Book 2: Chapter 108: Our young master Kim is-! (1)

<Our young master Kim is-! (1)>

Who was the Sword Saint?

He was the Namgung Clan's Ancestral patriarch and one of the Orthodox faction's five saints.

Furthermore, he was famous for his pride.

He basically never lowered his head even toward the Martial Arts Alliance leader or anybody older than him.

Gasp.

That was why seeing the Sword Saint lower his head toward Cale made someone gasp.

However, that person became shocked at his actions and covered his mouth with both hands.

It was because he was scared of the Sword Saint's cold gaze.

Who is he?

Young master Kim? Who is that?

Everybody just peeked at Cale or openly looked at him to scope him out.

I dont know?

He doesn't seem strong?

However, all they saw was a slightly pale and skinny guy whose martial arts level was terrible.

Hmm.

There were some people with sharp gazes among those spectators.

The Sword Saint lowering his head? This is not trivial information.

Benefactor? How long has it been since the Namgung Clan had a benefactor?

I need to inform the boss about this! The Sword Demon is important but we have to look into this as well!

They stealthily left and went in different directions.

Chief Eunuch Wi slowly motioned with his eyes to the Eastern Depot member standing next to him.

Follow the movements of the people who just left. Figure out if they are part of the Unorthodox faction, Orthodox faction, or Demon Cult.

If none of the above

Or if they are from the Blood Cult. They are definitely people moving to deliver information.

Yes sir!

The Eastern Depot member slowly moved away. That member had people working for him as well, so Chief Eunuch Wi would soon receive information about the people who just left.

Ill need to report it to young master Kim.

This information would then be filtered through Chief Eunuch Wi and delivered to Cale.

He turned to look at Cale.

As expected.

Cale was standing there with a scowl as if he found all of this to be awkward.

Based on the messenger-nims personality, he probably doesn't like such an openly respectful treatment.

Chief Eunuch Wi looked toward the Sword Saint.

The Sword Saint is treating the young master-nim like this despite knowing that is the case.

The reason was simple.

He wants to openly let people know that he is the Namgung Clan's benefactor.

Messing with young master Kim is messing with the Namgung Clan and the Sword Saint.

Do so only if you are confident that you can handle our sword.

That was probably the meaning behind it.

It's definitely something they would do based on the records we have regarding the Namgung Clan's benefactors in the past.

With their extremely high pride, that clan would not stand to watch their benefactor be harmed.

However, I dont think the Sword Saint is showing such care toward young master Kim-nim just because of that.

The Sword Saint was someone who was more calculative than he looked and focused a lot on the benefits for his clan.

Hmm.

Chief Eunuch Wi looked toward Elder Ho.

The Elder of the Beggars' Gang. He was looking at this scene as if he had made a mistake.

Young master Kim-nim is heading toward the Martial Arts Alliance.

The Sword Saint was showing that the Orthodox faction's person standing next to young master Kim was not the Beggars' Gang of the Nine Sects One Gang but the Namgung Clan of the Nine Sects One Gang. He wanted to show that it was his clan.

Hes probably plotting on looking like a victim of the Blood Cult's schemes while using this opportunity to increase the Namgung Clan's power in the Martial Arts Alliance.

The Martial Arts world truly had to be cautious of these old monsters.

The Carnage Demon probably has similar thoughts, which led her to agree to escort young master Kim-nim to the Unorthodox faction.

Chief Eunuch Wi peeked toward Cale again.

And I'm sure young master Kim-nim is keeping them by his side despite knowing all of this.

Furthermore, Chief Eunuch Wi thought that Cale would treat such petty schemes or greed as not important on his path and just go down the most efficient way.

This sir is someone who showed that intense aura in front of his Majesty as well.

These old monsters probably looked like clowns to him.

Chief Eunuch Wi looked at the still silent Cale and slowly smiled. He thought that being able to serve Cale would remain a proud accomplishment of his life.

H, human! D, did you see that?

At that time, Cale was letting an anxious Raons voice in one ear and out the other.

He just gulped without making it visible.

Its a golden carriage! That doesnt look like paint?!

He did not ignore this one.

It definitely doesnt. Can you use gold to create the walls of a carriage?

There was a golden carriage sparkling behind the 300 or so members of the Heavenly Guardians.

Please get on.

Cale seemed to be in a daze as he nodded his head at the Sword Saint's comment.

I heard that the Namgung Clan was wealthy, but it looks like they are even wealthier than I imagined.

They had to be in order to prepare a golden carriage to take Cale.

Human, lets loot the Namgung Clan!

Should we really do that?

Cale heard a sound transmission as he subconsciously had that thought.

I prepared a carriage because your body did not seem to be fully healed. Tae Wi will be in a different carriage so you can relax with your people.

The Sword Saint stoically commented.

Once we reach the clan, I will give you an elixir that is good for recovering your health. You ended up like this saving Tae Wi, so shouldnt it be on the Namgung Clan to heal our benefactor?

An elixir that someone with the Sword Saint's level of discerning eye was saying was good

The elixir should suit you well since you use a power with the aura of fire, young master Kim.

Cale just nodded his head.

He didn't know how to send sound transmissions.

He started to think.

It looks like theyll just give things to me even if I don't loot them.

It felt as if the Sword Saint would do that.

As expected.

The Sword Saint was amazed that Cale just gently nodded his head despite the golden carriage and mention of an elixir.

I didn't think he would be extremely excited, but he shows no signs of being happy.

However, he still accepted it.

He is a member of the Imperial family so I guess he wouldn't be shocked by gold or money.

Of course, the Sword Saint didnt know that the truth was that Cale didnt know how to send sound transmissions and did not want to talk about elixirs in front of so many people.

