Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 138 Devils and Ghosts (3)

Hong Yeo-rin’s explanation was somewhat rambling.

This was because I was physically and mentally exhausted, nervous, and very confused.

However, Seoliang was able to fully understand the general situation.

“So, are you saying that those guys came into Jeoksa Temple last night and turned everything upside down?”

“…yes.”

“Obviously those aren’t normal. You can tell how well trained you are just by looking at your posture. But isn’t Jeoksaga a family so easy that it can be taken over in one night?”

Hong Yeo-rin was speechless. Her eyelids were fluttering as she lowered her head.

Seo-ryang’s face hardened.

“Is that how many troops arrived?”

“….”

“That’s right.”

The Seven Seven Families of Madou are on the same level as the Five Great Families of the Wulin faction. Although the Five Dynasties may have the upper hand in terms of the number of simple masters, the Chil Family has the upper hand in terms of the size of the troops that can be utilized.

In other words, it is not a force that can be easily defeated. There are a handful of forces in the central plains that can overwhelm the forces of the Seven Families.

So it was difficult to understand. Except for the time called ‘one night’.

‘If it’s obvious, is it obvious?’

If that powerful force had tried to occupy a family the size of Jeoksaga, they would not have sent half-hearted troops. They would have been swept away at once with such overwhelming firepower that there would have been no time to call in reinforcements.

This was an understandable reason for the fact that it was occupied in one night.

Ma Dong-pil opened his mouth.

“What is certain is that they are not members of the Uicheon Alliance.”

“Why do you think so?”

“Our school’s main enemy is the Uicheon Alliance. “The same goes for iron-bloodedness, but the concentration you are watching is different.”

“yes.”

“The guards of the Protectorate receive professional training in the martial arts unique to the martial arts faction, especially the Uicheon Alliance. “I become familiar with the characteristics and habits of their martial arts, as well as the main formations they use.”

“Hmm.”

“They were definitely strong, but they did not use the martial arts that overlapped with the Seongi (仙氣) that is unique to the martial arts of the right faction. Rather, he was good at practical swordsmanship and killing methods.”

“….”

“No martial arts sect in the martial arts sect teaches such martial arts.”

Not really.

Seoliang did not bother to tell him that if he decided that they were the ones who raised the monster called the King of Death, then it was the Uicheonmaeng who could create a weapon more terrible than the Celestial Demon Cult. For example, Ma Dong-pil could not read any traces of the martial arts of the right faction in the old Yuinhwa painting method created by collecting the secret records of the old Daemun faction.

However, Seo-ryang agreed with Ma Dong-pil’s words.

“Just to add, these guys aren’t even sent from Iron Blood Castle.”

Ma Dong-pil looked at Seo-ryang in confusion. Excluding the Uicheon Maeng, the only organization capable of swallowing up the Jeoksaga in one night is the Sanghyeolseong.

“The Uicheon Alliance values fidelity and righteousness. At least that’s the case externally. “Then, what about Sanghyeolseong?”

“We aim to follow the path of defeat.”

“okay. “In some ways, it is similar to our school.”

“That’s right.”

“But Iron Blood Castle is like a giant doll that has been put together in a haphazard manner. This means that there is no history that firmly supports the school like our school. So, even though their power is large, they are one step lower than the main school or the Uicheon Alliance.”

“ah!”

Xi Liang looked at Jang Han hanging on the tree.

“These guys’ martial arts skills are practical and intense, but their history is as good as that of the martial arts faction. “It means that it is not a martial art that was perfected in one or two generations.”

“….”

“It is not a central power.”

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes deepened.

“Saeoe Murim.”

“I’m not sure. “But it’s too elaborate.”

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t you remember that time? “The guys who attacked the convoy.”

Ma Dong-pil exclaimed.

“Nanman Beast Palace. “It was a part of Saeoesagung (塞外四宮).”

“At the time, I was so out of sorts that I didn’t even think about it, but would even the most crazy people attack our school on their own? Even if we end up joining hands with one of the two fierce cities.”

Seo-ryang and Ma Dong-pil’s gazes collided in the air.

The two people spoke at the same time.

“It’s a sword palace.”

