Absolute Regression

Episode 175 There is good news and bad news.

I slowly took off my clothes, staring at my reflection in longing.

I took off everything except my underwear. A smooth body with no flab, built through martial arts training.

I unwrapped all of the Geuppumcheonjamsa wrapped around the handle of the black magic sword and carefully wrapped it around major vital points, including my heart and neck. And on top of that, he wore the robe given to him by Hyeolcheon Doma.

Seo Dae-ryong sat on the bed and watched me in silence as I prepared for the decisive battle.

At times like this, I felt bad about missing the joke, so I told a joke to Seo Dae-ryong.

“Will you go and fight together?”

“I won’t. The biggest adventure of my life is already over. Soryong won the battle! For the rest of my life, I will brag about it and drink it like a beef bone. There is no more danger in my life.”

I told him as I put on my light and comfortable military uniform.

“Once you reach a higher level, your mind will change! You will throw yourself into the danger of life and death. “I will find joy there and move on to seek greater danger.”

“Don’t make such strange prophecies!”

Seo Dae-ryong stuck his head out the window and looked up at the sky.

“Pretend you didn’t hear! No, no. My adventure is over. “I already have enough stories to tell my grandchildren when they sit on my lap.”

Since they react so eagerly, I can’t help but joke around.

“Please be careful.”

“Mysterious organizations are dangerous only when they are mysterious, but when they are revealed like this, they become even more insignificant. do not worry.”

“No matter how much you say that, I won’t follow you.”

“It doesn’t work.”

I know. How worried Seo Dae-ryong is about me right now. How much you want to fight with me. The heat burning in his eyes says this. Please wait. Until you get stronger.

Lord Cheonmyeonghoe and Joybaek sat across from each other in the pavilion of the manor.

“How have you been?”

“Thanks to you, I had a good time.”

Joy Bai met Lord Cheonminghoe several times. Lord Cheonmyeonghoe did not act like a person shrouded in secrets. He came to me when I needed something, and even called me when I wanted to meet him.

Cheonmyeonghoeju’s martial arts skills were far superior to his own. However, after excluding the martial arts skills, the feeling was surprisingly ‘ordinary’.

It may not be an appropriate expression to describe the leader of the dark side, but he was certainly ordinary.

If you look back while eating in the guesthouse, you look as if you are sitting next to him and eating, and his appearance was ordinary. His tone and behavior were ordinary.

It felt extraordinary because a person who should not have been ordinary was ordinary. He was the kind of person who you would think could have been hiding in the dark because he was so ordinary.

“Why did you ask to see me today?”

“There is a problem.”

“Tell me.”

“The Murim Alliance noticed that my son had joined the group.”

Zhao Yibai stared at Tianminghui Zhou and asked further.

“When did you enroll my son?”

It was a situation where he should have been angry, but Joybaek asked calmly.

“Has your son also joined?”

Then Cheonmyeonghoeju responded that he did not know.

“I didn’t know.”

It seemed so natural that he really didn’t know, but Joybaek didn’t believe it.

You didn’t know that the heir, his son, was recruited while the Jinryongjang master himself was captured? If it is such a weak organization, it would be wise to get out as soon as possible.

Joy Baek didn’t bother to question the obvious nonsense. Because I didn’t meet with Lord Cheonmyeong to have an emotional battle. Today is the day he must walk the most dangerous and important tightrope of his life.

“My son is currently in prison. “I asked to see Lord Hoe to find a way.”

“We couldn’t have locked him in prison just because he was related to the association.”

“I am accused of falling for their scheme and trying to kidnap the lord’s granddaughter.”

“Oh my! Anyway, that’s what the shameless Murim Leaguers do.”

Lord Cheonmyeong clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“How can there be any way?”

“Isn’t Jo Jang-ju closely related to the Murim Lord?”

“Doesn’t the lord cherish his granddaughter very much? “I don’t think this matter can be resolved through friendship alone.”

“I understand. “I will think about what to do.”

“thank you.”

Just then, a door opened in the distance.

If Joybaek had to pick the most nervous moment in his life, it would be this moment.

Of course I thought it was the Murim lord, but the person who came in was a young man.

‘The leader didn’t come?’

Since the leader did not come, of course he did not bring his son either.

‘why?’

Why did you want the Cheonmyeonghoeju so much?

‘What kind of trick are you trying to pull?’

Of course, Sujak was trying to manipulate himself as well.

