Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 350

Episode 350 Enlighten (5)

“Master.”

“….”

“What do you want to do?”

Hu Yao-sheng’s face was very stiff, unlike usual.

It wasn’t a made-up expression. A tension that could not be hidden was visible on the stiff face.

Unlike Ho Yo-seong, Lee Cheon-sang, who was reading the letter, was maintaining his characteristic indifferent expression.

“It’s most likely a trap.”

“No, that can’t be possible.”

The heavy voice feels like a rock, weighing down my heart.

Hu Yaosheng lowered his head.

“Everything will go according to the Lord’s will. One by

one?”

“I am against it.”

“The reason is?”

“To be precise, I will be against it if the leader does not reveal his true feelings to me.”

Ho Yaoseong bravely said that he opposed the religious leader’s choice. Even though he was the leader’s favorite general, his remarks went too far.

However, Lee Cheon-sang did not hold him accountable.

“Does this mean that you will agree if I tell you my true feelings?”

“That’s right.”

“What is the reason?”

“You know, right?”

Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

“know.”

“People call me a genius and all. However, the tricks that come out of my small brain will not be able to match the method that the leader came up with on the spot, and therefore, I cannot predict the leader’s words and actions with my poor insight.”

“I said it’s not a good habit to underestimate yourself.”

“This is not an underestimation. “I think I know myself quite well.”

“You know yourself so well that you say that.”

“Because I know.”

“Then you are thinking too highly of me.”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes wavered.

Lee Cheon-sang continued speaking in his characteristic languid voice.

“Just see what you see and feel what you feel. “I am not as great or amazing as you think.”

“Master…”

Huo Yaosheng bowed his head again.

“But that doesn’t work. Please let me know.”

“What do you mean?”

“What are your thoughts, what are you trying to achieve, and what kind of center are you thinking about?”

Hu Yaocheng’s face, which raised his head, showed a mixture of confusion and pride.

“Now I have to listen.”

The corners of Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth rose.

It was a smile that revealed deep satisfaction.

“You never disappoint me.”

Ho Yo-seong came out proudly despite the rudeness?

Not like that. That’s why I’m not satisfied with Ho Yo-seong.

Ho Yo-seong knows when he needs to know. In other words, it meant that he had a good eye and an excellent ability to read the current situation.

The young scholar who was buried in the wilderness, mocking the world for his indecency, has truly grown a lot.

“But I won’t tell you.”

Ho Yaoseong sighed softly.

Honestly, I expected an answer like this.

God is called a god because he is an unknown being. If you know the ins and outs of a god, that god is no longer revered as a god.

Perhaps, part of his desire to know the true intentions of his religious leader was his own desire to treat him as a closer lord rather than a god.

“If you do…”

“It’s not for any other reason.”

First, Ho Yao-seong, who was about to discuss the letter, hesitated. Because I didn’t expect the teacher to even explain the reason.

“yes?”

“It’s because I don’t know my own heart.”

Hu Yaosheng’s eyes widened.

Lee Cheon-sang shook his head.

“I have mastered the laws of the world and know how to live in a reasonable way. However, when dealing with such worldly issues, I am bound to make mistakes if I fail to be objective about myself. At least that’s what I thought.”

“….”

“I no longer hope for success. “I just hope I don’t make a mistake.”

It was not easy to understand.

But I understand one thing. This incomprehensible god neither disbelieved nor tried to distance himself from him.

It was simply because he had his own reasons that he could not explain to anyone.

“All right.”

“But it is also true that sometimes my heart, exhausted by boredom, is filled with a desire to put aside my mistakes and burn everything down.”

“….”

“The bottom line is that I can’t explain it to you.”

“understand. No, rather than understanding, I accepted it.”

“That’s enough.”

No, it didn’t work. Hu Yaosheng truly thought so.

But there was nothing I could do about it right now. I can only hope that one day, with true divine eyes, I will be able to look into the heart of this demon god who has reached the sky.

“Would you like to go?”

Lee Cheon-sang turned his attention to the letter.

The letter contained quite provocative content.

“I’m thinking about it.”

“If the religious leader makes a move….”

“But I won’t get deeply involved in worldly squabbles.”

Hu Yao-sheng’s eyes lit up.

It wasn’t that I wouldn’t get involved in worldly squabbles at all. He simply said that he would not be ‘deeply’ involved.

“So Jiao-ju is in the midfield. “There were a lot of different thoughts, but in the end, he divided political factions and reminded them of the value of loyalty.”

Ho Yo-seong straightened his back.

The look in his eyes as he confidently looked up at Lee Cheon-sang was truly unusual.

“However, when a religious leader steps forward, it is a completely different issue than when a small religious leader steps forward.”

“I know.”

“What the small religious leader has done so far may be in vain.”

“I know that too.”

“Perhaps the leader of the small sect may come to hate the head of the sect.”

“He’s not that kind of kid. But I won’t deny that it’s a possibility.”

“In the worst case, the leader may give up everything.”

Lee Cheon-sang smiled faintly.

“If it were that kid from the past, it would definitely have been like that.”

“yes?”

“The current level won’t do that. “I can’t do that.”

“…What did you see?”

Ho Yo-seong felt goosebumps rising as he heard Lee Cheon-sang’s calm voice.

“I have become a devil.”

“The devil?”

“To be exact, I became a devil once.”

Lee Cheon-sang buried his back in Taesa Temple.

“It is difficult to be born as a human and become a complete demon. We must struggle in the pursuit of good and evil, study the teachings of immortals, and even burn to ashes in the brimstone fire of hell.”

