Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 476

“Did you hear that story?”

“A story about an inspection team that was dispatched to Chengdu returning after suffering hardships?”

“It’s impossible not to know. “The entire Murim Alliance is in an uproar with that news.”

“It turns out that more than half of the audit team members were members of the senior faction, right?”

“You are a person whose true intentions are clearly visible. “I can’t help but feel sorry for you.”

“By the way, I heard that Shakya Jang (析家莊) was reborn. “If this is the case, what will happen to the punishment of the Cheonan Inspector General?”

“well. “It is said that the Black Islanders repented for the sins they committed and were judged by the law, but that does not eliminate the fact that the Dragon King received compensation.”

“But isn’t there room for extenuation? It didn’t really cause any harm to the general public. Rather, you found and rescued those who had been unfairly harmed by black thieves, right?”

“Yes, but…”

A guesthouse near Murimmaeng.

Cheon Ga-ryeong, who was appeasing her hunger with cheap somen and eavesdropping on the conversation of the customers sitting next to her, burst into laughter.

It was already visible that public opinion was leaning towards Yeonsun.

Originally, there was a sharp conflict between those who supported and those who criticized, but now the ratio has clearly changed.

‘Of course.’

The heroic actions that Yeonsun has shown so far have instilled confidence in the public.

It was shining now.

As she put down her chopsticks and sipped her tea, she heard the voices of middle-aged warriors talking on the other side.

“This time, the shaman faction sent someone, right?”

“shaman? “I heard it was a volcanic wave.”

When I glanced out of the corner of my eye, I saw that everyone was a martial arts leader.

She narrowed her eyes and concentrated her energy to enhance her hearing.

“As people accumulate virtue, help comes in from all over when needed.”

“Who doesn’t? “I heard you recently delivered a huge donation to the martial arts forces in charge of the battle lines, right?”

Let’s say someone commits a hundred (100) mistakes and donates three hundred (300).

What do people think when they see that?

In all likelihood, they would have thought it was a ploy to cover up a crime they had committed.

They say they are being hypocritical in order to put out an urgent fire right away.

On the other hand, what if a person who committed a hundred mistakes donates thirty thousand?

It was inevitable that the crime committed by the target would feel trivial and light.

Because the scale of the case is different.

‘Opinions are bound to differ depending on how it is received.’

The world’s current evaluation of the person named Yeon-woon was exactly like that.

Messengers from each Segawa clan came to the Maeng headquarters and conveyed their wishes for leniency. How could public opinion not be affected by this?

“Have you been waiting long?”

As she put down her teacup, thinking about what would happen in the future, a man with deeply pressed bamboo ribs appeared in front of her.

There was a look of confusion on Cheon Ga-ryeong’s face as he shook his head.

Even though we were members of the same department, I couldn’t get along with the man in front of me.

That’s because he was the person who was designated as the next open governor.

Wonryong (夗龍) Jang Wan.

Ga Gyeong had similar characteristics to Hao Mun, but at the same time, he was also a martial power that was located at the opposite point.

Since ancient times, the relationship between Hao Wen and Ga Jing has never been good.

Now, as they face a common enemy called the Demonic Cult, they are avoiding unnecessary friction, but even that would have been impossible without the presence of the Dragon King.

Phew!

The energy emanating from the original dragon’s entire body covered the surroundings.

Cheon Ga-ryeong, who confirmed that the miraculous membrane had unfolded, opened his mouth with a businesslike expression.

“Let’s just take care of business quickly and then part ways.”

“great. “Has Hao Wen discovered anything?”

“The first is that the mysterious supernatural power that the first religious leader demonstrated may not have simply originated from ancient relics.”

“What does it mean?”

“I learned this while looking through past records, and there was a time when the whereabouts of the first religious leader were unclear.”

In Jang Wan’s eyes, Lee Chae was young.

After receiving a request from the Dragon King to conduct an investigation, he collected information in every possible way to find ways for poisonous people to have children.

Because it was an opportunity to owe a debt to Yeon Yeon-woon and no one else, he did not spare any investment of time and effort.

He even contacted a disciple who had followed Hao Wen-ju’s progress once in a while and exchanged information with each other.

There is still a long way to go, but the results are slowly being revealed.

“After comparing it with what I had previously heard from Sohyeop, I came up with an answer. “It is highly likely that the first leader of the Demonic Cult was in the West during that time.”

“It seems quite plausible. It is said that the doctrines of the Demonic Cult were influenced by the religions of the West.”

The two had a long conversation.

We compared the past records we had found and talked about the situation of the Demonic Cult and their movements.

“The Laughing Demon Army will not be able to leave the front line for a while.”

“It will have to be that way. “There will be no one other than Sosalmagun who can replace the vacant position of Cheonakgun.”

“Is the stage setup going smoothly?”

“So far, it’s going on without any problems. “I plan to be cautious as this is a quick-witted opponent.”

Cheon Ga-ryeong’s confident answer.

Wonryong nodded and recalled the conversation he had with Yeonsun in the past.

[I plan to lure the Sosalma army into a trap and eliminate it. I hope the small cooperative will help with that.]

