Absolute Regression Chapter 643

Episode 643 It’s okay if it’s right or wrong

Who do you think you wouldn’t be able to bear if they died?

Jinpaecheon couldn’t answer easily. It wasn’t because he had never thought about it.

Losing someone precious.

He was the one who felt the deepest sorrow over this incident. People try to forget sad things, but how can they forget the child buried in their hearts?

So, the worries that tormented him countless times throughout his life.

What if I lose my grandchildren too?

How could Geommu-geuk not know that feeling?
He had previously had a frank conversation with Jinpae-cheon about the deaths of his son and his wife, so he understood that feeling better than anyone else.

He knew that his question would bring up his past wounds, but he had to do it.
They were dealing with a vile enemy who only looked for wounds and stabbed at them.
He knew that his question was too inconsiderate for the leader.

“Just tell me the first person that comes to mind.”

Jinpaecheon had no intention of answering. He had already told this young cult leader what he wanted to say and what he didn’t want to say today.

“Do you really think they’re coming to kill my people?”

Geommugeuk nodded resolutely.

“Yes, I think so.”
“Why are you so sure?”
“Because I can’t find any other reason.”

Could this be the reason? I wish I could say it like this, but Jinpaecheon couldn’t find any other reason.

“I would rather they come to kill me or my brother.”

But that wasn’t the case. If the intention was to kill himself, So Jeong-rak’s actions would have been different.

A name that did not come from Jinpaecheon came from Geommugeuk.

“Where is Lady Jin now?”

The next moment!
A powerful prayer came out from Jinpaecheon’s body.

Chaaaaaaaah!

The bamboo trees tilted at the same time as Jinpaecheon’s prayer stretched out in all directions.
Geommu-geuk’s hair and the hem of his clothes fluttered violently as if they would be blown away by the storm.
It was a terrifying prayer as if he would draw his sword and cut at any moment.

Step step step step step step step step step step!

The escort drones who sensed Jinpaecheon’s prayer flew towards the place and landed. The prayer extended even to them who were guarding the outside of the bamboo forest.

Jinpaecheon spoke to his escorts.

“Find Haryeong and bring him to Maengjujeon.”

Swish swish swish swish swish!

Half of the escort drones flew away and disappeared from there.
Jinpaecheon didn’t question whether Geommugeuk’s words were true or not.

“Next will be Jin Dae-ju.”

This time too, whether these words were true or not was a question for later.

“Tell the True Lord and the Demon Slayer Corps that the Demonic Flame Army and the White Bone Demon Corps may be after them.”

Another escort drone flew away and disappeared from there.
Only then did Jinpaecheon push the escort drones away.

Jinpaecheon asked, taking back his prayer that was as sharp as a knife.

“Does that answer your question?”
“Yes, that’s enough.”

Although he appeared calm on the outside, Jinpaecheon’s mind was turbulent. When he thought about the safety of his grandchildren, he felt a fog gather in his head.

When the question was asked who would be the most unbearable if he died, it was an order that should have been given right then and there.
When Geommugeuk asked where Ha-ryeong was, he suddenly came to his senses.

“I have one more thing to tell you.”

This was also a huge shock to the leader. However, it was something that had to be told.

“Do you know about the So Jeong-rak of the Myungsim Hospital?”

When So Jeong-rak was mentioned, Jin Pae-cheon’s eyes turned cold. It was because his name was not one to appear in this chaotic conspiracy.

“I know him well.”
“What kind of person is he?”

Jinpaecheon became anxious. What on earth was he going to say?

“Don’t change the subject and get to the point.”

From Cheon-ae-geo-sa to So-jeong-rak. The leader’s trust in him could have fallen even further, but there was nothing he could do about Geom-mu-geuk.

“He is also one of the forces behind the scenes. He is also a master of poison.”

I thought there would be a violent reaction that seemed like it would explode.
Jin Pae-cheon, who had been quietly looking into Geommu-geuk’s eyes, turned his head and looked at the bamboo forest. His eyes were extremely calm.

“You’re not surprised.”
“What could be more surprising when my only friend could be my enemy?”

Although he said that, Jin Pae-cheon had complicated feelings.
So Jeong-rak was a doctor who did as many good things as Cheon Ae-geosa. He had praised him countless times and had met him many times.

But he’s also behind it?

It was so absurd that I wasn’t even angry.
The fog that had dispersed in my prayers began to fill my surroundings again. The surroundings were filled with fog again.

