Episode 565
âBrother!â
When Pyo-wol left the jewon top, Soma greeted him with a smile.
âletâs go!â
âhuh!â
The two walked the streets shoulder to shoulder.
Except for the top of the memorial, which was crowded with mourners, the night streets were generally quiet.
âHi-Hi!â
Soma burst into laughter.
It was because it felt good to meet Pyowol after a long time. But his laugh soon faded.
It was because of those who silently blocked their way.
Ten warriors who radiate unusual momentum.
They blocked the path of Pyowol and Soma.
As Pyowol looked at him in silence, one of them stepped forward.
âSomeone wants to see you.â
ââ¦â
âI donât want to cause trouble. So please follow me quietly.â
The manâs voice was very low. So, it made the listener feel psychological pressure.
Not only was his voice low-pitched, but the implicit radiance from his body was also amazing.
The momentum was so strong that it felt like an iron wall was standing in front of my eyes.
It was because the opponents were Pyowol and Soma, but if it was someone else, I wouldnât have been able to straighten my hamstrings at the momentum he radiated.
Pyowol asked the man.
âYour name?â
âYou wonât even hear it. Because I hardly ever worked in Gangho.â
âI still want to hear it.â
âThis is Lee Ki-myeong.â
âDid you come out of Cheonmujang?â
âRelated, but not from Cheonmujang.â
âIt looks like it was raised to protect Zhang Wu-geuk.â
ââ¦â
Lee Gi-myeong remained silent.
His silence soon became the answer.
Cheonmujang had tremendous power like Yi Kang in the world. However, such enormous power could not be moved easily.
This is because another superpower called Gwangmumun is holding them in check.
When Cheonmujang moves, Gwangmumun also moves in response.
It was impossible to move large-scale troops unless they saw a match.
It was the same with Gwangmumun.
Their every move was being watched by the Cheonmujang. Because of this, I couldnât send all my power to the river.
Cheonmujang set up several camouflage gates to avoid Gwangmumunâs surveillance.
After dispatching the core personnel of Cheonmujang, he raised the camouflage faction by providing funds.
Lee Gi-myung was one of the warriors raised in the Camouflage Moonpa.
Early on, his talent was recognized, and he was taught excellent magic and jeolhak. As a result, he was able to achieve achievement comparable to the brilliant talents in Cheonmujang.
Because of that, I was very proud of myself.
he asked.
âWhat are you going to do? I want you to follow me obediently.â
âIf you refuse, are you saying youâre going to subdue at least by force?â
âI hope that doesnât happen.â
It was expressed euphemistically, but it meant that he would use force if necessary.
Pyo-wol looked into Lee Ki-myungâs eyes for a moment and then nodded.
âgood! Follow me.â
âGood idea. I will take you to the place where the lord is.â
He led the way, and Pyowol and Soma followed. And again, Lee Ki-myeongâs subordinates surrounded them in a circle and moved on.
Despite being surrounded by Ki Myung Lee and his subordinates, Soma did not look frightened at all.
Instead, he smiled and whispered to Pyowol.
âWhy are these brothers so angry?â
âIt seems that you donât know because you are in the non-partisan faction. Most of the unmanned people in Gangho these days are like that.â
âYou must be tired. Tsk tsk!â
Soma clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Seeing Soma like that, the warriors who followed him made a tearful expression without realizing it. But they bit their lips and suppressed their emotions.
The place where Lee Ki-myeong arrived was a small pavilion by Poyang Lake.
Jang Mu-geuk and Jang Ho-yeon were standing in the pavilion.
Zhang Mu-geuk said to Pyo-wol.
âCome on. Long time no see.â
âRight.â
Pyowol replied as he took off the hat he was wearing.
Zhang Wujie said with a slight frown on his face, shining white in the moonlight.
