Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 219

Episode 219 A dagger is best dipped in poison. (3)

The heat of the succession battle has cooled.

Jin Guanyong, the strongest of the successors, lost his life, and Guan Ping was also beheaded. Hong Wei-moon was still in a state of death, and Joo Seo-yoon and Jong Li-yeong and Chae Yeo-min were seeds that had not yet ripened.

In the end, it is Seoryang. The Three Confucius, Seoliang, is the winner of the succession battle and will be chosen as the successor. In many ways, such as military power, resourcefulness, etc., he is not lacking in being the next master of Protestantism.

In this way, the short and intense fight between the successors came to an end. I just thought it was like that.

However, the day after Guan Pyeong was executed, a rumor like a bomb swept through the school.

“Gogu, the leader of the Hyeongbeop Church, was the first disciple received by the religious leader and is a true prince.”

It was a shocking rumor.

Gogu, head of the criminal code, was a name engraved with fear among the demons on campus. In fact, he was Lee Cheon-sang’s first disciple.

The Magicians were taken aback by the unbelievable rumor. Although the source of the rumor was not clear, the impact it had had was too great.

That time when everyone was shaken, everyone was distrustful, and everyone was filled with anxiety.

The words that came out of Seo-ryang’s mouth shook the entire religion.

“I haven’t been with him since I joined the school, but I’ve always thought of him as a reliable person.”

That meaningful word greatly increased the truthfulness of the rumor.

Since these were the words of Seoriang, the closest successor, they had as much impact as rumors. If the Three Confucius think of Gogu as a great person, then Gogu is really Lee Cheon-sang’s first disciple.

A series of extreme confusion.

Everyone’s eyes turned to the military department. They didn’t dare or need to cast a suspicious eye on the Demon God Palace, so what they wanted was confirmation of the facts from the military department.

The day after the rumor broke out.

A sound like a lightning bolt came out of the mouth of Hu Yaocheng, the head of the military department.

“Only the church leader knows how he became the leader of the criminal law. “Whatever his past, he is no longer in a position to discuss succession, so church members should not give in to rumors and do their best in their respective positions.”

This is what a person with power over all people says.

It was not a rumor that could be easily silenced with just a few words, but surprisingly, the heated atmosphere quickly calmed down.

Hu Yaosheng was not a person who came to the forefront easily. Needless to say, the leader of the cult, Lee Cheon-sang.

The fact that such a powerful person came forward and said such a thing meant that the Protestant religion would not be shaken again due to Gogu’s past. No one will tolerate that.

That’s it. I knew about the unexpected past of the head of the criminal code, but nothing has changed.

That’s how the demons knew and that’s how they forgot. It’s surprising, but it’s not something to worry about.

However, for some people, this fact may not be something to ignore. In particular, Gogu’s past can be a great attraction for those plotting in the shadows.

The insidious plotters finally took action.

What they were aiming for was gogu.

* * *

Midnight.

Gogu, who was working with a lantern on, felt the wind blowing from the window.

There was a somber look in Gogu’s eyes.

“Who are you?”

There was no answer back.

The gaze that had been fixed on the document slowly rose. His eyes moved back to the window and then to the bookshelf by the door on the other side.

There was a man there.

Unlike the man who was dressed in clothes as dark as the dark office, the man’s face was pure white. The sight of a severed head floating in the black darkness gave me a sharp eerie feeling.

“It’s an amazing feeling.”

Those were the man’s first words.

“Jin Gwan-yong noticed it too, but it was one beat slower. Guan Pyeong didn’t even know until he spoke to him. You are different. “This is the first time my hiding skills were discovered so quickly.”

“I asked who it was.”

“Who are you? Well, that’s fine. “There’s no way you don’t know me.”

Gogu frowned.

Although it wasn’t like daylight, the man’s face was clearly visible to his expert eyes. But no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t figure out who he was.

“I refrain from playing with words. “Please reveal who you are.”

“There is nothing to reveal. “Because it’s what you see.”

Ugh.

Powerful magical energy surged from Gogu who stood up.

Gogu looked at the man’s face once again.

His eyes grew bigger and bigger.

“you are…?!”

“Do you recognize it now?”

The sight of a man smiling as white as his skin was eerie in itself.

“Yes, this is Song Kyung.”

Surprisingly, his identity was Song Gyeong, the former Lord of Jinma. In the past, he was the servant of Hong Wi-moon, a scholar, and was involved in a terrible relationship with Wei Hong-ryeon.

A look of disbelief appeared on Gogu’s face.

“Weren’t you demoted to the outer castle on the second month of your imprisonment?”

Yes.

Song Gyeong, who was entangled with Seoliang, was imprisoned and demoted to Segokdan in the outer castle. Segokdan was the final sorting place for food ingredients entering the inner sanctum and was affiliated with Hwanheewon.

The man who was the leader of the Myeongsaek combat unit was demoted to Segokdan under Hwanheewon. It was much more humiliating than being reassigned to a suburban branch.

Such a person infiltrated the residence of Gogu, a transcendental expert, as if he was coming and going. It was truly amazing.

But there was something more surprising.

‘You got younger?’

Song Gyeong was the same age as Gogu.

But now he looks no different from a young man in his early twenties. The skin tanned by the sun had turned white, so even the quick-witted Gogu could not recognize it right away.

“Actually, what’s important is not my identity.”

Song Kyung’s face was grave. It seemed like he was leisurely and indifferent to the world.

It has really changed a lot from Song Gyeong of the past. He seemed like a completely different person from the time he joined hands with Hong Wei-moon to achieve success.

