Myst, Might, Mayhem Chapter 391

< Episode 103: King Pabu (2) >

“Elder!”

“How could this happen…”

The cries of his subordinates rang out around him.

Voices of concern, voices of astonishment, and voices denying this situation.

At some point, I stopped hearing all of these things.

King Ho Taekang truly found this situation absurd.

‘······under.’

It’s even frustrating.

The person in front of me was not someone who could be called a strong enemy.

It was just a monster itself.

There was only one person who had ever surpassed him.

The head of the Cheonjihoe of that time.

‘Does this make sense?’

He is a member of the Six Heavens, said to be the pinnacle of the current martial arts world.

So it was understandable.

But wasn’t this guy a political faction hostage who was trapped in Sihyeolgok just a few months ago and had to walk between life and death?

I heard a rumor that he was so talented that he was the top student in the examination, but I thought he was only at the level of a late expert.

But how can he become such a monster in such a short period of time?

This was a growth rate that even felt scary.

Ho Tae-gang looked at Mo Gyeong-un’s face.

-Startle!

For a moment, a shiver ran down my spine.

I thought he wouldn’t be very excited because he overwhelmingly overpowered the person who was one of the Eight Saints, but I didn’t expect him to look at me with such emotionless eyes.

‘······different.’

There is a saying that you can tell a person by looking at their eyes.

The moment his eyes met with Mok Gyeong-un, Ho Tae-gang felt fear and fear from a person for the first time in his life.

It did not come from a moment of spirit or momentum.

It was literally like a creeping shiver.

This is a completely different entity by nature.

Mok Gyeong-un, who was looking at him expressionlessly, opened his mouth.

“You seem to have calmed down a bit now. Then we can talk.”

-widely!

As soon as those words were finished, I immediately let go of the hand that was clutching my neck.

I didn’t hold it that long, but my throat was being squeezed, so of course I couldn’t help but cough.

“Cluck cluck.”

Seeing Ho Taegang like this, his subordinates couldn’t help but hesitate while holding their weapons.

Since they were also unmanned, their judgment skills were not lacking.

The lord, who had reached the level of a sergeant to the point of receiving the title of Eight Saints, was not foolish enough to recklessly attack someone who was not even a proper opponent.

However, as a subordinate, I couldn’t leave my master alone, so this situation was just frustrating.

Then, after catching his breath, King Pabu Ho Tae-gang opened his mouth.

“······lost. No, the opponent itself is not suitable in the first place.”

It was so overwhelming that I didn’t even have any regrets.

It was a predetermined result.

but,

“ha.”

Hotae River sighed.

What he had originally planned had already been abandoned.

[Thorough cultivation. He told me to bring him to you. Of course, if you rebel during the process of bringing him in, you can either cut off his arm or make him a half-baby. He said he would leave that to King Pabu’s judgment.]

These were the words delivered by Mo Yak, a confidant of Grand Duke Na Yu-ryang.

Accordingly, after granting Na Yu-ryang what he wanted, Ho Tae-gang tried to gain Na Yu-ryang’s trust and implement a hard-and-fast strategy.

“Do you regret it?”

“It’s not because we lost.”

There was no way to explain it.

In order to reduce the suspicions of Grand Duke Na Yu-ryang, they left the guards who followed them alone, and perhaps this will reach his ears.

‘iced coffee. Jonghyuk. ‘Jonghyuk.’

The road to avenge my son is getting further and further away.

It was then.

“Ugh.”

“Off.”

A groan was heard from somewhere.

Then I heard the sound of people dragging on the floor.

Everyone’s eyes, including Ho Taekang, turned to that place.

‘!?’

There, I saw someone wearing a mask with a strange pattern holding the hair of those wearing masks in both hands and dragging them away.

The moment he saw the masked man, a strange look appeared in Ho Tae-gang’s eyes.

‘author······.’

Although he was conserving his energy, Ho Tae-gang could instinctively guess that the unfamiliar man in the mask had crossed the wall and reached the state of peace.

Was someone like that at the meeting?

As they were puzzled, the masked being, or rather Marahyeon, dragged the two people and placed them in front of them.

“I did as instructed. “My lord.”

‘Master?’

At those words, not only Hotae River, but even Hwan Ya-seon, the head of Amjong, widened his eyes.

