Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Chapter 739

Episode 739

Sampajeon (7)

Become a person of His Majesty the Emperor.

It was a word that suddenly struck a gap in an unexpected situation.

‘….’

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Gok-gyeong with cold eyes.

hook!

The unstable prayer became horribly refined in an instant.

A hot wave of energy. I tensed my whole body to get my mind together and just for the sake of it.

‘I expected something like that to come out at some point, but…’

Damn it.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“….”

“Do you not want to become His Majesty’s person?”

Hearing these words at a time when the battle had just ended, my once strong mental strength seemed to falter.

‘After life and death, there is another life and death. ‘I let my guard down too.’

Those words are a lie.

No matter what time or situation he is in, he is an outsider.

The reason was clear. Although he is said to be acting as a bridge between the black and white martial arts factions, he was clearly a member of the white island political faction.

The Baekdo political faction is driven by the absolute values of the continent’s security, people’s livelihood security, and justice.

I am telling such a person to become one of His Majesty’s Majesty’s people.

If you answer that you cannot do that, it is high treason in itself. Of course, you can’t drag them away for actually committing high treason, but just getting a rumor out can cause enormous damage not only to the family but also to the Murim Alliance.

“Why is there no answer?”

A wry smile appeared on Gok-gyeong’s face.

“Are you saying that you cannot recognize His Majesty’s authority?”

“Is that possible?”

“How come there is no answer? “All people in the world should bow to His Majesty the Emperor. Do you not like that?”

Kangryang swallowed his saliva without realizing it. He too realized the gravity of that question.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking at Gok-gyeong, sighed inwardly.

“Did you say that all people in the world should bow to His Majesty the Emperor?”

“Of course.”

“If you thought that way, you were mistaken.”

Hahaha!

The deadly force that flowed from Gok-gyeong’s body created a whirlwind.

“You are a fool who deserves to die.”

The reaction was as expected.

Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.

‘There’s no choice.’

There is no point in breaking up this situation with nice-sounding words.

Yeon Ho-jeong chose to be honest.

“I don’t want to talk about this with you, nor do I need to, but since the question is such, I will ask it too. Have you ever thought about your country?”

“what?”

“I daresay you have never thought deeply about the country. “Because I am a person who only cares for His Majesty the Emperor.”

“That’s bullshit. His Majesty the Emperor is the Empire and lowly. “The way to serve Your Majesty is the way to serve the empire.”

“So is the world like this?”

“…this guy!”

“The state has a duty to protect the survival and property of its citizens. “We do not follow him because he is a high person, but because he is someone who can protect us all and allow us to live well.”

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.

“I don’t know what kind of world your Majesty wants, but if you want to become a true Son of Heaven and rule the world, I think it should at least be better than what it is now.”

“It’s a series of sins that deserve death.”

“There is no progress because we live in a world where we cannot even speak to this level.”

“this guy! At least the martial people have nothing to say about him! “One of the main reasons for the weakening of the empire’s power is the existence of Wulin!”

“This is not a suitable place to discuss history and politics. I just spoke my mind. “If you want to talk more deeply, please make room for us later.”

Crunchy.

Gok-gyeong’s voice contained vivid anger.

“So you’re saying you won’t follow His Majesty the Emperor?”

“That’s a different problem.”

“What are you saying?”

“Your Majesty the Emperor’s legitimacy will be recognized by everyone in the world. Because of that undeniable legitimacy, aren’t Her Majesty the Empress and the Grand Master just watching from the sidelines?”

“…!”

“I want the imperial palace to be corrected. It’s for everyone’s life. So, I will walk my own path. However, if you ask me to move for His Majesty’s personal benefit, I will not do so.”

“You are the world’s greatest treasonous sinner.”

“That’s what my senior thought.”

“what?”

“I have no intention of becoming Your Majesty’s servant, but I am working for the world. At least I think so. And….”

“….”

“It was my senior who said that His Majesty’s existence is insignificant.”

Gok-gyeong’s eyes deepened.

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“I can’t help it even if it sounds like sophistry. “That is my honest feeling.”

“….”

“If it’s hard to understand and brings a lot of heat, I can’t help it.”

“Are you going to die by my hands?”

“I’m going to run away as an independent.”

“…?!”

“I have a lot of work to do, and most importantly, I have no desire to die right now.”

It was a sly response that did not suit the situation.

Rumbling!

The morale flowing from Gok-gyeong’s body became as threatening as thunder and lightning swirling before his eyes.

‘Ugh!’

Kang Ryang’s face turned pale.

Just facing it was extremely draining on my internal strength. Seongcheon’s master was a disaster that could threaten the mind and body of others just by revealing his presence on the spot.

You may not know it when you are still, but when you open your airway, you become a completely different person.

No, it is not a person, but something more than a person.

“so.”

Yeon Ho-jeong said calmly.

“Stop threatening me when you say you won’t even use your hands. “My people are having a hard time.”

“….”

Hook!

The scary atmosphere of Gokgyeong disappeared as if it had been washed away.

“Whoop!”

Kang Yang took a deep breath. As a transcendent expert and expert, the force was so powerful that even the martial artist who had reached the peak was out of breath.

Gok-gyeong asked in a cold voice.

“Did you expect it?”

“in the middle.”

“….”

“If I had heard that he really wanted to kill me because of his personality, I would have covered my mouth first.”

