Chapter 162
It went pat on Jeok Ryuns head and a blue flame rose.
The evil energy dissipated and her emotion began to leak out.
Anger, hatred, stubbornness and
Seol Young moved forward to take a closer look, but at that moment, Jeok Ryuns sword moved in a strange line. The sharp tip of her sword wasnt pointed at Zaha but to cut Seol Young down.
?
Seol Young doubted his eyes. He had seen countless ghosts since he was born but it was the first time that a ghost cut him for throwing a talisman.
!
Even Zaha was shocked. Who wouldnt be shocked if the opponent he was fighting suddenly aimed their sword to someone else?
Insane
The killing intent in his eyes was gone, and he was no longer alert.
No! High Governor! Do not get distracted! Or the three of us will die!
Seol Young shouted and looked at her.
With the sword coming for his forehead, he made eye contact
The next moment, the sword was withdrawn.
And it began to spin insanely around the tower.
Above?
Seol Young was puzzled now.
When people in Silla wished for something, they would go around a tower and pray. And now Jeok Ryun, who had been moving around the tower with her hair flying, vanished.
[Ahhhhh!]
There was a sharp scream. It was the same shout she made in the past when Seol Young fought with the Vermillion Bird troops.
Seol Young was dazed.
I was wrong.
Zaha approached him and asked,
Wrong about what?
The sound in the past, when I summoned the ghosts here, I thought I woke her temper and she responded but no.
Then?
We will have to find that out now.
Seol Young looked at the tower where she had vanished.
We need to go around the tower.
And the three of them went there and stood in the order of Zaha, Hwa Un, and Seol Young according to their ranks, then they went around the tower.
Hwa Un took a couple of steps and then stopped.
Wait, what am I doing now?
At that moment, Seol Young followed him and slammed into his back, and Zaha was behind him.
Hwa Un had no choice but to move again. And how many laps did they do?
The surrounding scenery, which had been repeating, turned blurry, and at some point, near the front, someones back could be seen.
It was a woman with gold beads hanging over her long hair and decorated with splendid accessories.
Jeok Ryun-rang?
Then the woman suddenly jumped off the tower and ran. At some point, the place turned into the royal palace.
And the woman stood tall.
She was pretty, like a doll, but her eyes were like those of a beast.
[Ack!]
One of the ladies-in-waiting screamed as she fell. Her shoulders were stained with blood.
Everywhere the girl went, blood would drip from her sword.
What is all this? Is she born with such madness that she goes insane whenever she doesnt see blood?
Zaha mumbled.
And the curious voice of the people could be heard.
[Who would get close to you? If you dont like people a little bit, you go and wield your sword right away!]
[That is not a human! That is an evil demon born with the mask of a human!]
[If you cannot control that killing intent inside your heart, a great chaos will ensue the royal family.]
And as a solution, she went to learn swordsmanship from the instructor who taught the crown prince.
[Ha!]
With a scream, her light body jumped down, and she swung her sword. She had cut down all the wooden dolls.
Jeok Ryun was a genius of geniuses. As soon as she learned swordsmanship in earnest, she surpassed her instructor.
[Ah!]
She had also taken down the Hwarangs in a competition for martial arts. Some were bleeding from their arms as they groaned and fell.
At that time, a commotion broke out among the Hwarangs and the crowd split on both sides. Then someone appeared.
It was a noble dressed in red with a fan in his hand.
Hwa Un was startled.
He fell to the ground, not caring if his clothes would become dirty or not, and bowed to the person.
He is Leader Mok Yun.
Mok Yun was tall and dignified.
Half of his face was hidden, but what could be seen was handsome. He had sharp eyebrows, his face was pale, and his eyes were light-colored.
Just looking at him showed that he had a hidden side.
At that time, Jeok Ryun had a lot of internal conflicts, with her face flushed and sweat forming on her forehead.
When the beads on her hair loosened and swayed, she tore them down in annoyance and shouted,
[Mok Yun-rang! I want to compete with you!]
To which Mok Yun bowed and said,
[If you can make me move from this place, I will admit defeat.]
[Okay!]
A strange fight began.
Mok Yun blocked Jeok Ryuns attack with his fan. Despite standing still, he seemed like a mountain, so he didnt shake at all.
Jeok Ryun cried out in frustration,
[Do not just defend there and attack!]
[Did you forget the condition?]
