Episode 351The beginning of cleaning (1)
Yeon Wei came to Zhuge Munhoâs office.
âMilitary.â
Zhuge Wenhu grinned. You could guess the result just by looking at Yeonwiâs expression.
âYou caught it?â
âexactly. âThey say the head of the Tang family won.â S~eaÊá´h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âFortunately, the.â
I boldly told him not to worry and left, but how could I not worry? The opponent was an unknown master, a servant of an organization whose true nature and strength were not known for certain.
But after all, the party hall was the party hall. The King of Poison, who reigned as the loser of Sacheon, was truly amazing.
âI just caught it.â
Yeonwi whetted her appetite.
âThey say they couldnât capture him alive.â
âIs that so.â
âI also didnât want to be captured alive in the first place, but it looks like they just killed him.â
Zhuge Wenhu laughed.
âYou know the personality of the party leader, right? âIf Commander Yeon also wanted to be captured alive, he would have made that clear.â
âThat is correct.â
âIn a situation where you know very little about the opponentâs strength, type of martial arts, etc., if you hastily try to capture them and are counterattacked, you may lose your comrade. âThis is better.â
âI think so too.â
âNow the problem isâ¦.â
âMoyong family.â
âThatâs right.â
Yeonwiâs eyes lit up.
âMoyonggajuâs resourcefulness is amazing. âIt must have been well-cooked and boiled somehow.â
âI believe in Mo Yong-gajuâs abilities, but the problem is that provincial commander Yeo Sang-do doesnât know the situation. In the unlikely event that Duke Yeo is on the same team as themâ¦.â
âDonât worry. âBecause I have thought about that part.â
Zhuge Wenhu opened his eyes wide.
âIs that so? âI also have something else in mind.â
Yeonwi smiled.
âIt is not well known, but the integrity and loyalty of Hanam Provincial Commander Yeo Sang-do are remarkable. Moreover, since he is very resourceful, he would not have joined hands with the Shinhwa Church. âRather, you might be in the middle of a retreat to launch a counterattack.â
âDo you know Yeosang-do?â
âIâve seen you a couple of times before. âWe never had a sad conversation, but it was enough time to get to know what it means to be a person.â
âPeople always change.â
âSometimes there are values that never change.â
Seeing Yeonwi being so confident, it definitely seemed like she was not an ordinary person.
Zhuge Wenhu nodded lightly.
âFor now, Dang Gaju will wait with Hugae until we get a call from Moyong Gaju. If we are caught in the act of attracting them, thenâ¦â
âWe have to dispatch them.â
âThatâs right.â
Who are they dispatching?
Zhuge Wenhu smiled and stood up.
âIf you do, I will go to the public ambassador.â
âSure.â
Three days later.
âI received a call from the head of the Moyong family.â
A thunderbolt struck Yeon Weiâs eyes as he read the letter handed to him by Zhuge Li.
âalso.â
A transaction that could have been difficult was successfully completed.
âNow, once we lure them in and catch themâ¦.â
âWeâll go straight into the opening.â
âGood.â
The Yeonwi beat the swordsman.
âIâll go to the opening section first. âI will ask you to take care of the rest.â
âAll right. ah! But have you received any special communication from Commander Yeon? âIâve been particularly busy lately, so I havenât yet read the letter from Commander Yeon.â
Yeonwi smiled.
âYou mean Gojeong?â
* * *
A hill not far from Heochang, Henan Province.
âWalking around here reminds me of the old days.â
Yeon Ho-jeong put his hand in front of the bonfire and suddenly said something.
Mukbi tilted his head.
âYou mean old times?â
âA famous family.â
âAh, you said it was the best in the world?â
âhuh. There was a famous house near here. âItâs almost in ruins now.â
âI heard it was designated as the territory of the Murim Alliance?â
âIt must be under construction. There is no word yet on exactly what it will be used for, but at least for the castle, the topography and walls are close to perfect. âItâs too precious to just leave it alone.â
âokay.â
Mukbi grinned.
âHow does it feel to be back in the territory of the organization that defeated you?â
âIâm not very impressed. âItâs just a thought that came to mind at that time.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes, sparkling in the fire, looked particularly deep.
âI really smashed it to pieces. When I think about it, I was reckless too. âI ran because I was confident that it was possible, but looking back, I realized I went too far.â
âI heard they joined hands with the head of the Moyong family and brought it down.â
âIt did.â
What did you think of?
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
âWell, itâs always been like that. I always made grand plans, but they rarely went as planned. In the end, I think I was busy struggling to make sure that the choice I made went in the right direction.â
âIsnât that how we all live?â
people say It is said that Yeon Ho-jeongâs insight and wisdom reached the pinnacle of the world.
Yeon Ho-jeong denied that fact.
Of course, he is quick-witted and has the ability to find loopholes. He also did not humbly deny his own strengths.
However, it is not enough to be called a divine mountain. Once I made up my mind, âIâm going to do this,â I didnât look back.
If it was reckless, it could be called reckless, and if it was driving force, it could be called driving force.
âEven if youâre smart, you canât see through everything in the world. In that respect, practitioners are great. âI think I know when to use my head and when to rely on my intuition.â
âItâs intuition.â
âWas it like that back then?â
âWhen I was at Myeongga?â
âno. âIt was during the Heukje Castle.â
Heukjeseong.
For Yeonhojeong, it is the past and will not be born in the now changed future. The strongest union of the dark islands.
In a way, it was the brightest moment for Yeon Ho-jeong, who had nothing in common with the current Mukryongbu, from origin to purpose.
