Episode 500
To be honest, everyone here knows that the Emperor of the West, the man called Mazon, is strong.
The Sword Master clearly stated that he was similar to himself, or at least possessed powers that were at the highest level in our Heavenly Realm.
I know he’s strong. I admit it. Geumjeon isn’t a man who talks nonsense. That’s what’s important.
Even if the Demon Lord is strong, he is alone. Common sense tells us that he must have become the Emperor because he is that strong. In the Western Continent, that Demon Lord is probably the Supreme Being.
The pinnacle of the Western Continent.
From a strategic perspective, it is natural that when you hit someone in the head, those below you will be in disarray.
What would happen if everyone in the world rose up at once to kill the Demon Lord?
He will die with a 99.99% probability. If we take his head and go to the Western Continent to begin punishment, we will truly unify the continent. An unprecedented achievement of the Heaven and Earth will be achieved.
The eyes of the unmanned people of Cheonwicheon began to blaze. They smelled blood.
The expression on the swordsman’s face as he stared blankly at them became even colder.
There was silence for a moment. The swordsman asked.
“Zhuge Liang.”
“Your Majesty, please speak.”
“When you begged Cheonma for your life, how did you feel at that time?”
Zhuge Xian’s expression hardens. All those who had begged for their lives from Cheonma during the Battle of Jeongma hardened.
“I’m just curious. And since I’m getting older, I don’t remember very well, but were you the warrior who begged Cheonma to give him hands and feet?”
Zhuge Xian’s brow furrowed. Strictly speaking, the person that Hyuk Jin-gang is talking about now is Zhuge Xian.
Was it only him? It wasn’t just Jegal Seon who prayed that his hands and feet would become his. Those who survived the Battle of Jeongma and took refuge in Cheonwicheon, a total of eight warriors who are here now, prayed ‘together’ at that time.
It’s a bad memory. It’s a fu*king memory that I don’t even want to call a memory.
Hyukjin Kang just brought it up.
Zhuge Xian was overcome with emotion. He didn’t even think about controlling his emotions. He raised his spirits. At that moment, the heavenly palace was about to shake.
Boom-!!
With a loud noise, Zhuge Xian fell down. It wasn’t just Zhuge Xian. Starting with the Byeokandanje Jeonghwa, several other warriors fell to the ground together. In that state, they struggled to turn their heads to the side.
A pure white energy was surging from Hyukjin Kang’s body. Not only Jegal Seon, who was raising his energy, but also everyone who had been expressing their emotions outwardly was crushed by Hyukjin Kang’s energy. Along with that, even those who were not involved held their breath.
Because the atmosphere at Hyukjin River was very different from usual.
“Cheonwicheon has been controlling the order of the martial arts world.”
Sitting on his seat with one arm resting on one knee, Geomjon Hyukjin Kang exuded an overwhelming presence.
“Why did you come to govern order? Why did you allow the idea of strong self-respect to take root throughout the continent?”
“… … .”
“To prevent the end. To stop the Absolute and kill him. Cheonwicheon was created to protect peace.”
The sword master’s cold eyes scan the surroundings.
“Why did I accept a loser like you, Jegal Seon, into Cheonwicheon? Why did I accept a loser who begged for his life and put down all his pride as a warrior?”
Geomjon continued speaking silently.
“Because you have nothing to lose now. Because you have lost everything, because you have let go of even the smallest bit of pride you had, you have believed in the emptiness inside. You have filled that emptiness with faith and instilled purpose in it. You have given it new life.”

This was definitely the truth. The real truth that the famous warriors of the past had entrusted to Cheonwicheon.
“Since when has Cheonwicheon been a group that brags about its strength?”
“… … .”
“Turn the Western Continent into ruin? Kill the Emperor? Have I ever ordered anyone to kill Jack Milos?”
There was none. The Sword Master had never mentioned the Emperor of the Western Continent for even a moment.
There was no need to bring it up. The fundamental background is that Cheonwicheon is not an organization that runs wild because it wants to show off its power.
Everyone under that spirit knows this. If the Emperor, the head of the Heaven and Earth, doesn’t say anything, it means don’t do anything.
That was the rule and spirit that Hyukjin Kang had established while leading Cheonwicheon up until now.
“If the Western Continent must be destroyed, if Jack Milos must be killed, then I must be the one giving the order. I give the order and you act. Why do you act on your own? Why do you act on your own?”
There was power in the words of the swordsman. It was difficult to even live.
“The evil spirits betrayed the will of Cheon-wi-cheon because they could not control their temper. The same goes for Gwang-jeon. When did I tell Jack Milos to give him a nickname? When did I tell Jack Milos to fight Cheon-ma? When on earth did I allow you guys to act individually?”
Kugu Palace, the palace of heaven shakes. The warriors of Cheonwicheon gulped. There is no one who does not know that the Sword Lord is strong. Why would he be the Emperor? But this is… … beyond imagination.
“Zhuge Xian, answer me again with that pierced mouth. When did I ever tell you to do whatever you want?”
“I’m sorry… … I’m sorry… … .”
It wasn’t a satisfactory answer, but I had to be satisfied. This was a warning situation.
“Cheonwicheon is an organization for the ‘Day of Judgment.’ Why are those who once died as warriors now acting like warriors?”
The sword master pauses for a moment and closes his eyes. Phew.
“Our purpose is not to protect our pride. It is to protect peace. It is to protect our beliefs and protect the world. If you want to be an enforcer, if you want to be a member of the Heavenly Heaven, then follow the rules.”
The aura of the sword disappears. Everyone who had been lying down struggled to get up from their seats. The cold voice of the Emperor and the Hyukjin River pierced their ears.
“This is the last warning.”
The sword master is different from Jack. They are different, but they also have something in common. That is strength and the steadfastness to stand at the top.
Although our intentions and thoughts are different, they are just different. The fundamentals are the same.
The doctrine of the Sword Master is simple: to prevent the apocalypse.
To kill Ragnarok, you need a lot of strong unmanned units. I don’t know if Jack Milos will be an ally, but I would like him to be an ally if possible.
If necessary, you can ask Jack to be your ally even if it means bowing your head. You can beg. That’s the sword.
Looking at it differently, if the Western Continent had to be destroyed in order to kill Ragnarok, Sword Lord would destroy the Western Continent without hesitation.
A man crazy about a cause.
A man who, in common parlance, holds the philosophy that one must sacrifice one’s life for the greater good.
Hyuk Jin-gang, the leader of Cheonwicheon and the leader of the current generation of executors, was that kind of man.
He stood up from his seat.
“Order, do one.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in Cheonwicheon assumed a posture of prostration.

