Reincarnated Swordmaster - Chapter 875

875====================
True empty hometown
what?!
When I turned to look at Mangryang in surprise at the unexpected story, Mangryang spoke calmly.
“Don’t be surprised. It’s a very natural progression.”
This is a natural flow?!
Jin So-cheong was a constant colleague and a great force, so it wasn’t something I could easily accept in a word. Naturally, I couldn’t help but raise my voice a little.
“No, please explain why. Why on earth do you want to seal Jinsocheong?”
Mangryang opened his lips to say something, but buried the words in his heart and said something else.
“If possible, we should kill him. That is right.”
“What!!”
You’re going to kill Jin So-cheong?
Do you really have to go that far?
As I gaped at the overly drastic plan for a fool, Zhuge Liang spoke in a bitter tone.
“It’s frustrating. If that master had a good head on his shoulders, I wouldn’t know, but the situation is so bad that he has to figure out everything on his own.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Just trust us this time. We’ll explain once everything is sorted out. Can’t we just leave it at that?”
Zhuge Liang perked up his ears.
“Having a bookkeeper means you’re leaving the brain work to us. If you leave it to us, just get some rest and do as you’re told.”
” … somehow it doesn’t seem like that’s the lord.”
Don’t you usually call that a servant?
As I spoke in a discontented voice, Jegal Sa blurted out:
“Then I’ll give you a clue, so think about it yourself.”
Zhuge Liang continued speaking sharply.
“When forming this alliance, Jegal Yu-ryong and I agreed on one thing, if nothing else. That is that we cannot trust Jin Cheon-hwi.”
“Who doesn’t know that? I know it all too.”
“You idiot. The same sentence can have dozens of meanings. I gave you all the clues, so don’t bother me anymore.”
” ……”
What does that really mean?
When I was confused, Mangryang said.
“Baek Woong. If I may say more, it’s not that I don’t trust Jin So-cheong and want to arrest him. It’s just that as things progress, there’s a high possibility that he’ll become an obstacle for us.”
“Um… Really?”
“Yes. I swear on my name that I am sure of it. Also, if it is possible to seal it, then maybe we don’t have to kill it.”
“Okay, then let’s seal it. I’ll catch Jin So-cheong.”
I eventually gave up thinking about it. I suspected Jin Cheon-hwi, but I didn’t suspect Jin So-cheong, and I couldn’t figure out what kind of relationship there was between the words that he should be arrested and that he should be arrested. However, I trusted my advisors, so I had no choice but to do as they said. I planned to apologize to Jin So-cheong later.
Paat
I went to the Blue Dragon Martial Arts Center and secretly searched for Jin So-cheong. However, I couldn’t sense Jin So-cheong’s energy. I caught a strange looking third-line practitioner and quickly used the Divorce Law to question the situation.
Woohoo
“Answer all my questions truthfully.”
” yes…”
“Where are Lee Gwang and Jin So-cheong?”
The confused-eyed third-year student answered slowly.
“Master Lee Gwang-gwan… went to meet Master Taegeommun… and Master Jin So-cheong… left to train as a warrior…”
“You left? Where to?”
“We don’t know about that either…”
“Do you think Yoon-kwang and Ji-pyeong know that fact?”
“Those two people too… I’m doing well because they followed the governor…”
” I get it.”
I finished the interrogation, erased his memory, and sent him back. I feel bad about using the divorce law, but there will be no major problems with his health or lifespan.
And I could tell that it was a very dangerous mission that Lee Gwang went to find Taegeommunju with his instructors Yoon Gwang and Ji Pyeong. If it had been normal, I would have given up at this point and searched using the national seal, but I had already given the national seal to the prophet as information. I thought about what to do and decided to go to Taegeommun first.
Paat
I searched for the energy on the roof of the Taegeummun. I couldn’t feel the energy of Lee Gwang, Yoon Gwang, or Ji Pyeong, but I felt the energy of the Taegeummun master strongly. It seemed like he had already finished his business and left, and I would have to question the Taegeummun master to find out.
‘Should I prepare a mask?’
I sneaked in like a ghost and entered the room where Taegeummunju was resting without making a sound.
After a while, Taegeummunju noticed my presence and spoke in a trembling voice.
“You are a master of incredible stealth… Who are you?”
I emerged stealthily from the darkness.
“I am the White Tiger of the Four Guardian Kings. I am the leader of the Golden Guard. We are old friends.”
Taegeummunju was astonished.
“Baekho!! How are you here… and why aren’t you wearing gold?”
