Absolute Sword Sense Chapter 299

<Episode 98: To the Martial Arts Federation>

A room with only one lamp on.

Someone wearing a bamboo hat and black cotton swabs came in, leaning on a cane.

And then he found a person carrying a backpack in front of a bookshelf and asked.

“He sent you?”

Inyoung answered the question without even looking back.

“Yes.”

Someone in the black cotton robe who heard the voice immediately recognized who the black figure was.

“You came in person…..”

“There’s no need to make the editorial long. How did that go?”

In response to Inyoung's question, someone from the cotton mill answered, sitting on a chair with a cane in his hand.

“A variable has arisen.”

“Variable?”

“The battle between the former leader and the vice-leader was fought over, but Bukyungdoseong recommended Sogeomseon as the leader candidate.”

“A small sword?”

The black figure carrying the luggage on his back couldn't hide his doubts.

Then he continued speaking.

“That person’s whereabouts are probably unknown.”

The last time he appeared was at the guest house, when he had a brief duel with the King of Kings, Jin-gyun.

Since then, his tracks have completely disappeared.

In response to his words, the black cotton man asked.

“So, is it possible that he has reappeared?”

“I don’t know. He ordered me to follow all the paths of the Sogeomseon, but it disappeared into thin air seven months ago.”

“It’s a situation where you can’t be sure.”

“Yes, but there is no change to the plan.”

“Heh heh heh.”

The black cotton man laughed at these words of the black shadow.

And then he said.

“That’s good. I was going to try using this variable anyway.”

"check?"

“The fact that he recommended the Sogeomseon, whose whereabouts had been unknown until now, may be related to that person from Bukyungdoseong.”

“I see.”

“So we decided to proceed without announcing the election of the next leader.”

“There must have been some backlash?”

“If we elect a leader publicly, the Blood Cult might interfere, so we have to keep everything secret.”

“That’s a good idea.”

If that happens, we can reduce all manpower to just monitoring one person in Bukyungdoseong.

This will reveal what kind of relationship he and Sogeomseon have.

“But I don’t think I came here just because of the progress of this work.”

“We need additional stocks for Sacheondangga.”

“Sacheondangga?”

The second son of the Sacheon Dang family.

He was the 9th elder of the current martial arts alliance and the best poison master of the Jeongpa.

“How?”

“A lot of the extra magic poison was used up brainwashing that guy.”

The black cotton man couldn't hide his surprise at those words.

“So, has that finally succeeded in brainwashing you?”

“Yes. But because of that, we now have a shortage of magic poison.”

“…….It seems like I failed to steal the bloodline.”

The person who created the magic poison was none other than the Blood Lord.

He tried to seize the blood pearl by taking advantage of the recent martial arts alliance suppression war, but failed.

“It would be better if you or Seolbaek moved…."

“There is no need for that anymore.”

“How come there is no need for that?”

“The bloodline is dead.”

“This can’t be happening… If that’s the case, then the recipe for the magic poison has really been lost.”

Only the Blood Lord knew the exact recipe for the poison, and if the seizure failed, a countermeasure was needed.

The black cotton man clicked his tongue and said.

“If I did that, Galju would die too.”

"no."

“Did you manage to escape successfully?”

“Yes.”

“Thank goodness there was so much power loss. So, do you know who killed the Blood Lord?”

“Blood by blood.”

“Ugh… Not only the short swordsman, but that blood demon guy keeps getting in the way.”

Even without that, the existence of the Blood Demon was beginning to become irritating due to the defeat in this expedition.

If everything had gone as planned, the Blood Cult should have moved as they wished.

“No matter what, just like the Musangseong, the Blood Cult ultimately failed.”

“Why do you think it was a failure?”

“I thought you wouldn’t touch the bloodline to detoxify Baekryeonha, but if you killed him anyway, doesn’t that mean you gave up on her? If you couldn’t secure Baekryeonha, then moving the bloodline-oriented bloodline-oriented bloodline….”

“Hoo hoo hoo.”

“Why are you laughing like that?”

“You lost the bloodline, but it seems like you failed to secure the Baekryeonha?”

“What is that?”

Then the black shadow spoke in a meaningful voice.

“Nothing is more swayed than a woman burning with vengeance.”

* * *

-Rumble! Rumble!!

Inside a rocking carriage.

There was a red-haired woman with her eyes covered by a thick cloth.

She turned white right away, with dark veins showing on her facial skin.

