Chapter 381 – Chapter 77 (1)

‘What is that guy?’

Elder In, who saw Jincheon, had this question in his mind without realizing it.

It wasn’t a question about the identity of the other person or anything like that.

His question was more substantive than that.

‘I don’t feel any energy…’

Just looking at the strength he showed when killing Yeomma, it was clear that he easily crossed the Hwagyeong.

In fact, Yeomma was a master of Hwagyeong, so this calculation was natural because he killed him easily.

But as he killed Yeomma, he couldn’t feel any energy.

In addition, despite the fact that it is full of gaps while relaxing after killing Yeomma,

‘My instincts are telling me. If you aim for that gap and enter, you will die… !’

You can’t feel any energy from the master who killed the master of Hwagyeong, and his instinct says that he will die if he attacks even though it is full of gaps.

If he had a belligerent personality like Elder Yin, he would attack him first, but Elder Yin focused only on the tasks assigned to him.

For this reason, he decided that it would be more efficient to secure a retreat, thinking that he could kill Shim Gyeong-seo even if he did not step forward.

‘We must retreat. Previously…’

“What are you doing! Attack him!”
“Yes, yes!”
“Let’s avenge Yeomma!”

When Elder In gave orders to his men, they rushed to attack Jincheon along with the vengeful Demon Cultists.

‘Now!’

Elder Yin bought very little time, but he had no doubt that in that time he could kill his target.

Squeak-

Elder In, who disappeared as if he was sinking to the floor, moved into the shadow of Shim Gyeong-seo, and in an instant, an arm with a sword rose up and shot toward his abdomen.

Bang! Suwook!

“It’s a pretty fun martial art.”

But isn’t Jincheon, who arrived by Shim Gyeong-seo’s side, grabbing Elder In’s arm and raising it like pulling crops?

‘Uh… Suddenly… !’

Elder Yin, who was unaware that they were coming this way, was the first to be astonished there.

‘I can’t even buy a moment… Uh… ?’

The moment I looked away in anger at the stupidity of those who attacked Jincheon, I was shocked for the second time.

Fluff- Fluff- Fluff-

‘Are they all dead?’

Doesn’t everyone fall down with a hole the size of a finger pierced in their head?

In addition, when I checked the condition of the corpses, the blood was just flowing, forming a small puddle on the head.

In other words, he punched a hole in everyone’s head and prevented his surprise attack before the corpse even fell.

Seeing this, the Elder Yin felt a strong sense of fear.

I didn’t see or feel his presence until I stopped his own ambush.

“You…What are you…What!?”

It was only then that he began to examine his opponent’s face properly, realizing that it was the same as Jincheon’s face, who was said to have run away after the Danjeon was broken by Pacheon Hoeju Go Chun-yu.

“Fungun God Dragon!”
“And you are the scum of Pacheonhoe.”

Elder Yin quickly grabbed one of the tools hanging from his waist with his free hand and tried to use it.

Kwajijik!

“Aagh!”

Until Jincheon crushed Elder In’s arm with his grip.

His grasp was crushed, and his wrist fell apart.
His blood gushed like a fountain, but Elder Yin threw small marbles from his waist in the meantime.

Each was a powerful bomb with special gunpowder, and although he himself would suffer damage, he had to endure this much to kill Shim Gyeong-seo and Jincheon.

However, Jincheon, who watched indifferently, retrieved the beads that were scattered towards herself and Shim Gyeong-seo in an instant as if her arm had disappeared.

“Hmm. Judging by the smell of gunpowder, it must be a bomb.”
“Bomb!? Throw it quickly!”
“Wait. I’ll show you something fun.”

Her heart kyungseo stepped back and yelled at her to throw it, but Jincheon seemed to be holding her beads tightly with both her hands so that there was no gap in her hands.

Puff puff puff!

Light leaked from Jincheon’s hands with a suppressed explosion, followed by black smoke rising from her.

“It was there, but it disappeared.”
“…”
“…”

Then, as she opened her hand, her powder and small fragments fell in a patter, leaving nothing behind.

“You…You…What are you…What the hell are you!!”

Elder In, who was freed from Jincheon, was terrified by Jincheon’s overwhelming power.

Human beings feel fear accompanied by a sense of helplessness in front of a power that transcends their cognition.

Elder In was the most calm and unwavering of his emotions in the Pacheonhoe, but he was also human and a master of the Hwagyeong level, so we could see how impossible it was to see what was unfolding in front of our eyes.

What just happened seems to be possible to some extent if a master of the Hwagyeong level uses Gwongang, but the skin on the palms will peel off or cause great damage.

However, Jincheon did not cause any damage except for traces of burning.

“The best in the world. The color of Jincheon.”
“What…?”
“Go to the underworld first and wait. Pacheonhoeju, I will send him sooner or later.”

Snap!

Then, Jincheon swung his blade at a speed that Elder In could not even react to.

