Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 627 A story in the reign (2)

“Are you here?”

The siblings bowed their heads.

“father.”

Namgung Dan smiled benevolently.

“You guys are amazing.”

“yes?”

“In just a couple of months of not seeing each other, my skills have improved amazingly. I can tell without saying that I haven’t wasted a single moment.”

Namgoong Dan was not the type of person to praise his children a lot. This was because they were concerned that their children might become conceited.

However, after the family collapsed, his personality changed a little.

The world is rough. You never know when you might be separated from your family. Even his father, who was called the best swordsman in the world, passed away in vain.

We have to do our best when we can see each other. Even then, if you let someone go first, you will regret not being able to treat them better, as it is between blood relatives.

Namgungryong scratched his head as if embarrassed.

“It’s still a long way off. I can’t even think of learning the King’s Sword.”

“That’s natural. The King’s Sword is the best art of the King’s Sword. Rather, it’s even more amazing that you, who haven’t even mastered the Changgung Sword, understand at least part of the nine points of the King’s Sword.”

“ha ha ha.”

Namgunghwa grumbled.

“I guess it’s over now, father.”

“Hmm? What?”

“The girl who was so serious has run out of money. Rather than handing over the position to the head of the family, just give it to me. I will try to save the family properly.”

Namgungryong said in confusion.

“What do you mean? It’s just that my way of looking at the world has changed a little.”

“Oh hey, it looks like this guy wants to become the head of the family?”

“That’s not it!”

Namgungdan chuckled.

“Leave the joke at that. You both had a hard time getting to Yes.”

“Yes. But we are ourselves too, but…”

Surprise appeared on Namgunghwa’s face.

“Father, what are you wearing?”

Namgoong Dan always adhered to neat attire. The reason was that as the head of a family, he could not show a disheveled appearance.

He was now wearing clothes that only workers would wear.

“I must have seen it on the way. It was under construction, right?”

“yes.”

“Construction is not only happening there. The outer castle of Shingyo is also under construction. The old building is being torn down and a new one is being built. This will probably take two to three years.”

“Wow! Are you sure your father works with you too?”

Namgungdan nodded.

“What can I do if I have no choice but to eat and eat? During the day, I work with the workers, and in the evening, I have a drink with the leaders here and talk about various things.”

“Hey.”

Namgungryong smiled.

“You look very comfortable.”

“Hehe, did you see it?”

“Yes. It’s the brightest expression I’ve ever seen on your father’s face.”

Namgoongdan burst out laughing.

“I didn’t know that spending each day without thinking could be such a happy thing. As the head of the Namgung family, I shouldn’t spend time like this, but I plan to stay here and work with the workers for a while.”

Namgunghwa snorted.

“The leaders of the new church must be proud. The world’s Namgung family is helping with the construction along with the workers.”

“You brat, don’t talk like that. Everyone was trying to stop me, saying I don’t have the honor to meet the religious leader.”

“Well… I guess I had to.”

“But that’s all I have to do for today. Since you guys are here, I have to go into the inner palace. Please follow me.”

Namgungdan took the siblings to the inner city gate.

The guards of the protective court guarding the castle gate bowed their heads.

“See you, the head of the Nangung family.”

Namgungdan waved his hand.

“You don’t have to greet me like that every time.”

“no.”

“These are my children I told you about earlier. May I come in?”

“of course.”

Kugugoogung!

The gate was opened.

The identification process was extremely simple. No, it was at a level where there were almost no formalities.

The outer castle was an outer castle, but since the leadership and religious leaders lived in the inner castle, it was normal for the procedures to be much more complicated. Nevertheless, believing in Namgung Dan and letting him go meant that his status was comparable to that of the highest leadership of the Protestant Church.

“Wow…”

Namgunghwa’s face was filled with ecstasy as he looked around the Shingyo temple.

“This is the Heavenly Demon Church.”

The introspection was definitely different from the extroversion.

It’s not particularly flashier, but the atmosphere is different. The buildings looked a little more old-fashioned yet practical, and the stone statues erected along the roadside were surprisingly elaborate.

“I’m excited for no reason.”

A subtle tension appeared on Namgungryong’s face.

Namgungdan chuckled.

“If you’re that nervous, the demons here will be upset.”

“yes?”

“You can’t trust the owner who shows you sincere kindness, but you are a very nervous and glaring guest? I don’t think that would be a pity.”

“Ah…”

Namgungryong cleared his throat.

Namgungdan nodded.

“But I completely understand your feelings as well. People’s hearts are difficult to understand unless you look at them from each person’s perspective. If you are uncomfortable, it is okay to show discomfort.”

It’s okay to be like this and it’s okay to be like that.

It sounded like something out of nowhere. However, Namgung-hwa felt a subtle sage in his father’s words.

‘You’ve changed. surely.’

Since he was an outstanding martial artist, I couldn’t tell if he had grown further than before. In the first place, the gap was so large that it was impossible to read.

However, my father’s personality definitely seemed to have become more flexible than before.

‘It wasn’t long ago that the Heavenly Demon Church was called the strongest and worst group in the martial arts world…’

Namgunghwa smiled and looked around.

‘As expected, you can’t be sure without seeing it in person.’

At that time, Namgung-hwa caught the eye of a horse busily crossing the street.

Namgung Hwa chuckled.

“I guess it’s a place where Protestants live.”

“hmm?”

“Looking at it, it doesn’t seem like your skills are that great. You have the air of a scholar, but you look very sloppy, don’t you think?”

“Oh, you mean that guy?”

Namgungdan said calmly.

“This is Hu Yaoseong.”

“…yes?”

