The Genius Youngest Disciple of the Wudang Sect

Chapter 143

The Evil Way Alliance is a gathering of Unorthodox Faction sects created to reclaim the glory of the Evil Way Union, which disappeared in the past Righteous-Evil War.

And those guys are the culprits who will prevent the orthodox martial world from developing properly in the future.

Because about ten years from now, the guys from the Evil Way Alliance will rebel against the orthodox martial world and cause a small dispute, and in the process of resolving that dispute, many orthodox martial artists will die, setting back the level of the martial world by at least ten years.

So even if I go around the Central Plains like this and raise the level of the orthodox martial world, a mishap where it goes backward because of those guys could happen.

'I was wondering how I should get involved with those guys... and I get involved like this.'

As I was lost in thought for a moment, Gongsun Huan said to me, "Just as they hired martial artists to intimidate us, we were also thinking of hiring martial artists."

"And, you're saying that the martial artist you want to hire is me?"

"That's right."

But right at that moment.

Gongsun Huan's bodyguard, who had been silent next to him until now, opened his mouth.

"Master. I am very sorry to interrupt, but may I say one thing?"

"Yes. Please speak."

"Actually, I don't quite understand why you are talking about this right now, master."

"What part don't you understand?"

"No matter how much of a Taoist master from the Wudang Sect he is, in my opinion, he looks too young. How much power could a child like that have? The guys from the Red Snake Gang are people who really kill people. Although they pretend to be a proper sect on the outside, they are real villains who kidnap, rob, and murder as if it were a daily routine."

"So what do you want to say?"

The bodyguard turned his head towards me and said, "I would like you to reconsider hiring that child. If the child gets into trouble while getting involved in our business, I am afraid that the anger of the Wudang Sect might be directed at us."

At his words, a small laugh escaped me without my realizing it.

As I laughed in this situation, the attention of everyone here was focused on me.

"You're saying some disappointing things. Actually, I've been curious about something since a while ago. From what I can feel, you guys seem to have learned martial arts quite a bit, so why haven't you stepped forward yourselves and have just been taking it until now? I think you could have easily blocked those guys from the Red Snake Gang, whom I've never even heard of or seen, with your skills."

As if they had never expected me to come out like this, they looked at each other, and then the man from a little while ago said to me, "We must protect our master from the closest. We cannot be separated for a moment, so we cannot face the guys from the Red Snake Gang."

"It's not that you're afraid to face the Red Snake Gang?"

"What did you say?"

"Isn't that right? If you're confident in your skills, you could have just charged into that Red Snake Gang or whatever and beat them all up, or if that's not possible, you could have just killed them all, and the problem would have been solved, but you're just hiding behind your master, saying 'master, master,' and doing nothing."

At my words, the bodyguard, as if he were very angry, glared at me and said, "Do you even know how many people are in the Red Snake Gang to be talking like that? Their number is over two hundred. And although the small fries are not even a handful, the executive level is on a different level. There's even a guy who was directly dispatched from the Evil Way Alliance."

"So, you're saying you're afraid you'll be broken if you fight the guy who came directly from the Evil Way Alliance? Right now."

"What would be the easiest way for them to take over our Flying Dragon Inn? It's to assassinate our master. I'm not hiding in fear, but I'm protecting the person who must be protected here."

I snorted and answered him, "That's a logically perfect excuse. But why are you even interfering when your master is trying to do something? Since there's no way to bring in other outsiders right now, it seems he's trying to rely on me... and now that I think about it, there's something else that's strange. Why hasn't Gongsun Huan been able to ask for help from the outside until now?"

I made eye contact with everyone here, one by one, and then said, "If the situation is this serious, I would have immediately reported it to the authorities. What, is the magistrate just appointed here for show to manage the region, and is the imperial court just playing around? Then?"

The reason I made eye contact with each of them one by one was to naturally see Mo Yong-hae's face.

I saw it clearly. His face, nodding his head enthusiastically as if he were possessed by something.

"Aha...? Is it something like that? Not a bodyguard... but are you monitoring him?"

"......!"

"Hup!"

They reacted violently to my light words.

I smiled and said, "I see. The ones who came from the Evil Way Alliance are you guys, right?"

"Wh-What nonsense...!"

"Nonsense? Why not? I can't understand this situation otherwise."

"If you continue to insult us, we will not stand by!"

"What are you going to do if you don't stand by? No, never mind. It's annoying to argue like this, and if I catch you and beat you up a few times, you'll tell the truth."

Pa-ak!!

The moment I said that, I kicked off the ground and performed the Flowing Cloud Lightness Skill, and rushed at the bodyguard closest to Gongsun Huan... no, the guy who is presumed to be a martial artist of the Evil Way Alliance.

My current internal energy is at a level that can be said to have reached the ranks of a top-level master.

It is not a speed that a martial artist who has not even reached the first-rate level can easily react to.

Bba-ak!

My knee, which had jumped up, exploded on the guy's chin, and the guy fell backward.

