Episode 237
Conflict (7)
Argh!
Yeonhojeong’s divine law running through the Guando was literally like a bird.
Even though he was holding a spear in his hand, his movements were incredibly light, and he seemed free as if he was not carrying anything.
‘That’s amazing.’
Water Dragon, who followed him, inwardly clicked his tongue at Yeonhojeong’s divine law.
‘I heard he’s a junior who hasn’t even made it to Irip yet… Does that mean he’s that good at martial arts?’
It is not difficult to infer the opponent’s state just by looking at the movements of the toes while performing a shinshinjutsu.
Although I heard it, it felt like I had really broken through the barrier of ignorance at such a young age.
‘So-called genius.’
The water dragon had a bitter taste for some reason.
‘They say there are a lot of monsters in the world.’
If it’s martial arts, it’s martial arts, if it’s resourcefulness, it’s resourcefulness.
Literally, it is a combination of both civil and martial arts. Even though he has just passed his contract, he is at that level. In the next ten years, he may reach a level where he can discuss the whole world.
‘That’s not fun.’
They even rank higher than the zodiac signs within the department.
All members of the Chinese zodiac claimed to be Yang Cheon’s confidants and were quite satisfied with that. Still, I couldn’t help but feel bitter.
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“I will be staying at Cheonseongru, about 300 yards away. You had a hard time running. “We will be leaving early in the morning the next day, so please refrain from drinking if possible.”
The artist who was following me chuckled for no reason.
“Can’t you even drink? “I have a hard time sleeping if I don’t drink.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s answer was overwhelming.
“When this mission is over, please at least get a check-up from a doctor. “Your liver must have rotted away by now.”
Hwawon’s face turned red.
“this…!”
At that time, the doctor came out.
“Hwawon.”
“….”
“He is the head of the intelligence department. “Be polite.”
Hwawon snorted.
“Why is the world’s greatest illusionist appearing in such a low manner? why? “Did that guy even buy you good drinks?”
“A flower garden!”
“shut up! “Don’t care what I say!”
The mad dog, which had been silent until now, opened its mouth.
“Whatever you say is up to you, but if you’re going to whine and say you don’t like the result, it’s better to shut up now.”
The painter’s face was very distorted.
They say dogs and monkeys don’t get along? In fact, the two hated each other terribly.
“You wanna die?”
“Do you have the skills to kill?”
“이 개새끼가!”
thud!
A powerful wave of internal energy shook the entire Guando.
Yeon Ho-jeong said calmly.
“I’m not just going to have fun.”
“….”
“If you cause unnecessary trouble again, I will punish you on the spot, regardless of the reason.”
He turned his head.
A very cold eye turned towards the garden.
“You had better be extra careful. “I want to tell you in advance that the mission will not be hindered without you.”
The painter’s face turned red.
It felt like her eyes were going to roll over with anger, but she didn’t dare open her mouth. It was because he knew that that crazy guy could really kill him.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who immediately settled the situation, started running at the front again.
The mad dog glanced at the monk.
‘He’s a pretty bloody guy, isn’t he?’
The doctor nodded slightly, but there was no reply.
The mad dog shrugged and followed quietly.
That’s how the group arrived at Cheonseongru.
bang!
After receiving guidance from Jeomsoi, the painter went straight to his residence.
The mad dog clicked its tongue.
“If that b*tch lives like that, she won’t be able to be expelled.”
Cheongho said.
“This is a message from the head of the intelligence department. Let’s rest at our respective residences today. “We will meet at the base entrance until mid-morning tomorrow.”
“okay.”
“You should consider the mission to have begun now. “Don’t start a fuss and stay quiet.”
Although there was no separate hierarchy within the zodiac, when the same mission was assigned, the four people in the zodiac group often took control of the situation.
This was the reason why the zodiac signs with pride and strong personalities silently listened to Cheongho’s words.

The Hwansa said.
“I’ll tell the painter separately. “Because she seems the most anxious.”
“Do it that way.”
“Anyway, what about the head of the intelligence department?”
“He went up to the top floor. “It looks like he’ll probably stay up all night.”
“I get it. Now, let’s slowly disperse.”
In this way, the five zodiac signs entered their respective residences.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who went up to the top floor alone, ordered a simple meal and a cup of tea.
‘hmm.’
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was eating leisurely, suddenly felt a figure approaching secretly.
‘You’re here.’
After a while, a sound rang in his ears.
[It is open.]
[Tomorrow, at the first hour of Yusi, I will meet with the head of the Moyong family. Please tell Huge as is.]
[I understand. And there was a message from Hugai.]
[Say.]
[He told me to ask if reinforcements were needed.]
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
‘Reinforcements.’
If all goes according to plan, reinforcements will not be needed.
However, things in this world cannot be even an inch certain. In the first place, he didn’t know that Yang Chen would fall like this and that the black sheep might approach him before that.
There was nothing bad because the preparation was thorough.
[The request for reinforcements is approved. The unit requesting support is the Mortal Army.]
[I understand.]
Just like that, any sign of openness disappeared.
They also seemed to be quite cautious about opening. Yeon Ho-jeong was also extremely sensitive, so if he hadn’t known it was coming, he would have missed it.
It is truly rare for someone to use this level of stealth.
‘Reinforcements.’
A faint glow appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
‘I hope they’re doing well.’
Death.
Although we haven’t been together that long, we’ve crossed countless lines of fire with them.
