Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 188

In fact, the thread did not break (6)

The wind was quite harsh. The wind flowing down the mountainside was cool at night, regardless of the four seasons.

On the way back to residence.

Yeon Ho-jeong was deep in thought.

‘It’s changed.’

He thought of Prince Moyong.

A rare swordsman whose sword is imbued with an eerie thunderbolt just to look at.

And the prosecutor’s deeply sunken eyes.

‘Just like my father and I, Mr. Moyong has also changed.’

Prince Moyong is a man of outstanding ability.

He was a man who was not lacking in any field, including martial arts, martial arts, resourcefulness, and politics.

However, Yeon Ho-jeong also knew Mo Yong-gun’s shortcomings.

‘Somehow the relaxed atmosphere has disappeared.’

That was arrogance.

Yes. Prince Moyong was arrogant. And he deserved to be arrogant.

Born and raised in Moyongse, he is a person who first learned how to destroy his opponents while he was forming friendships with his brothers and sisters. The people of Moyong-gun and Moyong-sega fundamentally lack humanity.

Except for Mo Yong-woo.

‘The cruelty that comes from that lack. Thanks to this, he may have dreamed of becoming the owner of the Moyong family and furthermore standing at the top of the Baekdo martial arts kingdom.’

A life of success.

For the first time, someone who could become an obstacle in Moyong’s life appeared.

It was Yeonhojeong.

‘It must have been a new experience in many ways. Even though they said I was someone to be wary of, they still looked down on me.’

Prince Moyong recognized Yeonhojeong. However, he did not think that Yeon Ho-jeong was a better person than him.

If he thought Yeon Ho-jeong was better than him, he wouldn’t have suffered so much. He would have hidden himself more thoroughly and kept the mask on until he had the confidence to take a clear hit.

Of course, Yeon Ho-jeong wouldn’t have just watched that happen.

‘He went below the surface from the moment the Tangma Murderer Army was deployed.’

Has he finally acknowledged Yeon Ho-jeong as his true enemy? Or does he think he is superior to him?

That’s unknown. But one thing was certain.

It is said that Prince Moyong has become more insidious and sharper.

‘You won’t be able to do anything foolish for a while. But just because he seems quiet doesn’t mean he won’t make any preparations.’

Yeon Ho-jeong sighed involuntarily.

‘Just thinking about the Yangcheon issue gives me a headache.’

Tuwang Yangcheon.

He was the last obstacle to conquering the Black Island in the past and was one of the most dangerous enemies in Yeon Ho-jeong’s life.

Surprisingly, the enemy was in close contact with the outside world.

‘It was like that.’

Naturally, the direction of thought shifted from Moyong-gun to Yangcheon.

A look of evil appeared in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.

‘I was already holding hands with that side.’

This is amazing.

Not much is known about Yangcheon. In fact, Yeon Ho-jeong also tried to find out about him in the past, but even with Heukdo’s intelligence power, he was unable to find out more than a certain amount.

‘Then, apart from the fact that he joined hands with Sae-wae, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is from there.’

That was the reason why I wanted to jump directly into this matter.

Clearly, we must approach him cautiously. In reality, Yang Cheon was a person who had both a reckless and rough temperament and a cautious and cool-headed temperament.

Plus that powerlessness.

Even with the terrifyingly expanded Hongcheongi and extremely refined Sashinmu, I almost lost my life several times. Yang Cheon’s military power was so scary.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was radiating a quiet life while thinking of Yangcheon, tilted his head when a sudden thought occurred to him.

‘But did Yangcheon reveal his magic so quickly?’

Not like that.

In the past, Yangcheon revealed its presence along with Heukdo after Yeonhojeong had been in Heukdo for several years.

‘It’s much faster than before. No matter how much things have changed since then….’

History has changed.

The Murim League was established much earlier than in the past, and the emergence of Yangcheon was almost seven or eight years earlier than in the past.

then?

