Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 687



Only Noblemtl

687. Attack and Defense (2)

The Dharma Elder quietly shook his head at the cries of the martial artists.

“You misunderstand what I am saying. Our shamans do not seek to frame anyone.”

At his words, Hwangbo Man-cheong, the head of the family in his teens, took a step forward.

“Master, I am a nameless martial artist named Hwangbo Mancheong. I have come forward because I have a question. Master, you just mentioned family. So does that mean there are people in the martial arts world who are in collusion with the Demonic Cult?”

Hwangbo Man-cheong put his inner strength into every word he said.

By using the expression “nameless unmanned person” there, I emphasized that I was asking the question as a single unmanned person and not as a martial arts world leader.

Everyone nodded.

I agree with Hwangbo Man-cheong’s question.

Everyone was curious about the words of the shamanist elder, but no one agreed.

The same was true for the representatives of the old file room.

The same was true for Seo Jae-oh, the plum blossom swordsman who came representing the Hwasan faction.

He was one of the nine-legged warriors who knew the ten great swordsmen of the world.

Since meeting Hanbin, the Four Princes of the Habuk Peng Family, at Cheonsujang, he has developed a relationship with the ten greatest families in the world.

At first, I thought it was a bad relationship.

But later I found out that it was fate. The one who gave him the nickname of Plum Blossom Swordsman was the Four Princes of the Habuk Peng family.

That wasn’t all.

Thanks to my relationship with him, I became one of the top five plum blossom inspectors.

It was said that he had become a young master representing the Hwasan faction.

Seo Jae-oh, who was looking at the plum blossoms in full bloom on his sleeve with a proud expression, took a step forward.

“I also agree with what Hwangbo Mancheong said.”

People’s attention was drawn to Seo Jae-oh’s words, which were full of internal energy.

The shamanic sect’s Dharma elder slightly raised his eyes.

Judging from the outfit, it’s definitely a volcano faction, but it’s my first time seeing their face.

What was strange was the plum blossoms in full bloom on the sleeves.

In other words, it was one of the few plum blossom inspectors.

But you don’t know the face?

The Dharma Elder was suspicious of his identity.

“Please identify yourself.”

“My name is Seo Jae-oh, a disciple of the Hwasan faction.”

When Seo Jae-oh revealed his identity, an uproar arose here and there.

“The author is the Plum Blossom Sword Association?”

“Haha, I didn’t know you were that young.”

“At that age, he’s being mentioned as the next leader of the volcano… … .”

“I envy you. I don’t know what we did at that age.”

“I also chewed up the world of martial arts in my old days… … .”

“Don’t say anything that could cause trouble.”

“I’m joking. To see the Plum Blossom Swordsman here, it was a good decision to come to the shaman’s house.”

The Dharma Elder narrowed his eyes at the praise pouring in from all sides.

I had heard the nickname ‘Plum Blossom Sword Association’ before.

But I didn’t know that this name would be engraved in the minds of so many martial artists.

The elder Dharma guardian continued speaking with narrowed eyes.

“You are the Plum Blossom Swordsman, renowned for your good deeds. But what is your opinion that has brought you here?”

“It doesn’t make sense to say that there is someone who is in collusion with the Demonic Cult. What is the purpose of this Heroic Tournament? Isn’t it to put our heads together and resolve a series of incidents in the martial arts world? Were those incidents caused by the Demonic Cult? As far as I know, the mastermind behind them has not been revealed.”

“You said the secret behind the story hasn’t been revealed? What makes you think so?”

“Even Gaebong doesn’t know exactly what’s behind it. If Gaebong doesn’t know, who can know?”

Seo Jae-oh declared.

The reason why this is possible is because he has been through thick and thin with Hong Chil-gae for the past few months.

Of course, there was a misunderstanding in the saying, “shared joy and sorrow.”

It’s because only Seo Jae-oh suffered.

But by hanging out with Hong Chil-gae, I was able to learn all the secret information about Gae-bok.

Of course, there was another uproar around here.

The relationship between Plum Blossom Sword Association and Gaebong is said to be strong.

There were groundless rumors among martial artists that Plum Blossom Swordsman was expected to be the next leader of the Hwasan clan.

The corners of the Dharma Elder’s mouth rose at the noise.

“It’s not just the martial arts world that has joined hands with the Demonic Cult.”

“What do you mean, Master?”

“The martial arts world is at the center, but there are traitors all over the martial arts world.”

After finishing speaking, the Dharma Guardian Elder looked around.

He looked at the representatives of the sects and the martial arts world one by one.

At that sight, Hwangbo Man-cheong asked again.

“Are you trying to split the party now?”

“It’s not division, it’s purification.”

The Dharma Elder stroked his beard with a confident look in his eyes.

His gaze was quite arrogant.

It was a look of tyranny that could not be seen in a shamanistic Taoist.

Hwangbo Man-cheong put strength into his voice.

“Purification? Who gave shamans the right to purify the martial arts world?”

“Shamans have rights.”

“The government has never given shamans any arbitrary rights.”

Hwangbo Man-cheong looked back.

At the same time, the martial artists nodded their heads.

It meant that he agreed. Anyone who heard the words of the Dharma Elder now would say that they were self-righteous.

Then the Dharma Elder raised his voice.

“Because they attacked the shaman.”

“What do you mean? When was the shaman attacked?”

As Hwangbo Man-cheong opened his eyes wide, the elder of the law continued speaking.

“Our shamans made a plan while holding the Heroes’ Competition.”

“What is the plan?”

“I plan to uncover the truth behind a series of incidents that occurred in Gangho.”

“Tell me the plan.”

“I’ll reveal it now. If the Hwangbo family head is behind the incidents that have occurred in Gangho, what will you do with this hero competition?”