âThat face is still the same.â
âSo are you.â
âWhy did you kill King Gu Jin?â
âShould I even tell you why?â
âIâm just curious personally. It caught my curiosity about what kind of relationship it had with the Jewon Corps.â
âI donât see any reason why I should tell you the personal story.â
âhmm!â
Zhang Wujiu rubbed his chin with his hand.
After meeting in Jinga, I met Pyowol after a long time.
Pyowol then and now Pyowol were completely different people.
Even then, Pyo-wol, like now, completely hid his presence. But I couldnât fool Zhang Wu-geukâs eyes.
They said they were hiding everything, but it was because a sharp presence like a dagger broke through. But now it was different.
It was right in front of my eyes, but I didnât feel any presence.
It felt like a ghost was standing there.
It was a different level of martial arts compared to when we met in Jinga.
The fact that this level of development could be achieved in a short period of time was enough to make Pyowol a dangerous existence.
At that time, Wujing Zhang thought that he should remove the symbol.
It is not only unimaginable that a person with the same temperament, eyesight, and talent as Pyowol would be under another person, and even if he were placed under someone else, he thought that complete control would be impossible.
âTsk! If it wasnât for Dokgohwangâs friendâ¦â
Dokgohwang tried to make Pyowol his subordinate.
Because of this, Zhang Wu-geuk could not move in earnest.
Looking at the appearance of Woo Il-shin (忥æ°), I regretted the decision at the time.
Pyowol then asked.
âWhat did you ask to see?â
âMake a suggestion.â
âIf you ask me to join the Golden Heaven, I will refuse.â
âwhy? It wonât hurt you.â
âWhat are you going to do with Dokgo Hwang? Do you think he will tolerate the death of his woman by my hand?â
âIf you give me time, I can convince you enough. Because he is a friend who can put aside his personal feelings in front of a cause.â
âAre human emotions so easily controlled?â
âWhat else can I do? Arenât you living like that too? It all depends on your mindset. Isnât it that difficult, especially for those of us who can control our emotions well?â
âI refuse.â
âThere is no room for rethinking.â
âYou didnât even expect me to accept it in the first place, did you?â
At Pyo-wolâs words, Zhang Wu-geuk shook his head slightly.
âThe vitriol remains.â
âBecause there must be things that donât change.â
âAsk me one more time. What is your relationship with the Jewon Sangdan?â
âI know youâve already answered, so why are you asking that again?â
âBecause I have to react differently depending on your answer.â
âIt looks like the top of the jewon is burdened?â
âA person who has built a mountain of wealth is always a burden to those in power. Especially in times of chaos like now.â
The enormous financial power of the Jewon Group was a great threat to the Geumcheonhoe.
It was unpredictable what kind of synergistic effect would result if a group with such enormous wealth joined forces with an assassin named Pyowol.
That was the reason Zhang Wu-geuk was concerned about the combination of the Pyo-wol and the top of the Ji-won.
Pyowol said.
âI had a personal relationship with Roh Tae-tae.â
âYou mean personal?â
âokay!â
âCan you prove it?â
âno! I donât even know why it should be.â
âIâve always thought about it, but you donât seem to be afraid, do you?â
âNo, I am very scared.â
âis it? Unexpected.â
âSo, knock on the stone bridge and cross it. Otherwise, I would not have survived until now.â
âYou wise friend. I hope you continue to make such wise choices in the future.â
âItâs none of your business what I choose.â
âyes. Youâd better listen to me, though. Even for you and the people involvedâ¦â
Zhang Wujieâs tone was very plain. But even the contents inside were not ordinary.
Pyo-wol could feel all the hidden intentions and murderous intentions in his words.
Goosebumps appeared on the skin.
Few people gave him this feeling. And they were all the best masters in Gangho.
Zhang Wu-geuk had already been on the same rank as them a long time ago. The exact extent of his achievements now could only be known by competing directly.
Pyowol replied without a change in expression.
âRemember.â
It was at this time that Zhang Mu-geuk slightly frowned at his plain answer.
