Chapter 99
Chapter 99
"Wh-what is this...?"
Chuganyang's voice trembled.
Even he, who had been through thick and thin, could not continue speaking at the madness his grandson was committing.
"Kehehe... it's nothing. It's nothing. It's just finishing the play. The righteous will prevail... shouldn't we destroy evil and establish justice..."
The middle-aged man with the mustache, while gagging the bleeding young man, stealthily retreated and said.
"Yunbi. Drop the knife. Aren't you going too far? These people are just actors."
"Kehehe... a play? Life is a play! There has to be at least one proper ending!"
Chuwunbi screamed at the top of his lungs.
Whoosh.
Chuganyang, startled by the presence behind him, moved to the side and turned his body, at the same time putting his hand on his sword hilt.
Baekji stealthily retreated and waved his hands.
The 'One Flash Saber' was deadly as soon as it was drawn, so he had to be especially careful.
"Uh, uh, calm down. It's me... me. A Transcendent Peak novice..."
While saying that, he surveyed the messy living room with his eyes.
"What is this? The precious food..."
Baekji headed towards Chuwunbi.
Chuwunbi, who looked to be in his teens, seemed to have lost his legs, as his knees were loose.
Baekji, seeing Chogang who was held by Chuwunbi, waved his hand.
"Miss Chogang? It's me. We met yesterday, right?"
Chogang, whose neck was wrapped in Chuwunbi's strong forearm, turned her pupils and looked at Baekji.
Although her face was stiff, she seemed to have no injuries.
Baekji looked at the young man who was being supported by the middle-aged man with the mustache.
'That brat is Jueon.'
He was the villain actor who had said that Chogang was his lover.
Although his chest was covered in blood, it didn't seem to be a fatal wound, and he pushed away the middle-aged man with the mustache and tried to approach Chogang.
Baekji, who had turned his gaze back to Chuwunbi.
'That brat is a madman.'
He could roughly guess the situation.
It seemed that Chuwunbi was forcing Chogang to hold a weapon and was trying to kill Jueon.
Although he had no legs, the ki that was young in Chuwunbi's entire body was quite strong.
'He only dug into his internal energy!'
And then he went crazy?
"You brat!"
Chuganyang let out a thunderous roar.
His eardrums went numb at the roar, which was like the lion's roar of a Buddhist temple.
"Aack!"
Chogang and Jueon, whose internal energy was weak, screamed in pain at the roar that Chuganyang had let out with his internal energy.
Baekji shouted, 'beoreok'.
―What are you doing? Are you trying to kill them!
Baekji shot a telepathic message into Chuganyang's ear.
Chuganyang came to his senses.
He had lost his reason for a moment after failing to obtain the topic of meditation of the 'manifestation realm' and seeing his grandson's madness.
At the roar, Chuwunbi's madness reached its peak.
"Kehahaha. That's right! To grandfather, the great cause and face of the martial world are important! A Martial Alliance elder! The Martial Alliance elder obtained with my father's blood and my legs! That play must also end!"
Madness flashed in Chuwunbi's eyes.
The situation was not good. Chuwunbi's wheelchair was against the wall. On the right was a table, and the other side had to be gone around.
If Chuwunbi just pulled his forearm, Chogang's neck would break.
Even so, Chogang only looked at Jueon. Anxiety was young in her eyes.
"Hurry and take him to a doctor! Keuk!"
Even though she was on the verge of death, when Chogang begged for Jueon to be taken to safety, Chuwunbi pulled his forearm.
"Don't be ridiculous! That brat must be killed! Only then can you achieve your love! Are you going to abandon your love that you have even been reincarnated for?"
"Oh dear..."
Baekji clicked his tongue and stepped forward.
"Hey, you crazy brat! Alright! Let's do as you say! I didn't like the ending of 'River Frost Performance Troupe' either. So let's change it! We just have to kill that brat, right?"
Baekji pointed at Jueon.
Chuwunbi's mad eyes turned to Baekji. Not even knowing who Baekji was, he shouted.
