Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 131

Episode 131 There is no time for learning (1)

Flash!

With one strike of the sword, the rock was split in two.

Joo Seo-yoon’s expression as she looked down at the cut cross section of the rock was as indifferent as always.

After looking at the cross section for a while, she swung her sword again from her spot.

Let’s go!

It’s fast and light, but doesn’t feel particularly powerful.

Dozens of lines were drawn on the broken rock.

Perseuseok!

The huge rock that had stood there for countless years ended its life by turning into hundreds of boulders.

Teong.

The leaden woman turned around.

At that time, applause rang out from one side.

“You’re amazing!”

Joo Seo-yoon did not look back at that place. This is because he came a long time ago and knew that everyone was watching his martial arts skills.

“I don’t know much about martial arts, but it seems like you have built a good family. “You’re amazing for your age.”

Watching others practice is a great example. However, Joo Seo-yoon did not blame the opponent.

Of course, even if the other person wasn’t Ho Yo-seong, she wouldn’t have noticed due to her personality.

“Hasn’t it been a while since you trained as a Master Demon Master? But at first glance, it looks like it’s completely attached to the body.”

Joo Seo-yoon slightly lowered her head in response to Ho Yo-seong’s words filled with admiration.

End your answer and greeting with a quiet nod. It was a behavior typical of a quiet woman.

Hu Yaosheng smiled.

In recent years, outstanding figures known as the Three Dukes have emerged, but until then, the one who stood out the most among the disciples was Oh Gong-nyeo Joo Seo-yoon.

It’s about talent, not ability. Of course, her skills are great, but Joo Seo-yoon’s growth was so fast that it aroused viewers’ admiration and even distrust.

Chae Yeo-min, a seven-year-old princess, is also evaluated as being no less talented than Joo Seo-yoon. But she didn’t have a clear goal yet and was definitely too young.

Among the seven disciples, he is the most specialized in martial arts. That was Joo Seo-yoon.

“What’s going on?”

Indifferent and heavy.

Ho Yo-seong thought that it was not easy for a young voice in his early twenties to carry such weight.

“haha! “I would try to crack a few jokes if I could, but it’s not easy to do that in front of Lady Goku.”

“….”

“Uh… good! Lady Oh-gong will be busy too, so let’s keep the business brief.”

Ho Yaoseong smiled and handed over the letter.

In the eyes of Joo Seo-yoon, who received the letter, Lee Chae was young.

“Iron horse room?”

“That’s right.”

“…Why are you here?”

“Recently, we heard that they have been interfering with our business quite a bit. “I tried to leave it to the local branch, but they say they have expanded their influence considerably.”

Joo Seo-yoon raised her head and looked at Hao Yo-seong. A suspicion arose in his transparent eyes.

The Iron Horse Room was a breakwater of the same magic island, but it was only a common small and medium-sized breakwater. Regardless of whether the branch could handle it in the first place, the fact that they even dared to mess with Protestantism was a complete outrage.

“Actually, that may be the case. There are quite a few businesses that are conducted secretly at our school. Although they were a very small number, it did not mean that there were no forces that ran rampant like this without knowing the circumstances. In most cases, it can be done by just sneakily leaking that it is a secret Protestant business site.”

“….”

“But this time it’s different. “Intelligence has come in that there is some kind of force that is looking after Iron Horse’s room.”

“Some kind of force?”

“yes.”

“Where is it?”

“I’m guessing it’s the sword palace.”

Lee Chae flashed in Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes once again.

Sae-o (塞外) usually refers to the northern border of the central plains. However, now it is also used to refer to regions other than Jungwon.

Besides Sae, there were four representative sects in the martial arts world. They were the so-called Saoeosa Palace (塞外四宮).

And among them, the Geomgung was a sect of sword demons in charge of the East among Saeoeosagung.

“It’s still just a situation, but if it’s true, we’ll be cutting our noses with our eyes open. However, it is difficult to question them without certainty.”

“So are you sending me?”

“That’s right. “You can use harsh words to send elders or a hundred and eight commanders, but in this case, name value will work better than force, right?”

Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes deepened.

I came here because I needed a reputation rather than force. Although she was a great expert, this means that she was not yet strong enough to challenge the strongholds of elders and magicians.

Of course, she also knew that her level was not at that level.

However, I couldn’t help but feel bad when I heard about it from someone.

“Why me?”

“The Archduke is still closing. Gongja Lee said that the teacher had something special to do. The three gongjas are currently on their way down as special inspectors, and the four gongjas…” “

….”

“The six gongjas are too young and lacking in power to be involved in this kind of work. Moreover, it has been a while since I returned to school, so I am having a lot of trouble learning Geogyeongga’s Buddhist teachings.”

It goes without saying that Chae Yeo-min is the daughter of the Seven Princesses. She was a young girl, only twelve years old.

“In other words, Lady Goku has no choice but to be the right person for this job.”

Joo Seo-yoon shook his head.

“Can’t you send someone else?”

“Do you feel inadequate in your training?”

“….”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t do that. “I have already received approval from the religious leader.”

Joo Seo-yoon nodded. As the conversation progressed to this point, there was nothing I could do.

It was just disappointing. It was a waste of one hour now that we had found a bridgehead toward another realm.

Said Hu Yaosheng, who was looking at her with a smile.

“Well, my business ends here.”

“Let’s start…”

“However, although I am unfamiliar with martial arts, I am confident that I have a good understanding of the principles of the world. So, I would like to tell you something.”

“….”

“If you are not trying to gain something from the closing, please do not get too caught up in the word training.”

Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes sparkled.

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t there a saying like that? “They say that if you become obsessed, you will move away.”