âIs that sword fear?â
I heard Jang Ho-yeonâs voice.
His gaze was fixed on the longsword hanging from Somaâs waist.
Soma replied cheerfully.
âhuh! Thatâs right bro! It was taken away by the great grandpa, but I got it back this time.â
âHand over your fears to me. Then, Iâll pretend that the Eunwon until now didnât exist.â
Jang Ho-yeon held out her hand to Soma.
After all, it all started because of the fear at the hands of Soma.
Jang Pyeong-san, his father and the owner of the ox sword lodge, had a hobby of collecting famous swords.
His half-brother, Jang Moo-yeon, lost his life trying to steal the fear in order to satisfy his desire, which is inexhaustible at the sight of a famous sword.
In order to retrieve the revenge and fear of Zhang Mu-yeon, Jang Ho-yeon came out to Gangho, and somehow he was connected to Zhang Wu-geuk and joined the Golden Circle.
Ironically, all of this happened because of that one sword. So, I had to get my hands on it.
âGive me fear.â
âNope.â
His face contorted at Somaâs words.
âWhat did you just say?â
âI said no. Fear is mine.â
âYou donât know the seriousness of the matter. If you just hand that sword over to me, you will be at ease. It means that you can live comfortably without being swept away by Kang Hoâs favor. Donât you know?â
âknow! I still hate it.â
âprofit!â
It was when Jang Mu-yeonâs face turned into a yaksha.
âHow much would the powerful people laugh at if they knew that the owner of the ox sword lodge was trying to steal a sword from a child?â
Suddenly, a sonorous voice was heard.
Jang Moo-geuk and Jang Ho-yeonâs eyes turned to the direction where the voice came from.
A man and a woman were walking towards the place where their eyes were directed.
âThisâ¦black man!â
âNamgungseol!â
They were Lee Geom-han and Namgung-seol, who came to the top of the memorial service.
When they appeared, Jang Ho-yeon quickly calmed down.
Zhang Muji looked at them and opened his mouth.
âYou guys are here too.â
âIf this person sides with you, this side will also be in trouble in many ways.â
Lee Geom-han replied calmly.
âThe sword of the world is over. Are you only moving because of one assassin?â
âIsnât that the same for you? Please, letâs not hide our true feelings. What kind of ugliness is this when everyone knows each other?â
âCheer up.â
âLetâs fight fair and square. Arenât the Golden Reunion and Union Reunion enough?â
âYou are confident.â
âI can always be proud in front of you.â
Lee Geom-han looked at Jang Moo-geuk with his hands behind his back.
His awe-inspiring appearance touched Zhang Mu-geukâs nerves. However, Zhang Wu-geuk did not show any rudeness by hasty seizures or raising his voice.
Lee Geom-han was his adversary sent from heaven.
I couldnât look ugly in front of him.
Zhang Wujie smiled coldly.
âIâm looking forward to seeing if that confidence will be maintained even after the Union Association collapses.â
âThat wonât happen.â
A spark seemed to fly between the two of them.
With every word spoken, the air around them stirred.
Not only Jang Ho-yeon but also Namgung Seol could not relax in the fight between the two.
Pyowol looked at the two of them alternately before opening his mouth.
âSomehow this doesnât seem like a place for me to be. Iâll go first.â
âPay attention to my words!â
âThis guy doesnât care too much.â
Jang Mu-geuk and Lee Geom-han each said a word.
Pyowol stepped back with Soma.
Jang Ho-yeon and Namgung-seol made sad faces.
âI have to take away the fear.â
âShould I miss this golden opportunity to get rid of the author?â
I didnât know when another opportunity like this would come if I sent Pyowol now.
This is because the moon rarely reveals itself in front of people.
However, Jang Mu-geuk and Lee Geom-han were fighting for momentum, and I couldnât move recklessly.
While they were in conflict, Pyowol and Soma disappeared into the darkness.
