Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 1019

Reclaiming History (3)

Zhuge Zhen was shocked.

Are you going to officially break the union between black and white?

“What… do you mean?”

Yeon Ho-jeong did not answer her question. I just look at Hongikcheon with deep eyes.

Hong Ik-cheon spoke again in a calm voice.

“That’s right. I joined the Murim Alliance for that purpose. Of course, as you can guess, I didn’t aim for that from the time I was first dispatched to the midfield.”

“I know that.”

“I guess so. I know the word amazing doesn’t mean anything to you, but even that is amazing. “You know exactly when to doubt and when not to.”

“Everyone has that ability. “Everyone can do as well as I can, as long as they don’t waver.”

“It doesn’t shake. “That’s what’s difficult.”

Zhuge Yan quickly intervened.

“Hojeong, what does that mean? Officially breaking up the black-white union? Really?”

This time, Yeon Ho-jeong did not answer her question.

Hong Ik-cheon said.

“If I knew from the beginning, I would have already made up my mind, and being so calm even after making up my mind would mean that I had developed my own plan to deal with it.”

“no.”

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.

“There is no such thing as a response. “I don’t even know how to deal with it.”

“….”

“I’m thinking about just appealing for recognition. “Nothing has been decided yet.”

Hong Ik-cheon looked at Yeon Ho-jeong in silence.

Even though he is blinded by an eye patch, his face is turned towards Yeon Ho-jeong as if he can see it. It seemed like I could really see it.

It was half past half hour before Hong Ik-cheon opened his mouth.

“I don’t know.”

“….”

“I realized this when I first talked to you. That I am a much more self-indulgent person than I thought. “I thought it was really hard to know what was going on.”

“is it.”

“It’s different now. Truly, I have never seen anyone as ambiguous as you. “Even the evil god wasn’t like this.”

Sasin means the leader of the Four Eums.

It’s an unforgettable title for Yeon Ho-jeong, and even if it pops up in conversation without you even realizing it, it’s something that can make you angry all day long.

However, Yeon Ho-jeong was cool-headed. After realizing the Yellow Dragon, he was able to control his excessively aggressive feelings toward the Three Religions.

“When I looked at your actions so far, I wondered if there was really anyone else who was this thorough. “No matter what kind of incident he found himself in, he was always the one to suggest a solution.”

“….”

“Of course, there may have been moments where you had to improvise because there were things that even you didn’t expect. In fact, it was even more gloomy. “What can be done and what cannot be done, what can be predicted and what cannot be done, is a big problem.”

“okay?”

“It is true that he is a great person, but if you look at it another way, he is an extremely absurd person. “Still, I thought I was getting to know you more and more, but after seeing you in person, it became more ambiguous.”

“Wouldn’t that be meaningless now? “You will die here.”

Hong Ik-cheon smiled.

“You can just look at it as the obsession of a person who has thought about such things his whole life.”

“The reason you think I’m complicated isn’t because I’m complicated.”

“I ask for your guidance.”

They even shamelessly call it teaching.

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded and said.

“It’s because you tried to analyze me.”

“How can you know a person except through analysis?”

“Empathy and understanding.”

“I do that too. “I don’t know if you believe it or not.”

“No, I’m just pretending.”

“…?”

“It takes a long time for my parents and siblings to truly understand and sympathize with me. “What can I say to a stranger I’ve never seen before?”

“But other people…”

“Of course, I am a unique person to you.”

“….”

“If you are someone who cannot analyze, all you have to do is watch, listen, understand, and sympathize. You tried to empathize with others only as much as needed. For most, that was enough. But not me.”

“….”

“It’s not because I’m unique, it’s because you are unique. “There are many people like me in the world.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Yes, you will never be able to analyze me properly because I will definitely stick with that attitude until I die.”

The smile disappeared from Hong Ik-cheon’s face.

It won’t be a bad feeling. Just look at the expression and atmosphere.

Just think about it. What does Yeonhojeong’s words mean?

In fact, I didn’t even sleep after thinking about it deeply.

There are many people who are surprised to see Yeon Ho-jeong’s unconventional strategic tactics, but there is not a single person, at least among his close friends, who does not understand his principles of action.

Yeon Ho-jeong is a person who lived his life to destroy the three religions. Therefore, his strategies and tactics reflected his life and personality.

If he had seen Yeon Ho-jeong before his return, Hong Ik-cheon would not have had much of a problem analyzing him.

However, Yeon Ho-jeong was able to re-sculpt her life, which had been filled with hatred, with God’s consideration.

I learned love from my father and shared the friendship between brothers.

Realizing how bad his blind hatred for the three religions was and how severe his hatred was, he slowly began to change himself.

That change, that growth, is what obscures Hong Ik-cheon’s vision.

Yeonhojeong was able to be Yeonhojeong because it changed and grew like that at the same time.

Hong Ik-cheon, who had been thinking quietly, soon shook his head.

“I still don’t know.”

Of course you don’t know.

Hong Ik-cheon is a person who developed reason rather than human empathy.

Some may ask what is important, but it is also a human ability to read a person’s mood just by feeling, even without thinking logically.

Hong Ik-cheon lacked such ability. It’s just that he was born with a talent that overwhelms his shortcomings.

“I understand for now. “If you have anything to ask me, I will answer with sincerity.”

Is it because I think I have already achieved my goal?

Hong Ik-cheon spoke in a much more candid tone than when he was being investigated.

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded and asked.

“Let’s make an assumption.”

