The Return of the Namgoong Clan’s Granddaughter - Chapter 158

Episode 158

* * *

Namgung Se-ga remained in Hwasan until the matter of Hwasan was settled.

Namgung Mucheon was needed to lift the hypnosis from the disciples who had not been able to get rid of it, and he was also asked by the elders of Hwasan to hold the funeral for the Namgung warriors who had died in this incident together at Hwasan.

Namgung Se-ga was like a benefactor to Hwasan, as he was able to avoid danger and cure Jang Moon-in’s illness.

As a recipient of his grace, Hwasan showed the utmost courtesy to Namgung Se-ga.

The conflicts between the sects and families that had distinguished the two forces before the incident were no longer important.

Yoo Kang respectfully took the lottery ticket from Namgung Mucheon.

“I meet the head of the Namgung family.”

“I heard the story. I heard he said he was leaving the Hwasan faction.”

Namgung Mucheon heard the whole story about Yoo Kang through Noun.

Because Yoo Kang had spent a long time with Namgung Se-ga to resolve this matter, No-woon had been paying attention to him.

Even if that wasn’t the case, No-woon knew that Nam-gung-mu-cheon had a favorable view of Yoo-gang.

The reason why he went out of his way to inform them of the news was because he thought that Yu-gang, who was leaving the volcano alone, might be able to receive help from Nam-gung.

“It won’t be easy.”

Namgung Mucheon looked at Yu Kang’s dantian.

I couldn’t tell for sure until I looked closely, but it didn’t seem to have any energy as I’d heard.

“I know. But, there is something I have to do.”

“I’m not trying to stop you. If a person wants to achieve something, they’ll leave the nest. But.”

Namgung Mucheon took something out of his bosom and threw it at Yu Kang.

Yu Kang’s eyes widened as he accepted it absentmindedly.

It was a sac. And it was quite heavy.

“Is there really a need to starve? A full stomach gives you strength, and when you have strength, you can achieve what you want.”

“… .”

“Your private tutors may have taken care of some things for you, but how much would the Taoist priests, who are known to keep a distance from money, have taken care of? If you go out, you will spend more money than you think, so save some money.”

For some reason, I felt like crying.

I wanted to say thank you, but my voice was about to tremble, so I clenched my teeth, strained my eyes, and just looked at Namgung Mucheon.

“Take this too.”

Again, something flew in.

It was a plaque with Namgung Mucheon’s name written on it.

“If you run out of money or need anything, take it to Namgung Se-gae. I will give you whatever you want.”

Namgung Se-ga is the head of the household.

The weight of the shield of the Heavenly Dragon Sword Emperor, one of the top ten masters, was more precious than a thousand pieces of gold.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

Yoo Kang looked at him again with surprised eyes.

“My lord, this is too much for me….”

“Didn’t you protect my granddaughters in the waterway?”

He took care of Hwarin and was stabbed with a sword in Seolhwa’s place.

Namgung Mucheon knew all about it.

“It was thanks to you that my old friend Ok Maegum was able to survive, so you are my benefactor.”

“that….”

Yoo Kang wanted to say that he was grateful that his long-suffering relative had been saved, but he was unable to continue speaking.

Now he was no longer his own master.

“Don’t think too much of it. It’s not enough. It’s a rule in my family to return the favor tenfold, but since you suddenly left, I’ve been preparing in a hurry, so it’s so shabby.”

How dare you say that. It was ridiculous.

Who could call the Namgung Se-ga’s swordsmanship cheap?

But because of Namgung Mucheon’s words, he could no longer refuse his reward.

If he had refused by saying it was excessive, it would have been like lowering the distribution of Namgung Se-ga.

Yoo Kang bent down, holding the scepter and the shield.

“I will gratefully accept it. I will never waste the money and the plaque you have given me.”

“Okay. You can go now.”

Yoo Kang bowed to Namgung Mucheon again and walked away.

As I was passing by him, Namgung Mucheon spoke.

“Go east.”

Yoo Kang looked back at him.

east?

He was about to ask why he was going east, but he bowed again and headed east.

I thought that since I was just walking without a destination, what would it matter where I went?

Namgung Mucheon muttered softly as he watched the river moving away.

“You are going to take a difficult path. If you are lucky, you will meet a destiny. So fly high and fly.”

He looked up at the sky.

It was a particularly bright night with a full moon.

“Where is my granddaughter and what is she doing?”

* * *

Hooooooo… .

Black smoke surrounded Seolhwa.

Seolhwa opened her eyes.

