The Return of the Namgoong Clan’s Granddaughter - Chapter 131

Episode 131

Phew-

Namgung Mucheon tried to block the poison by swinging his energy momentarily. However, the poison quickly spread throughout the space.

“Cough! Cough!”

“Ugh…!”

A cough erupted and my breathing stopped.

The group could not move until the white smoke completely cleared.

‘… It’s really a mountain poisoning.’

Seolhwa immediately tried to use her internal energy.

But as expected, the internal energy quickly dissipated like smoke.

“That’s the poison you were talking about.”

Namgung Mucheon also confirmed that his internal energy was dissipating. It felt as if the sword he had been carrying on his waist had disappeared in an instant without a trace.

The most embarrassing thing was No-un.

“This, this… I’m sure it was the last time I came…”

I’m sure that the last time I came, there was no entrance or poison.

“How….”

“I guess someone has been here in the meantime.”

Seolhwa looked around.

The reason why both Jinbeop and Sangongdok were newly created after Noun left was simple.

“Probably the owner of the disagreement.”

Manrishinto.

He went to Bidong.

“… This is a big problem.”

It is dangerous to continue moving forward after inhaling the poison.

If it were just me and Noh-un, it wouldn’t matter, but in this situation, Seol-hwa is present.

I would like to go back, but the entrance the three people came through had disappeared without a trace.

“hmm….”

Namgung Mucheon frowned as if in trouble.

Should I collapse the cave?

Even though I can’t use my internal energy, I think I can easily penetrate a thin wall.

‘One, if the cave collapses, it will be a disaster…’

“There is another exit inside.”

Namgung Mucheon looked back at Noun.

No-un continued speaking hesitantly.

“One, the problem is that there is no guarantee that the way to the exit will be safe.”

A formation that didn’t exist before is created, and organs that were thought to have already been activated are restored.

I couldn’t tell what would have changed after this.

“What should we do?”

At that moment, the cave vibrated with a kukukung sound.

“…It seems like the master of disagreement is urging us to move.”

“… .”

Seolhwa quietly looked around the cave while watching Namgung Mucheon mumbling in an unpleasant manner.

In fact, Seolhwa knew that the effects of this mountain poison would soon wear off.

Although he didn’t say that the poison was a poisonous substance, in his previous life, Oh Hyeol-ju also talked about the poison and said that the effect was about half an hour.

One problem is.

‘There is a method that disappears after half an hour inside the disagreement.’

If you don’t reach the formation within half an hour, you won’t find the treasure hidden in the cave.

This cave is a labyrinth that cannot be reached until the end if you delay for fear of the mountain air poison.

‘Somewhere around here… .’

Seolhwa walked slowly, sweeping the cave wall. At some point, she felt a fine texture at the tips of her fingers.

‘think.’

“There is an inscription here.”

Namgung Mucheon and Noun approached Seolhwa’s words. Namgung Mucheon checked the writing carved on the wall and asked.

“Okmaegeom. Was this phrase there originally?”

“Yes. It was there originally.”

“hmm….”

Namgung Mucheon let out a low sigh.

‘The sound of the oysters a little while ago and this phrase too… .’

Doesn’t it seem as if the owner of the room is pushing away those who enter the room?

“I want to go in and see, Grandpa.”

“Why?”

“If you find the crown prince of heaven, you will gain the world.”

Namgung Mucheon and Noun looked at her at the same time.

The story was about a rumor about the Heavenly Palace Crown Prince that was spread by Manri Shintu.

It was a rumor that stirred up the world of martial arts, so both of them had heard it before, but why did they mention Cheongunggwidoo in this situation?

“Recently, my father and I found that heavenly crown.”

“!”

“I never intended to hide from Grandfather that I had found the Heavenly Palace Gwidoo. I just never had the chance to tell him.”

“Okay. So, what did you get?”

“This is the elixir.”

Seolhwa took something out of her bosom.

It was a piece of a jade tablet found together with the Golden Dragon Jade Blood Treasure.

“On the back of the jade tablet is this inscription: ‘You have obtained the first piece of the world.’”

“That means….”

“That means there are other pieces. And.”

Seolhwa ran her hand over the writing on the wall.

[The courageous ones will inherit the world.]

“I think there might be one of those pieces in this cave. I want to find it.”

“… .”

“Can I come in and take a look?”

Namgung Mucheon frowned as if in embarrassment.

Namgung Mucheon was a man who would never hesitate if he were alone, but he was even less likely to put his granddaughter in danger.

