The sword cut through the wind and blood splattered. Gu Guan-su gasped and raised his sword. Blood was flowing from Yeo Il-ye’s eyes. Nevertheless, Yeo Il-ye was still kneeling.

Cheer up.

“Uuuux

Gu Guan-su put down his sword and…slumped down.

Looking at Yeo Il-ye, who calmly accepted her sword even though she was a supreme expert, I couldn’t swing the sword at all. Gu Guan-su still could not accept Yeo Il-ye’s words. Yeo Il-ye drove her father to death and had to pay for it with her life.

Otherwise.

If I let go of my resentment and hatred towards Yeo Il-ye, I couldn’t figure out how to fill this empty heart.

However, Gu Guan-su could not lift the sword.

Gu Hyun-soo, who ran with Yeo Il-ye, who accepted her choice without wavering even though she gave her eyes to a boy who would vomit blood and run away in just one day, could not be sure. I couldn’t even muster the courage to give myself over to hatred and anger.

That’s why Gu Guan-su fell face down and cried.

Is that crying the sadness of losing my father? Could it be the guilt of taking Yeo Il-ye’s eyes? Or maybe it’s a scream blaming one’s own weakness. Or are they tears of repentance, regretting the foolishness of being taken advantage of by Golden Sun? Only I knew.

Tootuk.

“It’s raining.”

Yeo Il-ye ignored the pain on her face and looked up at the sky. The raindrops that started falling one by one quickly turned into heavy rain and poured down hard.

Yeo Il-ye covered Gu Hyun-su, who was still wailing, with her blood-covered robe. Whether he knew it or not, Hyun Soo just bowed his head and cried.

Jeez.

“I don’t know if you remember, but you attacked me once. Was it a time when I was in a comrade-in-arms group with a retired senior?”

Yeongjihuyeol said so and picked up Yeoilye’s sword. Even though her beloved sword had fallen into someone else’s hands, Yeo Il-ye looked up at Yeong-ji Hu-yeol without saying a word.

“Injuries were just a common occurrence for ronin. But the crooked smile you wore as you attacked and beat us remained deep in my mind. I was really angry and resentful.”

“What did I do? What did my senior do to deserve this? How can a person who doesn’t even have enemies in Sacheon be so harsh about what kind of damage we have suffered? Is it okay for a warrior of the Jeomchang faction to trample on a ronin without any reason? I thought this way and held a grudge.”

Yeongjihuyeol continued speaking as he pulled out Yeoilye’s sword.

“So I’m here now. It was clear what the golden sun’s intention was for calling me, but the relationship between you and the golden sun was none of my business. I thought this was your last chance to resolve your grudge before you returned to the arms of the Jeomchang Sect.”

Yeo Il-ye silently listened to Yeong-ji Hu-yeol’s words. Rain was pouring down as if there was a hole in the sky, and there was considerable blood loss from the stab wound on the face, but both Yeo Il-ye and Yeong-ji Hu-yeol acted as if there was no injury to their eye.

“But looking at you today…I have this question. Am I really honorable enough to hold a grudge against you?”

“I became a Sichuan of my own will and committed evil deeds in exchange for money. I never crossed the line, but in the end, I threatened people who had not even learned martial arts, acted viciously, deceived people, and carried out secret attacks.”

Yeongjihuyeol let out a long sigh.

Does the fact that it does not exceed the “ limit make it not a vicious act? Can I honestly say that I am truly unfair in front of you? I don’t know anymore. haha. Now, the only thing I can proudly say is unfair is that you cut off my sword and ate it on the day you came to give Ho Cheon-an the silver medal.”

Yeongjihuyeol pulled out his sword and hung it down. Yeongjihuyeol raised his sword as he saw Yeoilye’s remaining eye following the blade’s knuckles.

“So now, I will replace my resentment with you by accepting your sword.”

Haha!!

Yeongjihuyeol’s sword and Yeoilye’s sword collided. When the two swords, which the peak master swung with all his might, collided, both swords broke at the same time.

Yeongjihuyeol looked at his broken sword with a relieved expression. Yeongjihuyeol threw away his sword without any hesitation, put the broken sword of Yeo Il-ye in its sheath, and handed it to Yeo Il-ye.

“I’m sorry for breaking the sword. I will give you a new gift with my wonderful boy.”

