< Episode 105: Grand Master Myeongryul (5) >
-pop! pop!
With the sky covered in firecrackers the inside of Cheonjihoe began to shake and become noisy.
That was because everyone knew what this red signal meant.
This was something no one expected.
As a result all the power and people within the Cheonjihoe who were guarding their respective positions moved.
-pop! pop!
“ah?”
However only Mok Gyeong-un’s voice rang in the ears of Great Master Myeongryul who could hear the sound of firecrackers but could not see them with his eyes.
“okay. “I have a thousand.”
Those short words that reveal one’s identity.
Although the words were spoken quietly the sense of intimidation contained therein was tremendous.
My heart was beating so violently that I couldn’t calm down.
[In a daily report he destroyed Shaolin’s Hundred Eight Arhats and single-handedly destroyed the Four Heavenly Dang Family… It’s a bit unreliable for an emergency report.]
[It’s hard to believe but it seems to be true.]
[However it is too hard to take it literally…]
[If the Justice Alliance is already moving it means that they are also seeing the seriousness of this situation.]
[…Does that mean he is also keeping an eye on this?]
[You are showing great interest.]
[I can’t believe he… showed interest…]
Even though he made numerous achievements and became strong enough to use spirit beasts as food spirits and compete with martial arts of the Hyeongyeong using all kinds of techniques he was not even interested in the first world let alone the first world.
But to the extent that he showed interest.
[Seventh Heaven…. What did he call him?]
[Rather than calling himself I think he called himself the Heavenly Demon.]
[Demon of the sky?]
-closely!
“Ugh.”
Grand Master Myeongryul was in pain due to the force constricting his neck.
A lot of thoughts are running through my head but the one that comes to mind the most is: Why didn’t anyone know that Iza was the Heavenly Demon?
Or is it even weirder to notice his identity in the first place?
Now that I think about it he is truly a strange guy.
He is a guy who did not receive any attention when he was captured as a hostage by Jeong Pa-yeon Mokgeomjang.
The only thing that was known was after Sihyeolgok but at best it was only at the level of a later index.
Who would think that a guy like this is the Seventh Heaven Demon the most prestigious figure in the current martial arts world?
-Aaaah!
“Off.”
“Patience is definitely a good thing.”
“Ugh.”
“Then would you like me to tell you? Grand Duke Na Yu-liang said that it was absolutely necessary. Why?”
“I’m going to say that…”
“I will tell you when I wish for death.”
“It’s all in vain…. Kill…Kill.”
“Well I thought you wouldn’t open your mouth so easily.”
-Park!
Mok Kyung-un grabbed his left arm and shoulder.
“Wait a minute what are you doing now….”
“If I had time I would have started with one fingernail but since I don’t I’ll go with the arms and legs first.”
As soon as he finished speaking Mok Kyung-un tried to pull his left arm.
It was that moment.
The body part of Demon Beast Yual which was in the form of armor on his shoulder protruded like a tentacle and grabbed Mok Gyeong-un’s hand.
-Surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
‘!?’
At the same time as holding it like that
-Papa pa pa pa paak!
The thorns that had grown densely all over his body popped out as if they had been waiting.
Because the thorns were so small it was difficult to count their number.
It was a turning blow shown by the demonic beast Yual who had become one with his master and was looking for an opportunity to protect him.
however
-Passsssss!
The moment the numerous thorns popped out they melted away as if oxidized.
The demon beast Yual could not hide his embarrassment.
– Damn it!
The energy of death surrounded Mo Gyeong-un’s body.
Since the goal was to approach Great Master Myeongryul who was one with Imae Mang-ryang it did not work because he was wearing this at all times just in case.
“It’s unfortunate. “I would have aimed for it at best.”
– Quad deuk!
As soon as he finished speaking Mok Gyeong-un grabbed Grand Master Myeongryul’s left shoulder and ripped off his arm.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
-Kakakakak!
Thanks to this screams of pain erupted from Myeongryul and the demon beast Yual at the same time.
No matter how patient Myeongryul was with pain it was difficult for him to endure it as they tore off his left arm in addition to his right arm.
In fact because he was blind and had developed other senses he was bound to be more sensitive to pain than ordinary people.
However although he endured this with his unique tenacity the pain of having his arm torn off continued and he felt like he was going to lose his mind from the agony.
Mok Gyeong-un whispered in his ear.
“You can be at ease as long as you give the answer you want.”
“Ugh…. The Grand Duke…”
-Wow!
“Turn it off!”
It was when he was about to say something.
At that time the body of the demonic beast Yual which was protecting his body like armor suddenly began to tighten around the body of Great Mage Myeongryul.
“You yual… stop…”
-Aaaah!
Despite Myeongryul’s shouts the tightening power of the demonic beast Yual did not weaken.
Instead he pressed harder.
When the shikigami acted like this even disobeying his own orders something immediately passed through the mind of Great Mage Myeongryul.
‘Is it prohibited?’
