Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 468
Episode 468 Imperial Palace Wind Fortune (2)
“It really isn’t easy.”
Dam Sa-yeong let out a soft sigh.
“For some reason, it seems like everyone who gets involved with that guy turns out to be a fool. “I have instructed you to retreat immediately if my demon cult leader or mazon appears.”
“I think it’s probably because Master Demon is young.”
It was completely understandable. Right now, Damsayeong also underestimated Seoryang until Uicheonmaeng flew away.
A person who is born with great talent but cannot yet reach the ultimate level.
The extreme meaning did not mean martial arts. It meant his experience as a Kanghoin and a martial artist.
But Seoliang was different. Even at a young age, he knew not only absolute martial arts skills, but also the ability to use tactics that were as good as those of himself or the Lord of the Iron Blood Castle.
There is no need to question anymore. It’s a waste of time to ask how he became such an absolute person. What is important is that he is an absolute person who can be considered the best in the world.
“You captured Prince Eulji instead of killing him?”
“exactly.”
“You’re trying to find out something.”
“It won’t be easy. Eulji-gun’s martial arts skills are not much inferior to mine. Especially the mental power trained through kendo…”
“That is meaningless.”
“hmm?”
Dam Sa-young’s eyes deepened.
“It’s hard for even me to guess his abilities right now. It’s always been like that. “Whenever I think this is enough, I always show more.”
“…!”
“He will do whatever it takes to get information from Eulji-gun. Whether it’s torture or witchcraft. “There’s no way he could have been captured alive without that level of planning.”
“You mean…?”
“I should think you noticed. “What role will the imperial palace play in the future?”
Neung Jeok-ban (陵笛返) could not understand Dam Sa-young’s excessive concern for Demon Clan Lord… At least, among the people he had seen, there was no one who was as quick-witted and skillful at tactics as Dam Sa-young.
But I didn’t bother to understand. As much as Dam Sa-yeong was good at politics, he also had an excellent insight into his opponents. Since he said he had misunderstood his opponent so far, he had to think that his opponent was a great person.
All I have to do is play an appropriate role in this fight. I didn’t intend to do anything more or less than that.
Damsayoung asked while looking at the neungjeokban.
“How was it for you?”
“what?”
“You wouldn’t have been caught, right?”
Neungjeokban answered in a cautious voice.
“I’m not ruling out the slight possibility. But he never showed up or came out of hiding until the fight was over and everyone left. And we moved after confirming that they were heading to Daesan (大山).”
“hmm.”
“I always checked to see if anyone was following.”
“No one found out?”
“If I had even a hint of that, I wouldn’t have come here.”
Damsayoung nodded.
He didn’t trust people. I just believed in that person’s abilities and past.
“I don’t think you got the title of ‘Ten Master’ by gambling, but I believe in your ability to be called the Great King.”
Myeongwang.
It is not the King of Myeong, written with the character Myeong (明) for brightness, but the King of Myeong, which means the king of the bright (冥府). It was a nickname that showed what his martial arts pursuit was.
“You worked hard. “Let’s go and rest now.”
“I understand.”
Neungjeokban stood up from his seat.
But he didn’t leave the door right away.
“Dam lord.”
“You tell me.”
“Has your mind changed yet?”
“What do you mean?”
Neungjeokban’s eyes deepened.
“I’m talking about the time after we took control of the world together with the imperial palace.”
Damsayoung smiled.
“why? “Are you afraid I’ll break my head?”
“exactly.”
Dam Sa-yeong highly praised Neungjeokban’s honesty. At least Neungjeokban was a person who knew how to distinguish between when to admit things honestly and when not to say anything. Plus, I hated lying.
It wasn’t easy to handle as a subordinate, but as long as you feed it on time, it won’t betray you.
“Don’t worry. “Even though I am over seventy years old, I will be able to live another year with Heavenly Dragon’s skills.”
“I know. But immortality has nothing to do with ambition.”
“Hey King.”
A deep desire arose in Dam Sa-young’s eyes.
