The Genius Youngest Disciple of the Wudang Sect

Chapter 312

Yu-hoe, looking at Un Cheol's group, grinned and said, "Hmm... you're more capable than I thought."

"......"

Un Cheol did not answer.

First of all, there was no way of knowing why he was doing this, and what he wanted.

Because Yu-hoe had skillfully not said a single word that could reveal his information until now.

The martial arts he saw were martial arts he had never seen before, and his attire was also extremely ordinary.

And more than anything, he feels that he is not using his full strength right now.

"Did you really come here without knowing anything? Were you really just passing by?"

"That's right... how many times have I told you?"

Un Cheol said, putting strength into each and every word.

Although he had been speaking a little more formally until a little while ago, he had completely dropped the formalities.

Because there was no need to be polite to an opponent who had attacked them with hostility.

Only then did Yu-hoe make a slightly troubled expression.

"If that's really the case, then we're in a bit of big trouble. Because I'm not supposed to show myself like this."

"We don't know who you are, and we don't know why you're doing this to us. No, to be more precise, we're not interested at all."

"You'll pretend you didn't see me, so please go back as you are. Is that what you mean?"

"That's right."

Then Yu-hoe, with a broad smile again, said, "I was going to do that until a little while ago, but I don't think I can."

"Why not?"

"To be honest, until you said that, I really thought you had come without knowing anything, but I saw relief in your expression just now. That sense of relief... I have a feeling that you came knowing something. It's all my intuition, but what... what can I do? I've lived my whole life according to my intuition."

"We are disciples of the Wudang Sect. Our sect already knows that we have come here. If we go missing here, hundreds of Wudang Sect martial artists will rush here."

"That's quite a scary thing. But what's the guarantee that you won't bring people back with you after I let you live?"

"I promise on the honor of the Wudang Sect."

He chuckled.

It was a clear sneer.

"Isn't there nothing more useless than the honor of a martial artist?"

At Yu-hoe's continuous wordplay-like words, Un Cheol stopped answering and slowly and firmly gathered his energy in his sword.

As if Un Cheol's will was transmitted, his junior brothers also began to gather their energy.

Yu-hoe also, as if he had noticed Un Cheol's changed momentum from a little while ago, is hardening his expression.

The moment he decided he had to kill Un Cheol.

Wasak— Wasak—

As if the bushes were shaking violently, a person appeared there.

Un Cheol, for a moment, looked there, wondering if it was Unhwi, but contrary to his expectation, it was a man wearing similar clothes to Yu-hoe.

'This is bad.'

Un Cheol bit his lip.

Because they had been evenly matched with just one Yu-hoe, if another person joined here, it would surely be a much more difficult fight.

"What did you say?!"

But the newly appeared man whispered something in Yu-hoe's ear, and Yu-hoe, who heard the story, was greatly surprised and shouted.

"Th-That's not even a plausible story!"

Yu-hoe seemed greatly flustered.

The leisurely smile he had shown to Un Cheol until a little while ago was gone, and he was fidgeting, startled.

"Let's go right away."

"Then what about those people?"

"Is that the problem now? Lead the way quickly!"

"Yes, older brother!"

Then the two of them suddenly threw themselves into the bushes and disappeared.

Even after they disappeared, Un Cheol and his junior brothers did not let go of their tension...

Un-jeong opened his mouth slightly.

"Senior Brother. I think they're really gone."

"I think so. What is this..."

Although they tried to understand this situation, since the given information was too limited, they could not understand the current situation at all.

"For now, we have to move. We don't know when they'll come again."

"But if we move, what about Unhwi? Unhwi might be looking for us."

"Hmm..."

As he was contemplating for a moment, Un-mi opened his mouth slightly.

"Senior brothers. Could it be that the sudden urgent matter that the ruffian had... was perhaps because of Unhwi?"

"Huh?"

"It's too unnatural that something so big that would make them so flustered suddenly happened here. Of course, you could think it's a coincidence..."

"It might be more natural that Unhwi caused something. Is that what you mean?"

"Yes. That's it."

They all nodded their heads at the same time. Because Un-mi's opinion was quite plausible.

"Then to meet Unhwi..."

"If we follow them, won't we find where Unhwi is?"

"That's right. Let's follow them quickly. Un-sik. Follow the tracks and find the way."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

Un-sik, in addition to martial arts, also had a talent for tracking, and he was in the midst of developing his abilities in Wudang recently.

He went into the bushes where the two ruffians had disappeared a little while ago, and a little while later, Un-sik shouted from there.

"Come this way. Fortunately, the ground is soft, so they left footprints."

"I see. Let's follow them quickly."

They hurriedly put out the fire, packed only the essentials, and began to move.

***

"Hwii-yuu... that was tough. Am I out of the formation now?"

I, stretching my back, which was starting to ache, muttered to myself.

As I turned my waist this way and that, I even heard a cracking sound.

It's no wonder my back hurts.

Because behind me, there were at least a few thousand trees that had fallen.

Although it's just cutting trees, it's not an easy task to cut down this many in a short time.

