Episode 387
Shadow of the Yin God (1)
The man’s complexion was pale.
He was not just sick, he was pale as if he were a corpse. It is a complexion that feels so foreign that anyone would feel uncomfortable.
He was tall and his body was thin. It had an impression similar to an old tree that had been covered in snow in the middle of winter.
But other than that, the impression was surprisingly ordinary.
People call the continent Jungwon, but countless ethnic groups also live in this land.
Surprisingly, the man’s face had an appearance similar to that seen on the faces of any ethnic group. Although he didn’t look like a westerner, he looked like someone I’d seen once while walking down the street.
The top was taken off, but the bottoms were decorated with colorful silk. She wore a golden necklace studded with unknown gems and rings on all ten fingers. Of course, each ring was studded with precious stones.
Contrary to the impression, the clothes and accessories were nothing short of extravagant.
A grotesquely pale skin color, an extremely ordinary appearance, and clothes and accessories decorated to the point of burdensomeness.
That strange combination fit strangely with the man’s mysterious prayer. It would be difficult to find people like this anywhere in the world.
The man who had been staring out the window for a long time opened his mouth.
“Have you caught the owner of the Double Sword Gate yet?”
It was a nice voice to listen to.
In response to the man’s question, the young man who appeared to be no older than twenty bowed his head.
“We are tracking. However, since their location has been captured, I believe we will be able to kill them before the end of the day.”
“Well, you had a hard time.”
The man turned around.
Chiri ririn.
The gold thread attached to the bottom and the jewels connected to the gold thread made a clear sound as they clashed.
“Once the Twin Gates are cleared, will only the Silver family remain?”
“That’s right.”
The man, Hong Guan, smiled faintly.
Although he had an extremely ordinary appearance, his complexion was pale, so even his small smile had an eerie feel to it.
“Once we get that far, the rest will fall on its own. “It’s been a lot of hard work.”
“no. “The night master had a harder time.”
Yazoo.
Yaju means the lord of the night. In the world of assassins, it is considered a tribute to the best assassin.
Moorim’s strongest spray. The worst god of death in the world, whose name has never been engraved on the sunny land of the Murimsa Temple, but whose existence only a few tycoons of the underworld know about.
For generations, the title given to the Yin God was Yaju.
Cheer ring! Cheer ring!
Hong Gwan walked briskly to the chair and sat down, resting his chin on his chin.
“I’ve only seen you for three months, but your skills have improved even more.”
“thank you.”
“The balance between the negative cold white type and the negative hot red type is well maintained. Now, if you combine the two martial arts into one and reach the Yin Realm, it will be difficult for even a Jangmun of the Nine Sects to avoid your magical power.”
The young man lowered his head without saying a word.
Hong Guan’s smile deepened.
“Are you dissatisfied?”
“…no.”
“I don’t know how you feel. However, your achievements are ten years faster than mine, your teacher. “Considering that I was also called a rare genius in the past, you can be said to be the greatest talent in the history of music.”
“….”
“So, don’t rush into it and solve it slowly, one by one. Just before ascending to the Yinjegyeong, this is the time when the energy of fire and anger fluctuates the most. “If you make a mistake, you will lose everything you have gained.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Okay, that’s it.”
The voice was very warm. Are the tycoons who are said to be the pinnacle of the assassination world still people?
However, contrary to his voice, Hong Guan’s eyes as he looked at the young man were extremely indifferent. It was extremely stiff, as if I was looking at an object rather than a person.
“Once you catch the Double Blade Moonjutsu, come back and focus on your training. “It’s been a lot of hard work.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Just leave now and try.”
“yes.”
The young man bowed and left the room.
“…Hmm.”
Hong Guan, who was leaning on a chair in a roomy posture, looked up at the ceiling.
“I remember it too.”
Hong Guan knew. That his great disciple had broken the secret art of soul control that he himself had casted.
There are many secret techniques in Seophonsul. There are simple ways to turn a person into an idiot or drive him crazy, but advanced soul magic allows the caster to select and remove only the memories he or she wants.
This was exactly the magic that Hong Guan used on his disciple.
‘He was truly a sought-after talent.’
He was the one who killed the great disciple’s family.
Originally, Hong Guan also tried to kill the great disciple. However, when he realized that the great disciple’s strength and talent were greater than anything he had ever seen before, he kidnapped him and used a magic spell to make him his disciple.
In the future, the plan was to raise him as the god of death in the central plains and make him one of the four kings of the evil sect.
“Well, how many things in this world can happen the way you want? “Tsk, he probably didn’t have any connection with adultery.”
Hong Guan shook his head and quenched his appetite.
It was then.
‘…’
Hong Guan’s eyes suddenly became sharp.
“Show yourself.”
“….”
“Do you want to play ghost? In front of none other than me?”
“…Hmm.”
Where on earth did it come from?
A woman appeared from the deep shadows behind Hong Guan.
Unlike Hong Guan’s pale skin, she was an impressive beauty with moderately tanned skin. Although he was tall like Hong Guan, his body was curvy and his outfit was extremely simple.
Hong Guan said without even looking back.
“You picked up a bad habit without me even seeing you.”
“That’s what I’m going to say.”
Flap!
A woman went to the other side of the Hong Pavilion, her clothes flapping, and sat down with her legs crossed.
“It seems like the skills are the same, but there was a moment of hesitation. Do you think the water in Jungwon is good? “It’s not as sharp as it used to be.”