“I am a person who dreamed of conquering the world even before I became a powerhouse.”
“….”
“In other words, it means that I am a person who can only live like that.”
“After the strongest and stealthiest sword you ever wielded was broken, you became stagnant for some reason. “You can’t deny that.”
“You don’t deny it.”
Neungjeokban, who was looking at Damsayoung, nodded.
“I’m sorry for taking up your time. “I look forward to the next orders.”
“Please go in.”
The Neungjeokban left the room.
Damsayoung shook her head.
“A dog can be easily tamed, but a wolf is difficult to tame. “He is truly a great man like a wolf.”
Of course it didn’t matter.
He was the one who had controlled hundreds of wolves as he wanted. Among them, the highlight was definitely Cheon Ha-jin.
King of Death Cheon Ha-jin. He wasn’t the strongest of the wolves, but he had the most rebellious temperament. He was the one who made it so that even such a bastard wouldn’t dare bark.
Compared to that guy, dealing with the enemy squad was easier than eating cold porridge. At least it didn’t require blood sacrifice.
‘Bloody hell.’
When I heard about blood loss, a thought came to mind.
The condition of the person who had been poisoned with the most poisonous blood poison ten years ago, before Uicheonmaeng flew away, or even before that.
“Hello.”
“Did you call me?”
Damsayoung smiled coldly.
Contrary to his expression, his voice was full of sadness.
“I will go to your Majesty. “Please call Assemblyman Sang.”
* * *
“Captured.”
Hu Yao-sheng’s eyes lit up.
“I received a call from Hebei at the second level. “He is in Hebei.”
“It’s Hebei… You said you missed it in Zhejiang, right?”
“It appears that he took a ship from Zhejiang to Hebei. “It is clear that the pursuers have been blocked from the source.”
“Isn’t he usually a fast guy? Besides, the weather in the East Sea must not have been very good. How did we get there so quickly?”
“It is not an ordinary ship. According to the information I received from Somoonju Gongyachi, it was not made by Kangho or Saewae.”
“then?”
“This is the imperial speedboat.”
Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.
“As expected. “I guessed it, though.”
“It appears that he is reporting directly to the imperial palace.”
“It has to be that way. If it is transmitted through an information network, although the speed is fast, there is a risk of information theft. It would be safest to report directly. “I just didn’t know it would be this fast.”
Xu Liang frowned.
‘Even so, it’s too fast.’
A person who secretly watched the fight against Euljigun.
I attached the Xinjiangbuju Cheolmujeong to him, but I could not easily approach the Cheolmujeong. If I hadn’t connected with the Military Ministry’s monument, I would have missed it the moment I left Guangdong.
The divine techniques of a transcendental expert who are close to the realm of fire, and the martial arts and stealth techniques that are beyond one’s discernment.
‘Are you a teenage master?’
Xi Liang asked.
“What is it?”
“It’s still unclear. However, according to Gongyachi Somju’s judgment, there is a high probability that he is one of the top ten masters.”
“Is there any chance that it is a cilantro grown separately by Dam Sa-young?”
“It cannot be ruled out, but considering the organizations under Dam Sa-young that we have investigated so far, I think the possibility is slim.”
“You have to be careful until the end. He’s like an onion. “No matter how hard I try, I don’t know where the end is.”
“of course.”
Although he said so, Seoryang also guessed that the other person was one of the top ten masters.
It was nothing else. The stealth skills and temperament of the guy I sensed were neither supernatural nor magical. It was truly a continuation of the orthodox Jungwon martial arts tradition.
Dam Sa-yeong is the one who even released the secret King of Swords into the central plain without letting anyone know about it. I don’t know if he raised it himself, but it’s probably not an unmanned bird.
‘Whatever it is, what’s important now is that there’s another enemy like that.’
The high priests of the Heavenly Dragon alone have great power.
This is not because they are strong, but because their abilities are different from the midfield martial arts. In addition to that troubling history, there was also a need to be even more careful as there were more strong players at the top of the teenage level.
