Episode 574
The shadow was dark (6)
How much alcohol did you drink?
Prince Moyong’s face was pale. Even then, seeing as his eyes were twinkling like morning stars, it seemed like drinking wasn’t a big problem.
“…?”
Eonjabang’s eyes, as he was looking out the window, sparkled sharply for an instant.
“Did you feel it?”
Moyong-gun raised his glass and said.
“You said you’d be here soon.”
After a while, someone passed by the window where they were.
A person who passed by so naturally. He disappeared from the sight of the two in an instant.
And in that moment, a small piece of paper was placed at the end of the table between the two people.
Even if you were paying attention to the two people the whole time, it was such a natural and secretive movement that you wouldn’t have noticed. Eonjabang inwardly clicked his tongue.
‘That’s amazing.’
Even though all it takes is passing a note, you can see the power of openness.
Even Eonjabang, a transcendent expert, almost missed the movement even though his eyes were wide open. Indeed, it seems that the high level of martial arts does not mean that he is fluent in all the movements in the world.
Eonjabang handed a note to Moyonggun.
Moyong-gun opened the note.
“…indeed.”
Moyong-gun leaned his arm against the window.
Srurr.
Clear water was dripping from the palm of his left arm as he leaned against the window. The energy was collected and extracted through internal power.
Suddenly, Moyong’s face regained its original color.
“It’s moving slowly.”
“Where?”
“It’s nearby. “It just happened to be the right path.”
“Do you think a battle will break out right away?”
“I think that’s probably true.”
The corners of Eonjabang’s mouth rose.
“let’s go.”
Moyong-gun chuckled.
“It’s been a long time since we fought, so don’t be too pushy.”

“They did a good job making it in a place like this.”
The building built in the thick forest was quite large.
It was a three-story building, and behind it was a stream. Although it looked different from the building where I first met Song Ha-shini, it was almost the same size.
Song Ha-ni’s face hardened.
“Eun-gong.”
“It would be better for you to stay here.”
“No, that won’t happen. “Shouldn’t I check their behavior myself?”
“Are you okay?”
“of course.”
It won’t be okay at all.
But I still have to go. Song Ha-ni made up her mind and Yeon Ho-jeong respected her wishes.
“All right. Then, please follow me from the rear.”
“…I will do that.”
She realized that she could not exert much power in actual battle. It was unfortunate, but now was not the time to be stubborn.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the party hall.
“Can you feel it?”
“okay.”
“It’s underground.”
It was a fairly large building, but the basement was where most people truly gathered.
The signs of popularity were very faint. Since we dug into the basement and created a separate room, it won’t be easy for even the best experts to get caught.
“It would be better to attack them one by one, starting from the top.”
The official frowned.
“You’re using me quite a bit.”
“You’re the kind of person who can easily take care of those guys, right? From a strategic point of view, it will take a lot of time if the head of the family does not step forward.”
“You must be young.”
That’s what they said, but the official also knew. The surprise attack from the first battle showed that he was the right fit.
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a hardened face.
“You must never use extreme poison from the third floor to the first floor. There could be civilians.”
“Don’t worry about anything, just relax.”
“Then please do me a favor.”
Sreuk.
As soon as he finished speaking, the official disappeared from the spot.
Paeyul stuck out his tongue.
“This is truly a great new law.”
The new method of jeomchang is also fast and irregular, suitable for actual use.
However, our new law was on a different level. It may be a matter of realization of the divine law rather than the difference in the martial arts itself.
Hwang Seok-tae asked.
“All of the party members are skilled in divine law, right?”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“Of course it is. They are the ones who use poison and memorization. “It would be difficult to find people as sensitive as they are when it comes to measuring distances.”
“hmm.”
Hwang Seok-tae was interested in the Tang family’s cancer technology ever since he fought against Samhyeondae.
It wasn’t meant to be learned. After this battle was over, we would head straight to Dangga, and it was no exaggeration to say that Sichuan Dangga was one of the most dangerous places in the entire martial forest.
If you want to fight there, it’s important to know your opponent well.
‘Moreover, it is unfamiliar terrain to us. Ever-changing new laws, harsh memorization, and even poison. If a battle breaks out, we will be helpless.’
Of course, I had no intention of being treated quietly.
Hwang Seok-tae’s eyes lit up.
‘Poison and memorization or new law. The battle will be easier if you block at least two of the three.’
After a while.
Slurp.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
Before I knew it, I felt like I had reached the top of a three-story building, passed through the third and second floors, and reached the first floor.
“let’s go.”
Faaagh!
The group quickly reached the entrance to the building.
It was then.
Piiiiiiiing!
All kinds of memorizations came pouring out from all over the forest along with an eerie sound.
Yeon Ho-jeong swung his sword as if he had been waiting. The Gyoryongsae, which had absorbed as much internal energy as it had, stretched to a length of over fifteen pieces.
Chiri-ri-ri-li-li-ring!
I swung the long iron chain like lightning, and before I knew it, the iron chain formed a huge hemisphere and bounced off the memorized weapons.
Gangryang whistled softly.
“You’re amazing.”
Cheer ring!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had collected the Gyoryongsae, looked around.
‘also.’
The party quickly climbed the tree and headed to the top of the building in an instant.
However, the group confidently jumped headfirst. Memorizations from the organization that captured it were poured out to the group.
‘It is an organ that is difficult to avoid or block even for the best expert. This is Tangga’s work.’
