Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Chapter 722

?Episode 722.

Reaction (3)

The return of Yeon Ho-jeong and his party added a strange vitality to the subdued Mukryongbu.

Of course, most of the warriors of the Mukryongbu did not like Yeonhojeong. He formed an alliance, but in the end, he was a man of political faction. Considering the nature of the two tribes, which do not mix like oil and water, it was natural.

However, there was an even bigger reason why the warriors looked down on Yeon Ho-jeong, and that was because he was close to Buju.

In the first place, they had a history of having information stolen due to Yeonhojeong’s infiltration campaign in the past. Yang Cheon, the vice-lord, forgave him, but the incident remained a burden to most of the warriors.

Additionally, the fact that Buju cared for him was enough to make the warriors jealous. This is because although Yang Cheon had favored someone, he rarely had a relationship with his subordinates on an equal footing.

Considering Yeon Ho-jeong’s age, this is even more surprising. It was inevitable that the warriors would be jealous and dislike him.

but.

There was no denying the fact that he had resolved a series of incidents that had occurred in Sacheon and Shaanxi. If it weren’t for him, the Mukryongbu, which had formed an alliance with the Murim Alliance, would have been in quite a bit of trouble.

The return of Go Soo, something I hate but have no choice but to admit.

The atmosphere at the Mukryongbu was heating up little by little.

* * *

“Have you arrived?”

“Seniors.”

Yeon Ho-jeong took control.

“How have you been?”

“ha ha ha! “I was fine.”

Makwon burst out laughing.

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“It looks like Rep. Ki handled the job very well. “I can no longer see the buds of the disease.”

“Rep. Ki went through a lot of trouble. I am so grateful that I don’t know what to repay the favor with. And…”

Makwon smiled brightly.

“The grace I owe you for saving my life and even calling Dr. Ki is greater than anything else.”

“It was nothing.”

“I already told you, but I have no intention of becoming a member of the Mukryongbu. “At least for now.”

“Yes, I know.”

“I am a simple person. “I don’t have much experience in the world, and all I have is martial arts.”

“Are you talking about the person who is one of the three kings whom the whole world worships?”

“I never wanted something like that in the first place. Of course, sometimes I was intoxicated by the elation that name gave me, but I never thought that the nickname Baekbyeongshingun proved me.”

“Is that so.”

“I am a simple person. If you have a grudge, you must resolve it and if you have received a favor, you must repay it. In that sense, I would like to repay you by following you for a while.”

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“I feel like I have gained a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses because the world’s hundreds of warriors are giving me strength, but I do not have the courage or strength to embrace the three armies. If you just remain a reliable ally, that will be enough.”

“to be honest.”

Makwon nodded.

“I thought it wasn’t enough. “Until you leave here.”

“….”

“But now that you have returned from resolving all the scuffles that took place in faraway Sichuan and Shaanxi, I no longer feel that you are lacking.”

“That’s too much praise.”

“What use is age and position in repaying a favor received? However, it is true that since I am a warrior, I was reluctant to follow you who is much weaker than me.”

Makwon spread his hands.

“But see. Now that you have come back, you have reached a level where only thirteen people in the entire midfield have reached a level where you have become a giant who is much bigger than before when you were inexperienced.”

“….”

“Now there is no hesitation for me.”

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.

“We have reached that level, but there are still many shortcomings. “There are many officials living in the imperial palace, but no one bows their head to the royal family.”

Makwon burst into laughter again.

“The analogy is too much. If you are a strong person who started performing martial arts at the age of less than 30, you will be the best in the world ten years later. “It wouldn’t be a bad idea to rely on a junior with such great potential.”

Yeon Ho-jeong took control again.

“I would just like to thank you for joining us. Please take care of me in the future.”

“I am asking you to take care of me. He is a person who lacks the power to get through this difficult time because all he has is force. Please guide me well.”

“It was nothing.”

The joy of meeting Makwon again was not just a joy.

Baek Byeong-shin’s army’s last resort. Although he is a member of the Three Armies who are evaluated as one level below the Immortal Emperor, he is also a clear powerhouse of the Holy Heaven. Just having a great expert like him join us is like gaining a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s face became slightly flushed.

Makwon said with a smile.

“I want to fight with you regardless of our relationship.”

“It’s an honor for me. However, since the situation is complicated right now with various things going on, how about putting that matter off until later?”

“Of course you should. “I just wanted to keep that promise for once.”

There was no shadow on Makwon’s brightly smiling face.

Even worldly experts were bound to lose their true selves when they became isolated and sick. Makwon was just like that.

However, when the person who decided to treat the disease and join him returned, Makwon’s true personality was revealed.

“I heard that you came back from a big job, but I didn’t hear the details. “Let’s hear about that later.”

“of course.”

“By the way, what kind of action are you planning to show in the future?”

“What do you mean by action?”

Makwon tilted his head.

“I heard that the situation in the northern part of the central plains is unusual.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

“Who did you hear it from?”

“There is no one in particular. “There were stories coming from the restaurant, and the atmosphere in the Mukryongbu was booming due to various events.”

Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin.

‘Do you already know about the appearance of the King of Rain?’

