Surviving as a Rival in a Martial Arts Novel

Chapter 93 – Five Dragons Narsha (01)

The uproar that took place at Daejeon Gak was treated as a confidential matter and was only discussed internally and was not leaked to the outside world. However, it was only superficial and the story was secretly spreading through the martial arts masters who participated at the time.

First of all, there was time to find out if there was a transcendental master that each other was hiding. In Shaolin and Shaman, which can be seen as the leaders of the nine factions, there are transcendental masters, but they disappeared decades ago and have no influence on the secular world. I flatly refused, saying I had no work to do.

The Hwasan faction, which is relatively powerful, honestly confessed that, unfortunately, there are many elders who have reached the pinnacle, but there are no masters who have reached the pinnacle, and the same goes for other factions.

In the end, the plan to bring in other transcendent experts except for the current four failed, and they gathered to discuss another method.

However, it was unacceptable that the Murim lord had to step down because he was not at the peak level in the future when a war had to be waged against the Black Moon Party or the Demonic Cult, so in the end, there was a consensus of opinion that the transcendental master should be made the Murim lord.

While Myeongsuk and the elders were having a meeting, Oryong Chilbong, who had heard the news, was also gathered there and having a meeting.

Of course, Geomryong was expelled a while ago and Cheolryong took his place, but among the five dragons and seven peaks, no one except Mubong recognized them, so if the five dragons and seven peaks still gathered, Geomryong was their leader.

“Namgoong. Is this really true?”

Donggeukcheon, a wise dragon of the shaman faction, asked Namgungjeon, a sword dragon.

“What do you mean?”

“Ban Gyu-seong… So…”

Paeryong, who could not continue speaking with a troubled expression, asked others for help, but Maeryong remained silent because he did not know himself, and Jeonryong had his head down so he could not ask.

“Did I get beaten and defeated by the iron dragon Ban Gyu-seong?”

“No, I didn’t mean that…”

“That’s right. There’s no need to ask. Just look at the results of the Battle of Heaven’s Mandate.”

Honestly, the five dragons did not want to admit that.

The sword dragon Namgungjeon, so strong that even the strongest and best expert among them felt like a wall, was defeated?

That means we have to admit that Ban Gyu-seong, the Iron Dragon, who could be seen as the dregs of the Five Dragons, is the strongest. However, they felt repulsion at the thought that he was from an unnamed sect and that the Yongbong branch broke in and beat them up at the time.

“And it is also true that he is a master of transcendental mastery. First of all, since Chungha, who is also a master of transcendental mastery, was so sure, it would be correct.”

Ji Ik.

As he took off the ointment-covered bandage that had been on his face, the Namgung family’s retainers made a fuss and tried to stop him, but Namgungjeon ignored them and took off the bandage, saying that he was healed anyway.

“Hmm…”

All of the five dragons had gathered, but there were quite a few vacancies in Chilbong. Of course, excluding Saengbong, who had heard the news from the Demonic Cult that he would be returning, Mubong, Cheonbong, Sikbong, and Yakbong were absent, so there were only two people left, Subong and Geumbong.

Moreover, since Geumbong did not know much about the martial world and was only chatting with his servants, it could be seen that among the Chilbongs, only one person who participated was Subong Song Cha-seung.

Geombong Han Soso also participated, but she was drinking alone with a sullen expression over there and they were ignoring her as if she wasn’t there, so it didn’t really matter.

“Ban Gyu-seong becomes a martial arts lord in addition to becoming a supreme expert. It is difficult to accept.”

Namgungjeon, the sword dragon, closed his eyes and remained calm at the words of the dragon, but the other five dragons were nodding their heads as if they agreed.

“If that’s the case, it would be better for the Samsik Sajo… Or rather, the Jade Dragon God Sword, who inherited the will of the Sword Saint, to become the Murim Lord…”

Eon Geol-jun, the evil dragon from the Jinju family, spoke up. The question was about Yeoncheong, which has a connection with them in its own way.

In fact, the reason why other Oryongs had similar thoughts was that, looking at the overwhelming inaction he showed in the Battle of Heavenly Mandate not long ago, it naturally occurred to him that he was close to the best person in the world, and also because he was too young, from the point of view of Oryong, who was a late exponent. Because I thought it wasn’t much of a problem.

