Episode 960.
Enlightenment is (10)
doo doo doo.
The advance speed of the Allied Forces, riding on world-famous horses, was very fast.
Peng Wugang’s eyes sparkled.
“excuse me!”
Where he pointed, there were countless openings.
When you think of openness, it wasn’t the beggar’s outfit that comes to mind. They are dressed much neater than expected. It is no wonder that they are ordinary workers.
Hee hee hee!
The group slowly slowed down and quickly got off their horses.
One of the open degrees said.
“Because this is an urgent situation, I will skip greetings.”
“What about the imperial palace?”
“To prepare for any unexpected situation, all but the minimum number of people withdrew. “We have not received any information yet as we do not act unless it is of the highest level.”
That means it is not yet a serious situation.
Yan Wei looked at Yang Chen.
Yang Chen nodded.
“let’s go.”
“yes.”
Paaaaaa!
More than 1,000 troops, led by Yangcheon and Yanwi Pengmu River, unleashed the Divine Law all at once.
From here on, you must not spare your physical strength. If it were a long-term movement, it would be better to say it, but since it was close to the imperial palace, it was advantageous to shorten the distance as quickly as possible using the divine method of extreme speed.
When the huge walls of the imperial palace appeared far out of sight of the party.
bang!
Beyond the booming sound that echoed like an echo, the remains of the broken castle walls flew through the sky.
Yan Wei’s eyes sparkled with fire.
‘your majesty.’
There was a fierce aura in his hand as he held the imperial sword.
* * *
Because the interior of the imperial palace was so large, it took a very long time to actually walk to the North Castle.
However, the emperor was relaxed. I didn’t necessarily walk slowly, but I wasn’t in a hurry either.
Gok-gyeong, walking in step with him, spread intangible energy in all directions, forming a web-like deception. It was to prepare for an unexpected situation.
The emperor looked around with a leisurely expression.
The sight of him walking along a well-paved path without saying a word reminded me of the demeanor of an absolute person, even though he had not learned martial arts.
Was he born to be the power of all people?
Following the emperor’s footsteps, Gok-gyeong was able to realize once again that martial arts was not everything in this world.
How long did it take to walk like that?
I think I walked for an hour or even longer than that.
Finally, Bukseong was visible in the distance.
Clap! Clap!
The imperial palace’s elite warriors, wearing armor, lined up to the left and right of the emperor and knelt down.
“Please come, Your Majesty!”
The warlords’ loud voices cleared away the clouds in the sky and caused an earthquake in the cluttered land.
They were originally brave warriors, but when the emperor himself appeared, their morale went up.
It was not just a story about military officers and soldiers.
The face of Geum Heon-tae, who was standing on the castle wall and glaring at the enemy soldiers who had come fifty feet in front and encamped, gradually came to mind.
‘You really came.’
Hahaha!
The intense morale you feel behind your back.
The military spirit, like boiling hot water, spread throughout the entire Bukseong in an instant, heating the eyes of the garrison elites like lava.
There was also turbulence on Gok-gyeong’s face.
‘That’s amazing.’
Just showing up raised the morale of the warriors who were very nervous to the sky.
It was not because of his position or authority as emperor. The strong presence of the emperor himself as an absolute being was conveyed to all the warriors.
I couldn’t understand how someone who had never learned martial arts could possess such power. Even a master of magic would not be able to raise morale this high.
‘This is the Son of Heaven.’
A unique being under the sky.
It is the pinnacle of the human world, a bridge that connects its subjects to heaven, and a deity of heaven and earth that symbolizes the empire in itself.
Even for Gok-gyeong, who had seen the emperor’s extraordinary activities up close and for longer than anyone else, this was the first time he had seen a scene like this.
“There are a lot of stairs.”
The emperor did not say obvious things like thanking the soldiers for their hard work or saying he would trust you. Because I didn’t come here to congratulate you in the first place.
The emperor, who was looking at the stairs leading up to the castle wall, turned his gaze to look at the open castle gate.
The remains of the broken gate were not visible, as they had been removed in the meantime. Lee In-ja and hundreds of soldiers from the imperial palace guard were encamped and blocking the breached gate.
The emperor looked at the blackened wall and nodded.
“It’s just as you saw.”
He climbed the stairs of the castle wall with his back to him.
Surprisingly, my body must have been exhausted from the long hours of living, but even though I walked for a little less than half a day, I did not look tired at all.
Even as I climbed the stairs, I didn’t even gasp for breath. Considering the height of the castle walls, this was an incredible feat.

When the emperor finally climbed the castle wall, Geumheontae turned and knelt down.
“See you, Your Majesty.”
Because it was a wartime situation, etiquette was extremely simple.
“You’ve been through a lot.”
“Here comes the Emperor.”
“Get up. “Isn’t the enemy ahead?”
Geum Heon-tae got up and looked at the enemy again.
A thousand troops camped only about fifty miles away.
In fact, trying to devour the imperial palace with that many troops is almost an insult to the imperial palace.
But none of the warriors, not even the emperor, laughed at them.
There was someone who threw a huge fireball and destroyed the castle gate with one blow. With that level of capability, even a 1,000-strong force should have been tense, not ignored.
This is because the imperial army’s military tactics were created with man-to-man combat in mind, not to deal with fire-breathing monsters.
“Gong Escort.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Can you see it?”
Gok-gyeong’s eyes were focused on the huge golden palanquin behind the enemy lines.
