The Youngest Member Chapter 70

Hubei Province, Zhuge Family.

As befitting one of the five great families among the countless families in the world, the scale of the manor was truly large enough to be called a village.

High walls that seed to reach the sky and dozens of buildings.

Over a thousand blood relatives resided there, and among them, the number of martial artists of the second-rate or higher exceeded five hundred, so it was fair to say that its montum was that of a powerful clan that encompassed the entire Hubei Province.

And in the deepest part of such a Zhuge family, there was a large pavilion, the Family Head's Hall.

The head of the Zhuge family was a position that boasted power that could be counted on one's fingers in Hubei Province, along with the sect leader of the Wudang sect.

However.

"Let's proceed with this matter as I say."

"Ahem, let's do that."

The family head, Zhuge Min, just nodded his head obediently at the words of his younger brother and elder, Zhuge Seong.

The other people who attended the family head eting were the sa.

How could anyone dare to oppose his words?

Even the shop assistant at a nearby inn knew that the real power of the Zhuge family was Elder Zhuge Seong.

Not only was he full of ambition, but in his youth, he had served as an astronor in the imperial palace and had built up his power, and his marriage to a woman from the Hebei Peng family had solidified Zhuge Seong's position as if he had wings on a tiger.

The agenda of this eting was about the treatnt of the eldest daughter, Zhuge Lin.

Zhuge Lin, who was active as the deputy commander of the Black Tortoise Unit of the Martial Alliance, was being investigated by the Punishnt Hall on suspicion of colluding with the black path.

It was a matter that the family should naturally step forward and support.

However, Zhuge Seong ntioned the honor of the Martial Alliance Leader, Beili Tian, and the head of the Punishnt Hall, and declared that the Zhuge family would not step forward.

The powerless family head just nodded his head, and those who followed Zhuge Seong even agreed, saying that it was a just statent.

And so, just as the eting where Zhuge Seong had raised the agenda and Zhuge Seong was finishing it was about to end.

Rumble-!

A roar that shook the heavens and the earth erupted.

The thick pillars that supported the large building shook violently, and the noisy voices of martial artists were heard from outside.

A huge collision of ki was felt one after another.

The faces of Zhuge Seong and the other vassals hardened.

"W-what is this commotion!"

As Zhuge Seong shouted, a man sitting at the end of the conference room hurriedly got up and approached the door to check outside.

At the sa ti, the door opened.

A eting where all the leaders of the family were present. Opening the door without permission was a matter that should be punished with a severe cri.

However, because of the urgent expression of the martial artist who had kicked open the door, no one could scold him.

The martial artist, with blood streaming down his head, said.

"A-a demon... a demon has appeared!"

Zhuge Seong's expression crumpled.

In what world was he looking for a demon?

The vassals who could not bear to watch got up from their seats one by one and poured outside.

* * *

"Hah..."

Zhuge Seong let out a hollow laugh.

The scene unfolding before his eyes was so unrealistic.

A typhoon was blowing in the large front yard of the Zhuge family. And a blood wind accompanied by blood at that.

Although the martial artists of the family were firmly gripping their unique soft swords and judge's pens and fighting back, they were just scattered like fallen leaves in the enormous gust of wind.

At the place where the wind began, a man with a cold impression was standing. His age was at most a little over twenty.

To have invaded one of the Five Great Families single-handedly and caused a disturbance, and to be facing hundreds of martial artists, his expression was too dry and calm.

The mont Zhuge Seong saw this, he knew instinctively.

'Cheon Woojin. That guy is Cheon Woojin!'

While Zhuge Seong was observing Cheon Woojin.

Among the martial artists of the Zhuge family, a man with a particularly large build and refreshing features stepped forward.

Soon, he let out a roar at Cheon Woojin.

"You bastard! Where on earth did you roll in from to dare to look down on the great Zhuge family!"

His magnificent shout was filled with internal energy. Originally, it should have resounded throughout the yard and suppressed the opponent's spirit.

However, even the voice filled with internal energy was caught up in the gust of wind and scattered powerlessly.

At that sight, the eyebrows of Zhuge Hyeon, who had let out a roar, twitched.

He was the son of Zhuge Seong and a man who was aiming for the next family head position. Perhaps because he had inherited the blood of the Hebei Peng family, his build was large and his physique was dense, unlike a Zhuge family martial artist.

A genius who had both the body of the Peng family and the brain of the Zhuge family.

The Heavenly Martial Body that had made the eldest daughter, Zhuge Lin, despair.

