Episode 166. Heavenly Horse

There are twelve angles in the Demonic Cult. The moment the Heavenly Horse announced its majesty, the leader of the Dark Heavenly Cult, the Dark Heavenly Horse Lord, immediately knelt before the Heavenly Horse and prayed that she would become the king of the Demonic Cult.

Cheonma smiled faintly and headed towards Cheonsan. There was no answer, but the Dark Cheonma Army followed her wishes and established the Cheonma Shingyo in Cheonsan.

That’s how the twelve constellations of the Demonic Cult were created, and the ones that boasted the greatest power were the Dark Heavenly Constellation and the Great Heavenly Constellation.

It was a hall of demons made up of the ten demons, Amcheon-gak, Daecheon-gak, and Pocheon-bang, who were made by the unmanned people of Amcheonmun, and it was a hall of demons made purely following the Cheonma.

Daecheongak was the escort unit of Cheonma, and just as the Dark Cheonma Army was in charge of the left protection, the Daecheongakju was in charge of the right protection. However, the most powerful Gak fell apart with the disappearance of Cheonma.

As soon as the Heavenly Horse disappeared, the Great Heavenly Pavilion’s Yojae Jinma also disappeared, and the Great Heavenly Pavilion fell into ruin after losing its two centers.

So, Daecheonjoo couldn’t even attend the highest council of the Demonic Cult. It was because he had lost his escort, and even the nominal chief was a member of the Uihamcheonkyung.

Everyone who was there when the Jeongpa infiltrated tried to run to the three immediately, but they couldn’t.

The moment the Yin Blood Lord was about to step out of the cave, a young man blocked his way.

A slender and long figure. A gloomy and eerie being, like a ghost, from which no prayer or spirit can be felt outside of the body.

The blood-curdling man muttered in disbelief.

“…Daecheongakju?”

The Great Heavenly Lord that the Bloody Lord is talking about is not the current one. He is the previous Great Heavenly Lord, Yojae Jinma. It has been twenty years since he disappeared, nicknamed the Quiet Calamity.

The blood-curdling man doubted his eyes. Then, he suddenly appeared and stopped me.

“What is this…”

As the blood-curdling footnote stopped, the other footnotes who had been puzzled also hardened their expressions.

Yojae Jinma stood silently. His sharp, shadowy eyes seemed to pierce through all the footnotes.

The swordsman stepped forward. He had already placed his sword on the handle of my sword.

“Yo Jae Jin Ma. How come you are here?”

The feeling of being on the lookout was clear. Yojae Jinma. An unidentified monster who had been following Cheonma before the Dark Heavenly Demon Army met Cheonma. The reason why he had suddenly appeared in this place at this time was completely incomprehensible to Geomma.

Yojaejinma, who had been staring at Geomma, slowly opened his mouth. Sima Qian, who had been following Geomma, made a puzzled expression.

“Because my master has returned, I have also returned.”

The footnotes couldn’t understand the meaning of the monster with the sharp eyes for a moment. The Dark Heavenly Demon Lord, who understood the meaning before the others, stepped forward.

The dark demon king drew a line at the corner of his mouth.

“Comrade. That means you also have returned with interest in the status of the Blood Heavenly Demon-”

The Dark Heavenly Demon Lord could not finish his words. It was because of the terrible hostility and murderous intent of the Demon Lord Yojae towards him.

“Huh, huh-”

Even Sima Qian, who had not learned martial arts, turned pale and stepped back this time.

“The Dark Heavenly Demon Army.”

Yojae Jinma glared at Amcheonma-gun as if he was looking at the enemy who killed his parents.

“If you call that piece of garbage made with all sorts of witchcraft a Heavenly Horse… do you think I will worship it like you do?”

The expression on the Dark Heavenly Demon Lord’s face disappeared as if he was looking at something disgusting. Instead, he shook his head as if it was natural.

“As expected. Your fanaticism is still there. So, what does it mean that the master has returned? Does it mean that the Heavenly Demon… is still alive?”

Everyone was startled by Amcheonma-gun’s words. Yojaejinma didn’t bother to answer.

Because Cheonma was already right in front of the Dark Heavenly Demon Army.

“Long time no see, Jincheon.”

A princess with a refreshing gait, worthy of the title of lady of yore.

