d see those were not words that were simply exaggerated.

“I can turn a person who has the potential to become the Sect Leader into nothing.”

Let’s die together.

With his body he might not rise to the best position in the world, but…

“You…”

It was possible to bring someone down with them.

This force had stopped the invisible energy around him, and now instead there was a green glow.

“The moment the seal on my body is lifted, great sahyung will die by my hands.
This is a fact, not just a warning.
But then, who will benefit the most from such a thing? Well, it has to be second sahyung,”

“…Ugh.”

“Is that what great sahyung wants? Are you such a person?”

“…”

The First Disciple didn’t respond to this man who might explode at any moment.

No, this man is a ticking time bomb, and if the seal was undone both would die.

So now he had to step down but… that is too shameful.

I… to this bastard!

To step back means to surrender.

His pride which was as high as the sky couldn’t let it happen.
The others might not know that, but it didn’t matter.

To the First Disciple that was his highest priority.
He didn’t want to die, but didn’t want to bow down either.

So he couldn’t do this.

Jjjkkk

A huge energy charged through the air and flew between the two, and in an instant when both didn’t back down…

Chng

“…!”

“…!”

Something else came in and intervened, pushing the two back.
An old man short in stature stood there.

“Excuse me.
I apologize for the intervention; however, my lord has earnestly asked you to withdraw your energies right now.”

Shh

He first bowed to the First Disciple and then to the Earth Demon.

“Fourth Disciple, this old man requests of you, please pull back your energy…”

“Hyang Gae…”


The First Disciple cried out.

He was a vassal who followed him, and he is a Supreme Demon warrior, ranked 10th.

This person served the First Disciple and was known to be able to control that attitude of his.

But he was a person who was generally quiet and never did anything out of character.

Shh…

When the two men recalled their energy, the place went silent, and it was a silence that most would find disagreeable.

“Thank you.
I will surely repay the favor shown to me.”

Hyang Gae once again bowed to the Earth Demon.

“…It was nothing.”

“My lord will think about what happened.
Can we head back?”

It was a good thing to say this.

“…”

These words were something the First Disciple could never say.
In addition, confronting the Fourth Disciple was not something he would like to do at the moment.

It was the same for the Earth Demon.

“Sure.”

“Thank you.”

After saying that, he slowly turned around and approached the First Disciple and said something.

“I understand.”

The First Disciple gave a short answer and nodded his head as he stared at the Earth Demon who was a little farther.

Bang!

He turned around and vanished.

“Wow… fuck.
I thought I would die from heart failure.”

At the atmosphere which had finally died down, the Second Disciple looked pale.

But there was a faint smile on his lips.
This was a situation where he had nothing to lose, so he seemed rather happy.

“My sajae let’s meet next time,”

“Right.
Do not be so angry! I was so shocked!”

Both the Second and Third Disciple vanished, leaving him alone.

“The first time…”

The first time he expressed his emotions.
He forcibly put up with their words as he clasped his hands in fear of the First Disciple.

He thought he would die for sure this time.

He

“Earth Demon!”

Cheon Kwang was running.

As the other disciples left, he came running.

“Right.”

The Earth Demon looked at him and smiled.

“Cough!”

He coughed up blood at the pain of his organs twisting within.

“Lord!”

“…Right.
This is the limit.”

The Earth Demon began to stagger to get up.

Even if it was just one brief moment, the curse was terrible.

He felt the pain of everything within being twisted but…

“No more, no more groveling before them.”

He spoke these words as if they were an oath to his escort who was worried.

His body was clearly in pain, but his mind was completely stable to the point where he thought dying like this would be fine.

No more being treated rudely.

“Hahaha…”

Earth Demon had laughed genuinely after a very long time.

“Are you saying you will attack the troops of the First Disciple?”

Seol-Hwi questioned the plan of the Earth Demon.

In the current situation he wants to go against the First Disciple and not the Third Disciple?

It made no sense considering how high the risk was.


“Why?”

“That is because we can get the strength of the Third Disciple.”

“…?”

Seol-Hwi tilted his head.

To beat the First Disciple he can get troops from the Third Disciple? What was this?

But the trainer looked at Seol-Hwi.

It was as if he was figuring out his thoughts.

“…My eyes are not bright enough to read the situation.
Could you explain?”

“The captain here is still too young.”

The trainer had a bit of a regretful look and he spoke,

“As I said before, the core strength of the Third Disciple are recluses.
I think they are helping the Third Disciple under the command of the Heavenly Demon.”

“So?”

“In other words, they do not have absolute loyalty to her.
Because of her role, they just cooperate.
That is, if another disciple could actually take over her role…?”

“…!”

Goosebumps rose on Seol-Hwi’s body and his eyes went wide.

“The core power of the Third Disciple will come to us.”

The man continued.

The Fourth Disciple, the Earth Demon.
He is fearful and weak to everyone.

However, he wasn’t well known to people, and he was the one who had been made to crouch down and handle the tantrums of the First Disciple.
What if people came to know he was standing face to face with the First Disciple?

The recluse warriors will show interest, and maybe even the Sect Leader might change his opinion as well.

Time changes things.

The passive figure began to look into the eyes of danger and aim for the future.

He had the determination to take action when the time came.
Above all, it was possible to deal a major blow to the First Disciple who was the chosen one.

People are always like this, sticking close to walls, ready at a moment’s notice.

Those who can no longer make progress, those who cannot rise to a higher level, and those who are not interested in more power.

What they have in common is that they are talented people who want to enter closed training to refine their martial arts.

Among them, there are warriors who went beyond common sense.

Chun Mi-ryeo, used by Seol-Hwi as an excuse, is one of them.
So, they wouldn’t be motivated to change their side that way.

In the end, the situation looked fine.

If a person who was considered to be useless wanted to stand up, then it would be refreshing.

“Everyone will be cheering.
Even the old ones will have their blood boil.”

“It is said that the effect is greater because they are considered weak.”

As Seol-Hwi mumbled, the trainer nodded.

“Right.
The Earth Demon is planning to use a large number of warriors like that to subdue the First Disciple.”

“Then can we get something out of it? The First Disciple will not be that easy.”

“Of course.
But the First Disciple will not be able to use their core power.
If that happens, there will be a power gap and the Second Disciple will not stand for it.”

The reason why the battle hadn’t been fierce until now was because of the strange relationship between the First and Second Disciple.

The power the First Disciple had was rated a four, and the power of the Second Disciple was rated a three along with the Third Disciple being rated a two.

Here, if only the Fourth Disciple attacks the First Disciple, then the First Disciple couldn’t fight back with his full power.
All because of the Second Disciple.

“Rather than fight back, we can hold hands.
And if you add four to one, it becomes five.”

“Hmm.”

A sword sharp enough to threaten the enemy and be a reassuring ally.
The Earth Demon was looked down on because he wasn’t a threat, and he constantly lowered himself.

“If they show their worth, they tend to bury the enemies by holding hands.
So, after taking in the recluse warriors under us, the Fourth Disciple who had just one point in power…”

The trainer raised three fingers.

“Will have three.”

Triadic system.

The power balance turns stable with Third Disciple being caught by her ankles.

And that stabilization happens only if they can get the old men under them, and that means they need to show that the Fourth Disciple is a more stable source of power than the Third Disciple.

This was the big picture.

“Then who will I be dealing with?”

This was the main point of importance to Seol-Hwi.

“Of the five pavilions, two.”

And he continued,

“Remove the Supreme Pavilion Lord and the Wu Tian Pavilion Lord, both of them.”
