Episode 591
The one who sank in the darkness (2)
Old man Danghyeong looked at Yeonhojeong with indifferent eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke without avoiding Dang Hyeong’s gaze.
“Just in case, you should guard this place outside the cave.”
“Sure.”
Hwang Seok-tae gave his hand to Tang Hyeong.
Even though we did not know each other in person, it was necessary to show respect to a top-ranking expert. An expert in Seongcheon was worthy of respect regardless of ideology.
And just like that, Hwang Seok-tae left.
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“I was being rude.”
“….”
“But I have no intention of asking for forgiveness. “If that were the case, I wouldn’t have even come here.”
That was correct.
Brother Tang still didn’t say anything. He closed his mouth and looked at Yeon Ho-jeong, but it was difficult to read the emotions or thoughts in Tang Hyung’s eyes.
‘It’s transparent.’
It was so transparent that it was like looking at a glassware without any blemishes.
That’s why it’s surprising, and that’s why it feels dangerous. I don’t know if he was completely capable of controlling himself or if he truly had no emotions, but at least he wasn’t someone I could handle right now.
How much time has passed?
“A person from the Murim Alliance?”
“That’s right.”
The voice was a little quiet.
From Yeonhojeong’s perspective, it could be said to have been somewhat unexpected. This was because I imagined a person who was much sharper and much more dignified than this.
The reality was different. Aside from the look in his eyes, Tang Hyung had an appearance and atmosphere that would not be strange even if he were from any other rural area.
Brother Dang asked.
“How did you get here?”
“I walked in.”
Tang Hyung’s eyebrows moved slightly.
You walked in? The answer was shocking. Brother Tang had never seen anyone say something like that so confidently in front of him.
“My legs are fine, so I must have walked.”
It was a word that evoked a subtle eerie feeling.
The words were ordinary, but the person who said them was Danghyung. It was a very strange tone that sounded like he was going to cut off his leg right now.
Danghyeong, who had been looking at Yeonhojeong for a while, soon looked around.
“Is this commotion your fault?”
“That’s right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong did not say the reason for Katabuta.
Tang Hyeong’s eyes deepened.
“I see.”
“….”
“It’s been a long time since I stopped caring about the world, but I want to solve this one question.”
“Please speak.”
“Did no one stop you while you were coming in here? “I don’t think they would have defeated them all.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“There was none. “Except for a few dokjins.”
The reason why Yeon Ho-jeong and Hwang Seok-tae were able to easily infiltrate this place was not as important as one might think.
In the first place, the place where Tang Hyung stayed was at the northeastern end of Tang Street. This means that it is a place far away from where the family’s troops are concentrated.
Of course, there were no warriors guarding this place. The reason is that it was impolite to invite warriors to guard the place as it was a place where Brother Tang himself had imprisoned himself.
Firstly, Paeyul attracted attention, and secondly, Moyonggun infiltrated and caused confusion in the outer circle.
In addition, now that Tang Gwan had a strong influence in Noksuzuru, Yeon Ho-jeong and Hwang Seok-tae were able to infiltrate here very easily.
Although there were poisonous silts surrounded here and there, they were easily dismantled with the power of Yeonhojeong.
“You are telling the truth.”
Tang Hyung nodded.
“It’s exactly the same feeling I had. “I already know what path you took and how you got here.”
I thought so.
I thought about it, but I was once again amazed at its amazing ability. Tang Hyung would have been sitting here and looking clearly into the interior of this spacious party house.
He wouldn’t have been able to eavesdrop on people’s conversations. However, it is quite possible to hear shouts or read the atmosphere.
‘Perhaps you will even be able to know what is happening in Dangata beyond Danga.’
Of course, you have to be determined and expand your spirit.
It was hard to think that the current Danghyung, who seemed helpless at first glance, would have been intentionally expanding his energy.
‘Whatever.’
Wooooow.
Even though I wasn’t concentrating, the Yeongasindan slowly began to rotate.
The body tensed first. Although his mind was fine, his body was preparing itself for the unknown atmosphere created by Tang Hyeong.
Blue energy formed in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.
‘He is truly unique.’
King of Cancer, Tanghyeong.
He is the greatest master in history born of the Tang family, the most prestigious family in Sacheon, and a rare warrior who created the peak of the Tang family.
Before the Tang Dynasty, the martial arts believed that the Tang family was dangerous, but they often evaluated it as a lower power than other factions.
It was entirely due to the unique pride of the Jungwon martial arts people who were reluctant to use poison and memorize. Although poison and memorization were elevated to the realm of art, the general view was that it did not work for masters who had elevated orthodox martial arts to the realm of advancement.
They were evaluated as such even though they were a family that had prevented foreign invasions in Sacheon for hundreds of years. That’s how harsh and conservative the world was.
The person who completely overturned that conservative evaluation was Brother Dang.
He defeated countless masters with just a dagger and not even a handful of poisonous swords.
Just one dagger. With that short sword, he cut off the sword of a kendo expert, blew off the arm of a strong swordsman, and ended the fight by driving a dagger into the forehead of a martial arts expert without even hitting him.
In the process, I never used poison or terrible memorization.
So, before receiving the title of King of Cancer, his nickname was Dokbi Sasin (獨匕死神). It was a special title given to him because he showed moves like a god of death with a single dagger.
