The Heavenly Demon Who Reigns Chapter 181 : Setting Out (1)

Squeeze-

Jong Seojun tightly tied a bandage around Cheon Myeong's arm.

The place where he had just wrapped the bandage was the wound Cheon Myeong had received in the battle with Su Yeongseong, and since he had only given it first aid at that ti, he had treated it properly after returning to the main headquarters.

"..."

Of course, this also could not be called a complete treatnt.

Although he wanted to take him to the Demonic Infirmary and proceed with the treatnt properly if he had his way, since Cheon Myeong did not have that much ti now, Jong Seojun had no choice but to do his best accordingly.

"...It's done now."

Jong Seojun said with a voice that felt troubled.

Then, Cheon Myeong, who put on the shirt he had taken off.

Thanks to that, the wounded area wrapped in the bandage was completely invisible, but it could not be said that that state was okay now.

"Thanks."

"..."

Even at Cheon Myeong's words, Jong Seojun did not say anything.

And after a while.

As if he had thought deeply about sothing, Jong Seojun cautiously opened his mouth.

"Young Master... do you really have to go in your current state?"

"..."

"You are a patient, Young Master. So it will be most important to take care of your body first."

Jong Seojun knew that Cheon Myeong was now setting out to question the sin of the Jeonsu family.

However, as a physician, and as soone who served Cheon Myeong, Jong Seojun did not want to send Cheon Myeong there.

Of course, although he was not doubting Cheon Myeong's skills, wasn't Cheon Myeong a patient now?

Even if the wound on his arm could not be said to be that deep, no one knew what kind of result it would bring.

Since Jong Seojun had seen such cases quite a few tis until now, he was now speaking to Cheon Myeong like this.

"That's not possible."

However, the answer that ca back from Cheon Myeong's mouth was very firm.

Although it wasn't that he didn't understand Jong Seojun's heart, since he could not miss this opportunity now, Cheon Myeong had no choice but to say that.

"The fate of this cult will be divided by this expedition."

"..."

"So although I understand your heart, it can't be helped."

"...Then at least take with you."

No one knows what will happen in a place called a battlefield.

So if he were to accompany Cheon Myeong, wouldn't he be able to cope when a one-in-a-million event occurred?

In the worst case, even if a large sword wound were to appear on Cheon Myeong's abdon, he would be able to save his life.

Jong Seojun had actually been aiming for this from the beginning and had spoken to Cheon Myeong.

However.

"That's not possible either."

Cheon Myeong firmly refused even that.

To think that Cheon Myeong would refuse even his accompanint.

Since this was a part that he had not expected at all, Jong Seojun asked Cheon Myeong with a rather flustered appearance.

"W-why are you saying that even that is not possible?"

"You are not a person to go to the battlefield."

"..."

"Your role is to remain in the main headquarters and take care of the injured patients. If you were to go there and suffer so misfortune, who would take care of the patients who occur there?"

Of course, there were many physicians in the Demonic Infirmary besides Jong Seojun.

However, among them, Jong Seojun's dical skills could be said to be overwhelmingly superior.

It was not just a matter of the number of people.

Because Jong Seojun could treat what even a hundred other physicians combined could not.

In that sense, losing Jong Seojun would be a great loss for the entire Demonic Cult, and also for Cheon Myeong.

"Perhaps my life is more valuable than your life."

"..."

"If I get injured there, I will ask you to treat again. If I think that you are in the main headquarters, I think I can also face the battle with a more at ease mind."

"...I understand."

In the end, Jong Seojun had no choice but to answer like that.

Since Cheon Myeong's will was like that, to insist any further would be a presumptuous act for soone who was following.

Jong Seojun forced a smile on his lips and said.

"It is best not to get injured. So please do not overdo it."

"..."

Cheon Myeong just answered Jong Seojun's words with a smile.

"Young Master Cheon Myeong, are you inside?"

At that mont, soone's voice was heard from outside the door.

Cheon Myeong imdiately looked at that side, and unlike what he had said to Jong Seojun, a rather dignified voice ca out of Cheon Myeong's mouth.

"Co in."

As Cheon Myeong said, two figures opened the door and showed their appearance.

One was a man with long hair, and the other was a woman with short hair.

Both of them did not look that young, and the montum they gave off on the outside was by no ans ordinary.

'Those two... are they the leaders of the Second and Third Demonic Squads?'

The man with long hair would be the Second Demonic Squad Leader, Hong Daeyeon, and the woman with short hair would be the Third Demonic Squad Leader, Sa Mijeong.

Since he had only seen their faces roughly until now and this was the first ti he had faced them like this, Cheon Myeong was silently observing the appearance of the two.

'Compared to that guy, Jeonjong, a considerable difference is felt.'

The twelve squads that existed in the Demonic Cult.

Although on the outside, all the squads might look the sa, in fact, there was a considerable difference between each squad.

The part that divided that difference the most was between the Sixth and Seventh Demonic Squads.

When the number twelve was divided in half, the squads in the first half were evaluated to have much higher skills, and the squads in the second half were evaluated to be relatively weak.

"..."

Of course, although the skills of the mbers who made up the squad would also be included in that evaluation, the part where the most prominence was revealed would be the leader's skills.

Although they had not directly clashed swords, compared to Jeonjong, those two could be said to have much superior skills.

Cheon Myeong could tell that fact just by observing for a mont.

Thump-

At that mont, the two who had entered the room took a prostrate posture towards Cheon Myeong.

"We greet Young Master Cheon Myeong."

"..."

"In accordance with the Leader's order, we will now follow Young Master Cheon Myeong's instructions."