Blah blah–

When Jincheon tried to attack, Elder In, who tried to hide in the shadows, couldn’t even react, and his body was split in half and died instantly.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Shim.”
“Ah… No… More than that… The power I showed you just now…”

Shim Gyeong-seo was in a state where his mouth was so open that his jaw fell out at the overwhelming inaction that made his eyes suspicious.

“It’s not a very good place to talk, so let’s move.”
“Ah, I see.”

‘What? It’s the same as usual…’

He doubted the dignity of having to follow Jincheon’s voice, but as he said, this place was not a good place and situation to have a conversation.

Shim Gyeong-seo, who left the cleanup to his subordinates, led Jincheon, Lim Ha-yeon, and Cheon Hye-woon to a place where they could have a quiet conversation.

*        *

“Huh…”

When Shim Gyeong-seo arrived at one of the mansions she had bought to welcome guests, she unknowingly let out a sigh of relief at Jin-cheon’s words.

“Absorbed Chiu’s soul?”
“Did you absorb Chiu’s power in the process?”

Lim Ha-yeon and Cheon Hye-woon replied as if they were absurd at Jin-cheon’s words.

No matter how much I trusted Jincheon, this was a story that could only come out of a myth.

However, given the ability he showed, I couldn’t believe it.

“By the way, if you want to sell, you can sell as much as you want, so don’t ask for permission.”
“…If you sell this, even if you are Hao Mun, you will be criticized for selling this kind of information for money.”

Shim Gyeong-seo knew that the moment he sold this information, he had nothing to say even if the person who bought it came and punched him.

“Wait. Jinrang, by the way, why aren’t the other bitches coming?”
“I came first because I wanted to see our Hayeon.”
“Kyaa~♥”

When Lim Ha-yeon, who was sitting next to Jin-cheon, found out why she had come alone without other women, she hugged him and let out a cute cheer.

With her nervous and desolate aura, she became a cute fool in an instant.

Coo wook–

“Hmm?”
“…”

Something in her was tugging at her own collar, and when I looked back at her, I saw that Cheon Hye-woon was tugging at her collar without saying anything with a pouty expression.

It was her signal to pay attention to herself as well, and it was an expression of emotion that she could see as her personality was not suitable to act like her Im Ha-yeon.

“Of course I missed you too.”
“I want you to do that sooner.”

She was such a blatant form of flattery, but Chun Hye-wun took Jin-cheon’s remaining arm as he grumbled whether that was how she felt.

“Keuheum. Keumkeum.”

Shim Kyung-seo changed the atmosphere by coughing at the act of three men and women who were so sweet that they wanted to eat spicy food right away.

It was a signal to talk about future schedules, but Jincheon had something to say to him before that.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking care of my wives.”

This time, she didn’t use her typical savage tone, but bowed down and politely thanked her with her polite voice and actions.

Shim Kyung-seo, who never imagined that Jincheon would express his sincere gratitude this far, strangely made me feel very sorry.

“Ah, no. To the extent of receiving such a greeting…”

‘Hmm? Why am I so apologetic?’

Doesn’t it feel like receiving sincere thanks from a noble royal family?

Yi-seong wondered why he had to have these feelings, but his heart fell at Jin-cheon’s voice and he couldn’t stand up.

‘It’s not simply because he’s a strong warrior. I can feel the ‘force’ in his voice that makes me bow my head.’

Thinking that this is the strongest proof that Chiu’s soul was absorbed, Shim Gyeong-seo decided to believe what Jin-cheon said, although it was hard to believe.

“By the way, why were you attacked?”

When Jincheon’s voice returned to her original tone, Shim Gyeong-seo sighed, thinking that this problem was also serious.

“I am…”

The Jeongsa Union was renamed the Murim Maeng.
And thinking that the political alliance would win, he supported military funds.
Then, the enemies who noticed the fact attacked him.

Shim Gyeong-seo, who explained all of this, became serious.

“The problem is that I only support the high-ranking members of the Murimmaeng. Those who receive military funds from me are warriors selected by the high-ranking ranks among those who are trustworthy.”
“But the Demonic Cult and the Pacheonkai attacked… Didn’t you make a mistake or something?”

I wondered if Shim Gyeong-seo had made a mistake, but he shook his head.

“It’s a form of deliberately sitting next to each other in a crowded restaurant or bar as if we don’t know each other, and carefully exchanging boxes made of the same shape. In addition, I pretend to be unrelated while doing other work at that time.”

It’s like a secret transaction in modern times.

“Then it means that there is a traitor among the warriors of the Murimmaeng or high-ranking people.”
“If you’re a warrior, you can handle it quietly… But if there’s a traitor in the higher ranks, it’s going to be very difficult.”

Since there is not enough information yet, it is not known who the traitor is, but Shim Gyeong-seo earnestly hoped to be among the warriors.

If there is a traitor among the high-ranking people, the Murim Maeng’s victory cannot be assured.

“Don’t worry.”

Seeing Shim Kyung-seo worried, Jincheon hugged Lim Ha-yeon and Cheon Hye-woon on his left and right and arrogantly sat down with his legs crossed.

“This war, I’ll grab you by the neck and make you win.”
