Chapter 234
The pavilion made only of gold and black, Macheondeon.
The harmony of two colors that seemed utterly incompatible weighed heavily on the shoulders of Ho Jeon No Yeom-baek and King Dang Cheol-u.
The Ten Supremes, called the existence of heaven beyond heaven by those in Gangho.
No Yeom-baek was proudly one of those Ten Supremes, and Dang Cheol-woo was also someone who would soon be called as such.
Of course, there were ranks even within the Ten Supremes.
However, that difference would be as insignificant as a thin sheet of paper.
When they first saw Cheonma in Chaohu, No Yeom-baek and Dang Cheol-woo had thought so.
But what was this overwhelming presence?
From the figure of Cheonma sitting on the jade throne looking down below, they felt an overwhelming majesty completely different from before.
They instantly understood why people placed the Demon Lord at the highest position among the Ten Supremes.
“Please, come forward.”
Cheonma welcomed the two warmly.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the suffocating pressure evaporated and disappeared.
Which one was real?
Looking at Cheonma who made the atmosphere relaxed in an instant, No Yeom-baek and Dang Cheol-woo tried hard to erase their tense expressions.
“Have you been well?”
“It’s good to see you again.”
The two cupped their fists and greeted with the utmost courtesy.
“How insolent!”
“How dare you stand so stiffly in this sacred place!”
“Kneel down immediately!”
These were the ones who had been showing hostility from the moment Ho Jeon No Yeom-baek and King Dang Cheol-u entered Macheondeon.
Though not very loud, sharp warnings flew like daggers from left and right.
Three on the left, three on the right.
Without asking, they could guess who they were.
If Jungwon had the Five Great Families, then what supported Maegyo were the Six Great Demon Clans.
Among them, Tak Joong-hak, the head of the Hyeon-ma Tak Family known as the foremost clan, was seated there for the first time in a long while, breaking his long seclusion.
The fact that this made Cheonma happier than ever was something only he himself knew.
‘These bastards are really pushing it!’
Leading the two grandfathers to visit Macheondeon, my insides were boiling with anger.
These creatures who wouldn’t even be worth a punch if met outside were acting up just because they were in front of Master.
It was fortunate that the grandfathers were among the Ten Supremes; if they were ordinary people, they would have already fainted from the murderous aura.
‘Especially that goat bastard.’
Yeo Gong, the head of the Iron Blood Yeo-ga who had accused me and Grandmother of being Martial Arts Alliance spies.
Whether his house arrest had been lifted while I was away from Headquarters for Grandmother’s matter, he was glaring at me with his chin held high.
His eyes were full of resentment even though he was the one who had committed the wrongdoing.
Had he learned nothing from that incident?
The cunning smile playing at his lips showed he was fully prepared to tear me apart.
Sure enough.
“What on earth was First Miss thinking when she brought those people here? No matter if you’re First Miss, this is going too far. To act so recklessly on such an important matter without a word of consultation—isn’t this too careless?”
“That’s right! This isn’t something we can simply overlook!”
Wi-rin, the head of the Goru Wi Clan, added his voice with equal force.
“To Headquarters, and moreover to this Macheondeon where the Sect Leader resides—bringing Jeongpa and Seopa!”
“I still can’t believe it! What exactly was First Miss thinking when she created this situation!”
My, what fish in water they are.
They seem to want to somehow bring me down this time, but I’m not someone who’ll be easily defeated.
Though I had asked Grandpa Tak to suppress them with force before coming, that was honestly to persuade Grandfather.
From the beginning, I had somewhat expected this reaction and intended to resolve it myself.
As they said, wasn’t I the First Miss of Headquarters?
If there was responsibility I had to bear, I wouldn’t back down.
“Are you asking me what I was thinking right now?”
“That’s right! Isn’t this too thoughtless?”
“No matter how young you are, I can’t understand this with my common sense!”
“There must be a proper reason for bringing them here!”
“What if there’s no proper reason?”
At my brazen question, Yeo Gong’s eyes twitched.
“Is First Miss now admitting that she brought them here without any reason?”
“Did my words sound like that to you?”
“No matter if you’re First Miss, if your conduct is poor, there must be punishment accordingly!”
“This is why bloodline is important…”
Though it was a very small mutter, there was no one in this place who couldn’t hear it.
“Head Yeo! What nonsense is that? Have you forgotten that First Miss is of Tak Family blood?”
