The Heavenly Demon Who Reigns Chapter 125 : I Saw Cheon Myeong

Yu Eunseong was waiting for Cheon Myeong at the rendezvous point.

Fortunately, she had been able to et up with Cheon Seong and Soyeon Sang early on, so the two of them were also visible nearby.

"..."

The sun had already set, and the surroundings were dark.

Fortunately, thanks to that, she was able to be a little freer from the pursuit of the Black Night Gang, but since she was not completely free, Yu Eunseong was guarding the surroundings.

Thump- thump-.

At that mont, a presence approached Yu Eunseong's side.

Since she had been constantly on guard against the pursuit of the Black Night Gang, as soon as she felt the presence, Yu Eunseong moved her hand towards the dagger she had put in her bosom and turned her head to that side.

"Miss Yu."

"..."

The person who had approached Yu Eunseong was Cheon Seong.

As soon as she confird that fact, Yu Eunseong put down the hand that was heading for the dagger. And she said to Cheon Seong in a low voice.

"What is it?"

"Don't you think my brother is a little late?"

"..."

"I've been waiting for my brother in this place according to Miss Yu's words, but how long do I have to wait?"

Cheon Seong's tone towards Yu Eunseong was sowhat aggressive.

And for good reason, why had Yu Eunseong returned, but Cheon Myeong had not?

Although he had heard about the situation roughly from Yu Eunseong, that was only what he had heard through a third party.

If Cheon Myeong had directly ordered Cheon Seong to wait here, Cheon Seong would not have felt so anxious, but since it was only what he had heard through Yu Eunseong's mouth, Cheon Seong couldn't help but beco more sensitive as ti passed.

"Young Master Cheon Myeong ordered to find you two and wait at the rendezvous point."

"I heard that before."

"..."

"The sun has already set and quite so ti has passed. You said my brother went to a place called the Black Night Gang alone, right? But the fact that he hasn't co until now, could it be that sothing has happened to him there?"

From Cheon Seong's point of view, he couldn't help but have such a question.

'To be honest, I don't even know if everything this person said is true.'

Although they had been acting together until now, Cheon Seong had not forgotten that Yu Eunseong was a person from the Five Great Demonic Families.

A person from the Five Great Demonic Families could be said to be an enemy to him and Cheon Myeong.

To be honest, there was a sufficient possibility that Yu Eunseong had done sothing to Cheon Myeong while only the two of them, Cheon Myeong and Yu Eunseong, were together.

'There's no way my brother could have been defeated by Yu Eunseong, but...'

The fact that only Yu Eunseong had arrived here with the Three Sacred Treasures later than scheduled. And because of this situation where Cheon Myeong had not co until now, Cheon Seong's belief was slightly shaken.

"If it's Young Master Cheon Myeong's skill, you don't have to worry too much."

"..."

Cheon Seong silently watched Yu Eunseong, who was saying that to him.

Yu Eunseong also silently watched Cheon Seong and then, as if she had felt sothing, she opened her mouth.

"You don't believe my words?"

"To be honest... yes."

"..."

"The fact that my brother ordered to wait here is also just what Miss Yu said, not what I heard directly, right?"

Yu Eunseong also did not fail to understand Cheon Seong's words now.

However, Yu Eunseong had no ans to prove her innocence at the mont, and if there was, it was only for Cheon Myeong to show up in this place.

In the end, it was a situation where she could do nothing until Cheon Myeong ca.

Even if she insisted on her innocence, it seed difficult to clear Cheon Seong's suspicion.

"Then what do you want to do now, Young Master Cheon Seong?"

"I think we should go and find my brother."

"If we do that and our paths cross, we may never be able to et up. Wasn't it because you knew that fact that you have been staying here, Young Master Cheon Seong?"

As Yu Eunseong said that, Cheon Seong could not particularly refute those words.

Originally, Cheon Seong also thought that it was right to continue waiting for Cheon Myeong here. However, Yu Eunseong's existence was constantly shaking Cheon Seong's heart.

Thump-.

At that mont, a new presence appeared in front of the two.