Even though I had heard that there was an exit inside, I had no intention of moving easily unless I was sure it was safe.

But if the granddaughter wanted it, it was different.

If it is a treasure left behind by the great thief, Manri Shintu, it will surely be of great help to the granddaughter.

He was not a man who would hesitate to do something that he thought would help his granddaughter.

Just then, the oysters rang again, cuckoo.

Namgung Mucheon, who was looking up at the stones falling from the ceiling, eventually nodded with a short sigh.

“Okay, let’s go in. I’ll take the lead.”

Namgung Mucheon drew his sword.

Even though he was equally addicted to the mountain spirit and couldn’t use his internal energy, he pulled out his sword and felt an aura that couldn’t be ignored.

‘These non-consensual institutions aren’t that dangerous anyway.’

Anyone like Namgung Mucheon would be able to pass easily.

The three people, led by Namgung Mucheon, walked inward.

As we went inside, Noh-un started pointing out the traps he knew of one by one.

Although the trap may have been different than before, the advice of the old man who understood the structure of the disagreement was still useful.

“There was a trap ahead. If you take three steps forward, dozens of sticks about half a meter long will pop out.”

If No-un said that, Nam-gung Mucheon would be left to deal with the trap alone.

As Namgung Mucheon took three steps forward as Noun had said, sticks shot out from all directions.

It was a trap that would have beaten his entire body if he was not prepared, but Namgung Mucheon easily chopped the sticks that popped out.

In an instant, pieces of wood fell down with a thud.

“These were the ones that were cut off before, but they’ve all been restored.”

Next were the self-moving wooden figures.

As Namgung Mucheon approached within a certain distance, the men holding clubs rushed at him all at once.

Namgung Mucheon easily subdued him this time too.

The next trap was a pit that appeared about half the depth of a person.

Although the trap was one sheet wide, Namgung Mucheon easily crossed over it without using any internal energy.

Next are sandbags flying from all directions.

The sandbags were all torn apart by Namgung Mucheon’s sword before they could even get close, spilling out sand.

Seolhwa and Noun were able to easily overcome the trap thanks to Namgung Mucheon.

“It’s too easy.”

“The traps weren’t that threatening before. Now that I look at them, nothing seems to have changed, except that the devices have been restored.”

“That’s strange.”

Namgung Mucheon tapped the torso of the wooden man rolling on the ground.

‘Why did you set traps only with things that are easy to deal with?’

I used the Sankong Poison to destroy internal energy and created traps that could be dealt with without internal energy.

At this level, isn’t it possible to move forward while taking the hit even if you weren’t prepared?

‘I don’t know if it’s detailed or sloppy.’

No, perhaps it could be said that the trap was prepared poorly and was actually well-prepared.

How far did I go in like that? At some point, I felt a wind blowing from in front of me. The refreshing scent of the forest wafted in on the wind.

“The exit will appear soon.”

As No-un said, we went a little further and came to a fork in the road.

The wind was blowing from one of them.

No-un said, pointing in the direction the wind was blowing.

“This is the exit. If you turn the corner of the cave, it will lead you straight outside. But, once you go out, you can’t come back in.”

“Is the entrance disappearing?”

“Yes. The moment you go out, the entrance to the cave disappears without a trace. To re-enter the cave, you have to go back to the entrance you came from.”

It wasn’t difficult to understand.

I’ve already experienced the entrance disappearing before my eyes once when I entered the cave.

“What should we do, Senior Sword Emperor?”

Namgung Mucheon, who had been thinking for a moment, turned the question to Seolhwa.

“What do you want to do?”

The answer to the question was already decided.

I didn’t come here to give up and leave.

I couldn’t go back when I hadn’t figured out or achieved anything yet.

“I want to go further. It’s too bad to give up after coming this far. I want to go, Grandpa.”

“Okmaegeom. Have you been there since then?”

“I went and saw it.”

“Was it dangerous?”

“There is no danger. It’s just that…”

“?”

As No-un was about to say something, he pointed to the opposite path. It was not the exit, but the path leading inside the building.

“It would be better for you to see it for yourself rather than let me explain it to you. This road doesn’t end that far, so go and see for yourself.”

It was a somewhat ambiguous answer.

However, Namgung Mucheon also agreed with his granddaughter’s words that it was a waste to give up after coming this far.

Namgung Mucheon, who had been thinking for a moment, went ahead down the road opposite the exit.

And soon he was able to understand what Noun meant.
