Episode 965
Flames covering the sky (5)
It was after midnight when the group arrived at the imperial palace.
The imperial palace gatekeepers asked with nervous faces.
“What about you?”
On behalf of everyone, Yeonwi handed over a visiting album for the delegation given by the Murim Alliance.
The Hydrological Commission said after checking the visitor log.
“Please wait a moment.”
Yeonwi stood there without saying a word.
Yang Chen, who was standing a long way away, focused his mind and looked around the imperial palace.
“…this.”
Peng Wugang asked.
“How can you say that?”
Yang Chen’s face was filled with shock. There was also a hint of surprise, enthusiasm, and incomprehension.
“That’s incredible. “What on earth is this hot energy…?”
“What do you mean by heat energy?”
Yang Chen did not answer. I wasn’t in the mood to answer.
‘It’s huge.’
Even before arriving at the imperial palace, he had a feeling that there was no particular commotion here. It was the same with Yeonwi.
It was truly strange. It was incomprehensible that no fight took place even after receiving notification that the Shinhwa Church’s forces had arrived.
A situation where the emperor may have already died without anyone knowing. So they sped up even more and shortened the time even further.
But no matter how much I thought about it, there was no way the emperor was dead. This is because there are numerous masters by his side and, crucially, an army of mad spirits.
And now.
Arriving in front of the imperial palace, Yang Cheon realized that there was an overwhelmingly strong man within the imperial palace, which was larger than most villages.
‘Even though I barely feel any energy.’
It’s so far away that you can’t even feel its presence. Rather, the traces of fraud that was inferred to be that of the light spirit demon army and the traces of a similar yeolyanggi were clearly readable.
However, a very faint ray of prayer was caught by Yang Chen’s sensitive senses.
Yangcheon was able to feel what Gokyeong, the light spirit demon, could not feel.
‘I can’t believe that just a small fragment of true energy can give such an intense feeling.’
Yang Chen’s hair twitched uncontrollably and rose into the sky.
The Black Lion is about to activate on its own. This feeling makes your whole body tense just by feeling the energy.
This was the first time I had felt this much tension since my battle with the Four Masters.
‘no way?’
After a while.
“Please come in, but the government and allied forces must be stationed near the outer walls of the imperial palace.”
“Thank you.”
It seemed like the place had been prepared from the beginning.
So the group entered the imperial palace.
Yan Wei, Peng Wugang, and Yang Cheon separated from their troops and entered the inner palace. Because there was a call from the emperor.
Originally, there was a law against running inside the palace, but for the party, such a law had no meaning. I didn’t know what would happen to the emperor’s life right now, but it wasn’t a situation where I could go into detail about the law.
The three people headed to the royal palace following the guidance of the commander of the imperial palace guard.
The more they ran, the more Yeonwi and Yangcheon’s faces hardened.
“It’s huge.”
“That’s right.”
Yeonwi’s eyes were filled with tension.
“There is a strong man similar to yours. It literally has a lava-like energy. “If a fight were to break out, it would be difficult to guarantee a clear victory unless you were a senior.”
This means that it is difficult to guarantee victory with one’s current abilities.
Yang Chen shook his head.
“But the real problem is someone else.”
“yes. “It’s hard to express how incredible it is.”
Yang Cheon looked at Yeon Wi with surprised eyes.
“Did you feel it too?”
“It’s weak, but… yes. “I can feel it.”
“her!”
“Sam-gun, no, now it’s two-gun. “If a master whose power is similar to Lee’s is lava, then the owner of this subtle energy has the same power as the sun.”
“That’s amazing. “I thought it would be difficult to feel it at the current state of Yeongaju, but your heart and sword are truly great.”
“That’s too much praise.”
Peng Mu-gang quietly intervened.
“I don’t know. Who is the person in question?”
“I don’t know who it is, but who could it be?”
“no way?!”
Yeonwi’s hand automatically touched the imperial sword.
“I don’t know why the head of the Shinhwa Church is in the palace.”
* * *
The emperor said, putting down the teacup.
“How about it?”
“….”
“They are troops dispatched from Murim to protect the luggage.”
A smile appeared on Ki Cheon-woong’s face as he sat comfortably at the foot of the stairs, sipping tea.
“They are very strong people. “Of the two masters who have reached the realm of heaven and fire, one is highly trained and the other has mysterious abilities.”
“You should have learned martial arts, too. It’s amazing every time I see it. “That feeling.”
“If the emperor had learned martial arts, he wouldn’t have become an ordinary expert.”
After a while.
“your majesty.”
Before the commander could continue his words, the emperor spoke.
“Come on in.”
“I accept Your Majesty’s orders.”
The door to the royal palace opened.
hook!
The wind blowing outside the door violently shook the candlestick inside the royal palace.
Yeon Wei and Peng Mu-gang fought on the spot.
“I have an audience with Your Majesty the Emperor.”
The emperor smiled.
“It’s really been a while since I’ve seen you.”
“It’s an honor to see you again.”
“Jim is like that too. Even if you don’t know martial arts, you can tell that he has been trained to an even greater level in the meantime. “It was a lot of hardship.”
Gokgyeong, which was founded after the emperor, also couldn’t help but admire Yeonwi. Compared to the last time I saw him in the Murim Alliance, it was truly a world of difference.
‘There is no such thing as a monster rich person.’
and.
“You.”
Finally, the Emperor and Yang Chen looked at each other.
Unholy, Yang Chen did not fight with all his might. I just look at the emperor with transparent eyes.
The emperor also did not feel displeased with Yang Chen, who did not immediately bow to him.
We just looked into each other’s eyes and tried to feel each other.
The unknown atmosphere between the two people had a unique edge even among the gathering of experts who could blow up the entire imperial palace.
How much time has passed?
