Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 199
“You’re the Iron Blood Magoon?”
He had heard of her before.
Iron Blood Magoon Yeo Hui.
She was one of the executives of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, known to possess formidable martial arts.
From what he heard, her talent was so highly regarded that she rose to the position of Magoon at a young age—a genius, wasn’t she?
‘But why is such a person tied up here?’
Namgung Hyeok looked at Yeo Hui with suspicious eyes.
Her limbs were bound, and her internal energy was restricted by a prohibition technique.
No matter how he looked at it, this didn’t seem like a situation where they were hosting an allied executive.
If the opponent was a Magoon of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, under normal circumstances, the demon cult members wouldn’t treat her this way.
“Heh, you don’t believe me because I look like this?”
Yeo Hui burst into laughter.
“Well, that’s understandable. It’s hard to believe that someone in such a pathetic state is a Magoon.”
“You know well. Until just now, I was thinking you were making fun of me.”
“Oh? But now it’s different?”
“When I thought about it carefully, I realized there’s no reason for you to lie. You wouldn’t gain anything by deceiving me.”
“At least I could use the name of Magoon to intimidate my opponent.”
“In such a pathetic state, all tied up like that? No matter if you’re a Magoon, looking like that, I wouldn’t feel any intimidation.”
“Ha! That’s true too.”
Yeo Hui giggled.
“Anyway, I’m glad you believe me. I was bored with no one to talk to.”
“Why is a Magoon of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult imprisoned in a place like this?”
“There was a minor problem.”
“A minor problem?”
“Yeah. I fell into a trap set by Baekgol Magoon.”
“Hmm.”
Namgung Hyeok looked at Yeo Hui with sharp eyes.
He was trying to determine whether this was truth or lies.
‘It doesn’t seem like she’s lying.’
Her eyes were too clear to be lying.
It was as if she was purely telling the truth.
But his doubts weren’t resolved.
“Why would Baekgol Magoon, a fellow Magoon, trap you?”
“Heh, I’m more curious about your story.”
“My story?”
“Yeah. Why did someone with your skills get captured so obediently?”
“….”
“You might fool the eyes of other idiots, but you can’t fool mine. Unless Baekgol Magoon himself was there, you’re not someone who would be caught by those idiots outside.”
Yeo Hui spoke with a confident tone.
Slightly surprised by this, Namgung Hyeok chuckled and replied.
“Let me say that I also had a minor problem.”
“Haha! You’re going to play it that way?”
“Who knows. If you explain your situation first, I might feel like telling you.”
“Fine. Since you put it that way, I have no choice.”
Yeo Hui readily nodded and opened her mouth.
“First, let me make this clear. I have no sense of belonging to the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult.”
“What?”
“I just happened to be born in the cult’s territory, so I naturally became a warrior of the cult. If I had been born elsewhere, I would have become a murim person from that place.”
“I never expected to hear such words from someone who became a Magoon.”
“Haha! Surprised? But it’s true. I’m not interested in the cult’s doctrines or politics—I only have the desire to become stronger.”
“But how did you end up in this state?”
“One day while I was wandering around, Baekgol Magoon and two other Magoons approached me. It was to pull me into their faction.”
“Their faction?”
“A faction supporting the Second Young Master.”
Yeo Hui’s eyes became slightly sharp.
“The main cult doesn’t have a clearly decided successor right now. So the cult leader’s sons and daughters are desperately trying to achieve merit in their respective positions to become the young cult leader.”
“I roughly understand what kind of situation it is.”
“Right?”
Namgung Hyeok nodded.
In a way, it was surprising.
Even the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, called the strongest single force in murim, had such problems.
It made him think anew that it was also a place where people lived.
“Anyway, Baekgol Magoon and the other trash tempted me with various sweet words. They rattled on about the various advantages I could gain if I joined their faction.”
“And you rejected it?”
“Heh, I told you. I’m not really interested in anything other than becoming stronger. Honestly, I didn’t care which of the cult leader’s offspring became the young cult leader. But they couldn’t understand my words even after hearing them.”
“Not everyone has the same thoughts. So you’re being ‘persuaded’?”
“You got it right. That’s exactly right. The three of them joined forces to subdue me, then threatened that if I didn’t want to die, I should follow them. My current state is all because of that.”
“Couldn’t you just pretend to follow them and get released?”
“Unfortunately, they’re not that easy-going. Even if I swore loyalty, they said they’d place a prohibition technique on my body and make me consume parasites. To prepare for possible betrayal, I guess? Well, even if they didn’t do that, I would never surrender to them anyway.”
Yeo Hui giggled.
Namgung Hyeok quietly observed her once more.
A gaze to determine whether she was lying or not.
But no matter how much he looked, she didn’t seem to be lying. What she revealed here was probably the truth.
‘If that’s the case….’
A thought flashed through Namgung Hyeok’s mind.
‘Can’t I use this?’
Anyway, Yeo Hui held deep resentment toward Baekgol Magoon.
If so, she could be helpful for their escape.
‘The problem is how much she’ll follow my words….’
“Now, let’s hear your story. What’s your identity?”
While he was thinking like that, Yeo Hui asked curiously.
Namgung Hyeok pondered for a moment before answering.
“Seonghwa Gate Master Namgung Hyeok.”
“…!”
This time it was Yeo Hui who was surprised.
She looked at Namgung Hyeok with a genuinely shocked expression. She seemed unable to believe it.
“The Seonghwa Gate Master? Why would such a person….”
“I told you. I have circumstances.”
