Episode 256
Time of the East Wind (6)
“Brother.”
“It’s been a while.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes widened as he looked at Mo Yong-woo with a smile.
“At my Feng Gong meeting, I heard that you broke through the barrier of infinite sect. To be honest, it was a long time, but you really broke through the barrier of no end!”
Mo Yong-woo bowed his head.
“It’s all thanks to you, brother. “If it weren’t for Geogun Muhae, how would I have been able to break through the barrier of infinite origin?”
“You b*stard, if the barrier to martial arts was only a level that could be overcome depending on the level of martial arts, there would be a lot of transcendent masters in the world.”
Prince Moyong was truly satisfied.
“It’s great. What a hindrance. I had to believe in you, but I didn’t know it would develop so quickly. “You are truly my younger brother.”
There is a big difference between what you hear and know and what you see and feel.
Moyong kept bursting into laughter. He is truly happy with Mo Yong-woo’s growth.
Looking at Mo Yong-gun like that, Mo Yong-woo felt indescribable confusion.
‘older brother.’
There is no reason for Yeon Ho-jeong to lie to himself. If you tell lies that will be discovered anyway, you will only lose trust.
If so, it means that you really drove an innocent person to death.
‘Where on earth are you planning to go?’
Among high-ranking figures in Moorim, Moyonggun is the only one who killed innocent people for his own benefit.
Prince Moyong was a cold-blooded man who even abandoned his blood-sharing brothers for the sake of power. He, the youngest, was close to being exiled to the Zhejiang branch, but the rest of his brothers either died or suffered miserable fate.
Mr. Moyong is that kind of person. Mo Yong-wu also knew this, so he planned to drive out Mo Yong-gun and lead the Mo Yong family to a righteous family.
But… I never thought they would do something like that again.
‘I was too complacent.’
Mo Yong-woo smiled bitterly.
‘I was so caught up in the brotherly love I had never enjoyed before that I couldn’t see what I should have seen clearly.’
There is no need to blame Moyong-gun again. Because I knew from the beginning that my brother was that kind of person.
‘Now I’ll do it right, brother.’
Mo Yong-woo’s eyes were full of bitterness, and the pulpit was young.
‘I, too, am ready to enter this muddy fight without hesitation.’
Then Moyong asked.
“hmm? But for some reason, your expression doesn’t look good. “Is it hurting somewhere?”
His brother’s face looking at him with worried eyes.
He is a person who uses any means and methods to achieve a goal and thinks that even ethics and morals are worthless, but he is a person who is willing to give his liver and gallbladder to his own person.
Mo Yong-woo lowered his head. I couldn’t bear to look at my brother directly.
“no. “I am finally relieved that my brother has returned safely.”
“ha ha ha! “You b*stard, but Brother Woo is not an easy person to let you get into trouble easily.”
Even though he said that, Mo Yong’s face was full of satisfaction.
Although the daughter was ruined by meeting her younger brother, this blunt younger brother became her own person.
It was a situation where he even sacrificed his daughter to make a deal with Yang Cheon. There were many people who held hands with him, but how many people truly care about him like this?
So it was more precious.
And I became more nervous.
‘How can I not understand your genuine concern? However, my animal nature, which does not even trust my flesh and blood, does not allow me to purely see your true feelings.’
Mo Yong-Woo will not betray himself. As always, I will truly believe in you and follow you.
Still, I don’t let down my guard.
Even more terrifying than the attack of the Holy Heavenly Thirteenth Place is the betrayal of someone you trust. As Mo Yong-gun’s trust in Mo Yong-woo deepened, he also tightened his tension towards him.
“By the way, my younger brother has broken through the barrier of martial arts and has become a rare master, so why not use it if there is no toast? Let’s have a drink for the first time in a while.”
“You must be tired from the journey…”
“Hehe, no matter how tired I am, can I just pass up this moment of vivid joy? “Is there something else going on?”
“…no.”
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
That confident smile was solidified by sincere affection for his brother and determination for the greater good.
