Episode 388
Shadow of the Yin God (2)
Kugu Palace!
The stone gate of Daejeon was the same as before. However, it seemed like the work had been done to make the cut much more straight than before. Unlike before, when it seemed like a den of thieves, now it somehow gave off the feeling of a paradise.
“It’s changed a lot since then.”
At Yeon Ho-jeong’s calm words, Yang Cheon had a hard time suppressing his laughter.
“What a shameless guy you are.”
“What do you mean?”
“Whatever the reason, this is where you were once contained. “Do you really feel no guilt?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“It was just a mission. “I wouldn’t be able to do this if I felt guilty about every single thing.”
“It seems like you have a knack for professional three-piece work.”
“I have never received any special training. I don’t have time for that. However, since I was in a situation where I had to deceive my opponent, I just did my best within the scope of my ability.”
The Black Island was not only filled with mean people and evildoers. Rather, the more hospitable a person was, the more preferential treatment he received.
In other words, even if he did not hesitate to say that he was deceiving in front of Yangcheon, who was even called the King of Fighting, he could not win points. Rather, it only increased vigilance.
And that’s why Yangcheon was able to trust Yeonhojeong’s abilities. The more poorly you evaluate yourself, the more capable you are.
‘It’s not like he doesn’t know that. If this is also a calculated statement, he really is like a snake.’
Of course, Yang Cheon did not think that Yeon Ho-jeong’s remarks were a ploy. At least the Yeon Ho-jeong he saw had a brilliant mind, but was not a petty person.
Kugoogung!
The gates of Daejeon were closed.
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.
“That gentleman’s eyes were once cruel.”
“It has to be that way. Baekseo is the chairman of the zodiac and my greatest confidant. “If your sense of betrayal was greater than mine, it would be greater, not less.”
“For some reason, it seemed like that.”
Yang Chen sat on the chair. It wasn’t the Taesa’s office, but a small chair in front of a table placed to the side.
“There’s no need to waste time here.”
“Of course.”
“I will ask. How do you plan to detoxify Yin Huang Kidney? “No, before that, are these really symptoms of addiction?”
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke directly.
“Didn’t Manager Yang suddenly lose consciousness while I was the head of the intelligence department?”
“…It did.”
“Didn’t you feel anything strange at that time?”
“It would be a lie if I said no. “But no matter how much I looked inside, there was nothing wrong with my body.”
Yang Chen’s eyes deepened.
“I know my body well. This is not arrogance. Since you have also broken through the barrier of infinite realms, you probably know how your body and energy change after you break through the extreme level.”
“Of course I know.”
“The state of no end that the world talks about is on a different level from the border of no end. When you reach that level, everything changes. “It varies from person to person, but if you concentrate, you can see through even the texture of things.”
Yeon Ho-jeong also knew. Because he too had entered that state.
“And the same goes for my own body. “Even though I am not a doctor, I am confident that I am better than any doctor in the world, at least when it comes to looking at my body.”
“I think it’s reasonable pride.”
“Are you still sure I’m addicted?”
“I’m sure. “Again, I’m sure the Vice lord felt something too.”
Yang Cheon looked at Yeon Ho-jeong in silence.
Just as he said, Yang Cheon had been feeling strange from the beginning. However, it was just a suspicion and I wasn’t sure.
“As Vice Lord Yang said, masters who have entered the realm of no polarity have different perspectives on the world.”
“…You speak as if you have entered that realm.”
“That’s not important. What’s important is how you got those ‘eyes’.”
“what are you talking about?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“In order for an expert to enter the stage of upward growth, several factors are necessary. But the root is energy.”
“Of course it is. But that…”
“The golden seal engraved on Yang Buju’s chest is not a wound that causes poisoning. “The craftsman is just a factory worker.”
“factory?”
“exactly.”
“What factory do you mean?”
“A factory to process and refine the charms of Yang Bu-su and turn them into puppets.”
“…?!”
Yang Chen’s eyes widened.
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“It’s entirely possible that Manager Yang won’t notice. “Gwimyeongsinui, one of the best doctors in Heukdo, said he examined Yang Buju’s body, but it is not easy for the doctor to find it.”
“….”
“Buju Yang sees the world with energy. “The level you have achieved is so supreme that your entire body is always surrounded by energy, even if you are unconscious.”
“…Yes.”
“It was not Yang’s careless body, or body tissue, that was poisoned by Yin Huang Kidney. “It’s true energy.”
“…!!”
Yang Cheon’s mouth opened.
“You poisoned Jinki?”
“exactly.”
“Are you saying that the energy was polluted with energy?”
“exactly.”
“…I will ask again. Are you saying that my true energy, which has reached the level of the Holy Heaven, has been polluted by the evil spirit of the Four Eum Cultists?”
“exactly.”
Yang Cheon shouted.
“Nonsense!”
Although he didn’t know it, Yang Cheon was caught up in the thought that Yeon Ho-jeong’s words might be true.
It is safe to say that there are no cases in which a master who has entered the extreme state loses consciousness in a situation where no abnormal symptoms are found.
However, Yangcheon lost consciousness. If he had been in battle, his life would have been lost that way.
When Yang Chen thought of that, he felt a chill for the first time in a long time.
Yeon Ho-jeong said in a sombre tone.
“Have you never had any doubts? “I’m talking about the usefulness of Yinhwang Kidney.”
“…?!”
“Yin Huang Xinjiang is a terrifying martial artist. It is a martial art that even masters of the same hand have no choice but to be reluctant to do, as it is a type of dark technique that explodes the opponent’s heart. However, it is not impossible to respond at all. “If you only know the characteristics of Yinhwang Kidney, that’s all.”
