Episode 800.
Black Emperor (5)
It was a windless world, and the world was in great turmoil as many large-scale accidents had occurred recently.
Among them, a shocking rumor came to Heukdo Murim.
King Pae, the new strongman of Seongcheon, became a disciple of Yangcheon, Lord of the Ink Dragon.
This small rumor, unknown where it started, spread from place to place along the cold winter wind.
Of course, no one seriously believed it.
The reason was clear. Because there were many such rumors in the past.
Although it was not properly revealed until now, Yeon Ho-jeong’s existence had a strong impact on Heukdo Murim from the beginning. As the head of the Murimmaeng Yu military unit, he not only destroyed all the vicious Black Island factions, but also became Sejak and infiltrated the Mukryongbu. After that, he built a gentle relationship with Yangcheon and handled various matters.
In the process, many rumors circulated that Yeon Ho-jeong was Yang Cheon’s disciple. There was even a rumor that Yang Cheon, who secretly taught Yeon Ho-jeong, the son of a famous Baekdo family, from an early age, is only now making proper use of him.
Several years passed and now people knew. There is absolutely no possibility that Yeon Ho-jeong could become Yang Cheon’s disciple.
Yeon Ho-jeong was even a genius among geniuses, the youngest person to be crowned Seongcheon. He may be a warrior born with the most monstrous talent of all time.
There is no way Baekdo would have left such a talented person alone. Considering all the factors, it was impossible for Yeon Ho-jeong to become Yang Cheon’s disciple.
However, when it became known that the heads of the five newly established clans of Black Island under the Mukryongbu had been summoned to the Mukryongbu, people became skeptical.
Afterwards, not only the main creditors of Yanggang Surochae and Noknim Shibachae, but also the southern merchants who were doing business with Mukryongbu gathered in Honam.
It was truly a massive gathering of black island giants. At this level, it would not be surprising if there were rumors that they were preparing for war. In fact, there were rumors like that.
Mukryongbu’s actions make not only the black island martial arts world but also the white island martial arts world uneasy.
A few days later, Yang Cheon’s explosive remarks hit the entire martial arts world.
“We are holding a coronation ceremony for the successor of Mukryongbu, the next master of the Black Island Martial Arts.”
Successor coronation ceremony.
It meant officially appointing the person who would become the next generation master of the Black Island.
It was already publicly known that Mukryongbu’s successor was Buseon, the only remaining disciple among many.
The Black Islanders were both relieved and excited, and many of them were dissatisfied.
I knew that Buseon’s skills were excellent and her talent was great, but I was still dissatisfied with the fact that a woman would be the next Mukryong Buju.
But no one could vent their dissatisfaction.
It was a decision decided by Yang Cheon himself, not anyone else. As he is a giant who has achieved the unification of the Dark Islands, which no one has been able to achieve before, his insight and judgment will be extremely outstanding.
Above all, the dissatisfaction of the black people was nothing more than a vague sense of rejection. Since there was no real reason, they did not dare to make a sound.
And the rumor also entered Baekdo Murim.
Tens of thousands of warblers flew through the sky in the central plains. The world was in an uproar over Mukryongbu’s sudden successor nomination.
In a situation like that, everyone was shocked and staring at the Mukryongbu.
The preparations for the successor coronation ceremony were progressing steadily and very quickly.
* * *
Countless people were gathered in the square of Mukryongbu.
Not only the heads of the five noble families of Heukdo Murim, but also the heads of Surochae and Noklimchae, the southern great merchants, the zodiac gods of the Mukryongbu, and the elders of each unit who do not usually appear were gathered.
Behind them, countless warriors were shouting. Although it was a sudden coronation ceremony, those with positions lined up and those without positions lined up to watch the ceremony.
Although it was a plaza that could accommodate thousands of people, it ended up being an incredibly wide and large cave. Although it was decorated lavishly with night wine and artwork, even the slightest murmur could be heard.
“her! “In these times, there is suddenly a successor coronation ceremony.”
“I think it went well. “It’s better to decide it quickly so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.”
“No matter how much I think about it, it’s too sudden.”
“It’s sudden from our perspective, but haven’t preparations for the successor nomination already been completed?”
“I’m really curious about the reactions of the political factions.”
An uncontrollable voice was rumbling through my bloodstream.
It was a lot more chaotic than expected, but the executives lined up in the center didn’t even blink. He didn’t shout for noise, glare, or show any signs of murder.
Rather, they were very nervous. No one knew where the tension came from.
How much time has passed like that?
“The Vice Lord is coming!”
This is the appearance of the head of Heukdo Moorim, who is more powerful than a thousand words. The mouths of the murmuring warriors suddenly fell silent.
Yangcheon finally appeared inside the dark corridor leading to the square.
Jump and jump.
Yangcheon looked as free-spirited as always.
Since it was a formal event, there were no people riding on palanquins or wearing fancy clothes.
Just like usual.
Wearing a fairly thick long cloth over a black military uniform, he looked very ordinary.
