Episode 47: You fill in the gap.
After a while, Neung-hyu came in there.
“Sokha, I came running at the call of the Amazon.”
Our gaze turned to his waist. Sure enough, there was no ghost line worn by ghost magicians there.
“Where is the ghost?”
“I lost it yesterday.”
Then, Seophonma threw the ghost ship he was holding at him.
“It’s mine. Where did this come from?”
He didn’t dare ask the Subhonmazon, so he asked me.
“Yesterday several bodies were found, and this one was found together.”
Neung-hyu was startled when he heard my answer. It was a different kind of surprise than the usual surprise of having one’s belongings found at the crime scene.
And Neung-Hyu also did not ask where the body was found or what the cause of death was.
‘Ah, this Neung-hyu is the one in charge of disposing of the corpse!’
It was the moment when I confirmed that the Demon Lord of the Underworld was unfolding the Great Law of the Heart.
“Given the circumstances, we should go together and be investigated.”
Neung-hyu wasn’t afraid of me. He looked at the only person he was afraid of and asked for his disposition.
The Demon Lord just stared at him without saying a word, but he could tell that he was transmitting the sound in a peculiar way.
Then Neung-hyu spoke to me.
“Okay, let’s go together.”
He was arrested without protesting or protesting his innocence.
I greeted the Subhonmazon politely.
“Thank you for your cooperation. See you next time.”
The Demon Lord nodded silently. His expression was so calm that it was impossible to know what he was thinking.
* * *
As soon as he returned, he ordered an investigation into Neung-hyu.
When special investigators took turns questioning him, he only said that he had lost his debt and did not say anything else.
“I don’t think it will be easy to open my mouth.”
I nodded at Seo Dae-ryong’s words. I could tell just by looking at his eyes. His loyalty and fear of the Sub-Hon-Ma-Jon were so strong that no amount of coaxing or interrogation would work against him.
“We can’t keep them for long because there’s no evidence that they were killed.”
“Anyway, he’s just a servant. If you want to catch him, you have to catch the Demon Lord.”
Seo Dae-ryong spoke worriedly, as if he had read the mood in my eyes.
“Be careful, your opponent is the Demon Lord.”
“Do you remember what I told you when I first came here? If your father does something wrong, I’ll come catch him.”
“yes.”
“Then he should be careful. Go and tell him. Be careful.”
“I wish I had the courage to do that.”
That day, an unexpected person came to my office to see me.
Seo Dae-ryong came in with a surprised face and even stuttered.
“The leader has come to visit.”
I was surprised too. I never dreamed that my father would come here.
“Come and bring him in.”
As soon as Seo Dae-ryong left, my father came into the office.
“Father? What brings you here?”
“I stopped by while passing by.”
No way. My father came because he had something to say to me.
“There is tea and alcohol.”
“Why are you drinking in broad daylight? Let’s have some tea.”
I got in the car myself and brought it out. Meanwhile, my father was standing by the window behind my seat and looking outside.
“Please have some tea.”
My father said, still looking out the window.
“You shouldn’t touch the Subhonmazone yet.”
I could tell that you had come to say this.
You know that I went to Seo-Hwan-Jin and arrested Neung-Hyu. And now that the body has been found, you know that I will not leave the Sub-Hon-Ma-Jun alone.
“Why not?”
“Because you can’t kill me with your martial arts skills.”
“I can kill you when you let your guard down. If that doesn’t work, I’ll stab you in the back.”
“It would be harder to stand behind him than to kill him.”
“Is the Subhonmazone really that strong?”
“It is both the weakest and the strongest.”
I understood what he meant.
If you surpass his soul-binding technique, that is, if you learn a martial art that his sorcery doesn’t work on, or if you reach a level of martial arts that his sorcery doesn’t work on, then he will be the easiest opponent. After all, if you take away the sorcery, the soul-binding demon’s martial arts won’t be that great.
From this perspective, the weakest demon lord against my father would be the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord’s magic would have no effect on my father at all.
“Can you help me get over this?”
“It’s impossible in a short period of time.”
“As you can see, I learn faster than you thought, didn’t I?”
“That’s not enough. There are two ways to block the soul-binding magic of the soul-binding demon. The first is to learn the Nine-Hydrant Magic. Depending on the quality of the person who has learned it, the degree to which it can be blocked will vary, but if you reach the fifth level, the soul-binding magic will not work on you.”
“I don’t want to hear the second one. Let me stop the first one.”
When my father asked me to make him his successor, he pretended not to hear me and suggested the second method.

“Or you can achieve the great success of Cheonmahoshinkong. Both are impossible right now, so I’m telling you to step back.”
One solution came to my mind at that time. There was one way I knew because I had regressed.
‘Father, actually, there is a third way.’
This is a hundred times easier than the first or second method.
The problem actually lay elsewhere.
“Is the Subhonmazon really necessary for our church?”
My father must have sensed the murderous intent in my calm question.
“Among the Palma Zone, the one that the Jeongpa people find the most difficult is Seophon.”
I said it indirectly, but it was absolutely necessary.
“Did you know that they are ripping out people’s hearts while they are still alive for the sake of Dafa?”
Father shook his head.
“I found out this time too.”
I wonder how my father will deal with this?
What father would like someone to take out his heart while he’s still alive?
However, as the leader of the school, you cannot just arbitrarily eliminate the person who will be the strongest force in the school when dealing with the Murim Alliance. This is not something that should be left to my father, but a problem that I must solve.
