Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 294

**C294**

‘I might die from shock.’

He wouldn’t even have been that surprised if they had discovered that the founder of the Mount Hua sword was a barbarian.

Wei Yanho shook his head at the sight of the Plum Blossom Sword Saint on the verge of fainting.

“No.”

“No?”

“No. It’s not like that. My master said his nickname was Radiant Sword.”

“……Radiant Sword! Baek Muhan, Radiant Sword!”

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint’s expression contorted.

“Radiant Sword is the Sword Emperor.”

“Huh?”

“Radiant Sword is the Sword Emperor! The Sword Emperor is Radiant Sword!”

Wei Yanho smiled.

“What are you saying? Radiant Sword is Radiant Sword, and the Sword Emperor is the Sword Emperor. You seem to be in a lot of pain, rest.”

“No, you brat! The Sword Emperor’s nickname was Radiant Sword!”

“…Huh?”

Wei Yanho tilted his head.

“Can a posthumous nickname be a nickname in life?”

“Yes! Of course! It’s very common! Baek Muhan, the Sword Emperor, was called Radiant Sword in life, and he was named Sword Emperor after his death. Therefore, Radiant Sword is the Sword Emperor.”

“Hahahaha…”

Wei Yanho’s expression became awkward.

“So… Sword Emperor?”

“Yes.”

“The Sword Emperor, the greatest swordsman of all time?”

“Yes.”

A strange expression appeared on Wei Yanho’s face.

‘Thinking about it, it makes sense. It must make sense.’

Wei Yanho had met many experts of his time, but he had never felt that anyone was as strong as Baek Muhan.

To be honest…

‘Could I even withstand a second?’

If his master just brushed with his sword, the Tai Chi Sword Sage, the Plum Blossom Sword Saint, Guangmuliang, and the Supreme Sovereign would die. Even if the four of them attacked together, he doubted they could even touch him…

“Wow! This is… amazing.”

“What are you saying?”

“I thought it was obvious, but my master isn’t human. I don’t think a hundred elders like you could even touch his hair.”

“…Really?”

“I think a hundred is too few.”

Don’t say that in front of him!

Sure.

Even the Plum Blossom Sword Saint, who competed to be the best swordsman, couldn’t compare to the Sword Emperor.

The Sword Emperor was the goal, the legend, and the myth of all swordsmen.

The reason why the Sword Emperor was a legend was not only because he was strong but because he was exceptionally strong.

He is famous for having defeated ten of the best swordsmen with just his sword.

But…

“A hundred is too much? I am the best swordsman of Mount Hua.”

“I’m not sure about the power of a hundred people, but I don’t think there’s much difference. You couldn’t beat him.”

Courtesy is consideration.

This guy isn’t courteous. It seems he doesn’t understand courtesy.

In front of the Sword Saint, he said, “My master can defeat a hundred guys like you” calmly.

Should I say he’s messing with him kindly?

“Ugh.”

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint shook his head and spoke:

“Are you sure?”

“I’m not sure. My master said that he was Baek Muhan, called Radiant Sword… in his time, he could write on the heads of bald Shaolin monks and pee in the temples of Taoists without being punished.”

“…That’s true.”

“Really?”

“…Yes. It’s true that the Sword Emperor had a bad temper. It’s a known secret. They say his character was as good as his sword.”

“That’s right. It’s one hundred percent true.”

“It seems so.”

“Ah, and!”

Wei Yanho remembered something.

“Infinity Sword? They said something about a great family…”

“…The Great Family of the Infinity Sword.”

“Ah, yes. Hehe.”

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint covered his face at the sight of Wei Yanho laughing.

‘What should I do?’

Only Wei Yanho doesn’t know.

Everyone knows what it means to be Baek Muhan’s successor, but Wei Yanho doesn’t know.

“Yes, I see. So…”

Now he understands everything.

Wei Yanho’s extraordinary power makes sense if he is Baek Muhan’s disciple. Based on Baek Muhan’s stories.

‘I thought they were exaggerations…’

How would they feel if they heard that Wei Yanho defeated a bishop of the Demon Cult and the Dark King at a young age?

That’s how the Plum Blossom Sword Saint felt when he first heard the stories of the Sword Emperor. He thought they were exaggerations, but he couldn’t ignore them.

Now that Wei Yanho is the Sword Emperor’s disciple, his power makes sense, and the exaggerations about the Sword Emperor make sense.

“But this… isn’t something normal.”

“Huh? Why?”

