Episode 103 One who looks into the mind of God (3)
The next morning.
“The Holy Spirit has departed! Everyone please be polite!”
The central square of the civil war, which was splendidly and stylishly decorated, had a solemn atmosphere unlike before.
The square was very spacious, with a huge statue of an evil spirit in the center and open spaces on all sides. And that huge space was filled with countless people.
But no one opened their mouths. No, I was even careful about my breathing.
This is because the one and only Absolute One of the Demonic Murim is coming towards the central square here.
Duuuung! Duuuuuung!
A magnificent drum sound coming from far away.
From the Demon Goddess Palace to this place, it was a distance that could be easily walked by an ordinary person. However, everyone gathered here already bowed their heads.
The sun of the Demon Murim, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church.
I was able to see how fearful and reverent the Heavenly Demon was to them.
The front row of the crowd was occupied by demonic beasts, both internal and external, of Shingyo. Imdiately behind them, the high-ranking mbers of the Demonic Seven Houses lined up one after another.
Among them, the place where Jiunhoe was standing was right behind Soyeonsim.
Ji Woonhoe’s face, with his head down, was different from usual. The sharp eyes and stubborn mouth were still the sa, but he looked gaunt for so reason.
Duuuung! Duuuung!
The sound of drums is gradually but surely getting closer.
As I quietly listened to that sound, I felt like my heart was dropping. This is because the heavy ringing in my ears felt like an evil command from my ancestors.
Ji Woonhoe’s eyelids fluttered.
It seed as if I could hear a conversation I didn’t want to rember over the sound of the drums.
– …can not believe it.
– It’s true. If anything, could you please call the Head of Criminal Justice here right now?
-…!
– Do you understand why I detained your third son? Ji Young-hyeon was clearly not normal. You didn’t even know what power lurked in your son’s body?
– That kid was never like that…!
– Moreover, Ji Kang-hyeon is suspected to be the real culprit of such a terrible cri.
Isn’t the Demon Sword House hiding sothing? Are you plotting so kind of plan that should never be discovered by the Protestant Church?
– That’s nonsense!
– Then prove it. With the promise you made directly from your mouth.
thud! thud!
Suddenly, a huge palanquin appeared in the distance.
Sigh! Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
It was a palanquin, but it was almost like a house. Under the large roof decorated with various treasures, thick golden tassels were hanging down and swaying to and fro.
In order to move the palanquin, as many as fifty horsen had to act as palanquin workers.
Considering that they were all skilled in magic, I could see how big the palanquin was.
No powerful person in the powerful martial arts world would have ever ridden a palanquin like that. Even the emperor’s palanquin wouldn’t do that.
A treasure created over hundreds of days by the best craftsn to serve the gods.
The Demon Emperor finally revealed itself in its entirety.
Ji Yun-hoe’s eyes shook rcilessly as he glanced at Demon Emperor.
Nurous demons were following behind the Demon Emperor. The leaders of the civil war were also secret guards belonging to the Demon God Palace who only followed the religious leader and did not know their true identity.
And among the secret escorts, a young man wearing fancy clothing was seen.
It was his son Ji Kang-hyeon.
– I can’t believe it. Are you not jealous of my son? Or to reduce competition…!
– The fourth one has already been harpooned in my hand. Now, I am stuck in my house, unable to live or die, and am receiving treatnt.
-…!
– The succession battle began long ago. As you can see, I can kill your son whenever I want.
– this…!
– So, don’t have unnecessary doubts.
I don’t know why you want to have your son beco your disciple, but he is a serious criminal who has already killed seven Protestant believers.
Do you really want to send a son like that here?
– ….
– As I said before, I can’t give you much ti to think. I hope you quickly make up your mind.
– I have to look at Younghyun first. Guide to where Younghyun is now!
– I’ll show you. But before that, please call your eldest son first. After talking to him, go see the third son with him. That will work.
– ….
– why? Don’t you like it?
– It’s not that I don’t like it. Right now, Kanghyun can’t call even if he wants to.
– …Damn, I’ve already entered the Demon God’s Palace. Well, you need to learn the etiquette of serving as a grand official in advance. Still too fast?
– ….
