Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 382
Episode 382 Gathering Giants (2)
Iron Sword Mazon and Gwangmadae followed.
Normally, it would have been enough to talk loudly, but Seoryang, the Iron Sword Mazon, and Wei Hongryeon did not open their mouths easily. This was because it was in front of none other than the Heavenly Demon.
Thus began the procession of the demon army across the central plains.
The leaders were Seoryang on the Tiger and Ma Dong-pil on the Geumho, followed by the horsemen of the Cheonma Army. And among the Cheonma Army, as always, there were warriors who supported the Demon Emperor.
Fumien Gorumazon and Iron Sword Mazon Jinmadae and Gwangmadae followed.
It was a sight that would make the heart of anyone who had entered the magic world would boil.
All the demons from the central plains were following the leader who appeared with only the Heavenly Demon army and were joining him. Numerous followers were at the side of the noble Cheonma, marching towards their destination.
The atmosphere was strict and the path forward was unstoppable.
They just kept moving forward and moving forward, and they were on the lips of countless people.
Now people know. In the rumor, the person leading the ghost army to the north is the Demon Cult leader. Now everyone knew that the Demon Lord, who had not been active abroad for over thirty years, had come out into the world directly leading the demons under his command.
The world was shaken.
There was a rumor coming from somewhere that Ma Jyoju was leading the Jiangxi unit and heading north. The rumor soon spread throughout the central plains, and numerous martial people came forward to block Ma Cyoju.
And everyone who stood in his way ran away.
That was the surprising thing. That he ran away.
He didn’t kill everyone like a crazy killer, nor did he possess people with magic.
It was a rumor that was truly hard to believe that he was able to prevent the martial arts faction, which was known for its narrow-mindedness, from attacking with just its overwhelming presence and fierce force.
Any martial artist wouldn’t do that, but especially the political faction martial artists were people who risked their lives for their cause and reputation. To them, the existence of a Jiangshi who went against the Way of Heaven was unacceptable in and of itself, not to mention their main enemy, the Demon Cultist.
It was right to fight at the risk of death. In fact, among those who visited Ma Gyoju, there were many martial arts people who went there prepared to die.
Even they ran away. This meant that the fear of being the Demon Cult leader was much greater than the fear of death.
Now people were not interested in the rumor that Demon Clan Lord was leading the Jiangxi unit.
Their attention was focused solely on the Demon Cult leader and the Demon Cult itself. They were keenly interested in why Ma Jiao was crossing the central plains with only a small number of troops and what his future actions would be.
While Lee Cheon-sang crossed Uichang and went to Juksan in the northwest, all kinds of rumors about Ma Gyoju spread throughout the central plains.
“I heard it’s ten feet tall and has six arms?”
“According to reliable sources, it is said that it is a being that is difficult to describe even in words such as being the best in the world. “It is said that in Danggeum Murim, there is no one who can win in a one-on-one competition.”
“Muhu Zhou Yong is dead! That Chuyongwuhu! “It was split in half with a single slash!”
“Everyone ran away. Those who attacked him fled to the underworld, and those who failed to attack him fled to their own homes.”
“I don’t know if it’s a person or a ghost, but one thing is certain. “The Demon Cultist is the closest to being the best in the world.”
“He is a plague. “Everyone is shaking with anxiety.”
“It is said that there was a great battle in Uichang. “The exact circumstances are unknown, but it is said that the Demonic Cult Master killed all the former masters of the Nine Sects.”
“Why on earth did that cult leader come to the midfield! “What is the purpose?”
It was literally a state of panic. There were some who did not care about the actions of the Demon Cultist, but their number was extremely small.
The movement of the demon spirit that the martial people watch even in the sky.
However, the person concerned did not waver even in the face of the world’s attention. On the contrary, he was even relaxed.
Before crossing from Juksan in Hubuk to Shaanxi, the troops decided to rest for a day in a nearby forest.
And Lee Cheon-sang took Seo-ryang to an empty lot where no one was around.
The sight of Lee Cheon-sang looking up at the sky with his back turned was quite refreshing.
Unlike the fierce battle at Uichang that shook the world, the night sky was very clear. The weather was cold, but the countless stars and bright moonlight were beautiful.
Seo-ryang thought as he looked at Lee Cheon-sang’s back.
‘What are you thinking?’
That day, Xi Liang saw Li Cheon Sang’s true power.
Treating himself as if he were a child, who had ascended to the top of the Demon Demon, and gathering four new recruits and refining the Heavenly Demon Sword with pure internal strength were all humanly impossible. He already thought of Lee Cheon-sang as someone half immortal.
However, despite being at the level of immortals and all, I have never personally seen what it would be like for someone who reached that level to make full use of their power.
I saw that a few days ago.
The power of the invincible who was born as a human and soared into the realm of God was no longer something that could be suppressed by tactics, strategic forces, or power.
Lee Cheon-sang is invincible. Neither an army of tens of thousands of people nor a plan to scare a ghost into falling asleep are of no use to him.
An invincible loser who flew so high that he lost his way. A defeated and invincible person whose goal in this world has disappeared.
What kind of thoughts does he have as he lives in this world?
“It was pretty good.”
Seo-ryang was startled by the voice of Lee Cheon-sang that came out of nowhere.
“yes?”
“Your martial arts skills.”
“Ah… you mean my martial arts skills?”
Xu Liang said with a bitter face.
