Becoming the Swordmaster Rank Young Lord of the Sichuan Tang Family Chapter 77

< Episode 76 >

It was common knowledge that it was difficult to find Taoism in Sacheon anymore.

That is why Yeon Jeong-myeong expressed doubts.

“Yellow uniform… I think they are probably members of the communal faction. Sogaju.”

The person who answered Yeon-myeong’s mutterings was Tang Won-jin, who had become the official leader of the Bong Guard. Although he did not possess outstanding martial arts skills that could be said to be overwhelming compared to other warriors of the Bong Guard, his relationship with being in charge of the 7th group of Gyeonggyeong and the closeness he had accumulated while carrying out his duties in close proximity played a major role in helping him secure the position of Great Lord. I could smell it. Anyway, from the perspective of Yeon-myeong, the level of the warriors of the Bongguardae felt mediocre.

Right now, Yeon Myeong was taking a tour of the capital with his party members and followers. The guards came out to protect everyone, but Yeon-myeong ordered them to improve their skills and came out alone. I thought that wearing a bunch of security guards would only attract attention and make things more complicated.

Of course, even if there was no guard, it was still something that attracted attention.

‘Hey, that Confucius. It’s my first time seeing this face.’

‘How can a person’s appearance look like that? It’s like there’s a halo.’

‘Come to think of it, didn’t you walk from the party line earlier? Rumor has it that the new head of the Tang family is very handsome. ‘Isn’t it him?

‘For something like that, there aren’t many escorts. The level of the accompanying warriors seems to be quite high.’

‘Hey. ‘Please tell him something.’

There was quite a bit of whispering. Some of the wives and children, who seemed to be from wealthy families, even showed their subtle favor by ordering their subordinates to treat Yeon Myeong to refreshments and meals.

However, it was just a hassle for Yeon Myeong, who already had Dangmiso in mind. I had the party members all politely decline.

In fact, the reason I came out to see the shrine like this was partly because of Dangmiso. As can be seen from the fact that she accompanied her father, Tang Jeok-sin, Yeon Yeom-myeong had the creation of an upper tier in mind. We wanted to check Seongdo’s cargo volume and select items and locations that would be advantageous as a merchant. Of course, it was possible to order someone else to do it, but the party leader inevitably said that he had to see it with his own eyes and talk to other merchants, so Yeon Myeong followed suit. There would be no harm in establishing friendships with prospective craftsmen.

After her mother, Dokbong Tang Ji-hye, ascended to the throne of the family, the family quickly became organized and stable.

Yeon Myeong thought that it was time to turn his attention to the outside world. It was difficult for the family to remain isolated in Chengdu forever.

Thanks to the appointment of a capable person as general manager, there was no need to worry for the time being, but it was obvious that if things continued like this, funds would dry up again. Even if the newly reorganized Uigak began to function properly, led by party support and party transfers, it was not normal to rely on them for most of the finances as in the days of the Yakwangtang.

In the end, the family’s scope of activity had to be expanded. The idea was to take the first step by establishing and operating the upper level. Then, various frictions will certainly arise, and in the process of resolving such frictions, won’t the family’s territory naturally expand?

In any case, that was the reason why Yeon-myeong came to the outskirts of Seongdo.

“It’s a joint… I guess I’m a guest of the main house.”

I thought that if they were communist sect gurus as Tang Won-jin said, they would definitely have come to visit the party. The Sogaju competition that took place not long ago – wasn’t there a blood feud at Gonggongsan Mountain at that time? The bodies of the martial artists of the Sacheon Sect, including the Taeeulmukgeompa, were left behind.

If a separate investigation had been conducted by the joint faction, there would have been suspicion.

First of all, almost all of the bodies belonged to Sapa warriors, and it must have felt like Tang family figures, including Yeon Myeong, had left the scene in a hurry.

Also, if the person conducting the investigation had been a little more perceptive, he would have noticed this. That it was all due to the actions of one person.

‘…But I didn’t expect you to come all the way to Sacheon like this.’

Yeon Myeong looked a little shocked.

It’s not that it’s not, the city where Dangga is located is located in the middle of Sacheon. Sacheon is a land where apostolic factions under the Heuksaryeon are scattered.

This means that it is definitely a burdensome place for the Taoist community to send people to. They only send two people to a place like that, without taking off their uniforms or in disguise…?

‘It’s worth it.’

After looking at the two, Yeon Myeong immediately understood. Both of them looked quite exhausted, but only one person’s uniform was shabby, as if he had fought a fierce battle. There was a thick layer of dust on the hem of the clothes.

And a middle-aged Taoist monk who looks relatively sane.

[Hwa-gyeong is here.]

‘okay.’

Yeon Jeong-myeong said yes to Heong-gong’s words inwardly. Because of his strong self-defense skills, his achievements, which were revealed by the lung pulse recovery, were limited, but that did not mean that his energy sense was dulled. There is just a limit to the range of feeling.

Certainly, if he was an expert in flower painting, it was worth sending him alone to Sacheon. Unless you meet Black Snake Master Yoo Gil-jun, there won’t be any particular danger.

‘…Have you met the Black Snake Lord?’

Yeon Myeong inwardly shook his head. The Taoist monk, who appeared to be in good health, appeared to have suffered serious internal injuries, contrary to her appearance. Her energy was very unstable. She is probably in a state where she can only use a very small portion of the internal power she can originally mobilize. It was assumed that her limit would be to perform simple light attacks at best. If you perform proper martial arts or vigorous movements, the internal injuries will become more severe. Even if I wanted to fight, I couldn’t fight.

That seemed to be why the other, less accomplished, person took charge of the battle.