I feel anew how much my martial arts have developed.

If it were a few months ago, my internal energy would have been completely exhausted by the time I had cut down about a thousand trees, and I would have had to circulate my qi, but now, I still have enough internal energy that I don't need to replenish it.

Rather, I feel that my body, which has trained and trained so much, can't keep up, more than my internal energy.

Hwii-ing—!

At that time, a gust of wind flew by and wrapped around me.

Jjaek-jjaek—

And from here and there, the sound of mountain birds chirping is heard.

Thanks to that wind and the sound of birds, I realized that I had escaped from the formation.

Because when I was trapped in the formation a little while ago, not a single gust of wind blew, and I couldn't see any animals or birds.

"For now, I should go back quickly and take care of my senior brothers. They'll be worried."

I, for now, looked around to figure out where this place was.

But what I can see around here is, as expected, only trees, trees, and trees.

Still, after roughly finding the direction with the position of the sun, I was about to perform a movement technique, spreading my qi sense to find my senior brothers.

But right at that moment.

Swii-ik!

A sharp energy flew at my head, and I tilted my head back to avoid it.

It's sword qi. Although I haven't confirmed who it is yet, a master who can throw sword qi has attacked me.

I drew the sword I had put away again and turned my body towards the direction the sword qi had flown from.

There, three men were rushing towards me.

The three of them were wearing gray martial arts uniforms, and their faces were very angry.

"Th-This bastard!"

The man at the very front among them shouted and rushed at me.

Judging from his movement technique and the swirling energy, he must be a considerable master.

Why is such a master suddenly in a mountain like this?

And although I don't know why he is suddenly rushing at me angrily, since I can't be hit by his sword, I fought with him for a few blows.

Chae-chae-chae-chaeng!

The man's sword was all deflected by my flowing Cloud Sword Art, and he made a flustered expression.

It seems he didn't expect his attack to be blocked so easily.

He shouted with a face full of frustration.

"Who are you! Where did you suddenly appear from and cause such a ruckus!"

"A ruckus? I don't think that's something a person who swings a sword out of the blue should say to me. You're the one causing a ruckus."

"No, that outfit! Are you perhaps also a Taoist of the Wudang Sect?"

"Me too?"

I quickly rolled my head.

There is only one person who would be wearing the same clothes as me around here.

Only my senior brothers.

"You've met my senior brothers. What did you do to them?"

"What do you mean, what did I do! I showed them who's boss."

"What?"

"This is not a place where outsiders can roam around. But you guys are ruining this place."

"Did you perhaps... kill them?"

For a moment, my tone became stiff without me realizing it, and strength entered my voice.

"No! I didn't even have time to kill them! I came running straight here because of you."

The man was talking nonsense, so much so that I couldn't understand what he was saying.

But if I were to guess, it seems he probably ran into my senior brothers and fought, and in the middle of the fight, he came here because of me.

Then the reason he came...

'It must be because I broke the formation.'

Come to think of it, there is only one reason.

It's because I have devastated the surroundings.

"Then my senior brothers are alive, right?"

"That's right! This... I have to restore the formation... to think you'd cut down all the trees instead of breaking the formation. Such a foolish act!"

"Foolish? Don't you know that saying? If your body is good, your head is comfortable."

"What did you say?"

"Anyway, reveal your identity. Were you perhaps guarding this formation?"

He hesitated for a moment and then answered.

"That's right. We have been guarding this place for a very long time. Although I never thought something like today would happen..."

I looked at them carefully.

Although I didn't know it when I first saw them, the attire they are wearing also has a strangely old-fashioned scent, and since they seem to have patched it up with cloth of a similar color several times, different cloths are added here and there.

It seems they have spent quite a long time here.

"No way..."

At that time, a thought flashes through my mind.

I have a feeling that finding the treasure of the Meteor King might become easier.

"You guys. Are you perhaps related to the treasure of the Meteor King?"

"......!"

"Heok!"

They couldn't hide their surprised expressions at all.

After making eye contact with each other, the man at the very front looked at me and opened his mouth.

"How... do you know about the existence of that treasure?"

"Well. Because my purpose in coming here is to find it."

"By what means? The treasure of the Meteor King is not something a brat like you can take. Unless you happen to have a treasure map that was lost from the tomb."

"Ah. A treasure map?"

I, taking out the well-rolled treasure map from my bosom, shook it at them and said, "Are you perhaps talking about this?"

"N-No. How?"

"How does a Taoist of the Wudang Sect have that!"

"What is your real identity?"

They, surprised, began to speak, almost shouting.

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Didn't you say it first? Am I also a Taoist of the Wudang Sect? Unhwi of the Wudang Sect. That's my identity."

But my answer didn't seem to be enough.

Chae-aeng!

Because the other two suddenly drew their swords.

"You bastard, you don't want to reveal your real identity. We'll force your mouth open."

"If you don't want to believe me, don't. And conversely, that's what I want to say."

"What do you mean?"

"Tell me everything you know about the tomb of the Meteor King. I'll force your mouth open."
