Chapter 314
314fury. Even if you weren't a member of the Murim Alliance
Baek Soo-ryong returned to the room and said as soon as he sat down..
“First of all, it’s not Uicheon Danju..”
I wasted more time at Uicheondan than I thought..
When I belatedly visited the Extermination Squad's training ground, it was already lunch time and the training ground was empty..
So, the two of them had just returned to their dorm..
“The reason for being confident that it is not?”
Namgungsu sat across from Baeksuryong and asked..
At the same time, a curtain was spread inside the room to prevent sound from escaping..
“If Danju Uicheon was the traitor we were looking for, there is no way he would have acted that way when that guy named Jang Gon went on the rampage..”
Baek Soo-ryong said, recalling what happened earlier..
he remembered exactly.
When an excited Jang Gon wrapped his sword around his sword, Namgungsu and Uicheon Danju moved at the same time to try to block Jang Gon..
Namgungsu narrowed his eyebrows and asked..
“If Uicheon Danju was the culprit, then there is no way he would have tried to save you when you were in danger??”
“of course.”
“What if that was even an act? If I had expected you, who had a strong sense of pride, to tell me not to intervene, I only pretended to save you.?”
Namgoongsu crossed his arms and expressed an opposing opinion..
But Baek Soo-ryong chuckled and shook his head..
“If that's the case, then he's not even a criminal..”
“why?”
“Because that moment was the perfect opportunity to kill me..”
“……no way.”
Namgoongsu’s expression hardened as he remembered a certain family..
Baek Soo-ryong raised one corner of his mouth and nodded..
“Just now, Uicheon Danju could have intervened in the fight. Because Jang Gon is doing his job. That's enough reason to stop the fight. Now here's the problem.”
Baek Soo-ryong put his long legs on the table and asked Namgung-su..
“What would you have done if Uicheon Danju wanted to kill me??”
Namgungsu received the words with a stern expression..
“…… I could pretend to break up the fight and get Jangon and you tangled up and then use a dark sword, or I could use an airborne object to move Jangon's sword at close range. If you are a master of Uicheon Danju, you are probably an expert who can do that..”
By moving the blade just one inch to the side during sparring, a minor abrasion could be turned into a fatal wound..
And when that happened, Jang Gon would have been blamed for the crime..
Baek Soo-ryong smiled and nodded..
“A model student indeed. That's correct.”
“Ha, no matter what, I can't believe it's that much…….”
Until Baek Soo-ryong told him, Nam Gung-su didn't even think of that..
It wasn't a question of whether you were smart or not..
The limits of the imagination of Mu-in, who was born and raised in a peaceful political faction..
On the other hand, this was a natural thought for Baek Soo-ryong, who experienced the blood religion's law of the jungle in his previous life..
“The other person is a traitor who joined the blood cult. If my mind reading was more than that, it would have been more, it would never have been less..”
Namgungsu also nodded as if he understood..
However, Namgungsu’s expression as he looked at Baeksuryong was strangely cold..
“……So, in a situation where Uicheondanju might kill you by borrowing someone else's sword, you stayed still to check it?.”
“It wasn't noticeable?”
Baek Soo-ryong smiled proudly and asked.
But the response that came back was colder than expected..
“White Water Dragon. why are you always like that?”
“……What else??”
Namgungsu jumped up from his seat and glared at Baeksuryong with menacing eyes. It seemed like lightning would come out from inside his bright yellow gold..
“If you had such a plan, you should have told me in advance. What if Uicheon Danju really tried to kill you? Did you plan on dying like that??”
“Who dies?…….”
“Looks like I have two lives..”
Grinding!
Baek Soo-ryong flinched at the sight of Nam Gung-su, who was glaring at him with his brain energy rising..
But Baek Soo-ryong was not left without something to say..
“No, I didn't think that way from the beginning, right? Right from the middle, I thought it could end up like this..”
“You should have sent a signal even then. If you had at least looked at me once, I would have been more wary..”
If Baek Su-ryong had died or been injured, Nam Gung-su would not have been able to forgive himself..
“……Um, sorry about that..”
When Baek Soo-ryong apologized obediently, Nam Gung-su also sighed softly and nodded..
“From next time, pay attention to the people next to you too..”
The reasoning that stopped for a moment continued..
“In any case, Uicheon Danju was excluded from the suspects. In that case, it's the death and death danju and the budanju. It's one of two things..”
“What is the possibility of both? I heard that the Lord of the Order of Death and the Lord of Buddhism have been close friends for a long time..”
Of course, that possibility is not entirely remote, but Baek Soo-ryong shook his head..
“probably one person.”
The smaller the number, the greater the reward..
And there is less worry about secrets leaking out..
Baek Soo-ryong thought it was very likely that there was only one traitor..
“The odds are half and half. They are both Danju and Subdanju who belong to the same group of mortals.…….”
When Baek Soo-ryong was thinking deeply, Namgungsu spoke up..
“They said they've been friends for almost twenty years.?”
“They said so.”
Ryu Seol and Mo Yong-jun said they have known each other since they joined the Murim Alliance..
“I guess it's safe to say that there's nothing we don't know about each other..”
“Mo Yong-jun knows that Ryu Seol has mastered magic. why is that?”
Namgungsu crossed his arms and raised his head to look at the ceiling. His golden eyes shone coolly..
“If something had changed in that kind of friend, wouldn't each other be the first to know??”
“……It means that they will be aware of the betrayal.?”
“Even if I don’t know about betrayal.”
Namgungsu looked down from his gaze toward the ceiling and looked straight at Baeksuryong..
