The Lazy Young Master of the Jin Clan

Chapter 105 : Bad Unorthodox Faction Brats

"Is that what you're saying to us?"

At Cheolgyeom's question, Jin Sohyun smiled brightly.

"Yes!"

At his overly bright answer, Cheolgyeom burst out laughing.

He looked back at Ju Gilyeon and asked.

"I think an explanation of the situation is needed."

"I don't know anything."

"But weren't you with that person?"

"That's... I was tricked too! That brat said he was a servant of the Hongjung Sect!"

Even at Ju Gilyeon's fierce shout, Cheolgyeom shrugged his shoulders.

"We'll know if we watch. I'll look into this matter again when I return to the Saseong Sect. For now, first..."

Cheolgyeom's eerie pupils touched Jin Sohyun.

"I'll have to take care of you."

As a cold killing intent rushed at him, Jin Sohyun tapped the silver plaque.

"I'm a member of the Martial Arts Alliance, you know?"

"So what?"

"That's strange. Shouldn't the orthodox faction move under the rules of the Martial Arts Alliance?"

"Hahaha!!"

Cheolgyeom laughed out loud.

And then, he drew his sword.

Along with him, the fifty members of the Four Sword Unit drew their swords at the same time.

The pressure they emitted was even more intense than the power emitted by all the martial artists of the Deungho Sect and the Hongjung Sect.

‘The Four Sword Unit is this strong!’

Ju Hyeol and Ju Gilseok were surprised by the strength of the Four Sword Unit.

Of course, they knew that the prestige of the Saseong Sect was great, but this was the first time they had experienced their actual power.

All the martial artists tensed up and watched the situation at the power of the Four Sword Unit, which had only been rumored.

"Do you really think you can divide the martial arts sects into just orthodox and unorthodox? You naive brat."

"So you're an unorthodox faction?"

"Depending on the need, we can be an orthodox faction, or we can be an unorthodox faction."

"Then what about now?"

Strangely, the young martial artist who had come from the Martial Arts Alliance showed an obsession with orthodox and unorthodox factions.

At this, Cheolgyeom smiled slyly and said.

"Today, it seems the unorthodox faction would be more fitting."

As he extended his arm forward, the Four Sword Unit moved.

As the fifty-strong army approached, scattering a tremendous pressure, Jin Sohyun said.

"Ogyeong."

"Yes!?"

"Can you go to my bedchamber right now and get me my flying sword sheath?"

"Y-Yes, I understand!"

While Peng Ogyeong was running to the bedchamber, Jin Sohyun stared at the approaching Four Sword Unit.

"So you're an unorthodox faction today?"

Orthodox or unorthodox.

It was a rather important issue for Jin Sohyun.

If they had claimed to be an orthodox faction, he would have had to hold back.

But.

The Four Sword Unit was an unorthodox faction today.

So he was planning to treat them like an unorthodox faction, just for today.

"Sect Leader."

"Y-Yes, speak."

"I'll borrow a sword until Ogyeong comes."

"What do you mean... be careful!"

In the meantime, Jin Sohyun had turned his head, and the martial artists of the Four Sword Unit had rushed in.

Their blades, which had rushed in without warning, approached as if they would mercilessly slaughter Jin Sohyun.

"Die."

A martial artist of the Four Sword Unit swung his sword.

Jin Sohyun's face, who had discovered this, hardened coldly.

"I'll pass."

Jin Sohyun's hand instantly subdued the martial artist's wrist.

The Golden Grasp technique of the Maitreya Three Thousand Solutions was manifested in the estate of the Deungho Sect.

The martial artist, whose wrist had been subdued in an instant, was greatly flustered and tried to pull his hand away.

"No, you don't!"

Jin Sohyun kicked the martial artist's abdomen with his left foot.

The martial artist, who had been hit by the kick filled with internal energy, was quickly thrown back and collided with the martial artists of the Four Sword Unit who were with him.

"Keuk!"

Three martial artists were thrown back at once.

Following that, three martial artists of the Four Sword Unit stabbed with their swords at the same time.

The tips of the three swords stabbed at Jin Sohyun at the same time, but his figure blurred and then disappeared.

‘An afterimage?’

"Where did he go?"

"Above!"

The three martial artists raised their heads.

Jin Sohyun, who had appeared above them, extended his two palms.

"Get out of the way!"

Jin Sohyun's two palms fell like a thunderbolt.

Kwaang—!!

