Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 236

**Chapter 236: The Holgazan is Found (1)**

Anyway.

At first, I did. I felt it too.

The tournament had something strange. The audience’s response was less than normal. For a tournament of this level, there should be a bustling atmosphere, but people were unusually quiet.

Huh?

Because of Wei Yanho?

I thought so too.

As you know, Wei Yanho is an amazing guy, just looking at him, people run out of words.

So I thought that’s why.

But then, as I reflected, I realized that it wasn’t just that. People also felt that disturbing atmosphere.

Where did that feel come from?

Well, it’s hard to say for sure.

You know, like… animals get nervous or run away before an earthquake.

That was the feeling.

I, too, felt a strange restlessness at that time.

I didn’t know then, but now that I think about it, it’s obvious, the world changed from that moment on.

Yeah, that’s right.

That was the beginning.

The calamity that changed the world began on Mount Hua. And the Wei Yanho legend also began on Mount Hua.

The beginning was…

Huh?

No.

No, it’s not that, it wasn’t there.

This is not well known, but the first place to be destroyed by Wei Yanho was not there, but inside. Well, you couldn’t even say it was inside. At that time, the Righteous Heavenly Alliance and the Righteous Martial Alliance were in a truce.

Why do you mention the Righteous Heavenly Alliance?

Hahahaha.

A month later, some tried to do something unimaginable.

Um, how should I put it?

I don’t know whether to call it misfortune or karma.

***

“Wei Yanho was unexpected!”

Tang Myung screamed with a hardened face.

Tang Jong-ui lowered his head, as if his couldn’t bear Tang Myung’s anger.

“I’m sorry.”

“This is not solved with an apology!”

“…I’m sorry.”

“Damn!”

Tang Myung hit the table.

Bang!

With a deaf sound, the table split in half and collapsed.

“Did you see his martial ability?”

“Yes.”

“Can you handle it?”

Tang Jong-ui couldn’t talk.

Handle it to that monster?

Tang Jong-ui smiled bitterly.

‘He could handle it. If they used the poison of the Tang family and surrounded it with their formation of poison, even the best warriors in the world would have their movements restricted. Then, they could slowly weaken him with hidden weapons and kill him.

But this was a duel.

To do that, they would need more than twenty experts. That method could not be used in a duel one against one.

“It’s hard.”

Tang Myung’s expression hardened.

“This is a shame!”

Although they gave the name to Mount Hua, the tournament was organized by the Righteous Heavenly Alliance. It was the beginning of their plan to take the title of the best organization in the world from the Righteous Martial Alliance.

But the tournament was going to end up being a party for the Righteous Martial Alliance.

“It’s not just Wei Yanho. Wei Sanho! Wei Sanho also exceeded expectations!”

Tang Jong-ui bit his lip.

Yesterday, Wei Sanho had demonstrated an amazing ability to defeat a Righteous Heavenly Alliance warrior in just five seconds.

Wei Yanho’s performance was so surprising that if Wei Sanho had fought earlier, Mount Hua would have been full of cheers.

“The Wei family! Damned!”

Tang Myung squeezed his teeth.

“It’s not just the Righteous Martial Alliance. If this continues, the Wei family will become the best family in the world today. Seeing Wei Jeonghan so calm… makes me angry.”

“…”

“The title of the best family in the world belongs only to the Tang family. Should we watch another family take it?”

Tang Jong-ui squinted his eyes.

‘He is angry.’

His uncle was too angry because things didn’t go according to plan. Angry people can’t think clearly. It was a bad sign.

“But as we have already decided to use duels, there is nothing else we can do.”

“No way?”

“Yes. Unfortunately.”

“Tsk tsk, what a fool.”

“Huh?”

Tang Myung smiled. “It was a cold smile that made Tang Jong-ui tremble.

“Jong-ui.”

“Yeah, man.”

“This is the martial world.”

“Huh?”

Tang Myung’s voice became gloomy.

“To maintain your glorious appearance, one must constantly strive behind the scenes.”

“I know.”

“No, you don’t.”

Tang Myung said firmly:

“What you know is just a part. It takes more effort than you think.”

“…uncle?”

“Wei Yanho… Wei Yanho… if this continues, it will become someone who will rule the world. If Wei Sanho uses the name Wei Yanho, who will be able to stop him if he tries to rule the world? If this continues for twenty years, the Wei family will have the titles of the best family and the best warrior in the world.”

