Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 895

895====================

True empty hometown

Don’t you want to go?

I looked at Zhuge Liang with a puzzled look.

“Why on earth?”

At my words, Jegal-sa slowly put his index finger to his lips. After a while of this gesture symbolizing silence and secrecy, Jegal-sa continued speaking.

“It’s the same reason you should be careful with your words.”

” ……”

I didn’t understand it well, but I could tell that Zhuge Liang’s words had great significance. I still didn’t know exactly why I was being careful about my ‘previous life’ in this life, but the strategists considered it a prerequisite. When they set an absolute taboo, I was left speechless.

And Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and then said.

“Going to the Taihe Palace is actually not such a wrong strategy. From your perspective, even if it means breaking a taboo, you want to successfully complete the conquest of the heavens and overthrow the Queen Mother of the West. You are focused on immediate success. However, that is your perspective, and from your perspective as a strategist, Baekwoong, you would rather be annihilated by the Queen Mother of the West in this life than break the taboo of going to the Taihe Palace.”

“Taboo? Why…”

“Baek Woong. Okay, I’ll make a suggestion here.”

Zhuge Liang’s eyes lit up.

“Let Xiang Yu alone. Let us negotiate with the Queen Mother of the West to get this position.”

” ……”

“That’s the most realistic thing right now. We have the materials to negotiate.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Although the Queen Mother of the West is aggressive, she knows that if the Nine Heavenly Women become sincere, she will also be in danger. In that case, we must first make the Nine Heavenly Women become sincere. Then, the Queen Mother of the West will also be afraid to die together.”

Are you really making the Nine Heavenly Women?

‘What kind of strategy does Jegalsa plan to use?’

When I was confused because I couldn’t understand the meaning of those words at first glance, Zhuge Liulong said,

“You really only care about your master. That is a choice that will make everyone but Baek Woong unhappy.”

It was probably a sarcastic remark from Zhuge Liulong, who had read his own numbers, but Zhuge Liang responded calmly and confidently.

“Shouldn’t the only person a scribe should be responsible for is his lord? Don’t say strange things, brother.”

” … after.”

Zhuge Liulong sighed and said to me.

“Baek Woong. If you insist that you are fighting for a greater cause, then listen to me. Do you know what Jegal Sa is thinking?”

“I don’t know…”

“The difference between the Nine Heavenly Women and the Queen Mother of the West is whether they try to protect the earth or ignore it. The Nine Heavenly Women are weak because they have something to protect. Therefore, if we were to destroy what the Nine Heavenly Women are trying to protect, there would be no reason for the Nine Heavenly Women to suppress their power any longer, right? Then, from then on, we would be able to fight on equal footing, and the Queen Mother of the West would have no choice but to negotiate with us.”

It was only then that I realized and my face hardened.

“You’re going to destroy the Earth?!”

“The method would probably be simple. Since we have the Primordial Heavenly Plate, if we manipulate it, we can nullify all the barriers that currently make up the heavenly realm and collapse Kunlun Mountain. And the aftermath of the collapse of the heavenly realm will shake the world, causing all sorts of natural disasters to strike the world.”

“……!!”

“Baek Woong, do you want to do that?”

I looked at Zhuge Shi to see if Zhuge Liulong’s prediction of Zhuge Shi’s plan was true. Then Zhuge Shi shrugged and said.

“That’s right. As expected from my brother. You read my plan.”

“Zhuge Liang! Is it possible to get there using the original Heavenly Plate?”

“It’s possible. With the help of my brother, who is a master of the Bagua, I could do more than that, but he won’t help me, right? Even so, with Hyun-i’s and my Bagua skills, we could upset the balance of the world and cause the fall of the heavens. The Primordial Heavenly Plate was not created by humans, but by the Third Emperor Fuxi, so it has powers beyond the Seven Yo.”

“But that won’t work. I can’t choose the option that will lead to the destruction of the world!”

When I spoke firmly, Zhuge Liang responded.

“Then what are you going to do? As your lord, tell me what I can do to turn this situation around. Then, as your strategist, I will supplement your opinion and come up with a plan for improvement.”