The emperor opened his mouth.
“It’s the same.”
“….”
“Good eyes. “You can feel the fierce beastliness of the candle-filled eyes and the majesty of the absolute.”
“….”
“I guessed that he would be the embodiment of greed filled with greed, but I really didn’t know that he would be such a manly expert.”
The emperor’s words were filled with admiration that could not be hidden.
Only then did Yangcheon’s mouth open.
“He ascended to the throne with the talent bestowed upon him by heaven, and was a noble prince who did not rest on his talents but worked hard for the people. However, one day, he became greedy for luxury and abandoned government affairs, and he turned into a dark ruler that the civil and military officials deplored.”
Yan Wei and Peng Wugang’s eyes wavered.
Interest arose on the emperor’s face, and a strange smile appeared on Gi Cheon-woong’s face, who did not look back.
Yang Cheon continued calmly.
“However, after avoiding the eyes of enemies he could not defeat as a dark warrior, he finally realized that the time had come, threw off the filth he had been wearing, and returned to the light. He regained the qualities of a monarch bestowed by heaven and restored peace and justice to the endless world. It will be established.”
“….”
“Many people say that about Your Majesty.”
Peng Wugang cursed inwardly.
It’s not respectful, it’s semi-respectful. It was a moment when it wasn’t strange for a fiery shout to come out right away.
But surprisingly.
“is it?”
“exactly.”
“Then, excluding the judgment of the world, what kind of person is Jim in your eyes?”
“You can’t judge someone you haven’t even had a decent conversation with yet.”
Yangcheon said he was a person.
The Emperor is a god sent from heaven. It was blasphemous to call such a person an obvious person in such a place.
However, this time too, the emperor accepted Yang Chen’s words with a smile.
“Aren’t we able to get a rough idea of what kind of person the other person is without even having a conversation?”
“Has Your Majesty reached that level?”
“It’s been decades. “It’s also the reason I was able to become a cancer fighter.”
“….”
“So you don’t have those eyes?”
Yang Chen, who was quietly looking at the emperor, slowly made up his mind.
“Yang Cheon, who serves as vice-lord of the Mukryongbu of the Black Island Martial Alliance in the southern part of the continent, meets with the master of the empire.”
“ha ha ha!”
The emperor burst out laughing.
To him, Yang Cheon’s life-risking generosity and quick recognition were like a sweeter gift than heavenly nectar.
“Yeonhojeong, that young hero suddenly started talking about marriage, so I felt angry for a while, thinking that this guy was trying to take advantage of my burden.”
“….”
“Looking at the talented person who will become the royal family’s successor, I don’t think it would be enough to give tens of thousands of gold and hundreds of thousands of pyeong of rice fields to the Gangdong Yeon family. Jim clearly saw that the head of the Heukdo Murim was a giant born to the times.”
If Yang Chen’s evaluation greatly cheered the emperor, the emperor’s evaluation more than made Yang Chen’s heart flutter.
A meeting of giants and giants. As they acknowledged each other, the tense atmosphere of the royal palace was suddenly filled with heavy tenderness.
“Just get up now.”
Three people stood up.
“There’s no need to say much. “It’s not my responsibility to discuss the law in a place like this, so please make yourself comfortable even if it’s too much for you to do at home.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the three people walked forward.
Slowly and calmly.
But with a step that never lets one’s guard down.
There was a hint of blue in Yeonwi’s eyes.
My heart is pounding.
I saw a blond-haired man in a white robe sitting comfortably under the podium, drinking tea.
Even though I am getting closer step by step, my field of vision seems to be two to three times bigger.
The person itself is big. It was a presence that seemed even bigger because it gave the feeling of being out of the loop.
The blonde man in Yeonwi’s eyes was like that. And although not as much as Yan Wei, Peng Wu-gang could also see at a glance that the man in front of him was nothing short of extraordinary.
Yangcheon was different.
‘It’s burning.’
In Yang Chen’s eyes, the blond white man was not a person but fire.
The huge fire was constantly changing colors and roaring. The closer I get, the more I feel the heat on my face.
Although they all saw different things, the three were able to intuit.
The identity of that enemy, or the identity of that giant.
“That’s amazing.”
widely.
The fingers that put down the teacup were so gentle that they were called “seomseomoksu” even though they had the large bones of a westerner.
“The fight between those who reach this level is won or lost in a split second. You can reach a higher level, but one mistake can cause all the effort you’ve made to disappear. Nevertheless, I thought I could handle the three heavenly fire beasts of the central plains alone.”
The voice that came out was low and strong.
Yet, it is so soft that the moment it penetrates into your ear, the strength in your limbs is released. It was a strange voice.
“I was wrong. If all the Cheonhwasu in the central plains were like you, our school’s troops alone would have been too much. “There was no other reason why the demons of light-bloodedness and evil-doing had been making a fuss about doing the work for decades.”
He slowly turned his head.
“With you two, my life is in danger even if I don’t let my guard down. “Ever since I was young, I heard that the power of the Jungwon martial arts group was like lava, but I never thought I would feel it in this way.”
Slurp.
The Shinhwa cult leader slowly stands up and turns around.
All of the pale muscles were revealed through the loose toenails on the still bare feet.
A body that covers the body. The bright candlesticks on the left and right sides of his statue made his blonde hair look like a lion’s mane.
Yeonwi said in a heavy voice.
“Shinhwa cult leader.”
Gi Cheon-woong nodded.
“It’s called Gi Cheon-woong.”
Yeonwi raised the imperial sword.
Although he did not draw it, the hand on the sword was ready to strike like a thunderbolt at any time.
Ki Cheon-woong’s blue eyes turned dark.
“Would you like to try pulling it out?”
Yeonwi’s answer was overwhelming.
“Where do you want to die?”
