Chapter 268
Episode 268: Everyone didn’t know much.
Even when asked to dance, Seo Cheong did not back down and stood there..
He was a person who lived by his pride and died by his pride. I didn't want to kneel with them when Seokpung was watching and other guys were watching..
Geommugeuk returned exactly what Seo Cheong had said when they first met..
“Do you have strong self-esteem? Well, pride is life for a warrior..”
The moment Seo Cheong heard those words, his heart surged. The image of myself stabbing and killing the sword dance in front of me with my sword came to mind. I imagined cutting down all the charging demons. It was thrilling just to think of him standing tall, covered in blood, while everyone was amazed and amazed..
I don't like those clear and deep eyes in Geommugeuk that seem to transparently look into one's own desires..
“How dare I share a sword with the Little Cult leader of the Demonic Cult??”
No matter how wounded his pride was, he was not foolish enough to attack the small sect leader of the Demonic Cult..
“When someone begged like this, did you listen to his request??”
At first I wondered what that meant. But soon Seo Cheong remembered. Not long ago, the guy who smashed it with a broom begged for the same thing. He says he is no match for him. Please forgive me just once.
“Why are you doing this to me??”
“The reason is, didn’t that friend tell you everything earlier??”
“Everything he says is a lie!”
Then Seokpung, who was kneeling, shouted.
“I know where they buried the body..”
Seo Qing gritted his teeth as he saw him rushing to die with him..
“That idiot!”
The two men glared at each other as if they were going to kill each other..
Seo Cheong’s eyes turned to the sword dance again..
“He was just an unimportant person. He was a low-ranking military officer and a passerby. I will compensate you for everything..”
Geommugeuk opened his airways and unleashed his demonic energy..
At that moment, Seo Cheong fell into the sea water of unknown depth..
Seo Cheong lost his breath due to the pressure that instantly tightened his entire body..
I tried to resist, but it was no use. The techniques I had learned from a young age, the techniques of swordsmanship, the methods of controlling my mind, none of them were of any use..
A scream came from his mouth. I felt like I was going to be crushed to death or suffocated to death like this..
‘You bastard! Why are you doing this to me?! You would have killed all kinds of things too.!’
Seocheng couldn't stand it and shouted..
“please stop!”
Then, like a lie, the demonic energy that had been weighing him down disappeared..
Seo Cheong opened his tightly closed eyes. I could see the bridge of the sword dance in front of me. While holding on to the demonic force, he unconsciously fell to his knees..
He suddenly got up, his face red with shame..
To be honest, Seo Cheong couldn’t understand. No, it was unfair. Other people might not know this, but if you're the head of a Demonic Cult, shouldn't you be more understanding of yourself? It would be more insignificant things to him..
“I said I would compensate you. I will compensate your family with money they will never touch in their lifetime. Then their deaths won't be more valuable.?”
Geommugeuk looked at him and smiled..
Since he didn't know what kind of person Geomugeuk was, Seo Cheong naturally misunderstood the smile. He did not know that his fate had already been decided by death or by pain greater than death..
‘Yeah, this is it. No matter how demonic it is, it can't touch our Cheonhwamun Gate..’
There was something my father once said. Our Cheonhwamun is a proud sect that is desired by the Demonic Cult, the Sado Alliance, and even the Murim Alliance..
“call my father.”
“Yeah, I'll call you.”
Seo Cheong was relieved by the easy answer of the sword dance..
‘Okay, I'm fine. It's no big deal. Killing a few of those insignificant things won't do anything to me. Because the Mine guy was also a low-level soldier..’
Seo Cheong shook off his fear, feeling truly fortunate that he did not kill an important person. As always, as long as my father came, everything would be resolved..
Next, Geommugeuk approached Seokpung..
Seokpung, who was sitting on his knees, trembled in fear as Geommugeuk approached. He was confused. Did this situation arise because of Su Qiaoju, or was it because of Su Qiaoju that the crisis that almost killed Seo Qing was overcome? I couldn't figure out what was what..
“You can go and state exactly what you said earlier..”
Then Seokpung’s gaze turned to Seo Cheong, who was standing in front of him..
The sword dance drove a wedge into Seokpung’s heart..
“Yes, he might be afraid of Cheonhwamun and retract his statement. Now, who should I be afraid of from then on??”
Geommugeuk slowly clenched his fist in front of his face..
The moment your fist is clenched!
Kwakwang!
I heard thunder from my fist.
“Wow!”
Seokpung was distraught at the sound of thunder that exploded in front of him. It was a real thunder sound. Thunder sounds from your fist? If you get hit by that fist, your whole body will turn to dust..
