Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 366

## Chapter 366: The Lazy Bum Clashes (1)

“How do you imagine being a Bishop of the Demon Cult?”

You might not be able to imagine it.

Huh?

Even someone like me feels fear of a Bishop?

What an interesting story.

I don’t know what you mean by “someone like me,” but when I saw the Bishop, I felt like a mouse in front of a cat.

Think about it.

I am now the supreme leader of the Beggar Sect, but back then, I was just a beggar.

Heroic act?

That was later.

Back then, I was just an inexperienced beggar. A Bishop of the Demon Cult appeared in front of me… how did I feel?

Yes.

Like the sword of a deity was at my neck.

I felt bound.

Now?

I don’t know. I definitely wouldn’t feel the same. I’ve gotten older, but I have experience, and I don’t cling to life like I used to.

But there’s something I can assure you.

Even now, if I encounter a demon of the level of a Bishop, I would get tense.

Yes, it’s hard to understand.

I am now the leader of the beggars.

But that means that a Bishop of the Demon Cult is a terrifying being.

My heart really beat hard.

Huh?

Wei Yanho?

Hmm…

It’s a problem that still worries me.

Is that guy afraid?

I don’t think so.

***

“Insane Demon?”

Wei Yanho opened his eyes. The old man, who had introduced himself as Gwangma, the Insane Demon, nodded:

“It’s not an elegant name, but that’s what they call me.”

“Insane Demon?”

“Yes.”

“Wow.”

Wei Yanho examined the old man.

Then he leaned on his chin and began to think:

“Why?”

“I’m thinking.”

“About what?”

“He doesn’t seem worthy of the name ‘Insane Demon’… either he has a terrible character, or his martial arts are very violent.”

“Probably.”

“So I’m thinking. His martial arts or his character?”

“What do you think it is?”

Wei Yanho replied calmly:

“At first, I thought a bad character was better than being a martial arts maniac, but now I don’t think so.”

“Why?”

“Because the Bishop of the Demon Cult can’t be weak. It doesn’t matter if his martial arts are violent or delicate, he must be strong.”

“Hahahaha.”

Insane Demon laughed gleefully.

But the others felt colder. This kind man was the one who had shown that incredible energy.

‘It’s obvious.’

Jangil clenched and unclenched his fists.

The Bishop of the Demon Cult. And Insane Demon.

That was enough.

He was definitely the Gwanghyeolmaje (光血魔帝, Insane Blood Demon Emperor).

The Gwanghyeolmaje who had killed a hundred warriors of the Southern Edge Sect in the terrible war.

‘Damn it.’

Jangil felt uneasy.

For him, that name was something out of legends. It had happened twenty years ago, but for Jangil, it was a distant past.

That ghost from the past had appeared before them.

‘Can we face him?’

The calculation was easy.

Impossible.

Wei Yanho was strong. Wei Sanho was too. No one here was weak for their age.

But it was impossible.

The Bishop of the Demon Cult had easily defeated the leaders of the great clans and sects and their best warriors. He was an expert superior to Geomseon (Sword Saint) or Geomjon (Sword Sage). Facing him with just these people?

‘That’s a dream!’

Perhaps “run away if the situation is ambiguous” referred to this moment. Everything became uncertain upon hearing the name Insane Demon. The confidence that Wei Yanho could face him disappeared.

‘But why?’

Jangil was not running away.

If it were the Jangil from before, he would have run without looking back. Taking Jin Yeran was all he could do. It was a reasonable and logical idea. He was just a burden here.

But now, Jangil’s feet were stuck to the ground.

“I don’t know much, but the Bishop of the Demon Cult is an important position.”

“It’s not that important. It’s a position you get with age in the New Doctrine, also known as the New Cult.”

“If you survive?”

“Yes. If you survive.”

Thinking about how incredible it was to survive in the Demon Cult, the indifference of the Insane Demon was ridiculous.

“Why have you come all the way here? There are people here who get nervous just hearing the name of the Demon Cult.”

“I told you, I must verify something. I don’t trust others until I see it with my own eyes. Even if it’s another Bishop.”

