The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 45
Only Krnovel
It was safe to say that four forces were currently clashing in Sapa.
The original ruling class, the three major powers of the Sa Sect and the Apostolic Alliance.
People in black targeting them.
Although the Four Horsemen are dead, the Cheonglimbu still has three minions remaining.
Dang Bi-hyeon is targeting those minions.
Among them, the man in black has been openly targeting Sima Sega, the third most powerful figure in the Sect.
Caw, caw.
“No, what kind of crow…” .”
A warrior shaded his eyes with his hands and looked up at the sky.
A small black crow circled above the group.
Currently, Samaan and Chae Se-yeon had stopped their carriage in front of the village.
After asking around, I found out that there was a carriage maker in the village who had been called in for repairs.
Samaan got off the carriage and immediately looked for Chae Se-yeon.
“God Sozer! “Are you not hurt?”
“Sama Xiaoze, are you okay?”
Chae Se-yeon gently clenched her fist to hide her chapped palm while snatching the spear.
I glanced at Dang Bi-hyeon while being a companion to Sima An who was hanging on to me.
He was talking to a man who was repairing a carriage.
“How is it?”
“To be honest, it’s cheaper to build a new one than to repair it.”
“We have to leave the road urgently, so repairs are inevitable.”
“Even if you repair it, it’s a problem. If you go just a little bit, the wheel will break… .”
The man slightly rolled the wheel with his hand.
Then the front wheel was helplessly separated from the carriage.
When the carriage tilted to the side where the wheel fell off, Dang Bi-hyeon stretched out his arm and supported it.
The man smiled shyly and scratched the back of his head.
“It will be like this approximately every hour. And if the wheels were in such dire condition, the probability that the bottom of the carriage would fall off wouldn’t be that low… .”
Dang Bi-hyeon slowly began to get a sense of what the man was pointing at in his mind.
“It means that this carriage cannot be revived.”
“Both. yes.”
Caw, caw.
Ominously, the crow was still flying over the group.
Even though it would be common to go up the hill where the corpse is.
Chae Se-yeon, who had barely removed Sima An, approached the carriage.
“how long does it take?”
“I guess I’ll have to walk.”
Chae Se-yeon, who heard the conversation just before, lowered her head.
As if they had unintentionally overheard, the warriors who had survived the battle brought their horses with them.
“Even though it may not be as comfortable as a carriage, you can use our horses.”
“you’re right. “This guy is so docile.”
While Chae Se-yeon turned her head and dealt with the warriors, Dang Bi-hyeon gave the man who made the carriage the price.
“I will leave the carriage outside on the road.”
“yes. Have a safe trip.”
Dang Fei-hyeon, who had sent the man, suddenly looked up at the sky.
I felt helpless, similar to being caught up in a huge storm and not being able to control my body properly.
Caw, caw.
The crow did not know how Dang Bi-hyeon was feeling and just continued to cry.
Dang Feixian’s eyes followed the crow.
I narrowed my eyebrows.
“… miss.”
“Uh, huh?”
Dang Fei-hyeon, who had strengthened his eyesight through internal energy, looked directly at the crow.
The crow stopped crying and quietly increased its altitude.
As if he had noticed Dang Bi-hyeon’s persistent gaze.
“That crow has four eyes.”
“what?”
At that moment, the crow flapped its wings.
By the time the warriors who heard Dang Bi-hyeon’s voice raised their heads, the crow had already disappeared at a speed that could not be considered an ordinary crow.
One of the warriors muttered.
“… “I’ve heard of a crow with two pairs of wings, but this is my first time seeing a crow with four eyes.”
“Oh, that one that was discovered last year?”
The warriors did not take Dangbihyeon’s discovery as a big deal and talked about spiritual objects.
Samaan suddenly approached and explained this to Chae Se-yeon.
“In fact, there are many places south of the Yangtze River that have not been explored, and are full of rough terrain that makes it difficult for people to live.”
Although it is not that common, it is not that rare to come across a spirit object.
Chae Se-yeon seemed to agree with Samaan’s words.
Dang Bi-hyeon’s thoughts were different.
It was not easy to understand.
‘The four-eyed crow is a spirit creature, and it was observing us. ‘The two are completely separate issues.’
If it is a spirit object, it is natural to avoid Dang Bi-hyeon and his group.