“No, I will tell you everything honestly. There are more evil deeds he has committed..”
He thought that if he told all of Seocheong's sins, he would be able to escape safely. They buried the bodies together and almost maimed the young man who worked here by unilaterally beating him up. This kind of thing is not even considered a sin. The sword dance performance did not necessarily break that illusion..
“also. You seemed smart from the first time I saw you.”
Seo Cheong, who was watching this, snorted..
‘Even so, I can't touch it. If I could have touched it, I would have already..’
Places like Soya Room are places where you can scare and harass people. The sound of thunder made him more confident..
When Geommugeuk gave a signal, the demons of the Honam region came and took out Seocheong, Seokpung, and the others who were there after suppressing Naegong..
Seo Cheong shook off the hands of the warriors who tried to grab his arms..
“I will walk on my own feet!”
Seo Cheong was confident until the end..
Because he was so confident, the expressions of the guys who were being dragged along with him also relaxed somewhat. I was so scared, but when I was dragged away without anyone getting hurt, I thought, 'This isn't a big deal, is it?' they knew nothing.
In the empty banquet hall, only the sword dance and escort dancers remained..
Jeokyeon said to Geommugeuk.
“You solved it without lifting a finger..”
“Did I tell you? This isn't a big deal.”
“I thought you were going to destroy Seocheong by fighting..”
“My father will come to see me, so will I write it??”
The sword dance was thinking of the two fathers at this moment..
This incident begins with Hae-jin's father, who was assaulted here, and ends with Seo-cheong's father, who assaulted him..
“Let's see how this father turns out..”
* * *
Lord Seo Baek-jung of Cheonhwamun was in the middle of a meeting..
With intense eyes and a cold impression, he was a man of great standing who raised Cheonhwamun, which was just a small sect in Honam, into the best sect in Honam. He had worked only for success his entire life, and today he was working hard to make Cheonhwamun even stronger..
At that time, Yu Maeng (柳孟), a member of the Sioux tribe, hurriedly came in and reported to Jeon Eum..
―Confucius was captured by the Honam branch of the Heavenly Demon Church..
Seo Baek-jung was not shaken by Yu Meng's report..
―wait until the meeting is over.
Seo Baek-jung remained calm even after reporting that his son had been captured. He finished his meeting. There was no change in his emotions, so much so that it was hard to believe that he had received Yu Maeng's report..
After the meeting was over and everyone who was with him had been dismissed, he finally asked:.
“Did you get caught by Soju??”
“Yes, I say so..”
Rumors were spreading throughout the Honam region that Yeo So-gwang had died and that the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church was in Jidan..
“Did you kidnap me because you knew it was my child??”
“yes.”
For a moment, an expression of displeasure that could not be hidden flashed across Seo Baek-jung’s eyes..
“What happened?”
Yu Meng reported carefully..
“It looks like Confucius committed murder..”
Seo Baek-jung was not surprised at all. It was a reaction I couldn't tell if he knew about it in advance or if he just didn't care..
“Who did you kill??”
“There are several, but the problem is that they include Muindo in the Magyo Honam region..”
“stolid!”
It wasn't that I was stupid for killing him. It was anger over killing him and not being able to properly clean up after him..
“I don't think it will be easy to let this incident go as it has been revealed in front of everyone..”
“But why were you captured by the demonic cult??”
“Sogyoju was there..”
“Did my child invite me??”
“It hasn't been confirmed up to that point. What has been confirmed is that there was a fight at the banquet with the mason of Soyabang, and in the process, the mason apparently leaked everything..”
Yu Maeng is always surprised by Seo Baek-jung's composure. Even when his child was captured by a demonic cult, he did not react emotionally. He could have shown his anger and murderousness toward Seokpung, but he doesn't show it at all..
And what was even more surprising was that, buried in this equanimity, he always remembered and retaliated against things that seemed likely to be forgotten. Once this incident is over, Seokpung will never be safe..
“Get the carriage ready.”
* * *
“Let's meet Mr. Sogyoju..”
Seo Baek-jung politely greeted Geommugeuk..
“Nice to meet you, Moonju..”
Seo Baek-jung was secretly surprised by the appearance of the sword dance. First of all, I was surprised by the fact that she was so young, and I was also surprised by her good looks that would never go out of style no matter where she was shown..
“I didn't know that Master So was so handsome..”
“Fortunately, I don't take after my father, so I hear that kind of thing often..”
When the Heavenly Demon was mentioned, Seo Baek-jung became nervous..
“If the leader hears this, he will be disappointed..”
“In fact, it would be easier to live if you were like your father. Our master wouldn't be able to treat me this comfortably..”
