Chapter 7: Return and Opening

The top floor of the pavilion where the Hwasan faction resides.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The elders and the first generation of disciples were maintaining a heavy silence.

But not only them.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Even the young and young volcano’s unmanned people kept their mouths shut and looked at their superiors with anxious eyes.

Regardless of whether you participated in or observed the Yongbongjihoe (龍鳳之會), the Yongbongjihoe itself was like a dream stage for young and talented martial artists.

“… … .”

“… … .”

However, they did not show any signs of excitement, which clearly showed how serious the atmosphere of the Volcano faction was.

“… Again?”

The girl, whose eyes were filled with intelligence, glanced back and frowned.

Among the three great disciples of Hwasan, An So-so was the most promising genius among the young riders and was scheduled to participate in the Yongbongjihoe.

“…okay.”

Then the young disciples around him whispered in very low voices.

“… The Sword Lord, the Great Elder and the Master of the Gate.”

“… I just met someone from Luoyang Swordsmanship School, and it looks like they’re fighting again.”

They are still children, but because they are children, they are much more sensitive to the atmosphere around them.

“ha….”

Ansoso sighed.

“… Everything got messed up because of that damn war, that damn power struggle.”

“… That’s right.”

She looked at the surrounding pavilions.

“Wow…!”

And the first thing that caught my eye was none other than this.

It was the appearance of young and young warriors from Sichuan Tangga.

Thanks to the blessings of the four princes, a festive atmosphere was created on one of the top floors of the pavilion.

“under…!”

‘There’s no separate portrait house here…!’

She then looked around the surrounding pavilions, but it was not easy to find familiar faces who were participating in the Yongbong branch together.

“… … .”

A look of discontent grew on her face.

Waaaa …

Down there now.

A huge crowd gathered in Luoyang for the Yongbong branch meeting, but in reality.

What was being cheered for now was nothing more than the triumphal procession of the Luoyang Swordsmen, which had nothing to do with the Yongbongjihoe.

“Ughhh…!”

Her cheeks puffed out.

Then, at that time.

Swish swish.

“… … !”

Someone came up to Ansoso without warning and patted her head.

And at the touch of that familiar hand, she immediately recognized who he was and her complexion brightened.

“Disciple Jangmun…!”

Her counterpart, Hwasan Sword Dragon Gam Woo-hyeon, smiled bitterly at the title of her long-suffering disciple.

“Now, even if I’m not a long-term subject, you’re still saying that? Just… .”

He said lightly.

“Just call me Sa Baek Jo (師伯祖).”

“…under.”

Anso-so turned her head with a sigh, her cheeks puffed out in discontent.

“… If the long-disciple does not become the long-disciple, who will be the one to lead this volcano in the future?”

It was quite a sharp remark for a girl still in her teens.

“Well, that’ll be later. It’ll be later. That’s more important.”

However, the middle-aged Volcanic Sword Dragon Gam Woo-hyeon smiled and asked An So-so, who was his daughter’s age, while lightly saying this.

“Wasn’t there anyone talking about the Grand Duke at the place where the participants gathered in advance to register?”

“Yes? Grand Duke? Which grand duke are you talking about? Are there only one or two families in this vast Central Plains?”

Knowing, but pretending not to know.

It was a typical adolescent reaction.

“excuse me.”

Volcanic Sword Dragon Gam Woo-Hyeon smirked and stretched out his hand to point down below.

“The owner of the carriage that is coming in now. I am the Grand Master Yeon So-hyeon.”

Woohoooooooooooooooooooooo…!

“… … !”

As if the cheers up until now were nothing, a huge cheer erupted that made Anso So’s body tremble and gave her goosebumps.

“… that was practically everything.”

“hmm…?”

She answered with a slight frown, as if trying not to show her surprise.

“Everyone, every single one of them. They were just talking about the Archduke.”

“Hmm, of course it was.”

Anso So glared at him and puffed out her cheeks at his answer, which she said was obvious.