The size of the kiln was considerable. It was spacious enough to accommodate about a dozen people comfortably, and it was completely covered in fluffy, soft silk, so just looking at it made me feel drowsy.
When I looked down a little, I saw thirty shirtless men carrying a palanquin. All of them were muscular and strong, but unusually, they had chains wrapped around both wrists and ankles.
On the left, right, and rear, about twenty warriors wearing bizarre helmets were seen holding huge flags. The flagpole was golden, and the unfurled flag had a black shape drawn on a red background.
Although it is small, it creates an overwhelming sense of intimidation.
And the peak of that intimidation came from a person sitting in a palanquin as if half-lying.
“yes. “I can see it.”
Gok-gyeong’s eyes wavered.
‘He’s the leader of the Shinhwa cult?!’
It was a surprisingly mysterious appearance.
The man sitting on the red silk was from the West. The golden hair, particularly white skin, and blue eyes were impressive.
Because their appearances were so different, it was difficult to guess their age, but from the looks of it, they looked like young people who were no older than 30 at most.
He was truly in his prime. However, Gok-gyeong could tell that the man was several times older than he appeared.
‘strong!’
It doesn’t give off any momentum. Although he had a lot of life as a human being, he did not show any particularly dangerous spirit or fire characteristic of Yeolyanggong.
However, its presence was truly terrifying. Like the emperor of another country, he was quietly but clearly giving off the feeling that he was alone in the vast world.
She was wearing clothes that were whiter than her skin, but they were loose and exposed all of her cleavage.
Their limbs were longer than those of the Central Plains, and their skeletons were also larger. However, it was perfectly trained, giving it a sleek and solid feel rather than dull.
In one hand, he was holding a transparent wine glass, and translucent blue flames fluttered in the wind.
Gok-gyeong’s fist gained strength.
‘Dangerous.’
I didn’t feel any force, but my instincts were sounding the alarm.
That man is dangerous.
It was not because of his personality or personality that could be inferred from his eyes, or because of the unexpectedness of his sudden march into the imperial palace.
Since the power it contained was not visible even to Gok-gyeong’s eyes, the danger of the Shinhwa cult could clearly be seen.
‘Rebuttal, return to truth.’
Yes.
The head of the Shinhwa cult was a person who had reached the stage of refuting and returning to truth.
It is not that the energy has been forced to appear ordinary, but the level achieved is so high and the density of the true energy is so deep that it cannot be read even at the level of Gokgyeong.
So, can it be said to be a rebuttal in the true sense of the word? I couldn’t even imagine how incredibly powerful his body was.
‘Fighting is possible.’
For a short time, Gok-gyeong coolly compared his own power to that of the young man on the palanquin.
The answer came quickly.
It was possible to fight, but I didn’t think I could win no matter what.
When I met Yang Cheon again due to his marriage to Princess Cheonghwa, I was very surprised to see him build a deeper level of knowledge.
The author was more than Yang Cheon.
Of the three emperors we met in the Murim Alliance, he seems to be stronger than the Geomje and the Doje. It is difficult to compare because the enlightenment achieved is different, but if he fought alone, it seemed that even the sword kings who were said to have achieved the essence of martial arts in the world would be pushed aside.
‘There would be no one who would be able to win in a one-on-one match unless he was on the same level.’
Gok-gyeong was so sure.
“How about it?”
Unlike Gok-gyeong, whose face suddenly hardened, the emperor’s expression was calm.
“What kind of enemy mass do you see?”
Gok-gyeong answered without hesitation.
“Currently, there is no one in the imperial palace who can deal with you one-on-one.”
“You too?”
“That’s right.”
Geum Heon-tae and all the military officers looked at Gok-gyeong in surprise.
The emperor chuckled.
“If you have such strong pride that you say something like that, you must be a powerful person on a completely different level.”
“The fight can be established. You can’t be sure of anything unless you actually see the author’s martial arts skills. But… we will probably lose.”
Regardless of pride, the emperor’s life depends on it. It is impossible not to become cold-hearted.
Geum Heon-tae spoke in a low voice.
“Do not worry. “The imperial palace has many means to defeat any enemy.”
“hmm.”
“I hope that Gog Guard will protect His Majesty until the end.”
“Of course it will.”
It was then.
“Are the conversations over?”
It was a voice that was languid yet had tremendous resonance.
Although young and innocent, it was low and intense. The words spoken calmly from that far away were loud enough to echo throughout the castle walls.
“The air in Jungwon is very clear. The reason the wait wasn’t boring was because I was breathing in the same air you guys were breathing. “For me, this itself is new and enjoyable.”
It was a strange voice.
The more I listen, the weaker my body becomes.
It wasn’t some kind of hex magic like seobunjutsu. That was his natural voice. Although it is not a sound martial arts technique that forces one to relax just by listening to it, it can also be considered a type of sound technique.
“But I didn’t come this far just to smell the air.”
The young man smiled.
It was the fatal smile of a beautiful young man from a foreign country.
He pointed at the emperor with a goblet that emitted translucent blue flames.
“Are you the owner of this dusty house?”
The eyes of Geum Heon-tae and all the military officers turned cold.
It was a voice so strange that it evoked a sense of discomfort, but no one was filled with fear.
The young man tilted his head.
“With your splendid attire and unrivaled dragon eyes, you must be the emperor. Why is there no answer?”
“He’s a strange guy.”
“…?”
“If I had wanted to have the honor of talking to Jim, I could have just sent him a letter. Why bother dragging this guy and that guy around and bothering people?”
