Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 29

Episode 29. Inevitability under the name of coincidence (1)

A night that has passed midnight and has become a happy hour.

Seoryang, who had sent away the drunken Ma Dong-pil and put cherry blossoms to sleep, came out into the yard and sipped alone.

Seoliang, who had been staring blankly at the moonlight, tilted his head.

“That’s strange. “How come when you feel like you’re drunk, you become fine, and when you feel like you’re drunk, you become fine?”

Was the original owner of this body a horseman?

Seoliang closed his eyes for a moment and contemplated the inside, then tilted his head.

‘The energy flowing through the liver is particularly active… but if I were a master of the technique, everyone would be like this…’ Even

if it wasn’t a complete transformation, it was almost like a new body. However, it is impossible not to get drunk unless you use your internal power to drive out the alcoholic energy.

“Damn, you drink to get drunk.”

It’s no fun if it’s like this…

After he finished his appetite, he blew his horn. For a moment, I felt hot and dizzy, but after blinking a few times, I felt fine again.

“…Damn it.”

Then something soft rubbed his thigh.

“Oh, is it you?”

The fox cub lied down, purring. It seemed like he knew what kind of cat it was.

I scratch its belly with my hand for no reason, and it flutters its nose eagerly as if it feels good. It looked like it was enjoying being touched, with its tail swaying from side to side and its eyes slowly opening as if out of sight.

Xu Liang chuckled.

I wish you could live without worries.

“But aren’t you hungry? “I just kept sleeping and didn’t eat anything.”

There was no answer from the fox. Well, how can a four-legged animal talk?

“Let me see.”

The boiled pork he brought as a snack was gently fluttered in front of his nose, and he lay down with his eyes closed and his mouth open.

When I quietly put it in, it chewed it well, making a strange chuckling sound.

When the fox had finished eating, Seoryang handed over the meat again. The fox still lay down and ate the meat.

“You act like that.”

Xiliang rested his chin and looked at the fox with strange eyes.

“Anyway, it’s fascinating. “How did you happen to be sleeping in that ugly place?”

Yum Yum.

“Did you really have a mother? “Then I’m a bit sorry.”

Tsk tsk.

Chew it without hesitation. A soft smile appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.

“He’s so cute. “But I’m glad it seems like it got wet… Fortunately, it chewed my hand too, which is a good thing.”

It was outrageous to see blood from a fox cub, which was not a large and precious creature, but was smaller than the size of my forearm. In an instant, my feelings of regret disappeared.

“Stop eating you bastard. “My body is the size of a mouse.”

“Ah!”

“Okay. “You do everything.”

He grumbled and emptied his drink. No matter how much I drank, I couldn’t get drunk, so I felt irritated, as if I was still sitting on a cold floor even though I had turned off the fire.

As the quiet dinner for one person and one animal comes to an end.

A bright light appeared in Seo-ryang’s eyes.

‘Didn’t you say it was Soyeonsim?’

Hwanheewon.

It is said that there is no civil war organization that has not been involved in trouble, but the importance of Hwanheewon, which was in charge of school life, was difficult to describe in words.

In some cases, the military department also needs to obtain approval from Hwanheewon. This meant that although the overall military had the upper hand in terms of ranking within the school, the power of Hwanhee Wonju was also formidable.

He recalled Ma Dong-pil’s words.

– If you want to get a clear picture of the school organization or character relationships, you will probably have to go to the military department. However, it is difficult for anyone other than the religious leader to call or confront the commander-in-chief. He said he has been very busy, especially recently.

– The defense court is also good at organizational charts, but it is difficult to understand the relationships between people. A superficial relationship diagram is sufficient, but I believe that what Confucius wants is a more detailed relationship diagram.

– In that case, it would be the fastest and surest way to meet Hwanhee Wonju.

– Confucius, whether it’s the Commander-in-Chief or the Lord of Hwanhee… they probably won’t tell you easily.

On that point, Seo-ryang also agreed. This may be okay for an organization chart, but in the case of a detailed person relationship chart, private opinions are bound to be involved.

And if that personal opinion was leaked to the outside world, there was a high possibility that it would cause quite a bit of trouble, if not political damage.

