The 275th school said not to choose.
Of course, it was something that the prosecutor had brought up for me to hear.
Geommugeuk stood up from his seat and greeted Geomseon politely with a bow.
“I haven’t been able to formally greet you before. It’s an honor to meet you.”
Geomseon looked at Geommugeuk with sharp eyes. He was impressed by Geommugeuk’s eyes and prayers even when he first saw him.
‘Even though you’ve mastered magic, your eyes are so clear? It’s truly amazing.’
The swordsman’s gaze turned to the Blood Heavenly Demon standing behind the sword dance. He remembered what Blood Heavenly Demon had said earlier.
-It might change.
Was it this cult leader who he said changed his life?
The swordsman asked again in a soft yet stern tone.
“Let me repeat what I said earlier.”
“I expected you didn’t know. If you did, you wouldn’t have condoned it.”
Geom-seon had only followed Jin Ha-gun to protect him at the request of Jin Pae-cheon, the leader of the martial arts world, and had no idea why he had come out. He had never been interested in the first place.
“Does that mean what you said earlier is true?”
“Yes. Seocheong killed a passerby and a member of the school because he wanted to commit murder. There were other victims as well. When I happened to be in Honam and was about to punish Seocheong, the Murim Alliance intervened to stop it.”
Geomseon asked Jinhagun with cold, sunken eyes.
“Your Majesty, is that true?”
If you answer yes, even if you were the grandson of the martial arts leader, you would be criticized due to the nature of the swordsman.
Jin Ha-gun could tell what Geommu-geuk meant. It meant to use the swordsmanship to escape.
“It’s true.”
In that moment, anger welled up in Geomseon.
Jin Ha-gun quickly added.
“There is only one thing missing.”
Jin Ha-gun looked at Seo-cheong and said.
“I was also trying to give Seocheong an appropriate punishment for his crimes.”
Jin Ha-gun could see that this was the most natural way to break away from Cheonhwamun.
“What kind of punishment is it?”
“I was going to lock you in prison. You’ll be locked up there for the rest of your life.”
Geomseon looked at Jin Hagun with suspicious eyes. He might have been making excuses in a hurry after he came forward.
Jin Ha-gun confidently received the swordsman’s gaze. In fact, he could have done so, or not. He decided to believe in himself. He would have punished him somehow.
Only then did the swordsman’s expression loosen up.
“Yeah, I knew you would do that.”
The swordsman gave strength to Jin Ha-gun because he trusted him. He had known Jin Ha-gun since he was young. He knew that he had lived harder than anyone else and that he was an upright child.
“I believe in you.”
“We will work harder to ensure that we do not disappoint you.”
Jin Ha-gun was thankful that things didn’t go in the direction of absorbing Cheonhwamun. Thinking back now, I was really blinded by greed.
Of course, that didn’t mean that the swordsman’s anger had disappeared. Its target had simply changed.
Geomseon’s gaze turned to Seocheong. If he had looked at him, he would have run towards Geomseon, but Seocheong stood there, terrified.
Seo Baek-joong called out loud.
“Why aren’t you here? What are you doing?”
The swordsman was already angry. If I had offended him, I could have lost my life on the spot.
“I told you to come in!”
Seo Baek-jung shouted and sent a message.
-Do as the swordsman says. Come and beg for forgiveness for my death!
– Please save me, Father! I can’t go to that brain prison! If I go, I’ll die.
-Shut up! This is not the time to be acting up!
When Seo Baek-joong suddenly got angry, Seo Cheong walked towards Geom-seon with a very frightened face.
Seo Baek-jung’s urgent message reached Jin Ha-gun.
-Please stop!
―Since the Sword Master has stepped forward, I can’t do anything about it. As you know, the Sword Master is the Lord’s close friend and has been his ally all his life, right?
-Is this really going to happen? Is he just going to let this go?
Seo Baek-jung mentioned Jin Ha-gun’s master.
Certainly, Master was the one who was most concerned about Jin Ha-gun.
However, after the swordsmanship was established, Jin Ha-gun had decided to let go of Cheon Hwa-mun. He believed that his master would surely understand his decision.
-He also cannot go against the will of the elder swordsman.
Meanwhile, Seo Cheong stood in front of Geomseon.
The swordsman asked him with cold eyes.
“Was what you heard from the leader of the Demonic Cult true?”
Seo Cheong hesitated, not knowing what to say. His gaze turned back to Seo Baek-jung.
If he was innocent, he would have said no and complained about the injustice. Just looking at this one action, it was like he was admitting everything he had done.
Seo Baek-joong stepped forward instead.
