Chapter 141

Episode 141: Make the right choice this time.

I chose the path I knew.

Even before the regression, I chose the right mission, and today I also chose the right envelope.

I can accomplish any mission now!

This is not the time to express such confidence. It was an opportunity to humbly make up for past failures.

There was a piece of paper in the envelope with these four letters written on it.

Punishment for false demons.

That was the order that had been given to me before.

Sima Ming sent a message and explained. This was so that the two people would not know each other’s mission.

―Recently, a strange organization called Cheonmyeonghoe (天命會) has begun to operate secretly in Moorim. Although they have raised the banner of creating a new martial arts group under heaven’s command, they are only seeking personal gain. Recently, he impersonated our school’s Mazon and caused several incidents, reaching a point where we could no longer ignore him. Gongja Lee, find out and kill them, and eliminate Cheonmyeonghoe.

In fact, when I heard this sermon before returning, I thought they were funny. It was not because of his ability, but because of the fact that he impersonated the Mazon of our school.

But now I take it differently. Dare to impersonate Mazon means that you are either confident enough to handle it or that there may be another plan hidden behind you. These guys are not ordinary guys.

“I will follow your orders.”

After I received the mission, Geommuyang chose the remaining envelopes. Of course, I know full well what mission is written on that envelope.

Sima Ming gave basic information to Geommuyang via e-mail and then spoke to the two of us.

“You must complete the mission alone. However, while the two of you are on a mission, you can use all of the information networks of our school’s Tongcheon Pavilion, and you can use any of our school’s four magicians, including the Demon Army, and the Palma Zone, just once.”

It meant that you could solve it on your own, but get help from our school when subduing them.

After Sima Ming finished speaking, my father spoke.

“A frog in a well or a flower in a greenhouse cannot lead our school. Come back after clearly solving the problem!”

My father entrusts me with this dangerous mission and doesn’t say a word to be careful. I smiled and eased the tense atmosphere.

“Father, who among us would you like to succeed?”

The corners of my father’s mouth rose slightly at my question. I can feel that he is holding back what he wants to say.

In fact, my father’s eyes looking down at us were fair. He didn’t even give a personal glance to me or my brother.

Before the regression, I was not looking at my father at this moment. All I could think about was completing my mission somehow.

But now I was looking at my father.

Don’t worry dad. I will resolve it safely and come back.

He conveyed that belief with his eyes. This was also an effort to become a successor. The more my father believes in me, the closer I will be to becoming his successor.

My gaze, which had been directed at my father, turned to Geommuyang.

‘Brother, come back and do well like before. I will do well and come back. Oh, don’t look at me so coldly without even knowing how I feel.’

The next morning, as we were getting ready to leave, Ian came to visit.

“Did you call me?”

“I will leave school for a while and then come back.”

“Where are you going?”

“I can’t reveal it.”

I raised my finger and pointed upward. Ian realized that he was leaving to carry out orders from Cheonmajeon.

“Please buy me something delicious when you come!”

“I’m not going out to have fun. “I’m going to take care of something very dangerous.”

“I’m busy with martial arts training, so I’ll go first.”

“Terrible enemies are about to pour in.”

“Bye!”

Ian, who had run to the door, sighed and turned around.

“How good would it be if it went like this? How dangerous is it? “I will go with you and help you.”

She had changed from Ian, who was playing around, to Ian, who worried about me whether he was sleeping or waking up.

“It’s something you have to do alone. And I’m kidding too. “You don’t have to worry.”

“Really?”

“Don’t worry, mind your own business.”

“Even so, Cheongmyeon came to visit not long ago.”

I watched the two people meeting, but I pretended not to notice.

“You’re going to encourage it?”

“No, you’re still thinking. “He just asked a few questions and left.”

“He said he’s been drinking too much lately and needs to expel some of his cycle.”

“It’s a good thing, right?”

“Yes, it was something I really wanted. Thank you, Gongja Lee.”

“you’re welcome. “I promised to drink less and eat more snacks when I drink, so please take care of me.”

“Yes, I will.”

