The World of Sound - Chapter 31



Only Krnovel

“Excuse me, Mr. Musician. It’s time to get to work.”

After the order of the Wizhisegaju was given, one of the Wizhisegaju’s warriors cautiously approached Cheonhwa.

He approached him with his empty hands as if trying to wake him up by shaking him, but it was also a situation where he could not know when the sword on his waist would be pulled out and cut him to pieces.

“Haam. Really? You said I can play anything, right?”

“Yes. If possible, please give me someone who is interesting.”

However, Cheonhwa wasn’t nervous at all.

Even if he had been napping for a long time, there was no way he would not have noticed the other person’s approach, so he snored without any resistance or caution until he shook him awake, and then he woke up leisurely.

‘… … I don’t know if I’m brave or dull.’

It was not at all strange that the forehead of Wiji Se-ga-ju, who was secretly watching the scene, twitched slightly.

If you think about it, you could say that he was isolated in the middle of a lake with no place to escape, in the middle of enemies who wanted to kill him, so how could he react like that?

He was a man who would not be satisfied with beating to death the person who turned his precious child into a wreck, but I couldn’t help but acknowledge his guts.

“Well, I guess so.”

Doo-woong-.

No. I couldn’t help but acknowledge his skill in turning gold.

On board the ships, each with its own distinct distance between them, first-class and special musicians began to play, but even considering the difference in listening from up close, Cheonhwa’s performance was outstanding.

So much so that it’s a shame to kill him.

‘There’s no need to rush, right?’

It is none other than Sega’s eldest son.

Although there are several other sons, considering the nature of the family being passed down through bloodlines, the eldest son had no choice but to invest the most in order to prevent future conflicts, and he was also the most talented.

Because of that, he couldn’t help but want to immediately tear apart Cheonhwa, who had caused such great damage to his eldest son, to the point where he would either become a wreck or, even if he recovered, would be unable to grow. However, he was the head of the household before he was a father.

He was a person who could put off revenge for his son for a little while for the sake of a great cause, so he took a deep breath and quietly listened to Cheonhwa’s performance.

If I could just obtain the Eternal Golden Ball, I would be able to escape the beginning of the climax and immediately reach the realm of the complete climax.

If the legendary story were true, it might have reached a climax in an instant.

No, I believed that I could do it.

‘If that happens, no one will be able to look down on our Wijisega. We will be able to bring down those Pengga bastards and join the ranks of the Five Great Sega families.’

Habukpengga.

Having established a base in the same Hebei region, it would be enough to bring down those who are always compared to Wei Zi Shi, who chase after similar powers such as the wall force and the storm.

Some may say that nothing can change so much with the power of just one expert, but that is a story that does not know the world of martial arts or martial arts world.

The power and ability of a single absolute master is to multiply the power of a sect and a family several times over, and to raise their reputation dozens of times.

If he could do that, he was confident that he could be included in the Five Great Great Kings, or even in their ranks.

But to do that, you need an elixir of the highest quality, like the Eternal Golden Ball.

That is why, through numerous studies and investigations, we have discovered the time and place of appearance of the Eternal Gold Ball, as well as the method of attracting it.

In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that the family’s life was at stake in this matter.

‘You have quite a bit of patience, don’t you?’

That’s why Cheonhwa smiled wickedly as he glanced at Wei Zhi Se Ga Ju, who was alternately looking into the deep waters of Cheonhwa and Dongjeongho while clenching his fists until they were almost crushed.

It seemed like he was holding on better than I thought, but I wondered how long his patience would last.

‘I’ll take what I can get.’

But nothing was done right away.

The daily wages I was supposed to receive were quite large, and I wanted to see what they would do.

In fact, if they just turn their backs and avoid you, there’s no need to fight them.

The way the Wiji family handled things was quite smooth.

When the special musicians finished playing, while they rested, the first-class musicians started playing their instruments, and when they finished playing, the special musicians continued playing.

