succeed (5)
The two people who were having a long conversation were about to enter the Mukryongbu.
“… … ?!”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes changed.
Ugh! Ugh!
The black and white twin dragon parts on his waist gave off a ferocious vibration. The Gwangryongbu held in his hand was just quiet.
The wolves howl, and the tiger lives quietly. Yeonhojeong’s prayers quickly turned into a battle stance.
“Master.”
“… … .”
“What is it, the guy in there?”
Yang Chen said in a calm voice.
“He is the leader of the Shinhwa cult.”
“… … !!”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes wavered.
“Did you hear what happened in the imperial palace?”
“A little bit.”
“Okay, I guess I should tell you about that too.”
Yang Cheon explained in detail what incident occurred in the imperial palace and what had happened so far.
Yeon Ho-jeong was silent.
Shinhwa cult leader Ki Cheon-woong.
He is a person I have never met. In this life and in the life before returning.
However, I recognized it as an enemy that I would have to fight someday. That’s not all. The Gwanghyeol cult leader was like that too.
However, one of them appeared here along with Yang Cheon.
It was truly an unexpected appearance. After his return, he experienced many surprising things, but this was the first time such an unexpected incident occurred.
“In other words, the author decided to fight the war against the three religions with us. Of course, I will be in charge of the Shinhwa religion among the three religions. “Because he is a person with personal revenge and goals.”
“… … “Is there any possibility that it is Sejak?”
“I can’t say there is nothing at all. “Isn’t it true that people only know themselves?”
Rather, when I heard that, I thought that there was almost no chance that Ki Cheon-woong was Sejak.
If you think about it, my father was there, and even Gwonsin and Geomseon were there.
Even the Three Four Kings of the Four Eumsects would not dare to hide their true feelings in front of these three people. In particular, the father’s mind and sword exert absolute influence on the minds of others.
If Ki Cheon-woong had evil intentions, his father would have drawn the sword first.
“Would you like to meet sometime?”
“… … yes.”
Slurp.
The burning prayers quieted down.
Yeon Ho-jeong said, his eyes brightening.
“I think it definitely has to be that way.”
* * *
A forest not far from Mukryongbu.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had planted his light dragon on the ground and was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed, felt a ray of hot energy approaching him.
Slurp.
The hair twitched uncontrollably.
Hwangryonggi woke up on its own, spreading energy throughout his body.
It wasn’t because I thought of the other person as an enemy. Hwang Ryong-gi’s reaction was in line with Yeon Ho-jeong’s habit of naturally preparing for the appearance of a powerful person with overwhelming power.
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes.
At that moment, he was already three feet away.
Golden hair, white skin, tall stature.
Even though I walked barefoot, there wasn’t a single speck of dirt on me. The mysterious prayer emanating from all over was truly overwhelming.
Yeon Ho-jeong uncrossed his arms and stood upright.
“That’s amazing.”
Admiration appeared on Ki Cheon-woong’s face.
“Are you Yeon Ho-jeong?”
“… … exactly.”
I almost said informally without even realizing it.
There was no reflexive hatred or hatred that flowed out when dealing with the three religions. But he is a person who has lived like that his whole life. Even though I was good at controlling myself, it was difficult to control my habits.
Yeon Ho-jeong suppressed that habit and treated the other person as a person, not a religious leader.
Gi Cheon-woong asked, looking at Yeon Ho-jeong’s face with a mysterious expression.
“How old are you?”
“I’m still in my thirties.”
“Thirty years ago… … .”
Gi Cheon-woong let out a sigh.
“The continent gave birth to a monster. There is no one at this school or the other two schools who has achieved this level at your age. No, I doubt whether it exists throughout the history of the Three Religions.”
“… … .”
“I heard that he was born with a gift for military strategy with a vision and sense that reached the level of a god. He has a talent for military strategy recognized by everyone and a martial arts skill that is said to be the best in the world in his twenties. “It’s such a monster that even the expression ‘monster’ is awkward.”
“… … .”
