Episode 888The Demon’s Hometown (1)

“Really…”

Yang Cheon had a look of shock on his face.

“I can’t tell if this guy is causing accidents on a random day or if he’s instinctively looking for places where accidents happen.”

White Paper bowed his head at the grumbling words of his lord.

“I don’t really understand the thoughts of the Meng military.”

“hmm?”

“The organization called Shinmarim, whose owner is Maseon Hyeokryeonhwi, is clearly a secret traitor that no one has ever seen. And although Sobuju is a close friend, he is clearly a person of Mukryongbu. “I wonder how it is possible to ask the successor of the Mukryongbu to do something like this.”

Yang Chen smiled.

“Is Sobuju worried?”

“Of course there are concerns, but I want to talk about the burden.”

“Is it a burden?”

“Zhuge Wenhu is definitely a wise man. “It is safe to say that it is highly unlikely that such a person would see So Bu-ju as a person of the Yeon family and ask for it like before.”

“I think so too.”

“If you look at it another way, it is no different from asking the next leader of the Murim Alliance to resolve the request of the Shinmarim higher-ups who came to us.”

There was a look of puzzlement on Baek Seo’s face.

“Regardless of his pride, there is no way he doesn’t know that it can be a significant political burden. Still, it’s a little strange that you’d ask me for something like that.”

Even within the group, he may be criticized for hastily driving out the successor of another organization to the death, but before that, the Mukryongbu does not look kindly on the military.

That is very natural. Since Yeon Ho-jeong had already reached a position where neither the Murim Alliance nor the Mukryongbu could do anything rashly, it was difficult for anyone to readily ask for something unless he acted of his own will.

Nevertheless, Zhuge Lianghu demanded it.

“Isn’t the situation confusing? In the midst of all this, there is also the Shinmarimju Maseon, and whether he is an archduke or something, isn’t it said that he is a genius who has reached the ultimate level? “If you have that much power, it would be natural for there to be a Seongcheon-level expert among your dispatchers.”

“Of course it is, but….”

“Yes, I know. Speaking of being an expert in Seongcheon, it would be strange that he chose the Gojeong when he also possesses the Murim Alliance. Even if it puts a burden on you politically.”

“That’s right.”

In fact, if you put all these things aside, Yeonhojeong was definitely the place to be.

Yeon Ho-jeong was not only a martial arts expert. Yeonhojeong’s true strength was not in military force, but in his ability to quickly judge the situation, his unfailing wit to respond, and his fearsome driving force.

Yeon Ho-jeong had outstanding insight and experience that allowed him to conclude the case in any form. There are many people who can replace Yeon Ho-jeong when it comes to martial arts skills, but it is safe to say that there are almost no people who can replace Yeon Ho-jeong when it is necessary to close a case to suit one’s taste.

However, if we only think about the use of Yeonhojeong in that way, he would have to be involved in all kinds of events under the martial arts world.

In fact, Yeon Ho-jeong was involved in major cases and solved most of them, but there were many talented people in this world other than Yeon Ho-jeong.

Considering the current situation, it would have been okay to collect and dispatch several experts. There is no reason to send Yeonhojeong at the expense of political burden.

“Actually, I was also skeptical about that at first.”

“As expected, you said that.”

“Just as you said, Zhuge Lianghu is not thoughtless. So, I think he didn’t bother to ask Hojeong for something because he was confident or had his own thoughts.”

White Paper’s eyes deepened.

“It’s a bit cunning, though.”

“hmm?”

“On our side, we can run into this issue at any time. However, in the current situation, expressing dissatisfaction with the Murim Alliance is also an act of damaging a well-established alliance.”

“That’s right.”

“At least the Molongbu won’t be able to say anything else… I wonder if Zhuge Lianghu had such thoughts in mind when he did this…”

Yang Chen nodded.

“I’m sure you thought that too. “But in this case, the Murim Alliance would also not be able to express their dissatisfaction with us.”

“That’s true.”

“I think maybe…”

Yangcheon continued after a pause.

“It seems like a question of influence.”

“Influence?”

“hmm.”

Yang Chen picked up the teacup.

Steam slowly rose over the cooled teacup.

“Hojeong’s presence is unrivaled even in his time. In fact, he went as a special and plenipotentiary ambassador to the Mukryongbu, but there were so many people cheering for Hojeong, right?”

Although the human mind was different yesterday and different today, Yeon Ho-jeong’s unconventional moves and endless talent were certainly enough to make her an object of envy.

People are bound to feel jealous of those who run wild within common sense. For monsters that deviate from common sense, one feels admiration rather than jealousy.

Yeon Ho-jeong was exactly like that. In the minds of the Murim Alliance warriors who already saw him, Yeon Ho-jeong would have been perceived not as a peer of the same age, but as a monster from another dimension.

“Now, Hojeong has gone beyond simply being the best in the world, having reached Seongcheon, the master of problem-solving ability, and has become a person who leads the hearts of all people.”

“But how could that be…?”

“Wasn’t the first Murim lord born?”

“ah!”

White Paper let out an exclamation.

Yangcheon twirled the teacup. Lately, he has stayed away from alcohol and closer to tea. It wasn’t because I had any other purpose, but because I thought it was unreasonable to drink alone.

“The character and influence of a public ambassador are as good as anyone else’s. It’s natural since he’s already the leader of Shaolin. However, the influence of Hojeong is also significant. “Especially among the younger generation, it can be said to be truly enormous.”

“I see.”

“No matter how respected the public ambassador is, if you divide him into new and old, he is clearly an old-fashioned person like me. Since such a person became the first leader, there will be no one more unpleasant than Gojeong when looking at the political situation.”