In front of Baekryeonha, a middle-aged man covered in wounds was sitting with his arms crossed.

Why is she, who should be in the blood sect, riding in a carriage with a stranger?

The middle-aged man who had been staring at her with his eyes covered opened his mouth.

“I will arrive shortly.”

“Ahhhhhh……”

The middle-aged man clicked his tongue inwardly at her inability to speak properly.

'The side effects of the magic poison are quite scary.'

Even though she was so broken, she was a woman with a strong will.

If she hadn't risked her life to help him escape from the underground prison, he would have ended up in the same situation as the Blood Lord.

'She's a great woman.'

When I first saw him, he seemed to have no will to live.

But having lost her own person, she became the embodiment of revenge.

It would have been a disaster if that revenge had been directed at them, but she was only burning with anger towards the Blood Demon of her time.

'The death of the bloodline has been restored to its original state.'

If the bloodline had been alive, things would have been different.

However, she believed that it was all the fault of the Blood Demons of the time that she had lost someone precious to them due to bloodshed.

He thought that keeping his bloodline alive was what caused all this.

'It's strange that the legitimate successor wouldn't be angry when everything was taken away by collateral branches or people of low birth.'

She passed on some pretty useful information.

This means that those who hold power in the blood cult have low legitimacy.

It was even said that the blood horse of that time had a great secret.

He also told me that if it became known, it would be a huge blow.

But he didn't tell himself that much.

[Please let me meet the top line.]

That was her demand.

As someone addicted to magic and in a weak position, she had a clear understanding of her own utility.

That is why they try to contact their superiors to get what they want.

'You don't know him.'

Unfortunately, he is not easygoing.

Even though I don't know, I will completely brainwash her by injecting her with more magic poison.

If that happens, the secret of the blood demon will naturally be revealed.

'I wish I had figured this out myself.'

It was a pity.

But this seems to be enough.

At least we succeeded in taking over Baekryeonha.

'Will this give me the chance to receive the treatment of immortality?'

A significant number of those who followed the organization were hoping for this.

The ultimate goal was to achieve immortality by setting up a ball.

“Ahhhhh…..”

-Clang!

Baekryeon-ha frowned and held her head as if in pain.

Then, I was caught in the chains on both my hands and couldn't move.

'The poison must be painful.'

She complained of pain every moment.

It seemed like he was suffering from a severe headache due to the poison.

“Just bear with it for a moment.”

She was in a state where, for the sole purpose of protecting her, her body was ruined, and needles were inserted into the seven major acupoints and her hands and legs were restrained so that she could not move.

She can never escape their grasp.

The carriage carrying her in such pain soon entered a magnificent manor that resembled a palace.

The carriage stopped and a middle-aged man led her out, blindfolded.

“Thank you for your hard work. Let’s go.”

Outside, there were a lot of unmanned vehicles waiting.

A gray-haired old man who seemed to be the leader of them greeted him.

He, who was called Galju, said something to the old man through a telegram.

Then the old man nodded.

“Follow me.”

A middle-aged man called Galju supported Baekryeonha, who was blindfolded, at the old man's words.

“Ah …

“You will soon be able to see the person you desire.”

“Ugh.”

At this, Baekryeonha nodded.

They passed several pavilions and entered the three-story main temple building.

They entered the main church building, went down to the basement instead of the upper floor, and soon entered a room.

There was a table and two chairs in the room.

And on the table there were several sheets of paper piled up, and next to them were some writing brushes and ink.

Galju said as he sat Baekryeonha down in front of him.

“Please wait a moment.”

Baekryeonha nodded.

And soon after, the sound of someone entering the room was heard.

The door opened and a woman in a purple fur coat wearing a bamboo hat appeared.

The hair coming down between the bamboo leaves had a silvery tint.

Galju, who saw her, showed courtesy.

A silver-haired woman wearing a stern hat, as if pretending not to see anything, sat down across from Baekryeon-ha.

Baekryeonha opened her mouth.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh…..”

Then Galju said:

“The poison has had such a big effect on my brain that I can’t speak properly.”

“I guess you can write.”

“Communication is possible like that.”

“Give me a brush.”

At her command, Galju silently took the ink and lifted Baekryeon-ha's bound hand and held the brush.

As Baekryeonha picked up her brush, a silver-haired woman wearing a bamboo hat spoke.

“You said you wanted to see the upper line?”

