< Episode 112: Situation (5) >
He spoke in a worried tone as if he was worried about Nie Chun.
“My lord. It’s hard to trust that woman named Chunchu. “Why don’t you interrogate us further?”
The majority of people in Daejeon nodded in agreement with his words.
As expected Chunchu the first world of the secret society who said that the ghost sword and blood were connected has not said anything since then.
[How can you persuade someone who says he’s dead when he’s dead and won’t submit to power? Is there some trick?]
[The best grave site. Because the ghost sword and I are connected by blood.]
[Blood connected? Does that mean they are brother and sister?]
[Well… you can see it that way.]
[If you do that wouldn’t it be possible to bring the ghost sword here instead of having to go looking for it?]
[If I had thought that would happen I would have done it a long time ago.]
[…What are you talking about?]
[I don’t know why but all communication with the ghost sword was cut off. No matter how I try to connect it I can’t reach it.]
[…Are you asking me to believe that?]
[Strictly speaking the reason I participated in this operation was to meet the Lord of Heaven and Earth.]
[Why?]
[Because the ghost sword began to agree with Cheonjihoeju not Mokgan.]
[Is this a betrayal?]
[I don’t know that. Because I haven’t entered my own head. However complete betrayal is impossible. As far as I know.]
[What do you know?]
[This is all I can tell you. From now on it’s a matter of decision.]
[what?]
She said that she was the only one who could do the job of persuading the ghost sword and that she did not know who would take on the task but he asked her to accompany him on the task.
Mok Kyung-yun tried to force her mouth open by applying pressure with all her strength but she remained silent despite her pain breaking her bones.
She was much more patient than Kang Yeom the first person in the same secret relationship.
Because of this most of her executives including her subordinates decided that she could not be trusted.
Of course Mokgyeongun was not much different from them.
Normally she would have gotten her to open her mouth one way or another but there wasn’t much time now.
Because she won the war she stayed for a while to take care of important matters but she immediately had to take over Wei So-yeon’s body and follow her spirit.
‘…Should I take him with me?’
For now there were only two options.
Either kill her on the spot to get rid of her troubles or use her ghost sword as a way to persuade her as she claims.
However if what she says is false and it is a self-made plan to find her ghost sword she will pay the price.
Mok Gyeong-un thought for a moment and then made a decision.
“…I’m taking you.”
“yes?”
“My lord!”
“Please reconsider! “My lord!”
“What do you mean you are taking me away? If I do will your lord move it himself?”
“Master are you sure you want to go in person? “No!”
As soon as Mok Gyeong-un’s words left his mouth almost half of the executives spoke out causing an uproar in Daejeon.
In response Mok Gyeong-un raised his hand and pretended to tell them to be quiet.
Only then did Daejeon become quiet again.
-widely!
Then Hwan Ya-seon the head of the Amjong clan took a step forward put his hands together showed respect and spoke.
“Can I say something?”
“Do it.”
“As this is a public occasion I will speak out of respect for my lord regardless of my priestly relationship. Unlike before my lord becomes the head of this huge organization that will replace the Heaven and Earth Association. It is impossible for someone in such an important position to move lightly. Please let us know. and….”
-Sigh!
As Mo Kyung-yun raised his hand Amjong Ju Hwan-ya-seon had to stop what he was saying.
Then Mok Gyeong-un said.
“As you may have seen in this war there is a third force. “No one can deal with them except me as their leader.”
As soon as he finished speaking King Ho Taekang came out.
“Even if that’s the case there is some truth to cancer’s words. It is a risk that the Lord must take the risk of stepping forward in person. “We are just about to lay the foundation for a new era…”
“It won’t be long.”
“yes?”
“The ghost sword… no I will return once I secure the ghost sword.”
King Ho Taekang could not help but be embarrassed by Mok Gyeong-un’s stubbornness.
Mok Gyeong-un might have been someone who could be persuaded but his will was stronger than that of Hoe-ju.