“Because I’m on a secret mission.”
That’s right. I decided to pretend to be Baekho, the head of the Sashinwi, because I was afraid that if I went undercover as a monster, the Taegeummunju would completely shut his mouth. Since the Taegeummunju always promoted top disciples to the Geumuiwi, it was only natural that he would be acquainted with Baekho, the head of the Geumuiwi.
Also, it wasn’t difficult for me to wear the mask of the white tiger. And whether the white tiger would later get screwed over or not, he had already formed an alliance with his superior, Jegal Yu-ryong, so it didn’t matter. The Taegeummunju couldn’t suspect me, who looked exactly like the white tiger, and he said in disbelief.
“Your martial arts skills were never that good. You were barely at the peak, so how could your martial arts skills have increased by several times?”
“Haha. That’s none of your business. I came here by royal decree, so answer carefully.”
” ……”
“I came to see you after hearing that the former Envoy of the Heavenly Dragon, Lee Gwang, visited you some time ago. It seems that his two disciples were also present. What did you talk about with them?”
Taegeummunju kept his mouth shut. He felt a sense of duty that he could never easily reveal his friend’s whereabouts. I smiled coldly as I played Baekho.
“You won’t open your mouth? Then I will seize and search your Taegeummun with the authority of the Royal Secretariat and find evidence of treason.”
“Don’t commit such a crime! We, the Taegeummun, are members of the Luoyang Ssangmunsa family and have long been loyal to the imperial family. We have no reason to be treated like this by the Jinyiwi. If you commit such a crime, you will never be successful!”
“I don’t want to do that either. However, Cheongryong Lee Gwang is a dangerous person, so we must find out his whereabouts. Then, how about this?”
“……?”
Sling
“I will not use my special skill, my fist, at all, and I will only use my sword. And I will defeat you in ten seconds.”
” what!”
“If I win under this condition, you must tell me everything about his whereabouts and what we talked about.”
“How arrogant…”
Taegeummunju’s eyes blazed with light, fully revealing the murderous intent of a master of the highest order. The light in his eyes was so intense that it felt like space was distorted, and pure white cracks appeared as if they were being formed. He shouted, revealing his murderous intent.
“How dare you, as the leader of the hunting dogs…!! I will kill you here!”
… Oh, you, are you so angry?
At the same time, the Taegeommunju who had been in a state of turmoil rushed at me with his sword energy rising. Since I had defeated Taegeommunju before, I was somewhat off guard, but I quickly dodged when I realized that this divine sword union strike had tremendous power. At the same time, a bunch of hair burst out of the sword energy, and his sword energy turned white as it flew in, revealing hundreds of cross-sections.
Extreme meaning
One-line Taegeommu (One-line Taegeommu)
The illusion of swords merged in the air and became a single straight line, extending towards my heart. This was the ultimate secret art and ultimate technique of Taegeommun swordsmanship, Ilseon Taegeommu! In the past, when I fought Taegeommunju at Han Baekryeong’s urging, I was unable to confront this ultimate technique head-on and could only dodge, but this time the situation was different.
‘Let’s show the overwhelming difference in skill.’
Taegeommunju is a tough opponent to use against with the divorce law. He is also a good opponent to test the martial arts I have practiced so far, so I thought it would be good to show him the difference in skill and break his will to fight. As Il-seon Taegeommu advanced, I gathered the principles of yin and yang into my essence and unleashed my Musangpae.
Could it be my imagination? Perhaps because I had gained the power of Amaterasu, the power of yang seemed to have become much stronger.
Paat
When the Ilseon Taegeommu was hit by the power of Musangpae, it was reduced to nothing and disappeared. When Taegeommunju opened his eyes wide, I took advantage of his confusion and lightly swung my sword and held it against his neck. Then I laughed.
“Ten seconds is too long. It didn’t even take three seconds.”
” … Just now, what the hell was that technique…”
“You should know that no matter how extreme your swordsmanship is, it cannot reach me.”
” ……”
“Keep your promise.”
Clink
Taegeommunju felt a sense of emptiness and dropped his sword from his hand. For a swordsman who had only swung his sword his entire life, dropping his sword from his hand meant a great sense of loss. He sighed deeply as if the sky had collapsed and said.
“… Lee Gwang came to me to find out about the disappearance of his disciple Jin So-cheong.”
“Missing? Are you saying that Lee Kwang-do doesn’t know his whereabouts?”
Taegeummunju answered, looking at the wall with empty eyes.
