The 70th Difference in Detail.
Cheongseon performed the nine-bow ceremony and officially became a disciple of the Pungcheon religious leader.
The news spread like wildfire, and the school, including Seo Hwan-jin, began to stir.
Surprisingly, there were more people who supported her and said it was a good choice than those who criticized her.
Rather than ascending to the position of Demon Lord with weak magic power for the sake of fame or reputation, I thought it would be wiser to learn properly from the leader of the Fengchun sect and ascend to the position of Demon Lord. As expected, the demons of our sect were those who pursued practicality more than fame.
The sorcerers of Seo Hwan-jin, who were expected to be particularly resistant, came out in support of her even more.
Because of this, the transfer of Japanese imperial power became difficult. The plan to worsen public opinion by claiming that Cheongseon was receiving outside help went awry.
Now it is unclear who will be the successor.
“What do you think?”
The person that the leader of Pungcheon was curious about was Cheongseon.
“Don’t people see the leader well? Trust your own judgment.”
“It looks like there’s more to the platform than meets the eye.”
“I saw it similarly.”
“I think it’s worth raising once.”
In the first place, I didn’t want to take her as my disciple. I used her as an excuse to stay in the Central Plains, but when I saw Cheongseon, I was attracted to the strange malice she exuded.
“I guess there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m attracted to bad girls.”
“Be careful. Even the master seemed to have ambitions to eat you.”
“That’s why it’s good.”
As the leader of the Pungcheon sect smiled, the man in shackles also smiled faintly.
“You seem to be in a good mood these days?”
“Me?”
“I don’t even swear much.”
Above all, I haven’t asked for several days to open a new space using space-time transfer.
“If you’re bored, would you like me to curse at you?”
“No way! I like it now.”
But deep down, I was missing the curse of the chained man.
“By the way, the leader here is quiet.”
It seems that the leader of the Pungcheon sect is concerned about Cheonma.
“It will continue to be like that in the future.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Because the scholar must have met his father and finished talking.”
“Did you even bother to think that far?”
“I must have written it. Success and failure come from the difference in meticulousness.”
“Why are you so friendly to the scholar? You even gave him a generous evaluation. Did you get some money from him?”
The chained man raised his head and looked at the leader of the Pungcheon cult.
“Do you not like that?”
“I don’t like it.”
“Then let’s go back to Sae-oe. If we go to a place where there are no scholars, there won’t be any favors for us to show, right?”
The leader of the Fengchun sect looked annoyed and just sighed. Although it was annoying, it wasn’t wrong. After all, he was the one who brought him here in chains that clanked and clanked.
“I told you, the leader is not blessed enough to have everything.”
“Damn it. Stop talking about that! Why do you keep talking about how lucky you are?”
“I’m telling you this because you keep taking the wrong path.”
“I don’t support a single word.”
It was then that his subordinate came and reported the new facts.
“The hosts came to the outskirts and cooked for our unmanned crew.”
“Housekeepers? Which housekeepers?”
“These are the servants sent by the Duke of Yi. They prepared a sumptuous banquet using the finest ingredients.”
At those words, the leader of the Pungcheon Church looked at the man in shackles and asked.
“Is this it? The difference in meticulousness you mentioned?”
The chained man nodded.
“You’re really amazing at such a young age. I said it, but I didn’t know you’d take care of it to this extent. Maybe… … .”
“perhaps?”
“This may be the moment when an unprecedented figure is born in the Demonic Cult, or rather in the martial arts world. We are witnessing that moment of history together.”
“You just sent a messenger?”
“Yes. I will send the thief, the disciple, and the master. It will be right. A moment in history.”
Unlike the passionate man in chains, the leader of the Pungcheon cult was calm.
“At that moment in history, I was being robbed of all my divine power.”
As if he already knew the reason, the man in shackles calmly comforted the leader of the Pungcheon cult.
“Change your perspective. The cult leader’s sacred water is being used for great things.”
“As I said before, I’m not the main character of that big thing. I have no intention of becoming a tool for someone else’s success.”
“To become a protagonist, you have to be diligent like a scholar. You have to work hard like a scholar.”
“I’m trying too, right?”
“Is it an effort to ask me everything?”
The leader of the Fengchun sect couldn’t refute him. These days, most of the work is left to the chained man.
The expression and tone of the man in chains changed at the sight of the leader of the Pungcheon sect who could not escape from his worries.
“Hey, leader.”
The leader of the Pungcheon Church was so happy to hear him speak informally at this moment. He was so happy to hear him speak informally to him that he worried that he might never speak informally to him again.
“I know you’re trying.”

“What effort did I make? You’re right.”
“No. It is your effort to endure greed and give new water. It is your effort to gather new water and to protect it. I know very well that being greedy is also your effort. I know that your efforts are as difficult as someone trying to escape the net of heaven and earth while covered in blood.”
The heart of the leader of the Pungcheon Church was touched. It is only recently that I have come to realize how comforting it is for a person to have someone understand his or her heart.
However, he did not want to show his weakness to the chained man, so he tried hard to hide his true feelings and shouted at the leader of the Fengchun cult.
“No! I don’t want to give you my holy water! You damn idiot, come here and I’ll tell you to get out of here right now. Get out of here, idiot! Cover your ears so I don’t make you go deaf to my yelling. Do you understand?”
Then the subordinate outside spoke.
“The engineer has arrived.”
The leader of the Pungcheon sect shook his head with a look of disbelief.
“You’re like a crazy scientist! You really appear at a moment like this?”
