Chapter 389

The moment he saw Heuklipin walking at a leisurely pace like Hanryang, Mae Geuk-ryeom's eyebrows narrowed..
As soon as I saw his gait, I recognized who Heuklipin was. There was no way I wouldn't be able to recognize the bastard I caught the most in my career as a student leader, just by using black lips..
“Reinforcements... … You bastard?”
“Father-in-law. As soon as I saw it, I thought, what a bastard. There are other people too.”
As Baek Mu-heun took off his black lip and grumbled, Mae Geuk-ryeom too realized his mistake too late and cleared his throat..
“Hmm. It's not easy to change habits..”
“How many times have you been calling me a bastard?…….”
Noh Gun-sang, who was listening to the conversation between the two with interest, asked Mae Geuk-ryeom:.
“I know who it is just by looking at their faces, but please introduce them to us formally..”
“my… … . This is my son-in-law.”
Mae Geuk-ryeom still felt awkward introducing Baek Mu-heun as his son-in-law in front of others..
Baek Moo-heun said as he took the gun to Noh Gun-sang and Nam Gung-su..
“This is Muheun Baek. He is Suryong’s father..”
“This is the statue of Mr. Roh. I am in charge of the Cheongryong Academic Hall..”
“Mr. Gwanju. I am also a graduate of Cheongryong Academy. Please speak comfortably.”
“Heh heh. I understand. Was he a graduate when the former governor was there??”
“yes. you're right.”
Namgungsu also politely took the sword from Baek Moo-heun..
“This is Namgungsu. I am Mr. Baek Soo-ryong’s senior at work..”
“I've heard a lot about it. Our Suryong is in a lot of debt.?”
“……no. And please speak comfortably.”
While the three people were greeting each other for the first time, Baek Soo-ryong, who had been away for a while, also arrived..
“You're all gathered..”
Baek Soo-ryong looked around at the people gathered at the table..
It's so bad. Namgungsu. Noh Award.
They were the most trustworthy people in the Cheongryong Academy, and they were experts who could deal with the Spray of Salmak on their own..
Baek Soo-ryong's gaze stayed for a moment longer on his father, whom he had not seen in a long time. There was a little admiration in his eyes..
‘It surprises me every time I see it again.’
I felt like I could understand the Murim Lord's surprise every time he met him again..
Baek Mu-heun’s prayer was different from last time. As if to make up for all the years he suffered from feelings of guilt toward his family, he was belatedly blooming as a warrior..
Baek Mu-heun chuckled after reading the surprise in his son's eyes..
“Why are you looking at me so intently??”
“……There are no injuries.?”
Baek Mu-heun shrugged his shoulders..
“As you can see. I tried to bring him back alive as much as possible, but as the defeat deepened, I immediately swallowed my resolve..”
The moment Gusal exchanged swords with Baek Mu-heun, he sensed defeat and swallowed his courage. What killed him was not a sword wound to the chest, but poison..
“I looked through my clothes, but there was nothing special. All it took was a few memorizations and poison..”
Baek Moo-heun handed Gusal’s belongings he had brought with him to his son. Baek Soo-ryong looked at them for a moment and nodded..
“Teacher Baek. Are these four people the only ones who know that the assassins broke in??”
In response to Noh Gun-sang’s question, Baek Soo-ryong shook his head..
“I told this to some of my students and classmates. There is a possibility that he was put on the death squad because of his friendship with me..”
“What are they? It's not like I'm a clumsy lifesaver..”
This time it was Namgungsu’s question. Baek Soo-ryong nodded and answered briefly..
“flesh membrane).”
The expressions of the three people hardened at the same time..
Everyone has heard of Salmak, the best shooter group in the midfield..
“A living room... … . Could it be that the blood religion requested Salmak??”
“I think the flesh membrane itself is the internal structure of blood religion..”
It was solid information, but the source could not be revealed, so Baek Soo-ryong treated it as if it were his own guess..
“And according to the information obtained by interrogating the assassins, Cheon-sal is also included among the assassins..”
“A thousand years old…….”
The old man sighed in a low voice. Baek Su-ryong asked him.
