Chapter 142 Flashes to the East, Flashes to the West

Turning his gaze away from the dark sky, Ning Po gathered the bodies of the Black Foresters and threw them haphazardly into the ramshackle house.
He then resurrected the dying embers of the lantern, which had fallen to one side of the floor, and placed it on an old futon.
Next.
Lol, lol, lol, lol……
The red flames rose ferociously, scorching the futon and the floor, then spread to the walls and ceiling, exhaling hot breath.
Standing in the acrid smoke, Ning Po soon left the Chapter-covered house behind and gathered the bodies of his mother and daughter.
A little time passes.
The forest was now plunged into pitch blackness, and the moon, with its clusters of stars, shone even brighter.
A small hill, bathed in sunlight at daybreak.
A thirty-four-year-old widow and a fifteen-year-old girl, who still had many more years to live, were buried here side by side.
Feng Po looked at the nameless tomb he had made with his own hands and clasped his hands together as if in prayer.
“I hope you rest in peace, and don’t blame me for telling you my story, but…… go to heaven with your daughter and live the life you deserve.”
A sea of what you guessed as soon as you saw it.
That Zhang Min eventually revealed the secret.
Got it.
Because he was protecting his daughter, who was his life.
Everyone does.
To a parent, a child is like a heart outside.
That’s why it’s more valuable than anything else in the world.
The one thing you’ll give your neck to protect, even if it’s your own, is your child…….
So I apologized for that.
It was self-pity.
While I was helping, I felt heavy with regret that I didn’t follow up more thoroughly.
Suddenly, his head bowed, water pooling in his eyes.
‘I…… ugly asshole.’
When confronted with the death of the poor mother and daughter, he naturally thought of his dead wife and child.
That was more than thirty years ago.
But as long as I’m alive, it’s a nightmare I’ll never forget.
Most of all, he realized that he was the reason his wife and child were dead.
My heart ached then, just as it does now.
that I didn’t follow through.
“Whoa…….”
He let out a long sigh, wiped the tears from his eyes on his sleeve, and started walking down the hill.
“Punishment without mercy, only that can soothe the soul of that mother and daughter.
His eyes flashed sharply.
As the dark flesh I’d briefly suppressed exploded through the light, I felt the quiet forest sink into a deeper silence.
A lonely death that no one knows about.
The only thing that consoled the departed souls of Zhang Min and Hong Cheng was the sight of Rong Po disappearing into the darkness, and the moonlight shining on its path.

