The Demonic Path boasts a history as deep as the Righteous Faction.
Because the Demonic Path is the villain that appears regularly in the history of the thousand-year Shaolin.
Among them, the relationship between the Demonic Cult and the Blood Cult could be said to be quite deep.
The Demonic Cult and the Blood Cult could be said to be of the sa kind. Because the person who founded the Blood Cult was a person of the Demonic Path.
To be more precise, it would be correct to say that the Blood Cult was a place created by those who had been pushed out of the power struggle of the Demonic Cult.
And with the birth of the Blood Demon as a starting point, the Blood Cult was able to increase its power to the point where it was on par with the Demonic Cult.
That was the history of the Blood Cult that I had known until now.
"A civil war has broken out in the Blood Cult!"
A civil war was not a particularly special event in the Demonic Path. Because it was the history of the Demonic Path that the strong one eats.
The warrior from the Blood Cult, covered in blood, knelt down to us and pleaded desperately.
"That guy was a low-ranking warrior in the Blood Cult. One day, he suddenly said, 'The curtain surrounding has been lifted,' and then he killed dozens of Blood Cult warriors at once! After that, he killed dozens more and then ate the Blood Cult."
Soma, who had woken up before I knew it, was listening with sparkling eyes.
"Yeah, yeah! So!"
That guy, his resilience is probably the best in the Central Plains.
"Wait."
I cut off the warrior's words.
Because such an incident had happened, but there was no story about the most important Blood Demon.
"What is the Blood Demon doing?"
"The Blood Demon... his identity has not been confird. Because he is a person who rarely goes out."
Hah, really. So that ans the Blood Cult has been completely eaten by one guy.
Does this make sense?
"Ah! And that guy was wearing a strange mask."
"Hmm?"
"I saw it from afar, so I'm not sure, but it was definitely a sheep mask."
Does this make sense too?
* * *
For now, the matter of the young leader and the warrior from the Blood Cult was simply settled for the ti being.
The warriors of the Divine Cult were showing a faint excitent as the Heavenly Demon had suddenly revealed his ambition for the martial world and the imperial family, and I was now facing the Demon Doctor old man after a long ti.
"It's strange."
"Why?"
Is there a problem?
"You're too healthy. At this rate, let alone minor illnesses, your heartbeat is like you'll live to be over a hundred. It's the first ti in my life I've heard such a strong heartbeat. Besides, what did you say your constitution was?"
"The body of a Dragon King."
"No. It was the body of a Dragon King before, but now it's changing. Should I say it's evolving on its own? For now, let's do an open-stomach surgery for an accurate diagnosis."
I said.
"You an I'm healthy. Thank you for looking at my body."
"No! When are you going to do the open-stomach surgery!"
The Demon Doctor old man, whom I had seen after a long ti, was as expected. I ignored the Demon Doctor old man, who was drooling at the mouth, and moved on to my next destination.
The place I headed to was the military strategy hall.
In the military strategy hall, a heated discussion was going on about the current situation. It's a good feeling to have cause the trouble and then leave the cleanup to others. The taste of power that I was tasting after a long ti was sweet.
I passed by the people who were endlessly coming up with various counterasures to overco the current situation and headed to the deepest part of the military strategy hall. When I opened the door, the person I wanted to et finally appeared.
"Brain Demon, have you been well?"
"..."
No answer ca. Instead, the Brain Demon was grinning and looking at the paper intensely.
The passionate appearance of the Brain Demon that I had not seen before.
While I was worried that the paper might burn from his gaze, the Brain Demon put down the paper and turned his gaze to .
"Jae-ha, are you a genius?"
"Huh?"
What kind of nonsense is this all of a sudden?
"You've pushed the situation to the point where it can't get any worse. Isn't this so much fun?"
"R-Really?"
"Ah! And don't worry about the Sword Demoness and the Mad Demon who are left in the Righteous Faction. I've already taken appropriate asures for the two of them."
The Brain Demon had figured out the reason I had co at once. As expected, he was the smartest person I knew.
And the fact that the Brain Demon was here ant one thing.
"Where is the military strategist, and why are you here?"
This was a place in the military strategy hall that only the military strategist was allowed to enter.
"If it's my master, he's probably chatting with the old n in the back room right now."
