Episode 674
Reversal (6)
Poop!
The woman’s trembling body went limp with a terrible sound.
“Hmm.”
The man tilted his head.
“I thought this guy could endure, but was I mistaken?”
The woman’s appearance was terrible. He died with a hole in the center of his chest near his heart, and it felt as if something had come through from inside his body.
The man rubbed his forehead with a drowsy look.
“I’m going to turn away. Even though I tested so many people, not one of them could withstand the true energy. “They say it’s Jungwon, but I never thought the people who live there would be so weak.”
At that time, an elderly man wearing a red robe approached the man.
“Soju (小主).”
“hmm?”
“I received a call from Samho Law again.”
The man, Myeonggeuk, tilted his head.
“What contact?”
“They say they are fleeing with only a small number of troops left behind.”
“…getaway?”
A strange expression appeared on Myeonggeuk’s face.
It was a difficult expression to interpret whether he was laughing or wondering.
“Why did you suffer so much that you ran away? Was it to the point where you couldn’t even keep your seat?”
“I think the first contact was sent quite urgently.”
“Is it different this time?”
“That’s right.”
“Give it to me.”
An elderly person handed a letter to Myeonggeuk.
Myeonggeuk, who received and read the letter, shook his head.
“I thought I had seen some damage, but it wasn’t that bad. “You said you got ripped off?”
“….”
“So to speak, there is an expert over there who is capable of defeating the Three Tigers. “I expected it, though.”
“You could say so.”
“Looking at what’s written, it’s not the eumje…”
“It’s definitely not the eumje. “I can’t do that.”
Grumble!
The letter in Myeonggeuk’s hand turned into ashes and disappeared with a golden flame.
“This means things are getting quite complicated, right? “Enough to send letters like this twice.”
“yes. “It will happen.”
“Then I can’t do this anymore.”
Habok, an elderly man named Hyeolrangdanju (血狼團主), looked around.
The entire area around Myeonggeuk was a sea of blood. A village was completely devastated by the invasion of Myeonggeuk and Hyeolrangdan.
The number of dead people was counted at five hundred thousand. Among them, there were children who lived less than ten years.
Havok asked.
“There wasn’t a single one who could hold out.”
“okay.”
Myeonggeuk frowned.
“Let alone half an angle, he died before he could even count to ten. All of them are extremely weak. “As long as I endured it, I thought I would accept you as a great warrior of evil.”
“….”
“it’s okay. Just in case, I don’t think you should use your hands carelessly. “If we take over the continent, they will pay tribute to us, so we shouldn’t reduce their numbers too much.”
Havok lowered his head.
“Soju will be able to become the next god of the Four Emotions.”
“That’s right.”
Myeonggeuk stood up.
“Have all the members rested?”
“That’s right.”
“I tell you to take care of your physical strength so that you can arrive near Jongnam before the sun sets tomorrow. “We will attack as soon as the sun goes down.”
“yes.”
“Let’s move after this.”
“But soju.”
“Why but?”
“What happened to Samhobeop and Geumyojo who are running away…?”
Myeonggeuk said with a smile.
“If you ever run into one, kill them all. Is there any reason to keep failed idiots alive?”
* * *
“Hoo.”
Paeyul let out a soft exclamation.
“I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s a superb view, but it’s a really nice mountain, isn’t it?”
Jongnam Mountain, green and without a single cloud, was literally like a painting.
Although it was in the same Shaanxi region, it was very different from Huashan. If the volcano felt sharp and resolute, Jongnam felt stable and peaceful.
There were trees everywhere and the air was very good. It was a sight that calmed the viewer’s mind as it was moderately high but somehow not burdensome.
“The mountain is so nice, but the people inside it can be so stubborn.”
The person Paeyul was talking about was Yeo Gwang.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“This is a world where murderers can be found even in the temples. “It’s not where you live that matters, but what you feel and how you learn.”
“No matter how well you learn, there are always vicious ones out there… Huh, looking at things like that, I can understand why the long-time death sentence treated me like something special.”
