Episode 316 I miss that sandstorm.
The Great Law was in its final stages.
A purple energy spread out from the tip of the left finger of the Fengchun Sect leader.
The purple energy moved as if it were alive and began to pull out the spirit seal carved into Hwan-yeo’s back. The spirit seal was carved like a tattoo, but it was pulled out of her body like a nail being pulled out.
Slowly, very slowly.
The leader of the Pungcheon sect concentrated all his energy as if he would not tolerate even a single moment of mistake.
At that moment, when all the spirits were completely pulled out, the leader of the Fengchun Sect raised his right hand over the head of the Demon Lord and shouted.
Then, a red, sharp energy was pulled out from her crown like a tree being uprooted. It was the red spirit that had been embedded in her head.
The spirits and souls that were floating at the ends of each hand suddenly burst into flames and disappeared.
As if they had made a promise, the two women fell down at the same time.
“Hoooo.”
The leader of the Fengchun sect took a deep breath and slowly withdrew his outstretched hand. The purple aura that had bloomed in his hand completely disappeared.
The Great Law has been successfully concluded.
After a while, the fallen Subhonmazon got up.
Good news awaiting her.
“The enemy soul that was in your body has disappeared.”
“Ah! Thank you, Master.”
The body of the leader of the Fengchun sect was drenched in sweat. Since such a master was drenched in sweat, one could guess how much mental strength he had expended.
“You saved my life.”
“Although I did the Dafa, it was the younger cult leader who discovered this conspiracy. Don’t forget that.”
The leader of the Fengchun sect gave the ball to Geommu-geuk. The closer the two were to the Sehon Majon, the better, so he gladly pledged his loyalty.
“I will be loyal to the Young Leader, Master.”
The gaze of the Demon Lord turned to Hwan-yeo. He raised his hand in anger. It felt like he would feel better if he smashed her head.
“That won’t happen. He’s already dead.”
The moment the spirit was forcibly selected, Hwan-yeo died.
“Cheongseon-ah.”
“Yes, Master.”
“As you live, you will look into the hearts of many people. You will control many people as you wish. And each time, there will be something you must see.”
“What is that?”
“It’s a hole in your heart. The higher your level of soul-seduction, the bigger that hole will become.”
The Demon Lord could vaguely see what his master was worried about.
“Then what should I do?”
Do not make fun of people. Do not make fun of the world. The leader of the Pungcheon Church, who was wondering what to say, left the solution to his disciple.
“You have to figure out how to fill that hole. Don’t forget that there is a hole, and look into it often. If you keep looking, you will find your own way.”
The Demon Lord bowed deeply on the spot. He was grateful to his master for caring so much for him.
“If by any chance this foolish disciple falls into that hole, please be sure to save him, Master.”
Then the leader of the Pungcheon Church smiled and said.
“That’s a favor I have to ask. I’ve raised you to this age, so how big must my hole be?”
The sincere words of the Fengtian Sect leader moved the mind of the Demon Lord Seop-Hon. He had felt a vague distance between himself and his master, but he felt that they had become closer through this incident.
“Go out and tell the young leader to come in.”
* * *
I had a long talk with Jang-ho after a long time.
The demons also looked surprised to see him talking with them for such a long time.
What could be so interesting about talking to the blunt Jang-ho? I wanted to show the demons that I trust and care for Jang-ho this much.
If it weren’t for someone I really liked, I wouldn’t be able to have a long conversation like this while the Fa was going on. It was my effort for him.
Thanks to that, I was even able to hear the story that Jang-ho’s childhood dream was to become a chemical engineer.
“I think I’ll try painting when I retire.”
After hearing that, I left for a moment.
“Just wait a minute.”
I disappeared in a flash and came back, handing him the tools used by painters, such as paper, brushes, and paints. I had bought the best ones from Magachon.
“Don’t put it off, start drawing from today.”
Jang-ho was flustered because he didn’t know that I would go and buy this. The demons standing behind him also looked surprised.
“Start drawing tonight. At least half a picture before you go to bed. If you don’t have anything to draw, draw those big guys, or that beautiful scar on your face.”
I know that this kind of thing doesn’t require time. When you have time, other things tend to come up.
What is needed is not time, but an opportunity, such as a drawing tool that the leader forcefully gives you.
Jangho bowed his head and accepted them respectfully.
“I will start drawing from today.”
“I wonder if I should buy a brush made of iron. I wonder if they’ll all break in those strong hands.”
Jang-ho laughed pleasantly at my teasing. They are the three people I want to see smile on. Father, Kwon-ma, and Jang-ho. I will continue to make these blunt men, who have never known laughter in their entire lives, laugh.
