#Unfinished reward

The appearance of Cheonma was definitely different.

The fight, which had not stopped despite the momentum of the star-studded masters and the large crowd, ended in an instant.

It just appeared.

But everyone knelt down and bowed their heads.

I had to admit it.

Here he is a god.

It also means that one person’s very existence can become a complete power.

It is a power so enormous that no matter how much you raise your head, you cannot look at it properly, and everyone has no choice but to follow it in silence due to its overwhelming presence.

Oh, of course there were exceptions.

A large, oblivious guy who crawls towards me, scheming and scheming. Maoda.

“Hey, Jang-seo, are you okay?”

“First of all. I heard you went to Manma Bunchong. How did you get here?”

“How can I not come while you are like this? Anyway, get out of here.”

He chuckled. I never thought there would come a day when I would enjoy having such pointless conversations with the Seven Princes.

“How have you been?”

“Oh. I thought you’d turn into a stone Buddha while waiting.”

What is Buddha in the devil’s religion?

“What the hell happened?”

“It’s long, so to speak.”

It’s complicated to explain, and of course, it wasn’t a situation where I could talk about it at length.

“Father, what are you doing here?”

Cheonmugi asked calmly, hiding his embarrassment. It was the right time. Everyone was curious. But… … .

“How did you know?”

Instead of an answer, a question was thrown back at Cheonma. Of course, it wasn’t meant for Cheonmugi.

Everyone turned their heads. That’s it. Jang Seo.

“Jang-seo, what are you doing? Your father is asking you. Answer quickly.”

Mao’s face turned bright red as he urged him on from the side. Everyone looked at him with puzzled eyes. However, Zhang Yi remained unmoved. His expression did not change at all.

It’s not that I have nothing to say.

Of course, I knew that Cheonma was above.

‘Because I have a blood demon.’

As the saying goes, if the blood demons run wild on the execution ground, it wouldn’t be a big deal for Cheonsan to be filled with blood.

Even if others don’t know, Cheonma knows it.

So I thought that he would be watching from somewhere like in the time of the Brain Jade King.

Fortunately, the prediction was correct.

The problem is… … .

“You called me without even knowing me?”

Cheonma’s second question.

There’s a commotion everywhere.

‘The devil is testing me right now.’

Yes, Jang felt it intuitively.

That he was now about to pass judgment on his fight with the Thousand Weapons.

And that thought was half right and half wrong.

‘Jang Yiseo. If I hadn’t shown up, you would have definitely been executed by the first one. That would have meant your defeat.’

Jin Woo-kwang had been watching everything from the beginning from above the clouds. And he had already made his decision.

Cheonmugi won, and Jang Yiseo lost.

Of course, there were some unfair aspects to putting the two on the same scale.

Jang Yi-seon is a supporter who was born a wild dog. On the other hand, Cheon Mu-gi is a child of fortune who received all kinds of benefits from birth, including hair removal and hair washing.

Moreover, today is Jang Yi-seo’s execution day, and the judge is Cheon Mu-gi.

Unfavorable conditions, unfavorable circumstances.

In the first place, it is absurd to decide the outcome in this situation.

But, where on earth does Cheonma care about such things?

The world is originally a cliff, and only those who climb to the end survive.

Fairness? There is no such thing in this world.

Of course, I didn’t have high expectations. However, Jang was his disciple. He was the closest person in terms of descent. In other words, he was the closest to Cheonma.

So I wanted to check once more. To what extent is Jang Il-seo’s qualification?

If you hadn’t seen things wrong the other day, you wouldn’t have been fooled.

If you just die without feeling anything, you’re a low-level player, but if you surprise someone even once, you’re a high-level player.

And in that sense, Jang made me admire him several times.

I wasn’t seeing things wrong.

Despite being executed, he took the initiative and turned the tide of the battle. He also showed off his skills in front of everyone, increasing his presence.

It’s the best, you even called yourself here.

That’s why I came.

Even though I can’t give you a reward because you lost, I can still save you because of your bravery.

But the answer that came out late was amazing.

“Don’t you already know?”

Jang Yi-seo was confident, unlike a loser, and rather blunt, as if asking why he had come only now.

That was so absurd that Cheonma let out a laugh and asked back.

“Do I know?”

“yes.”

The eyes of the Heavenly Horse, as deep as the deep sea, closely examined Jang Yi-seo.

Is it a lie? No. Then what is it?

Could it be that Dok-ma kindly informed him that he and his brother were brothers? He shook his head. It couldn’t be true.

then…….

My gaze was drawn to Jang Yiseo’s heart. Then his eyes sparkled.

‘The seal of the blood demon has been released!’

It is something that cannot be unknown since he breathed life into it and sealed it.

How on earth.

But that wasn’t the important thing.

‘You’re fine even after breaking the seal… … You can now control the Blood Demon?’

The corners of Cheonma’s mouth curled up coolly. If that’s the case, then a lot of things will be different.

If he hadn’t shown up, Jang would have awakened the blood demon, and then it wouldn’t have been Cheonmugi who stood until the end.

In other words… … .

‘You didn’t call me to live, you called me to save these people!’

A storm of enlightenment flooded the abyss-like pupils of the Heavenly Horse.

It was only later that he realized that he had been very wrong about Jang Seo.

‘You were never meant to have limits in the first place. You had limits in order to break them.’

Now I see. And that difference has changed so many minds.

Jin Woo-kwang felt a thrill for the first time.

Cheonmugi once asked this question.

‘Father, what are the qualities required to become a Heavenly Horse?’

Innate brawn? A strong core that was built from the moment he started walking? A capacity to embrace all? Or a cruelty that remains unwavering even in the face of countless deaths?

