Reincarnation of the Demon - Chapter 18
Only Noblemtl
The devil (2)
Cheonma (天魔). The one with that crazy nickname appeared in the Central Plains at some point.
In the Central Plains, divided into white and black, right and wrong, and entangled in countless ways, demons have always existed.
Evil martial arts.
Such as sucking out other people’s life energy or stealing their energy and blood to increase strength, or going against the flow of heaven by opening the upper tian first.
In conclusion, all martial arts that exude magical energy are called magical arts.
However, there was no central focus among those magicians, so when they learned magic, their minds became unstable and their desires became extreme. How could those who were mad serve their masters?
but.
One day, Cheonma appeared at the highest peak of the shamans’ sect – the place where Hyeonhwajinin, the head of the shaman sect, resided.
It is not known exactly what happened that day.
However, what the people of Jungwon know is that, behind the secret battle between Hyeonhwajinin and Cheonma, the shaman faction decided to seal the gate for ten years.
And the point was that someone who called himself Cheonma appeared in the Central Plains.
Tian Shan (Heavenly Mountain). The Heavenly Horse is nestled on the sacred mountain right next to the Kunlun Sect.
For some reason, all the demons who had mastered magic headed to that mountain.
Those who were enchanted by the name Cheonma, those who were in love with the martial arts that defeated the leader of the shaman sect… these mentally unstable people gathered their strength around one central point.
As a political party, it could not have been anything other than an emergency.
The symbol of the Gupaebang and the Odaesega never lost its power, even though the constituent sects within it changed. However, unlike them, the evil ones did not gather, so it was indeed an era in which the righteous sects wielded their power.
The pretext was perfect. The eradication of the devil. The gathering had begun.
Those from the Jeongpa faction gathered in Shaanxi and formed the Pama Alliance.
It was an emergency situation for the Sapha warriors. It was obvious that the alliance that had destroyed the magic sword would not disappear immediately.
However, the Sapa failed to gather, and the Pama Alliance, which had gathered strength in Shaanxi, advanced to Tianshan.
The momentum of the Parma Alliance was so powerful that it pierced the heavens. It was a collective movement of over ten thousand martial arts masters.
It was natural for the imperial family to regard it as a disgrace and a danger. But even the emperor could not stop them.
Sword Master Dokgo Jinhan, Great Light Monk Heo Un, and Plum Blossom Rain Sword Cheongmyeong Jinin. With the three highest ranking figures of the Jeongpa together, the momentum could not have been low.
That’s what happened when they arrived at Kunlun in Qinghai, the final gateway to Xinjiang.
Cheonma came down from Cheonsan Mountain alone and confronted the three of them.
Jeong (正), and especially Do (道), never attack together. However, the moment they saw Cheonma, these three began to attack together without hesitation.
The Kunlun Rebellion. It was the first step of the Heavenly Horse and a major incident that turned the Central Plains upside down.
At the top of Kunlun, the sky collapsed and the earth turned upside down, and neither the demons nor the sages could be unaware of it. It was a battle from a myth.
The result was a case of both winning and losing. No one died, but no one was killed either. No, at least that’s what the people in the righteous faction said.
But that didn’t mean I could hide it.
[Cheonma is someone who can fight the best masters of the Central Plains one-on-three.]
Just because of that fact, the magicians throughout the Central Plains began to rush towards Cheonsan even more.
Parmaeng didn’t hesitate. No matter how strong Cheonma was, it was clear that he had inflicted internal injuries. No one knew that human wave tactics were effective.
They immediately advanced again.
The battle between the Parma Alliance and the Shinheung Cheonma Shingyo took place like that. If you only look at this battle, it would be more correct to call it the Jeongma War rather than the Cheonkwang War.
“But in any war, there has to be a loser and a winner.”
A strong wind blew.
Many people died and were killed, but as is the case with the fights in the Central Plains, it was the fight between the top superhumans that brought the fight to a close.
