Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 908.

Breath of the Demon (3)

The road to Shinmarim in Cheonghae was quite rough.

After escaping from Gansu and entering Cheonghae, the group realized that the weather in Cheonghae was quite dry and cold. Of course, everyone had a lot of energy and was used to staying overnight, so there wasn’t much time to prepare thick clothes to avoid the cold.

But the air in Cheonghae was definitely different from Gansu. It felt more exotic than Gansu.

The sight of the wide-open grasslands, plains, and mountains lined up in the distance was overwhelming.

Looking here, it was desolate, and looking at that place, it was magnificent. A land that seems harmonious yet strangely disharmonious. So it was a land that was more mysterious, scary, and magical, making you want to see it often.

“This way.”

Cheon Hyorak also climbed onto the ceiling of the carriage.

His face was full of worry and turbulence as he smelled the vast land of his hometown. How difficult was the road from here to Jungwon? It was a situation in which it would not be strange to feel sentimental.

The details of the hotel improved quickly. Considering the internal injuries he suffered, it would have been right to recuperate for a month, but Yeon Ho-jeong corrected the internal injuries in the beginning, so after 15 days, he was in a state of considerable recovery.

“older brother.”

“hmm?”

Yeon Ji-pyeong held out the beef jerky.

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and accepted the beef jerky.

“Thank you.”

“How amazing.”

“what?”

“I never thought I would come all the way to Cheonghae with my brother.”

It’s because we both live very busy lives. In particular, hasn’t Yeon Ho-jeong lived like a person who has no tomorrow since Kang-ho’s departure?

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.

“Let’s come again in the future when the situation in the midfield gets better. “I also brought my father with me.”

“I really hope so.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face looked quite calm. It seemed like I had developed good discipline while coming here.

Yeon Ho-jeong did not bother to talk to Yeon Ji-pyeong about martial arts or his attitude.

I had faith, but I also thought that such things were meaningful only if I thought about them and achieved them myself. There was also the idea that all you had to do was learn by watching how he handled his work or how he dealt with his enemies.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was patting Yeon Ji-pyeong on the shoulder, looked at Ok Cheong and said.

“You’re about to explode.”

“yes?”

“My whole body is full of spirit energy? “Compared to when I started from Maeng, it is almost like heaven.”

Okcheong stroked her stomach.

“That’s right. “I’m nervous too.”

Unlike how he treated Yeon Ji-pyeong, Yeon Ho-jeong did not hesitate to give advice to Ok-cheong.

“You do know that Emperor Tian and his guard are stimulating Honyuan Qi to grow, right?”

“yes.”

“In fact, if you wanted to become the next shaman, you should not have joined the Mortal Death Army.”

Okcheong looked at Yeonhojeong with calm eyes.

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“Did you know?”

“yes. “In a vague way.”

“I had a conversation with Mr. Takmuja Noh Seon-bae. They say your sacrum is better than anyone else’s. “I heard that you thought that perhaps the shaman’s chief priest had appeared.”

“Is that so?”

“So you criticized me a lot in the beginning. “Of course it’s a joke.”

Okcheong’s expression became bitter.

“Of course, the world I see and the world you see are different.”

“It has to be that way. “Everyone is like that.”

“Master wanted me to immerse myself in the energy of Mt. Wudang and become a true swordsman. Maybe… if I hadn’t come out into the world, I might have grown really fast.”

It must have been so. In fact, during the time of the Emperor of Darkness, Okcheong’s military power was great.

Unfortunately, he was killed by a master sent from Samgyo, but Okcheong was a genius who broke through martial arts at a young age.

“But now I don’t regret the path I chose.”

“Is that so?”

“Where can I use the Tao I gained by staying in the mountains?”

“I will be able to achieve my own perfection.”

“Yes, that’s just one thing.”

Just that one thing.

That was the only personal achievement Okcheong could see.

Yeon Ho-jeong asked with a smile.

