Chapter 238
Chapter 238: True Successor (5)
The Lord was unleashing his anger as if there was someone there behind the pillar . But there was no one there . Every person in the hall became shocked as they couldn’t sense or see anyone there .
‘What?’
‘W-why is he doing that?’
The Lord’s action was shocking indeed . Yeowun frowned while looking at the Lord truly doing this, and remembered the conversation from yesterday at the peak of Five Wise Peak . Yin Moha asked Marakim then .
‘Great Guardian . Why did you have to change the date to an earlier date?’
‘That is… because the Lord has been pushing me away lately . ’
‘He’s pushing you away?’ Yin Moha asked back, confused . But it was true . Ever since the underground treasure vault was revealed, the Lord looked very suspiciously at the Great Guardian . When Marakim was on different missions outside the office of the Lord’s palace, he now had people watching over him . Marakim then realized he couldn’t act on his own any longer, so he had to change the date .
‘I am reluctant to say this… but there have been problems with the Lord lately . No… I should say he changed . ’
‘A change? What do you mean? Did something happen to him?’
The Great Guardian’s explanation was vague so Yin Moha became curious .
‘Well, we can say something might have happened . ’
Marakim was a Great Guardian who guarded the Lord by his side . That’s why he was quick to find out the change that came to the Lord . And throughout the conversation, Marakim was considering this issue very seriously .
‘The Lord has been very different from what you are seeing right now, Lord Chun Ma . ’
‘…What do you mean?’
‘He may be cold hearted, but it doesn’t mean he holds affection toward the cult itself . ’
‘I am not sure about that . ’
Yeowun couldn’t agree with that . From what he saw in the past few days, the Lord was only making inner groups to fight against each other . With a giant enemy upon them, the Lord should be trying to have all forces to work together, but it seemed the Lord only cared about his own throne .
‘I know it is unconvincing to say it . ’
‘So, what is the change?’
Yeowun asked and Marakim answered grimly .
‘The Lord has been talking to someone lately . ’
‘Someone? Who?’
‘…It’s Prince Chun Yujing . ’
Chun Yujing was a former candidate to the heir in the Demonic Academy, and had lost his arm in the competition, and also a brother of Chun Yujong’s . It wasn’t strange if Chun Yujong was talking to his brother a lot as he lost his trust in Marakim .
‘W-what are you talking about? He talks with Prince Chun Yujing? What nonsense!’
Yin Moha was so shocked and responded dumbfoundedly . Chun Yeowun did not know the reason why Yin Moha was reacting like that .
‘What are you talking about? Why doesn’t it make sense?’
‘… . My prince . Prince Chun Yujing of the Sword clan was killed by Power King Hang Yen in the war against the forces of Evil 15 years ago . ’
‘…What?’
Power King Hang Yen was the strongest warrior who still ruled the forces of Evil even to this day . He had been staying on top of the five warriors of Jianghu for the last 30 years .
’15 years ago? Was it from the Battle at the Sawin Plains?’
The war 15 years ago was quite famous . Demonic Cult tried to hide it, but when Chun Inji going missing was revealed, the forces of evil took the chance to invade into the Cult’s territory . That’s when Chun Yujong, who had not shown his power then, became one of the new top five warrior of the Jianghu .
‘Wait . So, is he talking with a ghost?’
‘…No . My guess is that he is talking to an illusion . ’
‘Illusion?’
Marakim found this out at the battle at Jurkang castle . At the time, he was busy tending to his own wound, but realized that the Lord had changed at some point .
‘The Lord began talking against a wall without anyone, or a dark place . It wasn’t a long talk at the beginning but…’
Time began to grow longer and longer . Chun Yujong spoke as if his dead brother was alive and was staying with him . After witnessing this multiple times, Marakim thought this was a sign that the Lord’s mental health was going south .
‘Something is eating the Lord’s sanity away . ’
‘What do you think it is?’
‘That’s…’
Marakim answered with his guess and Chun Yeowun and Yin Moha became shocked and turned to something . They were looking at the body of Kingbonki .
Chun Yeowun broke out of his thoughts as Bu Churyong carefully spoke to the Lord, who was still unleashing his fury .
“M…My Lord . If I may ask… who are you talking to right now?”
“What?”
The Lord Chun Yujong then stopped and turned . Everyone in the hall had fallen silent already . Everyone was watching the Lord with a concerned look . The Lord then became confused and spoke .
“Why are you all looking at me with those eyes?”
“…We, your servants, are not sure who you are talking to right now . ”
Bu Churyong spoke hesitantly and the Lord dumbfoundedly pointed behind the pillar and spoke .
“Are you trying to fool me?! Don’t you see Master Chun Yujing standing behind that pillar?!”
“?!”
And with that, everyone including Bu Churyong became shocked . They all knew that Chun Yujing was killed in the war against forces of evil and his body was burned .
[Kekeke . This is becoming very interesting . ]
“What did you say!?”
The Lord still clearly saw Chun Yujing standing by the pillar . He was cackling as if this situation was very amusing . This made the Lord become more furious .
“If you do that one more time, I will not forgive you! Be gone from the halls! You are not allowed in here!”
