Absolute Regression Episode 340

Episode 340: If you confess, you go to the Murim Alliance, if you resist, you go to the Demon School..

Taejo looked at the sword dance with a surprised face..

What on earth is that young guy??

Murderous extinction is impossible? That's ridiculous.

There is no one you can't kill if you put your mind to it. I actually lived that kind of life.

Those who could win were mocked and killed in front of everyone, and those who could not be killed were killed by stabbing them in the back. If that wasn't possible, he hired a contract to kill someone, or recruited an acquaintance of the person he was going to kill and poisoned them..

What do you say to yourself who has lived such a life? Is it impossible to kill an insect? It was just laughable..

‘This is a bluff. Trying to somehow get my confession out.’

Taejo asked Geommugeuk with a relaxed smile..

“Seeing that the Great Lord of Destruction speaks so highly of Sohyeop, he must be an amazing person. who are you?”

Geommugeuk revealed his identity..

“I am a member of the Heavenly Demon Church..”

Taejo, who was dazed for a moment, burst out laughing. It was the most absurd and unexpected answer I could ever give in my life..

“Yes, you have to have that level of status, so what the Great Demon Lord said is true..”

I said it as if I acknowledged it, but I didn't believe it at all..

“If you do, just ask me one question. What is the leader of the Demonic Cult doing with none other than the Murim Alliance's Demon Destruction Unit, which was created to destroy the Demons??”

Geommugeuk opened the box and looked down at the sleeping child and answered..

“We are carrying out a garbage removal operation..”

For a moment, Taejo’s expression twitched..

Geommugeuk continued talking while putting the child who was lying down comfortably on his back..

“If you ask the martial arts people who is the most evil, most of them will answer us. This is truly unfair. When you come out, there are so many disgusting guys that make you wonder if they are people. This is also the case. Kidnapping someone else's child and selling it for money, what are you trying to do with that child? This is trash that we don’t even do..”

The gaze of the sword dance turned from the child to King Taejo..

“What on earth are you trying to do??”

Asking this after previously calling him trash was the same as calling King Taejo a trash..

Taejo wanted to run right away and cut the guy to pieces..

But it couldn't be done. Since the box containing the child was found in his warehouse, he had to somehow avoid this moment..

He quickly sent a message to Man Hong..

―You're going to have to suffer a bit. I'll get it out as quickly as possible..

―Yes, Moonju..

Manhong was really reluctant. This was an incident where the Great Lord of Destruction Demons attacked him directly, and there was no way to know what would happen if he was dragged away like this. But he could not disobey Munju’s orders. Because the only options were death or being dragged away..

Manhong came out.

“Actually, this is what I did. sorry.”

King Taejo pretended to be surprised and scolded him..

“Is that true??”

“I didn't know it was a kidnapped child. I just asked that the children need it..”

“Holy idiot! I should have looked into it carefully and proceeded with the work..”

“sorry.”

King Taejo also looked sorry..

“They say that even my subordinates didn't know they were kidnapped children. It's also my fault for not looking into it in advance..”

He treated it like a minor mistake that occurred while working..

Suha insists that he didn't know they were kidnapped children, and he insists that he didn't know about this. Now, what are you going to do about this??

Unfortunately for them, Jinha was not the only person they were dealing with..

Geommugeuk raised his hand..

“That's why we need witnesses. Witness here. I heard everything. I even heard you say to call your child when he wakes up..”

Taejo glared at Geommugeuk fiercely, but he was not scared at all, like a crazy person. Yeah, because he's this kind of guy, I guess he was put in the role of witness..

“I have a witness, so I need you to come with me first..”

“I won't go.”

There was a lot of tension between Prince Jinha and King Taejo. Taejo knew very well that the moment he was dragged away, the problem would become a headache..

“You'll have to go.”

“Are you threatening me now??”

“If you are guilty, it will be a threat; if you are not guilty, it will be cooperation..”

Taejo could feel it. To put it nicely, I won't be going back..

“I tried to understand Jin Dae-ju's agreement to save the children and move on, but I can't do it because he's so stubborn. Now, Grand Master Jin knows what the situation is.?”

“tell me.”

“The Murim Alliance attacked Sapa. This could be the start of a civil war..”

I intentionally mentioned the provocative word, “political war.” It was time to push hard..

King Taejo was well aware of Jinhagun’s weaknesses..

“Grand Master Jin has not yet become the official successor, so what will happen if he causes such a big dispute with the Four Meng? For your own sake, you should be careful.?”

At that time, Geommugeuk obnoxiously intervened..

“Are you okay? If a dispute arises with the Murim Alliance,?”

In the end, King Taejo could not stand it anymore and screamed..

“you shut up!”

His composure was broken as he could not stand Geommugeuk's scolding. Whenever I tried to do something, the Mac next to me was suddenly cut off..

