“The distribution is way too high, and at the same time, the head of the sect treated you with courtesy, so why are you sticking your tongue out like that! I will punish you for your rudeness today!”

After exchanging a sum of money with Noegeomnangin, Elder Lee Cheok-wi chose to go first in a confident tone.

Seeing such pretense, the disciples, including the master of the clan, Deung Sa-pyeong, kindled a flame of hope.

In particular, Deung Sa-pyeong, whose son was involved in a major accident, hoped more earnestly than anyone else that Cheok Wi would subdue Noegeomnangin.

It is already known to everyone that ever since the trend of throwing black lips at Dongdongho began, people have always been jealous of Noegeomnangin and made baseless slander. No matter how strong of an influence Cheon Ho-mun exerts in Yuyang, it is impossible to put a gag on the mouths of all those who saw and heard such Deungbo-wi’s actions.

So there was only one way to solve the current situation.

Rumors must be covered up with rumors.

All it takes is for a much more provocative rumor to spread than the rumor that Noe Jong-nang-in invaded Cheonho Gate because of Teng Bowi’s foolish actions.

The shocking defeat of the martial arts hero, Noegeomnangin!

If Cheokwi can win against Noegeomnangin, the current situation can be overcome!

Is it just that?

If Cheok-wi were to win against the real Thunder Blade, Cheon Ho-mun’s reputation would resound throughout the world, so it might be an opportunity for Cheon Ho-mun to take a big leap forward.

Munju Deung Sapyeong of Cheonhomun Gate operated the happiness circuit to its limit.

Rumbling!!

As Ho Cheon-an began to properly increase the power of his brain ring, Deungsapyeong sensed that something was going wrong.

A sign of great power that makes not only the air but also the floor rumble.

At the same time, a thunder light rises from the great sword being lifted. A brilliance so brilliant that it cannot even be compared to the intermittently sparkling sword of Cheokwi.

It was truly an overwhelming difference in power.

Cheokwi, who was amazed at the momentum of Hocheonan, hurriedly tried to increase his strength.

Wow!!

In the face of Ho Cheon-an’s force as he thrust his sword with thunderous force, it was merely a feeble resistance.

Those who reached the point where they could read the flow of the Ilseom in Hocheonan felt it clearly.

The total amount of internal energy is different.

Although he is much younger than Cheokwi, Ho Cheonan’s energy crushes Cheokwi’s spirit and strength.

The level of skill with which that power is poured is different.

Compared to Ho Cheon-an, who poured all of his power into a single strike without wasting even though he was a second strike, how much of his power did Cheok Wi, who attacked first, pour into this single strike?

The highest level of those in the hall of Heavenly Gate was only at its peak, so no one could know exactly how much of the power Chewi had poured into it.

However, there was one thing that those who could feel the conflict between the two knew for sure.

The problem was that it could never withstand the lightning strike of Hocheonan.

The noe-gang wrapped around the still nameless great sword of Ho Tian-an, made by Tang Xiao-yeol, tears apart the strong qi wrapped around Chu Wei’s sword at once.

At the same time, Chewie’s sword, which was not protected by Gangi, was shattered. Cheokwi’s body, unable to withstand the shock, floated in the air.

The brain power that penetrated through Hocheonan’s great sword traveled through Cheokwi’s arms and stirred the inside, and with the explosion of the thunder ring, the shooting force hit Cheokwi’s whole body.

“Lee, Elder Lee!”

The elders held Elder Lee’s body in awe, and Teng Si-pyeong looked at the scene blankly.

What on earth is going on?

Wasn’t it true that just a moment ago, he was confident of victory and was confident in his actions? But what if you can’t even exchange a single move properly and lose?

How can this be?

Deung Sa-pyeong’s gaze landed on the elder who received Elder Lee. After examining Elder Lee’s details, the elder shook his head slightly. The brain energy must have infiltrated my entire body, and I felt a tingling brain power just by touching my body, so it seemed difficult to shake off this in a short period of time.

thud!

The sound of a heavy blow brought Deungsapyeong’s attention back.

Unlike Cheok-wi, who couldn’t tell when he would wake up, it was the sound made by Noegeumnangin, who was not even a hair injured, letting the blade of his greatsword hang down on the floor.

“What do you want to do now?”

