Chapter 386: The Lazy Man Decides (5)

Clang!

Jangil sighed as he saw Wei Yanho abruptly enter.

‘Why is he angry again?’

Wei Yanho had many reasons to be angry. His brother had been kidnapped, and his trip home had turned into a trip to the Righteous Martial Alliance. It would be strange if he wasn’t angry.

The problem was that when Wei Yanho was angry, others suffered.

Thanks to Wei Yanho, Jangil had realized the importance of balance between strength and personality. He had experienced firsthand how difficult it was for others when someone powerful acted without thinking.

Wei Yanho’s gaze swept across the room.

Those who were looked at shuddered.

Even Musa was avoiding Wei Yanho’s gaze.

Jangil felt like crying when he saw that.

‘What fault is it of ours?’

He wanted to go find the leader of the Beggar Sect and demand an explanation for doing this to Wei Yanho. If he had known what kind of person Wei Yanho was, he never would have asked him to follow.

«Tsk.»

As if he knew what Jangil was feeling, Wei Yanho began to speak.

«These hypocrites of the righteous faction.»

You’re from the righteous faction too!

«They always talk about justice and loyalty, but now that their lives are in danger, they wash their hands of it.»

«…Where did you get that from? Why are you blaming us?»

Wei Yanho glared at Jangil in fury at his protest.

«Aren’t you guys?»

«Of course not!»

Words must be thought out. Jangil lacked that, and now it was time to pay the price.

«I see.»

Wei Yanho smiled:

«Then, you’ll come with me to the Demon Cult for justice and loyalty.»

«…What?»

Jangil’s eyes trembled.

What?

What did he say? Where were they going?

To the Demon Cult?

«What…what are you saying, you crazy bastard?»

«Why? You said you guys weren’t.»

«This isn’t about justice and loyalty! It’s about survival!»

«You said you would sacrifice your life for justice!»

«I never said that!»

«Tsk tsk. Look.»

Wei Yanho clicked his tongue:

«You only talk. When you’re in danger, you forget justice.»

«You brat, this is not about justice!»

«Then?»

Wei Yanho glared in fury:

«Is it fair that your brother is in the Demon Cult, and you just watch? According to you, shouldn’t you go rescue him?»

«……»

Jangil fell silent.

Although it was true, where is there someone who always follows justice? If they had to fight against the Demon Cult for just one person, everyone would refuse.

«I understand your feelings, but it’s not that simple.»

«Really?»

«…What is really?»

«Do you really believe that? Or are you just afraid of dying?»

Jangil didn’t respond.

Because he knew Wei Yanho was right.

But one must not say what they think. That’s life.

«If there was a chance, I would risk my life. But it would be a useless death.»

«Useless death?»

Wei Yanho tilted his head in disbelief:

«If those who talk about justice and loyalty helped, it would be possible.»

«That won’t happen.»

Jangil sighed:

«I understand your feelings, but you can’t act like this.»

«Oh, yeah?»

Wei Yanho smiled.

And that smile was an offense to Jangil.

«Damn it! Do you think you’re the only one who’s angry? You have strength, so you can be angry. We suffer in silence because we don’t have strength.»

«Strength?»

Wei Yanho showed disdain:

«Are you saying that I can say that because I’m strong, and you can’t because you’re weak?»

«…»

Jangil didn’t respond.

Because he knew that wasn’t the case.

The Demon Cult wasn’t a place anyone could challenge. Not even the Supreme Sovereign or the Sword Saint.

«Everyone fears death. But you shouldn’t have said that.»

Jangil lowered his head.

Wei Yanho, seeing that Jangil didn’t respond, turned around:

«I didn’t have any hope anyway.»

«W…where are you going?»

«What do you care?»

«Crazy bastard! Are you going to attack the Demon Cult alone?»

«Do I look that foolish?»

«T…then…»

«I won’t attack, I’ll infiltrate. I’ll rescue my brother, and it’ll be resolved.»

«It’s the same thing!»

«It’s completely different!»

«This guy is really crazy.»

Jangil was furious.

How could he infiltrate the Demon Cult alone? And how would he rescue someone from there?

«Calm down.»

«I don’t need to calm down. I am calm.»

«Is that what someone who’s calm does?»

Wei Yanho looked at Jangil and said with a straight face:

«What should I do according to you, who is calm?»