“Rather, I wanted to ask for a drink first.”
“ha ha ha! good night! “Let’s have a drink!”
After a while, the two people sat down across from each other at the drinking table.
Mo Yong-gun said as he filled Mo Yong-woo’s cup.
“I didn’t know the details, but after listening to what my people had to say, my opinion of Hugi Jisoo has completely changed.”
“What do you mean?”
“After the Grand Duke of the Ming Dynasty was imprisoned, the highest martial arts figure was reduced to the One Dragon and Three Peaks. In other words, the four young men and women were recognized as the best young people who will lead the next generation of Moorim.”
Mo Yong-woo said calmly.
“There is nonsense in that statement. “Isn’t there a commander of the Mortal Army who was the youngest person of his time to break through the barrier of martial arts?”
Mo Yong nodded his head.
“There is a Byeoksanho commander, Yeonhojeong, the commander of the Mortal Army. However, people are shocked by Yeon Ho-jeong’s existence and are wary of him. “A person who excels so much that he or she deviates from the standards is bound to receive jealousy rather than praise.”
“Of course.”
I had already experienced it myself. Mo Yong-woo filed a complaint.
Prince Moyong continued speaking in a cheerful tone.
“But a similar off-the-shelf genius once again shook the martial arts world. “That is you.”
“Actually, it is not something that can be compared to Commander Yeon. The age difference between me and Commander Yeon….”
“The important thing is that you and Yeon Ho-jeong are still bound to the frame of later Jisoo.”
There was a subtle look of anticipation on Prince Moyong’s face.
“When a genius who transcends common sense is born, people are bound to be wary and jealous. But when that genius becomes plural, the world will finally recognize it.”
“okay.”
“Hosin ssangwi (虎神雙位).”
“yes?”
“Mo Yong-wu, the commander of the Tangma Army, is called Commander Geongon (乾坤虎將) and is the strongest swordsman (劍士) in the later period of his time, and Yeon Ho-jeong, the commander of the Murisa army, is called General Byeoksanho (碧山虎將) and is the strongest warrior (warrior) of the later period of his time. “It is said.”
“Have you already got that nickname?”
“It’s a rumor going around within the Murim Alliance. “Such rumors have begun to spread among the members, so sooner or later that great reputation will spread throughout the world.”
Moyong-gun burst out in laughter again.
“Although it is not right for Yeon Ho-jeong to stand with you in such a high position, how can you not be happy that you have become the best in martial arts?”
Mo Yong-woo, head of Geongonho.
And Yeonhojeong, Byeoksanhojang.
The two captains of the Murim League’s first military unit came to be called the best late-day leaders of the Gangho. Mo Yong-woo felt somewhat dizzy.
“It’s so grand. “My martial arts skills are still inferior to Commander Yeon’s.”
“know. Yeon Ho-jeong I know best how excellent his martial arts skills are. However, since your talent and effort are so outstanding, you will soon be able to gain strength that rivals Yeonhojeong.”
“…That’s how it should be.”
“Also, people tend to see only what they want to see. Although your martial arts skills are a level below Yeon Ho-jeong’s, you are already at the same level. In the end, people will see you two as equals.”
Mo Yong-woo shook his head.
“Regardless of how people view me, what I lack is what I lack. “I just have to keep pushing forward and keep pushing forward.”
“It’s the right mindset. But you also know. “Rumors and fame can be deadly weapons depending on how they are used.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sparkled.
“It just so happens that the Murim Lord election will be held next year.”
“…!”
“At a time like that, since you have become famous as the strongest late season index, shouldn’t I also be able to benefit from you?”
Mo Yong-woo smiled.
“It’s enough for me that my reputation will help you.”
“Hahaha! This guy is just like that. “It will be of great help to me and my family, but in the end, it is what is best for you.”
Prince Moyong nodded with a satisfied face.
“It was a lot of hard work. It was really hard. “I’m proud of you.”
“…thank you.”