“This is an incident that is still under investigation and the truth has not been revealed.”
He tried to avoid this moment somehow. He expected Jin Ha-gun to feel sorry for him and that he would say yes.
But the person that Geomseon asked was Geommugeuk.
“Little Leader, is what this person is saying true?”
“No. All sins have already been revealed.”
Then, Geomseon scolded Seo Baek-jung with a cold look.
“You dare lie to me?”

It was also a distasteful thing for a swordsman to be locked up in a brain prison. His life was to punish anyone who killed an innocent person, regardless of their status.
Seo Baek-jung lowered his head as if he had done something wrong and sent a message.
-Get down on your knees and beg!
Only then did Seo-cheong kneel down. He was terrified.
‘No brain prison!’
Seo Cheong pleaded with Geomseon.
“I made a mistake because I was drunk. I don’t remember what happened that day. Please forgive me.”
In that moment, the expression on the swordsman’s face became even colder. Instead of saying that he was wrong, he said that he made a mistake first. And on top of that, he even made an excuse about drinking?
As they say, seeing one is knowing ten, and Geomseon was able to immediately figure out what kind of person Seocheong was.
“Was it a mistake?”
“Yes, it was a mistake.”
“Then why did you kill other people?”
“that…….”
He couldn’t think of an excuse. He raised his head and pleaded.
“Please forgive me just this once.”
“He is asking why you killed him.”
Seo-cheong’s mind went blank at the frosty reprimand.
In a blank state like a blank sheet of paper, an emotion welled up deep in Seo-cheong’s heart. It was the emotion he had used most on others in his life: anger.
Seo-cheong was angry. No one had ever pushed him like this before.
The next moment he shouted.
“Because I wanted to kill you!”
For a moment, silence flowed there.
“Because it was thrilling to kill someone.”
Seocheong raised his head, looked around, and shouted even louder.
“You know how that feels, don’t you? You killed more people. Why are you only picking on me!”
Everyone there just looked at him with cold eyes.
The person who ran to him was Seo Baek-jung.
match!
Seo Baek-joong slapped Seo Cheong on the cheek without any mercy.
“Shut up!”
“Why are you hitting me? Did I say something wrong?”
It was obvious that he had hit her to save himself, but Seo-cheong was so excited that he couldn’t see anything.
“Why is that old man trying to punish me? Isn’t this the territory of the Demonic Cult, not the territory of the Murim Alliance? If I am to be punished, I should be punished by those people!”
Clap! Clap!
Seo Baek-jung beat Seo Cheong without mercy.
Who can you blame? It’s your own fault for raising your child this way.
Seo Baek-joong could feel that Geom-seon’s anger had reached its peak. He thought that Geom-seon might kill Seo-cheong if things continued like this.
He quickly sent a message to Visain.
-We will join hands with the Apostolic Alliance.
Visain did not immediately respond to his desperate message, because he was now holding the hilt of the sword.
Visain was impressed by Geommu-geuk. How could he drag Geomseon into this situation and bring it to this? Looking at the results, it seemed like something anyone could have thought of, but this was not something that anyone could have done.
While Seo Baek-jung was trying to lure in the Sado-maeng, Seo Cheong, unable to hold back, did something.
He was angry at his father. He misunderstood that the person who should have saved him somehow was keeping quiet and saying he wanted to live alone. He beat him.
Because there was no affection or trust between blood relatives, extreme situations only resulted in extreme thoughts.
Seo-cheong blurted out words she absolutely should not have said due to her misunderstanding and fear that her father had abandoned her.
“Didn’t your father kill people too?”
Seo Baek-joong, who was flustered, quickly spoke to Geomseon.
“Don’t worry about it, I’m just saying whatever I want because I’m scared.”
Seo Baek-jung looked back at Seo Cheong and frowned.
-Shut up! Do you really want to kill this father too?
It was a slip of the tongue, but it was said in haste. Seo-cheong interpreted it as, ‘If you want to die, then die alone!’ Seo-cheong shouted in frustration.
“You poisoned the evil poison sword and buried it in the bamboo forest on the back mountain, didn’t you? You killed the Honam Samrang and the Myeoljeol sword!”
A moment of silence came.
A name that shouldn’t have come out has come out. Honam Samrang and Myeoljeolgeom are said to be people with a romantic relationship, but Sadokgeom is a warrior belonging to the Sadomaeng.
Seo Baek-joong looked at Bisain with a bewildered face.
-The missing poison sword was buried in the mountain behind our Seomunju.
-You misunderstand.
-There’s no need to make excuses. After all, the poison sword wasn’t on my side.