Yeon Ho-jeong walked in the lead.
Memories fired from all directions were not fired again after that.
I’m sorry.
The first floor gate opened, revealing the hotel. His face was as cold as ice.
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed back with his thumb.
“What is that?”
“It is a silver-shaped flying explosion.”
“Silver scattering explosion?”
“It is one of the memorization organ devices. “It is an institution that was created a hundred years ago and is still being improved to this day.”
The more he spoke, the colder his voice became.
Even though I controlled my mind, the family’s secret secret revealed itself in a place like this. I couldn’t help but be angry.
Yeon Ho-jeong entered the main gate.
“You should never release poison underground.”
“know.”
The group entered the paradise.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“Strength.”
Faaagh!
As soon as his name was called, the river moved at an alarming speed.
Sigh! Sigh!
The eerie sound of a decapitated head and blood splattering rang out from all over the first floor.
Among those put to sleep by the government, all those who had trained in martial arts were being killed.
It is literally a war of annihilation. Regardless of personal circumstances, the martial arts people here were planning to send them all to the netherworld.
Sigh! Sigh!
Kang Ryang quickly cleared the first floor and went up to the second floor.
The group looked around the first floor. The purpose was to find a way into the basement.
“It’s not easy.”
Paeyul frowned.
“Where on earth is the passage…”
Squeak.
For a moment, Paeyul’s steps stopped. The rest of the group did the same.
The group approached Paeyul’s side.
Paeyul put a little pressure on his right foot that was on the floor.
Squeak.
There was a sound again.
“Here it is.”
Hwang Seok-tae lifted up the Jeokryong Shinchang.
“Let’s go in.”
“for a moment.”
“hmm?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“Not here.”
“Why do you think that?”
Then the officer said:
“I can feel the popularity of over 150 people in the basement here. But even though we’ve come this far, there’s a sense of distance to the point where it feels extremely subtle.”
“….”
“It means that the ground between the underground and here is extremely thick. Even if a few fire bombs explode inside, the ground will not collapse immediately.”
Only then did Hwang Seok-tae and Paeyul realize.
There is no way the floor could be made this loose when there is such thick ground in place.
“It’s a trap. “If you open this door hastily, a trap will be triggered immediately.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. “Definitely.”
The officer pointed to his nose with his index finger.
“I can smell the poisonous scent of paradise scent.”
Geukrakhyang was one of the most deadly poisons in Tang Dynasty.
The poison itself has almost no odor. In fact, it is difficult for even a transcendental expert to smell that scent unless he or she is poisonous.
However, the mouth of a person who died due to addiction to the scent of paradise emits a very pleasant floral scent. So the name was Paradise.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“You do a variety of things.”
The first is a silver scattering explosion, the second is paradise.
It may seem flimsy at first glance, but if you come in and leave without permission, you will almost certainly die. Even if you avoid the silver scattering explosion, it will be difficult to avoid paradise.
“If you do that, where on earth is it?”
It was then.
“Let’s ask this guy about that.”
Wow!
Kang Ryang, who came down from the top of the third floor, was carrying three sturdy warriors on his back.
“I didn’t kill him just in case. “These three are the only ones left, so take whatever you can and kill them.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“Good job.”
He pointed out the blood and evil blood of the three people.
Then the officer waved his hand.
“…!”
All three people opened their eyes at the same time.
They looked at each other in surprise. Even though I had demon blood, I was able to move freely above my neck.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“Where is the way down underground?”
“…?!”
The three looked at Yeonhojeong in silence.
Since I’m in pain, of course I can’t say anything. Nevertheless, the reason Yeon Ho-jeong asked for the location was to see the looks in the eyes of the three people.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll just kill them all and drill down to the bottom. “I know where the traps are, so that’s a much cooler method.”
“….”
“Are you willing to tell me?”
Two of the three people’s eyes were shaking wildly.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the warrior on the far right, whose eyes did not waver. His eyes were full of venom, and he was a man who would not open his mouth to even the slightest torture.
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed at him.
“Kill it.”
Faaagh!
A strong iron sword struck diagonally split the man’s upper body.
Fuwaaaaak!
A large amount of fresh blood splattered, and severed internal organs and bone fragments soaked the floor.
The faces of the two remaining warriors turned pale.
Even if you kill someone, you can’t kill them this horribly. The thought that if they didn’t say something, they too would go astray, made them feel bitter.
“You probably don’t need two snouts.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“I will relieve your pain. “I will only spare one person.”
He blew an earth wind.
Sigh! Sigh!
“Wow! Huh! “Huh!”
“Gasp! W Not here!”
At that moment, a strong sword flashed.
Flash!
The head of the warrior on the far left, who was just out of breath, was blown off.
The face of the last surviving warrior was stained with extreme fear. He was appalled by the group’s brutal and bloody murder.
Yeon Ho-jeong squatted down in front of the warrior.
“Where are you?”
“We need to get out of this building! “There is a passage by the stream!”
“okay?”
“I’m sure! And it can only be opened with a key! “You have to insert the key correctly and turn it to open it!”
It meant not to kill yourself.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled brightly.
“I like it because it’s quick. “You’re going to live a very long time.”
“Huh! “Huh!”
“Can you guide me?”
“Of course!”
“good. “Let’s go.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Kang Ryang and smiled again.
“You really like this guy. Don’t you?”
Kang Ryang’s body trembled.
He was himself, but Yeon Ho-jeong’s evil seemed to be on a completely different level.