Until the princess appeared right in front of the Dark Heavenly Demon Army, no one noticed her presence.

“You did something really cute while I was away.”

Her face and everything were not the same as the old Cheonma. She was younger than her and had a more lively expression, but everyone was sure that she was Cheonma.

Because there couldn’t be another woman in this world who couldn’t sense anything from the aura of the best masters of the Demonic Cult and at the same time, showed no weaknesses.

Knock! The one who immediately knelt down was Bocheon-gakju. He also had a sense of reverence for Cheonma from the beginning.

“Oh, my lord!”

The rest did not do so. Even the Black Demon did not bow his head, but only stepped back for a moment, and the Dark Heavenly Demon Lord also just quietly looked at her.

It was only natural. There were almost no people who worshipped Cheonma as a god from the beginning. The magic sects were also interest groups, and most of them had a strong character as a sect.

Although the Dark Heavenly Demon Lord originally worshipped the Heavenly Demon… he did not regard her as a god like Yojae Jinma or Bocheon Gakju.

He asked calmly.

“What kind of sorcery is it?”

“There’s no need to ask. What matters is that I have a new life, and you did something disgusting to my whole body.”

Cheonma smiled as he said that. It was a smile he had never seen before.

“Your expression has become richer.”

“Yes, it is because our souls are mixed. I am very excited, very happy, and the colors of this world seem to be more vivid. I am enjoying it very much.”

Cheonma looked around. The scenery outside the cave was bleak, and the inside was gloomy. Nevertheless, Cheonma looked at it with a faint smile.

The moment Cheonma turned around, the dark Cheonma-gun’s hand moved slightly. Just a little. The reason was that it was a kind of act of looking for an opening, or a chance of victory.

“That made me even more angry.”

As the Dark Heavenly Demon Lord’s eyes widened, he quickly pulled his hand back. Crunch! His index and middle fingers on his right hand were twisted in a strange direction, and his nails were torn off.

“…”

Blood flowed from the torn fingernail. It was an attack that would have blown my hand off if I hadn’t avoided it.

“Jinchon, you’re crossing the line more and more.”

Cheonma still smiled and looked at the Dark Heavenly Demon Army. Bocheonju bowed his head even more, and the rest of the lords hesitated and stepped back.

It is a well-known fact that the Dark Heavenly Demon Lord is the most powerful of the existing masters of the Demonic Sect. Just now, they had no idea how the Heavenly Demon Lord had managed to rip off two of his fingers.

“Where is the monster that fed me my blood? I originally couldn’t make a decision, and I still haven’t, but I came here because I thought I had to kill at least those four.”

Four people? The Dark Heavenly Demon Army ignored the momentary question. That was because he also knew who the monster that had fed him blood was.

“Why didn’t you come sooner?”

“Why should I come?”

“If you had come, our people’s wish would have been fulfilled. If it were the current Heavenly Demon, or rather, the new Heavenly Demon who devoted himself to martial arts, I would not have had to commit such a rude act, and no one would have been able to stop the Heavenly Demon.”

“Didn’t you understand my answer? There was absolutely no reason for me to come here.”

Cheonma shook his head.

“When my parents were swindled by Parakho, when I was in danger of death by a merchant with connections in Beijing, and when I met an old acquaintance, I never demonstrated my martial arts skills, and I never accumulated energy in my dantian throughout my life. From the beginning, becoming a demonic world was your wish. Why should I come all the way here for you?”

“They abandoned us, so we just had to figure out a way to survive.”

“You could say that. It was none of my business whether I created a monster that ate ten thousand people or prepared a war that killed fifty million people. But the fact that the monster was soaked in my blood, and… that it was the devil who caused the demigods. That’s what made me angry.”

Behind Yojaejinma, the corpse of Paekgeukma floated up. Paekgeukma, who had his chest pierced by Danghye and died, had an extremely calm expression on his face, but he was a demon who had been wandering around Mawon for twenty-five years.

The expression on Cheonma’s face as he looked at the demon lord sank.

“The reason I came to Cheonsan was not because of you, but because of Lee Ja. If Yo Jae Jin Ma looked at me purely as Cheon Ma, then Pae Geuk Ma pitied me as a pitiful young girl.”

Cheonma liked it. In the midst of all the faded emotions and colors, Paekkeukma wanted Cheonma to find some purpose and tried to teach him many things.

