Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 380

Nangseon’s Adventures – Part 2, Episode 89

Hwang Ohn stared blankly at Beom.

‘He actually won.’

Even when he first gathered the condemned criminals of Palyeoldo [Eight Leaves Island, a prison island] and beat them to ring the bell, he hadn’t believed it.

He didn’t think he would win the bet.

He thought that even if he did all this, he would eventually lose the bet against Mise Pa.

But the situation unfolded strangely.

He had won.

It was a very simple trick.

It was a trick that anyone could have noticed, but most people’s attention was stolen by the Twin Annihilation Blades that Beom was holding.

Naturally, everyone was completely fooled.

And this was the result.

“Kyahahaha! Try a little harder!!”

Hwang Ohn, who had been staring blankly, looked at the condemned criminals of Palyeoldo.

They all had handcuffs on their wrists, ankles, and necks.

That’s why they can’t go outside even when Palyeoldo’s restriction is lifted.

But the man named Tamlang, who appeared with Beom, was not. He was already enjoying fighting Mise Pa.

He was also a Hyangseon [Ascended Immortal].

Seeing him compete equally with Mise Pa, who was no ordinary Hyangseon, he was no ordinary guy.

Hwang Ohn naturally looked at Beom.

He was knocking down the officials leisurely, having planned everything so that a series of events flowed like water.

As if all of this was natural.

‘He’s gotten stronger.’

More than when he fought himself.

Even more. He had risen higher.

‘It’s only been a hundred years….’

Crack.

He was frustrated.

He had never neglected his training even when he went to Iyeoldo [One Leaf Island].

He tempered himself and always trained, dreaming of revenge a thousand years later.

He had been a little lazy since coming to Palyeoldo, feeling lost, but until then, he had achieved progress in his training.

He was full of confidence.

That if he met him again, he could avenge the humiliation of that day.

“There’s always someone better than you.”

There’s nothing wrong with old sayings.

Beom was currently playing with five exile officials like they were children, knocking them down one by one.

He didn’t take their lives.

He didn’t use any other special treasures, nor did he use divine powers.

With minimal movement, he avoided their attacks and only used them to return the favor.

The strength in Hwang Ohn’s tightly clenched fist was helplessly released.

He can’t win.

He can’t win.

He couldn’t even imagine himself winning against Chun Beom.

The exile officials are never weak. They are the ones who escort and manage the criminals who have committed serious crimes.

They are never weak people.

But he treats such people with great ease and knocks them down.

He parries and returns the opponent’s attacks.

There is so much余裕 [leeway/room to spare] in the process that you can’t help but admire it.

If he were a Hyangseon, he could understand.

But he is not a Hyangseon.

He is a Sangseon [Superior Immortal].

So he couldn’t understand.

‘How can he be so strong?’

Hwang Ohn unconsciously stroked the arm he had been cut off by Beom.

He still hates him.

He wanted to kill him.

He is his mortal enemy who ruined his family and his life.

But at the same time, he couldn’t help but admire him.

The only reason.

He was strong.

Strong and unwavering.

In the Water Realm, being strong is enough to be admired.

He had to admit what he had to admit.

“Uh oh!”

It was then.

When the condemned criminals of Palyeoldo were unknowingly cheering for Beom.

One of the officials who was thought to have fallen threw a net at Beom.

It was a net with weights at the end and dozens of saw blades on the net.

The weights of the net instantly turned into snakes and rushed at Beom, trying to capture him.

But then, five Extreme Mountains appeared from Beom’s body.

Kwaang!!

“It’s the Five Elements Extreme Mountains!”

“A Sangseon gathered the Five Elements Extreme Mountains?!”

They were startled.

Even one Extreme Mountain is not an easy thing for a Sangseon to obtain.

But five of them.

By gathering the Five Elements Extreme Mountains to create a barrier, no one among the same Sangseon could break it.

With that, the officials were instantly knocked away, and Beom glanced at Palyeoldo.

His expression was indifferent.

His face was as if it was natural.

The cheering criminals unknowingly shut their mouths.

They were captivated by his atmosphere.

