Chapter 420
Episode 420: I'm the leader of the Demonic Cult, so I should be scared..
As the drinking party was coming to an end, Geommugeuk was acting like an old friend with Yang Seok..
“Confucius Yang, come with me to the central plain..”
“I'm good. Please broaden my narrow horizons..”
If I drank just a little more, I felt like I was going to have a good time..
Throughout the drinking session, Hanseol tried to faithfully fulfill his role. I sympathize with Yang Seok and listen to his side from time to time. It was an act of trying to understand him, but in the end it was an opportunity to learn about myself..
I was this kind of person.
Like this, I can say things I don't like, I don't tremble even when I lie, and in the meantime, I look into what Geommugeuk's intentions are for saying such things. I thought he was a very cold person, but I found out he had a different side..
Until now, she had been alone and looking into herself. Of course, I came to the conclusion myself..
I am this kind of person.
But the conclusion I reached then and the conclusion I came to today were clearly different..
It occurred to me that perhaps getting to know oneself is not a conclusion reached by looking alone in the mirror. Isn't that the moment when you discover your true self, what kind of person you are among people??
As Hanseol was thinking that, his eyes met with Geomgeuk..
“Sogongju, please go back now..”
“What about Sogyoju??”
“I'm going to drink all night long with Yang Confucius..”
The moment Yang Seok heard those words, he was overcome by the spirit of sword dance..
‘It's really not normal.’
Even the lord of the ice palace is with him now, so what on earth can he believe in and drink here alone without any attendant? What if it's poisoned? What if I sneak attack you when you're drunk? Doesn’t that mean you have the confidence to handle it all??
‘Yes, it should be like this. It has to be like this so I can cut it all down with this knife..’
Yang Seok said politely..
“I drank a lot today, how about drinking again next time??”
Yang Seok, who tried to restrain himself, was also very drunk. Although he thought he wasn't drunk, when Han Seol saw him, he was drunk. He just didn't realize that he was that drunk because he was so excited about being with the Demonic Cult leader..
“next time? It's just beginning?”
Yang Seok wanted to shout at the sword dance that expressed his regret. Are you drunk??
“I will prepare another place for you..”
“Ah, this is unfortunate. Okay, see you again soon..”
Geommugeuk, who was about to say goodbye and leave, turned around and said.
“Oh, and if you find any extreme delays, be sure to contact me..”
“Of course.”
Geommugeuk left the North Blood Gate with Han Seol..
The sword dance, which had been laughing and chatting lightly while drinking, had returned to its calm appearance as if it had never been like that before..
“I was really planning on drinking all night.?”
Geommugeuk shook his head in response to Hanseol’s question..
“Could that be possible? Drinking alcohol is also fun when you drink it with good people. I got scolded because I was frustrated..”
I thought so. I asked because you were so good at acting..
“I never meant to send you alone..”
“Really?”
“I don't know how the other person will react in this situation, so how can I leave you alone? From now on, you must never move alone. Even Ian at the Ice Palace told me to stay close to Mr. Chwima..”
Geommugeuk did not let down his guard until this incident was over. You have to be more nervous because your opponent is a blood king..
“In the North Sea, worrying about the daughter of the owner of the North Sea Ice Palace?.”
“The lord of the North Sea Ice Palace even dressed his daughter in guard armor..”
I couldn't refute those words..
Anyway, I felt reassured walking along with the sword dance..
Today, I clearly saw from the side how Geommugeuk cooked Yangseok. It's not important that I deceived him. The important thing is to make people believe that Yang Seok is using sword dance..
Han Seol stopped walking. The sword dance stopped after her..
The gazes of two people were intertwined under the moonlight..
“The more I look at you, the scarier I get.”
I didn't say this as a joke.
I never thought I would say something like this to someone. Even if he felt that fear, he was the type to hide that feeling..
I don't know why, but I became honest with Geommugeuk..
Geommugeuk said with a smile.
“Of course you shouldn't be scared, right? I'm the leader of the Demonic Cult..”
Geommugeuk continued as he saw a faint smile forming on Hanseol's lips..
“You should be scared. Think of the enemy we face. To find the constitution they wanted, they gathered people, experimented with them, and then killed them. These are people who do not hesitate to use self-destruction techniques and even kill their own relatives. If you aren't scared, how can you deal with people like that??”
Even while laughing, talking, and drinking, this person was thinking like that. Thinking like that, Hanseol realized that the sword dance was more scary than the enemy. Because I thought it would be better to deal with such enemies rather than a sword dance..
“Will he contact me if he finds the extreme delay??”
Then Geommugeuk shook his head..
“I will never contact you. You will think that extreme retardation is the only way to protect yourself. There may be an expectation that it may make you stronger..”
