The Return of the Namgoong Clan’s Granddaughter - Chapter 105
Only Noblemtl
Episode 105
Cheongun and Seolhwa returned to Surochae on that road.
Cheongsan’s family was waiting for the two people in front of Chaeju’s barracks.
“It’s over already?”
“Not yet. One, it looks like the ghost is going to die, so we have to get out of here before that happens.”
“!”
Cheongun shouted at the group.
The Hwangryong Sword members who had come with Cheongsan Island and Mo Yongyeonhwa also looked at Cheongun with tense expressions.
“From now on, we will leave the Surochae area without rest. Cheongsan will lead the way and open the way, and Hwangryongdaeju and I will follow behind, erasing our tracks.”
“for a moment.”
Cheongsan interrupted Cheongun’s words.
“I’ll take the rear. My brother is not in a good condition to fight. In that case, it’s better for me to stay behind so I can buy some time.”
“I’ll stand behind too. I’m confident I can erase any traces.”
Mo Yongyeonhwa also shared the same views as Cheongsan.
After thinking for a while, Cheongun decided to follow Cheongsan’s wishes.
“Okay, then I’ll do that.”
Cheongun and Hwangryongdaeju each carried Hwarin and Soyak, followed by Seolhwa and Yoo Kang. Next came the Hwangryongdae members, and lastly, Cheongsan and Murongyeonhwa.
“There is no rest until the mountain is over.”
Cheongun looked around the messy waterway.
Smoke was rising from the river beyond the waterway.
“Let’s go.”
* * *
Blame- Tadot-
Sasaak. Sasaak.
Namgung and his party quickly ran through the mountains.
Since there was no proper path and no trace of human presence, moving forward or erasing the traces was not easy.
The forest was dark, not even a single bit of moonlight reaching it.
I said I wouldn’t stop until I got over the mountain, but I couldn’t see where the end of the mountain was.
But Namgung didn’t stop. He kept moving forward.
“Sigh… Sob… Dad… .”
Soyak finally burst into tears.
I followed Namgung out of fear of becoming a burden to my father, but it’s not like I don’t know anything just because I’m a child.
The child, who noticed that the situation was serious, knew that his father’s life was in danger. However.
‘Maeng Deung-ho will not die.’
Seolhwa’s thoughts were different.
‘The fleshly blood lord has lost the will of the demon lord. So he will want to keep Maeng Deung-ho in his hands by any means necessary.’
His statement that he would take Maeng Deung-ho as his subordinate in exchange for losing Ma Jong-ui was not a simple provocation.
Even though the situation has changed and Meng Deung-ho has no intention of following Yuk Hyeon-ju, it is not impossible to have Meng Deung-ho as a subordinate.
‘All you have to do is get your hands on the true medicine.’
A father who would do anything for his son.
If you get your hands on the true medicine, Maeng Deung-ho will obey you even if he doesn’t want to.
The flesh and blood of the people would know that.
‘So, no matter what, you must keep the medicine.’
The situation where the demon lord died.
If Jin So-yak did not fall into their hands, then Maeng Deng-ho would not become a subordinate of the Six Blood Lords, and if that happened, the Six Blood Lords’ power would be much weaker than what he knew in his previous life.
‘If that happens, it might become difficult for the Yuk bloodline to control the Yangtze River waterway.’
If you attack the flesh blood lord while he is unable to control the water channel…
‘We might be able to kill the flesh blood lord before the Blood Cult even appears…!’
In order to do that, getting out of this place safely is a priority.
Seolhwa looked back at Cheongwoon, who was panting heavily.
“Huk… Ugh… .”
Cheong-un’s condition was serious, as he had already suffered internal injuries from Maeng Deung-ho, and his internal strength was already unstable.
Even though I had only performed the lightness attack for half an hour, my energy was already in disarray.
‘I think it would be better for me to carry Hwarin.’
With that thought in mind, I approached Cheongwoon to tell him.
Boom-!
“!”
Behind the group, the ground shook with a huge impact.
The group at the front stopped in surprise and looked back.
A rough and massive energy was felt from the rear.
Because the forest was dark and dense, I couldn’t see it well, but soon I could feel the energy of the green mountains and the Murong Lotus Flower moving.
A battle broke out.
“Hwangryongdaeju.”
Cheongun put down Hwarin and drew his sword.
“Please take care of the children.”
“No, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is in no condition to fight right now!”
“At least he’s a top-notch expert. I have to go.”
“One…! … Hwangryongdae, support the rear engagement! Quickly!”
“Snow flower.”
Cheongun looked at Seolhwa.
The biggest reason he rushes into battle despite knowing that his physical condition is extremely poor is to protect Seolhwa.
“Run away as far as you can.”
Seolhwa didn’t know what to say in response.
Seolhwa knew Cheongun’s condition better than anyone else.
However, he is the only one who can stand against the enemy who attacked the rear.
In my head, I think it’s right for Cheongun to go in order to buy some time.
but.
“…dad.”