Of course, I would not look at Zhuge Li, Ambassador Gong, or Yan Haozheng in a bad light.

What was important was his own influence, which did not work as he intended. The mere existence of Yeonhojeong has the potential to cause division among members.

Of course, the possibility of that happening is extremely small. But it definitely exists.

In that case, it is important to drive him out of that position as soon as possible, but that is not possible since he came to the alliance as a special and plenipotentiary ambassador of the Mukryongbu.

That was the reason why Zhuge Liang pushed Yeonhojeong into the Sinmarim incident.

“You really use it however you like.”

“yes.”

“But… we can’t blame him.”

“Of course. “If it’s bitter, we spit it out, and if it’s sweet, we swallow it.”

After taking a sip of tea, Yangcheon said, ‘Huh!’ He made a sound. It was like drinking and having a hangover.

White Paper continued speaking cautiously.

“No matter what, petty dogmatism can clearly be said to be a problem. “You wouldn’t know if we had discussed it thoroughly, but didn’t you contact us through notification?”

“That’s right.”

Yang Chen laughed bitterly.

“But you can’t help but listen, right? “It’s a problem where you can’t just grab that guy by the hair and drag him from a long distance away.”

“….”

“And… this is an era that needs that kind of temperament from him.”

“yes?”

“Honestly, isn’t this a relationship in which we joined hands based on the needs of the head office’s minor governor?”

“Bubu lord!”

“I’m sure he has his own thoughts.”

Yang Chen’s eyes lit up.

“Like we’re doing things our own way.”

White Paper sighed slightly.

To him, the Mukryongbu is his lord’s organization and the proudest organization in the history of the Black Island.

As Yang Cheon’s direct subordinate, it was as important for him to cultivate this organization as well as any other sect. Rather than an organization that will end in one era, we want to create an organization that will maintain its existence for a long time.

In that sense, the existence of Sobuju was similar to, and in some ways even more important than, Yangcheon.

‘He is truly a difficult person to deal with.’

I knew that, but it occurred to me that he was a truly reckless person.

“Well, it’s already happened like this, so what can we do? “I don’t know if it’s anyone else, but I’m sure he’ll do well since he’s used to that type of work.”

As Yang Cheon said, Yeon Ho-jeong was involved in this kind of work once or twice.

Whether against those weaker than him or those stronger than him, Yeonhojeong always succeeded in his mission. Even if he failed, he always came back with his life intact.

No one can be sure how things work in the world, but you can still trust Yeon Ho-jeong. At least as a minor lord of the Mukryongbu, he is not a great man who would carelessly risk his life.

“By the way, have you heard from him?”

“Oh yeah. “It is said that we have entered Honam together with the Confederation Province.”

Yang Cheon smiled bitterly.

“I never thought I would see it this way. After all, life is a fun thing.”

“Since we are closer than the Murim Alliance, it would definitely be good to meet once and find out each other’s intentions.”

“I guess that’s why I’m asking you to see me first. “At the same time, he knows how to bow first and is very good at it.” Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Interest appeared on Yang Chen’s face.

“Gangseo Alliance’s Moyonggun… Is this the first time since Hojeong came as head of the intelligence department and left?”

* * *

Two days have passed since the leader’s appointment ceremony ended.

“Do you like tea?”

“yes. Very good.”

“Thank goodness.”

Zhuge Wenhu sighed.

“I am so confused about the appointment ceremony. “You came at a time of chaos, and Prince Cheon suffered a lot.”

Hyorak Cheon said with a smile.

“I’m here to ask a favor. You don’t need to worry about that. And…”

Cheon Hyo-rak’s face became slightly excited. He wasn’t pretending, he seemed really excited.

“Thanks to you, I was able to see the dance of the transcendentals. “Really, where can you go and see a fight like that?”

Zhuge Wenhu smiled.

“It was really amazing, wasn’t it?”

“yes. I was truly surprised. And I was sure.”

Cheon Hyorak’s eyes sparkled.

“I am confident that with his strength, Yeonhojeong Sobuju will be able to play a decisive role in resolving the problems of this area.”

Zhuge Wenhu nodded.

“I have never seen a person as talented as Yeon Sobuju in my life. “To be honest, I hope everything goes well for my daughter.”

“I heard that your daughter is a heroine with both beauty and intelligence.”

“Hehe, I’m just thankful that there are people who look at me like that. Anyway, Yeon Sobuju is a great person. So…”

Zhuge Wenho’s eyes suddenly changed.

“Never take him lightly.”

Cheon Hyo-rak was inwardly surprised.

He knew that Zhuge Wenhu had asked Yeon Hao-jeong to do this.

Although he was a member of the Yeon family, he was also the head of the Mukryongbu, so I wondered if there was a need for him to do so.

Only now was I able to guess the reason. It was a deliberate attempt to send the first leader, Ambassador Gong, to gain control over the alliance.

But looking at Zhuge Li’s face now, I thought it wasn’t just because of that reason.

“Yeon Sobuju is a very important person to me both publicly and privately. “If I lose him, I will grieve as if I lost my own flesh and blood.”

Cheon Hyorak’s eyes wavered.

“Our family gained strength thanks to the Yeon family. And as a political ally, he crushed countless evil karma and brought the Murim Alliance to this point. We have that pride.”

“….”

“The reason I send him to Shinmarim is because I think he is a vessel that can encompass the evil and the evil, and even the magic, even before the master’s control.”

“…!”

“So ask him for help thoroughly and without hiding anything. Don’t hide it because it’s a secret, and don’t reject it because it’s a different culture. In the unlikely event that he suffers injustice in Shinmarim…”

Zhuge Munho smiled coldly.

“The relationship between the Murim League and the Shinmarim will not be very good.”