Before the Four Seasons, a lot of hard work went into eliteizing the Mortal Death Army. If you approach it recklessly in the way of the black path, there will inevitably be a backlash, so I taught each person with patience and sincerity.
And then the actual battle followed.
Surprisingly, not a single person has died in the Deathless Army, which has fought countless battles. There were many times when I almost died, but fortunately everyone got through it.
‘I guess you’ve been training hard all this time.’
In fact, not much time has passed since I joined the league.
But is it because life here was so eventful? A little over two months felt like almost two years.
‘Mukbi must have trained him well.’
Mukbi was the person who looked shy on the outside, but showed more strength than anyone else when needed.
It was the same before returning to the past and it was the same after returning.
In addition, the current Mukbi had one major weapon that he could not cultivate in the past when he was called Shingung (神弓).
It was a network.
‘You must have been very busy, but my father would have helped me with silence whenever he had time. You must have become a completely different expert by now.’
My heart was pounding.
How far have all the soldiers of the Mortal Death Army progressed since Mukbi, Okcheong, Pang Manho, and others have progressed?
‘If you don’t improve much, you’ll be in hell training as soon as you get back, you guys.’
That was when Yeonhojeong was smiling happily without even realizing it.
“joy!”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head.
A painter was walking not far away.
“I thought you were the cold-blooded Han of all time. Do you know how to make that kind of expression?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Because I too am a person with sound skin.”
The painter frowned. I didn’t like Yeonhojeong’s leisureliness at all.
Yeon Ho-jeong sipped tea.
“So what happened so far?”
“I want to have a drink.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a calm expression as he picked up a piece of meat.
“Do you want to die like that?”
The painter grumbled.
“That’s why I came here to ask for permission.”
“….”
“I’m not lying. “I can’t sleep if I don’t drink.”
“Do I really need to sleep at that level? “It’s not like I’m going to be able to show off my skills if I stay up all day.”
“Are you serious about that?”
“….”
“Let me be clear. I hate you. “The fact that you are higher in rank than me, the zodiac sign, is enough to cause competition.”
“I know that just by looking at your face.”
“But a mission is a mission. Don’t you need to get your body in tip-top shape? “Something might happen there.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Otherwise, that’s true.”
The painter relaxed his back. There was already a bottle of alcohol in her hand.
“Can I sit across from you?”
“Either way.”
Hwawon quickly sat down, opened the cork, and took a drink.
I drink it all in one gulp. As if it wasn’t a lie, her face was already overflowing with composure after taking a few sips of alcohol in one go.
Yeon Ho-jeong concentrated on eating his food without even looking at her. I skipped lunch and was very hungry.
“Hmm.”
Hwawon quietly crossed her arms and looked at Yeonhojeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked calmly.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Because it’s fascinating.”
“what?”
“How on earth did you become such a monster at that age?”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the flower garden.
The painter’s face was flushed. The energy was dispersed by breaking the cycle so that it did not scatter.
“There are too many geniuses in the world to be called monsters like me.”
“That is truly unlucky.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“If you’ve had enough to drink, then come on in.”
“I’m going to empty this and leave.”
“It wasn’t just a few drinks.”
“I use a bowl as a glass. “I don’t lie.”
The painter’s eyes turned ghastly.
“Unlike you.”
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth rose.
“Do you still doubt me?”
“There is no physical evidence. But that’s because I’m a b*tch with a very twisted personality. “Until the clear truth is revealed, anyone who doubts once will continue to doubt until the end.”
“You have a pretty tiring personality.”
“This is something I hear a lot. “That rabid dog especially loves it.”
Yeonhojeong played with his chopsticks again without answering.
The artist who was quietly looking at him smiled.
“Take a sip.”
“…?”
“Don’t you feel like drinking while eating that greasy food?”
“well?”
“If you’re worried about losing face in front of others, you can relax. “Even looking like this, the snout is quite heavy.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at the flower garden with incomprehensible eyes, soon burst into laughter.
“I’ll believe you.”
Yeon Ho-jeong took the bottle from Hwa-won’s hand and drank it down.
Hwawon frowned.
“It’s so strong.”
“I have half left, what if I drink it all?”
“I’m out of alcohol, so just go in and sleep. “That’s enough.”
“Tsk.”
The flower gardener grumbled and woke up.
“You’re free starting tomorrow, right? “When the mission is over.”
“okay. After completing the mission, you can disperse. “My mission ends there.”
“great. “There is nothing else to say.”
“good.”
“joy!”
The artist turned and headed towards the stairs, but stopped as if she suddenly remembered something.
“Do you know that, Chief of Intelligence?”
“….”
“Unlike the other zodiac signs, I am an orthodox Black Taoist.”
“so?”
“I mean, I have a bit of a generous side. Unlike idiots who forget to be kind but always repay their grudges, I know how to repay a favor.”
“What do you want to say?”
The flower gardener laughed bitterly.
“I’ll pay you back later for allowing me to drink.”
“That won’t happen.”
“We’ll just have to wait and see.”
“good.”
The painter smiled and turned his head.
Her face, with her back turned, was distorted like a vicious beast.
‘Son of a b*tch. You are now dead.’
Just like that, the painter went down the stairs.
Yeon Ho-jeong rested his chin.
“…The damn b*tch is asking me to kill her on her own.”
Pusssss.
Black smoke rose from the back of his hand.
It was poisonous.
