Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 412

Episode 412:

I lost consciousness and lifted the sagging spirit seal onto my shoulder.

Master Noh’s appearance was truly miserable.

His hair was scattered and his clothes were tattered.

My face was swollen and my whole body was covered in bruises.

It was the result of a careful beating under the pretext of subduing him.

‘I feel a bit relieved now.’

I wanted to break off the branches, but there was still work left to do.

Isn’t it me who the Youngseong Dojo should apologize to?

“…….”

I walked confidently through the warriors who split to the left and right, clearing a path.

From the entrance of the Senate to the residence of the spiritual dojo.

The road that was neatly maintained is now completely trashed.

I thought it would take some time to recover.

“It’s humiliating.”

“……Damn it.”

The gazes of the middle class people looking at me were not kind.

In fact, punishing the spiritual seal itself was not a big deal.

All you have to do is feel like a tiger, go down the rabbit hole, and run wild. How difficult would that be?

The real problem was this.

There were many wild cats that would use this incident as an excuse to bite me.

Each of the elders watching the current situation was a beast hiding its sharp molars.

The sporadic fights with them so far would have incomparable aftereffects.

‘Was it a little excessive?’

I was scratching the back of my head and burst out laughing.

It was just the right amount of excess.

Wouldn’t this be enough to properly declare war?

“I thought this day might come someday, but it’s sooner than I thought.”

Sohyeongeom (昭賢劍), who came out through the crowd, clicked his tongue and said.

An elder from the Hwasan faction.

My relationship with him also lasts quite a long time.

Starting from this moment today, we can no longer go back to the same relationship as before.

[What do you want to achieve?]

[To take revenge on the Demonic Cult as a descendant of Wolhwajang or someone related to it?] [

This may be just an old man’s guess, but that is probably not your ultimate goal.]

Sohyeongeom is here . Among those gathered, he was the only one who knew my goal.

In the past, when he asked me my goals while drinking, I answered like this.

[I have no intention of seeking the position of the next leader based on my experience as the head of the Cheonan Gambu.]

Currently, my status within the Murim Alliance has risen to the point where it has skyrocketed.

Achievements Status Reputation.

There wasn’t a single part missing.

Everyone knew.

If the Great War of Righteous Demons ends and the Cheonan Government is disbanded, there will be one of two destinations that I will reach.

A leader or elder.

In fact, it was safe to say that I had revealed to Sohyeongeom that I wanted to become an elder.

“Has your senior come too?”

“Don’t call me friendly. “What if other elders misunderstand?”

“If you give it to me, it would be a great thing for me. “You will be able to easily keep the most difficult enemy in check.”

“Scary guy.”

A light conversation that did not fit the atmosphere took place.

Master Baekmang, who was licking his oily hands after finishing off the entire piece of meat, narrowed his eyes.

I left the Senate with light steps and headed to the funeral hall where the funeral was in full swing.

* * *

As we entered the ceremony hall, the mourners all looked shocked.

It was because I recognized the identity of the old man on my shoulder.

Yeong Jin-hwan, a member of the administrative department of Cheonan Gambu, asked with a trembling voice.

“Boss. Surely not?”

“What do you mean it’s not?”

“If I remember correctly, I think he is a spiritual dojo, an elder of the Maeng clan…” “

That’s right.”

“Please tell me that the manager saved me from being attacked by someone.”

“I beat him up.”

There was a look of despair on Young Jinhwan’s face.

To him who did not know the exact circumstances, the news would have been like a bolt from the blue.

I passed him, who was frozen like a stone statue, and headed to the podium.

After looking at the coffins on the flower bed, I turned around and called the two women.

“Sojeo Woo Hwayeon and Soyoung Sojeo.”

“……yes?”

“Please come here.”

After making the two women stand next to the podium, he placed the spiritual seal on the floor.

Then, he poured the bowl of water that Sima Yun had brought on his face.

“Please wake up.”

“Phuap!”

Youngseong Dojang, who regained consciousness, looked around hastily.

I grabbed the back of the old master’s head and forced him to look in the direction of the platform.

“It’s time to apologize.”

“What on earth is an apple…!”

thud!

Yeongseong Dojang’s head fell to the ground.

The officers watching from behind flinched their shoulders at the heavy collision sound.

The shock wasn’t as big as it seemed.

This is because it forms a membrane in the inner cavity and protects the forehead.

At least you won’t have your head crushed.

Even so, the pain will not be small.

“I will not make a stereotypical request to apologize sincerely. Anyway, no matter how sincerity you show here, no one will believe that it is sincere.”

“…….”

“But shouldn’t this be arranged in order to satisfy the victims and the dead members?”

Woo Hwayeon made a puzzled expression.

Soyoung, who always looked like a stone and a stone, also reacted as if she didn’t know what to do.

Rather than feeling refreshed, it seemed like he was more worried about what would happen next.

“Hahaha!

On the other hand, Wu Ji-jin smiled loudly and nodded.

I asked him in full tone.

