The World of Sound - Chapter 44



Only Krnovel

“… … Namgung Sega? Are you talking about the Odaesega or something?”

“That’s right. Those three Namgungs.”

Namgung Se-ga.

Ma Cheol-hwan revealed that the person who bought his fortune was the head of the Namgung family, a member of the Five Great Families and considered to be their leader.

Ma Cheol-hwan’s answer that he would have found out anyway gave off a strange feeling, but it was still a great harvest.

Now that we know where it is, all we need to do is figure out how to get it back.

However, the weight of the name Namgung Se-ga was quite heavy.

‘Namgung. You said there was a sword king there?’

King of Swords Namgung Hoon.

It was a name that was not included in the fancy martial arts ranking list called the 100 Great Masters of Jeongpa and the 100 Great Masters of Sapa.

There are those who are called the greatest masters in the Central Plains martial arts world, but above them are those who are so powerful that they cannot be expressed in terms of ranking.

The three kings and three ghosts were them.

They are the ones who can claim to be the strongest in the current martial arts world, and there is no doubt that the best in the world will emerge from among them.

Of course, even among them, the rich spit out saliva as they tried to establish their own ranking, but it was meaningless.

Because they were super strong people who could easily turn the game around with just a difference in their physical condition that day or a small realization.

One of those people is living in Namgung Se-ga.

‘I’m curious. What level of skill is he?’

If he was the Sword King, he would definitely attract Cheonhwa’s attention.

He himself was a person who was said to be someone that not many in the Central Plains could handle, and although Ma Jin, one of the hundred greatest masters of the Sect, was no match for him, it might be a different story for someone like the Three Emperors, Five Kings, and Three Ghosts.

The only way to know for sure would be to see them in person or compete against them, at least from a distance.

Because his own Cheon-eum Shingong has not been completed yet.

If he reached the extreme, or even the 11th level, he would certainly not care who his opponent was, but it was still difficult to be sure.

So, you have no choice but to check it out and experience it yourself.

Cheonhwa stroked the ice spirit medicine hanging from her waist with the confidence that at least she wouldn’t lose.

“That kid seems to have quite an eye for boys.”

“… … Yes? What did you say?”

At that moment, Ma Cheol-hwan, who was quietly watching Cheon-hwa smiling and thinking to himself, let out a strange sound.

“No. I’m just talking to myself. By the way, how did you find out about Yeryeong? Is she doing well? Could you tell me where you found out about her? The two of you… … .”

Ma Cheol-hwan, who suddenly became unable to sell his arms, asked him various questions about Mayeryeong, but there was nothing he could really answer.

Because I don’t know and I can’t tell you without your permission.

However, he took it as an evasion of the answer and continued to ask questions, leaving me scratching my head at the foolishness of a father with a daughter.

“Who spoke first? No. Of course it was you. That innocent and pure child… … .”

“Surely, you haven’t kissed me already, have you?”

“Have you ever talked about engagement? How dare you do it without my permission!!”

“… … Ahem. Sorry. I got excited for a moment. I’ll believe you for now. But, keep in mind that I’ll be watching!”

An innocent and pure child?

If you’ve become the branch manager of Haomen, you must have experienced all the sweetness, bitterness, and shit of martial arts.

Since Ma Cheol-hwan’s words, which were full of things that he couldn’t respond to while talking excitedly, Cheon-hwa mostly just listened quietly.

Since denying it would be meaningless anyway, I just chose to ignore it.

“… … I’ll tell him to stop by at least once. In the end, it’s his decision.”

“Would you, would you? Tell your father… … that he said he was sorry before. Or at least give him my letter… … .”

I don’t know exactly what happened before Mayeryeong left home, but it didn’t seem like anything that would warrant someone’s book.

Because it seemed like an ordinary family affair.

Even if there had been some kind of misunderstanding or incident, judging from the reactions of Ma Cheol-hwan and the people of Maga Cheol-bang, their relationship would not have become hostile, so I decided to just convey the message briefly and left Maga Cheol-bang.

Before that, I had explained to Ma Cheol-hwan the method and techniques for making the ice spirit.

But it wouldn’t be easy for ordinary craftsmen to follow.

They usually didn’t learn martial arts, and although there were some parts that could be replaced with special items, handling and containing the spirit energy was nearly impossible.

Still, Ma Cheol-hwan looked quite satisfied.

‘Would this person be able to do it?’

Thinking about the way he handled the ice spirits, I even had a feeling that it might be possible.

‘I guess we’ll be able to check it out soon.’

And the results could be received faster than expected.

Because there was no ice spirit in Cheonhwa’s hand as he left Maga Cheolbang.

It was left behind for a while at Ma Cheol-hwan’s request.

‘Free is always right.’

Scabbard.

He asked me to make a scabbard to hold the ice spirit.

Of course, there were no additional charges for materials.

It was made by Maga Cheol Bang Ju himself, who wanted everyone in the world of martial arts to touch his sword at least once, but it was rather regrettable that he was the one who made it.

Inspired by the Ice Spirit, I had volunteered to create a scabbard that could contain its cold energy, so it was something I, Cheonhwa, had absolutely nothing to lose.

Rather, it was a great gain since he was given ownership of the scabbard free of charge.

If it were me, I could control the power of the ice spirit no matter how I carried it, but others wouldn’t be able to do so.

Also, the power was so noticeable and had such an impact on the surroundings that if he wanted to sell it, he might have had to make a scabbard himself later.

I have no choice but to gladly lend you the Ice Spirit if you would do it for me.

“Then shall we go? To Namgung Se-ga.”

Thanks to that, Cheonhwa left Maga Cheolbang with a light body and mind.