Tang Jong-ui wondered.

What are you trying to say?

“But, unfortunately, what if one of them died in an accident?”

“Uncle?”

“They say Wei Yanho has come down from the mountain. It looks like he’s going to buy something.”

Really?

Tang Jong-ui’s eyes trembled.

“E… that’s too dangerous.”

“Dangerous? Why?”

“If they find out that we did it, the whole martial world will criticize us. The Wei family and the Righteous Martial Alliance will not remain silent.”

“What a fool.”

Tang Myung looked at Tang Jong-ui with disapproval.

“We’re the Tang family. Do you know what that means?”

“…….”

“The poison is not used openly. It is used in secret. There are more people who have died secretly than openly. And today, another victim will be added.”

Tang Jong-ui clenched his fist.

He couldn’t face Wei Yanho directly, but he didn’t like to use this method.

“Your expression is not good.”

“Uncle, this…”

“Tsk tsk tsk tsk, what a fool.”

Tang Myung said harshly:

“Do you not know that the glory and existence of the family are more important than your satisfaction and your glory?”

“… I know.”

“Sometimes a just defeat is necessary. But not now. If Wei Yanho continues to grow and accumulate power, he will gain absolute power. That will be impossible. We must do it now.”

Tang Jong-ui understood.

Tang Myung wasn’t trying to take a shortcut.

‘Wei Yanho is so dangerous?’

He also admitted that Wei Yanho was an expert who overcame common sense, but he didn’t think his uncle needed to be so afraid.

“Don’t you understand?”

“Yes. Wei Yanho is strong. But the Wei family is a small family with only direct relatives. What impact can it have if it becomes strong without support?”

“Nonsense.”

Tang Myung shook his head firmly.

“It’s not that a strong family produces strong warriors. It’s that strong warriors make a family strong. Do you know which family was the strongest in history?”

“…The Namgung family or ours.”

“No.”

Tang Myung’s voice left no room for doubt.

“The strongest family in history was certainly Wan Jian, also known as the Mangeom Family or the Infinity Sword Family (). They were so strong that they could control the world. At their peak, not even Wudang or Shaolin dared to challenge them. Even the demonic Cult at its peak could be compared only to them.”

Tang Jong-ui tilted his head, as if he didn’t understand.

“You mean we should be like the demonic cult? Even a family…”

“The members of the Infinity Sword Family were never numerous. But at their peak, they had someone. The Sword Emperor.”

Tang Myung’s voice in mentioning the Sword Emperor was filled with reverence.

“You don’t know. The power of an absolute expert. The number is insignificant before a true expert.”

“Is Wei Yanho like that?”

“No. Wei Yanho cannot be compared to the Sword Emperor. But consider his age. Although the Sword Emperor was a genius from a young age, he was not as strong as Wei Yanho now. What will happen in twenty years?”

“…”

“Although some geniuses lose their shine with age, if Wei Yanho maintains half of his current growth, he will become the best warrior in the world before the forties. Then, we must remain hidden until he dies. I cannot allow that!”

Tang Jong-ui lowered his head.

Tang Myung snapped his tongue at Tang Jong-ui’s reaction, who seemed to understand it in his mind but not in his heart.

“Don’t interfere. I’ll take care of everything. Stay still.”

“…Yes.”

Tang Myung sighed when he saw Tang Jong-ui retire.

‘You don’t know.’

Most of the martial world doesn’t know, how terrible the Sword Emperor era was.

Due to the arrogance of the Sword Emperor, the clans and sects of the martial world had to live in fear, wondering when they would do something. The Tang family managed to avoid it, but Wudang and Mount Hua did not dare to breathe in front of him.

‘We cannot allow history to repeat itself.’

This is not just for his glory. It is for the glory of the Tang family, the glory of the Righteous Heavenly Alliance, and for the sake of the martial world.

Tang Myung closed his eyes, after making his decision.

‘And it’s your order.’

The reverence appeared in Tang Myung’s eyes when he thought of him. But soon, fear replaced reverence.

If he didn’t comply with the order to win the tournament, Tang Myung would rather die.

“He must be happy without knowing that he will die. He will not suffer. Consider that as my last consideration.”

Tang Myung’s murderous voice filled the room.
