Becoming the Swordmaster Rank Young Lord of the Sichuan Tang Family Chapter 263

Episode 262. The Heavenly Demon Sword Master’s Secret

Xinjiang, the Tian Shan (天山) located at the westernmost part of its barren and vast land━

There, an unseasonable silence fell over the main temple of the Cheonmasin Sect, which had been established for a long time comparable to the history of Shaolin.

It’s a given.

At this moment, the only one alive and moving was the head of the Sacheondang family.

‘It’s a total disaster.’

Dang-myung thought as he walked. I didn’t expect it to be this bad.

I was convinced that the silence that had descended upon me was not limited to the main headquarters of the Cheonmasin Church.

‘I don’t feel any presence at all.’

Originally, there were many large and small demon clans in the Cheonsan Mountains, including the Demon Sword Reformers, the Demonic Gongsun Clan, and the Demonic Yang Clan. Of these, the Demonic Yang Clan, which had clearly made the lives of the common people of Xinjiang extremely miserable, was personally visited by the leader of the Zhengtian Alliance, and was annihilated without a trace, but the other demon clans were not touched.

What was the original goal of this new campaign?

The situation where the left and right demonic sect members who had been pursuing the retreating Kunlun and Gongdong suddenly died━ This was an unexpected fact for both the Jeongma and the Ma to use to deal an irreversible blow to the Cheonma Sect. Since two masters of the highest level of magic died at the same time, it was inevitable that a huge vacuum would have occurred in the power of the Demonic Sect headquarters.

It was a move by the leader of the Zhengcheon Alliance to prevent the Xinjiang Demonic Cult from invading the land of Sichuan during the Zhengma Battle that broke out in the middle of the Central Plains.

And at this point, the biggest blow that could be inflicted on the Demonic Cult would be, needless to say, taking the life of the leader of the Cheonma Sect, Yeon Mu-yeol. It was obvious that he didn’t waste time on other Demonic Cult members or other scoundrels. The word “quick and easy” was also engraved in his mind like a seal.

But the silence that fell over the Cheonsan Mountains at that moment meant one thing.

‘It would be reasonable to assume that the nearby magic clans were also annihilated.’

It wasn’t hard to guess why.

The last spell cast by the Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol was the Wide Area Invitation of Demons – that incredible spell would have caused the death of everyone within the area who possessed even a small amount of demonic energy.

‘thank god.’

Dang-myeong looked up at the hearing and thought. He continued to attack again because he was confident that the hearing could block the magic of the demon cult leader, but in the world, there were often cases where things went differently than expected due to various variables.

The reason why he took action even though he was not sure that he could neutralize the demonic possession of the Greater Area of the Golden Magic was because he judged that he had to kill the leader of the evil cult now, even if it meant making some sacrifices. It was a matter of eradicating the root of the evil that had taken deep root in Xinjiang. He thought that he had to do it even if many commoners fell into the possession and died. If he could not do it, there was a high chance that more commoners would suffer for a long time.

Of course, as the successor to the Sacheondang family and the owner of Jeongcheonmaeng, he also wanted to completely eliminate any future troubles. There was also a part of him that wanted to avenge his mother.

‘Isn’t that something that’s natural for a human being?’

Although he was aware that the principal was involved in a matter that could have had tens of thousands, or perhaps even more, of lives at stake, he felt no particular remorse for his decision.

He lived his whole life as a swordsman in order to reach the realm of swordsmanship, but at the last moment, he regretted that life.

In the life given to me once again, I just wanted to live an ordinary and comfortable life. My thoughts were completely different from those of the promising young people of the same age. I had no intention of becoming a gentleman or a great swordsman, nor did I have any sense of mission. I just thought of myself as going through the process of getting rid of things that were hindering my new life.

‘It looks like the magic realm is limited to the area around Cheonsan.’

Before he died, the Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol was quite good at using his tongue, but Dangryunmyeong’s spirit was still strong.

