Nano Machine - Chapter 228

It was the highest peak of the Demonic Cult in the history, so everyone was confused by the decision. The Great High Lord was one of top five warrior of the Jianghu and he wasn’t injured or old.

“It was then Great High Lord was commanding expedition into Kangsoh Castle.”

After attempting few times on attacking Kangsoh Castle, the Great High Lord suddenly stepped down from his post and locked himself in a closed room to train. It was after five years that he came out from the room. Great High Lord had become so much powerful then he ever was.

“Elder Yin. Do you remember when Great High Lord had gone missing?”

“…Wasn’t it at fall?”

At the season of harvest, Great High Lord Chun Inji went missing. He didn’t say anything or leave any words so many cultists were dispatched to find him but he was no where to be seen.

“On the night before he went missing… I saw Great High Lord.”

“What? You saw him? Why didn’t you say anything then?”

As far as Yin Moha knew, Great Guardian Marakim had served under Great High Lord Chun Inji and Lord Chun Yujong both. But he said that he does not know where Chun Inji had went.

“He ordered me to stay silent, but he didn’t tell me where he was going anyway.”

On the night before, Chun Inji came over to Marakim’s room in secret.

“The Lord told me to keep it as a secret and gave me an order.”

“What order was it?”

“If he does not return in 10 years, then I should teach ones who have connection to the Sword Family of martial art of Sky Demon. And that I should not think about the will of the Sky Demon.”

“Ah… S-so that was the order of Great High Lord?”

Chun Inji, before he became the Lord, had once entered underground treasure vault after passing the sixth test. That’s why he knew the secret of the Sky Demon.

‘I see… so Guardians maintained the Demonic Academy so they knew.’

Guardians had access to libraries and underground treasure vaults. This was why Marakim, or Anonymous knew the True Demon Sword and the Twenty Four Demon Sword. But Sword Force of the Sky Demon was still a mystery.

“And what’s with Sword Force of the Sky Demon?”

“…That was taught by Great High Lord himself.”

“What?”

It was quite shocking to hear that Great High Lord had taught others that only successor of Chun Ma can learn. Of course, the martial art required specific energy flow so it wasn’t much of use without it, but it was still a shocking decision.

“Great High Lord said he had spent five years in closed room training to create the energy flow for the Sword Force of the Sky Demon.”

Great High Lord Chun Inji, a renowned genius, went into the closed room training and tried his best to create the energy flow that will work to use Sword Force of the Sky Demon. He ultimately failed, but he did have some progress.

“He couldn’t make the energy flow to completely digest all formations, but he created a flow that will allow use of Sword Force of the Sky Demon at least in incomplete state.”

Chun Inji then taught what he studied to Marakim and ordered him to complete it. Yeowun became curious and asked.

“Wasn’t it better for him to teach Sword Force of the Sky Demon to the Lord instead?”

“…Yes, I agree. I don’t understand why he did that… but I know that Great High Lord did not like the current Lord at the time.”

“What?”

Yin Moha nodded as she too seemed to know this.

“I heard. It was told miracle that Great High Lord even allowed to have current Lord become appointed as a Lord.”

Chun Inji was born from the Wise clan. As such, he wanted his successor to come from the Wise clan, but that did not work. After the Demonic Academy was over, Chun Yujong from Sword clan had killed almost every other princes. There were only two princes left when the academy was over.

“Remaining candidate was his own brother from same clan, but he even cut his brother’s right arm.”
