Episode 235
Conflict (5)
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssss…
Yangcheon’s face looked calmer than expected.
His breathing was steady and his complexion was as red as that of a young person. Looking at the exposed arm muscles, it seemed like there were no major problems with the body.
Still, I lost my mind.
“According to the councilor, it is difficult to know exactly the current condition of the vice-lord. However, it is said that Buju’s inner power is gradually moving to the upper level, and I suspect that may be one of the reasons.”
“Do you usually drink a lot?”
“Do more. But I don’t think that just alcohol will take a toll on your health.”
It was a natural analysis.
Even if you are a master at the peak, you can almost immediately excrete alcohol from your body through internal energy. It was an art that could be performed by someone with a good understanding of internal energy, even if he or she was not a peak expert.
Moreover, internal energy constantly circulates throughout the body. It is difficult to refresh the body of an expert, no matter how strong the drink, as the true energy flows through the whole body several to ten times more than that of an ordinary person who has not learned internal skills.
It goes without saying that it is King Tu, the transcendental figure of the martial arts world of the time.
“And one more thing.”
“hmm?”
“There is a golden handprint on the father’s chest.”
Lightning struck from Yeonhojeong’s pupil.
“Golden handprint?”
“exactly.”
“…Do you really think it was a secret attack?”
“That’s not true.”
The white paper spoke in a particularly harsh voice. He must be trying hard to get his mind together.
“I heard that the scars were from the Vice Lord’s past competition with a certain expert.”
“….”
“Among the zodiac signs, I am the only one who has heard of this. Of course, I’ve never seen it in person.”
“If the marks haven’t gone away yet, does that mean you’ve been suffering from internal injuries?”
“That is something that no one but the Vice Lord can know. However, since there was no comment from the congressman, I believe the possibility is low because of that.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the white paper.
The white paper still had a blunt face.
“Why did you call me?”
“….”
“Although I am trusted by the Vice Lord, it is still difficult to call him a confidant. “Aren’t the seniors of the zodiac the ones who served the Vice Lord longer?”
“The Vice Lord trusts you more than anyone else.”
“….”
“At least within the Inkryongbu, there are no more than three people who are as favored by the Vice Lord as you are. “Considering that the Vice Lord is a person who does not even trust the countless disciples he has gathered, his trust in the head of the Information Department can be said to be truly unconventional.”
Disciples.
It reminded me of the madman that the Mortal Army encountered in the past when it fought its first battle.
“Only the Vice Lord has the authority to deal with major and minor matters within the Ink Dragon Department. “At least not yet.”
“….”
“If it were the Vice Lord, he would have called you before anyone else. That’s why I also blocked the other leaders and brought you in.”
The white paper was certainly not ordinary.
It is not a vessel worthy of being the rout of an organization. However, I thought that there would be no one with as much insight as this person to assist the leader.
“But make no mistake. “My lord, he trusts in you, but not in me.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“Of course it should be so.”
The white paper also nodded.
“Now that you’ve seen the vice-lord, talk to the councilor. If anything is needed, let it be handled under the authority of the head of intelligence, and try to arrange for other lawmakers as well.”
“I will. Before that…”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“Can I take a look at the Vice Lord?”
White Paper’s eyes grew cold.
“Do you know medicine?”
“To some extent.”
“With a certain level of knowledge, I cannot allow you to touch my father’s being.”
“You don’t know again, do you? “With my limited skills, I might be able to catch what the lawmaker doesn’t know.”
“….”
“I understand that you are anxious, but I also came to see you with big dreams. “For my own sake, Vice Lord, you shouldn’t die now.”
It was truly an outspoken statement.
However, that statement actually bought trust in the white paper. This is because the words “not for loyalty but for one’s own sake” surprisingly suited Yeon Ho-jeong.
Baek Seo, who was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, took a step back.
“I will only allow the pulse.”
“Thank you.”
Yeon Ho-jeong carefully rolled up Yang Cheon’s sleeve.
Yang Chen’s hands were full of calluses. The fact that he still has calluses even though he must have peeled off several layers of his strength by reaching the extreme means that he has not neglected his training until now.
Yeon Ho-jeong held Yang Cheon’s pulse.
‘….’
As expected, it’s amazing.
‘The elasticity of the blood vessels and blood vessels is amazing. Although I am weaker than I was in the past.’
An expression of admiration that could not be hidden appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
‘As expected, Tuwang.’
This skill was one of the countless reasons why Seongcheon Thirteen Jwa was called the strongest warrior in martial arts and a monster that no one could compete with.
Not to mention the quantity, the quality of the inner strength itself is on a different level from that of other experts. If the flow of inner energy of a Chojeoljeong master is like a stream, the flow of inner energy of Seongcheon Thirteen Jwa is like a river just before overflowing.
Overflowing with mighty power. Even if the same amount of internal power is released, the speed and destructive power are not even comparable.
‘If it’s enough to disrupt a flow this powerful…’
Yeon Ho-jeong knew. The flow of Yangcheon’s inner strength, which was using airborne techniques, is gradually reaching collapse.
It was an extremely subtle yet large loophole. At first, I was surprised that the person involved did not notice, but I thought that if I thought about it differently, a third party might notice it more easily.
People who walk a familiar path do not consider stones on the side of the road to be important.
‘hmm.’
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at various parts of Yang Cheon’s body, could not hide her inner doubts.
‘First of all, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with the flow itself.’
He looked down at Yang Chen’s chest.
Chest covered by clothing. The white paper said that there was a golden handprint there.
‘Let’s check the subcutaneous nerves in the chest.’
