Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 228

Episode 228 A past that cannot be thrown away, a future that cannot be grasped (8)

“I came out of the military department.”

A look of puzzlement appeared on Ma Dong-pil’s face.

“what brings you here…?”

Mine said bluntly.

“I’m here to check on Howie Ma’s current physical condition.”

Why did the military department come to check on my physical condition?

Although there were doubts, Ma Dong-pil answered obediently.

“It’s not bad. “My recovery is getting faster as time goes by.”

“Do you have any discomfort in moving around?”

“Of course.”

“Then that’s it.”

Mine took out a gorgeously wrapped letter from her arms.

“What is that?”

“Ma Dong-pil, the guard commander of the three princes, Seoliang, receive the sacred book of our sect.”

Ma Dong-pil’s face hardened.

The sight of him quickly getting off the bed and kneeling down looked very pious.

“I accept the new letter from the leader of the Ma Dong-pil family.”

He received the letter with trembling hands and once again bowed his head politely.

Ma Dong-pil opened the letter.

Soon his eyes widened as if they were torn.

“Two days later, in the central square of Naeseong. Please prepare by then.”

“….”

“Howie Ma?”

“…I understand.”

“then.”

Mine left the room.

A turbulence that could not be hidden appeared on Ma Dong-pil’s face.

“Confucius….”

* * *

“Puhu!”

Wei Hongryun’s hand trembled slightly as she wiped away the dripping sweat. It didn’t seem like it was just because the training was difficult.

“Wow, it ended up like this.”

“What’s going on?”

A puzzlement appeared on Wichan’s face as he entered the training hall.

“A demon dressed in military uniform has arrived. “Did you have something to see?”

“yes.”

Wei Hongryun waved the letter.

“I came to deliver this.”

“Did you have an accident again?”

“…No.”

“if?”

Wei Hongryun handed a letter to Wei Chan.

Wi Chan’s eyes wavered as he opened the letter.

“I guessed it. “But I didn’t know it would be this fast.”

“I see.”

“I think I will contact Amazon people separately.”

“I guess so.”

Wei Chan closed his eyes.

“I see the teacher has made up his mind. The shock wave that spread from the Demon God’s Palace at that time was, of course…”

“The Demon God’s Palace?”

Wei Chan handed the neatly folded letter back to Wei Hongryun and said.

“It will be busy starting tomorrow. “Be prepared to kill me today.”

“Tsk, I get it.”

Wei Hongryeon, who put the letter in her arms, smiled.

“Anyway, I got a good hold of the rope.”

* * *

The letter sent from the Demon God Palace was delivered throughout the inner city.

Letters were delivered to the General Military Department, Hwanhuiwon Province, Xinjiang Province, and Senator Wonju, as well as the heads of each combat unit.

Although there were only a small number of people, the contents of the letter quickly spread throughout the Protestant Church.

“Isn’t this too sudden? “You said you would wait until Pasunje, but why…?”

“This person? “Do you have any doubts about the order that the leader himself gave you right now?”

“omg! Who said that! “It’s just because I’m curious!”

“Be careful what you say. “The atmosphere on campus has been a bit chaotic lately, so if you use your mouth the wrong way, you’ll be in big trouble.”

“Well, that’s true.”

“Anything else aside, I think I can understand. In fact, there is no one more suitable as a successor than the Three Dukes.”

“I agree. However, too many incidents have occurred recently centered around the Three Princes. “Public opinion won’t be good.”

“I don’t understand people who talk about qualities based on that part.”

“huh? why? “Isn’t that a sufficient reaction?”

“It’s a reaction that can happen. “If they are people who don’t know anything about the world.”

“…risk.”

“That is correct. How fierce could the succession battle have been in a place we didn’t know about? This is not a fight to determine the winner through voting. Isn’t it a fight to prove to the teacher that you are better than your opponent? “There must have been countless operations behind the scenes.”

“I guess so.”

“If it’s true, I’m sorry, but honestly, I don’t know if the incident involving the Moks is true. “I think it may be the work of other successors.”

“Are you really doubting that much?”

“Are you confident? “That’s the truth?”

“…If you ask me what I’m sure about.”

“That’s it. The capabilities of the candidates are far beyond what we could imagine. “If you make up your mind and come up with a plan, demons like us will have no choice but to be deceived.”

“but.”

“Of course it could be real. Yo (要) means that the closer he gets to being the successor, the less surprising it will be if there are any scandals. “Those who have lined up somewhere else won’t just sit back and watch.”

“You are right. “Hearing this, I was clearly thinking too simply.”

“In the end, it’s ability. The kind of loyalty that members of the political faction cry for cannot last a lifetime. “I don’t think the Three Dukes’ abilities are the best in the history of our school.”

“That is correct. “Didn’t you realize the extreme in a short period of time and put all your extracurricular affairs in order?”

“cancer! Rather, I think it was wise for the leader to make a decision quickly.”

The public response was surprisingly favorable. Public opinion, which had worsened due to the terrible mistakes made by Xi Liang in the past, has subsided at a remarkable rate.

Because the religious leader decided.

The religious leader, who had said he would wait until the Emperor’s death, changed his mind and announced that he would nominate Samgongja as his successor right away. The religious leader’s active movement had such a ripple effect that it instantly changed the Ma people’s perception of Seoryang.

Because he is a god.

Because the religious leader is a human being, it was directly proclaimed by the most perfect representative of God on earth.

