Absolute Sword Sense Chapter 322

<Episode 104 The title of the best in the world (2)>

“Wouldn’t it be better to just eliminate political factions and achieve unification?”

'!!!'

The faces of the two priests, Baek Hyang-muk and Lee Jeong-gyeom, hardened at my words, which no matter how you take them, sounded crazy.

I don't know about them, but the truth is, I don't care what the political party is.

I was the one who died at the hands of the Jeongpa people before the return.

Besides, my biological father and maternal grandfather were from Musangseong, and I, too, am in charge of the blood sect, so I have no reason to be attached to the Jeongpa clan.

But there is only one reason why I want to leave the party alone.

-Is it because of Young-young?

okay.

If it weren't for Young-Young, it would have been easier to just destroy the Jeongpa.

However, since Yeong-yeong had enemies in the Hyeongsan faction and he himself was the vice-chairman of the Bonghwangdang faction and had an interest in the Jeongpa faction, he was able to approach them in such an amicable manner.

In the end, for the sake of that child, I want to place the Jeongpa under my control, not under the control of Geumsangje.

Baek Hyang-muk spoke to me in a heavy voice.

“…….It seems like the Martial Arts Federation, or rather the Martial Arts Federation itself, will collapse so easily.”

“As a former leader, you can clearly feel that this faction is no longer the one it was in its prime.”

“……..”

Baek Hyang-muk closed her mouth at my words.

With the death of the former military general, Zhuge Yuanming, the martial arts alliance had already changed from before.

It will be even more tangible for him, the former leader.

I pushed harder.

“If you really don’t believe it, you can try it. But you’ll have to pay a price for it, one way or another.”

Can one really deny this?

These are the priests who have already confirmed that the mountain has been created before their eyes.

If I set my mind to it, I can deal a serious blow to the Jeongpa Martial Arts Federation.

In addition, if the blood sect and the paired star move at the same time,

-You probably don't even want to think about it.

I guess so.

Just as the Blood Cult did before, this time the Jeongpa will fall.

When Baek Hyang-muk couldn't easily move her lips, Lee Jeong-gyeom spoke to me.

“Even if you become the leader, what would happen if the Jeongpa people found out the truth? Do you think they would still follow So Hyung?”

At those words, I snickered and said,

“We must prevent them from finding out the truth.”

“…….What do you mean?”

“If this hyung and his teacher, the former leader, help, it won’t be difficult.”

Lee Jeong-gyeom frowned.

I said it like I was some kind of great villain.

Then Baek Hyang-muk spoke to me in an uncomfortable voice.

“Do you think the old man and this child will help you?”

“Are you going to break your promise to listen to anything?”

"under!"

At those words, Baek Hyang-muk stuck out her tongue.

I guess he didn't think I'd use this as an excuse.

Lee Jeong-gyeom frowned and looked at his teacher, Baek Hyang-muk, as if he was unaware of this fact.

“Is that true?”

Baek Hyang-muk answered with a voice mixed with sighs.

“There was no choice. At that time, I thought it was the only way to save you and the Martial Arts Federation.”

At those words, Lee Jeong-gyeom's face darkened.

It seems that he thought that he had caught his teacher Baek Hyang-muk's ankle.

Lee Jeong-gyeom bit his lips and spoke to me.

“I misunderstood you, So-hyung. I didn’t know you had this side to you.”

“Like this?”

“Using other people’s weaknesses as an excuse…”

"joy!"

At his words, I snorted and looked at each priest in turn.

“The mistakes are serious.”

"yes?"

“Isn’t that the kind of thing that can be said without any shame under the sky?”

“What is that…..”

-Gooooooo!

“Huh?”

Lee Jeong-gyeom was surprised by the intense murderous intent that surged from me and took a bow.

It was the same with Baek Hyang Muk.

Like it or not, I told them.

“How many people have you killed with your own hands in the name of justice? Baek Hyang-muk.”

Baek Hyang-muk frowned at those words.

I continued talking.

“It was you, the Jeongpa, who destroyed the innocent and upright Biwolyeongjong, who had served in the government to isolate the Blood Sect, with a single blow.”

At those words, Baek Hyang-muk's eyes trembled violently.

Since this happened around the time the Jeongsa Daejeon War was taking place, Lee Jeong-gyeom was unaware of it.

