Chapter 493

Episode 493A storm rages (4)

Boom!

“Damn it.”

I could feel the terrifying anger from the fist hitting the table.

“Did he notice?”

This was the first time I actually talked to Yeon Ho-jeong face to face.

In fact, I knew very well why the school was keeping an eye on Yeon Ho-jeong.

Yayuljeok died at the hands of Yeonhojeong and Firefighter went missing. The power of Guangdong Province, which had been controlled with great effort for a long time, was disintegrated in an instant.

Is that all?

Yeon Ho-jeong was there even when there was a life-or-death battle with the Shinhwa religious leaders. I heard that he played a decisive role along with Yeonwi in defeating the First Warlord Beonjak.

It is even said that it is highly likely that Yeon Ho-jeong was the first person to discover the Shinhwa religion’s information base near the Murim League.

In other words, Yeonhojeong was completely involved in the major fight between the three religions and the Murim Alliance.

Even though he knew that, he did not see Yeonhojeong as very dangerous. The talent, insight, and resourcefulness are certainly great, but I thought that the limits of youth were clear in the end.

No matter how genius you are, it is difficult to overcome years of experience.

In the end, it is undoubtedly true that Yeon Ho-jeong went on a rampage in the middle of nowhere, but there was someone else who actually supported him from behind. He thought so.

‘It wasn’t Zhuge Munho.’

A real monster who used Yeonhojeong as his horse and used his keen insight to eradicate the masters of myth and evil one by one.

He thought it was Zhuge Li.

In fact, Zhuge Li’s presence at the recent meeting was truly remarkable. It gave me chills to think that he had been hiding something like that all this time.

However, after meeting Yeon Ho-jeong today, he felt the need to completely revise his thoughts.

‘It was Yeon Ho-jeong, not Zhuge Mun-ho. No, to be exact, it is highly likely that it was a collaboration between Yeon Hao-jeong and Zhuge Liang.’

In an instant, goosebumps appeared all over my body.

Yeon Ho-jeong did not bother to hide himself. Nevertheless, he went ahead and most people saw Zhuge Wenhu behind him rather than Yan Haozheng.

Only now did he realize.

How dangerous Yeonhojeong is. In fact, the central figure who defeated the masters of the three religions was Yeon Hao-jeong rather than Zhuge Mun-ho.

‘He saw me.’

One of the conditions required to become a Sejak was intuition.

An intuition that cannot be explained by logic. A sensitive temperament that can detect approaching danger in a dangerous atmosphere.

He had it with him. And that innate sixth sense bloomed in full bloom thanks to my advanced martial arts skills and peak internal skills.

That sixth sense was speaking.

‘They were watching me more than Deokho. We didn’t make much eye contact, but all his attention was on me.’

Pungbyeokja bit his lip. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I haven’t gotten past the suspicion stage yet. But it’s clear that sooner or later it will strangle me.”

Besides his sixth sense, one of the reasons why he thought Yeon Ho-jeong doubted him was his reaction.

The powerful energy wave that exploded as Jeomchang’s defeat rate and Cheongseong’s swordsman fought was so surprising that it shook his inner energy, which was extremely tense.

Pungbyeokja remembered that feeling at that moment.

A time when the core of the ‘mask’ hidden in a bet that was shaken without one’s knowledge was revealed, even if only for a moment.

And without missing that moment, he remembered the look in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes when he saw him.

‘No. We need to think differently. ‘It’s right to move with the thought that you are confident, not at the level of doubt.’

Pungbyeokja felt in danger.

‘Shit! In the cooked rice…!’

He was an outstanding talent as a Sejak. However, we have never experienced a real threat until now.

In the first place, he was the leader of the Old Daemun Sect and was raised to instill in the Murim Alliance. That was the reason why he never experienced the threat to his life that many Sejak experienced.

Is that why?

In my head, I knew I had to be cool, but it wasn’t easy to do so. If you make a mistake, the decades of working as a Sejak could be destroyed in one fell swoop.

The heavy burden of that reality continued to disturb his composure.

‘You shouldn’t be passively dragged around like this.’

The enemy is suspecting me.

In that case, there are three escape routes.

The first is to put the blame on others so that the enemy can withdraw their suspicions.

Second, let the suspicions run their course, but make a big incident that can divert attention and get the body out of the way.

Lastly, kill anyone who doubts you without even realizing it.

‘What should I do?’

The most stable is the first method.

If you place the suspicion on others and make them confident that you have tracked down Sejak, the suspicion will no longer return to you. Because it is rare to suspect someone once you have escaped suspicion again.

Of course, the most obvious is the third method. If you kill both Yan Haozheng and Zhuge Wenhu, the chaos will be maximized and you will also be safe.

‘The second case cannot be used.’

The windbreaker’s eyes deepened.

‘Then I die.’

What if you successfully throw yourself away? If I escape safely, will my safety be guaranteed?

That can never happen. In the first place, he was raised as a member of the martial arts faction. If such a Sejak runs away out of fear for his life, the Three Churches will never let him live.

‘One way or another, it is a situation where we have no choice but to take unreasonable measures.’

The face of the windbreaker was distorted.

“Damn it, why doesn’t that guy show up at times like this? “You know it’s not the time to leave!”

The manager was a person with good intuition like himself.

Even reaching its peak, the art of hiding was so great that it was almost comparable to that of the God of Darkness. It was only natural that he, like himself, was raised to live his entire life as a manager.