Zhuge Hyeon, who had drawn the unique slender sword of the Zhuge family, rushed at Cheon Woojin like a tiger.

"N-no!"

Although Zhuge Seong shouted, it was already too late.

Zhuge Hyeon's movent was that impulsive, sudden, and also as fast as a leopard.

He crossed the battlefield in an instant with a movent skill that most martial artists could not even follow with their eyes. Also, the energy contained in the soft sword was as strong and heavy as the great sword of the Peng family.

Certainly, considering his age, he was a martial artist who deserved the modifier of a genius.

However.

"..."

Cheon Woojin just looked at Zhuge Hyeon with a calm gaze.

He was still standing in that place.

The distance between the two was only ten steps.

Zhuge Hyeon pulled back the hand holding the sword.

He also knew. That Zhuge Lin had completely lost her justification due to this incident, and that the day he would officially beco the young family head was not far away.

It was a truly good opportunity. He would educate the thunderous brat who dared to look down on the Zhuge family and set the justification straight.

Thinking so, Zhuge Hyeon's montum exploded.

Now the distance between the two was only three steps.

No matter how high a martial artist's martial might was, at this distance, they had to react sohow.

However, the guy who looked like a pretty boy in front was still just standing still.

Zhuge Hyeon had a sneer.

'He can't even react.'

Although he was causing a gust of wind in the Zhuge family with a strange evil art, his personal martial might did not seem to be high.

Well, all evil artists who used evil arts were like that.

Soon, Zhuge Hyeon's sword fell on Cheon Woojin's head. He was about to split him in two from his head to his crotch.

The other martial artists of the Zhuge family could not perform such an attack. Because they basically lacked physical strength.

Zhuge Hyeon thought that he could show off his specialness again and let out a continuous laugh.

However...

Crack-!

The sword that Zhuge Hyeon was firmly striking down with fluttered like a butterfly in spring. Because the strength in his legs had completely gone, he could not even swing the sword properly.

Zhuge Hyeon looked at his leg with an unbelievable look.

His left leg was bent. But, it was bent in a direction it shouldn't have been.

As he recognized this, a terrible pain followed.

"Aaaah!"

Zhuge Hyeon threw away his sword and grabbed his leg, rolling on the floor. It was a truly ugly sight. Even while rolling on the floor, he looked up at his opponent with an unbelievable look.

The guy had not even taken out the iron staff on his back. Then it ant that he had hit him with that fan.

He couldn't believe that he had broken his iron-like leg with that fan made of crane feathers.

Cheon Woojin looked down at him with a dry gaze and said.

"You're worse than the deputy commander."

He had wondered how strong he would be, since he had made the deputy commander despair.

But he was truly pathetic. If Zhuge Lin had not been suffering from a blocked ridian, a guy like this would not have been her opponent.

Cheon Woojin took his eyes off the guy who was rolling on the floor ugly and looked at a man beyond the battlefield.

A different atmosphere was blowing from him than the others.

The Zhuge family was, after all, one of the Five Great Families of the white path. Even the guys who did bad things usually had the unique atmosphere of the white path.

However, that man was different.

'A perfect villain.'

It was as if he were seeing the black path n who had co to take revenge on his Black Master.

His cloudy pupils, as if he favored dicine, the wrinkles that showed his personality, and above all, the blatant and primitive killing intent.

"That person is the culprit."

Although Cheon Woojin's voice was low, there was no one among the martial artists in the room who did not hear it.

Even in the noisy gust of wind, the voice filled with deep internal energy spread magnificently throughout the entire Zhuge family.

It was not a personal inference or question, but a firm declaration and a sentence.

Naturally, everyone looked at Zhuge Seong.

Zhuge Seong's expression crumpled.

'A cunning snake.'

Anyway, the Zhuge family was the white path. Although he held all the power as the real power, there were many among the individual martial artists who had the disposition of the white path.

They also knew that Zhuge Seong's heart was not entirely pure.

What would those people be thinking now?

'Ah, that black-hearted elder has finally done sothing.'

Zhuge Seong did not want that kind of incitent.

After thinking for a mont, Zhuge Seong let out a smirk and said.

"So you were the fugitive of the Martial Alliance. I heard that the Punishnt Hall has ford a pursuit and kill team to chase you, but can you handle this kind of thing?"

At that, the gazes of the martial artists turned to Cheon Woojin again.

The Punishnt Hall was, without a doubt, a group of good. If they had ford a pursuit and kill team to chase him, it ant that he was a clear criminal.

