Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 457
Episode 457 Virtues that must be possessed as a leader (2)
It had been a very long time since all of the Nine Great Mazon had gathered in the main hall of the Demon God Palace.
Among them, there was a Demon Lord who had not been seen before. Although he looked as ordinary as the Lord Gwangmazon of the Senate, his eyes were extremely cold.
The Yinyama Mazon, who was full of unique complaints, the Yeolhwamazon, who had a fiery temperament, and the Hanyum Mazon, who was said to be the calmest of all mazons, remained silent.
After a while.
Hu Yaosheng appeared in the corridor.
“The general military greets the elders. “I apologize for having you come all the way when you must have been busy.”
Although it was called by order from the religious leader, it was a statement that showed that it was he who led this incident.
Gwangmazon opened his mouth.
“It is not often that the Senate is convened. It’s not that unusual, so we don’t have to worry about it. Of course, I don’t think he will notice your temperament.”
“Haha, it hurts when you say that.”
“It’s a compliment. “The general military of Protestantism should not pay attention to the opinions of the elders.”
It was a conversation that felt relaxed.
This is Gwangma Zone, which caused a major incident when Seoliang entered Panmajeong in the past. At that time, he and Hu Yaosheng had a brief but deep conflict.
However, as time has passed, their relationship has changed to one where they recognize each other’s abilities. In the first place, they weren’t small enough to hold a grudge over something like that, and they knew how much each other cared for Protestantism, so it was probably a friendly feeling.
“But what about the religious leader?”
“Oh, he told me to lead this meeting.”
In other words, it meant acting as an agent for the religious leader.
Yinyamazon grumbled.
“I hope it’s something that old men with heavy hips won’t complain about.”
“Hmm.”
Gwangmazon called to Yinyamazon in a low voice,
“This is a meeting presided over by the general military, but the one who gave the orders is the sect leader. Do not tarnish the sect leader’s dignity with useless remarks.”
“⋯⋯I’m just saying that.”
In the past, he was trying to do something big, but after learning of Gwangmazon’s sincerity, he quietly retreated. Later, after hearing what happened between Seoliang and Gwangmazon, Yinyamazone had trouble sleeping for several months out of anxiety. He knew that Seoliang would threaten him at any time. It was because he thought he could throw him out.
However, Xiliang did not touch Yinyama. He knew what kind of person he was, so he thought there was no need to waste his power.
However, for Yinyama, who had no way of knowing Xiliang’s feelings, he was just a rat. He had no choice but to live as if he were dead. Although he occasionally grumbled, he would tremble whenever the leader’s voice was mentioned.
Gorumazon said,
“Speak, Commander.”
“Yes, there is no need to take too long, so let’s get straight to the point.”
Hu Yaosheng’s eyes hardened.
“The anti-Jungkuk Association has been disbanded.”
“⋯⋯!!”
There was silence in Daejeon.
The depleted fire mazon, who was born boneless, tilted his head.
“Isn’t the anti-Jeonghoe a union of Shaolin, shamans, and the small and medium-sized sects that follow them?”
“That’s right.”
“Why did they disband? Or is their disbandment such a serious thing?”
Gwangmazon answered,
“It’s serious enough.”
Hu Yaosheng nodded,
“Yes, it is a serious matter.”
The Iron Sword Mazon’s eyes lit up.
“The Anti-Jeonghoe was a union of Shaolin and Shamans who could not stand the violence of the Uicheon Alliance. Although their direction is different from ours, I think their righteousness is genuine.”
“of course.”
“I don’t think it would be strange if they dispersed at any time since they were a group that came together for a greater cause in the first place.”
“Yes, it is not strange if they disperse at any time. However, in any organization, there are times when solidarity and dissolution become problematic.”
“Do you think that the General Military Council’s disbandment at this time is problematic?”
“That’s right.”
“In what way?”
Ho Yaoseong looked at Lord Gwangmazon.
“It seems that Lord Won has already guessed it.”
“⋯⋯It’s just a guess.”
“Can you tell me what you think?”
It is necessary to use the senator’s own mouth to explain, rather than one’s own.
