Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 422
Episode 422 Ten Heavenly Demons (2)
“Gigongja? “Are you really talking about public opinion?”
“That’s right.”
Surprise appeared in Mudam’s eyes.
“I thought you were already dead.”
“It’s alive. “Of course, it’s not okay.”
“Wasn’t your head hanged for committing treason together with Chen Guanyong in the past?”
Hu Yaosheng shook his head.
“It’s not like that. The criminal who was executed at the time was a fake whose frame and face were changed using a bone marrow. “He was a felon locked up in prison.”
Mudam’s face hardened.
He was a person who knew the full story of the rebellion at the time. No, any magician with a good sense would know this.
The treason at that time was a false treason concocted due to the quarrel between successors.
There were three people involved in the incident: Jin Gwan-yong, a prince, Gwan Pyeong, a scholar, and the current leader.
However, even if it was false, it was impossible not to punish those who were confirmed to have participated in the treason.
Jin Guanyong had already died at the hands of Guan Ping, so all that remained was Guan Ping.
“Are you saying it’s a fake that has been replaced with an axial ball? Don’t you know that stealing a criminal is also high treason?”
“I know.”
“But how could it be so miserable…!”
“Could it be that I committed it knowing clearly that it was high treason?”
“Then?!”
“There was approval from the religious leader, no, the previous religious leader.”
Mudam’s eyes wavered.
“Do you mean that the former leader of the cult tolerated it?”
“That’s right. At that time, the Three Dukes, that is, the religious leaders of the time, tried to deal with the two men, Jin Gwan-yong and Guan Ping, by accusing them of being traitors.
It worked well, but the ending was awkward. “That’s why he negotiated with the religious leader.”
“Were you there?”
“Yes. “I was going to skip it, but the leader of the Jeondae church told me to listen together.”
“I see.”
“Anyway, I succeeded in persuading the previous leader. Even thinking about it now, it’s a very creepy place. “He even fought back in the end.”
“Huh…”
Mudam shook his head.
“Okay, since the former leader gave permission, I have nothing to say. “But why did you keep him alive?”
“Because you made a promise.”
“promise?”
“Yes. It was a promise that if you admit to treason, you will be spared, and at the same time, you will be of great use when you become the leader of the cult.
In addition, you said that you would also teach me how to become a supreme demon.”
Mudam felt absurd.
“What a blasphemous thought… but did Guan Pyeong believe those empty words?”
“Even if it is clear that it is a lie, I have no choice but to believe it. “If I stayed still, I was really going to die.”
“If I had held out until the end, the leader might have suffered great misfortune.”
“He gave a little hope to those who had lost everything.
Don’t you think that holding on to that thread of hope is a hundred times more fascinating than destroying the other person?”
“⋯⋯I wouldn’t say that, but the opinion is that it did.”
“Yes that’s right. And the leader is really trying to keep his promise at the time.”
Mudam sighed.
“Things are so different between then and now. Even if Guan Pyeong becomes a true extreme demon master, he will never be able to harm the leader without realizing it.”
“I think so too.”
“But it is clear that Gwanpyeong is a risk factor. The leader said he would keep his promise, so we cannot intervene, but I cannot help but be worried.”
“I am like that too. Daehobeop is even more like that. That’s why.”
Hu Yao-seong’s eyes hardened coldly.
Even with empty words, Hu Yao-seong could not be called a great expert, but upon seeing the look in his eyes, Mu-dam felt his heart grow cold.
“I am thinking about imposing a ban on him.”
“Forbidden? What kind of forbidden?”
“Golden Soul Explosion Demonic Attack (禁魂爆魔功).”
“⋯⋯!!”
“I heard that it was a self-destruction martial art that only Daehobeopnim, the senator, and a few elders of the previous generation knew about.
However, I heard that in addition to acting as a self-destruction, it is also possible to banish the mind.”
Mudam’s face visibly hardened.
Ho Yaoseong continued speaking in a serious voice.
“Neither Daehobeop nor I know all of your abilities. But we know one thing for sure.
He is one of the greatest cult leaders of all time.
I don’t know how much stronger he will become in the future, but he may grow as much as the previous cult leader. .”
“exactly.”
“But not many people know of his great potential and overwhelming power.
Is it just me and the Great Protection Magon? No, let’s say that everyone in the leadership knows. However, those who should know the greatness of the cult leader still harbor distrust.”
He distrusts the religious leader.
Wu Tam was surprised at himself for not being angry even after hearing those profane words. If he had heard these words in any other place, he would have been furious and asked who the hell that bastard was.
However, Wu Tam understood what Hu Yaosheng said . . I understood that this was the position of those who had no choice but to distrust.
This was inevitable as long as the shadow of the previous religious leader still lingered over the Protestant Church.
“It’s the Christians’ problem.”
“That’s right.”
Ho Yaoseong’s eyes lit up.
