Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 297
Episode 297 Yeomramagun (閻羅魔君) (3)
Cheonjungjihoe (天中之會), which started near Cheonjungsan Mountain (天中山) in Hanam, is a historic gathering that was created around the late exponents of the nine factions and the five generations.
It is said that in the past, it was a healthy gathering that compared each other’s martial arts skills and sought development. It also had the function of minimizing strife between each clan by building friendships and forming strong bonds among the young people who would lead the martial arts group in the future.
However, to date, the main assessment has been that it has become more political in many ways and has degenerated into a group that boasts of superiority by dividing sides. However, no one could point out that the Cheonjung branch was a meaningless meeting.
The nine factions and the five families were themselves the core of the political faction martial arts. Just the gathering of those descendants meant a lot to them.
“Cheonjungjihoe….”
Seoryang stroked his chin.
‘There was definitely such a meeting.’
The disciples of Lord Uicheon also often participated in the Cheonjung branch. The old man even sent him along a couple of times to escort his disciples.
Xu Liang frowned.
‘I remember it as a pretty dirty meeting.’
Although it was said to be a gathering to promote friendship, it was simply a gathering of descendants of a more powerful faction showing off.
A lot of later exponents of small and medium-sized schools whose names are not well known also participated, but most of them were busy flattering the descendants of the old faction and the five major families.
There were people who secretly offered rare treasures, and there were many who even grabbed the stoma or pushed their sisters or brothers into the room. It was because he wanted to somehow form a relationship with them and emerge as the backbone of the martial arts group.
‘Well, what would I have seen growing up under idiots who are old and only interested in wielding power?’
Seo-ryang whetted his appetite.
“So why Cheonjung Branch?”
Gong Yachi sighed in frustration. It was a sight that was rarely shown.
“A year ago, one of the late Jisoo who participated in the Tianzhong branch contacted Hao Wen.”
“To Haomun?”
That’s also unexpected.
Cheonjung Branch is a gathering of late political faction leaders. And they rarely look for Hao Mun. There is an open world called the First Room in the World, and there is also an intelligence group belonging to the Uicheon Alliance, so why would they come to Hao Wen?
“Do you know the Guyang family?”
“know?”
Although it was not one of the five major families, it was a fairly powerful family in Hanam. Considering the size of the force and the level of warriors, it could be said to be similar to the Gongsun family.
“It seems that the children of the Gooyang family also participated in the Cheonjung branch a year ago. And it is said that the daughter of the Guyang family suffered a misfortune there.”
“Bongbyeon?”
“yes. “The head of the Little family of the Hebei Peng family raped the women of the Ouyang family.”
Seo-ryang’s eyes calmed down.
“Are you sure?”
Gong Yachi nodded.
“At first, we were skeptical, but after investigating, we are certain.”
Gong Yachi is not quite sure. It talks about possibilities and tells you how to prepare for unexpected situations.
If he were to say for sure, then it would be true that the head of the Paeng family had definitely committed an unscrupulous act.
“You’re crazy.”
He is a man whom it would be a shame to curse.
Seo-ryang, who had a frown on his face, was puzzled at the same time.
“But didn’t the Ouyang family argue with the Peng family about that?”
“It seems like it was difficult.”
“Is it difficult? My daughter was raped by a piece of trash, and I need to grab her by the collar right away. “Is the head of the family that timid?”
Gong Yachi sighed.
“Gaju Ouyang is a person who knows a lot about ethics and morality. It is also a nature that cannot tolerate injustice. “The reason he couldn’t compete with his family was not because of his power, but because of his daughter.”
“It’s because of your daughter?”
“I guess my daughter doesn’t want that.”
Your daughter doesn’t want it?
Seoryang, who was tilting his head, sighed at a momentary thought.
“That’s scary.”
“That’s right.”
Although it may vary from era to era and culture to culture, women who are subjected to such outrageous acts are usually not free from society’s gaze.
It’s sad, but that was reality. The victim finds it difficult to even look at him with sympathy. Although it is right for the perpetrator to be punished accordingly by reporting the damage, it is the victim who cannot sleep and suffers.
Victims who should proudly speak out about their harm are instead hiding and suffering.
It was proof that society was not as mature as the world.
“But why did you ask Hao Wen? No, the word ‘request’ is strange. Haomun is not a problem solver group, but an intelligence group, right? “What on earth did you request?”
“It was not the head of the family, but the victim’s brother, who requested this. “Please contact me when the head of the Paeng family becomes drunk or shows signs of weakness.”
Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.
“I’m thinking of handling it myself.”
“That’s right.”
Even if the Peng family came forward and apologized to the girl of the Ouyang family, it would not be enough. But the Hebei Paeng family probably has no intention of doing so. No, there is a high possibility that Sogaju does not even know that he committed such an outrageous act.
If it is difficult to publicly announce the damage, the only way is to directly punish the victim.
“Fortunately, the victim appears to have escaped mental breakdown. “My brother said he wouldn’t have been able to make the request without the victim’s permission.”
“Right.”
Seo-ryang was lost in thought for a moment and shook his head.
“I understand why you are worried. But honestly speaking, you can probably solve it without my help, right?”
Please tell me the moments when Sogaju of the Panga is alone or defenseless.
It was easy to say, but it was a difficult order. Since speed is the key to information, even if Hao Wen relayed the information to Ouyang Se, there was a very high probability that he would miss that moment.
However, with Hao Wen, it is definitely possible.
