Episode 250
“······You are going to help me get revenge?”
A look of puzzlement appeared on Sogeolgae’s face.
I nodded calmly and answered.
“yes.”
“I want to ask why you suddenly say that.”
“No matter what the circumstances are, it is impossible for you to receive help from the Master. “No matter how you ask, I will never reveal your location.”
“······.”
“That’s why I’m suggesting an alternative. Senior, you can choose one of two options. “You can either give up at this point and go back, or join hands with me.”
Jangjiang Johyeop, who was listening to the story, snorted.
What he was thinking was clearly conveyed through his facial expressions.
It must have been funny to see a young man who had just passed the terms and conditions come forward to seek revenge on the Eight Demon Lords.
“The opponent is an absolute expert who holds the first place in the eight great demon armies. Why would you voluntarily jump into the fire pit?”
“I think you know since you are the Elder of Openness. I am already completely disgusted by the Demon Cultist. “Would the Blood Flower Witch be a big deal?”
“······.”
“If it’s about ability, don’t worry. “I will be able to suggest a more realistic way of revenge than a teacher who has no foundation.”
A bitter smile appeared on Sogeolgae’s lips.
As an open-minded elder, he could not help but feel absurd.
In the first place, he was a person whose influence and connections were not inferior to mine.
The reason he asked Dokgo Woojin for help was simply because he had the power to deal with the Blood Witch.
No matter how much influence I had, I could not replace Dokgo Woojin.
‘At least Sogeolgae thinks so.’
So, first of all, there was a need to change that perception.
“Elder. From now on, don’t tell anyone what’s going on here. To the same ways of opening up, and to King Geol, the owner of the ark.”
“······?”
I took out a small metal plate from my pocket.
This item was originally intended to be given to Seo Ho-seon, and was a protector worn on the joints.
Because it was a product made of 10,000 years of iron, its hardness was no less than that of the German-made weapons of the Yangtze River Collaboration.
“Huh.”
As I placed the protector on the table, the excommunicado master’s eyes lit up.
I could see the value of the item at a glance.
While the four men looked at the protector and my face alternately with puzzled expressions.
Absolutely! Quick!
I concentrated my energy on the tip of my index finger.
The wavering energy rose up and took on a clear shape.
The brain energy was wrapped around the surface of a small sword the size of two fingers.
“Go, strong energy!”
A ronin who looked like a bandit let out a scream-like cry.
The Yangtze River Cooperative said, ‘Huh!’ I took a deep breath.
It seemed like he never thought that I would be an expert who had reached the level of hwagyeong.
Absolutely!
The brain energy gathered into one point.
A tremendous energy wave spread around the small condensed brain energy.
I slowly placed my index finger on the protector.
Sigh!
A protector that cannot withstand even a moment and collapses.
When I removed my index finger and released my energy, there was a small hole in the center of the protector.
The four men who had been watching with bated breath finally let out a noise that could be either a sigh or an exclamation.
“her!”
“oh my god.”
“What on earth is this…?”
I glanced sideways in the direction of Jangjiang Johyeop, and he swallowed hard and averted his gaze.
I said, pushing the guard with the hole to the center of the table as if showing off.
“Of course, to put it bluntly, I am not as good as the Blood Flower Witch right now.”
“······.”
“But that doesn’t mean I can’t land a valid blow on her.”
Sogeolgae’s eyes changed.
It seemed like they realized why I had suddenly staged a demonstration of force.
“For your information, the method I just showed also worked against a blood-sucking demon emperor. “If the circumstances are right, killing the Blood Witch will not be impossible.”
“······.”
“And above all.”
“······?”
“I will definitely surpass her in the near future. Don’t you think it’s worth putting your hopes on her?”
The excommunicating monk moistened his dry lips with his tongue.
A ronin who looked like a bandit was deep in thought with a serious expression.
Let the time of silence pass.
“There is one thing I want to ask you.”
Finally, Sogeolgae looked straight at me and opened his mouth.

“Why do you want to join hands with me? “What good does he have for you?”
“Just as the elder dreams of revenge, I also have a goal.”
“Is your goal to take revenge on the Demonic Cult as a survivor of the extinct Wolhwajang?”
“It’s similar.”
I nodded, giving a puzzling answer.
I didn’t feel any need to clear up the other person’s misunderstanding.
What I will do in the future will not be much different from what he thinks.
At the end of the road I took, there was eventually Ma Gyoju.
As long as he lived, the war would never end.
Of course, it was impossible to face a peaceful future.
“Now it is the elder’s turn to give the answer.”
“······.”
“What do you want to do? Would you like to join hands with me?”
Lord Ma.
My teacher in my past life.
A being stronger and more fearful than anyone else in the world.
A wall that must be overcome someday.
Preparations to take over his supply were being made step by step.
* * *
A private office exclusively for the branch manager.
I stood up in response to the presence outside the door.
As I adjusted my clothes and waited, a woman soon opened the door and entered the room.
A direct blood relative of the Sacheon Dang family, Dokbong (毒鳳) Dang Seoyeon.
