Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Innocent Serpent and Three Years Later.

"You heard it all, even the Ghost Illusion Clan saw no involvement of my Clan on this dreadful matter." Musong Ryo said.

This was actually quite difficult to achieve, Mujin had to make all of their deaths as natural as possible, as making it too direct would alert the Ghost Illusion Clan of their involvement. Thankfully he managed to pull it off, but it took a long time, half a year to be exact.

"Lord, your verdict?" Great Guardian Marakyum asked Cheon Yujong while bowing his head deep.

Yujong pondered deeply, inside his head thousands of calculations were already being made. Hundreds of possibility and solution came and go and after screening through all of them he decided on one.

"There is no clear evidence of the Emerald Serpent Clan's involvement. I hearby deem them innocent." Yujong declared.

Mu Jinwon gritted his teeth and frustration, he clutch his hands and squeezed them hard from anger. But even though he was angry he still didn't release any killing or murderous intent as this would cause him more trouble.

Yujong chose this route because he wanted to prevent the Six Clan from gaining more power, if Mu Jinwon were to succed and steal the Emerald Serpent Clan's wealth then they would reign as the super power of the cult only under the Lord.

And he can't let that happen so he sided with the other party even though he himself knew that Mu Jinwon's accusations were true.

"Do you have any complains 1st Council Elder?" Asked Great Guardian Marakyum.

"No more, thank you for entertaining my foolish thoughts my lord." Mu Jinwon said.

And with that the meeting ended.

"You were right once again Mujin." Musong Ryo said to his grandson.

"I always am." Arrogantly replied Mujin to his grandfather's word. Musong Ryo sighed at Mujin's word his grandson was getting arroagant and what's worse he can't even refute it because he is right.

Pondering for a bit Musong Ryo asked "What's your plan now?"

To which his grandson smiled to and answered.

"Prepare. Prepare for the Demonic Academy."

And so with that Cheon Mujin spent his last three years preparing for academy training as much as he could and using his Clan's welath to gather around martial arts all over Yulin to strengthen himself.

He still worked behind the scene, he killed comeptitions regularly if he sees any problem arising from any of his business then he would step out and kill them.

With that Three Years arrived.

****

On a dark forest a group of assassins can be seen around hopping from one tree to another stalking a young man who's on his 15's.

He ran with all his might, trying to get away from the assassin's might but in the end he tripped on the ground.

"Are you telling me… that I've been dancing in the middle of your palms from the start," The young man said in ridicule to himself and in despair.

"You must've had quite the rouble running all the way here, Prince Cheon, well done," One of the assassins aroggantly and smugly said to the young man.

That young man is Cheon Yeowun, the 7th Prince or Young Master of the Cheon Family. He is the son of lady Hwa Yun, the only women that the Lord loved but unfortunately she died because of the schemes of the concubines from the Six Clans.

"Why? I even gave up enrolling on the academy? What more do you want from me?" Cheon Yeowun defiantly asked the assassins.

Then onw of the pursuer answered his question.

"Even if you gave up on the academy or you have absolutely no talent in martial arts as long as you hold the blood of the Lord you are a threat."

"Even if you have 'peasant blood' mixed in you, you are still within the bloodline of the Lord and that grants you rights to fight for the throne,"

Hearing the word peasant blood, Cheon Yeowun's blood boiled in rage. He gritted his teeth and anger and clutched his hands.

'Peasant blood! How dare they dishonor my mother!' He thought in anger as his body screamed in rage.

'There's no way they would send me off with painless death, if I'm going to die either way I'll atleast bring one of them down with me!' Cheon Yeowun pulled out the knife Guatd Jang have gifted him and pointed it at the arrogant assassins.

"Ho? A knife? Did Guard Jang perhaps taught you some martial arts?" He tilted his head in curiousity but seeing Cheon Yeowun's clumsy pose and posture he thought otherwise.

"Seems not." He said. Then he commanded his group to attack.