“…!!”
“The leader of the Four Eums is strong. So much so that Vice Lord Yang was defeated. “What do you think is the reason why a master of his caliber kept Yang Buju alive even though he used martial arts that had great power but would reveal his countermeasures if a rumor spread?”
Yang Chen’s eyelids fluttered.
“…Because I am confident. “I am confident that I will not go against myself.”
“That’s it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became cold.
Just mentioning the four letters Saeumgyoju made me feel completely down.
“When I was the head of the Intelligence Department of the Mukryongbu, I felt something strange about Yang Buju’s true nature. It was a huge energy wave, but I felt a strange breakdown from the true energy leaking out. Of course, the energy itself was great, but I felt that the energy was cloudy and unbefitting of the reputation of a fighting king.”
“….”
“The person involved will not know. The reason is because I see the world as an already polluted truth. It would be better if you had a life-or-death fight with someone. You can’t find an answer by just looking at the wounds without a proper fight. “I haven’t even tried to exert my utmost strength.”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed to Yang Cheon’s chest with his index finger.
It was quite a provocative act, but Yang Cheon could not criticize Yeon Ho-jeong’s actions.
“Just as paper is slowly getting wet with water, the true energy of Yang Buju is already being penetrated little by little by the evil energy of Yin Huang Tension.”
“…can not believe it. “No matter how much stronger he is than me, it is almost impossible to pollute the true energy of someone who has reached the pinnacle of perfection.”
“Saeumgyoju is the one who uses that almost impossible ability. The martial arts of Saeumgyo have been adept at penetrative techniques for generations. “It will probably be difficult for anyone in the central region to catch up with Saeumgyoju when it comes to dark scenes.”
That is why it was difficult to catch the leader of the Four Eums during the time of the Emperor of Darkness.
If it is a matter of life or death, you must catch it immediately. Otherwise, if you allow the attack, you will have to fight later while being addicted to the fraud of the Saeum cult.
Of course, Yeon Ho-jeong also did not know at the time that Yin Hwang Mu had the supernormal ability to pollute the true energy.
However, the sixth sense he gained after experiencing countless mayhems told him. We should not allow even a single blow to the Eumhwangmu of the Saeum cult. If a blow is allowed, at least it must not be missed.
And that was precisely the reason why Yeonhojeong tried to subdue the Saeum cult along with Prince Moyong, who was revered as a sword god. This was because he was a very dangerous enemy, regardless of his martial arts skills.
“then.”
Suddenly, Yang Cheon’s eyes became cold, like Yeon Ho Jeong’s.
“If you knew that, why didn’t you tell me when you were head of the intelligence department?”
“Are you saying that? You are a fighting king. A big man of that size founded an organization called the Mukryongbu without a rumor, and he was even an enemy. “Why should I do something that would be good for my enemy?”
He spoke so confidently that even Yang Cheon could not help but be speechless.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“And I didn’t know much at the time. However, I have been thinking about it since returning to Mang. “I also sought advice from the best lawmakers.”
“lawmaker?”
“There is someone like that. “She is young, but her skills rival those of Gwimyeongshin.”
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.
“Anyway, there is an antidote method that he gave me. It may take some time, but if you have the skills of Yang Buju, you will be able to correct the contaminated Jinki in less than two days.”
“…good night.”
Yang Chen narrowed his eyes.
“I will leave the past stories buried like this. “How do I decipher this?”
“The decryption method is surprisingly simple. “It just costs a little money.”
“money?”
“exactly. However, I heard that the Mukryongbu’s financial power is truly amazing. So it won’t be difficult. ah! Just in case, it would be a good idea to call the ghost god and decipher it together.”
“What method is this?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
“Is there an elixir in the warehouse? “Is there an elixir with medicinal power comparable to that of Shaolin’s Great Hwandan?”
* * *
two days later.
“kite…!”
Mo Yong-woo, who had almost called Yeon-je without realizing it, cleared his throat and bowed his head politely.
“Are you here, master?”
“Uh oh. I had a hard time waiting. “You heard it from Kang Ryang, right?”
“That’s right. But I don’t believe it. Have you really been to the Mukryongbu?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“why? “I wonder if he left his subordinates behind and went to some room to play?”
Mo Yong-woo was embarrassed and waved his hands.
“That thought…”
“Haha, I know.”
“So what happened?”
“What’s going on? “I saw that he came back in good health.”
“…haha.”
Kang-ryang, who was crossing his arms in the distance, grumbled.
“I’m glad you came back safely, but it looks like you also received a gift?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“You’re just a ghost. “Is it obvious like that?”
“It’s bound to show up. “Even though I had a fierce fight with the king of the world, my body was not only intact, but my energy was burning brightly.”
The Uijeonggun soldiers who were quietly listening to their conversation were surprised. Because I never would have thought that Yeon Ho-jeong would have fought with King Tu.
“He is like that too.”
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.
“I received a good medicine as a gift. I tried to save it if possible, but they told me to eat it and leave. Is it the price of Tuwang’s life? So I ate it.”
“You must be young.”
“It’s real, man.”
“I will believe you.”
“I’m not telling you to believe it, it’s real!”
“I understand.”
At that time, Mo Yong-woo said.
“Anyway, I’m glad you came back safely. Then…”
“Okay. “You have to move slowly.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked south.
His mischievous eyes suddenly turned cold.
“I also received information about the target. I can skip the trivial search.”
