The Legend of the Northern Blade Chapter 5

<-- Episode 5: Chapter 3 The wind blows without stopping, and the ripples grow endlessly (1) -->

“Mmm!”

With a soft groan, Jin Mu-won came to his senses. Jin Mu-won blinked for a moment and soon realized that his arms and legs were tied.

“here is?”

It was a dark, isolated space without a single ray of light. Jin Mu-won soon realized that this was one of the buildings in Bukcheon Gate. Because it feels and smells so familiar. The building that was used as a prison at Beitianmen had exactly this feeling.

“Hehe! “I guess you’ve come to your senses now.”

Suddenly, a torch lit up and a harsh voice irritated his ears. Jin Mu-won, who lost his eyesight for a moment due to the intense light irritating his retina, soon realized that the owner of the voice was Jang Pae-san, who had recently come here.

Jang Paesan was sitting opposite Jin Muwon. Standing around him were So Musang, Won Jeok-sim, and Yu Gyeong-cheon, who had entered Bukcheon Gate along Jangpaesan Mountain.

Jin Mu-won realized the situation he was in at a glance.

“So now I’ve been kidnapped. “And in the front yard of my house.”

“Hehe! “You’ve got quite the brain, kid.”

“You seem to be the mastermind.”

Jin Mu-won stared straight at Jang Paesan. Then Jang Paesan laughed, revealing her yellow teeth.

“You got it right.”

“Why did you kidnap me?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know that?”

“I want to hear it. “Why did you dare kidnap me from my own home and lock me in my own prison?”

“her! Look at this guy’s eyes. “I thought he was a gentle and gentle boy, but he looks as vicious as a viper.”

Jang Paesan got up from his seat and sauntered over to Jin Muwon. The sight of the six-legged figure approaching looked like an angry wild boar running towards me. The appearance of Jangpaesan Mountain was so powerful.

Jang Paesan harshly grabbed Jin Muwon’s chin and made him look at his face. He let out a voice dripping with murder.

“We have to rot for three years because of you, a nobody. So, you should repay us.”

“pay?”

“Okay, repayment.”

“What do you mean to repay me? I didn’t even invite you. “Wasn’t it sent by Unjungcheon to watch over me?”

“Hey, I don’t like the look in your eyes. “I guess I’ll have to stop looking at you first and talk to you.”

Jang Paesan nodded to one of the men standing behind him. Among his team members was Noh Ji-gwang, who was known for his expertise in torture. He was one of Jangpaesan’s henchmen and could do anything he ordered.

“Hehe! “Kid, let’s start lightly.”

Noh Ji-gwang took out Sodo from his arms. The sword, which was only as long as a child’s palm, from handle to blade, had a black blade forged.

When Noh Ji-gwang lightly scratched the back of Jin Mu-won’s hand with Sodo, the flesh cracked and fresh blood flowed out in droplets. It was so sharp that it was only after seeing the blood that I realized that the flesh had been split.

“Ugh!”

Jin Mu-won let out a groan at the pain that came later. The pain was more severe than expected, as if I had touched a nerve.

“It wasn’t what I wanted, but I learned a lot without realizing it as I followed this guy around. That’s how torture was learned. “It’s not something I learned formally, but getting a kid like you to open his mouth is no problem.”

Noh Ji-gwang placed the sword on the tip of Jin Mu-won’s finger. Jin Mu-won flinched unconsciously at the cold feeling on his fingers. But his gaze still remained undiminished.

“You must be confident, right?”

“What are you talking about, kid?”

“The confidence that you can touch me and be safe.”

“Kkkkkk! I don’t know what you’re talking about. You are an orphan and no one cares. “Maybe if you die here, no one will know.”

“If you really think that way, you’re just a fool.”

Noh Ji-gwang raised his eyes at Jin Mu-won’s harsh words. She felt insulted.

Sigh!

Without warning, Noh Ji-gwang pricked Jin Mu-won’s finger with a small sword. Sodo dug sharply between his fingers and nails.

“Ugh!”

Jin Mu-won’s body bounced up like a carp that had been harpooned. My eyes were bloodshot and my teeth chattered from the pain.

“what? You’re stupid. “Say it again, kid.”

“Ugh! “You are an idiot.”

“Iik!”

When Noh Ji-gwang got angry and twisted the sword, Jin Mu-won’s fingernails split open. Jin Mu-won couldn’t even scream due to the tremendous pain of having his nails torn off along with his raw flesh, and his eyes only widened.

Seeing that sight, So Musang and others turned their heads.

“Try again, kid. “Am I stupid?”

“Off!”

“How can a bastard the size of a dick be so fearless… … .”

Noh Ji-gwang huffed and glared at Jin Mu-won. Jin Mu-won, who had been trembling for a long time, looked at No Ji-gwang with her bloodshot eyes.

“sugar… … God is also a fool. “You don’t even know that you have taken a step into hell.”

