Absolute Return Episode 336
Episode 336 I like the food my son-in-law makes.
Geommugeuk lay there for a while, looking at the falling snow.
I ran all the way here without stopping for a single moment, except for the time I spent recharging my internal energy in between.
Thanks to this, the speedboat broke through the limits of the ten-star great star and entered the eleven-star great star. It was the first step toward the twelve-star great star. How fast would the speedboat be when it reached the twelve-star great star?
Of course, what was even more delightful was the fact that he arrived on time. Geommu-geuk was grateful to the heavens. Thank you very much. He was also grateful to Jo Chun-bae. Thank you for holding on.
As if in return for the gratitude, the falling snow gently settled on Geommugeuk’s face, hands, and body.
Geommugeuk, who had been lying down for a while and looking up at the falling snow, sat up.
Until then, everyone there was looking at the sword dance that had fallen from the sky out of nowhere.
The swordsman straightened his messy hair. Everyone had a surprised expression on their faces, which were younger than expected.
Geommu-geuk looked at Jo Chun-bae. Tears were streaming down his cheeks.
‘That person is the standard for my magic. When no tears flow from that person’s face, my magic will be established properly.’
Jo Chun-bae couldn’t continue speaking properly.
“How… … How.”
Seriously, I never imagined that the Sword Dance Theater would appear here.
The swordsman looked at him and smiled.
“I came to see the owner.”
The moment he heard those words, Jo Chun-bae’s emotions surged again.
“I went to have a drink, but the door was closed.”
Jo Chun-bae was moved by the fact that the leader of the Demonic Cult had come all the way here for him.
‘Little Master!’
I had no idea what to say. I was just grateful, grateful again. He didn’t have to say anything. His tears and his expression were already enough of an answer.
Pyodu Gongchan, who had tried to cut off the tongue, came forward.
“Who is Sohyeop?”
If he knew the tavern owner, he would be nothing special, but this young man’s appearance was too noisy.
At first, I thought it fell from the sky. It was a shock that would have seriously injured even a skilled person, but on the outside, it looked fine. How on earth?
The problem was that the opponent didn’t seem to have any martial arts experience. There was no way he could have reached the level of Banbakguijin at such a young age.
Instead of answering Gongchan’s question, Geommugeuk walked towards Jo Chun-bae’s mother-in-law, Lady Yoon, who was lying face down on the floor.
“Get up, mother. Your sons-in-law will be fine now.”
Geommu-geuk raised up Yun, and also raised up Yang-in and Yang-seon.
“Let me formally introduce myself. I am the leader of the Cheonmasingyo sect, Geommugeuk.”
For a moment, silence flowed there.
The moment he heard those words, Gong Chan was so shocked that he couldn’t breathe. The people around him were also so shocked that they couldn’t say anything.
Clang.
One of the spectators was so surprised that he dropped his sword, but no one paid him any attention.
If Jo Chun-bae hadn’t said earlier that the leader of the Demonic Cult wouldn’t leave them alone, everyone would have thought he had misheard them or was crazy.
But the leader of the evil cult that Jo Chun-bae spoke of really fell from the sky.
Of course, Gongchan didn’t believe it.
“That’s a lie! There’s no way the leader of the Demonic Cult would come here alone like that!”
His clothes were dirty with dirt, his whole body was soaked with sweat, and his hair was disheveled. No one could tell that he was the leader of a demonic cult.
The sword dance explained this to the three women.
“I hope you understand that I look bad because I came in a hurry. I heard that the family of someone I like and respect was in danger, so I rushed here and ended up like this.”
He looked at Jo Chun-bae as if he was the person he liked and respected.
In normal circumstances, I would have handled the matter without revealing my identity.
But today, I revealed my identity for Cho Chun-bae. I wanted to show his family. That the leader of the Demonic Cult came running to save him. I wanted to show his wife, his mother-in-law, his sister-in-law, his brother-in-law. I wanted to show everyone.
This was Geommugeuk’s consideration and courtesy towards Jo Chun-bae, who had always welcomed him with the same unchanging appearance.
Because his feelings were conveyed, Jo Chun-bae clenched his molars again and suppressed his surging emotions.
“Mother, I like the food and drinks that my son-in-law makes the most. My father, who is the head of our school, also comes to eat my son’s drinks and cooking. He is a very precious person to me and to our school.”
Mr. Yoon was so shocked and touched that he didn’t know what to do. He looked at his son-in-law once, then the sword dance once, then his daughter once, then his son-in-law once.
Not knowing what to say, she just kept repeating, “This precious person, this precious person.” In fact, she didn’t know what it meant to be the leader of the Demonic Cult. She just felt that he was a precious person.
On the other hand, Jo Chun-bae’s wife Yang In was really surprised.
I heard a lot about the little cult leader from my husband. But I thought it was an exaggeration. He must have come to the bar, but is he really that close to my husband?
