Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 66

Episode 66

Nangong Cheon groaned.

I felt like my entire body was weak and my dantian was empty. I tried to move my body slowly, but it wasn’t easy.

It seemed like he was still alive. Due to the mountain attack, I was hit by a bomb with no air power at all, and since I had to endure several battles against so many people, it wasn’t surprising if I died.

I ended up laughing helplessly at the good fortune that had come to me without my knowledge.

“It looks like you have the energy to smile.”

Soon, I opened my eyes with difficulty when I heard a familiar voice. I was even a little surprised that I couldn’t even detect the presence of someone nearby.

“You are….”

“This is Dan Woo-hyeon.”

“Did you save me?”

“Rather than saving me, you crashed into my boat arbitrarily.”

Nam Gung-cheon smiled empty-handedly.

I never thought something like that would happen.

Fortunately, I am alive and not dead, so I should be happy, but why is my whole body losing strength?

Nangong Cheon glanced at his left arm.

The feeling of my severed arm was awkward.

The arm that could be said to be the swordsman’s life gets cut off?

Moreover, since Nam Gung-cheon was left-handed, the shock was indescribable.

Due to the acid attack, all of his strength was lost, and even his left arm, which he thought he could stand on as long as it existed, was cut off, so the unmanned Namgungcheon no longer exists.

It was very disappointing.

“In the end, it turned out as you said. The warrior Namgung-cheon died in the end… huh huh.”

The voice that came out of his mouth was dead. Now that I have lost the martial arts that I thought was everything, is the feeling of despair and futility so excruciating?

Since he was once the strongest person, he must have been several times more shocked than others.

“You are alive because you are alive. “If you hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have brought you.”

“Hehehe, you are heartless.”

Namgung-cheon felt Dan Woo-hyeon’s gaze.

nonchalance.

There was nothing more or less visible.

The look in the eyes of someone who tried to save the person but didn’t even have the slightest thought to do anything about it.

It seemed as if Namgung-cheon was not visible in those eyes where recognition did not exist.

“If you wish, you can inform the Murim Alliance.”

“No… it’s done. “Can you please let me stay here just for a little while?”

Namgungcheon, who had the title of Emperor of Swords, did not want others to see his miserable appearance.

He was always looking down on someone, was an object of admiration for some, and was revered by others, so he did not want to receive pitiful or pitiful looks.

I also didn’t want to go back to the Namgung family.

Although he would certainly receive more hospitable treatment than if he stayed here, Nam Gung-cheon doesn’t even want to see that.

While thinking about that, I suddenly

raised my head.

Now that I think about it, this man’s eyes haven’t changed at all from when he first saw me.

“Huh… I see now that you are really thoughtful.”

“You can either curse or praise.”

Namgungcheon smiled with an awkward expression.

Now that I think about it, I did say something that was almost like swearing a little while ago.

“You can stay as long as you want. “But if you don’t have money, you can’t just play and eat.”

“Pay food for an old man who is dying… Is this what you mean?”

“You look like you have the power to make fun of a snout, so wouldn’t you do something?”

Dan Woo-hyeon smiled and turned his back. I stayed here because it was time to wake up, and I wasn’t here for any other reason.

“Recuperate for the time being and then go back to work when you feel better.”

“Hehehe.”

In the end, he meant to make me work. As Dan Woo-hyeon closed the door and left, Namgung Cheon closed his eyes and fell into thought.

As he looked back over the past events one by one, a black blade appeared in his eyes as he could not hide his anger.

‘Who on earth is this?’

I thought they were the same guys who appeared in Gunja Island, but when I thought about their swordsmanship and behavior, it felt a little different.

They even showed meticulousness in using the Murim League’s military equipment.

The enemies were those within the Murim Alliance, as this was something that could never be done if one did not properly understand the Murim Alliance’s war network.

‘The work began with not much time left before the election of the next leader. As if he had been waiting for me to come out of the Murim Alliance…’

Namgung-cheon opened his eyes in confusion.

There was no doubt that his identity was hidden within the Murim Alliance.

Those who are trying to gain something by ruining the name of Geomwang.

They must have been backed by wealth and power, as they used rocket bombs and mountain poisons, which are difficult to obtain.

Several thoughts crossed his mind, but Nangong Cheon quickly shook his head and denied the thoughts. No matter what, I wonder if it’s worth it to go this far.

Finally, I let out a long sigh.

“Everyone is getting old. What kind of strategy is this? haha.”

Nangong Cheon shook his head.

The more I thought about it, the more two words came to mind: revenge.

It was a difficult task to accomplish as an old man who did not even have the strength left to do so.

Those who remained there had to figure it out somehow.

The Sword Emperor Namgungcheon is now just a helpless old man.

He calmed his mind and shook off distracting thoughts.

“No trace… No trace…?”

Zhuge Un grabbed his pounding head and pounded the table repeatedly.

A month and a half have already passed since we started looking for Namgungcheon, but not a single clue has been found, let alone a trace of it.

My teeth suddenly ground apart.

