Tangmunjeon Episode 392

Liver

When Seon Na-seung fell down helplessly and stopped moving, Namgung Jin-cheon’s eyebrows twitched.

“···what?”

The emotion in Namgung Jincheon’s voice was not joy or the ecstasy of victory, but confusion.

Well, that was understandable. Seon Na-seung’s death was so sudden, and the process itself wasn’t dynamic. To Namgung Jin-cheon, it might have seemed like Seon Na-seung had died suddenly.

But Hyun-gong could easily guess what had happened.

“This kid has used a trick.”

“Yes. It was all according to plan. Naturally, I dug a trap by exposing my weaknesses and exploiting the weaknesses of my opponents who got caught up in it. I feel bad for Seon Na-seung, but with that level of skill, I can’t even get hold of the wheel.”

As Dang Mu-jin started to fuss, Namgung Jin-cheon finally understood the situation.

“It was a poisonous attack. The compatibility was extremely good. But even so, the power…”

Namgung Jincheon thought for a moment and then spoke again.

“If you can inject a poison that can kill a monk instantly without any special preparation, it means that the leader of the party can withstand that level of poison without any problems.”

“Yes.”

“That friend Lee Chung, it seems that his insight into disciples was much better than I thought. He has already made his young disciple surpass his master’s achievements.”

Dang Mu-jin liked being praised, but he liked seeing other people acknowledging Yi-chung even more. It wasn’t a common thing.

“Because my master raised my achievements to his level in a short period of time, the achievements I gained afterwards could be completely beyond that.”

“Wonderful. Wonderful. I wish I could have taught Ming like that…”

Namgung Jincheon let out a light sigh and looked back.

There were two disciples of Seonna Seung who had suddenly lost their master. Dang Mujin thought for a moment about what to do with the two, but Hyungong did not.

Hyungong approached the two disciples of Seonna Seung. The two disciples were unable to attack Hyungong rashly, and instead looked at him with a slightly nervous look.

Hyun-gong slowly wiggled his left fingers while holding the sword in his right hand. It was the most powerful martial art he had learned, the preparatory stance of Daejong Yeo-ha.

But the disciples of Suna Seung did not know the meaning of that action.

Within moments, Hyun-gong’s sword, swung like lightning, drew an unavoidable trajectory. At the same time, the head of one of Seon-na-seung’s two disciples flew into the air.

“···!”

A spread of grass without asking any questions.

The last surviving disciple of Seonnasung tried to guess his future and escape, but it was impossible.

As Namgung Jincheon approached and swung his sword, another head that had lost its owner appeared.

Namgung Jincheon shook his sword once, shaking off the drops of blood on it and said.

“When we’re done, let’s talk some more.”

And he walked towards the Kunlun Mountain Taoists whose fighting was not yet completely over.

Since it was clear that the fight would end wherever Namgung Jincheon set foot, there was no reason for Tang Wujin and Hyeon Gong to come forward and help the Kunlun Mountain Taoists.

Dang Mu-jin said to Hyeon-gong.

“I don’t know about Elder Namgung Jincheon, but I didn’t know that you, Hyeon-gong, would kill Seon-na-seung’s disciple without warning.”

Hyun-gong answered.

“They belong to the Demonic Cult. We can kill them, but there’s no use for them. That’s why we’re killing them.”

Dang Mu-jin thought that Hyun-gong’s personality had changed a little.

I thought that if it had been the Hyungong of a year ago, he would not have killed Seonna Seung’s disciples so easily. Even if he had killed them, he would have at least talked to them before making a decision.

However, people cannot remain the same forever. Just as Dang Mu-jin changed little by little, Hyun-gong could not stay in the same place forever.

As Dang Mu-jin let out a faint sigh, Hyun-gong spoke to Dang Mu-jin.

“Are you feeling okay?”

“I did absorb quite a bit of my internal energy, but… it’s okay. It’s not enough to cause any major problems with my movements.”

“Then it’s okay. Let’s go.”

“Where?”

