Episode 279: My Eyes Can’t Fool Me (2)
Unbelievably, there were no scars on Elder Kwak’s wrist.
I was certain given the circumstances. It was something I couldn’t understand.
So who on earth is the culprit?
Around the time everyone was looking puzzled.
Taaa-!
Suddenly, someone started running frantically in the opposite direction.
“Executive brother Jeong Jeong-hyeon is running away!”
It was truly a race like a fierce battle.
His back, performing a light attack with all his might, was moving away at high speed.
Several mundos chased after him, but no one could catch up. No, on the contrary, the distance became even further.
Elder Kwak shouted urgently.
“That guy is the criminal, so catch him quickly!”
Yoo Seol let go of his wrist and turned her head to look.
But I didn’t even think about chasing it. Because the grandfather had already made the first move.
The sight of him running through the air was as fast as an arrow.
The disciples of Taeeulmun Gate could not help but be amazed by the amazing light technique.
“Wow....”
“Is that the void?”
“It’s really no joke.”
The disciples of Taeeulmun Gate were thrilled to see the hollow step for the first time.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between Yu Jin-san and Jeong Hyeon became very short.
And then one more breath passed. Yujinsan’s new form came crashing down on his head.
Tsk-!
It was the sound of Eugene-san’s front foot hitting Jeong-hyeon’s neck.
Eventually, he grabbed Jeong-hyeon, whose body was limp, and started to go back.
“You boasted that the culprit was not an insider, but it turns out it was you.”
“....”
He looked desperate, as if he had already given up on everything.
After a while, Yu Jin-san returned to his place and threw him to the floor.
dump-!
Yu Seol, who had been waiting, walked towards him and snatched his wrist.
“Stay still!”
Everyone focused their attention on his wrist.
After a while, the sleeves were rolled up little by little, and the wrists began to be visible.
As expected, there was a clear scar from being scratched by something.
Seeing this, the disciples of Taeeulmun trembled with a sense of betrayal.
“How could the execution of Sa....”
“Are you really saying that execution of Jeong Hyeon harmed Lord Moon?”
“Don’t even call that bastard a death sentence!”
Finally, one of the elders slapped him on the cheek as he knelt down.
slam-!
“How could you betray a monk!? “Can’t we hurry up and tell it!!”
“....”
Yu Jin-san and her granddaughter took a step back and watched the interrogation.
Jeonghyeon lowered his head and kept his mouth shut.
That sight made the other elders even more angry.
“He’s like an animal that doesn’t even know the grace that raised him!”
“You won’t open your mouth? “Okay then, first, I’ll cut off all of your limbs and veins!”
Abolish the Dan Tian and cut the limb muscles. That means being reduced to a ruined person.
That was the general rule of political factions.
But Jeong Hyeon, who murdered Munju, would not end there.
As the elder twisted his sword, someone suddenly blocked his path.
It was Bang Yu-cheol, the ambassador type.
“Just a moment, Elder Yeon!”
“Get out of the way.”
“Isn’t it better to listen to the content first? “I will talk to you.”
“He has already been found to be the culprit, so what more conversation is needed? And it won’t help.”
Jeonghyeon kept his mouth shut as if he wasn’t going to say anything.
The eyes were bloodshot and red with venom.
Bang Yu-cheol knelt down on one knee next to him and said.
“I can’t believe a priest did that. There must be something we don’t know about. yes?”
While everyone was booing, he was the only one who said warm words.
Is that why? Suddenly, Jeonghyeon’s pupils began to make earthquakes.
“Let’s go, grandpa. “I’ll buy you noodles.”
“OK. Even without that, I wanted to eat meat noodles.”
The elders of Taeeulmun Gate watched the back of the yin-yang twin monsters moving away.
No one could take their eyes off them until they were completely out of sight.
* * *
Joson was leaving Taeeulmun Gate and heading toward the village. It was to fill the stomach here.
“Grandpa. What will happen to those two?”
“Wouldn’t it be handled according to the rules of the clan? “He will probably be severely punished because he murdered the greatest of the four monks.”
