Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 408



Only Noblemtl

408. Invisible Threat (5)

Hyunmun asked after hearing the strange Taegeuk swordsman’s words.

“What do you mean?”

“It took me seven years to realize that gift.”

“Seven years?”

“How long will it take that child…? I think it will take five years at the earliest. He will probably not be able to leave Sacheondangga for a while.”

“Why do you want to keep Prince Peng?”

“I guess he does that because he’s saving it.”

“What does that mean?”

“I felt an inexplicable dizziness from that friend that I had felt from the previous Taegeuk Sword Master.”

“What the heck… … .”

“Didn’t we talk about the story of our meeting with the previous Taegeuk Sword Master earlier?”

“Yes, you did.”

“At that time, I asked the previous Taegeuk Sword Master how to find a successor.”

“I’m curious about that answer too, Death Penalty.”

“As the former Taegeuk Sword Master used to say, you would know when you see it.”

“So are you saying that you knew just by looking at him that Peng Gongja was the successor to the Great Supreme Sword Emperor?”

“Yes, but there was a problem.”

“What’s the problem?”

“The problem is that I finally found the successor that the previous Taegeuk Sword Master had asked for, but he’s a frog that can’t run away.”

“hmm.”

“The previous Taegeuk Sword Master made a promise to me.”

“What did you promise?”

“He said he would come back once he found the successor. He said there were three years left. So… … .”

Taegeuk Swordsman continued to tell Hanbin the behind-the-scenes story that he had not told him.

The content was simple.

The content was that if you find the successor, the previous Taegeuk Sword Master will come and give you enlightenment.

Hyunmun, who was listening to the story, tilted his head.

“I hate to say this, but… … .”

“Tell me, priest.”

“Didn’t you say that the previous Taegeuk Sword Master lost one of his arms? If that’s the case… … .”

Hyunmun trailed off.

I wanted to ask if he had passed away, but that would have been disrespectful to the entire Buddhist order.

Taegeuk Sword Master surprisingly smiled.

“You don’t have to be so serious, priest.”

“What do you mean?”

“What I said earlier was half a lie.”

“What do you mean?”

“It is true that there are threatening forces that even the Three Lords of the Martial Arts World of the previous generation cannot deal with, but the Three Lords of the Martial Arts World of the previous generation did not lose an arm.”

“Really? Death penalty.”

“That’s right.”

“Why did you tell such a lie?”

“Would that frog stay still if I didn’t advise it like that?”

Taegeuk Sword Master turned his head towards where Hanbin was.

Hyunmun’s mouth opened wide at the sight.

It was an expression that seemed to gather all the emotions, including surprise and doubt, in one place.

Hyunmun quietly looked at the Taegeuk Sword Master.

“… … .”

“You look very curious, priest.”

“I don’t understand English.”

“The priest has changed a lot, too.”

“… … .”

“Ten years ago, you would have definitely talked back to me. But if you still didn’t like it, you would have turned the shaman upside down. Haha.”

Taegeuk Sword Master’s words were true.

Hyeonmun, who was called the loser of the shaman faction, changed after meeting Hanbin.

Hyunmun turned his head at the sight of the Taegeuk Sword Master laughing absentmindedly.

There was nothing wrong with what the death penalty man, Taegeukgeomje, said.

But Hyunmun changed after meeting Hanbin.

Taegeuk Swordsmanship also found it strange.

“Don’t tease me, Death Penalty.”

“I’m not teasing you, I’m praising you. If possible, stay at Sacheondangga and protect that friend.”

“Protection?”

“You absolutely cannot get hurt. The future of the martial arts world depends on that guy.”

“If you are a descendant, why don’t you trust Prince Peng? Death penalty.”

“It’s something that you can’t get a feel for. They say you can know the depth of ten feet of water, but you can’t know the heart of a one-foot person. But that guy from Habukpengga is so deep that you can’t measure his depth.”

“… … .”

“You’ll find out the rest as time goes by, so I guess I’ll be going now.”