“Still, the little bastard… … .”

“Do you know why Unjungcheon kept me alive?”

For a moment, Noh Ji-gwang was shocked. It was the same with Jangpaesan Mountain. I was so blinded by treasures and the level of military skill that I didn’t even think about it.

“I don’t think you felt the same way about those who came here before you? “Do you think they didn’t touch me because they were brainless?”

Fresh blood is flowing from Jin Mu-won’s lips as he struggles to speak. I ended up biting my lip from the excruciating pain. Still, she didn’t forget to glare at Noh Ji-gwang. Those eyes were so harsh and scary that even Noh Ji-gwang in the world flinched.

Instead of Noh Ji-gwang, who was embarrassed, Jang Paesan stepped forward.

“That’s pretty cool, kid. How could you make a threat even at a moment like this? But it’s no use. If you don’t want to suffer anymore, give away your hidden treasure. “The longer you endure, the more severe the pain will be.”

“Do my words sound like a threat?”

“Such threats don’t work on me.”

Jang Paesan nodded at Noh Ji-gwang with an annoyed expression on his face. It means more torture. When Lu Ji-gwang nodded and was about to put the sword between Jin Mu-won’s fingernails again, So Musang stepped forward.

“Let’s hear what he has to say, Captain.”

“Hey, you’re not going to be swayed by that little guy’s words, are you? Nothing. “It’s just nonsense for a kid to avoid suffering.”

Jang Paesan waved his hand as if it wasn’t worth the effort. Then Jin Mu-won looked at So Mu-sang.

“Do you think so too? “Do you think I’m telling nonsense just to avoid some pain?”

Su Mu-sang looked straight at Jin Mu-won’s face.

It’s clearly a face full of pain. The will is strong, but the body cannot keep up, so the whole body is shaking. If you lift a finger without hearing any more words, your life is dead. However, So Musang could not do that.

It was because of Jin Mu-won’s eyes.

Even though he was sick of pain, his eyes were not frightened. At least Jin Mu-won’s eyes did not waver even in the pain. Su Mu-sang had never once seen a boy of Jin Mu-won’s age with eyes like this.

‘This guy?’

So Musang looked at Jangpaesan Mountain.

Jang Paesan was ordering No Ji Gwang to be tortured again. So Musang said something to Jang Paesan.

“Captain, let’s listen to the kid’s story first. “It’s torture because it can be done at any time.”

“you?”

“Because you never know. “There’s no harm in being careful, right?”

“That’s right, Commander.”

As Won Jeok-sim and Yu Gyeong-cheon agreed with So Musang’s opinion, Jang Paesan could not help but remain stubborn. Even other group members seemed to have the same opinion as Somusang.

Jang Paesan squatted down in front of Jin Muwon.

“Kid, if you can’t answer properly, I’ll cut you into pieces and scatter them in the wilderness, regardless of whether it’s your wealth or your military service. “Then the wolf cubs will really like it.”

“Threats, that’s not what you do.”

“This little guy!”

“Why did Unjungcheon spare me? After my father passed away, why did he let me live even though he had hundreds of chances to kill me? What on earth am I worth? Do you really think Gui Zhuge, one of the nine heavens of Unjung Heaven, would have been less intelligent than you and not have killed me?”

“Mmm!”

When Jin Mu-won even mentioned Western culture, Jang Pa-san’s face became extremely hard.

The nine skies that rule the Unjungcheon. Western culture is one of them.

The supreme being that Jangpaesan cannot even dare to mention by name or look up to is Seomunhwa.

“bloke!”

“I am a hostage. “And a very precious hostage.”

Jin Mu-won laughed.

The sight of him laughing while bleeding fresh blood looked somehow creepy rather than sad. Jin Mu-won looked around. The men who caught his gaze flinched unconsciously, feeling an ominous feeling for some reason.

“What does that mean? “You’re a hostage.”

“Think about it carefully. “What value do I have as a hostage?”

Jin Mu-won’s words had a strange power that made others listen. Not only Jang Paesan, but even So Musang was thinking about Jin Muwon’s words without realizing it. Jin Mu-won’s value as a hostage.

‘What value does a kid like this have as a hostage?’

After Milya disappeared, the world’s power was being reorganized. Unjungcheon was firmly reigning at the top of the powerhouse, and the Nine Daemun Sect and the Five Great Families were still showing off their power. However, neither force needs Jin Mu-won.

‘If there is one, the fallen Beokcheonmun Gate… … ‘North Heavenly Gate?’

At that moment, a hypothesis popped into Jang Paesan and others’ minds.

‘The warriors of the Northern Heavenly Gate.’

After the fall of Bukcheon Gate, Bukcheon Temple settled smoothly in the central plains. In return for contributing to the downfall of the Bukcheonmun, he received understanding from the existing sects and entered the central plains.

