Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 123

Episode 123 Even if you fall into a swamp, you can still breathe (2)

“Huh, huh.”

Bangryeong’s face, drenched in cold sweat, was extremely pale.

‘It won’t work out.’

The rope was tied so tightly that no blood could get through. I stayed in that state for over half a day, and my eyes were almost turning yellow.

If I had been able to use my strength properly, I would have released it in an instant and escaped.

‘profit!’

A vein appeared on Bangryeong’s neck. Still, the sealed dantian did not follow her will.

She couldn’t understand.

‘How on earth?!’

Angel magic power is one of the top ten magic skills scattered throughout the world.

Moreover, angel skill was not simply a high-level boatman. It was a martial art that must be mastered before learning the mind laws of King Biyo’s Jinsin Jeolhak.

The very fact that it is the stepping stone of the world’s best evil art proves that it is on a different level from other evil arts, and it is close to impossible to seal the dantian of a person who has mastered angelic arts.

However, it was sealed. It was not just a technique that temporarily disabled the user’s internal energy by pointing at the energy and sea points, but it was a method so harsh that if the caster did not solve it, he would have to live like this for the rest of his life.

Was there even a point-point method like this in the world?

‘This is not magic.’

The study of magic is similar to the study of evildo. Although there are techniques to subdue the mind, it is vulnerable to techniques that control internal power through delicate divination.

‘It is close to the suppression technique sealing method of the martial arts of the right faction.’

No, I’m sure. Although it has undergone many modifications, this method is clearly a favorite method used by those who have learned the martial arts of the right faction.

‘It’s also extremely similar to the Buddha’s Bloody Hand of Shaolin of Taishan North….’

Clang!

Bangryeong was surprised. Suddenly, the carriage door opened.

Woooo!!

Powerful magic energy that spreads out.

As reddish magical power enveloped Bangryeong, her body floated.

dump!

Bangryeong fell to the ground.

It’s like throwing away someone who can’t even exercise their body properly. Bangryeong gritted his teeth as the searing pain penetrated his bones.

But the pain wasn’t the problem.

Sigh!

Bangryeong’s eyes widened.

A sharp blue knife stuck not an inch away from his face. The sound of anticipation flowing with a soft glow gave me goosebumps.

“Did you rest well?”

Creepy!

It was a voice that was much more frightening than the anticipation given by the blade.

A situation where you are tied to a rope and cannot even raise your head. All that was visible was a cold sword body and shoes whose belongings were unknown.

Of course, since he knew the identity of the voice, he could also know who was in front of him.

‘The three princes of Shinism!’

Ugh.

Yuseong Cheongdo trembled as he received a faint magical energy.

“It’s not urgent, but I don’t really like wasting time. So, answer the questions with sincerity.”

“….”

“What is your relationship with King Biyo?”

Bangryeong gritted his teeth. I was very curious about how the other person knew Master, but what was more important was how to overcome this crisis.

Bangryeong is shaking his head.

However, Seoliang did not give her time to think.

Suddenly.

“Aaaah!”

A shrill scream spread out in all directions.

Rumbling.

Blood poured from the cut ear.

“Let’s move on to the next question.”

Bangryeong’s face became pale.

Don’t ask the same question again. It feels like an attitude of not caring whether something is said or not.

“How did you meet Jeoksagaju?”

“That…”

“That?”

“…I can not say.”

grasp!

A terrible scream rang out again. The part that was lost this time was all of the left fingers.

chuck.

Bangryeong’s body stiffened. The shooting star was pressing gently under her eyes.

It was a warning that if you did not answer the next question, one of your eyes would be gouged out. Bangryeong’s breathing rapidly became heavier due to the merciless fear brought on by silent violence.

“The boatman of four years harmonized very well with the horseman of the Jeoksaga Province. Was there any deal between the two?”

Bangryeong’s body trembled. The anticipation rising from the sensitive skin under my eyes was so terrifying that I couldn’t even open my mouth.

“I am…!”

“I am?”

“I… I just met with the Lord of the Red House under Master’s orders.”

It looks like he finally has the heart to answer.

But Seoliang was calm.

Sigh!

The screams got louder and louder.

Next to the ears and fingers are the eyes. Seoliang was blowing off body parts that should have been paired one by one.

It was truly a vicious torture. The fear of loss was several times greater than the pain.

“That doesn’t answer the question. Next time, keep your wits about you and answer. Do you understand?”

“You… you son of a bitch!”

puck!

Bangryeong couldn’t even scream and opened his mouth wide. Yuseong Cheongdo cut off her shoulder joint.

“I need to hear an answer, so I’ll leave my tongue alone, but I have to pay the price for messing around with my snout, right?”

“Queuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

A cold smile appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.

“It seems like you have realized your situation, so let’s start properly now.”

After a corner, Seo-ryang came out of the forest, dragging Bang-ryeong, who was completely injured, and threw her away.

dump!

“Tie them up again and put them in the carriage.”

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes wavered.

Bangryeong was covered in blood. Meanwhile, the sight of it constantly writhing gave rise to a terrible fear in those who saw it.

Wei Hongryeon clicked her tongue as she grabbed Bangryeong by his hair and examined his condition.

“This is a complete mess.”

I’m not saying this because your ears are cut off, your eyes are gouged, and your fingers are blown off.

Bangryeong’s eyes resembled the eyeballs of a dead fish. My mind was devastated by extreme fear.

Physical wounds can be treated, but mental trauma is difficult to treat. If the spirit was damaged to this extent, it would have been a huge blow to the Danjeon, and even if the seal of the Danjeon was released, recovery would be impossible.

