Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 629



Episode 629 A story in the reign (4)

“Hello.”

The black and white pair slightly lowered their heads.

“Are you here?”

Namgungdan said with a smile.

“I came to see the leader. We made a promise, but are you still inside?”

“He’s probably not here right now. I heard he has a place to visit for a while.”

“Oh really?”

“I’ll be back soon. Would you like to wait inside?”

Namgoong Dan’s eyes widened.

“Is that okay?”

The Demon God Palace is the largest and most sacred place of the Heavenly Demon God religion.

The Demon God Palace was a place where even the highest-ranking leaders of the Protestant Church could not reside unless permission was given. However, the head of the Namgung family, one of the best families of the political faction, was told to come into the Demon God Palace and wait.

It was time for the black and white pair to open their mouths.

“You are the religious leader’s honored guests.”

Everyone turned their heads.

Mudam was walking there.

Mudam said with a smile.

“For the demons of our church, the Demon God’s Palace is a sacred and inviolable territory, but isn’t it true that we can bow our heads to the church leader’s guests like we demons do?”

Namgungdan bowed his head.

“Great protection law.”

Mudam also bowed his head.

“The teacher gave this person a word. If he can’t come on time, I want you to have tea with me.”

“Oh, did you?”

“Let’s go in.”

“Then I will shame you.”

So the four people entered the Demon God’s Palace.

Namgunghwa looked at Mudam with curious eyes.

Mudam asked without even turning his head.

“Is there something on this old man’s face?”

Namgunghwa was surprised.

“Huh! Oh, that’s not it.”

“But how can you stare at this old man’s face?”

“Because it’s fascinating.”

It was a bold answer. Mudam burst into laughter.

“What is so surprising?”

Namgoonghwa instinctively knew when to show her true intentions and when to be polite. So she spoke honestly.

“I heard that the Great Protection Law of the Heavenly Demon Church is one of the strictest in the Demonic Martial Forest.”

“is it?”

“Yes. I heard that his martial arts skills are comparable to those of the Old Demon Lord, enough to bring down Mount Tai, and his strictness is the best even in the Protestant Church, so I heard that he is a person that no one can easily look at.”

Mudam shook his head.

“You’re not wrong. It was like that once.”

“You mean not now?”

“Now that I have a trustworthy successor, I am slowly beginning to let go of the heavy burden of Great Protection.”

Namgungdan said with a smile.

“Are you talking about team leader?”

“That’s right. I think he’s quite capable of handling the position of Daehobeop, but he’s insisting on the position of leader, saying he still has a lot to learn.”

“I think I understand.”

“hmm?”

“A master is like a parent. It is every child’s wish for his parents to have a comfortable retirement, but at the same time, it is also the child’s wish to see his parents live young.”

Mudam smiled.

“I don’t know yet.”

“Haha, have a drink with your team leader later. No matter how close you are, if you don’t talk openly, you won’t know what’s inside you.”

“Thank you for the advice.”

Namgungdan, who was watching the martial arts story with a smile, tilted his head.

“Where did Butema Howie go?”

Mudam pointed north with his finger.

“He went where he belonged.”

* * *

“Have you memorized everything?”

“of course.”

Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

“It’s the same in any area, but the taste of alcohol in particular can vary greatly depending on minor temperature differences and the fermentation process. If you want to make it right, you have to pay attention to every single thing, even if it’s annoying.”

“All right.”

“okay.”

Lee Cheon-sang quietly looked at Seo-ryang.

Xu Liang smiled.

“Why are you looking at me so intently?”

“To keep it in my memory.”

“yes?”

“It’s because I want to remember the face of the man who became the first man to rule the world of magic for as long as possible.”

At that moment, Seo-ryang felt overwhelmed.

He spoke as calmly as possible.

“We have not yet achieved the world of magic.”

“It has been achieved.”

“….”

“You know, right? You’ve already achieved the world of magic. You’re just lacking a little bit of color.”

“I have to finish the coloring.”

“Of course you should.”

“So, don’t go anywhere until we achieve a complete Demon World.”

The corners of Lee Cheon-sang’s mouth rose.

“Why? Did you think I would disappear somewhere forever?”

“You’ve already disappeared from our lives, right? I just want you to watch over us a little longer.”

“I already have no regrets, so what can I do by watching you more?”

Seo-ryang smiled mischievously.

“I don’t know what you’ve become one with, but aren’t you frustrated? Please keep it that way. Wouldn’t it be nice to come here once in a while and have a drink like this when you think of your student?”

“I always wanted to see Shingyo.”

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes deepened.

“And I always wanted to be by your side.”

“….”

“But this is also not natural. Thanks to the unprecedented favor of the Yoseon, I did not die as a human but melted into the world as a half-seon, but it is not right to bring in the soul so often. It’s work.”

“A person whose very existence is against the odds has now come to find the natural order.”

“Why don’t you just curse and tell me to go to hell?”

“I cannot send my master to hell as a disciple.”

Lee Cheon-sang chuckled.

“How much alcohol do you have left?”

Xu Liang shook the bottle.

“There’s about one sip left.”

“Give it to me.”

“You are very greedy.”

“You have a mountain of alcohol in your liquor store.”

Xu Liang smiled and handed over the bottle.

