Hoyoseong's words came to mind.
"Even if I don't say anything, the Cult Leader probably knows everything, right? There's no way the Cult Leader wouldn't know what I know."
Indeed, the reason Hoyoseong is remarkable—or perhaps dangerous—is because of his immense personal ability and power. He is a genius with exceptional insight and holds the supreme authority as the Chief Military Advisor. And the person who walks on a level higher than such a Hoyoseong is none other than Lee Cheonsang.
The position of the Cult Leader, the highest authority in the Divine Cult, is naturally higher, and his personal abilities are incomparable. If Hoyoseong is the eyes of the Divine Cult, then Lee Cheonsang is the Divine Cult itself.
Two years ago, Lee Cheonsang, who clearly knew who the real culprit behind the murder of the seven cult members was, couldn't have been unaware of Seoryang's expulsion. Then why didn't he reprimand Seoryang?