Most of the warriors at the Northern Heavenly Gate were absorbed into the Northern Heavenly Gate. But there were also those who did not. Although they became trees that lost their roots due to the fall of the Northern Heavenly Gate, they had a power that could never be ignored.

If they had rebelled against Unjungcheon’s decision, the Jungwon would have fallen into great confusion. If they moved, the Northern Angels also had no choice but to participate in some way.

On the outside, he was a powerhouse enjoying peace thanks to Unjungcheon, but if you look closely behind the scenes, that wasn’t necessarily the case. It was a situation where many complex factors were intertwined and barely balanced.

What if Jin Mu-won dies in such a situation?

What if the warriors of the Northern Heavenly Gate wandering around the world become angry and wake up as a result?

If such a situation occurs, the warriors absorbed into the Northern Heavenly Pillar will also have no choice but to become agitated. Northern Heavenly Master would never want such a situation. And Unjungcheondo.

A groan escaped Jang Paesan’s lips.

“Mmm!”

“I guess you’ve finally noticed.”

“You?”

“If there were treasures or martial arts secrets you wanted, do you think Unjungcheon would have left them behind? There is no such thing. Even if it was there, it was completely taken away from the stream of clouds. I’m a hostage. However, it is difficult to treat it carelessly. “The moment the rumor spreads about what happened to me, the Northern Heavenly Pillar will move, and if that happens, even if you live, you won’t be alive.”

“Ugh!”

Only then did the others’ faces turn pale as they realized the situation. In particular, the face of Noh Ji-gwang, who ripped off Jin Mu-won’s fingernails, was so crumpled that it was almost pitiful to see.

“Now you know what your situation is, right?”

“Would it be better if I killed you secretly?”

“Do you think you can cover it up forever if I kill you? If you can, do it.”

Jin Mu-won stuck out his neck to Jang Paesan. Seeing that sight, Jangpaesan actually hesitated.

It was just as Jin Mu-won said. Even if they kill Jin Mu-won now and run away to the central plains, Un Jung-cheon will definitely find them. Because Unjungcheon is the world itself.

“Your job from now on is to release me and treat my wounds. “After that, we’ll think about what to do with you.”

“profit!”

Jang Paesan clenched his fists. In my head, I know that Jin Mu-won is right. But his wounded pride was holding him back.

So Musang approached Jang Paesan and whispered.

“Even if what he says is a lie, he must be released.”

“Mmm!”

“Have you already searched every corner? There are no items of wealth or martial arts here. All that’s left is that kid. “It’s not difficult to kill that kid, but if it causes problems, not only we but our family will be intact.”

Jang Paesan’s cheeks flushed with anger. But in the end, Jang Paesan also had no choice but to acknowledge So Musang’s words.

“Free him. And take me to my place.”

At Jang Paesan’s order, his subordinates loosened the ropes that bound Jin Muwon. Jin Mu-won barely managed to get up, clutching his trembling fingers as his nails fell off.

Jin Mu-won said while glaring at Jang Paesan.

“I will not forget this debt.”

“I’ll let you live for now, but when you’re no longer useful to me, I’ll cut off your hair with my own hands.”

“If only I could. And let me make one thing clear.”

“What do you mean?”

“This is my house. You are unwanted guests. So, from now on, I hope you stick to your duties as a guest. Stop searching my room for no reason. As you can see, most of it is just useless junk. So don’t waste any more useless energy. “If you just keep that in mind, I’ll skip today’s work.”

“Come on, kid. Let’s do that. But I definitely do too. If you ever offend me again, I will kill you no matter if it is Unjungcheon or Bukcheonmun. “Keep this in mind.”

Jin Mu-won smiled and walked away. Jang Paesan glared at Jin Muwon’s back with scary eyes.

Suddenly, Jin Mu-won stopped in front of So Musang. The two people’s eyes met in the air for a moment. But that was only for a moment, and soon Jin Mu-won went out.

“Kha!”

Jin Mu-won, who came out of the prison, finally let out the rough breath he had been holding. The pain I had been holding in so hard was finally felt clearly. Although only one of his fingernails was pulled out, the pain was beyond imagination.

Only then did Jin Mu-won know for sure. The human body is weaker than we think. Just a wound of this magnitude can render one incapable of resisting. If I didn’t have a superhuman will to live, I wouldn’t have been able to gamble with Jang Paesan.

‘Worth as a hostage? Do you have the capacity for something like that? ‘Who cares anymore about the Northern Heavenly Gate, which has already been ruined?’

The Northern Heavenly Lord probably doesn’t care whether Jin Mu-won lives or dies. Rather, it is beneficial to conduct more thorough internal crackdowns.

Jin Mu-won knew.

That your life is in your own hands. The fact is that emergency is only possible if you survive in your own home. We survived that way before, and we will survive that way in the future.

Jin Mu-won headed to his residence, dripping blood. A long black shadow appeared behind his back.
