Episode 685: Where on Earth is the Sea?

The first old man on the left is the head of the Gok family (曲家), and his name is Gok Seung-pung (曲乘風). The Gok family is in charge of the most powerful branch of the nine branches, the most powerful branch of the nine branches. The most powerful branch is the one where the second-ranked Cheonhaengja Akcheonsan is located.

The second is an old man with a long beard of three strands, the head of the Su clan, Su-un-chong. Although all four of them are old, if you were to pick the one who is a little more handsome, it would be Su-un-chong.

Su Mu-heun was sitting behind Su-un-chong. However, he had his eyes closed and his face was expressionless. He looked very indifferent compared to the people who were talking nonstop around him.

The most powerful branch of the Su family is the Jeo branch. The Su family’s greatest genius, Su Gwan-ji, was the Jeo branch. Rather than saying that Su Gwan-ji was someone who was raised by the Jeo branch, it would be more accurate to say that he was the master of the Su family. The Su family put his name on it to save face for the Jeo branch.

Next to Suun-chong sat the head of the Wang family with a somewhat gloomy expression. In the Wang family, he was in charge of the Jeibunwon where Jongmuyeom was located.

The old man sitting in the last seat was bald, and unlike the other bald people, his hair was shinier, and even though it was broad daylight, when viewed from a distance, it was as if there were two suns in the sky, making it difficult to even look up.

This bald old man is none other than the nemesis of the Su family, the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Tianyi. Although everyone knew that the Zhou family and the Su family were not on good terms, the four heads of the family were comfortable laughing and talking together.

“Brother Yun-chong, congratulations. You must be happy that not only the second-ranked heavenly traveler Su-gwan-ji, but also Yong-jin has returned to the Su family.”

Joo Cheon-ui said with a smile.

“Haha, isn’t that the ancestor’s regret for the death of a genius? I appreciate the concern of the Heavenly Brothers.”

Suun-chong smiled brightly and said. He knew that Ju-cheon-i had a lot of intention behind what he said.

As expected, Joo Cheon-ui immediately opened his mouth.

“How strange. How did Yongjin survive the punishment from heaven? The five strong men of the Apostle’s Discipline and the eight Heavenly Travelers all died. None of them returned, but Yongjin alone came back alive. It’s truly unbelievable.”

When Jucheon asked about Yongjin out of curiosity, the other two heads of the household who were listening from the side were also surprised. The events of the Hyeoncheon Yeongji were not a secret within the Hyeoncheon Dojong.

Although the whole thing was led by the Hwa family of Dantop, the Ju family was also involved. Because there was solid evidence, Yu Yeong-ok, the Ju family could not make any excuses. In the end, this incident drew the wrath of the Vice-Chairman, and the Ju family had to go through many twists and turns.

Zhu Qing had to step forward and become a sacrificial lamb, and only after paying a huge amount of resources to Su Mu Xun could the anger of the vice-chief lord subside. The compensation was all done, people died, and all the face was lost, but Yong Jin suddenly came back to life. Zhu Qian felt uncomfortable and unpleasant, as if he had swallowed dog shit.

He even suspected that Su Mu-heun had deliberately hidden the fact that Yong Jin was not dead in order to trap the Ju family.

“Haha, Brother Cheon knows the Apostles very well. He even knows how many opponents there were and what their ranks were, haha……”

Suun-chong said with a smile.

“Un-chong, some words should not be spoken lightly.”

Jucheon said with a darkened expression. He was clearly pointing out that Suun-chong had colluded with the apostles. This was a great sin worthy of destruction.

The reason why the vice-minister was furious was because the apostles were also involved in the incident of framing Yongjin. The nature of the internal affairs changed as they got involved. If the Hwa family had not been involved, the Ju family would have had no choice but to take responsibility until the end.

“Hahaha, you’re too sensitive. I thought Brother Cheon was a professional at collecting data. Anyway, thank you for your hard work.”

Suun-chong said with a smile.

However, anyone who was present at the scene with ears would have noticed that Suun-jong was deliberately mocking Jucheon-i, who was in collusion with the apostles. Although the Hwa clan of Dan-tap was sacrificed in the middle, the stain could not be washed away.

Zhou Tian was angry, but everyone on the scene was an old fox, so they didn’t get angry and just stayed still. If he got angry now, he would lose momentum. Besides, he was used to this kind of argument.

“Haha, I definitely investigated it after the fact. In any case, this was the fault of the Zhou family. A disloyal disciple foolishly fell for their trick and framed his fellow disciple. As the head of the family, I also have a responsibility, so I must investigate the course of events and prove Yongjin’s innocence. Otherwise, how can I face my disciples?”

Joo Cheon-ui sighed with an expression that showed he could not hide his embarrassment.

Unfortunately, Yongjin was too far away at that time to hear what Jucheon said. If Yongjin had heard this, he would have asked how he could be so shameless.

But this was nothing to him. He could do shameless things, let alone say something worthless.

