Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 525

Episode 525:

The long political war has ended.

The terrible war has ended and a period of peace has finally arrived in Murim.

Qinghai’s Kunlun, Gansu’s joint, Shaanxi’s volcano, Shanxi’s Xinchangyang family, Hebei’s Peng family, etc.

The Murim faction, who had lost their home due to the Demonic Religion, built a building by building a collapsed wall.

The Murim Alliance supported them as they worked hard to regain their past power and influence.

“It’s been quite a while since we’ve all been together like this.”

They were not the only ones busy with post-war processing.

The headquarters of the Murim Alliance located in Honam.

I gathered all the members on the first floor of the Cheonan Gambu base, made eye contact with each and every one of them, and praised them for their hard work.

“I will never forget the time I spent with you, Manager.”

“I will also remember the time I spent with you.”

My mind felt dull.

Even though I knew this day would come someday, I felt somewhat sad.

Cheonan Inspector General is a department with a set period of activity.

Now that the Ma Clan Master has died and the Great War of the Demons has ended, it is time to disband the department.

Chayun Dojang, a former disciple of Hyeonsamun (賢士門), bowed his head.

“Mr. Hyeonsa-moon will not forget your kindness.”

“Grace. “On the contrary, I was helped.”

“I know because I heard the news from a monk. “I heard that you helped me recover the treasure left behind by the founder of Hyeonsamun.”

“I just did what I had to do. “Isn’t it impossible to just ignore injustice?”

Even though I said it to myself, my face got hot.

He spoke as if he were some kind of apostle of justice, but if the person who was falsely accused and chased away was not a disciple of Hyeonsamun, he would have passed by without paying any attention.

At that time, the reason I saved Baekhyun Dojo was only for self-satisfaction.

“Warrior Bang, what are you going to do next?”

“I don’t have any specific plans, but I’m thinking of going through the withdrawal process first. “I think my wife and I can go on a sightseeing trip and relax.”

Changmyeonggung Bangcheoksam placed his hand on the shoulder of the woman standing next to him.

The woman, Yeo So-ok, hugged his waist as if she had been waiting.

I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of the couple having fun with each other.

“There is no need to be harsh. I would like to exchange friendly greetings at the end. Please speak comfortably as before.”

“Of course. “It was an honor to be with a hero like you.”

Although we only exchanged a few words, it became clear that the time to part ways was approaching.

He was someone I became friends with after curing Yeo So-ok, who was suffering from a mental illness, and stayed with me for a long time in the name of repaying my kindness.

I felt lonely thinking that it would be difficult to see his face from now on.

Yeo So-ok, who was looking at me and Bang Cheok-sam while we were paying respects to each other, suddenly intervened and said.

“I’ll come back to see your face later. “Can’t I treat you poorly?”

“How can you treat me so poorly?”

Yeo So-ok occupied the position of Baekdae Gosu, a position that had become vacant due to the long war.

Not to mention her skill, it was a natural step since people in the world recognized her performance on the battlefield.

In addition to her, there were several members of the Cheonan Gambu who had newly become white experts.

Representative examples were Seo Ho-seon, Maeng Gyeong, and Hwang Ho-jin.

‘Even if Seo Ho-seon and Maeng Gyeong, who are experts in flower painting, said so, Hwang Ho-jin was surprising.’

In the final battle, Hwang Ho-jin made a contribution by defeating Chuhyeoldo, a demonic cult member of the Cheonmagung Palace.

Although he is skilled, he is a demon who is widely known for his cruelty and enjoys turning the bodies of his killed opponents into beehives.

Because he was such a notorious figure, the name value of Hwang Ho-jin, who overpowered him, rose quickly.

The person concerned shook his head, saying that he was just lucky, but his skills were not up to his level, but people in the world were already classifying him as one of the top 100 masters and praising him.

“Warrior Wu, please take good care of me in the future as well.”

“You mean this?”

“Don’t secretly take advantage of the mood and say nothing. “Samurai, you will have to work under me from now on.”

“All right.”

Woo Ga-jin replies with a smirk.

He was a person who could never let down his or her guard.

If I disbanded the Cheonan Government and entered the Senate, I would have to create my own new force.

When the royal guard is formed with other elders, Wu Ga-jin will take on the role of leader leading them.

Excluding me, he is none other than the highest prisoner in the Cheonan government.

Isn’t there a sound ghost?

Having achieved all her goals, she went through the withdrawal process one step ahead of Bangcheoksam.

It seemed that he wanted to return to the Yue family in Jiangsu and spend the rest of his life quietly watching the family change.

On the other hand, her disciple Baek Ri-seon decided to remain in the Murim Alliance and continue to be with me.

For reference, he received a new nickname, Eumryong (音龍) instead of Miryong (美龍), as he had hoped.

“I will contact Musa Yu separately later.”

“If a seat is available, please call me.”

Yoo So-hwa and Yeong Jin-hwan, key figures in the Cheonan Gambu administrative team, would also continue to work under me.

Even though Yoo So-hwa is in a romantic relationship with Seo Ho-seon, it was surprising that Young Jin-hwan voluntarily came to see me and asked me for a favor.

Although we have had a close relationship since our days working at the Sacheon branch, from his perspective, he must have had many painful and difficult memories.

“And your last name is…”

“I promise. “I will repay your expectations.”

“older brother?”

“I think you have a little more weight than me. Is it awkward?”

“No, it’s a title. You can call me whatever you feel comfortable with.”

Dokgo-seong smiles bravely.

Suddenly he turned his head to the side.

