Genius Martial Arts Trainer Chapter 354

◈ Heavenly Demon (2)

The Demonic Cult, which had destroyed the Kunlun Sect in Qinghai, advanced southeast and arrived at Sichuan Province.

Sacheon. The region where Liu Bei, the first emperor of the Shu state, established his base, and is a strategic location.

In fact, even during the Great Battle of Jeongma forty years ago, the Demonic Cult was unable to advance beyond Sacheon Castle.

It was also due to the fierce resistance of the Murim Alliance that was formed after the collapse of the Kunlun Sect, but Sacheon Castle was a difficult place to conquer in the first place.

Geographically, it was the same, but above all, there were three huge sects in Sacheon.

Cheongseong, Ami, and Sacheondangga.

While the three sects held out by taking advantage of their geographical advantages, the Murim Alliance broke out and the fierce tug-of-war of the Jeongma War ensued.

In the end, Cheonma fell into a trap and lost his life, ending in defeat.

In that sense, Sacheonseong was a place with various meanings to the Demonic Cult.

“I don’t see a single baby ant.”

The demon cult members who entered Sacheon with a mixture of tension and excitement felt only a sense of emptiness.

That doesn’t mean there really weren’t any people.

However, not a single person who could be called a ‘murim person’ was in sight.

Even, there was no one to stop them.

“Tch. Those cowards.”

Doma, who had been planning to make Ilgongja a great horse by making merits in this war, clicked his tongue as if he was disappointed.

The monk Gwangmyeong, who had been moving beside the chopping board, opened his mouth in a calm tone.

“Ami and Cheongseong were defeated in the last civil war and entered Bongmun, and Dangga gave up Danggata to block Sincheon and joined the Jeongmu Alliance.”

In other words, the current Sacheon is no different from an uninhabited mountain.

At the words of the left-hand man, Doma laughed bitterly.

“Kuuuuu. Then now is the time to wipe this place out. First, how about we attack Ami and Cheongseong who entered the sealed gate?”

The left-wing man shook his head at Doma’s words, which seemed to indicate that he was impatient because he couldn’t fight.

“There’s no need to waste time dealing with those rascals.”

In order to carry out the directive of the Lord immediately, he had to attack Jeongwumyeong and Namcheonhoe, so he could not waste time in Sacheon.

However, there is no need to reveal such intentions.

“Since the vile traitors of the Central Plains are gathered in one place anyway, wouldn’t it be okay for the rascals to deal with them after they’ve all been wiped out?”

At the left-hander’s words, Doma nodded with a regretful expression.

“If you are a master and a servant, you can achieve great things without having to deal with the little guys.”

“Hahaha. You’re saying the obvious.”

At the insignificant words of the left-hander, Doma laughed heartily as if his mood had been lifted.

The monk who was looking at the chopping board smiled faintly and turned his head.

‘How convenient it would be if other guys were as stupid as this guy. Tsk.’

Where his gaze was directed, the heads of the Hwanga and Geomga families were sitting.

* * *

The main force of the Demonic Cult, which had passed Sacheonseong, arrived at Shaanxi Province.

Shincheon’s plan is a decisive battle.

That is, by using the Demonic Cult as a consumable, they attacked the main base of the Jeongmu Alliance and weakened its power.

The main force of Shincheon, including Cheonju, was moving to conclude the political alliance.

And by finishing off the remnants of the Jeongmu Alliance and the Namcheonhoe that had lost their headquarters, they were aiming to unify the martial arts world in an instant.

Naturally, for this, the main force of the Demonic Cult had no choice but to move directly towards the outer county of Shaanxi Province.

‘Even though the Four Thousand are neutralized, I didn’t know they would open the way so easily.’

The left-wing monk who was leading the demonic cult couldn’t help but have such doubts.

And as we passed the entrance to Shaanxi Province.

After the battle at Kunlun Mountain, they had been marching for nearly six days, and now someone was blocking their path.

They were a group wearing non-uniform clothing and had different flags flying all over the place.

The largest flag fluttering in the center had the word “Jeongmu” written in heavy script.

It was the Jeongmu Alliance that finally revealed itself to block their advance.

In a way, it was natural. Since they had already advanced to Shaanxi, the distance between here and the main camp of the Zhengwu Alliance was at most two hundred li.

It was an incredibly long distance for the commoners, but for the experts, it was a distance they could reach in an hour or two.

‘The day when a new heaven opens is not far away!’

Lee Dae-ju So-baek looked ahead with a pounding heart.

Now, if we just sweep them away, weaken the power of the Demonic Cult, and further pour the remaining forces of the Demonic Cult into the Jeongmu Alliance, the day will come when God opens a new heaven.

As he imagines a happy future, the moment the left wing is about to order an attack.

“Gwangmyeongjwasa! New guys have appeared from the south!”

Suddenly, a new group began to approach the cultists.

The left-wing officer thought they were new reinforcements from the Jeongmu Alliance, but as soon as he saw them, he felt something strange.

