Episode 653
Noble Enlightenment (3)
The next morning.
“Good.”
After checking the condition of the horse, Kang Ryang looked at Hwang Seok-tae.
“How are you feeling? “I drank that much yesterday.”
Hwang Seok-tae said as he got on his horse.
“I don’t have a hangover.”
“It’s a shame I don’t have a hangover. “I must have sent it flying with my own strength.”
Hwang Seok-tae ignored Kang Ryang.
Paeyul frowned and said.
“Can someone who isn’t even fully healed drink that much? “If work gets disrupted, things will go wrong.”
“Senior brought it to this point.”
“Who told you to laugh and talk without knowing that demonic energy was in your body?”
“Tsk.”
Even though he said that, Kangryang laughed inwardly. Looking at Paeyul’s reaction, it seemed like he had overcome the regret of cutting himself.
“Anyway, what about you, brother? Brother, I have nothing to say. “My brother isn’t in the room either.”
“I went first. They said they would wait at the entrance to the canyon about 20 miles ahead. “He said to follow the road for about ten miles and then turn left toward the bamboo forest.”
“Huh?! why?”
“I don’t know, man. “Who knows what’s inside that fox?”
Kang Ryang whetted his appetite.
Cheeeeeek!
Cloudy smoke rose from Kang Ryang’s body. All the alcohol in the body was blown away.
Hwang Seok-tae chuckled.
Kang-ryang scratched his head.
“I drank a little too much. “I don’t want it to interfere with the mission.”
“Who said anything?”
“Let’s officially join later.”
“You should drink to enjoy it.”
With those words, Hwang Seok-tae left first.
Paeyul chuckled.
“Don’t live like those ugly idiots who have nothing to show off and try to show off their pride by drinking, junior.”
Kang Ryang’s face was distorted.
“When did I…!”
Hee hee hee!
Pae-yul let out a loud cry and followed Hwang Seok-tae.
Gangryang grumbled.
“You always keep it to yourself.”
Whiiiiing!
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes looking down at the canyon were very serious.
‘also.’
After finishing my conversation with Hwageomja last night, I stopped by this place first.
According to Cheoljanggae’s information, it could be dangerous from just this point.
When I came and saw it, it was indeed so.
‘This canyon is connected to the second mountain over there. ‘It seems like there’s a note there.’
Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes.
Tsutsutsutsu.
The Gwangmyeong Shrine repeatedly blinked and blinked, expanding its energy.
Tweet!
My hearing became more sensitive, and all kinds of sounds penetrated my ears.
The sound of the wind was the strongest, but the sound of birds chirping beyond it was also very powerful.
Beep!
The sound of the hawk’s cries echoing from an invisible place was impressive.
Slurp. Slurp.
I could also hear the footsteps of animals. A sound that feels dull yet agile. It looked like a wild boar.
Surprisingly, there seemed to be no huge beasts like tigers. I didn’t feel that unique odor of anger or murder.
However, footsteps that appeared to be wolves were heard. There was no crying, but I could sense it with my intuition.
and.
‘….’
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes.
‘Speculation (鬪氣).’
An extremely secret speculation was flowing from the second mountain connected to the canyon in the distance.
I was able to notice because it wasn’t something I was trying to hide. No matter how open the martial arts world was, it was impossible to feel the fighting spirit of a warrior who deliberately hid his presence.
‘It’s not a fight to start a fight. It’s a habitual atmosphere. ‘It’s always maintained in perfect condition.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sank.
‘I brought the elite. If it were natural, it would be natural.’
It is the job of monitoring the world’s yin rituals. Of course, I don’t know if it’s surveillance or actually a colleague.
Whatever it is, there is only one answer.

‘It is impossible to approach secretly.’
Even Yeon Ho-jeong, who was good at outwitting his opponents with all kinds of incredible strategies and tactics, felt the difficulty of this mission with his whole body.
