Little Demon Reversion to Youth

Chapter 207

Jian Yi rushed to the Hyuk-ryeon family as soon as the three-stage beacon was lit.

As expected. He saw the leaders of the Hyuk-ryeon family, including Hyuk-ryeon Seung-mu, entering the main headquarters.

After grasping the forces that were in agreement, he came out and saw the 'Bright Left Emissary' being ambushed, and he saved him.

'To think that the Right Emissary has learned 'Heavenly Demon Qi'...'

Although he pretended to be calm on the outside, he could not help but be surprised.

'Heavenly Demon Qi' was only possible by learning the 'Heavenly Demon Divine Art', which was only passed down to the Cult Leader and the Young Lord.

'Sharp energy' had different characteristics depending on the 'internal energy'. 'Heavenly Demon Qi' was both gentle and firm, so it could not be handled with ordinary 'sharp energy'.

The reason the past Young Lord had been able to deal with the Blood Cult Leader was also thanks to 'Heavenly Demon Qi'.

The 'Bright Right Emissary', when he saw Jian Yi's gaze shaking slightly, burst into a triumphant laugh.

Instead of bowing his head to the Hyuk-ryeon family, he had obtained the 'Heavenly First Divine Art'.

"Heu-heu... you've noticed. Are you surprised? It seems you can't believe that I have learned the 'Heavenly Demon Divine Art'."

"To have broken into the 'Heavenly Demon Martial Library'. The Right Emissary is also a man of great courage. If the Cult Leader finds out about this..."

The 'Bright Right Emissary' raised his hand and stopped Jian Yi's words.

He could not reveal the source of the 'Heavenly Demon Divine Art'. But one thing was certain.

"The Cult Leader is dead. I have confirmed it."

"By what means... ah!"

If he had obtained 'Heavenly Demon Qi', he could enter the 'Heavenly Demon Cave'.

Jian Yi asked in surprise, "Are you saying you have entered the 'Heavenly Demon Cave'?"

"Keu-heu-heu. That's right. It means I also have the qualifications of a Cult Leader."

Jian Yi thought for a moment and then laughed loudly.

"Hahaha. A passing dog would laugh. A Cult Leader..."

The 'Bright Right Emissary's' eyes narrowed, and a killing intent flowed out. Jian Yi stopped laughing and said, "Do you think the Hyuk-ryeon family will revere you as the Cult Leader? You have to say something that makes sense."

"..."

The 'Bright Right Emissary' also knew. He had been able to know when he had received the 'Heavenly Demon Divine Art' from Hyuk-ryeon Gi. That he had obtained the 'Heavenly Demon Divine Art' a long time before him and had reached the ninth stage of achievement.

But he believed in his own talent.

After much effort, he had risen to the position of 'Bright Right Emissary' with a status that was not one of the twelve guardian families.

If he were given time, he was confident that he could also reach the tenth stage of the 'Heavenly Demon Divine Art'.

The 'Bright Right Emissary's' gaze suddenly softened.

"You just have to help me."

Jian Yi was also one of the 'Four Guardian Divine Generals'. As a subordinate of the Young Lord, it was known that not only his martial arts but also his strategy were outstanding.

If he could win over Jian Yi... it would be a great help.

"Follow me. I will treat you well. The position of 'Bright Left Emissary' is yours."

"No thanks."

Jian Yi shook his head.

"I don't have the confidence to serve a brat whose head is inferior to mine."

"..."

"Get a grasp of the situation. Why do you think I held on to you and chattered on and on?"

The 'Bright Right Emissary' raised his eyes and looked towards the So family.

So Jeong-hu and the masters of the So family were flying in.

"Heu-heu-heu. It seems you are the one who is mistaken. Anyway, they are also obstacles that I must remove. If there are more brats to call, it would be better to call them."

'The Young Lord must be here.'

It was Jian Yi, who had something he believed in. He smiled slyly and said, "Since the Right Emissary can't judge the situation... he is being played by the Hyuk-ryeon family. By any chance, did you also get the 'Heavenly Demon Divine Art' from the Hyuk-ryeon family? Seeing you wagging your tail at the bone that is thrown like a stray dog, it seems so."

"You brat. Die!"

The Right Emissary's figure bounced forward and thrust out a palm.

Go-o-o-o.

The 'sharp energy' containing 'Heavenly Demon Qi' rushed towards Jian Yi's entire body.

"Ike!"

Although Jian Yi had prepared in advance, he pretended to be flustered and dragged the 'Bright Left Emissary' back about ten 'zhang'.

The technique of avoiding was something he had learned while being beaten countless times by the Young Lord.

The 'Heavenly Demon Qi' grazed by, narrowly missing, and fell to the ground.

