I Ended Up Becoming The Heavenly Demon’s True Best Friend, Even Though He’s Shy Around Others

Chapter 90

Although they themselves did not know it, while they were having a match with Ya Socheong, the impurities accumulated in their blood vessels were removed and their blood vessels widened as they were hit by him.

It was something that could not even be imagined unless one was a person like Ya Socheong, whose internal energy was profound and who had achieved great success in various martial arts.

The junior lords were just thinking that their bodies felt lighter than before, but others noticed their changes more accurately.

Even after that, whenever they had time, they went to the Nether Shadow Faction, and even if they couldn't meet Ya Socheong, they had matches with other people of the Nether Shadow Faction.

At first, they were reluctant to have matches with others, thinking that they should not show their secret techniques, but having matches with the people of the Nether Shadow Faction was actually more beneficial to the junior lords.

Ya Socheong, for his part, actively utilized the junior lords.

As he came into contact with various martial arts of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art through the junior lords, he could imagine the other martial arts that would have been in the Heavenly Demon Cave.

There were many cases where the junior lords, while having a match with Ya Socheong, came to know things that they themselves had not realized.

Achievement was not made by only one person.

But Ya Socheong was certainly fast.

The junior lords, seeing Ya Socheong unfold a realm that they had not even been able to get close to, made a genuinely wondrous expression.

Once they saw it unfold from Ya Socheong, they could know where they had to reach.

Once they saw it, it was much easier to draw a picture.

And they could set that as a goal and strive for it.

Ya Socheong, who had been training day and night, called the junior lords one day.

The junior lords, now, were worried first when Ya Socheong called.

Their bodies were tense, and it felt like they were in pain even though they hadn't been hit.

But Ya Socheong, whether he knew that or not, sat them down and said.

"I have something to say to you, junior lords."

"Do you have to? If you think you don't have to, don't."

Dan Mok-hwawun, who no longer had the confidence to listen to what Ya Socheong had to say, said politely.

The other junior lords also had the same thought.

Ya Socheong smiled as if he knew why they were doing that.

But it was a story that had to be told.

"It's about the painting of the Demonic God that was said to be in Cheonbong Mountain."

The junior lords, even when Ya Socheong brought that up, had not imagined that they would hear the next story.

"I have found the painting."

"...What?"

All the junior lords were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

It wasn't that they were surprised that he had found the painting.

It was more surprising how many people Ya Socheong had lied to.

It seemed that the fact that they had been deceived was nothing.

Hadn't he deceived even the Sect Leader and the fifth prince?

The junior lords couldn't even speak properly and just looked at each other.

"Why..."

And yet, they couldn't continue their words properly, and Ya Socheong opened his mouth again.

"I will show you the painting."

Then he unfolded the rolled-up painting on the desk.

Although the junior lords were curious, at that moment, they did not want to see the painting.

It was because they thought that they would not be able to handle the consequences if they saw the painting.

But Ya Socheong, without caring about them, unfolded the painting wide.

"Actually, there were jades attached here and here. But when I took them off, a map came out."

The junior lords, who had been wondering if the thing drawn on the Demonic God's forehead was a map, were dumbfounded when they heard what Ya Socheong was saying.

Is he doing this because he trusts us?

To be able to say so confidently that he had taken the jades off the painting of the Demonic God.

But Ya Socheong's words did not stop there.

"There may be treasure if we go to this place. I hope that you, junior lords, will go with me."

The junior lords looked at each other.

Now, they could not know how to take Ya Socheong's words.

They would know best that they were not trustworthy.

But they wondered why he was saying that he would go with them, leaving behind the trustworthy junior brothers of the Nether Shadow Faction.

In the end, Dan Mok-seol asked that first, and Ya Socheong smiled.

"The junior brothers will also go. I am just saying that I would be grateful if you, junior lords, would also go."

"Wouldn't we just be in the way?"

Although Dan Mok-hwawun was not a person who lacked confidence, at that time, such words came out on their own.

"I think it will be a good opportunity. I don't know what kind of things we will encounter there, but if we just survive, I think everyone will grow by one step."

"Can you guarantee that we won't die?"

Although Dan Mok-heukya asked, Ya Socheong did not answer.

He had said something important, but he had not answered at all.

"From now on, I will introduce my junior brothers to each of you, junior lords. As much as you train hard, you will be able to guarantee your safety there."

The junior lords, it was starting to be suspected that the matter of coming to see Ya Socheong was a really good thing.

* * *

The junior lords, and the children of the Nether Shadow Faction, could not understand how Ya Socheong had found that place just by looking at the map in the painting.

But once they stood there, it seemed that they could know that the place in the map was that place.

A small island whose name was unknown and whose existence was not known.

It was an island that repeatedly appeared and disappeared, coming and going with the high waves.

