The Regressed Young Master’s Guide to Living on Easy Mode

Chapter 188 : Meeting the Hidden Family

Everyone here was feeling the same sensation.

A feeling as if time had suddenly stopped.

They soon realized.

It wasn't that time had stopped, but that all their senses were focused on one being.

"Yoo-ya."

A single voice heard in the silence was particularly clear to Murong Yoo.

"It's been a long time."

A gentle tone calling him.

In this world, the only person who called Murong Yoo like this was his mother. If there was another, it would be someone similar to her, Murong Yoo thought and opened his mouth.

"D-Dad?"

Murong Yoo was feeling awkward at the word he was saying for the first time in his life. At the same time, at the word he had wanted to call his whole life, Murong Yoo's heart was full, and at the same time, he was feeling the anxiety that came from it not being him.

"Yes."

When the answer was heard, Murong Yoo experienced his whole body losing strength.

This is a battlefield. The fight was not yet over, and it was ongoing. Even in a situation where a sword was aimed at him.

But he felt a sense of relief that he couldn't understand.

As if to represent that, the back he was looking at took a step forward.

"Who are you!"

The red-haired man, who had seemed so terrifying until just now, felt ordinary.

Rustle.

At the sight of him turning back, Murong Yoo was able to see his father's face for the first time.

'He looks like me!'

With himself.

Dad said.

"Yoo Jae-ha."

"Yoo Jae-ha? I've never heard of him."

"And I'm the father of the baby you bullied."

For a moment, Murong Yoo felt his face flush.

'A baby!'

I'm thirteen now!

But for some reason, he felt quite good.

"Hmph! I don't know what's going on all of a sudden, but I'll kill you too!"

Flare.

Jeok-mu's sword turned red. At the much hotter heat than before, the surroundings shimmered, and the air crackled and burned.

And on such a Jeok-mu's sword, a blue flame was flickering.

"This is the blue flame that made me the Flame Guest. There is not a single person who has survived after seeing this blue flame!"

At the considerable heat felt even from a distance, Murong Yoo shouted without realizing it.

"Dad!"

As if in response, an answer was heard.

"It's okay."

Flare.

On the father's raised index finger, a red flame, much shabbier compared to Jeok-mu's flickering blue flame, was formed.

"Burn and disappear! The martial arts of the Heavenly Dragon Sword Emperor will be mine!"

The sword that held the blue flame fell.

Murong Yoo closed his eyes tightly.

"Older brother, older brother!"

At the sound of someone calling him, Murong Yoo slowly opened his eyes.

"Look at that!"

Murong Yoo looked ahead where Do Mu-gyeol was pointing.

The red flame, which had seemed shabby, was swallowing the blue flame and was gradually growing. Soon, the red flame that had eaten the blue flame was swallowing Jeok-mu as well.

"Aaaah!"

Although Jeok-mu struggled to put out the red flame, the red flame burned even more, and soon Jeok-mu turned into a handful of ash.

When Jeok-mu was neutralized in an instant, Murong Yoo's mouth opened wide. Do Mu-gyeol wiped the saliva flowing from the side.

"It's dirty."

It was at that moment.

As soon as they saw Jeok-mu being defeated, the leader of the Closed Heaven Sect, Red Blood Evil God Gal Mu-won, and the leader of the Small Heaven Sect, Mad Sword Gu Gyeong-bang, looked at each other.

The two of them performed a great technique at the same time and attacked Nam Ji-hyuk.

Nam Ji-hyuk was late in reacting to the big attack that came suddenly. So although it was not a fatal wound, he had suffered an internal injury that made it impossible for him to move for now.

"Ugh!"

Immediately after, Gal Mu-won and Gu Gyeong-bang rushed at the man who had subdued Jeok-mu.

The two of them instinctively realized that the most dangerous person here was that man.

Gal Mu-won took out the greatest technique he could perform.

If the strongest technique in the 1st martial world was the boundary and the art, the 3rd martial world was the transcendence of the senses.

Among them, the transcendent sense that Gal Mu-won had reached was telekinesis.