With that one thing, public opinion changed drastically. There were still some who were dissatisfied with the past of the Three Dukes, but they did not dare to raise their voices. This is because cursing the Three Confucius can be taken to mean that one does not trust the religious leader’s insight.

It could be said to be a gift from Lee Cheon-sang to Seo-ryang.

He was clearly aware of the ripple effect of his words and actions, and his move soon eliminated the slightest problem that might have been a threat when Seoliang succeeded to the position of religious leader.

If Seo-ryang is not Seo-ryang, then Icheon-sang is no other than Icheon-sang. The courage of a giant who could overthrow the game with a single judgment, a single word or action, was so great.

One day passed like that, then two days passed.

The four walls of Shingyo were locked, and numerous people flocked to the central square of the inner city.

The event was set up to announce the successor hand-picked by the old Daecheonma Lee Cheon-sang, who would become the new god.

* * *

I have never believed in a being called God.

I have never believed in Buddha or immortals. The past years were too harsh and terrible for me to become addicted to stimulating interests such as a transcendent being observing the world from outside this world.

But not now.

I still don’t believe in the existence of God, but I want to believe.

“Um… Is this how you do it?”

Standing in front of dozens of graves, Seo-ryang slowly knelt down.

I have never mourned the dead. So my posture was very awkward.

Although he didn’t know if it was right to do this, Seoryang put his hands together and bowed his head. Although his posture was clumsy, his sincerity was clearly conveyed.

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

“I’ll be honest. The me in the past wasn’t me. I am a completely different person from the evil people who tormented you back then. “Oh, that doesn’t mean I’m not evil.”

I sighed.

It is a level that has risen to the point where the skeleton of the body changes. Seoryang, who was already tall, grew by three inches and was now only four or five inches taller than Lee Cheon-sang.

The shoulders became wider and the limbs became longer. The quality of the muscles goes without saying. There is room for training, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that this was a complete transformation.

Even after going through such changes, this agony was not completely washed away.

To be more precise, I would say it’s a feeling of guilt.

“What you said is correct. Because I didn’t commit it, I don’t feel that much guilt towards you. Honestly… it was only for a moment, but it’s true that I felt uncomfortable about why I had to take responsibility.”

These are emotions and thoughts that anyone can feel. Although Xiliang’s martial arts skills were obviously great, he was also an ordinary person. This means that he is neither a saint nor a great man.

“And even if I were to take responsibility, I don’t know how to take it. I don’t want to die, and I don’t want to struggle in pain every time. “I have my own life.”

This is a cold statement. There is no shortage of being called cold-blooded.

If Xi Liang truly harmed them.

However, the current Seoryang, who contained Cheon Ha-jin’s soul, did not even have a face-to-face relationship with them. Because it comes from such a person, it does not sound cold or disgusting.

It just sounds sad.

“I’ll remember. You guys. I will remember everything, one by one. “It’s not something a bastard with this body should say, but… I will at least do my best to ensure that no one as unfair as you appears within the Protestant Church again.”

Xiliang sighed.

“That’s all I can do right now. “I’m sorry there’s nothing more I can do.”

If there was a bereaved family member, they would have gone to see him and knelt down. I would have told him to hit and stab me until his anger went away.

But in the past, Seoliang left no children behind. He was truly a terrible guy.

So I had no choice but to apologize to the dead. It was so sad and sad.

“I will not abandon the past. I will never forget that your past belongs to me. And for you…”

Xu Liang bit his lip.

Seoryang is silent for a moment.

Soon he spoke as if sighing.

“Hey? I have a goal. I have a dream that I want to destroy the Uicheon Alliance and the Iron Blood Fortress and just leave. That’s why I wanted to be the successor. That I am easy to move. “I can move the Protestant army at will.”

Still, he did not want to become a religious leader. I knew that the leader of Shingyo was different from the heads of other Bangpas, but I still did not want to sit in that position.

But I changed my mind.

“I will become the leader of the cult.”

A light of determination flashed in Seo-ryang’s eyes.

“I will become a religious leader and overthrow the Protestant religion so that people like you will never appear again. “I don’t know if it’s possible, but I’ll try to change it somehow.”

I don’t know what they want. If there is truly such a thing as a ghost, you may think of yourself as a shameless bastard. Some may argue that he just wants to hold on to power.

“Once I achieve all of that, I will leave Protestantism right then. “I will take on the responsibility that I have not been able to bear to you through future changes.”

The past can never be thrown away, and the future cannot be hastily seized.

Because Xiliang entered this body, he tried to take responsibility for the past, and because he entered this body, he extended his dream of the future.

Because I thought it was the right thing to do.

Seo-ryang stood up and took out a bottle of alcohol from his arms.

“Six Heavenly Profound Pillars. “It’s a drink that the religious leader worked hard to create.”

Pong!

Seoriang opened the cap and sprinkled six thousand heart pearls all over the tomb.

“I don’t know if this will comfort you, but hopefully it will put your mind at ease a little bit.”

Xu Liang, who sprinkled all the six thousand heart pearls, turned around.

“I will never come here again. “When I leave the Protestant Church, I will come to you right after I have changed my Church enough to be proud of myself in front of you.”

Pusssss.

The liquor bottle turned into powder and flew around. It was a skill that had become more delicate than before.

“Goes.”

I couldn’t throw away the past, but I shook off my worries.

Although I couldn’t control the future, I set another goal.

That’s enough. He did the best he could from where he sat.

So, Seoliang headed to the central square of the inner city.

The steps of Demon Lord, who was designated as the god of the next generation in a new era, were full of power.
