Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 1017

Reclaiming History (1)

The Murim Alliance was once in an uproar.

The head of Anhui’s defeated Nangong family died, and the famous head of Shaanxi’s Qingshijamun family also died.

There were widespread rumors that Namgung Gaju’s death was the work of Yeon Ho-jeong, who last met him, but thanks to the determination and quick actions of the leader, Ambassador Gong, it was able to remain as a suspicion rather than a fact.

However, before anything could be properly resolved, news came that Munju of the Cheongsa Advisory Council had died.

Surprisingly, the people who were with Sajamunju until the end were Ambassador Gong and Seunghyeon Jinin.

When the news spread, the members could not hide their embarrassment and surprise.

Yeon Ho-jeong was known for his unconventional behavior, was young, and was famous for his incredible talent rather than his virtue.

However, Master Gong Gong was famous throughout the world for his deep compassion and virtue as the head of Taesan Bukdu, the leader of Shaolin, rather than his martial arts skills.

That was why everyone recognized him as the leader. Even though Ambassador Gong Gong was at the center of the anti-black faction, only a very few people believed that he killed Sajamunju.

Only then did the monks realize. There is something going on within the Murim Alliance that they are not aware of.

Because the prestige of the public ambassador was so great, the public opinion that the leaders of the League were running rampant to eliminate the anti-black faction did not even surface.

At that time, Geomje Namgung Seung transported his grandson to the military department and revealed in detail what he had done.

As is the case with public ambassadors, Namgung Seung’s candid remarks shook the Murim Alliance.

No matter how much I hate the anti-black faction, there is no way I would use my grandson or even tarnish my family’s name to push it forward.

Public opinion flipped in an instant, and the atmosphere became bloody and heated at the same time.

The Murim people, who hated the black sword and belonged to the anti-black faction, had no choice but to keep their mouths shut. Even though they did not know the detailed circumstances, they had an intuition that their words and actions had caused a fatal situation.

The momentum of the anti-black faction subsided in an instant.

Unable to leave their home, they were confined to their home and were anxious. If they made a mistake and were expelled from the Murim Alliance, they would have to resign from the Baekdo faction even before the war broke out.

Meanwhile, there were people who grumbled that this might also be part of a larger conspiracy.

Of course, there were only a very small number of people and they did not dare to speak out in front of others. This was because it could be a remark that insulted the public ambassador and Namgung Seong and at the same time could be a remark that did not recognize the Murim Alliance itself.

The boiling atmosphere suddenly died down due to a few incidents.

The Murim Alliance, which tried to appease the public sentiment, had no choice but to turn its ax toward anti-black fighters in this unlikely situation. It was common sense.

However, the Murim League did not officially expel the warriors or sects who belonged to the anti-black faction. I was angry and it was a serious situation, but if I couldn’t embrace it, it could have resulted in revealing the limitations of the Murim Alliance.

When everyone is swallowing dry saliva and feeling nervous in the calm before the storm.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who caught the culprit, headed to Maengjubu with warriors dispatched by the Murim Alliance.

Bomu also walked confidently as if there was nothing to worry about. Although he was formally deprived of the freedom of both arms by the warriors of Meng, with Yeon Ho-jeong’s skills, he would be able to break free of even that much of a restraint in a split second.

The Murim Alliance was not only filled with warriors belonging to the anti-black faction. Recently, the anti-black movement was so strong that it was not revealed, but there were also many people who believed in the policy that black and white should join forces to prepare for war.

They cheered for Yeon Ho-jeong, who proudly appeared, and stuck out their tongues as they stared at the culprit who led this incident.

And when it became known that the culprit was Se-jak, a young leader of the Gangseo Sangmu Association and dispatched by the Three Churches a long time ago, the astonishment of the bandits soared to the sky.

This is already the second time that the Murim Alliance has been overturned due to the enemy’s actions. The leaders did not want to publicize this fact, but they felt that the incident had become too big to cover up and ignore.

In the end, we had no choice but to reveal the truth, even if it meant losing confidence in the Murim Maeng’s abilities. Stories flowed about the identity of the criminal and how he roasted and boiled people while working as a sejak.

The blind followers could not easily believe that Namgung Gaju and Sajamunju committed suicide due to the criminal Hong Ik-cheon’s speaking skills, and that Namgung-hyeon even equipped a fire bomb.

For this part, the leaders of Meng had no choice but to explain that it was a terrible magic attack with illusion techniques added. It was because it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to accept it even if I told him the truth.

Even the leaders found it difficult to believe that people could be manipulated to that extent with just speaking skills.

The atmosphere of the Murim Alliance, which was full of cold silence, changed overnight to resemble a mourning house.

Among them, the anti-black warriors did not even dare to raise their heads. When they realized that they had made a big mistake and had shaken the Murim Alliance due to the Sejak dispatched by the three religions, the clans were so frightened that they left the door.

Among them, there were quite a few people who decided to leave the Murim Alliance on their own because their feet were numb.

It was a situation where, if one were to make a mistake, the faction itself could be erased by inciting a civil war. Rather, he decided that the only way to continue the history of the sect would be to plead guilty first and then step down.

The Murim Alliance did not respond to their withdrawal.

As time passed, the anti-black warriors became increasingly anxious and did not know what to do. I would have felt at ease even if it was regrettable if they had given me an official answer, but instead, they continued to remain silent, which made me feel like my blood was drying up.

