Episode 963: There are two choices.
Among those present, only Mok Cheong-hwan knew about the past between Yong-jin and Yuk Myeong-han.
Yongjin once cut off Yuk Myeong-han’s skull from Dong-hwang.
Of course, this was just a mistake by Yuk Myeong-han, and Yong-jin took the opportunity. It was not true that Yong-jin had the strength to fight a king-level strongman.
However, the people on the scene did not know this fact and were surprised by Yongjin’s words that he had cut off Yuk Myeong-han’s skull. At the same time, they began to wonder what kind of monster Yongjin was.
At first, people doubted Yongjin’s words, but after seeing Yuk Myeonghan’s angry expression, they realized that Yongjin’s words were likely true.
For a moment, everyone’s hearts pounded.
“Yongjin, do you want to die?”
Yuk Myeong-han was so angry that his hair stood on end and his murderous intent grew stronger.
“I don’t know if I want to die, but I know you do. I’ve cut you once, so I can cut you twice. And I promise you, the next time I cut you, I’ll never give you a chance to regrow your head.”
Yongjin said, shaking his head deliberately.
Originally, Yongjin did not want to make Yuk Myeonghan angry. Such an action was completely unwise. However, Dong-Hwang remembered that the bastard had tried to violently search his soul because of his greed. Yongjin was once again furious at the fact that all his secrets were almost revealed.
If he had enough skill, Yongjin could have attacked him, killed him, and escaped from the Hyeoncheon Dojong. But he was too weak right now. So he had to endure it, but he did not intend to miss the opportunity to humiliate Yuk Myeonghan.
Everyone was shocked and held their breath at Yongjin’s words. Now their guess was confirmed.
Yongjin actually cut off the head of a king-level strongman.
Only then did those who tried to change the test results become afraid of Yongjin.
They realized how childish their thinking was.
What would Yongjin, who cut off the head of a king-level strongman, not dare to do?
When they thought about this, they felt how lucky they were to be alive.
Eom Mak-jin, Geum Ji-hae, and Han Woon-san’s expressions also changed. They didn’t know that Yong-jin had such a scary past.
In particular, Han Woon-san and Wi Geum-hae were the people who had fought against Yong Jin. No, they didn’t fight against him, but as soon as they touched him, he slapped them. It was difficult to see this as a fight.
They knew that Yongjin was strong, but they were surprised that he was strong enough to fight against a king-level powerhouse. Fear was clearly visible in their eyes.
“You are so bold and arrogant. You killed an innocent man, so you should come with us to the law enforcement office and be punished.”
Yuk Myung-han’s face turned red with anger. Another man who came with him swung the chain he was holding at Yong-jin. The moment the chain left the air and flew like lightning, a terrifying pressure solidified the space, making everyone unable to move.
An irresistible force. This was the pressure of a king-level strongman. It felt as if an invisible large hand was holding them tightly. It was a very scary experience to know that one person’s pressure could turn them into dust.
What people were even more surprised about was that the chain of the king-level strongman was aimed directly at Yongjin. Yongjin was the one who was receiving the full pressure. What they were experiencing was just the aftereffects.
The chains filled the heavens and the earth, and had strange and inescapable laws.
As Yongjin prepared to fight with all his might, even though he knew he could not resist, a large hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the chain.
“I don’t think the evaluation of disciples is something that the executive branch should be involved in.”
An old man stood in front of Yongjin and spoke indifferently.
“Lee Jang-pung.”
Yuk Myeong-han gritted his teeth. That person was none other than Lee Jang-pung. He had been suppressed by Lee Jang-pung before, and because of that, his heart was filled with anger. However, since all the evidence proved that he was the first to be wronged, he had to swallow his resentment.
As Jangpung Lee swung his hand, the chain flew backwards. The person who threw the chain suddenly felt a great force being transmitted to him, and his body was pushed backwards.
The strong man in the law enforcement office, holding a chain in his hand, spoke coldly.
“The elders are responsible for evaluating disciples, but now that someone has broken the rules and killed an innocent person, it is time for our law enforcement agency to take charge, beyond the elders’ authority. Whoever killed someone with a dragon spear and arrow today will definitely be taken away by us.”
Yongjin was in a complicated situation wherever he went. Yongjin looked at Yuk Myeong-han, who was gritting his teeth, and the other guy and sneered.
The joy of arriving at Jungju disappeared in an instant. To Yongjin, Jungju was an even more brutal battlefield, and Hyeoncheondojong was probably only the beginning.
“Breaking the rules? Are you saying he killed an innocent person? Yongjin didn’t break the rules, he maintained them. When Cheonghwon couldn’t control the situation, Yongjin stepped in to avoid the conflict and prevent a bigger accident. So Yongjin’s actions were not wrong in any way. And you said he killed an innocent person indiscriminately? How can you say he was innocent?
They were eliminated and became resentful. In that situation, they tried to destroy the reputation of our Hyeoncheon Dojong. Are you saying that this is innocent? The inspection is an opportunity for Hyeoncheon Dojong to supplement fresh talent. This is the foundation for Hyeoncheon Dojong to prosper for a long time. So are you saying that the person who is trying to destroy the foundation of Hyeoncheon Dojong is innocent now?”