As if a thunderbolt had struck, the ground heaved, and dust rose.

"Stop!"

In the meantime, So Jeong-hu and the masters of the So family had arrived.

The 'Silent Saber', Oh Jeong-ri, and Seomun Jeong-ha also landed behind So Jeong-hu.

"Keu-heu-heu. The stragglers of the So family have all gathered."

"Right Emissary, are you crazy?"

So Jeong-hu composed his face and shouted.

The 'Bright Right Emissary' smiled slyly and said, "Of course not. I am perfectly fine. Today, I intend to wash the So family with blood and to write a new history of the sect."

As soon as the 'Bright Right Emissary' finished speaking, he struck out with both palms towards So Jeong-hu. Since the 'Bright Left Emissary' had collapsed, the most troublesome opponent was So Jeong-hu.

So Jeong-hu also raised his internal energy and received the attack.

The two instantly became entangled and clashed about ten times.

Jian Yi hastily shouted, "Be careful. That brat has learned the 'Heavenly Demon Divine Art'."

As soon as the words were finished, 'kwang', 'sharp energy' and 'sharp energy' clashed, and So Jeong-hu was pushed back as if he had been thrown.

"'Heavenly Demon Qi'...?"

"Heu-heu-heu..."

Now, with just the 'Heavenly Demon Qi' of the first stage, he had defeated So Jeong-hu, and the 'Bright Right Emissary' let out a triumphant laugh.

So Jeong-hu's face was extremely grave.

"Will you kneel now?"

At that moment, a low voice was heard from one side.

"Right Emissary, it seems your liver has come out of your stomach. How dare you enter the 'Heavenly Demon Martial Library'?"

The 'Bright Right Emissary' was startled.

A middle-aged man who was slowly walking in, as if he had appeared out of nowhere.

"Cult... Cult Leader?"

"It seems the time I was away was long. To think that you would harbor rebellious thoughts."

"Th-this can't be..."

Although the 'Bright Right Emissary' had also entered the 'Heavenly Demon Cave', he had not been able to break through the last formation and had seen the Cult Leader who had 'died while sitting in meditation' in front of the 'Heavenly Demon Flying Cave'.

He was sure he was dead.

'Ah... some brat is disguised as the Cult Leader!'

With a sudden thought, the 'Bright Right Emissary' regained his composure.

"Heu-heu... the So family has prepared a cute trick. It's really the same. I was almost deceived."

"..."

The middle-aged man, Baekji, looked at the 'Bright Right Emissary' with an indifferent gaze.

"To think that you can stop the general trend by disguising yourself as a dead Cult Leader. How absurd."

"..."

The 'Bright Right Emissary', while being sure that the Cult Leader was a fake, was subtly anxious and chattered on and on without realizing it.

"..."

Baekji just looked at the 'Bright Right Emissary' without a word.

At Baekji's silence, the 'Bright Right Emissary's' anxiety was further heightened. It was a familiar feeling.

'Is he really the Cult Leader?'

He would know if he checked.

The 'Bright Right Emissary', while looking at Baekji, suddenly threw a palm.

Go-o-o―.

The 'sharp energy' containing 'Heavenly Demon Qi' rushed towards Baekji. Baekji just looked at the 'Bright Right Emissary' who was rushing in, standing as he was.

The 'Bright Right Emissary's' 'Heavenly Demon Qi' hit a wall of 'sharp energy' before it could even reach Baekji.

'Just the achievement of the first stage...'

Although it was just that, it was worth acknowledging that he had learned the difficult 'Heavenly Demon Divine Art' to this extent without the insights of the previous generation.

Although the 'sharp energy' exploded, Baekji did not even flinch.

"Ah... a-a..."

The 'Bright Right Emissary' opened his mouth and dropped both his hands.

He could not believe it. To think that a dead person had come back to life.

"Gyeongseung-ah... didn't I tell you? Your talent is useful, but your greed is ahead of you... you will be disgraced. I told you to control your greed so much..."

Baekji said. He had heard from his father, the Cult Leader, about the character and talent of the leaders of the sect, including the 'Bright Left and Right Emissaries'.

The 'Bright Right Emissary's' knees buckled.

"Cult, Cult Leader!"

Baekji looked down at the 'Bright Right Emissary' indifferently.

Although the 'Bright Right Emissary' had knelt without realizing it, he realized that there was no way for him to live.

The Cult Leader never let a traitor live.

The moment his thoughts reached this point, the 'Bright Right Emissary' exploded the latent power of his entire body.

He poured out his last move, betting everything.

"Ah!"

Although the onlookers shouted in surprise, Baekji just swung one hand as if he were sweeping.

There was not even the sound of 'sharp energy' exploding.