So the Brain Demon had beco the military strategist's disciple.
And in just a few years, he was showing the divine skill of controlling the entire military strategy hall.
There was a second reason I had co to see the Brain Demon.
The Brain Demon was just talking about that.
"Good. Since it has co to this, let's clean up the Demonic Path first. Because the first thing you have to do when you do sothing is to get rid of the backstabbers. Jae-ha."
"Yeah?"
"Go to the Blood Cult and eat the Blood Cult."
"Huh?"
After a while, for so reason, I was on my way to the Blood Cult.
"Don't worry about the imperial family's matter. No matter how much the imperial family is, they can't help but be wary of the martial world. If you want, you can even assassinate the emperor."
Heavenly Demon, do you know what you just said!
"I want to go too! Young Leader!"
"I'm so bored I'm going crazy!"
"I want to do sothing fun too!"
Hey, hey! We're not going to play now!
By the way, we're on our way to eat the Blood Cult, but is it for real that you're only giving three people?
-We have to be wary of the martial world and the imperial palace right now, so we can't spare many people. Let's go with a small elite group. Is that okay?
So the person who decided to go to the Blood Cult with was, for now, one guide.
"Let's go to the Blood Cult!"
Soma, who was overly excited, perhaps because he was going ho after a long ti.
"Older brother?"
"You are not my younger brother! I have only one younger brother in this world."
"I wasn't calling you. Fake! You're ugly!"
"Say that again. Shorty."
"Hmph! I said you're uglier than my older brother. Why?"
My older brother, who had newly beco the deputy leader this ti.
My junior sister had also newly beco a martial saint, a position that had been created.
The position of a martial saint is on the sa level as a great elder.
What should I say, my head is already starting to hurt.
I never would have thought that the first thing I would do as a young leader would be to eat the Blood Cult.
By the way, how do I eat it?
I don't know either.
As we ran for a long ti using our footwork.
"I see it over there!"
Soma said, pointing forward with a bright voice.
'This is the Blood Cult.'
The gates and buildings were all painted red.
'Don't tell it's all blood.'
I forcibly held back my steps that wanted to go back and snatched the back of Soma's neck, who was walking forward with long strides.
Soma, who was dangling, turns back to .
Looking at him like this, he looks like an innocent child, but in reality, he is the Heavenly Killing Star. But perhaps because I haven't seen Soma's Heavenly Killing Star-like appearance yet, to , he was just Soma.
"Why?"
"What do you think will happen if we go to the main gate like this?"
"I've always only used the main gate."
"That's in the old days. Now that the Blood Cult has been eaten by the sheep mask, they'll be hostile to us, right?"
"Then can't we just kill them all?"
"Think carefully. Before we left, what did the Brain Demon say the number of troops in the Blood Cult was?"
"100 ordinary soldiers, 1,000 ordinary jiangshi, 500 jade jiangshi, 100 heavenly jiangshi, 10 blood jiangshi, and 5 living jiangshi!"
It was Soma, who was smart in strange places.
To think that he rembered all that, in fact, I had forgotten the exact numbers.
"Yes. A total of 1,715! And the martial prowess of the ordinary jiangshi is first-rate, the jade jiangshi is at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, the heavenly jiangshi is at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, the blood jiangshi is at the Transformation Realm, and moreover, the living jiangshi is unasurable. Because it is based on the martial prowess of their lifeti. Above all, there is no information on who the living jiangshi are."
To attack head-on in such a situation? This was no different from sticking out my neck and asking them to cut my neck!
"Hehe."
Soma, who suddenly laughs.
I impulsively thought about flicking his forehead. But I endured with great patience.
"Jae-ha, you don't know who I am."
"You're Soma."
"That's right. I am Soma, the young leader of the Blood Cult. Do you think I wouldn't know the identity of the living jiangshi?"
"If you knew, why didn't you tell the Brain Demon earlier?"
If he had said it, he wouldn't have organized the troops like this!
"You didn't ask. And I don't follow those who are weaker than . Jae-ha, if it's you, I don't know."
Should I really hit him?
"So, what's the identity of the living jiangshi?"
"The living jiangshi are all composed of masters of the previous generation. And the older the living jiangshi, the stronger their power becos. Because the living jiangshi, unlike humans, train without eating, sleeping, or getting tired."