At that moment, the Demon Lord Seop-Hon-Ma-Jon walked out of the residence.
Her expression alone could tell the result of the Great Law.
* * *
Only me, the leader of the Pungcheon sect, and Gowol were left in the residence.
The Demon Lord Seop-hon returned and left Hwan-yeo’s body to the demons to bury. Perhaps because she left me her final greetings, her face looked relaxed.
Now it’s time to plan the next step to Pungcheon Bridge.
“Sir, what should we do?”
While the Great Law was in progress, Goyul had been thinking about it.
“I officially recommend that you go to Pungcheon Bridge.”

“With the return of the previous cult leader?”
“No. It’s an official visit by the leader of the Cheonmasin Church.”
He looked at the face of the leader of the Fengchun sect. Even if he went back, he would want to go as the main character. Go-wol had already thought about that.
“If you return with the young leader, the leader’s prestige will be further enhanced. It will be considered as a success of this visit.”
At those words, the expression on the face of the leader of the Pungcheon sect brightened.
“They will have infiltrated the leadership of the Pungcheon Church. That’s why it will be easier for them to operate if they go officially. And since you have become the leader, you have a reason to visit.”
That was true. It wasn’t easy to sneak around and infiltrate the Pungcheon Bridge.
“Will it be known soon that Hwanyeo has disappeared?”
“Ignore it.”
“Ignore it?”
“If you act as if you don’t know anything, they’ll be suspicious. They’ll wonder if you’re making an official visit when they’ve already noticed our presence.”
“What if you feel danger and the guy disappears?”
“If the woman in the garden has worked hard for years, then you too must have. Would you give up so easily?”
That’s right. King Hwan had great pride in himself. He was a man with outstanding abilities as well as pride.
Gowol said to the leader of the Pungcheon sect.
“He’s been around since the time the leader and I were here. We left without knowing.”
“!”
The expression on the face of the leader of the Pungcheon Church hardened because he had not thought about it that far.
“They waited quietly for an opportunity, but when the leader left, they started to move in earnest.”
I took his word for it.
“It’s like the young Cheongseon on this side has moved to become the Demon Lord.”
“you’re right.”
“Okay, I’ll do as you say. I’ll make an official visit.”
He followed Go-wol’s wishes without a second thought. Isn’t the best way to empower the military to trust and follow?
“I will support you as closely as possible while trying to get as much out of the person being interrogated as possible. Also, as a rule, the Mazone accompanies the official visit of the Young Leader. Since the opponent is the opponent, you should carefully choose the Mazone who will accompany you this time.”
“Do you have anyone in mind?”
“It must be a demon who is strong against illusions.”
The leader of the Pungcheon sect knew very well who that was.
“It’s a demon. It’s strong against illusions.”
Accompanying with Mabul? It doesn’t matter to me, but the leader of the Pungcheon Church was the problem.
Originally, the leader of the Pungcheon Church was closest to Mabul among the Palma Lords. In the past, it was Mabul who brought the leader of the Pungcheon Church to the Cheonmasingyo.
But I know that their relationship has become awkward since then.
The leader of the Pungcheon sect stepped forward, wondering what he was thinking.
“I will go and talk to Mabul.”
Yes, I guess it would be right to cancel it.
“Then I will first get permission from my father.”
Since it was an official visit, I had to report to my father and get permission.
We each stood up to do our assigned tasks.
* * *
Mabul was in the main temple.
A golden Buddha statue with a fearsome appearance was looking down at him with cold eyes. In that place where there was no sense of mercy, Mabul was reciting a Buddhist prayer alone.
The leader of the Pungcheon sect came in and sat behind him. When he finished chanting, Ma-bul asked without looking back.
“What’s going on?”
It was awkward. In the past, we used to laugh and treat each other no matter what we felt.
“How have you been?”
“How have you been?”
Since Mabul was known to support the Grand Duke, they couldn’t have gotten along well.
Mabul turned around and looked at the leader of the Pungcheon sect.
“As you can see, the dog is chasing the chicken.”
“That dog is so cute.”
It wasn’t because the golden light coming from Mabul’s body was particularly bright. Mabul’s expression really looked more relaxed than before.
“What’s the secret?”
“Don’t you know?”
Mabul asks. Don’t you know how much peace you feel when you let go of everything? When you think about it, both of them are people who have let go of their desire for power.
There was an awkward silence for a moment. Then, the leader of the Pungcheon sect suddenly asked.
“Don’t you think I’ve lost some weight?”
Mabul made a dumbfounded expression.
“Are you here to brag about that?”
“That’s right. I came to tell you that I feel more comfortable as your face feels more comfortable.”
