Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 966
Episode 966
Flames covering the sky (6)
It was a confrontation that instantly chilled the atmosphere of the palace.
Unexpectedly, the emperor was looking at the two people with interested eyes. The fact that he could not be embarrassed even in a tense confrontation between absolute masters who had risen to the top of the world was enough to show that he was special.
A sudden moment.
“It’s outrageous.”
One word that stops the temperature from falling over time.
Gok-gyeong, who was sitting next to Yongsang, spoke in a cool voice.
“This is outside the place where the Emperor is. “His Majesty told you not to care about the law, but if you truly care about His Majesty, you should not show it like that.”
There was no mistake in Gok-gyeong’s words.
Gi Cheon-woong, who was quietly looking at Yeon-wi, soon smiled.
“Put down the knife. “I was a little harsh.”
He was reacting to Yeonwi’s unknown power.
A man who is clearly below him but possesses an incomprehensible power. This was the first time since I left the building that I had provoked someone without my knowledge.
Yeonwi slowly put down his sword.
He bowed his head. Although Ki Cheonwoong was in front of him, his apology was directed at the emperor.
“I showed a frivolous appearance in Your Majesty’s presence. “Please forgive me.”
The emperor waved his hand carelessly.
“It’s okay. Two tigers cannot live on one mountain. “When you meet, you start a war of nerves. Isn’t it natural for a warrior to want to win?”
At this level, it was difficult to guess the extent of the emperor’s understanding.
If you just look at his actions and words, he is no different from plain rejection. It was his disposition to never create a rigid atmosphere except for the minimum level of authority.
Gi Cheon-woong sat down next to him and raised his teacup.
Although he was sitting below the dragon statue, his posture was so comfortable that he did not look like the emperor’s subordinate.
Yeon Wi and Yangcheon Peng Mu-gang knelt across from Gi Cheon-woong and sat in a sitting position.
They sat in a seat where civil, military, and civil servants were naturally lined up on their left and right.
Gi Cheon-woong did not even look at the three people, but as he drank tea, his senses were minutely scanning the prayers of the three people.
The emperor opened his mouth.
“You had a lot of trouble coming this far.”
Peng Wugang bowed his head and said.
“I’m just sad I couldn’t come sooner.”
“It’s okay.”
The emperor looked at the three people and then looked at Qi Tianxiong again.
“I’d like to talk about how we lived so far in a quiet place, but I guess I should at least explain the situation to those of you who took the time to come here.”
When the emperor closed his mouth, Qu Jing opened his mouth.
“After the first Xinhua cult leader broke down the Northern Gate…”
Afterwards, Gokjing explained in detail what had happened so far.
Although it was detailed, it didn’t feel long-winded, perhaps because it was explained so coherently. Although he was usually a difficult person to approach due to his sharp personality, he had accumulated many abilities while staying by the emperor’s side for a long time.
After hearing Gok-gyeong’s story, the group looked at Ki Cheon-woong with different eyes.
Transparent eyes, interesting eyes and eyes full of distrust.
Gi Cheon-woong chuckled.
“Even if it’s up to the emperor, we’re going to join hands in the future, so don’t glare at me too much. “I still don’t feel very good.”
He spoke comfortably as if he were a friend, but his tone made me feel even more intimidated.
Yan Yu, who had been looking at him for a long time, bowed his head to the emperor and said.
“your majesty.”
“You tell me.”
“Would you like to have a private conversation with the person who will become the next Bumadowi?”
Gok-gyeong opened his eyes.
“Hey, Yeongaju.”
“It’s good.”
The emperor looked at Yang Chen with excited eyes.
“I liked you from the first time we met. “I, too, am anxious to talk to the master of the Black Island Martial Arts as soon as possible.”
“Then, would it be okay for Soin to have a separate conversation with the Shinhwa cult leader in the night breeze?”
“There’s no reason Jim shouldn’t be okay.”
The emperor looked at Qi Tianxiong.
Gi Cheon-woong chuckled.
“I thought the first meeting would be quite troublesome, but it’s really frustrating to be treated like this.”
Yeonwi stood up from her seat.
“If you do, I will come back after the conversation.”
“It’s okay to go straight back to the lodgings you used before and relieve your travel fatigue. “I’ll come again tomorrow.”
Yeon Wei bowed his head once more and left the royal palace with Peng Wugang.
Gi Cheon-woong also put down his tea cup and left the royal palace with his back behind him.
Outside the royal palace.
There was an extremely long and ornate wall lined up next to the magnificently polished fishway.
Yeon Wei smiled and said to Peng Wugang.
“You must be tired, but you don’t rest.”
“When will I have another opportunity to have a deep conversation with the leader of the Shinhwa cult?”
Although he was grinning, there was a tension that couldn’t be hidden on Peng Wugang’s face.
Yeonwi looked at Ki Cheonwoong.
Ki Cheon-woong is still leisurely walking from afar.
The sight of him looking at the night sky with his back to me was full of breathtaking, solemn beauty.
Although he was an unfamiliar handsome man from a foreign country, his blond hair blowing in the wind, his bare feet exposed to his proud physique, and his white clothes made him look like a hero god from mythology.
How close did it get like that?
“Good.”
Gi Cheon-woong took a deep breath again.
“The air is very nice. It’s strict but very clear. “The emperor’s laws and regulations can be drawn like a painting on the clear air of the central plains.”
Yeonwi thought.
‘It’s like a flame.’
It’s dangerous, but beautiful. If you look at it quietly, you won’t even think about anything else.