Gwangmazon thought that Hoyosung had something to aim for. So, I spoke honestly and without any modifications.
“As Cheolgeom said, the Anti-Jeonghoe is a group united for a greater cause. Where is the cause? It’s Uicheon Maeng. The goal is to enable the so-called political faction coalition to regain its true political faction appearance. “That is the goal that the Anti-Jeonghoe wanted.”
The Fire Mazon tilted his head.
“But didn’t the former leader destroy the Uicheon Alliance?”
“That’s right. However, just because the Uicheon Alliance has collapsed, it doesn’t mean that the significance of the Anti-Jeonghoe’s existence has disappeared. Since the Uicheon Alliance has collapsed, there is a need for someone who can calm the hearts of the political faction members. The Anti-Jeonghoe has been performing that role so far.”
“ah?!”
“They say that the anti-Jeonghoe group will disband the organization. If they had planned to create a new political faction, the Murim Alliance, there would have been no need to disband it.”
“So, in the opinion of the Anti-Jeonghoe, the members of the political faction were sufficiently stable?”
“That can’t be possible.”
Master Guang looked at Hu Yaosheng.
Hu Yaosheng nodded.
“People see the Ganghao Three generations as a group that represents the political faction and the four faction demons. Currently, the most powerful group among the three Ganghao factions is by far the main school. Speaking of which, it is the weakest. Which side do you think shows the?”
“It’s a political faction.”
“That’s right. Originally, the weakest side in midfield was Sapa. However, in front of the absolute power of the former religious leader, the political faction became weaker than the Sa faction. Moreover, since Damsayeong has seven sects under his command, excluding Shaolin and Shaman, the sects have completely lost their focus.”
Gwangmazon nodded.
“In other words, the Anti-Jeonghoe is an organization that should not be dispersed for the sake of reality before the cause they advocated for. They had to become the focal point of the political faction. Nevertheless, the organization was disbanded.”
The fire mazon scratched his head. He was a single-minded person who spent his entire life practicing martial arts. He was almost illiterate about how the world works and politics.
“What does that have to do with us?”
“Unless the leaders of the Anti-Jeonghoe Association have some agenda, disbanding the organization is nonsense. Then why was the Anti-Jeonghoe disbanded? Our school has never put pressure on them. “If there were none and they were iron-blooded, they wouldn’t have thought about fighting back and disbanding.”
“then?”
Gwangmazon sighed and continued speaking.
“In other words, it can be seen that the Banjeonghoe was not disbanded due to the martial arts organization.”
“Where is such an organization?”
Gwangmazon looked at Hu Yaosheng again.
Hu Yaosheng nodded slightly.
Gwangmazon sighed.
“The master of the North Sea said that the Eight Iron Kings were stationed there six months ago when the leader had a life-or-death battle with the Lord of the Iron Blood Castle. And I also told you that their light armor was made for the imperial palace.”
“⋯⋯!!”
“An organization that can disband the Anti-Jeonghoe, which is held by the two gods of political affairs, through external pressure. That place is not Kang Ho-samse or Sae-o-sagung. “It’s the imperial palace.”
Daejeon was filled with silence for a moment.
Gorumazon asked in a dumbfounded voice.
“Total military. “Is this true?”
“Yes.”
Ho Yo-seong licked his lips.
“Actually, I knew right away that Dam Sa-yeong had ties with the imperial palace. And in the battle at the time that Wonju mentioned, the Eight Emperors of Cheolwang were wearing imperial palace armor, so Dam Sa-yeong and Song Sang-baek were in close contact with each other.” “I was confident that I had caught it.”
“So then?!”
“Damsayeong Sangjaebaek and the Imperial Palace. If they join hands, no matter how powerful our school is, it will be difficult to stop them.”
Silence came once again to Daejeon.
Mine is warlike and has strong pride. Mazon was no exception.
However, even those confident Magons could not refute Huo Yaosheng’s words. If Dam Sa-yeong and Song Sang-baek said they would join hands and fight this side, they would show their teeth, but if the imperial palace was also involved, it would be a different story.
No matter how much power it has lost, the imperial palace is still an imperial palace. They were the backbone of the continent and an organization with the authority to rule over all the people.
