"Do you feel it?"
"Yes."
"If you do anything foolish, your whole body will be torn to shreds."
Elder Tian, who was taking Cho Myung, threatened.
As befitting that threat, on each floor, there were people everywhere who were exuding a chilling aura.
Cho Myung looked around and followed Elder Tian.
Elder Tian took Cho Myung to the top floor of the seven-story pavilion. And he went up to the roof through the stairs. Surprisingly, the roof was not covered with tiles, but a garden had been made.
A garden on the roof.
Whoever had designed it, it was a truly amazing idea.
Since the floor space of the seven-story pavilion was so large, the garden on the roof was also very large.
Elder Tian took Cho Myung and headed to the inner part of the garden.
After passing a small pond, a woman was sitting in an elegant pavilion made of sandalwood and drinking tea.
She was a middle-aged beauty in a gorgeous white robe.
The Heavenly Pavilion Master, Sado Yong'a!
The ruler of the most splendid place among the nine great lands of the Demonic Path.
When Cho Myung arrived, even the gesture of putting down the teacup was overflowing with grace.
"Pavilion Master, this is the person Fuyong reported."
When Elder Tian bowed his waist and reported, the Heavenly Pavilion Master turned her head.
A face that emitted a beautiful light like the moonlight.
Cho Myung was surprised to receive such a feeling.
He had thought that all the demons living in the land of the Demonic Path would be terrifying, but Xue Fuyong and the Heavenly Pavilion Master were like that.
Rather, they were so much more beautiful than the people he had seen before that he was mistaken as to whether they were really demons and whether he was really in the land of the demons.
"You wanted to see ?"
The Heavenly Pavilion Master asked.
Only then did Cho Myung, who had co to his senses, nod his head.
"I have sothing to ask."
At Cho Myung's bold words, surprise flashed in the Heavenly Pavilion Master's two eyes.
'To break free from the Heavenly Silkworm's Illusionary Bewitchnt Art in one go?'
The Heavenly Silkworm's Illusionary Bewitchnt Art was a kind of soul-subduing art.
It subdued the soul of the viewer and made them do whatever the user of the Heavenly Silkworm's Illusionary Bewitchnt Art said, even if it was to cut their own throat.
Of course, a master who had accumulated a great deal of internal energy could defend against it.
But that was the story of masters who were on par with the Heavenly Pavilion Master or those who had trained a great deal of Taoist power or Buddhist faith.
'Since he's the one who killed the Cold-Blooded God, he might be as great as Fuyong said.'
Not only his skill, but he was also young.
If he could be brought in as Fuyong had said, he could be a great help to the Heavenly Pavilion in the future.
The Heavenly Pavilion Master hid her surprise and expectation and faced Cho Myung.
"I'm curious. What did you want to ask that you ca to find ?"
"The Immortal Divine Demon. I want to know about him. Where he ca from, where he learned his martial arts, and...!"
"Shut up!"
Suddenly, the Heavenly Pavilion Master roared like a thunderbolt and shot up.
Cho Myung, who was puzzled by her sudden change in attitude.
The Heavenly Pavilion Master glared at him as if to kill him and shouted with an enraged face.
"Elder Tian! Tear that brat's mouth!"
"Yes, sir!"
Before Cho Myung could say anything, Elder Tian rushed in.
A red energy was waving in his two hands, and he looked very dangerous.
Thwack!
Elder Tian, who had stopped at Cho Myung's first punch.
Without even a mont to be surprised, he was pushed back by the second punch that followed imdiately.
"How dare you!"
The Heavenly Pavilion Master's fierce anger was heard.
When Cho Myung turned around, the Heavenly Pavilion Master, who had co flying through the air as if riding the wind, was stretching out her white hand.
A hand that looked so cold that it was chilling.
It was dangerous. Cho Myung, who had instinctively sensed it, clenched his fist and stretched it out with all his might.
Thwack!
Just before the fist strike that was stretching out like a thunderbolt and the Heavenly Pavilion Master's white hand clashed.
The white hand that bent its angle diagonally.
Thwack!