“…I’ll be waiting.”

They break the sword and then give it to you as a new gift. It was an irrational action, but Yeo Il-ye understood Yeongjihuyeol. Yeongjihuyeol organized his karma with Yeo Il-ye at this location. The reason why he broke his own sword was also a matter for only Yeongjihuyeol to know.

Yeongjihuyeol stepped aside and Yeoilye stood up.

Shoot!!

The rain hit her body hard. Blood continued to flow from her left eye, but Yeo Il-ye didn’t care and took a step toward Ga Ju-jeon.

A broken sword and a lost eye were the price of the apology chosen by Yeo Il-ye. It was also the karma of giving in to anger and carelessly harming others.

It may have been a foolish choice, but Yeo Il-ye just thought she wanted to do it. It wasn’t some shallow calculation that he would be forgiven if he shed blood and fought with a broken sword.

I just wanted to face the karma I had accumulated without denying it.

Yeo Il-ye entered Gajujeon, where not a single window was open.

Even though it was midday, Gajujeon was extremely dark.

Yeo Il-ye held a sword in her right hand and a sheath in her left hand. There are only three inches of sword left, but if you increase the length with sword steel, you will be able to use it.

Faba Park!

Hiss!

The warriors hiding in the darkness of Gajujeon launched a surprise attack one by one. Yeo Il-ye repelled the attack and checked her condition. The wound on the face was not shallow and the bleeding had not been stopped, so blood loss continued. The throbbing pain seemed to pass through my face directly to my brain, and because one eye was missing, I had trouble seeing things properly.

The internal strength was also not in perfect condition. It might have been different if they had cut each one down with a sword, but since they sent the warriors flying, a considerable amount was consumed.

But my mind was calmer than ever.

‘Right…’

Water Geukpilban Hwaryeon cold brew.

Yeo Il-ye looked at the steel structure inside her. A structure that looks sturdy at first glance, but the lower part is empty.

Yeo Il-ye melted her inner self with the flame and took on a new form. In that way, he thought that he had changed and that the spark had died out.

But no.

The flame disappeared, but Yeo Il-ye’s insides did not become cold. Only then did Yeo Il-ye look at her true inner self. Although it was newly formed, its insides were hot rather than cold. Heat was simply filling the space where the flame was gone.

‘That’s sloppy.’

Yeo Il-ye looked inside herself and smiled. Did they try to build a new building because the lodge inside was burning down? It was truly absurd.

The fire inside had died out, but it had merely changed form into heat. I thought I had finished everything, but in reality, I wasn’t even able to finish the fireworks properly.

If I hadn’t cooled down inside, why did I think it was complete? I just arbitrarily thought that since the shape had changed, the heat would have cooled and become cold.

‘So let’s get this straight.’

Yeo Il-ye’s image was reshaped. The shape was not a building.

It was a person.

mother. father. Shibi secretly gave him sweets. A servant who swept the yard every day. gardener. The warriors who guarded the mountain hut…

A priest of the Jeomchang sect. Sisters. Cheongheo Jinin and other elders of the clan. A cute ambassador-type Hyukgirin.

And even a certain ronin who wrote using bamboo sticks.

Instead of the empty, bizarre structure, a human shape filled Yeo Il-ye’s inner self.

Tootuk. Tuk.

So then.

Toad-duk-dap…shoo.

Rain began to fall inside Yeo Il-ye. Rain fell on the hot metal, cooling Yeo Il-ye’s thoughts.

The control over the inner energy that I had been trying to release roughly was now in my hands.

“I see.”

The power was so vast that I was satisfied with just handling it. But is that the right situation? No matter how much skill you had, it was normal to be able to respond freely.

The elite warriors of the Golden Family were hiding in the darkness of the Gaju Battle, openly engaging in delayed warfare. Since it was an opponent they couldn’t beat head-on and Yeo Il-ye’s facial injury was serious, they probably decided that taking time would be advantageous.

‘I can feel it.’

The wind of inner energy gently spread throughout Gajujeon. It would have been unthinkable for an ordinary unmanned soldier to deliberately dissipate his internal power, which would have been insufficient even if he used it sparingly, and use it for detection, but for Yeo Il-ye, it was possible.

“Ugh!”

“Gagging!”

