“Unnie~”

“Ryeaya!”

Ryo-ah, who must have reached the growth stage and is five inches tall, ran to Heukmyo and Yeo Il-ye and hugged them. Ryeo-ah, who lost her plump breasts, looked quite like a girl.

“You get a drink too.”

“Ah, yes.”

The three of us hugged each other, squealed, complimented each other’s looks, took our eyes off the three people spinning around, and accepted the glass of alcohol that the matriarch had given us.

There were a total of five people at the table I was sitting at, including the head of the family, the elder of the family, Lord Pungyeong, and Lord Dang Do-gyeong.

“I can’t believe it even after seeing it. It’s been less than 5 years since you were diagnosed with celiac disease…”

The old man in the dock, who confirmed my state, looked as if he had seen a ghost.

The surprise of the old man who has been solving miscellaneous blood with me step by step since I was second-class is bound to be special.

“Yes, I heard your performance warmed my ears. It was an event that cleared away the scum of Sichuan Province and prevented the movement of a blood religion through the Sichuan Nangin Cup Review Tournament…”

The head of the family burst into laughter.

“It looks like you decided to show off your gambling skills as well?”

“Yes, well…it just happened to be like that.”

“Yes. Now I can finally go somewhere and say that I learned a lesson from Noegeomnangin.”

“Hahaha! Being Tao Shin Ho’s number one disciple, thanks to that, I have a good side to Tang Do-gyeong.”

There was some light gambling talk going on. What tricks did Yeongyangru use? What is popular in Tang family gambling these days? etc.

“If this continues, I’ll wake up only talking about gambling.”

The head of the family changed the topic.

“I have received your letter and proposal well. All financial resources are organized through Jeongcheol and Bimu… Do you understand what that means?”

“Of course. The party that currently holds the deepest grudge against Jeongcheol. It means to take revenge on Jeong-cheol instead.”

In some ways, my proposal could have been taken as an insult by the party.

After the Dangata incident, the Dang family gave me a non-cheon carriage and added the party corps to the party because I, a Sichuan ronin, could crush Jeong Cheol’s cause of seeking revenge as a Sacheon ronin.

The party was considerate of me taking the lead in order to crush the cause and avoid any regrets, but it was by no means giving up its grudge.

However, in such a situation, Jeong-cheol went into hiding, spreading false information that he was addicted.

Although there was no direct mention, anyone would have thought that the party was behind this, so it was a huge insult to the party.

But in such a situation, would I step forward and organize all of Jeong Cheol’s financial resources, including the party’s financial resources?

It was a sensitive story that the party might perceive as me ignoring the party.

“Yes.”

There was not a trace of laughter on the face of the head of the family, Dang Gwang-ryeol, as he discussed family affairs. The goodwill toward me that had been in his eyes completely disappeared, leaving only a light of understanding as he observed the situation.

“Separate from you, we have our own grudge against Jeongcheol. They even spread false rumors that they made Dangata and poisoned it using cowardly means.”

“That’s right.”

“Because of that, there was a heated argument in the family. Is it okay for me to entrust the treatment of Jeongcheol’s child to you, even if I take revenge directly? In fact, the very fact that Jeong Cheol made this suggestion was proof that he did not care about the party line, so many people were angry.”

It was definitely worth it.

To the Tang family, Jeong Cheol is like an enemy of Bubuldaecheon. How outrageous must it be for the party to see Jeong-cheol liquidating his silver money just for me.

“That’s why I definitely want to ask.”

Sssss.

The head of the family performed a miracle. The sudden movement of the inner energy caught the attention of not only the companions but also other members of the party, but the head of the house did not care at all and opened her mouth.

“This is what you really think.”

The matriarch took out a letter from her bosom.

[I, Jeongcheol, a Sacheonnang, inform the martial arts and Noegeomnangin.]

It was a challenge and a statement from Jeong Cheol.

[I couldn’t help but feel sad when I heard about Noegeomnangin’s actions while he was bedridden. It is true that Noegeomnangin’s actions contributed to the entire martial arts world, but in essence, he was nothing more than a stooge for Sichuan hypocrites. The very fact that such a person is praised as a hero is the result of damaging the spirit of this martial arts group, Jeongcheol Lee. Even though he is bedridden, he wants to set the martial arts spirit straight by burning his body.]

[This is Jeong Cheol, a Sacheon nang. Ask the Noegeomnangin for a secret dance. In the event of defeat, I, Jeongcheol, will take off my black lip, lay down everything I have accumulated as a Sichuan Rongin, and disappear. If you are defeated, you, as a brain swordsman, will also have to put down all your reputation along with Heukrip and return to being a wild man.]

[He is a person who has become the head of a huge power without knowing the true meaning of Heukrip, but I believe that if he has the minimum spirit as a warrior, he will accept this role.]

Although I had already heard it without a single mistake through Heukmyo, it was my first time seeing the original text of the statement like this.

“He has the thickest face in the world.”

“I should have turned it into a handful of eagles that day…”

The Dang family members looked angry, as if they had once again remembered the contents of the proclamation.

Only Danggaju looked at me with cool eyes and asked.

“Will he really keep his promise even if he loses? Do you believe that someone who doesn’t hesitate to fabricate things for his own gain will just leave the martial arts group in case of defeat?”

I looked at the party members present. Dear Lord. Lord Poongyeong. A poisonous old man. Even the Dandogyeong.

What was in those eyes was disbelief.

Distrust in Jeongcheol.