As the two middle-aged Taoists approached, I was able to gauge their level even more clearly. One was undoubtedly a being who had reached the level of Hwa-kyung, and the other was only slightly better than Tang Won-jin.

A Taoist monk with a similar inaction and slovenly appearance as Tang Won-jin spoke to me while holding hands.

“Muryangsubul. Nice to meet you. Confucius. We are from the Gongong faction. I am Hyeonso and this person uses the name Taeheo.”

“They are communal sect masters. I say it’s natural.”

Yeon Myeong nodded and greeted him face to face. Behind the scenes, the party members were slightly surprised and whispered in low voices. When it comes to Sojiajou and the Crown Prince, the distribution is the same as that of the Jang Mun-in of the Tang Dynasty of the Communist Party…!

Yeon Myeong, who recognized that a middle-aged Taoist monk named Tae Heo was an expert in the art of flowering although he had suffered internal injuries, thought that he had either recovered from old age or was suppressing aging with his powerful inner strength. Because of this, he was able to remain calm.

On the other hand, Hyeonso said with joy after hearing the name Yeon-myeong.

“I happened to hear that person calling you by his name, Sogajusi… Moreover, if you even use the Tang clan’s surname, perhaps you are from the Sichuan Tang family…?”

“Yes, that’s right. Is there a purpose for your family home?”

“Four hundred! That’s it. These people are from the Tang family…!”

Hyeon-so spoke to Tae-heo with a bright face at Yeon-myeong’s affirmation, and then continued speaking again.

“Sojiju. We have some business to run on the way home. Normally, we would have paid a formal visit, but as you can see, the situation is not conducive.

If it’s not rude, can I leave you home like this? It’s good, at least for the time being. “At least until Sabaek’s internal injuries stabilize…”

“That’s right. It’s not that difficult. By the way, did you meet Black Snake Runner on the way?”

“How could Sogaju do that…?”

Hyeonso asked back in confusion. This is the place where Taeheo, the Four Baekin, fought a battle with Heuksaryeonju and ran with light attack to avoid the pursuit of the Sapa warriors.

How does the head of the Tang family here in Chengdu know that fact?

Of course, Yeon-myeong knew well the state of Tae-heo, so he just threw it away. It is extremely rare for a master who has reached the level of perfection to suffer internal injuries to this extent.

‘It’s a good thing you came back alive. No, did you save my life…?’

It was then.

“Stop! Stop!”

An enormous voice was heard from far away. Originally, it was assumed that he had a good voice and had strengthened his vocal skills with tremendous inner strength.

Hyeonso said with a look of disappointment.

“Oops. Looks like they’re here.”

“You mean them?”

“After learning that Sa Baek had suffered internal injuries during the battle with the Black Snake Lord, there was a group of Sa Baek who were persistently attacking me. At first, I had no idea how to deal with them, but as their numbers continued to increase….”

“How many are there?”

“It’s probably over a hundred. No, it might even be two hundred… Rather, wouldn’t it be better to quickly go home? It looks like we’ve come almost a stone’s throw away, but it would be better to hide before they can confirm our existence… .”

Hyeonso spoke urgently. Says refuge without hesitation. That being said, how can he not have the desire to kill those who are chasing him while shouting in triumph by cutting them to death with a single sword? However, from the perspective of entrusting my body to Sabaek’s care, I thought that any damage to the Tang family should be minimized.

Let’s avoid avoidable fights – this is because we know that although the Tang family continues its legacy in Sacheon, its power is by no means high. Since it is a Dangga located in Sacheon, which is full of Sado Bangpas, it would not be good for it to cause conflict with other Sasangs.

Moreover, there were currently no special guards around Sojiazhu Yan Ming. There were only two young men by his side, and at least one of them was closer to being a student. Hyeonso raised his spirits to see if there were people hiding, but there was nothing caught.

However, there were only three people capable of fighting: Hyeonso himself, Yeon Myeong, and the warrior who appeared to be an escort. It’s too much to handle the Sapa warriors that are running now.

However, Yeon Myeong still remained calm.

“Please calm down.”

“Yes? What do you mean…?”

“I was already trying to sort out Sacheon, but I’m grateful that you two saved me the trouble.”

“!?”

• • • •

A doubt appeared on Hyeonso’s expression. What is this person talking about now? More than 100 Sapa warriors are flocking here. Is this something to be thankful for? Are you sane now…?

“Please come this way. Lord Soga will take care of it.”

Tang Won-jin, who was well aware of Yeon-myeong’s inaction, guided Hyeon-so and Tae-heo to a safe place behind them.

“No, this is….”

Hyeonso was still speechless, and Taeheo looked at the young man named Sogaju of the Tang family with shining eyes. As if expecting something to happen.

Meanwhile.

Meanwhile, Sapa warriors swarmed in, clutching various types of weapons. It seemed that the warriors from various waves were added little by little to form a group, rather than just one group.

The man in the lead among them said.

“What are you doing again? You have a pretty face like a girl.”

“I knew it when I heard his voice. He was the one yelling.”

“I asked who it was… Wow!”

Before he could speak, he let out a short scream and fell over. Without even thinking about putting his hands on the ground, he was thrown headfirst into the ground. Only those whose level of attainment was quite deep could discover the small needle quivering on his left cheek.

The man, who made a gurgling, gurgling sound for a moment, soon became quiet. My breath stopped. One person’s life was lost in vain.

“……”

The silence fell like a lie in the hall. Among the Sapa warriors who came in with great force and chatter, none of them opened their mouths easily.

Until Yeon Myeong snaps his fingers and retrieves the feather needle.
