Episode 545: What on earth is their plan?
As he watched his son, Mukunsan began to feel strength in his hands. He could tell at a glance. There was a change in Mukyeon’s state of mind. This was a kind of transformation that would bring enormous benefits to Mukyeon.
He felt excited and embarrassed at the same time. He had been with his son for a long time, but he had only communicated with his fists and had never communicated like Yongjin. He regretted that if his methods had been just a little different, Mok-yeom would not have become such a stuffy person.
“Yongjin, don’t cause discord. You are destined to never leave Cheongju Castle alive.”
Wang Il-san resented Yong Jin. It was a secret he had kept hidden for a long time, but it was unexpectedly revealed by Yong Jin.
“Slander? I’m Yongjin. I told you that trash like you aren’t even worth slandering me.”
Yongjin spoke calmly, as if he didn’t even care about Wang Ilsan, who was half a victim. It wasn’t a show, it was real contempt that came straight from the bone.
Everyone was amazed by Yongjin’s spirit. Yongjin’s confidence was not due to external forces, but rather arrogance that came from within himself.
“That guy named Yongjin is funny.”
In a dark, invisible place, a woman looked at Yongjin with an excited expression.
“Sister, have you taken that person in mind? Let’s test whether that person is your legendary Ji-eum (a close friend with whom you can communicate well) or not.”
Another woman said with a grin.
“You’re talking nonsense again. How could you find the author so easily? I just felt a strange sense of unease from that Yongjin guy.”
The woman said.
“Well, I just thought he was handsome. I also felt a sense of challenge, thinking about how I could seduce such an arrogant man. Hehe.”
“I can see that you don’t want to practice since your heart is moved. If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll kick your ass. Shh! Stop talking now. People will find out if you keep doing this.”
Before we knew it, the streets were on the brink of war. On one side, the three major powers were at odds, while on the other side, Mukunsan, Yongjin, and Mukyeom were at odds.
Mukunsan looked at the three people in front of him and spoke annoyed.
“If you have something to say, say it. If you want to fight, come at me quickly. If not, get out of here quickly! I have to treat my son’s friend. I don’t have time to waste with you guys like this.”
Mukunsan was annoyed by the three people who only talked and did not move. However, Yongjin read something in their eyes.
“Huh! Mukunsan, don’t think you’re great just because you touched that barrier. You still have a long way to go to enter the Banbo Damage Realm.
This is Cheongju Castle. Considering the safety of the surrounding area, we will end here for today.
Your Muk clan has been cut off from the elixir, so your downfall is a natural process. So you’d better remain quiet. Otherwise, there will be serious consequences.”
The general spoke coldly.
“ha ha ha.”
Suddenly, Mukunsan burst into laughter, took out a large bow, and pulled the string toward Jangsu Son. A transparent arrow flew through the air.
Son Jang-su, who did not know that Mukunsan would attack, panicked and quickly struck down the arrow flying towards his chest.
puck!
The arrow was broken, but the swordsman flew away a dozen or so feet away.
“Stop talking nonsense and get at it.”
Mukunsan took a battle stance with a majestic appearance, holding a longbow.
“You… Okay. I’ll tell you that you won. We’ll see.”
Although Son Jang-su was furious, he ultimately chose to leave with Na Yeong-ung and Wang Il-san.
Mukunsan laughed as he watched the three people leaving, then began to speak loudly to Mukyeom.
“As a man of the Mok family, you must fight, not just talk.
“Talking is not our strong suit. Our strong suit is killing. You have to know how to use your strengths. That’s how you can solve problems neatly and efficiently.”
In the meantime, Mukunsan had said similar things many times, but Mukyeon had not listened to him. However, perhaps because his mood had changed today, the meaning had finally sunk into his heart.
“Okay, Father.”
Mukyeon nodded.
“Haha, okay. Then let’s go back to the Muk family house to drink.”
Mukunsan returned to the Muk family with Yongjin and Mukyeom. Yongjin and Mukyeom invited the Mokseol mercenary group members, but they politely declined.
Since mercenaries were people who enjoyed freedom, they judged that it would be awkward if they went to the Muk family.
Yongjin did not press any further and left a greeting for Mokseol. After telling her to come to the Mok family to look for him whenever she needed, Yongjin left with Mokyeon.
As Yongjin and his party left, the onlookers began to disperse. Suspicion flashed through Muk-ui’s eyes as he looked at the streets that were almost in ruins.
“You’re saying it’s not yet time? To retreat? Haha, how funny!”
The smiling Muk-yi suddenly sensed a strong presence and turned his head to look into the empty space. The opponent must have sensed him as well, as his movements stopped. After looking into the empty space for a moment, Muk-yi left the place.
“Are they all gone? I thought there’d be a cool fight, but it’s not fun.”
Two women wearing hats and wrapped tightly in long robes emerged from a dark place.
“Let’s go back now. It’s going to get dark soon. If we stay any later, we’ll get scolded by the lord.”
The two women, shrouded in mystery, left as soon as they finished speaking. In the street where everyone had disappeared, only the fallen bricks remained as proof of the conflict that had occurred.
