Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 338:

Sponsorship of the Sima family.

A young man came and stood next to a young woman who was lost in thought while looking at the pond.

“Sozer.”

“What’s going on? “Unlang (雲郞).”

“I have something I want to say to Soje.”

The woman, Seonhye Dojang, looked back at the young man with a puzzled expression.

Damun, a young man who took a deep breath, made eye contact with her and spoke as if he had made up his mind.

“I think there will be a lot of trouble.”

“Is there anything to worry about? “I achieved the revenge I longed for.”

“It’s only half-revenge. “We have not yet decided what to do with the captured Gasols of the Samase family.”

“…….”

Seonhye Dojang’s mouth was tightly shut.

She was the person who was most angry when the news came that Ma Jyoju had suddenly appeared in the middle of the Heavenly Land and ran away with Sima Seju.

The person who ordered her family to be devastated by wind and rain was none other than Sima Seohwan.

Of course, he was the one she resented the most.

As Damun said, Seonhye Dojang’s revenge is only half achieved.

“I feel like I’ve been spending a lot of time standing here in silence lately. I can’t eat well or sleep for long. “I’m worried that my health may be harmed.”

“Don’t worry too much. “I didn’t neglect my training to the point where I ended up sick like this.”

“Sozer. “Would you mind leaving the rest to me?”

“…What do you want to say?”

Seonhye Dojang’s eyes became sharper.

A fierce force flowed out and put pressure on Damun.

“I mean it literally. “I would like you to hand over to me the authority to dispose of the captured Gasols.”

“What is the purpose of asking Gasols to hand over their right to life and death now? Didn’t I say that I must be the one taking revenge? “Seeing Gasol on the brink of death didn’t make you feel pity, right?”

“I can tell you that’s not the case. I will respect Sojeo’s wishes no matter what. That’s why I came to ask for permission.”

“…I’ll listen first and then decide.”

Cold tone.

Damwoon let out a bitter smile.

It was a completely natural reaction.

‘It’s an issue she can never compromise on.’

As Seonhye’s principal, she would not be able to look kindly on herself for suddenly changing her words after work was over.

If I couldn’t come up with a satisfactory answer here, in the worst case scenario, my relationship with her could have soured.

“As you know, not all Gasols have gone beyond the right path and gotten involved in unclean things.”

“But most people probably had a vague guess. “It is an undeniable fact that they are also bystanders and accomplices.”

“That is correct. So, we should punish him appropriately. Considering the seriousness of the crime, I plan to execute all those who cross a certain line and have the rest abolished, have their wealth confiscated, or be flogged. Watch from the side and tell me at any time if you don’t like it. “Please increase the level of punishment.”

“…….”

“Instead, give them a chance after the prison sentence is over.”

“opportunity? “What kind of opportunity are you giving me?”

“A chance to atone. And the opportunity to dedicate yourself to Baekdo Martial Arts.”

“You may be going round and round, but in the end, what you are saying is that you want to save Gasol and take him under your command.”

“exactly.”

“Are you sure you don’t know? “I wonder what I would feel when I heard that.”

“How could you not know? “I believe you are feeling extremely betrayed.”

“Even though I knew that!”

“But I want you to know. “This is also for Sojeo.”

“……?”

Seonhye Dojang’s head tilted slightly.

His reaction was that he didn’t know why showing mercy to the captured Gasols was for his own good.

“Originally, I had no intention of making such a suggestion. As you know, I have already abandoned the Sima family name. “My honest opinion is that I don’t care what happens to the surviving Gasols.”

“…….”

“But I changed my mind when I heard that Master Ma had taken my father with him.”

There were complex emotions in Damun’s eyes as he continued speaking.

That sight felt so sad that Seon-hye could no longer make a venomous expression.

“From now on, I will tell you how Sojeo can achieve complete revenge, not just half-hearted revenge.”

* * *

Buddha leaves the room.

I scratched my head with a shocked expression.

Suddenly, I ended up visiting Shaolin Temple.

The reason I asked Gamwon to make room for me was because I thought that the monk who had prayed for me might have something to do with my return.

However, by attacking the secret temple of the Muyeong Shintu, they learned of the existence of the oracle bone, and through the remarks of the Demon Cult, they also learned that it was a sacred object of the Demon Cult and the cause of its return.

This meant that there was no longer any reason for me to visit Shaolin Temple.

‘Honestly, I’m not that reluctant.’

Even when Maehwashingeom (梅花神劍) suggested that I stop by the temple, I was the one who refused with the excuse that I was busy.

Even more so at Shaolin Temple.

What kind of great treatment would one receive in a den of monks who are the embodiment of abstinence?

I can assure you that the Shaolin Temple was more, not less, than the Volcanic School.

At best, serving a vegetable side dish with each meal would be the end.

‘But that doesn’t mean I can’t coldly refuse Buddha’s offer.’

The other person wasn’t good enough to make excuses and promise next time.

Buljon was not simply a person with high distribution and status.

In terms of symbolism alone, he was a person who surpassed even the Murim leader, Joo Hwabaek.

Moreover, he was close to the Master.

First of all, I was the one who said I would visit Shaolin Temple.

‘What are you doing in a den of idiots?’

The thought of walking around and exchanging joint hands with each and every monk I encountered made me feel tired.