‘If we assume that Yang Chen is truly a member of the Three Religions.’

Without realizing it, my fist tightened.

‘This means that the three schools have been keeping a close eye on the movements of the central plains for decades.’

I expected that to happen. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to secretly assassinate the top leaders of the midfield and destroy half of the midfield’s strength from the very beginning with an exquisite air strike.

However, as it became clear that they were monitoring the flow of martial arts in the central region, I felt a chill go down my spine again.

‘You’re careful. Even with that much power.’

The political faction and the Saeum faction joined forces to destroy one of the Saeum schools.

Of course, if they had clashed with pure power from the beginning, there would have been no need for that. The problem is that the attack by the three religions was so sudden and fatal.

However, the remaining two groups did not even properly participate in the war.

‘This probably means that even if you prepare properly and counterattack, it will be difficult to guarantee victory.’

Yeon Ho-jeong sighed again.

‘Moyong-gun. It’s such a pity.’

If he had used his outstanding ability for peace rather than power, we might have become closer than anyone else.

‘hmm?’

At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“That’s strange…?”

One thing I thought was natural since it was just Moyong who had never felt anything strange until now.

That fact suddenly occurred to me.

“What on earth did you believe in when you killed me?”

Heukamje, Heukjeseongju, Heukdo Daejongsa.

The leader of the Sado clan who unified the four sects for the first time ever before and will never happen again.

The fact that a person who is neither an old veteran nor recognized as the best person in the world is called by so many different titles means that his abilities are that outstanding.

Prince Moyong killed himself. As soon as you kill the leader of the Saeum cult.

“With what confidence?”

In addition to Saeumgyo, weren’t there two other organizations that were alive and well?

In that case, there is no need to kill Yeon Ho-jeong, an ally. No, you shouldn’t kill him. This is because a common enemy still remains.

‘Just a worry? or not…?’

It was then.

“When did you sleep?”

Yeon Ho-jeong was startled and turned his gaze forward. Full-sang was looking at himself with blank eyes.

“When did you come?”

“I came here earlier. “Even when I called him, he mumbled something to himself.”

“Ah…”

“But what about dying? “While still alive and well.”

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.

It wasn’t a problem that could be answered by thinking about it right away anyway.

“no. But what’s going on?”

“What’s going on?”

Full-sang laughed loudly.

“My drinking buddy is back. Should I have a nice drink?”

Leaves blowing in the cool wind.

The moonlight was beautiful and the starlight was mysterious. The faint rays of light pouring from the cloudless sky created a wonderful atmosphere.

Yeon Ho-jeong looked around the pavilion.

“Have you ever been to a place like this in my castle?”

“There are a lot of them here. Because I haven’t even been able to look around the inside of the castle yet. “Anyway, it’s so wide.”

Full-sang continued to grin. He seemed excited about drinking alcohol for the first time in a long time.

“Now, would you like a drink?” “It was hard to beat those damn magic bandits.”

“Thank you.”

The two people clinked their glasses.

There weren’t any special snacks, but there was a nice view and friends of all ages. That alone was enough to empty the glass.

“What a toxic guy.”

“Soldier Zhuge gave it to me as a gift.”

“Soldier?”

“We’ve become quite close. “He was so cold and scary when he was cornered at the meeting, but he was a very friendly person in private.”

“Yes, it is Böther.”

“This is why people don’t know unless they experience it. From what I heard, although he has good abilities, he is weak and has a personality that makes it easy for him to get carried away.”

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“There are so many martial families in the central plains that it is difficult to count them. Among them, I am the chairman of six selected families. “There’s no way he’s an ordinary person.”

“That is correct.”

Full Sang burst into laughter.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at him with a smile, filled his glass and asked.

“So what did that Zhuge soldier want you to ask me?”

For a moment, Full Sang was shocked.

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled without realizing it. Isn’t this a truly honest response?

“How did you know? “Are you a ghost?”

“I looked over it.”

