Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 244

Episode 244 The birth of Yeomra (閻羅) (4)

“Whoo.”

Hu Yaosheng, buried in a chair, looked very tired.

The familiar motion of grabbing the bridge of my nose with my index finger and thumb and squeezing it seemed like my fatigue had already become chronic.

“Now, the oyster truck is almost completely exhausted. “I don’t know if I’m really going to collapse like this.”

The situation in the Central Plains has been shaking violently for a few days now.

The problem is that it’s just a feeling.

After compiling the information pouring in, the situation in the Central Plains has not changed much from before, but it feels strangely intense.

It is the sense of a soldier and the sense of a genius. At the same time, it also meant that he was getting closer to becoming the soldier Lee Cheon-sang wanted.

Hu Yaosheng grumbled softly.

“In times like this, it would be perfect if Master Xiao would do something.”

He was a man who caused a lot of trouble, but in the end, there were many things that benefited the Protestant church.

Of course, it is true that Seoyang had a hard time cleaning up the poop he had left behind. However, that much is more than offset by the vitality gained from a life full of blood.

Ho Yaoseong sighed.

“Well, it would be difficult to crash and hit in the midfield. “I’m not someone who doesn’t know that if I make a fuss for no reason, a war will break out.”

Still, something is disappointing.

“What is life? “I guess I’ll just rest like this today…”

That was then.

“Commander General!”

“What’s going on?”

“I received a call from the Honam branch. “It’s payment!”

Another sigh burst from Hu Yao-seong’s mouth.

“When I decide to take a break for the first time in a while, this fate twists me as if I’ve been waiting for it. It’s truly scary.”

He called out to the door in a rather nervous voice.

“come in!”

Mine opened the door and handed me a letter enclosed in red paper.

Even though I was momentarily irritated, seeing that intense red color made me nervous. Isn’t this a payment call that came at a time when I was already feeling that the situation in the Central Powers was not normal?

‘What’s going on again?’

Ho Yaoseong opened the letter.

Immediately his eyes widened.

“uh? uh?”

Ho Yo-seong, who had been opening his mouth like an idiot, soon burst into laughter.

“Puhahaha!!”

Mine’s face was colored with confusion. This was because it was the first time I had seen Ho Yo-seong burst into laughter like that.

Hu Yaosheng wiped his eyes with his index finger.

“Truly, I guess I was wrong about Master Xiao. “I thought you would take care of yourself when you went to Jungwon, but instead, you went on a rampage even more spectacularly, didn’t you?”

The blood, which had been circulating slowly, seemed to travel throughout my body at an alarming speed. My body, which had been filled with fatigue, gained strength, and a clear glow appeared in my once cloudy eyes.

“Commander General. What on earth happened….”

“Master So has had an accident again.”

Mine’s complexion suddenly turned pale. After returning from Gojuk Forest, the military department had to put an end to the Oman accident that Sogyoju suffered.

But you had an accident in midfield?

But unlike himself, Commander Chong seemed to be very happy.

“Still… it doesn’t seem like a big deal.”

“It’s not a big deal?”

“…?”

“You kidnapped the iron-blooded lord’s concubine and called Hwasan Jangmun-in as Uichang?”

Mine felt like she wanted to faint.

Hu Yao-seong couldn’t stop the laughter from coming out.

“It’s really nice to work with Master So because you won’t be bored.”

“I will give combat units a standby order right now. As soon as possible…!”

“Don’t do that.”

“Commander General?!”

“If a combat unit is suddenly dispatched, the entire midfield becomes tense. “You must not move hastily.”

Mine shouted without realizing it.

“Master Xiao’s safety is at stake! Isn’t that the top priority?!”

“You are right. But it is.”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes were curved like a crescent moon.

“Every incident I know of the Sogyoju master was beyond imagination, but he never once did something he couldn’t handle.”

“…!”

“Of course, since it happened within our school, it will be different from what it is now.”

“That’s right!”

“So what should we do now? We can’t hastily send a combat unit, but sending a mazon or a magic general is like sending a tiger to kill a pack of wild dogs….”

Eyes shining wickedly. Ho Yaoseong seemed to be genuinely happy about this situation.

“How can we ensure the safety of our small religious leader?”

* * *

Slap!

The Yangtze River is also called the Great River.

The length of the Yangtze River, which originates in the far western land, crosses the central plains, and soon reaches the eastern sea, is beyond imagination.

The width is also amazing, so it is no exaggeration to say that it is a sea without salt.

“It’s surprising again.”

Seo-ryang stuck out his tongue.

“It seems like it has grown even more since I haven’t seen it.”

Even during the reign of King Sal, I crossed the Yangtze River many times. Of course, there were many times when I went on a boat.

But is it because of my mood? The river seems to have risen more than before and its width seems to have become wider.

“uh? Guard Commander, have you ever seen the Yangtze River?”

At Yeo Sang-rin’s question, Seo-ryang flinched without realizing it.

For some reason, this guy just can’t let this happen.

“Ah, I think I remember seeing it when I was really young.”

“Well, it will be different from what I saw when I was young.”

“That’s right.”

“But guard leader.”

“why?”

Yeo Sang-rin glanced at the carriage.

“Can we just leave them like that?”

“What can’t be done?”

“No… But you haven’t eaten anything in over five days. “I drank water regularly, but…”

“What should I do if they say they are suspicious and won’t drink it?”

Yeo Sang-rin licked her lips. Well, not only was I kidnapped out of the blue, but I was even put on an enemy ship, so there was no way I wouldn’t be suspicious.

“It seems like someone who has been kidnapped knows this.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I ate well and lived well both in the Beast Palace and in the Heavenly Demon Church.”

“You just have a big stomach. And our school didn’t kidnap you.”