My husband said that the cult leader treated him like a friend. Oh, really? That really was happening right before my eyes.
“I meet the young sect leader.”
Yangin tried to bow down again, but an invisible force raised her up.
Yangseon, the younger brother, pleaded.
“Please save my husband and brother-in-law, please save them.”
After reassuring the three women with a smile, Geommu-geuk turned to Jo Chun-bae. Although he was talking to them, Geommu-geuk was emitting various streams of energy and was completely aware of even the slightest movements behind them.
By then, the two sectarians had been holding Jo Chun-bae’s arms, and Gong Chan had a knife in his hand. They were confused as to whether he was the real leader of the cult.
“He’s a fake cult leader!”
Gongchan came to his own conclusion. It was definitely a plot by Jo Chun-bae and that young man to save Jong-hak. He had fallen into the training ground before, but it was also because he had fallen clumsily due to his lack of skill. When he thought about it like that, it all came together.
“It used to be that only the tongue and hand were cut off, but now it looks like the balls will be cut off as well.”
The three women screamed as it seemed as if they would stab Jo Chun-bae in the neck with a knife at any moment.
Geommugeuk thrust both his hands out at the same time.
First of all, the amazing results produced by the left hand.
Whoaaaaah!

The two soldiers who had been holding Jo Chun-bae flew backwards. An invisible, rough force had blown them away.
It seemed like he just flew away, but it was a move that unfolded in a flash. In that short moment, the hands that were holding Jo Chun-bae were forcibly opened, and Jo Chun-bae was left where he was, and only the two people were blown away. Even the two soldiers who were blown away got up without any injuries.
The right hand showed a more surprising move than the left.
Teeing!
A sharp metallic sound was heard.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the knife that Gongchan was holding. The knife was broken.
Gongchan was startled and threw the broken knife he was holding onto the floor.
Yes, you can release tension to blow away the demons. But you can break the dagger with a hollow water?
Other people might have thought that the dagger had been thrown and broken, but Gongchan knew. Nothing had come flying. The dagger had simply broken.
When Gong Chan, who had been distracted by the broken knife, raised his head, the sword dance was already right in front of his nose. The moment their eyes met, Gong Chan’s body froze as he was overcome by an inexplicable sense of fear.
Only then did I realize.
‘You are a real demon cult leader!’
But I still couldn’t understand. The leader of the Demonic Cult came to save the inn owner himself? In this state? Alone? Why on earth?
As Geommugeuk took a step closer, Gongchan shouted in fear.
“Eww!”
The sword dance only lightly subdued his demonic blood. It did not beat him up or scare him. In any case, when the whole story of this incident is revealed, only those who will live and those who will die will remain. I can already feel which side he will belong to.
“Haven’t you heard? I’m the leader of the Cheonma Sect.”
The attitude of the sword dance was calm and polite. It was not because he was considerate of Gongchan. It was because he was considerate of Jo Chun-bae’s mother-in-law, Lady Yoon, his wife, Yang-in, and his sister-in-law, Yang-seon.
The swordsman looked around. Even though he didn’t emit any magic, the overwhelming presence he possessed made the demons’ hearts sag.
The sectarians threw the swords they were holding to the ground. And they lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze. It didn’t matter if he was a fake cult leader. They didn’t dare to attack such a powerful person.
Only then did Yoon, Yang In, and Yang Seon realize that the leader of the Demonic Cult had really arrived.
The swordsman spoke to the nearby soldiers.
“Please bring me five comfortable chairs.”
Without a word, the ushers ran to get the chairs.
The sword dance drama relieved Jonghak of his blood and demon blood.
“Thank you, thank you so much.”
Geommugeuk smiled at the moved Jonghak.
“Give thanks to your brother.”
Jonghak’s hot gaze turned to Jo Chun-bae. Jo Chun-bae had tried to save him even before the leader of the sect arrived.
“I really did well in this marriage.”
At Jonghak’s words, Jo Chun-bae and his family laughed.
After speaking, Jonghak coughed painfully.
After Geommugeuk quickly sat Jonghak down, he placed his palm on his chest and injected a stream of energy into him.
He was badly injured from the harsh beating, but fortunately it wasn’t a disabling injury. He will recover after a while.
After the sword dance was over, he took me to where my wife was standing.
“honey!”
“I thought you were going to die!”
“I’m sorry.”
“No, I’m really glad. I’m really glad.”
The family gathered in one place and hugged Jonghak and shed tears.
The townspeople all watched the scene. He deliberately did not let them go. He had to show that Jonghak’s name was cleared. Even if he left, these people had to live here.
So, Geommugeuk handled this matter carefully. Without letting emotions get the better of him, he was calm, composed, and certain.
Among the witnesses who were watching, there were those who knew the nature of Jonghak, the swordsman. They thought it was strange. It was strange that Jonghak had touched the object, and they also thought that the punishment of cutting off both hands was too harsh.