“Do you have any evidence?”
“I have the most convincing evidence.”
“What?”
“Yes.”

Jin Pae-cheon turned his head and looked at Geommu-geuk with an expression that asked what he meant.

“He read it to me directly.”
“!”

What more convincing evidence could there be than this? If you truly believe in the Black Magic Theater.

But what if that’s not the case?

“Isn’t this the most uncertain evidence?”

Geommugeuk only smiled faintly because he knew what the leader meant.

“How can you be so fine if you were poisoned?”

Geommugeuk let out a light sigh.

“You might be very angry at what I’m about to say.”

After laying the groundwork like that.

“The King of Infinity has arrived.”

It will be a series of shocks for the leader.

From Cheon-ae-geosa to Geum-ma-ryeong to So-jeong-rak to Dok-wang.

“Phew.”

The soft breathing sound of Jinpaecheon echoed around. Geommu-geuk could sense it. How much the leader was trying to control his mind right now.

Because the presence of the Poison King was a different matter from the presence of other Demon Lords.

“The forged secret note was laced with a strong poison. Since it concerns my brother, I asked the Poison King to protect him.”

The swordsman bowed his head respectfully.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you in advance.”

Jinpaecheon asked in a cold tone.

“You said you trusted me, so why didn’t you tell me?”

Geommu-geuk raised his head and looked at Jinpae-cheon. It was the coldest gaze he had ever seen since they had met.

“I decided that I had to move cautiously after learning that the Heavenly Master was behind it. Until then, I couldn’t leave the church.”

It was an excuse that told the truth, but the swordplay didn’t end there.

“At the time, I thought it was the best, but now that I think about it, I should have informed the leader first. I’m sorry.”

The sword dance conveyed the true feelings.

“To be honest, I was worried. The person behind this was someone who had been your friend for decades, and I was worried that if I spoke rashly, things could go wrong. In short, I didn’t trust you. I’m not qualified to tell you about trust.”

Jinpaecheon silently looked down at the back of Geommugeuk’s head, who was bowing down.
How much time had passed like that?

“I accept your apology.”
“Thank you.”

It was understandable to be very angry about the Poison King’s actions.
No matter what the circumstances, it was unacceptable for the Poison King to enter this place without his permission.
Nevertheless, there was a reason why Jinpaecheon accepted this apology.

“As I was looking at that ugly back of your head, a thought suddenly occurred to me. What if everything you said was true? What if you hadn’t told me these facts? Then I would have come to this without knowing anything.”

I continued to imagine things I really didn’t want to do.

“What if he didn’t know that Hwa Geosa’s friend was his enemy, So Jeong-rak was his enemy, and that No-ma, who broke the Geummaryeong, was coming to kill Ha-ryeong and Ha-gun?”

Jin Pae-cheon felt goosebumps running down his spine as he spoke.
Jin Pae-cheon asked with his eyes.

Is it all true?

Then, Geommugeuk, who had been serious the whole time, smiled brightly and said.

“If I were the leader, I would be so happy. I would dance in the middle of Magachon, thinking, ‘Heaven has given me the opportunity to protect what is precious to me.’”

The sword dance brought Jinpaecheon to the dance floor.

“So if we save Lord Jin and Lady Jin, won’t the leader dance?”

Jin Pae-cheon was flustered by the unexpected question, but his answer was firm.

“I should dance. What can’t I do if the kids are safe?”
“Yes, I will too. If what I say is true and if you save Lady Jin and Lord Jin thanks to it, then dance with me! It’s a promise!”

I couldn’t bring myself to say, “No, I didn’t make a promise!” while watching the smiling Geommu-geuk. Perhaps it was because the children’s lives were at stake.

“If my words turn out to be false, wouldn’t this be a golden opportunity to separate this dangerous demonic friend from your grandson? So be happy. It doesn’t matter if I’m right or wrong. Either way, it’s a happy thing.”

Jin Pae-cheon’s eyes deepened as he looked at Geommu-geuk.
Was it because of his clear and deep eyes? Or was it because of his blunt words?
When he listened to Geommu-geuk, his words all sounded true. Even his old self was engulfed in fascination.

“I have one last thing to say.”

Jin Pae-cheon made a bewildered expression at those words.

“After talking so much, do you have anything left to say?”
“There is something I really want to say to you, Lord.”

It was a word related to trust with Jinpaecheon.

“From now on, I will trust you, my lord. So, no matter what happens in the future, I will tell you everything so that there will be no misunderstandings. Please watch over me.”

