Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 174
Episode 174 There is no problem without an answer (4)
Surprisingly, the skin with a soft golden sheen was that of a bear.
The bear skin, which had not been scorched at all, was truly dazzling. It was covered densely with short, shiny fur, and it looked softer and fluffier than the emperor’s bed.
The old man lying on the leather in a room-sized posture had a truly majestic appearance.
The shirt he had just taken off was full of thick muscles. Her forearms were as thick as a woman’s thighs, and her swollen breasts seemed harder than a rock. He was an old man whose enormous stature and stature overwhelmed those who saw him.
His wild white beard and roughly tied up hair were full of wild beauty.
“The little owner of the ice palace disappeared?”
The old man’s voice had a somewhat high-pitched tone that did not match his huge size and wild nature. The incongruously loud voice made the old man look even more dangerous.
A middle-aged man with a sharp look standing in front of the old man bowed his head.
“That’s right.”
“Hmm.”
Interest arose in the old man’s eyes.
“Where could this guy who had traveled as fast as lightning to Honam suddenly hide?”
“The strange thing is that he left the ice palace guards there and disappeared alone.”
“Are you sure?”
“It must be certain since it was entrusted to Hao Wen’s branch.”
“Hao Wen is trustworthy.”
The intelligence group created by the powerless low-level people gathered together is the current Haomun. They believed that information was a greater power than force and believed that it was useful for survival.
And that belief had been proven to some extent by his skills. At least Hao Wen doesn’t add any spice to the request.
“Hmm, where did he disappear to?”
“They say they don’t know that far.”
The old man frowned.
Crumble.
At the same time, a long, thick tail emerged from the dark shadow behind his bed.
It was clearly the tail of an animal, but it was not the thickness that is common sense. The tail, which was colored with yellow and black patterns, was so thick that even if you held it with both hands, half of it remained.
Flash!
Two eye lights emitting a red glow beyond the black darkness.
The middle-aged man swallowed his saliva without realizing it. My heart was pounding like crazy from the sudden attack of aggression.
“The fact that he threw away his guard and disappeared doesn’t mean he has something up his sleeve.”
“That’s right.”
“Then shouldn’t you have known that far?”
“We’ll look into it again.”
There was a disapproving look on the old man’s face.
“I heard that there have been frequent clashes with the tribe of Paeung (覇熊) recently.”
“…!”
“Even if a hawk’s claws are sharp, can they scratch a bear’s skin?”
The middle-aged man bit his lip.
As the head of the Noeung tribe that ruled the sky, it was a blow to his pride to be compared to Paeung.
However, the story is different if the person saying those words is none other than the king of the beasts and the owner of the beast palace.
Even if you have the means to harm the bear, if the King of Ya (野王) intervenes, the game will be over. And of course that wasn’t what the man wanted.
“Give me one more chance. “I won’t disappoint you.”
The old man looked at the man with narrowed eyes and spoke in a stern voice.
“Don’t think that I will give you power just because you are the father of my favorite student.”
“….”
“I sent the disciples to Mount Aeneos. “Let them find out before they finish their work.”
“thank you.”
“Let’s just go out and see.”
As the middle-aged man left, the old man, Cheon-ho, yawned lazily. The sharp fangs in the wide open mouth looked particularly long.
He muttered while choking.
“The tension is relieved. So it will be difficult for Hyeolrang, let alone Paeung.”
It was always fun to watch the competition for loyalty. But it was also my job to prevent any of them from being eliminated.
If you press it gently once, you will come to your senses again.
“Anyway, he disappeared alone… He must have come to save my younger brother, but did he come to find a guide?”
In any case, he will have no choice but to come to the Beast Palace.
Cheonho’s eyes became increasingly red.
“Welcome, son of the North King.”
* * *
“stop!”
Following the ghost’s cry, the five men and women stopped practicing the divine law.
“Let’s rest here today.”
As soon as those words were out, five men and women were leaning against a tree and tapping their legs.
“Phew, it’s hard.”
“Have you already covered five hundred li?”
“Already? “We have to go another thousand miles.”
“Damn, that’s too far.”
Grumbling voice.
Gwieung sat down on a rock a little distance away from them and closed his eyes. Like martial arts in the central plains, he did not sit cross-legged and his waist was somewhat bent.
It was the Daeyeon Yangsaengbeop (大然養生法), which was said to be the most static among the Beast Palace’s fortune techniques (運氣法). Although it is not possible to build up internal energy through empty energy, it is a breathing method specialized for relieving fatigue and activating the body’s senses.
In other words, the Nanman style luck technique. Because it is mixed with the martial arts of the Beast Sign, once you reach a certain level, you can focus on breathing while maintaining your energy level.
That feeling clearly let me hear the conversations around me.
“Look at that. Isn’t that guy even tired? “Is it training again?”
“I guess I’m trying to recover my stamina because I’m exhausted.”
“Aren’t you going to spend the day anyway? Anyway, Yunan.”
Jealousy drips from his voice.
It’s probably a voice telling you to listen. Since you can’t attack her outright, the only way to get rid of your petty jealousy is to swear at her behind her back.
‘Say whatever you want.’
Swearing behind your back won’t improve your skills. Gwi-eung actually laughed at the behavior of his competitors.
If I had put that passion into my training, at least it would have been better than what it is now.
At that time, a heavy voice was heard.
“Everyone be quiet.”
With that one word, the jealous conversation disappeared.
“You guys also recover your stamina while you’re talking.”
It was quite harsh language. But none of them could resist.
After a while, a person came to Gwi-eung’s side.
“Are you done?”
Gwi-eung opened his eyes.
A young man of enormous stature appeared in his eyes.
Young Ungsan (熊山) said.
“Where do you plan to take the road?”
