Chapter 206

Mok Incheong couldn’t help but smile.
“Heh, heh, heh.”
In the normal course of events, a third-ranked master, Bu Eun-sul, would give orders to the Lord of the Demon Palace? That would be impossible.
However, the Emperor ordered that the task of finding a successor could be done alone.
In other words, they have the same authority as the charter owners when it comes to successor candidates.
“I see, that’s how it works.”
Mok Incheng smiled as if he had expected it. He looked at Wei Shao and nodded.
“If that’s the case, then so be it. Bring him.”
How much time has passed?
Jumbled.
You hear dull footsteps coming up the path to the keep.
Jabberwocky…… Jabberwocky.
His footsteps were very irregular and his center of gravity was off.
Eek.
A man in gray robes appeared beside Weesa as she walked.
As if he had been subjected to extreme torture, all of his fingernails were missing from both hands and his gray clothes were stained with blood.
He was none other than Myotian Wu, the Ten Devils of the Demon Palace.
“It’s been a long time…….”
Upon discovering the swollen snow, Myo Tianwu laughed, revealing his blood-soaked teeth.
“How have you been?”
“Mythical rain.”
Buunsul’s eyes grew serious.
“What does that look like?”
“Alas, no big deal.”
Miao Tianwu spoke with a nonchalant expression.
“I was just given a blood-robed monstrosity.”
Bloodstain Shapeshifter.
One of the worst punishments handed down by the Palace of Destruction, the nails on both fingers of the sinner are removed and a long pole is driven through them.
He then pours the Six Immortal Fluids, which are said to maximize human senses.
The torture is carried out in a state of heightened sensation, and the process is said to be so painful that the prisoners tear their own clothes and dig out their own flesh.
Within the species, it is said to resemble a red corpse, hence the fearsome name of the blood corpse type.
Despite being tortured so viciously, Miao Tianwu maintained a stoic expression.
“You’re sick.
Buunsul shook his head.
Although he wore a somber expression, Miao Tianwu’s eyes were faint, and his hands and legs were trembling incessantly.
It was clear that he was still in terrible pain.
“Why did you torture him?”
Mok Incheong scoffed at Bu Eun Seol’s question.
“You’re mistaken. Do you think you have the world at your feet just because you’ve become the master of a mere mage?”
“…….”
“You claimed to be a warlord, so I showed him to you in Muzeru. But now you’re trying to meddle in the affairs of this court.”
You’re not wrong.
Even if she is a master of the magic warriors, she cannot interfere in the affairs of other sects.
If anything, this behavior was a slap in the face to the previous lender.
“Don’t meddle, and go home now.”
But Bu Eun-sul was not deterred.
“So the event you’re talking about in the Demon Palace is torturing the Ten Demon Warriors who belong to it?”
“Only?”
Mok Yin Cheng’s eyes lit up, and Myo Tian Wu staggered forward.
“I don’t care. This is what I’ve earned.”
“Self-help.”
Myotian smiled dryly as Bu Eun-sul’s eyes lit up.
“I decided long ago to throw off the shackles of the Ten Horsemen and leave the Palace of Destruction.”
“So.”
“I’m just saying that because I heard you were coming.”
After the incident at the Zhang Sword Mountain Resort, Miao Tianwu decided to throw off the shackles of the Ten Demon Warriors and follow Bu Eunsun.
And when he heard that Bu Eun-sul had become a private lord and was looking for the palace, he did not hesitate to announce his intention to leave the palace.
“Then the Mock Master made a condition: if I follow you out of the Ruined Palace, I must accept the Blood Shard.”
Buunsun’s eyebrows rose.
As it turns out, Miao Tianwu was being tortured in order to shed the shackles of being a Ten Demon Warrior and sever his ties to the Demon Palace.
Miao Tianwu turned around and clasped his hands together.
“Well, I’m going to leave now.”
When Mok Yin Cheng didn’t respond, Myo Tian Wu spoke up.
“Didn’t you take the Bloodbane, the punishment you were commanded to undergo if you were to leave the Ruined Palace with this friend?”