“Then why did you talk about extreme retardation again and again??”
“That's because it's important to us too..”
The sword dance was anticipating how Yang Seok would move..
“His desire to survive will lead us to extreme retardation..”
* * *
Early the next morning, Yang Seok headed to Munjujeon..
Although I suffered from a hangover from too much drinking, I was nervous at the thought of meeting my father..
‘Extreme delays must be taken away..’
I don't know why my father wants extreme retardation so desperately, but he must secure it first. It should not be handed over to Geommugeuk. Extreme delay will be your secret weapon to protect yourself..
Yang Seok entered Munjujeon..
My father was sitting in the royal palace in front of me..
My heart was pounding with tension I had never felt before. I've never entered this place with this in mind..
“Did you sleep well all night??”
Yang Seok walked up to the Taesa and bowed politely..
When I saw my father, all kinds of thoughts came to mind and my mouth started itching..
‘Have you really decided on a successor??’
I wanted to ask. Why on earth did you abandon your son and make him your successor?.
This is something that should be asked in the first place. How could you have misunderstood me like that? I had to get yelled at..
But my father and I are not in a relationship to have such conversations..
If an incident breaks out and ruins a relationship, it may not be because of the incident. I think it depends on what kind of relationship you had until the incident occurred, at least in this case it was like that..
“Yesterday, Maqiao Xiaoqiao and Xiaogongju came to visit and drank until late..”
Of course, it was the Northern Blood Lord who knew that fact..
To be honest, I wasn't very happy with Geommugeuk's visit. Now, in just one day, the extreme delay will arrive at Bukhyeolmun. After tomorrow, not only your own fate but also the fate of the North Sea will change. After tomorrow.
“How was it??”
“As rumored, he was an extraordinary person..”
“The reason I came?”
Yang Seok did not speak honestly..
“He told a story about Elder Seo. He seemed suspicious that it had something to do with us..”
Bukhyeolmunju actually welcomed Seonak’s death. The two people holding hands were himself and Seonak. Now that Xu Luo is dead, his importance has increased even more..
Like Saeoe Moorim, Beihae Moorim is also a very conservative place..
It is several times more difficult for someone new to establish themselves without the help of existing forces than in the midfield. Moreover, there was no way the Demonic Cult or the Murim Alliance would just sit by and watch the new power grow. Therefore, Seonak's death was an opportunity for Bukhyeolmunju..
Yang Seok carefully asked the Northern Blood Lord..
“By the way, did you find the extreme delay??”
“Not yet.”
At this moment, Yang Shu was greatly disappointed in two points..
First of all, my father lied. He already knew that his father had discovered the extremist and was escorting him here..
The second thing is that the lie was said without any hesitation. That was more disappointing than lying to myself..
‘Don't blame me later.’
Yang Seok decided that his father had abandoned him. It was the moment when the tower of disbelief that the sword dance performance had built up late into the night was completed yesterday..
Thanks to that, Yang Seok actually felt relieved. Without thinking about it too complicated, all that was left to do was fight and survive..
“As much as possible, don't get entangled with the leader. There is nothing good about being tangled up with him..”
“I'll keep that in mind.”
Yang Seok bowed politely and turned around to leave..
My father should have been honest today. Extreme delays are coming, so we must make every effort. I'm telling you now that extreme retardation will be used for one purpose or another. Sorry for telling you late..
‘It shouldn't have been done to me, father..’
In this way, Yang Seok gradually built up a justification for his future betrayal..
* * *
The next day, a carriage was driving toward Bukhyeolmun Gate..
Two warriors followed on horseback around the carriage driven by the coachman with cold eyes. They ran without stopping, switching horses from time to time. Now the destination, Bukhyeolmun, is less than a hundred miles away..
The running carriage slowed down. A tree had fallen and was blocking the road..
The carriage slowly stopped and the three warriors, including the driver, looked around nervously..
Master Ma Buseok, the person in charge of this convoy, warned the two soldiers..
“Prepare for a sneak attack.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment, despite preparing for a sneak attack, an unavoidable attack came. A man hiding behind a rock on the other side suddenly got up and made a surprise attack..
The two warriors were unable to avoid the rapid attack and turned over and fell down..
The person who carried out the surprise attack was Yang Seok. What he held in his hand was the Geumyongamgi Chilbopilsal (七步必殺), which was banned from use in martial arts. It was a memorized technique known to be sure to kill the opponent if used within seven steps..
Before I knew it, the warrior on the coach was rushing toward Yang Seok and throwing his sword..
Yang Seok, who was delayed in memorizing the memorization, fought back with a sword..
