Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 210

Episode 210 Raising the odds (5)

Some time in the past.

Gogu said this:

– The One who is so infinitely dark that one cannot tell where it ends and is so bright that the human eye cannot even fully see it. A person whose heart-breaking anger and resentment has reached its peak and has become rather cold, but who does not hesitate to explode like an active volcano at any time.

– A person who sees everything in the world as fun and at the same time fears everything in the world. A person who stepped into hell and looked up at the sky, and then suddenly stood on a cloud and looked down into hell.

– The leader says he is just that kind of person.

I didn’t listen to it. It was an impressive evaluation that I still remember.

However, I have never seriously thought about ‘how’ this evaluation came about.

‘Now that I think about it…’

Now that I think about it, it’s a somewhat surprising assessment.

It’s not that I’m wondering anything else. What Gogu said at that time was an assessment that could never have been made unless he was personally close to Lee Cheon-sang.

Of course, there is no law that says the head of a criminal law group does not have a personal relationship with the leader of a religious cult. Of course it could. Even though you are a disciple, you may not have a close relationship with your teacher.

However, Gogu’s evaluation was enough to evoke a much more complex and deep resonance.

“You were a disciple?”

“exactly.”

“…I don’t think you’re joking.”

“….”

“why?”

It was a statement filled with many questions. Gogu also could not answer easily.

Xu Liang frowned.

“I don’t understand. You just said this. He is said to be naturally talented and has a great eye. “They said he was a talent so outstanding that he could be nominated as the next Cheonma candidate.”

“I did.”

“But why did the religious leader kick you out? “Why did you bury the past?”

“It’s because of my origins.”

“Native?”

“It’s precisely because I am not from the Demonic Martial Forest.”

What does this mean again?

Gogu’s hand scanned his waist.

Chaaaaang!

The soft sword that had been rolled up in the waist belt was pulled out. Since it was a new recruit, it was not a sword worthy of being called an unrivaled horse soldier, but it was a sword good enough to be considered a treasured sword.

“The name of this sword is Jeong. “It’s a straight sword.”

“….”

“This is the sword that Master gave me directly. My childhood memories are vague now, but the memories of that moment are clear. “Master’s heart is fully contained in this sword that he gave me with a warm smile and placed in my small hand.”

Lee Cheon-sang smiled warmly and handed me a sword.

It was a sight that could not easily be imagined. Is Lee Cheon-sang also a person? In the past, he seemed to have been a person who knew how to give a warm smile to his young student.

But Seo-ryang’s thoughts were wrong.

The master that Gogu was talking about was not Lee Cheon-sang.

“And remember this too.”

“hmm?”

“Be sure to drive this sword into the heart of the Heavenly Demon to prove that the spirit of righteousness is alive.”

“…!!”

Seo-ryang’s eyes trembled.

Gogu laughed bitterly.

“exactly. I was a spy. “Cheonsan Baekseon (????) Ki-hyeon, who served as the vice-maeng of the Uicheon Alliance, a position that no longer exists and was buried under the reign of the then-Uicheon Alliance, was my master.”

‘Kihyun? ‘Wenju of the Heavenly Mountain Sect!’

The Cheonsan Sect was a large sect whose reputation was as great as that of the Nine Great Sects, and was a martial sect coiled in the snow-covered Cheonsan Mountain far to the west of Xinjiang.

However, the Cheonsan faction, which had flourished in movies for hundreds of years, fell over twenty years ago.

Because of the Uicheon leader of the time.

He drove out the leader of the previous generation and framed and killed his right-hand man, vice-leader Kihyeon, and did not leave the Cheonsan Sect alone. Lord Uicheon, who thought that if left alone would cause problems in the future, falsely accused the Cheonsan faction of colluding with the Demon Demon and had them exterminated.

Yes. It was a false accusation.

But was it really a false accusation?

“I realized it later. That I was just a tool to that person. “If you had thought about a true disciple, you would not have sent a child without a beard under his nose to the Demon Temple.”

“….”

“But even such a master would not have known that I would become a disciple of the Heavenly Demon. “What the master wanted from me was simply to become a worker for the Shinto religion or become a warrior and bring him small pieces of information.”

