Episode 185 King of Beasts (5)âThis is urgent!â
âfor a moment.â
The hand exposed from the flowing sleeves was holding a flower. The flowers held in the old manâs neat and pretty hands were dyed in seven mysterious colors.
âWell, this guy wonât work. Letâs seeâ¦â
The old man, who had put the flowers in the water bottle on the table, bowed again.
âNot this guy⦠not this one⦠oops! âIt was there!â
The old man smiled brightly as he carefully pulled out a flower. Even though he appeared to be over 70 years old, his bright childlike expression was impressive.
âThis is the third time the Ten Colored Flowers have bloomed. âThis is truly encouraging.â
The flowers that made me feel at peace just by looking at them were in ten different colors. Even better, the color kept changing every time I looked.
It was clearly an artificially cultivated flower with a mysterious appearance that could not grow in nature.
âI guess we can send this guy to the room manager. âRecently, my chronic illness has worsened, so I heard that I will be doing it tomorrow. I hope I can gain some strength.â
The old man, who had wrapped the flower in a wet cotton cloth prepared in advance, patted his waist.
âAs I get older, it becomes difficult to tend a flower garden. âIs it time for me to go now?â
I often mumble to myself. Even though there were people next to me, I didnât pay any attention.
Only then did the old man, wiping his hands with a handkerchief and holding a teacup, speak to the man.
âSo whatâs going on?â
The man lowered his head.
âKing Nam is dead.â
âHoo?â
âIt is said that he died fifteen days ago in Aeneoshan Mountain, Yunnan. âIt is expected that the assassination will be from the Demonic Church.â
The old man stroked his beard.
âThatâs so troublesome. Those rough weeds should not be pulled up now.â
Even though I heard the name of the Beast Palaceâs death and that it was a demonic cult, I was not particularly shaken. Even if you hear that the kids in the neighborhood next door fought among themselves, you wonât feel this relaxed.
âBesides, itâs a mountain of sorrow?â
âyes. Andâ¦â
The man hesitated for a moment and then lowered his head.
âIt is said that the elite troops that the Beast Palace brought to Aenei Mountain clashed with the Tang family troops.â
âhmm?â
The old manâs eyebrows twitched. He looked quite interested.
âYou clashed with the Tang family?â
ââ¦Thatâs right.â
âWeeds and poisonous plants are tangled together⦠I knew they were secretly holding hands with me. âDid something suddenly go wrong?â
âThe exact circumstances are unknown at this time. However, it is said that traces of the Tang familyâs heavy rain fire acupuncture needle, Chilbodanhonsan (䏿¥æ·éæ£) Chuwangpyo, and Tangga iron tablet were discovered.â
The old manâs eyes were curved like a crescent moon.
âEven with the King of Chu and the Iron War, the heavy rain and the Chilbora⦠these are items that cannot be used without permission from the head of the family.â
ââ¦.â
âI expect it to be from the Demonic Church?â
âThatâs right.â
The old man, lost in thought for a moment, nodded.
âIt seems that information has reached the Demonic Cult that the two sides are meeting at Aeneosan Mountain. Thatâs why I was attacked by the Demonic Cult. âBecause Aeneosan Mountain is an important place for the Demonic Cult.â
ââ¦.â
âThe only question is that the trained Beast Palace and Dangga actually fought.â
The old man shrugged his shoulders. He looked like a mischievous person.
âThatâs not the point to know. âItâs not important.â
The old man took a sip of tea and fell into thought again.
It was after half hour that he opened his mouth.
âDangaju?â
âThatâ¦â
A look of bewilderment appeared on the manâs face.
âThe Tang family strictly controls information⦠but there are several testimonies coming in that say they saw the Tang family near Yunnan. âI didnât tell you because it wasnât certain information.â
âAs expected.â
The man looked at the old man quizzically.
The old man chuckled.
âThat guy is definitely a rare martial artist, but his level is lower than that of other family heads. The reason he became the head of the family was purely due to his bloodline and fine hair. So there are a lot of opponents in the house.â
ââ¦.â
âThe justification and power are weak to purge the opposition. To such a person, the poisonous plants supplied from Aeneosan Mountain would be very attractive.â
âAhâ¦â
âAeneosan Mountain is a place that benefits both sides. There is a high probability that he went there himself. But if the party is blocking information, most likely he will be dead or missing.â
The old man shook his teacup. The cool tea water that had been simmering slowly began to boil.
