Chapter 187: Face off (2)
Hu Bong then pointed toward the back of the parade. Yeowun and his members became surprised at the ones following from behind. They wore different clothes, and the letter the g showed was clearly who they were.
[Yulin n]
These people were from the Yulin n, thergest group from the Forces of Justice. It was the first time in the Cults history where members from Justice walked into the castle. Crowds began to grow noisy.
What is this?
Yulin n?
Didnt the ambassadorsest time?
And unlike thest time, there was arge number of them entering the gate. Crowds then began to boo and taunt at members of Yulin n.
Booo!
And warriors from Yulin n too looked very nervous and tense. Within them, there were multiple other n gs from the forces of justice. At the center, there were two carriages covered with golden clothes, that showed that important members were in it.
Oh, its very interesting, I see.
UGH!
Hu Bong was surprised by the sudden voiceing from his side. It was Huan Yi, the 11th Elder who appeared. Huan Yi had many spies over all ces of the world, so it seemed he had a guess of who and what these were.
Do you know whats going on?
Yeowun asked and Huan Yi shook his head.
Its not clear but maybe we might side with the Yulin n this time.
Side with the Yulin n?
Lee Hameng asked back surprisingly. For the past fifty years, the Cult had waged fierce war against the Yulin n. There was no severe fight in recent five years, but they were still very hostile against each other.
Well, well hear whats really going on at the pce.
Members of the Yulin n were allowed to enter the castle in front of every cultist. It was sure that the Lords pce was going to announce something to the cultists. When everyone got into the castle, the castle gate closed and the crowd followed the parade into the Lords pce.
But things turned out differently from expectation. Members of Yulin n were escorted inside to the guesthouse at the inner pce, and First Elder, Mu Jinwon got up on the stage and shouted.
Greetings! Fellow cultists of the Demonic Cult! Its me, First Elder Mu Jinwon.
Cultists became confused when Mu Jinwon, instead of the Lord, got up on the stage. When the crowd became silent, Mu Jinwon shouted in arge voice.
I first want to thank all of you who cheered for our, and our Lords return. The Lord is very exhausted from the long trip, so please gather back here tomorrow afternoon for his announcement. For the ambassadors from the Yulin n who entered the castle, please consider them as our guests they were formally invited. It is the Lords order.
Mu Jinwon then bowed and walked down the stage. So, the announcement of what was going on was postponed to tomorrow.
What is going on? Why did they invite the Yulin n here?
Dammit, he didnt say anything!
Cultists noisily talked about their spections and soon scattered. There were multiple questions but there was no way to find out until tomorrow. And when people began to return to their homes, short horns sounded three times, signaling the summoning of all elders, leaders of ns, and guardians into the pce.
I guess we have the Grand meeting first.
Huan Yi spoke and Yeowun nodded. He was now allowed to enter the Grand Meeting formally, and sit together as equals with the other elders.
Well wait at the restaurant near the pce.
Only elders, guardians, and n leaders were allowed so Yeowuns members werent allowed in.
Okay. Please take care of this.
Yes, master.
The inner pce required weapons to be left behind, so Yeowun asked Hu Bong to carry his White Dragon de and the sword created from cold steel. He then walked into the inner pce with Lee Hameng and Huan Yi.
Inside the inner pce, there were manyrge buildings, and across from the Lords residence, there was arge building made just for the Grand Meeting. The building was avishly decorated hall, with chairs ced so that people could sit down in ranks. The throne at the farthest inside was the Lords throne that sat toward the crowd, and there were twelve elder seats that ced down to look at each other. Other n leaders were located towards the outside. 7 elders who just returned were already in their seats and n leaders began entering to sit down in the empty seats. All leaders from high ranking ns sat down in front row seat, and the other n leaders sat behind.
9th Elder, entering the hall!
When the elders entered, guards at the entrance shouted to alert everyone.
Wee.
Its been a long time, Elder Sama.
All n leaders got up and greeted 9th Elder Sama Yi. The Grand Meeting didnt happen that often so it was a good chance for n leaders to get a chance to talk with the elders. After a few minutes, most n leaders got in and sat down on the chairs. And with the Lord who was going to enter with the three guardians, everyone else was now here. The only one that hadnt arrived yet besides the Lord and three guardians, were the 10th, 11th, and 12th elders.
Three elders arete.
Well, he wont be happy, so well have to understand.
Hang Soyu, the 5th elder and leader of the Lust n spoke with frown, and the fourth elder, and leader of Loyal n, Ja Kinkengughed and responded. Ja Kinkeng was talking about Baek Oh. Baek Oh was a member of the six ns, but was pushed down to the 12th elder, and couldnt join the trip. Thats when the guard at the gate shouted.
10th Elder, 11th Elder, 12 Elder, entering the hall!
Three elders entered at once and Hang Soyu shook her head.
Hmph. Does he made friends with low ranking elders while hes there?
And with the gate being opened, three men walked in. Everyone then turned to the three eldersing in.
huH?
What?
All elders who sat on the high ranking chairs frowned. They expected Baek Oh to be walking in with his staff, and the one who entered instead, while having two other elders on both sides, was Chun Yeowun.
H-how can he?!
Hang Soyu knew Chun Yeowuns face clearly. She had seen him in the first test in the Demonic Academy years ago. Yeowun had turned into an adult, but he still had the same face from when he was a teenage boy. Yeowun then walked up to the elders who were lost for words and bowed.
Greetings, elders. I am new 12th elder, Chun Yeowun.