Should I really hit him? So what's the identity!
"Four are the forr leaders of the Blood Cult. And one is the most cherished treasure of the Blood Cult. I don't know exactly who, but the Blood Demon told this. The greatest weapon to destroy the Demonic Cult."
In the end, it ant that he didn't know about the most important one.
Clack!
I ended up flicking Soma's forehead. By spreading the Chaotic Heaven Boundary that my junior sister had shown at the tip of my finger, and overlapping the acceleration.
"My forehead! My forehead feels like it's going to break!"
To think that he's making such a fuss after being flicked on the forehead just once.
"Older brother, what should we do?"
The oldest person here is my older brother. Of course, he is the person with the highest position among us, and as far as I know, he is also the person with the most normal way of thinking in the Divine Cult.
"I have a good idea."
My older brother was looking at Soma, who was rolling on the floor, with a benevolent face. Hearing that plan, I couldn't help but nod, thinking 'as expected'.
My older brother had beco a very fine Demonic Path person while I wasn't looking.
* * *
Soma walks confidently to the front of the Blood Cult.
Soma, in front of the huge gate that was as red as blood, shouted.
"Soma, the young leader of the Blood Cult, has returned. Open the gate!"
Our plan was nothing special. It was to use Soma as bait, and when the Blood Cult's troops were concentrated at the main gate, my older brother, my junior sister, and I would infiltrate the Blood Cult from three directions, find the sheep mask, and assassinate him.
As expected, a commotion was felt from inside. Soon, the gate opened.
People dressed in red all over appeared.
-Those guys are not jiangshi.
-I see.
"Young Leader, have you returned?"
"Yeah. Where's the Blood Demon?"
"He is waiting inside."
"By the way."
"Yes. Please give your order."
"I've never seen your face before."
"Do you recognize my face?"
"Yeah. I rember the faces of everyone in the Blood Cult. I've never seen your face."
"As expected of the Heavenly Killing Star. Your insight surpasses imagination."
"Thank you for the complint."
"My lord values you, who are the Heavenly Killing Star, highly. If you accept my proposal here, you will be able to possess even more power and treasure than now."
"Are you trying to seduce now?"
"Yes."
Soma touched his forehead, which had been hit just now.
-Tell !
-You do it like this, like that, and like this. How about it, isn't it easy?
-Huh?
-So first you spread the Revolving Heaven, then you spread the Reversal of Heaven, then you find the harmony point of the two and spread the new rotation, the Chaotic Heaven, then you concentrate that at the tip of your finger, then you spread a small boundary and overlap the acceleration point. It can be said to be a kind of super-acceleration only at the tip of the finger. How about it, isn't it easy?
-Is that possible for Jae-ha?
-Yeah. Like this. Thwack!
As expected, Jae-ha was amazing.
"Sorry. Actually, I've already been seduced."
Slice.
Soma extended his arm and drew a line in the air.
"Gurgle."
The neck that had been speaking in front of Soma just now rolled on the ground.
Imdiately, the sound of an alarm rang out from all directions. The people at the main gate all surrounded Soma at once. Imdiately after, it was felt that nurous troops were running towards the main gate.
The number was about a thousand or more!
The plan was proceeding successfully.
I, who was hiding in the bushes, looked at my older brother and my junior sister and said.
"Now!"
My older brother to the north.
My junior sister to the east.
I headed west.
Two short whistle sounds were heard from the north.
This was a signal that he had t a heavenly jiangshi.
Almost at the sa ti, two long whistle sounds echoed from the east.
This was a signal that he had t a blood jiangshi.
In front of , only five jiangshi were standing.
"Is this for real?"
And I knew one of them.
"Isn't this Blood Demon bastard completely crazy?"
I knew he was a madman, but I never thought he was this much.
The best master of the previous generation who had opened the era of the Great Demonic Path.
The Mad World Heavenly Demon, Yoo Jin-sung.
He was standing in front of as a living jiangshi.
* * *
On the roof of the Blood Cult.
"You've co, vessel."
The person wearing the sheep mask was looking down.
One day, a voice echoing in his head.
-The one who occupies the vessel of the Dragon King. He will transcend his own limits and beco a god.
