Chapter 12
“The reason the military and the Murim Alliance split is because the entire upper class, not just some, aided and abetted the Black Youngbu.?”
“Sadly, yes..”
The reason the Murim Alliance did not split fifty years ago was possible because it was the sin of some in the upper class..
But now things are different.
A crisis was imminent because not just some, but all of them tolerated the dark spirit..
“So what happens if one person is held responsible for this sin??”
“what does that mean……”
Zhuge Sang didn't want to speak, but his face hardened..
It was because I understood what the Murim Lord’s intentions were..
“Soldier, just answer the questions. Is it possible??”
Nangong Weimu asked as the Murim lord..
To that question, Zhuge Sang was silent and then answered..
“……it's possible.”
“Lord.”
Zhou Seocheon also looked at Nangong Weimu with an expression of uncertainty..
“Both of you are good at lying and acting.?”
Nangong Weiwu smiled kindly and asked..
Sacrifice can never be forced.
No matter how many times we try to save more people, we cannot force the innocent few to be sacrificed..
It is not for nothing that the jurisdiction of Heukyeongbu is concentrated on the Tang family..
As a person who walks the path, I don't want to do it..
Because I know it's wrong.
“Sinner, no! The wicked Nangong Weimu has used his past glory and power as a shield to satisfy his own self-interest.!”
Evil deeds cannot be justified in the name of a greater cause..
“Let me ask you again. Hello, are you okay??”
“What's wrong is wrong.
He must take appropriate responsibility and punishment accordingly..”
“do you know what that means?
Lord Maeng, this will be the worst disgrace and black history in the history of political factions. It will be criticized for generations to come, and it will be called the shame of the Namgung family..
No, the words criticism and dismissal are not enough..”
“So, I wish my grandchild would take over this job. It doesn't matter to this old man, but isn't he guilty of nothing to his family, including his grandchildren?.
Of course, even if that happens, the Namgung family will be criticized in the future... … Still, I want to minimize the damage..”
“Lord……”
“It doesn't matter what the crime is.
Please transfer the sins of Heukyeongbu to me. I beg you, soldier..
While Geomshin went to persuade Senior Kwon Dong-je, you are the only one who can take charge of this task..”
“Murim lord... … No, the martial arts hero Namgung Weimu!”
Namgung Seon-yu looked straight ahead with burning eyes..
Changryong's sword was aimed at his grandfather..
“be punished!”
snowy winter.
The Murim lord Nangong Weimu became a martial arts hero..
As we live in the world, we face inevitable situations..
When people face a situation like this, they give up, find a compromise, give up, and look for the next best solution..
You become an adult by realizing that you can't do anything with dreams and passion alone, and by learning about reality..
The same was true for Nangong Weimu..
‘Heukyeongbu is necessary for the future..’
Fifty years ago, a generational change took place and Nangong Weimu, who was appointed as the lord of the Murim, created the darkness that he eliminated..
As a result, the darkness of the political faction, the black spirit, saved more people and maintained peace through various activities..
When Nangong Weimu came to his senses, he realized that he resembled the older generation that he had disliked so much in the past..
I unconsciously smiled wryly at the thought that I could understand the squadron's actions..
‘Okay, it's just my turn..’
With rights come obligations.
Actions come with responsibility.
The time has come to take responsibility as the Murim lord..
‘Even for the sake of the future, we cannot allow the Murim Alliance to divide. We have to stop it somehow..’
I tried many ways.
We gathered together people who are called geniuses and brainstormed..
But there was no proper way.
So, after much thought, I came to this conclusion:.
‘this is best.’
Zhuge Sang said it was the worst choice..
That is correct. It's the worst and the best.
Nangong Weiwu also did not want to remain as a major villain..
Hosayupiinsa famous name).
When a tiger dies, it leaves behind its skin; when a person dies, it leaves behind a name..
Every martial artist dreams of fame after death..
I want proof that I'm alive.
I didn't want to remain a villain.
I wanted to become a hero like the heroes and great people of the past, and I was filled with the desire to be engraved with the pride of my family..
It is a lie to say that I have no regrets about the world..
It would be a lie to say that I have no desire for fame..
If it wasn't there, I would have become a immortal a long time ago..
‘I can't let countless sacrifices happen because of my greed..’
He ends up becoming the worst tyrant and hypocrite, taking upon himself the sins of hatred, anger, and malice..
