Episode 619
I heard it vaguely, but I still remembered it.
Sahonje was born in Kunlun Mountain and was a follower of the Cheonmasingyo religion, whose leader was the original ‘Yeongjeong’. As time passed and the Cheonmasingyo religion was destroyed, he took refuge in Cheonhaseong.
That’s a four-person wedding.
To be blunt, he is a person who has nothing to do with me.
There is no place for the Four Spirits Ritual in the Cheonmasingyo that I created.
A guy who wasn’t even an ally, but rather an enemy, was now in front of me, suggesting the direction in which the Cheonma Sect should move forward.
From my perspective, this seemed to go beyond the level of abuse and into nothing more than intimidation.
Just a person like the head of the Daewon clan.
This is beyond arrogant.
The strength in his grip was immediately felt. At the same time, Sahonje seemed to feel something.
He likewise gathered all his strength and kicked the seat to the side.
With a loud bang, the Sahonje crashes into the wall. I didn’t throw it. Sahonje simply kicked it hard enough that I couldn’t tell where it landed.
That was understandable.
Because right now I was thinking of blowing Sahonje’s head off.
and.
“There was a face like that under the mask.”
Sahonje wiped his face with a very stiff expression. Honestly, since we’ve brought it up, how often would a person walk around wearing a mask?
It’s understandable that it’s used when you need to keep your identity a secret from anyone, like a murderer.
But in broad daylight, the leader of the Daewon Party, who operates outside of Cheonhasung where there is a lot of interaction with people, continues to wear a mask?
It’s very strange.
It would be more accurate to say that wearing a mask is not a matter of taste, but rather a matter of having a reason to wear it.
And, as expected, there was a reason for the Sahonje to wear a mask.
His face was covered in burn marks everywhere except around his eyes.
I should say it was hideous. I was curious as to why he went around doing that when he could definitely be regenerated, but I didn’t bother to ask.
Because I’m going to kill you.
That was when.
“Just a moment, just a moment, please stop.”
I take after my father and my heart is broader than the Black Sea.
Sahonje spoke to me as I paused for a moment.
“… … I made a mistake. I’m sorry.”
The expression on Sahonje’s face was full of sincerity.
“As your highness knows, I am from the Shinto religion. Although I am a member of the Cheonhasung Church, I cannot let go of my attachment to that time and have been presumptuous. Please forgive me just this once with your generous heart.”
I could no longer express my killing intent towards the Sahonje who politely took the lottery ticket.
It’s not like I’m kidding, but shouldn’t I just let it slide when I hear people say things like that?

He said after roughly throwing the torn mask he had in his hand to the side.
“Let me hear the reason.”
“… … I’m from a Protestant background… … .”
“Stop talking nonsense.”
Sahonje, who had kept his mouth shut, seemed to be thinking about something for a moment, then said to me.
“… …because of your status.”
“My identity?”
“If you were a commoner from the Western Continent, or a descendant of a fallen noble, or just a child of a family from the Eastern Continent, or even a beggar from the Open World, I wouldn’t have cared this much.”
therefore.
“The problem is that I am the crown prince?”
“… … The reason the Cheonma Shingyo fell was because of greed. It wasn’t the greed of your father, Jack Milos, the master of all continents, but the greed of the two, Youngjeong, the leader of the Shingyo, and Hyukjin Kang of Cheonwicheon, who wanted to completely rule this world. This is a clear fact.”
“so?”
“… … But there aren’t many people who think like me.”
Those words were ultimately the crux of everything.
“The reason why Cheonhasung was able to rule the Eastern Continent was because the Heavenly Demon Sect collapsed. The one who collapsed the Heavenly Demon Sect was the current emperor. To most people, this is simply the truth. No one knows your true identity right now. However, your identity will be revealed in the future. When that happens.”
“What if that happens?”
“… … There will be problems. You will certainly be able to grow the Heavenly Demon Sect to a large size, but if the Heavenly Demon Sect becomes so large that it causes internal strife, the Eastern Continent will be engulfed in utter chaos.”
“You’re looking too far into the future.”
“It is also a future that is certain to come.”
I looked at Sahonje with a strange expression.
As you can see, it seems clear that Sahonje is thinking about the future of the followers of the Cheonmasingyo. If that is the case, there is no need to talk at length.
however.
“Who gave you that scar?”
The four-person family spoke with an expression on their faces.
Why are you curious about that?
Before I could even reply, he said,
“It’s a spirit tablet.”
“Spiritual?”
“Yes. He is the leader of the Cheonma Sect and the owner of the Cheonma Sword that was on your waist. This is the wound he inflicted on you.”
“But you care so much for the descendants of the new religion?”
“It is also the price for my mistake. Also, it was the spirit that was hurt, not the church members. They are not guilty.”
That’s enough.

Honestly, there was no need to talk about this topic any further.
I got straight to the point.
“Geum Tae-seong said something interesting earlier.”

