Episode 103. The one who looks into the heart of God (3)
the next morning.
“The Holy Ghost has departed! Let everyone be polite!”
The central square of the civil war, decorated in splendor and style, had a solemn atmosphere unlike any other before.
The square was very wide with a huge demon statue in the center. And the huge space was filled with countless people.
But no one opened their mouths. No, even the sound of breathing was careful.
This is because the one and only absolute of the Madou Murim is coming towards this place, the central plaza.
Wow! Whoops!
The mighty sound of drums coming from far away.
From the Demon Shrine to this place, it was a fairly long distance for Lee Gak with the common man’s steps. Even so, everyone gathered here already lowered their heads.
The founder of the Heavenly Demon Church, the sun of the magical Murim.
I could see how fearful and reverent the existence of the Heavenly Demon was to them.
The front row of the crowd was occupied by demonic beasts inside and outside of the Protestant Church. Directly behind them, the high-ranking members of the Mado-7 family lined up one after another.
Among them, the place where Jiwoonhoe was standing was right behind Soyeonsim.
Jiwoonhoe lowered her head, and her face was different from usual. Her sharp eyes and stubborn mouth were intact, but she looked emaciated for some reason.
Wow! Wow!
Little by little, but surely the sound of drums approaching.
As I listened to the sound, my heart felt like it was going to explode. This is because the heavy resonant that pierced our ears felt like an ancestor’s unholy command.
Jiwoonhoe’s eyelids trembled.
Beyond the sound of drums, it seemed as if a conversation I didn’t want to recall could be heard.
– … … can not believe it.
– It’s true. If anything, can I call the head of the criminal court to this place now?
– … … !
– Do you understand why I imprisoned your three sons? Ji Young-hyun was definitely not normal. You didn’t even know what power lurked in your son’s body?
– That, that child would never… … !
– Even more so, Ji Kang-hyun is suspected of being the real culprit of such a terrible crime.
Or, isn’t the magic sword family hiding something? Are you plotting some kind of scheme that Protestantism should never find out?
– Nonsense!
– Then prove it. With the promise you spit out of your own mouth.
thud! thud!
Suddenly, an incredibly gigantic kiln appeared in the distance.
Charleuk! charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
It was a palanquin, but it was almost like a house. Under the large roof decorated with various treasures, thick golden tassels hung and swayed to and fro.
In order to move the palanquin, as many as fifty demons had to act as palanquins.
Considering that all of them had mastered considerable magic, I could see how big the palanquin was.
No powerful person in the Gangho Murim would have ever ridden in a palanquin like that. The emperor’s palanquin wouldn’t do that either.
A treasure made by the best artisans over hundreds of days to worship the gods.
The Mawanggeo (魔皇車) has finally revealed itself in its entirety.
The eyes of Jiwoonhoe who glanced at the Mawanggeo shook mercilessly.
A number of demons were following behind the Demon Emperor. They were secret escorts belonging to the Demonic Palace who only followed the leader, saying that even the leaders of the civil war did not know their true identity.
And among the secret escorts, I saw a young man wearing fancy clothes.
It was his own son, Ji Kang-hyun.
– I can’t believe it. Or, are you not jealous of my son? Or to reduce competitors… … !
– I already have a fourth harpoon in my hand. Now, as a child who is neither dead nor alive, he is confined to his residence and receiving treatment.
– … … !
– The battle for succession has already begun. As you can see, you can kill your son whenever you want.
– this… … !
– So, don’t be suspicious.
I don’t know why you want your son to be the leader’s disciple, but he’s already a felon who slaughtered seven Protestants.
Do you really want to send such a son here?
– … … .
– I’ve said it before, but I can’t give you much time to think. Please hurry up and clear your mind.
– I need to start with Younghyun. Guide me to where Younghyun is now!
– I’ll show you. But before that, call your eldest son first. After talking, go see the three sons with him. Then it will work.
– … … .
– why? don’t you like it?
– It’s not something I hate. Right now Kanghyun can’t call even if he wants to.
– … … Damn, you’ve already entered the Demon Shrine. Well, you have to learn the etiquette of the coronation in advance. Still too fast?
