Episode 119
They showed up!
But it wasn’t Gu Min-chae who appeared first with the gold chain.
“Huh, gasp! My lord!”
“Fifteen, what on earth are you doing here?”
Fifteen-ho hurriedly tried to cover something with his body as if he had been caught doing something he shouldn’t have done.
But does that mean we can go anywhere?
“Yes, inooooooom!”
“How dare you try to hide something from the young sect leader!”
“Can’t you show the young cult leader what you’ve been hiding right now!”
As the ghosts ran wild, the face of the fifteenth person became pale.
“That, that-“
“Come out.”
“If you, if you, if you give me just a little bit of time-“
“Hey, pull me out.”
“Your name!”
“Oh my god!!”
“Little Sister, please! Give me time! Give me a chance and I will never disappoint you… Kkueeeek!”
After a huge commotion, the guy was dragged out and the hidden situation was revealed.
There, a dozen or so ghosts were standing there with their eyes wide open, covering their faces with human curtains.
As if he would never open the way.
They were the few demons I caught a while ago.
And behind him, Gu Min-chae was sitting quietly with her legs crossed, lost in meditation.
The guy didn’t move at all.
To anyone who saw him, he would look like a monk training under a waterfall.
Only then did the full circumstances become apparent.
“You made such a fuss about maintaining discipline, but you still haven’t done anything?”
For a while, the 15th floor was happy to have a lot of new recruits under him.
But that laughter didn’t last long.
This was because the Guminchae and the minority groups were not easy.
They must have been displeased that a low-level minion, whom they had never paid attention to while alive, was trying to act as their superior.
So we banded together and stood up to the Fifteenth.
Naturally, the fifteenth issue was pushed back in number and had no choice but to have a weaker foothold.
In that case, the other senior ghosts should have helped, but instead, they just watched from the sidelines, giggling and saying it was fun, and showed no intention of intervening.
“It’s not like we didn’t intend to help from the beginning.”
“The youngest one refused our help, saying he wanted to take responsibility for the training of new recruits on his own.”
“So we can only stand by and watch.”
“But I didn’t know it would be this much of a mess!!”
The ghosts quickly fell to the floor, trying to make excuses for themselves, hoping that I would say something.
What more can I say here?
You should blame the fifteenth person who got eaten by the lower ranks because he was greedy. There is no such thing as a torturer, a torturer.
“Get out of the way. I have something to discuss with your captain.”
「… … .」
「… … .」
「… … .」
Despite my orders, the few ghostly spirits showed no intention of lifting their curtains.
“Little Sister, please leave it to us!!”
“I will discipline you thoroughly so that you can properly grasp the subject!”
The corners of my lips twisted.
I grabbed the gold chain.
By pulling this, you can turn them all into ghost rings without having to bother summoning ghosts separately.
“Open the way. I have something important to discuss with Un-Hwi.”
At that moment, Gu Min-chae slowly opened her eyes.
A soft voice.
It was as if the decision to grant permission was up to him.
Only then did the few demons make their way.
Huh?
If someone saw me, they would think that Gu Min-chae was the owner of this place and I was the guest?
“Hey, Guminchae. It seems like you don’t understand the topic.”
Do you think I would be grateful if you did that?
“It’s not because I respect you that I’ve left you alone all this time. It’s because I want to extract more information about the North Sea Straits.”
I pulled the gold chain hard.
Then all the chains around the neck of the little demon became taut.
In an instant, their balls turned to the side.
Crap!
Crunch!

「!!」
“Ah, no! My new recruits! My juniors!!”
The ghosts’ faces turned pale at the sight they had not seen in a long time.
The sorrowful scream of the fifteenth was heard.
The ghosts of the minority demons all fell at once and turned into small beads.
There was Gu Min-chae, clicking her tongue lightly.
“They weren’t trying to protect me. They were fanatics who were watching me to prevent me from betraying the sect even after death. That’s how it is. This sect. They’re brainwashed to the bone and have no free will at all.”
“Are you saying you haven’t been brainwashed?”
“That’s right. Even now, my loyalty to the lord remains the same. However, my sense of betrayal has deepened, so I’ve decided to stick with you.”
“But haven’t I already told you?”
“It’s not that I was trying to hide the information. It just took time to bring back old memories.”
“Because you’re being foolish.”
I twitched the corners of my lips.
“But if those contents are nothing special, you know?”
“You can look forward to it. First of all, what I’m most curious about is probably the relationship between Binghonmama and the company?”
“I told you about the Ice Soul Mama’s knot last time. Now tell me about the meeting.”
The analysis of the Binghonmama Gong was already almost complete.
The secret to improving it was to dissolve it in the Black Dragon’s Heart and obtain pretty good results.
The biggest help was that I was able to freely manipulate the two energies of yin and yang in martial arts.
“A sect is a kind of religious group.”
“religion?”
This was completely unexpected.
Gu Min-chae nodded with a dead face and dark circles under her eyes.
“I heard that they are receiving a god called Blood God or something. I don’t know the details. However, I am certain that it is of a different type and origin from the Great Demon God worshipped by the new religion.”
I quietly listened to Gu Min-chae’s words.
“The organizational structure consists of nine apostles at the head, under a priest called an archbishop, and below them are various executives such as bishops and cardinals.”
“… … .”
“However, I don’t know much about anything beyond that. The one who mostly interacted with the company was the lord, and I mostly just received orders.”
“… … .”
“But the ones I occasionally met… were so strong that it made my teeth chatter. Even the lord was only able to give up a few moves before obtaining the Ice Soul Demon Lord.”
