Episode 542
You have to listen to know (2)
“Did you understand everything?”
“of course.”
“As expected, it’s fast.”
“The teacher’s ability was good.”
“It’s unusual to be flattered.”
Yang Chen shook his hands.
Unlike him, who seemed perfectly fine, Yeon Ho-jeong looked quite rough. His hair was scattered and his clothes were all tattered, and he looked like a beggar, except that it wasn’t just burnt.
“Of course not, but never let down your guard. The method I taught is ‘at least’. “If it’s the Yin Emperor, I could use an attack I can’t even imagine, putting you in a state of inability to fight.”
“And you may not fight the Yin Emperor.”
“Of course it is. But you always have to assume the worst.”
Yang Chen shook his head.
“I don’t know about anything else, but when it comes to mass murder, Emperor Yin is probably the best among the powerful in Shengcheon. “It’s the power of sound waves.”
“I know.”
“You will have to be more careful than ever. Not just you, but everyone who goes with you. “The moment you make a mistake, you may die without even knowing how you die.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“If you’re really worried, why don’t you go with us, Vice Lord?”
“Let’s be together…”
It was said as a joke, but unexpectedly, Yang Cheon’s face was serious.
“Yeah, it’s not like I haven’t thought about that.”
“Are you serious?”
“You came to martial arts and achieved achievements that an ordinary person would never dare think of. These aren’t things you can succeed in just by being strong in martial arts. “In fact, other abilities shined more brightly than martial arts.”
“I admit it.”
“It is certainly a great thing, but at the same time, many people are mistaken. “You think you have no limits.”
“….”
“The opponent is a strong person from the Holy Heaven. “In this case, military inferiority is fatal.”
“I know that too.”
A look of regret appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
What Yang Chen said was right in every detail. With his experience as a Dark Emperor, his skills, and his keenly trained eye, he has led various missions to success.
However, he also had a fatal weakness: he was powerless.
If it was to be deployed on an appropriate mission, this could not be considered a weakness. It couldn’t be a weakness. Yeonhojeong’s military power was beyond the level of the late Jisoo, and he was a super expert who could compete with the world, except for the Seongcheon-level strongmen.
The problem was that he was always sent on missions that were nearly impossible. He even wanted it himself.
That is why even the powerful martial arts skills become a weakness.
“So I thought. Anyway, I was wondering if I could leave this job to you. To be honest, I was thinking of leaving the Inkryongbu in your care for a while and running it myself.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was colored with surprise.
Yang Chen smiled.
“why? “Is it unexpected?”
“It’s not surprising. Anyway, I don’t think the head of the Mukryongbu would do it.”
“that’s right. This is not what the leader of the Mukryongbu plans to do. However, if you are a martial artist in the central plains who wants to lead the war to victory, it is something worth considering.”
“…!”
“But I quit. I know it’s not realistic to say I quit. “If you leave your position to take in the powerful people of Seongcheon, the headquarters will be a mess no matter how much you keep it centered.”
“That is correct.”
Yang Chen shook his head.
“It was all meaningless anyway. What matters is reality. “Especially in this case, there is no one I can trust but you.”
“….”
“Actually, I was planning on using you for this purpose in the first place, but… it’s really frustrating.”
Yeon Ho-jeong thought. Yangcheon has definitely changed a lot.
Yang Chen in his previous life was not this kind of person. There wasn’t much conversation in the first place, but at that time he was an insanely ambitious man who was obsessed with unifying the Black Islands and did not hesitate to commit all kinds of atrocities.
But now?
“Thanks to you. You saved my life. And he asked me to join him. It doesn’t matter if the country is just saving the chess pieces to win the war. “The important thing is that I have escaped the poison of the Four Eums cults.”
“….”
“I’ve always wanted to say this to you. “Thank you and I’m sorry.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“What day is today?”
“hmm? Why is that suddenly?”
“Isn’t this a historic day when Tuwang Yangcheon showed his true sincerity to me? “I want to remember it.”
“That’s pointless.”
Yang Cheon backed away.
“To be thankful is to be thankful, and to be sorry is to be sorry. And it ends there. “The relationship in the future can be very different.”
“I know.”
“What about Makwon?”
“I am recuperating. I have sent a letter to the Murim Alliance, so a response will come soon. “In particular, if the poison in senior Mak Won’s body is really the deadly poison of the Shinhwa cult, there is someone who can definitely cure it.”
“You’re a western station goddess.”
“That’s right.”
Yang Cheon quenched his appetite.
“Uiseon Gakju of the Murim Alliance is coming to Mukryongbu… I feel like we have formed an alliance once again.”
He looked directly at Yeon Ho-jeong.
“Just make this a success and come back. As soon as Makwon is healed, I will be able to join him on the next mission.”
“Do not worry.”
“Who cares about you here now but me? Without you, war would be difficult. “If you don’t think you can capture him, risk your life and run away.”
“I will do that even if you don’t say that.”
“You must be young.”
Yang Chen turned around.
“Let’s go in and have a drink.”
“Good.”
But unfortunately, the two were not destined to drink today.
“My lord! “We’re in big trouble!”
“What’s going on, making such a fuss?”
“The Four Three Dukes…!”
“hmm?”
“The Three Dukes… were found dead!”
Yang Chen’s eyes sparkled with fire.
When we arrived at the scene, several experts were camped out. It was to control the surroundings.
When Yang Chen appeared, they all knelt down.
“See you, Vice lord!”
Yang Cheon approached Jeon Hong, who had collapsed, without even greeting him.
“…?!”
Yang Chen’s eyes wavered.