The performance continued without pause, as if a wheel-to-wheel battle was taking place, and the sounds that Cheonhwa had recorded flowed out ceaselessly from the small boats.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire Dongjeongho Lake was filled with sound all day long.

Even though they were given some time to rest, the musicians were completely exhausted in just one day.

“Please take care of me tomorrow too. Just come out here at the same time.”

In the meantime, the Wiji family’s followers were busy eating and drinking.

At first glance, they seemed to enjoy the pleasures of leisure, but their eyes were alive and there was not a single one of them drinking too much.

Even those who drank alcohol occasionally used their internal energy to completely expel the alcohol from their bodies.

Because it originally had a different purpose.

They had to be alert and on high alert to immediately move and capture anything like the Eternal Gold Ball if it appeared, and as a result, they were quite tired, but it was only the first day.

The next day, and the day after that, they repeated the same actions, deceiving the public and hiding their true intentions, but they were not able to salvage anything worth recognizing, let alone the eternal gold.

‘Is achieving the goal the priority?’

Even though it must have been quite a boring and anxious situation, the members of the Wijisega family repeated the same actions with great patience.

They did not even try to find the eternal goldfish by rashly digging or diving, and they continued fishing using strong-smelling herbs such as the Chinese chive as bait, and did not show any unusual behavior.

Then, on the fifth day, something happened.

“Hey, don’t do that.”

There was a small commotion on the distant ship where the Cheonhwa had not yet set sail.

“I’m sorry. There’s nothing we can do about it.”

“If you just stay calm, nothing will happen.”

The woman’s trembling voice overlaps with the voices of the warriors who are trying to comfort him and show signs of distress.

The sounds were so small that they were hard to notice even from the boat right next to them, but they rang clearly in Cheonhwa’s ears.

That made him feel uncomfortable.

Because the owner of the voice soaked in fear is someone that Cheonhwa knows well.

“Your Majesty. Please… … !”

Soye.

She was a woman who made a name for herself as a blind musician.

Since there was already a bad relationship with Wijisegawa, I was keeping an eye out to see if they would try to harm him in some way, but after four days of silence, it finally happened today.

“Send them away quickly! Their skills are so weak that we should at least pay tribute to them.”

The warriors who approached Soye on both sides grabbed her arms and forcibly dragged her away.

He took her to the very front of the ship.

To be precise, he was trying to force her to sit on the plank installed at the bow of the ship.

“That kid again?”

The one who gave the order was none other than Wi Ji-cheon.

Originally, he should have been sent to his hometown to recuperate due to his serious injuries, but he was still staying here because he brought all of the members of the family’s pharmacy with him in the hopes of using them to create the Mannyeongumgu Shindan if he succeeded in capturing it.

Also, the doctors at the pharmacy must have been quite skilled, because a guy who should have been lying down was sitting on something like a palanquin and ordering the servants around.

It was difficult to move his body, let alone open his lips, and his pronunciation was very slurred, but he insisted on speaking to Soye, who thought he was the one who had ended up in this state with her poisonous eyes.

She was hired as a musician, but she was not even from the family, and they made her, who had poor eyesight, sit in a very dangerous place where she could fall into the water if she moved, and make her play.

However, even that was a compromise made due to the persuasion of other unmanned personnel.

The first order was to hang her from the bow, citing a story from seafarers that the ship was unclean because a woman was on board.

Of course, if that were the case, the performance would not have been good, and other people’s gazes would have been uncomfortable.

So the compromise was to have her sit on a plank that would sink into the water if it got out of alignment and have her play.

Even though it was impossible to see ahead, it was inevitable that fear would be greater, but he didn’t seem to care about such things.

In this case, even if she fell into the water, she could still claim it was her own mistake.

That’s why the other families pretended not to know and went along with Wi Ji-cheon’s stubbornness, which brought about Cheon-hwa’s anger.

