Episode 568
Disgrace in Paradise (10)
The execution of the Dark King.
Regardless of the level he achieved as a member of the Seongcheon Thirteenth Place, he was said to be the worst person in the world.
It wasn’t because he had a bad temper. This was because the poison and memorization he dealt with was that dangerous.
Even a person who has studied the Tang Dynasty for just one year can kill hundreds of people with a few handfuls of poison.
The highest point of Tang family martial arts was Tang Hyeong. He was the father of Tang Gwan, the previous head of the family, and Gosu, who was praised as the strongest warrior in the history of the Tang family.
Of course, we cannot dare to guess the level of risk. In other words, if he were determined to do so, it would not take less than a single inch to annihilate a sect.
Kang-ho is a super dangerous person. Although he is an expert from a prestigious family, his strength and viciousness are not well known to the world.
Nevertheless, he is an absolute expert who is considered by everyone in the world to be the most dangerous in the world.
He was the party brother.
“I haven’t actually seen the current situation of the party, but I can infer that it is not very good. “And that’s an extremely high probability.”
“….”
“Have you seen the guys we fought this time? All of them belonged to the Four Rivers and Three Rivers. And they had tons of top-notch assassins.”
“….”
“This is a force that cannot be gathered in just one or two years. In particular, there were some who studied the martial arts of the Three Powers even though they did not belong to the Three Powers. “Every single one of them was worthy of being called a peak expert.”
“….”
“The minimum is ten years. “It means that there was a traitor in all of the strongest, most famous, and most influential sects in Sichuan.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“I don’t know about Cheongseong and Army. But in our family, there is a matriarch and a previous matriarch. “With the abilities of those two, it would have been difficult not to know that something like this was happening.”
“….”
“But there must be a reason why this happened.”
The official, who had been quietly looking down at Yeonhojeong, sat down again.
He called Jeomsoy.
“Do you have any liquid?”
“Yes yes!”
Jeomsoy was very nervous. The atmosphere at the hotel was atmospheric, but he was the one who rented the entire base for two days.
“Bring what you have.”
“yes!”
After a while, Jeomsoi brought ten bottles of Oryang Liquid.
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.
“If you drink all that, your insides will melt.”
“noisy.”
The official filled Yeonhojeong’s cup.
The officer who placed the bottle on the table picked up the empty glass.
“Follow.”
What a consistent person.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and filled the glass in the restaurant.
The party emptied the glass as it was.
“How much do you know about the state of Holy Heaven?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“I only know as much as everyone else knows.”
To be precise, he only knows the level he has achieved.
Yeon Ho-jeong was strong enough to compete for supremacy in the world during the time of the Emperor of Darkness. In addition, there were many people who broke through the limitless realm and gained the power to fall even into the sky, but there were very few people whose fighting power was as high as Yeon Ho-jeong.
Among those few people were Prince Moyong and Danggwan. The strength of the two men was almost similar to that of Yeon Ho-jeong. It was not a matter of level, but of combat power.
That was the martial arts of Yeonhojeong. He was the one who maximized extremely simple fighting power, excluding noble enlightenment or ideals.
But other strong players were different.
Depending on the martial arts skills one has trained in, the martial arts skills one possesses often show completely different aspects depending on the values pursued.
Although the level was similar, the goals were different, and because the goals were different, the combat power was also very different. Although it was an extremely small difference, their martial arts skills were on a completely different level, to the extent that just that slight difference could easily determine victory or defeat.
Nevertheless, despite the clear differences, there were some experts who turned the tide of the war through will alone.
Those who broke through the no-pole border were also not free from the essence of fighting.
The difference between victory and defeat was based on one little thing, and even the slightest difference led to easy wins or despairing defeats.
So, Yeon Ho-jeong knew Seongcheon’s state well, but at the same time, he did not know it well.
Since each person’s pursuit was different, it was only natural. Of course, I clearly knew the common things that those who reached that level shared.
“I don’t know.”
The official held out his glass again.
Yeon Ho-jeong filled his glass.
The official’s face looked somewhat sad as he fiddled with the filled glass.
“I have never reached that level. Of course, I don’t know what that state is like.”
“I guess so.”
“The more you reach a level of advancement in any field of the world, the more difficult it becomes to explain it to others. “Because the meaning becomes ambiguous.”
“I guess so.”
“Beginner and intermediate levels can be defined in words, but the level of progress to advanced level cannot be described in writing. Nevertheless, the fact that there are people who have entered that state probably means that they have realized something beyond what can be expressed in words.”
Yeon Ho-jeong agreed with what the party official said.
People talk about being a master at the peak or reaching the limit, but in reality, the definition of such a state differs from person to person.
Even more so, what would it be like to be in a state of no polarity?
The fact that the contemporary martial arts world can be compared to 300 years ago, when it was at its peak, is because there were thirteen masters in the central plains who had broken through to the limit of zero.
In reality, the level of being considered great even if only one person appears in one generation is unprecedented.
It also needs a name that is easy to call, so it is called the non-polar state, but people who have not climbed it do not know what that state means.
“You just said. I know as much as the rest of the world knows. Wrong. No one in the world knows about martial arts unless they have reached that level.”
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed to himself.
“I guess so.”
Dang-gwan looked down at his glass in silence for a moment and then emptied his glass.
