Chapter: 1252

‘He is a true Cultist.’

He felt the same respect after meeting Ran-yeong, the great woman who sacrificed herself in the Royal Shrine for many years.

If only the heads of the six clans within the cult had acted like them, the Demonic Cult wouldn’t have suffered.

As the emotions subsided, the trembling of his heart stopped as well.

Chun Yeowun asked with worry.

“Grandfather. You said your memory isn’t perfect. Would you like to talk after you rest a little more?”

To that, Chun Inji shook his head and answered.

“... No. I have had enough sleep.”

He smiled widely and looked at the sword, which had transformed back into a wrist guard, and his expression changed into a serious one.

“Yeowun-ah, the fact that you obtained the Sky Demon Sword... and that you obtained the cores before they fell into the hands of the Blade God Six Martial clan might be the guidance of Chun Ma.”

“Guidance...”

Suddenly, Chun Yeowun remembered the illusion he saw when he held the Sky Demon Sword for the first time.

At that time, a man who was supposed to be Chun Ma had spoken.

[It will take a long time. I don’t think it will happen in my lifetime.]

Why did those words come to his mind?

“Maybe it’s just the thought of the people who stay in the Cult. Heheh, but one thing is for sure, it seems like something bad is going to come. This could be fate. Now is the time for everything to be revealed. Ahm.”

Chun Inji, who nodded at his words, started recalling stuff.

“According to what you said, as time passed, it must have been around 25 years ago.”

Chun Inji, who was the Lord of that time, had a great reputation.

During the reign of Chun Inji, the Demonic Cult was expanding its territory to the west, the domain of the Forces of Evil.

And the Forces of Evil was led by one of the five strongest warriors, King Hang Yen, who had defeated the former head Ok-hyun.

Even though he was called a ferocious monarch, he was unable to defeat the army of the Demonic Cult, which was led by Chun Inji, and he ended up getting pushed back.

“It was a time when we continued into the west. Even after having a few victories, there seemed to be a lot of dissatisfaction among the six clans.”

“... I remember. At that time, everyone seemed puzzled at the order to subjugate the west, despite us having the power and number to take over the Yulin faction which was in the north.”

Marakim also added to Chun Inji’s words, as he remembered those days.

At that, Chun Inji seemed upset.

“I can say it out loud now, but at that time, I didn’t see another choice. This old man had made an oath to him.”

“Oath?”

“... with Saint Gu-jung, the former leader of the Shaolin Temple.”

Seventy years ago, Chun Inji had passed the six tests of the Academy.