Meanwhile.

‘It’s done!’

In the sky, the blue light that had been shining brightly made Cheonggyeom feel secretly delighted.

Although it was because of the magical item called the Burning Power Talisman, the large-scale demonic possession that the Demon Lord had unleashed was truly enormous. In an instant, it expanded its area to the point of casting a shadow over the entire Cheonsan Mountain, and it expanded its range very quickly.

Hearing was cutting. If he hadn’t used his hands, this magic would have definitely affected the entire Xinjiang region. It contained the power to do so.

The large-scale retrograde dragon formation spread out in the Topgeukrapmagan desert wasn’t even like this… … !

So naturally, the level of hearing that had to be consumed in order to reduce the range of the Geumsul wide-area introduction of magic was also bound to be enormous.

Even as a hearing being who possesses the ranks of the evil spirits captured from all over the world over hundreds of years in the Cheonmasingyo, even after consuming all of those ranks, the scope of the wide-area demonic possession is limited to the vicinity of Cheonsan.

But that’s why hearing it brought joy.

His goal was to completely exhaust the qualities of a hypocrite.

This was originally something that could not have been avoided. Because rank (格) was one of the essential parts that made up the two-faced mania along with the mind (念).

However, Cheong-gyeong, who had started to transform into a completely new being by accumulating ranks to the limit that he could as a two-faced man, did not perish even though he had exhausted all his ranks. This also served as proof that he had become a being that no longer relied on ranks as a two-faced man.

The next moment.

‘This……!’

Hearing was thrilling. As he exhausted his status as a two-faced man, he finally felt a new status. And it was something he had experienced all along.

That was when.

“Come back. Hearing.”

Suddenly, the order was given.

Cheonggwang, who had been sucking in the dark clouds in the middle of the sky, descended sharply to the ground. The food spirit Cheonggyeong was returning at the command of his master.

‘What a pity.’

Heung-gyeong felt a deep sense of regret as he realized that he still could not go against the words of the obvious. Now, even though he had become a completely new being, not a fool, it seemed that he could not escape the existing contract of subordination.

As usual, the sound seeped into the arm of the obvious and gave the idea to the auditory sense.

[The scale of the magic that the Demon Lord has inflated is so vast that reducing it to this extent is the limit.]

“Well done. This is enough. That’s why I brought you here. The realm of magic won’t expand any further from here, right?”

[The magician who is the leader of the magic cult is already dead, and the driving force for the expansion of magic has been castrated to my level. You don’t have to worry about that. The remaining remnants of magic will naturally disperse over time.]

“That went well.”

[It went well… …?]

“It looks like the area of magic that the Demon Lord has used is limited to the area around Cheonsan. Is that right?”

[But.]

“Then the nearby demonic families would have been affected as well. They say that if you fall into a demonic possession, you will most likely die. I was worried that I hadn’t been able to sort it all out, but if I could get rid of them all at once with the help of the demonic cult leader, then it would be a good thing.”

No, it’s beyond my expectations━Dangryunmyeong continued speaking.

“There was such a commotion in the heart of the Demonic Cult. I don’t know for sure, but it’s reasonable to assume that there was a family that sensed the trouble and dispatched troops. It would be even more so because of the incident with the Madokyang family. In addition, there’s a possibility that they have many of the masters of the previous generation who have hidden their existence like Shaolin.”

Dang-myeong recalled what he had heard from Jawoon.

━There are still many great monks in the main temple of Myeonbyeok-dong who have not yet entered nirvana. They are people who never get involved in worldly affairs, but if Shaolin is in danger, they will break their seclusion and come out.

The history of the Xinjiang Demonic Cult is comparable to that of Shaolin. It would be strange if what exists in Shaolin did not exist in the Demonic Cult.

