The Genius Youngest Disciple of the Wudang Sect

Chapter 221

A guesthouse in Zhejiang Province where the rising stars of the entire martial world are gathered.

They are all here at the call of Maeng Gwang-gae.

What they do is simple.

When morning comes, they each go to their assigned areas and go to the various business establishments run by the Yellow Sea Seven Tyrants and disrupt their work.

Although it sounds very easy and simple, in fact, it is a much more difficult task than it seems.

Because while disrupting, they have to wait for the martial artists of the Yellow Sea Seven Tyrants to come, and when the martial artists come, they have to pretend to fight them appropriately and then evacuate without any damage and then return to the guesthouse.

The biggest reason why Maeng Gwang-gae went around the entire martial world and gathered only skilled rising stars is right at this point.

He didn't want to create a single victim in this mission.

"Ling'er. You've returned safely today too. Was the work not difficult?"

"Yes. Fortunately, there were no problems. What about you, older brother?"

"Of course, I had no problems either."

Hwangbo Jung-hyeon, after safely completing his mission today, came and greeted his cousin, Zhuge Ling.

In fact, it was very surprising for him that Zhuge Ling was here.

Even though they didn't usually get along that closely, since they were cousins, he had heard news of her from time to time, so he knew well that she was a body that could not learn martial arts.

"By the way, I heard that you started learning martial arts not long ago, but you've become incredibly strong. I heard that you couldn't learn martial arts, but how did you learn it?"

"I was lucky. I prayed hard to the Primordial Heavenly Lord and listened to the sermons and prayed, and a way opened up."

Zhuge Ling, although she felt a little guilty for speaking vaguely, lied skillfully.

Because it was a lie she had practiced several times at home.

The Zhuge family head had repeatedly warned Zhuge Ling not to tell anyone outside that she had received help from Wudang.

At first, she thought that it was just to prevent the prestige of the Zhuge family from being tarnished, but she was convinced by the Zhuge family head's subsequent words.

'It's not because of our family's prestige, but because of Unhwi. Just imagine if the rumor that that child received the revelation of the Primordial Heavenly Lord spreads in the Central Plains. Can that child really lead a normal life?'

Just thinking about it seems tiring.

Of course, when martial artists are active somewhere, their names spread far and wide, and they also enjoy that fame, but being widely known for having high martial arts and being known as the one who received the revelation of the Primordial Heavenly Lord will surely produce different results.

'Taoist Master Unhwi said he wanted a free life.'

She, recalling the conversation she had with Unhwi before, soon agreed with her father's words.

That's why she has no choice but to mumble like this.

"Hmm... yes. Sometimes things that you don't usually think of happen in the martial world."

Fortunately, Hwangbo Jung-hyeon took her answer as it was and moved on.

In fact, it's not that important how she learned martial arts.

Because if a strong martial artist from the Zhuge family, and even her cousin, is born, it is natural that it will be a little more of a help to the orthodox martial world.

Hwangbo Jung-hyeon was not such a narrow-minded man.

"Older brother. Do you know how long we have to keep doing this?"

At that time, Zhuge Ling changed the subject.

It wasn't that she was deliberately trying to change the subject, but she was really curious and asked.

"Actually, I don't know either. I heard briefly that it's until the Yellow Sea Seven Tyrants suffer a big blow, but when that will be..."

He, after trailing off, as if he had thought of something, looked at Zhuge Ling and said, "Ah! But I heard that the work might end sooner than I thought."

"Really?"

"Yes. A rumor has spread all over the market right now, and it is said that a disciple of a small sect called the Hwanho Sect is asking for a revenge spar with the leaders of the Yellow Sea Seven Tyrants who destroyed his sect and is defeating them all."

"The leaders of the Yellow Sea Seven Tyrants?"

"Yes. It is known that four have already been killed. Among them, three of them cowardly attacked him at once, but on the contrary, two of them were killed by him, and one was captured and dragged away somewhere."

Hwangbo Jung-hyeon knew the situation in more detail than he thought.

And that's understandable, because Unhwi and Maeng Gwang-gae had only aimed at the leaders of the Yellow Sea Seven Tyrants, and they had left the scene leisurely without touching their subordinates.

That is, it means that there is not just one or two witnesses.

Even if you can control one or two mouths, it is close to impossible to control hundreds or thousands of mouths.

That was what Maeng Gwang-gae had intended.

"The leaders of the Yellow Sea Seven Tyrants... so that's why the atmosphere around here has been so chaotic lately. Even if we go to the business establishments and cause a scene, I felt that their response was much slower."

"I felt something similar. If that avenger of the Hwanho Sect was on our side, this work would end really quickly. According to the rumors, he is said to have tremendous martial arts. Seeing that all those leaders were not even a match for ten seconds."

"He's that strong? Hwanho Sect... I've never heard of that sect."

"Perhaps he met a fortuitous encounter, or he suddenly had an epiphany and became strong."

In addition, the new leaders of the Yellow Sea Seven Tyrants. That is, the former second-in-commands had only one way to choose to protect their prestige.

That is, to spread a rumor that the avenger, An Hwi of the Hwanho Sect, is a tremendous master.

Because it is better to say that they were defeated by a tremendous master than to say that they were defeated by a nobody, so that they have at least something to say as an excuse.

"Maybe if he's that strong, he might be the best rising star of our generation."

"The best rising star?"

"Yes. Even if the Yellow Sea Seven Tyrants is a gathering of those with a low reputation, they are the leaders of a group and the rulers of a province. If he cut them down so easily, it would be safe to say that he has already surpassed the skills of our rising stars."

