At the same time, Jin Tae-gyeong was not the only one watching the public beheading from the pavilion overlooking the streets of Seonyeong.
Suddenly!
Dozens of supplies tumble down along the flashing blade.
As fountains of blood gush out and bodies with their heads lost tilt helplessly, the crowds covering the streets in black let out cheers.
– Wow!
– Long live your Majesty the Emperor!
– Sangsanhu punished the inspectors!
– These bastards! Go to hell!
Some people raised their hands in joy, while others who were still angry continued to curse and jeer.
However, the face of a young man looking down at them was complex and subtle.
“… … hmm.”
At that moment, when only a soft sob escaped his lips, someone’s voice suddenly penetrated the young man’s ears.
“Oh, I was here.”
The young man turned his head in surprise, confirmed the identity of the uninvited guest, and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Surprise, when did you come?”
“As for when to come, we all came together a day before. “Are you an idiot?”
“Well, uncle. What I said just now was not to ask you when you came to Seonyeong… … .”
“then?”
The young man’s appetite was whetted by the sight of a middle-aged man with a shabby appearance who was asking questions with sincere puzzlement in his eyes.
“no. Mr. Daein is right. “I came a day ago.”
“As expected, you are an idiot. “Gangpung, you seem too immature for your age.”
“It’s Cheongpung.”
“That is exactly what I said. gale.”
The young man, or rather Cheongpung, was speechless for a moment and scratched his chin.
The middle-aged man in front of me, whom I only got to know a few days ago, was someone who was sometimes difficult to understand, even for someone with a wide mental world that went far beyond the limits of an ordinary person.
Of course, for most other people, it’s not sometimes, it’s always.
“… … “This is my first time seeing someone like you in my life.”
“The world is vast. “Expand her horizons like her real wife.”
“hmm. “This is something I’ve been meaning to tell you since I first met her, but she knows that my wife is a term women use to call themselves.”
“so?”
“yes?”
“It is very wrong to judge people only by their appearance. What matters is the essence. “Only after that do you realize the truth hidden within.”
Cheongpung, who had been staring blankly at the figure of the great man who seemed at first glance to be wise, finally opened his mouth.
“What can I say just now, you seemed a bit fresh.”
“is it?”
“yes. But at the same time, it seems a little lacking.”
“Well, aren’t you talking too harshly? “Even if it’s just her, if someone else hears something like that, it could hurt her feelings.”
“oh. sorry.”
“There is no need to apologize. “Because being stupid isn’t a crime.”
“… … yes.”
At a time when Cheongpung, who answered incoherently, was feeling uneasy and wondering if this was true, Daein, who heard the shouts outside getting even louder, came over and looked out the window.
“That’s cruel.”
Cheongpung’s face hardened as he turned his gaze to follow Daein.
The sight of some crowds trampling on beheaded corpses was clearly visible.
“… … I see. “I just saw it for no reason.”
“The back looked really dark a little while ago. Was that because of that?”
“I never got used to killing. “It would have been much better if I had been a strong person like my benefactor.”
Cheongpung, who was talking to himself, suddenly remembered one person.
Jin Tae-kyung, who is always unstoppable and unwavering in the face of any hardships and waves of adversity.
People in the world praise him and himself, calling him the second dragon, but to Cheongpung, Jin Tae-gyeong was nothing but an object of envy.
And it was not a criterion of strength, weakness, or martial talent, but envy of the way one lived life itself.
Maybe that was why.
The next moment, I heard a word from a great person, and for a moment I was speechless.
“You know what? “A person who is accustomed to killing is called a murderer in this world.”
“… … !”
“Those who are strong just don’t show it. It’s not that I’m used to it, it’s more like I’m exhausted and exhausted. “So did someone her mother knew.”
“Do you know someone like that?”
“I told you. “I want you to expand your horizons like the original woman.”
The great man opened his mouth and let out a yawn before continuing.
“However, he chose and accepted the reality he faced, his fate. “Maybe he feels the same way as the person you’re trying to be like?”
“… … Mr. Daein, was this kind of person?”
“What kind of person does that mean?”
“No, no.”
Cheongpung, who blinked as the words flowed out like water, soon sighed.
“What you said is right. “I was so stupid that I made a mistake without thinking.”
“I’ll say it again, it’s not a crime to be stupid. “The authors who are being humiliated even after death are not real sinners.”
“You’re not a sinner?”
“Oh, of course it’s true that they are sinners. I have committed a mortal sin, so I deserve to die. But isn’t the real sinner the one who created this chaos?”

The great man stretched out his hand and pointed somewhere.
Even though the sun is high in the sky, the endless sky is dark and gloomy.
“I don’t know if there’s a superior or something up there, but I’ll bet my balls that he’s not that great of a guy.”
Cheongpung, who had been listening to Daein’s words with a serious expression, tilted his head.
“Uh, that’s only for guys like me… … .”
“I heard you have a real wife too.”
“No, you mean I have that too?”
“Then it becomes clear.”
The great man continued speaking in a stern voice.
“It is clear that you are a woman like the original woman.”
If it had been Cheongpung of the past, you might have thought it was really like that. However, the current Cheongpung, which had gained some common sense over the past two years, was different.
“My second grandfather was like that. “I am a man.”
“okay? “Then did the second grandfather also have it?”