-Is this enough compensation for making you wait for a few days?

-It’s not enough, it’s too much.

-I’m glad to hear that.

-Please take care of me in the future. No, please be kind to me. Boss.

thud!

Once again, he lifted Youngseong Dojang’s head and slammed it on the floor.

The old man, who was trembling, soon became limp.

I poured true energy into his body so that he would not die.

With a wave of his hand, he called out to Samaun and left him to clean up after him.

Wow!

As we slapped our palms together, a heavy wave engulfed the area.

The eyes of the middle school students were all focused on me.

“I would like to apologize to everyone who was surprised by the sudden commotion.”

“…….”

“It’s a little late, but thank you for taking the time to come here.”

He bowed his head politely and gave me a brief explanation of the current situation.

What was the reason for entering the Senate and causing an uproar?

And what was the reason for bringing Yeongseong Dojang here and forcing him to apologize?

Clap clap clap!

When the story was finished, applause was heard from somewhere.

It was noticeable that Hwaseongdo, the master of the jujak, was lightly clapping his hands as if to drive away the gloomy atmosphere.

Starting with that, everyone started clapping.

It didn’t take long for the applause to turn into cheers.

I bowed my head again and thanked them.

‘I hope this soothes the souls of the dead a little.’

* * *

The funeral is over.

“I have something to tell you.”

Chayun Dojang, a great disciple of Hyeonsamun, approached me and spoke to me.

Other disciples were also lined up behind him.

“Please speak. “I will listen.”

“I heard that you are recruiting new members.”

“Are you sure you want to apply?”

“yes. I thought about this when I saw the Daehyeop today. “It would be worthwhile to serve someone like this.”

“…That’s unexpected. I had no idea you felt that way. “It must have been a somewhat shocking sight for an outsider to see.”

“I was surprised, but at the same time, I could understand why the priest believed in and followed the Great Council so much.”

“Your face gets hot when you say that.”

“I want to avenge the dead priest. Of course, with my limited skills, I won’t be able to inflict even a single wound on the Demon Lord’s body, but if I can at least be of some help…” “

Are you okay? Cheonan Inspectorate is a department with a fixed period of activity. “It is far from a stable place to work.”

“It’s rather good. Doesn’t this mean that when everything is over, you can go back to your asceticism with peace of mind?”

Unexpectedly, I encountered my first applicant.

I had a rough idea of Cha Yoon’s skills from the first time I saw him.

The state of fully ripened transcendence.

If he did well, he was someone who could easily be targeted at the Malseok level of a 100-year-old expert.

In terms of status, he was even higher than the deceased Hong Seong-hyeon.

Of course, considering his age, it must be said that Hong Seong-hyun’s real condition was much faster.

“Is Cha Yoon Dojang the only applicant?”

“no. “Everyone here wants to join.”

Wise men are people who are more interested in self-discipline and building virtue than in worldly affairs.

To be honest, I couldn’t sympathize with their values.

I wondered what fun I had in life.

“I understand what you mean.”

One thing was certain.

There is nothing to lose by having these types of people around.

“However, we cannot have everyone as members. All I can give you is a chance. “You will only be able to join the Cheonan Inspector General if you pass a strict screening process.”

Of course, I was planning to make sure that the entrance exam was taken properly.

Not everyone could accept it, even if they were clumsy.

Because I have no intention of making Cheonan Gambu into just a large group.

Needless to say, Chayun Dojang’s skills were at a passing grade, but the rest of his students were not like that.

Whether it’s martial arts or administrative skills.

No matter what abilities they put forward, only those who had proven themselves capable of becoming members of Cheonan Gambu would be able to do so.

“All right.”

Master Xuan’s disciples nodded with a sad look on their faces.

I encouraged them with a soft smile on my face.

* * *

The next morning.

When I was called to the main office, I was caught in the middle of a group of angry elders and was scolded by them.

“The impossible has happened.”

“How can someone who is supposed to protect the rules of the League commit such atrocities? “At this point, I can’t help but question his qualifications as the head of the Cheonan Inspectorate.”

“You’re causing trouble not anywhere else but within the Senate! As if that wasn’t enough, they took away the spiritual seal without even getting approval from the leader! “This is a serious crime that shakes the very foundation of the Murim Alliance!”

The conference room became as noisy as a market floor.

Elders who speak passionately.

With my arms crossed, I listened to what they were saying with one ear and let it go with the other.

I’m sorry to say this to the elders, but there was no sense of crisis at all.

‘There is no substitute for them anyway.’

Didn’t Sohyeongeom say that?

Currently, there are only two warriors in the martial arts faction that can stand against the leader of the cult.

Since there are two people, wouldn’t it be no problem to have one of them removed from office?

That was something that only one person knew and the other two did not know.

Isn’t the other person the teacher who taught me martial arts?

If I were to be at a disadvantage because of this incident, Master would have no intention of staying silent.

I knew my worth.

That’s why he was able to do such a bold thing.

‘Let’s see where and how they try to tie me up.’