There are more than a few people who have fallen victim to the dichotomy of political parties.

"that….."

Lee Jeong-gyeom's expression also hardened when he saw Baek Hyang-muk's face.

It must be because he recognized this as true from his reaction.

“In this way, the Martial Arts Federation, or rather the Jeongpa, drove countless people to their deaths under the pretext of driving out the Sapa. Can such authors talk about justice so carelessly?”

“…….”

“And Baek Hyang-muk, you also hid the Geopsal Sword to satisfy your own greed, and you even covered up the fact that your disciple Lee Jeong-gyeom was possessed by the Geopsal Sword’s spirit and killed countless people.”

The more I spoke, the more the priests' faces became thoughtful.

It must be mentally painful to mercilessly expose their hidden flaws.

I looked at Lee Jeong-gyeom and said.

“Lee Jeong-gyeom. Just because you’re possessed by a demon, does that mean the fact that you killed innocent people disappear?”

"I am……."

“If you follow the logic of the party, then I have nothing to say even if I kill you guys.”

With those words, I revealed the energy of my entire body.

A typhoon-like wind blew, shaking the forest and causing the surrounding area to shake.

'!!!'

The expressions of the two priests hardened.

I know full well that killing them would be an easy task if I put my mind to it.

The pressure must have been intense, but Lee Jeong-gyeom opened his mouth with difficulty.

“…….I won’t deny it. I never thought that what I did would go away. If I wanted, I could reveal all of this and give my life as an apology.”

At his words, I raised one eyebrow.

There was not the slightest wavering in Lee Jeong-gyeom’s eyes that could be seen as pretense or a lie.

“But why didn’t you do that?”

“How could that be, when I could not find the one who imitated me and killed people, and did not avenge the one who killed my teacher?”

“……..”

It was unexpected.

Was it because he had been holding out until he killed another murderous spirit who was slaughtering his master's enemies and people?

Somehow I can understand why he was so unmotivated in everything.

It seems that he had originally intended to take his life if he were to achieve it.

Baek Hyang-muk also had reddened eyes, as if she was seeing her disciple's true feelings for the first time.

I guess he's embarrassed by this situation.

He told me.

“How can I ask only my disciple to take responsibility? Even the old man will take responsibility with his life.”

But is this the essence of politics?

As I looked at them, I quickly gathered my energy.

And said.

“You can’t leave it like that.”

“What?”

“You must take responsibility.”

"responsibility?"

Baek Hyang-muk looked at me as if she couldn't understand.

“Do you think your lives are worth the cost of so much death and sin?”

“……..”

“The martial arts world I create will no longer be entangled in political affairs and will never kill each other.”

At those words, the expressions on the two priests' faces became strange.

You probably didn't know I'd say something like that.

Baek Hyang-muk, who had been speechless for a moment, spoke to me in a trembling voice.

“What is your real purpose?”

To this I replied briefly.

"coexistence."

"coexistence?"

“The current system should continue.”

“……..”

“The essence of martial arts is to cultivate oneself through martial arts and to develop through competition. It is not to use that as an excuse to harm one another and to satisfy one’s own desires.”

That is the essence of martial arts.

The goal should be to continuously cultivate and refine oneself through inaction.

It should not become a means to power and ambition.

Baek Hyang-muk had a rather shocked expression on her face as if she had understood what I was saying.

“Even if I were to subdue everything by force, once I disappear and the generations change, it would just lead to another bloody revenge and war.”

“Surely you……”

“I want to break this foolish cycle.”

The current system should be maintained so that we can check and develop each other.

There is a limit to the way one side is destroyed.

“………”

If it were Baekhyangmuk, she would know my true intentions even better.

I led the party during its heyday and was there to watch its decline.

Baek Hyang-muk, who had a worried expression on her face as if her words had gotten through to her, opened her mouth.

“It seems that the old man misunderstood your true intentions as a descendant of the swordsman.”

“Master?”

“He is right. If the two eventually become a means to gain power by harming each other, it will become a cycle of bloodshed.”

"iced coffee……."

“And those who want to destroy the weakened martial arts world by harming each other like now will continue to appear.”

It seems he wasn't called the leader of the martial arts world for nothing.

He doesn't say much, but his insight is profound.

Having personally experienced what happened this time, you should be fully aware that people like Geum Sang-je can appear at any time.

