A sharp sword gang that flew towards this side.
It was certain that the person who had just made that attack was Hong Daeyeon.
'Aiming for ... no, was he trying to kill Su Yijeong?'
If you think about it normally, it was absurd for Hong Daeyeon to aim for Cheon Myeong.
Moreover, in a public place like this.
Since the distance between Cheon Myeong and Su Yijeong was close, it could seem ambiguous who the attack was aid at, but Cheon Myeong thought that in nine cases out of ten, what Hong Daeyeon had aid for was Su Yijeong.
*Pat-*
It was then.
A person who was rushing at Hong Daeyeon like an angry bull in an instant.
Heo Cham was rushing at Hong Daeyeon, holding his Hell Zanbato high to the side.
"...!"
In Heo Cham's eyes, it seed as if Hong Daeyeon had just attacked Cheon Myeong.
Since he had been watching that from quite a distance, it was inevitable that Heo Cham would think so.
As the leader of the Chunguidae, Heo Cham could not just leave the one who had pointed a sword at Cheon Myeong alone.
Even if that were the leader of the Second Demonic Squad.
Rushing at Hong Daeyeon, Heo Cham drew out his sword ki.
And in a state of having jumped into the air, he swung the Hell Zanbato held in both hands at Hong Daeyeon's head.
*Flash-*
It was then.
As Hong Daeyeon's sword moved quickly for a mont, a sharp sword gang poured out from there.
The place where the sword gang was heading was Heo Cham's Hell Zanbato.
Since it was already too late to dodge, Heo Cham had no choice but to swing his Zanbato at the sword gang.
*Crash-!*
As Heo Cham's sword strike and Hong Daeyeon's sword gang clashed in the air, a considerable roar occurred.
Heo Cham's figure, which was floating in the air as if ti had stopped.
Since the power of both sides was tense, such a phenonon had occurred temporarily.
"...!"
At that mont, a slight tremor began to occur in Heo Cham's two hands.
Was he saying that he was now being pushed back by force?
Although he had lost a lot of strength due to the battle until now, looking at his trembling two hands, Heo Cham could not easily accept that fact.
*Pang-!*
Although he had shattered the sword gang, in the end, Heo Cham was also pushed back.
Heo Cham, who imdiately readjusted his posture as soon as he landed on the ground.
If you just looked at his expression, it was a montum to rush at Hong Daeyeon again, but before that, Hong Daeyeon first opened his mouth to Heo Cham.
"What is this all of a sudden?"
Hong Daeyeon asked Heo Cham.
Then, Heo Cham said to Hong Daeyeon with an excited expression but a rather calm voice.
"That's what I should be saying."
"..."
"Didn't you just attack Young Master Cheon Myeong first?"
"When did I attack Young Master Cheon Myeong?"
As Hong Daeyeon said that, Heo Cham's eyebrows twitched.
To think that he would speak so brazenly when he had seen it clearly with his own two eyes.
Although Heo Cham was about to argue with a much higher voice than before, he had no choice but to calm his excitent after hearing the voice from behind before that.
"Stop it."
Cheon Myeong, who had approached right behind Heo Cham, said that.
As Cheon Myeong said that, Heo Cham had no choice but to calm his montum, and Cheon Myeong passed Heo Cham and walked to the side where Hong Daeyeon was.
*Thump-*
As the distance got closer to so extent, Cheon Myeong, who stopped his steps.
Cheon Myeong asked, facing Hong Daeyeon.
"Hong Daeyeon."
"Yes, Young Master Cheon Myeong."
"Why did you kill Su Yijeong?"
"Isn't that a matter of course?"
"..."
"We ca to take the head of the great traitor, Su Yijeong. That's why we killed him... is sothing wrong?"
Hong Daeyeon's words were not wrong.
Because Cheon Myeong had also led his troops here with the intention of killing Su Yijeong from the beginning.
However, what Cheon Myeong was now questioning Hong Daeyeon about was not that.
"When did I order you to kill Su Yijeong?"
"..."
"I have never given you such an order."
The action that Hong Daeyeon had just shown was very suspicious.
Yes, as if he were trying to kill Su Yijeong sohow before he could say anything useless.
In Cheon Myeong's eyes, Hong Daeyeon's actions now looked like that.
'It fit too perfectly.'
Su Yijeong had clearly been about to confess sothing to him.
However, because of Hong Daeyeon's actions, the words he had not been able to hear until the end.
Who on earth was the person who had taught the Jeonsu family the Star-Sucking Great Art?
By cutting Su Yijeong's head, he had not been able to hear who that person was.
"..."
Before that na ca out, Hong Daeyeon had closed Su Yijeong's mouth by killing him to destroy the evidence.
If you think about it that way, everything fit perfectly.
Of course, although this was just an unfounded speculation.
His intuition was now telling him that everything about Hong Daeyeon was suspicious.
"...I'm sorry."
At that mont, Hong Daeyeon said at the end of a brief silence.
"As soon as I saw the enemy's leader in front of , I swung my sword without realizing it."
"..."
"Also, I thought that Su Yijeong might rush at Young Master Cheon Myeong at any ti, so I seem to have made a rash judgnt for Young Master Cheon Myeong's safety."
It was a really absurd excuse.
For his safety?
Anyone could see that Su Yijeong was in a state that was no different from a half-corpse.
But since Hong Daeyeon was saying that he had done such a thing for his own well-being, Cheon Myeong was so dumbfounded that he couldn't even laugh.