Joo Seo-yoon nodded.

It was not because I sympathized with Ho Yaoseong’s words. In the first place, anyone can say something like that. It seemed like he was worried about me, so I just reacted out of courtesy.

However, even she, who was indifferent to Hu Yao-seong’s next words, had no choice but to stop.

“In that respect, Samgongzi is truly an amazing person.”

“…?”

“The Three Dukes did not neglect training every day. But I did my best even on the mission I was sent to. “I didn’t really regret the training I wasn’t able to complete.”

“…!”

“I thought hard and actively clashed with people to solve the problem. “When I had to use my martial arts, I charged boldly, and when I had to use my head, I didn’t even raise my fist, let alone my sword.”

“….”

“I think that such process experiences come together one by one to complete ‘learning.’ “It’s the same as locking yourself in a closet and reading tens of thousands of books, but you only increase your knowledge, but it’s hard to gain wisdom.”

Hu Yaosheng smiled.

“That’s probably why the Three Dukes have become so strong now.”

Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes wavered.

Somewhere in my heart, I had the urge to say that you were saying that because you didn’t know much about martial arts. As you said, I wanted to say that you are saying that you do not know the experience of martial arts.

But she didn’t say that.

It was because I finally understood what Hu Yaosheng said. It was up to her whether to accept it or throw it away.

“Oh my! You took up a busy person’s time. “It was just a meddling that wasn’t even advice, so don’t take it too seriously.”

“….”

“Okay then.”

Hu Yao-seong nodded and walked away.

Joo Seo-yoon kept an eye on Ho Yo-seong’s back. Her eyes were watching his back, but no one knew what she was thinking.

After a while she closed her eyes.

“…Iron Horse Room?”

* * *

The summit of a mountain not far from Tuwangmaga.

It is truly perfect for viewing the diffused moonlight. When I sit on a flat rock that looks as if someone placed it there and look up at the sky, my eyes are filled with moonlight and my heart starts pounding.

A golden beast lying down next to a rock. And the sight of Seoryang sitting on a rock and looking up at the moonlight was strangely elegant.

Jong-Li-san, who was looking at each person and one person, walked briskly.

“Are you here?”

Zhong Lishan did not answer.

Seo-ryang pointed to the seat next to him.

“It’s a good day to see the moon. If you want to watch, please sit here.”

Zhong Lishan had the audacity to sit right next to Xu Liang. The man who told Wei Hongryeon not to invade the martial arts territory was actually trespassing on Seoliang’s territory.

It’s not because I’m being bold, but because I know it. That Xi Liang would not attack him.

Zhong Lishan glanced at Jinho.

“I’ve been meaning to ask you for a while…”

“Please tell me.”

“What is that fox?”

Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders.

“He is my friend.”

“friend?”

“He is also a reliable ally.”

I thought it was worth it. I was so shocked that I erased it from my mind, but when we faced each other three days ago, the energy that that fox gave off was not surpassed by the energy of the transcendental master.

So it was surprising. Because the topic of a mere beast exudes such force. Moreover, despite being a fox, didn’t he bite and kill a tiger?

It is an unusual beast in many ways.

“Are they the so-called spirit objects?”

“Actually, I don’t know. “There is no word to replace it, so for now we must consider it a spiritual object.”

Zhong Lishan nodded. There was no need to cling to insatiable curiosity.

In fact, what I was really curious about was Seoryang rather than Geumho.

‘You really don’t know.’

Zhong Lishan’s expression became strange.

‘How could he be at this age…’

Needless to say, his skills are outstanding. At that time, the energy that Seo-ryang was emitting was not inferior to his own.

That alone was surprising, but the insight he showed on his way here was truly worthy of being called a professional level. Looking at Tuwang Maga’s influence and power distribution, didn’t he get an amazing idea of how Geogyeongga’s troops should move?

Thanks to this, 30% of Geogyeongga’s actual troops were stationed in the vicinity of Tuwangmaga.

‘But I was extremely ignorant when it came to business.’

There was a brief discussion about how Tuwangmaga was running the business.

At that time, Seoliang became completely mute. He even admitted that he knew nothing about that.

‘He possesses outstanding abilities in martial arts and tactics. It is no exaggeration to say that he has an insight that can be used to discuss the world, especially in areas related to surprise attacks.’

The snow on Zhonglisan Mountain has deepened.

‘But in other aspects, he was surprisingly illiterate.’

He is a person who has the ability to become the representative expert of an organization, but it is difficult to become the head of an organization. In other words, he was a human being with definite strengths and weaknesses.

I thought that sending someone like this to the inspection office was definitely not an ordinary person. I think I was able to see through it that it wasn’t a false ledger.

“…It’s fascinating.”

“What do you mean?”

“This is how my son evaluated the Three Dukes. “He has an excessive desire for power and a desire to show off, but he is so talented that he is actually a dangerous person.”

Xu Liang smiled.

If he is the son of Zhong Lishan, he would be referring to the Six Dukes. It was a guy I had never seen before.

‘Good job.’

At least that was how Seo-ryang felt before he took over this body.

“But it looks like his insight is still far off. “It’s so different from what I heard from him.”

“In the first place, people change.”

Zhong Lishan nodded. Like Geumho, Seoryang was not someone who could be understood right away.

Zhong Lishan took a deep breath and asked.

“We have reached the realm of Tuwangmaga. “What do you plan to do now?”

“I have to go in.”

“When are you coming in?”

“Festivals are more exciting when they are held at night. I don’t think there is a need to take a long time.”

Xu Liang woke up with a smile.

“Let’s go straight away and clean up.”
