Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 487:

Half a day ago.

When Cheon Yang, a disciple of Park Saeng-mun, and Hui Gyun, a warrior of Hyogajang, were transported to Hwanhojin (幻惑陳) created by Sima Yun.

“please! Please forgive me just this once!”

“What are you asking me to forgive?”

“I dared to tell lies in front of the Great Council!”

“Are you saying you will admit that you are a demonic cult?”

“Definitely not! “I have no connection with the Demonic Cult!”

“if?”

“I am the one who caused the quarrel! How dare you look down on the Union’s rules and commit a foolish act!”

Was it because he felt his life was in danger?

Cheonyang, who put his head on the ground, began to blurt out the inside story without even asking.

After completing the cross-verification with Hwi-gyun, who bowed his head deeply, I was able to know more clearly what happened.

‘Of course it is. ‘We talked to each other, leaving out everything that was unfavorable to us.’

To put it simply, it is true that it was Cheonyang who ignited the fight first, but it was also true that Hwigyun made disparaging remarks about his teacher.

It was difficult to believe that one side was at fault unilaterally.

“I will accept the punishment for the crime I committed. But you’re a magician. “I cannot accept being treated the same way as kites, worse than beasts, and being executed.”

“…….”

“There must be some mistake. Please investigate again. Then…”

“Leave it there.”

It was Hwi-gyun who stopped Cheon-yang from making her earnest appeal.

He said as if he was scolding Cheonyang, who looked back with an expression as if asking why he was disturbing him.

“Don’t you know? “We are the sacrifice.”

“What do you mean?”

“Whether we are demons or not is not that important to the Great Dragon King.”

“……?”

“Maybe you knew from the beginning that we were not demons.”

“no way.”

“We are an example. “It is our role to die here.”

When I saw Hwigyun sighing as if he had given up on everything, I let out an exclamation in my heart.

He was a very perceptive person.

Somehow, unlike Cheonyang, he obediently followed Bangcheoksam’s guidance.

I never thought I would think that far in that hectic situation.

He looked away from Cheonyang, who had frozen in shock, and looked straight at me and said.

“I have a favor to ask.”

“Please speak.”

“I hope you can spend your time comfortably and pain-free.”

“I think you misunderstand something about me.”

“yes?”

“I have no intention of doing anything to you two.”

“…Are you saying you won’t kill me?”

“I’m not trying to sell myself off by saying that I’m not as evil as you think. As you thought, I falsely accused you two of being members of the Demonic Cult in order to make an example of them.”

“…….”

“However, if you two die here, I will be in quite a bit of trouble.”

“What does it mean?”

“A lie made up carelessly is bound to get discovered in the end. I first learned about you two today. “Of course, we have never separately investigated personal details.”

“Ah…”

“If it were Hyogajang and Park Saeng-moon, it would not be difficult to prove the contradiction in what I said. “I am not such a lax person that I would harm you two even though I clearly knew that.”

I had no intention of facing repercussions that I could not handle while trying to silence him.

From the beginning, I tried to use the two people as negotiation material.

I had to get Hyogajang and Park Saeng-moon to join in on my plan in order to turn the flimsy lie into truth.

“Seo Musa.”

“yes.”

“How is it. “Can you imitate me?”

Seo Ho-seon, who was waiting next to Sima-un, nodded and stepped forward.

He cleared his throat once and repeated the sound.

“Ah ah ah ah ah.”

Cheonyang opened his eyes wide.

He seemed to have noticed that the more he repeated his vocalizations, the more similar his voice became.

Seo Ho-seon learned various visions left behind by the great master of the previous era, Muyeongsintu (無影神偸).

Among them was also the art of transmutation, which allowed one to change one’s voice at will.

After a while.

Wow!

Argh!

A scream erupted.

A scream that strangles the soul of a listener who, if heard by a stranger, might mistake them for being subjected to terrible torture.

“…!”

Hui-gyun and Cheon-yang watched the scene with blank expressions.

* * *

“Just now… you said you took advantage of us?”

“That’s right.”

Park Saeng-moon-ju’s face, who was asking with a puzzled expression, soon turned red.

He shouted in rage, his shoulders shaking.

“It’s not something you can get away with just saying you’re sorry!”

“…….”

“Do you know how we came to this place?”

“I would like to apologize again and again. “It was necessary for the Allied Forces and for the Baekdo Murim to win the war.”

The current Allied forces were unstable.

It may sound good to say that warriors from different backgrounds joined forces to fight a common enemy, but to put it another way, it could also be said that a hastily assembled unit was created that was difficult to command.

There was no time to increase solidarity and solidarity like the Allied Forces in Sichuan or Shandong.

