Chapter 36: Heavenly Demon Divine Cult (2)

The heavy sunlight rays have become bearable, but the scorching heat was still not low.

In this situation, a black-clad figure stood bewildered and furious at the inn's door.

He was one of the important and a respected informer from the lord's side.

Even if he goes to the wise clan and sword clan they treat him without any malicious intent.

But here, in this broken inn and low-level area, he has been ignored.

And the most difficult thing for him to digest was that a new Elder had slammed the door on his face.

However, what can he do to an Elder-level martial artist?

He decided to return to the courtroom of the cult while his face was furiously twisting.

A pure hatred and killing intent surged from him, he wanted to kill the newly appointed Elder.

But how can he do the task of killing an Elder with his meagre strength?

So he has decided to badmouth Ryoung in front of the Lord and let Ryoung bear the fury of the Lord.

It was obvious that the Lord would think that his Authority had been challenged and would punish Ryoung for it.

But how could this 'important' person know that the lord already has given the order to subdue Ryoung by any means and feed him a blood-sucking worm?

Nonetheless, while this man was sprinting towards the courtroom of the cult, Ryoung was sitting on his bed thinking about something.

'How much more time they'll waste to get here?'

Asked Ryoung to himself in his mind, of course, he was not in a hurry.

Ryoung has the whole time of the world, but that doesn't apply to everyone else.

Ryoung placed these thoughts aside and began to rest for tomorrow.

There was no need to further torture himself by staying awake for the whole night like he had done many times in the academy.

Without thinking much he tried to embrace the darkness.

Meanwhile, in the demonic Cult's courtroom, two figures were present.

One was wearing black attire, while the other one was wearing a beautiful golden robe.

The one wearing a golden robe was none other than Cheon Yu Jong, known as Southern Demon Lord.

The one wearing the black attire was Great Guardian Marakyum, also the master of wind steps.

His speed was unmatched in the cult; if he tried to run, then not even the Southern Demon Lord could catch him.

"I don't think it's wise to confront him face to face, my lord."

The voice echoed in the, silent courtroom; Marakyum's words fueled Cheon Yu Jong's anger more.

He was already very dissatisfied with Ryoung, and some time ago he also got the news of Ryoung insulting his Authority directly.

And now he was listening that they can't do anything to him in a confrontation.

"And how did you reach that conclusion?"

Asked Cheon Yu Jong, raising his eyebrow. He was well aware of the feats Ryoung had done in the academy.

"My Lord his speed should be par on with me, if not more than mine."

Said Marakyum in a calm tone; he had watched the final test and even speculated that it was not Ryoung's full speed.

Cheon Yu Jong's anger flared to a new level; he knew that Ryoung was a genius.

However, what can a newly sprouted root do? That arrogance was paying back.

Cheon Yu Jong liked to take things under his control and exert his Authority in every way.

But now he faced an outsider whose past couldn't be found no matter how hard they all tried.

"Make it happen by any means, and this is the second time I'm saying this."

Said Cheon Yu Jong with anger seething on his face.

He clutched the armrest of his chair and it turned into pieces immediately.

"My lord, I'm waiting for an opportunity to take his mother and vanish Without getting caught."

Said Marakyum while bowing his head, he wanted to explain to Cheon Yu Jong that he shouldn't meddle with that monster.

But if he had voiced his opinion, he could have got caught.

Because he has extracted his Yin and Yang worms.

It was not that he had solved the problem with this worm, but he had replaced the remaining worm with a fake one.

Now even if the Lord try to harm him, he can't.

"We will hold his mother captive and force him to eat the blood-sucking worm."

Explained Marakyum, his plan was not flawless, but it was the maximum they could do.

Cheon Yu Jong nodded his head and closed his eyes.

Time flew by, and the next morning came; Ryoung took a bath and was in the middle of choosing his clothes to wear.

Tap Tap Tap~

He heard noises of steps, advancing towards him.

After some seconds the door of his bedroom opened with a thud.

Thud ~

Turning his head Ryoung saw his Aunt coming in.

He was wearing nothing except the bathrobe.

She came and said with a cheerful expression on her face.

"Today I'll choose your clothes; after all, my son is going to an important meeting."

Her voice was like melodious music; Ryoung listened and smiled slightly.

He thanked his Aunt in his mind because he couldn't choose what to wear.

Ah Rim began to look for something fancy; ruffling the clothes, she took out a golden yellowish robe.

It has engravings of some petals and a sword.

This was also made by Ryoung's tailor, Baek Yun Ji.

He donned the clothes and was about to go when suddenly a hand rested on his shoulders.

"Are you going like this, your hair is messy."

Said Ah Rim with a scolding voice, Ryoung sighed and took a seat.

She began to organize the hair, after doing the comb and tieing it with a golden ribbon.

He was looking gorgeous, his body that was the epitome of man beauty, his blood red eyes and his black silky hairs.

"Now you are looking perfect, this is how a man should dress."

Said Ah Rim, Ryoung smiled and said in a calm voice.

"Aunt, I'll be late if i waste more time."

Ah Rim didn't said anything and just waved her hands.

Ryoung also began to walk to the lobby, he have to go in today's meeting.

