Episode 394
Shadow of the Yin God (8)
“Chief.”
“….”
“Ampal is dead.”
The eyes of Sima Xuan, the great disciple of Yin God, became cold.
“To whom?”
“He was killed by an acquaintance of Yaju.”
“….”
“….”
“Did you say anything else?”
“That’s right.”
“Then it is done. “Focus on your task.”
“I follow your orders.”
Slurp.
The dark four disappeared like smoke.
Sima Xuan, who had been staring out the window for a while, closed his eyes.
‘Go first.’
He secretly prayed for Ampal’s return to paradise.
In my heart, I wanted to invade Yaju’s residence right away. I wanted to go there, knock him unconscious, abolish his dantian, make him unable to even faint, and subject him to all kinds of terrible torture for three months and ten days.
Of course, it wasn’t just because of Ampal.
‘So many people are being harmed by your presence alone.’
It was as many as three years ago that Sima Xuan unleashed the Yin God’s soul-soul art.
Even Sima Xuan himself didn’t know how that was possible. I suddenly hated my teacher and became unfamiliar with him. Then, at some point, I realized that there was a problem with my memory.
As I tried to recall my memories, I was suddenly able to break the spell. I could only guess that perhaps the true energy of the yin and yin and yang species had a strange effect.
Of course, that didn’t matter.
What was important was that the teacher he had trusted and followed for a long time was Marshal Cheolcheon, and that he must kill the man who was both his teacher and his enemy.
‘There will be no frivolous revenge.’
Perhaps Yayuljeok doesn’t know. How much preparation have you done over the past three years?
How much information was gathered and how many people were persuaded? Furthermore, how many assassins did he attract to his side?
‘And finally.’
Sima Xuan took out a small document from his arms.
‘The opportunity has come.’
Currently, a military unit of the Murim League has entered Guangdong Province.
If a military unit enters, intelligence groups to assist it will also sneak in. Although we could not confirm which intelligence organization was coming or from what direction, it was clear that it was coming.
‘It’s probably most likely to be open.’
Sima Xuan opened his mouth.
“Amjang (暗將).”
“Did you call me, Captain?”
A masked person suddenly appeared like a hermit and prostrated himself next to Sima Xuan.
Sima Xuan handed him the document.
“Put snow on the entire Guangdong Province. And if you are sure that he is an informant for the Murim Alliance, deliver this document to them.”
The crag leader’s eyes glowed blue.
“Is this starting?”
“Okay, now’s the start.”
Sima Xuan closed his eyes.
“If the Murim League does not help, then I will cut off Hong Guan’s head without caring for my life.”

“Yeongyongja!”
Out of urgency, I even omitted the title Dae-su.
Mukbi approached with a worried face.
“are you okay?”
“are you okay.”
“You just collapsed, right? “What a serious internal injury!”
“I didn’t suffer any internal injuries.”
“…yes?”
Yeon Ho-jeong twirled his left shoulder.
“I know too much about the blood and sound field. It’s a pretty scary martial art, but if you know the infiltration route, blocking the Dark Mirror is as easy as splitting firewood. In that respect, it can definitely be seen as a concept that is close to the basic ball of Yin Hwang Mu.”
Mukbi looked at Yeonhojeong with a puzzled expression. Okcheong and Yeoguk also had similar expressions.
“Are you kidding me?”
“It’s no joke.”
“Unless it’s a joke! Why did you let the enemy go? What’s more, he’s an expert from Saeumgyo!”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“Even if you catch one fox, you can only vent your anger. “A poisonous snake hiding in a burrow will be more cautious.”
“…?”
“I’ve roughly thrown in the seeds, so if things go as planned, the camp over there will soon become quite spectacular.”
One of the strongest members of the Saeum Church would not have been dispatched to Eumsin.
That was natural. At least as far as Yeon Ho-jeong knew, the super experts on the three schools had great pride. Among them, there were many conservatives who clicked their tongues, wondering if there was any need to target the lowly land in the central plains.
In other words, there is an overwhelmingly high probability that the music masters of the time were masters of the lower ranks.
No, I was sure. The Eumsin that Yeon Ho-jeong met during the time of Emperor Heukam had no connection with Saeumgyo, so he probably overtook his teacher through some kind of incident and became a new Eumsin.
If the opponent was an elite expert from the Three Schools, it would have been difficult for even a genius to beat the teacher.
‘In addition, Yayuljeok was transformed externally into the person of Hong Guan, Yang Cheon’s disciple. If he were a half-divine level strongman, he would not have made himself known as Yang Cheon’s disciple, even if it was out of pride.’
Yang Cheon knew quite a bit of information about Yayuljeok. However, I didn’t know how strong he was or what his position was in Saeumgyo.
‘The martial arts skills of that damned b*tch just now could easily be compared to a masterpiece. Beonjak is an extreme, transcendental master who has not been able to break through to the realm of martial arts. In that case, the power of that damn b*tch is no less than that of Yin God.’
Yeon Ho-jeong was even sharper than the Saeumgyo side when it came to the Heeumjang and Hyeumsang fraud.
Of course, I also knew about the law of destruction. This is because many of the masters of the Darkness Fortress gritted their teeth and dug in because they had been wronged by half-hearted people who inherited the blood of the Saeum cult.
Now all that remains is ‘disruption’.
‘The commander of the Murim League cannot be so mastered in the martial arts of the Four Eums. yes?’
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke to Firefighter in his heart.
‘Then who would have told you about the law of destruction? There’s a high probability that it’s the work of your insiders nearby, right?’
Yeon Ho-jeong kept talking until he was exhausted.
‘Tell me so. please.’
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke with sadness.
With a sound that can’t possibly reach the invisible fire fighter.
