Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 337:

The Sword King quietly approached me, tapped my shoulder and said.

“We’ll do the chase, so you can just rest.”

“That can’t be possible. “If I’m left out here…”

“I know it’s because of regret, but my injured body will only get in the way.”

I chewed my lip and lowered my head.

It was correct in every detail.

The injuries sustained during the fierce battle with the Demon Cultist were not minor.

My ribs were broken, my organs were damaged, and my body’s energy was unstable and seething.

Right now, I can’t feel any pain because I’m extremely excited, but it won’t be long before there are huge aftereffects.

“It seems like the target the Demon Cult Master wants to kill first is you.”

“…….”

“If your injuries worsen during the chase and the cult leader notices and counterattacks, the worst could happen.”

“…….”

“We cannot stand by and watch as Shin Seong, who is responsible for the future of the Jungwon martial arts group, is sacrificed in vain. “Can’t you trust us now?”

“All right.”

My stomach was boiling.

I was angry at myself for not being able to do anything in this situation.

It was all my fault.

‘It was a golden opportunity to put an end to the war between political enemies.’

If only I had been a little stronger.

Unless you were injured in the fight with the cult leader.

If you had quickly defeated the White Bone Demon Emperor before then and finished it off for sure.

Even though I knew it was a meaningless assumption, I couldn’t help but keep thinking about ‘what if’.

The Sword King, the King of Gwon, and the reorganized warriors of the chase team left the clearing and walked away.

As I quietly stared at the back, I collected the bodies of the dead along with the injured and prepared to descend the mountain.

* * *

To conclude, the cult leader leisurely escaped the siege and returned to the Demon Cult’s sphere of influence.

‘I feel dizzy.’

A room in the Murim League Jiangsu branch.

I sighed after reading the letter the branch manager brought me.

If I think about it now, the sect leader must have thought of the White Bone Demon Emperor as a kind of insurance from the beginning.

It must have been because he was mindful of his presence that he showed such a calm demeanor even while receiving a triple-digit number of warriors.

‘It’s so hot.’

In other words, everyone, including me, was filled with vain hopes and engaged in a battle with the Demon Cult leader.

Not even knowing that it was playing in the palm of his hand.

‘He didn’t even look tired until the end. ‘What a fucking monster.’

I could still vividly recall in my mind the image of Ma Jiao-ju looking at me with regret before taking the Sima Xuan and running away.

Many people were killed or injured.

Nearly half of the members of the Hwangbo family’s Cheonwangdae died, including the head lord, Hwang Bohun.

Nearly twenty members of the Baekrangdae (白狼隊) died, and the chieftain, Ak Yeo-ryeong, fell into an unconscious and critical condition.

Many of the Cheonan Gambu members were also injured.

Dojang Cheonwoo and Dojang Changin suffered severe internal injuries and were being recuperated, and Sawooyeon lost the middle and ring fingers of her left hand.

Yeo So-ok, who was engulfed in the demonic energy emitted by the demonic leader, was suffering from high fever, dizziness, and vomiting.

I heard that Bangcheoksam was anxiously taking care of her.

The good news is that there were no deaths.

Thanks to the high level of each member of the team mobilized for the chase, we were able to avoid suffering a serious injury.

‘The number of people was small to begin with, and they participated in the battle late. Even taking that into account, it is undeniable that I was lucky.’

I thought it was a good decision to leave Dok Go-seong and Lee Soo-yeon behind in Sima Family.

What if two inexperienced people jumped into the fight against the Demon Cultist?

Most likely, he would have lost his life.

He almost drove the new members who had just been accepted as members to their deaths.

‘In the end, Sima Seju also missed it.’

I thought it was going to be a pain in the future.

If Sima Seo-hwan began to turn prisoners into Jingshi and send them to the battlefield, the aspect of the war would change significantly.

Of course, in the future it will be difficult to supply radish to be used as an ingredient in ginger poetry.

‘Because soon the rumor will spread throughout the central plains.’

< Sama Shigeju perfected the forbidden secret arts. >

< When a warrior with outstanding skills is captured by the Demonic Cult, he is brainwashed and becomes a jiangshi. > When

this news spreads, the warriors of the White Islands will also prepare their own countermeasures. It was there.

If you don’t know, you can prepare.

Perhaps the perception that it is better to commit suicide than to be captured alive may spread.

It is unlikely that a master who has reached absolute heights like Chang Gui will become a ginger city.

‘Still, we managed to subdue the White Bone Demon Emperor and the Shandong Akga safely settled in Jiangsu, so we achieved more results than originally planned.’

I decided not to think too negatively.

Due to this incident, the entire Baekdo Martial Forest became alert to the person named Ma Gyoju.

In some ways, it could be said to be fortunate.

What if the Demon Lord had appeared in a more critical situation, inflicting devastating damage on the Baekdo martial arts team?

There would have been so many casualties that it could not be compared to the previous day.

‘The doctor who examined Ak Yeo-ryeong also said that her life would not be in danger.’

It was unlikely that the Demonic Cult Master would ever stir up Baekdo’s sphere of influence again.

In the first place, he was a person who was in a position where he should not have committed such a reckless act.

It was the same reason why Joo Hwa-baek could not freely leave the battlefield and stand at the forefront of the battlefield.

It was not for nothing that the Demonic Cultist had not appeared in the forefront for some time.

What if he suddenly dies while active on the front line?

The Demonic Cult that had lost its central point would have been torn apart into four parts.

‘In that respect, the Murim Alliance might be better.’