“Shout out loud somewhere. Your young master will come running. No, is it your old master? Hehe!”

“?!”

Of course, Soye also refused and resisted at first.

Although he knew that his feeble strength could not do anything about the menacing power of the drones, the sense of danger he could feel made it impossible for him to maintain his composure.

At that time, Wi Ji-cheon’s words caught her by surprise.

Because I know who the guy is talking about when he says “Sae-seo-bang” or “Gil-dae-seo-bang”.

“I will go.”

Soye had already shared the sound several times, so she noticed that Cheonhwa had been in the same place as her for the past few days.

The thought that she might get angry at him robbed her of her will to resist.

She made herself sit on the plank.

“You still haven’t come to your senses and are doing this kind of thing?”

But Cheonhwa couldn’t see that sight.

Since she is a woman, it doesn’t matter if her eyes are uncomfortable.

It is unbearable to see a master of music who deserves respect being treated like that by a mere swordsman.

I thought I wouldn’t be able to hear it because it was far away, but the other person was Cheonhwa.

Even if the meaning was conveyed by phone, there was no way it would be missed.

It was at that moment that he stopped playing and jumped up from his seat, as if he was going to turn everything upside down, including his work and his wages.

He was not a man who could just sit by and watch those who dared not talk to him do such things, so he held a jade flute instead of borrowed gold in his hand.

Dying-

At that time, Soye’s performance began.

It was a truly warm sound, even though my heart must have been filled with anxiety and fear.

– Don’t come.

It was as if the musician was saying that.

– I’m fine.

Although it was just a performance, Cheonhwa and Soye were already connected through performance.

That was why her heart and intention were conveyed to Cheonhwa in the form of sound, and Cheonhwa, who seemed about to jump overboard and attack the bastard, hesitated.

Her worries were blown away in an instant, but it was also because the distance between the ships was quite long.

If he moved rashly, she could get hurt before he could reach her, and if a battle with the Wijise family broke out like this, he would be able to destroy them, but she, who had not learned martial arts, could suffer damage.

So, instead of going wild right away, Cheonhwa put his mouth on the jade flute with fierce eyes.

He began to play the flute in response to her playing.

I couldn’t tell if it was heard, but it was also the sound of someone calling out.

“It’s definitely amazing. I’ve come this far and if it doesn’t show up, I think it might be better to give up.”

At that moment, someone approached Cheonhwa.

It was Wiji Se-ga-ju, the father of Wiji-cheon.

He, who had not been seen since the first day, approached her and started talking, perhaps sensing Cheonhwa’s excitement or perhaps because he had other business to attend to.

“I am the leader of the Wiji Family, the Wiji Military Commander. I heard that you are also quite skilled in martial arts. I heard that my son owes you a debt of gratitude.”

Although the performance did not stop, Wi Ji-gunpyeong continued talking as if it did not matter if he did not respond.

While telling the story of how he took care of Wi Ji-cheon, he sent out a sharp blast of energy, but Cheon-hwa accepted it as if she didn’t notice it.

“Because of that, the child will have a hard time learning martial arts for a while. He may never be able to use martial arts again. It’s hard for me as a father to just ignore this, but since he is the child who will lead the family in the future, it will be hard for me as the head of the family to just let you go.”

One step at a time.

As the distance between him and Wijigunpyeong grew shorter, the aura emanating from him also changed from moment to moment.

He was releasing a chilling murderous aura that made it seem as if he would commit suicide at any moment and wring his neck, and he began to strangle Cheonhwa with a momentum that only a warrior of the highest caliber could display.

Although he hadn’t drawn his sword yet, it didn’t look like it would be strange at all if it were drawn and swung at any time.

“But no matter how much I think about it, I think your skills are a waste. That’s why I’d like to make a suggestion.”

Until then, Cheonhwa continued playing without even looking at him.

It’s so calm, as if you can come out anytime, anywhere.