Cheon Woojin had a hollow laugh as he saw the atmosphere change with Zhuge Seong's one word.

"Is this the Five Great Families?"

Wasn't it too disappointing? The Five Great Families, the white path that he had heard about from his White Master, were not like this.

Cheon Woojin did not feel the need to drag on ti.

As Cheon Woojin gestured, the man who had been trembling outside the family was pulled as if by sothing and flew.

At that sight, the faces of the martial artists were filled with astonishnt.

The Void Object Manipulation was originally a ki art that could freely pull or push objects that were out of reach.

Just by opening and closing a door with it, it was enough to be called a master in the martial world.

However, that young monster was pulling not an object, but a person. What if he applied that technique in a real battle?

The low-level people who lacked the internal energy to resist would die one-sidedly without even being able to resist.

As they were martial artists of the Five Great Families, they imdiately recognized that the opponent's level was on a different dinsion from their own.

At that, the montum generally decreased, and seeing this, disappointnt was cast on Cheon Woojin's face again.

Cheon Woojin pointed at the man who had been dragged and said.

"Elder Zhuge Seong. I t this person in the secret cave of the Three Great Talents of the White Path. The Black Tortoise Unit Commander and Deputy Commander Zhuge Lin are being investigated on suspicion of colluding with the black path and selling the treasure map. What do you think of this?"

The martial artists of the Zhuge family were basically brilliant.

The mont they heard Cheon Woojin's words, they grasped the whole situation.

So looked with eyes of disbelief, so with contempt, and so with the feeling that the ship they were on was about to sink, and they looked at Zhuge Seong.

In that atmosphere, the man who had been dragged by Cheon Woojin knelt down and bowed his head to Zhuge Seong.

"...I-I'm sorry. Elder."

Zhuge Seong looked down at him with a dry expression.

A hint of displeasure was hung on his face.

"And who are you?"

"Yes?"

The man looked up at Zhuge Seong with widened eyes.

Elder Zhuge Seong's gaze was colder than ever. He had completely abandoned him. He knew what kind of man Zhuge Seong was. If this continued, he would either take all the bla and die, or he would be tortured to a point close to death.

The pale-faced man hurriedly ran to Zhuge Seong and bowed his head again.

"Elder. I-I have committed a mortal sin. So please..."

"Ah, it was you."

Zhuge Seong finally acknowledged him.

The mont a slight hope flashed in the man's eyes.

Stab-!

Zhuge Seong's sword pierced the back of the bowing man.

The man, while prostrating himself to Zhuge Seong, was pierced through his internal organs by the sword and died. Blood spread around the man.

Everyone looked at this with surprised eyes.

However, Zhuge Seong faced this with a calm gaze and then said in a low voice.

"It's Zhuge Bi of a branch family. I only saw him briefly when he was young, so I didn't recognize him."

"..."

Zhuge Seong's judgnt seed reckless, but it was rational.

He would be suspected because of his previous actions. In fact, most would have realized Zhuge Seong's malicious sche.

However, the evidence was now gone. After all, the dead tell no tales.

He could endure suspicion or criticism. It was nothing for people like Zhuge Seong to turn public opinion, which had turned its back on him, back to him.

He just had to get through this situation.

'Although it's not the best, I've also avoided the worst.'

Thinking so, Zhuge Seong looked at Cheon Woojin and curled up the corners of his mouth in a smirk.

"Now, the culprit is dead. It seems there was so misunderstanding. Alliance mber Cheon, now shall we have a talk?"

At the sa ti, the gust of wind that had been sweeping through the yard of the Zhuge family subsided.

At that sight, Zhuge Seong's smile beca even more sticky. The justification had completely passed to this side.

However, the answer that followed was so cheeky. To the point that he could not be seen as a guy who was cornered.

"A talk. Good."

Cheon Woojin let out a laugh after a long ti.

At that sight, Zhuge Seong's eyes narrowed.

'Does he not know the situation he's in?'

The evidence was gone, and the justification was on this side.

All that was left was the fact that that guy had dared to act outrageously against one of the Five Great Families.

That guy would soon be locked up in the Martial Alliance's prison and would not be able to co out until he died, or perhaps until his corpse had completely rotted away.

Perhaps because he was still a young guy, his martial might was outstanding, but he seed unable to judge the situation maturely.

The mont Zhuge Seong clicked his tongue.

Cheon Woojin walked towards Zhuge Seong.

A talk. To have a talk.
