Return of the Blossoming Blade Chapter 1603

Episode 1603. I can’t even laugh. (8)

One day. Another day. And another day.

It was only after spending three days in Hwaeum that I was able to fully acknowledge Cheongmyeong. The fact that Jang Il-so’s aim did not reach this place.

But I couldn’t fully understand it.

Cheongmyeong’s eyes, looking down at the harmony, were dark.

An unpleasant and strange feeling of déjà vu continued to invade my mind. Cheongmyeong tightened the hand holding her wrist.

A faint bloody smell passes through the tip of my nose. It’s not real. It is the smell of a past that he does not want to recall, sleeping deep in his memories.

‘no.’

I slowly closed my eyes.

no.

Although it is true that the end of all the things he had experienced so far that were beyond the scope of understanding were ultimately connected to those two words that he did not want to say…

Not yet. That can’t be possible.

I opened my eyes and looked up blankly at the blue sky.

It was indeed clear and sunny. Cheongmyeong bit his lower lip gently.

“Are you back, Taesangjangmunin?”

Hyeonjong nodded heavily as he looked at Unam who came to meet him. There was a look of fatigue on his face.

“What about Cheongmyeong?”

“That…”

Unam looked away without saying a word. It was about halfway up the volcano. That means it will be there.

Hyeonjong nodded slightly with somber eyes.

I don’t really know what Cheongmyeong is thinking. Probably the same goes for others. He could only guess that there was something complex in that child’s head that Hyeonjong could not fathom.

However…

“Whoa.”

Hyeonjong sighed heavily. Unam asked cautiously.

“I heard the news. “The dead…”

“I’m on my way to take care of things.”

The recovered bodies were handed over to clans that had survivors, and the bodies of clans that had no survivors or could not immediately come to Hubei to receive the bodies were temporarily buried nearby and marked.

Only then will my body be able to return to my hometown.

“The disciples will finish the remaining work and return to harmony.”

“yes.”

Hyeonjong, who was silently looking up at the volcano, opened his mouth.

“Gather all the chord leaders.”

“Yes, Lord Maeng.”

Hyeonjong’s eyes, which were taking in the sheer volcanic mountain range, closed heavily.

❀ ❀ ❀

There was indeed a dull silence.

Cheon Woo-maeng, Hwa-eum, and even the surviving senior figures of the old faction were gathered in one place, and the situation was like that.

“Keu…”

In the end, Hong Dae-gwang, who was open to the public, could not stand it and let out a groan in an atmosphere that felt like it was oppressing people. He was about to say something, but Pungyeongsingae stopped him by pressing his shoulder tightly.

Hong Dae-gwang cursed to himself.

‘I’m going to suffocate like this, damn it.’

But I understand.

Hong Dae-gwang has also spent quite a few days in the powerhouse. Nevertheless, it was my first time facing such a serious situation.

Even he, who is open-minded about dealing with all kinds of information, is astonished, so how much of a shock would it be to other high-ranking officials?

‘But that doesn’t mean keeping your mouth shut like this is the best solution.’

Hong Dae-gwang, who was wiggling his fingers, glanced at Hyeonjong and Tang Gunak. Those two are probably the only ones who can break through this atmosphere and open up a conversation.

However, the person who opened the meeting was surprisingly someone else.

“To sum it up…”

It was Lim So-byeong, wearing a light green school uniform. A calm voice echoed in a room filled with silence.

“It is a crushing defeat.”

Although the content was like a dagger.

“To say it was a crushing defeat is an understatement. Not a crushing defeat… I don’t know. What words can explain this defeat? In any case, it is such a terrible defeat. “I can’t even imagine what on earth someone would have to do to lose like this.”

The person who was offended by those words was Zhuge Ja-in, the head of the Zhuge family, who followed Emperor Xuanzong to this place.

“Who are you?”

Lim So-byeong chuckled as he received a knife-like gaze.

“There’s nothing I can’t tell you, but isn’t it a very basic etiquette taught at the Seodang to tell your identity first before asking about someone else’s identity?”

