Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 1009

Purpose of Evil (4)

The public ambassador’s speech was heavy because it was sincere and scary because it was confident.

The anti-black warriors gathered in the square eventually had to disperse without being able to save anything. This was because if they tried any further, they would become a faction that rebelled against the Murim Alliance.

‘….’

Gu Il-baek, who was with the scattered warriors, glanced at Lee Gyeol.

The sight of him standing proudly in front of the gate leading to Maengjubu was truly like no other king of heaven in mythology. At least it seemed that way in Nine Ilbaek’s eyes.

He turned his head with a bitter smile.

“Um… former Lord Moon.”

One of the warriors gathered in the square spoke cautiously.

“For now, it would be better to wait and see how things progress.”

Someone took his words.

“Honestly, I didn’t know that the leader himself would come out and say something like that. “How is that enough?”

“That’s right. Maengju, no, Ambassador Gongong, is a good man recognized by everyone. Since you made the announcement yourself, you will have to wait and see for the time being…”

Gu Il Baek shook his head.

“I will go first.”

“Oh yeah.”

In that way, Gu Il-baek left the square with his subordinates.

Heojung, the head of the Sajakwonsa Temple, opened his mouth.

“Lord Moon. First, go back to your home….”

“You guys, go back to your home.”

“yes?”

“I’m going to stop by Namgung Se’s house. “You guys go first.”

“Lord Moon. We will serve you…”

Gu Il-baek looked back at Heo-jung with cold eyes.

Heo Jung quickly lowered his head.

“All right.”

Just like that, the deacons also received nine and one hundred orders and returned to their residence.

Gu Ilbaek, who was alone, walked in the direction of Namgungse.

The road was wide and there were many buildings. However, there were not many people, perhaps because the atmosphere was disturbed by the sudden death of Namgoong Gaju.

How long did it take to walk like that?

“Go and have some tea.”

Nine Ilbaek’s steps stopped.

He turned his head to the left.

There was an unknown building there. It’s probably vacant.

And the voice I heard from there rang clearly in my ears.

Anxiety appeared on Gu Ilbaek’s face.

However, for a moment, he entered the building where the voice came from at a slow pace.

“Are you here?”

Surprisingly, there were Ambassador Gong Gong and Seung Hyeon Jin-in in the main room of the building.

I couldn’t tell when I came here. Even the car was already prepared.

Nine Ilbaek bowed his head.

“I see you, Lord. And Seunghyeonjin too.”

Seunghyeonjinin said with a smile.

“It was brewed with tea leaves from Wudang Mountain. “The flavor may be a bit strong, but the taste will be good.”

“….”

“Please sit down.”

Gu Il-baek, who had been quietly looking at Ambassador Gong and Seung Hyeon-jin, sat across from them.

The public ambassador opened his mouth.

“Old Munju.”

“If you are asking what to do with the anti-black faction warriors, unfortunately I do not have that ability.”

It’s a bit of a mocking tone.

Looking at his eyes, voice, and overall expression, Gu Ilbaek was extremely nervous. And yet, they are saying such things.

It feels like you’re trying hard.

Ambassador Gong Gong, who was quietly watching Gu Il Baek, lightly hit the table with his hand.

Tooung.

A translucent golden glow enveloped the entire building along with a cheerful sound.

Gu Ilbaek’s face became somewhat pale.

In that one moment, a curtain of true energy was placed over this vast space.

It was an incredibly powerful feat. I can’t believe it even after seeing it. I’ve seen Seongcheon’s masters compete with each other, but witnessing that ability right in front of me gave me a different feeling.

“Old Munju.”

The public ambassador’s voice was as deep and clear as when he was giving a speech.

“We haven’t met often, but I thought Gu Mun-ju was a person who was more of a political activist than anyone else.”

“….”

“I have heard many rumors that you are a cautious and consultative warrior. “But when I met him in person, I didn’t think he was as noble and good a person as I heard.”

Seunghyeonjinin looked at Ambassador Gong with surprised eyes.

However, the ambassador’s words seemed to have put Guilbaek’s mind at ease. A small smile appeared on Gu Ilbaek’s pale face.

“Is that so?”

“exactly. “But I thought he was truly a human being.”

“….”

“Not all of us who call ourselves Baekdo political faction need to be noble and good people. Rather, I hope that there will be more people like Koo Mun-ju, who have flaws and are greedy, but who know how to let go of their own greed and act for others.”

This was said not as a follower of Buddhism, but as a leader.

“I have flaws and greed…”

Gu Il-baek, who was muttering as if he was thinking over the words of Gong Gong, closed his eyes.

“Are you investigating me?”

“We have started a deep investigation since you were part of the anti-black faction.”

“….”

“I couldn’t find out what happened in Gu Mun-ju’s past. “But I knew that you were a person like everyone else.”

“…I see.”

“I think the story will get longer if I add more, so I’ll start with the main point.”

The ambassador’s eyes grew cold.

“Who?”

“….”

“I looked at the life that former Munju lived and saw his disposition. “Gu Munju is a person who knows very well what consequences his actions will bring to Meng.”

“Meng…”

“Furthermore, I don’t think you are the type of person who would do something like this. However, since he came to the forefront and ignited a fire, I had no choice but to think of two cases.”

“….”

“Either the former Munju has gone crazy or he is being threatened by someone.”

Seunghyeonjinin looked at the public ambassador with stern eyes.

He wasn’t so bad at public speaking that he would openly ask people in front of them if they were crazy.

This meant that he would properly investigate this matter as a leader.

“There is no way that the former Lord Mun, who had a deep sense of discipline and was revered by Shaanxi martial arts practitioners, would have gone crazy.”

“….”

“Who? “What on earth happened?”

