Chapter 175
Episode 175 There is good news and bad news.
I slowly took off my clothes while staring at myself in longing..
I took off everything except my underwear. A smooth body without any flab, strengthened 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 such as my heart, neck, and Danjeon. And on top of that, he wore the noble robe given by Hyeolcheon Doma..
Seo Dae-ryong sat on the bed and watched me silently as I prepared for the decisive battle..
At a time like this, I felt bad about missing the joke, so I made a joke to Seo Dae-ryong..
“We'll go together and fight, won't we??”
“I won't do it. 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 said to him while wearing light and comfortable military uniform..
“As you advance further, your mind will change! You will throw yourself into the danger of life and death. I will get pleasure from it and move on to seek greater danger..”
“Please don't make such strange prophecies.!”
Seo Dae-ryong stuck his head out the window and looked up at the sky and said..
“Pretend you didn’t hear it! No, no. My adventure is over. I already have enough stories to tell my grandchildren when they sit on my lap..”
I can't help but joke around when you react so eagerly..
“Please be careful.”
“Mysterious organizations are only dangerous when they are mysterious, but when they are revealed like this, they become even more insignificant. don't worry.”
“No matter how much you say, 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 become stronger.

Lord Cheonmyeonghoe and Joy Baek sat facing 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 would come to me if I needed anything, and if I wanted to meet him, he would call me like this..
Cheonmyeonghoeju's martial arts skills were far superior to his own. However, after excluding the martial arts skills, the feeling was surprisingly ‘ordinary’..
Ordinary is not an appropriate expression for the leader of the dark side, but he was certainly ordinary..
If you turn around while eating in the guesthouse, you look as if you were sitting next to him and eating, and his appearance was ordinary. The way he spoke and acted was normal..
Because a person who should not have been ordinary was ordinary, it actually felt extraordinary. He was the kind of person who I thought could have been hiding in the dark because he was so ordinary..
“Why did you ask to see me today??”
“There's a problem.”
“tell me.”
“The Murim Alliance noticed that my son had joined the group..”
Joy Baek stared at Cheonmyeonghoeju and added,.
“When did you enroll my son??”
It was a situation where he should have been angry, but Joybaek calmly asked.
“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..
In a situation where he, the owner of Jinryongjang, was captured, he did not know that his son, the successor, 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 argue with 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..”
“They couldn't have been imprisoned just because they were related to the association..”
“They are accused of falling for their scheme and trying to kidnap the leader's granddaughter..”
“Oh my! Anyway, that's what the shameless Murim Leaguers do..”
Lord Cheonmyeong clicked his tongue and shook his head..
“Is there any way??”
“Jo Jangju does not have a close relationship with the Murim Lord.?”
“Doesn’t the lord care very much for his granddaughter? I don’t think this matter can be resolved through friendship alone..”
“I understand. I'll 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 did not come?’
Since the lord did not come, of course he did not bring his son either..
‘why?’
While I wanted 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. They 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 the son is not coming either..
How should we react??
Joybaek's eyes turned to the young man walking this way..
Since he is a precious person, the leader can send other masters without coming directly. But they only send one young expert like that.?
‘no way? Is this young man an expert enough to deal with the Lord of the Heavenly Order??’
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 Cheon Myeong thought that the sword dance that walked towards them so calmly and proudly was naturally Joy Baek's successor..
Then Joybaek pretended not to know and asked.
“Wasn't it the person Hoeju brought??”
Geomugeuk 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. In Geommugeuk, I felt those hiding around me busily moving to their positions..
“A special guest has arrived, so I'll leave now. Then let's talk.”
The moment when the head of Cheonmyeonghoe naturally bows and stands up from his seat..
“Please sit down, Lord Cheonmyeonghoe..”
“!”
The head of Cheonmyeonghoe quietly stared at the sword dance performance and then sat down again..
“You came here because you knew I was there..”
Cheonmyeonghoeju’s eyes turned to Joy Baek. Joybaek slightly shook his head and said he didn't know..
The head of Cheonmyeonghoe asked:.
“For what reason did the lord send Sohyeop??”
“Here, Jo Jang-ju negotiated. I decided to exchange my son and the stock..”
Joybaek was taken aback because he didn't expect to say it so openly. On the other hand, Lord Cheon Myeong-hoe did not get angry at Joy Baek, probably because he thought it was natural..
Joy Baek vehemently denied it..
“Don't believe it. The leader is trying to drive a wedge between us..”
Joy Baek had to be persistent 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 Jangju too much. It must have been a difficult decision since 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 be fooled by 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..
