Chapter: 360

Return of the Lord. Everyone heard what the 11th Elder Huan Yi spoke while ago. He said that Lord was on his way back and was probably five days away. Yeowun needed to move to achieve the goal. He needed two more approvals.

‘I was able to get rid of Lady Mu from Wise clan since Lord and elders from six clans were missing. But when they return, the fight will only get harder.’

If they return, it was apparent that they will do everything in their power to press on Chun Yeowun. He needed to be ready for anything before that. There was Mun Yun, 8th elder and grandfather of Mun Ku, but there was no way to ask if he will approve Yeowun as the heir, so he needed to prepare for the alternative.

‘I need to contact two others.’

Within current four elders who were left behind, Baek Oh was killed by Chun Yeowun and Huan Yi already have approved Yeowun and swore an oath to serve Yeowun as his master. Yeowun then needed two other elders’ approval.

“At least we can persuade 9th elder easily.”

“Yes, I think so too.”

Hu Bong spoke and Ko Wanghur nodded agreeingly. They had Sama Chak within their group, so it was likely that his father, Sama Yi the 9th elder will approve Yeowun.

“Will you go visit 9th elder first then?”

“No. We’ll meet him once Sama Chak is healed.”

Sama Chak was meditating to heal his internal energy, together with Bakgi at another room.

“Then our destination is set.”

“We’ll go to Demonspread Sword Clan.”

Next destination was set to Demonspread Sword clan, to meet the leader Yin Moha. Along with the 4th leader Hang Soyu, she too was a woman who were an elder. Only thing that was concerning was that she was known to have certain connection with the Sword and Wise clan. It wasn’t sure what effect that might have.

Before coming out of the Demonic Academy, Yeowun was briefed of information about various clans through Left Guardian Lee Hameng, especially of those from 12th elders. It was information that Lord’s palace gathered and kept. Lee Hameng also talked about 10th elder Yin Moha.

‘There are two elders who even the Lord himself consider them difficult to deal with, due to their characteristics. One of them is 10th elder Yin Moha.’

Another was Huan Yi, the leader of Ghost Illusion clan. Yin Moha’s Demonspread Sword clan claimed itself as a clan but there was no warrior aside from the leader herself. There was only the minimum number of staff in her mansion to keep it maintained. What was more weird was that unless there was a direct order from the Lord, or there is an elder meeting, she never came out of her mansion.

‘Elder Yin is known to stay within her home and never meet anyone. She even hates visitors from what I’ve heard. But it is known that she meets the leader of Sword and Wise clan once every few years for an unknown reason.’

‘Huh? Meet them?’

‘Yes. They always meet on a mountain peak outside the castle, where there is no one. We wanted to send someone to spy on them, but there is no one who can sneak behind the three elders.’

It was impossible to spy on supreme level warrior. Three people meeting definitely looked suspicious but she never made any other movement besides that, so the Lord even stopped having eyes on her after 7 years.

‘That is weird.’

‘She is stubborn and hard to persuade, so I wouldn’t recommend. But if you do get her to join you, she will be of great help.’

‘Is there any special reason for that?’

‘...Her power... exceeds mine.’

And when he said that, Lee Hameng seem to be uncomfortable to acknowledge there was someone stronger than him.

‘She’s more powerful than you?’

She had no forces or achievement that followed, making her lower rank elder but her power equaled to that of leaders from six clans. It was known that Hang Soyu, leader of the Lust clan, always avoided meeting eyes with Yin Moha every time there was an elder meeting. Lord’s palace found out that two elders dueled unofficially and Hang Soyu lost miserably on that. This meant that Yin Moha was a top female warrior within the cult.

‘Aside from her weird personality, she is certainly powerful. But to have her join... it would be faster to persuade the other elders.’

Lee Hameng didn’t like the idea of going to her, but Yeowun decided to receive approval from her anyway. As he thought about what he heard as he walked, the group was already at the mansion of the Demonspread Sword clan. The mansion was bit southeast to the Demonic Academy.
