Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 181:

He was truly an energetic old man.

I caused such serious injuries.

Looking at the way he was pushing Hong Seong-hyun like an angry beast, his physical condition seemed to have improved considerably.

I quickly walked up to the two people and asked.

“Is there a problem.”

“Branch manager!”

Hong Seong-hyeon had a happy expression on his face.

It seemed like he had suffered quite a bit, as he could see the fatigue on his face.

“…….”

Hyukseong Dojang, who was looking slightly embarrassed, glanced at Hong Seonghyeon with a disapproving look.

He then turned Shinhyeong around and walked away.

“We’ll discuss this again later.”

I clicked my tongue inwardly as I stared at the back of the old master walking away.

His mischievous personality still remained.

Although he looked ten years older than the last time I saw him.

“You must have been through a lot.”

“…I was a little distracted.”

As I looked at Hong Seong-hyun sighing and shaking his head, I felt sorry for him.

I went that way to the office and received a report on what had happened.

“So, the disciples of the Kunlun Sect have been making unreasonable demands every day?”

“yes.”

To briefly summarize Hong Seong-hyeon’s story, it was as follows.

Hyeokseong, who was severely injured, eventually gave up taking the patients with him and joining the communal faction.

After having enough time to rest, they decided to leave for Gansu in the spring of the following year.

It was good up to this point.

The problem arose when students of the Kunlun Sect who stayed at the branch for a long time began to voice their dissatisfaction one by one.

It wasn’t too much of a stretch.

Currently, the disciples of the Kunlun Sect were in a position where they could not freely roam around the outside world.

This was because he was disliked by the Sacheondang family after wandering all over Seongdo in search of the culprit who attacked the Hyeokseong Dojang.

I can’t help but feel frustrated as the energetic warriors are confined within the branch.

‘So you’re taking out your anger on the branch’s leaders?’

Of course, Hyukseong Dojang was at the center of those who committed evil acts.

Is it because he believes that the gunman who attacked him is related to me?

It seemed like he mistreated Hong Seong-hyeon every chance he got.

‘This is outrageous.’

When the owner of the house was away, the guests took over as kings.

It was obvious how much hardship Hong Seong-hyeon and other blind followers must have endured.

“Then what issue does the discussion that Dojang Hyukseong mentioned a moment ago relate to?”

“They asked me to extend the time they can use the training hall.”

“Please tell me in a little more detail.”

“As you know, branch leader, there are not many spaces within the Sacheon branch where you can practice martial arts to your heart’s content. “In particular, if a large number of people want to train together, they must use a sponsored training center.”

“Have the disciples of the Kunlun Sect requested that they be allowed to use the training hall?”

“yes. Not long after the branch manager left on a business trip, a local disciple came to ask for a favor. So, we decided to open the training hall during morning hours.”

“Well done.”

“The problem is that the disciples of the Kunlun Sect were not satisfied there.”

“…….”

“They were being unreasonable, saying that since they had a large number of people, the time spent using the training hall should be longer.”

“her.”

A laugh escaped me.

They say that if the favor continues, it is considered a right.

‘I fed them, put them to sleep, and took care of them, but they didn’t know how grateful I was.’

I wanted to immediately storm into the lodgings where the Kunlun sect’s disciples were staying and start throwing sticks at them, but the priority was to complete the handover.

After reading through the report Hong Seong-hyeon brought, I nodded and gave the order to congratulate the guests.

‘How on earth should I cook these?’

I leaned against the back of the chair and thought for a while.

I glanced at the presence outside the door.

The door to the office opened and Damwoon appeared.

For some reason, his expression wasn’t very good.

“Is there a problem.”

“Have you received the report from Hong Sohyeop?”

“I heard that the Kunlun Sect’s disciples are causing trouble.”

“The story about Young Sohyeop being assaulted….”

“What does that mean?”

I narrowed my eyes and straightened my posture.

A disciple of the Kunlun sect assaulted a branch warrior.

It was a story that could not be overlooked or passed over.

“It looks like Hong Sohyeop didn’t talk about it that far.”

“Tell me in detail.”

“It is said that four days ago, an argument broke out between the Yi Dae disciples of the Kunlun Sect and the Young Xiaoxiao.”

“Did that lead to a fist fight?”

“yes. “They said that the Young Sohyeop, which had relatively poor martial arts skills, was beaten unilaterally.”

Jinhwan Young.

A skinny young man wearing a sad face.

He had been working at the Sacheon branch even before I was assigned to it.

I didn’t really have a good impression of him.

However, he was definitely a monk who belonged to the Sacheon branch and was my subordinate.

He has also been a person who has quietly performed his role without causing a single problem since I was appointed as the branch manager.

“Where is the Young Small Cooperative now?”

“I am being treated by a doctor in a separate room.”

“I need to see you right away.”

“I will guide you.”

* * *

When I entered the separate room, Young Jin-hwan greeted me with a very embarrassed expression.

“Just lie there. “You don’t have to strain your body.”

After stopping him as he desperately tried to get up, I asked the doctor about his physical condition.

The congressman looked at me carefully and explained in a calm voice.

“All necessary measures have been taken. However, it will likely take some time for the broken bones to heal.”

“You mean you broke a bone?”