Zhuge Zain, who had been glaring at Lin Xiaobyeong, this time glared at Xuanzong.

“Who is that author, Lord Maeng?”

Hyeonjong answered calmly.

“That person is King Lim So, the current head of Nokrim and the military leader of Cheonwoo-maeng.”

“green wood?”

Zhuge Zain suddenly interrupted Xuanzong.

“Why is Green Forest here?”

Blatant contempt and anger boiled in his eyes.

“I just came from a war with Sapa. But should I see Nokrim standing here arrogantly insulting those who risked their lives to fight with such words and actions? “This is what Cheon Woo-maeng says…”

“Ira fought for his life.”

However, before Zhuge Zain could grit his teeth and vent his anger, Lin Xiaobyeong sneered.

“You talk as if you fought like that. “I came here just to look around.”

“You… dirty bandit!”

The energetic Zhuge Zain jumped up from his seat.

The force was so fierce that one could easily guess how he became the head of a family. However, even though Lim So-byeong received the brunt of the murder, he was not so calm and instead laughed more openly.

“why? “Did I say something wrong?”

“Can’t you just shut your mouth?”

“The dead are separate, and there are others who need to be comforted, but the person who came back unscathed is trying to ride on that power. “I understand why you lost so foolishly.”

“This…!”

As Zhuge Zain grabbed the sword at his waist, a cool voice came from somewhere else.

“Until there.”

It was party music.

He looked at Lim So-byeong calmly and made a request.

“King Green Forest, please be careful what you say.”

Lim So-byeong, who was about to show his dissatisfaction, saw the party’s evil face and immediately shrugged his shoulders. It meant that there was no intention to continue the confrontation any longer.

Tang Junyue’s eyes turned to Zhuge Zain this time.

“Jegal go.”

“⋯⋯Yes, Lord Danga.”

“If you don’t like Chen Yu-meng’s personnel and methods, you can leave here.”

Zhuge Zain seemed speechless for a moment and just stared blankly at Tang Junyu.

Still, he never thought that the head of the Sichuan Dang family, who was of the same five generations, would take the side of the Four Sects.

“Before King Nokrim was a Sapa, he was a soldier of the Cheonwoo Alliance. “Please raise any questions about his identity and intentions to Cheon Woo-maeng and to me, not him.”

Zhuge Zain’s angry fingertips trembled slightly. Then Mo Yong Wei, who was watching the situation, tried to dissuade Zhuge Family.

“The head of the family was hasty in this matter. I understand how you feel, but you need to be careful. Given the situation, isn’t it time to just stay like this?”

Zhuge Zain seemed to have difficulty calming his upset stomach, and he continued to mutter, eventually collapsing into his seat.

Then he crossed his arms and gritted his teeth. Dissatisfaction was clearly written on his face.

Tang Gunak nodded.

“Please continue, Green Forest King. but.”

The idea is not to cause a fuss with unnecessary provocation.

“Yeah, I know.”

In any case, Lim So-byeong did not want to put any effort into such a trivial disturbance. He continued as if there had been no disturbance.

“In Shaolin, the anti-fa community is annihilated, and the Paeng family is also annihilated.”

“Mmm.”

Hwang Jong-ui, who was present as Cheon Woo-maeng’s financial manager, let out a groan.

Shaolin, Co, and Paengga.

It is a force that shook the world with its name alone. However, the fact that all of the elites of that force were marooned is still shocking no matter how many times you hear it.

“What the Sapaeryun lost in order to achieve this level of success is… the Black Dragon King and other Surochae. Well, the bastards mobilized before that wouldn’t have been anything that could be called a sacrifice.”

One surochae.

The three sects of the nine sects and five major families.

Even a child would be able to estimate which side suffered more damage.

Therefore, Lim So-byeong also did not take the time to talk about this.

“In conclusion… this incident completely disintegrated the old group.”

“⋯⋯.”

“The only remaining forces in the Gupa Ilbang are the shaman who is serving Jongnam and Kunryun, who is not involved in the affairs of the central government. These three are everything.”

