The Regressed Young Master’s Guide to Living on Easy Mode

Chapter 157 : The Young Leader's Return (2)

It's a familiar sight.

The food is served in abundance.

A long rectangular dining table.

At the end of it, the Heavenly Demon is sitting, and right next to him, my older brother is sitting.

I can tell that quite some time has passed, as my older brother is showing a sharp side that was not seen before. This is the real young leader! This kind of feeling? Still, my older brother hasn't completely changed.

Because he's tearing up whenever he makes eye contact with me while eating.

"You damn bastards! My kid's hair! His hair! Because he's been through so much!"

My older brother's mouth has become quite sharp.

I didn't talk back to my older brother before, but I promised myself that I would listen to him even more from now on.

And should I say, as expected of the Heavenly Demon.

Soma, who was a troublemaker wherever he went, was now eating quietly without saying a word.

But it wasn't that the Heavenly Demon had beaten Soma to a pulp. The Heavenly Demon hadn't even touched a hair on Soma's head.

It was just that they had made eye contact once.

Well, did he get threatened without me knowing? As I was looking at Soma closely, I could see why Soma was quiet.

The small somethings spread around Soma.

To be precise, it would be correct to express it as a small boundary, a differentiated boundary.

A boundary is a kind of concept of space. Even so, to think that it can be divided and spread so small.

Again, a boundary is a concept of space.

That's the meaning of the outside, and if you dig a little deeper, a boundary should be seen as a kind of concept of enlightenment.

The materialization of enlightenment.

In other words, it meant that the Heavenly Demon was splitting and spreading his own enlightenment.

Even if I know the theory, wouldn't I have to slice my brain into pieces to practice this?

Still, if I were told to do it, I felt like I could do it for some reason.

Soma was now resisting as much as he could so as not to die.

The human body is also a creature of the world made up of the harmony of yin and yang.

The small boundaries spread around Soma now had a yin nature. They were forcibly breaking Soma's harmony.

I could also understand why Soma was quiet. Because if his concentration was scattered even a little and the harmony of yin and yang collapsed, Soma's body would collapse as it was and he would be forcibly ascended.

All I could say to Soma was to hang in there.

Perhaps if you interpret the mind sword's formless killing, which I had only heard of, it would be similar to this.

My junior sister was eating as usual in this situation.

"Chief Steward! Another bowl, please!"

"Yes, I understand."

To think that food could go down in this atmosphere, I had no choice but to admit it.

Yes, as expected of the former Heavenly Demon's bloodline.

Junior sister, you just be the next Heavenly Demon!

Clack!

While I was having such an impression, not an impression, the Heavenly Demon, who had not lifted his spoon even once, grabbed his spoon and placed it on the table roughly enough to bother anyone.

"Now, speak."

The Heavenly Demon's low voice echoed in the room. Although there was no subject in the words just now, I could tell who he was talking to.

It was me.

"Everything that has happened so far."

What was bound to come has finally come.

"Without any lies, purely everything."

I naturally knew what words were omitted after this.

'If you don't want to die!'

I had expected that a day like this would come someday.

Because I had lied to them. Just as you can't cover the sun with one hand, a lie is bound to be revealed someday.

It had come to this.

From the moment I knew the truth, I knew that the Heavenly Demon was not the Chaotic Heavenly Society.

Moreover, the Divine Cult was like my hometown, and the Heavenly Demon was like an idol to me.

That was no different even now that I had reached the Profound Realm.

And looking back on the past, I could see that the Heavenly Demon and my older brother had treated me with sincerity.

So from this moment on, I didn't want to deceive them anymore.

No matter how the result is accepted, this would be a reality that I should rightly bear.

I told them everything from my relationship with the former Heavenly Demon, why I had deserted the Divine Cult, how I had been living since then, and what kind of guys the Chaotic Heavenly Society were.

However, I did not talk about the regression.

Because this would only confuse them.

The Heavenly Demon, who had heard all my words, was trembling with anger.

Screech.

The Heavenly Demon's hand slowly goes up.

I squeezed my eyes shut.

If I were told to fight the Heavenly Demon here, I could fight enough, but I didn't want to.

Even if they didn't forgive me, I was prepared to accept it gladly.

Moreover, considering my current situation, it was no exaggeration to say that the result was already decided.

The Heavenly Demon's raised hand was ruffling his own hair.

"So, you're not my older brother's child, is that what you're saying?"

I answered with a heavy heart.

He must be trembling with a sense of betrayal.

"Yes. The former Heavenly Demon's bloodline is my junior sister next to me."

The Heavenly Demon looked back and forth between me and my junior sister.

"I knew it, you two looked strangely similar from the first time I saw you."

"Then how are you learning the Heavenly Demon Divine Art?"

"That's."

Since I hadn't talked about the regression, I said I had learned it from the former Heavenly Demon. In fact, it was true that I had learned martial arts from the former Heavenly Demon.

"So that's what happened."

"Yes. I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"For deceiving you."

Rumble.

A huge qi wave emanated from the Heavenly Demon's body.

"Father, really!"

My older brother quickly grabbed the dishes in front of him and put them in place.

My junior sister also grabbed her dishes that were flying into the air and started eating again.

I was still just closing my two eyes.

The Heavenly Demon's words were heard again.

"Then, your parents?"

"They have both passed away."

"Any other family? Relatives, cousins, a grandfather?"

"No. I'm alone. And that bastard... no, my grandfather has also passed away."

"Then you're alone now. Is that what you're saying?"

"Yes."

The Heavenly Demon looks at my older brother.

