Episode 559Disgrace in Paradise (1)
It was past midnight and the middle of the festival hour.
The once lively streets also lost their momentum. The streets were still sparkling, but the number of people coming and going had decreased by one-tenth.
Paeyul’s eyes were infinitely deep as he stood on top of the tallest building on the street and looked down.
‘If they say they are coming, they will definitely pass through here.’
For some reason, I tried fiddling with the short spear behind my back.
The cool feel of the window pole calmed my mind.
“Is it complicated?”
Paeyul looked to the side.
Kang Ryang was cutting off a piece of beef jerky with a dagger and biting into it.
“Even though we live in different areas, a person like that ended up in the same clan. “My feelings must be complicated, too.”
“noisy.”
“Oh, don’t misunderstand. “I didn’t mean to make you feel bad.”
Kang Ryang smiled bitterly.
“If a traitor appears in the sect in any way, I feel very confused.”
“….”
“At least ARMY is fortunate. “Because I knew about the existence of the traitor before it collapsed.”
Paeyul asked as if he was throwing a question.
“Are you still looking for a traitor?”
“I have to find it. But not now.”
“Wasn’t it Yang Cheon who destroyed Guicheol Gate?”
“To be exact, it is the power of the Mukryongbu that received orders from Yang Cheon.”
“That’s it.”
“you’re right. That’s it. So I’m worried. “How far will I extend my revenge?”
Suddenly, I thought that the loss rate was really strong.
Contrary to his usual words and actions, he was a man with deep thoughts. When Gangryang lost his clan, he lost his parents and all the prosecutors who were like brothers.
I have never experienced such a bloody and painful experience.
‘What would it be like if it were me?’
What if Jeomchang collapsed at the hands of Yang Cheon? And what if I survived alone?
There is nothing to see. Without caring for his life, he would have marched straight into the Mukryongbu and cut off the heads of every black man he could see.
Revenge is an act in which it is difficult to question efficiency. How can you maintain your composure when someone who was like a family member died at the hands of a villain?
He probably never even thought about increasing his strength. They would have advanced as is, and Yang Chen would have died before they could even see his face.
In that respect, Kang Ryang was a really great guy.
‘I’m sure this guy’s personality is such that he held back until now because he absolutely values his life.’
I always criticize him, but this guy is real.
It was amazing that he was able to suppress his extreme emotions at every moment, but what was even more amazing was that he did not take any hasty action even though he was in the arms of his enemy, Yang Cheon.
He didn’t look like a young man with a lot of energy who wasn’t even in his mid-twenties. When you look at your personality, it probably wasn’t something you were born with, so you must have been constantly reflecting on yourself and suppressing it again and again.
“The traitor from Guicheolgeommun would have caught up with Yang Cheon. “We can’t cut off Yang Chen’s head right now, but wouldn’t we be able to at least blow off that traitor’s head?”
“I can’t do that.”
“why? “I think Yangcheon would understand that much, right?”
“You won’t understand. Even if you understand, there are no more traitors in Honam.”
“How do you know?”
“Yangcheon told me.”
Paeyul shook his head.
“Really, I don’t even know about your relationship with that guy.”
“It’s nothing complicated. They are just enemies. However, I am trying to drive a knife into the heart of that enemy, and he is just pretending that nothing is wrong to protect his high pride.”
“How did the traitor disappear? “Wasn’t there a price to pay for betraying your clan?”
“That’s naive.”
“hmm?”
“I was in a situation where my life was threatened before I received any compensation. “I didn’t betray myself to gain something, but I betrayed myself to survive.”
“….”
At that moment, Paeyul was speechless.
Although he had a lot of experience as a powerhouse, there were areas that were difficult to understand even if he often saw and heard about it.
One of them was the ones who betrayed their clan out of fear for their lives.
If there had been some benefit, I would have understood it with reason, even though it was equally unpleasant. Because human greed is endless.
But you betrayed your clan simply because you didn’t want to die?
‘That’s terrible.’
Even if you continue your life like that, what value is there in it?
Will the renegade be free from the burden of his betrayal?
“You abandoned the life of a human being and chose the life of an animal.”
“well.”
“Are you saying no?”
Kang-ryang chuckled.
“Because each person has a different way of living. “Some noble people may think such an act is horrifyingly cruel, but others may think it is a natural way to survive.”
Paeyul’s eyes deepened.
“How about you?”
“It’s a meaningless question.”
“Why?”
“Regardless of how you view such behavior, he is someone I must kill. I am neither a noble person nor a person who takes the life of an animal for granted. “I am just a prosecutor who lost his family and clan at the hands of his enemies.”
“….”
“I don’t want to attach noble values or unnecessary hate to it. “It’s an impurity.”
Kang Ryang put the dagger in his bosom.
“I will take revenge. “That’s it.”
I thought about the loss rate. This guy is already an adult.
In this respect, he seemed more mature than he had been since he had lived for over forty years. Well, I don’t have that experience and I shouldn’t have.
Paeyul, who was quietly watching Kangryang, said a word and turned his head.
“Be sure to succeed.”
