Chapter: 390

“Here comes the Lord!”

And the man with black clothes with golden dragon embroider entered, and everyone got up and fell to their one knee.

“Glory to the Demonic Cult!”

First Elder shouted and continued.

“We, mere cultists, are honored to see the Lord of the Demonic Cult!”

“We are honored!”

With entering of Chun Yujong, the air turned instantly. Chun Yujong raised his hand after he sat down on the throne and the man with a strange mask, Great Guardian Marakim shouted.

“You may seat.”

“Glory to the Demonic Cult!”

All the people shouted again and sat down on their chairs. With 7th elder, missing, Yeowun sat down on the 11th elder’s seat and turned to Chun Yujong. His sharp eyes looked like that of Yeowun, but the atmosphere was different. Chun Yujong looked as if he arrogantly looked down upon everything. He was like an Emperor overall here. But there was one thing that he couldn’t hide.

‘...He’s breathing is not well.’

It was close, so Yeowun was able to tell that the Lord’s breathing was very slightly unstable. It was sure that he had taken internal damage. But he looked well, so it was probably less severe than other elders.

‘The Lord and elders all were injured?’

Lord and elders meant that they were enough to wipe out most forces. Then what was the purpose of their secret trip? Yeowun then turned to the man standing on the right side of the Lord.

‘Teacher... what happened?’

The one who stood right on the Lord, was Right Guardian Submeng. He looked pale and had covered his right eye with linen wrap, and looked in bad shape. But unlike Yeowun who was concerned, Submeng who found him, turned his eye large.

‘What? H-how!’

Submeng’s pale face brightened up. It felt like all the hardship he had gone through on the recent trip had melted down when he saw his only apprentice at this place. Submeng grinned and Yeowun also smiled. The teacher and apprentice had finally met at such an important place.

‘Haha. I guess I can’t call you a kid anymore.’

Submeng was touched. And from what he can see, it was sure that Yeowun had grown much stronger than himself now.

Chun Yeowun, who was looking at Submeng, then turned to the Lord at the sharp energy coming through. Chun Yujong, who was not looking at him until moments ago, was now looking straight into him.

‘His eye is like a sword.’

It was the first time he had felt such threatening aura. The Lord didn’t mention, but it was sure that he too was surprised to find Chun Yeowun here.

“My Lord.”

Marakim spoke, and Chun Yujong raised his hand, signaling of approval. Marakim then shouted at the people.

“We will start the Grand Meeting.”

With the start, Marakim called out the 9th elder. Sama Yi then got up.

“9th Elder, you may report what happened in the Cult while the Lord was out.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Sama Yi, was the highest-ranking elder while others were gone, so he had to report first on what happened until now. Sama Yi then explained everything that happened. This procedure wasn’t actually necessary, but this was done to show the authority of the Lord. It was done so that clan leaders can see the Lord solving the issue that was still revolving around and have them feel the authority of the Lord. But Sama Yi’s report actually worked against it this time. After briefing through financial and structural issues, Sama Yi reported of recent incidents.
