Chapter 451: Chapter 451

Glance, glance.

Gazes turned toward the seated woman.

Is this what it meant to be enchanted just by looking?

One falls for her the moment they lay eyes on her.

Just like the men, even the women lost their minds at her figure.

The woman named Miho was merely sitting there doing nothing, but those inside the Dan family compound swallowed their breath and fidgeted.

“What do you think?”

“Well…”

It was quite a shocking event, especially for the young men. They seemed considerably shocked that Dan Woo-hyun, who treated women like rolling pebbles, knew such a beautiful woman.

Was she a hidden lover? Was that why he didn’t even budge at Namgung So-hye’s appearance?

Anyone could see that was the situation.

Ma Jang-gang and Gwon Mu-jin’s gazes looked at Miho once and then turned back to look at Namgung So-hye.

Her appearance as she swept the yard looked truly unsightly.

Of course, that was something one could only think after looking at the woman named Miho. Even though she looked somewhat haggard, Namgung So-hye was also a woman who boasted considerable beauty to the point of being considered one of the top beauties in the Central Plains.

Gwon Mu-jin scratched his head vigorously.

“It’s not just a matter of simple appearance. The alluring charm she exudes is different. That’s really no joke. Even if Diaochan came back to life, she wouldn’t be able to win.”

“She is indeed like the moon…”

Gwon Mu-jin nodded at Ma Jang-gang’s words.

The sun and moonlight have strictly different properties. If the sun’s role is to naturally illuminate its surroundings, the moon has the power to make everyone naturally look up to it.

That woman seemed as if she embraced the moon.

A woman one could not escape after seeing her once.

It was also the reason why the men living in the Hunan Dan Family couldn’t sleep properly for several days and had sunken eyes.

“The Family Head’s…”

“Lover… she is incredible…”

“I said she is not!”

The one who sharply shouted was none other than Namgung So-hye.

Although they were talking in whispers, it wasn’t to the extent that she couldn’t hear. Since her level was already considerable and she had polished her five senses to the extreme, no matter how much they whispered, she couldn’t help but hear unless they blocked the sound.

“No… well, we are just saying… isn’t that right?”

“Yeah…”

Namgung So-hye glared at the two men once again.

However, it wasn’t that she had no anxious feelings inside.

A woman who appeared out of nowhere.

She even possessed supreme beauty and her character was neat and graceful, so she thought that perhaps such a woman was Dan Woo-hyun’s ideal type.

This was the same for Zhuge Yeon as well.

She didn’t show it, but seeing that there was such a woman, and that she possessed a demonic charm that instantly captivated men and women of all ages, she felt a sense of shame as a fellow woman, and even felt like asking herself if she was born a woman for this.

“Anyway…”

Letting out a long sigh of ‘Haa-’, Namgung So-hye discovered something and stared intently at it.

This was the same for the others as well.

At the end of their gazes was Dan So-mi.

Dan So-mi was slightly different from the others. She approached the front of the woman sitting on the veranda and stared intently at her face, wondering what she was thinking.

“…….”

“…….”

The two faced each other.

To be exact, only Dan So-mi was looking, and Miho was avoiding So-mi’s gaze and making an awkward expression.

“Why… why are you doing this…”

Miho could not overcome the silence and awkwardness and asked.

Approaching without a word and staring intently at her face was a painful matter, to the point that torturing her would be better. Especially since she wasn’t doing anything at all.

“Um…”

“Y… yes…”

“Have you seen me before?”

Thump!

Miho felt her heart sink.

She had seen her when she was in the form of a fox. However, she was strictly in an animal’s form and had never shown her true human form, so she thought there was no way she would recognize her.

‘Is this… intuition? Or is there something else?’

Miho thought quietly.

There was no way to figure out an opponent with a young child’s intuition. Even if she had learned martial arts, the energy Miho possessed was fundamentally different.

Then, suddenly realizing something, she urgently grabbed Dan So-mi’s wrist.

“Ah!”

Startled, Dan So-mi let out a short moan, but Miho ignored it and infused energy. In an instant, Miho’s energy dug into Dan So-mi’s qi meridians, and at that moment, a violent flow converging from all directions swallowed Miho’s energy in a flash.

It was as if it was trying to swallow up the heterogeneous energy and make it its own.

“Mmm…”

The moment she absorbed Miho’s energy, Dan So-mi, as if feeling joy, let out a short moan and sighed, ‘Huu-’.

Miho trembled at the entire sight.

“Thousand Days… Creation Art…”

“Yes?”

She knew to some extent.

Dan Woo-hyun was trying to give what he had to Dan So-mi.

But not the Thousand Days Creation Art. It was a martial art beyond human boundaries and a profound art that no one except Dan Woo-hyun could learn.

‘She learned it? Really?’

No matter how much she thought about it, it was an impossible matter.

A human could not learn it.

How could such a young child learn something where the energy didn’t flow in just one direction and she didn’t even know how it flowed.

Miho grabbed her throbbing glabella.