"As far as I know, the best is... I know it's Taoist Master Unhwi. In the past, at the Nangong family in Anhui Province, he even fought against the Changjiang Water Fortress leader, Ho Baek-gwi."

Hwangbo Jung-hyeon did not deny her words.

What Unhwi had done at that time was already known to everyone who knew in the Central Plains, and because of that, there were quite a few connoisseurs who chose Unhwi as the best rising star.

But Unhwi has one thing that is lacking.

"But since then, he hasn't done any other activities, has he? If he had properly performed chivalrous acts based on the fame he gained at that time, he would surely have gained even greater fame... It's the same this time. I heard that he received a different mission from us, but I don't know what kind of mission he is doing. At this rate, it will be difficult to gain fame in the martial world."

Although Hwangbo Jung-hyeon spoke in a cold voice, Zhuge Ling is angry.

She, while suppressing her strangely angry heart, said in a pouting voice that she could not suppress, "Isn't he doing a very important top-secret mission? I think so."

"Really? A top-secret mission... a mission that can't have any fame even after completing a very difficult mission is what is called a top-secret mission."

"Older brother, is fame in the martial world the most important thing to you? I learned that chivalrous acts are not originally done for such things."

"That's right. That's what we learn. But for us martial artists, this is all we have left. It means that whatever we do, it must be for the purpose of raising my and my family's fame."

"Why?"

"Well, since your Zhuge family is in the Five Great Families now, you don't know, but our Hwangbo family has been pushed out of the Five Great Families. To return to the Five Great Families again, we need great fame and achievements."

"Ah..."

Zhuge Ling, who was about to scold him a little more, shut her mouth.

Because she felt a sense of desperation in Hwangbo Jung-hyeon's voice a little while ago.

He seemed to be greatly hurt by the fact that the Hwangbo family was not currently one of the Five Great Families, and he seemed to be working very hard to raise his family again.

Thud—

At the moment when an awkward silence was about to flow, the inn door opened, and some people came in.

There were three of them in total, one was a smelly old beggar, one was an old man with white hair and a white beard who was twice the size of an ordinary person. And the other was a young martial artist in a clean white martial arts uniform.

Zhuge Ling recognized the face of the young martial artist who came in last among the three first.

"Huh? Taoist Master Unhwi?"

Unhwi, who had not been seen for the past few days, suddenly appeared with the old men.

At that time, the big old man with white hair said as if he were disappointed, "Ling'er. You can't see this old man, but you can only see this snot-nosed guy?"

"Grandfather? Ah, Elder Maeng Gwang-gae."

Only then do the two old men, Wave Palm King and Maeng Gwang-gae, come into view.

Hwangbo Jung-hyeon bowed his head politely to Wave Palm King.

"I greet my grandfather."

"Jung-hyeon-ah. I heard you're working hard. You're working hard for the family."

"It's something I should have done, of course. And since the mission itself was easy, it wasn't that hard."

"Hehe... yes. That attitude of humility is what makes your character."

"Isn't it all things I learned from my grandfather?"

"I never taught you flattery, you rascal."

But Wave Palm King, as if he were not in a bad mood, chuckled.

"But how did the three of you come in together?"

"Your grandfather just came to watch, and I took this Unhwi guy with me and made him do some work."

"A top-secret mission."

"That's right. And since he completed that mission yesterday, I brought him here. Since he said he has to go back after resting a little."

At Maeng Gwang-gae's words, Hwangbo Jung-hyeon said in a disappointed voice, "Taoist Master Unhwi. Are you going back like this right away? Don't you have more to do here?"

"Although I want to help more, unfortunately, I have to go somewhere. But since all the big things have been taken care of, you will do well even without me."

Unhwi, although it was polite, cut off Hwangbo Jung-hyeon's words and then, looking back at Maeng Gwang-gae, said, "By the way, Elder."

"Why?"

"What should I do with these clothes and sword? Since I've done what I had to do, it would be good if you could hold a memorial service for them."

"You're a Taoist, so why are you asking a beggar to hold a memorial service? You do it then."

"I've never done such a ritual properly, so I don't know how. Should I ask Senior Brother Un Cheol to do it? No. It would be better to ask the Shaolin monks. To appease the soul."

Hwangbo Jung-hyeon, since he couldn't understand the content of the conversation between Unhwi and Maeng Gwang-gae, couldn't interfere and just listened to the conversation.

At that time, Unhwi, after taking off his outer garment and wrapping the scabbard with the outer garment, placed it on the table next to him and, with a fist-and-palm salute, said, "At this point, the revenge of the Hwanho Sect is all paid off. I'll ask the Shaolin monks, so don't have any lingering attachments. An Hwi of the Hwanho Sect."

"...!"

"...!"

At Unhwi's words, Hwangbo Jung-hyeon and Zhuge Ling looked at Unhwi with surprised expressions.

Because since it was the topic they were just talking about, they understood what Unhwi was saying.

The martial artist of the Hwanho Sect who was said to have cut down the leaders of the Yellow Sea Seven Tyrants.

In fact, that martial artist was Unhwi.

"Tsk. When did I say you could reveal that you played the role of An Hwi here? Since the two over there didn't know, I was going to not tell anyone because I thought it would create a sense of disharmony, but he's spilling it all with his own mouth."

"Yes? Did everyone not know?"

Unhwi, scratching the back of his head awkwardly, said.

Hwangbo Jung-hyeon couldn't believe that the martial artist of the Hwanho Sect in that rumor and the Unhwi in front of him were the same person.
