< Episode 99: Youngest Leader Candidate (4) >
Bang Deok-hyeon, a military commander, was perplexed by the death of a middle-aged man who appeared to be an escort.
It’s natural for him to be surprised.
I’ve been doing so much surveillance, but I never would have imagined that they would approach me this way.
There is no better technique to catch an opponent off guard than the embodiment technique.
However, the guy’s face, which seemed to be in constant distress, soon regained its composure.
Does that mean you have that much experience?
He looked at me with a stern expression and said.
“There’s no way it’s a bast face… Could it be a reverse magic?”
Inversion surgery is a type of technique that can forcibly change facial muscles.
However, compared to embodied transformation, it is less sophisticated, has many loopholes, and is not a method that can be maintained for a long time.
It can be seen as a similar principle to the Chukgolgong practiced by Master Haeakcheon.
“That’s amazing. “I’ve never seen a trick that mimics another person’s face with such precision.”
“You’re quite calm.”
“Is there anything to be surprised about? “The fact that we already know Nobu’s title in the organization makes your identity clear.”
I snorted and asked him.
“What is my identity?”
“Sogeomseon Sounhwi, no, a descendant of Geomseon.”
It’s not that I don’t have any sense.
In fact, he must have had this level of insight to be able to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Murim League and advisor to Geum Sang-je.
“I know very well. “Then you know why I came, right?”
Commander Bang Deok-hyeon chuckled at my words.
Was it bold to take it easy in this situation, or was it desperation?
“Do you see if I’m laughing?”
“I laughed because of the variables that Nobu could not have assumed.”
It is difficult for anyone to realize that I can disguise myself as someone else.
Those who became enemies were killed one by one.
The only living person is Seolbaek.
I spoke to Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon.
“I won’t go into a long story. After all, I know how well you guys follow the Golden Sangje.”
“I hope the old man will tell me everything about him.”
“that’s right.”
“Then, as you predicted, you know very well that Nobu will not say anything.”
“I guess so.”
With those words, I approached Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon.
If you’re not going to open your mouth anyway, there’s no reason to drag it out.
There is no time.
Then he smiled leisurely at me and said,
“Killing Nobu is your freedom, Geomseon’s descendant, but can you handle it?”
“Take care of the back?”
He said to me, tapping his head with his finger.
“Nobu has survived this difficult martial arts world with only one head and has endured for a long time. But don’t you think we could have predicted such an unexpected variable at all?”
“You are very overconfident in yourself.”
“Do you think you won’t be caught killing Nobu and replacing him? Nobu is always prepared for chaos using bast noodles or reverse magic. Even if you imitate Nobu, you can never replace Nobu.”
It seems like they prepared a password that only they can understand in preparation for this kind of situation.
The military is military, right?
It seemed like he had put his head to work and came up with a solution.
Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon continued speaking, gesturing to the surroundings.
“Ah, if you are thinking of changing your methods and killing Nobu and leaving quietly, I recommend you give up too. Why do you think Nobu only had a desk and table in his office?”
As he said, for a military office, it was extremely clean, without any books or bookshelves.
So that it is difficult to hide any item.
The guy raised his mouth and said.
“Nobu is very wary and has arranged for the organization’s unmanned personnel to come to the office to conduct reconnaissance once in a while. “How are you going to hide the dead?”
The guy’s face became triumphant.
It seems he was convinced that he had put me in a difficult situation.
He seemed to think that I could not escape the measures he had devised in any way, and he spoke more leisurely, taking a drink from the teacup on the table.
“Slurp. “I can’t wait.”
“expectation?”
“I was hoping that you would break away from Nobu’s tricks. It is said that someone who can please Nobu with as much resourcefulness as that friend has appeared. “But I’m disappointed.”
The guy clicked his tongue and continued talking.
“I had some expectations, but I was overconfident in my own incompetence and intelligence. If you were going to hit him on the head, you should have found Nobu’s loophole and pushed him to the end. “Nobu speaks highly of you for doing things without thinking like this.”
“……”
“Well, it’s not easy to find someone who can please Nobu like that friend, Zhuge Yuanming, whom I personally raised.”
