Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 793
Episode 793
Hegemony of the Black Island (4)
After washing up, filling our bellies, and even changing into fresh clothes, the group quickly headed to Mukryongbu.
As we headed toward the Mukryongbu, more and more eyes were watching the group. Invisible Eyes: Informers of the Dark Island Murim are hiding and watching them.
Amid all those gazes, Yeon Ho-jeong recalled the first time he came to Mukryongbu.
They claimed to be descendants of the Mujong family, and there were many eyes watching them from anywhere in Honam along the way.
But a lot has changed between then and now. The atmosphere emanating from the informants’ immediate gaze was different.
In the past, I was full of caution and coldness toward new beings, but now I felt composure toward familiar beings and a yearning to see Go Soo, who rose to the ranks of the strongest martial artists.
Yeon Ho-jeong felt a familiar sense of joy in that completely different gaze.
Purely burning gazes that yearn for the strong.
The eyes of beasts contain a blind thirst for power that is hard to find in the martial arts people of the Baekdo faction.
Excited!
My heartbeat became stronger.
It wasn’t because of tension or fear.
The familiar excitement that he had not felt since their eyes returned was naturally raising Yeonhojeong’s heart rate.
Yeon Ho-jeong entered Mukryongbu, feeling as if he had returned to his hometown after being away for a long time.
* * *
When Yeon Ho-jeong returned and met him after ascending to the military drama, Yangcheon was there on that hill.
Six bottles of alcohol and several dishes were placed on a flat rock. Although it was not flashy, the drinking table created by nature had a charm in itself.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was watching Yang Cheon from afar, said to Muk Bi.
“Do you want to go in first?”
Why?
Mukbi, who would normally have shrugged his shoulders and said he would, kept his eyes on Yeonhojeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“why? “What’s on my face?”
“ugly.”
“…hey.”
Mukbi spoke to Gangryang and Jinyang.
“Go in first.”
Kang Ryang blocked Jinyang from taking a step forward.
“Of course. “Let’s have a drink and then come back.”
Gangryang took Jinyang, who was grumbling, and headed towards the entrance of Mukryongbu.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked.
“Why aren’t you going back?”
“why? “Can’t I stay?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“No way. “Is there any place where you wouldn’t want to have the most trustworthy lieutenant in the world?”
Mukbi snorted.
“song.”
Two people approached Yang Chen.
Like before, Yang Cheon did not pay attention to Yeon Ho-jeong. I already knew that the two people had arrived, but they just grabbed snacks and drank alcohol.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked.
“Someone came and you didn’t even look back?”
Only then did Yangcheon look back at Yeonhojeong.
“….”
Yang Chen looked at him quietly, and alternately joy and shock appeared on his face.
“Did you take the elixir?”
“Suddenly?”
“It increased again?”
“People grow only when they go out into the world.”
“…Still, I think this is crossing the line? How is it that every time you go out and come back you become stronger?”
“It happened because we had fun fighting.”
“Don’t lie and be honest. “Did you take the elixir?”
“The Vice Lord should know better that you are not at a level where you can rise to the level with the elixir.”
“It’s a different story if it’s something like perennial hot liquid or empty crystalline oil.”
“Does that really exist? “I’ve never even heard of anyone drinking even a drop, let alone seeing it.”
Yang Chen frowned.
“there is. “I tried drinking a drop of Gongcheong Petroleum.”
He suddenly tells an amazing story. Yeon Ho-jeong and Muk-bi couldn’t help but show interest in those words.
“Really?”
“Why should I lie to you? Was it twenty years ago? “I tried it once near Gansu Province.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face showed interest.
“How did you get it?”
“It’s luck. The medicine seller sold it. “They said it was good medicine for the body and offered it for 50 silver nyang.”
Yeon Ho-jeong asked back as if it were absurd.
“Fifty nyang of silver? “Something so precious that just one drop can’t put a price on it?”
“You don’t know the value. It must have looked like something was out of the ordinary. But just looking at it, it seemed like he didn’t know what it was. “If I had known, would I have paid that money?”
“Huh.”
“Honestly, I was very upset too. Since I was so interested in such things, I looked into literature when I was young and memorized the scent color and other characteristics, so I looked into it. “But I never thought I would actually find it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked into Yang Cheon’s expression and eyes. No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t seem like he was lying.
“So you bought that precious thing for fifty pieces of silver?”
“no.”
“yes?”
“I cut it short and bought it for 40 silver coins.”
“…Did you shave that again?”
“of course. “I should not have been seen as a martial arts person who was bright or strong in the martial arts situation.”
“ah?”
“Of course, I was strong back then, but there were many people stronger than me. And as you know, no matter how strong you are, who will be able to withstand it if they come rushing in and beat you up?”
Yeonhojeong and Yangcheon each now have huge powers at their backs, but the majority of the martial arts people do not.
It was not for nothing that the martial arts group said that it was necessary to hide three pennies of one’s skills. Not to gain fame, but to survive, one had to be able to hide oneself at any time depending on the situation.
“Such things happen in life.”
“So did your martial arts skills increase?”
Yang Chen nodded.
“Just by drinking it, the blood flow in my whole body becomes purified. It was then that I realized that the medicine itself might have spirituality. It was the first time I felt the sensation of being completely open all the way to the top in an instant. “I didn’t feel good, just drank and sat down, and my body was already in tip-top condition.”
“Huh.”