Beyond simply feeling, it was to assimilate that object with oneself.

So it was to move that object as if it were one's own body.

'Telekinesis release!'

Everything around floated into the air.

A huge tree that had been rooted in one place for decades was pulled out.

A huge stone that had been stuck in one place for hundreds of years was pulled out.

All kinds of sand and gravel floated in the empty space.

They rotated violently in the empty space.

Gu Gyeong-bang performed the 108 continuous forms that had made him be called the Mad Sword.

The 108 strong qi mixed with the things that were rotating fiercely in the empty space and melted in.

Yoo Jae-ha was just looking at it.

Do Mu-gyeol and Murong Yoo could do nothing in the fight of the transcendents unfolding before their eyes. All they could do was watch.

Nam Ji-hyuk had never imagined that Gal Mu-won would have such a power. Although he trusted Yoo Jae-ha, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiety in his heart at the enormous scene unfolding before his eyes.

"Master!"

Nam Ji-hyuk said with concern.

"Die!"

The enormous debris mixed with all sorts of things fell towards Yoo Jae-ha at once.

It was at that moment that Yoo Jae-ha moved.

One step.

The moment he took it, everyone here felt the air suddenly become heavy.

Two steps.

The moment he took it, it was difficult to breathe due to the pressure of the air.

Three steps.

The moment he took it, rumble! The ground sank.

And when he took exactly four steps, everything that existed in front of Yoo Jae-ha was prostrated on the ground.

As if they were subjects greeting a king.

The huge lump of debris made of telekinesis was also all on the ground.

"Aaaah!"

Just then, Gal Mu-won got up, resisting the force that was weighing him down. He had used telekinesis on his own body to resist Yoo Jae-ha's gravity.

"To overcome the 4th step of the Heavenly Demon's Reigning Steps, it's amazing."

Yoo Jae-ha sincerely praised his opponent.

And he took the 5th step.

Crack!

Gal Mu-won turned into a handful of blood. The same went for Gu Gyeong-bang.

Gulp.

Nam Ji-hyuk swallowed at the sight.

Because he had never imagined that he would just crush those two people with strength.

Yoo Jae-ha turned to everyone and opened his mouth.

"Let's go back."

The fight ended with just five steps.

* * *

One Thousand Martial Arts Hall.

A place where the orphans of war are gathered.

In reality, it is a place that raises future talents as a secret force of the 3rd martial world.

In the yard, children who would become future talents were playing.

Among them were Namgung Cheon, Paeng Yoo-ran, and Murong Yoo.

Yoo Jae-ha and Nam Ji-hyuk were looking at it.

"M-Master?"

"Yes."

"Weren't you going to stop the destruction of the 9th world?"

"I went. A guy called the Demon God was resurrected, and that world was about to be destroyed. The hero was also already dead."

Nam Ji-hyuk knew. Although the words were simple, a hell that could not be compared to the fight just now would have unfolded.

And the fact that his master was here was the same as the guy called the Demon God being dead.

"Was the guy called the Demon God strong?"

"I almost died. Especially the authority that guy used, just thinking about it now makes me want to pee."

"You've managed to come back alive?"

"It sounds like you wish I had died."

"Haha! How could that be. It's just that your disciple was once again surprised by your master's greatness."

"Disciple."

"Yes."

"Seeing that you couldn't even block an attack of that level just now, you must have been playing around while I was gone."

"I trained hard."

"From today, double it. If you don't want to be beaten by me."

"Yes."

Nam Ji-hyuk answered weakly.

Murong Yoo, while playing with the children, was glancing at the two people who were talking.

He had not spoken to his father even once since their first conversation.

Someone quietly approaches. It was Paeng Yoo-ran.

"Is that your dad?"

"Yeah."

"Why don't you go talk to him?"

"I-It's awkward."

"I play with my dad by hitting each other's stomachs to strengthen our abs. How about you try it?"

Murong Yoo looks at Paeng Yoo-ran silently.

"W-Why?"

Paeng Yoo-ran slightly avoids his gaze and answers.

