Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 223
Episode 223
Shake it up (3)
The group returned to the manor and gathered together.
“Huh, this is really happening.”
Full-sang stuck out his tongue.
“Honestly, I didn’t know that I could gain Yang Chen’s trust so easily.”
Tang Sang-ah shook his head with a heavy expression.
“It wasn’t easy. “It just felt easy.”
She was reminded of the difficulty of this mission during a conversation with Yeon Ho-jeong the other day. Although the series of processes was as smooth as water, if you think about it calmly, all of this would have been impossible if Yeon Ho-jeong had not negotiated with Yang Cheon.
“Well, that’s true. “The practitioner went through a lot of hardships.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“no. What you say about hindsight is correct. It was easier than I thought. Especially considering that the opponent is Yangcheon.”
And one more thing.
‘The current situation in Yangcheon is quite unstable.’
You could tell just by reading Yang Cheon’s prayer.
The more advanced you are at internal energy, the more strongly the energy you hold permeates your mind and body. The mind, energy, and body are in line with the unity of essence, energy, and spirit, so if energy is disturbed, the harmony of mind and body is bound to be broken.
Of course, it is not common for a person to lose the state they have achieved or become mentally ill simply because their true energy is broken.
However, Yeon Ho-jeong was confident that Yangcheon was one of those few cases.
‘Even if the true energy is unstable, even empty space objects are not made so sloppily.’
The art of empty space itself is a skill that only a super expert can show. Yang Cheon deserved respect just for using such tricks as naturally as breathing.
However, in the process of using the empty air force, the flow of the inner force used was too arbitrary. It was surprising that he could not realize that his internal air management was a mess.
‘Was it like that in the past? ‘I don’t remember.’
The reason Yeon Ho-jeong can understand Yang Cheon’s condition is because he has already broken through Yang Cheon’s level and higher.
However, when he killed Yang Chen in the past, he could not reach that level. That is why we do not know what the state of Yangcheon was at the time.
Well, I didn’t have time or leisure to analyze such things at the time.
“If so, what should I do now?”
Paeyul frowned.
“You can use your skills to infiltrate, but is the plan laid down by the Moyong family really trustworthy?”
Zhuge Zhenyan quenched his appetite.
“First of all, I don’t think it’s bad. “I think it was the best I could do, even though I didn’t have much time.”
“We will destroy the commercial group of Gwiju Merchants Company that stayed in Hyeongsan, Honam… Is it true that Mo Yong-gun of that commercial group was replaced by someone else?”
“Of course it is.”
Zhuge Zhenyan scratched his head.
“It looks like Moyong Sega has been doing business with Gwiju Trading Company. Since it’s an adjacent area, there’s nothing strange about it, and the Moyong family won’t be able to throw cold water on this mission either, so I have no choice but to trust them and go. yes?”
Jegal Ah-yeon looked at Yeon Ho-jeong and asked.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“You have to believe it. And even if I have doubts, what can I do?”
“but.”
Full-sang’s eyes became as narrow as thread.
“Do you really think that?”
“hmm?”
“Let’s talk openly. “Out of all of us, in the Murim Alliance, you are the one who knows the most about Moyonggun.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“I’m mistaken. “Soldier Zhuge probably understands it much better.”
“I don’t think so. If Master Zhuge is a hawk in the sky, you and Master Mo Yong are like a tiger and a lion. “The person who knows his competitor best is bound to be another competitor.”
“Let’s say so. But is there any problem with that?”
Full-sang’s eyes sparkled.
“It’s a bit awkward to say this now, but… can we really trust this information manipulation?”
“hmm.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin.
“I can trust the stage.”
“What do you mean?”
“No matter what was planned behind the scenes, I am confident that the play will be completed properly.”
The group’s eyes became fierce. That meant that Yeonhojeong also did not completely believe in the plan laid down by Prince Moyong.
Tang Sang-ah asked cautiously.
“If that’s the case, shouldn’t we take some kind of countermeasure?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“Even if we try to take countermeasures, there is no way to know what he has planned right now.”
Paeyul clicked his tongue.
“No matter what plan the Moyong family has planned, shouldn’t we just do our job? “If you see anything suspicious, just destroy it.”
Those were truly his words.
Yeon Ho-jeong accepted his words with a smile.
“What you said is correct, senior. Now that we don’t know what Moyong’s tricks are, we just have to do what we have to do. Moreover, there is no evidence that it was necessarily a trick.”
Paeyul lifted his chin as if to look at it.
“Let’s summarize.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face became serious.
“From now on, we are going to attack the Gwiju Chamber of Commerce. “The commercial team is a fake that was replaced by Prince Mo Yong, the commander of this mission, and the real commercial team decided to hide in secret and escape the area.”
Everyone nodded.
Yeon Ho-jeong continued.
“The commercial route of the commercial fleet is the Baekdo Murim Alliance, and the goods they transport are treasures worth thousands of gold. We will handle the upbound shipments and bring all of the shipment items.”
“I have one question.”
Paeyul asked.
“What on earth is that shipment? “It is so great that just seizing it would be a great feat.”
“What is important is the act of cutting off support to the Murim Alliance, not the value of the goods.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“But your question is also valid. It is said that the goods they transport are equivalent to the five-year budget of the old, single-bang, large-scale sect with a financial value north of the Yangtze River.”
