Absolute Sword Sense Chapter 290

<Episode 94 He's Back (4)>

The headquarters building of the Wuhan Martial Arts Federation in Hubei Province.

He rushed into the vice president's office on the fourth floor without even knocking on the door.

“Grandfather!”

He was Jin Yong, the grandson of Jin Gyun, the King of Kings.

In the office, someone was already having a private meeting with the vice-chairman, Jin-gyun.

Jin Yong, who discovered him, frowned and spoke in a nervous tone.

“Lee Jeong-gyeom, why are you here?”

“It’s been a while.”

A young man waving his hand as if he was annoyed.

He was Lee Jeong-gyeom.

“It’s been a while!”

“Be careful what you say. As of today, Lee Jeong-gyeom of Infinite Swords has returned to his position as the head of the Cheongryong Party.”

Jin Yong's words were also interrupted by Jin Gyun of the Yeolwangpae.

Jin Yong then asked his grandfather, Jin Gyun, in a ridiculous tone.

“No. Grandfather. Wasn’t Lee Jeong-gyeom expelled from the main alliance along with the former leader?”

It was just as he said.

Baek Hyang-muk, the former leader of the martial arts world, was expelled on charges of learning the martial art of the Blood Cult leader, the Blood Heavenly Sword.

His disciple, Lee Jeong-gyeom, was also expelled from the Martial Arts Federation.

But he returned to the Martial Arts Federation.

Jin-gyun raised his hand to stop Jin-yong, who was about to ask further questions.

“Grandfather!”

“Where is this place, Grandfather?”

Jin Yong swallowed hard at the heavy voice of the fungus and carefully changed his words.

“…..Your Majesty.”

Lee Jeong-gyeom snickered as he looked at him.

'That guy!'

Jin Yong was furious, but he barely suppressed it because he was more afraid of his grandfather Jin Gyun's wrath.

The fungus asked him.

“Tiger Leader. Why did you disregard procedures and barge into my office without permission?”

Jin Yong said, feeling embarrassed at this question.

“Have you heard, Your Majesty? The Blood Demon appeared at Shaolin Temple, defeated the Hundred and Eight Arhats, and took the Moon Sword with him!”

“I know.”

“Then isn’t now the time to be doing this? Since Iljon, one of the two superhumans of the Blood Cult, has died and the Blood Demon has been injured, the leader…the leader of Jeongcheon has led the main force of the alliance to subdue the Blood Cult, right?”

"so?"

“So that’s why? We must withdraw them immediately and prepare for defense. This is a scheme of the Blood Cult.”

At these words, Jin-gyun, the leader of the clan and his grandfather, made a strangely satisfied expression.

I thought he was so caught up in his emotions that he couldn't tell right from wrong, so I was impressed by his ability to read the situation to some extent.

“But the leader of the clan must have heard this news before I did, so why didn’t he summon the soldiers and instead meet with this woman… no, the leader of the Blue Dragon clan?”

“The military is not from this side anyway. I thought you would know better. Haaam.”

Lee Jeong-gyeom said, stretching.

Jin-Yong, who was growing irritated by the guy's behavior, snapped.

“You’re back, what’s the big deal? Why do you keep interfering…?”

"stop!"

This was cut by a fungus.

Jin-gyun got up from his seat, carried his luggage on his back, and approached the Zhongyuan Jeon-do poster attached to the wall of the office.

Then he pointed to each branch of the martial arts federation with his hand and said.

“We informed the nearby branches of this situation and instructed them to gather at the headquarters.”

“You have already sent the order.”

“However, the forces led by the leader who has already advanced south, and the branches in Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian are in a standoff with the Blood Cult, so this information will not be sent.”

“Yes? Why?”

Jin Yong couldn't understand this.

Now that even the information about the Blood Demon's injury is unreliable, if the Blood Cult's main headquarters is empty, it would be like getting stabbed in the back of the head.

There was no reason to divide the forces into two.

Lee Jeong-gyeom said with a big smile.

“There is a reason for everything.”

"what?"

“This is an opportunity to determine whose leadership is more suitable for the direction of the current martial arts alliance between the leader of Jeongcheon, who ignored the majority opinion of the elders’ council and pushed ahead with the punitive expedition with his authority, and the vice leader who is carefully observing and responding to the situation.”

“How can you do that?”

“Because General Sima and Lord Bu told me.”

“…….”

I know that my grandfather, Jin-gyun, has been constantly looking for an opportunity.

Hana himself never gave out important information, saying he was light.

But when I thought about the fact that I had told this and that to Lee Jeong-gyeom, who I considered my rival, my heart grew cold for some reason.

'…….Did my grandfather join hands with the former leader?'

