Whoosh-.
Bang Gitae passed through the wall of the Little Heaven Pavilion and went straight inside.
Originally, it was not an act that could be tolerated even for Bang Gitae to invade the Little Heaven Pavilion in this way.
Moreover, to invade without permission in the middle of the night like this.
It would be a situation that would be sufficiently suspicious if soone who did not know the circumstances saw it.
"..."
However, now was not a situation to consider such circumstances.
Even at this mont, the stolen Three Sacred Treasures would be getting farther and farther away from the main headquarters.
If it had not been for such a situation, he would have knocked on the door from the outside and entered, but now, Bang Gitae was focusing all his attention on quickly carrying out Cheon Jin's order to bring Cheon Myeong.
'Where is Young Master Cheon Myeong?'
Although it was good that he had entered quickly, Bang Gitae did not know exactly where Cheon Myeong's room was located.
He had no choice.
Although it would be rude to Cheon Myeong again, he had no choice but to open all the doors in the Little Heaven Pavilion as he ca across them.
If he were to discover soone else in the middle, he could just ask that person for Cheon Myeong's location.
Creak-.
As soon as he finished his thoughts, Bang Gitae went into the Little Heaven Pavilion without hesitation and began to open the doors.
Naturally, the first and second were duds.
Although it would have been nice if there were servants there, not Cheon Myeong, Bang Gitae did not know that the number of servants in the Little Heaven Pavilion was extrely small for its size.
In the end, he could not find anyone in the third and fourth rooms, and Bang Gitae opened the fifth room with an urgent heart.
Thump-.
A chill that was transmitted from the neck as soon as Bang Gitae opened the door.
Bang Gitae could imdiately realize that soone was aiming a sword at his neck.
'Who on earth is it?'
To think that he would not be able to react in ti, even though he had opened the door without being on guard because he had to hurry.
Bang Gitae did not move his body and only moved his gaze to look at the person who was aiming a sword at him.
"..."
The person who was aiming a sword at Bang Gitae was Cheon Myeong.
Although his attire was a thin cotton garnt as if he had just woken up, the gaze with which he was looking at Bang Gitae did not feel like that of soone who had just woken up from sleep.
"Why did the Head of the Law Enforcent Hall co into my room in the middle of the night like this?"
"That is..."
"Answer my question in that state."
As Bang Gitae tried to move slightly, Cheon Myeong's sword pressed more against Bang Gitae's neck.
'Is he thinking that I ca to assassinate him?'
Thinking about it, it was a situation that could be sufficiently misunderstood.
Not only had he entered the Little Heaven Pavilion on his own in the middle of the night, but he had also invaded the room where Cheon Myeong was sleeping without permission.
If he had just changed his clothes to a night suit and wore a mask over his mouth, he would have been a perfect assassin.
"Young Master, you are misunderstanding sothing!"
"..."
"I have only co to escort you on the leader's order!"
"The leader's order?"
"Yes, there was an order from the leader to escort Young Master Cheon Myeong imdiately."
"..."
Although Bang Gitae had explained to clear up the misunderstanding, Cheon Myeong continued to maintain that state.
It seed that he was judging whether those words were true or not.
However, the sword that had been aid at Bang Gitae's neck soon went down.
Phew-.
As Cheon Myeong lowered his sword, a sigh of relief ca out of Bang Gitae's mouth without him realizing it.
"I'm sorry. It seems I misunderstood sothing."
As soon as he lowered his sword, Cheon Myeong apologized.
Then, Bang Gitae let out a slight cough and said to Cheon Myeong.
"No. It was a situation that could have been sufficiently misunderstood, so please don't worry."
"I'm just grateful that you say so."
"..."
Bang Gitae silently watched Cheon Myeong, who was sheathing his sword.
To think that he had not been able to avoid Cheon Myeong's surprise attack, even though he had entered the room without looking back and forth.
Along with the skills he had shown in the Demonic Position Battle, and having experienced such a situation directly, Bang Gitae's thoughts about Cheon Myeong had no choice but to change for sure.
"Did you say that the leader called for ?"
Cheon Myeong asked, sheathing his sword.
Then, Bang Gitae recalled the purpose of his visit and said with an urgent voice again.
"Yes, that's right. Since it is an urgent matter, please hurry."
"..."
Why was Cheon Jin calling for him in the middle of the night like this?
Moreover, to say that it was an urgent matter.
Although it was a little unpleasant to be woken up in the middle of sleep and called, since it seed certain that sothing had happened, it seed that he could not just pretend not to know and go back to sleep.
"I understand."
If he were to go and it turned out to be nothing, just you wait.
'...But still, I can't do anything about it.'
Cheon Myeong was gradually getting used to this kind of treatnt.
***
"There is sothing you have to do."
"..."
As soon as he raised his bowed head, Cheon Jin said.
'As expected... there is no ntion of being called in the middle of the night.'
He hadn't expected it anyway.
Could the word 'sorry' ever co out of that guy's mouth?
Cheon Myeong realized that fact once again and said to Cheon Jin.
"What is it?"
"It is to find the stolen item."
"The stolen item...?"
No, if an item was stolen, shouldn't he ask the Law Enforcent Hall, not him?
Cheon Myeong could not understand why he was waking him up in the middle of his sleep and making such a request.
However, at Cheon Jin's following words, those thoughts completely disappeared from Cheon Myeong's head.
"Yes, the Three Sacred Treasures."
"...?"
"The sacred treasures of our cult have been stolen."
"..."
Cheon Myeong was at a loss for words.
First of all, he could not properly accept the situation that the Three Sacred Treasures had been stolen, and he could not understand that Cheon Jin was saying such a thing so calmly.
'Could it be...'
At that mont, a thought ca to Cheon Myeong's mind.