“This is also… really…”

Before she knew it, Dan Woo-hyun was trying to create a new absolute of the world.

No, more than that…

‘What if the Heavenly Martial Emperor finds out about this?’

He might try to check Dan So-mi’s qi meridians.

Letting out a short sigh, Miho stood up from her seat.

Then, looking at the five old men staring only in this direction from a distance, she reached out and helped Dan So-mi up.

“Let’s go train. This child too.”

She couldn’t just leave her alone.

At least until she was in a state where she could protect her own body.

“So you’re saying you’ve really never seen anything like a monster?”

“T… that is so. There are rumors circulating, but we also don’t really…”

Hao Sect.

Jang Sam-tae, who entered the place, frowned. Occupying the seat of honor where the Hao Sect branch leader should be sitting, he was stretching his two legs as if it were his own house.

He tossed back the high-quality liquor placed in front of him and sighed.

“So does it exist or not?”

“T… that too, we don’t really…”

“What exactly do you do, huh? Will you come to your senses if I bring the Hao Sect Leader here and make him kneel?”

Jang Sam-tae understood the relationship between the superior and inferior better than anyone. Since it was the Hunan Dan Family that practically protected the Hao Sect, and even the Hao Sect Leader trembled before Dan Woo-hyun, the superior was the person from the Hunan Dan Family, and the inferior was the Hao Sect.

Look at him right now.

He was drinking expensive liquor without paying a single penny.

However, he could not sit there for a long time.

Jang Sam-tae stood up from his seat.

“Then what about the guys who said they saw the monster?”

“They are said to live on the outskirts of the village.”

“Mmm… the outskirts…”

Jang Sam-tae made a truly reluctant expression.

The outskirts were a place where security was not very good. Furthermore, it was becoming night, so strange things could happen.

Since he didn’t want such things, he had to move before the sun went down.

“Name?”

“You just need to find a person named Gu Wook.”

“Gu Wook… what a weird name.”

“Ha… haha…”

“Put the liquor on my tab. I enjoyed the drink!”

“Th… thank you!”

The branch leader bowed his head deeply.

Then, when the sound of the door closing with a click was heard, he finally let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.

World’s Greatest Clan.

Absolute of the World.

The place where such people existed was the Hunan Dan Family.

Since rumors had already spread as much as they could, the reality was that they had no choice but to bend their waists and bow their heads if someone was from that place.

“But… he really drank something expensive! Seriously…”

He sighed, ‘Phew-’, and looked at the liquor bottle.

It was probably the most expensive liquor in this Hao Sect branch. The price per bottle was considerable, so it was hard for anyone who wasn’t wealthy to readily drink it.

He drank all of it without leaving a single drop.

And then…

“He told me to put it on his tab… What does he mean he enjoyed the drink? Son of a bitch…”

The branch leader sighed and thought about how to cover this money.

* * *

Jang Sam-tae picked his nose as he came out.

Since it was something even the Hao Sect didn’t know, it had become a rather perplexing situation. If he didn’t obtain any notable information, he might get scolded heavily by Dan Woo-hyun.

At that moment, as he was walking down the street with such thoughts.

“B… block them!”

A loud voice was heard.

The moment that sound was heard from far away, Jang Sam-tae’s gaze naturally headed there.

He absentmindedly looked.

A group of people were gathered. Sharp sounds of sword strikes rang out as if they were slashing. One side looked like ronins and the other side imperial troops?

With that thought, he heightened his eyesight to look closely…

“This is crazy!”

A familiar face stimulated his eyes.

He unintentionally threw his body and advanced. Narrowing the distance in an instant, he intervened between those who were swinging their swords.

The lightness art was fitting to be called flashy, and it was only natural for everyone’s gazes to pour toward Jang Sam-tae the moment he intervened.

Thwack, thwack, thwack-!

Throwing his body in midair, Jang Sam-tae extended his legs and kicked three people in the head. Before landing, he twisted his body to dodge a sword, applied a spin, and kicked a neck just like that.

Crack!

Along with the violent sound of a neck bone breaking, the opponent flew and rolled on the ground.

Seeing him twitch and tremble, he didn’t look like a living person.

“Y… you…?”

“What the hell kind of guy are you to get attacked in a place like this and make a fuss, a fuss?!”

It was Hong Won-chang.

He clearly had a surprised expression due to Jang Sam-tae’s sudden appearance. But he soon calmly composed his mind and added strength to the sword in his hand.

“L… let’s deal with these guys first and then talk.”

“I don’t want to hear it!”

Jang Sam-tae howled and twisted his body.

The moment the striking blade brushed past his chest, Jang Sam-tae’s extended hand struck the opponent’s jaw and neck. It was truly an exquisite capturing art.

The moment Hong Won-chang was astonished by the flashy body movements, Jang Sam-tae extended his hand once again and pulled it as it was.

Chwarararak!

“Kkeuaaaak!”

“Aaaak!”

The golden threads he had unfurled before he knew it swept away all the men around him.
