Invincible with Twin Swords

Chapter 51 : I'm from the Martial Alliance

As soon as I opened my eyes, everyone came running after hearing the news.

"Did you finally solve it?"

Parip hyungnim's eyes were filled with surprise and pride.

For hundreds of years, no one had been able to solve that secret.

It was only natural to be surprised that I had figured it out in one night.

"Where is it? Where is the treasure buried? Let's go right now!"

Deoksam!

Why is treasure suddenly coming up?

What on earth did you think the Heavenly Lord Sword Emperor had left behind?

"I've only just gotten a small clue, so don't make a fuss."

It's true.

The move I got from the painting can't even be called a move.

I just realized that the movements I had found were not meaningless.

"It seems I'll have to find the proper legacy of the Heavenly Lord Sword Emperor in the Forest of Swords. I don't know how much I can live up to his expectations."

What he left behind is only a way to gain enlightenment.

Just because you look at the same place from the same space doesn't mean you get the same enlightenment.

The size of the enlightenment may be different, or you may not get anything at all.

"When did the Sword Emperor visit the Forest of Swords?"

I asked Dam Sook.

"Hmm. I think it was about three or four years ago."

The Sword Emperor had also gained enlightenment in the Forest of Swords, but he had not been able to reach the state of Sword Extreme Transcending Realm and had not been able to pull out the One-Wood Divine Sword.

He had gained a small enlightenment himself by looking at the mountains and rivers of the Forest of Swords, even in a situation where there were no clues about the Heavenly Lord's Painting.

It is truly an amazing thing.

The movements that the painting had led last night were definitely familiar.

It is probably because I have learned the Sword Emperor's swordsmanship.

In the Valley of Abandoned Bugs, the Sword Emperor had said that he had gained enlightenment in his later years and had completed the Heaven and Earth Hundred Severing Sword Resolution.

That enlightenment was probably what he had gained in the Forest of Swords.

The Heavenly Lord Sword Emperor and the Sword Emperor had gained different enlightenments in the same space, separated by hundreds of years.

Heavenly Lord Sword Emperor!

Mountains and rivers of the Forest of Swords!

What kind of enlightenment will you give me?

I slowly finished my meal and went to the Changtian Sword Unit where Naeng Muyeom was.

The one who is in a hurry right now is not me.

He knows that his identity has been revealed.

He must be curious as to why I am being quiet.

- Hup! Haap!

The members of the Changtian Sword Unit were in the middle of training, sweating.

They must have realized a lot through the martial arts gathering.

That the Central Plains is wide, that there are as many unknown masters as grains of sand, and that the end of martial arts is far away.

It should have been like this.

If they had trained with this mindset, they would not have been swept away so powerlessly like a sandcastle collapsing in the ebb tide.

They would have resisted the Demonic Cult more tenaciously and persistently.

Was it a little helpful to the Martial Alliance?

A member of the Changtian Sword Unit recognized me and came running, then guided me to where the commander was.

"I haven't seen the deputy commander recently."

"Ah! Deputy Commander Peng had an important event after the martial arts gathering and went straight down to Guizhou."

Guizhou? Guizhou is where our Flying Heaven Sect is.

He didn't go down to take out his anger for losing the duel, did he?

It's a useless worry. Although he is simple and ignorant, he is not a cowardly enough guy to do that.

When I opened the door and went in, Naeng Muyeom was sitting and waiting.

Perhaps he had been waiting in that posture since the morning he had sent me a message.

"You said our meeting should be secret, but I didn't know you would ask to meet in the middle of the Martial Alliance. Haha."

"Isn't this secret enough? No one will burst open the commander's door."

"By the way, I was worried that you might run away in the middle of the night. You must know that your identity has been revealed, so why are you still here?"

I thought that Naeng Muyeom might show some action after the martial arts gathering was over.

Either run away secretly, or send an assassin to me.

But he did not take any action.

"Then why didn't you, Sect Leader, say that I was a spy? Of course, no one would have believed you."

He is not a foolish person.

He is a person who has entered the Martial Alliance with the identity of a Demonic Cult member and has even taken the position of commander.

He has that much of a head.

If I hadn't known the future, I wouldn't have noticed either.

After a moment of silence, Naeng Muyeom spoke first.

"I am a spy of the Demonic Cult!"

Ahem. If you admit it so openly, I'll be flustered.

"And I plan to continue to maintain this identity in the future."

"What about me, who has noticed your identity?"

"Didn't you, Sect Leader, not expose my identity because you also want something? Let's do this. I'll give you what you want, Sect Leader Jin, so just leave me alone. I am very satisfied with my current position."

I did not expect this development.

"You don't know what I want, do you? And to think that a spy of the Demonic Cult would just hand over information like that. This is not the Demonic Cult member I was thinking of. Shouldn't you be more devoted to the Heavenly Demon? Haha."