Given the nature of the magic martial arts, it would be extremely difficult to live a long life without reaching the ultimate state of being able to overcome demonic possession, but it would also be difficult to conclude that the demons of the previous generation did not exist at all.

“Those possibilities have been eliminated all at once. Of course, they won’t pose a big threat to me, but they will certainly be quite a hindrance at a time when there is still work to be done. It’s not pleasant to be delayed any longer.”

[……indeed.]

Hearing was amazed. Who would have thought he had seen that far ahead? Although quite some time had passed since he had been with Deungmyung, his insight, which was often revealed, still had aspects that surprised hearing.

[But there’s still work to be done? Weren’t you supposed to be going back to Sacheon?]

He asked curiously. From what he had seen, Dang-myeong was always a person who put the safety of his mother and family first. That was why he had guessed that even after defeating the supreme leader of the Xinjiang Demonic Cult, he had moved on without any particular feelings.

It was not strange. People with the Dang surname tended to place a high value on blood relations.

‘Muyeonggaek, that guy was like that too.’

Although he was born in Salsu, he had a very cold-hearted side, and perhaps because he had lived alone with no one to rely on his entire life, he greatly treasured the family he had formed late in life and the blood relations that came from it. This became the family tradition of the Sacheondang family.

His sharp hands and poisonous heart, his extremely closed habits compared to other martial artists, and his customs such as taking in sons-in-law could also be understood in the same context.

But, to the question of hearing, Dang-myeong shook his head.

“No. There’s still work to be done.”

[to do?]

“This new invasion was decided before the Great Battle of Jeongma so as not to leave any regrets. So we must root it out to the end.”

Dang-myung-myeong took a step forward with an answer. As if he had used a new method, the surrounding scenery quickly passed by. Dang-myung-myeong …

The Heavenly Demon’s Way Worker Reveals His Teachings

A signboard with splendid gold letters on a dark background was hanging at the entrance to a cave. The cave was revealed only after passing through the cult leader’s hall where the cult leader would have lived on a daily basis and entering deep inside.

‘Is this a place that was formed naturally?’

The very existence of the cave was not strange, after all, it was part of the foothills of the great Tian Shan mountain range.

The phrase on the signboard reminded me of Janggyeonggak in Shaolin. The fact that the phrase “Cheonha Gongbu Chul Shaolin” (天下功夫出少林) was engraved there was so famous that anyone in the martial arts world would know it.

All martial arts in the world originated from Shaolin.

Some people criticized this passage as a direct expression of Shaolin’s arrogance, but Dang-myeong thought that it was not entirely wrong. Of course, he did not think that Shaolin’s Buddhist teachings were the foundation of all martial arts, divided into the right, wrong, and evil.

It is true that Shaolin compiled the basics of martial arts, such as the forms, and the methods of using weapons to perform martial arts, so it was simply an acknowledgement of the influence it had on the martial arts world for a long time.

Anyway.

Anyone who looked at it would guess that the magic and martial arts were preserved there. In addition, there were quite a few people lying dead in the area. This was a part where you could tell that the security was originally very tight.

‘Thanks to the Demon Lord’s tantrum, things have become easier in many ways.’

Dang-myeong thought about it again and took out his dagger, Baek-seol.

Hurrruk!

A deep green flame burns in an instant. The manifestation of Ganggi (罡氣).

Just below the signboard, at the entrance to the cave, there was a door made of cold iron without any gaps. Depending on the thickness, it would generally require the use of a strong weapon to easily cut through cold iron.

Where on earth did the Demonic Cult get the iron that was hard to get even in pieces, and how did they process it to make an iron gate like this? ━ In his thoughts, Dang-myeong swung his sword here and there.

Evil━

Evil━

The refined steel blade, loaded with might, cut through the iron gate as easily as water, and soon Dang-myeong made a hole large enough for one person to enter and exit, and entered the cave.

As soon as I entered, my hearing began to mutter and thoughts flowed out.

[This is a secret vault created through magic.]
