Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 845
Episode 845
Core of the typhoon (2)
“The air is nice.”
The voice was strange. It was a quiet voice typical of an old person, but it was filled with a coldness reminiscent of frost.
It was truly refreshing to hear the admiration in that cold voice. Because the voice seemed to be blunt, the admiration expressed seemed more sincere.
“The beauty of Huangshan Mountain is the best in the world, but the scenery of Daebyeol Mountain in winter is not bad either. “I found a place in a nice place with this refreshing air.”
The sight of an old man standing on a high snow-covered peak looking down was truly unusual.
Wearing a white ceremonial uniform and a blue jangsam. Although early spring is just around the corner, the weather still requires fur clothes, but it doesn’t seem to be cold at all.
Although it is not particularly decorated, it has a very elegant feel. The neatly slicked-back hair and well-groomed outfit gave the viewer the impression that it was classy.
“How do you feel? In your eyes?”
“great.”
The man with the calm voice was a very handsome young man.
A little taller than an old man. His presence cannot be compared to that of an old man, but the aura of devotion that the young man exudes makes him appear unusual.
The old man looked at the young man’s nose.
In cold weather, it is normal for white steam to be released when breathing. Still, the young man’s snort was not visible.
What is invisible to the eyes of ordinary people is visible to the eyes of the elderly. There was nothing that could not be seen in the eyes of a rare power that transcended humanity.
However, the fact that the young man’s snort was not visible meant that his breathing was long and thin.
Daebyeolsan Mountain is not low. Moreover, it must have been difficult to keep up with the old man’s pace. However, breathing is very stable.
The old man nodded.
“I sped up the car to check, and now it’s worth taking a look.”
Considering the hellish training I had been through, it didn’t end with me saying it was acceptable.
But the young man was not offended at all. Because he knew that his grandfather’s personality was like that, and in fact, he also thought that he had finally built a foundation.
Of course, it’s hard to build a foundation, but we haven’t even really taken off yet. A bird that has never flapped its wings properly is not yet a bird.
The young man truly thought so. You think of yourself as lacking.
“It was a long way away.”
There was a slightly satisfied look on the old man’s face.
It is more satisfying to see a young man truly say that he has far gone than his achievements.
“People are always lacking. The important thing is whether you know what you lack or not. “Only now do I have the qualifications to fly to heaven.”
“It’s thanks to my grandfather’s teachings.”
“In fact, your talent was not lacking compared to your older brother. However, your brother always knew how to look after his own talents. “Sometimes I am overconfident and make mistakes, but I know how to admit when I am lacking something.”
“yes.”
“In terms of martial arts, your older brother is better than you. But when it comes to prudence, you are better than your brother. So your talents are on the same level.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“For a warrior, politics and management skills always come second. Even a brilliant mind will crumble in front of the mighty martial arts. “Don’t forget that you are descended from the greatest sword family in the world.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“OK.”
The old man looked at the Murim Alliance in the distance.
The appearance of the Murim Alliance, boasting overwhelming majesty, was so great that it thrilled even the old man who thought that anything other than the sword was useless.
“It’s strange.”
A strange excitement appeared on the old man’s face.
“I thought there was no one I could share my hand with other than the old monsters of Seongcheon, but the energy of a half-seon is radiating out that makes this old man’s heart flutter.”
“yes?”
“It’s not even one, but two… The world is wide, after all. “One is cool and the other is bitter.”
“….”
The old man pointed at the Murim Alliance with his chin.
“We will make sure it arrives within half a day. Please follow me carefully.”
“yes.”
hook!
Two people, old and young, disappeared from the peak.

“…?”
Yeon Ho-jeong flinched for a moment and looked out the window.
“Why are you doing that?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head in response to Cheon Hyo-rak’s question.
“There’s something that bothered me for a moment. sorry.”
“Haha no.”
“Have a drink.”
“yes.”
The two soothed their stomachs with hot tea.
It was Cheon Hyo-rak who opened his mouth first.
“It’s phenomenal.”
“…?”
“Honestly, I was skeptical until Sobuju came.”
“What do you mean?”
“Has the person known as the Supreme King really reached that level?”
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.
“Fare King… It’s a nickname that’s really not funny.”
“no. That’s not true. “After seeing him in person, I now understand why the world calls Lord Sobu the King.”
It wasn’t just something I said.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“I don’t know what you’re looking at when you say that, but in any case, it’s an excessive compliment to me.”
“It’s excessive. “It’s not even possible.”
Cheon Hyorak shook his head.
“I can’t feel anything. On the contrary, if I had felt the slightest pressure on me, I would have thought that rumors from the public could not be trusted.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s smile deepened.
“I heard that the Demonic Murim is full of a ruthlessness that cannot be compared to any other place.”
“Haha, we are people too. Even if it were different, it wouldn’t be that much different.”
“I think I know a little bit about the secret of Prince Cheon’s ability to survive in such a cruel place.”
Hwahyang’s face hardened.
On the other hand, Cheon Hyorak’s expression did not change at all.
“I’m pretty good at speaking, right?”
“Any talent is nothing to be ashamed of if it is for survival. “When I realized the absence of force, I tried to survive somehow with my wits and my tongue.”
“ha ha ha!”
Cheon Hyorak shook his head.
