
“Do I have to explain that to you in detail?”
“No, not at all! I’m sorry. I’ll just keep my mouth shut.”
“okay.”
Dan Sa-hyeok walked with brisk strides.
The first place we visited was the residential area located at the northernmost part of Hwangryongseong.
As soon as he set foot there, people who recognized Dan Sa-hyeok came walking out in a hurried manner.
“I was hoping you’d come, but you really did come. I wanted to see you anyway… … .”
Dan Sa-hyeok ignored them and strode into the dormitory.
As the people hurriedly followed him, he was looking at the huge auditorium in the middle of the room.
“Is this yours?”
“That, that’s right. The expensive ones I brought back from Haedong… … .”
Whoosh!
Dan Sa-hyeok threw the listener out the window without saying a word.
“Wow, wow!”
“no!”
The martial artists hurriedly threw themselves out the window.
I gritted my teeth and performed lightness techniques, but I couldn’t stop the listener from being smashed to pieces.
Clang!
A sound so clear that it can be heard to every corner of the area.
Soon, the martial artists with red faces returned, grumbling.
“What the hell is this!”
“Forced eviction.”
Dan Sa-hyeok answered calmly.
“Literally, I will take out all the stuff that I have placed inside my Yellow Dragon Castle.”
“Hey, do you know how to just let this kind of outrage pass!”
“Don’t pass up. I’m looking forward to it.”
After saying that, Dan Sa-hyeok quickly started throwing things around in the room.
The speed and accuracy were so outstanding that all sorts of objects flew around outside the not-so-wide window.
“Wow! The jade tablet that the governor has bestowed upon us!”
“Do you know how much that landscape painting costs?”
“Please stop, we’ll clean it up!”
Even amid the screams and pleas, Dan Sa-hyeok did not stop.
Later on, there were people in the martial arts world who did not hesitate to use their fists, but Dan Sa-hyeok avoided all of that as if it were a lie.
Even in the midst of all this, the throwing of furniture did not stop.
The martial artists who were trying to attack him were so exhausted that they collapsed on the floor.
As soon as they finished one place, they immediately headed to the next place and started throwing things around like a swarm, causing the others to also start gathering their belongings.
The rumor also spread quickly, and the entire Huanglong Castle was put on emergency alert.
“Dan Sa-hyeok started destroying everything!”
“They say they just threw everything that was left in the room away without a single thing!”
“They say that even if you don’t talk to them and use your fists, they all evade you!”
“What the hell, isn’t that guy completely crazy?”
“I heard someone mumbling to himself, ‘After the object, it’s the person’s turn!’”
“Even us? What on earth is he planning to do?”
“When the thug following me around asked, the answer was that he would be thrown over the wall… … .”
“… … !”
“This is crazy!”
“Are you really going to kick us all out?”
Those who were astonished were divided into two broad groups.
The first ones were those who hurriedly packed their things and left.
They were the second group to rush to Sima Jin’s quarters.
“Military! Sima Military!”
“Right now, when it’s like this… …! Huh?”
“What, what is it?”
Those who went to protest or push the back were shocked again.
That’s why I saw that Sima Jin’s quarters were empty.
“What, what is this… … ?”
“What’s going on, everyone?”
Samajin walks out of an empty room with not even a single table left.
His behavior was so simple that it seemed like he was in a funeral.
“Military! What is all this?”
“What’s going on? That’s what I wanted to ask.”
“Dan Sa-hyeok! That guy started causing a ruckus!”
Despite the excited words of those people, Sima Jin could only nod his head.
“It looks like it’s started.”
“It looks like it’s started, is that what you want to say now?”
“I don’t think there’s anything I can’t say.”
“Aren’t you a soldier of the Murim Alliance? Shouldn’t you do something when the entire Alliance is suffering from such an unprecedented outrage?”
“A riot? A man taking something out and throwing it around is considered a riot?”
“no…….”
“The members of the Murim Alliance are now leading the Baekdo Murim!”
Sima Jin’s cold eyes scanned the faces of the people.
“You call it an outrage and come here whining and asking for help?”
“… … .”
“The will of the previous leader was clear, and we also did not tacitly object to it. Dan Sa-hyeok truly killed the Blood Heavenly Demon, and gained the right to demand what he wanted from the Murim Alliance.”