As a presence suddenly appeared, Cheon Seong and Yu Eunseong stopped looking at each other and moved their gazes to that side, and after confirming the face that was faintly revealed in the darkness, Cheon Seong shouted with wide eyes.

"Brother!"

Cheon Myeong was standing there.

Cheon Seong ran to that place in one step with a happy heart, and only after confirming Cheon Myeong's appearance more clearly from up close could he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness. You're safe."

"What, didn't you hear from Yu Eunseong?"

"Uh... that's..."

Cheon Seong glanced at Yu Eunseong with an awkward look.

"...?"

An awkward atmosphere felt between Cheon Seong and Yu Eunseong.

As Cheon Myeong, who had just arrived here, he could not know what the cause of that atmosphere was.

"Young Master."

At that mont, Soyeon Sang, who had felt Cheon Myeong's presence, also approached.

Just in ti. Soyeon Sang would know what had happened between those two while he was away.

Cheon Myeong quietly asked Soyeon Sang.

"What's with them?"

"That's..."

Whisper, whisper-.

Ah, so that's what happened.

As Soyeon Sang explained it simply and clearly, Cheon Myeong could know the identity of this awkward atmosphere.

"Yu Eunseong."

"..."

"Co here."

As Cheon Myeong said that with a hand gesture, Yu Eunseong silently approached Cheon Myeong.

"Sorry, I ca later than I thought."

"...Yes?"

"If I had known it would be this late, I should have t up with the other two first and moved as you said."

Cheon Myeong called Yu Eunseong and said that for all to see.

By saying this, his purpose was to indirectly inform Cheon Seong that the responsibility for the current situation was all on him.

'If I say this, they'll sort it out on their own later.'

Cheon Myeong could not forcibly resolve the awkward atmosphere between those two now.

Even if he forced them to hold hands and apologize, it would not make everything as if it had never happened.

Well, it didn't really matter if the two of them didn't reconcile and stayed like this, but what to do after that would be up to Cheon Seong.

His role would end here.

Swish-.

After finishing what he had to say, Cheon Myeong held out sothing to Yu Eunseong.

What was in Cheon Myeong's hand was Yu Eunseong's sword, and Yu Eunseong looked at the sword intently and then received it politely with both hands.

"...Thank you."

"What's there to thank for?"

"By the way, Young Master, what on earth is that rope you're holding in your left hand?"

"This?"

Cheon Myeong, who was raising his left hand with a calm voice.

"...?"

Only then did Cheon Seong realize that sothing was held in Cheon Myeong's left hand.

'...A rope?'

It was a rope, but it was taut as if it were tied to sothing.

Cheon Seong moved his gaze along the long rope, starting from the point Cheon Myeong was holding, and the rope continued to behind a rock a little away from here.

Swish-.

At that mont, Cheon Myeong pulled the rope he was holding strongly. Then, with a single scream, a man popped out from behind the rock.

"Ack-!"

The man who popped out with a scream was Heo Cham. But... his appearance was quite a sight.

His upper body was tightly bound with a rope like a tree wrapped in vines.

Thanks to that, he couldn't even bend his waist as he pleased, and Heo Cham continued to maintain an upright posture.

"..."

A silence that followed Heo Cham's single scream.

From the eyes of the three, the thought of 'what on earth is that guy doing' seed to be conveyed as it was.

"H-hello?"

Heo Cham greeted the three who were looking at him like a strange guy with an awkward smile.

However, as he greeted them in that state, it seed to only create a backlash, and Cheon Seong shook his head as if to co to his senses and asked Cheon Myeong.

"...Brother, who is that suspicious creature... no, person?"

"He's a guy who used to be affiliated with the Eighth Grinding Squad."

"Used to?"

"He's a guy who left our cult on his own and was hiding here. I'm going to take him to the main headquarters and make him pay for his sins."

"Ah..."

Hearing Cheon Myeong's words, Cheon Seong could understand why Heo Cham was tied up like that.

In other words, was that rope a binding rope?

Well, if he were tied up like that, it seed that even he would never be able to escape.

"Well, there were so things here and there. Anyway, the mission is over."

"..."