Mo Yong-woo knew. If you hadn’t shown enough ability, your brother would never have spared you.
proud? It’s an evaluation I’m so thankful for that gives me goosebumps all over my body.
However, Mo Yong-woo was no longer swayed by Mo Yong-gun’s sincere praise and satisfied expression.
“older brother.”
“Speak.”
“Now that my brother has returned, the Murim Alliance will be shaken once again.”
“Hehehe, if the mere existence of me shakes people’s minds, then that would be something to be proud of.”
“Besides, as my brother said, the Murim Lord election begins next year.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes sparkled.
“so?”
“I don’t know the details, but I just know that my brother made a lot of preparations for the leadership election.”
“Of course I did.”
Mo Yong-woo said with a serious face.
“Shouldn’t I also start paying for my meals now?”
“What do you mean?”
“Please leave any task to me. Whatever happens, at least it won’t tarnish your face.”
Mo Yong-woo is finally ready to enter the muddy fight.
Moyong-gun felt even more proud as he vividly felt his younger brother’s determination.
“There is still one thing I would like to entrust to you.”
* * *
Shhh!
The speed at which the heavy sword cut through the air was extremely fast.
It was a sword technique that even felt light. Although he was not a beginner with a strong sword power or limited to a certain frame, he showed scary sword skills with just his speed and weight.
‘It’s not enough.’
Anxiety appeared on Kang Ryang’s face.
‘I don’t know what it is, but it’s still not enough.’
After joining the Murim League, I spent a whole day confined to my residence.
Because I was extremely nervous. No matter how close he was with a high-ranking member of the Maeng Dynasty, he was a late member of the most prestigious family in the Black Island.
And now he had entered the core of the enemy territory, so to speak, of a group he had thought of as his enemy his entire life. I couldn’t help but feel complicated.
But even for a moment.
Kang Ryang was an active person by nature. It is said that he is not a timid person who swallows and trembles just because he is nervous.
In the end, what he chose was martial arts.
‘He was different.’
The martial arts that impressed me the most in recent years was definitely Yeonhojeong’s martial arts.
It was much more impressive than the defeat rate using the same sword technique. It wasn’t just because of the difference in martial arts level.
‘He is a person who is learning the ancient techniques of Buddhism. However, even without using herbivorous skills, he controlled the battlefield by swinging his ax at the right time to kill or push back the enemy.’
Kang Ryang’s face turned red.
It seemed like it wasn’t just because my body was tired.
‘Even though his physical condition was not normal, he was dominating the fight.’
He was not a swordsman. But I wanted to be like him.
His decisiveness, perfect understanding of weapons, and ultimate insight into how to dominate a fight.
Yeon Ho-jeong was a fighter and a warrior many times greater than Kang-ryang thought, and at the same time a warrior.
Pow!
The thick blade split a fairly thick tree in half.
Kang-ryang sighed.
“You idiot. “What I’m saying is, don’t split it by cutting it like an axe, but split it by cutting it.”
It was a criticism directed at myself. Kang Ryang whetted his appetite.
‘I wasn’t able to concentrate properly. But that is also part of my skill. ‘No need to make excuses.’
Kang Ryang took a deep breath and took his stance again. I planned to focus properly this time.
It was then.
“How are you, father?”
“Hmm.”
“It’s pretty good, isn’t it?”
“It’s not quite good.”
“Is it that much?”
“You have a very narrow sense when it comes to judging people. “There are many people among my late-rounders with outstanding skills, but it is difficult to find someone with as strong a foundation as that young man.”
Kang Ryang was startled and looked to the side.
Before I knew it, Yeonhojeong and Yeonwi were standing there.
“omg! “All of you?”
Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his head.
“It seems a little foolish.”
“What are you saying to this guy’s face?”
Yeonwi, who had lightly beaten Yeonhojeong, walked away with an excited look on her face.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Gojeong’s father.”
“…Yes?”
“They say she is the head of the Byeoksan Yeonga family of the time.”
Kang Ryang’s face turned pale.
