The Youngest Member Chapter 94

Tang Bicheon had not been able to sleep properly for a single day since he had returned to the Sichuan Tang family.

When he closed his eyes, it kept lingering in his mind. The defeat of that day, the disappointnt of the people, and Cheon Woojin's gaze.

"Cheon Woojin..."

Tang Bicheon repeated his na in a low voice. Even the pronunciation that ca out of his lips had reached a point where it was disgusting.

Tang Bicheon, who was sitting in his luxurious office and staring into the empty air, said in a nervous tone.

"Wondang Dharma Master."

"Yes, young master."

Tang Bicheon was still alone in the office.

Only the answer of the Wondang Dharma Master was heard from the darkness.

Tang Bicheon continued to speak while staring into the empty air.

"Wouldn't it be good to start the grand plan soon?"

"It's a bit early, but..."

The Wondang Dharma Master intentionally trailed off his words. Because he had already felt that Tang Bicheon's resolve was firm.

The grand plan that Tang Bicheon was talking about was the establishnt of the Righteous Heaven Alliance, which would beco a new sky. Of course, the main axis of it was himself and the Sichuan Tang family.

He had already laid the foundation. He had actively used the environnt while serving as the president of the Dragon and Phoenix Society.

Originally, the Sichuan Tang family was a powerful family that competed with the Nangong family for the first place among the Five Great Families. With the wings of the Dragon and Phoenix Society added to that power, how much power would he have wielded?

In fact, it was even more so because Tang Bicheon was acting as the head of the Tang family.

"Let's proceed. There is no other answer."

Tang Bicheon thought so.

In the first place, it was impossible for him to beco the real head of the Tang family.

Because his father, the Poison King, was alive. Although he had dentia, he could not escape his shadow.

The world feared and respected the insane Poison King more than the sane Tang Bicheon.

It was also the reason why Tang Bicheon had co to covet power outside the Sichuan Tang family, not inside.

Also, since he could no longer enjoy power in the Martial Alliance, there was only one way for Tang Bicheon to choose.

"Is anyone there?"

"Yes, young master."

The voice of a young maid was heard from outside.

Tang Bicheon had her call a man.

It was a necessary thing before the grand plan.

How much ti had passed like that?

"Young master. Did you call?"

It was an experienced voice. Unlike a martial artist of the Tang family, it was calm and clear, and it contained a strange dizziness.

It was also the voice that Tang Bicheon was most wary of in the Tang family.

"Co in."

Soon, the door opened, and an old man with graying hair carefully entered. He bowed his head and at the sa ti stared at a shadow in the darkness.

"The Dharma Master is also here."

"..."

There was no answer.

There were few within the Tang family who could dare to ignore his words, but the old man just let it be. Because he already knew that the Wondang Dharma Master, who had the young master on his back, was shaking the Tang family.

"First Elder. I'm thinking of putting the grand plan into action soon."

The First Elder of the Tang family, Tang Myeongun, looked at Tang Bicheon with startled eyes. He already knew what kind of world the young master was dreaming of. Tang Myeongun also had no intention of bowing his head to Beili Tian forever. Anyway, he was also a martial artist of the Tang family.

However, he had not expected that Tang Bicheon would proceed so quickly and impatiently.

"By any chance, have you persuaded the other Five Great Families or the Nine Sects One Gang without my knowledge?"

As far as Tang Myeongun knew, there were three forces that had promised to join forces with the Tang family. Considering that all three of those forces belonged to the Nine Sects One Gang and the Five Great Families, it was a truly great force.

However, the problem was that even if the four forces joined forces and created the Righteous Heaven Alliance, the remaining force in the Martial Alliance was much larger.

At Tang Myeongun's worried question, Tang Bicheon clicked his tongue.

"That much preparation is enough. In what era are you going to persuade half of the Nine Sects One Gang and the Five Great Families? The Martial Alliance may have already noticed to so extent. It's sothing that can't be delayed any longer."

"...But."

"Stop."

Tang Bicheon made Tang Myeongun shut his mouth.

Anyway, all the elders of the Tang family were the brothers of the family head.

In other words, it ant that they were Tang Bicheon's uncles.

Nevertheless, Tang Bicheon did not respect them. He just tried to reign over them as the young master.

Tang Bicheon clicked his tongue at Tang Myeongun and said.

"Among the Five Great Families and the Nine Sects One Gang, four forces, including us, have left the Martial Alliance in an instant. Although the Martial Alliance will be stronger. But can they face us with all their strength?"

