The Party Will Not Fall - Chapter 86
Only Krnovel
“Yu Sohyeop!”
A woman who came down from the off-stage and was at eye level waved her hand.
“See you somewhere like this!”
“That’s right. Are you participating in the baktu battle?”
“yes! Surely it’s a small cooperative… ?”
Tang Feixian nodded.
Then the woman clenched her fists and smiled.
“The small cooperative is my savior, but I can’t stand it if it goes up against me!”
“Is there any reason why I need to get good grades?”
“ah! “There’s someone I’m looking for.”
The woman said as she put the large sword that had been placed on the floor on her back.
“I think I’ll have to join the Murim Alliance to see him.”
“You mean the Murim League?”
“yes! To do that, you have to rise high and attract attention!”
ha ha ha!
What was so good about it, the woman laughed heartily.
Her basic strength itself was enormous.
His voice was so loud that it made my ears tingle.
Dang Bi-hyeon decided to get to the point.
“Anyway, I told you my name last time, but I didn’t hear Sojeo’s name.”
“Did you?”
The woman nodded and placed both hands on her hips.
I finally knew her name.
“Please call me Sir!”
“Are you a foreigner?”
“yes!”
“I’m sorry, but may I know your last name?”
“Uh… . Well, just call me Sir!”
I don’t know why, but I feel embarrassed.
Even if you asked for more here, there was a high chance that it would only make you more wary, and in the end, your last name would not be revealed.
Dang Bi-hyeon stepped back to show that the business was over.
“I understand, Sir Soger. Well then I’ll just… .”
“yes! See you in the finals!”
With his voice not getting louder at all, Dang Bi-hyeon left the temple.
One person only performs once a day.
Since it is an event that takes place throughout the fall, there is plenty of time, but the number of participants is so large that even with hundreds of dancing stages, the dancing continues all day long.
Even though half of them are eliminated every day, the pattern will be similar for a few days.
Dang Bi-hyeon walked against the crowd heading to the festival site.
What filled his mind right now was neither the Hubei Festival nor the Gyeonggi.
‘Min Nam-geon.’
I desperately needed a way to kill him.

A languid afternoon as the sun sets in the sky.
It was a time when the warm wind with the lingering scent of summer was making people feel tired.
“I’m losing interest just watching them fight each other for several hours.”
Namgung Seobaek, who yawned while covering his mouth, stood up.
He turned around and gave a cursory greeting to Lee Yeop, as if he was about to take his hand.
“I’ll just head back.”
“The sons of the five generations have gathered together at sunset. Are they leaving already?”
Lee Yeop smiled bitterly.
Namgung Seobaek’s expression sank.
I could feel Namgoong Gon’s gaze subtly looking at me.
Namgung Seobaek was not swayed by Lee Yeop at all and just backed away.
“You can see it in the finals.”
Then, without hesitation, he left the VIP room.
Namgung-gon seemed quite embarrassed by Namgung Seo-baek’s coldness.
Namgoong-gon, who was about to say something in his defense, was closed by Lee Yeop’s hand gesture.
“Ice Jeonggeomje these days… You must be tired. “Isn’t that right?”
“Well, I guess so. ha ha ha… .”
Namgoong Gon, who openly ridicules the elders of his blood family, goes along with it without even knowing it.
Zhuge Jinwon, who had been quietly listening with his ears open, clicked his tongue inwardly at the sight.
Meanwhile, Sword Demon, who was watching the VIP table among the civilians, shook his butt and stood up.
‘I won’t miss this time.’
After carrying out his will, his eyes followed Nangong Seobaek.
There was more possibility than before.
The surrounding environment was smiling at the Sword Demon.
Pavilion merchants, fighters, single families, married men and women, members of the Hyeonmu dan, old men and women, ronin, groups of pilgrims, etc.
All kinds of people were moving in unpredictable directions.
No matter how good the police are, they can’t keep an eye out for all of them, so they won’t be caught if they distance themselves further than last time.