Maybe I was suppressing the anger that was welling up from deep inside me.

“Come work under me, and I’ll pretend this never happened.”

If Wi Ji-cheon was around, it would be a story that would make a fuss and make a fuss.

Instead of offering revenge on the one who made you like that, you offer to recruit him?

It was something that could never be acknowledged or tolerated.

However, Gaju thought differently.

Because it was too much of a waste of Cheonhwa’s talent to end it like this with revenge.

Even the Gujiguyeopcho that he just received is like that.

It was clearly much fresher and more spiritual than what he had heard, as if it had actually grown during the transfer.

You might think that the story is just wrong, or that it’s your own illusion, but when you listen to Cheonhwa’s performance, you’ll understand.

This kind of performance could have a great impact on the growth of the young.

If that was the case, it would have been a great gain to just make this person the manager of the field of hidden spirit grass they had.

Even if you can’t obtain the inner workings of the Eternal Golden Ball, if you nurture them well and absorb them completely, you might be able to make your name among the top 100 masters of the Jeongpa, and even higher.

For that, he was willing to give up on things like the principle of primogeniture.

He had more children and he still had a lot of time left to live.

If he could only reach the peak of his power, even if it was not as high as Hwagyeong, he would be able to sufficiently revive his family.

He was confident that future generations would remember him with a more glorious name.

“Hey, you have to make sense.”

At that moment, Cheonhwa’s sharp voice breaking the labor pains was heard.

Cheonhwa’s expression and tone of voice, which had been playing the flute with long breaths, had returned to their usual state.

“How can a tiger get under a dog? Under a neighborhood mutt at that.”

“What?!”

Phew!

At the same time, a huge amount of energy was drawn out from Wijigunpyeong’s body.

Because he had never heard such an insult, and he should not have heard it.

“If you were a man, would you want to be under someone weaker than you? And someone much weaker?”

But Cheonhwa stopped playing and just scratched his ears.

“… … You’re being so arrogant about destroying the martial arts skills of a mere child.”

“Hey. He was all show, big-headed and full of energy, but what about the destruction? He was just weak. Whether it was a person or martial arts.”

“bloke!!”

Phage crackle-!!

It was understandable that he was so arrogant about destroying his son’s martial arts skills, which were only just beginning to be mastered and had not yet reached their peak.

As is often the case with young people of that age, it could be seen that he was full of pride and arrogance, intoxicated by his own meager skills.

However, he said something he shouldn’t have said.

He dared to make remarks that trampled on the martial arts of the Great Wiji Family.

In an instant, a storm raged around him.

It wasn’t the weather, it was the spirit that made it happen.

The waves of energy that seemed to scrape at the wind and thunder swept through the space in a chaotic and sharp manner, and the force alone was enough to shake the insides of most people and cause them to collapse.

It was the realm of a martial artist whose typified energy could inflict harm on his opponents, and the power of a unique internal energy disposition.

“Look at this. It’s the same, right?”

“… … !”

That’s why Cheonhwa also had to collapse, spitting up blood, or stagger back with internal injuries, unable to handle his unique internal energy disposition.

It should have been that way, but something strange happened.

Even if he had reached the peak, it would be normal for his internal energy to not be able to withstand the lightning-like energy, but he was moving as if nothing had happened and was lightly waving his hands as if he was swatting away a fly.

Even when the guy waved his hands, the energy he emitted was quietly dissipating.

As if they could not dare to commit a crime against heaven.

“That, that hand, could it be… … ?”

At that moment, Cheonhwa’s hand entered his eyes.

The moment I saw the hand that had turned whiter than snow and was shining with an unknown energy, a fearful name that should not be in this place came to mind.

It is a cursed name that I have heard and been warned about from my ancestors, even though I have never seen it myself.

As the secretly investigated Cheonhwa’s actions overlapped, Wijigunpyeong’s eyes trembled.
