Chapter 111
Episode 111 Because I didn’t know.
Extreme Soma was happy.
Although he may have had all sorts of experiences as a Mazon, he would never have been involved in deciding on the successor to the Apostolic Alliance. No, I would never have thought there would be anything to be involved with..
“Are you really saying we should choose a successor??”
“yes, that's right.”
“How do you mean?”
“If we think the current successor, Bisain, is good, we help him maintain his position as successor, and if we think someone else will benefit us, we appoint him or her. I may be a bit foolish, but I think that the successor to the Apostolic Association should be someone who will thoroughly benefit the church, regardless of their individual character..”
Of course, it must be someone who is beneficial not only to the school but also to me..
“Then we should put the most idiotic person in the seat..”
“No, if that happens, the situation in Murim will become unstable. At the very least, we need to seat someone who can predict what they will do. Anyway, if we handle this matter well, we will be doing our school a great service..”
Extreme Soma laughed out loud. It's a pleasure just to deal with a powerful enemy like Sarokkwan Chu, but if you make a contribution in that matter, you will literally kill two birds with one stone..
“Are we finally getting to see Lee Gongja’s world??”
A look of anticipation flashed in his eyes..
“no. This world is still Soma's world.”
“It's my world?”
“If Soma wasn't there, it wouldn't have happened in the first place. Would I have thought of dealing with the leader of the Apostle League on my own??”
“Are you showing off your flattery skills again??”
“Why is Xingong called Xingong? I have to polish it all my life..”
Extreme Soma was amused by my joke. The situation is interesting.
Ian and Cheongmyeon were sent to the safe house where Cheonhwaruju was..
The order was given to protect Tianhuaruju, but there were two other reasons..
First of all, it's dangerous. Now that it has been revealed that the main enemy is Sado-maeng Dae-ro Seok Guan Chu, there is no telling which expert will emerge in the future..
The second is because he wants Ian and Cheongmyeon to spend time together. I told Ian. Get what you want. It's up to Ian whether he can pull it off. I just hope that Ian's bowl can serve green noodles..
Before leaving, Ian said just one thing to me..
“If you make a mistake, I will die too..”
“Come on, don’t fight thinking you have two lives..”
Cheongmyeon watched the scene and politely bowed his head to Geukaksoma. Extreme Soma didn't say anything..
I have never seen Geukak Soma, who is blunt to his subordinates, and Cheongmyeon have a conversation other than official orders..
So I sent the two people to the safe house, and Geukaksoma and I ran towards the sky..
“where do we go?”
“I'm going to Baekyagok to meet Bisain..”
A while ago, I informed the Bisain that the people who tried to kill the evil Soma were the Blood Beast Five Spirits of the White Night Valley..
Since then, no new news has been heard from Bisain or Baekyagok, which means that Bisain has not yet solved the problem of finding the mastermind in Baekyagok..
* * *
Bisain was drinking at a bar near Baekyagok..
His face was red. It's not because I'm drunk, it's because I'm angry. The more I worried, the more ugly the scars on my face became..
He still couldn't find out who was behind it. It was valuable information received in exchange for a huge amount of money after defeating Baekgye Sangdan in Gwiju, but things did not work out as expected..
Until I came here, I was trying to get the White Night Gokju confessed for trying to kill the evil soma by somehow putting pressure on him and ordering him to kill the evil soma..
If that didn't work, they tried to force a confession by pushing him. If it were just me and the seven Apostles, even the masters of the White Night Valley and the White Night Valley would have no choice..
However, when they arrived at Baekyagok, Baekyagokju had gone off somewhere. He was here the day before he arrived, but he left the village in a hurry, taking only his limbs with him..
I tried to find out Baekyagokju's whereabouts by scaring his subordinates, but they didn't know..
I thought he might have heard in advance that he was coming. Secrets keep leaking out.
Bisain emptied his drink again. Suddenly, a sword dance came to mind. When I feel cornered, I often think of him without realizing it..
‘Uselessly.’
It was just when Bisain was about to drink again, as if to shake off the sword dance..