‘If I don’t cause trouble, I’ll despise myself for letting you go today. Please don’t make me miserable.’
Mukbi opened his mouth.
“If you have something in mind, please tell me in advance from now on…”
For a moment, Mukbi was speechless.
Grumbling.
A trickle of blood flowed from Yeon Ho-jeong’s lips. This is because I was chewing my lips unconsciously.
I chewed so hard that the bleeding increased. But Yeon Ho-jeong didn’t seem to even be aware of that.
Mukbi looked into Yeonhojeong’s eyes with shaking eyes.
‘…’
Mukbi felt his eyesight becoming dizzy.
It wasn’t just her. Okcheong and Yeoguk also saw Yeonhojeong in an unusual atmosphere and were shocked by his terrifying eyes and were speechless.
Yeon Ho-jeong was speaking with his eyes. It was expressed with the eyes and contained with the eyes.
His eyes contained every emotion that a human can feel. Surprisingly, emotions such as joy, love, and fun were also visible there.
And such positive emotions were surrounded by unimaginably great malice.
So there was nothing in his eyes.
‘Burn brightly.’
The uncontrollable emotions gradually came together and presented Yeon Ho-jeong with a grand illusion.
‘It burns again and again, and you all suffer because you cannot escape the flames of hell rising to the sky.’
I met my true enemy.
Although she had no acquaintance with that woman, the mere fact that she was a member of the Saeum Church made her an enemy to Yeon Ho-jeong whom he would not mind tearing her into 10,000 pieces and killing her.
Mythology? Gwanghyeokgyo? Of course, they are enemies too. They were the ones who were going to turn the midfield into a sea of fire anyway, and they were actually working on such a plan, so I had to kill them for the sake of my family. That way there will be no regrets.
But Saeumgyo was different again.
How many of my subordinates died horribly at the hands of those guys? The remnants of the Saeum Church, who had lost his family and his subordinates who had once again given him faith and love as his humanity was worn away, were enemies of Cheolcheonji whom he could not forgive even if they had to repeat a million lives.
The black sheep I saw in the old Mukryongbu? Of course, that guy was also a sectarian.
But he was a bug. A bug sent from Saeumgyo. It was like the loneliness of living in the southwest.
But the girl who had just run away was different.
I came into contact with Saeumgyo, a true Saeumgyo. Is this an enemy that I have faced for the first time in a few years since returning to the past?
The enemy I hated so much and wanted to meet right away was sent to me by my own hand.
Clutter.
The sound of teeth grinding echoed in all directions through the sound of the roaring fire.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became increasingly bloodshot.
‘The reason I saved your life is because you must not ruin my mercy and my plan. If there is any conflict, I will make it impossible for you to live or die for at least four years.’
It was a terrible curse.
A curse that is entirely filled with a person’s hatred can be conveyed even if it is not said out loud. Mukbi and Okcheong Yeo-guk felt goosebumps rising at Yeon Ho-jeong’s increasingly deep anger.
How much time has passed like that?
“…Whew.”
I let out a sigh filled with boiling emotions.
Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes.
‘Jinin.’
He recalled Seung Hyeon-jin, who taught him at the Murim Alliance training hall.
His kind expression, worried voice, and kind eyes.
‘Those who have power cannot be free from the responsibility that comes with its weight. The moment you forget that responsibility, the world will fall into ruin. You may wonder whether such a thing is possible with one person’s madness, but it is quite possible. That is the martial arts world and it is also the world.’
‘I don’t know what kind of killing will stain your future red, but I hope to instill at least a ray of warmth in your weary heart. That’s just it.’
Yeon Ho-jeong muttered in a low voice without realizing it.
That was the realization that Seunghyeonjinin gave him. Rather than cutting down and suppressing human emotions, it contained pedantic yet easy-to-understand teachings about the fundamental reason why the world is beautiful and how people should live in it.
As I recited the enlightenment taught by Seunghyeon Jinin, my mind, which had not been calmed by the inner practice of Yeongasindan and the Four Spirits, gradually began to stabilize.
Of course, it wasn’t necessarily because the teachings were great. Yeon Ho-jeong put aside his personal revenge and prioritized his mission, and was now a man who had reached a point where he was thinking about the greater good beyond his mission.
Such changes were making Yeonhojeong’s vision wider and clearer through the sermon delivered by Seunghyeonjinin.
Without the will to change, the teachings of the sage are nothing but kindling.
Yeonhojeong had suddenly changed so much. He was becoming increasingly distant from the Emperor of Darkness before his death.
Flash!
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes.
“sorry. “I had a lot to think about for a while.”
The calm voice reassured the three people. It shows that he is not pretending to do so, but that he has really made up his mind.
“If it goes as I expected, the enemy camp will fall into great confusion. “Perhaps, considering that woman’s personality and status, Eumshin’s headquarters may be paralyzed for a moment.”
“Then what do we do next?”
“How can I do it? “If you create a gap, you have to fill it without mercy.”
Chiri riri ring!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who tied the Gyoryongswae to his upper body and raised the Gwangryongbu, spoke in a cold voice.
“Put contact in the open. Move slowly. “I need to clean up the fallen leaves before going into the main game.”
Yeon Ho-jeong did not simply come to catch the spirit.
On a small scale, he came to capture the Ganja of the Saeum Church, but on a larger scale, he came to collapse the world of assassins and restore vitality to the southern martial arts group that had lost its power.
Going beyond killing organizations and killing enemy leaders, it also seeks to stabilize Guangdong Province.
Yeonhojeong, the strongest vanguard, Byeoksanhojang.
In this operation, he had to go beyond being a vanguard and become a monarch who would correct the lives of the people in a region.
Even just for a moment.
