Chapter 129
Episode 129
Baekdo Murim Alliance (4)
It took almost half an hour just to get from the outer castle to the entrance to the inner castle. If a master at the peak reaches his maximum speed without stopping, will it take just a fraction of the time?
Although it was not as wide as the outer castle, the inner castle was also spacious. As it is the middle ground of the Murim League, the layout of the buildings has become more strategic and splendid at the same time.
“This is where we will stay.”
The place where Yeonga stayed in Naeseong was Pagungak (破軍閣). The exteriors of the buildings looked particularly old-fashioned and solid.
Yeonwi said after unpacking.
“Abby will go straight to the Wusheng Hall. “Please rest.”
“Please be careful.”
“Don’t cause an accident.”
“I’m not hitting it.”
Yeonwi glanced at Full Sang.
He was lingering outside the building. He looked quite anxious as he was twirling around with his back to his mouth and licking his lips.
Yeon Ho-jeong cleared his throat loudly.
“I will hold you tight.”
After hesitating for a moment, Yeonwi spoke.
“If necessary, I may use force.”
This meant that if he went crazy and started a riot, he was to be suppressed immediately. Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“I’m not that kind of person. Do not worry.”
“I get it. “If you do that, I will trust you and come back.”
“yes.”
Yeonwi left Pagungak.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was seeing Yeon Wi off, frowned and said.
“I’m going to turn. “Why do you keep doing this so crazy?”
Full-sang approached quickly.
“Let’s drink alcohol. “I haven’t been able to drink even a drop of alcohol for half a year.”
“It’s alcohol, but if you drink it, you drink it…”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked the full table up and down.
“Anyway, things have changed a lot in half a year?”
Although he may be acting like a poor person, his prayers were completely different from when I saw him last summer.
‘My strength has skyrocketed.’
Even if you count it as a small number, it has increased three to four times since the last time I saw it.
It is truly an enormous amount of power. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a transcendent expert, considering his internal power is comparable to that of Mukbi.
Of course, only half of them could be used properly. This is because full enlightenment was lacking.
‘Different body power. Did Yongdu Ark pass on some of his inner skills?’
That is highly likely. The energy that could not be controlled was very fierce, but it was refined to a high level. It was a power that could not be obtained through elixirs.
‘It’s not just about improving your skills.’
Crucially, the thickness of the prayer uttered by Full Sang changed.
Although it was only half a year, every day must have been like hell. Yeon Ho-jeong suddenly felt a desire to win.
“One round before drinking?”
Full-sang shouted.
“You crazy guy! I ran out because I didn’t want to practice, but what was holding me back? Set the table first!”
“Don’t you think it’s too shameless when it’s not even your house?”
“Give me the drink! alcohol!”
“If you give it a try.”
Gaeun-sang grabbed Yeon Ho-jeong’s fist and punched him in the face.
“Oh no, I lost! I lost! Yeon Ho-jeong, this bastard is too strong! “I can’t win!”
Full-sang lay down, grabbed his face, and rolled around.
Yeon Ho-jeong felt steam leaking out. I felt weak, not because I felt sorry for the other person, but because I felt like they were out of their minds.
“Let’s fucking go in.”
“Hehehe.”
Full-sang went into the residence before Yeon-ho-jeong. I had absolutely no home of my own.
Mukbi, who was watching the scene from the side, said with a shocked face.
“There are really a lot of amazing people in Gangho, right?”
“That person is the highlight of all. “It’s hard to find a fool like that.”
“Except for my family, everyone I know is abnormal.”
“I know. “You’re not normal either, right?”
“What am I!”
“Okay, do you want to have a drink too?”
Mukbi shook his head as if he was disgusted.
“You want me to deal with that horrible hangover? I’m done. “I want to rest.”
“You can just drink it in moderation.”
“It’s okay.”
“I get it. “Rest.”
“See you later.”
“Don’t forget to wash before you rest.”
“It’s much cleaner than you!”
Mukbi wheezed and entered his quarters.
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned. He also has a taste for teasing.
After a while, a small drinking table was set up at Yeon Ho-jeong’s residence. It was thanks to the inmates and servants of Chilseonggak (七星閣), which was now the residence of the Sixth Generation rather than the Seven Generations, that they carried the drinking table into the room.