“East entrance of Aeneosan Mountain.”
“I thought so.”
Ungsan narrowed his eyes.
“Why do you even want to turn around?”
“Should I tell you that?”
“Of course, since you are the leader, there is no need to explain everything. But if you tell me the reason, those idiots will agree.”
Guineung smiled coldly.
“It doesn’t matter to me whether you agree or not.”
“It might have something to do with it. “If you want to properly carry out the orders given by Master.”
“Interfering with the mission is also their choice.”
“If you have any thoughts, I won’t interfere. However, if you want smooth exchange, it would be a good idea to at least discuss it.”
Ungsan’s eyes deepened.
“In that respect, you need to learn Yulang.”
At that moment, Gwi-eung felt something stirring in his chest.
Before he became the leader of this group, there was a person who had incredible control over his successors. He was Yulang, a genius from the tribe of Hyeolrang.
However, Yulang, who received the mission and advanced to the midfield, did not return. Although his fate has not yet been clearly confirmed, everyone has now accepted his death.
The person who succeeded Yulang and became the head of the successors was Gwieung. He was a talented student from the tribe of Thunder of the Beast Palace and was favored by the palace lord.
“Yullang was rough and arrogant. But I knew how to communicate. “I’m not saying you should follow his example, but for a smooth mission, you need to know how to comfort people.”
Gui-eung’s eyes were bloodshot.
“If you knew that well, why didn’t you increase your strength and take this position?”
“….”
“Enter through the eastern entrance of Aeneosan Mountain. “That’s all I know.”
Ungsan, who was looking down at Guiung, turned around.
Gui-eung snorted inwardly. He did not know that Ungsan was a person who seemed to have a lot of weight on the outside, but was secretly encouraging other heirs to criticize him.
I thought it was worth it. All of the palace lord’s disciples were of the same rank, but Ungsan was the oldest among them. With Yulang gone, he probably thought he could lead them.
‘You idiot with no skills.’
If you really wanted to do that, you should have gritted your teeth and trained.
‘The fact that I came this far despite my lack of talent is quite remarkable.’
Gwi-eung’s eyes that laughed at Ung-san were not much different from the other disciples who were jealous of him.
After a while, Gwi-eung stood in front of everyone.
“Ungsan.”
“Say it.”
“Secure food with the secret priest.”
Ungsan’s eyes sparkled.
The non-instructor sitting next to him spoke in an irritated voice.
“There is enough food. Why are you doing this again?…”
Whoops!
There wasn’t even a single moan. The nasal instructor, hit by the tension of the response, rolled over and soon became limp.
Everyone looked at Guiung, startled by the sudden incident.
He said calmly.
“Do you think you don’t know that I’ve been eating metallurgy in the middle just because it was hard?”
“…!”
“I was told to conserve food and water as much as possible because I don’t know what might happen during the move. Did you hear what I said? Or have you already forgotten Master’s instructions?”
Everyone’s eyes were bloodshot.
Gwi-eung said to Ung-san.
“Go back with Yeongpyo.”
“…i get it.”
Ungsan woke up and suddenly looked up at the sky.
Beep!
Several hawks were circling high in the sky. At first glance, it seemed to be three or four times the size of an ordinary falcon.
The tribe of Noeung knows everything that happens in its territory. There was no beast that could avoid the eyes of the hawk, the ruler of the sky.
“Let’s go Yeongpyo.”
“…okay.”
That’s how Woongsan and Yeongpyo moved.
Gui-eung walked back to the rock. He could feel the eyes of his successors glaring at him from behind, but he completely ignored them.
He sat on the rock and was lost in thought.
‘I still can’t trust the Tang family. ‘He’s probably moving outside of the Demonic Cult’s control area, so he can’t say anything nonsense.’
The core of Aeneosan Mountain is occupied by demonic cultists and they are managing Yeongcho. It was said that the spirit was sent to the Demonic Cult on a quarterly basis.
Gui-eung’s eyes became cold.
‘I hope I can get it back this time.’
Originally, Aeneosan Mountain was an area occupied by the Beast Palace.
Of course, that was hundreds of years ago. They had nothing to say since they were driven out of power, but there were constant attempts to regain their hometown.
‘I will cut off the first start of this recapture operation.’
This is a mission I have undertaken with great ambition. Gui-eung decided to no longer care about the actions of his foolish successors.
But his promise did not last even half an hour.
“Why don’t you come like this?”
The nasal instructor came to his senses and started laughing.
“We don’t know either.”
“Useless things.”
Gui-eung’s face was distorted with irritation.
He curled his thumb and index finger and brought them to his mouth.
Beep!
His whistling sound was similar to that of a hawk.
Soon, a similar sound was heard from far away in the sky. It was the cry of Cheontae Shin-eung (天態神鷹), who followed Ungsan and Yeongpyo.
“There it is. What are you idiots doing…”
Beep!
For a moment, Gui-eung’s eyes wavered.
‘Shin-eung?’
He whistled again.
Beep!
There was no answer back.
He continued to whistle. But as expected, Shin Eung’s answer did not come back.
It was then.
Coo!
The entire mountain shook with a loud impact sound.
“What?!”
Startled, they instinctively unfolded the divine law. He realized something had happened to Woongsan and Yeongpyo.
How long did it run like that?
As they made their way through the bushes, a large clearing appeared in front of them.
“Howdy.”
In the center of the clearing, there was a handsome young man carrying a sword similar to a yam sword on his shoulder.
“One, two, three, four… six, including the two in front. That’s right.”
“…What are you?”
“me?”
The young man, Xu Liang, smiled coldly.
“He is a potential felon ready to commit kidnapping, assault, and murder.”
Whoa!
A red-hot wind rushed towards the huge blade.