It was by no means easy to reach that place by boat because of the reefs scattered everywhere and the rough waves.

Even after reaching the island, the waves, as if they would not let them go, rose high.

They were not at ease about whether the tied boat would be safe, and in the end, they had to pull the boat up to the island.

The people who had climbed the island felt a strange feeling as they saw the dense fog that was cast everywhere on the island.

It was a place they would not want to come to unless there was a special reason.

On the way, there were several crises where the boat was almost broken after being caught in a terrifying whirlpool.

No matter how much they had constantly trained in martial arts, at that time, their hearts had sunk several times.

Since they had broken through that path, they earnestly hoped that they had not come in vain.

But seeing the scene that unfolded in front of them, they felt a sense of trust for no reason.

"From now on, we don't know what will fly from where. After going forward, a weapon may fly from behind, so it would be good to break everything as much as possible while going."

After Ya Socheong spoke, he walked forward.

His junior brothers also followed behind, holding their weapons firmly, and the junior lords also followed behind, their eyes shining.

As Ya Socheong had said, hidden weapons poured out from all directions.

It was an exquisitely made mechanism trap.

But since their residence was surrounded by a mechanism trap, rather than being vaguely difficult, they each quickly ran towards the place where the hidden weapons were flying and swung their swords, which were loaded with internal energy.

Since they had to attack in the fleeting moment before the hidden weapons flew out, it was not something anyone could do, but they performed it without difficulty.

The junior lords also participated in that, and they successfully broke several mechanism traps.

They had done things that were unimaginable until just a short time ago, and Ya Socheong, seeing that, smiled with satisfaction.

Ya Socheong could not delay time there.

The island was slowly sinking again.

If they did not finish their work quickly and leave, they would sink into the water with the treasure they had found here.

So they did not even have the leisure to open what they had found at their leisure.

"We must leave this place by boat first."

At Ya Socheong's words, everyone flew away without even looking back.

There was no one who hesitated, saying that they would take a little more.

It would be better to live a little poorly than to be left alone on this strange island.

They took the boat they had pulled up and put it back in the water.

The waves, which had risen in an instant, flew towards them as if they would never let them go this time and hit their faces.

The sharp water was like a weapon, and it seemed to be trying to tear their faces.

Everyone was just thinking that they had to break through that high wave and survive.

Since the thoughts in their heads were simple, their goal was also simple.

When the boat finally reached the shore, the party got off the boat, soaking wet.

Nearby, the carriage they had ridden in was entrusted.

They must have thought that they were strange people.

He had thought that since the carriage and horses they had ridden looked so good, they might be greedy, and it had turned out to be true.

Seeing Ya Socheong's party coming up to the shore, dozens of people gathered and approached that place.

It seemed that they thought that now was the opportunity, as they were tired from breaking through the high waves.

Ya Socheong found it funny that the people who would soon lose their lives out of a small greed did not even recognize who they were.

"We will not step up. You four, try it. Didn't you not have a chance to display your skills on the island?"

When Ya Socheong said that, the junior lords all nodded.

It was just when they had been thinking that it would be good if he entrusted it to them.

Dan Mok-hwawun drew his sword.

At that, at the tremendous momentum, the people in front of him flinched.

Although they seemed to be martial artists, they were people who had gathered after hearing that even if they were martial artists, if their stamina was low and their internal energy was exhausted, they were no different from ordinary people.

They didn't know what they had gone to the sea to find, but even if they came empty-handed, people had gathered, saying that it would be a profit if they disposed of the carriage and horses and divided the money.

They soon blamed themselves for their misjudgment.

But there was no time to regret.

Dan Mok-cheongyeong squeezed into the crowd.

With a violent hitting sound, people collapsed.

It was not something to be taken lightly just because they were hit and collapsed.

They were pushed back dozens of feet and could not get up again.

One arm and leg trembled in the empty air and then drooped, and they could not move again.

Dan Mok-heukya followed behind him and swung his sword, and Dan Mok-seol went back and forth between the people like the wind.

The sword could not even be seen properly.

Grabbing someone's neck, breaking the neck bone, cutting the waist, and stabbing the sword into the heart.

In an instant, the surroundings became a sea of blood.

When people were surprised and tried to run away, someone appeared without fail on the path they were trying to run away on.

And without warning, they swung their sword.

It was an endlessly light, sharp, and precise movement.

With the sound of a tree branch breaking, a neck was broken on one side, an arm was broken, and a chest bone was crushed.

After finishing the slaughter, they threw the corpses in one place and piled them up.

"It's taking a long time."

At Ya Socheong's words, the junior lords flinched.

"If it's not over, we will go first."

Then Ya Socheong really moved his body with his junior brothers.

Thinking that if they didn't hurry and follow, they would really just leave, everyone hurried.

It was just when they were starting to get curious about what was inside.