Lee Jang-pung spoke calmly. His words and actions were very plain, but they were full of sharpness, and because of that, the person was speechless. Lee Jang-pung’s speech was quite sharp.
“Even so… Yongjin can’t kill people at will. He doesn’t have that kind of power. If everyone were like him, wouldn’t the Hyeoncheon Dojong be in chaos? Who would follow the rules? Then what use would our law book be?”
The man strongly objected.
“You said he killed without permission? No, this was not without permission, but he responded appropriately to the situation. He had no choice but to use iron-clad means to protect the interests of the clan. This required great courage and determination. The Wonju Daein said that Yongjin’s actions deserved to be rewarded. If we punish him instead of rewarding him for protecting the interests of the clan, people’s hearts will grow cold.”
Lee Jang-pung said.
“You guys… you guys are turning the tables on logic right now.”
The man said angrily, “This is too much of a pushover, to justify murder.”
“Please stop. Our elders can handle this on their own. You don’t need to worry about it before the execution. If you don’t like the elders’ actions, you can complain to the supervisor of the Hyuncheontap Tower instead of shouting here and damaging the image of the Dojo. So you can leave now. Please do not interfere with the inspection process or we will file a complaint.”
Lee Jang-pung said in a cold voice.
He tried to chase the two people away like he was chasing a dog.
In fact, the appearance of Jang-pung Lee was ordered by the Wonju Dae-in. The Wonju Dae-in was dissatisfied with the fact that the law enforcement had crossed the line this time. So he decided not to tolerate it any longer and sent Jang-pung Lee to deal with it.
“Okay, okay, okay, Lee Jang-poong, you wait a moment. And Yong-jin, you wait too. Pray that you fall into my hands. If not… hehe.”
Yuk Myeong-han looked at Yong-jin with cold eyes and threatened him.
Yongjin smiled and said indifferently.
“Get out of here. You have no dignity right now, and you are only showing how foolish and cunning you are. For an elder to act so narrow-mindedly and intolerably, threatening a disciple for personal gain, you are truly a piece of trash.
I wonder what kind of place the law enforcement office is that can raise such violent and selfish idiots as you. If these people are in charge of law enforcement, it’s hard to believe that they won’t frame people for their own selfish desires. Do you think they can enforce the law fairly and strictly?”
Yongjin’s words were like giving Yuk Myeong-han and the law enforcement elders a hard slap in the face.
“Yongjin, let’s see what happens to us in the future.”
Yuk Myeong-han gritted his teeth and left with the law enforcement elder.
After the two people left, Jangpung Lee looked at everyone once and then gave his last glance to Yongjin. He said.
“Keep your distance.”
“Thank you for your advice, elder.”
Yongjin gave a brief greeting to Jangpung. He knew Jangpung’s intentions. He told Yongjin not to cross the line.
If he doesn’t overstep, the elders can protect him, but once he oversteps, the law enforcement agency will catch him and create evidence to cause trouble.
Yongjin realized one more thing. He was being used as a bullet. It was clear that the law enforcement and the elders were competing for power, and Yongjin had become the elders’ weapon.
But Yongjin didn’t care.
The most important thing is to choose where to rely on. Since he and Yukmyeonghan were complete enemies and could not coexist like water and fire, the Elder’s Garden was the best choice for him.
Moreover, looking at the personalities of Lee Jang-pung and Yuk Myeong-han, Yong-jin could almost judge the atmosphere of the two forces. While the Jangrowon was harmonious, the Haeng-haengjeon was the complete opposite, full of fierce energy.
“The evaluation continues. Anyone who behaves rudely again will be executed.”
Jang Poong Lee left a word behind and disappeared from the people’s sight.
The disciples who had been eliminated were silent, completely frozen, and realized how foolish their actions had been.
At that moment, Mok Cheong-hwan came out and shouted loudly.
“Disciples who have fallen, you have two choices. One is to return to your original sect, and the other is to remain in the Hyeoncheon Dojong sect.”
“Can we remain in Hyeoncheondojong?”
Everyone was very happy.
“That’s possible. However, if you stay, you won’t have the status and benefits of a disciple. You’ll have to do odd jobs to earn resources for training. The downside is that your resources are limited, and your growth is very limited. That’s why it’s better to return to your original clan and become the Earth Emperor. The upside is that if you’re in the middle of the lineage, anything is possible. It depends on where you want to place your bets.
Well, someone will be coming to greet you soon. Whether you stay here or go back, it is up to you to decide. Fate is in your hands.”
Many people were anxious about Mok Cheong-hwan’s words. Those who were well off did not want to stay here and do odd jobs. It was too embarrassing for them, and they thought it would be better to go back and live proudly.
However, people with ordinary conditions wanted to stay here. They showed their will to become the tail of the dragon rather than the head of the chicken. The important thing was that even if they returned, they could not become the head of the chicken.
“Now, those of you who have passed the initiation, please follow me. Welcome to the Hyeoncheon Dojong.”
As the giant stone door slowly opened, a sound that shook my ears was heard, and an extremely strong spirit energy surged forth.