The grounds of the Temple of Ammyeong.
A twenty-something man in a black longcoat leans against the top railing of a handsome three-story pavilion, staring out into the night.
He was a promising young master of the Sapa martial arts school in the Hunan region, and he was known as the top master of the Ammyung School.
The large, three-story pavilion was originally used as an office and residence for the Chief Inspector of the Register of Deeds during his lifetime.
One that has now changed hands.
After a long discussion, Moon Bin was elected as the youngest new Jeonju in the history of Amyeongjeon…….
The fallout from his death was pretty well handled.
Not long ago, upon his arrival here, Moon Bin gathered his leaders and went to Ye’s hut to tell them the details of what had happened.
-If you want to increase your notoriety, you can say you killed him because he went crazy and went on a rampage.
At that time, Chul Ryu-Heon said that he didn’t care what he did or how he did it, but Moon Bin didn’t lie to him.
It was a courageous decision.
At first, I thought it would be a good idea to lie a little bit.
If I told him that he had been my mentor, but was actually the enemy who had killed my family, it would be very misunderstood that I was secretly working with the White House on the outcome of this case.
But.
He changed his mind after being advised by a trusted confidant that it was better to be honest than to lie about it.
The choice was successful.
Of course, some debate was inevitable, but Moon Bin’s sincere demeanor was enough to convince everyone to support his nomination.
‘Thank goodness. I was worried about how we’d handle it if someone actually pushed back…….’
Moon Bin muttered to himself and continued to stare at the myriad stars that dotted the black sky.
Then.
Shhh.
Move your eyes toward the bright, round moon.
‘If we were stars…… he’d be like that big, bright moon.’
This is the iron currents.
I can’t help but admire Moo Wee…… There are few twenty-something powerhouses in the region that can wield such power.
No, maybe not at all.
At least by his standards, that’s what he thought.
I had yet to meet or share the hands of a genius of Chul Ryuhyeon’s caliber.
Suddenly, a man’s face pops into my head.
Blue Sword Snow Bridge.
A master of the Qingtian Sword Gate and one of the greatest martial artists in the entire Hunan region.
He was a top up-and-comer until Chul Ryuhyeon came along.
‘He may have defeated me, but he is no match for a kendo genius or …… iron gate, both of which are far beyond the scope of ordinary talent.
Moon Bin himself was a late entrant to the martial arts compared to other late martial artists.
But since he became one of his protégés more than a decade ago, he has made tremendous progress and quickly built a reputation for himself.
As of recently, I’ve even heard rave reviews that say, ‘Even if he steps down as the head of the company in the future, the future of Ammyungjeon is still bright because of Moon Bin.
One.
While practicing a series of martial arts, it was a private opponent of his from five years ago who inspired him to work harder.
That’s because it’s been a big deal since we crossed the threshold.
‘I’d like to test my swordsmanship against his once more, to see how much I’ve improved, and to see if I can defeat him, who’s already being touted as the next great swordsman…… and if we can draw even, that would be the best result I could hope for.
At that moment, I heard footsteps running up the stairs, and soon a figure stood on the floor behind me.
“Mr. Jeon.”
A forty-something swordsman who politely greets you with a saber.
A stout, one-eyed man, he was a Nine Heavenly Swordsman, renowned for being the strongest swordsman among the leaders of the Nine Heavenly Swordsmen.
Moon Bin quickly turned his head and asked.
“Oh, what happened?”
Then Ore lowered his clasped hands in front of his chest and took a few steps forward.
“We just got word that the collaborative document that we wrote a while ago has been overturned, and we’ve all decided to go with the will of the people.”
“Ah…… you mean Hui Gum Gak, Sim Hoe Mun, Gowol Gum Mun, Red Mark Party, and Jin Mu Party?”
In response to Moon Bin’s question, Gwangryo replied with a faint smile.
“Yes, yes, the leaders of the factions that colluded with the Angelic Chamber in the first place are to blame for this situation, and the White Checkpoint Guards have said that they respect Bone’s wishes, that they were only fighting back legitimately, so I don’t think there will be another conflict.”
“Well, you all know how to recognize a sari.”
“After Vaughn was the first to admit fault and take the position that the White House was not responsible for anything, they reluctantly agreed.”
At that moment, Moon Bin said with a polite expression.
“Thank you.”
“ Oh , no ! Your Majesty ! What? that “ I said … … .”
Gwangryo threw up his hands in dismay, and Moon Bin bowed his head to thank him again and again.
“If I hadn’t discovered the ugly secrets of the man I thought was my master and taught them to me in secret, this body would still be living with that wicked man as if he were some kind of sky.”
I did.
It was the man in front of him who uncovered his atrocities in the wake of his family’s tragedy.
“It was the human thing to do, not to know.”
Moon Bin looked up at that and smirked.
“It is indeed a blessing to be in the presence of such a true man as you, not an exaggeration. As a prelude, I have much to learn from you…… and I wish you well.”
“Oh, no, that’s what I’d rather say. As a member of the cadre, I’ll do my best not to be the one before you as you begin your new life.”
Mineral replied, and soon pointed over the railing to a building in the distance.
“Oh, by the way, go ahead and try that.”
It was located in the southeastern part of Amyeongjeon.
“What’s going on, is this a guest visit?”
“Yes, that’s right, someone related to the job you asked me to do a while back.”
Moon Bin’s request was none other than Chul Ryuhyeon’s.
-When the internal crackdown is over, you can return the favor and recruit one of the Saffa intelligence organizations.
The man who stepped into the hall was the head of an intelligence gathering organization.
Moon Bin asked again.
“Which one?”
“It’s the Chapter of Heaven.”
The Heavenly Chapter was a very famous intelligence gathering organization, with more than half of its members being women.
“Ah…… I can’t believe Chen Hua Lu would respond so quickly…… Okay, let’s go.”
“Yes, sir.”
After fixing his clothes, Wenbin left the hall with Guangyou and headed straight for the guest hall.

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
A mahogany horse galloped furiously along a quiet road along the shores of Hong Lake, and its identity was Iron Stream and Xinfeng.
It was blazing fast.
As of this afternoon, he was still on the southernmost highway in the Hunan region, but he had already arrived at this lakeshore on the border of the Hubei region…….
Xin Feng’s progress. In addition to the Thousand Year Ginseng, he also took Gongqing Petroleum, which caused his strength to skyrocket.
I didn’t take a single break on my way here.
But the lightning-fast Xinfeng seemed energized, not exhausted.
Next.
“Whoa.”
Chu Liuhun pulled on the reins to stop Xinfeng, then dug into a pouch on the side of his saddle and pulled out the ginseng.
Misread, misread, misread-.
As Xin Feng chewed deliciously on the ginseng, Chu Liuhui’s gaze shifted to the waterfront city up ahead.
‘Hmm, I’m hungry too. Anyway, I’ll find out when I get there.’
They’ve traveled across the vast land of Hunan for only one purpose: to reach Hong Lake, just beyond the northern border of the province.
Recruiting eaters and hostesses.
The target, of course, was the mysterious mystery man Ye Yunlang had heard about.
-His dumplings were to die for. I’ve never had dumplings that tasted so good in real life.
Recalling Ye Yunlang’s words, Chu Liuhui grabbed the reins again and gave a short order.
“When you’re done, let’s go.”
With that, Xin Feng sped off with his master on his back and entered a busy street in the waterfront city.
The streets were lined with shops and crowds were bustling with activity.
Again, again, again…….
As Xin Feng slowed his pace, Chuliu Heng asked a man who looked like a native for directions.
“I hear there’s a new dumpling place where the Loner’s Cup used to be, do you know where it is?”
Then the man pointed his finger at the dark forest in the distance.
“Oh, go there, but by this time they’re probably out of business and closed…….”
Before you’re done.
Boom!
The ground-stomping Xin Feng sliced the crowd in half and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
