Chapter 151 : Chapter 151
Chapter 151. Kill them all. Every last one of them.
In truth, the forces the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult had committed to Mount Hua were truly enormous.
The Hellish Evil Ghost Squad.
One of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult's top military groups, composed of five hundred members in total.
In addition, there was the Illusionary Demon Troupe, made up of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult's sorcerers.
The Rakshasa Troupe, led by Man Yu-gang, had also been moving with Jin Cheon from Sichuan, meaning that a total of two of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult's top military groups had been deployed.
With this much power, it was possible to lay waste to any of the Nine Sects One Gang or the Five Great Families in a single breath, so Dang Cheon-wi's judgment was by no means wrong.
“We greet our Liege!”
“Liege! You have come!”
The Mad Demon Revered One and the Undying Fighting Demon approached Jin Cheon, knelt on one knee, and paid their respects to their liege.
“……!”
The warriors of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult were startled by the actions of the Mad Demon Revered One and the Undying Fighting Demon.
The Mad Demon Revered One and the Undying Fighting Demon were Great Demons of the previous generation, elders who received the respect of all.
For them to serve the Seventh Young Master as their liege and pay their respects as subordinates, it was only natural for the warriors of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult to be surprised.
However, the Mad Demon Revered One and the Undying Fighting Demon paid no mind.
For them, today was a very, very special day.
‘Finally, I can get my revenge!’
‘I will give those dog-like bastards a bloody revenge!’
Until last year, they, like the past Jin Cheon, had been imprisoned in the Demonic Prison, suffering harsh torture.
For them to now participate in the attack on the Demonic Prison, it was natural for them to feel a unique sense of emotion.
“The two elders seem to be in very high spirits.”
Jin Cheon showed a bright smile towards the Mad Demon Revered One and the Undying Fighting Demon.
A fellowship of suffering.
He knew all too well how they were feeling right now…….
“How could it be otherwise? Hehehe.”
“We will kill them all.”
The Mad Demon Revered One and the Undying Fighting Demon gave a gruesome smile.
“Yes, you must.”
This time, Jin Cheon had no intention of stopping the slaughter either.
Wasn't Jin Cheon himself the one who had been imprisoned in the Demonic Prison for longer than anyone else, whose resentment ran the deepest?
He had no desire to show mercy, nor should he.
“Se, Senior Brother.”
A surprised Dang Cheon-wi carefully spoke to Jin Cheon.
“What on earth is on Mount Hua? What is there that……”
“Mount Hua.”
Jin Cheon began to answer.
“It is the mountain where the Mount Hua Sect was once located. The home of the Mount Hua Sect, which was destroyed during the last Righteous-Demonic War. Do you know how that Mount Hua is being used now?”
“I can’t even begin to guess.”
“Mount Hua is being used by the Righteous Heavenly Alliance as a secret prison to kidnap, imprison, and torture their political enemies.”
“Wh-what are you talking about?”
“Literally. The Righteous Heavenly Alliance, or more precisely, the few Daoist sects that lead the Righteous Heavenly Alliance, have been continuously eliminating their political enemies. Through kidnapping or assassination.”
“G-good heavens……”
“And they built a secret prison called the Demonic Prison on Mount Hua and extracted the martial arts that their political enemies possessed. They even went so far as to kidnap figures from our Cult to research demonic arts.”
“No way……”
Dang Cheon-wi could not easily believe Jin Cheon's words.
It wasn't because he didn't trust Jin Cheon, but because it sounded like too absurd a story to be true.
How many people in the Central Plains would dare to imagine that the Righteous Heavenly Alliance was committing such a crazy act?
“I told you. You’ll see if you wait. Soon, you will see the true face of the Righteous Heavenly Alliance, those rotten bastards. Look closely. See how ugly the other side of those who claim to walk the righteous path is.”
After saying so, Jin Cheon turned to look at the Rakshasa Troupe Leader, Man Yu-gang, who was by his side.
“Let’s get moving.”
“Yes, Seventh Young Master.”
As soon as Jin Cheon's order fell, Man Yu-gang commanded not only his Rakshasa Troupe but also the warriors of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult.
Soon, Jin Cheon also advanced with the warriors of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult towards the west, where Mount Hua was located.
Towards the Demonic Prison, the source of Jin Cheon's deep resentment, anger, and hatred.