"..."
Cheon Myeong, who was looking at Hong Daeyeon without a word.
If you just looked at his gaze, it seed that he would point a sword at Hong Daeyeon, but an unexpected statent ca out of Cheon Myeong's mouth.
"...I understand. I will let it go this ti."
"..."
"From now on, lead the troops and bind all the enemies in this vicinity. If you disobey my order again this ti and act on your own judgnt... then I will not let it go like now."
"...As you command."
Hearing the answer, Cheon Myeong turned around.
Of course, although he could have argued more if he wanted to, since he judged that it was aningless to argue any further, Cheon Myeong had retreated at this point.
Moreover, he and the Chunguidae were now quite tired from fighting with a large number of enemies.
Since he might have to fight the entire Second Demonic Squad in this place if he continued to provoke Hong Daeyeon, Cheon Myeong decided to put this matter aside for a while.
'The person who taught the Jeonsu family the Star-Sucking Great Art... it would be okay to think that there is so connection between that guy and Hong Daeyeon.'
Cheon Myeong thought so in his mind and looked at one place.
Su Yijeong, whose head and body were separated and had beco a cold corpse.
Although he had thought that it would be over to so extent if he killed him and destroyed the Jeonsu family, Cheon Myeong could imdiately realize that his thought was wrong.
"..."
What was revealed was just the tip of the iceberg.
This war was still going on.
***
Jin Jaseong was walking alone in a dark corridor.
Unlike his usual relaxed smile, a desolate expression.
The emotion of tension was now appearing on Jin Jaseong's face.
"..."
Jin Jaseong was now in a state of having been called by soone.
He had never t him face to face until now, and all he knew was his na.
Seocheon.
Although the Maryongjin family had been calling him that, in fact, it was not even certain whether that was his real na or not.
'Why... did he call ?'
If it were the usual, he would have t his father, not him.
However, for so reason, Seocheon was looking for him this ti, not his father, and Jin Jaseong could not ignore his call.
"Listen carefully. You must never act rudely in front of that person."
Before he moved his steps to this place, his father had earnestly requested that of him.
A tone as if he should maintain a low posture no matter what happened on this side.
Although he had thought that the Maryongjin family was on an equal footing with Seocheon until now, hearing those words from his father, Jin Jaseong could see that his thought was wrong.
'What on earth is behind that person... Seocheon?'
His father would not have said that just for one person, Seocheon.
No matter how much of a monster with extrely wicked skills he was, he would not be able to do anything in front of the power of the Maryongjin family.
As a result of using his own head, Jin Jaseong thought that what his father was being careful about was not one person, Seocheon, but so force behind him.
'A force that even the Maryongjin family is careful about...'
Although a certain place ca to mind imdiately, it was not yet certain.
Because the fact that the place he had just thought of and the Maryongjin family were holding hands was really absurd.
While he was having such thoughts by himself, Jin Jaseong had soon arrived in front of a certain door.
"..."
Seocheon is in here.
Although this was clearly a room in his own main house.
Just with the fact that Seocheon was beyond this, it seed as if a completely different feeling from what he usually saw was flowing from the door.
*Gulp-*
A dry saliva that went down his throat.
After finishing his deep breath, Jin Jaseong cautiously opened his mouth.
"It is Jin Jaseong."
"..."
"May I co in?"
A polite tone.
Since his father had earnestly requested it, Jin Jaseong spoke as cautiously as possible.
Then, a voice was heard from inside.
"Co in."
A man's voice.
If you just heard the voice, it felt quite young.
Jin Jaseong composed his breath and soon cautiously opened the door and entered.
'...He's young.'
Jin Jaseong could see Seocheon's face for the first ti.
Just as he had expected from hearing his voice, Seocheon felt quite young.
Similar to him... no, is he younger than that?
Although it was a little unexpected, it did not an that he could relax his tension.
*Thump-*
Jin Jaseong cautiously closed the door and approached Seocheon.
And he politely perford a fist salute and greeted him.
"It is a pleasure to et you for the first ti."
"..."
"I am Jin Jaseong, the young master of the Maryongjin family."
As if it were natural, there was no greeting from that side.
A superior-subordinate relationship felt from that attitude.
At this mont, Jin Jaseong could clearly see that the Maryongjin family was below Seocheon.
No, to be precise, he could see that the Maryongjin family was below the place where Seocheon belonged.
"The Heavenly Jade Dragon... as expected, you are very handso, just like your na."
At the end of a slight silence, Seocheon said that.
Hearing those words, Jin Jaseong fell into thought for a mont.
Although he had been hearing complints about his appearance to the point of being tired of them, since it was Seocheon, not anyone else, who was speaking in that way, Jin Jaseong couldn't help but worry about how he should react.
'It must just be a greeting. Now... yes, it would be good for to also accept it naturally.'
Jin Jaseong made that judgnt in an instant.
And a smile that appeared on his face.
To the extent that it could be called chanical, Jin Jaseong instantly created a natural smile and said.
"Thank..."
"But that's all."
"...?"
"That kind of face will work well on won. So don't smile at like that."
A rather insulting remark ca out of Seocheon's mouth.
Although it was normal for even Jin Jaseong to get angry if he heard such an insult in general.
Jin Jaseong is not angry now.
Instead, what was enveloping Jin Jaseong's entire body was a chill. And fear.
Looking at the dark blue energy flowing from Seocheon's body, Jin Jaseong could not say anything, as if he were a frozen person.