“It’s fun. “Before I started the Mukryongbu, I thought I would never be able to drink such an elixir in my life, but I was lucky enough to be able to do so.”
Yangcheon said it was fate.
Yes. It could only be described as fate.
Relationships are not just between people. There is a connection between treasured swords, elixirs, and martial arts levels.
However, whether that relationship will be good or bad will be entirely up to the person who stands on the test of fate.
“I somehow ended up saying this. “I guess that’s not the problem.”
Yang Chen’s eyes lit up.
“I heard about the imperial palace.”
“yes.”
“I also heard about the king of kings.”
“yes.”
“I went out with one purpose, but as expected, I came back after taking care of many things.”
“Once you go out, wouldn’t you feel at ease if you take care of all the trivial things?”
“That is correct. So you can trust and entrust this kind of work to us. Regardless of how strong your martial arts skills are.”
Yang Chen pointed across from him with his chin.
“Let’s have a drink.”
“Good.”
“What about the archer?”
Mukbi bowed his head slightly.
“I am okay.”
Yang Chen chuckled.
“why? “Are you afraid I might get drunk and beat up your boss to death?”
Mukbi did not answer. I just stood behind Yeonhojeong.
Yang Chen grumbled.
“It would be nice to have a good subordinate.”
“I am more of a friend than a servant.”
“I guess I should have brought a few people with me.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said as he filled Yang Cheon’s cup.
“I’m sure you’ve received the report, but should I talk about it separately?”
“Of course you should. “A person playing in the field talking about what they saw and heard is on a different level from a report.”
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke in detail about everything he experienced after leaving Mukryongbu.
Yang Chen’s eyes deepened.
“King Bi was the chief priest of the Gwanghyeolgyo Church… Was he originally a general of the imperial palace?”
“It looks like that.”
“If the divine laws of your subordinates were that great, then it seems that King Bi taught the three religions based on the divine laws he obtained from the Imperial Palace Mugo.”
“I think so.”
“I feel like I’m really getting sick of it. Where on earth is there no place without them? “I knew that the Three Religions were working secretly in the imperial palace, but who would have imagined that it would be like this?”
“They are like cockroaches. However, in the words of Yongdu Ark, it is said that although there is no information outside of the information power of openness, there is no influence of the three religions within it.”
“I guess it’s still there. There just isn’t enough troops to dig into it. Still, I can say that the cleaning was done well.”
“you’re right.”
“You had a hard time. “I’ll have a drink.”
The two people coolly emptied their glasses.
The snacks were already cold due to the chilly wind. Still, after chewing one bite, it tasted good.
This time, Yangcheon filled Yeonhojeong’s cup.
“Now that I think about it, you’ve already met all three princes.”
“That’s right.”
“The divine army is here, your army is under the emperor’s command, and the demon army… is so ruined.”
“….”
“You got into a fight with that demon bastard, Kwon Shin?”
“I haven’t heard it directly, but judging by the fact that it’s called ‘dang-jung’, it’s probably true that it’s Mu-heo-daesa. “What monk in the world could have overwhelmed the demon army?”
“I guess so.”
Yang Chen shook his head.
“Did I tell you before? The Blood Jade Demon’s talent is incredible. “In 10 years, he will be able to become one of the most powerful players in the midfield.”
“Someone you know said that you evaluated it that way.”
“If he had said that, then Demon Lord’s talent would have been truly extraordinary. “You’re really amazing that you managed to defeat that guy.”
“I didn’t win on my own. “If I had just held out until the end, I would have lost if you hadn’t come in time.”
“…okay?”
“It was definitely strong. I lost in skill before competition. “I still have a long way to go.”
Yang Cheon thought this side of Yeon Ho-jeong was really scary.
Do you know when to grow martial arts? Can you detect the enemy’s weakness? Read the situation with divine insight and insight?
These are all scary abilities.
But what was truly remarkable was his coolness in saying that he was weak and inadequate even though he had made it to the top of the list before he turned 30.
Even though Yeon Ho-jeong has abilities that everyone admires, he has the advantage of not being conceited or arrogant. I don’t know about the White Island political faction, but at least in the Black Island martial arts group, there will never be anyone with this kind of personality.
‘It’s a shame.’
Yang Cheon’s eyes as he looked at Yeon Ho-jeong were particularly complex.
‘If this guy were my student, I would feel confident as if I had truly won the world.’
Looking at it calmly, Yeonhojeong can never cross over to the dark island.
Of course. This guy belonged to Byeoksan Yeonga, a prestigious martial arts family in Baekdo. He was even the eldest son.
No matter how young you are, as long as you have roots in a prestigious family, you can’t come over to the dark side.
‘And yet.’
Nevertheless, the reason he kept being obsessed with Yeon Ho-jeong was because the appearances he showed did not suit Baekdo at all.
Beyond being unsuitable, it is absolutely black. If Yeon Ho-jeong had been born in Heukdo, everyone would have clapped their hands saying that the best hero in the thousands of years of martial arts history had finally appeared.
That’s why Yangcheon couldn’t let go of Yeonhojeong. Even though I know that I will never come back to Baekdo.
‘With this guy’s skills, he could make a big difference in the world.’
Yangcheon, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, opened his mouth.
“Where…”
“Before you say anything.”
“…?”
“I have something to say to you, my lord.”
“Wasn’t the report over?”
“The public report is over, and what remains is a dangerous mix of public and private matters.”
hook.
Yeonhojeong’s prayers calmed down.
“In some cases, life and death may arise here.”