Then, the upper class will also be forgiven, not as perpetrators or bystanders, but as victims..
Because I couldn't help it.
“be punished!”
I opened my closed eyes at the sound outside the door..
I drew a smile and erased it at the voice of my proud grandchild..
“Military.”
“Something.”
It wasn't the current military..
I was a former soldier, Zhuge Zhonghu..
“You've had a hard time helping the troubled leader by your side..”
“That's all you need to know. This is my friend.”
Zhuge Zhonghu sighed and laughed..
It was a somewhat complex yet refreshing laugh..
“Goodbye, my friend..”
“That's right.”
The moment he opened the door and stepped foot, Nangong Weimu became a hypocrite and a villain..
Snow falls in quiet silence.
Inside the Murim Alliance headquarters, the attention of the Murim people was focused on one place..
The leader who opened the door and came out was Namgung Wimu..
Nangong Weimu looked around with a face as cold as ice and opened his mouth..
“That's foolish!”
The voice was full of wrath.
“Nya Nangong Weimu, as the Murim lord, you sacrificed your whole body for the sect. What did you do?!”
“gibberish!”
Namgung Seon-yu came forward and shouted..
“My grandfather, Namgung Wimu!
You are no longer the Murim lord or the former head of the family.!
He is a martial artist and a villain.!”
have a strong mind.
I clenched my fist.
The grandfather in front of me is my enemy..
He is a corrupt and corrupt evil man..
“It's as they say.”
Emperor Gwon Dong-je said as he stood next to Namgung Seon-yu..
“Wulin exploits, Namgung Weimu.
Your sins are deeper than those of previous hypocrites..”
A fortnight ago, Joo Seo-cheon's bet came to mind..
‘If you are defeated, can you please finish the punishment with just one person, Lord??’
Kwon Dong-je devoted his life to eradicating hypocrisy and corruption..
Since I was connected to the image, I had no intention of changing my thoughts..
“Using the glory of the past as a shield, he deceived people and, drunk with power, ran wild and satisfied his own self-interest..”
The best thing to do would be to make him change his mind, but since that wasn't possible, we decided to do the next best thing to minimize the damage..
“In addition, even though he committed an unspeakable evil, he covered it up and even tried to blame the crime on the elders and upper class..”
In the end, the persuasion was successful..
Joo Seocheon won the bet with his life..
“Sword Saint, no, Sword Evil (劍惡) Namgung Wimu!”
An energy worthy of the Seven Seas of Heaven swept over me like a storm..
“Even if you pay for that sin with your life, it won't be enough.!”
actors gathered.
“I feel dumbfounded when I listen to this.!”
A story that is just a play with obvious lines.
“Since words don't make sense, I guess I'll have to use force to resolve the issue.!”
A hero from the past becomes corrupted and becomes a corrupt person in power..
“I, the Murim lord Namgung Wimu!
I will prove here who is right and who is bad.!”
Nangong Weimu pulled out a sword from his belt and his eyes lit up..
An unusual energy emanated from Geomak as well..
The crowd gathered at the edge of the main gate was so overwhelmed by the energy that they could not move their bodies, let alone open their mouths..
‘Alas,!’
Cheon Seon-seong and Hyuk-sang came to their senses late..
My body was shaking with intimidation, but it was not the time to be scared..
If we leave it like this, the worst will happen..
It was just as he was about to give an order while looking at the windbreakers hiding in the crowd..
“If you value your life, it's better not to move..”
“……”
Hyuksang stopped breathing when he heard a voice from next to him..
‘Mosamibong!’
It was Zhuge Suran, with dazzling beauty and an indifferent expression whose true intentions were completely unknown..
“lieutenant commander.”
“yes.”
Hyuksang was horrified..
At Zhuge Suran's call, I heard a girl's voice from behind my head..
But there was no sign of anything..
“Hold on to people who are looking away from the front. If it looks suspicious, you can knock it out..”
“honorary name.”
I expected that a spy from the Dark Heaven Society would be hiding in the crowd..
I was watching through ghosts just in case..
“Ugh……”
Hyuksang sighed after reading the number..
It was quite expected that there would be surveillance, but I was caught off guard by the unexpected situation..
‘can't move.’
Mosamibong, whose name was engraved at the top of the list of targets to be killed, was right next to him, but there was nothing he could do..
