The Return of the Namgoong Clan’s Granddaughter - Chapter 101



Only Noblemtl

Episode 101

Yoo Kang, who had handed Hwarin over to Namgung Cheongsan, looked back at Ma Jong-yi.

He stuck his tongue out at the demon’s face, which was red and bluish even when viewed from afar.

“idiot.”

“You… You…! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!”

Yoo Kang shrugged his shoulders and stood in Namgung’s camp.

Maeng Deung-ho also looked at Yoo Kang with absurd eyes.

– Maeng Deung-ho.

Maeng Deung-ho’s gaze turned to Seol-hwa.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Seol-hwa relayed the news to him.

– If you put down your weapons and stop fighting, I will tell you how to save your son.

Maeng Deung-ho’s eyebrows twitched and trembled.

When I was looking for him so much, no one even knew the exact name of my son’s illness, but now everyone is trying to weigh my son’s illness.

I didn’t like the idea of ​​using something precious to me as a weakness to threaten myself.

– Hey, you. Do you know what my son’s illness is and are you talking about that?

– Yin-Yang Great Vein.

“!”

– I am probably the only one who knows the symptoms and complete cure for the Yin-Yang Disorder.

The healing method of the Yin-Yang Great Vessel will be established 10 years from now.

– Did the blood bond holder tell you the cure?

Maeng Deung-ho’s face widened with even greater shock.

I never said that the Blood Bond Owner was involved in this. The only way to find out is for the Demon Lord to be the Blood Bond Owner’s person.

– You. You’re not an ordinary kid.

How could a child who looked to be only about ten years old understand the situation of the waterway?

– Okay. Are you ready to talk now?

“… .”

– You’d better choose quickly. Soyak has been shaking violently for a while now.

With a “thud” sound, Maeng Deung-ho’s spear fell to the ground.

Maeng Deung-ho shouted at his subordinates while keeping his gaze fixed on Seol-hwa.

“Drop all weapons and stand down! I surrender!”

Then the sound of weapons hitting the ground echoed through the water channel.

* * *

The situation was quickly resolved.

Since Chaeju had declared surrender, his subordinates could not swing their swords recklessly.

After Jinso-yak safely returned to Chaeju’s arms, some people secretly hoped that another battle would break out, but that did not happen.

Maeng Deung-ho stopped fighting as promised and guided Namgung’s men to the barracks.

Ma Jong-yi, who had been watching the situation as if he had suddenly become a precious guest visiting the water castle, quietly turned around.

He escaped through the messy gap in the broken fence and entered the forest where no one could see him.

‘Damn it. Because of that weird guy…’

It was his own plan to tell the blood loan shark to kidnap Namgung’s daughter.

As soon as he heard the rumor that Hwaoru’s Soruju had betrayed the organization and returned to Namgung, he made a proposal to Hyulsachaeju.

‘If we get our hands on Soruju, wouldn’t we be able to get something from Hwaoruju? At the very least, we could gain Luju’s trust.’

It’s okay even if the kidnapped child isn’t the runaway Soruju.

After kidnapping any of Namgung’s children, you can threaten Namgung into handing over the Soruju.

However, there was one problem.

If you kidnap Namgung’s child, you will inevitably end up making Namgung your enemy.

Namgung is a powerful martial arts family that dominates the Anhui Province region.

And Anhui Province alone? There is no place in the entire Central Plains that he does not extend his reach in terms of transportation, commerce, and military power.

A powerful family that rules over the entire Central Plains, using not only the main family located in Hefei but also branch families spread throughout the country, thanks to the existence of the Sword Emperor.

It is burdensome to have such a Sega as an enemy.

‘What if Namgung comes in?’

To the blood loan sharks who were worried about this, Ma Jong-yi came up with another solution.

‘Please pass the responsibility to Guiyingchae. Isn’t Guiyingchae’s son sick? He wants you to bring Namgung’s child in exchange for telling him how to cure his illness.’

‘Hoo.’

‘So when Namgung and Gwiyoungchae fight, Gwiyoungchae will not win, but even if he wins, he will be destroyed. Then, Lord Chae will absorb Gwiyoungchae. Haven’t you always coveted Gwiyoungchae’s power?’

It was a perfect plan, even in his own opinion.

By capturing Soruju who ran away to Namgung, he wins the heart of Hwaoruju and absorbs Gwiyeongchae, thereby strengthening his influence within Surochae.

If the blood citadel of Jiangsu Province, which occupied the sea route leading to Saewae, and the Guiying citadel of Wuhu, which had the strongest military force among the 18 water citadels, were combined.

‘The next general debtor could have been the blood debtor!’

That perfect plan was completely ruined.

‘I knew Soruju would be there!’

