“I’m sorry but I can’t send it. “Cheongnyeong is already my life.”
‘!!!!!’
The moment he heard Mo Kyung-un’s words Cheongryeong’s dark red eyes returned to their original state for a moment although it was only for a moment.
But it didn’t last long.
When the relationship was connected there were many times when I sympathized with Mokgyeongun’s feelings.
He may have been involved in some things in the past but he could not ignore the connected influence.
However since the very existence of the spirit is made up of resentment its natural tendency as a vengeful spirit was bound to become stronger from the moment the relationship was cut off even if it was emotionally shaken for a while.
‘no.’
Cheongryeong whose heart almost wavered for a moment clenched his teeth.
Then he did his best to shake off Mok Kyung-un’s hand that was holding his wrist.
-Park!
‘!?’
Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes faintly trembled at her stern refusal.
Seeing that she remembered what Hoeju had said in Cheongnyeong’s mind.
* * *
[Northern tip of Shaanxi Province. This is where the ruins of the collapsed castle are.]
-…Are you sure there is a technique to make soul and white become one?
[Cluck cough cough… The ghost sword has been looking for traces of the old martial arts master who has been practicing the art of gold for a long time. I didn’t know it was there because it was dark under the lamp but I’m sure.]
-….
Without Geumsul Bi-heon cannot achieve what he wants.
Then of course we could use this as an excuse to pull him out without having to find him.
I am finally able to settle down with him.
The moment to end this long grudge was not far away.
At that time Hoeju spoke.
[You’d better hurry. They also dug in close to the traces.]
-It will happen even if you don’t urge it.
[Cluck cough… Sigh…. And there is one thing to keep in mind.]
-What do you mean to pay attention to?
[Ryu So-wol… I know that your grudge is deeper than anything else but this fight is absolutely against you.]
-no. Not anymore.
Although he was angry he was not alone.
She tried to fight alone but she had a strong helper with her.
‘Rebirth.’
She was confident that she could get through anything if she was with him.
His potential exceeded his expectations and he overcame many adversities.
and
-There is nothing particularly disadvantageous. Even if he obtains a body containing a soul he cannot achieve what he wants if the other two conditions are not met.
Cheongryeong thought that if they took advantage of this situation they would be able to gain an even greater advantage.
however
[…That’s not what the Lord is saying.]
Master Myeongryul who was caught in blood intervened in a cautious voice.
She asked looking puzzled at this.
-What do you want me to do?
In response to her question Master Myeongryul hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth.
[…Wi So-yeon no this may be the last life for the body that contains your soul.]
-What are you talking about?
Is this the last life for the body that contains the soul?
It was difficult to understand what was being said.
[As I mentioned before the soul ascends to heaven passes through the Heavenly Gate and undergoes a process of purification.]
-so?
[However your soul continued to be forcibly placed in the womb and underwent reincarnation without undergoing such a process for a hundred years.]
-What do you mean? Is there something other than being born imperfect?
[It’s not just the body that declines.]
-what?
[If the soul does not undergo purification it will decline and eventually disappear.]
Cheongryeong’s expression hardened at the meaningful words of Great Magistrate Myeongryul.
What does it mean for the soul to disappear?
Didn’t they originally say that the soul is one with the white?
But if one of them the soul disappears does that mean something will happen to me who is white?
Her great master Myeongryul spoke as if he felt sorry for her as she was left speechless.
[If the soul does not ascend to the sky but disappears completely you the white man will also disappear. Because spirits are born with a destiny.]
‘!!!!!!’
For a moment Cheongryeong seemed to be shocked and stiffened not knowing what to do.
If the soul disappears you too will disappear completely?
Doesn’t that mean that there will be no afterlife or anything?
It literally meant the end of existence.
‘If the soul dies…. Baek dies. When the soul dies….’
Cheongnyeong’s head became confused.
She just thought that if she released the resentment she had built up over a hundred years and stopped her crazy and obsession everything would end.
But this…
-Gurgling!
Bloody tears flowed from her eyes.
‘…It’s too harsh.’
Cheongnyeong was beyond angry and only her bloody tears and sighs came out due to the frustration that everything seemed to be blocked.
Even though everything she held dear was taken away from her she thought she would be able to escape this bondage if she just avenged her revenge but he was pushing her to the edge of the cliff until the very end.
If Bi-heon comes to the end and comes out as a judge and kills Wei So-yeon who has his own soul everything will be in vain.
She looked at her palms seeing herself trembling.
For an instant his image and Mo Qingyun passed by at the same time.
[It was beautiful…. It was so beautiful that it looked like a red peony.]
[There’s nothing I can do about the fact that I already like it.]
-closely!
Cheongnyeong bit her lip tightly.
Once her grudge is resolved and she leaves this world will she ever see him again?
Would it be good if he gave up everything and joined sentient beings?
She had a million thoughts.
But it was all in vain.
If he doesn’t get what he wants and he feels that his numbers are wrong he will end up making extreme choices.
If that happens…
‘…rebirth.’
You will disappear in front of him.
I am not afraid of death or extinction.
We have already transcended such things a long time ago.
But what happens to Mok Cultivation after he disappears?
-Gurgling!
