Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 266

Chapter 266: The Lazy Begins (1)

Okay, I know.

It’s time to talk.

I know. I know that’s not what you want to know. But there are many things I must explain first.

The Mount Hua Gathering, or the Mount Hua Massacre.

No matter what you call it. The important thing is what happened in Mount Hua.

I know, I know.

Why are you in such a hurry? I’m going to explain it.

So… let’s see.

Where do I start?

After Wei Yanho defeated the Dark King, the atmosphere became strange.

How should I put it? No one cared about the winner anymore.

So people wondered if they should stay to see who won or leave before.

Many decided to leave.

If they had known that would happen, no one would have left…

What a pity.

What?

Those approaching Mount Hua tried not to cause problems.

A secret operation was required.

But even with stealth, accidents were inevitable.

If they had noticed that earlier, the situation would have been different.

What a pity, what a pity.

***

“Brother, I feel bad leaving already.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Shouldn’t we see who wins?”

“What’s the point of seeing the winner? Anyway, it will be Wei Yanho or Baek Geomyeong. We already knew one of them would win.”

“That’s true, but…”

Jongduguan, who had traveled from Sichuan to see the fight, licked his lips in disappointment.

“I thought the Righteous Heavenly Alliance would show something.”

“Those useless guys.”

The Tang family of Sichuan is the main clan of Sichuan, and it is the pillar of the Righteous Heavenly Alliance. He hoped that his clan would get good results, but their reputation was ruined with the appearance of Wei Yanho.

The Tang family of Sichuan will not be able to show their face in the martial world for a while.

‘If that’s all…’

While Wei Yanho lives, the Tang family will not be known for their poison and power. Their name will be used to describe Wei Yanho’s power.

When a clan loses its status, the people of that region also lose morale.

“How frustrating.”

Malyang sighed.

As if understanding his mood, Jongduguan pointed to a tavern.

“Rest a little, brother.”

“You want to rest already?”

“We left early, why are we in a hurry?”

“Hmm, you’re right.”

Malyang let himself be led by Jongduguan towards the tavern.

He felt frustrated and wanted to drink. He thought alcohol would make him feel better.

“Let’s rest.”

“Yes, let’s have something.”

“Hmm.”

Upon entering the tavern, they looked around. The tavern was quiet. There was only a group of peddlers.

The peddlers, who seemed innocent, were eating noodles.

“Welcome!”

The owner ran towards them.

“This way! Sit here.”

“Hmm!”

Jongduguan sat down and asked the owner:

“What’s good here?”

“Hehe, there’s nothing that isn’t good here.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, bring the best.”

“How about a cold platter? A cold platter goes well with alcohol.”

“Yes, that sounds good. Bring us a cold platter and alcohol.”

“Yes! Wait a moment.”

Jongduguan smiled at Malyang after the owner left.

“Don’t worry, brother. Even if Wei Yanho is strong, he won’t be able to do anything with the support of the Wei family. Although the Righteous Heavenly Alliance has lost this time, the Tang family is not the only one that belongs to the Righteous Heavenly Alliance.”

“That’s true, but…”

Malyang knew it wasn’t that simple.

‘We can’t ignore Wei Yanho with the support of the Wei family.’

A clan does not become a great clan just because of its power, but because it attracts people by producing absolute experts.

The Tang family of Sichuan was not always a great clan, nor was the Namgung family. Before they left, people were already gathering around Wei Yanho. If Wei Yanho could gather them, the Wei family would quickly become a great clan.

And there was a bigger problem.

“Shouldn’t we consider Wei Yanho a member of the Righteous Martial Alliance?”

“Well, not exactly…”

“Although the Wei family is not exactly part of the Righteous Martial Alliance, it is well known that the leader of the alliance is a close friend of Wei Jeonghan.”

“That’s true.”

“Wei Yanho, the son of Wei Jeonghan, the Sword of the Righteous Hero, would he stand against the Righteous Martial Alliance? We should consider him a member.”

“Hmm… so, both Wei Sanho and Wei Yanho belong to the Righteous Martial Alliance.”