"Now we will return to the main headquarters with the retrieved Three Sacred Treasures."

"Young Master, I will return this to you now."

At that mont, Yu Eunseong held out the Heavenly Demon Sword and the Heavenly Demon Mirror she had and said that.

Since it was the purpose of this mission and an important thing that should never be lost on the way back, Yu Eunseong had tried to return them to Cheon Myeong, but Cheon Myeong shook his head once and said to Yu Eunseong.

"You keep them."

"...Is that okay?"

"Yes, as you can see, I have sothing else to manage."

Cheon Myeong said that and showed the binding rope he was holding to Yu Eunseong.

Yu Eunseong seed not to have expected that Cheon Myeong would entrust the Three Sacred Treasures to her until the end, and she could not answer Cheon Myeong's words right away.

"You can't do it?"

"...No. Then I will keep this until we arrive at the main headquarters."

Until yesterday, Cheon Myeong would not have entrusted the Three Sacred Treasures to Yu Eunseong so readily.

However, during today, Cheon Myeong had learned so things about Yu Eunseong, and at least in this situation, he thought that Yu Eunseong was not soone he could not trust enough to entrust the Three Sacred Treasures to, so he had said that.

'Well, there's no way she would run away with the Three Sacred Treasures now.'

If she were going to do that, she should have already run away with the Three Sacred Treasures.

However, Yu Eunseong had kept the Three Sacred Treasures as he had ordered, and considering that point, Cheon Myeong had decided to continue entrusting the Three Sacred Treasures to Yu Eunseong until the main headquarters.

"Young Master, I have brought the horses."

At that mont, Soyeon Sang led the horses that had been hidden in the bushes.

Cheon Myeong lightly stroked his horse and then got on top of it with a light movent, and said to everyone.

"Now, everyone get ready to depart."

Trot, trot-.

While everyone was on horseback, one person was still running hard on the ground.

Heo Cham desperately chased after Cheon Myeong and was barely able to arrive nearby.

'Do I have to keep moving in this state?'

Heo Cham caught his breath and suddenly had that thought.

Since his upper body was not free, it was by no ans easy to move his lower body.

Although he had sohow followed Cheon Myeong's back until now, it seed that it didn't make sense to keep moving in this state, no matter how much he thought about it.

'It's impossible to chase a horse in this state.'

He didn't even hope to ride on the horse together.

Heo Cham seed to be satisfied just by loosening the binding rope a little so that he could at least run properly.

Thinking so, Heo Cham carefully spoke to Cheon Myeong.

"Excuse ..."

Neigh-!

At that mont, the sound of a horse's cry was heard.

Heo Cham's voice was swallowed by that cry.

Flap, flap, flap-!

The loose rope was becoming taut at a fast speed.

The cause of that was that Cheon Myeong had started the horse while holding the rope, and at that mont, Heo Cham had no choice but to move his legs again without a mont to think.

"...!"

Heo Cham, who was tied with a rope and was running after the horse Cheon Myeong was riding.

He had wondered if it was possible to follow a horse in this state, but it seed that a person indeed exerts more ability when driven into a crisis situation.

However, that was also for a mont, and Heo Cham thought that he would really die in this state.

"Y-Young Master! Please let ride too!"

"..."

"Or at least loosen this rope a little!"

Heo Cham shouted at Cheon Myeong while chasing the horse.

However, Cheon Myeong did not even look back, let alone answer, and in the end, Soyeon Sang, who was riding a horse side by side, said to Cheon Myeong.

"Young Master, are you going to let him keep following like that?"

"I am."

"...Really?"

"Yes, he's following well."

Is that... following well?

It seed that he was following, but it felt like sothing a human should not do.

"I'm kidding. I'll let him ride on the back after running like this for a little while."

"R-right?"

"Yes, when that guy gets tired and faints."

"...?"

Thud-.

At that mont, a heavy sound was heard from behind. And the sound of sothing being dragged continued to be heard.

"Now it should be okay to let him ride."

Cheon Myeong, who was saying that with a calm smile.

Soyeon Sang sohow felt reluctant to look back.

"..."

A demon, no, I saw Cheon Myeong.
