Episode 300.A fight without a bell (4)
It was almost midnight that day when Yeon Ho-jeong came to his senses.
â100 million? father?â
âAre you awake?â
Yeonwi smiled and drank tea.
âI saw your condition earlier. âI thought it would happen by now.â
Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his head.
âWhat time is it now?â
âIt was just after midnight.â
âokay.â
Yeonwi said with a proud expression.
âCongratulations. âYou have finally obtained the divine altar.â
Yeonga Shindan.
It was the path to the pinnacle of Yeonga martial arts and the beginning of learning Yeongaâs final vision.
In the history of Yeonga, the number of ancestors who formed a Shindan did not exceed three.
Of course, it was not because the other ancestors were lacking in ability. Forming a shrine is an arduous task, but among the family heads of the past, there were quite a few who achieved enlightenment worthy of surpassing the Yeonga shrine.
In other words, it could be said to be a matter of choice: whether to form a new altar and head toward a vision, or to maximize the martial arts one has learned and enter a new path of creation.
Yeonwi chose the latter, and Yeonhojeong chose the former.
Nevertheless, what surprised Yeonwi was that forming the Yeonga Shindan itself required extreme awareness of the Yeonga Divine Art.
âA shrine is like a spring that never runs dry. However, since it is different from the regular Danjeon, it will be difficult to handle it for a while.â
âYes, I thought so.â
Yeon Ho-jeong repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fists.
âsurely.â
The flow of Jinki has changed.
A martial artist who has learned inner strength trains his Danjeon. Among them, there are martial artists who only train the lower dantian, and there are also martial artists who train all three dantian, upper, middle, and lower.
And while training the three Danjeon, there were also cases where there was a separate Danjeon that was mainly trained.
Yeonhojeong was like that. His upper level battle was in full bloom due to the enlightenment of the Emperor of Darkness, and thanks to this, he was able to possess instantaneous destruction techniques and insight that allowed him to deal with an expert several levels higher than him even with a small amount of power.
Sashinmu Sabangshingi protected the body based on the middle and middle battles, and by strengthening the lower end through Byeoknajingyeol, all martial arts were stably implemented.
It was different now.
Yeongasindan, which is filled with Byeoknajingi and Yongpojingi, along with Sashingi, made the middle and middle halls look like an iron fortress. The energy was so strong that it felt like something was stuck in my solar plexus, making me feel stuffy.
On the other hand, the lower hall was empty as it had been trimmed with Byeoknajingi.
It was not that the bottom battle was lost. Whenever necessary, you can change your martial arts tendencies by drawing on the true energy of the Five Great Gods from Yeonga Shindan.
The scope of change is arbitrary. It may be difficult to handle because it is so complex, but if you embody it perfectly, you can change the overall characteristics of martial arts through instantaneous use of aerodynamic power.
If Sasinmu was an excellent weapon, Yeongasindan was a true forge that could change the characteristics of the weapon in an instant.
âalso.â
A proud smile appeared on Yeon Ho-jeongâs face.
âMy prediction was correct.â
In the future, if you master all the remaining divine techniques of the Five Great Divine Techniques, the Yeonga Divine Dan will also be complete.
Then, it will be possible to operate the vision where all aspects, including speed, strength, endurance, destructive power, and stabilization, are at their peak. It was truly a godsend to cultivate the field with Byeoknajingyeol instead of studying Hongcheongi.
Yeonwi tapped Yeonhojeong on the shoulder.
âCongratulations. âForming a shrine at that age is something that has never happened in the history of my family.â
Yeonwi treated him as if he had not heard of Yeonhojeongâs past.
The past is just the past. Yeonwi tried to see the present of her eldest son. This is because it is nonsense to disparage oneâs current achievements just because one has achieved such enlightenment in the past.
Yeon Ho-jeong also knew how his father felt.
âthank you.â SÑará´h the novÑlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âThe cold is harsh. Meanwhile, the snow has stopped. Since the moonlight is good, I would like to help you embody Shindanâs energy by rubbing with Abby, but I have something to discuss with you, so I think I will postpone the rubbing.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes sparkled.
âWhat happened?â
Yeonwi told me everything that happened today.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes deepened.
âI see. âI was going to tell my father separately.â
âIt is done. âWhether I found out late or early, it was all I wanted to know in the end.â
âSo what did the West Station priestess say?â
âThatâ¦â
Yeonwi licked her lips.
âThey said they would give me an answer by tomorrow morning.â
âHoo.â
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeongâs mouth rose.
Aside from the fact that the Western Goddess was a spy for the Shinhwa Church, her personality itself was very pretty and gentle.
Although he has his own pulpit, that pulpit is of little use in front of the head of the six-generation family. In particular, the intimidation of the hall was so great that it made even experts of the same level nervous. It would not have been easy to withstand it with the mental strength of a western station priestess.
âDid the head of the Tang family just watch that?â
âYes.â
ââ¦Eh?â
Yeonwi smiled.
âThat person from the past has changed a lot from before. Of course, his unique pride and overbearing side are still there, but he doesnât push things around as recklessly as he used to.â
Even in the past, I didnât push it recklessly.
The intimidating appearance of the building is just one of countless masks used to facilitate external activities. In fact, he was a man with a track record of successfully achieving impossible tasks through sharp prayer and terrifying arrogance.
In other words, Danggwan is also a nine-tailed fox with nine tails. Itâs just that he is a fox and is wearing the mask of a viper.
âAnd he asked me to tell you this.â
âPlease speak.â
Yeonwi hesitated for a moment. No matter how much it was a rumor, the object of it was his son. I was a little embarrassed to say this without changing a word.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
âitâs okay. âIt is better to listen directly and without embellishment.â
âThen tell me.â
âyes.â
âThey said they will take care of the fire here, so whether itâs to control it or make it bigger, you should do it to the best of your ability.â
âOhh.â
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin.
