Chapter 101 – My Moon is Falling (02)
The leader of the shrine, Black Lion Sword, was reminded of the past while looking at the single-party system that was ahead of him.
The original name of Heo Wol, the first leader of the Black Moon Party, was Gyu Sanhyeok.
In the past, as a wandering warrior, he created and used his own pseudo-style swordsmanship, and settled down as a son-in-law in the family of Chae Myeong-wol, the daughter of a small sect in the south of Hubei Province.
It is not clear because there are no records of him sparring with renowned masters, but his skill is close to peak based on his life-or-death battle with a master of the Sa-pa, who was considered a top-class master who was targeting his father-in-law’s sect, and won without a scratch. Is evaluated for having
However, his wife, Chae Myeong-wol, was so weak that he laid down her sword and retired to take care of her, so her brief journey in the martial arts world came to an end before her fame could be established.
Of course, the life was not bad for Gyu Sanhyeok.
Rather, the short but happy time at that time would have been more valuable to him than his life as a warrior who proved his strength.
Especially when a daughter was born with his wife, Chae Myeong-wol, and he named her Gyu Wol-hyang after part of her mother’s name.
He was a young groom who was always smiling and happy that he had gained two moons.
However, it would not have been happy for him to have to spend more time outside to earn money for medicine for his weakened wife after giving birth in a situation where the family finances were already on the decline.
When Gyu Wol-hyang was 5 years old, his wife, Chae Myeong-wol, was seriously ill and went to a doctor to treat her. However, at that time, a serious infectious disease was spreading in Hubei, so Wang Dae-in, the richest person in Hubei, visited the doctors. He made it exclusive and focused on treating only himself and his family.
At the time, Yakgok was also suffering from the influx of infectious disease patients, and Gyu San-hyeok, who had little knowledge of martial arts, was not even aware of the existence of Yakgok.
Looking at the members of the National Assembly who were protected while living in the King Daein’s house, he begged with his head whenever he got the chance, and even gave him the small amount of money he had, asking for him to see his wife at least once, but the members did not show him any mercy. Didn’t
If they went outside and caught an infectious disease, the families of the lawmakers living inside would also be kicked out, so they refused.
In the end, Gyu San-hyeok, who could no longer bear it, overpowers Nokrim-chae with his opponent’s fist, obtains a cheap sword, and attacks the lawmakers who were escorted out of Wang Dae-in’s house.
As he approached, quickly cutting through the guards made up of second-rate experts, the lawmakers begged for their lives to be spared. Those who had ignored him when he begged for his wife’s life now said that they would do anything if it would save his wife’s life, and he became the most skilled doctor among them. Snatch this nice-looking guy and run home.
But no one knows the story of life.
Despite taking the congressman, his wife was left in the poor house, her wife lying dead, clutching her young daughter.
The world is falling apart.
She could not even enter the room where her wife was laid to rest, nor could she see her own daughter crying in the arms of her dead mother.
On that day, Gyu Sanhyeok lost two moons.
After slaughtering a member of the National Assembly who begged for his life, he ran straight to King Daein’s house and used his force to slaughter the guards and members of the National Assembly.
A military officer, who was already on alert due to the kidnapping of a congressman and injuries to his guards, discovers the scene of the deadly incident and stops him.
After a fierce battle, Gyu San-hyeok killed many warriors, but in the end, he was unable to outnumber them and was chased. No matter how strong he was, he could not deal with a large number of people, so he ran away without being able to return home.
After that, nothing was known about Gyu Sanhyeok.
It is only known that a few years later, a man with a black sword appeared.
And the only thing that is true is that the owner of the black sword saved a boy who was crying out for help to save his younger brother who had been captured by the forces of a blood cult and forcibly injected with a strange monster, and gave him a sword.
‘Heukdo is still clean. Even after meeting Gyuwolhyang, if nothing is reflected in his dark sword… He will prove that he is the master of Blackwoldang whom we can follow until the end.’
A weak point was already visible in the eyes of the sadang-ju and the single-dang lords.
* * *
I felt like my heart was going to explode.
He was warning me with his mind racing like crazy.
Something dangerous is coming…
‘I should have followed’
If Wolhyang had said that he must return, I should have taken him there and protected him.
I couldn’t do it properly, so I had no choice but to desperately run to the place where I could feel the pressure of this fierce sword.
‘Please don’t be late… Please…!’
I hope they waste their time in Yakgok. Or maybe something else will stop time, even just for a moment.
With thoughts constantly running through my head, I ran to the place where the trembling in my cheeks became stronger.
Slowly, the marks of the wagon’s bumps began to become visible and became darker, until in the end, my body was covered by an overwhelming feeling that felt as if my entire body’s skin was being cut with a knife.

“Heo-eok… Heo-eok… Heo-eok…”
It is not too late.
The horses of the carriage were overwhelmed by their spirit and fainted, and the warriors of the Murim Alliance were just lying down with blood spraying out.
We haven’t been attacked yet.
“Gyuwolhyang…!”
The moment I urgently call her.
The lid of the carriage was cut off.
Tooong!
Chaaa!
The frozen head of the horse and the driver’s body are cut off and fall off, and the lid of the carriage collapses and falls to the floor.
The lid of the carriage is cut off neatly, as if someone had cut it cleanly from the beginning.
It came.