I felt it for a long time. That this female benefactor likes to drink alcohol. Does Chuma know that feeling? I wonder if, like a snorkel, he knows but pretends not to notice.

Among the Magons, I last stopped by the abode of Blood Heavenly Demon.

“The elders’ attitude is becoming harsher.”

Today too, it was Hyeolcheon Doma who was in meditation mode.

“The more you grow, the harsher your enemies will become.”

“Are you really training to deal with my enemies? Are you planning on getting into a fight with the Mazons who support your brother?”

“It’s not just because of the successor fight.”

“sure?”

“Do you remember what I said before? “When a dragon ascends to heaven, it brings rain and wind.”

“sure. The old man said that. “My people are being swept away by the wind and rain.”

“That’s right. “You said that loaches cause flat land waves in muddy water, but I think the sleeping dragons of Murim will wake up from the flat land waves.”

“Aren’t you overestimating me?”

“Looking at what you’ve shown so far, this is an underestimation. Be careful even when you go out. It seems that the main church and the Murim Apostolic Association are dividing and controlling the martial arts, but compared to the total number of Murim people, they are only a very small number. We don’t know where those stronger than us will emerge. Don’t forget. “A place where there are as many people as grains of sand is a powerhouse.”

“I will always make careful decisions before making any moves.”

“And just a moment.”

Hyeolcheondoma went into the room and came out with a small box. When I opened it, there was a herbal medicine inside.

“It’s a quick attack group. “Use it if you’re in a hurry.”

Quick-gongdan was a simple medicine that, when taken when internal energy was depleted, restored internal energy two or three times faster than usual.

Since there were no side effects, it could only be obtained by paying a large amount of money, and even that was not easy to obtain because it was not common.

“Save it and use it for your elders.”

“Are you planning to pamper the old man by feeding him Sogongdan? “You can take it and use it yourself.”

He forced the quick attack into my hand. My heart swelled as I felt concern and sorrow for myself.

Don’t worry, old man. I will travel safely.

As expected, I enjoyed the atmosphere.

“Is there anything more you can give me? “Go in and find out more.”

“There is none! “Not anymore!”

“I see that you strongly deny it. “I look forward to seeing you again next time.”

I smiled and said hello and was about to turn around when Hyeolcheondoma asked.

“What happened with the sneaky guy?”

“We have decided to treat each other differently from now on.”

Hyeolcheondoma made a dumbfounded expression and then an expression of admiration.

“If you were a loach, you would never have been able to get along with that insidious bastard.”

It meant that although he didn’t like the taste of the horse, it was a great thing to be friendly with the taste of the horse.

“I trust my elders and do whatever I want.”

“So you’re wielding this heavy sword with this old body, aren’t you?”

After leaving Hyeolcheondoma’s residence, I left the church.

When I reached a deserted place, I started running in earnest. These days, it’s better to move alone, even if it’s because of the speed walk.

However, even while running, I definitely rested when I had to rest. This is because everything I do this time will be reported to Cheonmajeon. There was no need to tell everyone that I could run incredibly fast.

I ran with my high speed gait to its extreme, and when I arrived at a certain point, I spent the rest of the time there practicing the rest of my speed gait.

The dark light became more secretive, the blinking light became faster, and the bright light became more ferocious. Training and training again. I put all my effort and concentration into it. For the time being, my martial arts goal was to become a master of Poongsinsabo.

According to the data sent by Tongcheongak, Cheonmyeonghoe caused several incidents in the Honam area.

The two places where recent incidents occurred were Yeongheung (永興) and Dong-gu (洞口).

In the past, I went to Yeongheung to investigate the case and track down Cheon Myeong-hoe. However, in conclusion, it was revealed that the Yeongheung incident was not the work of the Cheonmyeonghoe. This was done by those who imitated the Cheonmyeonghoe.

As a result, I wasted a lot of time in the past and belatedly went to Dong-gu to chase their traces. Because of that, I became impatient and missed clues that I should have found, and ended up failing the mission.

Of course, I made the right choice this time.

When I arrived in Dong-gu, I went straight to Wolpungmun (月風門) where the incident took place.