âI expected it when I heard that she went to the West Station priestess without saying anything, but it looks like she has no intention of just sitting still.â
âI am a person who does not like to be influenced by someone. âJust accepting your offer and running as a candidate would have been a big concession for him.â
To be exact, it was not a concession, but a transaction.
However, the party official was able to negotiate with the West Station priestess without having to deal with her. If you think about it up to that point, as my father said, a concession was a concession.
âThat concession may have been the last move to confirm whether it would be okay to operate in the Murim Alliance.â
Thatâs the way the world is. Protecting oneâs life and proving oneâs worth came first before the greater good.
In that respect, Dang Gwan-do is definitely a character.
âI know what you mean. âIf you do, I will go to the West Station priestess.â
Yeonwi asked in surprise.
âYou mean this late at night?â
âOf course. âWhat if she says she wonât come forward as a sponsor tomorrow morning?â
âItâs midnight. Wouldnât it be better to visit early in the morning?â
âno. âItâs better now.â
Yeonhojeongâs eyes sparkled with fire.
âYou brought in a worm-eaten animal, but you shouldnât be afraid to eat it without knowing its blessings. âI need to get some whipping.â
* * *
Slurp.
Ki Woo-heeâs face hardened.
âItâs Jamyeong No. 1.â
ââ¦Thatâs right.â
She turned her back.
Before I knew it, a masked man in black was kneeling in a shadowy corner.
Ki Woo-heeâs eyes wavered.
âWhat happened?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âI know your stealth skills are great, but⦠this is the Murim Alliance.â
âI know.â
Jamyoung Ilhoâs stealth skills are comparable to those of the best assassins in the Jungwon martial arts world.
Moreover, the Murim Alliance was too large to be considered a single federation. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a small country.
In particular, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the outer wall was as wide as several large villages. Not all of those living in the Murim Alliance are experts, so as long as you can get over the castle wall, infiltrating it wonât be that difficult.
But tolerance was different.
Naeseong was the area where more than seventy percent of the Murim Allianceâs power was concentrated.
Itâs not the numbers, but the level of the soldiers. The inner city was the place where the top experts of the old and six major families were concentrated.
There is no one who is not an expert in every step, and Jamyoung Ilho has infiltrated such a dangerous place.
Jamyoung Ilho lowered his head.
âExcept for this one time, unless there are special circumstances, it will be difficult to see you again for some time.â
He took out a small wooden case from his pocket.
âTake it.â
ââ¦What is this?â
âWe have stationed people from our school in the outer walls of the Murimmaeng, the stables, and the iron room.â
ââ¦!â
âWhat is inside the wooden box is a colorless, odorless incense that can only be smelled by those who have received special training. âYou just need to write down the important information about the Murim Alliance and deliver it to the outer castle officials once every forty-five days.â
ââ¦.â
âYou can apply the incense to your residence when delivering it. Their trained sense of smell allows them to smell the scent even from 50 miles away. âI will come to you within half a day, so you can give the information to Sejak.â
Ki Woo-hee swallowed his saliva.
âThis⦠are you asking me to do this?â
âItâs an order from above.â
ââ¦.â
âIt doesnât suit the saintâs personality. So please come back to our school quickly.â
ââ¦.â
âYou can return to our school whenever you wish. âIf you just return to the church, the saint will be able to gain the power to keep everyone under her gaze.â
ââ¦Jamyoung Ilho.â
âIt will be difficult to see you again for a while, so I will be rude once more.â
Ki Woo-hee sighed.
Jamyoung Ilho continued.
âIt is true that there are many people who talk about the saintâs origins. But that is literally just hearsay. If the religious leader knew how much he cares for the saint, he would say that their eyes are scaryâ¦â
âJamyoung Ilho.â
ââ¦Yes, saint.â
âIâm sorry, but now Iâve made a choice.â
Jamyeongilhoâs eyes wavered.
âSaint!â
Ki Woo-heeâs eyes were wet with sadness.
âIt was you?â
ââ¦What do you mean?â
âYou are the one who killed your mother, right?â
ââ¦!!â
âYour pity for me was real. But tell me. Are your reasons for trying to change my mind so pure? âArenât you trying to persuade me for your own sake so that you can get back to the seat of power you once sat on?â
âSaint Lady Seo!â
âThe reason I havenât responded to what you said so far is because I knew that there would be no benefit to me if I fought with you.â
Ki Woo-heeâs eyes, which were steeped in sadness, gradually became colder.
âBut not anymore. âI made a choice too.â
ââ¦.â
âI donât know what the end will be, but Iâm going to fight in my own way.â
Jamyoung Ilho spoke in a somewhat subdued voice.
ââ¦Saint.â
ââ¦.â
âListen and donât misunderstandâ¦.â
That was then.
ââ¦!!â
Jamyoung Ilhoâs eyes widened as if they were torn.
Slurp.
My mouth didnât open. For a moment, my body lost strength and I could not move a single finger of my own will.
âWhat?!â
Why is this happening all of a sudden? Had I been poisoned?
It was then.
âWell, it was like that.â
Jamyeongilho felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
âAll our fights are like that. It wasnât a fight that started only when a bell rang. âItâs all a matter of preparation, and the one who strikes first gets the benefit, so itâs no different from the squabbles of back alley gangsters.â
The voice mixed with laughter was filled with tremendous murderous intent.
hook.
A black shadow obscured Jamyeongilhoâs vision.
Cheer ring. Chiri ririn.
The sound of chains crashing created a terrifying fear.
Shadow Yeon Ho-jeong smiled maniacally.
âMaybe you should have rang the bell and come here. Isnât this too brave for a moth?â
