Episode 688: A Battle Between Yourself and Yourself

Su Mu-heun said with a faint smile.

“It’s all thanks to the support of our Lord. Without his generous support, they would not have been able to grow so quickly.”

Su Mu-heun sneered inwardly. I don’t know why this old fox suddenly became so stupid. Isn’t this just like showing off your face and asking to be hit?

“Haha, any talented disciple of the Star Monastery shouldn’t bury his talent. However, I’ve heard that they are all called the Dragon Blood Corps. They serve Yongjin as their master, right? They eat the food of the Hyeoncheon Dojong, drink the food of the Hyeoncheon Dojong, and enjoy the welfare of the Hyeoncheon Dojong, but they form a private force to satisfy their selfish desires. Isn’t this way of cultivating one’s own power a bit excessive?”

Joo Cheon-ui laughed and said something meaningful.

Su Mu-heun’s face changed. Ju Cheon-yi was indeed an old fox. Every word he said was a trap, and he had intentionally brought it up to cause trouble in front of the vice-minister.

According to logic, all disciples of the Hyeoncheon Dojong had to follow the Hyeoncheon Dojong’s orders. Since they were not allowed to form private forces, it was difficult for Su Mu-heun to answer.

At that moment, the deputy chief suddenly spoke in a cold voice.

“I clearly told you that the older generation should not interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. Have you forgotten already, Jucheon?”

When the Vice-Minister of Finance spoke with a dark expression, Jucheon-yi couldn’t refute him.

“You’re saying that you’re forming a group to seek personal gain? The four major clans, Su, Ju, Gok, and Wang, each govern nine branches. Isn’t this also forming a party to seek personal gain? I could even petition the head of the clan to have you disbanded. Do you want that?”

The deputy chief spoke in a cold, settled voice.

“That, that is……”

Jucheon’s eyes widened in confusion. He couldn’t understand why the Vice-Minister of the Interior didn’t save face today.

“Have I ever told you anything about the feuds between your four great clans? Do you think I am a fool and just sit by and watch you do whatever you want? Competition is one of the important factors in the development of a sect. However, not all competition can be positive. Therefore, as long as the competition between you does not harm the development of the Hyeoncheon Dojong, no one cares.

However, Zhou Tian, ​​you know very well what you have done. Although that incident has passed, not everything has been erased. If you ever deliberately try to hinder the development of a genius again, I will be the first to draw my sword against the Zhou family. Do you understand?”

Jucheon’s heart sank at Bujongju’s last words.

The other heads of households, who had thought they were completely unaware of the competition between them, also felt a pang in their hearts.

The fact is that the Vice-Chief Master knew better than they did. He just pretended not to know because he was too lazy to get involved. However, if he really wanted to do something that would harm the Hyeoncheon Dojong, he would raise his sword and mercilessly cut it off.

Su Mu-heun was touched that her father-in-law, Bu Jong-ju, was protecting her even more today. At the same time, she realized that in order for a person to have a voice, he must have ability.

The reason why the Vice-Chief of the Household suddenly began to protect her was probably because he sensed a change in her. Since he was a strong man, he could sense that she had seized her opportunity.

This is the importance of skill. The strong man, Joo Tae-kyung, was much more valuable than the managers of the fountain.

The manager can be replaced by someone else at any time, but it wasn’t Joo Tae-kyung who was strong.

But people have forgotten their own duties, calculating and fighting over how to suppress each other until they go to sleep.

To Muin, anything other than practice was not his main job. In the face of absolute power, any strategy would be a waste.

“Yongjin will be arriving at the red zone soon. He’s really fast.”

One of the Su family’s elders spoke softly.

Only then did the crowd look ahead. While they were talking, Yongjin was already leading people to the edge of the blue zone. The red zone was right in front of them.

So far, the most outstanding players have entered the blue zone, but only the best have entered the red zone.

The rest, whether high-quality or strong, were all rejected from the red zone.

Some refused to surrender and tried to force their way in, but they were shaken by the terrifying tide and fell to the edge like meteors. They couldn’t stop even when they tried to, and were even injured.

But Yongjin was already running towards the edge of the red zone. The pressure in the blue zone grew stronger as he advanced. The power of the tide was already dozens of times greater than when he first entered the blue zone.

Even the warriors of the Dragon Blood Corps, who had great strength, could not endure it and felt like their bones were breaking.

“I’ll go in first, you guys stay here.”

As soon as Yongjin finished speaking, he stepped into the red zone.

As soon as I entered the red zone, a terrifying sense of oppression rose up from under my feet. I felt like my whole body was on a spring and I was trying to bounce upwards without realizing it.

