There was tension in the Qingcheng mountain.
It was because of the crowd who visited at sunset. The people who climbed Mount Qingcheng carrying a coffin with the body were Tae Yeon-ho and the martial artists of the Thunder Gates.
The warriors of the Qingcheng sect looked displeased at the martial artists who visited without notice. It was not considered polite in Jianghu to make such a sudden visit with another sect without a message in advance.
Much less, the Qingcheng sect is a sacred sect with ties to Taoism.
There was no reason to allow a group with swords to enter without permission. However, the matter was so urgent that the Qingcheng sect had no choice but to let in the martial artist of the Thunder Gates.
They are now facing each other in a big hall in front of the great Daejeon.
In the middle between the Qingcheng sect and the Thunder Gates, there was an Ongwan held from the bottom of the mountain.
At that time, the top leaders walked out from Daejeon. As they appeared, the warriors of the Qingcheng sect bowed their heads.
In the center of the leadership was Muryeongjin, the sect leader of the Qingcheng sect.
Muryeongjin looked at Tae Yeon-ho with clear eyes and said,
“What do you mean by this, sect leader Tae?”
“That’s what I wanted to ask, sect leader Muryeongjin.”
“Tell me what happened. Why did you bring a coffin to the sect?”
“In this coffin is the body of my disciple.”
“It’s unfortunate that sect leader Tae’s disciple died, but I don’t think this has anything to do with our sect.”
“What do you mean you don’t know?!”
Tae Yeon-ho opened his eyes and looked at Muryeongjin. At that, the disciples of the Qingcheng sect were furious.
“Show some respect!”
“How dare you persecute the sect leader of our Qingcheng sect!”
The disciples of the Qingcheng sect had the momentum to attack the martial artists of the Thunder Gates at any moment. This was the home of the Qingcheng sect, so their power and numbers were superior.
If the Qingcheng sect wanted to, they were capable of subduing all of the martial artists of the Thunder gates who came up here in a hurry.Nevertheless, the reason why Muryeongjin and the rest of the disciples keep their manners is because of their roots as a Taoist.
Muryeongjin raised his hand to calm down the agitated disciples. He then asked Tae Yeon-ho,
“I really don’t have any idea what you’re talking about.. Can you explain to me what happened?”
As the news of Nam Ho-san’s assassination had not yet been reported to the Qingcheng sect, Muryeongjin did not know why Tae Yeon-ho was making such a fuss.
“Okay. Then I’ll show you myself.”
Tae Yeon-ho opened the coffin lid. Then the body of Nam Ho-san, lying in a miserable state, was revealed.
“Ugh!”
“Amitabha Buddha!”
The appearance of a corpse full of terrible sword slashes was enough to shake the hearts of the Qingcheng sect warriors.
“This is the body of my disciple. Do you not feel anything when you see this child?”
“I express my deepest condolences to the disciple’s misfortune. But what do we have to do with the disciple’s death?”
“Can’t you see this child’s wound? Even though it’s a wound from the Seventy-Two Sword Waves!”
“No way.”
It was then that the Muryeongjin people and the rest of the department heads took a closer look at the scars left on Nam Ho-san’s body.
“Hm!”
“Are you saying it’s really the Seventy-Two Sword Waves?”
They unknowingly let out a sigh. This was because the scars left on Nam Ho-san’s body were traces that appeared when the Seventy-Two Sword Waves was used.
A confused expression appeared on Muryeongjin’s face.
This is because the Seventy-Two Sword Wave was definitely a technique of the Qingcheng sect.
Tae Yeon-ho shouted,
“Are you still going to deny it? My disciple was assassinated by an assassin using the Seventy-Two Sword Waves of the Qingcheng sect. This cannot happen without the Qingcheng sect killing him.”
“Sect leader Tae! Calm down first.”
“How can I calm down? My disciple was killed by the sword of the Qingcheng sect.”
“I’ll figure this out—”
“Do not procrastinate, and give me a proper explanation. Is it because you think that if my disciple marries the Woo Seolha of the White Flower Room, we will be on the side of the Emei sect? Are you worried about the Emei sect that much? Enough to commit such a cowardly thing.”
At the words of Tae Yeon-ho, Muryeongjin’s eyebrows twitched.
At that moment, the lion’s hood exploded.
“Go!”
After the huge roar that resounded all over the Qingcheng sect, Tae Yeon-ho and the rest of the Thunder Gates covered their ears and stumbled.
At that time, a man with a cold expression jumped out from among the department heads.
A middle-aged man reduced the space in an instant and appeared in front of Tae Yeon-ho. He was Mu Jeong-jin, the strongest warrior of the Qingcheng sect.”
A ferocious light flashed in Mu Jeong-jin’s eyes as he looked at Tae Yeon-ho.
Muryeongjin, who saw it, cried out.
“Don’t!”
“How dare you! I won’t forgive you for barging into our sect and making a fuss!”
Mu Jeong-jin did not care and extended his hand to Tae Yeon-ho.
It was one of the techniques of the Qingcheng sect, Wind Thunder Palm.1
“No!”
Tae Yeon-ho quickly drew his sword and performed a defensive stance. However, it was not enough to block the sword of Mu Jeong-jin.
Bang!
Tae Yeon-ho’s body bounced back with the explosion. The sword he was holding split due to the formidable power of the Wind Thunder Palm.
Mu Jeong-jin jumped and then followed Tae Yeon-ho.
Tae Yeon-ho bit his lip at the unfamiliar flashing eyes and fierce momentum.
Mu Jeong-jin’s Wind Thunder Palm shook Tae Yeon-ho’s internal organs, so he couldn’t bring out his power.
“Priest! Show mercy!”
“You must not kill him, Senior brother!”
Muryeongjin and Muhwajin shouted at the same time.
At that moment, Mu Jeong Jin-in’s hands pounded Tae Yeon-ho’s whole body.
Purberbuck!
“Geuh!”
Tae Yeon-ho screamed and collapsed.
Luckily, Mu Jeong-jin controlled his attack, so Tae Yeon-ho did not stop breathing. But Tae yeon-ho’s appearance still looked very miserable. He knelt on the floor filled with his blood.
Mu Jeong-jin looked down at Tae Yeon-ho while holding his back.
“Do you think our sect is easy? For you to accused us of such absurd manipulation.”
“I didn’t lie.”
Tae Yeon-ho answered with difficulty. Then, Mu Jeong-jin’s eyes turned even colder.
“Quiet. If you talk nonsense again, I will kill not only you, but also everyone who climbed the mountain.”
Tae Yeon-ho kept his mouth shut at the terrifying threat of Mu Jeong-jin. There was a gloomy expression on his face. When he experienced the formidable power of a Mu Jeong-jin first hand, he couldn’t dare to respond.
Clearly, it was the Qingcheng sect who did something wrong, but they were the one being persecuted here. Tears wanted to come out from his heart.
Tae Yeon-ho looked at Muryeongjin.
“Is this how the Qingcheng sect does things? To suppress others with force so that no objection can be raised?”