Haomun’s communication system is solid and fast. If you accompany the warriors of the Guyang family and communicate moment by moment, you will definitely be able to capture such moments at any time.
“I told you, right? “It has nothing to do with Lord Sogyo.”
“Now that I think about it, it was like that.”
“The person who suggested detaining the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church since he came to the central government, but withdrew his statement after being criticized by public opinion. “Do you know who that person is?”
Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.
“Is it Panga?”
“yes. “To be exact, it’s pangaju.”
“But why is that?”
“The panga is moving. “I want to catch Master Xiao.”
“…Ohh?”
Xiliang’s eyes became bright.
“Will you prove it?”
“That’s right. People also know that it is not the right method, but if they actually capture Lord Xiao, public opinion will change. “The martial arts faction will no doubt support the Paeng family, saying they made a noble sacrifice.”
Now I understand why Gong Yachi came to see me.
“Their movements are more stealthy and faster than you might think. The Peng family’s forces have already invaded southwestern Shandong Province. “I will find Master Xiao within five days at the earliest or ten days at the latest.”
“What if you disrupt the information?”
Gong Yachi smiled.
“Is that what you wish for?”
Seo-ryang smiled.
“Of course not.”
An opportunity has come to blow away the Hebei Peng family’s forces. Engaging in a situation where you already know the enemy’s situation is not scary at all.
“I came here because I thought it would be a good idea for you to take care of this matter as well, since it is a situation where you have to step in anyway.”
“Of course I should. “Even if it’s not a situation like this, if it’s something like this, shouldn’t we do it with both hands?”
Xu Liang stood up.
There was a smile on his lips, but his eyes were very cold.
“When is the Cheonjung branch meeting?”
“It’s in four days.”
“The location is near Cheonjungsan Mountain in Hanam?”
“yes. There is a huge manor in a place called Soyeong-ri. They say they will be holding a meeting there this year. “If you take the Salwang train, you can reach it in three days.”
“good.”
Xu Liang turned around.
“Hey guys! Let’s get ready to move!”
* * *
Three days later.
“There’s a lot of noise.”
“That’s right.”
Hwang Bo-jun frowned deeply.
“It’s so simple that I don’t understand it at all.”
Zhuge Jun tilted his head.
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t know since when people like that started participating in the Cheonjung branch.”
Hwang Bo-jun pointed to the open space in the center of the manor with his chin.
In that vast vacant lot, more than two hundred people were gathered, laughing and chatting. They were all young people with steadfast prayers, and their strength seemed strong.
They were late exponents from all over the Central Plains. And most of them were not descendants of the old families or the five generations.
Zhugegun smiled.
“What’s wrong with you? “It’s rather lively and nice to see.”
“vigor? Where do you see that liveliness? “It’s the noise of downtrodden idiots.”
“Don’t think so much, Hwangbo.”
Hwang Bo-jun shook his head and raised his drink.
“There is no such thing as a warrior. They are just kites who give us subtle glances to impress us. “It’s so frustrating to have to live in the same era as those guys.”
“haha! What should I do? There are countless people in the world. Of course, everyone’s temperament and abilities are bound to be different.”
Zhugegun asked quietly.
“Anyway, it’s different than when I saw it last year. “It looks like the achievement of the Heavenly King’s realm has increased again?”
“That’s seven stars.”
“Chilseong? “Already?”
“Already? “It was a long way away.”
Although he said that, Hwang Bo-jun’s face showed a hint of pride.
He was in his mid-twenties and had mastered Hwang Bo-se’s secret technique, Cheonwang-quan, to the tune of seven degrees. The elixir can be obtained with money, but enlightenment must be achieved on one’s own. Considering his age, it is truly an incredible achievement.
“So you’re quite the person, aren’t you? “My prayers have become more intense than last year.”
“Would you just like Hwangbo? “I still have a long way to go.”
As Zhugegun said that, a smile never left his face. The expression was full of confidence.
The Hwangbo family and the Zhuge family were renowned as the best martial families in each region. He has achieved great heights at a young age, so he deserves to be confident.
“By the way, aren’t you coming from the party?”
“Aren’t the head of the family and the head of the Poisonous Dragon gone missing? “It’s probably not a situation to participate in a meeting.”
Hwang Bo-jun chuckled.
“What a pity. “The guy who played so energetically and well.”
It was a laugh bordering on ridicule. It was difficult for Hwang Bose, who was going through the martial forest with his bare fists, to make a good impression on Dangga, who was shaking off fear with poison and memorization.
“Anyway, your sister is still the same.”
Zhuge Jun’s eyes turned to one of the numerous groups gathered in the clearing.
In a place where there were a lot of young people, a beautiful woman was laughing. Every time she smiled, a blush appeared on the young people’s faces.
Zhugegun quenched his appetite.
“Because I really like meeting people.”
“okay?”
Of course, that wasn’t everything. Zhuge Jun’s younger brother, Zhuge Shaoying, was especially concerned about other people’s praise and attention.
“This year, almost no one has come to the old school. Namgung still doesn’t seem to be coming. “It’s going to be a pretty boring banquet.”
It was then.
Shake!
The door to the manor in the distance opened and several people appeared.
The young people who were enjoying the banquet all turned their attention to the door.
Immediately, surprise appeared on their faces. It was the same for Hwang Bojun and Zhugegun.
“…Namgoong?!”
Those who opened the door and came in.
They were Namgunghwa (南宮華) and Namgungryong (南宮龍), later exponents of the Namgung family.
