Chapter: 300

‘Oh, so that’s why there were counter sword skills!’

So, tracings were left by Sword Demon to train himself so he can fight against the Blade God. But what’s still a mystery was that all sword movements that made up of counter sword skill was comprised of ordinary sword movements, which was not understandable just by listening to Lee Hameng’s story.

“Sword Demon’s guess was accurate.”

After exactly four years, Blade God had appeared at the Demonic Cult.

“So, he killed Chung Ming too.”

“Yes. The Sword Demon was the last in line.”

Blade God, who now wielded the title of the top warrior of Wulin, had come straight to the castle of Demonic Cult and challenged Sword Demon. And the result was a tie, as known to everyone.

“It was a tie, but the Sword Demon had suffered great consequences. He had lost his right arm.”

“What happened to the Blade God after that?”

“After fighting against Sword Demon for three days and nights, he had disappeared and never returned.”

Blade God’s appearance was over after that. There were rumors revolving around whereabout and what he had become after that, but there was only one thing that was certain. Blade God was the only one who had earned the top seat with the blade.

“The cult changed after that.”

Sword Demon, with losing his right arm, walked down from the seat of Vice Chief. And with that, Chun Muha, now sixteen years old daughter of former Lord had become a new Lord. It was the first female Lord, and leaders of the cult took its chance and spoke to change the long ritual, as they will not be able to have successor through the old Demon Lady system.

Chun Muha, who did not have much power as she was still just a young girl, couldn’t object the elders. So, the ritual that continued for 300 years was finally disposed and brought the new clan system. Chun Muha took a total of five husbands, with two being apprentices of Sword Demon who later founded Wise clan and Sword clan. Other three were apprentices of first to three elders, each from current Blade, Poison and Lust clan.

“Sword Demon, after retiring from his Vice Chief position had created the Demonic Academy to train future warriors.”

The place where the Sword Demon chose to create the academy was the place where the prison cave and the Demon Seal Cave, where Chun Ma’s truth was hidden. Why did the Sword Demon choose this place above all other places? Lee Hameng, after finishing every story looked at Yeowun straight into his eyes.

“Do you know why I have told you this story?”

Yeowun have thought about for a second and asked.

“...Are you trying to say Sword Demon’s purpose for creating the Demonic Academy here wasn’t just to train future warriors?”

Lee Hameng smiled, proving that Yeowun’s answer was correct.

“Yes. He had two purpose. One of it was to find the real successor who will succeed the truths that Father Chun Ma had found through his swords.”

“If that was the reason, why did he created the academy here?”

Yeowun didn’t seem to understand the reason and Hameng continued to explain.

“When Sword Demon retired, elders now took control of the cult.”

Sword Demon had to be Vice Chief against his will, but he was still a loyal cultist. He couldn’t succeed the Sword Force of the Sky Demon fully, but he believed that there will be a future member of the Chun family who will truly succeed the secret left behind Father Chun Ma. Sword Demon then believed he had to protect the prison cave and the Demon Seal Cave and created the Academy so that no clans could think to have their hands on.

“Sword Demon had left works to guardians before his death.”

It was to tell Guardians, who knew all the truth, to take turns to be chief of the Academy and when they find someone who succeeds the truth of Father Chun Ma, to help him to become the Lord. Sword Demon’s hope had not come to true for 500 years and it was now only an old legend that stayed within the guardians.

“And while I stood beside the Lord, I have seen his Sword Art of the Sky Demon countless times within the battlefield. Do you think I will not recognize the sword skill you used?”

“...”

When Lee Hameng first saw the Sword Force of the Sky Demon that Yeowun had used against Hou Jinchang, he was so shocked. It was sword formation more accurate and powerful than the current Sword Art of the Sky Demon. He thought maybe this was the true finding of the truth of the sword left by Father Chun Ma, that Sword Demon had spoken of. But he couldn’t reveal all this to Chun Yeowun yet, as he couldn’t be sure yet. There was a possibility that Yeowun was just taught by Chun Yujong, the current Lord.