As promised, he handed over Ma Cheol-hwan’s letter and the letter he had written himself to Hao-mun and had him deliver it to Ma Ye-ryeong, and then headed north again.

The location of the Nanggong family is Hefei, the capital of Anhui Province.

Although it was located in Anhui Province, like Magachebang, the distance was quite long and the roads were not well paved, as it would take quite a detour to use the official road, but Cheonhwa lifted his body without hesitation.

As if unfolding the magic of shrinking, he unfolded his divine law to the extreme and began to run by folding the space.

***

“By the way, do you have an appointment?”

“no!”

“… …Can you tell me your nickname?”

“There’s no such thing!”

“Then, even if it’s a family or a clan… … .”

“Are you the 7th generation head of the Cheonummun?”

Namgung Se-ga.

In front of the great power of the Five Great Clans of the Central Plains, which was always considered the leader of the great powers that ruled the Anhui Province, a young man and a guard were engaged in a scuffle that was not a fight at all.

The young man answered the guard’s questions as sincerely as he could, but the guard’s expression only became more distorted.

“Are you joking with Namgung Se-ga right now? If you want to see the head of the household, you should go through the proper procedures to ask. He is not someone you can meet just because some random person asks!”

That’s only natural.

Because a person from an unheard of sect called Cheon Eum Moon suddenly came and requested a private meeting with the head of the household.

Although he calls himself Moonju, at first glance he looks like a later index.

That was more of a problem.

If a place is owned by a young man like this, it is likely to be either very small or in ruins.

He is not on the same level as Namgung Se-ga.

No matter how positively you think about him, he was an unknown private who would have difficulty forming a relationship with the owner of a small house, let alone a landlord, so it was natural for the gatekeeper on guard to order him to refrain from visiting.

“But could you tell me the story? I came to buy back something I bought at Magacheolbang.”

“… … Maga Cheol Bang? Or, did you send it from there?”

“That’s not it.”

“What the hell are you trying to do? Get out of here!”

Cheonhwa asked again to understand that position to some extent, but of course, he was rejected.

Although he was startled by the word Maga Cheolbang, he seemed annoyed again when he heard that it wasn’t sent from there and shouted.

“Huh.”

In the end, Cheonhwa had no choice but to retreat from the main gate of Namgung Se-ga’s estate.

It’s not that I didn’t expect this to happen, but I didn’t have a way out of it.

Even if he wanted to go through the formal process as he said, it would be difficult to get a chance to meet him due to his reputation and background.

It might not be impossible to steal or turn everything upside down and get what you want, but that wasn’t his style.

Above all, it was obvious that if you did something like that to a place like Namgung Se-ga, you would experience a lot of troublesome things.

So I was planning to come to an agreement through a private meeting with the head of the household, but it was extremely difficult because I couldn’t even get past the entrance, let alone go in.

“If it becomes like this, there’s nothing we can do about it.”

If we go on like this, there is no point in running in a straight line without finding a route.

In the meantime, if they happen to create something using the iron, it could be quite troublesome or annoying.

Above all, it was important to reduce time.

So, instead of retreating from the main gate, Cheonhwa climbed up to the roof of the tallest building nearby.

It was a place where the inside of Namgung Se-ga’s estate was completely visible, but that was only possible because it was Cheonhwa.

Because there is no place where even Namgung Se-ga dares to look into his manor.

Therefore, there were no buildings tall enough to easily see inside near the Namgung Se-ga estate’s manor, but there were some that existed quite a distance away.

That was where the heavenly flower was located.

It was a distance that was too far for anyone to examine Namgung Se-ga unless they were that great, and had exceptional eye skills. In other words, it was possible for someone as skilled as Cheon-hwa.

“Is it around there?”

Cheonumshinkong

Jinhyeon’s chapter

Full sound

On the roof of a building in the distance, Cheonhwa played the lute.

The sound waves spread out gently but with a deep resonance and seeped into the Namgung Se-ga estate’s manor.

He scanned the halls, people, and objects and conveyed the information that Cheonhwa wanted.

Normal sound waves would disperse after they spread out, but with the use of the Heavenly Sound Technique, the sound waves could be controlled to return, and the sound waves transmitted in this way contained a great deal of information.

‘It must be somewhere around here… … .’

If you simply checked the sound waves, you would only be able to estimate the approximate location of the Sega Hall or the movements within it, but Cheonhwa was different.

It was possible to estimate their internal energy and level, and through that, they were able to find the location of the person believed to be the head of the household.

If you were a very high level expert, you might be able to detect the exploration of the Heavenly Flower, but it would be impossible unless you reached the level of the Flower Realm.

Even if you notice something strange, it is difficult to know why.

‘Umm… … None?’

However, Cheonhwa’s face, which had been continuing to investigate, gradually hardened.

Indeed, there were many masters worthy of the reputation of the Namgung family, but the location of the master presumed to be the head of the family is unknown.

‘I think I said it was definitely near the end of the climax.’

Of course, there are many experts.

There were so many first-class players that it was hard to count them all, there were so many top-level players, and there were also quite a few super-top level players.

It is said that more than 90% of the 100 best masters of the Jeongpa clan are gathered in the Gupailbang and the Odaesega clans, and in reality, their power is considerable.

However, no one who looked like a resident was detected.

I checked how many of them had the rank of a householder, but they were all gathered in one hall. It seemed like the old men in the back room, called the Senate, were passing the time.

However, unless the head of the household visits the Senate, no other top-tier masters are felt.

‘Are you away?’

Maybe he was away for a while.

Even if they went undercover and negotiated, it would be difficult because the authority would ultimately lie with the head of the household.

“It’s a really nice day. Isn’t it?”

At that moment, someone’s voice was suddenly heard from the seat next to Cheonhwa.
