Return of the Blossoming Blade Chapter 1167

Episode 1167 Was I really wrong? (2)

“Ah…”

A moan escaped Baekcheon’s mouth without me realizing it.

He couldn’t even imagine that such words would come out of the court’s mouth.

Who is the court? Isn’t he none other than the head of the Millennium Shaolin? Even if the court really felt that way, it was not something a person holding the position of head of Shaolin would say.

However, the biggest reason why Baekcheon let out a groan

was because he sympathized with the court’s words.

It is said that when a genius forces a criminal to follow his methods, it is just another name for violence.

Yes, I agree. Maybe because he is Baekcheon, he sympathizes more than anyone else.

Because he also felt terrible.

The way Cheongmyeong leads them is difficult to describe with just the expression harsh. And Baekcheon lives a particularly harsh life.

If he gives the appearance of having a hard time and shows even the slightest hint that he is uncomfortable with training, the disciples who are looking at his back will be the first to break down.

Five Swords sees Cheongmyeong’s back and follows him, but what those walking together on that difficult road see is not Cheongmyeong’s back, but Baekcheon’s back, who is enduring the same training.

Therefore, no matter what complaints Baekcheon had so far, he kept his mouth shut and followed Cheongmyeong at the head of the family.

But that’s why I couldn’t help but agree with those words. No matter how hard you try, no matter how hard you try, you can’t catch it and instead you just keep getting further away. The person who has despaired the most is probably Baekcheon.

Why haven’t you thought about it?

Maybe this is wrong, maybe he’s chasing a mirage that he can’t catch in the first place. Can I truly say with confidence that I never had any doubts that I might ruin myself by chasing something I couldn’t pursue?

But now the court is saying the same thing Baekcheon thought. Those words that even Baekcheon could not bear to say out loud.

“What is that…”

Even Cheongmyeong seemed speechless and couldn’t finish what he said once he said it. I just stared blankly at the court.

“Do you think I’m wrong?”

The court that asked the question quietly shook its head.

“Looking back, no one on Maehwa Island made the wrong choice. “If there is anyone who is at fault, it is only Emperor Nangong, who did something he should not have done.”

Nangung Dowi bit his lips. The court looked at him with eyes full of regret. However, he did not specifically correct what he said.

“It was not my choice to lead others to sacrifice to make up for his mistakes. “If that were the case, I would have been evaluated as having a lot of cooperation, but I would have had to sacrifice the blood of others in return for that evaluation.”

“I…”

“That’s right. Yes, that’s right. But you were able to save Namgung without shedding blood. okay. That was just the difference. We just made the best choice we could from each other’s standpoint. Look at the Hwasan Sword Association. Do you really think I should have headed to Plum Island at the expense of Shaolin and Gong?”

Cheongmyeong gritted his teeth with a loud noise.

“Don’t you think that’s a lame excuse?”

“….”

“The world is full of people who risk their lives for consultation even though they know they lack ability. “If we were only going to do what we could, we should have abandoned the name political faction a long time ago.”

“Maybe so.”

The court, chanting Amitabha Buddha, looked at Cheongmyeong with transparent eyes.

“Then I will ask. “If the same situation were to happen again, would you head to Maehwa Island?”

“Obviously…”

“How many of Hwasan’s disciples would you be willing to die in return?”

“this…!”

At that moment, vital energy surged from Cheongmyeong’s body. Those are not words a person can say.

However, the court just looked at Cheongmyeong, who was radiating anger, with indifferent eyes and asked.

“Is it okay to go up to ten?”

“….”

“Twenty? Thirty? Or fifty?”

“…the room manager.”

“No, change your mind.”

The eyes of the court turned to Ogeum behind Cheongmyeong. Also to Hyeyeon, who was biting her lip next to him.

“What about the people here? Even if they all died, would you have been able to nod your head with satisfaction and say that it was a good death because you saved Nangong Sogaju and the rest?”

Qingming closed his mouth. And at that moment, Baekcheon felt it.

Until now, there have been quite a few cases where Cheongmyeong kept quiet while arguing. But it was mostly about waiting for what the other person said. There were very few cases where I kept my mouth shut because I had nothing to say.

But right now, none other than Cheongmyeong is unable to answer the room manager’s words.

“No. That won’t be possible. Maybe you’ve become a wreck by now. “Because you won’t know that it’s all the result of your choices.”

“….”

“Then I will ask.”

The court opened its mouth in a firm voice.

“How can you blame others for not doing something you cannot do yourself?”

“….”

“I don’t mean to criticize you for your hypocrisy. Because that wouldn’t have been hypocrisy. You must have headed to Maehwa Island thinking you were making sacrifices to the volcano. “That must have been sincere.”

Everyone nodded at those words.

Didn’t everyone clearly see how strongly Cheongmyeong opposed going to Maehwa Island?

“But that’s it. Somewhere in your heart, you must have been confident that even if you headed to Maehwa Island, you would be able to solve the problem without much sacrifice. “Am I wrong?”

“….”