“I always thought that my son and the new leader of the bright-blooded cult were competing for the greatest talent in the world. But it wasn’t. “The talent of those two people is as different from that of a genius or a genius compared to yours.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
The words “don’t talk nonsense” almost came out.
Yeon Ho-jeong controlled himself once again. As I raised the yellow dragon flag and wrapped it around the middle battle, I felt the remaining hatred and fear slowly disappearing.
Ki Cheon-woong’s eyes sparkled.
Since he was controlling the upper level battle with the martial arts that Takmuja had taught him, he was able to see how the opponent’s energy was moving in a subtle way, unlike before the upper level war collapsed.
‘You are controlling your mind.’
Gi Cheon-woong’s eyes wavered.
‘But that Jinki… … ?’
I didn’t know why, but it was something that bothered me.
It was a power that had many temperaments, not just one. However, it wasn’t messy. Rather, it was an extremely mysterious and sacred energy.
‘That’s incredible martial arts.’
I realized that it was not just a level of martial arts, but that the depth of the inner skills themselves was amazing.
‘A martial arts expert who is the best in the world, a talent that only appears once in a thousand years, and not only a god-like tactical plan, but also a strong heart.’
The only thing that comes to mind is that it’s dazzling.
Gi Cheon-woong sighed.
“Even after ten or even five years, there will be no expert in the world who can rival you.”
“… … .”
“I heard you wanted to see me. But I missed you too. “I was curious about how this monster came to be and did such amazing things.”
Ki Cheon-woong laughed bitterly.
“It’s definitely worth it.”
“I want to ask you something.”
“something?”
Ki Cheon-woong’s face did not show a single bad intention as he spoke in a snap. Rather, he gave off the air of an old wise man who had put aside many things in life.
‘It’s different.’
Yeon Ho-jeong had no choice but to admit that there was a difference like heaven and earth between the Shinhwa cult leader he imagined and the actual Shinhwa cult leader. He would never have believed it if he hadn’t seen it for himself.
‘I too have prejudices. The prejudice is that they are absolutely evil.’
You don’t fight because your opponent is evil. They fight because of differences in their values.
However, to Yeon Ho-jeong, all the members of the three religions were evil. It had to be evil.
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“Sangdanjeon, is it because of Sujiaoju?”
“I think Vice President Yang explained it to some extent.”
“I listened closely. But you don’t know what you don’t know.”
“It’s my fault. It’s my fault for raising my son like that. “I think at least half of it is my fault.”
“… … .”
“The other half will be from the Saeum sect.”
Yeonhojeong’s eyes sparkled with fire.
“I heard that the Saeum cult leader is using the Sogeum cult leader.”
“That’s right.”
“So he also reached out to Gwanghyeol?”
“I don’t know exactly. But I see it that way. Of course, it couldn’t have extended deep.”
“Right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed again.
“I guess he taught the upper class martial arts to Takmuja Noh Seon-bae.”
“Because it’s a bomb that might explode at any moment. “If I touch more than half of my original skills, that will be the day my martial arts skills are lost.”
“… … .”
“Well, it’s okay now. “It’s not at full power, but you can use martial arts as long as you don’t overdo it.”
Tak Mu-ja also taught the martial arts to Ki Woo-hee.
In other words, Tak Mu-ja also does not think that Ki Cheon-woong betrayed or harbored bad intentions.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked in a calm voice.
“Can you fight properly?”
Gi Cheon-woong answered honestly.
“If you are talking about mythology, I would say no. I have no intention of destroying the myth. I just want to purify. Of course, there will inevitably come a moment when we have to fight, but it will not lead to the destruction of the myth.”
“… … .”
“but… … “My son is different.”
Ki Cheonwoong’s eyes grew cold.
Although he possessed the hottest and fiercest energy in the world, his eyes were so cold that even the ice of the far-off North Sea could not compare.
“I will kill my son. “He was mastering martial arts for that one chance.”
“Right.”