The elite warriors hiding throughout Gajujeon began to be hunted one by one. From the beginning, they were the ones who dealt with Yeo Il-ye by relying on darkness and familiar terrain.

The warriors whose positions began to be revealed were not Yeo Il-ye’s opponents.

Pow!

“Wow!”

Yeo Il-ye looked down for a moment at the warriors she had defeated and then took a step forward. Now, in this family battle, there was only one sign of a sane person.

“Golden Line.”

“In the end, a country boy from a country cabin… ends up doing things this far.”

Yeo Il-ye walked in silence.

“It looks like the guys gathered in front of Gajujeon couldn’t stop you after all! Hehehe, you’re the same as me! Are you not the son of someone who died because of you? What is the difference between you and me, who trampled on such a person!”

“…One thing I am curious about.”

Yeo Il-ye asked quietly. The number of Sichuan people is less than thirty at most. But how was it possible to encounter Sacheon ronin at such a high frequency every time I visited Sacheon Province?

And how exactly was it possible to point out and gather together the ronin and his family who had a grudge against Yeo Il-ye? With the power of the Golden Sun, it would not be impossible to break through the anonymity of Sichuan people and collect information about their personal history…

“Every time I visited Sacheon Province, did I make a request to the monks?”

Yeo Il-ye somehow felt that Hwang Geum-seon knew that information because he was her client.

“Hahahahaha! So what do you plan on doing? Why do you want to blame me now? Hongjuk-gunhyup Daehyup! Wasn’t it you who rushed at me like an angry bull whenever you encountered a romantic?”

“Yes. There was no way you would leave me alone…”

“kekekeke…I should have made it clearer then. I wonder how on earth they roasted and boiled those stiff Jeomchang monks. What is the secret to remaining in the sect even after causing several disturbances that could have been enough to cause excommunication? Hahahaha!”

Golden Sun could no longer open his mouth. This was because Yeo Il-ye unleashed her inner energy and crushed the golden line.

“In the end, you messed up my life. Burning down the mountain cabin wasn’t enough, so they tried to take away Jeomchang, who was my second protector and home.”

“Extreme…ugh..!”

Even though there was a more sophisticated method called point-pointing to silence the mouth, Yeo Il-ye crushed the golden line with internal energy.

Yeo Il-ye looked into the eyes of the golden line, whose veins were rising from the pressure of internal energy. His expression seemed full of poison and evil, but there was a fear of death in his eyes that could not be hidden.

“You seem to know that you have done something that will kill you by being torn into a thousand pieces.”

Yeo Il-ye strengthened her right hand. Although the sword was broken by Yeongjihuyeol, there were still three inches of the sword body left. This is enough to kill a person.

“Knock!… Billion!”

Yeo Il-ye, who was staring at the golden line desperately trying to survive despite the pressure of internal energy, waved her hand.

It was the left hand holding the sword sheath.

Wow!!

“Wow, I hit you a little hard.”

Yeo Il-ye muttered as she looked at the golden line that fell off the chair and rolled around on the floor, teeth scattered. Well, I guess this is okay. Thinking like that, Yeo Il-ye let out a long sigh.

Just seeing him rolling around on the floor made me feel sick. If I could cut down the golden line right here, the pain in my heart would be relieved.

“But if I kill you here, there will be no way to relieve the pain in their hearts.”

The golden line committed many sins. Yeo Il-ye was not the only one who missed the golden line due to unhappiness. The Golden Sun has brought countless people into misfortune.

Hwang Geum-seon was not Yeo Il-yeman’s enemy. As many people were harmed by the golden line as the number of sins he committed. And some of them, like young Yeo Il-ye, might be burning their hatred and anger towards the wrong people who are not Golden Sun.

There, all the evil deeds of the Golden Sun had to be made known. A person who has lost money. Those who have lost their family. Those who have lost their dreams… Those who have lost precious things. Those who were hurt by the evil deed had to know that the person who caused the hurt was Golden Sun.

What they cherished may not come back. At the very least, it might be a ray of comfort that would soothe the sense of loss they felt.

“To spit out everything, including your bottom, in the basement of the government office.”

Yeo Il-ye muttered while holding the back of the neck of the unconscious Golden Seon.

Grumble! Shoot!

One summer day when the rain was pouring down so much that it felt like there was a hole in the sky.

The revenge drama that took place in Golden Street has come to an end.