“The leader’s military power can only be obtained through the leader’s talent and effort. However, gaining authority is impossible without the support of the members.”
“⋯⋯.”
“In fact, it is impossible for us to take the lead in changing the minds of the believers.
Intervening that far would be crossing the line.
“It is not appropriate to say this in front of the great guardian, but I think that in order for God to be respected by all people, God himself must prove his existence.”
“What the Commander-in-Chief said is correct.”
“In the end, there is only one thing we can do. “To block all threats coming to him.”
“⋯⋯.”
“The leader is strong. You are strong and wise.
I believe that no one, whether internal or external, can defeat the leader. But politics are different.”
Mudam nodded heavily.
“The timing is bad.”
“That’s right. Why would a senator want to die carrying infamy? Regardless of his desire for a spectacular ending, his actions must have been effective.”
“Clearly the senator crossed the line. The generosity of the religious leader who understood him was truly broad and deep.
“However, such a mistake must not be repeated again. Are you suggesting that we impose sanctions on government officials who pose the slightest risk?”
“That’s right.”
“Obviously… that is not an act that crosses the line. “Publicly
.
”
“The leader will never be angry.”
“How can you be so confident?”
“I thought that way before, too. I was confident that I knew a lot about human ‘morality,’ not the religious leader.
But after seeing the religious leader today, I was convinced. How the religious leader would run our school.”
Hu Yaocheng’s eyes lit up:
“He is trying to become a different god from the previous religious leader.”
“It’s another god…”
“I heard that the former leader ran our school with more passion than anyone else before ascending to heaven.
I think it has to be that way.
He is a person who has reached the highest level not only in terms of personal force and intelligence, but also in the administrative and military sectors, so it
is best to intervene directly in order to straighten out the collapsing Protestantism.”
“Are you saying you are not the current religious leader?”
“If you are talking about your individual abilities and talents, I think there is nothing lacking compared to the previous religious leader.
However, the situation that the contemporary religious leader faced is completely different from the previous religious leader.”
“Then how on earth are you going to run this school?”
“The invisible eye.”
“hmm?!”
“The leader is trying to become an invisible eye and look down on the world beyond our church.”
“⋯⋯?!”
“That’s why I’m sure. Even if we cross the line, the leader will never be angry. But that shouldn’t be the case.”
Mudam shook his head,
“I don’t understand what the Commander-in-Chief is saying.”
“sorry. It’s difficult to explain in simple terms. “I also didn’t analyze the leader, I just felt his feelings.”
“I just want to ask you one thing.”
“Please speak.”
“What do you mean when you say you want to look down on the world?”
“Under the magic world.”
“⋯⋯!!”
“He truly wants to establish a world of magic. At least that’s how I see it.”
A strange light appeared on Hu Yaosheng’s face.
It was a face filled with anticipation, embarrassment, nervousness, and intense passion.
“He has no intention of establishing the authority of the religious leader but receiving respect.
He is not trying to become the best cult leader of all time, but he is someone who will move to achieve the world of magic even if he becomes the worst of all
time
. ”
“I can’t let people who are running to achieve the world of magic hear noise.”

The next day.
Wow!
The door to Daejeon opened.
Seo-ryang, who was sitting in the royal palace with his eyes closed, smiled.
“Are you here?”
“⋯⋯.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, isn’t it?”
Surprisingly, there was no answer.
Even though the cult leader spoke to him directly, there was no response. This could be punishable as a serious crime.
But Xu Liang didn’t pay much attention to him.
“Come forward. “This damn Daejeon is so dark that I can’t even see his face.”
Of course that can’t be the case. It is not difficult for even a professional expert, who is much weaker than Seo-ryang and Ma Dong-pil, to check the opponent’s face from this distance.
Sreuk.
The opponent has moved.
The man’s steps walking on the red carpet seemed very unstable for some reason. Rather than a psychological problem, it seemed like my body itself was uncomfortable.
It had to be that way. Because the man was one-armed. Moreover, due to the long imprisonment, walking for such a long time would have been difficult.
Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.
“I failed.”
“⋯⋯.”
“The reason I locked you up in a prison under the penal hall that no one knows about was because of your martial arts skills.
I may have been a bit late, but if I had tried to correct the magic arts you had learned from the root, you wouldn’t have ended up like that.”
“⋯⋯.”
“I didn’t want success. I wanted to see you grow, regress, or at least change significantly. But it seems like you’ve given up on everything.”
The one-armed monster chewed his lips.
It was a face that conveyed a feeling of crushing defeat. However, contrary to that expression, the two red eyes were glowing brightly.
Xu Liang smiled.
“So, seeing me sitting on this throne, do you feel like running again?”
“⋯⋯.”
“If you want to run again, you have to accept reality first, right?”
A voice that comes in sharply.
The monster, who had been glaring at Seo-ryang for a long time, slowly knelt down.
“⋯⋯Gwanpyeong, a sinner of the Protestant religion, meets the religious leader.”
