Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 466:

In the past, Chayun Dojang and other wise monks visited Wolhwajang (月華莊) to meet me.

A few of them joined the Cheonan Kambu to avenge the death of their death penalty, but most of them failed the exam and returned to being monks.

‘What kind of situation is this?’

At first I was skeptical, but the more I looked at it, the more confident I became.

The appearance of the wanted criminal in the profile report was exactly the same as one of the Buddhist monks I had seen at the time.

‘I don’t understand.’

I felt a sense of discomfort.

A young man who attended the funeral of his brother-in-law who died during the war, shed tears, and took the entrance exam while burning his hostility toward the Demon Cult, learned magical arts and became a Demon while we were not even seeing him?

Of course, I had no intention of blindly defending him just because he was from the same class as his dead subordinate.

The Hyeonsamun is a sect located in Gamju, Gangseo Province, and it was quite possible for the head of Chuga to harbor a grudge against a military officer active in the region.

‘But even if I try to look at it as objectively as possible, I can’t help but feel unnatural.’

Because I had researched through the Hao clan, I had a general idea of what type of faction the Xuan Shi clan was.

A martial arts force with integrity and innocence that is rarely found.

Members of the clan were accustomed to frugal living and were more interested in self-discipline and building virtue than in worldly affairs.

‘Did you say that not only would he not touch anything that was outside of the right path, but his disciples would not even show off with the power of the sect on their backs?’

It was hard to believe that such a disciple of Master Hyeonsamun had suddenly fallen into the path of magic.

The story I heard from Oh Seong-moon in the guesthouse flashed through my mind.

[Some say the heirloom was stolen by Majin, while others say the owner’s only daughter was kidnapped. There were so many rumors that I couldn’t tell what was true.]

‘It’s theft and rape.’

People say you can’t tell just by looking at the outside, but even so, when the gap was this severe, your thoughts had no choice but to lean to one side.

Is Hyeonsamudo in the wanted badge really guilty and being chased?

In the first place, did Chu Chu know that he had placed a bounty on Master Xuan’s disciple?

‘No matter how much a landowner possesses enormous financial power, he would not usually think of dealing with a large-scale martial arts sect.’

There were two assumptions that could come to mind.

Firstly, as rumored, if the head of Chu was harmed by Hyeonsamundo, who had become a demon.

The second is when Hyeonsamundo, who has been falsely accused, is being chased by the martial arts people who are blinded by the bounty.

‘Either way, it would be a good idea to find the person involved and hear their story.’

I turned around and headed back to the guesthouse.

In the former case, I could easily find the wanted person on my own, but in the latter case, that would not be the case.

We had to keep in mind the case where the target was not a demon.

First, I decided that it would be a good idea to inform the members of the department and seek help.

“…!”

It was then.

Through my expanded senses, I could sense the presence of the martial arts people moving around bustling in the distance.

As I concentrated my energy and strengthened my hearing, I could hear the excited voices of men.

“We went that way!”

“Push it in! Now he is a rat in a poison!”

I immediately rushed towards the source of the noise.

I could understand the situation without having to see it with my own eyes.

It seems that the location of the wanted person was eventually revealed through a search by the martial arts people spread throughout the area.

* * *

“Pfft!”

Baekhyeon Dojang, a disciple of Hyeonsamun at Ewha University, chewed his lips as he saw the martial artists flocking from all directions.

The situation was heading towards the worst.

If things continued like this, I thought I might become a guest of immortality even before I could tell the news to the monk.

Kagagak!

A middle-aged swordsman who penetrates the blind spots of vision like a protectionist.

A large ax fell on the head of Baekhyun Dojang, who repelled the sword strike and bit Shinhyeong.

He dodged the slash by leaning his upper body forward, then strongly kicked the ground and leaped.

Shhh!

Iron nets passing by underfoot.

Baekhyun Dojang glanced down and internally sighed in relief.

‘It was dangerous. If only the judgment had been a little late…’

The warriors of the Black Island, who had suddenly been covered with iron nets, started swearing.

Using their shoulders as support, the young Taoist took another leap and climbed onto the roof of a nearby building.

‘It’s a grim situation.’

A shadow fell on Baekhyun Dojang’s face.

The number of soldiers forming the siege network was too large.

How much did the bounty increase to attract so many people?

“this guy!”

“Quietly drop your weapons and surrender!”

A conflict arose in an instant.

I couldn’t think of any way to get out of this place.

I wondered if I should just be caught and save my life.

‘No, that’s just desperation.’

The wanted letter issued by the chieftain did not include any conditions requiring the subject to be brought back alive.

It was as obvious as seeing fire how those who had their eyes wide open for the bounty would deal with the person who had surrendered.

‘In the worst case scenario, there might be a fight to get my head.’

There was virtually no option to give up running and be captured.

It’s called Cheonbung Uchul (天崩牛出).

It is said that even if the sky falls, there is a hole to emerge from.

If I didn’t give up and held on until the end, a path to life might open up.

Perhaps the adults of the recluse who sensed something strange might be coming to help him.

A shimmering energy rose above the island.

The manifestation of sword energy.