Lee Cheon-sang drank the last sip.

“Liang.”

“yes.”

“Let regrets be regrets.”

Xu Liang’s eyes wavered.

That meaningful word pierced somewhere in my heart.

Lee Cheon-sang put down the bottle and smiled brightly. Unbelievably, that smile contained deeper affection than any smile I had ever seen.

“I don’t know if you know, but you are much kinder and softer than you think.”

“To date, more than tens of thousands of people have died by my hands.”

“It deserves to be called a rare assassin. However, even after killing so many people, you still maintain your own soul. That is difficult for anyone.”

“….”

“I know that I have lived a poor life so far.”

“I’ve never chased money.”

“I’m not talking about money.”

“….”

“You lived a life starving for a proper ‘relationship’.”

Seo-ryang clenched his fists without realizing it.

“When you were young, you fought to eat, and when you went under Damsayoung’s command, you fought not to die. In those decades, you have never built a proper human relationship.”

“….”

“You always wanted freedom. But you should have looked closely at what caused you to want that freedom.”

“Cause….”

“What is freedom and what is an ordinary life? For humans, an ordinary life cannot be created without relationships with others.”

“….”

“The freedom you desire ultimately comes from the desire to live with someone.”

Xu Liang looked at Li Cheonsang in silence.

“Why, you know me better than I know myself.”

“You have a personality that is easier to understand than you think.”

“Haha, I’ve heard it a lot.”

“Let me ask you something. Even now, do you want to throw away the burden on your shoulders and spend the night alone?”

“….”

“Do you want to give up your position as the leader of a Protestant religion and move to some countryside to make a living cultivating rice fields?”

Xu Liang smiled bitterly.

“no.”

“You have wanted a life like that. But why are you saying you don’t want to do that now?”

“Because I am satisfied with my life now.”

“Is that the end?”

“And…”

Seo-ryang closed his eyes.

Although I closed my eyes, I could vividly see the countless people I had built relationships with.

“Because there are many people who can help ease my burden.”

Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

“You finally built a relationship.”

“That’s right.”

“And you’re satisfied with just that.”

“Yes. I think so.”

“You are a thousand worthy successor to me. If you are more greedy, you can open the realm of myth at any time.”

“….”

“If you put your mind to it, you can live comfortably for two hundred years. By then, all your precious people will have died. What do you plan to do then?”

Xu Liang’s eyes wavered.

Lee Cheon-sang nodded.

“Breaking up is difficult for anyone to get used to. There is no choice but to endure it or cut off the relationship.”

“….”

“Would you cut off ties with your people just because you don’t want to break up?”

“I can’t do that.”

“I guess so.”

“But I don’t want to break up either.”

“You already sent me.”

“You are here.”

“Then, unlike before, I can prepare my mind and send it off.”

Xu Liang gritted his teeth.

Lee Cheon-sang looked up at the sky.

“It always bothered me. Even though I didn’t die as a human and became one with something in the world as a half-seon, I kept thinking about you. I couldn’t give you everything I could have given you.”

“…I received it in abundance.”

“Thank you if you think so.”

Lee Cheon-sang lowered his head, grabbed the bottle, and then put it down again.

“I really wanted to tell you how to make Six Heavenly Heart Juice.”

“….”

“Death means forgetting. The memory can last for a hundred years at best. But tradition and history can last a thousand years.”

“….”

“Just as I taught you the recipe for the Six Heavenly Heart Pillar, later on, tell your disciples this secret. With this, I will be able to live for another thousand years.”

Lee Cheon-sang stood up.

Xiliang did not wake up. I didn’t even look up at Lee Cheon-sang.

I just sat there and looked at the empty liquor bottle on the ground.

A benevolent smile spread across the teacher’s face as he looked down at his student.

“And I was waiting again for the day when you would put a blanket in this place.”

“….”

“You probably knew that today’s drink is the real farewell drink.”

“I knew it.”

“Then why are you hesitating?”

Seo-ryang, who was quietly looking at the empty bottle, stood up.

I didn’t bow. When Lee Cheon-sang died, he offered his prayers with all his heart. It was impossible to kill someone who had already passed away twice.

Just as a Heavenly Demon.

The previous Heavenly Demon, who was called the Absolute Demon God and led the peak of Shinism, was faced by the contemporary Heavenly Demon, who was called Yeomra Demon God and had achieved the world of magic for the second time in the history of Protestantism.

There was no more delusion visible on Seoryang’s face as he confidently faced Lee Cheon-sang.

Lee Cheon-sang said.

“What do you hope for?”

“I wish for nothing more.”

“What do you see?”

“I see what I want to see.”

“What are you listening to?”

“I only hear what I want to hear.”

“If so, where will you head now?”

Xu Liang smiled.

“I have to head to Shingyo again.”

Lee Cheon-sang stroked Seo-ryang’s shoulder.

“Goodbye.”

Pusssss.

Lee Cheon-sang’s body became light and passed away.

Hehehe!

The illusion created by Panmajeong disappeared in an instant.

Xiliang looked up at the sky.

The power of Panmajeong had disappeared, but the light rising into the sky was still vivid.

Xi Liang sighed.

“He seems like a cold-hearted guy.”

So, Xiliang sent his teacher.
