Chapter 12 (Abandoned Disciple of Heavenly Demon)

Episode 12 Vice Sect Leader (1)

Jin Myeong, who arrived at the auxiliary tribune after receiving guidance from Yang Jeon, looked up and said.

“It’s bigger than I thought.”

“Shouldn’t we rather say that it’s small? Still, he’s the strongest person after the leader…….”

The main gate itself was huge, unlike any other in estate.

Soon the gatekeepers who had discovered Jin Myeong and Yang Jeon approached the two.

“I am the youngest disciple of the cult leader, Jin Myeong. I have an appointment to meet with the vice cult leader today.”

“Please wait a moment.”

It was a while before the gatekeeper, who had gone in to check, came out.

“Come in.”

As they entered, a woman who appeared to be a maid was waiting for them.

“I will guide you.”

“Hmm.”

And Jin Myeong, who saw her, became interested in her.

“Why are you doing that?”

“No, just. Because it’s fun?”

Even if he has no ability, he is a disciple of Heavenly Demon. It is true that he’s status is worse than the vice sect leader.

“It seems like everyone who works at the vice sect leader’s office thinks they’ve become a vice sect leader.”

“…….”

Yang Jeon flinched as Jin Myeong’s voice became quiet.

“Why are you being saying something this scary?”

“I was wondering if this is how I was originally treated.”

The gatekeeper who first saw Jin Myeong just glanced at him and didn’t say anything. Rather, a sneer was playing on his lips. And the only person waiting for him was a maid.

“I wonder if other disciples would have come and still be waiting for just one maid.”

“…….”

That’s not likely.

Of course, the vice-religious leader will not personally come out and welcome other disciples.

But, like Jin Myeong, she won’t be waiting for just one maid.

“Wouldn’t it be possible for at least the butler to come out?”

“Probably so.”

“Then what should I do? I don’t have enough skill to throw everything away…….”

If Jin Myeong had only had the skills, if he had the ability to fight the Vice sect leader on his own, then it wouldn’t have gone down like this.

“I can’t help it since I have no strength.”

Jin Myeong don’t have the strength to just let this go, but he will continue to remember this.

“Please wait here.”

Jin Myeong quietly looked at the place the maid had guided her to.

‘It doesn’t look like a living room.’

It was a bit lacking to call it a place to meet the Vice sect leader. He felt like, this was the place to wait until we met.

“But is it okay to say something like that?”

“Something?”

“Isn’t this just you venting your dissatisfaction with the vice sect leader?”

If there is no party involved, it doesn’t matter who you curse at. But the maid who guided the two people must have heard their conversation.

In fact, when Jin Myeong’s voice subsided, the maid who had been guiding us from the front flinched.

“If you get that angry, then you must be of that calibre.”

Jin Myeong sat down on the chair with a sly smile.

“Then shall we wait?”

“…But you don’t ask?”

“What?”

As Jin Myeong poured tea calmly, Yang Jeon, who had been watching him quietly, asked.

“How did you get connected to the vice sect leader and create a place like this, something like that?”

“Yes.”

“I’m thinking about it. Should I ask you or the vice sect leader?”

“Why don’t you just ask me?”

Yang Jeon spoke urgently, sweat dripping from his forehead.

Jin Myeong smiled and shook his head.

“I’m not asking because I can guess the answer. I won’t ask the vice sect leader either, so don’t worry too much.”

After saying those words, Jin Myeong did not open his mouth any further and just sipped his tea.

“Hmm.”

Unlike Jin Myeong, who was drinking tea with a calm expression, Yang Jeon’s face was becoming increasingly hardened.

“Why are you like that? Like a puppy that needs to poop.”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Yang Jeon couldn’t say that it was all because of Jin Myeong. After waiting for quite some time and not hearing any news from the vice sect leader, Yang Jeon could not help but become increasingly anxious.

‘It would be fortunate if this person only had a bad personality…’

If that were the case, he wouldn’t be this anxious.

However, Jin Myeong also acquired unknown abilities.

A few days ago, the masked men broke into Jin Myeong’s bedroom. Haven’t you actually seen their miserable appearance?

‘How on earth did you get so strong?’

Of course, it’s not as strong as the vice sect leader.

But now, Jin Myeong felt like he wouldn’t be pushed around by his disciples.

“I’m sorry about this.”

How much longer did he have to wait like that?

Jin Myeong, think he waited for over an hour (two hours).

The door to the room where the two were waiting opened and a middle-aged man appeared.

“I am Yang Geomun, the commander-in-chief of the Vice-Sect leader’s Hall.”

Jin Myeong quietly looked at Yang Geomun, who revealed himself as the general. Then, he looked at the positive energy and smiled faintly.

“So that’s what happened.”

“What do you mean?”

“Nothing. Is it finally my turn?”

Yang Geomun nodded in response to Jin Myeong’s question.

“That’s right. The vice sect leader is so busy with his work that it turned out like this.”

He is the second-in-command of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

He is probably considered the busiest person in the Heavenly Demon Sect.

There was even a saying that the leader of the Heavenly Demon cult would just play around while the vice sect leader would take care of all the big and small matters.

“Even if you are the leader’s disciple, it is not easy to meet the vice leader like this.”

Besides, meeting the Vice sect leader is never easy.

There are many people who want to meet the Vice sect leader, but only a very small number of people are actually able to meet him.

“So, is that what you mean by glory?”

“That…….”

As Jin Myeong’s voice subsided, Yang Geomun flinched.

“Everyone is weird. It seemed like that earlier too. Hey, General.”

Jin Myeong’s gaze turned to Yang Geomun.