Conflict appeared on Deung Si-pyeong’s face at Ho Cheon-an’s urging. Will Hocheonan be captured through joint efforts? Or will we just surrender?

If he surrenders like this, his son Teng Bowi will suffer a great blow.

He had brought disaster on the clan by using his mouth carelessly and acting out on the outside, so it was not something that would end with a simple punishment like usual.

It was a big problem that might require him to relinquish his position as Somunju, so he couldn’t choose to surrender hastily.

But does that mean they are doing joint work?

This too had several problems.

Let’s say you subdue Noegeomnangin through joint attack.

Even if the Noegeomnangin was subdued, the crisis at Cheonhomun was not the end, but the beginning.

Now that the situation has become this turbulent, it will be impossible to stop the rumors from spreading.

Deung Bowi slandered Noegeomnangin, and Noegeomnangin, enraged by the slander, attacked Cheonhomun Gate. But what about Cheonhomun Gate? Rather than offering an apology, the rumor will spread that he defeated Noegeomnangin through the cowardly means of joining forces, and that rumor will serve as a powerful justification for other sects to attack Cheonhomun without hesitation.

In other words, even if Cheon Ho-mun defeats Ho Cheon-an, he will have to face attacks from numerous sects.

If the elites of the sect suffer great damage in the process of capturing Hocheonan, they may be pushed out of power and go down the path of extinction.

Deung Sapyeong’s eyes were filled with determination as he rolled his head.

If he simply surrenders, his son Deung Sa-pyeong will suffer great damage, and if he leads elites with strong influence and joins forces, the pillars of the sect will be shaken.

so.

Let’s make a plan so that the ordinary disciples will attack the Noegeomnangin first!

“First of all, I would like to apologize for Elder Lee’s arbitrary actions. He was a warrior with a passionate heart for his clan, so I hope you understand the situation.”

Deung Sa-pyeong, who bowed his waist while making a sweeping gesture, thought to himself. On the surface, it seemed like a polite apology, but is it really true from the Noegeomnangin’s perspective?

Anyone can see that this is a situation where Deung Sa-pyeong deliberately neglected Cheok-wi’s actions. In such a situation, it was a mimeograph that shamelessly cut off the tail, so of course I would feel jealous.

As expected, Ho Cheon-an’s eyebrows twitched greatly.

However, contrary to Deung Sa-pyeong’s expectations, Ho Cheon-an did not show much of a reaction. He simply returned the great sword that had hit the floor to his shoulder.

“In addition, Cheon Ho-mun considers and respects Dae-hyeop, the novice swordsman, as a hero of the martial arts world. Think about it. Nowadays, it is popular among tourists in Agyang to show their admiration for Noegeomnangin by throwing black lips at Dongdong Lake. If you really had bad feelings at Cheonhomun Gate, how could you have just watched tourists behave like that?”

The warriors of the clan nodded in agreement.

Deung Sa-pyeong, who checked the appearance, nodded to himself.

In the end, the arms bend inwards. From the point of view of literary members of the literary faction, it was easier to sympathize with the complaint of injustice by a long-time writer than with an outsider who had suffered an outrageous insult.

“Honey, I hope you can calm your excitement and analyze the situation with a calm mind.”

A crooked smile appeared on Ho Cheon-an’s lips. Anyone could see that he was very upset, so Deung Sa-pyeong thought that he was gradually being led to do exactly what he intended.

“So, you’re saying that Cheonhomun has no responsibility?”

“That is not true. How can you, as the head of Tianhoumen, say that Tianhoumen is not at fault? It is Cheon Ho-mun’s fault that So So-moon did not behave properly. So, I will definitely correct Somoonju’s behavior.”

Teng Si-pyeong intentionally made a pun to inflame Hu Tian-an’s anger. He is already angry to the core and has come to Cheonhomun Gate with all his might. I’m already in a situation where my head is bleeding, so hearing things like this will definitely make me angry.

An excited partner always shows a loophole. Teng Si-pyeong believed this and decided to lead Hu Tian-an to a mistake, but his heart soon froze as he heard Hu Tian-an’s next words.

“Good. I will accept the will of my lord.”

This was because Ho Cheon-an accepted a proposal that he could never accept.

*** ***

Noegeomnangin defeated Cheonhomun’s pretender!