I sighed out of rejection.

“Whoa…”

I stared blankly up at the ceiling for a while.

In response to the presence outside the door, I slowly lowered my gaze.

“Boss. “This is Damun.”

“Please come in.”

Damun opened the door, entered the room, and bowed to me.

I tilted my head and offered him a seat.

“Wasn’t it true that you were cleaning things up with Seonhye’s dojo at Sima Sega?”

“I have something to say to the branch manager, so I took some time.”

“Should I hit the airway?”

“There is no need for that. “It’s something that’s going to be announced on a large scale anyway.”

“All right. “What brought you here?”

Unlike usual, Damun’s words and actions felt stiff.

Rather than being formal, it felt like I was suppressing myself to control my emotions.

“I heard that Ma Jyoju appeared in the middle of the Heavenly Land and ran away with Sima Seju.”

“yes. “I’m quite embarrassed because something unexpected has happened.”

“I think you must be very worried. In the end, Sima Segaju passed into the territory of the Demonic Cult.”

“I guess it tastes bitter.”

“In the future, when Ginger City begins to be deployed on the battlefield in earnest, it will be a headache. “I think we need to take some kind of action before that.”

“well. “I don’t think any follow-up measures will be of much significance now.”

“no. “There is one method that is sure to be effective.”

“……?”

“As of today, I will use the name Sima Yun again.”

I ended up frowning at the incomprehensible words.

What kind of ghost talk is this?

* * *

The front line stretched out on the border between Shanxi and Hebei.

A military barracks on the Demonic Cult side located somewhere there.

“I’m sorry it happened this way. “Sama Seju.”

“…….”

The absolute master Peng Tian Demon Emperor, who occupied the first place in the eight great demon armies, gave Sima Shigaju deep consolation.

Samasegeju, who was staring blankly into space, let out a chuckle.

It was a laugh that felt not only sad, but even bizarre.

‘It tastes so good.’

Emperor Bungcheon cursed inwardly.

I came here after receiving orders from Lord Ma to persuade Lord Sima Shi.

But I had no idea where to start and how to approach it.

Sima Seohwan was a person who devoted his life to the regeneration of his family.

Now that the Simase Family has collapsed, what can we do to get him to regain his motivation and work for the Demonic Cult?

“The leader said this. “If we win the Great Demon War and establish the world of magic, I will support you in rebuilding the Sima family.”

“reconstruction?”

The laughter got louder.

Emperor Pengcheon’s eyes were slightly distorted in the extremely uncomfortable atmosphere.

“That sounds good. But what is the meaning of that?”

Sima Xuhuan’s face was distorted miserably.

A gaze mixed with resignation, resentment, despair, and resentment.

Emperor Bungcheon felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Even though I knew that the man in front of me was far below me, I felt uncomfortable.

“Weren’t you hoping for the revival of the Sima family?”

“Of course I hope.”

“You wouldn’t know, right? “The surest way to achieve that goal is to cooperate with the Demonic Cult.”

“It seems like you have a big misunderstanding.”

“mistaken?”

“The building just needs to be rebuilt. All you have to do is collect your wealth again. But blood relatives are different. “There is no way to bring the dead back to life.”

“…….”

“What on earth does it mean to Sega, where only the head of the family remains? “If you build a large manor, pile up a mountain of wealth in the warehouse, gather talented people, fill the rooms, and write the words ‘Samasege’ on the signboard at the main gate!”

Sima Seju’s voice became increasingly powerful.

Even madness was visible in his impassioned speech.

“Can it be said that the collapsed Sima family has been rebuilt? Is that really true from Sima Shiga?”

“Look at reality. “The Sima family has already collapsed, and we cannot turn back time to the past.”

“…….”

“As you said, it could be said that the reconstruction promised by the sect leader is far from a proper revival of the Simase family. But does that mean you’re going to let go of everything?”

“What if I don’t let go?”

“I won’t tell you to have hope. But isn’t it too early to give up yet?”

“…….”

“I can assure you that not all of the Simase family’s gasols have died. Because political faction bastards have a soft side in that respect. If the world of magic is established, the survivors will be able to be saved. “I think it’s worth putting your hopes up for.”

“…….”

“And you don’t want to take revenge?”

“plural? To whom?”

“I know that you resent the White Bone Demon Emperor. The reason why he appears so rebellious may not be unrelated to that. But he is already dead. “You can’t take revenge on a corpse.”

“…….”

“Besides, the White Bone Demon Emperor only did his duty in the first place. It doesn’t mean I harmed you with malicious intent. “There is someone else you truly need revenge on.”

“…Heavenly Dragon.”

“The answer came surprisingly quickly. Yes. The reason Sima Sega collapsed and you ended up in this situation were all because of Heavenly Dragon. Make jiangshi for the Demonic Cult. “Then I will ensure that you get your revenge.”

“…….”

“And one more thing. “I will do my best to capture your son alive rather than kill him.”

“…!”

“You have time, so take your time and think about it. I’ll be waiting for a positive answer.”

After completing his business, Emperor Bungcheon left the barracks.

Sima Shigeju just looked down at his hands in silence for a while.

I couldn’t get my head around it.

What should I do in the future?

Should he become a member of the Demonic Cult in order to rebuild his illusory family?