“I guess I was rude at first meeting..”
“No, don't misunderstand. I like comfortable things.”
Geommugeuk smiled brightly..
Seo Baek-jung felt deep down that So Ji-ju was not an easy person. If you say something like that before a conversation, the other person is bound to feel uncomfortable, and he or she can naturally take the lead in the conversation and take the upper hand..
‘It's pretty good.’
Well, no matter how young you are, you shouldn't take it easy on the leader of the Demonic Cult..
“I heard that my son had an accident..”
“I should have met our Lord Moon for something better..”
“It's my fault. I was so busy with work that I couldn't educate my children properly..”
Seo Baek-jung stood up from his seat and politely handed over his hand..
It was an apology that I hoped would get up with me and tell me that it was okay and that I could do that when I was young, but Geomugeuk just sat there. even said this.
“That's right.”
Seo Baek-jung bowed his head politely again..
‘Look at this guy.’
I felt embarrassed, but his tone became more polite..
“As you know, our Cheonhwamun is the best sect in Honam. The number of mundos is the largest, and the number of masters is also the highest..”
After showing off his power like that, he apologized again..
“As a result, I was unable to take care of my family. Please understand and be kind to me..”
“I would like that too, but the sin I committed is so great that it is difficult..”
“There will be many things you can do for your school in this text. I will pay for my sins for the rest of my life by doing this..”
I said it back, but it meant giving me money. Most of the serious problems I've had in my life so far have been solved with money and swords, so this time I'm trying to solve them with money as well. Because you can't fight the Demonic Cult leader with a sword..
‘After all, isn’t money what you want? How much do you want? Two hundred thousand nyang? 300,000 nyang?’
Then Geomgeuk said something unexpected..
“I understand that you did a lot of that work with Yeo Danju..”
Seo Baek-jung was startled when the dead Yeo So-gwang was mentioned..
‘It was this.’
Now Seo Baek-jung knew. Could it be that the only person in the world who has committed a crime is his own child? Nevertheless, the reason he had to arrest his son was because of pressure to reveal what happened with Yeo So-gwang..
‘I mean spit out millions of nyang, not 100,000 nyang or 200,000 nyang.!’
He did not know the intention of the sword dance. Even if I told you, it was something I couldn't understand. It started for a child carrying alcohol to a banquet hall, and the work related to Yeo So-gwang is an example to establish discipline in the Heavenly Demon Church. Even if you tell me, I will suspect that there is another intention..
“Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean..”
“When this situation arises,…….”
Geommugeuk smiled brightly and added,.
“Everyone didn't know much.”
The gazes of two people intertwined in the air..
Seo Baek-jung realized that this was not a problem that could be solved this way. Because the other person wanted something that he couldn't give..
“I took up too much of a busy person's time. I'll leave today.”
Seo Baek-jung politely bowed his hand and left the room..
The enemy came to the place where he left..
Geommugeuk said to Jeokyeon.
“That guy from Seocheong, I should have beaten him to pieces..”
“What do you mean??”
“You leave without even seeing your son’s face.?”
“Isn't that because you're angry??”
Geommugeuk got up from his seat and walked to the window..
“no. That's because I didn't come for my son..”
No matter how angry or hateful you are, if you have been captured by a demonic cult, you should at least go and see his face to see if he is hurt anywhere..
But right now, Seo Baek-jung is preoccupied with how he will deal with me from now on. You guys aren't even looking at each other. It's so damn bad you're not watching..
I saw Seo Baek-jung walking in the distance..
“My fight would have been harder if I had come as a father..”
At that time, Seo Baek-jung stopped for a moment and looked back..
Geommugeuk waved his hand from the window. Seo Baek-jung bowed his head politely and turned around..
“I should have met my son instead of this meaningless greeting..”
Whether you scold them, beat them up, or promise to save them. You should have met your son.
Actually, if they were that rich, this might not have happened in the first place..
* * *
Late at night, Seo Baek-jung was sitting alone by the river and fishing..
Footsteps were heard through the thick fog..
Jump and run.
Someone approached with a steady pace, making a sound as if they would walk like this no matter what happened in the world..
A man appeared through the fog.
Although I couldn't see his face because he was wearing a hat, he was a man who gave me a strange feeling..
Seo Baek-jung said while looking at the lake where the fishing rod was hanging..
“My son was kidnapped by the leader of the Demonic Cult..”
The word ‘ma-gyo’ came out, and the word ‘so-gyo-ju’ came out. Even though the two words combined became the most dangerous words in the martial arts world, the man wearing a hat answered without hesitation..
“we'll solve it.”
The man disappeared into the fog, making the same footsteps as when he came..
