Episode 300.
A fight without a bell (4)
It was almost midnight that day when Yeon Ho-jeong came to his senses.
“100 million? father?”
“Are you awake?”
Yeonwi smiled and drank tea.
“I saw your condition earlier. “I thought it would happen by now.”
Yeon Ho-jeong scratched his head.
“What time is it now?”
“It was just after midnight.”
“okay.”
Yeonwi said with a proud expression.
“Congratulations. “You have finally obtained the divine altar.”
Yeonga Shindan.
It was the path to the pinnacle of Yeonga martial arts and the beginning of learning Yeonga’s final vision.
In the history of Yeonga, the number of ancestors who formed a Shindan did not exceed three.
Of course, it was not because the other ancestors were lacking in ability. Forming a shrine is an arduous task, but among the family heads of the past, there were quite a few who achieved enlightenment worthy of surpassing the Yeonga shrine.
In other words, it could be said to be a matter of choice: whether to form a new altar and head toward a vision, or to maximize the martial arts one has learned and enter a new path of creation.
Yeonwi chose the latter, and Yeonhojeong chose the former.
Nevertheless, what surprised Yeonwi was that forming the Yeonga Shindan itself required extreme awareness of the Yeonga Divine Art.
“A shrine is like a spring that never runs dry. However, since it is different from the regular Danjeon, it will be difficult to handle it for a while.”
“Yes, I thought so.”
Yeon Ho-jeong repeatedly clenched and unclenched his fists.
‘surely.’
The flow of Jinki has changed.
A martial artist who has learned inner strength trains his Danjeon. Among them, there are martial artists who only train the lower dantian, and there are also martial artists who train all three dantian, upper, middle, and lower.
And while training the three Danjeon, there were also cases where there was a separate Danjeon that was mainly trained.
Yeonhojeong was like that. His upper level battle was in full bloom due to the enlightenment of the Emperor of Darkness, and thanks to this, he was able to possess instantaneous destruction techniques and insight that allowed him to deal with an expert several levels higher than him even with a small amount of power.
Sashinmu Sabangshingi protected the body based on the middle and middle battles, and by strengthening the lower end through Byeoknajingyeol, all martial arts were stably implemented.
It was different now.
Yeongasindan, which is filled with Byeoknajingi and Yongpojingi, along with Sashingi, made the middle and middle halls look like an iron fortress. The energy was so strong that it felt like something was stuck in my solar plexus, making me feel stuffy.
On the other hand, the lower hall was empty as it had been trimmed with Byeoknajingi.
It was not that the bottom battle was lost. Whenever necessary, you can change your martial arts tendencies by drawing on the true energy of the Five Great Gods from Yeonga Shindan.
The scope of change is arbitrary. It may be difficult to handle because it is so complex, but if you embody it perfectly, you can change the overall characteristics of martial arts through instantaneous use of aerodynamic power.
If Sasinmu was an excellent weapon, Yeongasindan was a true forge that could change the characteristics of the weapon in an instant.
‘also.’
A proud smile appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
‘My prediction was correct.’
In the future, if you master all the remaining divine techniques of the Five Great Divine Techniques, the Yeonga Divine Dan will also be complete.
Then, it will be possible to operate the vision where all aspects, including speed, strength, endurance, destructive power, and stabilization, are at their peak. It was truly a godsend to cultivate the field with Byeoknajingyeol instead of studying Hongcheongi.
Yeonwi tapped Yeonhojeong on the shoulder.
“Congratulations. “Forming a shrine at that age is something that has never happened in the history of my family.”
Yeonwi treated him as if he had not heard of Yeonhojeong’s past.
The past is just the past. Yeonwi tried to see the present of her eldest son. This is because it is nonsense to disparage one’s current achievements just because one has achieved such enlightenment in the past.
Yeon Ho-jeong also knew how his father felt.
“thank you.”
“The cold is harsh. Meanwhile, the snow has stopped. Since the moonlight is good, I would like to help you embody Shindan’s energy by rubbing with Abby, but I have something to discuss with you, so I think I will postpone the rubbing.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“What happened?”
Yeonwi told me everything that happened today.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“I see. “I was going to tell my father separately.”
“It is done. “Whether I found out late or early, it was all I wanted to know in the end.”
“So what did the West Station priestess say?”
“That…”
Yeonwi licked her lips.
“They said they would give me an answer by tomorrow morning.”
“Hoo.”
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth rose.
Aside from the fact that the Western Goddess was a spy for the Shinhwa Church, her personality itself was very pretty and gentle.
Although he has his own pulpit, that pulpit is of little use in front of the head of the six-generation family. In particular, the intimidation of the hall was so great that it made even experts of the same level nervous. It would not have been easy to withstand it with the mental strength of a western station priestess.
“Did the head of the Tang family just watch that?”
“Yes.”
“…Eh?”
Yeonwi smiled.
“That person from the past has changed a lot from before. Of course, his unique pride and overbearing side are still there, but he doesn’t push things around as recklessly as he used to.”
Even in the past, I didn’t push it recklessly.
The intimidating appearance of the building is just one of countless masks used to facilitate external activities. In fact, he was a man with a track record of successfully achieving impossible tasks through sharp prayer and terrifying arrogance.

In other words, Danggwan is also a nine-tailed fox with nine tails. It’s just that he is a fox and is wearing the mask of a viper.
“And he asked me to tell you this.”
“Please speak.”
Yeonwi hesitated for a moment. No matter how much it was a rumor, the object of it was his son. I was a little embarrassed to say this without changing a word.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“it’s okay. “It is better to listen directly and without embellishment.”
“Then tell me.”
