◈Episode 718.
Report of Enlightenment (8)
Two days later.
“Are you here?”
“yes.”
Paeyul looked behind Mukbi.
A while after the silence, Jinyang was walking with the blue dragon sword on his shoulder.
After the war ended, Paeyul did not talk to Jinyang. This was because I wasn’t very social in the first place and there was no reason to talk.
I thought about Paeyul again.
‘It’s really big.’
This is not a metaphor; it is actually seven feet tall.
It had broad shoulders and its arms and legs were thick and long like logs. It truly felt like a general.
Moreover, he even held the Blue Dragon and Moon Sword in his hand.
‘also.’
Paeyul’s eyes deepened.
‘It’s not normal.’
A shaky gait that doesn’t suit his size.
But the prayers captured are beyond imagination. Even if life and death were decided right away, it seemed impossible to guarantee the outcome.
‘It’s amazing.’
At first glance, it seems like he must be thirty now.
I knew that there were many geniuses in the world, but the area around Yeonhojeong seemed to be full of only monsters. If an elder of Jeomchang at that age is so powerless that it is difficult to discuss the winner, what an incredible talent he must be.
Moreover, if you can compare it to yourself, who went beyond martial arts and created a new martial art…
“It’s scary.”
Tension appeared on Kang Ryang’s face.
“Where on earth did such a strong, monstrous person come out?”
It was still quite far away, but the voice was far enough to be heard.
chuck.
Jinyang looked at Kangryang.
The eyes of the two people collided in the air, sparking invisible sparks.
An expression of admiration that could not be hidden appeared on Jinyang’s face.
‘what? ‘I think he’s younger than me.’
Even if I don’t do it, I feel like I’m four or five years younger. However, it is a prayer that has already achieved a family with the sword.
That wasn’t all.
The owner of the red spear who led the Jongnam War and the owner of the two-pointed short spear whose winner is difficult to predict no matter how you look at it.
There was even a woman with a red bow who came out to meet her.
‘Once again, really…’
There are only monsters.
Jinyang cleared his throat and said.
“My name is Jinyang. “I came after sorting out the clan.”
Aside from his strength and size, his speech is quite rough.
Pae-yul snorted and Hwang Seok-tae just nodded.
Jinyang, feeling embarrassed for no reason, scratched his head.
Kang Ryang said.
“It’s strong.”
“Strength? “A noble sword?”
“I guess I’m famous.”
“Everything is famous. “It’s impossible not to know the successor to the Black Island First Swordsman.”
Jinyang smiled without realizing it.
“A descendant of a demonic sword, a master from the Mukryongbu, an elder from the nine sects, and a military commander of the Murim Alliance… what kind of combination is this?”
If you think about it, it’s quite surprising. We’re a group that just happened to come together naturally, but if we look at each aspect one by one, is there any other group that’s so unique?
Jin Yang asked Mo Fei.
“Anyway, what about that guy…?”
It was then.
Phew!
A soft prayer flowed from far beyond the forest.
Jinyang’s eyes deepened.
‘what.’
A prayer that is both familiar and extremely unfamiliar.
For a moment, Jinyang’s eyes widened.
“uh? Concentrate?”
It was as he said.
The person who slowly appeared between the trees was So Jeong-gwang. And Yeon Ho-jeong was following behind him.
“…?!”
Jinyang looked surprised.
That wasn’t all. Both Mukbi and Kangryang Paeyul, who remembered the energy of Byeoknajingyeol, were surprised. At least Hwang Seok-tae was the only one who maintained his composure.
Slurp.
So Jeong-gwang came close to the group and stopped walking.
He looked somehow tired. However, it was nothing compared to before when lice occurred throughout the body. An energy that had not yet been resolved was gently spreading out, and its concentration was terrifying.
“…Concentration.”
“Are you here?”
So Jeong-gwang smiled.
“Did you do a good job organizing your faction?”
“uh? Wow, good job. But… what happened to you?”
“That’s it.”
“What’s going on? “Did you learn any other martial arts?”
“uh.”
“men and horses! Who did you learn martial arts from? What are you going to do if something goes wrong…!”
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong spoke.
“I don’t teach martial arts or anything like that.”
