Chung Myung, who had just exited the stage, approached his Sahyung and spread his arms.
“Haha. What kind of faces are you making? I am… huh?”
His Sahyung drew back from him.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh, no.”
Baek Chun gives an awkward smile. His brow is drenched in a cold sweat.
“Hmm?”
Chung Myung was perplexed by the unusual response.
“No….”
Then he took a quick step.
I’m in a hurry.
“….”
Chung Myung distorted his face as he noticed his Sahyung retreating as much as he approached.
‘Should I take a step back?’
Furthermore, no one appears to be in good health. It’s the faces, as if seen through a spell.
“No, who got a disease! Why are you avoiding me!”
“Hey, you punk! Why are you coming to people thoughtlessly! Poison is all over your body and you creeping up on us like it’s nothing! We die as soon as we get poisoned!”
“Huh?”
‘That’s correct.’
Chung Myung lowered his gaze to his body.
Of course, he wasn’t poisoned, but Tang Wei sprayed poison all over his body.
Chung Myung here. His body could detoxify the poison on its own. If they were afflicted, his Sahyung would immediately greet King Yama.
‘The bloody Saje poisoned and killed his brother disciples by accident.’
That should be absurd to say.
Chung Myung shook his head and looked around.
“Oh, my God!”
Not only his Sahyung, but also others, are gradually turning away from him.
Without a doubt! You act as if he is some sort of Epidemic God.
‘Huh?’
“Gaju nim?”
“….”
‘How come you’re so far away?’
‘A person whose name is the Tang family’s head?’
“Keuhum.”
Tang Gun coughed softly and approached Chung Myung slowly, very slowly.
Tang Gun is startled and steps back when Chung Myung takes a bold step toward him.
“Sta- Stay still!”
“….”
‘Huh… … .’
‘This is something I’m used to.’
In retrospect, it appears that his Sahyung used to react in this manner whenever he attempted to do something.
‘What kind of life have I led?’
Chung Myung wiped his sour eyes without realizing how much Chung Myung as Plum Blossom Sword Saint was a complete mess.
‘I apologize, Saje.’
‘It’s all Sahyung’s fault.’
Tang Gun received dozens of small bottles from someone running from behind while Chung Myung sighed and repented. And began to relentlessly spray on Chung Myung.
“A- Achoo!”
“Stay still! Stay still there! Don’t even cough!”
No way, these guys!
Tang Gun asked Chung Myung a subtle question, wondering if he was relieved after spraying a dozen different kinds of powder and a dozen potions.
“Can you feel the poison?”
“….”
“I’m thinking about quarantine for a week or so, but you’ll cooperate…….”
“Damn it!”
Chung Myung’s entire body was engulfed in flames at the time.
“Oh?”
The poison was completely burned away by the Samadhi Dvesha Fire. Chung Myung exclaimed and sat down, muttering.
“Oh, you’re really eating me up.”
A small fire at the fingertips is possible with minimal energy consumption. This type of fire, however, is not usually possible to create.
Furthermore, he couldn’t help but exhaust himself as he fought a fierce battle.
“Whew. Take care of it yourself now.”
Tang Gun gave the nod.
And slowly make your way onto the stage.
“Listen, Tang Wei Wonju of the Senate.”
Tang Wei jerked his head up. His body was still collapsed on the stage, as if he didn’t have any more strength.
Tang Gun gives the inner voice strength.
His voice screamed.
“Do you understand your sins?”
Tang Wei has bloodshot eyes.
“…I, I am! What sin have I committed!”
The poison remained intact despite the fact that the Dantian had been destroyed and Tang Wei had no internal strength. By the strength of his yelling, he appears to be about to leap onto Tang Gun and bite his neck off.
“If it’s a sin to lose to that monster, then so be it! But isn’t that the same with Gaju?”
Tang Gun shook his head, looking at Tang Wei, who was screaming as if she was about to vomit blood.
“Win or lose cannot be a sin. There’s another sin of yours I’m talking about.”
“….”
“Take him!”
Tang Gun’s gaze shifts to one side.
Naturally, the Tang Family member whose eyes were fixed on his words turned to one side of Tang Gun.
“That….”
“Sogaju?”
“What about Sogaju?”