Hyun-gong nodded to the west. It was the direction that Gwang-yeom-ra had taken the unconscious Left Guardian Law and left.

Since the fight between Dang Mujin and Seon Na Seung ended quickly, Gwangyeomra was not given enough time to escape. Also, since he had to move with the unconscious Zuo Ho Beop, it is clear that he would not have been able to escape far.

In order to make matters worse, Gwangyeomra left behind a lot of traces as he hurriedly escaped. Even with Dangmujin and Hyungong’s poor tracking skills, they were able to follow him without much difficulty.

“Are you going to fight?”

Hyun-gong shook his head at Dang Mu-jin’s question.

“No. I don’t think we have to kill them. They’re members of the Demonic Cult, but it’s hard to kill them, and there’s still room for them to be useful. Even just talking to them would be helpful.”

“I get it.”

Dang Mu-jin and Hyeon-gong sent a message to Namgung Jin-cheon and then ran toward the west.

*

In less than an hour, Dang Mujin and Hyungong were able to catch up with Guang Yanla and Zuo Hu Fa.

The left guard was sitting on a flat rock, holding his chin, which had been hit by the light flame, and no matter how you looked at him, he looked a little angry.

Dang Mu-jin whispered to Hyun-gong.

“I guess you felt wronged that Gwangyeomra knocked you out?”

“It seems so. Let’s first hear what they’re talking about.”

Dang Mu-jin and Hyeon-gong hid behind the bushes and focused their internal energy on their ears.

“···Stop dawdling and go right now. Right now!”

“Left-handed. Stop talking nonsense.”

“Hey, Guangyeomra. People should be faithful. If you receive a favor, you should know how to repay it. If I hadn’t received your help, you know what would have happened to my leg right now. It would have been severed at the shin. I might have even died.”

The left-wing law seemed to be concerned that he had left the scene without helping the party. Hyun-gong whispered in a playful voice.

“That bastard Dang Mu-jin was in cahoots with the Demonic Cult members. I knew it.”

“Stop talking nonsense and just listen.”

At that time, Gwangyeomra seemed frustrated and got angry.

“You know exactly what kind of trouble you’ll be in if you go back. Let’s say we join forces and kill Seon Na-seung. We’ll be the next target.”

Dang Mu-jin nodded and thought.

As expected, Gwangyeomra’s head works better than the left-handed one.

The story of Gwangyeomra continued.

“It will take time for your legs to fully recover. You and I, who can’t even walk properly and are limping. Do you think the two of us can take on three people? If we’re lucky, we might be able to win somehow. But the damage will be severe. In particular, the head of the party and Jeong-eon, those guys are really dangerous. You know from what you’ve experienced.”

But the left-wing law shook its head.

“no.”

“what?”

“You wouldn’t be after us. If you were, you wouldn’t have saved me.”

Dang Mu-jin was inwardly amazed. Who knew the left-wing method could be this pure!

Of course, since Gwangyeomra was not as pure as the Zuohu method, I couldn’t overcome my frustration and pounded my chest.

“Oh my, you little brat! Do you think those guys helped you because you’re pretty? They were trying to bribe us while we were fighting with Seon-na-seung!”

“···But it’s true that I received help! I told you that I would repay the favor.”

“If you think about it that way, don’t you think the leader is your benefactor? If you think about it, isn’t the leader’s favor greater?”

“I know. I know. That’s why I’m still following you···”

After those words, the conversation was cut off for a moment. As if they had made a promise, Dang Mu-jin and Hyeon-gong simultaneously appeared and shouted.

“hey!”

The left-wing law and the light-hearted law looked at Dangmujin and Hyeon-gong in surprise.

Although Gwangyeom drew his sword, Joahobeop secretly looked pleased. However, the distance between them was too far to feel threatening.

“Did you survive?”

When the left-wing lawmaker asked loudly, Dang Mu-jin answered.

“You could have just survived, right? You got rid of it.”

“You’ve already defeated Seon Na-seung?”