Jinha laughed inwardly at the sight of him bursting out in anger. Yeah, I'm angry. i know very well.

King Taejo must have thought that words would not be enough and shouted to the outside..

“Come in.”

Then the Yugeommun soldiers waiting outside rushed in..

The Destroyers were not at all afraid and faced them with their swords pointed. The number of Yugeommun warriors who came was greater than expected. Moreover, the momentum was not normal. This thought suddenly occurred to me.

‘It is said that Yu Geommun has so many masters.?’

This was the reason why King Taejo was able to relax. At least I was confident that I wouldn't be dragged away from this place..

“If you were to destroy us, you would know that we would tremble.?”

These weren't the only ones. The two people whom King Taejo trusted decisively entered last. They were two old men in distinctive clothes..

Jinha recognized them at a glance..

“Blue and White Two Swords)!”

As you can see from the star, they were wearing blue and white military uniforms. The shoes and scabbard were also blue for one person and white for the other..

They were notorious experts in Sapa. If the squad of annihilators are young, up-and-coming masters, they are the worn-out Noh Kang-ho..

The momentum of the blue and white sword overwhelmed the warriors of the Destruction Demon Army. It seemed like it would be a difficult fight if they and the Yugeommun masters joined forces..

“I didn't know you were at Yugyeommun..”

King Taejo received Jinhagun’s words as a reprimand..

“you? The two seniors were people who roamed the martial arts world even before Jin Daeju was born. Be polite.”

He seemed to want to be treated as a senior member of the martial arts group by Jinha, but Jinha's reaction was cold. I had no intention of respecting those infamous people..

Two old men were talking as if everyone was listening..

“The Murim Lord was a few years younger than us.?”

“I think I was three or four years younger..”

“That person didn't have an average personality since he was young..”

“How could I have known that he would become a Murim lord like this??”

Jinha's eyes turned cold when he mentioned his grandfather in this way, even though he may have never actually met him..

“You are not the kind of person to talk about lightly..”

Then Baekgeom smiled and spoke in a soft tone..

“That's right. He is someone who deserves respect. I didn't mean to insult your grandfather. Just like that, we don't want to be insulted either. We'll take care of what happened here and let you know, so just leave..”

“What kind of disrespect is this for you, who can be said to be the face of the Murim League, to come to Yugeommun, which continues the orthodoxy of Sapa??”

“If you do this, the leader will also be in trouble..”

“Look, we are people who have no regrets about life anymore. Who has more to lose if you and we fight??”

The two old men took turns frantically attacking Jinha County..

Although there were many words that were offensive, Jinhagun could not treat them carelessly because they were veterans who were recognized by the Safa people..

Of course, one person was an exception..

“Well, you probably have more to lose.”

The person who intervened was Geommugeuk. Jin Ha-gun is still too young to deal with the old men of Sapa..

“How greedy would you have been to haunt a warehouse full of this desire? You wash your face elegantly with gold powder and live like the old story in the folding screen. Why are you so greedy that you tear the screen apart and come out??”

The two people's expressions turned cold, but Geomugeuk continued what he was saying..

“The things you've collected all your life are probably piled up somewhere. Perhaps they didn't even tell each other where and how much they had hidden because they didn't trust each other? That's right?”

The two people's faces turned red..

Cheonggeom asked, openly showing his intent to kill himself..

“Who is that bratless guy??”

Then Taejo smiled and said.

“He said he was the leader of the Demonic Cult..”

When Cheongbaekyigeom looked surprised, King Taejo quickly said:.

“This is crazy nonsense.”

Only then did Blue White Sword understand the situation. Could any normal person mock themselves like this??

“That guy was hired by the Demon Lord to be a witness in order to convict me..”

King Taejo quickly sent a telegram..

―Please just get rid of that guy..

He was a thorn in my eyes, but thankfully he committed this rudeness. Now there was enough reason to kill him..

As the blue and white sword walked forward, the warriors of the Destruction Demon Corps all blocked its path..

Baekgeom said to Jinhagun.

“As you heard, that guy was rude to us. Regardless of Jeongsama, there are laws of martial arts that must be observed as a warrior. Even if you look at them, you can't just ignore them, right??”

Then Geommugeuk smiled and said.

“Open the way. As they said earlier, let's check whether there really are no regrets in life..”

When the death squad looked at Jinhagun, he glanced at the sword dance..

Even in this situation, it was a sword dance performance full of leisure. Yes, at first glance, he looks absolutely crazy. But once you get to know him, you will know. How thoroughly was that margin calculated?.

“open the way.”

At Jinhagun's command, the destruction squad split to the left and right to create a path..

The blue and white sword walked slowly along the path. They were not afraid at all as they walked along the road with the destruction bands on their left and right..

As they were walking like that, they stopped for a moment..