It was the moment when the Sword Demon thought so.
Paang!
Namgung Seobaek flew away with a sound of waves.
The Sword Demon gritted his teeth.
‘Did you notice me following you? ‘Are you just running?’
In any case, it shouldn’t get to the point where you can’t see it at all.
The sword demon accelerated his walking techniques.
Crash!
He frantically chased after Namgung Seobaek and before he knew it, he had lost his speed.
It was because Namgung Seobaek was heading to the outskirts of the city where there were no passers-by.
The Sword Demon pressed his back against the wall and craned his neck out of the corner.
The familiar back view of the target.
I was walking on the road out of Hubei.
The sword spirit frowned and craned his neck again to spy.
However, while he was hiding behind the wall for a moment, Namgung Seobaek’s new form suddenly disappeared.
“Where did you go again?”
“It’s here.”
Sreung!
A chill covered the Sword Demon’s body.
I couldn’t even move, let alone fight back.
It wasn’t just because of the sword stuck to his neck.
Cheok─.
“You’re used to stealth. “Who sent it?”
“… … .”
“answer.”
Damn it!
In an instant, my son-in-law was covered with chills.
Ice crystals formed on the wall, freezing the Sword Demon’s hands together.
A biting cold wind blew.
Nangong Seobaek’s eyes pierced through the sword spirit, but his mouth did not open until the end.
Namgung Seobaek changed his strategy.
“Actually, I don’t care who exactly it is. “Whether you are a member of the Murim Alliance or not, just answer that question.”
“… … .”
The Sword Demon remained silent.
Namgung Seobaek could no longer yield.
The blade touched the neck lightly.
“If you don’t tell me until the end, it means that I will regard you as a member of the Apostolic Training or Demonic Cult and that I won’t mind chopping up your limbs and feeding them to pigs, right?”
“… that’s right.”
“what.”
“Nagyeol, tell me to follow you… .”
The sword demon trailed off.
Steam escaped from his mouth.
My hands and feet were shaking because the temperature had reached extreme levels, exceeding that of winter.
“her. “I never thought I would reveal my name.”
Namgung Seobaek gathered his sword and energy.
Immediately after that, he struck the ice crystal that trapped the Sword Demon’s hand with his sword.
Kwajajajak!
The ice crystal shattered.
As my son-in-law recovered quickly, the heat came.
The Sword Demon held onto his hands, which had particularly dull senses due to being trapped in the ice crystal.
And then I knelt down towards the main street.
“haha.”
At this moment, Dang Bi-hyeon’s face appeared in Nangong Seo-baek’s mind.
He is adept at getting what he wants by psychologically pressuring his opponents.
Just as he did before at the mountain house of the thief from Nokrim, Namgung Seobaek opened his mouth here after pondering what Dang Bihyeon would have done.
“There is no evidence, but there is no reason not to believe it. There would be no need for a spy from Safa to follow a helpless old man.”
“Ugh… .”
“I have no intention of killing you.”
The Sword Demon’s red ears gradually regained their warmth.
Wetting his lips with his tongue, he slowly took his time and stood up.
When he turned his head, what came into view was a hand.
Namgung Seobaek held his sword back and held out his hand.
“We will see each other many times in the future, so let’s just say goodbye.”
“… … .”
“This is Namgung Seobaek. At least it’s called the Ice Crystal Sword Emperor.”
“… I don’t know the name. “He is called the Sword Demon.”
Namgung Seobaek’s gaze was filled with puzzlement.
“You don’t know?”
“I lost my memory. “Nagyeol took me in, but instead of finding my lost identity card, he told me to work for him in the meantime.”
Sword Demon.
It would have been better if three solid names had come out of that mouth, but it is characteristic information in its own way.
A subtle smile appeared on the lips of Namgung Seobaek, who got what he wanted.
“Yes, Sword Demon. “This is also fate, so if you need anything, come to me.”
“That doesn’t happen.”
If you follow him any further after being caught, it will only make Namgung Seobaek angry.