That wasn’t all. Yeon Ho-jeong, who came with Yang Cheon, was also surprised to see Jeon Hong’s body.
‘Moknaei (木乃伊)?!’
Jeon Hong’s body had turned into dried firewood.
It seemed as if all the blood and moisture had drained from my body. The sunken eyes and sunken cheeks were truly creepy.
“This…?”
Yeon Ho-jeong sensed Jeon Hong’s pulse.
He looked back at Yang Chen.
“All my vitality was sucked out. Even my strength.”
“….”
Yang Chen looked down at Zhen Hong in silence.
The change in expression was not significant, but anyone could see that he was agitated.
White Paper approached and said.
“The time when the Three Dukes left their residence was an hour ago. And they say he came straight here.”
“….”
“The time of discovery was before half past midnight. In other words, the time of death of the Three Confucius can be said to be between one hour ago and half an hour ago.”
Yang Chen asked.
“Who did you meet in the meantime?”
“…there is one person.”
“Who is it?”
“It’s strong.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
Yang Chen nodded.
“Bring me.”
After a while, Kang Ryang arrived at the scene, accompanied by warriors. He also had a serious expression, as if he had heard of the situation as he arrived.
When Jiang Liang came, everyone except Yang Chen looked at him.
Yang Chen asked without even looking back.
“You saw this guy today, right?”
“That’s right.”
To begin with, this place was right in front of Kang Ryang’s residence.
Yang Chen spoke briefly.
“Explain.”
It was a voice without any emotion.
Kang-ryang spoke in a sombre tone.
“I was meditating and came out because I was hungry. At that time, the author was already waiting. “He immediately started arguing, so I ignored him, but he started swearing too much and a fight broke out.”
“fight.”
“That’s right. Of course, the fight ended in one blow.”
I didn’t mean to brag. My intention is to explain the situation at that time in as much detail as possible.
“so?”
“I drew my sword and threatened him, but that was all. “No matter how angry I am, I can’t kill a careless disciple in the Mukryongbu, right?”
Slurp.
Yang Cheon woke up.
No one knew what he was thinking.
“Just ask one question.”
Yang Cheon still had his back turned.
“Have you learned any other martial arts other than the martial arts of Gwicheolgeommun?”
Kang-ryang nodded.
“That’s right.”
“What kind of martial arts is it?”
“Cheolgeomdaeyeon is a martial art taught by Byeoksan Yeonga Lord. “I didn’t teach the second half of it, though.”
“Is that the end of the swordsmanship?”
“That’s right.”
Only then did Yang Chen turn around.
Yang Cheon’s eyes were not as intimidating as I thought. However, his expression was serious.
“Again.”
There are no martial arts people who easily hand over information to others. This is because, if done incorrectly, the inside may be shattered by the dark mirror coming through the vein.
But Kang Ryang obediently stretched out his arms.
Yang Cheon checked Kang Ryang’s insides through his veins.
After a while.
“Is that the Ghost King Jinki?”
“That’s right.”
“What a feat. “It truly deserves to be called the most prestigious school in Heukdo.”
Yang Chen spoke to his subordinates.
“Preserve the site. “Don’t let anyone in here.”
“I follow your orders!”
“Baek Seo and Deputy Yeon, please talk to me. “You too, Gangryang.”
Yang Cheon, who came to Daejeon, did not sit in the royal palace.
He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.
“white book. Do you have any idea why the third child got to that point?”
“I apologize. “I don’t know, but…”
“I don’t know, but there must be a martial arts skill that comes to mind right away.”
“That’s right.”
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong spoke.
“It is a type of Absorption Great Law. My guess is that it’s probably the same type as Sahyukgong (死吸功).”
Baek Seo looked at Yeon Ho Jeong with surprised eyes.
“Do you know about Sasukgong?”
“I know.”
“It’s amazing.”
Yang Chen nodded.
“It’s just as you said. “That is a type of suction attack that has minimal side effects among the suction energy techniques and can only be used when internal energy is almost completely lost.”
Heupseongdaebeop itself was a martial art that was rarely found.
The reason was simple. This is because it is a martial arts technique stained with fatal side effects.
Absorbing energy was a technique to increase one’s own strength by absorbing the opponent’s internal energy.
However, the absorbed internal power conflicted with the caster’s internal power, and there was a high probability that the caster would be intoxicated or take his or her life.
If the power was strong, it was a martial artist to learn at least rare magic techniques. However, even the martial arts people who risk their lives on strength do not practice Heupseongdaebeop.
The reason was simple. Because there is nothing good about learning it.
Even if you suck out your inner energy, there is a high probability that you will die or become a ruined person, and even if you succeed, you will become a martial arts enemy. No matter how much you want to become stronger, there is no reason to take that much of a risk.
There was a time when the absorption method was popular, but it waned after a few years.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that there are no people who have learned the Heukseong Daebeop these days. There were many cases where the younger generation did not even know about the existence of a martial art called Heupseongdaebeop.
However, if it is a sucking hole, it is a different story.
“Even a body that has been subjected to the Great Absorption Method will still have at least some energy left behind. Even more so if it’s a corpse that’s only been dead for half an hour.”
“That’s right.”
“Sahyukgong is different. In a sense, Sahyukgong is a martial art of healing. When one’s inner energy and vitality have been severely reduced, it seeks temporary explosive recovery by absorbing the inner energy and vitality of others.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“Then it means that someone in the Ink Dragon Club is in danger of death.”
“…yes.”
“There is no physical evidence, but there is one person who is concerned.”
Yang Chen closed his eyes.
“white book.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Unleash your troops and capture the eldest child.”
