Absolute Regression Chapter 668

Episode 668 Our time starts now

In the yard, preparations were in full swing to leave.
It was decided that everyone except Geommu-geuk and Geommu-yang would return to the main headquarters of the Cheonma Shingyo.
It was disrespectful to the Murim Alliance for so many of the Shingyo masters to remain in Muhan even after their work was completed.

Two people were watching the situation from a distance. They were siblings Kwak Young and Kwak Ju.

“I have to go back with them?”

They were brave siblings who had joined the Demonic Cult, but they were more afraid of returning with them.

“Even without that person taking my sister with him?”

That was even more regrettable for Gwak Yeong. It would have been nice if Geommuyang had gone with them, but he said he would come later because he had something to do.
If you think about it, the Grand Duke of the Heavenly Demon Sect is a more difficult and scary person than those demons, but she relies on him.
She was grateful to Geommuyang. Such a scary person was there to rely on them.

Kwak Young and Kwak Ju found out who those crazy people were. They also found out that the person who said they were crazy was the Poison King.

The Poison King?

The Poison King, who made even the most skilled swordsmen tremble, passed by them while joking.

They were all so precious that I couldn’t believe it. In my entire life, would I ever meet the previous leader of the Fengchun sect and the demons? There were four such people right before my eyes.

“You don’t think they’re going to eat us?”

As Kwak Ju spoke, someone suddenly spoke from behind.

“Even if you don’t eat it, you can use it as an ingredient in making poison.”

When Gwak Ju turned around in surprise, Geommu-geuk had already arrived.

“Have you ever been in a vat full of poison? You just get all mushy and you can’t tell if that thing floating there is your finger or your ear?”

Kwak Ju looked at Geommu-geuk with a surprised breath. It wasn’t because he was afraid of Dok-tong, but because of the identity of the person in front of him.

The leader of the Demonic Cult!

I didn’t know it yesterday, but I know it now. Someone more prestigious than those four scary people was talking to me.

Is this a dream? Yes, this is all a dream. It was like a dream from the beginning when my older sister, who was a master of the Moorim Alliance’s ironwork, said she would convert to the Demonic Cult.

“Which carriage are you going to take?”

Kwak Ju, who had been dumbfounded by Geommugeuk’s question, came to his senses.

“Ah, ah. We…….”

Kwak Joo looked at his older sister. Where would Kwak Yeong have decided to go?

There were now two carriages waiting in the yard.
The first carriage was for Ma-bul and Dok-wang to ride. The second carriage was for the Fengtian sect leader and the Seop-hon-ma-jon to ride.

“Who looks the best over there?”

Then, the four people who were about to board the carriage pricked up their ears.
Geommu-geuk was whispering to the siblings, but how could the four masters have ordinary hearing?
Moreover, Geommu-geuk was whispering to them as if he was conspiring.

Kwak Ju looked at them and whispered softly.

“Just by looking at the impression, the handsome guy over there looks the best.”

I thought I wouldn’t hear it, but I heard it all.
The leader of the Pungcheon Church frowned. He wasn’t so unscrupulous as to want to be chosen as the most handsome.

But if you’re a nice person! It’s me! When else would you use that generous impression?

“If you get on the first carriage because it looks good and you make a mistake? You know what? You’ll be screwed!”

Kwak Ju nodded with a tired expression.

“Then I’ll take the second carriage.”
“Yeah, that won’t happen there.”

I thought that was reassuring.

“But if you make a mistake here, you’ll stab your sister to death and then kill yourself. Do you see that grumpy, pot-bellied guy over there? You should be especially careful of him.”

The leader of the Pungcheon sect glanced over. I can hear everything, you idiot! Before he could shout, someone stopped him first.

“Stop joking.”

When I looked back, Geommuyang was standing there.

“You two, take that carriage and go back.”

The third carriage arrived there. The people escorting the carriage were the same Jidan warriors who had come with Geommuyang the first time. They were ordered to escort the two people to the main dais and then return.

Kwak Young and Kwak Ju were relieved that they could go separately from the Amazons.

“I’ve already sent word to you, so when you arrive, go to the iron room and meet with Craftsman Kwak.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”

There were many emotions in her eyes as she looked at Geommuyang. I liked it when she spoke carelessly without knowing her identity. Then I could have conveyed this boiling gratitude more clearly. It’s a pity.

So, Kwak Young and Kwak Ju walked towards the third carriage.
As the two passed by, Fengtian Sect Master spoke to the Sehon Majon.

“Usually, the person who saved your life is chosen first.”

At that moment when Kwak Ju was startled,
the Demon Lord Seophon matched the rhythm of his master’s last words.

“We do need young men’s blood as Dafa material.”