Namgung Seo-baek’s spicy hand exploded on the back of the Sword Demon’s head as he trudged back to the Murim Alliance.
Bah!
“Ahh!”
“You have to be respectful to adults, you little bastard. Do you know how old I am?”
* * *
“Why is someone who doesn’t concern themselves with such things suddenly using polite language?”
“Of course that’s an excuse. “I didn’t like how proud he was of following me, so I hit him.”
hideout.
Tang Feixian, sitting cross-legged, laid out a map of Hubei on the floor and stared at it intently.
Namgung Seobaek, who was leaning against the wall and watching the scene, struck the player.
“There is no point in taking risks and punishing people.”
“It means something to me.”
“know. I know, but even if you look at it, Min Nam-geon is already a lackey who was used and abandoned in the attack on the party gate. “I won’t help you.”
“Senior, you move for the greater good, right? I understand.”
“The intention behind talking too much about the cause is impure. Do you want to hit me on the back of the head too?”
Dang Fei-hyeon, who normally wouldn’t say a word, ignored Nangong Seo-baek’s words.
I didn’t take my eyes off the map.
Namgung Seobaek sighed.
“You are sensitive now. Cool your head.”
“it’s okay.”
“Dang Bi-hyeon, listen to me.”
Perfect!
Namgung Seobaek even sent a signal by snapping his fingers.
Tang Feixian sighed and stared at him.
“Judge properly. “Is this work absolutely necessary?”
“yes.”
There was no hesitation to be found in Dang Bi-hyeon’s answer.
He clenched his fists.
“It is absolutely necessary to prevent the world from looking down on our party.”
“okay? “Is it possible?”
“yes?”
Because of the unexpected question, Dang Bi-hyeon blurted out a rebuttal without realizing it.
Namgung Seobaek said.
“The question is whether it is possible without disrupting our original plan.”
The Cheonglimbu is trying to steal the gunpowder that will be airlifted from the imperial family for fireworks.
There is a possibility that the request was made purely because one wanted to set off fireworks.
But it was safe to assume that it wasn’t there.
There is still time left before the Emperor and his entourage visit Hubei.
Namgung Seo-baek was asking Dang Bi-hyeon if he could kill Min Nam-geon and finish the cleanup before that.
“We will make it possible.”
Namgung Seo-baek looked straight at Tang Fei-hyeon.
Even without nodding or speaking, his meaning was conveyed through his eyes.
Dang Bi-hyeon emphasized again.
“I will find a way to kill Min Nanjian before the Emperor Empress arrives. If I fail, I will promise the next time without any regrets.”
Only then did Namgung Seobaek lower his head.
“If you say that, there’s no need for me to stop you.”
“thank you.”
“If you need to cause a disturbance, I will at least create a disturbance.”
Namgung Seobaek went around and around and eventually expressed his intention to help if necessary.
The corners of Dang Bi-hyeon’s mouth rose at his words.
* * *
The Hubei Festival was just starting and there was a lot of noise.
Tang Yong was unable to find time to meet with Tang Feixian for several days as he was busy correcting mistakes and errors.
In the meantime, Dang Bi-hyeon competed in two more competitions, both of which he won by a landslide.
The same was true for Chae Se-yeon and Namgung-tae.
Paang!
An explosive sound spread from Dang Fei-hyeon’s fist.
Dangyeong, who dodged with his hair flying, reaffirmed what he had heard.
“You said you got permission from your elders?”
“yes.”
Dang Bi-hyeon asked a question.
“When exactly will the Emperor Empress arrive?”
“It is scheduled for when the final Palgang match begins. therefore… “There are almost two months left.”
As the owner of a guest house, she knew everything about the customers.
Reports had just been received not only about the Emperor’s arrival date but also about Min Nam-geon.
“Min Nam-geon rented a mansion near Jeojat Street. Moreover, I heard he hired an entire bureau and entrusted it with security.”
“We have to find a way.”
And until now, Dang Bi-hyeon has always searched for the answer.
