Chapter- 31 (Abandoned Disciple of Heavenly Demon)

---

Episode 31: Breakthrough (4)

The one who appeared was Kunlun Sect’s Cloud Dragon Sword, Sage Heo Woon.

“You’re here.”

Gok Jeon’s expression brightened when he saw him. Although it wasn’t as good as Gok Yang, he was very happy to see Sage Heo Yun appear.

“Persecuting by many. Isn’t it the Orthodoxy that does this best?”

At Jin Myeong’s words, Sage Heo Woon frowned.

“It seems like you can’t tell when to interfere and when not to.”

“The youngest is right. The place where many people persecute each other the best is the Orthodox Alliance.”

“Gibberish.”

Sage Heo Woon, who had been scolding Jin Myeong, suddenly dismissed the words of Mok Ja-gyeong who had interrupted.

“It’s not nonsense. We’re barely thirty years old, and Kunlun and Gongdong have moved. If this isn’t persecution, what is it?”

“That’s because you killed Kunlun’s disciples first.”

“Isn’t that what you wanted?”

“No one wants the disciples who are responsible for the future of the sect to die.”

Jin Myeong felt that Sage Heo Woon’s words were extremely hypocritical.

“So, there is a reason.”

However, Jin Myeong still felt that Kunlun had made up that excuse.

“But isn’t that too much?”

Moving to the common area felt like too much. Two of the Nine Sect were moved to capture them, who were barely thirty years old.

“Haha. You might run away. If you commit a crime, you should be punished.”

“Hmm. Is it a crime for two people with swords to kill each other?”

“Tsk. You’re just nitpicking and rambling, but we’re not communicating.”

Sage Heo Woon felt that the conversation with Jin Myeong was not very beneficial.

“Are you really that skilled in the art to be called Sage? You can control your anger while talking to your disciple.”

Rather, Mok Ja-gyeong was amazed at such a false Sage.

“I have a more curious question. Can you answer just one? What do you gain by doing this?”

“No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out the real reason behind all this.”

“I can avenge the disciple who died unjustly…….”

“No. Let me ask you again. How can you be sure that there will be no war?”

“This is what I don’t understand.”

There was a hint of hesitation from the two partners. There was hesitation because of the thought that war might break out. But there was nothing like that for Sage Heo Woon.

“It’s as if someone told you.”

Jin Myeong thought that that someone was Mok Ja-gyeong.

“Tsk. Not worth listening to.”

Sage Heo Woon shook his head and shut his mouth tightly as if he would not continue the conversation.

Then he looked at Jin Myeong, Shin Ye-hyang, and Mok Ja-gyeong.

‘The daughter of a Mad Demon is a burden…’

Sage Heo Woon thought that Mok Ja-gyeong had to be killed, but Shin Ye-hyang, she should not be killed.

While Mok Ja-gyeong was just one of Heavenly Demon’s disciples, Shin Ye-hyang was the only daughter cherished by Mad Demon, The Vice-Sect Leader.

“Sage, we have to kill that guy.”

“What does that mean?”

Sage Heo Woon saw Jin Myeong being pointed by Gok Jeon.

‘I knew that there was another disciple of Heavenly Demon Sect besides Mok Ja-gyeong and Shin Ye-hyang, but I didn’t pay much attention to him.’

“That guy is dangerous.”

“What on earth are you talking about?”

Sage Heo Woon did not understand Gok Jeon’s words. Of course, it’s not that he didn’t know about Jin Myeong.

The youngest disciple of Heavenly Demon, who is said to be incompetent. Although he had recently come into the spotlight, Sage Heo doesn’t think he is that threatening.

‘Isn’t now the perfect opportunity to kill Mok Ja-gyeong?

“There is a Laughing Blood Demon right in front of my eyes…….”

Mok Ja-gyeong will definitely become Heavenly Demon’s successor and ascend to the position of sect leader.

Even now, he is stronger than the Fifteen Divine Dragons of the Justice Alliance, and there is no telling how much stronger he will become once he learns the Heavenly Demonic Art.

“Gok Yang judged that that guy to be more dangerous than Laughing Blood Demon.”

Sage Heo Woon opened his eyes wide. Because he didn’t think Jin Myeong was that great of a being.

The fame of Gok Yang, or rather its notoriety, was all the more surprising because it was known.