After his one-on-one meeting with former leader Baek Hyang-muk, Jin-gyun's actions changed.

He was becoming a sly snake, as if he had been in politics for a long time, rather than the grandfather he knew.

Jin Yong, who had nothing more to say, spoke somewhat dejectedly.

“Okay, then I’ll step aside…”

“No. This is a good thing. I’m planning to take this opportunity to reorganize the clan leadership and make it new.”

"yes?"

* * *

All the party leaders and vice-leaders remaining in the castle were summoned.

Namgung Ga-hee, the head of Bonghwangdang, and So Yeong-yeong, the vice-chairman of the party who had just finished their mission and returned, were also heading to the venue.

“You really don’t give me a moment to rest, psychic.”

“That’s right. If you keep working me like this, I’ll want to take a vacation.”

“By the way, why are you calling all the parties? Could it be that the remaining forces of this alliance are also being conscripted to suppress the Blood Cult?”

"that……"

“I don’t think that will happen, right?”

So Young-young smiled bitterly at Namgung Ga-hee's words.

I was already in a difficult situation after hearing that the Samun clan, Hyeongsanpa, was participating in the suppression of the Blood Cult.

The leader of the Blood Cult was his older brother, So Woon-Hwi.

If my own sect and the blood sect led by my older brother clash, I don't know whose side I should take.

I knew this would happen someday, but it happened too soon.

'Brother…are you okay?'

I have no idea where my damn brother went to get things like this.

A few months ago, a new member of the Open Door Movement, Jo Seong-won, came to him and asked about his brother's whereabouts.

Because of this, she began to suspect that something was wrong with her brother.

As the whereabouts of my brother as a swordsman became unknown, that gradually turned into certainty.

In the meantime, I was so worried when I heard the news that the leader of the Blood Cult had been seriously injured by Sal-heung Jeol-sim that I wanted to go see him secretly, but Jo Seong-won told me that he was not the real Blood Demon.

He said it would be the vice principal.

So Young-young asked him what on earth happened to her older brother.

He even threatened to reveal his identity if he did anything wrong.

Jo Seong-won informed us about this.

He said that his brother had been missing for over seven months.

'…….tooth.'

I miss my family so much that they disappeared again like this.

He was my older brother, more precious than my damn biological father or my adoptive father, whose face I never even knew.

As I was walking along the main street to the convention center, I ran into someone at a fork in the road.

“The head of the recruiting party?”

One of Namgung Gahee's eyebrows rose.

There was a woman with a rather fierce appearance, wearing a white and yellow light uniform.

She was Murong Hui, the leader of the Maehyang Party, another all-female party that competed with the Bonghwang Party.

She was also the younger sister of Murong Su, the leader of the Huanglongdang clan.

Mo Yong-hye also came over with a cold face, as if she had discovered them.

“I guess the mission is over.”

“Yes. I was nervous because I failed at Maehyangdang, but it wasn’t that difficult of a mission.”

Mo Yong-hye's expression turned cold at Namgung Ga-hee's ridiculous words.

Since these are two parties that clash so frequently, this kind of war of nerves has not lasted a day or two.

Mo Yong-hye, whose lips were trembling as if she was upset about being hit once, changed her target.

He turned his head towards Soyoungyoung and said.

“Phoenix is a fool. What a pity.”

"yes?"

“Do you know why I’m calling all the parties now?”

“They said they would use this opportunity to efficiently reorganize the party and elect a grand leader who would lead the young martial artists.”

“What’s so regrettable about that?”

This story has been told many times, so I knew about it.

I knew that this might happen after the new leader and vice leader were elected.

At this, Mo Yong-hye smiled brightly and said.

“If the unjust brother, Sogeomseon, is safe, he could take the place of the departed Vice-Chairman and become the Grand Clan Leader, but that won’t happen.”

"you!"

At those words, So Young-young couldn't hold back her anger for a moment.

Even without that, strange rumors were spreading because my older brother, who was said to have been recommended for the position of vice-chairman, never showed up.

So Young-young was certain that the origin of the rumor was Maehyangdang.

“Hold on, psychic!”

Namgung Gahee tried to dissuade her.

If a fight breaks out between the leaders and vice-leaders within the alliance, the one who strikes first will be punished.

Knowing that, it was Mo Yong-hye who deliberately led him.

'I'm unlucky.'

Both she and her older brother, Mo Yong-su, who was obsessed with power, were of the same breed.

So Yeong-yeong finally calmed down after coming to her senses thanks to Namgung Ga-hee's persuasion.

“You don’t have any guts.”

Behind Namgung Ga-hee, who was being dried, Mo Yong-hye deliberately gave her medicine.