With those words, the guy tried to move his legs slightly.
At this, I grinned and raised my hand.
Then, as if he couldn’t move his body, he trembled and frowned.
When I waved my left hand towards the desk, the desk was dragged to the side by an object in the air, and I saw something that looked like a step that I could press underneath.
“You’ve gone through a lot of trouble looking for an opportunity to press.”

“…….Nothing will change even if you don’t press this.”
-smart!
At that time, someone knocked on the office door.
“You’re here.”
At this, Bang Deok-hyeon smiled bitterly and tried to open his mouth, as if he had not done as he said.
However, since he had silenced his mouth with such force, there was no way he could easily open his mouth.
I lightly snapped my fingers.
-Just right!
The guy looked puzzled at that action.
Then the door opened and a warrior dressed in military uniform entered the office.
However, the man who came inside stood up casually and took a swipe at Bang Deok-hyeon, the commander-in-chief, who was unable to move.
“There is no movement from the North Yeongdoseong side yet.”
‘!?’
When Bang Deok-hyeon saw this, his eyes widened and his expression became incomprehensible.
Regardless of the guy’s reaction, the warrior in the military war reported various information, and he couldn’t even see what happened in the room at all.
“insect!”
With a small shout, he took the gun and left the office, closing the door.
I said this to Bang Deok-hyeon, the head of the military, who looked dumbfounded.
“You did something pretty funny, didn’t you? “Did you try to get rid of me like that at the meeting of the Martial Arts League?”
Hearing my words, he muttered in a trembling voice.
“What on earth have you done?”
What he did was just let Jeongyo Hwan Ui-gyeong see what he wanted.
This guy looks no different from usual.
Even though I don’t know what code was used, the warrior went out without a problem because he saw what he was seeing.
“Is it really a drinking method?”
I didn’t give any answer to that guy’s question.
I just took out the lucky bag from my pocket.
I approached the dead bodies without paying attention to the person who was looking at me strangely.
“Smart people always have a habit of thinking by their own standards.”
With those words, I picked up the dead body and put it in my pocket.
The man’s eyes widened as he saw the body stuffed into a small lucky bag.
“Anit?”
It was strange not to be surprised to see a human body being stuffed into this small pouch.
I then stuffed the dead body with a broken neck into my pocket.
And I spoke to him casually.
“The body has been disposed of now?”
He couldn’t hide his embarrassment at my words.
I would have never dreamed that a body would be concealed like this.
“What the hell is this?”
“The body is fine, then.”
I reached into my pocket and pulled out something.
It was none other than a silken sword.
“knife?”
It would be amazing to see a sword sticking out as well as a body being thrown in.
The serian sword that came out spoke to me in a chattering manner.
-Hmm. Why did you take it out now? It’s so stuffy in here.
I guess I was very frustrated.
It’ll be okay for a while.
Now you have something to do.
I held up my sword and approached General Commander Pang Deok-hyeon, who was unable to move.
And then he smiled at the guy and said,
“I’ll take back what I said earlier. “It’s pretty disappointing.”
“what?”
“I had high expectations because he was my teacher, but it’s a shame that he is worse than his student, Zhuge Wonming. At least he gave me quite a bit of trouble before he died.”
‘!?’
His eyes widened at my words.
It’s natural for him to be surprised, since he probably didn’t know that I killed Zhuge Yuanming.
“…..under!”
He looks shocked.
Until now, they must have known that they killed Zhuge Yuanming to seize the blood demon sword from the blood religion.
As I approached right in front of him, he spoke to me as if I couldn’t understand him.
“……Are you really a descendant of Geomseon?”
“Why don’t you think so?”
I guess they thought I was acting for the sake of justice for some political faction.
I’m sorry I didn’t meet your expectations, but I move for my own sake.
I stretched out my hand towards him.
“What on earth are you trying to do?”
“This is what happens.”
-Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tak!
I controlled the bloodstream of the guy so that he could not open his mouth, then grabbed his head and sent out thunder energy.
-Pachichichichik!
“Gwaggggggggg.”
The electrocuted guy groaned and convulsed all over his body.