“Mr. Gwanju. Do you know anything else about 1000 years of age??
“…… It is known to be a monster raised by Salmak to kill a world-class expert. When active masters suddenly disappear or go into hiding, the first reason Salmak is suspected is because of Cheonsal. In fact, nearly half of them turned out to be the work of a thousand years old..”
Salmak's assassins were each of an outstanding level, but it was no exaggeration to say that it was because of CheonSal that they gained a reputation as the best killers in the world..
“……Wait a minute. When you say that it has been revealed that it was Cheon-sal's actions, do you mean that he intentionally made it known that he killed him??”
In response to Baek Soo-ryong’s sharp question, Noh Gun-sang nodded. The story coming out of his mouth now was a secret story known only to the upper class in the martial arts world..
“This guy carves the word 'Heavenly Kill' somewhere on the body of the target of his murder. Just like a painter leaves a mark on his work..”
“You're crazy..”
Baek Su-ryong was actually calm, but Mae Geuk-ryeom and Baek Mu-heun's expressions hardened when they heard that such a terrible murderer was targeting Baek Su-ryong..
“Don't you dare say something like that……!”
“The situation was more dangerous than I thought..”
Mae Geuk-ryeom held his sword tightly with an angry expression, and Baek Mu-heun looked at his son with calm eyes..
“In this situation, is the Blue Dragon Festival okay? If killers commit indiscriminate killings in the city,……. ”
“The government, Haomun, and even the government cooperated to spread the Cheonlaji Network. If the sprinklers move, you will be able to react immediately..”
Mr. Roh also said that there was no need to worry too much about that..
“Cheonsal is known for handling murders cleanly. I don't like the dirty method with a lot of blood splattering.”
It was also a characteristic of Salmak..
I could tell just by thinking about Chilsal, who had targeted Gongsunsu in the past..
At the time, Black Forest and Hyeolbang did not hesitate to attack innocent spectators indiscriminately to cause confusion, but Chilsal persevered until the end and only showed up at the end..
“It's not a sure thing, so I'll tell my friends out there to be more vigilant..”
Everyone nodded at Baek Soo-ryong’s words..
Spray water is extremely dangerous when you are unaware of its existence, but if you were aware of it, you could have adequately prepared for it..
‘I think he wants to play tag with me..’
Baek Soo-ryong was confident..
Even before the Blue Dragon Festival began, everything was prepared..
“For now, the four of you, please take charge of your respective areas and monitor them. And I have a favor to ask of you.…….”
Baek Soo-ryong began explaining the rules to his allies who would help him play tag..
* * *
“All five are dead... … . That's fun.”
Through the magic he had used in advance, Cheonsal learned that the five assassins he had infiltrated into the Blue Dragon Academy had all lost their breath..
“I thought at least one person would get out alive... … . It looks like your defenses were tighter than you thought..”
He scratched his cheek with an embarrassed expression. But the corners of his mouth were turned up cheerfully..
[What should I do?.]
A sound was heard in the dark..
Cheonsal looked up at the sky. Perhaps because he was moderately drunk, the stars filling the pitch-black night sky stimulated his sensitivity..
“ah… … . It seems like their spirit is greater than I expected, but they also brought quite a lot of consumables. Implement plan two.”
[All right.]
Although he was openly treating the other assassins as expendables, the assassin in the darkness answered in a pitchless voice and soon disappeared..
“It's not fun.”
Cheonsal chuckled and quickly walked back to the drinking party..
“They said they were going to a back yard, but why did it take so long? I thought I fell into the toilet.”
He smiled awkwardly at his fellow instructors who welcomed him and sat down..
“Haha, I went for a walk to sober up..”
“Since I came late, I told you to have three drinks as punishment.!”
“ha ha ha! I'll drink as much as I want!”
Cheonsal enjoyed this place..
When working, he was completely immersed in his role..
Being an instructor at Cheongryong Academy was more fun than I expected..
The Blue and White match played with everyone today was also pleasant and enjoyable. It was worth remembering as one of the most fun things I've ever experienced in my life..
“This guy is running a lot today.?”