The mont the formless energy that had poured out from Cho Myung's fist had its direction changed and the wrong floor exploded, the Heavenly Pavilion Master's speed suddenly increased, and her white palm touched Cho Myung's chest.
Thwack!
Cho Myung was sent flying back and fell to the floor.
It was the mont the Heavenly Pavilion Master's experience had defeated Cho Myung's strength.
"To dare to make him an object of curiosity! I'll tear you to shreds until you beg to save you!"
The Heavenly Pavilion Master, who had shouted venomously, flew towards Cho Myung.
At this ti, Cho Myung, who had shot up, took the stance of the Hundred Strikes Art.
"Hmph!"
The Heavenly Pavilion Master, who approached in an instant, snorted coldly and stretched out her white hand.
"......!"
Cho Myung suddenly lowered his stance.
At that, the mont the Heavenly Pavilion Master's hand sharply changed direction downwards.
Cho Myung's two fists stretched out like a thunderbolt. The Heavenly Pavilion Master, who had frowned, withdrew the hand that was about to smash Cho Myung's head and at the sa ti began to defend.
She could not help it.
Cho Myung's two fists were too fast and strong.
Thwack, thwack, thwack, thwack!
Cho Myung's fist strikes that poured down like a hailstorm.
It was a truly wave-like offensive.
It was an indiscriminate punching that aid for all the vital points of the whole body without distinction.
The Heavenly Pavilion Master, thinking that she would be constantly on the defensive like this, decided to counterattack and as soon as she blocked Cho Myung's fist with her right hand, she poured out an even stronger internal energy and stretched it out.
It was at that mont that Cho Myung, instead of avoiding it, took a step closer. At the sa ti, a fist that shot up, aiming for the Heavenly Pavilion Master's lower jaw.
The Heavenly Pavilion Master, who sensed that her lower jaw would be broken at the sa ti as her hand hit Cho Myung's chest, moved her body back and at the sa ti bent her head back and avoided it.
Thwack!
Cho Myung's fist lost its target and shot up into the empty air.
Since she had overco the crisis, it was an opportunity.
The Heavenly Pavilion Master's right hand stretched out towards Cho Myung's heart.
It was at this ti.
Thwack!
Cho Myung's arm, which had shot up into the empty air, bent, and his elbow struck the Heavenly Pavilion Master's chest.
"......!"
The Heavenly Pavilion Master, who widened her eyes at the dizzying shock.
Grab!
Cho Myung's hand grabbed the Heavenly Pavilion Master's lower jaw and then slamd it on the floor. Just before the Heavenly Pavilion Master's back of the head hit the hard floor.
Thwack!
The Heavenly Pavilion Master's right palm hit the floor.
With that rebound and at the sa ti, the Heavenly Pavilion Master's body spun like a top and slipped out of Cho Myung's grasp.
Cho Myung quickly followed and swung his fist.
Thwack!
A roar burst out.
But using that shock, the Heavenly Pavilion Master moved back.
Cho Myung shook off his disappointnt and took the stance of the Hundred Strikes Art again.
"You're no ordinary brat!"
The Heavenly Pavilion Master let out a cold roar.
At the sa ti, a snow-white energy began to be emitted from her whole body.
Her white skin beca even whiter, and her black pupils were also dyed white.
The Heavenly Phoenix Vermilion Bird Art!
It was the Heavenly Pavilion Master's unique ultimate technique.
"To dare to tarnish his dignity! I'll make you regret it for a long, long ti!"
The Heavenly Pavilion Master shot out.
Cho Myung, who was contemplating whether to rush in to et her, strengthened the stance of the Hundred Strikes Art and held his ground.
Since the Heavenly Pavilion Master's montum was unusual, he was thinking of gathering the strength to rush in and exert a strong blow.
But it was the mont the Heavenly Pavilion Master had shot out to about ten steps in front.
Thwack!
Suddenly, a reddish-black light shot up from the top of Cho Myung's head.
It was the Immortal Demonic Aura in the shape of a snake.
"No!"
Cho Myung shouted.
The Immortal Demonic Aura had shot out towards the Heavenly Pavilion Master.
If the Immortal Demonic Aura were to steal the Heavenly Pavilion Master's internal energy like this, it would be the end.