“Is there anything more important than that?”

“If I hadn’t joined the Mortal Army, I wouldn’t have known.”

“I see.”

“It is not important whether you have the talent to achieve the Tao or not. If I have any power, I just use it with all my heart for the world. “Even if it deviates from the Tao, it seems more correct in my eyes.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who had been quietly watching Okcheong, turned his gaze forward again and said.

“I don’t know if I can say this to a Taoist monk, but I heard that even the Buddha of Heaven and Earth threw away his wealth and fame and went out into the world to practice penance in order to attain enlightenment.”

“….”

“Enlightenment is not something that can be achieved through hard work. You don’t have to go through hardships to gain enlightenment. Still, the Buddha came into the world and witnessed with his own eyes a life full of suffering. “Even though that in itself would be painful.”

“….”

“Every moment in life has its own meaning. It cannot be said that the Tao that is confined in the mountains is inferior to the Tao that has sprouted after experiencing the world.”

“you’re right.”

“In the end, it’s a difference in how we see the world. Even amidst the differences, the world is stirring.”

Yeon Ho-jeong patted Ok Cheong on the back.

“Honwongi is making a loud noise. What you have seen and experienced will soon give you enlightenment. “Make sure you keep pushing forward.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

No one intervened, but everyone in the group was listening to the two people’s conversation.

Some people pondered the conversation seriously, while others listened with one ear and let it go.

But at least the traces left by the conversation were engraved in all of their hearts.

The road to Shinmarim was quiet.

The population density of Qinghai Province was quite low. Is that why? There weren’t many people we met along the way.

‘….’

It was the seventh day after entering Cheonghae.

Makwon felt a strange feeling.

“Brother.”

“yes.”

“I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this, right?”

Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes.

“I think I’m in the zone.”

“As expected.”

Mukbi asked.

“What does that mean?”

“It felt a bit strange from the moment I entered Cheonghae. “We only met a few people, but most of them showed little curiosity or wariness when they looked at us.”

“Do you feel that?”

“any.”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the sky.

“I’ve been seeing a lot of hawks for the past few days.”

Paeyul’s eyes deepened.

“Are you contacting Shinmarim?”

“To be exact, it’s not the Shinmarim, but the Archduke’s side.”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Cheon Hyo-rak and asked.

“Isn’t that so?”

Cheon Hyorak nodded heavily.

“I guess so. But…”

“…?”

“That’s strange. “Although Bon Lim’s information power is very good, I can’t use Jeon Seo-eung that much.”

Cheon Hyo-rak’s eyes sank.

“I’ve just realized that his speed seems to be faster than that of Jeon Seo-eung, who was raised in this rim. “If you look at the distance it flies, it seems to have greater endurance.”

“It’s Gwanghyeolgyo.”

The official, who was riding a horse with his eyes closed, said:

“It would be a response from Gwanghyeolgyo. “I thought it felt familiar somehow.”

The mood of the group suddenly changed.

Yeon Ho-jeong said.

“Eyes on us have become sharper. “It looks like it has probably entered Shinmarim’s territory.”

Cheon Hyorak said.

“The realm of true divine demons requires one more day. However, if the Great Brother is stationed here with the power of the Gwangma… perhaps the fight has already begun.”

Silence fell between the group.

Yeon Ho-jeong looked back at the hall.

The official grinned.

“do not worry. “I’m fine.”

It may not be in perfect physical condition. But there seemed to be no problem with fighting.

Yeon Ho-jeong rode next to Pae-yul and Bu-seon.

“Seniors.”

“Say it.”

“Be at the forefront with your side ships. “If we discover the enemy, then both of us must take the lead.”

“The two of you?”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked back at Dang-gwan and Muk-bi.

“There will be support fire from the rear. “Right?”

Mukbi nodded and checked the bowstring, and the official snorted.

“Is there any need to have a leader? “They’ll all blow their heads off before they even get there.”