This is because the presence of air power can be read to some extent.
The crow boldly attempted to reconnoitre the yard where the elites of the Sima family and the supreme masters Dang Feixian and Chae Seyeon were located.
There was no reason for it, such as someone in the group having incurred his grudge.
‘As if someone is controlling it.’
Dang Bi-hyeon gazed at the sky where the crows had disappeared.
Dark clouds began to gather.
He hoped that my worries were unfounded, but at the same time, he felt strangely certain that they were not.
“Whoa… .”
A sigh flowed out.
Things are getting complicated in Sapa.
* * *
Struggle, fight.
Raindrops fell on the tent.
A night when the sound of firewood crackling in a bonfire and the sound of rain come together to give you a languid feeling.
The woman in black, who had been unconscious the entire time, slowly opened her eyes.
“… … .”
My arms and legs were tied up, and my energy didn’t move as if I was covered in demonic blood.
‘If you point out the magic blood, the opponent will not be able to move his internal energy.’
The manager’s unique voice flashed through her mind.
‘If you are captured by the enemy and the demon blood is on you, do not attempt to free the magic blood. In return for solving it, you have to be prepared to lose coins.’
A bonfire came into the woman’s field of vision as her mind became somewhat clearer.
My back was a little cold.
It felt like I was thrown into a corner of the tent and hit by a steady rain.
I heard the chatter of warriors sitting around the campfire.
“Why didn’t you go into the guesthouse you found earlier at sunset?”
“Even if we have to sleep on the street every day, wouldn’t it be safer to get to Sadyoryun as soon as possible?”
“Ah, admit it.”
A warrior who was digging Byeokgokdan looked at the woman without thinking.
The eyes of the warrior and the woman met.
“Huh?”
“Why why.”
“He woke up.”
Samaan reacted before the warriors.
“You woke up?”
“Yes, miss.”
Samaan stood up and walked in front of the woman.
I bent my knees and looked down at the woman.
The woman looked up at Sima An with fierce eyes without hiding her murderous intent.
“name.”
“It’s thirty-three.”
“Is it a captain level like the Eighteenth?”
“okay.”
Samaan was lost in thought.
No. 33 seemed to be deliberately sarcastic towards her.
Seeing Number 33 raising the corners of his mouth with confidence, Sima An couldn’t help but ask.
“What’s so good that you’re laughing?”
“Do you think you can stop us?”
Suddenly, the noisy laughter of the people near the bonfire stopped.
Number 33 shouted.
“We are a black island. We will dye the wrong Baekdo Murim black. “We are the warriors of victory and the defenders of justice!”
Simase’s warriors tilted their heads at the same time.
Then they looked at each other with puzzled eyes.
“Justice… .”
“tutelary… ?”
Wahahahaha!
The warriors all burst into laughter.
Some even rolled on the floor due to sudden abdominal pain.
Everyone praised No. 33 with tears in their eyes, saying that it was the best performance of the year.
Number 33 was momentarily dumbfounded by the unexpected reaction.
It wasn’t like a warrior, but Sima An smiled calmly and stroked the head of the 33rd.
“How old are you?”
“I don’t know!”
“Just by looking at him, he looks three or four years younger than Kang So-hyeop. From now on, call me sister. “Otherwise, you’ll be in trouble.”
“Honey chestnuts? What crazy talk… .”
Shoot ahhh.
Sima An sighed as he stroked Thirty-Three’s head more vigorously.
“My father said that justice is the wildest illusion ever invented by man.”
“footle… … .”
Number 33’s lips trembled as he tried to protest again.
It felt like an intangible energy was constricting her neck.
When I made eye contact with Sima An, whose eyes were sunken, no voice came out at all.
It was an extremely familiar feeling.
‘How can a person with no inner strength live like this… .’
Samaan’s sigh did not mean that he was swallowing his sadness.
He is barely able to suppress his murderous desire to tear apart and kill No. 333 with his own hands.
Sima An gently squeezed Thirty-Three’s head.
“From now on, call me sister. got it?”
“… … .”
“answer.”
“… huh.”
Dang Bi-hyeon, who had been watching the scene from afar from the beginning, turned his head to the side.
I asked Chae Se-yeon, who was fiddling with the edge of her veil.
