How the Demon Cult Leader’s Son Survives in the Righteous Sect

Seong Muyeon, the seventh son of the Demon Cult Leader and a sufferer of severed meridians syndrome,
realizes that he has been reincarnated as a character in the martial arts novel “Supreme Sword Chronicle.”

According to the original plot, the Demon Cult is utterly destroyed by the protagonist Baek Ryeoil.
Using recuperation as an excuse, he sneaks out of the Demon Cult’s headquarters, but……

“What business do you have in the Central Plains? What filthy scheme are you plotting?”

Of all people, he gets caught by Baek Ryeoil himself.
At this point, there’s no other choice.
If he can’t avoid being killed by the protagonist,
it’s better to cling to him instead!

“Please hide me. You wanted to catch me anyway, didn’t you?”
“No.”
“But you’re the most trustworthy in the whole sect!”

Through desperate flattery, he somehow manages to enter the righteous sect,
but there’s no way life will be easy for Seong Muyeon, a former demon cultist.

After a series of incidents, Seong Muyeon’s severed meridians syndrome flares up again,
and Baek Ryeoil makes a suggestion——

“Just do dual cultivation with me.”

▶ A Quick Taste

It felt like Seong Muyeon’s soul was leaving his body through his mouth. He held his forehead.

“……Please explain in more detail.”
“One of the treatments for severed meridians is to perform dual cultivation with someone who has at least one Jiazi¹ worth of internal energy.”

‘I already know that!’

Countless heroines in the martial arts world had their illnesses cured thanks to the protagonist’s grace. As expected of the main character, Baek Ryeoil had an immense amount of internal energy.

“If that’s one method, what are the others?”
“Become a Huajing master and completely transform your body.”

Baek Ryeoil looked Seong Muyeon up and down.

“Judging by your current state, you’d have a better chance coming back from the dead.”
“……”
“This is the easiest. Besides, all the ingredients are right here.”

Baek Ryeoil pointed at himself, his eyes gleaming.

“I refuse.”

Seong Muyeon rejected him on the spot and turned away without hesitation.

“Why not!”
“Just because.”

¹ Jiazi (甲子): A traditional Chinese time unit equal to a 60-year cycle. In martial arts fiction, it often symbolizes a high level of internal cultivation.
