Chapter 50

Chapter 50:

The Wulin Alliance envoy's major negotiator consisted of three prominent figures from the Forces of Justice. Poong Chungwoo of the Seventeen Heroes, the Clan Leader of Mount Hua Sect.

The Clan Leader of the Moyong Family, Moyong Kang, also part of the Seventeen Heroes of the Forces of Justice, alongside him is his son and. The heir of Moyong Clan, Moyong Seyun.

And finally there's the strategist of the Wulin Alliance, Jeagal Sohi, the fianceé of Yeon Buso, son of the North Justice Blade. Proclaimed as the most beautiful women of the Forces of Justice and one of the "Three Most Beautiful Women of Wulin."

Behind them are dozens of martial masters from a prominent clan of the Wulin Alliance.

These people here are present to propose a temporary alliance. An alliance that will last only after they reclaimed their respective territory from the Blade God Six Martial Clan.

"Greetings! Loyal Cultist of the Demonic Cult, we are the envoy sent by our alliance leader North Justice Blade Yi Mok."

"On behalf of the great clans of Wulin, I salute to the Lord of the Demon Cult." Greeting Jeagal Sohi by cupping her hands together, she was the one who was at the forefront, seemingly to be the representative of the entire envoy.

But despite that, instead of hearing a warm welcome from the one she greeted, she received a scrutinizing look from the cultists instead, especially the Great Guardian.

There was a still moment of silence, an awkward air wafted around them as no one acknowledged their greeting. Only then after the thirty second mark passed did someone said a word.

"I welcome the guests from the Wulin Alliance… but…" it was Cheon Yeowun who spoke up, breaking the awkward ice. Cheon Yeowun conjured his words in a soft manner and low volume yet it seemed to bounce off in every corner of the hall as if he was using a speaker to convey his words.

"How could someone representing the entire Wulin Alliance hide their face in front of their host?"

Jeagol Sohi was actually covering her face with a soft silk preventing others from seeing her. This has been her habit since revealing her face to others causes some troublesome situations due to her beauty.

"I'm so sorry for being so rude, my Lord!" Jeagal Sohi apologized and lifted the silk fabric revealing her face. Shocked gasp responded all over from the hall, from the Cult all the way to the envoys themselves, a gasp of admiration of her beauty.

"The Second Strategist of the Wulin Alliance, Heagal Sohi, greets the Lord." She greeted once again, this time with her face revealed.

Cheon Yeowun acknowledged her greetings and nodded.

"The Alliance Leader sent a very precious individual. I welcome you once again." Cheon Yeowun said then he pointed at the tables and urged them to sit.

"Take a seat." After taking a seat, a bountiful feast was prepared for them. The servants walked in delivering various delicacies that would surely make one mouth water.

"Greetings envoy of Wulin Alliance I'm the Second Council Elder of the Cult, Kyung Bon-gi." The Second Elder greeted them and introduced himself. Followed by him was the third elder.

"Greetings envoy of the Wulin Alliance, I'm the Third Elder…."

"Greetings envoy of the Wulin Alliance, I'm the fourth Elder…."

"Greetings envoy of the Wulin Alliance, I'm the Fifth Elder…"

"Greetings envoy of the Wulin Alliance, I'm the Sixth Elder…"

"Greetings envoy of the Wulin Alliance, I'm the Seventh Elder,.." Slowly one by one every elders introduced themselves. But strangely enough for the envoys there was someone missing, they heard from their intelligence that there should be a First Elder named Cheon Mujin who is also the current Lord's brother.

"We gratefully accept your greetings!" Replied Poong Chungwoo as he stepped in.

"Umm but not to be rude but wasn't there supposed to be a First Elder named Cheon Mujin?" He followed. Upon the mention of the First Elder every person in the room stiffened up, suddenly a slightly hostile gaze emerged from their eyes threatening to come out scaring Poong Chungwoo. The same goes for Cheon Yeowun, there was a dangerous glint behind his eyes as the name of his brother.

Everyone was still angry and blaming Cheon Mujin for the death of their lord, since he was the closest to the Lord at the moment of his death. He failed to protect him causing his disastrous death, this was unacceptable.

"Pardon for the sudden hostility. The name of the First Elder is not spoken of fondly here ever since the death of our previous Lord," Cheon Yeowun said in a deep but threatening voice that held calm yet it conveys the emotion of anger and disappointment.

"Ah! I apologize for the rude question, I'm really sorry to hear what happened about the previous lord. We will make sure to cooperate to help you get revenge against the Blade God Six Martial Clan to the best of our ability." Poong Chungwoo said trying to ease down the sudden tension.

"Hmph! No need to step in. This revenge is solely going to be done only by my Cult," A sudden burst of killing intent was released from Cheon Yeowun as every cultist present in the room did. From the elders all the way down to the clan leaders, all of them releasing a threatening and furious aura at the mention of the Blade God Six Martial Clan.

The envoys of the Wulin Alliance fell to their knees, no one was exempted from their murderous aura. Some of them clutched their hearts as it felt like it was beibg crushed.

"At ease." With one word from Cheon Yeowun, the dangerous aura the cultist was releasing disappeared as if it was only a mysterious wind.

"Anyway, esteemed guest, let's eat."

*****

The feast prepared fot the Wulin Alliance guest was going fine but in all things that are good, there is an underlying evil. Unbeknowst to the Wulin Alliance there is a spy amongs them, a spy belonging to the Blade God Six Martial Clan whose sole purpose is to sabotage the meeting and prevent the two superpower from making an alliance.

"It's time." He said on the background in a quiet murmur. Then he tapped his glass with his wine cup creating a crips sound of two glass meeting each other.

Suddenly one of the people from the Wulin Alliance emvoy stood up and punched one of the cultist on the face.

The sound of a fust hitting a flesh resounded all over the place creating a complete halt to the festive mood the hall previously had.

As the realization dawned on everyone from the Wulin Alliance paled.

"What!?" All of the cultist asked in an angry voice.

'Nice it's working.' The mysterious man smirked under his guise and clanked his wine cup into the his glass making one of the envoys once again stood up and punching another cultist but this time it was blocked by the cultist.

"You idiot stop that!!" Shouted Poong Chungwoo.

"What is the meaning of this?" Asked Marakyum threateningly as he grasped the arm of the man who punched.

As the Great Guardian Marakyum tightened his grip around the latter's arm the man seemed to have woken up from his hypnotization as his pupils regained it's focus ince again.

"Wait! What's happening?" He asked confused, one moment he was drinking happily the next second the Great Guardian of the Cult was clutching his arm.

'Hehe! It's working!' He tap it once again and another one fid the same. Unable to take it anymore the cultisy staryed to retaliate leading to a messy conflict

Then suddenly as chaos was about to break out among the two superpowers of the Martial World, the huge gate of the hall swung open. From the open gate a young man with a regal robe having neatly tied hair and a string like eyes. He has returned, the First Elder Cheon Mujin.
