The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 102



Only Krnovel

Dang Bi-hyeon, who had completely lost his energy, asked.

“I’m just asking, just in case. Are you sleeping well at night these days?”

“Are you still sleepwalking?”

“… … .”

“I’m having a nightmare. “Very rarely.”

Chae Se-yeon showed a bitter smile.

“When I was receiving teachings from the Great Lord, at one point I looked back and saw blood flowing from between his eyes.”

“… … .”

“It’s terrible. “I don’t think he wanders around at night though.”

Chae Se-yeon shook off the loneliness from her expression and looked at Dang Bi-hyeon.

She smiled.

Dimples appeared.

“Thanks to you.”

Immediately after that, Chae Se-yeon’s smile gradually subsided.

It wasn’t Dang Bi-hyeon’s fault.

“… “Who is this person coming now?”

“I have a guess.”

Is it because I have no intention of hiding it?

Dang Bi-hyeon and Chae Se-yeon, whose senses became very sensitive, caught the presence of someone.

The person who turned the corner and appeared was none other than Nagyeol.

“hmm? Were you training?”

“It was a simple sparring session in preparation for the finals of the Hubei Festival.”

“For something simple, you sweat quite a bit?”

Na-gyeol, who responded to Dang Bi-hyeon’s words, walked into the training hall.

It looked like a single person walking, but there was no sound at all.

“I have dignity today.”

Na-gyeol, who spoke something unfamiliar, released his hands that were behind his back.

He wasn’t just hiding behind his back, he was hiding a thin book.

The book was brand new and stiff.

“After rummaging through the library, I gathered a harvest.”

Nagyeol smiled brightly.

“Would you like to listen?”

* * *

Nagyeol sat in his office and opened a book.

“This is a manuscript written over a hundred years ago, and it is a book containing eyewitness accounts and legends about various relics discovered in the central plains.”

“The name of the relic used by Tang Feixian is Lanya Abyss.”

Dang Bi-hyeon glanced at Na-gyeol.

Although he had a bad mind, he could be said to be outstanding in terms of his intelligence in finding the identity of the cloak.

That is why, as an official of the Cheonglimbu, he was able to rise to the position of commander-in-chief of the Murim Alliance.

Nagyeol’s finger pointed at a part of the book.

“A cloak that emits black fog when injected with energy. “The fog can be manipulated at will by the user.”

“You used this to outwit Joe Danju.”

Chae Se-yeon narrowed her eyes and looked at the book.

Nagyeol read the contents out loud.

“The last time the Lanya Abyss was revealed was two hundred years ago, and it is a relic used by the leader of a large-scale magic bandit group that flowed into Hundred Thousand Mountains after a subjugation order was issued. It is known that after the Heavenly Demon personally came forward and slaughtered the demonic enemies, the Demonic Cult retrieved it and kept it.”

A transcribed version of an excerpt from an earlier record.

If you think about it, there were many paths in between, but Na-gyeol spoke with confidence, so it seemed like enough cross-verification had been done.

“When he killed the previous great lord, he allied himself with the Sa Sect, but now he has reached out to the Demonic Cult.”

At Na-gyeol’s words, Chae Se-yeon silently looked at the book.

On behalf of her, who was lost in thought, Dang Bi-hyeon asked a question to obtain additional information.

“Are there any downsides?”

“disadvantage?”

“If the author had compiled this book for the Murim Alliance, wouldn’t he have left any shortcomings or clues to strategies?”

“Oh, there was something like that.”

Nagyeol’s hand turned the book to the next page.

“here. “The consumption of internal energy is extreme, so even if you have a transcendental state, a state of peace, or higher, you cannot utilize it to your heart’s content.”

Dang Bi-hyeon’s eyes turned to the next verse.

The moment he was about to open the door, Chae Se-yeon spoke first.

“It is said that if you get the hang of it, you can contain physical power in the black energy.”

Unlike Dang Bi-hyeon, Chae Se-yeon was reading the section that listed the strengths and possibilities of Lan Ya Abyss.

