Episode 897. When Namgung Byeok, the leader of the True Body and Shadow
Alliance, became angry, the archenemy slightly averted his gaze.
If it wasn’t for Namgung Byeok, he would have shouted louder.
But he couldn’t do that against his uncle and father-in-law.
Namgung Byeok – only excellent in martial arts – said as if admonishing his immature nephew and son-in-law Yeon Jeok-ha.
“Isn’t the reason we follow the agreement to protect the weak? However, Hocheonmaeng, whom you sympathize with, is the ruler of Murim powerful enough to devour our Nammaeng. It is said to be the same way, but to put it calmly, it can be seen as a relationship between the South and the Hocheon alliance. It is not a matter of negligence, but to protect the South from them.”
‘Yes, but I thought that I wanted to become the owner because I was neglected.’
Those words rose to his throat, but he held it in.
Because there is no point in wrestling with the father-in-law right now.
He did not say that he had sent the Demonic Cult to Mt. Mokryeon.
‘I was cursed like this even for killing the Demonic Cult leader…’
It was clear that the relationship with his wife’s family would be severed if he said that he had sent the Demonic Cult to Mt. Mokryeon.
“ha! If you have nothing more to say, you can stop and go back.”
“yes.”
After bowing his head, he went back to where he was.
When Yeon Jeok-ha returned, Namgung-cheon, the blue cloud sword, hurriedly asked.
“The atmosphere is cheap, what’s going on?”
“I killed about 50 Demonic Cult masters while rescuing people from the Wuhan Branch of the Hutian League.”
“okay? He’s not the kind of person who would be angry with something like that…”
“I killed the Demonic Cult leader as well.”
“Did you go out to get some fresh air?”
“Yes, it happened while saving people from the Wuhan branch by chance.”
“My father deserves to raise his voice.”
“If you didn’t know, wouldn’t you know? Demonic cults are trying to eat people, how can I just let them go?”
“You did a good job of saving the people of the Wuhan branch, but shouldn’t the religious leader have avoided you?”
“I did it because I was afraid that if I left the leader alone, the Hocheonmaeng’s damage would be severe. People I know might die.”
“Ah, those small groups in the Jeongju branch?”
“yes.”
“I see. I understand both your and your father’s position. Aww!”
A sigh escaped Namgungcheon’s mouth.
At first, he also resented his father.
But now that time has passed, I can understand that feeling to some extent.
Maybe it’s because he’s also a member of the Namgung family.
The Namgung family formed the Namgang and broke away from the order of Murim created by Chilpamun.
From Hocheonmaeng’s point of view, Namgungse was the one who caused the division at the moment of greatest crisis, and
that will never be erased.
In the unlikely event that Nam Maeng disappears, he will treat Namgung family more coldly than in the past.
If the Namgung family does not want to fall to the ground, they have no choice but to raise the Nammyeong.
And unfortunately, the biggest competitor of the current Nammaeng was Hocheonmaeng.
It is for this reason that his father, the leader of the Southern Alliance, does not hesitate to make harsh choices.
“It’s an enemy.”
“yes.”
“I hope you understand a little bit about my father, the leader of the Southern Alliance.”
“I understand. It’s because I couldn’t agree in part.”
“okay. That’s enough. I don’t understand everything about my father either. You shouldn’t build a wall with Namgung family just because you feel sorry for your father. know?”
“I’m more worried that my uncle will do that rather than me.”
“Father? Ayy, my father is stubborn, but he’s not the type to be. Even if he gets mad at you, he would be patient with Yeon-i, right?”
“Then I’m glad.”
He looked around with a stern expression on his face.
He is not patient enough to go to Namgung’s family while being treated coldly by the Sword King.
Basically, I haven’t learned such a basic education since I was a child.
Rather, they follow the teachings of green forest.
For example, ‘Engrave grace in the river and engrave resentment in the bones’ or ‘Live as you please’.
Raised like an animal in Waryongjang, which can be called a family, the meaning of uncle or father-in-law was only a little closer than others.
The only things he values most are his wife and children.
Other than that, without exception, it’s just a stranger or a little closer than others.
People who saw the lord raise their voice avoided his gaze.
A bitter smile spread across the young man’s face.
In this way, nothing has changed much from when I was in the forest.
‘No, there are things that have changed.’
family has grown
Except for Namgoongyeon and Yeonjian, it is always this way.
It seems that he was born to be insulted because he was criticized for doing good things.
As he looked around at the Southern Alliance with bitter eyes, people from the Musketeers went around and shouted.
“We will quickly move towards Mt. Mokryeon! There may be an enemy ambush! Stay vigilant between moves!”
Namgungcheon tilted her head at the sound.
“Why is Magnolia Mountain suddenly? drop it Do you know anything?”
“I told my uncle that people from the Wuhan branch of the Hocheon League were going to Mt. Mokryeon. It must be because of it.”
just as expected?
Shortly thereafter, Mo Yong-mun, the musketeer, came running.
“I decided to go to Mt. Mokryeon for a meeting with Hocheonmaeng. Please be careful not to deviate from the ranks.”
No matter who hears it, it is said about Yeonjeokha.
Still, this generation answered boldly as if he knew nothing.
“All right!”
Mo Yong-wen bowed down to Yeon Je-ha and returned to the lead.
Namgungcheon murmured.
“Since you’ve come this far, it looks like you’re going to stamp your face on Hocheonmaeng.”
In an instant, a bitter smile appeared on Yeonjeokha’s face.
If he goes to Mt. Mokryeon and meets Ho Cheon-meng, his uncle’s stomach will be more bitter, but he is worried.