“Here, take a drink…”
I tried to fill his glass, but he suddenly picked up the bottle and took a gulp.
‘Nabal…?’
It’s a pretty strong drink, isn’t it? Wouldn’t that hurt my stomach?
Well, it seemed like a monstrous stomach that had digested twelve pounds of pork could easily handle it. Yeon Ho-jeong grumbled and filled his glass.
“Have you always liked drinking that much?”
“Ooh! “Is there a beggar in the world who doesn’t like alcohol?”
“Still, it’s a bit harsh.”
“That’s it. “Wow, I drank a bottle and I got really drunk.”
Full-sang buried his back in the chair. My neck was slowly turning red. It was clear that he had forcibly suppressed his inner energy.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Still, you seem to be doing well.”
“What if I have a healthy body? “My mind hurts.”
“That’s right. “You weren’t this crazy beggar, were you?”
“….”
“Why are you doing that?”
“You’ve changed quite a bit since I haven’t seen you, huh?”
“exactly?”
“In the past, you used to stab me with a knife, but now you smile and slap me.”
“I understand that means it’s better now.”
“Both are bad!”
Full-sang grumbled.
“Anyway, you seem to be healthy too. “You’ve done a lot of dangerous things, right?”
“hmm?”
“I caught Myeong Heo-rim, George Mo Yong-yeon, stabbed the assassins, and harpooned the Zhejiang trader. What else was there?”
“As expected, you knew everything, right?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Why did I give you the Ojeongpae? “My kids used it well.”
“Thanks to you, it makes things quite easy.”
Full Sang’s face became serious.
“Let’s talk about the past.”
After making such a fuss about having drinks, it seems like he ended up having a lot to talk about with Yeon Ho-jeong.
“First of all, there is something I want to ask you.”
“Please speak.”
“Are you the Anhui blood palace that came with you?”
In most cases, it would be better not to hide the truth from Geung-sang.
“It’s not Anhui Blood Palace. However, it does belong to Gwanilgok.”
“Please explain in detail.”
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke about Baekhyang’s past without exception. What kind of group is Gwanilgok and how did the name Anhui Blood Palace come to be known to the world?
Full-sang’s eyes widened.
“A murderous religion? Indeed, there are still quite a few mysterious sects in Gangho that we don’t know about.”
“I heard it’s closer to a religion than a sect.”
“so? To stop them, you borrowed a sword called Namgung Sega and cut down a place called Gwanilgok?”
“exactly.”
Full-sang stuck out his tongue.
“How many lives? “Oh my god, if you were caught doing something like that against the Namgung family, you would be in big trouble!”
“You didn’t get caught.”
“…I have nothing to say since you say that.”
“And I didn’t lie. Anhui Blood Palace is someone from the Yesin Joint Battle that took place five years ago. Geumgeommun was caught up in that strange battle of life and death and went extinct.”
“Tsk.”
“In the end, it was a good thing for the Namgung family. “Because we captured the Anhui blood palace.”
Full-sang nodded.
“Anyway, the question has been resolved. “It was an archer from Gwanilgok who killed the kids in that branch.”
“I am sorry. But I couldn’t give up on that guy.”
“It’s okay. You can’t turn the arrow of resentment towards someone just because they were members of the same organization. “Besides, the wife said she killed the criminal herself, so I’m thankful and sorry.”
At times like this, it was clear that Full Sang was no ordinary person. Even though Eunwon had a warmer heart than anyone else, it was never easy to completely hide it.
“Well, that part was the hardest part. “If that’s the case, I completely understand.”
Only then did Full Sang pour alcohol into his glass.
“What happened to the sprinkler? “I told the kids to investigate separately, but I couldn’t tell where they came from.”
“I don’t know either. “I think they are probably assassins active in Hubei, but I can’t be certain.”
“Hubei? “How did you know?”
“I just got a feeling. “It’s too late to investigate now anyway, so it’s meaningless.”
“That’s true, but…”
After emptying his glass, Full Sang’s eyes flashed.
“Is it Moyongse?”
“I think it is the most likely. “I’m just not sure.”