“I’ll keep my promise. I’ll let you receive your original punishment.”

Beom left those words and flew to where Mise Pa was.

Soon, earth-shattering roars spread throughout the exile.

Mise Pa transformed into a giant monkey and displayed terrifying power, destroying everything within a hundred miles.

The battle that had been fought since morning continued until the next day, when it was finished by someone who came to the exile.

* * *

“It’s been a while, Military Affairs Commander. You’ve caused such a big incident as soon as you arrived.”

The one who appeared with the soldiers of the Water Palace was none other than Great General Mu.

He somehow found out and appeared just before Tamlang and he were about to kill Mise Pa in a joint attack, stopping them.

“There was just a difference of opinion. It wasn’t something that Great General Mu needed to get involved in.”

“Were you trying to cut off the head of Jong4pum Geumbunajang [Official Rank 4a, Golden Branch General] with a simple difference of opinion?”

If he said that, there was nothing he could say.

But he didn’t want to make excuses because he would have died if he hadn’t done that.

“Great General Mu. May Jong4pum Geumbunajang Mise Pa say a word?”

“Speak.”

“This man arbitrarily invaded Palyeoldo and incited the criminals. That alone is a crime punishable by 참형 [beheading], and after that, he opened Palyeoldo’s restriction and made the criminals escape to plot a rebellion! As a Geumbunajang, I was just trying to directly punish the Military Affairs Commander who committed the crime!!”

The excuse was good.

As expected, his eloquence was quite good, given the years he had lived.

But when it comes to eloquence, Beom is also a talent that doesn’t fall behind anyone.

“Is that true, Military Affairs Commander?”

“His words are all lies.”

“You bastard! How dare you argue with me!! You not only illegally invaded the exile, but you also mobilized the Chungseon [Central Immortal] of the Chung Realm [Central Realm] to try to kill me!!”

Tamlang in the back was bound by restrictions.

No matter how good he was, it was difficult to beat Great General Mu, who was praised as the best general in the Water Realm.

When Great General Mu appeared, Tamlang rushed at him, saying he was a better prey, but he was quickly subdued and bound.

‘The difference between the early and late stages of Hyangseon is more than I thought.’

Moreover, Great General Mu is the best in the Water Realm even among the late stages.

Tamlang was not someone he could do anything about.

“I see, Military Affairs Commander.”

To Great General Mu’s question, Beom confidently said.

“Why do you think I disappeared from the Water Realm for seventy years?”

“That’s….”

“I was unintentionally trapped in Palyeoldo for the past seventy years. It was all the machinations of those who were after my Twin Annihilation Blades.”

Great General Mu and the soldiers of the Water Palace were also surprised.

“What nonsense….”

“At the center of that is Geumbunajang Mise Pa, and I think there are several families involved behind him. I was stuck in Palyeoldo for the past few years and was just trying to get out.”

Great General Mu looked at Chun Beom with a surprised look.

He knew that he had come from the Chung Realm because of the secret technique hanging on the Yeonghwabi [Heroic Monument].

He was telling such nonsense to the person who knew that, so it was absurd.

But on the other hand, he thought it wasn’t bad.

‘Is he trying to cover it up like that.’

Anyway, he didn’t perform the duties of the Military Affairs Commander and had disappeared, so there might be people who would try to find fault with that.

He is a Sangseon holding the Twin Annihilation Blades, and it is natural for the great families of the Water Realm, as well as other families, to covet Yeonjabo [treasure].

A Gaseon [mortal immortal] from a weak family.

Moreover, a Sangseon.

A non-ascended cultivator with no connections.

There were enough reasons to target him.

If they kill one slightly superior Sangseon, can’t they get the Twin Annihilation Blades, which are known to be powerful even in the Water Realm?

It’s a win-win situation no matter what.

“Moreover, I have confirmed that even criminals whose crimes are limited to Iyeoldo or Ilyeoldo [One/Two Leaf Island] are all gathered in Palyeoldo. This means that Geumbunajang, who can be said to be the manager of the exile, received bribes from others and sent them to Palyeoldo for private purposes, violating the strict laws of the palace. I ask that you correct this and impose a severe punishment!”