âI donât know.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who quenched his thirst with a sip of water, whetted his appetite.
âEven back then, I was running like crazy. Because it was not an organization created with intention in the first place. âAt first, it was just a small gang.â
âHeukje Castle⦠itâs a grand name. âDid you take the nickname of the practitioner?â
âokay.â
Emperor of darkness.
Darkness means extreme darkness. At the same time, it also meant a dark hell.
The Hell of Darkness is ruled by the Great King of Five Paths and Wheels and refers to the abyss itself where not a single ray of light enters.
It is the last of the ten hells of Buddhism, and depending on the final judgment, one either undergoes reincarnation or falls into darkness.
The hell of darkness is the hell you fall into if you do not have children.
It may seem absurd at first glance, but to be precise, not being able to have children is also a result of past karma, and darkness can be seen as a place to judge that karma.
In other words, the dark hell is a place where evildoers who have been castrated are punished for their biological instinct to reproduce.
So this is the final hell. It was also the reason for being at the crossroads of the final judgment that determines the cycle of life.
And Yeonhojeong traveled across the world, being called by its nickname modeled after that terrifying hell.
He is a man who has lived as the final hell that his enemies must go through.
âEveryone is like that. Anyone who lives in this martial arts world.â
The crackling sound of the bonfire became an instrument that complemented Yeonhojeongâs monotonous voice.
âIf swords collide, someone dies. In a life-or-death situation, the winner becomes the final hurdle for the loser. Everyone who has died by my hands so far has not surpassed me. âFor them, I was just the last peak they could not overcome.â
ââ¦.â
âItâs not a nickname I gave, but thatâs how I lived. After being given the nickname Emperor of Darkness, he never lost a battle, even if he didnât know about war. âIt was possible because we had suffered numerous defeats before.â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
At first glance, it seemed bittersweet, but at another glance, it seemed full of expectations.
âItâs different now. I donât want to be called that scary nickname anymore. No matter how much you think about it, the nickname âJeoksanhojangâ seems much better than the dull nickname âEmperor of Darkness,â doesnât it?â
Mukbi chuckled.
âYes, of course.â
âIf I think about it now, the nickname âEmperor of Darknessâ is also funny. The final gateway? Thatâs bullshit. After all, I am also human. âIn fact, I died after being stabbed in the back in the end. What kind of darkness is this?â
âDang family lord, or rather the party official at the time, did you say he died after being beaten by a sword?â
âIt did. Even if I left it alone, it would have died on its own. Well, if he died like that, he would have died well as the Emperor of Darkness in his own way.â
Listening to Yeon Ho-jeongâs words, Mukbi thought. You donât know how a personâs life will go.
She believed Yeon Ho-jeongâs confession. I completely believed the unbelievable words that he had returned to the past after living for decades.
So I thought. Even such an outstanding and experienced strong man cannot help but be helpless in the face of the great flow of fate.
Life is a race in the dark where you canât see an inch ahead. In that case, it would be easier to live like Yeon Ho-jeong and do what I can without worrying about what others think.
Mukbiâs eyes deepened as he looked at Yeonhojeong.
âI am?â
While watching Yeonhojeong, there was something I always thought was great.
He always had a goal. When I achieved a goal, I immediately set another goal and ran.
Some might say that it is an overly difficult life. However, in Mukbiâs opinion, regardless of his harshness, Yeon Ho-jeong was a man who truly knew how to live his life like a human being.
At least Yeon Ho-jeong will not leave behind any regrets in his life, even if he has to worry about the people left before he dies.
Life is to be lived like that.
âIâm satisfied even now. But will it still be like this later? âCould there come a time when I leave to live my own life?â
And what kind of expressions will Yeon Ho-jeong and Yeon Wi make in such a situation?
Mukbi, who was lost in thought, let out a heartless laugh.
âThe practitioner has also grown.â
âwhat?â
âThe practitioner I knew was a person who would repay what was done to him. âTwice, no, ten times more.â
âItâs not much different now.â
âBut now I am quite close to the head of the temple who ended my life as a practitioner.â
Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his head.
âWell, thatâs right. But you canât argue with me now, can you? âIt never happened to that man.â
âThat too.â
âBesides, I got hit in the back of the head, but even then, I didnât look at the Lord of the House in a bad way. âAt least when he went to war, he was a trustworthy ally.â
âEven now?â
âof course. âIn fact, I am much more reliable than I was then.â
It was then.
âAre you talking about me?â
Yeon Ho-jeong and Muk-bi were not surprised. It was because he sensed the presence of the hotel.
âAre you here?â
The official who appeared snorted.
âWhen did I go to war with you?â
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed cheerfully.
âI just tried it. âDonât worry too much.â
âSullen bastard.â
âBy the way, you brought us news of victory.â
âHe was a half-hearted person who did not even know the virtue of life or death. âIt was nothing.â
âFor something like that, youâve burned your sleeves quite a bit.â
ânoisy.â
The party sat in front of the bonfire.
he asked, his eyes shining.
âSo, did you get a call from Moyong?â
âyes. They say it was successful. âI heard they are planning to lure the Shinhwa cultists.â
âokay?â
The official smiled cruelly.
âI wonder if some decent guys will come this time.â
âYou could die.â
âIf you are weak, you will die. But I am not weak.â
As expected, it was great confidence.
âDid you handle your work well?â
âOf course.â
Yeon Ho-jeong looked north.
âNow all thatâs left is to have fun.â
