Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 232
Episode 232 One step towards a new world (4)
Dawn when everyone is asleep.
Seoliang came out to the training hall alone and looked around.
‘It’s comfortable.’
I felt similar feelings in the past, but now that I have become the head of a small school, it really feels like my home.
There are traces of cherry blossoms all over the place. His mark remained and everyone’s laughter melted into it.
I felt like I wouldn’t be able to sleep well anywhere other than here anymore.
Cry.
At that time, Geumho, who was crouching next to him, approached Seoryang. The King of Tigers, lying face down next to the gate, did not move. All I could do was prick my ears.
Seoliang stroked Geumho.
“Have you become very close with King Tiger?”
Crumble.
“Okay, man.”
Still, you look much better than before. The two of us equally shared the 120 geun of beef we brought from Hwanheewon earlier.
It seemed like they respected each other in their own way, even in the mountains.
“The cherry blossoms were very surprised because of you.”
It was the same in the central square, but Aenghwa shed tears when she saw Geumho come in while drinking.
I sobbed as I held the golden tiger that was bigger than me, asking where that cute image from the past had gone.
Of course, Geumho did not accept Aenghwa’s sadness. In the first place, Geumho was not very interested in cherry blossoms.
“Play with me once in a while. Remember when you were like this. “Aenghwa put so much effort into making the food for you.”
Geumho yawned loudly. Xu Liang muttered shakily.
“This guy is really heartless.”
Seo-ryang sat at the edge of the training hall and looked up at the sky.
Countless stars twinkled in the cloudless night sky. It seemed like it was going to pour at any moment.
“Now what should I do now?”
Seo-ryang’s eyes calmed down.
“You can’t leave right away, right? No, even if I want to leave in a hurry, the religious leader will give me permission. “The problem is how you move after you get out.”
When he was the Three Dukes, he could not officially hold power. There was no position to begin with.
But Sogyoju is different. The position of head of a small school itself is a position and responsibility.
Now he has risen to a position where he can control the forces of Shingyo.
Although he cannot do as he pleases than the religious leader, if he orders, he can gather the forces of the new religion spread throughout the central plains.
‘I want to hit him right away.’
Xu Liang smiled bitterly.
“That gentleman, although he may be unlucky at times, is a very grateful person.”
He recalled his conversation with Gogu.
– Attacking the Uicheon Alliance is the same as saying that we will drag our school’s demons into war.
– Do you plan to handle things this way again then? I will use your noble death as a stepping stone to destroy the archenemy, the Uicheon Alliance. I am the religious leader, so follow my words.
– I think that if the Three Confucius think at all about the glory of our school, they need their own in-depth consideration.
That is correct.
He thought that the Heavenly Demon Church was a den of evil spirits. Of course, he only thought about his own life and didn’t care at all whether these guys died here or died there.
But not now.
The Church of the Heavenly Demon is also a world where people live. I don’t know what it was like before, but now I feel closer to him than I did to Uicheonmaeng.
And Seoliang stood in a position to become the master of those decent people. I don’t want to carelessly take their lives and risk them.
“I thought I would be able to move properly if I became a small priest.”
A look of bitterness appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.
“I thought too lightly.”
Actually, the answer was simple.
All you have to do is move towards your goal without worrying about what to do. The most important person in the world is ultimately myself.
Seoliang realized what his lifelong goal was and ran towards it without hesitation. If he has set his own goals that way, no one can argue with him.
The problem is that Seo-ryang experienced an incident that weighed heavily on his heart.
The impact of that incident was not small. I made it clear to Seoryang, who was running forward only looking ahead, that there were people like this on your left and right.
If he didn’t know, he wouldn’t have known. Once he found out, it became a snare that he couldn’t shake off, snatching away his ankles.
“Damn, it’s complicated.”
Seo-ryang suddenly stood up and relaxed his limbs.
“In times like this, the best thing to do is to just run.”
There is no cardinal formula. Seo Liang, standing in the center of the training hall, immediately deployed his martial arts skills.
The start was Demon Emperor’s Reign, but the martial arts that were thrown out in succession were Jung-gu Nan-bang.
He wielded the power of the Heavenly Demon, used the Poksangyeong, tried to use the nameless technique, and even used the Inhwadobeop with his sword.
Although it is a practice that does not contain any history, it is no exaggeration to say that the enlightenment contained in the training has reached its ultimate level. His body, which had undergone another transformation, was already no different from a weapon.
Seo-ryang, who had been practicing for a while, suddenly relaxed his posture.
“Whoa.”
It has definitely changed.
It was different from the past, when you had to work hard to reduce the gap between your body and your martial arts level as soon as you reached the extreme level.
His body was already close to the realm of perfection and had reached a state where he could unfold his thoughts, no matter how complex they were.
There is still room for training, but any martial art can be used without much difficulty. It is fundamentally different from the previous body, which was infinitely strong and resilient.
Seoyang stretched out his hand towards the room.
Wooooow.
The four swords that flew through the window revealed themselves for the first time in a long time.
“Well… each one has a different purpose.”
Xiliang scratched his head.
“I don’t need four sacks anymore.”
To begin with, there were not many battles where all four weapons were used. Now, he was even able to use the martial arts sword with a sword made from a type of magical energy.
The problem is that these swords have already pierced the extreme demon before even being used properly.
‘Well, it’s difficult for Yuhon Bicheon to show its full power without reaching the ultimate level in the first place.’