A fight broke out between the two. Ma Buseok's warrior was an expert, but he was not good enough to be the successor to the Northern Blood Gate..
When less than twenty moves had passed, Mu-in realized that he could not defeat Yang Seok. He had no hesitation in his final decision..
The warrior’s face turned red. In the midst of the fight, Yang Seok was greatly embarrassed when he tried to use a suicide ball right in front of his nose..
Should I avoid it or block it? The very moment I hesitated!
Powok!
The warrior's face was shattered and he fell down. Before he could use his self-destruction attack, someone killed him with a powerful attack..
Yang-seok, surprised, looked back and saw Ha-gyeol standing there..
“you!”
Yang Seok was startled. I didn't know he would appear here..
“Now I finally played my role as an escort properly..”
However, it was not for Yang Seok that Ha-gyeol killed the subordinate who was trying to commit suicide. This was because Yang Seok should not be killed yet. If I wanted to continue using the Northern Blood Moon Lord, I had to keep my son, who would be my weak point, alive..
“How did you get here??”
“So, am I not the guardian of Confucius Yang? I have to go where Confucius goes..”
“Don't talk nonsense!”
Now the smile has disappeared from Ha-gyeol's face..
“Confucius Yang, how did you know that the carriage was coming this way??”
“That's what I'm asking.”
Yang Seok could tell..
‘The dead are his minions..’
Otherwise, Ha-gyeol would never have appeared here. You're using someone who uses self-destruction as your minion? Who the hell are you??
On the other hand, Ha-gyeol's question was this. How did Yang Seok find out about this place?.
An escort mission was urgently issued upon hearing the news that the extreme body had been found, but the three people who died were still people Ha-gyeol trusted..
They used them to escort extremely secret people, and they found out that they were passing through this place at this time..
Ha-gyeol suspected that there might be a traitor inside..
However, Yang Seok found out the carriage's path in an unexpected way..
“As you know, my brother and I have been in charge of finding extremophiles for a long time. The main task at that time was to create the shortest transport route from various parts of Central Plains to the North Sea..”
Because we had to gather people and bring them to the North Sea to experiment. Experiment, throw away, experiment again. In fact, the experiment was completed within a few days, but it took too long to bring him in..
“This time, people used your people, but they used the transport route we created. While running along the route we created, we changed horses at the stables prepared in each region..”
Only then did I know what Hagyeol was. Through the records of changing horses, we found out which route they were coming from. I used it because I had to arrive as early as possible, but I didn't expect you to notice that..
“You're smarter than you think.”
“If I were smart, I would have gotten rid of you a long time ago..”
Ha-gyeol laughed as if it was funny. That's something even your father couldn't do..
“Confucius Yang will receive a heavy reprimand from Lord Wen for this incident..”
Yang Seok pointed his sword and said.
“You would be the one who did this.”
I thought it went well. Ha-gyeol and these convoy drones are fighting and are trying to treat it as two sides defeating each other. Of course, I thought that way because I didn't know about Ha-gyeol's hidden martial arts skills..
“Before that, let's see who has extreme retardation..”
As Yang-seok tried to walk towards the carriage, Ha-gyeol softly warned him..
“If you open that door, you will die by my hands..”
A cold energy flowed from Ha-gyeol’s body..
Yang Seok also turned to him, praying. When Ha-gyeol began to reveal his true self that he had been hiding, his prayer was amazing..
Even though he had not even revealed half of his prayers yet, Yang Seok was overwhelmed. Well, if I was an ordinary guy, my father wouldn't have chosen me..
Yang Seok, surprised by his skills, once again realized that his father had abandoned him..
‘This person must die at the hands of the leader..’
Should I throw away my sword now? Considering that you saved him earlier, it doesn't seem like he'll kill you..
That was the time when the two people faced each other..
The fog began to thicken around the two. I thought it happened occasionally in the early hours..
Ha-gyeol smelled the scent in the fog..
“smell of alcohol?”
Yang Seok also smelled the smell of alcohol in the fog. Ha-gyeol realized that it was a cycle and not a fog and shouted..
“Every taste!”
Ha-gyeol's eyes turned to the carriage. Before I knew it, the carriage was enveloped in fog..
“guard the carriage!”
At Ha-gyeol's shout, Yang-seok drew his sword and rushed to the carriage..
That was right then..
Hehehe.
The fog that enveloped the carriage dispersed and disappeared with the wind that blew..
Yang Seok carefully opened the carriage door with his sword pointed at him. Yang Seok's heart sank as he checked inside. There was a person sitting leaning on a chair, and it was someone I never expected..
Geommugeuk looked at Yang Seok and said..
“I told you to contact me when you find it.?”