“How dare they!!”

“How shameless to use the flag of the new religion!”

Ironically, the new members were using a flag that was similar to the symbol of the Cheonma Sect with the word [魔] written in large letters.

Naturally, the gaze of the demon cultists could not help but be directed towards the newcomers rather than the Jeongmu Alliance.

“Who are you guys!!”

As the impatient Doma shouted with all his energy, the men’s camp became chaotic, and three men stepped forward.

Before the men could even open their mouths, the cultists could sense their true identities.

“They are apostates!!”

“You’ve finally joined hands with those hypocrites!! You vile bastards!!”

Guyangpae and Geumyanghui. And even Byeokgawan.

Those three were famous people that at least the cultists would know, so their identities were immediately recognized.

And amidst their hostile gazes, Goo Yang-pae stepped forward and opened his mouth with his internal energy.

“It’s been a while, followers of the new religion.”

It wasn’t a loud voice that would blast your eardrums, but it spread equally to everyone.

Just from that simple greeting, you could tell how high his level had risen.

And while everyone was surprised, Goo Yang-pae boldly made a shocking declaration.

“I came here not to do with those hypocrites over there! I came to purify the religion and ascend to the throne of the Heavenly Horse!”

As the demons reacted in various ways to his shout, the impatient Doma stepped forward and shouted.

“You’re talking about the Heavenly Horse while you’re an apostate! You’re definitely crazy!”

Even while facing the chopping board that seemed ready to attack at any moment with its sword drawn, Goo Yang-pae was quite relaxed.

“I am not an apostate. There are true apostates.”

“Huh. How well does someone who disobeyed the orders of the school and hid in the south talk?”

“Instructions from the doctrine? The only one who can give me instructions is the Heavenly Demon, the Heavenly Demon. But where is the Heavenly Demon? And who are the ones who caused the followers to split up and lose their strength while fighting each other while the Heavenly Demon is away?”

At Guyangpae’s remark, some of the demon cult members’ gazes naturally turned to the guardians on the left and right.

And then, realizing that their gaze was irreverent, they quickly looked away.

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

At that moment, someone’s soft laughter broke the silence.

The owner of that laughter was none other than Gwangmyeongjwasa.

“You have changed a lot, Chil-gong-ja. When you received help from me as a child, you were happy, but now that you are in danger, you betray your benefactor. Do you know the word ‘ungrateful’?”

Unlike other princes and princesses, Gwangmyeong Woosa treated Guyangpae, whose mother was not from the Sadaema family, kindly, unlike Gwangmyeong Jwasa, which was treated rudely. This is a well-known fact even within the Demonic Cult.

When Gwangmyeongjwasa laughed and pointed out that part, Guyangpae also laughed leisurely.

“So I was also deceived. However, now that I know the truth, it is not like that. The apostate is controlling the church on behalf of Cheonma, so I left the church for a while to build up the strength to punish the apostate.”

Before the Left Secretary could say anything in response to Guyangpae’s words, a new voice joined the conversation.

“It’s true. It’s an interesting story.”

When Goo Yang-pae turned his head towards the direction where the voice had come from, Geomma was there, looking at him with his arms crossed.

“Do you mean to say that you believe the author’s words now?”

When Usagi asked Geomma if he was in a bad mood, Geomma answered in a blunt tone.

“Is there any reason not to listen to what the Seven Princes say, whether it is true or false? If it is false, why don’t you just kill them after listening to them? Or is Woo-sa afraid of the Seven Princes?”

“… … .”

When Usagi momentarily looked speechless, this time Jusagi spoke in a relaxed tone.

“Good. I’ll give it a try.”

Naturally, all the cultists’ eyes turned to Guyangpae.

And in front of everyone, Goo Yang-pae calmly revealed the truth.

“The truth is simple. The So-Baek who occupies the position of the Left Commander is actually a lackey of the organization called ‘Shin-Cheon’, and the Right Commander has been reduced to a puppet due to the Left Commander’s loneliness.”

While everyone was looking dumbfounded at the sudden announcement, Geomma asked Guyangpae.

“What evidence is there to support that statement?”

“There is countless evidence, but the biggest evidence is this. A few months ago. When Ilgongja and Igongja came to Namman together to punish us. Among them, there was a fearsome master who could control both yin and yang.”

While everyone was puzzled by the unexpected content, Goo Yang-pae continued speaking.

“I was also injured in his surprise attack, but barely survived. And later, after capturing and interrogating the Red Flame King, I was able to find out that the man had joined the group disguised as a regular believer under the orders of the Left Master, and that he was called ‘Little Heavenly Lord.’ This means that the son of the leader of the New Heaven, the Lord of Heaven, was disguised as a believer under the orders of the Left Master.”

And before the guardians on the left and right could answer, Guyangpae immediately turned his head towards Gongja Lee, who was next to Hwanma, and shouted.

“And I also know that Yi Gong-ja has seen So Cheon-ju’s martial arts in Nanman.”