“How can the old man take responsibility?”

“Find the center so that the martial arts world can develop in balance and coexist.”

“……..Is it really okay to do that?”

“Do you think I have two words to say?”

Baek Hyang-muk, who had been staring at me like this, politely took the lottery ticket from me.

And he said in a voice full of sincerity.

“Although it may not meet your expectations, please allow me to help this old man.”

“I told you to do that.”

At these words, Baek Hyang-muk exhaled deeply as if she had been freed from some bondage and looked at her disciple Lee Jeong-gyeom.

Lee Jeong-gyeom looked at his teacher Baek Hyang-muk and me alternately with trembling eyes and said.

“Do I deserve that?”

“I would have said that dying wasn’t worth it.”

“But even if I don’t remember, the blood of countless people is on my hands…”

“If you want to die so badly, I can kill you right now. But if it were me, I would do everything I can to atone for that sin.

“Ahhhhh……”

At my words, Lee Jeong-gyeom's eyes turned red as if he was overcome with emotion, and then he took the lottery ticket just like his teacher Baek Hyang-muk and said.

“Please let me help the little brother as well, Master.”

At this, I nodded as if I readily agreed.

Sodamgeom said at their appearance.

-Hey. How could you make such a grand plan and not tell me? It's disappointing.

What's so disappointing about that?

The so-called political parties should be dealt with in this way.

-what?

Do you really think I have such grand ideas about coexistence and peace in the martial arts world?

It didn't have that much meaning in the first place.

If that was the case, I would have tried to reform as a member of the political faction, not as a blood sect.

-under!

Upright people like former leader Baek Hyang-muk and Lee Jeong-gyeom would never follow through if you tried to force them, but would rather break.

It is important to convince them rather than threaten or bargain.

Look at this result.

Those who were touched by the three-inch tongue, like you, know that I have great ambitions for the martial arts world and volunteer to help me.

-The real you is…..

Sodamgeom stuck out his tongue.

Anyway, didn't you make me stand on your side even though you knew my entire identity?

And I say it from the heart.

To this extent, this is a great achievement.

-So what are you going to use these for?

Baek Hyang-muk has a lot of experience, so we should use him as the vice-leader of the martial arts alliance.

If we leave Lee Jeong-gyeom alone, he will become the head of the party and lead the later incumbents of the party.

If that happens, just like Baek Hye-hyang, they will also be able to run the martial arts federation well under me.

-Wow……The only thing that's missing is his head.

Call it a plan.

At this point, it's beyond the realm of the remaining brain.

Anyway, now that I have them under my wing, I should use them as they were originally intended.

I called Lee Jeong-gyeom.

“Brother Lee. Come here. I will remove the demonic spirit for you.”

Lee Jeong-gyeom responded to my words with a voice full of anticipation.

“Can you really get rid of it?”

“If I couldn’t get rid of it, how could I have talked about it?”

If I were completely dominated by Baek, I wouldn't know.

As of now, if I just absorb it, it doesn't seem like it will have any particular effect.

“Please, I beg you.”

Lee Jeong-gyeom was possessed by the fear sword and suffered from guilt for a long time.

I placed my hand on the head of the approaching Lee Jeong-gyeom.

And he raised the heavenly power.

-Wooooow!

The fourth of the Big Dipper's dots on the back of his right hand began to glow blue.

As soon as I approached Lee Jeong-gyeom's soul, I discovered it right away.

It was the bastard's soul.

The vengeful Baek felt my presence and started to shrink away, trying to avoid me.

So I further increased the power of the heavenly power.

Then, the bastard, with all his might, held on and soon escaped from Lee Jeong-gyeom.

-Shoooooooo!

“Is this the devil?”

Lee Jeong-gyeom couldn't help but be surprised at the black, blooming iris-like thing coming out of his body.

Of course, the same was true for his teacher, Baek Hyang-muk.

The black energy that escaped like that was soon sucked into the Cheon Kwon dot on the back of my hand.

The moment Baek entered, I was struck by a tingling sensation as if I had been struck by lightning.

-Srrrrrr!

The memories that were carried in the bag continue to flow in my head like a fantasy,

[The only answer is to just kill someone like you.]

[for a moment…..]

-Whack!

I had a fantasy about cutting someone with a sword.

The moment I saw it, I knew immediately who this person was.

'Vigilantes?'
