Episode 507Summary and Challenge (7)
âI think about that every once in a while.â
My fatherâs voice sounded calmer than ever.
âInstead of getting involved in martial arts affairs, how about using the martial arts and treasures that the family has accumulated so far solely for the sake of the people?â
âYouâre still like that now, right?â
âYes, but at the same time, you also have a foot in the martial arts world, right? âIf you truly lived for them, there was no need to set foot in the Murim Alliance.â
âItâs not wrong.â
âThe reason I agreed to the creation of the Murim Alliance and the reason I sat here and participated in countless meetings was because I wanted to be a force for the world in my own way.â
ââ¦.â
âThere will be no change in those thoughts in the future. butâ¦.â
ââ¦?â
A self-mocking smile appeared on Yeonwiâs face as she looked up at the sky.
âItâs been a long time. âI felt my own desire so vividly.â
âyes?â
âYou met the Lord of the Ink Dragon, right?â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âHow was it?â
âHe was someone I couldnât handle.â
Yeonwi shook his head.
âI had a vague idea. The strong people of Seongcheon are the strong people of Cheonocheon. âBut I didnât really know the difference.â
âBecause youâve never seen it before.â
âIt did. Now I understand clearly. âWhy is the Thirteenth Place of Saint Heaven called the strongest?â
Yeonwi stuck her tongue out.
âIt was completely different. It wasnât a person. The moment she faced him, Abby felt overwhelmed. âIt was truly a martial arts skill of a different level.â
It was not normal for someone to gently express these feelings in front of their child. Yeon Ho-jeong thought that her father was a great person in many ways.
âAt the same time, the goal became clearer. The point I had only vaguely looked up to was now within my grasp. I also had this thought. âI wonder if I will ever be able to step into such a supreme state.â
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âYour father will definitely be able to reach that level. âI guarantee it.â
âIs that so?â
âHave you forgotten? âI am also someone who reached that level in the past.â
Yeonwi smiled.
âYeah, I guess thatâs what I thought about.â
He completely believed the words of his son, who had experienced the time of the Emperor of Darkness.
However, sometimes I forgot that fact. Iâve heard about it, but Iâve never seen it. I believed my sonâs words, but it was difficult to recall the fact vividly.
But hearing this now, my son definitely seemed amazing.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âMy father has accumulated martial arts skills more honestly than anyone else. âYouâre different from someone like me who looks for tricks and tips first.â
âThereâs no need to say that.â
âI just want you to know. What Iâm saying is not just to comfort your father. âIâm sure my father will reach that level of light in the near future.â
Yeonwi nodded.
âWhen you say that, I feel confident too.â
âFortunately, the.â
âThat aside.â
Yeonwi changed the topic.
âOther than martial arts, I understand why you highly value Yang Buju.â
âIs that so?â
âIt was a rare hero. He is definitely a person with human charm. Butâ¦â
âItâs dangerous.â
âYes.â
Yeonwi sighed. seaÊá´h thÑ NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âHe is a greedy person. âFor his own purposes, he would be so vicious that he would even sacrifice people around him.â
âGood to see you.â
âI heard him talking about you. âHe didnât just look favorably on you, he coveted you a lot.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
âIsnât it the natural way for humans to covet what they canât have?â
It was a statement that clearly drew a line. It also meant that even if the sky fell, there would be no way for anyone to truly fall under him.
Yeonwi patted Yeonhojeong on the shoulder.
âI believe he will do well there as well.â
âDo not worry.â
âIâve often told you that even if you fail your mission, you should return safely.â
ââ¦.â
âAbbyâs heart is always the same. âWork for the world, but you must not get hurt and come back unharmed.â
Yeon Ho-jeong bowed on the spot.
âIâll have a nice trip.â
* * *
Kugugoogung!
The Jujakhwamun (æ±éç«é), the southern gate of the Murim Alliance, opened with a solemn sound.
Zhuge Wenhu personally came out to the castle gate to see them off.
âThis is travel expenses I pay separately.â
âThereâs no need for thatâ¦â
âAccept it. Isnât it true that people become ugly when they donât have money? You are going to the Mukryongbu as the representative of the Murim Alliance. âIâve done well so far, but I need to be more careful in the future.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled slightly.
âSince you said so, I will be grateful.â
âAnyway, where did you put the ax you originally used? Would you be okay with those two hatchets?â
âitâs okay. In fact, you may not be able to use an ax in the Mukryong Club.â
âhmm.â
There must be another reason. Zhuge Wenhu nodded.
âPlease take care of your loss rate.â
Paeyul said with a sour face.
âDonât worry. âEven if he gets into an accident, he sees where heâs lying and hits him.â
âHehe, Iâm not saying this because Iâm afraid youâll get into an accident.â
âI will serve well as the leader of the Murim Alliance.â
Zhuge Wenhu quenched his appetite. Paeyulâs blunt personality was very difficult to deal with.
âI understand. And Prosecutor Kang. âYou too, take care of yourself.â
âyep.â
Itâs a cheerful answer. Zhuge Munho chuckled and then looked at Kang Ryang with puzzled eyes.
âBut why are your eyes so bright? âI had a black-and-white bruise.â
âOh, thisâ¦â
Kangryang cleared his throat and turned his head.
The loss rate was ridiculous.
