**Cheon Inji** is the former 22nd Lord of the Great Demonic Cult and grandfather to Cheon Yeo Woon. He was also the last person to have passed the sixth test of the Demonic Academy over 70 years ago.

## Appearance

The face of an old man with gray hair, white eyebrows, and a long white beard

After the Dragon Turtle subjugation, he was cleaned and revealed his face full of wrinkles. The lightning seemed to have burned away everything from his hair, eyebrows, and beard, but the majestic appearance of the Former Lord of the Demonic Cult didn’t disappear.

## Personality

Cheon Inji took pride in being a member of the Demonic Cult, so much so that he was willing to risk his life to protect it from the Blade God Six Martial Clan. He also respected the strong, as he formed a friendly rivalry with Saint Gu-Jung of the righteous Shaolin Temple, because he was the only man to defeat him in combat. He had disdained the politics of the Six Clans and wanted to get rid of it. Cheon Inji was strict towards his own children, but he is proud of his grandchild, Cheon Yeo Woon.

## History

The son of 21st Lord, Cheon Ma-Jong, Cheon Inji was considered the most powerful warrior of the cult in the past 500 years and had enlarged the territory of the Demonic Cult larger than anyone else before, claiming victory against the Forces of Evil and Justice. He was the previous holder of the title, *Southern Demon Lord* but disappeared for over 20 years prior to the beginning of the story. Cheon Inji was able to learn the incomplete Sword Force of the Heavenly Demon and taught it to Marakyum. He ordered Marakyum that if he did not return within 10 years, Marakyum should teach Twent Four Demon Sword Art to the true descendants of the Sword Demon's former pupils in the sect leaders of Sword Clan, Dark Clan, and Hazy Demon Sword Clan

It is revealed that Cheon Inji was friends with Saint Gu-Jung of the Shaolin Temple. They became members of the Eun Jarim, a secret organization dedicated to tracking the Blade God Six Martial Clan. Gradually, Cheon Inji decided to leave the Demonic Cult to his son Cheon Yu-Jong, before disappearing. Eventually, the former lord and Gu-jung decided to let themselves captured by the Blade God Six Martial Clan and learn their secrets. Unfortunately, they had to endure torture for ten years. Cheon Inji was so fatigued that he couldn't resist the mind controlling worm of the Clan and became a slave. However, there were moments when he had lucidity.

Twenty-five years after Cheon Inji's disappearance, he is discovered at the North Sea Ice Palace by the Demonic Cult which rescues him and extracts the worm from him. Few days later, Cheon Inji wakes up and meets his grandson, Cheon Yeo Woon and his old subordinate Marakyum who learn of the old man's ordeals. The former Lord is awed to learn of Cheon Yeo Woon's unprecedented achievements as the new Lord of the Demonic Cult even bows before his grandson, recognizing him as the 2nd generation Cheon Ma. Later, Cheon Inji learns the breathing skill and other formations of the Sword Force of the Heavenly Demon from his grandson.
