Book 2: Chapter 89: Why are you there? (4)
So basically
Cale organized his thoughts.
That old man from the Beggars' Gang, Ho Song Yi or whatever his name is, and that stubborn-looking Dokgo Chang are both trying to save Choi Jung Soo?
An odd light swirled in Cales eyes as he slowly opened them again.
Hey Sui Khan! Our human and innocent Choi Han both have weird gazes now! Ah! Yours is weird too!
Cale did not know what Raon was saying to Sui Khan as he leaned against a tree. He then crossed his arms.
There was a need to watch them a little longer.
It was at that moment.
Haaaa.
Dokgo Chang let out a laughter-like sigh.
Senior. I may know nothing of politics and am in the dark about logic because I only focused on swinging my sword, but I still know how the world runs.
Pss-
There was a quiet sound and the large sword easily pulled out of the ground.
Anger was slowly filling Dokgo Changs eyes.
Wasnt it the Nine Sects One Gang who requested that Noble Warrior Choi be recorded as a Public Enemy of the Martial Arts world? Furthermore, I heard that the Beggars' Gang and the Wudang Sect were the first to bring it up.
With the Beggars' Gang being the one gang in the Nine Sects One Gang The Wudang Sect was one of the nine sects.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
They, as well as the Shaolin Sect, were known as the leaders of the Orthodox faction. In addition, they were a sect with a long history that studied the dao along with the Mount Hua Sect and the Kunlun Sect.
I heard the same thing as Dokgo Chang.
Cale had also heard that the Beggars' Gang had played a big role in this Public Enemy of the Martial Arts World declaration.
After doing that, you are telling me that you are going to go save Noble Warrior Choi? With these little twerps tagging along?
Twerps.
That word made the Beggars' Gang's Young Gang Leader, the monks, and the ascetic scowl.
Amitabha
Of them, an extremely healthy monk was glaring at Dokgo Chang while chanting a Buddhist mantra. As Cale looked toward that person
Chief Eunuch Wi sent a sound transmission.
Young master Kim, I have heard that that person is the Shaolin Sects greatest rising star. His name is Jeong Hye. However, his disposition is extremely hostile for someone who is Buddhist.
It was at that moment.
Hmph. Uncle, I will stop the twerps.
One of the two young people behind Dokgo Chang, the woman, stepped forward.
Chief Eunuch Wi's sound transmission continued.
That is the Dokgo Clan's young clan leader, Dokgo Ryeong. She was born with natural talent and her strength is said to rival those of the Seven Dragons and Five Phoenixes. Oh, for your reference, monk Jeong Hye is one of the Seven Dragons.
The Orthodox faction's talented rising stars who would lead the generation in the future
The most talented of that group were called the Seven Dragons and Five Phoenixes.
It has nothing to do with me anyway.
This was information about people that Cale would not have any big involvement with unless he ran into them randomly as he did with these people.
Even now, Elder Ho was important, but Cale had no interest in these youngsters at all.
Wow.
However, he was a bit amazed.
Chief Eunuch Wi is basically an encyclopedia.
Cale watched the people as if he was a spectator even as he had that thought.
Twerps?
This time, it was the male daoshi whose robe sleeves fluttered as he walked forward.
I wonder if you know who the true completely clueless twerps are! Who is it that is ignoring the law and using justice and cooperation as excuses?!
What? Excuses?
The young man standing next to young clan leader Dokgo Ryeong got angry and pulled out his sword.
Hmph.
Monk Jeong Hye snorted.
Amitabha. Feel free to come at me if you would like, donor.
He was shouting Amitabha and calling them donors while trying to start a fight.
Wow.
Cale was amazed.
Martial artists really have a lot of reasons to fight and the field gets set so easily for the fights.
But he felt as if they would still fight very well.
Hmm?
Cale thought of something once he had that thought.
Numerous martial artists were gathering in Hungshn.
Wouldnt it make things easier if some of them were on our side? Plus, if they are promising rising stars Wouldnt they be people each sect cares about a lot?
Cales eyes sparkled.
Mm.
While all of that was going on, the Fist King's great-granddaughter, Mok Hee, took a deep breath in while standing at the back of the group.
This confrontation was so vicious to the point that it felt as if the two sides might launch violent attacks against each other.
The rage from everyone, except Elder Ho, filled the area.
Huuuuuu.
Elder Ho realized that he needed to work harder in order to calm this angered confrontation.
These stupid Martial Arts world bastards! They never try to have a calm conversation! Those stubborn Dokgo Clan people don't even try to calmly listen to what others have to say!
He had been contemplating it until now.
He wondered if he could say everything since the Imperial familys side was here.
However, he needed to say something because it felt as if people on the same side were about to fight.
But they would not listen just because he decided to talk.
Uncle! I'll take care of that stupid monk!