– There’s nothing else to do when it’s like this. I will show you your third son.
– Hurry up and guide !
– Good. Before that, promise one thing.
-What promise are you talking about?!
Coooooo!
The Demon Emperor was placed in front of a huge devil statue.
Even though it was placed gently, the shock is transmitted to the ground. The richly decorated mahwanggeo was heavier than it looked.
At that ti, the two demons who were playing the role of palanquin carriers approached the back of the mahwanggeo with solemn steps and pulled the long, thick rope.
Sigh!
The huge curtain rose slowly and slowly. It obscures the view of the leader riding inside, but the leader riding inside can clearly see outside.
The craftsn called it the Heavenly Demon’s Hapjang (天魔揮帳).
Clap!
Finally, the Heavenly Demon appeared, sitting on a silk cushion twice as big as an ordinary blanket.
Everyone bowed on the spot.
“Dominion Holy Teaching! “Heavenly Demon and Immortal!”
After the reverential and loud roar of the demons on campus, all the demons gathered here shouted.
“The wicked children of the devil have an audience with the Holy Spirit!”
The mont when the voice raised from the lower abdon passes through the throat and spreads out into the world.
Crumbling!
All the demons heard the sound of thunder echoing from beyond the sky.
It’s not real thunder. But it was also the sound of real thunder.
Phew!
Lee Cheon-sang shows off his skills for the first ti in a long ti in front of everyone.
Everyone who saw his energy wave was captivated by the illusion that they were standing alone on a barren cliff.
Just by encountering energy waves, many of these demons collectively experience hallucinations and auditory hallucinations.
‘That’s it.’
My clenched fist was shaking.
‘I wanted to see my son revered as a god in a place where I could not stand.’
Ji Woonhoe gritted his teeth.
‘My son, who I was so proud of, had no doubt that it was possible. But!’
But… but!
‘How on earth did you commit such an outrageous act?!’
– How do you feel?
– ….
– You will find out by checking the pulse. How terrifying is this power hidden in your third son’s body?
– ….
– What on earth have you done so far? Why didn’t you know that sothing so great was hidden in this guy’s body?
When he was captured, he was so secretive that even a master who had reached his peak could not be recognized, but aren’t you this guy’s father?
– I… I…
– This guy was aiming for that friend’s sword. It was almost to the point of being blind.
-…!
– Good. Now it’s just a headache to wonder how this power is hidden in the body of the third son.
We just want confirmation from the matriarch that we have proven our innocence. Do you admit it?
– …I admit it.
– So what should the head of the family do now?
– ….
– Do you want to see your son beco a disciple of the religious leader and beco an unscrupulous person who murders the religious mbers of this church again?
Do you want to see all kinds of sha brought upon you and your family’s na brought into disrepute?
– that…!
– I’m telling you, don’t tell I’m going to tell you not to do sothing like that again. The head of the family knows full well that this is nonsense.
– ….
– Furthermore, he must be punished for the cris he has already committed. If this is sothing that happened in your family, your eldest son ssed with a mber of our church.
-…!
– Please choose. The fate of the Demon Sword Family for hundreds of years depends on your conscience.
“Welco everyone.”
Even though his voice is not loud, Cheon-Sang Lee’s voice is clearly heard in everyone’s ears.
Just hearing that one word makes my limbs lose strength. At the sa ti, strength goes into your lower back.
Sarah.
Lee Cheon-sang stood up.
Today, he too was dressed very formally, unlike usual, wearing a dragon robe.
Although he did not wear a crown, his long flowing hair seed to suit his mood well.
“You probably know.”
He looked around.
As he was looking at the audience, he suddenly looked at the roof of a five-story building in the distance.
Standing on the roof was a tall young man and a golden fox, still a cub.
‘He’s still a cub.’
I knew it existed, but this was my first ti seeing it in person.
Flash!
Sirang also seed to recognize his presence, and his strange five-colored eyes were shining.
‘So, it’s still in the form of a baby, but does that an the strength it has built up so far is still intact?’
The corners of Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth rose.
Interesting.
“This committee does not like things that are cumberso.”
It was undoubtedly true. It was the first ti he had ever dressed up so well at the Pasun Festival held every year.
