Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 446

**Chapter 446. The Lazy One Enters the Fray (1)**

“Did you say ‘Blood Explosive Dan’?”

The Historian Saha’s face stiffened.

“Yes, Blood Explosive Dan.”

“But that’s from the Demon Cult…”

Gwanggu Singae nodded as if there was nothing more to explain.

“Exactly. The sacred pill of the Demon Cult. It temporarily elevates human potential to incredible levels. Though the price is quite obvious.”

“Were they common back then? Lately, aside from seeing them in historical records, they’re impossible to find…”

“Friend, how could a sacred pill from the Demon Cult be common? Of course, it was something impossible to obtain. Even for them, Blood Explosive Dans were treated as something precious. No, to be exact, not that they treated them as valuable, but as something dangerous.”

“That makes sense.”

Saha nodded slowly.

Considering the effects he knew of Blood Explosive Dans, not even the Demon Cult could handle them lightly. Who could easily use something that turns people into invalids in exchange for a momentary surge of power?

Strategically, their value is incalculable, but it’s an object that degrades potential warriors for life into disposable tools. Anyone with a minimum of common sense wouldn’t distribute them so easily.

“But Blood Explosive Dans only take effect when ingested, right?”

“That’s how it was, that’s what I thought.”

Gwanggu Singae frowned and scratched his nose.

“But everything changes in this world. Progress is precisely that process in which what we take for granted is transformed.”

“Of course, but…”

“The sad thing is that progress has no direction.”

Gwanggu Singae sighed softly.

If everything in the world flowed only towards positive directions, it would be wonderful. But human malice is not something so simple. Most of the techniques used by humanity were developed to defeat or kill others.

Just look at the martial arts.

As a martial artist who learned techniques to defeat others, perhaps Gwanggu Singae has no right to lament this.

Seeing the shadow of regret on Gwanggu Singae’s face, Saha continued in a thoughtful voice:

“Why weren’t these events known in later eras? Just hearing about them sounds extraordinary…”

“Who knows.”

Gwanggu Singae looked at Saha with a peculiar expression.

“What do you think?”

“Huh?”

“That it was resolved easily and therefore considered trivial? Or that, as I said before, it wasn’t worth passing on? What do you think?”

“……”

Saha couldn’t answer.

This is something that those who haven’t seen history can’t guess. Furthermore, Gwanggu Singae’s expression seemed to seal his lips.

“Don’t make that face. These are things of the past. Yes, it’s all behind us.”

Gwanggu Singae shrugged.

“And at that time, I had no idea how big this could become. I was more worried about the leader of the Righteous Heavenly Alliance that Wei Yanho would soon face than about the lunatics Wei Yanho was beating in front of me.”

“Certainly…”

Saha nodded, acknowledging the point.

It’s human to worry more about the sword already at your neck than about the uncertain dangers of the future. One of the biggest mistakes when studying history is forgetting that we already know the outcome.

We must not forget that decisions that seem obvious to those who know the ending were never so for those living in those moments.

“So I didn’t know.”

“Huh?”

“I had no idea this would become such a storm.”

“…Huh?”

Gwanggu Singae let out a deep sigh.

“Hey, couldn’t you be… a little gentler…?”

The Dark King reached out his hand, then made a gesture of disgust and looked away.

Of course, Wei Yanho wasn’t doing anything wrong. There was no other way to deal with them. The best option was to attack with everything, regardless of whether they were allies or not.

In martial arts, what is most avoided is precisely containing power to avoid injuring the opponent, only to end up defeated.

Even a lion uses all its strength to hunt a rabbit. That’s why the basic principle of martial arts is not to show mercy in front of an enemy.

So, even though Wei Yanho was using lethal techniques, no one was in a position to complain. When members of the Tang Clan fight each other with poison resistance, the result is always tragic.

Only by using more potent poisons can they subdue each other. But by increasing the potency, the slightest mistake exceeds the lethal dose.

In the end, even if they intervene, there’s no guarantee of obtaining better results than Wei Yanho. That’s why none of the spectators dare to act.

Those who understand the situation can’t intervene precisely because they understand it, while those who don’t understand it don’t act because their superiors don’t.

Besides…

“Guaaaah!”

Seeing those youngsters get up and keep charging after being launched by Wei Yanho’s scabbard strikes was simply chilling.

The arts of the Tang Clan lack the power to incapacitate. They aren’t effective against those who charge regardless of minor injuries. Eventually, the poisoned would fall, but the damage received in the process would be considerable.