“It would not have been a scene befitting an absolute master known as the supreme king of the Holy Heaven.”
“Even now, sometimes I think I’m better off with my tongue than with my axe.”
“Then I guess I’ll have to be really nervous today.”
“Why is there even a need for tension? Whatever the reason, I belong to the Mukryong Club. “You can’t interfere with Murim Alliance events.”
“So, can I say that it is your personal opinion that has brought you here now?”
It was a sharp question.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head as if it was obvious.
“Is that possible? How many people do you know? “I received a request from my superiors.”
Cheon Hyo-rak looked at Yeon Ho-jeong with strange eyes, as if he was surprised.
“Are you admitting that?”
“Will anything change if I don’t admit it?”
difficult.
Cheon Hyorak thought. This man is truly a difficult person.
There is no gap in the person itself, even before considering whether he is an uninhabited person or whether he is a tribe.
‘…This is dangerous.’
He said that since he was a member of the Mukryongbu, he could not interfere with the events of the Murim Alliance. Nevertheless, he honestly admits that he came at the request of his superiors in the Murim League.
It may seem incoherent, but if you think about it a little, you can see how dangerous this situation is.
It was said that Yeonhojeong could do what the Murim League could not do. In other words, even if a fight breaks out here and he dies, it is the actions of Sobuju of the Mukryongbu and not the actions of the Murim Alliance.
The smile disappeared from Cheon Hyo-rak’s face.
If you don’t be honest here, you’ll be in trouble. The moment he clearly recognized that fact, Cheon Hyo-rak’s composure completely disappeared.
“It seems you have been asked to find out my true intentions. “Isn’t that right?”
Yeon Ho-jeong said while drinking tea.
“That is a secondary issue, and it is to give the leaders of the ruling alliance time to organize their thoughts.”
Cheon Hyorak was quite surprised.
“Is it okay for you to tell me that?”
“Surely you didn’t know?”
“….”
“I thought you knew everything.”
“I guessed.”
“It’s not a guess, it’s a certainty. “I don’t hate hiding our true feelings from each other, but it’s not the right place to do that, right?”
Don’t roll your head and engage in conversation honestly.
Cheon Hyo-rak, who was watching Yeon Ho-jeong, took a sip of tea and opened his mouth.
“What do you want to ask me?”
“These are common sense things.”
“Are you talking about common sense?”
“I am curious about many things, such as how a high-ranking member of the Madou Murim, who had not been active until now, came to join the Murim Alliance at this time and what the intentions of the Shinmarim are.”
“As expected.”
“In the end, I am curious about the reason why Prince Chun visited Meng.”
“You can tell that to the leaders of the alliance.”
“Of course you should. “It would be good if you could tell us why you came, who made this decision, who benefits from it, and if you benefit, why you benefit.”
Cheon Hyorak shook his head.
“I will also meet with the leadership and discuss this.”
Hwahyang was nervous inside.
She did not know the deeper meaning of this short conversation. However, I could feel the strange tension in the conversation.
Furthermore, I wonder how much the owner’s words could make this place cold.
Surprisingly, Yeonhojeong’s reaction was different from Hwahyang’s thoughts.
“You are honest. great.”
A sincere smile appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
Hwahyang was nervous about Cheon Hyo-rak’s reaction, but Yeon Ho-jeong seemed satisfied with his answer.
“I would have been greatly disappointed if someone who could be a comrade who would join hands in moving forward had only thought of the other person for no reason.”
“…?!”
“I like the deployment that allows you to risk your life and be honest when necessary. “I mean it.”
Cheon Hyorak’s eyes trembled slightly.
“A comrade?”
“Oh, don’t take it to heart. I am a person who does not like to divide between white and black. “The Dead Sea is called Dongdo, so there’s no reason why we can’t join hands with the Demon Island, right?”
That may not be the only reason.
But Cheon Hyo-rak couldn’t ask why you didn’t speak honestly.
‘Are you serious?’
A smiling face, unwavering eyes, and a neat tone and voice.
I thought he was just saying this, but he seemed to really think that way. At least that was how Cheon Hyorak saw it.
“Since you think so, I really don’t have anything to say.”
“Just think positively. “Because I mean it.”
“If you really think so… I’m touched. “As a member of the Demonic Martial Forest.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said while maintaining a smile.
“Instead, I would like you to answer this now.”
“Please speak.”
“Did you know in advance where the head of the Tang clan was coming?”
“….”
“I really want you to answer this question.”
Cheon Hyo-rak, who was quietly looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, suddenly asked.
“Does our life or death depend on this answer?”
“Absolutely not.”
If you say that, you should at least lie.
“Yes, I knew.”
“okay.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin.
“It’s an area… It’s surrounded by volcanoes and Jongnam, but it’s an area where a lot of people from the north come and go. “Next to it is Gansu Castle, and active trade is taking place through Okmun Pass.”
“…?”
“If you were in the Central Plains, there is no way the government wouldn’t have known, and even if the government didn’t know, it would have been difficult for the Dark Island’s intelligence group to not have known…” “
…!”
Yeon Ho-jeong touched her lips with her fingers and muttered to herself.
“As expected, it’s just as I guessed. There is a high probability that Shinmarim will be located not in the central region but near Cheonghae.”
Cheon Hyorak’s face was colored with astonishment.