He senses that he cannot be stopped and hesitates on what to say.
“If you do this this old man will come back.”
Baek Sa-ha the island poison king came forward.
Because it was a public position he also considered Mok Gyeong-un as his disciple but he studied engineering.
“I have a face with a noble sword that belongs to me and I have a bit of kite that I competed with for my hand.”
At this Amjong Zhou Hwanyashen nodded his head and agreed.
“You do that. Select and send trustworthy executives including Lord Baek Sa-ha. Although they are not as good as the lord there are people among the executives whose skills are comparable to or higher than those of the Eight Stars. “Meeting my lord’s expectations…”
-Gooooooooo!
It was that moment.
Everyone’s bodies froze at the tremendous and ferocious energy that filled the entire Daejeon.
The only person who moved from this place was Gu Cheonmu the leader of Yeonggeomsanjang a member of the Seven Heavens who had already taken possession of his sword.
It turned out that there was only one person who could even remotely counter the intimidation that enveloped the entire Daejeon.
“If I decide to kill you here who can stop me?”
-Sigh! Wooooow!
When Mokgyeongun raised the sword three huge intangible swords were created and aimed at them in Daejeon.
Although it was only formed most of the executives standing under the sharp energy of the intangible sword broke into a cold sweat.
‘Was it like this?’
‘It’s hard to even breathe.’
Although he didn’t think he would really attack the mere fact that Mu Qingyun formed an intangible sword and applied pressure made his entire body alert to an extremely high level.
“You cannot survive on your own.”
Then Gu Cheon-mu the chieftain of Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge opened his mouth.
“But there is some truth to what they say. If something goes wrong with the lord this huge organization that is just about to stand up will be shaken. In that case it would be better for Sokha to go. “Don’t you believe this too?”
Jangju Gu Cheonmu was a member of the Seven Heavens the pinnacle of the current martial arts world and a great master.
There was no one in the entire martial arts world who could deal with him except Chilcheon.
however
“Let me be clear.”
“What is that…”
“I believe in you.”
‘!?’
The executives who were oppressed by the intimidation of the intangible sword could not hide their surprise at Mo Kyung-un’s sudden words.
-Sigh!
When Mo Qingyun waved his hand the three intangible swords in the air disappeared.
The ferocious energy that had filled the entire Daejeon was relieved.
As he became able to breathe more easily Mok Gyeong-un continued his speech.
“It’s not that I don’t trust you and that I can’t leave it to you. “I’m just trying to do this because I am the one who can and should do it.”
“….”
Everyone’s expressions turned strange at Mo Kyung-un’s words.
Each of them had different circumstances and became involved with Mok Gyeong-un through various events.
Therefore most people were well aware of Mokgyeongun’s tendencies.
However the moment they heard the words spoken in a more serious and heavy tone than a long persuasion they all had a hunch.
‘…It’s changing.’
Qualities of a leader.
It was gradually blooming.
Not only did they have a sense of weight but every single word Mok Kyung-un uttered moved them and made them resonate.
He was truly growing into a vessel worthy of a master.
Baek Sa-ha the king of island poisons spoke with a satisfied expression on his face.
“Now that you say it like that it’s hard to dissuade you even though it is something you should naturally do as a subordinate. If so please take with you those who can help you. “If you refuse even that we cannot let you go.”
“What the King of Seomdog said is correct. Please bring an escort.”
King Pabu also suggested this.
Mok Gyeong-un also shrugged his shoulders and responded to their words.
“I can’t take a large number of people in a panic so I will take a small number of people.”
As soon as Mo Gyeong-un’s words left his mouth Mong Mu-yak stepped forward knelt down on one knee and put his hands together in a respectful manner.
“I will serve my lord.”
“I will serve you as well.”
Not to be outdone Nie Chun also stepped forward.
When they came forward Apostolic Monk Geunjeong stepped forward and said.
“I don’t think there’s anything for Daengjung to do here without an owner so why don’t you take him with you?”