When the name of the Heavenly Demon came out of my mouth, his expression stiffened for a moment and then returned to its original face.

"Well, among the numerous followers, there must be at least one like me, right? Haha! By the way, seeing that you mentioned him, are you perhaps looking for 'that'?"

My breath stopped for a moment, but I answered with a nonchalant expression.

"That? You have to tell me what 'that' is for me to answer."

"Well, if not, then not. Whether you know it or not, it will probably be a satisfactory piece of information."

"What if I expose your identity after I receive the information?"

Naeng Muyeom's gaze turned sharp.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do that. Your mother, who is alone in Guizhou, will be sad that she has a son who doesn't keep his promises."

My fist under the table tightened.

He is a more vile and dangerous guy than I thought.

I have to change my plan to use him alive.

This bastard must be killed.

"I'll say it again, I am very satisfied with my current position. So I don't want to make things big either. But if you, Sect Leader, make things complicated, a carrier pigeon with your name and the location of the Flying Heaven Sect will immediately fly to the main cult. You and I will end together."

He's probably thinking of protecting his identity and getting rid of me.

"So what can you give me?"

"The biggest piece of information I have! Two of the four, and one of them!"

The revelation!

Of the four revelations, two have already been sent down.

It means he knows the content of one of them.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Are you sure that's what I want?"

"Well, you'll know when you hear the content. It will probably be a very important piece of information for you."

"Is it okay to just hand over such important information?"

"I told you earlier. That among the numerous followers of the Demonic Cult, there are people like me. People like me who don't want the world to change! Haha!"

"Well, let's at least hear it."

"Ten days! I will send the time and place in ten days. Be sure to come alone. For each other's sake."

Guizhou. The inner court of the Flying Heaven Sect.

"No, can a sect without a sect leader be called a proper sect?"

The mistress of the Golden Bird Escort Bureau said, putting down her teacup.

There is a gathering called the Peace Society.

The mistresses of the small and medium-sized sects, martial arts halls, and escort bureaus in the Guizhou region were the main members, and it was a gathering where they mainly boasted about their husbands or children while drinking a cup of tea.

Today, they were gathered in the inner court of the Flying Heaven Sect, busy boasting about their children.

"And you don't even have any disciples yet, do you? Hoho!"

The expression of Mae Okgyeong, the mother of the Flying Heaven Sect leader, Jin Danyeong, was not good.

It has already been a year since her son, the sect leader, left home, saying he had important business.

The guy who was thought to be dead came out of his coffin and swallowed the Tyrant Heaven Sect with a single duel.

And he had also accumulated a lot of wealth.

Since Steward Go was managing that wealth well, there was no shortage financially.

But shouldn't the sect leader be guarding his position?

Only then will disciples gather and the Flying Heaven Sect will be able to become the number one sect in Guizhou.

"Didn't I tell you? He left for a while because he had important business."

"Is there a case where a sect leader is away for so long? There are also rumors that he is avoiding the position because he is afraid his skills will be revealed. There are also rumors that he used some method in that duel back then."

- Thump!

Mae Okgyeong slammed down the teacup she was holding as if to break it and got angry.

"No. Before he is my son, he is the sect leader of a sect. How could you say such a thing! Where did you hear such an absurd..."

"No, because I keep hearing such things. And it's a bit absurd that he suddenly became a master after coming back to life from the dead. No, I'm not saying that, but the rumors are like that, so don't be too angry. Hoho!"

She had joined the gathering to find a good bride for her only son after losing her husband to illness.

If she had known it was a place where such thoughtless women gathered, she would not have joined.

By the way, the guy who was supposed to come back in a few months, where is he and what is he doing, even after several seasons have changed.

"By the way, I heard you have good news this time."

The mistress of the Golden Bird Escort Bureau asked the wife of the Falling Star Sect.

"Oh, well, it's nothing special. Our second son is entering the Martial Alliance this time. Hoho. As you all know, the Martial Alliance is a place where only the best martial artists in the Central Plains gather."

"Oh my! If it's the second son of that family, he's the same age as the Flying Heaven Sect's Sect Leader Jin, how did you raise him so well?"

The mistress of the Golden Bird Escort Bureau sat down close to her.

Perhaps there could have been a marriage talk with the second daughter of this family.

Recently, she seemed to have changed her mind from the Flying Heaven Sect to the Falling Star Sect and was constantly agreeing with her.

"That child's uncle is in the Martial Alliance's Guest Reception Hall. He said he might be able to find a spot in the Changtian Sword Unit. Hoho! As you know, the Changtian Sword Unit is the best sword unit in the Martial Alliance."

"Oh! The Changtian Sword Unit. As expected, a son raised well in a successful sect is different."

