Episode 1118 Demon King of Fire (7)
That night.
The Yeonwi gathered the Danju and Daeju of the Icheon army and explained all the operations and came to the royal palace.
Yeon Ho-jeong was alone at the palace, looking at a map. His hand gestures and eyes, as he looked intently at the map and moved dozens of small wooden dolls, were like those of a seeker.
Yeonwi couldn’t decide whether it was okay to disturb his son.
Fortunately, his son solved his worries.
“Are you here?”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had placed a wooden doll on the west side of the imperial palace, looked at Yeon Wi.
A sad look appeared on Yeonwi’s face.
My son woke up after five days of sleep and looked pretty good. But after only a day, I was already full of fatigue.
“How are you feeling?”
“All I do is look at maps and use my brain. it’s okay.”
“You guy. As the Grand Commander of the Imperial Palace, you are in charge of both the Imperial Palace troops and the entire Hebei Army. “You should never overdo it.”
“It’s not unreasonable to use your head. Rather, I am more worried about my father and the soldiers. “I end up worrying about my eyeballs, but other people have to worry about their lives.”
Yeonwi had a wonderful son.
‘You’ve grown really nicely.’
I thought about the first time my son changed.
The son, who returned after living a life as a black sword master, was unstoppable and sharp unlike before, and mastered martial arts with incredible talent.
Afterwards, he overthrew the Nine Ju Myeongga, joined the Murim Alliance and engaged in all kinds of political strife, defeating the vicious Black Island, and defeating the three great leaders of the Three Religions.
Until then, Yeonwi was positive about her son’s changes, but was very worried. They said it was okay, but when they saw the followers of the three religions, the son’s temper turned into a ghost and saw blood, so even to say that it was excessive was not enough.
But what about now?
Based on countless conversations and experiences, my son has become a completely different person.
It was not because he had returned to his former position as the Great Master of the Black Path. That wasn’t really that important.
The son, who was even more extreme than the Black Sword, and had many exciting moments, but was also overly rebellious and could incur the wrath of many people, was now proudly becoming the great general of the imperial palace.
He became the owner of an outstanding organization called Heukjeseong, and there were many subordinates who would jump into the fire with firewood under his command.
Nevertheless, the son never carelessly took the lives of his subordinates. On the contrary, when a subordinate was in danger, there were many times when he himself took the initiative to defeat the threat.
It would have been like that even before returning to the past. But now, unlike in the past when Yeon Ho-jeong ran wild like a madman, he is simultaneously showing his dignity as the highest martial arts leader and the dignity of the head of an organization.
Yeonwi was proud of her son.
I was worried about my son even when he was ahead of me in martial arts. However, when he saw his son become the lord of the Black Emperor and stand here for the world, Yeonwi finally realized that his eldest son had become an absolute figure of immortality.
An absolute being with morality and faith, dignity and love, strength and mercy, coolness and firmness.
‘There is no time left.’
At least I didn’t have to worry about my family anymore. In other words, after this war was over, it seemed like it would be good to live a life just for myself.
“The great soldier’s eye must not fall out. By your judgment, hundreds of soldiers may live and thousands of soldiers may die. “You should not overestimate your body, which has reached its peak, and take good care of it.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Yeonwi sat in front of the map.
“I have given orders to the Danju and the major lords.”
“What about them?”
“hmm? “What do you mean?”
“It’s about trust in your father. In other words, contrary to my respect for the head of the family, I have never fought with him, so I am sure I am not completely uneasy.”
Yeonwi smiled.
Although this remark may sound like he is belittling his father, he was once again impressed and impressed by his son who was looking at the situation calmly.
“There are still some awkward parts. “I am just thankful that the training was good overall.”
“My father is both a commander and a strategic weapon. If he does not follow such a person’s orders immediately, he may suffer harm that he should not have suffered.”
“Know. “I will try too.”
“The problem is that there is only half a day left before the expedition… … “I will see them later.”
“okay.”
Yeonwi, who was nodding, cleared his throat for a moment.
“There’s one thing I’d like to ask.”
“You are talking about Master Muheo.”
“As expected, you look like a ghost.”
A look of puzzlement appeared on Yeonwi’s face.
“I know very well that your military strategy and martial arts skills are better than anyone else’s, but why did you bring in Master Muheo?”
I wasn’t worried about Master Muheo’s martial arts. In the first place, if you look at martial arts, he was the person closest to being the strongest martial artist.
The problem was in the hands of Master Muheo. Although he traveled to the central plain for a long time, the number of evildoers he killed did not exceed ten. He really gave a chance to those who saw the end of evil, and if that didn’t work, he just took his life.
Are you sending someone like that to war? It was not easy for the Yeonwi to understand.
“Takmuja Seonbae also said the same thing. “Don’t trust Master Muheo’s fighting ability.”
“Did you say that?”
“yes. “The fact that even a friend who was closer to me than anyone else said something like that, doesn’t mean that Master Muheo was truly a great person.”
Yeonwi nodded.
“okay. “It is truly a great thing that one can practice such great martial arts and still have deep compassion.”
“hmm? “Oh, I said something wrong.”
“… … ?”
