Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 353



Only Noblemtl

353. The fragrance of fire (4)

The representatives of the ten generations of families in the reception room of the Sacheondang family wiggled their eyebrows at the laughter filled with inner strength.

The first one to react was, of course, Namgung Jangcheon.

Namgung Jangcheon narrowed his eyes and leapt out the window.

Whirlwind.

Namgung Jangcheon, who had gone down to the pavilion, slowly turned his head.

Then he heard laughter coming from the opposite direction he was looking at.

“Haha.”

As expected, it was a sound filled with inner strength.

The laughter immediately stopped.

It was as if he was trying to play tag with Namgung Jangcheon.

Namgung Jangcheon jumped straight from that spot towards the sound of laughter.

Papak!

The sound continued behind him.

Wave, wave.

The representatives of the teenage generations also all followed Namgung Jangcheon, who came down at some point.

“Haha.”

The laughter is heard again.

At the very back of them, Zhuge Liangmin slowly looked around and walked towards the sound of laughter.

It wasn’t just Zhuge Liangmin who followed Namgung Jangcheon from behind.

There was someone running next to Zhuge Liangmin with great tension, and that was Peng Daiwei.

Zhuge Liangmin, who was looking around, stopped walking quietly after confirming that Peng Daiwei was next to him.

widely.

When Zhuge Liangmin stopped walking, Peng Daiwei also stopped walking.

widely.

The two looked at each other blankly.

The one whose eyes were narrowed even more was Zhuge Liangmin.

A monster appears and lures the representatives of the teenage generation somewhere.

Representatives of the teenage generation run to catch him, unable to suppress their anger.

In Zhuge Liang’s judgment, everything was ominous.

He followed the Sega representatives quietly even in the midst of the ominous atmosphere.

It was because he was certain that the laughter of the monster he could hear from afar was connected to his older brother, Zhuge Liang, and the rest of his family.

But he didn’t just follow the laughter.

I was just picking out something that looked suspicious to a teenager right now.

But he couldn’t help but be surprised to see someone standing at the very back, just like him, observing the Sega representatives.

There was a brief silence between Zhuge Liang and Peng Daiwei, who had stopped walking.

Then a gust of wind blew.

Whew.

Even though it’s not autumn, fallen leaves separate the two.

Zhuge Liangmin, who suddenly came to his senses, asked first.

“Is there anything that is uncomfortable… …?”

“No. I plan to go slowly and observe the enemy.”

“The enemy… … .”

“They showed up without warning, so of course they’re enemies, right?”

Peng Dae-wi tilted his head.

Zhuge Liang smiled awkwardly at that sight.

“Oh, right. The enemy.”

He realized that what he was observing and what the Pangdaewi was observing were different.

At Zhuge Liangmin’s awkward expression, Peng Daiwei braced his shoulders and continued speaking.

“Now that the enemy has appeared, shouldn’t we be able to knock on the stone bridge while moving forward?”

Peng Dae-wi answered with a genuine smile. In fact, there was a reason for Peng Dae-wi’s behavior.

It was because of the messenger that had flown in secretly.

Hanbin’s request was written there.

He believed Hanbin’s words and put them into practice.

However, Zhuge Liang’s eyes narrowed even further.

Peng Dae-wi was a person who was evaluated as someone who pushed forward with brute force rather than with the head.

But why does he show such a brave appearance?

As a Zhuge Liang, I couldn’t understand it.

That was when.

Peng Dae-wi clapped his hands.

match!

Zhuge Liangmin was startled by the sound and took a step back.

“What are you doing now?”

“There was a message for me to deliver to the Zhuge family, but I just remembered it now.”

“What do you mean?”

“I forgot that Zhuge Liang was a member of the Zhuge family.”

After finishing speaking, Peng Dae-wi hurriedly searched through his pockets and took out a round bamboo tube.

Zhuge Liang was quite embarrassed by that sight.

“What is that?”

“This is a note from a close associate. He asked me to pass it on to someone in the Zhuge family… … .”

“The Zhuge family? Are you talking about our family?”