“Cheongha doesn’t do things like that. If he had the chance, he would have challenged for the Cheonma constellation.”

“In the place of the Cheonma…?”

“Because it is a place where power reigns. If it were me, I couldn’t do it because I couldn’t win against Taesangmahu at the time, but if it was Cheongha, it was more than possible, but he gave up cleanly.”

Because what happened in Demonic Cult was not known, the five dragons and seven peaks were listening to Namgungjeon’s words with interested expressions.

“I don’t think even demons will accept the Jade Dragon God Sword right away…”

“The justification was that politically at the time, if he accepted Geumseonmahu as his wife, he could become the new Cheonma and Cheonmahu. It seemed that about half of the demons wanted that.”

“And you still didn’t do it?”

To be honest, the Heavenly Demon of the Demonic Cult would be more useful than the Murim Lord.

The Murim Alliance must be checked internally by the old faction, but such things will be less likely in the Demonic Cult.

“He’s that kind of guy, so he’ll never take on the position of Murim Lord.”

Paeryong was visibly disappointed at those words, and some of those present knew that the Jinju Eon family was trying to gain a half-profit by having the disciple of the ‘sword saint’ produced by the Jinju Eon family become the Murim lord, but they did not blame him. I didn’t do it.

“This guy, Ban Gyu-seong, is already a guy who likes to stand out and show off, so I’m going to give him a good laugh. In fact, he’s… No, he’s…”

“Hmm!”

Hyeon-ryong, who was criticizing Ban Gyu-seong due to Mae-ryong’s clearing of his throat, closed his mouth. Seeing that, Mae-Ryong opened his mouth as if trying to sort out the situation.

“If you currently hold the position of Murim Lord, won’t it be a position that will be replaced later if someone from the elders of the nine factions reaches the pinnacle? I don’t think you should take it too seriously.”

In fact, if the huge position of the Murim Lord is handed over to Ban Gyu-seong just because he is a transcendent master, then of course other members of the nine factions will either persuade the hidden transcendent master in some way or provide support to those who have reached the peak wall to create a transcendent master at all costs. Will be.

If you do that, you can legally produce a Murim lord from your own sect.

Even if the balance of power is concentrated in one place rather than the young Ban Gyu-seong, the elders of the Murim Alliance will be more active in helping a renowned elder of the Murim League regain the position of Murim leader.

“You receive it knowing that.”

Ban Gyu-seong took his place.

His arms were wrapped in bandages, and the moment he saw them, Sword Dragon Namgungjeon frowned.

The bandage was not because of the wound caused by his own sword, but because his arm was damaged while blocking the True Jade Dragon Sword thrown by Yeon Cheong-ha with that arm, so his attack was carried out when Ban Gyu-seong crossed the climax wall. It was gone, and it was proof that the attack would only work if it was at the level of light blue.

“What’s going on? The next Murim lord.”

Even so, even though he felt sick to his stomach because he had clearly acknowledged his defeat, the Sword Dragon Namgungjeon was welcoming Ban Gyu-seong’s visit.

“It hasn’t been confirmed yet. They said they were gathered here, so I just wanted to talk for a while.”

“No need. Just go back. Those guys are full of thoughts of cursing you.”

When Geombong Han So-so, who had been listening quietly from earlier, criticized them bitterly, Subong and Jeonryong’s faces turned bright red with embarrassment.

“There’s no need to talk to us anyway. The Murim Lord pushes him and the Jade Dragon God Sword pushes him. He probably thinks he’s like the protagonist of the world who thrives on his own. Five dragons like us just need to clean up after ourselves. Isn’t that right? ?”

Ban Gyu-seong tried to say something with an embarrassed expression at Hyun-ryong’s sarcasm.

“It’s true.”

“……What?”

Hyeonryong was rather embarrassed because he had not expected him to admit it so obediently.

“Although it is said to be the name of the Murim Lord, I used the fake specialization he created and learned it by incorporating the martial arts he stole to improve my skills. And as he told me, I took the position of Jeonryong Young master from the Five Dragons and Seven Peaks and took over. Moreover, even the process itself is something you will never forget. “It was the worst thing I could do, enough to hurt my pride.”