* * *
The warriors of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, led by Jin Cheon, arrived at Mount Hua and quickly began to surround the foothills of Cloud Terrace Peak, where the Demonic Prison was located.
“Is there really a prison called the Demonic Prison here?”
“Yes.”
Jin Cheon answered the Blood Qilin's question.
“A considerable number of our Cult's warriors, as well as the political enemies of the Righteous Heavenly Alliance, are imprisoned here.”
“Keuk.”
The Blood Qilin's eyes turned bright red.
“How dare those Righteous Heavenly Alliance bastards capture and imprison the warriors of our Cult? And torture them?”
“Yes, for the purpose of researching demonic arts.”
“Then we’ll have to kill them all, won’t we?”
The Blood Qilin's killing intent was so gruesome that even Jin Cheon was slightly surprised.
“Yes, kill them all.”
This time, Jin Cheon had no intention of restraining the Blood Qilin.
Besides, there were more than enough bastards to kill.
The Demonic Prison was not a simple prison but a research facility that studied not only the martial arts of the Orthodox Faction but also demonic arts, so a considerable number of personnel were stationed there for a secret prison.
Their number was estimated to be around a thousand, so it was possible to carry out a massacre to their heart's content.
Of course, the vast majority of them were completely unaware of the Demonic Prison's true nature and were only following the Righteous Heavenly Alliance's orders, but their well-being was of no concern to Jin Cheon.
“However, you must not touch the inmates. In any case, only a small number of people can access the inside of the prison, so Senior Brother, you can take care of the Righteous Heavenly Alliance's trash outside.”
“We can’t kill the inmates? Aren’t we just taking our Cult's warriors?”
“No.”
Jin Cheon shook his head.
“Most of the Orthodox Faction warriors imprisoned in the Demonic Prison are people who are hostile to the forces currently leading the Righteous Heavenly Alliance. The core of this operation is for them to return to their respective sects and reveal this fact.”
“Why?”
“……”
Jin Cheon stopped talking and squeezed his eyes shut.
He had a splitting headache just thinking about where to even begin explaining to this foolish senior brother.
Perhaps she knew of Jin Cheon's weariness?
“Let’s go.”
Yeom Bi snatched the scruff of the Blood Qilin's neck and dragged him away.
“Ah, why! I have to hear the reason!”
“You just do as you’re told.”
“Don’t treat me like a fool!”
“What’s wrong with treating a fool like a fool.”
Thanks to Yeom Bi stepping in, Jin Cheon could breathe a sigh of relief.
“When on earth will he grow up……”
Jin Cheon shook his head, then his eyes met Dang Cheon-wi's and he blushed.
“My senior brother is a bit immature. Really.”
“Hahaha……”
Dang Cheon-wi scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
Learning that the fearsome Blood Qilin was actually a childish fool, a sense of emptiness washed over him.
“Preparations are complete, Seventh Young Master.”
“You can attack as soon as it gets dark.”
“As you command.”
Jin Cheon's party surrounded Cloud Terrace Peak and waited for nightfall.
Just as the attack was imminent.
“We greet our Liege.”
Danmok Cheong and the Seventh Divine Demon Squad, who had joined late, knelt on one knee before Jin Cheon and paid their respects to their liege.
“It has been a long time, Liege.”
“You’ve worked hard coming all this way.”
Jin Cheon showed a smile towards Danmok Cheong.
Until now, Danmok Cheong and the Seventh Divine Demon Squad had been unable to leave the Divine Land because they were faking Jin Cheon's death, and could not join this journey.
But now, the story was different.
The Heavenly Killing Sect had been annihilated, and there was no longer a need to feign Jin Cheon's death, so they had left the Divine Land late and rushed all the way to Mount Hua.
“Grand Master Dan and the Seventh Divine Demon Squad will enter the prison with me. All the guards inside the prison will be killed. However, do not touch a single hair on the inmates.”
“As you command!”
Danmok Cheong and the Seventh Divine Demon Squad answered with a booming voice.
About a moment later, when the sky had completely darkened.
“In the name of the Great Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, I command you. All units, attack.”
“As you command.”
As Jin Cheon's order fell, the warriors of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult began to move towards Cloud Terrace Peak.
“……!”