The eyes are confident that this fight itself is either Jeong Cheol’s masterpiece or that he will not keep his promise even if he loses in the fight.

If they said they would retire Jeong Cheol after winning the competition, they would come out and kill Jeong Cheol themselves.

That’s why I smiled bitterly and opened my mouth.

“After winning against Jeongcheol…”

Everyone, including the head of the party, opened their eyes wide at the words that followed.

“I plan to take my life.”

*** ***

The rumor about Jeong Cheol’s proclamation spread like wildfire throughout the world, and as a result, the eyes of all warriors flocked to Sacheon.

The major literary factions of Sichuan were summoned to the Tang Dynasty.

The world’s people were able to receive the conclusions reached by the Sichuan sects in a formal letter.

[Noegeomnangin says.]

[Jeong Cheol, who organized the Apostolic League and instigated the apostolic faction, causing a lot of chaos in Sacheon. Also, he is trying to create confusion in the martial arts world by using his cunning tongue, so I can’t just sit by and watch.]

[However, the resentment accumulated against Jeongcheol was not just mine, so I am writing this statement after seeking the understanding of the Sichuan clans.]

[I, Noegeomnangin, will not avoid a confrontation with Jeongcheol, so any place in Sacheon is fine. Please set a location and date through a formal statement.]

[As you wrote in your statement, I hope you show at least a minimum of spirit as a military officer.]

Bimu’s acceptance!

Not long after the news was announced, Jeong Cheol’s reply came up immediately.

[The off-duty date is Monday. The location for the dance is Seongneung County in Cheonghae. There is a ruined sect’s ruins in Seongneung-hyeon, so we will use the unarmed weapons there.]

[I would like to have people who are not related to me or Noegeomnang-in as witnesses to the secretariat, so I would like to proceed as an open secretariat.]

[However, since I will appear alone and unarmed, I will not allow those related to the Great Moon Sect of Sichuan and Noegeomnangin to approach the site.]

The confrontation is a success!

A specific date and location were set, and among those who heard the news, those who wanted to see the clash between Noegeomnangin and Jeongcheol hurriedly set out on their trip.

When the entire martial arts world is excited by the news of the battle between Noegeomnangin and Nangyageom Jeongcheol.

In one cave, a blood man was prostrate and reporting.

“So you’re saying that the author named Noegeomnangin is interfering with the work of our school and causing trouble in the martial arts world?”

“Yes. Dear Blood!”

The blood man lowered his head and asked.

“A person who dared to interfere with the great cause of our school. Do you want to process it?”

There was no answer to the blood man’s question for a while.

Hyeoljon clicked his tongue as he remembered the Book of Iron Blood, the whereabouts of which had become ambiguous.

‘He was a very useless guy.’

Although he had the talent to grow bigger and smaller, he had to use up his accumulated energy every time he did so. It may be an advantageous talent for survival, but it is a useless talent in combat. He was gentle on such subjects and lacked fighting skills.

The only useful thing about it was that it had high intelligence.

Since it was useless in battle, it was used in experiments to create spiritual creatures. And the results of the experiment were not satisfactory.

So it wasn’t such a shame that the Book of Iron Blood disappeared.

Is there a need to retrieve this guy, who already has poor combat power, as he would have been weakened even further through the experiment?

However, even in a book of iron blood, a spiritual object is a spiritual object.

The poor performance of the Great Law that was tested by investing such spiritual objects frowned on the Blood Lord.

‘I heard a rumor that Dafa was eventually implemented. Nevertheless, he was only subdued by the Brain Sword Man.’

Noegeomnangin’s external status is at its peak. Although Noegeomnangin’s colleagues are famous among the later exponents, they were all at their peak in the end.

Even though the transformation was successful, it was at a level where it could not even be called a spirit creature if it was hunted by transcendental masters who could not even use the method properly.

That’s what I was assuming.

Nowadays, when the news of the affair between Noegeomnangin and Jeongcheol was heard, Hyeoljon’s judgment was also shaken.

‘A person called Noegeomnangin. Rumor has it that even though it hasn’t been long since he reached the peak, he is engaged in a dance with Jeong Cheol, a painter.’

Maybe he was an expert in flower techniques, but he was hiding his skills.

If so, shouldn’t the value of Dafa also be measured anew?

“Watching the dance with Jeongcheol.”

“Yes!”

“First, let’s investigate in detail what happened in Shaanxi Bunta. Prioritize collecting information about Dafa rather than the Book of Iron Blood.”

“Honorable name!”

After giving the command, Hyeolzon soon lost interest. A confrontation between Noegeomnangin and Jeongcheol. And things about the Book of Red Blood and Dafa were just things that would interest the Blood Zone for a moment.

Grrr…

A roar so heavy that it was hard to believe it was the sound of an animal echoed through the cave.

In the cave, there was a huge saber-toothed tiger with its entire body covered in blood and its limbs writhing.

“Quukkeut…!”

Hyeoljon burst into laughter looking at the saber-toothed tiger.

Red blood certificate? There were a lot of spirits that could prey on a guy like that. Considering the future, they were researching ways to turn people into spirits, but it wasn’t something to worry about.

Because the world was wide and there were many spirits.

“Soon, this world of blood will arrive. Until then, enjoy the peace while watching the battle between the ronin. Kkkk…!”

Mo-wol-mo-il, where blood-zone’s laughter echoes in the cave.

People gathered like clouds in the closed door sect in Seongreung County, waiting for the showdown between Jeong Cheol and Ho Cheon-an.