“I guess so. “He’s got such a shitty personality, so I guess he’ll have at least one enemy?”
“It breaks the head.”
“I am not the enemy. “Don’t misunderstand.”
The two people giggled and laughed. Even though we were talking about serious things, there was a lot of leisure.
But even for a moment.
“Speaking of Mo Yong-se.”
“Please speak.”
Full Sang’s face became serious. He wasn’t the beggar who was begging for drinks just a moment ago.
“Please tell Lord Yeonga to be careful of the Mo Yong family.”
“What’s new?”
“It is said that some of the masters of the famous family who were imprisoned in the Murimmaeng Prison have disappeared.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“I’m not sure, but it seems like a few of them were taken out of the nine factions and the six generations.”
“As allies?”
“I guess so.”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“It would be good if you have the capacity.”
Full Sang frowned.
“Are you saying that now? Regardless of the reason, all members of the Nine Masters Family deserve to be imprisoned and punished according to the law. Even if you are a pillar of the White Path, secretly stealing a criminal is a serious crime.”
“Yes, it is a serious crime, but who will report the crime?”
“….”
“Besides, the current Murim Alliance is temporary. Looking at the atmosphere, it looks like the Murim Alliance will be rebuilt, but if they push it forward without any evidence, they will be the only ones suffering.”
Full Sang sighed deeply.
“It’s because I’m frustrated too. No matter how greedy I am for talent, I secretly steal it without going through the necessary procedures…”
“Human greed transcends law and order. This is why there is no perfect law in the world. “Even if thousands of years pass, the law will continue to change.”
“Huh.”
“And thanks to you, I also benefited a bit.”
“huh? benefit?”
Yeon Ho-jeong said as he filled his glass again.
“The day we were attacked by the assassins, there was also an attack by a pretty strong expert.”
“Gosura? If a practitioner can say that….”
“He uses the four-point sword technique of the Jeomchang school.”
“…!!”
Full-sang’s eyes widened.
“Is that really true?”
“Really. “It was easy to catch him because he was silent, but considering my martial arts skills at the time, it may have been difficult to gain the upper hand in a head-to-head match.”
“…!”
“Age: late thirties to early forties. He had a strong smell of blood. Probably too many people to count…”
“Dream.”
“hmm?”
thud!
Full-sang slammed the table.
“It must be a dream. A great disciple of Jang Mun-in of the Jeomchang sect and a person who acquired the Four-Il Sword Technique, which was said to have been lost. “He is the one who killed Jang Mun-in of the previous generation and disappeared.”
The two people looked at each other.
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“Are you from a famous family?”
“I’m not sure, but that’s what we think in this room.”
“Hmm, your mouth is really heavy. “I’m still locked up in my hometown’s prison.”
Full-sang’s eyes became cold.
“Then, if we trace who took Meng Yi, we will also be able to find out the criminal who tried to kill the practitioner.”
“I guess so.”
“Let’s find out right away starting today…”
“That’s enough.”
“Ugh?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“If Prince Moyong was the one who sent the dream, he would have erased all traces. “If you keep hurting unnecessarily, you’ll only make Moyong more nervous.”
“It might not be Mr. Moyong, right? “What are you going to do if it’s a new enemy?”
“Let’s go and think about it then. By any chance? “I wonder if there’s somewhere else I can use it.”
Full-sang pounded his chest.
“I still haven’t gotten rid of my outgoing temperament. This guy! Prince Moyong recently acquired another powerful treasured sword! It’s like having wings on a tiger’s back? “At least we have to make it so they can’t move carelessly!”
“wing?”
“Mo Yong-woo! Mo Yong-sega’s hidden genius! Even the monster who was the head of the Zhejiang branch came under Mo Yong’s command!”
“Is that so?”
“You don’t know Mo Yong-woo, right? That guy is a genius among geniuses that the world doesn’t know about. It’s as if Moyong-gun has become two! Of course, considering its nature….”
“….”
“…What? know?”
“I want to ask. Didn’t you know? “Work was easy thanks to the head of your Hangju branch?”
“I didn’t hear that story? Are you really joining hands with Mo Yong-woo?”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed in relief and buried his back in the chair.
“You don’t have to worry from now on.”