‘Senior Gok Yang said that he should have belonged to the Unorthodox Alliance, not the Orthodox… ‘

A person who is quick-witted and uses it well is a Gok Yang. He is a person who can achieve his goals without hesitation, even if it goes against moral principles.

‘Did he think this Youngest Disciple was more dangerous than the Laughing Blood Demon?’

‘I ignored it because I had not directly seen the truth with my own eyes. Of course it was a little unusual…..’

‘Unlike others, I didn’t feel like he had mastered internal energy, yet.’

‘That’s why I thought his achievements were minimal, or that he had learned some unusual martial arts.’

‘If I could kill just one of them… … .’

He couldn’t kill Shin Ye-hyang, but he definitely planned to kill Mok Ja-kyung.

‘But now I am worried because of Heavenly Demon’s youngest disciple. Then wouldn’t it be okay to kill them both?’

‘Although it is a shame that one of the co-op twins is missing, Gok Jeon is an excellent master.’

Sage Heo Woon thought that if he joined forces with him, he could kill both Jin Myeong and Mok Ja-gyeong.

“Can you help me?”

“Their power is unexpectedly strong.”

Gok Jeon could not agree with Sage Heo Woonin’s thoughts.

“Can you kill the Laughing Blood Demon and join me here?”

“Hmm? Shouldn’t it be the opposite?”

Sage Heo Woon asked back.

Although the Mok Ja-gyeong surpassed the level of the later generation, it was not as strong as the True Sage called Kunlun Sword.

The problem is that even the False Sage cannot cut off Mok Ja-gyeong’s head in one go.

“Those two guys are quite skilled in martial arts, but their combined attack is tricky.”

Although it wasn’t as good as the Gongdong Twins, the synergy between Jin Myeong and Shin Ye-hyang was better than expected.

Of course, this is possible because Jin Myeong did not move his body himself, but only moved his sword, while watched from behind.

If Jin Myeong had actually moved, he would have clashed with Shin Ye-hyang several times.

“Where on earth did Senior Gok Yang go?”

Sage Heo Woon, who realized that the current situation was more unfavourable than he thought, became curious as to why Gok Yang was not visible.

“…….”

The story couldn’t be told straight away. It was extremely embarrassing to tell Sage that he had been ripped off by these young martial art.

“Let’s do it anyway.”

Sage Heo Woon also noticed that something had happened to Gok Yang. When he asked about Gok Yang, anger was visible in Gok Jeon’s eyes.

“It’s good to talk to each other like that…….”

The voice of Mok Ja-gyeong was heard by the two people who were about to rush in at any moment.

“Who said we would fight?”

“Are you thinking of running away?”

“There is no need to fight.”

Mok Ja-gyeong smiled and turned around. The reason he sent his men elsewhere and came here alone. Because he thought he could somehow escape if he was alone.

“In reality, people started to gather together to persecute him.”

Suddenly, the sound of many people running from afar could be heard. Disciples of the Kunlun and Gongdong sects, who had been far away, are running towards this place.

“As expected, the youngest’s words were not wrong.”

Sage Heo Woon bit his lip as he watched Mok Ja-gyeong mocking them for attacking with so many people again.

“What does it mean?”

But unlike the embarrassed Sage Heo Woon, Gok Jeon didn’t seem to feel any shame at all.

“As expected, the joint twins should be in Unorthodox or the Demon Sect.”

Mok Ja-gyeong flew away before Gok Jeon could get angry.

“We must chase after them!”

Seeing the fleeing Mok Ja-gyeong, Sage Heo Woon shouted urgently.

“Let’s go too.”

Jin Myeong spoke to Shin Ye-hyang as he watched the two hesitate.

“This!”

When Jin Myeong and Shin Ye-hyang tried to move, Gok Jeon, who had not reacted when Mok Ja-gyeong moved, reacted.

He flew towards Jin Myeong without hesitation.

Visor!

But before he knew it, a sword covered in white flames flew towards him.

“Ugh!”

“Are you okay?”

Sage Heo Woon looked surprised as he saw Gok Jeon being pushed back, even though he had blocked the sword.

“Is this the Flying sword?”

“It’s not enough to call it a Flying Sword, but it’s more than enough to attack.”

A sword that had suddenly flown in and attacked the Gok Jeon had returned to Jin Myeong.