Unable to stand Yeo Gong’s crossing the line, Sim Ui-cheon, head of the Demonic Path Sim Family, stepped forward.
When he spoke while glancing at Grandpa Tak, Yeo Gong turned his head and coughed.
“Ahem!”
Did Yeo Gong not know that I was direct lineage of the Tak Family?
He just wanted to remind everyone that my status was originally that of a maid.
He was probably trying to emphasize that I was rampaging without being able to distinguish front from back.
And one more thing—if Grandpa Tak intervened here, he would surely bare his teeth more, saying something about trying to protect his granddaughter and questioning qualifications.
‘Cunning goat bastard.’
Who doesn’t know your true nature?
I had been looking forward to the day I would personally deal with that temperament, but I only now realized that today would be that day.
I glared at Yeo Gong while slowly drawing up my internal energy.
Though this was Macheondeon where Master resided, just enduring wasn’t the answer.
Perhaps his staying silent and just watching was because he wanted to see how I would respond.
I hadn’t brought King Grandfather and Bandit Grandfather here to show such a scene.
I had no face to show the two of them.
‘Damn it.’
Toward Yeo Gong, who was pouring filth on my first plan to show how well Grandmother and I were living, I unleashed my internal energy.
Crack crack crack!
The stone slabs laid on the floor shook as sharp energy extended toward Yeo Gong.
That energy grasped Yeo Gong’s ankle and quickly climbed up his body.
Maegyo’s implicit first rule.
The law of the jungle, or the strong devouring all.
To prevent him from ever wagging his tongue carelessly in front of me again, this was a time that required a big blow.
“Ugh!”
Surprised by my sudden action, Yeo Gong groaned and widened his eyes.
My energy, enhanced with demonic energy and Buddhist power, coiled around Yeo Gong’s legs.
But Yeo Gong wasn’t an easy opponent either.
His surprise was brief; he raised his internal energy as if it was nothing and wrapped it around his body.
His bending knees quickly straightened.
Then he looked at me and smiled as if this much was nothing.
Boom!
In response, I explosively released my internal energy as if to show him.
He should realize that what just happened was merely a taste.
Crack crack crack crack!
The stone slabs shook even more violently.
A qualitatively different power from before pressed down on Yeo Gong’s entire body.
“…!”
The smile vanished from Yeo Gong’s face.
“Kugh.”
His cheek twitched and his waist bent in an instant.
No matter how much he was the head of the Cheonhyeol Yeo Clan, he couldn’t withstand my four cycles of internal energy.
I’m not called an internal energy bully for nothing.
“Listen carefully.”
I slowly and gradually tightened my grip on Yeo Gong’s body as I spoke calmly.
“One is the father of the grandmother who raised me, meaning my great-grandfather. And the other is my father’s father, so my paternal grandfather.”
At my words, not only Yeo Gong but all the heads of the Six Great Demon Clans except Grandpa Tak showed surprised expressions.
“If you need confirmation, feel free to ask Master.”
I made them realize that Master already knew this fact.
“As the First Miss, I ask you. Is it such a big problem that I invited my family?”
“…Even, even so, you’ve gone too far! You should have cut ties instead! How can the First Miss not know that the righteous and demonic paths can never be connected!”
Yeo Gong shouted while his waist was bent.
Even in this situation, his persistence was truly admirable.
But what?
Cut ties?
Does that goat bastard think I’ll listen just because he says so!
Just as I was about to completely break his waist.
“Enough!”
At Master’s sharp command, the surging energy disappeared without a trace as if it were a lie.
‘Whoa.’
Even though my internal energy was forcibly cut off, I didn’t feel any shock at all.
How is this possible?
Is this even feasible?
When I looked at him in admiration, Master smiled briefly for just a moment.
‘Sometimes he really acts like a child.’
Whether he knew my thoughts or not, Master spoke.
“As you all heard, Am-wang and Ho Jeon are respectively the First Miss’s great-grandfather and paternal grandfather. Also, their visit was permitted by this seat, so do not make any more fuss about it.”
Oh, Master!
Are you officially taking my side like this?
I didn’t expect this kind of thing.
Watching Yeo Gong and Wi-rin’s faces contort like rotten apples, I thought to myself.
As expected, in the Demonic Sect, Cheonma is the best.
I was newly grateful that I was the one and only disciple of such a Cheonma.