” ……”

“It’s a dilemma. After all, humans are no different from livestock raised by gods, so it wouldn’t be bad if they were cleaned up a bit, right? If we just advance science and technology a little, they’ll grow like mold on their own.”

Zhuge Shi’s words, filled with a sense of futility, were steeped in deep disillusionment and madness toward humanity. And I could tell from those words that Zhuge Shi had expressed his opinion even though he knew that his strategy would not be accepted. That was also synonymous with the fact that my current situation had become so bad that I could no longer advocate for justice.

‘What should I do?’

If the heavens were to be destroyed by the primordial celestial plate according to Zhuge Liang’s plan and Kunlun Mountain would fall to the ground, causing a great disaster, the Nine Heavenly Women would have no choice but to exert their power to subdue the Queen Mother of the West. Although the situation was advantageous to us, it was naturally an extremely evil plan.

However, there was no alternative to opposing Zhuge Liang’s words by simply putting the cause first. While I was pondering, Zhuge Liulong said:

“Let’s go to Taihe Palace and help Xiang Yu.”

” … I told you it was taboo.”

“It is taboo, but it will be a question of whether or not you are ‘aware’ of it.”

“What are you talking about?”

“If you just heed the warning that Zhuge Liang gave, the taboo will never return to its worst state. The unintended flow is actually enjoyed by the opponent… As long as it’s just a coincidence, there’s no problem.”

“……?”

“Baek Woong, it’s actually a good thing that you’re not that smart.”

what?

Why are you suddenly making a fuss about my intelligence?

I don’t know what Zhuge Liulong is talking about. He is talking so twistedly that I can’t understand. However, Zhuge Liang, who was listening, said as if he had no choice.

“There is no answer if the lord tries to pretend to be good until the end… In this situation, it is better to just destroy the human world.

“That’s efficient! Baek Woong, there’s no point in wasting any more time, so do as you say.”

“Go to Taeheo Palace?”

“Yes. Even if it’s dangerous, it’s better to see the end of Hang-woo. That’s a lot of information. But just don’t break the ‘taboo’. If you can do that, you’ll be fine.”

” okay!”

“I beg you, don’t try to force yourself to know something you don’t know.”

“Okay, I got it.”

Pabat

I decided to do as the strategists told me, even though I didn’t know what was going on. Then I headed to Taeheo Palace with Zhuge Liulong and entered the palace. Zhuge Liulong said there was no need to send other comrades, so I decided to just go with Zhuge Liulong and Zhuge Bu.

As I entered the Taihe Palace, I felt strange. And after a while, I could understand why I felt that way.

‘There is no barrier.’

Every palace in the heavens has an owner, and usually that owner is a Great Immortal. The Great Immortals would put up some kind of barrier or magic to protect their palaces, and the presence of that magic would be detected by my Eumsinji and Hwaan Geumjeong. In fact, I felt such a barrier in Samcheong Palace.

However, Taeheo Palace was strangely devoid of any signs of magic or barriers. It felt like I had entered something empty. The interior felt somewhat like a Taoist palace, but it felt desolate and eerie.

Yeah… this place is empty.

Zhuge Fu, who had been quiet, opened his mouth.

“Father, there are two beings facing each other in front of you.”

“I see…”

“One of them seems to be Xiang Yu, and the other is a young man.”

“…… Hmm. It’s started.”

Zhuge Liulong, who was in a daze after hearing Zhuge Fu’s report, said:

” let’s go.”

We arrived at the place where Xiang Yu was after a while. In the innermost part of the palace, there was a shabby altar, and the altar was in the style of ancient Taoism. On top of the marble altar, which looked like a round plate, stood a man.

The man looked down at Xiang Yu and said with a smile.

“You must have guessed a lot since you came here, right?”

” ……”

“It’s been a long time. I thought it would be about five hundred years before I would see you in this form, but we finally meet earlier than expected.”

It was a very relaxed and easygoing voice. It was the first time I had heard that voice, but somehow I felt like I had heard that tone of voice somewhere. Then, surprisingly, Xiang Yu did not rush in, but spoke slowly to the other person.

“Liu Bang. The king also wanted to see you.”

……?!

Breasts?!