Will I never see you again?
It was so scary and sad.
Cheongnyeong grabbed her chest and bent her body down.
It’s so painful.
‘…Is this a tragedy that is destined no matter what?’
In the end he will make that choice and he will be destroyed.
No matter how many numbers I tried I couldn’t come up with a clear answer.
In the end the ending was the same.
Now I understand why he went to such lengths to take Wi So-yeon away.
If the above So-yeon is in their hands he might not know. If it is in the hands of a bastard he ends up being the bastard who holds the final hand.
‘It’s expensive… it’s expensive!’
I’m at a loss for words about his madness and obsession.
What should I do?
If the ending was the worst no matter which path she took in the end the only choice she could make was the choice of the lesser evil.
The only number that came to her mind was one.
It was a decision to be made only by one person.
‘I’ll use gold to lure him in and end all of this together.’
That was the only answer.
In fact it could be said to be the ending of Donggwijin.
-closely!
‘Rebirth…’
Mok Gyeong-un could not be dragged into this Sura journey.
If Mok Kyung-un were with him he would provoke the bastard even more and in the worst case scenario he could be destroyed in front of him before he could repay his revenge.
It would be such a tragedy to see something like that in front of him.
‘I have to quit.’
Only then can I at least end up with a tragedy for myself.
I can’t see him being sad about losing someone again.
Cheongryeong immediately looked at Grand Master Myeongryul and Hoeju.
‘He will try to help somehow.’
If so you need to block it in advance.
Even sentient beings would have no choice if they were to kill those who were the only ones who knew the ghost sword’s whereabouts and its secret.
Soon the young spirit approached them revealing his murderous intent.
* * *
“I’m sorry but I can’t send it. “Cheongnyeong is already my life.”
Mok Gyeong-un’s sincere words shook her for a moment but she soon cut off all her emotions into her resentment and anger.
-…Not the main seat.
“Don’t lie. “It’s shaking.”
-It’s not a lie. If I hadn’t tied you up with a kite I would have left you long ago.
“….”
-To me you were just a tool for revenge.
“No….”
-No that’s right. The man I loved no longer exists in this world. You can never replace him.
Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes shook at those cold words.
When Qing Ling read Mo Qingyun’s emotional changes for the first time her heart swelled.
But she couldn’t help it.
She can break the union on her own only by emotionally detaching him as well.
‘sorry. ‘Rebirth.’
Cheongnyeong who forced herself to swallow the bitterness immediately concentrated all the spiritual power of the blood realm of her ear realm and fired numerous swords made of her blood at Mok Gyeong-un.
-Choo! Chop! Chop! Chop!
“Cheongryeong!”
Flying at her incredible speed her intangible sword sliced through her sword and her neck cultivator tried to catch her but
-Chrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Her blood which had been swirling around her shrunk in an instant and then disappeared.
When the blue spirit which had surpassed the level of a purple spirit decided to run away it disappeared as if assimilating with its surroundings making it difficult to find it.
-Srurr!
Eventually the blood that had filled the surrounding area disappeared.
The blood world was released.
Mu Gyeong-un who was trying to open his energy and all his power soon stopped.
Rationally she thought she should hold on but she couldn’t because of the strange way she kept trying to push herself away.
Why?
What was it about her that made her push herself?
There is definitely something there.
But since they were all dead it was difficult to guess what had happened.
Anything if you’re alive
-Shudder!
Mok Gyeong-un turned his head somewhere.
I saw a man and a woman lying in a corner of her.
They were Grand Duke Na Yu-liang Hui Zhou’s first disciple and Mo Ya his confidant and his favorite woman.
Mok Kyung-un’s eyes narrowed as he looked at them.
-Sigh!
I reached out to one of them.
That was the mother drug.
The moment Mok Gyeong-un pretended to pull her body rose by itself and she was soon sucked into Mok Gyeong-un’s hand.
-Park!
Mok Gyeong-un holding her neck whispered into her ear.
“You…. the point blood has been released why is she pretending to faint?”
-Gulp!
Moyak was momentarily embarrassed and swallowed her dry saliva without realizing it.
* * *
A deep valley about 30 miles east of the headquarters of Cheonjihoe.
There a group of masked people were catching their breath.
One of them a masked person was carrying a luggage and on its back was what appeared to be a coffin.
A masked person tapped the coffin with his hand and muttered.
“You won’t wake up right?”
The masked person carrying the bag on his shoulder answered this question.
“They said he would remain in suspended animation for 15 days so he won’t wake up for a while. “If you don’t think so you can just keep checking the points regularly. Is there any problem?”
“Well well.”
A masked man who appeared to be the leader approached them and spoke.
“Enough chit-chat. “We’re leaving now.”
At this the masked people stood up with regretful eyes.
When they woke up there was someone somewhere thinking about the situation.
That somewhere was right inside the coffin.
-widely!
The being who was supposed to be in suspended animation inside the coffin suddenly opened its eyes.
That being was none other than Wei So-yeon or more accurately the guard Go-chan who was possessed by Wi So-yeon.
Go-chan licked his lips as if he was embarrassed.
‘I’m in a state of suspended animation so I was able to successfully possess myself but what can I do with this?’
