Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 1020.

Reclaiming History (4)

‘Moyong-gun.’

His nickname is Geomshin. His position is Murim Lord.

‘Dangwan.’

His nickname is Mandokje. His position is the vice leader of the Murim League.

In the life that Yeon Ho-jeong lived before his return, the two became the highest leaders of the political faction and faced an unprecedented enemy called the Three Churches, and after the great unification of Baekdo, they engaged in a fierce battle with the Three Churches.

Before that war, most of the leaders of the Seongcheon Thirteen Posts died or went missing.

Gwonsin and Geomseon could not know. There was a high probability that Gwon Shin died of natural causes, and Geom Seon was most likely murdered by someone.

Eumje Ha Eungyo must have been attacked by Saeumgyo even back then. Although the reason is unknown, Emperor Jonglibaek did not come to the forefront, and only rumors circulated that Geomje Namgungseung was also dead.

King Bi would have returned to Gwanghyeolgyo, Tuwang Yangcheon would have died by him, and King Am would have also spent his last years unable to reconcile with Tang Gwan. I did not know about the cases of Changwang and Makwon.

What were the major martial powers like?

In past history, Nam Gung-hyeon married Zhuge Yan. If Yeon Hao-jeong had not intervened in the history after the return, the Zhuge family would have lost more power due to the Nangong family’s trickery, and in the end, Zhuge Yan would have become a member of the Nangong family.

Panga was in charge of the northern defense and suffered a blow that was close to extinction. Among the old factions, the Joint faction and the Hwasan faction and the Jongnam faction also suffered fatal blows.

It is highly likely that the emperor either died while waging a secret war with the Xinhua Church without being able to spread his wings or took refuge until the end. If the emperor had died, Qu Jing would have died, and if the emperor had fled, Qu Jing would have been by his side.

In this way, the world faced a great crisis.

Many people died, many masters were born, and many masters were lost.

‘I really had no choice but to suffer as I didn’t know anything.’

The Shinhwa Church was in charge of the imperial palace, and Gwanghyeol and Saeum rushed into various fields to take away the power of Wulin.

As the power of the empire weakened, one of the three religions was enough for the imperial palace. However, as the power of the martial arts group became relatively stronger, Gwanghyeol and Saeum dreamed of complete victory by carrying out operations in their respective areas.

Among them, Gwanghyeol mainly disturbed the Baekdo Martial Arts, and as a bonus, claimed to be the orthodox successor to the Hyeolgyo religion and even extended its reach to the Demonic Martial Arts.

Saeum mainly tried to disrupt the Black Island, and in addition, he sent his agents to the White Island political faction to steal various information and take control of the area.

Shinhwa was mainly in charge of the imperial palace, but he dispatched military officers to keep an eye on the movements of the martial arts or to kill masters who were classified as dangerous.

In this way, the three schools fought in their own way, complementing each other’s shortcomings, and meticulously aimed for the midfield.

Their moves were unusual and unconventional, but at the same time they used reasonable means to win.

like that.

This continental land called Jungwon was brutally violated.

A martial arts world that is not united and cannot be united.

Likewise, the three religions, which are not united but cannot be completely separated, began to break down from their roots.

however.

‘I fell into such a world.’

A war that had no choice but to be fought during the time of the Emperor of Darkness.

But Yeon Ho-jeong returned to the past.

He went through a war that was difficult to say that he had a chance of winning even with empty words. In order not to follow in the footsteps of the past, he destroyed the Nine Zhou Myeongga, worked to normalize the Murim Alliance, and went around capturing various evildoers and crushing the leaders of the three religions who tried to take over the region. .

The world has changed.

History has also changed.

According to the original history, it was normal for the three religions not to reveal themselves until now. Jungwon Murim looked fine on the outside, but it was rotten on the inside.

Only now has the Central Plains gained the right to fight on equal footing with their hometown, the Three Schools. Because history has changed.

But but but.

“…There is such a thing as an irreversible flow of fate.”

“What do you mean?”

Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.

Hong Ik-cheon asked with a smile.

“Are you leaving?”

“I have no pity on you.”

“I didn’t even want it.”

“I don’t sympathize because I don’t know what sympathies are. “If I had known that you were sorrow, if I had known that you were mercy, I would have pitied you with all my heart.”

“…!”

“I used to run forward like a fool, but now I know how to look back at people. Regardless of the actions you committed, I can sympathize with you because I can guess your past. “I think he is someone who can be pitied.”

“….”

“But I will not pity your past. “Because even if I did, I couldn’t convey my feelings.”

Hong Ik-cheon’s face hardened.

He may not even know that his face has hardened.

“How can we care if we cannot have emotional interactions with each other? “Even if you have an attachment to a mere object, it needs to have a history with you to give you your heart.”

“….”

“Our relationship ends here.”

These were words he was saying to Hong Ik-cheon, and at the same time, he was saying them to himself.

Yeon Ho-jeong turned around. With those words, he was truly able to break the chain of fate.

It was then.

“Did you say you were guessing about my past?”

Yeon Ho-jeong stopped walking and looked back at Hong Ik-cheon.

Hong Ik-cheon asked.

“What about my past you guess?”

“It was nothing.”

“…?!”