The Muk clan, located to the north of Cheongju Castle, was built on a stone mountain, and looked like an old stone castle.
Inside the stone castle’s main hall, which exuded an old atmosphere, all the key powerful figures of the Muk clan were gathered.
In this place where the only outsider was Yongjin, Yongjin was finally able to meet the current head of the Muk family.
Yongjin felt a great sense of oppression because of the tall old man standing opposite him like a mountain. He was like a giant volcano that would destroy the whole world if it erupted once.
Yongjin, standing in front of Muk-yi, felt as if he had become insignificant, like an ant. The energy flowing through Muk-yi’s body was scarier than that of Su-mu-heun.
“You all did very well today. Thanks to you, the Mok family has saved face.”
Muk-ui said while looking at Yong-jin and Muk-yeom.
“You are too kind.”
Yongjin spoke urgently, seeming embarrassed.
Muk-yeom, who had originally been standing next to Yong-jin, trembled slightly when Muk-ui arrived and unconsciously took a step back.
“Hey kid, why are you backing down?”
As Mokyeon stepped back, Mok-ui frowned, opened his eyes wide, and shouted.
Muk-yi was so big and had such a strong presence that even Yong-jin was startled when he just opened his eyes wide. Muk-yi’s expression changed immediately, completely different from the gentle and kind appearance he had shown just a moment ago.
The powerful members of the Muk clan who were present were also puzzled. Muk was so blunt that he rarely spoke kindly to anyone, even to his own family.
Although Muk Daein praised Muk Yeom and Yong Jin unusually, he soon became angry when he saw Muk Yeom bowing down.
“I… I did that because I was afraid I’d get hit. Since I can’t win anyway, can’t I back down?”
The silent prayer said.
“Does that mean you’d hit me if you could beat me?”
Muk-ui said with a dark expression.
Mokyum spoke in a loud voice, perhaps more bold than usual today because Yongjin was by his side.
“There is a saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, even if it takes ten years. We all remember how many times my grandfather beat me. I am sure that one day I will get my revenge.”
When Mok-yeom said this, the whole hall became quiet for a moment, and everyone looked at Mok-yeom with puzzled faces.
“ha ha ha.”
Muk-ui laughed loudly and then suddenly walked towards Muk-yeom. Muk-yeom covered his head reflexively.
puck!
Muk-ui unexpectedly slapped Muk-yeom on the shoulder instead of the cheek, and made a praising expression.
“Fine! If you have the spirit to do that, I’ll wait ten years. I’ll see how you treat me then.”
Mokyeon was dazed for a moment. Since he became wise, Mokyeon had rarely spoken so kindly.
“Let’s eat quickly instead of just sitting there blankly. Since Yeom-i’s friend is here today, we should have a grand welcoming party.”
Muk-ui said with a smile.
Silence felt so good that I laughed more today than I had in the past ten years.
Yongjin was a little surprised to suddenly discover that everyone here was the core powerhouse of the Mok clan. The three hundred or so powerhouses were all Seoncheonkyung.
As expected of the Cheongju lords, they boasted overwhelming power. However, even though Mokyum was a small-time lord, he somehow seemed to have no status.
When I asked Mok-yeom out of curiosity, he said that all the people here were older than him. He also explained that he was given the right to eat with them because of his status as a local lord.
The Mok family placed great importance on ability and seniority. Therefore, if someone tried to show off in front of them by claiming to be a Somunju, they would immediately throw a punch. Just thinking about this made Mokyeon angry.
The heads of other families didn’t act like this, but Mokyum was always frustrated because he couldn’t show off in front of his subordinates.
The old man always said that a so-called master was just a title, and that only by ability could one make people obey.
However, since everyone here was innately strong, Mokyeon couldn’t show off his energy. Furthermore, because he had been beaten so terribly by Mok Daein, Mokyeon’s body trembled every time he met Mok-yi.
“Father, what on earth are those three guys up to? It’s strange that they caused such a commotion and didn’t fight back.”
As the meal was being finished, Mukunsan opened his mouth.
Muk-ui said with a smile.
“They probably originally wanted to investigate our Muk clan in order to make a big move soon. However, Yongjin’s appearance ruined all their plans. Nayoung-ung lost his beloved son and hurriedly searched for Yongjin, while the other two clans came unprepared as soon as they heard the news.
But that doesn’t mean they backed down. There must have been someone behind them who ordered them to withdraw.”
“Father, do you know who is targeting us?”
Mukunsan asked.
“There are quite a few people who hold a grudge against our Mo clan’s ancestors. When our Mo clan withdrew from the ancient clan alliance, we were hated by many people. Tens of thousands of years have passed since then, and until now, our Mo clan has always acted quietly, making other forces think that our Mo clan has fallen. Haha, it’s funny. Although I haven’t seen that person, I can feel his aura. You don’t have to worry. He will absolutely not attack. This is just a petty speculation. Just remember this one thing. Even if the sky falls, do whatever you want without fear. I will take care of the rest.”
Muk-ui spoke in a low voice, a voice full of ambition.