“yes. I caught a glimpse of it when Sophie was lying down. “I almost died because I got caught right away.”
“That’s right.”
Daein, who was thinking with a serious look on his face, gasped and let out a sigh.
“Now I understand.”
“What?”
“He is not my grandfather. “From now on, call her her second grandmother.”
“… … be careful. “If it gets into his ears, you might actually die.”
“The second grandmother cannot kill the main woman. Her deed was so cruel that the vicious Demon Du finally knelt down in front of her true wife. In the end, she entered the belly of Baekdu Gangsan.”
“Are you talking about Taesan Small Cooperative?”
“Well, that’s it. “How many times do I say that the important thing is the essence?”
Cheongpung, who felt dizzy for some reason, rubbed his temples.
“When I talk to Mr. Daein, I feel confused for some reason. “This is my first experience like this.”
“I understand. “Because you have low intelligence.”
“I don’t know how many times I’ve been told that I’m stupid. “Is this why you came to see me?”
“Of course not. “Does she look so leisurely?”
Cheongpung answered with more confidence than ever.
“yes.”
“Not at all. The reason I came to you… … .”
Daein, who had been speaking confidently, lost his voice for a moment.
“The reason is that… … .”
“Mister Daein.”
“Why do you keep calling me? “I’m trying to tell you now.”
“It was my first time calling, and please be honest. “You don’t remember what you came for, do you?”
“That makes no sense!”
The angry man added hesitantly.
“Actually, it’s a bit vague. “Well, it’s probably not that important, so let’s move on.”
“Are you sure it’s not important?”
“I’m sure. I guess someone told me to bring you… … “If it was something incredibly important, there’s no way she wouldn’t have remembered it.”
At that moment when Daein answered firmly, as if he would not allow any further refutation, there was a figure approaching quickly from a distance.
“Cheongpung Sohyeop! Where are you in now! AC, Cheongpung Sohyeop!”
Familiar voices and faces.
Cheongpung, seeing Hyuk Moo-jin panting here and there, raised his hand.
“Uh, Warrior Hyuk!”
“driving me crazy. Why are you still here? “Where did that person go again?”
“yes? Mr. Daein is here with me… … .”
Cheongpung blinked his eyes reflexively.
The great man who had been standing right next to him just a moment ago had suddenly hid behind him, shrinking close to him.
“… … mister?”
“Shh. Don’t pretend to know. “Are you really of low intelligence?”
There was no time for Cheongpung to say anything.
Before I could even feel my astonishment at the sight of the great man performing a truly simple yet perfect silver plastic surgery, a word from Hyuk Moo-jin, who approached me out of breath, pierced my mind like a thunderbolt.
“Now is not the time to be here like this! “Western Province’s Podalap Palace joined hands with Amcheon!”
“… … !”
The two eyes of Cheongpung swell in an instant.
But that wasn’t the end of Hyuk Mujin’s words.
No, rather, it was a shock beyond comparison.
“Not only that! Paryun, the King of the Sea, and Taegunak, the King of Nokrimtu… … !”
The joining of Chief Murim, whom the Murim Alliance had been concerned about since the conflict with Amcheon began in earnest.
In addition, the moment the nicknames and names of the two giants who divided the Black Island martial forest were spoken, Cheongpung realized what was to be said.
‘betrayal.’
And that ominous guess soon became confirmation.
As always.
* * *
“The smell of manure could be felt from a hundred miles away. “It was you, after all.”
The first to break the silence was an old man with an overwhelming size.
The glow emanating from his beady eyes was more intense than the anticipation contained in the scimitar held in his hand, and the force radiating from his entire body was as gigantic as a wave.
As much as the title of King of the Sea.
“It’s better than the fishy smell. “I’ve been eating raw all my life, so roundworms must be crawling in my stomach by now. How about giving up sailing and coming under Nobu?”
However, another old man standing across from him, about a hundred feet away, was also formidable.
A very small physique and a frame as thin as a tree branch.
Even though he was an old man who seemed to have trouble even twisting a chicken head, he had every right to sneer at Paryun.
If Palun, the sea king, was the king of the Yangtze River, he was the ruler of the mountain range.
Because it was Taegunak, the King of Nokrimtu, who was the one who created the current Nokrimmaeng (綠林盟).
“Nobu is a bastard. There’s nothing I can’t say about blood. “Did you eat the rotten water by mistake?”
“It’s funny to talk about blood just because there is a one-year age difference at best. Just considering his experience in martial arts, Nobu must be your senior, right?”
“So, since no one seemed to call you the Ten Kings, did you call yourself a king?”
Taegunak’s eyes sank calmly at the sight of Palyun responding as if he had been waiting.
“You always have a problem with your tongue.”
“I don’t know who’s talking.”
The two old men stared at each other in silence. Before I knew it, a tangible energy was blooming and flowing over my shoulders.
As if he were going to risk his life right now.
But the next moment.
Wow.
The two giants of the dark island calmed down at once and quietly ate their food.
They are the ones who will do anything to get what they want. We didn’t know when this long period of pet hunting would end, but at least we both knew that it wasn’t now.
“What are your plans?”
“It’s going smoothly. “As delivered.”
Taegunak looked at the densely lined forest behind him with sunken eyes and added to Paryun.
“Don’t forget. “Two days, two days later.”
Deeply and quietly.
“Conquer the Yangtze River. “That is the beginning.”
