Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 880

Lord of the King of Fist (5)

Huuuung.

The cold wind passed through the two people’s hair.

Yeon Ho-jeong took off his outer garment and covered Bu-seon’s shoulders.

Yeonwi, who was quietly looking at her son, asked as if asking.

“Did you say that the mind and sword that I realized is eating away at my mind and heart?”

“yes. “It’s not serious.”

“Did you say it was visible to you?”

“I can see it now, but I think I vaguely knew about it before.”

“…!”

Yeon Ho-jeong carefully filled his glass.

Yeonwi, who was looking at her son, emptied her glass. Yeon Ho-jeong refilled Yeon Wi’s cup.

“Is that what you said about getting to the top quickly?”

“yes.”

“….”

“I guess it wasn’t just me. I heard that you had a conversation with Geomje Noh Seon-bae. “Didn’t Master Noh tell you?”

Yeonwi’s eyes wavered.

‘How is it that an extraordinary practitioner who has attained the path of meditation and meditation has not yet shed his human body?’

‘The mind and body are one. He is bridging the gap with his fierce will, but in the end, there are limits.’

Namgungseung said: If the physical body fails to reach that level of enlightenment, it will inevitably lose everything it possesses.

And that was what the chronology had guessed as well.

However, he did not know that this enlightenment called the sword of the mind was eating away at his mind and heart. He just thought it was a treasure that could be lost, but he had no idea that it would destroy him.

“Abby… I don’t know how she’ll take it when I say this, but she’s really fine.”

“It’s not like that. My father is not okay. “It just looks fine.”

Yeonwi’s eyes wavered.

My son’s answer was decisive.

At any time and at any moment, my son’s work was unhindered. Unlike half-geniuses who are only smart but don’t know which path to take, my son even has an unconventional drive.

But on the other hand, he was also a guy who cared more about his blood than anyone else. Moreover, because he still harbored the guilt of having survived alone after his family collapsed in his previous life, he never spoke so aggressively in front of his father.

‘There is something there.’

Changes that you cannot feel yourself.

Yeonwi believed in his son. There must be a reason why your son says this. Putting aside enlightenment and looking at the level of martial arts, Yeon Ho-jeong was a man whose skills far exceeded his own.

“If it looks that way to you, there must be a reason why.”

Yeonwi sighed.

“I still have a long way to go.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at Yeon-wi in confusion, asked as if throwing a question.

“Why don’t you ask?”

“hmm? “What do you mean?”

“Why don’t you ask yourself how you can get out of this state when you don’t feel that there is something wrong with your mind or heart?”

“That is….”

“Father.”

“…?”

“The war is not over.”

“…!!”

Why?

Yeonwi felt a shock that made her backbone stiffen even though she only heard the simple truth that she herself knew from her son’s mouth.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly examining Yeon Wi’s face, spoke carefully.

“For me to dare to find out my father’s true intentions may, in some sense, be against etiquette. “But this time, I would like to tell you what I see under the excuse that it is for my father’s sake.”

“….”

“Father, his dream came true.”

“dream…?”

“There is no such thing as a safe place anywhere in the central world. There is no need to divide white and black. The world is very dangerous. “It is an environment where you never know when, where, and how someone might try to take your life, so it is difficult for anyone to survive while shouting out their beliefs in such a place.”

“What did you want to say?”

“My father has proven himself admirably in that world. “The reason Yeonga’s name stands shoulder to shoulder with the leading families of the central region is probably because of my father’s efforts.”

“….”

“But my father had concerns. “It is a worry that all parents in the world have no choice but to have, but no one knows the depth of my anxiety.”

“I’m worried….”

“It’s me and Jipyeong.”

“…!”

Yeonwi’s eyes shook as if there had been an earthquake.

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“As a child of the Murim family, it is my destiny to go out into the world and prove myself. However, this world called martial arts is extremely dangerous, and if you make even the slightest mistake, you can lose your life for nothing.”

“….”

“I proved myself in that world. And now, Jipyeong is also young, but he is fully prepared to start a family.”

Although he was talented and skilled, Yeonwi had already made up his mind to make Yeonjipyeong the head of Soga.

In other words, not only the eldest son, Yeon Ho-jeong, but also the second son, Yeon Ji-pyeong, have already grown up enough.

For Yeonwi, who lost her lifelong companion, there is nothing more important than raising her children healthily. It is important to protect the family line built by ancestors, but his primary task is to raise his children well.

Luckily, Yeonwi’s two sons perfected themselves much faster than others. There is no need to be in your father’s arms anymore.

‘My dream came true.’

