Chapter 265
265fury. If you give me an order
Baek Su-ryong sighed. He looked down at the back of Wi Ji-yeol's head, lying flat on the floor..
“Elderly.”
Five body fighting spirit).
The old man was bowing with both elbows, knees, and forehead to the ground, bowing in the highest manner. He didn't seem to feel any shame or embarrassment..
“Let me start with the conclusion. I am not a blood demon. It has nothing to do with blood religion.”
“…….”
Wi Ji-yeol did not move. I held my breath without even taking a breath. As if even the sound of my own breathing was a sign of disrespect, I lay face down and listened to Baek Soo-ryong's words as if I were a stone..
“I'm sorry for lying. At first I didn't believe him, and later I missed the opportunity to talk..”
“……I will obey even if you tell me to pay for the sin of not having faith in the Most High with death..”
As if it wasn't a joke, Wi Ji-yeol took out a dagger from his pocket and placed it at Baek Soo-ryong's feet..
“Okay.”
Baek Soo-ryong pressed his temples with his fingers as if he was in pain..
I've been mistaken for a blood demon several times before..
All of the blood cult masters who witnessed the reverse heavenly attack misunderstood the White Water Dragon as a blood demon. There were times when I used it to dig up information or escape a crisis..
But Wi Ji-yeol was different..
Baek Su-ryong had never shown a reverse heavenly skill in front of him. In the past, he said he was a descendant of a blood lord, but he never did anything that would make him misunderstood as a blood demon..
‘Is it because of this too?.’
White Water Dragon looked at the sword in his hand..
A sword with a subtle blue body engraved with a dragon ascending to heaven..
However, the moment it soaked a drop of the White Water Dragon's blood, the blue dragon engraved on the sword's body turned into a blood-red dragon..
The vibrations subsided, but the feeling I felt in my hand holding the sword was as if I had caught a living creature..
“This sword. Did you react to the reverse heavenly attack??”
“……Yes. Most High.”
Wi Ji-yeol answered politely, still with his forehead on the ground. The voice was trembling.
“Iron was smelted using the secret traditions of the original family passed down from the ancestors who created the Blood Demon Sword. There is nothing in the world that can compare to its sharpness and hardness. However, the true power of this sword can only be brought out by a warrior who has mastered the Reverse Heavenly Art..”
“real power?”
“Together with the Blood Demon Sword, it is unique in the world in that it can fully contain the reverse heavenly attack, and is the natural enemy of all demons, and its sharpness can be adjusted according to the owner's will. If the Most High wishes, even if he swings mercilessly, he will not inflict even a single wound on the enemy..”
Baeksu-ryong knew the name for this type of weapon. He muttered softly in admiration..
“It's a new weapon..”
Wi Ji-yeol hit his forehead on the floor. It was a voice that seemed so moved that it cried..
“I risked my entire life to create a sword worthy of the status of a Blood Demon Lord.!”
“Because it's not a blood demon..”
Baek Su-ryong sighed. I thought it would be a long story to resolve the misunderstanding..
“It is true that I have learned the Reverse Heavenly Art. But it has nothing to do with blood religion. I really just learned it by accident. In a cave arranged by an old blood demon..”
I couldn't tell the whole truth.
How can you say that you are the reincarnation of a martial arts instructor who died decades ago, and that you are also the main culprit that ruined the blood religion in the past?.
But I could clearly say this.
“…… I hate blood religion. If there is a war, I will fight them with this sword. So wake up. Didn’t you also break ties with your blood religion?.”
At that moment, Wi Ji-yeol lifted his forehead an inch off the ground and then hit the floor hard again..
thud-!
“O Lord! Never doubt your loyalty!”
Blood flowed from Wi Ji-yeol's forehead. The forehead was not protected with internal energy..
Baek Soo-ryong opened his mouth wide at that extreme action..
‘I'm going crazy. I'm glad I laid out the trick in advance..’
From the time Wi Ji-yeol said the word "blood religion" from Wi Ji-yeol's mouth, he started acting crazy. This was to prevent the conversation between the two from leaking out..
“Doubt??”
“Instead of working hard for the revival of our school, he cowardly hid in the mountains... … . Even if you think I'm an apostate, I have nothing to say..”
Wi Ji-yeol was completely misunderstood..
From the moment Baek Su-ryong first visited him until now, the old man suspected that Baek Su-ryong had planned everything..
‘Maybe even Cheon Yi’s coin casting was planned.…….’
How deep is your heart?!
Wi Ji-yeol's body trembled as the fear surged deep into his bones..
“Here, I will wash away your sins with death. So please…….”
The old man looked up and there were tears in his eyes. These were the eyes of a person prepared to die..
“Please take away my grandson. He is a very talented child. From now on, I will become the supreme sword and take the lead in unifying martial arts..”
After finishing speaking, Wi Ji-yeol hit his forehead on the floor. I hit it hard several times..
bang! bang! Kwaang!
“Oh, old man! Stop it!”
Baek Soo-ryong stopped him, but Wi Ji-yeol did not stop..
Quang! Quang! Kwaang!
If I left it alone, my head would break and I would die..
Surprised, Baek Soo-ryong grabbed Wi Ji-yeol's shoulder. But Wi Ji-yeol did not stop. If I couldn't hit my head on the floor, I was ready to bite my tongue..
At that moment, there was only one way to stop Wei Ji-yeol in Baek Soo-ryong’s mind..
“Stop! It's a religious order.!”
“……John, n..”
Wi Ji-yeol, who instinctively stopped, raised his head with difficulty. I looked up at Baeksuryong, blood pouring from his forehead. I must have bitten my tongue a little and there was blood at the corner of my mouth..
Baek Su-ryong sighed deeply..
“ha-”
I forgot.