“Of course. Until then, I will never die.”
Kang Ryang looked at Paeyul’s short spear.
“Anyway, it seems like that javelin is gradually turning into a monster.”
“hmm?”
“The smell of blood is coming from the window itself? “I don’t think it’s an item suitable for the hands of someone from the old faction, which is said to be the pinnacle of the martial arts faction.”
Paeyul tilted his head.
“You smell blood?”
“It just feels like that. “I guess you don’t feel that way, do you?”
“I don’t know. “I am a dull person.”
Kang-ryang smiled.
Paeyul was a rough but honest man. And he was not a person who took undue pride in his position or lied because of his pride.
Even though it’s in front of a junior, they say they don’t know what they don’t know. Because it was true.
I thought about it before, but I now understand why Yeon Ho-jeong, who is picky about people, always treats Pae-yul like a senior.
“Stop chatting. “The time that Yeon Ho-jeong said is coming.”
“Well, even if you are my brother, wouldn’t it be difficult to predict at what time the enemy will move?”
“yes. It’s difficult. But wasn’t he the one who steadily accomplished that difficult task?”
“It’s scarier because it’s not wrong.”
“He was the one who personally defeated those experts. “He probably controlled the waking time himself.”
Paeyul looked up at the sky.
Clouds were gathering not far away.
“We will soon notice unusual movements.”
What Paeyul said was true.
After a while.
“…?!”
Kang Ryang’s eyes became fierce as he scanned the left and right sides of the street.
“senior.”
“felt.”
“…I think these bastards have a plan?”
“Elder-level figures from the Four Rivers and Three Powers suffered. Even from the point of view of those idiots, there is no way they would send half-baked troops.”
Paeyul frowned.
“But even considering that, it’s too much.”
There were people approaching secretly from the left and right of the large building in the distance, covering the street.
They crossed the street with little momentum, but Paeyul and Kang Ryang, who knew they were coming in the first place, could clearly see how big the number was and how great their force was.
“About 150 people… I think about 100 of them were assassins…”
Kang Ryang’s face was filled with disbelief.
“driving me crazy. Does this make sense? The helplessness felt by the remaining fifty people is enormous. His strength is comparable to that of his seniors. The rest can also be said to be of elder level.”
Although there is a large difference in force, if he is to be called the elder level of the Nine Great Moon Sect in the first place, he should be at a level that is not far from the limit of martial arts.
Of the 50 masters, excluding 100 out of 150, nearly 40 were at that level. The rest had at least a loss rate.
At least that was the feeling of momentum and presence.
Kang Ryang’s eyes were bloodshot.
“You mean these bastards have rotted that much? They boasted that they were the leaders of Sichuan’s sect, but completely…”
“No, it’s not that bad.”
“yes?”
Paeyul followed behind the assassins and looked at the experts who were slowly covering the street.
“All of those fifty masters have learned the martial arts of the Cheongseong Army Dangga.” Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“That’s right. “If that many people are traitors…”
“But there aren’t many people who belong to those three schools.”
“What do you mean?”
“….”
“…no way?”
“I’m not sure. The distance is too far. But…”
Paeyul’s face distorted.
“The sect’s unique color is light. “Even though they are not part of a sect, it seems like most of them have learned the martial arts of that sect.”
The meaning of those words was clear.
This meant that renegades had been training masters for a long time by leaking the martial arts skills of their school.
“crazy! Does that make sense?”
“I don’t know.”
“It takes a long time to make even one peak cilantro. “Even if we select talented people and pour in various support, it will take at least ten years.”
“If their true identity is not from a sect, it means that the renegades have been dreaming of rebellion for at least ten years.”
“…!!”
Paeyul turned around.
“Now is not the time to speculate about their past. “Let’s go first.”
“That’s what I said.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was particularly serious after hearing Paeyul and Kang Ryang’s report.
Hwang Seok-tae said as if throwing something out.
“If that’s true, Sichuan has already rotted to its core.”
It had festered to this point without anyone knowing.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“It doesn’t matter what kind of past they have. “What’s important now is that the size of the troops they dispatched is this large.”
“….”
“And the fact is that a large number of troops are targeting us.”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“Paradise conch… these are really not ordinary.”
Kang Ryang asked.
“I wanted to ask you earlier, but what exactly is a paradise cow?”
Hwang Seok-tae sighed.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“Let’s talk about the details later. “Now we have to stop them first.”
“Stop it? That kind of army? “Do you think it would be better to just step out?”
“Anyway, we have to uproot the paradise cow. Wouldn’t it be better to at least relax a little now rather than deal with them all later?”
“Words are good. I heard that a transcendental master is over ten? There are people in their 40s who do that level. “There are up to 100 assassins there, and even if we win, there will be casualties on our side.”
“Isn’t that why you settled here?”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked around.
It was like a trench with a steep slope halfway up the hill. It was perfect for a temporary defensive battle.
Yeon Ho-jeong took out the Gyoryongsae.
Chiri riri ring!
An eerie energy flowed from the dragon chain held tightly in both hands.
“Have confidence. Let’s bury it all and let’s go.”
