Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 894

Hometown of the Demon (7)

Cheolkeng.

The old man opened his eyes to the heavy and cold sound.

Even when I opened my eyes, most of what I saw was darkness. Against the background of the darkness, torn bottoms and rather bony knees were visible.

Good!

The sound of the iron door opening was so bizarre that it sent shivers down my spine.

“…Master.”

The old man’s eyes became clouded.

I wanted to raise my head, but I couldn’t because I had no strength.

Even in the dark, the messy hair looked white even though it was dirty.

This is ridiculous.

Just before achieving the true reverse heaven, he realized that the true reverse heaven was a place that should not be reached, so he turned his attention to the peak of martial arts rather than the peak of magic.

Although he may have prioritized radish over magic, it was clear that the magic skill he practiced was one that would be difficult to find a rival in the world. Even though he was close to eighty years old, his hair did not turn gray, but rather became shinier with each passing day.

But what is this like now?

His hair turned white, and his limbs, which boasted perfectly compressed muscles, became as thin as insect legs.

Judging by the skin covering his skinny knees, his once taut face must have been covered in wrinkles.

I thought I would experience aging only right before I died, but I thought this day would come.

“You are amazing.”

His hair, skin, muscles, and vision were not the same as before, but his brain was running calmly.

However, the speed of accidents has become noticeably slower than before.

“Even though the demonic energy was completely blocked, the majesty still remains…! After all, there was no other reason for those cheeky powerhouses to be in awe of him and call him the devil.”

The old man opened his mouth.

“…is that you?”

The voice was muddy.

It was weak and dull. However, even though everything else was aging, traces of the past were still visible in the voice.

Even at this moment, the old man felt fortunate.

I felt like if someone came to save me by chance, this voice alone would be enough to prove that I was the owner of Shinmarim.

Of course, only heaven knows whether you can hold out until then.

“It is indeed different. “I wonder if you can survive for several days by drinking only water.”

“….”

“How come you don’t eat? “Suksu made it with his own consideration and sincerity.”

The old man smiled faintly.

I had difficulty raising my head due to lack of strength in my neck, but strangely enough, I still had the strength to speak.

“I couldn’t eat because I thought about you.”

“They say people show their true colors in extreme situations, and I see all of this in Master.”

“It looked fragrant and delicious. “It was truly appetizing.”

The old man’s eyes became cold.

Although he couldn’t open it properly and couldn’t see the other person, his eyes still changed.

“But it was full of disgusting poison, and it was clear that it would harm my body the moment I bit into it.”

“….”

“The moment I first saw you, I changed the rules and laws of this village. “I don’t know if another person as talented as you will emerge in the future, but wouldn’t it be too easy to hand down the position of leader from generation to generation when there is such a great genius?”

“….”

“It was my mistake.”

“….”

“I didn’t know that you, despite your superficial appearance, had a rotten poison sac in your chest. “If I had known that, even if your talent was the best of all time, would I have made you my disciple?”

“But you took me as your disciple.”

“That’s why I’m skipping meals to avoid making two mistakes.”

“….”

“What do you want to find out about me so much that you put all sorts of drugs into it?”

“….”

“I guess I know.”

Slur.

The old man raised his head.

I had no strength at all, but the more I talked, the more I felt energized. I actually felt energized.

What brought out that energy was pity for the other person, self-destruction, and anger that overwhelmed it all.

The old man finally saw the man in his eyes.

I couldn’t see the face because of the backlight. Now, he had been suppressed in everything except the minimum amount of demonic energy necessary for survival.

A man whose entire face was black. However, both eyes were clearly visible.

Eyes full of red desire.

A magical eye that is as hard as steel, as heavy as a rock, and as fierce as fire.

“Are you so eager for Pacheongyeol (破天訣)?”

“….”

“why? “Didn’t the master of the Light Blood say he wouldn’t teach you magic separately?”

The man’s eyes deepened.

There was a chill in his eyes that contrasted with his intense desire as he looked at the person who had once been his teacher.

“Even though I joined hands with them, I did not covet the bright-blooded martial arts skills. “I was afraid of their power and wanted their power, but I didn’t want the devil.”

“because?”

“Because I know that the magic skills of the Shinmarim Church, which have been passed down for generations, are no worse than those of the Gwanghyeol Cult.”

“….”

“The martial arts of Rimju, created by the founder of Shinmarim, are the best in the world, both in name and reality. “I may bow my head to the Gwanghyeol cult leader for a while because my level of achievement is low, but if I learn all of my master’s martial skills and work hard, will the Gwanghyeol cult leader be a problem?”

“…That’s an interesting statement. In the end, are you saying that you were not in league with the Gwangblood Cult but wanted to use them to become the greatest demon in the world?”

“If I can get my hands on the Pacheongyeol that Master has been hiding, I can become the best demon in the world.”

“You let your guard down.”

“…?”

“Normally, I wouldn’t have been able to see through your country of lies. “Did you let your guard down just because you took control of Shinmarim and brought me to this point?”

“….”

“Your dream is not the best in the world. No, there is nothing like a dream for you.”

“….”

“You are just an ugly bastard who has no sense of distinction between truth and misunderstanding and can only be jealous. “There is no purpose to your actions.”

Even as he spoke, the old man blamed himself.

absence? no.

This guy was always like that. Just because I let my guard down now doesn’t mean I saw through his lie.

It’s just that he trusted his firstborn too much.

I was so busy with my training that I neglected it too much. Knowing that he was very good at it, I paid more attention to other students.