– … … .
– There’s nothing special about this. I will show you your three sons.
– Come on, come on, guide me!
– Good. Promise me one thing before that.
– What promise are you talking about?!
Wow!
The Demon Emperor was placed in front of the huge demon statue.
Although it is clearly laid down softly, the shock is transmitted to the ground. The splendidly decorated Mawanggeo was heavier than it looked.
At that time, the two demons who acted as palanquins approached the back of the Mawanggeo with solemn steps and pulled the long, thick rope.
Charleureuk!

The huge curtain rose slowly, slowly. It hides the appearance of the leader inside, but the leader inside can clearly see the outside.
Artisans called it the Heavenly Demon Badge.
Chunk!
Finally, the Heavenly Demon appeared, sitting on a silk cushion that was twice as large as a decent blanket.
Everyone bowed on the spot.
“Reign Seonggyo (君臨聖敎)! The Heavenly Demon is immortal!”
After the reverent and loud roar of the demons in the school, all the demons gathered here shouted.
“The children of the dark devil have an audience with the Holy Spirit!”
The moment the voice raised from the lower abdomen passes through the throat and spreads out to the world.
Quarreureung!
All the demons heard the sound of thunder resounding from the other side of the sky.
It’s not real thunder. But it was also real thunder.
Whoop!
Lee Cheon-sang, who reveals himself in front of everyone for the first time in a long time.
Everyone about his kipa was caught in the illusion of standing alone on a desolate cliff.
Just by dealing with Gipa, these many demons are experiencing hallucinations and hallucinations as a group.
‘That’s it.’
The clenched fists trembled.
‘I wanted to see my son worshiped as a god in a place where I couldn’t stand.’
Jiwoonhoe gritted it.
‘My son, who I am so proud of, had no doubt that it would be possible. Together!’
however… … however!
‘How on earth did he do such an outrageous thing?!’
– How are you?
– … … .
– You’ll know by looking at the pulse. How terrifying is this power hidden in the bodies of your three sons.
– … … .
– What the hell have you been up to? Didn’t you know how this guy could hide such an amazing thing?
When it was captured, it was so secretive that it was hard to recognize even the most advanced master, but aren’t you the father of this guy?
– I am… … I am… … .
– This guy was aiming for that friend’s sword. He was almost blind.
– … … !
– Good. Now, it’s just a headache to find out how this power is hidden in the three men’s bodies.
We just want the family head to confirm that we have proven our innocence. admit it?
– … … Admit it.
– Then what will you do now?
– … … .
– Do you want to see your son become the teacher’s disciple and become an unscrupulous man who slaughters the members of the school again?
Do you want to see the name of the family dishonored by all kinds of insults?
– that… … !
– I’ll tell you, don’t say I’m going to tell you not to do something like that again. Even the head of the family knows that this is nonsense.
– … … .
-Moreover, you must be punished for the sins you have already committed. If it’s something that happened in your family, your eldest son touched the teachings of the main school.
– … … !
– Choose. The fortunes of the demonic sword family for hundreds of years depend on your conscience.
“Welcome.”
Even though the voice is not loud, the voice of Lee Cheon-sang clearly pierces everyone’s ears.
Just by hearing that one word, the limbs lose their strength. At the same time, the strength of the lower back is tight.
Sarak.
Lee Cheon-sang rose from his seat.
For today, he must have been formal, and unlike usual, he was properly dressed in a gonryongpo.
He didn’t wear a crown, but his long, flowing hair seemed to suit his mood.
“I’m sure you know.”
he looked around.
While looking at the audience, he suddenly looked at the roof of a five-story building in the distance.
On the roof stood a tall young man and a golden fox, still a baby.
‘He’s still a baby.’
I knew it existed, but it was the first time I had seen it in person.
Flash!
Sirang must have recognized his presence as well, and his strange five-colored eyes were shining.
‘Yes, he’s still in the form of a baby, but does that mean that the power he’s built up so far is still there?’
The corner of Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth went up.
It’s fun.
“I don’t like cumbersome things.”