“It’s a sword archer.”

The Jungwon Moorim tend to look down on the Saeoyeon Moorim.

To put it simply, they are considered barbarians. It was the same in the past and it is the same now.

Unlike Maengseonggyo (盟城敎), which was competing for hegemony in the central plains, Saoeosagung was divided into the east, west, south, and north, but this was the reason why it had its own unity.

Moreover, unlike the barren lands on the outskirts, they have been eagerly targeting the fertile lands of the central plains. However, he was unable to control the midfielder alone.

So they gathered together under the name of Four Palaces. It can be said to be an alliance of Sae-o-Woorim, which is one and four, and four and one.

That was the reason why Seo-ryang thought that they were a group of swordsmen. If the Beast Palace attacked Shingyo’s troops, the Swordbow could also target Shinkyo.

Moreover, after seeing the martial arts they used, there was no room to think about other groups.

Hong Yeo-rin was embarrassed.

“What do you mean sword archery? Are you talking about that sword archer from the East?”

The two people did not respond to Hong Yeo-rin’s words.

“But there is one thing I don’t understand.”

“That’s right.”

“hmm? “Do you feel the same way?”

“I don’t know what Confucius is thinking, but I find this somewhat puzzling.”

“say it.”

“What on earth do you believe in and do something like this?”

The Church of the Heavenly Demon is recognized by everyone as the strongest force in the Demonic Murim.

It is great enough as a single force, but it is also a being that can have a strong influence on all sects of magic. With just one command from Shingyo, all warriors with demons in their hearts rise up.

It would have been better if they had hit the main mountain, but the place they controlled was one of the seven families. The Seven Witches of Magic were a powerful enough force, but they were not a group that could replace the Church of Heavenly Demon God.

“It was an amazing thing to take control of Jeoksaga. “But I don’t know what to do next.”

“My thoughts are the same. Even blocking rumors has its limits. Just holding Jeoksaga in your hands is not enough.”

It was no exaggeration to say that the group currently in control of Jeoksaga was in dire straits. Even if you run away to the east or west, it is the territory of Protestantism, and running away to the south is no different from committing suicide. Because a monster called Shingyo is holding out at the southern end.

“In the end, the only way out is to the north, and in the north…”

Ma Dong-pil’s face hardened for a moment.

Xu Liang nodded.

“okay. “There is Uicheonmaeng in the north.”

The two people looked down at Jang Han hanging from the tree.

There was a treasured sword, Hyoeumgeom, with an antique appearance.

“Could it be that Uicheonmaeng and Sword Palace have formed a cooperative relationship…?”

“Excessive imagination is prohibited. Moreover, cooperation between such large organizations is not at all easy.”

Ma Dong-pil kept his mouth shut.

It is as Seo-ryang said. In particular, an alliance that promotes cooperation and the greater good like the Uicheon Alliance joins hands with the Saeoe Moorim, which are closer to the enemy than the Dongdo? The possibility of that happening is infinitely close to nothing.

“Well, actually, that’s not important right now.”

“yes?”

Ma Dong-pil looked at him with puzzled eyes. Hong Yeo-rin also seemed to have no intention of having anything more important than this.

A red-hot look appeared in Xiliang’s eyes.

“The important thing is that my prey was intercepted by a tough guy.”

“…!”

“Whether the situation in the midfield changes or not has nothing to do with me. I have come to place Jeoksaga under me. To pamper myself thoroughly. But you were hijacked in the middle, right?”

“….”

“This feels so shit!?”

Ma Dong-pil wanted to ask whether it is more important now who the third force is and why they did what they did rather than the presidential election.

But I couldn’t. This is because Seo-ryang’s face was too serious to be dismissed as a simple joke.

Seoliang looked at Hong Yeorin.

Hong Yeo-rin, who had been dazed, flinched.

“What about the Commander-in-Chief?”

“yes?”

“What’s going on with that stupid Commander-in-Chief?”

“…no. “He left his home the evening before the attack, but he hasn’t been seen since.”

“There’s a lot of pestilence going on.”

Hong Yeo-rin’s eyes wavered.