“What kind of assumption do you mean?”

“Should we start from the assumption that if the main family collapsed…?”

“…?”

“My family collapsed, and I went out into the world alone and was lucky enough to meet Ki-gi and learn martial arts. “Let’s assume that with that power, you commit yourself to the Black Island and are swept away, living as a Black Islander.”

Zhuge Yan could not understand what Yeon Hao-jeong meant.

Yeon Ho-jeong spoke in a calm tone, assuming the past before returning.

The fall of the Byeoksan Yeonga The eventful life story of Yeon Ho-jeong, who committed himself to the dark island after the fall of the Kuju Myeongga.

Furthermore, he met Mukbi, Kangryang Jinyang, So Jeonggwang, and even Hong Ik-cheon.

In the fight against Yang Cheon, he killed him and built the Black Emperor Castle, as well as the process of when the invasion of the Three Religions began as time passed.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s words were calm and unhindered. As it was actually telling a story from the past, it aroused interest as if it was revealing hidden history. Even Zhuge Yan was completely absorbed in Yan Ho-jeong’s story.

“…Then, I joined forces with Tang Gwan, the vice leader of the Murim lord Moyonggun, and fought against the Saeum cult leader. “The leader of the Four Eums was dead, and the three of us were practically on the verge of death.”

“….”

“Is it exciting?”

Hong Ik-cheon did not give an easy answer.

It was not an attempt to understand Yeonhojeong’s intentions.

I knew that Yeon Ho-jeong had a certain intention, but with that in mind, I had no intention of blocking out what I couldn’t say. Because he has already completed his mission.

Yeon Ho-jeong waited patiently for his words.

How much time has passed?

“That’s vague.”

“what?”

“You and I met as colleagues and I am still under the Shinigami’s command…”

“Yes.”

Hong Ik-cheon tilted his head.

“In other words, I deceived you and became your colleague.”

“yes.”

“I guess I can only help by building a place called Black Emperor Castle. As you know, the purpose of the envoy was to disrupt the martial arts, and if he killed Yang Cheon, he would have tried to attract you, who became the leader of the Black Island, to his allies, so I would have been given such an order as well.”

Hong Ik-cheon’s analytical skills were certainly outstanding.

It was even assumed that Yeon Ho-jeong already knew that Yangcheon had contact with Saeumgyo. It may be something you can just overlook, but if you think about it, it can be said to be surprising.

“If it were me and your personality was like that… I would have cheated again in the middle and put the evil and the good in the middle.”

“Fool me one more time?”

“That’s right. In fact, by telling facts such as being from the Saeum Church.”

Hong Ik-cheon knows how much Yeon Ho-jeong hates the three religions.

However, in this ‘home’ told by Yeon Ho-jeong, Yeon Ho-jeong had no hatred toward the three religions. In other words, you can think of it as a group that can work together.

“If it were my personality, I would never have held hands.”

“That is highly likely. But you could have at least tried it. “Even if I didn’t join hands with Saeum, I don’t think you would have kicked me out.”

Of course it would have been so.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.

“There was a suicide case in Heukje Castle as well. There are three cases in total, one of which is a subordinate you cherished and were closest to.”

“….”

“There is a high probability that you planned that suicide, right?”

“When you say that, it really sounds like there was such a history.”

Hong Ik-cheon stroked his chin with both tied hands.

“Of course I would have done it. However, I don’t think it ended with just three cases.”

“….”

“And… there was no need to create subordinates who were like my hands and feet. “I wouldn’t know if that subordinate found out my secret.”

Listening to Hong Ik-cheon’s answer, Yeon Ho-jeong became convinced.

‘This guy is so lacking in emotional empathy and understanding.’

That’s what Hongikcheon is like now.

However, Hong Ik-cheon, who he met and became a colleague with in the past, was not like that.

With just this analysis and this answer, I felt like I could have almost certain faith.

Hong Ik-cheon, or rather Ham Mu-heon, had already become accustomed to the life of Heukjeseong.

It was clear that he knew empathy, realized understanding, and even accepted emotion.

That’s where Hong Ik-cheon can’t understand his past self.

At the same time, the reason Yeon Ho-jeong was able to understand that part was because he trusted his own eyes and intuition.

Ham Mu-heon came to Heukje Castle as a spy and betrayed him, but he also became one of the five great generals of Heukje Castle.

That was the reason why Ham Moo-heon did not perform noticeably. Of course, it is one of the three works of Saeumgyo.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became sharp.

“What I’m curious about here is…”

“It’s interesting to hear you say it. “Can I ask you something first?”

“Say it.”

Hong Ik-cheon continued to tilt his head and said.

“What you are saying right now is completely fiction.”

“Of course it is.”

“It’s a fairly detailed and plausible novel. “You died fighting the leader of the Four Eums?”

“That’s my end.”

“You mean he died directly from the leader of the Saeum cult?”

“I… don’t know.”

“Hmm.”

“why? Is there anything wrong with it?”

“Rather than being caught…”

Hong Ik-cheon said in a humorous voice.

“If I had hesitated after finding out about ‘empathy,’ I would have somehow accomplished my mission.”

“…?”

“It would be difficult to kill him with his own hands, so I think he was trying to encourage him to die at the hands of someone else.”

“…!!”

“This is interesting. This is the first time I realized that human analysis based on these assumptions can also be a very meaningful study.”

Hong Ik-cheon burst into laughter.

Yeon Ho-jeong couldn’t laugh.
