Absolute Regression Chapter 667

Episode 667 I Wanted to Run Away

“Brother! I came back alive!”

When Geommu-geuk entered the room, greeting her warmly, Geommu-yang was standing by the window.
Geommu-yang spoke without looking back.

“I heard everything.”
“What?”
“You’re badmouthing me.”
“I didn’t say that. My brother is so good at hearing things that he even hears people talking bad about him. So if you’re going to badmouth him, do it from afar.”

A faint smile appeared on the lips of the swordsman who had turned his back.
The swordsman’s sword hung limply like laundry hanging on a chair.

“Ah, it’s finally over! Okay, let’s rest for a while! I’m going to play, so don’t stop me! I’m going to play with my friends, play with the demons, and play with my father. Seriously! Don’t mention conspiracies, plots, or plots! Come play with me, hyung!”

Geommuyang looked back and examined Geommugeuk’s body.

“You haven’t even got a drop of blood on your clothes, despite having fought such a great fight.”
“Noble people like us fight nobly.”

Then someone opened the door and came in and said,

“Is that really the case? Or is it because you make other people fight and just stand back and watch?”

The face of the swordsman brightened. It was a welcome voice to hear after such a long time.

“Of course, his mouth wouldn’t have moved when other people were fighting.”

When Geommugeuk suddenly got up and turned around, he saw the Fengchun Cult Leader and the Seophon Majon entering the room.

“I missed you so, so much, Reverend.”

Geommugeuk ran towards the leader of the Pungcheon sect with both arms outstretched. The leader of the Pungcheon sect used his dharma and dodged.

“Don’t pretend to be happy. I know you’ve completely forgotten everything. You just looked at my face and thought, Who is it? Ah! It’s that cult leader from back then!”

The swordsman shouted.

“Then that Confucius comes!”

The leader of the Pungcheon cult once again used his magic to dodge the swordsmanship that was charging at him again.

“Stop! It’s disgusting!”

But contrary to what he said, the face of the leader of the Pungcheon Church was filled with joy. It had been a long time since he had joked and played around so comfortably, and it felt like something that had been blocked in his chest had been cleared.

While teaching disciples at Saewoo Pungcheon Church, was there anyone I could treat so comfortably? I missed this moment.

Yes, this is the taste. I gave up everything for this taste.

It’s a feeling of being able to comfortably express your feelings, and even if there are misunderstandings and mistakes in the process, meeting someone who will accept and correct them all.
It would be really lucky to have just one person, but I have two of those people.

Then another person came into the room and clicked his tongue and said,

“I fell for that joke.”

The person who entered was Ma-bul.
The leader of the Pungcheon Church and Ma-bul greeted each other with their eyes. The two people who had been on good and bad terms had somewhat recovered.

“Isn’t this kind of wit worth letting pass?”

Mabul couldn’t say no.
After he finished greeting Geommuyang and Seophonmajon, Geommugeuk asked.

“What about the Poison King?”
“He went to his room.”

He was the Poison King who would go into his room and spread out the poisonous plants he had dug up.

“I tried to bring the general back alive, but it didn’t work out.”
“Good job. He probably didn’t know anyway.”

The Geommugeuk formally expressed its gratitude.

“Thank you for making this easy. Thank you.”
“I didn’t come here because of you.”

Then Ma-bul looked at Geom-mu-yang.
Geom-mu-geuk now seemed to understand the feeling of Ma-bul’s unwavering loyalty to his brother.

Mabul had lived a life more lonely than anyone else since he was young. That’s why he knew. What loneliness felt like to a person.
Since he had been locked up in a small cave himself, he would know what loneliness felt like to his brother who had lost in the fight for succession.

“It’s okay. There are two people here for me.”

When Geommugeuk looked at the leader of the Pungcheon sect, he firmly shook his head.

“I’m sorry, but I came here to see the old man?”
“You’re too much!”