But surprisingly, the Immortal Demonic Aura stopped right in front of the Heavenly Pavilion Master.
What was even more surprising was that the Heavenly Pavilion Master also stopped rushing in and just stared blankly, and the Immortal Demonic Aura, as if it knew the Heavenly Pavilion Master well, slowly circled around her.
"My lord...!"
The Heavenly Pavilion Master stared with a blank face as if she had lost her soul and then suddenly vomited blood.
At the sudden appearance of the Immortal Demonic Aura, she was so surprised that she had let go of the Heavenly Phoenix Vermilion Bird Art that she had been operating strongly, and to make matters worse, she had received a strong ntal shock that had suddenly swept over her and had suffered an internal injury.
***
"The Pavilion Master was the one who served the lord most closely. So she was so angry that you ntioned him, so I hope you will take that into consideration."
Elder Tian's attitude towards Cho Myung was extrely polite.
He could not help it.
Since he had inherited the Immortal Demonic Aura of the Immortal Divine Demon, who had been the sky of the Demonic Path, he had inherited his dignity.
Cho Myung nodded his head.
While the Heavenly Pavilion Master was sitting cross-legged and circulating her energy, he had heard the story of the relationship between the Immortal Divine Demon and the Heavenly Pavilion Master from Elder Tian.
To the Heavenly Pavilion Master, the Immortal Divine Demon was her lord and lover, and to the Immortal Divine Demon, the Heavenly Pavilion Master was the only woman he had given his heart to and his most trusted subordinate.
"On the day of the Heaven Overturning Bloodbath. The lord gave a separate order to the Pavilion Master and sent her to Qinghai Province. It was sothing I found out later, but it seems the lord was trying to prevent the Pavilion Master from being caught up in the Heaven Overturning Bloodbath."
"Are you saying the Divine Demon knew that everyone would attack?"
"Yes."
"Even that the subordinates who followed him would betray him?"
"Yes."
"And yet he fought without avoiding it?"
"He was not one to avoid it."
"......!"
"He was that kind of person. Even if the King of Hell of the underworld were to descend, he was a person who would rush in with a hearty laugh instead of running away."
Cho Myung recalled Dugu Wujung.
It was the sight of him shouting loudly without being intimidated even with blades stuck all over his body.
As if he was not afraid of death at all, he had roared like a beast at the Six Orthodox Heavens.
"Young master Ban."
Elder Tian called carefully.
When Cho Myung looked at him, he showed an even more careful attitude and asked.
"May I ask what your relationship with the lord is?"
What kind of relationship was it?
It was clear that it was a relationship where fate and fate were connected. But there was nothing that could be said to be a specific relationship.
"I need to know. What is your relationship with him?"
The Heavenly Pavilion Master's voice was heard.
When he turned his head, she had finished circulating her energy and was staring at him.
Shaking pupils.
A face distorted with complicated emotions.
How could she not be confused? The death of her lover and lord, whose body she could not even recover.
Everyone had said so. That the lord's body had turned to dust in the all-out attack of the Righteous-Demonic Alliance masters. They had searched the area around the battlefield where the fight had taken place. They could not find even a trace of the lord's blood anywhere. But a person who had his Immortal Demonic Aura had appeared.
"I also don't know what kind of relationship it is. The ti I t him was... a connection, that's right. It must be a connection. A connection made by fate."
Cho Myung calmly told the story of how he had been sold for silver coins, how he had t the Immortal Divine Demon, Dugu Wujung, and how he had obtained the Immortal Demonic Aura from him and how it had continued until now.
As he had experienced it, without adding or subtracting anything.
The Heavenly Pavilion Master, who closed her eyes after hearing Cho Myung's story.
Although she had hoped, the lord's death was a fact. Since he was such a great person, she had expected that he might return with a smiling face soday, but reality was so heartless.
She opened her eyes.
She spoke with strength, without hiding the hot tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.
"Young master Ban has inherited the lord's Immortal Demonic Aura. Since he obtained it according to the lord's will, he has inherited his dignity."
The Heavenly Pavilion Master's tone had changed.
It was polite, and it flowed heavily, to the point of feeling reverent.
