Throughout the story the young spirit is filled with anger and sadness recalling the past.
Mok Gyeong-un listened seriously to the young man’s story.
In this way she let loose until the moment she took her last breath and Cheongryeong shed bloody tears again probably because her emotions were overflowing.
Even though she is a spirit without a physical body how deep is her resentment that she would shed bloody tears?
Mu Qingyun squeezed her hand without saying a word.
She just felt like she had to do it.
-closely!
The sobbing Cheongryeong was holding Mok Gyeong-un’s hand tightly.
It’s like a young child holding and relying on her parents’ hands.
The spirit body that became a vengeful spirit was the energy of yin itself so it might feel cold but to Mok Gyeong-un her hands felt strangely warm.
However as she talked about the moment she took her last breath the hand she was holding tightly loosened.
That was when she said she wanted to be ‘his’ bride.
As she spoke sadly she felt embarrassed and looked at Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes.
She said ‘I couldn’t control myself while talking.’
She felt like the last part was pointless.
She thought that her sentient being might be disappointed after finding out her feelings for him.
That’s how much she loved him.
So much so that even at the moment of his death he only thought of him.
-…
“….”
Her neck Kyung-woon stared at her because she was so embarrassed that she couldn’t say anything and then she opened her mouth.
“But after listening to it one thing seems strange.”
-What do you mean strange?
“Cheongnyeong… no Sowol… I definitely lost my father and family in the end but I think I saw ‘him’ and someone called Soju of the Cheonmae die. How did he become a vengeful spirit? Of course there may still be deep resentment left over from losing a family member…”
Her fundamental grudge was against that person named Bi-heon.
It was no exaggeration to say that everything started from him.
However according to what she said it seemed like Bi-heon had been attacked by the ‘him’ she loved so much.
It was then.
-No he didn’t die.
“yes?”
He’s not dead?
-I also thought he died because of the last scream he heard. But the guy was alive.
“How do you know that?”
-…Because I felt it.
“You felt it? “Is he alive?”
-…It may not be clear now that a hundred years have passed but he was definitely alive at the time. He lived and humiliated his throne to the end.
* * *
How much time has passed?
Deep resentment becomes the spiritual power of yin and holds the soul in the world.
For those who have just become a vengeful spirit their ego is not formed immediately due to the adaptation period and low status of the change to the spirit body.
It was some time later that she came into her own.
The first thing she saw after forming her own self was none other than her own book.
‘St… a book?’
She instinctively knew that she and this book were strongly tied.
This book was a medium that would allow her to become more connected to this world even in her spiritual form.
But how can this book which you are seeing for the first time be related to you?
Lost in her doubts she examined the book in detail.
And in the process
‘!!!!!!’
Her books are made from none other than her own heart.
After becoming her spirit body she could see the world through different eyes so she knew instinctively.
What on earth did she do with her own heart?
She opened a book made of chopped and dried heart.
She engraved words into it one by one just like in her other books.
Her writing was a nine-pointed version of the Wol (月) sword style that combined her Pasa Palsik (破思八式) with her own Muwol Gonggeom (無月空劍).
‘What the hell is this…’
It was right then.
She felt like her head was hurting.
She asked “There is no way for a spirit to have a headache so why does it hurt so much?”
As she wondered a vague memory flowed into her mind.
that
[The heart is the source of life and also symbolizes the human heart. You and I will be together forever.]
‘!?’
She couldn’t hide her embarrassment at the image of the guy that appeared in her mind.
How…how is this guy alive?
It’s definitely in his hands… Ugh.
At that moment another memory appeared in my mind.
The guy had a message engraved on his heart.
[…Sowol. I will leave all your traces here.]
-closely!
She bit her lip in anger.
Did she engrave this on her heart and keep looking at it as if she was doing it for herself?
– Coo coo coo coo coo!
Her angry spiritual power spread out in all directions and her surroundings shook.
I’m so angry.
Even if this were not the case would he continue to humiliate himself like this even after death when his resentment would not be resolved and he would become a vengeful spirit which would be sad?
* * *
– Even in death I who was humiliated by this guy could not bear it and went on a rampage. As a vengeful spirit I didn’t have the proper power yet but I only had one thought: to kill him.
“And then you were sealed by that guy?”
When she first met the Qingnyeong Aniriu Sowol her medium the secret weapon made from the heart was clearly sealed by Bangsul.
According to her story there was a high probability that she was sealed to prevent her from going on a rampage.
however
-…I don’t know. To be honest I don’t remember anything from here on.
“You don’t remember?”
-okay. I have no memory of how the main throne was sealed.
She had doubts but no matter how hard she tried to recall that moment she couldn’t remember it.
She said in a tone that she was disappointed with the neck cultivation.
“Then I don’t know how that secret book made from the heart ended up in the Yeonmok Sword Master?”
-I don’t remember. At the time it was sealed it was like being cut off from the outside world. The period is close to a hundred years. but….
She endured only with the single thought of revenge.
She lost her family to a bastard and she suffered the loss of her precious teeth to the man she loved.
Even as he died pain and deep resentment remained.
-The only thing that supported her position was this one.
Despite her deep resentment enduring for all those years was a battle against loneliness.
Even during the long period of loneliness she persevered. However no matter how vengeful she was her cruelty could not help but gnaw away at her own heart.
That’s why she collapsed in front of her neck which shook her.
“….”
