Chapter 56:
Losing everything and everyone you love is like having the ground beneath you crumble away. The pain is a deep, relentless ache that permeates every moment, leaving you with a profound sense of emptiness. It's as if a vital part of your being has been torn away, and the world around you becomes a desolate landscape. Grief becomes a constant companion, and the simplest tasks may feel insurmountable as you grapple with the enormity of your loss.
When Cheon Yeowun saw his subordinate's head drop to the ground, his whole world crumbled. This are the people who were precious to him, they were with him through thick and thin. There was nothing more painful than seeing them die in front of you, and by the hands of your brother no less.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Cheon Yeowun lost himself in anger. He jumped on Cheon Mujin even though he was very weak, he screamed in with his most raw furious anger. He was going to kill him.
But Cheon Mujin dodged his attacks with ease. Cheon Yeowun was done, he was defeated, Sama Yi fell to his knees in despair, his deep grief and regret consuming him. The two are in no state to fight at all, everyone is.
And so the two elders who was still rational decided to retreat. They ran towards Cheon Yeowun and grabbed him, even though Cheon Mujin could've stopped them, the latter didn't, he just let them.
They lifted Cheon Yeowun's limp body up the ground and made a run for it.
"Get a grip all of you! We can't win right now! If you want revenge, become stronger after we escape and take it after we come back stringer!" Yeon Mun Hwa shouted at the remaining six swords who was wallowing in despair. Upon her words they regained their clarity and nodded.
Cheon Yeowun was specially struck. That is righh, if he don't want to lose what he has left then he will have to get a grip and save his remaining subordinate. He can take his revenge later on.
"You are right. We will take revenge once we escape."
"Mark this day Cheon Mujin! I will come back and I will kill you!"
Cheon Yeowun made a run for it, Great Guardian Marakyum was about to go after them but Cheon Mujin stopped him. As Cheon Yeowun was escaping, Cheon Mujin sent him a telepathic message.
He was not done yet.
[By the way. I'm the one who killed our father.] Cheon Yeowun heard this and he gritted his teeth. His anger further deepened, he wanted to go back and kill Cheon Mujin but he knew that's impossible, so he continued his stride with much more resentment that the last. Promising that he will guve Cheon Mujin the most painful death ever.
Cheon Muji observed their disappearing fighre with a mysterious smile. He didn't seem displease at all that his targey escaped, in fact you could see a bit tint of happiness.
"My Lord are you sure it is wise to let them get away?" Great Guardian asked. To which Cheon Mujin replied.
"Let them be. I have plans for them." Great Guardian nodded at him.
"Call for an emergency meeting, it's about time the Cult learns their true lord."
"All hail the Lord! All hail the Second Cheon Ma!" Great Guardian Marakyum shouted in reverence before disappearing into the wind leaving Cheon Mujin alone within the deeply scarred forest.
"You seem happy, God." Cheon Mujin looked up in the sky and saw the crescent moon who resembles that of a smile, a radiant glow emitted from it for a split second seemingly implying that it heard him.

The Main Hall of the Sky Demon Order. Everyone, from the smallest Clan Leader to the Leader of the Six Clans gathered around it. But strangely enough, even though everyone was gathered, three council elders were still not present. Usually they would've just thought of it as tardiness but Council Elders do not have those, they are not lazy.
"Why did an emergency meeting happen?" Asked one of the Clan Leaders.
"We do not know. Great Guardian has yet to fill us in with the details; he just sent us a message that a meeting will commence." Replied another.
"Whatever it is I'm sure it is of great importance." As the Clan Leaders talked around, the grand gate of the hall suddenly swung open, from it Great Guardian Marakyum alongside with a very familiar figure arrived in tow.
By what it seems, Great Guardian was walking behind the young man; Cheon Mujin, as if he was escorting his Lord. Which is highly unusual since he only escorts the Lord, Cheon Yeowun, but from what it looks like it seems that he is indeed escorting Cheon Mujin.
The Elder of Disgrace was also wearing something quite unbefitting of his status. He was wearing a black tobe accuentated by golden linings which is the robe of the Lord.
"What in God's name is going on! Why is the Edler of Disgrace wearing the Lord's attire!" Someone from the crowd of Clan Leaders protested. Everyone nodded their head as they too were having the same questions but no answers came to them.
Cheon Mujin continued his walk until he finally arrived at the Lord's throne. With everyone's gaze piercing through him, he smiled. And then he sat on the throne.
The hall fell into a deep silence. No one spoke a word as they were too shocked to even utter a coherent sentence. Then suddenly killing intent glowed out from each and everyone of the Clan Leaders and Elders present and directed it at Cheon Mujin.
Their murderous gaze asking why Cheon Mujin is commiting such blasphemy. They expected Great Guardian to do the same too but suddenly he raised his aura up and countered everyone's killing intent before shouting.
"Stop this audacity!!"
"How dare you all direct your killing intent towards the Lord!!" The Great Guardian shouted which shocked everyone.
Everyone abruptly stopped whatever they were doing right now and gawked at his words. Great Guardian, the most fiercely loyal subordinate of the Lord shouting at them, Cheon Yeowun is the current Lord, why would someone who is so loyal to the throne dare utter such words that implies that Cheon Mujin is the Lord. There is no way this is happening.
"Haha. Forgive them Great Guardian, for they are ignorant." From the background Cheon Mujin laughed. Then he got up from the throne and suddenly something dark flowed out from his palm, the dark energy coursed through his arms until it enveloped the wristguard he was wearing.
Then, the wristguard on his arm disassembled itself and floated in the air. Dark demon-like force qi exuding from it that was urging them to kneel in reverence and submission, as if their most primal instinct was telling them to worship it.
Then it formed. A glistening drk sword with a character engraved on it, [Sky Demon Sword].
Thud.
One by one knees fell to the ground. Hands were cusp and clasp. Everyone had their one knee embedded to the ground with a dark glint present on their eyes. And in unison they all greeted.
"We welcome the Second Generation Cheon Ma! All hail the Lord! All hail Cheon Ma! All hail the sacred flame!"