Blue Sword looked down at his hands. His hands were shaking convulsively..

Baekgeom looked at him with a surprised face..

“why but?”

Cheonggeom shook his head. This was the first time my hands suddenly trembled like this..

This time, Cheonggeom was surprised. Baekgeom’s cheeks were trembling..

“why are you?”

Baekgeom's entire body, not just his face, began to tremble. It was the same with the blue sword. My legs started shaking. This is the first time I've ever experienced something like this since I went to Murim..

―Is it poison??

―It's not poison.

―Then what is it?

The eyes of the two people who were exchanging messages turned to the sword dance..

Geommugeuk looked at the child in the box, then raised his head and looked at the two people..

The moment the eyes met the sword dance, Cheongbaek and the sword knew..

‘Because of the author.’

It was not the prayer of the abyss that sword dances normally display..

The energy that the sword dance gave off to the two people was deadly. The clear will to kill you shows that this road now opened by the Destruction Demon Corps is the road to hell..

“What should I do? without coming.”

Blue White Sword swallowed his saliva..

Taejo, who was watching, was curious. Because the deadly force was directed only at the Blue and White Sword, King Taejo did not know why the two men stopped walking..

“Why are you doing this, senior?.”

The person who answered Taejo’s question was Geommugeuk..

“Your precious seniors, you are shaking..”

I didn't know what was going on, but I was sure there was a problem. It was the moment when the angry Blue and White Sword should have come out, but it didn't come out..

Geommugeuk took a step towards the two people..

Pressed by that momentum, the blue and white sword retreated back at the same time..

“They say they have no regrets about life anymore?”

Geommugeuk’s eyes sank fearfully. Qingbai Yigeom did not dare to look into those eyes and lowered his head..

Jinha could tell from that look..

‘In the meantime, my skills have improved again.!’

The sword dance performance was completely overwhelming the Cheongbaekyi sword, the veteran expert of the Four Schools..

He looked different from when we last met. It felt like if I chased one step, I was ten steps further away..

“Who is Daehyup??”

From Baekgeom's mouth, the words came out, not small cooperatives, but large cooperatives..

“That person told me earlier?”

Baekgeom, startled, quickly turned to Taejo and asked:.

“Is this person really the leader of the Demonic Cult??”

Taejo responded in surprise..

“no. what are you talking about…….”

For a moment, King Taejo was startled and looked at the sword dance..

“Really the leader of the Demonic Cult?”

“I told you earlier, right? I am the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church..”

Taejo’s voice suddenly trembled..

“Why is the Demonic Cult leader here??”

“Did I mention that too? They're clearing out trash..”

Cheongbaekyigeom reprimanded King Taejo..

“Did they push us to the leader of the Demonic Cult??”

“I didn't know either.”

The blue and white swords looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then stepped back..

“There seems to have been a misunderstanding, so please understand..”

Not only did the opponent's skills overwhelm them, but they also knew that if they touched the Demonic Cult's leader by mistake, they would not die gracefully. Now was not the time to think about pride..

King Taejo was finally able to understand what Jinha had said..

What does it mean to say that it cannot be refuted, that it cannot be insisted upon, and that murder and destruction are impossible?.

“I heard it myself. i am a witness.”

I could also tell while listening to the resounding declaration of the sword dance. What it means is that everyone will believe that except you..

The Demonic Cult's small sect master heard it. Who would dare refute it? In a situation where even the blue and white sword that came forward for him lowered his tail and retreated.

Geommugeuk told him.

“If you confess, you will be taken to the Murim Alliance, and if you persist until the end, you will be taken to the main school. The choice is yours.”

Taejo’s heart sank. Are you being taken to the Heavenly Demon Church rather than the Murim Alliance? Even a conversation with the Murim Alliance would work, but if they were taken to the Demonic Cult, it would be the end. You can tell just by looking at Sogyoju. That guy who hangs out with the Great Lord of Destruction Demons and shouts about eliminating trash is a crazy person. I can't be dragged into a den of madmen..

“They are members of the Heavenly Demon Church and the Murim Alliance, but I am just a member of a sect..”

“You scared us too much earlier to call us just a sect.?”

“A scared dog is bound to bark loudly..”

He was so desperate that he had to say this. And this was the only way to survive.

“We request that this matter be handled under the mediation of the Apostolic Alliance..”

Sa Do-maeng will never give up on himself and Yu Geom-mun. Because he has contributed so far. I believed that he would definitely save me..

“I think that's a fair way to handle things. If things continue like this, I feel so unfair. There will be a rumor in Gangho that we were framed..”

“If the Apostolic Association admits your sins,?”

“At that time, I will also admit it clearly..”

Geommugeuk, who was quietly staring at King Taejo, nodded willingly, no matter what he was thinking..

“Okay, call me. Let's all three get together and find out who the real villain is..”