-Then will you hold my hand?
– I’m sorry, but that would be difficult. Even if we are the worst, don’t we have pride?
Even though he knew that they had killed the Sapa Muin, he could not accept them. There were more than one or two eyes watching. When Geommu-geuk rolled a pumpkin to him along with the vine, it rolled away from his grasp.
In the end, Seo Baek-joong hung on the rope that was furthest from him.
“We will join hands with the Cheonmasin Church. Please accept us.”
Seo Baek-joong didn’t even send a telegram. He didn’t have the luxury of adjusting the situation with a telegram right now. Not only was his son in danger, but his own life was also in danger. The only place he could trust was the Demonic Cult.
At that sight, Bisain exclaimed, “So this is how it ends up.” At first, when Geommugeuk joked that he should never choose the Demonic Cult, Bisain had a premonition that this might end up happening.
And it really happened.
“Didn’t I clearly say no? I told you not to choose our school.”
“Please accept it.”
“I said no! Go to the Murim Alliance you like.”
“please!”
“That Apostle Lord over there, his face is scary, but he’s actually a nice person. Go over there.”
“Please accept me from the new religion! Please, I beg you!”
Seo Baek-jung grabbed Geommu Geuk’s trouser leg and pleaded.
“This is difficult.”
It really did not deviate from Visain’s expectations one bit.
In the end, the pretending not to win said quietly.
“Okay, but there is one condition.”
“Please speak.”
“Your self-restraint is a brainwashing. As long as Cheonhwamun’s loyalty remains unchanged, the execution will be postponed.”
It wasn’t forgiveness. Life in the brain prison of the Cheonmasingyo would bring more pain than death.
At those words, Seo-cheong was startled and started to run wild again.
“Please save me! Why me! Why me, for killing a few worthless things! Father, please save me!”
Although he had lived his whole life without any care, this was the moment when he truly experienced the fear of the world.
“You hypocrites! You kill indiscriminately, but why can’t I be killed?”
Seo Baek-joong sighed. It seemed like his son was shouting as the messenger whispered in his ear.
In the end, Seo Cheong also poured out bad words to Seo Baek-jung.
“Where in the world can you find a father who abandons his child? What kind of sect do you lead with such a subject? You bad guy!”
It was the moment when the connection between the two people was completely severed.
Seo Baek-joong thought that this might be a better path for Cheonhwamun. Cheonhwamun would continue to run well, and his son was still alive. That was fine.
Seo Baek-jung controlled his mind like that.
At that moment, Gwangseom, who had not said a word until then, approached quickly and called Seo Baek-jung.
“Seo Munju.”
The moment Seo Baek-joong turned towards him without thinking.
Oh my god!
Crunch.
The swordsman cut him down with a single stroke. He was so swift that his sword was invisible.
No one expected him to kill Seo Baek-joong, so everyone was shocked. Especially his son Seo Cheong was shocked. He sat there in deep thought, wondering if he would be next.
Gwangseom bowed his head to Visain and spoke briefly.
“Sadokgeom was my brother. I will gladly accept the punishment for moving without orders.”
Even the Sword Dance Theater didn’t know that. When the indifferent heavens take interest in the world, there is no way out.
Geomseon, who was watching this scene, sent a message to Hyeolcheondoma.
-Did you create this situation?
Today, I thought that Blood Heavenly Swordsman had been sending out messages and making plans throughout the day. Blood Heavenly Swordsman remembered Blood Heavenly Swordsman as that kind of person.
-I wish that were the case too… … .
Bloodthirsty Doma wasn’t the type of person to lie about something like this.
The swordsman’s gaze turned towards the sword dance.
-I guess I have to live a long life.
He realized too late that he himself had been moving according to the will of the sword master.
-If you meddle like that, you won’t hear good things from the young people.
-It’s okay.
This is how the Cheonhwamun was organized.
With Seo Baek-jung dead and Seo Cheong imprisoned in the Brain Prison, the new leader of Cheonhwamun will be someone who follows the Cheonmasingyo.
Everyone’s attention was naturally focused on Geommugeuk.
Today, the sword dance drama was all accomplished. I absorbed the Heavenly Flower and received the punishment for Seocheong’s sins. He was standing there smiling and feeling free of tension, and now he felt like a different person.
If someone says that rumors are exaggerated nine times out of ten, at least the people here will shake their heads and say this. The only one left is the sword dance theater.
Jin Ha-gun and Bi Sa-in slowly walked towards Geommu-geuk and stood facing each other in a circle.
As the meeting was, it was the moment when the first farewell between the three successors in the history of martial arts was about to begin.
