Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 60

“The destination is Snow Mountain. “It is a high mountain located in Bonghwa.”

“It’s Seoldusan Mountain.”

Damwoon, who was muttering while rubbing his chin with his hand, spoke as if giving advice.

“If it is a remote area with few people and is protected by various military laws, it is meaningless to have a large number of people. “I think it would be better to explore with the minimum number of people.”

“I think so too.”

“How do you plan on staffing it?”

“For now, I’m thinking about three. Dam Sohyeop and I, and even Sojeo Dang Seoyeon.”

“If you have the Tang family name… surely you are Sacheon Dang?”

“yes. “They are also direct blood relatives.”

“her.”

“I heard that Reporter Cheon was a person who was skilled not only in fighting methods but also in institutions. “If you move with someone who has knowledge about the organization, you can get help.”

“Are you sure that by party you mean the blood relatives of the Tang family?”

“Didn’t I tell you? “My group members are all talented people.”

“…….”

“Among the party, there is also a Taoist from the Volcanic Sect. “He is a disciple who has continued the progress of Maehwashingeom.”

“A disciple of the Plum God Sword?!”

“Well, that person won’t be helpful in conquering Bi-dong, so let’s leave it aside for now.”

“What about executions…”

“Do you think there is a need to increase the number of people here?”

“Do you know exactly where Bi-dong is on Seoldu Mountain?”

“I only know the approximate location.”

“In that case, I think it would be a good idea to add at least one more character who has bright eyes and is good at exploration.”

“All right.”

I nodded obediently.

Suddenly, a suitable person came to mind.

Cheon Ga-ryeong.

As he was the head of a large intelligence group, he could be expected to have excellent search abilities.

‘The problem is that if that happens, we have to move without the Cheonwoo Dojo…’

I didn’t necessarily want to increase the number of people here.

As the number of people increases, the portion that must be shared also increases.

The problem was whether Dojang Cheon-Woo would obediently remain in Hangzhou and wait.

‘How should I separate from that person?’

* * *

The problem was surprisingly easily resolved.

“So you’re saying you want to do some personal action for a while?”

“Looking at it, it doesn’t look like I’m going to stay in Hangzhou for a day or two, but I thought I should do something rather than sit around doing nothing.”

“I’m sure you’re not planning on applying to the government military.”

“It could be so. “No matter how much I don’t know about the world, I know that once I apply to the government military, I can’t withdraw at will.”

“then?”

“I felt it on the way. “The direct cause of the suffering of the common people is not the Japanese pirates, but the ruthless thugs who take advantage of the government’s attention.”

“I know what you’re trying to say.”

Dojang Cheonwoo himself declared that he would move alone for a while.

Even though he was rotten, he was full of a strong sense of justice as a Taoist of the Hwasan Sect.

‘It looks like saving the people’s livelihood is an excuse and the goal is to stay away from me.’

Perhaps because he had been beaten by me twice, Cheonwoo Dojang felt very uncomfortable with me.

I nodded willingly and held out the money bag to him.

“Take it.”

“What is this?”

“Aren’t you going to need funds for activities? “No one would even pay me separately.”

“…Is this the Yeon Sohyeop I know?”

“How on earth have you been looking at me all this time?”

“A goblin who is so anxious that he can’t beat me up.”

“…….”

It was an accurate expression, so I had nothing to say.

After thanking him and waving him off as he ran out of the room, I went to see Cheon Ga-ryeong and informed him of my future schedule.

“Reporter Cheon’s secret?”

“yes.”

“I was wondering why I went all the way to Zhejiang in this situation, and I realized that the real purpose was there. Now then, the reason why I went around the red-light district looking for the Sima family’s right man…”

“Would you like to go with me?”

“Of course I should go. It’s a rare opportunity. “Anyway, how did you know Bi-dong’s location?”

“It’s a secret.”

“What kind of guy has so many secrets?”

“I think I’ve heard that story dozens of times already.”

“If you’ve heard that much, wouldn’t it be okay to tell me at least once?”

“Isn’t it time to give up?”

“How do you plan to distribute the income earned through the non-consent strategy?”

“First of all, all the items such as treasures, treasures, and swords belong to me. “I will give you this share of the remaining income.”

“Isn’t it too salty?”

“It is natural that the distribution rate varies depending on the level of contribution. “We plan to allocate 30% and 50% to Tang Sojeo and Dam Sohyeop, respectively.”

“…….”

“If you don’t like it, you can refuse. “I’ll find someone else.”

“I didn’t say I didn’t like it.”

“I plan to leave in two days, so get ready.”

“What should I prepare?”

“All you need is normal travel preparation. “It will likely take at least five days to make the round trip, so pack plenty of clothes to change into.”

After completing the recruitment of Cheon Ga-ryeong and Tang Seo-yeon, we stopped at the market and bought food and a few other items.

In his spare time, he decided to visit his son and teach him martial arts as requested by the owner of the top.

“It looks like you’ve made a lot of progress while I haven’t seen you.”

“I meet my benefactor. “I was so nervous before that I couldn’t even say hello to you properly.”

“There is no need to be so overly polite. “I am also indebted to the Lord of the Sangdan in one way or another.”

When I first saw it, I thought it was someone else.

Before, he had a skinny body, but before you could see, he had become a muscular giant.

The inner power within the Danjeon had also increased to an incomparable degree compared to before.

“Have you taken any elixir?”

“yes. “Somehow, I got in touch with Botaam and was able to share a piece of heaven with him.”