The palm force exploded, and the three martial artists were thrown in all directions, scattering blood.

Jin Sohyun, who had subdued several martial artists of the Four Sword Unit in an instant, came down to the ground and spread his two hands to the left and right.

At that, a surprising thing happened.

The swords of the Deungho Sect martial artists, who had been watching the fight, flew up on their own.

"S-Sword control...!"

Ten swords lined up behind Jin Sohyun.

"I have a lot of bad memories about the unorthodox faction."

The tips of Jin Sohyun's fingers were pointed at the remaining martial artists of the Four Sword Unit.

"It's going to sting a little... no, a lot."

The ten swords, which contained the power of a thousand hands, flew towards the martial artists of the Four Sword Unit.

"Block it!"

While they were struggling to block the ten swords, Peng Ogyeong returned.

"Brother! Here it is!"

As Peng Ogyeong threw the flying sword sheath he was holding with all his might, Jin Sohyun caught it and slung it over his shoulder.

And so, Jin Sohyun, who had regained his ten flying swords, said as if he were scolding them.

"You bad unorthodox faction brats! I'm glad I met you today!"

Jin Sohyun took out two flying swords and sent them flying quickly.

The two flying swords, which contained the power of a lightning flash, flew like a thunderbolt and pierced two martial artists of the Four Sword Unit, respectively.

"Keuk!"

The martial artists of the Four Sword Unit, who had been pierced in the thigh, fell and writhed in pain.

As the acrid smell of burning pricked his nose, Cheolgyeom, who had been standing blankly, came to his senses.

‘A master... and a master of the peak or higher!’

Cheolgyeom, who had ignored Jin Sohyun just because he was young, poured sweat all over his body.

"Damn it..."

The fifty martial artists of the Four Sword Unit were now less than ten.

As the situation turned against him, Cheolgyeom shouted.

"Head! Help me kill that brat!"

"Wh-What did you say?"

Ju Hyeol, who had been standing blankly, was startled.

"Are you telling me to fight a monster like that?"

"Then are you saying we should all die here? If you help me, I will return with the main unit of the Saseong Sect. Then no matter how much that brat is, he won't be able to get out alive!"

Cheolgyeom was desperate.

"Besides, wasn't it the Hongjung Sect that led this whole thing? To survive, we must kill that brat!"

"Keuk!"

Ju Hyeol was confused.

The man he had thought was a crazy brat who was just showing off with the Martial Arts Alliance on his back turned out to be a master of the peak or higher who could use sword control.

To deal with him, he had to pour in all the martial artists of the Hongjung Sect.

‘What should I do?’

Meanwhile, Jin Sohyun, who had been listening to their conversation, fell into a brief thought.

‘Anyway, the Hongjung Sect is just a puppet of the Saseong Sect. It's true that they are all bad guys, but I can't kill them all.’

If the fight were to become more intense here, innocent people would surely die.

To prevent this, he needed to stop the fight.

To do that, he had to completely break their momentum.

"Although it's still incomplete."

Jin Sohyun took out a flying sword and held it in his right hand.

Then, he drew out his internal energy and put it into the flying sword.

Rumble—!

The body of the flying sword began to shake violently.

As enough power gathered, Jin Sohyun shouted with all his might.

"Head!!"

At the shout that was calling him, Ju Hyeol, who had not known what to do, looked at Jin Sohyun.

"Is the Hongjung Sect an orthodox or unorthodox faction?"

At the same time as he asked the question, the flying sword passed them and was shot at the main gate of the Deungho Sect.

In the next moment.

A huge explosion occurred.

Kwa—aaaaang!!!

Along with a huge explosion that shook the earth, the main gate of the Deungho Sect was cleanly blown away.

Underneath it, a huge pit was created.

At that unbelievable power, Ju Hyeol's jaw dropped.

"Head."

At the voice of Jin Sohyun that was heard again, Ju Hyeol's head turned with a creak.

Jin Sohyun, who was standing in front of him, took out a second flying sword and asked.

"Is it an orthodox or unorthodox faction?"

"It's... an orthodox faction."

Jin Sohyun, who was satisfied with Ju Hyeol's answer, smiled brightly again.

"That's a relief! I almost killed all my fellow orthodox faction members, you know? Hahaha!"

A bright voice and words that did not suit it.

Jin Sohyun still said with a bright face.

"Then now, would you please step aside? I have to take care of those bad unorthodox faction brats."

What more could be said?