Tang Pae, the Tang Family’s Sogaju, grabbed and dragged a man away.
Tang Pae was the center of attention. However, only one man, Tang Wei, fixed his gaze on the person being dragged by Tang Pae.
“H- How ….”
Tang Pae threw the prisoner onto the stage.
“I brought him, Gaju nim.”
“Well.”
Tang Gun replied coldly.
“Tang Hwa!”
“Ga- Gaju nim…….”
Tang Hwa trembled and collapsed to the ground.
“If you confess all your sins here, I will spare your life.”
Tang Hwa bit his lower lip after hearing that.
‘It’s already over.’
Tang Wei, who will protect him, has already lost strength and is lying in this condition.
Even if he stays loyal, all he has to look forward to is a miserable death or a lifetime in a dungeon.
What option has any effect?
“I- I….”
“Tang Hwa you bastard! What are you trying to say!”
Tang Wei screamed desperately, but Tang Hwa said nothing as if he couldn’t hear him.
“Tang Wei… under the direction of the Senate, I was to poison the wine and food of Mount Hua Divine Dragon.”
Everyone in the area began to stir.
Using a lethal poison in a duel?
That is a horrible thing to do.
Taking on the Gaju?
This is also a contentious issue.
But.
Even if they are all combined, they pale compared to the sin of poisoning those who will participate in a duel ahead of time. This is something that shakes the Tang Family’s fundamental identity.
This is something that a Tang Family member who uses poison should avoid doing.
“Cheonilchwi! What a terrible thing to do!”
“Wait a minute. If he were poisoned by Cheonilchwi, how did he fight?”
“It’s strange to think that Cheonilchwi would work for a man that Gwiwangnyong doesn’t even work for.”
“… that’s true.”
People who were whispering took a fresh look at Chung Myung.
They realized how terrifying Mount Hua Divine Dragon is.
Tang Gun gave a cold shout after waiting for everyone’s reaction to calm down.
“Are you sure receiving the order from Tang Wei Wonju?”
“That’s right.”
Tang Gun’s cold eyes were drawn to Tang Wei.
“Do you have any excuse?”
“….”
Tang Wei tightly closed his eyes.
‘It’s all over.’
It’s all over now.
He will never be treated as the Tang family’s elder again. And just because they formed such a faction, the Senate’s elders would all lose power and retire to the wings.
Tang Gun was able to seize complete power and control the Tang Family at will due to this one event.
“Gaju…I do this really for the Tang Family….”
“You don’t have to do anything to get results.”
Tang Gun’s voice was emotionless.
“Sincerity can be evaluated when the right process is done together. Don’t talk any more. Because my ears are going to get dirty.”
“….”
Tang Gun, who had taken his gaze away from Tang Wei, opened his mouth and looked back at all the Tang Family members.
“I order you as the head of the Great Tang Family!”
“Yes!”
The entire Tang Family knelt on the spot.
“Tang Wei, who has committed a terrible crime, will be abolished from the position of the Senate and sent to prison. Until the investigation is complete, the Senate suspends its function, and the Senate’s Elder shall not leave their homes! Until the full story of all this is clearly revealed, all members of the Tang Family will have to watch their actions!”
“I obey Gaju’s orders!”
“And!”
Tang Gun shifted his gaze to Chung Myung.
“Mount Hua Divine Dragon, Chung Myung!”
“Yes!”
Chung Myung looked him straight in the eyes this time, not joking.
“Your efforts and dedication have given me the opportunity to know and correct the terrible things that are going on in the Tang Family. I would like to express my official gratitude to you, your Sahyung, and Mount Hua Sect, as the patriarch of the Great Tang Family.”
Tang Gun clasped his hands tightly and bowed his head toward Chung Myung.
Salutations with respect.
It was the most he could do as the head of the family.
Members of the Tang Family also responded to the courtesy.
“Thank you, Mount Hua!”
“Thank you, Mount Hua Divine Dragon!”
“Thank you very much, disciples of Mount Hua!”
Everyone bowed their heads and swore at the same time.
Without realizing it, the disciples of Mount Hua who received the greeting felt their hearts warm.
‘The Tang Family recognized us.’
Mount Hua, who had been expelled from the Ten Great Sect, was recognized by the Tang Family, the rulers of Sichuan, in just a few years.