âThis is the result of Kanghoâs senior giving affectionate lessons to his junior.â
It was a well-spoken teaching, but at this level it seemed almost like a one-sided assault.
Zhuge Munho clicked his tongue.
âDonât be too harsh. Still, arenât you a senior?â
âThat is something that cannot be ignored.â
Paeyul rolled up his sleeves.
For a moment, Zhuge Wenhu was speechless. Blood was still oozing out of Paeyulâs arm, which was tightly bound with bandages.
âDo you know how ferocious that crazy sword is? If I had made a mistake, my bones would have been broken into pieces. Itâs a good thing itâs just a black eye. âI thought he was just a cheap guy, but I never thought he was just a crazy guy.â
Kang-ryang cleared his throat again.
Zhuge Wenhu sighed.
âRestrain yourself from now on. both.â
âI told you not to worry.â
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile.
âBoth of them are people with a clear distinction between construction and construction. âDonât worry too much.â
âIf you say so.â
Paeyul grumbled softly. I muttered in a voice that even the person next to me couldnât understand, and I roughly thought, âIâm so sad that Iâm going to live.â âHow old am I?â âIf I keep doing this, Iâll end up serving as a junior servant.â There were lines like this.
Of course, Zhuge Wenhu ignored his complaints. I couldnât hear very well and I didnât really have any intention of responding.
âThen I wish you luck.â
So the three people headed to Mukryongbu, Hunan Province.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who drove the horse at the front, was never in a hurry.
Rather, I rode the horse at a moderate speed that made me feel relaxed. He looked around and smiled once in a while, but it was similar to a person who went on a trip because he had nothing to do.
Paeyul asked.
âShouldnât we go quickly?â
âYou can go in moderation. âTheyâre probably compiling a list of things they want me to do anyway.â
âIs that so?â
âI donât know when Iâll be able to come back. âI donât particularly like to immerse myself in memories, but wouldnât it be nice to think of the scenery around here every once in a while when I feel lonely?â
âhmm.â
Paeyul glanced around.
âItâs not a memorable sight.â
âIs that so.â
With those words, Paeyul closed his mouth. Riding his horse at a similar speed to Yeonhojeong, he instantly fell into meditation.
All the time available each day is focused on martial arts training. Even though it was just meditation, Paeyul devoted himself to the practice.
Kang Ryang, who wanted to mess around, also fell into meditation while watching the defeat. Although he was quite a rough person, this part was worth learning from.
âItâs a good combination.â
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the two people and nodded inwardly.
âWe will clash a lot, but we will be able to provide enough help to each other.â
The strength was challenging, and the loss rate was full of strong winning spirit.
Even so, the line was not crossed. They will bicker all the time, but in the process, both of them will be able to grow quickly.
âItâs growth.â
Ugh.
Yeon Ho-jeong contemplated his inner self.
âWeâve established the foundation, now all thatâs left to do is expand it.â
The Yeongasindan he has now trained contains four of the five major martial arts combined into one.
The shrine itself can emit an enormous amount of magical energy. The energy of the four divine techniques can be released with the desired concentration and force according to the situation.
Then, the Sasinmu that receives that power will also exert even more powerful power.
âItâs enough now, but if you want more than that, it would be better to strike a balance.â
I learned Byeoknajingyeol the longest, and after that I learned Yongpojingi.
Compared to those two martial arts, sword fighting and stretching skills should be considered at a baby level. This means that although the understanding of Shingong was perfect, the level of softness was so-so.
âThere is no need to increase the achievements of each martial arts since we have become one as a Shindan. But itâs better for the future to have a perfect balance.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes lit up.
âFor the time being, Iâll have to focus on my sword fighting skills and kidney skills.â
I had a lot of thoughts about this and that, but it still felt good. This was because martial arts, which had been stagnant for a while, was showing signs of development again.
And where will this development end?
âItâs Seongcheon.â
In the past, during the time of the Emperor of Darkness, he was called the greatest fighter due to his fearsome fighting skills.
At the very least, you should have more power than that. That way, future fights will be much more comfortable.
As I thought about my military achievements and my future, my thoughts naturally turned to the Mukryongbu and the Seongcheon Thirteen Pillars.
âWhat is the first mission that the Inkryongbuju wants from me? At least it wonât be easy.â
During our previous meeting, I talked to Yang Cheon about various things before we parted ways.
Yeon Ho-jeong recalled the conversation at that time.
âIf you come and work with me, nothing will be as good as that. But the headquarters runs just fine without you. In other words, there is no need for you to come to the headquarters and do things like run operations or manage the combat organization.â
âIf you do that, thereâs no need for me to be dispatched, right?â
âYou can come to headquarters and play. Because of you alone, many people can learn and I wonât be bored.â
âI donât want to come more and more.â
âBut that wonât work. In other words, you will be responsible for tasks that we would not dare to do.â
âWhat is that?â
âWell⦠I guess Iâll have to think about it.â
âWhat are you thinking about? âIt looks like youâve already thought about it.â
âHehe, I was just thinking about it. In fact, it is desirable for black and white to join hands before the war against the three religions, but there are many masters in the martial arts world besides us.â
ââ¦no way?â
âThatâs just the way it is. But wouldnât it be good for both the political faction and us if we could join hands with some of âthemâ?â
ââ¦.â
âThink about it for a moment. âIâll think about it too.â
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
âSeongcheon⦠Itâs finally that area. In many ways.â