“Have you verified it already?”

“Yes.”

“Then you can leave now.”

Insane Demon laughed.

It was not disbelief, it was joy. It seemed like it had been a long time since he had spoken to someone like this.

“Yes, you’re right. I can leave now. But I can’t leave like this. I can’t just leave, I must follow orders after having verified with my own eyes.”

“Is there someone who can give you orders?”

“Yes.”

“The Demon Cult is scary.”

“It’s very scary.”

It seemed like a conversation between an old man and a child. But everyone knew it wasn’t a normal conversation.

Each word was a sword.

“What do you need?”

“Hmm, I don’t know if I should say it.”

“Why?”

“It will be difficult to accept. So it’s better to use force.”

Wei Yanho pouted:

“How rude for an old man. Are all the Bishops of the Demon Cult like that?”

“What can I do? It’s my job.”

“You should protest! It’s too much for an old man!”

This time, Insane Demon didn’t play along with Wei Yanho. He just looked at him with a meaningful expression.

“It’s strange.”

“…What?”

“You are very different from your father. Your father was a terrifying person. But you don’t look like him.”

“I hear that a lot.”

“But the meaning is different. Your father to you and your father to me are different.”

“Huh?”

Insane Demon laughed:

“We’re done. I talked to you because I felt too excited to talk to someone after ten years.”

“We can talk a little more.”

“Hahahaha.”

Insane Demon smiled:

“You are as cunning as your father. But that’s it. I know what you want, but the support won’t arrive so quickly. Even if it arrives, those I brought are powerful, so the weaklings from Henan won’t be able to help them.”

“Oh.”

Wei Yanho licked his lips:

“You are very observant.”

“When you get old, you only improve your observation.”

“Not only that. It seems you’ve also become much stronger.”

“How do you know?”

“Well, I heard that you used to fight against the strong, but that’s not the case now. Unless they are lying, you must have become much stronger.”

Insane Demon easily admitted:

“It’s true. I don’t know who they are, but even in the era of war, I never felt that the warriors of the Central Plains were strong. They weren’t opponents then, and now the difference is greater.”

“Hmm, it seems so.”

“So, what do you say? Will you obey?”

Wei Yanho scratched the back of his head:

“Well… honestly…”

Wei Yanho looked at everyone, sighed:

“Honestly, I don’t want to fight someone as strong as you. But the problem is that my father is very different from me.”

“Hmm?”

Wei Yanho smiled:

“Even if the situation is uncomfortable, if I obey the Bishop of the Demon Cult, my father will come with a sword to recover the honor of our family. It’s better to fight with you than to see my father angry.”

“Huh?”

He had gone around in circles, but that meant he wanted to fight him. It was something that even most of the clan and sect leaders wouldn’t dare to say. That insolent kid.

“Certainly.”

Wei Sanho supported Wei Yanho:

“It’s better to surrender to a stray dog than to the Demon Cult.”

“It’s extreme, but…”

“But following that extreme teaching is the duty of a son.”

Swoosh.

Wei Sanho’s sword came out of its sheath.

Swoosh.

Peng Dogeuk also drew his weapon.

“He should have trained us less. I’m tired.”

“Amida Buddha, I agree.”

Musan also stood next to Peng Dogeuk. The four were in front, and Jangil stood behind Jin Yeran.

Jin Yeran looked with a strange expression, and Jangil protested:

“No, he forced me. I don’t want to fight.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“And honestly, I’m a civilian compared to you four. I’ll only be a burden.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Jangil beat his chest.

Insane Demon watched the scene with impassive eyes:

“Times have changed a lot.”

Insane Demon laughed:

“I don’t know if it’s because they didn’t experience it or because it wasn’t transmitted correctly. Well, then I must tell you. The weight of the name of the New Doctrine. Yes, the weight… the audacity!”

In that instant, a terrifying energy emanated from the body of Insane Demon. With red eyes, Insane Demon shouted:

“They dare to ignore me! I will kill you all!”

Wei Yanho sighed upon seeing that:

“Another madman.”

And now he had to fight that madman.

To the death.