A sneer flowed from the corner of Su Mu-heun’s mouth, who had her eyes closed. She had no desire to talk to or fight with the hypocritical people wearing masks.

The reason she closed her eyes was because she was afraid that if she saw the faces of those who spoke unscrupulously, she would be unable to bear it and would vomit.

“Cheon-yi, you are truly noble, a role model for our generation.”

Suun-chong sent a compliment that felt somewhat mocking.

“What about dignity? That’s too much praise. But I think everyone should know the truth. What do you think, Su Jang-won?”

Joo Cheon-ui spoke to Su Mu-heun.

The tip of Jucheon’s sword was pointed at Su Mu-heun. Su-un-chong frowned slightly, but he was still angry at Su Mu-heun for not obeying his superiors, so he did not say anything.

According to the generation, Su Mu-heun should have called him uncle. However, this time, because of Yong-jin’s incident, Su Mu-heun talked back to her uncle and caused him to lose face. Furthermore, she did not even consider him when it came to handling the compensation.

The famous Zhou family also deliberately sent compensation directly to Su Mu-heun, causing internal strife in the Su family. The current state of the Su family is exactly what Zhou Tianyi wanted to see.

He paid generous compensation for Yongjin’s death, causing Su Mu-heun and the Su family to be at odds. This was a very clever move, but with Yongjin’s appearance, he felt as if he had been fooled. He thought he had fallen into the Su family’s trap. He even suspected that the Su family’s discord was deliberately designed to show him.

“What?”

Su Mu-heun slowly opened her eyes and spoke calmly.

But I didn’t look at Jucheon-ui. I didn’t want to see his shiny, dazzling bald head. It was so greasy that just looking at it made me feel sick.

“Well, of course it’s the truth about Yongjin. They say he narrowly escaped death, but I wonder how he came back alive alone. Chief Sujangwon, you explain it well.”

Joo Cheon-ui said with a slight smile.

But there was poison in his words. Especially when he asked me to explain something in a cool way, his arrogant tone clearly sounded like he was telling me to come up with a good lie.

However, his speech was so gentle and kind that if someone who didn’t know heard him, they would have thought it was a normal conversation. Hiding a knife in his words and provoking the other person to reveal their weaknesses was one of the qualities that a head of a household must possess.

“Yongjin said that when the punishment came down, the ground split open. He jumped into it, but the ground came back together again, so he couldn’t get out. Fortunately, he was underground and avoided the punishment, but he had to dig for months before he could get out. He almost couldn’t take the exam.”

Su Moo-heun said calmly. In fact, it was all made up, but she kept talking nonsense without blinking an eye. Perhaps because she had spent so much time with Yong-jin, she felt that even her personality had changed.

“How many months have you been digging?”

People didn’t believe anyone.

“Yes, he dug for months, but no matter how hard he dug, he couldn’t see the sky. So he started digging in the opposite direction and only then did he see the sky.”

Sumuhun said.

“Nonsense!”

Joo Cheon-ui said angrily.

This was clearly a joke. It wasn’t like they were telling people to distinguish between east, west, south, and north. How could even a fool mistake up and down?

“I told you that I wanted to know the truth, so you’re telling me nonsense. I explained it to you in detail and in a great way, just as you wanted. If you really don’t believe me, go find Yongjin and ask him. He’ll give you a satisfactory answer.”

A smile appeared on Sumuhun’s face.

With Yongjin’s personality, just one word would make them mad and die. Even Soo-mu-heun wanted to call Yongjin right here and there and ask him.

Just then, someone suddenly appeared out of thin air. People fell silent, jumped up, and bowed to greet them.

“Greetings to your Majesty the Vice-Lord.”

The person who arrived was none other than the Vice-Minister of Finance, and as soon as he arrived, the noisy square became quiet.

Bujongju glanced at the people with his eyes and then opened his mouth.

“The time has come. The martial arts test of the Hyeoncheon Dojong will begin now. Before we begin, I have something to announce. The Hyeoncheon Dojong’s trial ground is a great opportunity. Therefore, you must cherish this opportunity!”

Yongjin’s heart trembled for a moment. Su Mu-heun had once emphasized to him that this test itself was a great blessing for the Hyeoncheon Dojong. However, she had never tried to say what it was specifically.

As soon as Bujongju finished speaking, he slowly formed a mantra with both hands. Then, the air suddenly shook violently, and the hundreds of giant stone pillars surrounding the square lit up with numerous sectors, and the surrounding scenery changed at once.

“This… was a transmission?”

To my surprise, the entire square was a giant sphere.

Yongjin noticed that the sky had turned completely white. As the scorching light disappeared, they appeared at the edge of a large basin.

The basin was surprisingly large, measuring over a hundred thousand li in all directions. The ground was made entirely of smooth rock, polished to a shine like a giant slab of sand.

‘What are you trying to do? Are you trying to cook us or something?’

“This is the first trial, the Mysterious Heavenly Sea!”

The great lord who appeared out of thin air spoke.

“ocean?”

The disciples looked around with bewildered faces. Where on earth was the sea here?