At that very moment, a force as large as a mountain appeared from above his head and tried to push Yongjin back.

“joy.”

Yongjin snorted coldly and ran the eternity inside his body to block the two different forces pushing in from above and below. Then he felt relieved.

It was a truly strange force. Those who entered the red zone and were immediately ejected probably flew away without even knowing what had happened.

Only the Heavenly Traveler was able to block the first strange impact with his powerful Heavenly Way branch of wisdom and establish himself here.

Yongjin looked ahead. He saw twenty-seven celestial travelers just over ten li away.

They entered the red zone early. As they continued to advance, the pressure became greater and greater. However, the higher the pressure, the greater the harvest. Whether it was physical cultivation, understanding of attributes, or improvement in realm, it all increased several times.

This was also the reason why everyone was desperately rushing to the core area. There were four people in front of the heavenly travelers.

They were the Four Great Geniuses. They had already reached the edge of the core area, the purple area. It was a huge whirlpool, so the four of them could not enter and were stuck at the edge. The pressure there was even more terrifying, so they did not dare to enter.

Tumble.

Yongjin stood in the red zone and spoke to the people in the blue zone.

“When you enter the red zone, you will experience different pressures from above and below. The pressure is fifteen to seventeen times higher than in the blue zone.”

The Dragon Blood Warriors’ faces changed color in an instant when they heard those words. The pressure here was already at their limit. But to have the pressure increased tenfold all at once was like being crushed alive.

“Don’t worry. You won’t die if you come in here. You’ll just be killed half dead. But it’s all worth it. All the hardships you’re going through right now are to survive the battlefield and protect the people in your hearts. I could force you in, but I won’t. You come in on your own. This is not just a contest of strength, but of will. It’s a contest of yourself against yourself.

I can help you once, but I can’t help you for life. You can only rely on yourself. Imagine your brothers being slashed by the enemy’s sword on the battlefield. When that happens, will you regret not becoming stronger? So if you can, don’t hesitate and seize this opportunity. Give it your all and maximize your potential to enter the red zone in the front line!”

At Yongjin’s words, the warriors of the Dragon Blood Corps locked eyes with each other. In an instant, a fighting spirit that seemed to pierce the heavens exploded.

They were dragon-blooded warriors. They were not afraid of death along the path they followed Yongjin. However, they were afraid of their brother dying.

The scene of the brothers who had been eating, drinking, and laughing together falling one by one in the Jeongsa Daejeon was vivid as if it had happened yesterday.

Yongjin’s few words immediately brought out the longing in their hearts. They wanted great power. Only great power could protect the people they valued most.

Gok Yang was the first to jump into the red zone. As soon as Gok Yang shouted, a grimace appeared between his eyebrows, and he exploded with a frenzied momentum. Then, unexpectedly, he was able to endure.

“It didn’t bounce off.”

People watching from afar shouted in surprise without realizing it.

Gokyang jumped into the red zone and his whole body began to shake. He staggered as if he would fall over at any moment, but he quickly regained his balance.

People were shocked by the sight. Many strong men entered the red zone and were bounced off without exception. Some of them were seriously injured.

Those who entered the red zone were all the strongest among the innate powers. Even if their fighting power was inferior to that of the Heavenly Warriors, they were all outstanding elite troops.

When even they failed, people decided that only the celestials could enter the red zone and gave up on it altogether.

However, when Gokyang, who was not a traveler, succeeded, people were surprised and excited at the same time.

with a plop.

As Gokyang entered, Akjabong followed suit. Akjabong exploded with the momentum of his entire body and entered the strong waves like a sharp blade. His movements seemed lighter than Gokyang’s.

“Is it an inspection? It’s okay.”

Bujongju nodded, realizing that Akjabong was someone who had a deep understanding of kendo.

with a plop.

When both of them succeeded, Igi followed suit. However, as soon as he stepped in, blood started spurting out of his mouth.

His body felt as if it was going to twist in pain because of two different forces pushing from below and pressing from above.

My body swayed a few times like that. But Igi didn’t give up and held on, and eventually managed to stay in place without being thrown away.

Song Myeong-won, who was behind Leegi, also spurted blood as soon as he entered, but barely managed to hold on.

When all four entered, people’s eyes turned to Kwak Yeon. At that gaze, Kwak Yeon felt his hair stand on end. His body was weak compared to the average warriors of the Dragon Blood Corps. Entering the red zone was a life-threatening task.

“colon…….”

“Don’t be afraid, come in. If you get kicked out, just come back.”

Yongjin said annoyed. He was always scheming, but now was not the time for scheming.
