Episode 1001
Into the Abyss (1)
Rumbling! Grumble!
It is a sound similar to thunder, but much darker and deeper than thunder.
Most of the warriors who had blocked the front of Yeonhojeong stumbled and fell to the ground at the sound that rang out like an explosion.
“Huh!”
“Sigh!!”
Their pale, white faces were filled with instinctive fear.
Hwaaaaaaa!
Hot air rushes in. The air, boiling like hot water, was clearly deadly.
Although he lived a life, it was fundamentally different from the life shown by other warriors. It was not a life that flowed out for any reason, but a primal life that wanted to kill for no reason.
Of course, the temperament itself is different from the lethality that humans exude. Living without purpose means destruction in itself. The will to kill and destroy everything in sight required no interpretation.
‘Crazy…’
Without realizing it, Jinyang took a few steps away from Yeonhojeong and swallowed dry saliva.
‘Has this person suddenly gone crazy?!’
It’s not because I’m trying to survive in this situation. It makes me think that he is crazy because he cannot unleash this kind of brutal killing without losing his humanity. Looking at this life, I even thought that a place called hell could really exist in the world.
‘Nonsense. No human being could do this. This is dangerous…!’
At that time, Jinyang looked into Yeonhojeong’s eyes.
The deep, clear pupils within the stern gaze did not contain an ounce of malice.
It was quiet and discreet. At the same time, there was a feeling of sadness, even sadness.
‘….’
Why?
It was an aura full of malice that made you wonder who else in the world, throughout all times, could unleash such murderous acts, but Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were so transparent that they revealed his identity.
Yeon Ho-jeong was not like the devil mentioned in Buddhism.
He was still human.
Jinyang, who was looking at Yeonhojeong with trembling eyes, also had a look of determination on his face.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Jinyang’s prayer, which became like fire, or flame itself, could not pierce Yeonhojeong’s deadly spirit in the slightest.
However, it played a role in further encouraging Yeon Ho-jeong to live. Now that we have confirmed that Yeon Ho-jeong is not really a devil, he will only be with the captain forever.
Kugoogung! Kugugoogung!
The incontinence that started at Yeon Ho-jeong’s feet continued all the way to the Namgung family’s gate.
It was incontinence that spread like lightning. The warriors who were pounding on their butts instantly saw an illusion of sulfurous fire gushing out from among the incontinence.
“Aaaah!”
They scream and scatter left and right.
There were no exceptions for anyone. Their eyes, which were full of faith, were filled with only extreme fear.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly looking around at them, slowly walked away.
Grumble! Grumble!
Golden smoke rose with each step on the ground.
Jinyang, who was walking behind him, suddenly noticed that the golden smoke rising from the feet of Yeonhojeong was quite dark.
That smoke is the process in which the true energy of Yeonhojeong is arbitrarily released and dissipated into the air. In other words, it has the same properties as the golden energy waves emitted by Yeonhojeong.
But it’s still dark. The gold light, which had lost its original shine, looked cloudy like a piece of old yellow cloth.
That wasn’t all.
The gold mine burning above Yeonhojeong’s shoulder also turned dark yellow. It was slowly but surely turning into darkness.
Jinyang’s eyes wavered.
‘It’s changing.’
The truth was changing.
Even Jinyang, a transcendental expert, saw the color of tangible Jinki change in real time for the first time. I didn’t even know what that meant.
However, it was clear that the change was not unusual.
Sreuk.
Yeon Ho-jeong, standing in front of the gate, looked at the two prosecutors guarding the entrance.
They didn’t even dare to look at Yeon Ho-jeong. With a pale face, he just swallowed his saliva and stared straight ahead.
‘indeed.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s ability to control upper body energy has not yet reached its ultimate level. I tried to cause as little damage as possible, but the energy waves that flowed without my knowledge would have reached the prosecutors as well.
Still, it doesn’t fall down. Even though my whole body was drenched in cold sweat, I stood until the end.
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“I came to meet the head of the Nangung family.”
“….”
“Open the door.”
Both hands of the prosecutors were shaking.
I almost opened the door without realizing it. Not only was his energy powerful, but his voice itself was filled with great majesty. It was a command from a transcendent being that one could not dare to refuse.
One of the prosecutors said, closing his eyes tightly.
“If you hadn’t contacted me in advance… I wouldn’t have been able to see the matriarch…”
“You understand, right?”
“Yes yes?!”
“I’m sure you understand that as long as senior Noh isn’t here, I can blow up the whole place if I want to.”
“…!!”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked around at the warriors who had retreated to the left and right.
The warriors did not dare to make eye contact with Yeon Ho-jeong. I was so shocked that I just lowered my head and trembled.

It was an overwhelming sight.
The majority were top-notch, and there were quite a few peak experts. Even these people are consumed by Yeonhojeong’s momentum and do not dare to make eye contact.
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his eyes to the prosecutor again.
“If I had the will to destroy this place, I would have gone in swinging the ax first.”
“…!”
“do not worry. “The sinister things you think of won’t happen.”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his eyes to the front door.
“Open the door. “I don’t want to break it.”
In the end, the prosecutors lowered their heads and opened the door.
Although they were overwhelmed by the force, the prosecutors of Namgung actually did not view Yeon Ho-jeong negatively. Rather, after meeting with Lord Taesang, almost all of them admired Yeonhojeong.
Before Yeon Ho-jeong knew his feelings, he did not forcefully push him like he did with other warriors.