Finally, she was given the nickname Bong (鳳).
This was because her activities in South Manchuria as a member of the delegation were known throughout the Central Plains.
In fact, looking at her skills alone, it would not be strange for her to have entered the ranks of Yongbong right away.
Rather, it could be said that the fame spread too late.
“······.”
Woo Hwayeon, who was working at a desk placed in the corner, left her seat without notice.
I offered Dang Seo-yeon a seat, served her some tea, and said hello.
“How have you been?”
“yes.”
“The reason I called Sojeo today is because I want to ask you one thing.”
“What kind of request is this?”
“Actually, I am in the process of excavating the secret cave of Muyeongsintu.”
“yes? “What do you mean by that?”
“I mean it literally. Instead of fake ruins like the ones made by the Iron Blood Demon Army before, we found the real Monument of Muyeongshintu. “The excavation team led by Secretary Dam is currently struggling.”
“······!”
“I’ll tell you straight. “Knowledge of Sozer’s organs is necessary.”
“I don’t know if I can be of help in such an important matter.”
“Secretary Dam personally asked me to recruit Sojeo. “The skills of the recruited experts are quite high, but they say they are nothing compared to Sojeo.”
Seoyeon Dang, who was scratching her cheek awkwardly, soon nodded.
After we finished talking about distribution.
While tilting the teacup and examining her face, I said as if throwing it away.
“Recently, I heard that hawks have been encamped around the party family.”
Tang Seo-yeon’s movements stopped for an instant.
After barely regaining her composure, she put down her teacup and opened her mouth.
“yes. “The number of suitors has increased recently.”
It was a completely natural flow.
People who heard about Dokbong’s reputation are interested in her.
Are there any martial arts factions that would like to have a good relationship with the Tang family?
A direct blood relative of the Sacheondang family.
The Poison King’s favorite granddaughter.
She is a person who lacks nothing, including her background and skills, and she even has outstanding beauty added to it.
‘It’s natural to be courted by many men.’
Tang Seo-yeon stared at me with a faint smile on her lips.
There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, and it seemed like there was something he wanted to hear from me.
“Why are you asking that?”
“I thought it was a positive change. “It made me feel good that Sojeo was finally being evaluated fairly by the world.”
“Is there anything else you can think of?”
“······?”
When I tilted my head and met his gaze, she sighed softly and held the teacup in her hand again.
Afterwards, various small talk took place.
From time to time, Seo-yeon Dang said something that seemed like a dream, but I just ignored it and ignored it all.
“Well then, I’ll just leave.”
“Go carefully. Sozer.”
For a while, I stared at the back of Dang Seo-yeon leaving the office with a regretful expression.
It wasn’t until I could no longer see her in sight that I started cleaning up.
Seoyeon Dang’s words echoed in my head as I was carrying the empty teacup.
[Is there anything else you can think of?]
It wasn’t really that I didn’t know what she meant by saying that.
However, I pretended not to understand and pretended not to understand.
‘What on earth do you want to do?’
A bitter laugh came out.
I couldn’t understand myself.
Why on earth do you bring up the story about hawks in that situation?
“······.”
I was aware that I was not very knowledgeable about relationships between men and women.
In my past life, I didn’t have the time to focus on such soft things.
However, despite this, I could definitely tell that Seo-yeon Tang had a crush on me.
How can you not know when you express your feelings so openly?
No matter how dull I was when it came to relationships, I wasn’t that clueless.
I became convinced when I was attacked by Yeongeumdae in the past.
[The wound is…]
[it’s okay. It was only a shallow cut.]
[Just in case, it would be a good idea to take the antidote.]
[Don’t you know that I have achieved immortality?]
[Even so, there is one thing that happens. Just because it is impermeable to all poisons doesn’t mean it is immune to all poisons.]
[······All right.]
I realized this when I saw her taking care of me before the seriously injured warriors of her family.
That she has feelings for me.
Although I knew Tang Seo-yeon’s feelings, there were several reasons why I acted like a fool in front of her.
First, because I want to become an elder of the Murim Alliance.
The evil practices of the Tang family were widely known throughout the Central Plains.
In order to form a conjugal relationship with Tang Seoyeon, he had to join the Tang family as a son-in-law.
In other words, it meant that he had to give up becoming an elder of the Meng.
Second, I didn’t want her to become my weakness.
I have witnessed this countless times in the past.
Family, lovers, relatives.
People who are taken by someone else’s will because they see a ‘precious being’ as their weakness.
In his previous life, Bangcheoksam was like that, Lee Ganghak was like that, and Jeolyeonggaek was like that.
There were few people who knew the ways of the Demonic Cult as well as I did.
And the third is…
‘No, no.’
I laughed and shook my head in self-deprecation.
Actually, the reason was probably good.
Whatever it was, it was all just an excuse.
The most important thing in the end was my own heart.
In the end, I just didn’t have the courage.
The courage to build deep relationships with others.
The courage to take a step forward in your current relationship.
martial arts,
