Chapter 132

‘Did he notice something?’

Since he was one of the Ten Supremes under Heaven, it was entirely possible.

Under Namgung Cheon’s sharp gaze, I felt my heart burning up for a moment.

If Eok I-geon couldn’t hold back and revealed his demonic energy here, that would be a problem in its own right.

‘Young Master, please!’

With a desperate hope, I tightly gripped Eok I-geon’s sleeve.

“What are you doing here?”

It was then that a third party’s voice intervened.

An elderly man who appeared to be around the same age as Namgung Cheon approached us with his subordinates.

‘Moryong Gil…’

From the way he naturally conversed with Namgung Cheon, it was definitely Moryong Gil of the Moyong Family.

To think these two bastards came all the way to Wuhan on their own feet.

Since Grandmother is alive, you’re both properly scared shitless right now, aren’t you?

In any case, I’m absolutely delighted that I don’t have to go looking for them myself.

“It’s nothing.”

“You were rushing us saying the journey was urgent, but now you’re being bland.”

“Let’s go.”

Namgung Cheon glanced at me and Eok I-geon once more, then immediately lost interest and turned away.

Fortunately, it definitely wasn’t because of the demonic energy.

Then was he annoyed because I was glaring at him?

‘What an incredibly petty old geezer.’

Unlike Namgung Cheon, Moryong Gil didn’t even spare us a glance.

Honestly, I found that ridiculous too.

How could he see Eok I-geon’s beauty and have no reaction?

Did he develop presbyopia from old age?

Eok I-geon always caught everyone’s attention wherever he went!

I felt inexplicably irritated.

‘Hmph!’

“Are you alright?”

We stood there as if nailed to the spot until Namgung Cheon and Moryong Gil crossed the main gate of the Martial Arts Alliance.

“Are you alright, Young Master?”

When I nodded and asked back, Eok I-geon patted my head as if to say he was fine too.

This gesture now feels natural to me as well.

At first, I was terrified thinking my head would fly off.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

I had been excited about meeting Grandmother again, but Namgung Cheon’s presence made me truly realize I had come to the Martial Arts Alliance.

This place was like a dragon’s pool and tiger’s den for me, a demon.

‘So let me pull myself together!’

I took a deep breath and quickened my pace.

“Grandmother!”

As we reached the main gate, I could see Grandmother who had come out to greet us.

Though I had sent word ahead through someone, I didn’t expect Grandmother to come out in person.

There was also a monk from Shaolin Temple beside Grandmother. He vouched for mine and Eok I-geon’s identities to the martial artists guarding the main gate of the Martial Arts Alliance.

It seemed to be because Grandmother’s false accusations hadn’t been cleared yet.

“My child! You’ve worked hard coming all this way, haven’t you?”

“What hardship?”

“I’ve heard much about Benefactor Dang’s granddaughter from her. This humble monk is called Gong Myeong.”

“Yes, Master Gong Myeong. I’m called Seolha.”

I bowed politely to Master Gong Myeong who greeted me with a bow.

Perhaps having heard about the original Lankavatara Sutra, his eyes were full of goodwill toward me.

“Have you eaten?”

As expected, our Grandmother immediately started talking about food upon seeing me.

“Of course. I ate two bowls!”

“Well done, my child.”

“But where is Great-great-grandfather? Is he busy?”

In a place like this, there would probably be more than one or two people to meet.

Moreover, there was the matter of Grandmother’s reinvestigation.

“Grandmother, I…”

It was at that moment.

“Cheonsu Dokhwa!”

Suddenly, an intense voice pierced my eardrums along with tremendous energy waves.

“I heard you crawled out into the world, and here you are!”

Extreme killing intent swirled like a blizzard, instantly engulfing the entire area.

“…!”

As pressure came over my entire body, I couldn’t move at all.

I could tell who it was without even looking.

The owner of the killing intent was Namgung Cheon.

He who had entered the headquarters earlier had somehow appeared before us again, exploding with rage.

“Stand behind me.”

Eok I-geon pulled me back like before.

Grandmother stepped in front of Eok I-geon again.

Thanks to that, I could no longer feel the killing intent.

“The time has finally come to appease the wronged souls of that day…!”

Namgung Cheon reproached Grandmother in a tone filled with grief, as if for everyone to hear.

‘Oh my!’

I was so dumbfounded I almost laughed.

What? Appease the wronged souls of that day?

‘Put some saliva on your lips before speaking, you old geezer!’

Namgung Cheon’s hand slowly moved toward his waist.

Namgung Cheon’s appearance was that of a righteous hero more than anyone else.

It was known to the world that he formed a brotherhood with the lord of Geommyeong Mountain Manor.

Therefore, he justified his revenge by saying he would carry it out with his own hands.

‘But I know everything.’

That old snake’s true intention is to kill Grandmother under that pretext.

Then the reinvestigation and everything else would become null and void.

But you know what.

