There was no one who could stand in Cheonhwa’s way anymore, who had easily suppressed and stopped the war of the grassland warriors.
It was not because they were afraid of him, but because they had concentrated most of their power on the war and there were no warriors left who could stop him.
Those who woke up in the place he passed by searched for him in a hurry, but he passed by so quickly that it was impossible to chase after him.
Thanks to this, Cheonhwa was able to safely pass through the grassland area and enter the territory of Seolsanpa, the entrance to the North Sea and the second gateway.
Seolsanpa.
It was a place close to the realm of mystery even in the world of martial arts.
First of all, it was located outside of the city and very few people had visited, and its disciples rarely went to the Central Plains.
Because of this, even its location was considered mysterious, with some saying it was in Yunnan, others saying it was close to Baekdu Mountain, and still others saying it was somewhere in Xinjiang.
Of course, those in the know of the world of martial arts knew that their base was somewhere between the grasslands and the North Sea, but the reality was that they were considered close to the mysterious sect.
However, despite such mystery, it was quite easy to meet them. If you wanted to go beyond the grasslands to the North Sea, you would inevitably encounter them.
“Stop. Are you planning to go to the North Sea?”
This was because the snow-capped mountains were located on the border between the grasslands and the North Sea.
So their event was not only intended to block those who would dare to enter the North Sea, but also to protect their territory.
“Are you from Seolsanpa? Here.”
Cheonhwa also knew the story in advance, so he handed them the letter he had prepared.
It was a letter written by Bukgung Se-ga-ju, who had a connection with Seolsanpa.
He said that if you show this, even the Seolsan faction will let you pass without any problems. He said that he would guarantee it.
“Ahem, Grandmaster? You must come with us.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“The Jangmunin has given orders to guide anyone who brings a letter of introduction from Bukgung Se-ga to him.”
However, contrary to what I heard, they did not just let Cheonhwa go.
It is said that Jang Moon-in, who had some kind of supernatural power, knew in advance that he would come and gave instructions.
‘If you are the eldest son of Seolsanpa… … is it the sword master?’
After the examination.
This term refers to the strongest woman who uses a sword.
Even though there was the Amipa faction, which was one of the Gupail factions, and the Botamun faction, which was known to be less powerful but just as skilled, Irani defeated them all and became the Sword Master, so Cheonhwa was curious.
“Okay, let’s go.”
The only problem was that it was a bit annoying, but I didn’t refuse the invitation because I thought it would be more annoying on the way back if I forced my way through anyway.
As we climbed Seolsan Mountain following the disciples of Seolsanpa, the Seolsanpa manor, which looked like a natural fortress, appeared.
As he entered, a woman with a familiar back was waiting for him, along with the head of the Seolsan faction, who had the nickname of Sword Master.
“Why are you here?”
That woman was none other than Bukgungyeon.
After being denied permission to travel to the North Sea by her father, Bukgung Se-ga-ju, she was thought to have just been locked up and crying endlessly, and so she was the one who had not even shown her nose when he left, but she had arrived here first.
“I’m sorry, Eun-gong. Are you surprised?”
“Hmm. I told you not to follow me… … .”
It seems that he pretended to stay in his room and left before me.
He himself rode on Mu-oh’s back and ran here without rest, but if we only consider speed, she would be faster since she had reached the peak of her climax.
However, it was quite a long way to get here, and considering that it would take a long time to run without stopping, the probability of arriving first by starting late seemed low.
If that were the case, then there would be no way he wouldn’t have known, unless the paths were significantly different.
That meant she set off even before Cheonhwa.
“I didn’t follow you. I, too, came to the North Sea on my own will, for my own purposes. I was the one who set off first. I was the one who arrived first here, where the Master is.”
She made up some ridiculous excuses, saying that she had not followed Cheonhwa but had taken her own individual steps.
‘Oh, you said you were killed by the swordsman.’
But it wasn’t completely far-fetched.
There was nothing wrong with what she said, and it is true that the swordsman here was the one who taught her swordsmanship when she was young.
It may seem a bit strange to teach martial arts to an outsider who is not even a member of the sect, but there are such things as lay disciples.
In fact, if you were to become a swordsman, it wouldn’t be a big problem to teach a few martial arts skills even if you weren’t a named disciple.
Although it was the Seolsan sword technique, the representative martial art of the Seolsan faction, it was only representative and not a secret sword technique.
Seolsan Sword Technique is a sword technique that can reach the peak and the extreme in itself, but it has many restrictions when it comes to learning it, and it was not taught consistently, but only briefly, so it was even more so.
However, Bukgungyeon considered Geomhu as his teacher, and since he was able to escape pain only when he used the Seolsan Sword Technique, he was able to use his outstanding qualities to achieve peak-level martial arts even in a state where his Ice Spirit Body was called the Ice Blood Poison.
Her efforts were admirable, and Geom-hu, who felt sorry for her, who had lived in unbearable pain since childhood, accepted her as his disciple and embraced her.
Although there was little direct exchange, they kept in touch by sending letters regularly, and finally, they met again here.
“It was you. You saved this child from the punishment.”
Is that why? The Sword Lord, who had been quietly watching Cheonhwa from Bukgungyeon’s side, stepped forward.
Although he was surprised that Bukgungyeon had discovered his constitution, which he didn’t even know about, and even treated him, he expressed his deep gratitude to Cheonhwa, which came from the bottom of his heart.
“I am grateful as this child’s teacher. I feel sorry and regretful that I could have helped relieve his pain earlier due to my shortcomings. I am so glad that he can smile again now.”
“No problem. But why did you call me here?”
“I’m sorry for bothering you. I just wanted to see you. This kid is so excited to talk… … .”
“S, Master!”