Namhae Botaam (普陀庵).

It was a famous scenic spot in Zhejiang and a famous temple managed by female monks like Ami.

This sect, also called Geomgak (劍閣), once had enormous power comparable to that of the Gudaemun sect.

He was probably working with the government army to subdue Japanese pirates by now.

“I was able to make great progress by gaining an unexpected opportunity.”

“Congratulations.”

I snorted inwardly.

What kind of fate is this fate of freezing to death?

Is it possible that a Daemun sect as big as Botaam gave away a precious elixir without any reason?

I can guarantee that Bota-am provided Jihyo-seong elixir in exchange for a promise of financial support from the owner of Hwayang Sangdan.

“First, I want to see your skills. Would you like to try mixing it up?”

“great.”

The man in charge, Hwa Dae-rang, nodded excitedly.

Hwadaerang and I immediately moved to our seats and entered the spacious training hall, immediately drawing our swords and confronting each other.

‘indeed… … .’

The owner of Hwayang Sangdan said that Hwadaerang was not interested in the business of the Sangdan.

His only interest is martial arts.

The owner of Hwayang Sangdan seemed to be having a hard time because his only son had his sights set on becoming a strongman.

‘You’ve got your bearings somehow. I’ve achieved this much through self-study.’

It was Hwadaerang who took the lead.

He stretched out his sword with a powerful move.

I avoided it by lightly taking half a step back, and then immediately invaded the opponent’s gap.

The key to ghosting is controlling the pace and speed.

Closing the distance by targeting the moment the opponent attacks was one of my favorite techniques.

“omg!”

Hwadaerang let out a sigh and pushed Shinhyeong back.

I could have chased it down and knocked it over, but I didn’t do it on purpose.

After all, it was a dance to test one’s skills.

There was no point in suppressing him before he even showed his martial arts skills.

Taaang!

He snapped his fingers and sent a wind blow, and Hwadaerang swung his sword and struck it away.

‘The reaction isn’t bad.’

Hwadaerang swung his sword again with all his might.

Unlike before, it was a sword strike with defense in mind.

After giving it about ten seconds, I suddenly sprayed it with Wolyeonggeom’s Jeolcho.

April, the twelfth herbivorous month.

The illusion of a sword fluttering like a dance hit the entire front of Hwadaerang.

“Sigh!”

Surprisingly, Hwa Daerang was not embarrassed and threw himself into the illusion.

As if he knew it wouldn’t harm his body.

‘The level of insight is also considerable.’

I gave a small exclamation and looked back at the sword strike he was making with the blade.

Hwadaerang, who lost his balance and was staggering, rotated the new model around his left foot.

“…….”

I stretched out my left hand and pushed his back before he could correct his posture.

Hwadaerang, who was unable to overcome his own momentum and was pushed back five steps, said while scratching the back of his head with an embarrassed expression.

“It looked ugly.”

“no. It was not a bad improvisation. “If I had been a little faster, I could have regained my balance in time.”

Afterwards, after exchanging approximately fifty seconds, the meeting ended.

I was deep in thought, urging him to rest as he was breathing heavily.

‘My skills are better than I thought.’

Not only did he learn the martial arts of rising, but his qualifications were not bad either.

Of course, if it was comparable to Cheon Ga-ryeong or Tang Seoyeon Cheon-woo Dojang, it was not.

However, this alone would have been enough to place him in the top ranks among martial artists of his age.

Considering that he trained alone without a teacher, it could be said to be a significant achievement.

‘It’s top-notch, nearing its peak.’

I was just trying to pretend to teach, but my thoughts changed.

The foundation was solid and there weren’t that many bad habits.

I felt like teaching would be worthwhile at this level.

‘If given enough time, high achievements can be achieved.’

Above all, I felt like Hwa Dae-rang, the person involved, would not just let me go.

He was said to be a martial artist and his eagerness to learn was great.

It was quite a burden to look at this direction with expectant eyes.

I sat across from Hwadaerang with a smiling face.

I explained in simple terms what I felt while dancing, and Hwadaerang listened with a serious expression.

If you become close to Hwa Dae-rang and make him an ally, your relationship with the head of Hwayang Sangdan will naturally become stronger.

For me, it was a business with nothing to lose.

‘Well, it would be enough to spend some of my spare time.’

* * *

Time passed quickly and it was the day we left on our journey to Seoldusan Mountain.

I introduced Damun to the group and encouraged them to exchange greetings.

“This is Damun.”

“This is Dangseoyeon of Sacheon Dangga. Please take care of me in the future. Damun Sohyeop.”

“This is Cheon Ga-ryeong. Please take care of me.”

Damun showed no particular reaction to the burn marks that covered half of Tang Seo-yeon’s face or to Cheon Ga-ryeong’s beautiful appearance, comparable to that of a fairy.

After simply exchanging greetings calmly, they got into the carriage, sat with their arms folded, and closed their eyes.

It was in contrast to the reaction shown by Cheonwoo Dojang.

Instead of Cheonwoo Dojang, a servant hired by Hwayang Sangdan sat on the coach seat.

Rattling!

I thought as I looked out the window from the rocking carriage.

‘Since we have recruited the Chiunwoon Dragon, we will be able to neutralize most of the formation methods. However, I heard that there is nothing we can do about the final illusion camp due to external interference.’

I didn’t know the details, but I knew that it could only be unlocked by stepping inside the camp and destroying the core from within.

Will I be able to break the strategy created by Reporter Cheon at my current level?