I should have thought a little more deeply.

Since the Sword Emperor Namgungcheon was the lord of the Murim, there were many people targeting him. Not only Sima’s group, but also some political faction members who benefit from eliminating him.

I didn’t expect that he would even use acid poison, but I thought that maybe it was natural for something like this to happen.

“It’s really unfortunate, but if we haven’t been able to find it for this long… shouldn’t we just give up?”

“You can’t do that!”

Zhuge Yun gritted his teeth and glared at a man.

His short-cut beard, sturdy physique, and angular face gave an intimidating feeling to those who saw him.

The name he had was just as amazing as his appearance.

The second generation of the world (天下第:三勢家), the Mo Yonghyeokmun of a certain Yong family.

He gave the name Geomwang to his close friend and good rival Namgung Cheon, and as a member of the Seven Stars, he was given the nickname of Geomseong (劍星).

He had a special relationship with Namgung-cheon since childhood, so as soon as he heard the news of his disappearance, he rushed over and stayed up for several days and nights trying to find traces.

“What will you do? A month and a half have already passed. Even the matter of Gunjado became known, and the Murim Alliance was once again humiliated. “It’s a difficult situation just to handle this right now, so are you going to announce that the Murim lord went missing after being attacked by monsters?”

“Ugh!”

Zhuge Yun quietly kept his mouth shut.

As Mo Yong-cheon said, the status of the Murim Alliance has recently fallen to the ground. Nothing was gained from Musin’s secret battle; rather, he was attacked and lost a large number of warriors.

They are being criticized for not being able to catch the evil beast, and if the disappearance of the Murim leader, Namgung-cheon, becomes known, the Murim alliance may be torn apart.

“The Namgung family has already sent personnel separately. “Right now, fixing Meng is the top priority.”

Zhuge Un kept his mouth shut at those words, which he could not refute.

He wanted to get rid of everything and find Nam Gung-cheon, but since he was the leader of the Murim Alliance, all authority was held by Zhu Gal-un in the absence of the leader.

‘First, let’s take care of Meng. I don’t know who the people who attacked the leader are, but I will definitely find them.’

He quickly organized his thoughts and composed his mind.

Now was the time to trust the Namgung family.

“I will return to Hanam first.”

“Yes, I thought well.”

“It’s meticulous.”

The man who was looking at the scene where Namgung-cheon was attacked frowned.

Traces of the bullets flying were clearly visible, and blood stains here and there also hardened and did not disappear.

“Father, then grandfather…” Namgung Yong, the current head of the Namgung family, took a breath.

My Galun and Dangga confirmed that acid poison was sprayed.

No matter how good the swordsman was, if he was attacked to this extent in a situation where his internal power was scattered, he would probably not have escaped unharmed.

It would be pure luck if he were alive, but he would no longer be able to hold the sword.

Still, Namgung Yong believed that his father was alive.

‘Because he’s not the kind of person who will die that easily.’

The title of Emperor of Swords was not easily earned, and from the perspective of Namgung Yong, who watched the entire process, it was unthinkable for Nam Gung Cheon to die.

“I think he’s alive.”

“It’s just not in a good state… Is that

right?”

“okay.”

“I like it anyway. “I will do anything to find my grandfather.”

Nam Gung-yong also nodded. It was the same for him too. Although he is said to have lost his power,

the name Geomwang was nothing short of a symbol of the Namgung family.

‘But given my father’s personality…’

it was clear that he would not want that.

Since I would lose my strength and become an old man in the back room, I decided to go into retirement and hide myself.

Of course, this was an expected choice, assuming he was entirely alive.

“If we continue like this, where will we end up?”

“It’s Anhyang.”

“It’s a place with a stream that leads to Dongjeongho Lake.”

Namgung Yong slowly moved towards that place and looked around. The road was still rough and blood stains were visible here and there. Just looking at the fact that he killed so many people even in a situation where his internal power was scattered, it was enough to feel how powerful the Sword Emperor really was.

As we moved like that for a while, the traces of the battle gradually diminished, and in the end, nothing was visible.

All that remained was a clear trace of blood that looked like a person had been severely cut.

“You came all the way here.”

Namgung Sohye nodded.

She also checked around here. However, it was no longer easy to investigate further.

The place where the two people were currently standing was quite high up in the canyon, and in front of them was a fairly high cliff and a deep river could be seen below.

It was a height from which he would never have survived if he had fallen while his internal strength was disturbed.

It was even more so because there were many sharp protruding rocks around.

The good news is that there are no blood stains on the cliff?

“I guess I’ll have to try launching the boat. “Free the children and search the surrounding area.”

“Commander Zhuge has already….”

“No, but wouldn’t we be able to understand if we look at it one more time?”

‘What?’

Namgung So-hye tried to ask that question, but her mouth couldn’t come out easily.

Because I was so scared of what words would come out of Namgung Yong’s mouth.

She lowered her head and clenched her fists.

After trying hard to calm her trembling heart, she

opened her mouth softly.

“Yes….”