Ninety-one hundred eyes were bloodshot.

“I…”

“I know that you sent your subordinates on purpose.”

“…!”

“I’m sure they weren’t sent there to do something secretly. It seems to me that Gu Mun-ju is hoping that someone will recognize her situation and save her.”

“….”

“Wrong?”

The ambassador’s words were as sharp as an awl.

And what he said was true. Nine Ilbaek was actually in a semi-desperate situation.

Gu Il-baek, who was quietly watching the public speech, took a sip of tea.

What Seunghyeonjinin said was true. The scent was a bit strong, but the taste was very good. As soon as the hot tea poured in, I felt my mind calming down.

After drinking tea, Gu Ilbaek, who had been looking down at his teacup for a long time, opened his mouth a moment later.

“It started as a kite buju.”

“…?”

“I ordered my subordinates to bring Yeon Sobuju with them. “As politely as possible.”

“I know because I heard it.”

Nine Ilbaek laughed bitterly.

“He refused.”

“It has to be that way.”

“I understand. “It was right after what happened with Jeok Chang-moon, so you must have wanted to get involved in something complicated like Yeon Sobu-ju.”

Seunghyunjin’s eyes deepened.

Gu Ilbaek continued speaking with a bitter smile.

“I heard that Yeon Sobuju is quicker than anyone else. So I thought you would figure it out if you talked to me.”

“Which one?”

“…My condition.”

“situation?”

“I wanted to at least hint before the situation.”

“what?”

“The King of Namgung told me not to go to his side.”

At that moment, Ambassador Gong Gong and Seung Hyeon-jin’s eyes wavered.

This statement by Gu Il-baek in itself shook up this incident.

Gu Ilbaek knew that Namgungin would die. And I knew that Yeon Ho-jeong would eventually go to the Namgung family.

“‘He’ told me. Yeon Sobuju said he was heading to Namgung House. “Either sooner or later.”

“Who the hell is ‘he’?”

“….”

“Gu Munju.”

“It’s because of me.”

“…?”

“It’s all my fault. “I lived wrongly.”

“Gu Munju, please calm down and speak. “How could he…”

“I assassinated my brother and poisoned my father.”

“…?!”

“It was carried out without anyone knowing. “I couldn’t bear to see my younger brother who was better than me, and I couldn’t bear my father’s gaze that looked at me like an insect.”

“…!!”

“Furthermore, my father’s words that told me to give up everything I had learned at Sajamun and leave if I did not become the lord of the clan stimulated my fear.”

Gu Il Baek’s chin protruded.

“It was a perfect crime. No one knows. At least that was the case until ‘he’ showed up.”

It was a terrifying truth.

No one would have thought that Munju, a renowned Cheongsa advisor, would have committed such an immoral act in his youth.

“I wanted to be a good person. “I thought that if I exercised good influence, my sins would be forgiven.”

“….”

“It was ridiculous. “Even if you have done ten thousand good deeds, how can the immoral person who killed his brother and father live with his head raised and looking at the sky?”

“…Gu Munju.”

“In the end, my evil deeds from 30 years ago have come back to me.”

Nine Ilbaek was now talking about his sins that he had not told anyone about.

The public ambassador asked calmly.

“Are you saying that the ‘he’ that former Munju was talking about used that as an excuse to threaten him?”

“That’s right.”

“Did you have evidence?”

It’s not something that can be said easily from a humane perspective, but as a leader, I had to know at least how he was threatened.

“There was none.”

“…?!”

“He had no evidence. “If there had been such evidence, would I have been able to live and breathe safely until now?”

“They are making threats without any evidence….”

“Yes. There is no evidence. ‘He’ just knew it.”

Gu Ilbaek’s bloodshot eyes looked like they were about to burst out with blood at any moment.

“And he made me aware of that. “That’s it.”

“…!”

“I do not know. Why did I act like this? “I talked to him and from then on I became a person who didn’t know what was right.”

The public ambassador could not bear to continue speaking.

Seunghyeonjinin cautiously opened his mouth.

“Is that why you did what he told you to do?”

“I ordered it… I never ordered it verbally.”

“…?”

“I just understood it. No, I accepted it.”

“What do you mean?”

“The world was originally chaotic.”

Nine Ilbaek’s fists turned white.

His face became increasingly blank.

“It’s not me that’s wrong, but the world that’s wrong.”

“…?!”

“I didn’t do anything wrong… he told me so.”

It was that moment.

The ambassador’s eyes lit up.

“Stop!”

Wooooow!

The true nature of the infinite power took possession of Gu Il Baek’s body.

But it was late. Before I knew it, blood was flowing from Gu Ilbaek’s nose and mouth.

“Oh no!”

Seung Hyun Jin-in quickly hugged Gu Il-baek’s collapsing body.

The public ambassador’s response was dazzlingly fast. Thanks to this, only half of the heart vein ruptured.

Of course, death did not change. He only escaped instant death.

“Gu Munju! Old Munju! Come to your senses!”

“…Seunghyeonjinin.”

“Yes, I’m Seunghyeon!”

Nine Ilbaek’s eyes gradually became cloudy.

“For a person… to fall into madness for one day… no, one incident is enough…”

“Gu Munju!”

“The world… why on earth am I…”

Tears flowed from Gu Il Baek’s eyes.

“Even if I die, I don’t want to see my brother and father…”

That was the end of it.

Life began to drain from Gu Ilbaek’s body as he lowered his head.

“What on earth is going on?”

Seung Hyun Jin-in, who was dumbfounded, just looked down at Gu Il-baek with blank eyes.

Ambassador Gong Gong placed his hand on Gu Il-baek’s forehead with a somber expression.

“It’s not a technique like seobunjutsu.”

“….”

“It’s just…suicide.”