I’m sorry.
The door opened.
Yeon Ho-jeong and Jinyang immediately took steps.
Huh. Phew.
Even after going inside, Yeonhojeong’s cloudy yellow energy wafted out like smoke.
The prosecutors slowly closed the door.
And right before the door completely closes.
hook.
The yellow haze that had been flowing out had turned almost completely black.
thud!
* * *
Even though Yeon Ho-jeong entered Namgung’s residence, he did not say anything.
Furthermore, he did not lose his momentum. The exuding charm disappeared, but the unique, overwhelming majesty was still preserved.
‘It shows so many different sides.’
A complex expression appeared on Jinyang’s face as he looked at Yeonhojeong’s back.
Even the good-natured Jinyang didn’t dare to say a word. The atmosphere in Yeonhojeong was that serious.
‘Are you angry?’
Yes. Yeon Ho-jeong is angry now.
But I wasn’t just angry. Even as he radiated that destructive murderous spirit, his eyes were so deep and clear.
His eyes showed a hint of sadness, as if he was saddened by the coming reality.
Jinyang followed him with her mouth shut.
There was no one visible inside the residence. However, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t popular.
Namgung prosecutors were stationed throughout the building. However, no one appeared in front of Yeonhojeong.
In that way, they entered the inner circle very easily.
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“Do you think there are ways to manipulate others other than power or affectionate appeals?”
It was a sudden question.
Jinyang spoke in a somewhat subdued voice.
“Are you talking about seophonjutsu?”
“Except because it’s a hex.”
“Well… is there a way to do that? Well, if it’s a threat or something like that….”
“Threats would be a good way too.”
“….”
“People can control others. Actually, I have manipulated many people too. Of course, there were many times when I failed.”
“What do you mean?”
“A representative example was the head of the previous party.”
Jeondae Danggaju refers to Danghyeong, King Amwang, father of Danggwan.
“He never wanted to leave the family’s outskirts. Even though the family is being trampled by the hands of foreign enemies. “No matter how great the conflict with my son was, I wondered if it had to be that way.”
“…Because there are all kinds of people in the world.”
“I don’t think you entered the war solely because of my persuasion. There must have been another reason. But if it weren’t for my persuasion, he wouldn’t have come out until the family collapsed.”
“….”
“In other words, as a result, I manipulated people.”
“The tone is a bit off, but… well, you could say that.”
“So did you.”
Jinyang chuckled.
“yes. If I were to say that I was manipulated, I was worse than the previous head of the family. “With just a few words, I threw away my position and became attached to you.”
“yes.”
“But why are you suddenly saying that?”
“You were easy to convince. I looked into your heart. “I made you realize what you really wanted and brainwashed you by telling you that I could give you more.”
Jinyang giggled. He was the one whose face finally relaxed.
“That’s right. That brainwashing was really terrible. “I see that I don’t feel bad even now that I’m hearing the word brainwashing.”
“It’s because I’m sincere.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice did not waver one bit.
“I really wanted you. It would be nice if you were with me, but even if we couldn’t be together, I thought it would be good for you to soar to a higher place. “I really hoped so.”
“….”
“It’s a cliché, but you can say my sincerity came through.”
“Furthermore, your speech was very good.”
“Speech skills… yes, speaking skills are also an important weapon. “A weapon to control others.”
“But why are you suddenly saying that?”
It rattled.
As I opened the middle door and entered, I saw a pavilion in the distance.
And on top of the pavilion, a middle-aged man was sipping alcohol with his back turned.
Yeon Ho-jeong said while looking at the man.
“To listen to the voices of losers in a region, you have to have a certain level of subjectivity. “With a soft personality, you can never hear the sound of rout.”
“I absolutely agree.”
“So to speak, Gaju Nangong was not persuaded like you. “I was threatened.”
A subtle anger flickered in Jinyang’s eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong walked to the pavilion.
After walking together for a while, Jinyang pulled out the sword from behind his back and looked around. It serves as an escort.
thud!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was leaning the Gwangryongbu on the pillar under the pavilion, approached Namgung-in.
“….”
Namgung-in’s face seemed to have aged even more without seeing it.
His eyes were dull and his beard had grown uncontrollably. It was uncharacteristic of him to always maintain a neat appearance that could be considered exemplary.
dump.
Yeon Ho-jeong sat across from Namgung-in.
Namgoongin laughed bitterly.
“Was it yesterday?”
“….”
“I thought about it as soon as I heard you joined the union. “He will come to me sooner or later.”
“Namgoong family.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes calmed down.
“Who are you?”
It was a word without end.
His words, which were cut back and forth, meant to ask who was the one who threatened the world’s Nangung family.
Namgung-in, who was quietly looking down at his glass, emptied it.
“Yeongaju would be nice. “My two sons are so healthy…”
“I didn’t come here to listen to your complaints.”
“….”
“If it weren’t for my relationship with my senior Geomje, I would have already started by cutting off one of your arms.”
Namgung-in glared at Yeon Ho-jeong with bloodshot eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes grew colder by the minute.
“Who are you?”
Namgung-in’s eyes, which were quietly looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, gradually lost their strength.
“How many times would it be possible for a person to collapse upon hearing the sound of a region’s rout?”
“If you change your mind one more time, I will just kill you.”
“….”
“Who are you?”
Namgoongin closed his eyes tightly.
“…He is my son.”