“are you okay? If you're tired, drink in moderation and rest..”
“What are you talking about? Life is such that there may not be tomorrow, so you should drink to your heart's content today. ha ha ha!”
Until dawn, Cheonsal enjoyed the festival, eating and drinking intoxicated with excitement..
There were times when he felt suspicious eyes on him, but he didn't mind at all..
* * *
Until dawn, Baek Su-ryong found and killed five more assassins hiding around the Blue Dragon Academy..
“something is strange.”
After cutting off the head of the fifth assassin, Baek Su-ryong looked down at the corpse and muttered..
[What's strange??]
Changryongshingeom asked, his sword body trembling. Baek Soo-ryong answered, shaking the blood from his sword body onto the floor..
“The assassins. Why are you hiding all night doing nothing??”
[You didn't find me and kill me before I could do anything.?]
“I thought so too…….”
All of Salmak's assassins were excellent, but they were not enough to threaten Baeksu-ryong's life. And my stealth skills weren't good enough to avoid his attention..
“I have a feeling there might be some other intention..”
Baek Su-ryong did not hide his location. Rather, he openly revealed it and went looking for assassins..
Meanwhile, Mae Geuk-ryeom, Nam Gung-su, Noh Gun-sang, and Baek Mu-heun observed the movements of the assassins from afar..
The plan was to find out how the assassins behave according to the movements of the white water dragon, and if they move or run away, trace their movements back and find the killer..
But there was no result. The assassins did not run away, and when they encountered a white water dragon, they lunged at him in a panic and died..
The more it happened, the more uncomfortable I felt..
“……I have to go back to the academy first..”
As soon as Baeksu-ryong returned to the Blue Dragon Hall, he felt a familiar figure approaching..
“older brother.”
It was an evil Yeon-ho. He was approaching me, reeking of alcohol, but his eyes were clearer than ever..
Last night, Ak Yeon-ho and his classmates stayed inside the Cheongryong Academy to prepare for an emergency..
He pretended to be drunk and kept hanging out at the bar, but in reality, he was watching the academy while blowing away all his drunkenness..
Ak Yeon-ho lowered his voice and said.
“Among the instructors, there is one who is suspected of being an assassin. Naturally, I asked various things about my brother..”
“……Who is it??”
“Teacher Jin Uihyeop..”
Jin Medical Association.
Although they often bumped into each other during this Blue and White battle, before that, Baek Soo-ryong and I had very little close relationships..
‘Jin Medical Association can survive? There was no sign of anything suspicious.…….’
If the other person was a thousand years old, there was a possibility that he had deceived his senses. Because I didn't pay that much attention to begin with..
“where are you now?”
Ak Yeon-ho grinned at that question..
“It's in a tavern. We fed him a lot of alcohol. Now I'm completely sleepy.”
“……Salsu was drunk and fell asleep.?”
“Hehe. They must have known we were suspicious, so they couldn't refuse. So we surrounded them and fed them a lot..”
“I didn't harass innocent people for no reason.?”
Anyway, my classmates were suspicious and kept it, so it was worth checking for myself..
Baek Soo-ryong and Ak Yeon-ho headed to the bar where Jin Medical Association was located..
The inside of the bar was a mess..
Traces of pouring, drinking, and eating from night to dawn. Kettles and glasses containing cheap takju were lying around, and there was a lot of leftover snacks scattered around..
There were instructors and older students sleeping on the table..
Baek Soo-ryong felt a little anger rising..
“Some people walk around without being able to sleep at all, but these are good to sell..”
As if he heard those words, Kwak Doo-yong raised his head from one of the tables and made a strange groaning sound. He had a frown on his face as if he had a headache..
“Baek Soo-ryong… … ? Where have you been and now you're back? Since we’re here, should we have hangover together??”
Baek Soo-ryong ignored those words and went to Jinuihyeop..
“Jin Medical Association?”
“With brother Il-oh over there…….”
“Brother Suryong!”
Myeong Il-oh came rushing over. He looked very embarrassed.
“Teacher Jin Euihyeop has disappeared.!”
“what?”
