Episode 810
A tiger that does not live in a burrow (4)
What Yeon Ho-jeong did at the restaurant quickly spread throughout the Mukryongbu.
Only a few people felt relieved by his actions, and the majority felt uneasy. They are anxious about what might happen again in the rapidly changing situation and atmosphere.
In a sense, the tendencies of the ck Inders were the same as the majority of people living in the modern era. Since they are the ones who see blood due to the conflict andpetition between high-ranking people, they have no choice but to react sensitively and feel anxious.
That is why it was said that ck ind is reality and white ind is utopia.
You cannot find people who are self-absorbed, rough, anxious, and risk their lives for one ideal.
But surprisingly, the more power they have and the more powerful they are, the more blurred the line between ckness and whiteness bes.
Those who have gained strong power want even stronger power. Naturally, it is unthinkable to lose the power you already have.
Yeon Ho-jeong touched that exact point.
And the ck Ind leaders gathered within the Mukryongbu began to act ording to Yeonhojeong’s thoughts.
* * *
Kugoogung!
The gates of Daejeon opened and several leaders of the ck Ind appeared.
The masters of the five prestigious ns of Heukdo, including the main chaeju of Yanggang Surochae, were present. There were three merchants in Heukdo who earned astronomical amounts of money through various illegal businesses, including salt trading.
Just like that, nine big names came to Yangcheon.
“It’s fun.”
A wry smile appeared on Yang Cheon’s face as he sat in the royal pce.
“It’s quite new to see people who are hard to see each other flocking here.”
The nine leaders knelt down and bowed their heads.
“I meet the owner of the Ink Dragon Club.”
They always referred to Yang Cheon as the Lord of the ck Ind and the King of the ck Ind. The word ‘owner of the Mukryongbu’ came out of their mouths. Aside from being afraid of Yang Chen, I could see how angry he was.
Yang Chen, who was remorseful, saw through their intentions at once. It was difficult not to know given the situation.
“So, why did you all gather together ande all the way to Ye?”
The leaders looked at each other in silence.
Yang Chen’s eyes sparkled.
“Why are we looking at each other? “It looks like you’re trying to say something you shouldn’t say to me, right?”
“That’s not true!”
The leaders bow their heads once again.
Among them, Go In-wook, the head lender of Janggang Surochae, straightened his back and said.
“The reason we came to Daejeon like this is because of an incident that urred at a restaurant not long ago.”
“Oh, you mean that incident?”
Yang Chenughed bitterly again.
“why? “Have you alsomitted some crime against Lord Sobu?”
“That’s not true.”
“if?”
Go In-wook gritted his teeth.
“After you reigned as the king of the dark ind, we always served you with all our hearts.”
“Is that so?”
“…If you were displeased with our shorings, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize.”
Yang Chen waved his hand carelessly.
“Okay, so what do you have to say?”
Go In-wook hesitated for a moment. This was because Yangcheon’s reaction was more sour than expected.
But the water had already spilled.
“The actions of Sobuju, who murdered Noklim’s head lender, will cause great chaos in Heukdo. “Killing the head of Green Forest for no apparent reason. Is there anything more tragic than this?”
“There is no reason?”
“Of course, the son of the general lender dishonored the small owner and his friend, but even so, punishing the general lender was excessive. Moreover, it is said that the head lender personally killed his son and trampled on his loyalty to establish the authority of Mukryongbu. “This is something that should never be ignored.”
Yang Chen tilted his head.
“Look at Go In-wook.”
Call them by their first name, not their title.
Just that title made Go In-wook and all the leaders who came with him feel uneasy.
“Yes, sir.”
“Are you trying to y politics with me now?”
“omg! It’s not even worth it! How can a person be like that…! Absolutely not!”
“But why do you, like the hypocrites of the Baekdo faction, pick out only the information that is advantageous to you and talk about it as if that is the only truth?”
“Bubu lord?”
“Otherwise.”
hook!
Yangcheon’s ck energy wave took over Daejeon in an instant.
“Are you trying toe and question this king of the dark ind whom you so faithfully serve without properly investigating the series of events?”
“Huh!”
Go In-wook fell down on the spot.
“sorry! “I was never like that…!”
“if? “Why are they taking such absurd group action?”
Cold sweat dripped from Go In-wook’s forehead.
At that time, one of the leaders in the lead straightened his back.
A man with a powerful appearance and an eyepatch over one eye was none other than the Ark Dok-Angwido (獨眼鬼刀) Seokpae of the prestigious ck Swordsman Gwangdo Bang (狂刀房).
“Can I say a word about the Ark of Light’s stone que?”
“I allow it.”
“I understand that the reason Sobuju killed general creditor Jo Dong-guk was because of his petty behavior.”
“It’s a petty act.”
“That’s right. But that’s entirely…”
“Tell me.”
“yes?”
“Tell me with your own words what that petty act was.”
Seokpae’s single eye slightly wavered.
But even for a moment.
“Cho Dong-guk, the general creditor, failed to properly manage his subordinates. “They often went down to the vige to hunt humans and humiliate women.”
“and?”
“Furthermore, the head lender himself said that he abused the beautiful women he kidnapped from all over the country and killed them when they were no longer of use.”
“so?”
“yes?”
Yang Chen’s eyes became indifferent.
“There are so many reasons to die. So what do you think?”
A feeling of iprehension appeared on Seokpae’s face.
“It’s true that he did something shameful, but isn’t that someone worth losing his life for?”
“At best?”