Since it had only been a short while since I had achieved enlightenment and reached the peak, I was still unskilled in its operation.

It wouldn’t be possible to maintain it for a long time.

‘still.’

There was nothing else like this to pose a threat to the enemy.

They say you have to conserve your energy as much as possible when dealing with a large number of people, but right now, you were in no position to choose between cold and hot.

Suddenly!

The older man who was running towards me with a large club got scared and took a step back.

He swallowed dry saliva as he stared at the cleanly cut cross section of the sack.

“be careful!”

“Even though he is rotten, he is a person who has mastered the magic arts! “The moment you make a mistake, you could be counterattacked and lose your life!”

Baekhyun Dojang’s eyes were distorted by shouts coming from all over the place.

What a magician.

It couldn’t have been more absurd.

I felt like yelling.

Please do not disgrace the proud martial arts skills of a monk.

But no matter what he said here, they wouldn’t listen.

For them, the important thing is not the whole story of the incident.

“Get out of the way!”

The martial arts people retreated to avoid Baekhyun Dojang, who was charging with his long sword.

Baekhyun Dojang, who was running through the collapsed siege, tilted his head back to avoid the flying sword.

Because it was a dark night, I almost didn’t notice.

My back was wet with cold sweat.

He wiped the wound on the nape of his neck with his left hand, blocked the front, and lowered his long sword diagonally towards Seon Geo-han.

“Huh?”

The giant couldn’t even think of avoiding it and froze in place like a stone.

Baekhyun Dojang was even more embarrassed by the unexpected reaction of the other person.

I thought he was a talented person who was confident in his own martial arts skills because he confidently stepped forward, but now I see that he was just a swordsman who had no choice but to step forward due to the pressure of the people around him.

‘this!’

Attempting to make the opponent back down by threatening him ended up taking the other person’s life.

Baekhyun Dojang urgently twisted his upper body.

The sharp blade narrowly missed the giant’s shoulder.

A new type that stumbles due to a sudden movement of the center of gravity.

The surrounding martial arts people, who were waiting for an opportunity, rushed in as if they had been waiting.

“Ugh!”

Baekhyun Dojang, who was doing somersaults with his left hand on the ground, rolled around on the floor awkwardly.

My vision was spinning and I felt dizzy.

It wasn’t that difficult to guess the cause of the sudden abnormal symptoms.

‘Is it poison?’

It seemed that poison had been applied to the part of the memorization blade that had been thrown in a little while ago.

A desperate situation.

It was a time when he was in despair as he stared at the blade of the sword flying in front of his face.

“Until there.”

Whoops!

The young man who appeared in the blink of an eye snapped his fingers and kicked away the sword strike.

When a saboteur appeared at a critical moment, the middle school students became upset.

Among them, there were some who recognized the young man’s identity and expressed astonishment.

“Dragon King!”

“The Dragon King?”

“Is the Dragon King protecting the Demon now?”

Baekhyun Dojang made a dazed expression as the noise penetrated his ears.

A young man’s back visible through blurred vision.

A truly unexpected person came to help him.

He opened his mouth with difficulty and asked in a trembling voice.

“Am I really the head of the Cheonan Inspector General?”

* * *

I helped Baekhyun Dojang, who was unable to properly control his body due to the poisonous energy, lie down comfortably.

The middle class people just watched quietly and no one complained or asked why.

‘also.’

I nodded once, checking the blood pressure to prevent the poison from spreading any further.

As expected, there were no traces of learning magic anywhere.

Actually, I could have helped you a little sooner.

However, I deliberately watched the situation from a distance.

To be sure that the assumptions you came up with are really correct.

“You may be wondering why I got involved.”

After finishing first aid, I looked around and opened my mouth.

The middle school students nodded in agreement.

They wouldn’t have been able to understand me appearing out of nowhere and protecting Mine.

“Baekhyun Dojang here is an acquaintance of mine. Although he is not wearing a ceremonial uniform right now, he has the status of a second generation disciple of Hyeonsamun.”

“…!”

“Of course, if I were to ask you only because I was acquainted with you, that would not be the case. Baekhyun Dojang did not learn magic. “I will put my name on it to guarantee it.”

In no time, the surroundings became noisy.

Those who are astute would have figured out what I was trying to say just by listening to this point.

“So, are you saying that the Dragon King’s Council has spread false information to deceive us?”

“well. I don’t know until then. Was it a mistake caused by a misunderstanding or was it intentional? “When Baekhyun Dojang regains consciousness, I plan to ask him about the circumstances.”

“It sounds like you are declaring that the author will be taken away by the Daehyup.”

“You understand correctly.”

“Who can argue with the fact that the Grand Council will do so, but there is a law called morality.”

“Moral? Are you protesting that the game you worked so hard to hunt is being taken away?”

“…….”

“Then I’d like to ask. “Is there a moral purpose to killing a living person?”

As I answered with a grin, the man who I presumed to be a black man became mute.

I glared at the man with cold eyes.

Trying to be unreasonable using logic that doesn’t work.

“If you have any complaints, please speak up now. “I will listen.”
