Chapter 998

998 times. It’s not the world I was hoping for

at the end of September.

Twelve Bangpas under the Hocheonmaeng, which remained in Namjikryeseong until the end, changed their affiliation to the Nammaeng.

Since all of them were breakwaters built by the secular disciples of Chilpaimun, they were accepted as very symbolic.

No one doubted that Namjikryeseong was the owner of Nammaeng anymore.

In addition, it was naturally proven that the Hocheon League could not advance into Namjakryeseong, the territory of the Southern Alliance.

Rumors like a lightning strike followed when the Hocheon Alliance was keenly aware of the next move of the South Alliance.

“Mugeukmun leaves Namjiryeseong.”

“Even Mugeukmun, the Chilpai Gate, collapsed under the control of the Southern Alliance.”

“It is said that Wu Geuk Wen is moving the Wen Sect to Zhejiang Province. Will Wu Gewen take his place as the new loser of Zhejiang Province? Shall we raise the world again and reclaim the land?”

Due to the sudden news of Mugeuk Moon’s relocation, Chilpai Gate sank like a sinking ship, and the Southern League rose with the momentum of rising sun.

Hosangs made a noise that the Nam Maeng would not be satisfied with Nam Ji Rye.

Looking at the past of the Southern Alliance, it was difficult to say that it was speculation.

This is because they once commanded more than 150 breakwaters outside Namjiryeseong Fortress when Hocheonmaeng was infamous.

Since the ambitious Sword King and Namcheon, the best man in the world, reconciled, it was only a matter of time before the Southern League advanced outside.

Hefei.

Seokgyeongjang.

around noon.

An unexpected guest visited Seokgyeongjang.

Wu Geuk Moon’s Cheon Gong Do Jang Hak Moon Ju came to meet Yeon Jeok Ha.

Yeon-jeok-ha, who was playing with her daughter, went out to the guest room at the heartbreaking words, “a guest has arrived.”

“You don’t seem to be out drinking these days, do you?”

At Yeonjeokha’s words, Simtong replied bluntly.

“It is the same logic as Confucius playing with Jian.”

“You mean you’re doing it to play with me?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Then why did you think that I was unfaithful?”

“I thought, of course, that the price of alcohol had gone down.”

“oh my. I’m not that drunk.”

While speaking, the audience was reached.

Simtong only guided them to the guest hall, then turned around and left.

Janghak Munju, who discovered Yeonjeokha, got up from his seat and went to town.

“Namcheon Grand Gorge. long time no see.”

“Yes, I see.”

After a while, Yeon Jeok-ha and Jang Hak Mun-ju sat facing each other.

Changhak Munju was the first to get lucky.

“I stopped by to say goodbye.”

“Goodbye?”

Yeon Jeok-ha looked at Jang Hak Mun-ju with a cold face.

It may not be possible, but he was surprised that his work had been known to the outside world.

“I don’t know if you have heard. This time, Wujimen has moved to Hangzhou. Before leaving Nanjing, I would like to greet Namcheon Daehyeop.”

“ah! I was surprised to hear it too.”

He stopped talking and kept his mouth shut with an ambiguous face.

For some reason, the cause seems to be in the Southern Alliance.

just as expected?

Changhak Munju said with a bitter expression.

“The pressure from the Southern League was so severe that I couldn’t stand it. It was difficult to obtain daily necessities because all the customers were blocked.”

“...”

There was nothing to say about the combination.

It was because it was said that Wu Geuk-mun of the world had to leave Nanjing to live.

“Still, the text is on the lucky side. Do you know what happened to the 12 clans under Hocheonmaeng that remained in Namjilgyeseong?”

I shook my head in a row.

I only heard rumors that the 12 clans of the Hocheon League went over to the Nam League, but I didn’t know the details.

“The seven clans voluntarily changed their affiliation to the Southern Alliance... but the situation of the five clans is not good. All of the lords who had strong loyalty to the priestess died violently at the same time.”

“Dead?”

“Yes, all the people who corrected it died within a month or two. They were members of the Hocheonmaeng clan who remained in Namjikryeseong, so they were people who came and went separately from me.”

“....”

“Okay.”

“really. And just in case, if you go to the ‘fourth heaven’.”

“yes.”

“Take care of the Gucheon Sword Spirit until the last moment.”

“why?”

“If rumors of the Nine Heaven Swordsman’s Spirit circulate, even the Heavenly Horse and the Golden Temple will know that you have come. Then I will find a way to deal with you. Maybe hide somewhere you won’t find it. Either way is unfavorable to you, so it’s better not to use it unless it’s unavoidable. If you are in a situation where you need to take out the Nine Heaven Sword Spirit, do not leave witnesses as much as possible.”

“ah!”

In an instant, the spirit of serialization flashed.

Indeed, it is as she said.

It was his loss as much as he knew and prepared for it first.

After a while, Yeonjeokha, who went out to the floor, lifted Jian, who was playing with Wol-ah and Geum-ah, and hugged her tightly.

When Jian struggled, he relaxed his arm.

“Jian, Dad, I’ll go somewhere and come back. In the meantime, listen carefully to mom and have fun with the older sisters. Understand?”

“yes.”

With a regretful face, he reluctantly put Jian down.

Wol-ah and Geum-a, who were quick-witted, spoke one word at a time.

“Have a good trip, sir.”

“We will take good care of the accident.”

“Yes, I believe in you.”

Yeon Jeok-ha, who had been watching Jian for a while, went down to the yard.

Clouds gathered beneath his feet.

Namgungyeon, who was standing holding Jian’s hand, suddenly shouted.

“Hey enemy!”

“yes?”

“Don’t be late! Bye!”

“Okay.”

He waved his hand with a calm face.

Clouds rose high above the stone sutras, but his eyes were still on Namgoongyeon and Jian.

Only after Namgung-yeon told him to go, the clouds slowly left the sky as if pushed by the wind.

***

Early October.

starlight.

Wudang Mountain.

around dusk.

A cloud settled near the prose gate of the Mudang faction.

Soon after, a young man walked out of the clouds.

He is a long-time enemy who left Hefei three days ago.

Having flown 1,500 li (about 600 km), he looked quite haggard.

It is because the state of mind is not comfortable rather than physical fatigue.

As a courtesy to Samun, he took fortune-telling and slowly walked to Sanmun.

As we approached the mountain gate, three young Taoists blocked our way.

For an instant, the eyes of the guru and Yeonjeokha met.

However, the guru with low angryeol could not recognize Yeonjeokha.

“The main gate is prohibiting outsiders from entering for the time being. If you are a tourist, please visit us again next time.”

Yeonjeokha, who had been hesitant, said while talking.

“Teacher, I am a disciple of Ohryonggung and my name is Namcheon. May I come in?”

At his introduction, the masters, who had blinked their eyes in bewilderment, bent their backs.

Before long, Doyoung, the leader of the guru, pointed to the inside of the mountain gate.

“Namcheon Daehyeop! I didn’t even know. Eat inside.”

Yeon Jeok-ha strode away, and Do-young followed him with quick steps.

“Namcheon Grand Gorge. So, did you visit the Oryong Palace today?”

“For now.”

After that, I plan to look for Jang Moon-in. However, I had no intention of saying such a thing to a guru I met for the first time.

“I see.”

Shortly thereafter, the crossroads between Sangcheong Palace and Ohryong Palace appeared.

When Yeonjeokha entered the direction of Oryonggung, Doyoung rushed towards Sangcheonggung.