“…Even if a person is charged with a crime, it is appropriate that a decision be made after clearly weighing the faults and wrongs through legal procedures. “It is clear that this act of petty carelessness was excessive, no matter how generously we look at it.”
“That’s another interesting thing to say.”
Yang Chen tilted his head.
“Is your position higher than that of Sobuju?”
“Of course not.”
“if? “Why are you so generous to Sobuju that you say something like ‘mani’?”
Seokpae’s cheeks trembled slightly.
“It’s not my view, but based onmon sense, Sobuju’s actions were clearly wrong.”
Grumble!
Yang Cheon’s prayers became hot like fire. In the face of such intense prayer, even Seokpae, who was proud and strong, could not help but feel fear.
“Are you discussingmon sense in front of me?”
“…Sir.”
“You’ve grown so much in the time we’ve never seen each other, Seokpae.”
In an instant, Seokpae’s face turned pale.
He slowly bowed his head.
“sorry. The small man was careless and disturbed the mind of the vice-lord…”
That was then.
Crump!
“Ugh!”
Seokpae suddenly stood up and froze in his upright posture.
Yang Cheon stretched out his hand towards him, and the ck Lion’s energy flowing from the tip of his strong finger became an invisible rope andpletely tied up the stone tablet.
Seokpae’s face turned red.
I tried my best, but I couldn’t escape from these strong intangible bonds.
‘This can’t be right!’
No matter how severe the difference in level was, this was too much.
Of course, even a Holy Heavenly Master cannot tie up a Transcendent Master by openly using empty tricks. However, Yang Cheon’s fierceness created a gap in Seok Pae’s heart, and Yang Cheon’s true spirit did not miss the gap and immediately captured his mind and body.
Yang Chen’s hand gradually tightened.
Uduk!
“Tsk!!”
Seokpae’s right arm was bent at a strange angle.
Wow!!
The entire Daejeon actually became dark. Yangcheon’s ck lion porcin even darkened the light of Yamyeongju.
It was like watching a winter evening with lots of dark clouds. Yang Cheon’s divine skill was that powerful.
“Confidence is the courage shown by someone who has no hesitation in his own feelings, not the arrogance shown by a rotten dog-eyed person who does not know right from wrong.”
“Ugh! Vice lord! “I just…!”
“The thing about Jo Dong-guk was too much? So what are we going to do?”
Yang Chen smiled coldly.
“why? Did you think I would back down if you guys came forward as a group? “Is this action based on the absurd calction that without your strength, the Inkryongbu is only half as good, so even Tuwang wouldn’t dare do anything rashly?”
“…!!”
“It seems like you have already forgotten how I ced you under mymand, even though it wasn’t that long ago.”
Yang Chen clicked his tongue.
“I never thought I would be this stupid. “It makes me want to rip out my eyes for dreaming of unifying the world with these guys.”
There was fear on Seokpae’s face.
“My lord! Please forgive me…!”
“Forgiveness?”
Yang Cheon turned his head to the corridor next to the Taesa.
“You make your decision. Should I forgive that ruthless bastard?”
It was then.
Phew!
A ck air current swirled and appeared from inside the corridor.
The fearsome beastliness created by that powerful force was identical to that of Yangcheon. It was a somewhat rough prayer as it was notpletely resolved, but the atmosphere was a positive one.
Astonishment appeared on the faces of the leaders. The power of Yangcheon, who controlled Daejeon, and the power of Dongryu were swirling within the corridor.
and.
Qarring!
A huge wind blew in an arc along with a burst of explosions.
Whoa whoa!
With a terrible sound, the head of the stone tablet was smashed spectacrly.
Jump and jump.
Yeon Ho-jeong walked out of the corridor.
“Didn’t youmit a mortal sin the moment you dared to overlook the grave sin of exploiting and humiliating the people you were supposed to protect?”
“yes.”
Yeon Ho-jeong knelt down towards Taesa.
“See you, Master.”
“It was a wonderful whirlwind lion fist.”
“There is still a lot missing.”
“That’s something that can’t be helped. However, with your intelligence and qualifications, you will be able to make it yours in no time.”
Whoa!
The energy of Yangcheon, who had dominated Daejeon, disappeared as if washed away.
puck! Toad!
Seokpae’s headless body flew off the red carpet andnded on the floor.
“…!!”
The faces of the remaining leaders went from white to blue. The energy that had taken over Daejeon hadpletely disappeared, but the fear it had sown still remained.
Yang Chen looked down at them with cold eyes.
“The fangs are yellow and the ws are crushed, so I can’t even hunt with my own hands. So you guys are half a penny.”
“…!”
“You too must have fought countless times to take that position. “He led a sessful life of his own after rough but fierce efforts, such as killing a rival, stabbing a teacher, betraying a subordinate, rallying forces, and engaging in a power struggle.”
“….”
“If you lived like that, no matter what the process was, if you achieved the best position, you should have shown yourself as a person worthy of that position. “Isn’t that right?”
Yang Chen clicked his tongue.
“It is only natural that you guys will be purged.”
The leaders raised their heads in surprise.
Yang Cheon looked at Yeon Ho Jeong and nodded.
Yeon Ho-jeong said in a hard voice.
“I investigated your organization. “There are a lot of talented people who have good abilities but no connections, and have high ideals, but are crawling along the ground because they can’t ovee the trickery of small-time people.”
“…?!”
“We have summoned them all to the Mukryongbu. From now on, they are the ones who will create a new era with us instead of you.”
“Huh!”
In the eyes of Yeon Ho-jeong, who saw the chieftains unable toe to their senses, life was young.
“If you don’t want to do that, you can prove your worth here and now.”
