Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 482

Episode 482:

After the Laughing Demon Lord left the living quarters with his subordinates, including the Geodeogwi (巨刀鬼).

Seogunak, who was sitting across from the table, asked me harshly.

“Why did you let him go?”

“Because I decided that would be beneficial to me.”

He must have felt absurd as he risked his life to carry out the operation.

You may feel anxious about what will happen next.

“You might regret it.”

“I think so too.”

Sosalma was a dangerous man.

A network of people that makes self-centered and self-centered demons truly follow him.

In addition, he has skills, brain drive, and courage.

‘Among the disciples of the Demonic Cult, the one who has achieved the highest level is Lord Cheonak. However, in my past life, the person I was most wary of and afraid of, along with my third and fourth executions, was none other than Sosalmagun.’

That’s why I didn’t accept his offer.

Because untrustworthy allies are much more dangerous than enemies.

“…What happens to me now?”

“There’s no need to look so anxious. “I plan to keep my promise.”

“I believe it.”

To put it bluntly, there was no reason to keep Western Gunak under my command any longer.

Tosagupeng (兎死狗烹) was a common occurrence in martial arts.

He could not help but worry that he would be killed in the name of extinction.

“As of today, we will relieve Master Byeok from his position and release him from the unofficial unit. “Go back to the Hongwon family and do whatever you want, whether you want to live with your family or not.”

There was a faint look in Seogunak’s eyes.

Judging by his looks, I felt like he wouldn’t believe anything I said here.

‘There’s no need to clear up any misunderstandings.’

Why would they give you such detailed consideration just because you’re pretty?

I couldn’t help but laugh as I remembered how he couldn’t sleep because of worry all the way to Guangxi.

“Whoa.”

After ordering Seogunak to congratulate him, I let out a long sigh and leaned against the back of my chair.

When I first returned to life, that is, when I went back in time and returned to the body of a ten-year-old child, I had a burning desire for revenge.

How many times have I promised myself that I would never leave the two executioners who drove me to death alone?

But when the opportunity came, I found myself kicking it away.

From a national perspective, is it better to suppress the desire for revenge for a while?

Now that I think about it, the reason is not even funny.

I convinced myself with a fake excuse, but I knew best that the truth was different.

‘I feel more relieved.’

Why was I able to make the decision to let Sosalma go so easily?

Has the desire for revenge faded over time?

Is it because you went through a lot and your state of mind changed?

Did you realize that Sosalma-gun is also a pitiful being who can only resist and struggle against the fate given to him, just like me in my previous life?

It wasn’t everything.

It was a more intuitive and simple reason.

Are you trying to say something like a saint somewhere would say, that revenge is empty and produces nothing?

Do you have the courage to do that?

If I had been a person who sympathized with such foolish words, I would not have felt so much joy at the sight of Youngseong Dojang in despair after losing everything.

‘If you think about it, it’s completely natural.’

When I saw Sosalma Army risking his life to come to me and propose an alliance.

The emotions I felt were bewilderment and surprise.

Not excitement and anger.

‘Revenge is meaningless if the other person does not recognize it. Fun, accomplishment, and satisfaction. ‘Because I can’t feel anything.’

The two executioners who had driven me to death in my past life were now just fictional characters who no longer existed.

I was just looking at them by projecting them onto the current Sosalma and Iron Blood Demons.

Maybe I had already realized that a long time ago.

I just pretended not to know.

‘Human psychology is so…’

Of course, if I encountered Sosalma again, I would take his life without hesitation.

Regardless of Eun-won, it is clear that he is a killer.

‘I guess I’ve cleared up old emotional rifts.’

I stretched and got up from my seat.

Everything is ready.

The time has come to put an end to the long-running war between righteous demons.

* * *

‘What a minister.’

The capital of Sichuan Province.

Hyeongun, the master of the Maehwashingeom (梅花神劍), who climbed the hill and swept away the warriors lined up, had a smile on his face.

The Cheongseong faction (靑城派), the Ami faction (峨嵋派), and the Sichuan Tang family (四川唐家).

As many as three large factions of martial arts factions rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward.

Where is that?

The Hong clan, the Lee clan, Baekryeonjang (白蓮莊), etc.

Influential sects and families in Sacheon also dispatched the main force of the four schools.

Not to mention those who, like the Hwasan faction, lost their homes due to the Demonic Cult and were pushed all the way to Sacheon.

‘How did I end up carrying such a heavy burden?’

The overall command of the allied forces was taken over by Dojang Hyeong-un after a debate.

There were quite a few people who said that Dangbaekgun, a male poisonous spirit with the greatest influence in Sacheon, should take command.

However, the upper echelons of the Allied Forces had no choice but to keep an eye on the Qingcheng faction and the Army faction.

Because the positions of the two factions had to be taken into consideration, Hyeongun Dojang, who did not belong to any of the three major martial powers in Sichuan, was eventually appointed as the leader.

‘The disciples seemed happy.’