“yes.”
“They said they will take care of the fire here, so whether it’s to control it or make it bigger, you should do it to the best of your ability.”
“Ohh.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin.
“I expected it when I heard that she went to the West Station priestess without saying anything, but it looks like she has no intention of just sitting still.”
“I am a person who does not like to be influenced by someone. “Just accepting your offer and running as a candidate would have been a big concession for him.”
To be exact, it was not a concession, but a transaction.
However, the party official was able to negotiate with the West Station priestess without having to deal with her. If you think about it up to that point, as my father said, a concession was a concession.
‘That concession may have been the last move to confirm whether it would be okay to operate in the Murim Alliance.’
That’s the way the world is. Protecting one’s life and proving one’s worth came first before the greater good.
In that respect, Dang Gwan-do is definitely a character.
“I know what you mean. “If you do, I will go to the West Station priestess.”
Yeonwi asked in surprise.
“You mean this late at night?”
“Of course. “What if she says she won’t come forward as a sponsor tomorrow morning?”
“It’s midnight. Wouldn’t it be better to visit early in the morning?”
“no. “It’s better now.”
Yeonhojeong’s eyes sparkled with fire.
“You brought in a worm-eaten animal, but you shouldn’t be afraid to eat it without knowing its blessings. “I need to get some whipping.”
* * *
Slurp.
Ki Woo-hee’s face hardened.
“It’s Jamyeong No. 1.”
“…That’s right.”
She turned her back.
Before I knew it, a masked man in black was kneeling in a shadowy corner.
Ki Woo-hee’s eyes wavered.
“What happened?”
“What do you mean?”
“I know your stealth skills are great, but… this is the Murim Alliance.”
“I know.”
Jamyoung Ilho’s stealth skills are comparable to those of the best assassins in the Jungwon martial arts world.
Moreover, the Murim Alliance was too large to be considered a single federation. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a small country.
In particular, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the outer wall was as wide as several large villages. Not all of those living in the Murim Alliance are experts, so as long as you can get over the castle wall, infiltrating it won’t be that difficult.
But tolerance was different.
Naeseong was the area where more than seventy percent of the Murim Alliance’s power was concentrated.
It’s not the numbers, but the level of the soldiers. The inner city was the place where the top experts of the old and six major families were concentrated.
There is no one who is not an expert in every step, and Jamyoung Ilho has infiltrated such a dangerous place.
Jamyoung Ilho lowered his head.
“Except for this one time, unless there are special circumstances, it will be difficult to see you again for some time.”
He took out a small wooden case from his pocket.
“Take it.”
“…What is this?”
“We have stationed people from our school in the outer walls of the Murimmaeng, the stables, and the iron room.”
“…!”
“What is inside the wooden box is a colorless, odorless incense that can only be smelled by those who have received special training. “You just need to write down the important information about the Murim Alliance and deliver it to the outer castle officials once every forty-five days.”
“….”
“You can apply the incense to your residence when delivering it. Their trained sense of smell allows them to smell the scent even from 50 miles away. “I will come to you within half a day, so you can give the information to Sejak.”
Ki Woo-hee swallowed his saliva.
“This… are you asking me to do this?”
“It’s an order from above.”
“….”
“It doesn’t suit the saint’s personality. So please come back to our school quickly.”
“….”
“You can return to our school whenever you wish. “If you just return to the church, the saint will be able to gain the power to keep everyone under her gaze.”
“…Jamyoung Ilho.”
“It will be difficult to see you again for a while, so I will be rude once more.”
Ki Woo-hee sighed.
Jamyoung Ilho continued.
“It is true that there are many people who talk about the saint’s origins. But that is literally just hearsay. If the religious leader knew how much he cares for the saint, he would say that their eyes are scary…”
“Jamyoung Ilho.”
“…Yes, saint.”
“I’m sorry, but now I’ve made a choice.”
Jamyeongilho’s eyes wavered.
“Saint!”
Ki Woo-hee’s eyes were wet with sadness.
“It was you?”
“…What do you mean?”
“You are the one who killed your mother, right?”
“…!!”
“Your pity for me was real. But tell me. Are your reasons for trying to change my mind so pure? “Aren’t you trying to persuade me for your own sake so that you can get back to the seat of power you once sat on?”
“Saint Lady Seo!”
“The reason I haven’t responded to what you said so far is because I knew that there would be no benefit to me if I fought with you.”
Ki Woo-hee’s eyes, which were steeped in sadness, gradually became colder.
“But not anymore. “I made a choice too.”
“….”
“I don’t know what the end will be, but I’m going to fight in my own way.”
Jamyoung Ilho spoke in a somewhat subdued voice.
“…Saint.”
“….”
“Listen and don’t misunderstand….”
That was then.
‘…!!’
Jamyoung Ilho’s eyes widened as if they were torn.
Slurp.
My mouth didn’t open. For a moment, my body lost strength and I could not move a single finger of my own will.
‘What?!’
Why is this happening all of a sudden? Had I been poisoned?
It was then.
“Well, it was like that.”
Jamyeongilho felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
“All our fights are like that. It wasn’t a fight that started only when a bell rang. “It’s all a matter of preparation, and the one who strikes first gets the benefit, so it’s no different from the squabbles of back alley gangsters.”
The voice mixed with laughter was filled with tremendous murderous intent.
hook.
A black shadow obscured Jamyeongilho’s vision.
Cheer ring. Chiri ririn.
The sound of chains crashing created a terrifying fear.
Shadow Yeon Ho-jeong smiled maniacally.
“Maybe you should have rang the bell and come here. Isn’t this too brave for a moth?”