The cute sight made Volcanic Sword Dragon Kam Woo-Hyeon burst into laughter, but a corner of his heart was bitter.

‘This child, too, if he were just a little bit older, I would have taken him to the North… .’

I tried hard to suppress the image of the dead young people coming to mind.

“Haha. Actually… .”

Then, he smiled playfully for no reason, bent his knees, and spoke to Anso-so as if he were telling her a big secret.

“I met the Grand Duke of Yeonseonhyeon in the North.”

“… Really?!”

Anso’s eyes grew as big as a king’s bell.

“You said you met him?! What was it like?! Did you talk to him?! Was he really the beautiful prince like the rumors say?!”

Honest reaction.

Volcanic Sword Dragon Gam Woo-Hyeon snickered and asked a question instead of answering.

“What were the opinions of the other contestants?”

“It was largely divided into two categories.”

“Two categories?”

Anso So, who wanted to hear the answer from the Volcanic Sword Dragon, quickly answered his question.

“Those who want to believe the rumors about the Archduke and those who don’t.”

“hmm….”

“In fact, isn’t that the only way?”

She said with a shrug.

“This year, I am fifteen years old. This is my first time participating in the Yongbong branch, and I am aiming for the names of Yong (龍) and Bong (鳳). And most of the contestants there are in their twenties, aren’t they?”

“yes.”

“But, that Archduke is seventeen? He’s the same age as us?”

Anso So laughed as if she couldn’t believe it, then said.

“There are bound to be people who simply cannot believe it.”

“indeed.”

Volcanic Sword Dragon Gam Woo-hyeon approached the railing and asked An So-so as he watched the iron fortress that Yeon So-hyeon was riding slowly march away.

“you?”

“yes?”

He asked again, without taking his eyes off the carriage.

“Soso, what is your position?”

“…I am.”

She paused for a moment to consider her words, sighed, and shrugged.

“…Actually, I don’t know.”

With that answer, she averted her gaze as if embarrassed by her answer.

But, rather.

“Good attitude.”

Volcanic Sword Dragon Gam Woo-Hyeon nodded and praised her attitude.

“Rather than hastily judging and judging what you cannot see or know, it is true wisdom to know how to say that you do not know what you do not know.”

The eyes of the Volcanic Sword Dragon Gam Woo-Hyeon narrowed.

How many people died in the North because they couldn’t do it?

“…Is that so?”

“okay.”

At An So-so’s trembling reaction, the volcanic sword dragon Gam Woo-hyeon called her closer and made her look down.

“Take a good look at it.”

“yes…?”

Ansoso didn’t know though.

Just like Volcanic Sword Dragon Gam Woo-Hyeon.

All the great powers that now occupy the upper floors of the various pavilions, one at a time.

He was calling promising children to the railing and making them look down.

“Age doesn’t matter to him.”

Squeak-!

The iron fortress slowly stopped in the middle of the square, and the spirits began to chant powerfully.

“Preconceptions, hearsay, and common sense are all meaningless.”

Crunch.

As the doors to the massive iron fortress began to open, guided by what appeared to be twin maids, the one introducing the procession raised his internal energy to the max and shouted.

“By order of His Majesty the Emperor, he led the Second Northern War to a great victory as the commander of the Northern Suppression Force…!”

Ooooooooo…!

Waaaaaaaah…!

The people’s shouts gradually grew louder, with voices echoing through the halls.

“His Majesty the Emperor’s teacher, and the grand duke of our Luoyang Sword Family!”

Damn it.

The voice of the person who was shouting out the introduction while burning internal energy was cut off.

“… … !”

but.

No one found it strange.

This was because the cheers that had been growing louder also disappeared.

“… … !”

“… … !”

Heart pounding.

In a situation where time seemed to have stopped, only colorful paper flower petals were fluttering and falling from all directions.

Thump thump.

My heart was pounding like crazy.

“… … .”

Gulp.