As he exited the inn a voice like a mosquito came.

"Don't stir trouble, and respect the lord."

The voice was uttered by Ah Rim in a slow tone.

However Ryoung being a Enlightened Grandmaster also called Mystic realm, how could he miss it.

He heard very clearly what she said and a smile formed on his face.

"I'm not the type to stir trouble first, but if he tried to cross the limit.."

" There'll be a blood bath."

Murmured Ryoung, he walked with a normal pace, his destination was the courtroom of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult.

After some time Ryoung reached the courtroom, it was a magnificent building standing at the top.

Ryoung entered the courtroom and saw all Elders were present.

Only the lord and he, Ryoung himself were absent.

And the absurdity of coincidence, Cheon Yu Jong and Ryoung both entered the room at once.

Ryoung hurriedly took a seat reserved for him, that was previously for Bu Chu-Ryong.

Bu Chu-Ryong was not weak, instead he was strong.

His strength was only third in the Elders and 5th in the Whole Heavenly Demon Divine Cult.

Nonetheless Ryoung sat on the chair, and Lord also sat on his grand chair.

"Greeting my lord."

"Greeting my lord."

"Greeting my lord....."

And like that all of the Elders present there bowed their heads and greeted Cheon Yu Jong.

Cheon Yu Jong waved his hand and sat on the chair comfortably.

"Today's first agenda is of The demonization technique."

Announced Marakyum the Great Guardian.

Simultaneously all Elders began to talk about their own opinions.

Tine flew by and the meeting lasted for more than 3 hour.

The sun was already near the middle of sky, when they started the meeting.

And now the sun has already passed the middle, meaning It was time of Afternoon.

As they were about to conclude the meeting, Marakyum spoke once more.

"There is one more thing, it is about Elder Ryoung."

"Lord has considered your position and you'll be given the post of commander of lord's personal army."

As his voice dissappeared many Elders frowned, they were all from six clans.

And the real meaning behind Marakyum's words were easy to understand.

'Serve our lord and you'll get fame.'

And the hidden meaning was that they could gain a upper hand against six clans.

Because Elder Ryoung's prowess was considered at par with the third strongest Elder.

"I have to humbly decline my lord."

Ryoung spoke and the whole room became silent.

"Can you elaborate your reasons Elder Ryoung?"

Asked Marakyum in a stern voice, he was considering in his mind that they have not to resort to abduction of Ryoung's mother.

But the situation is indeed demanding it,he has alredy sent his men to do the work.

Because Marakyum has got the news that his lover and subordinate were in the market.

This was the best chance to dodge the inevitable.

"My lord I'm making my own clan, so i ask your forgiveness."

Answered Ryoung, but there was no hint of sorry in his voice, it was pure clam.

Next second a terrifying pressure descended upon them, the Elders were choking.

Some of them were kneeling on the ground, but Ryoung was unharmed, sitting on his chair.

Seeing no effect on Ryoung, Cheon Yu Jong was burning in fury.

He wanted to cut Ryoung's body and his life here.

But thinking about how he can break Ryoung's mind after capturing him, a creepy smile formed on his face.

"I understand your concern Elder Ryoung, you have the right to decline the offer."

Cheon Yu Jong stood up and waved his hand, saying.

"The meeting is concluded, all of you can return."

Ryoung didn't stayed there anymore, he stood up and disappeared from there sight.

[Marakyum, did you notice his movements?]

Asked Cheon Yu Jong with telepathy also known as whispering technique.

[Yes my lord, his speed is indeed faster than me, if we fought ot will be ver hard to subdue him]

Answered Marakyum with whispering technique.

Cheon Yu Jong also exited and returned to his abode.

But the murmurs of Elders were intensified more.

"Have anyone noticed Elder Ryoung's internal energy?"

Asked one of the Elders, his question was not for everyone but the Elder of Wise clan.

"I couldn't sense it, it was like there's nothing in his dantian."

"More importantly i can't even follow his movements."

Said the Elder of Wise Clan, it was indeed a blow to their egos.

However in front of extreme strength, there's nothing they can do.

While they were terrified by Ryoung's prowess, Ryoung was alredy in his abode.

He stood in the lobby floor, waiting for his Aunt's warm welcome.

'Strange, why isn't anyone in home?'

Ryoung closed his eyes and spreaded his internal energy, covering the whole street.

Strangely he couldn't find anyone in the street, nor his aunt was anywhere.

He sensed two familiar life forces, they were in his room.

Going there he saw Mun Ku and Baek Yun Ji clutching a paper.

Their anger was on another level, he couldn't put the reason for their behaviors.

Announcing his presence he asked in a calm voice.

"What happened, why are you angry."

They both turned their heads and ran towards Ryoung.

"my liege, mother is nowhere to be seen, and we found this letter on the table when we came from market."

Ryoung listened to them and frowned, snatching the paper he read it aloud.

"Come and take your mother in 8 hours or you can't find her in this world."

As his voice faded a suffocating pressure came, the paper evaporated from his hands.

The whole room was filled with a thick killing intent.

[How will he rescue his aunt, find it in the next episode of dragon ball z (just kidding)]