Hong Daeyeon said to Cheon Myeong in a prostrate state.

Didn't that an that he could now use the Second and Third Demonic Squads as his own hands and feet?

Since the leaders of the Second and Third Demonic Squads were now saying that they would follow him, it could be thought that the mbers under them had automatically beco Cheon Myeong's hands and feet.

'To think that he would give the Second and Third Demonic Squads.'

Cheon Jin had said that he would add his strength to him from now on.

Although he had not known exactly in what form Cheon Jin would help him until now, seeing those two who were now kneeling to him, Cheon Myeong couldn't help but have the corners of his mouth go up.

'The Second and Third Demonic Squads... if those two places beco my strength, it will be enough.'

The twelve squads that could be called the core power of the Demonic Cult. Among them, the ones that belonged to the top could be said to be the Second and Third Demonic Squads.

If he could use those two squads as his own hands and feet, then no matter how much it was the Jeonsu family, wouldn't they collapse powerlessly like a candle in the wind?

Moreover, since he had already reduced a considerable number of the Jeonsu family's core forces in the North Sea by himself, this much force was more than enough.

Swish-

At that mont, Cheon Myeong stood up from his seat.

And he slowly approached the two and stood in front of them and said.

"Good. Then I will give you instructions."

"..."

"The Second and Third Demonic Squads will now set out for the Seoha branch imdiately."

Flinch-

Hearing Cheon Myeong's words, a slight tremor occurred in the two's bodies.

The Seoha branch was the region where the Jeonsu family had established its position.

But to send the Second and Third Demonic Squads there... there was no way the two would not know the aning.

"...As you command."

The two who answered at the sa ti.

From now on, Cheon Myeong's order could be said to be Cheon Jin's order.

The two had no choice but to answer like this.

"..."

Leaving those two behind, Cheon Myeong left the room.

'All preparations are over.'

Now it was ti to pull out the rotten root.

***

Su Yijeong was sitting alone in the room with a rather anxious appearance.

"..."

It had already been half a month since Su Yeongseong had led the warriors and had left for the North Sea.

No matter how far the North Sea was, it would be normal to return by now.

However, no matter how much he waited, since there was no contact from Su Yeongseong, as ti passed, Su Yijeong's anxiety could only grow.

'Did sothing... go wrong?'

He had thought that that would not happen.

No matter how much Cheon Myeong's skills had exceeded expectations, he would not be able to face a hundred warriors of the Jeonsu family.

Since he had the thought that he could succeed no matter what variables there were, Su Yijeong had sent Su Yeongseong and the warriors there.

"..."

But seeing that there was no news even after this much ti had passed, that thought began to change.

Although there was the saying that no news is good news, it would be a saying that did not suit this situation.

No matter how much he thought about it, only a bad result ca to mind.

'Don't tell ...'

At that mont, a certain thought ca to Su Yijeong's mind.

What on earth could be the reason for there to be no contact like this?

If he just wanted to make contact, he would be able to do so enough through a carrier pigeon.

But for there to be no news...

"...Annihilation?"

Su Yijeong himself was dumbfounded after saying that.

Annihilation.

Was he saying that a hundred warriors of the Jeonsu family had been annihilated by just one Cheon Myeong?

Moreover, since Su Yeongseong, who had recovered his strength through the Star-Sucking Great Art, was also there, it was sothing that did not make sense at all.

"..."

However, no other case ca to mind.

If they had really failed in the ambush and had all been defeated by Cheon Myeong... would it be okay to be sitting so leisurely like this?

As he had that thought, Su Yijeong could not sit still in his seat.

Thump-

Su Yijeong stood up from his seat and took a rather rough deep breath.

'No... it will be okay to wait for now.'

There was nothing certain yet.

If sothing had happened, so movent would have already appeared in the main headquarters.

Still, it seed that he would have to strengthen his guard towards that side just in case.

"Is anyone outside!"

Su Yijeong shouted towards the outside of the door.

Although it was normal for soone to co as soon as he raised his voice, it was strangely quiet.

In the end, Su Yijeong himself opened the door and went out into the corridor.

Thump- thump-

At that mont, the sound of footsteps rushing this way was heard.

'Is he finally coming?'

Although he wanted to scold him for dawdling if he had his way, now he was short on ti.

Su Yijeong was about to open his mouth, looking at the man who was rushing at him.

However,

Before that, the man from the other side began to say sothing to Su Yijeong while rushing over.

"S-sothing's wrong!"

"...?"

"We're surrounded!"

Surrounded...?

Su Yijeong still did not seem to have understood properly what the man had said.

Su Yijeong's figure, which suddenly disappeared from that spot.

And Su Yijeong, who had appeared in front of the man, grabbed the man's collar with his remaining right arm.

"What does that an! Speak properly!"

"Th-that is..."

It was not easy to speak while being held by the collar.

However, since it seed that Su Yijeong would kill him if he did not speak, the man forced his mouth open.

"Th-the Second and Third Demonic Squads are currently coming this way!"

"...!"

"Also, at the front is Young Master Cheon Myeong..."

Thud-

Even before his words were finished, Su Yijeong let go of the man's collar.

And a mutter that ca out of Su Yijeong's mouth.

His face was already pale.

"No... am I already too late...!"

He was saying that Cheon Myeong was now leading the Second and Third Demonic Squads and was heading this way.

There was no way Su Yijeong would not know the aning.

"Aaaaaaaaaah-!"

Su Yijeong, who began to shout like a madman.

A roar like that of a thunderclap filled the inside of the hall.