Is the man known as the Red Dragon King, who founded the Han Dynasty, the one who is now standing before Xiang Yu?! The Han Emperor, known as Xiang Yu’s only rival and the last victor in history, is unexpectedly in the Taihe Palace!

The breasts said.

“Xiang Yu, this time, unlike before, you are not using your fists first. Without Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin by my side, wouldn’t you be able to kill me with one punch?”

It was almost like a provocation, but Xiang Yu didn’t move at all. On the contrary, he was looking at Liu Bang with very cold and calm eyes, and he was even controlling his life. It was rare to see Xiang Yu like that, so when I looked at him with curious eyes, Xiang Yu opened his mouth.

“All those guys were nothing more than your puppets. The king realized this fact only in Haeha, and realized that you were more fearsome than the incarnations of all those constellations. And when he was about to kill you, you, Yoobang, brought up Woohee.”

” ha ha ha.”

The breasts laughed heartily and said.

“Honestly, at that time, I thought that I could do nothing even if I died, but Xiang Yu, you had more human heart and emotions than I thought. You would be heartless even if you killed a million complete strangers, but you had a warm heart towards my woman… You were very beautiful.”

” ……”

“Yes, I kept my promise to you. Instead of you committing suicide, I spared the remaining soldiers of the country and did not discriminate against them in employment. What’s the problem now that you’ve come all the way to the Heavenly Palace?”

“The real problem is that you are in the Taihe Palace.”

Xiang Yu’s eyes sparkled.

” … Where did you start fooling the king? You call yourself the Red Dragon King when you’re not even a Red Dragon, what are you?”

“Well, I see. It was something you just hastily put together when you first came down to earth, but the way you beat up the Southern Dragon King and grabbed him by the collar because of that was very impressive. Hahaha.”

“I asked who you were. Your true identity as the master of this palace and the one who called himself Liu Bang.”

“This is your true identity…”

The breasts smiled brightly.

“I’m not sure about that… I’ve had so many masks that I’ve even forgotten which ones are real.”

” what…?”

The breasts suddenly took on a blank expression. They had always looked like they were playing around, but somehow they looked like they were desperate.

“Also, this appearance is just one of my masks, and this mask just has various names attached to it. No matter what personality the mask has, you can’t guess the personality of my real face, right? If that were possible, then the mask wouldn’t be a mask… you know.”

” ……”

“It’s pointless to ask about my identity. As you have guessed, I am the master of the Taihe Palace and the breast, but at the same time, I am nothing else. However, there are a few things I can tell you right now.”

The breasts wiggled their thumbs behind their backs as they spoke.

“Do you want to see Woohee? Or do you really want to know my true identity? I’ll give you one of them.”

“Don’t be so cocky.”

“Hahaha! No matter what you choose, I’ll be satisfied because I can enjoy it in my own way. Even if you don’t accept either of them and beat me to death, I’ll accept it.”

” ……”

Of course, Xiang Yu is not stupid. In this situation, it would be foolish to kill Liu Bang.

Even a child could understand the situation. Xiang Yu, who was forced to choose between two options, remained silent and did not move. No matter how much he was Xiang Yu, it was not easy to make such a choice.

‘Now is the time!’

I felt that now was the time for me to intervene, so I strode forward and said to Yubang.

“Han Gojo Yoobang! I am Baekung!”

His gaze turned towards me. I shouted at him.

“I don’t care who you are, Queen Mother of the West, just stop! I will pay the price!!”

” ……”

At my words, Yoobang lost his composure for the first time and looked dumbfounded. Suddenly, he looked at me with a curious expression.

“I’ve been watching you since a while ago, but was it Baek Woong? You’re quite a strange person. Your martial arts and magical abilities are both extraordinary, but your brain doesn’t seem to match your abilities. You don’t seem to do much, but you’ve gained the trust of great beings. That’s also quite surprising.”

I grinned. There was no need to respond directly to such sarcasm.

“Haha. You don’t have to compliment me.”

“… Uh, well, let’s say that’s the case.”

The breasts, who seemed to be shocked by something, spoke in a roundabout way.

“Anyway, do you have any special abilities?”

“What kind of ability?”

“For example…”

A colorless chaos seemed to be flowing from the eyes of the breasts.

“The ability to start over again even after death…?”