At this, Soyoungyoung quietly pointed at her with her index finger and pretended to cut her throat with her thumb.

'!?'

So Young-young was someone who absolutely could not live without being treated like that.

At So Young-young's hand gesture, this time Mo Yong-hye's face turned red.

“Where did you get that little thing!”

“Who is that foxy bitch with the corners of her eyes upturned calling you a petty person!”

“A fox? This little girl!”

Just then someone appeared and urged them on.

“In this situation where the Blood Demon has appeared in Shaolin Temple, what kind of disgrace is this that the party leaders and later leaders, who should be joining forces, are showing?”

He was the plum blossom white sword Hoyang Jinin of the Hwasan faction.

As the second elder of the Martial Arts Federation, he was in charge of managing the Dangdu.

At his appearance, Namgung Ga-hee and Mo Yong-hye were embarrassed and bowed to him.

“I see you, elder.”

But there was one person who did not set an example.

She was none other than So Young-young.

Hoyang Jin-in looked at her with a puzzled look, as she was not being polite.

Then Soyoungyoung asked urgently.

“What did you just say, Elder?”

“What did you say? They said the Blood Demon appeared at Shaolin Temple.”

“Is that true?”

Neither she nor Namgung Gahee, who had just returned to her mission, heard this news.

Not missing this opportunity, Mo Yong-hye said with a sneer.

“The Blood Demon appeared in Shaolin Temple, destroyed the Hundred and Eight Arhats, and stole the Moon Sword, one of the Five Evils. But you didn’t know about it? Phoenix Hall is so insensitive… What are you talking about? Are you laughing right now?”

Mo Yong-hye was dumbfounded.

I was trying to say something to make her laugh, but Soyoung's face turned red and she was smiling.

“Young lady?”

It was a situation that left everyone puzzled.

So Young-young couldn't hide her excitement, seemingly oblivious to this.

'Damn brother. If you were alive, you should have told me first that you were alive!'

* * *

Contrary to the order to cut off information, the opening of the telescope was quickly brought in by the power of the Martial Arts Federation led by the leader of the martial arts world, Mu Sang-do Jeong Cheon.

“Oh…so this is a diversionary measure?”

The first to confirm this was Peng Sa-yong, the head of the Habuk Peng family and the 6th elder of the Martial Arts Federation, who could not hide his bewilderment.

They had already left Hyeongsan and crossed Hyeongyang.

If we hurried, we could join forces with the five branches encamped on the border of Guangxi Province within four days.

This was a matter that needed to be decided through a hasty meeting.

If the rise of the Blood Cult Leader is a lie and this is a diversion, the main body of the Martial Arts Federation is in danger.

“This is a big problem, Leader!”

Elder Peng Sa-yong, who had hurriedly entered the main barracks, asked with a puzzled look.

“Where is the leader?”

“Why are you doing that, Elder Peng?”

Baek Wi-hyang, the third military officer of the Martial Arts Federation, was sitting at the top of the table where the leader should be.

Come to think of it, while we were moving south from Hyeongsan, we didn't see the leader of the Musangdo Jeongcheon.

“The leader must also know.”

“If it’s urgent, please let me know first.”

Eventually, Elder Peng Sa-yong informed him of the situation in Jeonseo-gu.

At this, Military Baek Wi-hyang muttered as if he couldn't understand.

“There’s no way that could happen, right?”

“How could that be? This is an urgent matter that requires discussion of a withdrawal. Please tell me where the leader is quickly.”

“The leader is not here.”

“It’s not here? What do you mean?”

Elder Peng Sa-yong was dumbfounded.

What does it mean for the leader of this large martial arts army to be absent?

To the bewildered man, Baek Wi-hyang pointed to the Zhongyuan map on the table in the barracks with her hand.

Peng Sa-yong frowned when he saw this and said.

“No? The power of the five branches has now entered Guangxi Province? This was not discussed in advance…."

“Of course it wasn’t mentioned. It was to keep it from being known to the main office or outside.”

“What is that?”

In response to his question, Military Baek Wi-hyang pointed to the vicinity of Muui-hyeon and said.

“The leader has already joined forces with the five branches that have advanced south to Muuihyeon.”

Elder Peng Sa-yong's eyes widened.

If this is true, it is something that even the Blood Cult could not have predicted.

“If it succeeds, it will be a great blow, but military….if the core of the Blood Demon and Blood Cult power is not in Yeongsan, what are you going to do?”

“That can’t be true.”

“Why are you so sure?”

Looking at the frustrated Elder Peng Wujin, Military Baek Wi-hyang smiled meaningfully and said.

“The blood horse is definitely dying from the fear sword.”