Oh my, Kwak Joo ran to the third carriage with a single scream. I knew it was a joke, but it was still scary.
Kwak Yeong followed with an awkward smile.

Geommu-geuk and Geommu-yang were looking at the scene.

“You take good care of him from now on.”
“My brother is taking him, so why should I take care of him?”
“You’re good at taking care of people.”
“I see you have talent for it, too.”

Geommuyang didn’t answer at all. This time, he saved the Gwak Young siblings, but he was different from his previous self. It was also an event that allowed him to confirm his own changes.

“I like you these days. I like you more and more. So I’m telling you again, don’t even think about going back to the old days.”
“…….”

Then the carriages set off.
Geommugeuk ran over and greeted Mabul and the Poison King.

“I’ll see you at the headquarters. And when you see the General, please tell him to get some rest so that we don’t have to worry!”

The two of them didn’t even look at each other as they talked about the poisonous plants.

“Your Majesty! You’re just being used!”

So the first carriage left, and
the leader of the Pungcheon Church was left in charge of someone else.

“The leader is taking care of our soldiers!”

The leader of the Pungcheon Church closed the window.

“Don’t pretend to worry!”

Then the door opened slightly and the Sub-Hon-Ma-Jon gave a greeting.
And so the second carriage also departed.

As the third carriage passed, the playfulness disappeared from Geommugeuk’s face.

“Welcome to our school.”

A completely different atmosphere than before.
Clear and deep eyes and an overwhelming presence that cannot be expressed in words.
Kwak Young and Kwak Ju bowed their heads respectfully.

“Thank you so much for accepting me.”

So the three carriages set off for the main building.
Geommugeuk walked out the door.

“I’m going to the Murim Alliance for a bit.”

The black sheep shook its head and spoke loudly.

“Is the Murim Alliance your living room? You can just come and go like that.”

A reply from the swordsman was heard outside the wall.

“You told me to come!”

* * *

The infinite distance was abuzz with two pieces of news.

First of all, the first news was the death of Cheon-ae Geosa Hwa-ryul-cheong.
When it was revealed that he was a villain who had infiltrated the Moorim Alliance, the Infinite Martial Arts were shocked.

The Murim Alliance made their position clear. They
announced that the person who directly executed Cheon-ae Geosa was the Murim Alliance leader, and that not only the warriors who escorted the leader, but also the warriors of the Destruction Corps had confirmed his evil deeds.

Hwa-Yul-Cheong taunted Jin-Pae-Cheon by asking, “Will the people of Murim really believe your words?”, but it didn’t have as big of an impact as he had expected.

Those who followed him with all their heart raised the issue, but far more people believed in the leader of the martial arts world and the martial arts alliance.

It wasn’t just Jin Pae-cheon’s martial arts skills that Hwa-ryul-cheong didn’t know about. He also didn’t know about Jin Pae-cheon’s strength, who had lived his entire life as a shameless leader.
It would take time for this situation to be resolved, but there wasn’t enough confusion to cause problems.

There was also a second piece of news that covered up that incident. It was the news that Jin Ha-gun had become the successor.
The Jeongpa martial artists rejoiced at the news. Many thought that Jin Ha-gun should be the next leader.
That is how much the Myulma-dae devoted themselves to justice and agreement in the martial arts world, ignoring their own lives.

The noisy streets were filled with talk of Jin Ha-gun becoming the successor, and a sword dance with bamboo sticks passed by.

The place he arrived was the headquarters of the Murim Alliance. Jin Ha-ryeong was waiting at the entrance.

She watched the swordsman walk towards her.

‘You saved us again.’

When I see him, I keep thinking back to the first time I met him. The more the meaning of the person called Geommugeuk grows, the more it becomes.
Geommugeuk has arrived in front of her.

“Is it all over now?”

At her words, Geommugeuk nodded his head.

“No! Our time starts now!”

Jin Ha-ryeong smiled happily, knowing that she meant to play together.

“Let’s go, Grandpa is waiting.”

The two entered the Murim Alliance. The place she guided them to was not the Maengjujeon. As if
an order had been given in advance, the guards they met let them pass without asking about the status of Geommugeuk.

The two walked together and talked.

“Aren’t you upset?”
“What?”
“You could have been the successor, too?”
“That’s something only ambitious people would be greedy for. I don’t have that kind of ambition. The granddaughter of the leader, and in the future, the younger sister of the leader. It’s hard for me to handle both of those roles.”

Geommugeuk knew that she had greater ambitions, but it was certain that it was not to become the leader of the martial arts world.

“Where is Ha-gun?”
“My brother is in the training center right now.”

Jin Ha-gun, who received the Emperor Sword from Jin Pae-cheon, was training alone. When he first received the training, it was important to properly master the lessons, so he would be confined to the training ground for a while. Right now, it was the most important moment for him.