The gaze of the swordsman turned to the last remaining demon lord.
The demon lord smiled. Of course, I thought he would say that he came because of the swordsman.

“I wanted to see Master after a long time.”

Seophon, you too! She finally smiled at the sight of Geommugeuk’s gaze.

“I’m joking.”

How could the leader of the Pungcheon Church miss this great opportunity?

“Are you kidding? Didn’t you come to see me?”
“No. I came to see Master.”

The leader of the Pungcheon sect made fun of the sword dance.

“Life is meant to be lived alone.”

The swordsman walked to the window.

“Brother, can I borrow the window for a minute?”

Then, he pretended to be lonely and looked out the window.
At that moment, the Sub-Hon-Ma-Jon who was watching him felt something.

The back of the sword dance looked really lonely.

It was similar to the feeling I had when I saw the evil Soma standing alone on the roof.
It suddenly occurred to me that maybe that was why the two were so close.

The leader of the Pungcheon Church asked Geommugeuk.

“What about the old soldier?”
“I don’t know. Aren’t I a person who walks life alone?”
“The old soldier will walk alone.”

At those words, Geommugeuk turned around with a smile.

“We agreed to meet at the main campus. I said I would take care of some business and then come back.”

The hidden hero who could complete this task smoothly was none other than Go-wol. He shared all of Eun-wol’s information with Tong-cheon-gak and relayed the information to Geom-mu-geuk.

“I guess I’m still being overworked because of the ruthless leader.”

The sword dance did not deny that.

“That’s why I need you, Master. No matter how much I tell you to slacken off and work, you won’t listen to me.”
“How can that stubborn person listen to me?”
“But you listen to your Master better than me.”

After exchanging greetings with the leader of the Fengchun sect, I looked at the Seophon Majon. I could feel that the Seophon Majon’s prayers had changed a lot from before. She was no longer the same as before.

“Thank you for helping me resolve this issue. Thank you.”

Seophonmajon thought that Geommu-geuk was very meticulous. He never forgot to greet each and every person he saw. In a situation where everything was finished, he never missed anything that could have been overlooked.

“I think this was possible because the leader was there.”

She knew that the person who had orchestrated this whole affair and ultimately foiled the entire conspiracy was none other than Geommu-geuk.

In the first place, he was not supposed to be here in this infinite place. And he was not alone. The Poison King, the Demon Buddha, the leader of the Wind Heavenly Sect, the Grand Duke, and even the successor of the Heavenly Demon Sect were here.

The one who made this possible was that little cult leader. The future cult leader that I must serve for the rest of my life.

Geommugeuk was delighted at those words.

“As expected! The only person who recognizes me is the Lord Seophonmajon!”

After the tumultuous reunion, the leader of the Pungcheon Church asked quietly.

“How was it over there?”

What he was curious about was the skills of the martial arts leader.

“The leader’s skills are extraordinary, aren’t they?”

Everyone was curious, so they paid attention to Geommugeuk’s answer.

“I should tell my father to postpone the Murimiltong project.”

That was how strong it was.
The leader of the Pungcheon sect immediately shook his head.

“Your father is scarier.”
“You’ve never fought with your father or the leader of the martial arts world, right?”
“How would you know if you fought? If you had to fight a leader, you’d worry and wonder how to fight, but if you had to fight your father… Ah, I don’t even want to think about it. That’s the difference.”

The leader of the Pungcheon cult feared the leader of the Demonic Cult more than the leader of the Martial Arts Cult.

“Okay, let’s go back now. We’ll meet the poor soldiers who are being overworked.”

It was impossible for the Demonic Cult masters to remain in the infinite for long.
So Geommu-geuk sent him and the Demon Lords back first.

“You guys go back first. My brother and I have work to do.”

When Geommuyang made a face as if asking what was going on again.

“There will be good news from the Murim Alliance soon.”
“What news?”

Geommugeuk said with an incomprehensible smile.