“It wasn’t difficult. I wasn’t hurt anywhere.”

“That’s amazing!”

Even though the party of Dang Mu-jin had killed his own people, Jo Ho-beop was truly happy.

In fact, from the moment when the left-wing law was deceived by Dangmujin’s whispers, the two men and Seonna Seung may not have been on the same side.

‘···Those kids, don’t you know that you were tricked by me?’

Dang Mu-jin’s heart fluttered a little.

I had a feeling that I might be able to use a voice similar to that of Kwangyeomra again someday.

Kwangyeomra interrupted the story of the left-wing law and asked in a tone full of reluctance.

“Why did you come here?”

“This is fate, I came here to talk.”

The answer came back from Hyun-gong.

Gwangyeomra’s eyes wavered. He seemed to be uncomfortable with the situation of talking to Hyungong.

“Don’t worry. I’m not trying to talk about anything serious.”

“What are you curious about?”

“Your safety.”

“···what?”

“If you guys go back to the Demonic Cult like this, won’t there be problems?”

Gwangyeomra shook his head.

“If it were another time, I might have been reprimanded. But this time, the leader will understand. He knows that Seon Na-seung is a very self-willed author.”

“Well, even I think he was a strange author.”

Kwangyeomra’s expression relaxed a little. It seemed that he was glad that they were exchanging trivial words.

The left-wing lawmaker shouted with a raised voice.

“You guys! How about joining the Demonic Cult? The winner of the Demonic Cult will be the Demonic Cult.”

Dang Mu-jin thought that Hyun-gong might get angry. However, Hyun-gong’s tone was calm.

“That’s hard. How can I change sides so easily when I have a role to play?”

“That’s too bad.”

The left-hander looked genuinely disappointed, his eyes filled with regret.

“If you change your mind, tell me anytime. If you mention the name of the Left Guardian, Yeon Sa-wook, the Demonic Cult members will not listen to you lightly. Even if the Demonic Cult wins, I will do my best to save your lives.”

“I will gratefully accept your kindness. And I hope this is an opportunity to let go of any ill feelings. We just belong to different places, and there is no personal grudge.”

It seemed like Gwangyeomra had a lot to say, but Joahobap answered quickly without hesitation.

“Of course! I took it all out!”

This time, the answer belongs to Dang Mu-jin. Dang Mu-jin shouted loudly.

“Now that you’ve gotten rid of the bad relationships, it’s time to build good relationships. Take this!”

As he spoke, Dang Mu-jin picked up a black lump about half the size of his palm and threw it away.

The black mass flew through the air, holding the mysterious power of the empty space, and landed in the grasp of the left guardian.

The lump had a bitter, medicinal smell and felt slightly sticky.

Kwangyeomra showed an overtly wary look.

“What is this?”

“It’s a salve. It will help if you put it on a wound, and it will also be effective if you break off a corner, mix it in warm water, and drink it.”

“I know that. What I’m asking is, what is your ulterior motive?”

“My nickname is Yi-ryong. I am the best doctor in the world, and I am the head of the Tang family, the best doctor in the world. Why would a doctor treat patients?”

The left-wing law was so moved that his voice seemed moist.

“Thank you! I will repay your kindness someday!”

Hyun-gong answered with a kind and harmless smile.

“Yes. Even though our relationship started off badly, let’s not forget that we fought together against the Seonnasung. Since we joined hands over a common enemy, can’t we be considered comrades to some extent? I wonder if the gods of heaven and earth deliberately arranged this fate.”

Of course, Hyun-gong’s story about fighting Seon-na-seung together was clearly a fabrication. The Gwang-yeom-ra and Dang-mu-jin groups never once attacked Seon-na-seung together.

However, because the results were similar and the atmosphere was so warm, even Kwangyeomra didn’t notice the fact right away.

The left-wing law cried out.

“Did I help you?”

“Of course. Thanks to you, Dang Mu-jin was able to find a clue and defeat Seon Na-seung, so you can say that we fought together. The person who achieved the greatest feat may not be Dang Mu-jin, but you.”