“yes. “My left leg…”

When I removed the blanket covering it, I saw that there was indeed a splint on my left leg.

A heavy silence fell.

Young Jin-hwan, who was silently observing me, spoke in a quiet voice.

“Branch manager. I am okay. “The treatment was completed successfully and there will be no aftereffects.”

“Who is doing this?”

“yes?”

“I’m asking who exactly is the person who assaulted the small cooperative.”

We tried to resolve the issue as amicably as possible.

Force had already been mobilized once to quell Hyukseong’s rampage.

If we went any further, we could have completely lost sight of the Kunlun faction.

‘but.’

The disciples of the Kunlun Sect crossed a line.

How on earth did you look so down on me and my subordinates that you assaulted a leader within the branch?

Let’s say it’s possible to make a hundred concessions and cause an incident to occur.

Because it could have been an accident.

‘There are no other injuries other than a broken leg. This means that the Taoist monks who were fighting originally intended to engage in hand-to-hand combat.’

The problem was that the student in question was not punished nor did the Kunlun Sect provide a formal apology.

There has to be a certain amount of internal envelopment.

Does it make sense to try to ignore such an important issue?

“That…”

“Please don’t hesitate to speak. “I’m thinking of attacking the lodgings where the Kunlun sect’s disciples are staying right now.”

“yes?”

“This is an order.”

Youngjinhwan shrugged his shoulders and swallowed.

He knew it, having already experienced it once.

What happens when I decide to use force?

“It’s a school seal.”

“All right. Please rest.”

I brushed my sword and left the separate room with quick steps.

These damn bastards.

I will replace every single one of you.

* * *

Kwajangchang!

“What the hell!”

“Sacheon Branch Manager?! “What on earth is this?”

The disciples of the Kunlun Sect let out cries of horror and picked up their respective weapons.

Instead of responding to him, I walked up to the young Taoist who was pinned against the wall and squatted down in front of him.

“School month seal.”

“…….”

“Do you know why I am doing this to the seal?”

“Are you here because of something related to the Yeoyoung Small Cooperative? If that’s the case…”

Voila!

The moment the swung palm touched the cheek, a light hitting sound rang out.

Hakwol Dojang held his cheek and made a blank expression.

I swung my hand again and hit his cheek.

Wow!

This time, unlike before, there was a dull noise.

The new version of Hakwol Dojo was lying limp on the ground.

By covering his cheek with his hand, he was able to avoid having his teeth pulled out, but he still looked horrendous.

Chachaechaechaeng!

Kunlun’s disciples all drew their swords and pointed them at me.

I slowly got up from my seat, looked around, and asked.

“Where has the elder gone?”

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden!”

“I’ll take that question back to you. “Are you asking because you really don’t know?”

“…….”

“You suspected that the criminal who attacked Hyukseong’s dojo was related to me? I felt a little bad, but I understood and moved on. Annoying the branch leaders by complaining about everything? “I tried to be generous and let it go.”

“I think there is some misunderstanding.”

“But assaulting the branch’s leader. They don’t even punish or properly apologize to the student who committed the incident. “Isn’t this a blatant disregard for the Sacheon branch?”

“…….”

“Can I accept this as Kunlun’s will?”

“Branch manager. Calm your excitement. “How about you take a seat with me and have a conversation?”

“Is the person I want to talk to pointing a sword at me right now?”

“This is because the branch leader assaulted the disciple first…”

“Let me tell you, I did not come here to have a conversation. “I came to ask for your sin.”

“Are you going to accuse me? These are words that cannot be ignored. “What authority does the branch manager have to punish us?”

The inside of the dorm became noisy as if a beehive had been disturbed.

I pulled out the sword from my belt and held it in my hand.

He then looked at the man who spoke to me on behalf of his students and muttered.

“Start with the snout.”

“……?”

The next moment, my new brother, who had disappeared like smoke, appeared before the eyes of a middle-aged Taoist monk.

Then, Damro’s sword scabbard mercilessly struck the Taoist monk’s mouth.

Drops of blood splattered and broken teeth flew through the air.

One disciple who realized what was happening let out a scream-like cry.

“Lee Hyeong-hwan-wi (以形換位)!”

I immediately swung the sheath toward the next target.

Wow!

A horrifying sound of beatings rang out.

A Kunlun guru who screams and destroys the new form.

“Hit!”

“Suppress it!”

Eventually, the other disciples couldn’t stand it anymore and attacked me.

A herbivorous attack of spirit swords flying in from all directions.

After taking a breath, I began to attack in earnest.

Jump! Jump! Damn it!

Should we really say that they are disciples of the famous Dae Sect?

The level of each one was extraordinary.

That’s why beating him up was even more rewarding.

“Ouch!”

“Aaaah!”

The Taoists fall one after another, clutching their arms and legs.

Furniture was broken and things fell down.

The screams and moans of the monks filled the room.

It was then.

“What kind of fuss is this!”

An old, grumpy voice pierced my ears.

I brushed the blood off the scabbard and looked back at the source of the noise.

“Where have you been?”

“You’ve finally revealed your true nature! You devil!”

Hyukseong Dojang, an elder of the Kunlun faction, showed up late and rushed towards me, roaring.