[Yes? I know that Sosalmagun is a person who cannot be followed in terms of caution even within the Demonic Cult. Will he get caught for offering an inducement?]

[He will get caught. Are you planning to set up a bait that he will never ignore?]

[Bait?]

I didn’t realize how surprised I was at the time.

Seogunak, the iron-blooded demon who was known to be dead, suddenly appeared before our eyes alive.

While I exclaimed in admiration at the heart of the Dragon King, who had been hiding his secret secret until now, I also felt fear.

If he had been a member of the Demonic Cult, it was clear that the martial arts faction would have faced an unprecedented crisis.

“I will leave it to you to organize the collected information and deliver it to the manager.”

“All right.”

As soon as the information exchange is over, Cheon Ga-ryeong gets up from her seat.

Jang Wan, who was staring at her back as she left the guest room, muttered in his heart.

As expected, it was a good thing I joined.

I was sure.

He said that the experiences he gained here will be of great help to him in the future when he takes on an open-minded position.

* * *

“……This can’t be happening.”

“You deny reality. “That’s not like a senior.”

“What kind of trick have you pulled?”

Inside Meng’s underground prison.

Ling Xing Dojang’s shoulders trembled pitifully.

Tendons bulged on the back of my hand.

It couldn’t have been more exhilarating to see the strength in both hands as if they were about to tear up the letter they were clutching.

“If anyone hears that it was a trick, they will think that I used unfair means like my senior.”

“Shut up!”

“Isn’t it all your karma? “This is probably the result because it has gone beyond the acceptable range of what a monk can protect.”

“I told you to shut up!”

A spiritual seal that emits a cry that is unknown whether it is a roar or a scream.

I covered my mouth with my hand and giggled.

It was a rare sight that could not be seen anywhere else.

Even if he was an old man with a century-old snake inside him, he seemed to make that kind of expression when faced with a hopeless reality.

‘I feel refreshed inside.’

As I said before, I am not a very personable person.

The reason I went all the way to prison and brought the letter from Cheongseongmunju to Yeongseong Dojang was just to see his reaction.

‘In the end, the choice that the Cheongseong faction could choose was decided.’

No matter how obvious the mistake was, it would not have been easy for the Qingcheng faction to make the decision to throw away the spiritual seal.

No matter how he appears in the eyes of others, it is clear that Yeongseong Dojang is a person who has devoted himself to the Qingcheng Sect.

Practical issues would also have to be taken into consideration.

So I sent them a compendium to make it easier for them to make a decision.

Considering the loss that the Qingcheng Sect would suffer due to the fall of the Lingcheng Dojo, he scratched their itch.

‘No matter what attitude the Qingcheng faction takes, the fall of the Yongseong dojo is inevitable.’

Even if the Youngseong Dojo is overthrown, I don’t know if the owner of the Cheonbong Trading Company will really try to cut off business with the Qingcheng Sect.

However, it was clear that the relationship between the two parties was established thanks to the resourcefulness of the Youngseong Dojo, and it was clear that the Qingcheng Sect had that in mind.

‘In that case, it’s enough to suggest an alternative.’

Groups, not individuals, were bound to move based on their own interests.

The Blue Star faction would have had no choice but to choose the option with the lowest risk.

It was a structure in which one person had to make a sacrifice to achieve an amicable ending.

I don’t know how much effort was put into completing this painting.

‘There is nothing to see here anymore.’

With this, Yongseong Dojo lost everything he had built up.

Sooner or later, he will lose his status as a leader and have to return home.

As an elder of the Murim League, he enjoyed all kinds of luxuries and pleasures, but will he be able to return to the monastery and spend the rest of his life being treated like an old man in the backroom?

I thought that possibility was low.

“Then I’ll just leave.”

I left the prison, leaving behind Yeongseong Dojang, who was lying on the floor and sobbing.

The pouring sunlight stung my eyes.

I muttered, squinting my eyes slightly.

‘This will be a warning to the elders.’

This troublesome thing wasn’t done simply to drive the spiritual dojo into despair.

Honestly, if I had put my mind to it, I could have prevented the current situation.

The reason he accepted this cut-throat battle called public opinion was to instill fear in other elders.

‘If you want to make people as seniors as they are agitated, you have to give them this much of a shock.’

It showed the process of completely destroying the values that the elders considered more important than life.

If they had any sense, they would have figured out what I was trying to say.

It was good to engage in political strife.

But you had to know how to use the means.

Because Youngseong Dojang was blinded by his desire for revenge, he crossed a river that he should not have crossed.

At a time when an all-out war with the Demonic Cult was about to occur, the only option was to cause internal conflict and all die together.

‘In my heart of hearts, I want to kick out all those who went along with that stupid plan.’

Unfortunately, there was no time to do so.

From now on, we must focus all of our capabilities on the Demonic Cult.

There should be no mistake about priorities.

Now that the goal of suppressing the internal enemy had been achieved, it was time to prepare for a decisive battle.

“Whoa.”

I pursed my lips and let out a long sigh.

As I felt the warm spring breeze, I felt much more refreshed.

I hummed a tune and walked in the direction of Cheonan Gambu.