It was not a courtesy to the demons gathered here. In the first place, there is no need for God to show courtesy to humans.
The reason why he ca here with his own formality.
It was because of an encounter with a ghost who was thought to be here and who, as expected, was looking at him from afar.
He beca a spirit creature after gathering his power for hundreds of years, but he is another demon who deceived the world and went through reincarnation on his own.
Lee Cheon-sang was truly satisfied to see him living up to his standard.
“But I’ve co a long way, so I should at least show my gratitude to him.”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Four bottles of Six Thousand Heart Pills appeared at the feet of the gigantic devil statue.
No one could see where or how it appeared. Everyone had their heads down, but even if you looked at them, you wouldn’t have been able to tell how they were in harmony.
“Let the heads of the Seven Families take the six thousand heart pearls. “It won’t taste bad as it is a liquor made directly.”
At the sa ti, the heads of the family, including Ji Woon-hoe, shouted.
“I bow to the grace of the Holy Ghost!”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
“Let’s end our face-to-face eting with a brief introduction.”
At that mont, Ji Woon-hoe’s eyes shook greatly.
Seoliang and Soyeonsim were no different. Everyone except Gogu, who could not leave the penal hall empty, had gathered here to catch the real culprit.
“As of Friday.”
Burr.
There was turbulence in my shaking fists. Ji Woonhoe worried until the last mont.
‘Can’t we just move on like this? ‘Do I really need to tarnish my family’s reputation with my words?’
As he hesitated, Seoryang’s cold face appeared in his mind.
– The fate of the Demon Sword Family for hundreds of years depends on your conscience.
Conscience? Is my conscience more important than my face? Is it more important than the honor of the Demon Sword Family?
An event that almost no one rembers happened the year before last!
For a mont, I thought of Mine, who had died unjustly.
An unknown Mine who had never seen his face but was praying for his religious leader until the end.
Even now, two years later, that demon will still be wandering the Nine Heavens, covered in stigma.
‘…I was foolish.’
If the Three Dukes had decided to do so, they could have reported it to the religious leader right away.
If he tries to bury this situation now, the situation in the Demon Sword Family may beco even more ridiculous.
Because the Three Dukes will never sit idly by and watch this situation.
‘Did you at least give a chance to choose?’
Is telling the truth with my own mouth truly the way to protect the honor of the Demon Sword Family?
The mont Ji Woon-hoe closed his eyes, Lee Cheon-sang finished speaking.
“I accept Ji Kang-hyeon, the eldest son of the Demon Sword Family, as my disciple.”
At that mont, all the demons shouted.
“I sincerely congratulate you on gaining new divine blood!”
As this was sothing that all the leaders already knew, the reaction was imdiate. Even if you didn’t know, it was natural to shout in congratulations when the sect leader said he would accept a disciple.
This is the mont when a new disciple of the Heavenly Demon Church is born.
It was right then.
“Please wait!!”
Jump and jump.
Ji Woon-hoe walked forward with his upper body lowered and knelt in front of the devil statue.
“Jiunhoe, the head of the Demon Sword House, risks death to offer you advice!”
Xu Liang’s eyes lit up, and Xiao Yanshen clasped both hands.
Ji Woonhoe shouted with indescribable emotion.
“I beg your Majesty, but my son has committed a great sin…!”
“stop.”
Wooooow!
The square sank into silence at the Demon God’s majestic voice.
Lee Cheon-sang glanced down at Jiwoonhoe and closed the Cheonma Insignia.
“The Demon Swordsman should take the Six Thousand Heart Pillars and enter the Demon God Palace.”
Coo!
The curtain closed and the Demon Emperor was heard.
Ji Yunhui was embarrassed and looked up at Ma Huang Ge. However, the Demon Emperor had already made a big circle and was heading toward the Demon God Palace.
He wasn’t the only one surprised.
“What is it?”
Both Xu Liang and Xiao Yanshen couldn’t help but be embarrassed. They didn’t know that Li Cheon-sang would end the declaration so easily, and they didn’t know that he would stop the Demon Swordsman’s words in front of everyone.
At this point, everyone experiences their own surprise and confusion.
The situation was taking an unexpected turn.
