Chapter 153: Scorched Earth
The one who came seeking Baek Moo-jin is one of the two Demon Lords belonging to the Demon Clan.
Demon Sovereign!
It is the honorific title for a demonic arts master who, aside from the name Heavenly Demon, cannot be addressed with any greater reverence.
This man was known as the Thunder Sound Demon Lord.
He was the successor of the long-vanished Raeumsa Temple.
In other words, he was of esoteric Buddhist lineage from India.
Why then was such a man the head of the Ma family, belonging to the Demon-Subduing Sect?
It was because the Thunder Sound Temple, seeking to expand its influence into the Central Plains, clashed repeatedly with Taoist-based sects. It was Bicheon who resolved this conflict by siding with the Taoists.
In a way, after meeting Bicheon, they became recluses hiding under the banner of the Demon Path. The final successor settled in the Central Plains, abandoned the name Rae-eumsa, and adopted the name Raejeongmaga. In other words, the one wielding the martial arts of Rae-eumsa, long believed lost, was none other than Raejeongmazon.
Naturally, alongside the Demon Lord, the common enemy was now targeted as Bicheon.
On top of that, Naejeong Majon had come seeking Baek Moo-jin due to his personal ambition to establish a Demon Path realm.
No, Baek Moo-jin himself had been continuously tempting the path of demonic cultivation.
Young and powerful, they say… Now, those who underestimated him to this point are appearing. Should this be called a simple misjudgment? Or a catastrophe brought on by excessive confidence?