"...It will be difficult."

While the Demonic Cult and the Black Plaque Star were watching with their eyes wide open, the Commander-in-Chief of the Martial Alliance, Sima Hui, would not make such a foolish judgnt.

"That's right. After the Righteous Heaven Alliance is established, there will be no all-out war for at least the next ten years. Also, among the forces remaining in the Martial Alliance, there will be cowards who hold a grudge against Beili Tian, who is trying to harm the vested interests, but who could not join us because they did not have the courage."

Those cowards who saw the Righteous Heaven Alliance actually being established would be tempted later. Because it would be more profitable to beco the master of a new world together than to bow their heads to Beili Tian, who was persecuting them.

Tang Bicheon had no intention of casting them out. He would absorb all of them with the appearance of a great man.

And so, if he absorbed the Five Great Families and the Nine Sects One Gang one by one, the day would co when he would stand shoulder to shoulder with the Martial Alliance.

Tang Bicheon was convinced that such a world would co before he was over forty. Also, that he would beco the master of that world.

To beco the alliance leader of the largest alliance in the world at the re age of forty.

"..."

Tang Myeongun swallowed hard. The young master's words were not entirely absurd. If the one who had made this claim was not Tang Bicheon but the Poison King, he would have followed him, risking his life.

No, even if it were Tang Bicheon, if it were a decision made with a sane mind, he would have believed and followed. Because that was the Tang family.

However, Tang Bicheon was not in his right mind now. At least in Tang Myeongun's eyes, that was the case.

While Tang Myeongun was maintaining his silence, a voice that resembled the sound of tal was heard from the darkness.

"Young master, those are truly the right words. When that day cos, even the Nangong family will bow their heads to the Tang family."

"..."

Tang Myeongun's gaze turned to the darkness.

The point at which the young master had started to go crazy was when that Wondang Dharma Master had appeared.

The problem was that it was not just the young master. The number of those who had already received the help of the Wondang Dharma Master was over eighty percent of the Tang family's leadership.

They had beco stronger. The young master was also already strong enough to match the heads of the other Nine Sects One Gang and the Five Great Families.

At the sa ti, they were going crazy. They were gradually losing their reason and were becoming beings who were obsessed only with purpose and power.

Tang Myeongun was truly grieved. However, there was no other way to take it.

'If the family head were sane...'

He would have imdiately smashed that Wondang Dharma Master's head and would have set the Tang family straight.

However, it was a aningless wish. The Poison King was already in a state where he could not even use chopsticks properly and was receiving the help of a maid.

Tang Myeongun closed his eyes tightly.

It was then.

The Wondang Dharma Master, who had been hiding his body in the darkness, revealed himself. He took out a pill from his bosom and placed it on the desk.

"First Elder, please have so."

"..."

Tang Myeongun looked at it without a word.

He was the one who had guessed that the reason why the Tang family's leadership had gone crazy was all because of that pill. Of course, he did not want to eat it.

However, the Wondang Dharma Master urged him with an insidious voice.

"Isn't it about ti you believed ? Haha, I know you are cautious, but it has been a long ti since the young master and the other elders have taken it. What happened to them? They gained power. The grand plan will soon unfold. First Elder, you must also prepare."

Tang Myeongun instinctively realized. That if he refused that pill, he would never be able to leave this office alive.

Tang Bicheon clicked his tongue.

"Why are you giving that precious thing to soone who doesn't even want to eat it? You always say there's not enough for ."

"Hoho, aren't we one family?"

Tang Myeongun cursed inwardly. Since when did that rootless Dharma Master beco a mber of the Tang family?

However, he could not say it out loud.

As Tang Myeongun hesitated, Tang Bicheon's cold voice continued.

"Aren't you going to eat it?"

"..."

The young master's dark green light was staring at him nacingly. In the end, Tang Myeongun picked up the pill.

Soon, Tang Myeongun, who had swallowed the pill, his attitude changed, and he insisted that they should hurry with the grand plan, and he argued for dozens of ways until he left the office.

* * *

The Heavenly Tiger Unit Commander and the Black Tortoise Unit arrived in Sichuan.

The mission was to secure evidence that the Sichuan Tang family was dreaming of rebellion.

"It's definitely not an easy task. But if we investigate persistently, sothing will co out, right?"