That’s not going to happen, you should know that!

Seventeen years ago and now are completely different!

‘Here it comes!’

Namgung Cheon, who had been targeting Grandmother, suddenly retreated at a terrifying speed.

Crash!

The ground where he had been standing cracked and a deep furrow was carved out.

Whoooosh—

An energy that was now familiar to me too.

Have you arrived?

I quickly raised my head to look up at the sky.

As expected, magnificent.

There stood my reliable great-grandfather with his hands clasped behind his back, looking down at us.

‘His entrances are always this spectacular.’

Personally, it was a part I liked.

Presentation is important, after all.

“Good to see you again.”

Eok Grandfather, having confirmed our safety, grinned at Namgung Cheon.

The Dang Family never forgets a grudge.

Both Grandmother and Eok Grandfather must have repeated countless times, waiting for a day like today to come.

Whoooosh—

A storm-like momentum swirled around Grandfather as its center.

The nearby grass quickly withered yellow and died.

‘H-hey, this is the Martial Arts Alliance!’

Shouldn’t someone stop our grandfather?

As I panicked and could only move my lips, Grandmother quickly grabbed me and pulled me back.

One zhang, two zhang, three zhang…

The poison energy melted people’s hearts and grew endlessly.

Chirp!

A bird flying low got caught in the poison energy and dropped to the ground with a thud.

The bird trembled briefly before its breath was cut short.

“Amitabha.”

I heard Gong Myeong chanting a Buddhist invocation beside me.

If a bird flying through the air was like this, how much worse would it be for the landscaping trees and flowers arranged at the main gate?

The wooden pillars had already dried up and cracked, and the yellowed branches crumbled with a crackling sound.

The flowers were already damaged beyond recognition.

Crash!

Am-wang’s poison energy and Namgung Cheon’s aura collided head-on.

Sparks flew as a tense struggle of power began.

One of Namgung Cheon’s eyebrows twitched.

‘Our grandfather’s power is no joke, right?’

Seeing Grandfather not being pushed back at all, Namgung Cheon seemed quite surprised.

This was our great-grandfather who had devoured both the Snow White Poison Demon and Dok Gak Hwa-ryong’s inner core.

Unless Namgung Cheon obtained some fortune elsewhere, it would be difficult for him to defeat Eok Grandfather.

‘Hehehe.’

Watching Namgung Cheon’s wavering eyes, I felt like ten years of pent-up frustration was finally being released.

The elders of each sect, sensing the massive collision of energy, came out to the main gate of the headquarters only to witness Dang Cheol-woo’s divine might and were all unable to contain their shock.

“He’s definitely reached the Transcendent realm.”

It was a level they could never dare to aspire to.

As if proving his realm before everyone, Dang Cheol-woo erected a barrier of poison energy within a radius of over ten zhang.

“It seems he’s achieved the Poison Body, said to be the highest realm of poison.”

“Haha, the Poison Body!”

“Should we call it Unity of Body and Poison? He’s reached an incredible realm. Truly amazing!”

A Mudang Sect elder exclaimed in admiration.

“This is a blessing for the Martial Arts Alliance and the Righteous Martial Arts World.”

“Not the Ten Supremes, but now we should call them the Eleven Supremes.”

Most did not hide their reverence toward Dang Cheol-woo.

To martial artists, this was worthy of respect.

“However, of all people…”

His opponent had to be Sword Saint Namgung Cheon.

Though the words trailed off, everyone understood. Various complex emotions mixed with worry and concern bloomed chaotically.

Crackle—

It was when the two powerfully clashing energies finally reached the verge of explosion.

Crash!

A sword that flew from somewhere struck down mercilessly between Dang Cheol-woo and Namgung Cheon.

Crackle—

Lightning flickered around the sword.

The tremendous roar and flashing lightning power caused the fierce energy battle between the two to stop momentarily.

“…!”

The owner of the sword that separated the two was none other than Martial Arts Alliance Leader Yeon Un-jang.

Though he couldn’t compare to Dang Cheol-woo and Namgung Cheon, Thunder God Yeon Un-jang was a master who competed for first place in the world when it came to handling lightning energy.

The authority of the Alliance Leader had to be maintained within the Martial Arts Alliance.

Dang Cheol-woo and Namgung Cheon simultaneously withdrew their energy and stepped back.

“Many eyes are watching. Please stop here, both of you.”

Yeon Un-jang infused his voice with internal energy to calm them both.

Namgung Cheon sheathed his sword, but his expression was fiercer than before.

“I’ll take my leave first.”

He offered no apology or greeting. He simply roughly swept his robe and left.

With Namgung Cheon’s obedient withdrawal, the explosive situation was well resolved, but perhaps this was only the beginning.

“Am-wang, let’s have a cup of tea with this Alliance Leader.”

Yeon Un-jang turned his eyes away from Namgung Cheon’s retreating figure and asked Dang Cheol-woo to spare some time.
