Chapter: 491

The Lord even was drenched in sweat when he heard a telepathic message in his ears.

[Will you die at the hands of the betrayer? Will you truly let six clans to live who let your mother and loving wife die?]

The Lord’s eyes shook at the familiar voice. Chun Yeowun was coming closer. The ominous demonic energy coming out of Yeowun made it feel as if a giant Black Dragon was coming nearer.

“Aaaaargh...”

[Use the Blood God’s Reversion Art. Use it to defeat your enemy, and kill remaining three leaders from three clans and bring order back to the cult!]

‘Blood God’s Reversion Art? ...Blood God...’

The Lord then dropped the sword to the ground. He became confused at the telepathic message that urged him to use Blood God’s Reversion Art and swayed.

‘Blood God’s Reversion...’

And in that short moment, many glimpses of the past shot through his mind.

Chun Yujong was born from the adopted daughter of the former Sword clan leader, Kingbonkang. Kingbonkang had a daughter, but she couldn’t give birth to a child between her marriage with Great High Lord Chun Inji. Kingbonkang then adopted a daughter to have prince in his clan. But it was not long after adopted daughter Kinghawen was pregnant that Kingbonkang’s real daughter Kingyuyun was pregnant.

‘Both are my sons, so I should give equal opportunity to both of them.’

Chun Inji recognized Chun Yujong and Chun Yujing as a formal prince. But even through that, life wasn’t easy. Kingyuyun began to treat Kinghawen poorly, and so did other wives from other six clans. And although no one knew if that played a role, Kinghawen died before Chun Yujong could even remember.

‘Don’t call me mother. Call me Lady King.’

‘...Yes, Lady King.’

Chun Yujong was also discriminated against as he grew up. He was talented in martial art, but he wasn’t a true descendant from the Sword clan, so he wasn’t welcome.

‘You have to help so that Yujing can become the next Lord. Remember this.’

‘Yes, Elder.’

Kingbonkang assured this multiple times until they entered Demonic Academy. Chun Yujong believed that was his true purpose so he didn’t think it was strange.

‘Brother, did you get scolded by mother again? Ugh... if I become Crown Prince, I’ll make sure that no one will be rude to you.’

‘...Thanks.’

‘You know how much I love you, right?’

At least Chun Yujong was happy as his brother Chun Yujing was very close to him. But everything changed when they entered the Demonic Academy. It was okay for the first few weeks, but soon, princes from the other five clans began to treat Chun Yujong badly.

‘You dare to think you are the same as us?’

‘You are lucky to be born in six clans. Just serve your master.’

Chun Yujong became exhausted as he was discriminated. He still thought everything would get better if his little brother Chun Yujing became the Crown Prince and tried his best to help. But Chun Yujong was still too powerful. His talent was something that just could not be ignored. In less than three years, Chun Yujong had passed the fifth test in the Academy.

‘Yujing...’

‘Don’t even call my name.’

Chun Yujing also became cold. Just like other princes, he too began to grow wary of his own brother. Chun Yujong was not a fool however. He knew that his talent was the reason people became wary of him, so he stopped training from that day on and hid from others.

Even when the other princes, after passing the fifth test, began gathering people for approval, he did not seek any more approvals. But there was one who wanted to join Chun Yujong.

‘I am Yi Burwi from the Buju Sword clan. Please take me in. I will make you a Crown Prince.’