“There’s nothing I can do. Still, I have to give it a try.”

Seo-ryang whetted his appetite.

‘I can’t wait forever.’

I will confidently walk out with my own feet from the Heavenly Demon Church. No matter how many years it takes, I will move forward on my own without worrying about what anyone thinks.

There was no wavering in that promise. In fact, I was prepared to rot for several years.

I thought I needed to get stronger quickly for the future and for my immediate survival. So I gritted my teeth and trained hard.

But what? Is it over when you get stronger?

‘Absolutely not.’

I may be patient for a few years, but if I see an opportunity, I won’t miss it.

However, we cannot live like foxes with their mouths open waiting for fruit to fall. Aren’t opportunities ultimately created by people?

If you want to leave this place, you first need detailed information about the Heavenly Demon Church. It’s easy to get caught up in the situation if you’re in an awkward state like you are now.

A definitive location is required.

Rather than being simply a disciple of a cult leader, one must become a person with enough power or influence to enter and leave the countryside as one wishes.

‘It’s impossible to sneak out, and if you try to sneak in, you’ll get suspicious.’

As expected….

even after looking at it here and there, there was a need to increase its presence.

‘Does that mean I also have to run around until my feet get sweaty in order to gain power?’

I feel uncomfortable.

You can see just by looking at Uicheon Maengju how much the struggle for power depletes people. Didn’t that old man ruin hundreds and thousands of families to become the leader?

No matter how much it’s for my freedom, I don’t want to become that kind of bastard.

‘The good news is that my position is high.’

Most problems can be resolved based on status. I’m the type of guy who gets a lot of criticism anyway, so I don’t think it would matter if he sticks out a little.

‘If I’m going to create a situation where I have no choice but to get out, I have to stay in whatever situation it is. But that’s not something you can ask someone for.’

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

‘Let’s buy some and give it a try.’

Wooooow.

When I made up my mind, my heart began to beat, the flow of blood became more intense, and my demonic energy was stimulated. The demonic energy flowing from the entire body materialized into the visible area and took the form of reddish smoke.

The fox cub, which had been lying down and chewing meat, suddenly straightened up.

A fox cub looking up at Seoliang.

Five colors of light flowed from the fox’s eyes.

Ji-ing! Jiiiing!

Without Seo-ryang being aware of it, the demonic energy became even stronger.

The red smoke, which seemed to flow out and then disappear, gathered here and there and soon formed a certain shape.

A shape that is difficult to recognize, as if it is a human or an animal. It wasn’t specific, but it looked vaguely ferocious.

“huh?”

He suddenly felt a strange atmosphere and lowered his head.

The fox cub was looking up at him. Before I knew it, the five-colored brilliance that had once filled my eyes had disappeared.

“Did you chew it all?”

“Ah!”

“How dare you even answer.”

“Ah!”

“…You’re not really understanding what I’m saying, are you?”

“Ah!”

“It’s nice that he’s so consistent.”

He rubs his face against Seoryang’s hand, as if he feels better after gently stroking the bridge of his nose.

“It looks like a dog, but it does similar things, just like a cat.”

Xiliang looked up at the sky.

The moonlight is nice, but the starlight is annoying. The pouring starlight was so clear that it seemed impossible to tell which direction was going.

For some reason, that sea of starlight seemed similar to my situation.

It seemed as if they were laughing at old Mia, who was left alone in this wide world.

‘It’s not good to just hang around without knowing which way to go.’

Kuuk.

A strong will was expressed in the tightly clenched fist.

“Now that this has happened, let’s just be myself and run wild.”

* * *

Papapang!

The cherry blossoms that had been brushing for a while glanced at the training hall. There, Seo-ryang took off his top and was punching in all directions.

Pow!

‘Sigh.’

Cherry blossoms stopped breathing without realizing it.

Even though it was a long distance away and I wasn’t even using my strength, the wind pressure was amazing. And what was greater than the wind pressure was the intimidating feeling that shook the air.

Paralock!

Thick drops of sweat soaked the ground.