In addition to the white doctor, the Jeongpa had many doctors who valued chivalry, and the sects generously provided elixirs and elixirs. This means that it was relatively easy for the three masters to treat internal injuries.
But Cheonma wasn’t like that.
A newly created religion. Even the members of the church were lunatics who had mastered different types of magic. There was no way there would be a council for the most powerful.
It definitely should have been that way.
However, the one who greeted the three masters climbing Cheonsan was Cheonma (天魔), who had recovered all his internal injuries and had reached a higher level.
The medicine that contained the essence of the sect was not able to match the skills of a single magic doctor.
Donggwijin was dead. Geomjon was dead, and Daegwangmyeongseung lost both arms. The only one who was still healthy was Maehwawoogeom, but even he was seriously injured.
After being struck by the Plum Blossom Sword during the season of the Heavenly Horse, Cheonma disappeared down the cliff. At least, that was Plum Blossom Sword’s testimony.
“The people of the sect were furious. Since the devil had resurrected the devil from hell, their anger was bound to reach out. But the problem was that there were too many people who had received the grace of the devil.”
The magician did not discriminate between the true, the false, and the demonic. Despite his nickname, there was no one in the Central Plains who did not recognize his medical skills.
When Jeong and Ma were killing each other, Saman was quietly guarding his position. And all those touched by Ma were considered top-class players in Sapa.
“A battle of pure magic that only resulted in harm to both sides. While other sects were trying to reconcile their power by resolving their grudges with Demonic Cult, only two or three sects stepped forward to hold Demonic Cult responsible.”
So Cheon-hong said, avoiding his index and middle fingers.
“Namgung and Nak. It was natural for Nakga to come forward. After all, Ma-ui had brutally killed Nakga’s grand duke. However, Namgung’s participation was unexpected.”
It is very well known that the Taesang family head of Namgung was able to reach the state of Cheonilhapil thanks to the help of Ma-ui. However, for some reason, they instead pointed their swords at Ma-ui.
There was bound to be criticism. But the party, as always, ignored it.
But even they couldn’t help but be surprised, because the Sa-pa, which had been unmoved by the power of the devil’s cult or the political faction, rose up for just one member of the assembly.
“From then on, the Sasangs did not stay still. The Southern Man’s Mad Blood Sword Master, the Northern Sea’s Ice Palace Master, and above all, the Heavenly Fist Master. This was something that even the Jeongpas could not have expected. The Sasangs’ heavens stepped forward to save just one member.”
“They came forward?”
Yongwoon asked with a bitter taste. Socheonhong nodded.
“At first, everyone was nervous, thinking that Sapa was going to surprise the hesitant Jeongpa, but their demand was simple: the return of the demon.”
Yongwoon drank his tea quietly.
“Because of the strong momentum of the Sapa, there was a heated debate even in the Jeongpa. But it was already too late. Ma-ui was dead.”
Yongwoon unconsciously scratched the table. It was a story about my death. There was no way he wouldn’t be concerned.
“Namgung and Nak’s monopoly. The message that Pamamyeong had sent to them a long time ago was killed by someone. However… Cheonghae was too far for Sapa’s sky to reach.”
‘Did you come forward…?’
Yongwoon swallowed a sigh. When he died, it was true that he felt betrayed. Of all the factions, the one he had the most connection with was definitely the evil one.
“The death of the demon doctor caused such a huge ripple effect. In some ways… even more than that of the Heavenly Demon. The Great Rebellion of Cheon-gwang. It was largely because of the demon doctor that it was called the Great Rebellion of Cheon-gwang instead of the Great Battle of Jeong-ma. Those who took him as their companions on his journey to the afterlife… were so powerful.”
So Cheon-hong swallowed hard as if he was absorbed in my story. It was indeed a talent worthy of a storyteller.