"Kehehe. Don't do anything foolish. That brat must be killed by Chogang. Only then is it a proper ending. Chogang, end it with your own hands! Enjoy the blessing of reincarnation!"
Chuwunbi grabbed Chogang's right hand and the dagger and shook it.
"Umm..."
Baekji stuck his bamboo staff in his back and, 'jeobeok, jeobeok', walked over and put his arm around the armpit of Jueon, who was being supported by the middle-aged man with the mustache.
"What are you doing?"
When the middle-aged man with the mustache glared, Baekji, poked his side and glared.
―Get over there.
Baekji whispered to Jueon.
"Don't worry. We have to go and save Chogang."
Jueon slightly bowed his head. As he moved his lips, it seemed he was saying that Chogang must be saved no matter what.
Baekji supported Jueon and went in front of Chuwunbi and Chogang.
Chogang was surprised and shouted, "D-don't come... don't come..."
Despair was young in Chogang's eyes.
Baekji said, "Chogang, it seems we really have to die with the one we love. If we are reincarnated again, let's live happily then. At that time, don't forget that brat and be sure to kill him..."
Chuwunbi flinched and then shouted, "What are you talking about... Chogang's lover is someone else!"
"You crazy brat! Can't you tell even after seeing Chogang's eyes? The one Chogang loves is this brat!"
"What? What do you mean...?"
Chuwunbi looked back and forth between Chogang and Jueon with eyes flashing with a brilliant light.
"You didn't know? Chogang and Jueon are lovers."
"Jueon? Who is Jueon? There's no such brat. There's no such brat in 'River Frost Performance Troupe'."
"This person is Jueon."
When Chuwunbi looked at Jueon, he shook his head.
"Kehehe... what are you talking about! Why that frail brat? No, Chogang loves me... she loves me! That brat must die!"
Chuwunbi screamed at the top of his lungs and then suddenly pushed Chogang's body and flew.
He thrust out the dagger he had taken from Chogang.
"Aack! No!"
Chogang screamed, and the middle-aged man with the mustache and Chuganyang also flew, but,
It was too late.
In an instant, the dagger pierced Jueon's chest.
No, it was about to pierce.
"I knew it. You're looking down on the Transcendent Peak, aren't you?"
Baekji moved his hand like lightning and grabbed Chuwunbi's wrist.
"Ugh!"
"...?"
Although he was crazy, Chuwunbi's internal energy was immense.
He had almost missed.
Baekji pulled Chuwunbi's wrist and, threw him.
It was a technique that applied the 'Thousand Poisons Hand' of the Tang family.
Kung!
Chuwunbi flew and hit the wall, then, 'tuk', fell.
"Yunbi!"
Chuganyang and the middle-aged man with the mustache shouted at the same time and rushed forward, but they were suddenly thrown back.
"Kaaah!"
Chuwunbi hit the floor with both hands and then flew.
The place he flew to like a stone from a catapult was Jueon.
It seemed he was so engulfed in the madness of having to kill Jueon that nothing else entered his eyes.
A blue bamboo shadow flashed in the empty air.
Thwack!
Baekji's bamboo staff struck Chuwunbi's head.
"Ugh..."
Chuwunbi's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed.
Baekji raised his bamboo staff again towards Chuwunbi, who was rolling at his feet.
"A madman has to be beaten to come to his senses..."
In an instant.
Swish-!
With a sound of the empty air splitting, the sword of the 'One Flash Saber' touched Baekji's neck.
"Get out of the way!"
Chuwunbi's shrill voice cracked.
Baekji waved his hand and retreated.
"Ah, alright. I won't hit him. A brat who's not in his right mind... how pitiful. He lost his legs and was lamenting his fate... did he go crazy? It would be good if his grandfather were a little more kind..."
The strength in Chuwunbi's sword drained.
"Take them away."
Chogang and Jueon approached Baekji.
The appearance of the two was a mess.
Baekji clicked his tongue and held out his palm.
"What is it?"
"You've made a person into this state, so you have to pay for the treatment. I'd appreciate it if you also recognized my effort in stopping the final act..."
"..."