“Yes. If the ancient clans and sects do not separate, the Righteous Martial Alliance will have the greatest power in history.”

Malyang clicked his tongue.

“The Righteous Heavenly Alliance will only be able to watch.”

“Isn’t it exaggerated to say they are the best in history just because they have those two?”

“You don’t know.”

Malyang began to explain.

“Do you think the Demon Cult was the most powerful because it had many members? It was because each expert was extremely powerful.”

“Yes, that’s true.”

“Especially the Demon King. If it weren’t for the Demon King, how could the cult have challenged the Central Plains? The power of an absolute expert is terrifying. What does it matter to win a battle if you can’t defeat a single person?”

“…Are Wei Yanho and Wei Sanho that powerful?”

“Not now. But in twenty years, who will be able to stop them? Perhaps Baek Geomyeong. But Baek Geomyeong belongs to Baekgeom Fortress. If he were only a member of the Righteous Heavenly Alliance…”

Jongduguan nodded.

“But who knows what will happen in the future?”

“That’s true.”

“Besides, I don’t like relying on a few experts. The Demon Cult collapsed after the Demon King died at the hands of Sima Tianse, didn’t it?”

“Hmm… that means that the Supreme Sovereign Sima Tianse, the leader of the Righteous Martial Alliance, was even more powerful.”

“That’s…”

Jongduguan saw something strange.

One of the peddlers got up and approached them.

‘What?’

It seemed he wanted to sell something.

“I heard you were talking about something interesting.”

The man smiled and spoke. When the owner brought the alcohol, the man put a cup in front of Jongduguan and Malyang, and poured them alcohol.

“What is this…”

“Did you say that the Supreme Sovereign was stronger than the Demon King?”

“Hmm?”

Malyang tilted his head.

Why was he saying something that everyone knew?

“Yes.”

“That’s strange. I hadn’t heard it.”

“What are you saying? It is well known that the Demon King was defeated and killed by the Supreme Sovereign, and the Demon Cult collapsed.”

“Ha ha ha, how interesting.”

The man laughed loudly.

But Malyang felt a chill. The man’s eyes were not smiling.

“The people of the Central Plains are still the same. They make up stories and pretend to be righteous.”

“…What?”

Just when Malyang was about to get angry, the man’s hand grabbed his neck.

“Kuh!”

The man squeezed Malyang’s neck and pulled him closer.

“Kaaah!”

Malyang couldn’t breathe because of the pain. The man’s smile had disappeared, and his face was cold.

“The people of the Central Plains are strange. They say things they don’t know and say things they can’t fulfill.”

“This… guy!”

Jongduguan stood up in horror.

But he couldn’t move. The man could break Malyang’s neck at any moment. Jongduguan had never heard of someone surviving a broken neck.

While he was thinking about how to react, he heard a low voice.

“I told you not to make noise.”

The man released Malyang’s neck and stepped back.

“I have made a big mistake.”

A man, who appeared to be the leader of the peddlers, shook his head.

“Josam, I told you several times that your impatience is a problem, but you still haven’t corrected it.”

“I’m sorry.”

The man named Josam bowed deeply.

“What can you do if you can’t calm down before an important event?”

Josam lowered his head without answering.

“And…”

The man raised his head and looked at Malyang.

“If you cause problems, end it quickly.”

*Paaaat!*

In that instant, the heads of Malyang and Jongduguan exploded, and blood gushed towards the ceiling.

The man looked at the two men falling to the ground with cold eyes.

“There is no need to make this trash understand. Especially in a place where no one will see them.”

“Yes.”

“Clean it up.”

The peddlers got up and began to clean the bodies.

“Mount Hua is interesting.”

The man smiled.

It will get even more interesting.

‘Wei Yanho?’

He had heard his name on the way to Mount Hua. It seems a new star has appeared.

‘Will I be able to enjoy myself?’

It won’t be easy.

The martial world has been at peace for too long. Now they will feel the consequences.

“Hypocrites, it’s time to pay for your lies. Now they will pay for their actions.”

The man’s eyes darkened.