“Since we’ve come this far, let’s give each other a proper congratulations before we leave.”

* * *

Jin Ha-gun returned to the Murim Alliance.
Seeing the blood-soaked appearance of Jin Ha-gun and the warriors of the Demon Slayer Corps, the warriors of the Murim Alliance respectfully greeted him and gave him a round of applause.

Because I know full well that that blood was shed to protect innocent lives.

Recently, Jin Ha-gun has been trying to change himself. As a result, his relationship with the warriors of the Mystery Demon Corps has deepened, and this change has made the Mystery Demon Corps a stronger organization.
The way people within the Natural Martial Arts Alliance view the Mystery Demon Corps has also changed.

After entering the civil war, he disbanded his subordinates.

“Go get your wounds treated and get some rest! You’ve really suffered.”
“You’ve suffered, my lord!”

So Jin Ha-gun headed to Maengjujeon alone.

I thought about my grandfather the whole way here.

I don’t know what kind of fight they had with Hwarulcheong, but considering their own fight, my grandfather’s fight must have been difficult as well.

In particular, Jin-hyu said that he would threaten his grandfather by taking him hostage. What if his grandfather got hurt because of that?

That’s why I trusted Geommugeuk more this time. I believed that he would protect my grandfather from being shaken.

Jin Ha-gun entered the battle of Maengju.

Squeak.

The moment the door opened, Jin Ha-gun instinctively felt that the air inside was different.
His heart began to pound.

Jin Ha-gun’s heart sank at the sight of the inside of the Mengjujeon.

The empty stomach.

If this was all there was to it, I would have thought he had left for a moment.
But dozens of warriors were lined up on both sides of the Grand Master.
They weren’t ordinary warriors. They were the leaders of the various organizations of the Murim Alliance.

First, the leaders of the four elite organizations representing the Murim Alliance
, the Blue Dragon Group, the White Dragon Group, the White Tiger Group, and the Red Sparrow Group, were standing.
They weren’t the only ones.
The leaders of the secretive elite organizations, the Cheonpunggak Group and the Bigak Group, were also standing.

There were gathered all the leaders of the Iron Cavalry and the Secret Shadow Corps, as well as the leaders of other organizations.
In front of them was even the commander-in-chief of the Murim Alliance, Jegal Hyeon.

Jin Ha-gun’s heart started pounding like crazy. He was even more surprised because his younger brother Jin Ha-ryeong was there too.

‘no way?’

Did something happen to my grandfather?
My steps towards that place became faster.

The leaders of the Murim Alliance standing on both sides were silently looking at Jin Ha-gun.

When Jin Ha-gun arrived at the Taesa,
the gate through which the leader entered opened and Jin Pae-cheon walked out.

The moment he saw his grandfather, Jin Ha let out a sigh of relief. The short time he had spent walking from the entrance to here was the most trembling moment of his life.

“Your Majesty!”

Jin Ha-gun looked at Jin Pae-cheon with trembling eyes.
When he saw his healthy appearance, a person’s face came to mind.

‘Thank you, Mugeuk.’

This time, show off your skills to the fullest. I’ll accept it all.

Jin Ha-gun greeted him politely.

“Jin Ha-gun, the Demon Destruction Lord, has completed his mission and returned.”

Jinpaecheon looked down at his grandson without saying a word. Jinhagun was nervous at the unusual look in his eyes and the unusual atmosphere. If his grandfather was safe, why did everyone gather here?

Soon, surprising words came out of Jin Pae-cheon’s mouth. Jin Pae-cheon was not a person who would put off doing something he had set his mind to.

“From this moment on, I will appoint Jin Ha-gun, the Demon Destruction Lord, as the next leader of the martial arts world!”

Jin Ha-gun opened his eyes wide because it was something he had never expected.
What his grandfather had just said was that he would be the official successor to the leader.

He was surprised and bewildered when the moment he had been longing for came so unexpectedly.