“What makes Master Muhe so great is not because of his compassion.”
“what?”
“Even those closest to him did not know his true nature, which meant that Master Muheo’s ability to properly hide his true nature was remarkable.”
Yeonwi widened her eyes.
“Master Muhe… … Are you hiding your true nature?”
“I didn’t know either until I met him separately.”

“… … her! Does this mean that Master Muheo is truly prepared to see blood?”
“It seems that my yellow dragon eye is sharper than my father’s heart sword in that respect.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled like a morning star.
“If you say it, Muheo Daesa will do it. “He is a person who can be more radical and scary than anyone else.”
* * *
Sigh.
The prison door opened.
Sarah. Sarah.
The sound of clothes rubbing against the damp floor was strangely eerie.
Flashing.
The monster trapped in the iron cage opened his eyes.
Even though the dantian was destroyed and all martial arts were lost, the monster’s eyes were shining bright blue. Those eyes are reminiscent of the devil, so if a person with a weak heart were to encounter them, they might faint.
However, the person who faced the monster through the iron bars was extremely calm.
“… … “Who is this?”
The monster’s murky voice did not sound like a human at all.
“Am I dreaming? Well, that could be possible. “Because I’ve been trapped here for too long.”
“… … .”
“Okay, I don’t think it was a dream. Even though all my strength has been lost, my soul, which I have cultivated throughout my life, still keeps me from going crazy.”
“It’s been a while.”
“I never thought I would see you in a place like this.”
The monster giggled.
“why? “Did you bother crawling all the way to this dirty place just to see my miserable little bastard?”
Master Mu He smiled bitterly.
“You haven’t changed at all from before. In fact, it seems to have become more extreme than before.”
“My nickname is Blood Jade Demon Lord. “Did you really think that I would attain enlightenment and go to the Pure Land of Paradise?”
The face of Gwak Jun, the monster and blood jade demon, was distorted grotesquely.
Master Mu He shook his head.
“Didn’t they say that enlightenment is open to everyone? Yes, even though I committed an indelible sin, if I repented and opened my heart, even if it was belated… … .”
“If you came to me to say that kind of bullshit, then get the hell out of here. “I don’t want to see the face of a ghost pretending to be Buddha.”
“… … .”
“By the way, your face is also very damaged. Does this mean that even the power of time cannot be avoided? “I think you’ve lost quite a bit of weight, too?”
It was a body that contained hell energy for a long time. Although I recovered, I could not return to the same body as before.
Let alone my body, I don’t have much life left. And Master Muheo felt no regrets about his condition.
“Anyway, it’s nice to see you once again. And it’s a shame.”
“What was so disappointing?”
Kwak Jun’s mouth twisted.
“I should have ripped off some of the flesh covering your face before you rotted in a place like this. If that were the case, wouldn’t we have been able to show the whole world the face of a ghost who acts like a fool?”
“Yes, I guess so.”
Master Muheo’s eyes deepened.
“Because you were that age, you had no choice but to be obsessed with me.”
Kwak Jun’s face became even more distorted.
“I loathe you.”
“… … .”
“I loathe you more than the lowest and filthiest person in the world.”
“Know.”
“Why on earth are you hiding your true nature so much? Because of such trivial religious teachings? You go to nirvana after you die? Do you really think something like that is possible?!”
“… … .”
“You could become greater than anyone! The world praises Hyeokryunhwi and calls him Demon Seon, but he has not even set foot in the magic path! You were the person better suited to the magic world than anyone else! “If you hadn’t ignored your true nature, you might have been able to rule the world as the greatest demon of all time!”
“… … .”
“I loathe you! You have forgotten your own genius and have become a beard with a shaved head, hanging yourself on a substanceless enlightenment! “I don’t know what they are doing, tarnishing such a precious gem and making it lose its value by building up a mountain of stones!”
“You see it as a gem, but I see it as a temptation of the devil leading to sin.”
“Stop that nonsense! There is no such thing as sin in this world! “The world of today, which limits people with nice-sounding words like morality and law, is wrong, but it is definitely wrong!”
“If everyone lived by what you said, this world would turn into a hell full of crazy killers. “There will be countless people groaning and suffering.”
“That is providence! That’s why we came into this world! Therefore, the devil is the only absolute law that leads to truth!”
“Because I realized that the unique and absolute law you think is actually an illusion and the howl of beasts that cannot even control their desires, I washed away my vicious nature with the teachings of Buddha.”
Kwak Jun glared at Master Mu He as if he were going to kill him.
“You are a traitor to Demon. “That Yeon Ho-jeong guy at least didn’t forget that he was an incomparable murderous ghost.”
“I didn’t forget either.”
“… … what?”
“I also did not forget that I am a beast that can come closer to the devil than any devil of the past or present.”
Master Mu He looked at Guo Jun with deep eyes.
“At this point, I can become aware of that fact once again.”
Master Muheo stood up and turned around.
“thanks. “After meeting you, I was able to return to being a winged wolf covered in rabbit skin.”
“… … ?!”
“Just for a little while.”
In this way, Master Muhe left the prison.
Kwak Jun glared at the door for a long time after Master Muheo left.