I don’t know the exact circumstances, but I do know that the atmosphere in northern Central Plains is unusual. It meant that Yangcheon did not control information in that area.

Actually, it’s not a story worth hiding.

‘But it’s still fast. Even if everything will be revealed later, it is not impossible to control information right now. Nevertheless, the fact that he didn’t stop the story from flowing out…’

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.

‘It means to prepare quickly.’

You never know when, where, and what kind of fight will break out.

So, don’t stop the flow of conversation. It can also be interpreted as a warning that something big will happen in the world soon, now that the King of Rain, who has been hiding for so long, has come out into the world.

Creating tension. Plus, the return of Yeonhojeong.

‘If you look at things like this, you definitely have good abilities.’

Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his head.

“For now, rest comfortably. “I will come back again soon.”

“Good. “You just got back, so don’t push yourself too hard.”

“thank you.”

The place Yeon Ho-jeong visited after breaking up with Mak Won was Ki Woo-hee’s residence.

“Master Yeon.”

“Howdy.”

Ki Woo-hee woke up with a happy face.

“I heard you came. “Are you healthy?”

“of course.”

“But…”

Ki Woo-hee’s facial expression gradually filled me with surprise.

“Have you become stronger?”

The corners of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth rose.

“You’re incredibly sensitive. Can you see that in your eyes too?”

“I may not be as strong as others, but I have eyes to see. “It looks like the struggle so far has been really grueling.”

“It was terrible. “It’s nothing new, but I’ve almost died more than once.”

“okay.”

Ki Woo-hee’s eyes wavered.

‘amazing.’

She was born with abilities different from others. It was not something that could simply be dismissed as talent.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was an ability given by God. It was the spiritual eye.

‘It’s burning brightly.’

The image of Yeonhojeong reflected in Ki Woo-hee’s spirit was that of an evil spirit engulfed in terrible flames.

But now it was different again.

Unlike before, where the evil spirit was somehow vague, the current form of the evil spirit created by Yeonhojeong’s spirit energy seemed much more elaborate and much more powerful.

‘different.’

Ki Woo-hee’s eyes wavered.

‘It’s much clearer… but the atmosphere is different.’

She knew where Yeon Ho-jeong’s extreme brutality came from.

It was blind hatred toward the three religions. The scale of the hatred was so great that just throwing a few stones would ignite it and turn the area into a sea of fire.

But now?

‘cold.’

The hatred towards them is still the same, but not as explosive as it used to be.

It was quiet, cold, and therefore calm.

‘Not only martial arts has become stronger. The person itself has changed.’

Ki Woo-hee’s eyes became strange.

‘Even in that area, you can reflect on yourself and seek change…’

Yeon Ho-jeong said at that time.

“how is it?”

“yes?”

“It looks a lot different than before, right? “It’s about your magical eyes.”

“Ah…”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and waved his hand.

“Well, that’s okay. I came here because I had something to ask. “I’m glad I didn’t go back to Mang.”

“Ah yes. Although we have just cured Daehyeop’s illness, I am concerned that it may reoccur. “I just wanted to check on the situation for a few months.”

“okay? “Is there a chance it will happen again?”

“At the moment, none. However, because it is so deeply entrenched, if it recurs, it can reveal itself within three months to six months. “Once that time passes, it will be okay to be declared fully cured.”

“Well, I see. If you do that, what about…?”

“There are many lawmakers in Uiseongak who are more skilled than me. Since they were dispatched, they are probably doing well there.”

“good. Then there will be nothing to worry about.”

Yeon Ho-jeong sat across from Ki Woo-hee.

A subtle tension appeared on Ki Woo-hee’s face. The fact that Yeon Ho-jeong was sitting meant that there was something to talk about in depth.

And there was only one thing he could discuss deeply with himself as a member of the National Assembly.

“You may not have heard it yet, but it seems like the imperial palace’s secret struggle has become quite severe.”

“The imperial palace?”

“okay. And it is Shinhwaism that is operating secretly in the imperial palace.”

Ki Woo-hee’s eyes wavered.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.

“You knew that too, right?”

“yes. And I’ve told you about this before.”

“know. I didn’t come to get the book just because you didn’t tell me more details. “You’re not familiar with the situation there anyway, right?”

“…yes.”

“but.”

“….”

“The Shinhwa Church does not know that you are in the Murim Alliance. However, even though they killed your watcher and protector, the Shinhwa Church did not contact you. Even though quite a long time has passed.”

“that’s right.”

“Have you been caught?”

Ki Woo-hee shook his head.

“You don’t know that.”

“I guess so.”

Ki Woo-hee was completely acting as a member of the Murim Alliance.

In reality, he became a member of the Murim League, but the Shinhwa Church would not know that. Even if Sejak was planted, he would think that she was working secretly for the Murim Alliance, so he would not find her friendly attitude strange.

“If you have not been contacted so far, there are two main reasons.”

“Either they are preoccupied with something else…”

“Or they are storing it away to use at a critical moment.”

“yes. “I think so too.”

“Looking back at the way you treated your watchers before, I think you showed a pretty strong attitude even in front of the Shinhwa cult bastards.”

“…yes?”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“Why don’t you do something with me?”