However, even that ordinary outfit looked like the Son of Heaven’s silk clothes due to the atmosphere he created.
What was more important than clothes or etiquette was the confidence that the person exuded.
hook!
It was as if the gigantic ceiling of the cave was lowering little by little, putting pressure on thousands of warriors.
Yangcheon’s prayer, fully revealed, was like a lively lake and at the same time like a rippling sea. As the two conflicting prayers continued to stimulate all directions, both officials and warriors looked at Yang Chen with awe.
Couldn’t he have overcome that enormous pressure and mighty majesty?
The lined up executives all knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads.
“Meet the master of the Black Island Martial Arts!”
It was the worship of the strongest warriors of the Black Island martial arts that resounded loudly all around.
At the same time, thousands of warriors also kneeled without realizing it.
“Meet the master of the Black Island Martial Arts!”
There was a terrible tremor as if the entire cave would collapse. It was a more shocking and loud voice than any other statement.
Sreuk.
The sound of long guns dragging the ground rang in the warriors’ ears.
The sight of Yang Cheon silently walking to the Taesa Temple in the center seemed to clearly show what it was like to be a warrior walking in the sky.
“hmm.”
Yang Cheon, who was sitting in the royal palace, looked down at the audience.
When the leader of the Black Islands appeared, no one followed him.
He has always fought alone. From the bottom with his bare hands until he rose to the top of the Black Swordsman, only his own two fists were the only thing that protected him.
So he came out alone. And his appearance lit a fire in the hearts of all the warriors here.
Yang Chen opened his mouth.
“Raise your heads.”
Slurp.
As if it had been planned in advance, the officers and warriors stood up at the same time.
Yang Chen smiled. Even though he smiled comfortably in official settings, his dignity did not fade.
“It may seem useless at first glance, but any organization needs appropriate etiquette.”
The air screamed at the heavy voice.
“However, I will not be formal when appointing a successor to the headquarters today. No, in the first place, I never established a reasonable etiquette. “I knew it was necessary, but I didn’t think it suited us today.”
Yang Chen’s voice was like magic. The voice that conveyed that strong presence penetrated everyone’s ears and touched their hearts.
“We always walked in low places. All we needed was two fists and a knife. “It was that way before and it is still that way now.”
Why?
Yang Cheon’s voice, full of dignity and confidence, began to have an unknown vagueness.
“But in the future we must change. We should not be deceived by the familiar and treat change as something negative. “The world is always changing, and in line with the changing world, we must also turn our eyes to a better future in order to survive.”
Yang Chen closed his eyes.
“If you don’t like it, you have to change the world yourself. I did so. But as time passed, I realized. I changed the world, but in the end, I also changed. “If I don’t change, I can’t change the world.”
These were words that fully contained the hardships he had experienced in life in the past.
Yang Chen opened his eyes.
“I will change again. And my successor will lead changes beyond me. “I believe and am convinced of that.”
Excited!
Everyone’s hearts were beating strongly.
Yang Chen nodded.
“The one who will become the master of the new era must reveal himself.”
Kugugoogung!
As soon as Yang Cheon finished speaking, the stone wall facing Yang Cheon moved.
The executives did not move. But thousands of warriors turned their heads towards that place.
Jump and jump.
A tall, well-dressed woman walked out.
Everyone’s eyes sparkled. She was a vice ship.
Buseon walked to the bottom of the stairs with unwavering steps and lowered his head.
‘…!’
The warriors prepared to cheer. Everyone clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.
but.
“…?”
Buseon, who greeted Yang Cheon, immediately stepped aside and stood with his hands clasped together.
A look of puzzlement appeared on the warriors’ faces. The executives’ expressions were still tense.
It was then.
Hwaaaaaaaaa!
Suddenly, a terrifying energy began to flow from inside the open stone door.
Everyone was astonished by the storm-like intensity. The concentration of this energetic energy was no less than that of the majesty exuded by Yang Cheon.
If Yangcheon’s energy was heavy and cold, the energy emanating from inside the stone gate was hot and fierce. Because they were so contradictory, they harmonized with the energy of Yangcheon.
And then a young man appeared from the stone gate.
Slurp.
The young man’s attire was similar to Yangcheon’s.
Without any flashy decorations, he just wore a long gun over his black military uniform.
However, his unwavering presence and majestic eyes became the silk clothes that adorned him.
No, if you look at it another way, there was actually something that adorned him.
Oooooh!
The translucent energy of the four colors coming out from all over seemed very sacred. Although he did not fit into the black sword, he had an extremely excellent appearance as someone who would become the master of the new era.
“…!!”
Thousands of warriors who confirmed his presence were astonished.
Cold sweat dripped down the stiff faces of the executives who felt his energy.
Leaving them behind, the young man walked the red carpet and stood in front of the stairs, looking up at Yang Chen.
The eyes of the two people intertwined in midair.
Yang Chen nodded.
The young man got down on one knee.
“Yeon Ho-jeong from Gangdong meets Master.”
