“Hmm.”

Heavenly Demon Wijicheon looked at the wound covered in half armor. Although the wound was not visible to the naked eye, the energy of the lightning that had penetrated the palm still remained centered around the wound.

As always, Witchen attempted to use the Black Dragon Ki to drive out the energy of the lightning.

However, Illoe’s energy did not budge like an iron needle stuck in Wi Ji-cheon’s palm.

‘It is truly an exquisite talent.’

Wijicheon, the Heavenly Demon, once again measured the energy of the lightning in his hand. In terms of absolute quantity, it was an energy that could never be said to be small, but compared to the Black Dragon Energy possessed by the Heavenly Demon, it was only insignificant.

However, the Heavenly Demon had not been able to extract the energy of that insignificant lightning until now.

There was nothing that couldn’t be pulled out if one just pushed hard, but the mystery inherent in this trick was too much of a waste to do so.

Today as well, the Heavenly Demon shook the energy of the light in his palm and delved into its mysteries, while at the same time thinking about the guests he had invited today.

‘Noegeomnangin.’

From what I heard, he uses powerful sword skills to kill with a single blow.

The connection with the unknown was clear beyond any doubt.

“Hmm.”

Cheonma recalled the meeting with Unmyeong and the exchange they made immediately.

Bulmyeong and Cheonma did not make any promises.

However, Cheonma thought that a promise had been exchanged with Bulmyeong.

A way for warriors and warriors to converse by discussing martial arts.

Although it was only a one-time move, the Cheonma, who shared the palm of his hand with the unknown, felt the unknown will that left scars on his palm.

I treated you like a treat, so please don’t get in between Jeong-cheol and Ho Cheon-an while your wounds are being treated.

‘I guess he was worried about Sason.’

Cheonma must have received a gift called Illeu, and he respected that unknown will.

As long as Il-roe’s wounds persist, he has decided not to interfere with Jeong-cheol and Ho Cheon-an’s affairs.

Originally, the information about the unknown person that Jeong-cheol requested should have been handed over, but the timing of handing over the information was postponed.

Instead, he provided Jeongcheol with a stable training environment to compensate for the delay in providing information and to separate him from Hocheonan.

Ho Cheon-an is also working as a novice, resolving the chaos in Sichuan Province.

The Cheonma arranged the situation as he wanted and nodded.

As it was, an environment where one could concentrate only on releasing Illoe’s energy was completed, so all that was left to do was to chew, open, taste, and enjoy the gift left by Bulmyeong.

The Heavenly Demon tried to concentrate on quietly dispelling Illoe’s energy.

The situation has taken a turn to not allow the Heavenly Demon to remain silent.

‘I never thought my daughter would bring Ho Cheon-an to the Demonic Cult.’

Wei Ji-cheon stroked his chin while thinking of Wei Seo-lian.

The successor to the Heavenly Demon God.

Originally, the position of Cheonma was not inherited through blood relations.

The position of the Little Heavenly Demon belongs to someone who has learned the Heavenly Demon Divine Technique.

Among the young people of the Demonic Cult, those with qualifications are thoroughly and thoroughly selected to select successors to the Heavenly Demon’s Demonic Art. Those who acquire the Heavenly Demon’s Divine Art will become the Heavenly Demon’s adopted sons and rise to the position of Minor Heavenly Demon.

However, Wi Seo-ryeon was Wi Ji-cheon’s biological daughter.

For the first time in the history of the Heavenly Demon Church, a biological child of a Cheonma ascended to the throne of Socheonma through generations.

Perfectly flawless Socheonma.

The status of Wi Seo-ryeon, who possessed the True Blood of the Heavenly Demon and at the same time mastered the Heavenly Demon’s Divine Gong, was so high that it was impossible to find a comparison object compared to any other minor Cheonma of all time.

Wi Ji-cheon was secretly proud of such Wi Seo-ryeon.

Since my own daughter has proudly won the position of successor, what father could not acknowledge such a daughter?

but.

It should be said that this problem began with the fact that Socheonma Wi Seo-ryeon was Wi Ji-cheon’s biological daughter.

Wi Ji-cheon recalled the time when he was Socheon-ma.

‘The previous Heavenly Demon was more like a senior and a junior than a child and a parent.’

Cheonma and Socheonma originally had that kind of relationship.

Aside from the commonality of having learned the Heavenly Demon’s magic, there is no such thing as a relationship between the Little Heavenly Demon and the Heavenly Demon in the first place.

Therefore, Little Heavenly Demons usually stayed quiet until they reached the position of Heavenly Demon.

Wi Ji-cheon also lived relatively quietly in the Demon Cult until he became a Cheon Demon.

However, Wi Seo-ryeon, who became Socheonma, was in a completely different situation from Wi Ji-cheon.

First of all, since he was Wi Ji-cheon’s biological child, Wi Seo-ryeon did not need to pay attention to the feelings of the Heavenly Demon Wi Ji-cheon.

In addition, the timing of utilizing the power, assets, and manpower of the Demonic Cult was so fast that it could not even be compared to the time when Wijicheon was Socheonma.

In a way, this was natural.

Since I was young, there was knowledge I learned one by one looking over my shoulder.

From the moment Wi Seo-ryeon ascended to Socheonma, she naturally had the foundation to skillfully use all the power that could be used as Socheonma.

The Heavenly Demon smiled bitterly.

They say they never stop worrying about their children, but is being outstanding a problem?

He knew that Wei Seo-ryeon was curious about his wounds and guessed that he would conduct an independent investigation.