In other words, being hostile to the imperial palace is no different from turning the world into an enemy. It was not a question of power, but a question of cause.
Of course, the Church of the Heavenly Demon has never paid attention because of its justification. However, he had never pointed a sword at the imperial palace.
“Are you ready?”
Everyone looked at the Iron Sword Mazon.
The Iron Sword Mazon said in his characteristic blunt tone,
“You said that the general military knew in advance that they were joining hands. If so, I think they would have prepared some measures to deal with it.”
I wasn’t saying this to place responsibility. I was saying it because I believed in the capabilities of the general military general, Hu Yao-seong.
Hu Yao-seong smiled bitterly.
“Of course, we have prepared countermeasures for that. Furthermore, we are implementing them. In the Art of War, it is said that the battle between monks, soldiers, and monks is a succession of soldiers. It is said, “First, first, second, second, second, second.” It means that whoever wins the war wins first and then fights. I am also a soldier who pursues that.”
The Mazons breathed a sigh of relief.
“the problem is.”
Hu Yao-sheng’s eyes lit up.
“I didn’t expect that the Anti-Jeonghoe would be disbanded so quickly.”
Yinyamazon sarcastically said,
“Didn’t you say that all preparations have been completed? Shouldn’t we have also taken into account the disbandment of the anti-government council?”
“Of course, I had it in mind. As I said, I didn’t expect it to disintegrate so quickly. In fact, I estimated that the possibility of the anti-government group disbanding was less than 10%.”
“What are you going to do if I do that?”
“That’s why I called the elders.”
“huh?”
Ho Yaoseong’s bitter expression instantly turned cold.
“Please take charge of the anti-regime meeting. “All nine of you.”
“⋯⋯?!”
“I am asking you to go on a mission so that the eyes of the entire martial arts community can be turned to the elders.”

That night.
“huh?”
Wei Hongryeon looked around.
I came to Gyojujeon, but Seoryang was nowhere to be seen.
“Where are you?”
Usually, Daejeon and the sect leader’s personal space are collectively called Gyojujeon, but only the sect leader’s personal space is called Gyojujeon. The place where Wei Hongryeon entered was Daejeon, where the Hu Yao-seong and the Majons were having a conversation during the day.
When Wei Hongryeon was scratching her head.
[Inside the corridor.]
A sound penetrated her ears and shook her head.
It was the first time I had heard it in a long time, yet it was an all-too-familiar sound. Wei Honglian hurried into the corridor.
After a while, she saw Xiang Yang in her eyes.
“Huh! Cool!”
Wei Hongryeon’s eyes widened.
“uh? “Are you here?”
“Why are you doing that? “Your expression looks really strange?”
Only then did Wi Hongryeon come to her senses and kneel down.
“Dominion Seonggyo, Heavenly Demon Immortal. “Daeju Gwangma meets the leader.”
“Huh? Didn’t you hear from Dongpil?”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
“You said you were appointed as the Demon Lord. What kind of Demon Lord are you?”
“Ah…”
“Well, I’ve been a Gwangma Daeju for a few years, so it’s only natural that I’m stuck in my mouth. I understand.”
“Um… leader?”
“why?”
Wei Hongryeon cleared her throat.
“Is something wrong?”
“It’s work, every day is work.”
“Well, that’s true.”
“Why? Isn’t my little girl a horse?”
“yes.”
“To be honest.”
Even though it’s been a while since we met, we talk as if we saw each other yesterday. Seo-ryang liked Wei Hong-ryeon’s personality.
He stroked his bushy beard. He had a sinister appearance, unbecoming of a Protestant religious leader. Moreover, he was holding a gourd in one hand, and anyone could tell that it was alcohol.
It was truly a sight of debauchery. If it weren’t for his smooth skin and sturdy physique, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him as a drunkard.
“You got an internal injury?”
“Oh, that’s it.”
Xu Liang
waved his hand
.
Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
While I was in a daze,
“I thought it was about time. Let’s go in there.”
“yes? Ah, yes! But where is it?”
Seo-ryang turned around.
“Second Strategy Room.”