A man holding a pitch-black sword.
Heo Wol-i, the leader of the Black Moon Party.
“Whoop… Whoop… Whoosh…”
The interval is far.
That man’s black sword was very close to the carriage, and I was still quite far away.
‘Must’
Let’s not doubt. There is only one thing to do, stop that black sword and save Wolhyang.
Thinking like that, I burn my heart and sword.
‘It’s in front of my eyes. ‘Never lose’
I strain my jaw so that my teeth break, pull out my precious sword, and prepare for a blow that can shatter that sharp black sword in one fell swoop.
The head of the first family, who noticed this, also prepared his black sword and glared at me. He also noticed the existence of his heart sword, so he seemed to have realized that he could not move carelessly.
But I was just preparing, and if that black sword was swung before I swung the sword, it would already be too late, so I couldn’t move carelessly.
As if I had been defeated by a general in chess, I was frozen in a state where I could not move and could only watch what they were doing.
Jeobbuk. Jerk. Jerk.
While I and the head of the first party were confronting each other, the head of the Black Moon Party, Black Lion Sword, was moving towards the carriage.
Other people were cut down by the blow and fell, but only one.
With only one person, Gyu Wol-hyang, who was protected inside the carriage intact, he raised his dirty hand and grabbed Wol-hyang’s chin.
“It’s not fake.”
‘Kill… Kill…!’
As the killing intent soared, the heart sword began to burn like crazy, and although the black sword did not move, He Yue’s eyes tilted and began to aim at me.
Even though you are applying enough force to break your teeth, you have to endure it. Until I can feed her the best blow to save her.
“Chief of the family. There is no need to spend time with a guy like that.”
“……”
“Here, you just have to prove it properly. Then, even if you have to purge the three leaders, everyone will recognize it and follow you.”
“What should I do?”
“Kill Saengbong Gyuwolhyang.”
“This bastard…!”
My sword was still far away and the black sword was so close.
Although physically it was just barely out of reach of the black island, the other side had already closed the gap and I had to set the distance again.
“Saengbong.”
“Yes. This is Saengbongyu Wolhyang. She only needs to kill her.”
“Who is that?”
“Are you pretending not to know?”
In response to Sadangju’s question, Heo Wol fixed his gaze on me with sunken eyes and spoke in an emotionless voice.
“I don’t know who it is.”
“I am one of the Five Dragons and Seven Peaks and your daughter.”
The information from the Murim Alliance was correct.
Seeing them right next to each other, Wolhyang and Heo Wol looked so similar that anyone who saw them could mistake them for being siblings.
In fact, the reason why Sadangju Black Lion Sword also checked Wolhyang’s face was because he saw again that it was very similar to Heo Wol.
“Daughter? What do you mean?”
His black sword was unwavering.
It’s not about lying or deceiving yourself. He really doesn’t have it.
A person’s mouth can lie, but the heart cannot.
“hehehe… hehehe… Look here.”
Heo Wol’s black eyes turn sideways and reflect on Wolhyang.
No, he was heading towards Bigot, but his eyes didn’t waver even an inch, as if he couldn’t see the spot.
Heowol’s eyes could only alternately check the empty space and the sadangju’s appearance.
And Sadangju held Wolhyang’s face in his hand and turned it around, as if to take a closer look, but Heo Wol’s eyes showed nothing, let alone her face.
“……”
Heo Wol was not reflected in the eyes of Wolhyang, who had poor eyesight, so the two were showing the contradiction of not seeing each other properly even though they were looking at each other.
“I don’t know. I can’t see it.”
“K…Kkkk… Is that so as expected?”
Only then does Sadangju let go of Wolhyang’s chin.
“You really forgot, Chief.”
“What does it mean?”
“You are qualified to lead us.”
Sadangju stood next to Heo Yue as if he was moved.
“Rather, if you tried to kill her, she might have been disappointed. It makes sense that you tried to kill her by holding back her tears in order to deceive us.”
“What does it mean?”
“You’re not just lying, you really forgot.”
“I see.”
Jeildangju Heowol calmly accepted the loyalty of the sadangju.
“Then let’s go back. The head of the family might be lonely.”
“I understand.”
They were about to go back without even paying attention to me.
“Why are you so nervous? Yeoncheongha.”
The head of the sadang asks me.
“Did you run so desperately because you thought we were going to kill Gyuwolhyang?”
I couldn’t think of anything else.
“Why should we do that?”
“What… Say…?”
“This girl is nothing to our leader, so is there any need to burn off her fighting spirit and train her heart and sword?”
When I heard those words, I felt my face burning with shame, and at the same time, I felt relief that Wolhyang had survived.
“So, you can go back, the head of the first family. You can protect the head of the family anyway and kill that guy later.”
“……”
Heo Wol tried to turn his body at those words.
‘First of all… Are you going to step down?’
The current situation was good at best.
Wow…
Above his head, what I saw at that time…
Until the heart sword made of thorns that was seen behind the leader of the Black Moon Party appeared.
The thorn tree shook as if it was whispering something, and at that moment, the gaze of the head of the first family, Heo Wol, accurately recognized the appearance of Wolhyang.
“The head of the family speaks.”
A black sword was pulled out from his waist.
“He tells me to kill the girl.”
At that moment, I activated Myungwol at its maximum and rushed forward.
