Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 56

Chapter 56

Supreme Righteous Heavenly Alliance, also known as the Martial Alliance.

The Supreme Righteous Heavenly Alliance, which leads the straight path of the martial world. In the hall of the alliance leader, which could be considered the center of the Supreme Righteous Heavenly Alliance, two men were sitting in front of each other.

A man in blue tunic with such a gentle appearance that at first glance he could be confused with a scholar. From any perspective, he did not seem to be more than forty years old. He was a man who seemed completely out of place in the hall of the leader of the Supreme Alliance of Heavenly Justs, a symbol of dexterity and martial power.

However, one’s thoughts would change as one sees the respectful posture of the Alliance’s military strategist, the Divine strategist Cho Hyeon, sitting in front of him.

There was only one person in the world who could obtain such a respectful stance from the Divine strategist Cho Hyeon, the indisputable second in command of the Just Covenant.

Supreme Fist Sima Cheon-se.

This man was none other than Sima Cheon-se, the leader of the alliance of the Supreme Righteous Heavenly Alliance and the master of the incomparable fist called invincible under the sky with only his two fists.

“What did you say?”

Sima Cheon’s eyes were criss-crossed.

It might seem strange that Sima Cheon-se, who appeared to be only forty years old, spoke condescendingly to the Divine strategist. However, Sima Cheon-se had already turned one hundred years old.

His deep inner energy had kept his body young.

“We have confirmed that the Peng family’s son made contact with the Green Forest and the Iron Blood sect.”

Before the response of the Divine strategist, Sima Cheon-he narrowed his eyes. He was organizing his thoughts.

“And that child is?”

A Peng family boy named Peng Dao-ji. The Green Forest Ten Virtuosos pursued him, but fortunately managed to repel them.

Even the Green Forest Ten Virtuosos? If they put so much emphasis on the matter, shouldn’t we assume that the Green Forest has already decided to join the Iron Blood Section?

If the conversations had broken down, they wouldn’t have tried so hard to hide it.

“Secta Iron Blood and Green Forest… This is worrying.”

Sima Cheon’s deep sigh seemed to represent his state of mind.

The martial world today was chaos itself.

Twenty years ago, after the riot of the remaining followers of the Ming Cult, fortunately there were no major incidents, which allowed each faction to accumulate unprecedented power.

But when something fills up, it overflows.

The martial world, full of powerful factions, was now like a powder keg about to explode.

With the Eastern Fair Alliance and the Western Heavenly Justice League dividing the world, and several sects boasting of their strength, small disputes led to a great bloodshed, and entire sects disappeared from minor conflicts daily.

The Red Theus Right Alliance was desperately trying to mediate, but they alone had their limits to handle this situation.

Moreover, if the Iron Blood sect, considered the most belligerent among them, joined forces with the Green Forest, something would definitely happen.

“Are you sure about this?”

Given the nature of the matter, we confirm it over and over again. However, it is certain that the situation is getting worse enough so that we cannot avoid preparing ourselves.

“What about the Alliance of Heavenly Justice?”

They don’t move at all.

“However?”

The Divine strategist opened his mouth with a dark expression.

The Iron Blood Section has maintained friendly relations with the Alliance from the past. If this coordination with the Green Forest is carried out under the protection of the Heavenly Justice Alliance, the situation could worsen from what we believe.

“The Alliance of Heavenly Justice, the Iron Blood Sect, and even the Green Forest…”

Sima Cheon-she felt an oppression in her chest. She was such a great force that only to imagine it hurt her head. If they really formed an alliance, the Just Alliance could not with her alone.

Sima Cheon-sighed.

If we conflict with the Heavenly Justice League, how much blood will we have to shed?

The Divine strategist closed his mouth when he saw Sima Cheon-se’s worried appearance.

By the way, did you say that that boy named Peng Dao-ji escaped from the hands of the Green Forest Ten Virtuosos? Not only did he escape, but he defeated them?

“That’s right.”

Amazing, truly extraordinary! How old is that child?

“It has barely reached the age of majority.”

“Hey!”

Sima Cheon-looked at the Divine strategist with astonished eyes, exclaiming with admiration.

A tiger is growing in the Peng family! Face them at such an early age! It seems that the next generation will belong to the Peng family.

The Divine strategist shook his head with ashamed expression.

“That’s not it. It looks like someone helped him.

He had spoken so seriously, but it was disappointing news. Sima Cheon-said sourly.

“Someone who helped?”

The one who helped is not old either. Moreover, he is even younger than Peng Dao-ji.

“Younger than Peng Dao-ji! Good man, speak plainly!”

The Divine strategist smiled slightly.

“This is not something I can easily tell you, because when you know who that child is, Alliance Leader, you will be very happy.”

“Are you trying to see me die of frustration?”

While Sima Cheon-slammed her chest with apparent frustration, the Divine strategist continued as if he could not help but speak.

“Peng Dao-ji said a child named Wei Yan-ho helped him.”

“Wei Yan-ho?”

“Yes. He appears to be the second son of Wei Jeong-han, head of Guangdong’s Wei family. He was missing for five years, but has recently been appearing.”

“Wei Jeong-han, you say?”

“Yes, it is.”

Who but the Sword of the Righteous Hero could raise a child like that?

Sima Cheon’s face lit up.

If it was Wei Jeong-han, the Hero of the Just Sword, he was one of his most precious young men. Twenty years ago, during the Ming Cult massacre, was it not he who most stood out as a member of the Fair Alliance?

At that time, Wei Jeong-han had been squad leader in the unit that Sima Cheon-se led, so Sima Cheon-se knew him better than anyone and appreciated him more than anyone else.