Mok Gyeong-un who heard her whole story although he was not good at understanding her emotions was able to understand with her heart what a hard and lonely fight she had been fighting.
That’s why
-closely!
She said as if she was making a promise while holding her hand.
“I will make a promise.”
-….
“I will erase everything related to him from the world. Even if he dies and is no longer in this world it doesn’t matter.”
Her expression became strange as she made a determination to kill Mok Kyung-un.
She was her sentient being who had never cared about anything other than her own revenge.
She couldn’t help feeling strange that such a guy was vowing revenge on her.
But soon she spoke with watering eyes.
-sorry. Rebirth… The inside of this throne is rotten and crumbling so it’s as if it died a long time ago. There may be no place for you to come in and settle down.
“It doesn’t matter.”
-You… you say that even after hearing this…
“I can’t help it if I already like it.”
-under….
One hundred years have passed since his death.
Nevertheless ‘him’ still remained in her heart.
That’s why it was even harder for her.
Both in her life and in her death she considered only him to be her own man.
However he was shaken by every word of this middle-aged man whose relationship was not that long and he was so angry at himself.
Is this just because of loneliness?
Is that why he wants to lean in every time he shakes it?
He didn’t know why his heart which was like an old tree that broke when broken was shaking like a reed.
‘I… I…’
I shouldn’t be like this but every time I see this guy I strangely think of him.
There was nothing similar in anything from the way they spoke to their appearance so I couldn’t figure out why they were like this.
‘…no.’
She shook her head.
She stared at her neck as he held her own hand tightly.
Even though she is a spirit her heart aches.
‘Maybe I should have taken it alone.’
This was the first time I told this story to someone and I felt much better because I had let it out.
But at the same time I couldn’t help but feel bitter.
It felt like I had broken his heart.
Even if he said it was okay he would have known that ‘him’ was still inside him so even if he was a sentient being he wouldn’t feel that good.
-Rebirth. I am….
“are you okay.”
-what?
“Cheongryeong…. Ah. I guess I got too caught up in it. Anyway Sowol also has a heart and the fact that she liked someone and kept that person in her heart isn’t a bad thing.
-…rebirth
This guy is surprisingly good at touching other people’s hearts.
This guy doesn’t even know his own feelings.
How could this bleak and cold-hearted guy actually try to comfort himself?
Maybe that’s why my heart throbs even more.
“That’s strange.”
-What do you mean?
“In fact if I follow my heart I want to steal Sowol’s heart even if she likes someone.”
-….
“But after hearing the story if I do that it will be another repetition of suffering for Sowol. “I don’t want Sowol to be like that.”
-….
“So now I’m going to focus on my revenge and resolving Sowol’s resentment.”
Her eyes filled with tears as she heard Mok Gyeong-un’s words.
Your words shake me even more.
She wanted to spit out her words like that but soon she got her emotions under control and somehow calmed them down.
It was the first time I had feelings for someone other than him.
However this heart must be suppressed.
‘The relationship between you and me must end in revenge.’
Once the vengeful soul had resolved its resentment the outcome was decided.
Since there was a fixed end I couldn’t waver any longer.
Realizing this once again she quickly regained her composure.
-okay. Sentient being you are right. For now let’s focus on your revenge and resolving my resentment. and….
“and?”
-You don’t have to call me Ryu So-wol without even trying to say it.
“You’ll get used to it quickly….”
-Just call me Cheongnyeong.
“yes?”
-I want to continue to be called a young spirit by you.
* * *
dark night.
Two carriages appeared down the mountainside not far from Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge.
The people driving these two carriages were none other than Mu Gyeong-un’s subordinates Nie Chun and Meng Wuyak.
They barely managed to reach this place in order to catch up with their lord who had been blown away by the sword flying technique.
Since all they had to do was find the orb by coming this far they wondered if they would ever enter the territory of Yeonggeom Lodge but before they knew it they had reached a place not far away.
Since Yeonggeomsanjang was the domain of Gu Tianmu a member of the Six Heavens even the lord would not have hastily approached so why has there been no news yet?
Then it happened.
-Kkiik!
“woah!”
Seopchun who was driving a horse behind him was startled when the carriage in front stopped.
Nie Chun immediately shouted towards the front.
“No drugs. “When you stop you have to give a signal to stop… Ah?”
Soon Nie Chun was able to figure out why the carriage in front of him had stopped.
This was because there were people at the front of the carriage who were presumed to be inspectors from Yeonggeom Lodge.
So to support this Nyeopchun hurriedly launched a new model in front of the carriage.
-Pot!
‘what?’
I saw that Meng Wuyak had a strange expression on his face.
-Sreung!
Although I had doubts I decided to pull out my German weapon Gwangmudo and get ready to fight.
“Stop!”
Meng Wuyue dissuaded him.
“Stop? Huh?”
At that moment a strange look appeared in Nie Chun’s eyes.
That’s because among the swordsmen at Yeonggeomsan Mountain there was a middle-aged man in the best of times and he was politely bowing to them.
Why on earth are they doing this? I’m wondering
“The Duke of Zhou is waiting. “It will be difficult to travel by carriage from here so please follow us on foot.”
“Joo Gong? “You mean the head of Yeonggeom Mountain Lodge?”
Did they realize that they were here and send them there?
This was the car I was looking for.
“no. “The Duke of Heavenly Demon has sent to welcome you.”
‘!?’
For a moment Nie Chun could not believe his ears.
The Heavenly Demon Lord?