Blood religion is a group of fanatics that cannot be understood through common sense, and Wi Ji-yeol was the head of one of the eight great families who also belonged to the leadership of that group..
He was a man who could end his life whenever the leader wanted..
‘I guess you thought I was testing you all this time..’
Baek Soo-ryong knelt down on one knee in front of Wi Ji-yeol, who was lying face down..
And he looked me straight in the eyes and said. A faint glow appeared in his eyes..
“From now on, I will not forgive anyone who takes their own life or harms themselves without my permission..”
“…….”
Wi Ji-yeol, seeing the Blood Demon Eyes, flinched and nodded frantically..
Baek Soo-ryong, who had made a firm promise, released his Blood Demon Eyes and opened his mouth..
“Listen carefully. I am…….”
Baek Soo-ryong created a story by appropriately mixing facts and lies..
By chance, he discovered the legacy of the Blood Demon in a cave in his hometown, learned the Reverse Heavenly Art, and became an instructor at the Blue Dragon Academy based on his martial arts skills..
The Hyeolrangdae mentioned to Wi Ji-yeol was also made up based on what he learned in the cave, and he even discovered the legacy left behind by Demon Brain in Akingok..
“In Akingok, there were martial arts, treasures, and elixirs left by the demon brain to the later blood demons. At that time, achievements increased significantly..”
“brain!”
Wi Ji-yeol gritted his teeth when a familiar name came up. I saw anger in his eyes..
“Do you believe me now? I am not a blood demon. I was just lucky enough to learn the blood demon's martial arts skills..”
“but…….”
Wi Ji-yeol was confused..
Baek Soo-ryong's words were not entirely correct, but if there was a reason, it was understandable..
After gathering his thoughts for a moment, the old man opened his mouth with difficulty..
His tone was still cautious..
“Even if what you say is all true, it is clear that you are qualified to become the leader of the sect since you have mastered the Reverse Heavenly Art..”
“What on earth does that mean? The blood religion probably already has a leader..”
“……You really don't know.”
Baek Soo-ryong crossed his arms without saying a word. It meant to keep talking..
Wi Ji-yeol spoke calmly..
“As a result of the Murim League's joint attack, the former leader died, and the hateful Murim League burned down the entire church. Most of the elders and heads of families either died or ran away, promising to live in the future. Plan for the future. That was the leader's last command..”
“…….”
It was my first time hearing about Baek Su-ryong..
Most of the people who experienced that war first-hand were martial arts veterans, and even those were just stories..
“The survivors were scattered. But there was no central point to bring them together. This is because the religious leader had no successor. Not only did I have no children, I also had no disciples..”
For some reason, the previous Blood Demon did not take in any disciples, let alone children..
However, because he was a very strong martial artist, there was no atmosphere of concern within the school..
“However, as the leader passed away due to an unexpected attack by the Murim Alliance, the successor to Yeokcheonshingong was cut off..”
“wait for a sec.”
Baek Su-ryong tilted his head and asked..
“Recently, blood religion has been revived. So you're saying it moved without a leader??”
“yes.”
“what nonsense…….”
“Those called apostles appeared.”
“apostle?”
At that moment, Baek Su-ryong remembered what the blood spirit said before he died..
-Ilsado told me to annihilate the Namgung family and bring in the spirit demons arranged by the Yin-Yang Mazon.…….
“I heard that the apostles gathered together the scattered religious forces. I understand that some elders and family heads joined there..”
“Who exactly are the apostles??”
“I don't know either. Except that each one of them has martial skills that can overwhelm the head of the family and the elders, and they are competing by putting forward candidates for the next great religious leader..”
“…….”
“I also received a recommendation. But I didn't join. This is because we could not recognize the religious leader promoted by the apostle as the legitimate lineage of our church..”
“Is that really all there is?”
In response to Baek Soo-ryong’s sharp question, Wi Ji-yeol let out a hollow laugh..
“…… The main family has lost its power. If I went back, it was obvious that I would be exploited until I died. I am not very good at martial arts, and my only blood relatives are my grandchildren. It was so obvious that Cheon would become a hostage..”
Wi Ji-yeol lowered his head..
“So I ran away. I ran away from the Murim Alliance and from the blood cult that was looking for me. I wanted to protect my only grandson..”
That was the end of Wi Ji-yeol's story..
The expression on the face of the old man who honestly revealed all his secrets seemed relieved..
“I attended the head of the Jeondae sect. Although my martial arts skills are limited, I am confident that I have an eye for people..”
“I know. When you first saw me, you said I was an unfinished sword..”
As Baek Soo-ryong grinned and told the old story, a faint smile appeared on Wi Ji-yeol's lips..
“From what I can see, you have inherited the blood demon religion. I have mastered the Reverse Heavenly Art, and I can already see the shadow of the previous teacher in my accomplishments..”
“…….”
Wi Ji-yeol doesn't know, but Baek Soo-ryong saw the former leader in person..
So I knew that that was a huge compliment..
Wi Ji-yeol said in a quiet voice..
“If you wish, you can truly become the supreme leader of the blood religion..”
Baek Soo-ryong shook his head without even thinking..
“I'm not interested.”
“This is not something to be answered lightly..”
Wi Ji-yeol stood up, as if he had decided to do something..
“If you give me the order, I will unite the believers scattered all over the world..”
“What??”
Baek Soo-ryong asked with a puzzled expression. It was an unexpected story..
But Wi Ji-yeol’s expression was serious..
“There will be people like me who oppose the current system. Let's contact them. I would like to inform you that there is a true successor to the Reverse Heavenly God..”
“Elderly!”
“This is your chance to have the world at your feet. Are you really not interested??”
Wi Ji-yeol's eyes were as if they could pierce Baek Su-ryong..