“What should I do? In the end, I have to catch one of the two.”

Gok Jeon still wanted to catch Jin Myeong. Because he had to take revenge on Gok Yang. But unlike Gok Jeon, Sage Heo Woon wanted to catch Mok Ja-gyeong.

‘If we split here, we might lose both.’

“You have to choose before it’s too late.”

Gok Jeon urged the hesitant Sage Heo Woon.

“Okay.”

In the end, Sage Heo Woon chose Jin Myeong over Mok Ja-gyeong.

“You chose well.”

Gok Jeon nodded as if he was satisfied and headed straight to where Jin Myeong had moved.

“Tsk. Is this it?”

Jin Myeong clicked his tongue as he watched Gok Jeon and Sage Heo Woonin chasing after him.

‘I think I can deal with one person somehow.’

‘If there’s only one person in the group, they can win.’

But if even the Sage came, it was bound to be difficult.

“Can you speed things up a little bit?”

“I’m sorry, but right now is the fastest time we’re moving.”

Shin Ye-hyang urged Jin Myeong to get closer and closer to Sage Heo Woon, but Jin Myeong couldn’t get any faster.

‘Then we have to kill their speed.’

Jin Myeong immediately sent two swords moving around him towards Sage Heo Woonin and Gok Jeon.

Bang!

Sage Heo Woon flinched as he suddenly parried the flying sword.

‘Hmm. I simply slashed away a flying sword, but my hand went numb.’

‘Is this why he is said it is more powerful than Void Grasping Sword?’

‘The power contained in it is so great that if you let your guard down even for a moment, you could drop the sword.’

Although Sage Heo Woon had only been attacked by Jin Myeong once, he could see why Gok Yang was wary about him.

“I think I definitely have to kill him.”

Sage Heo Woon agreed with Gok Yang’s decision.

Even though Jin Myeong’s martial arts skills are still incomplete. If this martial art is completed, Jin Myeong could become more fearsome than Mok Ja-gyeong.

“Let’s go.”

Sage Heo Woon swung his sword with a blue aura and began to strike Jin Myeong’s sword.

“Are you okay?”

“…It seems harder than I thought.”

Sage Heo Woon answered honestly. His arms were shaking as he continued to take Jin Myeong’s attacks.

“Sometimes I find the Heavenly Demon Sect to be amazing.”

Sage Heo Woon remembered the first time he saw Heavenly Demon.

Even at that time, Sage Heo Woon was a master known as the Sword of Kunlun. But when he first saw the Heavenly Demon that wasn’t even a contact, he couldn’t help but feel despair.

‘So, I thought I had to kill that Laughing Blood Demon somehow.’

Although the Laughing Blood Demon was not as strong as the Heavenly Demon at that time, it was rude to compare it to the Fifteen New Dragons of the Orthodox Alliance.

In the end, the Fifteenth Divine Dragon could not help but feel the same emotions that Sage Heo Woon had felt when looking at the Heavenly Demon then looking at the Laughing Blood Demon.

“It’s hard enough to even tackle Laughing Blood Demon, but then a guy like him shows up.”

Sage Heo Woon thought that if he did not kill Hyeol So-ma, it would be difficult for the Orthodox Alliance to surpass the Heavenly Demon Sect.

In the midst of all this, a new young demon named Jin Myeong appeared.

“Why do new masters like that only appear in the Demonic Sect?”

It would be a lie to say that Sage Heo Woon isn’t jealous.

“Don’t worry too much. Even though the Fifteen Divine Dragons are weaker now, they will eventually surpass them.”

There is a common saying. Although Demons can become powerful quickly at first, but their limits are clear.

It is said that Righteous Training is very slow to gain strength at first, but eventually overcomes his limits.

“Is that true?”

“…….”

“Do you believe that to be true, sir?”

Even though he had spoken directly, Gok Jeon could not easily answer Sage Heo Woon’s question.

Everyone used to think that way.

In reality, the best people in the world have always been mostly the unarmed people of the Orthodox Alliance.

But that story is from a very long time ago.

Since when did the position of the best in the world become that of the Heavenly Demon?

No matter how much time passes and how many Heavenly Demon change, it does not change.

“The most important thing right now is to kill that guy.”

Gok Jeon and Sage Heo Woon continued to approach Jin Myeong while blocking Jin Myeong’s swords flying from in front.
