Chapter 476

Episode 476

“Did you hear that story?”

“A story about an inspection team that was dispatched to Chengdu returning after suffering hardships?”

“It’s impossible not to know. “The entire Murim Alliance is in an uproar with that news.”

“It turns out that more than half of the audit team members were members of the senior faction, right?”

“You are a person whose true intentions are clearly visible. “I can’t help but feel sorry for you.”

“By the way, I heard that Shakya Jang (析家莊) was reborn. “If this is the case, what will happen to the punishment of the Cheonan Inspector General?”

“well. “It is said that the Black Islanders repented for the sins they committed and were judged by the law, but that does not eliminate the fact that the Dragon King received compensation.”

“But isn’t there room for extenuation? It didn’t really cause any harm to the general public. Rather, you found and rescued those who had been unfairly harmed by black thieves, right?”

“Yes, but...”

A guesthouse near Murimmaeng.

Cheon Ga-ryeong, who was appeasing her hunger with cheap somen and eavesdropping on the conversation of the customers sitting next to her, burst into laughter.

It was already visible that public opinion was leaning towards Yeonsun.

Originally, there was a sharp conflict between those who supported and those who criticized, but now the ratio has clearly changed.

‘Of course.’

The heroic actions that Yeonsun has shown so far have instilled confidence in the public.

It was shining now.

As she put down her chopsticks and sipped her tea, she heard the voices of middle-aged warriors talking on the other side.

“This time, the shaman faction sent someone, right?”

“shaman? “I heard it was a volcanic wave.”

When I glanced out of the corner of my eye, I saw that everyone was a martial arts leader.

She narrowed her eyes and concentrated her energy to enhance her hearing.

“As people accumulate virtue, help comes in from all over when needed.”

“Who doesn’t? “I heard you recently delivered a huge donation to the martial arts forces in charge of the battle lines, right?”

Let’s say someone commits a hundred (100) mistakes and donates three hundred (300).

What do people think when they see that?

In all likelihood, they would have thought it was a ploy to cover up a crime they had committed.

They say they are being hypocritical in order to put out an urgent fire right away.

On the other hand, what if a person who committed a hundred mistakes donates thirty thousand?

It was inevitable that the crime committed by the target would feel trivial and light.

Because the scale of the case is different.

‘Opinions are bound to differ depending on how it is received.’

The world’s current evaluation of the person named Yeon-woon was exactly like that.

Messengers from each Segawa clan came to the Maeng headquarters and conveyed their wishes for leniency. How could public opinion not be affected by this?

“Have you been waiting long?”

As she put down her teacup, thinking about what would happen in the future, a man with deeply pressed bamboo ribs appeared in front of her.

There was a look of confusion on Cheon Ga-ryeong’s face as he shook his head.

Even though we were members of the same department, I couldn’t get along with the man in front of me.

That’s because he was the person who was designated as the next open governor.

Wonryong (夗龍) Jang Wan.

Ga Gyeong had similar characteristics to Hao Mun, but at the same time, he was also a martial power that was located at the opposite point.

Since ancient times, the relationship between Hao Wen and Ga Jing has never been good.

Now, as they face a common enemy called the Demonic Cult, they are avoiding unnecessary friction, but even that would have been impossible without the presence of the Dragon King.

Phew!

The energy emanating from the original dragon’s entire body covered the surroundings.

Cheon Ga-ryeong, who confirmed that the miraculous membrane had unfolded, opened his mouth with a businesslike expression.

“Let’s just take care of business quickly and then part ways.”

It was a rare sight that could not be seen anywhere else.

Even if he was an old man with a century-old snake inside him, he seemed to make that kind of expression when faced with a hopeless reality.

‘I feel refreshed inside.’

As I said before, I am not a very personable person.

The reason I went all the way to prison and brought the letter from Cheongseongmunju to Yeongseong Dojang was just to see his reaction.

‘In the end, the choice that the Cheongseong faction could choose was decided.’

No matter how obvious the mistake was, it would not have been easy for the Qingcheng faction to make the decision to throw away the spiritual seal.

No matter how he appears in the eyes of others, it is clear that Yeongseong Dojang is a person who has devoted himself to the Qingcheng Sect.

Practical issues would also have to be taken into consideration.

So I sent them a compendium to make it easier for them to make a decision.

Considering the loss that the Qingcheng Sect would suffer due to the fall of the Lingcheng Dojo, he scratched their itch.

‘No matter what attitude the Qingcheng faction takes, the fall of the Yongseong dojo is inevitable.’

Even if the Youngseong Dojo is overthrown, I don’t know if the owner of the Cheonbong Trading Company will really try to cut off business with the Qingcheng Sect.

However, it was clear that the relationship between the two parties was established thanks to the resourcefulness of the Youngseong Dojo, and it was clear that the Qingcheng Sect had that in mind.

‘In that case, it’s enough to suggest an alternative.’

Groups, not individuals, were bound to move based on their own interests.

The Blue Star faction would have had no choice but to choose the option with the lowest risk.

It was a structure in which one person had to make a sacrifice to achieve an amicable ending.

I don’t know how much effort was put into completing this painting.

‘There is nothing to see here anymore.’

With this, Yongseong Dojo lost everything he had built up.

Sooner or later, he will lose his status as a leader and have to return home.

As an elder of the Murim League, he enjoyed all kinds of luxuries and pleasures, but will he be able to return to the monastery and spend the rest of his life being treated like an old man in the backroom?

I thought that possibility was low.

“Then I’ll just leave.”

I left the prison, leaving behind Yeongseong Dojang, who was lying on the floor and sobbing.

The pouring sunlight stung my eyes.

I muttered, squinting my eyes slightly.

‘This will be a warning to the elders.’

This troublesome thing wasn’t done simply to drive the spiritual dojo into despair.

Honestly, if I had put my mind to it, I could have prevented the current situation.

The reason he accepted this cut-throat battle called public opinion was to instill fear in other elders.

‘If you want to make people as seniors as they are agitated, you have to give them this much of a shock.’

It showed the process of completely destroying the values that the elders considered more important than life.

If they had any sense, they would have figured out what I was trying to say.

It was good to engage in political strife.

But you had to know how to use the means.

Because Youngseong Dojang was blinded by his desire for revenge, he crossed a river that he should not have crossed.

At a time when an all-out war with the Demonic Cult was about to occur, the only option was to cause internal conflict and all die together.

‘In my heart of hearts, I want to kick out all those who went along with that stupid plan.’

Unfortunately, there was no time to do so.

From now on, we must focus all of our capabilities on the Demonic Cult.

There should be no mistake about priorities.

Now that the goal of suppressing the internal enemy had been achieved, it was time to prepare for a decisive battle.

“Whoa.”

I pursed my lips and let out a long sigh.

As I felt the warm spring breeze, I felt much more refreshed.

I hummed a tune and walked in the direction of Cheonan Gambu.