“What should I do about the wound? “I stopped the bleeding, but the wound will rot if I leave it alone.”

“You should consider yourself lucky that you didn’t kill him.”

I thought that it would have been better to kill him cleanly, but Ma Dong-pil did not say it out loud.

“Hmm, he is like that too. By the way, have you figured out everything you need to know?”

“Roughly.”

“What is it?”

Xu Liang wiped his hands with a handkerchief without saying a word. The sight of him wiping his blood-covered hands seemed familiar.

Wi Hongryeon shrugged and tied Bangryeong back up and threw him into the carriage.

“But would it be meaningful to take him in that condition? Just kill it, right?”

These are words worthy of Gwangma Daeju.

Xu Liang shook his head.

“I’m thinking about it.”

“As you know, Confucius, if a person goes that far, it is difficult to return to normal. “Even if I take you to the main school and try to interrogate you, will you give me a straight answer?”

“know.”

Wei Honglian nodded. Anyway, the chairman of the party is Seo-ryang. Seo-ryang says so, but there is no need to argue.

“When will we leave for Geogyeong Street?”

“Let’s rest for now. “I’ll do it separately.”

“All right.”

Just like that, Wei Hongryeon left the place.

Ma Dong-pil asked cautiously.

“Confucius.”

“hmm?”

“Are you okay?”

“are you okay. Since all internal injuries have been taken care of, recovery elsewhere will be quick.”

“That’s not it….”

“Then?”

Ma Dong-pil, who had tried to coax several times, eventually had to keep his mouth shut. It was because I thought there was no need to get on Confucius’ nerves for no reason.

Xu Liang chuckled.

“There is no need to be so difficult. If you have any questions, just ask.”

“….”

“It’s okay if it’s difficult to ask.”

“You have changed.”

Seoriang turned his head to Ma Dongpil.

Ma Dong-pil said with a somber expression.

“You are very different from your usual Confucius. That’s why I’m worried.”

I don’t need to say it out loud. The tone of speech was also quite harsh. So it felt even more sincere.

“okay?”

“yes. “To be precise, you have been different from usual since you left school.”

“I guess so.”

“I thought it was fortunate that he regained his usual cool a day before entering Jeoksaga. Even after entering the house, I wasn’t worried. But…”

Ma Dong-pil glanced at the carriage.

“Ever since that woman appeared, Confucius has changed completely. “To the point where it looks dangerous.”

“….”

“I do not dare to ask Confucius what he is thinking or what his concerns are. But…”

Ma Dong-pil, who was licking his lips again as if he didn’t know how to end his sentence, lowered his head.

“I’m just saying this because I’m worried. “If you think this is a presumptuous remark, you will be severely punished.”

“Dongpil.”

“Yes, Confucius.”

“I told you this once before, right? “Don’t live with a grudge against anyone.”

Ma Dong-pil remembered. I remembered everything he said and did after meeting Seoryang.

“That’s right. “You said this before the convoy finished its work and returned to the bridge.”

“It did. “What did I say back then?”

“I don’t care if you get angry or hate it, but I told you to quickly forget those feelings and live your life.”

“and?”

“….”

“And I said this. “If you live with those feelings tightly in your head like I did, life becomes tiring.”

Ma Dong-pil’s expression became awkward.

“I don’t want to live like that either. Who wants to live a tiring life? “Whether I have any grudges or anything else, I just want to forget everything and live comfortably and find the life I want.”

“Confucius.”

“I realized how ridiculous that was. “After I met that bitch.”

Xiliang’s eyes grew cold.

“I was just born like this. No, maybe my life has made me like this. “The important thing is that I am the type of person who cannot forget my grudges even if I die.”

“….”

“I realized that this is no longer tiring. I plan to do everything I can until my heart is relieved. “In the end, that was probably the life I wanted.”

Ma Dong-pil, who had been watching Seoryang quietly, lowered his head.

“No matter what life you choose, I will simply follow you.”

“You can’t do that. “You too have to make a choice.”

“A choice?”

“We are together because we were ordered to? No, that’s not enough. That should be avoided from both me and you.”

Ma Dong-pil spoke in a powerful tone.

“The relationship started with an order, but I already made a choice. “My choice will not change in the future.”

Did you feel that strong sincerity?

Seo-ryang’s face also became more serious.

“It will probably be a lot different than before.”

“it’s okay.”

“It will be dangerous in many ways.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“There will definitely come a time when I have to use you as a pawn in chess.”

“Even if you just use it as a diploma, I will gladly accept the order.”

Ma Dong-pil got down on one knee.

“It is not because Confucius is a noble person in our school. It is not because Confucius is a great warrior.”

“….”

“Still, I will follow Confucius.”

Xu Liang nodded.

I already knew. No matter what he says, Ma Dong-pil will follow him.

But I still wanted to give you a choice. There will be a big difference unless you realize that it is the path you have chosen.

“Tell this to the great lord above. “We’re leaving in half a day.”

“Are you a geogyeongga?”

“I don’t go to Geogyeongga.”

“If I do that, where will I go…?”

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.

“A treasure trove that I haven’t visited in years. “This is the warehouse closest to here among the warehouses scattered throughout the central plains.”

“yes?”

“I’m going to Sohyanggok in Hyeongsan Mountain in Honam.”

Xu Liang turned around.

The golden tiger followed him, waving its large tail.

“Tell this to the above head. Tell the head of the Geogyeong family to come to Sohyanggok with the inspection documents.”

“…!”

“They say that if you don’t come, you will all be judged unfit.”
