Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 340:

Currently, Shin Yi was staying at the Hebei Peng family.

It seems that the doctor’s room in the Paeng family was borrowed to save King Geol, who was on the verge of death due to a broken Danjeon.

It goes without saying, but there was no way that Shinui, the best councilor in the world and a member of the Murim Alliance, would not have been placed in the Demonic Cult’s killing department.

From the very beginning, his life must have been threatened by the assassins of the Demonic Cult.

‘Now, since I am going on an inspection trip to a foreign land, please escort the key figures of Maeng and bring them to me. It’s not a very difficult mission, but….’

It didn’t feel that good.

Rumors had spread throughout the central plains that numerous casualties had occurred due to the appearance of the Demon Cultist.

There was no way that news would not have reached the headquarters of the Murim Alliance.

‘Are you giving me a mission in this situation?’

I’m not asking you to quickly return and post a detailed report?

It was a measure that was not readily understood.

Was it someone who considered Cheonan Gambu a thorn in their side?

Otherwise, is there a reason to delay my return as much as possible?

Regardless of the difficulty of the mission, I couldn’t help but feel resistance.

Only I, who had mastered the white lightning technique, recovered quickly and woke up, but the other injured people were still languishing in their hospital beds.

We need to take this situation into consideration as well.

I had no idea what the intention was for such an unpleasant act.

‘The fact that the lord’s seal is stamped means that Hwabaek Joo’s approval has been lost…’

As before when the decision to go to South Manchuria was decided, the will of the person who planned this matter and Hwabaek Joo were in agreement. Did you do it?

Or is it because Hwabaek Joo did it on his own?

Since I couldn’t refuse the Lord’s command, I thought I would go first, but I should understand the circumstances before returning.

‘I suddenly found myself turning around and going.’

The primary destination is Hwangbose.

Since we asked for their cooperation first, we had to go and say thank you.

Afterwards, you can visit Paengga, take care of your faith, stop by Shaolin Temple as promised by Buddha, and then return to Paeng.

Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Hubei.

There were four areas that had to be passed through.

It was going to take quite a bit of time.

‘First of all, I will select the members who would be burdened by long-distance travel and bring them back to my team.’

* * *

“For now, Warrior Bang, please return to Meng together with Warrior Yeo.”

“Is that okay?”

“I am not so cold-blooded that I would force you to carry out a mission while leaving my wife unconscious. “It is not a particularly difficult mission, and there will be no problem if the warrior is absent.”

“All right.”

“We will need an escort and commander to safely bring the wounded to the headquarters. Musa, please take on that role.”

“I will.”

“And when we get back to headquarters, I’d like you to do some research. “I will tell you in advance, so please ask the samurai and the samurai for help.”

“What would you like to know?”

It was decided to send Bangcheoksam, Yeo So-ok, Janggang Johyeop, Cheonwoo, Changin, Dojang, Hwadaerang, Hong Seonghyeon, Hwang Hojin, Seo Hoseon, and Sawooyeon to the headquarters of the Murim Alliance first.

Damun decided to stay at Sima Street for a while, and the rest of the team moved with me.

Cheon Ga-ryeong, Dok Go-seong, and Lee Soo-yeon.

The staff has become considerably simpler.

You may say that the scale was too small, but safe transportation of the injured was more important than dragging a large number of people around to save face.

The reason for mobilizing all of the Cheonan Ganbu’s main forces in the first place was because they had in mind an all-out war with Sima Segawa.

Since the migration of the Ak family was completed successfully, only a small number of people were sufficient for the subsequent work.

‘There are only a few beings in the entire midfield that can threaten me right now.’

The members left the Jiangsu branch of the Murim League and headed to Honam.

Along the way, I stopped by Samaseega and went to see King Geom, who was staying in a separate building, and said hello.

“It’s late to see you.”

“no. “I was also busy focusing on recovery.”

In the meantime, the Sword King was taking care of himself and resting at Samase Family.

From what I heard, he suffered some internal injuries during the fight with the White Bone Demon Emperor, but it seemed that the injuries got worse as he pursued the Demon Cultist forcibly.

This was the reason why the warriors of the Namgung family surrounded the outbuilding and blocked access to outsiders until a few days ago.

“Thanks to the elder’s help, we were able to push the Demon Cult leader into a corner.”

“Well, it’s a little unclear whether it was helpful. “Didn’t you miss it in the end?”

“If it weren’t for the elder, the scale of damage would have been much greater.”

“…….”

“And if the Buddha and the Sword King had not joined in a timely manner, I would not have been alive until now.”

“It makes me feel embarrassed to say that.”

“How are you feeling?”

“It’s already completely healed.”

“Fortunately, the.”

“So, it looks like you suffered a serious injury that cannot be compared to mine. Is it okay for you to walk around like this?”

“Aren’t you still young?”

“Does this mean I’m old?”

The Sword King’s eyes narrowed.

I smiled bitterly and shook my head.

“I didn’t mean it that way.”

As he ascended to the absolute state, his body, which boasted excellent resilience, evolved one step further.

If it hadn’t been for the injuries he received from the cult leader, he would have gotten out of bed much faster.

“Simply being young doesn’t explain the unusual speed of recovery, but… I think it has something to do with the monk’s vision, so I won’t ask you any more details.”