Is this rumor really topical?

Well, it should have the effect of quelling the bubble theory, but in fact, it is not very surprising news. To put it bluntly, an incident in which a famous martial arts expert in the entire martial arts world just defeats a local local martial arts expert is something that could easily happen.

Therefore, the fact that I defeated Elder Cheukwi cannot be said to have properly demonstrated my power.

However, it is not possible to sharply attack innocent disciples just because you want to make a name for yourself. I was racking my brain trying to figure out how to solve this problem, but I was wondering if Deung Sa-pyeong, the owner of the house, was going to lay the boards on his own.

I thought he would have come to his senses after looking down on him as a young guy with no home and no property, and then losing his maximum power in one blow, but it seems he hasn’t come to his senses yet.

This is because they play with words, believing that if they play with their tongue well, they can gain the upper hand.

Did he really think I would get scratched by such low-level wordplay?

This is a bit scratchy.

So, with half disgust and half joy, I decided to use the plate provided by the mimeographer.

“The will of Moonju to correct Somoonju’s behavior is so strong, so I’ll give it a try. So, if I receive an apology from Somoon-ju here, I will let this matter go.”

The members of Cheonhomun Gate looked surprised at my words. In fact, my offer could not have been more generous.

However, after hearing what I said, the copywriter looked perplexed.

Would that bastard Deung Bowie apologize to me right here and now? Of course, the probability of that happening is very low. If he had that sense, he wouldn’t have let things get to this point in the first place.

Despite the situation, if Teng Bao-yu does not show any signs of reflection, Teng Si-pyeong’s argument quickly loses its force. So, from the mimeographer’s perspective, he couldn’t have accepted my suggestion.

Deung Si-pyeong looked at the members of the clan in hopes of somehow reversing the current situation, but the gaze of the members of the clan was already directed at Deng Bo-wi.

Our Master Moon seems to have thought that the members of the clan would unite in front of external enemies, but it seems he failed to be objective about his son.

If there was a conflict between the external Noegeomnangin and the clan he belonged to, of course he would choose the clan.

If it were a confrontation between Noegeomnangin, who made a generous offer, and Somunju, who was an embarrassment to the sect, it would not be strange to take my side.

Teng Bao-wi only rolled his eyes at the pouring gaze, and Teng Si-pyeong was forced into a situation where he could neither accept nor refuse.

The only variable that I could hope for was that the security guard himself came forward and asked for my forgiveness… but even if such a miraculous change occurred, nothing would actually change.

If Deung Bowie comes in front of me, all I have to do is provoke Deung Bowie without others noticing. Well, you don’t even need any great skills, just show them a look of disgust and they will immediately throw a fit.

Of course, there was no sudden awakening of Teng Bowi, so I put on an angry expression and pushed back on Teng Siping.

“Even though you said you would only hear an apology from the person concerned, are you hesitating? How many times will the lord of Cheonhomun Gate have to trample on my favor before he will be relieved?”

“That is a misunderstanding…!”

“Misunderstanding? A misunderstanding? How can there be a misunderstanding in this situation? I have shown you good intentions, but you are trying to deceive me with your tongue until the end!”

Even though the level of my remarks became stronger, the warriors at Cheonhomun Gate bowed their heads in shame rather than anger, so it was as if the situation was already over.

“No more words needed! Deung Si-pyeong, the gatekeeper of Cheonho Gate, draw your sword!”

What if I do it like this, including mimeographing, and adding only the number of experts that I can handle with my capabilities?

This is the completion of the provocative rumor that Noegeomnangin single-handedly defeated all of Cheonhomun’s main masters.

“I want to cut you down with a single sword, but I allow up to ten people to join forces!”

In the current situation, there was no option for Deung Sapyeong, so he had no choice but to rush to me with the nine elders.

Gurgling!!

I finished the work at Cheonhomun without allowing any surprises.

*** ***

Ho Cheon-an, who had headed towards Cheon Ho-mun Gate while dragging his back, returned.

“It was handled neatly. Please rest assured that Cheonhomun will not be able to do anything wrong to you or Soga Pomok Store in the future.”

Ho Cheon-an said that with a calm expression, but Son Mi-ok couldn’t shake off her worries. It was hard to believe that Ho Cheon-an had won against Cheon Ho-mun, but it was also unbelievable that they had cleaned it up so that no noise would arise later.