She clenched her fists.

“We must catch him before he gains more valuables and allies.”

Nagyeol joked.

“There’s probably no one around now who doesn’t know that.”

“… “If you just say things like that and it feels like everyone doesn’t feel the severity as much as I do.”

Chae Se-yeon lowered her eyes.

“It must be a mistake… .”

As if her words sounded very emotional, Nagyeol frowned and pursed her lips.

Either way, Dang Bi-hyeon was lost in thought.

What caught his attention was a minor suspicion written briefly by the author.

‘There is a popular saying that the more you use this cloak, the more blind you become. However, this is close to an unconfirmed rumor.’

If you use it continuously, your eyesight will decline.

If this were true, Tang Feixian needed to be more careful in his use of Lanya Abyss.

It seems necessary to remember that it is a relic that already consumes a lot of internal energy, so special care is needed in many ways.

‘Anyway, now is the time to focus on the Hubei Festival.’

I would be active as Yuhyeok for the rest of the fall, so Ranya Abyss was a later problem.

It’s been about an hour since Na-gyeol and Chae Se-yeon talked about the Abyss of Ranya.

“I’ll leave this manuscript here just in case.”

“Total military.”

Chae Se-yeon stopped Na-gyeol, who was about to leave, with words.

“There’s something I couldn’t tell you about the mission to infiltrate Sapa.”

“hmm? “If there was such a thing, you should have said it sooner.”

“It was very hectic.”

Chae Se-yeon asked a question.

“List of Destruction Destruction.”

“… … .”

“Is this a name you’ve ever heard of?”

The smile disappeared from Nagyeol’s face.

His mouth, which was staring straight at Chae Se-yeon, opened very slowly.

“… at all.”

“Is that so.”

“What does that mean?”

“We investigated the office of one of the victims of an unidentified beast in Sapa, and that’s where we found it.”

“That list?”

“yes.”

Dang Fei-hyeon remained silent.

Na-gyeol also quietly waited for Chae Se-yeon to continue speaking.

There was a tension in the office that only those who knew the whole story could sense.

“The contents of it matched the list found in the office of Baekpo Merchant Jeoksaeng a while ago.”

In other words, the list of Jeoksaeng that was handed over to Chae Hyun-hwa without any results because the names were not written down.

He was also on the list of people who will destroy all evil.

Chae Se-yeon, who reached this point without knowing any truth, continued.

“The leaders of the political faction and the executives of the Apostolic Alliance are sharing the same list. “There is something.”

Na-gyeol looked at Chae Se-yeon, listening the whole time without changing his expression.

Eventually, he gave an answer that seemed to have been calmly organized in his head.

“That’s useful information. “I will send someone to investigate and let you know when I get the results.”

“… Is there really nothing that comes to mind?”

Chae Se-yeon was curious about whether there was a connection somewhere due to the position of the general military, who had access to more information than herself.

However, that question caught Na-gyeol off guard without her knowledge.

Perhaps Chae Se-yeon’s unconsciousness may have assembled suspicions with animal instincts.

For an instant, Nagyeol’s expression cracked.

Dang Bi-hyeon was quietly watching the scene.

Nagyeol barely opened his mouth.

“… “I can’t feel it at all.”

“is that so. That’s too bad.”

Nagyeol turned his back.

He went out of the office and tidied up his clothes.

Lastly, advice was given to the finalists, Dang Bi-hyeon and Chae Se-yeon.

“Don’t forget your plans for tonight. “Wouldn’t it be a shame if we were eliminated before the game even started?”

Right after Nagyeol left.

Dang Bi-hyeon looked at Chae Se-yeon and tilted his head.

“What are you saying is happening this evening?”

“The finals are drawn up when the participants gather together. I did not know?”

“yes.”

“If you don’t attend, you will be eliminated. “We can go together later.”

It was an important position for Tang Fei-hyeon, who had decided to remain in the main election until the arrival of the Emperor.