“Good. In the meantime, we can prepare a celebration party.”
“Are you sure you want to do it?”
“Of course you should. My friend achieved his dream. Let’s make it small and just invite our friends.”

But they were people to whom the word ‘quiet’ did not suit them.

“I’ve already called everyone I wanted to call.”
“You should work hard.”

This gathering will be the place where the official successors to Jeongsa-ma gather.

Jin Ha-ryeong was genuinely curious.

“Isn’t this annoying?”

Even among the friends I gathered with, he was the most outstanding in terms of status, martial arts, and personality.
Do I really need to come forward and call him? I thought that.

“If I were just a little annoying, I could throw you a celebration that your brother would never forget in his life. But you’re saying you won’t do it because it’s annoying?”

At that moment, Jin Ha-ryeong had this thought.

Even such an outstanding person works so hard, so what can I say? I have to work even harder!

Of course, this also makes people feel confused.

“When should I start practicing dancing?”
“What?”

Jin Ha-ryeong stopped walking with a surprised expression on his face.

“We have to do a congratulatory performance.”
“No! No! I’ll die of embarrassment! Absolutely not!”

Of course, her rejection, as she had already become prey, would not have any effect on Geommugeuk.

“Then I can’t help it.”

This guy gives up so easily?

Of course that couldn’t be the case.

“Still, it’s a shame. You danced so hard on ordinary days. This is the most precious day in your brother’s life. You’re embarrassed and can’t do it? Even back then, there were many masters of the magic temple. This time, it’s just us. Your brother is a very generous person, so he’ll understand. When you get older and think back on today, you’ll think, “Oh, it was really nothing. Why did I do that back then? Why did I hurt your brother’s feelings? Ha-gun will shed tears of regret at his grave. It’s okay. Ha-gun will understand.”

In the end, Jin Ha-ryeong gave up both hands and feet.

“Oh my, really! I’ll dance, I’ll dance! Yes, I’ll dance until I collapse from exhaustion!”

Instead, I can’t be the only one to die.

“There is a condition. You and the other minor hero must dance!”

I thought that even though I would dance the sword dance, Bisain would never dance it. At that time, I had a rising anticipation that if he didn’t dance, I wouldn’t have to either.
As if there was a way to do everything, the sword dance smiled meaningfully.

“Of course, Sa-in-i will be at the center.”

* * *

Jinpaecheon was waiting deep inside the inner garden.
Before they arrived here, Jinharyeong had already returned. He said he could no longer enter. It was clear that only the leader could enter the place.

Jinpaecheon turned his back and looked up at the sky.

“This time, the leader gave me another great lesson.”

Jinpaecheon waited silently for Geommugeuk’s next words.

“Once you’ve made up your mind, do it right away.”

It was a remark made about the fact that he had immediately done what he had decided to do as his successor.
Jin Pae-cheon spoke calmly, still looking up at the sky.

“The time to do something is now! I’ve believed that my whole life.”

The Geommu Theater stands next to Jinpaecheon.

“I will also keep this in mind and live my life.”

At those words, Jin Pae-cheon, who had been looking up at the sky, finally turned his gaze towards Geommu-geuk.

“You should live a little while putting it off.”

Geommugeuk smiled at Jinpaecheon’s joke telling him not to get stronger.
Jinpaecheon’s expression towards Geommugeuk was gentle.

“If it weren’t for you, not only the main sergeant, but also me and the lower sergeant would have been in big trouble.”
“You never know what will happen in the future. The lord would have realized it at the crucial moment.”
“Would that really have happened?”

Although I said it in a negative sense, I believed that was what the swordplay was like.

“Yes, I’m sure he did.”
“Why are you so sure?”
“Because the leader’s crisis instinct definitely wouldn’t have let it go. It would have definitely kicked in when a real crisis came.”

This is why. This is why you can’t just let it go. Because the other person is this kind of person. You can get over your crisis instinct, but you can’t get over this.

“I am a person who is sure of my debt. I owe you a debt, so I must repay it.”

Jinpaecheon took a step, and Geommu-geuk followed quietly behind him.
After walking a little further, a foggy place appeared.
Geommu-geuk could see that a formation had been laid out.

If it was a method of protecting a precious place, it would be impossible for him to tell me the method of destruction.
At that moment, I thought I should close my eyes and follow.
Suddenly.
The fog made a path on its own. I don’t know what the principle is, but the fog made a winding path. It went forward, then sideways, and forward again. Perhaps the fog only opens a path for Jinpaecheon.

There was no need to step or skip anywhere. All I had to do was walk where the fog guided me.

When I emerged from that long foggy path, a huge door appeared before my eyes.
On it was written in bold letters where this place was.

Martial Arts Treasure House.
