Chapter 254 Reaper of the Drifting Moon novel
Light Novel: Volume 11 Episode 4
Manhwa: N/A
At the news of Geum Suryeonâs injury, Geum Shin-chung immediately stood up, making his chair fall to the ground.
âWhat are you talking about? How could Suryeon be badly injured? What about her escorts?
âEveryone died except for one.â
âDead? What kind of people are they? How could they all be dead?â
âIâm sorryâ!â
It wasnât his fault, but the attendant who brought the news fell on the floor, with his forehead touching the ground.
Geum Shin-chungâs anger was indescribable.
Geum Suryeon is his only family. Although he had his nephew, Geum Woo-shin, he couldnât be compared to his direct family, Geum Suryeon.
âWho the hell did that to her? Itâs not the Jin family, right? Did they hold a grudge against us because of the IOU?â
âIf the Jin family had always been that vicious, they wouldnât have been pushed this far by the Snow Sword Manor.â
âThen, who the hell attacked Suryeon?!â
Geum Shin-chungâs angry voice made all the objects in his palace vibrate.
His attendant could only look at him in fear.
There were too many suspects that he couldnât pinpoint one.
Everyone knew of the fact that Geum Shin-chung only managed to accumulate the enormous wealth he has today through the establishment of the Yeomwangdae.
Among the people who borrowed money from him, there was not a single person who met a good end. All of them were either sold as slaves or ended their own lives in despair because of their huge debts.
Those people all have a deep grudge against the Golden Mountain Manor. Some of them might have attacked the Geum Suryeon to get revenge on the Golden Mountain Manor.
âImmediately send Woo-shin to Suryeon to protect her. And have the Yeomwangdae catch the perpetrator.â
âAll right.â
The attendant responded quickly.
Yeomwangdae is the direct subordinate organization run by Geum Shin-chung. Itâs an organization in charge of collecting money from the people who loaned from the Golden Mountain Manor.
It was made up of people with no blood or tears. They were so vicious that theyâd do what it takes to squeeze a dry rag just to produce water.
The individual membersâ martial arts were also so strong that they were considered more terrifying than the grim reaper in Runan.
Releasing the Yeomwangdae is enough proof that Geum Shin-chungâs anger reached its peak.
âHave him observe the situation and if possible, ask him to bring back Suryeon. After all, we have good doctors here too.â
âI donât think thatâs going to be possible.â
âWhy?â
âSheâs so seriously injured that her condition could get worse during transport.â
âShit!â
Geum Shin-chung could not hold back his anger anymore and hit the table.
âTell Woo-shin directly that if something happens to Suryeon, he would be responsible. He should protect her well.ââ
âYes!â
âGet out!â
When Geum Shin-chung waved his hand, the attendant bowed his head and then quietly left the room.
Geum Shin-chung who was now left alone muttered,
âI donât know who he is, but once I catch him, Iâll skin him alive.â

Seol Kang-yeon looked at the inner garden with his window wide open.
It was already late at night, but because of the lanterns hanging all over the garden, it created quite a serene atmosphere.
The garden of the Snow Sword Manor was stunning thanks to the gardener who took care of it. However, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, Seol Kang-yeon was not impressed.
He was just temporarily staying in this place. His ultimate goal is still Tianzhongshan, which was taken away by the Jin family.
He would do anything, even give up his soul, just to make his wish of setting the Snow Sword Manor back in Tianzhongshan come true.
When Seol Kang-yeon was about to grab the teacup next to him,
âSect leader!â
He heard a voice calling out for him.
âWhatâs going on?â
âA guest has come to visit. Heâs asking to see you.â
âWho is it?â
âJang Hoyeon of the Rain Mountain Manor.â
âRain Mountain Manor?â
In an instant, Seol Kang-yeonâs eyes glinted.
The Rain Mountain Manor is located in Chengshan, Anhui Province. It was more than 2,000 li away from the Snow Sword Manor. It was impossible for a sect which is miles away to come and offer their help to the Snow Sword Manor.