Northern Directly.
Imperial Palace.
early evening.
The man and the woman were sitting opposite each other.
It was the famous religious leaders Eighthwangsinmo, Cheonjama, and Ushas Kinshasa, called the Golden Temple.
Ushas Kinshasa glanced at the Eighthwangsinmo, who had an expressionless face, and said.
“Dear Heavenly Father. The Demonic Cult leader has died. The Demonic Cultists are on their way to Mt. Mokryeon, but they will eventually be defeated.”
The Cheonjama muttered with a dejected face.
“Either in the heavens of kings or in the underworld, you are caught by your rivals. How can a human who can’t even live a hundred years do that?”
“Isn’t this all the trick of the true masters?”
“no. Do you think you can destroy the throne of Sanggye with the power of the jinseons?”
“If you do?”
“The creator god of the upper world must have been involved.”
“Didn’t the Creator God stop his activities in the upper world in the primeval age? Was there any reason to come back and be active again? And with humans from the underworld?”
“So, isn’t it something to go crazy about? At this rate, we will surely be killed by the enemy enemy.”
“It’s an embarrassing statement, but the king and I have been in an imperfect state due to the famous cultist’s magic. But now that you are complete, are you still going to die?”
Ushas Kinshasa looked at the Cheonjama with an ambiguous face.
Not too long ago, the celestial horse and his divinity were separated into the upper world (the sky of the kings) and the lower world (the present world) due to the famous religious leader’s vocational marriage technique.
Then, after the body of the upper world was killed, it was reunited in the lower world and regained its full divinity.
As they became complete, their dependence on the famous religious leader was also released.
He is much stronger now than when he was killed by a rival enemy in Sanggye, but the Cheonjama seems to have a different idea.
The Cheonjama said something unexpected to Ushas Kinshasa, who was dubious.
“Didn’t you have a strange experience when you were killed in the upper world?”
“What do you mean by a strange experience?”
“I saw a forked road made of light. Have you not seen it?”
“I saw it, but it was so fleeting… I just understood it as a phenomenon of death. What does it have to do with it?”
“I recently had a fundamental question while watching Yeonjeokha. Even with the help of Jinseon and the Creator God, the gods of the upper world were killed by mere humans. Do you think that is possible?”
“Of course it’s not possible rationally, but didn’t that actually happen?”
“I have existed since time immemorial and have finally become an impeccable god. I was killed at the hands of a human who couldn’t even live a hundred years. Do you still not know what that means?”
“That’s… no way…”
Ushas Kinshasa shook his head.
If that’s what the Cheonjama is talking about, that’s an idea close to delusion.
“Unlike you, the two paths to me were not in the blink of an eye. I thought before the road and even made a decision. I chose the path that shines brighter, but I was sucked into another path.”
“Are you sucked?”
“Yes. My will wanted another way… but an irresistible force drew me into this world. Since then, until now, I’ve been thinking about the path I hadn’t taken. What is the road and what will be at the end of the road.”
“Could it be that the king thinks that even we are not perfect?”
“It is true. We are imperfect beings. Maybe you and I, or the gods that exist in the upper world (the sky of kings) are just shadows.”
“The shadow?”
“Think of the joy of crossing over to the underworld and becoming a whole. But if this kind of authority we have is just a shadow… how great would our true body be?”
“But isn’t that just an assumption? There is no existence in the universe that would cast the gods of the upper realm as shadows. It is impossible.”
Ushas Kinshasa shook his head.
Of course, it’s not impossible at all, but the possibility has dropped significantly.
How could the gods of the upper world be someone’s shadow!
How could a high-ranking god like the Thousand Horse deny his existence? On the one hand, it was astonishing.
“Do you really think it is impossible? Is it possible for the gods of the upper world to die to a human like Yeonjeokha?”
“….”
Ushas Kinshasa couldn’t answer that easily.
This is because it is as absurd as the claim that ‘the gods of the upper world are someone’s shadow’.
“So I thought. The human famous master was able to communicate with you, the god of Sanggye, through magic. If you, a deity, use that method, won’t it reach your true body?”
A shotgun rite flowed from Ushas Kinshasa’s mouth.
“ha! Don’t be afraid. Do you think it’s important to know that we are someone’s shadow now?”
If I’m just someone’s shadow Rather, isn’t the meaning of existence declining?
Then, the Cheonjama spoke calmly.
“Hope. If this continues, we will surely die at the hands of our enemies. If there is hope of dying and returning to a greater true body… How can death be a big deal?”
“You think you’ll lose to Yeonjeokha.”
“I don’t have a way to deal with his Nine Heaven Sword Spirit. Are you there?”
“…”
The spirit of speculation faded from Ushas Kinshasa’s face as she recalled the Nine Heaven Sword Spirit.
The Cheonjama, who watched his change, turned her attention to the famous cult leader.
“The mother of the eight emperors.”
“yes.”
Eighthwangsinmo, who was sitting with unfocused eyes, replied with an expressionless face.
“How could you of the lower world communicate with Ushas Kinshasa, the god of the upper world?”
“I recited the mantra of Taeilgwan, ‘Taesangjeongil Advent Sinju’.”
“Try to recite it.”
“If you let go of all karmic relationships and do not raise even a single hair, that is the pre-birth and the truth, the infinite. If you melt into the void of the beginning, you will forget your consciousness in the place where sex and life enter. Only after forgetting the ceremony can you meet the gods, so nine dragons will come down from Jade Cheong.”
From the mouth of the Eighthwangsinmo, the secret of trying to monopolize even while destroying the monks flowed out.
