Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 263

Kill each other (5)

Was it because Ilmok had vomited blood? Those who had been watching Ilmok’s training from one side of the training ground approached him with startled faces.

“Brother!”

“Confucius!”

“Are you okay!?”

To their cries, Ichimoku responded by waving his hands.

“Don’t worry. I just got a little injured while practicing too hard. I think I’ll feel better once I go back and get some exercise.”

After saying that, Ichimoku put down his sword, which had only the handle left, on the floor and headed towards his own hall.

The group watched his back with various expressions.

“Brother… .”

While some people had expressions filled with worry like Hyukryeon Seon-ah, others looked on with awe like Dam-bin.

‘Obviously, before leaving for Sacheon, he had similar skills to my wife… .’

Now, no matter what he did, Dam-bin had reached a level where he couldn’t win.

It was truly amazing.

While he was wandering around in a nightmare, having been defeated by the Blood Sect’s formation, Confucius Ichimoku not only single-handedly destroyed the formation, but also gained tremendous enlightenment through the successive bloody battles.

That wasn’t all.

‘In the meantime, you even recovered the remains of the Bloody Heavenly Demon. Prince Pal is truly the revival of our new religion.’

Dam-bin thought about the letter and the box containing the bones that had been sent to the headquarters today.

If the letter and the box arrived at the headquarters, Heavenly Demon would be very pleased.

While she was feeling proud of the work she had done.

Jin Ha-yeon’s expression, which would normally have been as proud of Ilmok as Dam-bin, looked somewhat bitter.

And for a few days, each day of Nanju passed peacefully.

Some people are lost in thought, some are happy to relieve their sorrows from the Cheonmasingyo, and Ilmok spends a few days devoting himself to training.

“…Who said you were coming just now?”

Untimely guests showed up at Ilmok.

* * *

The headquarters of the Tianma Sect, located in the Tianmendae Mountains of Xinjiang.

A large hall located at the heart of the headquarters. The leaders of the Cheonmasin religion gathered together in the Cheonmasin Hall.

Including the left and right guardian deity, the heads of various organizations of the Cheonmasingyo and the heads of the five great demon families.

The masters who would have easily been leaders of a force in the Central Plains were all bowing down to the Heavenly Horse with their whole body and soul in their hands.

“Raise your head.”

Those who were bowing raised their heads at the sound of Cheonma’s voice that seemed to encompass the entire palace.

In the hands of Cheonma, who was showing off a larger presence than usual, was a chest and a letter.

“These are the things sent by the youngest son who has left on a special mission instructed by the old man.”

“!!”

At Cheonma’s explanation, the eyes of those gathered in the hall were filled with excitement.

‘please.’

‘What have you done again!!’

Feelings of anxiety and anger.

Whenever news spread that the youngest prince had done something, a new task would arise a few days later, which was the usual course of events.

However, they could not bring themselves to show their disrespect in front of the great Heavenly Horse, so they had to quickly bow their heads.

Whether he knew their thoughts or not, Cheonma looked at Eunwigakju, who was waiting on one side of Cheonmajeon.

Eunwigakju walked around the inside of the pavilion, handing out letters that he had been keeping for some time, one by one.

“This is a transcription of the letter the youngest sent. Everyone, read it.”

Those who had puzzled expressions read the letter as instructed by Cheonma.

Immediately afterwards, a storm surged into their eyes again.

The look in his eyes was a little different from before.

Shock. Or maybe awe.

“Ha, then what’s in that box….”

Cheonma nodded at the monologue of someone who couldn’t hold back his surging emotions.

“That’s right. These are the remains of the old Heavenly Demon Lord, the Bloody Heavenly Demon Lord.”

“Ahhh….”

Some people were so moved that they shed tears, while others immediately prostrated themselves and recited passages from the scriptures.

Cheonma, who had waited for them to express even a little bit of their emotions, lightly stamped his feet.

thud!

But unlike those light movements, a heavy sound of footsteps and an oppressive aura spread out in all directions.