“No, there are so many things in the world to criticize, especially soldier Zhuge?”

“In many cases, the person himself is not really aware of his personality and habits. “It’s the same with Hugae.”

“What’s my personality like? “What are habits again?”

“Why did you find me and treat me to alcohol that the soldier said was given to you? “Who is too busy to take a vacation?”

Yeon Ho-jeong poured alcohol into his own glass. Full, full.

“A Hugae is a person who receives food, not a person who entertains, right? “You have to do something that suits you to avoid arousing suspicion.”

“her!”

Full-sang stuck out his tongue.

“I heard you’re really scary when I see you like this.”

“I will take it as a compliment.”

“Why is it a compliment to be scared?”

“So what did Master Zhuge want me to find out?”

Full Sang’s face became serious.

“Are you on your way from meeting Prince Moyong?”

“exactly.”

“You may have been tangled up in various matters with that bastard, but you are not so close that you would go and meet him right away on the day you returned, right?”

“Of course it is. “On the contrary, we’re anxious because we can’t eat each other.”

“That means…”

“That’s right.”

“huh?”

“I think it’s true later. “I asked you to appoint me as the general manager of this operation to stab Yang Cheon.”

Full-sang, who was quietly examining Yeon Ho-jeong’s face, sighed deeply.

“Soldier Zhuge said so. “Maybe you will take part in this matter.”

“For the military, sensitivity is as important as vast knowledge. “From that perspective, you are a great person.”

Full-sang, who quickly emptied his glass in frustration, sighed.

“You know, this operation is dangerous.”

“….”

“Everyone is in danger. Especially because we cannot afford to fail.”

“I know.”

“I don’t think you know? Besides, you are a famous person in Baekdo Murim. “He is a man who wields an ax as big as a human body, so the Black Island guys must have heard about you.”

“I think so.”

“What are you doing this for? Are you going to leave the ax behind?”

“That’s right.”

Unlike usual, Yeon Ho-jeong spoke calmly in a subdued voice and seemed somehow detached.

Full-sang, who was looking at him with trembling eyes, suddenly screamed.

“You idiot! No matter how genius you are, your opponent is Yangcheon! “Then you really die!”

It was a random comment, but his voice was full of concern for Yeon Ho-jeong.

“The Seongcheon Thirteen are monsters who are evaluated as equal or better than the best beasts of 300 years ago, when the martial arts were at their peak! The opponent even said he was fighting! “You’ve heard how toxic that bastard is, right?!”

“I have never chosen my opponent.”

“what?!”

“Moyong is stronger than me. Needless to say, the Nine Ju Myeongga. Still, I moved.”

“…!!”

“Don’t worry. “Because it’s too unfair to die like this.”

“…Oh, what a damn human being.”

Full-sang grumbled with a bitter face.

“You can only do persuasion by listening to people. “I really want it.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“Are you that worried?”

“Then don’t worry?”

“….”

“You’re younger than me, and you’re a bit reckless with the topic, but you’re still my friend.”

“…!”

“My friend is willing to go out on a limb, but you don’t seem to be able to stop me, you answerless human being.”

Yeon Ho-jeong was at a loss as he didn’t know what to say.

Full-sang grabbed the bottle roughly and poured it straight into his mouth.

“Kuhuhuh! Cough! “This shit is so damn harsh.”

“….”

“I knew it.”

“What do you mean?”

“I also thought you might be involved in this matter.”

“exactly?”

“So I took a vacation too.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was filled with surprise.

“Are you sure you want to join us?”

“Then you want me to be trapped in this stuffy Murim Alliance for the rest of my life? Are you crazy?”

“….”

Full-sang stood up.

He looked down at Yeon Ho-jeong and burst into laughter.

“We were quite in sync with the famous family, weren’t we?”

“….”

“Please take care of me.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at the full table blankly, soon smiled as if she couldn’t stop him.

“Please don’t grab my ankle.”

“Damn.”