“Your distribution was also unusual.”

“exactly. And I was confident. “Because I’m good at hiding myself.”

“That’s right…”

At that moment, Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“Axis ball.”

“exactly. Chukgolgong is a qigong that was directly taught to me by the master. “I don’t know how I got it.”

Xiliang’s eyes deepened.

“Do you blame your master?”

Gogu shook his head.

“I gave up my resentment toward him when I became a disciple of the religious leader. Even though the circumstances were not favorable, I also served two teachers.”

Seoliang, who was looking at Gogu, tilted his head.

“I know how difficult your life has been. “I don’t know how I became the cult leader’s disciple or the leader of the criminal law, but I do know that he is not an ordinary person.”

“….”

“What I’m really curious about is….”

“Why are you saying this to the Three Dukes?”

“that’s right.”

Gogu smiled faintly.

“Whatever the process, the Three Dukes became the person closest to the successor. “If there are no surprises, the three princes will become the next religious leaders and rule over the new religion.”

Hearing these words from other people, especially Gogu, made me feel real.

Yes. Now the comfortable times are all gone. Seoliang became the person who would take the reins of the monster called Heavenly Demon God Church, which he had been so afraid of and felt uncomfortable about in the past.

“Anyway, if you are chosen as the successor, you will know everything about me.”

“So you told me in advance?”

“exactly.”

“If you knew it somehow, there was no need to tell me now, right?”

Xu Liang tapped the table with his index finger.

“And that includes bringing me to a bar that I run with my own money.”

Gogu nodded.

“That’s right. “Considering the relationship between me and the Three Dukes, there was no need to bring him to my favorite bar and ramble on about the past out of nowhere.”

“however?”

“I just wanted to check on the Three Dukes.”

“check?”

“exactly.”

“What kind of confirmation is this?”

Hearing Gogu’s words that followed, Seoryang felt a shiver run down his spine.

“I thought the Three Dukes were spies sent by the Uicheon Alliance like me.”

“…!”

“Of course, there was no physical evidence. Actually, it’s not that big of a deal. However, I smelled something similar to mine from the Three Dukes.”

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.

“It smells similar….”

It feels good.

He was not a spy sent out like Gogu. He was nothing more than a murderer who served as the Lord of Uicheon’s limbs and fell into the jaws of the monster known as the Heavenly Demon God Cult as a result of heaven’s prank.

However, it was clear that Gogu felt some kind of kinship with him.

“But… it seems my intuition was wrong.”

Gogu glanced at the kitchen.

Just as the food seemed to be ready, Old Man Kang walked out grumbling.

“Damn, it’s been a while since I’ve done this, so I’m going back and forth. The seasoning may not be right. Even if it’s salty, I just eat it.”

“Old man Kang.”

“Why are you calling me again? “If you’re going to order more food, don’t even open your mouth!”

“How do you feel?”

“What’s wrong?”

Gogu pointed towards Seoliang with his chin.

Old Man Kang answered indifferently.

“Not this guy.”

“Really?”

“I said no. This guy doesn’t have that musty smell that’s typical of political faction bastards. “Bitterness is exactly what Mine is.”

“Right.”

“Even if it’s bitter, it’s not that strong. Mine is Mine, but it’s a bit unique. “Looking at me, I’m sure I’m going to have quite an accident.”

Xu Liang laughed.

“What is this situation?”

Before Gogu could explain, Old Man Kang spoke.

“What the hell! “I brought this blunt bastard here to find out whether you were a spy sent by the Uicheon Alliance or not!”

“Does the old man know that?”

“Has the young man seen the horse?”

“Do you know?”

“That’s why I brought you!”

“How do you know?”

Old Man Kang looked back at Gogu.

“Didn’t you tell me?”

“exactly.”

“Well, you don’t even know. “Have you overcome the hardships of your tearful life?”

“I solved it.”

“But why didn’t you tell me about me?”

Xu Liang frowned.

“Who is the inspiration?”

Old Man Kang snorted.

“If this guy didn’t say anything, there must be a good reason. So I won’t say anything either.”