Meanwhile, the ushers brought chairs.
After placing the chairs in a row, Jo Chun-bae and his family were seated.
“Please sit comfortably over here.”
“I’m fine.”
“No, you can sit comfortably.”
I sat Yoon down in the most comfortable chair and then had the rest of the family sit down as well.
Jo Chun-bae sat down on the chair and his heart started pounding with another sense of tension.
At that moment, the woman sitting next to him gently held his hand. Her hand was also shaking. Jo Chun-bae tried to control his fear. There was someone he had to protect next to him.
The two men smiled and said this.
‘You’re awesome.’
Cho Chun-bae held her hand tighter. It was good that his life was saved, but it was even better that he was able to protect his family. It was also great that his wife and her family were recognized.
‘Thank you, Master.’
Geommugeuk said to Jo Chun-bae.
“Now, let’s hear what’s going on.”
Jo Chun-bae calmly explained the situation.
“My younger brother-in-law is a thief in this Hwangryongpyo country. He was accused of being a thief during this campaign and was in danger of having both his hands cut off.”
Jo Chun-bae told Jong-hak what he had heard when he met him. Since it was a sword dance that could predict ten things by telling him one thing, he was able to grasp the gist of it even with a rough explanation.
“So, it’s not that I touched the object, but my brother-in-law saw something and that’s why this mess started.”
Geommugeuk asked Jonghak.
“What did you see?”
Jonghak looked at Gongchan and said.
“I happened to see Gong Pyo-du secretly meeting a man. At that time, the look in his eyes when he looked at me was so sharp that I was scared. I thought that incident had passed, but when I came back from the trip, I had become a thief. No matter how much I think about it, there is no other reason to be falsely accused.”
“Did you know the person that Gong Pyo-du met?”
“No, it was the first time I saw him. But he had a big mole on his forehead.”
That must have been the cause of the problem. It wasn’t that I met someone, but that I met someone who had a mole.
Everyone’s eyes were on Gongchan. He was just glaring at Jonghak with a stern expression. He was regretting it.
‘I should have faked an accident there and killed him.’
The reason I couldn’t do that was because I had to report to someone in the office. I was told to never handle even the smallest things alone and to report them.
After that, handling work was also a problem.
He suggested that they kill him and his family as if he was being invaded by a group of bandits. But he said that if he was going to kill them, he should help the country. If he didn’t cut off his hand and stop the bleeding, he would die quickly, so he could kill the guy and restore the country’s discipline. He thought it was killing two birds with one stone.
Geommugeuk approached Gongchan and asked.
“Why would meeting someone make you cut off their hand? Who the hell was it? To be honest, I’ll spare your life.”
But I will cut off both your hands and your tongue.
Gongchan’s eyes shook because he didn’t know what the omitted words were.
It was just then.
The door in the signboard building opened and someone walked out.
“Please stop for a moment.”
The middle-aged man who appeared had a grand appearance and intense eyes. He was none other than Yu So-chu, the lord of the Hwangryongpyo Kingdom. For a lord of a mere pyo country, he was a man of great aura.
“I am the owner of the country, Woo So-chu.”
It was something that had not been done until now, but appeared at a crucial moment.
“A distinguished guest has arrived. Let’s invite him inside. Please come in.”
The sword dance was politely declined.
“That’s difficult because my people are here. Let’s talk here. It’s snowing and the atmosphere is nice.”
Usochu took the rejection of Geommugeuk as oppression.
“Even if you are the leader of the Demonic Cult, can you suppress the sect’s flag like this?”
“Oh, Hwangryongpyo-guk was on the Jeongpa side? I thought it was the Sapa side when I saw you trying to frame me and cut off my hand.”
Woo So-chu’s expression hardened slightly.
“If you touch us, the leader of the martial arts world will not forgive you.”
The swordsman looked up at him and smiled.
“Have you ever met the leader of the martial arts world?”
Woo So-chu had no answer. He had attended major events and seen him from afar. But he had never met the leader alone.
“I knew it. You probably say that because there is nothing. If you knew that you were going to cut off the hands and tongues of innocent people, your heads would have already been smashed by the hands of the leader of the martial arts world. Now, stop making empty threats and come down here.”
Geommugeuk walked across the snow that was just beginning to pile up, towards Jo Chun-bae’s family. He lightly brushed the snow off Jong-hak’s shoulder and spoke.
“You defend your people, and I defend mine. So let’s settle the issue on this pure white snow and see who is at fault.”
Still, Woo So-chu was looking down at the sword dance from that spot.
“I’m being polite, but it seems like you don’t understand the current situation. The person in front of you right now is a cult leader who almost lost his friend. So… … .”
The swordsman, who had been polite throughout, added softly and coldly.
“Come down when I speak nicely, Usochu.”