The leader of the Demonic Cult says he believes in the leader of the Murim Alliance and asks him to watch over him. He asks him to dance with him. When you listen to him, you get the feeling that he is someone who will keep his word.
That is why he emphasizes to his grandson over and over again to be careful.
And at that moment, Jin Pae-cheon thought to himself.

‘Let me be careful first.’

Geommu-geuk politely greeted and turned around.
As he was going down the pavilion, Jinpae-cheon spoke calmly from behind.

“nevertheless…….”

Geommugeuk stopped walking and looked back at him.

“I hope everything you say isn’t true.”

Geommugeuk answered seriously to those half-serious, half-joking gazes.

“No, I hope everything I say is true. If it’s not true… then that means I’m the enemy.”

Geommugeuk added with a light sigh.

“Isn’t that a problem in its own right?”

When Geommugeuk returned to his residence, he called his brother and the two demons together.

“I told the leader that Jin So-jeo and Jin Dae-ju would be his targets, but there is one more person I am thinking of.”

Mabul read Geommugeuk’s mind and pointed to one person.

“A great miracle?”

Geommugeuk nodded his head in confidence.

“Yes, I think he is number one.”

The reason was easy to guess. If he were to die at the hands of Mine, there would be a great conflict between the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Murim Alliance.

“But why is he first? I think the death of a blood relative would be more shocking to the leader.”

Geommu-geuk nodded at Geommu-yang’s words.

“Yes, the shock is incomparable.”
“But why? Is it because Cheon-ae Geosa is more respected by the warriors?”
“In that respect, the aftermath of Jin Daeju’s death will be significant. Think about it, it was none other than the Demon King who was killed by the warriors of our sect. In terms of symbolism, it may not be as great as Cheon-ae Geosa’s, but the warriors of the Jeongpa will rise up like wildfire after his death. And he’s the grandson of the leader?”
“But why is Cheon-ae Geosa the first?”

This was the reason why Geommugeuk made this judgment.

“For the sake of the lord’s cause.”

Geommugeuk knew Jinpaecheon’s personality well.

“Can the leader really start a war because his own blood relative died?”

He is the one who has dedicated his life to justice and righteousness in the martial arts world.

“A person who has lived for the sake of the people of the Jeongpa clan, can he drive them to death just because his own blood relatives have died? With such a noble character? It would be easier if it were someone else.”

On the other hand, what if the great master dies?

“A person respected by all the members of the political party died at the hands of Mine. If we tolerate this, we will only be criticized.”

Only then did everyone nod. If the goal was to divide the Cheonmasin Church and the Jeongpa, then it would be right for Cheon-ae Geosa to be the first priority.
However, there was this question.

“Even so, are you really going to sacrifice someone you’ve raised for decades?”

Geommu-geuk answered Geommu-yang’s question.

“That would be more meaningful. If the Great War of Magic breaks out due to the sacrifice of just one person.”

The sword dance added another possibility to it.

“What if there is more than one death? What if Cheon-ae-geosa dies and Jin So-jeo dies? What if Cheon-ae-geosa dies and Jin Dae-ju dies? Or what if all three die? Not only will the lord be angry, but no one will be able to stop the outbreak of the Demonic War.”

No matter how crazy the mind is, no master would do something like this. But what if they have nowhere to go?

There was a moment of silence.
Mabul, who had been listening to the brothers’ conversation, asked.

“How are you going to deal with it?”

Mabul didn’t know how fortunate it was that the subject of this question was Geommugeuk. He had never thought of the things Geommugeuk had thought before.

“We have to deal with them one by one.”

The sword dance had already decided on its first target.

“Who on earth can free the Golden Horse from the Golden Horse’s bonds here in Infinity?”

Then the Poison King answered briefly as if there was nothing to think about.

“So Jeong-rak.”

The same thought was also in the sword dance theater. It must have been So Jeong-rak who had previously revealed the great law to save the king who had been poisoned by the poison king.
At that time, the dark king had said. He had revealed the great law many times and saved him. Being able to reveal the great law meant that he could also break the ban on the golden horse.
Whether he had done it alone or there was someone else, it was certain that So Jeong-rak was at the center of it.

“Since you have dared to challenge the Poison King, I will deal with So Jeong-rak first.”

They all seem separate, but in this case, they are all organically connected. And what if one of them breaks?

“When the golden elixir of the Golden Horse cannot be lifted, what will happen to the two Normas?”