Taegeuk Sword Master showed a faint smile.

But Hyunmun asked again, feeling uneasy.

“Where are you going?”

“I need to meet my juniors and ask them for a few favors.”

After finishing his speech, Taegeuk Sword Master disappeared from his seat.

The current situation was simply astonishing.

What did the death penalty Taegeuk Sword Emperor give to Hanbin?

I watched from the side, but there was nothing.

Hyunmun turned to Hanbin’s quarters with a puzzled expression on his face.

* * *

Hyeonmun, who had come to the training ground in front of Hanbin’s residence, tilted his head.

Because Hanbin was lost in thought.

Hyunmun tilted his head and asked.

“Peng Gongzi, why are you doing that?”

“The Taegeuk Sword Master gave me an interesting gift, and I am currently researching it.”

“A gift?”

When Hyunmun asked with an expression of confusion, Hanbin pointed to the floor.

“Look at that.”

“What on earth do you want me to see… … .”

Hyunmun trailed off.

Someone’s footprints were clearly visible on the floor of the training ground.

The mysterious footprints were clearly traces of the Taegeuk Chilseongbo.

Only then was Hyunmun able to understand the words left behind by his brother-in-law, Taegeuk Sword Master.

Hyunmun muttered to himself without realizing it.

“Then, for five years, in Sacheondangga… … .”

The traces left by the Taegeuk Sword Master are traces of ascending martial arts.

If he was unmanned, he would not have left Sacheondangga, leaving behind those traces.

If so, it was clear that Hanbin would remain here and study those traces.

It was clear that Taegeuk Sword Master occasionally visited Hanbin to try to persuade him while Hanbin was tied up at Sacheondangga.

Before Hyunmun could finish speaking, Hanbin tilted his head and asked.

“What do you mean?”

“Oh, no.”

Hyunmun couldn’t hide his bewildered expression.

In a way, this was an arrangement of the Taegeuk Sword Mastery to make Hanbin the successor.

But if I heard it myself, I wouldn’t feel good.

Using martial arts as bait to tie Sacheon’s feet was no different from throwing bait on a trap.

Fortunately, Hanbin immediately turned his head and crossed his arms.

In fact, Hanbin was not unaware of Hyeonmun’s words.

Hanbin also knew that making this gift his own would not be easy.

How long will it take for that realization to become your own?

It must have meant something to him that he had given himself these footprints as a gift.

Hanbin narrowed his eyes and looked at the traces of the Taegeuk Chilseongbo.

* * *

A few days later, Sacheondangga.

Sacheondangga went to find vitality.

Thanks to the efforts of special carpenter Lee So-woon and the Red Blood Tiger Squad, the collapsed pavilions were gradually put back into place.

Dang Moo-cheon, the head of the Sacheon Dang family, quietly turned his head.

Because Hanbin hasn’t been seen for several days.

“Gwanghyeon, where is Prince Peng?”

“I don’t take a single step out of the annex.”

“Hehehe, what on earth happened?”

“I heard that you stand in the training hall and just look at the floor all day long.”

“hmm.”

“We are controlling that area to avoid any disturbance.”

“I guess I should go.”

As Tang Wuqian walked forward with his martial arts uniform fluttering, Tang Guangxian hurriedly followed after him.

Dangmucheon, who arrived at the annex where Hanbin was staying, opened his eyes wide as he looked at the training ground.

In the middle of the training ground, Hanbin stood like a stone statue.

Dangmucheon approached Hanbin cautiously.

“Peng Gongzi.”

“Are you here, sir?”

“What on earth is going on? I heard you’ve stopped eating or drinking and are deep in thought.”

“It’s nothing.”

“It’s nothing, but you can tell just by looking at it that your face is badly injured.”

“I received a gift package from someone I know.”

“It’s a gift package… … .”

“But I can’t open the gift package. That’s the gift package.”

Hanbin pointed to the traces on the floor.

In that moment, Dangmucheon’s eyes widened.

Dangmucheon, who had been watching the traces for a long time, quickly turned his head.