It was the shape of the flame itself, fluttering freely, setting heaven and earth on fire, and living a short but splendid life.
“so.”
Ki Cheon-woong has already reached the first chapter of Yeonwi.
It was big when seen from a distance, but it was even bigger when seen up close.
Should I call it presence?
Even the skeleton felt different from the Jungwon people. It wasn’t just the atmosphere, but the long limbs and gaping skeleton itself seemed to make the person look bigger.
“Why did you ask to see me separately?”
The corners of Ki Cheon-woong’s mouth rose.
“Maybe you want to scold me?”
“How many people in the whole world can scold you?”
“Does it even exist?”
“It’s a different story if you’re just killing them.”
The smile was the same, but Ki Cheon-woong’s eyes became cold.
Yeonwi said calmly.
“See? How could I kill you?”
“….”
“I don’t think I can see very well.”
The smile on Ki Cheon-woong’s face also disappeared before he knew it.
Peng Wugang’s face was tense, and Yan Wei’s face was filled with a characteristic indifference.
“I will ask you directly.”
“….”
“Why is Sangdanjeon like that?”
Gi Cheon-woong was silent for a long time.
Yeonwi patiently waited for his answer.
How long has it been?
“Do you see that?”
“I can still see it clearly.”
A smile appeared on Gi Cheonwoong’s face again.
It was a strange smile filled with bitterness, admiration, sorrow, and joy.
“That’s amazing.”
“….”
“I heard from the emperor that your son has captured and killed many of our church’s children.”
“Because we had a good relationship.”
“I didn’t say this to blame your son for causing damage to our school.”
“….”
“Considering your age, my son would have been over 30 at most, but I doubted that such a genius was possible.”
“….”
“Looking at me like this, I understand. “If the talent of the person who became the father was so outstanding, how could the abilities of the child who inherited his blood be ordinary?”
“My son is stronger than me.”
Gi Cheon-woong nodded.
“Things like that happen, too. Because it’s not strange no matter what happens in the world.”
“….”
“But if it is a matter of life and death, there is no one more dangerous than you.”
“They said I couldn’t see it.”
“You can’t see it, but you can feel it a little bit.”
Ki Cheon-woong’s finger pointed to Yeon-wi’s forehead.
“There is something scary lurking in your upper chamber. “If you use that power freely, it seems like you can neutralize any opponent with a single blow.”
“If you give me the opportunity to do that.”
“Of course it is.”
Gi Cheon-woong turned and sat down, leaning his back against the wall.
The feet and clothes are strangely clean. Yeonwi also sat next to Ki Cheonwoong.
Peng Mu-gang felt awkward for some reason and just stood leaning against the wall.
“You said you’ve been staying at the closed house for fifteen years?”
“It did.”
“To become stronger?”
“There are no warriors who have to close for reasons other than gaining strength.”
“I guess you’ve become stronger.”
“At the same time, I feel weaker.”
“What I want to know is.”
Yeonwi looked back at Ki Cheonwoong.
Suddenly, he realized that he was sitting side by side with a rare monster that could fill the entire midfield with fear.
And that reality did not give Yeonwi any inspiration.
“Did you make a mistake or did you fall into someone else’s hands?”
“….”
“Senior Tuwang Yangcheon knew my abilities thoroughly as soon as he saw me. But you can’t do that. “It’s probably because half of the upper deck was destroyed.”
“….”
“It’s hard to believe how you can survive in such a state.”
“It’s thanks to Hwajeong.”
Gi Cheon-woong said in a calm voice.
“Our school has a technique called Hwajeong. If you complete Hwajeong and raise it to that level, you can preserve your life even if you receive a serious fatal injury.”
“Is that what prevented the collapse of Sangdanjeon?”
“I stopped it, but it doesn’t live long.”
It was an honest statement.
Due to his nature as a senior officer, no matter how hostile he is, he does not act aggressively from the first meeting. However, the reason he came out so strong was because Ki Cheon-woong’s existence itself was so strange.
I thought they were probably using magic spells or special magical techniques to maintain the status quo. In that case, I thought I might have to make a firm decision for the future.
However, when we actually had a conversation, Ki Cheon-woong did not feel any samagi. Rather, he was covering up feelings of emptiness and bitterness more than anyone else with a strong presence and slightly sharp vocabulary.
“What on earth did the Saeum Church do?”
“Before blaming the Saeum Church, I must have raised my child incorrectly.”
“….”
“Furthermore, he was not good as a monarch. “The intentions were good.”
“….”
“In the end, I brought it all on myself.”
“Did your son rebel?”
Gi Cheon-woong’s eyes deepened.
“My son’s talent is beyond mine. Like your son, he reached heavenly heights more than 20 years ago thanks to his God-given talent. “He must be around 50 now.”
At the age of fifty, if it was more than twenty years ago, it means that he reached the realm of heaven and earth before thirty.
If true, it would be no exaggeration to say that it was truly a talent sent from heaven.
“I wonder how much dissatisfaction must have built up since he was unable to become a religious leader for a long time even though he had such talent. “I said that I would become the leader of a religious cult at some point, but I don’t think my son thought that way.”
“You had no patience.”
“I had patience. “The desire was just too big.”
“….”
“The person who ignited that desire and manipulated him from behind to take over the real power of this church is the leader of the Four Eums.”
Ki Cheon-woong’s blue eyes contained vivid anger.
“Samunhyang, the leader of Saeumgyo. As a result, Tanggeum Shinhwagyo became practically a branch of Saeumgyo.”
