ecided to appeal to Yupae.

After glancing at Seol-Hwi, she said, “As we prepared for the battle, we felt a considerable spell placed in an unexpected area.
We went to find out what was happening, and they were there.”

“…And?”

“Among them was a Fangshi of a high level with considerable power.
In addition, they were with the Fourth Disciple’s people.”

Yeorin pointed to Songhwa.

“Come to think of it, I thought it would be difficult for the Fourth Disciple to have a Fangshi of such level under them, so I asked them to give me the child in order to prevent any obstructions to the Second Disciples growth but they refused.
That is how this situation unfolded.”

“Ah…”

Yupae sighed.

His troubled face softened a little.


Huh, foolish bastard.

The captain of the Hidden Truth Corps must have seemed insane to Yupae, but even if he was called here, this would change nothing.

On the contrary, they can now let Yupae carry out their task as he was the right hand of the Second Disciple.

“Fine.
Then I will ask one thing.”

“Yes.”

At Yupae’s words, Yeorin bowed her head, but the words that came next were completely unexpected.

“That child, the young Fangshi who looks to be around ten years old, he looked that powerful to you?”

“…Uh?”

Yeorin closed her eyes.
She was expecting something along the lines of “let’s get him right now,” but Yupae was speaking with an uncomfortable expression on his face.

“You’ve basically said that the child is so important that you had to kill him.
The Ghastly Troops, along with reinforcements, all are moving for this.”

And right at the end, Yupae made his point, causing Yeorin’s face to go still.

“That is…”

It was difficult to answer because if she said “yes,” it would be basically saying that she felt threatened by a child.

And if she answered “no,” then…

“Speak.”

Seeing Yupae speak like this, she bit her lip.

“The path of spells is hard to predict.
There is a saying that a tree growing just days after an incident is a huge deal and if that child grows up, the future…”

“Then, now.”

Yupae cut off Yeorin’s words.

“He isn’t at the point of threatening your unit’s existence currently, right?”

“…”

Her lips twitched as she bowed her head.
For her, Yupae looked like a different person.

The attitude of being careful about the future and trying to step on the child in advance, it now all looked like everything she did seemed to be something he didn’t approve of.

“I apologize.
This is.
How can a person who holds the position of Captain do such a thing?”

Tch

Unsurprisingly, Yupae clicked his tongue while looking at her.
A warrior in the Demonic Sect and one who was well known for his deeds did this.

He probably didn’t like how she brought in so many people despite the obvious difference in skills.

“Is that child such a plant which we have to stamp out right now? I don’t know.
As you said, one can never know what happens in the future, and if I let that child go now, is there any guarantee you can give me that he will become strong enough to threaten the Demon Lord in the future?”

“That…”

“Can you make that guarantee on the name of the Ghastly Troops?”

“…!”


Yeorin went silent.

This man could kill her if she made a false promise, and she knew that anyone could die at anytime, anywhere in the Demonic Sect.

Such is the future of those in the Sect.

“It is absurd.
If there is a person with such potential, you should be cherishing them, not cutting them down.
You should think about building them up rather than about eliminating them.
No matter how serious the fights between the factions are for the sake of power…”

Tch

Yupae clicked his tongue again.

Even if they are fighting against each other currently, they are all the members of the same Sect, and in the future, they might be serving under the same person.

The path taken should never be a path of slaughter.

Ultimately, one grows power for the sake of governing.

Yupae, rank 14 in Sect, thought that Yeorin was being pathetic.

This was due to how narrow minded she was.
She had moved to strike down other people of the same Sect simply for the fact that they didn’t serve under the same person as her.

And to kill Ma Taryong…

Especially the man who had given them the information about Mount Hua, she was ready to eliminate him as well.

She might be able to kill them all, but once news of this incident spread in the Sect, it would diminish the dignity of the Demon Lord.

“But, Mr Yupae, they crossed a line too,” Yeorin said.

She looked like she was being treated unfairly.

“They destroyed the Soulless we have created, and more than half of them are no longer in a usable state.
This damage is…”

“You still don’t get it!”

Yupae cut her off, causing her to flinch.

He had already looked extremely angry at the unit as a whole, and now he had reached the point where he started yelling.

“That damage you speak of, isn’t that what you brought on by yourselves! If you had helped them instead of fighting them, and maybe if you said you would escort them back, you would have retained all of that! Why did you think you had to use your forces against them in the first place!”

“…!”

Yeorin’s face went pale.

The quiet and dignified person she knew had now reached a peak and was severely criticizing her, which was terrifying.

“This loss of the Demon Lord’s forces falls to you! You have no idea what you should be doing and cannot even recognize the strength of others! Do you not realize yet? If they hadn’t called for me, not a single one of your Soulless, no, the entire troop of yours would have died!”

“…Uh?”

What did this mean? When she looked at the situation, it felt like they had the upper hand.

“Are the Ghastly Troops strong without Soulless? No! Then how could a man who destroyed the Soulless in such a unit be weaker than your own measly forces? And what! You constantly speak as if you were justified in all of this! I will tear apart that mouth of yours with my own hands!”

Yeorin frowned at this.

She looked at Wolsa, who stood to the side and shook his head.

Do not say anything more.
It will only bring trouble.

Yupae was a person as such.
If one spoke of being unfair in such situations, he would really rip their mouths apart.