Finally, a soft sigh flowed from the mouth of Jang Li-gok, Jang Mun-in, who endured the discomfort and stayed in his seat. I attended because of the circumstances.

Actually, the fact that there are three remaining factions is a bit ambiguous. There might be more. Openness or something…

However, opening up actually moved the enemy to Cheonwoomaeng. In the Five Great Families, the only ones left are Zhuge and Mo Yong.

‘Shaman and Jongnam. Moyong and Jegal…’

This is the only thing that can actually become power. Even in the meantime, there is no way to know when the shaman’s seal will be released.

I’m on the verge of bursting out laughing.

There are only four factions left among the nine clans and five clans that ruled the world.

Lim So-byeong tapped his palm with a fan.

“In other words, the powerhouse we knew is no longer there.”

These words instantly took everyone’s breath away.

Not only the Tianyu Meng Dao, but even Zhuge Zain, Mo Yongwei Jing, and Zhong Ligu could not even utter a single word.

Until now, they have suffered from the burden of having to fight a war against the Sapae-ryeon at any time. And there have been countless feuds over that method.

But now even that antagonism has become a luxury.

The terrible defeat made everyone realize it. This is no longer a simple power struggle. If we don’t stop that factional sect, it will really reach the point where the sect will be destroyed and the world of sectarian factions will be opened up.

“court.”

At that time, Zhong Ligoo spoke coldly.

“Where is he now?”

His gaze was sharp, as if piercing Zhuge Zain.

“⋯⋯I’m also good at that⋯⋯.”

“Have you returned to Shaolin?”

“⋯⋯.”

“Or are you still sitting there and wailing?”

Zhongligok’s voice became more and more murderous.

“If you caused an accident like this, you should at least put a knife to my neck and apologize, or at least come and explain. “Where on earth are you doing and what are you doing after bringing the situation to this point!”

“Matriarch, refrain from speaking. The manager worked hard. Just…”

“effort? That’s funny. Do you call this effort? You must have tried! It would have been difficult to push so many political faction members into the jaws of the Sapa bastards without making a certain amount of effort! “You made a great effort.”

When Zhuge Zain got angry again and tried to stand up, Mo Yongwei quickly grabbed him.

“Calm down.”

“Is this something to calm down!”

“It’s nothing to get excited about, is it?”

Mo Yongwei sighed and looked at Zhongligu.

“Even Zongli Zhang Wenren shouldn’t talk like that. At least the manager made an effort to stop Sapa. But didn’t Jongnam ignore our earnest call to the end?”

“⋯⋯.”

“It’s not right for Jong-nam, who was playing as a hermit when we were fighting and shedding blood, to come now and criticize the chief.”

“Sinseon play?”

Zhongligok’s eyebrows twitched at the harsh words.

“then? “Are you saying that only if Jong-nam had agreed to that idiotic plan and gotten caught up in it, that he would have even had a chance to open his mouth?”

“Jangmun-in!”

“Thank God the court is alive. If he had died, you would have been the one responsible! Could it be that Moore is so proud that he came back alive from a battlefield where everyone died? “Is that the honor of Zhuge and Mo Yong?”

“Long story… “You are saying too much.”

Hyeonjong, who could not hear anything, stopped him. Then Zhongligok turned around sharply. But that too soon made me burst into laughter.

“Yes yes. Since the world-famous Lord Heavenly Father speaks like that, I guess I should keep my mouth shut.”

“⋯⋯Long writer.”

“yes. Please give your order, Lord Maeng. “Who would not dare to listen carefully to the words of the King of Power and Lord of Heaven and Earth?”

It was clearly a sharp reaction. Hyeonjong closed his eyes tightly. Everyone is so sensitive that it’s inevitable, but I can’t help but feel tight in my chest.

Hong Dae-gwang was holding his head and tearing it out as he watched the meeting getting closer and closer at every moment.

‘This shit is better than this.’

Any hope I had tried to have was being crushed by the minute.

‘Where has this person gone in the meantime?’

Hong Dae-kwang turned his gaze to one side. The chair whose owner was clearly empty was empty.
