Chapter: 864

That was the difference that one level, especially at the peak, made in martial arts.

The influence of a single strong warrior would be able to determine the flow of the war.

The current Lord of Demonic Cult, Chun Yeowun was such a legendary existence.

“Your Majesty!!”

“Kuuuk!”

“Let go of him now!”

Even if the officers cried out, there was no use.

As they were being suppressed by Yeowun’s energy, there was no way for them to save their Emperor.

All they could do was scream while kneeling down.

‘Is this the true power of a Divine master?’

That was when the emperor came to terms with his humiliating reality.

Being in the middle of the Imperial Palace, and in midst of the numerous military officials and commanders, this man was scared of nothing and cornered everyone.

Chun Yeowun, a Divine Master, had all the ability to kill him whenever he wished.

‘I overestimated myself. I was told by the past emperor to never break down the non-aggression treaty.’

The previous emperor had warned him to never try and overpower the people of Wulin.

Although aware of it, the emperor had only regarded Wulin as a group of people, and never took an actual interest in them.

It was only now that he came to realize his fatal mistake.

If this man, Chun Yeowun, put his mind to it, he could have quietly assassinated the emperor in the middle of the night.

‘Wait! Hopefully, his purpose might...’

Suddenly, a strange idea crossed the emperor’s mind.

If a man with such ability was greedy for power, he could have quietly assassinated the emperor rather than creating such a scene in the underground.

‘If he kills me to put Zhu Taikhan on the throne, he will have to shed more blood as he would have to kill the officials who support the other princes.’

It was something that the man in front of him couldn’t have known.

At that moment, the man who had killed the Guardian Escort without showing any mercy was currently suppressing him with his energy, whilst holding him midair.

‘This is a showcase of his overwhelming abilities.’

He showed that he was a monster who couldn’t be controlled.

And it was something the officials in the underground had clearly realized. Chun Yeowun’s goal had been achieved.

‘Lord of the Demonic Cult, this person wants something from me. Then...’

The emperor, convinced of it, was about to open his mouth, but then someone appeared between him and Chun Yeowun.

He was none other than Zhu Taikhan.