Everyone, including Jegal Seon and Je Ling Daesa, bowed down. This meant that they were ready to listen.
The swordsman said.
“I will now seal the opening. I will give you one day. Within that day, erase everything, including the symbol of opening. If necessary, collect the blood oath and kill anyone who resists. And Haomunju.”

“Yes. Your Majesty, here you are.”
Compared to the open and open activities of Gaepoong, Haomen was a secretive organization.
Most of the entertainment districts on the continent, including Changguan, are managed by Haomun. That was all. The meaning of a secret organization refers to the leader of Haomun.
Nothing was ever revealed about who the Haomen’s leader was, or whether he was male or female, middle-aged or old.
That was understandable.
Because Gaebong and Haomun are private organizations outside of Cheonwicheon.
Is it easy to instill the idea of self-respect in the continent? It is absolutely not easy.
It is not something that can be done simply with force. Many things must be in place, and the most important of these is information power.
Cheonwicheon dominates all information on the Eastern Continent. Gaepoong and Haomun were the key ones, and among them, Gaepoong has now disappeared.
So now Haomen’s role becomes important.
The man who answered that he was here was short. Perhaps the word short would be used in this context.
The realm is a realm of life and death.
He is a man who has never shown himself in the world of martial arts. That is why he has no nickname. He is simply Haomunju. His name is Lee Ho.
Age: 59 years old.
He was born and raised in Cheonwicheon and learned martial arts in Cheonwicheon.
The swordsman spoke to him.
“Openness disappears. Engrave in your bones why that openness disappeared.”
“Yes. I will engrave it deep in my heart.”
“And to find out where Jack Milos is going, no other intervention is permitted. That’s it.”
Everyone in Cheonwicheon, including Haomunju Lee Ho, answered at the same time.
“I follow the emperor’s command!”

The palace was left in ruins.
The place where Gwangjon and Jack first clashed is the Magungseong Fortress. To put it simply, it is Yoo Je-ha’s residence.
Most of the houses and buildings in the palace were destroyed, but there were some that were still intact. However, it was not Yu Je-ha’s residence.
Because, as I mentioned earlier, it was the place where Jack and Gwangjon first clashed.
But I think it’s called the homing instinct.
Yoo Je-ha was sitting in the place where his original residence was, looking a little dejected.
“It was a 300-year-old palace. All that’s left is this one stone block… … How ironic.”
It was a soliloquy. The large boulder that Yoo Je-ha was sitting on was a pillar inside the palace. To be exact, it was a fragment of a pillar.
The relief image of a dragon was proof of this.
Across from that Yoo Je-ha was Yoo Seol-ha.
She was looking at Yoo Jae-ha with a complicated expression, her arms crossed.
At that gaze, Yoo Jae-ha finally asks.
“Why are you looking at me like that? If you’re happy to see your brother after a long time, you should say that you’re happy.”

“… … Is that what you want to say?”
Yoo Jae-ha snickers.
The reason for the friction with Yuseolha was because a few people fought at the border between the Ice Palace and the Demon Palace. It wasn’t a big fight. It wasn’t like there were hundreds of casualties or anything like that.
But it made things a little bigger.
Why else would they have come out of Jeongcheonmaeng? The reason Taegeukgeomje called Yoo Seol-ha and Yoo Je-ha to Jongdo to mediate was because there was a risk that the friction would escalate.
The fundamental reason was the relocation of the Magungseong Fortress.
But now the relocation of that palace has been easily resolved.
The fact that Yuseolha is here is no different from the fact that the residents of Magungseong have safely arrived at the Ice Palace.
There was only one thing Yoo Je-ha had to say.
“thanks.”
“… … You bowed down on your own, so I should be grateful.”
The population has increased rapidly. I’m not talking about the population of the Demon Palace, but the population of the Ice Palace.
That means the power has grown stronger.
It is unknown whether they will migrate to the Western Continent, as they have not yet brought up the topic.
Even the residents of Magung, who are the parties involved, do not know.
Yoo Je-ha smiled leisurely.