My body froze at the thought that the master named Major might stay while pretending to step down..
Since the center of the political faction and major figures were gathered in one place, it was Gosu that was widespread..
‘This news will reach Cheongi, but……’
Cheongi placed a separate watcher outside just in case..
The messenger would have rushed out to report by now, but by the time this becomes known, the whole situation will have been over..
No matter how much I tried to act, I couldn't properly fight for my life..
“Haaaaap!”
It was Jeongbaek who announced the beginning of life and death..
Jeongbaek jumped out as if he was bouncing off the ground..
It was a movement that was difficult to call a step, but as it was pure, its speed and strength exceeded normal human limits..
The advantage of the 'ideal' image implementation was that although it was not flashy, the basic ability was ridiculously high..
It was at a level that even the experts of Hwagyeong could barely follow with their eyes..
To the general public, it seemed to have disappeared..
‘Indeed, senior!’
But that's just the case with the underdogs..
A movement was seen in Namgung Weimu, an absolute master of Hyeongyeong, a fellow member of the class..
“Whoop!”
I took a deep breath and swung my sword..
wedge!
Draw a diagonal line from the bottom left to the top right..
As the name Sword Saint suggests, it was a terrifying slash..
However, what is truly surprising is neither the power nor the speed..
This was before Zheng Baek even reached Nangong Weiwu..
A sword strike that cut through the air and let out a harsh sound came crashing down..
“……“
Jeongbaek frowned and took a turn halfway..
Normally, he would have suffered internal injuries due to the sudden change in fortune, but it had no effect on him..
Change your steps and turn your body half a turn to avoid.
The sword that was meant to cut through the body skimmed across the ground..
Pyubut!
A long sword image was left on the land where there was nothing..
It was about three feet long..
“Changgung Muae Sword Technique (蒼窟無珪劍法))……”
Jeongbaek muttered after dodging Nangong Weiwu’s sword..
The Changgung Muae Sword Technique, which was a seasonal event for the Namgung family and was only permitted to the heir designated as the head of the family, had the characteristics as its name suggests..
Although it is a sword like a wide-spread spear, its range is longer than that of a spear, and its power is clean and huge..
In other words, like the Shaolin Temple's Hundred Treasures, it was possible to cut down enemies from a long distance, and the purity of energy was high, making it advantageous in battles of internal energy..
“Haha!”
Whirling!
Nangong Weiwu swung his sword from his spot..
Even though it was about a day away, he stabbed Jeongbaek’s body..
Pyuvubevot!
The air exploded one after another, creating a hole in the atmosphere..
Jeongbaek looked at the sword with wide open eyes and dodged it..
‘Realization of imagery!’
The range of the Changgung Muae Sword Technique is actually not this far..
In fact, at most, the limit was about one ship..
However, the image of 'Changgung' made it not matter what distance it was as long as it was in the field of view..
It doesn't matter if it's in front or on the side.
Any part that was visible could be cut or stabbed from a distance..
“khaap!”
But Jeongbaek was not easy either..
The intangible Geomgang's attacks from various directions were terrifying, but he was able to avoid them with his overwhelming physical abilities or block them with his invisible self-defense skills..
Normally, I would get tired quickly due to low stamina and endurance, but since I could use Mother Nature's energy as much as I wanted, it was no problem..
“Namgung Wimuuu!”
Jeong Baek rushes to Nangong Weimu..
“ Jeongbae-ae-ae-ae-aek!”
Nangong Weiwu also rushed to Jeongbaek..
Swords and fists collided under people's gaze.
Kuaang!
Intangible eventually turns into tangible.
As the sword wind and wind wind collided with each other, the atmosphere was torn apart and became a storm..
A bluish light and a pure white light flashed and obscured my vision..
The sound of air being ripped touched my eardrums..
Cooung!
The ground sank into a circular depression..
The force was so strong that it cut into my ankles..
The floor was cracked like a spiderweb shell..
The floor that the warriors clean every day has become a mess..
Ju Seo-cheon corrected the storm that was about to hit with the Jahajingi and dispersed it so that it did not hit the people..
The other masters also watched in fascination at the battle between the absolute masters, while sweating and blocking out external energy..
“Ughhhhh!”
Moans flowed from the mouths of Jeong Baek and Nangong Weimu..
We crossed our eyes with our swords and fists together..
