Chapter 76: Heavenly Demon Divine Cult Serial Murder Case: The Night Of A Murder Without A Culprit (4)
Tian Shan Divine City.
It was the main base of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, as well as a city built by the survivors of the Fire Worship Cult.
Tian Shan Divine City was larger than most medium-sized cities.
The city’s population was diverse.
Descendants of the Fire Worship Cult, nearby barbarians, refugees from the Central Plains who had converted to the Divine Cult, and disciples of the Unorthodox Faction and Demonic Path who had moved due to persecution.
Additionally, there were also technicians and their families who had been kidnapped and unwillingly settled there.
Thus, with its population, territory, and numerous armed groups, the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult was like a small nation of itself.
However, the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult had a significant problem.
Ever since the Celestial Martial Emperor stole their Divine Arts and hid them somewhere, there was a Supreme, but no Heavenly Demon.
A Heavenly Demon Divine Cult without a Heavenly Demon!
It was like a meat bun without meat.
Yet, even without meat, it still looked good on the outside.
They had placed a legitimate heir on the throne as the Supreme.
Nevertheless, it was still just a ruler without Divine Arts.
Listening to Gyeon Pohee’s explanation, Qing nodded in agreement.
“You’re talking about the Alleged Supreme, right, Senior Sister?”
“Yeah! Huh!? No?! You can’t use such bad words!”
Surprised, Gyeon Pohee covered Qing’s mouth.
The Alleged Supre… No, it was blasphemous to even say it.
If the enforcers of the Discipline Hall, or even other Senior Sisters, heard it, they could be beheaded for such remarks.
Qing emphasized through her blocked mouth.
“Aweged Supweme.”
“Ssseup. No. Don’t. You shouldn’t say such bad words. Bad girl.”
Exactly who was calling whom a bad girl?
Qing was so dumbfounded that she kept silent.
“The Supreme is currently in an incomplete state. However, once we retrieve the Divine Arts!”
“Then?”
“The Supreme has blocked his meridians and sealed his dantian himself. Once he recovers the Divine Arts, he will overcome Qi Deviation and soar beyond the Demonic Descent Realm to become the future Heavenly Demon.”
It seemed like the Natural Realm Wannabe had that type of setting.
However, to Qing, it sounded no different from a gambler boasting they would repay their debt.
By the way.
“Soar? You know about such an advanced word? Do you even know what it means, Senior Sister?”
“I don’t! I heard it during our lessons!”
And this was the downside of rote education.
“When that day comes, the 100,000 Divine Cult disciples led by the strongest Heavenly Demon in history will sweep across the Central Plains, defeating the oppressors and fanning the holy flames of the Divine Cult!”
What? Their mindset was more akin to the Qianlima1 than the Heavenly Demon.
Qing asked again, dumbfounded.
“What will you do after fanning the Divine Cult’s holy flames?”
“Well, obviously, I don’t know anything! I’m sure the higher-ups would know!”
Qing summoned the Martial Arts Window.
The ever-aggressive Purple Lightning Qi burst out from her dantian as soon as she willed it.
“I was going to, but you’re already cripp, I mean, ah. Sorry. Your leg is injured, so I feel sorry for you.”
Qing withdrew her True Qi.
Her Purple Lightning Qi seemed to hesitate before returning.
“Then it seems you’ll just get beaten if you stay here anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to come with me?”
“But if I get caught leaving my post, then tomorrow…”
No wonder she disappeared after breakfast.
She must have been dragged around all day.
When Qing asked about it, Gyeon Pohee laughed sillily.
“Hehe, actually, they told me to bring Junior Sister, but you just got here and haven’t adjusted yet, so… And your leg is injured…”
Qing was flabbergasted.
“Ha. What a complete retard.”
“Huh!? Huh? What? Me…?”
“You’re going to drive me crazy. Crazy, I tell you. Why are you living like that?”
“Huh. what, w-what did I even do…”
Gyeon Pohee made a tearful face.
Qing sighed deeply.
“That, who was she again? Senior Sister Ok? Did she call for me too?”
“Huh? Yeah…”
Gyeon Pohee answered hesitantly.
Qing spoke with an unyielding firmness.
“Enough. Carry me to her.”
----
Ok Hwahwa was the Fifth Disciple of the Second-Grade.
She was favored by the Fourth Disciple of the First Grade, Yeom Heeji. and was part of that faction, acting as the faction’s disciplinarian.
After having dinner, she was bored and thought about calling someone to discipline.
Just then, someone knocked on her door and shouted loudly.
Ok Hwahwa contemplated for a moment.
Gyeon Pohee wasn’t all that fun to bully.
She was a simpleton without any malice or guts, just crying silently like an idiot.
Even just this morning, hadn’t she disciplined her because she talked back and refused to bring the new youngest?
Yes, she wasn’t any fun at all.
Hadn’t she been promoted to the Seventh Disciple of the Third-Grade just this morning?
Ok Hwahwa considered for a moment.
Gyeon Pohee’s voice called out again.
Ok Hwahwa tilted her head.
Junior Sister Xi? Her name was definitely Ximen Qing. Then wouldn’t it be Junior Sister Ximen?
Menqing wasn’t an uncommon name.
But it wasn’t a name that a Xi family would give to a daughter.
It would be confusing since it sounded similar to the Ximen family’s name.
Still, well, it wasn’t like it was impossible.
“Come in.”
Ok Hwahwa smiled wickedly.
But unfortunately, it would take some time to confirm the new recruit’s face.
Because just as the door opened and she tried to see how she looked…
Suddenly, her shin went .
The other shin went as well.
“Ouch.”
Ok Hwahwa let out a rather cute sound and bent over.
She saw binyeos, used as hair ornaments, sticking out of both her shins.
Only after seeing the wounds did the excruciating pain hit her.
Ok Hwahwa took a deep breath to scream.
“Keuk. Heuk.”
Then, it almost seemed as if she heard a bell, as a blow struck her upper abdomen, making her exhale sharply and roll off the bed.
The dinner she had just eaten came rushing up.
“Senior Sister. Close the door.”
“Okie! Got it!”
. The door locked.
----
It was pleasantly cool from the early evening of the summer, probably because of Tian Shan Divine City’s high altitude.
Qing, nestled in Crutch No. 2, had an infinitely clear gaze.
“Hmmhm…”
Crutch No. 2 also seemed to be in a good mood.
Along with unusually glossy skin, she hummed a tune with a bright expression akin to the sun.
The younge- No, the Seventh Disciple of the Bliss Palace Third-Grade disciples, Second-Rate martial artist Gyeon Pohee no longer existed.
Instead, there was only Gyeon Pohee, the Fifth Disciple of the Second-Grade and a martial artist who had just stepped foot into the First-Rate Realm.
Footnotes
1. This is a double entendre. Cheonlima and Cheonma do not use the same Chinese characters. However, they are spelled similarly in Korean. However, Qianlima(also known as Cheonlima) is a mythical horse that originates from the Chinese classics and is commonly portrayed in East Asian mythology. The winged horse is said to be too swift and elegant to be mounted by any mortal man and is named after its ability to travel one thousand li in a single day. As such, this pun is saying how fantastical their ideas are.2. "Unprecedented and unmatched! The Big Dipper, Star of the Celestial Pivot! Incomparable throughout history, whether ancient or modern!"