And another day passed.

The culprit, Hong Ik-cheon, and several anti-black fighters who had talked with him were brought to the execution hall for interrogation. Of course, Yeonhojeong was the same.

Hong Ik-cheon answered all questions honestly, and the warriors who had formed a relationship with Hong Ik-cheon and were at the center of the agitation were completely entranced during the investigation.

Naturally, the story about the investigation process spread throughout the Murim Alliance. Because Zhuge Wenhu deliberately spread the rumor quickly, everyone knew the full story of the incident in less than half an hour.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s status changed from suspect to victim in an instant. The fact that they were able to capture Sejak even under such pressure gave the members a feeling that is difficult to describe in words.

Another day passed like that.

The atmosphere of the Murim Alliance had become so cold that it could no longer go down.

* * *

“Not good.”

Zhuge Wenhu’s face was serious.

“The atmosphere in the team has become too chaotic. “This is not a good atmosphere right now, where war may break out at any time.”

If there is no immediate risk of war, we could use these incidents as a stepping stone to create a more united and trustworthy Murim Alliance.

But the timing was bad.

The anti-black warriors were so discouraged that they were crawling on the floor, but the leaders of the Murim Alliance could not see it with any joy.

As public opinion on one side was on the verge of death, on the other hand, fear of the risk of war and the three religions began to creep in.

Before trust, the Murim Alliance was the largest alliance of Baekdo political factions. Since such an alliance was shaken twice with just three actions, the morale of the leaders had no choice but to hit the ground.

It became a situation where no one could trust each other and it was difficult to even come up with the right opinion. It was because he thought that if he made a mistake, he could be accused of being punished.

With just one trifle, the unity of the group was shaken to its roots. The aftermath was on a different level from the previous Sejak incident.

Hatred and moderate fear toward the three religions are good. Since it is a situation where they have to fight at any time, such emotions will be able to maintain unity and tension among members.

But now the atmosphere has gone too far.

“Is this really the end?”

The face of the public ambassador also became serious.

“This was clearly a fatal incident that shocked the world, but looking at the incident itself, it feels like it was resolved too quickly.”

It was thanks to the quick response of Yeonhojeong and Prince Moyong.

However, looking at Hong Ik-cheon’s incredible ability and the size of the incident, it felt like things were organized too quickly and neatly.

In particular, Hong Ik-cheon confessed everything without any lies.

He confessed everything, starting with the fact that he was from Saeumgyo, one of the three religious schools, how he came to the central plains, how he met the last person of the Water Dragon God Chimdo, and how the subsequent events took place.

With that level of mental strength, I don’t think he would have opened his mouth even if he was subjected to terrible torture, but everything he said was true.

“I don’t feel good.”

“So do i.”

“But I don’t think there’s anything more to it than this. “If something like that had happened, I don’t think Sejak would have spewed out the whole truth.”

“Starting with Hyeongdang, we reinvestigated all the samurai in the castle. This is because we could not rule out the possibility that there was another story or information book related to Hong Ik-cheon. But…”

“There won’t be any.”

“I’m not sure about anything, but it seems to me that there are no other reports or information books.”

“Hmm.”

Ambassador Gong Gong looked at Zhuge Zhenyan sitting next to him.

Zhuge Yan’s face was somewhat pale. This was because he was greatly shocked by the fact that Namgoong Hyun had tried to kidnap him.

But she was coping well. This is because we face a much bigger problem than that.

Ambassador Gong said with a sigh.

“I don’t know what’s going on. However, the atmosphere in Meng is not very good. “We need to find a way to break this atmosphere as soon as possible.”

“That’s my opinion too.”

Zhuge Wenhu looked at Yeon Hao-jeong sitting next to him and drinking tea.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s expression was calm. It didn’t look leisurely, but it didn’t look overly serious either.

An expression that is difficult to read.

Zhuge Wenhu asked.

“What does Sobuju think of this situation?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Yeon Ho-jeong.

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was sipping tea, suddenly stood up.

“Soldier and leader.”

“You tell me.”

“Please let me meet Hong Ik-cheon.”

Zhuge Li looked at the ambassador.

Ambassador Gong Gong, who was quietly examining Yeon Ho-jeong’s face, spoke in a slightly nervous voice.

“It’s not difficult. “I just want to ask you one thing.”

“yes. “Please speak.”

“Do you think that another incident related to Sejak could occur, Sobuju?”

Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.

“In my opinion, Sejak has completed all his tasks.”

“…is it.”

“But the problem lies in what happens in the future.”

“Are you talking about the Murim Alliance?”

“It could become a problem for the Murim Alliance and the entire martial arts community in the central region.”

“How can you think like that?”

Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his head.

“Can I tell you after I confront Sejak? “I have something to check with him.”

The public ambassador nodded.

“Sure. Just be careful. “I know well Sobuju’s ability, but I feel uneasy because he is the type of person who can bring people to that point with just his speaking skills.”

“In that case, I will take a trustworthy person with me.”

“A trustworthy person?”

Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Jegal A-yeon.

Zhuge Zhen’s eyes were round.

“me?”

“You two are busy. “I know you’re probably too distracted by this, so come with me and try to get your mind off things.”

“That’s…”

Zhuge Yan looked at Gong Gong and Zhuge Wenhu.

The two people nodded.

“Go on. “This will also be a good study.”