If you put your mind to it, you will be able to easily escape from Jingdang’s prison, the Ink Dragon Department, or even the imperial palace’s prison. There is no place he cannot penetrate.

Thanks to him, he knew everything. When something important happened, he would approach using stealth techniques that he would not even be aware of, and would disappear after seeing the whole situation.

‘Did he come this time too?’

Maybe he didn’t come. If he had come, he would have realized how dangerous Yeon Ho-jeong is.

‘it’s okay. There is no need to wait for someone who is not there now.’

Eventually he had to make a decision.

‘The first way… It’s okay to shift suspicion to others, but the key is how much Yeon Ho-jeong’s suspicion is about me.’

If you are almost certain, it would be pointless to put doubt on others. Rather, there is a high probability that they will think that they are struggling even more because they are cornered.

then?

“…There’s nothing I can do.”

A flash of murderous intent erupted from the windbreaker’s eyes.

“I have no choice but to kill both Yan Hao-jeong and Zhuge Wen-ho.”

* * *

Yan Haozheng did not go to Zhuge Wenhu.

Before that, I called Yeonwi, Danggwan, and Prince Moyong.

“What happened?”

Yeon Ho-jeong immediately answered the official’s question.

“Those two people are definitely suspicious.”

“Hmm.”

A look of confusion appeared on Yeonwi’s face.

“It’s Seunghyeonjinin and Bokho incident.”

When they gathered and gathered information, the two people who were most suspicious were Seunghyeonjinin of the Shaman faction and Bokhosae of the Ami faction.

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.

“No, I don’t mean those two.”

“if?”

“Seunghyunjin is definitely suspicious. Assuming that Sejak of the Three Schools has learned the martial arts of the nine schools, knows how to hide himself perfectly, and performs the role of Jangmunin better than anyone else, there will be no one more suspicious than Seunghyeonjin.”

He felt Seunghyunjin’s sincerity.

But that didn’t erase my suspicions about him. On the contrary, I was even more suspicious of him because he seemed so much like a Taoist.

“If Seunghyeonjinin is the enemy’s three-jak… it’s really not a scary thing.”

If there is a Sejak in any of the nine factions, it is definitely a scary thing.

But the Independents were different. Is Jang Mun-jin, a member of the Shaman sect known as Taishan Bukdu along with Shaolin, an enemy?

If that is true, it means that there are no limits to the three religions. The same goes for other schools, but in particular, the martial arts of the Shaman school placed importance on character along with Shaolin.

If he was able to fool even a worn-out adult, he was no ordinary scary person.

Even in the Shaman faction, there was an invincible master who argued that it was the best in the world at the time.

Geomseon Takmuja.

He was Banseon (半仙), who is evaluated to be ahead of the Shaolin priests in terms of martial arts as well as enlightenment.

Even Takmuja was deceived? Then no one can catch him. If he had that level of mental strength, he would play the role of Jang Mun-in of the shaman faction until the moment he dies.

‘Honestly, there are a lot of things to be suspicious about. If we look at Seunghyunjin’s past, unlike now, he went through quite a cold and turbulent time. In a way, his desire to become a long-time writer seemed stronger than anyone else’s.’

Yeon Ho-jeong’s face became blurred.

‘But…’

There are many reasons to doubt, but speaking in the realm of intuition, he could not smell Sejak in Seunghyeonjin.

“Then who is the one person you think of? “Wasn’t it a decryption incident?”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.

“Before I met you, I suspected the decryption incident. According to the information we have all analyzed, it is clear that Bokhosanat spent his youth with an over-emphasized sense of justice. And if you look at his actions leading up to becoming Jang Moon-in, he was just as greedy as Seung Hyeon-jin.”

There is no reason not to have a desire to rise in social status just because one has a strong sense of justice. Anyone can want to be the best and dream of leading others in the best position.

“But I was more suspicious of a defector rather than a recovery incident.”

Mo Yong-gun’s eyes narrowed.

“Cheongseong?”

“That’s right.”

“Why did you feel that way?”

“Well… actually, if you look at it calmly, there is no reason to doubt him. But…”

Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.

“I felt like something had been carved out of it.”

“Carved?”

“yes. I felt like I was perfectly sculpted for the role. “Honestly, I had a hunch that it was much closer to Sejak than Seunghyeonjinin or Bokhosang.”

Yeonwi and Tanggwan Moyong looked at each other.

They all knew that Yeon Ho-jeong had excellent intuition. But since I couldn’t see it in person, it wasn’t easy to accept his words.

“Of course it’s just a hunch. “A mental belief without physical evidence is not even half as effective.”

“hmm.”

“I don’t have any physical evidence, but I deliberately asked Senior Paeyul to have a conversation with Prosecutor Cheongseong. “It was to find out various things…”

“But?”

“After the shock wave that shook the entire hotel, the bet of the windbreaker was shaken. And I got the feeling that in his betting, he had learned something other than Cheongseong’s martial arts.”

It was a series of words about feelings and intuition. Yeon Ho-jeong himself knew that what he said would not be very credible.

But the three heads of the family did not listen to him in vain.

When you reach their level, you often follow your senses rather than logic. Even Yeon Ho-jeong was a real powerhouse that no one here could beat.

“What is clear is that sooner or later, Sejak will try to kill me, you, or both.”

“…!”

“That is the only way Sejak can choose. There is a very small possibility that the seeds of doubt may be diverted to someone else.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.

“We have to force him to overdo it. If you put pressure on Sejak from now on, the murder attempts will happen faster. “Our first battle will be there.”