In response to her words, Baekryeonha wrote with a brush with trembling hands.

Since I wrote it blindfolded, the writing was garbled, but not so much that it was unreadable.

[Are you the highest level of this organization?]

In response to her words, a silver-haired woman wearing a hat spoke with an expressionless face.

“Let’s say it’s closest to the top line.”

At those words, Baekryeonha waved her brush.

[You asked for the top line, didn't you?]

The silver-haired woman snickered at her handwriting.

“You are not the person I want to see.”

-Swish swish swish!

[Then I have nothing to say.]

"what?"

[We have made a promise to the highest level and have decided to make an agreement with that person.]

The corners of the silver-haired woman's mouth twisted at her handwriting.

Galju stuck out his tongue at the sight.

In the end, I ended up getting on her nerves.

'Why did this person have to come?'

She was a woman of action rather than words.

As the silver-haired woman raised her hand, someone came in carrying a tray.

Inside was a small incense burner, filled with bedding and a thick black liquid.

The silver-haired woman said as she placed it on the table.

“Let’s just say that opening your mouth voluntarily isn’t the only way.”

Baekryeonha wrote with a brush stroke in a threat that wasn't a threat.

[Are you trying to force me to open my mouth?]

“You understand well.”

Baekryeon-ha let out a deep sigh at her words.

The silver-haired woman said with a snort.

“Let me ask you one last time. What is the secret of the Blood Demon?”

Her hand was already reaching for the bedding placed in the small incense burner.

If you didn't answer, I was going to stab you in the head with a needle right away.

Baekryeonha picked up the brush with trembling hands.

"I guess you didn't want to be forced to open your mouth."

The silver-haired woman chuckled.

And when I looked at the book to see what the secret of the Blood Horse was, there were only two letters written on it.

[Snow White-Snow White]

'!?'

The eyes of the silver-haired woman seen through the bamboo grove grew wide at this.

What was written in the book was none other than his own name.

She was Seolbaek, one of the three confidants who served the king.

“…….How do you know me?”

Galju also couldn't understand English.

It was incomprehensible that Baekryeon-ha, who was blindfolded, could figure out Seolbaek's identity just by hearing his voice.

“Let me answer.”

When it came to solving these questions, Seolbaek's actions were quicker than his words.

She pulled out the bedding and tried to bury it in Baekryeonha's head in one breath.

That was the moment.

-Chaeaaeng!

Baekryeon-ha spread her arms and blocked Seolbaek's outstretched hand with the iron chain of the restraint.

"how?"

Galju couldn't hide his embarrassment.

In the first place, it was in a state of ruin due to the poison of the White Lotus.

Moreover, because the seven major blood vessels were blocked, he could not block Seolbaek's move.

Seolbaek spoke in a sharp voice, raising his voice.

“What are you?”

Baekryeonha opened her mouth to that question.

“Whew. It’s not easy to see the Golden Prize.”

'!!!'

Surprisingly, she was able to speak normally.

'Speak?'

Gal-ju, who had been with him until now, was so embarrassed that he was speechless.

But that was only for a moment.

What surprised them even more was the title of Golden Emperor mentioned by Baekryeonha.

“Subdue them!”

At Galju's scream, the unmanned people in the room tried to rush towards her.

At that moment, Baekryeonha's body began to tremble.

Then, sharp needles began to emerge from her body from various points, including the spine on her back.

-Papapapapapak!

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

The needles that protruded like that were shot like a magic bullet at everyone in the room.

The old man with the bald head and the red hair avoided it, but the others had their necks and heads pierced and died on the spot.

“Four years!”

Seol Baek, who easily dodged the flying spit, got angry and tried to throw a slash at Baekryeon Ha.

It was that very moment.

Suddenly, Baekryeonha stretched her hand up to the ceiling.

I don't know what you're doing,

-Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!

The ceiling shook and a loud noise was heard.

“What the heck is this…..”

I was wondering what was going on, when the ceiling pierced through and a sword was sucked straight into Baekryeonha's hand.

Seol Baek frowned and muttered after seeing the sword.

“Blood Demon Sword?”

It was definitely a blood demon sword.

However, the hilt of the Blood Demon Sword was stained with blood.

At that moment, someone hurriedly opened the door to the basement and rushed in.

“Oh, no! Suddenly, a sword swept across the entire estate, slaughtering everyone in its path… Ah!”

He was speechless when he saw the sword in Baekryeonha's hand.

The sword was here.
