Chapter 254: Coronation (4)

Lee Hameng frowned as he watched them from Yeowun’s side . They lost in their votes so they were now insisting that they should wait for the Lord to wake up .

‘If this is the case, we have to drag as much as time we can so we can regain our forces . ’

They had to rebuild their forces before Chun Yeowun could build his forces and build the entire Demonic Cult under his leadership . Or else, the six clans that had reigned over the cult for 500 years were going to crumble .

‘They are not going down easily . ’

Mun Yun became grim . There was no good in fighting internally . Mun Yun turned to Yeowun .

‘He’s not happy about this . ’

Chun Yeowun was looking coldly at the three elders . Everyone in his forces knew that Chun Yeowun hated the six clans . The three clans were safe only because Yeowun’s elders suggested that Yeowun should keep them under his arms so that the Demonic Cult would not suddenly become weakened .

‘I hoped he can become the Lord fast and start controlling those clans . ’

Sama Yi also had the same thought . If this was the case, there was a need to fight them strongly . Sama Yi spoke out .

“The Demon Doctor reported that he couldn’t find any progress in the Lord’s state . I understand you three Elder’s thoughts, but while we have imminent threat of an enemy outside our territory, we cannot afford to have our leadership go empty . ”

“If that is the case, my suggestion stands even more . If the Demon Doctor can’t heal him, then we have to invite the Godly Doctor here to heal the Lord and do this according to our laws . ”

“Hmm…”

Sama Yi moaned . The three Elders weren’t going to back down .

‘Lord Chun Ma was right . ’

Their actions proved that they did not want to lose their control . They were trying to keep the three clans as the most powerful clans in control of the cult . The thee Elders then got up from their kneeling and Bu Churyong spoke .

“Our current leader is still our Lord . Aside from other issues, if we are to proceed with the coronation without following our laws, I see no point in staying at the Great Meeting . I will see myself out . And for the future meetings, I will not attend until the Lord wakes up from his bed . ”

Bu Churyong then turned his back and the two other Elders followed them . With them leaving, the clan leaders under their clan became hesitant, but they soon followed .

The atmosphere turned weird . As they were walking out of the gate, Bu Churyong grinned . This was a gamble . If he and others were stopped, then he was going to say that Chun Yeowun was going to be a tyrant ruling over them .

‘There wouldn’t be any issues if we weren’t facing enemies, but he wouldn’t dare to lose 20% of the cult’s power at this time . ’

Bu Churyong was certain that his plan was going to work . Even if Chun Yeowun hated them, it was likely that Yeowun would not try to risk weakening the cult .

‘This has gone too far . ’

Great Guardian Marakim raised his hand to signal warriors from the Guardian forces to stop them from moving out of the hall .

[Let them go . ]

[…Yes, my lord . ]

He wasn’t sure what Chun Yeowun was thinking, but it was an order . Soon, three elders and thirty five clan leaders left the room . Chun Yeowun actually had authority to stop them, as he was the temporary leader and also the mighty Chun Ma, but he did not do this . While everyone became curious, Yeowun mumbled to Marakim .

“It’s better this way . We can clearly see who is our enemy . ”

Marakim couldn’t answer Yeowun after he described them as the enemy . If this internal war was to go on, the cult was going to be weakened . Chun Yujong and Chun Inji had to take the clans’ intentions as they couldn’t bear to let that happen .

‘What is Lord Chun Ma thinking?’

Marakim became worried .

After the Great Meeting, same day after dinner . The gazebo behind the palace’s Hall of Feast was lit, with tables full of various cuisines and liquor . There were three people . It was Bu Churyong, Ja Kinkeng and Hang Soyu . They were here because an invitation came to them an hour ago . A messenger from the Guardian forces arrived at the Blade clan’s mansion, to the three elders who were discussing what to do now, and sent a message from Chun Yeowun . It was a short message, but it was what they were waiting for .

[I will talk . ]

Chun Yeowun wanted to invite them over to the dinner at the gazebo behind the Hall of Feast .

“Your plan worked!”

Hang Soyu became excited and cheered . She first became suspicious that maybe Chun Yeowun was setting up traps, but Bu Churyong was certain that there weren’t going to be any .

‘If he does that, our cult will lose huge power . Even if our Chun Ma was our enemy, he will not go so far . But we do have to make sure . ’

They then talked to the messenger about their conditions . Most of their conditions were agreed upon . They were required to have dinner in the open, not in the closed room, and also asked to have every guard warrior to stay away at the dinner .

“Don’t worry . We just have one more thing though . ”

That was about the liquor and cuisine . It was a talk to have them join Yeowun’s forces, so Bu Churyong believed Yeowun would have not played with the food, but they needed to be careful .

‘The servants have not learned martial arts, so I can’t test it . ’

There was a way to send out most poisons coming into the body, but there were all kinds of poison out in the world so they had to be careful . The three elders then arrived first at the appointment place to check if there were any traps or warriors in hiding, and Chun Yeowun arrived later . The only person he brought here was Great Guardian Marakim . There were no other warriors here, so they couldn’t ask Yeowun to even send Marakim away .

“Lord Chun Ma . ”

They got up and bowed to Chun Yeowun . They seemed much more bright then they were at the Great Meeting, thinking that they would get what they wanted here . After a brief greeting, Chun Yeowun sat down at the table and Bu Churyong spoke first .

“It is great honor that our Lord Chun Ma invited us into such a wonderful dinner . ”

Those words were hollow . It felt like he was scoffing at Chun Yeowun . Marakim became dumbfounded and looked at them coldly .

“Hmm . Well, we cannot allow our delicious food go cold . Why don’t we eat first and talk?”

Ja Kinkeng spoke and Chun Yeowun nodded . Bu Churyong then grabbed the liquor bottle at the table and poured it into Yeowun’s glass .

“This is to our Lord Chun Ma . ”

Bu Churyong’s eyes narrowed as he spoke . The reason why he poured it into Yeowun’s glass first was to see if Yeowun had played any tricks on it .

Yeowun then grabbed the glass and drank it .