“You were nothing to everyone around you. “It was just a sword that was used when necessary.”

“….”

“What’s more, since you haven’t even used that sword a few times, the title Death King is meaningless.”

Now Yeonhojeong knew.

Hong Ik-cheon, or rather Ham Mu-heon, was a person with deep loneliness, although he did not realize it himself.

Not many people could understand that loneliness. The reason Yeon Ho-jeong and the other five great gods were able to be with him was not because they were special, but because they were also nobody.

Even then, we couldn’t be together until the end. If Hongikcheon remains the same as it is today, there is nothing to look forward to.

Will you try to understand with all your heart?

It’s nonsense.

If there is such a thing as an unchanging relationship, then there is also an irreversible catastrophe.

Yeon Ho-jeong felt sorry for Hong Ik-cheon of this era and had no intention of returning his feelings.

“…Just like you said.”

Hong Ik-cheon’s voice seemed subdued for some reason.

“I think that if that fictional-like history were real, I would have enjoyed living in it.”

“Even if I have a chance to change, I won’t change because of you alone.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“To me, you are not worth trading for this world.”

With those words, Yeon Ho-jeong and Zhuge Zhen left the prison.

Hong Ik-cheon, who was left alone, was frozen with his head down for a long time.

No one will know what he is thinking or what he is feeling.

* * *

Zhuge Zhenyan, who came out of prison, opened his mouth.

“It was amazing.”

“what.”

“That fictitious story you were talking about.”

“….”

“It felt quite real, as if you had actually experienced it.”

“Ever since I was young, I’ve heard a lot that you have a great imagination.”

It was like a joke, but Zhuge Yan couldn’t help but laugh.

“Can I ask you something?”

“You can ask two questions.”

“Why do you care so much about that person?”

Yeon Ho-jeong stopped walking.

While talking with Hong Ik-cheon, I did not bother to hide how much I cared for him. If you were as perceptive as Jegal Zhan, you would of course have noticed.

“It seemed like they were treating me not as an enemy, but as if I had known them for a long time.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.

“It’s a waste. “That ability.”

“Isn’t it a waste? I heard it gave me goosebumps. “It’s amazing to think that you can control a person’s mind even if it’s not a hex or magic attack.”

“Even a seemingly insignificant ability can blossom into a unique talent in the world if you understand its essence and practice it. “As long as people have the means to communicate, people like that will continue to appear.”

“…I see.”

Zhuge Zhen, who was nodding his head, soon looked at Yeon Ho Jeong with nervous eyes.

“But is that true?”

“….”

“Are you sure you are planning to officially break off the black-white alliance?”

“You can’t do that.”

“yes?”

Zhuge Zhen’s face became brighter.

Yeon Ho-jeong continued.

“I can’t officially cut it off. Breaking up an alliance is not that easy. “Black and White, who have hated each other for hundreds of years, have formed a historic alliance in the face of great adversity. Isn’t this a problem that cannot be unilaterally broken?”

Zhuge Zhen’s face, which had brightened, hardened again.

“then?”

“Hong Ik-cheon’s operation was a success.”

“…?!”

“This guy is someone who gets pleasure from observing and manipulating people and leading them to the results he wants. But that is just a personal inclination, and the driving force that moves that guy is an order from above.”

“…!!”

“The Four Churches, or the Three Churches, would not have been able to ignore the alliance between black and white. In reality, water and oil do not mix well, but they cannot clearly see what is going on here. Just look at and think about the revealed results. That’s why we have no choice but to do our best to separate black and white as quickly as possible.”

“If that’s what they want, they need to unite even more.”

“No, they already won the fight. “To be precise, there was no need to win.”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the sky.

“The anti-black faction that was suppressed was too extreme, but there are still many people like him in the Murim Alliance. “There is the idea of joining together for war, but not many people are willing to risk their lives for one war.”

“no. If you look for it, the truth is…!”

“Even if there are more people than we think, we cannot eradicate the hatred against black people from the root.”

“….”

“If I told you when a war would break out, I could at least make up my mind. However, as the date of the war cannot be confirmed, dissatisfaction with the Black Island will creep in again as time passes.”

Zhuge Yan said in a quiet voice.

“If you put it that way, it’s the same with the Black Island. How great is the hatred and hatred towards Baekdo? However, the Black Island is as extreme as the Murim Alliance…”

“It is not exactly the Black Island, but the Mukryongbu. The Mukryongbu is ruled under the control of an outstanding figure named Tuwang. “Since the decision has been made by a leader with absolute power, there will be no immediate complaints if there is a generational change.”

Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes.

“And that is the essence of blackness. Even if we had a fight yesterday, we can face each other with a smile today. “If there is a common goal.”

“….”

“That’s why we are called beasts and told that we have no spine. “That is true, but it is also the driving force behind the Black Island’s ability to endure until now.”

“…What on earth are you going to do?”

Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes again and smiled.

It wasn’t a bitter smile, but it looked sad, somehow light-hearted, but also frustrating.

“You can control your heart when you are apart, but when you face each other, a thousand dollars explode inside you. It is a black and white relationship. “I saw it too easily.”

“….”

“I have to leave the Murim Alliance. “Before the war ends.”