Ju Hyeol quickly led the martial artists of the Hongjung Sect and took refuge in a corner.

And so, the remaining Cheolgyeom and the martial artists of the Four Sword Unit looked at Jin Sohyun as if they were looking at the grim reaper.

"Ah, sorry. I'm not good at aiming. I'll hit it properly this time."

As Jin Sohyun raised his flying sword, Cheolgyeom quickly knelt.

"Spare me."

***

"Is it really alright to just let them go like this?"

"We're fine."

Jin Sohyun smiled brightly as he watched the martial artists of the Four Sword Unit running away as if their bottoms were on fire.

"The one in trouble is the Hongjung Sect."

"U-Us?"

Ju Hyeol, who had been standing like a sinner, looked at Jin Sohyun with a face that said, 'what do you mean?'

"Yes! Won't the martial artists of the Saseong Sect who have returned say this? That the Martial Arts Alliance has intervened in this matter, and that the Hongjung Sect has betrayed them. So if the Saseong Sect wants to survive..."

As Jin Sohyun trailed off, Ju Hyeol's face turned ashen.

"They will abandon the Hongjung Sect. They will pin all the blame on them."

"Isn't that the wisest course of action? What do you think, Head?"

It was as he said.

The Martial Arts Alliance had intervened, and they had dispatched a tremendous master who used sword control.

If things continued like this, the Saseong Sect would be on the verge of destruction, so they would somehow try to pin all the blame on the Hongjung Sect.

And they would prepare for retaliation.

To ask for the crime of betraying them.

Either way, the Hongjung Sect was in a predicament.

"Help us."

"Me?"

"Yes!"

"Why should I?"

Jin Sohyun scratched his cheek and asked with a bored face.

Ju Hyeol was desperate.

If things continued like this, it was clear that the Hongjung Sect would suffer destruction.

To survive, he had to hold on to Jin Sohyun.

"Please help us!"

"Hmm... before that, will you tell me the reason why the Saseong Sect wanted the ancestral mountain of the Deungho Sect?"

"That's..."

At Ju Hyeol's hesitation, Jin Sohyun waved his hand.

"Hey! If you don't want to, then don't. I'm too lazy to help anyone anymore."

"It's... because of the ore vein!"

"An ore vein?"

Jin Sohyun, who was blinking, looked at Ham So'eon, who was sitting opposite him.

Ham So'eon shook his head in the same way.

"I don't know anything about it. An ore vein?"

Ham So'eon asked.

"Is there an ore vein on the Deungho Mountain?"

"Yes. There is an iron ore vein under the Deungho Mountain. And it's buried with high-purity iron."

"Huh... so that's why the Saseong Sect wanted the Deungho Mountain."

The Deungho Mountain, where high-purity iron was buried.

Unfortunately, the Deungho Sect, which was the owner of the Deungho Mountain, did not even dare to dig up the mountain where their ancestors were buried.

Thanks to that, the iron ore vein had not been discovered for a long time.

In the meantime, a lost herb gatherer had accidentally entered the Deungho Mountain and had fallen into a deep cave.

The herb gatherer had suffered a serious injury, breaking his leg, but he had discovered an ore vein in a huge cavity connected to the cave.

After that, the herb gatherer, who had miraculously escaped from the cavity, had told his acquaintances what he had seen, and their story had flowed into the Saseong Sect.

"If it's high-purity iron, you can make a very excellent sword. The Saseong Sect was planning to buy the Deungho Mountain and use the iron ore vein there to make money, and they promised us the business rights of the ore vein."

"You coveted the Deungho Mountain, which is the symbol and ancestral mountain of the Deungho Sect, just for money!?"

"Hmph! What good is a mere symbol? If the Deungho Sect had known that an iron ore vein was buried in the Deungho Mountain, would they have stood by? You would have dug up the ore vein too. Wouldn't you?"

"I...!"

As the argument between the two became heated, Jin Sohyun tapped the table.

"Stop. That's a matter for Sect Leader Ham, who is the owner of the Deungho Mountain, to take care of. We should be thinking about how to deal with the Saseong Sect."

"Isn't that a matter for the Hongjung Sect to take care of?"

As Ham So'eon stepped back with his arms crossed, Ju Hyeol felt anger.

And yet, there was nothing he could do.

At that moment, Jin Sohyun stepped forward.

"There's only one way for the Hongjung Sect to survive."

"Is there a way!?"

Jin Sohyun, who had nodded his head, raised his index finger and said.

"You have to strike first."
