Chapter: 863

As promised, with just one step, his throat would be cut.

“Ah! No!”

Flustered, he turned around and tried to move back, but Marakim’s sword was too fast.

As the cold sword touched his neck, his face, which showed only fear, broke out in cold sweat.

Phak!

“Kuak!”

The attack that collided with his sword made Yeongjo fall heavily to the floor.

He’d been warned, but he hadn’t been killed. Marakim had knocked him down with his sword.

‘To act like the Lord is hard.’

No matter how horrible the situation was, the opponent was a high-ranked military officer of the Imperial family.

It was difficult to kill such people as Chun Yeowun had done.

Furthermore, without the Lord’s order, they couldn’t kill anyone.

In other words, only Yeowun got to decide who got killed.

‘Huh, what a mess. What is going on?’

It was embarrassing for the Emperor’s disciples, but even Cheong-su, a long-standing member of the alliance, looked at Chun Yeowun and the emperor with a perplexed expression.

From the point of view of one of the Forces of Justice’s leaders, who had a close relationship with the Emperor, he had to intervene and stop him.

If the emperor died, the current stable relationship between Wulin and the Empire would collapse.

But even more confusing were the words that Chun Yeowun had spoken a moment before.

‘He is going to make the second prince the new emperor? Then, did the prince join hands with the Demonic Cult?’

Yulin was the one that had maintained a closer relationship with the emperor and the crown prince, who was supposed to inherit the throne, in order to continue Yulin’s ties with the Imperial family.

Yulin had been convinced that it was the eldest son, Zhu Taiyoon, who would inherit the throne, and they had supported him with everything.

However, this time, the plan had gone wrong because of the crown prince’s attempt to join hands with the Blade God Six Martial clan.

‘This can’t go on. If that happens, the balance of Yulin and the Imperial family which we tried to maintain until now will be disrupted.’

It was something they were aware of.

Cheong-su had to prevent the worst from happening, but the problem was that he could do nothing on his own.

‘For me to feel so powerless.’

It would take ten Superior Master warriors to take down one Supreme Master.

But the opponent was a Divine Master.

The seventeen leaders of the Forces of Justice, would they even be able to take down this monster, even if all of them joined hands?

‘He is an army on his own.’