“Is that so?”
“Have you never been to Changshan Mountain?”
“well.”
“Come and see me later. It looks much better than here. “The weather is a bit damp, though.”
Still, I could feel the pride in his voice that he was the origin of fortune telling.
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed and tapped the ground with his foot.
“Let’s go now. Even if there are no long writers, there will be adults.”
“Is it okay? “What if everyone is like that old man?”
“Then we have to beat them up and force them to reorganize their battle lines. “Do you really want to just suffer?”
“A risk! Are you really going to do that?”
“That’s what it says. Let’s go.”
Paaaaang!
The two people’s journey to climb the mountain was fast and fast.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Paeyul.
“senior.”
“why?”
“Have you had any recent achievements? “I can move better than before.”
Paeyul grumbled.
“It’s a shame that I heard something like that from someone so junior.”
“You really had an achievement?”
“I have never studied divine law separately. “I just incorporated the enlightenment I gained while practicing Guanyi Gong into my divine law.”
“You are amazing.”
“If you say something like this is amazing, how should I describe your current state?”
“That is that and this is this.”
“done. “If we have time later, let’s have a fight with a knife.”
“If you’re okay.”
“why? “Are you afraid of dying?”
“Well… it would be dangerous.”
Paeyul’s eyes deepened.
“Do you think it will be very dangerous?”
“The troops that had suffered losses were withdrawn and new troops were brought in. “Even if we can’t do it, it will be at a level equivalent to or higher than the existing military force.”
“hmm.”
“In other words, among the new people who come to attack Jongnam, there will be some who are similar to or stronger than me.”
Paeyul’s face was tense.
If a master is stronger than the current Yeonhojeong, it can be said that he is Seongcheon-level.
“Wouldn’t it be better to call senior Eumje right now?”
“Even if you call, they won’t come and it will be hard to find them in the first place.”
“If he’s stronger than you, he’s at Seongcheon level, right?”
“That’s not true.”
“What are you saying?”
Yeon Ho-jeong said calmly.
“I didn’t know before…”
Yeon Ho-jeong cleared his throat as he spoke. Without realizing it, I almost talked about my time as Emperor of Darkness.
It meant that he was comfortable with the loss rate, which came out unconsciously.
“I didn’t know before because I was caught up in life, but this time I knew for sure. “The difference between someone who has entered martial arts and a saint is so great that it cannot be described.”
“When did you say there were only a few pieces of paper?”
“It is higher than Mount Tai and as wide as the land mass of the continent.”
“Words really go back and forth?”
“I’m just saying that’s how I feel. Look at Senior Eumje right now. “I was so desperate for life that I almost became a madman, but you saved me with just the sound of a flute.”
“Hmm….”
“It’s not just about being strong in martial arts. “The levels achieved are different and the depth of enlightenment is different.”
“Was it that bad?”
“As long as it is a momentary realization, it is open to me as well. However, the difference is whether you ignore that realization and only increase your martial arts output, or whether you acquire everything with enlightenment, even if progress is slow.”
Paeyul tilted his head.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about. Isn’t it the same thing in the end? “Only when you gain enlightenment will your power become stronger.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“It’s hard for me to explain. What is certain is that, looking at the martial arts skills of the guy who fought me, the Three Schools did not dispatch a Seongcheon-level strongman to the midfield. “It’s not like that was the case in the first place.”
“why?”
“If the midfielder Seongcheon steps forward, we have to leave behind experts who will be his opponents.”
“…!”
“Of course, this is just my guess. “There may be other reasons.”
“Nothing is certain… It’s really hard.”
“Don’t worry too much. Regardless of their power, they will be able to deal with them somehow, as long as there are not more than one strong person like them.”
“You’re not completely normal yet. “Are you confident?”
“When was the last time you fought without taking any losses?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“At least it will be possible to hold it until the battle is over.”
If you’re that confident, there’s probably a good reason.
‘I’ll figure it out.’