When on earth did you sneak into the waterway? You stupid bastard, Maeng Deung-ho!

Soruju too, and that crazy guy who was taking Namgung’s child too. Why did you take those guys with you?

Because of that, the situation became strange. Namgung and Gwiyeongchae, who were already fighting each other, were trying to negotiate?

‘This can’t go on. We need to hurry and call Chae Joo…’

Majong, who had entered the forest a short distance from the waterway, looked around and took something out of his bosom.

What came out of his arms was the Baekri Hyangsin Tan (百里香信彈), which could send signals up to a hundred li away using incense.

The moment I aimed the incense stick at the sky and pulled the string of the incense stick.

Swish- rustle.

“!”

The incense bullet was not shot into the sky, but split in half. It flew through the incense bullet and lodged in the tree next to the demon’s head.

The surprised demon rolled his eyes and looked at the thing stuck in the tree.

It was a small knife the length of the palm of one’s hand.

“Who are you trying to contact?”

At the eerie voice, Ma Jong-yi tried to turn his stiff head.

On top of a tree covered with leaves, a young girl was looking down at him with an indifferent gaze, as if she had been there for some time.

‘Cow, cow juice… .’

It was Namgung Seolhwa who betrayed the organization and ran away.

“Wh, what are you talking about? Contacting me…?”

Ma Jong-yi decided to pretend not to know for the time being.

“I just went for a walk to catch my breath.”

“Then what is that?”

Seol-hwa pointed with her finger at the incense burner that was rolling on the floor, split in two.

“T, this is… P, firecrackers! Yeah! Firecrackers! Ppop! They explode beautifully! You know…? Firecrackers. Huh?”

“Ahem, I see.”

The corners of Majong’s mouth also curved at the child’s bright smile.

“I know you want to treat me like an idiot. You damn fool.”

“!”

The demon’s eyes grew as big as lanterns.

‘Do you know me?!’

Ma Jong-yi already knew Soruju.

About three years ago, the Blood Demon called the Blood Lords and introduced a child to them, saying, “So-ru-ju.” Ma-jong, a confidant of the six Blood Lords, also saw the child at that time.

But I didn’t think the child would remember me either?!

‘I only saw you briefly from afar! Why do you remember me?!?’

Even though I was younger back then than I am now?!?

“Damn it. How is the enemy monster?”

“!”

The Red Monster is the current owner of the Blood Bonds and the name of the Blood Lord of the Blood Cult.

The gaze of the demon king wavered as he watched the story of the man calling out the name of the flesh and blood lord as if he were calling a friend.

I couldn’t figure out Soruju’s intentions at all.

widely.

Seolhwa jumped down lightly from the tree.

“You were the one who ordered the kidnapping of Namgung’s child, right?”

“Yes, yes…? W, what are you talking about…?”

“If I have to tell you the truth, will you?”

Woodduck.

I just moved my fingers a little bit and it sounded like something was breaking.

At the same time, the thick murderous aura flowing out of Seolhwa wrapped around Majong’s body like a snake.

“Ugh… .”

In an instant, Ma Jong-yi was gripped by the fear of death. He was smart but weak in arms, so it was natural that he could not handle Seol-hwa’s murderous intent.

“Is it because of me that you’re after Namgung’s child? Are you using me as an excuse to get something from Hwaoruju?”

“…!”

“answer.”

“That, that….”

Seolhwa approached Majong step by step.

As the distance between them grew closer, the murderous intent grew stronger, and it further choked Majong’s breathing.

“answer.”

“Huk… Ugh… .”

One step.

“answer.”

“S, save me… .”

Ma Jong did not answer until Seol Hwa was within arm’s reach. However, he could not say no either.

That was enough of an answer.

Seolhwa picked up the pick, laughed, and took life.

When I hit the back of the demon king, he was startled and shivered.

“For whatever reason, this time it was wrong.”

“…?”

“You decided that based on rumors, didn’t you? You wanted to catch me and win over Rouge’s heart. But those rumors were false.”

“Yes, yes…?”

Seolhwa pulled the dagger out of the tree and polished the blade.

“The rumor that I betrayed you was spread on purpose by Rouge.”

Ma Jong-yi swallowed dry saliva and rolled his eyes trying to figure out the meaning of Seol-hwa’s words.

‘A false rumor? That Soruju betrayed the organization and ran away?’

“Huh, then why are there such rumors…?”

“Because I had to completely infiltrate Namgung.”

“?”

“There’s something I need to find out from Namgung. What it is… Should I tell you?”

The tip of the sword was pointed at the demon. His arrogant speech and haughty gaze were those of a perfect ruler.

The demon felt a chilling joy.

‘That’s what it was!’