As Zhuge Lin said so while unpacking her simple luggage, the Heavenly Tiger Unit Commander nodded his head.

The most important thing in this mission was secrecy. Because if the Sichuan Tang family noticed their movents, they would hide their tails.

"So, everyone, individual action is absolutely forbidden. For now, let's just watch the situation for a day and then make a plan."

The Black Tortoise Unit mbers nodded their heads one by one.

If they secured proper evidence, the Martial Alliance would take action against the Tang family.

Zhuge Lin, as if she were still anxious, warned again.

"Our mission is not to have a fight with the Tang family, but to..."

Before Zhuge Lin's words could even finish.

A single figure brushed past her.

The wind left behind by the disappeared figure made her hair flutter for a mont.

"..."

A mont of silence.

Following that, as if they had promised, the Heavenly Tiger Unit Commander, Zhuge Lin, and the Black Tortoise Unit mbers flew in order.

* * *

The main hall of the Sichuan Tang family.

It was the place where the Poison King, who had dentia, spent most of his day. It was all about sitting on a splendid chair and looking into the empty air.

While he was spending that usual daily life.

"Father."

Tang Bicheon ca to visit.

Although his son had co, the Poison King just looked into the empty air.

Tang Bicheon continued to speak as if he were used to it.

"I'm thinking of establishing the Righteous Heaven Alliance. I have already persuaded the other Five Great Families and the Nine Sects One Gang... But I need your seal to beco the alliance leader. Anyway, the world fears you, not ."

Although it was a matter that had already been decided that Tang Bicheon would be the alliance leader, a person who showed a different attitude would surely appear after it was established. Because it was the way of people to be different when they entered and when they left the latrine.

The Poison King still looked into the empty air with empty eyes and said in a low voice.

"That's not it."

"No. The one who fears

more than you, father, is..."

"The Righteous Heaven Alliance is not necessary."

Tang Bicheon's eyebrows twitched.

'So it was that story.'

Tang Bicheon composed his breathing and just nodded his head. His father was originally a stubborn person, but he had beco even more so after he had gotten dentia. Even if he persuaded him with a thousand reasons for the necessity of the Righteous Heaven Alliance, it would never work.

"Yes, I understand. Then I will die at the hands of the Martial Alliance Leader, Beili Tian."

Only then did the Poison King look at Tang Bicheon.

"Who is Beili Tian? How can you die at his hands? I'm here."

"...Because you are against it, father."

The Poison King frowned slightly. He was already in a state where he could not make a normal judgnt. In his head, he was just weighing which was the more avoidable thing between his son's death and the establishnt of the Righteous Heaven Alliance.

"Still, the Righteous Heaven Alliance is..."

"Yes, it will only cause confusion in the righteous path. I understand. Father, thank you for everything. They say that a child dying before their parents is the worst unfilial act. I am just resentful."

Tang Bicheon persuaded his father with his own life as a hostage. No, he coaxed and deceived him. It had been like this until now. He had received all permissions this way, except for asking to inherit the position of the family head.

It was sothing that only Tang Bicheon could do. Because the only person in the world that the Poison King recognized was Tang Bicheon.

* * *

Tang Bicheon, who had received the seal, put his father to sleep deep in the main hall and then ca out with a satisfied face.

But, an uninvited guest was waiting.

"What is it?"

Dark green eyes were staring at him. Within the Tang family, there were only three people who could emit such a clear-colored light.

The family head, the Poison King, and his son, himself.

And his younger sister, Tang Soyeon.

"You're even dragging father into your dirty ambition?"

"Be quiet. Father is sleeping."

"What? You're establishing the Righteous Heaven Alliance? You're really crazy."

Tang Bicheon's pupils shook slightly. The grand plan was known only to the leadership who were favorable to him. Of course, Tang Soyeon should not have known.

"How did you know?"

"Do you think I'm a fool and don't know what's going on in the family? I'm also the daughter of the family head."

"Really? Father doesn't rember you."

"..."

Tang Soyeon firmly shut her mouth and glared at Tang Bicheon.

Whether that was the case or not, Tang Bicheon gave a gentle smile and continued to speak.

"Isn't it a good thing for you too? Anyway, compared to your peers, you're also insignificant, aren't you? Are you as good as those two, Cheon Woojin and Song Yiyeon? Or are you as noble as the young master of the Nangong family? It would be a different story if you at least had your own beliefs like the Plum Blossom Sword Saint of Huashan. You are nothing. Just cling to

in the new sky and get so scraps."