“You told me to tell you in advance before killing the Amazon?”
It was a promise his father made to Ian when he allowed him to learn the secret sword technique.
“I’m telling you now. I’m going to kill the Sub-Mazon. Of all the Palma-Mazons, he’s the first one to die.”
The longest-living Amazon before the return was the Sub-Hon Amazon. He will now live the exact opposite fate.
“This is not like killing people in a fit of anger because you don’t like them. It’s worse than a madman going around killing people. It’s killing people systematically and regularly while in their right mind. If the goal is grandiose, then I can understand. Isn’t this just me trying to get a little stronger? This isn’t human, Father. You have a position with the Palmajons, so leave it to me. You gave me the sword, so let me swing it until the end.”
I don’t know how much my father will agree with what I said. I want to go down the same path as him, but I’m going to think of this incident this way.
On a long journey, sometimes you have to part ways with your companions for a while and then meet again.
My father stared at me silently for a long time, then said something unexpected and left the room.
“If you have that level of skill… … you will fill his void, so there won’t be a big problem.”
“!”
It was permission to kill. He advised me to step forward when I had the skills, and pressured me to fill the gap.
A smile formed on my lips. Since he had already left, I said my thanks in my head.
‘Thank you, Father.’
After all, father is father. Yes, this wasn’t a journey where we should part ways. Father and I are still on the same path.
It’s unlikely, but if I were to become a father in this life… … I had a fleeting thought that I would like to give my son the same thrill that my father had just felt.
Of course, I will live alone in this life too.

“Please, please spare my children. If I die, my children… … .”
The man looked into the pleading eyes of the woman.
The woman looked at the man in horror.
The look in this ordinary-looking man’s eyes was so scary.
But she took courage because she thought of her children. She was raising them alone. If she didn’t take care of them, the young ones would die before they could survive the winter.
“Please let me go. I’ll do whatever you say. Please just let me go. Please! Please save me.”
Tears flowed from the woman’s eyes.
Then the woman saw the man’s eyes turn black. In the black shadows, she saw the figures of her children.
For a moment she smiled brightly in joy, but soon her face began to fill with pain.
The children suffered from hunger, were beaten by other beggars, and were dragged away by madmen to suffer.
“No! Please! No!”
The man’s eyes were cruel. He staged the children’s last moments as if he was going to extract all of her sadness.
Children were lying on the cold winter streets, dying. The words, “Mom, I’m hungry,” came out of their mouths.
“Ahhhh! No!”
When her grief and despair reached their peak, she lost her own heart.
Her heart was beating in the man’s hands.
The sadness of not being able to see my child anymore was greater than the sadness of losing my own life, and tears of blood splattered everywhere.
Her breath caught, and the ordinary-looking man’s internal energy increased just a little.
* * *
The next day, I took Neung-hyu, who was in the investigation room, and went to Seo-hwan-jin.
I decided to use the third method to kill the Demon Lord.
But to do that, it takes about two months. Because I have to arrive somewhere on a certain date. I need to buy some time until then. Just two months.
This time, I only took Seodaeryong with me. I brought him with me even though he said he was scared and didn’t want to go. I had to take him with me. The next Emperor of the Yellow Heavens needed a lot of experience.
The black eyes of the Subhonmazone that greeted us were grotesquely large.
“Neung-Hyu was found not guilty. There was no evidence to prove that he killed them.”
“Then just release Neung-hyu. Why did you come?”
“I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me.”
“Please pass it on to me.”
I sent Seo Dae-ryong outside. What I was about to say was important enough that the other person might react with murderous swear words.
Only two men spoke to him.
“I know that the Amazon Lord is unfolding the Heart-Soul Law.”
“What is the Heart and Soul Law? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.”
He lied without changing his gaze. He had risen to the position of the Demon Lord by manipulating people’s hearts, so he showed no emotional turmoil at all.
“Stop practicing Dafa.”
“Lee Gong-ja, what on earth are you talking about?”
His words resonated loudly everywhere.
“If you reject my offer, you will die.”
As the Demon Lord laughed as if it was ridiculous, my words echoed back as if mocking me.
-If you refuse, you die, if you refuse, you die… … .
The word death came to me in the voices of many people I knew.
I calmed my mind with the Cheonmahosingong and spoke firmly.
“It’s not me who kills Amazon.”
-It’s not me, it’s not me… … .
Again my words were repeated by several voices, mocking me.
“I will persuade my father.”
The echoes suddenly stopped at the mention of his father.
A quiet person who came to find the room.
The only person he fears.
For the time being, the only one who could stop him was his father.
“I will go and greet you every morning and ask you to kill the Demon Lord. I will go and ask you again the next day. Anyone who takes out the heart of a living person is only lowering the status of our sect. I will go and ask you again the next day. I will give up my successor, so please kill me. The next day, and the day after that, I will try to persuade you with all sorts of words. Then one day, when the Demon Lord makes a big mistake to my father, he might decide to do this.”
The moment I finished speaking, the black pupils of the Sub-Hon-Ma-Jon shrank to dots. It was a strange sight, as if the pupils had been sucked into something and only dots remained. At the same time, a powerful spirit energy was emitted from his body.
Keeheeheehee.
The surroundings darkened and then brightened as a ghostly sound was heard.
Before I knew it, the surroundings had completely changed.