That was the unmistakable truth. It was the first time that he had been so well-dressed 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 gods to treat humans with courtesy.
The reason why he came here with his own formality.
It was because of the encounter with a Yoshin (妖神) that he thought would be here, and as expected, was looking at him from afar.
Another demon who became a spirit creature after gathering effort for hundreds of years, but repeated reincarnation by deceiving the world.
Lee Cheon-sang was truly satisfied seeing him who was not lacking in his rank.
“However, he has come a long way, so he should at least show his last name.”
charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Four bottles of six thousand heart wine appeared at the feet of the giant demon statue.
No one saw where or how it appeared. Everyone had their heads down, but even if they stared at it, they wouldn’t have been able to figure out what the harmony was.
“Let the heads of the seven families take the six heavenly spirit wine. It won’t taste bad as it’s the sake you’ve made yourself.”
At the same time, the heads of households, including Jiwoonhoe, shouted.
“I am bound by the grace of the Holy Ghost!”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
“Let’s end our face-to-face meeting with a brief introduction.”
In an instant, Jiwoonhoe’s eyes widened.
Seoryang and Soyeonsim were not different. Everyone except Gogu, who couldn’t leave the Criminal Court empty, was gathered here to catch the real culprit.
“As of Friday.”
Burr.
The turbulence was young at the trembling fist. Jiwoonhoe pondered until the last moment.
‘Can’t we go on like this? Do I have to tarnish the honor of my family with my words?’
Xu Liang’s cold face appeared in his hesitant mind.
– For hundreds of years, the fate of the magic sword family rests on your conscience.
Conscience? Is that conscience more important than my face? Is it more important than the honor of the magic sword family?
Something that had already happened the year before, that few people remember!
In an instant, the demon that died unfairly came to mind.
An unknown Mine who has never seen his face, but has been praying for the headmaster until the end.
Even now, two years later, the demon must still be wandering around the Nine Heavens with a stigma on it.
‘… … I was foolish.’
Had the Three Gongja made up his mind, he could have told the master right away.
If he tried to bury this situation now, the appearance of the demonic sword family might become even more ridiculous.
Because the Three Gongs will never ignore this situation.
‘Are you giving me a chance to choose?’
Is telling the truth with my own mouth really the way to protect the honor of the magic sword family?
The moment Ji Woon-hoe closed his eyes, Lee Cheon-sang finished speaking.
“I accept Ji Kang-hyeon, the eldest son of the magic sword family, as my disciple.”
At that moment, all the demons shouted.
“I sincerely congratulate you for acquiring a new lineage of a god!”
The reaction was immediate as it was already known to all of the top leaders. Even if they didn’t know, it was natural for them to shout congratulations when the religious leader said he would accept a disciple.
The moment when a new disciple of the Heavenly Demonic Church is born.
It was then.
“Please wait!!”
Bubbly.
Ji Woon-hoe, who came out with small steps, lowered her upper body, knelt in front of the demon statue.
“Jiunhoe, the Demonic Sword Master, risks death to give you a remonstrance!”
Xu Liang’s eyes lit up, and Su Yanxin clasped her hands tightly.
Jiwoonhoe shouted with indescribable emotions.
“I am sorry to tell you, but my son committed a great sin… … !”
“stop.”
Woo woo woo!
The square sank into silence at the majestic voice of the demon god.
Lee Cheon-sang, who glanced down at Jiwoonhoe, closed the Cheonma Insignia.
“The head of the demonic sword family should take the six heavenly heart wine and enter the demon palace.”
cooong!
The curtain closed and a mawanggeo was heard.
Embarrassed, Jiwoonhoe looked up at Mawanggeo. However, the Demon Emperor had already made a great turn and was moving toward the Demon Palace.
He was not the only one surprised.
“What, what?”
Seo Ryang-do and So Yeon-sim were also taken aback. I didn’t know that Lee Cheon-sang would finish the declaration so easily, and I didn’t even know how to stop the words of the demonic sword master in front of everyone.
At this point, everyone is surprised and confused in their own way.
The situation was taking an unexpected turn.