“Ha! Interesting. If what you say is true, you must have infiltrated here secretly? There’s no way Baekgol Magoon’s subordinates, not even Baekgol Magoon himself, could capture someone like the Seonghwa Gate Master.”
“Something like that.”
“What if I blabber to those guys? Why did you readily reveal your identity?”
“You won’t do that.”
“Kyahaha! I won’t indeed. Why would I tell them anything when I don’t find them endearing?”
After her brief shock, Yeo Hui laughed gleefully as if she found it amusing.
“Right. I understand. You came to rescue that woman, Sa Gong Yeon Hwa or something, didn’t you?”
“Oh, you know about her?”
“Rather than knowing, I heard about it while being here. I heard that old man Baekgol Magoon has his eye on her. He even took hostages so she couldn’t escape recklessly.”
“Those hostages were just freed. Instead, she and I came in to serve as hostages.”
“I see. Hm, so you’re probably planning to escape tonight or around dawn tomorrow?”
“That’s right.”
“Let me join in.”
Namgung Hyeok quietly stared at Yeo Hui.
“What do you mean by join in?”
“I mean I’ll help you two escape. Three would be safer than two, wouldn’t it?”
“Of course it would be. However, we haven’t built enough trust to escape together, have we?”
“Kyahaha! That’s true. But you had your own thoughts when you blabbed about the plan, didn’t you?”
‘She caught on.’
She was indeed a formidable opponent.
He had been thinking of manipulating her appropriately to help their side, but she noticed his intention and came out like this.
However, the fact that they could communicate well wasn’t bad in itself.
“Let me hear your demands.”
“Remove the iron chains and prohibition technique binding me. And I’d like you to grant me asylum in your Seonghwa Sect.”
“Asylum? Are you planning to betray the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult?”
“Even if I escape from here, the Second Young Master’s faction won’t leave me alone anyway. To survive, I’d have to go to another faction and bow my head, but I don’t want to do that.”
“So you’d rather come to Seonghwa Sect instead. After all, you don’t have much attachment to the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult.”
“Hm, if you can’t trust me, you can apply a new prohibition technique.”
“No, I’ll trust you. Your words seem reasonable.”
‘And if you seem like you’ll betray us, I can just kill you.’
Namgung Hyeok swallowed that thought and stood up from his seat.
“Huh? What are you doing?”
“I changed my mind.”
“What?”
“I was originally going to wait until night or dawn, but…”
Slash!
The iron bars blocking Namgung Hyeok were cut away like slicing tofu.
Having escaped outside so easily, he looked at Yeo Hui and said.
“If you’re helping, there’s no need for that.”
Namgung Hyeok swung his sword once more.
Miraculously, the Azure Heaven Sword cut only the iron chains wrapped around her.
Clang!
The iron chains that could no longer serve their purpose fell to the ground.
At the same time, Namgung Hyeok grabbed Yeo Hui’s wrist and infused Sacred Fire into it.
The prohibition technique suppressing her was instantly released.
“Kyahahaha! How bold. They said the Sect Master who revived the vanished Seonghwa Sect was an extraordinary figure, and those words were indeed true.”
“Do you need a separate weapon?”
“No need. I’m not picky about weapons anyway, so I can just grab any guy and take his.”
“Good. Then let’s meet again in half an hour.”
Namgung Hyeok’s eyes turned sharp.
“We subdue this place.”
* * *
The two people freed from their restraints moved in different directions to find Baekgol Magoon’s subordinates.
“What? You bastard, how did you get out…”
Slash!
The Demon Cult member who had frowned upon seeing Namgung Hyeok couldn’t continue his words.
At that moment, a sharp sword strike took his life.
Thud!
“You, you crazy bastard!”
“Kill him!”
The Demon Cult members, enraged at seeing their comrade die, rushed at him.
Namgung Hyeok calmly swung the Azure Heaven Sword.
Azure Sky Limitless Sword Technique.
It was a secret sword technique that only the bloodline of the Namgung Family Estate could learn.
He was able to cut down more than ten Demon Cult members in an instant.
“He’s, he’s a master!”
“This bastard was hiding his skills!”
“Bring Master Hwang!”
The Demon Cult members who saw Namgung Hyeok cried out in alarm.
At a glance, there seemed to be a tremendous wall of skill between them and him.
However, the Demon Cult members trying to request support had no choice but to hesitate for a moment.
“Kyaaaaaaak!”
“Iron, Iron Blood Demon! How are you here!”
“Kyahahahaha!”
Because from the distance, along with the screams of their allies, came the laughter of a woman.
They all looked at Namgung Hyeok with stiffly hardened faces.
“You, you crazy bastard. Don’t tell me you freed the Iron Blood Demon?”
“But even if you released the iron chains, there should have been a prohibition technique, so how…”
“That’s none of your business.”
Namgung Hyeok answered coldly and immediately attacked the Demon Cult members.
“Kyaaaak!”
“Kuhuk!”
The Demon Cult members who tried somehow to stop him screamed and died.
Rather than annihilating them all, Namgung Hyeok focused on advancing forward and breaking through.
Soon arriving at the inner stronghold of this base, he was able to reach the place where Sa Gong Yeon Hwa was being held.
“Se, Sect Master!?”
Sa Gong Yeon Hwa, who had come out in advance after hearing the screams, looked at Namgung Hyeok with a surprised expression.
She must have been flustered because it was different from the plan.
Namgung Hyeok just smiled quietly at that.
“I told you. That I would come to rescue you.”
“…!”
Sa Gong Yeon Hwa’s eyes widened considerably.
Namgung Hyeok spoke gently to her.
“Let’s go. To the people waiting for you.”