A man wearing a bamboo hat approached the seat where he was sitting. The seven apostles sitting around jumped up and drew their swords..
Then the man who approached took off his bamboo robe and revealed himself..
“It's been a while.”
The man who came to see him was none other than Geommugeuk. Bisain was really surprised when he appeared while he was thinking about a sword dance performance..
“How did you know I was here??”
Bisain glared at the sword dance with a face full of suspicion..
On the other hand, the sword dance performance was calm..
“From the information I gave you, it is natural to guess that he came to White Night Valley, and how can you not find him when people are flocking around like this??”
Geommugeuk looked at the 13 Apostles around him. There were eight unmanned people moving around, but it was easy to find where they were..
“Can I sit down??”
“Yes..”
Geommugeuk sat in front of Bisain..
The Bisain ordered the Apostles to sit down. Everyone sat in their seats nervously. Ilang Baek Cheol-gi sat next to Bi Sain, ready to draw his sword at any time..
“Why did you come here??”
Although he asked bluntly, Bisain was secretly glad to see the sword dance. I shouldn't feel that way, but I keep feeling like I'm relying on you..
“Sir, I have some important information to share with you..”
“What?”
“I found out who was behind this..”
For a moment, Bisain was startled. Not only that, not only Baek Cheol-gi but also the other apostles were all surprised..
“who is that?”
Geommugeuk didn’t answer right away..
“I can't just give away this important information..”
The next moment, Bisain looked at the sword dance with the thought, “Oops.”.
‘Sir, you made a big mistake..’
I shouldn't have said such an important fact here..
The reason was because of the Thirteen Apostles..
Bisain suspected that among these seven apostles following him, there was a spy planted by the person who wanted to kill him..
A lot of things haven't gone well lately, and I thought it was because the spy was first stealing information from the other side..
This time, when I arrived at Baekyagok, my suspicions were confirmed when I saw that Baekyagokju was away. There was no doubt that someone was relaying information over there..
With such important information leaked under these circumstances, it was only a matter of time before the mastermind found out..
The reason I sent a message to Geommugeuk the other day was to tell him this and ask for help, but I couldn't bring myself to ask for help..
He regretted sending the message for no reason. The successor to the Sado Meng is helpful to the Heavenly Demon's blood relatives? You don't know how much I blamed myself for trying to do something so absurd..
“I came from far away and I am thirsty..”
Geommugeuk held out his glass..
Bisain poured alcohol into Geommugeuk’s glass..
At that moment, the sound of the sword dance reached Bisain..
―Let's talk about the details first..
―!
Bisain's hand that was pouring the drink paused for a moment and then poured again..
Bisign could tell. That Geommugeuk knows exactly the situation he is in. Bisain's heart began to beat faster at the thought that perhaps the problem he had been worrying about might be resolved..
This is a change after encountering sword dance. This person keeps making his heart beat faster. It keeps making you compare and makes you feel shabby..
‘shit!’
makes me look forward to it.
That night. A masked person silently landed on the roof of the largest inn in town..
He hid something under the tile at the end of the roof. There were set rules for sending secret letters. No matter which village you went to, if you hid a secret letter in the corner of the roof of the largest house in that village, there would be someone who would take it and send it as a private message. If it's in the mountains, there's a set tree to hide it in, and if it's in a field, there's a set place to bury it..
When I was about to hide the secret letter and quickly leave the place, someone spoke from behind..
“Geommugeuk discovers the identity of the mastermind..”
The masked man was startled and turned around to see Geommugeuk, who had approached him silently, taking out a secret letter he had hidden and reading it..
Geommugeuk came out from Baekyagok's residence after confirming that he had fallen asleep while drinking with Bisain..
“I'm a light sleeper. While I was sleeping, I heard someone sneaking out like a stray cat..”
The masked man instantly realized that this was all a trap. The problem was that I was in a hurry because I thought the information I needed to share was too important..
Just when the masked person was trying to run away.
“I will run after you and tell everyone. Among the Thirteen Apostles, the one who is currently away is a traitor. I'm confident in my ability to light, so you won't be able to go back faster than me..”