The story that Geum Tae-seong was telling was the same. Sa-hon-je answered right away.
“… … Are you talking about the canal?”
“Yes, the canal. I’m thinking of using the canal that Cheonhasung monopolizes.”
“… … This requires the Lord’s approval. It is a matter I cannot handle on my own.”
I ended up laughing hysterically.
“If you are referring to the followers of the Heavenly Demon Sect, you are probably referring to the descendants of Kunlun Mountain. Is that correct?”
“you’re right.”
“They are now my ‘people’ too. I have to earn money to feed them, and as you know, inspectors’ salaries aren’t that great.”
The expression on Sahonje’s face changed strangely.
An inspector’s salary is about two gold leaves a month.
I wouldn’t say it’s a huge amount, but it’s not that much either.
But, I know about Sahonje.
If you become the Inspector General, you can use the budget, and that budget can be made into blind money as long as it does not deviate from the regulations.
But in the end, that too is just a temporary measure.
You have to have a business that you can sustain for the long term.
“The ice crystals refined from the eternal snow of the North Sea are sold at a very high price to the nobles of the Western Continent. How about increasing the ice crystals and trading them?”
“… … Could it be that the Bukhae Ice Palace has been absorbed into the Heavenly Demon Sect?”
“okay.”
There’s no reason to hide it. It’s going to be known anyway.
“Will you do it?”
“As I said before, I need the Lord’s permission… … but considering the Lord’s disposition, I don’t think he would necessarily refuse.”
“Good. Then I will send an agent soon.”
Just then, I was about to turn around and go outside.
“Can I ask you something?”
I turned my head.
The priest said to me,
“My real name is ‘Young-Heo.’”
“… … Huh?”
“The spirit of Cheonmasingyo had two illegitimate children.”
My eyebrows furrow. An illegitimate child?
“I am the son of Yeongjeong. I am not a minor cult leader and am an illegitimate child who did not learn the Heavenly Demonic Art. And ‘Yeongwol’ is my half-brother. Although I belong to Cheonhasung, my concern for the future of the new religion has not changed. Things will proceed as the cult leader wishes.”
The polite attitude of the Sahonje did not catch my eye.
He just kept making a dumbfounded expression.
So, Yeongwol inherited the blood of Yeongjeong, the leader of the Shingyo sect?
* * *

Yeongwol, who was organizing documents in the cabin, was lost in thought for a moment.
Since childhood, Yeongwol was born and raised in Shingyo.
Yeongjeong, the cult leader, had many girlfriends.
Such a spirit had three children, all of them illegitimate. One of them died, one of them disappeared, and one of them continued to live in Kunlun Mountain as a descendant of the new religion.
It was simple.
The dead don’t need your attention.
The missing person gave up his real name and began living under the name ‘Sahonje’, and the remaining one went under the name Yeongwol and became the head of the Hoecheon Church and led it.
Cheonwol, the leader of Hoecheon Church, did not appoint Yeongwol as the leader for no reason. If Jincheonhwi, the vice-leader, had not been there, Yeongwol would have probably been appointed as the vice-leader.
Of course, very few people know that Yeongwol is a descendant of Yeongjeong.
Should I say that it is a truth that there is no reason to go around saying?
It does more harm than good.
From Cheonwol’s perspective, if that is revealed, it may be necessary to purge the followers who believe that it is Yeongwol, not Cheonwol, who will rebuild Cheonmasingyo.
It is absurd to further reduce the power of the Cheonmasingyo, which is already weak.
Yeongwol was not stupid, so he just kept his mouth shut and lived.
But at least Yeongwol’s close associates know that fact.
That she is a descendant of Yeongjeong.
That’s a formidable weapon.
A weapon that can perfectly unite the followers of the Cheonmasingyo.
Yeongwol planned to tell this fact to the current leader, Melon, someday.
But I didn’t do it intentionally.
That’s related to the weapon thing I mentioned earlier, but I didn’t want to put value on that weapon.
Yeongwol wanted to prove his own abilities.
Although he did not learn martial arts from a young age and thus grew very slowly, he is still a martial artist.
Unmanned refers to those who prove themselves.
That’s why I had a plan to prove my individual abilities first and then reveal my background later.
That moment gave me goosebumps.
“I just came back from Daewon Hall, and Sahonje told an interesting story.”
It was because of the voice heard from behind. Yeongwol quickly stood up from her seat and turned her head. It was Melon.
“I heard that he is Yeongjeong’s illegitimate child. Is that true?”
Yeongwol was stinging.
Yeongwol also knows what Sahonje’s real name is.
Oh my.
But I didn’t know that damn bastard would hit me in the back of the head like this. I thought even if we weren’t that close, we would at least keep each other’s secrets. This damn bastard.
Yeongwol, who had been silent for a moment, said.
“… … I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you in advance.”

Melon shook her head.
To be honest, I was just surprised.
Whose son or whose daughter she is.
What does that matter?
They’re not kids, and they’ve already graduated from dividing classes into classes and such a long time ago.
Melon was just feeling a little offended.
The reason was simple.
“From now on, don’t let anyone hear the secrets about ‘my person’. Do you understand?”
Yeongwol gave me a strange feeling more than anything else when it came to the word ‘my person’. Should I say that it had a deep resonance?
Yeongwol forgot the situation and smiled.
No matter how I think about it, this is the right person.
“And, I told Sahonje that I would increase the amount of ice and make a deal, so I’ll go and check it out sometime soon.”
This meant that you should sort it out yourself.
Yeongwol answered as if it was a given.
“Your name-!”
Melon said to Yeongwol like that.
“I have somewhere to go, and I might be away for a few days. If something comes up that just can’t be resolved, use this.”
As he said that, Melon handed him something, and Yeongwol’s expression became strange as he accepted it.
Because it was a necklace.
“It’s a necklace with forced teleportation. Wear it around your neck.”
“Thank you… ….”
I suddenly became curious.
“By the way, where do you plan on going?”
Melon answered without hesitation.
“Dragon Canyon.”
Dragon’s Canyon.
If you go straight east from the Eastern Continent, you will come across a place called Hwagok Mountain.
The current name for that mountain is Dragon’s Valley.
Why Dragon’s Canyon? It was simple.
Because dragons live there.
The place where the strongest being on the current Eastern Continent lives.
The best in the East Continent.
A monster of immobility.
The Dragon Lord Cell’s home is Dragon’s Canyon.
Melon now plans to go see her teacher whom she hasn’t seen for a while.