Even the North Sea Kings are difficult to guarantee victory against.
“Then, are they apostles?”
Gu Min-chae shook her head.
“No. They were nothing more than a mere archbishop or cardinal. The apostles were much more powerful than that. At least… they seemed to surpass the Ark of the Covenant.”
This is not something that can be taken lightly.
Entering the celestial orbit.
Because that was a realm that only the top ten masters in the world, who were considered the darkest in the martial arts world, could reach.
But even so, there are many people who just let that pass?
Doesn’t that mean there are at least dozens of people?
If other people heard it, they would dismiss it as nonsense, but not me.
If my guess is correct, then they were not from ‘this world’ in the first place.
“… You’re not surprised at all. I guess you knew something.”
“I’m warning you, don’t try to leave. I’m the one asking now.”
「… … Be careful. In any case, they had a power that even the lord had no choice but to bow his head to, so the lord faithfully followed his orders. And he obtained the Ice Soul Demon Lord and was able to enter the Ark that he had so desperately desired.」
“There is nothing more foolish than borrowing the help of others to rise to the top.”
Power easily gained is easily lost.
That was something that Master always told me. And I thought the same thing.
Unless the company was stupid, would they have just given up on such ignorance?
I don’t know for sure, but it must have been a strong necklace that was put on the North Sea King.
They gave up their freedom simply because of greed.
In the process, he will mistakenly believe that he is making good use of the company.
Because I sound like a stupid old man.
“Because he was that desperate. The path to becoming a lord was that difficult for him.”
“What desperation? You must be blinded by greed.”
「… … .」
“Anyway, what happened after that?”
“And after entering the ark, a new desire arose in him.”
“greed?”
“The thorn in my eye, Cheonma, has disappeared. Then, there will only be one place to covet.”
“You mean the religious leader?”
Gu Min-chae nodded heavily.
“You crazy kid.”
A swear word came out.
I didn’t want to openly curse my father in front of my children, but I just couldn’t stand it.
“The position of the cult leader is one that can be challenged at any time. But since you can’t do it on your own, you invited in an outside force. Can you still call yourself a cult leader?”
“… But Jongju wasn’t the only one aiming for that spot.”
“The other lords who joined the rebellion must have been equally furious.”
It was obvious even without looking.
Where will that greed go?
They’re all the same guys.
“So you attempted to invade the Central Plains to achieve such a feat?”
“Yes. Then, I will be able to take the vacant position of the Seventh Apostle in the current meeting. Then, I will definitely gain an advantage in rank, so I judged that the other sect leaders will no longer be able to aim for the position of sect leader.”
Now I think I finally understand why the Bukhae Emperor was trying to come down to Sacheon so soon after the end of the civil war.
Aren’t you gambling the fate of your sect out of your own greed?
That alone would disqualify him from being a leader.
‘I know exactly what he wants, so if I use it well, I think I can make a fun game.’
The Northern Sea Lord must somehow return to Tian Shan with the head of the Dark Lord.
When it fails, the only thing that remains is political ruin.
So, we will do our best to make this operation a success.
Even if you appear relaxed on the outside, you must be burning inside.
‘Can’t another sect hit him in the back of the head?’
Something crossed my mind, but I put the thought aside for a moment because I needed to watch the situation a bit more and reinforce it.
Instead, there was something that needed to be addressed first.
“By the way, the seventh apostle’s seat is vacant? What’s going on with that?”
“I don’t know the details either. But.”
“but?”
“I have vaguely heard that the original mission of the Seventh Apostle was to pursue the lost Heavenly Demon Sword.”
In that moment, my eyes lit up.
“Have you found your master’s whereabouts?”
Gu Min-chae shook her head.
“I don’t know about that either. That’s all I know. In the first place, I overheard that part by accident while entering the conference room after receiving a call from the lord.”
“… … .”
I stared at Guminchae for a long time, narrowing my eyes.
Gu Min-chae protested that it was true and that there was no need for her to hide it now.
Judging by his attitude, it certainly seemed like he had nothing more to hide. There was no lie in his words.
In the end, there was only one conclusion left from this interrogation.
I must be the one to take the life of the Northern Sea Lord.
Only then could we obtain clues about the vacant position of the Seventh Apostle and the whereabouts of our Master.
‘I can’t hunt and catch the Northern Sea Lord who has boarded the Ark by myself right now. So, the Dark Lord’s help is essential.’
In the end, it meant that we had to attack the North Sea Lord who was running away after being attacked by the Dark Lord.
But even that won’t be easy.
Because the realm of the Ark is a superhuman realm that transcends human limitations.
I had to pour all my energy into it and delve deeper into the Cheonmahosimgong and Cheonmagugeom.
As expected, I had to open the Ten-Way Battleship Demonic Cultivation.
Then, the Cheonmahosimgong, which is just now starting to open its doors little by little, will settle deeper into your body.
And… … I thought that the Mancheonggong that the Dark Lord had given me might be a good key.
If the Master truly attained the Mancheonggong and enlightenment, there would definitely be traces of the Mancheonggong left in the Heavenly Demon Sword.
more.
I had to go higher.
With that in mind, I was about to ask about the man with the reversed Tai Chi eyes.
“…This is.”
Gu Min-chae raised her head.
For a moment, the guy’s face distorted.
Obvious hostility.
I also turned my gaze in that direction.
“My lord!! They have appeared!”
Above my head, a hot horse was spinning around and around urgently.
The North Sea Straits were approaching.
Reincarnation Demon Temple