"The actors are in this state, so I don't think they can perform 'River Frost Performance Troupe' today. The troupe will suffer a great loss. I think you should pay for that too."
"..."
Chuganyang said to the general manager who had just entered, "You take care of it."
Chuganyang held his grandson and entered the bedroom.
Chogang and Jueon, who had been held by the madman since last night and had been on the verge of life and death, were half out of their minds, holding each other tightly.
"It's alright. It's all over. You've suffered."
"..."
Chogang sent a look of gratitude.
Jueon, as soon as his tension was released, fainted.
Although it didn't seem like he would die right away, he had shed quite a bit of blood.
"First, it would be best to find a doctor."
The general manager, who had seen Jueon's injury, said.
"Let's go. Where is the best doctor here?"
"It's the Donghwa Hall. I will guide you myself, so let's go."
The general manager led the way and called the warriors to prepare a sedan chair.
The warriors supported Chogang and Jueon and put them in the palanquin.
Baekji was envious.
"Me too! I want to ride too."
The general manager looked Baekji up and down and then refused.
"Why would a perfectly fine person ride a sedan chair? Let's just go. Hurry!"
The general manager went quickly, and the sedan chair followed.
"It's not like it costs money. How stingy. Don't you know I'm the benefactor of Chuga Manor? Think about it, if the grandson of Chuga Manor had committed murder. Elder Chu would have been kicked out of the Martial Alliance. I saved Chuga Manor. But you can't even give me one sedan chair?"
Baekji grumbled and followed the general manager, but he had to stop at the main gate.
The warriors of the Elder's Hall's 'Chief Guarding Brigade' were standing guard in front of the main gate of Chuga Manor.
They had managed to track Baekji's movements.
"What is it?"
The general manager, with his hands behind his back, said arrogantly.
This was the manor of a Martial Alliance elder.
The general manager was a person who knew when to bow his head and when to hold it high.
A middle-aged man with a black face and a sturdy build stepped forward.
"I am the leader of the Martial Alliance Elder's Hall's 'Chief Guarding Brigade', Gyeheuk. I have come because a person wanted by the Elder's Hall is here."
The leader of the 'Chief Guarding Brigade', Gyeheuk, had come in person.
"Do you not know where this is? This is the residence of Elder Chuganyang. There is no way a person wanted by the Elder's Hall would be here."
"He's right there."
Gyeheuk pointed at Baekji.
The general manager, following Gyeheuk's finger, looked at Baekji and then asked, flustered, "That person is wanted by the Elder's Hall?"
"That's right."
"What is his crime?"
Gyeheuk, with an arrogant gaze, looked at the general manager and said, "I don't think I need to tell you that."
"In any case, he is a visitor to the elder's residence. Don't you think that dragging him away without a reason is ignoring the owner?"
Although the general manager did not know the identity of Baekji, who had suddenly broken in, he had a favorable impression of Baekji, who had resolved Chuwunbi's rampage smoothly.
And he had to quietly cover up what had happened at Chuga Manor by showing Baekji a good side.
The justification was also on his side.
No matter how much of a 'Chief Guarding Brigade' of the Elder's Hall they were, they could not drag away a guest who had come to Chuga Manor by force.
"What are you doing in front of my house?"
Chuganyang, who had heard the news, came out with the middle-aged man with the mustache.
Chuganyang's mood was not good, as he had experienced a sudden incident since morning.
He had to take care of his grandson, but he had to come out at the words that the 'Chief Guarding Brigade' had come.
Naturally, his gaze towards Gyeheuk was cold.
"I have come under the orders of the Grand Elder. He has ordered me to capture that person."
Gyeheuk cupped his fists and pointed at Baekji.
Chuganyang's brow twitched.
The relationship between the Grand Elder, Haewol, and Chuganyang was not very good.
"What is his crime?"
"I cannot say."
"Hmph! Since when has the Elder's Hall become a place that arrests people without even revealing their crimes?"
"I am just following orders."
"Then I will also make it clear. If you want to take him, you will have to bring a document with a clear crime written on it."
Chuganyang took a step forward and said, "Get out of the way. If you continue to block the way, I will cut you down!"
