Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 357

**Chapter 357: The Loafer Faces (2)**

—“Are you saying it’s an exaggeration?”

—“One can only consider something if it at least sounds logical!”

Yeilgi, the leader of the Southern Edge Sect, glared at the Master of Divine Abilities coldly.

Master of Divine Abilities smiled wryly.

Considering the relationship between the Southern Edge Sect and Mount Hua, who had always looked down on each other, he could understand why Yeilgi was objecting.

But…

‘Does he dare to object in this place?’

It seems that peace has lasted too long. How can a sect leader be so frivolous?

—“There are many witnesses who have seen it with their own eyes. Are you saying that all of them are lying, Master Yeilgi?”

“It’s not that, but it’s absurd.”

“What’s absurd?”

“I heard that kid is only twenty years old. It’s absurd that a twenty-year-old has that ability.”

Master of Divine Abilities sighed:

“In the martial world, that’s not uncommon. For example, Zhang Sanfeng, the master of Wudang, also enlightened at a young age.”

“Are you saying that kid is comparable to Zhang Sanfeng?”

That was a sensitive question.

The experts in Taoism looked at Master of Divine Abilities with disgust.

—“Of course, I’m not saying he has attained enlightenment. He could never compare to the profound understanding of Master Zhang Sanfeng.”

“Of course.”

“But even Zhang Sanfeng, I don’t think he was as strong as Wei Yanho at that age.”

“What?”

“I’m just telling the truth. Yanho has already matched the leader.”

“…”

Yeilgi opened his eyes:

“You mean the Supreme Sovereign Sima Tianse?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Although the Supreme Sovereign had let him win.

It was something unbelievable, so it wasn’t a lie. He just wanted a more dramatic reaction.

“Matching the Supreme Sovereign at that age…”

Yeilgi said in disbelief.

Of course, Supreme Sovereign was not the best warrior in the world. Yeilgi believed that there were at least three warriors stronger than the Supreme Sovereign. But it was undeniable that the Supreme Sovereign was one of the strongest warriors.

That means that Wei Yanho, who matched the Supreme Sovereign, is also one of the best warriors. No one had reached that level at that age.

‘Why does that guy appear in the Righteous Martial Alliance?’

The Nine Great Sects, who wished to break free from the influence of the Righteous Martial Alliance, were disappointed that that guy appeared in Guangdong, which was part of the Righteous Martial Alliance.

An expert like Wei Sanho could gain fame, but he could not destabilize the balance of power. But an expert like Wei Yanho would increase the influence of the Righteous Martial Alliance with his mere presence.

The fact that that guy appeared at this moment meant that heaven was helping the Righteous Martial Alliance.

If Yeilgi had known Wei Yanho, he would have thought that heaven hated the Righteous Martial Alliance, but since he didn’t know him, he could only think that way.

“I can guarantee his abilities.”

Everyone looked at Chung Yoeon. He was the only one who had met Wei Yanho.

“His abilities are real. Only his abilities!”

It was an ambiguous phrase, but most understood it to mean that his abilities were real. In reality, only his abilities were real, but everything else was a disaster.

“Amida Buddha.”

Hyejeong Daesa calmed the atmosphere:

“At this moment, the appearance of that talent is a blessing for the martial world.”

Everyone nodded.

With the Demon Cult about to plunge the world into darkness, it was good that an expert appeared. Even those who didn’t want the Righteous Martial Alliance to be strengthened admitted that.

“Where is Wei Yanho now?”

“He is in Beijing.”

“Beijing?”

—“Yes. For certain… matters.”

The Master of Divine Abilities said that Wei Yanho was playing an important role in Beijing. Everyone understood it.

‘I only sent him to Beijing because he said he wanted to go home.’

But he couldn’t say that.

That’s politics. You must know how to lie and make insignificant things seem important.

“A young hero… honestly, I’m interested.”

“Also, since he is the son of Wei Jeonghan and the brother of Wei Sanho, I can imagine what kind of person he is.”

‘Don’t imagine, idiots!’

The fact that they still said that even though their disciples were already involved with Wei Yanho showed how uninformed the nine clans were.

Master of Divine Abilities, Chung Yeon, and the Beggar King had strange expressions.

It wasn’t difficult to explain who Wei Yanho was to them…

‘It’s better for them to experience it.’

It wasn’t because they wanted only them to suffer. They couldn’t do that when the situation could become urgent at any moment.