Mabuldo could already feel it. The leader of the Pungcheon cult had changed a lot. He wasn’t the same as before. He used to be the one who smiled on the outside but had a lot of hidden agendas, but now he seemed comfortable for some reason.
“I came because I have a favor to ask.”
“Speak.”
“There are some Goyans doing tricks at Pungcheon Church. The leader will come with me under the pretext of an official visit. You should also go with me and help me.”
“Why me?”
The leader of Pungcheon Church expressed his honest feelings.
“The Amazons must go together, but among the Amazons, you are the most comfortable.”
Ma-bul, who was staring at the leader of the Pungcheon sect, refused in one word.
“I don’t like it.”
When he was rejected outright, the leader of the Pungcheon Church had nothing to say.
“Then I guess there’s nothing I can do. Take care.”
The leader of the Pungcheon Church stood up from his seat. I was about to leave when he spoke. I thought he was going to say something harsh.
“I’m sorry for talking badly to you before.”
When the two of them got on bad terms and fought, the leader of the Pungcheon cult teased him, calling him a golden turd.
“Why are you suddenly apologizing? I won’t follow you even if you do that.”
“That’s why I’m not apologizing.”
“Then why?”
“There’s one thing I learned while living with Sogyoju and Gowol. The most important thing between people is apologizing. One apology is more important than a hundred kind words. I realized that only recently. I’ve lived my whole life without apologizing, so it’s late for me to apologize. I’m sorry.”
Mabul was embarrassed. At that time, it wasn’t only the leader of the Pungcheon sect who spoke rudely.
As he was about to turn around and leave after saying that, Ma-bul called out to the leader of the Pungcheon sect.
“Since you’re here, why don’t you have a drink before you go?”
“Is there alcohol in the temple?”
“Where else would there be only alcohol? There are devils and alcohol, and if you look around there, there might be a corpse.”
Mabul really brought two bottles of alcohol and handed me one.
The two drank from the bottle.
The leader of the Fengchun sect sat down so as not to look down on him.
Ma-bul stared at the picture of demons killing demons on the wall for a long time before revealing his true feelings.
“When I was trying to make the Grand Duke into a minor cult leader, that was all I could see. When I looked at a person, I thought, that person will either be helpful in the fight for the successor or not. No matter what he does, it will either be helpful or not. I was crazy about that.”
The leader of the Pungcheon sect listened to his words without saying a word.
“I thought that if the Grand Duke became the successor, everything would be resolved. Even if I was rude or sorry, if I went to see him later and apologized, he would understand. That’s what I thought. Now that I think about it, if the Grand Duke had become the successor, I wouldn’t have apologized to anyone.”
And now that Geommuyang has not become the successor, he also apologizes to the leader of the Pungcheon sect.
“I was sorry about that too.”
The leader of the Pungcheon sect silently handed over a bottle of alcohol, and Mabul toasted briefly before drinking.
“Let’s call this drink a victory drink, not a defeat drink. Then, let’s meet again next time.”
As the leader of the Pungcheon Church was about to go out, Ma-bul asked from behind.
“When are you leaving?”
As the leader of the Pungcheon Church turned around in surprise, Ma-bul added as if talking to himself.
“I miss that sandstorm.”
* * *
My father was at the training ground.
In the midst of the heavy magic that had descended, my father was standing alone, holding the Heavenly Demon Sword. Just the sight of his back holding the sword made me feel an unapproachable fear.
My father asked without looking back.
“How far have you mastered the Nine-Handed Magic?”
“I even learned how to transplant myself.”
“Then try to block it somewhere.”
My father quickly turned towards me.
The moment he aimed his sword at me, an evil spirit appeared in front of my father.
A demon that looked completely different from mine. It was a demon that my father had summoned, and it was so creepy that I felt scared just by looking at it.
I could tell instinctively that my father was about to unleash a great annihilation.
The only thing that can stop the Nine Fire Magic is the Nine Fire Magic!
An evil spirit appeared before me too. In terms of appearance, mine was scarier. Mine was scary, and my father’s was cold-blooded.
Although they were evil spirits from the same martial arts school, they were merciless. They glared at each other with eyes that seemed determined to destroy the other.
Ss …
The two evil spirits facing each other began to split apart.
I stopped at the net, but my father’s demons continued to multiply.
The divided demons lined up in front of my father. The number my father, who had achieved great success in the Nine Fire Demon Sect, had created was forty-four in total. The sight was truly a chilling sight.
Four forty-four.
But my father wasn’t one to let that happen.
Kwak …
Can it really be stopped?
My four demons also charged powerfully toward the demons that were rushing in, sweeping away everything.