“Of course you can leave the Palace of Destruction.”
Mokyin Cheng trailed off with a sinister grin.
“But that’s all. You must return at the call of the main palace.”
“Are you going back on your word?”
“You’re welcome.”
Mok Yin Qing smiled wickedly.
“The only thing the Palace promised you was that you could leave the Ruined Palace.”
Thud.
At that moment, Miao Tianwu’s eyes widened.
Now that I think about it, the Demon King’s Palace never intended to send Myotian Wu.
“Why would you try to deceive me with such a clever pun?”
“I don’t cheat, I just do what I promise.”
“I cannot accept this, and I will tell the king myself.”
“It is useless. The king has delegated all authority over the treatment of the Ten Horsemen to me.”
Suddenly, a grim light flashed in Miao Tianwu’s eyes.
“Why is the main palace treating me so harshly? What on earth have I done wrong!”
Miao Tianwu’s bitter cry echoed through the air.
He had great talent, and he did his best as a Ten Warriors of the Demon Palace.
However, they are always neglected because they interfere with the succession plan of the Shindo, which is already in place.
No faction was able to gain support.
Hadn’t they even conspired in the past to deliberately expose his actions, to cause him to abandon his cause and self-destruct?
He was nearly killed at the Janggum Mountain Resort, but thanks to Bueunseol, he returned alive.
From then on, he only gave me risky missions.
I thought I had finally gotten my chance to break free from the shackles of the ten horsemen, but then I realized…….
The Netherworld had betrayed him again.
“If you want me dead so badly, why won’t you let me go?”
“It’s a no-brainer.”
Mok Yinqing said dumbly.
“The author is a candidate for the heir to the throne of the Magic Warriors, who is vying for the throne of this court. If you help him, it will be very embarrassing for the court.”
Miao Tianwu squeezed his eyes shut helplessly.
In retrospect, it was a no-brainer.
Miao Tianwu is an accomplished martial arts master, but from the perspective of the Immortal Palace, he is an outsider who could never be a family member.
But is he about to become a dagger to help Bu Eun-sul, who is in competition with the heir apparent, Shin Do-un-hwi?
It would be wise of the Netherworld to destroy the sword instead.
“I’m sorry.”
Myotian shook his head and muttered to himself.
“I’m afraid I can’t help you.”
There was a glint of resignation in Miao Tianwu’s eyes.
Unless the Infernal Palace lets him go, he will never be able to escape the shackles of being a Ten Horsemen in any way.
But that’s weird.
Even in the face of Myo Tianwu’s passionate friendship. And even while watching him suffer so much……
Bu Eun-sul’s expression didn’t change.
As if they expected everything.
“Swollen Tongue.”
Then Mokyin Cheng said coldly.
“You may be a master of magic, but you have no business interfering in the affairs of the Ten Warriors of the main palace. Now go home.”
After a long silence, Buunsul’s mouth finally opened slowly.
“Sure.”
A faint smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Suddenly, Mok Incheong had a strange thought.
Because that smile was the kind of triumphant grin only a winner can pull off.
“If it’s Nobui who should be laughing, why is he laughing?
“I’ll leave now.”
Bu Eun-sul said to Wei Tian-kyung, who was standing behind Hyuk So-jin.
“Heal Miao Tianwu’s wounds and prepare him to leave the Demon Palace immediately.”
“I see.”
Nodding, Wei Tianqing and Izo’s men cautiously approached Myo Tianwu.
“Let me take a look at your wound for a moment.”
“No use. Swollen tongue.”
Shaking his head, Miao Tianwu wore a pained expression.
“Haven’t you heard what I’ve been saying all this time, that even if I leave with you, …… will still order me to return to the Palace of Destruction.”
“So.”
“So what? If you refuse to return, the pursuers of the Netherworld will be after you. In the end, no matter what you do, you will never be able to escape your status as a Ten Demon Warrior!”
Another desperate cry rang through the air.
Bu Eunsul, who had been staring at Myeong Tianwu in silence, nodded and said heavily.