"So I've been staying up all night embroidering 'Changtian' on his martial arts uniform. It's been a long time since I've done needlework, but since my son is successful and might go to the Martial Alliance's Changtian Sword Unit, as a mother, I should at least do that much. Hoho."

In the distance, Steward Go was frowning.

To come to someone else's sect and only boast about her own child.

And to dare to look down on the Flying Heaven Sect leader is something that was unimaginable when the previous sect leader was alive.

The sect leader must return quickly and make the name of the Flying Heaven Sect widely known so that they will not suffer such humiliation.

"Our son will also return soon and lead the Flying Heaven Sect well. So you all should not speak so carelessly..."

"Still, he's been away for so long, so we're worried. If he gets involved in a bad incident..."

These people!

With someone else's precious son.

The mistress of the Fierce Tiger Martial Arts Hall opened her mouth again and spat out words that scratched at her insides.

"Didn't the eldest son of the Subduing Dragon Escort Bureau in the Samdo region do that? He left home and hung out with the unorthodox faction and got into trouble. Tsk tsk. He got into so much trouble that the martial artists of the Martial Alliance came to the escort bureau and there was a big fuss."

"Isn't something like that going to happen here at the Flying Heaven Sect? It would be a big problem if the sect leader gets into trouble and the martial artists of the Martial Alliance suddenly come looking for him. Hoho!"

"Th-that's absurd..."

At that moment, someone knocked on the main gate.

When Steward Go quickly opened the door, about ten martial artists were lined up, and the two words 'Changtian' on their left chests were shining.

At the very front, a martial artist who looked to be at least twice the size of an ordinary person was standing with a saber as tall as a person on his waist.

Even at a glance, he was a martial artist with a great momentum.

"We are from the Martial Alliance's Changtian Sword Unit. Is this the Flying Heaven Sect?"

At the words that they were from the Martial Alliance, all the wives who were drinking tea came running out.

They are curious as to what kind of trouble the son of this house has gotten into that the martial artists of the Martial Alliance have come looking for him.

Because the misfortune of others is always a good topic of conversation.

"This is the right place. But what kind of trouble did he get into that so many people from the Martial Alliance..."

The mistress of the Falling Star Sect stepped forward and asked, as if it were her business.

"Are you the mother of Great Hero Jin?"

"Ah, no. That person is this person standing in the back. If it's the Changtian Sword Unit, did you perhaps come to the wrong place, the Falling Star Sect? My son is also entering the Martial Alliance this time, and he might be in the Changtian Sword Unit..."

"Where is the Falling Star Sect? The Changtian Sword Unit is not a place where just anyone can enter. Get out of the way!"

The giant at the front pushed aside the mistress of the Falling Star Sect and stood in front of Jin Danyeong's mother.

The two people who had followed behind the giant were holding something wrapped in luxurious cloth.

"I am Peng Tianwei, the deputy commander of the Martial Alliance's Changtian Sword Unit."

The faces of the women standing around stiffened.

There is no one who does not know the name of the second son of the Hebei Peng family, Peng Tianwei.

Because he is a rising star who is serving as the deputy commander of the famous Changtian Sword Unit at a young age.

"I have come to deliver something from the Martial Alliance regarding the Flying Heaven Sect leader, Great Hero Jin Danyeong. I apologize for not sending a message in advance."

"No, what is the matter from the Martial Alliance? Did our son really get into some big trouble...?"

"It is about the martial arts gathering."

"A martial arts gathering? What on earth is that?"

"In the Martial Alliance, there is a martial arts gathering where we compete in skills through duels with regional sects. This time, it was a confrontation between the Flying Heaven Sect and the Changtian Sword Unit, and the Flying Heaven Sect won. It is the first victory in the twenty years since the martial arts gathering was held, and it is the first defeat for the Changtian Sword Unit."

When Peng Tianwei gestured, the two martial artists behind him removed the cloth and held out the plaque they were holding.

On the luxurious plaque, the three words 'Martial Union Plaque' were engraved.

And below it, the detailed content that the Flying Heaven Sect had won against the Martial Alliance's Changtian Sword Unit for the first time in the history of the alliance was written.

"The Flying Heaven Sect leader won against the Changtian Sword Unit commander in the last duel. And the other four disciples of the Flying Heaven Sect also showed a great fight. Therefore, I have come to deliver this plaque myself with a heart of respect as a fellow martial artist."

Mae Okgyeong carefully received the plaque.

An undeniable smile was on her lips.

The mouths of all the women of the Peace Society, including the mistress of the Falling Star Sect, were agape and could not be closed.

A feast was held for the first time in a long time in the desolate Flying Heaven Sect, which had no sect leader or disciples.

What else is filial piety?

A child's success is the greatest filial piety to a parent.