The most difficult thing was, of course, the circumstances of the Yin Emperor.
Combining what I heard from information or rumors, Emperor Yin was never a person worthy of joining the Three Churches. No, he did not even attempt to form ties with the clans of the central plains, let alone the three schools.
Nevertheless, the remnants of Saeumgyo are concentrated around Eumje. And the Emperor did not move a single step from there.
‘It has its own circumstances. The problem is that one must come into contact with the Yin Emperor without the Four Eumsyo’s knowledge.’
It’s difficult from the beginning. It’s okay if you can communicate, but you may be attacked before you even open your mouth. This is because I don’t know what situation the Emperor is in.
However, it is also dangerous to try to break through the remnants of the Saeum Church and meet the Emperor Eum.
If Yin Emperor intervenes in an already busy battle, there is a close to ten percent chance that his allies will not be able to survive, even if he himself does not know it.
‘That’s a pain in the ass.’
Sometimes it’s best to keep complex things simple.
Even this job is difficult. Simply attack head on and find out everything?
It would be difficult to guarantee success even if the martial arts from the time of the Emperor of Darkness were retained, rather than now.
At least that was Yeonhojeong’s premonition.
‘But that doesn’t mean you can’t take risks. You should take utmost care of safety, but there may come a time when you have to risk your life if necessary.’
Thick veins appeared on the back of the hand that was holding the Tongcheonbu.
‘Should we also get help from openness?’
He recalled his conversation with Iron Janggae last night.
‘They say he stops by the village regularly. A woman who is presumed to be Yin Emperor’s disciple.’
‘Town.’
‘It’s because of the supply and demand of daily necessities. So it’s strange. If Emperor Yin had joined hands with the Three Schools, there would be no need to go down to the village. He said he always stops by once a day.’
‘It could be because it’s frustrating. ‘How much of a pain it must be to stay in one place.’
‘That is a possible analysis assuming that Emperor Yin and the Three Schools joined hands.’
‘No analysis is of any use unless it reveals nothing. That’s why so many analyzes are meaningful.’
‘You’re having a hard time saying this. But you’re right. ‘At the moment, I don’t know what state the Yin Emperor is in.’
‘….’
‘I wonder if we can help.’
‘What kind of help?’
‘Dispersion of gaze. There are no high-level troops in Shaanxi right now, so an armed conflict is unlikely. However, any other help is possible.’
‘I’ll think about it.’
‘Are you being stubborn?’
‘It’s not because I’m stubborn, it’s because I don’t know how to handle it. ‘What if the Emperor doesn’t like opening up?’
‘That can’t be possible.’
‘Are you sure?’
‘….’
‘If necessary, I will contact you separately tomorrow. Until then, let’s think about it.’
‘Do whatever you want.’
After that conversation, Iron Janggae disappeared just like that.
It seems that his feelings toward Yeon Ho-jeong were not good. Not only did he point an ax at the neck of Hwageomja, Kangho’s great senior, but he also killed himself, an open elder, to the point of killing him. It may be difficult to have good feelings.
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
Cheoljanggae may have hated himself, but Yeonhojeong didn’t mind his strong personality. At least the front and back weren’t different people.
‘Front and back…’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
When I thought of the conversation with Cheoljanggae, the conversation with Hwageomja naturally also came to mind.
‘They’re going to hit the volcano. And the current volcano… I don’t know, but it won’t be able to withstand their offensive.’
‘Why is that so? There are a lot of coriander in Huashan.’
‘It’s prestigious. I admit it. Moreover, I don’t know about the Taoist masters of my generation, but there are probably quite a few of them who are alive and well and practicing swordsmanship.’
‘It hasn’t been revealed to the world, but isn’t there a possibility that there is a master among them who created a martial arts drama?’
‘Possibilities are literally just possibilities. Moreover, it will be difficult for the martial arts trained in Simsan Yugok to demonstrate its power on the battlefield, no matter how martial arts are.’