"Kill him!" All of the assassins

simultaneusly charged at Cheon Yeowun. To defend himself the 7th Prince mindlessly swung his knife left and right, up and down, as if swatting away some flies to keep the assassins away but this people are martial arts master.

And such sloppy swing would do no damage to them as it would only make them giggle at how amusing it is.

One of the assassins grabbed Cheon Yeowun's arm and disarmed it of it's knife then he held out his palm and grabbed Cheon Yeowun's neck lifting him off the ground.

"Is that the end of your little retaliation?" Rirdiculed the assassin. But suddenly as he got too comfortable he didn't notice that Cheon Yeowun had his left hand behind his back.

"LOOK OUT!"

Before he could even process it, Cheon Yeowon pulled out another knife and stabbed it right under his chin piercing his brain directly, killing him.

Even with such circumstances Cheon Yeowon pulled out a one on them, this just shows that even without Nano Machine he is highly competent and scary.

"Hehe serves you right," Cheon Yeowun laughed victoriously.

'What how did such a young man who doesn't even know martial arts killed one of our members,'

'Was his mindless swinging eatliest just a rust to make us lower our guards?' The assassins thought in shock.

"You damned brat!" One of their members roared in fury, he strode forward Cheon Yeowun and kicked him in the chin.

"Kghh!"

"You fucking brat! Just because we went easy on you!"

"Don't even think of a painless death!" He stabbed his sword on Cheon Yeowun's side making the young man scream in agony.

"ARRGHHHH!"

"How does it feel to have a hole in your body?" Then like a fucking asshole he stepped on Cheon Yeowon's already beaten up body. It seems like he got the satisfactionof beating someone weaker than him.

Typical weakling, only strong against the weak yet so meek in front of the strong.

Suddenly as he was about to once again stab the 7th Prince's body, a bright beam appeared out of nowhere and killed the man who was stepping on Cheon Yeowun's body. He was popped like a ballon, splattering blood and gore all over the ground.

Out of nowhere a figure emerged from the dark woods. He was wearing a pecular clothing, he didn't have any robe nor did he have any eastern resemblance in clothing. He was like any modern person you would see in the 21st Century.

"He's behind us!" Shouted one of the assassins.

"I'll kill you!" Charged one of the man but a beam once again passed through and killed him as he dash forward.

The mysterious modern man then dissapeared into the wind, it was like he performed a Qinggong technique. One by one all of the assassins were killed until there was only kne left.

'Shit! I need to retreat!' But before he could even take another step he felt something pass through his chest, looking down he saw a gaping hole on it. And with that he fell to the ground, dead and cold.

Even though Cheon Yeowun's eye became hazy from bloodloss he still maamged to witness their death which made him happy.

"Ha! Serves them right," he muttered while smiling.

"It seems that anscesteor is in a good mood," the nyaterious man approached him and crouched down in front of his body.

Then he looked at his watch and muttered.

"Did they find me already? Shit! I guess ther's no choice!" He pulled out so something from his pockets and said.

"I was going to come here earlier and teach you how to use this, but I guess we'll have to improvise," Then the mysterious man stabbed the device he pulled out from his pocket into Cheon Yeowun's body.

"It's making me cringe injecting it,"

"Alright done~"

He stood up and said to Cheon Yeowun.

"Hey ancestor-nim? Please make sure to succed and make this descendent's life easire okay?"

"That Nano Machine is the latest version, operating it should be easy! So goodluck learning how to use it!" Then with a flash the mysterious man suddenly dissapeared. It was like a mysterious win coming in an instant and dissapearing in an instant too.

As Cheon Yeowun wrestled with how ridicule his night were a sudden voice emerged on his head.

[Serial Number… 035-4532-5893]

'What's happening? There's a strange voice inside my head!'

[7th Generation Nano Machine. Starting Activation.]

Behind all of this an unsettling string like eyes observed. He witnessed everything, from the assassin to the appearance of the mysterious man, he could've stopped this all and intervened but he refrained from doing so, or to be more exact he had to let it all flow according to the original.

'Now the true game begins.' Thought Mujin dissapearing through the darkness of the forest.