How much time has passed?

Sometimes the pain would surge through me, and sometimes I would feel dizzy.

The power contained in the fragments of the Imoogi far exceeded the expectations of the tale. No, is it natural to not even be able to predict the power of the Imoogi?

[Thank you for your hard work.]

Seolhwa looked at the snake approaching her side.

The massive body disappeared, and a small snake remained beside it.

And then I looked again, and the empty darkness of the space had disappeared, and had been replaced by an ordinary forest full of grass and trees.

[All the power has been injected into you. The formation of this space is maintained, but it only blocks those who enter without permission, and this too will soon disappear.]

I see

He said that he somehow felt like he couldn’t feel any presence around him.

I thought we had entered deep into the mountains, but it was because of the formation blocking access.

[Before the formation disappears, get used to my power. This is my territory, so it will be easy to control my power. If I leave the formation, the formation itself will disappear, so if you want to cultivate further, you must not leave this place.]

“How should I use my powers?”

[Write freely. Since I know what you think anyway, the power will move as you wish.]

hmm.

The most familiar thing was to put air power into the sword.

Seolhwa immediately drew her sword and wrapped it in her energy.

“!”

Thick, black smoke surrounded the sword. It was as if darkness surrounded the sword.

It was strong. Really, strong.

[Wow. You’re better than I thought. Even if you had my power, you wouldn’t be able to use it if you don’t understand the flow of power yourself. Have you already awakened the power?]

“!”

Seolhwa’s eyes shook slightly.

If you know the flow of air power, you can use it accordingly?

‘That means….’

Seol-hwa reached out her hand toward a stone a little distance away.

Black smoke swirled around the stone and the stone began to slowly rise.

[Hoo…]

‘It’s possible…!’

A thing that captures space.

A near-divine ability that only those who have reached the realm of Hwagyeong can achieve.

The realm of Seolhwa’s previous life was Hwagyeong.

Although it was a realm reached through bloodshed without enlightenment, the operation of energy was something he learned by directly using his power, so he had a basic understanding of it.

[How is this possible? Have you ever reached the realm of the flower world?]

“No way.”

Imoogi only saw Seolhwa’s wish through images created based on her memories, but he did not see all of her memories.

Although he had lent him his strength and they were now inseparable, Seolhwa still could not completely trust Imoogi, so she decided to keep quiet about what happened in her previous life.

Bam.

The stone soon lost its strength and fell.

[That’s because you’re not used to it yet. It’ll probably be awkward since you’re not moving the air force yourself.]

Although he had acquired great powers that were literally impossible to achieve in a lifetime, he was still extremely awkward at using them.

It feels like I’m moving someone else’s body.

I hold the glass and drink water, but it feels like I’m using someone else’s hands, not my own.

Hooooooo… .

I tried to raise my original internal energy.

The aura of climax, like a zealot, rose from her body as before.

‘This side is the same.’

[You can use your power as your power, and my power as my power. However, if you do not concentrate, the power will be cut off like before. Do not forget that the use of the power itself is based on your thoughts.]

“okay.”

Certainly, it was not easy to focus on operating the Imoogi’s aerodynamics because it had no sense of movement.

Using two powers simultaneously seemed particularly difficult.

‘I need time.’

It takes a lot of time and effort to become accustomed to this power.

[Hmm. We have a guest.]

As I was trying to move the air force again, the snake suddenly looked at one place.

[This is probably a road that not many people travel on. Thanks to you, there are a lot of customers.]

Are there a lot of guests?

‘Are you talking about your grandfather?’

Seolhwa looked where the snake was looking.

A familiar figure was wandering around the forest, looking around.

[Do you know him?]

“… I know that guy.”

It was Yoo Kang.

[That kid is quite unique. He has the power, but his body can’t use it. Did he get attacked?]

“…what?”

What does that mean?

A body that has power but can’t use it?

‘no way…!’

Oh, bloodline…?

Seolhwa ran to where Yugang was.

But I had to stop walking in front of him.

The end of the law.

Yoo Kang stood beyond the boundary.

“There’s something here….”

He was muttering and looking around when he suddenly stopped and looked straight ahead.

His gaze was fixed straight on Seolhwa.

‘Can you see… it…?’

no way.

Because of the Imoogi’s formation, it looks like just a rock cliff from the outside.

It’s as if I’m looking at myself….

“Is it… there?”

“!”

Seolhwa’s eyes shook slightly.

He was clearly looking at himself.

Yoo Kang’s lips curved into a deep curve.

“There it is.”