“Do you really think that General Secretary Jang joined hands with these guys?”

“Or maybe he was already murdered.”

“You mean murder?”

Xu Liang said angrily.

“Getting rid of soldiers to annihilate the enemy is the basis of tactics. “If the head of the family is in a hospital bed, the head of the family is not there, and even the governor is absent, how is the Jeoksa family any different from a group of big idiots?”

“No, it is much more credible that General Secretary Jang trained with those guys.”

Hong Yeo-rin, whose eyes were filled with a sinister, murderous look, seemed to already think of Jang Woo-hwi as a traitor.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a traitor or something. “Anyway, it doesn’t mean that the commander-in-chief is currently in Jeoksa.”

“….”

“The damn divination has disappeared.”

Ma Dong-pil asked.

“You mean the one who made a fortune?”

“I was going to entrust that guy with the Jeoksaga. “I needed someone who could use his head, but he disappeared.”

The matriarch’s bloodline is right in front of my eyes, and he says that kind of thing.

Hong Yeo-rin gritted her teeth.

“What kind of nonsense is that now…!”

“Noisy!”

“….”

“I’m so crazy, so just shut up.” “I’m sure I’d already be so pissed off.”

Seoliang messed up his hair.

Ma Dong-pil cautiously opened his mouth.

“Confucius. “I think I need to contact the headquarters first.”

“….”

“Confucius?”

“uh?”

“….”

“why? “Do you have anything to say?”

“A risk! “I think I need to contact the headquarters.”

Xu Liang wrinkled his face.

“That’s right. Damn, for the first time in a while, I thought things were going to get better, but then I got hit in the back out of nowhere.”

“First, I will go to the nearest branch and conduct a survey…”

“No, that’s okay.”

“yes?”

“There’s no need for you to move.”

“What do you mean by that?”

At that time, there was a powerful energy wave coming from afar.

Even without revealing oneself, the level achieved is so high that it exudes a presence that is difficult to breathe. It was a prayer reminiscent of the dark and heavy deep sea.

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes widened. Hong Yeo-rin, who was startled, took a step back without realizing it.

Xu Liang stood up.

“You came just in time.”

After a while, Zhonglisan Mountain appeared. The large figure trotting along holding a silver long spear creates a truly overwhelming atmosphere.

“Are you here?”

Zhong Lishan nodded and glanced at Zhang Han hanging on the tree.

“this person is?”

“It’s the enemy.”

“An enemy… is it a warrior from the Uicheon Alliance or the Iron Blood Fortress?”

“It’s more complicated than that.”

Seoliang briefly explains the whole story.

A look of astonishment appeared on Zhong Lishan’s face.

“Jeoksagaga…? “Is that true?”

“Ask here about the authenticity.”

Zhong Lishan looked at Hong Yeo-rin.

Soon his eyes widened.

“Aren’t you the daughter of Jeoksagaju?”

“….”

“no way? “Is what the inspector said true?!”

Hong Yeo-rin lowered her head. Is it because I met a demon from the same Seven Houses? I felt like crying for no reason.

That sight alone was enough. Zhong Lishan realized that Xu Liang’s words were true.

“How dare you!”

Phew!

A terrifying energy wave erupted from Zhong Lishan’s body.

Even if the path we take is different, we are all part of the same Seven Families. I couldn’t help but feel angry when I heard that it had been taken over by people whose identity I didn’t even know.

Seo-ryang’s face became cold.

“Now that it’s like this, I have to go forward without hesitation.”

“Of course.”

“Please have someone fly Jeon Seo-gu to our school.”

“I understand.”

Xiliang looked up at the sky.

His once cold face soon turned indifferent. Although he was gradually becoming closer to a demon, he still retained his identity as a death god.

“You were caught wrong.”

A path to destroy Uicheonmaeng and Sanghyeolseong.

There is a primary destination on that path: a successor. And having Jeoksaga under his feet was the first step to becoming a successor.

But I was interrupted by people I didn’t even know who they were. It was as if the place where I was trying to take a step toward my dream had turned into mud.

Xiliang couldn’t bear it.

“I’ll give you a huge harpoon, whether it’s sword archery or anything else.”