“Not knowing about Mugeuk also corresponds to my perception of the character Danghyeong.”
It was called Tanghyeong.
He was said to be his older brother, not his father or previous head of the family.
The official shook his head.
“I cannot define the King of Cancer.”
“Why is that so?”
Yeon Ho-jeong asked with a serious face.
“But aren’t you rich? “I don’t know what kind of past you have, but you must have built your own relationship, whether it’s affection or conflict, so is it possible for it to be that vague?”
The official held out a glass.
Yeon Ho-jeong filled his glass again.
“My father disapproved of me.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
Dang-gwan emptied his glass and looked out the window.
“My father was a fearsome monarch. “There has probably never been a time as scary and breathtaking as that for any family head in history.”
“….”
“Thanks to you, my family’s notoriety has increased several times. But my father didn’t care about that. That’s because I was obsessed with making my family stronger and greater. And in order to do that, I thought stricter addition methods and thorough organization of financial resources were necessary.”
“….”
“But after breaking through the level of invincibility, my father’s thoughts changed.”
Tang Gwan’s eyes deepened.
“I realized that although the rule of law and the firm management of financial resources may be good for the time being, without even a single needle in between, they will ultimately stain the family’s future with darkness.”
“….”
“Father is also human. “I suddenly realized the reality, but I couldn’t destroy the politics I had put together in an instant.”
“I guess so.”
“And the time has come for me to take over the family.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
Even though I didn’t hear the whole situation, I felt like I knew. What a huge conflict there must have been between father and son.
The official laughed.
“I was young too. At the time, I had quite a young mind. “You did the same, so why did you tell me to refrain from absolute power? I wondered if it was such a shame to pass on the position of head of the family.”
“….”
“There was a high level of participation in the politics of the main family. Although he retired from the front line, the people of the previous generation did some censorship to prevent the mistakes of active duty leaders and teach them.”
“It’s a bad custom.”
“It’s not good. “That is one of the evil practices that occur when the closeness between blood relatives is excessive.”
The official shook his head.
“I fixed that as soon as I became the head of the family. “They completely blocked the political participation of former members who stepped down.”
“The backlash must have been severe.”
“It was severe. And I imprisoned all those who opposed me.”
The official’s eyes sparkled.
“A bad habit is just a bad habit. “Anyone who disobeys the orders of the family head cannot be forgiven, whether they are former or active duty.”
“….”
“As an example, I imprisoned the younger brother of my father, the former leader, and my uncle.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
The official shook his head.
“My father understood me. But understanding and emotion are in different realms.”
“….”
“From then on, my relationship with my father almost broke down.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had been quietly watching the hall, said as if he were saying something.
“It seems that the previous head of the family had special love for his grandson.”
“Even though I hated my children, I didn’t hate everyone in my blood. “After his relationship with me deteriorated, he paid great attention to my children.”
“I see.”
I finally found out. Why is this father and son relationship such a mess?
Was the reason the Tang official disliked Tang Heung simply because they were pressuring him to change his predecessor’s family law?
no. The bond between family members is not so fragile that it can be broken by something like that.
Even before that, the rift between father and son would have deepened. If what the official said was true, Brother Tang would have been very strict with his children.
In the end, this wasn’t a question of who was right and who was wrong. If you do not fundamentally understand each other, your relationship will never be restored.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked cautiously.
“I knew that the relationship between you two was not good. “Then what do you think about the previous head of the family not knowing about this situation?”
“You won’t know.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“How can you be so sure?”
The official closed his eyes.
“Because you imprisoned yourself.”
“Confinement….”
“It must have been his own respect for me. At the same time, it may have been anger towards me. No matter how much I tried to tell him to go away, his brother ended up in prison at the hands of his own son. “There’s no way I’m in a good mood.”
“It’s complicated.”
“Since then, my father has never left the prison.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“I understand everything you said.”
The official laughed.
“There’s really nothing I can’t say to a b*stard like you.”
“It’s good to be able to learn as much as possible about the environment of the operating area before going into operation.”
Yeon Ho-jeong asked after emptying his glass.
“Let me ask you just one question.”
“….”
“If I were to ask you to start by restoring your relationship with the former matriarch, would you refuse?”
The official closed his eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong continued.
“I don’t know the details of the party’s situation yet. But if we assume the worst, we will also use every possible move…”
“I do not reject it.”
“yes?”
“It improves my relationship with my father… not a bad thing.”
“Then…”
“But even if we improve our relationship, I don’t want my father to be involved in this matter.”
“Matriarch.”
“It’s not about my personal pride. That is the life of those who inherited the blood of the Tang family. “You can use any means to sort out your financial resources, but there are also principles that must never be broken.”
The party’s eyes were firm.
“You probably won’t intervene in this situation either. “Unless I die.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed and buried his back in the chair.
“Sometimes it’s hot and sometimes it’s unconventional, but at times it’s extremely frustrating.”
“I have no intention of seeking other people’s understanding.”
“shit.”
Yeon Ho-jeong filled the glass in the restaurant.
“Please order a few dishes.”
“You said you wanted to go in?”
“Do you think you’d like to take a break at this point? Stop being so temperamental and do it right away.”
The official frowned.
“A cheap guy.”
Really, this guy is probably the only person in the entire world who would say something like that to the head of the Tang family.