âThis will bring good luck to the Tang family.â
That was great insight. Even with only a few pieces of unconfirmed information, the incident was inferred almost accurately. This probably means that he has excellent insight and a broad perspective.
But the man was secretly curious. It was difficult to understand the old man who cared more about Tang family than Demonic religion.
âWho was the leader of the opposition?â
âAh, this is Dangyanghwa.â
âContact him. âLetâs take a look.â
At first glance, greed flickered in the eyes of the old man, who was full of leisure and kindness. The greed was so extreme that even the man who had cared for the old man for decades had shivers down his spine for a moment.
âItâs time to put reins on the coltâs snout that has been running wild.â
âAll right. But what do you plan to do with the Demonic Cult?â
âIs there any other way to leave it alone?â
ââ¦.â
âItâs not difficult to start a war if you put your mind to it. But if we start a war, we wonât be safe either. âI donât want to take risks when I havenât been able to properly protect the beggars I brought in from outside the country.â
âYes.â
âThey must be a natural disaster. You canât think of it as an enemy you have to fight and defeat. âAt least for now.â
The old man looked up at the sky.
A subtle regret appeared on his relaxed face.
âIf that guy hadnât run away⦠it would have been worth a try.â
* * *
Crumble.
Yeo Kang-hwi stared at Geumho, who was chewing on the deer with a shocked expression.
âThis is it.â
The deer caught near Aeneosan Mountain was almost the size of an ox. It was truly an amazing appetite to eat almost all but the neck of such a deer.
âItâs amazing to eat. âThey say it is a spiritual object.â
Geumho glanced at Yeo Kang-hwi.
Even though he thought it couldnât be possible, he somehow seemed to understand what he was saying. Yeo Kang-hwi cleared his throat and waved his hand.
âIâm sorry. âEat what youâre eating, buddy.â
Crash! Tsk tsk tsk.
âEven the bonesâ¦â
Yeo Kang-hwi, who had been watching Geumhoâs meal as if fascinated, suddenly felt a presence and looked back. Wei Hongryeon was there.
She licked her lips.
âItâs a lot bigger than when I saw it a long time ago. âNow itâs bigger than an average tiger.â
Yeo Kang-hwi smiled.
âAre you here?â
âOh yeah.â
Wei Hongryun greeted half-heartedly. As she was the minor owner of the Beihai Ice Palace, she was not someone to be concerned about, but since she was Confuciusâ guest, there was nothing to worry about.
âNo more rest.â
âYou have to do something to rest. Besides, itâs hard to sleep in places like this.â
After the work at Aeneosan Mountain was completed, the party stayed for a while in a large cave at the eastern end of Aeneosan Mountain.
Sima Zhang Zhangqiu was well versed in the geography of Mount Aei. This is because he has been tasked with guarding Yeongcho sent from Cheonsu Valley dozens of times. This cave was a resting place recommended by Zhang Chu.
The problem was that no matter how big the cave was, there was not enough space to accommodate hundreds of people.
In the end, Jinma-dae and Chilma-jang returned to Singyo, and only Sima-jang and Gwangma-dae remained here to guard Seoryang.
Wei Hongryeon grumbled.
âWhen are you going to come down?â
âIt will come down when the details of the Three Confucius become better.â
Seoliangâs condition was more serious than expected.
The internal injuries sustained in the fight were internal, but the internal and external injuries suffered when climbing out of the collapsed cliff were very severe. Due to the tense situation, injuries that were not even recognized by the person caused problems immediately after the fight was over.
Fortunately, the level that Seoryang has achieved is extremely high, and his resilience is much better than that of other magicians. If I hadnât done that, I would still be lying there unable to come to my senses.
Wei Hongryeon sighed softly.
Yeo Kang-hwi had a look of puzzlement on his face.