Wooooow.
The verdigris blue dragon flag entered through Yangcheon’s Mac Gate. The mysterious Dongcheon’s true energy rose up Yangcheon’s wrist and glowed softly.
Soon, the true energy passed through my upper arms and instantly penetrated into the skin of my chest.
It was then.
Pajik!
It seemed like a ray of lightning flashed.
grasp!
Yeon Ho-jeong hurriedly took his hand off the door.
White Paper asked in a surprised and embarrassed voice.
“Why are you doing that?”
“….”
“Information Director.”
“…?”
“What do you mean? “Did you find out something?”
Yeon Ho-jeong said nothing. He just looked down at Yang Chen’s chest with infinitely deep and cold eyes.
Baekseo wanted to beat his chest in frustration.
“Look!”
“…the cause.”
“….”
“I couldn’t figure out the cause. However, I felt something unusual about the wound on the Vice Lord’s chest.”
“…?!”
“It is difficult to say for sure. “I need to call the doctor.”
With those words, Yeon Ho-jeong left the Mukryongjeon Hall. For some reason, it seemed like he was in a hurry.
Baek Seo hurriedly tried to catch him, but Yeon Ho Jeong had already left the Mukryongjeon Hall.
‘It was you, after all.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were very bloodshot after leaving Mukryongjeon and returning to his residence.
‘The leader of the Four Eums!’
Yin Hwang Kidney (陰荒神掌).
It was one of the martial arts of the Four Masters, and along with Eumhwangji, it was his favorite technique to use.
Eumhwang’s martial arts was not the strongest martial arts possessed by the Four Masters. Nevertheless, the reason why he enjoyed using the two martial arts was because if he was hit hard by Yin Huang’s martial arts, his heart would inevitably rupture unless he immediately expelled his skills.
Cardiac rupture. This means instant death. There has never been a single person who survived even if their heart veins were torn apart.
No, there was only one person.
Our hotel.
Dang-gwan, who endured to the end even after receiving a fatal wound to the chest from the Sa-eum cult leader, dug a feather needle into his solar plexus.
Tang Gwan is the strongest in the Central Plains when it comes to poison, so there is a possibility that he may have delayed the rupture of his heart vein in some way. Of course, we have to assume that the patient died in the end due to a ruptured cardiac artery.
‘That’s not what’s important now.’
Something bubbled up inside my chest.
But as time passed, I was able to regain my composure. In any case, it is not possible to catch the leader of the Saeum cult by getting angry now.
Yeon Ho-jeong was deep in thought.
‘The important thing is why Yang Chen didn’t die right away.’
I don’t know if history has changed. However, in this period of history, Yangcheon seemed to have fought quite fiercely with the Four Masters.
‘Golden hand seal. It is a representative trace of Yinhuang Kidney. However, it is normal for even the beast person to disappear when he or she dies.’
chuck.
Yeon Ho-jeong stopped in a remote passage, found a shady place, and leaned against the wall.
He crossed his arms and was deep in thought.
‘Other than losing consciousness and collapsing, Yang Chen’s body was completely normal. The flow of the empty air was strange, but there was actually no problem with the danjeon or blood vessels.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
‘It’s the Yinhwang kidney. The beast of Yinhwang Xinjiang was gradually eating away at Yangcheon.’
Not sure if it’s true or not? It doesn’t matter though. Yeon Ho-jeong was convinced that Yang Cheon’s abnormality was due to Yin Hwang Kidney.
The reason is that the basic principle of eumhwang kidney is dark field.
Climbing means penetrating. And while penetrators specialized in causing internal injuries, they did not necessarily kill the opponent.
Depending on the caster’s capabilities, it can kill a person instantly or cause constant internal injuries.
And the Saeum leader that Yeon Ho-jeong knew was a skilled person who could control his career to that extent as naturally as breathing.
‘That’s the way it is in the end. As for the existence of the black sheep, the Lord of the Four Eums did not join hands with Yang Cheon in the first place. He was planning to deceive Yangcheon into becoming his main pitch and then thoroughly use it as a stepping stone to advance into the midfield.’
Actually, that was quite predictable. I just wasn’t sure.
But how should we properly interpret Yang Chen’s fall so quickly? With the skill of the Saeum cult leader, there is no way he could make a mistake, right?
‘Are you sure they’re already trying to get past the midfield?’
If that’s true, then this is not normal.
‘….’
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had been lost in thought for a while, smiled coolly for a moment.
“This is fun.”
Perhaps because so many events occurred at once, even he felt dizzy for a moment.
But when I thought about it carefully, I realized that there was no way to solve all these problems.
“I’m not sure, but Saeumgyo is slowly trying to infiltrate the midfield. Moyonggun is going crazy, and the working group and I must escape safely from the Mukryongbu…”
Yeonhojeong’s eyes glowed with fire.
“Yangcheon, you should be really grateful to me.”
That night.
“senior.”
“Have you arranged for the congressman?”
“exactly. And I came back because I had a problem to discuss.”
“top?”
Yeon Ho-jeong said in a blunt tone.
“The vice-lord decided to meet with the head of the Moyong family. And I expect to hear from the head of the Moyong family within three days.”
White Paper’s eyes deepened.
“But the Vice Lord collapsed.”
“But I can’t just pretend this meeting never happened. The reason is because the Vice Lord proposed a meeting first.”
“…What does the head of intelligence say?”
“exactly.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes flashed wickedly.
“Please attach the leaders and troops. I will go to see Lord Moyong on behalf of the Vice Lord.”
Isn’t life originally one shot?