At that atmosphere, Cho Myung stared silently.
The Heavenly Pavilion Master was also silent for a long ti.
She looked at Cho Myung with a complicated and subtle gaze in the midst of her reverence. The silence grew heavy in the midst of that. In the end, Cho Myung, who could not stand the stuffiness, opened his mouth.
"I did not co here out of curiosity. As I said, I have to fight the Six Orthodox Heavens. To do that, I have to beco much stronger than I am now... as strong as him. That's why I ca. To find out more about him."
It was a face full of sincerity.
Since she had heard the story of what Cho Myung had been through, she could fully understand the reason why he wanted to beco stronger and why he had co in search of the footsteps of the Immortal Divine Demon.
The Heavenly Pavilion Master stared silently for a long ti and then opened her mouth, tracing the faint mories of the past.
"The first ti he showed himself was at the Demonic Sect's Grand Festival."
"What is the Demonic Sect's Grand Festival?"
"It's a kind of fighting tournant to determine the master of the Demonic Path. But the difference from a general tournant is that all challengers must enter the Heavenly Middle Demonic Cave and prove themselves by fighting endlessly. He participated in the Demonic Sect's Grand Festival ten years ago and overwheld everyone."
The Heavenly Pavilion Master, who was tracing the faint mories.
The Heavenly Pavilion Master had also participated in the Demonic Sect's Grand Festival. There, she had t Dugu Wujung and had fought countless tis. And like the other participants, she had not won even once.
"Seeing that young master Ban appeared here in ti for the Hidden Demon's Grand Festival, which is ten days away, I think it might really be fate."
"What is the Hidden Demon's Grand Festival?"
"It's literally a fighting tournant of the hidden demons. If you beco the first hidden demon there, you will not only receive the full support of the entire Demonic Path, but you will also receive direct teachings from the masters of the nine great sects of the Demonic Path and ascend to the throne of the best demonic master in the world in ten years."
"What is a hidden demon?"
"It's what is commonly called a rising star in the martial world."
"Are you saying there's a fighting tournant for rising stars?"
"That's right."
"The Hidden Demon's Grand Festival..."
Cho Myung's ears perked up.
Because he needed practical experience to beco stronger, and that was why he had left the clinic and was looking for the tracks of the Immortal Divine Demon.
A desire to participate was rising in Cho Myung's chest.
"Does it look easy?"
"I don't think so. But if I can beco stronger, I definitely want to participate."
"Young master Ban."
"Yes."
"The Heaven Overturning Bloodline that betrayed the lord is a stigma to the nine great sects of the Demonic Path. A stigma that will never be erased. It is a serious and sensitive part to the point that it is even taboo to ntion the lord in the land of the Demonic Path. Opening the Hidden Demon's Grand Festival is a shallow trick to sohow cover up the matter of the Heaven Overturning Bloodline. What do you think those people will do when they find out that a person who has inherited his Immortal Demonic Aura has appeared?"
"......!"
"Moreover, the Heavenly Pavilion is a thorn in the side of the other nine great sects of the Demonic Path. Because it was the closest place to the lord, and it did not participate in their Heaven Overturning Bloodline. Do you know what that ans?"
"They will attack."
"That's right. To be precise, we will be attacked from all sides."
"It doesn't matter to ."
"You still don't understand."
"......?"
"The power of the nine great sects of the Demonic Path is much stronger than young master Ban vaguely feels. The reason the Heavenly Pavilion occupies a position in the nine great sects of the Demonic Path is not because I am as strong as the leaders of the other nine great sects of the Demonic Path or because the martial power of the Heavenly Pavilion is strong. It's because of the financial power. Because the Heavenly Pavilion holds three-tenths of the funds that maintain the Demonic Path."
"......"
"The mont they find out that the Immortal Demonic Aura has appeared, they won't stay still. They will kill young master Ban even if they have to mobilize all the power of the nine great sects of the Demonic Path. Even if you have inherited his dignity, you will have no choice but to die in vain in your current state."
The Heavenly Pavilion Master spoke as if she knew Cho Myung's current state.
But Cho Myung, whose desire to participate in the Hidden Demon's Grand Festival was great, did not notice.