“….”

“But Liang became Ma too quickly. “It was so fast that I was surprised to see it.”

“Is that so.”

“So there are a lot of things I missed.”

A faint glow appeared in Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes.

It does not have a blue color like the reigning Demon Emperor of Xiliang. It was a mysterious color that could not be perceived by humans who could not tell what color it was even if they were looking at it.

“When everything is emptied, light truly opens up. The same goes for magic. “The moment he lost everything, he reached into evil.”

“….”

“That guy must have found out that the ‘freedom’ he had been dreaming of all along was nothing but empty in the end.”

Lee Cheon-sang arose from Taesa Temple.

Hu Yaosheng hastily lowered his head.

“I’ll hold on one more time.”

“yes?”

“I won’t go to school. now.”

Hu Yaosheng unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Lee Cheon-sang, who was looking down at Hoyoseong, added words that seemed like a lightning strike.

“But sooner or later a situation will come when I will have to go.”

“Yes yes?!”

“You think of an unknown being as a god. But they aren’t like that. “Whether they are Uicheon-blind or iron-blooded, they never consider a being that they do not know or understand to be a god.”

Hu Yaosheng’s face hardened.

“From this time on, we will double the escorts for the Demon God Palace.”

“It’s no use.”

“Master!”

“I don’t want that.”

Hu Yaosheng bit his lip.

“If you think so, it won’t make much difference whether you leave church now or later.”

“There is a difference.”

The image of a ghost appeared on Lee Cheon-sang’s indifferent face and then disappeared. It was similar to that of Seoliang, but much more terrifying and vivid.

“Because sometimes even the magic world needs a cause.”

“Justice…”

He turned his eyes to the window.

“Anyway, it’s about time this guy came to his senses.”

* * *

Seoryang, who was in the middle of screaming, suddenly felt a ray of light penetrating his head.

‘uh?!’

He looked down at his hands.

I saw Kwak So-gyo’s face with his eyes blankly downcast. It was King Biyo’s supply, with only tattered flesh remaining where his body should have been.

‘….’

Seo-ryang’s eyes wavered.

His hands lost strength due to an unknown shock.

Tuk. Degurrr.

Kwak So-gyo’s head, which was rolling, fell into one of the pits dug by the fire.

‘He’s dead. King Biyo.’

The reason was unknown, but Seo-ryang was embarrassed.

‘I killed him.’

An unknown confusion filled my heart. I was definitely happy and relieved, but at the same time, a strange feeling arose and disturbed my mind.

At that moment, a memory appeared in his head.

– Argh!

The image of himself roaring like an animal and striking Kwak So-gyo.

The ferocious eyes that only saw the other person as an ‘object’ and ‘prey’ that one wanted to tear and kill, rather than as an object of revenge.

Even with empty words, the image that did not look like a human came to mind vividly, as if a third party was seeing it.

bang!

Seo-ryang hit the ground without realizing it. Although it didn’t contain any energy, it was strong enough to send vibrations in all directions.

He opened his mouth.

“Gorumazon.”

His voice also spread far and wide, as if it contained inner energy.

Gorumazon knelt down.

“Reigning Holy Spirit, Heavenly Demon Immortal! Goru meets Lord Xiaojiao!”

Jin Madae also followed him and knelt down.

“See you, Lord Xiao!”

Was it just Seo-ryang’s delusion that he felt that their voices calling out for Su Jiao-ju were faintly trembling?

“Clean it up…”

At that moment, his body tilted to one side.

‘uh?’

My ears were ringing and my legs were weak.

Only then did Seoryang realize that his eardrums had burst. At the same time, I also realized that I was recovering at an alarming rate.

Furthermore, his body had become such a mess that he couldn’t even lift a finger.

dump!

“Master Su Xiaoqiao!”

Wow!

Gorumazon and Ma Dongpil stood up and approached him without any hesitation.

The same was true for Yeo Sang-rin and Aenghwa. The two white faces showed fear of the unknown, but they also contained sincere concern for Seo-ryang.

“Huh! “Huh!”

Seo-ryang’s breathing quickly became heavier.

Puzzle! Squeeze!

Blue lights appeared and disappeared repeatedly from his body. The reddened skin was radiating the heat of Guyumagong.

Gorumazon’s eyes wavered.

‘Entering demon?!’

no. It was not a symptom of paralysis.

But it seemed dangerous enough. Gorumazon spoke urgently.

“Pick up your little teacher!”

“yes!”

Ma Dong-pil hurriedly carried Seo-ryang on his back.

Phew!

‘Keu!’

Ma Dong-pil’s legs were shaking. He also suffered from serious internal and external injuries and his physical strength was gone. In the meantime, I felt like I was going to collapse as I was carrying Lord Sogyo, who was emitting unusual magical energy.

However, Ma Dong-pil gritted his teeth and endured it.

Peeeeeeee!

At that moment, Gwanghon and Gok Cheon-sak unfolded the divine law.

What radiated from their bodies was a terrible death. It was so intense that it felt almost blind.

Gorumazon shouted.

“From now on, I will take Master Xiao to a safe place! “All members of the Jinma Unit must protect Lord Xiaojiao!”

“Jonmyeong!”

Ugh!

The situation suddenly became urgent. The Jinma Army moved quickly, escorting Seoryang, Ma Dong-pil, Yeo Sang-rin, and Aeng-hwa.

“You guys!”

The lone Gorumazon roared with fierce force.

Kugoogung!

Behind him, the staggering Tiger King and the Golden Tiger radiating golden energy were supporting him.