“Yes, come to think of it, isn’t General Zhuge Liang a member of the Zhuge family? Now that I’m passing this on to you, my heavy heart feels relieved.”

Peng Dae-wi spouted out his explanation as if he had a watermill attached to his mouth.

After finishing speaking, Peng Daewi smiled as if it was refreshing and handed me a bamboo tube thinner than my finger joints.

Zhuge Liang looked at the bamboo tube and the pagoda alternately.

I couldn’t understand the situation where Habukpangga handed me a note.

But first, confirmation came first.

Zhuge Liang quickly checked the note inside the bamboo tube.

Zhuge Liangmin’s eyes grew wider as he checked the note.

For a moment, Zhuge Liangmin’s wavering eyes found their place.

Zhuge Liangmin asked with a calm expression.

“Who on earth sent this note?”

“I’ll tell you about that later. He’s not the type of person who would do something bad.”

Peng Dae-wi scratched the back of his head and laughed.

Zhuge Liangmin looked at Peng Daiwei with a bewildered expression.

“What a bad thing. This man brought me the news I wanted.”

“Is this the news you wanted?”

“Have you by any chance opened the note?”

“You asked me to pass this on to the Zhuge family, so why should I open it?”

“Huh, as expected, you are the head of the law enforcement party of the Habuk Peng family. If you are so thorough, why don’t you try taking charge of the law enforcement party of the Justice Alliance?”

“Ugh, I don’t like it.”

Peng Dae-wi quickly waved his hand.

In fact, there was only one reason why I didn’t open this note.

It was because I didn’t want to get involved in any troublesome matters.

It was better to just pass on the note and think that Zhuge Liang and himself had nothing to do with each other.

Looking at the content that Hanbin had requested, it wasn’t easy to just take care of Habuk Pengga.

But is there a Justice League law enforcement agency there?

Just thinking about it made my spine tingle. It was understandable, since the Justice League’s executive branch had ten times more documents than the Habuk Pengga’s executive branch.

At that sight, Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.

I’ve been hearing a lot about Habukpengga’s reputation lately.

I thought it was possible because there was such a humble law enforcement officer on top of it.

But now was not the time to make a public statement.

Zhuge Liangmin pointed ahead and said.

“First, let’s follow the Namgung family and talk.”

After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liangmin glanced at the last sentence of the note.

There were familiar words written there.

[Battle of Red Cliffs.]

It was the achievement of Zhuge Liang, the ancestor of the Zhuge family.

But there was one more line written underneath.

[Please decide carefully which side you will be on.]

I didn’t understand what he was saying.

Zhuge Liangmin, who had been tilting his head, suddenly hardened his expression.

Zhuge Liang quickly shouted.

“I think we need to hurry up a bit!”

“All right.”

Peng Dae-wi nodded and also increased his speed.

They soon caught up with Namgung Jangcheon.

Zhuge Liangmin, who noticed Namgung Jangcheon and the representatives of the ten great families standing a hundred steps ahead, raised his hand for a moment.

Then he spoke in a small voice.

“Let’s go a little slower from here.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Peng Dae-wi nodded.

* * *

The place where Namgung Jangcheon and the representatives of the Daesinse family stopped was the back mountain surrounding Sacheondangga.

It was a huge, crescent-shaped mountain that surrounded the Sacheondangga estate.

Thanks to that, Sacheondangga had the nickname of the best fortress in Sacheon.

In fact, it was not wrong to say that Sacheondangga itself served as a strategic point when foreign powers invaded.

Behind the steep cliffs, laughter continued to echo.

“Haha.”

But Namgung Jangcheon and the representatives of Sega no longer chased that smile.

Because there was a steep cliff in front of them.

The cliff looked difficult to climb even for a master of landscape painting.

A dim shadow appeared from the top of the cliff.

Namgung Jangcheon and the representatives of Sega looked at the top of the cliff where the moonlight was softly shining.

For a moment the moonlight brightened slightly.

Thanks to the bright moonlight, everyone could see the shadow’s identity.