“Still. “When people are hungry, they can’t use their strength.”

“The guy who was busy eating a lot and then going in and lying down.”

“He stabs me where it hurts.”

“Well, it’s hard to live without tension like you, but I think it’s funny to be crazy like them. “If it were me, I would have eaten a lot to maintain my stamina.”

To begin with, the two are far from ordinary. Chawi and Sohohyang’s reactions could be said to be rather typical.

Yeosangrin looked around the ship.

“Anyway, my stomach is really big. “At this rate, we can load ten Sal King trains.”

“Ten is too much. Anyway, this is my first time seeing a ship like this.”

“It’s really fast, isn’t it?”

“I know.”

Even though it is four stories high, including the exterior of the hull, if you count the lowest floor at the bottom of the ship, it feels elongated rather than high.

There are even gun gates installed on the left and right sides of the hull. No matter how outnumbered they were, they didn’t seem to be afraid of the official’s eyes.

Moreover, such a large and heavy ship was traveling at a speed much faster than that of most speedboats.

This was a testament to the capabilities of the Yangtze River Water Company, which had developed its own shipbuilding technology for hundreds of years.

‘Anyway, everything goes smoothly.’

There was a bit of a scuffle with the ship’s owner, Yang Yu, but that was resolved well. Now all I have to do is get a good rest until I get to Uichang.

Seo-ryang, who was sitting with his back against the edge of the ship, suddenly rummaged through his arms.

‘hmm.’

A round, flat object wrapped in a small gold bag.

It was the Jeokryongpae (赤龍牌) that proved that he was the leader of Shingyo.

‘It’s amazing all over again.’

Seoliang burst out laughing without realizing it.

‘I never thought I would really become a minor master of the Heavenly Demon Church.’

The sound of splashing water and a fantasy-like sight of the water burning wildly in the sunlight.

Although it was a foreign environment, I felt strangely comfortable. Is that why? Suddenly, I remembered the road I had taken in the past.

‘I had to run around like crazy trying to do something… but is this really a turning point in my life?’

This too is amazing. The day came when I thought that becoming the leader of the Church of the Heavenly Demon would be a turning point in my life.

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

‘The Church of the Heavenly Demon that the world sees is definitely different from the Church of the Heavenly Demon that I know.’

Gangho Moorim did not hesitate to call the Heavenly Demon Church a demonic cult and criticize it as the worst organization in the long history of Moorim.

Interestingly, among the current Murim people, there were very few people who had encountered demons of the Heavenly Demon Church.

This is because due to Lee Cheon-sang’s downsizing of foreign policy, it was rare for the Majins to take part in a strong fight.

In the end, this evil rumor spread because of the past of the Heavenly Demon Church, which set out to conquer the central plains.

‘Past history proves the evil deeds of the Heavenly Demon Church… However, if you look at it calmly, there was no difference between the political faction and the sad faction.’

In a larger sense, Guangdong and Guangxi are also central plains. In the end, the political faction and the sad faction were just rampaging for their own interests.

However, this does not mean that the past evil deeds of the Church of the Heavenly Demon will be buried.

‘It’s all the same. All you have to do is pick up a spear knife and fight for a better environment, more wealth, and a better life.’

In that respect, Lee Cheon-sang’s downsizing of foreign policy was definitely an unusual choice.

“…it maximizes the absurdity of the internal organization by reducing the tension caused by the enemy.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

‘He’s a really scary person.’

Lee Cheon-sang has never said it directly. However, looking at the revealed results, it is clear what he was aiming for.

He was waiting for the Jungwon martial arts group to rot away from the inside.

He was hiding in the shadows and observing the world so that it would collapse on its own without having to threaten him with a spear knife.

‘It’s a strategy that can’t be easily used if you can’t see through your opponent properly. Of course, I don’t know if he actually induced it.’

Xi Liang filed a complaint.

‘If the cult leader truly caused the current situation, then I too am a monster born from the wave of evil he spread.’

Of course, that doesn’t mean I resent or hate Lee Cheon-sang. If you keep biting your tail like that, the number of targets of hatred will increase endlessly.

‘Rather, I should be grateful. ‘Thanks to you, I saw a new world.’

He looked up at the sky.

Birds of unknown names were roaming in the sky in flocks.

‘I hope this all ends quickly… huh?’

Seoliang tilted his head.

‘What is that bird?’

It was a bird with red feathers and particularly large wings.

It was then.

“Chaeju! “It’s a red ash bird!”

Yang Yu’s face hardened.

“What’s going on?”

Caw!

The bird, which was chirping noisily like a crow, suddenly began descending at a frightening speed.

Debt owner Janggu raised his forearm. The red fish landed exactly on Janggu’s forearm.

Yang Yu approached and opened the letter tied to Red Huaizu’s ankle.

“…!”

Prayer that causes wide eyes and blue eyes. Everyone’s eyes turned to Yang Yu.

Yang Yu muttered without realizing it.

“…Red blood salt program.”

“omg!”

“Red blood?!”

Seoliang tilted his head.

Red Blood Code? What is that?

At that time, Yang Yu looked back at Xiliang.

Xu Liang frowned.

“Why are you doing that?”

“….”

“Is there a problem?”

“Did you say you were the head guard?”

“That’s right.”

“I am sorry.”

“huh?”

Yang Yu winked at Janggu. Janggu shouted in a loud voice.

“Everyone prepare for battle!”

Cha cha cha chang!

The bandits of Habaeksuchae, each with their spears drawn.

Their sinister eyes turned to Seoliang and the others.

Yeo Sang-rin sighed.

“Oh, what else….”

“I think I understand.”

“yes?”

Xu Liang frowned.

“Is this the same Sapara?”

That’s when the group faced a critical moment.

Mukpungjo arrived at Jeokbyeok.