“You have become the world’s greatest strategist.”

“It’s confidence rather than resourcefulness. “If you act hastily in a situation where you don’t even know how King Bi was killed, won’t you suffer the consequences?”

“I don’t know what they did, but if the future danger was certain, they would have risked their lives to capture and kill him.”

“So I felt relieved.”

Gok-gyeong frowned.

“What an ambiguous guy. “At moments, I feel like I should kill him, but at other times, I feel like I shouldn’t.”

“I like you because you are very honest.”

“noisy.”

Gok-gyeong, who was complaining, fell down on a rock.

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“Aren’t you going to go up?”

Gok-gyeong’s eyes sparkled.

“You didn’t feel it?”

“hmm?”

“The shaman sent someone.”

“…?”

Yeon Ho-jeong expanded his spirit.

‘…!’

What Gok-gyeong said was right. In the distance, from the shaman faction, several masters were running at breakneck speed.

A prayer that is soft and empty, yet full of air. Surprisingly, they all had a force that exceeded their strength.

‘Are they the elders of the time? However, no matter how high the name of the shaman is, he is still very mature. If this level of force is…’

Gok-gyeong said as if he had read Yeon Ho-jeong’s mind.

“Yes, it is a squadron.”

“…also.”

Former elders.

All kinds of battles were taking place near the Mudang Mountains. If people were going to be dispatched, they would have been dispatched a long time ago.

Nevertheless, it seems that the reason why the experts were dispatched only now was to call upon the veteran veterans of the previous generation who had retired from the front line rather than being on active duty.

‘The masters of the previous era are those who lived in the same era as Takmuja.’

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.

‘Did Takmuja Geomseon send you?’

Gok-gyeong asked then.

“Did you get hit hard?”

“What do you mean?”

“The internal strength is unstable and although it was corrected, the bone was also broken. The internal injury is also quite good. But I don’t think I was hit so hard that my senses became numb.”

“That’s right.”

Gok-gyeong’s gaze at Yeon-ho-jeong became strange.

Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

“…Have you not realized it yet?”

“…?”

“Well, it would be better to realize it yourself.”

What are these meaningful words?

Gok-gyeong continued speaking in a somewhat relaxed posture.

“It’s really cruel, but actually, what you say isn’t entirely wrong.”

“hmm?”

“The state must try to play its role… It’s not wrong. When a country becomes impoverished, it means that the lives of its people, the foundation of the country, become impoverished. “People who live well from the taxes paid by the people should not neglect their work.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.

Gok-gyeong shook his head.

“The country doesn’t end up like this just because of one person’s fault. Even more so when an invasion by a foreign power is just around the corner.”

“….”

“You just need to know. “There are people who want to make everything right but despair at the reality of not being able to do so.”

“…?”

“You should know that even in helpless situations that cannot be overcome by effort, skill, or deep blood, there are noble people who look up to the sky and consult with their bodies.”

For a moment, Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes flashed.

“no way?”

“….”

“Your Majesty the Emperor has been…?”

“My throat is sore.”

Gok-gyeong stood up.

“The shaman’s Jeunjong (???) is said to be the best in the whole world. I guess that’s not wrong. “It’s already right around the corner.”

“senior.”

“I heard that the mountain water of Wudang Mountain is so refreshing, so I should take a few sips. “If you say you won’t give it to me, I’ll have to beat your ass.”

Gok-gyeong turned around and looked towards the hill in the distance.

There, six old monks were rushing towards this place.

“Did you say Yeonhojeong?”

“exactly.”

“Please say thank you for taking care of King Bi.”

“….”

“And congratulations.”

“What?”

“It came into the fence of Seongcheon.”

“…!!”

“You too will be named in the position of Seongcheon. As the new king who killed King Gongsun Baekryong.”

Gok-gyeong looked back at Yeon-ho-jeong.

Yeon Ho-jeong felt his fists strengthen without even realizing it.

“From now on, you will experience hell.”

* * *

Phew.

The blowing wind was very dry.

Hwadeung danced. Candles were placed here and there, harmonizing with each other and playing with the dark shadows as they pleased.

“Elder.”

hook!

Hwadeung’s dance stopped.

The wind calmed and the darkness deepened.

“What is it?”

“We found out the faces of those who visited the Empress’s secret palace.”

“Hoo already?”

“….”

“Who was it?”

“This is the daughter of Yeon Wei, the head of the Jiangdong Yan family, Peng Wujiang of the Hebei Peng family, and the Zhuge family of Hubei.”

“Those are prominent names. But….”

“….”

“I was too conscious of this. I expected one of the Shaolin chiefs or a shaman officer to come, but there were only two heads of the six families and a young woman…”

“What should we do?”

“I came into the jaws of a tiger, but can I send it off gracefully? “Of course I have to kill him.”

“All right.”

“one.”

“….”

“If you kill someone right away just because you can kill them, what will happen in the future?”

“….”

“The most important thing in the struggle for the imperial palace is dignity and formality. “That’s why it’s difficult, and that’s why it’s dirty.”

“….”

“I don’t know if he has definitely joined the Empress’s side, so I need to keep a closer eye on him. “Please investigate closely what is going on there and report back.”

“I follow your orders.”

“and.”

hook!

All the candles went out, filling the surrounding area with complete darkness.

“I will go to your Majesty. Tell those below to prepare.”