Of course, they are also important.

But that wasn’t the truth.

The one quality that I could not find in any of my seven successors.

This is the biggest reason why he was able to become the greatest horse of his time.

‘The world is originally a disadvantageous cliff. Cheonma is a being that goes against that natural order.’

Going against the grain.

It was something that had to have the qualities of a person who could turn the tide.

And Jang was the guy who had it from the beginning.

If you think about it, that’s what it was.

Although he has the natural disposition of a slow-witted person, he has a head that sees through situations and a keen eye that sees ahead.

Although he was born and raised as a wild dog, he had an unyielding spirit and an all-encompassing spirit.

You’ve got a blood demon that doesn’t fit your body, but you’re holding on to it so well.

This is the quality of a reverse celestial body.

That was the exact condition of Cheonma.

‘It is not that I should have kept you by my side because you are my priest, but I should have kept you by my side from the beginning.’

Cheonma’s eyes were filled with dark ambition.

It was an obsession.

The obsession of the best in the world.

It is hard to imagine what impact this wave will have on Jang Seo’s future.

“Father, I was in the process of executing a spy who was threatening the new religion. Please allow me to finish the matter quickly.”

While he was contemplating, Cheonmugi approached him with a confident gait, bowed down, and asked for permission. Then, he moved his eyes slightly and breathed a murderous aura at Jang Yiseo.

‘You alone will be killed today.’

Jang Seo also looked at Cheon Ma with nervous eyes. For now, he is the only one he can trust.

The tension is so high that no one can even breathe properly.

Once the verdict is made, the corresponding rewards and punishments must also be clear.

Finally, the devil’s mouth opened.

“Do so.”

This can’t be happening! Heavenly Demon’s permission has been given. A merciless permission to execute Jang Yi-seo!

In an instant, joy and sorrow were mixed.

“thank you!”

The corners of Cheonmugi and Ilsogung’s lips were hung on their ears, and the faces of many people, including Jang I-seo, were covered in ashen shadows.

Then, at that moment, Cheonmugi opened his mouth with an evil smile.

“One before that.”

The heavy mouth of the Heavenly Horse opened again.

“I have to finish the rewards I wasn’t able to give last time.”

A commotion of doubt arose. Cheonmugi asked with a somewhat bewildered expression.

“Isn’t that already a done deal?”

“There is still one left.”

Cheonma turns his head and smiles.

“Jang-seo.”

This is ridiculous! Why is his name mentioned again? Cheonmugi shouted with a thoughtful expression on his face.

“Jang Yi-seo is merely the youngest’s assistant. The youngest and Chilsogung have already received awards, so how can you give them to me again?”

“Are you saying that all you did was eliminate Cheonaksura?”

Cheonma said bluntly. Cheonmugi couldn’t close his mouth at this. Who killed whom?

“Jang Yi-seo was the first to detect Dora-ok’s rebellion, and he personally eliminated Cheon-ak-sura. Is there a greater achievement than this?”

The crowd erupted in excitement at Cheonma’s words.

“May the Heavenly Demon Lord Manmaangbok-!”

“May the Heavenly Demon Lord Manmaangbok-!”

This is it. This is the right judgment. It is not to threaten to kill them out of the blue.

“But Jang is a spy, Father! How can I… … .”

If he backs down here, the Thousand-Moo-Ki will be over. Jang I-Seo-Man did not back down and fought with the determination to kill him.

And that was the dumbest choice of the day.

“The messenger of light, the elders, the clan leader. And you. So you’re saying that a spy did what no one else could do?”

“That, that… … .”

“If they are worse than spies… … they should die.”

Shh …

The murderous spirit of the Heavenly Demon, more terrifying than that of the King of Hell, gushed out. Beads of sweat ran down Cheonmugi’s body as if it had been soaked in rain.

Thud. My knees naturally fall to the ground.

And that’s not all.

The entire Ilsogung Palace, including the Ghost Demon Army and the Four Guardians, was like that.

My breathing became rapid, I felt dizzy and nauseous.

It felt like the scythe of death was placed on my neck.

‘I’m going to die. I’m going to die for sure.’

Cheonmugi’s eyes welled up with tears. On the other hand, Cheonma raised the corners of his lips and asked affectionately.

“Tell me. Is that so?”

“No. No, Father. Black… … Jang-i-seon is not a spy!”

“Then what is it?”

“Jang Yi-seon… … is a hero who saved Cheon-san… … .”

“But you tried to frame that person.”

“The boy… … has committed a great sin… … .”

“Yeah. I guess your current position is a burden to you.”

“No! Absolutely not, Father!”

“Go back to the palace.”

“ah……!”

A cruel notice was delivered by Cheonma.

Cheonmu-gi had a pitiful expression on his face, like a farmer who had lost all his property.

And Cheonma looked around the crowd and then looked at Jang Yiseo again.

Jang Yi-seo’s heart raced at the sight of Cheon-ma’s gaze. He really had no idea that he would come out like this.

Not only did he save me, he even tried to give me a gift.

That’s the biggest reward too.

The crowd watching this also noticed the situation and began to grow more and more excited and expectant.

He gave the Ten-In-Chief and the Hundred-In-Chief to Maeng-Hwi and Sa-Hae-Ryeong, and gave the key to the treasure vault to Mu-Hwan-Seong.

And Mao and Qixiao Palace were allowed to enter the Manma Tomb.

Then what do you plan to give to Jang Seo, who has contributed the most?

Soon, the devil’s mouth opened wide.

“I hereby command this… … Vice-Chancellor.”

A tectonic shift has begun in the power structure of Cheonsan!