‘This is how you come out?’
Joy Baek sent a message to his subordinate who was hiding in secret..
-Tell them to proceed to Jin Ha-ryeong’s direction. 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 should I listen to first??”
“I like to start anything off on a good note, so let’s start with the good news..”
“I came alone.”
“I really came alone?”
Lord Cheonmyeonghoe was surprised. I thought the Murim Alliance masters were camped outside..
“So what's the bad news??”
“I came alone.”
As Geommugeuk repeated what he said earlier, the head of Cheonmyeonghoe looked puzzled..
“Why is that bad news? Didn't I say it was good news earlier??”
“It's also bad news. Because there's no one to stop me.”
Although he was overconfident and was talking arrogantly, Lord Cheonmyeonghoe seemed to be in a good mood..
“It's not easy to find young people with this kind of spirit these days. That's not true, Jo Jangju.?”
“you're right. Not only newbies but also experienced seniors are busy taking care of themselves..”
Even though we were arguing like that, I still had doubts..
‘Is he 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 will be able to sort things out somehow..
Gummugeuk must have read that conflict and spoke to Joy Baek..
“Joe Jangju, I think it's time to make it clear which side you're 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. You wouldn't know if there was a Murim lord here, but the person nearby right now was Lord Cheonmyeonghoe..
“What are you talking about? I have never betrayed you, Lord, even for a moment..”
“I can take that as your official position.?”
It was a statement that meant that there was nothing we could do even if we were beheaded..
Joybaek was caught up in conflict. The decision wasn't easy because I didn't expect why the Murim Lord would do this..
At that time, the head of Cheonmyeonghoe smiled and said,.
“I will solve our Cho Jang-ju’s troubles..”
The moment his words fell, there were people appearing 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 victor 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 would not be able to survive even a single blade of grass and would forever become a land of death, so everyone who knew him was afraid of him..
But it wasn't those three masters who completely changed the atmosphere here..
Masked people appeared from all directions. As if ants were being pushed out of an anthill, countless masked people appeared without knowing where they came from..
So the surrounding area was filled with them. From under the fence, on top of the fence, in the yard 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. Is the head of the Cheonmyeonghoe accompanied by such great masters?.
‘It's really amazing. Even if you want to hold on to Cheonmyeonghoeju, you will never be able to..’
Any further worries were pointless..
When Joybaek gave a signal, four people appeared there..
They were each wearing martial arts uniforms with patterns of plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums, and bamboo, and they were the Four Gentlemen, Joy Baek's descendants..
“We'll deal with that little guy ourselves..”
If you want to be forgiven for this incident, you have to be sure to receive it. Someone on your side needs to come forward and remove the author..
Joy Baek spoke frankly to the owner 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 the rain..”
The two people looked at each other and laughed.
Then Geommugeuk said:.
“After you kill me, you will be killed. Because there's no way you can leave a traitor alive..”
“You little bastard! Stop 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 won't survive..”
“I was honestly worried. I'm afraid you'll take my side.”
“what does that mean?”
“I decided to kill you too, but if you take my side, I won't be sorry when I kill you.?”
“Is that even something like that being said in this situation? He really is a crazy guy..”
Joy Baek gave an order to the Four Gentlemen..
“kill it.”
The Four Gentlemen came out into the open space..
Geomgeuk also walked slowly and stood facing them..
There were about a hundred masked masters tightly surrounding the surroundings, and absolute masters called Zhamma Dao, Paeseung, and Daedokno, as well as Jinryongjangju and Cheonmyeonghoeju were watching..
Geommugeuk stared at Cheonmyeonghoeju in that huge mass and spoke calmly..
“For the crime of pretending to be an extremely evil Soma and plundering the lives and wealth of powerful people, and plotting to overthrow the Murim Alliance by marrying the leader's granddaughter, I will summarily punish the head of Cheonmyeonghoe, the head of Jinryong, and everyone else on this spot..”
There was silence for a moment..
But soon someone couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, and from that, the ridicule spread to everyone. No one here was nervous or afraid. Yes, you must be an expert. If you're confident in your skills, you'll say something like that..
However, they had such a force that it would not be surprising if they attacked the Murim Alliance right away. That's why everyone just enjoyed the madness of a child who couldn't tell the difference between heaven and earth..
At the very moment when the murmurs and snickering grew louder, everyone seemed to be told to be quiet..
Woooooooooooooo!
With a deep sound coming from the abyss, the black magic sword began to cry on its own..