In the end, it was he who created this situation.

“That’s interesting.”

The man turned around.

“You’d better eat some food. But even if you don’t eat it, death will come.”

“….”

“Of course you won’t pass away easily. Even if you want to, the demonic energy sleeping in Master’s body will never allow death.”

Sigh.

The man who closed the door halfway looked back at the old man.

There was a hint of mockery in the corner of his bent eyes.

“When I lose my mind, then I will be able to know the fate of Pacheon-gyeol.”

“…this guy.”

“Well, you don’t have to wait until then. In fact, I only saved your life for one reason. “I know who the master taught Pacheongyeol to.”

For a moment, the old man’s eyes wavered.

The iron door closed slowly.

The man’s voice gradually became quieter.

“My people will catch the third one soon. “You should have reached the central plains by now, so the day the third child comes is the day Master goes to the underworld.”

Clap!

The door closed and the latch locked.

The old man, trapped in the darkness again, leaned against the wall.

“…Hyorak.”

* * *

“There’s something I haven’t told you yet.”

Everyone’s heads turned.

Unexpectedly, the person who said those words was Okcheong.

Ugh.

A pure and mysterious energy rose from Okcheong’s body.

Cheon Hyorak and Hwahyang frowned without realizing it.

Although it was not as strong as the Great Gong Gong, Jade Qing’s Taoist magic energy was also very uncomfortable for them. Even Okcheong’s Honwongi (混元氣) was a rare new technique created by Geomseon Takmuja by compiling the martial arts of a shaman.

“Jade Cheong?”

“I don’t know why.”

Okcheong’s face was full of confusion.

While coming here, he had a hard time controlling the rampaging Honwongi.

The reason was obvious. This was because the high-level demonic energy flowing from the bodies of Cheon Hyorak and Hwahyang kept stimulating the soul energy.

It was also an opportunity. The demonic energy of the two people constantly stimulated and suppressed Okcheong’s true energy, and in the process of overcoming it, Okcheong was able to control the spirit energy much more precisely.

The realization of the law of mind that can only be obtained in pure qigong combat, which cannot be obtained in unit-level combat where slaughter occurs frequently.

Moreover, the density of the soul source also increased in opposition to the demonic energy, so this trip raised the level of the jade Qing just by moving.

“I don’t know why, but it seems like Prince Chen is hiding something more.”

“…?!”

“And I don’t think I have to know that, I just feel like that.”

Cheon Hyorak’s eyes deepened.

He looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.

Yeon Ho-jeong was smiling faintly.

‘For some reason, I wondered why they brought a warrior who was a bit unsophisticated.’

There was a reason.

I don’t know if the Taoist master’s intuition is good or if Taoism is a magical power, but the author seemed to be able to figure out the secret or purpose hidden within just by reading the tone of this person’s voice or eyes.

‘But is that possible?’

The public ambassador also could not fully read his own thoughts.

In other words, this could be said to be the special ability of the Taoist master named Okcheong.

Cheon Hyorak opened his mouth.

“I…”

“That’s enough.”

It was Yeon Ho-jeong who interrupted him.

“If there is something you must say, say it. “But there must be a reason for your hesitation.”

“…!”

“Please tell me only before we leave Shaanxi. There is still a lot of time and a long way to go. Do you understand?”

“…Thank you for your consideration.”

“I know, but there are a lot of holes in what you say. “I’m not saying you lied, but I can guess that you intentionally left out some important facts that needed to be known.”

Even before Okcheong’s detection ability, Yeonhojeong’s quick insight had already penetrated Cheon Hyorak.

“I don’t mind listening to it later. “But tell me this one thing now.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s pupils were colored with a soft golden color.

The moment Hyorak Cheon looked into those golden eyes, he felt something in his heart being shattered.

“They’re probably targeting you over there too, right?”

“That’s right.”

“To them, Seomseo is as dangerous as Hanam. “I think there’s a good chance they won’t be able to cause trouble in Shaanxi.”

“….”

“But after a conversation with the head of the Tang family, I thought that might be the case. So, I will ask.”

“….”

“Is there anything they want from you other than asking for support?”

“…That’s right.”

“Even though Qinghai Province is quite far away, they are well aware of the news from here. In that case, we can say that they also understand our movements to some extent. Is that right?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to go on the assumption that it’s certain. I will ask you one last question. “I wish you could tell me this clearly.”

“….”

“Is the fact that the leader of the rebellion joined hands with Gwangbloodism?”

Cheon Hyorak’s eyes wavered.

Even if it wasn’t, I was going to talk about that, but I asked first. This meant that Yeon Ho-jeong had excellent tactical insight.

“It’s not like that. However, those who are not Gwanghyeolgyo are also not free from the influence of Gwanghyeolgyo.”

The corners of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth rose.

“Yeah, I knew that would happen.”

He looked at the hotel.

“We need to change groups.”

“what? why? “What is it again?”

“Along with Mukbi, the two of us are part of this group. Please take charge of sniping and sneak attacks.”

“This kid is alone again. “Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head and said.

“The first team to break through to the front is led by Brother Makwon, with senior Paeyul and the assistant line. “Jipyeong and Okcheong and I will take on the role of command and reinforcement as a three-team unit that moves closely together with the carriage.”

“Hey man!”

“We need to get daily necessities such as food and spare clothing as quickly as possible and find our way to a place where there are no people.”

The official got angry.

“Explain as you go! If you don’t tell me properly, I will drill a hole in your head!”