My older brother looks at the Heavenly Demon.

The two of them nod at the same time.

A strange excitement was visible in their gazes.

The Heavenly Demon opened his mouth.

"For now, go back and rest. The measures for you will be decided soon."

And so the meal ended.

I would probably be beaten to death by the Heavenly Demon, or I would be kicked out of the Divine Cult.

Because my current identity is a public enemy of the martial world.

Because if they have me, they will be branded as a public enemy by the imperial family and the entire martial world.

I was now in the room I had stayed in before.

After a while, the chief steward and the head maid came into the room.

"Seeing that your hair has all turned white, you must have had a hard time outside."

"No. It's something I should rightly bear."

In the first place, if I had confessed the truth to the Heavenly Demon, I wouldn't have had to desert, and I wouldn't have had to go through the harsh experiences so far.

This was all my fault.

"For now, let's change your appearance completely. The Heavenly Demon has ordered you to be dressed as neatly as possible."

The incomprehensible words of the chief steward and the head maid.

Don't tell me they're going to dress me up neatly and then kill me, just like they feed a pig lavishly before it's about to die.

Since they've already fed me!

It was as if they were telling me to struggle as much as I want, since I'm in the palm of their hand anyway.

At the Heavenly Demon's cruelty, I squeezed my eyes shut again and entrusted my whole body to their hands.

And the two of them dressed me up neatly, just as they had when I had first come here.

Once I was dressed up like this, the faded white hair added a strange sense of mystery.

The chief steward and the head maid looked at each other and clapped their hands.

The two of them smiled brightly at me and said that everyone would be waiting if I went to the Heavenly Demon Hall.

Perhaps the Heavenly Demon would decide my treatment in front of the elders.

"Uh, what about my junior sister and Soma?"

A question I asked just in case before leaving for the Heavenly Demon Hall.

"The two of them are already waiting in the Heavenly Demon Hall."

"Ah, yes."

I patted my stomach and headed to the Heavenly Demon Hall.

Wouldn't he forgive me by just destroying my dantian at the very least?

When I entered the Heavenly Demon Hall, as expected, all the elders of the Divine Cult were waiting.

At the end of it was the Heavenly Demon, and on either side were my older brother and my junior sister.

Soma, for some reason, was also among the elders.

"Come forward."

At the Heavenly Demon's words, I walked with long strides.

"You have deceived the Divine Cult and have dared to deceive me, the Heavenly Demon. Do you admit it?"

"Yes. I admit it."

"Then, do you also swear to receive punishment for all this?"

"Yes. I swear."

"Alright. I, the Heavenly Demon Hyuk Sa-wol, hereby order the reinstatement of Yoo Jae-ha as the young leader."

"What?"

What all of a sudden?

"I have not yet revoked your authority as the young leader. I just put it on a temporary basis."

"What? What about the punishment you mentioned earlier?"

"You are still the young leader of the Divine Cult. But since you left that position without a word, we can just have a new young leader competition in this place."

"I'm a public enemy of the martial world."

"We are the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult."

"I also killed the emperor."

"We are the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult."

The Heavenly Demon leaned back in his chair and asked.

"If you're not confident, leave this place now. After today, I will never hold you back again."

I looked back.

I knew this was not the way.

I also knew that it was purely my greed.

I had a dream when I first entered the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult.

I had achieved that dream, but it wasn't a real achievement.

Can I, who am like this, dream again?

They say that humans are selfish creatures.

Even if my decision now is wrong.

I decided to be greedy.

Because this is the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, where the law of the jungle is the top priority.

"My name is Yoo Jae-ha."

Roar.

I continued, releasing all my energy.

"All you guys who have a problem, come out."

Flinch.

I could see everyone just watching.

Fidget.

I saw Soma, who couldn't stay still for a moment.

I also saw those who openly showed their dissatisfaction.

On the contrary, I also saw those who were genuinely worried about the future situation.

People of all kinds.

Everyone was just whispering, and no one was stepping forward.

Thump.

Just then.

"Yoo Soo-ah, the daughter of the former leader, the Mad World Heavenly Demon, requests a martial arts contest for the position of the young leader."

The person who broke the silence and stood in front of me was perhaps the person I wanted to fight the least in this place.

In the past, I had fought my junior sister for the position of the young leader, and I had been miserably beaten.

The former Heavenly Demon and my grandfather had told me.

That the great flow of causality goes around and eventually finds its place.

It seemed those words were right.

Because in the end, I was standing in front of my junior sister again.

And just as I had in the past.

It seemed I couldn't concede the young leader position this time either.

"I accept."

At the same time as my permission, my junior sister's energy began to fill the great hall.

Rumble.

When the two huge energies collided, the great hall trembled as if it would collapse.

Boom!

Soon, the great hall could not withstand it and collapsed.

At the same time, when the Heavenly Demon gestured, the debris of the great hall all floated into the air and flew somewhere.

And outside, the elite warriors of the Divine Cult were waiting.

As if they had known that this fight would happen.

Screech.

My junior sister drew her sword and aimed it at me.

My junior sister opened her mouth with a serious gaze, unlike usual.

"Because I'd rather have my senior brother be a cripple and be by my side than die in vain outside, I will definitely not go easy on you this time."

Swish.

My junior sister kicked off the ground and extended her sword.

The energy at the tip of the sword was a kind that I was familiar with.

To think that the Twin Poles can be spread like that.

As expected, my junior sister was amazing.

I extended my sword to face her.

The Twin Poles breaking technique, the Reverse Twin Poles.