“Oh, indeed. Mom, are you okay?”

Son Mi-ok sighed as she looked at the black cat smiling carefree. Having trust in your spouse is a good thing, but seeing them blindly trusting you like this made me feel complicated.

“I also believe in Daehyup, a noble person. However, everyone can make mistakes, so you should check.”

“Well, sure.”

While Son Mi-ok was calming her nerves, the servant who had gone out to check on the situation returned.

“Okay, did you understand?”

“Yes! We have collected all the rumors without missing a single word!”

Son Mi-ok couldn’t come to her senses from the information being poured out by the very excited servant.

“Cheonhomun…Bongmun?”

“Yes. It was announced that he would be in prison for three months, and the signboard had also been taken down, so it is certain!”

Departing from the clan meant that they would not engage in any external activities, which was the same as giving up the enormous profits from this retreat for three months.

The size and membership of the Cheonhomun sect is so huge that it cannot be compared to other sects, so of course it requires enormous maintenance costs. If all income is cut off for three months while maintaining the current size, the finances of the sect will dry up.

This meant that even considering the expenditure, he had suffered such fatal injuries that he had to close the door of his clan and walk away.

“It is said that Noegeomnangin not only subdued Cheokwi, a Hwagyeong expert, with a single move, but he also single-handedly subdued the passing team consisting of ten elders including Munju!”

Son Mi-ok was truly impressed when she heard that she had defeated ten top-level experts single-handedly. How many people can Chojeongjeong gather to handle the fireworks master? This was one of the topics on which magistrates always debated, but it was generally accepted that three to five Chojeoljeong masters would be able to deal with a Hwagyeong master.

However, Ho Cheon-an won against as many as ten supreme masters, which was shocking news that would turn the entire martial arts world upside down.

“The martial arts skills of Daehyeop, the master of the brain, are completely different from those of criminals.”

And the black cat smiled bitterly as it looked at Son Mi-ok, who was truly admiring her.

It is true that Hocheonan is strong. However, in Heukmyo’s judgment, Ho Cheon-an was not a transcendent expert who could deal with ten transcendent experts.

Heukmyo mentally guessed the number that Ho Cheon-an used.

‘They probably focused on Munju’s photocopied copy.’

The level of Deung Sa-pyeong, the master of the Moon, was at the peak, but Heukmyo guessed that Deung Sa-pyeong’s skills were greatly lacking. It was quite possible since he had become the leader of a large sect for a long time.

Could such a deungsapyeong really withstand Hocheonan’s attack?

Since Deung Sa-pyeong was not one of the ten successful members but the head of Cheon Ho-mun, the elders would have had no choice but to protect him. Ho Cheon-an would have achieved victory by eliminating the stranded elders one by one.

Therefore, it could be said that Son Mi-ok’s idea that Ho Cheon-an had a strong martial ability that could overwhelm ten supreme masters was slightly different from the reality.

The black cat was about to explain that point, but closed his mouth.

It’s a little different from what others think, but in the end, he was able to defeat ten supreme experts with just one person, so isn’t this also Hocheonan’s ability?

Above all, Ho Cheon-an worked hard for himself. If you don’t take care of such a good plan, who will?

‘I’m sorry, Mom.’

So, instead of correcting Son Mi-ok’s misunderstanding, the black cat hugged Son Mi-ok and spoke brightly.

“How about it? You didn’t have to worry, right?”

“…Okay. I see.”

Mi-ok thought as she stroked the head of the pampered black cat she was hugging.

Her daughter came back to her, believing in the power of Hocheonan, the brain sword. I was very happy to see my daughter like that, but a part of me was worried that my daughter’s decision might have been too hasty.

But those worries were unfounded.

Ho Cheon-an’s power, which she thought might have been a bubble created by rumors, was much stronger than Son Mi-ok thought.

“Let’s hold a banquet.”

So now Son Mi-ok shook off her worries and strengthened her resolve.

“A banquet to announce your return.”

I said I would get back everything my daughter lost when she left Soga Clothing Store.

“I would like to have a meeting with Noegeomnangin and his companions tomorrow, can you tell me?”

Sensing his mother’s determination, the black cat responded vigorously.

“Of course!”