“Are you really going to go to Apostle Training with Simase Family?”
“uh.”
“It’s dangerous.”
“Hyuk.”
Chae Se-yeon lowered her voice.
“We need to reveal the relationship between Dang Bi-hyeon and Sapa.”
“… … .”
“Of course, I never imagined that this would become this dangerous.”
At that moment, the rain became even stronger.
Thanks to this, Chae Se-yeon’s words were not heard on the other side of the tent.
“But thanks to you, the Sima family trusts us completely, right? “Let’s move forward with this momentum and finish the mission.”
“… All right.”
It’s unfortunate that the mission is in danger.
However, it was also true that a good opportunity arose for Dang Bi-hyeon due to the death of the Four Horsemen.
‘If only I could kill the remaining three Cheongrimbu minions in Sapa.’
Apart from the Sapa civil war, he was able to weaken the Cheonglimbu.
Dang Bi-hyeon got up from his seat and headed to the bonfire.
Because the atmosphere was full of laughter, the warriors greeted Dang Bi-hyeon with excited voices.
“Kang Sohyeop!”
“Please sit next to me!”
The topic of conversation was definitely number 33.
“Did you hear what he said?”
“no.”
“No, I don’t know… .”
Dang Fei-hyeon smiled after hearing the details.
“That’s fun.”
At that time, Samaan hinted at a suggestion.
“Kang So-hyeop, would you please give this guy a name?”
“What’s your name?”
“yes. “It feels a bit weird to keep calling someone thirty-three.”
Dang Bi-hyeon, who was handed the Byeokgokdan by the warrior next to him, stiffened his expression.
Without thinking at all, I just said the name that came to mind.
“Short-lived.”
“Short life? “What does it mean?”
“What does it mean? It means that you will die soon.”
Wahaha!
At the moment when No. 33, or rather Danmyeong, mentioned ‘Guardian of Justice,’ Junha burst out laughing.
The warrior who handed me the Byeokgokdan slapped his knee.
“Oh my gosh, Kang Sohyeop has become a complete Sapa warrior!”
Tang Feixian just smiled softly without saying a word.
It wasn’t stained by Sapa.
The day I lost my family name.
The day I became a martial artist.
The day I lost Guard Yang due to my mistake.
It was just a glimpse of the hidden veil of my twisted nature that I had kept since that day.
Anyway, thanks to this, the atmosphere in the tent was ripe.
Soon, more firewood was added to the bonfire, and everyone settled down to sleep.
It was easy to get to Sadoryeon by carriage, but it took quite some time to get there on foot.
* * *
Fortunately, there have been no attacks by the so-called ‘black bandits’ since then.
It was worrying that only a small number remained, but they reached the village near the Sadyoryeon without additional fighting.
The reason could be found in the information Jangsaeng told me before his death.
“Jang Saeng said that the purpose of the black sword was to strike the three major powers of the Four Sects at the same time.”
“Dispersion of troops.”
“That’s right.”
Many, many, many.
Chae Se-yeon, who was riding a horse with Sima An, saw Dang Bi-hyeon.
“If you go to the Apostolic Association, the other three powerful figures will also be there.”
“This is something that threatens the entire Sapa, and the Sadyoryan was created to prepare for such an event.”
Sima An, looking at the two people getting along well, got off his horse.
It was in front of a huge guest house located in the middle of the village.
“Let’s stay here today.”
“The sun is still high in the sky… .”
“You can rest assured that this guest house was purchased by Sega for its slave business.”
Samaan added, handing over the reins to his subordinate.
“It’s a day’s journey from here to Sadyoryun, so take it easy today.”
Then there was no reason to decline.
Chae Se-yeon got off the horse.
The guesthouse, which did not yet have a signboard, was several times wider than a typical guesthouse and was four stories tall.
“The scale is amazing.”
“Right? “Let’s go up to the top floor.”
Chae Se-yeon followed Samaan up the stairs.
He noticed someone greeting Sima An in the hallway and grabbed the collar of Dang Feixian, who was following him.
I turned my head.
Dang Bi-hyeon and Chae Se-yeon’s eyes met.
The hand holding the collar was trembling.
Dang Bi-hyeon frowned and sensed Chae Se-yeon’s emotions.
‘enemy?’
Chae Se-yeon whispered.
“Murim feat… !”