Still, they are good knives. How many times have these knives saved my life?
“Shall we try to relax first?”
It was then.
Xiliang turned his head to the front door.
“hmm.”
Seo-ryang, armed with four swords, opened the gate.
Then I saw a carriage approaching from afar. Because of how the wheels were made, the noise was very low.
Xu Liang frowned.
“Total military?”
Eventually, the carriage stopped in front of him.
When the door opened, Hu Yaosheng greeted him with a smiling face.
“As expected, you knew.”
“yes. “What’s going on?”
“well. “What could happen?”
“….”
“I understand, I understand. The joke doesn’t really work. school. main. sir.”
Xu Liang chuckled.
“What were you doing with four swords each? Are you going to assassinate even the world’s top ten masters?”
I said it as a joke, but in today’s Seoryang, it may actually be possible.
It was safe to say that the current Seoryang, who had opened the third hell gate and the Thirteen Demon King’s Terror Ceremony, was equipped with a force that was one step higher than that of the past King of Death.
“Okay, tell me why you came here. Why did you come in person when you could have just sent a letter?”
“Huh? He says something big will happen. Now that you have become the head of this school, how dare you tell him to come and go by letter, even if you are a general? “If you get caught, you will be taken to the penal court.”
“….”
“Oh, you haven’t told me why yet, have you?”
“yes.”
Hu Yao-seong grinned.
“Would you like to go to my workplace with me?”
* * *
Xi Liang looked around.
“Has there been a place like this?”
“You only came to my office, but you never entered the military department’s operation room, right?”
“It has to be that way. “There are a lot of demons guarding you in places you can’t see.”
“As expected, you see right through it. “Would you like to guess how many there are?”
“Seventy-two.”
“You are correct.”
Hu Yaosheng looked through the documents.
“It is not an exaggeration to say that the military department is the most important organization in Protestantism, not because it is the organization that I am the head of. Oh, of course, except for the Demon God Palace.”
It was worth it. Because the military department is the only organization in charge of both internal and external governance of Protestantism.
“The seventy-two bodyguards were all chosen by the religious leader. “He said it is no exaggeration to say that his escort skills are the best in our school.”
“It seems so.”
“Hehe.”
Xi Liang looked toward the center of the operation room.
There was a huge map with colorful words on it. It seemed that Shingyo’s troops were represented by red dragons, Sanghyeongseong was represented by black tigers, and Uicheonmaeng was represented by blue hawks.
“The map is very detailed.”
“Of course. “Of the three worlds, our guidance is probably the most detailed and accurate.”
“hmm.”
It’s worth being confident. I have looked at tens of thousands of maps during my career, but I have never seen a map like this.
“Would you like some tea?”
“yes.”
“Oil truck?”
“Byukrakhun.”
Ho Yo-seong came in a warm car.
Seo-ryang said as he accepted the teacup.
“But can you show me the war room?”
“of course. You have officially become the head of our school. Some people do. “As the general of the military, I am the person with power above all else.”
Ho Yaoseong narrowed his eyes.
“Now that position belongs to Master Xiao. “I’ve become a third person who can’t be left out or left behind.”
“Thank goodness.”
“yes?”
“Your status has become higher than that of the general military.”
“Hey, you were feeling uncomfortable with me?”
“You didn’t think so?”
“…It hurts me when you say that.”
“Either it or not.”
After taking a sip of tea, Seoyang rested his butt on the table.
“So what do you want to show me by bringing me here?”
“You look very cold today, don’t you?”
“It may be cold, but it’s not to the point where I’m dying of joy. So, I hope you can answer my question right away. “If you tell me one more time and play around, I’ll just leave.”
“…Oh yes.”
The playfulness disappeared from Hu Yaosheng’s face.
“Actually, unless it was something serious, I wouldn’t have gone to see Lord Xiao this early in the morning. But the problem is that quite a few things have happened.”
“What’s the problem?”
“Before I say that, there is one thing I would like to confirm.”
“Are you being cruel to the leader of the Little Church?”
“Are you kidding?”
“Please continue.”
“great.”
Hu Yaosheng’s eyes deepened.
“Do you mean to destroy the two forces by eradicating Mengcheng from the face of the earth? Or do you mean to destroy only the leaders and subordinate leaders of the two forces?”
Seo-ryang’s answer was without hesitation. Because I have thought about this issue countless times.
“Firstly, the leader and leadership, and secondarily, the collapse.”
“hmm.”
“Even if I can’t completely destroy it, I plan to at least destroy all of its owners. Did you get the answer?”
“Enough is enough.”
Hu Yaocheng brought a small piece of paper that was lying near Shaanxi on the map.
“Look.”
“What is it?”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
Xi Liang opened the letter.
Soon his eyes wavered.
“…volcano?”
“That’s right. Thanks to this, Uicheonmaeng has become quite noisy.”
Hu Yaosheng smiled.
“Given the source of information, the probability that it is true is greater than 100%.”
“….”
“Here, a goal card was thrown away. What do you plan to do, Master Xiao?”
Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.
“You won’t scold me for coming here early in the morning, right?”
Hu Yao-seong grinned.
“Sure.”
“I’ll call you separately, so don’t fall asleep until then.”
“I can’t sleep when I have fun playing games.”
Xu Liang chuckled.
“See you later.”
As Seo-ryang turned around, a faint blood glow appeared in his eyes.
‘You make up your own reasons.’