“What matters is your potential.”

“Possibility?”

“Don’t you want to take the presidency?”

He appears out of nowhere and suddenly says something dangerous.

Gogu’s eyes darkened.

“What are you talking about?”

“That’s literally it. They said he was a disciple of your former religious leader. “I don’t know why you became the Head of the Criminal Justice Department, but I guess the ambition in your heart hasn’t disappeared, right?”

At that moment, I felt a prickling in my heart.

Yes. He was ambitious. And that unfulfilled ambition still lingered in his heart, tickling his heart.

“If you still have that ambition, why not join hands with me? “I was the leader’s first disciple, but isn’t it a shame to give up the presidency like this?”

It was a monotonous voice with no pitch. That makes it even more tempting.

But Gogu did not waver. The ambition that I haven’t let go of has been strangling my heart at times, but I have something much bigger than that.

That was my pride as a demon.

“Was it really you who lured Jin Gwan-yong and Guan Pyeong?”

Song Kyung’s eyes sparkled.

“Do you know that much? “That’s amazing.”

I admit it obediently. That honest admission was based on endless confidence.

“Well, if you’re the head of the Criminal Justice Department, you’ll know enough.”

“What is a dagger?”

This time, Song Kyung couldn’t help but be embarrassed. His eyes widened.

“It looks like this bastard blew everything before he died. Was it a mistake to join hands with him?”

“Answer the question.”

“You will find out little by little. As I said a little while ago, the important thing is not my identity or my weapon. “What matters is your heart.”

Gogu’s eyes deepened.

“What a strange statement. “From what you say, it seems like you think I can win the presidency if I want to.”

“I saw it clearly. If you help us, we can eliminate all of the current candidates. “The leader’s words about selecting a successor are not false, and he will naturally have no choice but to choose you.”

‘We’…

Gogu shook his head.

“You don’t know anything. “The leader is not like that.”

“Even if you don’t, isn’t it worth giving it a try? “There is no shame in struggling to be the best.”

“These are not words that should come from the mouth of a bastard who hides and plots schemes.”

Song Kyung’s eyes narrowed.

A subtle magical energy appeared in the narrow eyes. I can assure you that Gogu has never felt such magical power before.

Although it was a magical energy whose density was indescribable, its stealth was unrivaled. It is convergence, not expansion. In the first place, magic skills were not suitable for stealth skills, so it seems that he learned mystical magic skills to maximize his skills in stealth skills.

“Are you confident you won’t regret it?”

Gogu smiled.

I don’t know what kind of magic skills the other person has mastered, but he hasn’t lived a life so clumsy that he has to give in to threats and temptations like this.

“It’s up to you to regret. “It goes without saying that it is a serious crime for someone like the head of Segokdan to infiltrate the office of the head of the criminal law.”

Slurp.

Song Kyung raised her right hand. His right hand was also white like his face.

“You got the wrong person. “I analyzed him as the one with the most potential out of the three, but I was wrong.”

Raise your hand and concentrate your demonic energy. It was clear that he intended to attack, but Gogu did not raise his magic energy.

I’m just saying it again.

“By three, do you mean the candidates excluding the Three Dukes?”

“Of course.”

“You said we. “Have your colleagues visited there now?”

“Well, that’s fine. “I have the loyalty to tell you that far…”

At that time, a voice pierced Song Kyung’s ears like an arrow.

“There’s no need to listen.”

Paaaaang!

A split second.

Song Kyung’s body was already sinking into the window. It was so fast and stealthy that Gogu couldn’t even react. There was no illusion.

Song Gyeong’s choice to flee rather than attack was correct.

However, no matter how right the current choice is, it is meaningless in the face of an unmanageable disaster. He shouldn’t have come to Gogu in the first place.

Quack!

Song Kyung’s eyes wavered. His wrist was dislocated while holding the window.

Sigh!

The eyes of the young man who suddenly appeared in the darkness outside the window were as fierce as those of a demon.

Song Kyung was struck by lightning.

Quad deuk!

Retreat is not tolerated. Seo-ryang rushed at him faster than the speed at which he could withdraw his body and struck him in the face with his elbow.

“Tsk!”

The bridge of his nose was broken and his face was torn. My body stiffened for a moment due to the dizzying pain.

grasp!

The hand holding the collar on his shoulder was stubborn. Song Gyeong tried to pull away again, but the black and white jangsam made of cloth became as hard as steel. The clothes were hardened to incredible strength using Maggi.

“Your skills have improved a lot.”

Pow!

“Ugh!”

A painful groan escaped Song Kyung’s mouth. I was hit in the thigh with a fist and my entire right leg felt paralyzed.

It was a blow that neutralized the evasion itself. Any further escape is impossible.

Song Kyung took a deep breath.

Seo-ryang’s eyes widened. The swirling air is sucked into Song Kyung’s mouth. It looked like it was going to be like a lion’s hooves.

Faaagh!

“Woof!”

Seo-ryang’s left hand cupped his entire face. Song Kyung’s face turned red.

Clumping.

Seoliang’s grip strength was amazing. It was poised to crush Song Kyung’s head in one fell swoop.

He held the song in one hand and raised his arm widely. Accordingly, Song Kyung’s body was also lifted up.

Phew.

Gogu radiated demonic energy and enveloped the entire office. This was to prevent shock waves and sounds from leaking out.

Quaaaang!

Song Kyung’s head fell to the floor.

Grrrr.

Seoliang grinned as he looked down at Song Kyeong, whose limbs were trembling.

“I got you, guy.”