He was a master of magic to the point of receiving the title of Bangsin.
In particular the field in which he excelled most was prohibition.
Master Myeongryul who had established an unrivaled area in prohibiting something even lifted his own prohibition with all his might.
No matter how much he swore loyalty he did not want to put his life as collateral.
however
‘under?’
I never would have guessed that he had even placed a ban on his food spirits.
I didn’t think he would have noticed because his mouth was closed but he was on the top of his head.
-Wood clack!
“Turn it off.”
Because of the pressure his ribs cracked and he suffered.
“You were abandoned.”
“Off.”
“Shall I save your life?”
‘!?’
You’re saying you’ll save me…?
At Mo Kyung-un’s sudden suggestion Great Master Myeongryul was momentarily lost in thought.
The fact that he took these measures meant that he would be able to detect if he betrayed anyone.
Perhaps he did not even know that he had even dabbled in the art of divorce the golden art of a notorious evil man from long ago.
That’s why he wasn’t even afraid of death.
However if he knew what he was doing it might be a trick he had prepared and everything could end.
-Wood!
“Off!”
More bones were crushed under the pressure of the demonic beast Yual.
Master Myeongryul who had been thinking about this for a split second finally shouted in haste.
“Save me…give me!”
Hearing his shout the corners of Mok Kyung-un’s mouth went up.
* * *
In front of the main altar where the head of Cheonjihoe Naejeong resides.
A lot of people were flocking there.
There was only one reason why they flocked like this.
-pop! pop!
It was because of the red fireworks that are still lighting up the sky.
Since he was heading to the main altar in the first place the expression on the face of Prince Na Yuryang who arrived first at the square in front of the main altar was strange.
That’s right too
“Is it really true that Hoeju called you?”
“….”
In response to Moyak’s question Grand Duke Na Yu-liang took a long breath and made no reply.
The meaning of the red fireworks was that it was an emergency summons for Hoeju.
When that was seen everyone had to gather in one place based on the authority of the meeting regardless of who was in the meeting.
‘Has the condition improved?’
According to the information in the Presbyterian Church Hoeju has reached a point where it is no longer possible to revive it.
But how can there be an emergency call?
Even if he miraculously regained consciousness there was no way he could recover so quickly in such a short period of time.
If so is this even a ploy by the elders?
If that’s the case it was quite excessive.
However how could he take advantage of Hoeju’s situation which he was barely conscious of…
-Kkiik!
It was then.
The main gate of the headquarters was opened.
A procession began to come out from there and the moment Mo Yue saw it he called out to Grand Duke Lu Liang in a surprised voice.
“Go Confucius and that?”
What appeared at the head of the people coming out in a procession was none other than a severed head stuck at the end of a long spear.
-Roaring!
The sectarians under Nayuliang who had gathered first were in an uproar.
What on earth is going on?
The main building’s guard battalion was coming out one after another as if to take care of the severed head.
There were quite a few of them and while everyone was at a loss the head of a high-ranking sect opened his mouth in surprise when he saw a head stuck on the tip of a spear.
“Elder Lee Yin?”
‘Elder Yin?’
At this cry one of Grand Duke Lu Liang’s eyebrows rose upward.
The head with his tongue sticking out and his eyes wide open was an elder called Inji-gyu.
This person who retired 12 years ago was from Danju was very good at martial arts and had many merits so he entered the Presbyterian Order.
It was a face Nayuliang also knew.
However Elder In being executed like that means
‘…Something is wrong.’
It seemed like the plan to prepare in advance for the Presbyterian War had failed.
Otherwise this procession of filial piety could not have continued.
Na Yulyang’s eyes became sharp as he looked up at the top floor of the main building where Hoeju was staying.
“Confucius?”
“I think both Presbyterian and I underestimated it too much.”
Through the wide open window Nayulryang’s eyes showed the image of someone looking down with their backs turned.
The seal was so familiar that I recognized it right away.
“…Master.”
He was the head of the Heaven and Earth Meeting.
He wasn’t even bandaged unlike the last time I saw him.
The gazes of the warriors of the Heaven and Earth Society and members of various religious sects who had gathered under the gaze of Prince Na Yu-ryang naturally turned upward.
“Sashimi sashimi?”
“Are you okay Lord Hoe?”
“Look! Hoeju is safe!”
“Waaaaaaaa!!!!!”
Rumors were spreading that the details of Hoeju were not good.
Therefore the Cheonjihoe was in chaos but when the head of the association made an emergency convocation and it was revealed to be alive and well for the first time in a long time the headquarters square was filled with cheers.
The forces under Grand Duke Na Yulyang were not very pleased with this kind of cheering.
But at that time there was a group of people coming into the middle of the square in tears.
When I saw them exclamations of surprise came from all over the place.
“It’s a ley line.”
“The ley line has come back to life!”
Those who entered the center of the square like triumphal generals were none other than a group of ley lines one of the two axes that lead the Cheonjihoe.