What was Yeonwi’s dream?

Was he the strongest swordsman in the world? Or did you want to live the life of a seeker who devoted his life to swordsmanship like the swordsman of Namgung?

That was not the Union’s goal. When this end of life comes, it may become a goal to aim for, but not now.

I will become a husband who will not be ashamed of my wife.

In the future, I will meet my wife who has passed away before me, and I will be happy to laugh and say that our children have grown up so wonderfully.

If you don’t achieve that dream, your life is worthless. For Yeonwi, the very existence of Yeonhojeong and Yeonjipyeong is like a lifelong dream.

‘Why did I sharpen my sword?’

Yeonwi was a man who loved the sword.

But he was also a man who loved his children ten thousand times more than that sword.

To him, the sword and martial arts were means. It was just a fence to protect my children.

And unfortunately, the world was a mess. It was only after my son went out into the world and fought against foreign enemies that I realized that a crisis in the world that I had not noticed before was just around the corner.

It was at that time that Yeonwi began to grow explosively. The reason I risked my life to sharpen my sword was to protect my children in such a harsh world before the world.

But now?

“It was peaceful, right?”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked around.

“After re-entering the Murim Alliance, I spent such peaceful and peaceful days for the first time in a long time. “To put it mildly, it was full of boring daily life.”

“….”

“But father. Countless powerful people are flocking to the peaceful Murim Alliance. Ambassador Gong Gong ascended to the Mugeuk stage and became the first leader, and an unexpected talent from Shinmarim also came to see us. “What could be the reason?”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.

“The fight against the three religions is not over. Rather, a more insidious and dangerous war awaits us. So to speak, the peace now is the calm before the storm.”

Yeonwi’s fists gradually gained strength.

“Your father knows that too. But your dream has already come true.”

“You mean…”

“Yes.”

“….”

“I have completed my life’s goal, and this is the end of my father’s journey.”

“…!”

“But the first goal has only been accomplished. My father must aim for higher heights next year and the year after that. “Because human life does not end with achieving one goal.”

Yeon Ho-jeong emptied his glass.

“Cutting the minds and hearts of others means having a powerful influence on their minds and hearts. And furthermore….”

“….”

“It even harms your own mind and heart. “All the enlightenments in the world are like mirrors.”

A look of confusion appeared on Yeonwi’s face.

As my son said, if he knew there was something wrong with him, he should have asked what the problem was. And I had to try to fix it.

But Yeonwi did not ask Yeonhojeong that.

Because it was okay.

This feeling is because I am satisfied with my current life.

My two sons have grown up so well that I can’t be more satisfied than this. Right now, the only thing that mattered to Yeonwi was that he had achieved his lifelong dream.

Considering Yeonwi’s original personality, this is unimaginable.

The sword he achieved was as dangerous as his supreme influence, allowing him to maintain the status quo he wanted most.

My sword knew that my heart was satisfied and cut down everything else.

“That power cannot be handled by those who have not reached the peak of martial arts. Because it’s out of control.”

“….”

“If my father reaches the level of martial arts, he will be able to control his rampaging heart and sword. In addition, the ability that has become a magic sword that unconsciously influences people may no longer be implemented.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“I want to see my father lose that bad sense that I started growing on my own because I couldn’t control it.”

Pusssss.

The cup in Yeonwi’s hand turned into powder and scattered.

It was not because my inner energy was unleashed. The energy of the Heart Sword that flowed out unconsciously turned the cup into powder.

He read Yeonwi’s dizzy state of self-destruction and tried to get rid of what he was holding.

Yeonwi looked at her hands in surprise.

“Simgeom is having a hard time.”

“this…?”

“It’s getting out of my father’s control. No, you probably didn’t even control it. “You must have thought that enlightenment was natural.”

“…!!”

“It’s not your fault, father. But as an unmanned person, this is a shame. “Right?”

“….”

Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.

“Tomorrow is the leader’s appointment ceremony.”

“….”

“As you may have heard, the appointment ceremony will be extremely short and simple. “This is behavior worthy of an ambassador.”

“….”

“There will be a small festival after the appointment ceremony. It is a wonderful festival suitable for the martial arts people. And the main characters of the festival are me and Doje Seonbae.”

Yeonwi looked at Yeonhojeong with surprised eyes.

“I will show you this handsome eldest son at the festival. “How beautiful strength is, and how scary it is to have perfectly controlled power.”

Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his head and immediately turned around.

His voice, which he left before leaving Pagungak, became a song and lingered in Yeonwi’s ears.

“Don’t forget. “My father is the head judge of Gangdong Byeoksan Yeonga.”