He nodded to Chae Se-yeon.

“We can stop by the medicine house and take him to Namgungtae.”

* * *

The resilience of unmanned vehicles is truly amazing.

Namgung-tae, who suffered from serious burns and his entire arm was red and pale, was declared fully recovered the day before the finals.

“I have to keep going to the pharmacy. “Because I got a cavity.”

“Is it serious?”

“See for yourself. “Auggie, Auggie.”

Tang Feixian ignored the ridicule coming from behind him.

Asking people to look here with their mouths wide open could have seemed comical.

The way they were whispering in groups seemed like they were talking behind Namgungtae’s back.

No, the gossip behind my back was correct.

“It’s so ugly, it’s so ugly…” .”

“… , let’s see… .”

“… Like a moron… … .”

The parties involved may have said that they were talking quietly, but the inner meaning could be fully inferred from the words heard in between.

“Never mind.”

“Do you know these people?”

“I know.”

Namgung-tae adjusted his posture comfortably and crossed his arms.

“They are the late exponents of a family that is influential and prestigious in the region, but cannot be called one of the five major families.”

“Is it jealousy?”

“Well, I guess it’s a mixture of several things. “There are cases where that group has suffered damage due to the Five Generations.”

Before the announcement of the match began, Nam Gung-tae briefly informed Dang Bi-hyeon who the people who imitated him were.

“Among them, there are only three families worth paying attention to. “Hebei Paengga, Jinju Paengga, Gongsun Se.”

“Isn’t Shandong music also included?”

“Ah, if you look broadly at the standard, it’s enough.”

Namgung-tae’s explanation continued.

“If we count the families that were part of the Five Great Families in the past, there are four of them. However, in order to maintain the level of the quasi-five generations, the Shandong music family must be excluded.”

“Right.”

Dang Bi-hyeon was convinced.

There were all sorts of rumors I picked up while wandering the streets in my past life, but there were almost no stories about Shandong Musicians.

The remaining three were at least indirectly involved in the pursuit of Tang Fei-hyeon, so I had clear memories of them.

Dang Feixian’s gaze turned to the center of the group.

The woman in the middle listens to the gossip of the late exponents, but does not participate in the conversation herself.

She seemed to be the leader of the group.

“Gongsunhee.”

“… … .”

“I understand that you have eyes for her. “She was the soul of Confucius.”

Dang Bi-hyeon and Chae Se-yeon asked at the same time.

“You’re engaged to be married?”

“You really didn’t know?”

“I didn’t know.”

Dang Bi-hyeon and Chae Se-yeon, who even said they didn’t know, exchanged glances for a moment.

Soon Chae Se-yeon urged an explanation.

“What happened?”

“It was quite famous, but you don’t know about it. It’s no different from any other marriage conversation. “The adults in the family meet first to coordinate, and then the parties involved meet once.”

“After that?”

“It was all in vain as the party was destroyed before the story could progress any further.”

The reason why Chae Se-yeon suddenly showed interest was no different.

“There is a possibility that he is Tang Fei-hyeon’s assistant… .”

“That won’t be possible. “The Tang family was ruined before the family became deeply involved, and unless it was love at first sight, there would be no feelings left.”

Namgung-tae added.

“Gongsun Soje is famous for reaching the pinnacle faster than her brothers. “Putting aside his past or interests, he is a talent who would have no harm in recruiting him to the Chussaldae.”

“okay?”

“Above all, since we are currently married to General Commander Nagyeol, it would not be a bad thing to naturally have connections.”

“ah… .”

Dang Bi-hyeon looked at Chae Se-yeon’s complexion.

Although it didn’t show much on the outside, it seemed like interest was dropping.

She muttered without realizing it, and Namgung-tae reacted reflexively.

“leaving out.”

“yes?”

“uh?”

“yes?”

“huh?”

Namgung-tae gave a puzzled look.

“You just said you were eliminated.”

“… ah. soliloquy.”