Jin Ha-ryeong sent a message to his older brother.

-What are you doing, brother!

Only then did Jin Ha-gun come to his senses and shout politely.

“Jin Ha-gun, the Lord of Demon Destruction, I will follow your solemn command, protect the alliance, uphold righteousness and chivalry, and uphold justice.

Then all the leaders there shouted loudly.

“The way of chivalry is the right way to lead the world!”

The voice that resonated loudly was full of spirit.

Jin Ha-gun was happy. He was so happy. He couldn’t tell how much he had been waiting for this moment. It was his dream since he was young to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and become the leader of the martial arts world.

Originally, the position of the leader of the martial arts world was not something that could be decided by the secular world or by the previous leader of the martial arts world.

According to the established rules of the alliance, the person who was chosen had to be approved by more than eighty percent of the leaders of the Murim Alliance, including the military commander, in order to become the successor. Whether they approved or opposed the decision was kept strictly secret, so the selection was made very strictly.

Jinpaecheon’s decision to postpone the selection of a successor was ultimately a wise decision. Jin Hagun had been active as a demon slayer and had steadily built up his reputation and reputation.
In addition, his character was acknowledged during the negotiation process.
Therefore, everyone had already made up their minds.

“Your Majesty, please go up.”

At the words of General Jegal Hyeon, Jin Ha-gun climbed the stairs and stood side by side with Jin Pei-cheon.

The leaders lined up all bowed in unison.

“Meet the next leader!”

Jin Ha-gun also greeted them politely.

“I sincerely thank you for looking up to me despite my shortcomings.”

Jin Ha-ryeong also congratulated her. Normally, she should have been polite, but at this moment, she wanted to congratulate her brother. She knew better than anyone else how much her brother had been looking forward to this moment.

“Congratulations, brother!”

Jin Ha-gun smiled brightly at her.
The leaders each congratulated her. Jin Ha-gun went down and greeted each of them, expressing his gratitude.

With this, the three successors to Jeongsa-ma have been confirmed. An official announcement will be made soon, and all of the martial arts world will know about this.
A grand festival will be held in the martial arts world.

* * *

In the battle of Mengju, where everyone has retreated, only Jin Pae-cheon and Jin Ha-gun remain.

“Hagunah, I have something to tell you.”
“I will listen carefully to your heart.”

I thought my grandfather would talk about the sense of duty and attitude that a leader should have, and about the peace of the sword dance and the martial arts world.
However, my grandfather said something I had never thought of.

“I had a wish that you would not sit here. I was half-hearted about it.”

Jinpaecheon spoke honestly about his feelings about the position of leader for the first time.

“This position is one that carries with it a tremendous amount of responsibility. It is a position where you must restrain your desires to the extreme and bear the burden of protecting the lives of countless people. Even if it is not your fault, the responsibility will be placed on you and you will have to bear all the blame.”

Jinpaecheon showed his affection and affection to his grandson.

“It may seem exciting and good, but that only lasts for a day or two. You have to live your whole life being conscious of other people’s eyes. You have to be careful even when you eat, and you can’t even curse at them. Because of the complicated relationships, you can’t even show your dislike for someone you don’t like.”

And the surprising truth is revealed.

“How many times have I wanted to run away?”

Jin Ha couldn’t believe that his grandfather had such thoughts.

“Those people who congratulated you earlier, if you give them this position, there will be more people who will run away. The more you know about this position, the more you will run away. It is not a position to be greedy.”

Jin Ha-gun could understand what he meant. Even being the leader of the Demon Destruction Alliance was difficult at times, so how much harder would it be to be the leader?

“Do you know how I overcame it?”
“How did you overcome it?”

Jinpaecheon’s gaze became intense.

“With strength.”

Jinpaecheon did not just give his grandson this difficult and hard position. He also gave him the strength to protect it.

“I will teach you the Imperial Sword!”