Only then did those who had been speaking in tongues and shedding tears while being intoxicated by the doctrine come to their senses and look up at the Heavenly Horse.

“The reason I called you here today was to tell you to prepare for the festival.”

“Is this a festival to celebrate the return of the Bloody Heavenly Demon?”

“That’s right.”

Prepare for the festival.

Even though a new task arose in the midst of an already busy schedule, this time no one showed any sign of discomfort.

“The festival will be held in two weeks, and until then, you must stop all your work and focus solely on preparing for the festival.”

“I will follow the command of the Most High!”

“In addition, the festival in two weeks will be a day when our new religion resolves the grudge that has not been resolved for over a hundred years, so we will designate it as a holiday for all the believers in Xinjiang to rest and share in the joy.”

As soon as the Heavenly Demon’s declaration was over, the demon cult members all bowed down to the Heavenly Demon.

“Thousand years! Thousand years! Thousand years!!”

“Heavenly horse has arrived! May all fortunes come true!”

After the emotional storm of joy created by the fanatics has swept over.

thud.

The Heavenly Horse, who had once again stamped his foot, added in a heavy tone while scattering the terrible magic energy of the Heavenly Horse God’s Art in all directions.

“Lastly, this festival is only a festival to praise the hard work of the followers. We must not mention even a single word about the remains of the Bloody Heavenly Demon or the youngest.”

“!?”

The people gathered looked at Cheonma with puzzled expressions, which were not typical of fanatics, at Cheonma’s warning that was completely unrelated to the previous content.

“If this incident spreads, anyone who is even slightly related to it will be treated as a traitor to the Murim Alliance and punished, regardless of their status or achievements.”

However, since they were all people who held important positions in the Cheonmasin Church, it was not difficult to understand the reason.

‘… The fact that the remains of the Bloody Heavenly Demon have been found means that the youngest prince has visited Sacheon.’

‘It’s to protect the youngest prince who is on a mission in the Central Plains.’

As they began to make expressions that indicated they understood his intentions, Cheonma stroked his beard and spoke.

“The sacred ceremony to honor the soul of Bloody Heavenly Demon will be held here at the Heavenly Demon Hall, with only the most important figures of the religion gathered to hold it. The An clan heads should be aware of this and prepare for the ceremony.”

“I will follow the will of the Most High.”

Traditionally, the head of the An clan, who presided over the religious ceremonies of Cheonmasingyo, paid homage by prostrating himself.

Immediately after everyone left to prepare for the festival, only Cheonma, Eunwigakju, and Grand Duke Wi Jinhak remained in Cheonmajeon and began to converse as usual.

“As expected of the youngest, Master. You have done something so easily that no one has been able to do it in over a hundred years.”

“Hahaha. Even this old man thinks so. Didn’t the youngest do something that even I couldn’t do?”

As Cheonma stroked his beard and smiled happily, Wi Jin-hak quickly knelt down and tried to tear his head off the floor.

“Please kill me, Master! I have been rude!”

He realized it too late. His words, depending on how you interpret them, could mean that the current Cheonmain Master was incompetent and couldn’t even accomplish what Ilmok had done.

But before his head could hit the floor, a massive amount of energy emanating from the Heavenly Horse stopped him.

“It is done. I know that you do not intend to slander this Master.”

Cheonma, who had spoken as if to appease Wei Jin-hak, raised his first disciple again and said:

“And this old man thinks so too. It was brave of him to find the remains of the Bloody Heavenly Demon. In the meantime, didn’t the youngest do two or three things at the same time?”

“Yes, Master. It is truly a joyous thing that the youngest one, who went to the Central Plains to take revenge, has succeeded in his revenge this time.”

“Hehehe. In addition, since you ruined the case that the Blood Cult tried to frame us for, I think the hypocrites in the Central Plains will have a hard time finding the Blood Cult for a while.”

“That is indeed correct, Master. However, this disciple, I cannot help but feel angry. Didn’t those scum of the Blood Sect dare to meddle in the secret affairs of the Bloody Heavenly Demon?”