Jinyang gasped without even realizing it! I closed my mouth and made a sound.
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile.
“To me, your change seems much greater than this guy who changed his martial arts skills. “The look and prayer are completely different from back then.”
“….”
“I worked hard to get here. “I thought you’d come yesterday, but you’re a little late.”
Jinyang, who was embarrassed, soon regained her calm.
“I had drinks with the guys who came with me once.”
“Yes, that is absolutely necessary. “Are your colleagues in town?”
“exactly.”
“If you will join me, your colleagues will be my colleagues.”
“….”
We will be together.
There was no other way since we had already sorted out our clan.
But the answer did not come out of Jinyang’s mouth easily.
It was the same reason So Jeong-gwang wanted to know the truth. Because of Yeonhojeong’s actions, I reflected on myself and organized my faction, but when I arrived, I didn’t know what to say.
Jinyang, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, suddenly spoke.
“I think he’s younger than me.”
“You’re young. Instead, I’m stronger than you.”
Jinyang sighed.
“That’s the f*cking problem.”
If you can end the relationship after a heated fight, that is also a good idea.
But there was no fight with Yeon Ho-jeong. Even if we decided to stick together, it was clearly visible that we wouldn’t be able to hold on even ten or even five and would collapse.
thud!
Jinyang said as he pinned the blue dragon sword to the ground.
“Jeong-gwang is not a fool. “He’s a good martial artist, but if he was foolish enough to just accept it, he wouldn’t have been able to raise Hwaungmun like that.”
“okay.”
“It seems like Jeong Gwang’s heart has been won, but I haven’t yet.”
“know.”
“Do you know what I want?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
“I know this one thing. “You need a sanctuary to share your feelings.”
“…!”
“If we work together, I will take responsibility. Play as much as you like within that fence. “In exchange, I will receive your power in exchange for providing you with shelter.”
Jinyang’s eyes sparkled.
“What are you going to do with my power?”
“We will destroy foreign enemies and contribute to peace.”
“Yuck! “It’s a line only savants say.”
“The reason what the saennims say sounds childish is because no one has been able to make such obvious statements come true.”
“…?!”
“I leave the peace of future generations to future generations. But we can prevent a war that will break out right before our eyes.”
“….”
“There are people you want to protect, too.”
Jinyang’s eyes wavered.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“Each of those people came together and became the world. “Protecting the world means protecting the people you want to protect.”
“….”
“Run wild until the war ends. “At least I guarantee that your power won’t go somewhere far away.”
“And what if it falls off?”
“I won’t let you die.”
“…I really like what you say.”
Jinyang pulled out the Blue Dragon Sword and draped it proudly over his shoulder.
“If it looks like a dog in the middle, it will run out right away.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Even if I die, I won’t have to leave.”
“I eat a lot. “If you make a spider web down your throat, your eyes will roll, so keep that in mind.”
“It may sound like something I don’t even mean, but I understand.”
“Tsk.”
In this way, Jinyang and So Jeonggwang became members of Yeon Hojeong’s group.
Yeon Ho-jeong formally introduced the two people to the group. The only person with social skills was Kang Ryang, so the atmosphere was still very awkward.
When we exchanged small greetings like that.
Wow!
There was someone climbing the mountain.
Jinyang and Sojeonggwang and Kangryang’s eyes sparkled.
At that time, Hwang Seok-tae woke up.
“You came from the department.”
A moment later, a man in a black mask knelt in front of Hwang Seok-tae.
“I see you, Master of the Iron Blade and Lieutenant.”
“I’m going back to wealth. “What’s going on?”
“I brought you orders from the Vice lord to come quickly.”
“okay?”
“We had a post station at every middle base. “We will all be able to reach it within three days with agile horses.”
Hwang Seok-tae looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face hardened.
“If it’s necessary to send someone, something must have happened.”
“I have to go quickly.”
“That’s right.”
The group quickly descended the mountain following the masked man, stopping at the Julu station under the Mukryongbu and riding horses.
What the masked man said was correct. The horses the group rode all had good endurance and high speed.
Three days passed in an instant like that.
I kept sleeping and eating to a minimum and focused only on running, so before I knew it, Mukryongbu was just around the corner.