“hmm.”

“If I were behind this, I would use this Hero Competition as an opportunity. Since all the heroes are gathered here, it would be easy to cause trouble and also easy to recruit others.”

“What does that mean?”

“The forces behind this incident are going to use this Hero Competition as an opportunity. To do so, wouldn’t it be best to reach out to the shaman who hosted this competition? That’s what the Taegeuk Sword Master and our shaman elders thought. Do you agree?”

“… … .”

Hwangbo Man-cheong looked at Seo Jae-oh quietly.

Seo Jae-oh tilted his head.

The two had no idea what the shaman’s elder guardian was trying to say.

Even the martial artists only swallowed dry saliva and showed only curiosity.

Then the shaman’s elder dharma guardian continued speaking.

“Our shaman was secretly attacked after declaring the Heroes’ Tournament.”

“You said it was a raid?”

Hwangbo Man-cheong tilted his head.

It was the same for other strong people.

If a shaman was attacked, it would be a major incident.

Now all the strong men have stepped forward.

“What on earth do you mean?”

“Who attacked the shaman?”

“Is that true now?”

While everyone was murmuring, someone shouted with all his might.

“The shaman was attacked and you’re only revealing it now?”

It was the voice of Namgung Jangcheon, the head of the Namgung Se family.

Namgung Jangcheon focused his eyes and looked at the Dharma Elder.

Everyone in the martial arts world nodded at his shout.

That would be the case, since the shaman being attacked means that the martial arts world is in crisis.

But what if the other martial artists, except for the shamans, didn’t know about that?

It’s as if the shaman intentionally drove the martial artists into a crisis.

Despite everyone’s shouts, the expression on the Dharma Guardian’s face did not change.

The smile he sometimes gave was so annoying that it almost seemed annoying.

The Dharma Elder waited until the commotion died down before continuing.

“That was our plan. We captured the one who attacked us.”

“What does that mean?”

When Namgung Jangcheon asked, the Dharma Elder clapped his hands.

match.

At that sound, a crowd of shamanic monks came rushing out from behind.

Namgung Jangcheon tilted his head.

All the people who have appeared now are Taoists of the same rank as the Dharma Elder and the wise men of the ship.

Among them, Taoists such as Hyeon Dam and Hyeon Woong were close friends with Namgung Jangcheon.

They lined up behind the Dharma Elder.

Namgung Jangcheon couldn’t stand the sight and asked.

“Are you saying they attacked the shaman?”

“They are not the ones who attacked, they are the witnesses who were attacked.”

“As a witness… … .”

“Don’t you know well about the characteristics of the enemies who caused this incident?”

“What does that mean?”

“According to the investigation report of the Justice Alliance, those who committed this incident are said to be skilled in disguise.”

“I know that too.”

“The enemy came attacking us in the guise of our slain and priests. If I had just been defeated, it would probably have been my enemies, not my slain brothers, who would have taken their place.”

“Then where are the enemies?”

“That’s the point. The shaman has called you all here to show you the proof.”

The Dharma Guardian’s eyes lit up for a moment.

He lifted up the scabbard with the Taegeuk pattern clearly visible.

The Dharma Elder holding the scabbard slowly walked somewhere.

The place where the Dharma Guardian Elder walked was behind the Taegeukjeon.

The back of the Taegeukjeon was decorated with a huge stone slab with a huge Taegeuk pattern engraved on it.

The martial artists looked at each other at the sudden actions of the Dharma Elder.

Because no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand the sight of the Dharma Elder walking backwards while showing evidence.

The Dharma Elder paused in front of the stone tablet for a moment and then turned around again.

Then he continued speaking with a meaningful look in his eyes.

“Everyone, come forward. Now we will reveal the names of those who attacked us.”

At his words, the martial artists, without exception, rushed forward.

They watched the Dharma Guardian’s every move without blinking.

The Dharma Elder looked somewhere quietly.

Seo Jae-oh also stood at the very front and observed the Dharma Elder.

There was something strange about the behavior of the Dharma Elder.

Although other martial artists might not have noticed, Seo Jae-oh felt a strange vibe from his actions.

It feels like all the actions of the Dharma Elders are dualistic.

Looking at his current appearance, it seemed as if he was waiting for a signal.

But he would look back every now and then and show Kang Ho-in a look of anguish.

Perhaps, in the past, I might not have felt anything strange.

However, after being treated so badly by Hanbin, the son of the Habuk Peng family, Seo Jae-oh came to understand how to read people’s emotions without realizing it.

Hong Chil-gae said that the number of people who were blindfolded increased, but Seo Jae-oh thought that it was not blindfolded but poison.

The word ‘eye candy’ does not suit a plum inspector.

In any case, the appearance of the Dharma Guardian Elder now was, in a word, like that of a Peking Opera actor preparing to show a climax scene.

What on earth is he trying to show by taking so long?

It was when everyone was swallowing dry saliva.

The Dharma Elder, who had a pensive expression on his face, drew his sword.

Sling.

When the swordsman uttered the omen, everyone held their breath.

In fact, what sparkled more than the swordsmanship were the eyes of the Dharma Guardian Elder.

The Dharma Elder took a step to the side.

The place where he stopped was a pillar next to a stone wall.

It was the right pillar among the two pillars that held the stone wall firmly in place.

The pillar also had a Taegeuk pattern engraved on it.

He stuck his sword into one of the Taegeuk patterns carved into the pillar.

Sigh.

It was when the martial artists were tilting their heads at the unexpected situation.

The stone wall began to shake.

The swaying stone wall slowly moves from right to left.

The stone wall, which was thought to be decorative, was moving.

As the stone wall moved, the Dharma Guardian Elder shouted.

“The criminals are right here!”