“……”

“But now I realize. I no longer need to lie to you, deceive people, and deceive myself.”

When Ban Gyu-seong took off the belt he was wearing, the piece of cloth surrounding his body came loose, revealing his slim waist.

“Brother Yeon… No, I realized this after seeing you. That in the end, what changes the world is the truth, not just telling lies or showing what you want to believe.”

Clearly, before that, he was a man with a handsome face and a large body. Just by changing his clothes slightly, everyone here could tell the true gender of Iron Dragon Ban Gyu-seong.

“That’s why I plan to tell the truth from now on. I won’t lie anymore, but sincerely.”

“……”

“……”

In fact, there was no one here who did not know that Cheolryong Ban Gyu-seong was a woman.

However, it was known to the outside world that Ban Gyu-seong was a man, and he was expected to not reveal that fact until his death, so he was greatly shocked to see him reveal his identity in front of everyone.

“Take a drink.”

The one who broke this silence was Geomryong Namgung-jeon, who first raised a glass of wine and offered it to Ban Gyu-seong. Ban Gyu-seong did not know what to do, so he snatched the glass that Han So-so was drinking and took Namgung-jeon’s drink.

“Originally, martial people become friends when they fight. Since you had a cool fight, you are now friends too.”

“Prince Nangong!”

Hyeonryong shouted and said no, but Maeryong was smiling with interest, and Jeonryong had no right to speak from earlier, and Paeryong had also been told somewhere in Jinju to go with the Jade Dragon God Sword if possible, so Yeoncheongha suggested. I had no intention of being openly hostile to Ban Gyu-seong.

“The speed is easy. For the guys who were talking behind their backs just a moment ago.”

When Geombong Han So-so grumbled and tried to join in, Mae-ryong smiled and opened the space for him to come to the side. As Cheolryong Ban Gyu-seong and Geombong Han So-so joined in, the atmosphere that had been heavy before was turning into a friendly one.

“Are you asking?”

“Brother Yeon is currently recovering. I was worried because his internal injuries were more serious than I thought, but he said he was fine…”

“He doesn’t lie, so he’ll be back soon.”

“That’s how it should be. Seol-hwa is glaring at him like he’s going to kill him for standing on the Murim Lord’s side and causing his brother to suffer internal injuries for no reason… Soso tends to abstain and look at him, but I glare at him without mercy.”

“If you’re Cheongha’s sister-in-law, it’s worth it.”

It was a time when the other Ohryongchilbong was feeling even more awkward as he looked at the two people who had become close friends after sharing swords and fists.

Dang Dang Dang Dang-

Suddenly, a loud emergency bell started ringing nearby.

“Emergency! It’s an emergency! Daejeon Pavilion has been attacked!!”

“Call the masters!”

“Call the doctors! There are too many injured!”

Daejeon Pavilion was at the center of the Murim Alliance. And the Murim lord’s Maengjugak was nearby, and Yongbonggak, where the Yongbongjihoe was held, was located right near Maengjugak.

Even if you go right now and summon the masters of each sect or summon the guards of the Murim Alliance, it will take time.

Moreover, the fact that Daejeon-gak was attacked without any sign means that someone is an expert who can break through the Murim Alliance’s guard network and attack Daejeon-gak, which is in the midst of a meeting to select a leader.

While the sword dragon Namgung-jeon was the first to grab his great sword and head to Daejeon Pavilion, Ban Gyu-seong was already running away.

“After all, people and swords are bound to be at odds. Under the Murim Lord, there were no bastards in the world.”

“What are you talking about?”

Geomryong Namgungjeon answered Han Soso’s question with a smile.

“I’m saying it’s not bad for a guy like that to become the leader.”

With a bombshell, Geomryong Namgungjeon follows in Ban Gyu-seong’s footsteps.

“I would like a gold bong sword.”

Maeryong threw himself at Subong, asking for the powerless Geumbong, and the remaining Ohryongchilbong looked at each other. Han Soso glared at them with pitiful eyes and headed towards Daejeon Pavilion. Everyone started throwing their bodies in response to evil. .

The last one, Jeonryong Cheongsang, lowered his head and lifted the bottle, downed one bottle in one go, and then belatedly started running after the remaining five dragons.