“Are you the Vice sect leader?”

“No, that’s not what I’m saying…….”

“Or, if you are the commander-in-chief of the vice-chairman’s estate, can you ignore me, the sect leader’s disciple?”

“…….”

In terms of status alone, even if he was the commander-in-chief of the Vice-Sect leader, he could not help but be lower than Jin Myeong.

But this wasn’t a place where status determined everything.

“Then, are you going to try to solve it with force?”

Yang Geomun’s back began to become damp with cold sweat.

He never thought he would be pushed back like this by Jin Myeong’s aura, so his confusion doubled.

Yang Geomun tried to shake off Jin Myeong’s oppression, but instead, his body became heavier and heavier.

“Okay, stop it.”

The body of the two men became lighter when Yang Jeon came between them.

Jin Myeong clicked his tongue and looked at the two people.

“Look at this guy, let’s end it here.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Yang Jeon smiled faintly at Jin Myeong’s words.

But a streak of sweat was running down his forehead. It felt like his legs were shaking because he had to take all of the oppression from Jin Myeong heading towards Yang Geomun.

“Then let’s go. Please guide me.”

At Yang Jeon’s words, Yang Geomun nodded with a bewildered expression and began to guide the two people.

“You can come in here.”

The building where the vice sect leader worked was the largest and most splendid building within the estate.

Jin Myeong looked at the pavilion that was comparable to his own residence and then went inside.

“Hmm.”

As he entered, a man sitting on a huge chair glanced at him.

“Yeah. It’s been a while.”

The man put aside what he was looking at and looked at Jin Myeong.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Jin Myeong.”

“We aren’t meeting for time, are we?”

The man’s face hardened at the word “first.”

“Didn’t you hear from the Yang Jeon? That I lost my memory.”

“Hmm. But you said you remember some things. Have you really forgotten everything?”

The man nodded and looked at Jin Myeong.

“This is the vice sect leader, Shin Ho-ryang. It’s not the first time we’ve met, but I should let you know just in case.”

“Thank you.”

“You want to become a cult leader?”

“To be exact, I want to become a person with some significance.”

It doesn’t have to be a small group. Jin Myeong had no desire to become the next leader.

‘The goal is just to protect this place from the main character.’

The goal was to hide well after that until the main character solved everything, and then have fun once everything was over.

‘I know it won’t work anyway….’

In Heavenly Demon Sect, having a voice means having power.

In the end, if you protect the Heavenly Demon Sect from the protagonist, you will have to participate in the next war.

‘That was then….’

In any case, the most important thing right now is to use the power of the vice sect leader to rise to a similar position as the other disciples.

“Helping is not difficult.”

Jin Myeong was also surprised. Because he never thought that someone as high as the vice-chairman would help him so readily.

Rather, he felt like an idiot for worrying about how to persuade the Vice sect leader.

“But I can’t help you for free. What can you give me if I help you?”

“Don’t you know? There’s nothing I can give you.”

“That’s right. There’s no way you’d have anything to give me.”

The fact that he had nothing to offer was also a known fact.

If Jin Myeong had something, he would have used it instead of coming to find me.

“Well, then I can only receive something after you succeed.”

“Yes.”

If the vice sect leader Shin Ho-ryang were on his side, attention would inevitably be drawn to Jin Myeong.

Because it means that he will immediately get ahead of the other disciples.

“There’s something you have to do first, right? Prove to me that you’re worth it.”

In fact, Vice-sect Leader also knows the truth.

That, he’s not worth helping. Unlike his childhood when he was full of talent, he has not even properly learned martial arts.

That’s what everyone would think.

“There was an ambush a while ago, right?”

Before Shin Ho-ryang heard about the ambush.

“Still, I want to see it in person once.”

“How can I prove it?”

“Hmm. Would you like to attack? You happen to be holding a sword.”

The Sect-leader pointed to the wooden barrel hanging from Jin Myeong’s shoulder.

“Don’t attack recklessly, but do your best.”

“All right.”

Jin Myeong also plans to give it his all. He thought, ‘if he could die from my attacks, he won’t be able to be in the position of vice-chairman.’

Jin Myeong should have give his best to get Vice-sect Leader’s attention.

Woohoo!

Soon, five swords rose into the air from the wooden barrel hanging on Jin Myeong’s shoulders.

“Huh?”

Shin Ho-ryang’s eyes lit up with interest as he watched the five swords floating around Jin Myeong.

“I’m going.”

At the same time, Jin Myeong’s sword was shot towards the Vice-Sect leader.

Bang!

Shin Ho-ryang blocked the attack with a wave of his hand.

“It’s pretty good, but that’s it.”

Then, he clicked his tongue at the sight of the sword flying straight ahead. The power contained in the sword was considerable, but it was monotonous because it was just flying straight at him rather than using swordsmanship.

Hurrruk!

The Shin Ho-ryang’s eyes sparkled as the sword he was about to strike was engulfed in pure white flames.

Bang!

Once again, the Shin Ho-ryang’s hand and Jin Myeong’s sword collided, and Jin Myeong’s sword was thrown back like the first sword.

“Hmm.”

But the Shin Ho-ryang’s expression was different from before. He looked at his hands, which were shaking slightly.

A small wound appeared and was bleeding.

“Haha. This is fun. This isn’t the end, right?”

“Of course. You’d better watch your back.”

“Ha!”

The Shin Ho-ryang immediately turned his body and drew his sword, striking the sword flying from behind.

Shhh!

However, the remaining four swords did not miss the gap where the Shin Ho-ryang’s eyes were turned backwards and shot at the Shin Ho-ryang.

T.L.

Damn MTLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