Who could have predicted that such a day would come?
Chung Myung then took a step forward.
“Mount Hua’s third-class disciples, Chung Myung, represents Mount Hua and receives thanks from the Sichuan Tang Family.”
Chung Myung took the initiative and led the way to Tang Gun.
“And… uh…….”
Then he jerked his head back, loosened his grip, and took a step back.
“Sasuk.”
“Huh?”
“This is Sasuk turn.”
“….”
“What are you doing?”
“Keuhum.”
Baek Chun, who had a dry cough, took a step forward.
He then opened his mouth to accept Tang Gun’s kindness.
“Mount Hua’s second-class disciple Baek Chun, on behalf of Mount Hua, expresses his gratitude to the Tang Family. Through this work, I hope that the friendship between the two sects will deepen and we will be able to have a sincere friendship.”
“Of course!”
Tang Gun gave a light smile.
“Of course we will.”
“Whoaaah!
“The Sichuan Tang Family will live forever!”
“Mount Hua, long live!”
Cheers erupted from all directions as Tang Gaju’s words ended.
It is the point at which Tang Gun defeated the Senate and gained full power, while also officially allying with Mount Hua Divine Dragon, who defeated Tang Wei.
It was so sudden that it was difficult for everyone to fully comprehend the situation, but everyone could see how this would benefit the Tang Family just by looking at Gaju and the disciple of Mount Hua.
A flurry of applause.
Chung Myung shrugged in the midst of this.
“You did an excellent job. The applause is excessive.”
“Chung Myung-ah.”
Back Chun looks at Chung Myung with a stiff and solemn voice.
“What?”
“You did a great job.”
“Hehe. “Of course…….”
“However!”
“Huh?”
Baek Chun’s face was filled with rage as he glared at Chung Myung.
“If you’re going to do something like this again, please let us know first!”
“No, why I have to…….”
“Of course!”
“….”
Chung Myung, who was about to say something, flinched at Baek Chun’s angry expression.
“You bastard, you may have been fine poison, but we thought you were dead!”
Yoon Jong then added from the back.
“… It’s really not that far.”
“I know right.”
Yoon Jong and Jo Gol squint and avert their gaze as Baek Chun glares back. Baek Chun looked at Chung Myung again and said it repeatedly.
“Recall what I said. If you do this again, I will not tolerate it.”
Chung Myung, who had been opening his mouth as if to say something, closes it again.
He sighed deeply, slightly distorting his face.
“Alright, alright. That’s something I’ll do from now on.”
“Damn you.”
Baek Chun lets out a sigh and shakes his head.
“First, turn your body around!”
“Yes?”
When Chung Myung entered the sight, Baek Chun grabbed his shoulder and turned him back, and the Tang Famiky people cheered.
“It’s a cheer for you.”
“….”
Chung Myung was perplexed by the outpouring of applause.
‘Have I ever gotten such applause outside of Mount Hua?’
Well
He had done countless more amazing things as Plum Blossom Sword Saint in the past, but he had never received such pure cheers.
“Wave your hand at least.”
Chung Myung’s lips curve into a smile.
What.
What do you think?
“Aigoo! Thank you very much. Aigoo! What do you mean I did something incredible? Hahahahat! Yes, yes, yes! Thank you very much.”
All of Mount Hua’s disciples burst out laughing when they saw the cheerful Chung Myung.
“Wow… That’s incredible.”
Tang Zhan trembled as he gazed off into the distance at Chung Myung.
‘I can’t believe I was trying to provoke someone like that.’
It was a good thing his neck was still attached.
“Isn’t that incredible, Sister?”
“… that’s great.”
“The world’s best Rising Star is Mount Hua Divine Dragon.” Isn’t that incredible? ”
“Not that one.”
“What?”
Tang Zhan examined her sister’s face with interest.
Tang So So’s gaze was completely fixed in one place, and Tang Zhan frowned as he came across an unexpected person.
“How are you, Iseol?”
“Hey.”
“Yes, sister.”
“I’ve made up my mind.”
“What?”
Tang So was staring at Yoo Iseol without blinking, as if she couldn’t take her gaze away from him.
“I….”
She said firmly, slightly biting her lips.
“I’m going to enter Mount Hua.”