“I think you can feel that something has changed. For example, doing something you don't normally do.”
When it was said that Baek Su-ryong broke down the main gate of the Murim Alliance and caused chaos, Namgung-su thought that was unbecoming of Baek Su-ryong..
It was the same when he provoked Uicheon Danju and swallowed the poison of Sanggong himself..
If we've known each other for 20 years, wouldn't we know each other much better than that??
“indeed… … . That makes sense..”
Baek Su-ryong also nodded..
If you've been friends for 20 years, there's a good chance you've noticed some changes in your friend..
Even if you can't think of betrayal, you probably have some doubts..
“If we confirm that doubt?”
“There must be some reaction. Whether you're trying to protect a friend, find out the truth, or…….”
Baek Soo-ryong and Nam Gung-su's mouths were similarly twisted..
“Maybe you're trying to cover up your own sins.”
“Let's check it out. Whose friendship between the two is fake?.”
* * *
“What kind of bookstore is this??”
Ryu Seol, the leader of the Order of Death, tilted his head when he looked at the letter the servant brought him..
She had just come out after taking a bath after work..
Already quite late at night. A cool breeze blew through the half-open window..
“It's not an official document. This is a personal letter to me at this time... … . Maybe it's a romantic relationship?”
In the past, I received love letters quite often..
But I haven't received it since I became the master of the Order of Death..
No, it was after the number of men who had their heads broken from careless attacks exceeded 100.?
“I don't know who it is, but it's cute.”
Ryu Seol opened the envelope, took out the letter, and read it..
As soon as she read the first sentence, her eyes widened..
“White water dragon? Why is that guy... … . Is this really Yeonseo??”
Ryu Seol read the manuscript with interest..
And her expression became increasingly scary..
When he finished reading the letter, Ryu Seol's expression was distorted as if he were a murderer..
“Such a crazy bastard!”
Sigh, wow!
A terrifying murderous spirit bloomed in the eyes of Ryu Seol, who tore the book into pieces..
The servants came into the room in surprise..
“Danju? what's going on?”
“……It's nothing.”
Ryu Seol tried to calm his excitement..
Although I shouted for a moment, what was written in the letter was something that could not be said in vain..
She took her coat and got up..
“I'll go out for a moment and come back.”
“yes? where to go at this time…….”
“It might be late. don't wait.”
Hwiik!
Ryu Seol's body, which opened a light attack, passed the servants in an instant and climbed over the wall..
She muttered to herself as she ran through the streets of Wuhan at night..
“what? betrayer?”
「It seems that Mo Yongjun betrayed the Murim Alliance and joined hands with the blood religion..」
There were many other things written there, but what really stuck in my mind were those few lines..
「I would like to talk quietly. Tonight, please come alone to the address below..」
Ryu Seol did not think that the letter was a trap to lure him out..
‘I mentioned my magic. I'm sure it was sent by Baek Soo-ryong..’
Even if it was a trap, it didn't matter. All I have to do is destroy everything..
Ryu Seol clenched his teeth..
How dare you write something like this??
If there was a white water dragon in front of me, I felt like I wanted to rip it to pieces and kill it..
But at the same time, some doubts began to creep in after twenty years..
Martial arts has been stagnant for quite some time, but has suddenly made great progress in recent years..
Moments when you don't talk to yourself and often leave without a reason..
Facial expressions that felt unfamiliar, knowingly or unknowingly.
‘No way, no way…….’
“under! nonsense.”
Ryu Seol shook his head vigorously..
I felt pathetic for doubting my friend because of that little letter..
Mo Yongjun betrayed the Murim Alliance? What is it that I regret??
The Vice Danju of Odan is a position where one can enjoy sufficient wealth and honor..
If Mo Yongjun wanted, she could also give up her position as Danju..
Even though the leader won't allow it,…….
「I need Danju’s help to find solid evidence..」
Everything written in the letter Baek Soo-ryong sent is nothing but bullshit..
It was clear that the Namgung family's attempt to capture Hyeok-gyo was in vain..
“……I'll make you pay for that bullshit..”
A light flashed in Ryu Seol’s only eye. Her new model became a breeze..
After a while, she arrived at a crumbling abandoned house on the outskirts of the city..
Kwaang!
After breaking the wall and entering, Baek Su-ryong got up from his seat..
“You came.”
“Let's take a hit first.”
A single black sword was pulled out from Ryu Seol's waist. A black trail aimed at the white water dragon's shoulder..
Ugh!
Before I knew it, Namgungsu had drawn his sword and blocked Baeksuryong’s path. He said with a calm expression.
“If you want to hurt this guy, you'll have to cut me down first..”
“okay. Were you one too??”
“Senior. First, calm down…….”
“shut up! who is your senior!”
Ryu Seol burst into laughter. Then, the incontinence on the walls of the abandoned house deepened, and the roof began to shake. It was the aftermath of Ryu Seol increasing his strength..
Kwakwakwakwa-!
Ryu Seol’s hair rose into the sky. Life exploded in his only eye. A light wave of immense energy swept through the lungs. It felt like a storm had come..
‘Even if you don't use magic, it's like this.?’
Baek Su-ryong opened his eyes wide..
I expected it to be strong, but Ryu Seol's presence was even greater than that..
She walked towards the two with two black swords hanging down..
“If you weren't part of the Murim Alliance, I would have killed you right here..”
The moment they heard those words, Namgungsu and Baeksuryong were convinced..
Ryu Seol is not a traitor.
“Even now, I'm thinking of killing him halfway..”
The problem was to convince her.
