Chapter 61

 

“It was the doing of Geomma’s disciple.”

 

“Yes, Sect Leader. There are similarities in their demonic energy, and even considering Pokdanma, the only person capable of dealing with one of the Seven Great Demons so quickly would be Geomma’s disciple.”

 

The Sect Leader’s expression was not very pleasant.

 

Why would Geomma, who had shown no movement all this time, suddenly act now?

 

Geomma’s banishment had occurred when the current Sect Leader was still the Young Sect Leader.

 

What Geomma desired was simply strong power, and he had a close friendship with the Sect Leader of that time, sparring with him daily.

 

Now everyone believed that Geomma had been banished, but in truth, he had not been banished—he had left the sect of his own accord.

 

The words Geomma had spoken when he left still remained strongly in the Sect Leader’s mind.

 

‘Don’t look for me.’

 

They weren’t particularly special words.

 

For last words, they were far too ordinary.

 

However, the weight of words differs depending on who speaks them.

 

“How could Geomma…”

 

“I also do not know the reason. However, this does not seem like something we can easily overlook.”

 

This was a complicated moment both internally and externally.

 

There was Mawi, and there were matters with Kunlun.

 

Besides these, there were far too many places that required the sect’s power.

 

“I’ll postpone it for now. Pokdanma… wasn’t he the one who had the deepest connection with Geomma from the beginning?”

 

The Sect Leader’s speculation was that there would be no further movements after this.

 

Besides Pokdanma, there was no one else who had built significant ties with Geomma.

 

Geomma was a figure from a previous era.

 

It was somewhat ridiculous to fear someone old who was just waiting for the day to die, but whenever he recalled Geomma’s face, the scarred side of his torso throbbed.

 

“Sect Leader. The Young Sect Leader candidates have arrived.”

 

“Let them in.”

 

“I shall take my leave now.”

 

“Do so.”

 

Soon, three candidates appeared in the Sect Leader’s Hall.

 

Naturally, the reason was Pokdanma’s death, but the mention of Geomma’s name carried more weight than that event itself.

 

At least those in this sect could never ignore Geomma’s name.

 

Among them, Cheongsoso, who alone knew the truth, kept her mouth shut throughout the entire conversation.

 

As if she knew nothing at all.

 

Considering only the time when Geomma was banished, there was no connection whatsoever between him and Cheongsoso, so she received no suspicion.

 

Rather, with Geomma’s name suddenly appearing, the weight of Pokdanma’s death seemed to diminish.

 

Thanks to this, there were no disruptions to the plan.

 

Meanwhile, Cheongun rested without any worries.

 

Pokdanma.

 

Perhaps because he couldn’t give his all due to that guilt he showed at the end, it wasn’t a particularly satisfying battle.

 

“Guilt that only appears when death approaches. How ridiculous.”

 

Could that even be called guilt?

 

It was merely selfishness, wanting to leave this world comfortably without any burdens.

 

He decided not to think about meeting Geomma.

 

After all, he expected nothing from Geomma.

 

He wasn’t someone from whom one could expect anything.

 

“More importantly, now that I’ve dealt with Pokdanma, I need to proceed with Yeso’s treatment.”

 

At first, he had thought this way.

 

Dealing with Pokdanma was one thing, but wasn’t meeting Mawi itself a difficult task?

 

The Sect Leader was watching with wide-open eyes.

 

If they hadn’t met by chance that day, his room for maneuvering would have been greatly restricted.

 

Due to Cheonjeokha’s appearance.

 

Even now it had narrowed, but thinking that he had gained something else in exchange, it was a sufficiently profitable trade.

 

So, the method of taking Yeso to Mawi.

 

That method was precisely.

 

“There isn’t one.”

 

There wasn’t one.

 

It wasn’t because he couldn’t think of any.

 

Hadn’t he killed a major figure, one of the Seven Great Demons, in the heart of this Demonic Sect?

 

Therefore, the story that followed was out of Cheongun’s hands.

 

Rather than taking Yeso to receive treatment, it was right for Mawi to come directly and provide treatment.

 

“There’s no need to come secretly either.”

 

Wasn’t this Mawi’s first time in the Demonic Sect?

 

Since he had been confined and didn’t know the internal structure well, wandering around here and there before arriving seemed not too bad.

 

If it led to other suspicions, that couldn’t be helped.

 

As soon as Yeso’s treatment was finished, he would have to leave the Demonic Sect together with Mawi.

 

He might not be able to stay together for the full month, but in the duel that would take place then, he would not lose no matter what happened.

 

If Cheongun wasn’t there, it would mean that Yeso’s severed meridians had also been healed.

 

Pokdanma’s death and the appearance of the significant name Geomma.

 

And with the emergence of his disciple, whom no one knew about, the Demonic Sect was in turmoil for a while.

 

And Cheongun did not leave his chamber.

 

All he did was help with Yeso’s training.

 

Though he spent his days like a idle person, all of this was time spent waiting for the right moment.

 

He had heard a few days ago that Mawi was gradually coming outside, so he would probably arrive here soon.

 

It seemed to take some time because he wasn’t coming directly but was stopping by other places as well.

 

Recently, even Cheongsoso hadn’t been visiting, and it was time spent solely between Yeso and Cheongun.

 

“Master.”

 

“What is it?”

 

“There isn’t much time left… do you think I can win?”

 

“There are still two weeks left, so why isn’t there much time?”

 

“Because I don’t feel like I’ve changed much.”

 

At those words, Cheongun looked down at Yeso for a while before speaking.

 

“Hasn’t this changed?”

 

Poke.

 

Cheongun’s finger, poking at her heart, was cold and sharp.

 

But because of that, it was conveyed more clearly.

