Episode 972
The time has come (2)
Exciting!
My heart started beating strongly. I felt heat rising all over my face, starting from the nape of my neck.
Yaharuk glared at Yeonwi.
Yeonwi’s face was still calm. However, his eyes were cold enough to immediately cool down the burning emotions of the leader.
“What do you mean?”
“Do you think what I said to you so far had any great meaning?”
“….”
“It’s a straightforward question. “I wonder whether you are from a religious cult or a small religious cult.”
Yaharuk’s eyelids fluttered.
“You…”
“Even though I thought I knew well the darkness of my power, I tried to live my life correctly. “I thought that if I started reaching into that darkness, I would also turn black.”
“….”
“But that wasn’t it. I was just clumsy. “It’s just that I didn’t have the confidence or the will to handle that darkness.”
“….”
“Real people are different. Those with a subjectivity close to faith throw themselves into the darkness without hesitation and leave behind seeds of brilliance.”
The person Yeonwi is thinking of right now is her son Yeonhojeong.
When was it in the past? He felt an indescribable sense of discomfort as he saw his son horribly chopping up a Shinhwa cult leader.
I feel like my son is no longer the son I knew.
I am worried that my son’s mind may become devastated in the future if he continues to use that kind of hand.
In fact, Yeonhojeong at that time was at a loss. Although he clearly knew what he had to do, he couldn’t gauge the extent of his anger, so he wandered.
But now it’s different.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who has achieved great martial arts skills and mental growth, has the qualifications to come back clean even if he throws himself into blood and darkness.
In fact, it was Yeonwi himself who did not have the qualifications.
In fact, it would be rare even if you searched the whole world to find someone who could do something like that and still be sane, regardless of their level of martial arts.
“You too. “You are more unsuited to darkness than I am.”
“….”
“That’s why if you ask even the slightest sharp question, you get so embarrassed and a mark appears on your face.”
Yaharuk almost put his hand to his face without realizing it.
Yeonwi, who was quietly looking at him, soon smiled.
“Let’s go in and have a drink.”
Yaharuk was taken aback by Yeonwi’s words.
Clearly this guy knows something. In that case, it would be okay to use his hands right away, but he suggests that we have a drink.
Yaharuk, who was confused by the incomprehensible situation, soon hardened his expression.
“Did you know?”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t play with words. Did you know?”
“I honestly don’t know. “But I knew as soon as I saw you that something was strange.”
“If I knew it as soon as I saw it, it means there was something suspicious even before I saw it.”
Is it because I emptied my mind?
Yaharuk’s voice no longer wavered. It was calm and heavy.
However, Yeonwi did not miss the subtle tension in the voice.
“Before I first entered the palace, I was able to feel your prayers, even though I was obscured by the mighty power of the Shinhwa cult leader.”
Yaharuk’s eyes shook slightly.
It is said that he felt it before entering the palace, not after.
It was a remark that could not just be ignored. It was only long after Yeonwi entered the palace that Yaharuk was able to feel his fierce sword energy.
‘Is this a lie?’
It’s not a lie.
Yaharuk knew it intuitively. Yeonwi is not the kind of person who would tell lies about something like that.
“I didn’t know at the time. But the closer I got to your presence, the more the Shinhwa cultist’s prayers wavered, the more I began to focus on your prayers.”
“….”
“It felt unstable for some reason.”
“It was unstable?”
“Qi (氣) is a thought, and the power that arouses a thought is the human mind. “It is an absolute truth that no expert can avoid.”
“…!”
“It has been a while since I reached this level, but I have never seen anyone who has reached such a high level and whose spirit is as shaken as you. “It wasn’t even injured, but it was shaking like a lantern in the wind.”
Yaharuk didn’t even know what his condition was.
“and.”
Yeonwi’s eyes deepened.
“I could feel it. “The fire energy rising from your residence.”
“…?!”
“It was a strange weapon that neither you nor the Shinhwa cult leader possessed. To begin with, it wasn’t an energy worthy of being contained in a human body. “The concentration was low, but there was something stimulating about it.”
Yaharuk could not contain his astonishment.
“You… felt that?”
It was clear that the fire that Yeonwi felt was the art of speaking.
It is impossible to feel the presence of a fireworksman from such a distance. Even if Gi Cheon-woong’s upper body was fine right now, it would be difficult to know if he had not completed the spiritual eye.
It was not just a guess, but a belief close to certainty. But the continent’s prosecutor felt that.
“lie!”
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. “Actually, that’s not even important.”
Contrary to what Yeonwi said, the matter was very important to Yaharuk.
If liaison is possible, someone else can too. If there is a study unique to martial arts that cannot be understood through the martial arts of the Shinhwa religion, it will be difficult to properly practice the art of speaking in the future.
However, with Yeonwi’s next words, Yaharuk was able to face reality.
“Aren’t you prepared to die?”
“…!”
“I could feel it. I must have made some great determination. He is a master of martial arts who has the determination to shake his heart and even his true spirit…”
Ugh.
A small resonating sound rang out from Yaharuk’s body.
Although it wasn’t opened, Yeonwi already felt her face heating up from the hot fire.
It was truly an incredible feat. If you make up your mind and open the pores, immediately the land within a radius of a dozen fields will groan with merciless fire.
Yeonwi said without embarrassment.
“I don’t know what you’re going to do, but let’s just calm down and have a drink.”