It was a measure in case the leader did not want to release his son even after dealing with Lord Cheonmyeonghoe, or tried to imprison him as well. He had prepared a master to really kidnap Jin Ha-ryeong.

But in this case, I didn’t expect it. The leader is not coming and neither is the son.

How should we react?

Joybaek’s eyes turned to the young man walking towards him.

Since he is a precious person, the leader can send other masters without coming directly. But sending only one young master like that?

‘no way? Is this young man an expert enough to deal with Lord Cheonmyeong?’

That can’t be possible. He must have come to convey the Lord’s words.

Geommugeuk walked towards there and no one stopped him. Neither Cheonmyeonghoeju nor Joy Bai gave any orders.

As Geomugeuk joined the table where the two were sitting, the head of Cheonmyeonghoe asked Joy Baek.

“Who is this small group?”

Lord Cheonmyeonghoe thought that the sword dance that walked towards them so calmly and proudly was naturally Joy Baek’s successor.

Then Joybaek asked, pretending not to know.

“Wasn’t this the person the Lord of Hoe brought?”

Geommugeuk said calmly.

“I am a person sent by the Murim Lord.”

For a moment, the head of Cheonmyeonghoe was startled.

The air around me has changed. Geommugeuk felt the people hiding around them busily moving to their positions.

“We have a distinguished guest, so I’ll leave. “Then let’s talk.”

The moment when the head of Cheonmyeonghoe naturally bows and stands up.

“Please sit down, Cheonmyeonghoeju.”

“!”

The leader of Cheonmyeonghoe quietly stared at the sword dance performance and then sat down again.

“You came because you knew I was there.”

Cheonmyeonghoeju’s eyes turned to Joy Baek. Joy Baek slightly shook his head and said he didn’t know.

The head of Cheonmyeonghoe asked.

“For what reason did the lord send Sohyeop?”

“Jangju Jo here negotiated. “I decided to exchange my son for a hoiju.”

Joybaek was taken aback because he didn’t expect to say it so openly. On the other hand, Cheonmyeonghoeju did not get angry at Joy Baek, probably because he thought it was natural.

Joy Baek vehemently denied it.

“Don’t believe it. “It’s a ploy by the leader to drive a wedge between us.”

Joy Baek had to relentlessly chase him away until he found out why the leader had sent this young man instead.

Of course, it was not an easy choice as long as there was sword dance.

“Don’t blame Jo Jangju too much. “It must have been a difficult decision because it was a child issue.”

“I understand.”

Lord Cheonmyeong nodded his head.

Joy Baek denied it until the end.

“Don’t be fooled. “Don’t play into their tricks.”

Joy Baek could not help but misunderstand. The Murim Lord is trying to get rid of him through Cheonmyeonghoeju. That’s why Joybaek was so angry.

‘You mean you come out like this?’

Joy Baek sent a message to his subordinate who was hiding in secret.

-Tell them to proceed towards Jin Ha-ryeong. Right Now!

-yes.

He decided that he could only survive if he got his hands on Jin Ha-ryeong as quickly as possible.

But he didn’t know. The reason the Murim Lord did not come here was because he accepted Geommugeuk’s advice to protect Jin Ha-ryeong.

Geommugeuk asked the head of the Cheonmyeonghoe.

“I have good news and bad news for you. “What do you want to hear first?”

“I like to start anything off on a good note, so let’s hear the good news first.”

“I came alone.”

“Are you really here alone?”

Lord Cheonmyeonghoe was surprised. I thought the Murim Alliance masters were camped out there.

“So what’s the bad news?”

“I came alone.”

As Geomugeuk repeated what he had said earlier, Cheonmyeonghoeju looked puzzled.

“Why is that bad news? “Didn’t you say it was good news earlier?”

“It’s also bad news. “Because there is no one to stop me.”

Although he was overconfident and speaking in an arrogant manner, Lord Cheonmyeonghoe seemed to be in a good mood.

“It’s not easy to find young people with this kind of spirit these days. Isn’t that right, Jo Jangju?”

“you’re right. “Not only newbies but also experienced seniors are busy taking care of themselves.”

Even though I was arguing like that, I still had doubts.

‘Are you really an expert who can kill the head of Cheonmyeonghoe? ‘Is that why you say that?’

Should I join the Murim Lord even now? Since I have the credit for handing over Cheonmyeonghoeju, I think we can somehow sort things out.

Geommugeuk must have read such a conflict and spoke to Joy Baek.

“Jo Jangju, I think we need to make it clear now which side we will be on.”