However, Wei Ji-cheon did not reveal the unknown identity to Wei Seo-ryeon, and he thought that even that would not be enough for Wei Seo-ryeon to find Ho Cheon-an.

However, Wi Seo-ryeon demonstrated capabilities that exceeded Wi Ji-cheon’s expectations.

He succeeded in secretly finding Ho Cheon-an, avoiding Wi Ji-cheon’s attention.

Did you just find it?

They even invited me to this magic school.

It was an embarrassment to Cheonma, who thought that all measures against Hocheonan and Jeongcheol had been completed.

‘This is what my daughter did, and since the situation has changed, I also have to think about Jeongcheol and Hocheonan anew.’

That is why the Heavenly Demon called Hocheonan and Heukmyo.

How should we treat Ho Cheon-an?

This was because I planned to make a decision after seeing Hocheonan’s actual appearance.

“Socheonma, Hocheonan, a female swordsman, and Black Cat, a Sacheonnang, ask for an audience.”

“Please stop by.”

Cheonma looked at the three people coming in.

First, I noticed Wei Seo-ryeon, who looked full of dissatisfaction. Wi Ji-cheon slightly raised the corners of his mouth and then lowered them as he looked at him with a rough look as if telling him not to take away the toy.

The next thing I looked at was a black cat.

‘That’s amazing.’

Is this what a beautiful woman of the Gyeongguk region would be like? Her beauty was enough to make it understandable that all the Demonic Cult warriors would draw their swords and fight over this woman.

Of course, Cheonma’s admiration was not simply due to the beauty of the black cat.

I was impressed because I noticed the oral pronunciation organs of the black cat and saw the potential of the black cat to completely handle such oral pronunciation organs.

Wei Ji-tian took his gaze away from the black cat, who made eye contact with him and flinched, and looked at Hu Tian-an.

‘Hmm.’

Resembles.

As soon as Wei Ji-cheon looked at Hao Cheon-an, an unknown name came to mind. The bodies were similar, but…

The eyes were truly intense.

Even though he had a vague idea of how enormous the Heavenly Demon was, the look in his eyes that was looking at possibilities was clearly the same as that of the unknown.

The eyes of a hunter who never gives in to fear no matter how gigantic a being is in front of him.

Within Wei Ji-cheon, the evaluation of Ho Cheon-an went up one level.

“I heard that you were my daughter’s guest. I heard they are called by the nickname ‘Noegeomnangin’?”

“…Yes. At the invitation of Socheonma Wi Seo-ryeon, I entered this demonic religion.”

“I see.”

Suddenly, Wi Ji-cheon became curious about the basis of Ho Cheon-an’s confidence.

Does Ho Cheon-an know about the unspoken promise made by Bulmyeong and Wi Ji-cheon?

The evaluation of Ho Cheon-an was divided as to whether he knew about the promise or not.

“Do you know that I have encountered your thoughts?”

Ho Cheon-an was shocked. Watching Ho Cheon-an suppress his surprise in order not to show any loopholes in front of Heavenly Demon, Wei Ji-cheon realized that Ho Cheon-an had no idea about his confrontation with Bulmyeong.

Nevertheless, did you accept Socheonma’s invitation? Is this the result of cool-headed calculation, or is it just Manyong who left himself to the momentum?

Cheonma became curious about that.

As Wei Ji-cheon was staring at Hao Cheon-an, Wei Seolian stepped forward.

“Isn’t Hocheonan’s school of thought a school of thought and Hocheonan’s Hocheonan?”

“Hmm.”

Wei Ji-cheon thought while looking at Wei Seo-ryeon’s angry eyes.

‘Is it fate?’

Cheonma thought she had done enough to keep her promise to Bulmyeong. He kept quiet even to his family and even tried to keep Jeong-cheol and Ho Cheon-an apart.

Nevertheless, Wei Seo-ryeon, who was curious, brought Ho Cheon-an to the Demonic Church.

fate.

It was a result that could only be said that way.

“Hocheonan.”

“…Tell me.”

“Your founder and I have made a promise.”

When Wei Seo-ryeon saw Cheon Ma clenching his fist, he felt that the promise was related to the wound at that time, but Ho Cheon-an, who had no way of knowing what Bulmyeong had done, had no way of knowing what Cheon Ma clenching his fist meant.

“It is the duty to welcome you, who is publicly my successor and privately the guest of my daughter, as a guest of the Church of the Heavenly Demon, but it will be difficult to keep that duty. However, as a guest of Socheonma, I will not be involved in any way with your stay at this Church of Cheonma.”

“…Do you dare ask what the promise is?”

“Can’t answer.”

Cheonma looked down at Hocheonan and thought.

What would happen if I controlled the Il-roe that had invaded my body and then relayed the current situation to Jeong-cheol?

Ho Cheon-an would immediately be in trouble.

Since he was a guest of Socheonma, he would be safe within the Heavenly Demon Church, but the moment he left the Heavenly Demon Church, he would immediately become a target of Jeongcheol, so he was unintentionally putting Hocheonan in crisis.

“Later, I will summon you to discuss the matter of the agreement.”

So, Cheonma decided to give Ho Cheon-an a chance before that.

‘How you make use of this one opportunity is up to you, Hocheonan.’

“I hope you achieve what you want by then.”

Cheonma looked at Hocheonan and smiled slightly.

Will Hocheonan be able to seize that opportunity? When I saw the eyes that looked exactly like Bulmyeong, I was excited.

Ho Cheon-an thought while looking at that ominous smile.

Life in the Demonic Cult will never be easy.