Paeyul, who was shaking his head, suddenly looked at Yeonhojeong.
Yeonhojeong runs at high speed. Their eyes were full of stubbornness.
I felt the defeat rate again.
‘He’s a great guy.’
I felt that way in the past and I still feel that way now. We will probably be even more surprised in the future.
If it weren’t for this guy, all the demonic missions that the three schools have undertaken so far would have been successful. If that were the case, the midfielder would have collapsed, even if not immediately, in the future without even having a proper fight.
‘People won’t know. ‘How much they owe this guy.’
Paeyul, who had been quietly looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, turned his gaze straight ahead again.
‘I’ve changed a lot because of this guy.’
If it were his original personality, he wouldn’t have worried about this or that, and he wouldn’t have moved directly unless it was a battlefield.
But what about now? He was naturally listening to Yeon Ho-jeong’s request, which was not a request.
Because it had to be that way. This was because the damage to Jungwon Moorim could be minimized.
Such preparation and cooperation were already taken for granted.
And Paeyul didn’t hate himself that much.
“thanks.”
“yes?”
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“What?”
“Okay, let’s run. not much left.”
Paaaaang!
The loss rate picked up speed. Before I knew it, he was running faster than Yeonhojeong and was far ahead of him.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“You look strangely shy?”
After half an examination.
The two arrived in Jongnam.
“What?”
Astonishment appeared on Hong Jeok’s face.
“Did you say Jongnam is the target now?”
“That’s right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked around.
Peaceful Jongnam Mountain. However, unlike before, countless conduits were visible, and the roads connecting them were luxuriously decorated.
It looks like a worldly sect, not a sect that teaches swords and swords. Such a splendid appearance seemed to fade the air of Mt. Jongnam.
However, Yeon Ho-jeong did not show such a sign.
“Where is Elder Yeogwang?”
“…You haven’t come yet. “And the prosecutors under my command.”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
‘I should have come sooner and discussed it with the elders.’
This behavior is incomprehensible. Rather, he was worried that he might not be able to properly persuade him because of Yeogwang’s presence here.
Whatever it was, I had to do what I had to do now.
“Elder Jeonjeondae of Hwasan, Hwaseomja, has left to request troops from Hwasan. “I don’t know when, but the enemy will attack in the near future.”
“…!!”
“Please reorganize your battle lines. “It would be a good idea to dismiss all young Taoists who have not learned martial arts.”
“That’s right…!”
The moment Hongjeok was about to speak, he gritted his teeth.
“Previously.”
“…?”
“Is what you say true?”
“yes?”
“I asked if it was true. You didn’t tell us what your mission was when we blocked our way. “It means we don’t know much about each other.”
Paeyul took a step forward. Out of frustration, I was planning to at least curse him.
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong stopped Paeyul with his hand.
“I understand. “I don’t know Jong-nam, and Jong-nam doesn’t know us.”
“That’s right.”
“However, you probably know that we are people who operate under the permission of the Murim Alliance and the Mukryongbu.”
“….”
“Surely we will harm Jongnam? Even if you had the intention, would you use something like telling them to reorganize their battle lines because the enemy is attacking?”
Hongjeok’s face turned red. Yeon Ho-jeong’s words made sense.
“If Jongnam falls, and in the unlikely event that enemies attack Shaanseo, Hwasan alone will have to deal with them. “Both factions are important to the midfielder.”
“….”
“One o’clock is urgent. Please prepare quickly. “I have contacted various places to help Jongnam, but I don’t know how many allies will come in time.”
Hongjeok gritted his teeth.
“I understand. Just wait a moment. “I will also tell this to the elders.”
“All right.”
Hong Red moved quickly.
When he disappeared from sight, Paeyul became angry.
“Damn it! Even though I came to protect you, are you still like me? “I would rather tell you to handle it alone!”
“Be patient.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
His fists covered by his sleeves turned white.
“We have to be patient. Our enemy is not Jongnam.”
At least not yet.