“You guys are doing whatever you want.”

“This is a young animal with a rag in its snout. “The world is going well, you idiot.”

“It’s not easy for an old man to speak rudely to a disciple of a religious leader.”

“You bastard! “I’m not a Protestant, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re the sect’s disciple or the sect’s concubine!”

Xiliang snorted. I was afraid that old ears might not hear it, so I played it two or three times in a row.

“If you come into Shingyo, you are also a demon. “If you don’t treat your disciples with respect, how can you treat your teacher with respect?”

“You’re old, you bastard.”

“There is some great significance in being at an age where you can recognize a grave.”

“How about it? why? “If you don’t like it, are you going to stab me with a knife?”

“Why bother raising a knife when you can die even if you touch it? “I think just one chestnut would be enough, right?”

Old Man Kang grumbled while looking at Gogu.

“Why is that guy even more cheesy than when you were young?”

Old Man Kang waved his hand as if he was disgusted and went to sit down where he had been dozing.

“If you don’t have enough, take it yourself and eat it. “Because I cut you.”

Old Man Kang crossed his legs as if showing off, crossed his arms, and lowered his head. Then, before I could count to three, there was a growl.

“You have all kinds of interesting inspiration.”

Seoliang, laughing, stood up from his seat.

“Let’s go out to the backyard.”

“hmm?”

“You’re sleeping like a young man. “It’s a nice day, so let’s eat outside.”

Two people came out carrying food and alcohol.

After pouring alcohol into two glasses, Seo-ryang asked as if he was throwing it away.

“Do you know about that spiritual being?”

“There is nothing he doesn’t know.”

“but.”

He is a suspicious old man. And he is a curious old man.

Normally, it was clear that he would have been curious enough to know who the old man was. But for some reason I didn’t want to do that today.

You will find out over time anyway.

Xu Liang raised his glass.

“The reason you brought me here was to find out if I was a spy for the Uicheon Alliance like you?”

“exactly. But that’s not the only reason.”

“then?”

Gogu followed suit and raised his glass.

His eyes sank deeply.

“I just wanted to talk about various things with the Three Dukes.”

“I am so sorry. “I don’t think having a little chat with me, who’s standing close to me, will make you feel better.”

“That’s why I regret it.”

Xu Liang chuckled. Then Gogu also smiled.

“Let’s have a drink.”

Two people emptied their glasses at the same time.

Xu Liang said calmly.

“I have a favor to ask.”

“Please speak.”

“Please choose one of those incarcerated in prison and exchange him for Guan Pyeong. By using your axial foramen. Of course you don’t need to teach me.”

Gogu did not ask why. Because I had already guessed it.

“Has the teacher given permission?”

“Would I ask you this if you didn’t do it?”

“Even if you didn’t give me permission, wouldn’t you have caused an accident?”

“If you say that, I have nothing to say. Anyway, that’s my request. “Will you listen?”

Xu Liang was nervous inwardly.

However, Gogu answered so coolly that it felt empty.

“I understand.”

“…uh?”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Oh no. “Thank you.”

“But I also have a favor to ask.”

Seo-ryang whetted his appetite.

“That’s right. Well, I feel comfortable with the transaction. “What is your request?”

“For the next one year, please kiss me whenever I want.”

This is another unexpected request.

Seo-ryang’s eyes widened.

“Bimmu?”

“exactly.”

“….”

“Will it be difficult?”

Xiliang looked directly into Gogu’s eyes.

Gogu was sincere. The youthful desire in their eyes was surprisingly strong.

Xu Liang nodded.

“good.”

“Thank you.”

“Thank you. “It’s just a transaction.”

“I don’t need to write down a separate certificate or something, right?”

“How does this guy look at me?”

Gogu nodded, finished his drink, and stood up.

“Get up.”

“why?”

“Speaking of which, please rub with me now.”

“The food is cold.”

“….”

“I understand. Let’s give it a try.”

Seo-ryang stood up and looked up at the sky.

The sky was still clear.

“…Now that it’s come to this, I’m going to have a game with you, drink a lot, and then go to sleep.”