If Joo Hwa-baek died, the entire Murim Alliance would be in chaos for a while, but over time, a new leader would eventually be appointed and stabilization would be achieved.

On the other hand, the Demonic Cult ended as soon as its leader disappeared.

If he is not there, who will control and lead the eight great demon armies that can go wherever they want?

The religious leader has not even decided who will become the minor religious leader.

“…….”

I put down the letter and frowned slightly.

The pain felt as if my internal organs were being stabbed by a sharp needle.

The injuries suffered by Demon Cultist had not yet healed.

Recovery was slower than I thought.

This was a passage that showed how terrible the energy accumulated through Heavenly Demon Heart Gong (天魔心功) possessed.

Even I, who had a high level of recovery that was incomparable to others thanks to the supernormal ability of the White Thunder God, was like this, so there was no need to worry about what other people were like.

I took a deep breath and slowly got up from my seat.

Then, he took the jar he had thrown on the bed and left the room.

‘No, it should be called Shandong, now it should be called Jiangsuak family. As the Ak family’s long-cherished wish was fulfilled, there was no longer any reason for Ak Yeo-ryeong to work under Namhak-geom (嵐虐劍).’

Until now, their interests were aligned.

Namhakgeom needed a way to raise his lowered position as the communal faction collapsed, and Ak Yeo-ryeong had to join hands with those in power to revive the family.

The two sides had no choice but to promise cooperation, and the two sides were never on the same page.

‘First of all, since he has declared something, it is unlikely that the evil girl will go through the procedure of resigning.’

It was unclear whether she would continue to serve as the head of the White Dragon.

Not a short amount of time had passed, so Namhakgeom would have found a way to survive on her own, and there was no need for her to continue to act as an elder’s hand and foot.

‘But now it’s just as ambiguous to start again from scratch.’

Let’s say Ak Yeo-ryeong resigns from his position as Baekrangdaeju.

Is there any existing department that will accept her?

First of all, the Cheonan Inspectorate and Torpedo Squadron had to be left out.

Mi-ryong’s application to Cheonan-gambu and Eumgwi’s application to Cheonan-gambu had different weight.

Inevitably, those who were concerned that the power of Cheonan Gambu was growing too much would put a check on it.

‘In the end, the choice is up to the evil girl. ‘No matter what decision she makes, the ramifications will not be small.’

It took some time to move across the hallways of the branch.

An old man appeared on the other side.

The identity of the old monk holding prayer beads in his left hand is Master Yeongwoon.

He was the master of the Shaolin Temple and an absolute master who held the first rank of Lee Jon.

‘Why is the Buddha here? Did you disband the pursuit party and come straight for me?’

Of course, I thought he would have returned to Hanam, but I felt a little embarrassed when he appeared in front of me like this.

[I brought my old body all the way to Ye because I wanted to meet the disciple of the benefactor who saved my life. I don’t know if it was a satisfactory answer.]

It seems that the answer I gave to the Demon Cultist earlier was not just empty words.

I bowed my head politely.

“I meet senior Buddha.”

“Where are you going with your immature body?”

“I came out to have a quick drink. “I was confined to my room for a few days…”

I couldn’t say that I was going to Haomun to make a request, so I just made up the words.

Fortunately, the Buddha only nodded and did not show any sign of doubt.

He looked at me as if he was curious and said.

“It must not have been a minor injury, but it seems to have improved a lot since then. “It’s incredible resilience.”

“I guess I’m a bit strong.”

“If you’re not busy, could you spare some time?”

“I will give you as much as I want.”

How could I refuse?

This is a request from Buddha and no one else.

I went back the way I came and let Master Yeongun into the guest room.

When I offered a seat and was about to bring tea, he gestured with his hand as if to dissuade me.

“It is done. It might be uncomfortable, so there’s no need to be so polite. Come and sit down.”

“No matter what, shouldn’t you serve a cup of tea to your guests?”

“Are you going to be stubborn in front of me?”

“…….”

If you don’t listen, they will force you to stop them.

As I sat across from him with a wry smile, the Buddha rolled the prayer beads in his hand and began to chant.

“I’m sorry. Unfortunately, I missed the leader.”

“It’s not your fault, senior.”

“Is your teacher doing well?”

“yes.”

“I wandered around the midfield looking for talented people, but I never thought I would bring in such a great student. “I envy that kid, Dokgo Woojin.”

What a child.

It was a truly unsuitable title.

The only person in the entire central plains who could call Master that way was the old monk in front of me.

“That’s too much praise.”

“There is nothing to be humble about. In the history of martial arts, there has never been a martial artist who reached absolute heights at the age of twenty-five. “You can be a little more proud of your accomplishments.”

“When you praise me like that, I don’t know what to do.”

“You said that to the supervisor, right? “I’m thinking of visiting Shaolin Temple sometime.”

“yes?”

“Did you just say it as a courtesy?”

“Is that possible?”

I shook my head with an awkward expression.

I had completely forgotten about it until I heard the question.

A conversation I had with a former employee came to mind.

[Now that I think about it, there is one thing I would like to ask of Gamwon.]

[Please tell me. I will accept anything as long as it is not unreasonable.]

[Actually, I have admired the reputation of a divine monk for a long time. I would like to visit the Shaolin Temple and meet you, sir. Could you please arrange a table for me?]

Master Youngwoon asked with a gentle smile on his lips.

“Why don’t you stop by the Shaolin Temple before returning to Meng’s headquarters?”