‘Always, always… … It's the same.’
Nangong Weimu looked at Zheng Baek and smiled to himself..
‘Like fifty years ago, or even before that.……’
A person as white as winter snow.
A noble warrior who remains unspoiled by the passage of time.
Nangong Weiwu respected Zheng Baek..
No, I still respect you..
‘someday… … I really wanted to fight... … I can't do that, it's a shame. Well, I'm a public figure, aren't I??’
I didn't like it that much at first.
I thought he was an immature fool who was trapped in an empty delusion of ideals and denied reality..
But since when did I envy him like that?.
It was amazing that he did not give in to any reality and showed passion like a child without giving up on his dreams and hopes..
Doesn't change even under external pressure.
I did not give up my beliefs.
We have carried out our will and continued to do so..
He lived for others more than anyone else, helped the weak, and corrected wrongs..
“This is the time!”
Zhuge Sang gritted his teeth and shouted..
“There is no need to overlook the circumstances of the heinous martial arts exploits.!
Kill him before more damage is done!”
To Nangong Weimu, Zheng Baek was a hero..
“Haaaaaap!”
Ju Seo-cheon surrendered himself to Zhuge Sang's command..
‘Murim lord……’
I bite my lips tightly..
I held my sword tightly with the feeling of vomiting blood..
It's wrong.
The worst thing was that this was the best..
‘really, really……’
I was disgusted by my own incompetence..
In his past life, Sword Saint and Nangong Weimu remained a hero..
I was never a person who would end my life as a villain..
Even though he gave birth to the Young Lady of Darkness and committed wrong and evil deeds, he was not the kind of person who would face such an end..
Puuk!
“Heheheok!”
Nangong Weimu coughed up blood due to the pain he felt in his chest..
The pure white beard turns red..
“I will end the Namgung family’s mistakes as Sogaju.!”
Namgung Seon-yu bowed his head..
I felt like I was going to cry, so I gritted my teeth and threw myself away..
An energy beyond imagination came over my body..
Clothes were cut and blood lines were drawn on the skin..
The hair was scattered in the wind..
Ignoring the pain of being torn and cut, he dug in from the side and plunged the sword into my grandfather's side..
Pooh wow!
“……Hehehehehe!”
Then I vomited blood again due to the pain that followed..
The strength of my firmly erected legs was loosened..
My vision became blurry..
I couldn't help but cry from the pain of my internal organs being torn apart..
“Wow……”
Faintly, I heard the sound of someone holding back tears..
Nangong Weiwu slightly turned his pupils to the side..
I saw my grandson trembling with his head down and his sword tightly clutched..
‘don't cry……’
I wanted to at least comfort you, but I couldn't..
For a more perfect behavior.
For Moorim.
act thoroughly.
‘I'm proud of you, Seonyu..’
The Namgung family will walk a thorny path in the future..
Shaolin Temple also received a lot of criticism in the past when it produced blood monks, and its reputation was greatly tarnished..
“It's over... … Namgung… … pacification!”
In particular, even though Namgung Seon-yu is finished, people will continue to call him the grandchild of the worst hypocrite..
It is certain that the victims of the Black Spirit and their bereaved families will be criticized and suffer while they are alive..
“die! It's the worst!”
There's no way my grandkids wouldn't know that..
Even though I knew full well what the aftermath would be, I accepted it..
The hero was not just Jeong Man..
‘He's sincere... … Is it possible to date a woman properly?……’
Grandchild, Changryong Namgung Seonyu was also a hero..
‘iced coffee……’
Consciousness gradually fades away.
My vision also became blurry..
I lifted my head that was about to fall and looked around..
‘Like this... … many… … hope……’
The Murim League and the political faction went through a crisis..
The future will also be difficult.
But I thought the end would never be dark..
It's not Namgung Seon-yu or Ju Seo-cheon..
Not only the older generation but also the new generation were trustworthy people..
I held back the smile that was about to form on my lips and raised my head..
Perhaps because of the snow, there were a lot of dark clouds..
And yet I saw the blue sky.
‘Changgung… … This is it!’
Wulin exploits, Namgung Weimu.
Dying as a hypocrite and a wicked person.
An uncontrollable storm hit Wulin..
The distrust of the political faction, the Murim faction, reached a peak due to the hypocrisy and corruption committed by the upper class of the Murim faction, including the Black Youngbu..