Hwan Ya-seon also saw the existence of Mara-hyeon for the first time, and he also realized that he was stronger than himself due to inaction that could not be grasped by sense of energy.

However, I couldn’t help but be surprised to hear that such a person called Mok Gyeong-un his lord.

Where did you get such a master as a subordinate?

Then, King Ho Taekang sighed and opened his mouth.

“There is no turning back now.”

Even the guards sent by Prince Na Yu-ryang were captured, so the plan went astray.

Mok Kyung-un said, looking at him full of disappointment.

“What do you mean it can’t be changed?”

“So to speak, it’s complicated…”

“Is it because you failed to gain his favor by defeating me in front of Grand Duke Na Yuliang’s guards?”

“you?”

What on earth is this guy?

How did you know what your plan was?

Come to think of it, I had previously told myself not to be swayed by Grand Duke Na Yulyang’s tricks.

Do you know something?

While I was wondering, Mok Gyeong-un chuckled and then walked towards the two masked people who had been captured by the masked Mara-hyeon.

“Isn’t that actually a good thing?”

“what?”

What do you mean it’s going well?

Because of this, he became distant from Na Yu-ryang, who may be the real culprit who killed his son.

What on earth went well…

“ah!”

For a moment, Ho Taekang’s eyes wavered.

“I guess you understand.”

“······.”

I definitely understood.

Originally, they wanted to show that they had a clear relationship with them by using Mok Gyeong-un as a scapegoat.

But there was no need for that.

Although he was humiliated by his defeat, he showed his injuries and humiliation in front of the watchers.

If this reaches the ears of Prince Na Yu-ryang, he will rather keep him closer.

They will think that he will pretend even more to make up for the shame.

But,

“ha.”

He thought that Mo Kyung-un’s words were right and then sighed.

“Why are you doing that?”

“If it had been before we caught them, what you said would have happened. But when they caught them, how could they deceive them? Are you telling me to spread a rumor that you were injured and defeated?”

Of course, there was a way to do that.

However, the guards here heard their conversation, so they all had to be killed.

If you have no choice but to kill them all and then spread the word, will that really have a big effect?

Rather, it will only increase suspicion.

however,

“There were three guards. “One person was released as ordered by the lord, so there is no need to worry about that.”

Ho Tae-gang was puzzled by the words of Mara-hyeon of the mask.

There were clearly two signs following him.

“Three…?”

“He didn’t follow that side, he infiltrated this side first. And it was not revealed whether he had learned a special martial art, but…”

Mara-hyeon glanced at Mok-gyeong-un.

It was Mok Gyeong-un who told him the location of the third watcher and told him to let go just in the nick of time by threatening him.

At this, Hotae River let out a deep sigh.

In fact, there was no way that Grand Duke Na Yulyang would have only attached those who would attract attention.

However, to make the decision to track down such a person in a short period of time and deliberately let him go, this guy’s inaction and insight are both extraordinary.

‘It actually became more believable because two people died and only one was released.’

Ho Taekang stood up, holding his broken arm.

“I owe you.”

“Never mind.”

“You can’t do that. “I didn’t even ask for your understanding by informing you of the plan in advance, but they barged in arbitrarily and caused trouble, and I even owed you debt…”

“You seem to be mistaken about something. “I haven’t said anything about letting you go yet.”

“what?”

At Mok Gyeong-un’s words, caution arose in the eyes of King Ho Tae-gang.

If this monster decided to do something to me, there was no way to do it.

Then, Mok Gyeong-un suddenly turned his head and spoke to the guards who were down on their knees after being suppressed by Mara-hyeon.

“Do you want to live?”

‘!?’

The watchers’ eyes shook at his sudden words.

Judging by the trends they were talking about, they were giving up, thinking they would not be able to save their lives.

But when I was suddenly asked if I wanted to live, I couldn’t help but be shaken.

On the other hand,

“What do you mean by saving my life?”

They have already heard their conversation.

In the meantime, if he is released, he will definitely go to Grand Duke Na Yu-ryang and report all of this.

If that happens, Goyukjigye will truly fail.

‘no way?’

At that time, King Ho Taekang frowned and looked at Mok Gyeong-un.

I felt that it was too kind of him to not only let go of the person who had attacked him without permission, but also to provide him with help to ensure that Goyukjigye was safe.