“Namgung Hui, the head of the Namgung family. Nak Mun-cheol, the head of the Nak family. Pyeon Hui-han, the head of the Ma Kwon household.”
These were familiar names.
‘I guess I couldn’t save him in the end.’
Because they were the last test I sent to the Meng Kyeon Dan, the guy who was always jealous of me.
“They were all masters of Cheonilhapil. At the banquet held after Cheonma disappeared, they all fell down bleeding from Chilgong at the same time. Then, seven days and nights later, on the same day at the same time, they all died. It was the devil’s doing.”
So Cheon-hong said with shining eyes.
“It’s not just them. No matter how outstanding the magician’s medical skills were, he was just a doctor. But would you believe that the doctor single-handedly killed Namgung’s chief swordsman and Nakga’s vice-chief?”
“I believe.”
“Oh, dear. That’s how it was. The three who accompanied Ogijowon’s magician on his journey to the afterlife were Cheonilhapil and Cheonyeongi-gyeong. All of them were martial artists whose names were known to everyone in the world.”
“In the end, the world was turned upside down. At that time, some people even claimed that the devil was more of a devil than the devil himself.”
By eliminating Cheonma, the Jeongpa was able to gain justification even if it meant shedding blood. It was no different from cutting off the head of the Demonic Cult.
But how can this be called a victory when two of the five major political factions lost half of their power out of nowhere due to one member of parliament?
“The death of the demon… Sapha was furious. The enraged Kwon-Jun killed the Gunwoonghoeju who had tried to stop him. However, Kwon-Jun did not stop there. He gathered the enraged Saphas and formed a huge alliance called the Sadogyeon (邪道聯).”
The original name was supposed to be Shin-ui-maeng (信義盟), not Sado-ryeon (사도련). However, while the Jeongpa was at a standstill due to the bloody battle with the Demonic Cult, the Sapa gathered its strength, so it was inevitable that the world would be divided into three.
“It is a famous anecdote that the Parma Alliance tried to change its new name to the Murim Alliance, but was stopped by Kwon Jong who appeared in Shaanxi. That day was also the day that Kwon Jong earned the nickname of Pae Jong.”
Yongwoon nodded. But it wasn’t like he didn’t move. He felt a sense of satisfaction because a group that encompassed the world was born from his death.
‘…no.’
We shouldn’t be satisfied with this. Then what’s the difference from the previous life?
‘You must be thirsty to reach the sky.’
Yong-un got up from his seat. He was going to the guest room to get some energy. As he moved, So-cheon-hong also released his sleepy expression and came out of the table.
Suddenly, Yongwoon asked Socheonhong.
“What do you think of magic?”
“I am a member of the Open Party. I cannot affirm the magic that saved Cheonma.”
Immediate answer. Yongwoon smiled faintly.
“From the way you speak, it doesn’t seem like that’s what you’re feeling.”
So Cheon-hong answered with an exaggerated expression as if he was caught.
“Openness deals with information and strategy. Openness’s dog-beating formation is unparalleled. But how can someone who deals with such strategy not acknowledge the devil’s will?”
“Strategy?”
“The magician’s mysterious appearances, his medical skills. He even arranged for revenge on Nak-ga and Nam-gung in advance. He is the one who single-handedly brought down the two great families of the Five Great Clans. When my teacher taught me about the ‘fear of humans,’ the example he gave was this magician. My teacher likened the magician to the Chinese character for evil (惡).”
“Evil?”
“It is said that the most frightening evil is evil without malice, and that is what is meant by evil.”
‘What a good teacher.’
Yongwoon laughed inwardly. He was not wrong. As a magician, I have never once moved with the intention of harming anyone.
I just got blood on my hands because I had a purpose, because I wanted to survive, because I wanted to reach the sky.
‘Is this a tantrum…?’
In fact, his struggles were not over yet. As Yongwoon, he would not rest until he died.
“But why are you going to Hubei?”
“To learn my first martial arts skill in life.”
“yes?”