Lee Soo-yeon, who had been glancing at his profile out of the corner of her eye, was startled and turned her head.

Dokgo-seong let out a meaningful laugh and stretched as if to say something.

After the battle at Banghyeon (房縣), the relationship between the two men became significantly closer.

They were a couple that gave me a happy feeling just by looking at them.

If Cheonan Gambu was disbanded, Dokgo-seong would take a different path from me.

It was not my intention to go through the process of resigning like Bang Cheok-sam and Yeo So-ok.

He had grand aspirations that he wanted to achieve as a leader of the Murim League.

“You two, please return home carefully.”

“I hope we can meet again.”

“I learned a lot while working at the Cheonan Inspectorate. Even if I go back to being a monk, I will not forget what I learned here.”

Two young monks who give very different answers.

Unlike the Cheonwoo Dojo, which used the Hao script as if waiting, the Changin Dojo maintained a polite tone until the end.

In addition, he exchanged farewells with Botaam’s sword concubine and Hwagon Daeju of the Guangdong Jin family.

The once bustling room became empty as the sun began to set in the evening.

* * *

Tap, tap, tap.

Inside the carriage heading to Guizhou.

Changin Dojang, a young Taoist monk who was looking out the window, blurted out.

“Cheonwoo Dojo. “I will make the Jeomchang sect the best sect in the world.”

“……?”

“What I said a few days ago to the Cheonan Inspector General, or the Dragon King, were not empty words at all. “I really learned a lot while working at Cheonan Inspectorate.”

“May I ask why you are suddenly saying that to me?”

“I realized it. “What is lacking in the current Jeomchang school and the meaning of the expression Jang Mun-in sometimes made when looking at me.”

“What do you want to say?”

“Although they are the same old school, people in the world value the Hwasan school more highly than the Jeomchang school. “Because we had more students and even produced absolute experts.”

“…….”

“After I become a scholar, that evaluation will be overturned.”

“It won’t be easy.”

“I assure you. “I will be able to surpass not only the Hwasan faction but also the Shaman faction and Shaolin faction.”

Dojang Cheonwoo burst into laughter.

A statement that goes beyond being confident and feels even maniacal.

This was not something to say to a disciple of a sect that had just begun reconstruction.

“It would be best not to take the Volcanic Sect too lightly. “It’s not an easy sect that can barely be considered a passing point.”

“I’ve never seen you so lightly.”

“I will also tell you here. “If I succeed Master and take the position of Plum God Sword, the Hwasan Sect will enter an unprecedented heyday.”

“…….”

“If you want to overtake somewhere, try to overtake. “If possible.”

The gazes of the two Taoists collided in the air, sparks flying.

The Cheonwoo Dojo was scheduled to head to Shaanxi via Sichuan, and the Changin Dojo was scheduled to head to Yunnan.

The conversation between the two monks continued until they reached the halfway point and parted ways.

* * *

“I think this is my first time greeting you formally like this. father.”

“…….”

“Don’t you have something to say to me?”

Jangwon Seonyejang (鮮好莊) located on the northern outskirts of Changsha (長沙).

There were complex emotions in the old master’s eyes as he stared at the face of the man sitting across from him.

Hojin Hwang.

A member of the Cheonan Prison Enforcement Team.

A master recognized by everyone who has newly taken the last place among the top 100 masters.

“A lot has changed since I haven’t seen you. “He deserves to be recognized as a 100-year-old master.”

“I never even thought about it. “My father was an elder of the Joint Sect and an elder of the Murim Alliance.”

The old Taoist Namhakgeom (嵐虐劍) bowed his head.

A feeling that cannot be expressed in words tore through my heart.

As a dishonest parent, I could not make direct eye contact with my child.

“Do you blame me?”

“It would be a lie if I said I didn’t resent it.”

“…….”

“I wanted to be successful and be recognized by everyone so that my father would look back on me.”

“Congratulations. “The purpose has been achieved.”

“I will ask again. “Don’t you have something to say to me?”

A question that leaves no room for avoidance and contains the will to hear the answer.

A heavy silence fell.

Namhakgeom, who had been silent for a while, let out a long sigh and then spoke.

“I… cannot acknowledge you as my child.”

“…!”

“I’m sorry. “You will not get any answers you want from me now.”

Hwang Ho-jin bit his lips tightly.

The blood dripped down his chin and dripped onto the table.

I had some expectations.

Even if he shows up as a success to show off, his father’s attitude will not change dramatically.

But even so, I couldn’t help but feel negative emotions welling up.

“So, can you wait a moment?”

“……?”

Namhakgeom’s words that followed were of a type he had never thought of.

Nam Hak-geom, who raised his head with difficulty, made direct eye contact with Hwang Ho-jin and said.

“I will relinquish my position as an elder. “I will accept it even if I am excommunicated and no longer a disciple of the communal sect.”

“…What did you say just now?”

“But that time shouldn’t be now. “At least until the communal faction stands on the rock and lays the foundation to regain its past glory, I must remain in my position.”

Hwang Ho-jin’s expression became blank.

I began to doubt whether the situation I was experiencing was real.

“As an elder of the communal sect, I must fulfill my responsibilities as a representative of the sect and someone who exerts influence on the Murim Alliance. “You should not and cannot arbitrarily let go of the things you carry on your shoulders.”

“…….”

“So, give us a reprieve. “When the time comes, I will come to you, kneel down and apologize.”

Dew formed in the eyes of Hwang Ho-jin, who had been frozen like a stone statue.

The tears that flowed mixed with blood drops and turned red.

The two just stared at each other endlessly for a while.