If Wei Yanho wasn’t here and they had to subdue those guys on their own, the losses would be severe.

Considering all this, the Dark King should be thanking Wei Yanho on his knees.

He knows it, but…

“Yahaaaaaa!”

“What a way to hit, seriously!”

The Dark King covered his face as he watched the clan’s youngsters fly from Wei Yanho’s scabbard strikes.

He understands the situation, but look at this spectacle. Although those who know will be able to understand it, not everyone present has that level of understanding.

To a superficial observer, they would only see Wei Yanho taking advantage of them being possessed to beat them savagely, while the clan elders do nothing to stop him.

The Dark King glanced surreptitiously at the youngsters and sighed at the indignation on their faces.

‘I don’t think they’ll listen even if I speak…’

Misunderstandings were piling up.

In the end, all that remains is to try to explain it with words.

‘Why does everything this guy does end up like this?’

Looking back, Wei Yanho hasn’t done anything wrong. He’s not someone with the initiative to plan evil things.

All he does is be lazy, and when something happens around him, he resolves it before it becomes more troublesome.

Now too.

Wei Yanho hasn’t made any mistakes, but the situation is getting worse. The proud youngsters of the clan surely hate that Wei Yanho is acting like this in Tang Clan territory.

And the result is…

‘This.’

Seeing the resentful looks towards him, the Dark King couldn’t hide his despair.

The guy he brought to strengthen his position as clan leader is doing this.

If Wei Yanho sows antipathy in them, the Dark King’s position for having brought him to the clan will falter. Of course, it’s not a big deal if the youngsters resent him, but it’s always better to get along.

“Couldn’t you finish this quickly?”

“That would increase the injuries.”

“……”

“Don’t state the obvious, clan leader. I know it’s hard to trust this lazy guy. But precisely because of that, he always seeks to finish everything in the shortest time possible.”

“…I’m sorry.”

The Dark King bowed his head sincerely.

Although he knew there was no other option, his impatience made him push. He knew he shouldn’t, but he did it anyway.

‘Damn Demon Cult bastards!’

Wei Jeonghan wasn’t speculating. He had to admit it. He doesn’t know how they did it, but the Demon Cult clearly infiltrated the Tang Family and turned its members into that.

‘This is no longer just a problem of the Tang Family.’

Feeling the situation getting out of control, the Dark King looked at Wei Jeonghan seriously.

Although it was hard for him to admit it, it was a relief that this man was here. If the Righteous Heavenly Alliance couldn’t resolve this on its own, his presence would facilitate cooperation with the Righteous Martial Alliance.

Although he didn’t imagine things would come to this, inside he consoled himself knowing he had made the best decision.

Only one thing…

Pafpafpafpaf!

“That, that…”

The Dark King spoke with a tense face.

“I know it’s inevitable, but I can’t help but frown. I guess I lack cultivation.”

“Well… it seems he’s also somewhat drunk now, isn’t he? He looks like he’s enjoying it.”

“What?”

Wei Jeonghan surreptitiously avoided the Dark King’s gaze.

The Dark King urgently looked at Wei Yanho.

“Ah, how annoying, seriously!”

Wei Yanho’s eyes were slightly wide.

These guys aren’t normal.

He knew they were crazy, but their madness exceeded Wei Yanho’s expectations.

Look at them, look at them.

The guy I just kicked, breaking all his ribs, jumps up and charges at me again. If it were someone healthy, I’d even applaud his determination, but seeing someone with foam in their mouth and blank eyes attack like that makes my skin crawl.

‘This is no joke.’

It’s not a big threat to Wei Yanho now. But if this happened where he isn’t, what would happen?

If there was someone capable of subduing them, it would be a relief. Otherwise, it would be a massacre.

Wei Yanho coldly watched those who were lunging at him with determination.

They kept advancing even though their bodies were shattered. When both legs were broken, they began to crawl towards him.

‘No joke.’

If several martial artists of similar level got together and a few had these attacks, it would be impossible to handle them. The only option would be to kill them.

If they face them halfway, the losses will be severe. If they act decisively, the attackers will definitely die. Even setting aside humanism, the loss of strength would be enormous.

This is no longer a matter of resolving it.

The cause must be found.

“Arrggh!”

Wei Yanho kicked a martial artist who tried to bite his leg and launched him far away. Just when he was going to draw his sword, something changed abruptly.

“Grrrr.”

The movements of the lunatics began to decrease abruptly.

‘What?’

Wei Yanho carefully observed the movements of the possessed.