“That guy hasn’t seen his face in five years, but in the meantime, he’s been raising his son to turn him into a dragon!”

“His eldest son is also the famous Wi San-ho, known as the Sword Killing Demons. Ten years from now, the Wei family could be considered the largest family under the sky.”

“Heh, heh, heh! How wonderful! And it is natural. Had he remained in the Just Alliance at that time, at this point, a position of regional leader would have reciprocated him without problem.”

“That’s right.”

As chaotic as the world is, with these pillars appearing one after another to guide it, how can we say that there is no hope? When those children lead the world later, it will be our task to make things easier for them.

“You speak the truth.”

“Wei Yan-ho, Wei Yan-ho… Jeje! Since the Sword of the Righteous Hero raised him, his conduct will be straight by nature, and his knightly spirit will be extraordinary! Plus, his martial dexterity! A dragon has emerged from the Wei Family! It will achieve great things in the martial world!”

Divine strategist Cho Hyeon repressed a laugh.

He could not remember when he had last seen Sima Cheon-be so pleased.

“I wish the Sword of the Righteous Hero would also return to the Alliance with this opportunity…”

“That will happen. The eldest has already graduated from the military academy, and the second has also matured.

“That’s how it should be.”

A melancholy look formed in Sima Cheon’s eyes.

He seemed to be remembering the days when he criticized the martial world not as the leader of the Supreme Righteous Heavenly Alliance, but as a single martial artist.

“Yes, in these chaotic times, that father and his children will be of great help.”

“It is a blessing for the martial world.”

The two men were completely wrong about something.

***

Wei Yan-ho, whom the Alliance leader and military strategist of the Just Alliance had called a blessing to the martial world, was currently rolling down the floor of his room.

Wei Yan-ho, whose fatigue accumulated after following the escort and mental exhaustion from what lived in the Great Hanrim Academy had exploded, had reached a state in which the ground was he and he was the ground. Except when it was time to eat, the twelve shijin passed around, to the point that the ground was heated alone.

The slightest awareness that had bothered him when he first arrived at the Sacred Hand Hall had long gone to heaven along with the incident of the Galactic Battlefield.

Having solved his last problem of conscience with the money he received from Galaxy Battlefield, Wei Yan-ho had undone all the burdens of his heart and had truly become one with the ground.

And thanks to this, those who watched him realized how ugly and useless a human being could be.

“Wow.”

Jin So-ah, who entered the room with a tray of food, frowned at what he thought was a human being rolling on the ground.

“Please get up.”

“…”

“Your food is here.”

Wei Yan-ho’s eyelids, which were firmly closed like an eternal rock, slowly revealed their magnificent eyeballs as if the sky and earth were opening.

“Food?”

“…”

“Food!”

Seeing Wei Yan-ho twist and crawl into the food tray, Jin So-ah unconsciously let a deep sigh escape.

To what extent can a human being become ugly?

Jin Ye-ran, who had initially taken the food tray herself, observed the state of Wei Yan-ho for a few days, then left the work of bringing the food trays to Jin So-ah and washed his hands from everything related to Wei Yan-ho.

Jin So-ah also did not want to see her only older sister related to such wastefulness, so she accepted the work without rebutting. However, she recently regretted that decision.

Wei Yan-ho, who had ripped off and was eating a roasted duck leg, smiled cheerfully.

You should try it, too!

“…I have a question.”

“Speak.”

“Don’t you feel uncomfortable?”

“Huh?”

Wei Yan-ho bowed his head.

“Why?”

Jin So-ah could see the crust stuck in all his eyes and the white, dry saliva in the corners of his mouth.

Have you washed yourself since you got here?

“If you wash too often, you will get sick.”

Jin So-ah had not asked, thinking that Wei Yan-ho would have washed. Anyone could see that his appearance was not that of someone who had wet his face.

I had only asked to see if there was still some consciousness, but Wei Yan-ho, as expected, did not disappoint their expectations.

And shouldn’t a person with a little common sense say such nonsense about getting sick by washing too often in a medical room?

If they made any sense, of course!

“Wow.”

Wei Yan-ho looked at Jin So-ah’s expression and lowered his head to smell his own clothes.

“ Smell, smell. ”

Then he shrugged.

“Okay.”

“If that’s okay, then the beggars in the neighborhood must have taken the cleaning sickness.”

But Jin So-ah did not dare to express his thoughts. Even when faced with a person who had completely abandoned basic human decency, Jin So-ah was someone who did not lose that last trace of courtesy. That is why family education is important.

Wei Yan-ho examined his body a couple of times, then ripped the duck’s leg again.

People who had learned ascending martial arts that used internal energy always had circulating qi, so the dust did not stick well and their bodies were kept clean.

But even that had limits.

The energies flowing through his body were desperately purified, but cleansing Wei Yan-ho’s body was beyond its capacity. At a minimum, he needed to wash once a month or at least change his clothes so that purification would take effect.

As clean as the body was, there was no way to clean the clothes I was wearing.

Rather, in the process of expelling the thermal energy absorbed from food through its pores, foreign substances were absorbed by its clothing, making it more and more dirty every day.

“I’ll prepare water for the bath, so you should wash up…”

“Why bother with such problematic things?”

” If that is problematic, you should not be living ” .

Jin So-ah once again repressed the words coming from within.

If he said everything he wanted to say, he could become his mortal enemy. He could not fight with a guest who had come to see his father!

But Jin So-ah, who couldn’t keep his mouth shut, spoke harshly.
