Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 356

Episode 356 Depth of Faith (1)

When Hwang Gon saw Song Zheng Baek returning to the castle, he was convinced that something big had happened.

“Did the meeting with the lord of the castle go well?”

Zheng Zhongbaek did not answer.

I didn’t even sit in the royal palace like usual. I was just sitting with my chin resting in front of a small conference table in Daejeon.

A hint of anxiety appeared on Hwang Gon’s face.

“Seonglord?”

“Who are the most nimble by nature?”

It was an unexpected question, but Hwang Gon answered with sincerity.

“I would like to choose Bicheon Yonggeomdae (飛天龍劍隊) and Cheoneungdan (天鷹團). Due to the characteristics of the two units, the faster one is the Cheoneungdan, but if military force is also considered, the Bicheonyonggeomdanda is more useful.”

“Send the Bicheon Dragon Sword Team to Shandong right now. “You will probably hear from Hyeonjeon Danju and Gok Cheonsak soon.”

“Lord Seong.”

“Please contact Musang, who went to fight the Demon Cult’s forces, with payment. Stop chasing them.”

“Lord Seongseong?!”

Huang Kun asked in confusion.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“The Demon Cult has two troops. “Except for the ones currently targeting Hoshitamtam’s main force in the southeastern part of Central Plains, there is another Demonic Cult force in Shandong.”

“yes?!”

“Spread the word to those in the southeast. The Iron Blood Castle is dispatching a large force to capture Xiao Jiaoju. “If they leak that they are sending a top-level person in their teens, they will never be able to follow their true nature.”

Even Hwang Gon could not help but be embarrassed in the face of the pouring information and sudden orders.

“Seonglord, what on earth happened?”

Song Zhongbaek sighed softly.

“I decided to bury Sogyo.”

“yes? “Now?”

“That’s right.”

“Did you make a deal with Lord Uicheon?”

Song Sang-baek told him in detail the conversation with Dam Sa-young.

Huang Kun’s face turned pale.

“Temporary alliance….”

“That’s right.”

“….”

“I couldn’t help it. Whether it was possible or not, the old man was really looking to upset the midfield. “I believe he didn’t trick me.”

It was a conversation between the Grand Masters. If you tell a lie in such a situation, it could come back as a huge disaster in the future.

Huang Kun, who was looking at the money bag in silence, sighed and said.

“We will also contact the Shandong branch, Hebei branch, and Henan branch. No, I have to contact all the schools in those three provinces.”

Zheng Zhengbai raised his head and looked at Huang Kun.

Huang Kun bowed his head.

“I’m still confused, but since the Lord of Seong has joined hands with Lord Uicheon, shouldn’t we defeat our common enemy as quickly as possible? To do that, the Bicheon Dragon Sword Belt and Free Suradan alone are not enough.”

“Do you think it’s not enough?”

“yes. If it’s a head-to-head fight, sending one free gift may be enough, but if they decide to try to escape, it may not be enough. “If what the Lord said is true, there will be quite a few strong people next to Seo Jiao right now.”

Zhong Zhenbaek looked at Huang Kun with confused eyes.

Hwang Gon probably also has a lot to say. It may be confusing.

But Huang Kun did not complain. This may be because I think that now is not the time to complain, but rather the time to move as quickly as possible to achieve our goals.

‘Thank you.’

The reason why Zhong Zhenbaek chose Huang Kun was not only because of his outstanding intelligence, but also because of his personality. He was a soldier who knew what was important and what came first.

“If so, I will immediately reorganize the castle’s forces with a focus on annihilating the demonic cult leader and his group.”

“Sure.”

Hwang Gon hurriedly left Daejeon.

Song Zhongbaek buried his back in the chair.

“I believe you will understand Sogyo.”

* * *

Crack.

The sound of a burning campfire rang in my ears.

The group sat together in front of the bonfire without even being able to wash properly. Even though Gorumazon had just arrived, he couldn’t even rest for a moment.

