Yellow Dragon Lord, Genius Swordsman
Episode 2
“The big brother has returned!”
“The swordsman Dan Sa-hyeok has returned!”
A mountain vegetable located at the foot of Daxue Mountain in Gansu Province.
Surrounded by a broken wooden fence here and there, it was the fortress of the Gansu branch of the Martial Arts Alliance.
Kkieii.
A huge wooden door that opens left and right.
Dozens of warriors rushed in from beyond to greet the single-minded man who was entering.
Soon, enthusiastic cheers and shouts followed.
“You’re safe, sir!”
“I was worried because I didn’t hear from you for ten days!”
Most of them reacted with relief or joy, and all of them had been saved by Dan Sa-hyeok at least once.
On the other hand, there were quite a few people who sent me a cold gaze from afar.
Of course, they were the ones who were jealous of Dan Sa-hyeok.
However, Dan Sa-hyeok walked towards the main building without even looking at either of them.
Meanwhile, in the main building, a middle-aged man was waiting for Dan Sa-hyeok.
A man who has gained weight as thick as a bear.
It was Oh Du-Seok, the head of the Gansu Province branch of the Murim Alliance.
“Single shot!”
Odoo Seok let out a loud voice.
“I don’t know how many times this has happened!”
“hmm.”
“How dare you come back? You disobeyed orders again, left the barracks without permission, and then came back a few days later as if nothing had happened!”
“well.”
“Well? This time, it won’t end with a light punishment… … .”
Bam!
Dan Sa-hyeok threw down one of the supplies.
Even though the blood had dried, it wasn’t completely gone, and a few drops of blood splattered on the walls and floor.
“Haha!”
O Du-seok reflexively took a step back and let out a bewildered sound.
“Wh, what?”
“This is the Blood Heavenly Horse’s head.”
“What?”
Odu Seok looked back and forth between Dan Sa Hyeok and Su Su and then stammered out his words.
“Tongue, the head of the Blood Heavenly Demon? Are you saying that you defeated that monster?”
“That’s true.”
“That’s nonsense! How can I believe that… … .”
Thud!
A heavy lump of iron was stuck in the floor.
Oduseok rubs his eyes and looks at it.
Suddenly, a cry of astonishment came out of his mouth.
“Tongue, Blood Dragon!”
“Thank goodness you noticed. I was worried that I would have to prove the truth of that.”
“T, how about this… …?”
“I told you. I killed the Blood Demon.”
Dan Sa-hyeok turned around.
“Look for the valley area south of Myeongsa Mountain. The corpses of the Blood Heavenly Demon and its escort, the Blood Demon Squadron, will be strewn about there.”
“… … !”
“It shouldn’t be too hard to find. The surrounding area has been scorched, so that should be a marker.”
“Ugh… … !”
“I believe you know what to do now.”
Dan Sa-hyeok said calmly.
“As promised the day we first met, please send Jeon Seo-gu to Seoan.”
* * *
The martial arts world was turned upside down.
A single letter from the Gansu branch.
It was because of the brief content contained within.
“The Blood Heavenly Horse Cheon Mu-yeol… … .”
“Are you saying he’s really dead?”
Hwangryongseong (黃龍城), headquarters of the Murim Alliance.
The interior of the conference hall, the Emperor Wu Hall, was seething with shock and amazement.
Death of the Blood Demon.
It was clearly something to be cheering and rejoicing about, but what I felt more strongly was a feeling of bewilderment.
Because it was a situation that far surpassed any predictable category.
“How on earth?”
One of the clansmen opened his mouth.
“He may not be the same as before since he suffered a great blow in the Battle of Volcano, but wasn’t he the Blood Heavenly Demon, the greatest enemy in the martial arts world?”
“Isn’t this just some crazy guy messing around?”
“So you’re saying we gathered at the Emperor’s Palace because we were tricked by a false letter?”
“Please explain in detail, soldier!”
An empty throne on the stage of the Emperor of Mu.
The man standing next to him raised his hand and calmed the atmosphere in the room.
“The detailed report has not yet arrived. We will soon begin an internal investigation.”
“hmm…….”
“Then doesn’t that mean the letter itself could be fake?”
“No, the authenticity of the letter is clear. It has the seal of the Gansu Branch Manager, and the paper is also made of a material specially made for emergency reports.”
“Hmm.”
“Then really… … ?”
“Unless the Gansu Province branch manager Oh Du-seok submitted a false report or the letterhead and seal were stolen as a result of some conspiracy.”
The martial arts alliance’s military leader, Sima Jin, spoke forcefully.
“The fact that the Blood Heavenly Horse is dead is certain.”
“… … !”
A heavy silence descends on the Battle of Muwang.
The famous martial artists of Naero were feeling the terrifying weight contained in Sima Jin’s words.
“but…….”
Sima Jin’s words that follow.
It was a voice that seemed to have a stain on it.
“What is it, soldier?”
“Along with the report of the death of the Blood Demon, a request has been delivered from the person responsible for killing him.”
“A requirement?”
“So, the person who killed the Blood Heavenly Demon asked for something?”
“Yes. Strictly speaking, it reminds me of the leader’s declaration.”
“If it is the declaration of the leader… … .”
“You said you would give me any of the Murim Alliance’s possessions?”
“Yes.”
The expressions on the faces of the martial arts masters became subtle.
In fact, considering the value of the Blood Heavenly Horse’s name, it wasn’t that burdensome of a price to pay.
You’ve eliminated the greatest enemy and threat to the Murim Alliance, so what else can you not give them?
However, there was one reason why they, like Sima Jin, could not help but hesitate, even if only for a moment.
“It has already been more than ten years since the leader made such a declaration… … .”
“Didn’t the leader pass away a while ago?”
Samajin nodded his head at their words mixed with embarrassment.
