Chapter 229 - Walking into the trap (2)

AT the time, Sword clan had two princes. One was Chun Yujong and another was Chun Yujing from different mother. Chun Yujong did not kill a brother from his same clan but had cut his arm off so that he will not have any competition. The evaluation of Chun Yujong came to be very aggressive and hostile.

“Everyone thought Great High Lord will make Chun Yuay from Loyal clan as the Crown Prince, but he suddenly made Chun Yujong as the Lord, so it was very surprising at the time.”

It seemed there was something more that went on at the background, but Great Guardian or Yin Moha did not know the details. Whatever the case, the Great High Lord taught Sword Force of the Sky Demon to Great Guardian, instead of the Lord. Marakim refused at first, but he had to listen to the order.

“The Lord told me that if he does not return in 10 years, then a great danger might come to the Demonic Cult.”

Marakim asked multiple times on what was going on, but Great High Lord did not answer. And next day, he was gone from the cult. Marakim took up the order and had kept it as a secret until today. And as Yeowun heard this, he realized that Marakim considered former Lord, Chun Inji as his master rather than Lord Chun Yujong.

“As I was ordered, I waited him for 10 years.”

He waited for Great High Lord’s safe return. But Chun Inji never returned to the Demonic Cult. When he did not return, Marakim began to proceed with the order and learned martial arts of Sword Demon for two years and called elders of three clans and tried to teach time.

“Ah… so, that’s why you made us gather at this peak.”

“Yes. What happened next… is you two probably knows.”

Yin Moha raised her eyebrows. However, the bitterness between three clans was very deep so Marakim couldn’t teach the martial art to all three of them.

“I couldn’t let those scumbags succeed the mighty Sword Demon.”

Marakim then aimed on that bitterness. As a guardian, he had been chief of the Demonic Academy multiple times and was good at teaching, so Marakim offered them a condition where they can develop True Demon Sword to a better one. And on the other hand, he trained hard to create the energy flow for Sword Force of the Sky Demon but it wasn’t easy.

“I had spent 8 years to create the energy flow for the Sword Force of the Sky Demon… but all I can do was to replicate it by using Air Sword technique.”

Sword Force of the Sky Demon was a legendary sword skill that was created by legendary warrior Chun Ma with all of his understandings and findings. That was already enough achievement on what Marakim did. When Marakim finished, Yeowun was able to understand answer to all of his questions.

“So, everything was done by Great High Lord. Do you think he knew the existence of Blade God Six Martial clan?”

“I think so.”

Yeowun asked and Marakim nodded in agreeance. Until Blade God Six Martial clan appeared, Marakim wasn’t sure what danger might come to the Demonic Cult. But after fighting against them, he was able to confirm that they were the danger that Chun Inji spoke. He also suspected that Blade God Six Martial clan might have connection with Chun Inji’s disapperanace.

“Ah.”

Yin Moha then suddenly came up with another question.

“Great Guardian. Why did you pull the promised date?”

Marakim then became serious and turned to Chun Yeowun instead and spoke.

“That is…”

AT the same time at Lord’s palace. It was time where all lights should have been gone off, but the Lord’s office was still brightly lit. Inside, Chun Yujong was listening to someone reporting to him. It was a middle aged man with black cover on his left eye.

“We lost track of the Great Guardian after he went outside to the Western gate. We are still searching the area, but our palace guards’ number aren’t enough.

There were hundreds of peaks outside the west of the Demonic Cult’s castle. Just hundreds of warriors weren’t enough to search through all those mountains.

“And about other two?”

“I have received message from the one who watch over Ghost Illusion clan, and Crown Prince have not returned yet. And it is same with Elder Yin Moha from Demonspread Sword clan.”

Surprisingly, the man had been watching Yeowun and Yin Moha too. The Lord was becoming more uncomfortable when he heard neither Yeowun or Yin Moha returned. Someone then told the Lord.

“So, it came down to this again.”

It was another middle aged man standing by the wall at the corner of the office. What’s interesting was that he didn’t seem to have right arm. The man walked slowly over to the Lord’s desk and spoke as he shook his head.

“I told you, that he is not the card we can use anymore. Wasn’t it your motto to consider a card as a card?”

“…What are you saying?”

“We should get rid of it before it becomes out of control.”

Man spoke and the Lord’s eyebrow raised. His face was full of frustration.

“I assure you, Kingbonki will not come back alive. You must know this if you have saw what he had been doing in the past.”

“…”

“If you let him stay with six clans, it will only decrease our forces. He is a poison.”

What he said was right. Chun Yujong tried to work it so that they can compete against each other in equal balance, but it was being broken. And the power was now growing to threaten Chun Yujong himself.

“He is no use as a card anymore. If you cut out the rotten area, everything else will heal.”

He meant that if Chun Yeowun was to get rid of, then his groups will dismantle. The Lord then became silent with his thoughts and spoke.

“It is time then.”

The one armed man spoke.

“Wise choice, my lord. So, what will you do?”

“Will take out his arms and legs first.”

The group had grown too powerful to take care of it directly. It was important to scatter the group.

“Pahin.”

“Yes, my Lord.”

The man with black cover on his eye answered.

“I order you as the Lord. Arrest Left Guardian Lee Hameng and Right Guardian Submeng and send them into prison right now.”

“Yes, my Lord!”