“He is the entire military force of the Heavenly Demon God Church in Hoyo Castle.”

“Huh!”

Nangonghwa was startled and looked at Huo Yaoseong.

Ho Yo-seong, who was running around in a hurry, also seemed to have discovered this direction. He smiled and waved.

“Matriarch!”

There were no other neighbors here.

Namgung Dan smiled and waved his hand.

“Are you very busy?”

“It’s okay! Would you like to have another drink later tonight?”

“I like it.”

“Haha! I’ll see you at night then! Oh, by the way…”

Ho Yaoseong smiled and looked at the Nangung siblings.

“I have received the report. They are truly talented people. The head of the family can be proud of them.”

Namgoongdan blushed.

“I never boasted.”

“You’re embarrassed. Then I’m leaving!”

“Sure.”

Hu Yaosheng ran down the street again.

Namgungryong opened his mouth like a carp.

“…That person is Ho Yo-seong, the commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Demon Church, Mannoe Seosaeng (萬腦書生)?!”

“Yes.”

“I don’t look like that at all, do I?”

It’s easy to say, but if you say it out loud, you’ll look like an idiot like no other in the world. I could never have imagined that such a person would be a great soldier who established the martial arts system of his time.

Namgungdan clicked his tongue.

“Didn’t I tell you time and time again that you shouldn’t judge a person’s abilities or character based on their appearance?”

“No… that’s it…”

“Even though he looks like that, he is one of the most powerful figures in the Protestant Church. He is the only person who can even tell a joke to the religious leader.”

“Huh!”

“It’s a shame. Be sure to remember. Among the evil people active in the martial arts world, there are far more people who look good on the outside. If you make the mistake of making hasty judgments based solely on appearances, your life will be ruined.”

The faces of the Namgung siblings turned red.

It was something I already knew, but I couldn’t fully acquire that knowledge. It occurred to me once again that there are many people in the world who cannot judge with their own common sense.

“By the way, Hwa-ah, did you bring the Uicheon Sword Spirit?”

“Yes! Here.”

Namgungdan, who received the sword spirit from Namgunghwa, nodded.

“This should be enough.”

Namgungryong asked with a curious face.

“But are there such excellent craftsmen in your father’s religion?”

“hmm?”

“I heard that this dagger is made of Hyeoncheol? I heard that Hyeoncheol is the finest iron that even the most famous craftsmen of the time could not handle easily.”

“Of course, there are many skilled craftsmen in Shingyo. But the person who will forge this sword is not a craftsman.”

“Yes? Then who creates Uicheon Sword Spirit?”

Namgoong Dan smiled.

“I am the leader of the Seo cult.”

“Yes?!”

The Namgung siblings were surprised.

“Do you know how to hammer a hammer?”

“Of course, Teacher Seo is not a blacksmith.”

“But how?”

“I don’t know about that. I guess they have their own methods.”

Namgungdan pointed across the street with his chin.

“Let’s go to where the leader is.”

“Yes? Oh yes!”

Two people followed Namgungdan.

Although it wasn’t as big as the outer castle, the inner castle was also wide enough to make your mouth drop. Even though they walked much faster than ordinary people, the Demon God Palace, the religious leader’s residence, did not appear.

However, the Namgung siblings did not think that the time was long. This is because I was busy looking at the surrounding buildings and the people walking between them.

“It’s really amazing.”

Namgunghwa stuck out his tongue.

“No one is nervous about us, right?”

“That’s right. This makes us feel even more foolish for being nervous.”

“I know yeah.”

“Not all of these people are friends with political faction figures, so I don’t know how they can be so indifferent.”

At that time, Namgungdan spoke.

“The Heavenly Demon Church is the core of the world.”

“yes?”

“It’s only been three months since Damsayoung disappeared, but the world is stabilizing at an alarming rate. And at the center of it all is the Heavenly Demon Church. Additionally, the imperial palace proudly announced that it supports the Heavenly Demon Church.”

“ah!”

“As for the Mainers, there is no reason to pay any more attention to the factional Murim people coming into Shingyo.”

Namgunghwa shook his head.

“No matter what, this atmosphere feels overly peaceful. It’s been a while since the fighting ended…”

“Because I believe it.”

“yes?”

“They are able to do this because they believe in the power and ability of the religious leader whom they worship as a god, and in the skills of the super-adepts who are hiding in various parts of the castle even at this moment.”

Namgunghwa looked around with startled eyes.

“There are experts in hiding?”

“Of course. More than half of them are so secretive that even with Abby Lee’s skills, their hiding places cannot be detected.”

“…!!”

“Do you understand? The Church of the Heavenly Demon is a battle of divination. No expert in the world can mess with the Church of the Heavenly Demon. Even if we can deal with all the hidden masters, there is another demon god who talks about the best of old and new in the Demon God Palace.”

Namgungdan smiled.

“Why is there a reason for the name Shingyo? Would it have been named Heavenly Demon? The Seo sect itself is already a member of the Church of the Heavenly Demon. In other words, the current Heavenly Demon God Church is the best of all time.” The

Namgung siblings looked at each other.

And the two realized. After hearing their father’s words, they felt similar emotions.

Surprise, envy, and a hint of bitterness.

No one can touch this. I was surprised and envious of the fact that I had entered the invincible and absolutely invincible Iron Fortress. Furthermore, I felt an unavoidable bitterness at the fact that the organization was the Church of the Heavenly Demon.

“Well, we’re here.”

Namgungdan’s eyes lit up.

“There.” “This is the palace and temple where the leader of the Demon God’s Religion lives.”

Finally, the three people arrived in front of the Demon God’s Palace.
