I Reincarnated as the Crazed Heir Chapter 109

Episode 109: The Great Heavenly Emperor (3)

Mo Yong-hui’s questioning arose not from malice but from interest.

The interest in Zhuge Tong, the senior of the Fenglongdae who reunited with him in the Demonic Cult, was the starting point.

Mo Yong-hui did not even go up to the annex and only stayed in the basement.

It was largely because he, a shaman and a political figure, felt uncomfortable facing the figures of the Demonic Cult.

Thanks to this, his interest naturally turned to Zhuge Tong.

‘You are no different now than you were then.’

The Zhuge Tong he saw was still the same, even if his tone was different.

I woke up at a certain time and repeated the same actions until I went to sleep.

Since he was a person who did not need to have any physiological functions, it was not difficult to know Zhuge Tong’s every move.

One day, such a dull and boring day repeated itself, and it was one of those days when everyone was asleep.

Grumble, grouse.

‘senior……?’

The sound of wheels rolling was heard in the basement of the palace.

As we walked out following the sound, we saw the back of Zhuge Tong, who had never gone out before, rolling his wheel and disappearing after Biro.

Mo Yonghui followed without any suspicion, and that was where he first felt something strange.

Kookung!

The wall opened, and Zhuge Tong stepped inside. There was a veil within the veil.

‘… … This place itself is a secret, so why would they hide the path? More importantly, why did they make the path this big? Where did my senior go at this hour?’

After a while, as if nothing had happened, the wall closed again, leaving only an empty alleyway.

An unknown ominous feeling flashed through my mind.

And the next day.

“… … They say there were zombies at Miinbong Peak, so how about we start looking there?”

“……i get it.”

The party leaders who had gathered at Somyeong Palace scattered in all directions at his advice.

Yul-Tak, Eul-Ha-Ryeong, Cheon Se-Min, and Geum-Gi-Dae went out to Subong to conduct a large-scale investigation.

Everyone followed without question, but Mo Yonghui was not convinced.

‘Each of the princesses is capable of commanding the world. So of course there is nothing to worry about. However, anyone who knows the senior cannot understand this action. How can he divide his power when there is an unclear opponent called the Heavenly Palace? Isn’t he someone who does not rule out even the worst case scenario?’

It only took a moment for doubts to turn into suspicions.

Murong Hui went to see Zhuge Tong that night.

A shabby, spacious room with only one bookcase. He was turning the pages of a book.

“What’s going on?”

Zhuge Tong spoke coldly without even raising his head.

“Even the young leader knows about this?”

“What are you talking about, coming here all of a sudden in the middle of the night?”

“Does the junior sect leader know that the party leaders have been kicked out?”

“… … Wasn’t it the order of the sect leader in the first place? To investigate the Heavenly Palace.”

“This is definitely not what he wants.”

“I have given you full responsibility, so there is no need to reveal personal matters.”

“The Great Emperor will soon be here. How can it be a personal matter to send everyone away without even knowing what the other party is doing in this situation? Please tell me.”

Only then did Zhuge Tong raise his head in response to Murong Hui’s urging. His eyes were as cold as his tone.

“Have you forgotten your duty because you became a zombie? You pathetic bastard.”

“senior!”

“Whoever dies or who rises, what does that have to do with us? After all, they are just dogs of the Demonic Cult.”

“Senior, no way… … .”

“Even though it is a subordinate relationship, as long as you don’t tell lies, there will be no problem. If the leader asks, don’t say anything useless and just hand him this letter.”

“What the hell are you doing!”

“Power does not disappear, but moves. It is natural to row along the waterway. Murong Hui. Do not forget your duty. They are the devils. They will destroy the Central Plains at any moment.”

“senior…….”

“I will find a way to free you before I eliminate the cult leader. Until then, just keep quiet.”

*Mo Yong-hui turned his head after finishing his long speech. It must have been because he felt sorry for not being able to stop his senior.

My current mood was bleak. My senior had turned his back. The fate of the clansmen was uncertain, and there was a high chance that the Great Heavenly Emperor had set a trap and was waiting.

If the opponent is a senior or a reporter, it will not be an easy fight.

“Oh my… … . I’m sorry.”

“What are you sorry about? You’re really clueless and short-tempered, senior. I should’ve told you who I am a long time ago… … . It’s my fault.”

Should I be angry or sad about my senior’s decision? Should I just sit there and brood over why he did that?

No. That’s not my way. I have to respond. I won’t back down.

“Yalutak and Cheon Semin said they went to Subong.”

“I heard so.”

“They probably aren’t dead yet. If they’re seniors, they’ll be prepared just in case.”

“Hmm… … . The other lords… … .”

“… … You know. Seniors wouldn’t do something so reckless as to capture the ultimate masters. We just have to hope that they didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Do we have any chance of winning?”

“Well… … But there are things you don’t know. One is that you were my close friend before you became the Heavenly Demon King, and the other is.”

I am a quantum mind.

“So from now on, listen carefully to what I say.”

I won’t let you have your way, Senior. Never.

Myunggyo Wolbong Crater Lake

“Hahaha, this isn’t an opportunity that comes every day! Grab one of the Hongdeung Yugwa that you can only eat today!”

“Great Swordsman, please go to the best place where you can see the Great Heavenly Emperor and have a glass of Hwangju!”

“Sister, that’s fine. Brother-in-law, that’s fine. Just look at the ring and go.”

“Go get one of those blue duck masks that you couldn’t buy because you didn’t have a black hole!”

The street vendors lined up on both sides were busy promoting their wares by climbing up to the tree branches.

The large road leading into the crater was so crowded that there was no room to squeeze through.