“Find out where the teenage masters are, except for Damsayeong, Song Songbaek, Namgung, and Noh Seonbae.”
“I have already given the order. “You will be able to confirm within 15 days.”
“good.”
“But…”
Ho Yo-seong glanced at Joo Seo-yoon.
Xu Liang shrugged his shoulders.
“I’m trying to get you to do some work.”
“Oh yeah.”
I don’t think I’m in a good condition to work.
Joo Seo-yoon’s face was somewhat pale. I didn’t feel like I was in pain, but rather like I was in a big shock. The eyes were also blurry.
“What is the above order?”
“We are selecting talented people to join the Demon King Territory.”
“good. “Did Dongpil go to Sogungju?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s probably a very difficult situation. Prepare a command-level elixir. “He’s a guy suited to ice skills.”
“All right.”
“When is the Senate dispatched?”
“We are in the process of making adjustments, but we plan to deploy them as soon as Wiryeongju’s talent selection is completed.”
“good. “Don’t forget to spread it like a fan.”
“of course. I have already told the senator. “They say they are discussing which region they will cover as they move north.”
“Definitely proactive. “I’m sure it will be used in various places soon.”
“A crisis is an opportunity. Although he doesn’t show it, Wonju must have been excited for the first time in a long time.”
“I guess I should scratch it gently once in a while.”
Joo Seo-yoon looked at Xu Liang and Hu Yaosheng alternately.
The two seemed very busy. In the meantime, it felt like the conversation was progressing steadily.
It was a world he did not know. She wasn’t ashamed of it. At least that was the case until a little while ago.
But not now.
‘What about you….’
It was clear that he was very busy. He probably doesn’t have time to put as much effort into martial arts as he does.
However, Seo-ryang was immediately promoted to the top, and he remained stagnant for over a year.
Joo Seo-yoon’s eyes deepened.
She never cared about others, but now it was different. Her eyes were following Seo-ryang’s every move.
At that time, Seo-ryang saw Joo Seo-yoon.
“how is it? “Are you busy?”
“yes?”
“The strategy room.”
This was not the strategy room of the Demon God Palace, but the military department’s strategy room. The strategy room here was so large and complex that it could not even be compared to the J Strategy Room.
Numerous people were running here and there doing business. They were secret agents belonging to the military department.
“Yes, you look very busy.”
“Yes, those guys are the busiest people at our school. “They won’t even have time to practice martial arts.”
Just by looking at it, it looks like that. It seemed like there wasn’t enough time to sleep, let alone practice martial arts.
but.
‘Strong.’
The martial arts skills of the secret agents were much more solid than expected. Even while I was busy going from place to place, my eyes were strained at the step methods and new methods that were ingrained in me.
At least they were better than Joo Seo-yoon in spiritual arts. Everyone was like that, no matter who they were.
“If you have anything to report, please contact me.”
“All right. uh? But where are you going, leader?”
Seo-ryang placed his hand on Joo Seo-yoon’s head.
Joo Seo-yoon flinched without even realizing it.
“I’m going to look around here and there to make some people for this extremely hard guy, and to make preparations before a large-scale sortie.”
“You can’t play without me.”
“I have a conscience too, man.”
“Oh yeah.”
“What is that stupid answer? “Are you really insulting me?”
“Is that possible?”
“Is it breathtaking sometimes?”
Hu Yaosheng buried his face in the documents.
Xu Liang chuckled and said.
“let’s go.”
“…Where?”
“To prepare for war.”
“yes?!”
Xiliang’s eyes deepened.
“Shall I tell you one thing?”
“yes.”
“If war breaks out, many people will die. “No matter who the winner is.”
“….”
“For victory to remain a true victory, post-war recovery must be faster than anyone else’s. “I hope that you, Yeongi, Yeomin, and others will become the pillars of that young generation.”
“…!”
“You said something pointless. Now, let’s go to the place where you can make people.”
“Where…?”
“To the old people who will soon be old.”