“Yes. That’s you. “You are that kind of person.”

The court smiled slightly.

I can see it after I let go of everything. He acknowledged that he was the culprit and seemed to understand that Cheongmyeong was seeing something different from him. What kind of person is this person?

There was only one reason why he could not understand Qingming.

‘The Hwasan Sword Association is a group of people who treat themselves as if they have experienced something they have never experienced before.’

And he calculates areas that others cannot calculate. It is clear that something that seems infinitely reckless to others is tangible in the minds of the Hwasan Swordsman Association.

How can an ordinary person understand such a person?

“But I don’t have that confidence.”

“….”

“So, answer me. Even if you lose half of the volcano, would you really want to head to Maehwa Island? Are you confident that you will be able to live like that in the future to keep that agreement?”

Cheongmyeong’s face distorted.

I couldn’t answer quickly. Because he knows that this answer becomes a shackle for him. The moment you say yes here, whenever the same thing happens in the future, Hwasan will have to jump into the enemy camp without caring for his life.

It is nothing that Cheongmyeong becomes a hypocrite. To begin with, Cheongmyeong is not someone who has ever cared about such things.

However, it is not Cheongmyeong who is shackled by this conversation now, but those who are listening to this conversation. Even if Cheongmyeong wanted to do that, they wouldn’t watch Cheongmyeong fall into the abyss alone.

“That’s the way of volcanoes.”

“Are you saying it’s wrong?”

The court slowly shook its head in response to Baekcheon’s question, which opened its mouth instead of Cheongmyeong.

“Is that possible? Excellent. It’s so amazing. I’m just endlessly jealous. “I, too, have hoped for my entire life for Shaolin to be in that position.”

“….”

“But I can’t do that. I can’t do that. I am too inadequate for that. Then stamp. “I ask you, was I really that wrong?”

Baekcheon lowered his head.

Courts are also people. How can it be said that it was wrong for a person to avoid a situation where he had to kill his disciples to save others? No one would dare say such a thing.

Although we can criticize the Shaolin sect for acting unbecoming of its position, we cannot simply criticize the individual named Beopjeong for making the wrong choice.

Rather, since it was a volcano, he couldn’t say that because he was a volcano that was more horrified by the executioners living with him than he was by himself.

“I am not wrong. “I gave up so much to get this answer.”

A brief moment of remorse passed through the calm eyes of the court.

“But… the volcano is not wrong either. Rather, it was right. more than I.”

“….”

“So isn’t it funny? “No one was wrong, but we were only discussing each other’s faults.”

“Is that what you ultimately want to say?”

“Hey, Hwasan Sword Association.”

The court sighed.

“Please understand me a little.”

“….”

“I am a person who cannot be like you. So why do you blame me for not being able to be you? “That would be too harsh even for me.”

“….”

Jogeol, who had been holding back the entire time, raised her voice.

“What the manager said was wrong.”

The court turned its head and looked at Jo Geol.

“Why?”

“Everything is correct. But if you admit that, isn’t there another choice?”

Everyone looked at Jo Geol with a puzzled look. Because no other choice came to their minds.

“If the leader admits that he is not as good as Cheongmyeong, then instead of bringing in a volcano to the nine factions, the nine factions can join the Cheonwoo Alliance. Then won’t Cheongmyeong be able to move the nine files?”

“….”

“Then isn’t this a problem that can be solved? Why should someone who is smarter and reads the game well have to adjust to the room leader? “Isn’t that better for everyone?”

At that moment, there were people nodding their heads in agreement with those words.

I know it’s realistically impossible, but isn’t that the best option anyway?

However, after hearing those words, the court looked at Jo Geol with cold eyes that were not visible to Cheongmyeong.

“Do you really think that is right?”

“yes! Correct!”

“I was wondering whether I should say this, but since you brought it up, I guess I’ll just say it too.”

“…yes?”

“Who are the people who are pushing the Hwasan Swordsman Association into limbo?”

For a moment, Jo Geol flinched. Because that voice was so stern.

“Hyeonjong.”

Jang Moon-in bit his lip.

“Elders.”

Hyeonyoung and Hyeonjae bowed their heads.

“And you here.”

“….”

“So far, you have been simply amazed by the numerous achievements that the Hwasan Sword Association has achieved. I just hoped for a hero who could achieve what he couldn’t achieve on his own. So you must have thought. All you have to do is pretend that you can’t get over that stubbornness. Then, as always, the Hwasan Sword Association will be right again.”

“….”

“I risked my life, so it’s okay? Are you prepared for my own death?”

The court glared at everyone with angry eyes.

“Listen carefully. “When this situation repeats and the Hwasan Sword Association has full authority, what you will face is not your heroic death!”

The court’s voice shook everyone.

“This is the Hwasan Swordsman Association, who will turn into cold corpses after saving you. “That is the reality that those here will have to face one day.”

A fact that everyone vaguely knew. Nevertheless, the fact that had been vaguely ignored poured out of the court’s mouth and struck everyone’s heart.