[Are you going to move on?]

I heard the sound of a whistle. It meant that I should spread my lightness and pass. I shook my head.

[No, I will meet my senior first, so go to the Great Heavenly Palace first.]

[I get it.]

After Mo Yong-hui’s presence disappeared, I approached the merchant who was putting on his mask and doing business.

“Oh my, come in quickly… … Oh… … You look familiar… … ? Stay still… … Huh! So, so-so leader… … !”

“… … Quiet. Don’t make a fuss. I really like this mask.”

“yes?”

“I mean, I’ll take it from you. But this isn’t theft. I’ll pay for it someday, so I’ll call it a loan.”

“yes?”

“Okay, that’s it.”

As the surroundings became noisy, I hastily greeted them and quickly picked up the duck mask with its mouth sticking out, then hurriedly climbed the hill to the east.

The trees were thick and the road was rough, so there were few people. As we climbed up to Ilda-gyeong, the plains appeared and the crater lake came into view.

“Wow!”

Even from a distance, the heat of the Great Heavenly Festival is clearly conveyed. It is not too late.

I held back my impatience and slowly entered the red-painted house.

Squeak.

Even in broad daylight, the house was filled with darkness and there was no furniture, and only one person was present.

He was a senior.

Not even ten paces away, I saw Senior Zhuge Tong riding on a wheelbarrow.

My complicated feelings slowly rose to my throat. Why did it happen, who on earth was it attached to? I wanted to ask countless questions.

“Are you here?”

But when I saw my senior talking to me calmly, my heart that had been pounding hardened as if I had fallen into a winter valley.

“… … It’s not too late, is it?”

“It still seems that way.”

The senior raised his eyebrows and looked at the Great Heavenly Emperor.

“I saw the letter you sent. What happened? What about the other heads of the family?”

“I can’t reach you.”

“Since when?”

“It started after the young leader entered and held a small meeting in the main hall.”

“Was there something to discuss?”

“Didn’t you tell me to find out about Cheon-gung? Also, I had to inform Gwangmyeong-gung before the Little Leader attended the Great Heavenly Ceremony. Of course, they weren’t cooperative even then.”

“Don’t you think it’s strange that they suddenly stopped contacting you? They might have fallen into the dark world.”

“That won’t happen. If that were the case, the palaces wouldn’t be in good condition. From what I’ve found out, neither the Geomdan Palace nor the Sangjae Palace. And even the Dokgwae Palace, there was nothing wrong with the archers.”

“No. You could be a liver transplant.”

“Do you doubt me? If you did, you wouldn’t have dragged your crippled body all the way here.”

Sigh. I laughed. As expected from a senior. The answers came out smoothly. But senior. I’m sorry, but it’s not a doubt, it’s a conviction.

“Okay. What do we do now?”

“Whether it was a betrayal or some other reason, the heads of the clans did not attend. However, we cannot necessarily view it as a bad thing.”

“Even the Blood Princess is alone.”

“Yes. Do you see the watchtower over there?”

There were three watchtowers where the senior was pointing. The east and west towers were empty, and only the south tower had a man standing there.

“There are two conditions for the selection of the leader this time. One is to be recognized by the religion, and the other is to determine the superiority among the candidates through inaction.”

“Does being recognized mean receiving support from the princesses or the council of elders?”

“Yes. However, the Young Master has a reason to ascend without such procedures. Even so, the reason he tried to win over the princesses was not because he needed their power, but because he could not turn them into enemies. But what about now? All you have to do is deal with the Bloodless Palace.”

“Easy to say.”

“Are you insecure?”

“It’s hard enough to catch one Yalulcheon, so you’re telling me to catch all the archers? If you say you’re confident, you’re lying.”

The senior didn’t press any further and waited calmly.

I walked over to the side and looked out the window. I could see the priestesses dancing splendidly.

“What about the power of the Blood Palace?”

“As far as is known, there are the Iron Horse Cavalry and the Death Demon Bow Ghost Corps. However, the Death Demon Bow Ghost Corps does not easily reveal itself, so it is unknown how long they are hidden.”

If that were all, that would be fortunate. With his personality as a senior, he wouldn’t have prepared only that. I shrugged my shoulders unconsciously.

The senior continued speaking with an indifferent expression.

“Please climb up to the watchtower with Heukhwaseong.”

“Why? You said I could become a junior cult leader.”

“They won’t admit it anyway. Everyone else will. So you have to get the support of the believers. Incite them to fight against Yelulcheon.”

“Should I respond?”

“He is someone who values his appearance more than anyone else. He will definitely follow suit.”

I nodded. I don’t know what my senior has prepared, but what he wants is for me to become a black star and climb up to the watchtower.

I turned around. The conversation was over. Now it was time to do my part.

Creak. I grabbed the doorknob and opened it. I glanced back and saw my senior quietly bowing his head.

“Someone once said that opportunities last until the end of life. So anything can change. Don’t forget that.”

Thud. The door closed. My heart feels empty.

At the bottom of the hill, a large crowd of people gathered at Daecheonje could be seen at a glance.

Phew, now it’s real. I steeled myself and stepped onto the cliff edge.

I close my eyes tightly and the strong sunlight hits me warmly.

‘Senior, this won’t work. We can’t win this. We lost… … .’

‘You idiot! There’s still time. The opportunity doesn’t end until you die. So you can change it. Use your head! I mean use your brain!’

‘Senior Zhuge Tong… … .’

I slowly raised my eyelids. A refreshing breeze caressed my nose. Hoo, ha. Perfect.

Let’s go now.

To apply for a prestigious school.