Mise Pa was dumbfounded by Chun Beom’s eloquence.

“Slander… It’s slander!! Don’t be fooled by this man’s cunning tongue! He’s a very vicious guy!”

Great General Mu’s eyebrows furrowed.

Judging from his flustered appearance, the Military Affairs Commander’s words seemed credible.

“Hey there.”

“Yes, sir!”

“Find the exile register that clearly states the crimes of the criminals and compare it with the criminals in the exile.”

“Yes, sir!”

Then Mise Pa shouted urgently.

“I have protected this place for over 100,000 years. Even if no one looked after me! Even if no one recognized me, I, Geumbunajang Mise Pa, have steadfastly fulfilled my duties!! But you doubt me! Do you believe the words of the Military Affairs Commander, who has not been in office for even a hundred years, more than me, who has dedicated myself so much over the past years!!”

“We are just proceeding with the verification process. We need to compare whether Geumbunajang’s words are correct or the Military Affairs Commander’s words are correct.”

“But, but!!”

Great General Mu, who looked down at Mise Pa, who was about to shout, with a cold gaze, warned.

“If you make any more noise, I will take it as an admission of guilt. Is that okay, Geumbunajang Mise Pa?”

Mise Pa’s face turned pale.

He bit his lip tightly and lowered his head.

After that.

The soldier who found the exile register confirmed the illegal changes of the criminals’ exile and the bribes received by each family that Mise Pa had been carrying out.

“In the name of Great General Mu, I dismiss Geumbunajang Mise Pa from his position. But recognizing his hard work and realm over the past years, I send him to the exile of Palyeoldo.”

The exile of Palyeoldo.

Mise Pa jumped up as if in a fit when the soldiers brought the full body confinement handcuffs.

“This can’t be! This can’t be!! I have silently protected this place for the past 100,000 years, me! Mise Pa of the Mi Clan, not anyone else!! 100,000 years ago, I, Mise Pa, gave up my position as Hyeoncheonmujang [Heavenly Martial General] under your command and took on the role of Geumbunajang, Great General Mu!!”

At the sight of Mise Pa crying out as if wailing, Great General Mu silently nodded.

“I know, Mise Pa. But time makes even a steadfast giant tree like you rot like a corpse. It’s just a pity.”

Mise Pa fell to his knees at her pitiful gaze.

“Escort the criminal Mise Pa.”

Soon, Mise Pa was escorted and boarded the ship to Palyeoldo.

Only despair was on his face.

“Then, Military Affairs Commander.”

“Yes, Great General Mu.”

“I cannot accept your claim that you were trapped in Palyeoldo. Then what is that Chungseon?”

It was Tamlang, whose arms and legs were tied by Great General Mu’s restrictions and was just wriggling.

Beom hesitated for a moment and answered.

“He’s my Bokchung [subordinate/thrall].”

Tamlang’s fit became more severe.

“Bokchung… That man clearly has the realm of the early stages of Hyangseon, though?”

“He’s my Bokchung.”

“I saw him rush at me and start a fight earlier, is he really your Bokchung?”

“It hasn’t been long since I tamed him. He’s a difficult guy to handle. I’m sorry.”

“…”

Great General Mu glanced at Tamlang.

He definitely doesn’t look like a Bokchung.

“He’s my Bokchung.”

“…Even so, the story doesn’t add up, how do you explain that?”

“I sent that Tamlang to make people believe that those who were after my Twin Annihilation Blades were the work of the Chung Realm, but I tamed him in reverse. So that guy is now my Bokchung, and he was trapped in Palyeoldo with me because of those families. Because of that, I couldn’t fulfill my duties, and I was barely able to find out about Mise Pa’s corruption.”

There was no such thing as this kind of forced argument.

But he couldn’t reveal it clearly, so he didn’t know what to say.

He said that without changing his expression, so what could he say?

Great General Mu then raised the corners of her lips and asked.

“Who is the person who made the Military Affairs Commander trapped in Palyeoldo?”

Chun Beom answered immediately without changing his expression.

“It’s the Ji Clan.”