âWhy are you doing that?â SÑará´h the NovelÆire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âItâs overwhelming.â
âAre you feeling overwhelmed?â
âThe Three Princes.â
âAhâ¦â
âWhen we last broke up, you were the head of the Seven Families, but now youâve become a complete monster. âAlready, my crotch would have been torn apart trying to chase after him, but now he flew off to a place I couldnât even see.â
âI see.â
âI wonder if the day will ever come when I can strike the right sword.â
âyes?â
âOh, donât misunderstand. Itâs just because I was wondering if the day would come when we could get together properly. âBut even though Iâm the leader of a combat unit, I canât fall behind others.â
Yeo Kang-hwi was inwardly surprised.
Due to Seoryangâs personality, it was not strange for him to get along informally with his subordinates, but it was not easy for a subordinate to think that way about his superiors.
âMaster Wei is truly a great person.â
âWhat.â
âWell, in many ways.â
âIn my opinion, Lord Sogung is greater, right?â
âyes?â
âHow did you happen to join hands with the Three Princes?â
Yeo Kang-hwi smiled awkwardly.
âIt just so happened that it happened that way. Besides, wasnât the Three Confucius the person who brought about the greatest fortune in modern Christianity? âI thought it was a good thing for both sides.â
Wei Hongryun snorted.
âDonât get eaten.â
âyes?â
âOur Confucius may seem like a pretty good person, but he is a person who will not hesitate if he makes a mistake. He is a person who would burn down the Demon God Palace for his own purposes. âIf you get caught up in it, you wonât be able to recover even a single bone.â
Oh my god, is this woman really a demon from Protestantism?
Aside from his way of speaking more like a man than a man, his conversational skills are no joke. Even though he is a disciple of the religious leader, he canât believe he makes such an evaluation in front of others, even outsiders.
âI will keep the risk in mind.â
âWell, you donât need to keep anything in mind. âIf it happens anyway, we wonât be able to stop it.â
ââ¦.â
âOh, look at my mind.â
Wei Hongryeon took out a letter from her arms. The letter looked extremely dirty.
âThis one.â
Yeo Kang-hwi accepted the letter with trepidation.
âWhat is this?â
âI went down to get some food and got it. âIt was a letter from Gongju Soâs younger brother, but it was long, so I asked him to just write it down.â
I am very happy to receive a letter from my younger brother. But before that, I had a question. What on earth did he do to make the letter so dirty?
âAnyway, now that Iâve told you this, Iâm going to take a break.â
âyes. Please rest.â
It was then.
Cry.
Geumho let out a soft cry. He lowered his posture and raised his eyes, and the sight looked very cruel.
Wei Hongryun frowned.
âWhy is it like that again?â
Slurp.
The two peopleâs eyes turned to the side when they heard the sound of something moving.
A huge monster was coming out of the bushes and approaching. Even though it had such a large and heavy body, it was so secretive that even two experts could not detect its presence.
Wei Hongryunâs mouth dropped open.
ââ¦What is this monster again?â
Saaaaagh.
A chill emanated from Yeo Kang-hwiâs body. His eyes suddenly became sharper.
âPlease step back.â
âEh?â
âItâs a monster called Tiger. âIt is a tiger raised by the Beast Prince.â
Cheeeeeeeek.
The demonic energy soared from Wei Hongryunâs body as well.
âwhat? âHave you come to take revenge for killing the landowner?â
Sabak. Sabak.
Geumho blocked the two people.
The King of Tiger wrinkled his nose.
Growling.
The King of Tigerâs eyes glaring at Geumho was unusual. Yeo Kang-hwi and Wi Hong-ryeon felt goosebumps rising from the deadly force radiating from their entire bodies.
Flash! Flash!
Geumhoâs eyes, glaring at the king, were colored with five colors. It seemed like it was going to rush to the king at any moment.
A war of nerves between beasts that broke out out of nowhere.
At that time, a heavy voice was heard from one side.
âstop.â
King Tiger turned his head.
Ma Dong-pil, carrying the Ink King Sword on his shoulder, spoke calmly.
âConfucius is calling. Come here, Geumhodo.â
The two beasts glared at each other again.
But to his surprise, the two animals walked towards Ma Dong-pil.
Wei Hongryunâs eyes bulged like a bullâs.
ââ¦Human?â