Joyback was really conflicted. But no matter how much I thought about it, I never thought that this young man could kill Lord Cheonmyeong. If there was a Murim lord here, the person nearby right now was Lord Cheonmyeonghoe.

“What are you talking about? “I have never betrayed Lord Hoe, not even for a moment.”

“May I accept this as your official position?”

It was a statement that meant that there was nothing that could be done even if he was beheaded.

Joybaek was caught up in conflict. The decision wasn’t easy because I couldn’t predict why the Murim Lord would do this.

At that time, the head of Cheonmyeonghoe smiled and said.

“I will solve the problems of our leader.”

The moment his words fell, people appeared from all directions.

Just by looking at the first person, he was someone who could make Joy Baek’s heart lean.

The man with the short straight sword on his waist was Guryeong, the magic sword. He was once the highest figure in the political faction and was called one of the three greatest masters of Taoism.

Cheonmyeonghoeju and yam.

These two alone must have made your heart flutter, but there were others as well.

There was a monk who appeared in robes holding a large iron rod in his hand. He was Yorai (堯羅利), a defeated monk who played an active role as the chief’s absolute master.

It wasn’t easy to think of anyone who could defeat these two, but finally, a hunchbacked old man with a unique appearance appeared.

The worn green pouch hanging from his waist told us who he was. He was Gokchu, a great poisoner who founded his family through poison. He was known to be so good at handling poison that it was said that the place he walked on became a land of death forever and not a single blade of grass could survive, so everyone who knew him was afraid of him.

However, it was not those three experts who completely changed the atmosphere of this place.

Masked people appeared from all directions. Like ants being pushed out of an anthill, countless masked people appeared from no one knows where they came from.

So the surrounding area was filled with them. From under the fence to the yard above the fence and on the roof. The number seemed to be at least a hundred people. They were not just people who filled the number of people. The eyes and force on the mask were fierce and sharp.

This was my first time learning about Joy Bag. I wonder why Cheonmyeonghoeju is accompanied by such great masters.

‘It’s really amazing. Even if you want to catch Cheonmyeonghoeju, you will never be able to.’

Any further worries were pointless.

When Joybaek gave a signal, four people appeared there.

Each of them was wearing a military uniform with patterns of plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums, and bamboo, and they were the Four Gentlemen, Joy Baek’s descendants.

“We will deal with that young guy ourselves.”

If you want to be forgiven for this incident, you have to be sure to receive it. Someone on your side must step forward and remove the author.

Joy Baek spoke frankly to the head of Cheonmyeonghoe.

“How about we forget our past mistakes as men? Didn’t this happen because you dragged my son in without my knowledge in the first place? Let’s just forget about each other.”

“great. “They say the ground hardens after it rains.”

The two people looked at each other and laughed.

Then Geommugeuk spoke.

“After you kill me, you will kill me. “There’s no way you can leave a traitor alive.”

“You little bastard! “Stop this bickering.”

Once Joybaek made up his mind, he didn’t look back.

“You will never make it out of here alive. Even if he is your leader, he will not survive.”

“I was honestly worried. “I’m afraid you will take my side.”

“What do you mean?”

“I decided to kill you too, but if you take my side, won’t you be sorry when I kill you?”

“Are you saying something like that even in this situation? “He truly is a madman.”

Joy Baek gave an order to the Four Gentlemen.

“Kill it.”

The Four Gentlemen stepped out into the open space.

Geomgeuk also walked slowly and stood facing them.

There were over a hundred masked masters tightly surrounding the area, and absolute masters of Zhammado and Defeat and Victory, as well as Jinryongjangju and Cheonmyeonghoeju, were all watching.

Geommugeuk stared at Cheonmyeonghoeju in that huge mass and spoke calmly.

“I will summarily punish all of you, including Lord Cheonmyeonghoe and Lord Jinryong, here and there for the crime of pretending to be an extremely evil Soma, plundering the lives and property of powerful people, and plotting to overthrow the Murim Alliance by marrying the Lord’s granddaughter.”

There was silence for a moment.

But soon, someone couldn’t hold back and started laughing, and from that, the ridicule spread to everyone. No one here was nervous or afraid. Yes, you must be an expert. Since he is confident in his skills, he would say something like that.

However, it would not be surprising if they attacked the Murim Alliance right away. So, everyone just enjoyed the madness of a child who could not tell the world.

It was as if everyone was being told to be quiet at the very moment the murmurs and snickering grew louder.

Woooooooooo!

The dark magic sword began to cry on its own due to a deep sound coming from the abyss.