Naturally, everyone’s eyes turned to Lee Gongja.

And at that very moment, Guyangpae sent a message to Hwanma.

– Wouldn’t it be better to hold my own, rather than watching the evil deeds of the guardians of the left and right, or handing over the throne of the Heavenly Horse to the Taoists?

Despite the sudden sound, Hwanma was not flustered.

– What do you believe in that makes you want to join us?

– I mean, there’s no need to lie. If I think I’m going to fail, why don’t I just cut the rope then?

After a brief moment of hesitation, Huan Ma sent a message to Gong Ja.

And the scholar who received the news of the magician’s return immediately nodded.

“What the Seven Princes said is true. I have seen a man in Nanman wearing the uniform of our school, performing a martial art that has nothing to do with our school. As the Seven Princes said, it was a martial art that used both the Yeolyangjigi and Haneumjigi. However, I have never heard that he is a Socheonju or that he is related to Shincheon.”

It was an answer that took sides to some extent, but drew a line appropriately.

As soon as the scholar finished answering, the swordsman’s voice rang out without fail.

“The evidence is insufficient.”

The swordsman’s hand, which had opened its mouth as if acting as a mediator, was already pointing towards the handle of the sword.

“If there is no evidence beyond that, you are nothing more than an apostate.”

At the sight of the sword horse ready to come out at any time, Goyangpae laughed heartily.

“Hahaha. People tend to believe what they want to believe. What I’m trying to say is that the guardians of the left and right might be apostates. And since when has our new religion ever persuaded others with words?”

As he spoke, Guyangpae drew his sword with a movement that was incredibly natural and shouted.

“So! I will apply for a life-or-death battle to reveal the truth. Guardians on the left and right, please come forward. Now, as one of the Seven Princes, I am applying for the Heavenly Sacrifice.”

Cheonseongje (Heavenly Festival).

It was one of the most special rituals in the Demonic Cult that values ​​the logic of power, and was a ritual to select the Heavenly Horse.

To be exact, it is a ritual to challenge the Heavenly Demon.

As it was a demonic cult that revolved around the logic of power, it could be said that it was a legitimate challenge for the strongest to become the Heavenly Demon.

Of course, it was rarely actually used.

First of all, those who ascend to the position of the Heavenly Horse learn the Heavenly Horse Divine Skill, which can be said to be the symbol of the Heavenly Horse.

It was nearly impossible to defeat the greatest martial artist in the Demonic Cult, Cheonma Shingong.

And in the case where the position of the Heavenly Horse was vacant, he would have to deal with the left and right guardians at the same time in place of the Heavenly Horse, but this was also a challenge close to impossible.

This was because there was no one within the Demonic Cult who was skilled enough to deal with those two at the same time.

The heads of the four great clans were at best on par with one of the two, or one or two levels behind, so there was no need to even discuss the other princes.

The tradition that everyone thought was meaningless was brought forward by the Chilgongja Guyangpae, who was considered an apostate.

And was it because of that kind of courage that I liked it?

The corner of the mouth of the swordsman, who seemed ready to draw his sword at any moment, slightly turned upward.

It was a rare smile from the usually blunt Geomma.

“What will you do? Guardians on the left and right.”

At the same time as the swordsman asked, everyone’s eyes turned towards the guardians on the left and right.

“How dare a traitor talk about the Heavenly Spirits! Before the guardians of the left and right, he must overcome me first!”

Thomas suddenly screamed as if he was having a seizure.

If things continue as they are now, the next Heavenly Horse’s position will naturally go to Ilgongja.

As a doma, I couldn’t forgive Guyangpae for suddenly using his right to challenge without following the order.

“Haaap!!”

The moment Doma swung his sword by surprise, the sound of the swordsman’s voice was heard through Doma’s ears.

– Be careful!

Since Ilgongja had experience fighting against the Guyangpae in Nanman, he gave a warning in a hurry, but it felt a little too late.

The pottery filled with a tyrannical spirit was overflowing along the chopping block.

bang!!!

And then, the gray lightning surrounding the sword of the swung Yangpae clashed with it, creating a loud noise.

bang!!

Every time the sword of Doma clashed with the sword of Guyangpae, the energy surrounding the sword began to rapidly fade.

bang!!

Every time, Doma quickly gathered energy from his dantian and poured his inner energy into the Dao, but he couldn’t hold out for even five rounds and Doma’s Dao was cut off.

Crunch!

Daegyeonghan Doma quickly shouted at the head of the seat and tried to respond.

However, he could not move his body.

Before he knew it, Guyangpae had spread his magic and taken possession of his blood.

The four families representing the Demonic Cult. Doma, the head of the Four Great Demon Clans, was subdued in just a few attacks.

When everyone was looking at Guyangpae with speechless faces at the shocking sight.

Goyangpae, who had subdued Doma, raised his sword and aimed it somewhere.

“The guardians on the left and right, come forward.”
