Episode 123
Moment of Decision (5)
“Matriarch. “A letter has arrived from the Provisional Murim Alliance.”
“Give it here.”
Yeonwi’s eyes twinkled as she opened the letter.
Baekhyun Lee asked curiously.
“What…”
“It’s a letter from Master Bangjang of Shaolin.”
“…!”
“You are saying that we will hold a meeting early next year to decide whether to establish the Murim Alliance. “They want to make a decision within three days.”
Yeonwi sighed.
‘It’s the Murimmaeng.’
The Murim Alliance must be established. Since we don’t know what kind of danger will come in the future, we need a space and position that will become the central point of Baekdo Martial Arts.
However, the committee thought it was unnecessary for now. If the Murim Alliance is created, its maintenance costs will increase three to four times, and this will change the flow of funds to the central government.
Of course, annual leave had nothing to do with it. This is because although they earn an unimaginable amount of money every month, more than half of it is released to stabilize the people’s livelihood. There wasn’t much of a difference if I tightened my belt.
The problem was the small faction.
How can Baekdo Murim be so clean? They will go to great lengths to raise funds, and if they go too far, it will be the common people who ultimately suffer.
‘But…’
He recalled the words of his eldest son, Yeon Ho-jeong.
‘I also believe that it is time for my father to spread his wings to the fullest, something he has never done before.’
‘The position of leader must be left empty for a worthy person. However, we need wise men who will control the world together with the leader.’
Yeonwi seriously considered his son’s remarks.
‘Hojeong probably doesn’t say that for nothing.’
He recognized his eldest son as a well-grown adult.
Before he was a child, Yeon Ho-jeong was a person with a keen eye for insight, and there was a lot to learn from him.
‘There is no way you don’t know the aftermath when the Murim Alliance was established. But the fact that he told me to vote yes means he saw something I didn’t see.’
What is it?
‘Hojeong.’
He remembered Yeon Ho-jeong’s face at that time.
Two clear and deep eyes. However, my son’s appearance at that time was quite different from usual. Something seemed urgent and he was burning with determination to carry out his will.
‘What on earth did you see?’
It was frustrating.
I thought about my son and told him to leave this part to me, but when it came to reality, I was worried.
As Yeonwi was pondering, her eldest son’s words appeared again in her mind.
‘Whenever you are in trouble, never try to solve it alone. Please call me.’
The commission filed a complaint.
‘I was the one who said I would take care of my child, but am I already receiving help from him?’
Can not help it.
Your son is right. Wouldn’t it be better to have a blank piece of paper? My son’s abilities are so outstanding that there is no need to carry him alone.
For a moment, Yeonwi frowned.
‘Anyway, he’s not sending any letters again.’
I’m not angry about this. There is no need to be angry.
I was just worried. I wondered if something had happened while I was out of town and if I was eating on time.
‘The time has come.’
At that time, a murmur was heard outside the window.
Yeonwi’s eyes sparkled.
“Go, matriarch!” The Archduke is back! But…!”
Wow!
Yeonwi quickly opened the office door and went out.
In an instant, he passed through the inner garden and reached the outer garden, where he finally saw Yeonhojeong.
“…?!”
Yeonwi’s expression suddenly changed.
“I’m back, father.”
“What’s wrong with you?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s body was covered in blood. When I saw blood crusting all over the wound, it looked like it was a few days old.
“Please imprison this guy in prison first.”
thud!
What fell to the floor was a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties.
Yeonwi’s eyes became cold.
“What are they doing? “Put the author in prison immediately.”
“yes!”
The warriors rushed over and dragged away the unconscious Mong-ui.
“What happened?”
“It’s a bit long to talk about.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Muk-bi.
“How are you physically?”
“I’m fine. Seniority is the problem.”
Yeonwi shook his head.

“Nothing like this, let’s go to the medical room. “No, I’ll call a doctor, so just wait a moment.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Thank you for calling a doctor, but I wasn’t seriously hurt. Do not worry.”
“Huh.”
Even Yeonwi, the judge and sword of the world, finds it difficult to maintain composure after seeing his son injured. Yeonwi had no choice but to admit that it was the craziest moment in a while.
“First, I will take a shower and change my clothes. Stay silent.”
“yes.”
“Explain it to your father first.”
“Ah yes!”
It was not something to be removed just because the seniority was difficult.
Mukbi bowed his head to Yeonwi.
Yeonwi looked at Yeonhojeong moving away and then consoled himself to remain silent.
“Let’s go to the family room.”
After half an examination.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who stopped by the family home, saw Mukbi’s face filled with joy.
“Are you here?”
“yes.”
“How were the wounds? “The airway is unstable and the face is pale, which appears to be a sign of internal injury.”
“Oh, I was running so quickly that I wasted a lot of energy. “There are no special injuries, so don’t worry too much.”
“Yes…”
Yeonwi nodded.
“I heard about the situation from Bia. “The assassin made a surprise attack?”
“That’s right.”
Yan Wei’s eyes grew cold for an instant.
“Could it be that it is the Moyongse family?”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“I can’t be sure. “Even if I tried to find out something from the assassins, they were so aggressive that I had no choice but to exterminate them.”
“And what about the person who is imprisoned in prison?”
Yeon Ho-jeong filed a complaint.
“I tried making various threats on the way, but my mouth wasn’t usually heavy-handed.”
“….”
“It wasn’t tempered by training. It’s nature. Most people won’t open their mouths. “But I didn’t think they would leave it behind, so I caught it.”