“thank you.”

“So you came to see me to say goodbye?”

“yes. “We have decided to move together with Hwang Bose’s warriors tomorrow morning.”

“Thanks to you, I was able to cut ties with the Golden Dragon Sangdan without major damage. “I hope this event repays that.”

Namgung Ho, the head of the Namgung family, had two wives, the first of whom was the daughter of the head of the Geumryong Sangdan.

The Geumryong Sangdan, which was once called the top ten merchants in the world, has now been relegated to a mediocre business as its foundation has been completely absorbed into the Hwayang Sangdan.

If the Namgung family had continued its relationship with the Geumryong Sangdan, it would have suffered enormous damage.

That was why the Sword King thanked me.

“It was enough compensation.”

“I’m glad that’s the case.”

“No shame, but there is one thing I would like to ask you, Elder.”

“ask?”

“Didn’t you tell me that before? “If you want advice, come to me.”

“…I did say that. “I never thought that I would seek teachings only after reaching the absolute state.”

“I am just a baby chick who has just crossed the threshold. “This is a time when we desperately need help from pioneers.”

The Sword King’s expression became depressed.

Perhaps you are feeling embarrassed, remembering what you said before?

[If you want to ask for advice about martial arts, come see me anytime. I have also learned the martial arts of dealing with brain energy, so there is quite a lot I can tell you.]

“If you have any questions, please tell me. I promised that I would answer honestly, but I can’t guarantee that it will be of help to you. “The direction of enlightenment is different for each person.”

“Is there any way or trick to implement the false steel in the desired form?”

“Useonghyeonggi?”

“As soon as I got better, I went to the training center and checked my martial arts skills. However, we have not yet figured out how to form the will-form energy.”

“It’s bound to feel difficult. I also had a lot of trouble practicing. “It is invisible to the eye and difficult to guess, so is it easy to create the shape of a blade that can cut down an enemy?”

I nodded in agreement with the Sword King’s words.

Even with my senses expanded through my fight with the Blood Witch, I couldn’t figure out the detailed form of the ceremonial sword.

Therefore, learning how to use it was not that difficult.

Now I think I understand why the Eight Demon Lords treated the Demon Cultist like a monster.

“The space is too small to discuss martial arts. “Why don’t you move somewhere first?”

“All right.”

After leaving the annex, the Sword King and I headed straight to the training hall located in Sega’s inner garden.

The Sword King, standing in the middle of the empty training hall, held out his open palm and asked.

“Do you know what shape the prosthesis that is forming on my hand is taking?”

“It has the shape of a blade.”

“right. “That’s the approximate shape.”

The wrinkled mouth drew an arc.

The next moment, he lightly waved his hand and fired a false sword at me.

As I reflexively used my self-defense skills to block it, a light shock was felt on my shoulder.

“……?”

Even though I was surprised, I didn’t feel that bad.

Because I knew that the Sword King did not attack me with the intention of harming me.

“How do you feel?”

“It didn’t feel like I had been stabbed with a knife, it felt like I had been pushed out with a stick.”

“This is because it is a false steel device that was not implemented properly. “At first glance, it appears to have the shape of a blade, but in reality, it is nothing more than a bamboo sword with an unsharpened edge.”

“…….”

“Often, a warrior who can use a martial arts technique is said to be an expert who has reached the level of mind-killing. “What is the meaning of Simsimsal?”

“You can kill your opponent just by activating your will. Isn’t it?”

“right. The most important factor in implementing and operating a prosthesis is none other than intent. “You might complain that it’s too abstract, but I can’t think of any other appropriate words.”

The Sword King formed a false flag on his palm again.

Quadddd!

When he lightly waved his hand, a long sword mark was left on the floor of the training hall.

I looked down at the ground cracked in a straight line as if I was possessed and let out an exclamation.

“In my case, I trained while picturing in my mind the sword of Namgung, which I have been training for my entire life. “After overcoming countless failures and practicing repeatedly, I got results.”

I felt like I knew roughly what the Sword King was trying to tell me.

The practice of learning how to use the stylus was, so to speak, like wading through a wilderness without knowing what would exist at the end.

This is the reason why even experts who have already reached the absolute level a long time ago only learn a few limited techniques and use them in practice.

The Sword King, who lightly waved his hand, made eye contact with me and asked.

“Did it help you a little?”

“yes.”

“With your qualifications, it won’t take that long to surpass me. “I hope you get good results.”

“Thank you for your teachings.”

* * *

The day arrived to leave Jiangsu and head to Shandong.

After saying goodbye to Ak Yeo-ryeong and other members of the Ak family, I boarded the carriage with the members of Cheonan Gambu.

The warriors of the Hwangbo family pushed young boys and girls into a carriage that had been prepared in advance.

They were all people who had been sold to the Sima family and were forced to practice magic.

Everyone had a lethargic expression, as if they had taken medication.

‘It’s only natural since I lost my power supply.’

If a person who has learned magic is left unattended, he will eventually become a madman drunk on magic and harm the people around him.

In order to return the kidnapped boys and girls to their homes, their danjeon had to be destroyed first.

‘If we go to the Hwangbo family, we will have to decide how they will be treated first.’