But no one in the group complained.

“….”

Seoryang’s eyes, looking at the bonfire, contained both an inexplicable sense of exhaustion and sternness.

Ma Dong-pil thought when he saw those eyes.

‘It’s so clear.’

A thought suddenly occurred to me.

So far, Lord Sogyo has shown us many different appearances. He showed an infinitely fearful and cold appearance in front of the enemy, a cheerful and friendly appearance to his people, and a formal and serious appearance to the leaders of the Protestant Church.

For Ma Dong-pil, who had lived in Protestantism for almost his entire life and was accustomed to its physiology and the ruthless appearance of its leaders, such an appearance of enlightenment was very refreshing.

‘There was definitely something different about Lord Sogyo.’

Rigid rules, a certain degree of ruthlessness, and thorough hierarchy from top to bottom are essential to an organization.

The world often cries out for the need for a gentle atmosphere and close relationships between organization members, but in reality, organizations do not work that way. In these turbulent times where one mistake can kill you, an infinitely gentle relationship is bound to cause problems.

In addition, the Heavenly Demon Church was a religious group that worshiped the Sixth Heavenly Demon King Pasun. As time goes by, the non-sectarian tendency has become stronger, but the fundamental meaning is that it is still a group that worships God.

Therefore, the Protestant system had no choice but to be harsh, and the superiors and subordinates and their religious laws had no choice but to be strict. That was Protestantism.

‘But it seemed as if Lord Sogyo had not been able to adapt to the Protestant system.’

It’s an irreverent thought, but it certainly was that way at first.

To be precise, that was what Seoryang was like when Ma Dong-pil first saw him. Until then, didn’t the Three Princes, Xu Liang, show such vicious and vicious behavior that he was called a tyrant in the school? However, when Ma Dong-pil first met Seo-ryang, he was a completely different person than rumored.

‘Mistress Little.’

Ma Dong-pil asked inwardly as he looked at Seoryang’s clear eyes filled with the flickering light.

‘What secrets does Lord Xiao keep?’

Trying to find out the true intentions of the person you serve is disloyal.

However, Ma Dong-pil has also changed a lot since he has been with Seoryang. I still know it’s disloyal, but sometimes I have to raise doubts.

At least now was the time to do so.

“Are the horse riding squads taking turns resting?”

Ma Dong-pil answered.

“yes. “It is not yet a safe stage, so we are working in three shifts.”

“Good.”

This place was quite far away from the abandoned house. The Jinma troopers were not allowed to follow, so there were only five people here now.

Gorumazon asked cautiously.

“Master Xiao.”

“….”

“What you want to say is….”

A gust of wind blew and shook the bonfire.

Seoryang’s eyes seemed to be shaking as he looked at the bonfire.

“Oh my god. Sometimes things happen that cannot be imagined with human common sense.”

It was a random statement. But the group was nervous.

Seo-ryang had almost no way of backtracking on his words. He is showing a different side from usual. This was the reason the group was nervous.

“Just go to any closed village right now and you’ll see it. Because they have lived among themselves their entire lives, their knowledge of the martial arts tribe is minimal. “There is no need for me to go to the level of a mazon, and even with my martial arts skills as good as cherry blossoms, I will praise you as the second coming of the heavenly god and all.”

It was a sudden statement, but completely understandable.

He breaks rocks with his bare hands and runs several miles in one step. He spews fire and frost from his hands and can easily lift objects that cannot be lifted by ten men with one hand.

In the eyes of those who have not seen or learned, it will be like the second coming of the Heavenly God.

“But on the other hand, some of the villagers might say that cherry blossoms are the devil.”

Yeo Sang-rin opened her mouth.

“Are you saying that people have different thoughts and evaluations about unusual things?”

Xu Liang smiled.

As expected, Yeo Sang-rin is smart.