There was nothing else that needed to be said. She regretted accepting such an odd condition to fight, and she was angry.
She couldnt stand not winning, and her anger soared as she lost her reason.
She would rather die than lose!
With those thoughts, her anger took over, and the sword attacking Mok Yun changed its direction and stabbed him in the throat.
[Ah!]
Everyone screamed.
At that moment,
Tang!
Came the sound. Jeok Ryuns sword flew away, and everyone looked at Mok Yuks hand.
The fan was ruined. He moved like lightning.
He had used all of his energy to make the steel blades of the fan crumple and cut down the sword. But because of that, he ended up leaving his spot.
[I admit defeat.]
Mok Yun lowered his head, but Jeok Ryun didnt feel victorious. It was an odd feeling.
[Mok Yun-rang! Lets have a face off!]
Since then, Jeok Ryun has visited him and called him day and night.
Eventually, they started to train together. After that, they started doing things other than training.
[It seems like the Kim Group has other thoughts]
Jeok Ryun would ask him for his opinions, and they also hunted together. When it was time to clean, Jeok Ryun would smile over her shoulder and say,
[Be careful.]
Mok Yun wrapped a bandage around her hand. And then the scene changed.
It was dark.
Seol Young flinched as he moved his gaze away.
It was obvious what it meant to see a man and woman lying together in bed with their hair down and wearing light clothes.
Hwa Uns face turned as red as his clothes.
Nice scene!
Zaha enjoyed it a lot. Seol Young frowned.
High Governor! Arent you being too much?
Why? Isnt peace and love a good thing? Instead of fighting and hating each other.
Haa
Seol Young didnt respond. This wasnt the right place to discuss it, and these were scenes that Jeok Ryun was showing them.
Normally, such intimate details would get overlooked, but she seemed to have a reason for showing them.
Look! It matters!
It was as if Jeok Ryun was shouting that.
And what followed was a familiar story.
If Jeok Ryun-rang takes the Hwarangs with her and fights, the Baek empire would fall!
According to the revelation, it wasnt good to use Jeok Ryun.
So Mok Yun decided to assist her and followed her.
Together, they commanded the army of Silla.
Jeok Ryun, who was riding a horse, suddenly put her hand on her stomach.
A child was conceived.
A smile flashed across her face, which was stained with blood and dust.
But then the scene changed. It was inside some desolate barracks.
Mok Yun was bound and dragged away. There were decapitated bodies scattered everywhere, and all of them wore the Silla uniform.
After completing the execution, Jeok Ryun shook off her sword. Her whole body was stained with blood.
[Explain!]
She shouted at Mok Yun.
[]
But Mok Yun didnt answer. He lowered his head, not even making eye contact with Jeok Ryun.
Only silence followed, and Hwa Un was shocked.
Leader! Why dont you say NO! You are not a spy!
He screamed, but it couldnt reach them.
What is this?
Seol Young frowned.
Isnt it like saying he really sold out the nation?
But it cannot be like that.
Zaha was in doubt.
At that moment, Jeok Ryuns sword pierced Mok Yuns chest.
Anger, hatred, betrayal and pain
All the emotions she felt came rushing in like waves. Before they knew it, they were back to reality.
[Ahhhh!]
A long cry resounded in the tower.
After looking at the past, they finally understood the meaning.
Summon Mok Yun.
Seol Young said blankly.
Jeok Ryun-rang had been asking for it all along. But I couldnt understand it then. Then, on that night seven years ago, she knew that I had the ability to summon ghosts, so she ordered me to.
And he continued.
Call Mok Yun right away. Even if you have to search all over the world to find him. If not
When he talked that far, Seol Young felt something cold prickle his throat.
?
Zaha and Hwa Un looked at each other, and both of them looked shocked.
What is it?
Instead of answering, Hwa Un hurriedly took out a small hand mirror and handed it to him.
When he looked at it, there was a red line drawn around his neck.
Aha
Seol Young nodded.
He had seen Jeok Ryuns technique, where she would drawn a red line first before cutting something off.
In other words, if they couldnt bring Mok Yun here, his head would be cut off.
Seol Young lowered the mirror.
Well, its not like I was threatened like this just once or twice
Just as he said that, heat suddenly spread through his body and his eyes turned black.
Seol Young-rang?
It seemed that Zaha was saying something, but he couldnt hear him anymore.
And Hwa Un was shocked. He wanted Seol Young to suffer but not like this.