“So we’re both going to die?”
“hmm. Elder Kwak will definitely be executed. And the guy named Jeong-hyeon is repenting for his sins, so if he’s lucky, it might be an extenuating circumstance. “At least the limb veins will be severed.”
At that time, Yu Seol sighed and looked back.
This is because Bang Yu-cheol, Taeeul-mun’s great brother, was following him steadily.
“Why do you keep following me again?”
“That...”
Yoo Seol opened her eyes and glared at him. It was as if his eyes were on guard.
“Are you here to get my loot back? I can’t give that back. “I already wrote it all down.”
It was a story about the eunja that I acquired from Bang Yu-cheol when I first met him.
Perhaps he assumed that he was following them to get it back.
At that time, Bang Yu-cheol waved his hand in a more polite tone than before.
“It’s not because of that. “I don’t need any money.”
Only now did Yu Seol’s face lose its guard. Instead, a soft smile was blooming in its place.
“Hi-Hi. “Then why did you follow me?”
Bang Yu-cheol, who hesitated for a moment, suddenly put his hands together and lowered his head.
“Thank you so much! “I feel relieved to have to greet you like this...”
Yu Jin-san, who was watching, waved his left hand as if to tell him not to worry.
“There is nothing to store. “We just caught someone impersonating us.”
“I... and I think I should tell you this too.”
“What?”
Bang Yu-cheol looked around and carefully checked to see if there were any eyes watching.
After making sure no one was there, I spoke in a whisper.
“Actually, the reason I followed you two in the first place was to report their location to the Murim Alliance.”
It was something I had already expected.
It may have been a plan to inform the Nambubunta of the Murim Alliance of the location of the Yin-Yang Twin Monsters and ask for Munju’s revenge. Of course, there is little chance of it being implemented.
Yu Jin-san said with a grin.
“I knew it. Then you could have come after us to surprise us. “The following was a bit excessive, so I just assumed there was a story behind it.”
“Ah... And there was also an order that came from Chongta. “If you find them, please continue to report their location.”
“Well, how can that only happen in a day or two?”
At that time, Bang Yu-cheol lowered his voice even further.
“Actually, there was information that I heard directly from Master Moon before he passed away. “They say an assassination team has been formed from the Murim Alliance to catch you two.”
I had heard something similar from Eunhwarin of Heukyabang.
Perhaps what she said was true.
It wasn’t surprising, but Jinsan Yu reacted as if he was hearing it for the first time.
“Well. They were planning something like that, so I guess I should prepare. “I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Anyway, I came to tell you to be careful. “I heard that among them are the Taegeuk Sword Emperor of the Shaman faction and the Hwaryonggae of openness.”
Mujin, a Taegeuk swordsmith famous for being the best sword among shamans. And even Hwaryonggae, the greatest expert on openness and successor to the Ark.
Both of them were fearsome figures who were mentioned as the top ten martial arts masters.
In the past, just hearing the name would have made you nervous, but things are different now.
On the contrary, I thought it was a good thing that they came to see me on their own.
“But is it okay to give us this information?”
“...Because this is the only thing I can repay you.”
Even though they were hostile forces, Bang Yu-cheol could not help but feel grateful.
I wanted to give something in return, but what could Jin-san Yu give since he had nothing? He was now broke.
Instead, I was able to promise at least one thing.
“If by any chance we end up in an all-out war with the Murim Alliance, I will spare Taeeulmun for your sake.”
“Thank you.”
Now it was time to fill our bellies and set off on a long journey.
At that time, Yoo Seol grabbed Bang Yu-cheol’s collar and asked,
“But you didn’t eat, right? Do you want to eat noodles with us?”
“I came out in a hurry, so now I don’t have any money...”
Yoo Seol smiled and waved his purse.
“I’ll buy it for you.”
At that moment, a look of puzzlement appeared on Jinsan Yu’s face.
Strangely enough, the granddaughter’s bag seemed heavier than before.
‘When did the war chest get bigger? In the meantime, who else did the loot go to...?’