“That’s right. One day, Jin So-cheong suddenly disappeared, leaving behind only a note saying that he was going on a military training trip. So Lee Gwang started looking for Jin So-cheong using all the connections he had, and he came to me. I promised to use my connections to find Jin So-cheong, and Lee Gwang left three days ago.”
“Three days…”
I thought about it carefully and then said to Taegeummunju.
“Do you have any idea where Jinsocheong is?”
“What are you going to do after finding Jinsocheong?”
I felt a little sorry towards Taegeummunju, so I spoke as if making an excuse.
“I said that earlier, but I have no intention of harming Lee Gwang and Jin So-cheong. However, I have no choice but to act because my superiors have ordered me to always keep an eye on their movements.”
“Do you think I’ll believe that?”
“It would be better for both of us to trust each other.”
“… promise me you won’t harm them.”
“I promise. We at the Royal Family just need to figure out your whereabouts.”
When I made a promise, Taegeummunju hesitated for a while and then reluctantly opened his mouth.
“I don’t know where Jin So-cheong is, but Lee Gwang told me that he would go to Gansu for the last time. He said he would look for Jin So-cheong there.”
“Gansu? Why there…”
“I said I would assume the worst.”
“……?”
Worst case scenario?
I soon realized what the situation was from the words of the Taijianmenju, because there was almost only one reason to go to Gansu.
‘ … I see!’
I said to Taegeummunju.
“Thank you for your cooperation.”
Paat
After I got away from the Taegeummunju, I went straight to the Baekryeon Sect headquarters using my boiling skill. Then, I hid my presence as much as possible in the place where all the masters were crouching like Yongdamhohyeol, wore a suitable mask, and sneaked inside, secretly raising my spirits to find Jinsocheong’s energy.
‘Found it!’
there is!
However, I couldn’t help but hesitate about what to do when I realized that the worst had come true, because the location of the Jinsocheong that I had detected was truly the worst.
Right now, Jin So-cheong is facing off against the giant tile one-on-one.
Of course, the owner of that energy was not a guardian angel, but a being much more powerful than them.
I pretended to be a senior member of the Senate and hid quietly, but I didn’t dare approach within twenty chapters of them. If I approached any further, I was worried that the owner of the giant qi would notice my identity.
‘Oh, oh, oh, oh.’
Yes, that’s right.
The deepest part of the White Lotus Sect’s headquarters – that is the garden of the White Lotus Sect leader.
Jin So-cheong is now standing one-on-one with the White Lotus Sect leader!
I hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided to take a risk and approach about ten steps closer, and eavesdrop on their conversation by listening near the door. The senior senators hiding nearby looked at me suspiciously, but I made a vague excuse about the Six-Hap-Jeon-Seong.
[I’m worried that that kid might harm the leader.]
[ Hmm… No way. Stop worrying about useless things and go back to your position. ]
[I said I was worried.]
[Idiot. Do whatever you want.]
Fortunately, the other senior members of the Senate didn’t seem to be suspicious and seemed to view him with loyalty. I pricked up my ears and listened to their conversation.
Jin So-cheong was speaking.
“Master of the White Lotus Sect. Thank you for providing accommodations yesterday.”
[There is nothing to be thankful for. Our school does not arbitrarily turn away those who seek help.]
A light flashed in the leader’s eyes.
[ But Jin So-cheong, it seems like what you want isn’t just a night’s rest. What brought you to our school? ]
” ……”
After a while, Jin So-cheong looked straight at the leader and said.
“I have come to seek the ultimate in martial arts. Please teach me.”
The cult leader’s response to that statement was very concise.
[You already have the potential to surpass me. I can feel it. You are truly a genius of unparalleled quality…]
“Cult leader.”
In the past, the leader seemed to have reacted positively to Jin So-cheong’s talent, but now his reaction was completely different. Could it be because the circumstances were different? It seemed that he was strongly wary of Jin So-cheong.
[ And I don’t want to be a fool who raises tiger cubs. ]
” ……”
[A genius of the brain gods… Even Lee Cheong-woon had a hard time handling it, so how can I handle you with my skills?]
Jin So-cheong’s face hardened as she felt the strong will of the cult leader.
The leader responded coldly and gave a lively tone.
[If you had disciplined yourself and devoted yourself to cultivation, it would have been a disaster for the White Lotus Sect in the future, but your greed ruined you, Jin So-cheong. Goodbye.]
Fighting
The next moment, the leader’s words, full of sincere murderous intent, were unleashed.