My heart was pounding, my mouth was dry, and my hands were sweaty.
In his previous life, Namgung Cheongun did not die at this time, but the circumstances were different.
My heart sank at the thought that Namgung Cheong-un could die from an unpredictable threat.
‘unrest.’
I was worried that he would die.
“I’ll follow you soon.”
As if sensing Seolhwa’s anxiety, Cheongwoon stroked Seolhwa’s cheek with a softer smile than before.
The warmth that had lingered on the ball for a moment soon subsided.
When I tried to grab Cheongun’s hand without realizing it, Cheongun had already disappeared.
* * *
Choaaaak-
“Kwaaak!”
One of the Hwangryong members was knocked out with one blow.
“Huk… Ugh… .”
Cheongsan stared blankly at the agent who had jumped in to protect himself and lost his life. Cheongsan’s greatsword was now broken in two and rolling around on the ground.
‘… You monster bastard… .’
The guy who attacked the rear was a real monster.
A supreme realm that cannot be compared to Cheongsan and Yeonhwa.
They fought desperately to buy time, but Cheongsan and Yeonhwa could not endure even five rounds of attack.
“Ha… haa… .”
Mo Yongyeonhwa was also catching her breath on one side. She was already covered in wounds, having rolled on the ground and crashed into a tree, pushed by the energy.
Cheongsan picked up the broken sword while looking at the lotus flower.
“You run away too.”
“!”
Cheongsan stood in front of Yeonhwa.
Yeonhwa looked up at the back of the man blocking her way. It was a huge back with blue energy rippling.
“…What are you talking about? You don’t think you can beat that guy without me, do you?”
Yeonhwa stood up, holding her sword against the ground. She looked at the giant’s back for a moment before standing next to him.
“I told you, it’s not the size of the sword that counts, it’s the intensity.”
“Kuhaha. For men, bigger is best. I still think so.”
“How can you be so stubborn while holding a broken sword?”
Mo Yongyeonhwa looked at the enemy radiating an ominous aura in front of her.
It was a really bad vibe.
“…don’t die.”
“You. Even if you die, you will die later than me.”
“… .”
The two men faced the bastard.
The enemy monster chuckled as he looked at the two people.
“It breaks my heart to see these idiots acting up without any reason.”
At those words, the bandits who came with the enemy monster burst into laughter.
The only enemy monster fighting was the one who was alone, and the other enemies weren’t even holding their swords properly.
“Do you know how wide my heart is? It probably can’t even be compared to the rivers and seas.”
“… .”
“In that sense, I will grant your wish.”
The enemy monster spurted the blood on my sword.
“I’ll send you guys away at once.”
A crimson aura surrounded his sword.
It was a sticky and pungent, unpleasant feeling, like the feeling of a love affair with Mo Yongyeonhwa.
Shhh-
As the enemy monster swung its sword towards Cheongsan and Yeonhwa, a dark red energy surged towards the two.
“shit…!”
At that moment, two people simultaneously raised their swords and prepared for the oncoming force.
Shhh- Kwaang-!
The blue energy flying from behind the two people collided with the crimson energy, blocking their energy.
The wind pressure created by the two energies caused the leaves to flutter and dust to rise.
When Cheongsan and Yeonhwa barely opened their eyes, Cheongwoon was blocking their path.
* * *
Kuuuung-
A huge vibration shook the entire area.
The sleeping birds suddenly took flight, and an ominous wind blew from somewhere.
Seolhwa stopped walking.
When she stopped, Hwangryongdaeju and Yoo Kang also put their children down and took a moment to catch their breath.
“what’s the matter?”
Yoo Kang approached Seol Hwa.
“…dad.”
“what?”
“Dad….”
The clash just now was clearly a sign of good fortune.
There was no way I could have mistaken the clear and refreshing energy.
‘What happened?’
Thump, thump, my heart pounded.
The same anxiety she felt when she broke up with Cheongun enveloped her.
Seolhwa grabbed her racing heart. The feeling of her chest tightening was unfamiliar and scary.
“You… where does it hurt?”
Yu-gang was surprised to see Seol-hwa sweating profusely and grabbed her.
At that time, I was looking at Seolhwa’s complexion with a worried expression.
‘!’
“damage!”
Seolhwa pushed Yugang away. However.
Shhh- Whew-!
“omg….”
Red blood spurted out and Yu Kang gasped for breath.
Seol-hwa’s eyes wavered.
The moment he tried to push him away, Yoo Kang put strength into the hand he was holding onto, so he wouldn’t be pushed away.
“you….”
“This… hurts… .”
Cool… .
Yu Kang’s body leaned forward and soon collapsed into Seol Hwa’s arms.
At that moment, the familiar scent of blood tickled Seol-hwa’s nose.
“… .”
“Ah- This. I tried to kill you with one blow.”
Seol-hwa, who had been blankly looking down at the blood on her hands, raised her gaze and looked up at the person standing with his back to the moonlight.
“You really aren’t dead?”
“… .”
“miss.”