Sima Jin continued speaking indifferently.
“And now that he has officially become the Lord of the Yellow Dragon Castle, he is exercising his rights as the Lord. I don’t see any way to stop him, nor do I feel any sense of obligation to do so.”
“Old, military.”
“Everyone, get ready to leave the room. If you keep lying there and making a fuss, I’m really going to throw you over the wall.”
“… … !”
People with pale faces ran in all directions, panting.
Samajin, who had been quietly watching the scene, let out a small sigh.
“Phew.”
“Thank you for your hard work, soldier.”
When Samajin turned his head, a familiar figure was approaching him with a smile.
“Zhuge Liang.”
“They are truly shameless and selfish people. You must have had a hard time managing such people.”
Sima Zhen smiled bitterly at Zhuge Yuncheng’s words.
“If things were going according to plan, it would have been your job.”
“It is a fact known to the whole world that there are more military geniuses than me.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever felt as annoyed by the sound of that mouthful as I do today.”
“Is that so?”
Zhuge Yunseong asks with a smile.
Samajin thought for a moment and shook his head.
“No, that’s not true. Rather, it’s just… … refreshing.”
“hmm.”
Zhuge Yunseong turned his gaze to the north.
“It looks like none of the many members of the Murim Alliance have any intention of fighting back.”
“Because everyone saw the Heavenly Sword King being brutally destroyed.”
“… …What is the Namgung family’s reaction?”
“Isn’t it obvious? It’s literally like a funeral home. I probably won’t have the energy to even think about revenge for a while.”
“Well, that makes sense. Honestly… … It feels like a miracle that Namgung Gaju survived that day.”
“I agree. By the way, I’m sure Lord Jegal is secretly happy.”
Zhuge Yunsheng laughed bitterly at Sima Zhen’s words that stabbed at his heart.
“It’s not like that at all. It’s fortunate that the Namgung family, the best in the world, has been restrained, but I’m worried that the martial arts world might be harboring something even greater and more dangerous.”
“I’m worried.”
“At the same time, I am also looking forward to it.”
Jegal Yunseong turned his head and stared blankly beyond the gate.
Sima Jin also followed his gaze and took in the Huanglongcheng Pavilion hanging beyond the main gate.
“Me too. In any case, it is true that the Murim Alliance has been complacent for some time.”
“But now that we’ve lost our headquarters, what will happen to the Murim Alliance in the future?”
“I don’t know.”
Sima Zhen turned his gaze back to Zhuge Yuncheng and spoke in an attitude that it was none of his business.
“You never know. Someone with a lot of money might find a place to make a new headquarters and keep the Murim Alliance going.”
“Hmm.”
“If you’re resourceful, you might be able to find a large sponsor or something.”
“Are you serious about that?”
“How could that be?”
“If you do that, the Murim Alliance is… … .”
“I guess I should consider it finished.”
Samajin shrugged.
“The leader has passed away, and the original goal of killing the Blood Heavenly Demon has been achieved… … I think it is only natural that the Murim Alliance would disappear as well.”
“Hmm.”
“That’s a good thing. Isn’t that right, Master Zhuge?”
“That’s true, but… … .”
Now, as he looked further than the pavilion, ominousness flickered in Jegal Yunseong’s eyes.
“Not everyone will think that way.”
* * *
“No matter how much I think about it, this can’t be happening!”
“What on earth are the military and others doing?”
An inn in the Xi’an area.
It was more crowded than usual due to the martial artists who were driven out of Hwangryongseong.
Dan Sa-hyeok, who went around the accommodations and threw away all the remaining belongings, soon started to chase people away as well.
The method was really simple.
“Get out.”
“… … If you don’t like it?”
“It will be like this.”
“… … !”
He just grabs him and literally throws him out of the wall.
People who saw a couple of them fly away turned pale and started running away.
If it were just that, it wouldn’t be a problem, but in any case, the opponent was the man who defeated the Heavenly Sword King.
He was also the one who killed the Blood Demon before that.
In order to break the current situation, we need to figure out a way to deal with that man.
“What should I do now… … .”
Even when they put their heads together, all that came out of their mouths was a sigh that felt like the earth was going to collapse.