The masked man suddenly stopped Shinhyeong and the sword dance provoked him..
“It would be better for you to kill me here and now. Then at least your identity won't be revealed..”
The masked man turned towards the sword dance and drew his sword..
The masked man still didn't say a word. I don't know what will happen, but I didn't want to make my voice heard..
This is what happened anyway, there was only one way. To commit murder and go back quietly and pretend not to notice.
The masked people immediately rushed towards the sword dance..
hiss!
When the two come together, the masked man's movements were amazing, as he is known to be stronger than Mazon..
Easy profit.
The masked man's new form instantly narrowed the distance and flew towards Geommugeuk..
visor!
The moment the swords first clashed, the masked man's heart sank. The moment he almost lost his grip on the sword, he knew. He is said to have superior sword dance skills than himself..
It wasn't just the endurance that was outstanding..
visor! visor!
His herbivorous skills, which had so easily killed his enemies so far, did not work at all..
His attacks aimed at vital points were, without fail, blocked by Geommugeuk's sword. I felt like I was doing my best, but the opponent was just blocking it..
Sensing the obvious difference in skill, the masked man launched himself in the opposite direction for the first time in a dozen times. I just thought that I could survive if I ran away like this..
right then!
Peeing!
puck!
His thigh was pierced by a blowing earth wind..
Screaming out loud, he rolled around on the floor and then jumped up. The person who got off and blocked the way was none other than Extreme Soma..
“A man turns his back on a fight? Aren’t you embarrassed??”
The masked person's eyes turned red with shame..
Before we knew it, a sword dance performance had arrived in the back. The problem was that the people who appeared here were not these two people..
“yukrang!”
The masked man's heart sank as he heard the voice calling him..
Bisain and the rest of the Apostles appeared..
The masked person was none other than Yukrang, the sixth apostle. Their leader, Ylang Baek Cheol-gi, was really angry..
“Did you really betray me??”
Baek Cheol-gi couldn't believe it even after seeing it with his own eyes. If someone had to choose among the thirteen Apostles in the order in which they were most likely to betray, the first person they would pick was Yukrang..
“Why is this like this? Didn't you know that the Thirteen Apostles should not get involved in politics??”
Yukrang took off his mask..
“why not?”
“what?”
“Why do we have to live by rules that we don't even know who set??”
“Boy, then what more did you want from living as an unmanned person? If you didn't want to live a life like this, you shouldn't have sworn allegiance in the first place.!”
“Because I didn't know. Because I didn’t know that I would end up living such a pathetic life despite my lifelong martial arts skills! I didn't know that life would be like this, rushing around to protect one grand duke.!”
For a moment, Bisain’s expression hardened. He didn't know Yukrang was following him around with that kind of heart. Do others feel the same way??
Ylang shouted at him..
“Stop making excuses! What did they give you? What on earth can they give me to get out of this pathetic life??”
Yukrang could not answer. It wasn't something to say to Ilang or to other colleagues. I couldn't bear to say that I had been promised a huge amount of money and a high position..
“I am not a traitor. I was just trying to find my life.!”
Yookrang made a loud noise and chose a partner to marry. The person he chose was Geommugeuk..
“It's all because of you!”
Yukrang flew towards the sword dance..
Even when I wasn't excited, I was no match for him, but now I was even hurt..
Just when I was pouring out my greed towards the sword dance performance.
Puuk!
The blade protruded through his back and into his chest..
When Yukrang slowly turned his head, Bisain was standing behind him..
“…… It's all because of you.”
In response to Luk Lang’s resentment, Bi Sain said bluntly:.
“I heard it was because of Lee Gongja..”
Bisain pulled out his sword as if he didn't want to talk anymore..
Under the moonlight, a fountain of blood spurted from Yukrang's body. If he had stood still, the sword dance would have been covered in blood, but he dodged to the side. Because this fight was a family fight among the Apostles..
Bisain asked Geomugeuk while holding a sword dripping with blood in his hand..
“Now, tell me. Who is behind it?.”