About a hundred years from now, when Cheon Myeong was still Jangcheon, there was no such thing as the Three Sacred Treasures in the Demonic Cult.
Although Cheon Myeong knew that the Three Sacred Treasures had disappeared in the generation before him, he did not know exactly when they had disappeared and through what route they had disappeared.
But to think that that ti was Cheon Jin's generation.
And thinking that he was now experiencing that situation, Cheon Myeong felt sowhat dazed.
'A lot of things really happened when this guy was the leader.'
Not only did the division of the Demonic Cult begin, but also so of the oral traditions of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art were lost.
Moreover, to think that even the Three Sacred Treasures were stolen... Cheon Myeong really didn't know what to say.
"...Are you telling to find them?"
"That's right."
"..."
To be honest, there were really many things he wanted to ask Cheon Jin.
However, now, there was no ti to ask all these things, and even if he were to ask, that guy would not answer each and every one of them kindly.
Cheon Myeong asked Cheon Jin one thing he was most curious about.
"Why are you giving such an order?"
It was not that he was asking in that way because he was annoyed at receiving the order.
To be honest, weren't there many more suitable people in the main headquarters than him?
Then it would be a matter of entrusting it to that person, so Cheon Myeong could not understand why he was calling him in the middle of the night and giving such an order.
"..."
As Cheon Myeong asked, Cheon Jin maintained his silence without answering imdiately.
At that reaction, Cheon Myeong thought that perhaps he had offended Cheon Jin, but soon, Cheon Jin broke the silence and opened his mouth.
"The person who is currently on the run with the Three Sacred Treasures is the leader of the Guard Corps, Man Jeokseon."
"..."
"To the extent that he was entrusted with guarding the Heavenly Demon's secret vault, and on top of that, with the transportation of the Three Sacred Treasures, you can see how deep the trust in that person was."
Hearing those words, Cheon Myeong nodded his head inwardly.
Since he would not entrust the sacred treasures of the Demonic Cult to a person without trust.
From Cheon Jin's point of view, it would feel like he had been hit hard on the back of the head.
"Even a guy like that betrayed ."
"..."
"And now, I don't know how many more people like Man Jeokseon there are inside our cult."
In other words, since he could not trust anyone, he was sending him.
However, hearing those words, Cheon Myeong was a little absurd.
Since when had Cheon Jin trusted him so much?
Just by looking at his attitude towards him until now, he couldn't help but think that it was rather the opposite of trust.
"...Can you trust ?"
Cheon Myeong asked with a slight emotion.
Of course, to ask in that way was a rather rude remark to the leader, but Cheon Jin maintained a calm expression and answered that question.
"I trust you."
"..."
Phew-.
To think that he would hear the words 'I trust you' from that guy.
Of course, since the situation was like this, it was possible that he was just saying that on the outside.
'Good.'
He did not have a good impression of Cheon Jin on a regular basis.
To be honest, he even felt a little triumphant that Cheon Jin was in this difficult situation.
However, Cheon Myeong decided to accept that order.
'There are two reasons.'
One was that he could create a debt to Cheon Jin with this as an opportunity.
Since he was also a person, if he did sothing, there would be sothing that would co back to him.
Of course, it was also possible that he would just wipe his mouth clean later and there would be nothing that would co back to him.
However, this was, after all, a secondary reason, and Cheon Myeong decided to accept the order because of the decisive second reason.
'This incident may lead to the division of the Demonic Cult.'
The Three Sacred Treasures were the sacred treasures of the Demonic Cult.
As he had said before, although they were just ordinary items, the biggest significance of the Three Sacred Treasures was the symbolism of the Demonic Cult.
What would happen if the rumor that such a symbolism had been stolen were to spread in the Demonic Cult? Not only would the authority of the leader fall, but with this as an opportunity, a force like the Five Great Demonic Families would gain power.
If such a situation were to unfold, didn't he already know what would happen to the Demonic Cult in the future?
In the first place, he was here now to prevent such a future.
'Although I don't like the fact that I'm cleaning up his ss...'
If it was to prevent a division, he could gladly endure it.
Cheon Myeong thought so and said to Cheon Jin.
"I understand."
"..."
"I will surely retrieve the Three Sacred Treasures."
In this situation, how many people could say that they could surely do it?
Cheon Jin silently watched Cheon Myeong and then opened his mouth.
"That's a good answer."
"..."
"But it will be difficult for you to carry this out alone."
Whoosh-.
Cheon Jin said and threw sothing at Cheon Myeong.
Cheon Myeong lightly caught what Cheon Jin had thrown, and he soon looked at what he was holding in his hand.
"It's a Demonic Plaque."
"..."
"While you are carrying that, what you say will have the sa authority as the order of , the leader of our cult."
He knew.
That's why Cheon Myeong was slightly surprised when he first received the Demonic Plaque.
'To think that he would even give sothing like this... this is unexpected.'
It was safe to say that there were almost no cases where the leader gave out a Demonic Plaque.
Since it could be said to be the sa as giving out his own authority, how could he give it out so carelessly?
Through the Demonic Plaque, Cheon Myeong could at least know that Cheon Jin's words that he trusted him were not a lie.
If not, it could also an that the situation was so serious that he had to give out the Demonic Plaque.
"Anyone is fine. Select the person you think you need and go on the pursuit."
"..."
"If you present that, no one in our cult will be able to refuse your words."
In other words, did it an that he should form a pursuit team and move?
Although he did not say it, he would have to keep this a secret from others.
"As you command."
In the original future, the Three Sacred Treasures would have been lost like this.
However, since the past had changed, it would be the way of the world for the future to also change naturally.
'I will change the future of our cult with my own hands.'
And this was the first step for that.