"...You crazy bastard."

Tang Soyeon's dark green light shone nacingly. Her older brother was truly crazy. Why on earth did her father always listen to such a guy's words?

For so reason, Tang Soyeon even resented the Poison King. No, she was disillusioned with this entire Sichuan Tang family.

Tang Soyeon turned her body with a jerk.

Tang Bicheon, who was looking at his younger sister's receding back as she walked away, huffing and puffing, suddenly asked.

"Where are you going?"

Naturally, there was no answer.

Tang Bicheon had a hunch. That his younger sister's steps were heading for the Martial Alliance.

"Tsk."

Tang Bicheon, who had lightly clicked his tongue, soon flew his body.

He rushed through the long corridor in an instant.

Tang Soyeon felt the killing intent and turned her head. Tang Bicheon had already reached right in front of her with his glittering eyes open.

Tang Soyeon was also a skilled martial artist. She put aside her surprised heart for a mont and imdiately took out the dagger from her belt.

However.

Tang Bicheon's hand moved a step faster.

Crash!

The two fell at the sa ti.

Tang Bicheon choked his younger sister's neck with both hands.

Tang Soyeon's face instantly turned red, and the blood vessels in her eyes burst. Although this guy was crazy, she had not thought that he would try to kill his own younger sister.

Tang Soyeon swung her dagger.

Thud-!

However, only the sound of tal was heard. Because Tang Bicheon was wearing an armor woven with heavenly silkworm thread under his martial robes. Soon, the strength in her hand was released, and the dagger she was holding also rolled on the floor.

The strength in the hand choking her neck was gradually increasing.

"Yes. I knew this day would co. From the ti you entered the realm of a poison master before , I had a premonition of this day."

"You crazy bastard..."

"But, what can I do? In the end, it was I who fully achieved that realm. You were just called a genius for a short ti when you were young."

As the veins on the back of Tang Bicheon's hand stood out, Tang Soyeon's eyes gradually closed. As the blood did not circulate to her head, her consciousness was fading.

Tang Soyeon really felt that death was near.

She gathered the strength she didn't have and raised her knee.

"Ugh!"

Tang Bicheon montarily clutched his lower body and rolled on the floor.

He would not have wrapped the heavenly silkworm thread there as well. Since it was an attack filled with internal energy, he might not be able to function as a man.

Tang Soyeon ran down the long corridor.

'He's crazy! He's really crazy!'

That look in his eyes when he was trying to kill her.

Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps.

At that mont, Tang Soyeon realized that the groaning from behind had stopped. She did not have the courage to look back. Why did this corridor feel so long today?

The mont she was about to put more internal energy into her two legs and kick off her body.

Her head was thrown back. For a mont, her body floated up and then was thrown to the floor.

Tang Soyeon endured the pain she felt in her back. Tang Bicheon was looking down at her.

His bloodshot eyes and the front of his pants soaked in blood. In his hand was the dagger she had dropped a mont ago.

For a mont, Tang Soyeon could not hold back her fear at that grotesque sight and let out a scream. Although it was a truly sharp scream filled with internal energy...

There was no one in this vicinity who could protect Tang Soyeon from Tang Bicheon. The Tang family was the king of Sichuan, and the one sitting on that throne was Tang Bicheon.

For that reason, the family mbers of the Tang family, the elders, and the martial artists all closed their ears.

However, there was one person who did not care about such things.

Soone grabbed Tang Bicheon's wrist as he was about to strike down with the dagger.

"Still a dysfunctional family. Do you swing a dagger at your sibling just like your father did?"

Tang Bicheon turned his head with a nervous face.

"Who dares...!"

However, Tang Bicheon's words could not continue.

A face that was unfamiliar but sohow familiar.

Soon, Tang Bicheon rembered his identity.

"P-Poisonous Hand! How are you...!"

The madman who was crazy about poison.

The friend and betrayer of the Black Master.

The man whose life had been saved by Cheon Woojin.

The Black Killing Society. In other words, the head of the group of those who wanted to kill the Black Master.

He smiled, revealing his yellow teeth.

"This disrespectful bastard, to your uncle."

Suddenly, the Poisonous Hand's gaze turned to Tang Bicheon's lower body. It was wet with blood. It was a part that could not be trained with martial arts. Soon, the Poisonous Hand had a very serious expression.

"Did it burst? Oh my, the Tang family is screwed too..."