As even his secret move was absurdly scattered, the 'Bright Right Emissary', came to his senses. He bounced his body back ten 'zhang' and then turned his body and fled.

Baekji looked around the arena and, seeing the unconscious 'Bright Left Emissary', said to So Jeong-hu, "Treat the 'Bright Left Emissary' and bring the martial force of the So family and come to the main headquarters."

After finishing his words, Baekji flew his body and chased after the 'Bright Right Emissary'.

Baekji, who had caught up with the 'Bright Right Emissary' in an instant, said, "Gyeongseung-ah. Run... that way you will save your life."

The 'Bright Right Emissary' felt as if his hair were standing on end.

As he ran towards the inner fortress of the main headquarters like crazy, the Cult Leader's voice, which was following behind, did not get farther away.

"Gyeongseung-ah... did you covet my position so much?"

It was as if a ghost were talking to him.

The 'Bright Right Emissary', who had reached the inner fortress of the main headquarters in an instant, jumped over the fortress wall and ran to the Cult Leader's hall.

The warriors who were on guard all lined up, and he shouted without a second thought, "Old ancestor of Hyuk-ryeon! The Cult Leader is alive! The Cult Leader has returned."

A thunderous shout rang through the inner fortress.

The warriors who had lined up were surprised and all looked behind the 'Bright Right Emissary'.

'Du-dung-sil', the figure of a middle-aged man who was floating in the empty air and was slowly flying in was caught in everyone's eyes.

"Cult Leader!"

"We greet the Cult Leader!"

As someone recognized the Cult Leader and shouted, the inner fortress guards all prostrated themselves.

Baekji slowly landed in the square of the inner fortress.

In the meantime, the 'Bright Right Emissary' had entered the Cult Leader's hall.

.

.

.

The 'Bright Right Emissary's' sudden shout echoed to the deep office of the Cult Leader's hall.

Hyuk-ryeon Seung-mu frowned. In front of him, Hyuk-ryeon Gi was sitting.

"What is that sound?"

"It seems to be the voice of the 'Bright Right Emissary'."

Hyuk-ryeon Gi answered calmly.

"The Cult Leader has returned... what is that brat thinking..."

"I will go out and see."

As Hyuk-ryeon Gi stood up, the door of the office opened.

There was no one in the Cult Leader's hall to stop the 'Bright Right Emissary'.

The 'Bright Right Emissary', who had rushed into the office without anyone stopping him, said, panting heavily, "You clearly, clearly... said he had passed away! The Cult Leader is alive."

"Hey, get a hold of yourself. To suddenly appear and to say that the Cult Leader is alive... what does that mean? Didn't you also confirm it?"

"That's... go out and see. The Cult Leader has come."

At that, Hyuk-ryeon Seung-mu, who had realized that things were not going as planned stood up. Hyuk-ryeon Gi's gloomy face became even darker.

"Let's go and see."

As Hyuk-ryeon Seung-mu went out, the 'Bright Right Emissary's' legs gave out, and he collapsed.

"Ugh..."

The 'Bright Right Emissary's' face was pale.

"Now... now what do I do?"

Hyuk-ryeon Gi approached the 'Bright Right Emissary' and then bent his body and said as if he were whispering, "If you die, you will have no worries."

The 'Bright Right Emissary' was surprised by Hyuk-ryeon Gi's words and raised his head, and his nape became hot.

As Hyuk-ryeon Gi cut the 'Bright Right Emissary's' neck with the side of his hand, his head rolled off.

Although blood spewed out from his neck like a fountain, as Hyuk-ryeon Gi exploded his internal energy, it scattered, becoming steam.

Hyuk-ryeon Gi picked up the 'Bright Right Emissary's' head and handed it to Hyuk-ryeon Seung-mu.

"Please buy me some time. I must hurry with the great art."

Hyuk-ryeon Seung-mu, who had been looking as if he had become a stone statue at Hyuk-ryeon Gi's sudden action, came to his senses and nodded his head.

"Isn't the preparation not yet finished?"

Surprisingly, Hyuk-ryeon Seung-mu used honorifics to Hyuk-ryeon Gi. At that, Hyuk-ryeon Gi straightened his waist and naturally spoke informally.

"There are always hurdles. If it had been solved easily, I would have already obtained the world. One day! I just need to buy twelve 'shichen'."

Hyuk-ryeon Gi's figure disappeared.

Hyuk-ryeon Seung-mu looked at the 'Bright Right Emissary's' head in his hand. The 'Bright Right Emissary' still had his eyes wide open, as if he could not believe his own death.

"Don't resent me too much..."

Hyuk-ryeon Seung-mu closed the 'Bright Right Emissary's' eyes and then left the office.

His steps were heavy.

'To think that the Cult Leader is alive...'

He could not believe it.