“Of course. Don’t deviate. Never.”
“What?”
“You’ll soon be a prime candidate to succeed him.”
“What……? What does that mean?”
Instead of answering, Bu Eun-sul looked at Mok Yin-cheong and smiled faintly.
“I promised him that if I succeeded him, I would have a fair competition for succession.”
His gaze was still fixed on Miao Tianwu, not Miao Yinqing.
“That’s how we were able to win the waterless wells and the waterless wells as supporters.”
Turning his head, he looked at Myo Tianwu and spoke in a solemn voice.
“And that level playing field doesn’t just include the Great Heavenly Destination and the Sewerless Well, but all of…… the Forty Doors.”
Kuung.
At that moment, not only Myo Tianwu, who was listening to the story, but also Mok Incheng, who was standing behind him, looked like he had been slapped on the back of the head.
‘That guy…….’
Mok Yin Cheng was puzzled.
In fact, they’re kind of like a circle jerk in the first place.
Despite being unable to become the heir, he possesses martial arts and talents that threaten to overtake him.
Therefore, even if Bu Eunseol took Myotianwu away, there was no harm done to the Demon King’s Palace.
We only blocked it because we didn’t want to give Buunsul an advantage.
But what if Bu Eun-sul is indeed the successor of Ma Jian, and thus elevates the Ten Demon Warriors to the same level of candidacy?
In the Infernal Palace, being unnecessarily grumpy can lead to even worse consequences.
‘Swollen tongue. You are…….’
Miao Tianwu’s eyes were a mixture of admiration and disbelief.
It was only then that I realized the horror of the snowflakes.
‘The reason why everyone was afraid of this guy in Hell City…… wasn’t just because his martial arts were strong.’
She always kept a cool head and had a number of contingency plans in place.
As if to prove it, he was ambushed by a constant stream of enemies, none of whom succeeded.
And it wasn’t just because of the beast’s keen senses.
“If you understand, let’s get going.”
“Wait, wait!”
The panicked Mok Yin Qing loudly restrained the swollen eyes.
If we let him and Myochenniu go, we’ll be in over our heads.
“Miao Tianwu, you are not allowed to step out of the main palace!”
“You’re going back on your word.”
Bu Eun-sul said with a solemn expression.
“A promise that he will leave the Palace of Destruction if he receives the Blood Shard. I’ve heard it from my master.”
“Water, of course, that’s true.”
“Good.”
Just as Bu Eunseol was about to turn away, Mok Incheong called out again.
“But you are not the man who is to be the arch-enemy of this palace, are you?”
His fangs clenched, a vicious gleam in his eyes.
“Aren’t you vying for the heir to the throne, and now that you’re in the middle of it…… I’m going to have to kill you.”
“Hahahaha.”
Bu Eun-sul chuckled, showing her white teeth in amusement.
“That’s not a bad choice either.”
Bu Eun-sul nodded in agreement.
“Use your hands, now.”
“What?”
“Don’t worry. No matter what we do, you won’t survive in the middle of the Demon Palace.”
Despite her words, Bu Eun-sul’s expression was relaxed and full of laughter.
Not only that, but the men in the ranks were not afraid, but they were energized.
“Instead, you will have to surround me well and kill me, and if you fail…….”
The pupils of his eyes were as white and cold as an ice cave.
“The Sword Archer of the Demon Palace will slip down the succession ladder before he’s even begun his mission from the Supreme Commander.”
Mok Yin Cheng’s eyes widened.
Why White Horse, Infernal Blood, and Commandments were not even considered for successor status.
Isn’t it because of the power of collective attacks on the boonies that failed?
“This is…….”
Mok Incheong’s mouth dropped open in surprise.
He realized that he couldn’t do this on his own.
“Hahaha, that’s great!”
Suddenly, I heard laughter out of thin air.
At the same time, a man dressed in a colorful silk robe appeared in front of Mok Yin Cheng, as if rising from the ground.
It was Xindo Yunhui, the archery master of the Yin Palace.