Then he started drooling and looked at me with a blank expression.
Part of my brain had been completely burned off, and I felt like I had become a complete idiot.
– Swoosh!
I let my energy flow into my head and checked its condition.
There are no signs of regeneration or recovery.
As Seolbaek said, it seemed clear that the guy had not had any surgery.
I placed a sword in that guy’s hand.
OK,
“Hmm, I don’t like my old body.”
Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon complained to me in a bitter voice.
I wish that body wouldn’t be so twisted.
It’s a bit gross.
* * *
Around noon in the afternoon.
All elders from each faction gathered in the main conference room of the Murim Federation.
This is for the meeting to elect a leader to be held tomorrow, which has been kept confidential until now.
Most of the elders were seated, and even Jin Gyun, the vice leader, showed up and sat down, but the commander-in-chief, Bang Deok-hyeon, had not yet appeared.
Everyone could not hide their surprise as the great man, who usually showed up on time, was late.
‘Why are you late?’
‘The person who decided to make the motion here…..’
The elders who had coordinated their efforts in advance expressed their concerns.
If he does not come forward and make a motion, someone among the elders will have no choice but to come forward and make a motion, which will incur the outright disapproval of the vice leader Jingyun.
Just like that, a moment passed.
In the meantime, as the general military had not yet appeared, Vice Commander Jingyun showed signs of discomfort.
“Why hasn’t the general military arrived yet?”
In response to his question, Master Li Sima Zhongxian made a gesture and called someone.
“Go to the military camp immediately and bring the commander-in-chief….”
It was right then.
-Kkeeeeeeeek!!
The door to the conference room opened, and Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon appeared, dragging a cane that looked quite heavy, unlike usual.
Vice leader Jingyun tried to ask why he was so late, but then frowned.
Because there was a person coming in behind Bang Deok-hyeon.
“Sogeomseon?”
“What about Sogeomseon?”
He was none other than Sogeomseon Sounhwi.
When General Commander Bang Deok-hyeon appeared with him at the grand meeting in which only martial arts league figures of elder or higher level could participate, most people looked puzzled.
‘Why are those two together?’
This was also the case for the elders who decided to work with Commander-in-Chief Bang Deok-hyeon.
At least those two aren’t the ones moving together.
‘What on earth is going on?’
‘Could it be that there was a change in the plan?’
The purpose of this meeting was also to exclude Sogeomseon So Unhwi from being a candidate for election as leader.
At that time, Master Li Sima Zhongxian stood up and spoke loudly.
“Total military. You’re late. However, this is an important meeting. “I understand that entry is not permitted except for the elders and the military department.”
At his words, Commander Bang Deok-hyeon opened his mouth.
“Let me start by saying I’m sorry to everyone for being late. And Nobu invited Sogeomseon to join him because an important issue arose at this meeting.”
“What is this, a major problem?”
In response to that question, So Un-hwi took the lead and spoke to the elders.
“I would like to first apologize for coming into this situation without permission and causing inconvenience to the vice leader and other elders.”
In response to his words, Jong-oh Jin-in, a new member of the independent faction, opened his mouth.
“Primordial Heavenly Father. Primitive Heavenly Zone. I don’t know what the serious problem is, but the law was made to be strictly followed. Sogeomseon, please leave for now.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can do that.”
“what?”
At this, the expressions of the elders became scary.
In particular, Vice Lord Gyun Gyun directly expressed his discomfort.
“Brother Xiao. Although I may be acquainted with you, this is not a place where you can enter without permission. “If you don’t leave right away…”
“Let’s look at this first.”
Before he could finish his words, So Woon-hwi took something out of his arms.
It was wrapped in cloth, and when it was opened, something that looked like a long needle was revealed.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s a long needle coated with phantom poison.”
“Hwanma poison?”
To Jin-gyun, the vice leader who was questioning him, So Woon-hwi pointed to Bang Deok-hyeon, the commander-in-chief, who was holding a cane, and spoke in a voice of regret.
“everyone. “Grand Master Pang Deok-hyeon of the General Military has been under the influence and manipulation of this illusion poison.”