As they talked, Wei Jin-hak’s eyes were burning brightly, as if his anger had flared up again.

As if to appease such a disciple, Cheonma showed a hollow smile.

It was a very gentle smile, unlike a moment ago when he left a warning to the disciples.

“Hahaha. The youngest one incited a fight between them and the hypocrites of the Central Plains, so isn’t this also revenge?”

“I am sorry. I feel sorry that I, as a disciple, am not yet fully trained and cannot take revenge with my own hands.”

“Hahaha. This old man is the same. But, for a greater purpose, shouldn’t he also know how to endure?”

As he said this, Cheonma turned his head and looked at the box containing the remains of the Bloody Heavenly Demon.

Wi Jin-hak, who understood the meaning, lowered his head and said.

“My disciple, I will keep this in mind and keep it in mind again.”

Aside from his revenge against the Blood Cult, he also kept the fact that he had found the remains of the Blood Demon a secret.

The only people who know this fact are the highest ranking members of the Cheonmasin Church.

In the Cheonma Shingyo sect, which worships Cheonma as a god, hiding this was a truly momentous decision.

This could be seen as evidence that he was considering this work to be important and was cherishing every moment.

While Wi Jin-hak was trying to gauge his master’s intentions, Cheon-ma was looking at the box containing the remains of the Bloody Heavenly Demon, and was thinking of something else.

‘Please wait a little longer.’

It had an ambiguous meaning.

It also meant that they were asked to wait for the day when the remains would be returned to the Cheonmasin Church.

It also meant that the day he would leave for the world like the Bloody Heavenly Horse was not far off.

While Cheonma thinks about his own lifespan, which only has a few years left.

Wi Jin-hak, who was looking at the box containing the remains, opened his mouth.

“I hope the day will come soon when we can reveal that the Bloody Heavenly Demon has returned, Master.”

“Hahaha. The Bloody Heavenly Demon is also eagerly awaiting our new religion’s return to the Central Plains. He must be waiting in heaven with joy.”

“!!!”

Wei Jin-hak’s eyes widened as he grasped the meaning behind Cheonma’s words.

What I meant was that on the day the Cheonma Shingyo took over the Central Plains, they would reveal that they had recovered the remains of the Bloody Heavenly Demon.

And judging by the tone of the Master’s voice, it seemed that he thought that day was not too far away.

In reality, Cheonma was drawing a big picture. A huge picture that he was able to draw thanks to his youngest disciple.

‘I think we need to pay a little more attention to the flow of the central plains.’

Because of the plan set by the youngest, there was a high possibility that the attention of the Murim Alliance would be drawn towards the Blood Cult.

If the Moorim Alliance’s gaze shifts from Xinjiang to the interior of the Central Plains, certain plans will become possible.

Likewise, the plan that I was able to come up with thanks to Ichimoku.

‘It was said that one day you skip work and one day you skip food.’

In the past, the Heavenly Demons were thought to simply make disciples do things according to their doctrines and train them in magic.

However, thanks to the youngest disciple, a change of thinking occurred.

After all, as humans, our faith can only grow if we are shown a way to make a living.

The same goes for nurturing talent. If you can afford to eat and live comfortably, you can devote yourself to something, whether it be training in magic or studying.

In that sense, Xinjiang was a very poor place.

Although we are currently improving the environment through various reforms, we are bound to reach a limit at some point.

No matter how devout the believers were, living penniless only lasted for a day or two, and if they continued to do so for several years, there was a risk that something would go wrong.

And Cheonma had already thought of a way to feed all the believers in Xinjiang.

I was just judging the timing of attempting that plan because of the letters I was receiving from the Central Plains.

However, if a war broke out between the Blood Cult and the Murim Alliance in the Central Plains, they could have tried that plan at any time.

‘Hehehe. If it’s that kid, he’ll definitely achieve more than I expected.’

The right person for the job had already been chosen.

His precious disciple, whom he cherishes terribly and trusts without a doubt.