âHmmâŠâ
After thinking about it for a while, Seol Kang-yeon ordered his subordinate to bring Jang Hoyeon inside.
After some time, the door opened.
A young man entered the room. His soft facial features made him naturally likable.
He was Jang Hoyeon, the young leader of the Rain Mountain Manor.
Jang Hoyeon greeted Seol Kang-yeon,
âJang Hoyeon of the Rain Mountain Manor greets Seol Kang-yeon of the Snow Sword Manor.â
âNice to meet you! How is your father?â
âHeâs doing well.â
âIâve seen your father from a distance before. He is a great warrior with the spirit of a hero.â
âThank you. My father also mentioned that Lord Seol is a great person.â
âOh! Is that so?â
âHe said that if I work with you, I will definitely learn a lot so I should take the time to visit you at least once.â
âThank you.â
Seol Kang-yeon shook his head.
On the surface, he had a delighted expression on his face, but Seol Kang-yeon did not fully believe Jang Hoyeonâs words.
It was the same with Jang Hoyeon.
After all, the Snow Sword Manor and the Rain Mountain Manor had never interacted with each other until now. They had no reason to see each other.
It was a lie that Seol Kang-yeon saw Jang Hoyeonâs father, Jang Pyeong-san. Jang Hoyeon also lied about having his father say that he has a lot to learn from Seol Kang-yeon.
They were just exchanging polite remarks.
Seol Kang-yeon asked with a smile,
âSo, what brings you all the way here from the Rain Mountain Manor? I donât think you came here just to see my face.â
âI actually came here to ask you for a favor.â
âIs that so?â
âIf you help me, I will do my best to help the Snow Sword Manor.â
âCan I think of this as your fatherâs will?â
âThatâs right.â
Seol Kang-yeonâs smile deepened at Jang Hoyeonâs answer.
Because the distance between the two sects are too far, it was unreasonable for the Rain Mountain Manor to directly support the Snow Sword Manor. Nonetheless, it would be of great help to the Snow Sword Manor if the Rain Mountain Manor expressed their support.
The most important thing in Jianghu is to have enough justification or cause. Sometimes, the exhaustion of a huge sect, such as the Rain Mountain Manor, acts as a stronger force than any other justification.
Thatâs exactly what Seol Kang-yeon expected from Jang Hoyeon and the Rain Mountain Manor.
âNow tell me what you came here for.â
âIâm looking for the man who killed my brother and stole our family treasure.â
âTell me more about it in detail.â
âThere is a sword that has been passed for generations in our family.â
âWhatâs the name of the sword?â
âItâs called Gongbu.â
âI think Iâve heard of it before. Itâs a great sword made a long time ago.â
âThatâs right. He stole Gongbu, our familyâs heirloom and ran away. In the process, he killed my younger brother who was pursuing him.â â
âAre you saying heâs here?â
âI already confirmed that he has entered Runan.â
âWhatâs his name?â
âPyo-wol.â
âPyo-wol?â
Seol Kang-yeon frowned.
It was a name he had never heard of before.
Investigating the people entering Runan or the Snow Sword Manor is the responsibility of his attendant, Lee Yul. So Seol Kang-yeon didnât know such details.
âIâm sorry, but this is my first time hearing that name.â
âDonât worry about it. Heâs a sneaky guy, so Iâm sure he doesnât use his real name.â
âYou can go visit my attendant. He might know something about him.â
âThank you.â
Jang Hoyeon bowed his head as he said his thanks.
He had a lot of worries as he entered Runan.
Where should he go?
The Jin family or the Snow Sword Manor?
After much deliberation, he chose the Snow Sword Manor.
He thought it would be easier to get help from the Snow Sword Manor, which has a much more free atmosphere, than the Jin family which is naive and honest.
More than anything else, the Snow Sword Manor desperately needed the support of prestigious sects such as the Rain Mountain Manor.