Hee hee hee!
A thousand cavalry in light armor were approaching from afar.
A smile appeared on Hwang Seok-tae’s face.
“It’s been a while.”
“Danju!”
The Iron Team that was approaching in line all stopped speaking and everyone got down to the ground and kneeled.
“Cheolgi Dan meets Lord Dan!”
It was a loud voice that shook the whole area.
Hwang Seok-tae raised the Red Dragon Spear. Then everyone in the Iron Team got back on their horses.
“It looks like they came to meet you… hmm?”
“….”
“Adjutant Yeon?”
Yeonhojeong was not looking at the iron foundation, but toward the cliff on the mountain far to the left.
“Adjutant Yeon.”
“Go in first.”
“what?”
Hwang Seok-tae was embarrassed.
“The vice-lord told me to come quickly.”
“That gentleman is over there.”
“huh?”
Yeon Ho-jeong got off the horse.
“It looks like you want to see me separately. “You keep sending me energy.”
“…!”
Yeon Ho-jeong said to Muk-bi.
“Go in first and rest. “I’ll go in after meeting the manager.”
“yes. See you later.”
“okay. “Don’t get into trouble for no reason.”
“When do you say I had an accident?”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed at Jinyang with his chin.
“If you go, feed that guy first. “My cheeks are sticking out.”
“A risk!”
“then.”
Paaaaaa!
Yeon Ho-jeong moved away in an instant.
Even though it was completely open, it quickly became a dot. It was a new law that was hard to believe even after seeing it.
Jinyang said, trying hard to hide his surprise.
“At that speed, why should I ride the horse to start first?”
Hwang Seok-tae said with a grin.
“egg plant.”
Paralalalak!
The Cheonjong operation fee, which was held for the first time in a long time, made Yeonhojeong like a hawk.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who climbed the mountain at breakneck speed and reached the cliff, saw Yang Cheon sitting on a flat rock and working alone.
hook!
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
‘It’s different as expected.’
Yangcheon’s state, which I was vaguely aware of, was clearly felt as I watched the play with open eyes.
‘It’s truly a monster.’
I felt like I had done a good job beating that kind of person and building a black castle. After that, his skills got better than Yang Cheon, but when I think about it now, it seemed like he was really reckless in his actions.
However, his surprise was new compared to Yang Chen.
“I did it just in case.”
Yang Chen slowly emptied the glass and quietly shook the bottle.
“There’s something that’s been bothering me since this morning. “I thought it was because of the current situation… but it was because of you.”
“….”
“When did you notice the energy I sent?”
“Oh Ri(五里).”
“Oh Li…”
Yang Chen let out a laugh.
“I knew it would grow big, but I had no idea it would reach that point.”
Yeon Ho-jeong slowly walked in front of Yang Cheon and took the gun.
“Adjutant Yeon Ho-jeong has returned.”
“Welcome back.”
“You’re welcome.”
Yangcheon, who was quietly looking at Yeonhojeong, sighed deeply.
“Are you not planning on relocating?”
“What do you mean?”
“I will give you enough money for three generations to live on. “Please join the headquarters.”
“I am still a member of the Inkryong Club.”
“What about the position of successor?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“You shouldn’t say something like that, even if it’s a joke.”
“I know. “You shouldn’t say things like this, even as a joke, but you’re making me do it.”
Yang Chen sighed.
“The treasured sword that I can hold and swing has been transformed into a divine sword, so why can’t I be purely happy?”
“Be careful not to get cut.”
“You’re noisy, you idiot! “Come and get a glass.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and sat across from Yang Cheon.
Yang Chen said as he filled his glass.
“You really had a hard time.”
“thank you.”
The two clinked glasses for the first time in a long time.
“It’s been a lot of hard work, but now I have something else to think about.”
“I knew so. “What happened again?”
Yang Chen’s eyes lit up.
“A guy with wings on his feet has appeared in the world.”
“…Biwang.”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed his head.
“Where are you?”
“Wudang Mountain.”
“Damn it.”
“What are you going to do? Would you like to go sometime?”
“Can’t we get some rest?”
“Okay, you need to get some rest. That’s why…”
Yang Chen chuckled.
“I’m thinking about going this time.”