But now I see that wasn’t the case.

‘Are you trying to control me by exploiting my weaknesses through this?’

Otherwise, there was no way he would say something like that to the guards in front of him.

Then, a watcher hurriedly pleaded with Mok Gyeong-un.

“Please save me! If so, I will keep quiet about everything I saw and heard here.”

Then the other watcher shouted, not to be outdone.

“Please, if you spare my life, I will keep my mouth shut.”

It was almost pitiful to see them so anxious to live together.

Mok Gyeong-un, who was looking at them blankly, smiled and said to them.

“There is no need for that. “If I get out of here alive, I want you to convey my words to Grand Duke Nayuliang.”

Everyone was puzzled by those words.

What does this mean? I want you to convey the message.

Are you asking me to send you a message?

“W-what are you saying…”

“It’s not a big deal, you just have to tell it literally.”

“······.”

“If you don’t want to die, come and bow your head yourself.”

‘!!!!!!!’

The expressions of everyone who had been puzzled by Mo Kyung-un’s words froze.

They were wondering what on earth he was trying to convey, but the moment they heard this, they couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

This was literally a provocation and a message declaring war.

With the death of Hoeju in critical condition, the most likely successor candidate at present was Na Yu-ryang.

There are many people who follow him even because of his orthodoxy.

No matter how much he became a disciple of Amjongju, if Mok Gyeong-un, who was held hostage by a mere political faction, said something like this, Na Yu-ryang and his followers would definitely be very angry.

“fury······.”

Hwan Ya-seon, the leader of the Amjong clan, who almost called Mok Gyeong-un Hwa-sin, quickly expressed his apology with a glance and called out his name due to the attention of others.

“Gyeongwoon. That might be too hasty a judgment. “If we were sufficiently prepared, if we could provoke the Archduke like that right now and give him a justification…”

“ah! “I forgot.”

“What is that?”

Mok Gyeong-un walked up to one of the guards, stroked his hair, and said,

“Please tell me this too.”

“What…what….”

“If I go to visit, this is what will happen.”

“What if it’s like this…”

-Wow!

“Oops!”

At that moment, Mo Kyung-un’s five fingers penetrated the watcher’s head.

In that state, Mok Gyeong-un grabbed the guard’s shoulder and lifted him up by grabbing his head.

– Quad deuk!

At the same time, the watcher’s head was ripped off his body.

Some people looked away at the sight, which was so horrifying and horrifying, while others frowned and didn’t know what to do.

What he said earlier was enough of a provocation, but if this were to be relayed as well, how would Archduke Na Yulyang react?

You may be so angry that you may decide to make a life-or-death decision by any means possible.

King Ho Tae-gang, who was looking at Mok-gyeong-un with a stern face, opened his mouth.

“······What on earth are you planning to do?”

“I’m giving you a choice.”

“option?”

“Yes, depending on your choice, we have prepared a path that will require an annoyingly long detour and a short distance that may be a bit rough but is very short.”

What is this guy talking about now?

A long detour and a short distance?

In addition to the fact that his son, Ho Jong-hyuk, was a member of the second prince, Jang Neung-ak, and to avenge his son, he was trying to take revenge on the arch-duke, Na Yu-ryang, through Goyuk Ji-gye.

However, no matter how strong his martial arts skills are, isn’t he just a disciple of the Lord of the Amsong at best?

Why on earth would you do something like this…

-widely!

It was then.

The sound of a presence was heard from somewhere.

At this, King Ho Taekang turned his head.

Someone appeared there.

That someone,

“Confucius Jang Neungak?”

It was Jang Neungak, Hoeju’s second disciple.

Seeing him suddenly appear, Ho Taekang hesitated for a moment and then put his hands together and tried to bow down.

however,

-Park!

At that time, the second Confucius, Jang Neung-ak, kneeled down on one knee toward Mo Gyeong-un, put his hands together, and said, I guess he was the first to show respect.

The next words that came out were even more shocking.

“master!”

‘!!!!!!!’

At that moment, everyone here was so shocked that they were speechless.

Everyone couldn’t believe their ears.

Did Jang Neung-ak, who is now Hui Zhou’s second disciple and a successor candidate like Na Yu-ryang, call Mo Kyung-un “master?”