Heh. What? Amitabha. Please understand that I am teaching a lesson to the donor who has called this smaller vehicle a stupid monk. (TL: Its a term used by Buddhist monks. Wuxia is dumb. I hate translating wuxia.)
You crazy stupid monk! What? Teaching me a lesson?
It was at that moment.
Stop.
The extremely riled-up rising stars flinched after hearing Dokgo Changs voice.
The force behind his voice gave them chills.
In return for declaring him as a Grade 3 Public Enemy of the Martial Arts world, they said that they would choose the reason. They said that they would not agree to declare him a Public Enemy of the Martial Arts World if they could not do that. You know that the Sword Demon does not have a good relationship with the Five Great Clans.
Cale heard a sound transmission in his mind at that moment.
She is one of the five phoenixes, and currently, she has the most skilled movement technique and foot technique among the Orthodox factions rising stars. The Kunlun Sect's Eight Great Styles of the Cloud Dragon.
The eight-step foot technique had been given that name because it resembled a dragon flying through the clouds.
This is daoshi Un Seon, who is expected to have a complete mastery of the Eight Great Styles of the Cloud Dragon. Furthermore, she is said to be one of the top three of the Seven Dragons and Five Phoenixes.
The Kunlun Sect.
If Cale moved as he planned, he should pass by the area of the Kunlun Sect at least once.
Beyond Kunlun The area known as Xinjiang.
That was the location of the Demon Cult.
The organization that had accepted the Heavenly Demon as a god and only respected the strong.
The Kunlun Sect was the Orthodox faction's defensive wall, the last line of defense against that organization that wanted to unify the Martial Arts World.
That was why Cale, who had to stop by the Orthodox faction, the Unorthodox faction, and then head to the Demon Cult, had no choice but to pass by near Kunlun.
Elder-nim.
Un Seon slowly walked forward, respectfully greeted the Elder with a fist-to-palm salute, and calmly spoke.
Please inform Noble Warrior Dokgo of the truth. Furthermore-
She looked toward Cale and Cales group behind him.
Wouldnt it be better to let these sirs be on their way?
It was at that moment.
That will be a bit of an issue.
Cale slightly opened the fan in his hand and fanned himself.
It felt quite nice having a breeze brush past his cheek.
Yes, Cale was feeling good right now.
These seemed like people he could put to good use if things went well.
I will need to hear this as well.
Un Seon avoided Cale's gaze as she spoke.
There were still goosebumps on the back of her hand.
Young master, I do not know which respected sir you are, but this is an issue of the Orthodox faction-
Choi Jung Soo is my friend. He is my close friend from when we were younger.
Elder Ho and Dokgo Chang's eyes opened wide.
Cale felt good seeing the people, who had been slightly curled up because they were shocked at his Dominating Aura, open their eyes wide while looking at him.
Yes, we are all on the same side. So please work hard to find Choi Jung Soo on my behalf. I'll take him and run.
Cale hid his inner thoughts as he spoke.
At that moment
Rustle.
One person stepped forward.
Hmm?
It was Choi Han.
He stood next to Cale and started speaking.
"And I-
Could it be?
Cales eyes opened wide.
What is up with him?
He subconsciously closed the fan and tried to stop Choi Han, but
And I am Choi Jung Soos uncle.
Choi Han said what he wanted to say.
He looked around the temporarily silent area and clenched his fists.
These are people trying to save Choi Jung Soo.
He could not stand still after seeing martial artists who were trying to do that.
There was also one other reason.
Justification.
He could see that Cale was trying to rope these people in, although just temporarily, to travel with them.
Then Cale would need to be the center of this group.
Choi Han had that thought and thought that the biggest thing suited for it would be to provide justification.
He made eye contact with Beacrox for a moment, but
He looked at Elder Ho, Dokgo Chang, and the martial artists as he spoke.
I may look like this, but I am quite old.
Elder Ho opened and closed his mouth a few times before finally getting the words out.
M, metamorphosis?
Dokgo Chang spoke at the same time.
R, rejuvenation?
Choi Han, who didnt really know what these were, just calmly stood there. Choi Han did not know that what he was doing seemed even more profound.
Cale clenched his eyes shut for a moment before opening them back with a relaxed look on his face.
Yes, this is good. What the hell are you guys going to do when his blood relative is here?
Cale nonchalantly asked in a nicer tone than earlier.
By the way, why is the Triumvirate all aiming for Choi Jung Soo?
A moment later, Cale was finally able to completely understand the situation.
So
So, the current Sword Demon
"Choi Jung Soo has the Sky Sword martial arts text, the martial arts of the greatest master of the past five hundred years, the Sword Emperor, as well as an elixir, the ten thousand years old snow ginseng?
Oh. As expected of Choi Jung Soo.
Cale thought that this was very much Choi Jung Soo.
Human, your face is much brighter now!