When he got to that point Seopchun scratched the bridge of his nose and grinned.
All of those who came forward were those who had experienced hardships and sorrows with Mok Gyeong-un from the imperial palace.
Nie Chun secretly looked at Mara Hyeon in the mask.
Then Marahyeon sighed and walked out.
“I will also serve you my lord.”
When they came forward Lee Ji-yeom the owner of Sihyeolgok came forward and spoke.
“Please allow me to join you as well.”
He was the one who treated Cheongryeong as the master of his heart.
That’s why he had a strong desire to accompany us.
But Mo Kyung-yun shook his head.
“no. Sihyeolgokju you remain here.”
Lee Ji-yeom the owner of Sihyeolgok said with a look of embarrassment at the firm refusal.
“How does it belong….”
“You will have a lot of work to do while you stay here.”
Lee Ji-yeom was left speechless by Mok Gyeong-woon’s comment.
Of course because this war resulted in numerous casualties in the society a lot of hands were needed to reorganize it.
In particular there were a lot of roles that executives had to take on and things that needed to be resolved.
Because the civil war was so severe it would soon become known to the outside world and preparations had to be made.
Therefore the executives who knew the meeting situation well were not in a situation where they could easily move outside.
It was for this reason that other executives could not easily come forward.
At that time someone’s voice was heard from the entrance to Daejeon.
“If you say hehehe can I serve my lord to whom I belong?”
Everyone’s eyes naturally turned towards the entrance.
There two figures were seen holding canes.
One was the old man’s Seonghwaryeongju and the other was Guyangso the head of the Paldoksa the head of the Guyang family although he had a young face and a human face.
When they entered Daejeon everyone couldn’t help but be curious.
In response Hwan Ya-seon the head of Amjong said:
“The lord called. “That person over there…”
Hwan Ya-seon secretly noticed Mo Gyeong-un’s notice.
Even so he was surprised to hear that he would introduce Seonghwa Spiritual Lord as a new member of the Heaven and Earth Association to everyone in Daejeon.
Since the perception of Baehwagyo was not very good throughout the government it was thought that it was okay to proceed slowly but Mok Gyeong-un’s opinion was not like that.
[There is no longer Cheonjihoe or Baehwagyo.]
It had one meaning.
The plan was to subjugate Baehwagyo just like Cheonjihoe to the new organization to be created.
Hwan Ya-seon the leader of the Amjong clan who noticed Mok Gyeong-un’s attention for a moment said.
“This is Baehwagyo’s Seonghwa Spiritual Brew.”
‘!?’
At those words the executives who were part of Cheonjihoe were in an uproar.
Someone already said that old woman was Baehwagyo’s Seonghwa Spiritual Jewel?
This was quite a surprise.
So is the person next to me also a Baehwagyo person?
‘That boss… Where do you think I’ve seen you before?’
When he saw the staff in the shape of a snake’s head Baek Sa-ha’s eyes narrowed.
I’m sure I’ve seen that cane before.
While he was wondering about this Gu Yang-so the head of the Paldoksa held the head of his staff put his hands together and bowed politely to the executives in Daejeon.
-Park!
“My lord said it would be okay to inform the officials here so I will greet them here. “I have a face like this for some reason but I am none other than Sora of the Ouyang family in the West Region.”
“Gu Yuyang Xiao?”
“Paldokjangjang?”
The executives were surprised when they learned of his identity.
Along with Dan In-hae the Thousand Poison Hand of Sacheondangga under Baeksaha King of Island Poisons Guyangso was said to be the highest in poison.
Did he even swear loyalty to Mok Gyeong-un?
‘What kind of mission did he have outside? Huh.’
Baek Sa-ha clicked his tongue inwardly.
Starting with Gu Cheon-mu the head of Yeonggeom Mountain one of the Seven Heavens as well as the light swordsman Ji-hoon magician Jae-jeong Paldoksa master Gu Yang-so etc. they were all great masters with great reputations.