 

“My… heart?”

 

“Haven’t you developed the will to try?”

 

“What should I do?”

 

Cheongun barely managed to stop the words that were about to come out without his knowing.

 

The words that she could live freely, just don’t kill innocent people.

 

“There’s no particular need to do anything.”

 

“Then what? What are you doing, Master?”

 

The young child asked a question that quite penetrated life.

 

What was he doing?

 

Was there anything particularly special to answer?

 

“Living.”

 

“…?”

 

Yeso showed an expression of not understanding.

 

Well, he thought she would understand someday when time passed.

 

“Are you there?”

 

Just then, a familiar voice was heard from outside the chamber.

 

‘You’ve come.’

 

What a truly welcome voice this must be.

 

For it is Mawi’s voice.

 

“Wh, who is it…?”

 

Yeso shows wariness and slips behind Cheongun.

 

Cheongun lightly patted her shoulder as if to say it was alright.

 

“Please come in.”

 

A place with not a single guard at the entrance.

 

With a creaking sound, the door opened, and finally Mawi revealed himself.

 

“…Excuse me.”

 

While the surveillance on Cheongun might not be that extensive, the same cannot be said for Mawi.

 

To attach so much surveillance even after receiving an answer that he would surrender.

 

“Who are you?”

 

“I am a guest of this place. I was just looking around the interior for a moment.”

 

“I am not a person of this place, you see.”

 

“Haha, what does that matter? Ah! Come to think of it, you’re the face I briefly encountered before.”

 

“I remember.”

 

“Don’t they say even brushing sleeves is fate?”

 

Quite eloquent indeed.

 

I thought he had no talent for this kind of acting.

 

“Please come in.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

And so Mawi finally entered Cheongun’s residence.

 

Yeso naturally tried to withdraw.

 

“Follow along.”

 

“M, me too?”

 

“Yes. This is important business for you.”

 

It was a moment when curiosity arose about what it could be, while also feeling a vague fear.

 

After first guiding Mawi and Yeso to the inner room, Cheongun immediately turned and looked at the ceiling on the opposite side.

 

“This far.”

 

“…”

 

He left a warning to Cheongsoso’s subordinate, who had been handling Cheongun’s surveillance and running errands, that today would not be permitted.

 

There was no conversation that Cheongsoso shouldn’t hear.

 

However, she was someone better left in a state of wanting to know something.

 

That way, the methods available for use would increase.

 

Click.

 

Soon the door closed, and Cheongun deployed a qi barrier to completely block out surrounding sounds.

 

“Huh, you look more intact than I thought…”

 

Mawi had heard the news of Pokdanma’s death that very day.

 

At first, he couldn’t believe it.

 

No, he couldn’t possibly believe it.

 

Not just any ordinary Makyodo, but one of the Seven Great Demons no less.

 

Though he was considered the lowest among them, his name was absolutely not one to be ignored.

 

And yet him.

 

To have dealt with him in such a short time.

 

Honestly speaking, when he first made this request to Cheongun, it was something he could do precisely because he didn’t expect it.

 

Since he was someone who hadn’t been corrupted by the Demonic Sect, that was also part of why he confided in him.

 

Even if he told others, it was obvious whose word would be believed.

 

But he actually accomplished it.

 

Not only did he kill Pokdanma, but wasn’t he spending his time leisurely here as if nothing had happened?

 

Without any injuries, and without being interrogated by anyone.

 

It was the first time he had become so curious about the details.

 

“May I hear what happened?”

 

“What would you do hearing it now? You can hear it later.”

 

“Understood. It’s regrettable, but some things can’t be helped. So, I just need to treat this child?”

 

At the mention of treatment, Yeso shows eyes full of puzzlement.

 

“Tr, treatment?”

 

Yeso already knew from before that her body was damaged.

 

“It seems you didn’t know. That’s right. I will treat you.”

 

“In medical arts, there is no one in the world who can match him, so you must listen well. Otherwise, treatment will be impossible.”

 

“M, Master…?”

 

“The power of the one you serve also plays a part. You wouldn’t have been able to meet otherwise.”

 

“…Yes, Master.”

 

Her eyes seemed to hold some firm resolution.

 

Though I’m not sure why those eyes feel unsettling.

 

“How long will the treatment take?”

 

“Let me examine the condition first. Child, what is your name?”

 

“It’s Yeso.”

 

“Yes. What a pretty name. Yeso, give me your hand.”

 

Mawi took hold of Yeso’s wrist.

 

Instantly, Mawi’s energy began to envelop Yeso’s body.

 

“Ugh…!”

 

“Don’t worry. Despite how this looks, I’ve healed someone sick like you before.”

 

It was instantaneous.

 

Mawi examined Yeso’s body in this brief moment.

 

“How is it?”

 

“It seems you’ve managed quite well recently. Though the condition isn’t good for this age, thanks to that, the condition will improve much more.”

 

“How long will it take?”

 

“Hmm…”

 

After pondering briefly, Mawi answered decisively.

 

“Four days. Four days should be enough.”

 

“That’s reasonable. Understood.”

 

“I can’t come every day. I’ll only come today and on the last day, so I’ll give you medicine I’ve prepared in advance.”

 

Medicine he had made himself appeared from Mawi’s robes.

 

“Just take it once a day. And I’ll start treatment right away.”

 

“Understood.”

 

Mawi’s medical skills are so outstanding that it’s questionable whether Cheongun could catch up to him in medicine even if he were reborn several times.

 

Since he’s the Master of Righteousness, it can’t be helped.

 

Cheongun, who had been quietly watching Yeso’s treatment, soon rose from his seat first upon sensing a presence outside the residence.