An unidentified monster was holding a gourd and looking down.

He carried the flask leisurely, his golden robe fluttering.

He took a sip of his drink and burst out laughing.

“Haha.”

Namgung Jangcheon asked at that voice.

“Which of the dead people called us here?”

Namgung Jangcheon’s voice was devoid of any emotion.

The man in the golden robe answered.

“Wow. As expected, Namgung’s guts are amazing. Haha.”

The teenage representatives’ eyebrows furrowed as he burst into laughter again.

At that time, Hwangbo Mancheong also took a step forward.

“Stop talking and just reveal your identity.”

As Hwangbo Man-cheong came forward, Namgung Jang-cheon raised his hand to stop him.

“Hwangbo Gaju, I’ll take care of this.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Hwangbo Mancheong also nodded.

There was only one enemy, and there were many representatives of Sega.

If everyone suddenly came out, it could easily have been self-inflicted.

The monster who was looking at them opened his mouth.

“If you have time, come up here. I’ll buy you a drink.”

“… … .”

“Well, if you stay still, I guess I’ll have to bow three times.”

The man took out a glass from somewhere and poured some liquor from the flask into it.

He made a motion to break the glass three times and then threw it down.

A transparent energy ripples around the glass bathed in moonlight.

Namgung Jangcheon narrowed his eyes at that sight.

This was a provocation to compete in martial arts.

Namgung Jangcheon jumped towards the flying glass.

It was when Namgung Jangcheon was about to grab his glass halfway up the cliff.

A huge object fell from above.

Namgung Jangcheon raised his head while holding the glass.

It was a large wooden barrel.

Namgung Jangcheon descending while holding the glass.

And the wooden barrel that fell on Namgung Jangcheon’s head.

The representatives of the teenage generation thought nothing of the wooden barrel.

I thought that Namgung Jangcheon could handle that on his own.

That was when.

A silver flash flashed from behind and a teenager cut through the representatives.

Shhh!

The silvery flash that passed through them struck the wooden barrel squarely.

Phew!

A silver flash changed the direction of the wooden barrel.

The wooden barrel moved away from Namgung Jangcheon and the representatives of the ten generations of Sega.

Before the barrel could even hit the ground, a flash of light hundreds of times stronger than the silver flash struck them.

Flash.

Then a loud noise rings out.

Kuaang!

The teenage representatives quickly took out their weapons.

That was when.

Laughter echoed again from the top of the cliff.

“Haha.”

Everyone, including Namgung Jangcheon, looked in that direction.

There, a man in a yellow robe shouted nonchalantly.

“I should have cut my hair and gone so that the next move would have been easier… … . What a shame!”

The man in the yellow robe pointed at Namgung Jangcheon with a gourd.

That was when.

Someone walked out from behind Namgung Jangcheon.

He was Zhuge Liangmin, who had been holding his breath behind him.

He unfolded his fan and came forward in front of Namgung Jangcheon, proud and imposing like a god.

Then he looked at the monster in the golden robe.

“When you say head, are you referring to me? Or are you referring to the head of the Namgung family?”

“… … .”

“Well, thanks to that, I was able to get the smell off my judge’s pen.”

Zhuge Liang pointed to the judge’s seal stuck to the wall.

Only then did the representatives of the ten great factions, including Namgung Jangcheon, realize that it was Zhuge Liang who had saved them.

At that time, Zhuge Liang continued speaking.

“Judging by its destructive power, it doesn’t look like a wall-crawler used in the martial arts world, but rather a Jincheonroe taken from the imperial palace… … .”

Zhuge Liang pointed to the spot where the explosion had just occurred.

He spoke calmly, but he couldn’t calm his pounding heart.

If it’s Jincheonrye, the group that used it will be branded as a traitor.

However, there was only one possibility that Jincheonrye was used in this position.

It was as if he was ready to silence everyone.

‘The Battle of Red Cliffs… … .’

Zhuge Liang quickly recalled the message in the note that Peng Daiwei had given him.

The current situation was that he was at the foot of Red Cliffs.

How can I get out of this situation?