The moment I fell, I kicked off the knee of the guy who was falling, not the ground, and shot at another guy right next to him, and then I slit his throat with my sword-drawing technique.

"Keu-reuk..."

The guy grabbed his throat and fell forward with a thud.

Chae-chae-chaeng!

The three who were fine now drew their swords with a loud noise.

I slowly stepped back, struck the vital point of the guy I had knocked down first to completely knock him out, and then I stood in front of Gongsun Huan as if to protect him.

"If I made a mistake just now, tell me quickly. I don't know if it will be meaningful since I've already killed one person, but I'm still going to stop now."

"You don't have to. Those guys are the ones sent by the Red Snake Gang to monitor me."

"Fortunately, it seems I have grasped the situation correctly."

"Yes... thank you very much."

"But this fight is not completely over yet, is it? Please thank me after I've caught those three. Uncle Mo Yong-hae, hurry up and stick to me."

"Yes. Taoist master!"

Mo Yong-hae stood close to Gongsun Huan, and I glared at the remaining three.

They were also glaring at me with their swords drawn, and they seem to have quite a bit of backbone.

They probably didn't even see properly how the first two were taken down, but it is praiseworthy that they didn't think of running away even after seeing the difference in our skills.

Of course, I have absolutely no intention of letting them live or sending them away quietly.

Kung!

I strongly rolled on the ground and used that rebound as a driving force to shoot at the guy in the middle of them.

Although he reflexively raised his sword to block my sword, he cannot block my sword with such a clumsy swordplay.

In the first place, I had expected him to raise his arm and had swung my sword at where his arm would be.

Seo-geok!

His two hands fell to the ground, still holding the sword tightly.

I kicked the hands and the sword far away, and this time I swung my sword at the guy on the left.

Kka-ang!

The first metallic sound I've heard while fighting them.

However, his and my appearances were very different.

Because the Red Dragon Sword was filled with the true energy of the Six Yang Divine Art that matched it, he suffered an internal injury from this one move and spat out a fountain of blood from his mouth, while I was completely fine.

"N-No way. How can such a master."

The last remaining guy.

As if he had finally become capable of rational judgment, he turned around and started to run away.

In a natural motion like flowing water, I picked up the sword that had fallen on the floor and threw it at the guy's back.

Hwi-hwi-hwi-hwik— Pu-uk!

The sword accurately stuck in the guy's back, and he died as he fell.

"Ugh-euk."

"Keu-heu-euk..."

As the surroundings suddenly became quiet as if water had been sprinkled, only the groans coming from the mouths of the one guy whose arm was cut off and the one guy who had an internal injury filled this place.

I approached them and sent them away without pain by striking their skulls with the hilt of my sword.

"Hoo..."

And after taking a breath, I said to Gongsun Huan, "I wondered why you were holding on to me so desperately, but you had such a situation. Are there any other people who are monitoring you besides these guys?"

"No. There are none. These guys were all of them."

Although he looks like a gigolo, he seems to be a person with a considerable amount of courage.

If I had thought that they were really bodyguards and had gone back as I was, it was as clear as day what kind of treatment I would have received from them later.

For some reason, he had trusted me and made a gamble.

"Then shall we hear the details of what happened now?"

"Yes... before that, may I clean these guys up?"

"Ah! Of course."

When he gestured to Mo Yong-hae, he skillfully called the people who worked at the inn and moved the bodies outside and wiped the flowing blood.

"Why is everyone so skilled? It seems this wasn't the first or second time this has happened."

"That's right. The only difference from before is that the bodies that my inn people had cleaned up until now were my real bodyguards and the inn family members who resisted them..."

He said with a gloomy face.

Anyway, the Evil Way Alliance and the Red Snake Gang. They seem to be more vicious than I thought.

"Then it's not that they're trying to take over the inn, but it's safe to say that it's almost already been taken over?"

"It was like that until now. But not now. Didn't you just save me, Taoist master?"

"If it's this bad here, is the brothel you run together okay?"

"Actually..."

He paused for a moment and then continued, "All of this started when they coveted my brothel. Even now, the brothel is full of martial artists from the Red Snake Gang and the Evil Way Alliance."

I think I know what the situation is.

Well, it's an inseparable matter in places where a lot of money moves, like brothels or large inns.

Usually, in preparation for such cases, they would request protection from an escort agency or a nearby sect, but either that didn't work out well...

Or whether they were all in it together is something I can find out gradually from now on.

I pulled a chair and sat down in front of him with a thud, and then said, "Now. Then shall we talk about what happened and what you want? Oh, and before we talk, I'd like to talk about the remuneration first. Employer?"

He nodded his head as if he were possessed.

I can help an innocent person, earn money, and it seems I can also get information about the guys from the Evil Way Alliance...

If I solve this matter well, I think I can get a two-for-one, no, a three-for-one effect.

When I wake up tomorrow, I should first send a letter to the Wudang Sect.

That my return to Wudang might be a little later than planned.