As a human, Paekgeukma wanted Cheonma to have a choice because he himself had become the best in the world of magic and lost his life.

“To me… he was the closest thing to a father. When he disappeared, I lost another color. I thought he was dead… but you were hiding him in the Demon Garden. And you were training him like an animal.”

There was a smile on Cheonma’s face as he looked at the Dark Heavenly Demon Army, but no one thought it was an innocent smile.

“It’s extremely unpleasant. Anger is a stronger and sweeter emotion than any other emotion. So stick your neck out.”

Cheonma said this while looking only at the Dark Heavenly Demon Army.

“Although my fate as a heavenly horse has faded, I still have the fortune of heaven above me. And the tens of thousands of vengeful spirits and madness flowing in through that connected line are extremely unpleasant.”

“Wait a minute, stop right there.”

The one who stood up was the king who had been watching the whole scene from behind. He still couldn’t believe that the young woman was the Heavenly Horse, but he also didn’t believe that the magic masters around him would put on such a show to mock him.

“I know you feel bad, but the Dark Heavenly Demon Lord is currently the mainstay of the Demonic Cult. The moment you kill the Dark Heavenly Demon Lord, the Demonic Cult’s demons will-”

“Come to think of it, you killed the magician.”

The king’s expression hardened at my interruption, but Cheonma paid no attention.

“This is not a place for a soon-to-be-dead lynx to interfere. There is someone else who will kill you, so don’t interfere.”

It was then that the king’s shadow stirred. The king’s Heavenly Darkness Division, which regarded the Heavenly Demon’s words as a threat, rose from the shadow and rushed at the Heavenly Demon.

Those who had been trained since birth as weapons to protect the royal family rushed at the Heavenly Horse’s neck with their swords pointed at it without asking any questions. Before their master could stop,

Whoosh- A red wave swept through the cave for a moment, accompanied by a hot and lukewarm wind.

Pupupupupupu! Red smoke filled the cave, a blood mist created by the explosion of the five best assassins.

The blood stained the face of the king who was looking at the scene with his mouth open. In that moment, the king, who had not lost his momentum even to the Dark Heavenly Demon Army, hesitated and stepped back.

“My lord!”

Sima Qian hastily assisted him, and all the governors except for Baochuanju instinctively raised their bets.

But no one stepped forward. Everyone just looked around and glanced at each other. They couldn’t decide what to do now.

Cheonma is not the girl he used to follow. She just stopped by for a moment to get rid of an unpleasant presence.

But the Dark Heavenly Demon Army and the King… They were allies in the Demonic Cult, where they belonged. Should they watch the one they originally served kill their own subordinate?

Cheonma smiled faintly at the sight.

“It feels different. It’s nice to see your faces after such a long time. Even though the wrinkles on your face have increased, your calculating look hasn’t changed.”

Thump.

The first to take the lead was the Geumganggakju Jeok-an-gi-goe. He stepped forward first while everyone else was still standing still and muttered.

“I have nothing to do with this fight.”

“Are you running away?”

When Geomma asked, Geumganggakju laughed.

“You idiot. Have you already forgotten that the Jeongpa is currently running rampant in Cheonsan? I will go and stop it, so you decide the rest on your own.”

Even though he was alone, the Red-Eyed Monster didn’t care. He couldn’t help but know where Hyun-Jun was headed, and more than anything else, he wanted to meet the Shaolin abbot.

Cheonma didn’t bother to stop him, and the red-eyed monster passed by Cheonma with a slight nervousness before disappearing.

As Cheonma looked at the Dark Heavenly Demon Lord quietly, a pitch-black light slowly rose from the Dark Heavenly Demon Lord’s hand.

“Do you really have to kill him?”

“Have I ever changed my mind?”

“It won’t be easy.”

Cheonma chuckled.

“Let’s see what twenty years of experience have been like.”

Cheonma took a step closer to the Dark Heavenly Demon Army and stopped abruptly.

“…indeed.”

When she turned around, there was a girl standing at the entrance to the cave. A cold woman with pale skin and a soulless expression.

“Is that it?”

With the gesture of the Dark Heavenly Demon Lord, a bloody light burst out from the Blood Heavenly Demon’s hand.

The Blood Heavenly Horse and Dark Heavenly Horse Army rushed at the Heavenly Horse at the same time.
