Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 70
Episode 70
“Why are you making such a fuss?” Dan Woo-hyeon looked straight at Jang Sam-tae.
Although he didn’t particularly make an impression, it felt threatening enough, so Jang Sam-tae, who was running towards him, suddenly stopped.
“Big… we’re in big trouble!”
“So you’re asking what the big deal is.”
Jang Sam-tae glanced at Nangong-cheon.
I looked at his eyes and opened and closed my mouth several times. After contemplating whether I should suppress this or not, I finally opened my mouth.
“Mu… The Murim Alliance has appointed a new leader!” Dan Woo-hyeon nodded, thinking that it was so. It has nothing to do with whether the Murim Alliance appoints a new leader or not.
What could be such a big deal about this?
The moment I let out a bewildered laugh, I saw Nam Gung-cheon’s stiff expression.
“Are you surprised?”
“Hmm! No, no. Of course that is the way it should be.”
Hiding his surprise, Nam Gung-cheon took a breath.
The absence of the Murim lord will only lead to chaos within the Murim alliance.
If Namgung-cheon’s life or death could not be confirmed and even traces of him could not be found for nearly two months, it was right to nominate a new leader to clean up the mess of the Murim Alliance.
However, it may vary depending on who the leader is.
“Are you an advanced ambassador of Shaolin?”
If he was an advanced ambassador of Shaolin, he was worthy of being a Murim lord. If he were to step down from the position of leader, I would have considered recommending him because he was someone who could treat the world fairly and correct the principles of the world.
However, Jang Sam-tae’s appearance was somewhat strange.
“Ah… no, that’s…”
“Then Kunlun’s…”
“Mo Yong’s… he’s a sword saint…”
“What?!”
Nam Gung-cheon opened his eyes and couldn’t speak.
The candidate he thought of was Cheongjinja, a shaman named Zhong Liquan of Shaolin’s advanced Kunlun.
They were all outstanding experts and capable of leading political factions.
But it wasn’t them, but Mo Yong-hyeok-mun, who became the Murim lord?
Nangong Cheon couldn’t understand.
As Mo Yonghyeokmun is called a swordsman, his skills are higher than those mentioned above, but he is by no means a person who can embrace people and lead a political faction.
Just looking at the children who grew up under him, didn’t he say that there was nothing he couldn’t do with his power and background behind him? How can someone like that be promoted as a leader?
“I heard Zhuge Yun agreed to it?”
“The commander of the Murim League resigned as soon as he returned to Hanam, and Man Hu-Liang took his place…”
“Man Hu-Liang!”
Nam Gung-cheon pursed his eyebrows as if he had a headache.
Manhouliang was the head of the Mangeum Sangdan.
His family had been disciples of King Moyong for generations, and although he was a merchant, he was also an expert who was making a name for himself in the Murim Alliance with his outstanding martial arts.
Possessing resourcefulness and business skills comparable to those of the Zhuge family, he quickly became the best in the central region with the Mo Yong family on his back. It was also rejected to the extent that half of the current Murim League’s funds came from his superiors.
Did Man Hu-ryang become a governor?
This was like adding wings to Mo Yong’s back.
If this were to happen, it would be as if the entire funds of the Murim League had been taken over by the Mo Yong family.
“What on earth were the others doing!”
Namgungcheon sighed.
I had been friends with Mo Yong-hyuk for a long time.
However, because he was familiar with his personality, he understood better than anyone else that he was not suitable for a leader.
That’s why they didn’t want to nominate him as the next Murim lord, but he suddenly became the Murim lord?
Are you saying that there was no protest at all from the nine major families or the other eight major families?
It felt like he had been working behind the scenes for a long time, as he took over the position of the Murim lord all at once, as if he had been waiting for it.
Stinging –
Namgungcheon felt his bones hurting.
“As if… you were waiting?”
He soon thought of something and tilted his head.
I shook my head to deny the thoughts that came to my mind, but what on earth was I supposed to think about this situation that seemed so fitting?
“It can’t be… It can’t be…”
I thought as I chewed my lips several times.
This was because the suspicion that I had been betrayed by a close friend whom I had trusted did not leave my mind.
Every time Mo Yong-hyeok’s face appeared in his mind, the eyes and expressions with which he looked at him kept flashing before his eyes, tormenting him.
“Sometimes what you think isn’t true turns out to be true.”
“That can’t be possible! He and I!”
“They must have been rivals competing with each other.”
Nam Gung-cheon’s mouth quivered and he turned his head violently. As soon as I heard Dan Woo-hyeon’s words, Mo Yong-hyeok’s sharp eyes came to mind.
His gaze sharpened every time he looked at him.
Nam Gung-cheon, who was sitting on the floor, tightly clenched his trembling fists and took a deep breath.
It is unlikely that Mo Yong-hyeok committed such an outrageous act. I believed and reflected on this over and over again to soothe my mind.
Tak-Tak_
The residence of the leader located in the deepest part of the Murim Alliance.
Mo Yonghyeokmun was trimming the twigs of a tree in the yard in front of his residence.
His appearance was so relaxed that it made you wonder if he was someone who had lost an old friend.
A certain Yonghyeokmun, who had been trimming twigs for a while, stopped his hands and
turned his head.
When I heard the sound of someone trudging, I looked at him sharply.
“So did you find it?”
Crack-
tap- I asked again while trimming the twigs.
The person who approached bowed his head slightly to show respect and then silently shook his head.