This was questioned and criticized, asking if this was true and what happened, and protests erupted one after another..
“Is it possible that even the monks condoned it??”
“Shh! The atmosphere is already scary! Watch your mouth!”
“Watch your mouth? Death penalty, what does that mean? Pretending not to see injustice?.
No matter how respected the previous generation is, what is wrong is wrong..
This is how it is... … Is this really how the Safaans are hypocrites, as they say sarcastically??”
Not only the immediate disciples of the nine factions and the five major families, but also the lay disciples and other small and medium-sized factions reacted violently, and bickering broke out every day..
In the end, with the return of Emperor Quan Dong, the symbol of execution for hypocrisy and corruption, the rumors were confirmed to be true, and the hostile atmosphere reached its peak..
When the news came that they would visit and execute them a month later, the Murim Alliance was literally on the verge of division..
however,
“Look, this is a big deal..”
“your money pocket?”
“That's a big deal too... … No, now is not the time. Have you heard about Nangong Weiwu??”
“Nangong Weiwu? Why is the Murim Lord?”
“Well, that Murim lord……”
“Is that really true now? I can't believe it.”
A month later, the shocking fact was revealed that all recent evil deeds were the work of Nangong Weimu..
But I couldn't accept it easily.
The Murim lord Namgung Weimu was a hero to all generations and a warrior respected by many warriors..
There was a strong sense of trust among the older and new generations as he was a hero and a great leader..
“I can't believe it, but it's true.
All branches of the Murim League have even made a public announcement..
In the name of the military, the earth dragon Zhuge Sang and the elders..”
“Is it possible that the upper class of the Murim League did that to avoid responsibility?……”
“That's not it. My relative is a warrior at the Murim Alliance headquarters, and he said he personally witnessed what happened that day..”
“Huh……”
Like Kang Ho's unfounded rumor, the source was not clear..
On the contrary, it was too accurate..
Starting from the headquarters of Anhui and Hefei, statements were made from each branch..
“Nangong Weiwu has been using his power to……”
Not just each branch.
There was a presentation by the five major families of the Old File Room..
Among them was Geomshin Ju Seo-cheon, a hero of the current martial arts world and a member of the Seven Seas of the Sangcheon, or rather, the Six Seats of the Sangcheon..
I had no choice but to believe it as Nangong Weimu's evil deeds were recited and publicized one after another, not only by the older generation but also by the new generation..
“That can't be possible!”
“Namgung Wimu is like that.……”
Of course, because it happened so suddenly, it was hard to accept it all..
Among them, there were some who did not believe until the end..
Geomseong was never the type of person to do that and criticized Gupailbang and Odaesae for their actions to avoid responsibility..
“Look, people change..
Even the clean Nangong Weimu became corrupted after tasting absolute power..”
“okay. Just accept it now.
If a person is perfect, what kind of person is that? A immortal or a Buddha.”
People are more sensitive to bad deeds than good deeds.
“The reason it's so hard to make a living is all because that bastard, Nangong Weimu, fulfills his own self-interest.?”
“The guy who will kill me with this shit!”
I was especially passionate about the corruption of noble and pure people..
Sa Do-cheon laughed inwardly, saying that he knew this would happen given the situation of the Murim Alliance, and the Murim Alliance cursed Namgung Weimu, who was the cause..
“Could it be that the Namgung family was also deceived??”
“Maybe that's not the case.
From what I heard, it seems that as the representative of the Murim Alliance, he criticized Nangong Weimu at the scene, and in the end, Sogaju Changryong himself took the stand and committed suicide..”
“Changryong himself? Was martial arts that strong??”
“It looks like he helped kill Gwon Dongje and Geomshin..
Didn’t Geomsin help Geomseon kill the blood demon before??”
“Indeed, I see..”
“We still have to wait and see, but since the Namgung family has clearly acknowledged the facts and invited the victims' families to apologize and compensate for the damages, it seems like they really had no choice but to be taken advantage of..”
“hmm……”
As a result, the plan was successful..
Under the leadership of the Murim League, Zhuge Shang, the intelligence organization Gao Gao and Hao Wen went out of their way to manipulate public opinion..
Distrust, hatred, anger and evil were directed to Nangong Weiwu..
Amcheonhoe.
Kwaaang!
I hit the desk with my only hand..