There were clear limits to simply establishing rules and issuing threats.

So there was a need to set a precedent so that everyone in the group felt fear.

< The Ganja of the Demonic Cult were hiding, disguising themselves as allies. >

< Fortunately, the Dragon King, who knew their identity, suppressed them early before any trouble occurred, but no one knows how many more Ganja are hiding. > < Everyone Now that we are on high alert, if we have a conflict with our allies, we may be mistaken for being demon cultists whose goal is to cause internal strife. > The reason why Hwi-gyun and Cheonyang were falsely accused of being demon cultists was to make all of our allies have this perception

. It was.

It was a hundred times more effective than simply scolding or threatening.

Basically, this much had to be done in order to smoothly control the martial people, who had little fear of laws and rules.

“Sacrifice of the small for the large? Words are good. But sacrifice is not something that others force you to make!”

“Lord Moon is right.”

“compensation? We can give you as much material compensation as you want. But what about our reputation that has been tarnished by this incident? “What is the future of the two people who suddenly became devils?”

“…….”

“There are definitely values that cannot be converted into money. “How are you going to compensate for that?”

“I will try to show as much sincerity as I can.”

I snapped my fingers loudly.

As if he had been waiting, Simaun placed two chests in front of Hyogajangju and Park Saengmunju respectively.

When the lid was opened, a bright light pierced the eyes of the middle school students.

The elders of Hyojiajang held their breath when they discovered the fist-sized night pearl mixed among the expensive jewels.

“If you promise to keep quiet about this, I will give you the whole chest.”

“…!”

Park Saeng-moon-ju said that there is a value that cannot be converted into money.

I had no intention of denying that.

However, in most cases, there is nothing that cannot be solved with money, as long as the amount is not insufficient.

This is a large amount of money that a single small- and medium-sized business group will never touch in their lifetime.

I could confidently say that there is no one in the world who would not be shaken by such wealth.

Aren’t you spending too much?

If you thought of it as an investment for the solidarity of the Allied Forces and further victory in the war, you could take it as much as you wanted.

“Also, we will take steps to ensure that the two people who were falsely accused of being demons can safely leave this place and return to the shrine.”

“…….”

“We will restore your lost honor later. Once the war between political and evil forces is over, I will reveal to the world what happened today. “If you want, I can write you a memorandum.”

Hyogajju, who unconsciously nodded, looked startled and looked at the people around him.

Judging from his reaction, it seemed safe to say that he was already halfway there.

On the other hand, Park Saeng-moon-joo’s expression was still not good.

Although I was tempted by the gold and silver treasures in front of me, the fact that they were exchanging shabby transactions seemed to bother me.

“Is this not enough?”

“It’s not a matter of not having enough.”

Park Saengmun is from the Taoist sect.

The nature of the group was bound to be different from Segawa’s.

This is not to say that this is true of all Taoist schools, but at least the value that Park Saeng-moon pursued most highly was not money.

“If Lord Moon says he can’t accept it, I can’t do it.”

“……?”

“We will bring together the leaders of the Allied Forces and reveal the facts. “I will take full responsibility, so you don’t have to worry.”

Not only Park Saengmunju, but also Hyogajangju, who was glaring at him with open eyes, also looked surprised.

I guess he didn’t expect me to retreat so obediently.

I tapped the table with my index finger and continued talking.

“But at that time, Lord Moon will also have to be prepared.”

“Resolution? “What resolution are you talking about?”

“I am prepared to lose the disciple of the recluse.”

“What do you mean!”

“Why are you so surprised? “The false accusation of being a demon cultist has been cleared, but it does not mean that the Cheonyang Cooperative has not committed any crime.”

“…!”

“We got into a fight with our troops at a critical time before an all-out war. Even pulling out a sword and swinging it. “Infighting almost broke out.”

Park Saeng-moon-ju’s face hardened.

I felt like he knew what I was trying to say without even listening to the end.

“You probably know the rules of the Allied Forces. “What the Cheonyang Small Cooperative committed is a serious crime punishable by up to summary punishment.”

Of course, that was exactly what was said.

If you were in a situation where the enemy was right in front of you, there would be a lot of backlash if you dealt with a minor dispute that occurred while moving with capital punishment.

I just chose provocative words to make the other person feel alarmed.

There was no intention to impose excessive punishment.

I was now saying this to Park Saeng-moon-ju.

My fault is my fault, and it is also clear that a disciple of that sect made a mistake.

If you want to cover up the sins committed by the ascetic disciple, you will have to take the hand I extend to you.

“…….”

I placed my clasped hands on the table and watched Park Saeng-moon-ju’s reaction.

All that was left was to wait and see what decision he made.

‘I hope you make a wise decision. Munju.’