There was no way Yeonwi didn’t know what was going on.
Now Yeonwi was giving Yaharuk a chance. Since no one knows yet, let’s have a drink. Have a drink and calm down.
‘….’
I was so confused that I forgot who I was, but Yaharuk was not a stupid person.
How can you not know that the other person is giving you a chance and is advising you not to fall down an irreversible path?
Yaharuk, who was quietly looking at Yeonwi, smiled bitterly.
Yeonwi, seeing that smile, sighed inwardly.
“Yeongaju.”
“Please speak.”
“You are a pretty good person.”
“….”
“At the same time, he is a very stupid person. “If it were me, I would have sensed something and made a surprise attack at the same time.”
“Can’t you change your mind?”
“Thank you for your thoughts. If nothing else, I could tell that you had some kind of kindness for me. “If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have tried to make you feel comfortable like this.”
“….”
“Of course, that favor was also for the future of Jungwon.”
Yaharuk’s eyes turned towards the royal palace.
Yeonwi’s face turned cold.
“Don’t do that.”
“It looks like the leader is leaving.”
“….”
“The leader also has anger. “I sense that he is withdrawing from his presence and heading toward his abode.”
“….”
“Of course he can feel me too. But you won’t feel any discomfort from me.”
This meant that even if he ran with all his might to kill the emperor from here, the leader would not be able to stop him.
“Thank you for bringing me here.”
“….”
“And I’m sorry. “I won’t ask you to understand or do anything for the greater good.”
Yaharuk suddenly looked at Yeonwi’s body.
“It’s strange. “Your abilities are clearly at par, but your military power is not up to par.”
Yeonwi looked at Yaharuk in silence.
Yaharuk also stopped talking and glared at Yeonwi.
How much time has passed like that?
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The tension that erupted in an instant sent Yeonwi’s body flying beyond the five walls.
Paaaaaaaaaa!
Yaharuk, who sent Yeonwi flying away, unfolded the divine method of flying the fire god.
‘It’s been a while.’
The moment I hit the ground, I had already passed a few buildings and saw the royal palace in the distance.
It was truly a tremendous new law.
However, even though the distance was narrowed in an instant with that great divine method, Yaharuk felt like time was passing slowly.
‘This is my first time.’
The Divine Law of Hwashinbisang was a Divine Law of Super Ascension that only three people in the Shinhwa Church had mastered.
And this divine law was a martial art that was directly taught to him by Shinhwa cult leader Ki Cheon-woong.
‘This is the first time I’ve used this divine law with all my might.’
Furthermore, it will be the last.
Your life will be lost in this one mission.
Yaharuk, who reached the front of the royal palace in an instant, suddenly saw the main gate of the palace.
‘….’
There was no one.
There was no sign of popularity from the gatekeepers guarding the palace gate or even from the maids.
It felt strange, but now was the time to act. He climbed over the palace wall in one go.
It was then.
‘…?’
Yaharuk, who was flying high in the sky, felt his body jerk to a halt.
He looked down.
‘…!!’
Yaharuk’s eyes began to flutter.
Phew.
I was trapped by an unknown force, but it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t break free with Yaharuk’s power. Nevertheless, he could not proceed into the royal palace.
Slurp.
He freed himself from his shackles through intense inner strength and landed in the middle of the fishway.
And in front of him.
Gi Cheon-woong was sitting alone on the stairs leading up to the royal palace, drinking.
Yaharuk, seeing Ki Cheon-woong, closed his eyes.
“Whoa.”
Ki Cheon-woong put down the liquor bottle and wiped the liquor from his mouth.
“The drink tastes good.”
“….”
“Good night, nice weather. Maybe it’s because it’s the emperor’s drink, but it’s not an ordinary famous liquor. “I feel like taking a few coins and stacking them up.”
Gi Cheon-woong smiled bitterly.
“Well, even if I wanted to pile it up, I don’t have a place to store it right now.”
“….”
“Look at your kidneys.”
“…Sir.”
“Why are you standing so quietly?”
Yaharuk slowly opened his eyes.
Ki Cheon-woong’s figure, sitting in the middle of the high stairs and looking down at himself, was as full of dignity and dignity as he had always seen.
Gi Cheon-woong said calmly.
“Would you like to come up and have a drink with me?”
“….”
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Master.”
“Now that I think about it, you don’t even show any courtesy to me.”
Gi Cheon-woong looked at Yaharuk with incomprehensible eyes.
Yaharuk couldn’t say anything. He just looked at Ki Cheon-woong with helpless, complex eyes.
How much time has passed?
“Since when did you know?”
Ki Cheon-woong’s calm face gradually became colder.
It was a cruel expression that Yaharuk had never shown before. Yaharuk never thought that he would see the leader’s face like that.
It was then.
I’m sorry.
The palace gate was opened.
Refreshing yet heavy steps.
Yaharuk turned his head.
Before I knew it, Yeonwi was walking with a calm expression, holding the imperial sword in his arms.
Even though it was hit by the force of a surprise attack, there seemed to be no problem. Although it may have been a hasty blow, it would have been powerful enough to make even a master of martial arts cough up blood. Except for the slight scorching of his sleeves, he looked fine.
Yeonwi sighed and said.
“I will sprinkle the drink you were able to drink in this world on the banks of the Samdocheon River leading to the afterlife.”