âThere are a lot of people who wanted to help us so our manor might be quite crowded. Please excuse us for that.â
âOf course. Itâs actually nice to see that many people had voluntarily come to help the Snow Sword Manor. Isnât this only possible because Lord Seolâs popularity is so great?â
âHaha! You think so?â
Seol Kang-yeon burst out laughing.
He knew that Jang Hoyeon was intentionally flattering him, but it doesnât change the fact that he felt good about it.
âOnce you go outside, my subordinate will guide you to my attendant.â
âIt was an honor meeting you today. See you then.â
âI also hope that you will recover your heirloom safely.â
âThank you.â
After cupping his fist in goodbye to Seol Kang-yeon, Jang Hoyeon went out of the room.
As soon as he came out, a warrior of the Snow Sword Manor came forward.
âYour subordinates have already been taken to their quarters. I will now guide you to the attendant.â
âThank you!â
Jang Hoyeon nodded and followed the warrior.
There is currently an excited atmosphere at the Snow Sword Manor because of their recent victory against the Jin family.
On the way to the attendantâs residence, he ran into quite a few warriors. Their faces were all bright.
âThe Snow Sword Manor has the advantage.â
Jang Hoyeon was once again convinced that his choice was right.
At that time, one of the Snow Sword Manor warriors talked to the person who was guiding Jang Hoyeon.
âWhere are you going?â
âAh! Iâm on my way to the attendantâs office. Here with me is a guest from the Rain Mountain Manor.â
âIs that so? Come to the Secret Shadow Group once youâre done. They need support.â
âOkay.â
The warrior who talked to Jang Hoyeonâs guide cupped his fist and then left.
Jang Hoyeon asked his guide,
âWhat is the Secret Shadow Group?â
âAh! Itâs an organization under the direct control of the young master. Itâs making a significant contribution in the fight against the Jin family.â
âReally?â
âYes! Itâs made up of young and strong warriors who follow the young master.â
âSo your young master must be very capable, right?â
âOf course! There arenât that many warriors who can be compared to our young master!â
The manâs face was full of pride.
It was clear that he was really proud of their young master.
Jang Hoyeon became curious about the person he was so proud of.
âIâm sure thereâll be a chance to meet while Iâm staying at the Snow Sword Manor.â
For now, his priority is to meet the Snow Sword Manorâs attendant and ask for his cooperation.
He walked faster, but then,
Tuk!
Someone passed by and bumped into his shoulder slightly. He had his head down while walking so he failed to notice Jang Hoyeon in front of him.
Jang Hoyeon frowned and looked at the person who bumped into him.
The man who bumped into him immediately apologized,
âOh, I didnât see you because I was thinking of something else. Iâm sorry!â
The man groveled.
He strangely found the manâs appearance irritating.
Jang Hoyeon asked the man,
âWhatâs your name?â
âPardon?â
âAre you deaf? I just asked you what your name is.â
âAh, yes! My name is Lim Kwon-ok.â
âLim Kwon-ok? Are you a warrior at the Snow Sword Manor?â
âNo. Iâm from the Golden Mountain Manor.â
âGolden Mountain Manor?â
When Jang Hoyeon didnât seem to know, the warrior who was guiding him, thoughtfully explained,
âThe Golden Mountain Manor is a sect that could be said to be the richest in Runan. The only daughter of that sect had come here with a serious injury, and itâs that man who had brought her here.â
âThatâs right.â
âIs that so? You should be careful from now on.â
Jang Hoyeonâs tone changed.
If the one who bumped into him was another warrior, he would have been very angry. But since the man in question is the warrior who escorted the one and only daughter of the Golden Mountain Manor, then he could not afford to treat him carelessly.
They might not have a relationship right now, but no one knew what might happen in Runan.
âSince theyâre the richest sect in Runan, as long as we form a relationship, they will surely be useful later.â
Jang Hoyeon brightly smiled and moved on.
âLetâs go!â
âYes!â
The warrior continued to guide Jang Hoyeon again.
Left alone, Lim Kwon-ok looked at Jang Hoyeonâs back as he walked away.
âDid the Rain Mountain Manor follow me all the way here?â