Hmm. But this is still hurting my pride.

The Sword Saint's level of pride toward the Namgung Clan was at its peak.

As such, he wanted to do something that could shock this dignified young man.

I, the Sword Saint, and our Namgung Clan want to shock this person who has reached the Nature Realm and is the eldest senior of the Imperial family.

It is also an investment.

The Anhui Province had fertile land.

Dokgo Chang hid his anxiety while looking at young master Kim who looked shocked.

Those cunning Namgung Clan bastards! You think you can monopolize young master Kim by saying that he is your benefactor?

It was obvious that young master Kim would achieve quite a lot of fame in the near future.

His abilities were amazing.

I cant just let that happen!

He needed to make some sort of relationship between young master Kim and the Dokgo Clan.

Since he is Noble Warrior Sword Demon's friend, we have no reason to question his character either!

He tensely waited for young master Kim's response.

Mm. Sure.

Cale answered without much hesitation. Positively at that.

R, really sir?

Dokgo Chang was so happy at the fact that a member of the Imperial family so easily said that he would come visit a falling clan like the Dokgo Clan without any hesitation.

Yes sir. Of course.

There was a reason Cale willingly nodded his head.

The Dokgo Clan is next to Sichuan, isn't it?

They were indeed in the neighborhood next to Sichuan.

He needed to go to Sichuan for the Blood Cult, so it would be great if a clan that knows the area well was by his side.

I'll use the Namgung Clan for the Martial Arts Alliance and then the Dokgo Clan for Sichuan.

Thatll make things much easier.

A gentle smile appeared on Cales face.

I'll let them see Choi Jung Soo at that point too.

He couldn't let the Dokgo Clan see Choi Jung Soo right now because of the rumors that needed to be spread, but once they were spread to a degree and the situation was more organized, it shouldn't be an issue showing it to loyal people like the Dokgo Clan.

I need to head that way anyway, so I will stop by.

T, thank you very much, young master-nim!

Cale found it odd that Dokgo Chang was thanking him, but he just accepted it as is and nodded his head.

Ill see you soon.

Yes sir! I will look forward to that day!

Dokgo Chang withdrew without any hesitation.

Uncle. That's great!

He nodded his head at the happy young clan leader Dokgo Ryeong and walked away from the Namgung Clan's people before whispering.

"We need to inform the patriarch-nim.

Yes sir.

Once the Dokgo Clan's people walked away, Cale had to address someone else who took their spot.

Daoshi Un Seon?

The Kunlun Sects Un Seon was standing in front of Cale with both fists clenched.

When can I leave?

Cale wanted to quickly head toward the Martial Arts Alliance.

Since he easily said that he would stop by at the Dokgo Clan, maybe I should ask him to come to our Kunlun Sect once as well?

The Kunlun Sect was basically a candle flickering in the wind with the enemy, the Demon Cult, right in front of them.

No.

The weight of asking to visit the Dokgo Clan was completely different from the weight of asking him to come to the Kunlun Sect.

This young master-nim in front of her should know that as well.

She could not ask for such a difficult request.

I, its nothing, young master-nim.

She stuttered unlike her usual self and tried to turn around.

However, Cale's voice held her in place.

I would like to go to the Kunlun Sect once as well.

Excuse me?

Cale had a thought while looking at the shocked Un Seon.

Yes, I could visit the Demon Cult as an envoy of the Martial Arts Alliance, but Wouldn't it be good to stop by the Kunlun Sect once on my way to the Demon Cult to use them as allies in some way?

Isn't it better to have more allies?

Un Seon seemed to have heard his conversation with Dokgo Chang, so Cale thought that it would be okay to casually mention it.

Cale said it as if it was nothing.

I have something I need to do there. I would like to climb Mount Kunlun once.

Ah.

Cale closed the carriage door while looking at the gasping Un Seon.

I laid the bait so I should just ask to stop there on our way to the Demon Cult.

Click.

Cale closed the carriage door.

Un Seon blankly stared at the closed door.

D, did you hear that?

She listened to her junior martial brother's shocked voice and nodded her head.

The words he said so relaxedly, as if it was common.

.

Coming to the Kunlun Sect in such a situation

Of course, young master Kim would know the meaning behind that. However, he said that he had something to do on Mount Kunlun?

He was telling something like that to her, a member of the Kunlun Sect, as if it was nothing?

She realized it.

This sir is not someone I can make assumptions about.

She was certain that he truly was a martial artist with desires for justice and cooperation.

This kind of sir was the example of the justice of the Orthodox faction.

Lets go.

Yes, senior martial sister.

Un Seon moved away from the carriage.

Soon, Cales group, the Namgung Clan's people, the Beggars' Gang, and the rising stars quickly left Hungshn and headed toward the Monarchs of the Anhui Province

The Namgung Clan.

* * *

While that was going on

The Emperor laughed while looking at the paper in his hand.

Purifying living jiangshis? Saving them and returning them to human?

Ha, haha-

His laughter slowly filled the bedroom he was in.

"Are the Embroidered Uniform Guards ready?

Yes, your Majesty.

The Emperor nodded his head and spoke in a jovial voice.

Yes, I cant just sit still without doing anything. He wanted them so send them immediately.

Yes, your Majesty.

Chief Eunuch Wi, who had received Cales permission, had sent information about the living jiangshis to the Emperor and the Emperor happily sent out a portion of his hands and feet.

The Monarch of not just Anhui Province but the entire Central Plains mumbled to himself.

Young master Kim. We cant let a person of our Imperial family shabbily head toward the Martial Arts Alliance.