“Was that something you were worried about?”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly watching Ki Cheon-woong, pulled out the Gwangryongbu and turned around.
“I just wanted to see you. “I imagined people I would one day meet as enemy commanders and risk their lives fighting, and one of them was you.”
“I see.”
“Whatever the reason, we have joined hands, so let’s not fight and do our best. “I just wanted to say that.”
Ki Cheon-woong smiled.
The enemy I once hated became my ally. Nevertheless, it is not easy to show such a reaction without showing any signs of survival.
‘He’s such a simple guy.’
Although it was my first time seeing it, I somehow felt trustworthy because it was reliable.
Gi Cheon-woong asked as he watched Yeon Ho-jeong slowly walking away.
“Is this the end?”
Yeon Ho-jeong stopped walking.
He said without turning around.
“It’s over. “You will always be given it, but for now, you can go with peace of mind.”
“It’s light.”
“… … ?”
“I think you are overconfident in your own eyes. Of course, it’s true that you are a great person in my opinion, but a person’s heart is not something that can be changed that easily.”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his back and looked at Ki Cheon-woong.
Gi Cheon-woong said with a smile.
“If you really want to get to know each other, there’s only one way.”
“Are you okay?”
“Thanks to old man Geomseon, I’m okay. “It may not be possible to compete at full strength, but it is possible for us to get along enough to recognize each other.”
It’s true, it won’t be easy for a decent non-geuksu to deal with Ki Cheon-woong’s skills, even though he hasn’t given his all.
It was like that when he immediately appeared at the imperial palace. As Gok-gyeong watched Ki Cheon-woong’s martial arts skills, he thought that although he could be his opponent, it would be difficult for him to win.
Ki Cheon-woong was such a powerful opponent.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at him, placed the Gwangryongbu on his shoulder.
Whoa!
Golden energy flowed from his body like smoke.
“It is a time when all the remnants of hatred have not disappeared. “Keep in mind that your hands may be a bit rough.”
“I don’t have any feelings for you, so I won’t use weed or anything like that. Just be careful. “Fire can set an entire mountain on fire even if it is not intended.”
“I feel relieved.”
“The more I look at it, the more it looks good.”
“I will go first.”
Faaagh!
Yeonhojeong rushed forward and swung the Gwangryongbu. Gicheon Woong lowered his posture and lit up a blue flame.
Although they were of different races and had different purposes, the two were warriors.
Muin proves himself by studying what he is most confident in.
So the two began to get to know each other little by little.
* * *
“Are you moving if you do that?”
“That’s right. Of course, I don’t have time, so I don’t think I can follow along. “I think I should go and take a look before this week and then go to the Murim Alliance.”
“Are you talking about the Murim Alliance?”
“okay. Because Gok-gyeong will be waiting there. “By now, he’s probably getting angry and asking if he’s still not coming.”
White Paper bowed his head.
“My lord.”
“hmm?”
“Do you really have no regrets?”
Yang Chen chuckled.
“This guy. “Why would I do something I will regret when I get older?”
“… … .”
“It would be a lie if I said I didn’t have any regrets, but I don’t regret it. Besides, he understands the black path better than me, in a way. “I’m sure he’ll do well.”
“All right.”
“You’re pretty sad too, aren’t you?”
White Paper raised his head.
There was a smile on his face, which usually showed little change in expression.
“I serve my lord, not the master of the Inkryongbu.”
“Hehehe.”
“Rather, if you give up your position as deputy head, I will feel much more comfortable.”
“We’re growing old together, so it’s okay for us to be more comfortable in the future.”
“I will do so.”
“This person has been waiting for a long time?”
Yang Cheon burst out laughing.
White Paper smiled and took out a letter from his arms.
“But I think the Vice Lord will have to take care of this.”
“hmm? “What is that?”
“This is a letter from the swordsmen of Yeonsim, Jeongan, and Botaam.”
Yang Chen’s eyes sparkled.
“It’s called Botaam… … “Well, I guess I’ll have to clean up the poop I made.”