“Do you want to come across the road thousands of miles and talk nonsense like that?”
“gibberish? If you think what I say is nonsense, you have become very dull. “You weren’t like that before.”
The woman laughed as if it was fun.
It didn’t seem particularly intentional, but the act of gently ruffling her hair with her long fingers looked very seductive.
“These b*stards are praising you for being evil and evil, so have you forgotten your fundamentals?”
Life shined in the eyes of Hong Guan, or Yayuljeok.
“You’d better be careful what you say, Firefighter.”
“I’m glad. “I didn’t forget my name.”
Firefighter looked around the room.
“Wow, it’s so fancy, isn’t it? “He was said to have a power comparable to that of a continental emperor, and his room was entirely decorated with gold.”
“….”
“But you know, right? “The gold in this room, the jewels you wear, the clothes, and even your life belong to fornication.”
The corner of Yayuljeok’s mouth rose.
“You didn’t come that far because you wanted to check your faith, right?”
“Of course it is. But it is also an equally important issue. You can’t get caught up in the junk from the continent and forget about our school, right? “No one has been stuck on the continent for as long as you.”
“This is an order from above. “No matter how much you are considered to be one of the next Four Kings, are you serious enough to ignore the instructions given to you by the Great Teaching Hall?”
Firefighter’s eyes became sharp.
Daegyojeon was a place where only the top leaders of Saeumgyo could enter.
The orders given there were no different from God’s orders. And God’s command was also the religious leader’s command.
In other words, Yayuljeok asked Firefighter whether you were great enough to interfere with the leader’s orders.
This is an issue that could result in immediate execution for treason if you make a mistake.
Firefighter spoke in a calm voice.
“Let me explain why I came here.”
“You’re not answering. I’ll ask again. “I asked whether you were so great that you could even overcome the orders given in the Great Bridge Battle.”
“Things are going a bit strangely.”
“If you don’t answer, I will report you to the superiors for treason.”
“The Shinhwa Church suffered.”
“…?!”
Yayuljeok’s face hardened.
“…what?”
“The adherents of the Shinhwa religion who dominated the military government of Henam Province were swept away by the masters of the Murim League. Although the Shinhwa Church did not properly announce it, it appears that at least five military officers were killed. “I’m guessing that there are at least two high-ranking generals among them.”
“…!!”
Yayuljeok’s face hardened even more.
The eighteen warlords of the Shinhwa Church were truly formidable in martial arts. To put it bluntly, they were strong men who were no less powerful than the generals of Saeumgyo, and in particular, the first general was a true expert who was on the verge of becoming a half-divine apostle.
“…I heard that the first general, Beonjak, personally participated in the infiltration of Hanam as the leader?”
“that’s right.”
“That’s right? Did you hear me correctly? I said it was a success. “It means that even if you and I were together, it was difficult to discuss victory or defeat, and he was with us as the leader.”
“know.”
“You got hit at the same time?”
“Bunjak survived. “The officers under his command are dead.”
“Isn’t that what you mean? Burning is strong. There are no major shortcomings in command ability either. But how could those Murimmen be defeated by those b*stards?”
“I can’t know about that because the Shinhwa Church is keeping quiet. “The important thing is that among the armed forces, only Burnjak survived.”
“…!”
“But there is something strange.”
“Something strange?”
“The Shinhwa Church did not provide all the information… but they did not seem to think it was a big problem.”
“what?”
“….”
“They said at least five of the eighteen generals were killed. But it’s not a big problem?”
“At least that’s what it looks like on the outside. It’s not just me. “My master said he felt that way too.”
Yayuljeok could not understand at all.
‘What on earth is this?’
Firefighter said.
“it’s okay. The important thing is not the mythological religion. “It’s us.”
“….”
“Recently, you have been causing divisions among the Baekdo factions in the southern part of here, reducing the power of the political factions, right?”
“Because it was an order from above.”
“okay. “The problem is how the Murim Alliance, who killed the Shinhwa religion’s warlords, will view this situation.”
“…!!”
“It may have been after Shinhwaism was fully established in Hanam, but it is dangerous now. The Murim Alliance will dispatch an informant. “In the worst case, we might send someone with real talent.”
“He’s a talented person.”
“ah! “The Shinhwa Church told me this.”
Tension appeared on Firefighter’s face.
“Among those who fought with the warlords, there was no one strong in Seongcheon.”
Yayuljeok was greatly surprised.
He thought that the strong men of Seongcheon were unconditionally involved in the death of the military commanders. It had to be that way. If he wasn’t that strong, he wouldn’t have been able to defeat the military officers commanded by Beonjak.
But it’s not?
“That’s why it’s more dangerous. Because he was defeated even though he was not a Seongcheon-level strongman. That means…”
“Does that mean they know a lot about us?”
“That’s how the higher-ups see it.”
“….”
Firefighter, who was silently watching the Yayul enemy with wide eyes, relaxed his posture.
“I will stay here for about three months. Because the Murim League’s beggars might smell it and come. “If a master who is hard to ignore comes along, you might not be enough at that time, right?”
Yayuljeok could not firmly deny those words. The eighteen warlords would have suffered the same way.
However, as the eumsin and yaju of the central plains, he was able to say this.
“do not worry.”
Tdu-duk-duk!
All ten rings were broken off by a tightly clenched fist.
“Because my rats are taking over the entire South.”