“that’s right. And I assure you that there are still many principles in the world that we do not know. “In front of that, we have no choice but to judge based on our own thoughts and common sense.”

Yeo Sang-rin nodded.

“That is correct.”

“What I’m about to say now is similar to that.”

“yes?”

“I think it’s a bit of a metaphor, but the essence is the same. “It will be up to each person whether to agonize over the miracle or to agonize over the person who performed or received the miracle.”

A subtle anxiety appeared on Aenghwa’s face.

She knew instinctively. That Master So is about to tell a big secret.

And that secret could shake up this relationship right now.

“Hey…”

“Hmm?”

The cherry blossom hesitated. It was okay to see Seoryang and Ma Dong-pil all the time, but now Mazon, an adult from the Protestant religion, was also there. It wasn’t easy for her to open her mouth.

Xu Liang’s expression softened.

“are you okay. say it.”

Aenghwa gathered courage and spoke.

“If you’re having a hard time… I don’t think you need to do that.”

A faint smile appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.

In fact, he was hesitating. Although he had made up his mind, he didn’t know what kind of shock the words he was about to say would have on them.

There have been many things I’ve pushed through even though I couldn’t guarantee the results, but this part wasn’t really easy.

“no. Okay.”

It wasn’t easy, but after hearing Aenghwa’s words, he gave up his hesitation.

I thought about it a lot. Then he made a decision and brought people together.

There is no need to hesitate any longer.

“Say it bluntly.”

“….”

“I am not Xioliang.”

“…?”

The group blinked.

Gorumazon asked cautiously.

“Master Xiao. “What do you mean by that?”

Seoryang’s smiling face became increasingly serious.

The expressions of the people who were filled with doubts gradually hardened.

“I am not Seo-Liang, the Three Confucius of Shinism. To be precise, he is not the Three Confucius of the past.”

“yes?”

“The Three Dukes Xiliang is dead.”

“…?”

“Of course, I’m not sure. “Is it because he died, or did I simply take his body?”

widely! Crash!

The shaking of the bonfire became stronger.

The group didn’t say anything.

Xu Liang did not look at the group. All I could do was keep an eye on the bonfire, which was shaking more and more strongly.

“Two years ago I died. When I was not in Western Liang, I died. But for some reason, even though he was clearly dead, his eyes opened. “I woke up as a member of a scary organization that I had only heard about through rumors, in a place I had never been to before.”

“…Master Xiaojiao?”

“Yes, I am dead, but I am not dead. “Whether it was the whim of heaven or the judge of the Ministry of Justice who did something wrong, I, who should have died, woke up again in the body of the Three Princes of the Heavenly Demon God coiled in the southern land of the central plains.”

Xiliang raised his head.

The expressions and eyes of the group looking at him were so bizarre that it was difficult to describe them in words.

“Now I am Seoryang. But I’m not really a westerner.”

“Hey, Lord Sogyo.”

Seo-ryang looked at Yeo Sang-rin.

Yeo Sang-rin said with a smile.

“If you say it with such weight, it makes it sound like it’s real. For a joke to work, you have to give it the vibe of a joke…”

“It’s not a joke.”

“….”

“Then am I crazy? No, not really. I wasn’t crazy. I can’t go crazy. As Mazon knows, a person with a mental disorder cannot awaken the Ultimate Demon. Even if you realize it, there is a one in ten million chance that you will come to your senses right away. Because that is the harmony landscape.”

Yeo Sang-rin’s cheeks trembled.

“You’re saying that’s true now?”

“Yes.”

“Are you saying it’s not a joke?”

“Of course.”

“Then what is the true identity of Master Xiao?”

Seoliang spoke with a bitter look on his face and a voice with a certain level of relief.

“The world’s greatest assassin, the king of assassination.”

“…?!”

“I am Cheon Ha-jin, the king of assassins. The strongest assassin of his time who was the first to rise to the ranks of the top ten masters and the most vicious sword wielded by Lord Uicheon.”