Paeyul grinned.

“good night.”

When Yeon Ho-jeong looked back at Buseon, she immediately opened her mouth.

“I know we fight as usual.”

“good. “After all, I never forget something I’ve said.”

At that time, Buseon said something unexpected.

“Please watch behind me.”

“hmm? what?”

“After seeing Sahyeong’s martial arts skills, I wanted to test myself. “If a fight breaks out, please watch carefully.”

The beat rate was whistled.

“Testing it in real life? As expected, it’s amazing. “There is a pulpit.”

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“Then you could die by being stabbed blindly.”

“Then I guess my limit is there.”

“good. “I’ll take a good look at it.”

Makwon stepped back and stood on the right side of the carriage. It was the place where Okcheong was located.

Yeon Ho-jeong and Yeon Ji-pyeong rode on the left side of the carriage, and Dang-gwan and Muk-bi, who were five feet away from the carriage, drove the horses on the left and right.

Yeon Ho-jeong looked back.

There was an iron team following the group at a distance of about a dozen lengths.

Hwang Seok-tae smiled and nodded. I heard the whole conversation here.

It was then.

“…now let me go.”

Daegeumbul’s weak voice was heard from inside the carriage.

The group looked at Yeonhojeong.

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded with a calm face.

“i get it. Instead, there is a shortage of food. “I’ll fill you up with plenty of water, so take care of your own food.”

“Joe is good.”

Daegeumbul’s voice was full of trembling. As time passed, I wondered what would happen if Yeon Ho-jeong did not keep his promise, but he said he would let her go in peace.

Yeon Ho-jeong spoke to Cheon Hyo-rak and Hwa-hyang.

“Get inside the carriage. “Let me sit on the ceiling.”

“All right.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong held the reins of Yeonhojeong.

As Yeon Ho-jeong climbed up to the ceiling, the door opened and Daegeumbul came out and got on a horse. Although it is still difficult to use the original internal energy, the physical abilities that I have trained my entire life have not gone anywhere.

As Cheon Hyo-rak and Hwahyang entered the carriage, Yeon Ho-jeong said.

“good. “Don’t appear before us again.”

Daegeumbul turned his head without answering. Then I ran comfortably west.

Mukbi glanced at Yeonhojeong.

“Shall we shoot?”

The official looked at Mukbi with wide eyes.

“You let this guy go, why are you shooting him again?”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen a practitioner let go so obediently. “I think there’s something dark about it.”

“Even the people back home don’t do that. “This person seems to be more outgoing than I thought.”

Yeon Ho-jeong waved his hand.

“Just let it go. “It is impossible to influence the general trend anyway.”

“Still.”

“You never know. “It may cause division of its own kind.”

“yes?”

It was then.

“You’re here.”

A group of people appeared in the distance.

It was such a long distance. It seemed to be at least twenty miles away.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

‘He suddenly appeared?’

Except for the mountains, it was an open plain. If he was going to show up, he should have shown up sooner.

‘There is something, after all.’

Makwon’s eyes narrowed.

“I’m not sure. The distance is too far. Still, everyone rode a horse.”

“It’s Mine.”

Yeon Ho-jeong took a deep breath.

The eyes of the coiled yellow dragon slowly opened.

‘It’s the smell of magic.’

A pleasant scent with strong malice was mixed in the extremely cool air of Cheonghae.

“What are you going to do?”

“What are you going to do? “It’s a question and answer dance.”

“Still, we have to listen to the story…”

“Let’s listen after we’ve knocked out all the stories. Senior Paeyul.”

Paeyul swung the reins vigorously.

“Hey!”

Hee hee hee!

The lead and auxiliary ships increased their speed. At the same time, the carriages and the horses following behind also increased their speed.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who had placed the Gwangryongbu on the ceiling of the carriage, pulled out the black and white Twin Dragonbu and placed it on his lap.

‘Now how are you going to get out?’