I was sweating profusely even though it wasn’t a training session that involved internal energy. This meant that a lot of mental energy was consumed.

‘You drank that much yesterday…’

Aenghwa was secretly impressed.

I heard that experts can extract cycles through internal power. But that’s only when my mind is sane.

He trains like that even after eating an amount that is difficult for more than a dozen men to drink. That strong will felt amazing once again.

‘As expected, not everyone can become the leader’s disciple.’

After quickly finishing cleaning, the cherry blossoms went inside. Even though it was morning, I wanted to prepare a fairly filling meal.

“Whoop.”

Seo-ryang, who had been practicing for a while, stopped moving.

The skin of my entire body turned red. My entire body was achy due to muscle pain.

‘It’s hard as expected.’

Jecheongi (提天技) was his main method of killing, encompassing all the white techniques, including recommending and reaching (拳掌指脚).

Naturally, the vastness of the style was on a different level from other martial arts.

From the method of punching a hole in the body with a single finger to the herbivorous method of swinging repeated blows. It was a martial arts skill that took Ban Si-jin plenty of time just to unfold it from start to finish.

Such delicate martial arts were performed by pressing the body with thousands of pounds.

It is a training method that can damage not only muscles but also joints, but it is as effective as it is dangerous. It is excellent for building the muscles of a fighter who can compete with a single strike, and with proper training and nutrition, it can completely change the muscles and bones.

“I don’t mind adding more time.”

His body, trained with the spiritual energy of the ancient bamboo forest, was very tough and strong. It is a risky practice, but with good equipment, efficiency can be maximized.

Seoliang looked down at the floor of the training hall.

“…It’s still not enough, though.”

There are footprints two inches deep all over the gymnasium. If the training had been perfect, these marks would not have appeared.

At that time, a cherry blossom appeared from afar.

“Confucius, have you finished your training?”

“No way. “There is still a long time left.”

“Do it again?”

“I’m warming up. “There was a mountain of work to do.”

A look of boredom appeared on Aenghwa’s face. Looking at his sweaty body and heavy breathing, it wouldn’t be surprising if he collapsed right away, but he still had a long way to go.

“How about a meal…?”

“uh? “Oh, now that I think about it, time has already passed.”

Xu Liang patted his stomach.

“People need to fill their bellies and work. let’s eat.”

“yes!”

After a stormy meal, Seoryang returned to training.

As the body is completely different from the body used in the past, it was not easy to attach the original killing technique to the current body.

Xu Liang thought.

‘I was a lifesaver. But even then, he was far from the assassin that others thought he was.’

You can’t just break down the front door in broad daylight. Seoliang has done quite a few crazy things like that.

I didn’t use stealth techniques unless I absolutely had to, and I didn’t carry them around because I was too lazy to memorize them. There’s no problem with killing people with your bare hands anyway, so why would you carry something like that around?

In other words, he was only a horseman and was no different from any other warrior in Gangho.

‘It may be a little awkward, but it won’t take long.’

At least when it comes to martial arts, we never draw lines or set limits. It was his forte.

Another half a day passes like that.

Paaang!

The outstretched fist was filled with powerful magical energy. Even though I didn’t intend to, my magical energy was released as I concentrated on the movement.

A smile appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.

“it’s okay.”

Even though it wasn’t perfect, Jecheongi started to fit into my body. It was difficult to roll, so as long as I kept rolling, it was only a matter of time before I reached my goal.

At that time, as if I had been waiting, I heard a sound outside the gate.

“Confucius.”

“Ah, are you Dongpil?”

The front door opened and Ma Dong-pil came in. In his hand was a sword.

“That’s what you said. “It’s similar to what you used before.”

“thank you.”

“It was nothing.”

After roughly wiping away his sweat, he tied the sword on his waist.

“Then let’s move slowly.”

The fox cub jumped onto his shoulder. Xu Liang scratched the fox’s chin.

Ma Dong-pil’s face showed puzzlement.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to plan the future.”

As he walked towards the front door, he suddenly turned his back.

Ma Dong-pil looked at him blankly.

Xiliang narrowed his eyes.

“If you don’t have anything else to do, will you come along?”