The man in chains laughed out loud for the first time in a long while. He covered his ears and said politely.
“Okay, I’m ready.”
* * *
“Welcome, Mr. Lee.”
The leader of the Pungcheon Church greeted me with a cheerful face.
On the days when he gave me new water, I could see his hands shaking, but today he seemed a bit more relaxed. Did he learn the truth that it is easier to give up?
After a while, the servant brought out the table with drinks.
“Let’s have a drink together today.”
“great.”
“Have a drink.”
I got a drink.
“Now, have a drink.”
After a pleasant toast with him, we drank some alcohol. Of course, there was poison in my mouth.
“I’m glad to see you trust me.”
I didn’t bother to spit out poison to hurt his feelings.
It was just then.
“Are you biting the poisoned wine?”
I could tell. The chained man had sent a telegram telling me that he was biting the poisoned wine. He really was an extraordinary man.
“Yes, it is.”
I spat out the poison from my mouth.
“Oh my god! When did you ask that?”
“I asked when the table was set.”
“There were no signs at all?”
“I practiced a lot.”
“You’re saying that the drink I gave you is poisoned… … That’s really too much.”
“Haven’t I told you before? There is no relationship between us yet. The idea of a relationship between you and me is something that does not exist in this world.”
“You came here again today to take my precious possessions and you still say such things?”
“In this mess, it won’t be a matter of how many bottles of divine water you take if you want to find common ground.”
“It’s like there’s only poison between us now?”
“A relationship where you give and receive is better than a relationship where you are awkward and can change depending on the situation.”
“Words really can’t describe it. Like someone else.”
“yes?”
“No.”
I guessed that the target was the chained man.
The leader of the Pungcheon sect has risen.
“Now, the alcohol has lost its flavor, so let’s choose some fresh water. Now, choose quickly.”
“thank you.”
Before choosing the new water, I went to the sound bell.
“Let’s take a look at the thunder bell again. It’s still beautiful no matter how many times I watch it.”
Actually, I wanted to see the chained man up close again.
I glanced at the man after looking at the thunder bell. The man in shackles was sitting there with his head down like a fossil.
‘Why are you helping me?’
You could send me a telegram, but I’d rather you didn’t. He’s not a light man.
Will the day ever come when I will have a conversation with this man? How far will his fate and mine be connected?
I started walking again towards the fresh water.
I pretended to just look around, but I had already decided what I wanted to take.
“I will choose this.”
This time, the new product I chose was a thick, rolled-up bandage.
The leader of the Pungcheon Church hardened his expression. Instead of words, his expression cursed like this.
Damn it! Damn it! How can you take away such precious things?
“Did you know what it was when you chose it?”
Of course I know that too well.
“I don’t know. There was something mysterious about the cloth being wrapped around it.”
“that…….”
The leader of the Fengchun sect took a deep breath. Chimi tried to calm down her anger and explained it.
“It’s called the ultimate heavenly silk. It’s a timeless treasure that can’t be cut even with a sword, and when wrapped in several layers, it can even block sword energy or sword energies. You can wrap it around your arms or legs to use it, or wrap it around your heart to protect it. That’s not all. It’s effective in blocking the cold, and it’s also fireproof. In the world of martial arts, there are only a handful of weapons that can cut this ultimate heavenly silk without sword energy or sword energies.”
The black magic sword that I was carrying was also included in that handful of weapons.
“I was so short-sighted that I didn’t realize how precious it was.”
“I don’t recognize you, but why did you choose this? Why on earth!”
“sorry.”
The leader of the Fengchun sect couldn’t hide his regret. He sighed several times and handed it to me. His hands were trembling.
“Please use it well.”
“thank you.”
He took it as if he was forcibly taking something that he didn’t want to let go of.
I felt grateful to the leader of the Fengchun sect. Although he may have felt bitter inside, he always kept his promises and gave me new water without holding back.
It was excessive compensation for what I had done, but the reason I accepted it without hesitation was because I wanted to help him achieve his dream.
“I will never forget the kindness of the cult leader.”
In times like these, it would have been nice to show off his discipleship, but the leader of the Pungcheon Church could not hide his regret.
The man in shackles was looking at me from over his shoulder. There was no way the leader would have just given up the holy water when he was so frugal. It was the same with the Blood God Sect before, and this Geukpumcheonjamsa too. It must have been thanks to the man in shackles that he received it smoothly.
This was the feeling I conveyed in my eyes.
Thank you. I won’t forget.
As if he understood, the chained man slowly lowered his head and returned to the fossil.
* * *
When I returned to my residence, I took out the Geukpumcheonjamsa.
I unwound it to a length that could be wrapped around my wrist three times and cut it with my black magic sword.
It could have been cut just like that, but I put a lot of effort into it to cut it cleanly and cut it carefully.
He is a genius in front of the ancient swords such as my father’s Heavenly Demon Sword or my Black Demon Sword, but he is a monster to other weapons.
I wrapped it three times around my left wrist.
No matter what happens, as long as you wear this, your hand will not be cut off by an opponent’s attack. For now, it is enough to wrap it around your left wrist. The black magic sword will block your right hand. The fact that you can use it only where necessary is better than any other protective gear or self-defense equipment.
I wrapped the remaining Extreme Heavenly Cloth around the handle of the Black Magic Sword. I will use it the next time I need it.
I just hope I don’t wrap this around my body and run off somewhere. It’s going to be hell there. Or it’s going to be hell in the first place.