“I said I was trying hard, but after seeing the teacher’s true martial arts skills, I felt like I had a long way to go.”
“Don’t say that. Now your martial arts skills are worthy of being called the pinnacle of the midfield. “At that level, he is worthy of being recorded in the history of martial arts as a great general.”
“You know I’m not interested in that kind of thing, right? Besides, I’m not invincible. “He may be someone worth mentioning when discussing the top of the midfield, but he’s not really the best in the midfield.”
“You shouldn’t be the best in the midfield. “I have not yet transferred the position of leader to you.”
It was an incredible confidence and a self-esteem that was beyond imagination. It was a phrase that implied that the best in the Jungwon had no choice but to be a thousand miles and should not be anything other than a thousand miles.
Xiliang scratched his head.
“Well, I’m not interested in being called the best in Joongwon. Just achieving my goal….”
“Are you talking about the Lord of Uicheon?”
“…yes.”
Seo-ryang’s answer was one beat late.
‘Do you know? Or do you not know?’
Lee Cheon-sang entered the world of a man who had lost his mind after a fierce battle with King Biyo.
Seo-ryang suspected Lee Cheon-sang, who had appeared in a vivid dream at that time or in a world of consciousness that no one could enter. I suspected that it might be an illusion created by my subconscious, not wanting to deceive him at least.
However, after hearing Lee Cheon-sang’s next words, Seo-ryang dispelled all doubts.
“Have you not been able to resolve the resentment you suffered from him?”
“….”
“I told you. The reason doesn’t matter. He said that simply living as you want is the devil.”
“That’s right.”
“Even if the resentment disappears, I don’t think your desire to kill Lord Uicheon will disappear.”
“How do you know that?”
“Because I know you.”
Xu Liang kept his mouth shut.
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.
“You are wearing the shell of a human being. “Your essence has become as much of a demon as anyone else, but you still want to live a human life.”
“Because they are people.”
“He must be someone who embraces demons.”
“….”
“I guess the reason was very important to you.”
Xu Liang closed his eyes. Lee Cheon-sang also paused for a moment.
Just like that, some time has passed.
“Actually,” he said.
“….”
“Perhaps I have let go of my resentment toward Lord Uicheon.”
“I let go of resentment… That’s an interesting expression.”
“Is that so?”
“Unless it’s resolved, you can’t go anywhere. “You know it as well as I do, so why did you say you put it down?”
“In just over two years, I’ve built up enough joy to counteract the resentment that’s built up over decades.”
“is it.”
Lee Cheon-sang, who was looking up at the sky, lowered his head. But he still didn’t look back at Xiliang.
“Let me say a word to Kangho’s junior, not his successor.”
“yes?”
“Resentment must be resolved, not let go.”
Is it because of the magic of moonlight or the silence that winter brings?
Lee Cheon-sang’s voice sounded much hollower than usual.
“Someone says They say that if you have deep resentment, you will get a bone disease. Doctors call such symptoms mental injuries.”
“….”
“But when sorrow begins to penetrate the ground, from then on people begin to move. You know it instinctively. If I don’t get rid of this deep, deep resentment, I will lose myself. “It is knowing that even if you live a life as good as anyone else, you will not be able to achieve the perfection of your self.”
“….”
“Didn’t you try to turn the world upside down because you realized that too?”
Xu Liang was unable to give any answer. This was because what Cheon-sang Lee said was correct.
When he first entered the body of the Three Confucius of Protestantism, he endlessly yearned for freedom. I dreamed of living in Jungwon, where freedom lives, rather than in a demonic religion full of fear.
It was a dream he desperately aspired to during his days as a soldier. Such dreams did not disappear just because the body changed or the environment changed.
however.
When he went down to inspect the Seven Families and saw Bangryeong, a disciple of King Biyo, at Jeoksa Temple.
Only then did he realize. The magnitude of the resentment you harbor is enormous.
I didn’t even know it was Han because it was so big that it was beyond imagination and so deep that I couldn’t see the end. After realizing the size and depth of his resentment, he knew where his path truly led.
Under heaven.
He wanted to blow away the Lord of Uicheon, who had dragged him into hell, and King Biyo, who had cut off his head and Cheolhyeolseong, who had contributed to his death. In other words, I wanted to have some fun.
I realized that if I couldn’t even do that, even if my body was free, my mind couldn’t be free. To put it in common sense, I instinctively knew that I would not be able to complete my self.
“That is why the resentment must be resolved.”
“To transform the world?”
“If you believe that your resentment will go away, that would be fine.”
It’s so easy to say scary things.
Seo-ryang, who was looking at Lee Cheon-sang quietly, said one word.
“It’s not because you know me.”
“….”
“Does the religious leader also have a grudge?”
“there was.”
“It’s in the past tense. “It looks like it has been resolved.”
“It was there, but it flew off somewhere without being resolved.”
“yes?”
Lee Cheon-sang turned around.
Xu Liang was surprised.
When Lee Cheon-sang turned around, his face was expressionless, but clear tears were flowing from his eyes.
It wasn’t Lee Cheon-sang’s feelings that his soul was crying.
It was already a trace of emotion and soul that had no reason to be tied to the body. My body was close to crying on its own.
Perhaps, if he had not reached the level he is now, if he were truly a human being.
If that were the case, he too would have been writhing in sorrow and sobbing.
“I’ll let you know. “How hellish the world I lived in in the previous generation was.”