“…Baekgeom Fortress claims to be the successor of the Great Family of the Infinity Sword.”

“Hmm, I heard that.”

“You knew?”

“I’m not deaf.”

“Then do you know that Baekgeom Fortress is your clan?”

“No.”

Wei Yanho blew his nose.

“If they recognize me as their member, I must recognize their hierarchy, and I would become the leader of Baekgeom Fortress, who would accept that?”

“…That’s how it works?”

“Yes.”

“But even if you don’t recognize the hierarchy, couldn’t they ask you to return their martial arts?”

“No. Because they are not martial arts of the Great Family of the Infinity Sword.”

“Huh? No?”

“No. I don’t know for sure, but my master said that his martial arts were of the Radiant Sword style. But he didn’t teach me the Radiant Sword style. He told me that I must find my own sword.”

“Hmm…”

It was a complicated problem.

Wei Yanho could think like that, but would others accept it?

‘I understand.’

He had heard many stories about the Sword Emperor, but not about his sword shining.

It is not known how he was in his time, but no one in the future knew what martial arts he used. So no one thought that Wei Yanho’s shine was a technique of the Sword Emperor.

‘Even Baekgeom Fortress didn’t know.’

The Sword Emperor mysteriously disappeared without transmitting his martial arts.

Considering the fall of the Great Family of the Infinity Sword, it is likely that they also did not know what martial arts Wei Yanho used.

“Don’t say it out there.”

“Why?”

“Baekgeom Fortress is suspicious. They might say you are related to them because of your martial arts.”

“I have no relationship with them. In fact, I hate them.”

“I know. But will others believe it? In the martial world, your identity is defined by your martial arts and your clan. Even if you deny it, as you are the successor of the Sword Emperor’s martial arts, you cannot deny your connection with Baekgeom Fortress.”

“It’s complicated.”

“Yes, complicated.”

More than he imagined.

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint sighed several times.

‘This is not simple.’

Even if Baekgeom Fortress wasn’t acting like this, it was a complicated problem. They could cause great chaos in the martial world.

And now Baekgeom Fortress is also involved.

‘If this is revealed, it could cause a great disaster.’

Because of the Sword Emperor’s techniques, hundreds of people died. What would happen if the true successor of the Sword Emperor appeared?

Before Wei Yanho becomes too powerful, forces will appear that will try to defeat him and steal his martial arts.

Especially, Wei Yanho has no power, despite his strength and his powerful martial arts… if a great clan tries to defeat him, it wouldn’t be impossible.

“Let’s make a deal.”

“Huh?”

“Never! Never tell this to anyone. You should only say it when you can defeat everyone in the world. Understood?”

“Yes. It’s not difficult. I hate problems.”

“Hmm…”

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint nodded.

‘It’s strange.’

Why have the Sword Emperor’s martial arts, which had disappeared for three hundred years, reappeared?

What does this mean?

Destiny is precise but imprecise, and it does not grant unnecessary power.

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint felt heavy thinking that the fact that Wei Yanho had the Sword Emperor’s martial arts meant the appearance of a new power.

‘If I must face the Sword Emperor’s martial arts…’

The resurgence of the Demon Cult.

And…

‘I must speak with the Master of Divine Abilities.’

“Can I leave?”

“Ah… yes… wait.”

Suddenly, the Plum Blossom Sword Saint’s face turned red.

“Hey, didn’t you get the Sword Emperor’s techniques? The secret manual you found in the cave.”

“Yes.”

“Wait! Then there are two secret manuals, the one you have and the one you learned…”

“That?”

Wei Yanho looked around and approached the Plum Blossom Sword Saint to whisper:

“Only you should know. That secret manual…”

“Huh?”

“It’s fake.”

Wei Yanho smiled and raised his thumb.

“It looks like an imitation, but it doesn’t make sense. It seems that someone imitated my master’s martial arts. When I first got it, it seemed strange to me because it was similar to what I had learned.”

“Hahaha, so… no, wait. You sold it. You sold it knowing it was fake?”

“Hehehehe.”

Wei Yanho walked towards the door.

“Take care. I’m leaving.”

“Wait! I heard the leader gave you three hundred gold coins for copying that manual…”

“Goodbye!”

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint grabbed his plum blossom sword and went out through the roof as Wei Yanho ran out.

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint, whose face was red, saw Wei Yanho fleeing at great speed under the moonlight and shouted:

“Stop, con artist!”

The Plum Blossom Sword Saint had to rest that day due to his effort. And, of course, the money that Wei Yanho had received did not return.