“Yes.”
“I don’t like it!”
A man with a rough appearance expressed his true feelings in a loud voice.
“You’re even suggesting that we pay a price without even explaining the details? Doesn’t that mean that we’re not going to compensate you?”
“Hwang Mun-ju, I think that’s going too far.”
“No, I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. I felt the same way.”
The conference room begins to commotion.
Sima Jin tried to calm them down, but was swept away by the waves of language from the famous martial artists and was left in disarray.
‘Is it inevitable?’
Those gathered here are the core of the Murim Alliance and the towering peaks in the mountains of Baekdo Murim.
They were ambitious, self-willed, and powerful people with their own powers.
Moreover, the current situation is that the leader of the martial arts world is absent.
It had been some time since the previous leader, Jang Mu-ryong, the Wheel-Rolling Sword, had passed away, and a successor had not yet been decided.
‘So, in the meantime, the Blood Demon died.’
Samajin muttered to himself, frowning.
I’m not sure, but I have a feeling that it’s not something to be overly happy about.
“But you know.”
Amid the noisy noise, a voice was heard that was unusually clear.
It wasn’t because the person who said it was special, but because it was something that everyone there was secretly curious about.
“So who is it that defeated the Blood Heavenly Horse?”
* * *
“Dan Sa-hyeok. I am a first-class warrior belonging to the Gansu Province branch.”
“… … Single-shot.”
Sima Jin felt relieved after hearing his subordinate’s report.
“It’s the first time I’ve heard that name.”
“That would be the case. It’s only been half a year since I joined the party. The membership process was also carried out in a simplified manner at the Gansu branch.”
“Are the details of the report true? Is it true that he took the life of the Blood Heavenly Demon?”
“The handwriting on the letter and the stamped seal are all those of O Du-seok, the head of the Gansu branch.”
“Ugh… … !”
Half an hour after the first messenger arrived.
The second and third messengers that flew in one after another contained the detailed inside story that Sima Jin had been looking for.
Even after reading it all, I felt like my questions were only getting deeper.
“The third letter contains a brief history of Dan Sa-hyeok’s activities.”
“Tell me.”
“Yes. It is said that he was active in the battle with Gwangpungsa that broke out near Qilian Mountain right after joining the alliance, and single-handedly took the heads of the three leaders of Gwangpungsa.”
“Hmm.”
“Afterwards, he committed several crimes, including disobeying orders and injuring his superiors, but it appears that his punishment was postponed or covered up due to special circumstances in Gansu Province.”
“What about the four gates?”
“It is unknown. It is true that he had a teacher, but it is said that he did not claim to belong to a specific sect.”
“Are you the disciple of an unknown hermit master? You must be the most difficult type in the martial arts world.”
Along with the monks passing by, he was an opponent in the martial arts world that should never be messed with.
Although it was just a joke, such things were actually somewhat connected to reality.
“It is said that we have already secured evidence regarding the blood demon’s head and his death.”
“Evidence?”
“Yes. This is the Blood Dragon Sword, the beloved weapon of the Blood Heavenly Horse.”
“Hmm.”
Samajin frowns again.
Just as famous as the Blood Heavenly Horse himself was his beloved weapon, the Blood Dragon Sword.
“Then, I guess we can really say that the Blood Heavenly Horse is dead. Of course, we need to check the authenticity of the Blood Dragon Sword first.”
“It seemed like you were going to do that anyway.”
“Huh? What does that mean?”
“According to the report… … .”
There was a hint of bewilderment in the subordinate’s voice.
“I heard that Dan Sa-hyeok has already set out for headquarters with the Blood Dragon Sword.”
* * *
Xi’an, Shaanxi Province.
It was the capital of Shaanxi Province with a history and scale that could be called a thousand-year-old city along with Luoyang.
It is also the heart of the current Central Plains martial arts world.
The headquarters of the Murim Alliance, Hwangryongseong, was located right here in Seoan.
A man arrived at such a place, and in an instant, the news caused an uproar in Huanglong City.
“Come in.”
A flower garden in the castle with petals falling.
The martial arts alliance’s military leader, Sima Jin, greeted the man.
“You are that man. Are you Dan Sa-hyeok, a first-class warrior from the Gansu Province branch of the Murim Alliance?”
“exactly.”
“You’re much younger than I thought. And… … .”
Samajin’s gaze turned over Dansahyeok’s shoulder.
A huge sword wrapped in cotton cloth.
It didn’t have the appearance of the well-known Blood Dragon Sword.
‘Was it a false report after all?’
Sima Jin’s eyebrows furrowed for a moment.
As if he had read his mind, Dan Sa-hyeok blurted out a word.
“I don’t have it.”
“hmm?”
Dan Sa-hyeok lightly touched the swordsman behind him.
“You made that expression when you realized that this wasn’t the Blood Dragon Sword.”
“… … Hmm.”
Samajin tried to calm his blushing face.
“Then where is the Blood Dragon Sword now?”
“I hid it on my way here.”
“On the way here?
“Yes. I thought it would be better to get a definitive answer first and then show it to you.”
“If the answer is yes… … .”
“As I conveyed through the first messenger, I hope that the leader of the martial arts world will fulfill his promise.”
The promise of the martial arts leader.
Whoever kills the Blood Heavenly Horse will be given one of the Murim Alliance’s possessions.
Even as a Sima Zhen, I couldn’t help but feel curious about him.
“So, what exactly do you want from the Murim Alliance?”
And the next moment, when Dan Sa-hyeok opened his mouth, Sima Jin regretted having even asked the question.
“Yellow Dragon Castle.”
“……what?”
Towards the astonished Sima Jin, Dan Sa-hyeok declared calmly.
“I wish to receive this place, the headquarters of the Murim Alliance.”