The Righteous Heavenly Alliance warriors guarding the vicinity of Cloud Terrace Peak discovered the approaching warriors of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult and were startled, but it was already too late.
“Keok!”
“Uwaaak!”
In the blink of an eye, several Righteous Heavenly Alliance warriors were killed.
Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang!
At the sudden commotion, an alarm bell rang out, signaling a state of emergency.
“Enemies!”
“It’s an enemy attack!”
From all over, the Righteous Heavenly Alliance warriors guarding the Demonic Prison began to emerge sporadically.
“Kill them all. Every last one of them.”
“As you command!”
Jin Cheon's voice, laden with demonic qi, resounded thunderously across Cloud Terrace Peak.
His voice contained a wondrous power that strengthened the demonic practitioners who had learned demonic arts and instilled fear in their enemies.
The Heavenly Demon's Roar.
A sound art recorded in the Heavenly Demon Scripture, a fearsome demonic art said to be capable of killing a thousand men with a single shout if one reached a high realm.
“Keoheok!”
Indeed, several Righteous Heavenly Alliance warriors who heard Jin Cheon's shout vomited blood, collapsed with blood streaming from their ears.
Empowered by the Heavenly Demon's Roar, the warriors of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult slaughtered their enemies as they came, committing a veritable massacre.
“Uwaaaaaaaah!”
“Save meeeeeee!”
The laments and screams of the Righteous Heavenly Alliance warriors echoed across Cloud Terrace Peak.
“Ugh.”
Dang Cheon-wi could not bear to watch the scene unfolding before him and flinched, his body trembling.
It was the first time he had witnessed such a large-scale massacre, and he was completely overwhelmed.
Besides, no matter how disillusioned he felt, it was very difficult to watch his fellow members of the Righteous Heavenly Alliance being killed.
But Jin Cheon was different.
A satisfied smile bloomed on Jin Cheon's lips.
How long had he waited for this revenge?
That blood-soaked resentment was something that could never be forgotten, even after traveling back through the past.
“What goes around, comes around. Pay the price.”
Jin Cheon muttered to himself in a cold voice.
It was the moment when the seeds of destruction, planted by the Righteous Heavenly Alliance before he traveled back through the past, began to sprout in earnest.
* * *
Jin Cheon suppressed his desire to leisurely and joyfully watch the scene of the massacre and hurried his steps.
“Let’s go, I’ll show you the truth.”
“Yes, Senior Brother.”
Dang Cheon-wi followed behind Jin Cheon.
“We are entering the prison. There are many masters, so be especially careful, and do your best to protect the prisoners so they don’t die.”
“As you command.”
Immediately after giving the order, Jin Cheon, along with the Seventh Divine Demon Squad and the Rakshasa Troupe, dashed at full speed towards the Demonic Prison located in the valley of Cloud Terrace Peak.
At that, the traps installed inside the valley were activated.
Swaaaaaaa!
A rain of arrows poured down.
However, Jin Cheon and his party’s movements were too agile to be hit by arrows.
Unless it was a divine bow, it was absurd to think that traps could stop warriors at or above the peak level.
Boom, boom boom, boooom!
Explosives also went off, but they could not penetrate the protective powerful qi of Jin Cheon's party.
Unless the entire valley itself collapsed, it was no exaggeration to say that there was no way to stop Jin Cheon's party from approaching the entrance of the Demonic Prison.
After running and running until they reached the depths of the valley, a truly massive iron gate revealed itself before Jin Cheon's party.
It was impossible to even guess how thick it was, or how much it weighed.
It seemed impossible to open with human strength alone.
“……”
Just as everyone was at a loss.
Fwoooooosh!
An indescribable, intense demonic qi, enough to consume the entire valley and more, erupted from Jin Cheon.
Goooooooooooooooooooooooo!
The demonic qi was so intense that the air inside the valley reacted to it and trembled.
Wooooong!
The demonic qi of the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi was imbued into Jin Cheon's right fist.
Jin Cheon's fist, enveloped in a black light as if it had wrapped around the void, was shot towards the iron gate.
Kwaaaaaang!
Jjeooooong!
A deafening roar, as if a giant temple bell was ringing, loud enough to tear eardrums, echoed out…….
Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!
And soon, the iron gate collapsed.
The iron gate, which must have weighed at least ten thousand geun, was shattered into pieces!