An invincible expert who rose to the ranks of the world’s strongest without poison or promiscuous memorization.
Yeon Ho-jeong was inwardly surprised by the empty atmosphere created by the giant in the area.
‘Among the masters in that realm, I have never seen anyone radiate such empty energy.’
It’s a vain thing to say, but it’s just the height of vainness.
The emptiness was so excessive that it seemed as if we had become one with nature.
‘It doesn’t seem like he doesn’t have the will to live, but…’
However, he isn’t the type of person to pay attention to those around him either. I’m not pretending like that, it’s actually like that.
“Are we finished?”
“…?”
“I asked if you were done looking at me.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes wavered.
Brother Dang waved his hand.
“I am a person who has no interest in the world outside this realm. Since you are a member of the Murim Alliance, I will forgive the rudeness of coming in without permission.”
“….”
“Just leave now. “I’m tired.”
It was a calm congratulatory message.
I knew it would be difficult, but I had no idea that the conversation wouldn’t even start.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Dang Hyung, soon smiled.
“After all, the world is wide.”
“….”
“Honestly, I never imagined that I would be treated like this.”
“How unhappy would it be if the world were where everything went as you wished? “Let’s go now.”
It does not say whether you will be happy, but whether you will be unhappy.
It’s hard because it’s a world where things don’t go your way, but that’s what makes life fun. If everything could be predicted and everything could be controlled, there would be no less interesting world.
Yeon Ho-jeong was able to get a glimpse of Tang Hyeong’s thoughts from those words.
A son who doesn’t get his way, a family who doesn’t get what he wants.
But it’s not unfortunate. Because the world knew that it was like that.
Tang Hyung was implicitly telling Yeon Ho-jeong that he was not unhappy.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“Since you have been so rude, how about a little more patience?”
“Let me go.”
“I think it would be more desirable to correct what is wrong than to ignore the reality that children are fighting and shedding blood.”
Tang Hyung looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
Ssssssssssssssssssss.
Even though there was no wind, Yeon Ho-jeong’s hair shook slightly.
Tang Hyung’s eyes remained the same, but the atmosphere changed. very little.
Just that little change makes my hair stand on end. Not a metaphor, really.
‘also.’
There was a lot of talk about this and that, but this person is, of course, the Tang clan.
‘This person is dangerous.’
He is a person with dangerous martial arts skills.
It’s been a long time since anyone became nervous because their skills, not their thoughts or emotions, were at stake.
Danghyung said.
“It seems like he knows the details of his family’s affairs.”
“That’s right.”
“If you know about the original family, you would also know this. The main family is not a family that is influenced by the evaluation of outsiders. There is no need for that and it shouldn’t be done.”
“….”
“Whether I fight or bleed, I have already stepped down from my position as the head of the family. “What happens in the future is none of my business.”
For a moment, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes flashed.
“You’re lying.”
“….”
“I was sincere up until now, but what I just said is clearly a lie.”
“How do you know that?”
“Because I can feel it.”
“That’s bullshit. Even if it’s false, that’s no reason to match your tune. Say it again. Let’s go…”
“Why did you teach?”
“…?”
“Why did you teach your son martial arts? Why did you watch your grandchildren’s martial arts skills? “Did you just teach me because you thought it was the right thing to do as an adult in the family?”
“….”
“No. That can’t be possible. “The reason I give generous lessons to my children and descendants is because I want them to live safely and wonderfully in a better world.”
“….”
“And now, Mr. Noh’s wish has been broken.”
hook!
A faint heat leaked out from Yeon Ho-jeong’s body.
As cardiac output increased, Zhou Zakqi raised his head. As the blood flow increased, Yeonhojeong’s momentum became sharper and stronger.
“If the family rules and customs are like that, there is nothing we can do. However, no law can take priority over the collapse of my people, my family, and my world.”
“He is a cocky young man. “I never thought I would learn about the family’s laws from a young man who is not even from the Tang family.”
“Even more so if the reason for the collapse is not just a simple prankster, but the tricks of an external force.”
“…!”
It was my first time.
For the first time, Tang Hyeong’s eyes suddenly changed.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice gained strength.
“great. Family law and family rules. “It’s all good.”
“….”
“However, if you know human duties, you will have to take responsibility as the person who gave birth to the monster, not as a member of the family.”
“…monster? responsibility?”
“You are an incompetent monster. However, thanks to external forces, the monster created a strange organization called Paradise Area throughout Sichuan. “It is a place where civilians are kidnapped and the desires of powerful people are channeled.”
“…!!”
Danghyeong’s cheeks trembled slightly.
“He is an incompetent person who cannot achieve anything properly on his own. But the moment that incompetent man’s desire came true, he became a monster.”
“…That can’t be possible.”
“Do you think so?”
“There is no way Gwani would commit such an outrageous act.”
“you’re right. Tang Gaju is not that kind of person. “This was done by a brother who wanted the position of leader of the party.”
For a moment, Tang Hyeong remembered Tang Ho’s face.
The face of the second child who bowed and said he would bring alcohol and meat and visit again.
Yeon Ho-jeong continued speaking in a cold voice.
“As a parent, this is an opportunity to correct your child who has gone astray. This will be your last chance to save the lives of other innocent children as well.”
“….”
“Now take responsibility.”