“Oh my…”
“I was afraid there might be someone targeting me again, so I ran too hard.”
“Good job. “It was a good decision.”
My son certainly had an excellent ability to read situations. Regardless of the hardships my son went through, I was proud of him for making such a quick decision in a bloody battle.
“What do you think?”
“I’m not sure, but the most likely one is Moyong-gun.”
Yeon Ho-jeong deliberately used the word ‘Moyong-gun’ rather than ‘Moyong-se’.
Tsutsutsu.
A feeling of death arose from Yeonwi’s body.
“That guy really is…”
Muk Fei’s complexion turned pale.
Yeonwi’s way of life was never extreme. It was quiet and cool. It seemed as if that strange life force would naturally seep into my body and rip my heart veins to shreds.
Yeon Ho-jeong cleared his throat.
“father.”
“hmm? Ah….”
Yeonwi, who immediately put his life to death, sighed.
“I’m sorry Bia.”
“Oh no, father.”
“You must have been through a lot, but I showed my ugly side. “It was really hard.”
Mukbi shook his head.
“I didn’t do anything. “It was all handled by the practitioner.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Do not be ridiculous. If it weren’t for his ruthless marksmanship, he would have been pinned down. “I owe you my life.”
“Oh no. “It’s not really.”
“Why don’t we go in and get some rest? “You must have had a hard time.”
Mukbi secretly noticed Yeonwi’s gaze.
Yeonwi nodded.
“Okay, I guess I held you back too long. “Just go in and rest.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Yeonwi opened his mouth again towards Mukbi, who stood up awkwardly.
“It’s rain.”
“Yes, father.”
“Thank you again.”
Mukbi smiled. It was still difficult to relate to him, but I was even more grateful because he was an adult who said thank you so much.
“No, father. “Then I’ll go in first.”
“okay.”
As soon as Mukbi left, Yeonhojeong sat down.
Yeonwi’s eyes became fierce again.
“There is a high probability that it is Moyong-gun?”
From the mouth of Yeonwi, who valued courtesy and formality, three characters came out: Moyonggun, not Moyonggaju. I could see how angry he was.
“Like I said, I’m not sure. This is because these threats can occur anytime, anywhere. There is a high probability that it is Moyong-gun, but we should not rush to conclusions.”
“….”
“The problem is the assassins. They were highly trained assassins. “It is highly likely that even a skilled assassin who has been thoroughly trained in the Heukdo martial arts group can be used as a tool without hesitation.”
Yeonwi’s eyes widened.
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin as if he was thinking hard.
“When looking at the movements of the assassins and the uniqueness of their killing methods, it seems like a lot of southern and northern methods are mixed together. In that case, it seems to be a murder organization operating in Hubei, which has many waterways…”
Yeon Ho-jeong flinched for a moment as he spoke. The way his father looked at him was strange.
Yeon Ho-jeong hurriedly continued speaking.
“In any case, it is currently difficult to determine the organization they belong to. “It’s difficult to ask for help from the government.”
“…How do you know so much about them?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“I just picked up a lot of things.”
Many of those who made a name for themselves in the Black Island martial arts world had deep knowledge of assassins.
There is no need to mention Yeon Ho-jeong, who made a name for himself at the peak of the Black Island martial arts. In fact, didn’t they create a separate organization under the Black Empire based on their characteristics and methods?
“However, if the target was not me but my annual leave, the problem becomes bigger.”
“what?”
“It doesn’t matter if you hate me, but if you hate Yeonga, it’s a different story. “I tried to come with Jipyeong, but I didn’t want the assassins’ traces to go that way, so I came as fast as I could.”
“if?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“yes. We need to send someone there. “At least to prepare for an unexpected attack.”
Several emergency response equipment were also sent to Yeonjipyeong. But that may not be enough.
“But that doesn’t mean I can go. “If the target is just me, even Jipyeong will be involved for no reason.”
“You are right.”
“As the situation is critical, please allow me to unseal the Great Lord Chang-eung. Otherwise, it would be better to solve the low-ranking swordsmen.”
Prosecutor Bicheon were the peak experts that Yeonga possessed. They were sword demons who lived about 10 miles away from the Yeon family’s main family, and the Yeon family’s Jinsin Jeolgi were especially invested in them.
“But even so, the current prosecutors of low-ranking officials are overcoming a big juncture. “There’s no need to touch it at such an important moment.”
“But father.”
“I will go myself.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes widened.
“Your father?”
“It’s better for me to go alone than to take a lot of people with me.”
Yeonwi’s martial arts skills compete for the highest level even among the heads of the six generations. Even a decent assassin organization can be easily defeated, and even if they don’t fight, they can be defeated in the blink of an eye.
“If you do this, the family will…”
“You take charge of it.”
“yes?”
Yeonwi stood up, pulled out the long sword hanging on the wall, and put it on his belt.
“You are the head of the household when your father is away. “You will protect the family home until Abby returns.”
Yeonwi turned around.
“Be back in three days.”
Yeonwi kept his promise.
Yeonwi, who returned to Yeonga three days later with Yeon Ji-pyeong on his back, looked the same as when he left. There wasn’t a single speck of dust on the fluttering clothes.
But Yeon Ho-jeong knew. How urgently my father ran.
The head of the Byeoksan Yeonga, the best expert in Gangdong.
The soles of his shoes were completely worn out, unable to withstand the terrifying divine law that had reached its peak.