Anso So, the third disciple of the volcano, swallowed dry saliva without realizing it in that incomprehensible situation.

‘What is this…?’

In her ears, she could hear the monologue of the Volcanic Sword Dragon, Gam Woo-Hyeon.

“… Is this his presence, revealing everything without hiding anything?”

“… … ?!”

At those words, Anso So’s eyes widened as if they were going to tear apart.

One person.

Does that mean that by revealing yourself and just your presence, you can silence everyone in this vast space?

Thud, thud.

As he stepped down from the carriage on the prepared steps, a pitch-black silk overcoat fluttered slowly in the wind along with his hair on his shoulders.

Inside was an unusual-looking piece of ceremonial armor.

Swish.

He slowly raised his head and looked up at the pavilions.

“That person is….”

In that overwhelmingly strong presence, the voice of the Volcanic Sword Dragon Gam Woo-hyeon was heard in An So-so’s ears.

“Yeonsohyun.”

and.

Kam Woo-hyun defined Yeon So-hyun in short but powerful words.

“That person is, in my opinion, the absolute being of this era.”

“… … !”

In that regard.

Anso’s eyes grew wide as if they were going to tear apart.

* * *

‘The author…!’

The Sword King of the Namgung family suddenly got up from his seat without realizing it.

‘Is that Yeonseonhyeon…!’

The Empress of the Hwangbo family also stood up without realizing it and grabbed the railing.

“…uh.”

Namgung Bukwi, the head of the Namgung family, approached them, looked down quietly, and opened his mouth.

“Elders.”

Dare.

He had been taking a step back because he had not been able to join in on the conversations of the elders until now.

But I couldn’t sit still any longer.

“It is truly an enormous presence.”

He wanted to laugh out loud, but in the frozen atmosphere, he couldn’t even laugh properly.

Instead, he quickly got to the point.

“How is it…?”

His gaze briefly glanced at Yeon So-hyeon far below, then quickly looked away.

It was because I felt like I was meeting Yeon So-hyeon’s gaze as she looked up and looked around, and it gave me an eerie feeling for no reason.

‘Wow, what a great master!’

He stuck out his tongue.

And then he turned his head and opened his mouth.

“In your eyes, elders, he is…?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

No answer came back.

The Sword King of the Uncrowned Emperor.

The immortal and undefeated empress.

Two supreme beings.

These are the people whose names are never left out when discussing the strongest people of this era.

They are as if they were nails driven in.

Still, I couldn’t take my eyes off Yeonseonhyun below.

“… … .”

“… … .”

And, the appearance.

somewhere.

It felt bizarre.

“…Elders-?”

“-That’s.”

The voice of the Sword King, looking down, was deeply quivering.

“… … ?!”

‘Father’s voice is shaking?!’

I, the head of the Namgung family, swear that my father’s voice trembles like this.

I’ve never heard of it even once.

“… … .”

The Empress of the Hwangbo family was not saying anything.

but.

Her face was as pale as the Sword King, and her hands holding the railing were shaking and turning white.

“Elders…?”

When the head of the Namgung family was unable to hide his bewilderment at the unbelievable sight, his father.

The Sword King’s voice continued.

“What the hell is that…?”

“yes?”

A tone of speech that makes it seem as if one is referring to something other than a human being.

The head of the Namgung family tilted his head, not understanding.

“What are you saying-?”

at that time.

“People of this Central Plains country, and the Luoyang Sword Family and the families of Luoyang.”

As if to mock all those distances and heights.

Yeon So-hyeon’s voice, which was incomparably clear, reflected off the high-rise buildings and echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

“This Yeon So-hyeon is back.”

and.

The response came back thunderously.

Woohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…!

It was a reaction that felt like the heavens and the earth were going to explode.

And Yeon So-hyeon raised her hand and responded to the cheers, speaking to everyone.

“Right now, from this moment on, I declare the opening of the Luoyang Yongbongjihoe.”
