Shanxi.

parish prefecture.

Imjeonggaek store.

Contrary to its name, Imjeong Gaekjeom was located in the middle of a busy street.

Late at night, six Moorim people came to the provisional inn.

The owner, who had just come out of sleep, glanced at the guests with bloodshot eyes.

Clothes stained with blood on a hardened face.

The owner couldn’t even take a deep breath at the bloody appearance that had just come.

“Gulp cow guests, please wait a moment while the cow prepares the room.”

Gucheonno also nodded in pain, and the owner rushed to the second floor.

After the owner disappeared, the six of them took a seat in the restaurant with the lights off.

A heavy silence fell.

The person who broke the stuffy silence was a matchmaker.

“Everyone please leave tomorrow morning.”

My heartache asked when I was told to leave.

“What about Gongja?”

“Well, of course I need to find out what happened to my sister. You can’t just go.”

“How do you find out?”

Yeonjeokha replied casually to the question of Cheongwoon Sword Namgungcheon.

“I’m going to ask a famous religious leader.”

“Will the witch teach you? Didn’t you teach me before?”

“I will teach you. I will make it.”

“how?”

“Somehow.”

Namgungcheon was at a loss for words at Yeonjeokha’s determined words.

It seemed like one mana did it, but there was no other way, so there was nothing to oppose.

“Then I will stay and help.”

“no. I’ll be the only one left. Everyone else has to go back.”

“Leave Yeon-i and you behind?”

“Yes bro. To be honest, I don’t have the confidence to protect you from the famous religious leaders and the Golden Temple. Whoever my opponent is, I have the confidence to survive. But others won’t. I can’t make my sister live her life blaming herself.”

Of course, he said as if he would save Namgung-yeon.

It was baseless confidence, but Namgungcheon didn’t bother to point it out.

Because his wish was the same.

A sigh escaped from Namgungcheon’s mouth after staring at Yeonjeokha for a while.

“ha! i get it. I can’t be your burden in this situation. I’ll go home and tell my father and find a way. Don’t push yourself too hard either.”

“Yes bro. Thank you for your understanding.”

He bowed his head to Namgungcheon, who made the tough decision to date.

It was clear that he would not be able to forgive himself for being complacent if something went wrong with him here.

Namgungcheon’s decision also affected others.

There was no one who would insist on giving up even Namgung-cheon, a world-class master and blood relative.

dawn the next day.

The people of Namgungcheon and Seokgyeongjang quietly left the inn before dawn.

After seeing off Namgungcheon and the people of Seokgyeongjang, who were enemies, I went back to my room and slept more.

It was going to be a long fight in the future, so I was thinking of supplementing my stamina.

When the sun rose in mid-heaven, he rose again and went down to the dining room.

However, one person was enjoying dinner in a restaurant that should have been empty.

“Hey, are you awake now?”

The pain of holding a huge bone in his hand and biting it off, smiled and concealed himself.

Yeonjeokha, who was shaking his head, sat down across from him.

“Why didn’t you go?”

“Hehe, there must be someone to run the errands.”

“Just run errands. Don’t be greedy.”

I allowed the remnants of the heartache of the rivalry.

He wasn’t the kind of person to go just because he wanted to go, so he decided to leave it by his side.

“Are you admitting my inaction?”

“no.”

Around the beginning of the millennium (1:00 p.m.), the Eight Emperors suddenly attacked.

Subsequently, all the people staying in Bonn as well as the regular customers in the restaurant were kicked out.

The Eight Emperors even sent out the workers of Imjeonggaek.

A middle-aged woman landed on the yard of an inn that had ceased to be popular.

She was the mother of the Eighthwangsin.

After taking a quick look around, she walked lightly toward the annex.

outbuilding.

Yeonjeokha, who was discussing the ‘secret plan to deal with the Eighthwangsinmo’ with heartache on the floor, turned his head.

The mother of the Eighthwangs, who should have been in the shrine, was entering the annex through Woldongmun.

‘What harmony is this again?’ I just wanted to stare blankly.

I’m struggling to find a way to meet the Eighthwangsinmo, but you’re looking for me?

Heartache, startled, ran down the yard.

“Why, Master? What did you come for?”

“I have something to share with Yeon Jeok-ha, so please step aside.”

“yes? yes yes.”

Simtong bowed his back with an exaggerated motion.

Since Yeon Jeok-ha wanted so much to be alone with the Eighthwangsinmo, there was no need for words.

When the heartache disappeared in the direction of the anchae, the Eighthwangsinmo said to Yeonjeokha.

“Believe it or not, I’m not here to fight you.”

“To believe the words of the person who kidnapped my wife...?”

Yeon Jeok-ha, belatedly reminded of the heartache request, raised his words.

Anyway, this is because Namgung-yeon’s life and death are still in the mouth of the Eighthwangsinmo.

Eighthwangsinmo leisurely climbed onto the floor and sat down across from Yeonjeokha.

“I don’t have a lot of time, so I’ll say it without hesitation. How far have you heard from Jeokwol?”

When the name of Jeokwol suddenly came out, Yeonjeokha hesitated.

This is because it is difficult to guess the intentions of the Eighthwangsinmo.

“Are you listening? What?”

Yeonjeokha tried to escape, but Eighthwangsinmo did not give him a chance.

“I know better than you what kind of person Jeokwol is. He must have told you.”

“So what did you say?”

“His and my past.”

“The past? Did you two even date?”

Eighthwangsinmo laughed at Yeonjeokha’s nonsense.

“What happened to Empress Dowager Ten is not irrelevant to the red moon and my past. But since you say you don’t know, I have nothing more to say.”

“Don’t talk nonsense! Why are you dragging Sister Yeon into your past history!”

“If you don’t know about it, I don’t want to mention it with my own mouth. It’s not about that.”

“....”

Glancing at the Eighthwangsinmo, biting his teeth.

If it had been Namgoongyeon, he would have seen through the Eighthwangsinmo’s intentions and responded appropriately. But unfortunately, he can’t do that.

“I wonder what the red moon said?”

The Eighthwangsinmo nodded.

After thinking for a while, the serial killer poured out what he wanted to say as if a dam burst.

“I said you were an alumnus of Taeilgwan. He said he killed the monk with you. He regretted what he did when he was used by you. That’s it.”

Eighthwangsinmo, who had been listening silently, opened her mouth.

“He is only half right. It wasn’t me who used him. Everything he and I did was God’s will.”

“What kind of dog-like gods are there? Aren’t you doing whatever you want and using God as an excuse?”

“Hehe, I wish I could live the way I want to and receive such criticism.”

“So. What does that have to do with your abduction of sister Yeon?”

“The annihilation of Taeilgwan is not my will. It was entirely according to the Word of God.”

“The editorial is long.”

At Yeonjeokha’s criticism, the Eighthwangsinmo hesitated for a moment.

He couldn’t understand why he was making excuses like this.

Could it be the pull of fate?

Or maybe it’s because of their own selfish desires.

“The night before you all went up the mountain, that Shin-eon wanted Namgung-yeon. I didn’t want to follow, but I couldn’t resist the prophecy. Prophecy was my destiny.”

“What bullshit is that? Why is your crazy god here?”

The ‘crying’ Yeonjeokha hit the table.

With a roar of ‘bang!’, the heavy table collapsed helplessly.