‘Still, it’s a no-go. If you look carefully…’
‘Don’t you know how wide the volcano is?’
‘….’
‘If the volcano becomes dangerous, it will reveal itself. But until then, even if you are a master, you cannot call the men in training. ‘I don’t even know where it is.’
‘It’s really frustrating.’
‘It may seem like that to you, but from the perspective of a Taoist practitioner, it is a very natural life.’
‘We can’t just open our eyes and face them. We have to deal with them before they reach the volcano.’
‘That’s the best. ‘Is it possible?’
‘How should I know that? I just have to do my best.’
Hwageomja asked if there was anything he could help with, but Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
If what he said was true, they were preparing for battle here. And the sharply forged blade will point straight toward the volcano.
Couldn’t the volcano that noticed it first attack them in reverse?
‘Not bad.’
It’s not a bad method.
Since I came as a problem solver, I thought there was no need for a large number of troops.
But in this situation, it’s a different story. If there are troops available, they should be used actively.
The problem was the scale of damage that would result.
‘It would be best to prevent the enemy’s return without anyone dying. But the best is not the best, and the best method and the best method cannot always be applied.’
It’s about risking the enemy’s life. It is absurd not to risk my life.
‘for now.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
‘If you can’t approach Eumje secretly, there is one way. It is urgent to separate the Eumje and the Saeumgyo b*stards.’
How is that possible?
‘I separate it… I separate it…’
Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes.
Actually, I did think of one method. But the question is whether that method can be used.
“Damn it. “Why do I always come up with this method?”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was grumbling, suddenly raised his eyes. I heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar behind me.
After Lee Gak.
“It was here.”
“Are you here?”
Purr!
The horses toured and kicked their feet a few times and then stood there.
Gangryang grumbled.
“What should I do if you leave first without saying anything?”
“I told my senior.”
“You can do it for everyone, right?”
“Does that matter now?”
“Tsk.”
It’s like this every day.
Yeon Ho-jeong, ignoring Kang Ryang’s mouth, asked Hwang Seok-tae.
“I heard your horseback riding skills are excellent.”
It’s not just excellent. If you look at his horse handling skills alone, he would be one of the best in the Central Plains.
Hwang Seok-tae tilted his head.
“Why is that?”
“Of course he would be good at horseback combat.”
“I guess so.”
“Um… okay.”
Even horses of similar skill can have different speeds depending on the owner handling them. It was natural.
“It’s like training a mutt, but please understand. “You need to go somewhere.”
“where?”
“It’s called Byeokwolru, and it’s located about 10 miles away from here.”
“Byukwollu?”
“Base running under Jongnam. According to what Elder Open said, the Spectral God Sword party is currently heading there.”
Paeyul’s eyes widened.
“You said you won’t bring Jong-nam in?”
Who knew volcanoes were dangerous?
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“I can’t help it. “I just can’t find the answer.”
Paeyul sighed. Even in his mind, it was a task that was too daunting.
Yeon Ho-jeong handed me a red letter from her arms.
“It’s a document with the seal of an elder. “I will believe you.”
Hwang Seok-tae nodded.
“I’ll be back soon.”
“When we come back… there’s a good chance there’ll be a fight going on.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
Yeon Ho-jeong said in a strong voice.
“Please risk your life. “I don’t know how strong the masters are over there.”
Hwang Seok-tae chuckled silently and immediately turned his head.
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed heavily, leaving behind Hwang Seok-tae who was quickly moving away.
“Let’s move slowly.”
Paeyul asked.
“What? Is it a head-to-head fight?”
“Is that possible?”
“So what are you going to do then?”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed again.
“I should become a criminal.”
“what?”
“Kidnapping of a disciple.”
“…?!”
“If you don’t know how to meet a tiger separately, you have to catch a tiger cub and lure it out.”
Paeyul and Kang Ryang’s faces turned pale.