A bitter smile appeared on Hyeongun Dojang’s lips.

It wasn’t such a bad thing if you kept in mind the idea of reclaiming Shaanxi and rebuilding the Four Gates.

If the Hwasan faction makes a great contribution in the final battle, their speaking power after the war will increase accordingly.

But with status came responsibility.

It was quite a burden to suddenly assume an important role at an age where it would not be strange to have retired after washing one’s hands with gold powder.

Hyeongun Dojang took a deep breath and calmed down his expression.

It was impossible for the general commander to appear nervous in front of everyone.

He climbed on top of a horse and spoke with confidence in his voice.

“The whole army.”

Even though he wasn’t yelling, the sound was clearly heard in everyone’s ears.

Several people exclaimed in admiration at the amazing technique.

There was no need for long words.

The morale of the Allied forces was already sky-high.

“Corsair.”

Wow!

With a shout that shook the heavens and earth, the Allied forces began moving north.

The curtain has risen on the all-out war that will decide the fate of the martial arts army in the central plains.

* * *

“It’s been a while.”

“I don’t know how long it’s been since we last met face to face like this.”

“I never thought you would come forward yourself. “It must have been a difficult decision.”

“If you cower in fear in front of your enemy, that is not Namgung’s family.”

Hwang Bo-sega’s Gajujeon.

Two middle-aged men sat across from each other at the table.

Namgung-ho, the head of the Namgung family, quietly placed the teacup on the table.

The people around held their breath at the meeting of the giants leading the giant Wulin Sega.

“We have been diligently preparing to welcome guests who come from afar. “There will be no inconvenience in your stay.”

I said it in a nice way, but if you interpret the meaning, it is as follows.

Since the Hwangbose family is already overcrowded, they are told to stay in the lodgings provided outside for a while.

Namgung-ho understood the inner meaning immediately, but did not show any agitation on his face.

“Thank you for your consideration. “I’m tired from the long journey, so can I just go and rest?”

“Let it be so.”

Namgung-ho leaves Gajujeon.

Hwang Bo Se-ju, who bit the guards with a wave of his hand, tilted his tea cup and smiled.

I gave it a quick poke, but there wasn’t even a slight movement.

Even though the King of Swords died and the Changgung Swords, the main force of the family, suffered a blow that was close to annihilation, the Namgung family remained the Namgung family.

‘Namgung-ho. I’ve heard stories, but he’s not an ordinary person.’

I thought I could put my worries aside for now.

At least it seemed that he would not be blinded by a desire for revenge and take sudden action on the battlefield.

‘The martial arts union of Sichuan has begun to move north. ‘I guess I’ll have to move here soon.’

* * *

“Long time no see. “Small cooperative.”

“I don’t know how long it’s been since I last saw you.”

I exchanged warm greetings with the adjutant I had not seen in a while.

Sima Yun (取雲龍).

Having performed the role given to him perfectly, he returned to Maeng’s main team.

Leading a procession of numerous martial people.

“How many people are there?”

“A total of two hundred and forty people. “We selected only those with skills, so it will definitely be a great help.”

Samaun answers questions confidently.

I nodded and looked at the man standing behind me.

Blood red sword.

The head of the Cheonghyeoldomun (淸血刀門) gate.

He was now a Cheonghyeoldomun recognized as a proud member of the political faction.

There were still many people who viewed them in a negative light, but as they made achievements on the battlefield, they would be able to gradually improve their bad impression over time.

“…….”

The woman standing on the other side swallowed dry saliva with a very nervous expression.

It was Yoon Seol-rin, Geumji Ok-yeop (金枝玉葉) of the Yun family.

I heard that the head of the Yun family lost all of the main force of the family due to the Ma Seon, but now claims to be a family affiliated with the Sima family and has a greater influence on the local martial arts than before.

‘Did you say that although military power has decreased, gold power has increased to an incomparable level?’

It could literally be said that it was a case of the knight being brought back to life thanks to standing in line well.

Currently, the main force of Cheonangambu (天眼監部) was lined up around me.

Each and every one of them was a renowned expert throughout the central region.

Yun Seol-lin’s military prowess was only at a mediocre level, as he was positioned in the front line in the name of being a representative dispatched from a family affiliated with the Simase family.

Just like an ordinary person in front of a group of martial arts people with a scary look.

She also seemed to be appalled at the sight of Cheonan Gambu members spouting terrifying prayers.

“……?”

That moment.

I saw clearly.

Yun Seol-lin, whose shoulders were shaking, gently picked up the hem of Sama-un’s clothes.

Seonhye Dojang opened her eyes and glared at her.

‘her.’

Excited breathing.

Cheeks flushed red.

Even though I was clueless, I recognized it right away.

That she has feelings for Simaun.

When I saw her before, her eyes were full of fear as she stared at Sima Yun, but now they were completely full of fear.

I pursed my lips and let out a laugh.

‘What on earth happened all this time?’