«……»

«Should I sit and pray for my brother to escape? Or should I just leave it as it is?»

Jangil said with difficulty:

«T…the Righteous Martial Alliance won’t stand still.»

«Do you really believe that?»

No.

What could the Righteous Martial Alliance do? Should they send a message asking the Demon Cult to return him?

The Righteous Martial Alliance and the Demon Cult do not recognize each other. They could only communicate through violence.

Would the Righteous Martial Alliance move for Wei Sanho?

‘Impossible.’

That wouldn’t happen.

Not even if Wei Sanho was just a simple Wei Sanho. But the Master of Divine Abilities already knew Wei Sanho’s secret.

Would the Righteous Martial Alliance fight against the Demon Cult to save the son of the Supreme Leader of the Demon Cult?

‘What nonsense.’

Besides, the Demon Cult wouldn’t let Wei Sanho go. The status of the Supreme Leader in the Demon Cult was higher than the martial artists thought.

The Supreme Leader was a symbol of evil to them. Would they return someone of their blood? That was impossible.

There would be bloodshed either way.

But a war against the Demon Cult to rescue Wei Sanho would shake the foundations of the Righteous Martial Alliance, which was created to maintain the peace of Central Plains.

«You know that?»

Jangil couldn’t answer Wei Yanho.

«I don’t want to complain. It’s inevitable. I just want to be different.»

Wei Yanho started walking. Even Jangil couldn’t stop him. How could he stop him when he knew what he was doing?

But he didn’t need to stop him.

There was someone else who would stop him.

Wei Yanho stopped in front of the door. He looked at the door and opened it.

He looked at the door calmly.

Three people were there.

The Supreme Sovereign, the Master of Divine Abilities, and Wei Jeonghan.

«Where are you going?»

Wei Yanho calmly replied to the Master of Divine Abilities:

«To the Demon Cult.»

«What will you do in the Demon Cult?»

«I’ll rescue him.»

Anger seized the face of the Master of Divine Abilities:

«Do you think you can rescue your brother? Do you think you can rescue your brother in the Demon Cult, where there are many leaders, when you couldn’t even defeat the Insane Demon?»

«It’ll be difficult. I know. But…»

Wei Yanho shrugged:

«I don’t give up just because it’s difficult.»

«The lazy man talks a lot.»

«Yes, I’m a lazy man. I’ve been moving around a lot lately, but I’m a lazy man by nature. But…»

Wei Yanho’s eyes darkened:

«Even a lazy man like me knows what he must do. When to be lazy and when not to be.»

The Master of Divine Abilities groaned:

«Even so, you can’t be lazy when your brother has been kidnapped by the Demon Cult. If you’re human, you can’t.»

«You must not go.»

«Ugh.»

Wei Yanho complained:

«Have I received a salary from the Righteous Martial Alliance? Am I a member of the Righteous Martial Alliance? If I go of my own will, with what authority will you stop me?»

«I understand your feelings, but it’s not the time.»

«When will it be the time?»

«…Not now.»

«Should I answer? There will never be a good time to rescue my brother. There will always be risks. So I’ll go now.»

«You brat! Why is your brother…»

«Enough.»

Wei Yanho’s cold voice reached the ears of the Master of Divine Abilities:

«It’s best to be careful with your words. I don’t want to get angry.»

«…»

«Whatever anyone says, we are brothers.»

Wei Jeonghan nodded silently. Although they didn’t share blood, they were brothers.

The Supreme Sovereign, who had been watching, spoke:

«Can you rescue him?»

«I don’t know. But if I don’t try because it’s difficult, nothing will change.»

«That’s true.»

«Lord!»

The Supreme Sovereign raised his hand when the Master of Divine Abilities shouted:

«But, Yanho, you need strength. No matter how much you shout or get angry, the weak can’t change the world. You know that?»

«Of course.»

«Then, prove it.»

«Huh?»

The Supreme Sovereign pointed backward:

«Prove that you have the ability and the strength to go to the Demon Cult and rescue your brother. Then I’ll let you go.»

«…S…so…you want to fight?»

«It won’t be like last time.»

Wei Yanho smiled:

It won’t be like last time? Was he referring to the previous battle?

«That should be what I say.»

Wei Yanho tapped his sword.

«If I must prove it, I will. I’ve decided not to dishonor the Teacher’s sword again.»

The gazes of Wei Yanho and the Supreme Sovereign met.