When the swordsman looked back at Bukgungyeon and smiled faintly, Bukgungyeon was startled and screamed, but it wasn’t important.
The only thing that bothered him was that she seemed to be taking Bukgungyeon’s side and trying to persuade him to accompany her.
“I heard a story from this child. He said there was a secret story about his biological mother. So… … .”
“No.”
So I cut him off from even being able to say anything.
I know it’s rude, but I couldn’t do it.
“I ask you this. I will also deliver this letter to Bukgung Se-ga-ju. Even if there are circumstances, how can I abandon the ties of nature? I don’t think I will refuse to go anyway, but I think it would be reassuring if So-hyeop would accompany me for the sake of this child’s safety. Although she has grown in stature, she is still very young and delicate.”
But the inspection was not delayed.
Even though Cheonhwa cut him off, he didn’t show any resentment or hesitation and continued to say what he wanted to say.
Bukgungyeon nodded her head continuously next to him as if that was true, and Cheonhwa thought about it for a moment.
The fact that she followed me this far meant that she had no intention of backing down.
I could leave her like this, but as the inspector said, that would be dangerous in its own way.
Because the scariest thing in the North Sea isn’t people.
People are people, but the harsh environment that makes it difficult for people to live makes even the strongest drones tired and dangerous.
The problem wasn’t that Hanseo couldn’t sleep, but that they were lost and starving.
If you get lost in the snowy North Sea, it is extremely difficult for a first-time traveler to find your way back.
Also, there was nothing to gather, and even if they wanted to hunt, there was little game, so it was said that even skilled hunters from the Central Plains would have a hard time surviving in the North Sea.
In such a place, would Bukgung Yeon, who was raised by Bukgung Sega as a precious jewel, be able to survive?
That amazing inaction could easily lead to danger.
“Hmm… … .”
I was worried because there was nothing wrong with what the doctor said.
I hesitated because I heard something from Bukgung Se-ga-ju, but I also wondered what would be the point of moving separately since I had followed them all the way here.
“Is that okay? What you see there might not be what you think, or it might be even more horrifying. If you promise not to act emotionally under any circumstances and to follow my control, then come with me.”
“Yes, Eun-gong! I promise!!”
In the end, Cheonhwa gave up.
He decided to break his promise with Bukgung Se-ga and accompany Bukgung Yeon.
When I saw Bukgungyeon shouting brightly as if she had been waiting for it, I thought of the story that Bukgung Segaju had told me and my heart felt heavy, but there was nothing I could do about it.
It was a bit funny to tell someone to be angry, but if I didn’t set up a device like this, something big could have happened, so after getting a few definite answers, I let out a deep sigh.
“Leave out that compliment. I told you. You don’t have to play the role of a swindler anymore.”
“Still… … Okay. Then what do you say… … Uh, um, Gaga?”
Then, I reorganized the titles again.
Bukgungyeon, who was unable to call her Eun-gong, hesitated for a moment, but then he remembered the times when he was with Dang-mimi, or maybe he was envious of the way she called him so sweetly, so he bashfully changed his title to Gaga.
It felt strange to hear Bukgungyeon tell me to go, but there was still something left to sort out.
Cheonhwa finally took out the jade tablet he had received from Bukgung Se-ga and returned it to Bukgung Yeon.
“I’ll give it back to you, since not taking you was a condition of receiving this.”
In fact, it didn’t really matter who had it, but it was also his mother’s belonging, and since he had broken his promise with Bukgung Se-ga-ju anyway, he decided to return the jade tablet.
However, since she was the only person from the Bukgung family in this place, I just gave it back to her.
“Oh, there was that. Since two would be missing one, I’ll give you mine.”
I thought that one thousand flowers would suffice, but the situation in the North Sea was different.
Geom-hu, who had been quietly looking at the jade tablet, rummaged through his pockets and handed Cheon-hwa another jade tablet.
It is known that the Seolsan faction is keeping the Bukhae Ice Palace in check, but because of their geographical location, they are on guard while also maintaining their own exchanges.
The fact that the swordsman, who was well-versed in the circumstances of the North Sea, held out a jade tablet meant that only one person was allowed to enter per jade tablet.
So I asked about Muo and Noeryeong, but Yeongmul was an exception.
“If it’s okay, would you mind stopping by here on your way back? There’s a lot I want to discuss with this child, and with the person next to him. I’d be happy if we could talk and discuss things together.”
“Well, I guess so. It would be difficult to take too much time, though.”
So, after deciding to accompany Bukgungyeon, Geomhu stopped trying to catch him.
He heard from Bukgungyeon that the situation in the Central Plains was not good, so he pushed them aside, promising to wait until later.
Instead, I’d like to add that when we get back, we’ll take the time to discuss Saddam, of course, and about the Bingryong.
Since Geom-hu was also a master who had reached the level of Hwa-gyeong, Cheon-hwa had no reason to refuse.
Although the matter in the Central Plains was urgent, he didn’t really know whether it was urgent or not, and if he just looked for the Asura statue stored in the Ice Palace, it would be them who would be in a hurry now, not him.
However, I was a little worried because I didn’t know if the rumor about the Bukgung family in Haomun that I had instructed would be accepted.
Since the master Bukgungyeon is missing, if another attack occurs while he is away, it could be a big problem.
Of course, the smart people of Bukgung Se-ga will have to come up with their own plans, but you never know.
Because the opponent is a demonic cult.
So I had no choice but to finish the work as early as possible.
After expressing their gratitude to the Seolsanpa warriors who had taken responsibility for their supplies as Bukgung Segaju had written in his letter, Cheonhwa and Bukgung Yeon finally set foot on the land of Bukhae.
After recovering for a while, Mu-o regained his strength and was able to confront the people of Bukhae Ice Palace before long.