“omg!”
Not only Paeyul, but Tang Sang and Zhuge Yan were also surprised.
A five-year budget for an old, single-minded, large-scale group would be a truly astronomical amount.
All of the Daemun factions that have great reputation in the martial arts world have branches throughout the central region. The annual budget of one branch alone exceeds the annual budget of most small and medium-sized sects.
The five-year budget of the Daemun Sect, which had countless such branches, was an amount that even the Murim League, a huge alliance, could not ignore.
“That much? “Even if it’s just for the sake of the mission, is this really okay?”
The loss rate was at a level where even battle fanatics couldn’t help but wince.
Full-sang said.
“it’s okay. “Moyong-gun decided to connect Gwiju Sanghoe with the Murim Alliance in return for investing this money.”
“What do you mean by that? “Wasn’t the commercial flight going to the Murim League in the first place?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“The Guizhou Chamber of Commerce was scheduled to go to Sichuan Province, not the Murim Alliance. “The fact that it was heading toward the Murim League was itself fabricated information.”
Full Sang smiled triumphantly.
“It was we who manipulated that information.”
Zhuge Zhenyan said as if it were absurd.
“And the one who made the decision based on that information was Moyong Gaju?”
“They started first, but what does it matter?”
“omg!”
The three men and women clicked their tongues. The plan was being laid without them knowing.
Tang Sang-ah asked.
“Gwiju Sanghoe is also not ordinary. “No matter how big the Murim Maeng is, they paid that much money for the sole purpose of making a deal with the Maeng…?”
“That is to overly underestimate the influence of the Murim Alliance. The Murim League is the core of the Jungwon martial arts group. At least so far. As a member of the Gwiju Chamber of Commerce, I would not have wanted to miss this opportunity.”
“Is that so?”
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“The general situation is like this. “In fact, I wondered if it would be better not to reveal this part, but I decided that at least everyone should know how the situation was going, so I told them.”
Everyone nodded.
Although they looked calm on the outside, they were very surprised on the inside.
‘It was a mission of enormous scale.’
A fact overlooked because things were going pretty easily.
The opponent is Yang Cheon and at the same time the entire Black Island Wulin. To exaggerate a bit, it meant that this one mission could change the world of martial arts.
This could be seen just by looking at the amount paid by Gwiju Chamber of Commerce. The fact that five years’ worth of the Daemunpa’s budget was so easily disgorged makes me realize once again how important this mission is.
“Now, here’s the mission.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Full Sang.
“The rear bridge serves as a bridge for this operation. “You can stay here in the manor and analyze the surrounding information moment by moment and report it to us and the commander.”
“I understand.”
“I put in a threat to prevent anyone from coming here in the name of not having anything to do with the Ink Dragon Club, but you never know. “We must not lose sight of the tension at every moment.”
“I understand.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes turned to Zhuge Zhen.
Zhuge Zhenyan narrowed his eyes.
“Do you have anything special to order from me?”
“this.”
Yeon Ho-jeong took out a small letter from his pocket.
“It’s a hill not far from here. “I told him in advance, so all you have to do is bring him here secretly.”
“huh? who?”
“Heir of the Guicheolgeommun.”
“Eek?!”
The group looked at Yeon Ho-jeong with shocked eyes.
“what? “So what the monkey said was true?”
“ok.”
“Why why?!”
“I will explain the details later. What is clear is that we must not let him know that we are part of the Murim Alliance yet.”
“…I understand first of all, but why me?”
“You know the basic illusion formation, right?”
“of course. “Where do you think my family origins are?”
“This guy is the target that the dark island’s informants are looking for with their eyes turned on. “In the meantime, I am full-blooded and blinded by revenge, and I am inexperienced, so I cannot come here alone.”
Zhuge Zhenyan nodded heavily.
“I know what you mean. “Even if it’s a little late, you’re going to bring me here without getting caught by the Black Island informants, right?”
“Exactly.”
“Okay, I’ll have to explain it later.”
“Of course.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Pae-yul and Dang Sang-ah.
Paeyul spoke first.
“I’m sorry, but my only specialty is cutting.”
I hit the player because I was wondering if he would give me a soft mission like Bujeong-sang and Jegal A-yeon.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“I know. “I had no intention of excluding you from this operation to rob the commercial group.”
“Hmph, that’s a good thing.”
“The only thing I can say is that you must not reveal Jeomchang’s martial skills during combat. Please use extremely practical martial arts.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said to Dang Sang-ah.
“You too. Tang family’s cancer techniques should never be used. “If you see even the slightest trace, you will definitely be suspected.”
“Do not worry.”
Paeyul asked.
“No, but fighting? You said you swapped people? “Does this mean there’s really going to be a fight even though the game has already been decided?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“That may be so.”
Paeyul’s eyes flashed.
“I guess I was worried that Lord Moyong might do something tricky.”
“It’s not a trick… but anyway. Just in case, please remember this.”
“i get it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
“There have been a lot of hardships so far. “At the end of this mission, we will go into the depths of the Mukryongbu, extract all the information we want, and return.”
“….”
“It will be difficult to expect help from outside as each person has a role to play. “Let’s relax.”
A resolute light appeared in everyone’s eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong said as he slowly folded his sleeves.
“Let’s shake things up.”