I searched the area for a long time, avoiding the eyes of the Namgung family, but I couldn’t find even a trace of it.
“Hmm, at least the body should have been rescued.”
Mo Yong-hyeok muttered with a somewhat regretful expression.
‘If you hadn’t become the Murim lord, this wouldn’t have happened.’
The man who had never won the title of Eight Great Emperors and Emperor of Swords since childhood rose to even greater heights.
The Murim Lord is at the top of the political faction.
Mo Yong-hyeok-mun wanted to become a martial arts leader since he was young, and he nurtured his dream by promising that he would not let Namgung-cheon take that away from him.
However, he ruined everything until the end.
Nam Gung-cheon, who acquired everything from beginning to end, completely crushed Mo Yong-hyeok’s family, shattering the dream he had had since childhood.
Wasn’t he even looking at someone else as the next leader?
Of course, since it was chosen by majority vote, it was impossible to rely on Namgungcheon’s opinion alone, but if it was the recommendation of the Murim Lord and Geomwang, many people were bound to be influenced.
So I waited for the right time.
Gunjado’s work was unexpected, but it eventually forced the Geomwang, who had been confined within the Murim Alliance, to come out, and for Mo Yonghyeokmun, it was nothing short of a genius opportunity.
We prepared bombs and acid bombs, made plans, and prepared thoroughly.
It was a move to completely send off the existence that could never be caught up.
“I was attacked by acid poison and my left arm was cut off. “If you fell off a cliff in that condition, you would never survive.”
The man who lowered his head, Moyong Gwancheon, the head of the current Moyong family, opened his mouth to be careful.
Since he carried out all the plans and made mistakes in the process and was unable to secure Nam Gung-cheon’s body, he was cautious about even saying anything.
match-!
just as expected.
Mu Yong Guan Chen’s head suddenly turned.
Mo Yonghyeokmun must have swung the twig he was holding in his hand, causing a long wound on his right cheek. Although he was in excruciating pain, Mo Yong Gwan-cheon corrected his posture and stood there in awe.
He didn’t even wipe the blood flowing from his cheek.
“What a foolish guy. I have said time and time again that everything you do must be perfect from beginning to end! “Do you still not know that in this case, even the buds that will grow later must be completely removed
?”
“I’m sorry, father.”
Mo Yong-hyeok clicked his tongue as if he was disapproving.
There was no one that I liked, even though I was a child. It seemed like Mo Yong-hyeok had nothing he could win over Nam Gung-cheon, including the sword, power, and even the fortune of his children.
That may be why they do not feel affection towards their children.
“What is the Namgung family doing?”
“It seems like he is still trying to find traces of himself in Honam. Of course, we haven’t found a single thing.”
Mo Yong Guan Tian grinned.
There are enough blood stains left to indicate that someone has died. However, even if you search the room of Cheonjisa Temple, you will not be able to find any traces left by Namgungcheon.
They took not only the cut off collar but also the cut off left arm and burned it.
The Namgung family was just wasting time. And it was a very good opportunity for the Mo Yong-se family.
They quickly took control of the Murim Alliance and gave them time to attack those who did not give in.
Zhuge Yun resigned from his position as Commander-in-Chief and raised the rank of Wanhou Liang.
Are there any conflicts in this process?
It wasn’t.
Gu Pail Fang and the other eight great families protested vehemently, but some silenced them with money and others used force to suppress them.
This was possible because the momentum of the old group was not what it used to be. That is why the shaman actively intervened in the remains of Samcheon discovered on Gunjado Island.
The current political faction is a world of eight great families.
Therefore, the power of the Mo Yong family was stronger than ever.
“The Namgung family is also the Namgung family, but the problem is Zhuge Un.”
A certain Yonghyeokmun narrowed his eyes as he plucked away the remaining twigs. Namgungse without the Emperor was not scary at all.
However, Zhuge Liang was an opponent who could not let down his guard.
In fact, even Manhou Liang boasts a genius brain that can surpass even Zhuge Yun, and the family called Zhuge Sega itself is a place where no one in the central plains can match in terms of extraordinary intelligence.
Zhuge Un resigned as commander-in-chief and left the alliance.
Why?
Originally, it was Zhu Galun who did not want to take on the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Murim Alliance. The reason he changed his mind and assumed the position of commander-in-chief was because Nam Gung-cheon, who had been the object of Zhuge Un’s admiration for a long time, rose to the position of leader.
The reason why Namgung-cheon resigned without making any noise at the same time as he disappeared was highly likely because he was aware of the full extent of the situation to some extent.
There was nothing more threatening than that.
If the doubts in Zhuge Un’s head leak out and reach the ears of Gu Pail Bang or the Namgung family, the Mo Yong family will face a crisis they have never experienced before.
It made no sense not to nip such a disturbing seed in the bud.
“Where is he now?”
“…We are currently leaving Hanam and heading towards Honam. It looks like he is planning to join Nangong Sega and find the Emperor of Swords.”
“Right.”
Mo Yong-hyeok-mun let out a short groan.
Soon, he cut off the last remaining twig and slowly opened his mouth.
“Isn’t Moorim in trouble lately? So much so that it wouldn’t be strange if someone died at any time.”
Mo Yong Gwan-cheon lowered his head at his words.
Now that we had figured out Mo Yonghyeokmun’s intentions, it was time to make a move.
Because he was alive, he could not have seen the Emperor Mo Yong collapse.