“I made a mistake. I unintentionally peeked at someone else’s martial arts… … .”

“it’s okay.”

Hanbin waved his hand.

Even for Tang Mu-cheon, it was impossible to obtain martial arts skills through traces.

If I could attain enlightenment in a day or two, I wouldn’t have worried so much.

It didn’t matter who saw these traces.

The seven footprints were like a puzzle. If someone could see these footprints and give them enlightenment, Hanbin would be very happy.

“Haha, I see what you mean.”

“You can come and see anytime. If you have any clues, please let me know.”

“Okay.”

Dangmucheon smiled faintly.

Dangmucheon immediately recognized that the traces were the shaman’s martial arts skills.

Actually, there was one thing more important than that.

It was said that Hanbin could not leave Sacheondangga until he gained enlightenment through these footsteps.

During that time, he was no longer a member of the Habuk Peng family, but rather a member of the Sacheon Dang family.

During that time, you could connect with your granddaughter or even take her in as your son-in-law.

If that were to happen, Sacheondangga would enjoy its greatest heyday.

It was when Dangmucheon was having a grand plan in his head.

Hanbin stretched.

“Oh, I’m tired.”

“Hehe, take your time and take a look.”

Dangmucheon smiled happily.

Hanbin responded with a smile.

“Thank you for your attention. I will take my time and look into it as you said.”

“Good idea. Then I have some ripe white apricots. How about a glass?”

“Is that okay?”

“Haha, of course. Why are you saying such disappointing things?”

“Then I will follow you, sir.”

Hanbin bowed his head politely.

The family tree of Sacheondangga.

Hanbin and Dangmucheon are facing each other at a small table in a spacious living room.

As the trivial conversation continued, Hanbin’s eyes lit up.

“Elder.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“I have a favor to ask.”

“What kind of favor do you have?”

“I’m talking about the condition I told you about last time.”

“Well, in that case… … .”

Dangmucheon furrowed his brows.

According to Hanbin, his physical condition was so serious that it was equivalent to being possessed by a demon.

A situation where you might never be able to use martial arts again.

I heard a few days ago that you used your true energy to find a carpenter and a stonemason, but it was clear that you had used up your last bit of strength.

Dangmucheon smiled bitterly as he thought about Hanbin’s current physical condition.

What would happen if word got out that Jinryongsohyeop, the hero of the Mugajihoe, was in such a bad state?

The representatives of Tang Mu-cheon and the Ten Thousand Years Family were keeping a tight lid on the rumor.

Hanbin said after seeing his expression.

“Please spread the word about my condition.”

“Huh, what does that mean?”

“I want to live quietly now.”

Hanbin had a smile on his lips without any greed.

Dangmucheon’s eyes widened at that sight.

For a moment, he nodded.

Because I thought I knew Hanbin’s intentions.

If he remained a hero of the Mugajihoe, countless challengers would seek him out.

Perhaps he was trying to find martial arts skills through the footprints left in the training ground.

In other words, he wanted to practice in private without being disturbed by anyone.

Dangmucheon understood this and smiled broadly.

Of course, Hanbin’s thoughts were different.

What’s the best way to deal with an invisible enemy?

It was also hiding its own body.

Rather than puffing up like a puffer fish and revealing myself to the world, it would have been better to be a loach swimming leisurely in the darkness.

* * *

After two weeks.

A small commotion broke out in the annex where Hanbin was staying.

Dangmucheon hurriedly went to the annex without even properly putting on his clothes.

The reason was simple.

It was because Hanbin notified that he would be leaving Sacheondangga.

Dangmucheon couldn’t understand it at all.

I never imagined that Hanbin would leave the martial arts left in the annex training ground and go on his journey.

Tang Mu-cheon couldn’t hide his surprised expression and asked Han Bin.

“Have you perhaps gained insight from those traces?”

“Not yet.”

“So you’ve given up, Prince Peng?”

“That’s not it either.”

“Then why are you leaving like this?”

At that moment, Hanbin smiled faintly.