The age difference between Zuo Huo Beop and Hyeon Gong is about twenty years. However, Hyeon Gong naturally called Zuo Huo Beop ‘you’.

What’s even more bizarre is that the term felt quite natural.

As Hyun-gong spoke, he turned his eyes and glanced at Dang Mu-jin.

And Dang Mu-jin instinctively realized what story to bring up in this situation.

“As we talk, we realize how foolish and narrow-minded we have been until now. Kwangyeomra!”

When his nickname was suddenly called, Gwangyeomra was slightly startled and came to his senses.

“Why are you calling me?”

“Did you ever hold a grudge against me when I was staying in the Demonic Cult a few years ago?”

“No. I just heard a rumor that a member of the National Assembly brought from the Central Plains is staying in the Magic Cave.”

“It’s the same for me. I’ve only seen your face once or twice. We’ve never talked. Can I ask you one more question?”

“Tell me.”

Gwangyeomra answered. And Dangmujin and Hyeon-gong felt at the same time. The wariness in Gwangyeomra’s voice had eased a little.

“Since then, have we ever fought even once out of personal grudge?”

Kwangyeomra and the Left Guardian Law thought deeply.

And it didn’t take long for me to conclude that it had never happened.

They have always been in conflict as members of the Demonic Cult and the Orthodox Cult.

“Yes. It wasn’t the Demonic Cult and the Jeongpaji, you and us, who were in conflict and harbored resentment. Is there any reason for us to harbor resentment among ourselves and attack each other to kill?”

Gwangyeomra had a suspicious look on his face. However, Joahobeop seemed greatly shocked. It seemed like he had never thought of such things before.

The left-wing law, swept up in the atmosphere, shouted on behalf of Gwangyeomra.

“···There is none! There is no such thing!”

“Yes. It’s fortunate that the misunderstanding has been resolved at least now. Even in a battlefield where blood and sweat are shed, a single wild flower blooms. Even if the demonic and orthodox warriors swing their swords and shed blood, let’s not forget that we fought together against the same enemy.”

Simply put, it means that even if the political and evil factions fight, they should maintain an implicit alliance.

If you look at such a relationship from the perspective of another demonic cult member, it would be a betrayal. However, Dang Mu-jin and Hyun-gong succeeded in packaging it in a moderately beautiful and warm way.

Finally, Hyun-gong threw a tempting bait.

“You said that the Demonic Cult would win the Battle of Jeongma. But I believe that the Jeongpa will win. And when the Jeongpa wins, then we will try to save your lives. Left Guardian Yeon Sa-wook, we will return the favor you have shown us.”

This was a story that was quite appealing to Gwangyeomra as well.

However, the expression ‘I will try my best’ does not guarantee results. It is a rhetorical expression that implies ‘the possibility that the desired results will not come out.’

However, Gwangyeomra and the Left Guardian Law did not realize that fact.

Kwangyeomra shouted in a mumbled voice.

“First of all… I understand. But you guys, you must have come here with some hidden agenda. Tell me honestly what your purpose is. I will consider it positively right now. I can’t guarantee that I will listen to everything, but…”

It was a voice that clearly had softened its hostility. Dang Mu-jin shook his head and answered.

“Any other purpose? None.”

“No way. Honestly.”

“I’ve broken off bad ties and made friends through conversation, but do I need something more than that?”

As Dang Mujin spoke, he looked at Zuo Huo Beop and Gwang Yeom Ra with clear eyes. Hyun Gong’s gaze was not much different.

Gwangyeomra and Joahobeop paused for a moment, then nodded and turned around, speaking.

“···Okay. I don’t need anything more than that.”

That was the end of the conversation. The four of them parted ways without any fight.

And Dang Mu-jin and Hyeon-gong smiled similarly.

People who are difficult to kill, but have plenty of usable potential.

Dang Mu-jin and Hyeon-gong created two potential spies in the high ranks of the Demonic Cult.