"Because I'm curious about the place called Paengga."

Paeng Yoo-ran smiled brightly and answered.

"Let's go together later! I'll introduce you!"

"Yeah, let's do that. I'll be right back."

"Do well!"

Murong Yoo, who had received Paeng Yoo-ran's encouragement, approached Yoo Jae-ha as if he had decided something.

"E-Excuse me!"

Yoo Jae-ha, who had been talking with Nam Ji-hyuk, immediately focused on Murong Yoo as soon as he approached. Murong Yoo, upon making eye contact with Yoo Jae-ha, momentarily forgot what he had been thinking of saying until just now.

"Yoo-ya, come here."

Murong Yoo approached.

Yoo Jae-ha got up from the wooden floor, knelt down to Murong Yoo, made eye contact, and then hugged Murong Yoo.

"I'm glad you're safe."

At those words, Murong Yoo buried his face in Yoo Jae-ha's chest.

"Yeah."

Murong Yoo had a mountain of things he wanted to ask his dad when he met him.

Why he hadn't come to see him all this time.

Why he had left only his mom.

But when he actually met his dad, he couldn't ask anything. Because this moment was just good.

Still, he asked this one thing.

"You won't leave now, will you?"

Yoo Jae-ha, holding the small life that came into his arms tightly, answered.

"Yes."

Murong Yoo smiled brightly.

* * *

The promotion examination was over.

Due to an unavoidable incident, the promotion examination was invalidated.

But this promotion examination was not without any results.

Do Mu-gyeol was now held tightly in Murong Yoo's arms.

"Older brother! Can't you not go?"

Do Mu-gyeol, who had lost his faith in people after his parents' death. But at the sight of Murong Yoo, who had tried to protect him even at the cost of his own life, Do Mu-gyeol regained his faith in people.

He did not know at this time that this would become a very important trigger for Do Mu-gyeol to awaken as the Heavenly Dragon Sword Emperor and save the martial world in the future.

Murong Yoo, stroking Do Mu-gyeol's head, answered.

"I'll be back soon. In the meantime, listen to your older brothers and sisters here, don't do anything bad, and be good."

"Okay! I will!"

"Good, good."

The children of the martial arts hall were also hanging on to Namgung Cheon and Paeng Yoo-ran and crying.

"It's time to go."

And so, after a difficult time of parting, Murong Yoo's party returned to the martial world.

Such a Murong Yoo knew nothing.

About what the future would hold.

After the promotion examination, Namgung Cheon and Paeng Yoo-ran each received a vacation and returned home. Not only the two of them, but all the students who had taken the promotion examination received a vacation and returned to their respective homes.

Murong Yoo also tried to go home, but he couldn't.

"This is our home."

At his father's sudden words, Murong Yoo became bewildered.

Our home is the Murong Family.

Dad held Murong Yoo's small hand tightly and headed somewhere. Murong Yoo was startled inwardly at the place his dad was going now.

[Heavenly Demon Hall]

H-Heavenly Demon Hall?

The Heavenly Demon Hall I know?

The martial artists guarding the Heavenly Demon Hall bow deeply to his dad.

"Greetings to the young master!"

"Yeah. Good work."

Young master?

Dad, who enters the Heavenly Demon Hall as if it were his own home.

Murong Yoo, who is walking next to him, watching his expression.

Is this okay?

Finally, a huge hall was visible in front.

At the end of the hall, a man was sitting.

Murong Yoo had also seen him once before.

H-Heavenly Demon!

It was the real Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon gets up.

Am I going to die? Am I going to die for treason?

The Heavenly Demon approaches. He's not just approaching, he's running.

His legs are trembling.

Is that the Heavenly Demon's Reigning Steps that I've only heard of!

It felt like he was going to sit down.

Finally, the Heavenly Demon who had come right in front of him said.

"My younger brother!"

Huh?

"Our older brother!"

Huh?

"Nephew! You were safe!"

Huh?

"Yoo-ya, say hello. This is your uncle."

Huh!!!!!!!!!