But Master of Divine Abilities could explain Wei Yanho, but he couldn’t make them understand. Even he himself had needed time to accept Wei Yanho, and he didn’t think the leaders of the nine clans could understand him just by listening.

They had to experience it.

“I already sent an edict, so he will come soon.”

“Here?”

“Yes. I ordered him to return immediately after finishing his business in Beijing. You will see him soon.”

Master of Divine Abilities still didn’t understand Wei Yanho despite everything that had happened.

“It will be fun. But that’s not important now.”

Master of Divine Abilities nodded:

“It could be a catastrophe. But we have already experienced the consequences of not being prepared for the Demon Cult.”

Everyone agreed.

Everyone here had experienced the war against the Demon Cult. They knew how terrible it was.

“But we have learned from the past. We will not give up easily this time. As military leader of the Righteous Martial Alliance, I ask you to send your best warriors to the Righteous Martial Alliance.”

“Hmm…”

It was something expected, but it was difficult to hear.

In the previous invasion of the Demon Cult, the nine clans and sects had ceded control of their disciples to the Righteous Martial Alliance under the pretext of unifying command. As a result, they saw their disciples die under the orders of others.

That bitterness was the driving force behind their efforts to break free from the Righteous Martial Alliance. But the Demon Cult was attacking again, and they had to see that again.

“…It is something we must do.”

Hyejeong Daesa accepted the heavy burden:

“I will follow the orders of the military leader.”

But Master of Divine Abilities was not satisfied with that:

“Since you are already here, you must also decide who to send.”

“Master of Divine Abilities, we must discuss it.”

“That’s why I gathered the leaders of the clans and sects. Did you forget? The invasion of the Demon Cult was sudden. If we wait, it will be too late.”

A long debate began.

The Beggar King leaned back in his chair and drank wine:

‘Nothing has changed.’

They were shouting to get something, even in this situation. It was disgusting. It could be said that it was a beautiful scene of clan leaders trying to save their disciples.

‘They will all die.’

Peace had lasted too long.

Time steals everything. Memories, experiences, and fear.

Despite having suffered so much in the past, they wanted to preserve the strength of their clans. It seemed that they didn’t know that they would die if they divided their forces.

‘That’s how humans are.’

The Beggar King looked away from the clan leaders who were arguing with the Master of Divine Abilities. Ignoring the unpleasant was good for mental health.

‘Speaking of that, Wei Yanho will come.’

The eyes of the Master of Divine Abilities shone.

What problems will he cause?

Recently, following Wei Yanho’s movements made him feel young. Thanks to his foresight in having a beggar by his side, he could track Wei Yanho’s movements faster and more accurately.

The Beggar King was curious.

Could Wei Yanho maintain his purity while getting involved with the Demon Cult?

White cloth is dyed faster than dirty cloth. He was curious to see what color Wei Yanho would be dyed when he encountered the Demon Cult.

‘Will he become a hero who will save the era, a hero who will dominate the era, or…’

The Beggar King laughed:

He could become an Asura who will destroy the era.

“Stay!”

“There is no rest.”

“Idiot! If we pass this place, there will be nothing for a while! We must stay here to buy food!”

“If there is nothing, we will continue until there is. How weak are these warriors!”

“We are fine. But what about Jin Yeran!”

Wei Yanho frowned and looked at Jin Yeran.

She seemed to be fine, but she was very tired. It would be difficult for her, who does not practice martial arts, to keep up with the warriors.

“Then why did you bring her!”

Wei Sanho kicked Wei Yanho involuntarily upon hearing his complaint:

Wei Yanho, who had rolled on the ground, got up in fury:

“Why did you hit me?!”

“Apologize.”

“No, I didn’t do anything wrong…”

“Apologize!”

Wei Yanho, surprised by Wei Sanho’s low voice, awkwardly bowed to Jin Yeran:

“I… I’m sorry.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

The others opened their eyes:

‘He controlled him?’

‘Is he afraid of him?’

The older brother was really the older brother. If others had done that, they would have been killed, but Wei Sanho had subdued Wei Yanho with just a look.

Although he was annoyed.

“You must always be careful when speaking.”

“…Yes.”

“Let’s go in. We should rest.”

Wei Yanho pouted and followed Wei Sanho, who entered the inn.

“Aren’t you going to talk?”

“…”

It was the first time he had been scolded.
